There's no question Calgary has missed Robyn Regehr through the first two contests of this seris. And Cory Sarich. And, arguably, the speed of Matthew Lombardi.
But one guy who's not being talked about very much is Mark Giordano. Felled by a wonky shoulder, the club sure could use his blend of speed, passing and tenacity against the Hawks. Chicago's uptempo forecheck and team quickness has been forcing the Flames remaing rear-guards to make sub-optimal decisions and passes, especially in and around the neutral zone. A lot of rushes and break-outs have been stuffed by bouncing pucks and long, waist-high coss-ice lobs that are easily picked off.
These are the areas in which Gio excels. For my money, no Flame defender was better at making a pin-point break-out pass than Giordano this year. He was also good at avoiding pressure in the neutral ice, gaining the offensive zone and keeping pucks in at the blueline as well. And his stats reflect it.
While Gio's counting numbers are unspectacular, it's the underlying figures that really tell the story. He had the best ESP/60 rate of any defensemen on the Flames (1.03), even though he was kinda jobbed by the bounces this year (PDO 98.9). His cumulative corsi number was 3rd best on the team (+272), despite only playing in 57 games. Course, some of that had to do with the way he was played – Keenan sheltered Giordano and gave him a lot of O-zone draws, but clearly none of the guys played in roughly similar circumstances (Vandermeer, Pardy, Sarich) put up similar outshooting results.
In addition, Giordano's zone shift speaks to his ability to get the puck moving in the right direction. If you aren't familiar, "zone shift" refers to how often the play ends in the offensive/defensive zone with a given player on the ice. Obviously, ending the shift in the offensive zone is preferable.
Flames leaders by this metric this season were Moss (+79), Langkow (+80), Glencross (+83), Iginla (+85), Phaneuf (+93) and…Mark Giordano (+118 !!). Meaning, the play ended in the offensive zone 118 more times than the defensive zone with Gio on the ice this year. The entire club was stellar in terms of zone shift this season (no one was a minus) and Giordano benefited from soft minutes and favorable circumstances, but it's pretty clear he was a contributing factor in driving the puck forward (rather than riding coat tails).
I'm not saying the current Flames+Giordano could have swept the Hawks or anything that extreme. One player is rarely that much of a difference maker. But he's certainly a missing puzzle piece, especially in a hotly contested series in which the first two games have been decided by a single goal.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Eight Yemeni soldiers including a senior officer were killed in an ambush by militants while visiting a main oil pipeline that had been destroyed in an earlier attack, the defense ministry said.
In a statement, the ministry called the Saturday attack in Marib province a "terrorist ambush," confirming that the chief-of-staff for Yemen's central military region was killed.
Security officials said earlier that they believed the militants in the attack were from al-Qaida. The army began an offensive last week in the restive, oil-rich province east of the capital to target militants who had repeatedly attacked the pipeline and power lines in recent weeks. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
The militants stole six military vehicles in the ambush.
The U.S. considers the local al-Qaida branch the world's most active. The U.S. has helped Yemen intensify its campaign against militants.

Britney Spears' father feared the singer would die during her infamous 2007 meltdown, a court has heard.
Jamie Spears' lawyer Leon Gladstone made the revelation on Friday on the second day of the defamation trial between the Toxic hitmaker's former sidekick Sam Lutfi and the star's mom, Lynne Spears.
Gladstone said, "It's a story of a man who actually wanted nothing more for his daughter than to live and be well. It's a story of a father who has had to step up and take action that he never thought he would have to take… actions that didn't perhaps endear his daughter to him.
"Jamie was living in constant fear that he was going to look at the TV one day and see Britney was dead."
Gladstone claimed that Jamie attempted to get Britney into rehab after she plummeted into a downward spiral following her 2006 split from husband Kevin Federline.
Jamie also convinced Federline to obtain sole legal custody of his two young children with Spears, who was hospitalized on an involuntary psychiatric hold in early 2008.
The lawyer told the court, "(Jamie) had to take her kids away. He had to get her into a conservatorship. He is scared to death, and he's thinking to himself, 'My daughter has lost everything. Here she is, in a psychiatric ward, out of her head.'"
Gladstone went on to reveal that Jamie – who was made conservator of Spears' estate after the 2008 incident – and his ex-wife Lynne began to notice a change in their daughter's behavior when she split from Justin Timberlake in 2002, insisting the relationship "ended painfully".
Lutfi, who was fired from the pop star's entourage in 2008, filed suit against Lynne Spears over allegations she made in her memoir, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World. In the book, she claimed Lutfi secretly drugged her daughter and refused to let her speak freely to family and friends.
The trial continues.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A taped conversation between two convicted drug lords serving time in a prison in southern Brazil suggested the pair might be behind a spate of attacks on one of Rio de Janeiro's most respected nongovernmental organizations, a television report has said.
Globo television network aired Sunday a transcript of the taped conversation between the drug bosses, known as Fernandinho Beira-Mar and Marcinho VP speaking via an internal phone system in the Catanduvas maximum security prison in the Parana state. In it Beira-Mar uses a well-known slang code to suggest an attack should be launched on the head of the Rio NGO AfroReggae, Jose Junior.
Just over two weeks after the May conversation, AfroReggae's offices in the pacified "favela" slum of Alemao came under the first in a series of attacks, which saw the building first partially torched and then sprayed with bullets. The offices in Alemao and an AfroReggae office in another Rio favela were attacked a total of four times in recent weeks.
The tapes suggested the attacks might have been in retaliation for Junior's accusations against popular evangelical pastor Marcos Pereira, who has been jailed since May on sexual abuse charges.
According to the transcript, Beira-Mar said, "It was Juninho who was behind all this," using Junior's nickname. "We have to send a message to him there."
The word "message" is slang for a reprisal attack, the report cited police as saying.
Founded 20 years ago, AfroReggae uses art and music to work with young people who have been involved with gangs.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin distanced himself further than ever before from his longtime ally in Syria on Thursday, saying he understands Syria needs change and that he is not protecting its president.
Putin, however, warned that efforts to unseat Bashar Assad could plunge Syria even deeper into violence. He insisted that Russia has not changed its stance and believes that only a negotiated settlement can end the civil war.
Putin's assessment came a week after Russia's top envoy for Syria was quoted as saying Assad's forces were losing control of the country. Although the Foreign Ministry backpedaled on that statement, analysts have suggested for months that the Kremlin is resigned to Assad's fall.
Russia has blocked international attempts to step up pressure on the Assad regime, leading to accusations that it is supporting Assad.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has long stated that Russia is not propping up Assad, as did Putin in strong words on Thursday.
"We are not preoccupied that much with the fate of the Assad regime; we realize what's going on there and that the family has been in power for 40 years," Putin said during his annual hours-long news conference. "Undoubtedly, there is a call for changes."
"We are worried about another thing: what happens next," he said. "We don't want to see the opposition come to power and start fighting the government that becomes the opposition, so that it goes on forever."
Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of the Russia in Global Affairs journal, said Moscow's stance has been consistent and Putin's statements do not signal a change.
"Russia has always said it did not support Assad personally, that it wanted a political dialogue" between Assad's government and the opposition, Lukyanov said.
Putin said Russia's position "is not to keep Assad and his regime in power at any cost, but to allow the people to come to an agreement on how they will live further and how they will ensure their safety and their participation in governing the country and then start changing the current order based on those agreements."
Only a negotiated settlement, he said, would "prevent a breakup of the country and an endless civil war."
"Agreements based on a military victory cannot be effective," Putin said.
Mansur Mirovalev contributed reporting.

Overall the first episode was pretty good, not really a big fan of the OP and ED.
Hasebe are antics are hilarious, so far my favorite character of the show! Yamagami-san, I hope you can the person responsible for your...first name situation. Although, I think your parents deserve most of the blame for that.

Hasebe has easily become my most favorite character for now. It's always nice to see a slacker who's actually capable and talented. Really, the way he easily handled all the troubled citizens whom his fellow workers couldn't pull off was simply amazing.
Kinda pity Yamagami for constantly being the butt of joke the entire eps (but then, nobody wouldn't laugh upon hearing her WTF full name)

A few good laughs this episode. Working! was a long time ago, but I remember the first season being a lot of... work to get through, while the second season felt much more enjoyable. A refreshing setting (compared to highschool) could be enough to keep me watching at least once a week.
I did feel a serious undercurrent running through all the jokes. I live in Finland, though, with a very bloated public sector and have heard some very unsavory things about it from various people. Hasebe, the civil servant in the third generation, seemed to have the right idea when he said their number one job was "getting scolded". So why not relax while you're at it.
Could be a coincidence, of course, and the girl is just a relative (perhaps?) who has a fiery relationship with Ichimiya. She did have an awfully "bossy" attitude throughout the OP, though.

Yeah, I had a feeling that would be the case.
Anyway, she seems exactly like the "bossy young girl" character that I dislike. Man, even some generic tsundere characters are better.
I checked MAL, and she is voiced by Chinatsu from Yuru Yuri. Nooooo! This is bad

What is a civil servant? Why do we hate 'em? Why do we love 'em? And why is being one such a complicated thing? Those are the questions handled by this intro episode to the main trio: the rather well-endowed Lucy Yamagami, the timid Saya Miyoshi, and the email-hunting slacker "Tom" () Hasebe.
After watching the first episode of Working! on Hero TV, I was reminded of what I liked about Working!. The humor was handled, and the quirky cast manages to blend well together like a giant parfait. This time, in SxS, we get to see this kind of chemistry in a government office not a setting you'd often see in anime.
I definitely didn't regret picking this one up.
I'm a big fan of how the opening sequence blended 2D with 3D. And Lucy's sweater puppies ahoge is fun to watch.

well not bad for the first episode, first half is kinda boring and the OP just reminded me of SHAFT too much
I like interaction between Hasebe and Lucy near the end but I dislike the fact that he was helping her twice in the show, a few minutes apart and in similar manner
It's kinda losing the point during the second time and feels like it was there just for Joke/Comedy purpose

Easily the best premiere of the season so far. It would be wonderful to see another anime aimed at working adults anyway, but when it's as accurate and smart as S x S, all the more so. Takatsu really understands the workplace - the food service workplace, and now the office. The politics, the quirks, it's all spot-on. The writing was sharp, the visuals were good, and the cast was excellent. It's nice when a show you expect to be excellent lives up to that.

Aha, along with Kingdom, this has made it to my 'favourite anime this season so far' list
Hasebe is my favourite character right now, his personality and actions always bring a smile to my face when watching him In the case of "Actions speak louder than words" it's the opposite for him. His actions make him look helpful, friendly, professional. His words make him look....well, I mean, can I have your email?
Great first episode overall, i'm finally glad there was another anime that i'm able to enjoy this season as much as I did

Note that Upstart is now part of Fedora 9
PLEASE READ: This howto can damage your system. Use at your own risk!
This page contains information about using Upstart on Fedora
Installing upstart
Currently there are no rpms provided. Get the upstart and the example-jobs archives from the [http://upstart.ubuntu.com/download.html download page].
As described [http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html here] the configuration can be performed in two ways: here the secure way will be used. In this case Upstart will not totally replace init but will be installed in /opt/ where it has to be called explicitly with a boot kernel parameter. This is sufficient for testing. The configure line is: ./configure --prefix=/opt/upstart --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-compat=sysv The installation is the usual make && make install
Configuring Upstart
First of all the set of example jobs have to be extracted to /etc/event.d/. These examples make sure that upstart can boot your Fedora exactly like the old init does - this is called compat mode. However, the example jobs need some tweaking since they are written for Ubuntu.
- The PATH variable have to be modified so that the new init system calls the right executables:
- {{{Change PATH variable
perl -pi -e 'undef $/; s/script\n/script\n export PATH=\/opt\/upstart\/sbin:\$PATH\n/' /etc/event.d/rc*}}}
Fedora has a very important boot rc script which should be executed only once, directly after the start. Therefore, add it to the rcS script:
- {{{rcS start script modification
export PATH=/opt/upstart/sbin:$PATH # <= This was added in the last step exec /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit # <= ADD THIS LINE runlevel --set S >/dev/null || true :
The tty* files contain the command /sbin/getty. Fedora uses /sbin/mingetty, change that for all tty* files:
- {{{Change getty to mingetty
perl -pi -e 's/getty 38400/mingetty/' tty*}}}
The rc* files call the executable /etc/init.d/rc - Fedora, however, has this at /etc/rc.d/rc. Change that for all rc* files.
- {{{Change rc path
perl -pi -e 's/\/etc\/init.d\/rc/\/etc\/rc.d\/rc/' rc*}}}
There is no runlevel rcS in Fedora - therefore, change /etc/event.d/rcS:
- {{{Modify call for runlevel S
exec /etc/init.d/rcS must be changed to exec /etc/init.d/rc S}}}
Also, the script /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete has to be modified like this:
- {{{start on control-alt-delete
export PATH=/opt/upstart/sbin:$PATH # <-- ADD THIS LINE exec shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed" # REMOVE /sbin/ FROM THIS LINE
end script}}}
Boot with Upstart
To boot with upstart you have to create a modified grub entry. Therefore, open /boot/grub/grub.conf and create a copy of your current entry. Afterwards, change the init parameter of the kernel line to: init=/opt/upstart/sbin/init
Benchmarking with bootstart
If there is the need to benchmark the new system with bootchart, the bootchart entry in grub.conf need an additional parameter: bootchart_init=/opt/upstart/sbin/init
This howto was successfully tested on a Fedora Core 6 system (without X and disabled SELinux).

Not for the first time, Donovan McNabb's quirky speaking style and the desire of news outlets not present at his news conference to nonetheless "report" what happened caused a snafu today.
McNabb was asked, in the wake of his lobbying for the signing of Michael Vick, if he would similarly lobby for the Eagles to acquire Plaxico Burress. McNabb replied that he already had. As reporters' heads jerked up, across the NovaCare auditorium, McNabb explained: "I brought T.O. here."
McNabb was saying he had done something similar when he lobbied for the Eagles to acquire Terrell Owens in 2004.
Asked again about Burress, McNabb said "I don't think he would hurt. We have some great guys here, at our receiver position. Whatever you can do to enhance the team, you look into it."
None of this equates to McNabb lobbying to bring Burress into the Eagles' crowded WR picture, which right now might be the Eagles' deepest group. And of course, Burress, whose court case hasn't been decided, isn't really all that available.
Yet, inevitably, moments after McNabb spoke, the following appeared on the profootballtalk Web site:
"As it turns out, Mike Vick wasn't the only NFL wayward soul whom Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb (supposedly) wanted to bring to Philly.
McNabb also said during a Monday press conference that he has suggested pursuing receiver Plaxico Burress."
Except, of couruse, for the fact that he didn't.
Oh, yeah, the "supposedly" is because somebody somewhere told profootballtalk that they didn't believe McNabb lobbied to bring in Vick. Even though, at the same news conference today where he didn't say he lobbied to bring in Burress, McNabb offered details of his conversations with Vick, which he said predated management's involvement.

Buying guides
Dishwasher buying guide
Did you know that you can save time and reduce your utility bills by using an efficient, modern dishwasher, instead of washing by hand? Experts have compared dishwashers and washing up based on their use of time, water and energy.
According to studies, it can take up to 9 minutes to load a dishwasher with dirty plates and unload a dishwasher when everything is clean. This compares to up to a full hour to wash the same load by hand. This means switching to a dishwasher could give you back up to a week of your time every year.
Typically, most dishwashers use 12 Litres of water to wash a full family load of plates and dishes. Some, like Beko's QDW696, use only 6 litres of water. The same load could use up to 49 litres of water when washing by hand and a lot of power to heat. A dishwasher uses exactly the right amount of water and heat to make your dishes sparklingly clean.
What do the energy ratings mean?
All dishwashers will have an energy label and this provides a good indication of how much energy and water it will use.
All dishwashers are graded A+++ to D for energy efficiency, with A+++ being the most efficient and cheapest to run. The energy ratings are determined by testing the energy consumed washing a collection of soiled tableware and dishes using the standard cycle recommended by the manufacturer.
The better the energy efficiency the more money you save on your utility bills. All B&Q dishwashers are rated A to A+++.

2011 has been hailed as the "year of geolocation." Alas, so was 2010. As was 2009 and 2008. Yet geolocation services like Foursquare and Gowalla continue to seek mainstream audiences with limited success.
Most smartphone users have never used a geolocation app. What's holding them back? And how should marketers approach these emerging technologies?
The Value of Geolocation
It's easy to see why marketers would be interested in geolocation: You can effectively target customers at the most important point in the consideration cycle – standing right in front of you. Digital marketing has historically been tasked with either an awareness/brand-building role, or – more frequently – a direct response role, driving customers right into the ecommerce funnel.

Casimir scores 34 to lead Trinity past McMahon
NORWALK -- It was midway through the third quarter Friday and the heavily-favored Trinity Catholic High boys basketball team found itself trailing Brien McMahon by eight points. No one had to tell Schadrac Casimir it was time for him to take over the game, but he heard it anyway.
"I have the mentality to take over when needed, but when my coaches and teammates told me it was time, it gave me a lot of confidence," Casimir said after scoring 34 points to help the Crusaders escape Kehoe-King Gym with a 73-58 victory.
The senior guard scored 21 points in the final 13 minutes as the Crusaders avoided what would have been the biggest upset of the FCIAC season. Casimir led a 13-0 run that turned a 42-34 deficit into a 47-42 lead.
"(Casimir) is a three-year starter and we expect him to step up when we need it," Trinity coach Mike Walsh said. "We were able to turn the game around when we got aggressive on defense and when Schadrac started putting the ball into the basket."
The comeback ruined what was looking like a special evening for the struggling Senators (3-12, 3-10 FCIAC). Larry McKinney had 24 points and nine rebounds to lead McMahon, but Casimir and the Trinity defense proved too much.
"We showed we can play with anybody," McMahon coach Ken Dustin said. "We did a great job for 2½ quarters but then we lost our focus and our ability to take care of the basketball."
With Casimir (seven steals), Tremaine Fraiser (16 points, 10 rebounds), Brandon Wheeler (eight rebounds) and Neno Merritt (nine boards) starting to dominate on both ends of the floor, the Crusaders outscored McMahon 39-16 over the final 13 minutes.
Trinity (13-1, 11-1) forced 16 second-half turnovers (28 in all against 13 for TC), and outrebounds the Senators 19-11 in the second half (32-29 overall). The Crusaders looked like a completely different team in those final 13 minutes.
"I guess we were thinking how great we were in beating Ridgefield last game," Walsh said. "We thought we'd win easy tonight but once the playoffs begin, one bad quarter and you're out. Hopefully this will be a lesson."
"We have a bad habit of coming out lackadaisical," Casimir added. "It's definitely a concern."
McMahon certainly deserves some of the credit Friday. With McKinney, Thomas Hinton and Kyle Jordan playing at their best, McMahon had a 19-9 lead after one period, and led 31-27 at the half. A nice spurt early in the third quarter made it 42-34 when Delquan Howard drained a 3 with five minutes left in the quarter. The Senators were then outscored 15-2 the rest of the quarter, and it got even worse in the final period when Casimir scored 17 of the Crusaders' 24 points.
"We just couldn't stay with Casimir," Dustin said. "He so quick and when he gets going he can knock down any shot he wants."
Schadrac Casimir 10 12 16 34; TremaineFraiser 6 3-4 16; Brandon Wheeler 3 2-2 8; Neno Merritt 3 1-2 7; Dan O'Leary 2 0-0 4; Tyrell St. John 2 0-0 4. Totals: 26-62 18-24 73
Larry McKinney 9 6-6 24; Delquan Howard 2 1-2 6; Andy Mitchell 4 0-0 8; Brandon Christie 0 0-0 0; Justin Walker 2 0-0 4; Allen Lenard 0 0-0 0; Thomas Hinton 4 0-0 8; Andrew Rivera 1 0-0 2; Kyle Jordan 2 2-3 6. Totals: 24-47 9-11 58
3-pointers: T--Casimir 2, Fraiser; M--Howard.
Highlights: T--Casimir 7 steals, Fraiser 10 rebounds, Merritt 9 rebounds, Wheeler 8 rebounds; M--McKinney 9 rebounds, Mitchell 6 rebounds.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore men's volleyball player DJ White started all four sets at outside hitter as the United States Men's Junior National Team defeated Canada, 26-24, 25-17, 23-25, 25-21, to claim gold at the 2012 NORCECA Men's Junior Continental Championship (U-21).
White ranked fourth overall in kills and hit .492 in the tournament. He recorded nine kills and three digs in the championship game.
The Crimson sophomore started every set he played in; including each set in the semi-finals against Puerto Rico and finals, and the United States won all five of its matches in the six-day tournament to earn a trip to the 2013 FIVB Men's Volleyball Junior World Championship.
White, who was named to the All-EIVA first-team in 2012, was one of 12 players selected to play for the MJNT after a three-week tryout with 18 invitees. He helped Harvard achieve its best season in program history as a freshman, ranking third on the team with 3.1 points per set and 2.76 kills per set, and hit .319.

For the second week in a row, the Florida defense is preparing to face two quarterbacks Saturday.
For the second week in a row, the Florida defense is preparing to face two quarterbacks Saturday.
Kentucky has played both Maxwell Smith and Jalen Whitlow in its first three games. Smith is a dropback passer, while Whitlow is more of a dual-threat quarterback.
"We just have to be prepared for both, obviously," UF defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said Wednesday. "They play both of them in all the games. Both guys have maybe a different skill set, but a strong skill set.
"They both look like they're executing what they want to do on offense. And, they've been able to move the ball and do well. So, we're obviously watching to see who's in there and what they like to do with each one. There are some similarities, but there are also some differences, so we're just preparing for those."
The Wildcats are averaging 490.0 yards of total offense a game.
Halapio seeing fine now
Starting offensive guard Jon Halapio, who needed stitches after getting poked in the right eye in the Tennessee game, said he's fine now.
"It feels good. I can see out of it and everything," he said. "The swelling went down. I've just been icing it this week.
"It was pretty tough (to play through it) just because I couldn't see. Not so much the pain. I didn't really even feel the pain. I was just worried about seeing the blocking schemes and stuff like that."
Halapio also is playing with a brace on his upper body to protect the pectoral muscle he tore before the start of preseason camp. He said the brace does not limit him.
"I didn't notice any difference, honestly," he said. "Once you get that adrenaline going in you, you don't notice any difference with any of the injuries. The brace didn't really prevent anything from my game."
Zero picks for the 'Cats
Kentucky is the only team in the SEC that has not intercepted a pass this season, which may or may not bode well for Tyler Murphy in his starting debut.
"Well, it's disappointing," UK coach Mark Stoops said. "I think when we have the opportunities we need to come up with the catches. I think we had one bounce right off our chest in the last outing. That can't happen. You've got to catch the ball, especially against a quality opponent.
"When you get an opportunity, you've got to make the most of it. So, we do need to do a better job of creating turnovers and getting some interceptions. But yeah, with that being said, I think we're doing some better things back there (in the secondary)."
Fowler breaking through
Sophomore defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. played the best game of his young career in the win over Tennessee. He forced two fumbles, had a sack and was named the SEC's defensive player of the week. It's the kind of performance the UF coaches have been expecting from him.
"It was great (to see)," Durkin said. "Dante really let it loose. That was more indicative of what we feel like we can see from him every week. Not that he's played bad. I just think at times he took over the game a little bit and dominated the line of scrimmage.
"He has that ability and I think he's just scratching the surface for what he can do and he's starting to realize it. So we're going to keep pushing him and coaching him like crazy."
Durkin: Christy will rebound
Durkin, who was the special teams coordinator last season, said he's not sure why punter Kyle Christy has gotten off to such a shaky start this season
"To tell you the truth, my time is really spent on defense now. I haven't evaluated enough to look and point out what's different," Durkin said. "The obvious difference is in the production that everyone can see.
"Kyle is a competitor. We know he's a talented guy. Sometimes you go through those deals. He'll work through it and be fine. He's proven he's very capable and he's a determined guy. He understands he has to get better, and he will."
After dropping a snap and averaging only 37.0 yards a punt in the UT game, Christy finds himself having to fend off true freshman Johnny Townsend for the starting role this week.

LONDON (AP) — The Academy Awards recognized tales of struggle, suffering and love in the Oscars' foreign-language category Thursday, nominating five films from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including a bluegrass-flavored Belgian drama and a tale of tragic romance from the Palestinian territories.
The contenders include Felix van Groeningen's "The Broken Circle Breakdown," about a music-loving couple facing the serious illness of their child, and Hany Abu-Assad's "Omar," the story of a love affair and its consequences against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
They're up against "The Hunt," from Denmark; "The Great Beauty," from Italy; and Cambodian drama "The Missing Picture." The winner will be announced at the 86th Oscars ceremony in Hollywood on March 2.
This is one of the Oscars' most unpredictable categories, in part because countries nominate just one feature each — leading to surprise omissions. The highly praised French lesbian drama "Blue is the Warmest Color," a Palme d'Or winner at Cannes, was not submitted by France because it opened too late for the Academy's rules.
But it can be a chance for highly personal films from small countries to gain big international audiences.
"If there's a message here, it's make the kind of movie you want, believe in yourself and don't copycat," a delighted van Groeningen told The Associated Press after learning of the nomination of "The Broken Circle Breakdown."
"It's been a wild ride to make this film," he said.
"There's something crazy about this movie. The Americans really love it. They respond really emotionally to it. But on the other hand, they wouldn't make that kind of movie."
Abu-Assad, an Israeli-born director of Palestinian descent, previously earned an Oscar nomination — and controversy — for his 2005 film "Paradise Now," about two young West Bank men planning to become suicide bombers.
"Omar" also touches on a sensitive subject, focusing on a Palestinian man who becomes an Israeli informer.
And it couldn't avoid political sensitivities even at Thursday's nomination announcement, where "Omar" was described as a film from Palestine, rather than the Palestinian territories, the designation used for his earlier film. Neither the Academy nor Israel had any immediate comment on the nomenclature.
Abu-Assad said he was anxious about the road to the Oscars but delighted by the nomination.
"I'm happy to get recognition from people in this business and to represent Palestine," he said. "It's not a country yet, it's not a state, it's a nation fighting for equality and freedom and justice and to represent that is an honor."
Paolo Sorrentino's bittersweet love letter to Rome, "The Great Beauty," won a Golden Globe on Sunday for best foreign film and looks like a strong contender for the Oscar.
Sorrentino's film follows a jaded journalist through the Italian city, from medieval squares and grand palazzi to hedonistic parties in modernist penthouses.
"I went to bed early and rose early, I had this beautiful sunrise with this exciting news," said Sorrentino, still in Los Angeles after his Globes triumph. "Let's say the morning produces perfection."
The poetic and sardonic film depicts Rome in all its decadent glory, contrasting the city's visual wonders with the malaise of some of its inhabitants — a mood that reflects Italy's economic and political paralysis. Still, Sorrentino said, "it is only incidental that it concentrates on Italy or Rome."
"It's about the miseries, splendors, joys of a city," he said.
In "The Missing Picture," Cambodia's Rithy Panh explores the legacy of Pol Pot's bloody dictatorship on his own family.
Based on his nightmarish memoir "The Elimination," Panh's film documents his family's experience under the Khmer Rouge, which resulted in the deaths of his parents and sisters. It won top prize in the "Un Certain Regard" sidebar competition at last year's Cannes festival.
"I am very, very happy for me, but also for my team and my country," the director told the AP, saying the nomination was an important recognition of a film that gives voice to the country's history.
He said it is "very important that this be recognized and give hope" to artists, writers, technicians and young Cambodians.
Love and tragedy mingle in "The Hunt," Thomas Vinterberg'stense drama about a teacher, played by Mads Mikkelsen, whose comfortable small-town life is destroyed when he is wrongly accused of child abuse.
"It's obviously a bit of a dark tale," said Vinterberg. "But I've seen people being profoundly moved by it. I think the love between the characters and the friendship of these people, speaks to the audience."
Vinterberg, whose previous films include "Festen" ("The Celebration"), said Academy Awards recognition is gratifying for any filmmaker, no matter where they come from.
"There is a very long distance from Denmark to Hollywood, in many ways," he said. "I think America is the frontier of western civilization, for good and for worse. And it's important that my film performs there."
Associated Press writers Tia Goldenberg in Jerusalem, Jan M. Olsen in Copenhagen, Denmark, Cassandra Vinograd in London, John-Thor Dahlburg in Brussels and Colleen Barry in Milan, Italy contributed to this report.

Tanner, Maurice, and George C. Tanner. Descendants of John Tanner: Born August 15, 1778 at Hopkintown, R.I., Died April 15, 1850 at South Cottonwood, Salt Lake County, Utah. Salem, MA: Higginson Book Company, 2007.
In looking at this book, when I was much younger, I was impressed by a plate at the beginning of the book showing our family's "Coat of Arms." It was a remarkably ugly and rather crude drawing (which I will not reproduce here in the event that some Tanner family member immediately adopts it as valid). As I began to be more involved in genealogy, many years later, I was struck by the statement on page 7 of the book made after listing several men in England with the Tanner name and noting that the "name is clearly of English origin, although found in Wales, Ireland and even in Switzerland and among our Scandinavian cousins":
It is not definitely known from which of the first emigrants of the name to America were descended but it is generally believed that ll lines of this illustrious family in England were of common ancestry at a remote period.
The blunt truth of the matter is that the original Tanner, to whom this branch of the family traces its ancestry, arrived in America about 1680 and, so far, his ancestry has yet to be established with any certainty. In other words, it is pure speculation that any of the people listed in the introductory paragraph of this section of the book are in any way related to our American family.
I have spent a considerable time and effort examining early records of the Tanner family and, so far, my research has confirmed the statement that its origin past 1680 in Rhode Island, "is not definitely known."
So where did the Coat of Arms come from? Why is there some claim to a Coat of Arms if the origin of the family is unknown? The more serious question is why would you believe that a surname that is obviously adopted from an occupation, can be traced back to a common ancestry? Can you claim ownership of a Coat of Arms merely because you share a common surname with someone who had a Coat of Arms in England? Does a Coat of Arms mean anything more than the person has a surname? Is a Coat of Arms merely a useful symbol of the family and helps to engender interest in family history?
The answer to this question determines to some extent your approach to genealogy and/or family history. The fundamental question as expressed by Val Greenwood in his book,
is this: Is genealogy a science or a pastime. He says, at page 8, "Genealogy should be a science--it deserves to be a science--but the methods of some tend to lower it to the level of a mere pastime, and that built upon false premises."
Now I have to say that the statements made in the Tanner book and other surname books written about my family contributed to my passion for genealogy. But not in the way you might expect. I was not caught up in a desire to know about my romantic past with kings and knights in England, I was appalled at the inaccuracy and mistakes of fact transmitted by these books and I was offended by the fact that for so many years, I had been told something that was fundamentally untrue. My desire was to find out for myself whether or not the information, unsourced as it was, was true or not. I am still in that mode and still finding inaccuracies and misinformation.
Unfortunately, I am losing ground rapidly. The proliferation of family trees including my own family lines is so immense that it is doubtful that the mistakes and errors will ever be corrected. The fables and falsehoods are now accepted as fact and spread at the speed of light to unknowing family members.
That Tanner Coat of Arms to me is a symbol of everything that is wrong with genealogy and its more general name, family history.

I knew I had a future in fiction when …
For awhile, it was all cutesy crayon drawings and homemade birthday cards and "recipies" I wrote in 1981 for things like "quick nut cake" (take flour—brown sugar nut's one egg plan sugar mix Add anything Cook one hour Wath. When done stick toothpick in if hot cool.)
"Cheese saled" (tak eny kind of cheese and sherd. It the take some lettus and cute cumbers and parmison cheese and mix and serve).
"Candy bars." (First take Hershey's chocolate and cool whip and nuts and mix then harden in blocks and freeze overnigt in morning take out and enjoy.)
Then I came across something a bit, well, ODD in one of my old kindergarten report cards. My teacher Miss Barb had written this in the comment section: "Jessica is a bright, talkative student. She continues to do well in school. But I don't know where she gets the disturbing idea that parents who do not want their babies boil them alive!!!"
Yes, there were three exclamation marks. And no Miss Barb, none of us know where I came up with that one. I know my parents didn't tell me this, because a) I lived through childhood, b) they didn't boil my younger siblings, and c) if I had the kind of parents who told things like that to their children, I doubt I'd have gotten A's in school. Or combed my hair on a daily basis.
But you know, I really shouldn't be surprised by this strange comment from my first teacher. After all, it was also the year in which I drew this:
Now, who wants cream with their Monday morning coffee?

Okay, that's just plain funny. The drawing especially. I love to look through my old papers, like the time when I was in eighth grade and wrote about love, wondering on paper if I was in love with the guy I had a crush on or not. Through pages of prose, I finally decided that I was indeed in love. I can't actually remember who it was, though. Hmmmm.ReplyDelete
That drawing made me laugh out loud-too funny! I love coming across things like that. I recently came across a box of letters from college that brought up a lot of emotion. I laughed and cried at the same time.ReplyDelete
My first attempt at fiction was when I was 13. I honestly thought I had a wonderful work of fiction. It was a family saga about a girl who was adopted by a big family. It sucked.ReplyDelete
That picture was disturbing, only for the fact that I can feel Mama Cat's pain.ReplyDelete
I ran across a leter to Santa that I wrote when I was 5:
"Dear Santa, thank you for the toys. I left a cookie and a gin and tonic by the window for you."
That's hilarious! I love, love, love the picture of the cat and the kitten. I'm actually going to send that link to my friend...ReplyDelete
That's actually quite an accurate depiction of what it's like to breastfeed.ReplyDelete
LMFAO!!!! THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MOST HILARIOUS THING I'VE SEEN ALL WEEKEND!!! LOL!ReplyDelete
Nice picture. Now I feel like I've eaten a bad hotdog.ReplyDelete
HOLY CRAP, I am laughing so hard right now. That was f*ing awesome. I feel a strong urge to fly back to NY right now to rummage through my old school stuff and report back. A couple years ago I found my kindergarden report card, and apparently I had trouble with my shapes. Who knew? Good thing I worked that out or Hollywood Squares would confuse me even more than it already does.ReplyDelete
"What the *F* does circle gets the square even mean?!?"
I wanted to show Hubz your cat picture as we were talking about how freakin' deformed your boobs look when you're using a scary, evil breast pump.The similarity is uncanny.ReplyDelete
BTW...Did you see that I loved this post so much I pimped it on my list of good things for the week? lol

338 federal decline
Ruger is no longer chambering any guns in the 338 fed. I am real surprised by its rapid decline among gun makers. I thought it would last because it was chambered in bolt actions and the modern hunting AR platform. Any thoughts?

In surprised, but I'm not. The 338 Federal is one of those perfect rounds like 284 Winchester which just doesn't get any love for some reason. IMO, it would have been better as the 338 FFEH(Federal Featherweight Elk Harvester)...

The reason for the decline is that there isn't much of a demand for a short range thumper like the Federal. If there were the .358 Win would be immensely more popular on the commercial rifle market as well. Believe me the .338 Federal is here to stay and the reloaders and rifle loonies will keep it going.

Because in reality it offered nothing over a 308 and was a step down compared to a 30-06. Both are well estabilished and hard to compete with.

Yeah, a short range big game round isn't what people are buying these days. Performance wise it doesn't seems to fill a niche or a void. Other rounds will do what it does and have a better selection of ammo. Same with the 480 Ruger, 325 wsm, etc. not every capable rounds that comes out makes marketing sense.

The .308 case has been done to death. What next, a .204-08? As others stated, "There is simply no need for it".

Pardon me for manipulating your words like a politician would...
It is my experience that the American hunter wants to live the dream that the need a 300 Wallhanger that will have 0-600 yd straight line trajectory and enough killing power to drop whatever, even if the hit it in the ear. It would be best if it requires no practice, weighs 3lbs with a 2-29x72 scope and shoots $8.99/20 ammo.
^^^That is why the 338 Federal failed. It can't make the false promises that the 270 WSM and 300 Rem Ultra Mag do. ... Or at least the experts at every LGS tell me so.

It does not seem to fill a niche. I would prefer the .338-06 if I were to go to the .338 caliber. I had one once when I was on orders to Alaska, but the orders were cancelled and I never shot anything with it.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 ¶Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

The 338 Fed shoots the same bullet weights 50-100 fps faster than a 308 and 50-100 fps slower than 30-06.
Compared to a 308 it has a very slight edge in energy at close range, but the more aerodynamic 308 bullets passes it in both trajectory and energy before the 200 yard mark.
A .308 bullet of approximately the same weight will not only be more aerodynamic and retain energy better at long range, it will also outpenetrate a comparable weight .338 bullet at any range. You'd have to move up to a 225 gr .338 bullet to match the penetration of a 200 gr. 308 bullet. The .003" difference in diameter is a non-issue. After bullet impact and expansion there wouldn't be any measurable difference.
My 308 weighs under 6 lbs scoped so I've got a short light rifle already that will do the same thing. Instead of dreaming up the 338 Fed, they should have offered a factroy loaded 200 gr Nosler Accubond @ around 2550 fps.

If you stick with factory loads and data the .338 Federal shoots a 210 grain bullet 60 fps faster than a .308 with a 180 grain bullet, and 70 fps slower than a .30-06 with a 180. With a 185 grain bullet a .338 is 50 fps faster than the standard 2700 fps for a 180 grain .30-06 load. With the 210 grain bullet the .30-06 doesn't match the energy until 300 yards and they stay pretty close at 400 yards, and the trajectory of the 210 is equal to a .308 with a 180 out to 400 yards.
Even dropping down to a 165 grain bullet in .308 it doesn't best the Federal with a 210 grain bullet by much until you get past 500 yards. The .338 Federal will still have more energy, and a 3-5" more drop at 500 yards. The Federal is in its sweet spot between 200-400 yards. You're right about the .30 cals offering more penetration however I don't think you'll have issues with the .338 Federal and penetration through tissue and bone using a 210 grain Nosler Partition.
(All comparisons were taken from Federal Cartridge 2013 ballistic charts. All bullets were chosen on similar construction or BC except the 185 grain bullet. 180 & 210 grain bullet comaprisons were Nosler Partitions, 165 grain bullet Sierra GK, 185 grain bullet listed as "Soft Point".)
