Lost for Life
2014 | 75mins
In the United States, more than 2500 individuals are serving life-without-parole sentences for crimes they committed when they were seventeen years old or younger. Children as young as thirteen are among the thousands serving these sentences. Directed by Joshua Rofé (who spent four intensive years on the project), LOST FOR LIFE tells the stories of these individuals, their families and the families of juvenile murder victims. This searingly powerful documentary tackles this contentious issue from multiple perspectives and explores the complexity of the lives of those affected. What is justice when a kid kills? Can a horrific act place a life beyond redemption? Could you forgive?

Lost for Life
2011 | 101mins
Award Winning
At the time of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the Mufti of Rwanda, the most respected Muslim leader in the country, issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from participating in the killing of the Tutsi. As the country became a slaughterhouse, mosques became places of refuge where Muslims and Christians, Hutus and Tutsis came together to protect each other. KINYARWANDA is based on true accounts from survivors who took refuge at the Grand Mosque of Kigali and the madrassa of Nyanza. It recounts how the Imams opened the doors of the mosques to give refuge to the Tutsi and those Hutu who refused to participate in the killing. The film interweaves six different tales that together form one grand narrative that provides the most complex and real depiction yet presented of human resilience and life during the genocide. With an amalgamation of characters, we pay homage to many, using the voices of a few. Winner of the World Cinema Audience Award (dramatic category) at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and the World Cinema Audience Award at AFI Fest.

Nanking - Narrated
2007 | 90mins
A powerful, emotional and relevant reminder of the heartbreaking toll war takes on the innocent, this award-winning documentary tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, in the early days of World War II. As part of a campaign to conquer all of China, the Japanese subjected Nanking?which was then China's capital?to months of aerial bombardment, and when the city fell, the Japanese army unleashed murder and rape on a horrifying scale. In the midst of the rampage, a small group of Westerners banded together to establish a Safety Zone where over 200,000 Chinese found refuge. Unarmed, these missionaries, university professors, doctors and businessmen?including a Nazi named John Rabe?bore witness to the events, while risking their own lives to protect civilians from slaughter. The story is told through deeply moving interviews with Chinese survivors, chilling archival footage and photos, testimonies of former Japanese soldiers?and a staged reading of the Westerners' letters and diaries by Woody Harrelson, Mariel Hemingway, Jurgen Prochnow and others. NANKING is a testament to the courage and conviction of individuals who were determined to act in the face of evil and a powerful tribute to the resilience of the Chinese people?a gripping account of light in the darkest of times. This version of the film features descriptive narration for the blind and visually impaired, created by the Narrative Television Network.

Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine you have little or no recourse to protect your home or land from such development. Narrated by actress Ali McGraw (Love Story, The Getaway), SPLIT ESTATE is the Emmy-winning film that explores the shocking effects of oil and natural gas drilling on the environment and families in the Western United States. Outlining the dirty side of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas (an energy source the industry touts as a clean alternative to fossil fuels), this compelling documentary maps a tragedy in the making?as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.

A refreshingly original fairytale, Randa Chahal Sabbag's THE KITE follows sixteen-year-old Lamia - who must cross a border checkpoint between Lebanon and Israel to marry a cousin she has never met. Neither she, nor her betrothed, are eager to consummate a marriage to a virtual stranger. The situation is further complicated by Lamia's surprising admission that she is also in love with the Israeli soldier guarding the border. Sabbag's enchanting drama about marriage and tradition is underscored by delicate symbolism and artful references to politics of Lebanon's annexed territories.

Ted Cruz speech fuels '16 speculation
Texas Sen.-elect Ted Cruz advised the Republican Party to rebrand itself under a banner of "Opportunity Conservatism" during a sweeping speech Thursday night that will only stoke speculation about a 2016 presidential run.
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
Story Continued Below
Speaking before the conservative American Principles Project dinner at a downtown Washington hotel, Cruz said the GOP's thumping in the 2012 elections was more the result of poor messaging and communication than the wrong ideology.
"Why did we lose? It wasn't as the media would tell you: because the American people embraced big government, Barack Obama's spending and debt and taxes. … That wasn't what happened. I'm going to suggest to you a very simple reason why we lost the election: We didn't win the argument," Cruz said before pointedly lowering his voice. "We didn't even make the argument."
( Also on POLITICO: Republicans at a crossroads)
While the 41-year-old Cuban-American warned that Republicans need not abandon their principles in order to rebound electorally, he did suggest the party should retool its rhetoric on economic and cultural issues.
"We need to embrace what I call 'Opportunity Conservatism.' We need to conceptualize, we need to articulate conservative domestic policy with a laser focus on opportunity, on easing the means of ascent up the economic ladder," he said.
While he conceded the party's harsh tone on immigration was undoubtedly a factor, Cruz cited Mitt Romney's infamous "47 percent" comment as the main reason the president performed so well with Hispanics.
"I think far more important was 47 percent. … Republicans nationally, the story we conveyed was that 47 percent are stuck in a static world. We don't have to worry about you, what that clip famously said. I cannot think of an idea more antithetic to the American principle," Cruz said. "We embraced in that comment, and in the narrative we made to this country, the Democrat notion that there is a fixed and static pie. … The rich are the rich, the poor are the poor, and all that matters is redistributing from one to the other. The essence of the conservative message should be we want a dynamic nation where anybody with nothing can achieve anything," he added to cheers from the audience. "We did an incredibly poor job at articulating the message of opportunity."

The Crisis in Pollution WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR CLEANER WATER? By A. KENNETH BUNGER/Partner, Louisville Water quality is a matter of public concern. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us that one-third of our stream miles are in violation of acceptable water quality standards—that all 79 cities included in a recent survey, for example, showed traces of volatile organic chemicals in their drinking water. Despite the fact that government and industry have already spent billions on pollution control, we are also told that the improvements in waste treatment have been negated by the increasing volume of discharges, and that the waste treatment process itself accounts for at least some of the contamination in our drinking water. Tough problems call for tough solutions. A new federal law on water pollution went into effect in 1972, billed as the most stringent and far-reaching measure ever. Since then, municipal officials and private industry have devoted time, money, and effort trying to hammer out feasible methods for complying with its terms. If they do not adopt sophisticated treatment methods, the EPA says, they risk fines and even jail terms. Hard put to bear the expense amidst an era of economic uncertainty, their dilemma intensifies as the deadlines built into the law draw nearer. Meanwhile a quasi-legislative body in Washington known as the National Commission on Water Quality is struggling to complete its appointed task of determining—before any conclusive results from the past three years' efforts are available—whether the provisions of the federal law should be modified, refined, or abandoned altogether. Focus on Effluents The source of this current activity and controversy is Public Law 92-500: the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. Enacted over a Presidential veto, P.L. 92-500 was the result of a protracted debate on the importance of clean water and the lengths to which the nation should go to reclaim and protect this natural resource. A month-long conference between the Senate and House was required to reconcile their differing approaches, and when the dust settled, the nation found itself committed to two national goals: • Zero discharge of pollutants by 1985. • Water clean enough to allow swimming and fish propagation by July 1983, wherever possible. Some have dubbed these aims the "1491 standard," since they seem to require the quality of water that prevailed before Columbus discovered America. Beyond these lofty but non-mandatory goals are a whole series of much more specific controls that municipalities and industries will be required to meet in the future: —The discharge of pollutants into navigable waters is unlawful except under prescribed circumstances and conditions. —Any discharges to be allowed are determined by EPA-defined effluent limitations. —In general, the effluent standards for industry require the application of "best practicable" waste treatment technology by July 1977, and the "best available" technology by July 1983. —For municipal sewage treatment plants, the comparable requirements are for "secondary treatment" by July 1977, and "best practicable" technology by July 1983. —Whenever the technology-based effluent limits are inadequate to meet water quality standards set by EPA or a state, even more restrictive controls are applied. An innovative feature of the pollution control program prescribed by P.L. 92-500 is its focus on effluent: the output from each sewer, pipe, ditch, channel, or other conduit that opens onto navigable water. Formerly the emphasis was on water quality. To impose restrictions or penalties, an environmental agency had to prove there was a link between a polluter's discharges and a deterioration in the quality of the receiving body of water. Establishing this connection was difficult technically, especially if adjacent manufacturers (or cities) dumped their wastes into the same stretch of river. The primary concern is what comes out of the pipe or other point of discharge. If the effluent doesn't meet required standards of purity, action can be taken against the polluter without reference to the effect on water conditions. Now that P.L. 92-500 is being implemented, the primary concern is what comes out of the pipe or other point of discharge. If the effluent doesn't meet required standards of purity, action can be taken against the polluter without reference to the effect on water conditions. Further simplifying the enforcement process are the effluent limitations specified by EPA for municipal treatment works and each of 45 industries. These precise, quantitative limitations serve as the minimum discharge standards nationwide. Their proponents point with approval to the relative ease with which the standards can be applied and the equity that comes with holding all plants in the same industry to the same basic level of performance. But others question the logic of requiring, 42

Mike + Ruthy rock out on blues songs such as "Be the Boss" and folk-rock "Rise," about fighting hate, and turn inward for the contemplative "End of Time," about love and the passage of time.
You Are Not Alone
71-year-old soul singer Mavis Staples teamed with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy to produce her followup to the civil rights remembrance We'll Never Turn Back. Many of these songs are about poverty and hard times, but faithful to her gospel roots, they are laced with strength and encouragement.

I have a few questions about some possible errata (for Ultimate Power) that is listed in the errata thread (in some cases) or elsewhere but didn't make it as official errata. Since these issues were mentioned before the Official Errata, I assume they are not errata but I don't understand the mechanics in question so I am hoping you can clarify.
1. Under Paralyze (pg. 70), according to the errata for the Core Rulebook, a paralyzed target can take mental actions but not physical ones. According to Ultimate Power, the paralyzed subject is helpless (no actions period). The errata for Ultimate Power doesn't mention this at all. Which is correct?
2. Under Feedback (pg. 104), doesn't this flaw need to be changed in the same manner that the flaw, with the same name, is changed under the power Telekinesis (pg. 195) according the the Ultimate Power errata.
3. Under Variable (pg. 113), it states that "No trait can have a rank or bonus greater than your Variable structure rank." This was listed as incorrect in the errata when applied to the Shapeshift. Since it was not listed in the errata for Variable, what accounts for the difference?
4. Under Mutation (pg. 175), it states that the user must use extra effort to attempt the power on a subject a second time if a previous attempt failed. This isn't consistent with other Transform effects. Is Mutation as special case?
5. Under Plasma Control (pg. 180), is the alternate power, Melt, supposed to be different from Drain effects? Shouldn't objects be reduced to -10 Toughness before they "are melted into puddles of slag?"
6. Under Shape Matter (pg. 188), since Transmutation, according to the errata, has a Sustained duration instead of Sustained Lasting, shouldn't Shape Matter also have a Sustained duration.
7. Under Silence (pg. 190), shouldn't the power cost 2 or 4 points (instead of 1 or 2) since the Concealment effect cost 2 points per rank. If I am wrong, what is the flaw that reduces the cost. Also, how is a "silent" person heard at all. I understand Concealment allows detection by another acute sense within three range increments but shouldn't a Silent person be completely silent (like an invisible person is completely invisible) and have to be detected by another acute sense besides hearing (unless that is the limitation). Also, the power says the subject can be heard within 30 feet. Shouldn't that be within 3 range increments instead of 30 feet since persons with enhanced hearing (via Super Senses) can hear at much greater distances.
8. Under Superspeed (pg. 193), shouldn't the alternate powers, Takeaway and Whirlwind Attack, have a radius of (rank times 5 feet) instead of (Superspeed times 5 feet), especially since both alternate powers have a lower rank that is only two-thirds of Superspeed.
9. Under Timestop (pg. 197), is the extra No Saving Throw supposed to be +1 or is it supposed to be +2 (as per the description of the extra). If it is +1, what is the flaw that reduces the value of the extra.
I'm not necessarily saying that any of these are errata, they might not be. However, since they weren't listed with the errata for Ultimate Power, I was hoping you could clarify the mechanics so I could understand better. Thank you.
Some questions about Ultimate Power errata.

Legendary producer Gale Anne Hurd (AMC's THE WALKING DEAD, TERMINATOR, ALIENS) teams with 12-Gauge Comics to present the tale of Zachary, a faithless man forced to confront the reality that he's the savior of the world. Chased by demons that have infiltrated earth disguised as humans, while grudgingly protected by demon-hunter Jordan, the journey for knowledge, survival and more begins here! Written by Peter Calloway (GOTHAM CITY SIRENS, BATMAN: JOKER'S ASYLUM) with a cover by industry legend Brian Stelfreeze (BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT), this special intro to ANTI #1 will not disappoint!
As an added bonus, the time is now for the highly anticipated return of THE RIDE in this special co-feature story! Writer Nathan Edmondson (GRIFTER, WHO IS JAKE ELLIS?) and artist Paul Azaceta (THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN, DAREDEVIL) put the pedal to the metal when the acclaimed crime-anthology roars back into comic stores-- leading directly into an all-new THE RIDE series!

Good Morning my loves! I was def. a girl on the go yesterday and I could not be happier about that. Don't you just love it when you get those things that you have been putting off FOREVER done?! I know I do.
So my day started off with some breakfast and the writing/research for my last post.
Cherry Yogurt with Sliced Banana
Whole Wheat Toast with Apricot Preserves...notice the outline for my post in the background...yes I make outlines, yes I am a teacher!
After breakfast I did some MAJOR remodeling in my house. My roommate and I are turning one of the rooms downstairs into an office for me. Because currently my laptop-ing is done on the dining room table. I wish I had a before picture of this room because it was HELL! But after literally HOURS of work, look at it now:
Here are some key points to notice about this room:
- I displayed my first book that I recieved from student teaching for my classroom library on the shelves. It is Curious George and the Fire Truck, because I did a unit on fire trucks for the whole six weeks of student teaching!
- The drawers on the shelve are animal print...so is just about anything else in our house.
- My diploma is meticulously placed on the the table. I need to frame it.
- For now I am doin it Japanese style and sitting on the floor at the table, but today my mom is supposed to be bringing me a desk.
So there you have it. The fruits of my labor!
After I finished that up it was time for some FOOD!
Turkey Wrap on Italian Herb Flat-Out
After lunch I got ready and went to work to check out a new shipment of dresses that we got in!
Which reminds me...a lot of you asked about my shirt from a few posts ago (the one with the back cut-out) and I got it from the clothing store that I work at...MAXRAVE. Currently I don't think that you can order online, but you can go to maxravestores.com and find out where the closest store to you is.
When I got done with lunch I sat down to download some new music for my runs. I had been listening to the same songs over and over for way to long. I don't know about you, but music is everything when it comes to my workouts. If I am bored with the music, I usually get bored with the workout and quit sooner. If I have something fun and upbeat to listen to and hold my attention, I can go WAY harder and longer. (thats what she said!...right Brooke?).
So here are some of the new songs that I downloaded.
- Madcon - Beggin'
- The Dream - Walkin' on the Moon
- Mario - All the Above
- Keri Hilson - Knock You Down
- Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight (Remix)
- Ciara - Never Ever
- Metric - Gold Guns
- Lil Wayne - At War
- Lupe Fiasco - Real
- The Decemberists - Oh Valencia
There are lots more, but that is what I have currently been playing. Quite the mix. I never just listen to one genre of music. There is so much good music out there...why limit yourself?!
Last nights dinner was spaghetti at the parents house. My mom makes the BEST spaghetti, but like they say on Sesame Street "Its a SOMETIMES food". But I think that may be just about every meal eaten at the parents. haha.
This morning I am enjoying a bowl of "Banana Pancake Oats" and a laptop full of blogs.
For those of you who were wondering "Banana Pancake Oats" is just a simple recipe, but it reminds me of banana pancakes.
- 1/2 cup Oats
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Soy Milk
- 1/2 Banana
- 1 tbsp. Maple Syrup
- LOADS of Cinnamon
I plan on a run later...gotta rock the new jams! My 5k is coming up and I really wanna run it in less than 28 min. My friend Ben has challenged me, but he claims he can run it in 22 minutes. I can't hang with that...but I think he may be lying ;)
Hope everyone is having a MARVELOUS day!
Lots of Love, <3 Ems.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Facebook Inc. was in the tech sector spotlight Thursday in the wake of the social-networking leader's upbeat second quarter earnings. Amazon.com Inc. and Pandora Media Inc. also garnered attention ahead of their earnings reports.
Facebook FB, -1.72% shares rose almost 6% to $75.32, after touching a record $76.74, after the company reported a fiscal second-quarter profit of $791 million, or 30 cents a share, on revenue of $2.91 billion Wednesday. During the year-ago period, Facebook earned $333 million, or 13 cents a share, on $1.81 billion in sales.
Facebook said that its capital spending rose 40% from a year ago as 62% of its revenue in the quarter came from mobile ads.
Aaron Kessler, of Raymond James, reiterated his outperform rating on Facebook's stock and raised his price target on the shares to $80, saying "our expectation for continued strong advertiser demand, especially for mobile, [and] we expect solid engagement trends to continue."
Amazon AMZN, -0.36% shares rose by $2.63 to $360.80 ahead of the e-commerce company's quarterly results due after the close of trading. Pandora US:P, which is also on tap to give its second-quarter report after the market closes, was up by almost 1% at $27.80.
Gains also came from Yahoo Inc. US:YHOO, IBM Corp. IBM, -0.04%, Micron Technology Inc. MU, +1.76% and eBay Inc. EBAY, +0.19%.
Angie's List Inc. ANGI, +1.49%, was nowhere near advancing, as its shares plunged almost 23% to $7.87.
On Wednesday, Angie's List reported weaker-than-expected second-quarter results, as the online professional services recommendation company said it lost $18.4 million, or 31 cents a share, compared with a loss of $14.3 million, or 25 cents a share, a year ago. Wall Street analysts had expected the company to lose 24 cents a share. At least five Wall Street analysts cut their ratings on Angie's List following its report.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.07% fell 3 points to 4,470.

Recently moved to Culver City from London and I'm looking for a hitting partner. I've only played at the Mar Vista courts so far but I'm happy to travel to others. I used to play regularly but it's been over 15 years so I'm slowly getting back into it. I'm free most weekdays.

I'd be happy to hit with you some days if you're amicable to meeting in encino / sherman oaks area (I'm in santa clarita).

I can play weekday evenings. Does that work for you? I'm a solid 4.0, but with enough quality play time I can achieve 4.5 as I used to play 6 days a week from 1994-2004.
Mobile is the best way to reach me. Text or call! 619-518-5454.
Talk soon,
Hi Rhonda
Thanks for contacting me, it's really during the daytime that I'm looking to play, evenings are not so great for me at present. I will however contact you if that changes.

Evan Williams Single Barrel, Vintage 2000, 43.3% (Abv)/86.6 Proof, $25-$30
Bottle #367
The nose opens up with Honey, Vanilla, some sweet spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) with some toasted oak and light barrel. First sip reinforces those flavors with ample measure. Honey immediately on the front of the tongue, prickly spice (mint/cinnamon), some citrusy/acidic notes, then toasted oak and vanilla on the back of the palette. This bourbon is medium bodied in the mouth with a spicy, minty finish that lingers moderately with some leftover sweetness and oak. A fantastic bourbon with layers of flavor. Extremely lively, balanced, and well crafted.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.3 (Superb/Outstanding)

The Boston Globe: Chris Huxley adds firepower to Crimson hockey defense
New England Hockey Journal: First Payoffs Coming for Alex Biega '10
Behind the Bench
Former Crimson captain, NCAA Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player and 13-year National Hockey League veteran Ted Donato '91 is in his seventh season as The Robert D. Ziff '88 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Ice Hockey. He owns an 93-93-20 record, three ECAC title-game appearances and two NCAA tournament bids.
Last Weekend
Harvard suffered one-goal losses at Princeton and Quinnipiac. The Tigers' Mike Condon made 36 saves to hand the Crimson a 1-0 loss in its Ivy League opener Friday. Kyle Richter (Calgary, Alta.) made 34 saves for Harvard.
The Crimson came back from a 4-1 second-period deficit Saturday, only to see the Bobcats score early in the third period and withstand a late Harvard push for a 5-4 win. Conor Morrison (London, Ont.), Colin Moore (Medfield, Mass.), Rence Coassin (Hamden, Conn.) and Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) scored for Harvard. Coassin, who was playing in his hometown, and Moore added assists.
Getting Defensive
Harvard ranks eighth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 2.17 goals per game, and has held four of six opponents to two goals or fewer.
Outside the Box
The Crimson is the nation's least-penalized team, averaging only 6.7 penalty minutes per game. Harvard has been whistled for five total penalties over the last three games.
The Killers
The Crimson entered Saturday's game at Quinnipiac with the nation's top penalty-kill percentage. Harvard surrendered one power-play goal in that contest but still ranks 12th in penalty killing at 88.2 percent (15 for 17). With one shorthanded goal, courtesy of Rence Coasssin against the Bobcats, Crimson penalty killers have allowed just one more goal than they have scored.
First Blood
Harvard has scored first in both of its wins, and its opponents have scored first in all four Crimson losses. The Crimson is 2-0-0 when leading at any point in a game and 0-4-0 when trailing.
Close Calls
Three of Harvard's four losses and four of the Crimson's six games overall have been decided by a single goal. The other two games were two-goal decisions.
Leading the Way
Alex Killorn (3-1-4) leads Harvard in goals and shares the team scoring lead with assists leaders Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) (1-3-4) and Michael Biega (Montreal, Que.) (1-3-4).
Hard to Beat
Kyle Richter ranks sixth nationally with a .939 save percentage and 14th with a 2.06 goals-against average. He has held the opponent scoreless in nine of the 17 periods he has played and has allowed just one goal in five other periods.
Clutch Performer
Alex Killorn scored the game's lone goal with 8.2 seconds left on the clock to lift Harvard to a 1-0 win against Rensselaer Nov. 6. He netted another game-winning goal Nov. 12 at St. Lawrence and is one of only two ECAC players with two game-winners in league action. He is tied for sixth nationally in game-winning tallies.
Ivy Implications
These are the second and third Ivy League games for both Harvard and Dartmouth. The Big Green opened Ivy play with a win Saturday at Princeton, a night after the Tigers spoiled Harvard's Ivy opener. Princeton leads the Ancient Eight with six points but has already played half of its 10 Ivy games.
Scouting the Big Green
Dartmouth is coming off a 3-2 win Saturday at Princeton and has lost just once, 2-0 at Quinnipiac, in its last five games. Rookie Matt Lindblad leads the Big Green with eight points and five assists. He shares the team goals lead at three with Dustin Walsh. James Mello has taken over as starting goaltender over in recent weeks and is 3-1-1 while leading Division I with a .968 save percentage and 0.99 goals-against average.
Series History
Harvard owns a 6-1-1 record in its last eight meetings with Dartmouth. The Crimson previously lost just once (7-0 in 2000-01) to the Big Green in a 20-game span from 1996 to 2004 and owns a 125-56-9 all-time series edge. The teams first met Feb. 7, 1907, a 12-3 Crimson win at Harvard Stadium.
Harvard vs. Dartmouth in 2009-10
The teams met three times last season. Alex Killorn scored two goals and assisted on another to lead Harvard to a 5-3 road win in both squads' season opener Oct. 30, 2009. Kyle Richter made 41 saves, while Marshall Everson (Edina, Minn.) and Daniel Moriarty (Bienfait, Sask.) each registered a goal and an assist.
Dartmouth got two goals and an assist from Scott Fleming, four points from Adam Estoclet and 27 saves from Jody O'Neill in a 6-2 non‑league win at Bright Hockey Center Nov. 29. Moriarty scored both Harvard goals, and Alex Fallstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) assisted on both. Ryan Carroll (Hackensack, N.J.) made 34 saves.
Carroll made 37 saves as Harvard won the deciding game of the season series, 4-1, Jan. 18 at Bright. Matt McCollem (Westford, Mass.) and Michael Biega were among Harvard's goal-scorers. Biega also notched an assist, while Killorn logged two helpers.
Happy 50th
The Crimson, like its fellow league members, is wearing a patch on its jerseys this season commemorating the 50th season of ECAC play. ECAC Hockey has been home to seven NCAA champions, witnessed over 15,000 games and produced more than 500 NHL players and nearly 300 All-Americans. The league will honor its rich history with initiatives throughout the season.
A Balanced Attack
Six different players have scored Harvard's last six goals: Eric Kroshus (Calgary, Alta.), Michael Biega, Conor Morrison, Colin Moore, Rence Coassin and Alex Killorn.
Staying Positive
Danny Biega leads Harvard with a +4 rating, tying him for fifth among all ECAC Hockey players and second among defensemen in league play. Michael Biega and Alex Killorn own +3 ratings.

Apple has just published a new YouTube video that goes behind-the-scenes of the ad released earlier today. Video teams in 10 countries across the world were given an iPhone 5s (or several) and lead by the U.S.-based director Jake Scott via FaceTime to film the entire globe-spanning video in just one day.
The video was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Mac, though it does have some focus on iOS devices. Over 70 hours of footage were recorded and then distilled down to a minute-and-a-half video using a Mac. A web page published along with the video features an even more in-depth look at the process.

Applying Problem Solving
|Introduction | Problem Reflection | Classroom Practice | Problem Solving in Action | Classroom Checklist | Your Journal
In the previous sections, you considered several different aspects of problem solving, reflected on how you problem solve, and developed working definitions of some aspects of the concept.
Now that you are familiar with the Standard, we'd like you to apply it to a mathematics problem involving linear programming. Carol Cho is a high school teacher teaching a college preparatory course for mixed 10th-, 11th-, and 12th-grade students. Topics in the course include ratio, proportion, linear regression, functions, logarithms, probability, and statistics.
Today's lesson comes near the end of a unit on linear programming, optimizing linear functions by graphing them and inspecting related polygons. Previously, students created estimates of the numbers of bass and carp in a fictional pond that is overrun with carp. For this activity, which they will work on in groups, they use data they gathered and information on breeding and feeding habits of both species to determine optimal fish populations. After they complete the problem, they will write a letter to a fictional board of supervisors with recommendations based on their results. The supervisors want to optimize the conditions of the pond for bass and will set limits on an upcoming fishing derby to do so. However, the supervisors have made it clear that neither species should be completely fished out of the pond. Mathematically valid scenarios that have either carp = 0 or bass = 0, will not be acceptable to the supervisors.

Miami Hurricanes pay tribute to JoJo Nicolas
Former Hurricane football player JoJo Nicolas was remembered Saturday as "the quiet storm" at the University of Miami.
He was remembered as a little brother who taught his three older brothers not to fight.
He was remembered as responsible and studious and devoted to an infant son, born prematurely, who preceded him in death.
And he was remembered as a father and son who died too young but left a thriving 5-month-old child and nearly 25 years of memories to keep his spirit alive.
"Daddy, you lost your only son, but now you have JoJo's son," Nicolas' uncle —pastor Walter Horn — told Josselet Nicolas during a moving, rhythmic eulogy accompanied by a four-piece ensemble at Glendale Missionary Baptist Church in Miami. "Can I tell you something? JoJo just made MVP."
Nicolas, who grew up in Florida City and graduated from Homestead High in 2007, died a week ago Wednesday, five days shy of his 25th birthday. He crashed his Lexus sedan into a tractor-trailer while heading west on the MacArthur Causeway following an early birthday celebration on Miami Beach.
His brother Elliot Davis said the family is still awaiting results of an autopsy and toxicology reports, but that Nicolas was on the phone with his girlfriend and received a text from former UM teammate Graig Cooper moments before the crash.
Nicolas told his girlfriend to "hold on, it's Cooper texting him," Davis said. "Then she heard the crash. The second he took his eyes off the road the crash happened."
"This is definitely a hard moment," said Antrel Rolle, a New York Giants safety who grew up with fellow safety Nicolas and commissioned a painting, on an easel at the funeral, of Nicolas wearing his UM uniform on one side of the canvas and in his former New York Giants uniform on the other. "Very rarely do you find guys with such good character as JoJo Nicolas. He had a certain persona that could brighten anyone's day.
"It's extremely unfortunate … but God makes no mistakes. By this happening I'm more than positive it saved the lives of a thousand others — myself, for example. It's a tragic accident, just a simple text looking down. It just goes as a lesson: Stay off your phone while driving. As we've seen, anything can happen in the blink of an eye."
Rolle was one of several former Hurricanes who attended the funeral, among them Shayon Green, Matt Bosher, Ryan Hill, Sam Shields, Brandon McGee, Javarris James, Ray-Ray Armstrong, Richard Gordon and Bruce Johnson. Nicolas was buried afterward at neighboring Graceland Cemetery in Richmond Heights.
Coach Al Golden sat by himself in the church, with many of his assistants and other staff members nearby. Cooper attended but chose not to comment.
Team chaplains Steve DeBardelaben and Steve Caldwell were among about 300 attendees, with Caldwell delivering a short but eloquent reflection.
Caldwell asked everyone in the "UM family" to stand while he spoke, saying Nicolas, "the quiet storm," was a strong leader and thanking his family "for loaning us a wonderful man."
Nicolas is survived by son Jayden, mother Sharon Grant, father Josselet Nicolas and brothers Elliot Davis, Aaron Davis and Abner Davis. All except for Abner, of Jacksonville, are from the Homestead area.
He also leaves his grandmother Carolyn Davis, several aunts and uncles and dozens of nieces, nephews and cousins.
"Tragically he lost his son, and there was nothing I could say to comfort him," Elliot Davis said during the service, referring to the late baby Joseph, who was born four months premature in 2011 and died Aug. 19, 2011. The baby's photo leaned against Nicolas' left arm in the coffin.
"…God blessed him again with another son," Davis said of Jayden, who was held by Nicolas' mother during the service. "I look in his eyes and I see JoJo looking back at me and it's remarkable. ...We still have him here with Baby Jayden. We still have him here."

When it comes to pool construction, people have questions in the difference between shotcrete swimming pool construction and gunite swimming pool construction. While they are both concrete based applications, the process for each construction style is different.
In shotcrete swimming pool construction, concrete, or in rare instances mortar, is transported through a pressure hose and pneumatically projected onto a surface at a high velocity. Using the shotcrete process, the force at which the concrete is projected from the nozzle means compaction and placement occur at the same time. It can be embedded onto any surface, with overhead and vertical areas included.
Gunite swimming pool construction is a dry mix process, wherein the concrete is in a dry state when it is blown through the hose, then the nozzle injects water onto the concrete directly before the application. Using gunite allows a pool to be designed and shaped into any style that someone prefers.
In shotcrete swimming pool construction, steel is used to reinforce the shape of the pool, helping to hold the shotcrete structure of the pool together. A single piece shotcrete shell is formed for the pool, and the final shape of the pool is trimmed out by the workers. The tile and coping around the pool then has to be installed. The waterproofing surface, which is normally plaster, will then be applied after the surface has been prepared and cleaned. After this is done the final steps of the construction of the pool can be completed, such as installing pumps and filters, electrical work, deck installation, and the starting up of the filtration equipment.
In gunite swimming pool construction, you can have your pool shaped any way you like. Once deciding on a shape, a wooden frame is normally used to outline the shape of the pool. Once the homeowner confirms that the outline is correct for the shape they requested, a steel rebar is used to hold the shape into place. The gunite is then power sprayed into the pool and is what actually makes the pool. Plumbing fittings are then installed, and colorful pebbles, stone, or even mosaic tiles can be added to give the pool the look that is wanted. The pools floor and walls then get installed.
Homeowners who have a specific vision of their pool that requires a special shape are more likely to use gunite swimming pool construction. This process is more conducive to adding things such as designs or colors to a pool. Gunite accommodates itself exceptionally well to free-form pools, steps and decks.
While both shotcrete swimming pool construction and gunite swimming pool construction use concrete to form the pool, it is the way that it is applied that is the difference in their processes. Which process is the best depends on the individual and their plans for the design of the pool.

1.I assume that less of the book will have inside references, so no Claremont academy to refer to a school for the gifted since Claremont was the actual writer of X-men. I assume there was a conscious decisions not to include so much of that.
What then did freelancers work on? Steve wrote a bunch of it, is he a 'freelancer'? Were freelancers given smaller sections to work on?
What was the thing they like the most about their section and I assume it was designed by Steve or Jon and thus what did the freelancer like about what Steve or Jon designed for them to work around, and was there anything they wished Jon or Steve had done differently to make their own job as freelancer easier, or they thought would have been a better idea (the one they wanted to use for a specific element they wanted to introduce into the book)
Were specific elements like AEGIS worked on more? like an example of their agents, their headquarters, etc. How much detail was put into it, or how much is there to help the GM but keep it open for them to add details?
How do the use of the surrounding area of the city and that of freedom city differ. In Freedom City there is a state park nearby. I see various forested areas around Emerald City? In FC, it was left vague, will EC have more structure? I also liked areas in Freedom City like the Mesa and wish places like that had more detail to it. So will 'secret' or special places have more detail in the GM's? book. Can we see stuff like that in future small pdf emerald city based creations.
I enjoyed the pdf products for freedom city like the freedom city only archetypes, the iron age characters, and villains, and for Emerald City (or even the Supernatural book) some type of smaller pdf add on product would be cool. It would even be cool to have a mini-adventure in there.
It's still the Freedomverse, which is inherently an homage setting (for specific and well-supported reasons). There will be the occasional in-joke or in-the-know reference. Not played to death, but there. And anyway, anything that gives Chris the opportunity to name something after bulldogs has to earn a warm place in your heart.
As I recall, Jon sent out an outline pretty much already formed.
Which is cool. Planning Prevents Poor Performance and all that.
Steve, Chris, and Darren did the lion's share of the writing. My contributions were:
Kesskorp and Arwin Kessler— Unsurprising since I'd introduced them in the Cybertribe Threat Report.
The write-up and brief description I did for Max Mars back in ECK#2. I still find it smile-inducing that Jon liked the "Maximilian Mars" name I intended only as a placeholder during the character development on the NPC enough to adopt it for continuing use.
The AEGIS section—Again, not terribly surprising as back when the Threat Reports began and I came up with the agents intended for audience interaction NPCS I just started sending Jon background material rambling around in my head way above and beyond what would ever actually see print. Maps delineating AEGIS regions, org charts for AEGIS national and regional hierarchies, and so on. He finally had to put his foot down and say, "Hey! Enough already with this stuff that ain't ever gonna get published. You're cramping my inbox, dude." Must have left him with the impression I could flesh out the EC office well enough, though. He was also kind enough to forgive me for going significantly over my assigned word count there (a recurring scenario between the two of us for which I frequently apologize). Me and my detail-obsessions. Hope it gives GMs enough to use without weighing them down or cramping possibilities.
The Chessmen — Continuing in the lack of surprising category, as I introduced them in my chapter of Emerald City Knights.
MEDUSA—Back when the Threat Reports scheduling was being discussed, this was one of the groups originally mentioned to me as a possible for me to use, but ultimately failing to make the final cut. The name and the leader's name were handovers but Jon and Steve are beautifully receptive to leaving things open there and asked for suggestions on everything else (a lot like what happened with several of the initial Threat Reports in general). I pointed out the setting still lacked a specific Brotherhood of Evil Mutants analog and we were off.
Ghostworks and Majestic 20 — A couple of suggestions of mine that hit the right tone for Jon and turned into assignments. My original idea for Ghostworks actually hewed much closer to Stephen King's The Shop, but Steve suggested an evil CADMUS analogue instead that I think was a much better idea for carrying the setting's narrative weight. Collaboration is a wonderful thing. M20 is pretty close to what I originally envisioned though, and that's always gratifying.
The AEGIS memo on Doc Shock's victim list got dropped for various reasons, but I look through and see little fingerprints from me here and there over the material and it makes me happy. This was the first full set of setting material I was able to contribute to from the ground floor so I am inordinately fond of using it (and really impressed with the final product). Hope plenty of other GMs and players get the same kick.
Jon kept something like 99% of what I turned in for AEGIS, and I'm a detail freak. There's background and crunch and The Dome (HQ, complete with blueprint style map). My favorite little surprise: how well the new AEGIS banner I asked for in my art order turned out. It's even on a t-shirt. Which I so totally picked up at Gen Con as soon as I saw it, oh yes I did.
Not only is there a large set of surrounding environs, elements like the Deep Six Meta-Max prison and the Cryptid Clans play into using those environs very well.

Are you ready for some tall tales about these tall individuals?
- Giraffes have the same number of bones in the neck as we do – seven. Valves in neck prevent blood rushing to the head when they bend down to drink
- Babies stand at about two metres at birth - their horns lie flat at birth and pop up several days later
- Originally from Africa
- Giraffes eat mainly acacia leaves but also shoots fruits and other vegetation

In case you missed this over in Mortal Muses...
They work like gradients in photoshop, but with somewhat different tools and application. Each time you apply one, you can adjust several qualities within the range of space you've set up for the filter, and it will apply at a graduated intensity from the direction you first 'pulled on' the filter. The qualities you can adjust are: exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity, sharpness, and you can also apply a color. So if you want to bring in some more color in a sky, or take out some perhaps distracting colors in the bottom of your frame, or perhaps you didn't quite get the exposure right but not necessarily for the entire shot. Or maybe you just want to play, be creative, make a filmy light leak effect or some fun color gradients to create some magic...graduated filters are your friend! Here are a few screen shots to give you some idea, but the best way to learn is to play with it yourself, so get to it!
In the two screen shots below, the filter I am working with is indicated by the black dot with the white circle around it and the lines coming out from it. I am applying a creamy yellow graduated filter from the bottom up, at a slight angle. It is also adding more contrast to that area. In the second screen shot you can see the difference as I increase the sharpness to the area. This is my favorite use of filters besides the color, the ability to add a selective and gradual sharpness. There is another way to do this in LR, the adjustment brush is the 5th icon, right next to the graduated filter icon, but I find it more cumbersome and less easy to apply evenly. I'm just not as skilled with that tool, but it is also very useful!
The screen shot below shows how to add a color graduated filter. If you click the little rectangle you can select any color from that palette, at any saturation level in the entire spectrum. As you can see below that, I eventually chose a green to give some more blues and greens from the top down. You can see how simple and intuitive lightroom makes this process. Just try it out with extreme values and you'll catch on quickly to how it works!
In the screen shot below I'm adding a purple graduated filter from the top left, and I've decreased the brightness quite a bit. Those dots are what appears when you click on an area of a photo to start a filter. You can see there are three other filters in this shot.
In the screen shot below, I am adding some warmth, some pinkish color, and increasing exposure from the top down.
In this screen shot below, I'm adding a pink color as well as increasing general saturation in the area on the right, moving left across the photo. Therefore, the saturation of colors in the image is at the highest on the right, and gradually becomes less moving to the left.
In the screen shot below, I'm working with that filter indicated by the dot on the bottom. As you can see, this filter's main purpose is to decrease saturation, coming in from the left. So from the farthest left area has the least saturation, and saturation gradually increases from -45 as you move right across the image. Before I had done that, the yellows on that side overwhelmed the image and distracted from the overall softness of the shot.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to show you a few things. I love teaching others what I know and helping fellow photographers to learn! Let me know if you have questions.

Learn how to contact each ARDA department.
Click here to view ARDA's staff by name.
by Kathryn Mullan
In this month's Developments,
we explore key concepts and new initiatives on the front lines of vacation
ownership: sales and marketing. We know that understanding your target audience
and finding the best approach to reach them has been an established practice by
the best of our industry's teams for years.
But in today's world of savvy travelers, we must also look
for innovative ways to help future guests along the path of discovering their
preferences and how vacation ownership can fit into that journey.
For ARDA, we have utilized VacationBetter.org and
implemented a sophisticated online listening initiative as a platform for
finding out what motivates today's travelers and prospective timeshare owners. We
ask consumers "What kind of traveler are you?" in an online quiz to better understand their travel preferences but also to help them
understand what they want from the perfect vacation. Today, it's increasingly
about choices and options and gathering information before making a travel
decision—or purchase!
Many developers are customizing their sales and marketing
approaches to co-create a vacation experience with the owner-guest that
continues well beyond the sales table to check-in and during the on-site stay. Helping
future guests understand their vacation preferences helps customize a vacation
product that meets their needs. And developers must create experiences at
resorts—amenities, programs, activities—that enhance the vacation for the owner
based on their preferences.
Read more about specific consumer data pointsfrom ARDA and innovative programs that developers are undertaking.

- Are political parties still relevant?
- Why do wars happen? Is there anything that can be done to prevent them?
- What does it mean to be "conservative" or "liberal?"
- Is "gangsta rap" political?
- Is peace possible in the Middle East?
- Should the United States have pulled out of the Global Warming Treaty?
- Is the "right to a home" a fundamental human right?
- How and why do males become men and females become women?
- What does it mean to be a "citizen" in the 21st century?
- Why is there so much poverty in the third world?
- Why do democracy and capitalism take different forms in different countries?
- What political lessons can Americans learn from Nigerian films?
- Is the United States an expanding "empire?" Is that good or bad?
Our goal is to get students to think critically, to understand all sides of issues, to be aware of their own positions and world views, and to recognize the nature and content of political competition.
Courses cover topics such as the role of law in society; the dynamics of politics in the United States, Latin America, Africa, Russia, the Middle East, and Europe; the intersection of music and politics; the role of global migration in politics around the world; the causes and consequences of ethnic and religious conflict; the effect of race, gender, and class on our perceptions of the world.
Most politics classes are small and discussion-based. Students have the chance to share their ideas and debate them with their classmates and professors. Written assignments tend to be essays and papers in which students integrate what they've read and discussed in class with their own thinking.
Global Focus
Politics doesn't happen only in the United States, and it doesn't happen only within countries. It's a transnational, global process. Our curriculum reflects this fact, with a commitment that is reflected in our requirement that majors gain a basic proficiency in a foreign language. Our courses on the United States also incorporate a global focus.
International Studies Concentration for Politics Majors. Politics majors can declare a Concentration in International Studies, focusing their coursework on global topics. In addition, students with other majors can declare a Minor in International Politics.
Off-Campus Offerings and Internships
Politics majors can earn credit through internships in Ithaca, Albany, Washington, London, or any place in the world. Politics majors have interned in the New York State Assembly, the U.S. Congress, and the British House of Commons, as well as in other governmental and nongovernmental institutions. Many of our students also study at universities outside the United States, including in Ivory Coast, Ghana, France, the Czech Republic, and Australia.
Cross-Campus Connections
Our faculty make crucial contributions to many interdisciplinary programs on campus, including environmental studies, legal studies, women's studies, culture and communication, and first-year Ithaca Seminars. These programs involve not only politics majors but students from many different disciplines and programs. This kind of interdisciplinary experience is part of what makes our classes exciting and challenging.
Faculty Research
Faculty research interests currently range from memory in South Africa to the homeless in U.S. cities; from democracy assistance in the Balkans to the role of unions in U.S. political party strategies; from the connection between militarism and gender to the effects of the "war on terror" on upstate New York; from the role of Native Americans in the birth of international relations theory to the role of women in Islam; from the deportation of undocumented aliens from New York City to the question of tolerance in liberal democracies. Faculty members have published numerous books and articles and regularly present at major national and international conferences.
Our research contributes in crucial ways to both the topics of the courses we teach and the way we teach them.
