In a world where pain and sadness turns into hate
My life in judgement, in latent debate
The lies I see before my eyes
In my last wake I gladly abide
Reminiscences of the past flicker across screens
The feeling, unbearable like a bad dream
After so many years of regret and sorrow
I had decided to give into acceptance, today not tomorrow
Here I was at the last moments of my life
A staircase to nowhere, Undying fires burning bright
As I ascended each step of fiery repentance
I felt the pain I've inflicted onto others, with no further amendment
Soon I knew it'd all be over
Pain I've torn apart from lovers
My soul was locked in hell forever
Regret I'd be for now and ever
I'm here now…

Goose Eggs
3/13/2009 – Michigan 5, Western Michigan 2 – 27-10-0, 20-8 CCHA
3/14/2009 – Michigan 6, Western Michigan 1 – 28-10-0, 20-8 CCHA
This weekend's hockey series featured huge stretches of play so dominating that the above scoreboard resulted. That is the beginning of the first intermission. Michigan has three goals and 21 shots. Western has zero goals and zero shots.
Western's first shot would come at the beginning of the second when a Bronco forward, clearly instructed to get Western on the board, took a slapper from outside the blueline. It was going high, but they counted it anyway. The next shot was a clearance that dribbled in on Hogan, again from outside the blueline. That counted too: Michigan's official scorer was giving Hogan the full Jeff Lerg treatment out of pity to the visitors. By my count, the first actual shot Western launched on Hogan—certainly the first that originated from the offensive zone—came with 15:40 left in the second.
It was that kind of weekend. Total shots: 103 for Michigan and 41 for Western. Only Riley Gill's best Dominic Hasek impression kept Western from ceding 20 goals on the weekend.
So, again: this team is pretty freakin' good. They've pushed their recent non-crazy-goal-controversy record out to 19-1 since late November. Mark Mitera has been making excellent outlet passes and hasn't seemed out of place since an error that lead to Ferris State's first and only goal of the Friday game two weeks ago. They were 15-1 in NCGC games before they added last year's defenseman of the year. They're scratching an NHL draft pick every night. Our third defense pairing is either Steve Kampfer and Brandon Burlon or Tristin Llewellyn and Chris Summers, either of which pairings would be the #1 pair for any CCHA team other than Notre Dame.
When Michigan did anything other than dominate it was more because they were bored and hadn't spent any time in the defensive zone in two weeks and weren't quite sure what you were supposed to do. I am a little concerned that Michigan spends 80% of its time in the offensive zone because it leads to breakdowns and carelessness in their own end. This is a pretty good concern to have, all things considered.
Bullets Western left in the chamber:
- Holy crap was Carl Hagelin out of his mind this weekend. He singlehandedly dominated the penalty-kill, skated through the opposition like it wasn't there, and did his usual demonic backchecking. The Friday night ENG was justice for an outstanding performance. Two borks up.
- Northern Michigan upset Miami to reach the Joe, which improves Michigan's draw (they get Alaska) but hurts them in other ways: Michigan's SOS goes down as they played Miami four times, and Northern is now a TUC which brings M's 1-1 record against them into play.
- We wanted OSU to win the other series; they did not. Bizarrely, since we play now Alaska we want them to stay a TUC if we beat them since 2-1 is good for our overall percentage in that category.
- It doesn't hurt Michigan nearly as much as it does Miami, which is now the final team in the tourney and is vulnerable to an unexpected winner in any of the power conferences.
- I deeply regret that we were not allowed to trade Scooter and a recruit to be named later for Gill's services during the playoff run. That guy was insane both nights, which brings his record for insanity at Yost up to 3/3 on the year, as he was insane in a game Michigan totally dominated and contrived to lose 2-1 when Western conjured two late goals out of deflections and screening. About halfway through the Saturday game people around me started chanting "goalie-goalie" during the Temptation goalie-sieve chant, and, like, yeah. At some point Gill flat robbed Aaron Palushaj to the point where he was compelled to explain just how the hell the puck didn't go in the net to his linemates.
Gill's got a .920 save percentage, which is impressive but only 17th nationally. In context it's astounding, though. This is Western Michigan we're talking about here, always the worst defensive team in the league under Jim Culhane. He probably sees more grade-A rubber in a game than one of Mason's pedestrian .940 guys (Alban, Blackburn, etc) saw in a year; every Western goalie I've ever checked stats of is languishing around .885 or something. I'm sure Alaska's Chad Johnson is pretty good with his .939, but, man, how did Gill get left off the All CCHA Team for Jeff Lerg?
- Hey: they finally got a goal review right! Michigan's third-period goal to go up 4-2 was waved off by McInchak for no apparent reason—it was a virtual replay of the waved off OSU goal—but reviewed and declared good, largely because Shegos got in the box and was like "dude, that's his chest." Good on you, Shegos. Also, the look on Shegos' face—"not this s--- again"—was priceless.
- Last time we saw Shegos, by the way, he was with Langseth. This time no Langseth. Did he get busted down to linesman again? Or did they just tighten the crews because there were only four series to do this weekend instead of the usual six?
- I don't think we can pass ND, but I'll check.
Hello, Springton!
3/16/2009 – Michigan 1, Decade Of Misery 0 … ok, 11.
So who else had a little heart attack when Arizona made the field and Wisconsin popped up as a twelve seed? I spent most of the past month reassuring everyone, including myself, that 9-9 and 1-1 in the Big Ten tourney would be good enough. But as 8, 9, 10, and 11 seeds rolled off the board with Michigan conspicuously absent, irrational concern rose.
There weren't nearly enough crazy bids deployed for Michigan to come under any threat whatsoever. As soon as two things went right on Saturday—which was about 5 PM—Michigan was in. Everyone everywhere told us so. But paranoia is a powerful thing.
Unruly sections of my brain busied themselves constructing scenarios in which the selection committee had managed to discount the Big Ten's impressive body of work outside of the conference. They'd been listening to Digger Phelps. They were going to put Providence and Notre Dame and Georgetown in. Corroboration: Mike Slive of the SEC was the head of the committee. Corroboration: Ohio State's athletic director was a member. Something could have gone wrong.
Obviously this is ridiculous, but they left us as late as possible and you can only stare at Brian/Greg/Burt Gumbel, whichever it was, so long without having your mind wander towards horrible apocalyptic events.
So when the time came…
…that reaction seemed totally appropriate. Most of the time it comes off as silly; the boredom expressed by Kansas and Pittsburgh is more reasonable than what appeared to be the entire state of North Dakota losing its mind when it found out which major conference team—the aforementioned Kansas—was highly likely to bludgeon it into submission. NDSU knew it was in. Not even the world's most inexplicable and pointless vast SEC/Ohio State conspiracy could keep the Bison out. I mean, it guess it's cool for you guys to be on TV, but it's not like there was any suspense.
The closest analogue I can think of is the reaction when a rock star says "HELLO SPRINGTON!" and the arena goes "OH MY GOD HE'S IN SPRINGTON I AM JUST REALIZING THIS NOW." Usually large groups of people assembled in a gym to be excited about something are going to be excited about something stupid. Lord knows I won't feel that way.
Ten minutes later I was again revealed to be a big huge hypocrite. Whatever. That happens all the time. Michigan making the tournament does not. Here's to future boredom with these things, and current joy.
Sandy, tired, camel-riding, joyous bullets:
- HT UMHoops for the celebration video.
- Crisler's reaction is on the front page of the Washington Post.
- A few things jumped out at me during the seedings: 1) Ohio State in Dayton against a #1 seed? Congratulations, Louisville, on your reward. 2) Siena got a 9; they were definitely in anyway. Not so much Utah State and their 11.
- Season ticket holders can get tickets online.
- At least a couple writers have Michigan as one of their tourney sleepers. Gary Parrish names Michigan one of two double-digit seeds with the best chance to make the Sweet 16. (USC is the other, and is also a ten seed. As far as double-digit seed upset predictions go that's as chalk as you can get.)
- The official site recaps Beilein's day: he goes to St. Thomas! Coffee from Caribou! He "meets family" at Bar Louie and probably enjoys a well-deserved, slightly overpriced drink!
Get In
3/7/2009 – Michigan 67, Minnesota 64 – 19-12, 9-9 Big Ten
One of the bizarre things I love is soccer, and one of the bizarre things about soccer I love is the weird British permutations of American sports lingo that get deployed during the course of same and the bizarre permutation I love most is the phrase "get in!"
"Get in!" appears to be the stuffy British equivalent of "GOLAZO," deployed for goals of such spectacular mind-bending quality that a mere "goal" or "gol" is totally insufficient, the existence of such things being another major reason I love soccer. The thing that's bizarre about "get in" is this: it's invariably shouted after the ball has, in fact, gotten in. The ball will get in, and then the suddenly very electric and not at all somnambulant announcer will exclaim "GET IN!"
I think this is because some things you dare not hope for, especially in a game in which goals come so rarely and have this potential to rearrange the universe. Sometimes the situation develops in such a way that the arc of the ball is so improbable and so important and the whole thing is so unlikely that you dare not express hope lest it be wrenched cruelly from you. You can see the curve of the future; you cannot let it enter your heart until the net ripples and the impossible is before you, horned mermaid nuclear spaceship captains and all.
There's three minutes left and Michigan leads Minnesota by two. Manny Harris, a meh at best three-point shooter, takes a pass in the corner and unwisely decides to rise and fire—again. The ball arcs. Someone in the bar has just shouted "C'mon FRESH." If time ever stopped, surely it would do so now.
It's a terrible shot. I mean, just terrible. There are more than twenty seconds on the shot clock and Harris has the ball. He gives a jab step, I guess, but there's a guy in his face and Harris is a 31% three-point shooter and in this game he's two of seven on his way to two of eight and in all ways this is a slow motion 'nooooooooo' situation. Someone hit the abort button. This ship will self destruct in ten seconds.
I am a Michigan fan, so I know how this story goes: long rebound, fast break the other way, transition and-one layup that puts Minnesota ahead for good. Maybe there's a missed wide open dunk for Michigan, or Manny Harris is attacked with a machete and given a technical for spraying blood on the great and powerful Hightower, but those are just details. I know what happens next.
It's just that arc, you know. It looks pretty good. It looks true.
The thing with "get in" is that what has gone down is so good you have to retroactively hope for it, to rearrange yourself into a person so wildly stupid that they would actually believe such a thing is possible.
Last year Michigan was 10-22, more dire than any product put out by Tommy Amaker. Amaker, in fact, kicked the crap out of them in his new job at Harvard. It was one of their eight wins. This year Michigan has two walk-ons splitting most of the point guard minutes, no seniors outside of them seeing any time at all, and a 6'5" freshman guard playing power forward. I mean:
This is a team on the cusp of the NCAA tournament, and they were down twelve halfway through the second half of a road game against a probable NCAA tourney participant.
Beat Iowa and it's over. Get in.
- Every once in a while there's a moment that immeasurably improved by your presence in a sports bar when it happens, and that Minnesota prayer from near halfcourt that went right in moments after Tubby had called timeout was one. The entire bar went "ohhhhhhhh!" in this perfect way. Then there was a brief "Tubb-y, Tubb-y" chant.
- Wow: 100% wrong about Sims in the preview, eh? I've been trying to figure out which totally average NBA bench player Sims reminds me of and it's a tight race between Joe Smith and post-knee-ravaging Antonio McDyess. He's got an NBA shot but I don't know if he's big enough or active enough to be worth having on the roster.
- 100% right about those turnovers, though. It's not often you get a win when the opponent shoots 55% and rebounds half their misses. You kind of have to get 17 turnovers in a 56-possession game.
- Much more detail on this later, but I spent a large chunk of the weekend pondering the bubble and 1) we're obviously in good shape now but 2) we really, really don't want to lose to Iowa, who we just lost to without two of their best players. We might still get in but it's going to be tooth and nail.
The Death of Dual Threet, And The Fallout
Last year I attempted to coin a clever nickname for the Feagin-Threet quarterback pairing: "Dual Threet." Dual is now a slot receiver and Threet is moseying on out of town, possibly to North Dakota State if you believe random guys on a message board. (Do not believe random guys on a message board. Believe specific guys on a message board.) So it goes for Michigan in the past couple years.
I've been a stalwart supporter of Rich Rodriguez since his arrival. I didn't think Ryan Mallett's departure was his fault, nor did he have much of an opportunity to land a dual-threat guy in the month or so he had to finish off Michigan's 2008 recruiting class. The one guy it seemed he did have a chance with, BJ Daniels, ended up at South Florida amidst a flurry of payoff rumors that even The Wolverine—normally a place that shies away from incendiary allegations like that—lent credence to. The hand he was dealt was an exceptionally poor one. I can find no better way to sum it up than this: how many walk-on quarterbacks can you remember at power (or even decent) programs, and how did they do?
I've got exactly two:
- Notre Dame's Matt Lovecchio, AKA A Major Reason Ty Willingham Was Fired.
- UCLA's McLeod Bethel-Thompson, AKA The Only Reason Notre Dame Beat A BCS Opponent In 2007.
There's almost no precedent for a quarterback situation like the one Michigan faced in 2008, and almost no way to claw yourself out of a hole that vast at the most important position on the field. Once that hand was dealt, Rodriguez was dead meat.
So the reasonable criticism of Rodriguez are mostly confined to his role in setting up his hand: "running off" Mallett, the Boren defection, the fruitless chase of Pryor, and so on and so forth. I didn't find any of these arguments compelling, since I knew Mallett had a foot and a half out the door even when Carr was running the team and that the Borens had major daddy issues and the options outside of Pryor were about nil. The decision to hire Shafer was a poor one, and that seemed like it should be held against Rodriguez. Other than that, it was Angry Michigan Whatever Hating God all the way.
You can tell there's a but coming, so: but. But the Threet transfer bothers me. Even with the recruitment of Forcier and Robinson, Threet is the most experienced quarterback on the roster by two years and has some decent starting experience. He will find no better situation wherever he transfers unless it's to some podunk I-AA school. The transfer makes little sense for him personally or professionally unless there's something behind the scenes we don't know about.
Meanwhile, Michigan now finds itself down to two true freshmen before they have to drag out another walkon, be it Nick Sheridan or Nader Furrha or whoever. Even if Threet was mostly poor a year ago, he was obviously far superior to the alternative, and at worst he would be the backup next year. With Denard Robinson something of a project, every one of Michigan's egg is now in Tate Forcier's basket. Threet leaving the program is an obvious negative.
So it doesn't make sense on anyone's part. Why did it happen? I go back to a quote from Calvin Magee in the aftermath of the Michigan State game. Dan Feldman's Daily article on the transfer highlights it:
By staying and giving Michigan another feasible option besides Sheridan, Threet opened himself to public criticism from the Wolverines' coaches. Offensive coordinator Calvin Magee described Threet's three-interception performance against Michigan State on Oct. 25 as "inconsistent, like it always is."
Man, that's pretty rough. Behind-the-scenes reports from insiders always said Threet had major confidence issues and didn't respond well to this staff's high pressure style. Maybe they tried to adapt. That evidently didn't last, so Threet decided he'd be better off elsewhere.
It's obvious neither side had much faith in the other. That's not unexpected given the rickety nature of the pairing, but I can't help but think that Bo or Lloyd would have found a way to finesse it better. I don't know. Maybe I've been talking to John U. Bacon too much.
- Pretty sure Matt Hayes has no idea that Nick Sheridan is a walk-on. Asked "what does the Threet transfer mean for M" he responded "It means Nick Sheridan, who shared time with Threet last fall, is next out the door." This is unlikely unless Sheridan wants to go to UM-Dearborn or something.
- Maize 'n' Brew blows up a pretty dumb Blade article on the transfer. HT to them for the NDSU link, too.
- The Ann Arbor News thinks there's "no heir apparent," which, could not be more wrong since there is one obvious guy who is obviously the starter now.
- But, hey, Forcier seems slightly more confident than Threet (link ibid): "In this offense, there's always somebody open. You should never throw an incompletion.'' Forcier's cockiness should serve him well.
- Chengelis says you shouldn't anoint either freshman your lord and savior yet.
- DocSat has a take as well.
Throughout the first half of last night's game, the familiar thought crept up in the minds of Michigan fans: "If the offense just gets going, we've got this game." As per the script throughout much of this year, the offense never picked up enough for the Wolverines to steal a game against the #1 team in the Big Ten.
Michigan finished the first half with 15 points, something Brent Musberger and Steve Lavin continually pointed out during the second half. What they were neglecting to mention, however, was that this anemic offensive output only had Michigan down 10 points. The Spartans had only scored 15 themselves, and we hardly threatening to run away with the game.
The Wolverines performed admirably, despite giving up a lot of size to the Spartans. It's easy to see where this team will become a great one in the future as Ben Cronin, Blake McLimans, and Jordan Morgan appear on the scene. This team might not be good enough to make it into the tournament, but losing CJ Lee, David Merritt, and Jevohn Shepherd while adding good size and a 4-star point guard bodes well for the future.
Zack Gibson remains a frustrating player. He has flashes of absolute brilliance, followed by shocking incompetence (especially on the defensive end of the floor). Manny also had a rough game, and had trouble getting to the line. The Wolverines were also an uncharacteristic 6-11 from the line, something you can't do against a rival - particularly when you're the best foul shooting team in the conference.
Michigan next faces Northwestern in Evanston Sunday. The Wolverines dominated the Crisler half of the home-and-home, and with tournament hopes dwindling, nearly every contest is a must-win from here on out.

Lehman Brothers
1/20/2009 – Michigan 58, Penn State 73 – 13-6, 3-4 Big Ten
How's this for some trenchant analysis you can't get anywhere else: that was brutal. Let us never discuss it again.
Moving forward, the last two games have blown whatever margin of error Michigan had in their effort to make the tournament. Even if you assume wins home and away against Northwestern and away against Iowa—potentially dodgy but absolutely necessary to make the tourney—you have to find three wins in these games to get Michigan to .500 in conference:
Home: Penn State, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue
Away: Ohio State, Purdue, Minnesota
Is that doable? I don't know anymore. Maybe they can split with Minnesota and beat Penn State and home. Then it's a matter of getting really hot in one other game and stealing it. It won't happen when the team shoots 2 of 15 from 3-point range in the first half. Would that get Michigan in? If they beat UConn, obviously. If they don't that leaves them at 19-12 and fifth or sixth in the #2 league in the country, so yeah.
I guess the question is: will the team shoot as horribly as they have in the future? There's no chance they all grow three inches by Tuesday, and even if they did that would probably throw off their coordination significantly. You're going to see Michigan continue to get crushed defensively. Against Illinois (and, I guess, Ohio State) Michigan was overwhelmed by height that took away their inside game—Sims, their inside game, was 7 for 27. Against Penn State they weren't overwhelmed by height and still got crushed in the paint and on the offensive glass. This is the Beilein system taken to extremes, and that's understandable given the composition of the team. This was expected to be an NIT team for a reason.
I've been beating this drum since the Indiana game: it's been clear for a while now that the Duke and UCLA wins raised the profile of and expectations for the team disproportionately. Struggles against a wide array of very bad teams and near-implosions against Indiana and Savannah State didn't have the same impact because "a win is a win"* and all that, leading to a lot of irrational exuberance.
Welcome to the crash.
- UMHoops: "The numbers don't lie, Michigan shot 39.3% from the field and 16.7% from behind the arc tonight. Michigan has shot over 40% just twice in the last 10 games after shooting over 40% in 7 of their first 8 (the only game under 40% was the win over UCLA). At the end of the day winning basketball games comes down to making your shots. It doesn't matter whether they are two point shots or three point shots; an open shot is an open shot."
- Beilein: "We had some great looks early, couldn't hit any of them, and had a chance to get out early enough on them because we played good defense on them early. But we couldn't make any shots. Once they got it going in the second half it was lights out."
- Don't really have much other than "yeeaaargh" on this one.
- I would like to point out that everyone would take this if magically given the option at the start of the year. I was hoping for slightly above .500 and an NIT bid, and that was before it became clear the Big Ten is way, way better than it was last year.
- I want Manny Harris to commit a charge per half the rest of the season.
*(For the past, yes. For the future, no: past performance is a better predictor of future performance than past results.)

IVP Submissions
IVP's mission is to publish Christian books that are true to the Bible and that communicate the gospel, develop discipleship and strengthen the church for its mission throughout the world. This means our books are biblically based and reflect our desire to communicate Gospel truth in a mature and relevant manner.
Although most of the books we publish are commissioned by our editors, IVP is always on the look-out for talented new authors and the Editorial Team meets regularly to consider submissions.
We are looking for writers who can offer a proposal with the following criteria:-
- Is consistent with an evangelical view of Scripture and adheres to our Statement of Faith.
- Shows originality both in subject and approach.
- Communicates well through the written word.
- Is culturally relevant – It is our passion to engage today's reader with the Word of God.
- Shows a clear understanding of whom the author is writing for, how they want their reader to benefit from their book.
- That has a willingness to build engagement with their readers.
Over the years IVP have been shortlisted for book awards and have, on occasion won 'Christian book of the year'.
If you would like IVP to consider publishing your work, please prepare a proposal that covers the following:-
- Proposal Statement: In less than 100 words please give a snapshot of your book. Imagine you are standing in front of your church and have to convince them to read your book. What would you say?
- Need: Why is a new book needed on this subject? How is your book designed to meet that need? What new contribution does the book make?
- Impact: What response do you want your readers to make having finished the book?
- The book's intended readership: Please identify the primary and secondary audiences. Be specific and realistic, rather than saying that all Christians will be interested. The more general the aim, the more a book can miss its target.
- Chapter by chapter summary: Content pages and outlines only give the topics to be covered, rather than what you wish to say. Please give a comprehensive chapter by chapter breakdown of your book.
- One or two sample chapters.
- Short biography: Include your qualifications for writing the book. Please explain how you are already engaged with potential readers or the community in which your readers are found.
- Review of similar titles: Please give an analysis of what makes your title different from similar books already in the market
- Schedule and length of book: Please give us your writing schedule and estimated word count.
We publish books that are true to the Bible and enrich the Christian church. But ultimately, like it or not, your book is also a product of the economy. That means it will suffer the scrutiny of picky reviewers and will need to tick the boxes of demanding readers and retailers. So don't be afraid to road-test your ideas and sample chapters with potential target readers before you send them. After all, there's no law against self-editing, and your publisher will love you for your clear, uncluttered style and sparkling prose.
Please note that it is unlikely that we will publish a completed manuscript. We love to partner with writers who have a strong proposal or idea, and to work closely with them to develop the highest quality book possible. We have experienced editors, designers and marketers who work with our authors to deliver a book that will make the strongest Gospel impact.
Please take some time to review our website to note the types of books that we publish. At present we do not publish children's books, poetry, fiction or PhD theses.
Please ensure that all material is at least 1.5 spaced and easily readable.
You can send the material by email
Or by post to:
Editorial Department (Submissions)
IVP Books
36 Causton Street
London SW1P 4ST
If you send material by post and would like us to return it to you, please include a self-addressed envelope with the postage paid.
Before submitting your proposal, it might help to browse our previous titles to ensure we are the most suitable publisher for your work.
IVP receives a considerable number of book submissions each week and, while we reply to everyone as quickly as possible, it could be several weeks before you hear from us. Please also be aware that because, like many publishers, we receive a large number of manuscripts, we are unable to give detailed reasons or enter into correspondence about why we turn down a proposal.

Gold Panda
City Slang Records
Good Luck And Do Your Best Vinyl LP
↳ house, IDM and downtempo vibes
Earn up to 199 Reward Points with this purchase! more info
Third studio album from England's Gold Panda. Good Luck And Do Your Best was recorded at the producer's home in Chelmsford, but draws its main influence from a pair of trips he took to Japan. That influence brings a warmer pallet to this album. Where 2013's Half of Where You Live had a dark and clubby vibe, Good Luck And Do Your Best seems to flow more naturally. And the tracks fit together like pieces of a whole. Taken as a whole, the album is an idiosyncratic collection of house, IDM and downtempo that is reflective of its time and place. Eleven tracks in all. Released by City Slang Records on black vinyl with a download code.

Sister Dorothy Stang could barely have done more to help others. For more than 30 years, she lived deep in the Brazilian jungle fighting for the rights of small farmers and battling to protect the rainforest she had chosen to make her home.
In the dusty town of Anapu, a 30-hour drive from the regional capital, Belém, the energetic Catholic nun from Dayton, Ohio, promoted sustainable development and spoke out against the rapacious ranchers and mining companies destroying the forest. She endured mosquitoes, isolation and death threats, or at least she did until she angered one powerful person too many. Five years ago the 73-year-old, known as the "Angel of the Rainforest" to those who loved her, was assassinated.
Her body was discovered face down on a dirt track 30 miles from Anapu, deep in a jungle humming with insects. She had been shot at least six times at close range and her Bible lay at her side. It would later emerge she had read to her killers from the Beatitudes, telling them: "Blessed are the poor in spirit."
This week, a court in Belém convicted Vitalmiro Moura, a wealthy landowner, of ordering her killing because she had blocked the efforts of him and another rancher from taking over land that the Brazilian government had set aside for small farmers. Moura was sentenced to 30 years in jail. He had previously been convicted only to have the verdict overturned at a subsequent appeal on a technicality. He has already indicated his intention to appeal this result.
Speaking last night from Belém, Sister Dorothy's brother, David Stang, said: "[Moura] has already appealed this trial. However, he is in jail, he will not be freed for the appeal and he has now twice been convicted. These are real things. The other important thing is that this story continues to grow."
Rebeca Spires, a nun who has worked in Brazil for 40 years and who knew Sister Dorothy for 35 of them, told reporters: "We've waited so long for this verdict. This conviction sends a strong message to the other masterminds that the impunity is ending."
Sister Dorothy, a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, an order that has championed liberation theology, deliberately placed herself on the front line of one of the planet's deadliest environmental battles. The Amazon rainforest, so rich in flora that an average acre contains 179 different species of plant, has never been more under threat. Despite efforts from environmentalists and promises by the Brazilian government to halt the rainforest's demise, at least 20 per cent of the jungle has been destroyed since 1970. Up to 13,000 acres a day are being lost, mainly to large-scale farmers, ranchers and mining interests.
The white-haired nun, whose struggle has since become the subject of an opera and a documentary narrated by the actor Martin Sheen, knew of the dangers. At least 1,400 people have been murdered in land disputes over the jungle since the mid-1980s, more than half of them in the lawless north-eastern state of Para in which Anapu is located. Just 10 days ago, a land reform activist in the town of Redencao, also in Para, was shot five times by two men who approached him on motorbikes.
Over the years, Sister Dorothy had received a number of threats but she believed her work was too important to stop. She wore a T-shirt printed with words in Portuguese that read: "The death of the forest is the end of our life."
Her assassination in 2005 not only highlighted the dilemma faced by the government of President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva as it sought to develop the economy of Brazil – heavily dependent on agricultural exports such as soy – while protecting its environment. As with the murder of the rubber-tapper and activist Chico Mendes in 1988, her killing suggested that the environment was not winning that struggle.
This week Edson Souza, who successfully prosecuted the man who ordered Sister Dorothy's killing, drew a direct link between her murder in Anapu and a broader struggle to preserve the jungle. He said: "If we cannot convict those who kill these leaders, then we cannot maintain the fight to preserve the forest."

World Alpine Ski Racing in Maine
Sugarloaf -- a small ski area by European standards -- entered ski racing history in 1971 by hosting an event that was part of the World Cup Alpine Ski Championships. The "Tall Timber Classic," as the event was known, had a decidedly Maine flavor.
Maine's natural resources -- granite, limestone and slate in particular -- along with its excellent ports made it a leader in mining and production of the valuable building materials. Stone work also attracted numerous skilled immigrants.
Construction of the Bangor and Aroostook rail lines into northern Aroostook County in the early twentieth century opened the region to tourism and commerce from the south.

Flesor's Candy Kitchen
At Flesor's Candy Kitchen they're just happy that warm weather prompts folks traveling up and down Interstate 57 or Route 36 to take the Tuscola, Illinois exit, stop at their great Tanger outlet mall, and then navigate a tiny bit more to their little downtown where they discover the treasure that is their store. They are also thrilled to welcome tourists to their region who have come to explore Amish Country and include in their itinerary a look at a couple of non-Amish, ½ Greek sisters who make candy the old-fashioned way, too. During summer, people flock to their hundred-year-old soda fountain (homemade ice-cream!) and are delighted that they serve good food for lunch every day from 11:00 to 3:00. They also welcome buses, and crazy Devon is almost always on hand to stand on a chair to give her "speech" about the store's history and offer big groups a tour of the candy room.

It's the only game in town, and it isn't fine dining, no atmosphere in the order area although you can eat there. Typical chinese take out and the food is average at best.
Just moved to Cooperstown and was excited to find our new "Chinese restaurant". we placed a simple order of dumplings, fried and steamed, and egg rolls. Egg rolls were completely left out of the order and each order of dumplings were short by 3 from the advertised/quoted number. I called to express my frustration and resolve, but was told that...
A few small tables for those wishing to eat in. Take out is their major business. Full range of traditional Chinese menu items.
The food at China Wok is very good, lots of good choices. Just be aware that they do not accept debit or credit cards, local checks or cash only.
Although a takeout restaurant, with only a handful of tables, this is an excellent place to get a meal. Helpings are generous and delicious.
The address is actually 12 Commons Drive, Suite 7 (next to the supermarket and near the Best Western Hotel on Route 28 south of Cooperstown). There is plenty of parking and they prefer that you call...
We go here every year while we are in Cooperstown for the HOF Induction. They
never let us down. Good food, fast service, nice people.
Great lo mien, great Kung Pao, lovely folks cooking and serving. Like a neighborhood eat in or take out diner.
This was honestly the best meal we had while in Cooperstown! We actually got it for ourselves twice during our stay, and got take out for our son in the barracks after a late game one night! Between the times we ate here, we had general tso chicken, bourbon chicken, sweet & sour chicken, chicken & broccoli, shrimp lo mein,...
Grabbed a carry out order from here the last night in Cooperstown. Wish we would have tried it sooner. This was really good Chinese food. It's a small carry out place with seating for 10-12 total. NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED. The General Tso's chicken was phenomenal. We ordered several different dishes for the family and everyone enjoyed it. Would recommend...
If you have had enough baseball food, this is a nice change. A very typical Chinese restaurant, it has the standard menu, prices, and service. They did a lot of take out when we were in there. You could probably fit a small group to eat in (less than 20) or do take out. Fast, hot, and tasted good.

I love citrus. I love citrus scents (find proof here, here and here), I love citrus flavors (fruit salad or a mojito anyone?), I love citrus colors (lemon yellow, tangerine orange and lime green = puhreeetty!), I love it all! And I also love slathering my wet body with citrus and wrapping myself from head to toe in a zesty cloud of deliciousness*. Especially in summer. And this summer I'll get to go all out, because in July L'Occitane is launching a brand new collection of verveine-scented products! I got to try two of the new L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine products in preview, and today I'd like to share my thoughts with you.
* I realize that this sounds like a scene from a bad romance novel
L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Eau De Toilette
First up is the star product from the L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine collection, the Frisson de Verveine Eau de Toilette. The smell and the look of the eau de toilette were inspired by the fresh, clean smell and color of verveine leaves from the Provence. The scent opens with lemon and bergamot followed by verveine and cucumber, and ends with a hint of musk and cedar wood. Together these notes create a light, fresh citrus scent.
The smell of the L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Eau de Toilette is fairly subtle, which is why for me it's more like an all-over body perfume rather than a real perfume. It's also a rather sharp kind of citrus scent, and I think that an extra touch of lime or lemongrass would have been nice as it would have made the scent a bit softer and more balanced. The L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Eau de Toilette is probably the kind of fragrance that will either completely win you over or not do anything for you at all. As a citrus lover I definitely like it, but if L'Occitane had gone for just a slightly softer and more delicate citrus scent I probably would have liked it even better and declared myself president of the Frisson de Verveine fan club. Now I'm just a happy club member.
L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Fresh Shower Gel
The L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Fresh Shower Gel has the same enticing zesty smell as the eau de toilette, but just with a little more sparkle and a little more zing. Perfect for a refreshing shower time moment. The shower gel has a gel-like, almost jelly-like texture and lathers nicely. And those bubbles that you see in the bottle? Fun! Together with the fresh green color of the product they really add to the refreshing character of the shower gel.
After showering the L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Fresh Shower Gel leaves behind a subtle fresh citrusy veil on my skin that creates a perfect harmony with the eau de toilette. Yep, for me this is definitely a fan club-worthy shower gel, and this time I'll gladly take the position of president!
The L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine collection will available in July. The L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Eau de Toilette will retail at 69 CHF and the L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine Fresh Shower Gel will retail at 23 CHF. In addition to the eau de toilette and the shower gel there will be five more products in the collection.
Do you like citrus-scented beauty products? Will you be getting anything from the L'Occitane Frisson de Verveine collection this summer?

Dual Agents…Why you should avoid it.

Although my stance on it is likely an unpopular one amongst my agent friends, it comes up all too often and should be addressed. What is a dual agent? According the TREC website … Read More!
Peep of the Week 3.9.12
From a land far, far away. Something about this newly listed home is very mysterious and intriguing to me. I can't quite put my finger on it but when I was searching for a new home to showcase this week I kept returning to this one. This is not your traditional River Oaks home and I think it will attract a very unique buyer. I imagine the owner of this home to be very interesting, worldly, and well traveled. I love stumbling upon a home like this. It takes me somewhere else...an interesting blend of South American, Asian, and European decor and design. 3005 Avalon Pl. … Read More!

Scarlett Johansson and Janet Leigh (Photo: Fox Searchlight, Everett Collection)
The new trailer for for the upcoming film "Hitchcock" points to the huge challenges famed auteur Alfred Hitchcock had to overcome in order to get his classic 1960 thriller "Psycho" made -- including uncooperative Paramount executives who couldn't get behind killing off the leading lady halfway through the film.
Starring Anthony Hopkins as a dead on Hitchcock (no pun intended) and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, the newly-revealed footage also illuminates the extent to which Hitchcock's wife and creative collaborator Alma Reville influenced him and his work. Reville, played by Helen Mirren, says at one point in an angry tone, "...I put up with those people who look through me as if I were invisible because all they can see is the great and glorious genius Alfred Hitchcock."
Offering a glimpse at comedic moments, a preoccupation with Janet Leigh's breasts is also teased in the trailer. Apparently their fullness created challenges to filming the famous shower scene -- something Johansson portrays as a concern leading up to the production: "From here up [motions to her upper torso] I'm not exactly boyish." And while the trailer does make reference to Hitchcock attempting to sneak in a hint of nudity into "Psycho," Leigh actually wore a flesh-colored bodysuit during filming (a double stood in for the more exposed shots in the sequence).
'Hitchcock' Theatrical Trailer
Jessica Biel and Vera Miles (Photo: Fox Searchlight, Everett Collection)
Apparently it was also a challenge to make Biel -- who often appears on men's magazine lists of hottest women -- to make her look less, well, sexy. "What Hitch tried to do to Vera we tried to do to Jessica, and the results were equally ridiculous. It is not possible to make Jessica Biel dowdy," Gervasi added. There is a brief shot in the trailer where you can see Biel as Miles not wearing her blond wig (and apparently not much of anything else).
Since the film is about the making of "Psycho," naturally the famous shower scene wherein Janet Leigh's character gets murdered is depicted. But it is not a shot-for-shot recreation, but rather shown through the eyes of Hitchcock's perspective, according to Gervasi.

And if that's not enough for you, "The Girl" is another upcoming Hitchcock biopic about the director's relationship with actress Tippi Hendren during the making of "The Birds." Our own Thelma Adams was on hand at The Hamptons International Film Festival to speak to the stars of "The Girl" -- Sienna Miller and Toby Jones. It will premiere on HBO on October 20.
"Hitchcock" lands in theaters November 23.

Robert Pattinson aims to graduate from Twilight with a leading role in this adaptation of the bestselling book of the same name.
Set during the Great Depression, Jacob (Pattinson) is studying to be a vet when he receives the news that his parents have died in a car crash. Finding himself with no money or home, he joins the circus, quickly getting work looking after the animals, including the latest star attraction: an elephant called Rosie. It's a pretty looking film, but the love story between Pattinson and the circus owner's wife (Reese Witherspoon) fails to convince; so much so you don't care whether or not her deranged husband (Christoph Waltz) rumbles them.Reuse content

Apply for legal aid
- From:
- Legal Aid Agency
- Part of:
- Civil
- First published:
- 1 June 2014
- Last updated:
- 24 August 2015, see all updates
- Applies to:
- England and Wales
Legal aid application forms and guidance for civil and crime work: apply online or through CCMS, deal with high cost or exceptional cases.
How to apply
If you think your client may qualify for legal aid, you'll need to:
- help your client fill in the forms or apply online
- help your client get the right evidence
- complete the checklist
- send to the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) or, for criminal work, Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS)
Categories of law
The 2 main categories of law paid for by the LAA are civil (including controlled work) and criminal.
There are also a number of cases outside of mainstream funding:
Make a civil application
When you've checked your client's eligibility for civil legal aid, fill in 1 of the civil means-testing forms and the appropriate civil application forms as required by the LAA.
You can also apply online through the Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) if you have been invited to use the system. You can access CCMS through the online portal.
Controlled work applications
Find the controlled work forms you need before applying for legal help funding or for controlled legal representation at mental health tribunal proceedings or before the first-tier tribunal in asylum or immigration.
Supply the correct evidence
Make sure you have the correct evidence, eg bank statements or remittance slips. What's needed is stated on the individual forms but incorrect or incomplete evidence remains a common reason for applications being delayed or rejected.
CCMS will provide an evidence checklist as part of the online application process.
Complete the checklist (paper applications only)
Many applications are rejected for avoidable reasons, eg the form is left unsigned, not dated or is incomplete.
You can save time by following the checklist for new applications.

Emails sent into Contact Civil are separated into 4 categories, depending on the keyword used within the subject title of the email.
The 4 boxes are for merits, means, finance and counsel work.
Below is a list of examples you should use depending on the work you are submitting:
|Query relating to:
|Include in subject header

|Solicitor bill, CLAIM 1, CLAIM 1A

For example:
- your query relates to the legal aspect of a case, then you should include the word 'Merits' in your subject header, along with case reference number
- you are attaching further information relating to the financial circumstances of a client then you should include the word 'Further information'
This will allow us to direct your enquiry to the correct team. If you do not use the correct keyword there may be a delay dealing with your enquiry.
To enable us to locate your client on the system please include your client's legal aid certificate number. If you don't have a certificate number, use your client's name and date of birth or address.
If your client's application is refused, you can appeal. Depending on what you applied for, there may be an appeal form with your reply or if you applied through CCMS, you can appeal online. Find out more about legal aid appeals.
Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) queries
If your query is about a CCMS case you should use the case enquiry task button. Alternatively, if your query is more general and not case specific you should use the general enquiry task button. Please visit the Contacts page of the CCMS website for details of who to contact in the following scenarios:
- When you have a CCMS query
- When you are unable to access CCMS due to a technical issue
- When you have an urgent query

Make a crime application
To apply for criminal legal aid for legal representation in the courts, your client must complete form CRM14 and where applicable form CRM15.
They'll need to pass a means test (financial) and a merits test, Interests of Justice (IoJ), to ensure they're eligible for criminal legal aid.
Apply online (crime)
Use the CRM14 eForm in place of the paper CRM14 and CRM15 forms to apply for criminal legal aid online. This is only available in some areas however we are in the process of rolling it out nationally. Find out more about eForms including whether the CRM14 is available in your area.
Supply the correct evidence
The individual forms and guidance tell you what evidence is needed. Not supplying it is a common reason for applications being delayed and rejected.
Sign and date forms
Many applications are rejected for avoidable reasons, eg the form is left unsigned, not dated or is incomplete. Please remember to check your forms before sending. This could save you time later.
Where to send your forms
Most applications for criminal legal aid are currently sent to the magistrates' court where your client's case will be heard. This includes cases which end up in the crown court.
It's important to note that during 2014/15, the processing of criminal applications is transferring to the LAA. Please see the criminal legal aid processing page for further information.
