About the Volkswagen Cabriolet
Built on the Rabbit platform (and essentially a continuation of the Rabbit convertible, though the Rabbit name itself was discontinued in the U.S. after 1984), the Volkswagen Cabriolet has been described as "cute, cuddly," and at times, "feminine" (though it certainly has had its share of male fans). Throughout its run, the Cabriolet was powered by a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine that initially generated 90 hp but later was upgraded to 94 hp. A five-speed manual overdrive transmission was standard, though a three-speed automatic was offered as an option.
Various trim packages were offered throughout the Cabriolet's run, including the Base, Bestseller, Carat, Classic, Wolfsburg, and Etienne Aigner edition (offered for only the 1991 model year). The car featured bucket seats (either cloth or leatherette, depending on the year and trim package), power windows and a driver's-side airbag (both from 1990 on), three-point rear seat safety belts (from 1991 on), and an AM/FM/cassette radio. Various trim packages offered additional standard and optional features, as well as special exterior and interior colors, and special wheels and body features.
Generally drivers considered the '91 Cabriolet a "fun" car to own and drive, probably largely because of that drop top, which was its big appeal. While the quality of the car was considered to be good by drivers, they did note that repairs could be expensive.

Dynamic Shortest Path Algorithms for Hypergraphs
Source: University of Calgary
A hypergraph is a set V of vertices and a set of non-empty subsets of V, called hyperedges. Unlike graphs, hypergraphs can capture higher-order interactions in social and communication networks that go beyond a simple union of pairwise relationships. In this paper, the authors consider the shortest path problem in hypergraphs. They develop two algorithms for finding and maintaining the shortest hyperpaths in a dynamic network with both weight and topological changes. These two algorithms are the first to address the fully dynamic shortest path problem in a general hypergraph. They complement each other by partitioning the application space based on the nature of the change dynamics and the type of the hypergraph.

The Scottish unemployment rate is estimated to outstrip that of the UK and hit its highest level since 1993, according to a new report.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) estimates the labour market will be weaker than it was before the financial crisis as public sector jobs are cut.
In a report, the CEBR adds: "The unemployment rate in the country is forecast to rise to above that of the UK average in 2012 and remain there until at least 2016, reaching 9.7% that year. The last time that the rate surpassed this was in 1993."
The CEBR found that unemployment is likely to continue to rise over the next five years in every part of the UK except the South East and East of England, as well as London.
The report is described as an "upward revision" to unemployment rates estimated in October last year, blamed on a "generally weaker" economic outlook.
Rob Harbron, one of the report's authors and an economist at CEBR, said: "Five more years of pain are expected for much of the UK, with unemployment continuing to rise in almost every region.
"The outlook is tough for UK households, particularly those in places with a high dependency on public sector employment. Family budgets are being squeezed between the pressures of rising unemployment, low earnings growth and stubbornly high inflation."
However, finance secretary John Swinney said: "The fact is that the Scottish economy outperformed the UK as a whole in terms of GDP growth over the last two quarters of 2011 combined - and we have a higher employment rate, lower unemployment, and lower economic inactivity in Scotland compared to the position south of the border.
"The most recent real figures show that Scotland's unemployment level fell by 12,000 over the three month period December-February 2012 - the biggest fall in unemployment in Scotland for over a year."

Looking for some good news for religious organizations that seek to exercise their right to select voting members and leaders on the basis of their religious beliefs? Then look no further than ADF's recent settlement of a lawsuit we filed on behalf of a Christian student group at the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG). The group, called Make Up Your Own Mind (MUYOM), seeks to promote biblical teachings regarding the sanctity of human life and abstinence before marriage, all in an effort to help students avoid unplanned pregnancies and, if such a pregnancy occurs, to encourage them to make a life-affirming choice regarding their unborn child. The group draws its mission, beliefs, and views from the Bible. Like most belief-based private groups, MUYOM requires its voting members and leaders to agree with its religious beliefs to maintain control over its mission and expression.
As I described in an earlier post, despite clear evidence of the group's Christian identity and beliefs, UNCG denied MUYOM recognition because it determined that it was not religious and thus did not qualify for a belief-based exemption UNCG provides to its nondiscrimination policy. This exemption permits groups formed to promote a certain set of beliefs to require their members and leaders to share those beliefs, and still obtain recognition and the vital access it provides to get their messages out on campus. Under the exemption, UNCG would not condition requests for recognition from the Democrat club, the Planned Parenthood club, or an animal rights club on their willingness to open membership and leadership to students who disagree with their core beliefs, yet that is exactly what UNCG was demanding of MUYOM.
Thankfully, UNCG changed course shortly after we filed suit. The university has granted MUYOM recognition, while permitting the group to maintain its religious belief-based membership and leadership criteria. Further, as part of settlement, the university agreed that the belief-based exemption to its nondiscrimination policy permits religious (and nonreligious) groups to restrict members and leaders to the groups' beliefs, and that the "nature, depth or type of the group's beliefs (whether they are religious, political or other) will not be a factor in determining whether a group receives recognition."
The settlement ensures that religious and nonreligious student groups at UNCG will be able to exercise their First Amendment associational rights to impose belief-based criteria when selecting the people who control and lead them. UNCG's positive response to our lawsuit, and its commitment to respecting the associational rights of student groups on its campus, is a perfect counterpoint to Vanderbilt University's much-reported-on and unfortunate assault on the associational rights of religious student groups at its university. Rather than fixating on Vanderbilt's trampling of religious groups' associational rights, let's take a moment to commend a university that respects them and encourages others to follow suit.

International Arbitration This seminar examines the law and practice of international commercial arbitration. We will consider the characteristics of international arbitration including its advantages and disadvantages as a form of dispute resolution, the law applicable to international arbitration including the New York Convention, Federal Arbitration Act, UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and the rules of major arbitration institutions such as the ICC, ICDR and LCIA. We will also cover topics such as drafting arbitration agreements, the selection of arbitrators, the conduct of arbitration proceedings, the role of national courts, and enforcing and setting aside arbitral awards.
In order to meld theory with practice, students will work on the Problem that will be released by the Vis International Commercial Moot competition. As time permits, practical exercises will be used such as drafting arbitration clauses, drafting awards and oral arguments.
Students will have the opportunity to compete for a place on the team that will represent Northwestern in the William C. Vis International Commercial Moot held in Vienna in April 2011.
Students will be graded on their memoranda, several short writing assignments and class participation.

Welcome, guest
December 19, 2008
The holiday season is proving anything but joyful for investors in Ken Griffin's beleaguered Citadel Investment Group.
Following a decline of nearly 50% in its flagship multistrategy vehicle, and redemption requests for about $1.2 billion, Citadel has joined the growing list of hedge funds to freeze client withdrawals.
The Chicago firm has also shut down its special situations group and has said it will cover a substantial portion of the strategy's management fees in 2008 – assuming the expenses itself, rather than passing them on to investors in line with its usual approach.
Yesterday, Standard & Poor's lowered both its long and short-term counterparty credit...

The 9 swing states of 2012
Our favorite part of the general election campaign is fiddling with the electoral map to puzzle out the paths to 270 electoral votes for each of the candidates. (And, yes, there's an app for that.)
We did a fair amount of noodling on the map over the weekend for our Monday Fix newspaper column — yes, we write in the newspaper occasionally too! — and came up with our initial analysis of the playing field.
To our mind, there are nine truly swing states — Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin — where the election will be decided. Those states will hand out 110 electoral votes in November, roughly 41 percent of the 270 votes President Obama or former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney need to win.
Obama starts with the edge in these swing states. He carried all nine in 2008 with an average margin of victory of 7.6 percentage points. But, six of the nine states went for George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004.
Our quick take on each of the nine states is after the jump. We will be revisiting our swing states — and the broader electoral map — lots between now and November so stay tuned!
* Colorado: One of the six of our swing states that Bush carried twice, Colorado seemed relatively immune to the Republican wave that swept the country in 2010. While two House Democrats fell, Democrats won the governor's race (due, at least in part, to a Republican candidate disaster) and a very contested Senate race. The battle, as it always is in Colorado, will come down to the Denver suburbs.
* Florida: President Obama's three-point victory in 2008 was quickly erased in 2010 when Republicans won the governorship, the open seat Senate race and four U.S. House seats. Gov. Rick Scott (R) is not at all popular but if Romney puts Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on the ticket it could be the tipping point that Republicans need to win.
* Iowa: If there was a single adopted home state for Obama in 2008 it was Iowa where he won the caucuses in January and then swept to a convincing nine-point win in the fall. But, like much of the upper Midwest, Republicans made major gains in Iowa in 2010 — including defeating a Democratic incumbent governor and easily reelecting Sen. Chuck Grassley (R). Obama's convincing victory in 2008 also belies the inherent competitiveness of the Hawkeye State. Bush carried it in 2004 and then Vice President Al Gore eked out a .3 percentage point win in 2000.
* Nevada: This is the most competitive small (by population) state in the country. Obama's 12-point margin in 2008 obscured an incredibly competitive state where Bush won in 2004 and 2000. The collapse of the housing market (and the general economic struggle) has its epicenter in the state where the February unemployment was at 12.3 percent, the highest in the country.
* New Hampshire: New Hampshire has a very interesting electoral past. It was the only state that Gore lost in 2000 that Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry won in 2004. (Much of that has to do with regional loyalty, wethinks.) Obama carried the state by nine points in 2008 but Republicans won both House seats and an open Senate seat in 2010.
* North Carolina: Of our nine swing states, Obama's winning margin was narrowest in the Tar Heel State. (He won by .4 percentage points.) The Obama team clearly signaled that they believe they can win again in 2012 by putting the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. The central question is likely to be whether Obama can turn out as many young people in this college-heavy state as he did in 2008. With massive 18-29 turnout, North Carolina looks doable for Obama. Without it, probably not.
* Ohio: Of the larger (population) swing states, Ohio may be the toughest for Obama. Why? It's an older and whiter population than, say, Florida, and those two constituencies have long been Obama's weakest. And, while he won in 2008, it wasn't by the overwhelming margin with which he carried other swing states. (Obama won Ohio by four.)
* Virginia: If you are looking for the swingiest state in the country, the Commonwealth has a very good case to make. On the one hand, Obama was the first Democrat to win it since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. On the other, the massive growth of northern Virginia population-wise has changed the electoral calculus for the better for Democrats. If Romney puts Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell on the national ticket, that tells you all you need to know about the importance of Virginia.
* Wisconsin: The Badger State will play host to not one but two major national elections this year. The first will the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker (R) in June; the second will be the presidential race in November. Democrats rightly note that they have carried Wisconsin in each of the last five elections and that Obama won it by a whopping 14 points in 2008. But, if you believe 2012 will look a lot like 2004 when it comes to the electoral map — and we do — then there is reason for Republican optimism. That year, Bush lost Wisconsin by just .4 percentage points to Kerry.

What Our Academic Editing Service Does Not Do
Our editing of academic work for graduate students—specifically papers, theses, and dissertations turned in for credit toward college and university degrees—adheres to strict ethical standards. We are all college professors and we do not approve of editing services that violate ethical standards. Such editing services are helping people defraud the public by passing off work they bought as their own work. Frankly and bluntly, such cheating constitutes fraud and such people who buy papers and dissertations are, themselves, frauds.
Please take note of the following:
We are NOT a paper-writing or dissertation-writing service.
We do NOT do any conceptual thinking, research, or extensive writing for our clients.
If you have any doubt whether or not your professor approves of your employment of our editing service, please check with him or her.
We reserve the right to reject any submission that is so poorly written it cannot be ethically edited.

Desolation Sound
Desolation Sound Marine Park this park is a boater's delight with over 6,350 acres of shoreline and water making it the largest Marine Park in B.C., as well as the only major park of any kind on the Pacific mainland coast of Canada. The park can be split up into three major destination anchorages: Prideaux Haven, Tenedo's Bay and Grace Harbour. The topography of the park varies from relatively low rolling hills of Gifford Peninsula to the Unwin Range rising over 4,500 feet directly behind Prideaux Haven. There are many safe anchorage locations, most of which are either totally or partly enclosed by low shoreline or high cliffs, islands or mountainsides. Warm waters make Desolation Sound Marine Park an ideal place to swim and scuba dive, saltwater and freshwater fishing, and walk-in wilderness camping.Water taxis, guided kayak tours, cruises and boat charters can be arranged from Lund and Okeover Inlet.

When you mmap a region from a device or file, the kernel places page translations for that region into your vm_area. The regions themselves aren't backed until faulted. For write (i.e. incoming command to target) you specify the write flag and send the area off to receive the data. The gather, expecting the pages to be overwritten, backs them with pages marked dirty but doesn't fault in the contents (unless it already exists in the page cache). The kernel writes the data to the pages and the dirty pages go back to the user. msync() flushes them to the device. The disadvantage of all this is that the handle for the I/O if you will is a virtual address in a user process that doesn't actually care to see the data. non-x86 architectures will do flushes/invalidates on this address space as the I/O occurs. Well, there's no real evidence that zero copy or lack of it is a problem yet. James --

Mental Revelations of the Progressing Grappler Continue
This essay is a follow up on "Mental Revelations of The Progressing Grappler." I am pleased to announce that the initial list was not exhaustive (though I never purported it to be), and even as I have continued to progress, my eyes are continually being opened to new features and aspects of grappling. My prayer is that you are exposed to this revelation at an earlier stage in your training than I was and therefore are able to tailor your training to make your grappling as sharp as it can be.
Nature and Existence of "Scrambles":
A scramble is a period of time within a match/roll where movement is opened up, neither participant has full control, and the apparent pace of the match quickens noticeably. Continue reading
"Feel The Pressure" Workshop a Huge Success in South Dakota
1/28/12, Tim Sledd ventured to Rapid City, South Dakota to teach the "Feel the Pressure" workshop. Blessings abounded as several students partook in a semi-private lesson, followed by an open roll of the advanced students. The workshop was packed and the concepts of the workshop were explored and enjoyed by all who attended. Pics to come on the Small Axe Facebook Page.
Tim Sledd Promoted to Black Belt by Andre Galvao!!!
The Power of Facebook/ Upcoming Events
Since I am an avid Facebook user, I set up a Facebook page for Small Axe Jiu Jitsu… Like it and get the most current Small Axe news and info.
October 15, 2011 will be the next Andre Galvao seminar at Small Axe!!!! Come check it out!
February Andre Galvao Seminar Review
Seminar and Promotion Ceremony
Andre Galvao travelled to south central Indiana to lead his second seminar at Small Axe Jiu Jitsu, but his first seminar at the school as its affiliate leader. Eager jiu jitsu practitioners of all levels gathered early to see what techniques would be taught.
Many in attendance were veterans of Professor Galvao seminars and so expectations were high. Professor Galvao began the seminar with a welcome to all who attended and explanation of his philosophy of always seeking the submission and working to advance to the most dominate position and not just ride an advantage to victory. After his brief intro, he led a thorough warm up focusing on loosening and stretching all the joints of the body. Then the seminar began.
The focus of the seminar was on attacking the back. I had asked Professor Galvao a question in the car shortly after picking him up from the airport and he told me the seminar would answer my question. IT DID. Look at what we did:
1. Attacking Turtle-ing Opponent (Proper position, arm placement, hip placement, elbow blocked)
2. Methods of impeding the "turn in" by a simple elbow push.
3. Drilled sensitivity and movement when and if bottom guy turns in.
4. We learned how to take the back when the opponent turns into us.
5. Rear Naked Choke details
6. Breaking a defensive Grip that is preventing RNC.
7. Sliding Collar Choke, Galvao Style! Critical details that make the choke faster, tighter and harder to defend.
8. Transitioning when guy escapes over your bottom hook.
9. "Digital Clock Choke"… analog is out of date!!!
10. Transitioning to Digital Clock Choke from the on-side back position (kicking leg away).
After the technique portion, Professor Galvao fielded questions from the students. Every question was answered to the student's satisfaction.
Throughout the seminar, I mingled around, trained, and talked to the participants. More than one came up to me and told me that one technique or another was worth the whole price of the seminar. I heard students say, "that is a game changer" and others praise little details by saying, "why didn't I learn this years ago?"
After all the rolling, teaching, and training was done, several of the Small Axe/Team Atos students were awarded stripes on their belts and several of the youth students moved up into new belts. A new tradition for the Small Axe students was implemented and each new belt came with a throw from Professor Galvao and Instructor Tim Sledd.
Small Axe Jiu Jitsu was happy to host grapplers from many different regional academies and is grateful to Professor Galvao for his open mindedness and leadership.
DETAILS: Multiple time World Champion, Andre Galvao will visit is First American Affiliate on February 26th, to lead a seminar and offer promotions to the Small Axe/Atos students present.
Questions? E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com for answers.
America's First Galvaobjj/Team Atos Affiliate!
2011 holds great things in store for Small Axe Jiu Jitsu! It is official! We are the first American Galvaobjj/Team Atos Affiliate!
It is my distinct honor to report that Andre Galvao and Tim Sledd agreed that Small Axe Jiu Jitsu would be a great affiliate for Professor Galvao! We look forward to more great instruction from Professor Galvao and will strive to help spread the Atos message!

If you walked into my school on October 30th, knowing a BJJ seminar was planned, but not knowing who was giving the seminar, quickly you would realize this was something special. First you would see several black belts on the mat stretching and getting ready to learn. Next you would see people from California, Kentucky, and Illinois spread around the mat ready to train. The baited breaths of black, brown, purple, blue, and white belts would tell you a legend was about to teach.
Hopefully you would look around the room. If so, seated quietly near the entrance watching some guys playfully sparring, you would see a highly decorated World Class competitor, smiling. If you haven't lived under a rock in the BJJ community for the last 8 years, then you would quickly recognize the guy as Andre Galvao, and something tells me you would quickly put your gi on and tie your belt.
The seminar began with a brief introduction, not only to Professor Galvao, but also to his philosophy and that of Atos Jiu Jitsu. What a way to set the mood for the day! This was not going to be a seminar of thuggish ruggish ego-centric testicular explosions; this was defined early as a seminar of sharing love of the art.
Following the introduction, we did a brief but comprehensive warm up and the first indication that Andre is a methodical instructor became evident. He started from the top of the body and warmed every joint imaginable down to the little toe.
Next, we jumped into some drills which led into techniques, which spawned counters and various submissions. Professor Galvao periodically tied the techniques together to remind us that we were on a path of progression and merely exploring a small set of options for each situation. The seminar included but was not limited to the following techniques:
- Open Guard Pass Drill (variations on blocking the hip)
- Andre's Method of holding a tight cross-side from said guard pass
- Using your hip to prevent an elbow escape, using your head to prevent a roll away (this section alone gave me significant material that I could add a whole new "Hip Control Video" tutorial)
- Ezekiel from opponent turning away
- Triangle from cross-side (new variation for Small Axe)
- Nifty triangle finish detail using a head turn!
- Guard Replacement drill (from open guard "thread the needle" pass) Roll under
- Guard Replacement to triangle
- Triangle defense to Omoplata
- Omoplata detail clean up! (leg squeeze, far lapel grips, ankle grip, hips away)
- Clock choke if guy is flexible (I obviously wasn't)
- Belly down armbar from omoplata –>rolling if necessary to variations of the traditional mounted armbar.
- Drilled Guard Retention –>triangle–>omoplata–>clock choke–>armbar
- Two variations of taking the back off a defended omoplata
- Armbar off of back take attempt! (very tight and fast armlock… I think I yelped once during the demonstration)
- Last was an armbar from omoplata control while parallel. Bringing the inside knee in to transition to the armbar.
Once the technique portion of the seminar was done, Professor Galvao began a meet and greet (another way of saying he picked people to spar with). He chose kids, women, black belts, purple belts to roll and he gave lots of different energies and utilized the techniques he had just shown many times. What a pleasure to watch.
Overall, I would describe this seminar as "concept driven", beginner to advanced, and tons of fun. Andre is very approachable, willing to answer questions, and constantly surveying the participants to correct details. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND an Andre Galvao seminar. There is an old saying, "Some people can teach, some people can do." Andre Galvao can do BOTH!
Valeu Andre!!!!!

Melba E. Ingram, age 105, of Terre Haute, passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012, at her Westminster Village home.
Melba was born in Creal Springs, Ill., on Sept. 3, 1907, the daughter of the late Eugene E. Leach and Bertha (Trousdale) Leach. She was united in marriage to her husband, N.B. Ingram, who was the retired marketing vice president of Sunoco Oil Company. Melba was very active with the Centenary United Methodist Church. She moved to Tulsa, Okla., in 1950, where she was a parishioner of Tulsa Boston Avenue United Methodist Church. She served in many capacities and especially enjoyed being involved with the United Methodist Women. As a very active woman, Melba was a proud member of the Mayflower Society, The Ancient & Honorable Artillery Company, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. As a gifted and wonderful photographer, Melba had belonged to The Photographic Society of America and The Tulsa Photographic Society. She was an avid golfer and enjoyed traveling extensively. Melba returned to Terre Haute in 1988 and was glad to be reunited with her family at the Centenary United Methodist Church and to make her home at Westminster Village. She was a devoted woman of faith with a kind and gentle soul. Her memory will live on for generations to come. Melba will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

In addition to her parents and her husband, Melba was welcomed home to heaven by her only son, Ray G. Ingram, who passed away in 1999. Ray was the retired senior vice president of Terre Haute First National Bank. Melba also was preceded in death by her sisters, Marjorie Leach Lashley, Bertha Leach Erickson; and her two brothers, Judge Duane Leach and E.E. "Gene" Leach.
Visitation will be today, Sept. 14, 2012, from 1:30 p.m. until Melba's Private Family Funeral Ceremony at 2 p.m. at Roselawn Memorial Park's Chapel of Memories.

Spectroscopy Modelled by Simulations
Dr. Yuki Nagata
Keywords: vibrational spectroscopy, sum-frequency generation spectroscopy, two-dimensional spectroscopy, water/lipid interface, molecular dynamics simulation
Spectroscopies are the powerful techniques to investigate the structures and dynamics of liquids, biological systems, and electric structure of materials.
The spectra are, however, sometimes complicated and simulation studies are very useful tools to understand them. By using molecular dynamics simulations (and ab initio calculations), we are simulating the spectra of glassy systems and water/lipid interfaces, giving atomistic descriptions of the dynamics and structures of a system. In addition, we are proposing a new experimental technique so-called multidimensional spectroscopies and stimulate the experimentalists by reporting what we can obtain from this new type of experiment.

Welcome to Almadina Language Charter Academy, a charter public school of parental choice since 1996.
Almadina Language Charter Academy operates as a charter school with a unique emphasis on English language acquisition. This charter was granted in 1996 by the Alberta Minister of Education and is mandated to deliver the Alberta Program of Studies (ECS - Grade 9) with English language acquisition as a major outcome.The uniqueness in this school comes through the programs we offer that focus on English language learning acquisition for students whose second or third language at home is English. Therefore, we serve not only newcomers to Canada, but also Canadian born individuals who have a need to increase their English language proficiency level. Research studies have shown that students who are learning a second language require a minimum of five to seven years of support before they can catch up to native speakers in cognitive academic language proficiency. All Almadina teachers hold Alberta teaching certificates, have EAL training, and are associated members of the Alberta Teachers' Association. Almadina is a member of the Association of Alberta Public Charter Schools (www.taapcs.ca). Each of these public schools has a unique charter mandate, a student enrollment ceiling and is governed by a volunteer school board. The Almadina School Board has seven parents elected by the members of the Almadina School Society.The Almadina Language Charter Academy (ALCA) emphasis is on English language acquisition. Other international languages, depending on interest, may be offered to help those students make a connection between their prior knowledge in another language to increase their conceptual understandings in the English language. Currently, our students are offered French, Urdu, English Language Learner Enhancement or Arabic Language and Culture as an International Language option.Character development is enhanced through a deliberate focus on values and virtues that encourage respect and shared values in safety, caring and acceptance of diversity.Almadina has two school campuses in East Calgary: Mountain View Elementary Campus with ECS to Grade 4, and Ogden Middle School Campus with Grades 5 - 9. Our student population is capped by the Minister of Education at 979 students (ECS - Grade 9). These two campus settings share one school standard while at the same time respecting unique approaches in individual school delivery of programs. Our students come from all parts of Calgary and most are transported through First Student Canada, operated by Cardinal Coach Lines Ltd. First Student Canada may be reached at (403) 531-3900. Our walk limits are from one to three blocks.For further information, please contact ALCA campuses.

Samson and Delilah is a 1949 film made by Paramount Pictures (and one of few pre-1950 films by the studio to remain under its ownership), produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr as the title characters. Angela Lansbury, George Sanders and Henry Wilcoxon are also featured.
The story of Samson and Delilah is adapted from the Biblical Book of Judges.
Wildly successful at the box-office, DeMille's Biblical epic is known for the beauty of its leading lady and the spectacular toppling of the temple of Dagon.
Contents |
Plot [edit]
Samson, a Hebrew placed under Nazirite vows from birth by his mother, is engaged to a Philistine woman named Semadar. At their engagement, Samson loses a bet with his wedding guests (owing by a large part to Semadar) and attacks thirty Philistines to strip them of their cloaks to pay his betting debt. When his deeds become known, Semadar is killed during their wedding feast; Samson becomes a hunted man and in his fury he begins fighting the Philistines. The Saran of Gaza (Sanders) imposes heavy taxes on the Dannites, with the purpose of having Samson betrayed by his own people. Saran's plan works, and frustrated Dannites hand over Samson to the Philistines, much to the joy of Delilah, Semadar's sister. Samson is taken by the high general Ahtur (Wilcoxon) and a regiment of Philistine troops. En route back to Gaza, Ahtur decides to taunt Samson. Samson rips apart his chains and ropes and begins to combat the Philistines, toppling Ahtur's war chariot and using the jawbone of an ass to club the Philistine soldiers to death.
News of the defeat of Ahtur at the hands of Samson reaches Saran. Saran ponders how to defeat Samson. Delilah comes up with the idea of seducing Samson, thus having him reveal the secret of his strength and then deliver him for punishment. Her plan works; she cuts his hair, which he feels gives him his strength. In order to fully neutralize him, Samson is blinded by his captors, put to slave work and is eventually brought to the temple of Dagon for the entertainment of the Philistines and of Saran.
However, in the meantime Delilah has unknowingly fallen in love with Samson, and his blinding and torture make her feel deep remorse over her betrayal. She attends the public torture wielding a whip, in order to help him flee, but Samson instead asks to be brought to the temple's main support pillars. Once he stands between them, he tells Delilah to run, but she remains, unseen by him, as he pushes the pillars apart. The pillars give way and the temple collapses, burying Samson, Delilah, and all the Philistines inside alive. In the end the temple lies in rubble, and Saul and Miriam, his two closest Hebrew friends, are left to mourn Samson's passing.

Production [edit]
Casting and production [edit]
Burt Lancaster was the original choice to play Samson, but he declined due to a bad back. Body builder Steve Reeves was also considered and DeMille lobbied long and hard to get the studio to pick up Reeves, but both DeMille and the studio wanted Reeves to tone down his physique, which Reeves, still young and new to the industry, ultimately refused to do.[3] Almost a decade later, Reeves found fame and cult status as another legendary strong man, Hercules, performing many of the same feats as Victor Mature in the Samson film. DeMille did not like Victor Mature and was outraged when Mature refused to wrestle the tame lion.
Director DeMille had a cameo in Billy Wilder's film Sunset Boulevard in a scene where the character of Norma Desmond meets with the director on a film set at Paramount studios. The film being shot is Samson and Delilah.
For the role of Delilah, actresses Märta Torén, Viveca Lindfors, Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, Jane Greer, Greer Garson, and Maureen O'Hara were considered but the part went to Hedy Lamarr after DeMille saw her during a screening of the film The Strange Woman.[4] DeMille would later describe Lamarr as "a gazelle–incapable of a clumsy or wrong move", and she would flirtatiously refer to herself as "Delilah" and DeMille as her "Samson".[4]
Nancy Olson, under contract to Paramount Pictures, later claimed she was considered for the role of Delilah. Instead, she accepted what would become her most memorable role, starring in Sunset Boulevard. Ironically, DeMille's cameo in Sunset Boulevard shows him filming a scene from Samson and Delilah. Olive Deering would reprise her role of Miriam in the form of an ancestor in DeMille's last film and subsequent biblical-epic, The Ten Commandments.
The film gave early Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky his sole Hollywood filmmaking credit (as the film was inspired by his book "Judge and Fool", aka "Samson the Nazarite, Samson & Prelude to Delilah").[5]
Box office performance [edit]
This film was enormously successful, taking in $11 million at the box office, making it the top moneymaker for 1950.[6] It was the second most popular film at the British box office that year.[7]
Restoration and home video release [edit]
In 2012 a costly, 4K-scanned, digital restoration of Samson and Delilah was completed. The restored version received its première at Bologna's Il Cinema Ritrovato 2012, ahead of the film's first official DVD and Blu-ray release. Its DVD release was by Paramount on March 12, 2013.
All previous DVDs are pirated copies from official VHS cassettes or TV broadcasts.

The auction is on -- but it's not on eBay. Not to be outdone by runners turning to the popular auction site to sell their torches, London's Olympic organizers are running an auction of their own. Bidding closes July 4.
Some 8,000 people are taking part in the 8,000-mile (12,875-kilometer) relay around Britain and Ireland. Each gets the option of keeping their torch -- provided they can ante up the 199 pound ($312) cost. Organizers say that is a discounted rate.
So far, 11 people have decided to hand their torch back. Proceeds will subsidize the cost of the torches and contribute to the staging of the London games, which take place from July 27 to Aug. 12.

Health Insurers Betting on Urgent Care Centers
Although BCBSNC declined to give specifics about its financial investment in FastMed, Darcie Dearth, a BCBSNC spokesperson, said the investment will allow FastMed to expand its network of physician-owned clinics across the state over the next two years.
Underserved areas will be a priority, Dearth explains. In some areas of North Carolina, a visit to the ED is the only option for immediate care. Expanding into those areas will enable the NC Blues plan to divert non-emergency care from expensive EDs.
Hickman says the investment in urgent care centers provides insurers with the opportunity to proactively influence cost and quality. "It's really a means to an end. It's a way to get the right treatment to the right people at the right time."
