TRENTON – Permit and Probationary License holders under the age of 21, and their parents or guardians, are reminded that Kyleigh's Law, which requires the use of license plate decals, will take effect Saturday, May 1.
Failure to display the decals will result in a fine of $100 in addition to any other fines incurred.
The red, reflectorized decals must be displayed on the top left corner of the front and rear license plates of any vehicle operated by a driver under the age of 21 who possesses a Special Learner's Permit, Examination Permit or Probationary License (formerly known as Provisional).
A Probationary License features a "Z" restriction noting that the driver is subject to all Graduated Driver License (GDL) rules and restrictions, including Kyleigh's Law.
Decals are available at any Motor Vehicle Commission Agency for $4 dollars per pair.
For more information about Kyleigh's Law or other requirements of New Jersey's GDL law, visit www.njmvc.gov. Information is also available at www.njteendriving.com, a website provided by the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey and funded by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety.

2002 Chanson, Beaune Clos-des-Mouches:
Young, tight and not especially concentrated; with time, some of the vineyard and fruit shows but this is not even in the same league as Drouhin's Mouches. And at $55, it has no QPR.
2000 Chat. Listran, Médoc Cuvée Prestige:
My dog used to run in a pasture adjacent to our house and eat cow dung – this smells like her breath after such a run, but it also has some ripe cassis and blackberry tones; shows young in the mouth with everything not quite together, even so, there's solid black fruit, spice and earth elements, a balanced structure and a certain elegance to it all; medium finish. Identifable as Bordeaux and reasonable at $10.
2000 J.J. Christoffel, Riesling Kabinett Ürziger Würzgarten:
Joyous juice! Clean, stony, fruit scents and flavors, bright in the mouth, lovely balance, charming in every aspect. And at 7.5% alcohol, lunch is the perfect time to have a glass or two. I think this producer bottles fun as well as wine. Close-out price, $12.
2004 Dom. Saint Luc, Coteaux du Tricastin:
Charming, lightweight, ready to drink immediately, nicely balanced southern Rhône that smells inviting, tastes fresh, bright and carries only 12.5% alcohol but is entirely ripe. A lovely "little" wine. About $9.
2004 Dom. Saint Luc, Côtes do Rhône Villages:
Hard to distinguish from the forgoing wine save for an extra half point of alcohol which is reflected in a slightly rounder, softer mouth feel. If I have to choose, I like the Tricastin but both are ready to go and very pleasant. About $10.
Best, Jim

Woman dies after crash into pond; 3 others hurt
Teen jumps into pond to rescue crash victims
A crash in Brevard County sent one vehicle into a retention pond, and one woman lost her life.
The crash happened some time before 3:50 p.m. Thursday in front of the Church of Viera. Authorities said a vehicle driven by Contesa Gissendanner, 38, ran a stop sign and struck another vehicle, which caused it to end up in a pond.
Joan Phaneuf, 79, and Floyd Phaneuf, 72, were in the car that crashed into the pond.
Witness Kevin Brodeur, 19, jumped in to make a rescue.
"The window was cracked open a little bit so I pulled the window down," Brodeur said. "I felt the woman inside and her seat belt was still on."
Despite Brodeur's heroic efforts, Joan Phaneuf did not survive.
Floyd Phaneuf and two other people were rushed to a hospital.

Get It, Ya Bish! 5 Co-Stars We Want On Kendrick Lamar's Next Film
At this very moment, somewhere Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" is blaring out of a speaker. Comparisons and critiques aside, the Compton MC has fulfilled his goals and made it relevant to be creative within Hip-Hop again. Lyricist of the Year. Check. Putting his life in these twelve songs, Kendrick Lamar has shut up dissenters ('cept for Shyne; c'mon man!) and led the charge of real rap returning to the radio.
All of this got us to thinking, while we jam out to "Money Trees" — who could star in K. Dot's sequel? Being realistic, we know Kendrick isn't going to drop another album until after his Top Dawg Entertainment comrades release their solo projects. But one can dream, no? With that in mind, we mused 5 Co-Stars We Want On Kendrick Lamar's Next Film, which you can check out in our gallery above!

William Houghton Leslie was born July 10, 1932 in Milan, Ohio to William Houghton and Mildred (Wilkinson) Leslie. His father, born in West Africa, had been a teacher and minister. Leslie graduated from Bob Jones University in 1953. He then attended Wheaton College and graduated in 1954 with honors. In 1956 he married Adrienne Andrews, together they had two daughters and two sons.
The same year he became pastor of First Baptist Church in Pekin, Illinois, a position he held for three years. In 1959 he became an assistant pastor at Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, working with Alan Redpath. During this time he began graduate studies in Wheaton College's Graduate School and graduated with a Masters of Divinity in 1961.
After his studies were completed he assumed the pastorate of LaSalle Street Church in Chicago's Near North neighborhood, a position he would hold for nearly thirty years. Early in his pastorate he began studies at Northwestern University, receiving a Master of Arts degree in 1965. He was a Graduate Teaching Fellow at Northwestern from 1969 to 1970. During this same period, until 1973, Leslie was an Adjunct Instructor at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois.
In 1976, Leslie was granted a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. His dissertation was written on the concept of women in the Pauline corpus in light of the social and religious environment of the first century. The following year he served as adjunct instructor at North Park Seminary in Chicago. This began a decade and a half career educating urban pastors, mainly with the Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education in Chicago. During this time he also served as an adjunct instructor at Wheaton Graduate School, Ontario Theological Seminary and Bethel Theological Seminary.
In 1985 Leslie was elected to Board of Community Renewal Society and served as its president in 1992. He was also U.S. Director for International Urban Associates from 1989 to 1990. Concurrently, until 1993, Leslie was a Senior Associate with Mid-America Leadership Foundation, serving as Director of the Church and Ministry Division.
In June 1993 Leslie married Michelle R. (Santy) Prentice. In August of that year Leslie died of a heart attack.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Three days after a 14-year-old Beaumont Independent School District student was reported missing from the Ozen High School campus, her mother reports the child is now home.
Shavoner Wilson told The Examiner she found her daughter, 14-year-old daughter, Marchelle Washington, Friday, Nov. 30, with the help of a neighborhood informant. Washington had been missing since Nov. 27.
UPDATE: Marchelle Washington, 14, is reported safe at home with her family as of Friday morning, Nov. 30.
Twenty-four hours is a long time when you don't where your child is.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.

About Katy Trail State Park, MO
The Katy Trail is a 237 mile (386 km) trail stretching across most of the state of Missouri. (Use this link if you're looking for the
Dallas Katy Trail
). Over half of it follows Lewis and Clark's path up the Missouri River, where you can ride beneath towering river bluffs while eagles circle overhead. After leaving the river, the trail meanders through peaceful farmland and small-town Americana.
America's longest "rails-to-trail" project, formerly the MKT rail line, is flat and scenic. It's ideal for hiking, running, or cycling on just about any kind of bike.
Horseback riding
is also allowed on a 35 mile section of the trail, from Sedalia to Clinton. Also, the Katy Trail's Tebbetts-Portland section now allows equestrian use.
Many cross-country cyclists include the Katy Trail in their tours. It is part of
Adventure Cycling's Lewis & Clark route
, as well as the
American Discovery Trail
Runners love to use the Katy Trail for Long Slow Distance runs, because it's flat, scenic, and the crushed limestone trail surface is easy on your legs. The only drawback is that there are long distances without access to water, so runners and hikers might need to carry your their water. Or simply plan your excursion along parts of the trail where the towns offering water, groceries, or vending machines are not too far apart. For example, Defiance and Matson are only 1.5 miles apart, and Peers and Marthasville are 2 miles apart. Lots of towns are about 5 miles from the next town.

What's Going On
FALL on the Katy Trail
The Katy Trail is a prime place to enjoy Missouri's fall foliage, and
autumn colors are just weeks away. Missouri's foliage usually starts in late September and peaks around the middle of October. Some colors remain into November.

Organized Rides
One of the best ways to experience the Katy Trail is on an organized group tour. Typically, the lodging and some meals are prearranged, so you can concentrate on the trail.
There are several organized end-to-end rides each year. The biggest, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, occurs in mid-June. Several rides are scheduled each year - as rides are announced, they are added to our list of
organized rides along the trail
Another approach: there are also tour organizers who will put together a more individually customized ride for you. In general, they take care of most lodging arrangements, some meals, luggage transfer and point to point transportation, so you can focus more on the ride itself. Here is a list of
tour organizers operating on the Katy Trail
Weather Alert
Follow this link for
current Katy Trail weather conditions, and Missouri average temperatures and precipitation
Heavy rains and thunderstorms
can happen any time - be aware and be prepared!
After heavy rain, stay alert for washed-out sections of trail. We check regularly with the Department of Natural Resources to find out if any washouts have been reported; I'll let you know if they report any.
Since the trail follows along the Missouri River, it crosses over many streams and small rivers. Be alert for flash floods during and after heavy rain.
A person on the trail is a prime lightning target. Seek cover during a thunderstorm. Lightning can strike ten miles away from the storm center.

KUWAIT (Reuters) - Authorities will allow a protest march to go ahead the day before the December 1 parliamentary election in Kuwait, the Gulf Arab state's prime minister said in a move designed to ease tensions ahead of the poll.
Thousands of people have staged regular demonstrations since late October against a decree issued by Kuwait's ruler, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, which reduced the number of votes allowed per citizen to one from four.
The opposition movement, which includes youth groups and former members of parliament, has called for a boycott of the election in the U.S.-allied major oil producer over the changes.
They say the amendments are an attempt to skew the elections in favor of pro-government candidates. Protesters say they seek reform, not an Arab Spring-style revolution like those that have ousted several Arab rulers since early last year.
The emir says the voting system is flawed and that the changes are constitutional and needed for the sake of Kuwait's "security and stability".
Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Sabah said "the organizers got a license from the concerned security services, so the government had nothing against the march," state news agency KUNA reported late on Monday.
Kuwait allows the most dissent among the Gulf Arab states and its citizens often hold rallies in a designated area outside parliament.
But recent unlicensed protest marches in the streets beyond have been broken up by police using teargas and smoke bombs.
Authorities are keen to prevent the kind of unrest Kuwait experienced on October 21, when thousands of demonstrators attempted to reach government headquarters in the largest protest march and were dispersed by police. At least 29 people were injured during that march, according to a medical source.
Under the new rules, each voter chooses only one candidate instead of four, a move the parliamentary opposition says will prevent its candidates winning the majority they had in the last election.
They say the four-vote system better enabled candidates to form political allegiances during the election campaign by recommending supporters cast additional ballots for their allies. Such allegiances are important because Kuwait bans political parties, opposition politicians say.
Apart from protesting against the new voting rules, activists have rallied against wider issues such as corruption, the accountability of government ministers and elected officials as well as a lack of infrastructure development.
A long-running row between the government and parliament has stalled implementation of major parts of a 30 billion dinar ($107 billion) development plan, including large infrastructure projects.
The December 1 poll will be the fifth since mid-2006.
"The coming government will include decision makers and bold politicians to scale up the combat against corruption," Sheikh Jaber said, according to KUNA.
"The coming stage will see a quantum leap in economic development and the stage set for implementing mega projects, some of which have already been approved," he said.
The 50-member parliament has legislative powers and the right to summon ministers for questioning. But the emir has the final say in state affairs and can veto laws and dissolve the assembly.
Opposition MPs - whose demands have included an elected cabinet including the prime minister, with at least some top posts held by people other than relatives of the emir - held some 35 seats in the 50-seat parliament elected in February 2012.
The opposition bloc put pressure on government ministers, leading to the resignation of two. The parliament was dissolved by a court ruling in June.
Sheikh Jaber said the last parliament "failed to encourage the government to adopt positive steps ... contrary to the spirit of the constitution which favors cooperation between the legislative and executive authorities," KUNA reported.

In today's Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Zombie711 wants Square Enix's DS masterpiece The World Ends with You to end with itself. In other words, here's one of the game's biggest fans explaining why it should never, ever get a sequel. Aww.
I like The World Ends with You. A lot. But at the same time I never want to see a sequel.
In my mind The World Ends with You is the closest gaming has ever gotten to a perfect game, and is probably the best example of games as art that I can think of. The story is the best I have ever seen in a game, the music is amazing, the combat works great and the whole thing just oozes style. What I like most about it is how it wraps everything up, tells all its story bits, lays down all its morals and leaves you with nothing untold. And to top it off the developer's found a way to put some legitimately good humour into the game.
That is why I would hate to see a sequel. The only way to preserve a game like that would be to release an updated version (a better map would be appreciated) on the 3DS like what Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, or a cameo role in a Kingdom Hearts game (which is happening). There is no way a game could share the same universe as TWEWY and have half the impact as the original.
It's like trying to make a sequel to Pulp Fiction, or Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I'm sure it could be done but would you really want it. Would it add anything to the original?
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run.

Rich Internet applications improve the user's experience over the Net and skip the deployment and maintenance hassles of client/server apps.
The Internet has represented a huge leap forward for many organizations, allowing them to expand the reach of their applications to remote workers, customers and suppliers. Unfortunately, limitations in browsers have meant a step backward for the user experience compared with client/server applications.
But a burgeoning group of users is solving this dilemma with new tools designed to preserve the rich content and interactive features of the desktop in "rich Internet" applications that can be accessed via a thin client. Rich Internet applications are designed to provide enhancements to usability without the deployment and maintenance headaches of client/server applications.
The new tools essentially eliminate the need to refresh a Web page every time a user enters or receives new data. They allow businesses to more easily move existing client/server applications to the Web or build new Web applications. Companies are using the tools for e-commerce and call center applications that require complex interactions with users. They also use them for applications that need to run on various devices.
Traditional HTML-based applications are built as static, page-based applications that require an HTTP request to a server every time data needs to be refreshed. However, applications on the Web often require heavy interaction with users. For example, a customer service application could require a call center representative to enter information from a customer while also accessing a technician's service schedule. These types of applications can't work efficiently with the latency that comes with constant page refreshes.
Rich Internet applications include a rendering engine in the client that can cache data and communicate back and forth with the server while still displaying the Web page for the user. The engine can process user requests to provide a more responsive user interface and fewer round trips to the server than HTML-based applications do. While HTML is a simple straightforward language for building static applications, adding any type of interaction within the user interface often requires a lot of scripting from developers. Rich Internet application developer tools are designed to plug into popular integrated development environments (IDE) while providing the windows and tabs needed to add interactive features without a lot of coding.

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- Thousands of people flocked to the U.S. capital Wednesday to encourage Congress to produce legislation overhauling the immigration system.
The throngs of people called for measures that would allow the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally to attain legal status.
The so-called Gang of Eight senators negotiating language that could pass congressional muster had been expected to reach a deal by the end of the week, ABC News reported, but could be pushed back while gun control legislation takes center stage.
The Citizenship for 11 Million rally drew people such as Mexican immigrant Giselle Stern Hernandez, who held a sign stating she is "a Deported Man's Wife."
"When [my husband's] deportation happened in 2001, people were protesting, but not in the national dialogue the way it is now, so it is deeply emotional for me," Hernandez told ABC. "I'm not putting any hopes on seeing the reform that I would like, but at least these people are engaged in the dialogue.
"We can't just stay in our corners."
The network said a frequent slogan heard and seen at the rally was "The time is now."
"It is time, actually it is past time, for immigration reform for the over 11 million people in this country coming out of the shadows," Emira Woods, co-director of Foreign Policy In Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies and originally from Liberia, told ABC.
"We, all of us, have found family members, community members, church members facing deportation in inhumane conditions and we're here to say, enough is enough."
Washington may have been the focal point of the immigration movement Wednesday, but rallies also were held in many U.S. cities this week, including Staten Island, N.Y.; New Haven, Conn., Charlottesville, Va.; and Boston, ABC said.

3 Kid-Friendly Advent Calendar Projects (Plus One More)
This year, my family is trying as much as possible to have a handmade Christmas, from decorations to treats to presents. Our advent calendar is the next project on our list, and our research dug up three fun, simple ideas from Kids Craft Weekly, and one slightly more labor-intensive (but totally worth it) project from Holly at Stitch/Craft.
First up, how adorable is the fabric chain-link calendar (pictured at the top of this post) that Holly designed and made? Each link unbuttons to reveal a slip of paper naming a holiday activity for your family to do that day, from drinking cocoa to going ice skating. (For more activities, Jordan at Oh Happy Day recently posted a great list of ideas.)
If you're looking for a project where the kids can be more involved, Kids Craft Weekly rounded up three cute ideas involving paper chains (similar to the fabric chain), mini envelopes, and origami cups. And for still more calendar activities, they list a dozen or so sweet ideas, including "Paint everybody's toenails in Christmas colours" and "Purchase a present to give to charity." The projects and activities are all in this post.

Kim Kardashian, who might or might not be the poster girl for being famous without a talent, graces another magazine cover yet again.
So what is the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star dishing about this time? Her body of course! Kim once again lies to the world goes on record to deny ever having had any plastic surgery, though you are free to click here to see before and after photos to make your own judgment.
"Rumors don't bother me anymore" claims Kim, 30, in the new issue of Self magazine. "I've read that I've had my lips done. I've always had big lips," she explains. "Or they'll show one picture of me today and one tomorrow, and say I've had my nose done in between. When? Didn't you just see me yesterday? And how many times have I 'had my butt done'? People's logic is so weird. I don't know why they bother!"
Kim also reveals the craziest dating rumor she has heard about herself. "One time they said I was dating Terrence Howard and I was on his lap at his party," she says of the Oscar winning actor, 42. "I don't even know what they were talking about. They said I went home with him, too!"
And if you thought you would be getting a break from the Kardashian clan soon, you thought wrong. The E! network has now announced the latest Kardashian spinoff, a reality show for Khloe Kardashian & hubby Lamar Odom, is set to debut April 10.
To promote the show, brilliantly titled Khloe & Lamar, the network also released the first promo pic above (you can click on it to make it bigger). "I'm thrilled with how it came out," said Khloe, 26, on her blog Monday. "Too cute. I love my hubby!" Khloe added, "I can't believe the premiere is less than a month away — so excited and so nervous! I'm dying with anticipation."
According to UsWeekly, the show will have the same vibe as Bravo's Bethenny Ever After.

AMERICUS, Ga. – With the Georgia Southwestern women's basketball team already off to a Division II era best 4-0 start, the Lady 'Canes were looking to improve on their history. Their 94-48 victory over the Lady Crusaders of Tennessee Temple on Tuesday night continued their historical start.
For the second time in three games, junior Jessica Jones led the Hurricanes offense with a stat sheet-stuffing evening of 21 points, nine rebounds and five assists. She and senior Jessica Bivins (15 points) led the Blue & Gold who shot 40.7% from the field and converted 21 of their 30 foul shots. GSW dominated Tennessee Temple with 25 offensive rebounds, forced 30 TTU turnovers and out-rebounded by 23 rebounds total.
The Lady Crusaders would hang with the Lady 'Canes for the game's initial two minutes before GSW put together a 20-8 run over the next ten minutes to put the game out of reach. The run was aided by Georgia Southwestern's 14-16 free throw shooting in the first half. At halftime, the Hurricanes led comfortably 48-24.
The game was never in reach in the second half as the Lady 'Canes cruised through the final 20 minutes. By night's end GSW held TTU to 30% shooting from the field while they recorded twelve assists on 16 made baskets.
In scoring TTU was led by Shayla Wilson and Jessica Salera who each scored twelve points. Brianna Reeves would lead the Lady Crusaders in rebounding with eight.
It was a balanced attack for the Blue & Gold, which featured five double-digit scorers. In addition to Jones (21 points) and Bivins (15 points), Tania Walters (13 points), Briana Walker (11 points) and Terra Branch (10 points) all contributed to the offensive assault for GSW. While Walker led the bench in scoring, senior forward Samantha Smith grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds in her 13 minutes of play coming off the bench.
Coach Britsky and company will look to continue to add to their record-breaking opening season run over the holiday break at the Peach Belt – SIAC Challenge on the campus of Columbus State University. Their tournament run will begin with a game against Albany State on Saturday, November 26th at 3:00 pm.

Knog's twenty- function multi tool crams a phenomenal amount of useful stuff into a very confined space and is just the thing for best bikes loving to travel light. Good quality steel won't chew delicate fasteners but it wouldn't be my first resort for group rides and for all their charms offer limited leverage when tackling stubborn fasteners…assuming the crank bolt adaptor hasn't vanished down the sofa.
Despite measuring a mere (47x47x20mm) it tips the scales at a jersey pocket stretching 192g and for these reasons belongs in the seat pack. Finished in a rich anodised blue, the hinged design opens in a way that reminded me of the puzzle in the Hell-raiser films, revealing the usual suspects (2-8mm Allen keys, torx wrench, flat and Phillips screwdrivers) which sit in their own channelled bed of medical grade silicone-simply pressing the logo on the reverse prises them out ready for action. The magnetised base consists of a chain splitter; 15mm pedal/ track nut wrench coupled with smaller 8,10,13mm sizes for mudguard eyebolts, rack, cable anchor bolts and other fiddly fasteners. There's even a bottle opener for the post ride tipple.
These are made from forged chrome vanadium for durability and corrosion resistance and seem very hardy. Accurately machined, they've failed to slip or round off fixings even under provocation and aside from being every bit the executive toy, the chain tool and spoke keys could make the difference between riding and the long walk home. Access to awkward areas such as around the front mech and bottle cage mounts is easier than the pocket workshop variety but pieces measuring two and a half centimetres long make for very slow progress- especially crank bolts so not the ideal race companion either and the extensions pieces are too readily lost by the roads or trailside. I'd score this particular battle of form versus function a draw, but there is no doubt that usability suffers to some degree in the interests of aesthetics.
Chic, charming emergency tool for those favouring minimalism over leverage

Make and model: Knog 20 function multi tool
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Knog's twenty function multi tool is for those riders who appreciate nice looking quirky gizmos. As an emergency tool for those who like to travel light it fits the bill nicely but it's small size limits efficiency.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Anodized, hardened Aluminium top plate, chrome vandium tools (including 2-8mm allen wrenches, 8,10,13, 15,mm wrenches, chain tool, flat, phillips and torx drivers, bottle opener,spoke keys and magnetised base.
Can be fiddly but should spare you the long walk home.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Despite bijous dimensions, the Knog is quite nice to use and more accessible than some of the really macho multi-tools-e.g roadside front mech tweaking. Good quality materials mean they shouldn'r round off, or damage fastners at the crucial point, although you'd be there until Christmas trying to tighten a loose 8mm crank bolt. However, all of this misses the point. For group rides and/or more everyday fettling, the larger type tools are more practical but those loving pretty design and minimalism won't be disappointed.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Lovely design, detailing and solid construction.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Nothing when when judged as a bit of designery kit - pure function is not what these are about. Oh and it is expensive

CANNES, France (AP) — Associated Press journalists open their notebooks at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival:
Within hours of his last performance of "Orphans" on Broadway, Alec Baldwin was on a plane to Cannes.
He arrived, exhausted, with his pregnant wife, Hilaria Thomas, with fresh wounds from a challenging stint on the stage. Baldwin flew to the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of the documentary he made with James Toback, "Seduced and Abandoned," about Cannes' movie marketplace and the process of trying to finance a film.
The revival of Lyle Kessler's play began with Shia LaBeouf leaving the production in a public dispute. Although it earned two Tony nominations, sales were lukewarm and the play closed Sunday, more than a month before its run was to conclude. Baldwin also chafed at some of the negative reviews.
"We did not have the result that we wanted," he told The Associated Press. "In some camps we did. But The Times and things like that were rather unkind about the play and me. You realize: It's just about having the experience. If you go and do it and you're angling for some result — nominations and things like that — then you're going to be disappointed."
"It's not like the TV show," he said, referring to the recently concluded NBC comedy series "30 Rock." ''I did the TV show and myself and everyone on the TV show, we won every prize they had three or four times in a row. So doing the play was a bit sobering."
Still Baldwin said being in the play was "a great, great privilege."

Reeves, who showed clips from his upcoming film "Man of Tai Chi" to a select crowd at Cannes, said it took him a while to get into the director's mindset.
"The first day of that was not too much fun," he laughed during an interview.
"As an actor you are concerned with your role, you are concerned with your story," he said. "The director's side is much more other, it is looking out. "
Reeves describes the movie in which he also stars as "a contemporary Kung Fu film." The film is in Cantonese and English.
Reeves said he didn't want to try his hand at directing until he had the right story. He found it while he was working on "The Matrix" franchise and was working closely with Chen Hu, a martial arts specialist.
"He is who the story is based around. He has a traditional past, he was a young person, Tai Chi champion, National Chinese champion," Reeves said. "On the other hand, he is also a stunt man who has worked in Beijing and Hong Kong and Hollywood. He has gone out into the world."
Reeves grew up attracted to martial arts movies.
"For me, it was attractive in the sense of the physical-ness of it, maybe the independence, maybe the community," he said. "It is the right and wrong, or the struggle that the characters often face, like 'They're going to shut down the temple' or 'They have killed your brother' or 'You're being attacked' and you have to defend or explore. And the exoticness of it, and they look cool."
"Man of Tai Chi" is set for release in China this summer, with release dates in other countries pending.

After taking time off to become a mother, India's Aishwarya Rai says she's ready to sink her teeth back in to her movie career — as long it's the right role.
Rai, who gave birth to a daughter in 2011, said her time away from the film world has "flown by."
The former Miss World says her career choices from here on in will have to fit in with raising her family.
"Right now I am talking to you while she is taking a nap," she noted during an interview at The Martinez Hotel in Cannes on Monday. "You just naturally discover how to do it because even, like everything else in my life you are just multi-tasking, you just figure out a way to schedule your life."
This is Rai's 12th visit to the Cannes Film Festival. Besides being a L'Oreal brand ambassador, she was asked to be guest of honor at a special event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Indian cinema.
"It's very gracious of the festival to acknowledge it, to have an evening dedicated to celebrating it," she said.

The late-night Cannes party for James Franco's movie, "As I Lay Dying," held in the compact luxury men's clothing store Smalto, already promised to be a tight-knit affair. But the event became even more intimate with guests rubbing elbows — and much more — as the soiree went well above its capacity limit on Monday night.
Franco didn't seem to mind the cramped quarters. Dressed in a tuxedo, he held court on a black leather couch, huddled with good friend Ahna O'Reilly and others, laughing at one point as they looked at their phones.
The event was put on by the charity Art of Elysium, which provides entertainment for sick children in hospitals.

Haaretz reports: "IDF finds tunnel used for smuggling terrorists from Gaza to Israel." The Jerusalem Post adds "that information about the tunnel was handed over to the Palestinian Authority, but that it 'did nothing about it.'" And this:
The US, at a separate meeting, said the security problems were caused by technical glitches at the Rafah passage between Gaza and Egypt, and not by Palestinian failures.
Folks, that's not a glitch, it's a feature. The Post has a separate story on what seem to be a few other features of the agreements — concessions to the PA are irreversible, and concessions from the PA are unenforceable: "Mofaz demands that PA abide by Rafah deal."
In a backgrounder on the Rafah crossing agreements, the Post takes a stab at explaining "Why Rice pushed so hard." That's easy to explain. What's a little harder to explain is the Lucy and the football quality of these deals.
The Haaretz story's concluding paragraphs add the other catches of the day:
In the West Bank, a Palestinian man carrying two improvised explosive devices and a toy gun was caught south of Jerusalem on Saturday morning, Israel Radio reported. Sappers safely detonated the bombs.
The 20-year-old man from Bethlehem told police investigators that he was planning to carry out a terror attack in Jerusalem. On Friday a 15-year-old Palestinian was caught carrying improvized bombs near the Hawara checkpoint close to Nablus. He said he was planning to transfer the bombs, concealed in aluminium cans, to terrorists on the other side of the security fence.
That's the kind of undiplomatic candor that explains even more than the Post's analysis of the impetus for the crossing agreements.

Ray Seemann seemingly powered to victory on Saturday night to capture the finale for the 2013 United Rebel Sprint Series Speedweek.
But after Seemann failed post race inspections it was Dodge City's Brian Herbert declared the winner of the 3rd Annual URSS Belleville NatIonals.
It was Herbert's second win of the 2013 campaign and while that may not seem like a large total, it is quite a feat considering that only two other drivers have visited victory lane multiple times this season. Herbert's win also breaks a streak of five consecutive wins for Plains driver Luke Cranston.
Woodward, Okla. driver Jordan Weaver would lead the field to the green for the twenty lap show down on the hammer down half mile. Weaver would charge out of the gate and move to the lead, a lead that would be short lived as Fowler's Richie Dewell would take the point on the second circuit.
The top five would be restless for the first half of the twenty lapper and would see the heavy hitters of the United Rebel Sprint Series carve up the speedway and battle for position. Seemann, who gridded the field in the seventh slot, would charge into the top five on the first lap bringing Herbert along for the ride.
Herbert and Seemann's push to the front would be checked momentarily by Keefe Hemel. A battle would ensue, that would see the past two Rebel Champions move around Hemel, bumping the Cimarron, Kansas driver off the podium.
The twelfth round would see Seemann blast by Dewell for the lead, but Dewell not wanting to yield the top slot would be persistent, dogging the "Rainman" in second. Herbert would continue to dig and his car would get stronger as more laps would be scored. Herbert, finding another groove, would blow by Dewell and was poised to strike.
Flying off turn four, with the checkered flag flying and the Highbanks crowd on their feet, Herbert would use the short side of the half mile to close to a car length but that would be all.
Seemann would grab his apparent second win of the year and his second in Belleville. The first coming in 2010, the inaugural run for the Rebels at the speedway. Herbert would settle for second and Luke Cranston would climb to third rounding out the podium.
Due to discrepancies in post race inspection, URSS Officials elected to have Seemann bring his car to a cleaner and more controlled environment, where the car was thoroughly checked and declared not within URSS rules, giving the win to Brian Herbert and moving everyone else up one spot.
The Keizer Aluminum Wheels Hard charger award went to Luke Cranston who started in 9th advancing seven positions.
Cranston earns the URSS speed week crown with a runner up finish in Dodge City, a seventh, a fifth, and a win during three nights at the 5 State Fair and a second place finish at the high banks.
A Feature (20 Laps): 1.Brian Herbert, 2. Luke Cranston, 3. Richie Dewell, 4. Jake Bubak, 5. Wyatt Burks, 6. Jordan Weaver, 7. Keefe Hemel, 8. Jeff Radcliffe, 9. Steven Richardson, 10. Jon Webster, 11. Howard VanDyke, 12. DNF Kris Miller, 13. DNF Darren Bowman. DQ Ray Seemann

I agree she doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. I mean she knew Hei killed her father and she still didn't bring a weapon or something with her to try to kill him to get revenge or something . Maybe she was just unprepared at that time but either way she's a 13 year old girl and you can tell she's scared of people dying thus the many questions she asked Hei at that time.
And about the meteor fragment origins. Well it doesn't really matter from which star it came I think. During that episode in the first season a lot of contractors died so we'll probaly never find out.
Anyways we can assume they were in Vladivostok back then as well. So it's 1+ from the japanese time (Seriously though why is it 1+ and China is 1- from Japan when Vladivostock is really close to the border with China and Japan is further East )
Back ot topic Shion seems to be able to use telepathy but that probably doesn't put much strain on him since well last time he used his ability he couldn't walk for two years. You might say it's a really strong ability or he just has no luck with his remuneration (it's not that for sure )
About "When Contractors become Regressors, their star's luminosity fades from observable magnitudes (it disappears from the sky). The same happens when a Contractor's ability is forcefully suppressed (Mai), sometimes becoming Moratoriums."
Either way Hei has lost his powers for now. I think no one though he lost them permanently. It's just temporary. This might be a reason for them to go back to Japan and meet Misaki. (since the gate is there)
Spoiler for DtB season 1:
The interesting thing though is that part of his power seemed to have transfered to that medalion (which I originally thought was part of the meteor fragment but since Hei didn't pay any attention to it I decided it wasn't).
Spoiler for DtB season 1:
I'd like to see Amber as well but I doubt we will. It can hapen though - you never know.

The more I watch this episode the more I like it, strangely enough. I can't wait to see more of that blonde woman that was in Egypt. Assuming she's a contractor, I'm wondering what her abilities are.

Even if its only a metaphysical appearance.
Also, if Suoh becomes a contractor like Hei, I look for it to be at the end. What I really want to see is for her to become like Hei when he was with his sister as a contractor.
Is there anyone else under the school of thought that Hei may die and Suoh becomes the next Black Reaper?
Just an idea im throwing out there.

Anyone else who thinkes that Hei is planning something with accepting to take work from the CIA? I'm sure he'll betray the CIA at some point like he did with the syndicate.

Or its nothing and he's just using this as a temporary job; maybe a case of mutual benefit. Kinda worried if its that, looking at his coat.

Honestly I'm assuming some kind of blackmail. Hei at the end of S1 was basically on the run from everyone with Yin. He knew that the Syndicate had people placed in every organization. Joining up with one now makes the reasoning very suspect.

I'm pretty sure Suou will go down the same road as Hei did. At least all those hints in the op and the whole theme of DtB s2 suggest that.
One of the main things in DtB s2 leaving aside the awesome story, characters and the whole concept is the girl which life is destryoed and she lossese everything. After that she has a choice and we're following on that - in which direction will she chose to go. And from the OP you could clearly see that especially with all those lonely landscapes and the contrast between her past and the "future". (Or they're just teasing us with that scenes -which I'm sure is not the case)
CIA is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) intelligence agencies in the world so they're bound to have info on things no one else knows. And it's probably not that easy to get that as well. Whatever the reason I think Hei is working with the CIA to get his hands ot that "info" which is probably related too what happened to Yin or the Sindicate. Blackmail is still an option but I'm leaning more towards the "information in exchange for getting the meteor fragment" side.

I want Amber back as well.... (or just show that she still exist somewhere..) D:
Anyway, for the moment i would enjoy more Hei x Suou teasing. Just teasing.. yeah... just teasing
I suspect Hei only work with CIA (not "work for") due to common interests. Because if he really work for them, it's ridiculous that the top organization of the world can't buy him a new coat and new mask...

I'm thinking one of the things the CIA could offer Hei is some amount of protection. Hei didn't prevent the Syndicate from trying to kill off the contractors ever again, he only prevented that one attempt. There's nothing that says they can't try the same exact thing the next go around. If I was the Syndicate I'd put a worldwide hit on on him to make sure he can't do the same thing again. I'm sure the Syndicate has people in the CIA, but it's probably a loose confederation, not a tight knit group. Why kill off such a good operative now, when there's ample time before the next conjunction?

Damn... a good episode, really. Though, I'm now wondering two things: A) What exactly happened to Yin? I suspect she probably vanished rather than died B) Is he hopefully going to clean up his appearance? He looks like a drunken hobo...
and of course, whatever at the end with that field and Suou's pendant... well, I'm waiting for EP 3 to DL to find out the answers to these questions

Cotton is an important rotation crop for Tommy McPherson and his father, Tommy Sr., who farm in the heavy soils of south central Oklahoma near Maysville and Pauls Valley.
A neighbor, Willard Fox, also has cotton in his crop rotation.
Cotton was an important crop in the rich bottomland farms, until boll weevil problems nearly wiped out cotton production. The Boll Weevil Eradication Program reversed that trend in the late 1990s.
"My dad and I have grown cotton around here for the last 30 years," McPherson said. "We are among the last diehard cotton farmers in the area and had cotton even during the bad boll weevil problem years."
During the severe drought of 2006, McPherson saved a portion of his dryland cotton. "We planted 425 acres dryland and 350 irrigated acres," he said. "While we only saved 100 dryland acres, it yielded nearly a bale to the acre. Some irrigated fields yielded two bales per acre."
Today's modern cotton varieties yield well if farmers get even a little rain, McPherson said. Some varieties also use less irrigation water than crops such as soybeans and corn, he said.
They use Roundup Ready and some stacked-gene varieties.
"The Roundup Ready cotton helps us fight weed problems, " McPherson said. "Our growing season is longer, so weed pressures are higher around here. Cotton also works well for us in rotation with other crops to interrupt weed and disease problems caused by continuous cropping."
Fox also suffered from the drought, but received rain on a 100-acre field. The extra rain saved the crop, giving him a yield of 423 pounds per acre.
These dryland cotton yields, occurring during a record drought, show how modern cotton varieties make good yields with a minimum of moisture, Fox said.
55-mile drive
Both farmers gin at the Bi-State Cotton Producers Cooperative gin at Minco, nearly 55 miles from the area where they farm. But modern cotton module technology simplifies the harvesting problems. They still prefer a modern cotton gin closer to home, McPherson said.
"Except for a few acres in Cleveland County, there isn't much cotton grown east of I-35," McPherson said. "There aren't any modern cotton gins around here. The boll weevil saw to that. When (the boll weevil made it) unprofitable to grow cotton, nearly all of the cotton gins operating back then had to close."
Farming is an important part of the economy around Maysville and Pauls Valley, McPherson said.
"Since this is a highly productive farming area with a lot of land suitable for growing cotton more farmers need to know about the advantages of growing cotton with their other crops."
"If we can get more farmers in this area growing cotton again," he said, "maybe we will be able to build a gin in this area."

PSNH crews head to Maine to help restore powerBy Dave Solomon
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 24. 2013 11:50AM
PORTSMOUTH -- Line crews from Public Service of New Hampshire hit the road on Christmas Eve to help crews in Maine restore power to several communities hard hit by ice storms that left thousands facing the prospect of a cold, dark holiday.
Tens of thousands lost power as ice built up on roadways, trees and power lines in central and eastern Maine on Sunday and Monday. Central Maine Power and Bangor Hydro Electric reported close to 100,000 customers without power at the height of the storm. By Tuesday morning, the number was down to 79,000.
A utility spokesman told the Portland Press Herald that some customers will be without power on Christmas, as crews continue a "multi-day restoration effort."
The PSNH parent company, Northeast Utilities, is dispatching several dozen line trucks from its network, which also includes NSTAR and Western Massachusetts Electric. Nine PSNH crews were preparing to leave for Maine on Tuesday morning from the company's work center at 1700 Lafayette Road, according to PSNH spokesperson Martin Murray.
Although New Hampshire and Southern Maine escaped the brunt of the storm, "Maine still is in a world of hurt," he said.
Each crew consists of two linemen and support personnel, which adds up to a lot of PSNH workers who are likely to spend their holiday helping neighbors to the north.
PSNH had lined up extra crews in anticipation of more outages in New Hampshire as the storm bore down on the region over the weekend.
"We were well-prepared to respond," said Murray. "The forecast seemed to indicate that conditions were ripe for significant icing in New Hampshire, but we basically escaped unscathed."
PSNH did not experience any problems in New Hampshire until Monday, when a handful of scattered outages were reported. Normal operating conditions statewide were reported by Monday night, Murray said.

General Comments: Futures were lower as traders got ready for the weekly export sales report. Rains are moving through the Delta and Southeast this week to slow planting progress, and it is still cold and dry in the north Texas region. The showers should move out of the Southeast today. The weather after this week is expected to turn somewhat warmer and drier. Some traders think that U.S. planted area will increase from the estimates released at the end of March due to more favorable cotton futures prices and sinking corn and soybean futures prices. Weather will be watched as more wet weather in the Delta and Southeast could create less interest in corn and more in cotton to avoid having corn pollinate in the hottest time of the year. Producers have been active planting depending on the región involved.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see rains over the weekend. Temperatures will average below normal this week and near to above normal this weekend. Texas will get mostly dry weather, but a few showers are possible on Friday. Temperatures will trend to near normal by Friday and above normal over the weekend. The USDA spot price is now 78.00 ct/lb. ICE said that certified cotton stocks are now 0.498 million bales, from 0.487 million yesterday. ICE said that delivery notices were 29 contracts today and now total 151 contracts for the month.
Chart Trends:Trends in cotton are down with objectives of 82.80 and 80.40 July. Support is at 82.20, 81.70, and 81.00 July, with resistance of 85.10, 85.20, and 85.50 July.
General Comments: Futures closed higher. Some speculators are rolling positions or liquidating positions as First Notice Day is coming with the start of May as well. The growing conditions are getting better in many parts of Florida, and are expected to improve over time. Some good rains were seen in the state over the weekend, but drought conditions persist overall. Conditions should turn dry again through this weekend. Greening disease and what it might mean to production prospects continues to be a primary support item. Irrigation is widespread, even with recent rains. Temperatures are warm in the state. The Valencia harvest is continuing. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and dry weather.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed. Support is at 141.00, 140.00, and 135.00 May, with resistance at 146.50, 150.50, and 152.00 May.
General Comments: Futures were a little higher in New York and Sao Paulo, but London was a little lower on some follow through selling. Prices in general have been weak as traders anticípate another big crop out of Brazil starting in summer, and bears note that improved rains should help increase Vietnamese production potential this year. Ideas are that supplies are good for now and can only increase down the road. Rains continue in Vietnam and crop conditions have improved. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, but it has been dry for the past week. Production ideas remain big there. Central America crops are mostly harvested and is too dry for new crop flowering. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are lower today and are about 2.739 million bags. ICE delivery notices are 15 contracts today and now total 137 contracts for the month. The ICO composite price is now 128.85 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal.

David of Ajax, Ontario, Canada has completed a BIG project: the 17 x 6 foot 32,000-piece puzzle from Ravensburger.
With the help of his wife, Kim, and 6-year-old daughter, Nicole, David was able to complete the massive puzzle in approximately 360 hours over the time span of over a year. He began his project in March of 2012 and finished it just two months ago in July. After some difficulty mounting the puzzle—difficulties which included having to rearrange his basement, fortify the edges of the different sections of the puzzle, visit multiple hardware stores and having trouble getting the puzzle to securely stay in place—David was done.
Now, relaxing after such a mighty task, David took some time to answer a few of our questions.
In our interview, we discussed the challenges of working on and displaying Double Retrospect, as well as get to know David a little bit. A big thanks to David, who was so friendly and amiable in our interview. It was a pleasure to ask him about his puzzle habits!
Q: How long did it take you to complete Double Retrospect?
Puzzle Warehouse Note: We do not carry the full 18,000 piece Tropical Impressions puzzle, but we do carry a smaller version.

I had some chicken breasts in the fridge, so I looked for inspiration on Pinterest! If you haven't come aboard on the Pinterest craze, be warned that it's an addicting website. I have discovered all kinds of new blogs, and it's fun to see what my other blogger friends are pinning. Thanks to my blogger friend Cathy, at Wives With Knives, she had pinned a recipe for Coconut Chicken (from Pennies on a Platter) that looked easy and appetizing.
homemade apricot-pineapple jam. The recipe listed apricot jam, but my absolute favorite jam is apricot-pineapple. I must make more, this summer. Anyway, I added two tablespoons of Dijon mustard, to 1/4 cup of jam. I felt that was just a little too much Dijon for my liking as it overpowered the delicious flavor of the jam. I simply added another 1/4 cup of jam, and all was good. To be honest, I think just pure jam would have been just fine-- more on that later. I set it in the fridge to chill.
