Beyond the Hills is less fun than any film about lesbian nuns and their psychotic ex-lovers ought to be. But it is an engrossingly serious work, and confirms Mungiu as a maturing talent with more universal stories to tell than those defined by Romania's recent political past.
Read Full Review
It's tempting to see Beyond the Hills solely as an indictment of religion, but the film is more ambitious than that. Ignorance and superstition aren't confined to the convent; people in town, including the cops, drop casual references to witchcraft as if it were part of everyday life. The broader subject is possession by primitive ideas.
Beyond the Hills is an arthouse film from Romania, yet, in its slow, lurching progress toward a tragic exorcism, it is a stylistic nephew of America's "The Exorcist."
Of all the movies culminating in a rite of exorcism, Romanian writer-director Cristian Mungiu's remarkable Beyond the Hills stands alone.

Ubaldo hopes performance makes U-turn
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It was mostly quiet at the Indians' Spring Training complex on Sunday morning, but pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez made a point of stopping by to get in a quick workout. Jimenez is doing everything possible to correct all that went wrong last season.
"Hopefully this year is going to be different," Jimenez said. "Last year my mechanics were terrible. It was a mess."
During the offseason, in the Dominican Republic, Jimenez once again worked out regularly with Nelson Perez, a strength coach for the Indians. New manager Terry Francona and pitching coach Mickey Callaway also made trips to the D.R. to get a first-hand look at the pitcher and to begin establishing a rapport.
Jimenez appreciates that Francona and Callaway went to see him, and was impressed with Francona's efforts to reach out to Cleveland players since being hired in October.
"Definitely, that says something about him," Jimenez said. "That shows the kind of person that he is. He wants to be there for everybody. When he was named the manager, he sent me a text message, and I know he did the same with all the guys. He really wants to establish a relationship with all the players."
In 2012 the 29-year-old Jimenez went 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA in 31 outings (176 2/3 innings), with 143 strikeouts, 95 walks and 16 wild pitches. In parts of two years with the Tribe, the right-hander has gone 13-21 with a 5.32 ERA in 42 appearances.
General manager Chris Antonetti expressed faith in Jimenez's ability to smooth out his mechanics.
"I think he still has great stuff and the ability to be a very effective Major League starting pitcher," Antonetti said. "But as we've talked about, the thing that's the key for him is consistency. It starts with his ability to execute his delivery consistently.
"I know he and Mickey have already spent time together this winter. Mickey feels like [Jimenez] is in a better spot now, and Ubaldo feels he's in a better spot now than he was at this point last year. Hopefully that leads to more success."

The raging Rim Fire that's been burning out of control in Tuolumne County for a week forced California Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency 150 miles away in San Francisco.
Brown said he declared the emergency because the wildfires have caused damage to electrical infrastructure serving the City and County of San Francisco. San Francisco has been forced to shut down two of its three hydroelectric power stations in the area, and further disruptions or damage could have an effect on the power supply.
New numbers from the fire line Saturday showed the fire did not grow much overnight, and stood at 125,620 acres. But, it is still considered a firestorm that is raging out of control. Crews reported only five-percent containment.
The fire now covers nearly 200 square miles, or more than four times the size of San Francisco.
Fire officials said the effort this weekend is focused on holding the fire east of the north fork of the Tuolumne River. Crews are also trying to strengthened fire lines above the community of Pine Mountain Lake to save home and along the eastern edge of the fire which has crossed into Yosemite National Park to save a "national treasure." (See new fireline map below).
In Gov. Brown's emergency declaration statement for San Francisco read in part that the fires "now threaten damage to property, equipment, and resources of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission."
Brown declared it an "imminent threat to critical infrastructure assets."
The fire threatens both power and water supply to San Francisco.
The city gets 85 percent of its water from the Yosemite-area Hetch Hetchy reservoir. So far, the water quality has not been impacted by the fire.
The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is east of the fire area. There is fear that ash from the water could impact water quality or the water supply system.
Thousands of Residents Threatened
On Friday, officials also issued new voluntary evacuation orders to the towns of Tuolumne City and Ponderosa Hills. Both are about five miles from the fire line, Forest Service spokesman Jerry Snyder said.
A mandatory evacuation order remained in effect for part of Pine Mountain Lake, a summer gated community a few miles from the fire.
"It feels a little bit like a war zone, with helicopters flying overhead, bombers dropping retardant and 10 engine companies stationed on our street,'' said Ken Codeglia, a Pine Mountain Lake resident who defied evacuation orders of his community. "But if the fire gets very hot and firefighters evacuate, I will run with them.''
Although Pine Mountain Lake and other communities are threatened by the fire, within Yosemite the blaze is burning in a remote area and is not threatening the famed Yosemite Valley.
While Yosemite remains open, the wildfire caused the closure of a 4-mile stretch of State Route 120, one of three entrances into Yosemite on the west side, devastating areas that rely on tourism. Only one campground, Hodgdon Meadow, was closed, according to the National Park Service website.
"Usually during summer, it's swamped with tourists, you can't find parking downtown,'' said Christina Wilkinson, who runs Groveland's social media pages and lives in Pine Mountain Lake. "Now, the streets are empty. All we see is firefighters, emergency personnel and fire trucks.''
So far, no one has been hurt and only 16 structures -- four of them homes -- have burned despite the massive size.
Still, the rugged terrain and hot weather conditions have proved to be terribly difficult for nearly 2,000 firefighters trying to contain the blaze located on the mountain rims of the Stanislaus National Forest. Until Friday, the fire had stayed on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park.
The flames were continuing east, with San Jose Family Camp and Camp Tawonga still in the path of the fire as it moves of the middle fork of the Tuoloumne River Canyon, according to the U.S. Forest Service and CalFire.
More than 4,500 residences are threatened.
"The biggest challenge is the fire itself," Lee Bentley of the U.S. Forest Service told NBC Bay Area on Thursday. "It's just too doggone dangerous."
- RAW VIDEO: Rim Fire Rages Near Yosemite National Park
And several communities had been asked to voluntarily leave their homes.
"I'm a little shook up," said Groveland, Calif. resident Fred Faiella who had to find a safe place to sleep. "But it's in God's hands. I just gotta let what happens, happen."
For the last week, camps frequented by Bay Area residents such as Camp Tawonga, San Jose Family Camp, Berkeley Tuolumne Camp and San Francisco's Mather Camp were also asked to evacuate and shut down their programs. On Friday, the fire was still actively burning east along the Mather Road and southeast along Pilot Ridge.
NBC Bay Area's Jodi Hernandez and Bay City News and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Article 126: No brown M&M's! (Photo: Mr. T in DC)
Happy New Year, all! I'll be putting up a "Lessons learned in 2011" post soon. In the meantime, here is a taste of things to come.
I can come across as anal retentive, even severely Monk-ish. One reason for the madness: with rare exceptions, I've come to believe that how we do anything is how we do everything.
I'm not alone.
The following is a short excerpt from The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, also reprinted by Tehelka magazine in India. In it, we learn the logic of David Lee Roth's famous obsession with brown M&M's:
Listening to the radio, I heard the story behind rocker David Lee Roth's notorious insistence that Van Halen's contracts with concert promoters contain a clause specifying that a bowl of M&M's has to be provided backstage, but with every single brown candy removed, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation to the band. And at least once, Van Halen followed through, peremptorily cancelling a show in Colorado when Roth found some brown M&M's in his dressing room. This turned out to be, however, not another example of the insane demands of power-mad celebrities but an ingenious ruse.
As Roth explained in his memoir, Crazy from the Heat, "Van Halen was the first band to take huge productions into tertiary, thirdlevel markets.
We'd pull up with nine 18-wheeler trucks, full of gear, where the standard was three trucks, max. And there were many, many technical errors — whether it was the girders couldn't support the weight, or the flooring would sink in, or the doors weren't big enough to move thegear through. The contract rider read like a version of the Chinese Yellow Pages because there was so much equipment, and so many human beings to make it function." So just as a little test, buried somewhere in the middle of the rider, would be article 126, the no-brown-M&M's clause. "When I would walk backstage, if I saw a brown M&M in that bowl," he wrote, "well, we'd line-check the entire production. Guaranteed you're going to arrive at a technical error… Guaranteed you'd run into a problem." These weren't trifles, the radio story pointed out. The mistakes could be lifethreatening. In Colorado, the band found the local promoters had failed to read the weight requirements and the staging would have fallen through the arena
Do you have any similar tests that you've found helpful in business, hiring, life, or love?

A note...
trying to find perfect words to describe to the world what an honor it is to be
the Girlfriend of a United States Marine.. Though it may not seem that
important or even what any one wants to hear it is to many a blessing to have
such a wonderful person to call there own. Someone who will go when duty calls
and still love you being so far away.
Only a very shallow person could say that the Military is no good for you
because its because of the Military (Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force and Coast
Guard) that we stay free to live in this Country. Its not very often I have had
the chance to really thank all the Men and Women who fight for us to be free
but as I sit at my computer and a mind filled with thoughts and eyes filled
with tears I cannot this of any thing else but to say THANK YOU !!
It takes a lot from someone to do such a carriages thing and protect this
country. I am a mother of 2 very small children and from the bottom of my heart
am GRATEFUL for all that you have done THEN, NOW, AND LATER!
Kellie G Comeaux
Lafayette Louisiana
Im Proud of you

We are fascinated by missionary tales of "chance" encounters. Along a lonely road in the African bush, a man suddenly appears and asks a missionary traveler, "Can you tell me who Jesus is?" Luke's account of Philip's divinely guided encounter with the Ethiopian would have been just as fascinating to first-century Romans or Greeks, for in their view Ethiopians lived literally at the southern edge of the earth (Homer Odyssey 1.23--eschatoi andron; see Acts 1:8).
God is actively fulfilling his purposes for the scope of the church's mission (Lk 24:47; Acts 1:8). If it reaches an Ethiopian so soon after its beginning, Theophilus can know for sure that the gospel that is to be preached among all the nations is true. It is for him, and for us too.
This scene is a fitting climax to the Grecian Jewish Christians' mission thrust, for here they complete the geographical aspects of the Acts 1:8 commission: Jerusalem (6:8-8:3), Judea and Samaria (8:4-25) and the ends of the earth (8:26-40). Further, it is a harbinger of the full-fledged Gentile mission to come (Acts 13--28).
Through his angel, God takes the initiative and directs Philip to take the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. The phrase translated south (kata mesembrian) may also be taken temporally, "at noon" (so regularly in the LXX). This would make the command all the more unusual, for few travelers would be on the road in the harsh midday sun. Desert road might be better translated "wilderness road." This fits the topography of the northern route from Jerusalem to Gaza, which was paved (suitable for a carriage), was more direct and had abundant water at Ein Yael (Rapuano 1990:47; contrast Williams 1985:146).
In immediate obedience, with little information but complete trust in the God who guides, Philip sets out. For God to summon Philip from a thriving ministry in Samaria to the wilderness of the Judean hills is not an irrational move. God's goal is not only "quantity" but also "quality," in the sense of an ethnically diverse body of Christ (Rev 5:9). In a day when four of six billion have yet to hear the gospel within their own language and culture, we should not be surprised to see God calling our most effective evangelists to go to remote places. And like Philip, they should obey immediately and unquestioningly.
Philip encounters an Ethiopian eunuch and his retinue. He is at once exotic, powerful and pious. Greeks and Romans were particularly fascinated with dark-skinned Africans (Martin 1989:111; Diodorus Siculus Library of History 3.8.2-3; Strabo Geography 17.2.1-3). Although Ethiopian was used generally for anyone with these physical characteristics, here it refers to an inhabitant of the ancient kingdom of Meroe, which covered what is now northern Sudan south of Aswan to Khartoum (see NIV marginal note; compare Youngblood 1982:193; Crocker 1986). This man is powerful, the chief treasurer of a kingdom wealthy from its iron smelting, gold mining and trading position. It was a conduit for goods from the rest of the continent. Candace, queen of the Ethiopians (better "Queen Mother, ruling monarch of the Ethiopians," since candace is a title, not a proper name), cared for the duties of state. The king was regarded as a god, "child of the sun," too sacred to engage in administration. The candace in this instance was Amanitare (A.D. 25-41; Wead 1982:197; Crocker 1986:67).
Luke does not identify the eunuch as either a proselyte, a Gentile convert to Judaism, or a God-fearer, a Gentile adherent to the Jewish monotheism, ethic and piety (compare Acts 2:11; 6:5; 10:2; 13:26, 43; Levinskaya 1990). He presents him only as pious according to the Jewish faith. The eunuch is returning to Meroe after a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for one of the feasts, and he is sitting in his chariot reading Scripture. The chariot is probably a four-wheeled covered vehicle, like an oxcart, large enough to accommodate the eunuch, his driver, Philip and possibly another servant (who would be reading the manuscript aloud if the official is not doing so himself). The carriage is moving slowly enough to allow for reading and for Philip to approach it on foot. Reading aloud was the common practice in ancient times, and was especially necessary when words were strung together on a manuscript without spacing or punctuation (Bruce 1990:226).
Under the guidance of the Spirit (compare 10:19; 11:12; 13:2, 4; 16:6-7), Philip obediently overcomes any social reticence, approaches the wagon, walks briskly alongside and engages the eunuch in conversation about his reading. Luke consistently tells us that reading and understanding Scripture are not the same thing, especially for those who do not have the hermeneutical key (13:27; compare Lk 6:3; 10:26). Correct spiritual understanding is a gift (8:10; 10:22). The eunuch admits his need. His humble, teachable stance is the essential first step to achieving knowledge of salvation (compare Acts 17:11).
God in his mercy has provided not only the text but also the interpreter, a Spirit-filled teacher. The eunuch urgently, but politely, asks guidance (13:42; 16:9; contrast Lk 6:39). And today these two gifts are still present. Where are those of teachable spirit?
Luke reports that the eunuch was reading the Septuagint of Isaiah 53:7-8 (Acts 8:32-33). Though the wording reflects "a gravely deviant translation" (Archer and Chirichigno 1983:123) at this point, the basic intention of Isaiah is not completely lost (Williams 1985:147). Luke is very interested in the content of this quote, introducing it with a phrase meaning the "content or wording of the passage" (compare v. 35; not passage of Scripture as the NIV). In it we have a description of the innocent, righteous sufferer, the objective basis for vicarious atonement. Luke has already portrayed Jesus in his passion in these terms: silent before authorities (Lk 23:9), deprived of justice, an innocent man condemned (Lk 23:4, 15, 22; 23:47; compare Acts 2:22-23; 3:14), his life taken (Lk 23:18; 22:2; 23:32; compare Acts 2:23; 10:39; 13:28).
The eunuch wants to know whether the prophet is talking about himself or someone else. For the Jew in the first century "someone else" was either the humiliated but vindicated "righteous sufferer" of the apocalyptic and wisdom traditions (Is 53:11; 1 Enoch 46, 62, 63; Wisdom of Solomon 2:12-5:23; Sirach 11:13/Is 52:15; Decock 1981:114). Or, as the targum has it, wicked Gentile nations suffer at the hands of the victorious Messiah, who vindicates his people (Targum of Isaiah 53:7-8; note Israel suffers in Targum of Isaiah 52:14; 53:2, 4, 10, and the wicked Gentile nations in 53:3, 7-9, 11). The messianic interpretation is original with Jesus (Lk 22:37/Is 53:12; Longenecker 1981:364; Bruce 1988:176).
Philip "opened his mouth" (NIV omits this phrase; compare 10:34) and beginning from this passage (compare Lk 24:27) tells the eunuch the good news about Jesus. Christ is the salvific key to the Old Testament. Does Philip simply expound Isaiah 53 and then show the fulfillment in Jesus' life, vicarious death and victorious resurrection/exaltation (see E. F. Harrison 1986:152)? Does he continue a connected exposition through succeeding chapters of Isaiah, dealing with baptism at Isaiah 54:9-10 (compare 1 Pet 3:21) and the new day of salvation at 55:1, to 56:4-8, where a eunuch participates without hindrance in the people of God (Porter 1988)? Does he proceed from Isaiah 53 via early Christian testimonia on the suffering servant and righteous sufferer to show the Ethiopian how Christ and his salvation are preached in all the Scriptures (Is 42:1-44:5; 49:1-13; 50:4-11; Ps 22, 34, 69, 118; Longenecker 1981:365)?
Whatever the method, Philip both answers the eunuch's question and points to Jesus' saving significance. Just as a messenger fresh from the field of battle would "evangelize" the citizens with news of their army's triumph (2 Sam 18:19-20, 26, 31), Philip evangelizes the Ethiopian that Jesus, the righteous sufferer, crucified and risen again, has won the victory over sin and death, and now repentance and forgiveness of sins are available in his name (compare Lk 4:18/Is 61:1; Acts 13:38-39).
Do you want to understand the Old Testament? Stand in the empty tomb, under the shadow of an empty cross, within earshot of the teaching of Jesus and the preaching of the apostles, and read!
When the carriage arrives at some water, the eunuch exclaims, "Behold water! What is hindering me from being baptized?" (NIV Why shouldn't I be baptized?). One of Luke's great concerns is that obstacles of age (Lk 18:16), religious tradition, old or new (Lk 9:49-50; 11:52), race or ethnic origin (Acts 10:47; 11:17), or physical condition (8:36, if the eunuch were one physically) must not keep people from hearing and applying to themselves the gospel of salvation. His ideal is found in the closing phrase, indeed the closing word, of Acts: "Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ" (28:31).
The eunuch is baptized as Philip stands with him in the water. Is it by immersion (Williams 1985:148) or pouring (Stott 1990:162)? The account will accommodate both understandings. The act's theological significance is cleansing for sin and incorporation into the fellowship of those who have experienced Christ's salvation blessings (Lk 24:47/Acts 2:38-39; 10:47-48; 16:31-33).
Though Philip is taken away suddenly, the eunuch goes on his way rejoicing. For Luke and us, joy is a manifestation of a person's salvation (8:8; Lk 6:23; 10:20), particularly of reception of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:52).
The episode ends as it began, with divinely guided and empowered outreach. Miraculously transported over thirty miles to the seacoast town of Azotus (Old Testament Ashdod), Philip continues his witness on non-Jewish soil until he comes to Caesarea (compare 21:8).
The conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch graphically demonstrates the inclusiveness of the gospel. No apparent obstacle--whether physical defect, race or geographical remoteness--can place a person beyond the saving call of the good news. Athanasius, in his comments on Psalm 68:31, marvels that "by `Kushites' God indicates the end of the earth. . . . For how Kush ran to the preaching is possible to see from the believing Ethiopian. God shows that all the other nations also believe in Christ with their kings" (quoted in Martin 1989:116). For persons of black African lineage, the eunuch's conversion means the "inclusion of black Africans among the charter members of the faith . . . all of which symbolizes from the beginning the African involvement in the new faith that spread throughout the world" (C. E. Lincoln 1984:24).

English Teacher
Hi teachers,
Accordind to these paragraphs:
Chief,Felix began. How did Dinon escape from prison?
Thats not important now, the Chief said.
But perhaps he had friends in prison, Felix said. Perhaps they know something. I need to talk to people at the prison.
Why is there 'about' after inquire in the question and I can't use 'about' in the answer?
What did Felix want to inquire about in the prison?
He wanted to inquire if Dinon had friends in prison and if they knew something.
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by learning54; 23-Dec-2012 at 12:50.
I always find "inquire/enquire about" very clunky in some situations and this is one of them. I would use:
He wanted to enquire as to whether Dinon had any friends.
He wanted to ask whether Dinon had any friends.
I would use "enquire about" in situations like:
I am phoning to enquire about the availability of rooms at your hotel next Saturday evening.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Thank you for your replies.
Then, will it be also possible to ask, 'What did Felix want to investigate in the prison?' besides, 'What did Felix want to ask about in the prison?

Dallas County inmates attend classes as part of a partnership between El Centro College and the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.
El Centro College and Mountain View College
Credit and noncredit workforce training courses for inmates
In 1973, El Centro College partnered with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department to create an innovative education program for inmates.
For more than 40 years, the program has provided educational opportunities and workforce training skills to inmates of the Dallas County Jail to help them become assets to the community on release. It now also serves as a platform for promoting higher education.
The contractual agreement is for two years with two subsequent two-year renewal options. The sheriff's department has approved $300,000 each year to provide level-one certificate and noncredit training.
El Centro provides an on-site project leader and program coordinator, part-time instructors, textbooks, computers and technical support. Areas include information technology, business office support systems, food handling safety and sanitation, art, graphic design, workplace preparation, and critical thinking skills. In the past 15 years, training has been expanded to offer certificate programs such as Information Technology Support and Support Specialist, Office Assistant and Software Application Specialist.
One of the greatest challenges has been for instructional staff to adjust to the unique teaching atmosphere. The college holds monthly professional development staff activities to address the challenges of teaching an incarcerated population. All instruction and materials must also provide inmates viable technological skills. El Centro has committed to providing state-of-the-art computers, software and textbooks as well as qualified faculty. Instructors constantly modify course material to align with workforce demand in business and technology.
El Centro is working with Inmate Services to identify and add more training programs to meet in-demand workforce needs in the North Texas area.
When the program began in 1973, it had one dedicated computer lab with a staff of two teaching 26 students. It now encompasses six computer labs, 14 classrooms for lecture-based courses, four art rooms and a staff exceeding 50 instructors teaching more than 350 students.
To expand course offerings and teach more students, additional resources were identified by both partners. Additional space was funded by the sheriff's department through an increased contract, with El Centro investing equipment, staff and classroom supplies. To prepare the new instructional and support staff necessitated by the expansion, El Centro created an integrated training model involving the sheriff's department and college policies.
" The sheriff's department has coordinated a strategic plan with El Centro College and DCCCD to predict what its best opportunities are for growth to provide workforce skills, training and opportunities to special populations. We forecast the expanded partnership will fill a significant need in preparing our target populations to enter the workforce and work through the pressing challenges they must deal with day to day. "

General Educational Development (GED) classes and testing services for Dallas County inmates
To meet defined educational goals for its clientele, the inmate services department first contacted Mountain View in 2012 to provide testing for inmates receiving GED instruction from DISD's Texas Education Association Adult Basic Education grant.
Mountain View partnered with Inmate Services in 2013 to conduct on-site GED testing for inmates through contract training. An expanded contractual agreement executed in 2014 includes full-service GED instruction as well as testing.
The current contract training agreement funds $262,500 over three and a half years for ongoing GED instruction and testing, with addendums as needed for student population growth. On-site laptop computers with safety storage cabinets, testing materials, workbooks and instructors are provided by the college.
On-site paper GED testing was carried out in 2013-2014. Under the current contract, GED classes are taught Monday through Friday for both male and female inmates, and online testing began in November 2014. Instruction includes language arts, writing, mathematics, reading, social studies and science.
Mountain View quickly stepped up to the challenge to fill a vacancy left by a previous GED testing vendor and provided solutions as national testing regulations changed. Since the college already served as an official GED testing site, it worked with the GED National Testing Service to secure approval to transport paper tests to the sheriff's department as an extended college testing site. As of January 2014, GED testing was updated to online only. The college did not lose a step with its partner in moving over to online testing; with the new contract it allotted funds for computers and IT installation.
Relationship building, trust, relevant instruction and program growth are critical elements to success. The college recently worked with DCCCD Workforce Training to offer CNC Machine Shop and Sustainability Gardening courses beginning in January 2015.
Interdepartmental support is crucial within the college to build a large training partnership. Critical components include contract development, legal review, board approval preparation, management review, and IT alignment on new projects and skill levels, all of which can be potential roadblocks to success if not addressed quickly and efficiently.
" Through our strategic planning process with Mountain View College, we anticipate successfully reaching our GED training completion goals, setting new goals for continued growth, and navigating through any barriers preventing us from reaching our goals. "

In the year since the death of 23-year-old activist writer Marina Keegan in a car crash, her mother said the power of her daughter's words sustain her and continue to inspire others in the art world and beyond.
"My daughter totally inspired me and moved me," Tracy Keegan, 55, of Wayland, Mass., told ABCNews.com. "Her words are how she will live on, and it's really important to me."
Marina had just graduated from Yale University, where her prophetic and inspirational essay, "The Opposite of Loneliness," appeared in a special graduation issue of the campus newspaper.
READ: Marina Keegan's "Opposite of Loneliness."
After her death on May 26, 2012, the celebrated writer's haunting words: "We're so young. We're so young. We're 22 years old. We have so much time" went viral.
Marina and her boyfriend, Michael Gocksch, were driving to the Keegan's summer house in Wellfleet, Mass., when the car hit a guard rail and spun across the road, rolling over twice. He survived, but she died instantly.
"It's been an unbelievably hard journey for all of us and of course, Michael," she said. "I am plodding along -- she would not want us to stop living. But it's unbelievably hard and Mother's Day was tough."
In the months since, Tracy and her husband Kevin Keegan, a cyber threat specialist, and their two sons, 18 and 26, have received hundreds of messages from around the world.
"Her words actually pushed people to make positive changes in their world view -- not only in their head, but their actions," said Keegan. "That to me is her legacy. As her mother, I really feel that my daughter continues her work as long as her words reach people."
And now Marina's sense of optimism and social justice will be memorialized in the national premier of her play, "Utility Monster," at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater -- opening on the anniversary weekend of her death.
The play, written while she was a sophomore at Yale, is about two idealistic 15-year-olds who realize that 35,000 children die of hunger each day, and for only the price of a lunch at Taco Bell, two could be saved.
"This is a play that can change lives," said Dan Lombardo, artistic director for the theater, who met Kevin Keegan by accident and learned his daughter was a playwright. He asked to see the script.
"I knew immediately I was reading someone who was extra-gifted," said Lombardo. "I get hundreds of scripts a year from well-known playwrights … It's rare that a play comes in this brilliant."
The car accident hit the small Cape Cod community "so hard," he said. "It just leaves us utterly bereft, and I cannot imagine what it is like for a parent to lose a child -- and then turn it around in a way that we have something tangible we can do to celebrate her genius."
"Utility Monster" was written while Marina was at Yale and produced in 2011 by the Yale Dramatic Association (DRAMAT), the first student show in four years.
Throughout her college years, she had been mentored by playwrights Donald Margulies and Deborah Margolin. Writer and critic Harold Bloom considered her an "unofficial granddaughter," according to the family.
Just before her death, Marina had been offered a full-time job on the editorial staff at The New Yorker.
Marina's musical, "Independents," also written at Yale, won best overall production at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2012 as well as a New York Times Critics Award.
Additionally, a collection of Marina's writings will be published by Scribner and proceeds will go to creating a foundation for causes aligned with her passion for art and activism, according to Keegan.
Marina's former high school, Buckingham Browne and Nicols, has established a summer fellowship in her name that will inspire students to explore "artistic pursuits or activist causes." And Yale established its first playwright award, the Marina Keegan Award for Excellence in Playwriting.
At both schools, awardees have already been named.
"We did not want an entire school year to go by without having our daughter's spirit continue to breathe through the acts and deeds of others," said Keegan. "This is what helps heal me."
Marina cared about whales (and wrote about it), the legalization of same-sex marriage, the decriminalization of marijuana and helping college-bound undocumented immigrants realize their dreams, according to her parents.
She was active in the Yale Democrats and the Occupy Morgan Stanley campaign.
Her mother said she, too, had been inspired by her daughter, who, like her younger brother Pierce, 18, was born with Celiac disease.
She volunteers with her son's charity, Pierce's Pantry, a gluten-free food bank. Their goal is to partner with national organizations to provide allergy-free foods for disaster relief.
Marina's father, Kevin Keegan, said the year since his daughter's death had been like an "emotional roller coaster."
"Regardless of what your son or daughter has accomplished, it's the same for any parent who loses a child," said Kevin Keegan, 56. "It's just horrible and what I've realized is that it happens every day to somebody."
Keegan said Marina would likely have not liked all the attention on her postmortem successes.
"She is looking down and laughing, 'Have you had enough now, Dad?'" said Keegan. "She never allowed anyone to brag about her accomplishments."
One of the last times he saw his daughter, Keegan told her how proud he was of her. "She said, 'I am going to live for love -- the rest will take care of itself.' That was her philosophy."
"More than anything, she was a great daughter and a lot of fun to be with," he said. "She was a comet who shone very brightly, then she was gone."
"Utility Monster" will open at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre on May 25.

National Journal's Ron Brownstein provided an eye opening reminder in a column last week about the impact of changing ethnic demographics on America's political landscape.
The flashing red light of Brownstein's message is pointed to the Republican Party.
America is changing inexorably into a country that is less and less white and the Republican Party remains today a party whose base is overwhelmingly white.
Brownstein estimates that Barack Obama could be re-elected this year with as little as 39 percent of the white vote. He notes that in 2008, when Obama won with just 43% of the white vote, it was the first time ever that a presidential candidate was victorious with double digit losses of white voters.

The demand for insurance professionals is increasing dramatically. Jobs in insurance involve helping individuals and businesses manage risk to protect themselves from catastrophic losses. You could work in a variety of insurance jobs including brokerage, underwriting, claims, sales, asset management, customer service or as an actuary. You'll have the opportunity to help people when they need it most.
The insurance industry consists mainly of insurance carriers (or insurers ) and insurance agencies and brokerages. In general, insurance carriers are large companies that provide insurance and assume the risks covered by the policy. Insurance agencies and brokerages sell insurance policies for the carriers.
Brokers and agents sell insurance policies to individuals and companies that want to guard their assets. In the event of a fire, injury, or accident, customers turn to their agents who must have a detailed knowledge of policies and their limitations.
Actuaries are responsible for determining the risk involved in insuring a person's life, their property, their health, or their business. A successful actuary understands government legislation and social tendencies that effect risk. They often work with government entities, insurance agencies, pension management firms, and other advisors.
When a person applies for a policy, it is the underwriter who determines whether that person is worth the risk of insuring. By assessing how much risk a person represents, underwriters ensure that all policyholders fit the company's requirements. In addition, underwriters often help determine policy pricing.
Customer service representatives process insurance policy applications, changes, and cancellations. They review applications for completeness, compile data on policy changes, and verify the accuracy of insurance company records. They may also process claims and sell new policies to existing clients.
Claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators decide whether claims are covered by the customer's policy, confirm payment, and, when necessary, investigate the circumstances surrounding a claim. Claims adjusters work for property and liability insurance carriers or for independent adjusting firms.

Roger Ebert's getting his voice back.
After being voiceless for two years following throat surgery, Ebert today demonstrated a new computer-generated voice that mimics his original speech, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Ebert demonstrated the voice during a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show. The segment will air on Tuesday, and will include Ebert giving Winfrey his 2010 Oscar picks.
The Scotland-based company behind Ebert's new voice, CereProc, used audio mostly from Ebert's own voice on DVD commentaries of Citizen Kane and Casablanca to recreate Ebert's speech.
Ebert's voice isn't completely finished yet -- it still hangs on unusual names -- but should be completed in a few months.
"It sounds like him," said Matthew Aylett, CTO for CereProc, to the Tribune. "But it will sound better as we add more audio information to it. The more data we have, the smoother and the more accurate the voice will become."
Ebert recently wrote on his blog that most of the computer-generated voices he's tried have left much to be desired.

|Artist rendering of two neutron stars colliding
|courtesy LIGO
For the first time, physicists have detected gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars. The observation was made by LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, a collaborative project with over one thousand researchers from more than twenty countries, including the University of Minnesota.
The LIGO-Virgo results were published Monday in the journal Physical Review Letters. Additional papers from the LIGO and Virgo collaborations and the astronomical community have been either submitted or accepted for publication in various journals.
"This is a really big deal and will open up a whole new area of astrophysics research to help us better understand our Universe," said Vuk Mandic, in the School of Physics and Astronomy, whose research group has been a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since 2007.
"We can now observe and study astrophysical phenomena using both electromagnetic (light) observations with traditional telescopes and gravitational-wave observations. We call this 'the multi-messenger astrophysics'." And as this event shows, multi-messenger observations have a tremendous potential to both deepen and broaden our understanding of such phenomena," Mandic added.

Troubled Dell in PC price hike shocker
Set your wallet to stunned
Pity if you will poor old Dell: its Q2 financials had shareholders sobbing uncontrollably over their Dimensions as management declared that the company's woes "primarily reflect aggressive pricing in a slowing commercial market worldwide".
We can confirm, though, that Dell's disaster recovery plan does not include cutting margins to compete with other manufacturers' aggression. Quite the opposite, in fact:
Good Lord. In case you were wondering, for that price you can get around 43,450 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMacs with 20in LCD screens and still have enough change for a hearty lunch. We await Dell's Q3 results with interest. ®
Thanks to Nick Bridgland for spying Dell's new pricing regime.

One year in space for Galileo In-Orbit Validation Element
Thursday 28 December will mark the first year in orbit of GIOVE-A, the first Galileo satellite, launched from Baikonur Cosmosdrome by a Soyuz launcher.
This pilot satellite is a key element of the programme, bringing the Galileo frequencies into use, testing new critical technologies and characterising the medium Earth orbit environment.
On 12 January, the anniversary of the first broadcast of European navigation signals transmitted by
GIOVE-B, the second satellite for Galileo In-Orbit Validation, suffered a technical incident during its test campaign, affecting its on board computer. According to the recovery plan initiated by ESA and industry, the launch of this second Galileo test satellite is now planned by the end of 2007. This delay has no impact on the development of the operational satellites.
GIOVE-A is being used for extensive experimentation such as calibration and testing, monitoring the in orbit performances of the specific navigation payload elements such as the atomic clocks and the signal generator, and demonstrating that Galileo signals are compatible and interoperable with GPS and GLONASS signals.
Galileo is a joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The EC is responsible for the political dimension and the high-level mission definition. ESA's responsibility covers the technology development as well as design, development and in-orbit validation of the space and ground elements.

Ok. I've wrote a review for these. Didn't know it only let you put 1 picture. Sorry. I love these curtains. Using from bedroom to bath. Small areas. Would reccomend them. My bed/bathroom are wounderful now. Did a lot of work but worth it. Thanks Michelle for all your advice . Your the best.
This is 2 of 2.
Again I love The Village Country Store. Michelle the shop keeper is awesome. She helped me figure out bathroom & more.
My bathroom I ordered the Burlap Natural Shower Curtain. My bathroom is small. I needed a different kind of curtain. Well found it!!. Ordered the Burlap Natural Prairie Curtain Set. The design is so different & it workes perfect in my small space. Using a Burlap Nature Jute Runner on back of toilet. My bathroom is so awesome now. So so happy with all.

Michelle goes out of her way to help you. This is something you don't see much of. Now I also have a new friend. Thanks for everything.

Because we are committed to the month of October affording us as little sleep as possible, we stayed up and watched the whole Cubs-Diamondbacks game last night, and we don't quite understand all the fuss about Lou Piniella pulling Carlos Zambrano after the sixth inning.
Sure, Zambrano had looked great. But so had Brandon Webb, who's the real reason Arizona won. Zambrano is notoriously fragile in the brain, and giving up the winning run might have caused him more trouble than overextending his arm might have. Also, Carlos Marmol is awesome, though he wasn't last night. It just didn't work out that way.
Do you really want a guy like the Dustbag, who can only think one game (hell, one minute) at a time, or do you want someone who can see the big picture? Lou knows, that if our hitters start hitting, there WILL be a Game 4, and we are actually set up better for Game 4 than if he wrung Zambrano out for every last pitch he had. He also knows what he has with Marmol, and maybe when the chests get tight and men reach for their nutsacks, maybe instead of reflexively reaching for Marmol, he insteads opts for Wood or Howry.
We are a bit bewildered by the histrionics of Piniella's move. Of the three teams who lost yesterday, the Cubs would seem to be in the best shape. The Phillies are down 1-0 at home, and the Angels just looked bedazzled. The Cubs lost to the best pitcher in baseball. It happens. Now if they lose tonight, it's probably time to freak out. Not that Cubs fans would ever do that.

Press Conference
Big Rapids, Mich. - The nationally third-ranked Ferris State University men's ice hockey team wrapped up a weekend home sweep of visiting Michigan Tech in Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) action as the Bulldogs skated to a 3-2 triumph on Saturday (Jan. 11) evening before a sellout crowd of 2,529 fans inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena.
Ferris State scored the first two goals of the night and received a 44-save performance in net from junior goaltender CJ Motte in topping the Huskies to remain unbeaten in WCHA play this season. The first-place Bulldogs moved to 12-0-2 in conference action with the triumph and have now captured 26 of a possible 28 league points to date this year.
The Bulldogs, who topped MTU by a 1-0 count before a sellout crowd on Friday night to open the series, started quickly in the finale with a goal only 6:24 into the opening period from forward TJ Schlueter. It was his first goal of the campaign and came off assists from senior forward Andy Huff and junior defenseman Jason Binkley.
After taking the 1-0 advantage into the second period, the Bulldogs increased their lead to two goals at 15:01 of the second frame when sophomore forward Kenny Babinski notched his fifth marker of the year on a two-on-one short-handed goal assisted by a tremendous feed from freshman Chad McDonald. The assist was McDonald's eighth of the campaign.
However, Michigan Tech answered back quickly and trimmed the margin to a single goal at 16:22 of the second when Alex Petan tallied his 11th lamplighter of the year on a power-play shot assisted by Shane Hanna and Ryan Furne.
The 2-1 Bulldog lead stood up until 16:31 of the third and final period when junior forward Justin Buzzeo notched the eventual game-winner on a rebound shot to push the Bulldogs' lead back to two goals. His 10th goal of the season was assisted by McDonald and senior captain Scott Czarnowczan.
Michigan Tech pulled within a goal again when David Johnstone registered his third marker of the year as the Huskies pulled the goalie for an extra skater. The goal came at 19:06 with assists from Hanna and Petan, but the Huskies could get no closer as FSU held on for the victory.
Motte, who ranks as the nation's winningest goaltender, made 44 saves on the night as the Huskies held a decisive 46-20 margin in total shots. The junior standout made 14 saves in the opening period, 20 in a big second period along with 10 in the final stanza as he improved to 17-1-3 on the season.
On the opposite end of the ice, Jamie Phillips suffered the setback despite making 17 saves for the Huskies with six in period one followed by seven in the second and four in the third and final 20 minutes of competition.
Ferris State was called for seven penalties totaling 14 minutes on the night with MTU whistled four times for eight minutes in the sin bin. MTU capitalized once on four power-play tries with the Bulldogs held scoreless in two attempts with the man-advantage.
The Bulldogs ran their overall record to 17-3-3 on the season with the win while the Huskies fell to 7-13-6 this season. The weekend series marked the first time the two teams had met on back-to-back nights since 1985.
Ferris State hits the road for its next four outings as the Bulldogs visit the WCHA's second place team in Minnesota State next Friday and Saturday (Jan. 17-18) for a two-game league set in Mankato, Minn. Friday's opener gets underway at 8:37 p.m. (ET) with the finale set for Saturday night at 8:07 p.m. (ET).
The next home series for the Bulldogs is not until Feb. 7-8 when FSU entertains Northern Michigan in league action inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena. Advance tickets are on sale now and can be purchased thru the FSU Athletics Ticket Office, online at StarTickets.com or by calling 1-800-585-3737.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - The Georgia Southwestern women's basketball team defeated Flagler College, 69-56, on Saturday afternoon for its third-consecutive victory.
With the win, the Lady Hurricanes (12-10, 6-7 PBC) hold the fourth spot in the PBC West Division, while the Saints (5-17, 2-12 PBC) are half a game ahead of Augusta State for sixth in the PBC East Division. The top four teams in each division make the 2011 PBC Championships.
GSW built a quick seven-point first-half lead, 10-3, and stretched the advantage to 17 points by the halftime break, 43-26, behind 14 points from Jessica Bivins and 10 from Terra Branch.
Kanita Holloway scored six of GSW's first seven points of the second half to help the Lady Hurricanes grab their largest lead of the night with 15:18 remaining, 53-35.
The Saints answered with a 14-3 run to cut the deficit to seven, 56-49, but that's as close as the home team would get.
Flagler finished the game shooting 36.1 percent from the floor, while the Lady Hurricanes finished at 38.5 percent.
Southwestern converted 25 Flagler turnovers into 26 points. The Saints could only manage 11 points off of GSW's 22 giveaways.

21 September 2012 at 11.50am | Comment on this article
We recently released our new Autumn Season film, starring the Minotaur and five Artists of The Royal Ballet. If you haven't seen it yet, watch the film and tell us what you think.
The trailer was shot over two days at The Backstage Centre at High House Production Park in Thurrock, home of our scenery workshops and the National Skills Academy. The industrial set required five brave dancers from The Royal Ballet to perform on a (perfectly safe, but still terrifying) wire floor, 40 feet up in the air. Smoke and ambient lighting gave a real intensity and atmosphere to the film.
The film is intended to reflect the symbiotic relationship of Covent Garden's two resident companies- The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera - with the performance and artistry of each fuelling the other. Each company is depicted in the film as giving its all, emotionally and physically, to support the artistic life of the other.

Fishing show attracts area anglers
The Dave Holder Fishing Show was held in Houston recently and, as usual, it was nothing short of fantastic. I was there, and it was like a traffic jam of people from Southeast Texas that included Sabine Lake guide Dickie Colburn, East Bay guide Jim West and a whole lot of Beaumont fishermen looking to get the latest on what's going on in the world of saltwater fishing.
While looking around at thousands of lures on display, the one that got a heck of a lot of attention is the all new Vudu Shrimp by Egret Baits. Ken Chaumont, who designed that soft plastic lure, says they sold hundreds.
"The Vudu Shrimp is easy to fish and will catch up to 20 to 30 fish per bait," said Chaumont, who is based out of East Texas. "They come in a variety of colors, two to a pack and cost $7. Most anglers are fishing them under rattle floats on Lake Charles and Sabine Lake. But you can also fish them on bottom. They are rigged on a 3/16-ounce lead head. Some of the most popular colors right now are dark green, pink and white with a chartreuse tail."
Colburn was hanging out at the Laguna Rod booth. Those rods are made in Katy by Chris Williamson. I've been using them for the past year or so and can tell you for sure they are ultra-light and a pleasure to fish with. You can see the complete line of these rods at Daley's in Port Acres. That's where you can also find one of the hottest lures on Sabine Lake – the Maniac Mullet. By the way, Colburn told me that's the lure he used late last week to catch a box of 3 to 4 pound trout on Sabine. A Maniac Mullet is similar to a Corky Devil. It's a slow sinker that twitches back and forth on a jerk-and-reel retrieve. The hot color is pink.
Something else I noticed is that kayaking for reds and trout on Keith Lake is very popular. I talked with several anglers from Southeast Texas that were at the show to shop for kayaks. There were plenty on hand. Another thing I noticed is that the latest jag in kayaks is not paddling them but keeping the battery charged that propels a compact trolling motor. The new wave of "yakers" are into moving their kayaks with trolling motors. The "yaks" are steered via a rudder that's controlled with your feet. It's an excellent way to thoroughly fish a marsh shoreline for reds and flounder.
Guide Jim West has been catching some pretty good stringers of trout on East Galveston Bay. I sat in on one of his seminars at the fishing show, and he said the best bite has been late in the day.
"The best bite has been … after the sun has warmed up the water," said West. "I'm using tails and slow sinking MirrOlures to catch some pretty solid trout. The last hour or so of daylight has been the best. Basically I'm looking for mullet over mud and shell in about 4 feet of water."
B.A.S.S. and Jasper-based Sealy Outdoors offer cash to amateur anglers
Imagine being 11 years old and reeling in a bass weighing more than 11 pounds. Now envision winning cash and prizes of $100,000 to go along with that trophy catch.
That's a life-changing event for a child out having fun with his family, and it's exactly what unfolded at a Big Bass Splash tournament held by Sealy Outdoors.
This year, Sealy Outdoors based out of Jasper and B.A.S.S. have united to market and promote the Big Bass Splash on Sam Rayburn, bringing together top industry names in tournaments that are philanthropic as well as fun, raising funds for the Ronald McDonald House and other McDonald's charities.
As part of the agreement, B.A.S.S. members can earn additional prizes through the new B.A.S.S. Cash contingency program of the Big Bass Splash. At each event, Sealy awards cash prizes to the largest bass brought to the scales on an hourly basis. Now, with the involvement of B.A.S.S., an extra prize of $100 will be awarded to the B.A.S.S. member weighing in the heaviest fish during the 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. hours each day. An additional $250 will be awarded at the end of the event to the highest finishing B.A.S.S. member if they are in the top 5 for the overall event. The contingency is available only to B.A.S.S. members. Non-members will be able to join B.A.S.S. on location at each event.
According to Bruce Akin, CEO of B.A.S.S., "This partnership will strengthen B.A.S.S.'s already extensive reach into the grass roots of sportfishing, expanding it to wider audiences, especially recreational anglers, youngsters and those new to the sport."
B.A.S.S. cash will be featured at six events and kicks off in East Texas on Sam Rayburn April 19-21. That one is followed up with the Toledo Bend event May 17-19.
"We are joining forces with B.A.S.S. in order to help bass fishing grow," said Bob Sealy, founder of Sealy Outdoors. "We want to get more people involved in fishing, and so does B.A.S.S. We're very family-oriented."
Fans will have an opportunity to visit the B.A.S.S. booth at the Big Bass Splash tournaments and sign on as B.A.S.S. members to qualify for the program prior to each tournament. If the big bass is not caught by a B.A.S.S. member, the prize goes to the next heaviest bass catch by a B.A.S.S. member if that winner is in the Top 5.
Participants can sign up for Big Bass Splash events online.
