Honda Civic HX
From Honda press: The 2001 Honda Civic HX Coupe, the mileage leader in an already fuel-efficient Civic family, is making a name for itself as the latest award-recipient of ACEEE's "Greenest Vehicles" and IntelliChoice's "Best Overall Value" honors for 2001.
The 2001 Civic HX Coupe was selected from more than 800 2001 model-year domestic and import vehicles, and named the "Best Car Value under $22,500" by IntelliChoice, one of the most respected automotive information providers in the United States. The IntelliChoice award recognizes those models that are the best value in their class. IntelliChoice ranked the Civic HX top in its price class for costs for insurance, depreciation, maintenance, repair, fuel, state fees and financing to calculate the value of the vehicle.
The Civic HX Coupe was also the top-ranked vehicle with a conventional internal combustion engine in ACEEE's (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy) Green Book™: The Environmental Guide to Cars and Trucks, Model Year 2001, being named one of the "Greenest Vehicles of 2001." Scoring is based on official emissions, fuel-economy tests and other specifications reported by auto manufacturers.
The Civic HX is equipped with an advanced automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The CVT allows for an infinite number of
"gear" ratios to optimize engine performance and efficiency.
For 2001, the Honda Civic HX Coupe has earned two spots on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Top 10 fuel efficiency list for both its CVT and 5-speed models. With an EPA mileage rating for the CVT model at 35 city/40 highway and the 5-speed at 36 city/44 highway, the Civic HX leads the way in a family of Civics that are currently the forerunner for fuel efficiency in their class.
The Civic HX, as well as the entire 2001 Honda Civic coupe lineup, was recently awarded an all-around five-star safety rating from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), making it one of only two cars to ever receive this monumental rating for the driver and front and rear seat passengers in both frontal and side impact crash tests.

A man has appeared at Chesterfield magistrates' court charged with manslaughter after he allegedly struck a colleague with a fatal punch following a day at work.
The court heard on Monday how Grzegorz Betleja, 28, of Nursery Avenue, Sutton-in-Ashfield, allegedly punched 39-year-old Jacek Golubek just after 5pm, on Friday.
Prosecuting solicitor Angela Hadfield said the defendant and deceased were Polish national, agency workers based at Wanzl, on Sawpit Lane industrial estate, Tibshelf.
She claimed there had been a dispute and Mr Betleja allegedly punched Mr Golubek on a grass bank near the entrance to the estate.
Mr Golubek suffered a brain injury and was pronounced clinically dead on March 22, according to Mrs Hadfield.
Betleja has not yet entered a plea and the case has been adjourned until an expected hearing at Nottingham Crown Court, on April 7.

Nepal agrees to caretaker government ahead of mid-year election
By Gopal Sharma, KATHMANDU (Reuters) – Nepal's main political parties said on Monday they had reached an agreement to set up a unity government before a national election in the middle of the year, in a deal that could end a deadlock after a decade of civil war.
Maoist Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, 58, will step down and Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi of the Supreme Court will head the new administration to oversee the vote in May or June, the parties said.
It was not immediately clear when the leadership change would occur.
The agreement reached between Maoist chief Prachanda and leaders of three main political parties in the presence of President Ram Baran Yadav addresses a major concern of the opposition.
The opposition had demanded that Bhattarai, a former Maoist rebel leader, quit in favour of a caretaker government to oversee delayed elections.
The ballot will choose an assembly that will complete the writing of a new constitution, Nepal's first after the abolition of the monarchy in 2008.
Nepal has been without a parliament since last May when the term of a special assembly expired without completing a draft of the new constitution. An election had been scheduled for last November.
The country has struggled to rebuild itself after a decade of civil war that ended in 2006, leaving more than 16,000 dead.
The ongoing instability has had a knock-on effect on the country's economy, which is heavily dependent on aid and tourism. The International Monetary Fund expects GDP growth to slow to 3.8 percent this fiscal year ending in mid-July compared to 4.6 last year.

In Celebration!
7:38 PM | Posted by Lola Sharp | | Edit Post
Hello Friends,
I am popping in here to share some MARVELOUS NEWS!!!
My talented friend, Cristin Terrill, went on sub recently and quickly went to auction (!) and this is what became of it (!!!):
from Publishers Weekly, Deals, week of 3/5/12
Disney Believes In 'Yesterdays' (Lola says: I DO TOO!)
In another major YA acquisition leading up to Bologna, Emily Meehan at Disney-Hyperion won North American rights at auction to Cristin Terrill's debut, All Our Yesterdays. The YA book, which was sold by Diana Fox at Fox Literary, fetched an advance rumored to be in the six-figure range, and the book is scheduled for fall 2013. There is also strong interest in the title--Disney said it was pitched as "a cross between The Terminator and The Time Traveler's Wife"--in Hollywood. The novel, given its comparative titles, unsurprisingly has a time travel element; it's about two teenage girls, the wealthy and popular Marina and the impoverished (and imprisoned) Em, who are, in actuality, the same person.
I KNOW you want to hear the rest of her exciting story in her own words, and hear all about the book itself (which is really special) so please stop over to visit her blog. You'll be glad you did.

Dinamo Zagreb earns draw vs. Kiev
Ivan Krstanovic guaranteed Dinamo Zagreb their first goal and first point of a dismal Champions League Group A campaign when he fired home an injury-time penalty to earn a 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kiev.
Despite long since being eliminated from the competition, Krstanovic's goal sparked wild celebrations among the Croatian fans while the visitors settled for a parachute place in the Europa League.
Despite the match being temporarily delayed due to heavy snow in the first half, Zagreb started with plenty of intent, with Luis Ibanez seeing a long-range shot blocked by Ognjen Vukovic and a Duje Cop effort rebounding off the bar.
Cop and teammate Jorge Sammir both came close again as the hosts continued to impress while the Ukrainians seldom threatened, their best chance coming when Zagreb keeper Ivan Kelava fumbled a Miguel Veloso cross.
But after Sammir had missed another fine chance for the hosts, the visitors grabbed a scarcely deserved lead on the stroke of half-time when Andriy Yarmolenko drove home a fine opener from the edge of the box.
Ibanez missed a chance to equalize early in the second half but conditions ensured chances were at a premium, with both sides guilty of hitting speculative long balls towards their stranded strikers.
Fatos Beqiraj should have done better with a great chance in the 65th minute which he flashed wide of target, while a dangerous-looking cross by Sime Vrsaljko was gathered by Kiev keeper Maksym Koval eight minutes later.
Zagreb continued on their admirable quest to have something to show from their efforts in the group stage, Krstanovic driving in a close-range shot only for it to be blocked in the box by Ebert Betao, before Kelava wasted a good free-kick.
Then, with over five minutes of stoppage time played, Zagreb finally got their reward when Kiev keeper Koval was ruled to have fouled Krstanovic in the box, allowing the striker to step up to the spot and sweep the equalizer into the bottom corner.

Colorado casino smoking study had flaws, industry official points out
We appreciate it when a quick blog post prompts a pointed and thoughtful response from people who are interested in that health topic, and the post about a smoking ban and ambulance calls to Colorado casinos had that effect.
Lois Rice of the Colorado gaming industry said the study, which purported to show a connection between an extension of the smoking ban to casino floors and a subsequent drop in ambulance calls in Gilpin County, could not factor in some important variables. I'll simply print her whole letter to us here:
"It is important that some flaws with this study in Monday's health blog be pointed out.
"While the Colorado Gaming Association respects the legislature's decision to repeal the casinos' exemption to the smoking ban in 2008, we would encourage readers of this study to be cautious of the results. Colorado's casino smoking ban went into effect just as the nationwide recession took hold, resulting in a 17%-22% reduction in casino visitation during 2008-09. The study itself states that it did not account for several factors to determine a direct causal effect of the smoking ban to the reduction of ambulance calls in Gilpin County. Accordingly, the sheer reduction of casino visitation due to the economy and other factors probably resulted in the drop in ambulance calls. The study states that its failure to explore statistical data about the patients or their smoking status made it impossible "to differentiate events possibly related to smoking or secondhand smoke (e.g. cardiovascular, respiratory) from events not likely to be related."
"We would encourage jurisdictions exploring the effect of smoking bans to include other empirical research in their analyses."
Lois A. Rice, CAE
Executive Director
Colorado Gaming Association

My Gluten Free Bread Flour Blend
Wrote about this on my blog the other day and thought I may as well post it her too :)
Bread Flour – 450g
180g corn starch (often called cornflour here in the UK)
125g sorghum flour
85g stone ground white rice flour
60g red teff flour
And there you have it! Blended together, these make a really great versatile flour. This much flour will require around 20g psyllium dissolved in 450ml water, 10g salt, and 7g of yeast to make a basic loaf. My favourite additions to this at the moment are sundried tomatoes and basil.

Change Up Your Rental Kitchen Tile: Temporary Mibo Tile Tattoos from 2Jane
Ah, the limitations of rental kitchens. There's only so much you can do without blowing your security deposit, and ripping out the backsplash tile probably isn't one of them. But covering up that tile is, provided you use these removable tile "tattoos" from 2Jane. With over 63 designs and colors to choose from, you can go graphic, whimsical, colorful, vintage-inspired, or — if you're trying to get rid of a tile design you already have — all white!
Mibo tile tattoos come on white or clear backgrounds, and are perfectly sized to fit standard 4" or 6" tiles. Want to cover up your old tiles completely? Then go for the white background tiles, which are thick enough to completely obscure the tile underneath. If you like your current tile but just want to give it some personality with a new design on top, opt for the clear background tiles, which let the original tile color show through.
To install the tattoos, just wet with water and apply, then peel off at any time. There should be no residue left behind, which makes this renter-approved.
Have you ever tried Mibo's tile tattoos?

You might also decide to put your telephone number in a slightly different color than the rest of the page, but don't make it entirely obvious.

Ravens suffer 'T.K.O.' in AFC championship
The Ravens' locker room following a crushing AFC title game loss to the New England Patriots had the atmosphere of a funeral. It was preceded by abject failure from two culprits: kicker Billy Cundiff botching a chip-shot field goal and wide receiver Lee Evans flubbing a potential touchdown catch. Evans hid his tears, burying his face in both hands as he sat alone at his locker stall. Teammates kindly stopped by to express sympathy. Evans composed himself and uttered these words in his final act as a Raven before being cut in the offseason: "The most disappointing part is that I feel personally that I let everybody down. Nobody else can take the fall for that. It's as tough as it gets." Cundiff was a standup guy, facing the music with no excuses. He knew he had blown it, hooking his rushed kick wide left. "There's really no excuse for it," said Cundiff, who lost his job to Justin Tucker last summer. "You know Ray Lewis has poured his heart out, and you don't know how many years he has left. To let him down is pretty tough." Walking next to Cal Ripken Jr., owner Steve Bisciotti wore a grim expression on his face. A promising season had ended on a chilly Massachusetts day. The mood was broken up a bit by the odd sight of safety Ed Reed crooning the Teddy Pendergrass classic, "Love TKO." The lyrics: "Think I'd better let it go, looks like another love T.KO. Takin' the bumps and the bruises ... Of all the things of a two-time loser, tryin' to hold on, faith is gone. It's just another sad song. I think I'd better let it go." And so the Ravens did, undone by Cundiff's and Evans' huge mistakes. -- Aaron Wilson

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Each and every Friday we offer songs by local artists. Today's selection, featured on the Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole, is "Pleasuring the Divine" by Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter from their latest album Marble Son, available from Station Grey Records.
Any successful band needs to strike the right balance between moving forward musically and retaining those intangible elements that attracted their fans to them in the first place. Seattle-based Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter just released their fourth full-length album, Marble Son, on their own imprint label, Station Grey, earlier this week, and it marks a bold turn from the alt-country/folk found on previous efforts. Though darker themes have always been present in her lyrics, these songs are heavier both in theme and musicality and seem to be tangled up somewhere between country and psych rock. This shouldn't be a surprise to those who have followed her career for some time and noted recent collaborations and tours with bands part of the art metal movement surrounding LA label Southern Lord records, especially her collaboration with Sunn O)))/Boris on "Alter" which opened up a wider audience for this songstress.
But, the change on this new record isn't all about Jesse. Long-time collaborator and co-founder Phil Wandscher co-produced the album with Jesse and co-wrote more of the music on this record than ever before, and on it he taps into that secret spot of you that wants more. Wandscher unleashes blazing guitar work on songs like today's Song of the Day, "Pleasuring the Divine," which takes listeners on a roller coaster ride between a sonic frenzy and cool, calm beauty to compliment Sykes' powerful voice.
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter just played their CD release show last night at Showbox at the Market with The Sadies, who will be sharing a bill with them for a few more West Coast dates this month. But never fear, if you missed them yesterday, you can check them out at a FREE in-store performance at Easy Street Records in Queen Anne on 8/21 or listen to their recent KEXP in-studio from our Live Performances archive. More dates and info can be found on their website.
We rushed this out just for you. Here they are playing "Come to Mary" from their in-studio session a few days ago:

Winter may be here, but good fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities are plentiful
For Washingtonians, the start of the new year is prime time to fish for winter steelhead, dig razor clams and enjoy the annual spectacle of bald eagles, snow geese, elk and other wintering wildlife.
Other possibilities include sturgeon fishing, which opens Jan.1 from the mouth of the Columbia River to McNary Dam, and hunting for ducks and geese during seasons that run through Jan. 30 in most areas of the state.
But winter weather is an important consideration wherever you go. Ice fishing can be a dicey proposition in most parts of the state and heavy rains can render a river "unfishable" - even dangerous - virtually overnight.
"Preparation is essential for any outdoor activity, especially in winter," said Mike Cenci, deputy enforcement chief for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"Check the weather conditions, river conditions and road conditions - and let people know where you're going before you head out," advises Cenci.
And, of course, wear warm, waterproof clothes. "We don't get a lot of T-shirt weather in January," Cenci said.
For those looking to avoid the crowd and witness wildlife in its natural habitat, Bald eagles are now on display from the Skagit Valley to Lake Roosevelt. Bald eagles can also be observed feeding on spawned-out coho salmon at Oak Creek and along the Yakima River. Also, snow geese and other migratory birds are gathering throughout the coastal lowlands. Wintering elk are also on view in a number of areas, including the feeding station at Oak Creek Wildlife Area northwest of Yakima off Highway 12.
For anglers looking to reel in salmon, coastal areas currently open for fishing include marine areas 7 (San Juan Islands), 8-1 (Deception Pass, Hope Island and Skagit Bay), 8-2 (Port Susan and Port Gardner) and 10 (Seattle/Bremerton). Anglers fishing those marine areas have a two-salmon daily limit, but must release wild Chinook salmon.
Winter is also prime time to jig for squid in Puget Sound. Good spots include the Elliott Bay Pier in Seattle and the Edmonds Pier. More information on squid fishing is available on the state wildlife department's website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/squid/. Information on fishing piers is available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/piers/.
Closer to home, winter steelhead are still the name of the game for anglers in the Columbia River Basin, although several other fisheries are beginning to compete for anglers' attention. Sturgeon fishing reopens Jan. 1 from the mouth of the Columbia to McNary Dam, and state hatchery workers have begun planting dozens of regional lakes with thousands of rainbow trout.
Anglers continue to reel in hatchery steelhead from portions of the Columbia and Snake rivers, although the lure of bigger fish will undoubtedly prompt some to switch gears. Starting Jan. 1, Lake Umatilla - also known as the John Day Pool - will reopen for retention of white sturgeon that measure 43 to 54 inches from their snout to the fork in their tail.
Anglers planning on taking part in the fishery should be aware that the annual sturgeon quota for Lake Umatilla is 165 fish, said Paul Hoffarth, a regional fish biologist. "In recent years, the quota has been reached in a couple of months, so I'd advise anglers to get out early if they want to take a sturgeon home for dinner," he said.
Another option is Lake Wallula (McNary Pool), including the Snake River below Ice Harbor Dam, which will reopen for sturgeon retention Feb. 1.
Meanwhile, steelhead fishing has been up and down, typical of the winter fishery, said Hoffarth, who noted that some of the best catches on the Columbia River have been reported in the Ringold area. In the Tri-Cities area, the fishery is open for retention of hatchery steelhead from John Day Dam upstream to the wooden power line towers at the old Hanford town site through March 31, 2011.
Another section of the Hanford Reach is open to fishing for hatchery steelhead from the Highway 24 bridge (Vernita Bridge) upstream to Priest Rapids Dam. Fishing in that area, which opened Dec. 8, is one of a number of angling opportunities funded by the Columbia River Salmon and Steelhead Endorsement Fee.
The lower Snake River is also open for the retention of hatchery steelhead through March 31. The daily limit in the Snake River is three hatchery steelhead and barbless hooks are required.
Walleye fishing can get slow in winter, but there's always a chance of catching a lunker. Hoffarth said some of the largest walleye of the year are boated during the winter months near the Tri-Cities - including the 19.3-pound state record taken in Lake Wallula in 2007.

MOSCOW — Ukraine's fugitive president turned up in Russia on Thursday and masked gunmen seized government buildings in the Crimean region as tension built over the direction of the country's revolution.
The day's developments left Russia trying to maintain a delicate balance between assuring the West that it would not intervene and members of Ukraine's Russian-speaking minority that it would seek to protect their rights.
5:55 a.m.UPDATE:
Russian marines are blocking a Ukraine coast guard unit in Sevastopol. About 30 gunmen surrounded the unit Friday morning, the UNIAN news agency reported. The coast guard officers identified the gunmen as Russian...

Never miss another 'Milton Jones' show
Milton Jones Is Out There: Milton Jones
Milton Jones is Out There. No, really out there and this time he hasn't just forgotten his keys. He's holding up the mirror of truth to society, and he can see right through it, which means its probably just a window.
In his brand new show he'll be putting his foot down and lifting the lid on the pedal bin of lies of the media (which doesn't include this press release obviously). He will also be scaling the heights of fashion at the risk of falling into a terrible cravat.
Milton will be talking about his life so far - the ups, the downs and why buying his own see-saw was the best decision he ever made. But perhaps he should give all this up and seek the highest office in the land - but how do you get a desk and a swivel chair up a mountain?
Oh and now he wants to be Prime Minister too. Can we do worse than the politicians we already have? Yes we can!
Milton Jones
Milton Jones? You know, the weird bloke with the shirts from Mock The Week! Comedian, writer and actor, whose stand-up is full of surrealism, nonsense and sharp wit. His style of humour is based on mostly one-liners involving puns. Jones has had various shows on BBC Radio 4, at the beginning of which he is sometimes announced as 'Britain's funniest Milton'.
'The wild-haired Jones has raised wordplay to the level of fine art' (Radio Times)
'He's fast, absurd and very funny' (Radio Times)
'No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride' (The Guardian)
'The best one-line merchant in British Comedy' (Chortle).
'Absurdist, one-line masterpieces' (The Times).
Milton Jones was named in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians of 2015.

UtechSmart Gaming Mice Roundup Review
UtechSmart Gaming Mice Introduction:
It's that time again for another mouse review! Today we'll take a look at two mice from a company you may not have heard of before: UtechSmart. The two mice are actually similar to mice that companies Anker and Perixx also brand and sell; identical in appearance, but the UtechSmart actually saves the wallet a few dollars. So you might see these two I'm about to share with you from other companies, but let's stay specific here as these two are both from UtechSmart: the UtechSmart 8200DPI Precision Laser Gaming Mouse with nine programmable buttons, adjustable weight, and 8000DPI; and the UtechSmart 8000 DPI High Precision Laser Gaming mouse mouse with eleven programmable buttons, adjustable weight, and 8200DPI. Each mouse has its own small features to brag about, which I'll cover throughout the review. The key part of this review will be the affordability of each of these mice at $29.99 and $37.99, respectively.
As a side note, or rather a note of clarification: Since the naming of each mouse isn't too unique other than the 8200 DPI versus 8000 DPI portion, I will in short refer to them as such – the UtechSmart 8200 and the UtechSmart 8000 respectively. This will keep us both straight in the discussion ahead.
UtechSmart Gaming Mice Closer Look:
The boxes the UtechSmart mice are packaged in is your simple plastic shell with a cardboard box. I will say it is a unique box rather in its style than its physical appearance. Most mice boxes have a plastic shell holding the mouse so that you can see it from some cutout window in the box. Then the box usually opens up at the top similar to a standard cereal box and then you have to rip and pull at it to get it out; forget about ever putting it back in. This box on the other hand stays smart! It uses the idea of stacking to make a reasonable box. It opens more like a shoe box, pulling up from the front. A couple round stickers hold it closed on the back, but cut these away and it's (in my opinion) a perfect box. Anyway, enough about how practical the box is. The box graphics are otherwise rather simple. The 8200 comes packaged in a dull flat black while the 8000 comes in glossy black. They are near identical in packaging besides the blacks and the listed specifications on the back. It's pretty simple, but let's dive in on the mice rather than talk all day about the boxes. Wouldn't you agree?
Pulling everything out of the boxes, there's a bit more to see than just mice and manuals. Each mouse comes with a pack of weights (in their own little tins), some warranty/user information, and the 8200 even comes with extra skates and some tweezers for your face!! (Well really, for the weights I guess, in case you can't handle the itty-bitty weights). Either which way, they both appear quite nice at first glance. They have the slightly cheaper feal to them, but really are much better than your stock Dell mouse and of course they are going to light-up; who can pass that up? I don't have preference for either one yet by appearance alone; they both are pretty neat looking. The 8200 does however have a blue and black braided cable, which I think is a little neat; but it is a darker blue, so it's not too easy to notice across your desk. Anywho, let's move on to find out more.

Director: Samir. With: Ella Shohat, Shimon Ballas, Samir Naqqash, Moishe Houri. (95 min.)
Sterritt **** Engrossing documentary about the social, cultural, and political conundrums faced by Israeli citizens whose Jewish background is rooted in the Sephardic tradition of Arab countries rather than the Ashkenazi heritage of immigrants from European nations. Articulate interviews and an unusually creative visual style make the picture as lively to watch as it is illuminating to think about. In English, Arabic, and Hebrew with English subtitles.
Director: Edward Zwick. With: Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe, Timothy Spall, Billy Connelly. (144 min.)
Sterritt ** See review.
Director: A. Dean Bell. With: Emily Grace, Judith Ivey, Bill Raymond. (97 min.)
Sterritt *** A teenage runaway is taken in by a pair of older nomads who spend their days seeing the USA in their SUV, and their nights in more dubious activities. Gradually the youngster is drawn into their way of life, which is sleazy enough to give "trailer trash" a bad name. The subject is sordid, but the movie's attitude is ultimately hopeful and life-affirming. The screenplay by director Bell is packed with surprises, and the acting is excellent.
Director: Bo Welch. With Mike Myers, Kelly Preston, Alec Baldwin, Dakota Fanning. (71 min.)
Sterritt * Dismal adaptation of Dr. Seuss's classic book, about a magical cat who coaxes two kids into having mischievous fun while their mom's away. Myers plays the title feline as if he were a borscht-belt comedian without a speck of talent, and Welch's frenetic style is more like a Freudian fever dream than a children's amusement. In all, jaw-droppingly miscalculated.
Staff * Irritating, Cat-astrophic, inappropriate for kids.
Sex/Nudity: 4 scenes with innuendo. Violence: 10 scenes of mild violence, mostly played for laughs. Profanity: 1 profanity, and several scenes of vulgarity, crudity. Drugs: 2 scenes with alcohol.
Director: Wayne Kramer. With: William H. Macy, Maria Bello, Alec Baldwin, Paul Sorvino. (101 min.)
Sterritt **** The title character is a guy whose luck is so bad it's contagious, which makes him valuable to a Las Vegas casino that uses him to cool the good fortune of gamblers winning too much at the tables. Look for realism and you'll be disappointed. Look for a contemporary fairy tale, and you'll find this an oddly engaging yarn. Macy is at his inimitable best, with Baldwin and Bello close behind.
Director: Mathieu Kassovitz. With: Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr., Penélope Cruz, Charles S. Dutton. (97 min.)
Sterritt ** Accused of murdering her husband, a psychiatrist (Berry) is forcibly committed to her own mental institution, where her colleagues have trouble believing her growing realization that an evil ghost is behind the whole tragic misunderstanding. Great cast, great atmosphere, little sense or first-rate suspense.
Staff **1/2 Dark, eerie, grisly.
Sex/Nudity: 1 instance of nudity, 2 innuendos. Violence: 15 instances of violence, including rape and sexual torture. Profanity: 5 profanities. Drugs: 3 scenes with smoking.
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu. With: Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio Del Toro, Clea DuVall. (125 min.)
Sterritt **** A car crash sets off events affecting two sisters with emotional problems, a former thug who's now a Christian, an ailing professor, and his wife, who wants to have a baby. The title refers to the weight a body supposedly loses when its soul leaves the material world, a notion Iñárritu uses as a metaphor for the limitations of our ability to understand the enigmas of the human experience.
Directors: Aaron Blaise, Robert Walker. With voices of: Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Clarke Duncan. (85 min.)
Sterritt ** This old-fashioned animation tells the story of three native-American brothers, one of whom is mysteriously turned into a bear as a path to redemption from his human faults. All the old Disney trademarks are here, except the wit and surprise that were once the studio's stock in trade.
Staff **1/2 Warm, scenic, enthralling storyline.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 8 scenes. Profanity: None. Drugs: None.
Director: Jon Favreau. With: Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Edward Asner. (92 min.)
Sterritt **** Buddy was raised at the North Pole by Santa but when he learns he's an adopted human rather than an everyday elf, he heads for Manhattan to meet his dad, a Scrooge-like executive. The cast is perfect, and David Berenbaum has written a smart and funny sugarplum of a screenplay. Feel free to open before Christmas, or any other time of year.
Staff *** Sprightly, festive, good-hearted fun.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 4 scenes of violence, including a beating. Profanity: 2 mild profanities. Drugs: 5 scenes with alcohol, 1 scene with smoking.
Director: Ron Minkoff. With: Eddie Murphy, Marsha Thomason, Terence Stamp, Wallace Shawn. (88 min.)
Sterritt ** Hoping to land a commission, two married real-estate brokers and their kids visit a spooky old manor containing a mysterious young man, his weirded-out butler, and ghosts galore. While this uneven horror comedy may supply giggles and shivers to the preteens it's aimed at, grownups won't find anything they haven't seen before. Stamp's portrayal of the butler is fun, though.
Director: Jim Sheridan. With: Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Djimon Hounsou, Emma Bolger. (103 min.)
Sterritt ** An actor emigrates from Ireland to New York with his wife and young daughters, moving into a scruffy tenement and hoping he'll achieve some success before overwhelming poverty gets the better of them all. The story has too many trite moments, but strong acting and a goodhearted attitude keep it afloat.
Staff ***1/2 Touching, genuine, take some tissues.
Sex/Nudity: 3 sex scenes, 2 instances of innuendo. Violence: 1 scene. Profanity: 4 instances. Drugs: 1 scene of drinking.
Director: Richard Curtis. With: Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Laura Linney. (128 min.)
Sterritt * Set in London during the Christmas season, this overstuffed romantic comedy tells intertwined tales about the prime minister and an assistant he's infatuated with, his sister and her straying husband, a rock star who hates the holiday song he's just recorded, and plenty more. The cast glitters but the storytelling falls flat, relying on bathroom humor and needless nudity.
Staff *** Charming, light, impressive cast.
Sex/Nudity: 3 sex scenes, 7 instances of innuendo, including scenes with nudity. Violence: Mostly comic violence. Profanity: 26 instances. Drugs: 9 scenes of drinking.
Director: Peter Weir. With: Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd, James D'Arcy. (138 min.)
Sterritt **** During the Napoleonic Wars, Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey plays an oceanic cat-and-mouse game from Brazil to the Galápagos Islands as he tries to get the better of an enemy ship. Based on novels by Patrick O'Brian, this rip-roaring epic combines edge-of-your-seat battle scenes with vivid historical details and more fascinating characters than most action movies dream of. Add heartfelt acting and superbly atmospheric camera work and you have the adventure movie of the year.
Staff *** Captivating, masterfully atmospheric, gory.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 15 scenes of extended warfare, including flogging, amputation. Profanity: 9 profanities. Drugs: 11 instances of drinking, 1 of smoking.
Directors: The Wachowski Brothers. With: Keanu Reeves, Jada Pinkett Smith, Laurence Fishburne. (129 min.)
Sterritt ** The trilogy concludes with lots of fighting between the machines - who've trapped humanity in a computer-controlled reality - and humans, struggling for freedom. This is basically a war movie decked out in sci-fi duds, plus touches of New Age hokum to make it seem profound.
Staff *** Stellar special effects, thrilling, poor dialogue.
Sex/Nudity: 1 scene of topless nudity. Violence: 12 scenes of extended violence. Profanity: 20 profanities. Drugs: 1 scene of drinking, 3 of smoking.
Director: Ron Howard. With: Cate Blanchett, Tommy Lee Jones, Evan Rachel Wood, Jenna Boyd. (130 min.)
Sterritt ** A frontier physician (Blanchett) and her estranged father (Jones) search for her young daughter, who's been kidnapped by a native American shaman with evil intentions. Blanchett provides a forceful center of gravity for the western, and Jones projects affecting sadness as a white man who has lived with Indians so long he's no longer certain of his own identity. Still, the screenplay often contradicts its supposed celebration of strong women and condemnation of anti-Indian oppression, and the last third is a lackluster barrage of fighting and shooting.
Staff *** Epic, entertaining, gruesome.
Sex/Nudity: 3 instances of innuendo, 1 scene of implied sex. Violence: 23 scenes of violence, including kidnappings, attempted rape. Profanity: 4 profanities. Drugs: 3 scenes with smoking, 5 with drinking.
Director: Richard Donner. With: Paul Walker, Frances O'Connor, Billy Connolly, Anna Friel. (116 min.)
Staff * In this "Stargate" redux, a Yale history professor rides a wormhole back to 14th century France. When he gets stuck there, a group of students time travel to rescue him, landing amid the clanking metal and flying arrows of a Anglo-French battle. Based on Michael Crichton's bestseller, this action film plays more like a comedy filled with TV acting and cliché one-liners. ("They made history together.") See another film, or you'll find yourself wishing you could travel back to change your ticket. By Stephanie Cook Broadhurst
Director: Lauren Lazin. With: Tupac Shakur. (90 min.)
Staff *** The talented and charming rapper Tupac Shakur tells of his rise to fame in an extended interview illustrated by clips from concerts, dramatic films, and news footage. The MTV documentary style can be maddeningly superficial at times, but it can't blunt the eloquence as Tupac narrates his tragic march toward a violent and untimely death. By M.K. Terrell
Staff *** Passionate, intimate, one-sided
Sex/Nudity: 10 instances. Violence: 21 scenes of violence, including beatings and shootings. Profanity: 60. Drugs: 9 instances of drug use, 8 of alcohol, 10 of smoking.

Movie 43
Director: Brett Ratner, James Gunn et al
Running time: 90 mins Released: 25th January 2013
Website: whatismovie43.com
About Movie 43
A series of interconnected short films that follows the exploits of three kids as they search the bowels of the Internet to find a legendary banned film. If the idea of a man dressed as a leprechaun headbutting someone is indescribably hilarious to you, then this film will rock your world. Terrible parents, nerds, menstruation and inspirational sports films are just some of the subjects up for lampooning as all sense of decency and generosity to your fellow man goes out of the window. And it's stuffed to the gills with Hollywood actors doing rude, crass and inappropriate things: from serious Oscar-nominated people like Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman and Terence Howard, to comic actors like Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Anna Faris and Leslie Bibb.

What's on your travel itinerary?
I will be travelling to Vegas in July and also to Toronto in July; New York City in September and Hawaii at Christmas time with family.
Do you have a dream wedding?
I would like a destination wedding either somewhere tropical or I think in Paris. That would be very romantic.
Who is your favorite music artist or band?
I really enjoy trance musica and I like to hear vocals; Emma Hewitt, Sarah Howells, Armin Van Burren, Dash Berlin and Avicii are some of my favorites.
Who motivates and inspires you?
Positive people motivate me and my goals and ambitions motivate me to work hard at being successful in life. My mom inspires me; she had me at a very young age and raised my brother and I at 19 and went to college and worked and still provided us with a good life. I think that must have been very difficult for her.

posted on 25 Apr 2016 | ArticleThe Planned Giving Design Center is pleased to welcome new contributing author Anthony Glomski, Principal and Founder of AG Asset Advisory, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm.
posted on 25 Apr 2016 | ArticleNew author Anthony Glomski makes us aware that there's a new category for giving, that of giving by the tech entrepreneur and that their approaches need to be considered quite differently.
About Us
Anthony's 18 years of diverse roles in financial services has taught him that many entrepreneurs are faced with a dilemma. As business owners, they were responsible for looking out for employees and family, but oftentimes no one was looking after them. Anthony founded his advisory firm to fill that void and now serves a select number of clients who've entrusted their personal, retirement, and legacy assets for management. Together with his strategic partners and staff, he helps affluent clients address their five biggest concerns: preserving their wealth, mitigating taxes, taking care of their heirs, ensuring that their assets aren't unjustly taken, and charitable giving. He uses a consultative process to gain a detailed understanding of his clients' deepest values and goals. He then employs customized recommendations designed to address each client's unique needs and goals beyond simply consulting on investments. In the AG model, a client becomes the CEO of the client's financial life, and AG becomes the client's personal CFO.
Originally from the Midwest, Anthony began his career at KPMG, a Big Four accounting firm in Chicago, where he audited private and publicly traded companies. He then moved to the front line of the investment world while working on the trading floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange and in London in the early days of electronic trading. He relocated to San Francisco in time to experience the height of the dot-com boom firsthand.
Anthony is a widely recognized leader in the financial advisor community. He is an author and public speaker and has made media appearances. He serves on the Tyler Clementi Foundation Board of Directors and is involved with various charities. He's also an avid surfer and a member of the Porsche Club of America. He splits his time between Los Angeles and New York.

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire Health Services has been awarded national accreditation for the fifth consecutive time by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Status as an accredited organization means UNH Health Services has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of accreditation providing the highest quality of care to its patients/clients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation. The accreditation runs for three years.
"The process of meeting the accreditation standards is a team effort that helps make all of us at Health Services accountable to our students, staff, and faculty," said Kevin Charles, assistant vice president for student and academic services and executive director of Health Services. "Accreditation provides an important set of objective standards for a health program to meet that are reviewed by a neutral party to assure that quality health care exists. We have now done this five consecutive times over the past 12 years and I could not be more pleased and proud of the Health Services staff."
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. The survey is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
AAAHC accreditation is specifically for organizations providing medical or diagnostic services in settings where overnight stays are not required, including college health centers, group medical and dental practices, and community health centers. "I have been doing site visits for over 25 years and UNH Health Services is truly one of the best organizations I have surveyed," said Dr. Thomas E. Lipps, occupational medical director at the Bronson Battle Creek Health System in Battle Creek, Michigan. "How lucky the university community is to have these services available to them." Lipps visited UNH for AAAHC in February to assess Health Services' programs and services.
UNH Health Services, which averages more than 20,000 visits a year from students, staff and faculty, is a health and wellness center. In support of the university's academic mission, it is committed to promoting, maintaining and improving the health and well-being of the university community. Health Services also has primary responsibility for addressing public health issues impacting the UNH community. The staff includes physicians, a physician assistant, nurse practitioners, nurses, laboratory and radiologic technologists, wellness educators/counselors, nutritionists, pharmacists, licensed massage therapists, and administrative staff. Services for students include primary medical care, women's health, laboratory, radiology and pharmacy, and health and wellness services on a wide variety of health topics including nutrition, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, sexuality, chronic and acute illnesses, emotional and spiritual health, stress management and wellness.
Health Services opened an employee clinic in 2012. Services include clinical appointments for infections, injuries, acute health problems, workplace injuries, pre-employment physicals and worker's compensation visits, allergy services, and immunizations (travel and others), laboratory, radiology and pharmacy. In addition, massage therapy, biofeedback, and light therapy are available.
"As a residential campus, UNH is like a small town and the success and well-being of our students, faculty and staff are integrally related," said Mark Rubinstein, UNH vice president for student and academic services. "I appreciate the work that our team in Health Services does on behalf of our students and this community. The reaffirmation of national accreditation offers a visible and objective confirmation of the quality of their efforts."
For more information, contact Kathleen Grace-Bishop, director of education and promotion, Health Services, at (603) 862-3823.

It feels like Twitter has been around for an eternity - but in fact the social media site is celebrating its 8th birthday today.
Footballers and fans have flocked to the site since it launched to share their views and interact with one another - or more likely take abuse from trolls.
To celebrate the landmark the good folk over at Twitter have released a tool which allows users to look back at the first message they ever posted.
For some, when Twitter launched it was a more innocent age where they needn't be so guarded - however they'll wish they were now their old messages are being rehashed.
If only because we've got little else better to do with our time we've spent all afternoon looking for the funniest first tweets from famous footballers.

Five weeks ago I had DS and he weighed 8/11. Upon leaving the hospital he was 8/4, at his newborn checkup he was 7/15 and three days later at his circumcision he was 7/13. Over the course of the next few weeks he just looked so skinny to me but was nursing well for the most part (or so I thought because there was no pain), was happy and sleeping as good as can be expected and has adequate wet and dirty diapers.
Out of curiosity I pulled out an old analog baby scale I have and he was only about 7/7 or so. I called my Dr. and to make a long story short I took him in to be weighed on a scale he had been weighed on before. He weighed 7/7 . My Dr. suggested pumping and adding a little formula to it to ensure he is getting enough calories (only a few times a day so I could still nurse) then return next week for another weigh in. If DS lost then we have a problem, if he gains then great and if he stays the same maybe he is just a skinny guy. I am just surprised that he has never returned to his birth weight.
I didn't mind that advice but thought I would see a pediatrician to see how someone else would approach the same situation. I'll spare you the details of the visit but I was in tears as she ranted about hypothyroidism and the chance that he could be going mentally retarded because I waited so long to see someone about the matter. (Honestly, i didn't know I was doing something wrong or I would have had him seen immediately) She could have been a little more gentle in her delivery of her thoughts.
One good thing came from the visit as she had me nurse in front of her and suggested he may not be nursing well. He latches and unlatches a number of times throughout a feeding so maybe he is getting enough milk to just get by until the next feeding but not enough to be nutritious. This is not always the case but does happen a few times a day.
Ultimately I decided to follow my primary care dr's orders until I could see a lactation consultant, who came to my house yesterday. Wouldn't you know it, he nursed better than ever in front of her and never had a problem latching.
I know this post is all over the place but I am worried and having a hard time deciding where to go with it so I have a few questions.
*Any advice for the latch and relatch? If he feeds for 15 minutes on one side I would guess he only eats for about half of that because he is on and off multiple times. I have tried switching sides, which only solves the problem sometimes, I have taken him completely off and stopped feeding for a little while before trying again but nothing seems to solve it.
*Tell me your thoughts on his weight. It seems to be holding steading over the last 7 days at 7/7, so no loss but no gain. If you have experience, please share.
*Any information on hypothyroidism? I am not drawing any conclusions but I do want to be educated on the matter. I've done research online but would be interested in hearing personal stories if anyone has one to share.
Thank you in advance.

text: The Metropolitan Museum of Art's earliest roots date back to 1866 in Paris, France, when a group of Americans agreed to create a "national institution and gallery of art" to bring art and art education to the American people. On April 13, 1870, The Metropolitan Museum of Art was incorporated in New York City. On November 20 of that same year, the Museum acquired its first object, a Roman sarcophagus. On March 30, 1880, the Museum opened to the public at its current site in Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street.The Museum's collections continued to grow throughout the rest of the nineteenth century. The Museum's Beaux-Arts Fifth Avenue facade and Great Hall, designed by the architect and founding Museum Trustee Richard Morris Hunt, opened to the public in December 1902. The Evening Post reported that at last New York had a neoclassical palace of art, "one of the finest in the world, and the only public building in recent years which approaches in dignity and grandeur the museums of the old world." By the twentieth century, the Museum had become one of the world's great art centers. The ancient Egyptian hippopotamus statuette that is now the Museum's unofficial mascot, "William," entered the collection in 1917. Today, the Museum's collection includes nearly two million works of art, tens of thousands of which are on view in its 2.4-million-square-foot building along Fifth Avenue at any given time.Thomas P. Campbell became the ninth director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in January 2009, following the thirty-one-year tenure of Philippe de Montebello. Through fellowships and professional exchanges, ongoing excavation work, traveling exhibitions, and many other international initiatives, the Museum continues in the twenty-first century to fulfill its mission and serve the broadest possible audience.

Qld council gets crafty with mobile data mining
Logan's mobility run
South East Queensland's Logan City Council has implemented a mobile strategy that assists the local council in data collection and deployment of business services.
The experimental council, with a population of 280,000, recently completed a trial with Rype, a Queensland-headquartered mobile and cloud integration consultancy, to provide a mobile data collection solution allowing Council inspectors to spend more productive time out in the field rather than being back in the office shuffling paper.
Council officers trialled two inspection forms, one for food premises and one for nuisance trees and used iPads as the device of choice but have endured that the system works across multiple mobile devices.
Working with BlinkMobile Interactive, an Australian Platform-as-a-Service provider, the council has now launched a service which enables the rapid creation and deployment of customised electronic forms that can be completed and uploaded to Council systems using a variety of commonly available tablets, phones and laptops.
The Blink Mobility Platform provide the capabilities to build and deploy many different mobile services allowing Council to simply extend mobile services to improve it customer focus and allow Council to receive customer requests online in real-time from a mobile customer.
During the pilot programme, Rype designed the processes and interfaces to take the critical inspection data recorded in BlinkForms along with the ability to upload it into Council's Pathway system. The process ensured that a complete record of the inspection which includes photos and GPS would be saved in the enterprise document management system and synched automatically .
Logan City Council Chief Information Officer, Jim Barclay said it would look into rolling out the use of the mobile technology across all Council departments such as Development Assessment, Animal and Pest Services, Road Infrastructure Management and Parks where officers are required to be out in the field and report information back to Council. ®

Idaho woman charged with sending relative threatening stick-figure drawing
A woman who was about to be released from an Idaho prison will stay behind bars a while longer because federal prosecutors say she mailed a threatening stick figure drawing to a relative.
Linda Joyce Lakes was serving time at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center on probation violations stemming from a 2007 grand theft sentence, and she was scheduled to be released last Friday. But earlier this month, the U.S. attorney's office charged her with mailing threatening communications, a felony.
Prosecutors say that in 2010, Lakes mailed a drawing that apparently depicted a battered stick figure alongside threatening phrases such as "No tears," ''No hiding," and "No more you."
Kyle Wright, an FBI agent in Pocatello who investigated the case, described the drawing in a court document.
"One stick figure appeared to be lying down with his face smashed. The baseball bat was lying nearby with damage that appeared to be consistent with its use on the first stick figure. The second stick figure appeared to be walking away with a smile," Wright wrote.
Wright also said in his affidavit that Lakes sent a letter with the drawing that indicated her prison sentence was coming to an end and that the recipient should be prepared for his final moments.
The FBI agent also said that Lakes told the FBI her drawing symbolized her hate for a man who had abused her in the past, and that one day she wanted to beat and possibly kill him.
Lakes was released from the state prison and taken into federal custody. She waived her preliminary hearing on the charge and has not yet entered a plea.
Lisa Tolle, a paralegal with Federal Defender Services of Idaho in Pocatello, said her office had just been assigned the case and attorneys had not yet fully reviewed it.
