So that's why I jumped out of bed this morning. My morale was high.

I'm very disappointed that the article had no mention of the Gold Star parents that attended the event. It takes an incredible amount of courage to attend a military function where families have their soldiers safely back home with them. Our son was killed in Afghanistan. I live with that pain everyday, but his death was not worthy enough to be mentioned in the article published in the Desert News.

Gold Star,
Thank you to your son for serving our country. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't have kids yet, so I don't know what it's like, but thank you.

Gold Star,
I'm sorry you lost your son, but the Deseret News does recognize and honor troops.
First, not every article can or will mention the deaths of U.S. soldiers. During a campaign, the focus will typically revolve around one thing and one thing only- the candidates. The real question is whether the Deseret News has a record of ignoring the troops or paying them the honor and respect they have earned. In looking at the history of this site, one is required to ignore how frequent the Deseret News does such in order to hold that critical view. CNN, yes. The Deseret News, not really. Again, your loss is more than sad, more than deserving of recognition everyday. I would never disagree with that. I believe our troops deserve much more recognition than our country gives. Still, the Deseret News frequently gives attention to our deceased soldiers and the remembrance they deserve.
The beliefs behind its majority reader-base demand that amount of recognition, as a whole we without question honor fallen troops. Maybe you feel your son is 'lost in the numbers' (so-to-speak) but I can assure you, he is remembered by others.

The election will fall on these lines. Voting for Obama, people who get
government handouts (49% of the nation get some form now thanks to Obama), the
very rich 1% (don't let the news fool you) who stand to get a profit for
supporting him (read Solyndra here), Unions members (once again those who will
profit), illegal immigrants (trust me they get to vote, they fall under the
handout category) and the hollywood elite (out of touch with reality, live in
fantasy land).
Who will vote for Romney, the middle class who are hard working, goal oriented and know when you're putting lipstick on a pig, the rich 1% who are losing their fortunes to Obama's policies, the independents and grudgingly the evangelicals ( they have their own issues to work on, Obama however seems to be worse than voting for a mormon).
Who wins...If you can eliminate illegal immigrant (don't kid yourself, thats the only reasons Dems want them in the country) votes, and ACORN voter fraud (still exists under a different name), Romney will win by a landside.

VP and Dr. Biden are about as real as it gets. And one reason I will vote this ticket again is that all the people on it know how to ride public transportation, go through a checkout line and buy stuff at a regular store, go shopping like I do (love Michelle's sneaking out to Target!) and keep it real when they speak with people on the campaign trail. These are people who have felt life as it really is, have had the same experiences as many of us, and worse than a lot of us--most importantly, they haven't forgotten how it felt. It has informed their actions now, and whether you agree with them or not, you can't take that from them.

|All Recent SEC Filings
Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Change in Directors or Pr
On November 15, 2011, Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results for the third fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2011 and certain other information that is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
(d) On November 14, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") elected Allen "Al" R. Weiss to serve on the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Weiss will serve as a Class B Director, with his current term expiring at the Company's 2013 annual stockholders' meeting. The Board has determined that Mr. Weiss qualifies as an "independent director" under the New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules, and the Board has appointed him as a member of the Board's Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee.
Mr. Weiss served as President of Worldwide Operations for the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts business of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) from 2005 until his retirement in 2011. Prior to that, Mr. Weiss served in a number of roles for The Walt Disney Company since 1972, including most recently as President of Walt Disney World Resort, Executive Vice President of Walt Disney World Resort and Vice President of Resort Operations Support. Mr. Weiss also serves on the board or council of a number of community and civic organizations.
There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Weiss and any other person pursuant to his election as a director, and there are and have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year, or currently proposed, regarding Mr. Weiss that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
(e) On November 14, 2011, the Board's Compensation Committee approved a new form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the "Agreement") for the Company's Amended and Restated 2002 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which replaces the prior form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.27 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 18, 2011. The Agreement sets forth the material terms of an award of shares of restricted stock, including the forfeiture restrictions implemented with respect to the grant of shares of restricted stock and any cash or in-kind dividends granted prior to vesting of the shares, the applicable vesting terms, the treatment of unvested shares of restricted stock upon termination of employment and potential tax consequences of the award.
The summary of the Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 14, 2011, the Company's Board authorized and declared a dividend for 2011 in the amount of $0.50 per share on the Company's Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The dividend is payable in cash on December 28, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 7, 2011. The Company currently intends to begin payments of regular quarterly dividends beginning in 2012; however, the actual declaration of such future dividends
and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for such future dividends are subject to the final determination of the Company's Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

Can trauma to the chest cause breast cancer?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was in a serious car accident in January of 2004. I had massive trauma to my chest, so much that it collapsed my lung on the right side. Now I have lumps in both my breasts. On the right side the lump is about the size of a plum and on the left side it is about the size of a marble. Does trauma like this to the breast cause breast cancer or can it cause breast cancer? I only have one aunt with breast cancer. Am I at risk?
Julia Draznin Maltzman, MD, Attending Physician at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
There are no objective data that show trauma causes breast cancer. However, it is not unusual for people to notice lumps and bumps after a trauma because they are more aware of the area and pay more attention to that area of their body. Trauma can clearly cause benign lesions that can persist for some time. However, any new breast lumps should be brought to your physicians attention without delay.

Shumlin expresses doubts on GMO bill
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin is expressing doubt about whether Vermont should pass a bill requiring special labeling for food that is genetically modified or contains genetically modified ingredients.
Shumlin says Vermont lost a lawsuit several years ago over a requirement for labels on dairy products from cows treated with an artificial growth hormone.
He says that loss in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals makes Vermont likely not the best state to be the first to test a GMO labeling law.
A bill requiring labels on genetically modified food cleared the House Agriculture Committee last Friday, but even supporters say they expect that if it passes, it will be challenged in court by the biotech industry.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

I was wondering if there is an efficient way to communicate directly with a co-worker in another part of the country when and if we happen to be working on the same page or post in WordPress inadvertently.
Through the development process, it has happened that we are both on the same page, and while there is notification that someone else is editing the page, there's no way to know if they just left it open and forgot about it or if they're really working on it.
Without pickup up the phone, sending a popup message or chatting would be nice, through the dashboard.

Good Old Rock Cakes
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes. Makes 10-12
- method
- Ingredients
Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, making sure you get all the little lumps out of the sugar, then add the spices and rub in the butter until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Lastly, stir in the fruit.
Now break the egg into a separate bowl and whisk it lightly with a fork, then add it to the flour mixture.
Stir until the mixture forms a stiff dough (you may need to add a tablespoon of milk, though certainly not more than two).
Now, using two forks, pile the mixture in irregular spiky heaps on the baking sheet.
Bake near the centre of the oven for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown, then leave to cool for a minute on the tray before removing to a wire rack.
Store in an airtight tin.
Pre-heat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5

Hong Kong Land Auction Beats Estimates in Sign of Confidence
Hong Kong's government sold three residential sites above analyst estimates, highlighting developers' confidence that property curbs haven't damped demand and the economy expanded in the first quarter.
Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. bought a site on Stubbs Road close to the Peak luxury housing district on Hong Kong Island for HK$4.49 billion ($578 million) yesterday, equivalent to HK$24,829 per buildable square foot, according to calculations by Centaline Property Agency Ltd. It was expected to be sold for almost HK$4.4 billion, the median estimate of five surveyors and analysts polled by Bloomberg News.
Government measures to cool surging real estate prices are unlikely to dent appetite for luxury apartments in locations where fewer plots are available for sale, said Eva Lee, a property analyst at Macquarie Securities Ltd. Hong Kong's economy grew more than 7 percent in the first quarter, sustaining an expansion that faces the threats of accelerating inflation and a property-market bubble.
"Developers are still very confident about their abilities to sell homes at prices at or above their current prices in a couple years' time," said Vincent Cheung, national director for valuation and advisory at Cushman & Wakefield Inc.
Estimates for the Stubbs Road site, with a buildable area of 180,835 square feet, ranged from HK$3.6 billion to HK$4.5 billion, with the median translating to HK$24,000 a square foot.
Sun Hung Kai, the world's biggest developer by market value, plans to invest HK$8 billion in the project, Victor Lui, an executive director at its property agency unit, said in an interview yesterday.
More Sites
China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd. bid HK$579 million for a site in the Kowloon Tong area, beating the HK$500 million median estimate. Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd., controlled by Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-shing, paid HK$662 million, 60 percent above the HK$410 million median, for a piece of land in the Yuen Long district.
China Overseas, the Hong Kong-listed developer controlled by the nation's construction ministry, will spend about HK$850 million building houses on the site, Tony Yau, general manager for the company's Hong Kong operation, told reporters after the auction. The company estimates the units will be sold at about HK$26,000 a square foot, Yau said.
The government in November increased property transaction taxes and pledged to boost land supply amid public protests that prices are becoming unaffordable and as the central bank warned about the risk of a "credit-fueled property bubble."
Economic Growth
The city's first-quarter gross domestic product increased 7.2 percent, the government said on its website today, exceeding the 5.5 percent median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 17 economists.
Financial Secretary John Tsang said this week that the government is aiming to cool the real-estate market and restrain excessive credit growth.
Housing prices in the city, ranked the world's most expensive place to buy a home by Savills Plc, gained more than 55 percent in the past two years on record-low mortgage rates and an influx of buyers from China.
The auction results come as home sales dropped to the lowest volume in more than two years in April and some developers have cut prices of new apartments since the end of last month.
Hong Kong's home prices fell 0.2 percent in the seven days ended May 8 from a week earlier, according to Centaline. The Centa-City Leading Index, an indicator of housing prices in the city, dropped to 97.45, it said in an e-mailed release today.
Property Stocks Rise
The Hang Seng Property Index, which tracks seven of the city's biggest developers, rose 1.2 percent at the close in Hong Kong, paring its loss this year to 3.7 percent, compared with the benchmark Hang Seng Index's 1.1 percent gain.
The Stubbs Road and Kowloon Tong parcels "reflect the market still has strong demand for luxury properties in the city," said James Cheung, a surveyor at Centaline, Hong Kong's biggest closely held realtor.
The average price of apartments in the Stubbs Road area, which lies below the east of the Peak district and consists mainly of buildings more than 30 years old and with some overlooking the Happy Valley race course, is now about HK$18,000 a square foot, Cheung said.
"High-end properties always have better holding value in the long run," said Macquarie's Lee in an interview at a conference in Hong Kong yesterday before the auction. "A site this size hasn't been available in this area for a long time, and I doubt if there'll be another one in the near future."
The three sites sold yesterday are among the nine the government plans to sell through auction or tender in the second quarter.

Okay so i have about shoulder length hair. I dont know what to do with it! Any good ideas? I can only straighten it, high ponytail... and idk what else! You can link video tutorials as well! Thanks so much!!
Apr 13, 2012
I have bob length hair and have found that clip in hair extensions to be my best friend! I have some in blond and red and those add really cool color to my hair that I cannot pull off without really damaging my hair! Also using extensions for length is fun too. Just play around and see what you like!
Apr 30, 2012
Are you keeping it shoulder length? or are you growing it out?
Apr 30, 2012
with any length of hair I've ever had, I really love pinning one side back either with a braid (http://www.protol.net/wp-content/up...) or just with any bobby pin (then fluffing it up a bit so it doesnt look flat) or with a cool clip (http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/...). Other than that my hair is still too short to do anything else but those are some ideas!

Sarah Palin admits to defending anti-gay reality star without reading his comments
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Of course she hasn't read it. 'We bigots have got to stick together, after all'.
No it's not his beliefs, he's entitled to them. I defend his right to have opinions, even ones I disagree with. It was what he said about homosexuals and who he compared them to (thieves and murderers). He went into a spiel about vaginas and anuses.
There was no need for it. If he had said "Well, homosexuality's considered a sin in my world view," and left it at that, I could have respectfully disagreed with him on it.
But he went on to defame and ridicule homosexuals and compared us to murderers, and thieves.
That's what you was defending Palin, though let's be honest, you'd agree with him on that anyway. You're just as hateful and ignorant as Robertson.
Very stupid woman, defends very stupid man – shocka!
Sarah Palin is thrillingly idiotic, just awesome.
Of course she has not read them, the silly bint can't read.
S. Palin, has she read The ten Commandments ? Nr. 9 about– "bear false witness–" ? This lady is just a joke. She's as stupid and fake as foam on water. Should be nominated as the new leader of The World wide homophobic society. Even a group like that she would probably bring to ruin.
One total phoney Palin supporting another equally total phoney Robertson. Say hello to the manufactured crap that is the Republican America of their dreams, the ignorant lap it up like pigs at a trough.
She's a cabbage! I would hope that her stupidity is actually favourable to us ,but i'm never shocked by how stupid people can be , so no doubt , she has many fans.
What a clown.
Palin opens her gob before checking anything up. Hold the front page. She reminds me of Barry Humphries' dictum about Dame Edna – 'the key to her character is that she knows nothing about anything, and so has an opinion about everything.'
I guess she also backs his belief that blacks were happier under Jim Crow laws.
like anyone cares what this pain in the A double snakes has to say anymore…she's washed up and rung out http://www.getoffmydress.blogspot.com
Sarah admits she can read. That's a start.
I'd still hit it!!

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians met with the media on Friday, but he said the team wasn't prepared to announce any roster cuts until later.
"There will be some," he said, "but they'll be released later."
Teams must cut their rosters down to 53 players from 75 by 1 p.m. (Arizona time) on Saturday.
Arizona Cardinals: Who stays on the roster?
Though not official, there were multiple reports about various Cardinals players getting released on Friday. Some of them included defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga, linebacker Marcus Benard and center John Estes.
Arians did confirm the team met with free-agent linebacker James Harrison on Friday at the team's Tempe training facility. "We'll see what happens," Arians said, adding, "He's in good shape."
Asked if Harrison has the same competitive attitude that the team lost when defensive tackle Darnell Dockett went down with a torn ACL, Arians said, "Yes, he does. We'd like to have it, yes."
Later in the day, however, azcentral sports learned that Harrison won't be signing with the team.
"We couldn't make the numbers work," his agent, Bill Parise, said.
VIDEO: Bruce Arians meets with media on Friday
Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians talks to the media after the final preseason game of 2014. azcentral sports
In other developments, Arians said second-year safety Tyrann Mathieu, held out of Thursday night's 12-9 preseason loss in San Diego, will have to practice and "tackle somebody" in practice before he is cleared to play in the season opener next Monday night against the Chargers.
Arians had said if Mathieu didn't play Thursday, he wouldn't likely play in the opener.
"Yeah, I wasn't kidding," the coach said. "We'll see how he tackles, though."
Heat Index: Predicting the Cardinals' 2014 season
On the injury front, Arians said cornerback Eddie Whitley did suffer a broken foot in Thursday's game, but added that safety Curtis Taylor only suffered a hematoma and not a broken arm, as feared. Backup tackle Nate Potter suffered a shoulder subluxation, the coach added.
Arians touched on several other subjects during a 6½-minute news conference, including how the following three players making their way back from injuries looked in the Chargers' game Thursday:
Regarding inside linebacker Kevin Minter, who is playing with a harness to protect a pectoral injury, he said, "He was rusty, but he flew around good. He was a little bit late on a couple of reads, but he flew around good. It was good to see him out there. Like he said, and I thought it was a great quote: 'I need to practice.' "
Game photos: Cardinals vs. Chargers
On left guard Jonathan Cooper, who is dealing with a turf toe injury: "He got a little bit better as the game went on. Same thing, a lot of rust. He needs practice in pads. We can only have one in the next eight days or whatever it is. We could have two, but we're going to save them. But that's exactly what he needs right now, he and Kevin and Tyrann, they need to have their pads on and play football. But you really can't do it at this time of the year anymore."
On defensive tackle Alameda Ta'Amu, who is returning from a torn ACL: "He got tired too fast, but he was active in the running game. … He needs to move a little bit better."
Arians said he liked what he saw from newly acquired defensive lineman Tommy Kelly.
"Yeah, Tommy did all right for jumping on a plane and jumping in there. He did fine and I look forward to seeing him out there some more."
Somers: Daryl Washington could face new NFL guidelines
Another positive was kicker Chandler Catanzaro, who made all three of his field goal attempts and boomed the majority of his kickoffs.
"Very pleased with him," Arians said. "He tried to kill some kickoffs and I told him, you don't get any points if you kick it through the damn goal posts."
Arians wasn't pleased with the play of backup tackles Nate Potter and Bradley Sowell, whom he called, "Average at best."
"Both gave up too much pressure, Mental errors. Disappointed."
As for rookie quarterback Logan Thomas, who was just 9 of 21 for 73 yards with an interception and two fumbles, Arians said, "He's a project, just like we thought. He's got ups and downs and wild throws and 'oh (expletive)' throws, but he's about what we thought he would be. I think he's got a good future."
Projecting Cardinals' 53-man roster
azcentral sports Cardinals insider Kent Somers contributed to this report.

Former Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones worked out for the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, according to league sources.
The workout is thought to be Jones' first with an NFL team since the Cowboys released him in February 2009.
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has been a champion in providing second chances to players.
Jones has avoided trouble since his last brush with the law in October 2008. He was involved in an alcohol-related incident with a bodyguard assigned to him by the Cowboys, and hotel employees called police. No arrests were made nor charges filed. But the NFL suspended Jones for four games because the incident was a violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
Jones began his time in Dallas under close league scrutiny after he was suspended for the entire 2007 season for multiple violations of the conduct policy while he was a member of the Titans. The Cowboys traded for Jones before his suspension was over and he was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Aug. 28, 2008.
The Bengals, who earlier had expressed interest in former Jaguars receiver Matt Jones, signed him to a one-year contract Friday. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the deal is worth about $700,000.
Jones had been suspended for the final three games of the 2008 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He was cut by the Jaguars in March 2009.

Way of the Warrior
The Weidman Conundrum
With 2013 now in the books as far as MMA goes; We watched Chris Weidman beat Anderson Silva in July, GSP walked away in December, and then last night we watched Chris Weidman outwork and hurt Anderson until in the 2nd round when Silva sets up a leg kick which was checked and consequently broke Anderson's fibula + tibia. Above is the great Bas Rutten explains what happened in that kick which caused the break and according to the UFC, Anderson will be in the hospital for a few more days after a successful surgery.
While we wait for Anderson to heal we are left to wonder what is next for Chris Weidman?
"I will never get it" Weidman quipped to Ariel Helwani when asked about this second fight and if he would finally get the respect he deserves. I don't disagree. Chris and the UFC has a problem and one that might not be fixable. Weidman faces Belfort next at a yet to be determined date and with Chris' knee injury that bout might be a minute.
"That would be just my luck," said Dana White after hearing about the knee injury because he knows 2014 could prove interesting for the UFC.
In the meantime we have what might be a career ending injury that becomes Chris' first title defense after winning in a similarly odd fashion. Why is this a problem?
The feeling on TV, backstage, and in the fight camps were somber at best because it is a terrible thing to happen in a fight and a harder thing to come back from both literally and figuratively.
The UFC wants a champ that is undisputed and right now there are many who feel that Chris got lucky, twice. Factually that is an incorrect statement as Anderson didn't "make a mistake" in the first fight - he clowned as he had done 16 times prior and paid for it. This time, as Bas illustrated, Anderson used a technique that wasn't perfect and he, along with his leg, paid for it. Chris Weidman is the champ and beat an icon, twice. That is how history should remember him, but will it?
In 2014, the UFC has Cain on the shelf, Anderson on the shelf, GSP retired, a champ who the Internet questions, a champ in Might Mouse that people don't seem to want to watch, Barao + Aldo who do not speak English, and Jon Jones who fights once a year + may need to - along with Ronda Rousey put the company on their shoulders and carry the year.
Chris could be GREAT for the UFC and if he is able to beat a very scary Vitor Belfort. Then, he can build towards that but right now, in the moment, Chris and the UFC hope to build a narrative about this pair of fights that excludes the words, lucky, unlucky, or freak accident and instead replace those descriptors with phrases that Chris deserves.

|Milo Ventimiglia stars as Peter Petrelli on "Heroes"
CBR News recently visited the âHeroesâ set in Los Angeles to speak with the actor about âHeroes,â and in this second of a three-part interview with Milo Ventimigilia, he discusses with us his new book, his love for the comics medium, and what itâs like to see his image in the work of some of comicsâ greatest artists.
âRestâ is about a white-collar New Yorker whose life changes when he becomes addicted to a drug that prevents him from falling asleep. âIt actually came out of the writerâs strike,â explained Ventimiglia. âI had a great script from this writer named Michael Sullivan that needed a little work, but when the strike happened we couldnât sit down and work on it so we pitched it out to a couple of comic book companies.â
|The first issue of Milo Ventimiglia's "Rest" is on sale now from Devil's Due Publishing
The story of âRestâ was developed by Ventimiglia and his Divided Pictures partner Russ Cundiff, with a script by Mark Powers (âDrafted,â âG.I. Joe: Americaâs Eliteâ) and artwork by Shawn McManus. âWeâve got tons of great cover artists,â Ventimiglia said, adding, âWhat weâre doing is guiding the overall story. What Mark Powersâ is doing is taking the source material, which is the story by Michael Sullivan, and cutting loose; creating this huge world with its individual struggle and the weight of the world on this one guyâs shoulders.â
When asked if he could see himself eventually adapting âRestâ into a film project, the actor said, âI can see it in a number of different ways. I mean it could be a movie, it could be a digital series, it could be a TV show or it could just be a great comic. Thatâs the thing that I think myself and my partner are very much wanting to do, just make a good book. He knows how passionate I am about comics and graphic novels. Thatâs all we want to do, just make a really good book.â
Ventimiglia and his company have another book theyâre producing with Top Cow called âBerserker,â which will be coming out in the first quarter of next year. âItâs funny, itâs like you have one entrance in and now you get a couple of opportunities,â the actor said. âI was a huge comic book fan when I was a kid. I went to a place called Fidonia Funnies in Orange County once a week with my Dad. Itâs nice to be able to give back. I feel like Iâm contributing to a bit of the world that raised me, in a sense.â
Itâs widely known that comic book artist Tim Saleâs work is used on âHeroes,â often in the form of character Isaac Mendezâs prophetic paintings. However, several other fan-favorite artists have worked on the webcomics and graphic novels inspired by the series, including Alex Ross, Jim Lee and the late Michael Turner. Ventimiglia talked about what it is like as a comic book fan to see his image in the work of these great artists. âItâs bizarre. I was a fan first and now Iâm working with these guys in a sense or playing their subject matter. But itâs absolutely exciting.â
|The first collection of the "Heroes" webcomics is on sale now from Wildstorm
Where a lot of young actors are careful to not be pigeonholed into one type of role, Ventimiglia is just the opposite. âIf they called me and said, do you want to play Spider-Man? Of course, I would,â said the actor. âI was actually having a conversation last night, with [Marvel Studios Chairman] David Maisel and he was talking about âIron Man.â He was basically saying that itâs a character piece where the guy just happens to be a superhero.
âI think as long as we, here on âHeroes,â or anybody who is making movies about comics and superheroes, stay with the struggle of the character, then all the extraordinary events that surround them are just going to add to the reason why people are drawn into these stories. So they can watch these characters go through things.â
Ventimiglia continued, âBeing invited into [the world of comic books], I often feel like the Hollywood industry is looked at sometimes with squinted eyes when weâre trying to walk into a place that we havenât been before. So going into comic properties, you know people are going to say, what are you going to do? I would hold that world very sacred. But I think walking in, doing it justice and almost legitimizing it to the masses, I think itâs kind of a cool, cool thing.
âSo I have no fear of jumping into it. Going from [âHeroesâ] to playing a superhero in anything else that I do. You know, itâs kind of cool. You want to be a superhero when you grow up.â
âHeroes Volume Three: Villainsâ will break into viewersâ homes September 22 on NBC.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
On its surface, Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl appears to be a run-of-the-mill mystery with a relatively standard plot: On the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne gets a call at work from a concerned neighbor: his front door is wide open. Nick rushes home to find a tea kettle boiled to nothing on the stove, furniture overturned in his living room and his wife Amy missing. He of course calls the police, who immediately begin investigating the disappearance as a crime. The novel follows the course of the investigation as more and more evidence leads them to believe Nick has murdered his wife. This somewhat average synopsis, however, belies the book's uniquely complex story and the deliciously evil plot twists that elevate it from common pot-boiler to "oh my gosh you must read this now" status.
The story is alternately told by Nick and Amy. Nick's voice ...

Pride in Concert: Kelly Rowland
The musical culmination of Pride Month in the Twin Cities brings R&B superstar Kelly Rowland to Loring Park. First with Destiny's Child, and for the past decade as a solo songstress, Rowland's sweet pipes have found their way onto several hit urban collaborations, including "Dilemma" with Nelly and "Motivation" with Lil Wayne. But let's not forget that Kelly's got a sassy dance-floor diva side too, and who better to bring it out than French DJ/producer David Guetta. They hooked up on the churning, sizzling hits "When Love Takes Over" and "Commander," and she'll be commanding all of Loring to dance — though compliance shouldn't be difficult to attain. With DJ Rich B, Spearz, and Sick of Sarah.

Posted by a Personal Injury client
Mr. Mortlock always kept me informed and made me feel very comfortable. He is caring and understanding. I refer him everyone I know.
Posted by Sarah
I was introduced to Bryan at one of the lowest points in my life. I had been arrested for driving while intoxicated and was scared, confused, and overwhelmed by how to deal with it. I had heard that DUI's could cost upwards of $10,000 and didn't know what to do. He convinced me that I had a better shot at limiting my penalties with him representing me and he followed through. Not only was I only convicted of a wet reckless, but my fees came to around $3,500 including his services! I never felt like I was being taken for a ride and he was there for me every step of the way. I felt so terribly about myself and was afraid that any attorney would judge or begrudgingly represent me, but he understood that I am a good person who made a really dumb mistake. Hopefully I will never require his services again, but if in some case I do, I will call him. He and even his office staff are extremely non-judgmental and approachable. I recommend him whole heartedly!
Posted by Jamee
Bryan Mortlock was the most friendly, helpful, and caring lawyer. I was having trouble understanding all the legal language of my case and Bryan gladly took extra time to explain everything to me. I would recommend him to anyone I know!
Posted by Aaron
We were in a very difficult situation with a car accident. Many attorneys wouldn't take my case. Bryan worked with my family and helped us through a difficult situation. He kept me informed and let my family know how things were progressing. In the unfortunate event I have to call an attorney, I will only call Bryan Mortlock.
Posted by Jennifer
Brian is a great lawyer. He is compassionate and kind and truly cares about his clients and their situations. If you are with him, you are in good hands as he will do everything he can to help you!

Viewer Comments: Broken Arm - Causes
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Broken Arm:
Comment from: nanawebb, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: February 27
I fell on a patch of black ice in my parking lot. It was slippery everywhere and I kept falling back down. I am nearly 70 years old and I am overweight, so it was extremely difficult for me to stand, but I crawled to a post and I was able to pull myself up. In the end, I had broken my arm clear in half.
Comment from: Foolish, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: November 26
I found out I had a broken arm by finally going to an urgent care facility after three falls within 10 days and all basically in the same position. I don't really know which fall caused the fracture. I have never had a broken bone so I was surprised. The doctor took X-rays and said my ulna was fractured and referred me to an orthopedic facility. I still have not had it treated because it was Friday afternoon and everything was closed for the weekend. I have been concerned because of the length of time since the break. One of the times I fell was while walking down the hall of a hospital and witnesses asked if I wanted to go to the emergency room to get checked out. I said no. I guess I'll live.
Comment from: Write2Inspire, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 05
While helping my daughter move we were leaning over her claw foot tub while hanging a shower curtain, lost center of gravity and fell into the tub. At least it's a funny story!
Comment from: grace, 55-64 Female Published: September 17
I fell off my bicycle. I am 61. I was trying to get some exercise. I shattered my humerus. And now, here I am, typing with one hand.
Comment from: Beverly, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: September 11
I was walking my dog & a pit bull ran at my dog. I tried to trip the pit bull, but it tripped me instead. I fell backwards and broke my lower arm/fractured it. Went to surgery the same day and they put in a plate and screws. It is much better. The pit bull did not bite me or my dog. I feel fortunate it's not worse.

In the interest of fostering discussion on current campus topics, I'd like to share the following message from Mike Bohn, Athletic Director.
Your TEAM Update
By Mike Bohn, Athletic Director
Winter sports are now in full stride for the Golden Buffaloes, following a productive season for the fall sports programs. We are pleased with the collaboration and support from the campus constituencies, creating reason to believe that the direction of the athletic department – along with the tide of public perception - is moving in a positive direction that we can all be proud of.
We have made many changes in staff and policies over the past several months, but we recognize there is still a great deal of work to be done. Most importantly, we have finished writing the first section of a business plan with collaboration from staff across the campus, spearheaded by Jeff Lipton. The best way to summarize the document might be to call it "half mission statement, half Athletics 2010," the strategic plan that was in place upon my arrival last spring. This important effort is an example of the kind of teamwork we are engaging in with faculty, staff and students.
The most visible changes are taking place in our football program. It was well documented that we wanted to "hit a home run" with the new head coach and we did just that with the hiring of Dan Hawkins. He has assembled an impressive staff and retained two assistant coaches, former CU players Brian Cabral and Darian Hagan. He also hired Greg Brown, a familiar face to many in the area. "Hawk" brought four assistants with him from Boise State and looked to Arizona State and California for his other two hires.
Funding for our 17 intercollegiate sports is a top concern for our program, as it is for many departments across the campus. We must generate increased revenue to cover all increases in expenditures, including over $7 million in scholarships. We rely on private donations to help fund scholarships for student-athletes and facilities, among other needs. To that end, we created a new program, the Buff Club Cabinet, an aggressive fundraising effort currently comprised of 38 donors who have pledged $25,000 annually for three years (for a total of $2.85 million).
Additionally, the day we announced "Hawk" as our 23rd football coach, President Hank Brown was on hand to help announce a significant gift of $1.5 million from Tom and Cydney Marsico. This lead gift is well over half of the funds needed to build a multi-use indoor training complex that not only will serve athletics, but numerous university programs through the recreation center and special events as well. We are very excited about building this new facility that students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community will all enjoy for years to come.
Many of you work with our student-athletes and I would like to extend my personal thanks to you for being part of their success and part of our team. We will continue to help showcase the excellence of our faculty and staff at home contests, and I invite you to bring your friends and family to support the Buffs.
We have embraced the "Your TEAM" concept in athletics - TEAM as an acronym for Together, Everyone Accomplishes More. The Your TEAM philosophy certainly applies to the entire Boulder campus, and we look forward to working with you to make CU-Boulder one of the top universities in the nation.

House-made sauces top each classic Italian dish on the menu at Biscotti's Ristorante, sending up ribbons of steam as waiters bear loaded plates across glossy hardwood floors. Specialty pizzas borrow toppings from meat- and seafood-rich entrees such as chicken parmigiana and clams casino, and a to-go family meal arms patrons with enough pasta, soup, salad, and bread to stun four bellies into a satisfied silence.

The 165-residence private cruise ship berthed at Port
Chalmers about 7.30am yesterday.
The cruise ship - which is based in Miramar, Florida, and
flies the flag of the Bahamas - has residents from more than
10 countries who live on board, some permanently.
Residents Douglas Schumann (69) and Sandi Davies (51), both
of Naples, in the US, said they were enjoying their first
visit to Dunedin although it was ''cold''.
The pair took the opportunity to see the locations The World
visited by bicycle.
It was their second time in New Zealand and, despite the
chilly weather, they were looking forward to snacking on ice
''We seldom eat ice cream,'' Mr Schumann said.
''But we make an exception in New Zealand. It's so creamy.''
The pair was also looking forward to eating oysters and
tackling the ''beautiful country'' by bicycle.
The biggest challenge in New Zealand was ''the hills'', Miss
Davies said.
''But if they don't kill you, they make you stronger.''
The World sails for Stewart Island about 8pm today.
