Errol Mark Morris (born February 5, 1948) is an American film director. In 2003, The Guardian put him seventh in its list of the world's 40 best active directors.[1] In 2003, his film The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
Early life and education[edit]
Morris was born on February 5, 1948, and raised in a Jewish family in Hewlett, New York.[2] When he was two years old, his father died of a heart attack. His mother, a Juilliard graduate, supported Morris and his brother as a music teacher. Morris attended Hewlett Elementary School in a class with Brent Glass, Tony Kornheiser and former Village Voice editor David Schneiderman.[citation needed]
After being treated for strabismus in childhood, he refused to wear an eye patch. As a consequence, he has limited sight in one eye and lacks normal stereoscopic vision.[3]
In the 10th grade, Morris attended The Putney School, a boarding school in Vermont. He began playing the cello, spending a summer in France studying music under the acclaimed Nadia Boulanger, who also taught Morris' future collaborator Philip Glass. Describing Morris as a teenager, Mark Singer wrote that he "read with a passion the forty-odd Oz books, watched a lot of television, and on a regular basis went with a doting but not quite right maiden aunt ('I guess you'd have to say that Aunt Roz was somewhat demented') to Saturday matinées, where he saw such films as This Island Earth and Creature from the Black Lagoon — horror movies that, viewed again 30 years later, still seem scary to him."[4]
Morris attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, graduating in 1969 with a B.A. in history. For a brief time Morris held small jobs, first as a cable television salesman and then as a term-paper writer. His unorthodox approach to applying for grad school included "trying to get accepted at different graduate schools just by showing up on their doorstep."[4] Having unsuccessfully approached both the University of Oxford and Harvard University, Morris was able to talk his way into Princeton University, where he began studying the history of science, a topic in which he had "absolutely no background." His concentration was in the history of physics, and he was bored and unsuccessful in the prerequisite physics classes he had to take. This, together with his antagonistic relationship with his advisor Thomas Kuhn ("'You won't even look through my telescope.' And his response was 'Errol, it's not a telescope, it's a kaleidoscope.'"[4]) ensured that his stay at Princeton would be short.
Morris left Princeton in 1972, enrolling at Berkeley as a Ph.D. student in philosophy. At Berkeley, he once again found that he was not well-suited to his subject. "Berkeley was just a world of pedants. It was truly shocking. I spent two or three years in the philosophy program. I have very bad feelings about it," he later said.[4] He became a regular at the Pacific Film Archive. As Tom Luddy, the director of the archive at the time, later remembered: "He was a film noir nut. He claimed we weren't showing the real film noir. So I challenged him to write the program notes. Then, there was his habit of sneaking into the films and denying that he was sneaking in. I told him if he was sneaking in he should at least admit he was doing it."[4]
Unfinished project on Ed Gein[edit]
Inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho, Morris visited Plainfield, Wisconsin in 1975. While in Wisconsin, he conducted multiple interviews with Ed Gein, the infamous serial killer who was a resident at Mendota State Hospital in Madison. He later made plans with German film director Werner Herzog, whom Tom Luddy had introduced to Morris, to return in the summer of 1975 to secretly open the grave of Gein's mother to test their theory that Gein himself had already dug her up. Herzog arrived on schedule, but Morris had second thoughts and was not there. Herzog did not open the grave. Morris later returned to Plainfield, this time staying for almost a year, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews. Although he had plans to either write a book or make a film (which he would call Digging up the Past), Morris never completed his Ed Gein project.
In the fall of 1976, Herzog visited Plainfield again, this time to shoot part of his film Stroszek. After the shooting finished, Herzog handed Morris an envelope with cash in it. Morris walked over to the motel window and tossed the envelope out the window into a parking lot. Herzog went out to the parking lot and brought the money back, again offering it to Morris, saying, "Please don't do that again."[4]
First films[edit]
Morris accepted the $2,000 and used it to take a trip to Vernon, Florida. Vernon was nicknamed "Nub City" because its residents participated in a particularly gruesome form of insurance fraud in which they deliberately amputated a limb in order to collect the insurance money. Morris's second documentary would be about the town and bear its name, although it makes no mention of Vernon as "Nub City", but instead explores other idiosyncrasies of the town's residents. Morris made this omission because he received death threats while doing research; the town's residents were afraid that Morris would reveal their secret.
After spending two weeks in Vernon, Morris returned to Berkeley and began working on a script for a work of fiction that he called Nub City. After a few unproductive months, he happened to read a headline in the San Francisco Chronicle that read, "450 DEAD PETS GOING TO NAPA VALLEY". Morris left for Napa Valley and began working on the film that would become his first feature, Gates of Heaven. In 1978, when the film premiered, Werner Herzog cooked and publicly ate his shoe, an event later incorporated into a short documentary by Les Blank. Herzog had promised to eat his shoe if Morris completed the project, to challenge and encourage Morris, whom Herzog perceived as incapable of following up on the projects he conceived. At the public shoe-eating, Herzog suggested that he hoped the act would serve to encourage anyone having difficulty bringing a project to fruition.
Gates of Heaven was given a limited release in the spring of 1981. Critic Roger Ebert was and remained a champion of the film, including it on his all-time top ten best films list. Morris returned to Vernon in 1979 and again in 1980, renting a house in town and conducting interviews with the town's citizens. Vernon, Florida premiered at the 1981 New York Film Festival. Newsweek called it, "a film as odd and mysterious as its subjects, and quite unforgettable." The film, like Gates of Heaven, suffered from poor distribution. It was released on video in 1987, and DVD in 2005.
After finishing Vernon, Florida, Morris tried unsuccessfully to get funding for a variety of projects. There was Road, a story about an interstate highway in Minnesota; a project about Robert Golka, the creator of laser-induced fireballs in Utah; and the story of Centralia, Pennsylvania, the coal town in which an inextinguishable subterranean fire ignited in 1962. He eventually got funding in 1983 to write a script about John and Jim Pardue, a pair of Missouri bank robbers who had killed their father and grandmother and robbed five banks. Morris's pitch went, "The great bank-robbery sprees always take place at a time when something is going wrong in the country. Bonnie and Clyde were apolitical, but it's impossible to imagine them without the Depression as a back-drop. The Pardue brothers were apolitical, but it's impossible to imagine them without Vietnam."[4] Morris wanted Tom Waits and Mickey Rourke to play the brothers, and he wrote the script, but the project eventually failed. Morris worked on writing scripts for various other projects, including a pair of ill-fated Stephen King adaptations.
In 1984, Morris married Julia Sheehan, whom he had met in Wisconsin while researching Ed Gein and other serial killers. He would later recall an early conversation with Julia: "I was talking to a mass murderer but I was thinking of you," he said, and instantly regretted it, afraid that it might not have sounded as affectionate as he had wished. But Julia was actually flattered: "I thought, really, that was one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me. It was hard to go out with other guys after that."[4]
The Thin Blue Line[edit]
In 1985, Morris became interested in Dr. James Grigson, a psychiatrist in Dallas. Under Texas law, the death penalty can only be issued if the jury is convinced that the defendant is not only guilty, but will commit further violent crimes in the future if he is not put to death. Grigson had spent 15 years testifying for such cases, and he almost invariably gave the same damning testimony, often saying that it is "one hundred per cent certain" that the defendant would kill again.[5] This led to Grigson being nicknamed "Dr. Death".[6] Through Grigson, Morris would meet the subject of his next film, 36 year-old Randall Dale Adams.[7]
Adams was serving a life sentence that had been commuted from a death sentence on a legal technicality for the 1976 murder of Robert Wood, a Dallas police officer. Adams told Morris that he had been framed, and that David Harris, who was present at the time of the murder and was the principal witness for the prosecution, had in fact killed Wood. Morris began researching the case because it related to Dr. Grigson. He was at first unconvinced of Adams's innocence. After reading the transcripts of the trial and meeting David Harris at a bar, however, Morris was no longer so sure.
At the time, Morris had been making a living as a private investigator for a well-known private detective agency that specialized in Wall Street cases. Bringing together his talents as an investigator and his obsessions with murder, narration, and epistemology, Morris went to work on the case in earnest. Unedited interviews in which the prosecution's witnesses systematically contradicted themselves were used as testimony in Adams's 1986 habeas corpus hearing to determine if he would receive a new trial. David Harris famously confessed, in a roundabout manner, to killing Wood.
Although Adams was finally found innocent after years of being processed by the legal system, the judge in the habeas corpus hearing officially stated that, "much could be said about those videotape interviews, but nothing that would have any bearing on the matter before this court." Regardless, The Thin Blue Line, as Morris's film would be called, was popularly accepted as the main force behind getting its subject, Randall Adams, out of prison. As Morris said of the film, "The Thin Blue Line is two movies grafted together. On one simple level is the question, Did he do it, or didn't he? And on another level, The Thin Blue Line, properly considered, is an essay on false history. A whole group of people, literally everyone, believed a version of the world that was entirely wrong, and my accidental investigation of the story provided a different version of what happened."[8]
According to a survey by The Washington Post, The Thin Blue Line made dozens of critics' top ten lists for 1988, more than any other film that year. It won the documentary of the year award from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics. Despite its widespread acclaim, it was not nominated for an Oscar, which created a small scandal regarding the nomination practices of the Academy. The Academy cited the film's genre of "non-fiction", arguing that it was not actually a documentary. To this day, The Thin Blue Line is one of the most critically acclaimed documentaries ever made.
Although Morris has achieved fame as a documentary filmmaker, he is also an accomplished director of television commercials. In 2002, Morris directed a series of television ads for Apple Computer as part of a popular "Switch" campaign. The commercials featured ex-Windows users discussing their various bad experiences that motivated their own personal switches to Macintosh. One commercial in the series, starring Ellen Feiss, a high-schooler friend of his son Hamilton Morris, became an Internet meme. Morris has directed hundreds of commercials for various companies and products, including Adidas, AIG, Cisco Systems, Citibank, Kimberly-Clark's Depend brand, Levi's, Miller High Life, Nike, PBS, The Quaker Oats Company, Southern Comfort, EA Sports, Toyota and Volkswagen. Many of these commercials are available on his website.
In 2002, Morris was commissioned to make a short film for the 75th Academy Awards. He was hired based on his advertising resume, not his career as a director of feature-length documentaries. Those interviewed ranged from Laura Bush to Iggy Pop to Kenneth Arrow to Morris's 15-year-old son Hamilton. Morris was nominated for an Emmy for this short film. He considered editing this footage into a feature length film, focusing specifically on Donald Trump discussing Citizen Kane (This segment was later released on the second issue of Wholphin). Morris went on to make a second short for the 79th Academy Awards in 2007, this time interviewing the various nominees and asking them about their Oscar experiences.
In July 2004, Morris directed another series of commercials in the style of the "Switch" ads. This campaign featured Republicans who voted for Bush in the 2000 election giving their personal reasons for voting for Kerry in 2004. Upon completing more than 50 commercials, Morris had difficulty getting them on the air. Eventually, the liberal advocacy group MoveOn PAC paid to air a few of the commercials. Morris also wrote an editorial for the New York Times discussing the commercials and Kerry's losing campaign.
In the fall of 2004, Morris also directed a series of noteworthy commercials for Sharp Electronics. The commercials enigmatically depicted various scenes from what appeared to be a short narrative that climaxed with a car crashing into a swimming pool. Each commercial showed a slightly different perspective on the events, and each ended with a cryptic weblink. The weblink was to a fake webpage advertising a prize offered to anyone who could discover the secret location of some valuable urns. It was in fact an alternate reality game. The original commercials can be found on Morris's website.
Morris also directed a series of commercials for Reebok that featured six prominent National Football League (NFL) players. The 30-second promotional videos were aired during the 2006 NFL season.[9] In 2013 Morris stated that he has made around 1,000 commercials during his career.[10]
Recent work[edit]
In 2003, Morris won the Oscar for Best Documentary for The Fog of War, a film about the career of Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. In the hauntingly re-enacted opening about McNamara relationship with U.S. General Curtis LeMay during World War II, Morris brings out complexities in the character of McNamara, which shaped McNamara's positions in the Cuban missile crisis and the Vietnam War. Like his earlier documentary, The Thin Blue Line, The Fog of War included extensive use of re-enactments, a technique which many had believed was inappropriate for documentaries.
In early 2010, a new Morris documentary was submitted to several film festivals, including Toronto International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and Telluride Film Festival.[11] The film, titled Tabloid,[12] features interviews with Joyce McKinney, a former Miss Wyoming, who was convicted in absentia for the kidnap and indecent assault of a Mormon missionary in England during 1977.
Morris has also written long-form journalism, exploring different areas of interest and published on the New York Times website. A collection of these essays, entitled Believing is Seeing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photography, was published by Penguin Press on September 1, 2011. In November 2011, Morris premiered a documentary short entitled "The Umbrella Man"—featuring Josiah "Tink" Thompson—about the Kennedy assassination on the The New York Times website.[13]
In 2012, Morris published his second book, A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald, about Jeffrey MacDonald, the Green Beret physician accused of killing his wife and two daughters on February 17, 1970. Morris first became interested in the case in the early 1990s and believes that MacDonald is not guilty after undertaking extensive research.[14] Morris explained in a July 2013 interview, prior to the reopening of the case: "What happened here is wrong. It's wrong to convict a man under these circumstances. And if I can help correct that, I will be a happy camper."[10]
The Interrotron is a device similar to a teleprompter: Errol and his subject each sit facing a camera. The image of each person's face is then projected onto a two-way mirror positioned in front of the lens of the other's camera. Instead of looking at a blank lens, then, both Morris and his subject are looking directly at a human face. (Diagram) Morris believes that the machine helps to explore the relationship between "monologue and language, and how people present themselves to camera, and express themselves to camera."[15]
The name "Interrotron" was coined by Morris's wife, who, according to Morris, "liked the name because it combined two important concepts — terror and interview."[16]
Aesthetic context and voice[edit]
Morris is a multiple stylist in the "aesthetic context" sense of Erik Barnouw's Documentary: A History of the Non-Fiction Film. His "Prosecutor"-style Thin Blue Line influenced legal process and led to Randall Adams's release. He utilizes the "Chronicler" style for big events and the "Observer" style for given-moment events. He is best known for the "Catalyst" style that is seen as direct, natural, and cinematically truthful, as no directorial voice-over or "voice" is heard among the voices of others.[17]

Former Tigers pitcher Jack Morris was on the ballot for the 14th time. Alan Trammell was also on the ballot but only received 35 per cent of the votes cast. The steroids players-- Clemens, Bonds, Sosa and McGwire were also on the ballot for the first time and none came close to election.

By Harry Haun
Off stage, it's the opposite story: "To be with veterans like Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams, to be coddling me and nurturing me through this experience has been something I will never forget," he declared. "I came from Shakespeare Festivals in high school, went from that to television and film, so this is always the end game—to get back on stage, but to do it as a debut on Broadway has really been fantastic!"
Tom Wopat also gets some sympathetic licks in as the sheriff who is sent to fetch the elderly runaway. The character came, in fictionalized Foote fashion, from an actual lawman in Foote country. "He was definitely supposed to be a racist," the actor admitted, "but he also was such a politician that he worked with the black community because they had votes and they elected him. He actually worked very hard for them. He had a national radio program in the '50's and appeared in Life, Look and The Saturday Evening Post, but he was known for being fair-minded."
Like Williams, Wopat has a musical-theatre gene and wins Tony nominations with it. "My new CD's called 'I've Got Your Number," he said. "We did a date at 54 Below in February, playing it from beginning to end, and we expect to come back. Somewhere in the fall, I'm going to do a week somewhere. We're talking to the Carlyle." Another possibility is a night at Birdland, and for that he wouldn't have to leave 43rd Street.

Rashad didn't immediately snap up the role, she confessed. "It's so subtle I almost didn't pick it up, really. I saw what it was, and I knew what it was about, but I didn't understand it till I talked to the director. He opened my eyes to what the challenges are to this play, which upped the stakes immediately for me. So I went back, thinking, 'Maybe I'm not reading right.' I reread it and said, 'Okay, I see it now.'"
Director Wilson, who directed a superb Caucasian version of this play Off-Broadway eight years ago, knows the play's emotional roadmap by heart—especially by heart—and simply transferred the same human needs of the characters to African-Americans—a seamless exercise that points up the timeless universality of the play.
In addition to the people above, he outfitted it pretty much with The Horton Foote Stock Company—worthies like Devon Abner, Arthur French, Curtis Billings, Pat Bowie and Charles Turner. In all, Wilson said, "there are 14 fantastic actors who have come together to tell, arguably, Horton's greatest masterpiece—certainly his most popular and most known play. I personally believe it belongs, really, on the same shelf as Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Jaeger-LeCoultre and the International Herald Tribune continue to support the World Heritage Marine Programme
The Tides of Time programme, initiated in 2008 through a partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre and the International Herald Tribune, has entered its second year.
The year began with coverage of sites such as Sian Kaan in Mexico and the Everglades in the USA. Other sites including the Atoll of Aldabra (Seychelles), Sundarbans (Bangladesh/India), Shiretoko (Japan), and the Peninsula Valdez (Argentina) should be the focus of this year's campaign.
The partnership, implemented over a period of three years, has also generated support for the site of Tubbataha (Philippines) through an online auction organized by Jaeger-LeCoultre. In addition, a new version of the online component of the media campaign was launched in time for redesign and integration of the IHT and NYT internet sites. Jaeger-LeCoultre funding for the Programme will also enable the World Heritage Centre to carry out projects in support of Marine site preservation in 2010.

Best Tips For Getting Rid of Acne Your Top 10 Acne Tips Revealed by POPSUGAR Beauty 4/30/10 4 Reactions 9 Shares Print 2 6 1 0 0 Earlier, I asked you for your favorite ways to clear up acne and you delivered. So far, we've received nearly 60 comments, and in order to make it all a bit easier to digest, I've gathered together a few of my favorites, focusing in on the remedies you recommended most. From ice to benzoyl peroxide to taking the holistic approach, here are 10 of your top treatments. Start Keep Your Brushes Clean What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure it's a simple step, but it's one that often goes forgotten. Said reader Sykes, "If I go too long without washing my brushes, my skin goes completely out of control. It's so easy to overlook, and I used to panic. Now whenever I breakout . . . I wash my Bare Minerals brushes. Immediately." 1 / 10 Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes, it's a combo of acne-fighting products that turns out to be the the ideal solution. Reader myhousemd said she's had much success with salicylic acid treatments at night, and benzoyl peroxide during the day. 2 / 10 Cetaphil What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ultragentle Cetaphil is one of the top-selling facial cleansers around, and there's good reason why. "The best thing I ever did was nix any facial wash that targeted acne. It was too drying, which in turn, was causing my breakouts. Cetaphil ($6) is my new favorite," said miss leanne. (Reader smallbee seconded that motion.) 3 / 10 Take a Holistic Approach What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The majority of you said that taking the holistic approach is the way to go. "I wash my face with honey and moisturize with coconut oil," said anonymous reader Pixibell. "If I feel zit coming on I dab cinnamon on it. Once a week I exfoliate by adding baking soda or ground oatmeal to the honey and leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off." 4 / 10 Drink Water What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's time to reach for the old standby, H2O, which has been proven to increase blood flow to the skin. One anonymous reader also suggests to "put lemon wedges in your water every once in a while to clean your body of all the toxins." 6 / 10 Clarisonic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The always popular Clarisonic ($195) secured lots of recommendations, like this one from Laurasaprincess: "The Clarisonic brush has worked for me better than anything else! Just be sure to clean the brushhead often and replace as needed." Have you tried this gadget, too? 6 / 10 See a Dermatologist What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When it comes down to it, nothing beats a one-on-one visit with a doc. In fact, a recent tretinoin/antiobiotic treatment prescribed by my dermatologist really helped to clear up a major bout of jawline acne I was experiencing. Many of you agreed that heading to the derm is the way to go, as well, especially reader abs0lutelyfab who said, "See a dermatologist, especially if you have cystic acne. The time and money spent on hoping on an over-the-counter cure isn't worth it." 7 / 10 Ice Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're looking for a cheap fix, look no further than your fridge. "Whenever I feel a blemish starting to form I start putting ice compresses on it — ten seconds every few minutes a couple times a day." said Silent Vamp. "It helps keep the inflammation at bay and has ended countless zits before they happen," she added. 8 / 10 Stop Picking! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Perhaps one of the easiest ways to prevent pimples happening is just to simply stop fussing with your skin. Said an anonymous Bella reader, "The best thing I ever did was learn to stop picking. I know how hard this is, trust me. But all it ever did was make them worse and promote acne scarring." Has a hands-off approach worked for you, too? 9 / 10 Stop Stressing What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 And finally, many of you said to just try to quit all the stressing. "One thing I know that helps for me is to not fret over the breakout. Hard to do I know, but the less you stress over it the faster you can get over the breakout," said lemuse20. "It's like a vicious cycle — when you breakout you stress, the more you stress the more you breakout." I couldn't agree more, so please excuse me while I go meditate . . . 11 / 10 2 6 1 0 0 Read More Bella CommunityDermatologyBenzoyl PeroxideCommunitySkinAcneFacial CleanserCetaphilTipsSkin Care community Why Ballerina Misty Copeland Is Our Hero (and Should Be Yours) 4 hours ago We're Counting Down the Days to Spring With These Stylish Shots 1 day ago Lessons Learned From a CEO's Painful Email Meltdown 1 day ago 101 Ways to Save Money Around the House 2 days ago Is It Smug to Say Your Baby Was Born Naturally on the Birth Announcement? 2 days ago Beyond Your Paycheck: 5 Things to Negotiate at Work 3 days ago Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Alternatively i take one uncoated aspirin tablet, add 1-2 drops of water to it, just enough to make a thick paste, then apply directly to the zit. Leave on overnight and voila, zit should be gone by morning. 3 years well i like go to my dermatologist and get some gel. but i noticed when i don't wash before i gel, it get better? and when i wash before i gel it usually stays the same. and when i put the gel all over my face it really does not work at all. but actually when i put the gel just on the acne and not on my regular skin, it works perfectly.

Ethiopia is the oldest independent nations in Africa and the second most populated. Adequate food and water supplies are continually threatened by natural disasters and drought, which contribute to malnutrition and disease of many children. The national infant and under-5 mortality rates remain high. About 472,000 Ethiopian children die each year before their fifth birthday.
Since 1972, ChildFund has assisted more than one million people in this landlocked country where agriculture is the chief source of its economy. We work to protect children and their families against disease and malnutrition. We provide access to safe water and sanitation, basic education and early childhood development opportunities. We focus on child rights advocacy, food security and income generation empowerment.
"ChildFund was beside me by supporting all the necessary materials for my education."
"I will never forget the day I joined the project," a young mother relates. "I have received nutritional support for my children and training that helped me and my family to survive. Right now my twins, who turned 7 years old, are healthy and are learning in grade one. I am happy with all my family and our dark life has been changed to bright future with the help of ChildFund Ethiopia."
HIV/AIDS is a serious health issue in Ethiopia with about 1.32 million people living with HIV/AIDS. ChildFund trains community volunteers to go into homes and ensure that the daily needs of these individuals, including cooking, cleaning, bathing and taking medications, are met. Because of the home-based care workers individuals with AIDS face a chronic treatable illness rather than a death sentence.
Treatment is only one piece of the puzzle. We also work with children, youth, parents and community leaders to provide HIV/AIDS prevention and testing interventions as well as make available social networks to counter stigma and discrimination. Through our Strengthening Community Safety Nets program in Addis Ababa and Oromia areas, 50,000 orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS have received family-centered care and support. The program builds on existing partnerships with community groups and local volunteers to build the resilience of families and community structures to support children affected by HIV, especially those under 11.
The central statistical agency survey (2004) report shows that the primary school level dropout rate of the country is 12 percent. The dropout rate for most of the zones ranges between 10 percent and 20 percent.
ChildFund has made improvements to existing schools and built new facilities throughout areas of Ethiopia, as well as provided teaching training and student materials. As a result of our work, the primary school enrollment rate is up to 86 percent in the areas in which we work. Financial and tutoring services are provided to those in need.
More than 39,000 students have learned in 23 early childhood development centers, 31 preschools and kindergartens, 37 primary schools, two high school and 26 libraries and 61 additional classrooms built by ChildFund.
A former student shares her story: "My name is Seble Dejene. I am 22 years old. I was beneficiary in ChildFund since my childhood. Starting from grade one until I complete my college, ChildFund was beside me by supporting all the necessary materials for my education, including my cloth[es] and shoes. ChildFund helped me very much to do many things…. Now I am able to stand by myself though I departed from the organization. However, ChildFund's support and good work would stay painted in my heart."
Annually, ChildFund Ethiopia enables more than 14,000 children to have access to early childhood care and support. We focus on community and home-based approaches so that parents and caretakers are trained in ECD.
The smallest steps lead to the most stunning successes in Ethiopia. Sponsor a child in Ethiopia and make a difference in a child's life.
Many areas in Ethiopia face drought year after year. Droughts contribute to malnutrition because when the crops fail there is little to eat. To reverse this cycle – and combat malnutrition – ChildFund works with farmers by providing them with small-scale irrigation. Drought prone areas are revitalized with cisterns, retention dams, ponds and irrigation systems. We also provide training on modern agricultural production, including bee keeping and sheep and goat breeding. More than 13,500 farmers have been trained in agricultural techniques to improve production. More than 9,000 farmers have received seeds, oxen, cattle, goats, sheep and tools. Crop productivity has increased by 35 percent making it easier for families to provide proper and consistent nutrition to their children.
So that the people are not as dependent on agriculture, we help the people develop other income-generating activities to promote resilience within the community. In rural Ethiopia, we have helped establish nine multipurpose cooperatives and 45 Savings and Credit Associations to serve nearly 13,000 members. Now, community members have the power to start and manage their own livelihoods for long-term success. In urban areas, women and youth benefit from similar credit associations as well as vocational training. About 2,500 youth and parents have been trained in high-demand income-generating skills such as sewing, carpentry, masonry, catering and horticulture.

She's Santa's helper, an elf in business casual.
A keeper of the magic, working in a cubicle, not a North Pole cottage. Armed with a shiny silver letter opener and a pen, she helps children believe.
For 15 years, Kim Barham of the Omaha Post Office has been answering letters from children for Santa Claus. Notes start arriving in mid-November, scribbled in crayon by preschoolers or penned in cursive by 9-year-olds.
Barham reads every letter — all 1,000 of them — and writes a personal reply on behalf of the man in red.
She knows it's a big responsibility. She knows about Christmas dreams. She knows that the years children write to Santa are as fleeting as they are memorable.
"They took the time to write,'' she said. "I want them to know Santa really appreciates that and they are special in his eyes."
She usually works in customer relations, fielding complaints and tackling other duties. But for a couple months a year, she's Santa's executive assistant, and it's one of her favorite parts of the job.
She works north of Eppley Airfield in one-story postal building.
A postal employee for 28 years, she sits in a swivel chair and sips a Diet Pepsi as she slides the letter opener into envelopes and pulls out the notes. Some letters make her laugh out loud — like one this year from a boy who said if Santa can't bring a baby sister, he'd take an iPod.
Others make her throat tighten and tears well. Those are the hard ones, the letters asking for gloves for mom, soup for the cupboard or for parents to get back together. She forwards letters asking for food and clothing to local social service agencies.
Any letter addressed to Santa and mailed in the Omaha area lands on Barham's desk. It's amazing that some arrive at all.
Many Santa letters are mailed without stamps. Some kids place a flower sticker where the postage goes. Some draw the stamp.
They believe.
Barham figures many kids never tell parents they're writing Santa and drop the letter in the mailbox at home. Mail carriers keep an eye out for Santa letters and if they don't spot a return address, they jot it on the envelope so the child gets a reply.
Most envelopes are addressed simply "Santa, North Pole." Other addresses are more creative, like "Santa at 1 Reindeer Lane." One envelope was covered only with squiggly lines in orange marker but still arrived at Barham's desk.
Barb Kuehn, a friend and co-worker, said Barham's biggest goal is making sure all children receive a letter back from Santa. A few fellow employees help Barham answer letters, and she recruits a few extra to make sure kids get a reply, Kuehn said.
Kuehn said Barham takes extra steps to make sure kids feel special. When kids don't sign their note to Santa, Barham will address her letter back to "my dear precious child."
Kids write their Santa letters in crayon, marker, pencil and pen. Some are typed on computers. Color printers help kids give Santa photos of exactly what Barbie or Hot Wheel they want.
Children still ask for toy trucks, dolls and BB guns. But they also ask for laptops, iPhones and video games.
Barham, 51, grew up in the days when Easy-Bake Ovens were about as high tech as toys got. Her family lived in Omaha's Florence neighborhood and she attended St. Paul Lutheran School and graduated from North High.
When she was little, she loved playing teacher. She took lots of baby-sitting jobs in junior high, and when she was in eighth grade, she was picked at school to help kindergartners learn numbers and the alphabet.
She grew up with an older brother and a younger sister who was born on Christmas Eve.
Her family opened presents on that night each year, and her mom made chili. She and her brother and sister would set out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer, and only a few crumbs would remain.
Santa brought presents while the family was at church. She remembers sitting in the pew, wondering if Santa was in her house. Would he like the cookies? Would he bring the present she asked for — like the little table and chair for tea parties with her dolls?
After church, she'd rush into her house, head straight for the tree and the presents underneath.
She believed.
Even though she's Santa's helper, she's not a big fan of December weather. She loves escaping with her husband, Marty, to warm spots like South Padre Island, Texas, to find a sunny beach.
The holidays aren't the only time she wears red. She's a Husker football fan, and also roots for the NFL's Minnesota Vikings.
And she's passionate about her faith. She attends a weekly Bible study. One of her favorite Bible passages is the birth of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
Barham and her husband have two sons, Dayton, a 17-year-old junior at Millard North, and, Cooper, a 21-year-old college senior in Minneapolis.
Her sons have always opened their gifts on Christmas morning. When they were young, they sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus at a nativity in the living room. Barham sips cinnamon tea as her sons open gifts. Even though her boys are older, each of their presents still carries an important sticker: From Santa.
When they were young, her sons wrote to St. Nick. She answered them, having a little fun with the boys, who had no idea she was answering for Santa.
She told them to study hard in math or whatever subject they needed help with. She reminded them to do the chore they grumbled about, telling them they'd better get it done if they wanted gifts next year.
Santa has to have a sense of humor. Letters from kids give her plenty of smiles.
A few years ago, a boy listed 113 presents in his letter, which was so long he had to tape notebook paper together. Barham hung the list from her office ceiling and it stretched to the floor.
She doesn't blame kids for loading their lists with lots of gifts.
"If you're asking Santa," she said, "you might as well shoot for the moon."
She never promises specific gifts because parents can't always come through.
When letters arrive right before Christmas and time is running short, Barham sends kids one of a half-dozen versions of a typed letter, thanking them for their note. But she still writes a sentence or two at the bottom.
Barham tailors her messages. If a child mentions a sibling, Barham reminds the child to be nice to the brother or sister. If a child draws a picture, Barham writes that the art is hanging on Santa's fridge.
If children mention a military father or mother who's overseas, Barham writes that Mom or Dad loves them and thinks of them every single day.
Even though her letters to kids are personal, there's one part that never changes.
Holding a blue, fine-point pen, she signs each one the same: "Love, Santa."

For the second time in a week, a city EMT is under fire after being accused of posting racist and anti-Semitic comments on Twitter.
EMS Lieutenant Timothy Dluhos has been suspended without pay for 30 days.
The New York Post says he tweeted photos of an arsenal of weapons at his Staten Island home and also posted multiple racially tinged remarks, including ones aimed at Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who he called "King Heeb" and "King Jew."
Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano and other officials read about the tweets in a Post story, according to the report.
Cassano's own EMT son, Joseph Cassano, resigned last week after his Twitter account was called into question over racially charged comments.
Dluhos told the Post he was just venting stress from work.
The Vulcan Society, a group of black firefighters, called for Dluhos' resignation on Monday.
"We can't have people with these types of attitudes running into people's homes of New York City citizens. And it speaks to a larger issue as well and that is the institutional racism that exists within the fire department," said FDNY Captain Paul Washington.
Bloomberg said the FDNY was right to suspend Dluhos, but he refused to paint a broad stroke on the entire department.
"I don't know how you feel about people who have devoted their lives to public service, who are willing to rush into danger to save your life and your kids' lives, and to blast them and to insinuate that they are something that they're not, that they're racist or homophobic or whatever the case may be, I think it's just an outrage," the mayor said.
Regina Wilson, a female firefighter in Brooklyn, said she is worried the FDNY's public profile will suffer.
"When the public views the department as being racist and sexist it gives it a very bad light," Wilson said.
Dluhos has since deleted his Twitter and Facebook pages.

REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: A legal affairs check on District 3 Council race
Aug. 25, 2011
John O'Toole, a local realtor and a top candidate in the District 3 City Council race, is enmeshed in a civil lawsuit with a former partner of his, according to court records. But he isn't the only candidate who has been involved in legal actions in recent months and years: Two other top contenders, fellow realtor Craig Galvin and former city employee Frank Baker, have had a suit and an injunction, respectively, filed against them, according to a Reporter review of court records available to the public at Suffolk Superior Court.

City sets $76.6m in capital funds for Mattapan and Dorchester
Apr. 21, 2011
Playgrounds in Dorchester and Mattapan will be refurbished, a Mattapan community center will be renovated, and an Uphams Corner municipal building will see its roof and gutters replaced under a City Hall five-year capital spending plan released last week.
In total, Mayor Thomas Menino's capital budget for fiscal years 2012 through 2016 funnels $57.4 million to Dorchester and $19.2 million to Mattapan. The $1.7 billion capital budget, which has $169 million in new project authorizations in fiscal year 2012, is funded through a mix of city bonds, state and federal grants, and some trust funds.
Out of the 17 neighborhoods that the city's capital plan funding takes into account, Dorchester placed fourth in total spending, while Mattapan came in ninth. Roxbury is first, with $172 million, much of that due to the $115 million effort to move the Boston Public Schools offices into Dudley Square's Ferdinand Building. Read more

Snow emergency ends at 6 p.m. Monday
Dec. 26, 2010
The city of Boston says that the snow emergency that went into effect yesterday will be lifted at 6 p.m. on Monday. The emergency order means that parking is prohibited on all major arteries in Boston.
In a noon hour press conference on Sunday, Gov. Deval Patrick said that service on the Mattapan high-speed trolley line would be suspended tonight and replaced with buses. All other public transportation is expected to follow a normal schedule.
"Residents are reminded to remain at home throughout the duration of this snow event and businesses tomorrow should consider asking employees to work from home," stated a press release issued by the city of Boston on Sunday morning. The city also is cautioning older residents or those with "health conditions" to "refrain from shoveling this heavy wet snow." Read more
Census count confirms Mass. to lose House seat
Dec. 21, 2010
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, DEC. 21, 2010…. As widely predicted, Massachusetts will lose at least one of its 10 seats in Congress during the 2012 election cycle based on population counts collected during the 2010 Census, according to data released from the U.S. Census Bureau.
During a conference call with reporters, Census Bureau officials confirmed Tuesday morning that Massachusetts is among ten states to be losing at least one U.S. House seat. Read more
Spike in shootings prompts renewed quest for solutions
Dec. 16, 2010
The numbers are deeply disturbing: Nearly eighty percent of the shootings in Boston in 2010 have taken place in the three police districts that cover Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan.
Last year, 223 people were killed or wounded by gunfire in Boston, and 174, or 78 percent, of the shootings took place in districts B-2, B-3 and C-11. This year, with several weeks to go, the number of shootings in the city has increased to 258, and, again, 78 percent of them were in these three districts.
The Search for Solutions
BPD Commissioner Ed Davis: Extra pressure on gang members
Rev. Eugene Rivers: Pastor convenes stakeholders, stresses "realism"
George "Chip" Greenidge: Violent year spurs new calls for answers
Celeste Allan: Murder victim's mom finds community's embrace
Marivelle Crespo and Gina Patterson: BPD team aids families, heads off trouble
Tina Chery: Peace Pioneer seeks to improve coordination of services
Emmett Folgert: Veteran youth worker connects teens with jobs
These stark numbers only convey part of the story. The real story, those on the front lines of the battle tell the Dorchester Reporter, is the impact this violence is having on those who live and work in these neighborhoods – and whether they will assert strongly to families, friends, and acquaintances that they will not tolerate the continued presence of guns or further criminal activity in the homes and on the streets of their neighborhoods. And, too, there is the overarching question of the role of the rest of Boston in this enterprise: Will they join Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan – or abandon them – in taking on the challenge of saving the streets.

Charter school proponents look to expand in Dorchester, Mattapan
Dec. 8, 2010
Fourteen would-be charter schools have applied to the State Department of Education to be granted charters to start up new schools in Boston out of 23 across the state. Representatives from several of the applicant schools appeared before a panel of state education officials in Boston City Hall on Tuesday to press their case.
Though plans for the schools are still in the preliminary stages and locations for school facilities are not definite, some of the proponents for the proposals heard Tuesday vowed to serve underprivileged students from Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan. Read more

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, under the name of Dr. Seuss in 1937. Next came a string of best sellers, including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. His rhymes and characters are beloved by generations.
"If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack."
"I don't write for children, I write for people. Once a writer starts talking down to kids, he's lost. Kids can pick up on that kind of thing."
"I feel my greatest accomplishment was getting rid of Dick and Jane and encouraging students to approach reading as a pleasure, not a chore."
"I had no ability as a novelist. I spent all my time trying to get rid of extraneous words and boiling the thing down to the essentials. But a novelist's technique is putting those extraneous, nonessential things back in."
"Once in a while, I have to write something in an adult magazine. I get so frustrated; I wish I could get rid of all the garbage of excess words; I could draw what I want to say in a second."
"I'm honest enough with myself to know I wouldn't have written the Great American Novel, but I think I could have created some fine paintings."
"I don't like audiences. I prefer to make my mistakes in private."
"I enjoy making a statement, but I don't think one has to always do so to feel worthwhile."
"Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I'm doing, I always tell myself, 'You can do better than this.'"
"Let me think about it."
[When asked on his deathbed if he had any final thoughts]
"All of my books are based on truth, an exaggerated truth."
"You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room."
"In the interest of commerce, there's a happy ending. The other ending is unacceptable."
[On his book You're Only Old Once]
"I have a feeling if I could stay out of hospitals, I might live forever."
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try."
"You have 'em; I'll entertain 'em." (When asked about having children of his own.)
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
Early Life
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Theodor Robert Geisel, a successful brewmaster, and Henrietta Seuss Geisel. At age 18, Geisel left home to attend Dartmouth College, where he became the editor in chief of its humor magazine, Jack-O-Lantern. When Geisel and his friends were caught drinking in his dorm room one night, in violation of Prohibition law, he was kicked off the magazine staff, but continued to contribute to it using the pseudonym "Seuss."
After graduating from Dartmouth, Geisel attended Oxford University in England, with plans to eventually become a professor. While at Oxford, he met his future wife, Helen Palmer, whom he married in 1927. That same year, he dropped out of Oxford, and the couple moved back to the United States.
Early Career
Upon returning to America, Geisel decided to pursue cartooning full-time, and his articles and illustrations were published in numerous magazines, including LIFE and Vanity Fair. A cartoon that he published in the July 1927 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, his first using the pen name "Seuss," landed him a staff position at the New York weekly Judge. He then worked for Standard Oil in the advertising department, where he spent the next 15 years. His ad for Flit, a common insecticide, became nationally famous.
Around this time, Viking Press offered Geisel a contract to illustrate a children's collection called Boners. The book sold poorly, but it gave him a break into children's literature. Geisel's first book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, was rejected 27 times before it was finally published by Vanguard Press in 1937.
At the start of World War II, Geisel began contributing weekly political cartoons to the liberal publication PM Magazine. In 1942, too old for the World War II draft, Geisel served with Frank Capra's Signal Corps, making animated training films and drawing propaganda posters for the Treasury Department and the War Production Board.
Commercial Success
Following the war, Geisel and Helen purchased an old observation tower in La Jolla, California, where he would write for at least eight hours a day, taking breaks to tend his garden. He wrote and published several children's books in the coming years, including If I Ran the Zoo and Horton Hears a Who!
A major turning point in Geisel's career came when, in response to a 1954 LIFE magazine article that criticized children's reading levels, Houghton Mifflin and Random House asked him to write a children's primer using 220 vocabulary words.
