Gale Anne Hurd has been a producer in Hollywood since the early '80s and has been involved in some of the biggest science fiction, horror and action movies of all time, including the first three Terminator movies, Aliens, and Armageddon. Since 2010, she has been the executive producer on AMC's monster hit (pun intended), The Walking Dead, which returns Sunday, February 10th, at 9/8c. She was nice enough to talk to us about what terrors await us for the rest of Season 3, why she's been so drawn to genre cinema, and Hollywood's attitude toward women in executive roles.
NERDIST: The first half of this season of The Walking Dead ended on a very ominous note; what can we expect from the second half?
GALE ANNE HURD: Well, if you thought this was ominous… [laughs] you've only stuck your toes into the shallow end, I can say that.
N: That's an ominous answer to that question.
GAH: Well, you can be sure not everyone makes it out alive. And we've got a truly interesting scenario, not only with Daryl and Merle, but the Governor and Andrea. It's very complicated and very primal.
N: What is it like to produce a show like this, which has a very real chance for characters to die at any moment, and for the narrative to change on a dime?
GAH: The fantastic thing is that we have such inspiration from Robert Kirkman's comic book. He's certainly blown some fans' minds with what he's done throughout the series, most recently in issue #100… if you read it, you'll know what I'm talking about. So, the show is true to the world that Kirkman created and the stakes of it are truly life and death. It's not life and death like it's 1 in 100 million I'm going to be hit by a bus tomorrow; it's am I going to be infected by a walker? How am I going to find food tomorrow? How am I going to find a safe haven? And, even more frightening this season, what am I going to do when I encounter a homicidal human?
N: This show has really, by its very nature, expanded as its gone on, both in terms of story and in location. What have been the challenges of producing this season with its two enormous central locations?
GAH: It's a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in that we have an opportunity to expand the world with not only the prison, but with Woodbury. We get to give some of our cast members some time off, which they didn't have when they were all together. But at the same time, there are a lot more locations this season which makes the shoot complicated. And, of course, when we are in Woodbury, we have to close down the principal street, Main Street, through the town of Senoia, GA. So, we have everything that goes along with shutting down a town, but, I have to say, they have been incredibly supportive and you can now visit Senoia and buy a t-shirt from any of the local and independent stores there.
N: Is shooting the series different than shooting a film because the production has that base of operations?
GAH: You know, it's so much harder than shooting a film, and I've done some very, very, very large films, if you look at Armageddon and Terminator 2 and things like that. Because you're shooting 16 hours of stories in less time than you would a feature. So, you have to do more with less money and less time, which means the level of talent on the cast and the crew needs to be that much more intense and committed. On a film, you consider yourself lucky if you do two pages a day; on this show we've done 10-12 pages a day.
N: Oh, wow.
GAH: So, it's a factor and what we strive for every week on The Walking Dead is that we've shot a mini movie, that when the fans watch the show, they're not watching "a TV show" which just looks like every other TV show. Everything from the settings to the photography and the scope should feel like a movie. In that way they're similar.
N: Definitely the look of the show has more in common with a film.
GAH: We even shoot on film.
N: A lot of movies don't even do that anymore. Speaking of the fans, The Walking Dead is one that fans love to discuss, rabidly in some cases, on the internet; how has the internet and social media affected the show, either the way it's produced or the way it's received?
GAH: Through social media, we get immediate feedback. And, of course, a lot of people watch the show and during commercials will tweet about it or post on Facebook or whatever social media platforms they use. But, it allows us to know when people love something or when they don't, and it's an immediate focus group for almost every act of every episode.
N: You came up working for Roger Corman and went on to produce, as you said, some huge, giant sci-fi/horror/action movies; what draws you back time and again to genre stories?
GAH: They've always been my favorite. I was a fan of comic books growing up, of science fiction, fantasy, horror, thrillers… If I had a choice of Jane Austen, I probably would have picked Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was my pleasure reading and that hasn't changed.
N: How have you seen the mainstream reception of genre change over time? Obviously, comic book movies are huge now.
GAH: Exactly, they used to be the B-movies, they aspired to be B-movies, and now they're A-movies. You get the top directors to direct and the top actors performing in them, and that was certainly not the case when I was growing up, but it's tremendous to see.
N: You're one of an unfortunately-small number of female executives in Hollywood; what do you think needs to happen for more women to be put into higher positions?
GAH: I think it's something we see in the overall culture of business. Very few Fortune 500 companies are run by women. Women make up on a small percentage of board seats. This business is no different than any other business so it needs to be a cultural shift. Hopefully, one day we'll have a woman president and that won't seem like such an anomaly that a woman can hold the most powerful position in the land, but we're not there yet. I thought we would have been there years ago.
N: We've seen a lot more female writers and directors lately.
GAH: Not really. Things have not really changed since 1992.There, perhaps, is more attention paid, but the actual number of women working on the top 250 feature films released theatrically is the same as it was in 1992.
N: And, as you said, you think it's a larger problem than just Hollywood?
GAH: Yes, I do. You know, it's slowly changing, I think. In the independent world, it's changing faster. There were more and more films at Sundance this year directed by women. There are more and more women serving on the juries of significant film festivals, but that takes awhile for that to trickle up to the mainstream.
N: From the outside, it can seem like Hollywood is still operating much the same way it did when it was founded in the early-20th Century. Does it feel like that from the inside? Are the same wheels in motion that were in motion 100 years ago?
GAH: I think it's become much more entrepreneurial. It used to be stars were under contract to major motion picture studios and producers and writers were paid a weekly salary, whether they worked or not. And now we see that there are very few deals being made; everyone is now a freelancer. So, there's not as much stability and there's a greater sense of fear, and more and more films seem like we've seen them before. If a particular genre works once, everyone jumps on board, and if a few of them fail, then everyone is convinced that they're no longer working. They don't really examine that fact that, you know, maybe there were a couple films that jumped on the bandwagon and weren't very good. I think outside of the independent world, there's much less originality.
N: Do you think that's why so many creative people have gone to do things on television? Surely, 10-15 years ago, it would have been unheard of to see some of the people on TV who are on now.
GAH: If you look at what one might consider to be the quality of shows on television and the quality of an average feature film, TV has shot up in quality, and I think features have plummeted. So, the most talented people, who have original and unique voices, are finding greater outlets on television. That's where you find, especially on cable, the most character-driven stories with the most compelling roles for actors.
N: Is that a function of cable TV being willing to take more chances than feature films?
GAH: They've taken chances that have worked. If they took chances that didn't work, they'd be re-entrenched in only the procedural world, and now we see that serialized content is working, and risky content is working; new things are working. You're only going to stay on the air if you prove you deserve to stay on the air, because people are watching or you get awards. Or both.
The Walking Dead bites back to television on Sunday, February 10th, at 9/8c on AMC.

CHICAGO (AP) — Drew Peterson's lawyer argues in an appeal mailed Monday to a regional appellate court that a judge and a defense attorney made critical errors during the trial that ended with the former Chicago-area policeman being convicted of killing an ex-wife, denying him a fair trial.
Peterson — who gained notoriety after his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007 — was convicted in 2012 of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Prosecutors had no physical evidence tying Peterson to Savio's death and no witnesses placing him at the scene, so they relied on typically barred hearsay — statements Savio made to others before she died and that Stacy Peterson made before she vanished.
"The State did not present a single eyewitness, physical evidence linking Drew with Kathleen's body, forensic evidence linking Drew with Kathleen's body, or a confession from Drew," the 55-page appeal says. "And while it is true there is no magic formula for a murder conviction, at least one of these pieces of evidence is usually present where an appellate court upholds murder convictions."
Illinois passed a hearsay law in 2008 tailored to Drew Peterson's case, dubbed "Drew's Law," which assisted in making some of the evidence admissible.
The appeal was sent to the 3rd District Appellate Court in Ottawa, where it will be formally filed this week. Peterson attorney Steve Greenberg supplied a copy of the 55-page document to The Associated Press. The appeal asks the higher court to reverse the conviction and find Peterson not guilty — or, at least, order a new trial.
Peterson, 60, is serving a 38-year prison sentence for Savio's 2004 death, which was initially ruled accidental. The investigation was reopened after Stacy Peterson disappeared in 2007. Authorities have said they believe that Stacy Peterson is dead and that Drew Peterson is a suspect, but her body has never been found and he hasn't been charged in that case.
Peterson's appeal singles out one witness, divorce attorney Harry Smith, as sealing Peterson's fate at trial. The defense had hoped that Smith's testimony would discredit Stacy Peterson, because he said she had asked him if she could squeeze more money out of Peterson in a divorce if she threatened to tell police he killed Savio. Instead, the testimony stressed to jurors that Stacy Peterson seemed to truly believe her husband killed Savio.
The appeal argues that not only did then-lead defense attorney Joel Brodsky err in calling Smith, but the judge did as well by allowing the testimony.
"The court knew the witness was going to devastate the defense ... knew it was legal suicide to call Smith," the appeal says. "The court should not have blithely stepped aside simply because the defense wanted to call the witness."
Reached late Monday, Brodsky noted Peterson himself told the judge in court he wanted Smith to testify.
"I am confident that Drew got the best defense a person could get and that the appellate court will find he did not have ineffective assistance," he said. "Mr. Greenberg's appeal strategy is a losing strategy."
A spokesman for the Will County's state's attorney's office, which prosecuted Peterson, said prosecutors had not seen the appeal and could not comment. But Charles Pelkie added, "We are confident in this case and we are confident that it will stand up appeal."
Fascination nationwide with Drew Peterson arose from speculation he used his police expertise to get away with murder. Glib and cocky, he seemed to taunt officials before his 2009 arrest, suggesting a "Win a Date With Drew Contest. His story inspired a TV movie starring Rob Lowe.
The hearsay — any information reported by a witness not based on the witness' direct knowledge — included a friend testifying that Savio told her Peterson once put a knife to her throat and warned her, "I could kill you and make it look like an accident."

Cornerback Ellis Hobbs said an interesting thing this week when someone asked if it felt a little strange for him, as an established veteran, to be at a non-mandatory Organized Team Activity usually reserved for rookies, free agents and selected veterans trying to hold onto their jobs.
"No, brother. I came from New England. Everybody's there. If you could walk, you were there," he said. "It was voluntary-mandatory, if you know what I mean."
We know what you mean, and maybe some of that undercurrent of discipline -- even if the NFLPA might disagree -- is why the Patriots won three Super Bowls recently. It is certainly why quarterback Tom Brady was there this week, getting a jump on knowing the new guys and re-acquainting with the old guys.
Brady is coming off an injury this year, but that's not the motivation. He's there every year, because it is expected that the players, in exchange for their nice salaries, do the extra work that they don't really have to do.
In another organizational environment, Brady could stay at his vacation home with his beautiful wife and he could have passing drills with whatever receivers happen to live in the same resort area. This would qualify as "working hard," even though it wouldn't help his own receivers learn to run routes the way he likes them to be run, or learn to catch the kind of passes he throws.
In other words, he could have the same deal with his team that Donovan McNabb has with his.
McNabb stays in Phoenix when he isn't required to be here, and he has rigorous workout sessions there with his buddies. That's fine. It's what he believes is best for him. But is it best for the Eagles? Is it possible that the five days of OTAs from last week and this week would have benefitted the offense if McNabb got to know and work with LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin?
We'll never know, because that isn't what happens here, even leading up to a season that is pivotal for both the Eagles and McNabb. For all the sternness attributed to Andy Reid, his team operates a lot more loosely than Bill Belichick's. He plays by the rules of the collective bargaining agreement and, perhaps, hopes that players will want to come in even if they don't have to.
When the team leader doesn't take that approach, it is difficult to sell it to the others. Just mark it down as another difference between the Patriots and the Eagles, a difference that is more than three points.

Mathematics disorder is a condition in which a child's math ability is far below normal for their age, intelligence, and education.
Developmental dyscalculia
Children who have mathematics disorder have trouble with simple mathematical equations, such as counting and adding.
Mathematical disorder may appear with:
The child may have trouble with math, as well as low scores in math classes and on tests.
Problems the child may have include:
Standardized tests can assess the child's math ability. Grades and class performance can also help.
The best treatment is remedial education. Other programs that have been successful include Project Math and computer skills.
Early intervention improves the chances of a better outcome.
The child may have problems in school, including behavior problems and loss of self-esteem. Some children with mathematics disorder become anxious or afraid when given math problems, making the problem even worse.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any concerns about your child's development.
Recognizing the problem early is important. Treatment may begin as early as kindergarten or elementary school.

The author of a new paperback about the slaying of Yale University graduate student Annie Le last September concedes that her book is short on exclusive details but says it offers readers a suspenseful and intriguing story.
Stella Sands, the New York-based author of "Murder at Yale: The True Story of a Beautiful Grad Student and a Cold-Blooded Crime," said Monday that she spent eight to 10 hours a day since the September killing researching the crime and writing the 245-page book, due for release today by St. Martin's Press.
Sands said she was unable to interview Raymond J. Clark III, the man accused of killing Le; Clark's fiancée; or members of his family. Clark is being held on $3 million bail at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield. Neither prosecutors nor Clark's defense attorneys were interviewed for the book, she said.
"I have no real inside information, but those who do read it will get a suspenseful story," Sands said in a telephone interview. "I have put together a book based on thousands of pages of information and interviews in a way that is very readable."
Sands said people were "only too willing to talk" to her for three other true-crime books she wrote on other high-profile crimes, including "Baby-Faced Butchers," a book about the slaying of a man in New York's Central Park by a couple of teenagers. So she found it frustrating that officials tied to the Le case were tight-lipped.
She said she believes the silence was due to the fact that the trial for Clark, 25, a former Yale lab technician, is pending. Sands said she did interview people who offered theories as to what might have happened the day of the killing.
Officials have not revealed a motive for the slaying, but sources familiar with the investigation have told The Courant that the crime stemmed from a work dispute between Clark and Le.
Le, 24, was reported missing Sept. 8. For days, investigators searched the basement of the Yale Animal Research Center, a research building that is part of the Yale School of Medicine complex where Clark worked and Le did research.
Police found her body Sept. 13, the day Le was to be married. The search and the subsequent arrest of Clark garnered widespread media attention.
Clark has pleaded not guilty in Superior Court to murder and felony murder.
Joseph E. Lopez, one of Clark's public defenders, said Monday he "never heard from" Sands and learned about the book only recently.
When asked why she did not contact Lopez, Sands replied: "Let's be honest here. What is he going to tell me?"

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The eighth-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks know they have plenty of talent. That's what makes falling behind early and having to rally for victory so frustrating.
They fell behind by double-digits for the third time this season Saturday, trailing Vanderbilt by 14 points before coming back for a 31-28 victory. The comeback was keyed by Jerry Franklin's 94-yard fumble return for a touchdown that turned a 28-20 deficit in the fourth quarter into a 28-all tie.
Arkansas receiver Chris Gragg said it gives him a heart attack sometimes falling behind, even though the Razorbacks now have won four straight.
"We never really are on the sidelines thinking we are going to lose because we have done it so many times, and I just think we have the playmakers and that drive to get the W," Gragg said.
Razorbacks defensive end Jake Bequette said the growing reputation for slow starts in the first half is very frustrating.
"We're definitely not satisfied with where we are right now. We're not happy at all," Bequette said. "We're happy to be 7-1. It's a great position. It looks good on paper, but we know we're capable of much better on defense and offense. When we put a complete game together, it's going to be something sweet."
The Razorbacks (3-1 in the Southeastern Conference) are 7-1 for only the third time since moving to the SEC and first since 2006. They now prepare to start a three-game homestand against No. 10 South Carolina, off to its best start under coach Bobby Petrino.
"The thing I am happy about is we are going home 7-1," Petrino said. "You know, it has been a tough go for our football team."
Arkansas trailed 21-7 in the first half and never led Vanderbilt until Zach Hockner's third field goal, a 42-yarder, with 6:53 left. The best offense in the SEC was held to 388 yards, and Arkansas gave up 462 yards to the Commodores. Defensive coordinator Willy Robinson called the Razorbacks' defensive play erratic.
"We couldn't get anything stopped in the first half, and again it came back in the second half where we did," Robinson said. "We couldn't create a pass-rush with four guys. We had to sit down and create pressure. Honestly, we're still searching."
Arkansas had two sacks and forced three turnovers, turning those into 10 points thanks to Franklin's fumble return. Tyler Wilson threw for 316 yards and a TD. Backup quarterback Brandon Mitchell also ran for a TD.
Wilson set a school record for consecutive passes without an interception, a streak now at 176 and counting despite going against a Vanderbilt defense that came in leading the SEC and tied for first nationally with 15 interceptions. His streak continues only because the Commodores couldn't hold onto a handful of balls they got their hands on.
The junior showed off his strength and resiliency as he took a beating from the Commodores, who sacked him three times and hit him repeatedly. Tim Fugger's second sack took Wilson to the ground so hard fans went "Oh!" watching the replay.
But Wilson helped start the latest comeback to go with those against Texas A&M and last week against Mississippi. He found Jarius Wright for a 30-yard completion on fourth-and-10 with the clock running down, then tossed a perfect pass to him in the end zone for an 11-yard TD on the next play to trim Vandy's lead to 21-14 at halftime.
"If you learn anything from the World Series, it's that you just hang in there and keep going," Petrino said.
Wright finished with 135 yards on 10 catches, not counting the 2-point conversion catch that tied the game at 28.
"You can't get frustrated winning," Wright said. "You can get frustrated by not starting out like you expect your team to do. We know how good we are. We expect to start faster. We expect to play way better than we played. We did get the win. You can never be mad getting the win."
Still, the Razorbacks couldn't stop Vanderbilt from driving from its own 10 starting with 3:03 left down to the Arkansas 10 in the final seconds. Jordan Rodgers, who threw for a TD and ran for two others, missed tight end Brandon Barden in the end zone before throwing the ball away on third down. Carey Spear's 27-yard field goal to force overtime was wide right with 8 seconds left.
"We're lucky they missed the kick," Bequette said. "I felt like our chances were good in overtime, but I'm glad we didn't have to do that."

$1.88 million funds two medical professorships in geriatric medicine
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications, UH Foundation
While Victor and Margaret "Peggy" Pavel are no longer with us, their transformational $11.5 million estate gift continues to build areas of UH excellence for the benefit of Hawai'i's people. Of this historic estate gift, $1.88 million was designated to create endowed professorships in medicine at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM).
"This gift will help us support two faculty members on an ongoing basis who will contribute to both training and research in geriatric medicine," said Dr. Jerris Hedges, Dean of JABSOM. "Expertise in geriatric medicine is very important for Hawai'i as we have one of the oldest populations in the U.S. We know that, as we age, a variety of conditions can develop. Having faculty who are focused on understanding the physiology of aging, and how to work hand-in-hand with the patient to have healthy aging, is really a key part of our training program.
"We have a wonderful teaching program," Hedges continued, "and are doing some phenomenal research in geriatrics and work in the community. This gift will greatly enhance our ability to build our training and research programs and better serve Hawai'i's people."
The first two Victor and Peggy Brandstrom Pavel Endowed Professors in Medicine have been selected.
Kamal Masaki, MD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Geriatric Medicine, was one of the first graduates of the UH Fellowship Program in Geriatric Medicine. She has been on faculty in the department since 1991 and is board certified in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine.
She served as Program Director of the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program from 2004-2012, as Acting Department Chair from 2008-2011, and was appointed Department Chair in 2011. Dr. Masaki's research and teaching track record is extensive and includes being part of a research team focused on chronic disease epidemiology in the elderly.
Dr. Masaki has served as clinical director of the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study, Honolulu Heart Program, The Women's Health Initiative, and numerous other related studies for the past 23 years. In addition, she has co-authored more than 200 manuscripts, the majority of which have been published in national peer-reviewed journals.
She continues to actively teach at all levels, particularly in the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program, and is responsible for all curricula in Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Medicine for UH medical students, residency programs, allied health students and professionals.
Dr. Masaki notes, "I am honored to be selected as a Victor and Peggy Brandstrom Pavel Endowed Professor in Medicine. We are very grateful to the Pavel family for this extremely generous gift that will help us train the next generation of geriatricians and researchers in aging."
Dr. Christina Bell, MD, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Geriatric Medicine, has served as the Program Director of the UH Fellowship Program in Geriatric Medicine for the past two years.
She earned her undergraduate degree at UH Mānoa and her medical degree at JABSOM. After completing her family medicine residency training on the mainland, she returned to practice medicine in Kea'au, Hawai'i, for three years where she witnessed first-hand Hawai'i's need for physicians trained in geriatric medicine.
She then completed her Geriatric Medicine Fellowship and a PhD in Clinical Research at UH, and holds Certificates of Added Qualification in Geriatric as well as Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Her achievements include being a primary author or co-author on 31 publications, over 40 scientific abstracts and being selected for a five-year Geriatric Academic Career Award from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Said Dr. Bell, "I am very thankful to the Pavel family and the University of Hawai'i for this support. I look forward to training our next generation of physicians to care for Hawai'i's older adults."
In announcing the selection of the newly endowed professors, Dean Hedges noted, "Drs. Masaki and Bell exemplify the quality and depth of leadership we have within our Department of Geriatric Medicine at JABSOM. Both are outstanding clinicians and educators who are committed to training the next generation of geriatricians for our community. They are very actively involved in aging research and have published extensively. More importantly, they serve as excellent role models and mentors for our medical students, residents, fellows and allied health professionals, inspiring them to consider careers in this critically needed field of medicine."
We invite you to read about Victor and Peggy Brandstrom Pavel's life and learn about what motivated them to make this phenomenal gift.
Watch video of Dean Hedges thanking the late donors and sharing the impact of the fund.
The University of Hawai'i Foundation, a nonprofit organization, raises private funds to support the University of Hawai'i System. The mission of the University of Hawai'i Foundation is to unite donors' passions with the University of Hawai'i's aspirations by raising philanthropic support and managing private investments to benefit UH, the people of Hawai'i and our future generations. www.uhfoundation.org
The John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), named for a visionary governor, was founded in 1965. The school has trained more than 4,500 medical doctors through its MD or residency programs; nearly half of Hawai`i's current practicing physicians.

Jim Fennell: Sometimes underdogs win the big onesJIM FENNELL
November 21. 2012 10:47PM
Today's NH Turkey BowlsSomersworth at Spaulding, 10 a.m.
Nashua North-Nashua South at Stellos Stadium, 10 a.m.
Souhegan at Merrimack, 10 a.m.
Dover at Portsmouth, 10 a.m.
Central-Trinity at Gill Stadium, Manchester, 10:15 a.m.
Wednesday night's game
Lawrence, Mass., 28, Salem 0
MANCHESTER -- Don't expect the players and coaches from Trinity High to think they can't beat Central in today's 32nd annual Turkey Bowl at Gill Stadium.
That's just not part of a competitor's makeup.
And, sometimes it's good to think you're not an underdog.
Sometimes you need to believe you are just as good as the team you are playing.
Dick Powers and his Trinity High team certainly did 41 years ago.
That was the "Snow Bowl" game of 1971 between the Pioneers and the Crusaders of Memorial High. People still talk about it.
The Memorial team that year, with players like quarterback Tom Kathan and running back Dave Croasdale, is mentioned in the conversation as one of the best teams the city ever produced. Powers coached a Trinity team that, much like this year's Trinity team, wasn't as flashy, but was effective.
Back then, the Thanksgiving Day game was part of the regular season and there were no playoffs. With Memorial being undefeated and Trinity having just one loss, the game would decide the Division I champion that year in addition to who was the city champion.
Memorial was 9-0 and playing for the title was expected. Trinity was 8-1 and kind of ssneaked up on people.
The Pioneers lost their season opener to Nashua, but won their next eight and had just knocked off highly-regarded St. John's Prep of Danvers, Mass. They certainly didn't believe they were the underdogs.
"I didn't feel that way," Powers said. "I guess other people did."
There was no upset that day. Trinity lost 12-6 in such white out conditions that the grass field at Gill Stadium had to be plowed at halftime just so the game could continue. Powers said he was proud of his players, said they left it all on the field that day.
And that bring us to this morning's game.
There are no state titles on the line. The playoffs are over. This is just about bragging rights to see who is the best team in the city.
Trinity went to the championship game in Division IV this year, losing a 7-0 heartbreaker to Plymouth. The Pioneers are 9-2.
Central lost 42-21 to Exeter in the first round of the Division I playoffs and is 6-5.
The Little Green are still the favorites.
Let's answer that question with a question: If Trinity didn't beat Central in last year's Turkey Bowl, why do you think it can do it today?
Central was 6-4 and didn't make the Division I playoffs last year; Trinity was 11-0 and coming off a 30-14 win over Plymouth in the Division IV championship game.
In the final 2011 Union Leader/WGAM/WMUR Power Poll, Trinity was ranked eighth and Central was ninth.
Central won the game, 37-26.
The Little Green also beat the Pioneers, 7-6, in this game two years ago. They have won the last four Turkey Bowls and 15 of the last 18.
What do you expect will change today?
Powers, who left Trinity shortly after that memorable game in 1971 and took over as the head coach at Manchester West, returned to Trinity in 2003 to help keep the football program going when it was on the brink of falling apart because of a lack of participation and competitiveness. Although he no longer coaches, he is still there as an administrator and teacher and believes the Pioneers are ready for today.
Like his players back in 1971, Powers said these Pioneers believe. They do.
"Everyone sees it as Division IV against Division I, but we view them as equals," Trinity quarterback Carmen Giampetruzzi said. "They may have more numbers, but it only takes 11 on the field."
Giampetruzzi said Powers is one of the team's biggest backers, never letting them forget the program's rich tradition, one that includes wins in five of the first six Turkey Bowls - all wins over Central.
"He's always there rooting us on," Giampetruzzi said. "He knows it's more than just a game. We want to win the bragging rights."
There were 10,000 people that braved the blizzard-like conditions to watch the Snow Bowl game in 1971. There probably won't be half that many today. Maybe the stakes aren't as high, but Powers believes the game still means something.
"It's still a big deal to the kids," Powers said. "I just wish there were more people to see it."
One person who won't be in the stands is Powers. He's at most of Trinity's games, but not today. Family obligations.
"That's a sore point for me," Powers said.
Maybe, just maybe, the Pioneers will bring news back to Powers of a great victory over the Little Green.
After all, sometimes the underdogs do win.

Cotton is simply a high-input crop, and it's difficult to cut costs without negatively impacting yields or quality, says Patrick Johnson, Tunica County, Miss., cotton producer.
That is why Johnson, a participant in an innovative grower panel at the 2007 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in New Orleans, focuses on making sure selected high-cost inputs provide a good level of return on investment.
"The most important thing for us is to focus on soil fertility and pH. We became concerned about this several years ago when we started seeing that some of the top-producing cotton fields on our farm weren't making the yields we were expecting in good years. Also, the crop didn't seem to have much ability to handle stress in dry years."
Johnson hired a consultant to sample some of the fields in question on 2.5-acre grids. "In one field, we had an average pH of around 5.6, which is well below where we would like to see it. We had a good portion of the field in the 5.2 to 5.4 range.
"Our first goal was to try and bring the entire field to 5.8. Ultimately, we are shooting for a minimum 6.0 pH. A prescription application map of the field in 2000 showed that portions of the field needed over 2 tons of lime. An application like that is difficult to apply in one pass and even more difficult to pay for.
"So we implemented a program to budget a certain amount each year toward fertility and pH, and took soil samples about every three years."
In 2003, the field was re-sampled "and there was a dramatic improvement in pH after we had made two variable-rate lime applications. And the prescription map taken from those samples showed we had a very manageable application to bring the entire field up to 6.0."
Crop yields have also improved with variable-rate applications of lime and fertilizer, "and we've avoided some poor yields that could have come during years that weren't that good for cotton in Tunica."
In the fall, Johnson uses a Paratill subsoiler to break up any hardpan. "That's followed by a middle buster and a roller to freshen up our seedbed.
"One implement we've been pleased with is a combination bedder-roller which works well in certain soil conditions. It puts up a nice, wide, seedbed with a flat top that is easy to plant on. We also like the cost savings from being able to combine two operations in one trip through the field.
"In situations where we don't have existing seedbeds to follow, we use a GPS auto-steer system to put up our beds. We are on a 12-row, 38-inch spacing pattern. We feel like the guidance system does a much more uniform job and is much easier on the operator."
In late February or early March, Johnson will make a burndown application of glyphosate, "plus we'll add either 2,4-D or Clarity for glyphosate-resistant horseweed, which has become a very serious issue in our area.
"The next time we enter the field will be for planting. This is an area where I think we can shave some costs by decreasing our seeding rates from what we were doing 10 years ago. There may be some debate on this, but we believe that with seed populations around 40,000 per acre in good soil and environmental conditions, we're safe, and it seems to be working for us."
Most of Johnson's varieties are either Roundup Ready or Roundup Ready Flex cotton lines. "Our herbicide program is primarily glyphosate underneath the crop with a hooded sprayer or over-the-top with a ground rig or an airplane. We've had Flex cotton on our farm for two years, with about 15 percent planted to Flex varieties in 2006.
"We were really pleased with the results, especially in areas where we've had significant pigweed pressure in the past."
The farm plants mostly Bt cotton outside of the refuge areas. "After we get through our early-season pests and cutworms, we're mainly scouting for plant bugs."
Harvest season begins around mid-September "and is another area where new technology has made an impact. We take the GPS equipment out of our tractors and sprayers and install them on our cotton pickers."
Yield monitors on the pickers indicate to the Johnson where the problem areas in the field are located. "We also are able to quantify how much these problems areas are costing us. If we have a low fertility area that has shown up in our soil samples, the maps can motivate us a little more into taking care of it."
Another use for yield monitors are on-farm test plots. "We'll try two different practices and we can get a good comparison on the yield map.
"We've implemented all these practices to try and stay productive, and I think the use of new technology is one key to that," Johnson said. "I'm also excited about the things I see on the horizon, especially the coming new technologies in cotton for harvesting."

Marissa Borst learned the practical skills she needed to become a successful interior designer at Suffolk University, but she also gained something more intangible: the confidence to lead and an ability to "tell the future."
As an interior architectural designer with Architecture + Design Associates in Virginia, Borst works on projects ranging from commercial buildings and corporate interiors to senior living, healthcare and hospitality spaces.
An eye to the future
Borst credits her success in the professional workplace and beyond to the lessons she learned at Suffolk and said that the University's New England School of Art & Design gave her the skills to tell the future through renderings that show clients her design vision in a concrete way.
"Having the comfort that the client knows what to expect from the final design is very rewarding," said Borst.
While at Suffolk, Borst, who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2006, was captain of the dance team, an orientation leader and scholar and a peer mentor. That was how she discovered her leadership abilities and love of teaching.
Creativity and leadership
"It wasn't just the Suffolk education that has helped me to be where I am today," she said. "It was during the Suffolk experience as a whole that I nurtured my love to create, my inner desire to teach, and found my confidence to lead."
Today, she teaches piano and dance, partly because she feels it's important to teach her daughter, Eve Autumn, "to keep your passions alive."
Borst also expresses her creative nature as owner/artist of All's Well That Ends Well Designs, a company that creates personalized artwork for clients.
'Paying it forward'
She hopes one day to be a managing partner and principal of a full-service design firm and to teach design and art at the college level.
"That's my dream job," she said. "I want to pay it forward by being an inspiration to others."
Borst shared her story with other young alumni who were recognized for their career accomplishments at a "10 Under 10" reception in April. All 10 of the alumni honored earned their Suffolk University degrees within the past decade.

Sand is becoming New England coastal dwellers' most coveted and controversial commodity as they try to fortify beaches against rising seas and severe erosion caused by violent storms.
From Westerly, R.I., to Eliot, Maine, debates over who gets sand, who pays for it and where it comes from are fast becoming some of the region's most contentious oceanfront issues. In many cases, taxpayers are being asked to foot some of the bill for beach-rebuilding projects.
"It's called the sand wars,'' said S. Jeffress Williams, a coastal geologist and scientist emeritus with the United States Geological Survey in Woods Hole and the University of Hawaii. The disputes, happening across the coastal U.S., "are only going to get more intense," he said.
Among the seaside squabbles, some residents in Salisbury want $300,000 in state taxpayer dollars for sand to help protect private homes from the ocean's fury.
Winthrop Beach is poised to receive an estimated 20,000 truckloads of sand from Saugus as part of a massive beach replenishment and improvement project that is costing state taxpayers $26 million.
And in ocean-battered Nantucket and Plum Island, residents want to pay privately for sand to stand sentry against the encroaching ocean — but are running into regulators' opposition over how best to protect property.
For all the billions of grains of silica on and off New England's coastline, sand is maddeningly difficult — and expensive — to get. Fishermen and their regulators have opposed the mining of offshore sand because they worry it will harm sea life. Environmental officials say bulldozing it across beaches can accelerate erosion and harm bird nesting grounds. Mining and trucking sand from inland sources to beaches can be more than four times as expensive, damage roads and produce sand that is often darker and a different texture.
Meanwhile, large amounts of sand once deposited onto area beaches as a byproduct of federal navigational dredging are declining along with funding for those projects.
The stakes are rising with sea levels.
New England seas are rising at an annual rate three to four times faster than the global average. Scientists predict that seas here could rise 3 feet by the end of the century and we could see more powerful storms of the ilk of those in 2011 and 2012. The one-two punch of powerful storm surges atop higher seas is expected to mean more erosion and flooding — all of it farther inland.
Replenishing beaches is big business elsewhere along the Atlantic Coast, where long meandering ribbons of sand from New York to Florida have been fortified for decades to protect shore front homes and vacation destinations. New England beaches tend to be smaller and much of the coast is privately owned, so big projects never gained much political traction. There also is, environmentalists say, a leftover suspicion of mining anything from the sea that stretches back to oil exploration attempts in the early 1980s.
But as officials frown upon the new construction of seawalls because it can exacerbate erosion, sand is becoming increasingly valuable as the first line of defense against the ocean.
Record-keeping is poor on New England sand replenishment, although Massachusetts has begun to develop a database to track its use. Using that database and in interviews with coastal communities, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting conservatively estimates more than $40 million in federal, state and local funds have been spent to place sand on Massachusetts' public beaches in the last 10 years. That amount is minuscule compared to the billions being spent to protect and replenish beaches farther south in the wake of Sandy — yet coastal specialists say demand for sand is guaranteed to rise for both public and private beaches.
Massachusetts is now re-examining the possibility of mining sand offshore and a special commission on coastal erosion has been established by the state Legislature.
Many coastal dwellers and communities argue that the state and federal governments need to take care of beaches much the way they take care of roads. But others, often those farther away, say constantly replenishing beaches, many in front of second homes, with taxpayer dollars is a losing proposition.
"I don't think taxpayers have any idea what they are paying for,'' said Peter Shelley, senior counsel for the Conservation Law Foundation, a legal advocacy group. He said public dollars are needed to protect Boston's infrastructure to ensure the region's economic hub is protected, not "people's beach houses. These beach replenishment projects are temporary at best."
The idea seemed simple more than a decade ago: Mine gravel and sand some eight miles off Winthrop's storm-battered beach and place it in front of a sea wall to act as the town's first defense against powerful waves.
But fishermen and their federal regulators opposed the sand mining, saying it would disturb essential habitat for cod. After years of controversy, it was decided that trucks would bring in the sand not from any ocean source, but from an abandoned highway project in Saugus. The price tag is close to three times the original planned cost.
The project — one of the longest and most controversial in the state over sand — has had a chilling effect, coastal community officials and engineers say.
"Massachusetts is one of the most restrictive states for sand mining,'' said John Ramsey, coastal engineer and co-owner of Applied Coastal Research and Engineering in Mashpee, which works with coastal communities on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. He said fishing interests have prevented the conversation here but elsewhere "sand mining is accepted — and encouraged as a method of shore protection."
Massachusetts has permitted only a few private and public projects to take sand from offshore specifically for beach replenishment and pump it onto nearby beaches, according to a review of dozens of projects. One, for example, allows Orleans officials to take sand each year from flats about 500 feet from Skaket Beach.
Yet the rising demand for sand has the state re-examining offshore mining. The state is updating its ocean plan "to identify areas that have the least conflicts," said Bruce Carlisle, director of the state Office of Coastal Zone Management. He cautioned any sand mining would need to "be balanced with other interests" such as protecting fish habitat and other environmental and maritime concerns.
Some coastal experts are calling for a regional approach: Find pockets of sand offshore that everyone could mine. While Winthrop's offshore proposal became an environmental flashpoint, not every area needs to be.
"You could strategically select sand sources…and borrow appropriately to minimize environmental impact,'' said Bob Hamilton, a coastal engineer and vice president of the Woods Hole Group in Falmouth, an environmental consulting firm.
Historically, much of the sand deposited on area beaches was a byproduct — material dredged to clear navigational channels.
But large-scale navigation projects by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are declining in New England. In Massachusetts, for example, there were about six projects per year in the early and mid 2000s, according to the Corps. Excluding Superstorm Sandy work, there have been none in the last three years, according to Ed O'Donnell, chief of navigation for the Corps New England District. The region, with few deep ports and relatively small amounts of cargo traffic, does not compete well against other regions in the country for navigational projects, he said. So when a navigation project is planned — as one is now in the Maine town of Eliot to dredge the Piscataqua River — communities can line up to get sand.
Some communities, such as in Barnstable County, banded together with the state's help to buy a dredge that allows them to mine sand-clogged channels and inlets that can be as much as 70 percent below the market rate. But many other coastal communities do not have such options and must get sand elsewhere. Duxbury Beach Reservation Inc., a nonprofit, spent more than $1 million this year rebuilding dunes with imported quarry sand.
"We are always looking for sand,'' said Margaret Kearney, president of the reservation.
The fresh layered dunes and snow fencing in front of beach homes on Plum Island's southern end belie the ragged erosion from this year's February blizzard and March nor'easter. The storms toppled or forced the demolition of seven homes on the Newbury portion of the island.
The destruction intensified homeowners' long fight with state officials for the right to save their property.
Several homeowners were allowed by the state and Army Corps to take sand, called scraping, from the beach to place in front of homes last year right before Sandy as an emergency measure. Yet state and federal officials rarely approve beach scraping because it can harm bird and other wildlife habitat and even exacerbate erosion because it changes the contours of a beach. Now, a larger group of homeowners is expected to apply this year for beach scraping - setting up a possible showdown with regulators.
"We need to protect beaches,'' said Bob Connors, a Plum Island resident whose Newbury beachfront house is threatened by the sea. The beach provides "protection for roadways and other structures behind them. If we want to have beaches in Massachusetts we have to sustain them — it's just like painting a bridge," he said.
A few miles north on Salisbury Beach, Ray Champagne, head of the Salisbury Beach Betterment Association, agrees. Oceanfront owners spent upward of $5,000 each in the last year to recreate dunes in front of their homes taken by last year's storms. But the state beach in front of them remains low, raising fears the ocean may come in even faster this nor'easter season to overcome their dunes and flood homes. They want a $300,000 earmark — vetoed by Gov. Deval Patrick but overridden by the Legislature — to be used to put sand on the state beach, but in front of homes. So far, no decision has been made by the state where to put the sand.
"We don't like to have a neighbor that doesn't take care of their property,'' said Champagne.
The trials of Salisbury and Plum Island helped spark state Sen. Bruce Tarr, a Gloucester Republican, to sponsor legislation this year to create a special commission on coastal erosion to decide a critical question.
"Are we going to retreat or are we going to defend the coast?" Tarr asked. "And if we are going to defend, how are we going to do it?"

The new DV3T rheometer features full color touch-screen technology. This major redesign enhances ease of use, while adding popular features. The new DV3T offers an advanced user experience in viscosity measurement and measurement. The 7-in. full-color touch screen conveniently displays all test parameters along with measured values for yield stress, viscosity, and temperature. On-screen graphing shows real-time test data that can be captured in stand-alone mode, recorded on a printer, or sent to a PC. Built-in math models, such as Power Law, can provide rapid data analysis for flow index and other selectable variables. Quick, straight-forward, single-point viscosity is also easily accomplished with the DV3T making it an "all-in-one" instrument for busy QC labs, as well as demanding R&D departments doing comprehensive flow behavior.

Spaces and Community Topic Pages
Spaces are going away in the new platform. Content will no longer be bound to a "space" but will be searchable through metadata instead. When you write a question or create a blog, you will not need to assign that content to a space. You will just need to pick an appropriate tag for that content instead.
The new landscape will help us to eliminate the sense of many individual communities built around inflexible spaces and move to a single community experience that supports the most relevant topics with user-generated content -- sometimes referred to as "UGC."
In place of spaces, we'll have community topic pages to provide a quick, consolidated view of dynamically fed, user-generated content related to a specific topic. It's important to note that not all spaces will become a community topic page.
Community topic pages will replace some existing space overview pages but there will not be a one-to-one shift of space overview pages to topic pages. We conducted an analysis of relevant, active Jive spaces as a way to provide continuity in terms of user experience and expectation. As a result of that analysis and an alignment with the SAP product portfolio and 1DX metadata model, community topic pages were selected. Current spaces that did not get selected will either be consolidated with other related topics or discontinued.
To find the content from a space you used to follow, and to see where and how to post similar content now, see this mapping Excel spreadsheet (89.5KB).
The benefits of moving from spaces to community topic pages
The consolidation of spaces based on the SAP product portfolio and overall alignment with 1DX metadata will help users find and focus on content related to the most relevant topics. Page editors will be able to feature content and links, but automated feeds of user-generated content will surface the most recent activity on a community topic page without the need for editors to place content manually.
This user-generated content will not be limited to a single community topic page -- as this content is not confined to a single space. The tagging schema will allow user-generated content to be easily fed to multiple topic pages based on how the user tags the content.
How tagging works in the new community
In the new community tagging model, managed tags allow users to align their content (e.g., blogs and Q&A) with the related topic(s). All managed tags are defined according to the 1DX metadata schema.
When users click "Create" from the future UI, like today, they will be presented with an interface in which they put in content and metadata, but with an intuitive UI that enables easy tagging.
Users must select a single managed tag, called a "primary tag," to designate the main subject matter of their content. They may select additional managed tags as well.
User-generated tags are also permitted to provide an additional layer of content categorization.
In either case, tags will be suggested by type-ahead functionality, and users will be able to create their own user tags.
Content will aggregate around both types of tags. In other words, users will be able to see content when they click on either type of tag, although there may be more to display around the managed tags.
Users may only choose a single primary tag (and they must choose one before publishing), but they can enter as many additional tags as they want.

Pro Skier Ani Haas Punched a Bear to Survive Attack [VIDEO]
Ani Haas, a former member of the U.S. ski team, was jogging on an outdoor trail in Missoula, Montana Friday when she inadvertently got between a mother black bear and her cubs.
When momma bear attacked the 24-year-old, Haas "got big," which is the counter-intuitive protocol for dealing with an aggressive black bear. Since that wasn't enough to stop the bear's charge, Haas was forced to punch the wild beast in the head, and then beat it with a rock.
Miraculously, Haas ended up pacifying the bear, and escaped with only flesh wounds. Watch her talk about her ordeal below.

NetApp Deduplication and Compression
NetApp data deduplication and data compression, part of our Data ONTAP operating system, help boost storage efficiency.
NetApp® data deduplication and data compression are fundamental components of our core Data ONTAP® operating architecture. These innovative data reduction features can be used across multiple applications and storage tiers–including primary data, backup data, and archival data–to help you manage your data resources with greater efficiency.
Uncontrolled data proliferation is a huge problem. The average UNIX® or Windows® disk volume contains thousands or even millions of duplicate or compressible data objects that get stored across all storage tiers.
NetApp data deduplication combines the benefits of granularity, performance, and resiliency to give you a significant advantage in the race to meet ever-increasing storage capacity demands.
NetApp data compression is a new feature that compresses data as it is written to NetApp FAS and V-Series storage systems. Like deduplication, NetApp data compression works in both SAN and NAS environments, and it is agnostic to both application and storage tier.

CAIRO (AP) — The EU president has told Egypt's Islamist president that guarantees of freedoms of expression and religions are essential for attracting foreign investors and tourists.
Herman van Rompuy added that genuine democracy can be achieved only through consensus and inclusiveness. He spoke after meeting Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, who is facing an economic crisis brought on by two years of political turmoil.
Morsi is Egypt's first freely elected president, but the six months he has been in office have been defined by what his liberal and secular critics see as attempts by his fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood to monopolize power and the hurried adoption of a constitution drafted by his Islamist allies and adopted by nearly 64 percent of the voters in a referendum, with a turnout of just 32 percent.

We recently talked with Prof. Neal about the nationwide egg recall, precautions for consumers and the controversy regarding Salmonella vaccination.
Q: Federal and state agencies are tracking reported cases of Salmonella, which has been linked to the current egg recall. What can you tell us about the current situation?
Neal: Right now we have one of the largest outbreaks and recalls associated with fresh eggs. Salmonella is very common in chickens, the chickens can then pass the Salmonella on to their eggs. If we eat the eggs that are not cooked properly, or if they are partially cooked - like sunny side up, Caesar dressings, meringues and pies - then we can get sick. Symptoms of Salmonella are usually vomiting, diarrhea, you are uncomfortable and you may need hospitalization. For our family members that are immune-compromised - the elderly, the very young - hospitalization can occur and in some cases death. Salmonella is so common. It just seems tragic people would die from their breakfast. Right now the government is conducting testing at the two farms.
Q: What's being done to address the outbreak, and what safety precautions should people take in the meantime?
Neal: All of the recalled eggs are being destroyed. If you are handling eggs you need to wash you hands, the bowls and the countertops. Spray all of that down and wash it thoroughly. Don't use those dishes or utensils for something else after they've come in contact with raw egg, you risk cross contamination. Cook eggs well-done. If you are used to eating eggs over-easy or over-medium, cook them over-well done and you will be fine.
Q: Can you explain the controversy about the vaccine being used on hens in Great Britain and why it's not being used here?
It is a new vaccine that Great Britain has vaccinated its hens with. It has eliminated a lot of the Salmonella there, but the U.S. feels that the data is inconclusive. The cost associated with the vaccine would have raised the price of a dozen eggs only a penny. There is a little bit of controversy - should we have opted to go that route? I kind of lean in the direction of vaccination.
Q: What is happening with the eggs that are still being produced at the farm in question? Should people continue to worry?
Neal: The chickens at those farms are still producing eggs, those eggs are being shelled and used in ingredients. They will be pasteurized, cooked and so there is no risk to the consumer then.
For a little bit longer we should continue to be aware. If you are immune-compromised or if you have recently had surgery, you may want to avoid eggs a little longer. Healthy adults, we're fine. Just remember to keep eggs refrigerated, handle them properly in the kitchen and don't be afraid of them. I had two eggs for breakfast this morning.
