Great find CJ!
Sounds like EJ is not all the way sold on Mo Williams. Baron is a better all around player, I'd rather have a homerun over a single anyday. Only thing Mo has on him is a better 3 point shot and that's debatable.
^^^^^ Agree.
Hahah you guys serious? Gordon obviously prefers Mo to Baron. We've got two stars on the team, why would we want Baron to be the one to be held accountable on this team.
We'll no [Williams] is a guy... he just let's everybody do what they do. Baron, you had to have him accountable to have him play well."
The thing with guys going for home runs, its hard to hit for a high average when you're going for a home run. As the guy who always has the ball in his hands, we can't afford to be on his whims.
I read it and I have no idea what he was talking about. Sounded like he was tiptoeing and trying not to offend... The result, a very vanilla article... albeit a confusing sort of vanilla.
IMO for us to be successful, Gordon has got to step up into a distributors role. I'm thinking 5-6 assists out of both guys
To me it sounds like comparing Fuji apples to Granny Smith. To each his own on what you prefer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is EJ's take.
@ Loyal
^^ Not really. I think what he's trying to say is that MO is a guy who isn't going to "stunt" his growth by dominating the ball and taking the last shot all the time. He's basically saying Baron needed the ball to create (agree) and Mo ain't going to stand in his way cause that's what he does (catch and shoot). You can see where he was going when he said he likes "making the last play"...Meaning, the last shot...Home run?
I think EJ has resentment for that. But, Gordon has had many chances to hit a home run and he either lost the ball, got it stolen, or didn't get a shot off. EJ just used a bad analogy. It was another jab just not a good one. Home run meant taking the last shot.
In simple terms, MO isn't going to steal his "home runs" and will defer to him.
Bottom line, I think EJ just wanted to be the home run hitter and Baron was standing in his way. Now he is going to held accountable just like Baron was. If we make the play-offs next season ( fully expect that), then the trade was a good trade. If we don't, that will be the 4th year with EJ that we haven't done a thing. The West is prime for us to make a move. If EJ can't get us to the 8th seed, I'll have to wonder if EJ ever will.
mo williams is our PG... he aint a good defender.. aint the best passer... but he can shoot... and he at least doesnt fold under pressure
Yet he's shooting 54 percent in the clutch this season...
Do you remember Ted Williams? It's not Gordon. How much confidence does Mo' engender. With Baron this squad had a personality. We lost it.

Yet we're 7-19 with EJ out of the line-up.
And what was our record with him before Baron came back? Probably worse...And most of those games were at home. And the games that were on the road didn't get us more than 1-2 wins.

But if Baron was the main factor in the Clippers' success as you claim, why did we fall flat on our faces when EJ went down? Including breaking the Cavs historic losing streak...
maybe because, Rhino, Cook, Gordon, Kaman were all out? And also the fact we were going on an 11 game road trip? that's why we we were losing.
Im not gonna debate on who is better Baron or Mo, but i will comment on EJ. He wants to be the man, as a matter of fact, i bet you if BG develops a good jumper and more of a reliable closer, he'd probably complain about that. Gordon is good, pure scorer, but he hasn't done anything in the clutch moments of close games to warrant my confidence in him to close out the game. He has the ability, but doesn't seem to have the poise. I've watch him kick it off his feet, step out of bound, throw the ball away, turn the ball over numerous times just trying. We've lost games because he couldnt get a shot off because lack of dribble ability. Until he proves he can be the Homerun hitter, then he shouldnt even mention of anyone wanting to be a homerun hitter. He's struck out numerous times bottom of the 9th with 2 outs.
But if Baron was the main factor in the Clippers' success as you claim, why did we fall flat on our faces when EJ went down? Including breaking the Cavs historic losing streak...
No help its basic NBA knowledge young teams struggle greatly on the road now add all our vets were down and the ones we had were Foye (inconsistent) and Gomes (worthless) only vets we had that brought it were Davis and Diogu. With all that Baron still played his ass off and led a 4th quarter charge in all those games. We played elite teams and Baron couldn't rest for a second because Bledsoe was so horrible running the team after we got done with the elite teams Baron was wearing down from the strain and his knee went out which was the most understandable injury we have had all season. Even then he rode it out. Against the Cavs we were deflated mentally and physically Baron tried late to steal the game back but it was a terrible perfromance by everyone.
Far as Gordon goes he is trying to be the man before he earns it. Baron did need the ball in his hands because it was the only time things didn't blow up every position. Gordon needs to remember it was Baron who was controlling the ball that got him back out of his 3pt slump. Gordon tries to be hero and things go wrong he should be more grateful Baron had no problem getting him the ball when he moved around and was active.
I feel like EJ was trying to be cautious with his words but when he said stuff like "you had to make Baron accountable..." and "you just never know", it kind of seemed to me like if he had to pick someone in his mind he would pick Mo.
Mo Williams knows what is to be a "role player." Thats exactly what he was in Cleveland with Lebron. And yeah, you can argue that he didnt do well in the playoffs, but neither did Lebron. That whole team didnt show up. But Mo was great with Lebron - He didnt stand in his way of letting Lebron be Lebron and so far he's let Blake do his thing. Mo is not a selfish player by any means. He may not have the passing ability of Baron Davis, but im sure he'll delegate more to EJ than Baron did. Its one thing being the assist man to Blake when he gets on sportscenter for a crazy alley-oop dunk. Look at me Im Baron Davis and I threw that oop! I dont think Baron thought he'd get on sportscenter with a pass to Eric Gordon.
My point is, Mo knows how to play next to superstars. He knows his role. Baron has always been "the guy" - and even this year he needed to be in every play with Blake. Let Mo do his thing, create space, which frees up room for Blake and Ej. I think its going to work out really nice once all three are healthy and clicking
Create space? lol only thing he creates is shots...for himself. Mo was Lebron's sidekick, but all he did was spot up and shoot. Anyone can do that. He didnt bring the ball up...nope that was Lebron, he didnt create...nope that was Lebron. He didn't break defenders down so others get shot...nope that was Lebron, he was the benificiary of the assist. Of course he was a good role player to Lebron. Everyone was a good role player for Lebron with the Cavs. Who would stand in Lebron's way of being Lebron? Why do you think Lebron considered coming here in the first place in free agency, because Baron, He and Baron are good friends and He knew Baron was a great passer. Why do you think Mo and Baron almost swapped team last year? Because Lebron wanted Baron over Mo. But it didnt happen. If Mo knew what it is to be a role player, then maybe he should play his role better and be a "point guard" and not a "shooting" guard. Break defenders down and dish off, pick and roll and give to the roller. Instead he breaks defenders down to pull up or get a pick and pop.
were u guys whining to let this topic go
anyways.. eg is right about one thing, baron is unpredictable.
Baron's leadership didnt help the cavs last night from beinig smashed by 40 points. and mo is about to go 3 and 0 against baron this season.
this too me clearly shows why Gordon didnt like Baron and why i have always complained about Baron: lack of effort. Not too many people are willing to say Mo i more talented than Baron but the fact that he is playing hard out there and giving it his all and actually is a better shooter, he is a better fit imo. Especially with players like Blake and Kaman who demand a double team and with a good ball handling SG in Gordon makes him a decent short term solution.
All of this is just buying time for Bledsoe to grow more. Rajon Rondo w/ a shot here we come:)
How is he shooting 54.3 percent in the clutch then?
LoL and Mo is so predictable he gets us so much wins? He so consistant in his 3pt's. He so predictable for us that we expect him to shoot and not pass the ball? I guess Baron isn't the Only Predictable one. 40 points, ok, well at least Baron wasnt on a team that had the worst losing streak in sports. Wait i predict that was Mo's team?
in the clutch? haha you mean in the 4th quarter but before the game is on the line? maybe becuause he doesnt shoot much because he always looses the ball so that doesnt count as a shot? lol
anyone but baron can catch and shoot. lebron never considered coming here. that's why our meeting lasted for 30 mins instead of 3 hours
We also lost successive games to the Cavs, Raptors, and Bucks...
he was injured and broke that streak in front of baron's best game.
Came to Baron's team and won without EJ and averaged more points than Baron ever did. Baron is a better player but when he's old, lazy, and out of shape i dont want him on my team. Give me someone who at least give a sh1t and wont hog the ball to rack up his assists
Even if he shot 54% ...1 out of 4 tries, he'll make it and make it 1 out of every 2 shots, that's like 1 out of 8 he makes. You can't sit there and tell me he doesnt turn the ball over or throw it away, kicks it off his knees or run out of time trying to shoot. Everyone here cant deny that.
Do some research before you make blanket, untrue statements.
Of the top ten clutch players so far this season, guess who is shooting the highest percentage? Yep, it's Eric Gordon.
We also lost successive games to the Cavs, Raptors, and Bucks...
LOL.. when we win games it's cuz of baron but when we lose we blame it on EJ and kaman missing. Which one is it. It's like the baron davis approach taking ALL the credit but NONE of the blame
and you cant tell me that baron is not old, fat, lazy, and turnover prone who cant shoot
Of the top ten clutch players so far this season, guess who is shooting the highest percentage? Yep, it's Eric Gordon.
he'll counter with "Baron created that shot opportunity for him" lol
No one is saying Baron made us win, but what we are saying is that just like all the praise Gordon gets, then you should look at his blame as well. You guys blaming this and that and No one has blame Gordon, he's just too good. Just telling you how it is, He turns ball over. He wants to be the "Man", then he has to do it. He says Baron's a talker, but he wants to be the Guy, then Show it. Get your butt on the floor and not always on the bench sitting with injuries year in and year out, and when games on the line, Close the games out. Dont turn ball over. So many times i've watch him turn the ball over at critical times in the games that makes me say WTF!.
you sound like the sex panther guy from anchorman, "50% of the time it works every time"
the blind baron support is crazy to me. guy isnt even on the team and he never helpedus win and we paid him a lot of money. tell me why everyone loved him so much? I guess many bought into Baron's false promises
Ok so he's lazy, fat , and cant shoot...so who is on the floor more the last few years? Baron or Gordon. You saying this and that but if Gordon cant even stay on the floor, so what? what will that hELP. This got nothing to do with Baron. We talking about Gordon. What will you say? who will you blame next season if Gordon goes down again. What will your excuse me since Baron is gone? If Kaman gets hurt again misses time and Gordon gets hurts misses critical time "again" what will you say then?
lol this isn't about Baron, 24 we talking about Gordon. This year i've watch him turn ball over at critical times, lose games for us at clutch times because he cant even get a shot off. So if he cant get a shot off, does that go into account of FG% of clutch time? it's not included. Too many times i've seen him turn the ball over again and again in critical situations.
lol@bought into Baron's false promises. If im guilty of that, then you are guilty in buying into Sterling'S and the Clippers false promises for the last few decades lol
I claimed? I never claimed anything. I put perspective on things. You want to make it sound as if Gordon is the only reason we went 7-19. You want to make it sound that way, then I'll go that same route. It has nothing to do with Baron. It has to do with telling the truth.
With Gordon leading this team, we went on a 9 game losing streak in November with most of the games at home.
In November we went 3-12 without BD. That's with Gordon shooting 54 % in the clutch. And remember that clutch stat is only for games with "4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points".
So what looks worse?
7-19 or 3-12?
We also went 0-7 on the road in that month.
0-7 on the road
3-12 in that month. The month Gordon was the 7th leading scorer in the league. One can also say that with Kaman back, and BD and EJ out, the team was able to win on the road.
Interesting. In the same interview Gordon says that Baron is questionable as to his motivation and effort, and yet felt entitled to take the last shot. Sounds like what he was saying was that Baron is an ego driven player. After all, if your team can't count on your consistent effort why would you expect to be the "go to" guy in the most crucial situations? Logically you wouldn't, unless your ego told you different. Baron's always told him different. It's part of why he felt like he could loft up so many threes despite a miserable shooting percentage from that range. (and there is no debate about whether Mo shoots the three better, he does) Although Eric soft-pedaled the notion, (almost no player is going to publically outright trash another, so no surprise there - his uncensored opinion might be a bit more to the point) the indication seems clear. He expects Mo to be a more reliable point, and he assumes that he'll see more of the ball in late game situations. As he should. From his POV the trade is win/win.
If Gordon is injured every year because he was making basketball moves to help us win a game that are NOT PREVENTABLE I will never blame him...if he comes to camp out of shape and disinterested in playing and misses game because of something PREVENTABLE than I will blame him.
How anyone compares to the two is just plane ignorant. Missing games is missing games I agree there, but the way it happens you cannot compare the two.
It goes both ways, when EJ went down and it was Baron's chance to lead the team, we went 4-10 (2 home victories against the Bobcats and Bucks and two road victories against the Knicks and T'Wolves).
And if Gordon going down wasn't the reason for the Clippers going 7-19 during that stretch, is it then a coincidence that we were beating teams like the Heat and Lakers literally one or two games before he went down?
When validating your argument that Baron shouldn't have been traded, you've always mentioned that before EJ went down we were beating great teams...so is that no longer true?
Both EJ and Baron have played big roles in the Clippers' victories this season, and when one or the other have been out, the team has struggled mightily...that much is obvious.
I also didn't see EJ's quotes as complaining...I mean he compliments Baron's abilities in the article.
On a side note Joe, who will you be rooting for on Saturday?
Part of the reason why Gordon is getting hurt is because of the way he drives. He goes in a straight line, trying to beat his man. Players like Rose, Kobe, and the sort have the ability to change, stop, and alter the the direction they're going in based on the way the defense is moving. In other words, your chances of getting hit hard when you're going in a straight line versus guys that move around the defense are far more likely to get hurt.
And lets put things into perspective, Gordon hasn't done a THING in his time here. He lost him last season when we were close to .500 and we lost him this season when we were the hottest team. That is the plain truth whether you want to play the ignorant card or not. The only times we had a chance to change things around here, Gordon has gotten hurt.
Plain unadulterated truth, right there.
Since when does a good moderator of any website start jumping on people's throats just because they don't agree with someones idea.............looks like power does corrupt............sad
Ok clipperandrew then maybe we should sign greg oden, since he usually works out hard and tries to come into camp in shape. The fact of the matter is you get injured, miss games. Those missed games cost us games, wich will cost us chance for playoffs. Thats all im saying. If he gets injured every year playing like magette, them maybe he needs to learn to adjust his fames so he doesnt always get hurt and miss 20 or more games a season. Because like it or not, its reality. Injuries, can be devastating and if it happens every year, and we get nowhere, what then?
Just because he's a moderator doesn't mean he can't express his opinion.
People take differing view points or citicism of their view points WAY too much to heart on this forum.
Joe and I may have different views on a certain subject, but that doesn't mean he's 'jumping down my throat.'
See, that's my point. We needed both players. The facts prove we were a hot team with both guys on the floor, Kaman was a non factor. That's my point. You came out with the 7-19 stuff, not me. I just used that same rationale and it ends up that we had a worse record with Gordon leading this team. That wasn't my intention, you made the comparison, not me.
EJ has a history of taking shots at BD. He just isn't articulate enough to make his point obvious, or make it subtle. He ends up with a terrible analogy that just made no sense.
Look, People around here know that I have been very critical of EJ the past 2 seasons. Up until this season, he was terrible in the paint. This season he became a little more composed. I gave him props. I just don't think he should be talking the way he has n the media, he isn't a player that merits that stage. It also makes him look petty coming out talking about his teammates like that. EJ is a me first player through and through.
Seems like the only person that had a grudge on BD was EJ. No one else seemed to. Doesn't that send up a red flag about the way EJ carries himself?

Healthy Communities Challenge Day returns to Marysville with strong turnout
MARYSVILLE — The second annual Healthy Communities Challenge Day drew more than 3,000 attendees throughout the day June 5, at least equaling its total from last year.
According to city of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Andrea Kingsford, Get Movin' registered more than 1,100 children for the event, topping the organization's Snohomish County-wide record from last year's Healthy Communities Challenge Day, while city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew noted that this year's 80 vendors almost doubled the number who took part in the last year's Healthy Communities Challenge Day.
This year's Healthy Communities Challenge Day offered a variety of avenues for activity, from familiar childhood favorites such as rope jumping to relatively new options such as "pole fitness." Adison Pigg, 15, demonstrated a number of "vertical dance" gymnastic moves on a portable metal pole at the Allen Creek Elementary campus, on behalf of Pink Ladies from Snohomish. The Pink Ladies visited Marysville to show how pole fitness can provide core, upper body and strength workouts, while Rene Bibaud and Nakean Wickliff of the Seattle-based Ropeworks showed off their skills and encouraged their audience to join in for rounds of Double Dutch.
"As much as we try to instill the fun of fitness, we also want kids to find things they enjoy and try their best," said Bibaud, a world rope jumping champion and Cirque Du Soleil artist. "This Healthy Communities Challenge Day is really well done. It focuses on making health and fitness part of people's daily lives."
The day also included information on maintaining healthy lifestyles, with Peter Costa of Senior Services of Snohomish County speaking to an older audience about topics such as daily exercises to main balance and common home safety hazards to check for. At the same time, licensed massage therapist Jennifer Richards of Life Impact in Marysville explained the health benefits of massage therapy, such as relieving the pain of tight muscles, reducing stress and tension, increasing circulation and flexibility, and boosting the immune system.
While Jaylon Nelson Sellers of Quil Ceda Elementary hula hooped up a storm, his mother staffed a booth for Naval Station Everett that addressed healthy meal choices, preventive dental care and tobacco cessation. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Keashia Garner is a corpsman stationed on board the USS Abraham Lincoln who's been active-duty for the past 18 years.
"Our interactive displays let kids pick out examples of vegetables, grains, fruits and starches to make their own recipes," Garner said.
As Marysville's Landon O'Neal scaled a fabricated rock climbing tower, his mom Colleen gushed over their first time at Healthy Communities Challenge Day.
"It's been pretty cool," Colleen O'Neal said, as Landon grabbed handholds while wearing a rope harness. "He's been waiting so patiently to see how high he can climb. The sun finally coming out today has been a plus. I love the exercise element of it, and how it offers the kids safe challenges. It's more than I expected. It's motivated me to start doing more things as a family. We signed up for Get Movin', and these activities are great for all my kids, from ages 5 to 21."

Boy Scout leaves his mark with Centennial Trail benches
ARLINGTON Matthew Parker is reticent to brag about himself, but he's making some heavy contributions to the community, quite literally.
For his Eagle Scout project, the 16-year-old Parker enlisted the aid of nearly a dozen of his peers in assembling six concrete benches, to be placed along Centennial Trail.
Cuz Concrete created the pre-ordered pieces, which Parker opted for after consulting with the city of Arlington. He and his team then had to do the heavy lifting of putting all pieces together themselves.
""Each bench weighs 425 pounds,"" Parker said. ""The bottom is 245 pounds, the back is 120 pounds, and each of the ends are 60 pounds. We had to prepare the grounds where they would be placed, by digging up enough earth to fit 8-foot by 6-foot concrete pads where we'd attach the benches.""
Parker cited the number of helping hands he received as one reason why it only took 30 minutes to assemble each bench, and two hours to dig each hole. The benches are being crane-lifted into their six locations, three around Legion Park, one by the cemetery, another at Gleneagle and the final one near 67th Avenue.
""They're concrete, so they'll last longer than I will,"" Parker laughed. ""It was hard work to get them together, with all the screws lined up.""
Parker sees his Eagle Scout project as a culmination of the lessons he's learned since joining the Boy Scouts of America 10 years ago. A member of Troop 81, Parker pointed to the importance of teamwork and leadership in achieving goals, but also encouraged scouts to make sure they have fun with it.
""I joined when I was in first grade and I loved it,"" said Parker, whose father was also in scouting. ""For the past seven years, making Eagle has been my goal. It's the highest that you can shoot for. Enjoy what you do, but don't procrastinate.""

PELHAM, Alabama - The Pelham City Council is ready to spend up to $125,000 on a one-time offer to the municipality's employees to buy some of their accrued vacation time this week.
Council members at their meeting on Monday night unanimously approved the offer that caps the sell-back for each employee at 40 hours. Department heads this week were ensuring that all employees were aware of the offer.
The offer is a one-time opportunity the city is making available to employees on a volunteer basis. At the council's work session on Monday night, city leaders heard that close to 60 employees had already signed up for the offer for payment set for Friday.
The offer arrives at the holiday season, but it also represents a way for the city to reduce its necessary cash liability regarding employee vacation time.
"We don't have to show as much cash on hand" to compensate for the vacation time accrued by employees, Mayor Gary Waters said. "Not only is this a win for employees, it's a win for us as well."

The accident happened shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday as a motorist was turning left on a street. Police said the boy has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
Gary Stuff, chief of a volunteer fire company in Kenmore, told The Buffalo News that he was shopping nearby when the accident occurred. He says people began running over to help, and he had them lift the car while a man pulled the bicyclist from beneath the vehicle.
Stuff said the rescue was "a good group effort" by people who "did what we had to do" to save the boy.
The names of the boy and the driver have not been released.

I would suggest the large Stand Up Paddle board as an alternative to the Kona, if you are looking for something that can be paddled and sailed in light winds. It sails very much like the old Superlight in light wind, and you can paddle it, or surf with it. You can stick in a centerfin, and there is rubber over a lot of the deck.

The Intersection of Origami & Escher
Origami Tessellations is the website of Metafilter member Eric Gjerde. In addition to the many interesting posts on the main page (such as this article about an artist who lasercut an 85:1 scale model of his house into a hardback book), the site features many original pieces by Gjerde, with downloadable PDF diagrams & graphics to show you how to make your own geometric art out of paper.
Moneygami is origami made from U.S. currency; the subtle genius lies in the way the artist incorporates the prints on the dollar bills into the facial characteristics of the finished figures. More moneygami here. Via.

Meet the cast of 'Fame'
Kehrington Payne struts her stuff in the reboot of the classic flick
Next gallery »Terminator Salvation New Posters and Photos
« Previous galleryBackstage and Beyond the 2009 Oscars
These kids are gonna live forever
Last month, I had the opportunity to visit the set of MGM's first new movie under new studio head Mary Parent, a reimagining of Alan Parker's classic "Fame."
The feature debut of Kevin Tancharoen, this "Fame" follows in the footsteps of it's 1980 predecessor by following an ensemble of students at New York City's High School of Music and Art (or whatever it's called in the movie for legal reasons). Besides Kherington Payne, Naturi Naughton and Kay Panabaker, most of the recognizable names belong to the teachers played by Kelsey Grammer, Bebe Neuwirth, Megan Mullally and Charles S. Dutton.
On this day, the cast was finishing a long shoot piecing together the film's finale (left) which featured singing solos, a live orchestra and, as you'd expect, dramatic dance numbers. The overall quality was leaps and bounds above any "High School Musical," but you have to feel for first time director Kevin Tancharoen who will undoubtedly loose in any comparisons to Parker's work.
Most importantly, there was still no word on whether the Oscar-winning title track "Fame" was going to be included in the new flick.

Following is a press release from The Fisherman Magazine relative to this weekend's Jersey Shore Boat Expo.
The MTA/NJ is pleased to announce the Spring Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo, being held May 14-16, 2010 at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood NJ, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws. This three-day sales event will be held at the same great location with even more to offer exhibitors and consumers. The show runs from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Friday the 14th, and from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, the 15th and 16th.
On May 15, the RFA, MTA/NJ and The Fisherman Magazine will host a Fisheries Town Hall Meeting at noon, featuring U.S. Congressman John Adler. Join the open forum to get answers to the nagging questions about our boating and fishing community. Rep. Adler is co-sponsor of the Flexibility in Rebuilding American Fisheries Act and an active member of the National Sportsmen's Caucus. This is a great opportunity for recreational boaters and fishermen to interact with their coastal representative in Washington DC, while enjoying a Saturday afternoon at the shore!
Immediately following the Fisheries Town Hall Meeting at noon, stick around the Blue Claws Stadium conference hall for an afternoon of exciting seminar action. At 2 pm, hook-up with Gary Caputi, noted author (Fishing for Striped Bass) and field editor for Salt Water Sportsman magazine, reveals some of most guarded striper secrets. With the spring run of trophy striped bass in full swing, you won't want to miss Top Tips for Stripers on Saturday, May 15 at 2 p.m.
At 4 p.m. join RFA-NJ chairman Capt. Adam Nowalksy for a discussion on reef and wreck fishing along the Jersey Coast. The skipper of Karen Ann II Charters in Southern Jersey makes his living putting charters onto great action at the local snags, and is taking time off the water to help Jersey Shore Boat Expo attendees maximize their efforts and experience while fishing the Garden State reefs and wrecks this season. Bottom's UP, 2010 should be a banner year for you and the family!
Congratulations are in order for Hamilton's Tom Valentino, winner of the Chris Pezska custom mahi carving raffled off during the 2010 show season. Tom's membership was drawn at random from the batch of new and renewing memberships taken at the A.C. Boat Show, Philly Oaks Show, Shore Catch Guide Service seminar, and Salt Water Expo in Somerset. Tom will officially accept his new mahi carving at the Fisheries Town Hall Meeting on May 15th in Lakewood. For directions to the event, visit www.jerseyboatexpo.com.

thanks, Judg and Jenn! All good thoughts and suggestions. I love the brainstorming! :) It doesn't seem to matter what I put in my stomach. Today I had bacon and eggs - no stomach issues. And last night I had a Dairy Queen Blizzard (my 20%). So, dairy doesn't seem to be the problem. Many years ago I was so sick with it that I could be eating a salad for lunch, and within 15 minutes I was in bathroom - depositing undigested salad into the toilet. Granted - it may have been the salad I had eated for yesterdays lunch - but just the same, the food was going through without digesting. Not to be too graphic - but seeing bits of lettuce, carrots and broccoli coming out the wrong end is a bit worrisome!
I didn't know about the iron thing. I'm getting blood work done on monday and I will ask her to check that also. I do take a multiple vitamin that says it has 100% of RDA of iron, but maybe that isn't enough - or isn't absorbing. Although I sure pee orange after taking it! Isn't that the iron? Something to research......... I love research! :)
I'm beginning to think it could be parasites. I was tested about a year ago and got a "negative" result - but I think I might just do a parasite cleanse anyway. It couldn't hurt. I've heard if you have parasites it can also effect your ability to lose weight. I think I'll do some research on that and maybe order some stuff.
Anyway - thanks again! I sure appreciate the input and the concern :) I hope you both have a wonderful FRIDAY! :) the weekend is shaping up to be pretty nice - and I'm looking forward to some fun with my husband! :)

Petition seeks term limits for Federal Way elected leaders
A petition is in circulation to impose term limits on Federal Way's city council members and mayor.
The petition was started by resident Roy Parke. His effort to adopt term limits for Federal Way's leaders began in July. More than 900 signatures have been gathered. To be placed on a ballot as a citizen initiative, 6,044 (15 percent) of registered Federal Way voters must sign the petition within a 90-day time frame, city spokeswoman Linda Farmer said.
Parke, a truck driver who spends much of his time on the road, has for years expressed the opinion that Federal Way needs fresh leaders. He was behind the 2009 measure that will allow residents to elect their mayor for the first time this November. Term limits mark the next needed step, he said.
"This is what's better for the City of Federal Way," Parke said.
Term limits
Term limits will reduce the influence of special interest groups, reduce spending and bureaucracy, permit the people to decide what is best for Federal Way, encourage participation and fresh ideas from citizens, and encourage competitiveness in elections, Parke said. Everything Parke has done is "to make this city, our government, more accountable to the people," he said.
The petition has the potential to noticeably change city government. Neither city council members nor the mayor are held to term limits. Parke is proposing limiting the mayor to two, four-year terms. Currently, Federal Way's mayor is chosen by the council members from within its ranks for a two-year term.
The term limits would apply to an elected mayor. Starting after the November election, the mayor position will be filled by a person elected by the public to serve a three-year term. As it stands now, there is no limit to how many terms an elected mayor may serve.
Parke proposes three, four-year terms for city council members. Currently, council members are elected, or appointed by the city manager in emergencies, to four-year terms.
Long-serving incumbents
The majority of today's city council members and mayor have made decisions on Federal Way's behalf for roughly a decade. Council member Mike Park has served on the council continuously since 1995. His term expires December 2011. Jeanne Burbidge has held a seat since 1997. Her term expires in 2013. Jim Ferrell was elected in 2003; his term expires 2011. Jack Dovey got his start on the council in 1995, when he was appointed to the position. He was elected to the council in 1996, then appointed again in 2003, followed by another election to the council that same year. He has served continuously since 2003; his term expires in 2011. Mayor Linda Kochmar was elected in 1997, and has served since that time. Kochmar will resume a city council role when an elected mayor takes office, approximately two weeks after the general election results are certified. Her term expires in 2013.
The incumbents have discouraged new candidates and fresh ideas, Parke said.
"We haven't had change," he said.
A mayor's perspective
Kochmar doesn't see the council's long history as a bad thing. She said she does not support term limits for council members, who serve part time, but has not formed an opinion regarding term limits for an elected mayor, who will serve full time. Council members dedicate a lot of their time to serving the city. It takes considerable time to reach a point where they are recognized regionally by their peers and able to serve effectively, Kochmar said.
"I think you'd naturally term limit somebody by simply not electing them," she said.
Taking it to the voters
If Parke succeeds in gathering enough signatures, the measure will be placed on the Feb. 8 special election ballot. Each jurisdiction's cost for the election depends on the number of resolutions placed on the ballot, said Kim van Ekstrom, King County Elections spokeswoman. The Federal Way City Council will pass a resolution to place the measure on the ballot following King County's verification of the petition's signatures. The deadline to file resolutions is in late December, van Ekstrom said.
Parke said he didn't realize it would cost the city to position the item on a special ballot.
"This is not trying to bring any costs onto the people," he said.

Erick De Leon is a two-time Golden Gloves winner who has been called "the next Oscar De La Hoya." But up until this month, his biggest fight was outside the ring -- where he struggled to gain citizenship in time to represent the United States in the 2012 Olympics.
The 19-year-old Lincoln Park resident, who who launched his career at Southwest Boxing Gym before training under Kronk Gym legend Emanuel Steward, came to the United States from Mexico when he was six, and his parents failed to apply for citizenship at the time.
Olympic boxing trials begin in July, and De Leon finally won his citizenship fight earlier this month, taking his oath at the Theodore Levin courthouse in downtown Detroit
Feb. 14, WDET: As the ceremony ended… the overjoyed De Leon poured out of the court room with his family.De Leon is arguably the best boxer at his weight in the nation, as the New York Times pointed out in a lengthy profile back in October. "It's just the gold that I want," he told the newspaper. "I don't like losing."
"I feel really happy…it's great to finally get my citizenship so I can go represent the United States baby! Train hard win the Olympic trials so I can go to the Olympics in 2012!"

Globalisation is evident in this graphic put together by James Bristow, a global equities portfolio manager at BlackRock. It shows the correlation between the U.S. S&P stock index and counterparts in Europe, Australasia and the Far East.
Global Investing
Another fine excuse for selling stocks
There is no question that the losses on stock markets at the moment are primarily the result of the Greek crisis. A downgrade of a euro zone country's sovereign debt to junk is enough to make all but insane mainstream investors take a large step away from risk.
How do rich people get rich?
An upcoming book by Kaye Thomas explains in plain English the secret of succesful investing: Turning money into more money.
Eight days could point to a correction
Morgan Stanley has been crunching some numbers about Europe and come up with something that (not surprisingly) fits their scenario of a near-term stock correction but only within a longer-term cyclical bull market for equities. It all comes down to eight days in March, apparently.
Revisiting March lows
No, not in the way you think. Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of world stocks hitting what appears to be their post-financial crisis low. The index was the MSCI all-country world index. The low was hit on March 9, 2009.
Do southern Europeans know something?
Slightly strange data from Deutsche Börse. Its latest survey of what top European executives have been doing shows increasing signs of optimism. That is, management board and supervisory board members and their families have been buying shares in their own companies.
The art of being passive
Hundreds or even thousands of "active" fund managers are competing to add alpha to beat benchmark indexes, be it in stocks, bonds or alternatives.
from MacroScope:
Greek Contagion: One Hell of a Tail Risk
The crisis of confidence in Greece's fiscal health has dented U.S. equities, though not enough to compromise a budding American economic recovery. Even a significant slowdown in European growth prospects might have limited immediate impact on the United States. However, that benign backdrop could vanish, economists at Morgan Stanley say, if the Greek situation were to turn in to an outright credit crisis. They call it the "contagion tail risk":
No one flying to safety yet
Reuters asset allocation polls for January are out and — perhaps not surprisingly — show global investors cutting back a bit on stocks. That would be expected given that world stocks are heading for a negative month and the likes of emerging markets have had a few days battering.
It's the exit, stupid
Anyone wondering what ghoul is most haunting investors at the moment could see it clearly on Tuesday — it is the exit strategy from the past few years' central bank liquidity-fest.

1. Simon Heffer's article in today's Mail mentions that an opinion poll this week gave the Labour Party its biggest lead since 2007. This begs the question why are people's memories so short that they seem able to forget that the political party they now appear to favour were the cause of the hardship they are now suffering. It would seem to illustrate the fact that people vote in protest to whatever conditions they are experiencing at a given time without considering exactly what they would then be wishing on themselves. When it is remembered that there is little difference in the ideology of all three main parties, that then becomes a worrying thought.
Reasons for the public's apparent indifference to politics have been given: that they feel their vote makes no difference; that they are conditioned to accepting the status quo of two parties being the natural alternatives for government; that politicians do not speak in a language the average member of the public can understand; that politicians are self-centred, careerists who care not one jot for those they are supposed to represent but merely go through the motions of so doing; that politicians are not truthful, but just lie for their own ends – the list is almost endless.
When Harrogate finalizes their demands/suggestions for a new vision of democracy and political life in the UK it will not be sufficient, methinks, just to publish those demands/suggestions – a massive programme of explanation, almost re-education of the public, will be required.
2. The Mail also carries a story about the 6-month 'ordeal' of a 15-year-old schoolboy charged and brought to trial for throwing a snowball at a girl, mentioning in passing the case of March last year, in which Dean Smith, 31, of Swadlincote, Derbyshire, was handed a two-week curfew after he admitted assaulting a woman Police Community Support Officer by throwing a snowball.
What has our society and system of justice come to when what is basically children playing and in so doing getting a tad out of control results in a court case? So a PCSO got hit by a snowball – ye Gods, when I were a lad the local bobby used to join in snowball fights, especially when the object of the game was achieved which was to knock off his helmet! What happened to a stern ticking off by the police, followed later in the privacy of family life by a clip round the ear from a parent?
3. Once again in the Mail, John Bercow makes the news with the result of an FOI request showing that a replacement shower door cost over £1,000 and that also claimed on his expenses was his tv licence fee. It may well be that, bearing in mind where the shower is, that is the cost and it may be considered reasonable that Bercow could at least offer part of the cost out of his own pocket. What is considered unreasonable is the cost of his tv licence as surely that is something which is not an essential requirement in order that he may carry out his job to a satisfactory and acceptable standard.
Perhaps, as part of "Referism", the people should be the final arbitrators where MP's expenses are concerned – it is, after all, our money.
4. With the Mail providing the source for this post, another story in that newspaper informs us that George Osborne is proposing that ballots for strike action by trade unionists should only be recognized where a minimum of 40% of the membership actually voted.
Perhaps, in return, politicians and political parties would accept that they have no right to office and government unless each secure 40% turn out?
5. From the Daily Telegraph we hear that Louise Casey, the head of the Government's troubled families unit, says the state should "interfere" and tell women it is irresponsible to keep having children when they are already struggling to cope. And when such advice is ignored, what then? Should the proposed 'interference' continue until, as a last resort, both parents are forced to have 'the snip'?
Perhaps it is time to remind politicians that they too should be ashamed of the damage they are doing to society and to cease being politicians.
Just saying………

Objective: To develop a 30-day mortality risk index for noncardiac surgery that can be used to communicate risk information to patients and guide clinical management at the "point-of-care," and that can be used by surgeons and hospitals to internally audit their quality of care.
Background: Clinicians rely on the Revised Cardiac Risk Index to quantify the risk of cardiac complications in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Because mortality from noncardiac causes accounts for many perioperative deaths, there is also a need for a simple bedside risk index to predict 30-day all-cause mortality after noncardiac surgery.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 298,772 patients undergoing noncardiac surgery during 2005 to 2007 using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.
Results: The 9-point S-MPM (Surgical Mortality Probability Model) 30-day mortality risk index was derived empirically and includes three risk factors: ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status, emergency status, and surgery risk class. Patients with ASA physical status I, II, III, IV or V were assigned either 0, 2, 4, 5, or 6 points, respectively; intermediate- or high-risk procedures were assigned 1 or 2 points, respectively; and emergency procedures were assigned 1 point. Patients with risk scores less than 5 had a predicted risk of mortality less than 0.50%, whereas patients with a risk score of 5 to 6 had a risk of mortality between 1.5% and 4.0%. Patients with a risk score greater than 6 had risk of mortality more than 10%. S-MPM exhibited excellent discrimination (C statistic, 0.897) and acceptable calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic 13.0, P = 0.023) in the validation data set.
Conclusions: Thirty-day mortality after noncardiac surgery can be accurately predicted using a simple and accurate risk score based on information readily available at the bedside. This risk index may play a useful role in facilitating shared decision making, developing and implementing risk-reduction strategies, and guiding quality improvement efforts.

FAIRFIELD TWP. -- A 24-year-old man narrowly avoided a serious gunshot wound at a party in the township's Gouldtown section late Saturday night, according to state police.
The victim sustained only "a superficial graze wound" to his thigh, according to Sgt. Gary Catts, and did not require medical treatment.
Troopers dispatched to King Drive at 11:12 p.m. Saturday on a report of several hit-and-run accidents on the street heard three gunshots while handling the traffic-related call.
The gunfire came from a party at 4 King Dr., according to Catts, who is based at the state police barracks in Bridgeton.
Two men engaged in a fight outside the party. As other partygoers were breaking up the fight, one person brandished a handgun and fired the three shots toward an unidentified person, but missed with all three shots and instead grazed the unintended victim, struck an unoccupied car and possibly hit a door jamb to the King Drive home with the three bullets.
Troopers secured the area and were able to interview several witnesses. Investigators have developed a "strong" suspect in the shooting, Catts said, noting the shooter is facing aggravated assault and weapons charges.
It is not believed the gunfire is related to the initial hit-and-run investigation.

Husband-and-wife, filmmaking duo Yoav and Shira Potash decided to explore the challenges that many Portlanders face while producing their new documentary "Food Stamped," which screens on Monday, Feb. 20 at the Bagdad Theater.
"I was teaching low-income elementary school kids how to cook," explains Shira Potash, a Bay-area nutritionist. "I realized: 'How can they afford this?' Members of Congress were taking the 'food stamp challenge' and so Yoav and I decided to try it and see whether we could afford healthy meals on food stamps."

-- The Tigers announced prior to today's game that they have unconditionally released veteran shortstop Alex Gonzalez. The move cleared a spot for utility infielder Danny Worth, who had his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo.
-- Andrew Romine will make his third straight start at shortstop and second consecutive start against a left-handed starting pitcher. Danny Worth, who arrived to Comerica Park around 9:30 a.m. today, is available off the bench if needed.
-- For the third straight game, the Tigers will work with a shorthanded bench. Along with Worth, Don Kelly and Bryan Holaday are the only other available position players. The Tigers' bullpen is stocked with eight relievers.
-- Victor Martinez, who nearing 1,500 career hits, is riding a five-game hitting streak. He's batting .412 (7 for 17) with one home run and three RBIs during the stretch. He currently has 1,496 hits -- four shy of reaching the 1,500 mark.
-- With a double on Saturday, Cabrera enters today with 234 doubles in his Tigers career. He is two doubles shy of tying Rudy York for 14th place in franchise history. Cabrera will get another start as the team's designated hitter today and Martinez will play first.
Looking for some light reading between now and first pitch? Check out these stories from the past day or so on MLive.com:
-- Tigers release Alex Gonzalez, call up Danny Worth from Toledo
-- Brad Ausmus 'baffled' by baseball's catch-and-transfer rule
-- Analysis: Joba Chamberlain establishing himself as legitimate setup man
Point to ponder: Danny Worth is back. For how long? Who knows? One day at a time, that's what I say.
How would you like to see the Tigers use Worth? Should he be used in a straight-up platoon with Andrew Romine? Should he receive the majority of starts at shortstop?
What's your take? Let me know in the comments below.

Church Street Market
Church Street Market provides visitors with a lively and friendly street market experience.
Its central London location with great transport links and proximity to areas such as the West End, Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and St John's Wood make it a great place for shopping.
From the renowned Marylebone antiques district at the eastern end of Church Street through to the traditional fruit and veg and fish stalls close to Edgware Road, Church Street Market already has a varied offering for locals as well as those visitors from abroad.

Want a taste of real, diverse, working class London? Like a bargain? Then you can't go wrong with Church Street Market.

The sectional tournaments provided some thrilling action, but there was not a more thrilling section than South Jersey, Group 4. Only 20 pins separated first place Jackson and fourth place Shawnee.
All season long, Jackson has proved it can thrive in tournament situations, like that one Saturday and the Shore Conference Tournament on Wednesday, and with the most meaningful tournament of the season approaching Friday, you have to like Jackson's chances.
That's why the Ocean County is back in the No. 1 spot heading into the final week of the season.
Montville shot the highest score at a sectional tournament when it tossed a 3,294 to take the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 title at Jersey Lanes. The second-year program will look to top a tough Group 3 field Friday.
That Group 3 field includes No. 8 Franklin which is coming off two momentum-building performances. The Somerset County school beat No. 3 Immaculata to take the Skyland Conference Tournament title and then captured the Central Jersey, Group 3 title over No. 17 Woodbridge and No. 20 Sayreville.
It will be interesting to see where Bergen County rivals Indian Hills and Pascack Valley, ranked 14th and 16th, respectively, stack up at Carolier Lanes. Historically, the North Jersey schools have struggled, but these two teams might be able to rise to the occasion.
Pascack Valley did that Saturday at the North Jersey, Section 1A Tournament at Bowler City in Hackensack when it shot a 3,145 to out-duel Indian Hills by 103 pins.
Along with Pascack Valley, Central Regional and Kingsway are new to the Top 20. No. 15 Central Regional was the top team in the Baker-format Ocean County Team Challenge and then edged Manchester Township to take the crown in South Jersey, Group 2.
It will be another interesting battle between Shore Conference-Class B South rivals, Central Regional and Manchester Township, as they look to undue favorite Johnson in Group 2 Friday.
Kingsway captured its first state title in the program's eight-year history by winning the South Jersey, Group 3 crown. The Gloucester County school finished ahead of Cherry Hill West and No. 19 Brick to win.
No. 19 Brick took a hit in the poll this week after missing the cut for the Tournament of Champions and finished 10th in the Shore Conference Tournament.

How to set up SlingPlayer 2.0 on Linux!
Article created by member Matt M.
This article will get you started watching your Slingbox using Slingplayer 2.0 on your Linux box. We have added some scripts that will help you get started quickly and a video showing you the steps involved.
All feedback welcome but be sure to read the "Know issues" that we are looking into at this time.
You will first need to download and install Wine 1.3
1. Download WINE 1.3 beta from WineHQ ( http://www.winehq.org/download )
Ubuntu users can enter these commands in the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.3
2. Download and extract these script files.
This will give you 2 scripts:
sling2setup – the script to automatically download SlingPlayer, configure WINE, and install SlingPlayer
slingPlayerLinux – an optional script that AFTER EVERYTHING WORKS you can use to launch SlingPlayer without getting the mscorsvw.exe error and automatically disable Gnome power-management while you're watching TV so your computer won't go to screen saver/sleep in the middle of your show
3. Make sling2setup executable, and run it
a. Open a terminal and "cd" to the directory where you extracted sling2setup
b. Run the command "chmod +x sling2setup" to make it executable
c. Execute the script by running "./sling2setup" and follow the directions
4. If you aren't on your LAN, you MUST first set up SBProfile.xml. If you are on your home network, you can just open SlingPlayer and do this later.
To create/edit SBProfile.xml, you have two options:
b. You can copy a preconfigured SBProfile.xml from another working computer
a. You can download and run my tool to add your SlingBox to SBProfile.xml. It is available in our Downloads area here. http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/downloads-available-here/?did=391
The program uses Sun Java, if you need Java you can get it for free at http://www.java.com
This program was originally to be used on Windows, and auto-detect the path to SBProfile.xml on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 but I have updated the app to streamline use on Linux, specifically to make the installation go smoother (it will auto-detect the location of SBProfile.xml in the WINE folder like it does for Windows)
NOTE: The correct location for SBProfile.xml on Linux will be at
~/.wine.slingplayer2/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Sling Media/SlingPlayer/2.0/SBProfile.xml
You should NOT use the SBProfile.xml in the HPQP folder.
5. Now you need to open SlingPlayer from the original WINE shortcut at least once to ensure it works.
*Click "Close" on the mscorsvw.exe error
*Click "No" on any script errors (Internet Explorer / Sling Accounts)
6. If it works correctly, you can now use my SlingPlayerLinux script (optional)
Make the script it executable (like we did in step 3) and make a shortcut for your desktop/menu
That's it you are all set to go.
Special Features:
*Doesn't let mscorsvw.exe run (so it won't generate an error)
*Auto-disables Gnome Screensaver & power-saver
*Re-enables Gnome Screensaver & power-saver after you close SlingPlayer
Known Issues:
-Sling Account does not work (and any associated features)
-TV Guide does not work (depends on Sling Account)
-Setup/Firmware Update might not work (didn't try, I'm afraid I'll break something)
References: WineHQ and all the old comments by other people trying to make this work
Here is a complete video on the setup. You will notice the audio is not in sycn with the Slingplayer video. That is due to my video copying software and not the program itself. The Slingplayer audio and video are completely in sync.
Special thanks to Matt M. for this helpful article. If you would like to contribute an article yourself to be posted on here you can contact us using the tab above.

Prefecture Apostolic in Brazil, bounded on the south by a line running westwards from the confluence of the Rio Negro and Rio Branco along the watershed of the Rio Negro to Colombia, separating the new prefecture from those of Teffé and Upper Solimões, and the See of Amazones (from which it was separated by a Decree of the Sacred Congregation of the Consistory, 19 Oct., 1910), on the west by Colombia, on the north by Colombia and Venezuela, on the east by the territory of Rio Branco. The white population is small, and confined to the few villages along the banks of the Rio Negro. As early as 1658 a Jesuit Father, Francisco Gonsales, established a mission among the natives of the Upper Rio Negro, and traces of the work of the Jesuit missionaries still exist in the scattered villages. Two years later a Carmelite, Father Theodosius, evangelized the Tucumaos. The Franciscans labored among the Indians from 1870 and had seven stations on the Rio Uaupés (Tariana Indians), four on the Rio Tikié (Toccana Indians), and one on the Rio Papuri (Macu Indians), but on the fall of the empire most of the missions were abandoned, though some of them were re-established later.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Critics praised her performance as "Hushpuppy," a 6-year-old girl who is forced to save herself and her ailing father as their bayou community is being washed away by a flood.
Early buzz for Wallis has some critics thinking she may be become the youngest Oscar nominee when the announcement is made on Jan. 15. Wallis, who was 5 when she portrayed Hushpuppy, is now 9.
The film was shown at the Sundance Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and the Los Angeles Film Festival, among others.
The Western Film Society will show "Beasts of the Southern Wild" this weekend at the Little Theatre on the corner of Oakland Drive and Oliver Street.
MLive.com review John Serba gave it 2.5 out of 4 stars, saying, "Wallis' performance is key to the film's effectiveness – it's highly unusual for a child actor to be so natural in front of a camera, and the chemistry between her and Henry is the movie's strongest element."

"We will focus on our strengths to build excellence," he said.
University of Alabama System trustees unanimously approved Watts, a Birmingham native who served previously as dean of UAB's School of Medicine.
Trustee John McMahon Jr., who chaired the search committee, said they identified four candidates who would have made "excellent presidents," but Watts was the obvious choice.
"I have never seen an institution come together with the unanimous support and enthusiasm for a candidate like they have in this case," he said.
McMahon also said Watts' familiarity with the institution was a factor. A 1976 UAB graduate, Watts returned to the school in 2003 as chair of the Department of Neurology.
"If you have an internal candidate who is highly qualified, that's obviously a less risky decision than hiring someone based outside the institution, so it was an easy decision," McMahon said.
Upon accepting the position, Watts said a new five-year fundraising campaign would launch in October and that he would begin work within weeks on a comprehensive strategic plan for the school.
"Different parts of the university have or are putting together strategic plans, but I think it's very important to unify our plans together so that we can draw on our strengths and support one another around our true areas of excellence," he said.
Watts also addressed the school's spending policies in the current economic climate, saying that beyond the school's student center, freshman housing and potential research facility projects, capital investments in the near term "will primarily be in people, programs and technology."
"They will have to be mission critical to support our top priorities and be will planned financially," he said.
That casts doubt on the future of a proposed on-campus football stadium, which Watts declined to take a hard stance on during a post-meeting press conference.
Watts also vowed to "work with all our campuses so that the UA System is one of the greatest public university systems in America and beyond."
"We are already there. We will continue to build and work together," he said.
Watts' presidential salary has not yet been established. McMahon said UA System Chancellor Robert Witt will recommend a salary to the board's compensation committee, which will have final say.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell, who attended the trustee meeting, said he was "more than pleased" with the board's selection, particularly because of UAB's economic impact and its role in preparing future leaders.
"UAB is not only the economic engine for the city of Birmingham, it's really the economic engine for the state of Alabama," he said.
The selection also earned accolades from the Birmingham Business Alliance, which has formed several partnerships with UAB.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Ray Watts serving as president of UAB, the Birmingham region's largest employer and a major economic engine," BBA Executive Director Brian Hilson said. "We have worked closely with Dr. Watts on our Commercialization Advisory Committee and know he is committed to moving our community forward through the innovation coming out of UAB."
Updated at 6:17 p.m. Feb. 8, 2012 to add comment from Brian Hilson.

Governor tours disaster sites
Give them credit
I am talking mayors, in particular New York City's Bill DeBlasio and previously Mike Bloomberg and Gabe Campana of Williamsport.
Every year, for years, I have taken bus trips to "The Big Apple", i.e. New York City. Always on these (previous) trips, I observed hobos, panhandlers, street vendors sticking their scarves and ear muffs in your face as you peacefully walked by. Also, we walked through scaffolding, street projects, and illegal aliens standing on boxes, screaming their ideology at you. Not to mention the animal rights (kooks) openly snearing at folks wearing beautiful fur coats. All these events happened on many street corners from the theater district through Times Square and many other places. This was very disturbing to the joyous holiday visitors.
This year, you saw none of it. The whole place was cleaned up. The innocuous atmosphere was joyous and thus good for visitors and the merchants. The sitting and previous mayors deserve credit, the buck stops with them.
In Williamsport, many things are happening, some we see and some we don't. When we see events that are positive and we are "happy," let's be mindful to give Gabe Campana some credit. I think he is concerned and works hard.

SALEM — The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded the Salem County Cultural & Heritage Commission a Challenge America Fast-Track Grant of $10,000 to develop an exhibition and podcast focusing on the county's Underground Railroad history.
"This award is one of only six projects funded through this program in New Jersey and the only one to a South Jersey agency," said Freeholder Beth Timberman. "We are very proud to receive this kind of national recognition for our program."
"Seven Steps to Freedom" is a multimedia project developed in partnership with New Jersey Network that will interpret the stories of African Americans and the Underground Railroad in Salem County.
The program consists of several components: A storytelling cell phone audiotour, a dedicated website featuring video podcasts and curriculum materials, and a photographic exhibition created expressly for the project that will be installed at the Salem County Visitors Center and also available online.
"I have been involved in this project since its inception last year," said Freeholder Deputy Director David Lindenmuth. "It has been exciting to see how it has developed and gained support. This is the third grant the project has received."
The Challenge America Grant program supports projects and programs that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations and that have potential to promote community development.
"Seven Steps to Freedom" is intended to increase recognition and understanding of Salem County's contributions to the achievement of freedom for all Americans by hearing stories in the places where history was made.
Nationally-renowned photographer Wendel White will create a series of photographic artworks designed to capture and augment understanding for this history and place.
The recipient of several distinguished fellowships and awards and professor of art, Stockton State College, White created the "Small Towns, Black Lives" project focusing on historic Black communities of southern New Jersey, and "Schools for the Colored," a photographic survey of segregated education through architecture and landscape across America.
The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government dedicated to supporting artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities throughout the United States.
The 2011 Challenge America Fast Track Grant Program was highly competitive, supporting 170 projects in 42 states and the District of Columbia.
"Seven Steps to Freedom" is targeted to launch in July 2011, coinciding with the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War.

Hitch facts
Some facts about Hitchcock and his movies...
There are several references to birds in this film: Marion's surname is Crane, the movie is set in Phoenix, there are stuffed birds in Norman Bates' parlour and pictures of them throughout the hotel. Norman himself makes references to birds, telling Marion she eats like one. Hitchcock was fascinated with birds, and made a horror movie (The Birds) centred around them in 1963.
Chocolate syrup was used for the blood in the famous shower scene. The scene, which was shot from over 70 camera angles and has 90 splices in it, took seven days to film, but lasts for only about 45 seconds in the movie. Interestingly, Anthony Perkins was not present at all - he was then in New York preparing for a play.
Psycho was Hitchcock's last Oscar nomination for Best Director. He was nominated four times previously - for Rebecca (1940), Lifeboat (1944), Spellbound (1945) and Rear Window (1954) - but never won.
Walt Disney refused to allow Hitchcock to film at Disneyland in the early 1960s because he had made "that disgusting movie, Psycho". Some of the horror movies Hitchcock declined to direct, which went on to become famous later, were Wait Until Dark, Rosemary's Babyand The Exorcist.

Leaves of Absence
Taking a Leave of Absence
Leaves of absence can be granted for personal or medical reasons. You must file a "Leave of Absence/Withdrawal" form with the Graduate School Office in Caldwell Hall. A leave of absence can run for up to 12 months and may be renewed up to three times. After four years, you must reapply for admission to the Graduate School.
Access to Campus, Housing, and Financial Aid
If you take a personal leave, you lose access to campus facilities and personnel, and there is no guarantee your financial aid will be continued. In most cases, this means students may no longer have access to labs, libraries, and online resources that require a NetID. Students on medical leave also cannot remain in student housing.
International Student Considerations
If you are not an American citizen and hold a nonimmigrant visa, you must talk to a representative in the International Students and Scholars Office. Before leaving Cornell, international students should contact the Graduate Student Services Office and the International Students and Scholars Office for information on maintaining visa eligibility for reentry. For U.S. citizens with educational loans, the repayment grace period starts the date the loans become active.
