Message from APHA Environment Section Chair Nsedu Obot Witherspoon
I am excited to have the honor of serving as Section Chair for an additional year! While we have seen a great deal of tragedy unfold over the last few weeks, it is my hope that we continue to remain motivated and focused on the amazingly valuable work that each of us contributes to the field of environmental public health protection each day. A large number of Section members have already begun to heavily engage themselves into various Committee work goals for the year. We appreciate the effort! I look forward to leading the APHA Environmental Health Section from the overall programmatic successes of 2004 into a new year of further Section organization and direction. As always, we hope you enjoy the Section Newsletters and the helpful information contained in each.
In Peace and Health,

Membership Committee
With the inaugural New Members Orientation breakfast meeting at the 2004 APHA Annual Meeting, the Membership Committee started this year off with a bang and will continue forward to make it one of the best ever. Some of the things we hope to accomplish include, but are not limited to: (1) developing a secondary membership list, to keep our secondary members informed; (2) establishing a listserv for dynamic informational purposes; (3) refining the New Members Orientation for the 2005 APHA Annual Meeting; and, (4) exploring the possibility of conducting a membership survey.
To this end, we have already met with APHA to discuss our activities, scheduled our first membership committee meeting, have refined our letters to new and lapsed members, and developed a new letter for secondary members.
We welcome Environment Section members to join us in undertaking any or all of our activities. Please contact us at <
> (Dorothy Stephens) and <
> (Susan Stone). We look forward to having you join us.

"Reprint" of thank-you note
Our Section Chair received the following gracious thank-you note from one of the student travel/registration scholarship recipients. We decided to share it with everyone.
Editors note: we reproduced this from the originally mailed letter, so any bold type was originated by Chapman for emphasis.)
"I would like to send my appreciation for your financial support on the American Public Health Association (APHA) annual conference in November 2004. Your support, together with the Environment Section's compassion and support for graduate students, makes my trip more affordable.
It is truly an honor to accept the
2004 APHA Environment Section Student Scholarship
as a fellow graduate student and researcher with interests in environmental health factors and epidemiology. I am extremely excited that the conference's theme is
'Public Health and the Environment'
so that the Environment Section may shine this year!
I look forward to presenting my research with other distinguished students and researchers and
gaining insight
about other public health disciplines. Public health is such a
field that we must learn to collaboratively work together so that we may reach optimal results. I am also excited to further
which is an essential skill in the sustainability of research projects, and often, graduate careers.
I am honored to have participated in such a grand scholarship competition and to accept this scholarship award. It
truly an
to be among like-minded researchers! As a collective group, we should applaud all students and researchers for our dedicated and scientific efforts! Kudos to all Section organizers, presenters and attendees!
Thank you for your time and interest in graduate students as individual scientists. I look forward to an outstanding conference and opportunity to network in November!
Sincerely yours,
Helena Chapman, BS; Department of Epidemiology and Health Policy Research, College of Public Health and Health Professions, University of Florida"

Built Environment Institute
The Built Environment Institute Considers an Expanded Role
Since 2002, the Built Environment Institute (BEI) has been in a process of rapid development. It was launched at the APHA 131st Annual Meeting held in San Francisco, Nov. 15 – 19, 2003 (BEI I). Four oral scientific sessions, one roundtable session, and a best practices field trip were offered. Twenty-five speakers participated.
The BEI was again offered at this past year's APHA 132nd Annual Meeting held in Washington, D.C., Nov. 7 – 10, 2004 (BEI II). Five oral scientific sessions, two roundtable sessions, three poster sessions, a co-sponsored best practices field trip, and the first meeting of the BEI FORUM were offered. More than sixty speakers presented papers over the course of BEI's four-day program, and nearly 30 invited distinguished guests attended the BEI FORUM. (Editor's Note: An article about the BEI II field trip to the Anacostia River waterfront and its surrounding neighborhoods appeared in the December 2004 / January 2005 issue of the APHA newspaper,
The Nation's Health
, page 26.)
The BEI FORUM, which has received in-kind support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), offered members the opportunity to meet, evaluate, and advance identified multidisciplinary strategic initiatives in addition to addressing BEI development issues. The BEI FORUM produced a number of recommendations for BEI development, which include advocacy, training, partnership development, project facilitation, agenda setting, pilot program development, and to continue in its role as meeting convener.
The BEI FORUM has been conceived as a venue through which many of the activities of the BEI are developed. The BEI FORUM will continue to provide a "think tank" environment to pursue core objectives, including building and supporting strategic partnerships among federal and non-federal agencies and a broad range of stakeholders that address research and action agendas characterizing the human health consequences of the built environment at multiple geographic levels.
Because of BEI's growth and the demand for it to pursue a more expanded role, Environment Section leadership is evaluating the structure and activities of the BEI within the Section and its role within APHA. One outcome of this process is to offer the BEI as part of the APHA pre-meeting Continuing Education Institute (CEI) at this year's APHA 133rd Annual Meeting to be held in New Orleans, Nov. 5-9, 2005 (BEI III). The CEI format will allow BEI III to offer a more symposium-like program and increase its ability to address many of the recommendations being considered by Section Leadership and those proposed by the BEI FORUM. BEI III will also offer three oral scientific sessions in the general meeting as part of the Section's Annual Meeting program.
Funding for BEI is provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the United States Environmental Protection Agency; RWJF also provides in-kind support. The BEI is also grateful for administrative support provided by the APHA.

2005 APHA Annual Meeting: Environment Section Needs Volunteer Abstract Reviewers by Jan. 31, 2005
We hope everyone is still engaged and excited about the recent APHA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., this past November. The theme of "Public Health and the Environment" fell right in line with the goals of the Environment Section, and we learned a great deal, made new discoveries, and traded ideas with our peers regarding how we can advance the field of public health. We hope to continue the success of the 2004 Annual Meeting as we begin planning this year's upcoming meeting.
This is a reminder (re: e-mail sent around the second week of January) that the Environment Section, as in past years, needs volunteers willing to review abstracts submitted for the APHA 2005 Annual Meeting! We appreciate your responses by Jan. 31, 2005. When replying to Aditi, whose e-mail appears below, please indicate which of this year's topic tracks you are most interested in reviewing abstracts for:
1) The 2005 Built Environment Institute (BEI III);
2) Environmental Public Health (EH) - How (for example, EH skills and tools, biological monitoring of exposures, health tracking, epidemiology, risk communication);
3) EH - Who (for example, EH infrastructure and workforce, EH nursing, children's EH, health disparities, Environmental Justice, collaborations, youth involvement);
4) EH – When: Now! (for example, policy; scientific integrity; hot topics related to contaminants, air, water, food, land/land use;
5) EH – Where (for example, local Louisiana issues, border issues, home, school, work, community, international/global, war).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you in advance for participating!

Selected New Books and Non-Profit Reports on Environmental Public Health Topics
We encourage other APHA Environment Section members to share information about new reports and books, available free on the Internet from their organizations, which have the potential to be of broad interest to section members due to their multidisciplinary nature and/or focus on prevention (of exposures, disparities, morbidity, mortality, disability) or policy. However, due to space limitations, please note we publicize neither reports which are also available as archived peer-reviewed journal articles nor government reports and Web sites. Please send your ideas with descriptive text (250-300 words or less) by the appropriate deadlines for upcoming issues of the APHA Environment Section e-newsletter (see above) to <

Summary of new available reports
The Prevention Institute (<

All of their "tools" can be accessed free of charge at: <
Cultivating Common Ground: Linking Health and Sustainable Agriculture
In the public debate of what can be done to address the growing rates of nutrition-related health conditions, considerations of agricultural practices and policy have largely been absent. Sustainable agriculture practices are rarely seen as viable solutions for improving nutrition and health. In fact, there are compelling reasons to link the health and sustainable agriculture sectors. Cultivating Common Ground delineates opportunities for creating a synergistic movement between health and sustainable agriculture, in order to strengthen the momentum for a just, sustainable health-promoting food system. Opportunities to positively impact agriculture, the environment and health make this collaboration not only promising, but essential. The newly released report, funded by the Clarence E. Heller Charitable Foundation and Columbia Foundation, can be downloaded at: <
The Built Environment and Health: 11 Profiles of Neighborhood Transformation
There is growing recognition that the built environment – the physical structures and infrastructure of communities – plays a significant role in shaping our health. With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Environmental Health, Prevention Institute profiled 11 projects across the country in predominantly low-income communities, where residents and practitioners from multiple sectors partnered to make neighborhood-level changes to the built environment. The profiles reveal how improvements to the built environment can positively influence the health of community residents. Taken more broadly, they demonstrate how improvements to the built environment have the potential to reduce health disparities.

Harrisonburg / Shenandoah Valley KOA
[ 8/10 ]
This was our 3rd stay at this campground, and we will stay there again. It is fairly well kept, with roomy, wooded sites. There are nightly movies shown in the pavilion, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. This is one of our favorite places to stay in the Shenandoah Valley.
Edinburg, Virginia
Creekside Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Nice folks, nice campground, nice town. Close to several Shenandoah Valley wineries. Our only complaint is that when we and our neighbors in the next site dumped our tanks (in the sewer dump at the site, not at the dump station), the septic system overflowed into the campsites. Don't know if something was wrong temporarily or if this is an everyday occurrence. Maybe related to shallow septic system due to proximity to the creek? We would probably camp there again, though.

When the Kings of Leon first appeared on the scene in the early 2000s a lot of people thought their backstory was bullshit: Three brothers and their cousin raised in the South by a strict, traveling Pentecostal preacher just seemed just too perfect to be true. Some British outlets even wanted to give the band a lie detector test. It turned out everything they said about their past was true, and their new documentary Talihina Sky backs up every word of it – as you can see in the above trailer. The film has been added to this year's Tribeca Film Festival line-up.

Whether you flew it yourself or observed others flying it, you can expect to achieve your highest hopes if the kite flew easily. The happy omen is intensified if children were involved. However, if the string broke or the kite was damaged or blew away, you should be prepared for disappointment due to careless management of your affairs.

Discussion on Hsbro B,F 3 times removed within the Boba Fett Helmet forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; This helmet i basicly turfed every thing but the dome
Last edited by BGHunter; Nov 5, 2010 at 5:04 PM.
Did you just sand all the paint of or what?
This seriously started out as a Hasbro Fett helmet? Wow!
Yeah i sanded the whole dome andd took of the kill stripes and silver battle damage as you can see the colour of the dome was green to start, and then gave the out side a qwick spray with flat white , unfortinantly my camera was not working when i began this prodject so i could not document the first steps.
So you've narrowed the horizontal eye part to give it the right squint. What else did you cut or trim?
I remade every peice that you see, the dome is the only original peice i trimed the back to get the right hight and length, the whole mandibles the side burns even cut out the key slot and the surounding frame, im making the ears and range finder stork at the moment and filling the gaps with epoxy ill add some pics to night
Last edited by BGHunter; Oct 13, 2010 at 7:29 AM. Reason: rewording
Here are all the parts that i hav removed from the original and then replaced If you havent seen the hasbro B.F in person you might not relise how over sized the ears and the key slots are and the obvious massive vizor the small lower cheaks and the back plate half an inch to long so out of the $95 That the lid cost me im only using about $25 worth the rest is going in the bin.
Any way im starting to paint to day still cant deside witch version to do but am leaning towards ESB.
Ok ive pulled the right ear of done a whole lot of work all over this , Iv e added the flat peices for were the ears are to bee placed iveconter sunk stong magnets in all the flat peices and the earss and the range finder atachstalk housing then filled over them all so it will all hold together nicly with out glueing or skrewing them in placeIalso have put a few hours of work in redoing the dent. nxt another sand and 1 more coat of primer then to a=start painting i have desided to go for the pre pro style the one were he has the yellow and brick red gaunts.
I cant wait to paint this up.
Can any one help me out , I need to find some refrence pics onthe pre pro helmet the one wth the yellow gauntlets ive been looking and no luck.
Last edited by BGHunter; Oct 3, 2010 at 9:29 AM.

you paid $95 for the hasbro helmet? please say you are kidding. Target has these for 30 bucks!
he is in the land of Oz so things are expensive there...............the price you pay for being that far away from everyone else.
Not the targets in Australia! and i also paid that for the hasbro clone trooper , I know its a rip, you can getm on ebay around the $30 mark as well.
I am an impulse buyer if i see it and have the money in my poket any thing fett il buy

I am debating weather to paint this in either the "sandy" Helmet seeing now that F,P and Art are offering that legendery piece witch i hope to get one so i wont need two of the same paint styles or mabey i do, any way big decision, witch style.
Id just but down the helmet after cuting the battle damage groves out when i saw there post , o well i can just fill my groves back in
Last edited by BGHunter; Oct 5, 2010 at 4:54 AM.
Does any one know if there are refrence shots of the sandy helmet if been goyng through the gallery and im not having any luck,
Check under "".
There's 2 pics on page 5 of the "Pre-Pro3" page.
There are a few more floating around also. One is from a promo shoot and two or three more of it all busted up sitting on a dusty shelf in the LFL Archives with a couple others.
BTW, I've always had a softspot for the Sandy even with all of it's wicked fuggliness.
Thanks mate i did find them it would be hard tomake an acurate paint job frm those pics, I not 100% on witch way to go but i may even do the good old E,S,B .
its to hard to decide. grrrrrr so many posibilities
Right, it's hard to see where the actual paintjob ends and the wear and tear begins. It's definately the black sheep, odd man out of the original six helmets.
Can any one tell me the name of the krylon colors that is for most used on the real rotj helmet color dome and cheeks
Ive got the kill stripes down im realy undesided on wether to take a belt sander to this whole thing strip her back to bare and start painting again........ Idont know ....Its a hard helmet to replicate due to the fact that the in refrence pics it looks like it had been used as a door stop at skywalker ranch for the last 25 year and the few pics of it new the weathering on it seams to be difrent each shoot. Mabey im just making excuses for the fact that im doing a bad job.
Last edited by BGHunter; May 7, 2012 at 12:20 AM.
dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm why the hec did that photo get atached that suxxxxxxxxxxxx.
some one please tell me how i can delete the pic off that guy, who ever he is
You are doing a very fine job. lookforwd to seeing the finished product.
Your first painting job is a learning experience. So don't sweat it. The guys here who get commisioned for helmets have done multiple paint jobs to get where they are... and remember that you're doing a helmet based only off photo stills. It's not like the ESB paint job that has templates available here. You're doing a good job!
Yeah man, I think it's looking good.
Thanks for the kind words all , Still cant work out how to remove the pic of that "strapping young lad"
any way im feeling a bit beter about the paint job so thnx again guys
Ive got the back paintedand fixed up the kill stripes to make it look like the real sandy lid,and i removed the first magnets that were not quite stong enough added some super strong magnets as the atachment method for the ears then i filled over them with 2 part epoxy nxt to sand over them and paint the red on the equatoral strip
I can't believe that used to be a hasbro helmet
Im having trouble loading pics up , and for some reson the screen is showing a white page with pasic font insted of the usual black pages is any one else haviong this problem?
very nice job on the hasbro mod ...doing the exact same mod .....only i got mine apart a little better
The back panels u painted on are ROTJ not ESB which you have going on the rest of the helmet...not sure if you knew that or not....
Wow, I was just looking at those in TRU with my son a few days ago and wondering how accurate they were.
That is a really great job you are doing with it! It is certainly a difficult paint job.
I am waiting to be able to post in the Cargo Hold to get one of the awesome helmets being offered now.
Maybe I will pick up one of these toys to practice painting...
Keep up he good work and the posts of your progress!
you talking about the PP2v2 youll have to excuse me for mistaking it with the yellow kill stripes sandys had the red/orange not yellow
Yes in all fair nes i did get the colours a bit off i did do the stipes orange over yellow shouldhav been over red, any way ive been pulling a few out off the mould and im going to do the same sceam just with closer colours , I also sanded the hell out of one got it smooth am moving the arows over 2 mls and just neatn in the whole thingup and going to rest the mould with the cleaned up version
Ok so what ive done here is with the casts i made keept one of them as it came out just cleaned it up, an of the other 2 i cut themm up and am in the middle of making one as close to the real thing as pos , basicliy changed all the mesurements using photos and my jango asok and my old mystery as refrences(only), After getting all the sizes right i thort i was pretty happy with it exept for the dome shape from birds eye veiw so ive cut the dome off again and used a mix of expoxy filler and fiber glass resin mixed em together so they can be painted on then applied and worked it to the shape it should be, its a lot of work but iv put this much time in it so far i may as well get it right im all so making the ears up , at the right size and a 2 sets of the larger wof size for the hasbro mod and its resin copy i might as well finish them astempting as it is to cut them both up aswell and get the ears the right size but ill limit my self,
I am amazed at what you have been able to do so far!
Thanx Elusive
I have placed the helmet ive made next to my mystery helmet(Iadded the ear platforms on my self) for comparison onlyI have painstakinly cut it up trimed it down heated it up and cooled it downmany times now and i think ihave almost gotten it right,Getting the profile and the and the egg shape on the dome tok alot of work , i hope you guys like it ,I know each step in this evolution of this build i think i have it right but this thime i think i rely have it coverd, in the middle of scratching up some ears at the mo.
Just to reitterate all of this helmet is made by me nothing has been used from any one elses build oriinaly the dome was from a hasbro fett 2 genarations agoand i have extensivly remade that , the mystery is for comparison only ..
Thanx for reading

By Tim Hepher and Jean Décotte
TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - France backed Airbus
Germany is unhappy about its share of work on the $15 billion A350 aircraft project and has withheld half of a roughly 1.2 billion euro ($1.6 billion) development loan, sources close to the matter say.
In a rare intervention, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said it was essential all partners met their funding commitments for the A350, the newest generation of aircraft in the European planemaker's fierce rivalry with Boeing
Speaking at the inauguration of an A350 production plant in southwest France, Ayrault did not refer to France's closest ally by name. But he left no doubt that he was referring to the rift with Germany, which has deepened since Berlin blocked a merger between Airbus parent EADS and UK's BAE Systems
Speaking to over 1,000 workers, Ayrault said:
"The European partner nations...have always played a major role in the development of major aerospace projects," he said.
"It is of course the case for the A350, and it is essential that their commitments are met in full. As for France, its own commitments will be respected."
Plans for the $45 billion merger to form the world's largest aerospace and defense group fell part earlier this month with most of the participants blaming German Chancellor Angela Merkel for derailing the deal, something Berlin denies.
Flanked by heads of EADS and Airbus during an emotional ceremony honoring one of the planemaker's founders, Ayrault gave strong backing to EADS Chief Executive Tom Enders.
"I have supported EADS," he told reporters. "It is very important to give a message of confidence to the whole of the EADS group, not just Airbus, and I think this was expected."
Enders, a German-born executive who has clashed with Berlin over his decision to base the aerospace group in Toulouse where many of its aircraft are built, chatted and joked with airline customers but did not take a direct part in the ceremony.
His successor at the helm of Airbus, Frenchman Fabrice Bregier, acknowledged the tensions with Berlin.
"To my knowledge, we've still some debates in Germany and only in Germany," he told reporters. "But I'm very confident that we'll get through that and that we'll demonstrate that the A350 is not limited to the assembly line in Toulouse."
Even as European nations argue over A350 funding, the use of government loans to help finance Airbus projects is itself the subject of a bitter trade dispute with the United States.
"Father of Airbus" Roger Beteille, 91, paid tribute to European aircraft co-operation as he received a standing ovation from Airbus workers in the assembly hall named in his honor.
The new Airbus jet heralds a new phase in the race for fuel efficiency and profits with U.S. rival Boeing.
Built in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the A350 is Europe's first contribution to a new generation of jets designed to cut airline fuel bills by using mainly lightweight carbon-composite materials instead of heavier aluminum.
Airbus and Boeing expect total demand for more than 6,000 such mid-sized, long-range jets worth hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 20 years.
Their arrival is expected to alter the shape of long-haul travel by leading to new routes bypassing crowded hub airports, since the aircraft are smaller than people-carriers such as the Airbus A380 superjumbo and the newest version of Boeing's 747.
But both firms face huge construction challenges for the revolutionary jets, woven and baked out of carbon fiber that is stronger and lighter than metal but costlier to produce. Neither the A350 nor the 787 is expected to make a profit for years.
Airbus says the A350 will take to the skies in the summer of 2013 and enter service in the second half of 2014. Production is scheduled to peak at 10 aircraft a month in 2018. Three variants will be produced, seating between 270 and 350 people.
Bregier confirmed that Airbus was looking at increasing volumes for the largest of the three, the A350-1000, in a battle for the mini-jumbo market as reported by Reuters on Monday.

Cleaning Michigan's rivers
State officials have opened up a competitive grant program for river cleanup projects.
People can buy a special fundraising license plate in Michigan. It's called the water quality protection plate and it funds small grants to local governments for river cleanup projects.
Bill Dimond is with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. He says the DEQ collects the fees from those license plates. Then an agency called the Great Lakes Commission decides who receives the grants. The cities and towns have to provide 25%.
"A good applicant has good match funds, they'll engage a lot of volunteers in the program and they'll clean up stretches of river that really need it," says Dimond.
This year, 25-thousand dollars is available. The application deadline is January 22nd.

Buying this computer was so much less stressful (and cheaper) than it might have been. Ginger6 got straight back to us to question an element of our order and suggest a solution, and then delivered it within 3 working days despite a last minute alteration at our end. Their communications are clear and to-the-point and there's always somebody at the end of the phone who is polite and helpful. The computer itself appears to be excellent and was up and running very straightforwardly. Ginger6 come across as a really efficient and effective organisation: I can only recommend them.

One is local Democrat and current Asheville City Council member, Cecil Bothwell, who's running for the 11th Congressional District. Says Greenwald about the process of making his picks, "three candidates emerged who I really believe are worth highlighting and supporting: Norman Solomon in California, Franke Wilmer in Montana and Cecil Bothwell in North Carolina. All three have a long, established record of genuine independence and outspoken advocacy on difficult issues, and I'm positive that none will simply become loyal foot soldiers to Party leadership or blend into the rotted D.C. woodwork."

American actress Jennifer Jones was born on March 2, 1919 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her first acting role in The Song of Bernadette (1943) garnered her an Academy Award. She continued to act in television and films during the 1940s-1970s and was Oscar nominated five times. Highlights from her career include Love Letters (1945),
Duel in the Sun (1946) and Love Is a Many Splendored Thing (1955). Later in life she worked as the chairwoman at the Norton Simon Museum. Jones died December 17, 2009 in Malibu, California.
Early Career
Actress Phyllis Flora Isley, better known as Jennifer Jones, was born on March 2, 1919, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jones studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, where she met and married aspiring actor Robert Walker in 1939. Shortly after, she won a six-month contract from Republic Pictures and moved to California. In 1944, Jones divorced Walker. Around the same time, she met Hollywood mogul David O. Selznick, who saw promise in Jones' work and signed her to a personal contract. Selznick and Jones were married from 1945 until his death in 1965.
Collaboration with Selznick
In general, Jones' professional and personal involvement with Selznick has been given a prominence that has colored assessments of her distinctive contribution to 1940s cinema. Interestingly, the central issue is not that Jones lacked talent or screen presence. The longstanding criticism is that Selznick, because of his commitment to Jones, had no critical distance and, with King Vidor's Duel in the Sun (1946), tried to fashion an erotic identity for her, making Jones into a ridiculous creation. Previously, her screen persona was as an innocent child/woman, an image established by her first starring role in Henry King's The Song of Bernadette (1943). She had also given an intense and emotionally charged performance as a girl making the transition from youth to maturity in John Cromwell's Since You Went Away (1944).
As the sensual half-breed Pearl in Duel in the Sun, Jones succeeded in giving an audaciously conceived performance. She employed a degree of physical gesture that had more in common with silent-screen acting technique than with the naturalistic behavioral mannerisms associated with the sound cinema. In addition, while her physical presence is intended to be provocative, she does not allow her physicality to undermine the complex psychological dimensions of the character. Thus, Duel in the Sun is a remarkable achievement but, like her performance, it has often been misinterpreted as degrading to female sexuality. Though conceived on a lesser scale, Ruby Gentry (1952) is equally successful in dealing with the same themes, and again Jones's sensuality is central to the expression of those concerns.
From the beginning, the screen persona of Jones was imbued with a degree of hysteria, and in Vincente Minnelli's underrated Madame Bovary (1949) this characteristic erupts with particular impact. Minnelli, a director very sensitive to the various aspects of Jones' sensibility, including her romantic indulgence, encouraged her to give a subtle performance without relinquishing the extravagant conception the character has of her identity.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

text: Thriving on Ice: My Austrian Crash Course in Winter Driving On a solid sheet of ice near the Austrian Alps, PM learns the secrets of how to keep your car under control in difficult conditions, from the master driving instructors at Audi. By Andrew Del-Colle Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 9 Next Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Hold the Steering Wheel Correctly Unfortunately, most of us were taught incorrectly. Forget 10 and two. Your hands need to be at nine and three, and this doesn't only apply to driving in treacherous conditions, either. Here's a simple test: Hold your hands in both positions and try rotating the wheel a full 180 degrees without adjusting your grip. At nine and three, you have a much wider range of motion than you do at 10 and two. This is important for counter-steering and reacting quickly to emergencies. For the purpose of our class, we shut off our vehicles' Electronic Stability Programs. This made it easier to engage the car in understeer or oversteer. Oversteer is most often caused by hitting the gas or brake after you've already turned the wheel into the corner, causing the back end of the vehicle to swing out. The appropriate response is to immediately countersteer by turning the wheel in the same direction the back end swings out until you feel the car start to correct itself. The quicker you can countersteer, the faster you can regain control of the car.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (4 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
Read today's News Roundup for BioLogos-curated collection of articles analyzing and commenting on last week's debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham—as well as some Valentine's Day amusements.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
"All of a sudden, it was possible to grant a text deep authority (a 'high view of scripture' we say) while discounting neither our own experience, nor the historical experience of those writing, compiling, editing that same text. To put it differently, all of a sudden, history mattered—the history of the text itself, and the history of our interpretations of a text."
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
If you're new to investigating the relationship between science and Christian faith, the Book Club is a great place to start the journey.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"We were (mostly) prepared for the academic arguments but not necessarily the thing many fear in this discussion: personal conflict."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Having won an ECF grant, Cara Wall-Scheffler, biological anthropologist at Seattle Pacific University, and I are now planning to host a group of 18 young Christian paleobiologists for a week-long seminar during late June, 2014. Our seminar will include guest lectures by scientists, historians, and pastors who all have an interest in discussing bridging faith and science 'gaps.'
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.

CHICAGO — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday joined representatives from Walgreens to celebrate the grand opening of a new Walgreens flagship store in the Bucktown-Wicker Park neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon, taking the opportunity to remind Chicagoans about the importance of getting a flu shot this season.
"This new flagship Walgreens not only provides dozens of new jobs for Chicagoans, it serves as an anchor for these neighborhoods, and is opening just in time to add to the city's flu prevention efforts this season," Emanuel said. "It's important for people across the city to take steps that keep them healthy. The city has launched an interactive online tool to help Chicagoans find flu shot locations, and has crafted partnerships to provide additional opportunities for people to get flu shots right in their own neighborhoods."
This week, the Chicago Department of Public Health is teaming with Walgreens and community partners across Chicago to remind Chicagoans that "It's Not Too Late to Get a Flu Shot," and is launching the first Vaccinate Chicago Week, which runs through Dec. 8.
"We're proud to welcome Mayor Emanuel to this great new location to reinforce the need for prevention and protection from influenza," commented Kermit Crawford, Walgreens president of pharmacy, health and wellness. "We continue to work together to develop new programs that bring our pharmacists and Take Care Clinic nurse practitioners into Chicago communities, providing greater access to flu shots and other immunizations. Initiatives like Vaccinate Chicago Week can go a long way toward keeping Chicago healthy throughout the cold and flu season."

NH Catholics give $165,500 for Hurricane Sandy relief
Bishop Peter A. Libasci called for a special collection on Nov. 10-11, 2012, 11 days after the hurricane devastated communities from the Caribbean to the mid-Atlantic.
Funds collected will be distributed to Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Relief Services, and the Diocese of Rockville Center on Long Island.
Libasci said, "Like so many, I was shaken by the destruction in New Jersey, New York and on Long Island. Some of the areas affected were places where I grew up and where I served as a priest and bishop, so this disaster is particularly painful for me to witness. The people of New Hampshire are always quick to respond to a need, either here in our state or during times of disasters. I am so grateful to those who have come together to offer what they can to help rebuild. Your generosity and the power of your prayers are added to millions of others around the world and will make a real difference in the lives of those affected by Hurricane Sandy."

Today's Top Videos: Stimulus II, Weak Euro & More...
The possibility of a second economic stimulus package gained momentum after Fed chairman Bernanke urged Congress to consider a new plan, while Treasury secretary Paulson said in a briefing that giving money to banks won't hurt taxpayers. Following are today's top videos:
Paulson's Capital Purchase Plan
"Over the last few weeks, we have worked aggressively to implement the authorities provided by congress and the financial rescue package earlier on this month. This morning, I will provide a short update on the capital purchase program that is a key component of that package."
—Henry Paulson, Treasury Secretary
Euro Rates Heading Lower
"[Madame Lagarde is] probably on the optimistic side. We are currently forecasting about 0.3 to 0.5 percent growth for GDP next year. And like in other countries such as the UK, we don't have so much of a problem in the household sector…"
—Jean-Michel Six, Chief European Economist, Standard & Poor
Calling for CDS Regulation
"Tomorrow, the settlements of the [Lehman Brothers' ] auction-outcome begin. I think it will be very interesting to see because that will be a very telling sign as to there was behind the credit default-swaps."
—Eric Dinallo, Superintendent, New York State Insurance Department

The talk about a stimulus package is not really a stimulus package—it's preventing things from getting much worse…So what we need now is a comprehensive stimulus program."
—Joseph Stiglitz, 2001 Nobel Prize winner/ Columbia University Professor
