On Saturday, Matt and I were driving home from Natchitoches when we pulled off for gas at the I-49 and I-10 crossing. Just as we began to leave the onramp to get onto I-10 East, a pickup towing a trailer whizzed by in the left lane. In the moment it passed, a four-wheeler flew off the trailer and into our lane. It bounced twice in the road, and fell into the ditch, coming maybe 10 feet from the car in front of us.
"Matt! Look at that!" I yelled. He gasped. We pulled over onto the shoulder, behind the other car. A few seconds later, after the lane cleared, we got back onto the road. The two middle-aged women in the other car still sat on the shoulder. Their car wasn't hit by the flying motorcycle; I imagine they were still in shock. Only one second, and maybe not even that many, kept them from being crushed by this motorcycle. And that means Matt and me were only two seconds, maybe three, from the same thing happening.
I wonder how often that sort of thing happens to us unawares — near-misses that we don't see. The shark that glides silently past our legs as we play with our children in the surf.

Tom Stoppard, Freedom Fighter
Tom Stoppard, the witty British playwright most famous for his mind-bending twist on Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, is the feature of an Observer article on human rights. Stoppard's plays are like Samuel Beckett by way of Oscar Wilde, with detours to Bardland—postmodern riffs on Big Themes like love and death and liberty, but with Wilde-worthy one-liners. This might make him a curious choice for a conversation about human rights, except for the fact that Stoppard's personal history and literary preoccupations… READ MORE >
Adam and Eve make a stand in California
You connect the dots: A California couple refuses to submit to the state's new "gender-neutral" marriage license that replaces bride and groom with "Party A" and "Party B." Buried within a Scientific American article on storytelling and the brain (cited by John Murphy below) is a fascinating discovery made by "literary Darwinists" about the universality of romance and sex roles: "The idea of romantic love has not been traditionally considered to be a cultural universal because of the many societies in which marriage… READ MORE >
Secrets of storytelling
Having just read a collection of masterful short-stories by Tobias Wolff, the issue of what makes storytelling such an intrinsic, necessary part of the human condition has been at the forefront of my mind. An article in the most recent issue of Scientific American approaches this age-old question from a left-brained perspective: "Popular tales do far more than entertain. Psychologists and neuroscientists have recently become fascinated by the human predilection for storytelling. Why does our brain seem to be wired to enjoy stories?… READ MORE >
Vatican Searching for Next Raphael. Or Roy Lichtenstein?
The Catholic Church used to be Western Civ's pre-eminent patron of art and architecture. But the past few hundred years have seen the Vatican slowly transition from commissioner to collector, safeguarding the long and luminous tradition of Church art. Tantalizing signs of change are looming, however. Newsweek is reporting on the Vatican's recent plans to reach out to the modern art world and reignite the dialogue between Church and artists: "This fall, the Holy See hopes to revive its cultural side by searching for artists willing… READ MORE >
#110 Stuff White People Like
The Atlantic has an interesting commentary on the popular blog site, Stuff White People Like (also now a New York Times bestselling book). The website features mini-essays by Christian Lander, a PhD dropout now famous for skewering the tastes and mores of 'White People'—alternately called 'bourgeois bohemians' and the 'educated elite'—that curious class of soi-disant progressives that vote Democrat and pursue 'personal happiness' as the highest good while attempting to define "themselves… READ MORE >
The Democrats are Blowing the Election—and the Catholic Vote
The best thing about how the Democratic Party is kicking away what should be an easy victory in the November presidential election is that it might force them to finally reassess their support for abortion and gay marriage, positions that are unpopular with working class voters, their natural constituency. A subplot here is how the Dems were actually making inroads among faithful Catholics fed up with George Bush—until Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden opened their mouths in public about Catholic moral theology. A front pagearticle in today's… READ MORE >
The Church on the financial meltdown: Usury and speculation are to blame
If there's anyone in the mainstream media willing to listen to the Church these days (I doubt it), they'll discover that centuries of Catholic teaching about the sinful practices of usury and financial speculation can explain why Wall Street is tumbling down. (For the best technical explanation, read The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash, by Charles Morris, a Catholic, and frequent contributor to Commonweal). Put very simply, usury is lending money at punishingly high interest rates,… READ MORE >
David Foster Wallace, postmodern moralist, dead at 46
The apparent suicide of David Foster Wallace, the prodigiously talented author of the novel Infinite Jest, is a sad, stunning end for a writer whose best work burst with unflagging energy and propulsive imagination. Though often lumped with postmodernists like Thomas Pynchon, Wallace's fiction had a deeply-felt humanity and breadth-of-scope that could recall Dickens at his wild-and-wooliest. Though Infinite Jest, a roughly thousand-page doorstopper, will no-doubt prove Wallace's literary legacy, some of his best writing was bite-sized:… READ MORE >
David Brooks explains the Republican Party's Catholic problem
In a NY Times column today called "The Social Animal," David Brooks pinpoints exactly why so many Catholics hold their noses every four years as they vote Republican for president merely because of the party's stance against abortion and gay marriage. As any Catholic who's watched a Republican convention knows, the GOP is about individualism—"the stout pioneer crossing the West, the risk-taking entrepreneur with a vision, the stalwart hero fighting the collectivist foe," as Brooks describes it. We've heard… READ MORE >
Alfred Hitchcock: Mistaken Identities
The Times Literary Supplement just ran two reviews of recent books about Alfred Hitchcock, the iconic filmmaker whose morbid Catholicism bled into the edges of such classics as Vertigo, I Confess, and Shadow of a Doubt. His movies—popular entertainments in their own time, snubbed by critics and award-givers—have since become the subject of exhaustive theoretical analysis, picked over by feminists, queer theorists, postmodernists, Catholics, and students of film. Paula Cohen, the reviewer, writes: "He (Hitchcock) was able to make… READ MORE >
Pro-Life vs. Family Values? Is Newsweek's Jacob Weisberg promoting eugenics?
The culture war is back, stronger than ever, with the liberal media completely flummoxed over how to handle Sarah Palin. But what's really thrown them is Bristol Palin's unwed teen pregnancy, and the Republican Party's surprisingly warm-hearted, non-judgemental response to it. How else to explain Jacob Weisberg's bizarre column, "Whatever Happened to Family Values" in the latest Newsweek (a slightly different version is on Slate.com). In the column Weisberg accuses conservative Christians of hypocrisy… READ MORE >
Christian Witness in the Aftermath of Hate
I was ordained a priest on May 23rd. My life now is bound more intensely than ever to the central Mystery of our faith, the Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. I never imagined that so soon in my priestly life would I see the Eucharist attacked so publicly. You may have seen these stories in the press. On June 29th, the feast of Sts.

Hi Mary Lynn!! I really enjoyed your show tonight at Flappers in Burbank. Sorry if I might have messed up your Doula joke when I said I thought they were just nurses…I love your podcast and it was a real pleasure to see your performance in person.
Hi Mary Lynn!! I don't get what publicists really do; I remember that Mentalist podcast and there was NOTHING wrong with it! Does she think the audience is so gullible that we can't tell the difference between a character you play and the real person?!? That you're ruining the image of a character we hadn't even seen yet by doing this show? GEEZ!!
ANYWAYS, good luck with this project, and I liked the acoustic version of the theme song!

About Tiffany K
Well "anonymous coward", with all due respect yes the poor suffer but the independent middle class suffers as well. The ironic thing is all these government programs are meant to bring the poorest among us up, but it really just creates more poverty. At least low income earners can qualify for government assistance programs in healthcare, education, housing, food stamps, utilities subsidies, even government assisted cell phone plans. But what about the middle class family that barely gets by but now, due to higher costs of everything, can't anymore?
They're too "rich" to receive aid but too poor for anything in life to be easy.
Despite working endlessly, doing everything the "right" way, their story is little told.

Ramesh Ponnuru: Priebus pushing for a Republican reality checkRAMESH PONNURU
February 28. 2013 9:01PM
Some Republicans haven't gotten to the first step: the one where you admit there's a problem. In a roundup of reactions to the 2012 presidential election by the magazine Commentary, for example, conservative writer Wilfred McClay says Republican worriers are "wildly overwrought" because the 2012 election was "close."
So it counts as a good sign that the chairman of the Republican National Committee has a different perspective.
"We haven't won a decisive presidential election in 24 years," says Reince Priebus - the first name is short for Reinhold - in his office. George H.W. Bush's election in 1988, he points out, was the last time Republicans carried California, New Jersey, Illinois or Pennsylvania. (He could have accurately added another large state, Michigan.) With so many electoral votes off-limits, Republicans have to carry almost every tossup state to win.
Priebus isn't the man to save the party from shrinking to irrelevance - that will take a presidential candidate - but Republicans are generally happy with the job he has done, even in a season of gloom. They are still grateful that he is not Michael Steele, the man he replaced in January 2011. Priebus doesn't get in the news for saying dumb things, which was a weekly occurrence under his predecessor.
After Steele's tenure, the Republican National Committee had to do some rebuilding, especially in regaining the confidence of major donors. Although it was $24 million in the red when Priebus took over, it now has $7 million in the bank.
He now wants to spend a chunk of that money expanding the party's infrastructure. The main tactical lesson Priebus draws from the 2012 election is that "we've entered a world of permanent politics." By this he means that it isn't enough for parties to contact voters in the months before elections. They have to maintain a constant presence in every community they are trying to reach, as President Barack Obama and the Democrats did.
In particular, Republicans have to do better with "low propensity voters." In Wisconsin, where Priebus was a successful state party chairman before coming to Washington, 550,000 more people voted in the presidential election than had voted a few months earlier in an election to determine whether Republican Gov. Scott Walker would be recalled. Republicans won the earlier race but lost the second (and also lost a Senate seat they thought they had a chance at).
Priebus worries that if they don't improve their showing among these infrequent voters, they might find themselves in a trap where they do well in low-turnout midterms and then become overconfident about presidential elections.
He doesn't believe that getting on-the-fence voters to choose Republican candidates, and then actually vote, is primarily a matter of improving the party's use of social science and technology. What it mostly requires, he says, is a new mindset from Republicans: "We've divorced ourselves from the culture." It's "very harmful" when Republicans make fun of Obama for going on "The View" instead of understanding how it helps him make his case.
Priebus also thinks his party has taken the wrong approach to the issues, not least by letting spending cuts crowd out other parts of a conservative agenda. "It turns out that people like sugar more than they like the dentist," he says. At Republican gatherings, "we can't just have one person more mad than the next about the deficit and the debt. It's not good enough to win the math argument."
Although he acknowledges that Republicans need to make inroads among groups that don't vote for them, he also thinks the party can do more to "run the score up" among groups that do. He mentions veterans, Mormons and churchgoing Catholics.
Priebus also wants to change the process that Republicans use to pick their presidential nominees. He wants a shorter primary calendar, and fewer media-sponsored debates. Those reforms would help front-runners and hurt insurgents, which is presumably the point: less camera time for hopeless candidates. One idea under consideration is to reduce candidates' delegate hauls if they participate in debates the party hasn't approved. That proposal could lead to yet another tea party-versus-establishment fracas.
Another part of Priebus's project won't face much resistance, he thinks: Both grassroots supporters and political donors want the party to be more engaged in the years before elections. Improved turnout from Republican-leaning voters isn't what the party most needs. The state that gave Obama his 270th electoral vote, Colorado, went for him by 5.4 percentage points. It's implausible that a better get-out-the-vote operation can make up that shortfall. The party needs a new agenda, and Priebus seems willing to take a back seat to other Republicans on questions of policy.
What Priebus is doing, though, might make a difference in close races. It's up to the party's candidates to make them close in the first place.

Police pursuit called off at Illinois border
No injuries reported
Police pursuit called off at Illinois border
No injuries reported
OAK CREEK, Wis. —
No injuries were reported.
A driver led authorities on a pursuit through parts of three counties early Thursday morning.
Oak Creek police said it started when an officer tried to pull a driver over for a traffic violation in the 9900 block of S. 27th Street.
The driver fled the scene, at which point a pursuit began on the interstate. It took place in parts of Milwaukee County, Racine County, and Kenosha County.
Assisting law enforcement agencies laid down spike strips, which damaged the vehicle's tires but didn't immediately stop it.
The pursuit was called off when the vehicle entered Illinois. Police said the driver was later located in Illinois.
No injuries were reported.

The Einstein/Montefiore Division of Dermatology has established a new Procedural Dermatology Fellowship Program. This one-year, ACGME-approved fellowship offers post-graduate training in cutaneous oncology, Mohs micrographic surgery, procedural dermatology, and cosmetic and laser medicine in state-of-the-art, CLIA-certified, outpatient ambulatory facilities.
Fellows complete multidisciplinary rotations with otolaryngology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, and podiatry, and perform 1000 surgical cases, at least 500 of which are Mohs cases, and serve as clinical instructors in a resident dermatologic surgery clinic, presiding over a variety of standard excisional and nail surgery cases. They also undergo training in the use of fillers, neurotoxins, chemical peels, sclerotherapy, and lasers, tumescent liposuction, autologous fat transfer, endovenous ablation, non-invasive body contouring involving ultrasound/radiofrequency based devices, blepharoplasty, rhytidectomy, and hair transplantation. Fellows have one half day each week allocated for research time and submit manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal or deliver a presentation at a national meeting. Funding is provided for fellows to attend the annual meetings of American College of Mohs Surgery and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery.
Program director Dr. David Ciocon, a graduate of Harvard University, UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical Scool, Brown University, and Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, has written multiple publications on surgical and non-surgical approaches to aesthetic rejuvenation. He has performed over 2000 Mohs surgeries and reconstructions, and has clinical interests in facial reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, laser-assisted tumescent liposuction, autologous fat transfer, laser medicine, and minimally invasive cosmetic dermatology.
The next fellowship position begins July 2015. Full program information is available on the Division of Dermatology website.

Case IH announces "Selected by Case IH" — a new program that provides peace-of-mind for buyers of pre-owned Case IH agricultural equipment.
Each "Selected by Case IH" tractor comes with a non-deductible power train warranty of 12 months or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. The warranty covers the engine, transmission, axles and final drives.
With "Selected by Case IH", buyers can be sure the tractor is reconditioned not only to look 'as new' but to perform 'as new,' says Randy Wood, Case IH product marketing manager for row-crop tractors and commercial re-marketing.
"Selected by Case IH" buyers will realize significant cost savings over purchasing a new tractor and will have the security of a company-backed warranty.
To earn the "Selected by Case IH" mark, pre-owned equipment must pass rigid and demanding standards, Wood says.
To be eligible for reconditioning, tractors must be clean, well maintained and have low hours. Once basic eligibility is established, tractors are measured against a detailed checklist to assure performance and reliability.
Tractors that meet the checklist requirements or undergo factory upgrades to be brought up to current standards will be distinguished with the "Selected by Case IH" badge.
"The first step is to drain all the driveline, hydraulic and cooling system fluids and filters and send samples to an independent testing lab for analysis," Wood said. "The results of those comprehensive tests help determine which tractors will make our cut."
Any parts or components that do not meet factory specifications are replaced. Upgrades are completed to bring the tractor up to current standards.
Buyers receive copies of the tractor's reconditioning checklist, as well as copies of an independent lab's fluid analysis, plus an owner's manual.
Initially, the "Selected by Case IH" program will be available only on 8900 Series Magnum tractors. The first reconditioned tractors will be available in dealerships in 2001.
In the future, look for additional tractor models, combines and implements with the Selected badge. "Selected by Case IH" tractors will be available exclusively through Case IH dealers.

There's nothing like a crisis to bring people together.
With more and more retailers shuttering locations, filing for bankruptcy protection or reining in expansion plans, landlords are putting more emphasis than ever on doing what they can to keep a grip on existing tenants — especially those that are candidates for shutting down.
Proactive landlords are not just offering rent reductions — a common request from troubled retailers — but they also point to increasing marketing efforts, speeding through renovations and doing whatever they can to keep traffic up. They are doing this, in some cases, even before there's a sign that a tenant may need help.
"We have to recognize that we're all in this together," says Joseph Coradino, president of both PREIT Services LLC and PREIT-Rubin Inc., the companies that handle leasing and redevelopment for Philadelphia-based regional mall owner Pennsylvania REIT (PREIT). "Getting through a difficult environment like this requires a partnership — that's the foundation for the discussions."
But because it requires that owners share the pain, rent relief ranks among the least appealing options on the table. As a sign of the subject's touchiness, several owners declined to discuss the matter with Retail Traffic. When asked how much relief PREIT has negotiated since the economy began going south, Coradino replies, "Too much," with a laugh.
Like most owners and managers, PREIT evaluates each request for rent relief on a case-by-case basis, examining a range of factors to determine whether the relief would aid the tenant in question or amount to throwing money at a lost cause. Such factors can include credit checks, assessment of inventory levels and more.
PREIT sizes up the performance of other tenants in the same center, Coradino says, and also scrutinizes the tenant's history in the location. "We're trying to find out if the tenant is viable. Do they have a positive track record? Have they done business consistently, and is this just a blip?" he asks.
In some cases, factors such as a recent personnel change may be behind a decline in business, rather than larger market trends. "You can tell the difference when a retailer has a good manager in place in their store," Coradino says.
An accurate assessment of a tenant's finances hinges on honesty and transparency regarding their status, says Mitch Salmon, senior vice president of New York City-based Mall Properties Inc. This can be difficult to attain, however. Larger companies can be slow to authorize sharing of financial data, Salmon says, while smaller ones are often private and may provide information that is less trustworthy.
"You really have to understand how they go about getting their merchandise," Salmon says. "That's a very important component." Also significant is a tenant's standing with lenders. Those unable to borrow "are not worth negotiating with," he says.
Landlords confronted with the possible loss of a big-box tenant — the "Linens 'n Things of the world," as Salmon says — may face an especially dicey situation. Replacing such tenants presents a challenge because relatively few retailers are able to occupy such large spaces. And losing one can start a landlord down a "slippery slope," with neighboring tenants taking a hit after the big anchor drifts away, Salmon says.
Furthermore, by not doing anything to help a potentially troubled tenant, owners leave themselves open to "midnight moves" — that is, when a tenant takes matters into their own hands and disappears without warning in the dark of night. Big national tenants rarely do this sort of thing. But regional and local mom-and-pop retailers do sometimes do this to escape leases. Columbia, S.C.-based Edens & Avant, for example, says it has lost a handful of tenants in midnight moves earlier this year in Florida, a state hit particularly hard by the subprime mortgage collapse. But such moves have since declined, according to the company.
The most appealing option
An owner's past relationship with a tenant can bear on decisions regarding rent relief, as well as the tenant's line of business and its standing in the current market. Edens & Avant shies away from reducing rent for tenants whose fortunes are tied to the housing market, such as mortgage brokerages, says CEO Terry Brown.
Hardware or home furnishing stores likewise are less likely candidates for relief in the current economic environment, Brown says. Meanwhile, restaurants with strong track records at Edens & Avant properties stand out as better qualified for aid, he says. Some may be struggling as consumers eat out less because of inflation in food and gas prices. But that trend may turn around and, when it does, it is beneficial to have proven operators already in place.
North Plainfield, N.J.-based Levin Management Corp. assigns rent relief requests to an internal committee established even prior to the recent economic downturn. This committee includes leasing agents, property managers — who are valued for their close relationships with tenants — and other stakeholders, says Matt Harding, president. The committee asks the tenant for sales information, reviews the situation and recommends action to the corporation's senior management. The company generally grants relief over a yearlong term, reducing rates by as much as 15 percent during that time.
For a landlord entertaining a request for relief, deferring rent payments is the most desirable resolution, as it extends a guarantee that the discounted rent will be recovered in the future.
Levin has granted relief to four or five tenants this year, Harding says. That's more than in recent years when retail was humming and virtually no one needed relief. To put it in perspective, however, those tenants represent just a tiny fraction of the more than 1,000 tenants within Levin's portfolio of centers in Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina.
Besides outright rent reductions, there are other ways landlords can lessen a tenant's financial burden. For example, owners and managers can give tenants leeway by easing payments on common area maintenance (CAM) charges. These fees can vary market by market depending on factors such as the climate, whether the center is open-air or enclosed and what sorts of services and maintenance is required. Regardless of the costs at a specific center, Levin will work with tenants to soften the effect of high CAM costs by allowing tenants with strong payment histories to pay fees over several months, rather than in a single lump sum.
If financial assistance isn't enough, landlords can consider a more drastic option in helping tenants. For some stores, it might be appropriate to allow them to subdivide their space to bring in a joint tenant, according to Mall Properties' Salmon. Few retailers qualify for this option, however. "Very often, you find yourself in a position of all or nothing, unless you're dealing with a very large tenant who has a lot of frontage," Salmon says.
Valets and "ambassadors"
Other strategies landlords can adopt to help tenants through hard times amount to simply doing more of what they always do: drawing shoppers with promotions, site improvements and special events. When the economy suffers, these efforts may take on added importance.
Owners cite upkeep and redevelopment as priorities, such as renovating facades, improving lighting and enhancing landscaping in common areas. Some are finding new uses for these common areas to draw shoppers. PREIT has renovated Voorhees Town Center in Voorhees, N.J., formerly Echelon Mall, by demolishing half the site and replacing it with a mixed-use "town center." The new site features a dog park as an added draw for foot traffic.
Phoenix-based Vestar, meanwhile, has launched a series of weekly concerts to draw more shoppers to its properties, featuring harp music, acoustic performers, alternative acts and tie-ins with Radio Disney.
Vestar promotes the events on its Web sites, with signage throughout its properties and via print and radio media partners, says Denise Hart, vice president of marketing. "We've been extremely successful with them — they bring a huge amount of traffic and garner a lot of media attention," she says. "It's exciting." Vestar has also turned temporary spaces into art galleries to increase traffic.
Levin Management has screened outdoor movies at its centers and tried out other promotions as well. The company capitalized on another economic crunch — rising fuel prices — by giving away gas cards at Capitol Plaza in Ewing, N.J.
To increase traffic and keep centers busier at night, Levin has sought to build restaurants and add pad sites to properties. Municipalities have proven supportive of pad-site development and have reduced parking requirements to aid the growth, says Harding of Levin Management.
Similarly, the opening of a host of new restaurants at PREIT's Plymouth Meeting Mall — P.F. Chang's, Redstone Grill, Dave and Buster's and California Pizza Kitchen — spurred a promotional campaign financed by the owner and aimed at nearby office workers, who received offers of discounts and freebies.
"We'll do the same sort of thing for tenants who are struggling," PREIT's Coradino says. "We're focused on trying to find ways to drive traffic and sales to retailers that are going through a difficult time." Another promotional campaign focused on an Irish pub, where the owner targeted male visitors in an attempt to bring them to the bar for Monday night football showings.
Visitors to Plymouth Meeting will notice a few other gambits PREIT has deployed, such as its new valet-parking program. Valets recently parked 500 cars in a week, including a Ferrari and a Maserati — which suggests to Coradino that the program is achieving its goal of drawing customers with money to spend at the mall's retail outlets.
"It's our first-ever," he says of the program. "That's driving the right kind of customer to the property."
After leaving their cars in a valet's care, Plymouth Meeting shoppers who stop to study a mall directory might find themselves approached by security guards. Not to worry — the guards have been retrained for double duty as friendly "ambassadors." PREIT now pays more for what Coradino calls a "higher caliber" of security guards, who are trained to help shoppers who need directions or are lugging around heavy loads of packages.
"Our business has really changed dramatically," Coradino says of his company's efforts. "We've got to really step outside the box and be more than just a place to shop."

One of the cooler items shown today I think is this set. The Felucian is simply fantastic, and I hope he gets a general release figure int he basic line at some point to army build him a bit.The Rancor looks pretty great too... Very much anticipating this piece!
Is that a blue jaw-bone type weapon that the Felucian warrior comes with? That would be kinda cool if everything about them was organic, even their weapons.
I don't really like the design of the warrior too much... not Hasbro's fault though.

Huck Finn's Friend Tom Sawyer and His Adventures
Lest we forget, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) predates Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884, London ed.) and it is where Huck Finn had his beginnings as Tom's friend. While the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library proudly houses the manuscript of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, George University Library keeps The Adventures of Tom Sawyer manuscript. The current exhibit pays tribute to Tom showcasing a facsimile of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer manuscript, a copy of the first American edition illustrated by True Williams, a copy of the earlier and un-illustrated first Canadian edition and select foreign language editions of the Twain novel.

Welcome to the Rumour mill, VideoGamer.com's run-down of the big rumours currently doing the rounds in the video game industry. Every week we'll hunt down the juiciest stories and give our opinion on how legit they are. So, whether you want the ridiculous or the plausible, read on.
HD DVD Xbox 360 canned at last minute
The Rumour: Rumours leading up to this week's CES show in Las Vegas suggested that Bill Gates would use his keynote speech to announce a new HD DVD equipped Xbox 360. Due to Warner announcing it would release movies only on Blu-ray from June Microsoft scrapped its plans at the last minute.
Verdict: The internet is often the cause of unwarranted hype. In this case the truth is probably somewhere between what happened (nothing) and what was rumoured. Microsoft had probably planned to discuss HD DVD but perhaps not a new Xbox 360.
Plausibility rating: 2/5
Halo: Chronicles demo with Halo Wars
The Rumour: Regular rumour source Surfer Girl claims that this year's Xbox 360 exclusive RTS will ship with a demo for the Peter Jackson and Wingnut Interactive's Halo: Chronicles.
Verdict: Halo Wars is expected to do good business given the popularity of the Halo brand, but an RTS isn't guaranteed to sell well on a console. Microsoft isn't new to the idea of bolstering the appeal of a game with an included extra. Crackdown most certainly benefited from the inclusion of the Halo 3 multiplayer beta.
Plausibility rating: 3/5
Xbox 720 already in development
The Rumour: Leading US magazine EGM stated that a game for the Xbox 360's successor is already in development, only two years into the console's life.
Verdict: This rumour was bound to crop up sooner or later, followed by the inevitable cry from gamers that Microsoft is going to kill the Xbox 360 too soon. We don't doubt that a game is in development, but it's likely to be at a very early prototype stage. The very best current-gen games take upwards of two years to create, so including the research required when developing on a new platform we'd bank on no Xbox 720 games being released for at least three more years.
Plausibility rating: 5/5
Starship Troopers style PS3 MMO from NCsoft
The Rumour: A new MMO from NCsoft Europe is in development and it'll be the first game to come from the studio for the PlayStation 3.
Verdict: NCsoft Europe is hiring and has uploaded a decent smattering of concept art to its website. We're also expecting some news to break next week on a new MMO. Is it for the PS3? We're not sure.
Plausibility rating: 3/5

NEW YORK (AP) — Leslie Dach, who played an influential role in reinventing the image of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in the face of mounting attacks by labor groups and other critics, is leaving the company in June after seven years.
The world's largest retailer said Friday it has a search under way for Dach's replacement.
Dach, 58, joined Wal-Mart in August 2006 as executive vice president of corporate affairs, a newly created position. He came on board amid mounting anti-Wal-Mart attacks that ranged from complaints about the company's treatment of its workers to its need to address its impact on the environment.
The company's stock fell 20 percent from early 2005 to an eight-year low of $42 two years later. It is now just above $73 and has gained 22 percent in the past year.
During Dach's tenure, the Bentonville, Ark.-based discounter launched a number of sweeping initiatives. Those included working with major suppliers to reduce packaging, and making its food healthier by embracing steps to lower salt, fats and sugars. More recent initiatives include boosting sourcing of U.S. products by $50 billion over the next decade. Wal-Mart has also launched a program to help empower female factory workers in India, Bangladesh, China and Central America.
Many of the initiatives have not only helped improve Wal-Mart's reputation but have also been good business decisions. But Wal-Mart is still grappling with criticism over its treatment of its workers. And it's facing allegations of bribery in its Mexico operations, which surfaced last April. Wal-Mart has launched its own internal investigation and is working with government officials in the U.S. and Mexico
In an email sent Friday to Wal-Mart employees, Mike Duke, Wal-Mart's president and CEO, wrote, "Leslie has played a pivotal role in helping to understand the broader role Wal-Mart can play in meeting the major challenges facing society today, and social goals are now an integral part of how we run our business. He has challenged us to think big, and, under his leadership, we have broken new ground in areas like sustainability, women's economic empowerment and hunger and nutrition."
In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Dach, who has been commuting between Wal-Mart's headquarters and his home in Washington, D.C., nearly every week, said that it was his decision to leave and that he approached Duke a few months ago about his intentions. He noted Duke wanted him to stay on for a few months to help with the transition. He says he's unsure of his plans right now but is hoping to take on a similar challenge.
"There isn't a perfect time to leave a really good job," he said. But he added that it seemed like the right time to "close this chapter."
"We demonstrated the ability to make a difference on issues that people care about," he said.
Before joining Wal-Mart, Dach was vice chairman of Edelman, a major global communications firm, where he led the Washington office, the company's research, advertising and corporate social responsibility consulting divisions and its global affairs, crisis, technology and health care practices. Dach also had been active as a strategist in Democratic politics and worked in a number of presidential campaigns. He also served in President Bill Clinton's administration.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Law enforcement officials are investigating threats made against U.S. Senator Ted Cruz on Twitter last week, police said on Sunday.
U.S. Capitol Hill Police and the FBI are looking into series posts made against the Texas Republican by a person identifying himself as Troy Gilmore Jr., who used the Twitter handle @ArmyVet54 and described himself as a military veteran.
"Take down Ted Cruz, at his home," read one post. Another post said, "What goes around comes around CRUZ!!"
Many of the messages were posted while Congress was negotiating to raise the nation's borrowing authority and to find a way to reopen the government after a two-week shutdown.
Cruz, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, has been a leading critic of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law which was a focal point of the fiscal fight in Congress.
"It's an active investigation," said Officer Shennell Antrobus, a spokesman for the Capitol Police. He declined to elaborate on the credibility of the threats.
It is often routine policy for authorities to look into potential threats that are made on social media sites and directed at members of Congress.
Cruz's office confirmed that they had referred the matter to the police last week.
"We're aware of the situation and have alerted the proper authorities," said Sean Rushton, a Cruz spokesman.

It is also possible it is the beef. At the very least, switch to cooked chicken and rice. Trouble had one of her worst reactions to beef when I tried her on raw. Even now, she gets no more than a bite of beef when we eat it.
Best to use an antibacterial/antifungal shampoo to minimize the itchy. If it is as bad as you indicate, chances are you won't see much change until she's been through a round of antibiotic, and maybe prednisone.
Trouble has suffered (as have we) since she was about that age. It isn't fun, but if you are persistent you will eventually find a routine that works for you.
Are dogs ever allergic to all meats? Then I also wonder about vaccinosis since she had her vaccines last week, but I don't know how all of that works either. Just when I thought I had some things figured out along comes our Leni to shake things up!!!!

Once you are on a limited hypoallergenic diet, it can take 8-12 WEEKS for you to see the full effect, if it will help. And during that trial, NOTHING ELSE CAN BE GIVEN, INCLUDING FLAVORED TREATS, FLAVORED MEDICATIONS, FLAVORED SUPPLEMENTS...NOTHING! It is extremely hard to do!
It would be rare for allergies to develop at this stage, but it does happen.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Image Gallery: Terrestrial Expedition of Timor-Leste
Misty mountains, amazing animals, spectacular sunrises and more... here are the photographic highlights from the terrestrial survey stage of the Museum's expedition to Timor-Leste.
Both the terrestrial and marine surveys will answer questions about biodiversity and provide crucial data for identifying new areas that may need to be conserved in one of the world's youngest nations.
For the terrestrial trip, eight Museum scientists split into two teams to collect specimens at selected survey sites using a variety of techniques.
Malacologist Dr Frank Kohler and entomologists Dr Dave Britton, Dr Chris Reid and Jacquie Rescei worked with local guide and translator Zito Afranio, while entomologists Dr Andrew Mitchell, Dr Dan Bickel, Jean Weiner and malacologist Vince Kessner were led by Agivedo Ribeiro.

ParaNorman Interview 2 of 3: Roundtable with Travis Knight
I recently participated in a roundtable interview of Travis Knight, lead animator for ParaNorman, the new stop motion feature from Laika. Knight went into detail on the trials and opportunities of stop motion animation, the new 3D printing technologies used in ParaNorman's production, and more. Read on for excerpts from the discussion.
Stop motion animation can be slow going. When asked how much an animator can get done in an average day, Knight had this to say:
We tend to think in weeks rather than days. On average, an animator will do about five seconds of finished footage a week. A fast animator, like me, I can do about 10 seconds of finished footage a week. Then of course you have people that are slower, but on average, it's about five seconds of footage a week. We have about 20 to 25 animators going at any given time. So we finish anywhere between one to two minutes of final footage a week. You see it takes a long time to make these things, a year and a half to two years of actual production time.
A stop motion film like ParaNorman involves many built objects besides the puppets, from sets to models to props. Some of these can be extremely small intricate, such as Norman's cell phone:
It's an insane process. Stop motion is very unique in filmmaking in that everything you see has to be completely built from the ground up. When we start one of these things, nothing exists. Everything has to be designed and then built, and then manipulated by hand to bring it to life. You can't go into a prop shop and get a cell phone or anything else, you've got to build it.
So [Norman's cell phone] is probably about as big as my pinky fingernail. It's very, very small, and it has lights inside it. So when he holds his phone and hits a button with his finger and a light comes on, there actually is a practical light inside the phone, with a wire that's kind of hidden in his sleeve that then goes under the set and is controlled by a rheostat which will bring the light up when he hits the button.
Then for things like closeups of hands, which is one of the things that really don't hold up well in closeups on one of these films, because those hands are so small, we usually do a double scale version of the hero's hands. And for the closeup of the phone, it's still small, but he had a bigger phone so you could actually see the type on his phone on that closeup in the movie.
Pretty much everything you see for the most part on screen is something that has been built. We have a series of shots in the film, it's an electronics store, where we see a bunch of TVs. Those TVs are actually functioning. They have little cell phone screens. That's what they are. We work in a very strange scale.
On why not to simply use double scale on everything:
If you do a double sized puppet, you got to do a double scale set. Then you'd never be able to do it all. So you try to come up with a scale that generally works for the most part with everything. Then there's only a handful of times where you have to do something that's a little bit bigger. Norman, he's about nine and half inches tall with his little spikes on his hair. That's about the perfect size for your hero puppet if he's a kid. Then of course there are characters that are smaller. You get too much smaller, and you can't get the kind of nuance you want out of them. You go too big, and they're just too unruly, you can't control them easily. So that's about the perfect size for a puppet.
The puppet for Prenderghast, Norman's eccentric uncle, was particularly difficult to animate:
He's a nightmare. He's a big block. There are inherent limitations to the medium. There are things that are very difficult to do: Things like car chases, big environmental effects, big crowds, and those sorts of things. There's also design things. It's hard to do big bulky characters and actually have them have a performance so they're not really stiff and stilted.
He's supposed to be this big demonstrative guy, and it's a big block. It's like, "How do you get that to move?" We went through a long process of R&D to figure out what materials we could use, how we could lighten him up, what sorts of silicone we could use that would handle that kind of movement. So it took a long time to figure that out, but when we did, it was a huge breakthrough.
We just didn't want the limitations that exist in the medium to get in the way of the designs that we wanted and the performances that we wanted. So we just didn't let it. We just fought through it.
Different shots can vary widely in difficulty, and can suddenly become much more difficult than expected:
We did this whole sequence with dirt flying everywhere. It was awful. All those little tiny bits of dirt that you see have to be held on the set by little bug pins or wires. I was poking my fingers constantly and I was bleeding everywhere. It was horrible.
Then I got to this shot, and it was just a closeup of a zombie shaking his head, and I was like, "Oh thank God. No more stuff flying around." I'm sitting in the editorial bay with Chris (Chris Butler, Writer/Director on ParaNorman), and he's like, "Hey, what if when he's shaking his head, what if a bunch of saliva comes out?" So we went in there, and it's little pieces of silicone or dried hot glue, and they're like the size of a pin. So he's shaking his head and the stuff is flying out, and it's really tricky to keep track of that stuff. You bump one thing with your pinky, and you got to start all over. But when you see it, it really sells the idea that this is a disgusting creature with slavering crap all over the place.
Knight had this to say about his opportunities as an animator in stop motion to add to the creative process during production:
A lot of it is the character moments, the personalities that evolve out of these characters. Stop motion is really interesting, because even though you wouldn't think that it is, it's actually very spontaneous. It has kind of an improvisational quality, because you'll get out on set, you'll have the whole shot planned out, you think know exactly what you want to do, but these are physical things, and sometimes they don't do what you want them to do. So sometimes it can be a battle of steel and sinew. You want it to move this way and it simply won't move that way, so you got to think about it, "Alright, what am I going to do?", and you got to come up with something new.
That is one of the things that I love about stop motion, is that these happy little accidents that occur along the way that you just have to roll with whatever limitations that you have with the puppet, whether there's a set piece in the way or there's a camera in the way, or there's a big light thing, you've got to be able change all those plans that you've come up with over the course of the shot and do something that has the same idea, the same feeling, but is a different sort of thing. That's happened countless times.
The biggest one that I can remember, not from ParaNorman, but from Coraline, was when I animated a scene where Coraline is trying to get her dad's attention in the doorway. She's swinging on the door, she's yelling at her doll, she's imitating her mother. Those are the sort of things that I've seen with my own kids. In the moment, I just incorporated that into the shot. Sometimes that can be a risk, because if the director doesn't like it, you got to go back and do it again. But sometimes, you just go with what you're feeling. That felt right for the moment. Then if it works, it's a magical thing.
3D printing is a relatively young technology that is used in precision manufacturing and rapid prototyping. This technology has been making its way into the film industry, and Laika is at the forefront:
We've all seen sci-fi films about machines becoming self aware and taking over the world. When that happens, they will use this technology to build cybernetic enforcers. The streets will be littered with human remains.
It's insane. It shouldn't exist. We have the computer, that sends some kind of crazy signal to this machine, which is just a giant printer basically, and it lays down really thin layers, as small as a human hair, over and over and over again. Imagine an ink jet printer that lays down a sentence of type or a graphic image. Now imagine that same ink jet printer going over the same spot over and over again, laying down material until it builds up an object. That's effectively what happens here. We print out dozens of these faces at any given time. The thing we did on Coraline, where we printed in resin, which is basically this kind of gray plastic material, we had to hand paint all the different colors and textures on the face. That limited how far we could push those designs. With this film, we integrated a color 3D printer, which allows us to infuse the face with color, textures, which allows us to take the design to places we hadn't been before. For example, Coraline had I think 10 freckles on her face. Neil has thousands. It just gives the characters a verisimilitude that we couldn't get any other way.
And we printed this powdery material that we then coat with with a super glue, which makes it hard, but it also allows light to seep into the powder, which gives it a more skin like quality. There's a moment where Norman is backlit by the setting sun, and you can actually see his ears glow, just like a person's ears would glow. That's one of the byproducts of using these materials, is the skin ends up absorbing light in a very natural way.
But it is a crazy process. I apologize in advance for our role in the end. It's our fault, I'm sorry. Enjoy the entertainment, but we're all going to die.
Unlike most visual effects heavy films today, ParaNorman uses digital effects sparingly, instead employing practical, in camera effects wherever possible. Knight offered a few thoughts on the why's and how's of Laika's methodology in this regard:
You want the film to have a unified look and sensibility. The best way to do that is to use the same process every single time, to do as much in camera, as much practically as you possibly can, and that is what we try to do. But we're not purists just for the sake of being purists. If there's a better way to do somethings, we will. If there's a more efficient and more effective way to do something, we will do it that way. It is one of the things that guides our filmmaking philosophy. We'll use whatever tool makes the most sense, which is why our films have stop motion, puppet stuff, it's got stage stuff, it's got hand drawn animation integrated into that, it's got CG and technology integrated into that. It's just whatever makes the most sense. We could've done all the faces using the old method of sculpting them or carving them, but it would have had limited expressivity. We thought, "Well let's just take that whole replacement idea and we'll bring that into the digital age. We'll do that stuff on a computer, print it out with this insane bit of technology. Then all the sudden, these characters will have much greater expressivity. We'll be able to get more nuance, more refinement out of their facial performances."
We take it on a case by case basis. Some things are just really tricky to do...It's almost impossible to do effective clouds and stuff roiling around. So what we would do, where we wanted it to feel like it was in the same environment, we made what we called a tu-tu tornado, which is a bunch bridal veil bunched up on a spinner. We made it out on set and photographed it from all different angles, spun it around, gave that as reference to our visual effects team. Then they made that in the computer, but it was based on something that we actually physically made on set.
For things like that, it's just better done in the computer. Because we have our own in house visual effects team, we're working side by side. It's a great combination of luddites and technophiles working together.
By having the physical reference, we're able to make those things feel like their the same environment, like they're integrated.
The process of creating the final performance of the characters seen on screen is a long distance, absentee collaboration between the voice actor and the animator(s) for any given character. Knight outlines the process as such:
The process for developing characters happens early on when we just have armatures, where you're trying to figure out how these characters move. You don't want an 11 year old boy moving the same way as a 60 year old man. So you start to define how these characters will move and give them their own personalities. That happens absent of any vocal performance.
It goes on to that next stage when the actors do their lines. We don't shoot any shot until we have that stuff recorded. That becomes the foundation for what the animator does. It's a strange collaboration that I think the actor doesn't even know they're even collaborating on, because they'll record their lines, and months or even a year later, the animator will get that scene, and the vocal performance becomes the foundation for the physical performance that the animator brings. So you'll listen to that line over and over and over again, trying to pick up on the nuance and the inflexion the actor brings to it.
We were fortunate to have incredible actors on this movie who brought so much rich material. Sometimes you're struggling to draw anything out of one of those vocal performances. These guys are fantastic. This is the best group of actors we've ever worked with. There was just so much stuff you could do with that that it just allowed us to go on a lot of different avenues as animators.
Before we start animating any shot, we'll previsualize it in the computer at a workstation. The stop motion animator will work with some facial animators. He'll go through the entire shot, going through, listening to all the different changes in the voice, and you build kits based on all those faces that we sculpted on the computer. Then the animator will get a little tray of faces and a little sheet with the numbers of the faces corresponding to the frame that their working on. When you get to frame 58, you put on face XY3, and then there you go. It's all defined. But we try to give a little bit of padding on each side of those faces that we give to the animators. So if in the moment it doesn't feel right, you can go in and change things up, which happens all the time. Even with all the planning, it just doesn't quite look right or feel right when you're out there on set.
Lastly, Knight had this to say about the overall message of the film:
I think the main idea is that conformity does not beget greatness. Those things which often push us to the fringe of our communities or society, those things that make us weird or strange, are also those things that allow you to contribute something special, something unique to the world. I think that we've all gone through those moments in our lives where we've felt like we don't fit in. This movie explores that and is a reminder that sometimes fitting in is not the best thing.
ParaNorman opens nationwide on August 17th.

My Messed Up Meteorological Clock
I'm not complaining. Let's just be clear about that.
But the weather here is crazy. Maybe even KraZeE.
58 degrees one day, low 80's the next. I've never been in such polarizing weather.
Jackets, coats and boots one day. Skirts, T's and sandals the next.
Saturday we did sprinklers!
And if that's not enough, all the Fall leaves we missed in October finally made their appearance.
In March.
This was yesterday.
But remember...I'm not complaining.

It looks like those may well be live oak leaves. We have a live oak in our backyard, and interestingly enough, they drop their leaves in the spring! Wow, that is some pile you have there. The expression on Lamp's face is priceless as she is covered in that sea of leaves. It was soooo windy here in North Texas yesterday. I hope the gales missed you!ReplyDelete
I cant get over Lamps expression in the leaf pile! :) She is so cute.ReplyDelete
Her sissy is adorable as well! :)
Sounds like the weather in Texas is very similar to Arizona. Yesterday, we had mid 80's and today it's overcast, windy and in the 60's!ReplyDelete
Love the Lamp-in-the-leaves pic. :)
We're leaving for Austin tomorrow morning and I am packed for varying degrees of weather--all according to weather.com We go every year for SXSW and my sons band has been invited to play for the 3rd year now (he's a film editor in NYC). Here in Seattle, today, it's bright and sunny and warmer than it gets on a summer day.ReplyDelete

Police, firefighters take kids on shopping spree
Police, firefighters take kids on shopping spree
BELLEVUE, Neb. —
Officers and firefighters took dozens of children shopping, giving each of them $100 to buy anything they needed and wanted for Christmas.
The shopping spree was made possible with money donated as part of the Holiday Heroes program. Businesses and people throughout Bellevue donated about $10,000.
"I think it's awesome. It's almost a godsend because I didn't know what we were going to do for them for Christmas," said parent Tom Flecter.
"It's like seeing the excitement in their eyes. That's what I enjoy the most about this," said Ed Foreman of the Bellevue police.
The kids went home with a little something to put under the tree and everyone left with a big reminder about what the holidays are all about.

This author is synonymous with bestsellers, and this new novel offers even more proof as to why he's so successful.
Beginning in the year 1922, Gavin Daly is sleeping peacefully in his room when a group of men break in, kill his mother, kidnap his father, and scare Gavin and his sister Aileen to death. The men do not offer to kill the children; they simply take their father and blend into the night, leaving them to stare at the corpse of their mother and attempt to understand what just happened to their loving family.
The children's aunt takes Gavin and Aileen to live in Ireland. But before the ship leaves the dock, a young man gives Gavin a package that contains a newspaper article about the murder/kidnapping that includes information on how Gavin's father was about to be named the boss of the White Hand Gang. In addition to the paper, his father's watch is in the package with a strange list of names and numbers. As the ship sets sail and Ireland awaits, the young Gavin vows to come back one day and find out what really happened.
At the age of ninety-five, Gavin Daly has become a rich man buying and selling antiques. Unfortunately, in his many years, he was unable to discover the truth behind the tragedy. Aileen had been the bearer of their father's watch and is found tortured and tied up; her house completely vandalized with many antiques stolen, including the timepiece.
Enter Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, who's put in charge of the odd case and is trying to deal with Gavin who's beyond enraged at the death of his sister. Using his power, might and millions, Daly begins his own investigation trying to track down the culprits right along with the Detective who's desperately trying to do his job.
Spanning decades and countries, the characters and plot are both complex and extremely riveting. Yet again, another Peter James' masterpiece.
Until Next Time, Everybody,
Amy Lignor

Top-ranked Serena Williams had little trouble joining sister Venus, in the Dubai Championships semifinals on Thursday.
Serena, playing her first tournament since a fourth-round loss at the Australian Open, had little trouble bypassing fifth-seeded Jelena Jankovic of Serbia 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.
The only blip in Williams' game came when she lost serve in a tentatively played fifth game in the first set.
"She was the better player tonight," Jankovic said. "Way better.
"I just played a bad match on my terms."
The only drama in the 76-minute match came in the final game with Jankovic serving.
The umpire, Kader Nouni of France, told Jankovic she was serving too fast and then too slow, when taking more than the 25 seconds allotted.
Williams was briefly brought into the fray when Jankovic made note that Williams often took more than the 25 seconds allowed to serve.
After the match, the players conversed at the net and both reported they left the court on good terms.
"I told her at the end, 'Look, I didn't mean anything. I'm sorry if I played slow,'" Williams said. "She was like, 'No, it was more like they say (I) play too fast and then too slow.' She said she couldn't get it right.
"I was like, 'Look, are we cool because I'm cool with you?'"
In that final game, Jankovic initially rebounded from love-40 before Williams won on a fourth match point with a scorching forehand passing shot.
Williams will play Alize Cornet of France in the semifinals. Cornet scored a 7-5, 6-3 win over Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain.
Venus Williams reached her fourth Dubai semifinal with a 6-3, 7-5 win over qualifier Flavia Pennetta of Italy.
Williams, who won this title in 2009 and 2010, had to serve for the match twice in the second set.
"She just keeps fighting," Williams said of Pennetta. "She stays relevant. That's what she does really well. I have to give her credit for that."
Serving at 5-4 in the second set, Williams missed out on a match point when Pennetta hit a forehand crosscourt winner to bring the score to deuce. Four points later and Pennetta broke serve to even the score at 5-5.
After Pennetta dropped serve in the 11th game Williams had a second chance to close out the match. Initially, Williams fell behind 0-40. On a second match point Pennetta popped a return long to concede the win.
Williams will play eighth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, the 2011 Dubai champion, in Friday's semifinals.
Wozniacki had little trouble dispatching 27th-ranked Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-1, 6-2.
"That was really pleasing, and I always know that Sorana can be a tricky opponent," Wozniacki said. "I felt like I served well and I put the pressure on her and played the way I wanted to play today."
Although not guaranteed, Venus Williams wasn't opposed to thinking ahead to the possibility of an all-Williams final on Saturday.
"It would be fantastic," Venus said. "But we both have to get there."
