June is used to living some place new every six months or so. Her father's business takes him to a new location requiring June and her mother to trail along. Making friends is not a problem; it's keeping them that is the challenge.
At her latest school June hooks up with Jerry. It seemed like an easy relationship, but now his constant political campaigning for class president is becoming a bit tiresome. She doesn't want to hurt his feelings, but she's really not into him anymore.
Wes is just getting over a break-up and not looking for anyone new so he is surprised when he meets June. The first thing he notices is her eyes. They are an unusual blue and more widely spaced than any eyes he's ever seen.
June's reaction to Wes is similar. She is put off by his shaggy hair and sarcastic attitude. He certainly isn't her idea of a dream date.
June and Wes keep bumping into each other both literally and figuratively. It is their actual head bump collision at the grocery store that has them noticing each other more seriously. Once June realizes the chemistry they have was the thing missing in her relationship with Jerry, she knows she has fallen for Wes. And of course, that's when her father announces his new job will require a move. How can she leave Wes and move to Nebraska? Can their newfound relationship survive the distance?
Pete Hautman creates an unusual teen romance in THE BIG CRUNCH. Definitely not love at first sight, he reveals a more realistic relationship formed over time and against the odds. This story captures the ups and downs a couple might actually face as their relationship develops. Many teens may be ready for this lifelike portrayal of young love.
BASEBALL HEROES features four players who changed the history of baseball. They faced the odds against them to play the game they loved.
Hank Greenberg was born to immigrant parents in New York City. His dream to play baseball almost didn't happen. Being Jewish didn't make him popular with the fans or the other players, but he didn't let that stop him.
Jackie Robinson faced cruel taunts and segregated locker nrooms to become the first African American major league player. He paved the way for huge changes in the way the nation viewed and accepted the talent of African American athletes.
Another player to change the look of major league baseball was Fernando Valenzuela. Born in Mexico, he not only convinced the baseball community that Latinos could contribute to the game, but the resulting "Fernandomania" lead Latinos and Mexican Americans to ball parks across the country.
Ila Borders didn't let being a girl stop her. Her dream was to be a major league pitcher. With her father's help she learned to pitch and what followed was an outstanding high school and college pitching career that convinced several big league teams to give her a chance to live her dream.
Author Glenn Stout takes readers on a tour of some amazing baseball history. He presents the stories of the four players in this compelling and easy to read book. BASEBALL HEROES is one a new series by Stout called GOOD SPORTS. Baseball fans young and old are sure to enjoy it.
SCRAWL is the first hand account of a bully. Tod Munn has finally been caught, and his punishment is a month of after school detention supervised by the school counselor. While he is doing his time, she is requiring him to write in a journal, although Tod prefers to simply call it a notebook.
At first Tod responds to questions and prompts from Mrs. Woodrow, but gradually he writes freely about his escapades, his home life, and his feelings about being viewed at as one of the biggest bullies in the school.
Readers are given a look inside Tod's gang as they steal from and torment their fellow classmates. Tod explains the incident that brought about his punishment, and as the story unfolds, readers will learn facts Tod never really wanted anyone to know. Tod's detention experience helps him recognize his talent for writing as well as another hidden talent he has always taken for granted.
Tod's story is fascinating, but that's not all readers will take away from SCRAWL. Author Mark Shulman creates a voice for Tod that provides humor and language play more mature readers will appreciate. It is refreshing to find an author who challenges YA readers to think as they read.
SCRAWL is perfect for this week, No Name Calling Week, and bringing the issue of bullying to the attention of the teen readers who are often found at the center of this increasing problem.
When their planet was destroyed in a horrible war with the Mogadorians, nine survivors from Lorien were sent to Earth. The hope was that with the help of their Keepers, they would be able to live on Earth until it was safe to return to Lorien.
Of the nine only six remain. Number Four knows that the Mogadorians may be close. One, Two, and Three have been killed which means Four is next.
Number Four and his Cepan, Henri, have spent the last ten years moving frequently to avoid the alien soldiers. Henri believes if they stay in smaller communities, they may be more noticeable, but at the same time, the Mogadorians will also be easier to identify.
Their most recent move has brought them to Paradise, Ohio. Now that Four is in high school life has become more complicated. Not only does he have to try to blend into his new surroundings to avoid suspicion, but he also has to prepare to deal with the appearance of his Legacies. They are the special powers that will soon begin to reveal themselves. The powers could be anything from the ability to become invisible to the power to mentally teleport objects.
This new location is bringing some new challenges. One is Four's sudden desire to fight back when a high school bully starts to push him around. The other new experience involves Sarah; the most beautiful girl Four has ever met. He is really attracted to her and knows the last he wants to do is leave Paradise because of some imagined threat from evil aliens.
I AM NUMBER FOUR is a fantastic sci-fi adventure. Constant action and adventure will entertain readers and have them waiting impatiently for what is sure to be a series of sequels.
If we continue with our wasteful, polluting ways, we might be living on "empty." The residents of Spring Valley may have thought they would always have the luxuries of life, but it is evident now that life has changed even for their exclusive little community.
The world's supply of fossil fuels is almost entirely gone. What little oil is left is the subject of wars around the world. Currently, the U.S. is battling Venezuela for control of its remaining reserves. Meanwhile, in the states there are food shortages due to transportation costs, unreliable electrical power, and gas prices at $50+ per gallon.
As a result of global warming the weather has also gone crazy. Temperatures are unusually cool making some think that the seasons might be reversing. And, to complicate things two recent hurricanes have joined forces to become one meg-ahurricane, wiping out coastal areas and heading farther inland than anyone could ever imagine.
Teens in the Spring Valley area are experiencing how living in this new world will be changing life as they know it. Nicki is used to having the best of everything but now knows the loss of her father's job is going to be one of the easier things to deal with. Tom may be part of the popular crowd at school, but that's not going to keep food on the table and gasoline in his tank. Along with several other teens, they may be able to find a way to begin providing for their community again.
Author Suzanne Weyn gives readers a glimpse of a not too distant future in EMPTY. If we continue to squander our resources, the end may be near. Reading about how these teens deal with their changing surroundings and lifestyle may encourage us to recognize the error of our ways. At least it provides abundant food for thought.
One of Mason's earliest memories is the hideous attack by a neighbor's dog that left him scarred for life. He is used to the stares and sidelong glances he gets wherever he goes.
He is also used to his mother's drinking. At least she has been able to keep her job at a nearby nursing home called Haven of Peace. All Mason knows about his father is the video that shows only the man from the neck down as he reads a bedtime story at his son's bedside. Watching the video is calming, and Mason takes it everywhere he goes.
Life is fairly uneventful until the night Mason visits his mother at work. That's the night he meets the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. The girl and several other young people are sitting in a semi-sleep state on a couch in the area where his mother works. He watches in surprise as she carefully takes their blood pressures. He always thought this was a nursing home for old people. Why are there young people here? Why hasn't his mother ever told him about them?
When the beautiful girl suddenly awakens and seems frightened by her surroundings, Mason reacts. He grabs her and together they leave the nursing home. What follows turns into a race to discover who she is and then figure out how to save her life.
Mason discovers that his life is full of secrets. His mother's previous employer, TroDyn is somehow responsible for whatever is going on with the mysterious, beautiful girl. Mason's attempt to help her may very well bring danger to his mother and him.
Author S.A. Bodeen has crafted an amazing story of one attempt to preserve life for future generations. A note on the cover of THE GARDENER indicates "this greenhouse...grows humans." Bodeen's imagination takes readers into a frightening world where children are grown in an attempt to create humans who can survive and even thrive in the event that the world's food supply runs out. This look at science and technology gone wild will keep readers thinking long after they finish reading.
Who knows what teens like to read better than teens? At least once a week after silent reading time, I ask my 8th graders if anyone has any book suggestions. Today I asked them to recommend books for reluctant readers.
Because I saw a few confused looks, I explained a reluctant reader was someone who wasn't really interested in reading. That generated a few nods and comments. Of course, I know who the reluctant readers in my class are so I was interested to see who headed to the white board to add a title to the list.
Sure enough, those who contributed to the list were mostly students not very likely to pick up a book on their own. What followed was a very respectable list of titles and an interesting conversation from the group crowded around the board. Things like, "Yeah, I remember that one. It was pretty good," and "I really liked that one. You should read it next."
The day Piper arrived at school to witness the winners of the Seattle Teen Battle of the Bands attempting to give an impromptu concert changed her life. Who would have believed that the band's lead vocalist would ask Piper to be the band's manager?
Piper's qualifications for being a rock band manager are basically non-existent. Her major interests are working hard to get straight A's, playing chess with her friend Ed in the school chess club, and making sure she gets home in time for dinner. Another thing that makes it seem a bit strange that she would be tapped as band manager is the fact that Piper is deaf.
Piper was born hearing but around the age of six began to lose her hearing. Now she relies on hearing aids, lip-reading, and signing to understand the world around her. Her dream is to go to Gallaudet University, a college for the deaf. It has always been part of the family plan as well, until her father's company went under and he lost his job. Even with that setback, Piper knew she had a college fund started by her grandparents. At least that's what she was counting on until her parents decided to use a huge chunk of that college fund to pay for the cochlear implant for her hearing impaired little sister.
Getting involved with the band is Piper's chance to fit in for the first time and maybe make a little money for her college dreams. Now she is trying to get two brothers, a girl with spiky hair and multiple piercings, and the most popular girl in school to achieve musical success.
Debut YA author Antony John mixes colorful characters, rocky family relationships, temperamental musicians, and a bit of rock and roll history to create a true reading adventure. Teens with their own music dreams will quickly be drawn into Piper's story. John handles Piper's disability with a directness and humor that will inspire readers to push toward their goals no matter what.
MAUS is the story of one man's survival during the Holocaust. The unique thing is that the story is told in graphic novel format. Author Art Spiegelman tells his father's story in gut-wrenching detail but slightly softens the blow by using animals as characters - the Jews are portrayed by mice, the Nazis by cats, etc.
Artie, as his father calls him, wants to tell his father's story, but first he has to listen. Visit after visit Vladek slowly reveals what transpired in Poland from the beginning of the war until the day he and his wife entered the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Vladek shares his memories of meeting Artie's mother and about their courtship and marriage. He tells of his beginnings in the textile business and of the good life it provided for them as a young couple. Then he describes the changes that began for them. The remainder of the tale is filled with talk of daily survival, hiding in crowded, tiny spaces, making do with next to nothing, and living in constant fear of discovery that would result in certain imprisonment or death.
Intertwined in the historical events is evidence of the strained relationship between father and son. Vladek's old world views clash with Artie's more modern, carefree lifestyle. The mix of old and young along with father and son give the book a kind of story-within-a-story appeal.
Readers interested in Holocaust history will want to check this one out and also the second book - MAUS II: AND HERE MY TROUBLES BEGAN.
Seventeen year old Cassia is excited. She is about to attend her Match Banquet which means she will soon know who the Society believes is her perfect Match. Life is so simple now that the Officials make all the important choices for people.
In Cassia's world people are assigned to an occupation, provided with meals filled with nutrients designed for their individual needs, and encouraged to enjoy the hundred best movies, songs, poems, and stories selected by the Officials when they want to relax. The Officials have even determined that age eighty is the perfect age to die. Cassia and her family attend her grandfather's Final Banquet to celebrate his life and be there for his death.
All seems normal to Cassia until she is Matched with Xander. It is somewhat of a surprise since Xander lives nearby and is someone Cassia has always known. Usually matches are made between people separated by great distances so that they must first visit virtually until a face-to-face meeting at a later date. Although she is extremely happy about being Matched with Xander, Cassia is now aware of another young man named Ky. He has not always been around, but circumstances keep putting the two of them together at school and at the recreation center. Ky knows things that Cassia thought no one was allowed to learn anymore, and as he shares his knowledge she finds herself wanting to know more.
Her growing friendship with Ky is making Cassia more and more aware of what was available in the past before Society made life simple. The more she learns, the more Cassia begins to believe the Officials don't know what is best for everyone. She also learns she may not be alone in those thoughts.
Much like in Lois Lowry's THE GIVER, author Ally Condie explores the idea of a world controlled by powerful officials who lead the average citizen to believe they know what is best. Readers will be fascinated by this future world, but also disgusted and even frightened by the idea of losing all personal control.

Can a science fair project change your life? One high school student named Cat would say, "Yes, indeed".
Cat lives for science, and being part of Mr. Fizer's advanced science class will give her the opportunity to create the winning science fair project she has always dreamed about. Although, she is excited, she is also scared to death. Everyone knows that Mr. Fizer requires his students to blindly select a picture and then develop a project based on something that picture represents. What picture would she choose?
When Cat sees her picture, she panics. It is a picture of the first man, Homo erectus. Actually, it is a picture of ancient men and women battling a pack of hyenas for the remains of a dead deer. Cat can't believe her reaction to the picture. She notices a woman brandishing a club and immediately wishes she had a body that looked that good. It is that thought that sparks an idea for her science project.
Cat's objective will be to prove that the current state of our health is directly related to the evolution of our diet, daily activity, and the advent of technology. She plans to use herself as a test subject. Will she be able to give up her beloved junk food, TV, cell phone, and internet? Is it possible to turn her previous lazy lifestyle into a more active one, and will it result in weight loss and a chance to feel pretty for the first time in her life?
Author Robin Brande takes readers on an adventure with Cat that proves if we change our lifestyle, we will change more than just our looks. The adjustments Cat makes in her life-long habits have an incredible impact on her life and relationships. What started out as a way to win a science competition, turns into much, much more. Any reader who has ever struggled with the dreaded science fair project or with issues of weight will enjoy FAT CAT.

Rowdy and his brother Moo are 6-year-old Nigerian Dwarf goats who did not have socialization with other goats for most of their lives. They were surrendered to a wonderful farm sanctuary who had a sudden change in their financial status. Also, due to their lack of social skills, the twins were being bullied by a horse and other goats at the sanctuary. For these reasons, it was decided that Heartland was the best place for Rowdy and Moo. We are happy to help out a fellow sanctuary by easing their financial difficulties, and we are fortunate to have experienced volunteers who can spend time socializing the boys with the Heartland goat and sheep crew. They are already fitting in great!
Rowdy and Moo are attached at the hip and LOVE people. They are super friendly, curious, and mischievous!

Worcester’s own J.P. Ricciardi joined ESPN as a “Baseball Tonight” analyst this spring after being relieved of his role as Toronto Blue Jays General Manager. The St. Peter’s High School star and West Boylston resident has spent three decades in baseball as a front office executive, scout, minor league manager and player. While ESPN’s press relations staff wouldn’t let him divulge whether Stuart Scott or Chris Berman is more annoying in person, they did allow him to take a few other cuts.
How’s the transition to media member gone for you? Used to TV makeup yet?
It’s been great.  The people at ESPN have been outstanding.  I’ve had a chance to work with some very talented people.  I didn’t have much TV experience before ESPN, but they’ve made it easy for me to step right in.
Do you hope to be back in the front office of a MLB team next year?
I don’t have a timetable.  I’m really enjoying myself at ESPN, and we’ll see what comes down the road.  If there is a front office position which is appealing to me, I’ll look into it, but I’m really enjoying my current role with ESPN.
Which GM in baseball did the best job for his team this year?
Jon Daniels with the Texas Rangers because they were able to acquire Cliff Lee and add a few other pieces without surrendering much payroll.
OK, you’ve got be Red Sox GM here for a minute: Re-sign Adrian Beltre after this season if he requires a 4 or 5-year deal? What about Victor Martinez?
Both are very good players and they can be assets to your club.  I’d entertain bringing both back, but the market will dictate the deal lengths.  It largely depends on who else is out there as a potential suitor and their offers during the free agency process.
Central Mass seems to keep producing good young baseball players. Is there something unique going on here?
Central Massachusetts has always been a baseball area.  Baseball has traditionally been the No. 1 sport.  There are very good Little League, High School and AAU programs in the area, as we’re continuing to see good players come from this area.
Favorite spots in Worcester to catch a game?
My house.  I really enjoy being at home, watching all sorts of sports with my sons.  We watch anything and everything.  The first thing we turn on each morning is SportsCenter.
Ever run into the Philly Phanatic or San Diego Chicken in the ESPN bathroom?
No, but the first meeting I attended at ESPN was a who’s who in entertainment and sports.  Nearly every on-air person at ESPN was there, covering all sport categories.  ESPN is a great avenue to pick people’s brains to discuss how things cross over to all sports, not just baseball.

What a crazy few weeks it has been for Hollywood. As we all know, directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller were shockingly fired from Disney's still-untitled Han Solo project a few weeks ago. It was shocking because they were already several months into filming the new Star Wars Story movie, with only a couple of weeks remaining. Lucasfilm eventually announced that Ron Howard had been hired to replace them. Lord & Miller aren't the first directors to not work well within the studio system as of late. Jon Favreau, Edward Norton, Patty Jenkins and Edgar Wright have all faced similar problems in recent years. So, are auteur filmmakers doomed? Let's take a look at why studios like Disney & Marvel still need auteur filmmakers.
It's no secret now that Lord & Miller were unceremoniously fired by Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy when they couldn't work out their creative differences. There's been a flood of reports from such publications as The Hollywood Reporter explaining what exactly happened behind-the-scenes, going into detail describing a clash of filmmaking ideologies. Lord & Miller prefer a more improvisational approach, whereas Kennedy and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan who prefer to stick to the what's on the page. Without going too much into analyzing the debacle, one can't help but wonder: Why weren't these differences spotted beforehand?
Auteur filmmakers and film studios have always clashed. It's a merging of two potentially unstable elements that sometimes don't mix well together, like Michael Bay and thematic cohesion. However, when they do merge successfully, you have a brilliant formula for success. Look at Christopher Nolan (and his Dark Knight trilogy), Bryan Singer (with the X-Men films), David Gordon Green (with Pineapple Express), and Patty Jenkins (with Wonder Woman). Not every filmmaker is meant for the big studio system where he or she must single-handedly command hundreds of crew members, oversee thousands of visual effects and report to numerous producers and executives who want to make sure the movie is the "best" it can be.
Which is why it makes sense that some studios would be hesitant about working with them at all. There was an interesting report recently that Warner Bros is considering avoiding working with "auteur directors" all together. What does that mean moving forward? Well, studio favorites like Christopher Nolan and Clint Eastwood are safe. However, under new executive Toby Emmerich's reign, it may be a bit more difficult for newcomers to make a name for themselves at Warner Bros. For a big studio like Disney and Marvel, they have already struggled over the years to keep their own reign on auteur filmmakers from literally jumping ship. Sometimes mid-cruise, too. Which has been considerably odd for a studio that leapt out of the gate being a home to indie filmmakers, and in some ways still is.
When Marvel Studios was launched, executive Kevin Fiege had a clear mission statement. He wanted to treat the characters in the Marvel pantheon with respect by staying close to the source material. He also wanted to find filmmakers that had a clear, singular voice. When Jon Favreau was hired for Iron Man, he was an unconventional choice at the time. He had never directed a blockbuster film before, with the indie hit Swingers as his biggest call to fame. Favreau would later hire another huge risk, Robert Downey Jr., for the title role. Downey was known more for his drinking mishaps than his professional achievements at the time. The film even went into production without a completed script. All in all, the film looked doomed.
However, Iron Man soared - not despite all of these elements, but because of them. It was a gamble that paid off for the studio big time. Marvel Studios should be given credit where credit is due. They are known for continuously gambling on indie filmmakers, such as James Gunn, Taika Waititi, Anthony & Joe Russo, Jon Watts, Ryan Coogler, and the list continues on. Sometimes the gamble pays off, and sometimes it doesn't. When Marvel Studios debuted Iron Man in the summer of 2008 it was so popular and successful that The Incredible Hulk, which was also released that summer, was sadly overlooked. The movie in many ways became the studio's rotten, often forgotten stepchild. Even though The Incredible Hulk was coming off the success of Iron Man, the film never quite reached Iron Man's soaring heights of success. It was not a smash hit with critics, receiving a lukewarm response from most of them. It also barely made any green at the box office, not even making back its budget domestically.
The Incredible Hulk was also coming right after Ang Lee's experimental misfire Hulk movie just five years before. That film, which garnered an even more divisive response from critics but made around the same money, was considered too avant-garde by some fans with its comic-book style panels and close-ups of algae. In order to differentiate this version from Lee's movie, Feige hired director Louis Leterrier - most well known at the time for his action movies such as The Transporter - to direct the re-imagining. Leterrier and Marvel would go on to cast someone who became far more critical to the film's success, however: they would end up casting Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk.
Edward Norton's casting would become both the film's saving grace, as well as this version of the character's middling crutch. For those unfamiliar with the actor, Norton has a reputation around Hollywood for taking his roles very seriously. For him, taking on the role of Bruce Banner wasn't just another job – it was much more than that. So much more that he took it upon himself to re-write Zak Penn's original script, even though he would never receive such a credit by the Writer's Guild of America. Make no mistake, however. The Incredible Hulk is very much Edward Norton's movie.
I've read Norton's draft of the screenplay. It is one of the best screenplays for any superhero film I've ever read. It also features many great scenes fleshing out Banner's character that were unfortunately cut from the theatrical release. Marvel and Universal Pictures (the studio distributing the film) included some of those scenes on the DVD and Blu-ray of the film, but not all of them are on the disc. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice greatly benefited from an extended cut and so would The Incredible Hulk. However, it wouldn't be a Director's Cut if the studio ever did release an extended cut of the film. If anything, it would be an "Actor's Cut". Such a cut of the film will likely never happen, as Edward Norton parted ways with Marvel when negotiations broke down for The Avengers. This is where Marvel has been criticized in the past.
For all its bruises, The Incredible Hulk still remains one of Marvel Studios' best films. The Incredible Hulk works so well because it has a clear focus on the characters as well as the narrative of the film. When a filmmaker or storyteller is given free reign to tell the story they want to tell, the results usually speak for themselves. When you have a filmmaker that is forced to include thematic elements to set up future installments, such as Jon Favreau on Iron Man 2, the results speak for themselves in a different way. You end up with a film that feels haphazardly put together, without any clear focus or narrative pull. Favreau cited his contentious relationship with Marvel as a reason why he left Iron Man 3 to direct Cowboys & Aliens. Favreau was just one of many Marvel filmmakers to jump the helicarrier.
At one point, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was set to helm Thor: The Dark World. However, she would later part ways with Marvel, once more citing creative differences. She would later go on to direct Wonder Woman to overwhelming success, being the first female director to helm such a high grossing film. Jenkins wouldn't be the last filmmaker to depart a Marvel production far into the creative process. For years, Edgar Wright was set to co-write and direct an adaptation of Ant-Man for Marvel Studios. The film experienced many delays over the years as Wright went on to direct three other films and Marvel readjusted their schedule. When Wright came back to gear up Ant-Man for production, however, he discovered Marvel wanted to rewrite his screenplay without him. As someone who has written and directed all of his films, Wright naturally took issue with all of the sudden being a "director for hire."
Edgar Wright's recent comments on why he left Ant-Man seem to indicate Marvel can be at times much more invested in seeing their own stories told, versus letting filmmakers do what they were hired to do in the first place: tell the story themselves, with their own vision. "I wanted to make a Marvel movie", Wright explains, "but I don't think they really wanted to make an Edgar Wright movie."
Marvel Studios knew what they were getting into when they hired Edgar Wright. He has a very clear, singular vision as a filmmaker. Which made his departure from Ant-Man so peculiar, given how Wright was working on the film on-and-off for several years. It will be interesting to see how studios like Marvel and Disney – and given how Marvel is currently owned by Disney, maybe just Disney – handle these situations from here on out. Will they continue to seek out auteurs like Edward Norton, Edgar Wright, and Lord & Miller? Or will they stick to industry veterans, such as Ron Howard? Howard, after all, was hired to replace Lord & Miller on the Han Solo movie precisely because his reassuring hand would be a calming presence for what has become a tumultuous production. And I'm still very curious to see how it turns out anyway.
Sometimes it is hard to tell when something won't work out. Lucasfilm and Kennedy experienced a similar situation with Gareth Edwards and Rogue One last year. Edwards was willing to be cooperative with Kennedy's plan to reshoot at least forty percent of the film. It seems like Lord & Miller, however, were not as cooperative. On paper, it sounds like there's a recurring problem behind the scenes at Lucasfilm, perhaps even with Kennedy's leadership as president of the company. However, if that's the case, there's a real problem with Kevin Feige's leadership as directors have been jumping ship with far more frequency than anyone working for Kennedy. If anything, it sheds light on an awful double standard in this industry.
For every Christopher Nolan or Patty Jenkins, there's going to be a Lord & Miller or Edgar Wright. Wright seems to be doing pretty well these days. His latest film, Baby Driver, has been getting rave reviews. It is quite likely Lord & Miller's improvisational style wasn't right for the movie Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote. Wright seems to be better off doing his own thing, and Hollywood finally gave Patty Jenkins the perfect project to let her talents shine. It doesn't mean that studios, especially ones such as Disney and Marvel, need to stop working with auteur directors all together. It just means studios need to make sure the shoe fits a little bit before a director call "Action!" What do you think? Does Hollywood still need auteurs?

I quit a book the other day.
I’ve seen Harlan Coben books everywhere, but I had never looked at one. At the library, I picked up the audiobook version of “Six Years,” read by Scott Brick (who I think has done a great job with Justin Cronin’s “The Passage” and “The Twelve”).
I only made it through the first disc.
The novel’s title “Six Years” refers to the length of time from when the narrator, Jake, attends his ex-lover’s wedding to when he reads of her husband’s death (and attends the funeral). He reads the obituary, and then he attends the funeral and is surprised to find out that the dead husband was a doctor, had a teenage son, and his wife was some other woman instead of Jake’s ex-lover.
Here’s the problem: those facts (that he was a doctor, his wife’s name being different from the name of his ex-lover) are all things that should’ve been part of the obituary. Sure, I’ve worked in journalism for many years, and maybe that gives me a specialist’s knowledge about how a professional would write an obituary. Though I’m pretty sure most people would expect that kind of information. So it made me not trust this book. After all, Jake’s surprise – his need to get to the truth of the matter – seems to be the main engine of the book. But because it required him to go to this funeral, even though the obituary should’ve given him the same surprising information, the contrivance of the plot revealed itself too me far too readily.
Have you quit a book because the author tried, and failed, to use something in your area of expertise?

In today's edition of The Guardian, Clive James reflects on why he thinks, even forty years after his first appearance there, he still has something to bring to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Forty years ago, he blew into Edinburgh with a jazz and poetry show. Now Clive James is back. But is the old magic still there?
Preparing for a week of solo evenings on the Fringe, I check myself out in the mirror. What have I got to offer? Well, physically not a lot. When Hitler conducted a similar self-examination before his next big speech at Nuremberg, he could at least see a pair of sharply focused eyeballs staring back at him, and his moustache had not yet lost its vibrancy. No part of my face remains vibrant. There are veteran quinces with more magnetism. But it won't matter as long as I can still talk.
Talking solo for an hour on your feet is usually called standup, and right there is the first source of fear. The term "standup" is reserved for comedians, and nowadays there are hundreds of them, most of them so technically proficient that they can spend 55 minutes telling the story of what they had for breakfast while they roam the stage like wild animals. The last five minutes is consumed by the apocalyptic applause of the audience, uniformly hoarse from too much laughter. Gasping people clap until their hands bleed while the standup comedian sticks the microphone in his mouth and imitates a blender. I can't beat that. My only hope is to do something else.
Back in the late 1950s, when I first started paying attention to this kind of thing, there were about half a dozen people in the world who could just go on and talk. Mostly they sat on a bar stool, so it wasn't, strictly speaking, standup. Mort Sahl, my favourite, just talked about life but put a twist on it. Eventually he disappeared into the mists of conspiracy theory, but he had already been outflanked by another American, Jonathan Winters, who could use the microphone to imitate a tortoise crossing a freeway. Standup took off irretrievably into the realm of pure comedy. The subject mattered less and less, the continuous laughter more and more. You won't catch me knocking that, but you won't catch me trying it, either. I want to talk seriously. I just don't want to get lynched while I'm doing so. How to avoid that is the question.
I started looking for the answer about 40 years ago, in Edinburgh. A Cambridge Footlights revue that I had directed was a hit on the Fringe, partly because I had been sensible enough not to include myself in the cast, who were all a lot funnier than I was. Hungry for a share of the limelight, I staged a poetry and jazz show in the afternoons, with all the jazz devoted to backing my poems and all the talking done by myself. In the evenings, our venue was packed for the revue. In the afternoons, a thin scattering turned up to hear me. They had their priorities right, but I couldn't help noticing that when I went off script and improvised, there was a rapport. The rapport was especially intense with a small woman in the third row who wore two overcoats at once and followed me around for several days reciting her own poems to me while running to keep up. I had also, however, got the occasional laugh from the normal people. Nothing to shake the rafters, but still it was heady wine.
The addiction had taken hold, and in subsequent decades I slowly got better at holding an audience just by talking to them. The scariest part is that you can always tell when you aren't holding them. They start to cough, first individually, then in chorus. Finally they are being conducted by Toscanini. The only way to stave off the coughs is to say something interesting. For that, part of the secret is confidence. You have to believe that what you're saying is worth the crowd's time. It's a hard ask, when you consider that even Mark Antony needed Caesar's corpse for a prop. The other part of the secret is to pack the line. As on the page, what you say on stage should give value for money, bringing a lot in. I learned something about how to do that when things went haywire in the TV studio and I felt bound to keep the studio audience entertained until the glitch was repaired. A warm-up man usually does that job, but I thought we could save a salary if I did it. To my delight, I found that the audience sometimes relished what the people at home weren't getting. When I finally left mainstream television at the beginning of the current millennium, I went in search of stage audiences who might feel the same.
One of those audiences was in Edinburgh. At the Pleasance, I did an hour with Pete Atkin, with whom I write songs. A whole new generation had grown to maturity since I was last on stage in Edinburgh. In the courtyard of the Pleasance, my daughter's boyfriend was running the World's Smallest Cinema, which could hold an audience of two people. All the same old mad stuff was happening but most of the people were different, and I wondered, when I went on for the first show, whether time hadn't left me behind. The audience in Edinburgh, if you can pull them into the tent, is in search of adventure, but there are limits - and we were a pair of old timers, neither of whom resembled Russell Brand. Yet things went gratifyingly well. It was no surprise in Pete's case: he'd been working the clubs for years. But I surprised myself out of my skin. The only man who coughed while I was talking had a genuine case of emphysema. I had no guarantee, however, that I could get away with it all on my own.
Literary festivals supplied some of the evidence that I might. An hour on your feet at a literary festival is usually far removed from standup, and most writers very sensibly don't try to put on a show. If VS Naipaul started telling tall stories about Ravi Shankar, you'd be worried. But the opportunity to do something other than a straight reading is always there. Over the course of five years or so I tried to develop the author's standard hour into a performance. Cheltenham was a good venue for that, but the best of all, once again, was in Edinburgh, at the Book festival, where an hour in the big tent turned out to be a hot gig, as they say in the trade. Armed with this new knowledge - I won't call it expertise, because half the time I still didn't know what I was doing - I undertook a tour of Australia last year, playing a total of 30 solo dates all over the country. Finally, I went on alone at the Sydney Opera House. The joint was full and it must have worked, because next day I was still in one piece. To disappoint that many Aussies all at once is never wise.
Time, then, to bring the idea back to where it started, under the shadow of Edinburgh Castle while the city teems with ticket-buyers and every spare room in town is a squat for the young and hungry. The only justification for taking some of their limelight is that you, too, are convinced that you are at the start of something. In the afternoons, I'll be hosting conversations on stage with some of the festival's stars, which isn't quite the cinch it looks, but after 20 years of doing the same sort of thing on television I would deserve punishment if I couldn't bring if off. In the evenings, though, I'll be going on alone. And it still feels like the start of something new. For one thing, it's something the young can't do, because they haven't lived long enough to reflect on the experience of growing older. But I'm not just after the sigh of recognition from older people in the audience when I make cracks about how I can't get out of my front door without forgetting my Freedom Pass. I want to tell the younger generation about how time will happen to them, and they're lucky if it does. Will they listen? Will they even turn up? Only one way to find out.

The Guardian article sounds as if written by someone who knows the songs well enough to make a reference to one of them?
Been enjoying "The Road of Silk" and "Secret Drinker" today - love "The Wall of Death" "I See the Joker" (makes me think of Big Ger Cafferty in Ian Rankin's Rebus stories) and "Rain-Wheels".
Clive James is convinced that one of the many sketches he directed for the Cambridge Footlights revue at the Edinburgh Fringe 40 years ago was at least the equal of Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch.
"I actually think it was the best sketch ever," he says, freighting that familiar Australian drawl of his with just enough mischief to make him sound self-mocking.
"Slow Motion Wrestling" involved the enactment of a wrestling match "as if the whole thing was happening in freeze-frame", he explains, with even the referee barking instructions at a grotesquely slowed-down rate. It was, he remembers, "screamingly funny".
As he recalls in his memoir of his Cambridge days, May Week Was in June, with a typically erudite flourish: "It was a piece of sculpture extended into time, an elastic Laocoön, a brawl by Balanchine. Nothing could justify so much effort, and that was its justification."

If you or someone you love has suffered an injury in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, consulting with a premises liability lawyer is the best way to make sure your rights remain protected.
The most common types of premises liability claims arise from slip and falls and trip and falls. These accidents occur when a person falls on a property owned by another person or company. Slip, trip and falls can happen anywhere – in parking lots, grocery stores, gas stations, malls and even on private property. Premises liability accidents can lead to serious physical injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord trauma, brain injuries, neck and back injuries and even wrongful death. These injuries can alter a person’s entire life and can result in the loss of employment, the loss of mobility, costly medical bills and permanent pain and suffering and disability.
Simply put, if a property owner fails to fix or provide ample warning about a dangerous condition on their property, they can be held responsible if a person slips and falls or trips and falls on their property and is injured.

On December 12 2012, the Robert Graves Elementary School PTO hosted a joint meeting with the Anna Devine PTA. Parents had an informal Q & A session with Superintendent Paul Padalino about the redistricting process. The following informational summary is provided for parents who were unable to attend the meeting.
One of the most popular questions related to when teachers will know the school they will be assigned to teach at during the 2013-2014 school year.
Many of the parents’ questions related to how bus times would be handled. Parents expressed concern about this period of unstructured time.
1. Transportation is contracted out to vendors. They are responsible for the hiring and staffing of school buses.
2. Transportation routes are 50% complete.
3. Video monitors will be installed on every bus as a deterrent to misbehavior.
4. Bus monitors will not be used on a regular basis but may be used in special circumstances.
5. The District hopes to pilot the Peaceful Bus program this Spring.
6. There will not be separate buses for students in Grades 5 and 6.
7. Parents of Bailey students are encouraged to send students on the bus rather than drop them off due to limited space for vehicles.
An article about the Peaceful Bus Program is available here. Additional info about the Peaceful Bus program is available here.
“Your fifth grade student will not have seven teachers,” Dr. Padalino assured parents. Currently, the District is researching having teams of either two teachers or four teachers for Grade 5 and 6 students.
1. The District will provide professional development for Middle Level educators who will be teaching Grade 5 students.
2. Students will continue to have recess.
3. When students do change classes, they will primarily be in the same wing of the building, with the exception of special area classes like physical education and art.
4. On average, class sizes in Grades K-2 will be in the 19- 22 student rang, and classes in Grades 3-4 have around 25 students.
1. Will students and parents have the opportunity to meet next year’s teacher during the current school year? Yes. More information will be provided after February.
2. Will band be offered to third grade students? It is possible – it is part of the scheduling process.
3.If New York State decides to extend the school year by 300 hours, will this impact our students next year? No.
4. Will there be “Art on a Cart”? No.
5. Will intramurals be offered to Grade 5 students? Yes.
6. Three schools have fourth grade students who will move to a new school next year, and then to Middle School. What extra support will be offered to these students? With redistricting, support staff (such as school psychologists) will be centrally located instead of traveling between buildings, offering more support opportunities for students. Principals will also be responsible for ensuring these students get the support they need.
7. Will seats be assigned in the cafeteria? This is a school management decision and is the responsibility of each principal. It is possible seats will be assigned, but students will have flexibility to request switching cafeterias.
8. Will special education students be returned to their home schools? As much as possible, yes.
9. Will there be diversity in both middle schools? Yes.
•January-June 2013: Graves and Anna Devine grades K-3 students will participate in a Pen Pal program connecting students of the same grade together from both schools.
•June 6: Anna Devine grades K-3 students and their teachers will visit Graves Elementary for the morning and during the lunch blocks to visit classrooms, tour the building and enjoy a barbeque lunch and recess with the Graves students. More details will be shared later in the school year.
•Spring 2013: The Anna Devine PTA will sponsor a “Garden Replanting Event.” Volunteers will be needed to transplant perennial flowers, trees and bushes from our school garden, to the garden at Graves Elementary. More details will be shared later in the school year.

On 24th January 2019 Year 2 held a Writing and Reading workshop for parents.
The workshop focused on the key areas of writing and reading that Year 2 children needed to know by the end of the year and that parents could support them with.
For writing the workshop covered checking writing made sense, using different punctuation (including question and exclamation marks) correctly, using phonics to sound out spellings and the importance of writing cursively.
For reading the workshop covered the two levels: decoding and comprehension, talking about how important it was for the children to comprehend what they had read in different ways.
These areas were also linked to the Year 2 SATs with practice questions and examples given to show parents what they can expect from the test papers. This information was given to help parents support their children at home.
The slides from the workshop are attached and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your Year 2 teacher.

US elections are so brutal that even very negative attack adverts often pass without comment. Consider then, that this ad for Democrat Dr. David Brill has gone viral for how harsh it is.
Paul Gosar, a Republican Congressman from the party’s most conservative wing, is standing for re-election in November.
Gosar is a controversial character, amongst other things, he’s been accused of tacit racism and not-so-tacit racism.
Some of Gosar’s family are so appalled by the words and actions of their relative that they have endorsed his Democratic opponent.
At first this spot looks and sounds like the vast majority of political adverts that litter local cable stations in the USA: talking-heads making poisonous remarks about a candidate.
But the rug pull in this ad is that the candidate the talking heads are trashing is one of their own (not-so-dear) relatives.
So brutal in fact, that I wonder if this might backfire.
It’s difficult to know without being more familiar with the local context, but it’s hard to imagine how an attack as close to the bone as this – without any humour or levity – won’t leave a bitter taste in some voters’ mouths.

Bangalore: Bangalore-based Sumadhura Group, one of South India’s leading realty majors, organized a major ‘Waste-to-Energy’ drive near Sumadhura Eden Garden, one of their 14-acre ongoing projects. Through this initiative nearly 3 tonnes of wet-waste would be converted into reusable energy, eliminating almost 1100 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission every year. In lieu of the humongous amount of waste that’s generated in the city of Bangalore, the company as part of their social responsibility to achieve zero waste, took a definitive step towards converting the waste generated at the Sumadhura Community along with the other residents of Whitefield into sustainable energy. Through this initiative, nearly 420 units of electricity would be generated every day, which would further lead to about 1, 50,000 units every year.
The company took the pledge to eliminate waste entirely from their operations and committed to reduce, reuse and recycle; encouraging their staff as well as their residential communities to follow suit and be more responsible as citizens.
“We want to ensure that wet-waste from the communities will not contribute to the landfills, and instead gets converted to energy in a plant close to one of our projects. A city like Bangalore, battling garbage problem daily, needs more Waste-to-Energy initiatives as it could be a viable solution to ease the burden,” he further added.
In this endeavor, Sumadhura Group has partnered with ‘GPS Renewables’, arguably the first viable Waste-to- Energy solution for urban establishment. It is simple to install and feedstock flexibility ensures that there is greater tolerance for uninterrupted operations with no smell or output slurry disposal issues.
The key challenges in waste management in Bangalore has been Garbage segregation at source, collection, transportation and garbage disposal. While decentralized Waste-to-Energy project practically closes the ‘waste generation – landfilling’ loop for all Sumadhura residential projects in Whitefield, it also creates awareness among the inhabitants of these communities that the builder is taking extended responsibility for zero-waste. This can help create a ripple effect in moving towards better segregation, recycling and reducing waste.

Deloitte prepared predictions in the field of development of IT-technologies and telecommunications. The main trends of these markets, in opinion of analysts of Deloitte, will be rapid development of the system of mobile payments on the base of NFC-technology (Near Field Communications), limitation of volumes of data transfer (the end of the epoch of unlimited Internet), as well as dynamic growth of the market of tablet PCs.
“By the end of 2013 the number of devices with built-in NFC-technology, will, probably, sharply grow — to 300 million units. Therefore, the important task of cellular operators will be helping buyers in overcoming fear before the use of telephones for payments for goods. Even if 2012 will appear to be only transitional in introduction of the systems of mobile payments, there is a great number of other fields where NFC-technology could be used: from gambling and videogames to healthcare”, consider in Deloitte. The prediction of limitation of volumes of data transfer, according to Deloitte, is explained by the fact that “generosity” of providers in granting unlimited traffic becomes economically unjustified - the volumes of data transfer grow faster then networks themselves, and due to this they should be artificially restrained. “By the end of this year, at least 20 providers, that render services to more than 100 million users in five countries (it constitutes about 20% of 500 million users of broadband networks all over the world) may introduce monthly data rate limits”, assure in the company.
Referring to the growth of the number of tablets per capita, the experts of Deloitte adhere to the formula “two tablets in one hands”. “In 2012 users that already have a tablet will purchase about 5 million tablets and revenue from such sales will reach $2 biilion”, said in the report.
But Ukrainian IT & telecomm experts look at the conclusions of analysts of Deloitte skeptically enough: though with the prediction of demand on tablets they are partly agree, restriction of unlimited access and NFC-technology, in the best case, will only begin to appear in our country next year.
“Services, based on the use of devices with built-in NFC-technology will begin their development on the Ukrainian market not earlier then in 2013, in spite of tendencies on other markets, including neighbouring Russia. This is connected both with certain technological unreadyness of the Ukrainian market and lack of interest among market players to invest in development of this direction. But it could be confidently said that this year services of mobile and electronic payments will continue to develop in Ukraine”, said the analysts of the “Astelit” (TM Life) company.
At present cutting access to the unlimited Internet doesn’t correspond to the interest of Ukrainian providers. It’s due to the fact that now to the global network is connected less than half of population of Ukraine, and, accordingly, operators are advantageous to offer good tariffs and unlimited Internet for attracting new subscribers, simultaneously investing in technologies, development of networks and coverage of new territories.
In relation to demand on tablets, Ukrainian experts have different opinions. Andriy Oksenyuk, senior manager of Deloitte’s representative office in Ukraine, insists that demand on consumer technique, in spite of economic difficulties, is preserved, and in 2012 the new jump of user interest will take place, especially for tablets. But operators of the computer market, globally confirming the demand growth tendency, disagree with enhanced interest of Ukrainians to tablets.
According to y GFK data for the Q3 2011 (at the moment this data is the most fresh), the sales of tablets constituted only miserable share of the general volume of computer sales: in Q3 2011 it was sold 479.3 thousand notebooks (+64% as compared with the previous quarter) and only about 20 thousand tablets. But, it’s true, that tablets showed better growth rate - 105% as compared with the previous quarter. This trend is confirmed as well in the Diawest company, which in 2011 had sales of tablets even worse than expected.
“In fact there is practically no growth of sales of computers and notebooks in Europe and America. Therefore, the new complementing them gadget was released. In Ukraine at the moment the number of PCs isn’t too great to allow people buying additional devices to them. Certainly, there is a segment of well-off buyers that can afford themselves such a gadget. But prediction “two tablets in one hands” for our country is strongly exaggerated”, marks Anatoliy Balyuk, COB of the group of companies “DiaWest – Computer world”.
On the whole, according to evaluation of market participants, by the end of 2012 in Ukraine is expected growth of tablet volume sales by 40% — to 100 thousand tablets, or 500 million UAH.
However on the Ukrainian market exist own, not noticed by the “global look” of Deloitte, trends.
«It doesn’t practically have any information concerning cloud technologies, although it is the hottest subject in a corporate segment. Data of this prediction in relation to development of wireless technologies and mobile payments will be actual for Ukraine not earlier than 2020”, - darkly sums up Yuri Piddubnyak, marketing director of De-Novo.

Katy Perry’s NSFW music video for “Bon Appétit,” featuring Migos, has arrived, and it turns up the heat — literally.
The video puts the pop star at the center of a meal, as chefs cover her in flour and vegetables, place her in a broth of some kind, boil her, baste her, chop off her luscious blonde locks, and more — shoutout to chef Roy Choi, who gives his sign-off on the meal before Perry is taken over to a dining table. She lays down with garnishes covering her, thus appearing very appetizing to a seemingly hungry crowd.
Presentation is everything, right, foodies? But the tables quite literally turn at the ring of a bell. That’s about all we can say without saying too much, so just be sure to watch the video — directed by Dent De Cuir and available above — through to the surprise ending. In the meantime, check out Perry’s tease that things might not be what they initially seem.
What’s more, you can watch Perry’s live stream (with a cameo from her adorable pup, Nugget) in celebration of the new release, in which she answers fan questions.
We love how Perry continues to reinvent herself with her music and subsequent videos — and can’t get enough of “Bon Appétit”!

Individual results may vary, but BELOTERO BALANCE may last about 6 months or more.5 Some factors that affect how long Belotero treatment lasts are the amount of product used and the area it is injected into. In areas that experience a lot of movement due to eating, talking, and smiling, the product may not last as long as other less active areas.
Just as wrinkles and folds vary from face to face, so does the amount of BELOTERO BALANCE needed per treatment.1 Belotero wrinkle filler is very individual—it depends on the amount of correction desired, the number of areas to be treated, and other factors. Your healthcare provider can better estimate once you have a consultation about your individual needs.
