On the Edge of the Weekend
June 13, 2013
People Saint Louis Science Center offers a scientific trip back in time By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge For centuries, the world has been fascinated by the people and culture of ancient Egypt. The allure of this powerful and mysterious society captivated Shakespeare and inspired action films and even ‘80s pop songs. But what is the truth behind the mystery? Find out at “Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science” now open at the Saint Louis Science Center. This new traveling exhibition explores how modern archaeologists use science and technology to uncover and understand the people and culture of ancient Egypt. Visitors to “Lost Egypt” will get to experience what it is like to unearth the mysteries of Egypt’s people and culture. The exhibition will include a variety of hands-on challenges such as piecing a clay pot back together and building a replica of a pyramid. There will also be authentic Egyptian artifacts on show and scientists on hand to provide expert guidance. The exhibit is divided into four content areas. The Orientation Entrance takes the form of a modern Egyptian street scene. Here, visitors will meet and learn about some of the archeologists working in Egypt today. The Field Site sheds light on the tools, techniques, science and technologies used at the Lost City of the Pyramid Builders on the Giza Plateau. The Ancient Egyptian Culture area is where visitors will view a human mummy, funerary artifacts and exhibits about the art and language of ancient Egypt. This is followed by the Laboratory area, where modern science attempts to answer some of the mysteries that surround this ancient civilization. Here, visitors will discover animal mummies, X-rays and CT scans
For The Edge
A scene from the film, "Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs." of human and animal mummies, facial reconstructions and rapid prototypes of ancient Egyptians. After you’ve explored the exhibit, make sure you take time to visit the OMNIMAX Theater to view “Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs.” Produced in conjunction with the “Lost Egypt” exhibit, the film takes viewers back in time and follows a 19th century expedition to find a cache of 40 royal mummies in a single tomb. Among the mummies found were the 12 Kings of Egypt, including Ramses
the Great, who many experts believe to be the greatest pharaoh who ever lived. Narrated by the acclaimed actor Christopher Lee, the film is both a historical narrative and a modern day forensic story. It documents the scientific journey of archaeologists and other scientists to extract clues about the past that could have an impact on the future. The film also sheds light on a new discovery that could help researchers understand how ancient diseases have evolved
into modern-day counterparts. For example, scientists are exploring whether the DNA contained in mummies like Ramses could help cure people today. Visit the Saint Louis Science Center this summer to explore ancient Egypt through “Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs” and the new exhibition, “Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science.” Tickets to the exhibition are $12 for adults, $10 for children, seniors and college students with
a valid ID, and $8 for military. Or take advantage of the combo deal for both the exhibition and movie: $15 for adults and $12 for children. Become a member and get an even better deal: $6 for adults, $5 for children for the exhibition. Members may redeem their vouchers for free admission to the OMNIMAX. The Saint Louis Science Center is located at 5050 Oakland Ave. in St. Louis. Hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Why does my jaw hurt? What is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)? It is a very important set of joints located in front of your ears. The TMJ helps you move your jaw up, down, backward, forward, and side to side in a smooth motion. This joint is responsible for helping you chew and talk. The joint contains a small disc that helps your jaw absorb shock, much like the discs in your back. There are also muscles of the jaw, head, and neck that connect to the joint to help stabilize and provide movement. Other structures related to the TMJ are the teeth, various blood vessels, and nerves. More than 50 percent of the population suffers from TMJ dysfunction. What makes you more likely to develop a TMJ disorder? Studies show that more women than men are affected by TMJ discomfort. Dental problems, such as an improper bite (how your teeth fit together) or poor fitting dentures can lead to jaw disorders. Other risk factors include, chewing gum, clenching or grinding your
Dr. Nikole Hunter teeth, and stress. Poor posture can play a major role in the causation of TMJ disorders. Sitting at a computer all day, as most of us do, can lead to forward head posture and slumped shoulders. This puts a strain on the muscles of our neck and can lead to increased stress on our TMJ. Car accidents that result in whiplash, can also lead to TMJ disorders. Approximately 70 percent of people who have disorders of the jaw have some sort of neck dysfunction as well. How do you know if you have TMJ dysfunction? Symptoms include clicking or popping of the jaw, pain at the joint, and uneven jaw movements. Some people experience difficulty opening their mouth. Headaches and earaches are other common symptoms temporomandibular joint disorders.
If you suffer from any of these symptoms, there are at home treatment options you can try. Stretching and relaxing the muscles of the neck and around the TMJ can help relieve some of the pain and/or tenderness. You can also avoid habits that cause an increase in symptoms, such as chewing gum and try staying away from stressful situations. If you cannot completely steer clear of these habits, then modifying them is your best bet. Sleeping on your back or side so your neck is in a neutral position and changing the position of your computer so you are eye level with the screen are both options that can improve your posture and help prevent further problems. If at home treatments do not alleviate your TMJ symptoms, you may want to consult with your dentist or chiropractor. A dentist will evaluate your jaw and teeth to determine if your discomfort is coming from the joint itself or from another dental problem. In
June 13, 2013
the case of a TMJ disorder, your dentist may give you a splint to wear. Your chiropractor will perform an evaluation on the joint, as well as the neck and select an appropriate treatment option for you at that time. Chiropractic treatment of the TMJ usually includes stretching and relaxation of the tight muscles surrounding the joint and gentle mobilization of the TMJ and neck. In some instances, it may be appropriate to evaluate the low back, as studies have shown some cases of TMJ dysfunction are associated with low back pain. You will also be given exercises to retrain muscles and return proper movement to your jaw and neck. To determine if chiropractic care could help you manage your TMJ dysfunction, or to speak with a chiropractor in the Glen Carbon/ Edwardsville area, call Dr. Nikole Hunter at 692-0000. Dr. Hunter is a board certified chiropractic physician.

Beer – it's what St. Louis does By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge St. Louis knows beer. The city’s famous brewing history dates back to the 1830s thanks to the arrival of German immigrants who brought their beer-making talents with them. More than 180 years later the city continues to be a dominant force in the beer world with its wide assortment of breweries both big and small. And the area’s biggest festival devoted entirely to beer is happening this weekend. Dozens of beers from local breweries will be on offer at the 7th annual Saint Louis Brewers Heritage Festival taking place on June 14 and 15 in the heart of Forest Park at the Central Fields. Presented by the St. Louis Brewers Guild, the festival provides beer lovers with a chance to taste a variety of local beer styles, listen to live music and enjoy food from St. Louis restaurants in a relaxed beer garden-style atmosphere. “This is a great way to experience St. Louis beer culture and tradition. It’s an opportunity to learn about different beer styles while being able to enjoy a good time with friends and family in Forrest Park,” said Florian Kuplent of Urban Chestnut Brewing Company in a statement. The festival will feature more than 80 lagers, ales, specialty beers, hybrid styles and homebrews from 20 different breweries. Participating breweries include 2nd Shift Brewing Company, 4 Hands Brewing Company, Alpha Brewing, Anheuser-Busch, Augusta Brewing Company, Buffalo Brewing Company, Cathedral Square Brewery, Charleville Vineyard & Microbrewery, Excel Brewing, Exit 6 Pub and Brewery, Ferguson

further building the St. Louis area as a world-class destination for great beers, educating residents, visitors and the world on the passion, dedication and great beer St. Louis has to offer.” The organization will use funds generated by the festival to increase beer tourism in the city.

"Invisibility" A unique read from two best-selling authors By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge What would you do if you were invisible? How would you feel knowing that the rest of the world had no idea of your existence? “Invisibility” is a new book by authors David Levithan and Andrea Cremer. It tells the story of 16year-old Stephen, who is invisible. He’s been that way all his life. He manages to get by living in New York City, but it is a lonely and isolated life. Stephen’s odd existence began when his grandfather cast a curse on his mother before he was even born. The result was a child that could be heard, occasionally touched but never seen. When a girl named Elizabeth moves into Stephen’s apartment building, he is shocked to discover that she can see him. The two grow close and a romance develops between them. Together, the two teenagers begin a quest that leads them into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers as they search for a way to break the curse and make Stephen visible. Young adult fantasy fiction has never been more popular. Thanks to the success of romantic fantasy novels such as the “Twilight Saga” and “Hunger Games,” the genre is filled with similar stories of young people falling in love amid otherworldly circumstances. I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical when a review
copy of “Invisibility” landed on my desk. While I am a fan of fantasy fiction, my preferences fall more in line with J.R.R. Tolkien, Raymond E. Feist and Stephen R. Lawhead. Still, the unique idea of a boy who couldn’t be seen was intriguing. I have a rule that a book must grab my attention within the first five minutes of reading it otherwise I won’t bother with it. Life is too short to waste on books that don’t interest me. I began reading the first few pages of “Invisibility.” By the time I glanced at the clock, 15 minutes has passed. When a book is able to make me lose track of time just by reading the first few pages, I know it’s a good one. Here’s an excerpt from the second page that really caught my attention: “I have been alone for almost a year now. I can never be seen, no matter how hard I try. I can be touched, but only if I concentrate. And I can always be heard, if I choose to speak. These, I suppose, are the rules of the curse. I have gotten used to them, even if I don’t understand them. When I was a baby, I automatically had weight, but the more conscious I became, the more I had to concentrate on being held.” Levithan and Cremer are both bestselling, accomplished authors. Levithan is best known for his book “Boy Meets Boy” and “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.” Cremer is known for her “Nightshade” series. Together, they create a world that is rooted in the everyday experiences and worries of ordinary teenagers
while also developing a magical world filled with mystery and secrets. In some ways, this reminded me a bit of what J.K. Rowling did so well with “Harry Potter.” Instead of creating a totally different fantasy world, Rowling created a world that was just familiar enough to make the magic seem even more extraordinary. That is where “Invisiblity” really succeeds. Levithan and Cremer do a great job of getting inside the heads of teenagers. The dialogue feels fresh and loose, instead of chopping or cheesy. At times it does go a bit beyond what a typical 16-yearold might say, but I’m OK with that. I grew up with the gang from “Dawson’s Creek,” so overly articulate teenagers don’t bother me. I should point out that this book does contain some profanity. If you have a young teenager or tween, I would certainly recommend you read through it before buying it for your child. That said, I liked this book very much. The clever plot caught my attention and the wellwritten story and dialogue held it. I won’t spoil the ending for you although I will say that I have a hunch this might become a series. “Invisibility” is published by The Penguin Group. It is available now from most major retailers, including Amazon.com both in hardback and e-book format. For more information, visit www. penguin.com.

Twilight Thursdays will allow visitors to view the memorable summer sunsets over the confluence. Admission is $5, which includes a tour of the Tower. Bring family, friends, a special someone or just enjoy the view alone to wind down from a stressful day. Visitors are more than welcome to stay until nightfall. Keep an eye out on the time of sunset to plan your trip accordingly. This season the Tower has synced the sunset days with the lunar cycle. Every new and full moon, expect to see the Tower open for viewing. “I have never seen a better sunset. This is the perfect place to watch the sun go down after a long day,” says Don Russell, longtime volunteer at the Tower. “You can see the sun set and the moon rise, all at once. Bring your camera because it’s beautiful.” Twilight Thursdays will be on every first and third Thursday of the month from now through September. Times of the event will
be set to match the sunset. The Tower is open every day for summer. The hours are Monday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Guided daily tours are available throughout the day. Admission to the Tower is $4 for adults, $2 for children 12 and under and children two and under are free. Group rates are available for 12 or more people and reservations can be made by calling the Alton Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau at (618) 465-6676. The Tower is searching for dedicated volunteers to help out during the busy summer and fall months.

No strangers to the stage, Mindless’ tour resume ranges from opening for superstars Janet Jackson and Justin Bieber, to top billing on 2011’s Scream Tour. In 2012 they headlined the #1 Girl Tour in promotion of their debut album. This summer’s tour will feature a longer set, incorporating some of the group’s latest hits, including lead single “Keep Her on the Low” and fan favorite “All Around The World.” Opening acts include fellow teen stars The OMG Girlz (“Gucci This (Gucci That?)”) and Coco Jones (“Holla At the DJ”). Aside from their pair of releases, Mindless Behavior have had an extremely active 2013. They recently lent their dance skills to WAT-AAH!’s Move Your Body 2013 campaign and PSA—a youth focused initiative which aims to

Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys will perform at the St. Louis Folk & Roots Festival in September.
Ralph Stanley to host folk festival By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge A legend in the world of bluegrass music is coming to St. Louis. Ralph Stanley, also known as “Dr. Ralph Stanley” will headline the 2nd Annual St. Louis Folk & Roots Festival, which takes place Friday, Sept. 27, Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. 29 at various locations in St. Louis’ Grand Center district. Co-presented by the Folk School of St. Louis and independent radio station 88.1 KDHX, the St. Louis Folk & Roots Festival is billed as the city’s “premier folk festival” and promises to bring both regional and national musicians to the area for three days filled with old-time, bluegrass, country and folk music. Confirmed acts include The Hillbenders, the Downhill Strugglers, 3 Penny Acre, The Blue Canyon Boys, J.P. Harris & the Tough Choices and Rebecca Loebe. More acts will be announced at a later date. The festival culminates Saturday night with the legendary Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys on his final tour. Ralph Stanley has been described as the “King of Mountain Soul” and it’s no wonder with more than 150 albums spread over a career than spans more than 50 years in the music business.
Many of the biggest stars of country and bluegrass music came from Stanley’s band, according to his website at www.drralphstanley.com. This includes Ricky Skaggs, Larry Sparks and the late Keith Whitley. In 1976, Stanley received an honorary doctorate of music from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn. In 1984 he was the recipient of the “National Heritage Award” given by President Ronald Reagan, and he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall Of Honor in 1992, according to his website. In 2000 he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Audiences outside of country and bluegrass music were introduced to Stanley in 2002 when he won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his haunting rendition of the song “Oh Death.” The song was featured in the film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” directed by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen and starred George Clooney. Stanley is credited with playing a major role in the resurgence of traditional bluegrass, mountain and roots music. His high, sorrowful tenor voice continues to win over new fans to this quintessentially American music. Festival activities will include a Saturday outdoor stage, workshops, a square dance, the Folk School’s 3rd Annual Fiddle Contest, and a presentation by renowned Missouri

Family Focus A visit to the Butterfly House should be on your to-do list By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
P
ack a picnic and head to Faust Park in Chesterfield where you’ll find one of St. Louis’ most enchanting and beautiful escapes. The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House offers visitors of all ages the chance to witness beautiful butterflies of every imaginable size and color in free flight.
The heart of the Butterfly House is the Tropical Conservatory, where you’ll find nearly 2,000 live tropical butterflies fluttering throughout the glass building. Here, visitors will be able to view more than 80 butterfly species as they fly freely among the 150 tropical plant species that grow inside the conservatory. Visitors to the conservatory will also have the chance to view the magical moment that occurs when a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis right before their eyes at the Miracle of Metamorphosis exhibit. The Emerson Family Theater shows the 17-minute film “The Butterfly Effect” on the hour and half hour throughout the day. This engaging film provides visitors with an introduction to butterfly behaviors and anatomy. Exhibit Hall is the place to go to find out more about butterflies and their other invertebrate cousins. The “Small Wonders” display is a living exhibit focusing on the habitats and lifestyles of other creepy crawly invertebrates, such as spiders and scorpions.
The “Butterflies of the World” exhibit provides visitors with a glimpse of the immense diversity of the world’s butterflies. And kids will enjoy the short film, “Butterflies,” which is shown continuously in the lobby hallway. Finally, don’t miss the exhibit on aquatic invertebrates. Outside in the Butterfly Garden, visitors will find a carefully prepared “backyard” demonstration garden. All of the plants in the garden were specially selected to serve as host plants for caterpillars and nectar sources for butterflies. Finally, the “Lopatapillar” attraction is the perfect place for kids to burn off any extra energy before the car ride home. Children are invited to climb on the 30-foot long caterpillar sculpture, which is always a big hit with the little ones. This summer, the Butterfly House has an exciting line up of events happening now through September. Families with little ones in tow should check out the Faust Park Fun Pass. For a cost of $10, this special pass provides visitors with Butterfly House admission and unlimited rides on the historic St. Louis Carousel. The original 1929 carousel was part of the Forest Park Highlands amusement park, which burned down in the 1960s. Now, visitors can enjoy a ride away from the rain and summer heat inside its current climate-controlled home in Faust Park. The pass is valid only on the day of purchase and available for purchase at both locations. Passes can be redeemed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and are not valid on Saturdays, Sundays
or Mondays. Coming up on June 12 and June 19 is the Firefly Festival at the Butterfly House. This magical event celebrates earth’s living lanterns with activities including a guided outdoor firefly walk, conservatory glow walk, snack station with cookie decorating, firefly craft that really glows and games. The Firefly Festival takes place from 8 to 9:30 p.m. on both dates. The cost is $10 per person. Missouri Botanical Garden members will receive a discounted admission cost of $8. The Butterfly House celebrates Missouri pollinators with its Pollinator Picnic from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 16, July 14 and Aug. 18. Each day of the event includes games, crafts and a picnic lunch from Local Harvest. The cost is $20 for adults and $15 for children, which includes Butterfly House admission and event activities. Members receive a discounted rate of $18 for adults and $13 for children. On July 20 and 21 is the Bug Hunt. During this exciting weekend, visitors will explore the amazing world of backyard insects and learn more about bugs with drop-in games and activities. A Butterfly Entomologist will take visitors with their nets outside into the Faust Park to find out how these creatures live. The Bug Hunt takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Field excursions are held at 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. The Bug Hunt is included

QuickGlance Movie Reviews
“Star Trek Into Darkness”
Like fan-boy fiction on a $185 million budget, director J.J. Abrams’ film is reverential, faithful and steeped in “Trek” mythology. It’s also an excessively derivative what-if rehash of themes and interactions that came before, most of the characters lesser copies and even caricatures of the originals. The scenario’s been hijacked and rejiggered from better “Trek” plots of decades ago, the best verbal exchanges lifted nearly verbatim from past adventures. In short, the new chiefs of Starfleet aren’t coming up with much to call their own. But they pile on the spectacle in a way that’s never been seen before in “Star Trek”; the action in “Into Darkness” is top-notch, the visuals grand, though the movie’s needless conversion to 3-D muddies the images. Abrams was most definitely not a fan-boy for this franchise when he made 2009’s “Star Trek,” which reintroduced Kirk, Spock and the rest of the starship Enterprise gang with a time-travel twist that allowed the William Shatner-Leonard Nimoy original to coexist with an entirely different destiny for the new players. Abrams grew up a fan of “Star Wars,” the next space saga he’ll be reviving with the launch of a third trilogy. But his key collaborators, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof, are “Trek” fan-boys to their marrow. They know this world, they love this world, and like many fans, they have a particular fixation on 1982’s “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” the best that the franchise has ever had to offer, on the big-screen or TV. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Zoe Saldana are among the returning ensemble cast. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence. RUNNING TIME: 132 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
“Stories We Tell”
A documentary about Sarah Polley’s family: her father and mother, sister and brother, and the sister and brother she has from her mother’s first marriage. It’s about moments they’ve shared that are seemingly prosaic and universally relatable, as well as the betrayals and losses that shaped and strengthened them. But while it’s incredibly specific in its detail and makes you feel as if you’ve known these people forever after spending less than two hours with them, “Stories We Tell” is also about every family. It reveals that we’re all unreliable narrators of our own histories, especially after years and even decades have gone by. And it reminds us that the truth is a fleeting thing, constantly changing in the slightest of ways depending on who’s telling it. Polley, the Toronto-based actress-turned-filmmaker, has shown astonishing emotional depth and technical maturity at a young age in just two previous features: “Away From Her” and “Take This Waltz.” Like those earlier films, “Stories We Tell” focuses on how a long-term relationship evolves over time. Now 34 and tackling a subject that’s so close to her heart, she reveals a whole new level of artistic mastery. RATED: PG-13 for thematic elements involving sexuality, brief strong language and smoking. RUNNING TIME: 108 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"Before Midnight"
The final scene of 2004's "Before Sunset" was so romantic it drove moviegoers crazy — happily crazy — especially because it was so tantalizingly ambiguous. Jesse and Celine, that appealing (and extremely talkative) couple played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who had fallen in love in the 1995 "Before Sunrise," had reunited at last. In the gorgeous afternoon light of Paris, no less. But we didn't know what would happen next. Nine years later, we have our answer, and

it was sure worth the wait. "Before Midnight," the third movie in the Richard Linklater series, is not only as good as the first two, it's arguably better, tackling weightier, trickier issues with wit, humor and breathtaking directness. The setting is still gorgeous — it's a summer vacation in Greece. (Will these two ever venture to an ugly locale?) But the rest is different. Delpy gives Celine a new hardness here, an edge that we saw only a bit in the previous film. And Hawke is extremely effective as a man who adores his partner but is increasingly frustrated with her. It all comes to a head in a humdinger of a fight — just Jesse and Celine in a hotel room, plus a bottle of wine that doesn't get drunk. It gets poured, though, and you'll be so frazzled, you'll want to reach through the screen and chug it down yourself. RATED: R for sexual content/nudity and language. RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"Fast & Furious 6"
Clearly, nobody ever told the makers of the "Fast & Furious" franchise that less is more. More is ALWAYS more — and so regular fans will be delighted with this latest installment, which again ups the ante with the cars, the crazy stunts, the crashes and the fights. Vin Diesel's Dom, now wealthy and living the good life, is lured back into action by his erstwhile nemesis, the federal agent Hobbs (the absurdly buff Dwayne Johnson). It seems a villain named Shaw has amassed a huge military arsenal — including a big tank and a cargo jet — and is one component short of wreaking total havoc. Even more important for Dom, he has Letty working for him — she's Dom's former paramour, and seems to be suffering from amnesia. A welcome — indeed, crucial — element of all this is the film's sense of humor. Especially funny are Tyrese Gibson as Roman and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Tej, Dom's partners in crime. Not everyone gets out alive. As for the lucrative franchise, though, it's clearly alive and kicking; there's even a post-credits teaser here for the seventh film. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout, some sexuality and language. RUNNING TIME: 130 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"The Hangover Part III"
"Daring" isn't a word you would use very much to describe 2011's "The Hangover Part II," the disappointingly lazy, beatfor-beat rehash of the wild and wildly successful original "Hangover" from 2009. And yet, here we are with part three, which runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors. It dares to alienate the very audience that made "The Hangover" the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time because, well, it isn't exactly a comedy. Sure, there are some outrageous lines and sight gags, mostly courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong, who function as central figures this time when, previously, a little bit of them went a long way. But director and co-writer Todd Phillips signals early and often that he's much more interested than ever before in exploring matters of real consequence rather than simply mining them for brash laughs. This time, Galifianakis' insufferable, inappropriate man-child Alan has gone off his meds and is out of control. His family and friends — including fellow "Wolfpack" members Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) — stage an intervention and offer to drive him to a treatment center in Arizona. Clearly, this won't be an innocuous trek through the desert. RATED: R for pervasive language including sexual
June 13, 2013
references, some violence and drug content, and brief graphic nudity. RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
“The Internship”
There are really three movie stars headlining this movie: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Google. Actually, it’s a surprise Google doesn’t get top billing over the humans, so adoringly is the company displayed. But if you can get past this Mother of All Product Placements, you’ll likely find yourself chuckling a lot during Shawn Levy’s silly but warmhearted film, with a script by Vaughn and Jared Stern. Sure, it could be shorter, less predictable, more believable. But this is Vaughn and Wilson, and if their onscreen banter doesn’t quite live up to the 2005 “Wedding Crashers,” it’s still pretty darned funny. Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson), watch salesmen, lose their jobs, and implausibly apply for an unpaid internship at Google. Which they implausibly get. (Their job interview, via video chat, is one of the funniest scenes.) A stern supervisor (the terrific Aasif Mandvi) describes the “Hunger Games”-like contest ahead, with only the winning intern team attaining Google employment. (Perhaps because Google helped out with the film, it is never once questioned that this is the ultimate place to work — from the free food to the nap pods to the adult-sized slides.) Generation gap jokes abound. Vaughn’s Billy keeps saying “on the line” instead of “online” — really, if he knew enough about Google to apply there, wouldn’t he know the term “online”? Still, it’s amusing. Will Billy and Nick survive their trial-by-technology? Do we really need to ask? RATED: PG-13 for sexuality, some crude humor, partying and language. RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
“Much Ado About Nothing”
Joss Whedon’s bare-bones contemporary adaptation is the cinematic equivalent of Shakespeare in the parking lot — and proof, again, that it doesn’t take much doing to bring Shakespeare to life. Whedon shot his “Much Ado” at his Los Angeles home over just 12 days immediately after production for a slightly larger film he directed: “The Avengers.” It’s almost surely the only time the Bard has been performed with a suburban golf course in the background. The verbal duel of “Much Ado” pits the proud bachelor Benedick (Alexis Denisof) against the quicktongued Beatrice (Amy Acker), as they sling clever put-downs back and forth, even as they’re drawn together by their scheming friends. Most of the cast (including, memorably, Nathan Fillion as the bumbling Constable Dogberry and Clark Gregg as the governor Leonato) are long-time Whedonites, veterans from his TV shows (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and films. One would expect Whedon, given his knack for wordplay, to highlight the verbal joisting and really chew the play’s choice lines. But much of the acting doesn’t make the language pop (Denisof is particularly without snap) and the wan black-and-white photography bleaches the play of its snappiness. Acker gives a likable and lithe performance, even if its lacks the commanding presence Beatrice deserves. More effort, it feels, went into making the play feel natural than making it sing. This “Much Ado” (for which Whedon also composed the music) is best considered a charming dress rehearsal. RATED: PG-13 for some sexuality and brief drug use. RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and half stars out of four.

This film publicity image released by Focus World shows Julian Assange in a scene from the documentary, "We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks."
"We Steal Secrets" a juicy film By DAVID ROONEY The Hollywood Reporter LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prolific documentary-maker Alex Gibney delivers a gripping account of the wins and losses of hard-charging idealism on the front lines of the information wars in “We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks.” Exhaustively researched and balanced in its view of the controversial key player, the film slips in ahead of DreamWorks’ dramatic take on the exploits of Julian Assange, “The Fifth Estate,” which is currently shooting. Unfolding like an espionage thriller
but with a methodical journalistic skill at organizing a mountain of facts, the film raises stimulating questions about transparency and freedom of information in a world in which governments and corporations have plenty to hide. It should be a magnet for op-ed coverage. I n a d d i t i o n t o Wi k i L e a k s f o u n d e r Assange, Gibney devotes almost equal time to the fascinating figure of U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, allegedly the source of the largest volume of classified military documents leaked by Assange. It’s an awkward irony that one of WikiLeaks’ first major coups was a 2007 video showing a U.S. Apache helicopter mowing down
unarmed civilians in Baghdad, released under the title “Collateral Murder.” Manning in a sense was also collateral damage. A brilliant but lonely tech geek from Bible-Belt Oklahoma struggling with gender-identity issues, he enlisted to get a government-funded college education. But his homosexuality made him a target for sergeants determined to “beat the macho into him.” Despite a supervisor ’s recommendation that he not be deployed, Manning went to Iraq as an intelligence analyst. But his isolation and unhappiness led him to dig deeper into easily cracked classified military files. Distressed by what he found
there, he reached out to WikiLeaks. While Assange has repeatedly asserted that WikiLeaks’ encryption systems ensure that its sources remain undetectable, the fact emerges that Manning took all the risks as well as the fall. He was betrayed by fellow hacktivist Adrian Lamo and held for almost a year at Quantico under conditions of extreme duress before being transferred to Fort Leavenworth, where he awaits trial in July. Hard evidence that the information spread by him has led to casualties or compromised missions remains elusive, according to Gibney’s film. Humiliation of the Pentagon appears to have been the bigger issue.
"Now You See Me" fun for all By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge Given my unique and relatively unfettered access to theatrical exhibition, I sometimes take movies for granted and have gotten creative with the way I choose to watch them. Let me stress my use of the word sometimes because I love 'going to the movies' almost as much as I love the movies themselves. This weekend, for instance, I saw the highly anticipated Now You See Me, an above average thriller about magician bank robbers. But I saw it in three parts spread out over two days. I saw the first hour on Sunday during the power outage that affected my neighborhood after Friday's tornado nonsense. Then I caught forty more minutes Monday
afternoon. That evening I went back and finished it off. Such is not the best way directors, camera operators, or those pesky WGA members want you to experience their art. It certainly is too expensive to do so for ticket buyers. For me, though, it worked out nicely and kept me very excited and interested in a movie that is exciting and interesting and that I've been waiting anxiously to see for more than half a year. Magic as misdirection is really the plot of "Now You See Me," a clever contraption of razzle dazzle that plays well for all audiences. A quartet of talented performers are recruited by an unknown entity to produce three elaborate stage shows that would put David Copperfield or Lance Burton to shame. Known as The Four Horsemen, sleight-
of-hand artist Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), the alluring Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), mentalist Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), and the pompous illusionist Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) each have strengths that only fortify their performance as a team. The true agenda behind the Horsemen's shows, financed by the wealthy industrialist Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine), slowly becomes apparent to both their in-house audiences and those in theatres watching the movie unfold. The first show features teleportation and Robin Hoods three million Euros from a Parisian bank. The second show fleeces a corporate giant and sets the do-gooder gang on the run from the law: a Frenchaccented Interpol officer (Melanie Laurent), a magic enthusiast, and
the FBI's disheveled Agent Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo, who always plays disheveled, no?). Grumpy Rhodes is often at odds with the Horsemen, especially the ill-mannered Atlas, who delights in making him look as silly during his investigation as the media portrays his constant failures to capture them. Both joining and hampering the case is former magician/debunking expert Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a slick, acid-tongued figure that delights in exposing the great secrets behind some of the biggest acts in history. His allegiance to justice, Tressler, and the Horsemen themselves is constantly shifting and offers some delightful comic relief to what is often heavy-handed thriller boilerplate. The best example of this features Franco's Wilder fighting off
June 13, 2013
Rhodes and a partner (Michael J. Kelly) in a seedy NYC apartment. He uses trickery, playing cards, and a bizarre "magical" curtain to thwart the two in fine showman's style before fleeing into what becomes an elaborate car chase through Brooklyn. "Now You See Me" is a show that guarantees a good time for all who go to see it, but I have to caution you to hurry and avoid those that would offer spoilers. The film's ending uses a game-changing twist that delivers on the line that Atlas uses throughout: "The closer you look, the less you see." "Now You See Me" runs 125 minutes and is rated PG-13 for language, some action and sexual content. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

As with any surgery, knee replacement surgery has serious risks which include, but are not limited to, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, and death. Implant related risks which may lead to a revision include dislocation, loosening, fracture, nerve damage, heterotopic bone formation (abnormal bone growth in tissue), wear of the implant, metal sensitivity, soft tissue imbalance, osteolysis (localized progressive bone loss), and reaction to particle debris.The information presented is for educational purposes only. Knee implants may not provide the same feel or performance characteristics experienced with a normal healthy joint. Speak to your doctor to decide if joint replacement surgery is appropriate for you. Individual results vary and not all patients will return to the same activity level. The lifetime of any device is limited and depends on several factors like weight and activity level. Your doctor will help counsel you about strategies to potentially prolong the lifetime of the device, including avoiding high-impact activities, such as running, as well as maintaining a healthy weight.

Religion Trinidad panel looks at Islamic uprising only Islamic revolt in the Western Hemisphere. The commission has held more than a dozen sessions over three years in an effort to understand better how and why the violent upheaval occurred. But the panel has no subpoena power and the findings are unlikely to lead to any arrests. And Bakr isn't hurrying to provide any answers. The towering 72-year-old, who dresses in a white robe and skullcap, recently gave The Associated Press a rare interview. Bakr said he hasn't decided if he'll testify before the five-member commission, which is expected to finish collecting testimony by year's end. He said the panel won't learn anything important unless he agrees to help. "I am the architect; I am the leader of the coup," Bakr told the AP at the Jamaat al Muslimeen group's compound, where youngsters carried their books from a two-story school and a group of men chatted outside
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — The Muslim cleric who led a small army that stormed Trinidad & Tobago's parliament in a blaze of gunfire is a free man. Never convicted of any charges, he cheerfully presides over a mosque and school complex in the country's bustling capital and shares time among his four wives, the maximum Islam allows. Yasin Abu Bakr and his followers were jailed for two years after the 1990 attempt to overthrow the government of one of the Caribbean's most prosperous countries. But they were freed under an amnesty and attempts to prosecute them failed even though 24 people were killed. More than 50 people were taken hostage, including the prime minister, who was bound and shot in the leg. After years of lingering questions about the attempted coup by Bakr and 113 armed rebels, a commission appointed by the government in 2010 has been taking a fresh look into the
a spacious domed mosque. "I know everything that happened. If I don't testify to all the things that happened everybody is just guessing." Against this backdrop, Vice President Joe Biden is visiting Trinidad Tuesday for trade and security talks with Prime Minister Kamala Kamla Persad-Bissessar and other Caribbean politicians. The commission's work is not on the agenda, even though the failed rebellion by the Islamic group still looms large for the region in a post 9-11 world. For some people in Trinidad, Bakr's group remains a painful reminder of the deadly uprising that staggered the Caribbean country's sense of itself as an easygoing land of calypso, cricket and British-style democracy. "We need to unearth all the facts if only from the point of view of recording history, but perhaps we can also suss out any strategic weaknesses that may still remain," said Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran,
who was held hostage on the first day of the coup attempt launched July 27, 1990, and who was instrumental in launching the inquiry. There is no evidence linking Bakr and his group of mostly black converts to Islam to international terrorism. U.S. authorities scrutinized the group after discovering a failed 2007 plot to blow up jet fuel tanks at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Federal investigators reported that a Trinidadian imam and a U.S. citizen from Guyana who were convicted in the case had earlier visited Jamaat's Trinidad compound, but no definitive connection was found. Some researchers say that Islam isn't the group's central focus. Jamaat "may be Islamist in its pedigree in that it relied and continues in some respect to use Islamic discourse and symbols ... but it was always more of a revolutionary, pan-Africanist movement than
anything else," said Chris Zambelis, a Washington-based risk management consultant who specializes in the Middle East but has researched Jamaat and interviewed members in Trinidad. Bakr's reasons for attempting to take over the government have never been fully clear. A former policeman who converted to Islam while living in Canada and who drew followers mainly among poor urban blacks in Trinidad's slums, Bakr has blamed the islands' government in the past for increasing hardship after world oil prices collapsed in the 1980s. He told AP that he also blamed then-Prime Minister Arthur N.R. Robinson's administration for the slaying of a female police constable who he insists had witnessed a cocaine transaction involving a government minister. The group was also in a dispute with the government over the compound's land.

Nutritional labels to alcoholic beverages? WASHINGTON (AP) — Alcoholic beverages soon could have nutritional labels like those on food packaging, but only if the producers want to put them there. The Treasury Department, which regulates alcohol, said this past week that beer, wine and spirits companies can use labels that include serving size, servings per container, calories, carbohydrates, protein and fat per serving. Such package labels have never before been approved. The labels are voluntary, so it will be up to beverage companies to decide whether to use them on their products. The decision is a temporary, first step while the Alcohol and Tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau, or TTB, continues to consider final rules on alcohol labels. Rules proposed in 2007 would have made labels mandatory, but the agency never made the rules final. The labeling regulation, issued May 28, comes after a decade of lobbying by hard liquor companies and consumer groups, with clearly different goals. The liquor companies want to advertise low calories and low carbohydrates in their products. Consumer groups want alcoholic drinks to have the same transparency as packaged foods, which are required to be labeled.
“This is actually bringing alcoholic beverages into the modern era,� says Guy Smith, an executive vice president at Diageo, the world’s largest distiller and maker of such well-known brands as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Jose Cuervo and Tanqueray. Diageo asked the bureau in 2003 to allow the company to add that information to its products as lowcarbohydrate diets were gaining in popularity. Almost 10 years later, Smith said he expects Diageo gradually to put the new labels on all of its products, which include a small number of beer and wine companies. “It’s something consumers have come to expect,� Smith said. “In time, it’s going to be, why isn’t it there?� Not all alcohol companies are expected to use labels. Among those that may take a pass are beer companies, which don’t want consumers counting calories, and winemakers, which don’t want to ruin the sleek look of their bottles. T h e Wi n e I n s t i t u t e , w h i c h represents more than a thousand California wineries, said in a statement that it supports the ruling but “experience suggests that such information is not a key factor in consumer purchase decisions about wine.�

The Liposonix treatment is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses advanced ultrasound technology to permanently destroy unwanted abdominal fat just beneath the skin. • Noticeable results after just one treatment • Customizable to address specific “problem” areas
• Non-surgical with little to no downtime • Backed by over 10 years of research and testing
The Liposonix treatment is available at our office. To find out if you are a candidate, call us today for more information. *Average waistline reduction is 1 inch or 25 cm. Office visit time and individual results may vary. Results typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks. Not a replacment for liosuction surgery or a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight.
