Wearable Defibrillator Helps Those At High Risk Of Heart Attack
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Experts estimate 30 percent of sudden cardiac deaths happen overnight. A new wearable device has helped some people live to see another day.
In the middle of the night Everett Campbell was suddenly stirred from his sleep. The warning came from something his wife Barbara was wearing.
"I saw her jump when it shocked her the first time," he said.
When it happened again, "she opened her eyes, had no idea of what had just happened to her," Everett said.
"I hadn't felt anything. I just thought I woke up," said Barbara Campbell, who has a history of heart problems.
Barbara had been shocked by the LifeVest when her heart went into arrhythmia.
Dr. John McPherson prescribed it to her after putting a stent in her heart.
"The LifeVest acts as a type of insurance policy," said McPherson, Associate Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
The device's sensors keep track of a patient's heart rate and the pads will help restart it by sending strong electrical charges through the body.
"They are 75 percent as strong as the paddles that we would use in the hospital," said McPherson.
"It saved my life," said Barbara.
Today Barbara is back to making Afghans, enjoying her grandkids, and getting ready to celebrate 50 years of marriage. Everett believes, thanks to the LifeVest, there will be many more anniversaries.
"We might go for a record, you know, 71, or 2, or 3, or something like that maybe," Everett said.
The LifeVest is designed to be worn around the clock. Barbara wore it for three months before her near fatal incident.
McPherson said it can help patients as their hearts regain strength after procedures. He said the only downside is the risk of the vest shocking patients when it's not needed. There are safety features in place to help prevent that.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Ford Edge
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
The new Edge crossover vehicle has a winning design.
Ford Motor's new Edge crossover vehicle should improve the automaker's fortunes because it's stylish, roomy and has strong performance.
Ford's fairly new Fusion midsize sedan is a hit, and the Edge arrives at the right time. That's because the crossover market is rapidly expanding as consumers switch from SUVs to roomy car-based crossover vehicles that deliver better fuel economy and are easier to drive.
However, the Edge isn't a "make-or-break" Ford vehicle because preliminary estimates say only 100,000 units will be sold annually, not hundreds of thousands of units.
However, that's a fairly good number in an increasingly crowded market. And any successful vehicle will be welcome that enhances the reputation of troubled Ford, which has relied too heavily on trucks such as its Explorer SUV, which has seen declining sales as more crossovers steal former SUV buyers.
The Edge's three-bar chromed grille is similar to the Fusion's and is on its way to becoming more of a Ford trademark grille. The Edge's aggressively raked windshield and fast-sloping rear window provide the feeling of motion possessed by many successfully styled vehicles.
The Edge's wheels are pulled to the extreme corners of its body for a powerful stance and also for more secure handling and a comfortable ride. The raised beltline (area just below the windows) emphasizes the sculpted "shoulders" that are formed around sharp wheel arches.
Good Example
The Edge is based on the platform of the sporty Mazda CX-7 crossover, which Mazda says has "the soul of a sports car." Ford owns part of Mazda and the CX-7 has a solid platform on which to base a good Ford-badged crossover.
Mainstream Vehicle
The Edge has no third-row seat because Ford can't have its various vehicles "stepping on" each other. That is, Ford also sells it Freestyle and Explorer—and upcoming Fairlane—with a third seat.
The front bucket seats are supportive, but gauges seem designed more for style than function, although they're not all that hard to read. Front doors have beverage holders and storage pockets, while rear doors have juice box holders.
The front console has dual cupholders, but their cover partially blocks a driver's reach for a drink when it's opened, which seems like a silly design flaw. After all, a driver is busy driving and his reach for anything shouldn't be hindered.
The split rear seatbacks recline and also flip forward and sit flat to enlarge the spacious cargo area. An optional front passenger seatback folds forward to accommodate long objects while allowing the rear hatch to be closed. The cargo area has a conveniently low, wide opening.
The Edge comes in base SE or upscale SEL trim with front- or all-wheel drive (AWD). Prices for front-wheel-drive trim levels range from $25,320 to $29,070, while all-wheel-drive versions go for $26,970 to $30,720.
The AWD system has no low-range gearing for tough off-road driving. Ford says the Edge provides "confident all-weather (road) driving." In other words, leave the rough off-road stuff to its SUVs.
Impressive New Engine
Power is sent through a responsive new automatic transmission, which has six speeds for better performance and higher fuel economy. The automatic was developed with (no kidding) General Motors to hold down costs. There's no manual shift feature, but it's really not needed.
Fuel economy is decent: an estimated 18 mpg in the city and 25 on highways with front-wheel drive and 17 and 24 with all-wheel drive. Only 87-octane is required.
Good Roadability
The ride is supple, and stopping distances are short during normal driving. The brake pedal has a progressive action for consistently smooth stops.
Standard safety features include anti-lock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags. The Edge also has Ford's Advance Trac with Roll Stability Control traction/anti-skid control system. Roll Stability Control is unique in that it utilizes two gyroscopic sensors.
The Edge is well-equipped. Standard SE items include manual air conditioning, speed control, AM/FM/Single CD/MP3 capable audio system with four speakers, front console—along with power windows, mirrors and locks with remote keyless entry.
Added for the SEL are a 6-way power driver's seat, premium CDx6 with nine speakers, steering wheel audio controls, unique interior treatments, overhead console, dual illuminated visor mirrors, fog lights and chrome tips for the Edge's nifty dual exhaust outlets.
A good number of options include SIRIUS Satellite Radio. But the best ones are reserved for the SEL: handsomely stitched leather seats, 6-way power front passenger seat, heated front seats, fold-flat front passenger seat, remote release for second row fold-flat seats, dual automatic temperature control, audiophile sound, 18-inch (vs. standard 17-inch) wheels and DVD entertainment and navigation systems.
Panoramic Roof
The engine compartment is covered by a hood held open with a prop rod instead of a more convenient hydraulic strut, but fluid filler areas can be easily reached.
The Edge should do well because it offers features many buyers of crossover vehicles—and even autos—want.

text: content February 18, 2006 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive Study finds adherence to supplement regimen improves protection against fracture risk Protocol Osteoporosis Featured Products Bone Restore Biosil Life Extension magazine February 2006 Soy reduces fracture risk in women, by Marc Ellman, MD Life Extension Update Exclusive Study finds adherence to supplement regimen improves protection against fracture risk The results of a study reported in the February 16, 2006 New England Journal of Medicine found a small benefit in hip fracture risk reduction associated with calcium and vitamin D supplementation for 36,282 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Trial. Participants who received calcium and vitamin D experienced a 12 percent reduction in hip fracture risk compared to those who received a placebo. However, even though 76 percent of the participants were still taking their supplements at the end of the seven year study, only 59 percent were taking the recommended dose. When data from women whose adherence to their regimens was below 80 percent was excluded from the analysis, the reduction in hip fracture risk among those taking calcium and vitamin D more than doubled to a 29 percent lower risk than the placebo group. The dosage of vitamin D in this study was 400 international units, an amount determined to be too low to maintain optimal serum levels of the vitamin in other research. Additionally, the form of calcium used was calcium carbonate, which is commonly sold as an antacid and is not known to be one of better absorbed forms of the mineral. The study also found that the supplements had a greater effect on older women than on those who were recently menopausal. The authors of the study conclude that "the findings provide evidence of a positive effect of calcium with vitamin D on bone health in older postmenopausal women." Lead author Rebecca Jackson, who is an associate professor of internal medicine and physical medicine at Ohio State University Medical Center, commented, " The value of a study this large is that it does show, even if only on a small scale, that the intervention can be effective to lower the risk of osteoporosis within two to three years. A physician isn't needed to prescribe these supplements. All this means any supplementation of this kind is potentially beneficial, particularly in women over 60 years old. That's a huge finding." "This all really points to the ability of women at highest risk for osteoporosis to make their own informed choices about supplements they take," Dr Jackson added. Protocol Osteoporosis Calcium is the mineral that automatically comes to mind when considering osteoporosis treatment. However, although bone contains large amounts of calcium, other minerals need to be considered as important in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. For example, other trace minerals (minerals needed in small amounts for specific tasks--usually enzyme activation) would include zinc, magnesium, boron, and silicon. Many people in North America who consume an average diet have magnesium deficiency, and magnesium is important in bone structure. Magnesium deficiency comes about because most magnesium in our diet comes from the magnesium contained in the chlorophyll molecule found mainly in dark green leafy vegetables--not something that most people eat on a daily basis. Magnesium intake should be about half that of calcium, approximately 300-500 mg per day. If not provided in the diet, then magnesium should be supplemented. Some researchers are now also reporting that magnesium deficiency plays a significant role in the development of osteoporosis (Dreosti 1995). Studies have shown that women with osteoporosis tend to have a lower magnesium intake than normal and lower levels of magnesium in their bones. Recommendations for postmenopausal women to increase calcium intake can lead to an unfavorable Ca to Mg ratio unless the magnesium intake is increased accordingly; the optimum ratio of Ca to Mg is believed to be 2:1. A magnesium deficiency can also affect the production of the biologically active form of vitamin D, thereby further promoting osteoporosis. Some research shows that magnesium supplementation is effective in treating osteoporosis. Magnesium supplementation (over and above the current recommended daily allowance) may suppress bone turnover in young adults and some researchers speculate that it may also help prevent age-related osteoporosis (Dimai et al. 1998). http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-085.shtml Featured Products Bone Restore A problem overlooked by most doctors is that loss of bone density is associated with deficiencies of not just calcium, but a host of other nutrients including magnesium and vitamin D3. In order for calcium to prevent bone loss, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, manganese and other nutrients should be available so that calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Another issue that many people are not aware of is that many forms of calcium do not absorb particularly well. In order to overcome the impediments that preclude aging women from achieving optimal calcium status, a mineral formula has been designed that provides 1,200 elemental milligrams of a new highly absorbable form of calcium per daily dose, along with critically important nutrients needed to promote healthy bones. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00779.html Biosil Silicon supplementation is useful for: Bones: Silicon helps maintain bone density and strength by facilitating the deposit of calcium and other minerals into bone tissue. Joints: Silicon is vital for cartilage development and the integrity of joints and ligaments. Cardiovascular health: Silicon is essential for the strength and integrity of the arteries. Nails: Silicon helps nails grow faster and harder. Hair: Silicon helps hair grow thicker and stronger. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00371.html Life Extension magazine February 2006 In the news: Soy reduces fracture risk in women, by Marc Ellman, MD Regular soy consumption reduces bone fracture risk in postmenopausal women, according to recent findings published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Researchers at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville and the Shanghai Cancer Institute in Shanghai, China, examined the relationship between soy food consumption and fracture incidence in nearly 25,000 postmenopausal women as part of the Shanghai Women's Health Study. Women who consumed the most soy had an approximately 35% decreased risk of fractures compared to women who consumed the least soy. The benefit was greatest for women within 10 years of menopause, as high soy food consumption in that group was related to an approximately 50% reduction in bone fracture risk. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/feb2006_itn_01.htm If you have questions or comments concerning this issue or past issues of Life Extension Update, send them to email@example.com or call 954 202 7716.

Hearing Set In Putnam Property Tax Case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A judge has set the first hearing date in one of the largest property tax battles in Tennessee's history.
It follows issues first reported in a NewsChannel 5 investigation into property tax appraisals in Putnam County.
The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury determined last year that Putnam County's former property assessor undervalued nearly two hundred properties by more than $82 million over three years.
The comptroller is demanding that the owners of those properties pay years of back taxes and penalties to the county.
But most of the property owners are appealing the comptroller's ruling.
An administrative judge set the first hearing date for January 28, 2014, in Cookeville.
The state hopes to collect property taxes going back three years.
But by law, the only way it can collect taxes that far back is to show that fraud occurred.
Former Putnam County Property Assessor Rhonda Chaffin has maintained she always played by the rules.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked her last year, "Are you helping people pay less in property taxes?"
"No. That is not even a possibility," Chaffin said.
The comptroller claimed her office excessively depreciated properties in such a way that owners paid less in property taxes.
So far, only four property owners have withdrawn their appeals and agreed to pay the taxes. The rest are fighting.
This week an administrative judge ordered lawyers for both sides to group the appeals into three categories and report back next week.
The judge's order states appeals should be grouped into cases involving alleged fraud or deception by the taxpayer.
Or property allegedly undervalued by a "grossly inadequate" amount so as invoke "presumptive fraud" by the assessor.
Or a third category of properties that were allegedly omitted from the tax rolls.
Our investigation found multi-million dollar apartment complexes that were not even listed on the tax rolls.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Chaffin last year, "How are entire apartment complexes not on the tax rolls?"
Chaffin responded, "One problem that we had."
Chaffin claims her office made just one mistake by leaving one apartment complex off the rolls.
But our investigation and the state found others, like an apartment on Hillham Road.
The state valued the complex at $3.5 million, but the owner only paid taxes on the value of the land -- just $300 in 2011.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked, "What about Hillham Road?"
Chaffin responded, "You think it was done one year. I think it was done another year."
Chaffin said the apartment complex was not finished in 2011, even though NewsChannel5 Investigates found people who said they lived there at the time.
No criminal charges have been filed in this case.
The January hearing only involves whether taxpayers owe money.
It's the fist of many hearings to come.
Putnam County and the City of Cookeville could collect more than $1 million in taxes and penalties.

Blaine coach Rob Adams quits, joins Lynden
Rob Adams is leaving the coaching ranks at Blaine, moving on to become girls basketball coach at Lynden high school this next school year.
"It's not like I'm going over to the dark side," he joked, "more like the green and gold side."
A 1991 Blaine high school graduate, Adams has coached in various sports since returning here after graduating from Eastern Washington University in 1995. He took over the girl's team from Pat Green in 2004. He also coached the girl's softball team for four years, helping them to transition from slow-pitch to fast pitch.
Adams said that he wasn't looking for a change but was contacted last month after Lynden declined to renew former coach Marcy Hershey's contract. Hershey took a team of mostly sophomores to an eighth place finish in the 2A state tournament and an over-all record of 13-15.
Adams said the decision was heavily influenced by family considerations. His wife, Julie Fullner Adams, is a Lynden graduate and most of her family still lives there. "If I had been wanting to move there's a lot of openings right now that I could have applied for, but I like it in Blaine and wasn't looking for a move," Adams said, "but when this came along Julie and I talked about it and it's really a no-brainer, so I applied and they hired me."
As of now Adams still is on the
Blaine high school faculty teaching math and learning skills
classes. That could change by the fall, he said.
"I met with the team members who are here," he said, "and we talked about it." Adams still runs the Blaine open gym for them during the day.
played baseball, basketball and football while in high
school on some very good teams from 1988 to 1991. He played
second on Blaine's only state champion
baseball team in 1990.
Coach says last chance for baseball until next spring
If Ichiro Suzuki's inside the park home run last Tuesday night wasn't enough baseball for you, the core of next year's Blaine high school team plays a double header Thursday evening at the Pipe against Granite Falls.
Playing under the banner of their sponsor, Blaine's Sports Unlimited store, the games get underway at 5 p.m. with the nightcap beginning about 6:45 p.m.
The games cap a short summer season that saw the Borderites sweep a four-game tournament here last weekend.
Coach Gary Clausen said he was pleased with the team's performance, with 34 runs scored in four games and some strong defensive performance as well.
Daniel Gorze, a junior next fall, showed good versatility in catching two games, playing shortstop for one and pitching the third game, an 8-5 win over Lynden that was called after six due to a time limit. Gorze was named the team's defensive MVP.
Offensive honors went to Kyle Olason, who got eight hits in the four games as well as getting a save against Lynden and a seven inning complete game win against a tough Ferndale squad 5-4 in the final championship game.
Blaine opened the tournament last weekend with a 9-3 win over Nooksack pitched by Greg Grashear, a junior next fall. Brandon Bleecker pitched six innings of the second game and beat Granite Falls 12-2. Daniel Gorze pitched the third game the next day, beating Lynden 8-5, with help in the sixth inning from Olason.

Compliance and Enforcement Annual Results 2011 Fiscal Year
Program Highlights
- Collaboration with
Enforcement Partners
- Criminal
- Cleanup
- Federal Facilities
- Environmental
- Compliance Activities
In fiscal year 2011, EPA concluded 57 enforcement actions against federal agencies, federal corporations and contractors at federal facilities for alleged violations of environmental laws. These actions will reduce, treat, or eliminate an estimated 713 million pounds of pollutants. Violators will pay approximately $9 million in penalties and invest an estimated $5 billion in cleanup and improved operations to comply with environmental laws.
EPA also successfully concluded negotiations for three CERCLA cleanup agreements (also known as Federal Facility Agreements (FFAs)) at United States installations located on the National Priorities List (NPL):
- Ft. Detrick, Maryland (U.S.Army) - Region 3 also concluded the FFA for the cleanup of the Ft. Detrick with the Army. Given the local community's concern with the risks associated with many of Ft. Detrick's historic activities and the serious nature of the contamination, EPA and the Army reached agreement quickly, well before the statute required the agreement. (Read the news release on the Ft. Detrick cleanup agreement.)
- Air Force Plant #44 in Arizona (U.S. Air Force) - Region 9's resolve to press the Air Force to meet its legal obligations at this site dates back even before 2007, when the Region issued a Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) imminent and substantial endangerment order to protect the public. The new FFA should finally afford the accountability required for this cleanup. (Read the news release on the Air Force Plan #44 cleanup agreement.)
- Joint Base Andrews in Maryland (U.S. Air Force) - Region 3 pursued the Air Force for many years to achieve the long overdue FFA for the cleanup of Joint Base Andrews. Like Air Force Plant #44, the effective FFA for Joint Base Andrews will enable EPA to perform its statutory role of ensuring the cleanup is protective of human health and the environment. (Read the news release on the Joint Base Andrews cleanup agreement.)
In three years, from 2008 to 2011, EPA completed 11 of the outstanding FFAs required by CERCLA at Federal facilities on the NPL. Concluding these agreements reduced the number of outstanding, legally required FFAs to three out of a total of approximately 151 FFAs completed since 1988.

The leader or the follower?
With any idea or movement, the leader stands out as the core, the person who deserves credit for all. We commend leaders and and aspire to be them. The followers, however, get the short end of the stick. People do not realize that followers often emulate other followers, not leaders. They can relate to followers and receive motivation more easily. Nevertheless, leaders are necessary. They create the ideas. But what idea can grow without the follower?
Who, in your opinion, is more important: the leader or the follower?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 3 2011: It kind of varies, right? The leader is important because they are the innovators and without a starting point there can be no follow up. The follower is important because they keep the leader grounded, with the support of the follower the leader can easily obtain his/her goal and share the experience.
Of-course then there are those who treat the followers as servants, and the leaders are the kings, in which case the servant never gets recognized and the king takes all the credit. But even this differs from person to person, a big heart will have more room to share the goods then a stiff one.
Sep 3 2011: Micheal,
I think assigning or seeking credit is missing the value of both. All deserve credit, but if credit is the goal, the endeavor is inherently superficial.
The risk of assigning either sole credit is that it undermines the myriad and dynamic contributions of all involved. The best leaders are good because a big part of what they do is coax followers to see themselves as leaders who spread the idea in different vernaculars, sectors and environments. If followers are assigned credit as followers, its far harder for them to break out of following to lead. If leaders see themselves only as leaders, they'll learn far less from so-called followers whose iterations and interpretations of the leaders original ideas are often powerful agents for growth, evolution and perpetuation of originating ideas.
So either title and any attempts to assign value is limited if it is seen as static, linear or stereotypical. In truth, I think followers struggle most with this. If they choose not to see themselves as leaders in some dimension of what they follow, what they follow will struggle to thrive.
The challenge for all is to look for, nurture and develop those passions and skills that each uniquely possess. The co-reflective effect can be powerful for both. This often requires the leader to, well, take the lead in recognizing and engaging followers as co-leaders. But, it also requires followers to seeing themselves as co-leaders, which can take time and some discomfort to venture out of the safeness of blending into the crowds.

Dance team finishes eighth at Chick-Fil-A Cheer and Dance Collegiate Championship in Florida
Tryouts for next year's team take place Wednesday, April 26, Friday, April 28, at O'Connor Sports Center
04/24/06The Xavier dance team finished eighth at the Chick-Fil-A Cheer and Dance Collegiate Championship in Daytona Beach, Fla., April 5-9. This is the second consecutive year the squad has competed in the competition. The squad was 15th after the preliminary rounds and wound up finishing eighth in the challenge cup. Towson University won the nationals for the fifth straight year.
The dance team competed in Division I against more than a dozen other teams. Their money-themed routine incorporated hip-hop, jazz and pom dance moves. The squad's music, costumes and props also had a money theme.
"I wish the placing turned out differently, especially for my two seniors on the team," says Coach Steve Chapla, 30. "But overall I was very proud of the girls."
Tryouts for next year's dance team are being held Wednesday, April 26, and Friday, April 28, at the O'Connor Sports Center. During the school year the squad practices four hours a week. Team members are also required to do an additional hour of cardio conditioning each week. Contact Chapla at 513 266-7989 for more information.
During the school year, the team performed during half-time at several men's and women's basketball games. They also performed around the Cincinnati area including a few performances at local high schools.

TCGA Opens Doors For Students
How can the Texas Cotton Ginners Association encourage today's college students to consider a career in ginning? It's not as easy as you might think, but TCGA has taken some giant steps in the last two years with its highly successful internship program. After TCGA conducted a study of how such a program would be launched and coordinated, the first intern was hired in the summer of 2008.
Students undergo interviews, a demanding application process, and then TCGA communications manager and special projects coordinator Aaron Nelsen makes the final decision on who is chosen.
The interns are matched with gins in the West Texas area during the first part of the summer. They are given the chance to observe all facets of a gin operation during that time, including the marketing of cotton, financial decisions, gin safety and management of employees.
During the second part of the summer, they move to South Texas where they work for another five to six weeks in a gin actually processing cotton.
Excellent Job Opportunity
The 2009 interns were Drew Mahaffey and Steve Craig, both students at Texas A&M University. They will receive their undergraduate degrees in May.
"This is a real partnership between TCGA, the gins and Texas A&M, and the reaction has been very good so far," says Nelsen. "We are doing our best to give these students some valuable exposure in how a gin operates.
"The feedback we have received is that our two young interns were fantastic workers, energetic, and both of them are extremely interested in pursuing some kind of career in the ginning industry."
Craig worked at the Slaton Co-op Gin during the early part of last summer. Meanwhile, Mahaffey was employed at the Idalou Co-op Gin during his time in West Texas. Both students spent the latter part of the summer working for manager Jimmy Roppolo at
the Farmers Co-op Gin in El Campo.
Memorable Experience
Nelsen says both interns were pleased by the entire summer experience, and it "definitely exceeded their expectations."
To make the internship experience even more meaningful, TCGA will pay their travel expenses to Lubbock so that they can attend the organization's Annual Meeting and Trade Show on April 8-9.
"Being able to go to the meeting in Lubbock will be a real bonus for them," says Nelsen. "You couldn't ask for a better opportunity to make good contacts in the industry."
It's a win-win situation for all parties. The program offers young students a chance to pursue a ginning career. Conversely, it gives TCGA a chance to find the next generation of ginners in Texas.
Contact Tommy Horton at (901) 767-4020 or email@example.com. For more information about the TCGA internship program, contact Aaron Nelsen at email@example.com or call (512) 476-8388.

Insane property!!! Felt like being in a resort!
We are a group of friends who decided to book this incredible Villa. We had great expectations when we booked and I must say that this Villa totally rocked!! It really felt like being in a resort. The property is immense and offers so many things to do that we literally stayed in the Villa during the most part of the time. This just become our dream Villa! It's great for big groups of family or just friends because there's so much to do that everyone gets involved. Here's the perfect day spent there: wake up and have breakfast outside with the immense green in front of us; play football in a very well kept pitch (the owner keeps it in perfect conditions because he knows several football professional players that plays in big European leagues); Others prefered to play Tennis; the pool and jacuzzi is great and the bar is right in front. We had plenty beer and the bar offers everything you can think of. The barbecue is great and located right next to the bar. The disco is packed with pro equipment!! DJ plates; smokes machine; incredible lights and sound and also a projector. So fun!!! There is a spectacular fresh fish restaurant 'O Pescador' only 800 mts from the villa. All fish lovers should try it. Thank you so much to the owners for receiving us so well in this property. We will (for sure) be back very soon! P.F.

Comfy, but
"This shoe ran true to size. And once broken in are amazingly comfy. I can walk in very high heels, with a tiny bit of extra care. But with these, They are high but require no care. It's like being in sneaker. The only problem with them is the first day breaking them in. I wore them about five hours, did a lot of mall walking and three of my toes were walking sores and blisters. I had bandaids for days, wore them a few more times w the bandaids. Now I am good w them but initially I wanted to cry thinking I was done with them for good. Now they are a go to shoe over my other high heels"

Best pair of wedges
"This is my first pair of the Lucky Brand shoe and now I'm looking forward to what other shoes they have to offer because these shoes are so comfortable and they are great for the summer. I love wedges but I'm already tall so I didn't want a pair of wedges that would make me look like a tower. They're the perfect height and provide the level of comfort needed to enjoy these shoes throughout the day without regretting it later. I'm hoping to add the orange and tan to my collection soon."

PPC Bidding & Bid Management
With PPC advertising a lot of the success of your campaign will depend on whether you get your bid management right. Whether you're bidding to get a certain return on investment or cost per acquisition or whether position and visibility is your aim, it will have a huge impact on your bid management.
Relying On Bid Management Software
Software tools have forever changed the way pay per click campaigns are administered. With these systems you can use sophisticated programmes to tailor campaigns to certain numerical criteria. At SiteVisibility we use our own internal tools and industry standard software to manage our campaign but we don't rely on them exclusively.
A tool will optimise and improve your campaign but it won't choose new keywords, nor will it trial new ad copy or try bids to place you in positions where you haven't been historically.
Our bid management relies on three elements:
- Your objectives: How much do you want to pay for each visitor and ultimately how much do you want to spend for a sale?
- Your budget: How do you make the most of your budget, can we tailor bids to get as much bang for your buck as possible?
- Your market place: How much competition is there? Are people following a short sighted strategy and paying over the odds?
Want to learn about how you can improve your bid management? Get in touch.

Courses on Islamic law at the Law School are part of the large elective curriculum offered by the Law School and along with courses on American constitutional law, administrative law, animal rights law, immigration lawto mention only a few of the more than 200 offeredlead towards the three degrees it offers: the J.D., LL.M., and S.J.D. The latter two are advanced degrees in law, comprising one and three years respectively. None of the degrees leads specifically to a degree in Islamic law or the laws of the Muslim world but to general law degrees, or to one of the concentrations offered in the Master's year.
All students and affiliates of Harvard University are very welcome to take part in ILSP's activities. To be a student at Harvard University, one must apply to the school from where one wants to earn a degree. For law, that would be Harvard Law School.

Burbank residents in the area of 85th Street and Narragansett had to be evacuated Thursday, after a storm brought heavy rain and severe flood water to southwest suburb.
The town of Summit assisted Burbank's evacuation effort with a boat and a staging area was set up at Edward Tobin School to receive residents.
Pastor Jeff Urban who leads the Church of God located at 8420 Narragansett Ave in Burbank, sent flood photos to FOX 32 News to show the extent of the flooding.
He said Thursday's flood was third time in three years that storm sewers overflowed, and that the 87th Street reservoir crested because of electricity and pump malfunctions.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Richard Merrick said...
Thematically, yeah that could work. Otherwise, it just seems like a cop-out. Besides, I cannot count the amount of times I've seen melee weapons (and some stat sticks like for hunters/feral druids) that I only WISH were itemized for casters, instead, based on their in-game models.
Sure, casters get a pretty good number of nice-looking things but the other weapons just overwhelm them as far as my memory can recollect. Having this weapon model for casters practically makes up for this as it is just that awesome.
Regardless, speaking for weapons IN GENERAL now...I really wish that every single holiday which provides weapons for one section of players would have alternate ones (different models, obviously) for EVERYONE ELSE.
However, I doubt this would ever be implemented as Blizzard wants each holiday to feel unique in addition to also not encouraging the blathering band-wagon of 'WoW is too homogenized' to lunge at their proverbial throats any further.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Things are changing in Coldwater for the Downtown Development Authority and the Downtown Business Association. Both organizations are without full time directors. DBA Co-coordinator Lisa Avisa announced last week that she has taken a full time position with a local business and the DDA's Christine Bowman resigned early this year. The DDA at their monthly meeting Wednesday heard a presentation from City Manager Jeff Budd outlining a proposal that would have the City, DDA and DBA working together as a team to accomplish the goals of filling vacant buildings and bringing more people into the city through festivals and events.
To that end, the DDA approved a proposal to give the DBA ten thousand dollars to help defray the cost of the events including Icefest, Entertainment Under the Stars, the Alamo Car Cruise and Christmas events, activities that traditionally cost more than they bring in. There was a consensus that ultimately there should be something happening every weekend downtown.
In other action, the board heard a report from an engineering firm on the four downtown parking lots. The first option was to repair current potholes and repave the lots with one and a half inches of asphalt at a cost of $392,000.
Option two would give minimal improvements for critical areas at a cost of 1.4 million dollars and option three would include reconstruction of the lots at a cost of 2.4 million dollars. The engineer stresses that options one and two, while less expensive, have significantly higher maintenance costs going out 20 and 40 years. The lots were constructed in 1970 and repaved in 1993 and built in 1970. There are also sewer and electrical problems in all of the lots. No final decisions were made yesterday with further information to be collected. The Coldwater City Council has the final word before any plans are implemented.

Stocks rise on European data, US retail sales
Growth reports in Germany and France come in better than forecast. Retail sales in the US increase for the first time in 4 months. Groupon shares plunge to record low on a revenue miss and lowered outlook. Home Depot climbs as it beats expectations.
Stocks edged higher Tuesday morning after slightly better-than-expected economic data from Europe and a strong July retail sales report in the U.S. Solid results from several retailers also helped push stocks higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was up 36 points at 13,205. The S&P 500 ($INX) was up 4 points at 1,408. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was up 7 points at 3,029.
U.S. retail sales increased 0.8% in July, much higher than the 0.2% growth economists had expected. It was the biggest gain in four months and could point to a rebound in consumer spending and higher U.S. GDP growth in the third quarter. Core sales, excluding autos, gasoline and building materials, rose by 0.9% -- the biggest gain since January.
European shares rose after German and French economic growth slowed less than forecast in the second quarter despite a wider regional debt crisis that has dragged several eurozone nations back into recession.
Germany's GDP rose 0.3%. Economists had predicted a 0.2% increase, according to Bloomberg News. French GDP was unchanged, better than the 0.1% decline economists had predicted. The eurozone GDP, however, contracted by 0.2%, dragged down by a 1.2% decline in Portugal and a 0.4% fall in Spain.
- MORE MARKETS | Commodities | Treasurys | Currencies | World stocks
After U.S. stocks ended slightly lower Monday on concerns about a global slowdown, some called the gains in world markets Tuesday a relief rally. Others say markets have been generally moving up on hopes for ECB plans to bring stability to the region and intervention by other central banks to address the faltering global growth with new stimulus measures.
That hope might have helped push up oil prices Tuesday, with Brent crude reaching nearly $114 a barrel. U.S. crude stocks data, due later in the day from the American Petroleum Institute, should provide more insight into oil demand growth in the U.S. Stockpiles are forecast to have fallen by 1.6 million barrels last week, declining for a third straight week on lower imports.
Also out this morning were wholesale prices. Produce prices rose a sharper-than-expected 0.3% in July after seasonable adjustments, with food prices rising 0.5% and energy prices falling 0.4%. Economists had expected a 0.2% rise in the PPI. While lower energy prices could help give the economy a boost, the higher core inflation could be a concern for policymakers.
Business inventories -- a key component of GDP -- rose 0.1% in June as car dealers restocked to meet demand. Economists had forecast inventories to rise by 0.2%, according to Reuters. However, business sales fell for the third straight month. At this pace, it would take 1.29 months for businesses to clear shelves, the highest measure for the reading since February 2010.
Groupon (GRPN) shares lost nearly a quarter of their value, plunging to record lows, after the company reported second-quarter results. While profit beat expectations, revenue missed estimates and the daily-deals website forecast for the third quarter was also well below analyst estimates. The company says the forecast is the result of its needing to invest in the business, as well as the economic situation in Europe.
Home Depot (HD) reported a better-than-expected second-quarter profit and raised its fiscal-year earnings guidance Tuesday. Net earnings rose to $1.53 billion, or $1.01 a share, in the quarter from $1.36 billion, or 86 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts were expecting a profit of 97 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters.
Pfizer (PFE) cut its full-year profit forecast to reflect the impact of a deal with AstraZeneca (AZN) and said it expects to spend more on research and development. The largest pharmaceutical in the world said it would pay about $250 million to gain access to exclusive global rights for the over-the-counter version of British drugmaker's heartburn pill Nexium.
Michael Kors (KORS) shares rose after the luxury goods retailer said it earned $0.34 per share for its first quarter, well above estimates of $0.20, while revenue also beat consensus forecasts by a wide margin. The company also sees current quarter earnings coming in above Street estimates.
Estee Lauder (EL) reported solid sales across all regions and the quarter's results topped Wall Street expectation. The beauty company also gave a first-quarter outlook and fiscal 2013 revenue forecast above expectations.
Despite catering to high-end consumers, often considered immune to economic volatility, Saks (SKS) reported a wider fiscal second-quarter loss. The loss, however, was narrower than expected.
JDS Uniphase (JDSU) swung to a fiscal third-quarter loss as the broadband-products maker saw a drop in sales in its core businesses. While results were inline with Wall Street's expectations, the company issued a disappointing guidance.
It's just sad, because neither candidate has any hope of winning unless they go negative. No one in their right mind would ever offer a specific plan at this point, because it would just become fodder for their opponent. Look at the demagoguery surrounding Ryan's budget plan - that went on for a year, BEFORE he was even on the ticket.
At some point, the American people are going to have to realize the folly of the "lesser of two evils" vote. They are going to have to realize that voting against a candidate isn't actually possible and that the illusion of doing so is exactly why we always get stuck with politicians instead of representatives. This is all a direct result of allowing only 2 political parties to control everything.
At some point, the American people need to start valuing and demanding specific ideas and plans and agendas and strategies from their candidates, and then make their choice based on that information. When they finally start doing this, it shouldn't take long to get rid of this ridiculous 2-party system.
Imagine what our electoral process would look like if we had 5 major political parties. There's no way a candidate could be successful by just trying to demonize the other 4 candidates. Instead, they'd be forced to offer specific plans and ideas and then spend their campaign time and dollars convincing people that their plan was the best one.
Some of you are in favor of term limits. It's not that hard to win re-election and be a career politician if you only have to face one viable opponent every election cycle. That would all likely change if you were up against 4 major opponents.
If we had 5 major political parties, we'd be so much less polarized. Instead of the neanderthal approach of "Side A is good and Side B is bad", it would be much more positive and nuanced. With 5 major candidates, we'd be much more likely to vote for the one with the best ideas, instead of the candidate that is better at slinging mud. Ultimately, isn't that what we want, more positive ideas and less negative mud slinging? As long as 90% of you continue to feed the donkeys and elephants, it will be nothing but slop, as far as the eye can see.
These finacial idiots dont have a clue!!! One day its the stock fall on growth worries, the next day they rise on a good growth report. If they would look around they would see unemployment at 8.3% and inflation starting to take off. Th is economy sucks no matter how the lib's want to spin it. Gas at $4/gal and food price rising daily. Utilities are out of sight. And the prez is worried how he and Mic-Hell-e look on TV.
I have a cute story on regulation.Saturday my wife and I decided to walk to the farmers market downtown, our accountant was working a booth for the Lions Club selling pop,hot dogs ,sloppy joes and such for charities.THey were visited by our local food safety person(on a Saturday ,probably double time in pay) looked in the cooler of pop,noticed pop floating in ice water,made them dump the water because it could contaminate the other soda's . Really? they probably sold a case all day-Is this the job creation we get from government or just another waste of taxpayer money.
feels partially true, but scary when countries like korea have upwards of 50 parties running for a given positon. we currently have 3 parties if the libertarian is included. but only the main 2 parties are funded by the big money. makes one wonder how a 3rd much less 5th party can get into play of the big money isn't funding it.
>>>>If we had 5 major political parties, we'd be so much less polarized. Instead of the neanderthal approach of "Side A is good and Side B is bad", it would be much more positive and nuanced. <<<<
interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years
after diagnosis:
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received
treatment within six months:
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it
within six months:
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within
one month:
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are
in "excellent health":
England 2%
Canada 6%
And now for the last statistic:
National Health Insurance?
England YES
Canada YES
Check this last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is.a real-life business, not a
government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt................... 38%
Taft................................ 40%
Wilson .......................... 52%
Harding.......................... 49%
Coolidge......................... 48%
Hoover ........................... 42%
F. Roosevelt .................. 50%
Truman........................... 50%
Eisenhower...................... 57%
Kennedy.......................... 30%
Johnson........................... 47%
Nixon............................... 53%
Ford................................. 42%
Carter............................... 32%
Reagan.............................. 56%
GH Bush.......................... 51%
Clinton ............................. 39%
GW Bush........................... 55%
Obama................................ 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has
never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff
and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."
if july sales are up its due back to kids Going back to school and parents spending the hard earned put back cash, this what made the sales go up, but the people i know and hang out with are not spending money. i wonder how they are gonna spin the august sales pitch, gas prices are already taking a bite out of my spending and the lights and grocery bill are going out of sight.
i hardly trust any thing that the government is putting out this day and time.
We had a great summer Olympic run. The USA got over 100 medals with almost 50 of them being Gold. However, I really don't think all those athletes earned their Gold Medals. It always amazes me that some athletes think they are better than others. Some athletes think that they are stronger or faster or work harder than the other ones do, but, I have to tell you there are a lot of hard-working athletes out there. There are a lot of smart ones too. These Gold medal athletes didn't get there on their own. They didn't do it on their own. Along the way, they had some help. In the name of fairness, Obama should invite them all to the White House and take away their medals and give them to the people that didn't receive medals… Get it? Got it? I doubt it.

our team
jonathan rollo
chef / owner
Jonathan Rollo, one of LA's top celebrity chefs, is most fired up about the success and growth of, Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop. Born and raised in Pasadena,
California, Rollo graduated from Loyola High School here in Los Angeles and earned his bachelors in Human and Organizational Development at Vanderbilt University.
He then trained at Le Cordon Bleu and the Culinary and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, where he began working as a prep cook with The Rosebud Group. Eventually moving back to Los Angeles, he joined The Patina Group one of Southern California's premiere restaurant groups. He left the group in Spring of 2007 to bring Greenleaf to life and hasn't looked back since.
He has also traveled extensively, eating his way around the world (staying for longer than his welcome in Western Europe). "I wanted to take what I've learned from my Mom, family and friends, plus the different cultures I've experienced, combine it with my restaurant experience and offer something fresh, delicious, healthy and unique in a fun, eco-conscious environment for the neighborhood!" says Jon.
Earliest food memory:
Sitting on the kitchen stool watching my Mom assemble meals; breakfast, dinner or even sack lunches.
Favorite meal growing up:
Apple cinnamon baked pancakes.
Jon's best recent food find:
Greenleaf's Huevos Rancheros. My team updated the recipe, and I couldn't help but eat it with a HUGE smile on my face.
Most undervalued ingredient:
Maybe not the most undervalued, but different kinds of vinegars can go a long way. Rice wine and apple cider, for example-- their flavors can singularly enhance a dish or be as simple as a dressing or marinade.
What is the philosophy behind Greenleaf's concept?:
Providing the highest quality fresh ingredients will allow our customers to eat better and discover that you don't have to give up flavor or taste in order to make healthy choices.
Culinarily speaking, Orange County has the best:
Backyard honey. It's amazing. Obviously the local produce and fruit is second to none, but the honey is awesome.
What is your beverage of choice?:
Currently, San Pellegrino Sparkling Water with Blood Orange. Although, I am a fan of sparkling rose-- it goes with practically everything.
Where else do you plan on expanding to besides OC Mart Mix?:
I have my sights set on Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Downtown LA, Pasadena, Studio City and Calabasas, just to name a few.
Could you explain a vent-less hood system?:
First thing that comes to mind is "Yikes!" It's expensive, but basically, it's a self-contained hood system that filters the air instead of just sending it out the side of a building. The system removes grease, any pollutants and carbon emissions air and recycles it.
One food you can't live without:
Pomegranates. I'm obsessed. Easily my favorite fruit. I use the seeds in everything: salads, sauces, cereal, drinks, protein shakes, etc.
Where was your most recent meal?:
I made a quick salad of arugula, quinoa, grilled butternut squash, pomegranate seeds and chicken. A little olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Done.
Best culinary tip for the home cook:
Batches. Cook in batches. Soups, pastas and starches (like quinoa), marinades, sauces, etc. Save yourself the time.
What's growing in the on-site garden?:
Right now it's lemons and greens.
We love the aesthetic of the dining area. What are your signature elements?:
My family tables and chairs. I turned my Mom's breakfast table and my 3rd grade desk into dining tables on our patio!
Favorite chef:
Kristi Ritchey. I know she works with me, but I feel blessed to work with someone who inspires me every day-- not to mention, she made a bouillabaisse for a dinner party we catered last weekend that blew my mind!
Weirdest thing you've ever eaten:
Chocolate covered ants. Fried grasshoppers. Snake heart. Don't worry, you won't find any of those on the Greenleaf menu.
Favorite places to eat (besides your own):
In LA: Ado Venice. In OC: Tabu Shabu after work. They are open late and I love their sukiyaki.
You're making breakfast. What are you having?:
A breakfast burrito-- filled with egg whites, our black bean and roasted corn salsa and a little avocado pesto. Yes, please!
We read you worked for The Patina Group at the Hollywood Bowl. What was cooking for such high volume crowds like?:
Every service was different because every concert crowd was different. We could swing from selling 10,000 hot dogs and 300 kegs of beer for Rolling Stones one night to 900 luxurious sit down dinners with paired wines for the Philharmonic the next night. Talk about having to think on your feet, literally!
Weirdest customer request (and did you do it?):
The weirdest are usually the chicken sandwich without the chicken OR the tuna quesadilla without the tortillas. But the two strangest are an order for cold gazpacho heated up (with ice cubes on the side) and a rare steak, cooked through, but no blood on the plate. I'm sorry, but I still don't understand that one.
kristi ritchey
executive chef
When it comes to crafting the ideal menu to support a healthy lifestyle, Executive Chef Kristi Ritchey is the perfect chef for the job. Recently featured in both USA Today and the LA Times for her own personal weight-loss triumph, Chef Ritchey knows exactly what it takes to live healthier through good eating by adjusting the way you view food and the way you approach each day. Out of necessity, she changed her lifestyle, and in less than a year she lost over 110 pounds by focusing on a healthier diet and a consistent exercise regimen including Barry's Bootcamp in West Hollywood. As she told USA Today, "It's why I love being a part of Greenleaf, trying to help people be healthier. I want to help others the way I've been helped and pay it forward."
A native of Williamsport, PA, Chef Ritchey first caught the cooking bug while working at a small, traditional Italian restaurant in the city. The owner of the restaurant saw so much potential in her that he urged her to pursue a professional career in the culinary arts. After attending culinary school at Pennsylvania College of Technology, Chef Ritchey relocated to California's Napa Valley, where she first landed a cooking position with Restaurant Pinot Blanc, the area's flagship restaurant from Chef Joachim Splichal's Los Angeles-based Patina Group. There, under the tutelage of Chef Greg Stillman, Chef Ritchey was promoted to the position of Sous Chef in less than a year. To this day, Chef Ritchey credits Chef Stillman as one of the greatest positive influences on her cooking style and philosophy. From Pinot Blanc, the Patina Group relocated Chef Ritchey to Palm Springs, for the opening of Eat at The Desert in the chic Hotel Zoso and then soon thereafter she was asked to assist with the opening of the company's Eat on Sunset with Chef Gary Menes.
After Eat on Sunset was up and running, Chef Ritchey was sought after by entrepreneurs Sandy Sachs and Robin Gans, who asked her to come on board as Executive Chef for their first Los Angeles restaurant project, Murano Restaurant and Lounge. Chef Ritchey joined the Murano team in the early planning stages, assisting with kitchen designs, menu concepts and staffing. While at Murano, LA Direct Magazine named her one of LA's Top Chefs, stating, "There aren't many 26-year-old female Executive Chefs in the Los Angeles arena of fine dining. Kristi Ritchey, the mastermind behind the French-Italian menu at the new Murano Restaurant in West Hollywood, has earned her title by having tremendous dedication to her passion for cooking."
In June of 2008, Chef Ritchey left Murano to join friend and former Patina co-worker Jonathan Rollo with the opening of his first restaurant, Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop in Beverly Hills. As Executive Chef of Greenleaf, Chef Ritchey assisted in developing many of the key items on their menu. "Eating healthy is a lifestyle, not a diet", says Ritchey, who is thriving in a kitchen that combines her passion for creating unique gourmet dishes and her desire to combine those tastes with a healthy lifestyle.

Bravo! Yes girls want to succeed just like boys do. It is the worst form of prejudice and insecurity not to allow young women their chance at life. This movie touches and informs us about the inequality women suffer.

"Knowledge is power."
I attended the Girl Rising documentary film this past weekend directed by Richard E. Robins, a moving and inspirational film that highlighted the lives of young girls around the world. The film captured the innocence gained and lost yet the perseverance that each one endured to overcome their circumstances.
The film features voice over from Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchet, Selena Gomez, Liam Neeson, Priyanka Chopra, Chloe Moretz, Freida Pinto, Salma Hayek, Meryl Streep, Alicia Keyes and Kerry Washington.
It's a film that highlights the journey of 9 wonderful young girls: Ruksana the Dreamer, Suma the Emancipated, Yasmin the Defender, Senna the Warrior, Azmera the Courageous, Amina the Hopeful, Wadley the Undaunted, Mariama the Catalyst.
This movie work is fabulous, with vibrant colors and intertwined animations to illustrate the stories of challenges and success for each one of these young women. Exposing both the beauty of each one and the dark obstacles each one has faced.
In other parts of the world the reality for young, poor girls is a fate expected to work, fetch water and care for children with many culture norms it is typical to send off their young women to work for others because they cannot afford school costs. If they can afford it, many send the boys in the family and the girls have to work, or married off.
In many developing cases up to 75% of AIDs cases are girls or women. In some places the #1 death of girls or young women between the age of 15 and 19 years old is child bearing.
The documentary movie assigned a writer to each of the young women's personal story. From Ruksana from India to Senna in Peru, each story follows the triumph and strife these young women have lived. It's main message, girls that get educated grow in better living situations, having the ability to care for themselves and t heir family and making a difference not only in their own life, but community and country.
With the support of 10×0, Intel sponsored the movie, along with CNN films. It's a tribute to young women around the world. Please visit intel.com/women and review an interesting report on the digital divide, take action and host a screening or text 55155 to donate.

Through dignified narrations, creative imagery, spectacular cinematography, and strident dictations of statistics, Girl Rising stirs audiences from long-held but passive recognition of atrocities to active concern for million of women who suffer tortuously every day. Girl Rising introduces 10x10 and offers a viable plan for confronting generations who demean and often vilify females simply because so many men maintain puerile needs for self-aggrandizement. Girl Rising brings options and optimism to those of us in comfortable circumstances who choose to be indifferent to the misery of countless girls. Girl Rising presents the provocative perspective that the oppression of girls hurts us all, maybe not physically, but surely economically, environmentally, and spiritually.
See the movie, take your loved ones, and find out how to participate in 10x10. You'll help yourself and more than 66 million girls world wide.
For me and those closest to me, I thank Intel, the producers, directors, and staff of Girl Rising. You have given us a work of literature and a course of action (10x10) to carry with us each day.
Girl Rising is a work of art that ensure that we won't leave the theater without artful choices.

Spectacular film! Not only beautifully told, heartwarming, heart wrenching, superb cinematography but each story told a different version of the same terrible theme and most of all the audience CARED about each and every girl! I didn't want the film to end! This film brings its audience to action for these girls and millions like them! What a success! I rate this film EXCELLENT! 5 Stars!!!

Girl Rising is the most inspirational movie! Using gifted writers, famous movie stars and countless people working in production, fundraising, media and partnerships with worldwide organizations; it shows us mirrors to the lives of millions of girls with insurmountable odds to meaningful existence. And yet Girl Rising also shows us that with generous support from caring people there is always hope, that with determination and perseverance a good life is ahead, that the future would become better for these girls and for this world!! Thank you, Intel and 10x10act.org.

The movie shows the challenges that girls face outside the U.S. Each story is unique and illustrates how education can make such difference. I hope every person who sees it is inspired to make a difference in the lives of girls they know and ones they may not know.

It's hard to get the mix of moving storytelling, advocacy for an important issue and stop-you-in-your tracks statistics right - but Girl Rising does it.
And it's also just a beautiful film, inspiring girls, inspired writing and drop dead gorgeous cinematography. Everyone has a different favorite story/girl - and that's part of the fun.

A very well done and powerful film on the global importance of educating girls. The film takes you on a great trip around the world to show real life examples of how young girls' lives can be drastically effected by the lack of, or access to, an education. Definitely worth seeing and supporting...

Spectacular lives, beautiful cinematography, precious stories and amazingly poignant. Deeply moving and speckled with humor and a direct call-to-action, this true documentary of the lives of nine girls around the world is in a genre of its own. Richard Robbins re-invents the documentary/true film/impact movie space with his own style of mixed media, surprising camera angles, animation and action through a script written by famous authors (e.g. Edwidge Dandicat, Mona Eltahawy) and eloquently narrated by A-list actors (e.g Meryl Streep, Liam Neeson, Alica Keys, Selena Gomez, etc.). At the same time, it is not the film alone you are experiencing, it is the call-to-action of a movement that 10x10Act.org is spawning through a social media campaign which uses the film as its central message board. And it really works. Their use of a brand new demand-based distribution model (www.gathr.us also seems to be working - with sold-out theaters throughout the US. The March 13, 2013, NYT Most Popular Movies list shows Girl Rising as number 6! And the Gathr experience makes the viewing seem like your own Hollywood premier. A definite MUST SEE.

This film is beautifully done and sends a powerful message about the benefits of educating girls in developing countries. It is touching, entertaining, and an important tool for raising awareness about this issue.

I loved this film. It had a clear message without being political. It gave statistics not opinion. I wanted to know more ways to get involved.

Help! I've just accidentally given Girl Rising at 2 star rating, and I meant to give it 5!
Girl Rising left me simultaneously glued to my seat and ready to jump up into action. The stories in the film will stick with me for a long time and provide a source of incredible inspiration. I definitely recommend this film!

I recently saw this at an event on March 7 by a women's interest group. It was a remarkable film albeit too long, but it is an important tool to start a dialogue about girls' rights and the lack of access to education in developing countries. It should be a requirement for American children to see, we are raising a generation of kids that don't understand the value of an education or that an education is a privilege not a right in many places. Here's an interesting recap of the event I attended with feedback from other viewers. I do have to say that there was a palpable energy in the theater and after the film, people were definitely energized to help. http://www.womenyoushouldknow.net/186-people-rose-with-wysk-for-girl-ris...
