On September 15, 1963, a bomb killed four young African American girls in a church in Birmingham, Alabama. Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley were 14 years old; Denise McNair was 11. Twenty-two other people, including Addie Mae's younger sister, Sarah, were injured in the terrorist attack, which was carried out by four members of the Ku Klux Klan. The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, as it came to be called, was a grim turning point in the American civil rights movements, as even hardened segregationists (some of them, anyway) were appalled at the scale of violence directed at innocents.
Photographer Frank Dandridge was in Birmingham to cover the aftermath of the bombing; the funerals of the four murdered girls; and the almost inconceivably tense and volatile racial situation in the heavily armed town after the bombing. While there, Dandridge made a picture of 12-year-old Sarah Collins — bandages covering her injured eyes, cuts marking the spots where glass shards had torn her face — that became one of the signature photographs of the era: a portrait that captured, in one riveting frame, the bilious, lethal aggression that lay behind so much of the anti-integrationist rhetoric of the Deep South.
When LIFE magazine first ran the photograph in its Sept. 27, 1963, issue (see below), the editors not only called out the officially sanctioned atmosphere in Alabama that fostered such depravity, but also included what they called "a powerful condemnation from an unexpected source — a white Birmingham lawyer named Charles Morgan Jr." Standing before a segregated meeting of the city's Young Men's Business Club, Morgan said of the bombing:
Who did it? It's really rather simple. The "who" is every little individual who talks about the "niggers" and spreads the seeds of his hate to his neighbor and his son. The "who" is every governor who ever shouted for lawlessness and became a law violator. It is every senator and every representative who in the halls of Congress stands and with mock humility tells the world that things back home aren't really like they are. It is courts that move ever so slowly and newspapers that timorously defend the law. It is all the Christians and all their ministers who spoke too late in anguished cries against violence. It is the coward in each of us who clucks admonitions. We are 10 years of lawless preachments, 10 years of criticism of law, of courts, of our fellow man; a decade of telling schoolchildren the opposite of what the civic books say. We are a mass of intolerance and bigotry and stand indicted before our young. We are cursed by the failure of each of us to accept responsibility, by our defense of an already dead institution.
Who is really guilty? Each of us. Each citizen who has not consciously attempted to bring about peaceful compliance with the decisions of the Supreme Court; each citizen who has ever said, "They ought to kill that 'nigger.'" Every person in this community who has in any way contributed to the popularity of hatred is at least as guilty, or more so, as the demented fool who threw that bomb.
Sarah Collins (now Sarah Collins Rudolph) survived her injuries — but she lost one eye and today lives with pieces of glass embedded in the other. Now 62, she lives with her husband George not far from Birmingham, and is fighting for restitution from the federal government for medical expenses she incurred and for literally decades of suffering after the church bombing. In short, like thousands of other Americans have done (especially in recent years), she is seeking some sort of compensation as a victim of terrorism.
On September 10, 2013, Collins Rudolph attended a ceremony in Washington, where the four girls who were murdered in September 1963 were posthumously honored with a Congressional Gold Medal.
"It's just such an awful, awful shame," Collins Rudolph says, all these years later, "that it took that much violence for some people to finally wake up to what was happening in their own country."

Earlier this summer a three-day celebration of choral music in all its forms took place in Thurrock. The second FUSED Thurrock Music Festival raised the roof in the unusual (and impressive) setting of the Tilbury Cruise Terminal and featured two full days of workshops as well as performances.
April Smith, a member of the Royal Opera House Thurrock Community Chorus attended a workshop about conducting: 'I came away with a much greater respect and understanding of how difficult a task conducting is, as well as material to work on myself.'
Other workshops included vocal techniques for male and female voices; introductions to opera and gospel singing; vocal leadership; and an inspirational beat-boxing demonstration from MC Zani.
Although the festival has passed for this year there are many ways to get involved in choral singing in Thurrock. The Royal Opera House Thurrock Community Chorus, who were one of the groups taking part in FUSED, meet weekly at High House Production Park and are open to new members. They will perform at the Deloitte Ignite Festival of Voices at the Royal Opera House on 22 September, as will the RM19 Youth Singing Group, also based in Thurrock, and led by Dominic Peckham. Throughout the day there will be free workshops and opportunities to sing, both for beginners and experienced singers. Booking is now open for free tickets.
The Royal Opera House Learning and Participation department works closely with the community in Thurrock to encourage involvement in music and dance. Find out more about activities in Thurrock. This year's Deloitte Ignite runs from 6 to 29 September. Find out more about Deloitte Ignite.

WWE star is no Rock; violent actioner falls flat.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie pushes the envelope for PG-13 violence, with pretty much nonstop action, including plenty of fights, explosions, and injuries/deaths. Weapons include guns, knives, hammers, cars (as both assault and explosive devices), and a chainsaw. Bodies crash through walls and windows, burn, and blow up. Potentially disturbing images include a badly burned villain, a drowning wife, and action scenes that involve shot-up, bloody bodies. Other stuff to watch out for: An early sex scene between the hero and his wife shows them in their underwear, her legs around him as she sits on the kitchen counter. One character uses "f--k," and all the villains use other foul language. A couple of scenes show manly men drinking beer.
Messages: Homophobic humor; a black thief repeatedly discusses racism ("always blame the black man"), and his associates repeatedly call him "crazy" bad jewel thieves, corrupt detective, and an extremely upright marine who breaks multiple rules and laws to achieve his ends.
Violence: Frequent explosions (vehicles and buildings); weapons include guns (shotguns, handguns, automatic), hatchet, grenades, knives, hammers, chainsaw, shoulder-mounted missile; bloody WWE-style fights, with stomping, kicking, body-slamming, and bodies leaping or thrown through glass or wooden walls; first scene shows blindfolded hostages in Iraq who are about to be killed when John roars in to save them; alligators grab one villain's body; women's fight includes kicking, punching, hair-pulling; woman nearly drowns handcuffed inside a submerged truck; badly burned villain attacks hero, who breaks his neck with a huge chain; at least three allusions to the rape in Deliverance.
Sex: Brief sex scene in bedroom (romantic/silhouetted upper bodies) and on kitchen counter (wife in bra and panties, husband in boxers); a shot through a woman's black-stockinged legs as she seduces her lover; women wear tight, cleavage-revealing tops; villain propositions female hostage; climactic clinch/kiss when the hero rescues his wife.
Language: One "f--k," plus two or more uses of assorted other profanity ("bastard," "bitch," "hell," "s--t," "son of a bitch," "damn," "ass").
Consumerism: Coca Cola logo, Miller beer labels.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Beer drinking, cop car's bumper sticker refers to "drug dealer."

For many people burgers and hot dogs on the grill epitomize summer. It is nice to have a healthy vegetarian option to add to the mix, especially if you are having a crowd. The idea of veggie burgers has always appealed to me but I have not found one in supermarkets that I really like so I decided to make my own. I like the earthy flavor of the mushrooms and the crunch of the almonds in this recipe. My one disappointment is that they are not ideal for the grill since the mixture falls apart fairly easily. If you do want to cook them on the grill I think the best bet would be to brown them in a pan first, and then put them on a piece of foil on the grill to heat them and add that smoky flavor. I like to serve them with brioche buns, lettuce, tomato and guacamole or raita but traditional mayo, mustard, or ketchup all work well too.
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound crimini mushrooms, stems removed, diced
10 ounces shelled edamame, blanched
1 large egg
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parsley or cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet and add onion. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have released their liquid and it has all evaporated, 5-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Place mushroom mixture, egg, and 1 cup of the edamame in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is a course paste. Add remaining edamame, almonds, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, cilantro and salt and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl and divide into 6-8 burgers. Dredge in remaining breadcrumbs.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet and brown burgers on both sides.

Some traders are convinced the stock market is on auto-pilot, poised to move higher into the year end, and the week ahead may provide more proof of that.
That's not to say the market isn't feeling a bit toppy. The and S&P 500 ended Friday at record highs, both closing in on big round numbers - 1800 for the S&P and 16,000 for the Dow. The Nasdaq too was within reach of 4,000, a level it hasn't achieved in 13 years.
The S&P closed out a sixth week of gains, up 1.5 percent to 1798, its longest winning streak since February. Those big round numbers could be a draw, attracting investors who have lost out on the market's gains and keeping others who aren't ready to take profits.

Each character has an Attack Rating, generally 10+(Str/Dis) or 10+(Agi/Int), depending on whether the attack is melee or ranged, respectively. Some weapons grant a bonus to Attack Rating.
A character first declares an attack (and the usual modifiers may apply to the attack rating). After determining if the attack was a success or not (which we'll come to later), the attacker can roll damage. If the damage exceeds the defender's Fortitude, the defender takes damage to his hit points. If the damage is lesser, the defender instead takes vitality damage.
Defending Against an Attack
In order to avoid being hit by an attack entirely, the defender is entitled to make a defense roll (Agi). If the roll is greater than or equal to the Attack Rating, the attacker misses.
Defenders that are unable to defend themselves (e.g. by being incapacitated, immobilized, or the like) do not receive a defense roll against normal attacks.
A character's Fortitude allows them to take vitality damage instead of hit point damage. Generally, a character's Fortitude is the highest of their Strength and Discipline modifiers. Armor adds bonuses to Fortitude.
Hit Points
A character's hit points represent the actual punishment the character can take. A character's hit points start at the sum of their Constitution and Discipline scores and increase little throughout their career.
A character has vitality equal to their Constitution and Presence scores, with an extra +4 bonus for being a heroic character. Vitality is often used to prevent hit point damage from being taken.
By default, a character with less than full hit points can lose 1 vitality every minute to regain 1 hit point.
If I implement short rests, then you'll be able to switch over probably Discipline score per rest.
- Zen Archery is in by default, further archetyping Intuition as the quintessential Ranger skill.
- The same people who rock melee also rock taking damage. Not intentional, but makes sense. Don't get up close if you can't take a hit. Relatedly, Fortitude numbers are probably a bit low (really, Str/Dis isn't less than Str/Dis in any case. Armor should fix, though).
- Constitution is still the HP stat, which is okay. Other things get in a bit (most notably "Intelligence"there's purposely no direct equivalent and "Charisma"). Brings a little bit of MAD to everyone.
- No room for attacker simply being a klutz aside from low stats. This may also not be a problem.
- Two rolls per attack means both characters get to be involved in the swing.
- Permanent or even long-lasting damage is simply not there. Recuperating after a battle is done in minutes, not days. Heroic, yes. Realistic, no. Variant rules can alleviate this later.

|AR (melee)
|AR (ranged)

- Terse Hashes in Emacs Lisp
- Data::Dumper in Emacs Lisp
- Terse Hash Dereferencing
- Terse Hashes Miscellany
One thing I really love about Perl is the easy and natural syntax for deeply nested data structures. I can make a hash of lists of hashes without a second thought.
(Okay, okay, Ruby and Python are equally good or even slightly better here, but I'm thinking about in comparison with emacs lisp, and C++ and Java…)
my $data = { list1 => [ { x => 'y' }, { a => 'b' }, # etc ... ], # etc ... }
In contrast, the syntax for dealing with hashes in emacs lisp is extremely verbose. Not only that, but for me, the arguments are the wrong way round. In object based programming, the object is always the first argument.
(make-hash-table) (puthash <key> <value> <hash-table>)
When I came across the Clojure syntax for hash sets using
#{ ... } I thought what a good idea. Unfortunately, emacs lisp doesn't have reader macros. Let's see what happens when I try it with a function.
(defun hash-set (opening-brace &rest args) nil) (hash-set { 1 2 3 4 })
The result tells us that emacs is trying to evaluate the value of
{ as a variable before passing it to the function.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable {) (hash-set { 1 2 3 4 }) eval((hash-set { 1 2 3 4 })) ...
Fortunately, in emacs lisp, we can delay the evaluation of the arguments using a macro. I use the same macro to make setting and retrieving individual hash values easy too.
(defun literal-hash (&rest args) (let ((hash (make-hash-table))) (while args (let* ((key (pop args)) (val (pop args))) (puthash key val hash))) hash)) (defmacro _h (arg1 arg2 &rest args) (cond ((eq arg1 '{) ;; check for empty case (if (eq arg2 '}) (make-hash-table) ;; (_h { k1 v1 k2 v2 ... }) (let ((rest (cons arg2 args)) elem tmp) (while (not (null rest)) (setq elem (pop rest)) (when (not (or (eq elem '}) (eq elem '=>))) (push elem tmp))) (setq tmp (reverse tmp)) `(literal-hash ,@tmp)))) ((null args) `(gethash ,arg2 ,arg1)) (t (let ((val (car args))) `(puthash ,arg2 ,val ,arg1)))))
Even nested hashes work nicely (I might be betraying my perl biases here!)
(defvar %hash (_h { 1 2 3 (_h { 1 2 3 4 } ))) (_h (_h %hash 3) 1) ;; ==> 2
Okay, retrieval is a little awkward, but I could add some more syntax to _h to make the following work.
(_h %hash -> 3 1)
That is left as an exercise for the reader.
Update: Hi atomicrabbit, I couldn't figure out how to do the syntax highlighting in the comment so I have included my reply below.
I didn't know about the
#s(make-hash ...), so that looks pretty cool. I found a mention in the Elisp Cookbook. I couldn't get it to work though unfortunately. Any ideas?
;; "GNU Emacs 126.96.36.199 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6000)
;; of 2009-01-12 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)"
(read (prin1-to-string (make-hash-table)))
(read "#s(hash-table data ('key1 'val1 'key2 'val2))")
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "#") read("#<hash-table 'eql nil 0/65 0x143c880>")
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "#") read("#s(hash-table data ('key1 'val1 'key2 'val2))")

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The National Security Agency has built a surveillance system capable of reaching 75 percent of all U.S. Internet traffic, The Wall Street Journal reported.
While the system is designed to seek foreign intelligence, in some cases it retains the contents of emails between U.S. citizens and filters Internet-based phone calls, Journal reported Wednesday.
The information is gathered from major telecommunications companies at major Internet junctions around the United States, said former intelligence and government officials and people from companies that build or operate the system.
NSA spokesman Vanee Vines said the agency uses "minimization" procedures approved by the U.S. attorney general to protect the privacy of Americans whose personal information is "incidentally collected during NSA's lawful signals intelligence activities."
Another U.S. official said the NSA is "not wallowing willy nilly" through citizens' everyday electronic communications. "We want high-grade ore," the official said.
Documents released by fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden show programs used by the agency have the capability to track virtually anything online covered by a court order.
Much, but not all, of the data is discarded, raising concerns among some lawmakers and civil libertarians existing privacy protections may be inadequate.
U.S. telecommunications companies must turn over information to the NSA that is specified in court orders issued by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Lawyers at the companies decide what information is considered "responsive" to the court order, an official said.

"I once thought being a teacher was being a superhero. Instead of a magic lasso, I'd have a textbook; I'd step out of library stacks transformed. My students would see the 'teacher me.' I maintained the charade my first years. My classes were behaved, organized, and silent. The information was most important, and my task was deliver, assess, and raise student achievement."
"Eventually, I realized my ideas about identity were related to my teenage years—because I was different, I was not able to express myself in ways that enabled learning. If I embodied the perfect teacher stereotype, my kids wouldn't see my learning struggles. But accepting the idea that there was one kind of good teacher required perpetuating the idea that there is one kind of good student, which I knew wasn't true. If I believed this I would be rejecting my teen self, still there, hiding behind the dress and heels." "Development of identity parallels intellectual development, and if we are unsure of ourselves we cannot succeed fully. My eccentricity is inspiring, and students can learn to be who they are by accepting diversity in me. Now, the first time a student says, 'Ms. Morris, you are sooo weird,' I know the real learning can begin."

Sarah's story is inspiring. It's true that our identity as teachers develops throughout our career. It's shaped by the students we teach, the colleagues we work with, and the communities we live in. Sometimes the most challenging situations produce the best changes...

"Big data" is a marketer's dream phrase – short, pithy and chock full of enough futuristic implications to make "Minority Report" seem dated. Of course, big data is not a single product or technique. Instead, it's an umbrella term for a swath of technologies intended to solve that ever-increasing and almost cliché problem of "drowning in data yet starved for information." But umbrella terms are notorious for being abused because the people who use them adhere to Humpty Dumpty's advice: "When I use a word ... it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
Let's examine three ramifications of the confusion caused by big data hype:
1. Big data becomes a sales slogan. Let the Ballyhoo Boys loose because there is a new game in town! And you best hop on the bandwagon now before it's too late ... This is a limited time offer. Just follow the pointy-haired boss in this amazing Dilbert cartoon. Big data is the latest silver bullet, so every snake-oil salesman is out in force. Get in line!
2. Big data becomes a threat. As the "new, new" thing, big data will replace everything you've ever done or thought about doing with data. What, you don't know about Hadoop, Avro, Hive or Mahout? Are you living under a rock? If you are a traditional data management, data integration or data warehousing company you better pack your bags now ... And it's not just you, traditional data management vendors, who should be scared. So should you IT customers. What? You don't know if you even have big data? Maybe you have what we'll call "dark data." Is that a physics thing like dark matter? Of course, the implied threat is that if you don't have big data – maybe you should. That way your executives can't ask, "Everybody's doing it ... why aren't we?"
3. Big data becomes a unicorn. Everyone talks about it, but no one has actually seen one. But given that I am currently working on a big data project, I can assuage your fears and tell you that "Yes, Virginia, big data does exist." However, I am working on a very straightforward big data project – processing huge volumes of sensor data. That is big data's No. 1 use case. If you don't have that use case, you may have to scare up some (creepy music cues up) … dark data.
Of course, the reality should be none of the above. Each point above has both an element of satire and a kernel of truth. The common thread running through them is that over-hyping or twisting an umbrella term breeds confusion. Let's keep it simple folks – big data is mostly about Handling Huge Volume (let's call that the HHV principle). Is your data HUGE? If your database administrator has not yet said, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," then you are fine.

The last time Katie Lembo finished her personal outdoor track and field season as a...
The last time Katie Lembo finished her personal outdoor track and field season as a national champion, she went on to earn first team all-state honors after the 2011 cross country season.
Lembo, who will be a junior at Penfield beginning this fall, could do it again.
While Lembo missed a personal-best, her race in 10 mintues, 11.84 seconds was fast enough to win the National Junior Olympic intermediate girls 3,000-meter race last weekend in Baltimore. Lembo's winning margin was 18.24 seconds.
"I'm so excited,'' said Lembo, who also finished in the 1,500 at the Junior Olympics. "It definitely gets me movtivated to have a good cross country season.''
Lembo, the 2010 Section Class AA girls cross country champion and 2011 runner-up, won a 3,000 age group race last summer at the Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics in New Orleans.

Paul Merson's Premier League predictions - Week 26
Merse expects a victory for Stoke and a draw between Newcastle and Spurs
Last Updated: 12/02/14 10:24pm
This has always been a big game in the past, but is this such a big match any more given where Man United are in the league? It's a big game for Arsenal because they need to get back on the horse quickly after their blip at the weekend against Liverpool. You need to win very quickly after a defeat in this league because a defeat and a draw is five points dropped. However, I can't see anything but an Arsenal win because even though their confidence is shot, it can't be more shot than Man United's. I still can't work out what happened against Fulham. When you're on a bad run nothing seems to go right, but they are in desperate need of a win here. A draw isn't much good to them. Also, why have they spent almost £40million on Juan Mata and put him out of position on the wing - especially when their best player this season, Adnan Januzaj, ends up on the bench? With all that's going on I can only see Arsenal winning.
Everton v Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace always seem to win the games they have to win. It's almost like they've got a chart and they've highlighted the must-win games to stay out of trouble - and they always perform in those games. We saw that at the weekend against West Brom and since Tony Pulis took over they've won almost all of the games against the teams around them. This game is a free swing for them and if they defend like they did at the Emirates then I don't see why they can't get a result, but I do think Everton will win. I thought Everton were unlucky not to get at least a draw against Tottenham, so I think they'll make up for it here - but you can't rule out Palace.
Man City v Sunderland
Man City were flying along, but that defeat to Chelsea changed everything. Norwich suddenly had the belief that they could get a result against them and if they don't beat Sunderland then I think they will struggle to win the league. I watched the Norwich game and Man City were not the strutting team that they were before. However, this is the worst fixture Sunderland could have this week. I thought Sunderland were going to beat Hull at the weekend and start flying up the table, but this should be another defeat and all of a sudden they are bang in the scrap again. If they'd won at the weekend then they could have gone into this game relaxed and tested the water ahead of the Capital One Cup Final. Now they need to try and get a draw and I don't think they will.
Newcastle v Tottenham
Newcastle really need a result here. They had good moments against Chelsea and probably could have scored, but they were undone by Eden Hazard - who is the best young player in world football and was unplayable at the weekend. This is a dangerous game for them because they will be urged to go for the win after a couple of bad results, but Spurs could easily pick them off. The fans will be getting disheartened by the results and the fact they keep selling their best players. It costs a fortune for those fans to follow that club and every time they get near anything they sell their players. They need a performance for those fans and I think they will cause Tottenham problems.
Stoke v Swansea
Swansea enjoyed a really good result at home to Cardiff on Saturday, but I never back against Stoke at home - and I'm not going to change my mind here. I thought they had a great result against Southampton - I think a 2-2 draw against an in-form team is a very under-rated result - and I expect them to follow it up with a win in front of their own fans at the Britannia.
Fulham v Liverpool
Fulham will be exhausted because their approach against Man United takes up a lot of energy. Steve Sidwell must have covered every blade of grass and Kieron Richardson was out on his feet after running up and down the wing a thousand times. The air gets back in the lungs a lot quicker after a last-minute equaliser, but I can't see how they will live with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. They are playing unbelievably well and there is no doubt they are in the title race. I've said all along they should focus on their main aim of finishing in the top four, but if you look at their home fixtures and the fact they don't start playing in Europe again next week then you've got to say they are in it. I think this is a nice game for them and they should win it.
Cardiff v Aston Villa
Aston Villa are one of those weird teams. If they'd won at home to West Ham you'd think they'd be out of the relegation scrap, but they had a shocking result and all of a sudden they are back in it again - even more so if they lose this one. The big advantage they have is that they are always going to score goals and win games away from home - and I can see them going to Cardiff and winning. If Cardiff lose this then, for me, it could be goodnight. Their confidence will be shot after losing to Swansea and the fans have been on their backs a little bit. If they don't score in the first 15 minutes the atmosphere could turn and I think Villa will play off that. They'll shut up shop for a while and then go and pick them off.
Hull v Southampton
This Premier League is just so hard to call. Hull seemed to be on a slippery slope and you thought they were bang in it if they went to Sunderland and lost. But they bought some good forwards in January and they ended up playing against 10 men for most of the game on Saturday and winning comfortably. With their front two you would probably think they'll score enough goals to stay up now, so it really does all change so quickly. Southampton are one of those teams who can't get in Europe and can't get relegated - and so should be a really good cup team. This should be a good game because there's not much between the two sides.
West Ham v Norwich
One minute it looks like West Ham are bang in trouble with Andy Carroll suspended, but they got a great result at Villa and if they win at home to Norwich then they'll be well on their way to safety. However, if Norwich win this game then it's a very different kettle of fish. Chris Hughton's team were very good against Manchester City and thoroughly deserved their draw. This is another hard game to call, but even though Norwich work hard I don't see where they are going to hurt West Ham, as they don't have much going forward. I think West Ham will just nick it.
West Brom v Chelsea
Chelsea are more than a little horse - they are a very big and impressive horse. I wouldn't necessarily agree that they are the title favourites because of the games that Man City have got coming up, but they won't be far off. I can't see anything but an away win in this game because I'm quite worried about West Brom. I've tipped them as my dark horses for the drop and they haven't been letting me down. I'm afraid I can only see them getting ripped to shreds in this game.

The evening goes awry when the host is murdered. Everyone including the maid had a motive but no one knows who did it. Was it Miss Scarlett with the knife or maybe Mrs. Green with the gun? As the plot unfolds two more people are also "done in" by the unknown assailant creating further havoc. Which one of the guests did it? Maybe it was the cook. Will you be able to figure it out?The two hour play has talented students from both the West Grand High School and Middle School.

More than anyone else I can think of, Elizabeth Taylor represents the complete movie phenomenon—what movies are as an art and an industry, and what they have meant to those of us who have grown up watching them in the dark," wrote the venerable film critic Vincent Canby in The New York Times. One of Hollywood's most indelible icons, Taylor has been in the public eye for six decades. Today, she is indefatigable humanitarian who is credited with raising more than $100 million in the crusade against AIDS. But first and foremost she is a thrilling film actress, the last brilliant star to emerge from the great Hollywood studio system, the heart of nearly 60 motion pictures, the muse of some of the movies' most revered film directors, including Joseph L. Mankiewicz, George Stevens, John Huston, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, Richard Brooks, Franco Zefferelli, and Mike Nichols, and the screen's finest interpreter of the works of two giants of the American theater—Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee.
Born in London to American parents, Taylor moved to California with her family shortly before World War II erupted in Europe. Soon noticed by a talent scout, she made her film debut at age ten in There's One Born Every Minute. In 1943, she signed a long-term contract with MGM and fell in with the studio's celebrated gang of kid stars: Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, and Freddie Bartholomew. People noticed the exceptionally beautiful tyke on the sidelines of Lassie Come Home and Jane Eyre, but it was the horse-crazy 12-year-old girl at the center of the classic National Velvet (1944) that audiences throughout the world fell in love. A spate of frothy teenage movies followed, culminating with her first on-screen wedding in Minnelli's delightful Father of the Bride.
Then in 1951, George Stevens cast her as the impossibly desirable socialite in A Place in the Sun opposite Montgomery Clift, and their doomed romance and heartbreakingly beautiful performances suddenly turned the popular ingénue into a major adult star. She was not yet 20 years old. Stevens' Giant (1956), meanwhile, forged a new level of respect for Taylor's talent, and over the next decade she developed into one of the most glamorous and highly paid performers in the world, setting a record by earning a then-astounding $1 million to star in the legendary epic Cleopatra (1963). Along the way she was nominated for Academy Awards as best actress three years in a row—beginning with Raintree County in 1957, and followed by Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly, Last Summer. "As an actress, she has a breadth and scope beyond what she has ever been credited with," said her two-time director Richard Brooks at the time.
Finally, she won her first Academy Award for Butterfield 8 (1960) and returned to the podium six years later for her blistering "Martha" opposite Richard Burton's "George" in Mike Nichols' Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. This performance also earned her awards from the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the British Film Academy.
Taylor had met Burton on the set of Cleopatra—he was Antony to her Egyptian queen—and by the time Mike Nichols directed them in Virginia Woolf they had become filmdom's most famous co-stars and one of the century's most famous couples. Together they also made the V.I.P.s, The Sandpiper, Doctor Faustus, The Comedians, Boom!, Hammersmith Is Out, and The Taming of the Shrew. Divorce His, Divorce Hers, the couple's one made-for-television film was a ratings bonanza. Also acting without Burton, Taylor remained the era's ultimate movie star appearing opposite Marlon Brando in Reflections in a Golden Eye, Michael Caine in X, Y, and Zee, Warren Beatty in The Only Game in Town, Mia Farrow in Secret Ceremony, Henry Fonda in Ash Wednesday, and even Andy Warhol in The Driver's Seat.
In 1981, Taylor made her Broadway debut as Regina Giddens in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes, for which she received a Tony Award nomination, the Theater World Award, and a special Outer Critics Circle Award. In 1983, she made her second and last Broadway appearance, opposite Burton, in Noel Coward's Private Lives.
Two years later, Rock Hudson, her Giant costar and one of her most cherished friends, died of AIDS. In response to the tragedy, she cast herself in the role of Hollywood's most fearless fund-raiser in the fight against the disease, first by rallying a still reluctant film industry behind a major show in support of AIDS Project Los Angeles, then by co-founding AmFar (the American Foundation for AIDS Research) with Dr. Mathilde Krim. In 1991, Taylor established the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
For her activism, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Taylor with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1992. That same year, the American Film Institute honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award for her glorious contribution to the art of motion pictures. At the time, she was the award's youngest recipient.
Recently made a Dame of the British Empire and named a Commander of Arts and Letters by the French government, Taylor has lived virtually her entire life with us, just as millions of people around the world have grown up and lived their lives watching her. "It would be hard to conceive of a world without Elizabeth Taylor," said The Independent earlier this year on the eve of her 70th birthday.

Florida Gators (31-5) vs. Butler Bulldogs (29-6)
When: 7:10 p.m. ET
Where: St. Louis
1. Because Gator parents get TV face time — so what they wear matters. Did anyone else catch the TV shot Sunday of Tito Horford, Al's dad, in the stands wearing his son's jersey — just the jersey, nothing over/under it. Though it was a unique fashion choice, he actually filled it out. (Perhaps so much we should call him "Teat-o.") Compare that to what Yannick Noah, Joakim's dad, was wearing: A stylish orange fleece with don't-bother-me sunglasses, either indicating that he was too cool for school or perhaps that he was high. Hey, he's a reggae star. (And, of course, Joakim's mom, Cecilia Rodhe — the No. 1-seeded MILF in college hoops. She can wear whatever she wants.)
2. Will Billy Donovan leave for Kentucky? As quickly as Tubby Smith exiled himself from Lexington, rumors were buzzing that Kentucky would make a play for the Florida coach. Donovan has history at Kentucky (he was an assistant there), but I don't think he'll leave Gainesville ... at least for the UK job. Obviously, Florida's program doesn't have the history of Kentucky's, but the last time the Wildcats were national champs, current high school seniors (and potential recruits) were eight years old. Donovan has turned Florida into the SEC's premier program. If anything, I think Billy D would leave Florida for the NBA. Don't think Michael Jordan isn't paying attention to this story...
3. Because Erin Andrews loves the Gators. Why read when you can watch:
1. The Rims in the Edward Jones Dome Are 10' High. As everyone knows, Hoosiers is based on the story of a real-life mid-major, the Milan Indians, who won the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship. At that time, the final four was played in Hinkle Field House, which is Butler's home court. On the way to the 1954 crown, Milan beat heavyweight Indiana high school basketball programs such as Indianapolis Crispus Attucks (see, e.g., Oscar Robertson) and Muncie Central (see, e.g., Bonzi Wells). Not unlike the Milan Indians, Butler is not going to be intimidated by big bad Florida. During the regular season, Butler beat major programs Notre Dame, Tennessee, Gonzaga, Indiana and Purdue, despite not having any player on the roster taller than 6'7." In addition to not being tall, the Bulldogs are not a deep team either, basically using a seven-man rotation. Butler is about as athletic as the Hickory Huskers, as the zero dunks and zero blocks in the win over Maryland last week demonstrates. What the Bulldogs do is take care of the ball and hit their threes (BU had 12 3's and 11 2's in the Maryland game). In addition, Butler's man defense (with zone principles) creates turnovers (Maryland had 17). So don't be surprised when the Butler Bulldogs take down Florida and Oregon (or UNLV) on the way to the Final Four in Atlanta. (And oh by the way, as I write this I am raising a toast to all of you who had ODU beating Butler in the 12-5 game. You know who you are; nice work.) Don't get caught watching the paint dry, folks.
2. If You Want to Crown Them, Go Ahead and Crown Their Asses. Florida was who Butler thought they were in the 2000 NCAA Tournament. In the East Regional first round game in Winston-Salem, the 12th seeded Bulldogs led the 5 seed Gators, 68-67 with 8.1 seconds left in overtime. LaVall Jordan (who earlier had missed a jumper that would have ended the game in regulation) missed two free throws and some pasty kid from South Dakota (who Billy Donovan did not pay to come to Florida) went down and hit a floater in the lane to give Florida the win, 69-68. From the Kevin Bacon department, LaVall Jordan is now an assistant coach at Butler. And two of the assistants on the 2000 Butler team were now-head coach Todd Lickliter and some guy named Thad Matta. In addition, that stud A.J. Graves had a brother named Matthew on the 2000 team, and another current Butler assistant, Joel Cornette, was also on the team. In any event, Butler let Florida off the hook and the Gators' asses were almost crowned, as they lost to Michigan State in the championship game in Indianapolis.
3. Pete Campbell Thinks Rex Grossman Is Gay. Throwing the football deep is gay. What do they call that, stretching the field? That's gay. Anyone can throw a football. Try stepping out behind the line and launching some 3 balls. Oooh, that makes my dick hard. And I am hitting like 58% percent of my 3's this year. How do you like that, you little quarterback pussy. What? Rex Grossman is from Bloomington, Indiana? Bloomington is for queers. Bunch of pinko communists and a-hole coaches down there. That tool I used to play for at IPFW, Dane Fife, played in Bloomington. Guess what the "F" stands for, Rex. Yeah, I got your fort right here you little wuss. Go sit on the porch of your trailer next to your fake-titty momma and let me show you something about sexy. Hitting the three is sexy. In one game this year, I hit eight threes in a row (not including the Cleveland State cheerleaders, which would make nine). So watch me unload some threes in the Florida game. Wonder how that chick Noah is gonna like that. You want sexy, I'll show you sexy. Now, who wants to sex Pete Campbell? (Apologies, of course, to KSK.) — Bulldog Lounge

ÔÇ£Rejean Neron's Safety Sphere is a protective suit which inflates to a man-sized sphere, completely enveloping the rider in the event of a crash. It inflates in five hundredths of a second, cushioning the rider for any impact (except perhaps those into giant spikes) and consists of a loose fitting coverall suit comprised of two layers of fabric.
Neron explains: "The outer layer is made up of a highly resistant parachute type material. The inner layer is made up of a thin, moderately elastic synthetic material. In a collision situation, the passengers are thrown from the motorcycle, the cord connecting them to the motorcycle seat disconnects, the electrical voltage plummets, and the electronic circuit processor inside the belt buckle housing of each occupant connects the 9 volt battery to an electric igniter in the back housing of their respective suits." This triggers the firing of an explosive canister of propellant called nitrocellulose.
Neron is a motorcycling idealist who believes bikes could play a massive role in alleviating congestion in 21st century cities, if only riders' fear of crashing's consequences could be reduced to those of the prang-happy car driver. He's been working on the Safety Sphere for many years, through 'countless' iterations and is now looking for backing to bring the design to productionÔÇØ

If you're looking for something to enjoy during Sunday brunch time, look no further than the Catherine An's daytime cafe, which is now serving up a breakfast riff on the traditional Vietnamese sandwich. It'll probably have you wondering why you haven't had one, sooner.
The 2011 L.A. Easter Brunch Round-Up
I don't remember ever having given up anything for Lent. But I always have celebrated Easter in non-ritualistic fashion – just as I eat and celebrate life. Every day is a rebirth, right?
Did I mention that I love eggs?
I compiled a bunch of Easter Brunch specials around town. There are plenty of restaurants offering up 3-course prix fixe menus for Sunday morning, but a lot of them have some pretty solid choices.
Go ahead…you can scan this post for the bottomless champagne or mimosa spots. I totally understand.
(By the way, I can't believe how Westward this list skews… Do Eastsiders not celebrate Easter?) 😉
Happy Easter!!
Eva (Beverly/Hancock Park): 12 -Â 8 PM
$39 per person.
Bottomless wine. 5-course prix fixe.
I know I said "brunch," and I know Mark Gold calls this the "Eva Dinner Party," but the noon start time has to count for something, doesn't it? You get all of the following: Deviled Eggs, Nicoise Salad with Olive Relish and Roast Peppers, Chicken "Pallard" with Arugula and Mustard, Warm Potato Salad, Prime Skirt Steak, Grilled Asparagus and Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Creme Fraiche. I know. Amazing. This is where I'll be…sometime during Easter Day.
7458 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036, 323.634.0700
Chaya Brasserie (Downtown, Beverly Hills, Venice): 11 AM – 3 PM
$37 per person, $15 per young adult.
Bottomless champagne. 3-course prix fixe.
You get a couple choices for your 3-course prix fixe, all menus of which vary according to location! Be sure to peep the right Chaya outpost for your menu.
A few highlights from what I can see on all three menus include French Toast with Granola Crust, Kabocha Squash Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi, Grilled New York Steak and Fries with Poached Egg, Pancetta-wrapped Gulf Shrimp with Provencal Grits, Meyer Lemon Mascarpone Cheese Tart. I think the Downtown location is where to be!
525 South Flower, Los Angeles, CA 90017, 213.236.9577
8741 Alden Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90048, 213.859.8833
110 Navy Street, Venice, CA 90291, 310.396.1179
Obika (Century City): 10 AM – 4 PM
$25 per adult, $15 per child under 12.
Comes with one mimosa or glass of Prosecco. Buffet-style plus one family-style pasta.
Not feeling the prix fixe but don't want any hassle? Obika's doing it up buffet style – at the mall. Mozzarella di Bufala along with a selection of Smoked Wild Alaskan Salmon, Assorted, Salumi, Caponata with Pan Carsau, Artichoke Ricotta Quiche with Thyme and Mint, Ricotta Mousse and four (yes, four) flavors of Tirimisu will all be available. In addition, your table will get to pick one choice of pasta served family style, including Handmade Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli with Brown Butter and Sage, Lasagnetta with Peas and Tagliolini with Artichoke and Mint.

Fellowships in Residence at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, are available to graduate or law students, and post-docs interested in scientific research in the Austrian school and libertarian political economy.
Download a Poster [1] to display on bulletin boards or outside your office.
These fellowships offer a unique opportunity for full-time research and writing in a particular area of specialization under the guidance of Institute faculty. The program targets students seeking careers as academic educators and researchers, though students interested in law, finance, and business are also encouraged to apply.
Generous sponsors enable the Mises Institute to provide Fellows with a single occupancy apartment on the Mises Institute campus, an office at the Mises Institute, directed research from Institute faculty, admission to Rothbard Graduate School and Mises University, access to the Institute's vast library (including Murray Rothbard's private collection) and to Auburn University library, a stipend, and transportation between the Atlanta airport and the Mises Institute.
Residency runs from mid May until early August. NOTE: Attendance is required at Rothbard Graduate Seminar in early June and at Mises University in mid-July.
"It really was a fantastic luxury to be able to interact with an eminent scholar in my line of research on such a frequent basis," Audrey Redford, a 2014 Fellow, and PhD student at Texas Tech, recently told us. "Working and engaging with the other fellows was incredibly productive and fun. We bounced ideas off one another in an environment that was constructive and rigorous, but also pleasant and approachable."
Matt McCaffrey, a 2013 Fellow, recently joined the faculty at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. "The Mises fellowship has been the single most important influence in my development as a scholar," Dr. McCaffrey writes. "No other program could have given me the resources I needed to start my career. The fellowship offers time and learning materials of course, but the most important element of the experience is the support and guidance you receive."
To apply for a Fellowship, visit this application page [2]. Once on the application page, you can complete the application form and submit the required documents using the simple upload feature. Deadline for submission is February 7, 2020. Applications received after February 7th will be considered as space permits. All applicants will be notified of the status of completed applications on February 14, 2020.
Application Guidelines
A sample of academic writing, either a paper written for a class or a BA or MA thesis, or articles published on Mises.org or Lewrockwell.com. Any length. Applicants are not expected to write something original specifically for this application.
The research proposal should include an explanation of the topic; sources to date (articles, books); the methodology (deductive, historical, empirical); the data (if applicable) of the study you plan to use; and a statement about the rationale of the research: what is the problem or issue that you are addressing, why it is important, why past attempts to solve it have been inadequate or nonexistent, and how your research will contribute to its solution. Suggested length 3-5 pages, stylistic format of your choice.
These two letters should address your academic strengths that go beyond what is recorded in the university transcript. Particularly helpful are comments on your interest in Austrian economics or Austrian scholarship in general. Additionally, if you are an undergraduate, these letters should address your commitment to and capacity for pursuing a graduate degree. If you are a graduate student, the letters should address the quality of your research and potential to make contributions in your academic field. If your professors wish to send these letters privately, they can be emailed to email@example.com.
Your tax-deductible gift of $15,000 will sponsor a named fellowship position at the Mises Institute. To make a donation and have a fellowship named in your honor or in honor of your loved ones, contact Kristy Holmes, Donor Relations at email@example.com [3] or 334-321-2101, or use the online donation form [4].
Many of the hundreds of former Mises Institute Fellows have distinguished themselves in the academic world and are influential in fostering interest in and understanding of Austrian economic theory and libertarian philosophy.
Among the distinguished former fellows are:

My favorite salon. I've been going here for the past 3-4 years and I was never disappointed. Fair And Lovely Beauty Parlour are awesome. I do my cut and highlights here are I'm always happy with the result. They are always so friendly and cheerful.
Excellent collection of mental health professionals. Depression, social anxiety, spousal abuse, obsessive procrastination, anorexia, grief, et al. They provide tools to help clients grapple with all of these issues. If I could offer more than five stars, I would attach as many as possible to this review. Outside of their counseling expertise, they have great administrative staf show full
I've been searching for a dental practitioner since I moved here 2 years back. My companion alluded me to Tharayil Dental Clinic and I couldn't be more joyful with the experience. The office is present day and clean, yet I was for the most part awed with the flawless staff. Everybody was so neighborly and influenced me to feel good. I've been alluding everybody here show full
By far the best lash service I've ever had!!! I love this adorable, clean, friendly salon!! The chairs are unbelievably comfortable. Normally my neck or legs start hurting by the end of the session but not in these chairs. Everything is top quality!! Thank you Alexis for your kindness, professionalism and lash expertise!! I feel so at home and will be a client for life! :)
Heavenly experience - super perfect and present day beautification, amicable staff, simple booking/process. This influences my dental specialist to encounter a whole lot less demanding and more wonderful than anyplace else.
I highly appreciate Al-Abrar for helping me with my documents translation. I needed to travel to Europe on the business affair, and having my corporate paperwork translated within one day was a must. SHEJEEB P.A and his team completed the translation of 199 pages in no time. They simply saved me.
