Born on July 16, 1911, in Independence, Missouri, Ginger Rogers got her start on the vaudeville circuit before working on Broadway. She soon hit the big screen and would go on to make more than 70 movies. She was beloved for her dancing routines with fellow screen legend Fred Astaire in films like Top Hat, Swing Time and The Gay Divorcee, and she won an Oscar for the drama Kitty Foyle.
"I'd do three or four pictures between those I made with Fred. We weren't Siamese twins. I always wanted to stretch out and do some things as me, alone, by myself. I did, and among the things was 'Kitty Foyle.' "
Early Life
Actress, singer and dancer Ginger Rogers was born Virginia Katherine McMath on July 16, 1911, in Independence, Missouri, to Lela Owens and William McMath. The couple divorced soon after their daughter's birth. Virginia eventually received her nickname, "Ginger," from a cousin who was unable to pronounce her full name; the surname "Rogers" came from her stepfather, John Rogers.
Ginger Rogers performed stage work as a child in Fort Worth, Texas, where her family had relocated, and won a major Charleston contest in which she was awarded her own vaudeville tour. Lela became her manager, and Rogers would later largely credit her mother for her showbiz success. After a short-lived marriage to dancer Jack Culpepper, Rogers eventually made her way to New York City as a solo performer. There she was hired for the Broadway production Top Speed.
Stage and Film Career
Rogers' initial stage work led to a role in the Paramount film Young Man of Manhattan (1930), and she acted and sang the same year on Broadway in Girl Crazy, co-starring Ethel Merman. Rogers began to do both stage and film work simultaneously, working on Paramount's movie stages in Queens during the day and performing live at night. She then moved back to Hollywood and starred in several films before landing the memorable part of Anytime Annie in classic movie-musical 42nd Street (1933) and a prominent role in Gold Diggers of 1933 with the tune "We're in the Money."
At 22, she was cast in the hit 1933 film Flying Down to Rio with Fred Astaire. Though the two were supporting characters, their dancing chemistry was magnificent and showcased intricate footwork with expert craft. They co-starred over the next few years in eight more films, dancing in notable numbers to songs like "Night and Day" from The Gay Divorcee (1934), "Cheek to Cheek" from Top Hat (1935) and "Let's Face the Music and Dance" from Follow the Fleet (1936). Though Rogers and Astaire were a winning film combo, with Rogers often embodying the shimmering glamour of the age, the two weren't close off-screen.
Rogers took on many additional film roles outside of her dancing partnership, including a turn in Stage Door (1937) opposite Katharine Hepburn. Rogers was determined to tackle serious fare, and in 1941 won a lead actress Academy Award for her dramatic title role in the film Kitty Foyle. Afterwards she starred in several films—also becoming the highest-paid woman in America—before reuniting with Astaire for the 1949 hit The Barkleys of Broadway. After a variety of film work in the '50s, including Monkey Business (1952) with Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe, Rogers' last film was the 1965 biopic Harlow, in which she played the mother of 1930s actress Jean Harlow.

Born in 1957 in Athens, Georgia, Cindy Wilson is a vocalist and founding member of the new wave rock group the B-52s, known for their beehive hairdos and dance sound. The B-52s scored hits like "Loveshack" throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and continues to perform today. Wilson's brother Ricky, a fellow founding B-52, died of AIDS in 1985.
Making Music in Athens
Cindy Wilson was born on February 28, 1957, in Athens, Georgia. Wilson and her brother Ricky, four years her elder, were raised by their father, a fireman, and their stepmother, a factory worker. As a child, Wilson was obsessed with music. She especially enjoyed the work of Petula Clark, Nancy Sinatra, and Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Later, when she reached her teenage years, her tastes turned to Alice Cooper and the Beatles. "I had eclectic tastes," Wilson later recalled. "I still do. I embrace it all." During her high school years, Wilson began singing and displayed incredible natural talent as a vocalist. Her brother Ricky was a virtuoso guitarist, and the two played together frequently during their high school years, often including Ricky's friend Keith Strickland, a drummer, in their jam sessions.
After graduating from high school in 1975, Wilson moved in with her brother, and the two continued to play music with Strickland and two other young aspiring musicians who had recently arrived (separately) in Athens from New Jersey—Kate Pierson, a singer, and Fred Schneider, a keyboardist. In order to help fund their sessions, Cindy Wilson took a job as a lunch waitress at a local restaurant called Kress. "I had to get a job because it was my job to buy a microphone," she recalled. Still, all the fledgling band's members remained incredibly poor. "We couldn't afford to drink except on quarter nights," Wilson remembered. "I was a waitress, and you had to pay the rent."
Birth of B-52's
Despite the presence of the University of Georgia, at this time of the mid-1970s Athens bore little resemblance to the cultural hub it has since become. "Athens was so boring," Schneider lamented. "At the time, it wasn't the music Mecca it is today… Back then, it was one band on the weekend, and it was usually a fraternity band." To fill this musical and cultural void, the five young musicians (Cindy and Ricky Wilson, Strickland, Schneider, and Pierson) decided to form a real band. According to their website, the B-52's officially became a band "on an October night in 1976, following drinks at an Athens Chinese restaurant." As Strickland recalled, "We all pitched in for this giant rum drink at a Chinese restaurant. It had a Sterno can burning under it." Wilson added: "I think of it as the Night of the Flaming Volcano. It was all very ceremonial. Then we went and played."
Naming themselves the B-52's after a Southern slang term for the wild bouffant hairdos sported by Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, the band gave their debut performance at a Valentine's Day party in 1977. "There were only 17 people," Schneider remembered.

In the culture of my country sometimes the word "bird" is used as a metaphor for a beloved person. For example, we say that:
In the sky of my love, there is no bird other than you.
As I said "bird" refers back to a beloved person and "sky" refers back to the greatness of someone's love. I think in English we can use "sky" for greatness but what word is used for "bird" as symbol of beloved person?
Please note that the connotation of the word bird is highly positive in this context. Did I myself clear?
So how can I translate this sentence? What should I say? Can I say the following?
In the ocean of my love, there is no fish other than you.
Is "fish" a metaphor for a beloved person in English? What is the metaphor of a beloved person in English? Do we have such metaphor at all?
I do not recommend that you call your love a fish.
The reason that you are not receiving many responses here is that speakers of English, unless they are poets or writers of romantic fiction, tend not to address their loved ones in flowery language.
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
Of course there are metaphors for a beloved person: honey, sweetheart, etc. I can't think of one for "In the X of my love".
But you're asking for translation of your sentence, or words to fit your sentence structure, like "In the beehive of my love, there is no honey like you". You're not looking for one metaphor; you need two which are both correct, and which make sense together. We are saying that nothing in English fits the structure you've given. Do you see that?
You might get away with "You're the moon in my sky", but you can't say, "In the sky of my love, there is no moon like you."

By Silvia Ognibene
SIENA, Italy (Reuters) - Lawyers for Deutsche Bank
A financial derivatives deal known as "Santorini" in 2008 between Deutsche Bank and Monte dei Paschi di Siena is one of three trades at the heart of a probe into alleged fraud at Italy's third biggest lender.
The trades exacerbated a capital shortfall that last year forced Monte dei Paschi to request 4 billion euros ($5.2 billion) of state aid and brought it close to collapse.
Prosecutors in Siena last week ordered the seizure of up to 1.95 billion euros from Japanese bank Nomura <8604.T>, which carried out another derivatives deal, known as "Alexandria, with the Tuscan bank.
In the seizure warrant against Nomura, the Siena prosecutors describe the Alexandria and Santorini trades as "twin" operations.
"They (Deutsche Bank) are seeking a dialogue with the prosecutors given the similarities between Alexandria and Santorini," one of the sources said.
"They want to avoid becoming the target of a seizure measure like the one for Nomura," the source said.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment. The German bank has rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing, saying that the Santorini deal was subject to rigorous internal approval processes.
Like the Alexandria trade, the Santorini deal involved the purchase of around 2 billion euros of Italian government bonds by Monte dei Paschi financed through a long-term repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank.
Both deals were done under Monte dei Paschi's previous management to conceal losses, prosecutors say.
But as the value of the bonds guaranteeing the loans fell because of the euro zone crisis, the bets backfired and Monte dei Paschi was forced to put up more collateral with both banks.
In the case of the trade with Nomura, Monte dei Paschi had deposited 1.87 billion euros by way of collateral as of April 5, the prosecutors said in their seizure order, explaining their move with the need to stem losses at the Siena-based bank.
Asked whether the prosecutors could move against Deutsche Bank as they have done with Nomura, the source said this possibility "exists".
The seizure order against Nomura, which must be ratified by a judge in the next few days, faces a series of legal hurdles. The Siena prosecutors first tried to freeze funds held by Nomura in Germany through Europe's Target 2 interbank payment system, asking the Bundesbank to intervene.
But the German central bank declined to do anything and a source close to the ematter said it could not enforce any such seizure request without a ruling by a German court.

I am back in CT where I have to share the world's slowest Internet connection with five other adults. It works out to me getting about fifteen minutes a day to barely catch up with only the most desperation-tinged sounding email messages.
And then, I'm sick again with one of those colds that all the hardy New Englanders don't seem to get anymore because they have all built up all this immunity living in this germ-ridden cold place.
So, I won't be blogging much till I get back to Los Angeles January 4th. And it hurts because I have the greatest series of photos from my adventure in Gettysburg with friend Katie. Just have to wait on those.
God bless all -
I can't believe how humane the movies are lately. Completely rejecting the selfishness and narcissism of the last forty years, several of this year's best films call for quiet, heroic virtue, that is all about doing your duty and putting other people first. And cynicism seems to have become an anti-trend, in stories in which simple faith and the unconditional love of friends and family are all indisputable goods. Considering Waitress, Juno, August Rush, Dan in Real Life and Lars and the Real Girl there are a whole slew of movies out there right now that are much more throwbacks to Marty than Pulp Fiction. (And granted, there is still lots of bloody cynicism to be had at the cineplex, but there is definitely a contrary trend showing up that would point our society in a whole other direction.)
Lars and the Real Girl was written by Nancy Oliver whose writing credits include Six Feet Under. That should tell you a lot about the well-drawn flesh and blood characters that drive the story here. In addition, there are several super performances here. Most notably Lars, played by the uber-talented Ryan Gosling (who just picked up a Golden Globe for his work in this movie), Patricia Clarkson, as the therapist everybody needs, and Emily Mortimer, who has, in spades, those damn amazing Brit acting instincts, as Lars' compassionate, pregnant sister-in-law.
Lars is a gentle, quirky little movie. You have be patient with it, as the story, like the tiny mid-Western town in which it unfolds, definitely takes its time. But it takes its time in that good, gradual, cumulative way in which life lessons are learned. Notwithstanding its measured pace, Lars is still a smart film, without being the least bit arch. You walk away thinking,, among other things, don't let the accents fool you, those small town folks have wisdom, which is a better thing than hip wit.
For reasons that are revealed throughout the course of the film, a young man, Lars, has been slowly withdrawing emotionally from his friends and family. One day, he surprises his brother, Gus and his sister-in-law, by introducing his new girlfriend, Bianca, whom he has met on the Internet. Bianca, from Brazil, speaks little English, and is wheelchair bound. She has long brunette hair, favors red lipstick and lots of blue eye-shadow, and has the sexiest figure of any woman in the town.
And, oh, Bianca, is a life-sized plastic doll.
After getting over the shock of realizing that Lars is suffering from a mental illness, Lars' circle brood over the best way to respond to Bianca. In a loving tribute to the best thing that small towns can be, the whole community of neighbors and friends around Lars, decides to patiently support him in his delusion, "as long as he needs it," as expressed by Clarkson's wise doctor.
As humble people, the folks in the town are willing to humbly look like fools by welcoming Bianca into their homes, church and even the school board, out of love for one of their own sons.
Larsis a satisfying, charming and compassionate movie that handles its central improbable plot-point with the patient sigh in which so much of the freakishness of modern life has been met in the unweird, measured life of a small town. These people have given up trying to understand the mystery of the human person, especially in the modern age. They have elected to accept people in a kind of "he's not heavy, he's my brother" kind of way. Beautiful script, beautiful story, beautiful direction, performances and complementary production design and cinematography.
I recommend Lars and the Real Girl very highly. Rated PG-13 for a few references to sex toys and Internet creepiness, there really isn't anything else problematic in the film. Sadly, it will probably only make it to major cities, so do watch for it on DVD next year.
I have some very important news to share with you about Dappled Things, and I hope that you will be able to share them with your readers.
Since its inception, Dappled Things (www.dappledthings.org) has sought to provide a venue for emerging writers and artists to engage the culture from a Catholic perspective. In order to safeguard this mission, we have followed the policy of only receiving submissions from contributors between the ages of 18 and 35. However, throughout the past two years we have received comments from many readers and potential contributors who wish Dappled Things would accept work from persons of any age. This desire is understandable, as there are almost no other venues that specialize in creative work inspired by the Catholic tradition. Still, we have hesitated to remove our age limits because we do not want a situation in which more experienced writers and artists crowd out those who are still at the start of their careers.
After much deliberation, we have concluded that opening up the magazine to creative Catholics of all ages need not undermine our mission. We will remain committed to seeking out and publishing the work of emerging writers and artists, but we will now welcome submissions without regard to a person's age. By doing this, we hope Dappled Things will become a locus of the best creative talent available within the English-speaking Church. We want Dappled Things to be a magazine of which the Church can be proud (in a completely non-sinful way, that is) and through which Catholics can offer an alternative to the often confused culture that surrounds them.
If "The Golden Compass" and "The DaVinci Code" are works that characterize the "wisdom" of our age, we hope that Dappled Things will become a venue where those with a more profound vision -- the Tolkiens, Lewises, Waughs, and O'Connors of the future -- will be able to become known and share their work with the world. So whether you are a reader seeking material that will enrich your mind, soul, and imagination, or a writer who hopes to share some truth and beauty with the world, we hope you will join the Dappled Things community. To submit your work, please visit our website for instructions.
Sincerely in Christ,
Bernardo Aparicio
President, Dappled Things
What's It All About?
The Act One Writing Program trains talented Christians for careers in mainstream film and television. The program takes place in Hollywood with intensive classroom instruction from a world-class faculty that includes over 50 top-notch TV and movie writers, agents and producers, Hollywood pros like Dean Batali (That 70s Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), Monica Macer (Lost, Prison Break), Bill Marsilii (Déjà Vu) and David McFadzean (Home Improvement, What Women Want).
"Act One helps the Christian writer overcome the temptation to ignore or oversimplify the arduous task of integrating faith and creativity. It provides not only a serious investigation into the art and craft of screenwriting, but also a challenge to think deeply about content." - Scott Derrickson, writer/director, The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Program Dates and Applications
The Saturday Writing Program will take place in Hollywood from February 29 through November 1, 2008. Applications must be received by January 10, 2008.
For more information or to apply, visit us online at www.actoneprogram.com.
What Our Alumni Are Saying About Us
"It's a fantastic program and an unbelievable deal for the money. I went through both UCLA's professional screenwriting program and Writers Bootcamp. They do not compare in terms of content and the comprehensiveness of Act One, not to mention the spiritual formation. It really is a must for any Christian writer in Hollywood." (2007 Alumnus)
"Act One was one of the most fulfilling months of my life...both spiritually and artistically… It doesn't make writing easier. It makes it harder...and better...and thank God for that." - Kevin Chesley, Summer Writing Program Alumnus
"For one intensive month I was thrust into a world of focused learning and creativity, with teachers at the top of their game who, in their generosity, shared their expertise. I can't recommend it highly enough! I cried the day after the program ended."- Staci Armao, Summer Writing Program Alumna
"I wrote and directed my first feature film earlier this year, and Act One's fingerprints were all over the project -- two of the producers are Act One alumni, our executive producer is an Act One faculty member, and several Act One alumni helped on the set. Act One not only offers the tools necessary for good storytelling, but has also created a vibrant spiritual community of artists committed to helping each other." - Nathan Scoggins, Summer Writing Program Alumnus
What Act One Teaches
Act One's rigorous screenwriting curriculum includes:
* 160 hours of classroom instruction, writing exercises, screenings and discussions, covering everything from script format, story selection, structure, genre, character and dialogue to understanding the business of Hollywood, pitching and working with an agent, plus:
* optional TV-writing track, which recreates the atmosphere of a network television writing room
* ethics and spirituality for Christians in the industry
* challenging pre-program homework
* the opportunity to complete a screenplay with weekly, small group instructor feedback
"The amount of scholarship, the degree of professionalism and the wisdom of the Act One program is an unparalleled gift to script writers. I can hardly believe it exists." - David Hansen, Summer Writing Program Alumnus
Alumni Successes
Here's a sampling of recent alumni successes:
* Stephen Chang (winner, ABC/Disney Writing Fellowship, hired as staff-writer for the ABC primetime comedy Miss/Guided)
* Clare Sera (writer, Curious George (Universal), Blended (Warner Bros.), Captain Abdul's Pirate School (Nickelodeon Films))
* Amy Snow (winner, ABC/Disney Writing Fellowship, writer, Kept Men (Paramount))
* Nathan Scoggins (writer-director, The Least of These, starring Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy))
* Cheryl McKay (writer, The Ultimate Gift)
* Zoila Galeano (selected, 2007/2008 Latino Media Coalition Writing Program)
* Kimberly Wilson-Lauziere (winner, Cosby Writing Fellowship, ABC/Disney Talent Development Program)
* Elizabeth Beachy (winner, Nashville Screenplay Showdown)
"Every great production starts with the writer. Writers who are interested in the craft of writing should start with Act One!" - Ralph Winter, producer, X-Men, X2, Fantastic Four

1. I wrote my first play in the fourth grade. It was a ten minute monologue of Napoleon Bonaparte that I recited with the fully nuanced accent that I appropriated from Maurice Chevalier in Gigi.
2. I am pathologically incapable of being late. Even when I try to be fashionably late, I end up getting there five minutes ahead. I once got to an airport so early that they wouldn't check me in because, you know, I was there too early.
3. I have the corresponding twisted masochistic pathology that draws me to make friends of people who are pathologically incapable of being on time. I will surely spend all the minutes in purgatury that I have already lost in seething indignation while I waited in restaurants and on street corners thinking to myself, "I could have been here at 9:18am. And that would have been fine. But we said 9am! Didn't we?!!?"
4. I have been obsessed with the Battle of Gettysburg for about a decade now. I watch the movie several times a year, befriended the movie's director, have read about fifteen Gettysburg books, have spent hours pouring over every inch of every photo in my favorite book "The Gettysburg Battlefield", have been planning a visit to the battlefield for years, and intend to name my next cat "Buford" for the guy who saved the high ground and, indisputably, the Union. My father says my grandfather Nicolosi has the same obsession. I think that is comforting in a weird way.
5. It isn't home for me until there is an aquarium. Even when I was a nun and couldn't dispose of any material goods, I found ways - without any mental reservations or remorse of conscience - to finagle donors or superiors into financing ten gallon tanks. Something about the process of slowly killing little exotic fish just lets me settle interiorly.
6. Probably the writer who most influenced me growing up was Taylor Caldwell. I've read her life of Cicero A Pillar of Iron probably ten times.
7. I don't like the different foods on my plate to touch each other, and then, I only eat one at a time. I got corrected for this many times when I was in the convent, until finally my superiors gave up, deciding I was either mortificationally intransigent or nutritionally demented.
8. When I was ten years old, I said these prayers every day for a year. When my older sister told me that I hadn't actually completed a year because I had stopped on the last day of the 365 day year, I was so perplexed I said the prayers for another year, and added on an extra week at the end just in case. I still can't believe I had the self-mastery and faith to do this as a child. I feel sure the merits of those prayers account for all the blessings that I have received in my schleppy adulthood.
Okay, Karen. I hope that was worth it to you. I hereby meme anyone reading this blog who wants to do this exercise.
I'm going to recommend Atonement because it is visually stunning and also very respectful of the audience's intelligence. And the story which is the fragile skeleton of all the stunning images is fundamentally true and moral. But I am going to say Atonement is one of those movies in which the real star is the production design, and the story beats, cinematography and performances all serving the visual arena of the piece.
Based on the book by the same name (which I haven't read, but which people are saying makes you care much more about the lovers here than the main character Briney), Atonement the movie is much more about a crime and its consequences in the lives of three little people, than it is about atonement. The "atonement" in the movie is strictly literary, which is desperately unsatisfying to everyone in the movie and in the theater, but it is plausible, so we all suffered the disappointment. In relating the tragic details of an immoral act and a repentance that is just a bit too late, Atonement is fundamentally moral because it makes you regret these things. Nobody gets away with anything in this movie and it is all played as tragedy. Catholic brain had me thinking that even the two lovers who are wronged, set up their own tragedy by committing a series of mortal sins.
I appreciated very much how the storytelling unfolds non-traditionally, in flashbacks, through differing points of view and in the character's own retrospect. The movie dares to not lay all the back story and motivations up front, but to reveal them throughout -- including the main characters principal motivation which comes in a flashback to a moment by a lake that happened years before. It is a relief to see a film that allows me to do my job as someone inspecting and searching into a work of art.
And while appreciating the subtle storytelling, I am sure that for a lot of viewers it will be too subtle and they'll be wanting some more of the dots connected. To those I would say, the motivations you want are mostly all there, or else are in reach of your imagination. But the look of the story, and the recreation of the historical moments - an ideallic British manor in the mid 1930's, and the war-ravaged French countryside and beachhead at Dunkirk - kept my attention through all the moments of ambiguity.
I had some quibbles... Keira Knightly, the most lovely we have seen her rather flat face, is still way, way too thin here. In a bathing suit scene, she reveals all the curves of a twelve year old boy, and in other moments her shape seemed quite concave. Give that girl some bread.... The Dunkirk sequence went on too long and started to annoy me. Narratively, there wasn't much that needed to happen there, so I felt like they had ordered all this production design stuff and costumed throngs of extras, and so were trying to get the most use of them.... We needed way more of Briney in the last half of the film. The sources of her repentance are never explored except to say "I grew up." Yeah, not enough in a movie with the title Atonement.
There is some sexuality in Atonement but the R rating comes more for the startling images of the violence of war. I think those images were all to show effects of violence that are all interior in the life of the main characters so they are not gratuitous. I recommend this film for grown-ups who really like movies as art. (Which is to say that if "Bella" is your idea of fabulous, this one will be over your head. Go buy a Thomas Kinkaid calendar.)
The retreat location is Immaculate Heart Retreat House, 3431 Waverly Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027.
The theme of this retreat is "Mary: The Eternal 'Yes' of Prayer." It focuses on the person and activities of the Blessed Virgin as the quintessential expressions of the prayerful life. Far from robbing her of her human dignity, her constant acquiescence to the will of God elevated her above all other humans, making her not only a powerful intercessor with her Son but also the great model of all that is best in womanhood. This activity is a combination of seminar (e.g., some Bible study), retreat (prayer and meditation, with Mass at the conclusion), and dialoguing (general discussions).
Here is the final schedule for Saturday's retreat:
830-900 Gathering/Coffee
910-920 Opening Prayer and Lighting of Advent Wreath
920-945 The Catechism on Prayer (Barbara)
945-1000 Discussion and Questions on Prayer
1000-1015 Break
1015-1045 Reflections on Motherhood and Mary as Mother (Bernadette Neal)
1045-1115 Silent Meditation
1115-1200 Mary in the Bible (Dr. Eric Hansen)
1200-1245 Lunch
1245-115 Silent Meditation
115-145 Mary in the Church (Dr. Hansen)
145-215 Mary in Our Lives (Todd Inman)
215-245 Discussion and Questions on Mary
245-330 Break/Time for Sacrament of Reconciliation (continues all afternoon)

• VIDEO: Click here to see the new body-worn cameras that the Bellevue Police Department is using.

When Bellevue Police Lt. Robert Wood is called to a disturbance, one piece of his equipment tends to get the most attention: a small camera mounted on his uniform to silently record everything that happens.
"A lot of times, if someone is worked up and aggressive, I watch their eyes kind of flick down and look at that camera," Wood said. "Sometimes that calms the situation down, because people don't want to look bad on film."
Small video cameras that attach to an officer's eyewear or clothing are emerging as a cutting-edge method to further monitor law enforcement's interactions with the public. The cameras can give officers — and citizens — an exact record and a new perspective when an incident unfolds away from a police cruiser.
Most area law enforcement agencies, including the Omaha Police Department, are up-to-date with the country's cruiser video movement. But few apart from Bellevue have tried body-worn cameras.
In Omaha, a citizen video from a controversial north Omaha arrest has heightened scrutiny on Omaha police and led to calls for broader police oversight.
For some agencies around the country, the body-worn cameras have shown potential to bolster the amount of evidence available for criminal and internal investigations.
The technology is in its infancy. The recording systems, which have yet to be broadly adopted across the country, can be costly. Plus the thought of potentially having an officer's every move recorded can be met with skepticism and resistance from the rank and file and their union representatives.
Now that digital video recorders have spread widely to people's cellphones, several departments are beginning to experiment with the new method of oversight.
A few Bellevue officers have experimented with body-worn cameras for about a year, using their own money to buy different models. Wood said he's even used the resulting footage as evidence in a few cases, and the cameras can be handy for interviewing suspects and victims.
Other agencies see the benefits, too.
"You're going to see a growth in body-worn cameras, much like you've seen with in-car video," said Maj. Christopher Wiles of the Danville, Va., Police Department, which has deployed a growing number of officer-worn cameras in the past 18 months.
"That started small. And as time goes on, of course, the technology becomes more affordable and compact. It becomes easier to deploy, and as other agencies use it, you start to see it adopted across the nation."
The recorders' size is important, especially on an officer's crowded utility belt. Bellevue's cameras are about as large as a pager and clip onto an officer's pocket. Another sleek model — produced by the Taser brand best known for its stun guns — clips easily to sunglasses, baseball caps or uniforms.
"This is very much in the infant stages, but I personally think this is going to be the future," Bellevue Police Chief Mark Elbert said.
Before the cameras are widely used, however, the department will need to develop policies to ensure that the video is admissible as evidence. For example, the cameras are tripped manually, which means the officer can decide when to start and stop the recording. Some cameras come bundled with software that allows only evidence managers to handle the data.
"We need to make sure we're not editing in the field, so the integrity of the document is held in check," Elbert said.
Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov is onboard.
"Bellevue's ahead of the curve," he said, noting that the Omaha incident would have been viewed differently had the officers been wearing cameras.
"The officers who went into the house would have protection against false claims, and the public would have confidence that they had the whole story," he said.
Part of law enforcement's attraction to video technology hinges on that idea: Recorded footage can provide an indisputable view of an incident.
New Omaha police cameras are now rolling in the city's front-line cruisers. Cameras in Sarpy County cruisers are activated when the deputy hits the lights, or they can be turned on manually, Lt. Dan Shukis said.
One Sarpy deputy experimented with a small body-camera mounted on his dispatch radio, but found it too bulky, Shukis said.
"I think we're pretty up to speed," he said of the department's technology.
The Nebraska State Patrol doesn't use body cameras, but it updated cruiser-based systems from VHS to digital a few years ago at a cost of $1.7 million, spokeswoman Deb Collins said.
Douglas County sheriff's cruisers also have digital cameras activated by the light racks. When an officer comes off duty, the cruiser's video is downloaded to a server, Chief Deputy Marty Bilek said. The agency replaced the cruisers' VHS-based systems about five years ago.
Wiles of Virginia said that while in-car camera systems are widely used, they capture few officer activities that happen away from a cruiser. If properly used, he said, body-worn cameras can vastly augment evidence-gathering or training procedures by showing exactly what a police officer sees.
"Think about how much more interaction a police officer has away from that vehicle," Wiles said. "Just think how much more interaction that body-worn camera can capture in terms of officer safety, public safety and professionalism. To me, it's just a very positive step toward protecting officers, protecting citizens and helping to ensure professional conduct."
Wiles said the body-worn cameras were met with some initial resistance by officers, but attitudes have changed.
"Those guys, you couldn't take it away from them now," he said.
The new technology has the support of Jason Cvitanov, an 18-year police veteran and president of the Bellevue Police Officer's Association. Cvitanov said he hasn't heard any complaints from patrol officers.
"I remember when car cameras came out — there were some nerves about it," he said. "But it's been a positive. ... We're held to a standard, and this just reinforces that."
Bilek, from Douglas County, acknowledged that the evidence could "cut both ways" but that Douglas County officials realize the technology's use is growing.
"I suppose, given the fact that the technology is so cheap and the cams so small — and computer storage is so cheap — it's just a matter of time before video's everywhere," he said.
Deputy Omaha Police Chief Elizabeth Davis said the emerging technology needs to be looked at, but with a degree of caution.
"I do know that you just want to be very careful buying any technology straight off the shelf, the first iteration of it," she said. "Sometimes when you get out there too soon, you're investing money that just goes down the drain."
Funding such technology isn't just limited to buying cameras, which can cost around $1,000 apiece. The more substantial cost can come when departments buy software and equipment to store and upload video data.
But Davis said grants and federal dollars might someday help fund cameras.
"Once the grants become available, that's when vendors come out of the woodwork as well. That's when you have to be careful about the products and support you buy."

How We Should Program GPGPUs
Listing 3. Fortran Matrix Multiplication Loop, Tagged to Be Compiled for the Accelerator
!$acc begin do i = 1,n1 do k = 1,n3 c(i,k) = 0.0 do j = 1,n2 c(i,k) = c(i,k) + a(i,j) + b(j,k) enddo enddo enddo !$acc end
Although a compiler may be able to determine or estimate compute intensity, there are enough issues with GPU computing that it's better to leave this step to the programmer. Let's suppose a programmer can add a pragma or directive to the program, telling the compiler that a particular routine or loop or region of code should be compiled for the GPU.
The second step is data analysis on the region: what data needs to be allocated on the device memory and what needs to be copied from the host and back to the host afterward? This is within the scope of current compiler technology, though peculiar coding styles can defeat the analysis. In such cases, the compiler reports usage patterns with strange boundary conditions; usually, it's easy to determine where this comes from and adjust the program to avoid it. In many cases, it arises from a potential bug lurking in the code, such as a hard-coded constant in one place instead of the symbolic value used everywhere else. Nonetheless, the compiler must have a mechanism to report the data analysis results, and the user must be able to override those results, in cases where the compiler is being too conservative (and moving too much data, for example).
The third step is parallelism analysis on the loops in the region. The GPU's speed comes from structured parallelism, so parallelism must be rampant for the translation to succeed, whether translated automatically or manually. Traditional vectorizing and parallelizing compiler techniques are mature enough to apply here. Although vectorizing compilers were quite successful, both practically and commercially, automatic parallelization for multiprocessors has been less so. Much of that failure has been due to over-aggressive expectations. Compilers aren't magic; they can't find parallelism that isn't there and may not find parallelism that's been cleverly hidden or disguised by such tricks as pointer arithmetic.
Yet, parallelism analysis for GPUs has three advantages. First, the application domain is likely to be self-selected to include those with lots of rampant, structured parallelism. Second, structured parallelism is exactly the domain where the classical compiler techniques apply. And finally, the payoff for success is high enough that even when automatic parallelization fails, if the compiler reports that failure specifically enough, the programmer can rewrite that part of the code to enable the compiler to proceed.
The fourth step is to map the program parallelism onto the machine. Today's GPUs have two or three levels of parallelism. For instance, the NVIDIA G80 architecture has multiprocessor (MIMD) parallelism across the 16 processors. It also has SIMD parallelism within each processor, and it uses another level of parallelism to enable multithreading within a processor to tolerate the long global memory latencies. The loop-level program parallelism must map onto the machine in such a way as to optimize, as much as possible, the performance features of the machine. On the NVIDIA, this means mapping a loop with stride-1 memory accesses to the SIMD-level parallelism and mapping a loop that requires synchronization to the multithread-level parallelism. This step is likely very specific to each GPU or accelerator.
The fifth step is to generate the GPU code. This is more difficult than code generation for a CPU only because the GPU is less general. Otherwise, this uses standard code-generation technology. A single GPU region may generate several GPU kernels to be invoked in order from the host. Some of the code-generation goals can be different from that of a CPU. For instance, a CPU has a fixed number of registers; compilers often will use an extra register if it allows them to schedule instructions more advantageously. A GPU has a large number of registers, but it has to share them among the simultaneously active threads. We want a lot of active threads, so when one thread is busy with a global memory access, the GPU has other work to keep it busy. Using extra registers may give a better schedule for each thread, but if it reduces the number of active threads, the total performance may suffer.
The final step is to replace the kernel region on the host with device and kernel management code. Most of this will turn into library calls, allocating memory, moving data and invoking kernels.
These five steps are the same that a programmer has to perform when moving a program from a host to CUDA or Brook or other GPU-specific language. At least four of them can be mostly or fully automated, which would simplify programming greatly. Perhaps OpenCL, recently submitted by Apple to the Khronos Group for standardization, will address some of these issues.
There are some other issues that still have to be addressed. One is a policy issue. Can a user grab the GPU and hold onto it as a dedicated device? In many cases, there is only one user, so sharing the device is unimportant, but in a computing center, this issue will arise. Another issue has to do with the fixed size, nonvirtual GPU device memory. Whose job is it to split up the computation so it fits onto the GPU? A compiler can apply strip-mining to the loops in the GPU region, processing chunks of data at a time. The compiler also can use this strategy to overlap communication with computation by sending data for the next chunk while the GPU is processing the current chunk.
There are other issues that aren't addressed in this article, such as allocating data on the GPU and leaving it there for the life of a program, or managing multiple GPUs from a single host. These can all be solved in the same framework, all without requiring language extensions or wholesale program rewrites.

Chad Johnson released by Dolphins after arrest, according to report
The Miami Dolphins have released wide receiver Chad Johnson a day after the wide receiver was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor domestic battery, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported on Twitter.
The Miami Dolphins have just released Chad Johnson, scouts cleaned out his locker
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) August 13, 2012
Johnson posted $2,500 bond Sunday and was released from jail after his wife, reality TV star Evelyn Lozada, accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. The dispute simmered after Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms, The Associated Press reported.
Earlier Sunday, Philbin said he hadn't yet spoken or met with Johnson.
"We're going to deal with this at the appropriate time," Philbin said. "We're not going to waste time. … We're all in this thing together. Everybody that sets foot in this building, we're all held to a high standard."
Philbin had warned Johnson a couple of days earlier about his behavior after Johnson liberally used profanity during an interview opportunity with reporters.
The Dolphins signed Johnson in June. He was trying to make the team after a highly disappointing season with the New England Patriots last year.

Do Cambridge students really believe that religion has a place in the 21st century? Or they liked what Rowan Williams said because he said nicely and softly? Cambridge students voted 324 versus 138 against the idea of having no place for religion in the 21st Century. Richard Dawkins may have been defeated in the debate, but it's true what he said that 'as the century goes by, religion has less and less place to exist. It's high time to send it packing."
Your victory has no value if you win a debate by denying the truth.

'Religion has no place in the 21st Century'
9 comments

I am afraid that it will take more than the few small voices in the 21st century to eliminate religion, and if it ever does happen, it will sadly be in a century far, far ahead of this one.
Josh Orshansky
Like with so many debates of this kind, it has a very broad and far reaching motion that is almost set up so as to convince anyone to vote against it. Possibly a little like reasonable doubt in convicting a criminal, whilst many don't believe he is innocent, they also cannot be absolutely sure that he is guilty. This debate was much the same and I for one can empathise with the student comment, liking religion to football, 'you may not agree with it but it is something people enjoy and need on so many levels' . It is difficult to argue that definition of religion has no place in the 21st century!
Milon Ahmed.
I support 100% about Taslima's view on religion. I think religion is a great obstacle to humanism.
It shows the effect of choosing the question: obviously, religion does have a place in the 21st century. Whether it should have a place is another question and might well have received a very different answer if it had been asked.
Taslima Nasreen
Religion should not have a place. I meant that. I think Dawkins believes that religion will not disappear in this century. Why did he debate for it? Did he also think that it was about religion should have no place instead of religion does have a place?
Josh Orshansky
Yes, it is frustrating when you tune in to watch a potentially decent debate but the motion is either unreasonable or/and the defendants do not argue for the motion, only on the topic in general. Oh well it makes little difference in reality but would be more pleasing if reason would prevail!
Very interesting debate (thank you for posting it Taslima).
With the exception of the seeming rambling, nebulous and mildly angry sounding talk given by the Islamic professor, and perhaps a few students, the presentations and student questions were engaging and articulate (although I am tending to find Richard Dawkins talks and debates sounding very much repetitious.)
Although Andrew Murray's presentation defending of the necessity of religion was stilled flawed at certain points ( they can never seem to eliminate even the most repetitious argumentative speedbumps in their support of even the most insignificant role religion may play), he certainly makes no bones about his atheism (as did a number of students who spoke in tepid defense of religion.)
But his presentation at the end does at least give one pause to….if nothing else…reflect on a deep critical echo in atheism: that being the seeming cool detachment of connection and community almost inherent in it. As much as it pains me to admit it, until atheism as a larger human realization can be promulgated throughout at least a substantial portion of modern, first-world societies, those deeper needs of social connectedness, belonging and support will be filled, some how, in some way, by religion. Atheism proper, has a long way to go in evolving structures, practices and understandings that can supplant many of those nebulous and deeply emotional/psychological qualities that many of us humans find necessary for a balanced, emotionally secure mental state–things that religion has, to various degrees, historically provided and still does for so many.
As Murray mentioned,.. both sides are missing things, albeit religion much more so; to be very sure, religion and its history owes much more of an open ear and closed mouth to the methodologies and declarations of science and reason. But, unfortunately, the lack of civil debate via the language and modes of expression from certain high profile atheists certainly does little harm to religion's cause. Without a doubt, there are many that disagree with this atheist, and that position–certainly a point of contention among atheists.

Our first Saturday was our first full day off. Brittany and I traveled to Arsenal where we bought merchandise of the football (soccer) team, Arsenal Gunners, who Brittany, Sean, and myself will be seeing play LIVE on Wednesday the 6th.
Later that day, we visited the Tate Museum of Modern Art, but the highlight of our day happened at night as we spent our evening at "Ain't Nothin But..."
What is "Ain't Nothin But..." you ask? It is arguably the best blues bar in town, raved many of the locals. We waited in a queue for nearly and hour, but it was well worth the wait. Moving around in the small, packed venue was difficult, but we soon were able to gain access to the front of the floor near the tables and eventually to a booth.
It was not long before we were standing in the booth dancing-the music was too good not too. The band consisted of a drummer, a slap-bassist, an electric guitarist, and a vocalist/harmonica player. Each of the band members is very talented and put on an amazing show. Brittany and I plan on going back before our trip is over
A cool side note-the walls were completely covered with actual sheet music and enameled over. One sheet was dated from the 1950s.

The Operations section of Environmental Care maintains most of the green spaces in the borough including sport pitches, open spaces, play areas, road side verges and the Worting Road Cemetery. In addition to this the team also plant and maintain floral displays, shrubs and hedges.
In 2010 Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council were High Silver Gilt winners for 'South and South East in Bloom' and received Green Flags for The War Memorial Park and Eastrop Park.
We are of course restricted by the elements and some cutting may not run to schedule, in times of heavy rainfall. This is because taking mowers onto very wet land can create mess and damage the sward of the grass. Continued bad weather can delay cutting and extended dry weather may make cutting unnecessary.
Due to the large area of grass being maintained it is sometimes necessary for mowing to continue during wet weather. However for health and safety reasons grass cutting to banks may not be carried out if the ground is wet. Areas that have been cut during wet weather may appear to be churned up after works have been completed. This is usually superficial and the grass will normally recover within 48 hours.
Most grass in residential areas and adjacent to the highway is cut by a ride-on mower. However, there are some areas of grass which are cut by pedestrian hand mower and these will sometimes be cut separately.
All Environmental Care Operations staff are required to operate all machinery in a safe and appropriate manner and have been appropriately trained to LANTRA standard.
