The following is a press release via Canada Newswire.
McGill University Professor Desmond Morton Wins 2010 Pierre Berton Award
The Award selection committee noted that the Pierre Berton Award particularly recognizes Desmond Morton's tireless advocacy of accessible Canadian history. He once facetiously suggested that Canadian history be banned from schools as 'unfit for young minds. Then, of course, those "young minds" would grab a flashlight and read it avidly under the covers.'
"We are delighted to honour Desmond Morton," said Deborah Morrison, president and C.E.O. of Canada's History Society. "He cares deeply about how history is taught in our classrooms and how it is remembered in our communities. His career reflects his strong commitment to helping bridge between academic research and popular understanding of our past."
In accepting the honour Desmond Morton commented, "This is a gratifying award to receive, since Pierre Berton was the master of history performances as well as popular writing. I am humbled to be put in the same category."
The Pierre Berton Award is Canada's top history prize, recognizing excellence in bringing Canada's history to a wider popular audience. Past awards have honoured the initiatives of writers, filmmakers, television broadcasters, and non-profit organizations.
The History Society also acknowledged the work of four other exceptional nominees who were short-listed for the prize:
Ancestry.ca as a part of the world's largest online aggregator of historical records provides Canadian families with an unprecedented breadth of resources to begin their exploration of Canada's history with the stories that intrigue them the most - those of their own families and descendents. Lively, participative, and personal, Ancestry.ca is quite literally weaving more connections between Canadians and their pasts.
Dan Francis has been a freelance writer exploring for over 35 years all aspects of Canadian cultural history, and publishing for children and adult audiences alike. Among many notable projects he's been involved The Encyclopedia of British Columbia remains one the most important books written about the province. Indeed Dan Francis is one of the most important historical writers in Canada today.
J'ai La Memoire Qui Tourne is an unprecedented multi-media project developed by Les Productions de la Ruelle in collaboration with the French television network Historia. Rooted with a television documentary series that traces the history of 20th century Quebec by weaving together family films and videos, the project culminates with a vast website, coproduced with Turbulent Media and the support of the Bell Fund, featuring more viewer-contributed content and a robust set of educational resources. J'ai La Memoire Qui Tourne is a game-changer for how Canada's stories are told in popular media.
Bernard Zukerman's curiosity about the Canadian people and events has brought some of Canada's best historical drama to film and television screens. His filmography includes features about Dieppe, the Dionne Quintuplets; Victor Davis, hockey player's rights in Canada, Colin Thatcher, as well as the forthcoming CBC television movie about political rivals John A. Macdonald and George Brown. A natural story-teller, Zukerman's contributions to bringing Canada's history to movie theatres and television are unparalleled.

2012 Olympians | All-Time Big Ten Olympians
As the 2012 Olympic Games commence this week, the Big Ten Conference will boast over 100 participants and coaches in London from July 25–August 12. The group of Big Ten competitors, which includes 27 former Olympians and nine returning medalists, will represent 33 different countries in 24 different sports. Each school will be represented at the games, with Michigan leading the way with 20 Olympic participants this year. The Wolverines are followed by Penn State (19), Nebraska (14), Ohio State (11) and Wisconsin (9).
The Big Ten contingent of current or former student-athletes, coaches or alumni includes 57 members of the United States Olympic Team, along with participants and coaches from Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bulgaria, Burundi, Canada, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, Great Britain, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mauritius, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Serbia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Sweden and Turkey.
This collection of elite performers is highlighted by 27 former Olympians, including nine returning medalists. Former Illinois basketball player Deron Williams, former Michigan water polo player Betsey Armstrong, former Michigan swimming volunteer assistant Michael Phelps, former Michigan swimmer Peter Vanderkaay, former Michigan track and field athlete Nick Willis, former Minnesota volleyball player Lindsey Berg, former Minnesota track and field athlete Barbora Špotáková, former Nebraska swimmer Therese Alshammar and former Northwestern swimmer Matt Grevers have all earned Olympic medals in their careers. Williams and Armstrong return for their second Olympic Games after capturing gold and silver, respectively, in the 2008 Beijing Games. Phelps will be competing in his fourth straight Olympics, and secured eight gold medals in Beijing to become the only athlete in Olympic history to capture eight medals in one Olympic year. Vanderkaay struck gold in the 4x200 freestyle relay and took home a bronze medal in the 200 freestyle, while Willis ran to a bronze in the 1,500-meter run. Berg took home a silver medal in her first games, while Špotáková earned gold in the javelin. Grevers swam to gold in the 4x100 medley and 4x100 freestyle relay, and won a silver medal in the 100 backstroke. Alshammar will compete in her fifth straight Olympics, and captured two silver medals and one bronze in the 2000 Sydney Games.
The Big Ten will also be represented by 15 coaches serving as mentors in the London Games, including four head coaches in Michigan's Mike Bottom (Serbia men's swimming) and Steve Fraser (USA Greco-Roman wrestling), Minnesota's Hugh McCutcheon (USA women's volleyball) and Nebraska's Peggy Liddick (Australia women's gymnastics). Bottom has coached in the last five games and was a member of the 1980 USA Olympic team, while Fraser grappled to a gold medal for the United States in 1984. McCutcheon leads the women's volleyball team after guiding the USA men's squad to gold at the 2008 Games, and Liddick returns for her fourth consecutive Olympic Games with the Australian national team.
Big Ten student-athletes and coaches have been a part of the Olympic experience on more than 1,370 occasions, including many making multiple trips to the international event. That list of conference standouts has accumulated at least 460 medals, including 229 gold. Former medalists include Ohio State track star Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, and former Indiana swimmer Mark Spitz won four medals, including two golds, in the 1968 games before claiming seven gold medals during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. The winter games have also been rewarding, as 12 members of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" United States hockey team were from Minnesota and Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama appointed a Capitol Hill veteran as his new White House liaison to the U.S. Congress on Friday in an effort to advance his legislative priorities in an election year.
Obama named Katie Beirne Fallon, a deputy White House communications director and former aide to Democratic Senator Charles Schumer, to replace Miguel Rodriguez, who had been director of legislative affairs for the past two years.
Fallon's appointment comes amid strained relations between Obama and congressional Democrats. The president's legislative priorities, such as an immigration overhaul, have had a rough going in Congress amid partisan gridlock.
Obama has been lightly reshaping his White House staff in recent days for a fresh push heading into a year that will be dominated by campaigning for the November 2014 congressional elections.
Earlier this week the White House said John Podesta, who was former President Bill Clinton's chief of staff, would be special counsel to Obama.
He also brought in former legislative director Phil Schiliro to help smooth out the rocky rollout of the president's signature healthcare plan.
Democratic lawmakers have bitterly complained about the botched healthcare rollout and say there has been a lack of cooperation from the White House on various legislative items.
Obama said in a statement that Fallon "has the deep expertise and strong relationships required to build on the progress we've made this year and advance my top priority: creating jobs and expanding broad-based growth and opportunity for every American."

Measuring Patient Discomfort Using Brainwave Activity

Digital health opportunities are popping up everywhere and in every part of the nation. The IoT Journal (Internet of Things) recently profiled a hospital down the street from me who is exploring IoT's potential to bring drug free relief to patients. Here's a short excerpt from the article:
Until recently, when health-care providers wanted to gauge the level of discomfort a patient was enduring, they typically had to ask that individual to rate his or her pain—for example, on a scale of 1 to 10—and then use that information to plan treatment accordingly. If they wanted to ease the patient's pain, they needed to administer medication.
Several months ago AccendoWave released an alternative solution that does not require medication and is personalized to each patient. The system was released in June 2015, says Martha Lawrence, AccendoWave's founder and CEO, and has since been tested at several facilities. The company has spent seven years researching its solution for assessing patient discomfort levels, and is now using a headband that measures electroencephalography (EEG) activity and prompts a tablet PC to provide content aimed at reducing that discomfort.
The AccendoWave headband, which has seven EEG sensor leads built into it, transmits its brain-wave measurements to the tablet via a Bluetooth connection. The tablet, a Samsung Tab 4, uses its built-in AccendoWave software to process patient brain-wave data and then display diversionary content, including games, music, video clips and full-length movies. If, as a patient views a specific piece of content, the brain waves change to indicate increasing comfort, that content remains on the screen. If the content does not appear to have a positive effect on the brain waves, the software continues to select other content until it displays something appealing to the patient.
Pretty interesting approach. The article does note that they don't use the brainwave data to determine how much medication to administer. They just use it as a way to assess the system's effectiveness. They also do patient surveys to assess the impact of the device on a patient's comfort. The article says that since the hospital implemented the system in the hospital, "1,600 patients have used the device to date, and more than 450 have completed surveys…More than 90 percent of responders reported viewing the system in a positive light."
I've seen these EEG sensors for a while and they're pretty neat. However, I always wondered how they'd actually be implemented and how they could be used to benefit patient care. No doubt it's still early in their efforts to use and assess brainwaves, but it's a pretty interesting solution to tie brain wave activity to soothing images. I'll be watching to see how this evolves.

A training session begins in the Batcave in "Nightwing" No. 30 (DC Entertainment)Link
Right from the start, the "Forever Evil" series was meant to bring major changes to Nightwing. From his Issue No. 1 unmasking at the hands of the Crime Syndicate to the few minutes where he technically died in the aptly titled "Murder Machine" in Issue No. 6, Nightwing hasn't had an easy few months.
Not that DC chief creative officer Geoff Johns would have had it any other way. In an interview with Hero Complex when the series began, Johns talked of the significance of the character.
"With the Justice League out of the way, the top of the heap is Nightwing," Johns told Hero Complex in a phone interview. "Every other hero, in my opinion, looks up to Nightwing…. And I think in some cases, people listen more to Nightwing than they would to Batman, because Nightwing is sincere, and Batman can be a little bit mysterious."
Now, after months of delays that led fans to think that perhaps the series title "Forever Evil" might be literal, the story line has concluded, and "Nightwing" No. 30 is tasked with clearing up the mystery surrounding the character's fate and finishing the series altogether.
Hero Complex readers can check out pages from "Nightwing" No. 30 in the gallery above or by clicking on the links below.
Issue No. 30 Cover | Variant Cover | Page 7 | Page 8 | Page 9 | Page 10 | Page 11
So where do we go from here?
With Alfred still in mourning in Page 9 of the Issue No. 30 preview, it appears that he is being kept in the dark for the time being about Dick's survival. Meanwhile, judging by the intense training session taking place on Page 11, it seems like Grayson is revving up for a comeback.
In fact, he'll be getting his own series. As DC announced last month, "Grayson" will debut in July, with the outed superhero transitioning into a special agent of sorts. The series will be written by Tim Seeley and Tom King, a former CIA counter-terrorism operative, and will feature art from Mikel Janin.
So, in a sense, the "Forever Evil" story line did result in the demise of Nightwing. With his secret identity revealed to the world, it appears the character has no choice but to hang up the domino mask.
How will DC bid him adieu in this final issue swan song?
Find out when "Nightwing" No. 30 hits stores on May 28.

Offense scouting report: Teams will be buying in bulk as line talent outweighs skill-position crop
The 2013 NFL Draft will be won or lost in the trenches.
That's where the bulk of the best talent resides and where the teams making the best choices will get richer.
"I've got six offensive tackles with first-round grades, and I've got six defensive tackles with first-round grades," said NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock.
There probably won't be a receiver picked in the top 10. There may not be a running back picked in the top 20. The offensive and defensive lines will rule over the skill positions.
Here's a position-by-position look at the offensive prospects, broken into tiers, which are not meant to be definitive. In other words, the top tier includes players who are potential first-round picks, not just the top 32. Rounds two and three will be held on Day Two. Only selected third-day prospects are included.
Class Grade: B-
Geno Smith has the best combination of size, strength and production. He threw for 42 touchdowns and runs a 4.59-second 40-yard dash. There are questions about his ability to read defenses and pocket presence. He needs to take better care of the ball (32 career fumbles). ... Ryan Nassib is an underrated athlete with sufficient arm strength to all parts of the field. He played in an offense that transitions well to the NFL. His footwork can break down, resulting in poor accuracy.
Matt Barkley might have been a top-10 pick in 2012, but came back and had a disappointing senior season that ended because of a shoulder injury. ... E.J. Manuel has all the physical tools and would look good running the read option, but he's woefully inconsistent. ... Mike Glennon came on at the end of 2012. He's got a good arm and can work from under center, but can be inaccurate at times. ... Tyler Wilson's got all the leadership qualities you want in a quarterback, but he's got a slow delivery. ... Tyler Bray would have benefited from another year in school. He might have the best arm in the class, but is immature. ... Landry Jones has good size and production, but breaks down under pressure.
Matt Scott is a dual-threat quarterback with a strong arm. He has to work on his decision making. ... Collin Klein was a Heisman candidate who threw for 16 touchdowns and ran for another 23. ... Jordan Rodgers is the younger brother of Green Bay quarterback Aaron.
Class Grade: A
Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson could go within the top seven picks. They've all got potential to start on the left side for the next decade. Fisher just continues to grow. He's a slightly better athlete than Joeckel. Johnson started in junior college playing quarterback. … Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper are the rare guards who could go in the top half of the first round. … D.J. Fluker probably doesn't have the feet to play on the left side, but he's a road grader at right tackle.
Menelik Watson will be 25 as a rookie. He's from England and didn't take up football until giving up a basketball career at Marist. … Larry Warford also played basketball and has good feet. He plays with a nasty streak. ... Justin Pugh will likely transition from left tackle to guard in the NFL. … Terron Armstead blew away the combine with a 4.71 40 and 34.5-inch vertical. … Kyle Long is the son of former Raiders great Howie and brother of Rams defensive end Chris. … Travis Frederick is the top-rated center in the draft.
J.C. Tretter is a native of Akron who played the last two years at left tackle. He'll likely move inside to guard or center. He's a good athlete and smart player. … Brian Winters is an All-Mid-American Conference player who operated a snowplow business while at Kent State. He tweaked a pectoral injury at the combine. … Reid Fragel's a converted tight end who needs to add some weight to his tall frame.
Class Grade: B
Cordarrelle Patterson has the tools to be an elite, big playmaker, but may need some time to mature. ... Keenan Allen, the half-brother of former UB QB Zach Maynard, is ready to step in and produce. He can run after the catch. ... Tavon Austin runs a 4.34 40. He's a faster Roscoe Parrish. ... Robert Woods is a smooth veteran with 210 catches. ... DeAndre Hopkins, Terrance Williams and Quinton Patton are outside possession receivers who have produced. Their numbers: Hopkins 206 catches, 27 TDs; Williams 202 catches, 27 TDs; Patton 183 catches, 24 TDs. ... Justin Hunter is bigger, more slender and faster (4.44). ... Markus Wheaton is fast (4.45) and thin. ... Ryan Swope (4.34) is a speedier Brandon Stokley. He's strictly a slot receiver. ... Da'Rick Rogers has elite size and speed (4.44) and is a first-round talent but got booted out of Tennessee (not an easy feat) for failing drug tests.
Marquise Goodwin placed 10th in the long jump at the 2012 Olympics in London and ran 4.27 in the 40. He caught 30 passes a year over four seasons for Texas. ... Josh Boyce ran 4.38 but has a fractured foot. ... Cobi Hamilton had 90 catches last season, 65 more than any other teammate, but isn't speedy (4.56). ... Steadman Bailey doesn't have special size or speed but caught 25 TDs in 2012. ... Denard Robinson, who went 23-12 as QB at Michigan, holds the major-college record for rushing yards by a QB (4,495). He ran 4.34 and will try to play WR in the NFL. ... Jasper Collins comes from the Division III powerhouse that produced Pierre Garcon and Cecil Shorts. He was snubbed by the combine but ran 4.47 on campus.
Class Grade: B
Tyler Eifert projects as a solid but unspectacular NFL starter. He has good hands and some blocking ability. ... Zach Ertz should be picked late in the first or in the first half of the second round. He ran well on campus (4.62) and seems like a sure-fire solid player. He had 69 catches and nine TDs last season. More of a receiver than a blocker. ... Gavin Escobar, like Ertz, is more of a receiver than a blocker. He's a three-year starter with a big frame who adjusts well to the ball. It's a close call between Escobar and McDonald, who is stronger but who was used mostly split out by Rice. Vance McDonald's 31 bench-press lifts of 225 pounds were the fourth best in the past 10 years among TEs. ... Travis Kelce is an impressive physical talent who caught 45 passes for a 16-yard average with eight TDs last season. He's rugged and has some play-making ability after the catch. How will teams evaluate him? He was suspended for the entire 2010 season for violating unspecified team rules. He's recovering from a sports hernia operation. ... Jordan Reed is a big slot receiver in the Dustin Keller mold but he's slower (4.53 for Keller, 4.72 for Reed).
Ryan Otten caught 99 passes the past two years. ... Levine Toilolo is a big target but lacks quickness. ... The wide-bodied Sims is the best blocking TE in the draft. ... Nick Kasa is a converted defensive end. Last season was his first full year at TE, and he caught 25 passes. He's powerful but not smooth, a tad stiff in the hips. ... Joseph Fauria isn't fast or strong but had 12 TD catches last season and could be a viable backup. ... Jake Stoneburner, strictly a catcher, ran 4.65. ... Zach Sudfeld ran decent times at his pro day (4.71 and 4.77) and caught 45 passes and nine TDs in the Pistol offense. He's worth bringing to camp.
Class Grade: B
Alabama's Eddie Lacy is a load – just ask Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o, bulldozed by Lacy in the national title game. ... Wisconsin's Ball scored a record 83 TDs in his career. He has miles on his tread (924 college carries). ... The Spartans' Le'Veon Bell can be a solid starter. He was third in the nation in rushing, had 33 career TDs, and gets yards after contact. ... Bernard is another all-purpose back. He has 92 catches the past two years. ... Andre Ellington is undersized but tough. He's starting-caliber and averaged 5.8 yards a carry for his career. ... Texas A&M's Christine Michael is a stud athlete, with a 43-inch vertical jump. He got hurt in 2010 and 2011 and spent much of 2012 in his coach's doghouse.
Franklin is productive but has fumbling issues. ... Oklahoma State's Joseph Randle is a third-down back. ... South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore is coming off a Willis McGahee-type knee injury. ... Oregon's Kenjon Barner was fourth in the nation in rushing. ... Stanford's Stepfan Taylor does everything well but lacks top-end speed. ... Kyle Juszcyk caught 52 passes for the Crimson last season, mostly as a tight end. He will be the first Harvard player drafted since Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2005. ... Khiry Robinson, of West Texas A&M, rushed for 1,621 yards last season and had a 35-inch vertical jump.

Update: Two more cases of Emergency Alert System zombie reports have popped up, and, again, there were, in reality, no zombie uprisings, as far as we can confirm.
The above video is of an EAS activation on ABC affiliate WBUP-TV in Marquette, Michigan. It's the same as the one that hit Great Falls, Montana yesterday. This one also aired on PBS affiliate WNMU-TV in Marquette, and the Detroit News reports that it broke into Barney and Friends on that station. I'm not sure what would have been more horrifying, Barney or the zombies. It also aired, says the Detroit Free Press, on CW affiliate WBKP-TV, right in the middle of The Carrie Diaries, but if nobody actually SEES something happen, did it really occur?
And Tuesday, it happened again in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, but this time, it was an accident. Seems that the morning show at Z-93 radio played a tape of the Montana incident, and on that tape, there was the standard EAS tone, which then triggered an alert at CBS affiliate WKBT-TV. The way the alerts work, a "primary" radio station sends a tone over the air, and other stations in the area have receivers that hear that tone, trigger their own alerts, and immediately pick up the audio from the primary station. And that, reports the
LaCrosse Tribune, put the Montana audio on the LaCrosse TV station, via the LaCrosse radio station, which was merely playing the tape of the… oh, you get the picture.
And here's where we can get all Mom and Dad-like and remind people that the EAS is there to report actual emergency information, like the tornado that hit Hattiesburg, Mississippi the other day, and that the ease by which someone hacked the system is actually disturbing and dangerous. We're lucky that, this time, it's just a zombie joke. It IS a joke, isn't it?

MULBERRY | CTL Transportation is bracing for a jobs shakeup.
MULBERRY | CTL Transportation is bracing for a jobs shakeup.
CTL, a Mulberry-based trucking company serving the fertilizer and phosphate industry, will have to cut or reassign about 130 workers in the coming months because CTL's contract with The Mosaic Co. is coming to an end, according to Richard Straughn, general counsel for CTL.
"Mosaic is making a business change. CTL is having to move forward with its business decisions as well," Straughn said. "We've certainly had a long and beneficial partnership with Mosaic that we wish to continue in the future."
CTL has worked with Mosaic and its predecessor company for nearly 40 years, Straughn said. Mosaic spokesman Dave Townsend said the firm periodically reviews its major contracts and issued a request for proposals for transportation services last February.
After evaluating companies based on safety performance, pricing, skills and other criteria, Townsend said Mosaic ultimately chose Illinois-based Dillon Transport, and will begin its new contract with Dillon on March 1.
Approximately 130 CTL employees — truck drivers and support staff — who work for the company in Mulberry and Tampa could be affected by the loss of Mosaic's business, Straughn said.
"The business change is resulting in a reduction in force, but we have made appropriate steps to offer potential employment at our sister companies," he said.
CTL has about 430 total employees.
The business was founded in 1964 and joined Auburndale-based Comcar Industries in 1985. Comcar has other subsidiaries and affiliate companies in Georgia, Arkansas and South Dakota, according to its website.
Two current CTL drivers who spoke with The Ledger said they fear the company won't be able to retain enough staff for local work.
"A lot of guys are looking for jobs right now," said one driver, who asked to remain anonymous.

Will 'Chips Kelly' leave town, too?
EUGENE, Ore. - With Chip Kelly leaving the Ducks for the Philadelphia Eagles, Oregon needs to find a new coach - and Bob Jensen's Wild Duck Cafe has to make some decisions about the menu.
Will "Chips Kelly" - a basket of chips in truffle oil with a side of blue cheese mousse - remain on the appetizer menu?
"It's a real popular item for us. People like that fresh fried potato chip, you know, coming out it's kind of a crispier, heavier chip, and people really enjoy them," Jensen said. "They like the play on name, too."
Jensen predicts Chip Kelly's legacy at Oregon will be durable - and so will the presence of "Chips Kelly" on the cafe menu.

CANNES, France (AP) — Academy award-winner Marion Cotillard gave her all and even learned another language to play a Polish woman struggling with the realities of 1920s New York in James Gray's terse offering, "The Immigrant."
The gritty drama, which premieres Friday at the Cannes Film Festival and is competing for the Palme d'Or, was filmed in part on the almost mythical Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants stepped off the boat to America in search of a better life, captured with stark beauty by cinematographer Darius Khondji.
The initial American dream of Cotillard's character, Ewa, to rejoin her uncle and aunt and start a family with a "good man" is quickly dashed. Her sister winds up quarantined in an immigrant hospital and she herself is taken under the wing of Bruno, a louche cabaret manager who's prone to violent outbursts.
Bruno, played by Joaquin Phoenix in a melodramatic performance that has divided critics, is attracted by Ewa's beauty and forces her into his cabaret outfit, which also serves as a brothel. She becomes the most prized of his "doves," the sickening name he gives to his dancing girls.
But what might have been a predicable pimp-prostitute tale is given a twist by the human complexity of Gray's characters: neither fully good nor fully bad.
Cotillard's performance has already garnered attention from critics for the intensity of her performance and for learning Polish for the role — some 20 pages of the film script were in that language, she noted. The French actress admitted that while speaking a foreign language was tough, it ultimately spurred her on artistically.
"The language creates everything. I like to create characters that have their own approach, their own physical language, their own voice. When you have a different language to learn, it somehow helps to create that," she said.
She called speaking Polish her "biggest challenge," as even when she was happy with a scene, "I had no way of knowing if it was perfect. It was very unsettling."
Cotillard is becoming something of a polyglot having also acted in English, French and Italian in this year's "Blood Ties."
"The Immigrant'''s third key character could be said to be Ellis Island itself, the former immigrant gateway in Upper New York Bay.
Khondji, who worked on last year's Palme d'Or winner "Amour," defined the film with his breathtaking evocations of Ellis Island and a grimy New York, with references that harked to "The Godfather: Part II."
"There have been so few films actually shot in Ellis Island ... this kind of mythical, immigration station where the entire world came to the United States," said Gray, who added that 40 percent of Americans have an ancestor who passed through the island at the beginning of the 20th century.
But the covetable location presented its fair share of obstacles, as the director conceded after the screening.
"One of the things that you forget is that ... it's a museum. It's open virtually 365 days a year, and it will not close down for you, so all that stuff ... was shot at night actually with huge cranes holding these big 10,000-watt lights, blasting light through the window. If I knew what it would take I'm not sure I would have done it again."

Bulldogs Fall 1-0 To Fairfield
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team deserved a better fate in its home opener against Fairfield. The Bulldogs had a big edge in play but ended up with nothing to show for it.
Jon Clements scored the only goal of the game on a penalty kick midway through the second half as the Stags escaped with a 1-0 victory before a big crowd at Reese Stadium.
The call to award the penalty kick was questionable. Reco McLaren was chasing a ball in the left side of the box that appeared to be heading over the end line when he was taken down.
Clements then calmly stepped up and banged in the penalty kick.
Yale (1-2) had a big edge in shots (13-4) and corner kicks (8-2) in the game.
"It's disappointing," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "We put them under so much pressure and had them on their back foot."
Fairfield goalkeeper Joe Martin made a couple of big saves to preserve the victory. The best one came early in the second half. Cameron Kirdzik sent a cross that Martin deflected right to Kevin Michalak at the side of the net. Michalak shot quickly, but Martin recovered to knock it away.
Yale had another chance on the ensuing corner kick, but Peter Jacobson's shot went high.
Martin later robbed Kirdzik, who got his head on a Henry Albrecht cross.
The Bulldogs continued to apply pressure right up until the final horn. Fairfield was whistled for a foul in a dangerous area in the final minute, but with the clock winding down, Yale had to rush the final attempt, and Martin easily stopped Albrecht's shot as time expired.
"Our guys are frustrated, but we'll learn from this and get ready for Lehigh [on Sunday]," Tompkins said.
The Bulldogs play at Lehigh on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Young Modern Family Actress's Mother Accused of Abuse
Ariel Winter, 14, has a restraining order against her mother.
Modern Family's 14-year-old Ariel Winter has had a restraining order against her mother since early October, stemming from claims of abuse. Winter's older sister and fellow actress Shanelle Gray filed a guardianship petition in Los Angeles alleging Winter's mother, Chrisoula Workman, committed "ongoing physical abuse (slapping, hitting, pushing) and emotional abuse (vile name-calling, personal insults about minor and minor's weight, attempts to 'sexualize' minor, deprivation of food, etc.) for an extended period of time." Winter has been in the temporary custody of her sister, with a court hearing scheduled for November 20. Workman's word to People is that "it's all untrue ... I have my doctor's letter that my daughter's never been abused … I have stylists' letters that she's never been abused." Law enforcement tells TMZ Winter's sister was also removed from Workman's care two decades ago, "based on similar abuse allegations."

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women's basketball team will play host to a scrappy SAC opponent in Newberry on Wednesday (Jan. 22) in the Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium. A live video webcast of the game can be found at www.cokercobras.com.
With 12 conference games left in the regular season, the importance of each game increases as the post season draws near. Coker (8-6, 6-4) is currently tied for third with Lenoir-Rhyne and Catawba, while Newberry (9-5, 5-5) is close behind at the fourth place position.
In their first meeting the Cobras battled their way to a 76-62 victory over the Wolves at Eleazer Arena. The navy and yellow had four players reach double figures in that game, including two double-double performances. Tanesha Stenson poured in a game high 20 points and snatched down 10 boards, while Priscilla Fenty followed with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Hailey Yohn and Jasmine Evans each scored 17 and 13 points, respectively.
The Cobras will be relying heavily on the scoring power of Stenson and Yohn in their upcoming stanza against the Wolves. Stenson continues to lead the offense in scoring with an average of 15.8 points per game while Yohn is second in scoring with 10.5. The forward duo of Fenty and Jessica Cohen will also play a key role on the offensive end as both players average 9.6 points per game.
Newberry is coming off a close 61-58 win over Brevard in their most recent competition. Haylee Lepaio and Tasia Holdorf lead the charge for the Wolves with scoring averages of 16.8 points per game and 13.1, respectively.
Wednesday night's game will be Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night at Coker with all Coker faculty and staff receiving a free t-shirt, popcorn and drink at the game.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. followed by the men's game at 8:00 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for $5 dollars for adults, $3 dollars for students, and free to all Coker students, faculty, and staff.

Sneak a Peek at Fall/Winter 2013
July 8, 2013 in New This Season, NYC
It's that time of year again, peeps! The day we release our new Fall collection on Appaman.com is fast approaching, so after you set your alarms to July 15th, take a look at our new video, a behind-the-scenes look at our Fall/Winter '13 catalog photoshoot in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
This season's collection is a our tribute to iconic American school style. We were inspired by the refined look of prep school cool, the sporty comfort of vintage varsity gear and the edgy, rebellious spirit of punk fashion.
Of course, Appaman kids can be found rocking their own personal style about anywhere on campus: shootin' hoops on the playground, cheering from the bleachers, making music with the band, testing theories in the lab, or break dancing in the parking lot. We made a mix-and-match collection so you can make these looks your own, and be confined to just one style.
Once again, we'd like to thank videographer Mike Canzoniero for his cinematic skills and Boots for contributing original music.
Check out the video below, then scroll down to take a look at some photos of our Fall '13 favorites:

BRISTOL, Tenn. – During the first day of the Conference Carolinas Baseball Tournament, the conference awarded their all-conference performers. King University's Steven Todoschuk, Josh Huffman, Garrett Cook, Tyler Gaby and Cory Rhodes all earned second team honors.
Todoschuk, finished fourth on the team with a batting average of .316. The junior from Stoney Creek, Ontario showed a good eye at the plate this season, working 27 walks to rank second in Conference Carolinas. He was one of four King players to hit at least 10 doubles, ranking third on the team with 10. His 43 hits also ranked him in third while his three triples led the team. Todoschuk also hit four home runs, ranking him fourth among Tornado.
Huffman was one of three Tornado to lead the team with seven home runs. The Lynchburg, Va., native ranked fourth in the conference with 26 walks and eighth with seven home runs. His 43 hits also ranked third on the team. Defensively, the senior threw out 14 potential base stealers to rank third in Conference Carolinas. Huffman led the team with a slugging percentage of .569, and hit .314 this season.
A junior from Luray, Va., Cook ranked fifth in the conference with 45 runs batted in, which also led the Tornado. Cook also ranked in the conference's top-10 in runs and home runs with 43 and seven, respectively. Those seven home runs were also tied for the team lead, as well as his 12 doubles. He ranked second on the team with 51 hits, and .302 with a slugging percentage of .509 for the season. Cook led the Tornado with 13 stolen bases.
Gaby led the Tornado with 57 hits, and ranked second with a batting average of .343. The Bristol, Tenn., native ranked fifth on the team with nine doubles and second with two triples. He also ranked third on the team with 37 runs batted in and 17 walks. Gaby was also named second team all-conference a season ago.
Rhodes led the Tornado in both ERA and strikeouts, both of which ranked in the conference's top-10. The junior's earned run average of 3.54 ranked 10th in the league while his 51 strikeouts landed him ninth. The Kissimmee, Fla., native logged the third most innings among Tornado at 53 and one-thirds. This marks the second time Rhodes has been honored by Conference Carolinas as he earned second team honors last season.
King will face second seed, Coker College at 7:00 p.m., on Friday at the Conference Carolinas Tournament.

Fish near floating debris for tripletail action
They are in our area again, and the tripletails are a welcome addition to most any angler's cooler. Not only are the tripletails in the gulf and in Big Lake in Louisiana, but the redfish and speckled trout are showing up. The reds and specks are being taken mostly on live bait.
The tripletails are called that because their dorsal and anal fins extend back nearly as far as their tail does. This gives them an appearance of having three tails. These fish are super great on the table, but there are a good number of anglers that have never caught one or enjoyed them as table fare. In fact, there are plenty of our fellow fisherman that have never seen one except in photographs.
Back several years ago when there was legal seining on the beach during the summertime, these fish were taken in good numbers. The commercial seiners would sell practically all of the edible fish that were caught. They would rarely sell the tripletails. Those were retained for home consumption. The old timers called them rock fish.
Should you be heading out into the gulf, there is great anticipation of locating some super size speckled trout at the short rigs. Keep in mind there are other fish around, and keep a good lookout for floating seaweed or any other floating object including boards, drums and such. These are the places that attract the tripletails. They will hang around these floating objects, feeding upon small fish or shrimp attracted to that same type of structure. Whenever you spot a tripletail, and they are visible, many times they will appear to be just some more floating debris. They tend to lie on their side while they are in search of a morsel to feed on.
Whenever one is hooked, it will do the same thing, and that makes them a real battler. Whenever a fish is nearly as wide as it is long and does that sunfish tactic and it weighs several pounds, the battle will be on.
The Texas tripletail limit is now three per day per angler with a 17-inch minimum length. The Texas rod and reel record tripletail was 33.60 pounds. It was caught in Matagorda Bay in 1984 by Edie Pruitt. It was 34 inches long.
So what type of fishing equipment is best when going after the tripletails? I realize that they might not be the primary target since there is a three fish limit. No matter; take along some fishing tackle that is versatile enough to work well on speckled trout and also tripletail. The tackle that most speck anglers use will do fine for catching tripletails. There is, however, the opportunity to use some lighter fishing tackle. Since these fish choose to be in open water, lighter action rods and line will do fine. Even the fly rod enthusiasts might do well when going after tripletails. My choice for catching them is a medium-action spinning rig with a fast taper rod. The lighter tip will allow me to cast smaller lures at greater distances and with more accuracy. It is important to place your lure or bait where the tripletail will locate it quickly.
As with most saltwater fishing, the live shrimp will take the tripletail. A good method to use them is to free line the bait with only a small split shot attached. I like to use a small treble hook when I'm using the free shrimp technique. By simply casting up current and allowing the bait to drift into the strike zone, the fish will take the bait quickly. The smaller shrimp seem to entice faster action than the larger ones.
For lures, the lead-head jigs in the 1/8 or 1/16-ounce size with a wiggle tail plastic is a good choice. Even with these small jigs, it is best to choose one with a steel hook. The tripletails are strong enough to straighten out a wire hook if too much pressure is applied.
There could be other floating-structure fish that are also in the area. Dorado are one of these. The small ones are called chicken dolphin. The larger ones are called bull dolphin. When you go out fishing next time, give the structures a try.

People who have difficulty swallowing thin liquids often must drink thickened liquids. Drinking thickened liquids can help prevent choking and stop fluid from entering the lungs.
The 3 common consistencies of thickened liquids are nectar-thick, honey-thick, and pudding-thick. Your doctor or speech therapist should tell you what consistency your liquids should be. As a general rule:
Nectar-thick liquids are easily pourable and are comparable to apricot nectar or thicker cream soups.
Honey-thick liquids are slightly thicker, are less pourable, and drizzle from a cup or bowl.
Pudding-thick liquids hold their own shape. They are not pourable and are usually eaten with a spoon.
All liquids must be thickened. Avoid thin liquids. Thin liquids often cause choking and are harder to swallow than thick liquids. Examples of thin liquids are water, coffee, milk, soda, broth, and soup.
Do not eat anything that melts, such as ice cream or ice cubes. Do not add ice cubes to thickened liquids. When the ice melts, it makes the drink too thin.
People who have difficulty swallowing liquids often don't get enough daily fluids. You should drink 6 to 8 cups of fluid every day, unless your doctor restricts your fluids because of a medical condition. Even though they are thickened, thick liquids are still considered part of your fluid intake. It's important to drink enough fluid so you don't get dehydrated.
Remember, it is very important to take your time eating and drinking. Stay in an upright position while drinking and for 15 to 30 minutes afterward. Talk to your doctor, speech therapist, and dietitian to help determine which foods and fluids you tolerate best.
You may need to avoid certain moist and juicy foods. Common examples are oranges, grapes, and watermelon. These have thin juices, which can easily enter the lungs. You also may need to avoid gelatins (like Jell-O) and scrambled eggs. Ask your doctor about these foods.
Do not use a straw. It may cause you to choke or have trouble swallowing.
Commercial thickening powders can be purchased at local drug stores (ask your pharmacist) as well as from companies that make them. Brand names include Thick It, Thick n' Easy, and Thixx. You may also be able to purchase pre-thickened beverages such as juice and milk from various companies. See the list of companies on Page 2.
Know the best thickness for you, so you can tell when a drink is too thick or too thin. Most commercial thickeners include directions for getting the right consistency. If your brand doesn't, use the following as a guideline:
Nectar-thick: 1 1/2 teaspoons of commercial thickener to 1/2 cup of thin liquid
Honey-thick: 1 1/2 tablespoons of commercial thickener to 1/2 cup thin liquid
Pudding-thick: 2 tablespoons of commercial thickener to 1/2 cup thin liquid
Add the thickener to the liquid, and stir vigorously for 20 seconds. Allow the drink to sit for at least 1 to 2 minutes to get the right thickness before serving or drinking.
If the liquid is too thick, thin liquid can be added to reduce it to a thinner consistency. If the liquid is too thin, a small amount of thickener can be added. Do not "under thicken" liquids. It's better to drink a liquid that is too thick than too thin.
When thickening hot drinks, be aware that as the beverage cools off, it tends to get thicker.
Carbonated drinks can be thickened. However, the drink will lose its carbonation through the stirring process.

The recipes on page 4 were created with your convenience in mind. All of the recipes include basic ingredients and can be made at home using a blender.
None of the products listed contains commercial thickening agents. Some do contain baby rice cereal in order to make the right consistency. Baby rice cereal has a neutral flavor and does not affect the taste of the final product. It is also less expensive than commercial thickening agents.
Unlike products made with commercial thickening agents, most of the products listed do not change consistency after refrigeration. So, you can make these recipes in larger quantities and store them in the refrigerator.
Some of these recipes include high-fat and high-calorie ingredients that may cause weight gain. Examples of ingredients that are high-fat and/or high-calorie are ice cream, whole or 2 percent milk, peanut butter, pudding made with whole or 2 percent milk, nutrition drinks (like Boost and Sustacal), maple syrup, and pie filling.
If you don't want to gain weight, you can make substitutions. To reduce calories and fat, try using light versions of these foods and 1 percent or fat-free milk. You can also try decreasing portion size.
Some of these recipes are made with sugary ingredients that may not be advised for patients with diabetes. When possible, a substitution is provided. If there is no substitution available, use the product sparingly (2 to 3 times per week), and always drink it with a meal or a small, high-protein snack (like peanut butter and crackers, meat, nuts, or legumes). If foods that contain sugar are eaten alone, your blood glucose (sugar) may rise too high, too quickly.
Some of these recipes contain milk or ice cream, which may upset your stomach. Try replacing regular milk with Lactaid milk. You can also try using the Lactaid pill (follow directions on the bottle) before eating these foods.
If liquids are too thin, add 1 of the following common thickeners to get the desired consistency:
Banana flakes
Cooked cereals (like cream of wheat or cream of rice)
Custard mix
Instant potato flakes
Mashed potatoes
Plain, unflavored gelatin powder
Pureed fruits (baby food)
Pureed meats (baby food)
Pureed vegetables (baby food)
Rice cereal (baby food)
If you're preparing a hot, milk-based liquid, you'll find that baby rice cereal or plain, unflavored gelatin works best.
For other hot liquids (soups, sauces, and gravies), potato flakes, mashed potatoes, and flaked baby cereal are most useful.
If you're preparing cold liquids, add plain unflavored gelatin, pureed fruits, or banana flakes for the best results.
For questions about your diet after discharge, please call our Outpatient Nutrition Counseling Services at _________________________.
Mix in a blender:
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup chocolate pudding (prepared)
People with diabetes: Use sugar-free pudding.
1/2 small banana
1 tablespoon peanut butter
3 tablespoons baby rice cereal
1/2 of an 8-ounce can of chocolate-flavored
Boost or Sustacal
People with diabetes: Replace Boost or Sustacal with sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast (CIB).
Any flavor of strained fruit juice is already a nectar-thick consistency.
1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie filling
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 of an 8-ounce can of vanilla-flavored
People with diabetes: Replace Boost or Sustacal with sugar-free CIB, and use diet maple syrup.
1/2 banana
1/4 cup canned or fresh pineapple
1/4 cup fresh strawberries
1/2 cup pineapple juice
People with diabetes: Use pineapple packed in juice or water.
Some of the ingredients in these recipes contain sugary foods. If foods that contain sugar are eaten alone, your blood sugar may rise too high, too quickly.
Be sure to drink these recipes with a source of protein, such as meat or peanut butter and crackers. You may also choose to drink them along with a meal.

The Boxtrolls
Though we can't fault Laika for returning time and time again to the "misfit children" well, we're beginning to worry if the studio isn't dipping its bucket deep enough. Though it turned in two past entries worth remembering - Coraline was good, but just shy of great; ParaNorman was great, but just shy of excellent - and repeats this achievement with The Boxtrolls, its latest is perhaps the boldest evidence of Laika's limiting trepidation.
The film actually turns the "misfit" gambit on its head, introducing a character who fits in so perfectly with his friends and family - a race of friendly subterranean hoarder goblins - that years pass before he realizes he's not actually one of them. Eggs (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), so named for the box that guards his unseemly torso, is a young boy raised by the sweet and creative (but ultimately cowardice) Boxtroll family that lives below the misguided aristocracy of Cheesebridge, a town decidedly phobic of its underground neighbors. Led by a comically menacing vagabond with aspirations for glory (played with flair by Ben Kingsley), the Cheesebridgers agree to rid their streets and lives of the vile little creatures forever.
A few steps beyond the average 101 Dalmations rip-off, The Boxtrolls actually puts a great deal of energy into exploring the blurry dichotomy of good vs. evil, turning would-be mindless henchmen Trout and Pickles (Nick Frost and Richard Ayoade) into well-meaning patriots led astray by propaganda. But it doesn't get too heady - Frost and (especially) Ayoade provide the biggest and most consistent laughs of the film. To their credit, Boxtrolls might be the funniest thing Laika has produced yet. The film, whose cast also includes a plucky and petulant Elle Fanning, a snooty and oblivious Jared Harris, and a thickheaded and maniacal Tracy Morgan, is eager to get especially wacky when it plays with the weird worlds of Boxtrolls and cheese-obsessed noblemen. But it's just too darn afraid to get emotional.
The Boxtrolls barely scratches the surface of its characters' relationships, which is particularly destructive to a story about family, understanding, and bravery. Instead of watching young Eggs' relationship with his surrogate father Fish (a babbling Dee Bradley Baker) evolve, we hear prototypical speeches about being yourself, standing up for what's right, and a few more all-purpose themes. The Boxtrolls' goofiness is grade A, but it cuts through the hints of biting emotional material, rendering the ordeal about half as affective as it might have been. Drop your bucket deeper next time, Laika. You're so close to that masterpiece...

A new chapter is to be written in the long and illustrious history of motorcycle racing on Montjuic, the hill that borders the south side of Barcelona. On January 11th, a selection of Grand Prix racers, including all three world champions Marc Marquez, Pol Espargaro and Maverick Viñales, are to compete in the Superprestigio dirt track event to be held at the Palau Sant Jordi on Montjuic. The event is to be broadcast on Spanish TV
The race is to be held on single cylinder four-stroke flat trackers, raced around a 200 meter dirt oval inside the former Olympic indoor arena. Entry is by invitation only, and racing will take place in three separate classes: the Junior category, for riders under 18; the Open category, for experienced riders from around the globe racing in national championships; and the Superprestigio category, for riders currently competing in the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 classes. At the end of the evening, a run off is to be held between the four best racers in the Open category and the four best from the Superprestigio category.
The entry list for both categories is impressive. The Superprestigio category will see Marc Marquez, Pol and Aleix Espargaro, Maverick Viñales, Bradley Smith, Alvaro Bautista, Julian Simon, Jonas Folger, Moto3 teammates Alex Marquez and Alex Rins, Hector Barbera, Tito Rabat, Johann Zarco, Niklas Ajo, Jordi Torres, Lorenzo Baldassari and Ricky Cardus race against one another. Nicky Hayden was also invited, but as he has just had wrist surgery, wisely but regretfully decided to pass on the event.
