Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell is two or maybe three dangerous kinds of movies all at the same time, and handled so brilliantly that the result is a transformative, unforgettable work of art.
Polley's fearless personal journey is a huge achievement, a genuine revelation — but the less detail you know beforehand, the better. Go in cold, come out warmed.
A powerful and thoughtful film, it is also not what it at first seems, which is part of the point Polley appears to be interested in making. Can the truth ever actually be known about anything?
What a great movie.
This is the kind of film that benefits from being experienced with as little prior knowledge as possible. As one watches it, certain questions may arise. But don't worry — the answers are fascinating.
Sarah Polley's memoir is a poignant, funny and engrossing film, challenging our notions of memory and family mythology.
With its ingenious structure, seamless visual conceits and mordant humor, Stories We Tell is a masterful film on technical and aesthetic values alone. But because of the wisdom and compassion of its maker, it rises to another level entirely.
An invigorating powerhouse of a personal documentary, adventurous and absolutely fascinating.
Seriously, one of the most jaw-dropping revelations occurs halfway through the final credits. All of which makes the stories Sarah Polley tells in Stories We Tell an enormously intriguing lot.
Stories We Tell has a number of transparent virtues, including its humor and formal design, although its most admirable quality is the deep sense of personal ethics that frames Ms. Polley's filmmaking choices.
This wondrous, absorbing little picture covers a great deal of winding meta-territory, reflecting on the ways in which a single family's story can be told—or maybe, more accurately, examining the idea that there's no such thing as a "single story."
Polley has gone further into the thorny subject of forgiveness than any of her peers. Her movies ache with ethical quandary; Stories We Tell aches the most.
Stories We Tell marks the finest of Polley's filmmaking skills by blending intimacy and intrigue to remarkable effect.
Polley tackles painful issues with candour and tact. She has a gripping tale to tell. It's a film that raises questions about the ownership of memory and ownership of narrative.
Plenty of secrets are uncovered before the fadeout, plus another nugget dropped midway through the end credits that may render nearly everything beforehand to be false. That's the nature of intimacies submerged so long then revealed.
When a film like Stories We Tell comes along, you're reminded how powerful and universal even the most intimate and individual lives can be when captured with intelligence and perspective.
Polley's fledgling foray into documentary filmmaking is also an investigative mystery, a real-life soap opera, and — most compellingly, perhaps — a searching "interrogation" (the director's word) of the hows and whys of storytelling itself.
By the end, the rug gets pulled out from under us, showing that even the reality we think we see may be an illusion.
Fans of Polley's work to date will be delighted by a documentary that serves simultaneously as a gripping mystery, a moving record of a family and a fascinating investigation into the nature of truth, memory, and the documentary form itself.
Seldom has our modern taste for the confessional mode been so smartly explored. [20 May 2013, p. 123]
So Polley has gone meta — exuberantly, entertainingly, with all her heart.
Stories We Tell is one of those movies you watch on a screen and replay in your head for days, moving between its many levels of inquiry and touched, always, by Polley's compassion toward her relatives in particular and people in general.
The various witnesses tell contradictory tales that turn this into a real-life "Rashomon." The fact that two of the principals — Sarah and Michael, who delivers touching and eloquent on-camera narration that he wrote himself — are accomplished actors adds another level of confusion and interest that help make this compelling storytelling.
The result, with its flashing perspectives and stealthy wit, is unique and unforgettable.
Mar 18, 2013Sarah Polley is much more interested in the malleability of memory and the consequential refractions felt throughout her kin rather than telling a linear narrative.
The Canadian actress and director Sarah Polley set out to make a straightforward documentary about her mother, Diane, who died when she was 11, but by the time Stories We Tell was finished five years later, it had become unclassifiable.

Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights
The Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (before 1999, known as the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities)[1] was a think tank of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. It was wound up in late August, 2006.[2]
With the dissolution of the Commission on Human Rights and its replacement by the Human Rights Council in 2006, responsibility for the Sub-Commission passed from the former to the latter.[3] On 30 June 2006 the Council resolved to extend the Sub-Commission's mandate on an exceptional one-year basis and subject to the Council's subsequent review. The Sub-Commission met for the final time in August 2006;[4] among the recommendations it adopted at that session was one for the creation of a human rights consultative committee as a standing body to assist the Human Rights Council.[5]
The Sub-Commission was first formed in 1947, under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
Its primary mandate is described as:
- "To undertake studies, particularly in the light of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to make recommendations to the Commission concerning the prevention of discrimination of any kind relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms and the protection of racial, national, religious and linguistic minorities".
Other functions and tasks could also be assigned to it by ECOSOC or the Commission on Human Rights.
It was composed of 26 human rights experts, each with an alternate and each elected for a term of four years, with half of the posts up for election every two years. Membership was selected from amongst the eligible candidates from United Nations member states in such a way as to result in roughly equal and proportional representation from each of the continents.
As of 2004, the breakdown of membership was:
- 7 from African States,
- 5 from Asian States,
- 5 from Latin American States,
- 3 from Eastern European States,
- 6 from Western European and other States.
The Sub-Commission had eight working groups, which conduct studies on discriminatory practices and make recommendations to ensure that racial, national, religious and linguistic minorities are protected by law.
- Working Group on Administration of Justice
- Working Group on Communication
- Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery
- Working Group on Indigenous Populations
- Working Group on Minorities
- Working Group on Social Forum
- Working Group on Transnational Corporations
- Working Group on Terrorism
By the middle of the 1970s the Genocide Convention had not been ratified by all of the members of the security council and appeared to be moribund after 20 years of inaction. Members of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities decided to investigate the subject and over the next decade launched a number of initiatives.[6] which included publication of the Ruhashyankiko report in 1978 and the Whitaker report in 1985.
Ruhashyankiko Report[edit]
Nicodène Ruhashyankiko was appointed as a special Rapporteur in 1973 and produced a report The Study on the Question of the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, that was approved by the Sub-Commission at its thirty first session (E/CN.4/Sub.2/416, 4 July 1979.[7] The report was forwarded to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) with a recommendation that it be given the wides possible distribution, and the UNCHR made a decision to do so.[8]
Much of Ruhashyankiko's report was not found by the sub-committee to be controversial, for example he suggested that the crime of genocide (as is piracy) should become an issue covered by universal jurisdiction,[9] and that an international criminal court be set up to try those accused of genocide.[10]
However, as his review of historical genocide ignited a political debate, Ruhashyankiko took a conservative line arguing that it was impossible to draw up an exhaustive list, and to attempt to do so could reignite old quarrels and would not be acceptable to all of the member states of the United Nations. This drew the criticism of one member of the Sub-Commission who complained that "genocide of the Palestinians" had been omitted. But most of the criticism was for a change that Ruhashyankiko made between the draft of the report and the final draft. In his initial draft Ruhashyankiko included a mention of the Armenian genocide which occurred during World War I. But he deleted it from the final version of the report due to pressure from Turkey.[11] An omission that was supported by only two members. Ruhashyankiko justified his omission of the Armenian genocide and the inclusion of the Jewish genocide by explaining that the Holocaust was universally recognised while the Armenian genocide was not.[10] In the end the Sub-Commission sent the report with some amendments resulting from the debate within the Sub-Commission to the (UNCHR) with a recommendation that it should be widely distributed. The UNCHR accepted the recommendation and passed the resolution to enable its distribution.[8][12]
Mitsue Inazumi draws the conclusion from the political debate that the Ruhashyankiko report started, that it was evocative of how divisive the dispute over historical genocides and alleged historical genocides are, while William Schabas draws the conclusion that Ruhashyankiko backed down in naming the Armenian massacres as a genocide under the pressure from the Turkish state, and that "Ruhashyankiko's unpardonable wavering on the Armenian genocide cast a shadow over what was otherwise an extremely helpful and well-researched report".[10]
Whitaker Report[edit]
Benjamin Whitaker was appointed as a special Rapporteur in 1983 and produced a Revised and Updated Report on the Question of the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.[11] It was noted by the Sub-Commission in a resolution at its thirty-eighth session in 1985, (E/CN.4/Sub.2/1985/6, 2 July 1985).[13][14]
In 1983 due to the disagreements over the Ruhashyankiko Report the Sub-Commission asked the UNCHR to request the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to request that the report be revised and updated. In the same year to facilitate this request the ECOSOC appointed Whitaker as a new Special Rapporteur, to produce a revised and updated study.[15]
The report was delivered in 1985. It consisted of a Forward, an Introduction, an Appendix, and four parts: Part I: Historical, Part II, Part III Future progress: Possible ways forward, and Part IV: List of conclusions. It made a number of controversial proposals including recommendations that the Genocide Convention should be altered to include protection of group based on politics and sexual orientation. Also "advertent omission" should become a crime and the defence of obeying superior orders should be removed. The report also suggested that consideration should be given to ecocide, ethnocide and cultural genocide.[16]
The report created further controversy,[17] because in paragraph 24 it stated that
The Nazi aberration has unfortunately not been the only case of genocide in the twentieth century. Among other examples which can be cited as qualifying are the German massacre of Hereros in 1904, the Ottoman massacre of Armenians in 1915–1916, the Ukrainian pogrom of Jews in 1919, the Tutsi massacre of Hutu in Burundi in 1965 and 1972, the Paraguayan massacre of Ache Indians prior to 1974, the Khmer Rouge massacre in Kampuchea between 1975 and 1978, and the contemporary [1985] Iranian killings of Baha'is.
—Whitaker Report, (paragraph 24).[18]
In the debates over whether to accept the report the Sub-Commission's final report stated:
According to various speakers, the Special Rapporteur had correctly interpreted his mandate in referring, for instance in paragraph 24 of his report, to specific cases of allegations of genocide in past. The lessons of history were indispensable to keep the conscience of the world alive, and prevent the recurrence of that odious crime. Other participants felt that the Special Rapporteur should have dealt exclusively with the problem of preventing future genocides, without referring to past events which were difficult or impossible to investigate.[19]
Turning specifically to the question of the massacre of the Armenians, the view was expressed by various speakers that such massacres indeed constituted genocide, as was well documented by the Ottoman military trials of 1919, eyewitness reports and official archives. Objecting to such a view, various participants argued that the Armenian massacre was not adequately documented and that certain evidence had been forged.
—Sub-Commissions final report, paragraphs 41,42.[20]
That opinions of the Sub-Commission were split came to the fore over the wording of the resolution to accept the report. In the end the second and weaker of two proposed resolutions was adopted, one that took note of the study and thanked Whitaker for his efforts,[a] and also noted "that divergent opinions have been expressed about the content and proposals of the report".[21] Schabas states that "An attempt to strengthen the resolution by expressing the Sub-Commissions's thanks and congratulations for 'some' of the proposals in the report was resoundingly defeated".[22][b]
The Sub-Commission revisited genocide in 1993 and in 1994 recommended that an international court statute be prepared to facilitate the prosecution of genocide. It also recommended that an international committee be created to examine reports by States into their undertakings under Article 5 of the Genocide Convention. The committee also followed up on one of the Ruhashyankiko Reports ideas and suggested that the convention be improved by including a clause enabling the crime of genocide to be tried under universal jurisdiction.[23]
In a resolution dated 3 August 1995 the Sub-Commission concluded "that a veritable genocide is being committed massively and in a systematic manner against the civilian population in Bosnia and Herzegovina, often in the presence of United Nations forces".[23][24]
Later the same month on 18 August, the Sub-Commission passed another resolution explicitly mentioning Radio Démocratie-La Voix du Peuple, which had been stirring up genocidal hatred in Burundi.[23][25]
Human rights and weapons of mass destruction[edit]
The Sub-Commission,[26] passed two motions[27] — the first in 1996[28] and the second in 1997.[29] They listed weapons of mass destruction, or weapons with indiscriminate effect, or of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering and urged all states to curb the production and the spread of such weapons. The committee authorized a working paper, in the context of human rights and humanitarian norms, of the weapons. The requested UN working paper was delivered in 2002[30] by Y.K.J. Yeung Sik Yuen in accordance with Sub-Commission's resolution 2001/36.
- ^ Unlike the earlier Ruhashyankiko Report the Sub-Commission did not "approve" the Whitaker Report
- ^ The sources are somewhat split on this interpretation of the Sub-Commission's response to the Whitaker Report with some stating that the report was endorsed:
The report was adopted by a 15–4 majority of the panel of experts in the Sub-Commission, thereby recognizing the massacres of Armenians in 1915–16 as genocide. [38 U.N. ESCOR Commission On Human Rights, Sub-Commission. on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, (Agenda Item 4), 8–9, U.N. Doc. E/CN.4/Sub.2/1985/6 (1985)].
—(Genocide Education Project p. 1 footnote 1)and others stating it was not:
The Turkish government intervened to advocate deletion of the mention of genocide. These debates resulted in a resolution that simply took note of Whitaker's report, but stopped short of endorsing it.

The IEEE North Jersey Section (R1) is very active in the area of student activities. The Section engaged a former Student Branch Chair to join the Executive Committee (ExCom) as the Student Activities Coordinator. Having a recently graduated member at ExCom meetings provides a good interface between students and higher grade members.
The Section works closely with the three universities in its geographic area, and the Student Branches work together, to organize many events at these institutions. Working together also promotes networking beyond the boundaries of the individual universities. IEEE Student Branches help in recruiting students, mostly by organizing interesting activities, such as educational and social events, tours to industrial research centers, and the North Jersey and Region 1 student paper contest.
The North Jersey student paper contest in February serves as practice for the regional student conference in March. This competition practices the students' communication skills while discussing complex topics. It is a good exercise for students in dealing with pressure and expectations, and the setting encourages informal feedback. This event helps students to present and pitch ideas and research results.
The Student Activities Coordinator and Student Branch members meet to share ideas and directives, and the Student Activities Coordinator also works closely with the Section's GOLD and WIE officers to organize events.
The IEEE Green Mountain Section (R1) provides volunteers to help local programs such as Vermont Engineers Week, University of Vermont Engineers Day, and the Technology Knowledge Fair for Boy and Girl Scouts.
The Green Mountain STEM Competition asks middle and high school students to invent a toy that will not only entertain, but ultimately empower kids to design and share their own inventions. The invented toy can use materials including up to two sensors or be totally digital (e.g., computer game). It must include a prototype, evidence of using the design cycle, and communication that markets playful invention to a potential toy manufacturer.
The Section holds various unique events, such as Engineering Design Night 2012, which celebrated the engineering profession and over 35 Capstone designs developed by teams of civil, electrical, environmental and mechanical engineering university seniors in collaboration with higher grade IEEE members.
The Section also conducts Technical Vitality Seminars on specific topics, and Technology Workshops and Conferences, which include various topics of interest.
The IEEE Denver Section (R5) appoints a GOLD Liaison and a Student Chapter Liaison to increase communication and encourage participation at the university level since 2010. The Section holds social meetings to bring GOLD members together to discuss common issues, including a barbecue meet and greet for students before the August Executive Committee meeting. This annual event includes a presentation by a guest speaker on a topic that is appealing to an audience of all ages. Student branch members and GOLD members are invited to come and network with the executive committee and learn more about being involved with IEEE after graduation.
The Section begins each calendar year with an officer training event, which all members are encouraged to attend. Attendees are taught about various IEEE leadership functions, such as job descriptions, communication tools, financial reports, and website capabilities. The Section also uses this training to promote a general understanding of IEEE as a business unit and how to run meetings. This keystone event also coincides with National Engineer Week activities.
The Section uses a LinkedIn group and a Twitter site to communicate to members, and are planning a Facebook site. The increase in the quantity and quality of electronic communications has been a key factor in retaining Section members.
The IEEE Panama Section (R9) has developed programs to involve more students and branches, such as scholarships and technical visits to local industries and factories related to electrical, electronics, computer science, and telecommunications. Panama Section and Chapter officers are also in contact with local university authorities to expand relationships and student participation in IEEE activities. The Section has also developed three scholarships to develop technical projects.
The Section is also partnering with another organization to promote the development of information technology in the country, to establish a framework for relations, and strengthen the productive sector and services. The partnership promotes the development of its members and human development, develops projects that support education and competitiveness of the sector, and strengthens networking and mutual synergies.

Price is a little much but the gloves are well crafted. Gloves were heavier than I anticipated which is good because I use them for riding. The wait was the bad part. Ordered in April and arrived in September due to back order. In the end so far they are worth the wait. 2 skeleton thumbs way up!

Name: Miri Diamone
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bi
Appearance: Miri has pale skin and red hair that falls to her shoulders. She loves wearing accessories that will help her look pretty and make her yellow eyes stand out. She also enjoys wearing semi-formal clothing with blouses, skirts, and vests with low heel shoes. She is slender and fit, though on the outside she looks pretty weak. Manicures on her fingernails change their color everyday. Another noticable trait is that she always carries a guitar (I don't know what time of age this story takes place, so if it can't be electric, it can be acoustic)
Personality: Miri is an angel at first sight with her large, soft eyes and kind expression. She loves to make herself look pretty and will sometimes spend hours applying makeup or choosing clothes. She smiles a lot, so on first sight people think she's a sweet girl. However, she is selfish and snobby and likes to boss around. She isn't stupid, and doesn't nose into other people's business for no reason, but she likes listening to gossip and private conversations. Her excuse is that she's got just too good of a hearing that she can hear everything that's within her hearing range. She values money as the number one important thing in this world, but not so much that she'd abandon people for money. She cares about everyone who's interacted with her, and will carefully choose her friend or foe depending on the situation. She doesn't give up easily and sticks to whatever she thinks is the right thing.
History: Miri had been the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and was raised like a princess. Lilycove City has museums and Contest halls, so she had studied art for a long time. She learned about pokemon coordinating ever since she was six, and enjoyed dressing-up pokemon and brushing them. At age 10, she entered a pokemon contest. She was disappointed when she didn't get a ribbon, but she didn't give up on coordinating. However, she felt like she was suffocating with all the 'graceful, elegant, gorgeous' lifestyle her parents had been teaching her. She rarely had any chance to go out of her hometown. At the age of 14, she escaped home with her favorite guitar and a few clothing. She's been a street musician travelling here and there ever since then. Although she doesn't enter official contests anymore, she is willing to battle anyone in contest ways.
During one of her travels, she found about the Factions. Wanting to try out a new life, she decided to join them. After gathering enough money, she went to Aerial Island.
Hometown: Lilycove City, Hoenn
Name: Notte
Species: ralts
Gender: male

Wii Classic Controller: adds a new dimension to playing Wii games!
Nintendo Wii Classic Controller
Member Name: tenkilos
Nintendo Wii Classic Controller
Date: 09/08/10
Advantages: flexibility, number of buttons & controls
Disadvantages: loses some of the fun, has to be plugged into the wiimote
The Ninteno Wii classic controller adds a new dimension to playing the Wii. It is true that the concept of this console is to be novel and to differentiate itself from the Playstations and the Xboxes. It is not true, however, to say that releasing the classic controller is a step backwards.
Many people playing earlier Nintendo consoles will welcome this controller as it allows them to play games they are familiar with with the kit that they are also familiar with. It is not compulsory to play Mario Kart with the classic controller as opposed to a wheel, but for those who would appreciate the opportunity to do so, the controller is there.
The other very useful reason why this controller is useful is because it is also aimed at the gamer enthusiast market. In many games, a lot more fun could be had when playing with the wiimote & nunchuk as the controls are novel and playing games is more fun when you swing your arms around on the sofa. The controller allows the enthusiast to attempt to be more precise in playing games and allows for easier accessibility to buttons. This means that in the more technical games, it can often be easier to set personal best results or compete online when playing with the controller instead of the original controls.
Summary: The Wii Classic controller is a great bit of kit, offering an extra way to enjoy all your Wii games!

WakeMed admits to false Medicare billing in $8M settlement
The Charlotte Observer, December 20, 2012
RALEIGH WakeMed has agreed to pay $8 million to settle an investigation into its practice of billing Medicare for expensive overnight care when the patients had been treated and discharged the same day. The settlement came after a lengthy criminal investigation into Medicare billing procedures used by nurses at the private, not-for-profit hospital's Heart Center Observation Area. Nurses there, according to federal court documents, routinely ignored physicians' orders for how a patient should be classified. Their actions resulted in the hospital receiving millions of unwarranted Medicare dollars for outpatients who were classified wrongly as inpatients.

There is no good reason for this investagation to have taken this long. The officer was justified in his actions, he was well within the force continuem.
You gotta be kidding. 5 month paid administrative leave for an incident with such minimal use of force? Remind me never to work for Utah Highway Patrol, I'd be going insane not working for almost half of a year! This should have been cleared up within a month, I'm sure he's a target, just because of who his cousin is.
He did right in my book. *GOOD JOB TROOPER*

Before & After: Coxford Condo Living Room
By Eric • Jan 11, 2011
Spotted on Danielle Oakey Interiors, here is an example of how to redesign an uninspired living room on a very tiny budget.
The owner has already bought the sofa, the chairs, the end tables, the TV, the lamps and a few throw pillow.
But no matter what, the living room looks unfinished with its depressing empty boring walls.
For a mere $500, thanks to Craigslist and local classifieds, Danielle revamped the living room which is now so much more elegant!
She reminds us that money is not the key to create a warm atmosphere and beautify a house!

How well do you know the director and his quirky catalog?
Anderson on overdrive.
You'll be murdered with quirkiness and Kinks songs.
Christmas came late this year. Or whatever gift-oriented holiday is applicable to you.
This film has the most Wes Anderson-y title of any Wes Anderson film.
In a movie about a thing that happens.
With apologies to Jeff Goldblum.
We learn so much.
Are there any movies I'm missing? Yeah. Probably tons.
I've run out of fingers.
We're not going to yell at you. We just want you to know that we're very, very disappointed.
"The most disturbing Oscars ever" is still better than a boring Oscar ceremony, right?
Movies about death are never a fun experience, but the 5 best terminal illness movies that won't make you want to die provide a relatively easy viewing. While you know…
After 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox', Wes Anderson is back to doing what he does best: making Wes Anderson movies.
'Moonlight Kingdom' stars Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand and Anderson's super turbo BFF Bill Murray.
Wes Anderson movies are always recognizable. Whether it be the slightly quirky characters or the nostalgic offbeat music, Anderson has a unique style. Here is a look at his films, so…
The new movie, with the totally not hipster-y title 'Moonrise Kingdom', stars Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand and of course, Schwartzman.
A whole slew of actors want to play in Wes Anderson's quirky sand box. Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton are all in talks to star in Moon Rise Kingdom, Anderson's next directorial project that he wrote with Roman Coppola.
Bask in all the irony.
Hipsters everywhere will soon have a reason to not be indignant with the movies. Wes Anderson, their poster boy director, is in the midst of making a new film. There aren't many details yet, but The Playlist discovered that Anderson is looking for a 12-year-old boy and girl to fill the lead roles. I'm sure he's camera testing them in wide-angled, meticulously art-directed shots.
I'm a much bigger fan of Anderson's animated directing effort Fantastic Mr. Fox than I am of his live action films. Perhaps him shooting his next film with young leads means he's staying in touch with his inner child. Of course he'll have to cram Jason Schwartzman in there somehow, but he's compact and doesn't take up too much of the frame.
Director: Wes AndersonCast: George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, Bill MurraySynopsis: Angry farmers, tired of sharing their chickens with a sly fox, look to get rid of their opponent and his family.
In Fantastic Mr. Fox, cinema auteur Wes Anderson has decided to take his uniquely composed wide shots and apply them to the world of stop motion animal puppets. He still couldn't part with at least one brother Wilson and Jason Schwartzman, but this time they merely provide the voices for their underground dwelling characters. It's sure to be one heck of a good twitchy, off-putting, imaginative caper with enough George Clooney charm to spare.

On the second day of Supreme Court hearings on the health care reform law, which is now apparently officially known as Obamacare, things are not looking good for people who believe everyone deserves health care. Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said, "This was a train wreck for the Obama administration. This law looks like it's going to be struck down." So now might be a good time to offer a reminder of some of the pretty nice things the law does. Via Mother Jones here's one:

Debate begins in Missouri Legislature
MO Senate issues subpoena for license documents
The order was signed Monday by Republican Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey. It requires the department to produce documents to help determine whether the state is sharing people's personal information with the federal government or a private company.
Lawmakers began investigating after a southeast Missouri man filed a lawsuit. The lawsuit challenges the new requirement that documents such as birth certificates and concealed weapons endorsements be scanned into a state database when a person applies for a driver's license.
Revenue Department officials have denied during legislative hearings that personal information is being shared.

Beyond the bluster: the effectiveness of wind power technology
IPPR is working with a leading renewable energy consultancy, GL Garrad Hassan, to evaluate claims that have often been made, including in a letter to David Cameron by a group of more than 100 MPs, criticising the effectiveness of wind power technology.
We believe it is important to get 'beyond the bluster' on wind power and look at the facts.
We will publish a report that answers two questions:
- Is wind power an effective technology for reducing carbon emissions?
- Is wind power a reliable and secure energy source?
The report is being carried out on a pro bono basis with no sponsorship

Settle into Vegetal, a plastic chair whose seat is modeled after trees in 19th-century gardens that were pruned into functional furniture. It works both indoors and out, providing the ideal repose to sit and watch the clouds roll by.
Being at one with nature doesn't necessarily mean having to leave the comfort of your living room. French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec give shape to new terrestrial and airborne elements to transform your living room into the great beyond.
The individual textile components in Clouds combine to form a conceptual cumulus

Delany: 4 team playoff should be for conference champs
Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany has been at the forefront of talks to bring a playoff of some sort to college football for quite some time now, but he doesn't believe that teams that don't win their division should be included in a four team playoff.
''I don't have a lot of regard for that team. I certainly wouldn't have as much regard for that team as I would for someone who played nine conference games in a tough conference and played a couple out-of-conference games on the road against really good opponents. If a poll doesn't honor those teams and they're conference champions, I do.'' Delany told the Associated Press.
While in Chicago last week, Delany bounced an idea off reporters that would put four conference champs that rank among the top six teams in the nation into the four team playoff format that is already being discussed. That way an at-large team could logistically still make the four team playoff.
''The polls don't always measure strength of schedule. Some conferences are playing nine games, some are playing eight. The Pac-12 is playing nine and then to go out and play a round-robin game against us, that's 10 and some of them are going to play Notre Dame. That's 11 difficult games. If they're ranked fifth in the country and they won a conference championship, I think that's quite an accomplishment. Some teams don't even win their own division. They started off highly in the rankings, lose early, don't play a championship game and they might end up at four.''
Delany and 11 other conference commisioners will meet with BCS Exectutive Director Bill Hancock to listen to arguments on anywhere between two and seven different playoff configurations in June and (hopefully) draft a proposal for University Presidents to approve by July 4th.

CHAPTER I.Of Matter and Motion.Matter is an extended solid substance; which being comprehended under distinct surfaces, makes so many particular distinct bodies. Motion is so well known by the sight and touch, that to use words to give a clear idea of it, would be in vain. Matter, or body, is indifferent to motion, or rest. There is as much force required to put a body, which is in motion, at rest; as there is to set a body, which is at rest, into motion. No parcel of matter can give itself either motion or rest, and therefore a body at rest will remain so eternally, except some external cause puts it in motion; and a body in motion will move eternally, unless some external cause stops it. A body in motion will always move on in a straight line, unless it be turned out of it by some external cause; because a body can no more alter the determination of its motion, than it can begin it, alter or stop its motion itself. The swiftness of motion is measured by distance of place and length of time wherein it is performed. For instance, if A and B, bodies of equal or different bigness, move each of them an inch in the same time; their motions are equally swift; but if A moves two inches, in the time whilst B is moving one inch; the motion of A is twice as swift as that of B. The quantity of motion is measured by the swiftness of the motion, and the quantity of the matter moved, taken together. For instance, if A, a body equal to B, moves as swift as B; then it hath an equal quantity of motion. If A hath twice as much matter as B, and moves equally as swift, it hath double the quantity of motion; and so in proportion. It appears, as far as human observation reaches, to be a settled law of nature, that all bodies have a tendency, attraction, or gravitation towards one another. The same force, applied to two different bodies, produces always the same quantity of motion in each of them. For instance, let a boat which with its lading is one ton, be tied at a distance to another vessel, which with its lading is twenty-six tons; if the rope that ties them together be pulled, either in the less or bigger of these vessels, the less of the two, in their approach one to another, will move twenty-six feet, while the other moves but one foot. Wherefore the quantity of matter in the earth being twenty-six times more than in the moon; the motion in the moon towards the earth, by the common force of attraction, by which they are impelled towards one another, will be twenty-six times as fast as in the earth; that is, the moon will move twenty-six miles towards the earth, for every mile the earth moves towards the moon. Hence it is, that, in this natural tendency of bodies towards one another, that in the lesser is considered as gravitation; and that in the bigger as attraction; because the motion of the lesser body (by reason of its much greater swiftness) is alone taken notice of. This attraction is the strongest, the nearer the attracting bodies are to each other; and, in different distances of the same bodies, is reciprocally in the duplicate proportion of those distances. For instance, if two bodies at a given distance attract each other with a certain force, at half the distance, they will attract each other with four times that force; at one third of the distance, with nine times that force; and so on. Two bodies at a distance will put one another into motion by the force of attraction; which is inexplicable by us, though made evident to us by experience, and so to be taken as a principle in natural philosophy. Supposing then the earth the sole body in the universe, and at rest; if God should create the moon, at the same distance that it is now from the earth; the earth and the moon would presently begin to move one towards another in a straight line by this motion of attraction or gravitation. If a body, that by the attraction of another would move in a straight line towards it, receives a new motion any ways oblique to the first; it will no longer move in a straight line, according to either of those directions; but in a curve that will partake of both. And this curve will differ, according to the nature and quantity of the forces that concurred to produce it; as, for instance, in many cases it will be such a curve as ends where it began, or recurs into itself; that is, makes up a circle, or an ellipsis or oval very little differing from a circle. |

- ClicktoTweet: IDC Retail Insights Releases Top 10 Predictions for 2014
The IDC Retail Insights Top 10 Predictions for 2014 are:
- Prediction 1 - In 2014, fast-followers will chase the 50 global retailers already transforming store, mobile, and ecommerce channels, supply chains, merchandising, and marketing for the omni-channel customer experience.
- Prediction 2 - Business transformation will drive ERP, core merchandising, FAR, and planning investment to a 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2015.
- Prediction 3 - By 2016, leading retailers will improve same-shopper sales with immersive commerce driving additional revenue growth of 1.5% and margin growth of an additional 3%.
- Prediction 4 - By 2017, marketing and advertising technology investment will increase by 50%.
- Prediction 5 - Retailers will narrow and enable big data and analytics (BDA) projects in 2014 as 20%-30% of projects fell short in 2013.
- Prediction 6 - Emerging consumer privacy concerns will force 50% of early adopters to revisit hyper-personalized promotions by 2015.
- Prediction 7 - E-commerce and store platform replacements that enable mobile, integrated, and interactive experiences will support a 10% CAGR in commerce investment through 2017.
- Prediction 8 - As product assortment refresh cycles quicken, 25% of mid-sized retailers will initiate new product lifecycle management (PLM) or sourcing projects in 2014.
- Prediction 9 - Retailers will double the rate of industry supply chain investments in 2014, as compared to 2013.
- Prediction 10 - By 2016, 50% of national retailers, will invest in distributed order management, enterprise inventory visibility, and workforce management to enable same day fulfillment.
"In the next three years, retail will reinvent itself as omni-channel leaders reach for customer relationship, relevancy, and reciprocity. A new replacement cycle of enterprise, planning, and commerce systems will anchor complex company-wide business transformation for immersive experience and commerce. Quick-to-market leaders will improve same-shopper sales--fast becoming the most significant leading indicator of future performance," said Robert Parker, IDC Retail, Energy and Manufacturing Group Vice President and General Manager. "We expect renewed investment in the narrower but transformative capabilities of PLM and sourcing, marketing and advertising, and big data and analytics."

Engage! Theme: Signs and Symbols
"Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country's flag," she said.—John Greenleaf Whittier
Let's look for a moment at one symbol: the American flag. Three colors, thirteen horizontal stripes, a small blue rectangle containing fifty five-pointed stars. Also a symbol that by law cannot be desecrated. Also, an image that represents a country of approximately 300 million people. The flag and the other images presented here—Uncle Sam, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a classic representation of George Washington, and a revision of that representation—have come to mean a wide range of things to a wide range of people. They are intended to mean some of these things, and they have of course come to mean a number of other things. How is it that some images are designed to represent and to mean? How do some images instruct us in what to feel and think? When are we able to confer different meanings on these images? How do we design symbolic images of our own?
Sample Icebreakers and Opening Exercises
Think of an instance when you looked at or saw an image—a symbol, picture, advertisement, poster, whatever—that moved you in some way—moved you to do something or caused you to feel something strongly. What was the image, and what did it move you to do or cause you to feel? How did it do this, how did it work on you?
Take a few minutes and sketch out a picture that symbolizes something that matters to you. Don't worry about the quality of the picture—consider it a rough sketch, like an outline, but pay attention to what you want it to say and how you think the picture will explain it. Once you're set, pair up with the person next to you, share, and explain.
Images and Discussion Tools
The following links contain the selected image (or image details, if the image is unavailable for web delivery), background information, "Looking Questions," further discussion questions, activity ideas, and resources. Consult the Engage! pilot site pages to see how the pilot libraries put Engage! into action.
