"Ella pughalum iraivanuke (All glory and fame is to God)" was how music maestro A R Rahman reacted to his double-Oscar feat. Besides God, the 'Mozart of Madras' also dedicated his Oscars to his "loving" mother Kareema Begum, who was seated among the audience at the Kodak Theatre.
Rahman has always dedicated his awards to them. "I always had a choice between love and hate in my life. And I chose love and I am here," a beaming Rahman said at the Awards Ceremony.
Having shouldered the responsibilities of his family at the tender age of 9, Rahman never had an opportunity to get proper education in his life. Begum had in an interview to a Tamil weekly had said she will feel bad forever for not giving her son an opportunity to enjoy his childhood days.Before coming, I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt like that was during my marriage. There's a dialogue from a Hindi film called "Mere paas ma hai," which means "I have nothing but I have a mother," so mother's here, her blessings are there with me. I am grateful for her to have come all the way. And I want to thank the Academy for being so kind, all the jury members. I want to thank Sam Schwartz, I/D PR, all the crew of Slumdog, Mr Gulzar , Raqueeb Alam, Blaaze, my musicians in Chennai and Mumbai. And I want to tell something in Tamil, which says, which I normally say after every award which is... "God is great." Thank you.
After four Golden Globes, seven BAFTAs and seven Oscars, India still held her collective breath. There was that one final award, that one final nod of appreciation that the country so desperately wanted to see. And when it came, it was glorious! The film bagged its eight and last award for Best Film, where most of the cast and crew joined the producers on stage.
The gorgeous Freida Pinto, the energetic Anil Kapoor, the seasoned Irrfan, Mumbai's child actors, director Danny Boyle and co-director Loveleen Tandan went on-stage to celebrate!
Seeing the whole cast and crew up on the dais, sending off the television audience in true Bollywood fashion, was a moment that no true Indian will forget any time soon.
From a remote village in Kerala that had no electricity to the bright lights of Hollywood, what a journey it has been for 36-year-old Resul Pookutty, India's most feted sound technician.
Pookutty shared the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke for their work in Slumdog Millionaire.

Handmaid's Tale- Characters and Current Events
Literature and Life
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is a particularly effective text in a unit on WOMEN'S HISTOR, DYSTOPIA or one linked to CURRENT EVENTS. I've found the unit to be more engaging when I asked to the students to look for connections between characters, conflicts, and events in the book and those they experienced, observed or read about in the news. This assignments helps students gain essential ELA skills in research and writing. Students also have opportunity to connect what they learn in History classes to what they are reading in English. Note link to Social, Economic, and Political issues.

During a momentary twist-off of the salary cap, NFL GMs are giddily wheeling and dealing like a garage full of fantasy football geeks on draft day. There's no telling what might happen next as typically tight-fisted clubs like the Bears have gone on a spree while characteristically profligate spenders like the Redskins have stood pat. I asked one player who has been the subject of some speculation, San Diego All Pro Linebacker Shawne Merriman, if all this NFL musical chairs is getting to him.
How do like all this wild no-salary-cap spending that's going on?
It's kind of a bind that everybody who came in my year got into. It's about 212 players. We just gotta deal with it and hope for the best. End of the day it's about playing football.
Do you think one of the things that got so out of whack was that owners were paying rookies too much?
I think so. Because whenever a guy comes out of the draft and is unproven and gets that type of money and then you have guys who are proven in the league who aren't getting the same type of money, it creates a problem not just in the locker room but in what we're going through right now with the CBA (collective bargaining agreement). This whole thing is a money issue. That's what it's about. If those problems had already been fixed who knows where we'd be at right now.
When you see prized veterans like Ladainian Tomlinson, Brian Westbrook and Thomas Jones getting cut for essentially money reasons, how does it make you feel?
It's a part of the business. I'm one of the few that understands that. I'm just here to play football. If I find a five-year deal, my job is to perform for five years. Of course, I'd like to finish out my career with one team but that's not how it is. How it is is it's a business, and that takes precedence over where I want to be.
Then let's talk business. Antonio Cromartie, Ladainian Tomlinson - two former Chargers teammates of yours with Pro Bowl resumes - recently signed with the New York Jets. When are you headed to New York?
Let me tell you something it'd be great to play out there. I'm an East Coast kid. So to be back out on the east coast would be great. I love the San Diego weather and winning, but it'd be great to play on the East Coast.
Let's just keep this between us, but which team under no circumstances would you not want to join?
(long pause) I'm happy where I'm at.
Amidst the debate over new overtime rules maybe the players could benefit. Here's a proposal for the NFLPA: Just like it is for most other Americans if you work OT you get paid time-and-a-half.
We know that won't be the case.
Doesn't that make sense? You play an extra 15 minutes you should get paid extra.
It would make sense if they took away two pre-season games and added two to the regular season and we got paid for those. Now that would make a lot of sense.
All this free agency, players moving around, collective bargaining - it must make you think about how you want your career to end. I read a few weeks ago about Allen Iverson finding out on the same day that an injury ended his season and likely career and his wife filed for divorce. Can you think of worse last day at work than that?
No it doesn't get too much worse than that. But I don't think in that way. My thoughts are all always positive. I don't worry about my career after football. I'm still one of the only active players to have had my own TV show, pro football talk on FOX. I had several radio deals with Clear Channel, and still do. I enjoy talking about the game that I love playing. I'll be doing much more of that when I'm done with football as a player.
I read on your twitter site, www.twitter.com/shawnemerriman, that you're into the WWE. Promise me you won't go into professional wrestling.
No, I just like kicking ass. I don't know about the wrestling thing so much. It's a possibility though. It's been there for while.

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't leave the Barclays Center with who everyone thought they were going to draft, (D'Angello Russell). The Lakers picked up the phenom guard out of Ohio State at #2 before the Sixers could take their shot at him. With their target prospect gone before their eyes, many people wondered who the 76ers would take at #3. With already having two stud big men the field seemed to be wide open. However GM Sam Hinkie did what any smart GM would do, regardless of pieces, take the best player on the board. And that is exactly what the 76ers did, with the 3rd overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jahlil Okafor, the freshman center out of Duke. With some of the best post moves seen in years out of a college big, the Sixers just couldn't pass him up. When a team is in the rebuilding phase that Philadelphia is in right now, it doesn't matter that you already have two centers, you take the best player you can get. You build your assets. So that when the time comes, you have weapons in the back of your pocket when need be. The harsh reality of the current situation in Philly is that yes, one of the three stud big men, either Jahlil, Joel, or Nerlens will have to find a new home. But that is the reality of playing in the NBA. When it comes down to it, the best players stay and the rest move on. Although the 76ers have a lot of question marks right now when it comes to their current roster, one question they don't have is talent. They have plenty of that, and in the case of the 5 spot, perhaps one too many. As for Jahlil, he is enjoying his time in Philly so far. His first day on the team he was in the gym by 6:30. The first one there. He has since taken to the streets to sign autographs for kids and the fans. He is embracing his new home and is excited about the future. Just as every fan of the team should be. Trust the process. Is the current motto right now and couldn't hold more true. It may take a few more years, but it is safe to say the 76ers are headed in the right direction, and Jahlil Okafor is at the forefront.

Sixers Look to Make Big Leap With Thursday's Draft
On Thursday, June 25th at the Barclays Center in New York, New York, the Philadelphia 76ers will be ready to draft the next face of their franchise. The big question however is who will that be. With the 3rd pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select….. D'Angelo Russell? Justice Winslow? Frank Kaminsky? Jahlil Okafor? The question is one that can only be answered by the Philadelphia front office on Thursday night, the rest is up for speculation. But who do I hope we draft? D'Angelo Russell, who is seen to be the best guard available on the board. A position the Sixers are lacking at after parting ways with Michael-Carter Williams last season. The former Ohio State guard would fit in perfect with the young group currently set in place and could very well be the most exciting player in a Sixers uniform since Allen Iverson. At just 19 years old, and the projected #3 overall pick, Russell has an enormous upside. If the Lakers and Timberwolves pass on him for the bigs that they both are in need of, it only makes sense that we take him at 3. Although crazier things have happened in past drafts and this year may very well turn out that way as well. By having the #3 pick the Sixers are getting a lot of interest from other organizations looking to move up on the board (and probably steal D'Angelo from us). Although some trades do work out for the better when teams give away their lottery picks for other valuable additions and other picks later on down the line, I don't think this is our time do that. The city and the team is in need of a superstar to get us to that next level we were once at for so many years. Without a championship since the one Dr. J brought us in '83, we need to go after championship caliber talent and that is exactly what D'Angelo is! I can't wait much longer, can it just be Thursday night already?!

DALLAS (AP) – Joe Bieger walked out his front door with his two dogs one morning last fall, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and assistant high school athletic director. Minutes later, all of that – indeed, his very identity – would seemingly be wiped from his brain's hard drive.
For 25 days, he wandered the streets of Dallas and its environs a lost soul, unable to remember his name, what he did for a living, or where he lived, until, finally, a contractor who was building a new house for Bieger and his wife happened to recognize him.
By that point, Bieger had somehow made his way to a suburb about 20 miles from his Dallas home, holes worn in the rubber soles of his canvas shoes. He had lost 25 pounds, and a full white beard covered the normally clean-shaven educator's face.
Bieger, 59, says he was diagnosed afterward as suffering from psychogenic fugue, an extremely rare form of amnesia.
Now reunited with his family and back at work, Bieger agreed to tell his story to The Associated Press.
Bieger says he has regained all his memories up to the point he wandered away, and is amazed at the outpouring of support he received from friends, co-workers and the hundreds of volunteers who helped search for him on the streets, at hospitals and in homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
"Everyone believes that God brought me back for a reason, otherwise this might have ended differently," he says. "God wants me here to work with these students."
Bieger is under the care of a doctor who specializes in such cases. And his cell phone now includes a GPS tracking device.
But more than three months after the episode, he says he has only vague memories of those days on the streets of Dallas, one of America's most crime-ridden cities.
He recalls being stopped and frisked by police officers, who were looking for a suspect in a holdup at a pizzeria. There was also a smoky bowling alley. He remembers waking up cold on a playground, wearing shorts and a T-shirt with fall temperatures dropping into the 50s. Another time, he says, he awoke under a construction trailer.
He says he cannot recall what he ate to survive. But when he was found, he had jelly packets from a fast-food restaurant in his pockets and half a stale bagel.
Witnesses and police accounts fill in a few other gaps in Bieger's journey.
Bieger's dogs were found running loose within a few hours of his disappearance. About two weeks later, some homeless people told searchers they had seen a man matching Bieger's description near a Sam's Club store close to his home.
Over the next several days, he apparently crossed busy streets and interstate highways to the Dallas suburb of Plano, several miles north of Dallas. Not long after that, he was spotted at a church carnival in Plano.
Gwen Brooks, executive administrator at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, says the man claimed he had lost his keys and asked if he could search the bushes.
"He didn't look out of the ordinary at that time," says Brooks, adding that everyone assumed he was part of a Habitat for Humanity construction crew working nearby.
Bieger's ordeal finally drew to a close on Oct. 30, in the suburb of Carrollton.
Mike Phillips, a construction foreman, spotted a man wandering close to the site where Bieger was having a new home built. Phillips thought the man might be Bieger, but he couldn't be sure.
"Joe, Joe!" Phillips yelled, and then asked the man if he knew his name.
Bieger replied that his name must be Joe.
Did he know his last name? Phillips asked.
"No, I don't guess I do," Bieger said.
As the two men spoke, memories slowly came back, Bieger says. It took about two hours to come out of the fog.
"It wasn't instantaneous," Bieger says. "Over some period of time I began to realize who I was."
In September, before he wandered off, he had experienced two episodes of amnesia that lasted only a few hours, and so his wife of 37 years, Patricia, had an idea of what happened to him after he vanished. She says that during the ordeal, she always believed her husband was alive.
Nevertheless, "there were days when I just wanted to give up," she says. The Sunday before he was found was her lowest point. "I said, "Lord, I can't do this anymore. You just have to send my husband home,"' she says.
Dana Ames, director of a search team that looked for Bieger, says: "We knew that his intellect should still be intact, so his survival skills were going to kick in and it was a matter of time to find him."
No one seems to know exactly how many others are afflicted with psychogenic fugues, or what the precise underlying causes are. Victims may lose all memory of themselves, family or friends, but otherwise seem to function normally and can perform routine tasks. Many experience an urge to move constantly from place to place. Most victims eventually regain their memories, though it can take days and sometimes years.
Psychogenic fugues can be triggered by stress or unresolved conflict, according to experts. But Dr. John Hart Jr., president of the behavioral neurology section of the American Academy of Neurology, says researchers are trying to determine why some people might be more susceptible than others.
"It's among the rarest of the dissociative disorders," says Dr. David Spiegel, associate chairman of psychiatry at Stanford University.
Bieger's return to the Highlands School, a 400-student Roman Catholic institution, was marked by a student assembly and tears of joy.
"Just to see him and see that he was OK, the children were euphoric," says Denise Funke, a coordinator at the school.

Lock Bumping and Bump Keys
See video of news story on lock bumping: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hr23tpWX8lM
Lockpicks See Security Flaw in Most Locks
As lockpicking gains traction as a hobby, a surprisingly easy new technique has been circulating online and among hackers.
By Brian Braiker
How many locks figure prominently in your daily routine? Maybe one or two to get you into your house or apartment? One for your office, your car and your mailbox? Once you turn the key, chances are you feel pretty secure. That's what locks do, after all, they keep things shut; they keep you protected. How naive.
A large majority of locks that open with a key, called pin tumbler locks, have structural weaknesses built into them that can be exploited with picks and practice. But a relatively new lockpicking technique known as "bumping" takes advantage of that weakness and requires no real understanding of how locks work. "You don't need expensive tools or anything," says encryption expert Barry Wels. "Any 15-year-old who's motivated can learn how to do it in 15 minutes on the Internet."
Wels ought to know. He heads The Open Organization of Lockpickers (TOOOL), which bills itself "the most well-behaved sporting association in the Netherlands." He picks locks, he says, not with criminal intent, but more in the spirit of puzzle-solving. One man's pin tumbler, it seems, is another's Rubik's Cube. In fact, lockpicking as a hobby has developed a substantial worldwide following in recent years, thanks mostly to the unprecedented availability of information online and geek charisma of polymaths like Wels (whose nickname is The Key, natch). Enthusiasts share tips and engage in flamewars at lockpicking101.com; they attend Locksport International meetings and post videos on YouTube.
For more tangible evidence of sport-picking's growth, consider a recent Friday afternoon. Wels delivered a lecture on lockpicking last month at an occasionally occurring hackers' convention called HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) in New York's Pennsylvania Hotel. Despite seeming a little, well, analog for a hackers' convention, the lockpicking discussion felt perfectly in tune with the weekend's ethos. "Old school, new school: we do it all," says Eric Corley (also known by the hacker pseudonym Emmanuel Goldstein), the founder and editor of 2600 magazine, which hosts the conference. The three-day affair drew some 2,500 technology enthusiasts together to consider such diverse topics as "biometrics in science fiction," how to decipher barcodes with the naked eye and why Macromedia Flash "sucks for advertisers." But none of HOPE's lectures attracted quite the crowd that Wels's did.
And few were as sobering. The bulk of the talk—which Wels cohosted with Marc Tobias, a lawyer, technical-fraud expert and author—was devoted to bumping. They explained how most locks can be bumped open with any key that fits that lock, but does not open it. If, for example, you live in an apartment complex, chances are your key will fit into (but not open) the doors to other units in your building. Similarly, if you open your mailbox with a key, your key will probably fit into other mailboxes not just in your building but on your block—even though postal locks are uniquely designed and protected under federal law. Wels and Tobias demonstrated that by modifying the key, that key could be used as a universal "bump key" for any lock it will fit into. To say nothing of breaking and entering, "this was made for identity theft," explains Tobias. "The U.S. Postal Service's worst nightmare is Ted Kaczynski with a bump key."
(A caveat for those taking notes at home: NEWSWEEK is intentionally omitting specific details about how to make, and use, bump keys. But as our reporter learned from the HOPE conference and interviews, they are very easy to make using readily available tools. No lock is perfect. Bumping, which takes its name from how the key actually undoes a lock, is simply easier to master than picking locks and, if done well, can leave very little trace behind. The principle that makes it possible is as old as Newtonian physics.)
Tobias demonstrated the technique to the U.S. Postal Service, hoping to convey the potential threat to millions of mailboxes nationwide (and push for legislation that would outlaw shipping bump keys through the mail, which is currently legal). The Postal Service subsequently examined their inventory to see how vulnerable their locks are, according to spokesman Bob Anderson. "The engineering and inspection services have identified some security issues," he tells NEWSWEEK. "We see it as a potential threat. We have identified where the risks are, but we have no recorded incidents of people reporting a bumping." Anderson declined to elaborate what vulnerabilities were discovered and what steps were being taken to remedy them.
Others are less concerned, at least publicly. "We've been around for 26 years and this is not a problem," says Richard Hallabrin, corporate spokesman for Mail Boxes Etc., the world's largest franchisor of retail mailboxes. "If people continue to go out to the media and say, 'Here's how you break into any lock,' yeah, there's going to be an increase." Fair point, but the information is already available to anyone with an Internet connection. "Lockpicking information until very recently has been hidden not from the bad guys, but from us, the consumers," says security guru and author Bruce Schneier, a cryptographer with enough clout to get a little shout out in Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." "There's no economic motivator for anyone to make a better lock because you, the consumer, don't know [how vulnerable your lock really is]."
There are ways to improve upon locks, says Schneier. He points to the auto industry, which has an incentive to build cars that are tougher to break into. "If your car is easier to steal, your insurance will be more [expensive]," he points out. So automakers have begun equipping cars with locks that open only with the swipe of a card or in close proximity to a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip.
Perhaps surprisingly, Clyde Roberson, the technical director at Medeco High Security Locks (which are praised by lock aficionados as being virtually unpickable), tends to agree with Schneier. "Bumping is real. It is a vulnerability," he concedes. "Do I think lots of guys are running around bumping locks to get into mailboxes? No. Do you publicize it knowing people may take advantage of it so that you can educate people? I don't know what the answer is."
It's an interesting ethical question. But while the experts ponder it, the curious can find the information they need with a quick Google search. The pressure, say Schneier and Tobias, should be on the lock manufacturers to do something about it.

How to Freeze Whole Peaches & Plums
Freezing fresh peaches and plums allows you to have fresh, juicy fruits available during any season for use in pies, cobblers or simply for a healthy snack. Most fruits, including plums and peaches, will maintain their quality and freshness for eight to 12 months when stored properly in a freezer at zero degrees Fahrenheit or below, according to the Colorado State University Extension. Choose peaches and plums that are fully ripe before preparing them for freezing.
Video of the Day
Freezing Peaches
Step 1
Wash fresh, ripe peaches in cool water, gently rubbing the skins to help remove bacteria from the skin.
Step 2
Pack the whole peaches into plastic containers large enough to allow 1/2 inch to 1 inch of space between the fruit and the lid.
Step 3
Cover peaches with an ascorbic acid mixture containing 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid for every quart of water. For a syrup pack, prepare a mixture of 4 cups of water, 3 cups of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid, and cover the peaches with the syrup. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, helps preserve the fruit's color and flavor.
Step 4
Seal the plastic containers and place in the freezer immediately after packing.
Freezing Plums
Step 1
Wash the plums by rubbing the skins gently under cool running water.
Step 2
Pack whole plums in plastic containers, leaving 1/2 inch to 1 inch of space between the fruit and the top of the container.
Step 3
Add a syrup mixture of 3 cups of sugar to 4 cups of water to cover the plums if you desire. Adding ascorbic acid (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the syrup mixture will improve the quality of the fruit. Packing plums in syrup isn't necessary; they'll freeze fine simply by freezing the whole fruit.
Step 4
Place lids on plastic containers and freeze immediately at zero degrees Fahrenheit or below.

Let the Bullets Fly (US - BD RA)
Gabe takes a look at Jiang Wen's Sergio Leone meets Stephen Chow mega-hit...
1920s China is a lawless land. Corrupt government officials buy and sell their positions, while marauding gangs of bandits roam the countryside. One of the most feared is the Mah-jongg Gang, led by the infamous and hyper-intelligent Pocky Zhang (Jiang Wen). Zhang and his gang execute a routine train robbery, but find the train doesn't contain any silver, just a petty con artist named Tang (Ge You). Tang is on his way to 'Goose Town', where he's bought himself a position as governor, which he plans to use to bilk as much as he can from the citizens as he can before moving on to the next town. Desperate to survive, Tang convinces Zhang that if he will spare him, Zhang can assume the position of Governor instead… and with Tang as his counselor, he can make more money in a month than a he could in a year's worth of train robberies. Zhang, intrigued and looking for a break from the road, accepts. They arrive at Goose Town, but find that the entire town is already firmly under the iron rule of the wealthy Master Huang (Chow Yun-Fat), whose charming exterior conceals a ruthless, conniving crime lord. Huang and Zhang immediately sense the threat the other poses, and begin an escalating series of hyper-violent (and often hilarious) mind-games, while the devious Tang tries to play both sides.
I'm going to start this review on a bit of a tangent. It has been a long time since Chow Yun-Fat fans have had much reason to celebrate. Since he turned a semi-successful Hollywood entity he's appeared in one genuinely great film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Otherwise, his unique charms have been wasted on disappointing ( Curse of the Golden Flower), mediocre ( The Replacement Killers) and downright terrible films ( Bulletproof Monk). Often his effortless talents mark him as a shining beacon of light in even the worst of his output ( Dragonball Evolution, seriously, he's great in that hunk o' junk), but I think I can speak for most fans when I say a good performance in a good film is preferable to a good performance in a bad film. It seems that it's time for the superstar Hong Kong actors and directors of the late '80s and early '90s period to start making good movies again. In 2008 John Woo returned to China and made up for nearly a decade of Hollywood mediocrity with his two-part epic Red Cliff. Choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping returned to the director's chair for the first time in since 1996 for the flawed, but entertaining True Legend. Then in 2010, Tsui Hark returned to form with Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, one of the most genuinely entertaining comedic genre mash-ups since Kim Ji-woon's The Good, the Bad, the Weird.
Let the Bullets Fly is not as 'forgive the last decade' good as Red Cliff or Detective Dee, but it certainly is the best film on Chow's CV since Crouching Tiger, and is the best use of his particular brand of star power since Hard Boiled. Chow sort of plays two roles here (basically the same character since one is trained to be an assassination deterring double of the other early in the film), but is part of such a massive ensemble cast that there isn't quite enough room to really consider this some kind of full-on comeback. Actor turned co-writer/director Jiang Wen casts himself in the central role, and is wise to play the straight man to a sea of comic relief, which mostly includes Chow, apart from some well-earned gravitas at the end of the film. However, both Chow and Jiang lose the battle for the audience's heart to Ge You, who regularly serves up the biggest laughs, both broad and understated. It's a little unfair, though, as Ge's haircut alone could overwhelm even the most beloved, Oscar winning performances.
As a director Jiang has thus far been quite successful making critically acclaimed, relatively mellow, and generally humourless movies. Most recently he made the beautifully bland The Sun Also Rises, and the first, most depressingly stodgy section of the generally terrible romantic anthology New York, I Love You. I haven't seen either of his award winning early films, 1994's In the Heat of the Sun or 2000's Devils on the Doorstep, but based on their descriptions neither sounds as if they have much in common with the zany extremes of Let the Bullets Fly. The film opens with an almost literal bang, establishing Jiang's manic pace, epic scope, and silly tone. Though I suppose some viewers accustomed to Hollywood-level digital effects will have issues with the action scenes, it's the tone that will make or break the film for most viewers. The comedy here swings pretty broad, like, Stephen Chow with a budget, broad. There are obvious comparisons to draw between Let the Bullets Fly and Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, in terms of both the gangland settings (Jiang's film takes place in the '20s, Chow's in the '40s), and the mixed screwball and slapstick comedy stylings. Both films feature serious, and even frightening moments, but are overall unmistakably comedies in the Chinese tradition, including plenty of sudden side treks into utter absurdity. The graphic nature of the violence will also flip some Western viewers, who likely won't expect heaping portions of gore with their slapstick entertainment. Me? I found the grue a worthy cherry atop the broad comedy, and didn't really find it out of step with the generally light-hearted comedic scope.
The production, art, and costume designs are all hyper-vibrant in the tradition of just about every Asian action comedy I've seen in the past decade, but the familiarity doesn't diminish the buoyant effect. If I were to compare the imagery here to anything it would be spaghetti western inspired mash-ups like Takashi Miike's lower budgeted Sukiyaki Western Django, and especially Kim Ji-woon's aforementioned The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Jiang also takes some pretty obvious inspiration from Sergio Leone, and though he doesn't quite have the skill for old fashion rollicking cinema Kim does, he manages quite well with hyper-stylized, decorative, and amusingly anachronistic visuals. The action isn't nearly as wall-to-wall as the American trailer would imply, but the final act, which is basically one extended action climax, is consistently exciting and inventive. The tempo of the screwball dialogue is a bit exhausting, especially for a person that doesn't speak Mandarin. My eyes were burning as I tried to keep up with the subtitles. In terms of comedy the speed plays (anyone that can keep up with a Stephen Chow film can keep up here), but when plot points are involved the quick cutting is a dizzying problem, and easily the key problem with the entire production. I did found myself mostly acclimated to the editing practices by the end of the film, but it is a problem, especially considering the scope of the story and sheer number of characters and double-crosses to keep track of. I hesitate to say there's too much plot here, mostly because it makes me sound like an idiot, but there's so much going on I found that narrative developments occasionally went unnoticed.
Well Go USA continues its streak of good but uneven Blu-ray transfers with this 1080p, 2.35:1 release. This time around, I'm not entirely sure the shortcomings are a part of the original footage, which appears to be digital, not film based. Director Jiang Wen and cinematographer Zhao Fei do not scrimp on the colour pallet, which is largely made up of warm, glowing golds, rich reds, poppy greens, and soft blues. The sheer vibrancy of these hues mixed with some soft lighting leads to some fuzzy glowing edges, though these appear to be among the intended artefacts. What may not have been intended are some blown out and blooming white levels, but I'm still left with no real point of reference. The extreme colour schemes are consistently well separated without any noticeable banding effects. My problems with this transfer pertain mostly to the quantity of digital noise, which may have been an intended effect – there aren't any obvious compression effects or blocking – but looks a bit off to my eye. The busy backgrounds dance with the stuff, though I'm still plenty able to make out important fine detail on those occasions Zhao doesn't pull the focus too far forward. The more extreme contrast levels of darker, wide set scenes feature noticeable haloes, though nothing quite on par with Well Go's unattractive Ip Man release. I also noticed jittering effects throughout the film, but also think these are part of Jiang's master plan.
If you're going to call your film Let the Bullets Fly you'd better come correct in the sound design department. This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack (original Mandarin, of course) does, indeed, come correct, and I'm unable to find anything to complain about in terms of its activity and clarity. There's a distinct lack of ambience during dialogue heavy sequences, which is a little disappointing, but there are no issues with distortion, and the centered dialogue isn't ever left flat or thin. The action sequences are the obvious standouts, and the action sequences featuring gunplay standout strongest of all. Every channel is busy with gunplay or the aftereffects of the gunplay, but things rarely turn to noisy mush. Dynamic levels are sharply maintained, and the directional movement makes more than enough sense. Fist fights and acrobatic feats feature plenty of directionally enhanced whoosh and zip, and the clang of metal is crisp. There's also a fun aural motif involving birdcalls as coded battlefield communication that sets some of the more bombastic sequences apart. The LFE gets a really heavy workout thanks to the hard, echoing bass levels used for everything from gunshots to stabbing effects, giant drums, and thundering horse hooves. Joe Hisaishi and Shu Nan's score is a little underutilized and repetitive, but effectively undercuts the tension of the action. The music is usually a bit too low on the track to really make out, but does include a myriad of aggressive Taiko drums throughout.
Well Go USA is releasing Let the Bullets Fly in both a collector's edition and standard format. I received the standard edition with features only trailers for future Well Go releases, and a DVD copy of the film.
Let the Bullets Fly would make a solid double feature with Sergio Leone's generally underappreciated Duck You Sucker, as both films track the journey of a bandit turned reluctant revolutionary in a stylistic and largely comedic manner. Of course, Duck You Sucker was a pretty famous financial failure, and Let the Bullets Fly is the highest grossing, domestically made film in Chinese history (not adjusted for inflation), only surpassed by (sigh) Avatar in terms of total box office receipts. Maybe Leone was ahead of his time and released his film in the wrong country. This Blu-ray release has some minor video issues (which may not be the disc's problem at all), a nearly perfect DTS-HD MA soundtrack, and no extras outside of trailers.

Faithless split
- Bang Showbiz
- 17 March 2011
Dance group Faithless have announced they are splitting up after their current tour
Faithless are splitting up.
The 'Insomnia' dance group announced they will go their separate ways after 15 years together after their preset tour ends on April 8.
In a statement on their website, singer Maxi Jazz wrote: "After 15 years and six albums I think we've probably made our collective point by now and that it's time to close the book and return to the library.
"We've had, with our fans, the most unbelievable, epic and moving experience, stretching over years and tens of thousands of miles. Joyful, exhilarating and empowering, we never for a moment thought an affair could last this long."
The group is completed by DJ Sister Bliss and producer Rollo, who does not appear with the band for live shows.
Faithless released their first single, 'Salva Mea', in 1995 and quickly became one of the most popular electronic acts in the UK. Their single 'Insomnia' became s a top three hit in 1996 and they had seven top ten hits in total, including 'God Is A DJ' and 'We Come 1'. They group's released their last album 'The Dance' last year.
Continuing his statement, Maxi added: "Like when writing a song, you always just 'know' when it's finished. This is and was the "Thank YOU And Goodbye' tour and to be truthful, I really hope you just pick up the ball of your life.. And RUN WITH IT!! (sic)"
The group will play their final show at London's O2 Academy Brixton on April 8.

The felicitation of former India captain Chandu Borde on his 75th birthday here saw batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar reminiscing his 1989 debut tour of Pakistan where Borde, as the coach, introduced him to the cricketing world.
"Chandu Sir guided me through the difficulties a 16 year old was expected to undergo on his first appearance on a foreign tour. He told me how to improve upon mistakes without disturbing my natural game technique and instincts," Tendulkar said last night, in an overwhelming expression of gratitude to Borde, who served Indian cricket in various capacities.
Tendulkar recalled Borde's contribution to his shaping as a cricketer on the debut tour and said the gentle way in which the former all-rounder gave him useful tips in the nets boosted his confidence.
"What Chandu Sir did for me then came from his passion for the game. He never expected any public acknowledgment of what he did for me or wished for anything in return," said international cricket's most prolific scorer.
The blaster further went on to recount the more recent stint of Borde, one of the most valuable all-rounders of the Indian Test squad from 1958 to 1970, as an administrator when he accompanied the Indian team as manager for the 2007 tour of England.
"We needed somebody who could calm the nerves and Chandu sir did exactly that. He played a big role in our success in the 2007 Ireland and England tour. We should remember that although credit for victories is given to cricketers, there are many like him who give the backroom support," Tendulkar said.
Former Indian captain Ajit Wadekar hailed Borde's "selfless" spirit of the game, saying he "gave me confidence" on many occasions during my playing days.
Bapu Nadkarni, former Test player and Borde's contemporary, said cricket was embedded in Borde's blood.
"You ask him to execute an on-drive and a square cut and even today he would do it in a copy book style," he said.
In his reply, Borde recalled how he had failed to perform in his first two Test matches.
"My career was at stake. I prayed to god in a hotel room in Chennai during course of the Test. That sincere prayer and faith in god proved to be the turning point in my life as I progressed, making a century in the next Test," said Borde, who also served as the chief selector of Indian cricket.
Among those who spoke at the function, organised by the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) included film actor Nana Patekar and retired justice Chandrashekhar Dharmadhikari.

MAHOPAC, N.Y. -- Victor J. Faggella of Mahopac, formerly of Yorktown Heights, died on April 11. He was 87.

If Selma Blair's turn playing Kris Kardashian on American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson had audiences wondering why they hadn't seen more of the actress in recent years, the answer's simple: she's been having too much fun playing a later-in-life mom to her son Arthur Saint.
"I've been very much hunkered up at home," Blair, 43, told PEOPLE while attending the 15th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, a charity event spearheaded by her close friend Rebecca Gayheart, confessing that she's simply been loving being a mom "every day."
"I'm up at 5:45, I'm playing Candy Land by 5:47," she jokes. "I remind myself every moment, I think, because I did have my child later than a lot of people have children. So I've had a whole life to live and realize the grass isn't always greener. I just need more sleep, but I do appreciate every moment."

Her son — whose father is fashion designer Jason Bleick — turns 5 in July.
"Being a single mom, at first it's a very challenging thing," Blair admits. "But to have that much time with him, just the two of us, has been an incredible life-changing experience. And I do not take it lightly — my gratitude."
Lately, she's especially been enjoying watching her adventurous son's sense of humor develop. "He gets sarcastic, which no one should get because sarcasm isn't great, but I have it in abundance, so I'm so grateful he's my son," she says.
"He gets it. He gives me lots of hugs and kisses and tells me he hopes I live a long time, even though I'm old. That's his new thing to say before bed. We say our prayers, and then he says, 'I hope Mommy lives a long time, even though she's so old.' "
Less fun for Blair is figuring out how to discipline her son. "I love him within an inch of his life, and I think sometimes you can think things are funny that aren't," she explains. "I hand it to moms that really know how to have a boundary early on, and that's something really in this past year I've really had to be really strong about: a boundary. Because we're buddies, we live in the same house. But no: 'We're not buddies. I'm your mom, and I'm here to teach you.'
"When he does something horrible but funny, it's usually directed at me," she adds. "So I kind of laugh, but then I realize, 'Oh no, I can't let him go out in the world and treat people like this!' I'm the lightning rod for what he does. So I've really toned it down. He's pretty strongly disciplined now, and it breaks my heart, but I know it's for the best. I have to."
Selma Blair/Instagram
After a toe-dip back to work with American Crime Story, Blair was thrilled with her experience throughout the project, and came away especially re-inspired about her craft.
"I always knew Sarah Paulson was incredible, but it's like 'Okay, this is what it is to love acting.' This woman loves acting and really, really is in it. It's hard for me to go to work. I'm tired and I have my kid on my own," she says. "Watching Sarah Paulson is like, 'Oh! Oh, I've got to get good. I only have one life to live. I better figure out how to do this.' "
And the former Cruel Intentions star is hitting the town again, arriving at the Butterfly Ball looking elegant in a flowing black gown with purple and lavender stripes that made its way to her earlier in the day.
"It's Christian Siriano, a dear friend of mine, and he sent this to me this morning because I didn't have anything to wear," Blair reveals. "I was like, 'Help your friend out!' And he did. He sent beautiful dresses, so I went for a gown because I think if something's called 'the Ball,' you should dress up."

US sees no link in UN votes by Zimbabwe to cut in aid
State Department officials maintained Tuesday that recent votes by Zimbabwe at the UN had nothing to do with a cut in US aid to the African nation to $40 million in the current fiscal year, about half the figure originally envisaged.
Zimbabwe recently cosponsored a UN resolution criticizing US intervention in Grenada and abstained on a US-sponsored resolution criticizing the Soviet Union for shooting down a South Korean jetliner. The State Department said the cuts were necessary after Congress appropriated less aid than had been requested.

Selected USGS Surface-Water Programs & Activities
Flood Inundation Mapping Science
A powerful new tool for flood response and mitigation are digital geospatial flood-inundation maps that show flood water extent and depth on the land surface.
National Streamflow Information Program (NSIP)
The USGS operates and maintains approximately 7,500 streamgages which provide long-term, accurate, and unbiased information on streamflow to meet the needs of many diverse users.
National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) Program
The NSS Program is a desktop computer program that replaces the National Flood Frequency Program (NFF) to provide simple methods of estimating streamflow statistics for ungaged sites that are needed for planning, regulatory, and design purposes. The NSS program contains regression equations for estimating peak-flow and low-flow magnitudes and frequencies, flow-duration discharges, and other statistics. User input of the basin characteristics used as explanatory variables in the equations is required to obtain the flow estimates. Equations for estimating peak-flow statistics are available nationally. Availability of equations for estimating other statistics varies by State.
StreamStats is a Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) that provides users with access to an assortment of analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering design applications, such as the design of bridges.
The USGS has been involved in developing and using acoustic flow measurement technology since the late 1960s to improve the accuracy of an efficiency of streamflow measurements.
USGS Office of Global Change: Welcome
What is Climate Change? The USGS strives to understand how the earth works and to anticipate changes in how the earth functions. To accomplish this, USGS science aims to understand the interrelationships among earth surface processes, ecological systems, and human activities. This includes understanding current changes in the context of pre-historic and recent earth processes, distinguishing between natural and human-influenced changes, and recognizing ecological and physical responses to changes in climate.
Storm-Tide Monitoring
The USGS developed a mobile storm-surge network to capture information of the timing, extent, and magnitude of storm tide.
Watershed Modeling
Modeling of watershed response to normal and extreme climatic conditions or to changes in the physical conditions of a watershed requires the simulation of a variety of complex hydrologic processes and process interactions.

Gold Redux
Posted on Aug. 30, 2013, 5:27 p.m.I like to revisit past write ups from time to time. TOday, I got a question again about Gold. So, instead of rewriting it up I will simply point you to the last two write ups which still apply today:
1) late in May: (hopefully you listened and stayed away from long trades in Gold)
2) Late in July:
Notice here on the bottom chart how the crayon nailed the pattern that followed exactly.


text: Some more assembled troops. I'm more and more fond of these. Although the poses are rather stiff to make good hand weapon armed archers they do look when grouped together, like they're about to recieve a charge. I didn't add the stakes to the bases but rather but them on seperate bases. Make them more flexible in use. Made some as broken too look like someone crashed thtough the stakes and added some axes hacked into the stakes as left there in a hurry or easy to access weapon. Also made some knight shields for my archers, I mean why not? ;) Faced with armoured french knights I would guess they will go to far extent too have some chance of survival through a good solid shield. Perhaps given to them by and english knight. The plasticard was first cut out, filed and the bent in different ways to fit in the medieval period.

Library instruction, also known as information literacy or Bibliographic Instruction, BI, is an important part of the library's mission. Developing the skills needed to locate, evaluate and effectively incorporate new information is a life-long challenge and an important part of the education experience.
Library Instruction works well when presented in conjunction with a specific assignment so that the librarian can focus the instruction on particular sources, abstracts, indexes, electronic resources, and other types of informational materials that are used in the research and writing process. Library instruction is offered as part of the FYS101 Seminar in Critical Thinking class and in any other courses. The library will offer sessions to help students refine research skills or introduce a new resource.
Contact Joel Langford, Director of Library Services, at 770-720-5585 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
BIs last 40 to 50 minutes and typically include a PowerPoint and/or live/hands-on demonstration. Time is allotted afterwards for some practice work and some one-on-one instruction.

In fact, we may as well just throw all of Miranda out, now that this has happened. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/17/supreme-court-silence_n_3453968.html http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...SILENCE?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT If silence pre-Mirandizing can be used, but silence after can not, how could one determine guilt? I really don't get this one, but the conservative justices in this one really opened a can of worms, in making any questioning prior to being Mirandized usable in court. What is now to stop the police from breaking someone down into confession for something, then Mirandizing him, and then using the evidence pre-Miranda in court? BL.

The classroom is an opportune place
for students to build relationships and trust through Dialogue, beginning
with compassionate listening to one another's personal stories.
In May, 2003, three participants from a Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group were invited to model and facilitate a new kind of school experience for a Senior Seminar in Communication at Notre Dame de Namur University.
That day in Belmont, Calif. revealed a way in which a rarely-experienced depth of human relationship could be achieved in a classroom of students from diverse backgrounds in a rather short time, even 2-1/2 hours.
Such an event is only a beginning, of course, for Dialogue must be Sustained Dialogue to truly transform relationships.
Yet, two students who had been alienated all school year did drift back together at the end of the class period, and others were moved -- some to tears -- from experiencing this contrast to how little we usually settle for in daily human interaction.
Photos are on the Web at https://pix.sfly.com/XPsrOusQ .
We hope this helps you to introduce Dialogue into any situation where it could help people connect.
Below is the flow of the morning. It will remain on the Web at http://traubman.igc.org/class.htm .
Story as entry to relationship transformation
A 2-1/2 hour classroom experience of Dialogue
8:00-8:05 a.m. -- Course instructor
Welcome the class.
Present an overview of the morning.
Introduce the Dialogue facilitator fully.
8:05-8:15 a.m. -- Dialogue facilitator from the Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group
Describe the history, contemporary context, and principles and qualities of Dialogue.
Introduce the Palestinian and Jewish exemplars.
8:15-8:40 a.m. -- Palestinian, Jewish exemplars
The Palestinian and the Jew listen to one another's life story, in about six minutes each.
Each expresses back to the other the essence of the story she or he heard.
Each describes what she or he "realized" by listening with new ears to the other's narrative.
8:40-9:00 a.m. -- Class, with Facilitator
Dialogue and interact with the exemplars and one another.
Reflect on how you experienced the exemplars.
What did you realize and observe? What are your questions or statements?
9:00-9:35 a.m. -- Class, with Facilitator guiding and timing
Pair yourselves in twos, perhaps with another you're not likely to choose on campus.
Listen to each other's stories -- 15 minutes each.
Allow ten minutes of uninterrupted speaking, then five minutes responding to the listener's questions.
"This interests me. Can you say more about it?"
9:35-9:55 a.m. -- Class, with Facilitator
Gather the class into the full group.
"What did you "realize" from the experience and the story you heard?"
"What did you see about 'unheard stories' in general?"
9:55-10:20 a.m. -- Two students, with some Facilitator encouragement
Ask for one of the student pairs to volunteer to be exemplars in front of the class.
Ask them to introduce one another to the class by repeating the stories they heard.
Each partner "fills in" missing parts to illustrate what's unheard, misunderstood, or forgotten.
10:20-10:25 a.m. -- Dialogue facilitator
Point out principles, using charts, to ground in theory and visuals what the class just experienced.
Point out that this is how everyone in schools, homes, businesses, and regions in conflict could relate.
Until now, we've settled for far too little in our relationships.
We are learning to humanize our relationships and conflicts.
10:25-10:30 a.m. -- Instructor, class, facilitator, and Dialogue exemplars
Close with a circle and affirmation of each other and the day, if appropriate.

reflecting personal stories back to one another is at:

In Japan's hobby robot circles, Naoki Maru is a respected name. He has won the Robo-One fighting tournament more times than I can count, and now he has a new version of his legendary pugilist King Kizer.
Maru and his son recently showed off a kid-sized edition of the robot with a new master-slave control system. Inspired by the film "Real Steel," Maru's Real King Kizer wowed fans at an Osaka robot festival that wrapped up earlier this week.
Using a Kinect-style Xtion Pro Live sensor, the 3-foot, 2-inch Kizer reproduces the movements of Maru's son, who controlled the machine while Maru explained how it works.
The Maru team first implemented their master-slave control system on Kizer some years ago and has used it many times to pilot the bruiser to victory in Robo-One bouts.
The latest version, however, frees the pilot from a physical harness thanks to the Xtion sensor, which is a full-body motion-capture system.
Check out in the video below, in which Maru and his son put Kizer through its paces, going toe-to-toe with a punching bag and then practicing with the mitts.
Kizer may be a featherweight now, but who knows what it could do with a bit of motivation and the "Rocky" soundtrack?

It's written for the person who is scratching their head regarding what PIM is all about. Link It doesn't have all of the charts and stuff some people have that goes far beyond an introductory article that loses you in the first four paragraphs. Here is another one from Forward Link. It's called Understand PIM 101, but it may be a little bit too much to digest if you're just starting out unless you can easily understand this: F4 = F2 + (F2 - F1) = 2F2 - F1 .

Fantastic Four Vs. Super-Skrull
This is a commission I got through my association with John Byrne from Greg Goldstein at IDW back in August 2012. Mr Byrne doesn't care for colorholds (tinting the lineart), so it made for an interesting gig. This is the first time it's being seen in public.
