Global Agenda Council on the United States 2012-2014
The challenge
In the second half of the 20th century, the United States and its allies sought to uphold global order, provide strategic leadership and military strength, and underwrite stability through assistance for reconstruction and development. With mixed results, the US has shouldered the bulk of responsibility for maintaining order and a stable balance of power in the world. Meanwhile, the beginning of the 21st century has been dynamic and, in many ways, challenging for the United States. The US remains the world's foremost military power, yet a shift appears to be taking place in geopolitical terms, especially as the country confronts the threat of terrorism. The situation is further compounded by a shift in the economic centre of gravity from developed to developing nations. At the same time, the US has experienced its deepest recession in 70 years and, although measures were in place to force the hand of legislators, the medium-term outlook remains uncertain.
What the Council is doing about it
During the past year, the Global Agenda Council on the United States has discussed the role of the US in the world and how it should position itself in the future. The Council's basic premise characterizes the US as being in a situation of flux. Prevailing public opinion and budget constraints inside the country create the perception by some of a nation that is retreating from the international stage. This perception is all the more intriguing as it occurs during a time many world leaders would welcome an enlightened US foreign policy that is engaged and active on a variety of fronts.
"The US remains the world's foremost military power, yet a shift appears to be taking place in geopolitical terms, especially as the country confronts the threat of terrorism"
The perspectives captured from Forum stakeholders around the globe, collected on the margins of its meetings and activities, offer a unique data set from which to draw certain conclusions. The confusion surrounding US intentions with respect to Syria, rising questions on the National Security Agency's data and security practices, and the seemingly blasé attitude that so many political leaders held towards a government shutdown and default have left many to question the role of the US in a global context. As a result, the Council found itself increasingly using the term "dual ambivalence", to reflect how many inside the United States are approaching engagement with the outside world while the rest of the world feels equally split in terms of its view of the United States.

Mesa police are asking for the public's help to find two suspects accused of stealing groceries from a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market.
Authorities say on August 26, the two men entered the store near Baseline and Lindsay Roads just before 7 p.m. They selected a shopping cart full of groceries, took them to the self-checkout and left the store after scanning only a few items.
Suspect #1 is described as a white male, 50 to 60 years old, 6' to 6' 2" tall, 230 to 250 pounds with short white hair. He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, black t-shirt with "Airborne" in yellow writing and black sweat pants.
Suspect #2 is also described as a white male, 60 years of age or older, 5' 7" to 5' 10" tall, 160 to 170 pounds with short gray hair. He was wearing a green and white striped polo shirt and jean shorts.
Police say the suspects may be driving a mid to late 1980s model GMC Jimmy or Chevrolet Blazer sport utility vehicle.
If you have any information about this case, contact the Mesa police at (480) 644-2211. You can submit a tip on CrimeReports.com or "text-a-tip" to 274-637 (CRIMES). Begin your text message with MESAPD and refer to report numbers 20122430281.

There's no Nokia Android phones, not even one.
I however, can't tell if Nokia will release an Android phone but that seems very unlikely to happen.

Hi Magamaruva,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum!
Nokia supports S40, S60, Symbian and Windows as an operating system. Android is not supported.
We do have several Dual SIM devices available such as the Asha 202 and Asha 305, please have a look at your local Nokia web page to see which Dual SIM devices are sold in your country.
Hope this clears things up.
04-07-2012 12:59
04-07-2012 13:05
Have a look here for all available applications for the Asha 305. Don't forget to set your device in the left top corner first.
04-07-2012 14:36
what is its' os? is it Symbia S60 or S40?
04-07-2012 14:42
The Asha 305 runs on Symbian S40.
04-07-2012 14:45
is it better than s60?
04-07-2012 14:53
Have a look at the difference here ...
04-07-2012 15:00
yeah i got it. does it has a touch pen? or is it working only for finger touch?
04-07-2012 15:10
Does Nokia Asha 503 has a touch pen or it only work for finger touch?
04-07-2012 15:15
Hi Magamaruva,
For any further detailed information, please contact your local Care line instead. You can also have a look at the Asha 305 specifications page.
04-07-2012 15:18
04-07-2012 16:43
04-07-2012 23:00
I have to clarify that the Asha 305 uses Series 40 platform (which is based on Nokia OS, and has nothing to do with Symbian). And the device is capable of running Java (J2ME) applications and Series 40 Web Apps.
You can also refer to this page for details extra details, in addition to the Nokia.com specs page that was mentioned earlier.
23-08-2012 4:55
It works with stylus other than finger touch though Nokia do not provide a touch pen / stylus. Touch screen works faster & better compared to Nokia 5800 as per my experience.
30-09-2012 21:49

I'm quite new to S40 development and I already got so many questions even before starting my first project!
Is it possible to play streams (which are not necessarily rtsp, could be http) using the native media player ?
If so, is it possible to embed the native media player in an S40 web app ?
If not, what is the best way to play streams inside an S40 web app?
I've already searched the documentation and the discussion boards and couldn't find a satisfying answer.
Thanks in advance!

This hand painted wooden tray captures the lovely essence of mandalas- the intricate sand paintings which are famously made and immediately destroyed by monks to represent the impermanence of all things in life. The appealing mandala design shown here is further embellished with traditional Kundan stone beads, reflecting the traditional beauty of Indian art. Angular edges with cutout handles, measures 15 x 12 x 2 inches.Handmade in India: no two items are created alike and minor variation in size, color and finish will be apparent between each piece. Some imperfections such as missing beads may be apparent, adding to the artistic identity of each unique item.

After enduring 18 seasons of The Bachelor and 10 seasons of The Bachelorette, it takes a lot to surprise host Chris Harrison. But in its inaugural run of Bachelor in Paradise, Harrison says there is one coupling that has him stunned.
Spider-Man is getting an upgrade. In the third season his animated Disney XD series, the popular webslinger gets a promotion to the Avengers, and makes some new friends (and enemies) along the way. The new season — premiering Sunday, Aug. 31 at 9 a.m./8c — also comes with a very Marvel-ous mouthful of new title: Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors.
That's all folks! The final episode of The Looney Tunes Show is going to be super. Cartoon Network's Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck comedy signs off Sunday with a Superman-themed adventure.

The NBC sitcom Welcome to Sweden couldn't get much more personal for Greg Poehler.

Then there's Poehler's sister, Amy, who serves as an executive producer and appears in multiple episodes.

Cabbage is the king of the brassica family of vegetables, which is no mean feat when you consider that brassicas count broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and other health heavyweights among their number.
Cabbage got its reputation as a cancer fighter when researchers found that Eastern European women, who consumed a ton of the stuff, had lower rates of breast cancer than average. Further investigation led to the identification of chemicals in cabbage called indoles, which are believed to be responsible for the anti-cancer activity.
Here, Chef Jeannette pairs lean apple sausage with red cabbage, one of the tastiest varieties. The cabbage and onions add a healthy dose of antioxidants and cancer-fighting indoles. And you'll be surprised at how good it tastes when stir-fried in my favorite cooking oil—coconut oil.
Quick Apple Sausage and Red Cabbage
Serves 4
This dish has all the flavors of heavier German fare, but it's light on the calories—especially when compared to bratwurst and sauerkraut.
1 Tbs. coconut oil (we like Barlean's Extra-Virgin Organic Coconut Oil)
4 3-oz. links chicken apple sausage (we like Applegate Farms Organic Chicken and Apple Sausage)
1 small red onion, sliced
1 lb. shredded red cabbage (4 cups)
1 green apple, unpeeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup pure apple cider
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs. Sucanat or brown sugar
2 Tbs. red wine
1/4 tsp. salt
½ tsp. fresh ground pepper
PER SERVING: 285 cal; 15g pro; 15g total fat (7g sat fat); 26g carb; 95mg chol; 853mg sod; 5g fiber; 18g sugars
Notes From Chef Jeannette
Though using pre-sliced cabbage is a time-saver, I prefer freshly cut for maximum flavor and nutrient-impact. To prepare it yourself, quarter and core a 1½-lb. head of red cabbage, and feed three of the quarters through a food processor using the slicer attachment. Or slice thinly (widthwise) by hand.
If you'd like to finish this meal with a healthy starch, scrub, lightly oil, and bake 4 small garnet yams for one hour on a foil-covered pan (to catch any escaping yam syrup) in a 400°F oven. They're great served with small pats of pastured butter or a few drops of apple cider vinegar for fewer calories.

Swing Set: Cruising Full Time
Harbour View Marina is Not a Bad Place to Wait
(page 2 of 2)
He agreed with me as to how repairing the solenoid could be possible, but an attempt wouldn't be prudent unless we had a new solenoid in hand. The repaired unit could be kept as a backup. Good plan, if I should say so myself.
I told him that if he could coordinate ordering the solenoid with the Marsh Harbour Boatyard, I'd agree to employ him in the task of installing it. He agreed, and called the Boatyard and told them to have the information ready for Victor, the parts manager, first thing in the morning.
Andrew then presented me with a bill for $85, having told me exactly what I knew in the first place, but I couldn't have sat all day doing nothing to resolve our issue, so I paid him without complaint. I considered charging him for using my voltmeter, plus my expertise in knowing how to start the generator, but I decided against it. Andrew said he would call me on Tuesday morning with an update.
On Monday afternoon, Rosie and I spent some time at the little pool at the marina. We met some nice folks and wound up having a very nice afternoon. After a good dinner on the boat, we watched some network TV for the first time in months.
On Tuesday morning, I sent Victor an email, outlining our issue and getting him on track. I told him I'd call once he got settled into his workday, not entirely trusting Andrew to be on top of things.
After 10 o'clock I called Victor and asked if he'd gotten my email. He had, and he had also sent me a reply. I was at the marina office making my call, so I asked Victor to tell me what his email said. Basically, his email said that he wouldn't be ordering the part because they were not a Westerbeke dealer. Now I knew why I needed to speak only with Dennis about ordering the part, but that tactic wasn't going to work at this point.
Victor had some detailed instructions as to how to go about ordering the part and getting it to Marsh Harbour without paying duty, upwards of 45 percent of the price of the part. His best information he gave me was who to call in Palm Beach for ordering the part, so I did that first.
I called JAS Marine in West Palm. They have a store in Fort Lauderdale, too. Lisa, in parts, told me she would call be back when she learned about the availability of the part, because the part number I supplied was not recognized by her parts list. I know these things happen when equipment is old, and our generator is 17 years old, so I wasn't worried.
While I was waiting at the phone in the marina office, another boater nearby told me how to order the part without paying duty. The woman in the marina office concurred, saying what I should do is have the part sent via FedEx and have the invoice and a copy of our cruising permit attached to the outside of the package. Also, it was very important that we have our boat name included in the address line, such as M/V Swing Set. This was good information.
After waiting a reasonable amount of time, I called Lisa back. She still hadn't located the part but was sure she could. I told her that if I could have a primary fuel filter sent along with the solenoid, that she could go ahead and do that. I supplied her with the shipping information, my credit card information and told her that I'd fax a copy of our cruising permit right away. I told her I'd also send her an email and that she should send me an email confirmation once she found something out. My day was getting better. Back at the boat, I sent Lisa another copy of our cruising permit, plus a photo of the solenoid we needed, so there would be less confusion. I would say "no confusion," but there's always "some confusion."
The day was overcast, so Rosie and I went for a walk to find another chart we needed for Eleuthera and to pick up some groceries at Maxwell's, a very nice, modern grocery store here in Marsh Harbour. Maxwell's is big and well stocked. Some of the prices were unbelievably high, but others weren't too bad. We filled three bags of supplies and planned to go back later in the week. We wound up walking back to the boat in the rain. Rosie hates walking in the rain, but it was interesting to see just how fast she can walk when she has to do it.
By 4 p.m., I hadn't gotten a reply from the email I'd sent Lisa, so I called JAS Marine. Lisa was busy, so I talked to Mindy. Mindy couldn't understand why Lisa hadn't gotten my email, so I sent her one, and she got that one and forwarded everything to Lisa. Mindy then went to speak to Lisa in person while I was nervously on hold on the phone. Mindy said Lisa was still working on it. My outlook darkened.
A half hour later, Lisa sent an email. She located the part and would have it in hand by Wednesday, the next day. She would then send it to me along with the fuel filter and provide me with a tracking number. Yahoooooo! A celebratory Budweiser was in order!
This morning, it has been raining. It's due to rain the rest of the week. Quite a few boats have arrived here at the marina, which is a very nice establishment. We could've found ourselves waiting in a worse place.
Meanwhile, we'll wait to get our tracking number for our package. I hope the right part comes and it's here by the weekend. I haven't heard from Andrew, and I don't expect to. If the right part is sent, I'll put it on myself, and we'll be in business. If there is still a problem...well, there won't be. But if there is one, I'll do what it takes to make it right.
I'll keep you all in the loop.

Just how the dock float — 165 tons of concrete and steel measuring 66 feet long, 19 feet wide and 7 feet high — happened to turn up on Agate Beach a mile north of Newport, Ore., was probably determined within sight of land in Japan, said Jan Hafner, a computer programmer in the University of Hawaii's International Pacific Research Center, which is tracking the 1.5 million tons of tsunami debris estimated to still be floating across the Pacific.
That's where the winds, currents and tides are most variable, due to changes in the coastline and the features of the land, even for two objects a few yards apart, he said. Once the dock float got into the ocean, it was pushed steadily by the prevailing westerly winds, and the North Pacific Current.

Wisconsin 4th and 8th graders scored above national averages in math and reading in the 2005 National Assessment of Educational Progress survey of student achievement released Wednesday (October 19, 2005).
Fourth graders earned an average score of 241 in math, compared to the national average of 237 – an improvement from 2003 when Wisconsin's average score was 237. Eighth graders scored 285 in math – the same as 2003 – compared to the national average of 278.
In reading, 4th graders scored 221, compared to 217 for the national average. Eighth graders scored 266, compared to 260 nationally. Both grades' scores for reading were the same in 2003.
The NAEP is a small sampling assessment, popularly called "the nation's report card," designed to provide a snapshot of student achievement. The assessment is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, which was reauthorized in 2002 as the so-called "No Child Left Behind" act, which requires national and state NAEP assessments at least every two years in reading and mathematics, at grades 4 and 8.
State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster said the results are "solid," but she is concerned about the state's high poverty rate.
"In the past two year, Wisconsin had the highest growth rate in poverty of all 50 states," Burmaster said. "Our schools are experiencing the highest levels of poverty in more than a decade, with 14% of Wisconsin's children coming from economically disadvantaged families. We know poverty is a challenge to student achievement."
The survey also shows a racial achievement gap. The state's Asian, Pacific Islander, African American and Hispanic students trailed white students' scores in both reading and math.
The Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association and the National Education Association are helping bridge the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged and minority students in Milwaukee with an NEA grant worth up to $2.5 million.
The NEA grant, announced in September, comes with an expectation that the gaps will be reduced each year as a result of improved teacher and staff training, better planning and more materials. It provides $500,000 per year for up to five years to a union-district partnership.

While the media focused on the massacre of the conservative Fianna Fail Party in the recent Irish elections, the real story may be the earthquake on the Left, particularly the success of the new kids on the block, the United Left Alliance (ULA).
In terms of total seats, the big winners in the Feb. 26 vote were the conservative Fine Gael Party that went from 51 to 76 seats, and the Labor party that jumped from 20 to 37 seats. But Sinn Fein more than doubled its seats in the Irish parliament, or Dial, from 6 to 15, and the ULA picked up five seats. For the first time in Irish history, the Left-Labor, Sinn Fein and the ULA-hold a majority of the seats in the country's largest city, Dublin.
The backdrop for the election was the catastrophic collapse of the Irish housing market, and the subsequent cratering of the economy. Ireland went from "Celtic Tiger" to a European basket case and a jobless rate of 13 percent. Fianna Fail's policies of privatization, dismantling economic checks and balances, and encouraging on-the-margins speculation were largely responsible for the economic implosion, and the voters punished them for it. The party that had dominated Irish politics for more than 80 years went from 77 to 19 seats, the worst defeat in its history.
Most observers expect Fine Gael and Labor to form a coalition that would give them a working majority in the 166-seat Dial, although it may not be a comfortable alliance. Fine Gael's politics are not all that different than Fianna Fail, although Fine Gael's leader and presumably new Prime Minister, Enda Kenny, has pledged to try and renegotiate the terms of the $117 billion International Monetary Fund/European Bank (IMF/EB) bailout. The bailouts requires Ireland to cut more than $20 billion from its budget over the next four years, raise taxes on working people, cut social services, and accept a usurious interest rate of 5.8 percent.
The Labor Party has made noises about forcing some of bank bondholders who profited from the speculation binge to pay some of the costs, although European banks are deeply opposed to that. Much will depend on what Kenny can get German Chancellor Angela Merkel to agree to, which most likely means a cut in the interest rate. Even the conservative Irish Business and Employers Confederation are pressing to cut the interest rate.
But pushing the interest rates down is hardly a challenge to the premise behind the bailout: that Ireland's working people should pay for the speculation binge, an orgy of profit making that they did not partake in.
However, a solid block on the Left could push the debate in the direction of reevaluating that premise, and maybe move Labor in a more left direction. There are some 15 other "independent" voters that might also be lured into a coalition to challenge the bailout, although the ideological range among those independents leans more toward the center- right.
Sinn Fein says it opposes the current bailout, and cuts in social services, but hedges its bets when it talks about who its potential allies might be. The party is socialist in orientation and is closely associated with the Provisional Irish Republican Army. It can take a good deal of credit for bringing peace to Northern Ireland, and those laurels certainly helped it in the Feb. 25 election. But the Irish Republican News of Feb. 26 reports, "Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has left open the possibility of supporting a minority Fine Gael government."
If Labor goes into a government with Fine Gael, the resulting coalition would have over 100 votes in the Dial, which is hardly a "minority" government. The remark, then, suggests that Adams is launching a trial balloon: a Fine Gael/ Sinn Fein coalition that would hold a narrow majority in the Dial.
Such an alliance would not sit well with the ULA, whose program explicitly rules out "any coalition with right wing parties.particularly Fianna Fail and Fine Gael." Indeed, the ULA says, "We aim to provide a real alternative to the establishment parties as well as Labor and Sinn Fein." The three parties in the ULA coalition that put deputies in the Dial are the People Before Profit Alliance, the Socialist Party, and the Workers & Unemployed Action Group.
Newly elected UAL Dial member Joe Higgins, a member of the Socialist Party, said that the coalition's block "will work as a coherent, principled opposition," adding, "there is a need for a new party on the left for working people." The UAL is not a party yet, but according to Higgins the coalition is discussing how to make that come about.
The ULA has a six-point program that includes:
· Dumping the IMF/EB deal and ending "the bailout of the banks and developers."
· A progressive tax system that "taxes the greedy not the needy."
· A social development program to build up the country's infrastructure and create "hundreds of thousands of jobs."
· Reversing the cuts to social services and the privatization of health care.
· Ending discrimination bases on gender, race, nationality, age, disability or sexual orientation. The coalition supports gay marriage.
· Protecting the environment.
The ULA also says it wants to form a network of similarly minded parties across Europe, "to fight the attacks on workers, the unemployed and the poor and to fight for a new vision of society."
Ireland faces rough sledding in the months ahead, though it will hardly be alone. Portugal's economy is almost as bad, and the IMF and the European Bank is starting to draw up a similar set of draconian bailout policies for Lisbon. If the Irish can come up with a strategy to resist shifting the financial crisis onto the backs of those least able to pay for it, that might be a blueprint for other countries ravaged by debt and economic malaise.
The elections made it clear that the Irish want a change, and the Left has an opportunity to develop "a new vision of society." Now that would get Irish eyes to smile.

It has become the stuff of parody in such a short time: There they are, the two starkly lit figures facing each other across their computer screens, caged in by darkness. The music sounds almost subliminally ominous notes as the contestant stares at his screen and decides whether to risk thousands of dollars. Should he (or, occasionally, she) use a "lifeline," either by polling the audience or calling a friend at home? When the moment finally arrives, the host, clad in somber colors, intones the catchphrase: "Is that your final answer?" Usually, for better or worse, it is. And if the news is good, then comes the release--the music breathes a sigh of relief, the camera pulls back, and the lights go up, revealing the audience.
The game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was a phenomenon in its native England, and it's equally so in the United States, where the American version, hosted by Regis Philbin, premiered in August 1999 on ABC. The show's ratings during the November and February sweeps periods were Must-See-TV-challenging, even though only two contestants have actually made it to the million-dollar mark (in the UK, it has yet to happen). The other major networks have all come up with their own big-stakes game shows in response, but Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, for the moment, reigns supreme.
Lighting designer Deke Hazirjian, president of New York City Lites, believes that the show's visual style plays no small part in this. "I think it has mainstreamed that automated techno look," says Hazirjian. "Preprogrammed moving lights have obviously been around in television, but I think it's finally hit home. There's a pattern, a synchronicity with the music and camera moves that creates excitement. Not only has 'Is that your final answer?' become part of the national lexicon, I think the look has, too."
At least part of that look is copied directly from the British original. Like its counterpart, for example, the American show uses a 30' Technocrane, and relies on a complement of Vari*Lite(R) automated fixtures for its active modal shifts. But Hazirjian embellished the show in dramatic ways. "In the beginning, Michael Davies handed us the tape of the show they were shooting in England," says the LD of Millionaire's British producer, "and he said, 'that's the show I want.' We--the director, Mark Gentile, art director David Weller, and I--looked at it, and it was certainly an interesting show. But all of us felt that there were production values that could be improved. Yet we couldn't make changes until we delivered what he handed to us."
Luckily, the show's initial incarnation at New York's Sony Studios required two weeks of rehearsal, during which the LD worked closely with programmer David Arch (manning a Flying Pig Systems Wholehog II) and video operator Yogi Commars. "It was truly a theatrical tech rehearsal, which I have never done before on a TV show," says Hazirjian, winner of an Emmy for his work on Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? "This was so complicated, between all the cueing and the computerization of the game, and the fact that it really had to be problem-free in order for the game to work and the contestants to be fairly dealt with. So we had a few-day window." Hazirjian studied the British tape to determine how its effects were achieved. "They sent us a plot, but it was really skeletal," he says. "And there were things on it, like 5k fresnels used as keys, that I hung, but that I didn't really want to use. So I hung their stuff, then I hung my stuff around it. In case there was a problem, I had a backup.
"As soon as we gave Michael Davies what he wanted, he said, 'Great, this is how it was,' " Hazirjian continues. "Then we started making changes. During rehearsal, we would redo something and show him, and ask what he thought. And he said, 'Oh, yeah, I like that better.' "
The LD says there were two main ways in which he departed from the English lighting template. "We have more varieties of Vari*Lite moves and descends," he says. "They always have the same move, it just comes down. We added programmed moves with our VL5s(TM) and VL6Bs(TM). And, we have a lot more color. They really just used white and blue. We added to the bumpers, the ins and outs and intros, and we added, and we keep adding, and in fact, we're still not finished adding."
The Vari*Lite package for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire consists of 32 VL5 wash luminaires and 12 VL6B spot luminaires, operated by Arch. "I added more VL5s, and I went from VL6s(TM) to 6Bs for more intensity," says Hazirjian. "I wanted more options and more directions, and I really wanted to enhance lighting on the audience as scenery; the audience lit as silhouette is an important part of the look. I wanted to make them more chromatic at times, and edgier."
This was a major reason the LD lost the 5ks. "They used 5ks as backlighting, but I wanted to use moving lights with dichroics, so I could get very saturated color. The light from a gelled fresnel isn't hard enough to cut through the atmosphere, especially since we're using so much smoke [courtesy of a Reel EFX DF-50 Diffusion(TM) hazer]. It lights the air, and you lose the drama, you lose the blacks. I wanted the color to be rich, because that's all I had--there's black,and then there's color. So we used VL5s as backlight, and for frontlight off the center ring."
For key lights on Philbin and the contestant in the hot seat, as well as the 10 potential contestants grouped around the ring, Hazirjian went with ETC Source Fours. "They cut through what I had to cut through, and they're infinitely controllable," he says. "Everyone's individually keyed according to flesh tones. It's only when they do their crosses that I can't use the ellipsoidals, because it's too broad a space. So I use baby spots, very steep and cut in and flagged to make it work."
One of the elements inherited from the British show was its amphitheatre-style set design. Audience bleachers are grouped around 2/3 of the circular stage, broken up by vomitories and a 30' (9m) clear area along one side where the Technocrane operates. The computerized game board in the center of the stage is topped by a circular truss from which hang a dozen VL5s; a ring beneath the set's transparent Plexiglas floor panels also holds VL5s, which throw light on parabolic-shaped mirrors in the scooped-out floor. The set itself is fairly austere. "There's no color, really, just some gold trim and gray, and everything else is surrounded in black," says Harzirjian. "So the lighting is where the color comes in. The advantage of having Vari*Lites and dichroic color at your disposal is that you can mix and change easily."
Using color on television can be tricky, however. "The TV cameras are so blue-sensitive that everything ends up looking blue," says the LD. "The greens look blue, the blues look blue, and the lavenders look blue. So getting away from blue was one of my priorities. But when you get into ambers and reds especially, you can get into a chrominance problem; the color saturation is such that it's a problem in terms of transmission." Working with the video operator, Hazirjian has become skilled at "dancing on the edge of legal levels. We wanted as much color and variation as we could get and not succumb to the chroma police. It's more like rock and roll than primetime television."
One set of instruments Hazirjian wanted to make greater use of than in the English version were the VL5s under the Plexiglas floor. "We felt those were underutilized," he says. "But because there are mirrors in there making it a parabolic reflector, when you take a top shot with the crane, all of those lights are just too much for the camera to handle." The rehearsal time helped work out the kinks. "In fact, we had to go back at one point in August because some of the interesting kaleidoscopic looks we developed were too red or too hot," he says. "We had to literally run the show, and stop everything. Since the camera moves keep changing, it changes the angle of reflection, which then changes the level. So you can't necessarily set the levels unless you're in the moment. We would run a cue, stop it where video would say to wait, freeze everybody, adjust it, and move on."
For one bumper, during which a Plexiglas panel is removed and the camera actually takes a shot from below, Hazirjian uses an almost bilious shade of green on the lower ring of VL5s. "In television, you rarely ever use green because it's not great for flesh tones, but this was the perfect opportunity to do the color of money," he says. The LD did have a problem with the floor area. "With all those Vari*Lites under the Plexi floor, and the lighting built into the scenery, there's a tremendous heat load and no place for it to come out. We had to add a ring of fans and a ventilation system underneath the flooring, and we have to be very careful about how often we run the VL5s under the floor. We cue them out and turn the fans on whenever we're not shooting."
Another hurdle for Hazirjian to get around was the Technocrane. "It has a 30' swing that you've got to constantly keep in mind and avoid," he says. "That whole piece of the pie between those entry vomitories is like 1/3 of a circle where you can't really put a light. That was one advantage of not doing the show from scratch. We already knew what the problems were." The solution is "all about where the shot or closeup is taken. When we have to light from anywhere in that quadrant of the set, it has to be timed with the camera move, so it doesn't get hit by this 30' arm. We also have to worry about shadow, which is about cueing and timing. We continue to work on it. Anything that happens within that area has to be timed out by us, the camera guys, and the crane operator."
With all the moves and color changes in the incidental moments on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the game itself follows a set pattern in style and look. "Essentially, it's divided into thirds," says Hazirjian. "During the first five questions, which are easier and move along quickly, we don't do any descends, the audience is lit up." Audience frontlighting comes from both VL5s on the center ring, and, oddly enough, two-cell 1k Strand Iris cyclights. "This is one thing I kept from the British show, even though I had my doubts," the LD says of the cyc lights. "I saw them in the plot and I thought, 'Why in the world would you hang a light which you essentially use to light a piece of cloth on an audience? Why wouldn't you just use PARs or something?' But I determined that it actually works very well; the cutoff on the bottom is very severe, so you can keep it off the scenery and just keep it on the people. It lights the audience very flatly, and you get the added spill hitting the sides of the vomitories, which otherwise you probably would have had to use two or three other instruments to get."
In the middle section of the game, "we start the descend moves, and it's less about background. The frontlight on the audience goes away, and now they're just shapes--it's all about edge and silhouette. The show starts to build, to take on more drama." The edge comes from VL5s backlighting the audience, along with some VL6Bs streaking through, creating an increasingly closed-in feel to the central playing area. "I wanted those shafts of light to be something edible, something you could climb," Hazirjian says of the VL6B beams. "When they descend and basically trap the contestant, I wanted the contestant to feel like they were solid bars, that they couldn't get out. Also, because the floor VL5s are hitting this parabolic crackled mirror floor, that affects the ambient lighting in the room. It also hits the other contestants sitting around them." The key lights on Philbin and the contestant remain the same: "Their levels don't change; all around them changes."
Finally, when the game reaches the critical $32,000 question, "it all goes out. There are no more VL5s, no more wash units. All that's left are Source Four keys and backs for the host and contestant, and the VL6Bs cutting through as beams. The audience is literally in limbo, and the descend moves are very dramatic and strong--they really pull back. On the center wide shot and the center two-shot, the VL6 on the floor comes up between the host and the guest, and there's also a couple on a balcony. Toward the end of the show it's very stark, and the only time there's a hiccup or a change is when they start the next question. If they get it right, we go into a cue, the VL6s that were in a down position move up, and you see the audience. It's like that breath you release. And then you start the sequence again.
"The thing about the pattern of the question-and-answer and the cueing is, it's been choreographed so that the camera goes wide enough for you to see it," says Hazirjian. "So often in television, we'll do all this wonderful cueing, and the camera's in close, so you never see it. The beauty of this is, there are a couple or three shots in which you see it all happen, and it establishes the mood. Then boom, you're pulled right down into the close shot." And the music follows similar cues. "The director was very good about rehearsing all the elements--the music, the camera moves, the subtle pushes in and pulls out. We worked very hard to make it seamless."
One other group of instruments--30 High End Systems Dataflash(R) AF-1000 strobes positioned around the studio--is saved for the ultimate moment on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, when a lucky contestant makes it all the way to the grand prize. They've gone off just twice, accompanied by confetti cannons, for newly minted millionaires. "Nobody won $1 million during our first run in August, so we set them off at the end of the run," says Hazirjian. "That gave us the opportunity to look at the effect." Both the set and the Dataflashes were also used for a scene on ABC's Spin City in which a character is a contestant on a Millionaire-style show.
After the initial, hugely rated round of episodes in August, the hit game show moved from Sony to ABC's Studio 1, where it remains. "Studio 1 came with a whole complement of typical TV lighting, like fresnels and soft lights, and we couldn't use any of it," the LD says. "So we basically had them strip the grid." The grid itself tops out at 28' (8.5m), which is 2' lower than the Sony studio, so adjustments had to be made before the show returned to the air in November. "Also, the studio is more narrow, so left and right behind the audience we had less space to back off our backlights," Hazirjian says. "Luckily, what's behind the audience is black velour, so you can't tell on camera. It made it more difficult for us to get angle and to rig, but once we did it no one's the wiser. Since the show is a Disney production, I think they'll keep it there."
The designer feels imitation is definitely the sincerest form of flattery, and he says it hasn't stopped with producers at other networks trying to copy the game show's format. "There isn't a sketch show on the air that hasn't done a spoof based on the look," he says. "And I'm getting calls from people who want to have that same excitement in other kinds of sets--news and news magazine-type shows. It's a statement in art direction; it creates a sense of the future, of a technical edge." And, he adds, the "synchronicity" needed between programmed lighting, camera moves, and sound brings a collaborative urgency to the enterprise. "If you're going to do something like this, it's got to be coordinated," he says. "It requires a new operating mode."

Even if they were, it would still be a bad idea. The whole point in granting the tribes exclusivity, was to give them an opportunity to stand on their own and be successful.
For once the tribes have entered into an agreement that has actually panned out, and is working as intended, and I see no logical reason to disturb that success.

Finian's Rainbow is a musical with a book by E.Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy, lyrics by Harburg, and music by Burton Lane, produced by Lee Sabinson. The original 1947 Broadway production ran for 725 performances, while a film version was released in 1968 and several revivals have followed.
Finian moves to the southern United States (the fictional state of Missitucky is a combination of Mississippi and Kentucky) from Ireland with his daughter Sharon, to bury a stolen pot of gold near Fort Knox, in the mistaken belief that it will grow. A leprechaun follows them, desperate to recover his treasure before the loss of it turns him permanently human. Complications arise when a bigoted and corrupt U.S. Senator gets involved, and when wishes are made inadvertently over the hidden crock. The Irish-tinged music score includes gospel and R&B influences.

A combination of whimsy, romance, and political satire, the plot revolves around Finian McLonergan, who has emigrated from Ireland to the town of Rainbow Valley in the mythical state of Missitucky with his daughter Sharon, intent on burying a stolen pot of gold in the shadows of Fort Knox, in the belief it will grow and multiply. Hot on their heels is Og, a leprechaun intent on recovering his treasure, before the loss of it turns him permanently human. Complicating matters are a corrupt senator who makes no effort to conceal his racial bigotry and the wishes made by those unknowingly in the vicinity of the hidden crock, including Sharon, who gives the senator a taste of his own hateful medicine by accidentally turning him black (temporarily). In the ultimate happy ending, Sharon marries the handsome, cocky young Woody Mahoney; and Woody's mute sister, "Susan the Silent", acquires the power of speech and falls in love with Og, who decides that being human is not so bad after all.
Production history[edit]
Original productions in New York and London[edit]
The original Broadway production opened on January 10, 1947 at the 46th Street Theatre, where it ran for 725 performances. It was directed by Bretaigne Windust, choreographed by Michael Kidd, with orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and Don Walker. The cast included Ella Logan as Sharon, Donald Richards as Woody, Albert Sharpe as Finian, with the Lyn Murray Singers. David Wayne won both the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (the first one ever given) and the Theatre World Award for his performance as Og. The show also received Tonys for Best Conductor and Musical Director (Milton Rosenstock) and Best Choreography.
A London production opened at the Palace Theatre on October 21, 1947, running for only 55 performances.[1]
Revivals from 1955 to 2004[edit]
Finian's Rainbow was revived three times on Broadway by the New York City Center Light Opera Company. The brief 1955 production, directed by William Hammerstein and choreographed by Onna White, starred Helen Gallagher, Merv Griffin, and Will Mahoney, who was nominated for a Tony as Best Featured Actor in a Musical. In 1960, Herbert Ross directed and choreographed a cast that included Jeannie Carson, Bobby Howes, Howard Morris, Sorrell Booke, and Robert Guillaume. A third revival was staged by the company in 1967. Although major revivals of the musical have been rare in recent decades, as the musical's treatment of bigotry against blacks in the American South has become dated, in 2004 the Irish Repertory Theatre staged a well-received off-Broadway production starring Melissa Errico, Johnathan Freeman, and Malcolm Gets.[2]
Film adaptations[edit]
In the early-1950s an animated feature film adaptation began production, directed by John Hubley. The crew included Art Babbit, Bill Tytla and Paul Julian. Among the cast were Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Barry Fitzgerald, Jim Backus and David Burns plus David Wayne and Ella Logan from the original Broadway production. The era's McCarthyism caused financing to be withdrawn due to Hubley and Harburg's refusal to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Pre-production artwork, sketches from the storyboard, character designs, the script and some of the soundtrack recording have been recovered. Examples of the art and designs were published in the March/April 1993 issue of Print to illustrate an article by animation historian John Canemaker about the backstory of the project.[3]
A 1968 film version with Fred Astaire, Tommy Steele and Petula Clark was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
2009 Encores! Concert and Broadway revival[edit]
New York's City Center Encores! series performed a concert version of the musical from March 26, 2009 through March 29. Directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, it starred Jim Norton and Kate Baldwin as Finian and Sharon, with Cheyenne Jackson as Woody and Jeremy Bobb as Og, the leprechaun.[4]
A fully staged Broadway revival opened at the St. James Theatre on October 29, 2009,[5] with most of the Encores! cast and director-choreographer Carlyle returning.[6] Notable replacements to the cast were Christopher Fitzgerald as Og the leprechaun, David Shramm as Senator Rawkins and Chuck Cooper as Rawkins transformed into a black man.[7][8] Ernest Harburg, Yip Harburg's son and president of the Harburg Foundation, said "The satire of our economic system is particularly relevant right now [2009], given the nation's deep financial woes."[9]
The producers closed the show on January 17, 2010, stating that the "economic realities of Broadway today" did not allow them to play for as long as they had hoped.[10] The production sold approximately two-thirds of its seats for the 15-week run.[11][12] Garth Drabinsky offered to try to rescue the revival and secure Canadian tour commitments, but the producers rejected his proposal.[13]
The show was nominated for 2010 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Leading Actress in a Musical (Baldwin) and Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Fitzgerald).
A short spoof was part of episode 19 of the 1970 season of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
2014 London Fringe and Off-West End Revival[edit]
A fully staged London revival opened at the Union Theatre on February 12 - March 15, 2014. [14] This production was directed by Phil Willmott and musically directed by Richard Baker, with choreography by Thomas Michael Voss, and starred James Horne as Finian, Christina Bennington as Sharon, Joseph Peters as Woody, Raymond Walsh as Og and Anne Odeke as Sister Anne and Rawkin's maid. The production later moved to the Charing Cross Theatre between April 2 and May 10 with the majority of the same cast and crew.[15]

An original cast recording released as a six-disc 78 rpm set by Columbia Records was the label's first recording of a Broadway musical. The label used the album to introduce its new LP format in June 1948. In 1988, the album was released on CD, and in 2000, a second CD version appeared that was remastered from the original acetates and restored some material originally recorded but cut from the show, including three bonus tracks in which Harburg discusses the writing of and sings "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" and "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love," as well as singing "Don't Pass Me By," a song cut from the show.[18]
A recording of the original cast of the 1960 Broadway production, starring Jeannie Carson, Howard Morris, Biff mcGuire, Carol Brice, Sorrell Booke and Bobby Howes was released on RCA Victor LSO-1057.
A cast recording of the 2009 revival was recorded on December 7 by PS Classics and released on February 2, 2010.[19]

Chicago is No. 1 in a horrifying statistic: Our young people have the highest rate of Gonorrhea in the country.
Teenagers are learning hard lessons about unprotected sex. Critics say they should be better protected by education - schools should be teaching about reading, writing and risk.
"I didn't learn anything," one young woman explained. "I didn't learn anything about sex - not from the staff, not from the teachers."
She doesn't want to be identified, so FOX Chicago called her Joanne. She's a 20 year old with two children. She had her first baby when she was just 14.
Two years later, Joanne had to learn what Chlamydia is – the hard way. She had never been taught about the sexually transmitted disease, and she was very, very mad about it.
Joanne was also mad at the boy who gave it to her. But he didn't know about Chlamydia either.
Critics argue this is why Chicago ranks No. 2 in the nation for rates of Chlamydia among 15 to 19-year-olds.
"Every time I give a presentation I give the stats, folks are blown away, and they're appalled, and they should be," Chicago Public Schools' Ira Rounsaville said. "The rates of infection among this age group are astronomical."
Rounsaville is the HIV prevention specialist for CPS. He and one staff member coordinate sex education for the entire district - obviously, help wanted.
"Somebody that watched the video maybe saw that, oh that's me," Dunbar High School student Brittany Hardaway said. "I need to change my ways, I need to go get help."
Getting teenagers to spread the word themselves is the idea behind a Walgreens sponsored contest. 2011 is the fifth year of the Expressions Challenge.
This student team from Dunbar High School won the $2,000 prize last year for their video encouraging teens to get help if they are HIV positive.
"Their peers are teens, so they listen to their peers more than they listen to their parents or adults," Dunbar student Kira Bowman said. "So it's a better outlook when a teen is addressing the situation."
The retailer stepped up the prize money and the marketing this year. Stepping into the arena of sex education takes some corporate courage.
"There's no corporate backing, so to speak, to really catapult conversation about sexual responsibility. Walgreens recognized the need," Goldstar Communications (Walgreens) representative Matina Smith said. "We've reached out to many of our key academic partners."
"I applaud corporate sponsors who are doing this and we need more of them," University of Chicago researcher Dexter Voisin said.
Voisin said children are suffering while adults argue politics or morality.
"We have all these issues around sexuality, but the reality is we have to protect our youth," Voisin said. "When you look at countries like Denmark and other European countries, they have a fraction of the STI (sexually transmitted infection) cases we have in the United States."
Fueled by the staggering statistics here, CPS now has clinics adjacent to several high schools.
"We offer testing as well for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia in the high schools we've been doing that," Rounsaville said. "This is our third year."
Programs like the Walgreens Expressions Challenge are getting more official support and expanding.
The comprehensive sexual health education policy the school board adopted three years ago calls for every student to get 675 minutes of sex-ed by the 5th grade. But it's an expectation - not a mandate.
"I think we should change that," Rounsaville said. "It's important for kids to have the education and to make better choices."
Joanne learned quite a bit more in CPS sex-ed than she knew before.
"All about STD's, HIV, AIDS, pregnancy prevention, places to get help, self esteem," Joanne said. "Everything that a woman needs to grow and learn."

Stephen Jones returns to the starting lineup after two months out with injury
London Wasps are also boosted by the return of a number of players from injury.
Tim Payne also returns to face Bayonne after over a month on the sidelines
Stephen Jones returns to the starting line-up after more than two months on the sidelines, while Tim Payne starts in the front row after a month out.
Tom Palmer starts in the second row having been ruled out of the trip to Bayonne with a calf injury and Billy Vunipola is also named in the starting 15 after not travelling to France last weekend.
Elliot Daly starts at fullback in the place of captain Hugo Southwell, who isn't included in the squad after suffering a hamstring strain in France at the weekend.
Christian Wade and Tom Varndell retain their places on the wings, as do Chris Bell and Andrea Masi, who once again pair up in the centres.
Joe Simpson starts at scrum half with Jones starting at 10.
In the pack, Payne gets his start and joins Tom Lindsay and Zak Taulafo to make up the front three with Phil Swainston ruled out through injury this weekend.
Palmer returns to partner James Cannon at lock, while the back row consists of Sam Jones, Billy Vunipola and Haskell, who skippers the side.
Thursday night's fixture is set up as the crunch game of Pool Three, with the first and second placed sides in the group meeting for the second time in a week, having drawn 13 all at the Stade Jean Dauger on Saturday.
Wasps head the pool by a point and a win would put them in the driving seat going into the final two rounds in the New Year.
Director of Rugby Dai Young said "I was delighted with the commitment shown by the team in France last weekend and I am looking for more of the same tomorrow night."
"It's a win or bust tie for Bayonne who come to Adams Park knowing they have to get something from the game but it's no different for us really, as if we want to control our own destiny in this competition then we've got to win. "
Tickets for the game are still available via the London Wasps Ticket Office Hotline on 08442252990 or online through wasps.co.uk

How to Improve Your Child's Handwriting
From worksheets to short essays, there are a lot of assignments for your kid to crank out -- and his teacher has to be able to read them. "Despite the increasing amount of technology in classrooms, a child's schoolwork still is mostly handwritten," says pediatric occupational therapist Jan Z. Olsen, founder of the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum program. "Teachers think good penmanship is crucial for communicating effectively." In fact, less than half of first- to third-grade teachers said that their students' handwriting was fast enough to keep up with classroom demands, found a Vanderbilt University poll.
If your child is struggling to put his words down on paper, he'll have less energy to focus on what he wants to say. Switching to a computer isn't the solution. Second-graders generated more ideas when writing by hand than by using a keyboard, University of Wisconsin researchers report. A sliver of kids who write illegibly, have a hard time forming letters, or find it difficult to complete written assignments may lack graphomotor skills and may benefit from occupational therapy.
Still, many kids with penmanship problems simply aren't getting enough practice. Bridge the gap at home with these clever ways to start off right.Invisible Ink
Trace letters and simple words on your child's back and see if she can guess what you're writing. Then, swap and have her "write" a letter or word on you. Focus on the letters that are hardest for kids this age. Another Vanderbilt University study found that j, k, n, q, u, and z account for 48 percent of the mistakes when kids attempted to write the lowercase letters of the alphabet. Our how-to videos, above, and at parents.com/handwriting can help you teach your child these tricky letters.Get a Grip
Kids who don't hold a pencil correctly may get tired of writing. Slide-on rubber grips, sold at school-supply stores, might help. But try a fun alternative: a small pencil, like the ones used in mini golf. Save them for games of pretend. Tell your child to imagine he's a waiter and have him write down your order. Or encourage him to dress up like a rock star; then ask for his autograph.Picture This
Take out the markers or crayons and draw a single capital letter on a piece of unlined paper. Ask your child to make the chosen letter part of a bigger picture. She might turn a capital I into a butterfly or transform an O into an octopus. As she decorates the letter, she'll also be focusing on its shape.Outsider Art
Using sidewalk chalk, have your child write a giant note that could be seen from outer space, then a tiny one for ants to read. (Or if your lawn looks like a winter wonderland, ask your glove-clad kid to write letters in the snow.)Mail Tale
Buy a notebook and ask your child to keep a journal for a week. Send it to a relative to add comments on your child's week, record a week in her life, and mail it on to another loved one. The last person should mail it back to your child. She'll get reading practice too!Pick a Winner
Designate one night a week as activity night. Help your child write down stuff he'd like to do on slips of paper and place them in a jar: Suggest games (board, card, or sports), movies, or whatever interests him (building with Legos or baking muffins). When it's time, have your kid choose one and ask him to add a fresh idea to keep the jar fun-filled.Love Notes
Leave surprise messages for your child -- on her pillow, the bathroom mirror, or in her backpack. End each one with a question, and ask her to write an answer on the back and leave it for you in a surprise location as well.Minute Man
Get into the habit of asking your kid to write things for you. Dictate shopping lists, have him address envelopes, and jot down reminders on the family calendar. The more practice, the better.Tools of the Trade
Stock up on office supplies. Collect awesome writing tools (gel pens, scented markers, funny-shaped pencils) and all sorts of paper (lined sticky notes, doodle pads). Stow them in strategic spots around the house. She'll also be more psyched to scrawl if her pencil has a cute eraser.
