Updated: Firefighters on scene of blaze at fourth vacant home in same neighborhood
BRIDGEPORT -- What began as a string of Christmas Eve arsons in the Hollow turned into a homicide investigation after firefighters found the body of a man inside a burning home on Madison Court.
Firefighters found the body in a second-floor apartment while battling the blaze, which began just after 3 p.m. in 6 Madison Court.
The 2 1/2-story home is on a small side street off Madison Avenue, near its intersection with North Avenue and Grand Street.
The stubborn blaze was still burning at 6:15 p.m. Monday, prohibiting arson investigators and police detectives from entering the building and American Medical Response technicians from removing the body. A gurney was readied outside the home.
The police crime van also was dispatched to the scene while Public Works employees blocked Madison Avenue to through traffic between Madison Court and North Avenue.
Fire officials believe the man was living illegally in the home as a squatter.
It was one of three vacant buildings set on fire in little more than an hour and within seven blocks of each other.
At 9:34 p.m., the Bridgeport Fire Department was called back to the same area for yet another fire in a vacant house, this one on George Street. When firefighters arrived, the house, described as a 21/2-story, four-family, was fully engulfed.
With firefighters still on the scene, there was no word whether the nighttime fire might be related to the others.
The blazes occurred the same day that two firefighters were fatally shot in a suburb of Rochester, N.Y., by a man who had set a house and car on fire in his neighborhood.
In the Bridgeport fires, police are seeking a man, described as in his 50s and wearing blue clothes, who witnesses claim they saw running from a fire at 325 Center St.
The Center Street home was the second of three vacant homes set ablaze. Investigators suspect the three fires were set by the same person or people.
With so many buildings burning so close together and at the same time, firefighting help was summoned from Easton, Fairfield, Shelton, Stratford and Trumbull.
The first fire started at 1:45 p.m. in 359 Olive St., a 2 1/2-story wood-frame home. Firefighters battling that blaze received a call 13 minutes later that the 1 1/2-story home on Center was burning.
While crews were still working those two fires, a call came in at 3:06 p.m. reporting the Madison Court blaze.
"This is scary," said Crystal Pedreira, who was at the Madison Court fire and also the Center Street house. "A lot of homeless people sleep in these vacant buildings."
The houses are just blocks from each other. Angel DeJesus also saw both fires.
"Just 10 minutes after they put out Center Street, this building went up," he said of the Madison Court fire. He, too, said homeless people had been staying there.
While firefighters were attempting to extinguish the Madison Court fire, the Olive Street house went up again.
"Oh my God, this is crazy," said Jose Villafane, who lives on Coleman Street and saw the two-story Olive Street home go up twice Monday. "It's unbelievable -- on Christmas Eve yet. Thank God no one was living there."
Villafane said the owner had been fixing the home.
Bill Kaempffer, the city's police and fire spokesman, said fire officials told him they pumped "a lot of water" on the first Olive Street fire.
"They believe it wasn't a rekindle, it was a relight," he said.
Because so many Bridgeport firefighters were tied up on Center Street and with the gruesome discovery on Madison Court, Fairfield fire officials were the first to respond to the second fire at Olive Street. While they were there, the rear of the building began burning so heavily it melted siding onto adjacent homes.
If that wasn't enough, a predawn fire destroyed a one-story industrial building on Knowlton Street.
Six engine and three ladder companies responded to the 3 a.m. blaze at 33 Knowlton St., which housed a woodworking company. Although some units were recalled at 7 a.m., a number of firefighters were on the scene all day.
Investigators from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection were called to the scene.
"It's a woodworking and finishing company of some kind, so there are paints and solvents, things like that," Assistant West Side Chief Robert Morton said.
Morton said the blaze began in the basement and quickly spread, collapsing the roof.
A firefighter injured his back and was taken to Bridgeport Hospital, where he was treated and released.
The 12,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1930, is owned by S.B. Associates, city records show. One company doing business there was the Pequonnock River Woodworking Co.

NO team finished the Championship season in better form than Blackburn Rovers.
A 12-match unbeaten sequence represented their best league run since winning the Premier League in 1994-95 and ensured they came within a whisker of reaching the play-offs.
Although they ultimately fell two points short of a top-six spot, Gary Bowyer was delighted by the refuse to lose mentality his promising side developed in the run in.
It is a mentality the Rovers boss is confident will remain with them throughout the summer and into the start of the 2014-15 campaign.
And Bowyer recognises they are going to need it as he firmly believes the Championship will be tougher, more exciting and more unpredictable than ever next season.
The trio of teams relegated from the Premier League, Norwich City, Fulham and Cardiff City, will drop down with more than £60m of prize money each stuffed into their back pockets while Wolves will be eager to maintain the momentum they have generated by racing to the League One title.
Bowyer also reckons at least four of the sides who finished below Rovers will come back stronger after disappointing campaigns.
"Finishing as well as we did raises expectations and we've got to manage them," he said.
"It's a tough division. You only have to look at the fact that we finished above Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Watford, who were in the play-off final last year, and Bolton, who have good resources.
"Those four clubs are just going to get stronger and then you've got Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich coming down and Wolves coming back up.
"So it just gets tougher. But it's exciting as well. Anybody can beat anybody in the Championship and next season it's going to be even more exciting and tougher by the looks of things."
Rovers proved towards the back end of the season they have the firepower to trouble any defence in the Championship.
The Ewood Park outfit netted 31 goals in their final 12 unbeaten games and finished the campaign having scored 70 times, a figure bettered only by champions Leicester, second-placed Burnley, third-placed Derby and Watford.
The fact that Rovers conceded 62 goals was less impressive.
But earlier in the season they showed they did so they can be sound at the back with their final tally of 15 clean sheets bettered only by six sides.
Bowyer said: "It was pleasing when we had that run of clean sheets and when we were difficult to beat and resilient.
"I enjoyed that mentality that the players showed.
"Then at the back end of the season it was little bit of scoring goals at will at times as we were that creative and that exciting going forward.
"Now we must try to marry the two together a bit more next season."
Should Rovers be able to do that then a return to the top flight would not be beyond their reach.
They were given a reminder of what they were missing when they took eventual Premier League champions Manchester City to a replay in the FA Cup.
Although Rovers were ultimately well beaten 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium, Bowyer said: "Going to Manchester City in the FA Cup was a special night.
"It was a little reminder of where this club has been and where this club has got to try and get back to.
"People spoke to me about how we didn't need a replay but in my head I was delighted with one as it gave my players a taste of playing against world class players again in a fantastic venue.
"Our average age this season has been 24 and that's one of the lowest if not the lowest in the Championship.
"So the Manchester City match was a massive part of their learning development to take them to a replay was fantastic and it made them better players.
"Yes we got beat 5-0 but some of these things you have to go through and use as a motivation.
"And that will be out motivation next season.
"We're not going to stop at that and we will work even harder to try and get back to the Premier League."

Don't seek an Adrian city income tax
Don't seek an Adrian city income tax
To the editor,
I feel I must respond to the proposed tax to be imposed on income earned in the city limits.
Let me say first I am a commercial property owner, owner of two businesses within the city of Adrian and of course work at both of these businesses. I have owned and worked in the city limits for more than 20 years. I am a HUGE supporter of business, especially downtown business here in Adrian.
In those 20 years I have paid commercial property taxes to the city on the building and its property, taxes to the federal government and state on wages earned and even have to pay a personal property tax to the city of Adrian on personal property that I have in both businesses that I use to conduct business. How much MORE can we take?
Several years ago at a meeting between local business owners and city officials, they asked for ideas from us as to how to improve the city's fiscal situation. Well, I'm an idea girl and I LOVE a challenge! Within days I had several really cool programs that would have not only raised money for the city at little cost to City Hall — AND been a steady source of income for years to come — but also improved use of city-owned facilities. I emailed back and forth with excitement to help the city I love.
What happened? The idea was lost? Forgotten? Deemed undoable? I don't have the answer to that; only they do.
So when I see a tax just being pushed out as the answer to everything, it makes me wonder: Have they looked into alternative ideas? Because I'm all about bringing Adrian back to the vibrant cityscape it once was! And I am CERTAIN it can be done without throwing another tax onto the already burdened business owners and those working within the city limits! It may also may also make some who were interested in doing business within the city limits think twice abut investing in Adrian.
City Hall, please reconsider! Thank You!

Former DCHS alum helping Wildcats build athletic facilities
When Travis Goff decided to go into the business involving the background of college athletics, two things the University of Kansas graduate didn't expect was to change his clothes to purple and work for a team nicknamed the Wildcats.
That is what the former Dodge City High alumnus has found himself. Luckily for him, the team isn't 80 miles way from his alma mater; but in suburban Chicago, the home of Northwestern University of the Big 10 Conference.
"That was a little bit difficult," Goff joked about the irony of Northwestern to Jayhawk-rival Kansas State University. "From a guy who lived in Dodge City and grew up a Jayhawk fan and went to KU, it was a little bit tricky to start wearing purple for a team called the Wildcats. Now purple is my favorite color and I love Wildcats. It's funny how it all works out."
Goff is deputy director of athletics for development, in which he is working on raising money for the program like he did previously as associate athletic director/senior director of development at Tulane University. He felt one reason why Northwestern decided to hire him was his duties with the Green Wave program at a private school was a perfect fit for what the Wildcats were looking for in their new athletic position.
"At Tulane, I had the whole fundraising operation as my primary focus, but I also had marketing and ticket sales," Goff said. "This one is more focused on the fundraising and development side. It's a new position they created because (Northwestern) is about to go undergo a huge new multiple-billion dollar campaign for the entire university and athletics is going to be a big part of it. There could be more than $300 million of athletics initiatives.
"I learned at Tulane that this business is all about relationship building. If you build and establish meaningful relationships with people, then there is going to be a positive return there in multiple facets. I am an athletic fundraiser, but I have to interact with university employees with other fundraisers; so I can't alienate the law school or the med school or the engineering program because I have to work with those people."
Goff said the campaign includes a $220 million athletic facility project that will be on the shores of Lake Michigan with the new home of Wildcat athletics around the facility.Competition areas will stay where they are, but everything else involving preparing for athletic events like training, strength and conditioning, academic and athletic support and practice facilities. It will also be used as a recreational area for all Northwestern students.
"It's going to be a unique deal and critical for us for the whole student athlete experience aspect," Goff said. "All of their training and academic experience will be at one place instead of having to back and forth from the main campus to the athletic campus.
"One of the biggest aspects is recruiting. This is going to be a huge recruiting advantage because we're competing against Stanford, Michigan, Duke, et cetera. This will have an impact on the general student body, as well."
Goff said the sport most likely to be benefitted with the new facility would be the football program with an upgrade and improvement with new indoor and outdoor practice fields. He said fundraising will have to start strong before the thought of breaking ground on new facilities start.
The one regret Goff had about moving changing jobs is that he won't be involved in the final product of Tulane's $70 million athletic improvement project entitled "Home Field Advantage" with its purpose to build a new on-campus football stadium.
"Those experiences at Tulane were critical for me getting this job (with Northwestern)," Goff said. "I did a lot of the same things down there that I will do at Northwestern. It is bittersweet because "Home Field" was a fun project to be involved with and I was working hard on that program.
"Part of me was thinking I would stay there and see the new facility open; but this opportunity at Northwestern was one in a million. It was a perfect fit in every way: the job, the title, the timing of it. More than anything, I really love the Northwestern concept and I feel it is positioned, when you think about academics plus big-time athletics, in the Midwest is the best combination as any place out there."

The Missouri Tigers men's basketball team played their most complete game of basketball in several weeks and possibly the entire year as they easily defeated Ole Miss on Saturday at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. The Tigers controlled the game from the opening tip and were never really threatened or challenged at any point during the game. The same team that was totally dominated by Ole Miss in their first meeting returned the favor in the rematch. Phil Pressey played by far his best game in many weeks and he was totally in the game from start to finish and it was a complete effort all the way around. Missouri is still looking for its first road win in the SEC and their next chance for that will be Wednesday night as they travel to Mississippi State.
Both Truman State basketball teams wrapped up what turned out to be a rather unpleasant road trip by losing both games at Northeastern Oklahoma this past Saturday. The men were once again in the game until the very end when a strange set of circumstances led to Northeastern Oklahoma being able to complete a four point play that sealed the game for them. Once again the Bulldogs did everything but win. The women struggled offensively against a very game Northeastern OK team that did a good job of stiffening the Bulldogs offense. Both teams are in action again on Thursday night at home against Southwest Baptist who they just played two weeks ago.
Congratulations to the Kirksville High School wrestling team on their outsanding showing at districts over the weekend. The team now heads to the state tournament which starts on Thursday in Columbia. Kirksville has to be considered one of the favorites for the team title once again.
The KHS basketball teams split their double header with Mexico last Friday night with the girls improving to 10 and 0 in conference play with a hard fought victory while the boys lost to a very talented Mexico squad. The atmosphere at the Kirksville Primary School was outstanding Friday night and it was a joy to be part of it. Both teams are back in action on Tuesday with the boys having a home game against Fulton while the girls travel to Fulton.
Never mind what the groundhog says the real sign for me that spring is on its way is when pitchers and catchers report to spring training which is happening right now. The first full scale work out for pitchers and catchers for the St. Louis Cardinals is on Tuesday with the rest of the position players due to report later this week.
We'll be back on Wednesday with our usual mid week blog where we will try to get caught up on a few things we've missed over the past week or so. Please support all the blogs on this site and thank you so much for taking the time to read this one.
Have a terrific Monday!

The Bible as Truth?
If a truth is real, shouldn't it be able to be verified? Once a truth is verified shouldn't it become a fact? Once a fact is verified as the truth, shouldn't it stand up to scrutiny and always be found to be true?
If we can't verify a fact, should it be a truth? If we can't verify a truth can it really be considered a truth?
(I am updating this article with new links and references as they come to mind.)

In my post on the bible as a faulty premise I showed that the bible does not appear to be the product of one mind, a Gods mind, and there is no corroboration for it, therefore its claim to be 'god breathed' is likely to not be valid. Its validity is based on circular reasoning. What is circular reasoning and why is it important with reference to the Bible? In laymans terms circular reasoning is when you state your claim and then, usually after rewording it, you state it again as your reason for your claim.
Here is a link to Wikipedia that explains it and I have also provided some analogies to help explain it which follow.
- Tom says he doesn't lie, therefore he doesn't.
- The company that makes motor oil says theirs is better than all the rest.
- A childs parents tell them not to do something because they said so.
- God exists because the Bible says he does and the Bible is the word of God.
- The Quran is a revelation from God because it says it is.
- Formula one auto racing is the best kind of racing because they go faster and use complicated tracks, and any race that goes faster and is more complicated must be the best.
- A Pharmaceutical company says their drug will help this or that and is safe.
Hopefully these analogies will show why it is important not to overlook the fact that a thing should not be considered valid until there is some other way to measure it or validate it.
Circular reasoning is not an acceptable kind of reasoning in our day to day life. When we submit a resume, the employer always asks for more than one reference. In courts, people are not convicted on the testimony of one individual. We tell our kids not to talk to strangers, or get in the car with strangers. Should we tell them that the exception to the 'stranger' rule is when they find one that says they are honest?
If we accept the concept of circular reasoning as valid reasoning, we open ourselves up to all kinds of fraud. In fact billions of dollars are spent every year in law, medicine and insurance because circular reasoning is not a practical type of reasoning for ensuring fair and equitable circumstances for a population.
So if we shouldn't accept the Bibles claims simply because it claims them, maybe we should find out where it came from. If it is the truth it should be verifiable and stand up to scrutiny.
What else could corroborate the bible?
Archeology, Anthropology, Textual Criticism, Biblical Criticism.
I recommend some impartial university courses on Comparative Religions and Ancient Civilizations concentrating on Near Easter Civilizations and I urge people to give a serious look at their mythology.
There is good reason to believe that the Tanakh (The Old Testament) has roots in Near Eastern Mythology. Here is a website from a scholarly author that talks about his research and his books. He is one of many since the 15th century that have observed this phenomena.
Here are some links to information (from Wikipedia) about that time period. They are not intended to prove anything but are intended to be a quick reference for a better understanding of the Bible.

Validity of David and Solomon, interview with archaeologist/author Neil Asher Silberman
Excerpt from Biblical Archeology Review with Israel Finkelstein from MSN Groups
Alan Dundes, a famous Folklorist, says that academics are at risk for questioning the traditional understanding of the bible. "It turns out that studying the content of the Bible could prove to be a risky proposition, definitely dangerous to ones health or professional standing"(Dundes, 20). He goes on to cite some cases. His Book "Holy Writ as Oral Lit: The Bible as Folklore" was published at the end of his career and a few years before his death. There is significant pressure in academia not to criticize the Bible. This is not the case in other fields of study. In other fields of study, criticism is expected and necessary to weed out the ideas that don't work from the ideas that do.

Dark Knight, The (UK - BD)
BAM! KAPOW! Our Marcus hasn't had this much of a Bat-fever since 1989...
There's a new hero in Gotham city and his name is district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). He's taking the fight directly to the dark mob underbelly of Gotham and he seems to be winning. The public love him for what he's achieving and one Gothamite in particular has great faith that Dent is the public hero Gotham needs.
Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), the now fully up and running Batman, finally sees an end in sight. Dent could actually achieve what Batman had dedicated his life to and Gotham could finally be a better place, but there's a still one card to be played in this struggle and that card has a clown on it.
The anarchic Joker has hit Gotham and hit it hard and now he's offering the Mob the ultimate prize—to kill the Batman. However, the Joker has a far bigger plan in store for Gotham and it's going to push everyone to their absolute limits.
There hasn't been this much of a Bat-frenzy since 1989. Seriously, the buzz for The Dark Knight was legendary. From the moment Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) passed Batman that Joker card at the end of Batman Begins it seems like we were just waiting for this movie to hit. Waiting for a confirmation that the Joker would be involved, remaining steady through the list of names attached to play the greatest villain of all time, not being 100% sure that Heath Ledger was right when he was confirmed, getting giddy over the many fake images that hit the web once filming got underway and then getting the rumbles that Harvey Dent's twisted alter ego would be along for the ride as well. The trailers were absolutely classic with their 'every line is a classic line' approach and strangely this was a movie that somehow had not only the diehard Bat-fans following but the casual cinema goer as well.
I fall happily into the Bat-fan camp. Jumping back to 1989, Bat-mania had taken a hold of the world and on a more personal note, I'd have to cite Tim Burton's Batman as the movie that really started my love of film. Of course, I was a big movie watcher before then, but the timing of Batman couldn't have been better. I was eleven and my Dad took me to the cinema for the new Batman movie, knowing that all kids like Batman, though at the time my only real points of reference were the Adam West 60s TV show and a small splattering of comic books. It was sick-exciting sitting in that screening as I watched this dark figure going after the criminals, sitting in awe of his cool car and watching his bat-wing fly up to the moon to create a bat symbol and watching the Joker having fun while he tussled in his purple suits. I had been hit with the movie bug in a big way. I went back and saw Batman on the big screen a multitude of times and that was it, I was hooked. So in many ways, Batman can be considered a huge part in what I love about big event movies.
In 1992, we got the first of the Bat-sequels, this time bringing along Catwoman and the Penguin. I know this was considered quite the flop, but I love Batman Returns. It's beautifully dark and the Christmas setting gives it that extra fairytale feel. I still think Batman looks his best in this instalment with the suit being pretty close to perfect for my tastes, and there's just something about Keaton's presence as the Batman that feels right to me. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed, but whoever was soon forgot about their issues when Batman Forever and Batman and Robin arrived.
Batman Forever is a horrible movie and I know I'm probably bucking popular opinion, but I think it's even worse than Batman and Robin. Seriously, at least Batman and Robin has Arnie in it, who manages to transcend badness into classic goofiness. Forever is just dull. It plods along lazily with its neon lights and just feels so un-engaging. Whoever cast a grown man as Robin shouldn't be allowed to watch any more Batman movies and whoever came up with that silver Batsuit or the completely OTT Riddler lair should be... I'll leave it there. This list of WTFs could go on forever, for both of these movies. A Bat-credit card??? Who is that even charged to?
So yeah, the Batman movie franchise was left for dead. But it was still alive and well on our small screens—thriving in fact, in the form of the Batman animated series. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's an absolute masterpiece within the Batman history on screen. Bruce Timm and Co. took our caped crusader and somehow managed to get him pretty close to perfect, despite the kid friendly arena it was intended for. This Batman evolved over the animated series, through Batman Beyond and right up to Justice League Unlimited into something that really should be considered a blueprint for all future Batman attempts. This was the first time that Batman really felt lived-in as a character on the screen, every angle explored, and every relationship with the characters around him used to make Batman an even stronger character. Outside of the comics, this really is what I consider to be the perfect Batman and I can't praise these animated projects enough.
So then came 2005's Batman Begins, which read like the perfect shopping list when all the details came out. Warner Bros. had seen sense and were taking Batman down the darker, grittier route again. They got Christopher Nolan to direct and opted to develop Batman from the ground up, giving us an origin story that went beyond just seeing the murder of Bruce's parents and actually delving into Bruce's life after this life-changing tragedy showing us how he trained his body, mind and more so how he reached the decision to use the image of the bat to strike fear into the hearts of criminals. Christian Bale was now in the cape and cowl and the fans took him to their hearts immediately, Begins struck the right cord with cinema go-ers and our new Bat-franchise was off and running. Now don't get me wrong, I liked Batman Begins, I really did, but I didn't fall in love with it like many did. The darkness was a welcome return. Bruce Wayne's drive was up on the screen to see and to use the charismatic Qui Gon Jinn lectures of Liam Neeson as Ra's ah Ghu training Bruce, along with the Scarecrow doing what he does best on film was superb, but somewhere around the midway point I really zone out and everything all becomes a little obvious for me.
The biggest of the few niggling issues I have with Begins is that the Batman I know and love wouldn't let a villain die under any circumstances within his control, but any and all of the issues I have can be forgiven, or indeed forgotten after that closing scene. That ending is the finest moment of any Batman movie ever. It's so good in fact, it almost completely threw my mind forward to what's to come, rather than what I'd just seen. There's something about it that makes me forget Begins as something that's passed and it immediately made me want to leap forward to a fully functioning Batman rather than revisit how we got to this point. It's a hell of a movie promise of things to come but with this entire history of Batman on film behind it could The Dark Knight possibly live up to expectations.
It's 2008. We had seen the collapse of the Spider-Man franchise the year before, despite it promising massive things and the beginning of the New Year had delivered comic book movies with a stronger presence than ever. We had the surprisingly huge hit that was Iron Man, the reboot of The Incredible Hulk, the unleashed Guillermo del Toro Hellboy sequel, (though this came after The Dark Knight for some countries) and it was all beginning to look pretty special. So the big day came, 24th July 2008. I sacrificed going to the midnight screening so I could take my bat-lovin-daughter to see her very first Batman movie on the big screen (seemed like a good tradition to pass on) at the first 'regular' screening on opening day.
From those opening scenes with the continually exciting bank robbery you know this is a Batman movie like none before it. Begins had touches of being in a real city but never on this scale. Gotham is suddenly real but even more exciting—it's every bit the perfect introduction to the Joker. It's chaotic, its genius and it's just damn exciting. Even watching it again on Blu-ray, the sense of momentum and sheer presence this character has is every bit the introduction the Joker deserves and the score backs him up. It's absolutely the perfect piece of music to capture what the Joker is. Batman also gets a fantastic introduction with a real sense that he's a totally up and running now. The cameo of the scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) being a genius way of getting the message across. This is Batman's day to day. This is Gotham's current state of affairs. This is Batman doing his job. That is until things change...
How Nolan takes all of the elements we know and love about the franchise and grounds them in reality, without losing the comic book nature of the source material, is actually close to genius and to be honest probably wouldn't have even been possible to get us to this point without the previous Batman films and incarnations. Nolan grasps that Batman is an icon and uses it expertly in playing with the many themes he takes on. He somehow manages to keep the audience in the dark at almost every turn with every carpet that's pulled out beneath you and the Jokers game becomes as surprising to you as it is to the characters that have to deal with the outcome and what's even more impressive is that he never takes it too far into ropey thriller territory. This is a plot that has been thought out a lot and executed with a steady hand.
Many have compared The Dark Knight to Heat, which is a fair comparison. It's a huge epic tale, dealing in crime, law and the classic good guy after bad guy scenario. Heat has De Niro and Pacino sure but what it doesn't have is Batman and the Joker. De Niro and Pacino may very well be the finest actors of our time and seeing them together was exciting as all hell, but Batman and Joker are to many, the ultimate good vs. evil partnership. Everyone knows this relationship on some level and everyone knows Batman isn't up against any old face in his vast rogues gallery when the clown comes to town. Joker is the real deal and once again Nolan hasn't let this go unnoticed. Somehow Nolan and Ledger got this relationship pretty close to perfect. No better scene showcases this than the interrogation room scene. Not only does it start perfectly, with a classic Batman entrance, but it just pays out like a dream come true. All of the dialogue feels true to the long history between these characters. The idea that these two characters have to co-exist and how they're are part of the same problem, is absolutely spot on and by far my favourite scene in the movie.
The more I watch Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight, the more impressed I become. He's lost in that character. Every movement feels as if it's making the character more than could be without this much dedication. Every twist on a line, or emphasis on a word, every story he tells of his origin, every look on his face coming beneath the layers of grimy make up. I never thought I'd say this (and I often pinned my hopes for the movie on this very performance in the long build up to its release), but somehow Heath Ledger is the Joker in every way I'd hoped for. Even writing that down seems like the craziest thing ever, considering the Jokers of the past, written, drawn or acted, but watching this again and really taking the opportunity to sit back and just watch the performance in the comfort of my own home, I just can't help but come to that Bat-fan's dream conclusion. With so many great moments to choose from, it's hard to pinpoint just the one, but I'd have to go with the scene with him hanging out of a police car shaking his head in the wind. It's a quiet moment with a lot building up to it but his presence on screen just seems to capture the Joker's insanity perfectly and always strikes me on every viewing. It's just a damn shame that Ledger's early death has prevented him from taking this now-classic performance even further in future instalments.
That said, Heath shouldn't get all the praise. I'm still not sold on Bale's Batman, mainly due to the over use of his 'big gravelly bat-voice' but his performance was solid one and he's a great Bruce Wayne, even if it's not an entirely impressive Batman. Michael Caine has less to do this time out, but makes the Alfred role special, Aaron Eckhart's Harvey works very well, but his alter ego didn't quite get fleshed out how it really deserved but for me, and largely overlooked in all the Joker talk over the summer was Gary Oldman's development of Jim Gordon. He does some incredible work here, not only capturing the attitude of a character that's been deserving this amount of spotlight for quite some time but making him every bit as important to the struggles in Gotham as Batman. I can't wait for the next instalment when he's Commissioner.
I could go on but I've probably done that too much already. The Dark Knight is probably more impressive than I was even hoping for and watching it again has happily confirmed it wasn't just the giddy excitement of seeing a good, involving, pitch-perfect Bat movie on the big screen. I still have some minor issues with some elements, but they are so small they're forgettable and I still don't think it knocks Batman Returns off of my top spot of Bat-movies, mainly due to the fact that for all of this realism, something simply 'comic book' is lost in there somewhere, but I confess a re-watch is probably in order to confirm this me. With all that said, The Dark Knight did something special this year. It took Batman ahead of the game again. The Dark Knight wasn't just another superhero movie. The Dark Knight transcended those restraints and became a franchise that can sit comfortably in the 'proper' movie pantheon of greatness and made all the other superhero movies to date look a little generic. After many years of being a summer event, Christopher Nolan just made Batman and all of Gotham's citizens proper movie stars, and come award season, it'll be interesting to see who else acknowledges that.
Well to get straight to the big talking point, a little while back it was announced that The Dark Knight would come with the IMAX scenes in their intended ratios. This caused a bit of a stir because who wants to watch a movie where the ratio keeps popping? Well let me start by saying, I was one of the people who wasn't looking forward to this at all. I can get distracted at the smallest of things happening on my screen and I didn't want to be forced out of the enjoyment of a movie with something that seemed like a weird idea, especially to those people who probably aren't even aware of what IMAX is.
Thankfully, despite the image changing from a 2.40:1 to a 16:9 in a blink of an eye a number of times, I have to say it's not jarring at all. This is handled with care and even in scenes where it hops back and forth a number of times, it still didn't register too much and felt seamless.
It helps that the IMAX shots look absolutely beautiful. Mostly consisting of large cityscapes, they just glow with natural lighting and masses of detail. Colours are rich and every single time you see them, it really shows off a fine transfer. Other impressive shots include Wayne's Lamborghini tearing down the Gotham streets, the sun reflecting off of it and the reflections travelling along its body look absolutely stellar. All in all this was a decision that paid off.
As for the rest of the movie, this is still a very solid transfer, though the naturalness of the IMAX shots is lost with some very stylized movie lighting and colouring. The movie flicks between dark blues, heavy greens and occasionally strong warm oranges. This can make skin tones look very unnatural and sometimes makes the image feel a little less detailed than it deserves. This is obviously a style choice and is there to give the movie a tone or feel, so it's easily forgiven, and when the scenes have a solid source of natural light all of this looks far more impressive. I especially liked seeing some of the richer colours that I'd missed in the cinema. The purple of the Joker's pieces of string or the feel for the fabric of his suits as well as the Bat costume looking fantastic under brightly lit sets. This all really show off the greatness of HD transfers.
It has to be said that there was a slight presence of edge halos in some scenes. Nothing on the scale of older DVDs, but it's still there and it really prevents the presentation from being considered a show off disc as many predicted it would be.
For The Dark Knight to really excel, you need to have it loud—all of the time. Unfortunately on a comfortable level the subtle use of some of the musical cues, mainly the creeping Joker music, can feel a little lost in the mix and the balance between dialogue and score can feel a little uneven, and so I found myself constantly adjusting the volume levels on one of my viewings.
However, when listening to it loud in a full cinematic experience I found the mix to be very powerful and it uses all of the surrounds effectively. The blast of shot guns, the smashing of windows and the echo of the Jokers laugh all sound pretty amazing and strong. The dialogue remains in the front and mostly the centre speakers but still sounds clear and works for the many conversations in the movie and all in all, whilst this isn't the most impressive mix I've heard, it does all it needs to do in order to impress.
Disc one comes with a vast selection of 'Focus Points' that are split down and accessible whilst watching the movie. They total sixty-four minutes in length and cover a lot of stunt work, a very interesting look at the IMAX scenes as well as a look at the work that went into the absolutely blinding Joker score. This runs almost like a director and crew commentary intercut with footage and images from the shoot and was pacey enough never to get too bogged down in detail.
Moving onto disc two, there are a couple of made-for-TV specials, which I think aired on US TV last year. 'Bat Tech' (45:59) is a look at the bat gadgets over the years, from ludicrous to classic and many are shown in relation to real world designs and technology. The second is 'Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight' (46:02) which goes into the elements of Batman that come from classic literature or have evolved over the years. Both are totally watchable but are fluff pieces at best.
Rounding off the features, are the six episodes of Gotham Tonight that were used as viral internet marketing in the build up to the film and a whole host of galleries (Joker Cards, Concept Art, Poster Art, Production Stills) and of course the superb trailer campaign that ran, which includes the three trailers as well as six TV spots.
I really enjoyed all of disc one, but it has to be said that I was a little let down with disc two. Where are the cast interviews? Where's the Heath Ledger as the Joker documentary? Why no lengthy documentaries on the history of the Joker and Two Face, or even a featurette on the successful and many viral campaigns that kept the hype for The Dark Knight going for so long in the build up to its release? This second disc feels like tacked on filler in all honesty and they may as well have chucked on an advert for the next edition as it feels more than inevitable at this stage.
Maybe not the set that I'd hoped for overall, but still good enough before the eventual double dip that's bound to arrive further down the line.
Batman still proves that he's not only the best character in comic books but the best one on film too. The Dark Knight did exactly what we all thought it would and blew a huge bat-sized hole in this year big releases. I'm glad to say that unless there's a real curve-ball of a movie between now and December 31st 2008, I once again have a superhero movie at the top of my year's best movies and that hasn't happened since 1989.
Now let's just hope Watchmen makes it a double next year...

Blue Devils Fall to No. 5 Loyola
March 9, 2014
BALTIMORE, Md.—Loyola's Matt Sawyer and Nikko Pontrello combined for 11 goals to lead the fifth-ranked Greyhounds to a 14-7 victory over No. 4 Duke this evening at Ridley Athletic Complex. Christian Walsh led the Blue Devils with two tallies.
Loyola improves to 5-1 overall, while Duke drops to 4-2 on the year with both losses coming to top-five opponents.
"First off we'd like to congratulate Loyola University and Coach Toomey and his staff," said head coach John Danowski. "It was a great coaching job. I thought their kids shot the ball terrifically and they played very very well. So we tip our caps to Loyola and we move on. We move on and look forward to playing Marquette Tuesday night."
Similar to the game eight days ago at Maryland, Duke traded goals with Loyola in an opening quarter that featured two lead changes and three ties. A Jordan Wolf goal put the Blue Devils up 4-3 after 15 minutes, but it was all
Greyhounds in the next quarter as they ran off five unanswered and six of the next seven for an 8-5 lead at halftime.
Loyola held Duke without a goal for 16:08 before Walsh notched his second of the evening to make it 8-5. Matt Sawyer threw in three scores for the Greyhounds during the run and posted four overall in the opening half. Overall, Sawyer and Pontrello combined for six of the Greyhounds' eight tallies before halftime.
The Greyhounds added two more in the third quarter before Duke sophomore Deemer Class put the Blue Devils on the board to make it 10-6. Duke's defense stifled the Greyhound attack in the final eight minutes of the third, but was unable to get any closer than four.
With plenty of time for Duke to rally from a four-goal deficit, Loyola quickly made life much more difficult for the Blue Devils with a pair of scores in the first 1:52 for a 13-6 advantage.
Myles Jones stopped Duke's 11-minute scoreless stretch at the 8:11 mark of the fourth, but the seven-goal deficit was too much to overcome for the Blue Devils.
Sophomore Luke Aaron and Kyle Turri shared time in goal. Turri had five saves in 15 minutes of action, while Aaron finished with three saves in the loss. Loyola senior Jack Runkel finished with nine saves in 60 minutes.
Loyola outshot Duke 39-31 and held a 35-34 edge in ground balls. Brendan Fowler won 13-of-23 restarts and picked up seven ground balls. Casey Carroll led the defensive effort with two caused turnovers and three ground balls.
The Blue Devils take a day off before playing Marquette March 11 at 7 p.m. Duke hosts ACC rival North Carolina March 15 at 2 p.m., on ESPNU.

Campus Watch demands academic integrity in North American Middle East studies (MES) programs. It reviews and critiques MES bias with the aim of improving education – keeping watch on scores of professors at hundreds of universities. Our campus networks, research specialists and advocates confront the anti-Western politicization of scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, and apologetics for Islamism. Campus Watch respects free speech for all – but insists upon reciprocity.
Impact: Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution – "Campus Watch sheds light on often volatile and intemperate proclamations." New York Times – Campus Watch monitoring is responsible for "damaging open inquiry and expression." Ruth Wisse, Harvard – "[MES] benefit[s] from the presence of Campus Watch."

Danielpipes.org is one of the most accessed sources of specialized information on the Middle East and Muslim history, with over 69 million page views. Daniel Pipes is founder and president of the Middle East Forum – he has served in five presidential administrations and authored sixteen books on the Middle East, Islamism and related topics. The site offers an archive of his writings, along with video and audio of his latest media appearances, and translations of his works in 38 languages.
Impact: Washington Post – Daniel Pipes is "perhaps the most prominent U.S. scholar on radical Islam." New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof – called Mr. Pipes a "smart conservative," two days after Mr. Kristof endorsed the Southern Poverty Law Center, which lists Mr. Pipes as an "anti-Muslim extremist."

Islamist Watch unveils and combats internal Islamist forces that exploit the freedoms of Western democracy to undermine from within. Lawful Islamists – in the media, courts, schools, public squares, and ballot boxes – seek the spread of Shari'a as governing law, although it is incompatible with Western democracy. Islamist Watch aims to make Islamists in suits and ties no more acceptable than ones wearing suicide vests – by countering corporate and governmental support, tracking tainted campaign contributions, and enhancing the presence and influence of anti-Islamist Muslims.
Impact: Donald Trump – "Hillary Clinton tops Middle East Forum's 'Islamist Money List.'" Keith Ellison – withdrew from the Islamist MAS-ICNA annual convention, after Islamist Watch publicized the extremism of fellow participants.

The Israel Victory Project steers U.S. policy toward backing an Israel victory over the Palestinians to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict. Decades of what insiders call "peace processing" have left matters worse than when they started. The time has come for a new approach, a complete re-thinking of the problem that draws on Israel's earlier and successful strategy of deterrence. Stop pressuring Jerusalem to compromise and make "painful concessions." Instead, support Israeli victory, convincing Palestinians and others that the Jewish state will endure.
Impact: Launched the bipartisan Congressional Israel Victory Caucus (CIVC) and the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus (KIVC), with 32 and 26 members respectively; influenced President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and order the U.S. embassy moved there (according to The Guardian, Al-Monitor, and NPR).
Jihad Intel provides local law enforcement with tools to detect and prevent Islamist terrorism. At the behest of Islamists and leftists, references to Islam have been removed from law enforcement and national security training materials. Law enforcement needs to know what to look for while searching apartments, cars, computer hard-drives and personal effects of prisoners. Jihad Intel's gratis database provides them with background, image identifiers and intelligence for over 150 Islamic terror groups, including 87 image identifiers for ISIS.
Impact: Jihad Intel research fellow Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi – quoted 242 times in the media over the last year, including in the New York Times, the Jerusalem Post and the Los Angeles Times, and on CNN.
The Legal Project protects the public discussion of Islam and related topics – if Islamism can not be discussed, it can not be reformed. The project provides a lifeline to the growing number of individuals whose livelihood and freedom are threatened by predatory Islamist lawsuits and malign government policies. It maintains a legal defense fund and a database of pro-bono/reduced-rate attorneys; raises public awareness of the issue; and educates policy-makers on how they can protect this vital speech.
Impact: Djemila Benhabib, author – "From now on freedom of expression will be better off in our democratic society. In helping me, the Middle East Forum's Legal Project has played such an important part in that matter."
The Washington Project works to translate the Forum's ideas into U.S. policy. It identifies American interests toward the Middle East, Israel and Islamism, and influences policy-makers through intensive educational efforts in the capital. The project currently focuses on reforming UNRWA by re-defining a "Palestine refugee"; designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization; and finding support for an Israel victory over the Palestinians.
Impact: Held 157 separate meetings in the last year with members of Congress of their staff – impacting UNRWA's policies, countering Muslim Brotherhood infiltration, and helping to prevent unilateral Palestinian statehood in Obama's final days.
The Forum sponsors webinars, in-person briefings, and conference calls featuring its staff and fellows, former government officials, scholars, journalists, and others with insights into the Middle East and Islamism. Speakers delve deep into critical issues, surpassing what is found in mass media – and always with an eye toward American interests. Most briefings occur along the New York-Philadelphia-Washington, D.C. corridor.
The Education Fund is a project of the Forum established in 2008 that disburses about $2 million annually in separately earmarked funds to researchers, writers, anti-Islamist Muslims, investigators and activists who work to further the Forum's mission – promoting American interests in the Middle East and protecting Western values from Middle Eastern threats.
Funds go to some 80 recipients, individuals and organization alike, in the United States and around the world, including: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. Some of their efforts are kept confidential to prevent their being exposed to danger.
The Forum supplements its writings with in-depth webinars, briefings and conference calls. Non-partisan specialists take on the Middle East's most controversial and difficult issues with an eye toward American interests – questioning assumptions, provoking thought, and offering new solutions.
The Forum's activism gets things done – in Congress, on campus, in court, in corporate boardrooms, and beyond. Forum activists have held 157 meetings with members of Congress or their staff, impacting UNRWA's policies and Muslim Brotherhood infiltration, and promoting Israel victory. It has also won legal victories over Islamists; exposed Islamist-tainted politicians; persuaded corporations to end funding of Islamist groups; and uncovered San Francisco State University's malign relationship with a Hamas-linked West Bank university.
Middle East Forum activists launch public campaigns to expose, embarrass and pressure Islamist-tainted politicians and corporations, and biased educational institutions, after friendly educational entreaties are refused.
Impact: We were twice attacked by one of the world's largest charities after we launched a campaign against the Silicon Valley Community Foundation to stop its donations to Islamist groups. Our evidence shows SVCF supporting organizations that "regularly give platforms to speakers who incite hatred against women, Jews, Christians, and the LGBTQ community."
The Forum Blog brings experts together, virtually, at one convenient blog-like site – a daily must-read for folks seriously interested in the Middle East, and the go-to gathering place when major events occur. A diverse range of specialists participate as members. They review, analyze and debate a wide array of issues, from major regional developments to boutique issues. Entries are short, interesting and controversial, educating policy-makers and the general public.

ROCKFORD — The past six years, Terry and Alex Broadhurst generally would only see each other at Christmas during hockey season.
Now, not only are they on the same team for the first time, they are on the same line. They, and their family, are excited about that.
"To see each other every day is nice," said Terry, the older at 24. "Family and friends get a kick out of it, and it cuts down on the travel for them, that's for sure."
Instead of commuting from the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn to Rockford or Toledo the past two seasons to see Terry play with the IceHogs or Walleye, and to London, Ontario, or Green Bay, Wis., the past three years to watch Alex, 20, they can all load up for one trip. There were Broadhursts and friends all over the hallway outside the team's locker room after Sunday's 4-2 win over Texas.
And it was Alex whom they cheered on big-time as he provided two big plays. He scored unassisted to tie the game, then fed Klas Dahlbeck for an empty-netter to clinch it.
Alex is second on the 'Hogs with nine points (three goals, six assists); Terry is fifth with seven (three goals, four assists), as Rockford is 7-2-1-0 heading into Thursday's home game against Charlotte.
"It's a dream come true," Alex said of finally being teammates and linemates. "We play really good together, we're playing well and hopefully we can keep it going."
A preview came when the Broadhursts performed on the same line in part of the Chicago Blackhawks' summer training camp in London.
"We did well there, so we knew that could be a possibility they would throw us together," Terry said. "It's fun right now that we are playing together. We have good chemistry, and Alex and Ross are two good players and we all can skate well, so it's a good line right now."
Rockford head coach Ted Dent combined them basically out of necessity, with centers Brad Mills and Brandon Pirri being called up to Chicago.
"That opened a void at center, and we have three or four other guys who have played center in the past," Dent said. "So we put Alex there and put him with Terry to see if there is some chemistry, and see if they can jell and think along the same lines."
Terry said they both bring offense, and both need to continue to get better defensively.
"Making plays down low, taking pucks to the net and creating scoring chances, I think that's what we bring to that line," he said.
Alex says they are "different players."
"I'm more of a playmaker, and he has more speed going wide and to the net," he said. "When I get the puck in the middle, he's always going wide so I can find him there.
"We both like to play low and cycle the puck, so we're always in the spot we know we're going to be, so that's good."

Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.

LONDON — The most widely anticipated pregnancy since Princess Diana's in 1981 is official: Prince William's wife, Kate, is pregnant.
St. James's Palace announced the pregnancy Monday, saying that the Duchess of Cambridge — formerly known as Kate Middleton — has a severe form of morning sickness and is in a London hospital. William is at his wife's side.
News of the pregnancy drew congratulations from across the world, with the hashtag "royalbaby" trending globally on Twitter.
The couple's first child will be third in line to take the throne — leapfrogging the gregarious Prince Harry and possibly setting up the first scenario in which a U.K. female heir could benefit from new gender rules about succession.
The palace would not say how far along the 30-year-old duchess is, only that she has not yet reached the 12-week mark.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!
