STILLWATER, Okla., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Naadir Tharpe scored the deciding points with 17 seconds left in a second overtime Wednesday, giving No. 9 Kansas a 68-67 win over 14th-ranked Oklahoma State.
The dramatic victory came after Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart had missed chances at the buzzer in both regulation and the first extra period.
Kansas (22-4, 10-3 Big 12 Conference) is tied for the lead in the league race with rival Kansas State.
The Jayhawks took a 66-65 lead with 1:01 remaining in the second overtime on two free throws from Jeff Withey, but the Cowboys went back in front on a jumper by Markel Brown with 52 seconds left.
After Tharpe's jump shot lifted Kansas into the lead, Brown missed a fadeaway jump shot that could have given the Cowboys the win.
Travis Releford led Kansas with 18 points and Withey had 17 points with 14 rebounds.
Oklahoma State (19-6, 9-4) got 20 points from Brown and 16 from Smart.

I have the same issue, I can upload files from within review but I can't sign in from the CS review panels of InDesign or photoshop. Everytime I try I get the same "Internal error occured please try again"
I have updated all my adobe products, restarted, nothing.
There is another desktop in my office that is able to use the system as intended.
Any help ? I hate abandon the product for what seems like a log in issue.

Same issue here, can't get Screen Sharing to work anymore. What up. Any users have any ideas why I can't share my screen in Illustrator to show designers what to do?
3. Re: Internal errorKulincz Jul 5, 2011 10:30 AM (in response to Yichalal)
I have the samo problem, have anybody some solutions this trouble ? I am windows user and when I want to log in to CS Live services, the form write me this notice: "An internal error occurred. Please try again."
Please I'm desperate. Thnx for suggestions.
4. Re: Internal errorametee Jul 8, 2011 5:59 AM (in response to Yichalal)
I too am having the same problem in InDesign-- can't connect to CS Review-- it says "An Internal Error Occurred. Please try again" But I can't do anything since it won't even let me sign in through InDesign-- all the tabs in CS Live are inactive. What a piece of crap-- c'mon Adobe.
Has this problem been resolved... anyone?
5. Re: Internal errorPeter John Greenwood Jul 25, 2011 3:06 AM (in response to ametee)
same issue here but works on my laptop but internal error from the desktop mac. Any suggestions on resolving this would be greatly appreciated!
6. Re: Internal errorPeter John Greenwood Jul 25, 2011 3:24 AM (in response to Peter John Greenwood)
Further to my previous post, just done some testing and all working perfectly from the laptop so I'm thinking this is a case of the ID on the desktop getting a bit confused on login. Does anybody know if prefs or a plylist file delete would refresh the CS Review details?
7. Re: Internal errorohioFatboy Jul 29, 2011 6:30 AM (in response to Yichalal)
Same error here. Would really like to find a solution to this.
8. Re: Internal errorKulincz Jul 29, 2011 6:38 AM (in response to Yichalal)
There is a few other people with the same issue. Adn I ask, where is some adobe support to find solution for this problem ?
9. Re: Internal errorPeter John Greenwood Aug 2, 2011 2:11 AM (in response to Kulincz)
My issue has been solved with the help of a kind Adobe tech guy. I deleted the CS Live keychain password (Mac os) and that resolved the issue for me.
10. Re: Internal errorYichalal Aug 3, 2011 6:41 AM (in response to Peter John Greenwood)
deleting the keychain entry works. You just need to login again. Thanks Mr Greenwood.
11. Re: Internal errorFrans van der Geest Aug 10, 2011 8:18 AM (in response to Yichalal)
What is the keychain entry called? I don't have a keychain entry saying 'CS Live' on my Mac... And I can no longer log in (Service not available)
12. Re: Internal errorPeter John Greenwood Aug 10, 2011 8:40 AM (in response to Frans van der Geest)
something along the lines of....
Adobe CS Live 1.0-com.adobe.renga
13. Re: Internal errorFrans van der Geest Aug 10, 2011 8:47 AM (in response to Peter John Greenwood)
Got it.
Deleted it.
Didn't help... :-(
14. Re: Internal errorPeter John Greenwood Aug 10, 2011 8:56 AM (in response to Frans van der Geest)
try closing all your apps and restarting your computer with your internet connection unplugged..... then try a login to cs live.... that sometimes clears the guff out. Obviously it wont connect but for some reason it sometimes helps. Reconnect to the internet and try again. Good luck!
15. Re: Internal errorKulincz Aug 10, 2011 9:04 AM (in response to Yichalal)
How I can delete file with pass information of CS Live? And what file is it? I am Windows user. Thank you for suggestions.
16. Re: Internal errorohioFatboy Aug 11, 2011 9:17 AM (in response to Kulincz)
I am on Windows too, and could not find a file to delete like the Mac people are doing.
This is a little long, sorry, but I wanted to detail what happened to me. I hope that this helps others.
Here is what I believe broke it for me. I installed the suite on two machines. On the first machine I set everything up, but when I tried to login to CS Live through one of the programs I was told that my email address was not validated. I clicked "resend email validation" and went home. I then installed the suite at home and tried the CS Live login again and again got the email validation error. I checked my email and received no messages from adobe asking for me to confirm my email. I then logged in to may adobe account through the web site and changed my adobe ID to a different email address. I went back into dreamweaver and clicked CS Live and logged in with the new email address. Again I was asked to validate my email and clicked resend email. This time I received the email right away from adobe and validated the new email address. I was then allowed to login to CS Live through any of the programs in the suite. Next day I get back to work and that installation started giving me the error that we are all discussing here. I had an internal error and could find no way to reset or fix it.
Today I finally fixed it:
1. logged in through the web site and changed my Adobe ID back to my original ID that wasn't receiving the validation email.
2. through dreamweaver I tried the CS Live button and it said "Welcome Mike". The internal error was gone, but I still could not get the validation email.
3. still in dreamweaver I clicked "Sign out" on the CS Live button.
4. logged in again through the web site and changed my Adobe ID back to the second ID that had been validated.
5. in dreamweaver I clicked on CS Live button and logged in and everything works. NO ERRORS. finally.
17. Re: Internal errorKulincz Aug 15, 2011 7:25 AM (in response to Yichalal)
It don't work for me :-/ . It's quite long time ago when I try to fix this as windows user. There is nobody with the same problem?
Halo, Adobe, could somebody help me fix this?
Thank you for any suggestions. I'm desperate.
18. Re: Internal errorCentral16 Jan 27, 2012 10:58 PM (in response to Kulincz)
Hey Kulin,
I tried ohioFatboy method and it worked for me. It seems that Premiere (or any other Adobe software) doesn't recognize password changes if you don't log out first.
To fix it, just go to Adobe.com and change your password back to the one that Premiere recognized, then go to Premiere and log out from the CS Live Menu that resides within Premiere. Then go back to Adobe.com and change your password again.
After doing so, go back to Premiere and try to connect to CS Live. It will ask you for your email and password. Type the new one and that's it.
It worked for me. I'm on Windows 7.
19. Re: Internal errorMonicaGMackenzie May 30, 2012 10:39 AM (in response to Central16)
PLEASE PLEASE HELP! I get Internal error when I try to share my screen in Illustrator CS5 I'm using Windows 7 and NOTHING suggested above works...Please help!!! I have tried EVERYTHING above, (not the Mac stuff ofcourse ), but nothing has solved this issue. Yes even what Ohio Fat boy tried >
People at the costumer service send me here over and over and do not give me a solution. I am desperate! THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

ORLANDO | DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points and Jose Calderon added 15 points and 10 assists, helping the Toronto Raptors to an easy 123-88 victory over the injury-depleted Orlando Magic on Saturday night.
Rookie Ed Davis had 18 points and seven rebounds as Toronto won for the seventh time in eight games. The Raptors, who hit a season-high 15 3-pointers, got 16 points apiece from Kyle Lowry and Terrence Ross.
Rookie Andrew Nicholson led Orlando with a career-high 22 points. Arron Afflalo added 14 points and Ish Smith had 13 points and six assists.
The Raptors hit nine of their first 10 attempts from behind the 3- point line and built a 67-47 halftime lead. Orlando cut the deficit to 76-65 after two free throws by Nicholson with 5:16 left in the third quarter, but that was as close as the Magic would get the rest of the game.
The Magic played without starting point guard Jameer Nelson (hip) and his backup E'Twaun Moore (elbow). But their real problem was at the defensive end.
Orlando repeatedly gave up layups and when they did close down the lane, left Raptors shooters wide open on the perimeter.
Toronto had its best offensive half of the season in the first two quarters, shooting a season-high 58.1 percent and scoring a season-best 67 points. The Raptors hit nine of their first 10 shots from beyond the 3-point line and 10 of 14 for the half.
Pietrus started the run with three 3-pointers in the first seven minutes, the last one tying the game at 19-all. Toronto finished the quarter on a 17-2 run, making its last seven shots, six layups and one 3-pointer.
The Raptors hit six more 3-pointers in the second, five of them by reserves Terrence Ross, Alan Anderson and Kyle Lowry. Calderon made the last of the 3s, stretching their lead to 67-47 when Calderon nailed one from behind the arc just before halftime.

GINGER BRICKS!! PUT UP THAT WALL! (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images North America)
Game Day Recon #69 – Canucks @ Sharks
The Vancouver Canucks have been rolling through their road trip on a winning streak, going 3-for-3. Tonight, they will face their toughest test on this 5 game road trip as they travel to San Jose to take on the red-hot Sharks.
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 6:00 PM PT
The Intel
Two months ago, the San Jose Sharks were in a tail spin. They were in 11th place in the Western Conference and falling. But they are on an absolute tear lately, going 14-3-0 since February 1st, including a stretch of 8 straight wins. They've only allowed a mere 31 goals in those 17 games. They are winning games in a way that the San Jose Sharks don't typically do — with defense. In these past 17 games, despite their amazing run of winning, they've won 9 games by scoring 3 goals or less. And 9 of those 14 wins have been by 1 goal. And all three of their losses have been by 1 goal. Gone are the days of Sharks play wide-open end-to-end hockey and winning games by bombarding the other team. They are winning close, average-scoring (if not, low-scoring) affairs.
The Sharks' one glaring weakness is their penalty kill. They've allowed at least one PPG against in three of the last 4 games, and are ranked 20th overall. At home, the Sharks penalty kill is positively awful, ranked 28th operating at only 77.8%. The Canucks will need to get their power play working against a team that has recently started locking down their defense. One good stat in the Canucks favour is Antti Niemi's career regular season stat line against Vancouver. In 6 career regular season starts against the Canucks, he is 2-4-0 with a 3.17 GAA and a .910 Sv%. Not great stats and the Canucks need to exploit that, despite Niemi's terrific play of late.
One foe with whom the Canucks always have trouble is Joe Thorton. The Canucks need to do their best to keep the puck away from Jumbo Joe. Thornton leads the league in takeaways with 97. He's also 4th in giveaways. So it means the puck is on his stick A LOT. So keep it away from him. Oh, and Thornton, in 33 GP against the Canucks, he has10G 29A for 39 Pts. Controlling the puck with quick movement up-ice needs to be the Canucks primary game plan tonight. And again, keep it away from Thornton. Have I said that? Yeah, do that.
The Canucks will have Cory Schneider in the net tonight, and he's got a great stat line for tonight. Schneider is 3-1-0 on Thursdays with a 1.76 GAA and a .944 Sv% this season. He's also 7-2-1 on the road this season, with a 1.83 GAA and .942 Sv%. Schneider has been a road warrior this season and is arguably the Canucks unsung hero, next to Jannik Hansen this season. In the 17 games that Schneider has started this year, he has let in a measly 5 goals in the first period. He keeps his team in the game early and allows them the opportunity the get the lead, with which they play so well. More of that recipe will serve the Canucks incredibly well tonight against the surging Sharks.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
1. Get your PP mojo working. It's a clear advantage for the Canucks, and against a team that is doing a great job keeping teams from scoring, they need to capitalize on any opportunity the Sharks give them.
2. Control the puck, starting with the faceoff. This will be a real test for the Canucks (who are 1st in the league in FO%) as the Sharks are second in the league in FO%. If the Canucks can control the puck, they can force the Sharks to chase which should lead nicely into …
3. Win this game at even-strength. The Sharks are 28th in ES goals with 112. The Canucks are fifth with 141. However, the Sharks are 4th in ES goals-against with 108, but the Canucks are 5th at 110. So the edge here is clearly that the Canucks know how to score at even strength. They have to flex their muscle here. Controlling the puck (see #2) will allow the Canucks an easier path to getting the puck in the Sharks zone, and hopefully keeping it there, again provided they keep it away from Mr. Takeaway Joe Thornton.

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) – Firefighters are battling a five-alarm fire at a northern New Jersey industrial building that has extended to some adjoining buildings.
At least two firefighters have sustained injuries while battling the blaze, which broke out Sunday morning in Harrison. Their injuries are not believed to be serious.
It's not yet clear what sparked the blaze, which apparently started on the ground floor and spread toward a nearby apartment building. No civilian injuries have been reported.
The fire sent heavy, black smoke spewing from the two-story building in the Hudson County community. Witnesses also reported hearing an explosion shortly after firefighters arrived.
Traffic is being detoured in the area, leading to some travel delays. The fire also forced organizers to re-route a St. Patrick's Day parade being staged in the area.

Todd Stiefel has been a cornerstone in the Rock Beyond Belief movement from the very beginning. Over 5 months ago Todd's organization, the Stiefel Freethought Foundation, pledged $10,000 to make our event a reality. Todd has shared the stage with Richard Dawkins, and has spoken across the globe on behalf of the growing secular movement. We are proud to have him speak at our event.
Todd Stiefel lives in Raleigh, NC. He is a secular humanist, an atheist and full-time freethought activist. Todd currently serves as the Vice President of the Secular Coalition for America and in many other roles in the Freethought Movement. He has given over $3 million dollars to charities in the Freethought Movement. This is highlighted by $2 million to found the Stiefel Freethought Foundation and $500,000 to the Secular Coalition for America Education Fund.
Philanthropy is certainly alive and well in the atheist movement, and Todd Stiefel has been behind a lot of the stories that you've likely read about in the last few years. Check out this impressive list of influential donations.Todd Stiefel comes from a musical family, and his band, Words Such As Burn have agreed to help energize the crowd at Rock Beyond Belief. Though less than a year old, they have already begun getting some local attention. Their mix of covers and originals stays true to rock 'n roll, but aren't afraid to explore the underground territories of indie rock and early punk. Bruce, the lead singer / bass player for Words Such as Burn is also very active in the festival, so we are proud to bring you quasi-nepotism at it's best!
Listen to the band – comprised of Bruce Harris (vocals/bass), Charles Stiefel (keyboards), Chris Holcomb (lead guitar), Sammy Harris (drums) and Todd Stiefel (rhythm guitar):
[soundcloud width="100%" height="81″ params="" url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/11263515″]
The timing is perfect, because we had needed to put more 'rock' in the Rock Beyond Belief. Let me recount a recent harsh, but funny conversation I had.
"Dude, when are you going to change the name of the festival to Talk Beyond Belief?" – Daniel Broach (friend of RBB)
"Hahahahaha… Shut up, you!" – Justin Griffith
We are excited to have Todd Stiefel, and Raleigh-based rockers Words Such As Burn rock out with us at Fort Bragg.

Jeep Grand Cherokees to address a noncompliance issue relating to

Road to Perdition (US - BD)
Gabe takes a much need look back on Sam Mendes' second motion picture...
Following the surprising and sweeping success of American Beauty, first time film director Sam Mendes chose to continue his exploration of family themes in a definitively American setting with a prohibition era retelling of Kazuo Koike's Lone Wolf and Cub Manga entitled Road to Perdition (based on Max Allan Collins' comic of the same name). I hadn't seen the film in eight years, not since its original theatrical release, and had mostly dismissed it as an unmemorable, minor sophomore slump. My memories are, apparently, not to be trusted in all cases.
The plot here follows Michael Sullivan, Sr. (Tom Hanks), a talented Mob enforcer working for John Rooney (Paul Newman). Rooney treats Michael as a surrogate son, often playing favourites over his actual son, Connor (Daniel Craig), who's brash, violent and entitled behaviour is a constant source of contempt. Michael's own family life is certainly gentler than Rooney's, but efforts to keep his work secret from his sons makes for stilted relationships. One night in an effort to solve the mysteries behind his father's work, Michael's oldest son (Tyler Hoechlin) hides in the back of his car and witnesses Connor and Michael at work. Conner, seeing an excuse to rid himself of his rival, takes the opportunity to put a hit out on Michael and his family.
Road to Perdition certainly deserves a second look, and I regret not giving it an open minded once over sooner. At the time of release (in the far away year of 2002) I saw the film's meditative streak as pretentious, and assumed Mendes was revelling too deeply into the more self-important aspects of his first film. Comparisons to Hollywood burnouts like Michael Cimino seemed apt, but in retrospect such readings are unfair. The comparison is still somewhat apt in that it's fair to assume Mendes was drinking a bit of his own Kool Aid, and who wouldn't after sweeping the Oscars his first time as motion picture director (William Friedkin still hasn't gotten over his early success)? The bulk of the film is too sombre, but it's not pretentious, it just suffers a lack of tonal balance. There are funny moments, but they're mostly self-contained, and often feel as if they've fallen out of a Steven Spielberg film into Mendes' lap (which probably isn't a mistake considering Spielberg's interest in Mendes' early career). The comparisons to Cimino's ilk are unfair when one considers the obvious fact that Mendes is learning between the two films, not going crazy with unlimited studio funds. Road to Perdition sees the still new director experimenting with a larger canvas, and trying his hand at filming action. Mendes would press his experimentation perhaps a little too far with his next film, Jarhead (a pointedly dull motion picture), but despite Road to Perdition not being as good as American Beauty overall, his growth as a filmmaker is interesting to watch, especially looking back from almost a decade away.
The enduring problem with the it the basic story, which is far from mishandled in terms of structure, but is generally predictable, and certainly oft-told. This is, of course, a simple case of taste, and to some degree the point. The traditional aspects of the narrative are clearly an intended piece of Mendes' visually poetic puzzle. The simplicity of the story, along with the heavy emphasis placed on the legendary Conrad Hall's cinematography (for which he earned a posthumous Oscar), creates a situation where the actual narrative is so secondary I find myself forgetting about the plot altogether. This might explain why it's been so easy for me to dismiss the film over the years. The utter beauty creates an unfortunate disconnect between the audience and the characters, and makes it difficult to genuinely care about any dramatic events that may occur. The question I can't answer is—is it a case of too much of a good thing, or a good thing stealing control from a relatively green director? Despite Road to Perdition feeling more like a last ditch effort to celebrate Hall's images than a mainstream movie, the strong supporting cast mostly manage to distinguish themselves from all the utter prettiness. I had positively no memory of Daniel Craig, Stanly Tucci, Ciarán Hinds or Dylan Baker being involved with the film, so their appearances, no matter how brief, are all causes for celebration. Hanks' performance, on the other hand, though certainly strong, suffers from his obvious miscasting. The star's presence is continuously overshadowed by the supporting players, especially Jude Law. Law is almost always a strong presence on film, but assassin Harlen Maguire injects the film with real energy every moment he appears on screen. Like a shabby Terminator, Law presents a villain whose threat weighs heavily on the film even when he's far from the action.
This new 1080p high definition transfer is pretty much the best we could ever expect Road to Perdition to look. The film is, as stated, most famous and celebrated for its perfectly old fashioned cinematography and anything less than incredible would be a disappointment. Details levels are, as Sam Mendes discusses in his Blu-ray introduction, the biggest cause for celebration. The details stretch from the most extreme close-ups all the way back to the busiest backgrounds, assuming the focus isn't being pin-pointed to a specific foreground character. The most incredible bits include rainy nights, and black garbed figures set against virgin white snow. Conrad Hall's images are so precise in their contrast that the overall darkness could've very easily have eaten up the smaller highlights. This sharpness leads to very little edge enhancement, with the exception of the otherwise gorgeous final scene between Hanks and Newman, where some of the black silhouettes are surrounded by thin layers of white. The film is practically monochromatic at times, revelling in multiple shades of brown, black and white. Warm browns have always been an issue on standard definition DVD, but here in high definition they're clean, pure and natural. Poppy elements are pretty rare, but there's an interesting consistency in the lightness of eyes, especially Newman and Craig's baby blues. There are some expressively red tinged sequences throughout, usually in scenes defined by violence, and these are just as clean as the more subdued overall palette.
There's no mistaking the filmic qualities of the transfer, including grain, minor flecks of print damage, and some shaking frames. The film grain, which is quite fine, but relatively consistent, looks somehow unnatural. The effect is similar to the Gaussian noise (a term I use as a Photoshop nerd) effect found on Blue Underground's New York Ripper and Django Blu-rays. I'm thinking there was some minor digital noise reduction on the print, and this is the only noticeable side effect. It's not a problem, and it's easy to ignore, I was just slightly thrown by it.
I was expecting this Blu-ray to look great based simply on memories of Conrad Hall's photography, but I was not prepared for such an impressive DTS-HD Master Audio track. There isn't an excess of aggressive sound effects, and the sound design is mostly delegated to the centre track, but Thomas Newman's Celtic-tinged, mournful musical score immediately grips every channel with the highest fidelity available. The instruments are expertly separated throughout the channels without drawing too much unneeded attention to the intricate sound design. Yet it's not all warm music and subtle little stereo events, Road to Perdition is a film about gangsters, and gangsters tend to shoot guns. The first sequence of violence is seen through the eyes of a child who is unprepared for the sound of gunfire. Here the shots verge on deafening, with chest rumbling LFE support, but they don't lose their sharp definition, or become even slightly distorted. This contrasting volume of the gunshots doesn't really ebb throughout the film, and scenes of violence consistently stand out as the most impressive in terms of sound design. The aforementioned speakeasy scene is a great example, with its perfect representation of music seeping from behind walls, and subtle silencing of elements just before the shooting begins.
The extras begin with an introduction from director Sam Mendes, who lets viewers know that the film has never looked better. This is followed by Mendes' solo commentary track. As per the norm the director is well prepared, and informative in terms of subtext, behind the scenes anecdotes, and technical work. The tone isn't buoyant like Mendes' Away We Go group track, but the overall seriousness doesn't equate dull in this case, and there is very little blank space. Occasionally Mendes will point out a repeated or mirrored shot or scene that I totally missed watching the film on my own, and these go a long way in making the film worth re-watching. The sound quality does change noticeably a few times, which isn't distracting, but leads me to believe the track was recorded in pieces.
The featuerettes begin with 'A Cinematic Life: The Art and Influence of Conrad Hall' (26:40, HD), a look at the glorious legacy of Road to Perdition's Academy Award winning cinematographer. Hall's own son, Conrad W. Hall ( Panic Room), acts as the basic narrator, but other cinematography all-stars are featured in an interview capacity including Janusz Kaminski ( Schindler's List, Minority Report), Vilmos Zsigmond ( Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Deer Hunter), Roger Deakins[/i] (almost every great looking Coen Brothers Movie), Owen Roizman ( The Exorcist, Network), Philippe Rousselot ( Interview with the Vampire, Big Fish, Haskell Wexler ( American Graffiti, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), along with Mendes, director Glenn Gordon Caron ( Love Affair), and screenwriter William Goldman ( Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). Not every example of Hall's work is presented in high definition, but most of them are, and it's a huge plus for the featurette, which is all about the beauty of Hall's images. This should've been a full blown, feature length documentary, and is hampered by the lack of non-Paramount release footage (important work only included as stills includes Marathon Man, Electra Glide in Blue and Cool Hand Luke), but is overall a fine celebration of one of Hollywood's most important icons.
'The Library: A Further Exploration of the World of Road to Perdition' (HD) is an interactive series of stills, text and cast and crew interviews that delve a little deeper into the film and the source graphic novel. These include discussions of the plot and fictional characters mixed with the real life inspirations (crime scene photography, Al Capone, Frank Nitti, John Looney, basic era news), and comparisons between the comic and film. I'd personally prefer these were presented as a standard featurette, and don't really like how small the video footage appears on screen (framed within the menu system), but this stuff is quite informative and entertaining. It's actually a little disappointing that so much of the real story surrounding the fictional plot of the film wasn't included, and hasn't been covered in any film before or since.
Next up are eleven deleted/extended scenes (20:10, SD), each available with optional commentary from Mendes. These are great as extras as Mendes was right to take them out of the film for pacing and repetition issues, but none of them are complete throw-aways, and watching them does add a little something to the overall experience. The elongated steady cam shot through the speakeasy is the one bit that probably could've been put back in the film, and the Al Capone sequence is the most exciting inclusion, even if it still has no real place in the finished product. The disc is wrapped up with 'The Making of the Road to Perdition' (25:00, SD), a general EPK featuring some behind the scenes footage and cast and crew interviews, and the original trailer in high definition.
It's been a long time, and my memory was foggy to say the least, but Road to Perdition is worth revisiting, and this new Blu-ray is the perfect excuse. The new high definition transfer shows off Conrad Hall's Academy Award winning cinematography, and the new, uncompressed DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack features fantastic dynamic range. And this isn't just another catalogue dump with ported extras. Besides these A/V upgrades, fans might want to double-dip and dump their old DVD releases for 'A Cinematic Life: The Art and Influence of Conrad Hall' featurette, and the interactive 'The Library: A Further Exploration of the World of Road to Perdition'. All in all this release is a pleasant surprise.

I watched this one a long time ago and didn't think much of it. I was a naive 15 year old at the time though, who probably just wanted to see a bunch of gangster violence. I definitely need to revisit it, and it is nice to see that this has new material and isn't just a catalog release. Thanks for the review.

Interesting to read a logical explanation of why someone would dislike this movie. I never understood it then and especially don't now. I loved this when it came out when I was 17, and I still love it now. I don't buy the criticism as much more than "This guy won an Oscar and there's no way he isn't just smelling his finger this entire movie", but at least you're man enough to cop to it, Gabe.

This is excellent. I prefer it to American Beauty. I have always been a sucker for fantastic cinematography though.
I wonder why Fox USA took so long to release this. Fox Europe released it back in May over here. It's even started to appear in some sales.

Didn't care much for this either when I saw it back in 2002-2003. I'll give it a second chance. Love Mendes' American Beauty.
There's a sequel in the making apparently, called Road to Purgatory, set ten years later centering around Michael Sullivan Jr.

Loved it more than American Beauty, that scene with Hanks and Newman at the piano was particularly memorable for me.

Status Report
From: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Posted: Friday, November 2, 2012
On Sol 84 (Oct. 31, 2012), the Curiosity rover used the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) to capture the set of thumbnail images stitched together to create this full-color self-portrait.
This self-portrait documents the state of the rover and allows mission engineers to track changes over time, such as dust accumulation and wheel wear. Due to its location on the end of the robotic arm, only MAHLI is able to image some parts of the rover, including port-side wheels.
The mosaic shows the rover at "Rocknest," the spot in Gale Crater where the mission's first scoop sampling took place. Scoop scars can be seen in the regolith in front of the rover. A portion of Mount Sharp appears on the right side. Mountains in the background to the left are the northern wall of Gale Crater.
When the rover returns the full-resolution MAHLI frames of the scene, the team plans to generate a more detailed portrait of Curiosity in its Martian neighborhood.

I know people say that Anaru has been getting over dramatic, but I almost bawled when she called Jintan irreplaceable. I'm been there with unrequited love, and it f****** sucks.
Right now, Jintan is really pissing me off. He refuses to let Menma go, not caring that she actually WANTS to go, and being completely oblivious to how the others feel.
I just really hope Yukiatsu doesn't go all MANma again...

At this point, they aren't even suggesting that Menma remaining would be a good end. It's tragic for Jintan, and it's hard to blame him for being unwilling to let her go, but he has to, and it seems she won't leave until he's ready to let her. Jinta needs to grow up and accept what has happened, because the longer he dallies, the harder it is on everyone. Menma's brought them all together again, but these floating diaries, half-measures, and cobbled-together rituals are in some ways driving them all even further apart.
As a lot of us expected, Tsuruko holds the key, possibly in more ways than one. Her haircut suggests that she's no longer trying to replace Menma, and while it might make her more homely, it's very true to who she is. I also would like to double check something with all of you: Is Tsuruko the only member of the Super Peace Busters who has not been shown wrestling with the nagging feeling that she is responsible for the chain of events that lead to the accident? I hate to say it, but if so, the rules of drama suggests that there could be something to the theory that she may have (accidentally) been involved in the tragedy.
The brief check-in with Anaru confirms to me that she's now truly stuck in time. There can be no further development without a major seismic shift; something has to give before she can move forward. It's like a much more immediate and acute analogy to what Jinta has been going through since Menma's death.
I'm convinced - though I'm sure many will disagree - that Anaru and Yukiatsu would be poison for one another at this stage in their lives. Maybe they could each use a good whirlwind romance to clear their heads, but not with each other. Their baggage is too entangled, and there's too much history smoldering between them.
They are going to great pains to show Menma speaking regularly to Jinta's mother. The climax, and the secret almost certainly involve her, or something she said to Menma before she died. Also, like a lot of people said a few episodes ago, Menma's unfinished business is apparently for Jintan, not for herself.
Fine episode. The series is moving at an exhausting pace by necessity, and we could really use a breather now and then so that we don't become weary to the WHAM moments. But hey, el oh el, one cour, and you can't say they aren't making the most of what they have.

I think the next episode will be based around jintan having to let go of Menma. As for the reincarnation thing; I think what Menma was going to tell Jintan was that even if his mother's gone. She may be reincarnated as a flower, something pretty... etc. A comforting gesture of surprise for him I think.
My perspective on this episode? Honestly; I couldn't help but not cry. The emotions that the characters all portrayed was absolutely heartbreaking. Anaru for instance crying on her way home from the secret base after Jintan had finally confessed his feelings. Tsuruko actually confessing her love for Yukiatsu. Aaah; as for Yukiatsu, poor thing; even he can't let go of Menma, the whole wig caressing was a bit much though.
Jintan actually admitting his feelings for Menma aloud was good; except for the whole marrying her ghost... wtf? o.O I'm glad Menma said she wanted to go Heaven, it gives a sense that she's content with everything.
And Poppo! Gaaah! Poppo; my favourite character, the cheerful, outgoing and energetic one of the bunch; when he was constantly saying 'say it...say it...say it...' I couldn't help but be frightened in some sense. Maybe he was there at the incident of Menma's death, no?
Also; Menma's mother decided to come after all. Aaaw; poor Yukiatsu, did you see the reaction on his face when Jintan turned to see Menma? His face just said it all. Argh! Why does it have to end in the next episode :'( WHY?
A perfect 10. Nicely executed and had me on the edge of my seat ;]

Jintan went and said it after all. Hard to find good dramas like this nowadays, kinda glad Menma did not disappear, or not the show would have ended after the next episode.
Whats up with Yukiatsu anyway? his obsession is kind of... interesting?

This episode was really moving, especially towards the end. I was ready to bawl until I saw Menma and I was like DUDE WHAT THE.
As she's my least favorite character, I was annoyed by Anjou throughout the episode. I honestly think Tsuruko has had it tougher, yet she's the one who's remained strong. All Anjou does is whine and constantly compare herself to Menma and her hate-jealousy is so ugh. I can't stand her sometimes.
Poppo creeped me out when he wouldn't stop to say "say it", the scene was a bit odd because of that. It was touching though, and the scene after that about Menma and Jintan getting married. I'm the only one who's rooted for this pair around here. I'm so excited for next week, I have no idea what to expect but I know it won't be a let down.

She needs to move on from Jinta.
Her relationship with him only hurts her and brings out her bad side.

What better way to recover from my team losing the stanley cup, and my city getting subsumed with rioting than a new episode of AnoHana?
I found this episode dealt more with the peace busters reflecting on who they are to each other as much as they are to Memna. Anjou said that after all this time it was Memna who's kept the group close, and her close to Jinta. To which Yukiatsu said "it's something to be grateful for." I read sincerity in the way he said that. I don't think he's entirely self motivated in this, even though he's carrying a lot of weight over what happened.
Near the start of the series Tsuruko was dismissive of Anjou, but in this episode they shared their mutual feelings of unrequited love. I'm equally interested in how the group will move on after Memna is gone, than in what will actually happen in order to get her to rest in peace.
Their group was shattered when she died, and they've come to realize how many of those pieces never got picked back up. A big theme in this series has been facing those feelings. Memna seemed happiest and also most concerned with them being friends and having fun like old times. When (if) Memna is gone again I'm really wondering if they'll be able to stay friends as they were before or whether life will pull them away from each other again.

I'm not starting to think it might be better for everybody if they moved on and went their seperate ways. Right now, they are only hurting each other.

that bastard yukiatsu!!!! How can he set up that kind of setting again..... Even Poppo supports that??!!!
but thanks to that scene, finally we can understand many things about Tsuruko....
*ah damn! my tears*
yeah! it looks like that no one actually can't change Menma's will to go to heaven... I feel sorry for Jinta but he must think about Menma's feelings
looks like Saa-kun becomes one of my favourite character too
everyone already knows that firework actually isn't Menma's true will
I'm curious about the next episode
hopefully they will give us a happy and good ending
10/10 for this episode.... they have successfully distorted my feelings and emotions

Graphic Belladone
Added Oct 15, 2013
by wu huimei
Singapore, Singa...
For project sewn week 3 challenge, it is about graphics which is great as my boring wardrobe is in desperate need of more colorful prints apparels.After seeing the many beauties sewn with Deer and Doe patterns, I had a mini shopping spree done few weeks back, and luckily the patterns arrived just in time.
More on my blog: sewashley.blogspot.com
Material Notes
Pattern used: Belladone from Deer and Doe
Material used: A cotton calico print fabric from joann. It was under the red tag section, $5 usd per yard and I purchased 3 yards straight away. BUT! when I got home and went through Joann.com, the same fabric and design is selling at $3.60usd per yard. I felt kind of cheated. How can the prices differ so much when they are supposed to be under the same company?

What Makes Employees Stick Around? One Company Has an Answer
Since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, prognosticators have warned that employers would cut workers' hours as the deadline approached for one of the key provisions of the healthcare reform law: the requirement that employers offer affordable insurance to workers logging 30 hours or more, or pay a penalty.
Now that the Jan. 1, 2014 deadline is getting closer, firms with many part-time or hourly workers are beginning to finalize their decisions on eligibility and workforce scheduling, with a number of employers choosing to cut employees' hours and skirt coverage requirements.
But not every company is choosing that route. The Cumberland Gulf Group is expected to announce Tuesday that it is maintaining or expanding some workers' schedules to make them eligible for company-sponsored care. Its reasoning: The increased costs for care will pay off in the long run, with better employee retention and customer service.
At Cumberland, which is based in Framingham, Mass., and owns the Cumberland Farms convenience stores and the Gulf Oil brand, an additional 1,500 workers will be re-classified as full-time and become eligible for company-sponsored health insurance in advance of the ACA deadline. These workers were already working more than 30 hours per week, but not the 40 hours previously required for access to the company insurance plan.
"We sketched out all the options, which included paying the penalty or having employees work fewer than 30 hours," said Ari Haseotes, Cumberland Farms' president and chief operating officer. The company has decided to make employee satisfaction and retention a corporate priority, and that meant expanding access to benefits. "We've been moving in this direction, but the ACA galvanized us to move more quickly," he said.
Cumberland, which is privately owned, plans to move the newly-eligible employees to a work week of 32 hours or more, and these positions will now be considered full-time. Employees who were working 30 or 31 hours per week will have the option of moving up to 32 hours, and therefore becoming eligible for the company healthcare plan, or moving to 29 hours or fewer, with no company-sponsored insurance. No employees will work in the 30 to 31 hour range after the changes go into effect on October 1, according to the firm.
After that point, Cumberland expects to have 4,500 full-time employees and 2,700 part-time employees. For the part-time employees, Cumberland said it will help them access insurance through state or federal exchanges being created to serve individuals and small businesses.
The primary metric the company considered was its employee turnover ratio. Full-time employees stay, on average, three to four times longer than part-timers do, said Haseotes. Longer-tenured workers deliver a better experience for the customer—especially in the convenience-store business, where the customer is often in a hurry, he added.
"Our people know how to speed a customer through checkout quickly, how to use our ovens to make a pizza or sandwich right." When turnover is high, he said, customer satisfaction suffers.
Some employers are starting to look at ACA implementation in this broader way, said Dave Marini, vice president and managing director of strategic advisory services at Automatic Data Processing, Inc., the payroll services and employee benefits administration firm.
"Organizations are looking at health care reform legislation as a workforce management and planning issue," he said. "It goes beyond just cost of benefits to the impact on talent, attraction and retention."
Haseotes said he expects about 50% of all eligible employees to choose company-sponsored health insurance. Cumberland is adding to its offerings a high-deductible plan that meets the ACA's affordability and minimum coverage requirements. He said he expects the changes to cost the company "several million dollars." Cumberland Gulf, which is privately owned, has revenues of approximately $15 billion.

EPA and Partners Kick Off Green Building Design Challenge; Contest to reward reuse designs that save resources, costs
Release Date: 05/13/2008
Contact Information: Jennifer May (212) 637-3658, email@example.com
(New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and partners are calling on the nation's architects, builders, students and others to participate in the second Lifecycle Building Challenge. The competition seeks designs that facilitate building material adaptation and reuse, minimize waste, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Ideas generated by the contest will jumpstart the building industry to help divert more of the 100 million tons of building-related construction and demolition debris sent each year to landfills in the United States.
The "Lifecycle Building Challenge 2" – co-sponsored by the Building Materials Reuse Association, the American Institute of Architects, Southface Energy Institute, and West Coast Green – invites professionals and students nationwide to submit designs and ideas by July 31, 2008 that support cost-effective disassembly and anticipate the future use of building materials. Students, architects, reuse experts, engineers, builders, product designers, educators and environmental advocates are encouraged to apply for the web-based competition.
Currently underway, the challenge is open to built and un-built work and has two main categories:
- Building—an entire building from foundation to roof
- Component, Tool and Service—a building connector, strategy or other idea
Outstanding entries in each category will be recognized and publicized in national journals and at conferences nationwide. The competition's partners will also recognize exceptional entries in three other categories. The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) will select the Best School Design, West Coast Green will recognize the Best Residential Entry, and Building Materials Reuse Association (BMRA) will select the Best Greenhouse Gas Reduction Design.
"The Lifecycle Building Challenge explores new ideas and techniques to minimize waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Alan J. Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator. "I encourage all building professionals in our region - New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands - to submit entries."
Lifecycle building maximizes material recovery to reverse the trend of disposing large quantities of construction and demolition debris in landfills. In the United States, buildings consume 60 percent of total materials flow (excluding food and fuel) and account for 33 percent of the solid waste stream. Building renovation and demolition accounts for 91 percent of the construction and demolition debris generated each year, while new construction accounts for only 9 percent. Between 2000 to 2030, 27 percent of existing buildings will be replaced and 50 percent of the total building stock will be constructed.
These issues can be addressed by planning for a building or building component's eventual deconstruction or adaptation. By creating building components that can be easily recovered and reused, materials are kept at their highest value, resulting in reduced consumption of energy and resources. Reusing building components reduces the energy and greenhouse gases emissions associated with extracting, producing and transporting materials.
At the end of the competition, expert judges will determine the best entries in each category and the winners will be recognized at EPA's Lifecycle Building Conference in November 2008.

Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
Institutional investors in Germany are taking a new look at alternatives, leading delegates at the recent Opalesque Germany Roundtable to call 2018 the 'year of the hedge fund', but it hasn't been easy. Alternative funds are tightly regulated in Germany and roundtable participants have suggested that it could lead to lower investment performance.
"The appetite among investors is somewhat divided," said Andreas Kalusche of $10 billion alternative investment firm Prime Capital. "Insurance companies in Germany are predominantly not
investing in hedge funds. Pension funds of different kinds in Germany and across Europe and family offices are investing in
hedge funds, and have continued to grow their allocation. This includes investments in funds of funds, the more traditional
way of approaching the hedge fund sector, and also via advisory mandates where we have some discretion and are also in
close interaction with the investors."
Prime Capital recently launched a second fund of funds vehicle in response to investor demand. Prime is also working on including a broader range of alternative strategies into the UCITS framework.Kalusche notes that there has also been considerable demand for liquid alternatives as more European investors hunt for yield.

The polls are closed, the votes counted and winners announced. Rackspace is yet again on Glassdoor's list of the Top 50 Best Places to Work, coming in at No. 15 for 2013. This marks the third time Rackspace made the list, which is now in its fifth year.
Glassdoor, a jobs and career community, gives out the honor annually and relies solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their job, work environment and company via Glassdoor's anonymous online company review survey.
Close to half a million company reviews were submitted by employees to Glassdoor during the past 12 months to help put their employers in the running for the awards. The Glassdoor company review survey asks employees to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation and benefits, work/life balance and senior management, as well as culture and values.
The list was compiled using Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, and the overall ranking was determined according to each company's overall Glassdoor rating. For the purpose of this report, the overall rating is the cumulative average rating from U.S.-based employees who elected to participate in the survey between November 23, 2011 and November 13, 2012.

Great Post Rick,
this is the worst kinda failure.
a) can occur easily
b) causes the kite to behave in a manner where you would throw to your safety. (no depower and steering incorrectly)
c) loses control much faster after throwing to safety.
Kinda like losing power steering in your car and then having it accelerate on you when you hit the brakes cause you notice the cars too stiff to steer. Yeah there's stuff you can do, but by the time most people sort out WTF happened, they're allready in deep shit.
Most people don't realize how EASILY this happens (the chickeloop wrap not the simultaneous brake steering and throttle failure)
Lines go slack cuz you rolled or crashed forward, got hit by a wave, and the depower line floats right bar floats left or straight and ends up on the wrong side of the depowerline and YOU are in this guys situation.
You steer left, kite goes right, you punch out of primary and boom, all hell breaks loose before you figure what's happening.
This guy had lots of time to figure out his bar wasn't moving (before releasing)so in his case he shoulda caught it, and just pulled the line back around. he admits that at the start of the video.
To a slight degree I blame equipment, I noticed on the 2013 bar North added a bit of stiff crap inside the depower rope to keep it straight and in place, SPECIFICALLY to reduce the odds of this happening.Bars with PU coating over the depowerlines also have some stiffness in this area to prevent it.
Probably not just co-incidence that this did not have a stiffner or a PU coating.
Industry should learn a lesson as well as most riders from this video, I did.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.—1 Corinthians 6:11
I do not know all of the Savior's reasons for choosing the woman at the well. I know that His revelation of Himself to her constituted an everlasting rebuke to human self-righteousness. I know that every smug woman who walks down the street in pride and status ought to be ashamed of herself. I know that every self-righteous man who looks into his mirror each morning to shave what he believes to be an honest face ought to be ashamed of himself....
Jesus was able to see potential in the woman at the well that we could never have sensed. What a gracious thing for us that Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be. You and I are slaves to time and space and records and reputations and publicity and the past-all that we call the case history. Jesus Christ cares absolutely nothing about anyone's moral case history. He forgives it and starts from there as though the person had been born one minute before. Faith Beyond Reason, 103-104.
"Again I worship You today, great God, for Your matchless grace. No matter what my past, thank You, thank You, thank You, that 'Jesus Christ cares absolutely nothing about anyone's moral case history.' Amen."
