Every year, many of us celebrate Thanksgiving the same way: family, feasting and football. This year you might consider adding another tradition: giving blood! And with a new online health history questionnaire, United Blood Services donors can reduce the length of interviews on-site at a center or mobile drive to only essential follow-up questions. Donors can visit the United Blood Services website, access the interview and print out a barcoded Fast Track Donation Ticket that they must bring with them to their appointment.
"As we know, hospitals don't close for the holidays," said Steve Thomas at United Blood Services. The blood you donate now can save someone's life. Could there be a better gift to give?" Thomas adds, "Donating in November is a great way to start the holiday season and with the new online health history questionnaire, you can save lives and get back to eating those Thanksgiving leftovers in no time!"
United Blood Services encourages donors to give the online health history questionnaire a try for their next donation. There are some important guidelines to note, especially the fact that donors must complete the questionnaire the same day as their donation. Donors still have the option to have one of our staff members ask the health history questions, like we currently do. All donors have to do is simply request this option when they arrive to donate.
Instructions can be found online at www.UnitedBloodServices.org and by clicking the "Health History Questionnaire" link on the left. Answers cannot be saved, so donors must complete the 10-15 minute interview in one sitting. Donor data is stored only in the barcoded "Fast Track Donation Ticket" that a donor will print following the interview, so a login is not required. The online donor interview was developed by Calimex USA Corp., a software developer based in San Francisco.
People who are 16 and older, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in good health are eligible to donate blood. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 must have a signed permission from a parent or guardian.
United Blood Services has been this area's nonprofit community blood provider since 1956, and serves countless patients annually in 20 area hospitals. It is part of Blood Systems, one of the nation's oldest and largest nonprofit blood service organizations. Blood Systems is a founding member of America's Blood Centers and the AABB (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks).

The Burches have buried the hatchet, fresh faces are in place and finding their footing at Saint Laurent and Christian Dior and changes to the U.S. tax code helped push through a number of deals that had been lingering.
BDT Capital Partners and General Atlantic bought a stake in Tory Burch, Irving Place Capital invested in Rag & Bone, Fast Retailing Co. acquired J Brand, Gap Inc. scooped up Intermix, TJX Cos. Inc. took on Sierra Trading Post to ready its e-commerce business, Diesel chief Renzo Rosso took a majority stake in Marni and on and on.
And even though the pressure continues to bear down on J.C. Penney Co. Inc.'s Ron Johnson, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. Penney's has just about completed a year under its new layout. At the very least, year-ago comparisons will begin to get a lot easier.
It looks like there'll be a holiday hangover since so many chains cut prices to clear goods, but even that shouldn't be too bad. Retailers have gotten good at doing more with less since the recession and are generally working with leaner inventories.
So what to think about 2013?
All of the same stuff is going to be important. The Web will continue to take market share, outlets will continue to outperform, strong retailers will get stronger and young brands will pedal furiously as they dream of hitting it big like Michael Kors.
The problem with 2013 is that it might be a rerun of 2012 and just be kind of blah.
The economy really isn't moving ahead, and there are plenty of things -- budget talks in Washington, the recession in Europe, the slowdown in China -- that could trip it up.
Retail is about hope, though, and spring is right around the corner.
The last two years we've seen big bumps in spring sales. And the first quarter last year was a blowout for retail stocks, enough to basically keep the sector ahead for the rest of the year.
I wouldn't be surprised if that sales bump came again as the weather grows warmer. It looks like it was a pretty lousy Christmas, so people might want to live a little.
The question is, if a spring bounce comes this year, will consumers and retailers be able to hold onto the momentum, or will it peter away into another crisis somewhere in the world?

Flavorful Mac and Cheese Recipe
It's a snap to stir together this zesty macaroni and cheese dish, thanks to the Mexican-seasoned process cheese sauce. "If your family prefers a little less zip, use the original flavor for equally satisfying results," adds Sandy Buchanan of Lake Alfred, Florida.
- 1 package (7 ounces) elbow macaroni
- 1 jar (8 ounces) mild Mexican cheese sauce or process cheese sauce
- 1-1/2 cups chopped fully cooked ham
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Stir in the cheese sauce until combined. Add remaining ingredients. Transfer to a serving bowl; serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

" Forget Them Not" is a celebration of people who have left this world for the next. Along with photographs of artists, actors, family members, writers, dancers, celebrities, artisans, teachers and Smitty The Dog, there are short stories or bios about each person and when possible a sample of each person's art/writing or medium. This book of photographs captures each person in black & white and reminds us of our common connection, that each of us will leave this world when our time has come.
The purpose of this book is to not only celebrate those who've gone before but to remember to Forget Them Not.

By Marjorie Nesin
Staff Writer
---- — A 52-year-old Gloucester woman is back in jail after being arraigned Friday in Gloucester District Court, where an additional charge of vehicular homicide while drunkenly and negligently driving was leveled against her.
Rebecca Jacques of Western Avenue has been held at Framingham state prison since she was arrested in December after the pickup truck she was driving struck another vehicle on Essex Avenue. The collision killed Mary Lipman, a 52-year-old Ipswich woman who was a passenger in the other car.
Police added the charge against Jacques on Tuesday, after receiving a Dec. 19 crime lab report that indicated Jacques' blood alcohol level at the time of the crash measured at 0.22.
With the new charge, the judge Friday raised her bail to $50,000.
Jacques had been held on $25,000 cash bail at the Massachusetts Institution of Correction in Framingham since her Dec. 16 arrest after the crash. Jacques faces charges of negligent driving, driving with a suspended license and marked lane violations as well as the new charge of vehicular homicide.
A record of past convictions, including eight charges for driving with a revoked or suspended license, was used in determining Jacques' new bail. A 2004 charge against Jacques of driving with a suspended license, with a $500 fine attached, remains open in Salem District Court. Jacques had also faced two separate charges of possession of a class B controlled substance between 1990 and 2004.
Jacques wore a hunter green sweatshirt with "DOC" screen-printed on the back in court Friday. Sitting behind a glass box, she raised cuffed hands to wipe her eyes. Strands of her straight blonde hair hung down her back, the same hair found in the spider-cracked windshield of the truck Jacques was allegedly driving on the night of the crash.
Jacques suffered broken ribs, a cut lip and forehead abrasions in the collision that killed Lipman, according to a police booking report.
Police wrote Jacques' demeanor at the time of booking "ranged from happy to crying."
Jacques had been transported to Beverly Hospital for medical treatment after the crash and was arrested after her release from the hospital.
James Cowhig, the off-duty state trooper who was driving the Subaru with which Jacques' vehicle collided, was transported to Beverly Hospital, too, along with another passenger from his vehicle.
Lipman was transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital from which she was to be flown to another hospital. But Lipman was pronounced dead at the Gloucester hospital about 9:47 p.m., less than two hours after the collision.
Cowhig, Lipman and the second woman had visited an art studio on Mount Pleasant Avenue that December night, then ate dinner at Passports Restaurant and later bought pastries at Caffe Sicilia, both on Main Street. The three were headed west on Essex Avenue, Cowhig driving, Lipman in the passenger seat, and the second woman in the backseat on the driver's side of the vehicle, when they suddenly saw a set of headlights in their lane, heading toward them, according to the police report. In an attempt to avoid a head-on collision, Cowhig turned his vehicle to the left, pulling it into the wrong lane, but the pickup, driven by Jacques, still struck the passenger side of the Subaru then rolled onto its side, according to the report.
Jacques, a housekeeper, had a business relationship with the owner of the Ford Ranger truck she was driving during the crash, according to police reports. Police said the owner was unaware that Jacques' license was suspended and had allowed Jacques to use the truck for extended periods of time because she could not afford to buy a vehicle.
The case remains under investigation. Police could file more charges, pending the results of drug tests on blood samples taken from Jacques the night of the accident.
Jacques will return to court March 1 for a pretrial hearing, with Kathryn Cox as her court-appointed attorney.

The Making of Screenplay: Part 10
Jenny Wu, a partner at Oyler Wu Collaborative, documents the process from design through fabrication of their latest installation, Screenplay, to be featured at the upcoming Dwell on Design 2012. Part 10: The Final Stretch.
Good news or bad news first?
The good news is that the effect of the silver polypropylene rope looping around the steel frame is as beautiful and intense as we had imagined and, in some ways, even better than we had hoped. The "plane" of rope is becoming incredibly spatial and the steel framework is merging nicely with the rope. The bad news is that we are entirely off of our original schedule.
The original goal was to finish the installation two weeks before the actual opening on June 22nd at Dwell on Design. This past week we were able to finish one full module (meaning four bays). This is with five full-time staff working on it every day. Since there are five modules and a bench element, a simple calculation tells us that at the present rate, it would take until July to finish! Yikes!
Lastly, we are using shorter lengths of rope to do the pre-wrapping, mainly the leftover rope from the looping process. The shorter lengths make the bundle of rope that we have to loop around much more manageable, and it also makes for nearly zero waste.

ESPN Feature on QuidditchFans
It would seem some curious fellows from the world of Muggle sport have taken an interest in our own magical sport of Quidditch, as witnessed today by a new feature on ESPN.com. The article recaps information about the Intercollegiate Quidditch World Cup held last fall at Middlebury College, and marvels on the game that is now widely played on many college campuses (There won't be any flying -- damn gravity! -- but there will be broomsticks, held between the legs while running, bludgers ("I'll teach you to try to score!" Whack!) and even a snitch (only the flying golden ball is replaced by a fast guy or gal clad in gold with a tennis ball in a sock stuck in his or her waistband). ESPN also interviews several players from nd Uof W and from LSU as well as Alex Benepe who drew up a 39 page Intercollegiate Quidditch Rule and Guide Book.
"Benepe, 22, is from the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He was a varsity distance runner in high school, and during his freshman year at Middlebury he was on the crew team. "I didn't like the way that a major sport eats up your life at college without allowing much time for creativity," he says, explaining why he stopped doing crew, "so I got on board with developing Quidditch in order to combine creativity and sports."
"During the peak of the fall season, I was probably spending 30 hours per week making preparations for the World Cup," he wrote in an e-mail."We had to secure the use of a field, and spray down the markings using field paint," Benepe says later, by phone. "We had to rent bleachers from the college and arrange for band boxes, and get sound equipment. I arranged for catering, to give some free food to people. The Vermont Institute of Natural Science brought owls. I arranged for student bands to play between games."
Many of the teams had to overcome initial resistance from the Universities. Alicia Radford of UofW says of her teams involvement:
"It was tough. We thought we had a sponsorship deal, but that fell through," Radford says. "We hosted a benefit concert/party and sold Quidditch club T-shirts, which helped, but mostly we paid for it out of our own pockets. I ended up fronting a lot of the costs to get our seats on the planes reserved, and for the next month everyone paid me back." Kori Leporte from Louisianna State told ESPN:The school actually refused to give us any aid as far as funding the trip went," Lopreore writes in an e-mail, "possibly because the reputation of the club was so questionable at the time." "Even though the trip ended up being personally costly, every single player admitted it was well worth the investment," Lopreore says, "and now that we're the fourth-ranked team in the world, we're hoping to squeeze a little money out of the school for next year's Cup."
"I think Harry Potter gives it the initial hook, but the quality of game really gets people hooked because it's really fun to play," Benepe says. And though it took a lot of work to put the World Cup together, Benepe says, the benefit far outweighed the cost.
"Oh yeah, it was totally worth it," he says. "I definitely enjoyed it. I love Middlebury and my classes there, but doing something on your own that you dream up, all the way from brainstorming to seeing it actually happen, is a very rewarding feeling."

It's not like the Milwaukee Brewers turned into the Seattle Mariners just because they lost Prince Fielder. They still had some hitters. The Brewers, not the Mariners. God, not the Mariners.
But when Corey Hart went down with cartilage tears in his right knee early in spring training, suddenly the lineup looked pretty sketchy. Norichika Aoki and Carlos Gomez were going to battle for time in the outfield. Mat Gamel was going to hit fifth. Alex Gonzalez was probably going to hit sixth, and it really doesn't matter which one.
Now Hart's expected back ahead of schedule. From Tom Hadricourt:
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke announced this morning that rightfielder Corey Hart will open on the active roster after making a quick recovery from knee surgery early in spring training.
Suddenly Hart is back hitting fifth, and the lineup is a lot more palatable. Maybe it's just a mental thing, but the Brewers without Hart don't look like an especially fearsome group of hitters. Still expect to see a lot of Aoki, who is winding up the Cactus League on a tear, though, as the Brewers will likely want to take it a little slowly with Hart.

A little boy in Chandler has received an assistance dog that helps him monitor his type 1 diabetes. 7-year-old JJ Zupin was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes less than a year ago. Every snack he eats and every sport he plays can have a huge impact on this blood sugar levels."We probably do anywhere from 10 to 12 finger sticks a day and 6 to 8 insulin injections," said Allyson Zupin, JJ's mom. Nights in the Zupin house are far from restful.Mom Allyson and dad Joe wake up every two hours to check JJ's blood sugar. "If he goes too low, it causes nocturnal seizures and obviously we could lose him that way, or if he goes too high, he could slip into a coma," said Allyson Zupin. With such high stakes, the Zupin's are enlisting help from "Tank," a diabetic alert assistance dog in training. Tank has spent the past four months with Miracle Dogs trainer, Brett Suttle. Brett named the OH Shelter pup after watching him play with his sister."He would put his head down and he would push her kennel to get her out of the kennel and he was he was almost like a bulldozer," said Suttle. Or like a tank. When Brett heard Tank was going to a military family, he knew the Zupin's were the perfect match. At 6-months-old, Tank's already learning basic obedience and can identify JJ's unique scent."When his blood levels go high or go low, he actually gives off a different scent and we are able to get the dogs to imprint on that scent and be able to alert when he is not normal," said Suttle. Diabetic alert assistance dogs can actually smell the changes in blood chemistry that happen with a change in blood sugar. Tank's just starting his assistance dog training, but JJ already knows how Tank's going to help him. "If it's high, he's going to sniff and go to mom and dad and bark, and if it's low, then he's going to paw mom or dad. If it's just okay, he's just going to leave it alone," said JJ Zupin. JJ and his parents will teach tank the different alerts once Brett returns to OH.It's vitally important that Tank and JJ form a really close bond with each other so that Tank knows that JJ is his new handler. JJ will be doing everything from taking Tank on walks, to picking up after him, to even making him sit before he has his meals. The Zupin's will train and socialize tank for the next year and a half. After passing several tests, he'll be a fully reliable assistance dog. JJ says he can't wait till tank can sleep in his bed and go with him to school. "I love my dog a lot...love him so much," said JJ Zupin.

CATEGORIES Action, Foreign Language, Magnolia, Remakes and Sequels, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalWhile spending some time hawking his Arthur and the Invisibles at a left-coast press junket, French filmmaker Luc Besson dropped a few juicy hints about a sequel to District B13, the truly nifty action flick that earned a limited release from Magnolia Pictures this past June. Chock-full of what's known as "parkour" martial arts, District B13 is a short, slick and very fast-paced action movie that features some dazzling physical histrionics from co-leads Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle.
No firm word on when the second District will begin, but the frantic Frenchman (who co-wrote and co-produced the first flick), seems pretty confident that it'll be sooner than later: "B13 I want to do the sequel to, I love the two characters, and there's the room to do another one. I have the idea then I think we're going to make it."
According to ComingSoon.net, Besson (who recently semi-retired from directing) is also thinking about a third Transporter entry in addition to a vague project called Taken, which will star Liam Neeson.
And if you haven't seen District B13 yet, make sure to drop it in your queue. If you dig the action stuff, I bet you'll enjoy it.

Insurance IT Budgets to Remain Flat in 2013
Insurance & Technology research also finds more investment in customer-experience related technologies at insurance companies.
November 09, 2012
For the second year in a row, Insurance & Technology surveyed insurance executives about their IT budget plans for 2013 and presented the results at our 14th annual Executive Summit, which was held this year in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. Following are our findings.
Year-Over-Year Budgets
Insurance IT budgets are likely to stay flat this year, according to respondents, the same as last year. However, last year more insurers indicated that their budgets would be rising than this year. At the very least, with few saying budgets were going down, this shows that budgets are still trending upward.

Essex County Council spends £8million on consultants
11:30am Thursday 30th January 2014 in Echo News
CONSULTANTS cost County Hall more than £8.6million last year, new figures show.
Spending included a £1.5million fee to PricewaterhouseCoopers as part of the authority's money saving Customer Transformation Programme.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed the amount spent in the 2012/3 financial year. County Hall has also already spent £2.5million up until the end of November in this financial year, including £184,000 to Ricardo AEA for work on biowaste.
The council also spent £33.9million on agency staff last year and has clocked up £18.5million until the end of November.
In a statement, the county council said: "The use of consultants can be a cost effective way of accessing professional expertise in relation to short-term or oneoff pieces of work, where there is no or inadequate in-house capacity or capability.
"For example, consultants have been used on a number of the council's ambitious transformation projects to enable the council to concentrate spending on frontline services.
"Essex County Council has a continual drive to reduce costs in this area to improve value for money.
"As part of the council's transformation programme the council works in partnership with Capita for the recruitment of staff, including agency or interim staff, with the exception of jobs within the school's service."
But Jamie Huntman, Ukip group leader at County Hall, said: "I don't understand why there is a need for so many consultants.
"I have never once hired one in my business and I think it is an extravagance we can ill afford in these austere times.
"It seems an awful lot of money when the administration is asking the taxpayers of Essex to cough up more money in council tax next year.
"The officers at County Hall seem capable and skilled in their areas of expertise, so why is it we need to create another tier of expenses?"

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

A federal judge in Charleston ruled this week that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does not have to consider scientific studies linking mountaintop removal to public health problems when the agency approves new Clean Water Act permits for mining operations.
U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr. on Monday turned down an effort by the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and other groups to force the corps to consider potential adverse human health effects as part of the review of applications for "dredge-and-fill" permits from strip-mining operators.
The case concerned a permit application from Raven Crest Contracting for its proposed Boone North No. 5 Surface Mine, a 725-acre site in Boone County, near the communities of Peytona and Racine.
Citizen groups had urged the corps to look closely at four specific studies that examined that increased risks of adverse health effects experienced by residents who live near mountaintop removal mining operations.

Earlier this month the Tiltfactor team headed down to New York to play new game prototypes and our classic hits with high school students on Staten Island. Professor Flanagan gave students insight into the process of designing games, and then they got a chance to try them out! As you can see below, the testers loved Awkward Moment (as always).
The students also enjoyed Microbes, a fast and furious card game designed to encourage players to wash their hands. They shared their thoughts about the game, which will help our design team improve the game play experience and our researchers make the game as effective as possible!
But we didn't just bring card games – players also had a chance to check out an upcoming computer game called Flagella! In Flagella, players race to accurately divide adorable micro-organisms into specific-sized parts in order to help the organisms multiply. Armed with in-depth feedback from the players and pages of observation notes, our team is ready to add features to the game in order to bring the user experience from good to GREAT!
Tiltfactor would like to thank Kristana Textor for making this session happen.

Audio Poetry Archives and Anthologies
Caught in the Act: The Making of a Live Poetry + Music CD
Whitman McGowan recounts his experience producing a live poetry performance CD, from its genesis in the dream of a European performance tour through collecting recordings and permissions to designing the CD package, selecting & mastering the audio tracks, and enduring the glitches in the actual CD manufacturing process.
How to Make a CD: A Poet's Perspective, Part I
Bob Holman's notes on the genesis of his first CD: "First, make up poems for twenty-odd years... look on CD, like book, as a vehicle for Poem's Wild Ride... How finished the book feels! unlike the ever-ongoingness of the poems. With a CD it's different... Mind dances, under the headphones, to poetry on CD."

PHOTO CALL: Newsies Celebrates One Year Anniversary on Broadway
By Matthew Blank
The Tony Award-winning hit Broadway musical Newsies celebrates its one-year anniversary on Broadway March 29 at the Nederlander Theatre. Cast members celebrated on the stage of the Nederlander Theatre the afternoon of March 28.
Disney Theatrical Productions originally developed Newsies, based on the film of the same name, for licensing in response to requests from professional and amateur theatre groups, and Paper Mill Playhouse hosted its four-week pilot production in summer 2011. Audience response to that production prompted a transfer to Broadway for a limited run. Following strong ticket demand and numerous awards, the musical is now playing an open-ended run.
In December 2012 Newsies became the Disney production to turn a profit fastest, doing so in just 41 weeks.
Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score with music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, with a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, the musical is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won a 2012 Tony Award for his work.
The Broadway company features Corey Cott as Jack Kelly, John Dossett as Joseph Pulitzer, Kara Lindsay as Katherine Plumber, Lavon Fisher-Wilson as Medda Larkin, Ben Fankhauser as Davey, Andy Richardson as Crutchie, and Joshua Colley and Nicholas Lampiasi alternating the role of Les.
"Set in New York City at the turn of the century," Newsies, according to press notes, is the "rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what's right."
On April 1 "Good Morning America" will join the celebration with a special performance of "Carrying The Banner" that will take the "newsies" from the streets of the Nederlander Theatre to a takeover of GMA's Times Square Studios.

Deepening a sense of place

This is also a wonderful place to go star gazing. It is often higher than the cloud cover which gives it a bonus and far enough away from city lights for light pollution not to be a problem. It is quiet enough that you can go there with a large group and not need to worry about making noise to disturb neighbors. Be careful though as it is easy to wonder into the road without realising and the occasional traffic can appear suddenly.
Even a small telescope is worth taking there. It is a great place to look at stars and when the moon is in its final quarter, it is good to look at as you can see the craters and also the shadow moving across the surface.

So where is the windmill?
Put one up there and wire it direct to the council chambers as the sole source of power.
on Jun 19, 2007 at 7:24 pm
This sounds like an ideal place to put up windmills to produce non polluting power. We enviromentalist must get organized so that can happen. It may take state action to require wind power where feasible. It's govermant owned land and probably isolated from neighbors in many areas. In fact the whole skyline could be lined with windmills as this is one of the most non polluting power source.
I would expect no opposition from true envirmentalista!

CATEGORIES MoviesThe nominees for the 84th annual Academy Awards won't be announced until Tuesday morning, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start looking ahead to next year's nominations. Judging from the buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, the 85th annual Academy Awards ceremony might be a special one for Richard Gere; the veteran actor could be in the heat of the Best Actor race thanks to his performance in "Arbitrage."
Caveats for it being entirely and comically too early to consider anyone for an Oscar next year, but consider: the Nicholas Jarecki-directed financial thriller earned rave reviews following its premiere in Park City, Utah on Saturday night, with at least one well-respected critic ringing the Academy bell for the never-nominated Gere.
"As Park City was blanketed by the biggest snowstorm that Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper says he's seen, the bona-fide first Oscar contender for the 2013 awards emerged Saturday night," wrote Lou Lumenick from the New York Post. "Richard Gere gives the best performance of his career as a crooked financier desperately trying to cover up a $400 million shortage on his books while trying to push through a deal to sell his company."
Jarecki, half-brother of documentary filmmakers Andrew and Eugene Jarecki, based his film loosely on Bernie Madoff.
"I thought, 'What's it like to be one of those major players? Where does he live? He must live in a big house, and he has to have a lot of money, so he must have a lot of problems," he said. "That was how the script began."
Co-starring Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth and Sundance It-Girl ver. 2011 Brit Marling, "Arbitrage" has drawn comparisons to "Margin Call" and could get a distribution deal in the very near future.
