Kasey Anderson at Shenanigan's
Kasey Anderson said the goal of his latest album, "The Reckoning," released on Sept. 11, was to "create characters that would resonate, clearly conveying the hope, rage and fear that [I] saw in the lives of so many, regardless of culture or geography." It's a lofty claim for the third release of an Oregon-based alt-country folk rocker, but Anderson might just have the goods to deliver. Anderson has left behind much of the melancholy folk of his last album in favor of a twangier rock sound reminiscent of John Mellencamp. Anderson's tour brings him to Shenanigans Eatery and Pub on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 8 p.m. 264-5010. -Olivia Beatty
Hudost and Rattlemouth at The Camel
Inspired by Rumi, the Sufi poet of love, HuDost's music is an "alternative-world rock, country and eastern fusion." The band's core is made up of singer-songwriter duo Moksha Sommer on voice and harmonium and Jemal Wade Hines on voice, guitars, bazouki and bendir. For live performances, the two are joined by four other performers who add flute, bass and percussion to the mix. The Montreal/New York based HuDost casts a wide net of musical influences- from Bulgarian and Balkan to Farsi, Turkish and Arabic. The group adds elements of folk, pop, rock and gospel to the traditional world music. Opening for HuDost is local world music favorite Rattlemouth. The sax, drums, bass and guitar outfit bring their own original musical sensibilities to African and Lebanese arrangements. The result is an energetic and exotic sound that moves you to the dance floor. Catch the double dose of world fusion fun at The Camel, Saturday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. $9-$12.— O.B.
Megadeth won't die
After nearly 25 years and six lineup changes, Dave Mustaine has been the driving force behind the band and the only remaining original member. The new Megadeth album, "United Abominations," makes a heroic, if possibly misguided, attempt at political and social commentary. With song titles like "Amerikhastan" and "Washington Is Next!" it makes you wish Mustaine would enunciate his lyrics so people might actually understand the statement he's trying to make. Metal-heads fear not, the band has not abandoned its red-hot riffs and classic metal stylings. Megadeth plays Toad's Place Monday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m. with In This Moment and The Confession. $37.50-$40. Call (800) 514-3849 or visit www.toadsplacerva.com. -O.B.
Bird has layover at Toad's Place
Despite receiving Suzuki training at a young age, Andrew Bird opted to play his violin in a not-exactly-classical manner and accompany himself on glockenspiel and guitar. He then proceeded to add singing, whistling and songwriting to his repertoire, truly solidifying his multitalented, multi-instrumentalist status. Bird, with the various incarnations of his backup musicians, has released an astonishing 10 albums in the past 10 years. His latest, "Armchair Apocrypha," came out in March. The Chicagoan's breathy, lilting voice softly projects beautiful prose over lush layers of multi-instrumental harmonies — think toned-down Arcade Fire. Bird and his current band will perform at Toad's Place Sunday, Sept. 30, at 8 p.m. $20-$22. Call (800) 514-3849 or visit www.toadsplacerva.com. — O.B.
Josh Turner goes to the fair
Josh Turner looks like an extra from "Lost," but when he opens his mouth, it's clear the 29-year-old was born to sing. Sounding a little like a countrified version of Isaac Hayes, the baritone-voiced Grammy nominee definitely knows how to croon with the best of them. While keeping the standby country instrumentation close at hand, Turner goes straight for seduction with his lyrics rather than relying on sweet, longing ballads. One gets the feeling that some of Turner's songs would be right at home on either K95 or KISS FM. Surprisingly, the unexpected soulful sounds that flow throughout Turner's music feel completely natural, even when it's decked out in boots and a cowboy hat rather than a polyester shirt and gold chains. Josh Turner will be playing at the Classic Amphitheater on Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. $20. For more information, call 345-7223 or visit www.richmondracewaycomplex.com.— Colby Rogers
How to play mind games and win
Described as an "extraordinist," Craig Karges' performances blend psychology, humor and mystery. From flying tables to linking rings and reading minds, Karges keeps audiences mystified and enthralled. The performer insists he is not a psychic or a magician, but an entertainer. He's appeared on many TV talk shows and performs at theaters and colleges across the country. Karges brings his own special blend of mental sorcery to the University of Richmond Tyler Haynes Commons Friday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. Free. 289-8980. — O.B.
Titans in Training
Right now, Alexandria's T.J. Williams High School is known as that high school from "Remember the Titans." But it's only a matter of time before it becomes that high school where the band Virginia Coalition got started — oh yeah, and something about Denzel Washington. Virginia Coalition (VACO for short) covers the spectrum from bluegrass to hip-hop, centering on rock. The band's released seven albums, most recently a two-disk set of tracks recorded at the 9:30 Club. VACO performs Thursday, Sept. 27, for Swingin' on the Tracks at the Science Museum of Virginia, with openers Watson and Calhoun. Gates at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $12-$45. Call 794-6700 or visit www.swinginonthetracks.com — Sarah Mogin
Jackass Flats go to church
Jackass Flats got its start in Richmond and has been kicking around the east coast for seven years now. Their style should be familiar to anyone who has spent any time within 100 miles of the Appalachian Mountains - clean, easy, backwood bluegrass mixed with the band's own brand of topical lyrics. Their last CD, Purgatory Mountain is a refreshing blend of musical cues including some jazz and reggae music, and was met with much critical praise when it was released in 2005. The band's show at the Church of the Holy Comforter on Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m., is free. 355-3251 or visit www.jackass-flats.com.— C.R.

Dead.... and loving it
By Derek Farrell
I've been raving about Jo Perry's Charlie and Rose series – centring on a ghost and his sole constant companion, an emaciated phantom red setter dog – for years now, even getting my blurb ("Like 'The Wire' meets 'The Tibetan Book of The Dead,'" in case you're interested) quoted on the books and the lady's website, and have given copies of the books to friends and family and anyone who I think will love the mix of crime, metaphysics, and cynical humour.
That cynicism, I'm increasingly sure, is based not on pure negativity but on the idea that a cynic is an optimist who's been disappointed once too often; but Perry and her protagonist seem, as the series progresses, to be coming close to rediscovering some optimism: The world may be a seemingly bottomless pit of grim, but there are still good people occasionally. And dogs. Always, there are dogs.
The series is on its fourth outing this time round and shows no signs of series fatigue. Rather, it's getting better and better. If the first three novels (Dead is Dead is Better / Best / Good) gave us links to Charlie's life pre-decease, but always focussed on people we feel might have liked if not loved him, this time the book is focussed on his "Shit brother," a venal unpleasant bully who made Charlie's life a misery, and who's life is now about to become far more, shall we say, challenging.
Also in the mix is a homeless woman who's vileness is brilliantly portrayed. This woman and her seemingly hopeless search are proof that despite the surreality of the concept, Perry writes real, complex, contradictory characters who feel alive. Even when they're dead. Her story arc in this one is absolutely heartbreaking and – without spoilers – the ultimate outcome of both hers and Shit Brother's stories are wonderfully drawn, genuinely touching and still edged with that ambiguity that is the mark of true Noir.
The other thing Perry has always been good at, but which really comes to the fore in Dead is Beautiful, is comedy. Here she mixes it with some amazing dramatic set-pieces, and the meld is never jarring, with one leading seamlessly and almost inexorably into the other.
A scene of an owl attack on the hapless brother, and its aftermath, had me literally crying with laughter, the intelligently written slapstick and foul mouthed tirades loosed in the aftermath like a wildlife documentary "When Owls Attack" scripted by Larry David, and the description of a natural disaster – the surreality heightened by the fact that the event is witnessed and described to us by a man who's been dead for years – is chilling in its power and destructiveness, and cinematic in the writing (unsurprisingly, perhaps, as Perry has been a Hollywood writer on TV and movies in the past).
And this familiarity – with Hollywood, with (as she calls it) Beverly Fucking Hills – makes for a really entertaining read. Here is an understanding of some of the less loveable inhabitants of that town, an anger at the greed profligacy and venality, but ultimately – as happens with Charlie – a recognition that there are many good people trying to live good lives amongst them, many decencies lost in the noise, and that people can go astray. And, in some cases, be found again.
If crime novels are Redemption stories, either about the achievement of redemption or – in the absence of same – about the impact that a life lived without the possibility of some elevation has on the individual and those around them, then these books sit squarely in the cannon of great crime novels.
And if Netflix needs something in the lines of "Dirk Gently" but with a red setter and a corpulent dead guy who's not only, in his afterlife, learning more about himself, the people he loved and the world he once inhabited; but about what it means to be human, to be afraid and, when all's said and done, what it means to be truly alive, then they should definitely be talking to Perry's media agent.
Highly – and genuinely – recommended.

Principles of Effective Intervention. There are four general principles of effective intervention that have become organizing concepts of community corrections. They have stimulated what has become known as the "what works" movement. Write a paper outlining the four general principles of the "what works" movement.
Thesis: Your thesis (which is part of your first paragraph) should, at the very least, list the four principles of the effective intervention.
Body: The body of your paper (your entire paper excluding the thesis and conclusion) should, at the very least, give a thoughtful analysis of the four general principles of effective intervention in a sequential order. Explain what the principles mean. Look for examples. Determine if the principles are effective. Explain why the principles either are, or are not effective.
Conclusion: The conclusion (which is part of the last paragraph) should, at the very least, restate the thesis.


I have a renderer where the BxDF interface is Sample(), PDF(), and Eval(). The Lambertian BRDF is working well, and I believe I have properly implemented Eval for GGX based on another user's question, but I'm struggling to find a resource I can understand that explains how to generate samples, and then calculate the corresponding PDFs, for a GGX distribution.
I've found some of the original papers, but unlike Lambert the Sampling and PDF seem based on spherical coordinates (which I don't really understand - 3D Vectors are about the limit of my math).
I would really love to know how to translate "A Simpler and Exact Sampling Routine for the GGX Distribution of Visible Normals" into separate Sample() and PDF() functions.

Another exciting band to be discovered by MIMR recently are the raucous sound created by Swine and they look like there ready to take over many stages with their rip-rawing, energetic performances.
MIMR: Thrilled to have Swine on the blog, how's your 2019 been so far and what can we expect for the rest of the year?
Daniel: Thank you, we've got a few gigs still lined up for 2019 and hopefully looking to add some more throughout the year. Were a looking at releasing a single and maybe an EP.
MIMR: How best would you describe your music and when writing a track what process within the band takes place?
Daniel: Id say were more on the heavier side of punk rock, but its up for debate. Usually, one of us will come to rehearsal with a riff that we like and we work round it and create a basic song from it, then we add in stuff and take out stuff till were happy with the finished product.
MIMR: We're really looking forward to seeing you play live, do you ever have any pre-gig nerves?
Michael: sometimes, i do but i just listen to Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf and im set.
Stephen: I don't really get any, i just pray I can hear the rest of the band through the monitors.
MIMR: What's been the most memorable gig you've played as a band so far?
Daniel: Well its between when we played with one of our favourite bands, Strange Bones, we were lucky enough to get picked in an online competition, it was surreal… still is. The other would have to be when we played Band On The Wall for a Manchester Bombing remembrance gig as it was for a great cause and the whole crowd were giving 110%.
MIMR: Festival season is just roumd the corner, if you had to share the main stage with any bands past or present who would they be and why?
Michael: id have to say The Pogues, would be a reyt good laugh, there would be rivers of booze.
Stephen: I'd say Primus for bands to share just because they're so unique and unconventional.
MIMR: Thanks for chatting with us on the blog, good luck with this year, how can people follow you on social media and check out some music?
And finally our debut EP Fools Britannia and single The Riff can be found on any major streaming service.

In Just 1 Year, I Earned $23,000 Publishing My First Book! by Mikey Chlanda
Eight surgeries down. Six more to go, and then a year or two of rehab. What was a fire lieutenant out on injury leave from being hit and thrown 37 feet by a van, going to do?
Why, write a book, of course!
I needed something to take my mind off of the injuries and upcoming rehab. When I went to my college reunion that year, another former firefighter and I were talking to a guy that was on our college fire department 10 or 15 years before us. After he wandered off, Jeanne looked at me, and said, "Someone should write a history of Maples (the nickname for the department), before all these old guys die off."
"Hey," I thought, "I can do that!"
I jumped on it. I had the time, I had the knowledge, and most importantly, it would keep my mind occupied for the next year or so. I thought I would sell 50 copies. Maybe.
Fast forward a year. I sold 2600 copies and cleared $23,000! Holy crap, I think I can do this! Soon, I wrote a second, a record price guide. Then a third, soon followed by a fourth. I was hooked.
I did a lot of things right, most of them without even knowing what I was doing was right. I had some screw-ups, too.
Things I did right – first, I picked a subject I knew a lot about, and was passionate about. Ask any of my friends – when I meet someone, within two minutes they know I was a firefighter and now I write books.
The second thing I did right was crowdfunding that book on GoFundMe.com so I would have money to live on. Within five minutes of posting it one night, my old roommate from Antioch gave me $100. By morning, I had over $500. Anyone who gave me anything got a PDF of the book. For $25, they got a physical book, and for $100, they got a t-shirt as well, plus a deluxe hardbound edition. Interestingly enough, everyone else that gave me $100 or more besides my roommate was unknown to me. The sweetest one was from a woman that remembered I had saved her life back in 1989. (She went into anaphylactic shock from a bee sting and I gave her the epi shot.) This also gave me their email address, so I could tell them about my next book.
Antioch was also a huge help. They let me use hundreds of photos in exchange for donating five books to the library. For an out-of-pocket cost of $20, I saved a couple grand. That December, they published an interview with me. A few hundred books sold. Three months later, they published that interview in their print alumni magazine. A lot more sold. Then, they invited me to hawk my book at the reunion that year. The theme, amazingly enough, was authors who went to Antioch. Never underestimate how much your school will love (and promote!) you if you write a book about them. It only took me four years to figure this out – I've since done an Antioch coloring book, and am working on an early history book.
This one was total luck. I pitched Chris Brogan. He wrote back, "Holy cats. You can write. I'm impressed. Can I interview you? Please say yes." That interview went live the month before the book came out – I sold hundreds. Thanks, Chris.
Other things – I had a mailing list of former Maples firefighters to use for research and to sell my book to. Since the book involved local history, two local history groups bought a dozen books each. Being fire history, several fire museums bought – and continue to buy – books for their gift shop. You get the idea.
To date, I've sold over 4000 copies of that book, published 6 more, with 3 more due out next month. I make a full-time living writing books and articles, mainly fire-related. My work has been published by Huffington Post, Village Voice, ESPN.com, and more. Good thing, too, as I never could again pass the physical again for the fire department.

After a 29-year firefighting career was cut short by injury, Mikey Chlanda turned to writing what he lived. His first book, "Maples, A History of the Antioch College Fire Department", came out in 2012. His memoirs, "The Last Noble Profession – 29 Years of Kicking Down Doors and Helping People", comes out next month. His work has been published by Huffington Post, ESPN.com, and the Village Voice, and more.

What you Don't Know about Don Warrington Age, Facts, Wikipedia, Who, Nationality, Biography, Wiki, Bio
Who is Don Warrington Age, Facts, Wikipedia, Who, Nationality, Biography?
Wear Warrington is a British entertainer most popular for the ITV sitcom Rising Damp. In 2008, he turned into an individual from the Order of the British Empire (MBE). A trademark to his acting is his unequivocally articulated privileged complement.
The character of Don Warrington's significant other remaining parts obscure right now. Nonetheless, he is hitched, according to the reports on the web. Not recently wedded, he is the dad of two youngsters, Jacob Warrington, and Archie Warrington. His absence of quality from online media is to be faulted for the namelessness of his relatives.
In like manner, Don never speaks much with regards to the private subtleties in interviews. The main accomplice we know about is his expert moving partner, Lilia Kopylova, during the 2008 Strictly Come Dancing series. She is a double cross British National Champion in Latin American dance.
Tahj Miles may have filmed the Death in Paradise Christmas special in mid August but he's spending Christmas in Hackney https://t.co/8Gf2clbys0
— Hackney Gazette (@hackneygazette) December 12, 2021
The Death In Paradise star keeps a daily existence away from the spotlight when he isn't working. In any case, he once said a couple of lines on his family later a questioner got some information about his job on BBC2's Grumpy Old Men.
During that meeting, they discussed the idea of the person he played, Lear. Also toward the end, whether or not Don was an old dictator or not came. As a response, he says his family would have an assortment of conclusions, however he doesn't think so. Similarly, he added that the person could be some of him, as in he could be irate and Don can need to kill individuals.
Wear Warrington's age is 70 years. Born to Basil Kydd and Shirley Williams on 23 May 1951 in Trinidad as Donald Williams, he emigrated to England at five alongside his mom and brother. Concerning his sister, she stayed in his local country. His dad was a government official who perished in 1958.
Following his turn, Don experienced childhood in Newcastle and went to Harris College (University of Central Lancashire). Moreover, he prepared at the Drama Center London. Subsequent to tracking down an entertainer with a similar name while joining Equity, he picked his stage name Don Warrington, the road he experienced childhood with was the motivation.
From the age of 17, he started acting in repertory theater. The assessed total assets of Don Warrington is $16 million. His pay sources incorporate his acting works and brand supports (assuming any). The anticipated sum is legitimate, particularly considering his distinguished filmography vocation that saw 83 featuring jobs (both major and minor).

April 1, 2019 marks the 90th anniversary of the first radio program produced at the University of Kentucky and aired over WHAS in Louisville. We don't know much about the program, except that it dealt with agriculture. As Jeff Franklin with the UK College of Agriculture Food and Environment explains, it's a combo that continues to this very day.
University of Kentucky agricultural economists say the state's net farm income could drop to its lowest level since 2010. They're pointing to sharply lower cattle prices along with large grain stockpiles and the lowest tobacco receipts of the post-tobacco buyout era as factors behind the decline in farm income. On the positive side, they say poultry receipts are back on track.
A connection between UK and Berea College is about to come full circle as the two institutions work together on a historic project.
Another key component of the University of Kentucky's new contract with Aramark for dining services is being fleshed out.
After a long, hard winter, sheep are ready to part ways with their wooly winter coats. Jeff Franklin reports on a special sheep shearing class.


Pub Stallhagen, is situated in the same building as Stallhagens Brewery. Enjoy good food made from locally produces ingredients. The menu varies several times a day depending on which ingredient's are available for the day. Take the chance and the different beers brewed in the house.
Pub Stallhagen cooperates with about 80 producers around Åland and gladly raises all the gold grains. Working with local producers is an obvious choice for them, as they love to highlight the true taste of Åland.
At Stallhagen you can also get tip on how to best combine food with the different beers brewed in the house and find surprising taste experiences. In the beer cranes there are many different beers to choose from. The pub takess 60 guests and in summer the terrace also opens with the lovely view of the small lake below.
MShort abouth Stallhagen - The Brewery Stallhagen was founded in 2004 by a group of beer lovers and currently has 2,700 shareholders. Stallhagen is today Åland's oldest and largest brewery with a production facility in Grelsby, 18 km from Mariehamn. The brewery's basic idea was to produce good beer, mainly for the Åland market. With it's tasty products, however, the company has quickly won countless friends outside Åland.
In the heart of Åland, overlooking the beatyfil Säckviken lake, is Stalldalen - a beautiful 1930s building that has gained new life as a guesthouse and a place for rest.
At Pensionat Stalldalen, they have built an environment inspired by the 1930's stripped design with rich raw materials such as concrete and steelas well with soft lambskin and old mats. Today, the baker Johanna Strand has taken ower the house former kitchen and transformed it to a bakery named Johannas Hembakta. The scent of freshly bread, biscuits and cardamombuns from the stone oven sneaks thru the corridor. Everything that Johanna bakes is served in Joels Källare Café, where you will also enjoys the breakfast.

Transhumanist Candidate Wants " Brain Implants to Manage Violent Actions of Prisoners"… And Society
Maybe the solution to all crime is more surveillance and direct control over the minds of all prisoners, anyone marked with violent tendencies and ultimately everyone in society.
That's what one futurist is proposing, as he runs on a political platform based around psycho-physical state control over mind and body.
Zoltan Istvan, presidential candidate for the Transhumanist Party, thinks that prisoners would be better motivated to obey the law if the death penalty were abolished, and it be replaced by implanting a surveillance brain chip that notify the law and can even deploy a "tranquilizer triggered to block violent behavior."
Of course, once it becomes legal to control the brains of one sector of society (convicted criminals), the rest of society may follow, each with their own rationales and justifications that make using spy chips inside the brain somehow acceptable.
It is a scenario ripped straight from the plot of A Clockwork Orange, where the ethics and finer points of behaviorism are put into practice as prison-reform-via-mind-control, in turn packaged neatly for political debates and electioneering. According to the International Business Times:
Brain implants able to manage out-of-control tempers and violent actions of prisons were suggested to minimise crime rates in the United States and as alternative for death penalty, according to Zoltan Istvan. The futurist and presidential candidate for the Transhumanist Party, Istvan suggested that the technology could be a near-term alternative for criminals on death row and might be considered sufficient punishment.
"Violent crime is a version of mental disease," Istvan stated in an article published in Motherboard, suggesting conducting brain alterations to prisoners could change behavior and attitudes of criminals into decent members of society. The brain implants would work as a surveillance device that could monitor or possibly control each action of the prisoner with a tranquilizer triggered if violent behavior is reported or attempted by the inmate.
See also: Technology Takes us One Step Closer To Uploading Our Brains Into Robot Bodies
But, of course, the story isn't limited to just murderers and the worst violent offenders with career prison sentences.
You knew that.
The full solution proposed here would come only at the hand of further deep-seated government control over the entire population.
Of course. Why not?
No one can ever be safe without giving up total control, right?
Implants should also be put in the brains of law abiding citizens, according to Istvan who is advocating a transhumanist platform for society.
This would serve as an emergency alert to authorities that they are experiencing a trauma (where a crime may be taking place), theoretically cutting back on the number of criminals who would be willing to follow through with the crimes if they knew they'd get caught.
Trauma alert implant should also be in the brain of citizens, a device that sends signal to alert authorities directly from the brain if someone is experiencing trouble or trauma, he proposed. The surveillance enhancement would reduce criminal rates rapidly in the future, Istvan said.
"If people knew they were going to be caught, crime would drop noticeably … violent criminals will be caught far more frequently than now, especially if we have some type of trauma alert implant in people," he said.
Already, consumers are buying mood altering devices that change brain waves, while the Obama Administration has funded deep research into brain tinkering and engineering.
"So the technology to change behaviour and alter the brain isn't science fiction," he stated. The article indicated that U.S. President Barack Obama's brain initiative focused to treat the involuntary movements associated with Parkinson's disease and improving deep brain stimulation or by developing new technology.
Simply formula, really: Keep the status quo, instituted by the power monopoly of the state. Do nothing to change unfair systematic economic and socio-political problems; let known cheats and liars continue to operate a rigged game.
Then, keep tabs on everyone, and push a few buttons to make everyone afraid – not only to commit crimes and hurt other people – but afraid to speak out or stand out at all. Right to bear arms? Not a good idea, especially if it means arms in the hands of people who are quick to anger, or capable of violent tendencies at all.
Use a few consumer incentives to keep everyone in line, and keep pushing the pleasure button, the artificial happiness button, and keep the information about what is really going on swept under the carpet so that everyone learns to love their servitude.
Yeah, what else could go wrong?

Vandalism at a Jewish cemetery in Rochester raised the specter Thursday of a local version of the anti-Semitic hate crimes seen elsewhere across the country.
Throughout the day Thursday, cemetery officials and police found that the destruction — the toppling this week of headstones at Waad Hakolel (Vaad Hakolel) Cemetery in northwest Rochester — was worse than initially thought. Early Thursday, cemetery officials said the damage could be simple hooliganism. But, as the day went on, the number of desecrated grave markers increased from a half dozen to at least a dozen and the initial belief that none had been defaced turned out to be wrong.
Several headstones were toppled in a Jewish cemetery in Rochester this week. Victoria Freile
"We are actively investigating the circumstances which led to the damage of the headstones," Rochester police spokeswoman Investigator Jacqueline Shuman said in a news release. "There are currently no suspects in custody at this time, but we will continue to update everyone on any new developments."
About a hundred headstones were recently overturned in a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, only about a week after a similar crime in Missouri.
►Vandalized cemetery's visitors sad, angry, eager to help
Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the State Police to also investigate the Rochester vandalism as a possible hate crime.
"In recent weeks and months, the family of New York — people of all creeds, colors and backgrounds — have witnessed a dramatic increase in acts of hate and intolerance," Cuomo said in a statement. "The State Police Hate Crimes Task Force, in partnership with federal and local authorities, have launched aggressive investigations into reported hate crimes across the state."
Officials at the nonprofit Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester say the vandalism should be viewed in the current environment, a time when bigotry seems to be manifesting itself into crimes.
Noting reports of more than 180 anti-Semitic incidents in the past month, Karen Elam, the Federation's Director of Community Relations, said in a statement: "We are deeply disturbed by rising acts of anti-Semitism across the country, including bomb threats made to Jewish community centers, Jewish day schools, and synagogues. We encourage our elected officials to continue to denounce publicly these actions and call on local, state, and federal law enforcement to investigate and swiftly bring the perpetrators to account."
Elam visited the cemetery, also called Stone Road cemetery, Thursday and said at least a dozen headstones had been knocked over and some had defaced markings upon them.

Rochester's Board of Rabbis said in a statement that the spate of hate crimes must be addressed on a national level, with the Department of Justice training local police how to confront bias-based offenses. The national Anti-Defamation League has proposed this training, along with other steps, including the convening of a federal task force to combat hate. The ADL is also offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the vandalism.
On Thursday, the national Muslim organization, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, also condemned the vandalism and offered to assist the cemetery in any way it could.
"We stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters and offer our support," Salaam Bhatti, the group's spokesperson, said in a news release.
In August 2014 vandals shoved over close to 40 headstones at the Britton Road Cemetery, a Jewish cemetery managed by the same nonprofit group overseeing Waad Hakolel Cemetery. Greece police determined the crimes were not motivated by hate.

Lawmakers and law enforcement officials have seen a recent rise in antisemitic acts, including dozens of bomb threats to Jewish community centers.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York on Wednesday asked the Federal Communications Commission to consider waiving a privacy rule so that Jewish community centers could track callers because of the bomb threats.

It turns out that South Koreans can't legally use marijuana anywhere in the world. Not even if they are in a country like Canada where it's legalized. If a South Korean resident uses marijuana, even in a legal market, they face punishment by their government upon returning home because the country's narcotics law states that use, transport, possession or cultivation can result in up to 5-years in prison.
If convicted, South Koreans could be charged with up to 5-years in prison or a fine of up to $44,000 USD, The New York Times reports. Theyare expected to abide by the laws of their homeland regardless of where they are in the world. Gambling is illegal too, so they can't gamble while on vacation either.
Some offenders have been caught because of posts on social media showing them using marijuana. Some celebrities that are open about their marijuana use are subject to being banned from performing in the country.
Canada just legalized recreational marijuana use and 23,000 South Korean students reside in Canada. It is also estimated that about 293,000 South Korean residents travel to Canada annually.
Narcotics crime prosecutions rose in South Korea to 8,887 in 2017, an increase from 5,699 in 2014. Marijuana crime charges have increased 49% since 2014.
Marijuana became illegal in the 1970s in South Korea when it was banned by military dictator Park Chung-hee.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The
2004 (May 27, 2014)
Touchstone Home Entertainment (Criterion - Spine #300)
Film/Program Grade: A+
Video Grade: A+
Audio Grade: A+
Extras Grade: A+
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is perhaps Wes Anderson's most-polarizing film to date. After earning nearly universal praise for his previous films Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, he took a slightly different direction with his next film, making it a bit more whimsical in nature, but still containing those real human elements that we all share.
The most important aspect of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is Bill Murray. Without his portrayal of the character, this film wouldn't be nearly as memorable as it is. He's the lynchpin for the rest of the cast's performances in the film, in my opinion. His deadpan but real sensibility about a man past his prime who's looking for a reason to still be relevant to not just his peers but also his family and friends keeps the movie's story in tow, and prevents it from going too far over the whimsical edge. The rest of the cast is pretty terrific, as one should expect, including Willem Dafoe, Anjelica Huston, Owen Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, and the amazing Cate Blanchett, who I just love in everything. But again, they might not be as compelling without Bill Murray.
The story itself is pretty whimsical at times, but very down-to-earth as well. Wes Anderson chose to realize imaginary sea creatures using stop-motion animation, which some people felt took away from the reality of the situation at hand a bit too much (and also prefigured his interest in stop-motion with Fantastic Mr. Fox). Personally, I found it to be deliberate and necessary. It's very easy to get caught up in the drama of the film, but the whimsy helps to soften the blow. It's almost like a bedtime story that's been made into a film, in a lot of ways. It has that sort of feel to it to me. Even though there's a heartfelt story about an older man meeting his son for the first time and going through marital problems with his wife, I still feel like I'm reading the story out of a fairy tale book, and that's just wonderful.
I think it's obvious by now that I am not a hater of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and I can't understand why anyone would hate it in the first place. I love everything about the film, and while I can't say for certain whether or not it's my favorite Wes Anderson film, I'd definitely consider it to be in my top five. Trying to come up with a favorite Wes Anderson film for me is equivalent to picking your favorite offspring. It's impossible because you love them all, and you love them all for different reasons, as well. The film is just another pearl in the succession on the necklace, and it's always wonderful to revisit it.
And with Criterion's Blu-ray release of the film (which has been approved by Wes Anderson himself), there's never a better time than now. The presentation of the film is virtually perfect, with no discernible imperfections at all. It's amazingly clear with an immense amount of image detail, colors are quite robust, black levels are very deep, and both contrast and brightness are nearly perfect. I didn't notice any signs of compression artifacting or any pointless enhancements either. It's superlative, in other words. The same goes for the film's soundtrack, which is a single English 5.1 DTS-HD track. Dynamic range and clarity are pretty amazing, as are the acoustics and ambience. Dialogue is always clean, clear and well-prioritized, and both the sound effects and score have lots of life to them. The LFE also plays its part well. You couldn't really ask for a better presentation of the film at all. There are also subtitles in English for those who might need them.
The supplemental material is vast and also well-worth a look. There's an audio commentary with director Wes Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach; the This is an Adventure documentary about the making of the film; a set of nine deleted scenes; a clip from Mondo Monda, an Italian talk show with Anderson and Baumbach as the guests; a set of Cast and Crew Interviews (Jane, Ned, Costumes, Aquatic Life, The Look Aquatic, Creating a Scene, and Esteban); an interview with composer Mark Mothersbaugh; a set of song selections wherein Seu Jorge Performs David Bowie ("Starman," "Oh! You Pretty Things," "Changes," "Rebel Rebel," "Lady Stardust," "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide," "Five Years," "Life on Mars?," "Suffragette City," and "Quicksand"); an Intern Video Journal by Matthew Gray Gubler; a gallery of photos; a gallery of designs; a making-of featurette; the film's original theatrical trailer; and finally, a fold-out insert containing a conversation between Wes Anderson and illustrator Eric Chase Anderson.
Blu-ray releases of Wes Anderson's work are always pretty stellar, whether they're on Criterion's label or not, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is no exception. It's an amazing film with an amazing visual and aural presentation with an amazing set of extras to go along with it. In fact, I love it, and I plan on watching it over and over again, and I'm sure I won't be the only one. Most highly recommended!

While watching movie trailers and previews at the theaters, I've often turned to a friend to express my short opinion. I'm sure it's a common occurrence.
The Movie Preview Critic not only turns to you and tells their opinion, they really criticize the minute and a half of each mainstream movie preview. The example piece is the preview review of Inception the up coming Christopher Nolan carte blanche film. For ten minutes, we receive an in-depth critique, both captivating and sometimes humorous. The narrator makes solid points throughout the whole review.
I find very amusing that we have gotten to the point of reviewing the previews. It is an interesting concept, and the Inception critique is equally fitting.


Muzaffar Aazim is a Kashmiri poet who came to the limelight during 1970s. In short time, he gained strength over many long time practioners of Kashmiri poetry in that period. He gave two rapid collections of poems, zolana and mani-kaman for which he received Jammu & Kashmir Cultural Academy awrads in seventies. There was a certain freshness, a certain distinctiveness in his poems that attracted many readers to him. For a long time Muzaffar Azim did not publish. However, his recent ghazals show a new life, maturity of style, content and diction. It's a promising comeback of yet another powerful voice of Kashmiri ghazal. One of his recent ghazals is featured on Neab website.
Is it possible for you to give the Neab posting address in English? I would like to send a mail there and I am unable to translate the website.


Solomon Walusimbi and Rashid Agau scored goals to jolt Maroons FC to their first victory of the 2018-9 UPL season with a 2-1 victory against Onduparaka FC in Luzira.
With former coach Asaph Mwebaze making his return to Luzira following an off-season move to Onduparaka, and Maroons searching their first maximum points of the season thus far, the match had all ingredients of a dicey affair.
Solomon Walusimbi, scorer of Maroon's equaliser on against Police FC on Sunday, put his side in the lead after capitalizing on a mistake by net-minder Richard Anyama.
Former Ondu attacker Rashid Agau eventually ensured safety of all the points when he added the second in the 66th min.
Like compatriot Walusmbi, It was Agau's second goal in the last two games.
Skipper Rashid Toha pulled one back for Mwebaze's side in the dying embers of the game but it Nsimbe's Maroons weathered the stormy last minutes to retain the three points at home.
Onduparaka dropped to seventh on the log with 11 points while Maroons jumped out of the relegation zone for the first time to 13 with five points.

Amid growing national protests about the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's use of body scanners and intrusive pat-downs of passengers at airport security checkpoints, U.S. Rep. John Mica has urged airports to consider switching to private security to screen passengers.
Mica, a Republican from Winter Park in line to become chairman of the powerful House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in January, did not mention the scanner controversy, which has prompted passenger groups to threaten mass resistance at airports during the busy Thanksgiving travel season.
Instead, his letter on transportation committee stationery reflected his broader concern about the size and efficiency of the TSA, a 67,000-employee agency that Mica said is unwieldy, bureaucratic and inefficient.
Mica sent the letter, dated Nov. 5, to officials at scores of airports around the country, including Orlando International, suggesting they consider switching to private security.
On Monday, Phil Brown, executive director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, sent a memo to GOAA board members saying his office is reviewing the possibility, and will discuss it with the board at the Dec. 8 meeting.
Orlando-Sanford International Airport already has taken steps toward switching, though it could be a year or more before TSA officials might be replaced by private contractors, said airport President Larry Dale.
Mica's letter, and a similar one he sent specifically to Orlando International in August, expresses alarm at the size and scope of the TSA, which was created under a 2001 law that he helped write in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist hijackings. He states that the law specifically provides for airports to opt out of TSA inspections, and 17 have done so, including San Francisco, Kansas City and 15 small airports such as Key West.
While airports can opt for private screeners, the TSA would actually hire, oversee and pay for them. The difference, Mica contends, can be in performance and customer service.
It is unclear whether the airports would also have the chance to opt out of the body scanners and pat-downs that have created a firestorm of criticism of the agency in recent weeks. The scanners, used on selected passengers, use X-ray or radio-wave technology to allow TSA officers to see through clothing in order to look for hidden contraband, such as liquid or powder explosives. Passengers who refuse are patted-down by TSA officers, who are required to touch passengers' private areas.
Dale said Orlando-Sanford expects to get a scanner installed soon and that he and the airport board have no objections to it.
Across the nation, disgruntled passengers have expressed worries about the health risks of X-ray exposure and outrage about privacy concerns regarding the images and pat-downs. Groups ranging from the American Civil Liberties Union to FlyersRights.org to WorldNetDaily have called for the TSA to reconsider the operation. The latter group, which publishes a right-wing Internet blog, has started a petition and gathered 14,000 signatures.
Neither Mica nor the TSA responded to requests to discuss the letters.
"When the TSA was established, it was never envisioned that it would become a huge, unwieldy bureaucracy which was soon to grow to 67,000 employees," Mica wrote. "As TSA has grown larger, more impersonal and administratively top-heavy, I believe it is important that airports across the country consider utilizing the opt-out provision."
Later, he states, "It is both inappropriate and inefficient for the TSA to serve as the administrator, quality assurance regulator, operator and auditor of its own activities."
The TSA was created in part to standardize screening procedures. Boston's Logan Airport, where hijackers boarded two planes, used private screeners.
The Orlando-Sanford airport board voted in October to seek private screening. Dale said the airport has the chance to help mold new screening procedures by working with the TSA to develop guidelines for contractors.
"Private screeners seem to do a better job with efficiency and cost accounting," he said.
Orlando International Airport has reviewed the prospect before and now should review it again, Brown said.
"We are evaluating, and we'll make a presentation at the next board meeting," he said. "No decision has been made at this time."

With MEGHAN MARKLE's Imminent Departure, "SUITS" Casts KATHERINE HEIGL for SEASON 8
The second half of season 7 for the USA Network's legal drama "Suits" will not actually resume until next month, in the now-common network practice of cutting season runs and alternating programming as a result. Still, while the season finale's not until April, the production is already at work developing the overall arc plot for season 8, set to start in late 2018. For one thing, not only have they already conceptualized a brand new character to appear in the series, they have also cast the actress who will play that character. Even better, she's an honest-to-goodness Golden Globe winner.
USA Network announced in their official website that "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl is taking up a role as a brand-new regular cast member when "Suits" starts its eighth season. Her presence seeks to really shake things up regarding the status quo of the Pearson Specter Litt legal firm, currently still in flux during the season 7 break. Heigl will portray a new addition to the firm, incoming law partner Samantha Wheeler who becomes a new counterpart of sorts to series lead Gabriel Macht as Mark Specter. Her different way of doing things makes her a wild card that might make things better for Specter and his accomplice Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), or destroy what they've accomplished.
In an interview, Heigl revealed that she herself has been a fan of "Suits" from season 1 and is very excited to soon become part of the cast now that the show has proven to be a long-runner. "Joining Suits was the perfect organic way to not only collaborate with an EP I admire deeply, but to also become part of a show and cast that I am an immense fan of," she said.
"Suits" creator and executive producer Aaron Kosh is just as excited to have Heigl on board for the series on its upcoming season. I have always been a big fan of her work and was delighted to discover she was an avid Suits fan herself," notes Kosh. "I cannot wait to have her come play with our entire cast and crew." It's quite the character intro indeed, to have Heigl's Samantha Wheeler come in as a peer of Macht's Specter and co-stars Sarah Rafferty (Donna Paulsen) and Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt). Her entrance comes as a result of cast regular Meghan Markle (as Rachel Zane) leaving the production at the end of the current season in light of her engagement to Prince Harry.
Alex Williams also joins the cast as Dule Hill.
Season 7 of "suits" resumes on March 28 and will air Wednesdays at 9/8c on the USA Network. Season 8 of will kick off its production in Toronto this coming April, the same month that the S7 finale.

Podcast – The Language of Wine – In conversation with Eric Asimov and Stephen Satterfield
Eric Asimov is the Chief Wine Critic of the New York Times, a role he has had since 2004. He is also the author of How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto. He was interviewed by Stephen Satterfield, co-founder of Whetstone Media, a multi-platform, multi-media company dedicated to food and wine.
Stephen Satterfield
What have you observed as some of the most meaningful changes in the ways that food and beverage are communicated, though The New York Times specifically, but maybe at large?
Eric Asimov
Forty years ago, writing about food and wine was still considered second rank in a lot of ways. It was gathering recipes, not to explore a culture, but to sell products. A lot of the people who were doing it didn't really think of themselves as journalists, but as boosters, essentially, for the food business or for the wine business, and that has changed entirely. The Times was one of the pioneers in requiring its food writers to be journalists. It was the first American newspaper to have a weekly column devoted to wine, written by Frank Prial, who was a journalist, not somebody from the wine industry whose thinking was to promote wine in the industry.
Was the move into wine intentional and something you wanted to pursue, or was it a pathway to another destination?
Writing about wine is something I've always wanted to do, having been passionate about wine since I was in my teens. I got to know Frank Prial my predecessor, and Frank was an interesting guy, who was not only a supersmart guy but a brilliant writer; very cultured, multiple languages, but also a traditional journalist. He'd been a foreign correspondent and he'd always sort of grumble about being stuck writing about wine, as if it were somehow demeaning to him when he should be off crossing the Khyber Pass and covering conflict and so on. I once said, "Frank let me follow you around. I'll trail you. You can introduce me to people. Teach me what you know. Give me six months and then I'll take over from you and you won't have to write about wine anymore." He didn't speak to me for two months after that. He actually loved the job.
Times have changed now. Back then, many newspapers had somebody writing about wine; some of them were freelance, but many of them were on staff. Nowadays we have just two staff wine writers for newspapers, which is very sad.
Stephen Satterfield, founder of Whetstone Media, and Eric Asimov, New York Times' wine critic
Did you have a sense of the way that you wanted to talk about wine, or is that something that was adapted once you started in that role?
By the time that I started to think seriously about writing about wine (1999), Frank Prial's way of writing in a very literary way about wine – Hugh Johnson being another example – was being discarded, as the focus came to such people as Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator. These people were treating wine as a bottle-by-bottle consumer question: This is what you should buy, this is what you should not buy, here's my description of the wine and there's my score. To me this was a more intimidating of discussing wine because the very specialised language of the tasting note separated out the people who 'got' that language from the people who didn't know what the hell it was talking about. To me, this had the effect of putting off people even as it promised to welcome them.
It's really interesting that you're talking about a writer like Hugh Johnson whose style is really literary and ethereal, and someone like Robert Parker, who became famous because of his language becoming numerology in a sense. Was there a particular time you can point to where this started to happen?
I think it coincided with the rise of Parker in the '80s and the '90s which also coincided with the wine and food revolution. Wine used to be such a small and specialised market and if you were discussing new vintages, it was restricted to Bordeaux and Burgundy. Maybe you would talk about Champagne and Port or something like that, but it was a very narrow kind of field. If you were to look at a restaurant wine list from, say, 1980, it had far more in common with a restaurant wine list of 1900 than it would to 2019. I think before somebody like Parker, the whole discussion, the whole point of tasting notes was not to speak to the public. It was industry speak, it was sales speak and it was very specialised language. Since then we've seen Parker's explosive enthusiasm applied to wine tasting, directed to the general public. We've seen the rise of the sommelier and, in particular, the Court of Master Sommelier through movies and other media and it's reinforced this notion that if you're going to talk about wine, this is how you're going to talk about it; if you're going to understand wine, you have to be able to identify a wine after blind tasting. It's reinforced the notion that you have to be a connoisseur to understand a wine. I think in the end it reinforces a kind of exclusivity around wine.
Are you talking about Britain and the US specifically?
Britain historically created the notion of wine connoisseurship. Not that there weren't wine experts in France, obviously there were, but the greater culture in France and other wine drinking countries was centred around whatever the local wine was. You were not in a position of having to choose a wine for the most part. You just drank whatever was available locally. In a place like Britain where you had access to many different wines but grew up with none of it unless you were the child of aristocracy, this was all taught academically. This became a not only a vocation and avocation for people but it also a marker of class.
Do you think that the folks who were the small vignerons in France were, maybe unwittingly, a part of the globalisation of wine? How privy do you think they were to this new language that was evolving?
Vignerons all over the world have benefited enormously from the popularity of wine. If we go back 15 years to the movie Mondovino, it posited the notion that globalisation was the death of wine, because everything would be homogenised. We would all be drinking Chardonnay and Cabernet and it would all taste the same. Globalisation has instead demonstrated the amazing diversity of wine and helped people all over the world to appreciate it. I think that this has happened despite a lot of the intimidating language that has been used with wine, because wine itself is such a wonderful thing and gives so much pleasure. For people who get over that initial obstacle of intimidation, they begin to see the wonders of wine that are available.
I think it's also important to talk about the internet, because on the one hand it closed down all the newspapers and wine writers, but it also opened up an opportunity for people all over the world to hear opnions that diverged from the gatekeepers. People could decide for themselves which wines they liked and why.
As much as language has been a barrier, emotion has been an accelerant. While somebody like Parker might have baffled people with the language that he used, the excitement that he so obviously felt about wine really helped to drive interest in wine.
Do you think there is a universal language in wine?
The wine itself is the universal language. Once people pour from a bottle and have a glass, that's a unifying experience, but I don't think that there's a universal language any more than we all speak a single language. Even those of us who share the English language have so many different reference points and life experiences, that I've always believed the best way to talk about wine is generally. The more overly specific you get about a particular wine, then the more divisive you get, because people just don't have the same experiences to latch on to. I've never been inspired to taste a wine because it tastes like blackberries and tobacco. I want to taste a great wine.

Big Ten looks to regain bragging rights from ACC in Challenge
By Shannon Ryan
Chicago Tribune |
Louisville interim coach David Padgett shouts at his team during the first half of a game, Friday, Nov. 24, 2017, in Louisville, Ky. (Timothy D. Easley / AP)
Last year the Big Ten lost the Big Ten-ACC Challenge for the first time since 2008 after five wins and two ties. The 19th edition of the conference showdown starts Monday, and the Big Ten should get back on top.
The Challenge will feature some must-sees (check out Louisville at Purdue, Miami at Minnesota and Notre Dame at Michigan State) as well as some snoozers (anyone care about Boston College at Nebraska?).
Here's a breakdown of each game:
Maryland (6-1) at Syracuse (5-0), 6 p.m., ESPN2
Syracuse's winning streak may hinge on the health of leading scorer Tyus Battle (20 points per game), who injured his back against Toledo. The Orange are young but off to a solid start. Maryland is trying to bounce back from a two-point loss to St. Bonaventure in a semifinal of the Emerald Coast Classic. Pick: Syracuse.

Wisconsin (3-3) at Virginia (6-0), 8 p.m., ESPN2
This could be a slug-it-out, first-to-60-wins meeting. The Cavaliers are coming off a Preseason NIT championship, with Isaiah Wilkins — stepson of Dominique — scoring a career-high 19 points in the final against Rhode Island. Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome and Devon Hall are shooting better than 40 percent on 3-pointers. Wisconsin's three losses are against ranked opponents Xavier, Baylor and UCLA. Ethan Happ is averaging 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds. Pick: Virginia.
Northwestern (4-2) at Georgia Tech (3-1), 6 p.m., ESPN2
The Wildcats need to buckle down on defense after allowing Creighton to shoot 51.5 percent and Texas Tech 60.4 percent in losses. The Yellow Jackets lost by three in their opener against UCLA in China. Sophomore guard Justin Moore will return from his two-game suspension. Pick: Northwestern.
Florida State (5-0) at Rutgers (6-0), 6 p.m., ESPNU
[Most read in Sports] A blowout playoff win followed by an interview with the Chicago Bears. For Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, this is the definition of 'strike while the iron is hot.' »
The Scarlet Knights have impressed on defense, holding opponents to 47.2 points per game, and that should lead to a few more Big Ten wins this season. But they'll struggle to contain the Seminoles, who just put up 113 points against the Citadel and have a gifted scorer in junior guard Terance Mann (17 ppg). Pick: Florida State.
Louisville (4-0) at Purdue (5-2), 7 p.m., ESPN
This will be the first road game for the untested Cardinals. They have four players averaging at least 9.5 points per game, led by Deng Adel's 17.5. The Boilermakers had an up-and-down Battle 4 Atlantis, losing to Tennessee and Western Kentucky but hitting 11 of 22 3-pointers in a 25-point win over then-second-ranked Arizona. Pick: Purdue.
Illinois (6-0) at Wake Forest (2-4), 8 p.m., ESPNU
Five Illini are scoring at least 11 points per game. Credit guard Aaron Jordan's breakout (11.8 ppg, 15-for-23 3-pointers) and point guard Te'Jon Lucas' defense for keeping them undefeated against an underwhelming schedule. At least the Illini have defeated their cupcakes, unlike the Demon Deacons, who just granted coach Danny Manning an extension and have lost to Georgia Southern, Liberty, Drake and Houston. Pick: Illinois.

Iowa (4-2) at Virginia Tech (5-1), 8 p.m., ESPN2
The Hawkeyes are learning about life after Big Ten scoring leader Peter Jok. They're young, but sophomores Isaiah Moss (15.8 ppg), Jordan Bohannon (14.5) and Tyler Cook (13.8) are growing. They'll have a hard time containing the Hokies, who have averaged 101 points in their victories. Pick: Virginia Tech.
Clemson (5-1) at Ohio State (5-2), 6:15 p.m., ESPN2
The Tigers, who are shooting 50.4 percent as a team, will try to start 6-1 for the first time since 2009-10. The Buckeyes, coming off an overtime loss to Butler at the Phil Knight Invitational, have seen strong production out of forwards Keita Bates-Diop and Jae'Sean Tate and guard C.J. Jackson. Pick: Ohio State.
Penn State (6-1) at North Carolina State (5-2), 6:15 p.m., ESPNU
[Most read in Sports] The Chicago Bears will interview Ed Dodds for their GM vacancy. Here's what to know about the Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager. »
Are the Wolfpack the team that played with an edge to beat Arizona in the Battle 4 Atlantis? Or the team that followed it with losses to Northern Iowa and Tennessee? The experienced Nittany Lions looked impressive even in their lone loss to Texas A&M, when Tony Carr scored a career-high 31 points. Pick: Penn State.
Michigan (6-1) at North Carolina (5-1), 6:30 p.m., ESPN2
Junior forward Luke Maye is having a breakout season, becoming the first Tar Heel with 100 points and 50 rebounds through five games since Antawn Jamison in 1996-97. The defending national champs can score at will (except against Michigan State apparently). Michigan left the Maui Invitational 2-1, with a loss to LSU and a close victory against VCU. Pick: North Carolina.
Miami (5-0) at Minnesota (7-0), 8:15 p.m., ESPN2
The tough Gophers look Big Ten-ready. They're outrebounding opponents by 8.6 per game and taking 25 free throws per game. (They do need to make more than 67.2 percent of those.) Jordan Murphy is averaging 22 points and 12.3 rebounds — including five offensive boards — per game. Miami has experienced some offensive lulls but is bursting with talent. Pick: Minnesota.

Boston College (5-2) at Nebraska (5-2), 8:15 p.m., ESPNU
The Cornhuskers, who failed to crack 60 points in losses to St. John's and Central Florida, need to find a consistent scorer. The Eagles shot only 5 of 23 on 3-pointers in Saturday's 20-point loss to Providence. We'll give this to the home team. Pick: Nebraska.

Four words: Marvin Bagley the Third. While the Blue Devils have plenty of firepower, the 6-11 freshman forward is making an immediate impact with 21.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game going into Sunday. Indiana coach Archie Miller's Challenge debut couldn't be more daunting. Pick: Duke.

The Irish stunned Wichita State with a wild comeback at the Maui Invitational for the title. Bonzie Colson, Matt Farrell and T.J. Gibbs each average at least 15 points per game. Colson adds 10.5 rebounds, which will present an intriguing post matchup against the Spartans. The deep Spartans are battle-tested, with this already their third ranked opponent. Home court makes the difference. Pick: Michigan State.

'Wild Things' captures imagination and heart
Kristopher A. Fortin
"Where the Wild Things are," the film adapted from the classic children's novel, is an emotionally intricate, funny and playful film that portrays the throes of a child troubled with the changing world around him.
Director Spike Jonze's third film is an emotionally driven film that is challenging, in part because of the intimidating nature of the Wild Things.
The formula of playful interaction between characters, breathtaking cinematography and focused theme creates a children's film with sensitivity and heart.
Set in a snowy suburban neighborhood, Max (Max Records) becomes aware of a shift in his familial relationships and reacts by lashing out. He eventually runs off to a boat that takes him to the land of the Wild Things.
The film is based on the 48-page children's classic by Maurice Sendak. The book's themes of loneliness and growing up are expanded into a more than an hour and a half film.
Although there are moments of sheer beauty in this movie, at times they are inconsistent and too dark. When the Wild Things are introduced, Max finds Carol (James Gandolfini) tearing down the homes of the Wild Things. The rest stand around and passively try to stop him.
The dark scene is contrasted with a moment of joy minutes later as they conclude their wild rumpus with a Wild Things dog pile, and settle down to wish each other a good night.
The soundtrack by Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O and her backing band The Kids fits the film perfectly. The score is an important layer in this film. It fills in the gaps where dialogue would not fit.
The childlike dialogue between the Wild Things and Max was not expected, and at times slowed the film down. If not for the score, the film would have likely come to a screeching halt.
Just like the 1970s classic challenged children and parents years ago, the film version of "Where the Wild Things Are," will leave people feeling the same.
Yet, the film doesn't quite feel just like a kid's film or just like an adult film, but it fits into a gray area that both generations can appreciate.

"All round best suburb in Canberra"
Close to everything, friendly people after living there for 2 years I bought my own place there.
"Growth Suburb in a growth area"
Franklin is the southern most suburb in the Gungahlin area of Canberra. It is a new suburb that has only existed since 2007. The suburb is half parkland and half residential with the streets designed to minimise through traffic. The majority of people buying into the suburb are families with small children, upgraders and some retirees. Most are professionals or semi-professional with a high proportion having a tertiary education. There is a good level of public transport with bus routes going through the suburb and an easy walk to the express bus stop on Flemmington Road. The suburb is mostly flat rising upwards towards the Gungahlin town centre. There is easy access to three major roads and with an extension to Well Station Road to the south it is very easy to get on to the Federal Highway to Sydney. The other roads give easy and rapid access to the CBD, the airport and southern Canberra.The suburb already has fibre optic cable to every house (mandatory). The Gungahlin town centre is a 5 minute drive and has all the primary / essential shopping outlets needed. There are a growing number of cafes but only a few restaurants. There is no 'night life' to speak off. A new secondary college has opened up and a swimming centre is to be built in the near future. An ACT government department will be relocated to the Gungahlin area in the next 5 years and this will bring increased commercial opportunities to the town centre.
