Haywire (US - BD RA)
Gabe watches a late review copy of Soderbergh's New Wave cool spy flick...
Freelance covert operative Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is hired out via her handler Kenneth (Ewan McGregor) to various global entities to perform various black ops type jobs that governments can't legally authorize. Following a particularly dicey hostage rescue mission in Barcelona, Mallory is surprised when Kenneth quickly dispatches on another mission to Dublin. When the Dublin operation goes awry Mallory discovers she has been double crossed, escapes an assassination attempt, and uses her skills to evade an international manhunt, make it back to the United States, protect her family, and exact revenge on those that betrayed her.
When I reviewed Slumdog Millionare I said something about Danny Boyle being the most successfully eclectic mainstream filmmaker working today, but I'm wrong, I forgot that despite Boyle's consistent genre change-up, he's got nothing on Steven Soderbergh in pure numbers. Soderbergh is a one of a kind post-new Hollywood maverick that regularly loses himself in a myriad of styles and projects. The number of films he has output over the last 24 years rivals even famously busy filmmaking stars like Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott. He doesn't dwell incessantly on dream projects like contemporaries Quentin Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson, and aside from a handful of obvious cool, New Wave hallmarks, his films aren't easily defined as his own though imagery alone. Between experimental films like Schizopolis and Bubble he's scored two best director Oscar nominations the same year for Traffic and Erin Brockovich, and created a thriving moneymaker when he remade Ocean's 11 and its two sequels. He's also one of a select few popular auteur directors that can fail miserably ( Full Frontal) and find himself forgiven by his next release, likely due to his conservative budgets and eclectic output. In recent years Soderbergh has threatened to retire from filmmaking, and appears to be filling out the missing genre pieces in his canon, including a straight thriller/biological horror film, Contagion, and a balls out action film called Haywire.
It's pretty clear that actors love Steven Soderbergh, and his films' mainstream appeal is usually found in their high end, ensemble casts. Actors enjoy their time with Soderbergh so much they're willing to take massive pay-cuts, and participate in supportive positions. Haywire is, similar to Tarantino's Death Proof, largely built around the talents of its non-actress stuntwoman lead. Soderbergh was so taken with MMA star Gina Carano's fighting skills he put the bulk of not only the star power and action, but the bulk of the drama on her untried shoulders. In comparison Tarantino left most of the heavy lifting to his non-stunt cast, giving Zoe Bell the support she needed to do her outrageous stunts. Soderbergh takes the bigger gamble, but also supplies the bigger guns in support of his action starlet (not that I'm downplaying the skills of QT's girls by any means, I'm just being realistic about their box office draw). These include long time collaborator Michael Douglas, new best friend Channing Tatum (who is shockingly human for the first time ever), first time collaborators Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton and Antonio Banderas, and everyone's favourite new superstar Michael Fassbender (boy is he dreamy). Carano does just fine with the part, oozing unblinking, calm cool, and is generally impossible to look away from. Soderbergh and writer Lem Dobbs don't push her anywhere particularly dramatic, which works just fine for the pseudo-Bond character they're creating.
Often Soderbergh's films aren't successful thanks to their tight screenplays, but for the total sum of their parts. Sometimes those parts are dramatic interactions, sometimes they're thrills, sometimes they're laughs. In this case, the value of the parts is largely measured by the action, which is again, not something Soderbergh is known for. These days there seems to be largely three options for hand to hand action in mainstream movies: the ever enduring Hong Kong method, the Paul Greengrass, Bourne shaky-cam method, and the New French method, which mixes the previous two methods to a certain degree, and is mostly defined by the Luc Besson mediocre action machine (not to be confused with the French New Wave method). The closest I've seen to something unique in this type of movie action came about with Joe Wright's Hanna, which is at times so experimental it verges on Avant Garde. Soderbergh keeps his filming and editing techniques relatively old school, capturing the action and fisticuffs in camera without confusing the audience's eye with too much unneeded flash. To a certain extent I'd consider this steady-cam heavy, functionally edited film an anti-shaky-cam production, and outside a few 'artistic' angles, and some slightly too dark sequence towards the end of the film, Soderbergh holds true to his original concept of showcasing Carano's unique physical abilities. The fighting isn't super-intricate in terms of choreography, but captures the weight of the action well, and startlingly pulls the film out of its generally calm mode with sudden brutality. The R-rating isn't exactly earned here, but the violence rarely feels tempered.
Critically speaking Haywire received mostly positive marks, but was notoriously dumped on by audiences, who gave it a 'CinemaScore' exit score of D+. Most of the blame here was placed on the film's trailer, which promised a certain level of mindless action, and sold heavily on Carano's star appeal. Something similarly ridiculous happened with Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, which was probably the best film of 2011, but got a C- CinemaScore grade, and the production was sued by an idiot who expected Fast and Furious levels of vehicular mayhem. I don't appreciate but can understand why mainstream audiences felt burned by Refn's hyper-stoic anti-action film, but I'm not entirely clear on what went wrong between Haywire and its non-critical audiences. I suppose it might be the film's overall relaxed tone. Overall Haywire has less in common with the Americana cool Oceans Trilogy, and more in common with the definitively European Jean-Pierre Melville and John Boorman inspired The Limey, which is far from his most mainstream work. Outside the mellow flow and general lack of histrionic acting the narrative movement isn't exactly easy to follow, again, very similar to The Limey. I suppose this approach was well received when Soderbergh used it for Out of Sight, but Out of Sight never promised to be any kind of action film, and the laid back comedy was made pretty obvious in every trailer. An even more likely culprit for the low CinemaScore might be the fact that Haywire simply doesn't feature that much action, at least not as much as the jaded masses are used to these days.
Steven Soderbergh was an early adaptor of the RED camera system. He first used the RED One cameras for one half of Che ( The Argentine) in 2006, then again in 2009 for The Girlfriend Experience and The Informant!, 2010 for his Spaulding Gray documentary And Everything Is Going Fine, and he used the RED One MX for 2011's Contagion. Considering he usually acts as his own cinematographer (under the pseudonym Peter Andrews), he may have more experience with the system than any other major director working in Hollywood today. He knows exactly what it can do, and he's on his game here for this RED One MX release. This Blu-ray is presented in full 1080p HD, and is framed at 2.35:1. Haywire is very much a companion piece to Soderbergh's previous RED films, especially Contagion. The palette is a virtual rainbow of hues, and the general edge fidelity is soft and foggy, as if it were shot through a foggy prism. It's not a dirty look though, it's just a specific look. Soderbergh doesn't utilize RED's super high details to their full effect, but the system's incredible abilities to softly blend colours and contrasts. This isn't to say there aren't plenty of details and fine textures to be found throughout the film, or that such details and fine textures show major signs of compression (there's absolutely nothing in the way of edge enhancement or blocking effects), it's just that Soderbergh isn't particularly concerned with deep focus and sharp lines. The extremely eclectic colour palette, which changes repeatedly based on location, including soft, golden interiors, harsh blue-tinted, outdoor, present day shots (which feature generally the sharpest contrasts and details), and some flashbacks desaturated to the point of straight black and whiteness. I'm sure that these contrasting motifs would wreak havoc with standard definition video, especially the rich reds, which show basically no sign of digital noise.
Soderbergh tends to prefer his films run on a very natural soundscape outside of musical score, which can be an issue for vocal performance. Having just watched Contagion I definitely had issues with understanding some of the dialogue. Volume levels on this DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track are a little more consistent, but the general feel remains the same. Bombastic sound effects, like gunshots and connecting fists are usually either left entirely off the track in favour of music, or presented in a very frank, non-flashy manner. The stereo and surround channels don't get a whole lot of play in terms of effects work, which is mostly presented relatively softly in the center channel. The film makes a point of not dubbing music over the more involved fisticuffs, and I didn't really notice any directional enhancement as objects are broken the process of damaging human bodies. It's kind of disappointing as someone that enjoys aural excess, but is also a nice antidote to the Hollywood action norm. The exceptions to the rule come during paranoid sequences of Mallory attempting to avoid public detection. These scenes are still relatively low volume and centered, but do feature more stereo and surround ambience, along with a handful of subtle directional effects. David Holmes' musical score is a fun mix of ambience, modern electronic, and traditionally '60s secret agent/thriller motifs. The music is mixed very warmly, like a jazz album, which leaves some of the drums a bit thin, but creates some delightfully round bass notes, and a nice, thick sound when the brass gets busy. This is the best Ennio Morricone-style poliziotteschi score since Ennio Morricone stopped writing poliziotteschi scores.
The extras begin with Gina Carano in Training (16:00, HD), a slightly fluffy, but generally entertaining look at the actress' MMA career prep and stunts, including interviews with Carano, WEF founder/owner Jamie Levine, Soderbergh, special ops technical advisor Aaron Cohen, fight choreographer JJ Perry, Michael Fassbender and Ewan McGregor, footage from her MMA fights, pre-viz fights, and general behind the scenes footage. I'm left less impressed with Garano's skills, which she clearly has in spades, but with the untrained actors who were put against her without stunt doubles. The Men of Haywire (5:30, HD) briefly runs down the non-Carano members of the cast, and includes more interviews with Fassbender, McGregor, Channing Tatum and Antonio Banderas. Extras end with Lionsgate trailers.
Haywire isn't quite the revelatory badass action film I was hoping Steven Soderbergh had in him, but it's much better than the bitter CinemaScore audiences would have you believe, and stylistically entertaining even when fists aren't flying. This Blu-ray release isn't swimming in hyper-sharp details, but is super clean and colourful, and the relatively modest DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack warmly shows off David Holmes' fantastic original score. The extras are a bit disappointing, but still worth about 20 minutes of your time.

I loved it but I also loved Drive and think Channing Tatum is a good actor. The only issue I had with haywire was the first ten minutes with its lack of score felt like an hour and some of the score present through the rest of the movie reminded me oddly of the Pink Panther score.

I really dug this film, and I would love a Mallory Kane film series with a new director for each chapter.

Someone should convert this movie into 'pill form' and then market it as a sleep aid.

I was disappointed with Haywire, there were too many plot holes, too many people doing stupid things. In the end it felt like Soderbergh was trying to hard to make a cool film. I think there was a good film in there struggling to get out but it never came through. Shame considering the talent involved.

In 1949, Von Neumann established the Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata, where he presented for the first time the possibility of developing small replicating programs able to control other programs with a similar structure. Although the concept could have thousands of legitimate applications in computer science, it is easy to imagine negative applications of the theory outlined by Von Neumann: computer viruses, programs that replicate themselves as often as possible, increasing their population exponentially.
In 1959, in Bell Computer's laboratories, three young programmers: Robert Thomas Morris, Douglas Mcllroy and Victor Vysottsky created a game called CoreWar, based on the theory of Von Neumann and in which programs fought between each other, trying to occupy as much memory as possible and eliminating opposing programs. This game is considered the precursor to computer viruses.
In 1972, Robert Thomas Morris created the first virus as such: Creeper, which could infect IBM 360 on the ARPANET (the predecessor of the Internet) and show an on-screen message saying "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can". To eliminate it, a virus called Reaper was created to search for it and destroy it. This is the true origin of today's antivirus programs.
Throughout the 80's, as PCs became more popular, more people became tech-savvy and began to experiment with their own programs. Here we began to see the first dedicated developers of damaging programs and in 1981, Richard Skrenta wrote the first widely-spreading virus: Elk Cloner, which displayed a poem after the infected computer had restarted 50 times.
In 1984, Frederick B. Cohen first coined the phrase computer virus, in a study defining it as "a program that can `infect' other programs by modifying them to include a possibly evolved copy of itself".
In 1987, the Jerusalem or Friday 13 virus appeared which was able to infect .EXE and .COM files. It was first reported in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and became one of the most famous viruses in history.
In 1999 the Happy worm, developed by Spanska, began a new trend in malware which has continued to the present-day: the sending of worms via email.
In 2000 the rapid propagation and massive infection of the LoveLetter (I love you) virus reached the headlines around the world. This worm was also spread via email and used social engineering techniques to trick users. This was the beginning of the era of large-scale epidemics, which reached its climax in 2004.
This was the year that saw the emergence of worms like Mydoom, Netsky, Sasser, or Bagle, designed to cause widespread alarm and largely successful in that purpose. This was the worst year for these kinds of epidemics, but curiously, also the last. Malware creators began to realize that their abilities could be used for more than just making headlines… they could also make money.
In 2005, cyber-crooks began to realize that malware creation could become a profitable business model
Among the most lucrative types of malicious code are banker Trojans.
This type of malware is designed to steal confidential details, particularly related to online banking, and is often propagated through exploits, spam or other malware which downloads the banker Trojan onto computers.
Other latent threats related with the malware business model include spyware and adware, where some software firms allow users to use an application in exchange for monitoring their Internet activity.
As mobile phones and other mobile devices have become more popular, they have also become a target for the malware industry.
In 2004 Cabir.A and ComWar.A emerged as the first examples of malicious code designed to target these devices. ComWar.A not only spread through Bluetooth but also through MMS messages, sending itself to its victims' contacts. Nowadays there is malware designed for all the most widely-used platforms: Symbian, PocketPC, Palm, etc, and propagation channels include SMS, MMS, IrDA, Bluetooth, etc.
The most frequently targeted operating system today is still Windows 32-bit. As we mentioned previously, malware creators have seen the financial potential for their activity and as Windows accounts for 90 percent of the market, it is easy to see why it is the focus of their attention. Perhaps another obstacle for creators of malware for Linux and Macintosh is related to the medium/high level of knowledge of users of these types of platforms, and so social engineering, the main method of propagation, will not be as effective as with other users.

I wanted to share my recent experience with Dr Lupanzula in Brussels. I've benefited a lot from reading people's experiences and watching their surgeries mature over the years before choosing to take the plunge, and in turn I hope somebody will find mine helpful. Thank you to Dr Lupanzula and team, and I want to give a shoutout to Mickey85 and Joe Tillman. Both have helped me tremendously over the years when I was researching HTs and helped me with my decision. I will follow up with pictures soon.
After arriving from Brussels, I took a cab to the Hotel Catalonia (didn't want to bother with public transport). I had thought the hotel's name sounded familiar, as it turns out, it is directly across the street from Dr. Bisanga's clinic (which looks a little bit like a castle). So it's nice that they regularly get HT patients. The hotel is affordable, and in a nice area.
The Area
The surrounding area is very picturesque, very old world, and not heavily populated. Most people speak English well, so you can get around. The main language here is French, and it's helpful to know it. But you can get by with English. Near the hotel there is a Chez Frances restaurant for breakfast, and a nice Thai place called Thai Cafe. I chilled in the area for a day before heading to the clinic.
The Clinic
The clinic is about a ten minute walk directly south from the Hotel Catalonia. Upon entering, I was greeted by the clinic's patient coordinator Giancarlo. Giancarlo is fluent in multiple languages. The clinic has a very modern design, very "Bauhaus", with plenty of white, and clean lines throughout.
We then met with Dr Lupanzula. He looked through my donor and recipient, and went over my family's history. He noted that while the area to cover was significant, I was a good candidate for a few reasons: 1) Good donor hair - coarse, wavy hair that aids in the illusion of coverage. 2) Darker skin, which reduces contrast, and 3) A good number of multi follicular units. He snipped off hairs to measure the shaft caliber. Then he shaved my head.
I admittedly was not looking forward to this. But it was a good idea, not only does it save time the next morning, it puts you in the "zone" mentally for surgery. What's more, I decided that a shaved head, while not the best look, wasn't the worst one either for me, so it's good to know. Post shaving, he measured my donor density under magnification, with the parietal areas having just below 100 grafts/cm and the occipital around 110. He estimated that my donor capacity, if we harvested 30%, would be around 7,000 units, and if we harvested 40% (which would be on the border of over-harvesting), about 9,000. All in all, he considered me a good candidate.
He drew a hairline, which I was fine with. I wanted a conservative hairline, but at the same time we still want to make a visual impact. The plan was to harvest and implant most of the grafts on day 1, with the hairline to follow on day 2.
Day 1
Day 1 began early, since you're supposed to eat before, I grabbed some croissants from a bakery right across the corner that happened to be open at 6:30am. The Dr gave me the meds and it was time to roll. After changing into hospital scrubs, he gave me anesthetic injections in the back of the scalp. Btw, I knew anesthetic injections were the most painful part of the surgery, and it was true, I found them to be very painful, and they are required multiple times throughout the surgery as a different area is operated, either for harvesting, or implantation. Then again, they are obviously required, so there is no getting around it.
Dr Lupanzula uses a a CIT handle manual punch to score grafts. He harvested grafts from the back and sides, one after another. He has a distinctive punching motion where at the end of the forward twisting motion he pushes in the tool slightly, which was noticeable. Afterwards, the grafts were plucked out. This is a weird feeling, you feel a slight popping sensation, similar to how a grape or a berry is plucked off the stem.
Keep in mind, you have to stay very still during the procedure, and notify the Dr before moving. Staying still can get difficult when the parietal areas are being harvested because you are lying on your side.
The team inspects the grafts under microscope and prepares them for re-implanting. Grafts are stored in ATP Hypothermosol. After harvesting we had lunch. The clinic eats lunch together in their break room, which is nice. Everybody in the clinic speaks English, so language is never a problem.
Two steps to implantation, recipient site creation and placement. After anesthesia, the doctor used needles to make incisions. This is an interesting process. He moves very quickly in creating the incisions. There is a lot of power, and you can feel the fibrotic scalp being punctured. Given the speed and power, it feels powered by a machine, but it is manual. This process is actually surprisingly pleasurable. Who would think that having 2-3,000 holes poked into your scalp feels good, but it does. Patients who have been operated by the implanter pen also report the same thing.
Afterwards, his team places the grafts. This last part takes time. Afterwards they had me bandaged, and I was off to the hotel at about 6pm. Afterwards, I sprayed my grafts every 15-20 minutes with saline.
Day 2
This day was going to be shorter by design, as 2K grafts were harvested on Day 1 with 1K to follow. The same process followed as the day before, however we were done earlier. Then the clinic bandaged me up and I headed home.
Day 1 Postop
Day 1 was the first clinic hair wash. His wife, Sandra washed my scalp, spraying Betadine shampoo on both donor and recipient, and massaged the donor vigorously, and then applied an antibiotic creme to the donor. This is to be done everyday for the first 7 days (which I have done) and afterwards the recipient site should be gently massaged after applying Betadine shampoo.
The clinic had a driver take me to the airport afterwards for my flight. I had originally chosen to fly immediately to avoid traveling while swollen, but I didn't experience visible swelling, in retrospect, I would have stayed in Brussels longer, just to give my grafts more time to set before moving. The flight was fine, and to note, it was not uncomfortable or painful to fly after surgery. I had a neck pillow to prevent the donor area from touching the seat rests. I wore a bandanna outside, but took it off when inside the plane, and regularly sprayed with saline.
I have finished 1 week postop, and the clinic has remarked that all looks appropriate.
Single: 621
Double: 1,295
Triple: 1,183
Quadruple: 261
Quintuple: 21
Sextuple: 1
Total Grafts: 3,382
2.34 hairs/graft
Hair caliber: parietal/temporal: 55-60 mic., occipital: 60-70 mic.
Density: 45 grafts/cm in outlined area, 40/grafts/cm behind it.
Medications: Finasteride and Dutasteride alternated daily, Minoxidil Foam 1x day.

Pet Project: Keeping Animals Safe When Disaster Strikes
APNM Supporting Efforts to Improve Evacuation Plans
Ever since the devastating images of pets left behind during Hurricane Katrina, and after major evacuations of Los Alamos and Ruidoso in 2011 and 2012, more New Mexicans are thinking about how to deal with the evacuation needs of over 70 percent of New Mexican families who have companion animals. Leaving animals behind not only endangers the animals but creates potential risks and loss for people as well.
For over a year, Animal Protection of New Mexico (APNM), a statewide animal advocacy organization, has been working at all levels to increase awareness and encourage more conversations about this important piece of emergency management. Working with state agencies, community groups, and local emergency managers, APNM is expanding their online Disaster Preparedness information and developing a statewide Emergency Animal Resources Guide for use by emergency response officials.
Today, a number of individual citizens, local organizations, and dedicated emergency managers are taking significant steps toward making a big difference for animals in community planning and preparedness efforts around the state. Local and county agencies are rewriting emergency operations and evacuation plans, exploring options to locate emergency animal shelters at or near human shelters, coordinating with neighboring jurisdictions for animal sheltering support, expanding training opportunities for animal response teams, and including animal scenarios in emergency exercises and drills.
Individuals can do the same by creating their own plans, talking to neighbors about a buddy system if they're not home during an evacuation, and conducting family fire drills with their animals. Sharon Jonas, APNM's Disaster Preparedness Program Coordinator, recommends making a 'To Do List' today to start your own disaster planning. "Write down everything you need to do to be ready if you have to evacuate: creating an evacuation plan, preparing Emergency Kits for both people and animals, deciding where you would go and where to take your animals," suggests Ms. Jonas. "Then make more detailed lists of what to put in your Emergency Kits, what supplies you need, which documents to gather, what to research online, and who to call." Having proper identification with your animals, photos of you and your animals, and copies of vaccination records are also critical for emergency sheltering or if your animal is lost.
APNM's Disaster Preparedness webpage (apnm.org/disaster) has a wide range of advice and resources on disaster planning, updates on what's happening around the state, and contacts for volunteers.
Additional Resources and Information:
Keeping You and Your Animals Safe When Disaster Strikes
When it's not safe for you, it isn't safe for your animals either. With another dangerously dry year, one can't help but think, What would I do with my animals? Where would we go? How would I move them? ...take care of them? ...keep them safe? If you haven't already answered these questions yourself to make your own plan, Animal Protection of New Mexico (APNM) suggests you begin TODAY.
2. Supplies for your Animal Emergency Kit for 3-7 days away from home.
3. What you'll need to do, a detailed Evacuation Plan for both people and animals.
3. Safe Places to bring your animals. Contact information for friends, family, pet-friendly hotels, animal shelters or veterinarians in nearby communities (confirm arrangements first).
4. Grab-And-Go List of important last-minute items not in your Evacuation Kit.
5. ID Ready. Have identification and emergency contact number with your animal (always); microchip your animals; label collars, harnesses, crates and carriers; have a photo of you with your animals.
6. Become part of the solution in your community:
- Join New Mexico Citizen Corps or offer to help create a planning committee (contact www.nmdhsem.org/Citizen_Corp.aspx, 505-476-9633 or your local emergency manager)
- Participate in training or rescue exercises for you or your animals
- Ask your county or municipal Emergency Management Office about what's going on in your community to address the needs of families with companion animals during a disaster and how you can help
- Become an emergency response volunteer or join a volunteer network at:
> APNM at 505-265-2322, ext. 23
> Your local animal shelter (see local listings or APNM's NM Animal Resources Guide at www.apnm.org/nmarg)

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur Statement
May 4, 2012
Docket No. FA11-21-000
The NERC Audit Report
Today, Commission staff issued a performance audit of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). The audit sets forth numerous concerns regarding NERCs operation and focus. As described in the audit, NERC has expressed strong disagreement with some of the audit findings.
I have a high degree of confidence in FERC audit staff. However, I believe the issuance of this audit without a Commission vote was inconsistent with Commission regulations. Given the importance of NERCs role as the Electric Reliability Organization charged with overseeing the reliability of the bulk power system, and the scope and significance of todays audit, I believe the audit report as presented by staff should have been subject to a vote of the full Commission prior to issuance.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Six members of the Coker College men's soccer team were named to the Conference Carolinas academic all-conference team today. Seniors Noah Lascell, David Pent and James Sweeney, as well as juniors Atticus Lum, Brendan McCarron and Tyler Staub were all named to the team.
Lascell hails from Myrtle Beach, S.C., and is a criminology major; Sweeney is a mathematics major from Huntingtown, Md.; Pent is a business major from Lexington, S.C.; Lum, an Advance, N.C., native, and McCarron, who is from Tampa, Fla., are both biology majors; Staub hails from Murrells Inlet, S.C., and is a business and political science double major.
"I'm very proud of our team's performance in the classroom as much as on the soccer field," head coach Paul Leese said. "It can be tough to balance a challenging academic workload with such a competitive soccer program. Recruiting well-rounded student-athletes is a priority as their overall leadership within the team contributes greatly to our success."
Conference Carolinas awards junior and senior student-athletes with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all work completed at their member institution who have played in a conference sponsored sport. The GPA is calculated based on the student-athletes' cumulative average through the previous semester, and each student-athlete must have attended his or her member institution for at least one academic year.
Conference Carolinas is a NCAA Division II athletic conference made up of 12 teams from North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. These institutions consist of: Barton College, Belmont Abbey College, Coker College, Converse College, Erskine College, King College, Lees-McRae College, Limestone College, Mount Olive College, North Greenville University, Pfeiffer University and Queens University of Charlotte.
For more information, contact Chris Dougherty, manager of athletics media relations, at 843-383-8018 or email@example.com.

Defining Torture: Russian Roulette, Yes. Mind-Altering Drugs, Maybe.
F all the memos released by the White House last week in response to the prison abuse scandal in Iraq, none have been more incendiary than the so-called torture memo, dated Aug. 1, 2002, and written by Jay S. Bybee, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department.
The department and the White House have distanced themselves from the document. But the memorandum's antiseptic discussion of the definition of torture is likely to continue to fuel the debate. Following are a few excerpts.
The memo starts by explaining that some acts may be "cruel, inhuman or degrading" but not constitute torture under Section 2340, the federal law criminalizing torture. To rise to the level of torture, it argues, the acts must be of an extreme nature, specifically intended to inflict severe pain or suffering, mental or physical. But the statute is vague on the meaning of "severe," so the authors try to construct one.
In the absence of such a definition, we construe a statutory term in accordance with its ordinary and natural meaning. The dictionary defines severe as "unsparing in exaction, punishment or censure" or "inflicting discomfort or pain hard to endure; sharp; afflictive; distressing; violent; extreme; as severe pain, anguish, torture" "extremely violent or grievous, severe pain" "of pain, suffering, loss, or the like: grievous, extreme" and "of circumstances hard to sustain or endure." Thus the adjective "severe" conveys that the pain or suffering must be of such a high level of intensity that the pain is difficult for the subject to endure.
A good model, the memo suggests, can be found in statutes regulating what kind of emergency medical conditions qualify for payments of health benefits.
Although these statutes address a substantially different subject from Section 2340, they are nonetheless helpful for understanding what constitutes severe pain. They treat severe pain as an indicator of ailments that are likely to result in permanent and serious physical damage in the absence of immediate medical treatment. Such damage must rise to the level of death, organ failure or the permanent impairment of a significant body function. These statutes suggest that "severe pain" as used in Section 2340, must rise to a similarly high level, the level that would ordinarily be associated with a sufficiently serious physical condition or injury such as death, organ failure or serious impairment of body functions in order to constitute torture.
Turning to the matter of what constitutes severe mental pain, the memo notes that the statute prohibits torture caused by mind-altering substances, which the authors take to mean drugs. But, the memo argues, this doesn't rule out all drugs.
Instead, it prohibits the use of drugs that "disrupt profoundly the sense or the personality." By requiring that the procedures and the drugs create a profound disruption, the statue requires more than that the acts "forcibly separate" or "rend" the senses or personality. Those acts must penetrate to the core of an individual's ability to perceive the world around him, substantially interfering with his cognitive abilities or fundamentally alter his personality.
The authors say they cannot find a definition of profound mental disruption in mental health literature or United States law, so they offer some examples of their own.
Such an effect might be seen in a drug-induced dementia. In such a state, the individual suffers from significant memory impairment, such as the inability to retain any new information or recall information about thin previously of interest to the individual. This impairment is accompanied by one or more of the following: deterioration of language function, e.g., repeating sounds and words over and over again; impaired ability to execute simple motor activities, e.g., inability to dress or wave goodbye; inability to recognize and identify objects such as chairs or pencils despite normal vision functioning. Moreover, we think that pushing someone to the brink of suicide, particularly where the person comes from a culture with strong taboos against suicide and it is evidenced by acts of self-mutilation, would be a sufficient disruption of the personality to constitute a "profound disruption."
The torture statute also says that severe mental pain can result from the threat of imminent death, the authors note. Imminent, however, is the operative word.
Threats referring vaguely to things that might happen in the future do not satisfy this immediacy requirement. Such a threat fails to satisfy this requirement not because it is too remote in time but because there is a lack of certainty it will occur. Indeed, timing is an indicator of certainty that the harm will befall the defendant. Thus, a vague threat that someday the prisoner might be killed would not suffice. Instead, subjecting a prisoner to mock executions or playing Russian roulette with him would have sufficient immediacy to constitute a threat of imminent death.
The authors then look to the federal Torture Victims Protection Act to see how it defines torture. They note that the courts have not given lengthy analysis on this subject. But at least seven acts consistently reappear in decisions about violations of the law, suggesting to the authors at least seven firm examples of torture.
1) Severe beatings using instruments such as iron barks, truncheons and clubs; 2) threats of imminent death, such as mock executions; 3) threats of removing extremities; 4) burning, especially burning with cigarettes; 5) electric shocks to genitalia or threats to do so; 6) rape or sexual assault, or injury to an individual's sexual organs, or threatening to do any of these sorts of acts; and 7) forcing the prisoner to watch the torture of others. While we cannot say with certainty that acts falling short of these seven would not constitute torture under Section 2340, we believe that interrogation techniques would have to be similar to these in their extreme nature and in the type of harm caused to violate the law.
In an appendix, the memo lists several cases in which American courts have ruled that the victim was tortured. One case describes what happened to three Americans who were held as hostages in Lebanon. They sued the government of Iran for its role in their kidnapping.
Plaintiff was kidnapped at gunpoint. He was beaten for several days after his kidnapping. He was subjected to daily torture and threats of death. He was kept in solitary confinement for two years. During that time, he was blindfolded and chained to the wall in a 6-foot-by-6-foot room infested with rodents. He was shackled in a stooped position for 44 months, and he developed eye infections as a result of the blindfolds. Additionally, his captors did the following: forced him to kneel on spikes; administered electric shocks to his hands; battered his feet with iron bars and struck him in the kidneys with a rifle; struck him on the side of his head with a hand grenade, breaking his nose and jaw; placed boiling tea kettles on his shoulders; and they laced his food with arsenic.
The memo ends by noting two cases in which courts ruled there was no torture.
The plaintiff was held for eight days in a filthy cell with drug dealers and an AIDS patient. He received no food, no blanket and no protection from other inmates. Prisoners murdered one another in front of the plaintiff. The court flatly rejected the plaintiffs claim that this constituted torture.

HAD - Hospital care at home
The original of this document is produced by "CHIVA" in the Ariège. It explains what happens if you opt for Hospitalisation à Domicile (HAD) with the support of that particular hospital team. However, every HAD team operates on a similar basis so this should give an idea of what to expect wherever you are in France.

It�s been a few weeks since Napster has been filtering over half of the MP3�s on their network, and to be honest, I could care less. There are dozens of alterative networks out there, and even ways to get around the Napster filtering (by obfuscating the song titles, or by using Pig Latin like Aimster does). What I want to know is what you use, and why?
Oh, and I want to share the latest funny Napster movie circulating out there while we are on topic, I think you'll agree that we all need to help the recording industry make some more money… *cough* *cough*. Now tell me what you think.

NOTE: Clicking links will set/change vehicle selection.
Brand DescriptionInnovative strength has always been the engine of our success. MAHLE has grown from a small test workshop into a global company and technology leader. The success story begins in 1920 when pistons made of heavy gray cast iron were being used in internal combustion engines for automobiles. The Mahle brothers, in contrast, were producing light alloy pistons at their small, newly established company. To keep dirt and dust out of the engine, they eventually developed air and oil filters. Their perseverance paid off as the light-alloy pistons began to take over the market. Today, every second automobile produced worldwide contains MAHLE components. MAHLE offers systems solutions ranging from power cell units and fully assembled cylinder heads to complete engine assembly and also provides expertise in the entire air management system. At our research and development centers worldwide, we are working on innovations for greater power, reduced consumption and emission values, and better performance throughout the complete system.

October 12, 1917 - May 23, 2013
Newburgh, NY
Joseph Costa, 95 of Town of Newburgh passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence in Newburgh, NY on May 23, 2013. He was born on October 12, 1917 in Newburgh, NY to Anthony Costa and Josephine Cannistraci Costa.
Joe proudly served his country in the U S Navy on the USS Alabama BB-60 during World War II from 1942 to 1946. In 1946 along with his brothers Louis and Bill, he started Costa Beverages in the City of Newburgh which was in business for 42 years, closing in 1988.
He also served for 8 years as an Orange County legislator and was active in the Orange County Republican party for many years. As a county legislator, Joe was instrumental in bringing Orange County Community College to the City of Newburgh, which was one of his proudest accomplishments. He also advocated the transition and responsibility of Algonquin Park from the City of Newburgh to the Orange County Park System. Joe was a moving force in the creation of the sewer district, single-handedly creating and circulating the petition which eventually led to the development of Union Avenue and Route 17K. Joe was also a real estate broker for 40 years.
On January 21, 1943, he married Roberta Lee "Bobbie" Costa who predeceased him on March 5, 1977. Together they had four children -- Patricia, Michael (Barbara), Thomas (Denise) and Mary Ann Joy (James) who survive him. He was also predeceased by his siblings Louis, William, Angelo, Annunciata, Joan, and Marie.
On August 19, 1984 he married Eva Monaco Costa who survives him along with her children Fred (Beth) and Carmen Monaco. He is also survived by his sister, Theresa Costa Hubbard; his grandchildren Matthew (Emily), Alexander and Zachary Costa, Leslie, Christine and Joseph Joy, Nicholas, Meredith, Lindsay (James) Tateo and Jeffrey Monaco, Kimberly (Jared) Keil, Lindsay (Harry) Ralph, Jaimie Lorenzut and great grandchild, Allison Keil; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be on Monday, May 27, 2013 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave., Newburgh, NY. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at Sacred Heart Church at 11 a.m., Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery, New Windsor.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joseph's name to the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence, 1 Sunrise Lane, Newburgh, NY 12550.

- The Nick Collins loss hurts. Peprah did fill in nicely last year for Burnett when he went down. And Burnett has flashed some moments already of serious talent. But Burnett is not Collins and the Packers will miss Collins. Collins is fast, a good hitter, generally takes good angles and has a knack for causing turnovers. He will be missed.
- That said, it's not all doom and gloom in the secondary. In fact, when considering the present state of the pass defense – a fair argument could be made that it's simply not possible to play any worse as a pass defense. It can only get better from here. Tramon being back will help.
- So far the Bears have given up 11 sacks in two games. That's really bad. Now that Gabe Carimi is out, that could make them even more vulnerable. However, if Martz and Cutler truly do change the offensive game plan (like they've said they would) to run more and to throw quicker/shorter passes, they may be able to reduce the damage a bit. Only problem with that is that I'm not sure Cutler is well-suited to a quick passing game. There is just something about Cutler's style – he doesn't seem to play with the sense of urgency the great QBs of today play with. I think, at least sometimes, Cutler isn't thinking/deciding quick enough and that's part of the reason he gets sacked so much.
- This is a strange game. I can see the Packers losing or the Packers winning comfortably. The thing I can't see is a close, exciting game. If the Pack loses, the team will shrug it off and quickly move on. A loss for us would be far less damaging to the Pack than a loss for the Bears. And a blowout by the Packers, which is very possible, would result in the Bears being done for the year. As you may remember, I have the Bears going 5-11 this year. One of these weeks their team direction (down) will become very apparent.
- Dom Capers needs to step up his game some. Not only has the D looked ragged, but already in just the first 2 games there have been some specific defensive play calls that were really bad. In game 1, with the Saints driving at the end he called a blitz for two of his most exhausted defenders (Hawk and Bishop) – one of whom continues to prove he's too slow to EVER get a blitz call (Hawk). The call led to an easy completion by Brees of 20+ yards keeping the drive alive. At that moment, it was an incredibly bad call. But the horrendous pass defense needs to be figured out asap. I know Collins' injury hurts but like I said before, it can't possibly get any worse. Capers needs to figure out different blitz/rush packages to take advantage of the attention paid to Matthews. And/or he needs to start lining Matthews up all over to throw offenses off. If S'oto were healthy I think he'd fill this role nicely. But I'm not sure if he's playing Sunday and the other guys aren't cutting it. We may need to bring more regular pressure from Woodson and the CBs and safeties. Last week Cam Newton had a few plays where he had so much time back there that anyone could have completed a pass. If there is such a thing as a coverage sack, there ought to be such a thing as a no-pass-rush-completion.
- If there is such a thing as a coverage sack, there ought to be such a thing as a no-pass-rush-completion. (I restated this as a separate bullet point because I like it.)
- Forte is a huge part of the Chicago offense. Last week, we let RB Jonathan Stewart catch 8 passes for 100 yards. While we totally shut down the running game, we didn't shut down the short passing game to Stewart. Forte can do this same thing to us and we need to do everything possible to wrap him up. I almost think we should consider having Woodson or Bishop or someone shadow Forte/have primary responsibility for him. Let the other guys beat us if they can, but don't let Forte beat us.
- Considering that the Bears play a cover 2 that for whatever reason seems to give Rodgers a bit of trouble (at least w/re to getting his WRs involved), I'd recommend that MM work particularly hard early on to get Starks and Grant involved in the passing game. Some running plays, play action, screens, RBs in the slot, fake handoffs – whatever. Get these guys involved to bring the safeties in and condense the field. Then take advantage of the inevitable cheating by the Bears' safeties and take some shots deep – expanding the field.
- Final prediction: Packers 31, Bears 13.

My thoughts:
* I actually thought once the Panthers went up 13-0, the defense looked pretty good. Here's how the Panthers drives ended after that: Punt, Interception, Punt, Interception, Fumble, Interception, Field goal, Downs, TD.
* The defense has also looked very good in the redzone (a big part of the win in both games–I think that's why CAR didn't go for it when they had 4th+1 at the goal line: too much respect for the D)
* I noticed that, other than the long TD to Devery Henderson, Saints didn't get any big plays on offense. I suspect that's how GB@CHI is going to be: not a lot of big plays, and close into the 2nd half.
* The Bears are really going to want to win this game. Given the state of their o-line and WR corps, they're going to have a very tough time of it, but I expect there's going to be a lot of hard hits, and Urlacher, Peppers, and Tillman will all be fired up.

Dave you are a real Glass Half Full kind of guy. I wish I had that kind of optimism. Me, I fall on the Half Empty side of the ledger. 951 total yards of offense for the Opponents is not good defense its fllpin awful. If the Bears get 400+ this week chalk it up as a loss.
I am hoping Capers gets the problem solved this week. If he does, Pack wins no sweat. If he doesn't it's a big L

Starks will be key in this game. Bear D is bend and don't break and hope one or two broken plays in row end your drive. Beating it takes patience and the most effective way is to run effectively on first down. Starks is the key.
On defense, it has all been about the lack of pass rush. I think Capers has been saving his best blitz stuff for this game. he sent Woodson a bunch last time we played them….
This game means everything to the Bears but packers prevail.
Packers 38. Bears 29

I'm expecting Lovie Smith to use a lot of screen passes. He's got to be expecting us to rush his QB, especially with their depleted line. I'd expect coach MM to respond by keeping someone (Desmond B?) "home" and play the screen.
This speculation is related to your earlier words on keeping DB on Forte. I don't know if Forte gets all the screens, but he's the likely candidate.

It's probably safe to say that Jennifer Lawrence didn't bring just one rolling carry-on when she flew to Cannes. The Hunger Games star wore a total of four different outfits for her first day at this year's French film festival.
Kicking things off in head-to-toe Christian Dior (no shocker there), the face of Miss Dior wore a crocheted, ruffled bustier along with black trousers and ultra-pointy bright pumps for the Catching Fire photo call.
PHOTO: See Carey Mulligan's black pantsuit at Cannes!
She ditched Dior for more Dior at her next stop, selecting a black-and-white Christian Dior gown, plus stacked Jimmy Choo sandals. And despite the fact that thieves had allegedly taken off with an estimated million bucks worth of Chopard jewelry the day before, the brand was able to loan Lawrence a pair of emerald-and-diamond drop earrings, a diamond bracelet and one jaw-droppingly huge emerald-and-diamond cocktail ring for the Jimmy P premiere.
PHOTOS: See more of the stunning red carpet gowns from Cannes!
For the beach-side party at the Baoli Club celebrating her movie, Lawrence made a quick change into a strapless white Dior dress with a silhouette similar to her previous look. The design featured a pop of color via a printed bouquet at the hip, which she coordinated with bold pink Jimmy Choo heels.
But Lawrence didn't stick to that outfit for long. Once inside the party, she made her fashion finale with a sleeveless gray dress with a sheer panel at the legs, accessorized with a woven pink clutch and what appear to be the black peep-toes from Outfit #2.
So, which of Jennifer Lawrence's four looks do you love most?
