When it comes to award shows, the gowns get all the televised glory. The bags that are carried with them are generally tiny, of course, and perhaps the public at large isn't as obsessed with the details of a tiny evening bag as we are. That's their choice, even if I don't necessarily support or understand it. For everyone else (meaning all of you guys), I've done the brave work of identifying as many clutches that traveled the red carpet at Sunday night's 2013 Golden Globes as humanly possible.
From the traditional glamour of Roger Vivier on cohost Tina Fey to the futuristic look of nearly naked Jennifer Lopez's Jimmy Choo, the itty bitty bags were more interesting than perhaps you realized from your couch. Check out our slideshow for all of the requisite close-ups alongside the actresses' full looks.
We'll start, of course, with the hosts. I loved Amy Poehler's arrival ensemble, which included a very "Le Smoking" Stella McCartney lady tux, accented with the art deco loveliness of this Judith Leiber Streamline Minaudiere. Shop Judith Leiber via Neiman Marcus.
The other half of Sunday night's hosting duo was, of course, the inimitable Tina Fey. Her arrival ensemble was a L'Wren Scott dress paired with a classic Roger Vivier Pilgrim Clutch. Shop Roger Vivier via MyTheresa.
Actress Kristen Bell, who is pregnant with her first child, also chose a Roger Vivier Pilgrim Clutch to match her pastel Jenny Packham gown. Shop Roger Vivier via MyTheresa.
At times, it seemed like Roger Vivier's entire evening bag oeuvre was on display on the red carpet. Jessica Alba chose a fluffy Roger Vivier Pochette Prisme Poodle Clutch to match her Oscar de la Renta ball gown. Shop Roger Vivier via MyTheresa.
The Roger Vivier Boite de Nuit Clutch is another of Vivier's red carpet standbys - Kristen Wiig paired hers with a modern Michael Kors number. Shop Roger Vivier via MyTheresa.
Kate Hudson, dressed in dramatic Alexander McQueen, carried the same Roger Vivier Boite de Nuit as Wiig.
Not everyone carried Vivier, though; there was also plenty of Judith Leiber. Helen Mirren accented her Badgley Mischka gown with a Judith Leiber Aurelie Crocodile Clutch. You can have one of your own for $7,995 via Neiman Marcus.
Many stars also chose to stick with their dress designers for their accessories. Julianne Moore, for example, carried a Tom Ford Embossed Minaudiere with her custom Tom Ford gown. Pick up a gold Tom Ford Minaudiere for $2,700 via Neiman Marcus.
Kerry Washington went with the quasi-brand match; her clutch is a Prada Silk Minaudiere, while her dress came from little sister brand Miu Miu. Shop Prada via Neiman Marcus.
You can always count on Helena Bonham Carter for cheeky red carpet accessories choices, and her Lulu Guinness Lips Clutch fits her personality to a T. You can have a lips clutch of your very own for $465 via Lulu Guinness.
Speaking of odd handbag choices, Alyssa Milano chose a Thale Blanc Adrianne Clutch with a rather large bedazzled leopard head on it. It can be yours for $1,815 via Thale Blanc.
Like Alyssa Milano, Katharine McPhee didn't go with an obvious brand - she chose the Oroton Society Clutch to go along with her Theyskens' Theory dress. Shop this Australian brand via Oroton.com.
On Sunday night, I learned one thing: If you see a sleek, perfectly proportioned, understated box clutch on the red carpet, it's probably made by Salvatore Ferragamo. Winner Jennifer Lawrence was one of many stars who chose his evening bags for the occasion. She paired hers with Christian Dior Haute Couture. Shop Ferragamo via Neiman Marcus.
Megan Fox carried a Salvatore Ferragamo Minaudiere to provide a bit of color to her Dolce & Gabbana dress. Shop Salvatore Ferragamo bags via Neiman Marcus.
Red carpet host Ryan Seacrest's main squeeze Julianne Hough played up her manicure with a Salvatore Ferragamo Melina Clutch. The exact same clutch is $2,500 via Zappos Couture.
Speaking of color, Hayden Panettiere chose a pink snakeskin Kotur Espey Box Clutch to bring out the pink undertones in her Roberto Cavalli gown. Get a similar metal Morley version for $395 via Net-a-Porter.
Ladies who want to add a bit of modernity to their red carpet ensembles would be wise to look to Jimmy Choo - Rachel Weisz carried an acrylic Jimmy Choo Candy Clutch to accent her Louis Vuitton look. Pick up the glittery silver version for $650 via Jimmy Choo.
If you could pull your eyes away from Jennifer Lopez's seemingly painted-on Zuhair Murad dress, then you might have noticed her mirrored silver Jimmy Choo Cosma Clutch. Pick up a colorful version for $1,595.

USGS Geology in the ParksWelcome! From the swirling sands of Mojave National Preserve's Kelso Dunes to the brief, fiery growth of Sunset Crater Volcano, our National Parks preserve the showcases of our nations rich geological heritage. We invite you to explore a few of these very special places with us.
About this siteThis new site is produced as a collaborative effort of the US Geological Survey and National Park Service. We are adding, updating, and expanding weekly. Provisional pages that are under review are posted with an UNDER CONSTRUCTION banner.
Our presentation is structured to inform and entice virtual and future park visitors with a non-technical approach to geology. We hope that everyone from middle-school age and up will find something of interest. Information is presented at a variety of technical levels. All of our 'entry' pages including the first page of any topic, including field trip stops, is presented at the most basic level. If you're interested in more detail, simply work your way through each site and you'll find that our presentation becomes increasingly specialized and uses more technical language. We have also included lots of material specifically aimed at park interpreters and educators.
Most scientific terms are highlighted as links. Clicking on the term will take you to our glossary or other page that explains the term or concept. The glossary provides simplified definitions for technical terms. Many terms also have their own 'more details' links to pages with illustrations and/or more information.
We have organized our pages into two categories, general geology topics and individual parks. As you can see by browsing through some of the buttons to the right, there are several sites that cover the basics: plate tectonics, rocks and minerals, and the like. These offer the key introductory information you need to get started.
Several sites are dedicated to the unique geologic history and resources of specific parks. When you visit these sites, you'll notice that their style and content varies. Each of these sites is jointly developed by park interpreters and USGS staff, therefore each one reflects the unique visitor make-up, resources, and of course, personality of that park and its staff.
For the 'experts' we are developing technical resource pages for each park that includes a list of geologic and topographic maps, technical literature citations, and other pertinent information for geology aficionados.
You'll also find education resource pages for several parks. These will eventually include interpreters geology manuals, field trip guides, lessons, and any other materials of use to educators and NPS interpreters.

Portland Community College
Students in new PCC law library
Paralegals provide critical and integral support to lawyers, corporations, public institutions and other employers, and they have established themselves to be an indispensable workforce within the legal system since the 1960s. Paralegals must perform all tasks under the supervision of a lawyer. Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public except as permitted by law.
Different categories of paralegals offer specialized skills. A probate paralegal may interview clients while conducting the collection, valuing and transfer of assets. A corporate paralegal working within a large corporation may help write employee benefit plans, employment handbooks, agreements, or perform patent and trademark searches, and assist in intellectual property issues. A family paralegal may have a significant role maintaining client contact and helping clients sort through legal issues. A litigation paralegal plays an important role in case management up to and including trial. Whatever the role, the paralegal provides an integral part of the legal team. PCC's Paralegal program offers a high quality education, providing you with the fundamental skills you need to succeed in today's world of paralegal professionals.
Degrees and Certificates
PCC offers the following two program options in Paralegal Studies. Please follow the enrollment steps for admission.
Associate of Applied Science Degree
90 credit degree program, including 24 hours of required paralegal courses; 21 credit hours of elective paralegal courses; 27 credits of general education courses; and 18 credits of other electives. The Associate Degree Paralegal program is an open-enrollment program. The primary prerequisite is a college level writing class (Wr 121), which is met by students who have a previous 4 year (and most 2 year) degrees. Advising and career development counseling is offered by the full-time faculty and career services department, providing students an opportunity to develop their careers in directions suited to their needs and interests.
45 credit certificate program, including 24 credit hours of required paralegal courses and 21 credit hours of elective paralegal courses. The Certificate program is a limited-entry program requiring Department Chair approval to enter. Please see the Certificate Guidelines for more information.
While in the program, students must maintain a C average in all required courses.
New Program Developments
The Paralegal Program remains active and current by conducting surveys of potential employers, graduates of the program, current students and faculty to obtain feedback. Through consultation with the Program's Advisory Council, program developments are implemented which enhance the student's educational and career development experience, such as:
- New courses
- Law library installed at Cascade campus during summer, 2006
- Student-run paralegal club
- Supplemental programs
The program works to maintain links with local law firms and corporations to ensure information about job openings, training needs and professional developments.

Rob Brandenberg scored 18 points in his final home game for VCU, and the Rams used a 15-5 second-half run to finally put away St. Bonaventure for an 86-67 victory Saturday night at Siegel Center.
Fellow senior Juvonte Reddic added 13 points and 14 rebounds and Treveon Graham scored 18 for VCU (24-7, 12-4 Atlantic 10), which finished the season 15-0 at home and has won 20 in a row at the Siegel Center.
Matthew Wright scored 21 to lead the Bonnies (16-14, 6-10), who lost their fourth straight.
St. Bonaventure used a 10-2 run to get within 60-54 with 9:05 to play, but Brandenberg started the game-clinching burst with a jumper from the free-throw line, and Graham followed a turnover with a 3-pointer.
The Bonnies turned the ball over 24 times, leading to 31 points for the Rams.
The Rams will either be the second or third seed in the A-10 tournament in Brooklyn, N.Y., next week.
Brandenberg and Reddic, who will play in the NCAA tournament in all four years of their careers, were removed together by Coach Shaka Smart with 1:10 remaining to rousing cheers from the crowd. It was the 50th consecutive sellout, the fifth-longest streak in the country.
The game was sloppy both ways. The pace was slowed greatly by tight officiating, which saw the Bonnies whistled for 21 fouls and the Rams for 19. ...
Ovie Soko, a former Hampton Roads Academy and Bethel High player, scored 18 points and shot 8-of-13 on free throws to help Duquesne win 81-69 at George Mason.
Derrick Colter pumped in 21 points to help the Dukes (13-16, 5-11) claim the No. 10 seed in the 13-team Atlantic 10 tournament. Duquesne faces the No. 7 seed on Thursday.
The loss sent No. 12 seed George Mason (11-19, 4-12) into an opening-round game Wednesday against No. 13 Fordham.
The Dukes closed the first half with a 13-2 run, taking a nine-point lead into intermission, then opened the second half by hitting three straight, unanswered 3-pointers.
Sherrod Wright scored 25 points to lead George Mason, with Bryon Allen adding another 17 points. ...
Devin Oliver scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Dayton to a 60-48 home victory over Richmond.
Dayton (22-9, 10-6) took control midway through the first half with a 12-0 run capped by a three-point play from Kyle Davis that made it 24-10 with 4:25 to go before the break. The Flyers took a 34-19 advantage into halftime and never trailed again, finishing the regular season with three wins in a row.
The Spiders (18-13, 8-8) narrowed the gap to single digits on a Terry Allen layup that made it 52-44 with 5:40 left, but got no closer.
Kendall Anthony led Richmond with 20 points and Allen finished with 17. ...
Maurice Creek scored 24 points and forced two turnovers in the final minutes, giving George Washington a 70-67 victory at Fordham.
GW (23-7, 11-5), looking to improves its NCAA resume', led cellar-dwelling Fordham 31-29 at intermission.
Branden Frazier led the Rams with 28 points, but Fordham made only 3-of-24 3-point attempts.
NCAA Division III tournament:
All-American senior guard DJ Woodmore scored 28 points to lead Virginia Wesleyan to a 79-74 home win over Wesley, giving the Marlins their third Sweet 16 appearance in the last four years.
VWC's Sedric Nady scored 13 points, though he didn't connect on a field goal until there was 8:19 remaining. He hit a trio of late 3-pointers, including a shot that brought the near-capacity crowd to a roar with a 73-63 lead and 3:46 left.
Wesley, the Capital Athletic Conference regular-season champ, scored six points in a row to make it 77-74 with 1:56 left. Aaron Clark sank two free throws with 16 seconds left for the 79-74 final.
Virginia Wesleyan's next foe will be Mary Washington, which earned its first Sweet 16 trip, rolling past DeSales (Pa.) 77-59 in Ashland.
The Eagles (24-5) controlled the first half for a 38-15 lead and finished the game shooting 46 percent, compared to 28 percent by the Bulldogs.
DeSales, with former William and Mary point guard Scott Coval in his 21st season as coach, had beaten Randolph-Macon on the Yellow Jackets' floor the previous night.
The site and time of the VWC-UMW game will be announced Sunday.
NEC tournament:
Mount St. Mary's, coached by New Kent graduate Jamion Christian, advanced to the Northeast Conference final by beating host Wagner 77-72 at Staten Island, N.Y., and is just one victory from an NCAA tournament automatic bid.
Rashad Whack, a transfer from George Mason, scored 21 points as the No. 4 seed Mountaineers beat the second-seeded Seahawks. He hit four free throws in the final seconds to clinch the victory.
Sam Prescott and Landstown High graduate Julian Norfleet chipped in with 16 points apiece for the Mountaineers (15-16), who will await top seed Robert Morris in Tuesday's championship game in Coraopolis, Pa., near Pittsburgh. Gregory Graves contributed 12 points and seven rebounds off the bench in the win.
The Seahawks (19-12), who never led in the second half, saw their nine-game win streak end despite a game-high 26 points from Kenneth Ortiz.
Big South tournament:
Josh Cameron scored 17 points as tournament host Coastal Carolina ousted VMI 66-62 in a semifinal in Conway, S.C.
Warren Gillis added 12 points for the Chanticleers (20-12), while Badou Diagne had 11 points, 11 boards and four blocks, Tristian Curtis grabbed 13 rebounds and Elijah Wilson had 11 points.
Virginia Beach's D.J. Covington registered a double-double for VMI (19-12) with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Rodney Glasgow and Q.J. Peterson contributed 14 points apiece, with Glasgow also accounting for five of the Keydets' 10 steals.
VMI trailed by one point before Gillis made a clutch jumper with 24 seconds left. After Peterson's potentially tying 3-pointer missed, Cameron put the game out of reach with a free throw.
The Chanticleers finished with a 48-35 edge in total rebounds and advanced despite committing 16 turnovers compared to only nine by VMI.
The Chanticleers (19-12) advanced to an all-South Carolina championship game against Winthrop (20-12), which edged UNC Asheville 80-79. The champion will gain an NCAA automatic bid, though the winner will be a candidate for the First Four in Dayton, Ohio.
Winthrop's Keon Johnson scored the last five points as his team knocked off a higher seed for the second day in a row and made the final for the first time since 2010.
Johnson finished with 16 points and hit a pair of jumpers with less than 2 minutes to play, giving the Eagles an 80-77 lead. Both scores came after Asheville misses.
Twenty of Winthrop's 26 rebounds were off the defensive glass.
The Bulldogs (17-15) missed a driving layup and a putback in the final 10 seconds.
CAA tournament:
Scott Eatherton had 23 points and 15 rebounds as fifth-seeded Northeastern defeated No. 4 Drexel 90-81 on a day of Colonial Athletic Association quarterfinals at Baltimore Arena.
Zach Stahl added 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Huskies, and David Walker had 18 points for Northeastern.
Chris Fouch, a sixth-year college player, scored 30 points for the Dragons, who committed 33 fouls -- many during the late stages in an effort to stop the clock and catch up. Northeastern was 32-of-44 at the free-throw line, while Drexel was 14-of-21.
The Huskies earned a spot in Sunday's 2:30 p.m. semifinal against top-seeded Delaware, which trailed throughout the first half -- and by as many as nine points -- but gradually overcame No. 8 Hofstra 87-76.
Davon Usher led all scorers with 28 points. Jarvis Threatt added 22, Devon Saddler 15 and Kyle Anderson 12 for the Blue Hens (23-9).
Zeke Upshaw scored 23 points for the Pride (10-23), which was coming off a first-round win over UNC Wilmington on Friday night. Dion Nesmith contributed 16 points, and reserve Stephen Nwaukoni recorded 13 points and 15 rebounds.
The Blue Hens shot 64 percent from the field in the second half and were 80 percent (20-of-25) on free throws in the last 20 minutes. Threatt scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half while going 6-of-7 from the floor.
Patriot League tournament:
D.J. Irving scored 20 points and Maurice Watson Jr. had 17 assists as host Boston University defeated Army 91-70 in a Patriot League semifinal.
Malik Thomas supplied 15 points and seven rebounds and Dom Morris contributed 16 points for the top-seeded Terriers (24-9).
BU, which won its fourth game in a row, will play at home in Wednesday's championship game against American, which beat Holy Cross 57-46 in Washington.
Kyle Wilson paced Army (15-16) with 22 points and Dylan Cox had 12 points and five boards, but the Black Knights' two-game win streak ended.
For American, Jesse Reed scored 18 points for the second-seeded Eagles.
Anthony Thompson (10 points) scored eight of Holy Cross' first 12 points in the second half to boost the Crusaders' advantage to a game-high 10, but American went to a 2-3 zone. Holy Cross became flustered, going scoreless for nearly seven minutes and ending the NCAA tournament hopes of a team coached by Hampton native Milan Brown.
USCAA tournament:
Apprentice guard Johnnie Ferebee made the all-tournament team in the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association national championships in Uniontown, Pa., which Washington Adventist won.

SANDESTIN, Fla. – To say the least, the morning's 2012 Southeast Deer Study Group sessions about predation impacts on whitetail populations were eye-opening and mesmerizing.
The theme of this year's two-day conference is "The Changing Face of Predation in the Southeast." More than 400 biologists, land managers, state officials and others listened raptly in the Monday morning session. The meeting is being hosted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commision (FWC).
By Alan Clemons
Coyotes definitely are having an impact on population numbers throughout the Southeast. Presentations by Karl Miller, Steve Demaris, Michael Chamberlain, John Kilgo and others hammered home information about the rise in coyote populations since the mid-1990s, liberalized doe harvest regulations and fawn recruitment.
As noted, too, coyotes cannot be cited as the end-all factor in population impacts. Drought, habitat changes, management strategies and changes, and mortality from hunters and natural causes also play a role in whitetail numbers.
Coyotes are opportunistic and highly adaptable, taking advantage of whatever forage sources are available be they plant or animal. As Miller pointed out, however, given the chance to score a big meal on a tender, non-aggressive fawn that could feed coyote pups or a hungry adult versus chasing rabbits or eating soft mast … would you go for the fillet on the buffet line or repeated trips for a small salad? That's a pretty easy answer.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the increase in coyotes throughout the Southeast and elsewhere have impacted some whitetail populations. There was, and will be, heavy emphasis on encouraging more research at state and on privately managed lands to gather data for whitetail management. Miller suggested, too, that examination of doe harvest will be necessary for states as they look at regulations on season dates and bag limits.
More to come … stay tuned.

There's something about watching a horror film from another culture that can give a viewer a startling and not-altogether-unpleasant sense of disorientation. The differences between one's culture and the one represented on the screen--which has by definition a mythology, cultural signifiers, codes of behavior and established horror tropes completely separate from the viewer's own--can often set the audience's heads spinning and produce odd reactions. The Hopping Vampires of several Asian horror films, for instance, never fail to get a guffaw out of Western audiences, though in their home countries these well-established bogeymen would have moviegoers cowering under the seats. Similarly some of the Japanese demons that to us look more like bumbling cartoon characters than creatures spawned from hell. If you weren't raised on a steady diet of spook tales involving such beasts, you might have a hard time mustering a suitably terrified reaction to their appearance.
All of which goes a little way toward explaining the gleeful and seemingly unhinged bat-shittery of the 1981 Indonesian horror classic Mystics in Bali. Still--I can't help thinking that some of the stuff presented here is Grade-A Wackness WHEREVER you're from.
The movie opens with a credit montage of demons who look like Dr. Teeth on acid. These would totally have tripped my shit out as a kid, I don't mind telling you, and even now I wouldn't want to find one under my bed or ensconced in my armoire. The music during this sequence is also alien and creepy in an "I don't know what's going on here, but I'm sure it's Not Good" kinda way.
Once that's done we leap into the saga of poor little Kathy, a wide-eyed American abroad who has come to Bali to learn about Leyak Black Magic. In hilariously dubbed expository dialog with her native guide and love interest Hendra, Kathy explains that the Balinese Black Magic is the Most Powerful Black Magic in the World, greater and more scary even than the voodoo she learned while she was in Africa and the smattering of Witchcraft she picked up in a coven in England. "Why's a pretty girl like you interested in knowing black magic?" Hendra wants to know, which Kathy answers by saying she's researching for a book on the subject. However, her scenes with the feather-haired and tightly tee-shirted Hendra belie her real motives, which are somewhere between International Tongue-Wrestling Training and a package sex-tourism holiday.
seriously reverbed-out bad trip music, some disorienting camera work, and a romantic picnic in a forest with human skulls littering the ground! Kathy is one freaky chick, and Hendra has found the way to her heart, what with his black magic appointment planning skills and "Property of Notre Dame" form-fitting tees. As their romance blooms, a seductive-looking witchy woman watches jealously from the jungle.
The meeting with the Leyak Master takes us over the border from poorly-dubbed soap opera into full-blown other-dimension weirdness and never looks back. Leyak Masters can change their form at will, Hendra informs us, but can always be recognized by their high-pitched, cackling laughs. Why a sorceress with the ability to choose any form she wants would select the bug-eyed, long-haired, Coffin Joe-nailed monstrosity that shows up for the meeting is anyone's guess, but Hendra knew what he was talking about with that laugh thing--the gleeful, totally insane cackle she unleashes frequently in conversation just goes on and on and on, to the point that I kept expecting to hear the opening notes of "Wipeout" by the Ventures every time she took a breath.
The First Meeting scene is just pure excellence. We get a sudden rainstorm that drenches our two lovers before the Leyak Master appears, we get that famous sampled wolf howl (A sound-effect short-hand for creepiness in any language, apparently. Are there wolves in Indonesia? Maybe coyotes? Irritable opossums?), and more. The Leyak master herself has a voice that can best be described as Yoda meets Terry Gilliam's bridgekeeper from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but with just a soupçon of King Diamond thrown in for flavor. After agreeing to teach Kathy the secrets of Balinese Black Magic, the Leyak Master offers her bear-trap hand to shake on the deal--and then walks off, leaving her disembodied hand in Kathy's! The American drops it, and it crawls off in a scene that really puts the "special" in special effects.
The next night Hendra and Kathy meet the Leyak Master again. This time the witch has chosen to appear as an aswang, a vampire-like creature from Filipino folklore that sucks blood through its long, prehensile tongue. In fact, the tongue is all we get to see, as it snakes out of the bushes to take some diamonds from Kathy's hand, and then to drink from the Coke bottles full of blood that the lovers have brought with them, as previously agreed. (No hints as to where they got it.) "Mmm! Good! Delicious!" the Leyak Master enthuses whilst slurping. "Now I need to take off your skirt!" I know such a statement might seem startling, but Kathy drops trou without batting an eye. I guess when you're in a one-on-one with a ten-foot long warty tongue, it's best to just roll with it.
Of course when the tongue then proceeds to tattoo a black magic spell on your naked thigh, you might start to reconsider the wisdom of the whole book-research enterprise. Back at her bungalow, Kathy invites Hendra to examine the tattoo to see if he can read it, in a scene absolutely FRAUGHT with cultural dissonance. You can tell from Hendra's goofy-ass expression and the Significant Music that what's going on here is MAJOR on the Indonesian eroticism scale, though to Western viewers it looks like he's just been asked whether her butt looks big in her bikini.
The next night Kathy meets the Leyak Master alone for the first time. Her walk through the swamp leads to her nearly falling into a pit full of White Indonesian Swamp Mice and a papier mache skull of questionable crafstmanship. (Why didn't they use the realistic-looking skulls from the picnic scene? Were they rented?) They meet at the Wicker League Basketball Association's practice court, the Leyak Master appearing as a balloon-faced woman using bamboo bird cages as crutches--laughing all the way, of course. After an impromptu interpretive dance lesson, both Kathy and the sorceress TRANSFORM THEMSELVES INTO HOGS in a transformation scene that can only be described as COMPLETELY FUCKING AWESOME. Air bladders, glycerin-goo, bad-trip music and rapid editing--it really must be seen to be believed, and should.
Meanwhile Hendra is understandably concerned about his Thigh-Revealing Mama, so he goes to talk to his uncle, who Knows About These Things. The uncle gives him some protective chants and a magical dagger ("Take it--it will increase your power!") apparently passed on from Hendra's OTHER uncle, a white magician of great power who is unfortunately out of town for the weekend. The guy playing Hendra's uncle is AWESOME, by the way--he's like the Indonesian Samuel L. Jackson. DON'T. FUCK. WITH UNC.
Kathy's lessons continue, leading to the most famous set piece in the film: the Leyak Master, just swimming in ulterior motives, enslaves Kathy and turns her into a penanggalan--another creature from Indonesian folklore that is just about as crazy as you could hope for. Basically, Kathy's head separates from her body, taking ALL ITS INTERNAL ORGANS WITH IT (you can see trachea, lungs, stomach, heart, intestines...the LOT) and zips through the sky, seeking women who are with child. Because you see, the penanggalan feeds on the unborn, by SUCKING THE FETUS OUT THROUGH THE MOTHER'S VAGINA. Do you get to see this happen? HELL YES you do. Another example of cultural dissonance: naked thighs? Big Deal. Disembodied head with trailing organs on a zip wire vacuuming a fetus out a mom-to-be's fun-chute? Not as much.
There pretty much HAS to be a drop off after THAT shit, although the movie does its best to keep the crazy magic pumping. Kathy rebels against her new master but is powerless to resist hot sweet baby sludge, Hendra and his uncle go all Harker/Van Helsing on their asses, and the hot girl from earlier is revealed to be--I think--one of the Leyak Master's other incarnations. We get another transformation sequence where the sorceresses turn into snakes that's ALMOST as good as the pig change, we get to see Kathy vomit live (white) mice, a battle between talking fireballs, and an absolutely pyrotechnic climactic confrontation between the forces of Good and Evil that leaves one hero dead, introduces a new character out of nowhere, causes several trees to be uprooted, and ends up with a resolution that may have been new in 1922, but seems kind of hokey here.
Mystics in Bali is an experience of which every mad movie fan should avail himself. The peek into Indonesian folklore is instructive and interesting, but it's the wild effects, the freaky music, and the hilarious dubbing/exposition that will warm the cockles of your jaded move-watching hearts. Being an Indonesian joint there's no nudity and (surprisingly) precious little blood, but the mixture of bad matte effects, wild practical effects, and 80s video filters more than make up for the l(ey)ack. You'll laugh, you'll pop your eyes, you'll send your head flying off in search of baby cakes, and you'll laugh some more. 3+ thumbs, not to be missed.

This one's a doozy, isn't it? I love the fact that it brings the heavy weirdness and gives no quarter, right through the end. Your summation of the turning-into-pigs scene is ENTIRELY RIGHT AND GOOD.
Wouldn't you love to be part of Uncle's council of elders? You just get to sit around, smoking cigarettes, drinking what is undoubtedly AWESOME Indonesian hooch, judging stuff? That's the LIFE, man.

This sounds like a must-see, indeed! Fantastic review as always, dearest Vicar. Hog transformations, unborn fetus sucking... yes, I must watch this.

I will definitely keep an eye (or perhaps an entire disembodied system of internal organs) out for the this one.
Have you seen the American indie film from the 90s, Aswang? It turns the whole convention around, as a thoroughly American film about a family of American missionaries in the Phillipines turned in aswang, who return to the US to inherit an apple orchard in rural Wisconsin.
It differs from most over-the-top 80s indie gore-fests (Evil Dead II, Re-Animator, etc.) in that it plays the situation fairly straight (no splatstick, but plenty of splat). But you will believe that an American aswang can hang upside-down from the roof and extend a 30-yard prehensile tongue into the womb of a pregnant woman. Definitely worth a watch, even if you only wind up writing a hilariously negative review.
- July 18, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Okay, inspired by my previous comment, I watched Aswang again. I really don't understand why this isn't on everybody's top 10/20/50/100 list of horror films.
Mondo Macabro released it on DVD about 4-5 years ago, and maybe it's not in print anymore, but seriously.
Back in the early days of the horror blogosphere (when it was more of a horror Magellenic cloud), I pushed this film. And no one believed me.
I swear, in 10 years or so, horror fandom is going to be talking about what a great film Aswang is. Because it is. Imagine the perfect synthesis of slasher, splatstick, new cinema schocker, Eurogothic, and classic horror, with themes borrowed from
Filipino/Malaysian/Indonesian horror.
I realize I've strayed from the topic of this post, but you have got to see this movie.

Well, I've got to say, Howard, that I admire your dedication to mad movies, and more than a little chuffed at the influence MMMMMovies itself seems to exert over your movie-watching habits! If more people go out and watch crazy foreign horror flicks because of something they read here, I can only consider the enterprise a success!
As to Aswang, I did indeed see that movie a few years ago, but to be honest I must not have been in a sober enough frame of mind to appreciate it fully (IYKWIM). All I seem to remember is that the director had a MAJOR foot fetish on for the lead actress. Oh, and something silly where a girl tries to escape binding, not by cutting though the very thin piece of wood she's chained to, but by cutting through something else.
Everything else is a blur, though. Given your strong feelings about it, I'd be more than willing to give it another chance.

I also loved this movie. I just watched and reviewed a new Mondo Macabro gem called "The Queen of Black Magic". It's not quite as weird as MiB, but technically it's a better movie.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Barriers to farm imports in Japan and Canada will be one focus of free trade talks with Pacific Rim countries this weekend, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said on Thursday.
Speaking at an agricultural conference shortly before leaving for the next round of talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in Singapore, he said negotiators were keen to resolve sticking points to allow the talks to go forward.
"Concluding these ambitious negotiations will be challenging, but we have never backed down from a challenge," he told the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Outlook Forum.
Froman said getting movement from Japan, which is reluctant to allow more foreign competition in sensitive sectors such as rice, and Canada, where the United States would like more access for dairy and poultry, would be key aims in agriculture.
"At this stage, it's well known that the outstanding issues on agricultural market access revolve generally around Japan and Canada, and we are all working to try and work through those issues with those parties so that we can move the negotiations forward," Froman said.
He also played down resistance in Congress to give the White House authority to fast-track free trade deals, saying his focus was on bringing back a good TPP deal and that would help build momentum for so-called trade promotion authority.
"I think our trading partners understand that," he said.
Countries negotiating the TPP, which would cover 40 percent of the world economy, include Mexico, Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam.

The Chicago Blackhawks received quite a morale boost recently - the team's star goaltender Corey Crawford has just signed a six year extension with the Hawks worth $36m.
The 28-year-old had a 16-7 record during last year's playoffs, which ended with Crawford hoisting another Stanley Cup.
Crawford also won his first William M. Jennings Trophy with help from backup Ray Emery as well. Although, Crawford was only ranked 11th in wins and shutouts at the conclusion of last season, I have no doubt that he will improve even more this year. He has a lot of potential, and has proven that he can win games under pressure.
In my opinion, he's one of the best goalies in the National Hockey League. And with two Stanley Cups to his name, I don't think anyone can argue this fact. Corey Crawford voiced his decision to stay in Chicago very quickly.
Upon signing the extension, Crawford boldy stated: "I want to be in Chicago my whole career."
It seems the Blackhawks organisation was more than happy to grant Crawford that request with this new extension. However, this upcoming season will be quite a challenge for Crawford due to the departure of backup goalie Ray Emery. In my opinion, the organisation should have attempted to keep both Emery and Crawford.
Crawford will easily have the starting position. However the inconsistency of newly acquired backup Nikolai Khabibulin will certainly put more pressure on him. As stated above, Crawford has proven that he can perform well under pressure. But there is always a fear of Crawford being forced to play too many games.
At any rate, I believe this is a wonderful move by the Chicago Blackhawks. I can't wait to see how well Crawford will do this year, and how he'll do without the aid of Ray Emery.

Drinking water is such a simple thing to do and yet it has such a profound effect on our health in so many ways. Just to list a few, water can help prevent heartburn, arthritis, back pain, angina, headaches, migraines, Asthma, high blood pressure, colitis, and even diabetes. Unfortunately most of us walk around most of the time in a state of semi dehydration and we aren't even aware of it. Part of the reason for this is the thrust is not a reliable indicator or when we need to drink. In fact if you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated! The Mayo Clinic has some excellent information on the importance of water and also provides some simple tips on determining how much water you should be drinking.

Ports of Call
- St Kitts (Basseterre)
Introducing St Kitts And Nevis
Lake Gunn, South Island © Jocelyn Kinghorn
The twin-island nation of St Kitts and Nevis, situated in the Leeward Islands of the eastern Caribbean, is shaped rather like a tennis racquet and ball - the larger St Kitts is separated from its ball-shaped southern counterpart, Nevis, by a two-mile (3km) channel called The Narrows. St Kitts and Nevis is the smallest sovereign state in the Americas, both by area and population, but despite this the islands pack a big touristic punch.
At first glance, the sleepy islands appear to be forgotten in time: a pair of quiet, lush islands that convey nothing of their former prosperity and turbulent history. From a wealthy position as the most illustrious sugar colony in the Caribbean in the early 18th century, the islands became the centre of conflict, as European powers fought for control of the territory, and the rich waters became an irresistible stalking ground for pirates who lay in wait for the merchant ships.
Today the population of St Kitts and Nevis consists mainly of descendants of the slaves who were shipped from Africa to work the sugar plantations. Vestiges of splendid estates are all that remain as a reminder of the infamously profligate way of life of the rich and famous of days gone by, but the beautiful island nation now attracts jet-setting tourists.
St Kitts and Nevis have become the tourist pearls of the Caribbean, valued today more as a tropical paradise than anything else, with clear and inviting waters, sandy beaches and a natural splendour to stun even the most avid city-slicker. Together with a diverse range of activities, historical sites, and the charm of their two capital harbour towns, the volcanic islands are a seductive blend of colour, sunshine and luxurious relaxation.

First Shift at St. Therese
Ami and I worked in the hospital last night with 3 students: Suzette, Marie Rose and Sonis. I was surprised at my reaction this morning as we finished up our shift. I felt speechless and overwhelmed. In contrast to my ease with the orphanage and the flow of Haitian life, I felt despondent and discouraged at the familiar hospital scene. Three women gave birth in the wee hours of the morning after a slow start to our shift. With each one, I felt moments of regret; this shouldn't be happening like this.
The first mother to give birth was a young, first timer who accidentally gave birth in the antepartum room. Antepartum, postpartum and post-op are large rooms with 12 beds, one woman to a bed. The rooms were completely full all night. The other two women who gave birth through the night had to stay in the labor ward because we had no empty beds. The young mother gave birth almost painlessly. Her sister told us that she was sleeping when the baby started coming. The mother looked no more than 17 years old, although the midwife claimed she was 22.
She gave birth in the antepartum room, without opportunity for privacy or modesty. We had to clean up the baby and mother without the simple luxury of a partition or sheet to separate her from the other 11 women in the room. Thankfully, the baby was gwo e asante (big and healthy). As the midwife in charge rubbed the baby to a hearty cry, the mother looked away, disconnected and masked. Her face gave no hint of what thoughts lay within. This is a familiar response to birth in Haiti. The mothers seem overwhelmed and disconnected to their babies. The only explanation that I proposed my first year here was that there is so much infant death. Still birth, infant death, children not reaching the age of 5. Giving birth risks her own life as well. With such odds, mothers bond tentatively and slowly, too familiar with the pain of loss.
It is also poverty. I have no idea what it may mean for a mother to have a child here. We so rarely witness joy as a reaction to birth. A baby means another mouth to feed, school and clothe. An already impoverished family may not see a new baby as a blessing. My first year here, I tried to emphasize each healthy birth. We encouraged the mother to speak to and touch her child. "This baby is so big and healthy," we would exclaim. "Look, how beautiful, a girl, a boy." Could we possible teach a mother how to bond?
The other two births this morning also produced healthy babies. One woman had been literally wailing for what seemed like hours. She had been coming to the hospital for the last 5 days; a long, early labor that was possibly indicative of a posterior baby. At the peak of her labor, the midwife on staff examined her and said she was 5 cms dilated. I was outside at the time, trying to nap sitting up in a chair. I finally went in to really understand why this woman was literally screaming. She seemed to be pushing with each contraction. I asked again how far dilated she was and why she was pushing at 5 cms. The staff midwife, a student from the prior class, seemed disinterested in the pushing effort in front of her. I told them I wanted to do an exam. Sure enough, the woman was completely dilated and the baby was minutes away from being born. I felt disturbed by the lack of competence and follow through that ultimately led to a chaotic rush to prepare for the birth. This shouldn't be happening this way.
When the woman actually gave birth, meconium-stained amniotic fluid flooded the floor and the top of my sneaker. The baby needed to be suctioned with a DeLee, which the students had never seen used before. I was glad to show them a new skill. Sonis did a fine job suturing.
The third mom was rushed also; a general understanding of preparedness will be our teaching theme for the week. Ami and I walked home at 6:30am, grateful for the 3 healthy babies, but not without noting the small, taped up cardboard box on the counter all night that stood sentinel to the truth that neonatal mortality is a constant tragedy here in Haiti.

Research helps us do our jobs better. Through our research, we can teach students about new technology, a new way of thinking about things, and how to think analytically.
You'll find that our faculty and staff have diverse research backgrounds, which we share with students during their time here. One of the great things about our department is that once you declare anthropology as your major, you qualify to do research. That's right—you don't have to be a junior, senior, or graduate student. Research starts when you first walk through our doors.
And since we value research, we've made sure you'll have some of the best facilities and technology available.
One great resource is our Applied Anthropology Laboratories, which hold an extensive library of archaeological literature concentrating on the Midwest. In addition, this facility houses extensive artifact collections. We maintain diagnostic artifact and chert-type collections as an educational and professional resource. The labs' research collections have established us as a leading resource center for professional and amateur archaeologists, public school teachers, and other interested individuals.

Dean helps get giant hotel rolling for opener
FROM the snow-capped Canadian Rockies to the high-rolling casinos of Macau, hospitality guru Dean Bignall reckons he has the life.
At the age of 15, Mr Bignall decided he wanted to be the guy pouring beers, not drinking them.
The decision has rewarded him many times over.
Now 42, Mr Bignall is a hospitality teacher at Sunshine Coast TAFE, but his career has had him manage hotels at Canada's Lake Louise, Queensland's Hamilton Island and a 15-season stint at Thredbo.
He took time out earlier this year to help establish the world's largest Sheraton hotel in the gambling mecca of Macau.
Employed on a one-month contract, Mr Bignall was given the task of ironing out any wrinkles before the hotel's grand opening.
"It was a clean slate and it was up to me to get things right before we opened to the public," he said.
"We invited around 5000 people in soft openings, which allowed us to identify the systems that were working and the ones that needed more attention."
Mr Bignall said most hotels in Macau were judged on face value with much attention on the food and beverage displays.
"A lot of effort is put into making things look pretty, with so much attention to detail," he said.
"It makes you wonder why you go to so much effort because the majority of guests are there for one reason: to gamble."
Millions of Chinese flock to Macau each year to try their luck, spending more at the gaming tables than Las Vegas and Reno combined.
Mr Bignall said gambling was a way of life for many Chinese.
"Macau locals told me that the Chinese view the good fortune that comes with winning as a sign of masculinity," he said.
"I've seen guys play at tables for five days straight, only stopping when they had to eat to get the energy to keep going."
Although he was grateful for his stint in Macau, he stopped short of recommending his own hospitality students head over.
"It was great for me because I was on the same wage as I am here in Australia, so it was more about the experience," he said.
"The fact is that the money there is terrible - about $200 a week with a lot of overtime - so it's not something I'd advise."

Just before the Bears' Week 1 victory over Cincinnati began, the NFL Network's pregame show ran a package featuring clips of all six brand-new rookie NFL head coaches. The montage featured your typical yawps and bellows from eager, young coaches looking to fire up their players. From five of the six newbie coaches, anyway.
When Marc Trestman spoke, he spoke calmly and used words with three syllables. Sometimes four! During pre-practice warmups, Lance Briggs walked up to Trestman and said, "Got a question for ya. Do you EVER take your hat off?" Trestman deadpanned, "If you had hair like mine, you'd never take your hat off." Cut to the other five rookie coaches, all yelling in sequence something unintelligible, covered in sweat and desperation.
Those five coaches are a combined 4-11 through three weeks, while Trestman's Bears are undefeated.
Trestman's self-deprecating humor didn't force five turnovers Sunday, nor did it lead game-winning drives on the previous two Sundays. Trestman is not the force-of-nature personality storm our town has historically loved. His tenure will not spawn "Saturday Night Live" sketches, nor will he ever try to sell us sausage.
Instead, he'll go for it on fourth-and-short near midfield and make well-informed coaches' challenges. He'll grill a fortyburger on Sunday night at Heinz Field. (Ketchup joke!)
His offense has Jay Cutler getting rid of the ball quickly. Cutler's sack rate is about once per 34 drop-backs. (During his prior four years, he was dropped once every 13.) As a result, Cutler has a 94.2 quarterback rating—good for 10th in the league—but climbs all the way to third in ESPN's proprietary QBR ranking, which weighs statistical performance in pivotal game situations higher than garbage-time stats. If that stays in the top five, the Bears win the NFC North. Period.
Spend 20 minutes watching video of Trestman discussing football and his plan for the Bears. You won't hear a single coach-speak cliché. Instead of Ditka, you should want to be him for Halloween, especially when the Bears are 5-2 (or better) headed into that bye weekend.
Black-framed glasses, slicked-back hair under a hat, and a navy Bears polo. Done.

Cougar Town Does Okay in Its TBS Debut
But it's no Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is taking over the world. On a Tuesday night that saw a ton of original cable premieres — Cougar Town, Justified, Pretty Little Liars — a repeat episode of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady's nerd-com beat everything on cable as well as most of what aired on the broadcast networks. TBS's 9:30 p.m. BBT drew 3.8 million viewers and averaged a 1.8 rating with folks under 50. That sort of helped Cougar Town, though not as much as TBS might have hoped: The ABC import lost about 40 percent of that lead-in, averaging a 1.1 in the demo and 2.2 million viewers. That's not a bad number and is in line with what other TBS original comedies have done behind BBT; however, it's also not the kind of eye-popping Nielsen rating that would make another TBS season of Cougar Town a no-brainer. In fairness, the Cul-de-Sac Crew faced some fierce cable competition Tuesday.
Over at FX, Justified scored a strong 3.6 million viewers and notched a 1.3 rating with viewers under 50, easily winning the 10 p.m. time slot among cable networks and beating ABC's departing Private Practice in the younger demo. MTV's second season of Snooki and JWoww also, er, wowed: Its 1.1 under 50 rating tied Private Practice (and Cougar Town), while the show's 2.6 rating with women under 35 beat every show on broadcast Tuesday other than Fox's New Girl. Earlier in the night, ABC Family's megahit Pretty Little Liars averaged a 1.4 with viewers under 50, beating Tuesday network fare such as The New Normal (1.3) and Ben and Kate (1.2). But where PLL dominated viewership was with ABC Family's target audience of women under 35: The series drew a 3.5 rating with young women, beating every show on cable Tuesday — and every show on the broadcast networks. PLL is so powerful with women under 35 that a 10 p.m. repeat of the drama beat original episodes of Private Practice and CBS's Vegas in that demo.

There's three new user permissions in this plugin, GTKDOC_SEARCH, GTKDOC_VIEW, and GTKDOC_ADMIN. GTKDOC_VIEW is obviously to view the api and well as search it, where admin allows the addition and removal of books.
As mentioned above the admin interface provides an interface for adding and removing books. Books are keyed on a name given to them at the time they're added, as well as an absolute path on the local filesystem of where the book actually is. This way, you can update the documentation (with rsync for example) and not have to touch a thing in trac.

Combaning Creek waterhole, September 2011
Two weeks ago I visited Condobolin to give a presentation about the walk from Lake Cowal to Combaning (see from 'Creeklines ~ day one'). Condobolin town sits beside the beautiful Lachlan River. party jumpers for sale
The Waterhole Project will soon be coming to an end, and the visit was a good opportunity to report directly on what I've learned. After the presentation we sat outside for lunch. This photo shows local writer Merrill Findlay (see her website here) and Condobolin Local Aboriginal Land Council members Mark Guudama Powell and Rebecca Shepherd.
That afternoon I drove southeast to Lake Cowal. An immense pile of waste rock and earth generated by the Lake Cowal gold mine rose above the grassy plain.
The old homestead of Lake Cowal station, now owned by Barrick Gold, stood empty beside the lake.
Lake Cowal was brimming with the abundant floodwaters and creek flows of 2010.
The next morning, dense fog blanketed the lake and its surrounding paddocks.
Mal Carnegie from the Lake Cowal Conservation Centre took me out to see the pale green islands of lignum. Thousands of white ibis pairs had finished rearing their young here only a month previously.
The fog didn't lift and the morning air stayed cold. Mal joked that it was like sailing the North Sea. With the shoreline invisible and even the sun obscured, he followed the bright yellow buoys marking the edge of the mining lease back to the lake edge.

text: Many of us are starting this week with a light heart. Most employees will have Thursday and Friday as holidays to celebrate Thanksgiving. Somehow, this holiday that we were taught was a special time to express our gratitude for the blessings of life has become the extended shopping weekend for Christmas, something which is neither appropriate nor complimentary of the day. We owe more than we can ever pay to those who were involved in the celebration of the first Thanksgiving – the least we can do is make the time to remember them.Archeologists tell us that most people through time have believed in taking the time to show appreciation for the harvest. In some cultures, it was an annual festival, in others, it was more of a periodic celebration. The first harvest feast to be held by the European settlers in the new land was held in the fall of 1621. The Plymouth colony had lost forty six of its original one hundred two settlers in a hard winter. The land was not what they were led to believe it would be, and their traditional farming methods were not successful. The natives of the area had been involved with farming for generations, and were kind enough to share their techniques with the newcomers. As a result, the harvest was better than was expected. Harking back to earlier traditions, the colonists planned a three day feast. While turkey is normally considered to have been the prey of the four men Governor Bradford sent fowling, it is unlikely. The term "turkey" included all edible fowl of the day, not just the bird that was once considered for our national symbol. The rest of our traditional dinner was either scorned by or not available to the colonists. Potatoes of any sort were considered by most people to be poisonous. The supply of flour brought from England was long gone, so the pies, cakes and white breads that we think of as part of the feast could not be made. These would have been replaced with boiled squash, watercress, berries, fish, lobster and clams. Certainly a different menu than most of us anticipate!The feast was not set up to be an annual one. In 1623, after a rain finally broke a long drought, a one day celebration of Thanksgiving was held. Again, the Indians were invited, but, typical of the people making up the colony, more time was spent in prayers and sermons than games and feasting. The first proclamation of thanksgiving was made in June, 1676. Passed by the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, it proclaims June 29 to be a "day of Solemn Thanksgiving and praise to God for such Goodness and Favour, the many Particulars of which might be Instanced" held for the purpose of "as a People, offering Praise." Again, this was a one time celebration, intended to show appreciation for the establishment of the colony at a time when the natives and nature seemed to be conspiring to prevent the continued existence of Charlestown.Formal celebrations of Thanksgiving then disappeared until 1777 when all thirteen colonies celebrated their victory over the British at Saratoga. Once the nation was formed, and Washington elected her leader, there was discussion of an annual observance. Both Washington and Jefferson opposed it, seeing it as commemorating the hardships of a few Pilgrims. The matter rested there until 1863.President Lincoln was a talented man, and one whose time in office was plagued with many affairs that changed the course of our nation. Most people are unaware that the celebration of Thanksgiving was started by him, at the urging of Sara Josepha Hale. In October of 1863, President Lincoln issued the following proclamation:"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace – too proud to pray to the God that made us.It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people.I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our benevolent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."This Thanksgiving finds thousands of our citizens overseas; some serving in the military or on ships, others involved in maintaining diplomatic relations with other nations. Some are working for private companies, but many are there at the behest of their government. Many are in situations that are not safe. Yet Thanksgiving is so deeply engrained in the American people, that each will spend some time remembering our nation, and why they serve. We have even more to be thankful for than did the Americans to whom Lincoln was speaking. How sad he would be to realize that, for many, the days will be spent, not in thanksgiving, but in shopping. Let us take the time to come together in thanksgiving for our blessings for at least one day.Lisa Peterson is the County Attorney for Nolan County.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The spokesman for Libya's prosecutor general says the last prime minister under ousted dictator Moammar Gadhafi will be put on trial for crimes allegedly committed under the former regime.
Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi was extradited from Tunisia, where he fled in September 2011, after the fall of Tripoli to rebel forces.
After he spent eight months in detention, Tunisia agreed to extradite him to Libya, despite warnings from rights groups that he could face death or torture in Libya.
Adel Baara said Sunday the trial of al-Mahmoudi would begin Monday in Tripoli's criminal court. He said al-Mahmoudi is facing charges regarding his role in a number of cases during the civil war, as well as undermining the country's security. He did not give further details.

Do you drive your kids to school, even when they could walk? Giving them a ride could actually be putting them at a disadvantage in the classroom, according to a new study out of Denmark.
A survey of about 20,000 Danish kids between the ages of 5 and 19 found that kids who walk (or bike) to school scored better on tasks that involve concentration than those who were driven or bused to school, or took public transportation. That little bit of pre-classroom exercise appears to aid focus even more than eating breakfast-- and the effect lasts for up to four hours.
Plus: How Healthy is Your Family?
In 1969, about half of all kids in the U.S. walked to school, but now only about 13 percent do, according to Safe Routes to School National Partnership. While many parents drive because the route to school is either not safe for little pedestrians or they just live too far, some take the car because it seems like less of a hassle. However, getting kids out the door a little earlier (and enduring whines about how it's soooo far) may just be worth the better performance in school.

The Lazyboy recliners have a very adjustable reclining mechanism so that the user can position the chair in the way they find most comfortable. The numerous styles and designs of Lazyboys now available means there is Lazyboy furniture to fit into any surrounding. The Lazyboy big man recliner is ideal for individuals who are taller or larger than average. With adjustable seat heights and high back rests this model is excellent. In addition, storage armrests can hold refreshments or accessories like television remote controls.
When choosing office chairs for your workplace, it is ideal if you can test it out first to make sure that it feels comfortable enough. This is one way for you to make sure that you are at ease while sitting on it, and that it will give you ample room to move. One of the disadvantages of buying office chairs online is that you do not have the luxury of trying out the chair before buying them, only to discover that the chair does not offer a good fit for you. There are some online retailers that allow you to try their chairs for a period of time before you make a final decision as to whether to purchase their product or not. Go for chairs that does not only have aesthetic appeal but more importantly, choose chairs that offer adequate support.

Aussies shun costly dental work
CHILDREN and the elderly are particularly at risk of suffering from bad teeth in regional areas like the North Coast, with many avoiding the dentist because of the cost, according to a prominent local doctor.
Director of the Northern Rivers University Centre for Rural Health and local GP Dr Sue Page has confirmed the region is a hot spot for dental problems in the wake of study by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare which found one in three Australians avoid or delay visiting the dentist because of the cost.
The study also found that among those who visited a public dental clinic, a quarter had to wait between one and two years and a third wait more than two years.
Dr Page said that was even worse in areas like Lismore and went on to call for Medicare to be expanded to include dental care.
"It does increase the Medicare cost but at the moment we are funding state governments to provide public dental care," she said.
"It would normalise preventative dental health care."
She added that dental health was like maintaining a car.
"If you don't maintain your car, when it breaks it's more expensive," she said.
"People who have regular dental checks and have their plaque cleaned off their teeth, are less likely to get holes in their teeth.
"We have one of the highest rates in the sate of children having general anaesthetic to have multiple teeth pulled."
Whereas people in Sydney might wait six months for dentures Dr Page said: "It can take up to two years to get dentures here, even four years."
"I had a lady who died before she got dentures," she added.
Not only do patients face long waits in the Northern Rivers but she said if somebody left the public dental service here "it's very hard to recruit new people".
For a number of years the public dental service here, she added, had only been taking booking from people in "acute pain".
Worsening the situation was the lack of fluoride in local water supplies.
She warned that made it more important for children to avoid excessive soft drink and consume "good sources of calcium" such as dairy products.
One tip for avoiding cavities she said was to give children a small block of hard cheese to eat after school lunch or for them to take a tube of toothpaste to school and rub a small amount over their teeth after eating.
The Institute of Health and Welfare study found while nearly 60% of adult Australians visited the dentist in a year, one in five said that cost prevented them undergoing recommended treatment.
Institute spokeswoman Dr Jane Harford said the report findings showed that affordability of den

Even before seeing the Kate Moss shoot for Playboy's 60th Birthday, I knew I was going to be obsessed with it. Kate Moss doesn't do things by halves and she certainly doesn't disappoint.
The legendary fashion photographers Mert and Marcus have captured classic old school Playboy glamour as well as artistic and modern imagery in the editorial.
Each image seems to tell a different story and has its own unique charm.
My illustration is from a photograph from the shoot. This image has been used as a print on Marc Jacobs shirts. Of course, after knowing about this shirt I immediately tried to purchase it, but I can't get it shipped to the UK. I'm almost kind of tempted to get my illustration printed on a tee and wear it instead.
Although this illustration looks very much like Kate Moss, I strangely see an element of Kim Kardashian in it; I think it's possibly the lips.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's President Vladimir Putin says his sacked former defense minister isn't facing charges and may get a new official job.
Putin unexpectedly fired Anatoly Serdyukov this month amid a military corruption scandal focused on the suspicious sale of military assets.
Putin said Friday that Serdyukov lost his job over "doubts about his ability to oversee property issues." But he added that Serdyukov would not be blacklisted.
He says, "We aren't in 1937," referring to the peak year of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's purges.
Some observers believe the dismissal was likely rooted in a battle over 20 trillion rubles ($635 billion) that the Kremlin plans to spend on weapons through 2020. Serdyukov was demanding higher quality and cheaper prices, angering Kremlin-connected industry leaders.
