Creata recently launched its new brand, Monster 500, exclusively at Toys "R" Us . The line features 10 characters that race for one of five teams in the Monster 500 speed competition. Each character will be sold as a small, 3-inch die-cast vehicle, but customers can also collect select large character feature vehicles standing 4 inches high and 5 inches long. Two play sets are also available.
The Toy Book had the opportunity to speak with Michael Lillioja, president of Creata, about thew new brand, and what launching its own brand meant for the future of Creata.
The Toy Book: Monster 500 is the first line that is produced by Creata as its own brand. What made you decide to launch your own brand after manufacturing for other companies for more than 30 years?
Michael Lillioja: Creata's passion is toys. And we're serious about fun. So it just seemed like a natural extension to use all of our expertise to create a line of toys that has the functions and features that kids expect today. We did a lot of research to make sure that Monster 500 provides the best experience possible.
TB: Can you describe the Monster 500 brand? What age groups is it for? Who is the target audience?
ML: Our target age-grading is kids ages 4 and up, with a sweet spot of 6- to10-year-old boys. Our secondary audience is the collectors or "fanboys."
TB: Why did you decide on a Toys "R" Us exclusive?
ML: Toys "R" Us is the No. 1 specialty toy retailer that focuses exclusively on toys, and they are a great partner when it comes to launching a new product. We were fortunate to work with Toys "R" Us in the past, so it made perfect sense to continue that relationship with Monster 500. Our company history is rich with long-term partnerships. We see that the work we are doing on Monster 500 with Toys "R" Us is beneficial to both companies and has the potential to be a very long-term relationship.
TB: How does Monster 500 integrate classic physical play and new digital play? What sets it apart from other toys on the market that do this as well?
ML: Every toy comes with a Monster Code that unlocks a virtual monster car in the free racing game app. It's a best-in-class racing game experience, offered for free. And, with our "virtual blind box" unlock experience, you don't know which Monster 500 character will be unleashed. It's a surprise every time!
TB: What does the launch of Monster 500 mean for the future of your company? How has it changed the overall goals of the company?
ML: Play patterns are changing. The Monster 500 launch is our recognition that the future of play will focus on the intersection of physical and digital. The creation of the Monster 500 line is an extension of Creata's umbrella goal of adding play and fun to people's lives.
Michael Lillioja is president of Creata, an insights-driven company working to bring brands and consumers together through play. Creata's global brand activation capabilities include insights on how customers want to play; product design, development, and manufacturing; digital playground creation; and consumer promotion. Creata has 14 offices in 10 countries. www.creata.com.

March storm brings accumulation mystery, maybe miseryBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
March 10. 2014 9:27PM
Like it or not, it's going to snow again on Wednesday.
And forecasters say depending on how much it warms up, the southern tier of the state could see as little as 1-3 inches or a half-foot — or more. The northern half of the state is more likely to hit the snow jackpot, with up to a foot.
"I'm telling people we'll be done with the snow in July," National Weather Service meteorologist Margaret Curtis said.
The National Weather Service's station in Concord has recorded 70.5 inches of snow so far. That's 19.1 inches above winter's normal, Curtis said.
The Nor'easter will start Wednesday morning, continue through the night and into Thursday morning, she said. On Wednesday afternoon, the snow may mix with sleet and freezing rain in southern parts of the state, particularly the Route 101 area, so the commute may be difficult, Curtis said.
The Seacoast will likely be spared the brunt of the storm, she said. Inland areas will likely see "significantly larger totals." Weather forecasters are getting lots of complaints, she said.
"We're all tired of it, but March is normally a stormy month, so this storm is not unusual," she said. "We have had about 20 inches more than usual in New Hampshire, though, so it is getting to be a lot of snow."
Those in charge of cleaning up the snow say their budgets are being pushed by the overabundance of white stuff.
"If it continues like this, we might have to talk about our budget, but right now we're okay," said Gilford Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan, who said his crews have been "shelfing" or cutting back snow banks along roads in the past week, preparing for more snow.
"This has been a winter like we used to have in the 1970s and 80s," Morgan said.
"We are incredibly happy, the more the better," said Greg Kwasnik, communications director at Loon Mountain ski area in Lincoln.
"March is typically one of our better months, so we have been hopeful the storms would keep coming, Kwasnik said. "It's been a great year for snow."

As China eased restrictions on investing in banks and the ADP employment numbers were released this morning. ADP said U.S. Companies added 118,000 workers in November. The U.S. stock market continues to trade below key pivot levels. Our key pivot level for the DEC12 E-mini S&P 500 futures is 1420, and this morning this market is trading barely below unchanged, at 1405. The market continues to find sellers beneath 1420, as everyone awaits more clarity on the fiscal cliff negotiations. There is hope, and then there is reality. Right now, the markets seem less hopeful and more concerned. But it really just takes one announcement about a budget and tax agreement to completely change market sentiment. We shall see if and when this comes.
Gold futures are now trading below the key level of $1,700. Gold has not yet been able to recover from its sharp sell off last week. We see the next major support level for gold at around $1,625, and it looks like gold could be headed to test this level, to the potential disdain of gold-bugs worldwide. Silver futures are trading below our key pivot level of $35/oz. Short term movements in silver are classically very difficult to predict, so we will stick to our way of viewing the markets with our "decision level" or "line in the sand." To us, silver's line in the sand is $35. As long as silver is below $35, we don't believe it is a very bullish picture. But if silver rallies up past $35, it will look much more bullish to us.
We focus on the U.S. 10-year Treasury Note futures contract today. We have noted that this market could very well be in a double top formation. It is trading close to its recent high that was placed in November. If the non-farm payrolls numbers comes out significantly above expectations on Friday, we are looking for a very big sell off of this market. The first major support level we see is right above 132'24. This level could be hit on Friday if the jobs number is very strong. If this market starts to sell off and trades consistently below this support level, we look for selling momentum to continue, especially if we see a fiscal cliff resolution. We have noted some key trend indicator lines on the chart.

WASHINGTON, U.S. - The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un became the latest world leader to comment on columnist Michael Wolff's controversial book on U.S. President Donald Trump's presidency.
The nuclear nation's leader said on Thursday that the top-selling book spells the end for Trump's presidency and his political career, adding that the U.S. leader is "being massively humiliated worldwide."
'Fire And Fury' charts the Presidential team's journey from the campaign trail, to their unexpected victory, and into power.
The bombshell book details dysfunction, backstabbing and chaos in Trump's White House and even before its release, it created ripples after excerpts of the book were published.
Statements made by Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon caused a rupture in his relationship with the President, and other statements following the book's release led to questions about Trump's mental health.
The president and other White House aides have blasted the book as "inaccurate trash," with the President saying on Twitter, that the author was a "total loser," and claiming that he had written a "really boring and untruthful book."
But with the book becoming a sensation in the U.S., contents of the controversial title were picked up and ridiculed in Pyongyang.
North Korea's mouthpiece newspaper said that it had led to him being "massively humiliated worldwide."
On Thursday, North Korea's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper, operated by its ruling Workers' Party, featured an article about the book's contents and even mocked Trump reaction.
The article noted that the sales of the book reflect "rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments in the international community."
It said, "The anti-Trump book is sweeping all over the world so Trump is being massively humiliated worldwide."
The article noted that the book's popularity "foretells Trump's political demise."
Incidentally, over the summer, Trump threatened North Korea with "fire and fury like the world has never seen" in an exchange of taunts.
North Korea claimed it was examining plans to launch missiles towards the American territory of Guam, following which both the sides exchanged heated rhetoric.
Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have since traded threats of war and crude insults, and Pyongyang has conducted nuclear and long-range missile tests.
The U.S. President even called his rival "Rocket Man" claiming he was on a "suicide mission."
Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un called the 71-year-old president "the mentally deranged U.S. dotard."
Last week, in his new year address, Kim Jong Un said he had a "nuclear button" that could target weapons anywhere in the U.S..
In response, Trump responded that he had a much bigger and more powerful "nuclear button."
Days later, North Korea took steps to improve ties with its rival and neighbor South Korea, in what many called a tactic to divide Seoul and Washington and an efforts to U.S.-led international pressure and sanctions on the country.
In formal talks with South Korea on Tuesday, North Korea ended the two years of silence and even agreed to send a delegation to next month's Winter Olympics in the South.
North Korea has even agreed to hold military talks aimed at easing front-line animosity.
Last week, North Korea's state media called Trump a "war maniac" and "madman."

The earth is a giant magnet, the soil and rocks are magnetized and there are strong magnetic fields in the atmosphere. Human biology, which developed over the eons and even now matures in this natural magnetic environment, is totally dependent on it. Magnetic fields have been found by accident over the centuries, to help people. Magnetized rocks were reputed to be used by Hippocrates, the Father of Western Medicine, to relieve headaches. The Chinese wrote about how to use magnetic stones on acupuncture points in 200 BC. D'Arsonval in the 1700's in France discovered that pulsed electric magnetic fields stimulate the body. In the 1970's and 80's in the west, scientists began to study the magnetic fields produced by the body itself. The new field was called bioelectromagnetics. We now know definitely that the body itself is a large electromagnet. We also know the body produces electric fields.
Ask any engineer and you will be told that where there is electricity there is a magnetic field. You will also be told that when a magnet moves past an object capable of reacting electrically, you will generate electricity. The opposite is also true. When an object capable of reacting electrically is moved past a magnet, electricity will also be generated. What this means is that when the body, which is very magnetically active, interacts with specific medically designed magnetic fields, tiny therapeutically beneficial electric charges are generated.
What does mean to you? It means that you will see magnetic fields as a form of energy medicine, being used more and more in the future to heal problems that medicines can't or haven't been able to do. Most medicines are used to relieve symptoms but don't remove or heal the cause of the problem. They usually don't help the tissues heal themselves. Most medicines were developed to deal with problems far along in their course. They can be very effective at this stage but often carry significant risks. Doctors and consumers must continuously weigh the potential risks and benefits. The risks of these medicines are greater than the benefits for preventing problems or when the problems are very early in their development. If this is so, what alternatives do we have?
Let's take an example. When you have a skin infection, and damage has already been done to the tissues, antibiotics will typically be prescribed to halt the spread of the bacteria. The antibiotics don't heal the infection; they only stop the bacteria from multiplying further and doing more damage. The infection has progressed because the body wasn't able to handle it completely by itself. When the bacteria stop growing the body then has a fighting chance to heal the tissues and kill the remaining bacteria. What does medicine do to help the body to heal? Most of the time, nothing. The doctor relies on the body doing the rest of the job by itself. What can you do to speed recovery and assure better repair? Traditionally, herbals, vitamins and minerals, rest, good nutrition, acupuncture and physical therapies will help. Also, now medical magnetic fields can be used.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- The crowded North Sea shipping lanes off the Netherlands this week began operating under a sweeping new set of traffic rules meant to optimize safety.
The Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch transportation and infrastructure ministry, announced Wednesday the new traffic separation rules had been instituted to ensure safe distances between ships are maintained as they compete for space with new wind farms and oil and gas platforms.
Hundreds of miles of sea routes have been shifted under the changes.
"The Dutch part of the North Sea is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world," the ministry said in a statement. "Moreover, it is now also being used more and more intensively for other purposes, such as wind energy, nature protection and sand extraction.
"In order to keep the waterways safe for maritime traffic and to ensure a more efficient use of the available space, it has been decided to adapt the shipping routes."
After studying the issue for five years, it was determined that "safety was under pressure because more ships entered the sea and ships became larger," project manager Jacques van Kooten told the official Chinese news agency Xinhua.
"There was also a need for use by others, such as wind farms and oil or gas platforms. Safety and accessibility was at risk and the use of the North Sea was not optimal."
The North Sea sees more than 260,000 shipping movements per year, making it one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with much of the traffic serving Rotterdam. Traffic separation schemes adopted by the United Nations' International Maritime Organization have been in place for decades to regulate traffic so as to reduce the risk of collision between vessels.
They are sorely needed because the North Sea becoming busier with platforms for oil and gas extraction, ferries running between Britain and the Netherlands, fishing boats, pleasure boats, as well as military training areas and natural areas that ordinary shipping must avoid, Dutch newspaper Volkskrant reported.
Anchorages where ships must to enter the Dutch ports also present obstacles.
Under the new rules instituted Aug. 1, a new traffic separation scheme already in force in Rotterdam will be introduced in the approaches of IJmuiden, a port city in the Dutch province of North Holland connected by canal to Amsterdam, ensuring that vessels sailing in opposite directions have their own sea lanes.
The routes will be located farther from the coast and will intersect each other less often while anchorage areas will be relocated or abolished.
Meanwhile, spaces around objects such as oil platforms have been configured differently and "areas to be avoided" and "precautionary areas" have been introduced. Vessels will no longer be allowed to sail in "areas to be avoided" under the new regulations.
"This creates more space in the future for the construction of offshore wind farms," Van Kooten told the newspaper.
The relocation of the shipping routes is being carried out in cooperation with the port authorities, the Dutch Hydrographic Service and the coast guard.

2011 Record (ACC): 8-5 (4-4)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 15 (7/6/2)
Head coach Tom O'Brien could not have asked for a better first season from starting quarterback Mike Glennon last season, and was rewarded with a 3,000 yard and 31 touchdown performance. Now, in his second year as the Wolfpack's quarterback, Glennon will look to further establish himself among the ACC's elite signal callers. He'll have big-play threats Tobias Palmer and Quintin Payton to play with and a young ground game that should benefit from last year's experience. The defense has serious big play potential, racking up 40 sacks and leading the nation with 27 interceptions last season. Back to lead a seasoned secondary is All-American David Amerson, who led the nation with 13 interceptions in 2011, and safety Earl Wolff. Also returning is the lethal pass-rush duo of Art Norman and Darryl Cato-Bishop. With legitimate playmakers all over their depth chart, the Wolfpack could claim its first conference title in over 30 years.
This staff knows success. O'Brien is an impressive 8-2 in bowl games and has coached the Wolfpack to consecutive bowl wins the past two years. While an Orange Bowl berth has always eluded the folks in Raleigh, picking up crucial road wins at UNC and Clemson could help the Pack make their first BCS appearance.
2011 Record (ACC): 8-5 (5-3)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 11 (7/4/0)
Thought by many to be the surprise of the ACC last season, the Cavaliers rattled off eight wins and earned a Gator Bowl berth under ACC Coach of the Year Mike London in just his second year in Charlottesville. Despite losing firepower in the trenches, the Cavaliers return some dynamic skill players. Senior running back Perry Jones will likely be the focal point of London's offense and junior wide out Tim Smith is a legitimate big-play threat. Junior quarterback Michael Rocco was one of the Cav's most improved players during the 2011-12 season, but incoming Alabama transfer Phillip Sims could make for an interesting battle in camp and the early season. With a favorable ACC schedule, and London at the helm, don't be surprised to see Virginia making a run at the Costal Division crown.
Virginia's home slate includes early matchups against Richmond – London's former team – and Penn State, but they'll be challenged on the road at TCU September 22. They'll play Miami and UNC in back-to-back weeks in November and a pair of wins there should put the Cavaliers within striking distance of an ACC title. However, it'll likely be their regular season finale at rival Virginia Tech that determines if UVA can make its first Orange Bowl appearance.

Thread: Renderings of the BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe 228i - Competitor for the Audi A3 sedan and Mercedes CLA?
Renderings of the BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe 228i - Competitor for the Audi A3 sedan and Mercedes CLA?
The Audi A3 sedan is on its way. As is the Mercedes-Benz CLA which will also come in CLA 45 AMG form. Both of these vehicles will feature 2.0 liter direct injected and turbocharged motors with all wheel drive and dual clutch options. This segment is heating up but where is BMW's answer? The current F20 1-Series is not sold in the USA and the platform would likely return to North America as a 2-Series sedan due to BMW's belief (like most German manufacturers) that the American market does not want hatchbacks.
The renderings below depict a 2-Series Gran Coupe sedan which would be BMW's answer to the A3 sedan and Mercedes CLA. BMW already announced they are planning a major model expansion which includes a 2-Series. The 2-Series would likely have derivatives such as a gran coupe in order to squeeze as many sales as possible out of the platform. Drivetrain options would likely mirror the F20 1-Series.
What would really be exciting is an M2 model which BMW is apparently considering with a tweaked N20 4-cylinder with an output of over 340 horses. Things are definitely going to get interesting next year and BimmerBoost will bring you more details on the platform as it develops.
These 2 series will turn out to be the new 3 series. At least thats how it feels like. Don't see the point of a 4 door smaller than a 3 series, unless your talking Toyota, Nissan...etc..,
Apparently there will also be a 2 series Gran Sport Tourer according to Scott26.

Not sure why everyone is getting bent over the numbering. It has nice lines. Hopefully they don't F it up like they did with the 1 series.

If it would look like this, everybody would buy it instead of the 3-series. Rest assured, it will be much more ugly.

The proportions look out of whack. Especially the side windows area which is too small. Looks like the roof has been chopped.

Thats just marketing placement. Trying to push the BMW philosophy with apparently good arguments/assays (that have been studied hours before in meetings) in the peoples head through new media (=forums) where people don't recognize it as such and are open minded or at least expect other people with (different) opinions and not marketing-gurus.
You will never know if what he writes has really a information purpose or maybe just a statistics purpose (to see how people react to different BMW ideas) or simply both.
Apparently spreading his insider knowledge before it gets public and newer getting fired for that (like a normal employee would when spreading secrets to the public constantly).
For myself i think the 2 series will be more appealing to me than the new 3-4 series. They have grown too much. Maybe a 235i would be a fine car for me(as gran coupe.. who knows). Should almost be the size of an e46 3 series and thats enough.
Just please dont mess up the optics like the new 1 series....
I have a friend who works in graphic design and he got to work with Scion on some of the marketing for the FR-S and saw the final car waaay before it came out (he sent me a pic and we talked about some details which made me really excited about it but that's another story) but he said the Scion guys estimated that 90% of "leaked" photos or information on the web actually comes straight out of the car manufacturers. They'll literally have someone snap photos of their test cars, make sure the photos reveal a tiny bit but not too much and then "leak" them to the internet. Of course there are actual spy photographers, too, but manufacturers are becoming quite good at this sort of viral marketing.

Can't make it to this year's South by Southwest (aka SXSW) conference in Austin? At least you don't have to miss out on the music.
As part of its SXSW: Live from Austin series, NPR is offering The Austin 100 -- a collection of 100 songs by 100 artists, all in MP3 format, all absolutely free.
And I mean really and truly free: There's nothing to register for, no form to complete, and not a single Facebook or Twitter sharing requirement.
Just scroll down a bit until you see the Download the Music box on the left, then right-click the Zip file to download the entire batch of songs. You can also scroll down a bit further and download individual tracks if you prefer.
These are largely indie acts, of course, but you might recognize a few of the names: The Polyphonic Spree, Nick Cave, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, for example. And don't forget that plenty of former unknowns made big splashes at SXSW, including Arctic Monkeys, Fleet Foxes, and Foster the People.
Anyway, it's free music (available until April 4), so download it, enjoy it, and toss what you don't like. Then ask yourself, "When was the last time I wrote NPR a check?" Just saying.
Bonus deal: If you've been thinking about joining your local Sam's Club, here's a LivingSocial deal that sweetens the offer: a one-year Sam's Club membership, a $20 gift card, and various food vouchers for $45. Normally a membership alone runs $40; the goodies here have a combined value of about $80, so it's practically a wash.
Bonus deal No. 2: To celebrate Google Play's first birthday (as Google Play, anyway), Google is offering a smattering of special deals on books, movies, apps, and more. Today, for example, you can get "Breaking Bad," season one, episode one, free of charge. But make sure to click all the links in the Our Gifts to You paragraph to see what other goodies you can get: dollar magazines, 99-cent movie rentals, and so on.
Deals found on The Cheapskate are subject to availability, expiration, and other terms determined by sellers.

Is there a way to modify the "Highly Efficient 0-100% LED Dimmer" and use it withthe Arduinos PWM?
To much detail?Hm, but nobody wants flickering lights in the living room?
In the moment everything is open - but when the wallpaper is done it's to late to changesomething. So i need to make sure everything is planed correct and thats the reasoni read allot.
#define hallwayLightOff 22#define hallwayLightOn 23#define hallwayLightPin 6int hallwayLightPWM = 0;void setup () { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(hallwayLightOff, INPUT); digitalWrite(hallwayLightOff, HIGH); pinMode(hallwayLightOn, INPUT); digitalWrite(hallwayLightOn, HIGH); pinMode(hallwayLightPin, OUTPUT);}long hallwayLightValue = 0;void loop() { hallwayLightPWM = map(hallwayLightValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255); if(digitalRead(hallwayLightOff) == LOW) { if (hallwayLightValue++ > 1023) { hallwayLightValue = 1023; } // constrain high value } if(digitalRead(hallwayLightOn) == LOW) { if (hallwayLightValue-- < 0) { hallwayLightValue = 0; } // constrain low value } analogWrite(hallwayLightPin, hallwayLightPWM); Serial.println(hallwayLightPWM); delay(1); // speed of change}
Everything here is 230 Volts. I don't want that anymore.If i make it 12 Volt i save energy and can power it one day with photo voltaic.
Edit:My first test LED lamp is here.There is something i forgot. They work with AC and DC and it doesn't matterwhere you connect positive and negative. So there must be some kind of electronic inside the lamp.Somebody know how they work? How does this effect the dimming circuit i need to build?
If i switch from "PWM 1" to "0" it really needs long until my multimeter goes down to 4,5V.
What is over-kill?
Selling the house my parents build stone by stone with there own hands - never ever
I have no lux meter.But what about the 4.5Volt i always have?Why does the Mosfet not totally turn off?

Stout Barrel House & Galley
642 N. Clark St. 312-475-1390

111 W. Kinzie St. 312-880-1511
This massive multi-room restaurant and bar with a throwback theme and sign-less entrance proves that the speakeasy trend is far from over.
401 N. Wabash Ave. 312-588-8030
The majestic views of the Chicago River and downtown landmarks such as the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower from this dining room only add to the decadence of a special-occasion meal here.

676 N. St. Clair St. 312-202-0001
While the setting—stark white with art-decked walls—may be minimalist, the inventive French-inspired plates served at this high-end dining room are anything but.
Flour & Stone
355 E. Ohio St. 312-822-8998
Despite what you might assume from its tagline--"Chicago's Brooklyn-style pizzeria"—this isn't your typical NYC-style by-the-slice joint. Thirteen-inch pizzas feature a crispy crust and premium ingredients ranging from oyster mushrooms to artichokes to roasted red pepper.

Hubbard Inn
110 W. Hubbard St. 312-222-1331

Tre Soldi
212 E. Ohio St. 312-664-0212

BOSTON — Eyes and ears are on video tapes and 911 calls this week: sights and sounds that may add understanding to how a college student from Easton, Mass., was shot dead by a Westchester County, N.Y., police officer. Check out the documents.
At 11:15 a.m. on Monday, previously unavailable documents related to the shooting of DJ Henry were made available to the public. The Pace University student, who graduated from Oliver Ames High School, was shot and killed in front of a popular college hangout in Thornwood, N.Y., in October 2010 by Pleasantville, N.Y., police officer Aaron Hess. Hess said that Henry tried to run him over and he fired his weapon in self-defense. Hess and a fellow policeman were cleared by a New York grand jury.
The Henry family sued in federal court to have the documents that had been suppressed in the case made public. The investigative file was compiled by the Mt. Pleasant and Pleasantville police and contains hundreds of individual items, including 911 calls, video and witness statements. A federal judge in White Plains last week ruled that a confidentially order should be lifted.
The 911 audio purports to demonstrate Hess discussing his own physical condition and stating that he is OK. However, the video embedded above, according to the attorney for the family, Michael Sussman, shows medical crews tending to Hess but not Henry, who was pulled from his car onto the street after he was shot. Other documents, according to Sussman, include evidence that a dash camera from a police cruiser was purposely disabled, as well as witness affidavits alleging that Hess drew his gun prior to impact with the vehicle driven by Henry. The file further contains confirmation of deadly force training and standard operating procedures for Mt. Pleasant and Pleasantville police departments that strongly prohibit firing at a moving vehicle.
Sussman said at a Mar. 12 press conference that the attorneys would continue to release materials. He declined, however, to give many opinions on those materials: "I am not going to try this case in the media. I am giving you information which is relevant to questions many of you have asked since October of 2010 — rates of speed of the car, was [Hess'] gun out when he came into the street and numerous, numerous other questions. I am not going to interpret the information except in a court."
Robert Johnson, a lawyer involved in one of eight civil cases related to the Henry shooting, said in an interview with WGBH News that this case has national and constitutional significance. He believed that the 13th amendment would weigh heavily in the federal civil rights trail, which Sussman says is quite a ways off. The Henry family was scheduled to meet with Justice Department lawyers on Monday.

Categories: Criminal Law
Instructor(s) Smith, Michael
What purposes should the state's sentencing power over the
individual serve? What are the most effective means of achieving those
purposes? How well do various criminal justice administration systems
serve those purposes now? What alternatives might be employed to serve
those purposes better? Attempting to answer these questions
will lead us to examine purposes such as public safety, punishment, vengeance,
and the expression of social values; means such as death, incarceration,
supervision, restitution and shaming; systems such as truth-in-sentencing,
sentencing guidelines, 'supermax' prisons, and community supervision; and a
host of possible alternatives. Students will be assigned weekly readings
for discussion, and may choose to write a number of short papers or one long
paper. Topics must be approved by the instructor.

Versatile, healthful -- and pricey; learn to treat swordfish right
I'm just as susceptible as the next guy to the onslaught of media hype scolding us to replace bad fats, sweets and red meat with whole grains, good carbs and fish.
So I'm cutting down on beef steaks and ramping up on fish steaks, hopefully staying on that regimen well beyond the point where I fall prey to ads for Valentine's Day chocolate.
I figured I'd start with swordfish, among the meatiest of all seafood. Its nutritional profile isn't all that different from that of sirloin, except it has something beef doesn't: more than a gram per serving of treasured, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. And thanks to smart fishery management, the stock of Atlantic swordfish that was so decimated in the 1990s has been rebuilt, to the point where it is considered an environmentally friendly dining choice.
But it's not cheap. The fish that D.C. area wholesaler Tim Sughrue of Congressional Seafood buys are long-line caught 40 miles east of Virginia Beach, where the continental shelf meets the warm Gulf Stream waters that attract swordfish. They're only three days out of the water when he gets them, so fresh their bloodlines are still fire-engine red, which is why they command a premium, he told me.
I'll say. I bought the swordfish for a stunning $26.99 a pound, so I resolved to use every bit of it I could.
The 12-pound chunk I purchased was as breathtaking as the price. A cross-section revealed bright, white whorls of flesh in two loins on either side of the bloodline, which I removed and discarded because I don't care for its appearance and strong taste.
Swordfish's meaty texture and, without that bloodline, its mild, lightly sweet qualities lend themselves to basic preparations, such as simply grilling steaks and dressing them with olive oil, lemon, herbs and perhaps a touch of garlic. To that end, I found myself drawn to regional styles of cooking that lack affectation: Basque, Japanese, Italian and Provencal. Those styles were born where seafood is a staple, and the quality of the catch is so superlative, cooks understand not to muck about with it.
Given what I paid for it, though, I wanted to take it to another level, but I had to learn the hard way to resist the urge to add ingredients superfluously. Example: An attempt at a Japanese preparation, poaching the fish in chili oil, failed because I was thinking too much about the garnish of shisito peppers (which didn't contribute much flavor) and not enough about the fish (which turned out greasy).
I stayed with the Japanese approach on my second try. As I butchered more fish, I had to cut deep into a piece to remove the bloodline. That created a flap that, when bent back, made the steak look like a rib chop, which I marinated in chili oil, ginger, mirin and tamari. Before searing, I sprinkled it with sugar (for extra caramelization) and finished the "chop" in a very low oven (220 degrees) instead of a high one, as I had been trained. The low-and-slow fish method results in a moister fish, a concept I learned from chef Michel Richard.
Yellow strips of omelet (tamago in Japanese) went under the fish, which I topped with a tamari, mirin and pickled ginger dressing with a touch of serrano heat. Shisito peppers were out; shiso leaves were in. Their intriguing taste, a combination of cilantro, basil and lemon, harmonizes perfectly with swordfish.
At first glance, cooking a dense fish such as swordfish is not as tricky a process as it is for more delicate fish, but it still requires attention.
Overcooking is deadly for any fish, but for swordfish it's particularly heinous. With the leached moisture goes any hint of flavor, and the texture becomes pasty. Undercooked, it is rubbery. Unlike, say, salmon, which doesn't dry out as much as it cooks, swordfish needs to be served medium well, to the point where it is just cooked through but still juicy.
To guard against overcooking, you have to cut steaks ¾ to 1 inch thick; any thinner and they would be past the point of no return in the blink of an eye. Insert a remote thermometer into a steak and set it at 120 to 125 degrees. That takes out the guesswork. Poking a piece of swordfish to test for doneness doesn't work; it feels just as hard at medium and medium well as at well done.
A thick piece of swordfish is also hard to finish on the stove: It gets too hard on the outside before it is done on the inside. Searing on one side only, then turning the fish over and finishing in the oven avoids the risk of overcooking.
I finished seared steaks in the oven with my piperade of softly cooked onions, bell peppers and garlic, finishing the dish with drizzles of excellent olive oil. Again, the fish took center stage -- and again I had to pull back, replacing the distracting heat of cayenne pepper with mild Basque Espelette pepper and smoked paprika for depth.
Slowly baking a swordfish roast with olive oil, capers and thinly sliced lemons turned out dreadfully. The oil was acrid from the lemon rinds, and when I tried to carve the roast into the lovely slices I envisioned, the flesh disintegrated into a shredded mess.
The solution: I cut the roast into slices before baking, pressing in between them a rustic Italian breadcrumb stuffing. I tied the roast and baked it at 350 degrees. The stuffing browned on top, heated all the way through and buffered the slices from the oven's dry heat. The result was a stunning presentation piece of lemony, herbal, easily sliceable and moist swordfish -- plus a built-in side dish.
As much as I love it, swordfish does come with caveats. Like mackerel, shark and tilefish, it contains relatively high levels of mercury, so the FDA recommends consumption in moderation for most eaters and warns pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children to skip it.
Eyeing leftover scraps of this expensive fish, I abandoned the idea for a carpaccio treatment in favor of using up those odd bits. Originally, I had envisioned a version of vitello tonnato, thin slices of veal set on a tuna sauce. Instead, I cut the leftover scraps into cubes, sauteed them and turned them into a Provence-worthy salad, using them to top red leaf lettuce dressed with parsley-orange vinaigrette, then drizzling with tonnato sauce and finishing with rosy segments of Cara Cara orange.
This might be the makings of a meal that ends in chocolate. Won't I deserve it?

Michael Steele with a wild turkey he shot in 2012
This article was reported in partnership with the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute. Research assistance: Darren Ankrom, Abbie Nehring.
Michael Steele, a gregarious kid whose friends sometimes called him Bubba, had recently shot up from chubby middle-schooler to a teen with a six-foot-three, 185-pound frame. For the last couple of summers, beginning when he was just 13, he had worked chopping wood, selling his garden vegetables and hauling hay for local farmers. Michael, who shared a home in the tiny town of Frankford, Missouri, with his mother and sister, had his eyes on a single goal. "He saved up all his money for a truck," his mother, Dena Steele, told me. "He went from playing video games 24/7 to working all the time. Even when one of his friends or his girlfriend wanted to hang out, he told them, 'No, I have to work.' "
The truck Michael wanted was a blue 2002 Dodge Ram pickup with a Cummins diesel engine, the kind you see on rural roads with custom alterations like giant wheels or chromed exhaust pipes curving up from the sides of the cab. Michael's mind was so fixed on this truck that he'd begun to build his life dreams around it, setting his sights on a vocational program in diesel mechanics.
By last summer, Michael had saved up $7,000 from his modest farm wages, but he didn't live to get his Dodge Ram. He went out the afternoon of July 1 with a friend, 17-year-old Matt McGlasson, to earn just a little more, moving hay bales for a horse farmer who is a cousin of his grandfather's.
Michael climbed high up into the driver's seat on a 1954 International Harvester tractor, the same model his grandfather had taught him on—a tractor built before seat belts came along. It had a long flatbed trailer, ten to fifteen feet, hitched to its rear for carrying hay bales.
McGlasson rode on the empty trailer, his back to Michael. The gravel road to the hay field was dusty but even, free of potholes. But somehow Michael lost his balance. McGlasson told the Highway Patrol at the scene: "I was sitting on the back of the trailer facing north. I heard him yell and saw he was holding on to, I think, the back of the seat. I stood up and seen him let go and fall."
Michael had fallen to the left side, onto the roadway. McGlasson reacted fast, clambering along the trailer to the tractor's gears to stop it. But the tractor continued, driverless, for a crucial moment, long enough for the left wheels and axle of the flatbed to crush Michael's chest. He died at the scene. He was just 15.

Public Information Officer
Niagara County Public Information Office
Niagara County Legislature Majority Leader Rick Updegrove, R-Lockport, has called into question a little-known mandate that requires Yahoo, as part of an incentive-laden package to expand its Lockport operation, to contribute millions of dollars to a Buffalo nonprofit agency.
A provision in the agreement with Yahoo, which provides low-cost power, tax credits, and other incentives to the corporation, states, "As a condition to the receipt of Excelsior Tax Credits and an allocation of hydropower, the Recipient has agreed to and shall enter into a Community Benefit Agreement (the 'Agreement') with the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo (the 'Foundation'). The Agreement shall be subject to review and approval by ESD and NYPA and shall commit the Recipient to make annual grant payments to the Foundation of $500,000 for a period of seven (7) years. The Agreement shall require that any distributions of the grant funds provided to the Foundation by the Recipient shall be subject to the approval of Empire State Development."
Updegrove, who served as chairman of the economic development committee when Yahoo initially chose to build its $150 million data center on a 30-acre property in Lockport in June 2009, expressed concern with the idea of funding a Buffalo non-profit when so many residents of Niagara County could benefit from this investment in their community.
"While we have been successful in facing many economic challenges, these monies could further enhance the quality of life for the residents of Niagara County and make us more attractive for businesses looking to locate or expand here," Updegrove said.
Updegrove made it clear that his intention is not to take funds away from the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, but to enact a disbursement process that benefits not only greater Buffalo, but the host community as well.
"While I certainly appreciate the fact that Buffalo is facing its share of challenges, the reality is that we need to look at a fair and equitable disbursement of those funds so that the people of Niagara County may also benefit," he said. "The Foundation for Buffalo continues to do admirable work for the community. I'm simply asking for a review of the process in order to ensure that the people of Niagara County receive our fair share."
Updegrove said he plans to introduce legislation asking the state to review the current agreement.

Canton police are looking for five people in connection with two unrelated incidents after a kidnapped, self-proclaimed heroin addict tells police he's been burglarizing Stark County homes.
Police are looking for five people — a duo accused of kidnapping a man while extorting money from his family and three others who investigators say burglarized area homes and sold the stolen goods.
Warrants have been issued for all six — including the kidnapping victim, whom police have identified as Steven M. Zanin, 31, of 2454 Viceroy Dr. SW in Tuscarawas Township.
Detectives are also looking for:
• Isaiah Carl-Lee Thomas, 23, of 816 Lawrence Rd. NE
• Regina M. Morales, 22, of 4533 Stephen Circle NW in Jackson Township
• Jason A. Hull, 32, of 2522 Harmont Ave. NE
• Michael L. Robinson Jr., 30, of 910 Shorb Ave. NW
• Crystal Pettit, 24, whose last known address was listed as 1005 Woodview St. SW, said Capt. Dave Davis, who heads the police department's Detective Bureau.
Only Zanin has been arrested.
Police arrested him Tuesday on warrants charging him with two counts of burglary, Stark County Jail records said.
And due to what Davis called "an unbelievably great job (by the detective) investigating this pretty elaborate case," the majority of the stolen goods have been recovered.
Zanin initially went to police a week ago, telling them that between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Jan. 21, Thomas and Morales kidnapped him at Sixth Street and Cleveland Avenue NW, Canton police reports said.
The duo reportedly drove him around Canton, Massillon and Jackson Township in a Ford Ranger pickup as they threatened to kill him if his family didn't give them money for his release, said Detective Bill Adams, who handled the investigation.
Two members of Zanin's family gave Morales and Thomas an undisclosed amount of money to secure Zanin's release, Adams said.
A few hours later, Zanin reported the incident.
Arrest warrants were issued for Thomas and Morales, each on charges of kidnapping and extortion. Morales is additionally wanted on an aggravated robbery charge.
Zanin also told police that due to his heroin addiction, he and two other men had been burglarizing homes throughout the county.
Adams said one of the burglaries occurred in Massillon, another in Perry Township and the remainder in Canton. Police in those jurisdictions have been notified, the detective said.
Zanin was charged with the Jan. 25 burglary of a home in the 1000 block of Linwood Avenue SW and the Sunday burglary of a home in the 1200 block of Perkins Avenue NW, Davis said.
Warrants stemming from those burglaries have also been issued for the arrests of Hull and Robinson.
Zanin, Hull and Robinson are accused of stealing "items they could sell quickly — TVs, jewelry, electronics, iPods, gaming systems, guns..." Adams said.
The items were sold to gold-exchange businesses in Plain Township and the Belden Village areas, he said.
Hull and Robinson are each wanted on multiple counts of burglary and receiving stolen property, and Pettit is wanted on two counts of felony receiving stolen property, Adams said.
He said more charges and more arrests are also pending as the investigation continued Thursday.
He asked anyone who knows the location of those wanted in this case, or any other information about the burglaries, to call police at 330-649-5800 or the detective bureau at 330-489-3144.

CARSON, Calif. – Three is the magic number for the Seattle Sounders.
Fredy Montero scored his first MLS hat trick and Mauro Rosales had three assists as the Sounders beat Chivas USA, 6-2, at The Home Depot Center on Saturday.
The victory, Seattle's fourth in their last five matches, lifted the Sounders into second place in the West, tied on points with Real Salt Lake, with two games in hand.
HIGHLIGHTS: Chivas USA 2, Seattle 6
Meanwhile, Chivas USA lost for the second consecutive match at home and saw their playoff chances continue to worsen. They are now 10 points behind fifth-place Vancouver, who currently sit in the final playoff position in the West.
Chivas came out with a bit of fire. Having made five changes to the starting lineup, the shakeup seemed to work early on. Young attackers Tristan Bowen and Miller Bolaños put themselves in dangerous positions early on, but were unable to find the net.
And their failures set the stage for Seattle – whose lineup saw only one change from the one that beat Vancovuer last time out: Montero's return to the starting XI after two matches subbing on – to jump out in front. Montero slipped a ball to Brad Evans on the left side of the field, narrowly getting it by James Riley. Evans walked into the penalty area and easily beat Dan Kennedy as Seattle went up 1-0 with 10 minutes gone.
Montero, who made his 100th regular-season MLS start, scored his first goal in the 27th minute after a nifty combination. Evans found Mauro Rosales who knocked it into Montero. From 10 yards out, Montero made no mistake.
Barely seven minutes later, Seattle threatened to pull even farther ahead. Again Montero received a lovely pass from Rosales as he cut into the area. He ran onto the ball and chipped it coolly past Kennedy.
But Chivas weren't dead yet. They got back into it in the 37th minute with the help of the match official. Seattle defender Jeff Parke was whistled for a penalty kick infraction just moments after Montero's second goal. Juan Agudelo, who started his third straight match, easily beat Michael Gspurning to pull the hosts to within two.
Bolaños then made things interesting after the break. At least momentarily. The young Ecuadorian drove at the Seattle defense and, when no one closed him down, sent a blistering shot past Gspurning from 20 yards out in the 64th minute.
OPTA Chalkboard: Montero's deadly efficiency
But Bolaños' goal boost didn't last. Rosales again set up Montero, and for the third time on the night, the Colombian marksman buried his shot. It was his 11th goal of the season and the sixth in the last four matches. He has now scored in four games in a row.
Sammy Ochoa buried a header in the 80th minute to give Seattle a three-goal edge, and in stoppage time, the Rojiblancos' Ante Jazic headed a ball into his own net to give Seattle their sixth goal.
This was the first time in Chivas USA history that the club has allowed six goals in a game.
They will have the chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday at New England.
Seattle return to CONCACAF Champions League action on Thursday, when they visit face Trinidadian side Caledonia. They are back in MLS action away to Dallas on Sunday, September 2.

Fruit Fly Infestation Shuts Down Macy's Food Court
Health inspectors found over 200 fruit flies infesting the lower level food court of the Macy's State Street store in Chicago. Inspectors first discovered the infestation last week after a disgusted customer complained to 311. Food court employees apparently were not bothered by either the fruit flies or the health inspectors. From the Chicago Tribune:
"Not only did they not do anything, the problems seemed to get worse," [Tim Hadac, spokesman for the Chicago Department of Public Health] said. "It was a surprising and disappointing lack of adherence to basic food safety regulation… We stopped counting fruit flies when they hit 200."
The inspectors also found:
The food court and an adjoining Starbucks will remain closed until Macy's figures out how to kill the fruit flies. A cleaning service has been hired to help. The food court is expected to reopen later today.

Would like to meet ...
Wednesday 14 January
When it comes to unreasonable demands and harsh judgments, online dating brings out the worst in people—and, after spending silly amounts of time browsing profiles during the last two weeks, I've realised Christian dating websites are no exception.
HopefulGirl lives in a major UK city and works in the media. She has been a Christian for 27 years. After finding herself suddenly single at 35, she set about finding Mr Right. Her anonymous column in Woman Alive magazine, in which she shared the highs and lows of her adventures on the Christian singles scene, was an instant hit with readers.
The loud clicking of the biological clock and the lack of marriageable men in the church triggers alarm. What do to? Ah yes… time to call a hairdresser!… and so begins HopefulGirl's four-year mission to find 'The One'—with the help of Christian dating websites, church singles events and some well-meaning friends.
Her book, Would Like to Meet, goes behind the scenes to reveal the full story of her four-year journey from dejected dumpee to dating doyenne. She has a growing following on Twitter and Facebook: @HopefulGirlUK; www.facebook.com/HopefulGirlUK
Tuesday 22 June
DimpleMan has something in common with several men I've met on the Christian singles scene. Despite being nice-looking and pleasant, with good social skills, he hasn't had a girlfriend since he was 19. It's a mystery how any passable Christian man can go decades without a relationship!
Writing in a diary format, HopefulGirl records her encounters with TinyMan, PilotMan, BeardyMan, TechiMan, HaughtyMan, ShyMan, CountryMan and a host of other colourful characters. Fun, very amusing and, yes, it is a story that will appeal strongly to anyone who has used dating websites and single events, imagined what it may be like to use them or simply wants a good read about a search for love.
Friday 30 October
When TechiMan and I met for the fifth time (Italian, if you're wondering), he was in a subdued mood. He'd obviously been doing some thinking since our last rendezvous, and we had one of those conversations where we weren't discussing 'us', but really we were, and we both knew it.
But underlying the story is a more serious survival issue that the church faces and, through the humour of HopefulGirl's endeavours, laughter and tears, it leaks out into the storyline. Churches often focus their attention on families and couples and offer little in the way of a positive message to singles, except trying to force them into relationships. More critically, though, single Christian women greatly outnumber Christian single men in most church settings, creating a chase that is unequal. As HopefulGirl pleads in her list of suggestions to church leaders at the end of the book, 'Please, get more men into the church. We don't know how, but something needs to change. We're counting on you!'
Jackie Harris, Editor, Woman Alive says: "Readers of Woman Alive have been following HopefulGirl's journey for more than three years and it's become one of the most popular features in the magazine. Singles have identified with her story and married readers have taken up her cause, offered advice and shared their own stories of how they met their man. We've laughed, booed, cheered and winced over some of her encounters, and everyone is desperate for a happy ending for our heroine.
"But alongside all the fun, HopefulGirl has provided a real insight into the Christian dating scene and the challenges facing single Christian women searching for love. Amid a host of colourful characters including PilotMan, NastyMan and CrewCutMan, plus the ever helpful TopBro, she highlights the problems of an imbalance of the sexes in our churches, unrealistic expectations, and unhelpful comments and matchmaking from well-meaning friends and church members. This is a warm, witty and engaging story, which tackles a major issue for many women (and men) in our churches today."
Would like to Meet is published on 18 Jan 2013, priced £6.99, ISBN 978 0 85746 152 0, pb, 160 pages

Raymond man charged in baby abuse case indicted on witness tampering charges
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Cavan Moore, of Raymond, was indicted on two witness-tampering charges alleging he encouraged his wife to testify falsely about who allegedly had abused their infant son. (JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE)
Jurors allowed to hear Raymond man's statements to police in baby abuse case
Raymond man says police pressured him to speak about son's injuries
Raymond man faces charges for abusing his infant son
— A Raymond man jailed on charges that he broke several of his 7-week-old son's bones was indicted for allegedly trying to get his wife to falsely testify about the abuse allegations, prosecutors said.
A grand jury returned two charges of felony witness tampering against Cavan Moore, 27, for allegedly contacting his wife about her testimony between Jan. 1 and April 15.
The indictments were made public late Monday in Rockingham County Superior Court.
Each charge is punishable by up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison.
Moore already faces 14 counts of second-degree assault and six counts of endangering the welfare of a child in connection with the abuse case.
He is scheduled to go on trial next month on those charges. His wife, Erica, also faces misdemeanor child endangerment charges.
The new witness tampering charges come just weeks after a judge decided that a jury will be allowed to hear statements that Cavan Moore made to Raymond police just prior to being arrested Dec. 28, 2012.
Raymond police were called to Exeter Hospital after receiving a report from doctors that a baby boy had suffered several fractures, including breaks to his wrist, forearm, clavicle and ankle, according to court records.
His public defenders complained that Moore was never read his Miranda rights before being questioned. They also suggested that Raymond police Detective Richard Labell had essentially restrained Moore by closing a door to a hospital room during the interview.
Judge Kenneth McHugh disagreed with the defense, saying that Labell made it clear to Moore that he was free to break off the conversation and leave the room at any time.
"The facts strongly suggest that Mr. Moore was not deprived of his freedom by Detective Labell in any significant way," McHugh said in a seven-page decision.
Moore made no explicit admission about his son's injuries during the police interview, McHugh noted. But prosecutors and police suggest that Moore gave varying accounts with how his son was injured.
Moore agreed to give a written statement to Labell at the hospital. Before he started to write, Moore allegedly said, "I may have stepped on my son's ankle when I was playing a video game," according to court testimony.
Labell testified that he left Moore in the hospital room for about 20 minutes to complete his written statement. Labell returned to find Moore with his wife.
Moore had then told Labell, "I may have sat on my son's ankle" before completing his written statement, a court order said. Labell confronted Moore about the two different statements. Moore denied saying the earlier statement.

Dumbo Part 8
This sequence begins with Mrs. Jumbo and Dumbo both sadly swaying to the music. Though separated by space, their mirror actions show that their feelings are the same; they are depressed due to their separation.
While Bill Tytla is justifiably celebrated for certain scenes in this film, particularly Dumbo's bath and the "Baby Mine" section, he doesn't receive enough attention for the other elephants. Within this film, he shows an enormous range of acting, portraying both heroes and villains, innocence and repulsiveness. The four antagonist elephants are self-righteous, insensitive and cruel. Tytla works both sides of the street, so to speak, stressing Dumbo's appeal while also showing how repellent the other elephants are. It's this combination that creates the film's emotional impact.
Because Dumbo is unjustly vilified, we immediately like Timothy for sticking up for him. His scaring the elephants is emotionally satisfying as it deflates their pride and superiority. The fact that someone so small can triumph over others so large is a foreshadowing of Dumbo's eventual success.
Timothy is voiced by Ed Brophy, an actor whose film career spanned 1920 to 1960. The earliest film I've seen him in is Buster Keaton's The Cameraman (1928) and the latest is John Ford's The Last Hurrah (1958). Brophy typically played urban wise-guys or detectives. Timothy is a different kind of role for Brophy, as it is warm and sentimental, not his typical persona.
It's interesting that Disney repeatedly used some voices over the years (Verna Felton and Sterling Holloway in this film went on to do many others) but some, like Brophy, were never used again. It's a shame, as I think that Timothy is one of Brophy's best roles and his voice was certainly distinctive and flexible enough to inspire some great animation.
Woolie Reitherman's Timothy is more solid and structural than Fred Moore's (who doesn't appear until later in the film). Reitherman has some nice business with the peanut (why no sound effect when the shell cracks in shot 8.1?), and Timothy's scare tactics are fairly reserved, better to contrast with the wild fear they inspire. Bill Shull's animation of the panic-stricken elephants in shot 38 is excellent.
I was aware that Ben Sharpsteen did some last minute editing on this film and I always assumed that the jump cut between shots 32 and 33 was the result of that. I was surprised to see on the draft that these shots were never separated by a cut away to something else. I wonder if the end of 32 or the start of 33 was truncated to speed up Dumbo's exit. I find it hard to believe that a cut this bad was intended.
(Michael Sporn has posted a Bill Tytla Dumbo run here.)

I really like Woolie Reitherman's work on films, and I really like his Timothy Mouse work, its a shame that his work only appears in two sequences, and he doesn't seem to do a lot!!

I love Bill Tytla's animation here. It shows that he was capable of more than big, broad characters. His animation shows precise characterization (which is definitely helped by the strong story, as nothing is created in a vacuum). It's a shame that scenes like these don't come up in other discussions about him.

Wolfgang Reitherman shares Bill Tytla's general reputation for drawing big powerful characters, though they also did small characters. Reitherman animated Jiminy Cricket for much of Pinocchio's second half.
Incidentally, Timothy shares a similar role for Dumbo as Jiminy did for Pinocchio.
