Warren Sapp has never been shy of expressing his thoughts or feelings. This is why if Sapp is making the rounds at the Super Bowl's week-long radio row and generating some buzz. On Thursday he was asked about a number of subjects regarding the Pro Football Hall of Fame class and the upcoming Super Bowl by Miami sports station 560 WQAM, and that included some questions about Sapp's Miami Hurricanes.
He was not all that thrilled about the current state of The U.
"Don't talk to me about Al Golden and whatever that D-coordinator's name is," Sapp said. "Don't hire someone you can't fire. That's the golden rule. The D-coordinator is killing my school. That looks like no Miami defense in the history of our school; even when [Howard] Schnellenberger was getting it started!"
The defensive coordinator Sapp did not bother to mention by name is Mark D'Onofrio, who has come under fire for struggling defenses the last couple of seasons at Miami. The Hurricanes finished 10th in the ACC each of the last two seasons in scoring defense. Miami was 13th in the 14-team ACC in total defense in 2013.
Sapp also took exception with Golden interviewing for the head coaching vacancy at Penn State.
"Go home," Sapp said when reminded Golden was a Penn State alum. "You don't need to interview at home if you know what home is. Go home."
Clearly Golden has some work to do to smooth over relations with some members of the Miami football family.

Why, you can save through all of them, of course!
That was a key part of the intuition that gave rise to the three savings types outlined in BFA's InFocus Note #3: Combining demand and supply side insights to build a better proposition for banks and clients. This post walks through a some of the highlights of this Note.
The Need for A New Savings Nomenclature
But, you may ask, why on earth do we need to come up with new types? Well, mostly because we didn't find anything out there that did justice to the nuances in savings behavior we were seeing, and because we had tons and tons of data and so could segment at the granularity that client-based surveys could not accommodate. Systematic classification of savings types is sparse, and frankly, my favorite is still the oldie-but-goldie from Stuart Rutherford's The Poor and Their Money. There is "saving up," "saving down," and "saving through." You can read about this here, here and here, but basically the first is classic savings, the second is classic credit, and the third is a mixture of the two (like health insurance). Turns out voluntary savings accounts can display behavior that cannot be satisfactorily classified into one of these three.
We were also looking for pattern based matches solely based on account and balance information from the MIS, without any clue as to why savers were doing what they were doing. (We went on to combine this with client surveys afterwards, but that's another story.) The patterns had to be sensible and discernible from each other, but they also had to be very precise to match the precision of the data we had on our hands. And on a personal level, it just fun to be able to craft software bots that crawl through the 0's and 1's to provide the kind of insights we gained!
X101: The A, B and C of Savings
Anyway, so coming back to our mattress->cow story… One can save a small amount, or a larger one. One can save it for a short period of time, or longer. And, one can save it in a form that allows ready access to cash, or in one that takes a bit of effort to liquidate. Generally speaking, one tends to store smaller amounts of money for a shorter period of time in a more liquid form at one end of the spectrum, and larger amounts of money for longer periods of time in rather illiquid forms.
Combining this intuition with our mattress-savings club-cow triptych gives us:
(Source: InFocus Note #3, page 8 )
As self-explanatory as this graph is to you and me, it means absolute jack to Python, our programming language of choice. We needed a way to translate what you are seeing above to numerically defined filters that classified accounts based on one of more indicators.
We settled on the following rules for our pet algorithms through a process that relied largely on descriptive analytics of the underlying dataset and Daryl Collins' extensive experience with the financial lives of the poor – a process that was really part science, and part art.
(Source: InFocus Note #3, page 18 )
Note that while clients may display all three types of behaviors, not all are welcome by banks. Type A are particularly expensive to maintain, since they not maintain adequate balances for the bank to book sufficient income on the float of that balance.
Not all accounts would fall into one of the three types. The two below captured the leftovers with some level of activity. Those which showed no activity are simply marked dormant.
(Source: InFocus Note #3, pages 18, 19)
The "Active but nor Savings" bucket contains accounts that display "dump and pull" behavior, where individuals use the account as a temporary repository between when cash inflows and outflows, and is typical of salary deposits or social grants.
We call this entire nomenclature "X101". The genesis of this name involves thinking of this exercise as an X-ray that provides a basic-level dissection of savings accounts.
The X101 Wagon Wheel
Once we apply this nomenclature to the underlying savings accounts, we get breakdown that are specific for each of the financial institutions we looked at. One example is given below; it'll give us a sense of the kind of information we can get from something even this aggregated. (Source: InFocus Note #3, page 10)
So.. it seems that for the 3 million accounts in question:
- A full half of the accounts are dormant! (Yes, it's amusing how the number is exactly 50%..) Uptake followed by non-usage is a nagging problem for many of these institutions.
- About half of the accounts that are not dormant display A-, B- or C-type behavior. Seems like only a quarter of the accounts this institution services are really saving.
- B-type saving is hard to do! Recall that this is the one analogous to the savings clubs, which requires considerable discipline. But voluntary savings accounts do not have discipline enforcement mechanisms by definition, and few have incentives either.
- The rest are about evenly split between the "dump and pull"-ers and the folks who can maintain some kind of balance some of the time, but not all the time.
Is this what you would have expected, based on what you know about savings accounts?
Looking through the X101 Lens
Now that we have this classification of the accounts, we can look at existing information through a new lens, so to speak. Two examples are given below.
The first involves asking how much it costs to support each of these types of accounts. Below are the net revenue numbers in USD for one of the banks:
(Source: InFocus Note #3, pages 12)
So.. other than Type B, all other types are losing money for the savings division.. Not so good from a financial sustainability point of view, specially considering Type Bs typically make up a small sliver of total savers. (These figures include the amortized customer acquisition costs and monthly maintenance charges, by the way.) This sort of analysis is the beginning of the discussion surrounding the business case of savings accounts, and how things can be different.
The second involves this thing called "channel dominance" – a creation of the venerable David Porteous. Financial institutions offer their services through different channels, such as branches, ATMs, agents, mobile vans, mobile phones etc. We consider an account to be displaying a certain channel dominance if the number of transactions the client conducts using that channel exceed those conducted through any other channel by at least 50%.
For one of the banks, the breakdown of channel dominance by X101 types looked like so ("Other" implies that the account did not fall in any one of the dominance buckets):
(Source: InFocus Note #3, pages 16)
So .. we see that:
- Type A savers love ATMs! Easiest to withdraw cash, maybe?
- Type B savers really love branches! Could going to branches be providing some of the discipline needed for this kind of saving?
- Type C savers don't really have a particular preference between ATMs or branches, but they sure don't like agents… Maybe access to agents makes it hard to maintain balances over a long period of time?
- Balance Managers look like Type C savers as far as the channel distribution is concerned.. Perhaps they just need a nudge or three to become Type Cs?
Yes, the purported causal chains I casually drop above are purely speculative. But this line of thinking gave food for some great discussions with the institution in question, who know their clients really, really well.
The Big Picture
I think the X101 nomenclature has the potentially to materially impact the conversation around low-income savers and their savings accounts. It's a rather quantitative approach that focuses on the how, which when married with the qualitative why provides fascinating insights into savings-oriented financial inclusion. This is important because saving is often hard for the client to do, and appropriate savings products are often challenging for the banks to design. X101 can inform this discussion, and we've been having some fascinating discussions indeed.

The mandate of the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films has been to recover and organize data that will document the history of the art of the motion picture in the United States. In addition to aiding film preservation, entries in the AFI Catalog have also become significant historical and socio-cultural documents. AFI strives to attain the highest possible level of accuracy for its entries.
Since publication of the first volumes of The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States in 1971, it has held the unique position of being the only comprehensive catalog of American motion pictures.
In 1999, film critic Kenneth Turan wrote in The Los Angeles Times: "These volumes add up to nothing less than an authoritative Oxford English Dictionary of American film."
The AFI Catalog database is an ongoing project that contains filmographic information for all American feature films produced from 1893-1972, as well as AFI AWARDS Outstanding Movies of the Year for the years 2000 through 2006. To date, the AFI Catalog database includes extensive entries on over 30,000 American feature-length and 17,000 short films.
The current project, cataloging films from 1971-1980, will be completed over the course of the next several years, with entries for the films from the 1970s to be posted on the Web site at approximately six-month intervals.
Unmatched in its level of comprehensiveness and detail, the AFI Catalog is a unique filmographic resource, providing information on every feature-length film produced in America or financed by American production companies. Detailed entries on cast, crew, plot summaries, subjects, genres and historical notes are included for each film.
Whenever possible, Catalog staff view each film and gather studio records, original reviews and all relevant secondary source material.
The American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films
has been funded by a number of national organizations and private individuals, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ahmanson Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation and Sir Paul Getty.

Licensed Clifton Short Sale Specialist providing REO Services in NJ
Selling a home in Clifton, NJ in this down economy can seem like a losing battle, but it doesnt have to be when you have the option of a short sale. Take the advice that's been put together here for you and you might be surprised just how easy selling your property can be, even when the conditions aren't ideal.
When selling your home, remove anything of a personal nature. Prospective buyers want to be able to envision the house as their own. So, the last thing they need to see are photographs or keepsakes. If possible, keep furniture to a minimum also. This way, you are creating a blank space for the potential homeowner to fill up with their own belongings.
As a seller, before showing your home to anyone, be sure to have it professionally cleaned. Cleaning the home yourself is an option, but you want to put your best foot forward so that any prospective buyer can imagine his or her family in the home. A professional cleaner will give your house a deep cleaning, without damaging anything. This will let you focus on other aspects of the sale.
Foreclosure Solutions for Homeowners in Clifton
Hiring a Realtor is worth considering when selling your home. Using a Realtor, versus selling on your own, gives you professional advice and opinions, and accurate information for pricing your home. In addition, you'll receive maximum exposure through MLS listings and advertising. This can help you achieve a faster sale and higher selling price.
If you plan on staying put and living in your home for a while, meaning the next five years or more, then now would be an excellent time to do some home improvements. Costs are at an all time low as contractors and skilled tradesmen are out of work and looking for clients.
Hire a home inspector when you are even considering a home. Looks can be deceiving. Just because a home appears to be structurally sound to the naked eye, doesn't mean it actually is. You need the services of a professional home inspector. He will go through the house, listing any problems that need to be addressed. Once you have this information, you have two options. You can either require that the seller make any repairs prior to you purchasing the house or you can get the cost of the repairs deducted from the sale price.
When pricing a home to sell, remember that it is up to you to name the asking price, not your real estate agent. You need to own your price in order to feel comfortable with it. Your agent is there simply to offer suggestions and advice of what changes to make if the home doesn't sell.
Setting the list price of the home you are putting on the market is a key part of a quick sale. If the asking price is too low, you will not get the optimal profit that is able to be made. If you list it too high, you will scare the potential buyers from even looking at your home.

While preparing your home for sale, plan some renovations. This will improve the value of your home and help make it more attractive to potential buyers. In times when construction is slow, it is easier to get a bargain on labor, as well. You can save money by renovating when the housing market is weak.
Most buyers can appreciate a spacious, tidy backyard, especially in suburban areas where lawns are typically smaller. In order to make your backyard appear larger and more attractive, remove all lawn furniture, kids' play structures, or sports equipment. If you have a pool or spa, be sure that it is well-maintained. Finally, clean up after your pets by removing toys, doghouses, and waste.
If you're selling property, remember that going the extra mile to find reliable people will always be time well spent. While you may have a trustworthy agent, you might want to second-guess referrals. This is a huge purchase and many real estate agencies are out to get every cent they can. Do your research so you can keep more of the money you've earned through your sale.
Make sure you have ample time to devote to selling your house if you intend to do it on your own. Selling without the benefit of an agent is so rare that it has a special name in the real estate business: "For Sale By Owner." FSBO is not impossible, but it does require a much greater time investment by the seller.
Late winter and early spring is the time to get your house ready to sell if you want to take advantage of the most active market season. Most family buyers are looking to avoid taking their kids out of school during the school year and they will start looking around this time. By preparing your house early, you will extend your selling season.
Clifton Foreclosure Vs a Short Sale
If you don't exhibit your home and make minor cosmetic repairs, it can be difficult to sell a home. If you do not work to advertise your home in a way that your buyers will find interest, selling a home will be nearly impossible. Remember to put yourself in your buyer's shoes.
When you put your house on the real estate market, resist the temptation to inflate your asking price. Always put a fair and reasonable price on your home. Setting an unreasonable price – even if you intend to let it fall in negotiations – establishes an unfriendly and antagonistic attitude that will make any sale an ordeal.
When you are selling a property and you want to get the most profit for your investment, concentrate on repairs. You should repair any permanent fixture on or in the property. The real estate market can be a highly competitive market and only those properties in the best shape will sell for the biggest profit.
With a little bit of creative ingenuity and a lot of great tips and advice, you can short sale your home even in this economy before going into foreclosure. Hopefully reading this info has given you the confidence to know that you can short sale your Clifton property rather then go into foreclosure.

Mining in minecraft helps you explore and discover new adventures. If you arm yourself with the right techniques you can maximize your mining in any minecraft.
You should always give priority to your safety whenever you go mining. You should never dig straight down since it is hard to tell whether the block below hide a large free-fall plummets. Similarly, you should never dig straight up since you may end up in a pool of boiling lava. Any attempt to dig straight up should be accompanied by proper placement of a ladder in a 1*1 mine shaft to prevent lava from flowing in as well as blocks gravel from falling on your head.
If you indulge in cave mining or cherry-picking you should move in a careful and methodological manner throughout the cave system. This will ensure that you spend efficient time with fewer tools throughout the mining process. You should also travel with armor, weapons, and torches when carrying out this kind of mining since you may encounter several enemies.
Besides, if you indulge yourself in shaft mining it is advisable that you dig down at an angle of 45 degree in order to reach you desired path in an effective manner. Creating of stone stairs will also help you ascend quickly without having to jump.
Again, you may either adopt e strip or branch mining once you reach the desired level. Strip mining requires you to dig horizontal corridors. You can easily get a view of all makeup in the area by skipping 2 rows at a time. Once you are through, you can easily move down level using your stairs in order to create the same pattern. On the other hand, if you adopt branch mining you are required to harvest a vein completely before moving on.

AllerAir A5AS21254140 AirMedic Pro 5 DS
From AllerAir's popular 5000 series line of air purifiers comes the AirMedic Pro 5 DS smoke air purifier. This powerful and reliable air purifier uses a selection of high quality air filters to provide top notch air filtration, odor elimination, and is specially designed to remove harmful tobacco smoke from the air.

- Pre-Filter - This is the first line of defense in the air filtration process. The pre-filter blocks larger debris and substances from passing through the air purifier and damaging the subsequent filters. The pre-filter on the Pro 5 DS is also highly effective at screening out and trapping tar from cigarette smoke.

Roxanne Pallett — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Roxanne Pallett is a British actress most known for her role on ITV soap opera 'Emmerdale' where she played Jo Sugden. Roxanne made her big screen US acting debut in 'Lake Placid 3' which is actually a real movie and not something made up just to get Roxanne in a bikini. If you want to see that, all you've got to do is ask. Who knew there was a 'Lake Placid 2,' let alone a third installment.
Roxanne took part in the fourth season of 'Dancing On Ice' in the UK and made headlines for attempting, and pulling off, the risky move 'The Headbanger' with skating partner Daniel Whiston.
Roxanne is our crush today, not only for her looks and talent, but for attempting an insane move for no other reason but to win a celebrity skating show. Also for her ability to get a ton of men to watch a figure skating clip. That's talent.

Hey ladies, my 10yo Mattie is either a classic dyslexic or just a very late bloomer. She is making great strides this year and I'm seeing her brain make progress weekly. I was so pleased this week to see her fluency improvement over the summer while we didn't do a blessed academic thing! That said, her spelling is as phonetic as it gets. We're using All About Reading and All About Spelling. She is applying what she learns in spelling, for the most part, though it's far from being applied 100%. She doesn't have a lot of visual reading experience, for obvious reasons, and is not a visual learner at all.
Her workload this year is heavy, but appropriate for her. We're doing Notgrass World History that has a good amount of daily work that is very good for her. She's LOVING the creative writing involved and I'm delighted! Add math, science (3x/week) and some grammar (2x/week) and it's just a lot.
This is my question: Can I just wait on spelling? She just has a lot of stuff in her day and her attention span runs short. (We've stopped piano lessons for this reason.) She's just a mover and I can only get so much brain engagement time. So a big part of me wants to push through all of the AAR levels (1 1/2 levels left before curriculum completion) by March or so and get back to spelling then. When she's writing her work, she knows how to use a dictionary or use Siri on her ipod to help (times have changed!) because she wants to get it right. (I let her use Siri, because otherwise she'd spend more time using the dictionary than writing.)
Does this sound reasonable?

Never Too Early for Green
In honor of the group's 50th year, the Montauk Friends of Erin will kick off the season of the green a bit early with a Halfway to St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday at 3 p.m.
But before that, at noon, the friends will unveil a new monument on the downtown green dedicated to the 50 grand marshals who have led the St. Patrick's Day parade that traditionally wakes up the sleepy hamlet after a long winter and draws thousands of people. The Amityville Highland Pipe Band will perform, and a Coast Guard color guard will lead the ceremony.
The monument will include the name of the parade's 2012 grand marshal, which usually isn't announced until late January. "It's been hard to keep it a secret since we decided early in the summer," said Joe Bloecker, the president of the friends. "I thought a monument would be a nice gesture to the grand marshals and their families, most of whom still live in Montauk," he said.
Mr. Bloecker came up with the idea for a memorial and the rest of the friends were enthusiastic about it, he said. On Tuesday morning, the East Hampton Town Board approved the monument, which has been placed just to the east of the steps to the gazebo. Construction began later that day. The materials and labor were donated by Tom and Kathy Ciccariello of the Seven Sons landscaping company.
The final piece engraved with this year's grand marshal's name will not be installed until just before the unveiling ceremony. "We can't let anyone know who it is before Saturday," Mr. Bloecker said. Rumors have been spreading for the last week.
The party afterward will run till 7 p.m. at the Old Harbor House. The $50 tickets include an open bar, a barbecue, and live music and dancing. Tickets can be bought in advance at Becker's Home Center or at the Montauk Chamber of Commerce.

I think the book was wonderful. This book reminds me of my six ferrets. I liked the pictures because they are funny, cute and silly.
I recommend this book for 3rd graders and pet lovers. You can find out a lot of information about ferrets in this book.

Collaboration in Action … A Report from Cisco Bangalore
Last month, I had the pleasure of visiting my IT team based in Bangalore, India. I was very impressed with how Cisco's four pillars of our collaboration strategy (social, mobile, virtual, visual/video) are showcased at the Bangalore campus.
Cisco's Bangalore campus is completely "smart," collaborative and sustainable and consists of five buildings accommodating 4,000+ employees (the entire India team includes 10,000 employees). I'd like to highlight some of the key aspects of our connected workspace.
The campus is highly networked with all building and security systems connected to the Internet. This enables Cisco to oversee all aspects of the buildings including facility management, safety and security, and provide an enhanced productivity and user experience from anywhere in the world.
In addition to facility controls, such as the ability to manage lights and temperature which results in energy savings, our office buildings promote sustainability. In fact, our newest building #16 is certified by the U.S. Green Building Council as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) "Platinum" (highest rating) for commercial interiors, along with LEED "Gold" for building construction. This efficient and modern facility offers 330,000 square feet over five floors offering capacity for nearly 1,000 employees.
In Bangalore, Cisco defines sustainability in three parts: social, economic and environmental. The social aspects of our smart offices are around community and collaboration, as noted above, and economic and environmental refer to cost reduction by achieving energy saving through green building design.
The Bangalore campus also takes full advantage of informational signage, which makes use of our buildings much easier and promotes awareness: employees know about space availability, "way finding," conference room availability, corporate communications, and GreenAware (what we are doing to save costs and energy), among others. A Cisco Maps feature not only enables employees to search for someone, locating their name, contact information and photo, but they can also identify precisely where that person is in the building. Cisco Maps also helps employees find available conferences rooms, zooming in on office space to find out what rooms are free.
The campus features select work areas called "Intelligent Personalized Spaces." Each work space – such as an office, cube with digital signage or a Telepresence room – can be personalized with their preference of room controls, individual photo and family photos, TV and RSS feeds that lend a personalized feel to each workspace.
The smart aspects extend to our cafeteria where employees can access kiosks to see what food items are available – with photos – along with both price and calorie count. In addition, the ability to view the queues remotely to make decisions is awesome! The Cisco Cafeteria Kiosk is currently located in the cafeteria itself, but will eventually be located in all of our building lobbies.
Another great smart building feature is our Health Presence capability. Employees can use a dedicated TelePresence room to make video calls to an on campus doctor, lending convenience and saving time that would otherwise require separate doctor visits.
So our Bangalore campus truly demonstrates all of our four collaboration pillars – enabling work collaboration through social, mobile, virtual and visual/video. It was inspiring to see all of these elements come together to make the work experience so effective! I can tell you that our India team loves the results – it truly is a collaborative, innovative and leading edge work environment.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Great to hear about the technology demonstration in the Campus buildings.
Will the same experience be provided to the employees working in the non-cisco buildings?
Until unless the employees working out in non-cisco buildings doesn't experiences the leading edge work envrionment themselves then it would be just like hearing stuff and not experiencing it.
Is it just we are near yet so far on all these stuff.

Troy - Press Archive - IGN/STAX

Troy Script Review
The Stax Report: Script Review of Troy
Stax looks at the script for the upcoming historical epic starring Brad Pitt and Eric
Bana, to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen!
November 14, 2002 - Stax here with my
reaction to the screenplay for Troy! This
157-page draft by David Benioff (Stay, The 25th Hour) is loosely based on Homer's
The Iliad. Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom will star for director Wolfgang
Petersen. Recent reports suggest that Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black), Emilio
Estevez (Mission: Impossible), and Oscar-nominee Michael Clarke Duncan (Daredevil)
are also in negotiations to join the Village Roadshow/Warner Brothers project.
Troy will film in London, Malta and Morocco this spring for a 2004 release.
Troy is only loosely based on The Iliad,
Homer's classic tale of the Trojan War.
Deleted from this account is much of the Greek mythology that peppers Homer's
story. The gods, although often mentioned, are not characters here at all; gone,
too, are such famous episodes as "the judgment of Paris." Instead, Troy offers a
realistic depiction of a historical event - the Trojan War - long thought to have
been a mere myth until Heinrich Schliemann proved otherwise.
While staying as the guest of Spartan
king Menelaus, Trojan prince Paris (Bloom)
enjoys an affair with the king's wife, Helen (Forlani?). Since her marriage to
Menelaus is loveless, Paris' appeal to return with him to Troy proves too much for
Helen to resist. Paris subsequently "abducts" Helen when he and his elder brother
Hector (Bana) sail for Troy. Paris refuses to return Helen even after Hector
protests because he knows what Menelaus will do to her. This love affair between
Paris and Helen ignites the Trojan War.
Menelaus' brother is Agamemnon, king of
the Myceneans, whose thirst for
conquest knows no bounds. While Menelaus wants to wage war on the Trojans
over wounded pride, Agamemnon sees the fall of Troy as the latest and most
prized addition to his collection of conquered civilizations. The different Greek
kingdoms under Agamemnon's rule fight for him not so much out of loyalty as fear
of reprisal. The Greek warrior kings who join the campaign against Troy include the
legendary Odysseus of Ithaca, Ajax of Salamis (Duncan?), Diomedes of Argos, and
the greatest fighter of them all, Achilles (Pitt) of the Myrmidons.
Achilles' prowess on the battlefield has
made him famous even amongst his fellow
Greeks. Although he has no true loyalty to Agamemnon, the laconic yet deadly
Achilles agrees to fight the king's new war simply for the glory of it. Accompanying
Achilles on this campaign is his adoring, beloved teenage cousin, Patroclus. Long
story short: Troy holds out better than expected against the Greeks, with the noble
Hector leading his men to a surprising victory.
The Greeks believe if they can kill Hector
then the Trojans' spirit will be broken and
they'll soon buckle. The Greeks try to convince Achilles to challenge Hector to a duel
but Agamemnon has offended Achilles' honor and now he intends on departing the war.
It is only after Hector (unwittingly) personalizes the war for Achilles that the Greek
warrior ruthlessly confronts the Trojan prince with tragic results for all involved.
Troy was a sweeping yet intimate epic
chock full of spectacle, romance, tragedy and
action. I was surprised at how poignant it turned out to be. Benioff also does a great
job in conveying a lot with very little. For such a mammoth tale, there's surprisingly
little exposition and the characters are sketched out in simple yet insightful detail.
I was particularly taken with the relationship between Hector and Paris. Hector's
"Achilles' heel", if you will, is his honor and loyalty; Paris' is his infatuation with
Helen. Paris matures during the course of this story as he realizes the far-reaching
implications of his impetuous decision. He must also come to terms with his own
cowardice. The theme of brotherhood also extends to Achilles' relationship with
Patroclus, as well as to sibling bad guys Menelaus and Agamemnon.
If Hector's tragic flaw is his own goodness
then Achilles' is vainglory. I was
surprised at how dark and unsympathetic Achilles was; I think this is the first time
since Twelve Monkeys that Brad Pitt has played the closest thing to a villain. Achilles
is this story's Darth Maul or Boba Fett, the cool, kick-ass antagonist who was, in his
own words, "born to take lives." Some readers have complained to me that they think
Pitt is too slight to play the mighty Achilles. I must admit that the thought has also
crossed my mind but Pitt has the intensity necessary for the role, and Fight Club
proved he can handle his own in a brawl. Black Hawk Down alumni Bana and Bloom
stand to gain the most from Troy; I fully expect Bana to achieve Russell Crowe-level
stardom thanks to this project.
I appreciated the ambiguity and restraint
with which Helen was portrayed here.
Scholars still debate whether Helen was a femme fatale who caused a needless war
or if she was a victim. This draft's Helen falls somewhere in between. She understands
the carnage that her affair has caused and this guilt plagues her. Still, she truly loves
Paris even after he shows all of Troy how flawed and unworthy a man he is. Helen also
has great respect for Hector, not just because he's more of a man than Paris is but
because he fights (without complaint) a war that she helped spark.
I also enjoyed the modern allusions that
Benioff slipped into Troy. While parallels
between the Trojan War and Vietnam are nothing new (after all, Oliver Stone's Platoon
was heavily influenced by The Iliad), Troy illustrates how vile and pointless war can
be when its goals and motives are so questionable. Although, like Petersen's The
Perfect Storm, Troy is ultimately a downer, it still manages to end on a note of hope.
This is all the more impressive when one recalls the tragic inevitability with which the
story progresses.
Expect Troy to be a major awards contender
when it opens in 2004. It combines the
action and spectacle of Gladiator with the romance and intimacy of Braveheart, all of
which adds up to a rather obvious formula for a Best Picture nod. Troy succeeds
because it works as a moving human drama as well as an old-fashioned sword-and-
sandal epic. - STAX

This Kaiser Health News story was produced in collaboration with NPR.
By Jenny Gold, Kaiser Health News Staff Writer
One recent morning, 86-year-old Evelyne Lois Such was sitting at her kitchen table in Denver when the phone rang. She didn't recognize the phone number or the deep voice on the other end of the line. "He asked if I was a senior, and I said yes, and he said we are sending out all new Medicare cards and I want to make sure I have all of your statistics correct," Such recounts.
"I kind of thought it was funny at first, and then I thought, you know, how dare they?" says Such. "There are some seniors who aren't well and don't think as well as they used to, and it just made me angry that they would be victimized like this."
Law enforcement agencies are reporting an increase in these sorts of health insurance scams across the country. Many of the fraudsters seem to be preying on the public's confusion over the massive changes taking place in the nation's health care system.
Seniors are often targets — they're more likely to be home to answer the phone, and they tend to have retirement savings that scammers hope to tap. But they aren't the only victims: The federal government received nearly 83,000 complaints of "imposter scams" last year-up 12 percent from the year before.
"America's rife with health scams," says James Quiggle, communications director at the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud in Washington, D.C. "Crooks are offering fake health coverage, stripped down policies masquerading as real coverage. They're also selling … fake Obamacare coverage," he explains.
Recent polls have found that well over half of Americans say they still don't understand how the new health law will affect them. "Crooks are playing on that confusion. Confusion is a crook's best friend," says Quiggle.
Related: Don't Get Scammed by Phony IRS Agents
"Fraudsters are as attuned to what's going on in the news as anybody else," says Lois Greisman, who runs the division of marketing practices at the Federal Trade Commission. "Before Katrina hit land, websites were up soliciting funds to help victims of Katrina. This is not a surprise; this is par for the course." A program as vast as the health care overhaul makes for a dangerous twist on the regular scams, she adds.
Greisman and her team are working to take down the scams as quickly as possible, but there is an endless number; scammers range from just your average amateur looking to make a quick buck, to well-organized crime rings that mass-produce fraud.
"The first line of defense is don't take a call from out of the blue from anyone who's offering to help you navigate the new health care market," cautions Greisman. "Those kinds of cold calls just shouldn't take place, same thing with an unsolicited email, an unsolicited text."
Many people see through those sorts of simple scams, says Sally Hurme, an elder law attorney at AARP. "But even if one in a thousand falls for the scam and gives up info or agrees to send information off to who knows where, they've made [the scammer's] day. That's what their job is," says Hurme. As the Affordable Care Act ramps up, the country is likely to see more frequent insurance scams, and they're likely to get more sophisticated, she adds.
Savvy senior Evelyne Lois Such offers this advice for others who get a suspicious call: "Don't answer too quickly. Think about the answer you give them and what they're asking." And never give up and personal or financial information over the phone.
Better yet? Just hang up.

VIDEO: The Knicks have won a season-high six straight games
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The New York Knicks' optimists would tell you that the mere prospect of Phil Jackson joining their beloved team as the president of basketball operations has inspired a season-high six-game win streak.
Who knows? There might be something to that … the power of Zen is strong in Jackson.
In reality, the Knicks are just riding the ebb and flow of completely predictable season of unpredictability. When we assume these Knicks are ready for a dirt bath, they rise up and surprise us. And just when we're ready to assume that they're poised to give serious chase for that eighth and final spot (currently occupied by the Atlanta Hawks and their 3.5 game lead over the Knicks) in the Eastern Conference playoff chase, they'll crash and burn in the coming days.
That's why the focus in New York has to be on Phil and his first move(s) as boss of the Knicks. I know Mike Woodson has his heart and mind set on grinding to the finish and stealing that playoff spot from the Hawks. But it's of little consequence to just about everyone else involved.
Jackson, of course, has more important matters to consider. He has Carmelo Anthony's future with the franchise to consider. He has Woodson's future to consider as well. My suggestion, cut bait with one and build with the other. And I think it's safe to assume that it's easier to build around Anthony, something that wasn't done strategically with this current Knicks team, than it is to mold and shape the philosophy of a proud coach like Woodson, who is a branch of the Larry Brown coaching tree.
Gauging the general mood of the Knicks, there seems to be genuine excitement about Jackson taking over. Melo called it a "power move" and lauded the Knicks for going after and landing the greatest winner the game has seen, coach or player, since Bill Russell.
"I'm a chess player. That was a power move right there. You know what I mean?" a smiling Anthony told reporters after a win over the Milwaukee Bucks. "So, now we're going to see what's the next move, but that was a great power move."
Getting a buy-in from Anthony is the first order of business for Jackson. And he shouldn't have a hard time convincing Anthony to get on board with the plan (provided there is one already mapped out), what with the $30-$34 million more the Knicks can pay him than he could stand to make in free agency.
As for future plans, this will be the most challenging endeavor in Jackson's career. He had Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen as foundation pieces in Chicago, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles. Finding a competent and quality supporting cast for future Hall of Famers isn't necessarily easy to do, but it is decidedly different challenge compared to crafting a championship roster around Anthony.
Is Anthony's Horace Grant or Brian Shaw or Rick Fox or Ron Harper already on the roster? It's hard to tell. I could see Tyson Chandler being a player Jackson would like to keep around, but Amar'e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and some of the other current high-dollar Knicks don't seem to be good fits. We know that second superstar is not on the Knicks' roster right now, so that's already a huge void that must be filled by Jackson.
Jackson's presence, in theory, has already led to that mini-surge mentioned earlier. Anthony swears by it, as Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com pointed out:
"Phil knows what to do, how to build teams, and how to win," Anthony said. "That's the most important thing. When you know how to win — whether you're a coach, whether you're in the front office — that stands out."
Anthony said all of the speculation surrounding Jackson helped the Knicks focus in recent days. New York has won a season-high six in a row, including a 115-94 rout of the Bucks earlier Saturday.
"It's not a distraction at all," he said. "If anything, it made us come together more as a team, as a unit, to really kind of keep that on the outside. We're excited and happy that it got done, instead of all the speculation that's been going on. So finally, it's signed, sealed and delivered."
Jackson, one of the most brilliant basketball minds of all-time, has every reason to be cautious in his approach to reshaping the Knicls. But I would suggest that he be as aggressive as possible in taking this current roster apart. This group clearly does not operate with the same chemistry and synergy that it did a year ago, albeit with seven new faces added to the mix this time around.
Woodson didn't suddenly become a bad coach during training camp this season. And Anthony, who was lauded for his relentless work a season ago, didn't wake up this season with selective amnesia about his role.
That said, there is a chance Jackson will want to go in a different direction in both instances. He might want one of his own in that crucial position he knows so well. Woodson, of course, is saying all the right things …
"Anytime you can get a great basketball mind that comes into your organization, I mean, it can't do nothing but help," Woodson said. "I mean, Phil's been through the ringer. He's won titles. He's dealt with players individually. He's dealt with players as a team. I mean, there's probably not a lot he hasn't seen from a basketball standpoint, so I think it's got to be a plus."
Woodson's words of praise might not matter. He's under contract next season, but there was rampant speculation before Jackson came on board that his job security was dwindling and that he might be replaced at season's end.
Anthony is the sort of high-scoring anchor Jackson-coached teams have been built around in the past. But no one will confuse Anthony for MJ or Kobe. He's a great scorer and an extremely hard worker but not the sort of dynamic alpha dog that Shaq or those other guys were and, in Kobe's case, still are.
It requires an exquisitely manicured plan, but letting Anthony test the free agent waters might be just the sort of escape hatch Jackson needs to restart the Knicks in a different image.
No one knows for sure what his plans are. But it's safe to say Phil Jackson's first move or series of moves with the Knicks will be telling. We'll know much more about Front Office Phil after he starts chipping away than we do now.

A former "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" star was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving Saturday.
Talan Torriero, 25, known for his role on the reality show from 2004-05, was arrested at 12:30 a.m. near the intersection of Brooks Street and South Coast Highway, Sgt. Louise Callus said in an email.
Torriero reportedly made a left turn in the 200 block of Brooks Street in violation of posted signs that prohibit left turns and U-turns at that intersection, she said.
The vehicle was stopped by police and after speaking with the driver, the officer noticed signs that Torriero could be intoxicated, Callus said. He was given field sobriety tests and arrested on suspicion of DUI.
He was later released by police, Callus said.
According to the IMDB, Torriero tried his hand at acting with appearances in several films following the cancellation of the hit MTV show.
He was also once romantically linked to Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and was engaged to Kimberly Stewart — rocker Rod Stewart's daughter — for a week, according to People Magazine.

Pine County renews contract with Arrowhead Transit
At its February 19 meeting at the Pine County Courthouse in Pine City, the Pine County Board of Commissioners voted to renew its contract with Arrowhead Transit.
The regular board meeting was barely able to make a quorum, as two commissioners were out with excused absences. However, the board didn't take up anything particularly controversial, and the meeting proceeded without any problems.
Jack Larson, Transit Director for Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency (AEOA), requested $50,000 from the county to continue transportation services in Pine County. The board was informed that total operating expenses for 2012 were $438,455, and capital costs were $84,813. The board was reminded that the county had agreed to pay 15 percent of the operating expenses and 20 percent of the capital costs not to exceed $58,000.
Because ridership of Arrowhead Transit is up in Pine County, revenue has been slightly higher than projected, and AEOA requested less than anticipated. This amount was approved by the board.
It was also noted that PHASE in Pine County has been using Arrowhead Transit since January of 2011 and has been very satisfied with the transportation services offered.
Tax reform seminar
The board saw a slide presentation by Paul Johnson, Deputy Auditor, who attended Governor Dayton's Tax Reform Seminar in Isanti. A chart of average taxes paid by all the states showed that Minnesota's taxes have gone down since 2002 and Minnesota is now below average in the amount of taxes paid by its citizens.
The slides also showed that the top 10 percent of Americans receive 50 percent of total income, and that the middle class has been shrinking. The presentation showed that the amount of taxes paid by Minnesotans is unbalanced, with homeowners paying a larger percentage in property taxes than in sales taxes and income taxes.
He added that Minnesota has a higher sales tax than neighboring states, but on fewer goods and services. The Governor's plan calls for a reduction in sales taxes to 5.5 percent, but to cover more goods and services. The Governor feels that at under the present system, more taxes are paid by those least able to afford them.

New York, NY 10028
United States
Temple and Tomb examines the art, architecture and culture of an astonishingly forward-thinking people who lived in Malta, an island group in the Southern Mediterranean, over five thousand years ago. It is the first exhibition ever to display Maltese prehistoric art in the U.S.—many of the objects on display have never before left Malta.
Malta is famous for temples believed to be the oldest freestanding stone buildings in the world—built from stones weighing up to 20 tons each and quarried using only stone and wooden tools. The exhibition examines these extraordinary structures through historic drawings, watercolors and photographs, as well as two video installations. More than 60 archeological finds are on view, including incredibly detailed and varied representations of the human figure, decorative architectural reliefs, refined clay vessels, and imported stone amulets, drawn from the collections of the National Museum of Archaeology and the Gozo Museum of Archaeology. These spectacular objects were found in temple and tomb contexts and tell us about the life and death concerns of these people from the dawn of human history.
Temple and Tomb: Prehistoric Malta 3600–2500 BCE has been organized by the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University (ISAW) in collaboration with Heritage Malta. The exhibition and its accompanying publication were made possible through the support of the Leon Levy Foundation.

Don't read if you're not caught up.
Some four seasons ago, a young(er) James Ford sat on the beach of a shipwrecked island, passing the time by reading an unpublished manuscript he had found among the strewn about luggage.
The manuscript, Bad Twin, was written by fellow Oceanic passenger Gary Troup. You may recognize Troup as the unfortunate soul who was sucked into the turbine in the chaotic few moments of the television series Lost.
Troup, obviously, is no longer with us, but thanks to Bad Twin, his legacy lives on. Sort of.
Bad Twin was a meta, semi-canonical attempt at expanding the 'Lostverse' that was published in the summer of 2006. Was it successful? Not really. Was it good? Kind of.
After hearing that it's association with the show was tenuous at best, I avoided "Bad Twin" for a few years. Not helping was the fact that I associated it with the "Lost Experience" – a convoluted, semi canonical, alternate reality game that I couldn't explain to you if I wanted to. Neither seemed worth my time.
That was before the end was nigh. About a third of the way into this final season run, the reality that our time was almost up started to sink in. I had already seen all the seasons, and the creators officially stated there would be no spin offs after the series was over. I wanted more. And unless I wanted to watch a bunch of boring, low budget viral videos featuring characters I have never heard of before, I had to check out "Bad Twin."
Let me just start off by saying that "Bad Twin" was not written by any 'Lost' staff writers. The book was ghost written by novelist Laurence Shames, who was given notes of elements to include by the shows creative team. According to a quote from 'Variety', however, "the author had his own vision and wound up including only a few of the elements."
It's true. The book contains no island, Hurley, or four-toed statues, but a few things do get a shout out: the Widmore family (although none of their first names are familiar), the Hanso Corporation, Paik Industries, Oceanic Airlines, and Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack. Although the Widmore clan is the centerpiece of the story, most of the other elements are mentioned in passing.
"Bad Twin" is basically a detective story about a private investigator hired by one "good" Widmore twin to find his missing, "bad" twin brother. Cliff Widmore, the "good" twin, is ostensibly a clean, put together businessman who wants to follow in his fathers foot steps and take control of the family dynasty. Xander, the missing "bad" twin, is described as a wayward, prodigal son whose life may be in danger.
Sound kind of familiar? Now, this book came out between the 2nd and 3rd season, so it should be considered solid evidence that the creators had at least a general idea of the island's underlying mythology and were not "making it up as they were going along." The book even contains a reference to Jacob and Essau, a biblical story that really didn't start making serious rounds in Lost discussions until the end of its 5th season.
In fact, the book contains literary reference upon literary reference, covering everything from Gilgamesh to Lord of the Flies. Before I ever got into the series, my initial concern was that I didn't want to waste all this time in this fictional universe. I pegged Lost as a mere genre distraction. As it got going, however, I was impressed with its use of religious, philosophical, historical, and mythological themes. The use of these elements inspired me to do further research of the subject on my own time, making me honestly able to say that 'Lost' has enriched my life more than I ever could have imagined. In this respect, 'Bad Twin' delivers, shining light on a lot of the shows themes, even spelling them out for those who need it sometimes (I do).
The most significant reference to me was regarding the detective novel, Trent's Last Case. The story is a mystery with a solution that appears to have been reached half way through the novel. The solution turns out to be erroneous, and the 2nd half of the novel is spent rearranging the facts and clues until the correction solution is reached. This reference parallels the character arc of Xander Widmore, a not-so-bad twin who just wanted to get away from the hullabaloo of the family fortune and dedicate his life to charity and spirituality. Half of life, the book implies, is spent acquiring material wealth and becoming successful. Many think this is the ultimate end game, like the detective in Trent's Last Case coming to a false conclusion. Once this success is reached, one can start feeling empty, as if he arrived to the wrong solution. The 2nd half of life, then, is spent letting go of all that you've acquired, bringing the circle of life to a close.
This theme is even further mirrored in the Lost castaways story thus far. They come to island like babies out of the womb, scared and confused of their new surroundings. As they proceed, they adopt many philosophies and styles of leadership to get them through, shifting allegiences and world views when need be. All of us do this in our lives, albeit on a much less epic scale. Half way through the series, the castaways finally reach their intended goal by getting off the island. Only, it wasn't what they thought it would be. Like a filthy rich CEO who made his fortune on genocide, it didn't feel right. They had to "go BAAAACK." Now, here we are, back, and ready to put the pieces together in the right order. What is that order and what are the creators trying to say? I don't know yet, but that's why I watch Lost.

I recently sent a former co-worker and current CWO XO who I respect and consider a mentor a message asking him about his XO experience, and realized this forum might benefit from a similar, open discussion. I don't really care if it goes on here or on the hypo blog, but I really want to hear from people in or formerly in these positions. Specifically, I'd love to know things like:
- What was your experience as an XO/OIC (positive, negative, neutral, crazy)?
- Did your experience line up with expectations? What surprised you?
- What was the most challenging aspect of the job?
- How did you prepare?
- Knowing what you know now, would you prepare differently? Is there anything else you'd do differently?
Thanks ahead of time to those who respond. I'd love if this became an interactive discussion/conversation. We have a plethora of great contributors at all career levels, and I think we can all benefit from openly sharing our experiences. *** Edit *** I considered starting this discussion on the CWO milbook page. I'd like to hear people's opinion on hosting this kind of discussion there, and if the relative lack of anonymity would preclude frank participation.

it bothered a suggestions moderator, blakebowling. so he forced this bullshit on everyone else.
In all fairness, I see this as being more good than bad. The fact that these games disappear when you have a long list of invites to send will save a lot of scrolling, which will be a big time saver. I also really like the fact that the cursor now starts inside the invite window, instead of having to click in it. Between the not-scrolling and the starting-in-window, it's actually now possible to send invites from start to finish using only your keyboard, and not having to waste time moving over to the mouse at all. That is a big, big, plus. Overall, I think there's a lot more plus than minus in this update.
The one huge problem is that there's no way to go back and check your work, and as HA said in the other thread, it's simply a matter of adding another checkbox for "Invited" in the Game Status "Waiting for Players" "Active" "Finished " row.
we already have a checkbox - it is called Waiting For Players. now it only shows full games if they are team games.

The program, which begins in June, is open to college graduates with a bachelor's degree in Earth science or a related discipline or any bachelor's degree with a minimum of 24 credits in Earth science plus 6 additional credits in physics, chemistry, environmental science, or biology. Degree candidates will receive a full fellowship, a $30,000 stipend and health benefits, and two years of continued support after graduation, including professional development and access to Museum programs and resources.
Register for the Open House today by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The Museum will host one more Open House on Saturday, January 7, from noon to 4 pm. Join the MAT mailing list to receive updates.
Applications for the program are now available online. Final applications are due on January 31.
