If there's one thing Millennials like more than anything, it's looking back fondly on shared childhood experiences. Among the vast ocean of '90s nostalgia, one experience looms large and bobs boldly above the rest -- a little film called "Space Jam."
It's been 18 years since the live action/animation classic first hit theaters, starring the ever-charming duo of Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan. This week, the movie is coming back to the big screen at the Clinton Street Theater, which is hosting daily screenings through Sunday.
The screening is a part of a trend that brings classic films back to theaters, taking advantage of Portland's robust movie-going scene. Last month Laurelhurst Theater sold out showings of Stanley Kubrick classics "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange." From "Groundhog Day" to "The Princess Bride" and now "Space Jam," local theaters are finding weekday and matinee audiences for movies people can more easily find on Netflix and iTunes.
Seeing old movies projected on the big screen is a unique experience that harkens back to adolescence screenings – just replace the candy and soda with pizza and beer – with the actual movie-going experience made ever-appealing as people ditch home theater systems for laptops and headphones.
Clinton Street Theater is known already known for its regular and longstanding exhibition of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and adding "Space Jam" isn't necessarily out of the ordinary, but why bring it back now? On their website they claim March Madness as the reason, but it could just as easily be the recent hype surrounding the "Space Jam" sequel (maybe starring LeBron James), or simply that some intrepid employee blurted, "why not Space Jam?" at a theater meeting.
Regardless of the intent, it's a move that's sure to draw Millennial glee. As a member of that unfortunately-named generation, I have to admit that I gasped with delight at the news. The chance to go to a theater, drink a beer, and watch the Looney Tunes team up with Michael Jordan to play basketball against a team of aliens who magically stole talent from several prominent NBA players is a dream come true.
Clinton Street Theater isn't giving up on our dreams and neither should we. Michael Jordan didn't give up on his dream of playing basketball, and he went on to win six NBA championships, two Olympic gold medals AND he made "Space Jam." As a wise man once asked: "What would be your 'Space Jam'? What would you create that would make the world awesome?"

BAY CITY, MI — June 12 was the start of a waiting game to see if the schooner Hindu would make it's scheduled appearance at Bay City's 2013 Tall Ship Celebration.
Organizers say it now appears the waiting game is over.
"We are not expecting them in Bay City, at this point," said Shirley Roberts, event coordinator for the celebration.
The crew of the Hindu caught a snag in its summer plans when in mid June the ship was forced to stop its travels in the Erie Canal, due to flooding that closed the canal's lock system.
Captain Josh Rowan held out hope for their trip to Bay City, even after the days and weeks passed with the lock system closed, leading to the Hindu missing its first three stops on the 2013 tall ships circuit.
When rain continued and it appeared that the lock system would not reopen, Rowan said he looked into other modes of transportation to get the vessel to Bay City's Tall Ship Celebration, which runs July 11-14.
The attempts did not pan out in time, according to Roberts.
Rowan said the crew is still planning to sail to Bay City, even if they do miss out on the festival, because of friends that have been looking forward to their Saginaw River visit.
Once Roberts came to the realization that one of the 12 ships slated to take part in this year's festival wasn't going to make it to Bay City, she had to come up with a plan.
While most of the ships involved in the event will remain stationary in the Saginaw River as festival-goers board the ships for tours and other festivities, the Hindu was one of two ships taking reservations for a number of day-sail excursions.
Three of Hindu's eight scheduled sail-away trips were sold out, according to the reservation website.
"We have accommodated as many as possible on the Appledore IV," Roberts said of the passengers scheduled to sail on the Hindu.Appledore IV also is scheduled to offer sail-away excursions during the Tall Ship Celebration.
After filling the remaining spots on the Appledore IV, there were five passengers left without accommodations, Roberts explained.
"We contacted another ship — the Denis Sullivan — that has agreed to take on those five passengers for us," she said.
"Everyone who purchased a ticket for a sail away will have the experience they were expecting, albeit on a slightly different ship," Roberts said.
There also is an opportunity for those still hoping to purchase a sail-away ticket.
Roberts recommends that anyone hoping to purchase a ticket visit baysailbaycity.org to schedule their trip.
It is a positive outcome after an unforeseen hiccup in the planning of the
"You don't expect this sort of thing to happen and in some cases it's almost impossible to recover from this sort of situation," she said. "However, we're very fortunate that we still had seats on Appledore IV, as well as another vessel willing to step in and help us out."
After scheduling several Tall Ship Celebrations in Bay City, Roberts said organizers have become aware that issues can pop up.
"They're sailing vessels and nothing is a certainty. You try to schedule as much as you can but, in the end, you have to remain somewhat flexible. That's what we've come to understand after our many years of working with tall ships."

John - Seems like the LES along the Minnesota North Shore is very difficult to predict. Why is this?
Two reasons I believe. 1) The models seem to struggle with this scenario, not sure why, but they just do not pick up on this. Perhaps because it is a relatively narrow area that gets hit and primarily due to elevation. 2) From the human side, just like anything else in life, the more we see it or experience it, the better we get at it (usually!). Since this is such a rare event (happening once or twice a year on average), we do not get as much of a chance to try and hone our forecasting skills with it. -John

My hardiness zone is 10 and the slope has full sun, let me know if that makes it harder for dwarf mono grass to grow. I also can't mow the slope and isn't dwarf mono grass expensive? Thanks for your response

Manchester grills developers
A crowd of more than 100 people gathered in the Manchester Library parking lot on Tuesday evening to hear private land planner Bill Palmer and developer David Hopkins discuss their plans to bring new commercial space and upscale condominiums to downtown Manchester.
Equipped with free bottles of water for meeting attendees and a volunteer parking attendant to help guide the parking away from the meeting setup, Manchester Community Council (MCC) President Bob Ballard introduced David Hopkins, an unexpected guest speaker.
Hopkins, of Hoppet Design and Construction, Inc., announced his plan to purchase the Past and Presents building, as well as the Manchester Food Center along with Mamma Java and Go Figure. Hopkins provided a conceptual drawing of his building plan, which includes tearing down the existing buildings.
My concept is Nantucket-Marthas Vineyard-Marine, Hopkins said, including shingles, white trim, gables, trellises, arbors and flower boxes.
Hopkins said he plans to keep the signage on the building to a minimum and to place overhead utility wires in the ground.
Hopkins said the new structure will contain several 5,700 to 7,000 square feet commercial spaces on the ground floor, six condos on the second floor and two on the third. He said he is well aware of the 35-foot height restriction in Manchester.
The eight condos will be between 1,200 and 2,600 square feet, Hopkins said, and sell for approximately $475,000.
Gated, covered parking will be provided for residents while retail parking will remain exactly the same.
Hopkins said he already has a potential tenant interested in opening another grocery store in the new building. He has yet to approach the current tenants regarding their leases.
We dont want to approach them until we have definite ownership, Hopkins said, also citing their lack of concrete timelines.
This is a building project with such a high level of quality that it will last a long time, Hopkins said.
According to Hopkins, his goal as a designer is to provide a quality structure that fits the character of Manchester.
Private land planner Bill Palmer spoke on behalf of John Clark, who is in the process of purchasing the gas station site along with the vacated barber shop on Colchester.
Palmer, who lived in Manchester for years, said his client envisions 10,225 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, six condos on the second and six on the third. He said the condos would sell for approximately $350,000.
The project includes 34 underground parking spaces and 19 outside the building.
The design theme is not quite the same as (Hopkins), Palmer said, but there are some similarities, including gables and arches.
Between the two projects, this is a proposal thats going to change the character of Manchester, Palmer said.
According to Palmer taverns and gas stations can not be tenants of these two projects, but other retailers are free to lease space once they are completed.
Palmer expects completion of both projects before next fall.
Manchester residents voiced concerns about an increase in traffic and the fact that the two projects didnt match in terms of their exterior look.
However, some residents agreed there needs to be some revitalization of downtown.
Manchester needs to be updated, and youre doing the right thing, said one resident.
The Site Plan Review Process being used by Kitsap County to review the projects applications is purely administrative, which means there will be no public hearing on development plans. Environmental and traffic studies are required for the projects.
Hopkins reiterated after the meeting that hes hoping to build something Manchester can be proud of and is, in fact, thinking of buying one of his condos and moving to the community.
The developers will meet again with the county on Aug. 16, the next step in their pre-application process.
The MCC reported that as of Tuesday, it has 52 active members, paying yearly dues of $20.
The council has increased its membership 35 percent since March.

MUSKEGON, MI -- Does the public's right to examine public documents include its right to know the cost to do so beforehand?
The Education Action Group says "yes," after filing a Freedom of Information Act request for records from Muskegon Public Schools and receiving a $311.50 bill that is now 90 days past due.
"We're not going to pay the bill," said Kyle Olson, leader of the EAG, an education reform group that is frequently critical of public school unions.
Muskegon Public Schools Superintendent Jon Felske's response is "all FOIA's aren't free."
"The district is $4.5 million in deficit. I'm not going to give away a $300 document for free, so I'm going to charge $300," Felske said. "They tell me to operate as a business."
The EAG, which is based in Muskegon, sent FOIA requests to 25 school districts around the nation, including the Grand Rapids and Flint school districts, Olson said. The request sought credit card statements, check registries, cell phone bills and superintendent expenses for the 2011 calendar year, he said.
Muskegon Public Schools received the FOIA letter from FOIA, copied 1,246 pages of documents covered by the request and billed EAG 25 cents per page for labor and copying costs.
"What we would prefer to see is they would say 'We estimate it's going to be $311, do you want us to proceed,'" Olson said. "The short answer would be 'no,' because that's outside our budget."
The EAG depends on the Freedom of Information Act to get a lot of the information it disseminates through regular newsletters, online blogs, regular appearances on Fox News and other means. Because of that, Felske said, EAG officials should have known they were opening themselves up to a bill.
Michigan law allows public agencies to charge fees reflecting mailing costs, costs of duplication, and the cost of labor needed to search and review the records for any information exempt from the FOIA law.
"(EAG officials) FOIA people all the time. When you spend your whole life FOIA'ing, you know what the cost is," Felske said. "Shame on (Olson) for saying 'Oh, there's a cost?'"
There was a way around the controversy. The National Freedom of Information Coalition suggests that FOIA requests include a line stating how much the requester is willing to pay, and asking for advanced notice if the fee would go above that.
Olson said the letter sent to Muskegon Public Schools did not ask for that advanced notice, adding that districts routinely take it upon themselves to warn EAG in advance of FOIA costs.
"We've never encountered a district that said 'We've done the work, here's the bill,'" Olson said.
Among the 25 districts that responded to the EAG's request for information, one much larger than Muskegon billed EAG for an amount in the $200-plus range, Olson said. He didn't know how much Grand Rapids Public Schools charged, but said Flint schools charged $57.95.
Olson said government agencies can use the fees to "hide" from the FOIA law.
But Felske said the district needs to be a good steward of taxpayer money.
"We're following all the rules and regulations, and they don' like it, so suddenly they think we're wrong," he said.
Meanwhile, there's an unclaimed stack of papers at Muskegon Public Schools administrative offices. And an unpaid bill for $311.50.

COMMERCIAL TWP. — A demolition hearing was held for one dilapidated property at Laurel Lake and permission was received by Construction Official David Dean to demolish another on which the township has foreclosed.
Dean showed photographs of a property on Daffodil Road where the roof is caving in, the outside walls are buckling and there are several derelict vehicles in the yard.
The second property, township-owned, is a burned out mobile home on Dandelion Road. Photographs of that site showed part of the home burned away and the ground surrounding it strewn with furniture and other former contents.
The township's efforts have been directed at getting abandoned or neglected properties at the lake either cleaned up or demolished.
Sgt. Gerald Kuhar, commander at the New Jersey State Police station, in Haleyville, reported at the township committee's Thursday meeting that on June 18 a "Quality of Life" program was held and 10 arrests were made, five for drugs.
"There will be another at the end of July and two bike patrols on July 17," he said. "I believe we're making a major dent in the drug trade at Laurel Lake. Vandalism still is a problem. Keep your windows and doors locked."
Asked by one resident about a neighborhood watch, Kuhar said there is one at Laurel Lake and police attend monthly meetings.
"They are our eyes and ears. They are the heart of law enforcement," he said.
First readings were held on the 2010 salary ordinance and an ordinance determining positions eligible for the defined contribution retirement program, with pubic hearings to be held on Aug. 19.
Several resolutions also were adopted, including approval for:
* A raffle license for Ducks Unlimited for Sept. 11 at the Mauricetown fire hall.
* The Competition Dirt Riders annual motorcycle parade on Aug. 29.
* A raffle application for the Mauricetown Historical Society for Sept. 26.
* A tax map update by Remington, Vernick and Walberg for the second half of 2010.
* An extension of Unimin Corp's mining license to Dec. 31, 2012.
* Awarding a contract to Asphalt Paving Systems, of Hammonton, for reconstruction of Osborne Drive, Tyson Terrace and Cologne Drive in the amount of $138,593.55.

The best-known-candidate in Alabama has a strange name.
A recent poll by a Montgomery political consulting firm shows most Alabama voters remain undecided in the contested statewide races. The exception to that is the governor's race, where incumbent Robert Bentley holds a commanding lead over two challengers.
Things get less clear on down-ticket races with most people saying they are undecided. That yet-to-make-up-their-mind number is as high as 70 percent in some cases.
Bentley staying quiet on debate challenge from Parker Griffith
Polls show Bentley way ahead in the primary and that may be why he's staying mum on a challenge from his primary opponent, Democrat Parker Griffith, to debate Medicaid expansion in Alabama.
Bentley – a retired physician – said through a spokesperson his position on expanding Medicare hasn't change and the state will not "expand a broken system." Griffith - who is also a retired physician – said the state is losing out by not expanding the program under the Affordable Care Act.
For now, Bentley said his attention is on the June 2 primary and challenger Stacy George, a prison guard and former Morgan County Commissioner.
You can read more about it here.
You can see some other efforts to expand the program here.
That's just one of the stories making news today. Here's some more from the Alabama political scene:
Today's the deadline for voter registration
If you're planning on voting in the June 3 primary and still need to register, you'd better do it quickly.
Today's the deadline to register to vote in primary
Friday will be the last day to register to vote in the June 3 primary. To register, you must be a U.S. citizen, reside in Alabama, and be at least 18 years old on or before election day. You can print a voter registration form from the Alabama Secretary of State's office at www.alabamavotes.gov.

The race to replace Rep. Spencer Bachus has been one of the wildest in a while. While most of the candidates have spent their time bashing each other, State Sen. Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, is aiming even higher.
Beason's latest video calls President Barack Obama "wimpy," and says the White House is afraid of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The ad also takes on Common Core, immigration policy and Obamacare.

Every February, according to Eric's story, Oregon State University lets the public come see the new lambs at the school's Sheep Center. "About 50 Suffolk ewes are expected to give birth to about 75 lambs in the barn, 7565 N.W. Oak Creek Drive, Corvallis."
Thousands visitors stop by the center, according to center manager Tom Nichols.
Lambing visits run from Feb. 15 through March 3; you can see the ewes and lambs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays and weekends. (The barn will be closed Feb. 18 and 19 for university classes).

The West Texas A&M men's basketball team has that home thing down, owning an 8-0 record.
Today, the Buffs hope to improve on that road thing.
WT continues Lone Star Conference South Division play at 4 p.m. today by visiting Abilene Christian, the first of four road opponents in its next five games.
The Game: West Texas A&M Buffs (10-6, 1-0 Lone Star Conference South) at Abilene Christian Wildcats (7-9, 0-1), 4 p.m. today, Moody Coliseum.
Radio: KGNC 710-AM, 3:55 p.m.
The Buffs are 2-4 away from their home court, having lost the past four road games.
WT, despite a sluggish opening 10 minutes, will ride momentum into today after opening South play Wednesday by handing Texas A&M-Kingsville a 65-57 loss in the First United Bank Center.
Buff senior guard Nick Burns, who led the way by scoring 20 points, said the win improved his teammates' confidence, but they know life is different in a conference road game.
"Of course, we can build on the win over Kingsville," Burns said. "At this point, we have no choice but to (increase our intensity). We are going on the road."
WT junior starting forward Jacquiese Holcombe, a transfer playing his first LSC road game, had a hand in Wednesday's win with seven points and seven rebounds.
He said the Buffs must shift to a higher gear today.
"We know we definitely have to improve with this road trip coming up," Holcombe said.
ACU (7-9 overall) dropped its South opener, 78-65, to Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday. However, six of the Wildcats' wins have come at home.
The Buffs will have to contend with 6-foot-3 junior transfer Eddie Thompson, who leads the Wildcats in scoring at 13.3 points per game. He has reached 20 points twice in the past four games.
WT is led in scoring by Burns and junior transfer Joe Mincey, also a guard, at 13.1 each an outing. Mincey has the ability to drive and get to the foul line, making 84-of-106 attempts. Burns is second in free-throw attempts (67).
Burns is an outside threat, leading the Buffs in 3-pointers with 35.
Burns and Holcombe said although WT has struggled on the road, it's not from a lack of effort or team chemistry.
"We are a family," Holcombe said. "We help each other through everything. Like Nick, as one of our senior leaders, he brings us together, and that's something we appreciate. Same thing with Chris Tucker."
Burns echoes Holcombe's appreciation of the one-for-all concept.
"Everyone is about the team," Burns said. "There isn't a person out here who is all about scoring. If Jock (Holcombe) is on, we are going to get him the ball. If Bijan (Dotson) is on, we are going inside to him. That's what's great about this team."

It seems like Columbia gravitates closer to its fictional "Gossip Girl" counterpart every day.
Spotted: the new Twitter handle @columbiamakeout is here for you to submit your best drunken iPhone pictures of random people and people you want to blackmail making out, and then for everyone else to pull up Facebook in order to frantically cross-reference the blurry faces to make sure that none of their CU Admirers are hooking up with someone else.
Honestly, it's a little refreshing (but also a tad bit creepy) to see people in actual physical contact with each other after reading hundreds of unrequited, albeit occasionally very sweet, love/lust notes on CU Admirers, Compliments, Fantasies and whatnot.
So, did your last encounter at 1020 make it onto Columbia Makeout?
My ass is always in public. Does that mean I should be fine with random strangers photographing my ass and putting them up on Twitter? It's within their right, but that doesn't eliminate the creepy and unnecessary aspect of it. Besides, how immature and sex-starved are we that we actually consider strangers making out in bars (OH THE HORROR) something worth gawping at online?

The Ponchartrain Hotel's Turkey Hash
Makes 4 servings
3/4 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced cooked turkey
2 cups diced boiled potatoes
l/2 cup turkey broth or chicken bouillon
l/2 teaspoon salt
l/8 teaspoon pepper
Saute onion and green pepper in butter. Add turkey, potatoes and broth. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until healted thoroughly.

On the day that the Grand Rapids Griffins' potential first-round playoff schedules against the Hamilton Bulldogs were released, the Griffins bounced back from two straight defeats by shutting out the Rochester Americans 3-0. The Griffins' website provides a detailed recap:
April 5, Griffinshockey.com: Jimmy Howard stopped all 21 shots he faced and Brian Lashoff notched two assists as the Grand Rapids Griffins shut out the Rochester Americans 3-0 at the Blue Cross Arena on Sunday. The shutout was Howard's fourth of the season, while Lashoff has now recorded a point in all four games he has played with the Griffins since coming out of the Ontario Hockey League on March 29.
The win moved the Griffins (43-23-6-6) past idle Hamilton into sole possession of second place in the North Division with two games remaining in the season. Grand Rapids dominated Rochester (27-42-0-8) in the six-game series, going 5-0-0-1 and earning 11 out of a possible 12 points. David Shantz got the start for the Americans and made 32 saves.
Neither team found the back of the net until just after the halfway point of the contest, when Darren McCarty scored his fifth goal with the Griffins to break the scoreless tie 10:15 into the second period. Tom Galvin took a heavy shot from the point that was deflected and dropped in front of the crease. Justin Abdelkader and several Amerks poked at the puck before McCarty took control and backhanded it into the net for a 1-0 Grand Rapids lead.
Darren Haydar scored a power-play goal 2:55 later to make it a two-goal game. Lashoff and Garrett Stafford worked the puck around the point to Haydar in the right circle and he snapped a shot over Shantz's shoulder for his 31st of the season. Stafford was in his first game back with the Griffins after a stint with the Dallas Stars, while Lashoff's point streak is now at four games (1-4-5).
Francis Pare capped off the scoring with his 23rd of the season with 2:08 left in the game, tying Abdelkader for the Griffins franchise record for goals by a rookie. Lashoff launched a shot from the point that Shantz kicked toward Pare on the right side. Shantz made another save on Pare, but Jan Mursak dug the puck out and dropped it to Pare in the slot and the rookie roofed his second opportunity to make it 3-0.
For the out-of-the-playoff Amerks, the loss simply symbolized a difficult season, as the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle's Kevin Oklobzija noted:
April 6, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: "The team's really come together, especially the second half," rookie center Shawn Matthias said after Sunday night's 3-0 loss to the Grand Rapids Griffins. "On a hockey note, it's been upsetting so you want to have three strong games going into the summer. We have three games left to play together as a team and win together."
There is strong togetherness on the team, too, players say. With a 27-42-0-8 record, second-worst in the 29-team AHL, inspiration doesn't come easy. They still would like to keep playing beyond Saturday's finale at Syracuse, though.
"It's kind of disheartening, knowing there's only five or six days left with these guys," winger Karl Stewart said. "We wish the playoffs were around the corner, but everyone still might have their own individual reasons to play. We just have to try to win hockey games. Guys are playing for contracts, to be black aces (practice extras) if Florida makes the playoffs (in the NHL)."
The Amerks' opponent on Sunday, Grand Rapids, is playoff-bound. The Griffins (43-23-6-6) are second by two points in the North Division and trying to earn home ice for their first-round playoff series against Hamilton. That's perhaps why, after a scoreless first period, the Griffins were able to ratchet up the intensity in the second period. They outshot the Amerks 19-5 in the middle period and scored twice.
"I don't know what happened, but I didn't think we were that bad in the period," Stewart said.
Coach Benoit Groulx offered no explanation, either. He didn't even offer his presence, declining to speak to the media afterward.
Oklobzija added this note in his blog:
April 5, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: Coach Benoit Groulx didn't bother making himself available to the media. Again. For like the fifth or sixth time at home. And this time he didn't send out assistant Jason Cipolla, either.
I will say this, however: He's an equal-opportunity no-show. Sometimes it's after wins, sometimes it's after losses. And when he was quite ill back at mid-season, we all were grateful he didn't want to share his germs. His absence was understandable. An excused absence is how the principal would note it.
On some nights, what Ben says doesn't always make the printed story in "direct quote form." But there are questions to be asked and information to gather, because fans want answers. That's the whole purpose of this media/player/coach chatting thing afterward, so fans -- the people who buy tickets -- can be informed.
Believe me, I totally understand Groulx's frustration. But just as the players have a myriad of responsibilities, so do coaches. One of those responsibilities is to brief the media. That's why the NHL fines coaches (and quite heavily) if they blow off a post-game meeting with the media.
If anything, Oklobzija noted that Darren McCarty provided some star power for tryout defenceman Drew Paris:
April 6, Democrat and Chronicle: Never drafted, Paris is with the Amerks on a tryout. While the jump from major junior to the American Hockey League can be intimidating, Paris was truly in awe on Sunday playing against long-time NHL tough-guy Darren McCarty.
McCarty scored the first goal in the Griffins' 3-0 victory at Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.
"I was like, 'Wow, is he really playing,'" Paris said. "I was out one time against him. He knows what he's doing and I'm trying to pretend I know what I'm doing."
On that one time they shared the ice, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Paris didn't try to run McCarty through the boards.
"I'm smarter than that," Paris said with a smile.
The Amerks' website provides an alternate recap, and the Grand Rapids Press outlined the Griffins' task at hand as they head home to play the Bulldogs on Saturday and finish up the regular season with a road game against Peoria:
April 6, Grand Rapids Press: With only two games left in the American Hockey League regular season, the Grand Rapids Griffins no longer can catch the Manitoba Moose for the top spot in the North Division.
Their focus turns to holding on to second place, and the Griffins took one step toward securing that spot Sunday.
Grand Rapids shut out the Rochester Americans 3-0 in front of 4,318 fans at Blue Cross Arena. The victory left the Griffins (43-23-6-6) six points behind the Moose in the standings, 104 to 98.
Hamilton is in third with 96 points, and the Griffins can clinch the second-place spot in their final regular-season home game by beating the Bulldogs on Friday. The game will feature an appearance by the Stanley Cup.
Grand Rapids and Hamilton will meet in the first round of the playoffs, but the Griffins can clinch home-ice advantage with the win.

While the Detroit Tigers are not expected to make a major move by Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline (now just over 30-hours away), that does not mean the team does not continue to explore a number of potential additions. According to the New York Times, the team has scouted their former closer, Kyle Farnsworth, extensively in recent weeks.
July 30, New York Times: Farnsworth, who has a 4.57 earned run average, may not be around much longer. The nonwaiver trading deadline is 4 p.m. Tuesday, and the Detroit Tigers have had a scout following the Yankees in two of their last three series.And relief pitching may not be all the Tigers are looking at. The Detroit Free Press reported that a backup shortstop could also be in the Tigers sights.
Farnsworth pitched well for the Tigers two years ago, and they have at least some interest in him now, although a deal seemed doubtful as of Friday. With Chamberlain presumably coming up soon and the Yankees still hoping to pry a reliever from a noncontender -- Eric Gagne of the Texas Rangers is the best available -- there is less need for Farnsworth.
"I've been around long enough not to worry about things you can't control," said Farnsworth, who has only 27 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings. "I signed a three-year deal to stay here for three years. But like I said, you can't control it."
July 29, Detroit Free Press: Relief pitching is the Tigers' most obvious need, but not their only one. Three big-league executives said Saturday that Detroit officials have intensified their search for a reserve shortstop who would provide insurance in the event of an injury to Carlos Guillen. The Tigers, on Saturday, had a scout watching Clint Barmes, who lost his job as the Colorado shortstop to standout rookie Troy Tulowitzki. Barmes is now batting over .300 for the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs.

(This is one in a series of profiles on the Class of 2013 of the Huntsville-Madison County Sports Hall of Fame, which will be enshrined in ceremonies April 1 at the Von Braun Center.)
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama --Pat Lewallen fits the quintessential definition of the term "student-athlete."
At Huntsville's Butler High School in the mid-1970s, he was a member of the National Honor Society, finishing with a four-year grade point average of 96.4 while lettering for three years in basketball and golf and serving as team captain in both sports.
A lanky forward known primarily for his rebounding and defense, he averaged 18.8 points per game as a senior in 1976-77 and hauled in 255 rebounds. He was named first-team All-City and first-team All-Region, and was cited for his accomplishments by All-American Publications.
Awarded a full basketball athletic by North Alabama, he became a valuable contributor and three-year letterman on coach Bill Jones' powerhouse teams of the late '70s, an era when the Lions won the 1978-79 NCAA Division II national championship and finished third in the nation the following season.
A mathematics major, Lewallen was the valedictorian of his graduating class, finishing with the highest GPA (3.97) and receiving the coveted Keller Key, which goes to the student with the best academic average. A lone B was the lowest grade he ever made in college.
"I don't think he has ever forgiven that freshman English professor," says Lewallen's wife, Melissa.
Of all the individuals who influenced his life, Lewallen places former Butler basketball coach Jerry Rice at the top.
"Coach Rice's disciplined program was exactly what I needed to help me stay focused on the right things, given that I did not have a dad active in my life," said Lewallen.
"In addition to his discipline, he taught me many things about the game of basketball that helped prepare me for the college level -- things like ball handling skills, defensive positioning and proper shooting techniques. These skills became important when I played at UNA. Finally, Coach Rice was there as a Christian example and male role model for me during a time when I most needed it. I'm truly blessed to have had men like Coach Rice invest their time and influence in my life."
David Hull, the senior pastor of Huntsville's First Baptist Church, nominated Lewallen for the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame.
"Some great athletes 'peak out' during their days in school and then are never heard from again," Hull said. "Pat continues to make contributions to our community that exceed his greatness as a basketball player."
Lewallen, a deacon at First Baptist, is also a Sunday School teacher, choir member and chairman of the personnel committee. In addition, he has served as a youth coach in basketball, baseball, soccer and girls volleyball in both the church and the local school system.
Lewallen worked at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center after college and later at Concurrent Computer Corporation. Since 1992, he has been employed by Sun Microsystems-Oracle Corporation as a systems engineer and senior sales consultant. He and Melissa have three children: Steven, Kate and Thomas.

WEBSTER COUNTY - When a house is on fire, all-volunteer fire departments can struggle to bring in enough people in time. A new system of automatic mutual aid should help rural Webster County departments help each other out.
Whenever there is a structure fire, the dispatch center will now call both the nearest fire department and one other department, said Don Ashenfelter, president of the Webster County Firefighters Association.
"Right now, each department has one department set up for automatic mutual aid," said Ashenfelter, who is also a Badger firefighter. "No matter where our call, if it's a structural fire, Vincent's going to get called out at the same time as us."
Article Photos
Trent Farnham rushes to get his equipment on during a timed test at a recent training meeting of the Gowrie Fire Department. The firefighters were timed, then watched a video of firefighters saving a young girl from a fire and timed again. The second time they got dressed 20 seconds faster
Eventually Ashenfelter said each individual address will be entered into the computer system, and mutual aid will be called based more specifically on the fire's location. For example, the Badger fire district goes west past U.S. Highway 169, he said. A fire over there should trigger mutual aid from Clare instead of Vincent.
The automatic call leads to much quicker response times.
"I work at the Crossroads Mall," Ashenfelter said. "If we get paged to a structural fire, at minimum 10 minutes for me to get to the station. Five minutes for me to get gear on, get in the truck and get out the door. Say it takes 10 minutes to get to the scene.
"I realize at that point I need help. You've got 10 minutes for the next department to get to their station, 5 minutes for them to get gear on, and another 15 minutes to get to the fire. By the time you get enough help, we're looking at almost an hour, 55 minutes."
Gowrie Fire Chief Greg Benson summed it up.
"By the time you get there and figure out what you've got, and you call for mutual aid it's too late," he said.
Gowrie has 20 firefighters on the department, and Badger has 21, but during the day most of them are working out of town.
"With a lot of these small towns, you call in the daytime you're going to get three or four guys, and they just can't man the truck and put out a fire," Benson said.
It takes a minimum of 10 to 12 people, Ashenfelter said.
"I'd rather have a department call us right from the get-go, have them get to the scene, and say it's not that big of a deal," he said. "Rather than wait until they show up and say we've got problems."
Ashenfelter said the association has been trying to implement automatic mutual aid for some time.
"I've been pushing for this for the last 2 1/2 years," he said. "I hope see it continue to where it's standard."
Fire departments and Emergency Medical Services face the same challenges in finding enough volunteers, Benson said. More young people are moving away, and less people are willing to go through the training it takes.
"It's hard for somebody to say I'm a volunteer, but I'm going to sit through a class for 100 hours, take the skills test, take a written test, so I can do this," said Ashenfelter. "And then having to maintain 24 hours of continuing education every year."
Those are the requirements for Firefighter 1, the most basic level of training needed to be legally allowed to fight a structure fire, he said.
Benson said in Minnesota, volunteer firefighters are given pensions after they retire.
"The Iowa Fireman's Association has tried and tried for years to get that implemented in Iowa, because we think it would help our volunteer ratio and rate, to say when you retire from the fire department you get this pension," he said. "It's substantial, and it's really nice and it would help us get volunteers."
The good done
"What do I get for pay?" said Ashenfelter. "I get the calmness in myself thinking that if it's my wife or my kids or my mom or my friends in that situation, somebody is going to come help them."

SHERWOOD--Yvonne Scheller recalls Sherwood's transformation in the last 60 years: A population 283 sign now reading 18,200; the cannery shutting down; one major intersection ballooning to many.
But Old Town's Robin Hood Festival, celebrating its sixtieth year this weekend, has been one of the few constants. To a degree.
"It is so big now that you got to stake your place today with chairs like the Rose Festival in order to get a place to see the parade tomorrow," Scheller, a member of the original 1954 Maid Marian court, said Friday.Scheller, 74, served on the nine-member court the summer after her sophomore year Sherwood High School. Back then, she and other teenagers gave speeches about the importance of community to local groups in order to get selected. Scheller says she is the only one member of the court still living in Sherwood.
She raised two boys and two girls in Sherwood, and her oldest daughter was chosen as Maid Marian in 1974 and younger daughter served on court in 1979.
The festival continues with in Sherwood's Old Town until 11 p.m. tonight, with live music, craft booths, the visiting medieval combat troupe Seattle Knights and a Little Mermaid Jr. performance at 7 p.m.
The 58th annual archery competition against Nottingham continues tomorrow at Edy Ridge Elementary School from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

When your body is exposed to cold temperatures, the extremities of your body, such as your fingers and toes, lose heat. This is because the small blood vessels under the skin become narrower, slowing down the blood supply that helps to preserve your body's core temperature.
In people with Raynaud's, the small blood vessels in the fingers and toes are more sensitive than usual and overreact to cold temperatures. This makes them spasm, which means they narrow much more than usual allowing much less blood to flow through them.
Symptoms can be triggered by mildly cool weather, getting something out of the freezer or running your hands under a cold tap. Strong emotions such as stress or anxiety may also trigger symptoms.
It seems that primary Raynaud's is caused by disruptions in how the nervous system controls blood vessels. Exactly what causes these disruptions is still unclear.
There is some evidence that Primary Raynaud's may be an inherited condition as cases have been known to run in families.
In some cases, there is an underlying reason, usually a health condition, that causes the blood vessels to overreact. This is called secondary Raynaud's.
The majority of cases of secondary Raynaud's are associated with what are known as autoimmune conditions. These are conditions where the body defence against infection, the immune system mistakes healthy tissue as a threat to the body. It then sends disease-fighting antibodies to the tissue which can cause a range of symptoms, such as redness and swelling in the affected area.
Autoimmune conditions known to be associated with secondary Raynaud's include:
Around 1 in 10 people with primary Raynaud's go on to develop an autoimmune condition.
Two blood-born viral infections, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, can occasionally trigger Raynaud's in some people.
Some types of cancers can cause secondary Raynaud's. These are usually cancers that develop inside the blood, bone marrow or immune system, such as:
Secondary Raynaud's can be a side effect of taking certain medicines, including:
The illegal drugs cocaine and amphetamine can also cause secondary Raynaud's.
Raynaud's sometimes results from a physical injury to the affected area. It can also affect musicians, people who type a lot or other people who use their fingers and hands more than usual.
Vibration white finger is a term used when secondary Raynaud's has been caused by exposure to vibration. This typically happens to people who regularly use certain types of vibrating tools, including:
Any vibrating tool that causes tingling or numbness in your fingers after five minutes of continuous use could lead to vibration white finger.
Your employer has a responsibility to protect you from vibration white finger. You can help your employer by asking if the job could be done differently without using vibrating tools. If this is not possible:
If you are diagnosed with vibration white finger, tell your employer as soon as possible. If you stop using vibrating tools at an early stage of the condition, you may recover fully.
By law, your employer must contact the Health and Safety Executive about your condition. You may be entitled to an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, which is a payment given to people who have become ill or injured as a result of their work.
The GOV.UK website has more information about how to apply for an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.

A titular see of Hellespont, suffragan of Cyzicus. The city is situated in Mysia, at the entrance to the Hellespont, opposite Callipolis, in a region known as Bebrycia, which seems to indicate an establishment of Bebryces from Thrace. It was probably called Pityussa prior to its colonization by the Ionian cities of Phocæa and Miletus. The elder Miltiades, when he had been established in possession of Thracian Chersonesus, declared war against the inhabitants of Lampsacus, who made him prisoner, and released him only in submission to the threats of Croesus. During the Ionian revolt Lampsacus fell into the power of the Persians. The "great king" gave its territory to Themistocles that he might supply himself with its wine, which was very famous; but the city itself continued to be governed by native tyrants. After the battle of Mycale (479 B.C.), Lampsacus joined the Athenians, but revolted after the unsuccessful expedition to Sicily ; being unfortified, however, it was easily recaptured by the fleet of Strombichides. After the death of Alexander, it was forced to defend itself against the attacks of Antiochus of Syria. It voted a golden crown to the Romans and became their ally. Its prosperity continued under the empire; gold and silver staters of Lampsacus are extant, and its coins of the imperial period range from Augustus to Gallienus. The city possessed a fine piece of sculpture by Lysippus, representing a lion couchant, which was carried off by Agrippa to grace the Campus Martius at Rome It was the home of many famous men, e.g. the historian Charon, Anaximenes the orator, Adimantus, and Metrodorus, a disciple of Epicurus who himself lived at Lampsacus for three years. It must be added that the city was also notorious for the obscene worship that was paid to Priapus. Its name has been conjecturally introduced into the Vulgate ( 1 Maccabees 15:23 ) in place of the Greek name Sampsace, or Sampsame, in the list of the cities to which the letter of the consul Leucius was sent; and this correction is an excellent one, since no city was known by the name of Sampsace or Sampsame.
St. Trypho, martyred at Nicaea, was, according to the legend, buried at Lampsacus. Its first known bishop was St. Parthenius, under Constantine. In 364 the see was occupied by Marcian, a Semi-Arian or Macedonian; in that year there was held at Lampsacus a council of bishops the majority of whom belonged to that party. Marcian, summoned to the Œcumenical Council of Constantinople, in 381, refused to retract. Other known bishops of Lampsacus were Daniel, who assisted at the Council of Chalcedon (451); Harmonius (458); Constantine (680), present at the Council of Constantinople; John (787), at Nicaea ; St. Euschemon, a correspondent of St. Theodore the Studite, and a confessor of the Faith for the veneration of images, under Theophilus. The See of Lampsacus is mentioned in the "Notitiae episcopatuum" until about the twelfth or thirteenth century. Lampsacus is now a village of about two thousand inhabitants, the chief place of a caza in the sanjak of Bigha; it is called in Greek Lampsaki, and in Turkish Lepsek.

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.

I wrote the other day about how ill-advised our governor was when he decided to start a fight with Rand Paul and the libertarians for no discernible reason whatsoever.Christie's doing just great in the area he understands, which is state politics. He's cruising to what could be a historic landslide in the November gubernatorial election.
But for some reason Christie decided to venture into the area of national security, something he could safely avoid for another two years if he wants to run for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
Instead, he decided to embrace the Obama administration's policy of snooping into every aspect of our lives. Worse, he went after a guy who really has some expertise in that area, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
This was a battle Christie could only lose. He alienated a huge chunk of young, energized activists while picking up the support of ... who? I can't figure it out.
Neither can other commentators such as Ramesh Ponnuru:
Famously combative New Jersey Governor Chris Christie came out as a national-security hawk yesterday, but any military expert could tell him that picking a fight without a strategy is a bad idea.
Christie, a Republican, was asked about the rising influence of libertarianism in his party. He could have said any number of things in response. He could have said that he thinks libertarians bring a lot of interesting and important ideas to the table, but sometimes go too far, and that he thinks that fears about the national-security state ordering drone strikes on Americans sitting at cafes are a case in point. He could have said that he understands people's concerns about the National Security Agency's monitoring of phone-call data, but that he is persuaded that it is necessary and that existing privacy protections are sufficient.
Instead he issued a blanket attack on libertarianism -- "a very dangerous thought" -- and implied that its adherents are unconcerned about the safety of innocent Americans, without any suggestion that they might be right about anything. Like a drone strike, he came at the question from miles above the ground. Unlike the military, he used no precision targeting.
Then there was Dave Nalle in the Washington Times:
As a potential presidential candidate Christie faces an interesting dilemma. He represents a faction of the party which is small and shrinking as Republicans lose their hold on northeastern moderate voters. That means he has to reach out to other factions within the very fractured party to build a coalition which can get him the nomination. With these statements it seems clear that Christie has decided not to throw his lot in with the fastest growing and most dynamic wing of the party.
Spurning the civil libertarian wing of the party throws him into the arms of the warhawks and neoconservatives, another segment in the party whose influence is waning. In fact, the hostility of the public towards the growing surveillance state and the failure of neoconservative foreign policy have thrown that faction deep into eclipse within the party, so much so that many of their long-time supporters are even jumping ship.
Nalle adds:
The pro-war faction in the party is going nowhere. Its strongest proponents like John McCain and Lindsey Graham have a very limited future in office, compared to Liberty Republican leaders like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee who are young and have long careers ahead of them. Christie's choice is backwards looking.
That's just a small sampling of the writings opposed to Christie on this issue. As for the writings in favor, I've yet to see any.

To Learn and To Teach
Center for Women in Jewish Law, established in 1999 at the Schechter Institute
of Jewish Studies with a grant from the Ford Foundation, aims to find halakhic
solutions to the problem of modern-day agunot (anchored women) who are
refused a get (religious divorce) from their husbands.
The Center for Women in Jewish Law, since its inception in 1999, has worked towards formulating alternative legal approaches concerning the rights of Jewish women, most notably agunot , women whose husbands refuse them a writ of divorce and whose cases have dragged on in Israeli rabbinic courts; monitoring rabbinical court decisions and publishing academic and popular works to educate the public concerning the rights and status of women within Jewish tradition. These alternative approaches are available and accepted by many Jewish legal authorities.
The Center has published seven issues of Jewish Law Watch, (Hebrew and English) which offers halakhic solutions to actual agunot cases which have languished for years in the rabbinical courts without resolution. Through its new popular series, To Learn and To Teach, Center researchers deal with the halakhic status of women in the synagogue. Issues include The Mehitzah in the Synagogue and Aliyot for Women. Future issues will deal with Women as Shelihot Tzibbur and in the Minyan , and Pre-nuptial Agreements. Each booklet is simultaneously published in Hebrew, English, French, Spanish and Russian.
Rabbi Professor David Golinkin, halakhic scholar and President of the Schechter Institute, directs the program. Rabbis Diana Villa and Monique Susskind Goldberg are senior researchers at the Center. Rabbbi Israel Warman, a lecturer at Schechter, acts as halakhic advisor. All are graduates of the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary. The Center for Women in Jewish Law is a member of I.C.A.R. - The International Coalition for Agunah Rights.

"This is a great company," says Jack. "Sometimes we fail to fully appreciate all Atlas has accomplished and how fortunate we are to have access to such tremendous resources. Atlas is truly a leader in the industry."
The new President and COO of Atlas Van Lines brings a well-rounded perspective to his assertion. Jack joined the relocation industry in 1995 as vice president of network development with Allied Van Lines. Subsequently, he managed the sales, marketing, and agency development efforts at Allied International. He gave up a senior position in business development at Bekins Van Lines to join Atlas in 2008.
As President and COO of AWG International, Jack led the company back to profitability by challenging people to excel and by emphasizing partnerships with Atlas agents. He also brought a fresh supply of creative thinking. In 2009, he piloted a bold initiative to license the Atlas brand in selected international markets.
Jack grew up in Brantford, Ontario, with a passion for lacrosse and hockey. He credits his parents with instilling a work ethic that has been fundamental to his success. He recalls when, at age 10, he wanted a mini-bike, his dad told him to save his money and he might be able to buy one. So Jack went to a neighborhood store and asked for a job.
"They told me if I showed up every morning and picked up the trash around the parking lot, they'd pay me 50 cents," recalls Jack. "So, every day before school I was out there picking up trash. And I saved enough to buy the mini-bike."
Besides a work ethic, Jack sees two keys to success in the corporate world. "One of them is integrity. When you say you're going to do something, you have to deliver on your commitments. The other thing is building relationships with people. The van line and its agents need to function as a cohesive group. Trust is paramount."
"Jack has done excellent work for Atlas with our three international business units and he will apply that same expertise to our domestic van line business," says Atlas Chairman and CEO Glen Dunkerson. "His experience has given him both a global perspective of our industry as well as an intimate knowledge of its nuts and bolts, and that's a winning combination as we head into 2010 and beyond."
Jack is a member of the International Association of Movers, American Moving and Storage Association, Southern California Relocation Council, Employee Relocation Council, and Society of Human Resource Management. He and his wife, Carolynn, have two children: Courtney, 21; and Jack, 19.

Star Trek D-A-C
As you've probably noticed, there's recently been a new Star Trek film sitting atop the box office charts. Serving as a series reboot the new film comes complete with a cast of fresh faced youngsters taking on the famous roles of Kirk, Spock, Scotty, etc. Masterminded by Lost creator J.J Abrams the reinvention of Trek has turned out to be very good indeed, although Simon Pegg's Scottish accent takes a while to get used to. Strangely however, for such a big film, the only thing missing is the high profile game to go with it.
Not that Trek fans are completely without a new game to play this summer, because Star Trek D-A-C is going to try and fill the gap on Xbox Live Arcade, timed as it is to nicely ride on the coat tales of the movie without really having any direct link at all. In fact unlike most games linked to the evergreen Sci-Fi franchise D-A-C pays little or no attention at all to series lore, stripping away any semblance of story or characters leaving you with a back to basics top down 2D space shoot-em-up, multiplayer experience.
Anyone who's played Wing Commander Arena or that dreadful Battlestar Galactica game will know what to expect here. You pilot your ship around a distinctly 2D representation of space from a top down perspective engaging in battles with other ships that you cross paths with. You get a choice of three ship types, fighter, bomber, and flagship, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each ship type has a different weapons system, fighters do the normal shooting lasers from the front thing while bombers, as their name suggests, drop bombs behind them and flagships fire energy bolts aimed via a target you hover over enemies.
You get to play as either a member of the Federation or the Romulan Empire which sadly does little more than provide a different graphic for your ship as the three classes of vessel are identical regardless of which side you choose. Disappointingly there really is no reason other than the visuals to pick a particular side since there's no plot or characters involved at any point, leaving D-A-C feeling distinctly empty and soulless.
The odd sounding D-A-C in the title actually stands for the three game modes, Deathmatch (Team flavour only), Assault, and Conquest. While Deathmatch does what it says on the tin and lets you join a battle on one of the two sides and blast away, the later two offer some variety. In Conquest you're competing to take over the map by capturing and holding a number of rings allowing a degree of ebb and flow to proceedings. Assault varies things slightly by having the attacking team capture rings in a set order before trying to capture the defending team's base while the defending team simply try to stop them. While D-A-C is a multiplayer game at heart you are able to play all these modes on your own with AI bots making up the numbers if you prefer, although it's fair to say the AI on display isn't the best.
As you may have noticed while D-A-C is officially a Star Trek game it's not stretching the truth to say the only ties it has to the name is in the ship designs. Other than that it could just have easily been called Space Battle Arcade or even Laser Cats vs Mutant Rabbits with a few subtle changes to the graphics. This is doubly disappointing when you realise that D-A-C has very little going for it on the gameplay front, something making better use of the license may have been able to paper over for at least a little while.
It's not that anything is broken exactly, more that it's simply so uninspired. The controls work well enough although there's an almost 'floaty' feeling to them which probably isn't down to any clever advanced space-style physics engine. The differences in the classes of ship give some pause for thought but never really become exciting and the few power-ups available all fail to satisfy.
Talking of the power-ups, these are picked up by simply flying over them (Is it just me or do floating 'magic' powers seem at odds somehow with the Star Trek ethos?) and include such wonders as temporary shields, temporary cloaking ability, one homing rocket and a one use only energy blast that pushes nearby enemies away. Practical yes, but hardly thrilling.
The top down viewpoint is also a little too zoomed in for my liking and means that despite the presence of an on screen mini map and a full battleground map available at the touch of a button there's a tendency for opponents, especially AI ones, to be peppering your hull almost before you're able to see them on screen.
The action itself looks nice enough with some well realised ships and pretty looking backgrounds to fly across. Combine that with the often beautiful explosions and weapons effects and it all comes together to make things look exciting in the heat of battle, it's just a shame it's less fun to play than it is to look at once the novelty has worn off.
There's not even much content here to try and keep you interested; the already limited number of game modes isn't helped by the small number of maps on offer. The slightly stingy four arenas available in Deathmatch mode are made to look positively numerous when you consider there's only two in Conquest mode and a pathetic one for those keen on playing Assault. It's not like they're particularly thrillingly designed either, in case you were thinking it was quality rather than quantity.
The overwhelming feeling, the more you play D-A-C, is that what it really needs is more Star Trek in it. An attempt at a story, some voiceovers, a bit of character, frankly anything would help. As it is there's nothing to hold your attention, nothing for Trek fans to latch onto, all that's left is a functional but soulless top-down shooter that's woefully short of features and completely snubs the possibilities it's license provides. As Spock might say, it's all highly illogical.

At 17, Chela Solis looked easily twice her age. Six years later, she had the face of a longretired prizefighter, complete with the vestiges of a nose broken more than once. Such was the state of her marriage to a lunatic her daughter Dulce Maria Solis aptly calls "Finito" (he once nearly kicked the pregnant Chela to death while forcing her to swallow prescription meds). But Chela, a black comedy written and acted by the younger Solis, takes on as happy an ending as one can expect; a torturous existence propels Mom out of the marriage and on to the reclamation of her life and her sexual identity.
This is an unvarnished look at one Mexico native's struggle to reinvent herself against crushing odds—and the neat thing about it is that Chela isn't some big name whose life is subject to the pushes and pulls of the public mind. Her anonymity is our anonymity, and that trait translates to a true cross-cultural experience and a pretty darn nice bit of theater.
Young Solis, who's been touring the show since 2004 (it premiered at San Diego's Actors Alliance Festival, where it snagged the Best Performance award), might be a little too used to it in spots—rather than seal the current scene (there are 18) with a prolonged look or stance, she's already moving into the next one.
But she's got some good physicality and secondary characters to color the Todd Blakesley-directed action, including a self-righteous East Indian shrink who's got meds on her agenda and her head up her ass.
This isn't a play so much as a public service about domestic violence.

Gavin Wilkinson was named technical director of the Portland Timbers' Major League Soccer franchise, the team announced Monday, and the job will make demands on Wilkinson even before the team's 2011 entry into MLS.
The responsibilities of the technical director are similar to those of a general manager in many other sports. The technical director's duties will include scouting and evaluating players, negotiating player contracts and providing input in the search for a coach. Wilkinson will also manage the club's development team and youth programs.
"A lot of time and effort will go into it," Wilkinson said. "It's a passion of mine, which equates to the workload that's going to go into it."
Wilkinson has been a part of the Timbers' organization for nine years, the last three as general manager and coach. Wilkinson played for the Timbers from 2001 to 2006, including the 2005 and 2006 seasons as a player/assistant coach.
"Gavin's player-evaluation acumen coupled with his domestic and international soccer relationships make him the ideal candidate for the technical director position as we move to MLS," Timbers owner Merritt Paulson said in a release.
Wilkinson will continue as coach and general manager of the Timbers' Division 2 League entry in 2010, but he will not coach the franchise's MLS team. The Timbers have interviewed one coaching candidate, John Spencer, an assistant with the Houston Dynamo of MLS, and probably will interview other candidates in the coming weeks.
Wilkinson said coaching remains a long-term career goal, but he's not going to get in the way of the new coach and will devote his energy to helping the team in his new position.
"Part of what the technical director's job is to meet regularly with the head coach and look at what is right with the team and what is right for the organization long term," said Wilkinson, a two-time United Soccer Leagues' First Division coach of the year. "The coach and I will talk about what is going to help get good results in the near term as well. That's coaching, anyway.
"That part of being on the sideline I will miss. But having said that, I'm going to be completely respectful to the person we bring in."
Wilkinson added that his new responsibilities could take him away from Timbers games this season and he may delegate duties to his staff.
"You may see (assistant coach) Amos (Magee) take a more prominent role in one or two games," Wilkinson said, "or maybe a few more games if I have to get overseas quickly to watch a game or look at a player."
In the coming season, the Timbers will want to build on the success of last year's regular-season championship and carry that momentum into this season and 2011.
"We've got to look at what every other team has done going into their first season, and we have to look at making sure we make the right decisions," Wilkinson said. "We can't leave any stone unturned.
"What we do this year could lead to being successful next year ... if you do things properly."

Cheney: Spy program key to terror war
AP | January 20 2006
Vice President Dick Cheney defended the Bush administration's domestic surveillance program Thursday, calling it an essential tool in monitoring al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.
But Cheney stressed the program was limited in scope and had been conducted in a way that safeguarded civil liberties.
"A spirit of debate is now under way, and our message to the American people is clear and straightforward: These actions are within the president's authority and responsibility under the Constitution and laws, and these actions are vital to our security," Cheney said in a luncheon speech at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank.
Cheney said the surveillance program had addressed a concern of the 9/11 Commission that the government had difficulty linking the activities of domestic and international terrorists.
"It's hard to think of any category of information that could be more important to the safety of the United States than international communication, one end of which we have reason to believe is related to al Qaeda," Cheney said.
President Bush has acknowledged that beginning in October 2001 he authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on international phone calls and e-mails of people within the United States without seeking warrants from the courts.
The program has come under heavy criticism by congressional Democrats and civil libertarians and is now the focus of at least two federal lawsuits.
Cheney told the audience Bush had reauthorized the program more than 30 times since 2001 and would continue to do so.
Also Thursday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales sent congressional leaders a 42-page legal defense of warrantless eavesdropping, expanding on arguments that he and other administration officials have been making since the program was first disclosed last month.
The memo argues that Bush has authority to order the warrantless wiretapping under the Constitution and the post-September 11 congressional resolution granting him broad power to fight al Qaeda.
Gonzales said the analysis was needed to counter critics of the program and show the public that "there's another side to this debate."
Cheney did not directly address an audio tape aired Thursday by Al-Jazeera in which a voice, determined by the CIA to be that of Osama bin Laden, said al Qaeda planned further attacks on the United States.
But Cheney said it was "more than obvious" the nation faced continued terrorist threats.
"The enemy that struck on 9/11 is weakened, fractured, but still lethal and still determined to hit us again," he said. "Either we are serious about fighting this war on terror or we are not."
