Regal Films, the short-lived (1956-59) second-feature subsidiary of 20th Century-Fox, produced this modest but interesting psychological Western. It's not much better than a typical contemporary episode of TV's Gunsmoke, but it is a good showcase for Bronson, still ten years away from stardom in Europe, and another six or seven before he finally hit it big with American audiences.
Filmed in "RegalScope," the moniker created so as not to sully the more prestigious (and Fox-owned) CinemaScope brand, Olive's Showdown at Boot Hill marks the first time since the '50s this has been available in its original 2.35:1 widescreen, and though inconsistent, the image at times is dazzlingly good. (For reasons unclear, this Fox release is now part of the Paramount library.)
At an inquest, Luke is absolved of any wrongdoing but, stubbornly, neither the judge (Paul Maxey) or will anyone else in town attest to Maynor's identity, all because he was a liked and respected citizen. Frustrated but undeterred, Luke has a picture taken of Maynor's corpse in his coffin by a local photographer (Norman Leavitt), but snipers shatter the plates and the one camera is destroyed.
Sloane, once helped financially by Maynor when the rancher was particularly desperate, sends for the deceased's brother, Charles (George Douglas). At the same time he goads prostitute Jill's (Carole Mathews) lover, Les Patton (Michael Mason), into killing Luke. Meanwhile, the lawman courts Sally, who remains a reluctant witness.
Though modest, Showdown at Boot Hill is pretty interesting in that Bronson's character is portrayed as a short man "[hiding his] loneliness behind a gun." It reminded me of the father of a girl I once dated while in high school, by which time I was already 6'2" tall. Shaking hands when we were introduced, this short man squeezed my hand with all the force of Moe Howard sadistically squeezing Curly's head in a vice grip, as if to prove his manhood. Similarly, Luke discovers shooting big, burly bad guys taunting him about his size offers no relief, and that there's no escaping derisive comments no matter where his travels might take him. (Hutton's character, for instance, refers to him as "a pint-sized marshal.")
Bronson himself was of average height for the time, reportedly 5'8 1/2", though small and compact compared to genre stars like John Wayne (6'4"), James Arness (6'7"), and Richard Boone (6'1"). Both Hutton and Carradine tower over him here. As if to compensate, Bronson was extremely fit and muscular even into his sixties. (At 54 he believably played a bare-knuckle boxer in Hard Times, a role probably no other major star, not even Clint Eastwood, could have pulled off so authentically.)
Though a long way from the psychological Westerns of Anthony Mann and James Stewart, Showdown at Boot Hill has nice touches. Luke has an interesting relationship with the town's barber-doctor-undertaker, Doc Weber (John Carradine, in a good performance*), who was once in love with Sally's mother, Jill, but could never bring himself to ask her to marry him because he was ashamed of his crippled leg. It was a decision he always regretted, especially after Jill was reduced to become the town prostitute.
For most of the decade, Bronson had major supporting parts in A-level movies, often Westerns, while guest starring in featured roles on various television series. Showdown at Boot Hill seems to have been Bronson's first leading role in a feature film, though Roger Corman's Machine-Gun Kelly was released the same month as this. Gang War, likewise directed by Gene Fowler, Jr., followed two months later and When Hell Broke Loose four months after that. Further, Bronson's short-lived television drama, Man with a Camera, debut that October. All of this was an obvious effort by Bronson and his agent to establish him as a leading man, but it didn't work. By 1959 he was back to supporting parts and guest shots on TV.
Frustrated, Bronson began making movies on the European continent, becoming a huge star there and in Asia following two excellent starring films, Once Upon a Time in the West and Farewell, Friend (Adieu l'ami, both 1968). He continued making ambitious, often excellent films in Europe, including Rider on the Rain, Violent City, Cold Sweat (all 1970), and The Mechanic (1972), but it wasn't until Death Wish (1974) that Bronson finally found mainstream stardom in his home country. There's never been a career trajectory like his, before or since.
Editor-turned-director Gene Fowler, whose credits include the good if unfortunately titled I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) and I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), tries to give the film a stately look belying its budget level with some handsomely composed tracking shots and an editing trick during the film's first gunfight anticipating what Peter Hunt later brought the 007 movies. There's also a grimmer tone that what could be found on TV at the time. After shooting Maynor, Luke warns, "You'd better have an inquest quick. He won't keep in this heat." And, later, told by the photographer that the replacement camera will take time: "Two weeks! That corpse wouldn't be socially presentable by that time."
Video & Audio
Like Olive's earlier release of She-Devil (1957), another RegalScope title, Showdown at Boot Hill has its bumps and scrapes but overall is an excellent 2.35:1 widescreen transfer that, at times, is gorgeously sharp with rich blacks and good contrast. The DTS-HD Master Audio, in its original mono, English only with no subtitle options, is also excellent. No Extra Features, sorry to say, owing to Olive's licensing agreement with Paramount.
Parting Thoughts
For Bronson and Western fans, Showdown at Boot Hill is an offbeat, interesting little film, and Olive's excellent video transfer cinches the deal. Highly Recommended.
* For those keeping track, Carradine and Hutton also appeared in the hilarious Invisible Invaders about this same time.

Here's some weekend reading for you: an essay in the Washington Monthly that offers the best approach for getting the U.S. (and California) out of the economic doldrums.
That strategy: a focus on smart growth in the older, centers of cities -- to create walkable neighborhoods that appeal to the two largest American generations: the baby boomers, who are retiring and don't want to be isolated in suburbs; and the Gen Y crowd of under 30 types.
Reorienting government incentives away from promoting sprawl and towards the development of walkable neighborhoods would cost far less than the economic stimulus promoted by the left or the cuts promoted by the right, argue the essay's authors, Patrick Doherty and Christopher Leinberger. (Full disclosure: Doherty is affiliated with the same think tank that I'm affilaited with, the New America Foundation, though I don't know him).
They write:
"The potential for just such an economic renaissance is a lot more plausible than many would imagine. At the heart of this opportunity are the underappreciated implications of a massive demographic convergence. In short, the two largest demographic groups in the country, the baby boomers and their children—together comprising half the population—want homes and commercial space in neighborhoods that do not exist in anywhere near sufficient quantity. Fixing this market failure, unleashing this latent demand, and using it to put America back to work could be accomplished without resorting to debt-building stimulus or layoff-inducing austerity. At least for the moment, Washington has an opportunity to speed up private investment for public good and launch what could be a period of long-lasting prosperity. It is a market-driven way to make the economic recovery sustainable while addressing many of the most serious problems of our time: the health care crisis, climate change, over-reliance on oil from countries with terrorist ties, and an overextended military."

Egyptian officials are investigating the death of a French archeologist who was found dead in his Cairo apartment.
The officials said Tuesday there was no sign of forced entry into the apartment of 60-year-old Michel Wuttmann, who led a department at the French archeological institute in Cairo.
Wuttmann's body was discovered a day earlier, with injuries around his mouth. Investigators said he appeared to have been smothered to death. They added that his cell phone and lab top were stolen but no money.
Investigators suspect that two young men who visited Wuttmann Monday night may be behind his death. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The institute expressed its condolences in a statement posted its website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A free throw with 1.2 seconds left by Jaleel Queary proved to be the difference in the Tennessee State men's basketball team's, 69-68, exhibition victory over Lemoyne-Owen on Monday night.
The scoring went back and forth for the last seven minutes of the contest with neither team going up by more than one basket. Lemoyne-Owen pulled ahead by one at, 68-67, with a jumper at the one-minute mark.
Queary hit the back end of a pair of free throws on TSU's next possession to tie the game and the Tigers forced a stop on defense to setup one final shot with 6.9 seconds remaining.
Patrick Miller drove the ball down the floor, faked a shot and dished it to Queary underneath the basket. The JUCO transfer went up for the shot and was fouled with 1.7 left. Queary made the front end, but the Magicians pulled down the miss on his second attempt.
Miller broke up the ensuing inbound pass and the Tigers hung on for the narrow, one-point win.
Miller paced the Tigers with 27 points on 8-of-15 shooting including a 11-for-13 mark from the charity stripe. The Chicago, Ill. native also had a game-high five assists and added four boards.
Forward Michael Green got the Tigers' offense going, draining the team's first two hoops with one-handed floaters in the lane. TSU scored the game's first eight points before the Magicians broke through with a pair of buckets to trim the lead to 8-4.
Lemoyne-Owen kept hanging around and even tied the game at 16 with 11 minutes to go before halftime. The 9-0 Magician run prompted head coach Travis Williams to burn a timeout to regroup.
His team responded with a 9-2 stretch that was led by five points from Green, including the Tigers' only three pointer of the period at the 10:09 mark.
Green finished the game with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting and added three rebounds.
A highlight reel moment for the Tigers came with 4:33 left to play before halftime, as Miller stole the ball near his own three-point line and flipped the ball to Jay Harris. Harris took a few dribbles and then threw the ball up in the air where M.J. Rhett caught it near the rim and slammed it down with two hands. The jam put the Tigers up, 30-24.
Harris missed a three-pointer at the buzzer and TSU went into the locker room clinging to a, 36-32, lead.
The Tigers were 1-of-14 from three point land during the first 20 minutes, but held the Magicians to a 0-for-7 line from deep.
Miller led all scorers at the break with 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting. The senior made 8-of-9 from the charity stripe and added a pair of rebounds and steals.
The Magicians opened the second half on an 11-4 run to take the lead at 43-40. The string was punctuated by a fast-break dunk from LO's Victor Shell with just over 15 minutes to play.
The Tigers finally retook the lead when Harris nailed a jumper at the 11:52 mark to put his team up by one. The advantage didn't last long as Lemoyne-Owen nailed a three the next time down the floor to make the score, 48-46.
The Magicians saw their lead swell to six when Jean Mathieu poured in a triple with just under 10 to go.
TSU rebounded, however, as Jaleel Queary was intentionally fouled and Jordan Gaither made both freebies. The Tigers got the ball following the shots and Miller found Kennedy Eubanks wide open off of the inbound for a strong two-handed dunk. The slam brought the Tiger faithful to their feet and put Tennessee State ahead, 55-54, with a little over seven minutes left in the game.
The game see-sawed from that point, setting up the thrilling finish.
TSU was outshot 37.5 percent to 39 percent and outrebounded 41-38, but the Tigers forced three more turnovers and made plays when they had to.
Rhett was TSU's second leading scorer with 13 points on 3-of-5 shooting. The redshirt junior had seven points from the charity stripe and had four rebounds.
Eubanks led the Tigers with eight boards.
The Tigers will start regular season play on Friday night at the University of Hawai'i for the three-game Rainbow Classic.

Gaston is the author of Professional Parallel Programming with C#.
Microsoft's latest service pack for Visual Studio 2010 has something Silverlight application developers will find particularly useful. It's the addition of performance wizards to do profile concurrency, which lets them know if multithreaded apps are executing properly. The tool spits out a graph showing how each thread is behaving — especially important for developers to make sure multithreaded applications are scaling properly on newer multicore machines. Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Ultimate versions introduced powerful concurrency profiling features for Windows applications through new options in the Performance Wizard. However, those performance profiling tools weren't available for Silverlight projects.
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 Beta 1 — or SP1 Beta 1 — removes this restriction and lets you select a Silverlight project as the target for a profiling session. Thus, you can visualize the behavior of a multithreaded Silverlight application.
By default, a Silverlight application uses multithreaded code under the hood, which you have to take into account when profiling concurrency. (Meaning, don't be confused by the additional threads that will result in the concurrency analysis.) The first time you run a concurrency profiling session for a Silverlight project, you might get a bit overwhelmed by the number of worker threads, even if your code just works on the main thread. However, the profiler has detailed information that will help you focus on your threads.
When you use the profiling tools with a Silverlight project, it's very important to finish the execution of the application as soon as possible to avoid collecting unnecessary information. Once the code you want to analyze has finished its execution, you must close the browser with the Silverlight application so that your profiling session will be properly targeted.
The profiler generates a collection of graphs that provide information about the behavior of a multithreaded Silverlight application, and these can be used to detect common problematic patterns in parallelized applications. However, it's best to isolate any suspicious algorithm in a simple application to shorten its detailed analysis. If you try to profile a very complex Silverlight application, the process will require more time and effort to detect certain important problems, such as a serialized execution. The result of a profiling session provides detailed information about CPU utilization, the threads, and how these threads are mapped to the available logical cores.
Because Silverlight 4 doesn't let you work with the Task Parallel Library introduced in .NET Framework 4, it's still necessary to use threads to take advantage of multicore functionality in your Silverlight applications. The threads view provides timelines and the execution profile of each thread. You can use this information to optimize your code.
Silverlight 4 is becoming very popular for developing line of business applications and Rich Internet Applications that consume data and services. And if you use asynchronous managed APIs, such as SharePoint Silverlight Client Object Model, you will work with multithreaded code, because the callbacks run on new threads. You can use the SP1 Beta 1 concurrency profiling features to optimize the execution of these asynchronous calls and translate the available multicore power into application performance.
As a bonus, SP1 Beta 1 includes the most updated version of Silverlight 4 Tools. The debugger adds support for IIS Express, and you'll also welcome the new local Help Viewer — a client application that makes it easier and faster to navigate through the help contents. If you work with Silverlight 4 integrated into SharePoint 2010 sites, the IntelliTrace support for SharePoint projects will improve your debugging experience. SP1 Beta 1 comes with a go live license; therefore, you can use it for production- related work. However, keep in mind it's still a beta version, with all that entails, and isn't yet compatible with Visual Studio Async CTP.

Well, it wasn't my bike. It was wife K's, but I use it when out running errands.
Crossing at a busy intersection just before noon today – on the green – thinking about how much I'm looking forward to the rest of my day off and about my mountain biking holiday coming up this Friday, and three weeks in Newfoundland next summer, what I should get K for Christmas, and all those sorts of things that just rattle through your head when you're not focused on anything in particular, when all of a sudden WHAM! The bike simply falls out from under me.
In a flash I'm hitting the ground and land in a heap on the back half of the bike, the front half splayed out in front like some wheezed-out mule.
It just split in two. Just like that.
Sinking to the pavement in the blink of an eye is the last thing you'd expect to happen at any time of day, so for a second or two I just lay there feeling like I'd suddenly found myself underwater, confused as hell and not comprehending.
I get up and realise I'm scraped on the elbow and knees, but I'm more shocked and bewildered than anything. I look around and a lady is asking if I'm all right, another picks up and hands me the air pump that popped from its mooring and skidded away, and then HONK! HONK! Some prick behind the wheel on the cross-street figures I'm taking too long clearing what's left of the bike off the street, so I should just get the hell out of the road.
Then the cops come over.
I'd seen the pair of them while approaching the intersection, all decked out in their police biking gear and e-bikes to boot. It's a tall man and a short woman.
"Did you see that?" I ask the man.
"No," he says, "but looking at your bike – I've never seen anything like it."
"Are you injured?" the woman asks me.
"Naw," I say, pulling up my pant leg, "I'm more shocked than anything. I just can't believe it."
By now the male cop is taking out his iPhone and taking photos of the wreck that was wife K's bike, purchased three and a half years ago after hers got stolen, and only three days ago outfitted with a new front light and internal hub generator. He says he'll send them to me the photos in a day or two.
"Guess I'll have to take this in to the shop where I bought it and get them to replace the frame," I say.
That's what I did this afternoon.
They were pretty shocked to see the wreck that was a bike as I wheeled it in, the two halves still connected by the brake and gear cables.
I hope they replace the frame at least. It's just had normal riding around town, nothing out of the ordinary.

"Remarkable Marketable Me" helps you share your remarkable gifts volunteering, making you more marketable along the way.
I learned at a really young age that persistence will open many doors. As an adult I have walked out on a stage with a tiger after Zig Ziglar and talked to over 2,000 people about overcoming their fears. I know you must be thinking…a tiger? I have volunteered for over 15 years with big cat sanctuaries and have learned you can do something you really love while helping others in remarkable ways. In today's economy you hear lots of people say they can't find a job. So what happens?

I now realize that the answer to overcoming the fear is to replace it with remarkable things you can be proud of. Instead of asking why would anyone want to hire me, ask yourself why not me?
After volunteering you could say. Look at the change I've made in the lives of others. Look what I've learned along the way. Look at the skills I've been taught while helping others. Look at the great people I've met. They've seen first hand the type of passion I put into any job I take on. So how will this work?

Investigators consider connection between abductions, sexual assaults in two countiesInvestigators consider connection between abductions, sexual assaults in two counties
A teenager was able to evade an abduction attempt in West Baraboo, and deputies are checking to see if the case has connections to other cases, according to the Sauk County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies were called to the Haskin Park area in West Baraboo at 7:53 p.m. Wednesday for a report of an abduction attempt.
The 18-year-old victim told deputies a man asked him for directions to Walmart. As the victim was giving directions he pointed in the direction of Walmart and the man grabbed his arm and attempted to force him into his midsize silver SUV.
The teenager was able to break away from the man and run home.
The man is described as white, about 6 feet tall, stocky with short hair and a deep voice.
Investigators in Sauk County say they're now talking with the Juneau County Sheriff's Department about similarities to a sexual assault that occurred outside Lyndon Station on September 24th. A man approached a A man approached a 15-year-old girl out running and asked if she needed a ride.
"She advised that she did not at which point the individual got out and had her get in the vehicle and took her to a wooded area east of Lyndon Station and sexually assaulted her," said Juneau County Sheriff Brent Oleson.
He called the cases "very concerning."
In that case, the attacker was described as a white man in his 30s to 50s, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing between 180 and 200 pounds. His vehicle was described as a silver or tan smaller SUV.
"The officers are talking and sharing information back and forth at this point," said Sauk County Chief Deputy Kevin Fults. "I don't have anything I can say that would rule [a connection] out or rule it in, but they are talking and will continue to work together between the two counties to see if there is any type of connection."
Oleson said images of a vehicle released in relation to the sexual assault case are not of the suspect vehicle, but it's similar to the SUV in the images.
The victim from Wednesday's attempted abduction was shown a sketch of the man who assaulted the victim in Juneau County, but was unable to say if the sketch resembled the attempted abductor.
Another incident was reported to the Sauk County Sheriff's Office in early September on Highway 33 east of Manmound Road. The alleged victim refused to cooperate with law enforcement.
Juneau County says they're also investigating a similar silver SUV that followed to her home near Lyndon Station on October 10th.
Oleson is encouraging parents to talk to their children about being aware of their surroundings. Anyone with information is asked to call the Juneau or Sauk County Sheriff's Department.

The city had just hired a new manager and residents already were yelling at him. They wanted Tom Barwin to do something, and fast, to deal with the very visible homeless population. So he did.
And it ended up costing Sarasota more than $15,000 in legal fees and the loss of a $100,000 donation -- which, instead, will likely go to private social service providers.
When Barwin created the Homeless Advisory Task Force, later renamed a "fact-finding" group, it was with good intentions. In January and February, the group that included public officials and service providers met and discussed what was missing from Sarasota's approach to homelessness.
But none of the meetings were publicly noticed, no minutes were kept and Barwin landed himself, and the city, in Government-in-the-Sunshine Law purgatory.
An injunction and lawsuit that the open government advocacy group Citizens for Sunshine filed in February were supposed to bar Sarasota from acting on the group's recommendation: that the city and county hire one full-time and two part-time caseworkers to help the chronically homeless.
Barwin nonetheless put a request on the City Commission agenda in March asking the city to accept an anonymous donor's $100,000 gift to help fund the caseworkers, and to chip in another $20,000 to help cover the positions and supplies.
The advocacy group asked a judge to hold him in contempt of court.
Barwin pulled the item from the agenda and the group decided their contempt-of-court motion was moot -- but the misstep still cost the city nearly $7,000 in additional legal fees.
A bill that Citizens for Sunshine's attorney, Andrea Mogensen, sent to the city last week showed Sarasota owed her firm $15,274 for the debacle.
The legal battle wrapped up Tuesday, when Citizens for Sunshine voluntarily dismissed the case. The next day, Barwin heard the city was not getting the $100,000.
"The risk associated with open government litigation spawned by the well-meaning efforts of city officials to expeditiously tackle the problem of homelessness, suggests that these initiatives can most effectively be led by a coalition of nongovernmental social service providers," the donor said in a statement released by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, which is handling the donation.
John Annis, who is working with the donor and is the foundation's vice president of community investment, said the individual is still committed to giving money to address homelessness.
The donor encouraged the foundation to bring agencies that work with the homeless and affected members of the community together to determine how to proceed. The foundation will be able to do that, Annis said.
"Obviously disappointment is an understatement in terms of losing the funding, or the potential funding," Barwin said. "And on the other hand, I understand the frustration and I probably am even more frustrated than the donor."
Barwin still plans to ask city officials on April 15 to sign off on a scaled-back version of his initial caseworker plan, but suggested a part-time staffer will replace the full-timer he hoped to hire to help the city's chronically homeless.
"We will be sticking our toe in the water instead of our whole foot," Barwin said.
The city had just hired a new manager and residents already were yelling at him. They wanted Tom Barwin to do something, and fast, to deal with the very visible homeless population. So he did.

Andy, when you took Peterson as your mandated current player selection in our all-time NFL draft a few summers ago, I thought at the time it was a bit of a stretch. While I stand by my thoughts at that time, that selection would certainly be anything but a stretch right now.
He has 43 carries of 10+ yards this year, and averages 23.8 yards per carry on those 43 runs. I thought ACL surgery was supposed to sap someone of their explosiveness.
That's an interesting thought that if true, would slightly irritate me. Why didn't Mendenhall also receive this special treatment? Of course, I guess it's not a magic formula. You probably had to be good prior to the injury.
I suppose Jamaal Charles could have, but he also had a 3 month head start on his recovery.
From what I've read, Peterson had the same procedure as most everyone else, using a graft from the patellar tendon to replace the ACL, as opposed to a graft from a cadaver. There was an interesting article in the USA Today last week about his recovery.
And he's not just performing better than he has in years, he's officially performing better than he ever has before. Peterson has treated this recovery almost like some pitchers are now treating Tommy John. He's using it to come back better than ever.
Peterson has superhumanly willed himself back to being better than before. He's ignored anything doubters have said, and PROVEN on the field that putting "mind over matter", applying mental fortitude, and training hard to rehab and get back that it's possible. Mendenhall has PROVEN he's a twit, with the psyche of a child, that he can't overcome being benched for poor performance (mostly a large case of fumblitis) and acting like a professional.
Peterson has shown up and worked hard everyday this season, Mendy not so much. All culminating this past week when Mendy went awol and didn't bother even coming to the game.
Some people say that "can't" isn't a part of their vocabulary. Very few actually live that sentiment. Peterson is a special, special type of talent.
As for the comeback POY debate, as I said in the other thread, I'm torn. It's all in the wording. Is the definition of comeback simply a player who comes back following an extended layoff, or is it something less defined? I'm inclined to say that Manning probably should get that award no matter what, but the current Offensive POY in my mind is AD, hands down. I guess MVP is another debate entirely, but I think I'm starting to lean in Peterson's direction with that award as well.
Even if Peterson doesn't pass Eric Dickerson, and ends up with "only" the magic 2000 yard season, considering all of the variables involved, would there be any way we could NOT call this the most impressive individual performance of all time, possibly in any sport? I'm sure Old Hoss Radbourn may have something to say about that, but there are no words that can adequately describe what AD is currently doing.
Near the end of the pre-season I read a rumor that Adrian Peterson had to come back quickly because of money issues, which saddened me. Topped off with the weird incident in Texas, I was concerned for him. About a month into the season, those worries seemed pretty silly.
I don't happen to think that the Vikings OL is all that great at run blocking, which makes what AD is doing this season even more unfathomable. He's doing all the work getting to the second level and then turning on the jets and leaving DBs in the dust (the NFCN says hello).
Does anyone know how the Comeback Player of the Year Award voting is done? If it's anything like the AP MVP vote, the lack of a ballot arrangement may really hurt him. I could easily see Manning get both awards while Peterson gets left in the cold.
As to the question of missing one game or many, that seems beside the point. From Wikipedia (it's marked as needing a citation but matches my understanding of the award):
The player named Comeback Player of the Year shows perseverance in overcoming adversity, in the form of not being in the NFL the previous year, a severe injury, or simply poor performance.
Peterson qualifies for Comeback player of the year.
He qualified when he showed up in camp early, avoiding the PuP list.
He qualifies when he started week 1. He defintely qualifies when he is on par to hit 2K.
He defintely qualifies as the OPOY given that his best running has come in the second half of the season when his team decided to quit on the forward pass.
Finally, he's great because he is still a throwback with a cool nickname. Not the crap we are faced with now.
I hope folks don't misunderstand me about Peterson. In my pre-season predictions, I said his career was over. Obviously, what he's doing blows my mind. Two torn knee ligaments on December 24th and today he's the best runner in the league. Phenomenal.
Someone said they'll divvy MVP and Comeback between Manning and AP. I don't know how you rig that, but it sounds fair, assuming both finish the season doing what they're doing now.

When creditors started calling me almost every day – morning, afternoon and night to collect my debt, I began to live in fear. I would wake up in the morning shaking, my heart pounding wondering what was going to happen to me, my credit, my house and worst of all litigation. Every day I had anxiety and couldn't live a normal life.
I searched various credit repair companies, but CredNet stood out to me when I read "they take a highly detailed look at your credit score and all of your debts and develop a plan for restoring your credit score as quickly and as efficiently as possible." So I called and spoke to the owner Ryan McElveen, who personally helped me understand the process by way of sending letters and other creative and effective proprietary tactics. He further explained that if I negotiated with the creditors there is a risk that my credit score could still be damaged for many years. He continued to explain in detail what creditors do that could harm my credit report. This made me decide to go with CredNet.
The first step with CredNet is to sign up on their website which takes a few minutes. After that I got an e-mail explaining what information they needed to start my credit repair. I scanned that information and I sent it in online. Thereafter they began a detailed analysis of my credit report, examining every single item and keeping a look out for anything incorrect or objectionable. There are many erroneous items on our report that affect us negatively. They take action, by way of sending letters to creditors and/or bill collectors in order to clean up this erroneous information. After scanning my credit and debt for any errors, they begin validations with the creditors.
While creditors were calling me, CredNet gave me great advice in handling my conversations with the creditors. I told my CredNet counselor that I disliked how they talked to me. He said "tell the creditors that you are recording the conversation. They don't like this so they change their attitude and the way they speak to you." This was good advice.
I consider CredNet my Credit Fairy God Mother. If I need advice, they are right there. They send me email messages instructing me on what I need to do with follow up emails as reminders. Credit repair is a long and arduous project. If I did this myself, I wouldn't even know where to start. It's wonderful to have CredNet looking out for me.
CredNet can't erase or eliminate my debt entirely, but they can reduce the amount I'll owe so I'll only have to pay back a fraction of my actual debt. This process is known as debt negotiation. They are the experts and I trust them.
CredNet is affordable and offer me personalized care that I needed. They keep my posted to ensure I understand what's going on. Everything is still in process, but I have comfort knowing they are behind me every step of the way to improve my credit and I look forward to a fresh start.
Going through financial hardship is tough, scary and can ruin your life if you don't take the right steps to find the right people to help you. CredNet is my Credit Fairy Godmother and I don't live in fear anymore.

While it's certainly not the White House, the late President Gerald Ford's desert compound was apparently a hot ticket in Palm Desert because it quickly sold after just two months on the market. Curbed reports that the sweet compound where the late president lived after leaving office fetched $1.675 million, which is quite close to the original list price of $1.699 million.
According to Palm Desert Patch, Gerald and Betty Ford bought the Rancho Mirage, Calif. property from Leonard Firestone, a friend of the Fords and a boardmember of Firestone tire company, in the 1970s. The couple then commissioned architect Welton Becket to design the gated single-story compound in 1979.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The estate measures 6,316 square feet and sits on the 13th fairway of the Thunderbird Country Club. There's six bedrooms, 4.5 baths, separate his and hers offices, and a swimming pool, which President Ford was reportedly a big fan of. The estate abounds with historic details such as an original sculpture from New York artist Paul Von Ringelheim, which was given as a gift to the late president.
If the new owners were looking to literally live like the late prez, all the original furniture was available for purchase, though it's unclear whether they took up that offer.

During that famous Game 6 of the '86 World Series, a Mets fan parachuted onto the field with a "Go Mets" sign and a whole lotta balls. That Vin Scully—who celebrated his 83rd birthday yesterday—made a perfect call is gravy.
Oh if only that was the worst thing to happen to Bill Buckner that day. We shudder to think how Joe Buck and Tim McCarver would handle that situation.
Here's to 83 more years, Vin.

Commerce City, Colo. - You would think the smile on Jamie Smith's face following Saturday's match was for one of two reasons: he made his season debut and he scored his first goal of the year 16 minutes after coming on. However, the veteran Scotsman was grinning for another reason.
"My wife and kids were there, and that's actually one of the first times they've seen me score a goal, in person," Smith said afterwards. "Actually, that is the first time in my entire career where my wife and kids have seen me score."
It's been a long road back for the midfielder, who tore the ACL in his right knee in a playoff match last November. He had appeared in a handful of reserves matches before being activated from the disabled list last week prior to the match against San Jose, but didn't come on.
Goal: Smith finished nice play from Rivero, Cascio
"Obviously I was excited about getting involved," Smith said, who replaced Conor Casey in the 73rd minute. "Just to go on the field in any form was great. I enjoyed being back involved, and scoring a goal was great."
The Rapids had a comfortable 2-0 lead when Smith came on and he extended it with his first goal in over a year in the 89th minute. His last goal had been on May 4, 2011, when the Houston goalkeeper misread a 40-yard Smith freekick that went in.
On Saturday, his tally came from a much shorter distance as he finished a nice pass from Tony Cascio on the goal line.
"My first thought was 'please don't miss it,'" he said. "And it was actually harder to miss it than to score. I just had to get some part of my body in front of it. I was a good ball from Martin (Rivero) and great work from Tony."
Smith has established himself more as set-up player than a goal scorer. He has five goals in 47 career games since arriving in Colorado in 2009, and had scored 12 times the previous four years with Aberdeen in Scotland. But until Satuday, his wife Laura and their three kids had yet to him score.
His family has been back and forth from Scotland to the United States during Smith's tenure, but a superstition has also a played a role.
"My wife has this thing where she says she won't come to games because she says I won't score if she does," Smith said, laughing. "I don't know, she can probably explain it better."
With his family now here for good, perhaps a new superstition has begun for the Smiths.

Consensus Report
Research Progress on Environmental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Engineered Nanomaterials (2013)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Nanomaterials-—materials just one billionth of a meter in size—have novel chemical and physical properties that make them useful for an array of products that range from cosmetics to medical therapies to electronics. The unique characteristics and behaviors of nanomaterials and uncertainties regarding how they interact with biologic systems have motivated research on the potential risks they pose to human health and the environment. Despite an increase in research funding and in peer-reviewed publications over the past decade, environmental, health, and safety (EHS) research efforts are not keeping pace with the increasing and evolving applications of nanotechnology, and uncertainty persists about the potential effects of these materials on the health of consumers, workers, and on ecosystems.
To address those uncertainties, the Environmental Protection Agency asked the National Research Council to perform an independent study to develop and monitor the implementation of an integrated research strategy to address the EHS aspects of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). In response to that request, the National Research Council released a report in January 2012, A Research Strategy for the Environmental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Engineered Nanomaterials. The report identified four high-priority research areas: quantifying and characterizing the origins of nanomaterial releases; understanding processes that affect exposure and hazard; nanomaterial interactions in complex systems ranging from subcellular to ecosystems; and an adaptive research and knowledge infrastructure for accelerating progress and providing rapid feedback to advance research. It also identified mechanisms for implementation of the research that included enhancing interagency coordination, providing for stakeholder engagement in the research strategy, conducting and communicating the results of research funded through public-private partnerships, and managing potential conflict of interest.
This second report assesses recent research and implementation progress in the United States and the European Union on the basis of indicators identified in its first report. Given that the time interval between the two reports was too short for substantial new research programs to be put in place, let alone produce results, the committee instead examined the trajectory of research and progress in developing the mechanisms needed to ensure effective implementation.
Key Messages
- Each indicator was classified by the committee as green for new activities or expected progress, yellow for moderate or mixed progress, or red for minimal activity and few anticipated changes. The committee found that the indicators for research and implementation progress ranged from yellow to red. However, one indicator, "developing methods for detecting, characterizing, tracking, and monitoring nanomaterials and their transformations in simple, well-characterized media" was classified as green.
- Empowered leadership is needed; if all agencies are responsible, to some degree, for nanotechnology EHS research, no single agency can be held clearly accountable for its management and progress. The gap in empowered nanotechnology EHS research leadership at the federal level has made coordination and communication challenging and left the enterprise open to perceptions of conflicts between technology development and risk-related research. Research progress could be accelerated if there was one lead agency for directing EHS research throughout the federal government. Alternatively, a new entity could serve that function.
- The availability of such a knowledge commons would also facilitate oversight of the nanomaterial research program itself and provide greater accountability for research progress. It could provide a context for addressing the recognized need for improved taxonomies of ENM structures, experiments, characteristics, models, effects, and uses.
- This lead agency should ensure that all stakeholders have access to the "knowledge commons"— a collaborative environment for the development of methods, models, and materials, and for the capture and dissemination of data. This knowledge commons would serve as a resource for information relevant to nanotechnology EHS research at multiple levels of detail and thus could improve public understanding, inform policy-makers, offer data for future researchers, and shape the focus of future research.
- To further advance EHS nanotechnology research, the committee concludes that more engaged and broadly reaching governance is needed. Because the applications of nanotechnology permeate every sector of our society and economy, the research spans the missions and jurisdictions of many diverse government agencies and intersects with activities and interests of many stakeholders. An integrated and well-coordinated program on both national and global scales would help to ensure that research findings provide the evidence needed to inform EHS decisions so that risks can be effectively managed and, ideally, prevented.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz put it bluntly. Shai Agassi, the man who built the groundbreaking Israel-based but global electric car-charging company through the sheer force of his personality and stellar ability to sway a crowd, has been relieved of his CEO responsibilities, though he remains a director and shareholder, and "is expected to have little influence on the firm from now on."
Ouch. Let's put this in perspective. Better Place without Shai Agassi is like Tesla Motors without Elon Musk, or Apple without Steve Jobs. One tends to sympathize with the critics who say that the Apple maps fiasco would never have happened on Jobs' watch, but there are drawbacks to visionary founders, too. It's usually their way or the highway.
In five years since the company's founding, Agassi has globe-trotted and raised $800 million. But he also spent a whole lot, and Haaretz reported that the company has lost $477 million since early 2010, and $64 million just in the second quarter of 2012. That's a pretty high burn rate.
As it happens, I went to Israel in May of this year, when Agassi was still very much in charge of the company. He was his usual expansive self, buoyant about the company's progress and imagining an electric car timetable much faster-moving than most other observers.
In the latest count I've seen, Better Place has opened more than 20 $1 million-plus battery switch stations in Israel, and 12 in Denmark. It had contracts to build networks in the U.S. and Australia, and it was evolving a China strategy, too.
I visited one of the swap stations (right) and was impressed by the smooth automation, but it wasn't enough to convince me that battery switching will work for regular consumers. I think it's most effective with fleets. Why? Because fleets (taxis are a great example) want to operate around the clock, can't afford the downtime of lengthy charging, and operate out of central facilities ideal for storing batteries.
Unfortunately, Better Place hadn't signed up any of Israel's major taxi fleets — they seemed reluctant to go electric — and not that many regular folks yet. At the time of my visit, Better Place had 140 Renault-built Fluence Z.E. cars on the road, half of them driven by employees. It hadn't convinced any other automakers to build cars with switchable batteries.
Moshe Kaplinsky, a former high-ranking officer in the Israeli Defense Forces turned CEO of BP Israel, said then that the company had 1,800 cars committed for leasing and "hundreds of private customer orders." But it was widely seen as a slow start and not enough to generate a positive cash flow.
Better Place is declining to comment on the reason for Agassi's abrupt departure, though Israeli press reports stated clearly that the continuing losses are the main reason. Better Place was said to have $131 million left at the end of June.
The loss of Agassi isn't the end of the world, and I hope Better Place can move forward and start generating revenue. One hurdle is that the company as conceived was very much Agassi's personal vision. That vision included swap stations, so that became the company's mantra. If Better Place's new CEO — Evan Thornley, the head of the Australian division — wants to evolve a more conventional business model, and he'll still have to deal with a massive installed investment. Agassi's vision also included having customers buy the car and lease the battery, which is a strategy interwoven with battery switching.
On that visit I also met Idan Ofer, at least at one time Israel's richest man, Better Place's biggest investor and chairman of its board. He was upbeat about the company and about the future of electric cars. "The world will move eventually to electric mobility," he said.
Ofer also said he had resigned from his family's various business interests, which included oil refineries, shipping and power generation. He had sold his Audi A6 and now drove only his electric Tesla Roadster and Fluence Z.E. "Now, my only official role is chairman of Better Place," he said. Perhaps, on closer examination, he didn't like the company's progress under Agassi. But Ofer was bullish on the company in recent interviews.
There's an interesting parallel here that some people are missing. Coda Automotive, the American car company that is converting a Chinese car to electric, was launched by a visionary CEO named Kevin Czinger. Like Agassi, he was a magnetic public speaker who could sell ice to Eskimos. He rivaled Elon Musk in creating media spectacles. Trust me about Agassi's way with a crowd, or better yet, watch this video of him in action at a recent TED talk:
The conventional wisdom is that both Czinger and Agassi fell victim to a well-known scenario — the visionary so strong at start-up isn't as good at the nuts and bolts of actually running the company and making a profit. Idan Ofer knows if that's Better Place's thinking, but he's not talking.
Better Place will carry on. One David Paul Rose posted a tribute on Agassi's Facebook page. "[We] can and do admire Shai Agassi for what he started and appreciate the emotional (as well as financial) stock he has in Better Place," he wrote. But, Rose added, "Better Place is not Shai, we, the investors, board members, managers, employees and customers, are Better Place and it is we who will work, each in our own way, to ensure that Better Place continues to grow, develop and succeed, because while it is not the only way, it is the best, most logical and affordable way to achieve the goal Shai has set out to achieve."

When Renault was developing its new generation K9 engine to meet the now obligatory Euro6 regulations, it also needed to develop new processes in different areas of its Valladolid plant in Spain that supported its SPR and lean manufacturing principles.
The K9 produces fewer than 80mg/km of nitrogen oxides, which is a requirement of Euro6. It features steel pistons that generate less friction and delivers 3 per cent lower fuel consumption. The launch of diesel engines also led to the updating of other key elements such as the connecting rod. With the introduction of these technologies, has come the need for modifications to Renault's production lines.
The particular challenges facing Renault's Production System (SPR) – designed to ensure the company benefits from the most high performance production system worldwide – was how to maximise efficiency and output, optimise the available space and keep maintenance as simple as possible.
With ambitious targets to reduce overall costs of the new engine and increase production, whilst maintaining quality, Renault needed an experienced and trusted components supplier. So, in stepped SMC with its LEF actuators to support the screw part of the process. With the highest repeat action, the screwing of components was a key focus for Renault in its efforts to improve productivity in an efficient way.
Renault was one of the original adopters of SMC's electric range of products and has not been disappointed with the latest results, expressing its satisfaction with the LEF actuators.
Renault says SMC´s electric actuators have provided its machines with the high flexibility required for the development of new products, and at a very competitive price.
Renault also believes the continuous collaboration with SMC has been key to the integration of the electric actuators and has reinforced the image of the company as a components supplier for the automotive industry.
In addition, the proven reliability of SMC solutions has given Renault the confidence to use the company's products on future projects.
Being Japanese owned, SMC also shares Renault's SPR principle through the kaizen (continuous improvement) philosophy and collectively both teams are always striving to enhance the manufacturing process, so that it's as lean and efficient as possible
SMC's sales engineer, responsible for the Renault account, Roberto García says: "We have worked with Renault for 16 years and had the track record, expertise and product knowledge to help our customer meet its key objectives of reducing production time by 50 per cent and minimising maintenance time and costs."
A key part of Renault's production process is the use of robotic technology. However, they utilise valuable space and are costly, complicated to programme and maintain. So, it was Renault's ambition to replace these, where possible, with more efficient and effective alternative solutions.
As a result, SMC's LEF actuators have been installed in place of a robot, with the ability to cover eight different positions whilst withstanding heavy loads up to 15 kilos. They provide resistance to the momentum generated during the screw and high screwing process, therefore, offering quality precision. SMC's electric actuators are easy to programme and maintain and crucially deliver production efficiencies across all key areas.
Roberto García explains: "Since installing our electric actuators, Renault has significantly reduced the screw cycle from 16 seconds to nine seconds and the overall time of the operation by six seconds to just 24 seconds. The company has also halved its production area to just 4m².
"It's a great example of lean manufacturing and has provided Renault with the perfect solution to their production challenges and ultimately helped them to bring a highly competitive product to market. I am confident this engine will join the family of best-selling engines that form part of the Renault Group."
