We fight to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
We consider anyone affected by cancer—patients, caregivers and loved ones—a survivor at the moment of diagnosis and through every stage of the cancer journey. We're letting survivors know they're not alone. There are 28 million people living with cancer around the world, and we're standing with them in the fight against cancer. We're helping survivors find their voice and take control of their fight.

Cancer accounts for nearly eight million deaths worldwide each year, killing more people than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. LIVESTRONG is calling on world leaders to make cancer a global priority. We believe all cancer survivors have the right to receive the treatment, services and support they need.
I have or have had cancer.
I have a loved one who has had cancer.
I am a health professional or healthcare provider.
Together with local partners, we will…
Increase Awareness of cancer as a priority among policy makers.
Improve Access to care for cancer survivors around the world.
Empower People affected by cancer to engage in the fight against cancer.
Middle East
The first year, I got scared but now I am back to normal and just have to take my medication. And I thank God. The first year was the hardest until I coped with the illness. And if you get scared it will overwhelm you. If you fight, you will win.
It became clearly evident that the majority of cancer patients in the Middle East see a physician for the first time when the cancer is not treatable (70% of all patients). What is left is palliative care, whether in the hospital, hospice or at home. MECC has arranged for a Situation Analysis Survey to determine the current situation of palliative care services in all MECC countries and has started to act accordingly
In 2007, LIVESTRONG executed a global cancer research study intended to give people affected by cancer a chance to share their cancer experiences and their perspectives on the cancer problem—a problem that is too often shrouded by stigma and silence. Hear from everyday people and medical professionals in India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa regarding how is cancer perceived and represented around the world.

Cancer accounts for nearly 8 million deaths worldwide each year, killing more people than TB, AIDS and malaria combined. The situation is particularly dire in the developing world. In 1970, only 15 percent of new cancer cases occurred in the developing world. Currently, over half of new cancer cases and almost two-thirds of cancer deaths now occur in low-income and middle-income countries, and the burden is expected to grow. By 2030, it is estimated that 70 percent of the global cancer burden will be borne by the developing world.
The LIVESTRONG documentary, Delivering Hope, illuminates through patient stories the possibility and promise of treating cancer in settings with limited resources. The Lance Armstrong Foundation is working to ensure that people around the world have access to the cancer care and support they need. Learn more at www.livestrong.org/deliveringhope.

The foot stool is cute and is just what I wanted. It meets my needs
Nice item - very inexpensive and it's just a nice little addition to the living room where I wanted to add just a bit of red.
The footo stool does not have the balance required to make it look good. However it will be used for keeping feet up and from that perspective it meets its purpose. It is a practical item that serves it purpose. Looks could have been better.
This is fine enough for a foot stool, though the vinyl looks like vinyl, not like faux leather.
This piece is advertised as a footstool ottoman. First, the piece is very tiny and best described as just a footstool. Assembled, it's less than 10 inches off the ground. Second, it is a pure red lipstick color, not a leathery red as shown in the graphic. Third, the legs are made of painted metal, not wood. In short, it is not worth the dollar value. If you want an ottoman, do not pick this footstool. If you want a footstool, this item is too expensive for just a footstool.
This is a perfect match for my 2 bright red leather kitchen chairs and just the right size and height to fit between them under my kitchen table. Now I can be comfortable in the kitchen. Slides easily on my ceramic tile floor. Assembly is just screwing on the legs. Love it.

I think play calling is a factor in it. With Ponder throwing an average of a little over of 5 yards per throw in the air & play calling catering to that & not sending WR's deeper on plays, you end up with 20 to 22 guys occupying a 10 to 15 yard piece of the field without a lot of extra open space for receivers to get open.
Our 1 deep threat receiver isn't showing much of his deep threat abilities. The majority of the time he's sent deep, he's blanketed by a defender, not getting much if any separation & the majority of the yards we are getting from him are off PI calls.

And there were several complaints and ridicule about Ponder last year all the way through the first couple of game this year. Then something happened that didn't happen with TJack - we started winning. We are 5-2 right now, and the people who are just waiting for Ponder to screw up (you know who you are) simply don't have the ammunition to bitch and moan. Believe me, if we start losing, they will be out in force, and to be fair, I think you will be one of them.Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
Elite and very good QB's aren't taking long to figure things out these days so he'll probably never be that. I'm just hoping Ponder can be good and consistent. He's certainly better than any realistic replacement opportunities that will be out there any time soon.
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
Christian Ponder's average pass has traveled 5.4 yards downfield this season, 1.8 yards shorter than the next lowest QB.Skol Vikings! Go Cubs!
He just plain looks awful.I don't care how many starts you have, if you can't recognize there is a guy in front of you with the same jersey, throw them the ball, don't try to throw it to the guy with the other jersey.
Trust me, there is enough ammunition for people to bitch & moan about and they may come out, but don't confuse legitimate concerns with bitching & moaning. I expect there will be a fair share of Ponder apologists as well.
No matter how many upcoming losses we will have, my stance will still be to keep Ponder in there the rest of the season to see how he pans out & take it from there afterwards. It would be fool-hardy to knee-jerk & bench him mid-season & play the QB carousel game again for the next 3 years before making a decision. We've been there, done that & it only drags things out.
I still believe Spielman, Frazier & Musgrave need to do something to get Ponder into a better position to succeed, which will help build confidence. There's got to be some happy medium between the 5 yard dumps & deep sideline passes & a better mixture of the 3. Doing the same thing over & over again expecting better results isn't working.
They need to get the TE's involved more, especially K-Rud. I don't know if there's any WR worth a shit unemployed at the moment, but perhaps there's someone that's an improvement over what we have. Perhaps give Jarius Wright a shot. I'm sure they miss having a great blocking TE like Jimmy K. to help protect Ponder & they need a coach who can actually teach AD to pick up blitzes & pass block better.

the quote about slickrick and crew to build the team with more talent in specific positions is coming, you can't build a team in 2 seasons, it takes 3-4 years. so we're far more advanced then we should be, it is still going to take time. Ponder and the caoching staff needs time, does that give them all a refrain from critisism of fans, anal-ytests.. no, we can bitch. moan. scream. and yell for their nutz on a chopping board.. but in the end, we will chear the success, boo the failures.. and write on PPO about the ups n downs..
time will tell abou Ponder, RustyMusty, even Frazier.. So far, they've done a decent job, but like the rest of the team. need to improve to become an elite team.
"We tried to stick with it, but there was a point where we were beating our head against a wall," Seattle Coach Mora talking about running at the Williams Wall
It was obvious to most here that Jenkins, Aromashodu or Arceneaux weren't capable of being "that guy" nor were they great at getting open on the short passes. Spielman elected to keep those guys anyway and sat idly by while the cream of the crop were taken. Finally, about 6 weeks into FA, they took a gamble on a WR with issues on & off the field. Taking a gamble on Simpson as well as Jenkins & Aromashodu is taking a gamble on Ponder's success as well.
A more sure thing at WR to complement AD & Harvin, would have definitely improved Ponders chances.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
That aside I am not convinced jerry Rice in his prime would fix the problems ponder is having. He is apparently a smart guy but he is not showing it on the field. He is not recognizing coverages, he is not exploiting the stacked fronts and he is making very bad mental errors with where he is putting or trying to put the ball under pressure.
I will concede that much of it can be directed back at the coaches not preparing the team and having them know what to do against certain looks, but it is appearing that Ponder may not have it in him even in that case.
Wright was drafted 2 picks earlier, but at 5'10" wasn't going to be the deep threat, go up & get the ball type WR we needed. If height didn't matter, we'd be sending Harvin deep.

Analysis of Deformation Processes
This TLP builds upon the introduction to yield criteria covered in the Stress analysis and Mohr's circle TLP and introduces a range of methods commonly used to study metal forming processes.
Tags: metals plastic deformation tensors
Introduction To Anisotropy
It is common in basic analysis to treat bulk materials as isotropic - their properties are independent of the direction in which they are measured. However the atomic scale structure can result in properties that vary with direction. This teaching and learning package (TLP) looks into typical examples of such anisotropy and gives a brief mathematical look into modelling the behaviour.
Atomic Force Microscopy
Provides a brief introduction to atomic force microscopy (AFM), some of the ways it is commonly used and some of the problems faced.
Atomic Scale Structure of Materials
This teaching and learning package provides an introduction to crystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous solids, and how the atomic-level structure has radical consequences for some of the properties of the material. It introduces the use of polarised light to examine the optical properties of materials, and shows how a variety of simple models can be used to visualise important features of the microstructure of materials.
Avoidance of Crystallization in Biological Systems
This teaching and learning package discusses the two main environmental threats leading to crystallization in plants and animals, and the ways in which organisms have adapted to avoid this crystallization. As part of this discussion, there is coverage of some of the theory of nucleation and crystallization.
This TLP investigates the basic principles, design and applications of batteries. It covers both primary and rechargeable batteries, how they work and how they may be used.
Brillouin Zones
This teaching and learning package provides an introduction to Brillouin zones in two and three dimensions and is aimed at developing familiarity with Brillouin Zones. It will not cover any specific applications. Brillouin Zones are particularly useful in understanding the electronic and thermal properties of crystalline solids.
Brittle Fracture
What determines when a material will break, and whether failure will be catastrophic or more gradual. Cracking is controlled by the energy changes that occur - it is not the stress at the crack tip that is important..
This TLP introduces a number of important processes through which metallic items can be fabricated from molten metal. As well as detailing the practical aspects of these manufacturing processes, attention is given to the important parameters which determine the microstructure of the finished items.
Crystallinity in Polymers
An understanding of polymer crystallinity is important because the mechanical properties of crystalline polymers are different from those of amorphous polymers. Polymer crystals are much stiffer and stronger than amorphous regions of polymer.
Crystallographic Texture
This teaching and learning package (TLP) introduces the concept of texture in crystalline materials such as common metals and metallic alloys.
Crystalline materials are characterised by a regular atomic structure that repeats itself in all three dimensions. In other words the structure displays translational symmetry.
Introduction To Deformation Processes
This teaching and learning package covers the fundamentals of metal forming processes.
Diffraction and Imaging
A brief summary of diffraction and imaging using an optical system.
Tags: diffraction experiment microscopy
Introduction To Dislocations
Dislocations are crucially important in determining the mechanical behaviour of materials. This teaching and learning package provides an introduction to dislocations and their motion through a crystal. A 'bubble raft' model is used to demonstrate some of the features of dislocations and other lattice defects. Some methods for observing real dislocations in materials are examined.
Electromigration is an ever-increasing problem as integrated circuits are pushed towards further miniaturization. The theory of the phenomenon is explained, including electromigration-induced failure and how it has been and can be minimized.
Ellingham Diagrams
The Ellingham diagram is a tool most often used in extraction metallurgy to find the conditions necessary for the reduction of the ores of important metals. This Teaching and Learning Package incorporates an interactive Ellingham diagram. This diagram can be used to quickly and simply find a range of thermodynamic data relating to many metallurgical reactions.

Washington, DC, April 24. The spring meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund took place this weekend with police barricades ringing the two institutions at the heart of Washington, DC. There were almost no protesters in sight.
The action was indoors, a few blocks away, at the Institute for Policy Studies. There, the opposition was putting the final touches to a global campaign to "disempower†the two institutions. To the 70 activists from different parts of the world attending the two-day strategy meeting, the relative absence of street protests was deceptive. They knew that, in fact, the two institutions were in the midst of their most serious crisis in years, one that provided the opportunity for weakening their hold on the governance of the world economy.
Crisis of Legitimacy at the IMF
The crisis is more evident at the International Monetary Fund. The IMF never recovered from the Asian financial crisis in 1997, according to former IMF and World Bank official, Dennis de Tray, vice president of the Center for Global Development. "It lost its legitimacy then,†he said at a lunch forum sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Since the crisis, key Asian countries such as Thailand, Philippines, China, and India have refrained from new borrowings from the IMF, mindful of the consequences of disastrous financial liberalization programs that many Asian countries adopted at the behest of the Fund in the early 1990's.
To the Asian countries' reluctance to get into more debt with the Fund has now been added a conspicuous move among Latin American countries, led by Brazil and Argentina, to completely pay off their debts to the IMF in order to declare independence from an institution that is much hated in the region.
What is, in effect, a boycott by some of its biggest borrowers is creating a budgetary crisis owing to the fact that over the last two decades, the IMF's operations have been increasingly funded from loan repayments by its developing country clients rather than contributions from the wealthy Northern governments, which deliberately shifted the burden of sustaining the institution to the borrowers. But with key client countries now ending their financial ties, where will the Fund get its resources?
Speaking at the same event as de Tray, Ngaire Woods, an Oxford University specialist on the IMF and World Bank, revealed that the IMF projects that payments of charges and interest to the organization would more than halve from US$3.19 billion in 2005 to US$1.39 billion in 2006 and halve again to US$635 million in 2009, creating what she described "a huge squeeze on the budget of the organization.â€
Problems at the Bank
While it does not have the aura of controversy and failure that surrounds the IMF, the World Bank is also in crisis, say informed observers. A budget crisis is also overtaking the Bank, according to Woods: Income from borrowers' fees and charges dropped from US$8.1 billion in 2001 to US$4.4 billion in 2004, while income from the Bank's investments went from US$1.5 in 2001 to US$304 million in 2004. China, Indonesia Mexico, Brazil and many of the more advanced developing countries are going elsewhere for their loans.
The budgetary crisis is, however, only one aspect of overall crisis of the institution. The policy prescriptions offered by Bank economists is increasingly seen as irrelevant to the problems faced by developing countries, says de Tray, who served as the IMF's resident officer in Hanoi and the World Bank's representative in Jakarta. The problem, he said, lies in the emphasis at the Bank's research department on producing "cutting edge†technical economic work geared to the western academic world rather than coming out with knowledge to support practical policy prescriptions. The Bank is currently staffed by some 10,000 professionals, most of them economists, and de Tray claims that "there is nothing wrong at the World Bank that a 40 per cent staff reduction would not fix.â€
Woods supports de Tray, writing in a recent report that the "most common complaint in the field is that the Fund and Bank staff have no policy experience. Having completed doctorates in economics or finance, the staff are ill-equipped for the complex and messy work of the political systems in which they work.â€
The disdain for politics that incapacitates many staff in dealing with the developing world is often coupled with a blind eyes to the fact that politics of a more consequential kind than complex developing country politics also influences the policy prescriptions of the Bank and the Fund. "Politics has always influenced the advice offered by the IMF and World Bank,†writes Wood. "South Korea's first standby agreement with the IMF in 1997 was clearly decorated with conditions which had been added at the behest of the United States. In Russia through the 1990's, political pressures in the G 7 pushed the Bank to make loans, which were never used (but for which Russia had to pay charges), and pushed the IMF to turn a blind eye to failures to meet its targets. World Bank projects are sometimes covertly shaped by preexisting agreements for contracts between large companies backed by powerful governments and borrowers.â€
How to Hide a Crisis
One of those present at the meeting of non-governmental organizations at the Institute for Policy Studies was Robin Broad, an associate professor at American University. A long-time student of the World Bank whose book Unequal Alliance: the World Bank and the Philippines is regarded as a classic case study of the institution's relations with its client countries, Broad claims that the World Bank is, in fact, in more of a crisis than the IMF but that this is less visible to the public.
"The IMF's response has been to withdraw behind its four walls, thus reinforcing the public perception of its being besieged,†she notes. "The Bank's response, however, has been to engage the world to hide its mounting crisis.â€
She identifies three elements in the Bank's offensive. "First, it goes out and tells donors that it is the institution best positioned to do lending to end poverty, for the environment, for addressing HIV-AIDS, you name it…when in fact its record proves that it's not. Second, it has the world's largest 'development' research department—funded to the tune of about $50 million—whose raison d'etre is to produce research to back up predetermined conclusions. Third, it has this huge external affairs department, with a budget of some $30 million—a PR unit that feeds these so-called objective research findings to the press and fosters the image of an all-knowing Bank..â€
But, she concludes, "This can't last. Inside the Bank, they know they're in crisis and are scrambling. And sooner or later, if we do our work, the truth will come out.â€
Reaction to New Initiatives
At the NGO meeting, people dismissed World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz' much publicized anti-corruption campaign as another public relations stunt designed to shore up the Bank's faltering legitimacy. "Talk about being hypocritical. He was the US ambassador to Indonesia in the mid-eighties, when corruption involving World Bank projects was rife, and he never did anything about it,†said Shalmali Guttal of the Bangkok-based Focus on the Global South. "About one out of every three dollars that the Bank gave Suharto government over a 30 year period from the mid-sixties to the mid-nineties went to the pockets of Suharto's people. This came to about $10 billion of the $30 billion World Bank lending program. Wolfowitz, in fact, was known as a great friend of the Suharto regime.â€
Deep skepticism also met the plan to increase the voting power of some the big developing countries, such as China and Brazil, and the announcement that a few more poor countries would be made eligible for debt reduction under the Bank-managed "Highly Indebted Poor Country Initiative†(HIPC). The latter was seen as a PR effort to shore up a faltering program while the former was seen as a desperate attempt to head off the move of many developing countries to move away from dependence on the two institutions. End of Reform?
There was little talk at the meeting about reforming the Fund and the Bank's lending and project policies, the preferred approach of many of the bigger international NGO's in the nineties. Sameer Dossani, coordinator of the 50 Years is Enough! Campaign expressed the meeting's doubts about the viability of a reformist approach: "We criticized structural adjustment programs, and they came up with PRSP's [Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers]. We called for debt cancellation, and they came up with HIPC. With these initiatives now mired in failure, isn't it time for another approach?â€
With the deepening crisis of the two institutions, the critics sense an opportunity for putting in place a more radical strategy. "We've united around a strategy of disempowering the Bank and the Fund,†Lidy Nacpil of Jubilee South, a global coalition demanding debt cancellation, at the conclusion of the two-day meeting. Instead of attaching conditions to IMF and Bank operations in order to reduce their negative impacts, the new approach would identify the most vulnerable operations or divisions of the two institutions and wage global campaigns to shut them down with the strategic goal of eventually rendering the two institutions with radically reduced power and influence.
"It's like cutting off the tentacles of an octopus,†Dossani said. "You start with the most vulnerable parts, then move on.â€
Among two initiatives considered by the new campaign are international mass mobilizations at the time of the World Bank-IMF Fall Meeting in Singapore during the third week of September and an international conference on "Alternatives to the World Bank and the IMF†timed to coincide with the Fall meeting.

Report: Ravens' Kindle in stable condition following head injury
Ravens OLB Sergio Kindle is in stable condition after falling down two flights of stairs and injuring his head Thursday night at a house he was visiting in Austin, Texas, according to the team's official site.
The agent for Leach says the All-Pro fullback has signed a three-year, $11 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The Houston Texans were hoping to re-sign the 6-foot-2, 255-pound Leach, who was the lead blocker for Arian Foster, the NFL's leading rusher in 2010.||||||| Houston contacted Leach immediately when free agency began, but Leach wanted to test the market after making his first Pro Bowl in 2010. Leach played the last five seasons with the Texans after signing with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2004.
Leach re-signed with the Texans on Monday after they matched an offer sheet he signed with the Giants. The 6-foot, 250-pound fullback originally signed with the Texans last October after he was cut by the Green Bay Packers. He appeared in 11 games with Houston, starting five and was the primary blocker during the last month of the season. Leach set a career high with six catches and caught his first career touchdown.||||||| Leach has played in 34 career games with Green Bay and Houston, starting 10.
Leach signed an offer sheet for a four-year contract with the New York Giants on Monday. The Houston Texans, Leach's current team, have seven days to match the deal, worth more than $7 million. If they don't match, Leach becomes a Giant. "It's a good deal for a fullback," agent Ralph Vitolo said. "The Giants are obviously one of the best organizations in the NFL, they have an excellent quarterback (Eli Manning) and a great offense Vonta could probably excel in."||||||| The 6-0, 250-pound Leach played two seasons with the Packers, appearing in 22 games, but had no rushes for the Packers. He was cut last September by Green Bay and joined the Saints, but soon was cut again and went to the Texans. Leach had six receptions and one touchdown catch for Houston.
Leach was acquired by New Orleans off waivers on Thursday, the second fullback the team has picked up in as many days. The Saints signed Corey McIntyre on Wednesday. New Orleans lost both fulbacks on their Week 1 roster. Leach was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday.||||||| He played 23 games in three seasons for the Packers and started their 26-0 loss to Chicago on Sunday. He should see some time with the Saints although he won't be expected to rush the ball with Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister on the roster.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
With prequels, sequels, and trilogies crowding movies theaters, the aphorism "They don't make 'em like they used to" has never felt more true. Why is that? That's what veteran producer Lynda Obst wanted to know when she began writing her latest book, Sleepless in Hollywood: Tales from the New Abnormal in the Movie Business. Over the past few years Obst, who has produced movies like Sleepless in Seattle and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, noticed that it was becoming harder to make good films. She began researching the changing dynamics of the movie industry and details her conclusions in Sleepless in Hollywood: Tales from the New Abnormal in the Movie Business, her recent book about living and working in an industry that has been radically changed by technology and globalization.
Was there an exact moment when you knew you wanted to write Sleepless in Hollywood?I was at dinner at my son's house and I was complaining to him about being unable to get a movie made that, in the past, I had always been able to get made. The studio had been real excited about it from the beginning and all of a sudden, whenever I talked to the studio about it they'd look at me with sort of a blank stare. It had been a blank stare I had been getting a lot recently when I'd been talking about romantic comedies. I said to Ollie, 'I have no idea why I can't get this movie made, it's so good.' He looked at me as if I was from Mars--this is 2006, maybe 2007--and said, 'Mom trying to get a movie made because it's good is so 2003.' I was stunned. I was unable to say anything because I realized he was right.
What about the change in the industry surprised you the most?In the book I include a graph on the Ice Age sequels, "sequelitis." Ice Age, which we never think about in the United States, would continue to go up like $250,000 a year domestically but logarithmically internationally. It showed you how a pre-awareness could quadruple the value of a product internationally and have no effect domestically. That's sequelitis. That's how the international box office has grown so valuable. Not only are they building more theaters but the value of these products accelerate overtime as they sequelize. So a one-off has no value. If you make a movie that makes $200 million and you can't make a sequel out of it, it's a dead property. That's what happened to the rom com.
Do you think the romantic comedy still has a future?I do think they can come back if we can find some room for them in the slate, if it's a really good one and it's not expensive and the studios aren't too nervous so they don't have to stuff them with movie stars who cost too much and ruin the model. They have to reflect the times. They can't be glossy and formulaic like they were in the 1980s and '90s; they have to be edgy and real. And someone has to be willing to do a one-off and make a shorter term profit.
Do you really think a film like Forest Gump would be passed up by today's studios?There are wonderful people who came into this industry not to make franchises. They love movies as much as anyone else. At the individual studios, certainly at the best of them, they're trying to find a way to sneak what they would call original one offs--you would call movies--between the tentpoles. Sony's a good example with Moneyball, The Social Network, and The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. They have to make them for a price. They have to make them along with Spiderman and all of their other tentpoles but those movies are now made by what I call the Olympians, the five or six directors in rarified circumstances who can do it. We just don't have a regular diet of those movies; we have the miracles that we get to see at Academy Awards time.
In Sleepless in Hollywood you wrote that Bridesmaids was a fork in the road for female-driven scripts. Did the film's success change anything?When Bridesmaids came out we were all incredibly excited that there would be a whole new state for female movie comedies. It turned out it only meant Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig could make movies. It was really disappointing. I don't know what to attribute that to. I'm not one to easily attribute that to sexism; there are too many women at the head of studios. It's just that people somehow continue to generalize from the wrong principles. When Something's Got to Give came out, trillions of women from all around the world came out to see that movie. When Bridesmaids came out everybody went out. Much higher numbers then they expected and it worked internationally. So I don't know why. It mystifies me. It's the only thing I can't answer.
Has what you discovered while researching Sleepless in Hollywood made you hopeful or pessimistic about the movie industry?All of the above. There are aspects of the industry that are disheartening and there are aspects of it that are wildly optimistic. There are people like Sue Kroll, the head of marketing at Warner Brothers, who can take a one-off original movie and can open it like it's Fast and Furious 6; that's hopeful because that's just an individual who has the talent to come up with a campaign that can save an original move. Talent can be cultivated and hired and that's how marketing is not only the bane of this industry but potentially a boon to it. So that's one hopeful thing.
The audience is really hopeful. The audience is going to reject a bad temple; it did that a few times last year on movies that cost $200 million. Word of mouth is so fast because of the internet; marketing can't just put any piece of crapola out there. As a result bad temples will get weeded out like they are this year so only the best ones get made and possibly more money will be left over for a piece of good writing and casting, like Argo, to get made.
Lynda Obst will be signing books this Thursday, June 13, at Book Soup at 7 p.m.

By Wade Coggeshall
INDIANAPOLIS — If Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for president of the United States, had been allowed by the Presidential Debates Commission to participate in last Wednesday's debate, viewers would've heard from a candidate who doesn't comfortably fit in either the left or right of the political spectrum.
As Johnson, a former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico, noted during a campaign stop last Thursday at IUPUI, he believes marriage equality is a constitutionally guaranteed right, the war on drugs should be a health issue rather than a criminal justice one, the federal budget should be balanced now and not over several years, federal income and corporate taxes should be replaced with one consumption tax, and the Federal Reserve and legal tender laws should be abolished and replaced with ones that allow for competing currencies. And that's only part of his ideological platform.
But alas, the CPD only allows for candidates garnering at least 15 percent support in three national polls to participate in its debates. Johnson, who's currently on 47 of the 50 state ballots (and having to fight swing states and those with tough ballot laws to reach that point), is currently polling about 6 percent nationally. That's despite little media attention.
So instead the American people got a presidential debate between Democrat incumbent Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney that, in Johnson's words, was "much ado about nothing."
"I find it remarkable that Obama and Romney are debating over who's going to spend more money on Medicare, when we have to slash the spending for it," Johnson said during a meet-and-greet with supporters Thursday before a scheduled speech on the IUPUI campus.
As it stands, he says citizens are paying an average of $30 into the program and getting $100 back.
"That's not sustainable, and of course that's everything we're doing now as a government," Johnson said.
He's in the camp that believes a Greece-like monetary collapse is imminent here - thanks to a national government that borrows and prints money to the tune of 43 cents for every dollar spent.
If elected, Johnson promises to submit a balanced budget to congress in 2013 that cuts spending by 43 percent - or $1.4 trillion. Unlike many pundits, he also thinks the public recognizes that spending cuts are necessary too.
"I think we're hungry to elect leadership," Johnson said. "The country's in deep doo-doo. We have to fix it, and it has to be mutual sacrifice on the part of all of us."
That includes our military spending. While Romney has paid lip service to budget cuts, he's campaigning on the promise of adding to the military's budget. Johnson's proposed cuts would take those levels back to what they were in 2003.
"We have an obligation to provide ourselves with a strong national defense," Johnson said. "But the operative word is 'defense' and not 'offense' and 'nation building,' and that's what we're doing."
Johnson's poll numbers are the highest yet for a Libertarian presidential candidate, and that holds true for the party's Indiana candidates too. Chris Spangle, the party's state executive director, said Rupert Boneham, the Libertarian gubernatorial candidate, has managed to raise a record $70,000 for his campaign.
"It's always tough running a third-party race," Spangle said. "You don't have the corporate sponsors like the other two, so it's more difficult to raise money and get attention."
Indeed, Boneham frequently has 20-hour work days on the campaign trail. He says he recently apologized to his wife for creating a scenario in which he doesn't get paid to work so much.
"But I said two years ago, win or lose we're getting our issues out and showing if you're not happy with the status quo, then work to change it," said the former star of the reality TV show "Survivor." "And if someone says you can't, show them how you can."
Spangle sees a bright future for the Libertarian Party. It's not just that they increase their poll numbers and contributions with every election. It's also that, anecdotally, most of their candidates, chairs, and supporters are younger than 40.
"It is a young-skewing party, and it's only going to get better as those people become more established and experienced," said Spangle, noting Johnson's IUPUI visit sold out in four and a half days.
There's still that belief, though, that voting for a third-party candidate in a one-winner election system is essentially throwing your vote away. Johnson says he's making the pitch that he's not the third choice. He's the only choice.
"A wasted vote is voting for someone you don't believe in," Johnson said. "If everyone wastes their vote, I'm the next president of the United States."

Move over candy companies, there's a new – healthy – fundraising venture many area groups, organizations and schools are using to fund various projects and promote lifestyle changes in area residents.
For years, students have sold candy, cookie dough and other treats as fundraisers for school clubs and organizations. Several schools in the area are encouraging locals to dial back their sweet tooth, lace up their running shoes and participate in a 5K run/walk. These run/walk events will take place at three area schools in February and March, with proceeds benefiting school programs and/or sports teams.
Munford High School's softball team's Valentine's Day 5K will be held Feb. 16, with the run beginning at 9 a.m. at the MHS football field.
MHS softball coach Darrell Smith said he got interested in 5K runs a few years ago.
"About four years ago, I was asked by a friend of mine to join a team to run in the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure in Birmingham, which benefited breast cancer awareness," Smith said. "I went to this event and was amazed by the turnout they had and was really touched by all the people who were, some way or another, affected by breast cancer. Even though they had this obstacle in their life, they were excited to get out and run.
"Since that time, I have participated in several 5Ks and really enjoy watching people challenge themselves to finish the race and compete."
This will be the second year that the Lady Lions have hosted this event. Smith said approximately 75 people participated in last year's 5K.
"At our first annual event last year, the Lady Lions Booster Club worked in conjunction with Dionne Clark of the Munford Recreation Board to organize the race for us," he said. "Mrs. Clark, who participates in several 5Ks did an outstanding job of pointing us in the right direction and helping us plan a course for the race, and working out all the small details that go into a race. I just thought you showed up, tied your shoes and took off running. But I quickly learned there's a lot of work that goes into a race."
This year, the softball program is partnering with J. Morgan Events to put on this year's race. Registration costs $15 or $12 for Anniston Runners Club members. Awards will be given for the top three male and female overall winners as well as the top three finishers in each age group. In honor of the holiday, there will also be a "Cupid Couples" division. "We'd like to welcome our friends from the Talladega, Oxford, Anniston and Pell City areas to join us next weekend," Smith said. "Please go to www.jmorganevents.com for more details and registration information."
Once participants have run off the calories from their sweet treats from Valentine's Day, they can keep the momentum by preparing for Lincoln Elementary School's Bear Cub 5K, which will take place March 9. This marks the first time LES has hosted a 3.1-mile run/walk event. LES Principal Donna Hudson said the event will benefit all programs at the school, but she hopes the fundraiser also benefits the community, instilling an interest in a healthy lifestyle.
"In addition to being a fundraiser, this is an opportunity for our children, their families and our entire community to be involved in a fun and healthy activity," she said. "At LES, we promote healthy living and an active lifestyle, so to host a 5K is a good fit for our school."
As part of the school's commitment to healthy living, more than 150 students now participate in the school's running club. The club is in its second year of existence and has more than doubled its participation from the first year. In addition to the students participating, Hudson said many of the teachers have been inspired to start running or walking as well.
"Last year we had seven students log at least 25 miles at school and finish the last mile at the Mercedes Marathon (in Birmingham)," Hudson said. "This year we have 12 students who will be participating at the Mercedes Marathon. The sponsor of our Running Club, Allison Miles, is an avid runner who competes in 5K, 10K and marathon runs. She has inspired a love of running and walking in a lot of our children and teachers.
"I, along with some teacher friends, walk in several 5Ks each year, while my grandson runs them. Since we are a Health and Wellness School, we felt that it would be a good opportunity to get even more of our school family involved in a lifetime sport."
Registration is $15 or $10 for LES faculty and students or $50 for five-member teams. There will also be a $2 discount for Anniston Runners Club and Lincoln Runners Club members. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in each age group and T-shirts will be provided to the first 200 pre-registered participants.
The race begins and ends at Lincoln High School's football stadium. It is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. March 9. A 1-mile fun run will begin once the 5K has concluded.
"It (the course) is relatively flat, with a few inclines, or smaller hills," Hudson said. "It will be a nice course for first time participants to walk or run, as well as a good course for avid runners to post fast times.
"Registration forms can be found online at les.tcboe.org, annistonrunners.com, or can be picked up at the school," Hudson said.
For more information, call LES at 256-315-5265.
Just a week after the Bear Cub 5K in Lincoln, Alabama School for the Blind will host the third annual Redskin 5K run March 16 at 8 a.m.
ASB faculty members Valerie Burrage and Troy Haynes started a running club at the school a few years ago as a way "to get our students involved in the community and to make our community more aware of sensory impaired individuals," according to Burrage.
"We decided we would start a runners club to give students an opportunity to become more active and be a part of a group that would support each other," Burrage said. "The 5K fundraiser allows us to take runners to area events and for others to see our visually impaired students participating in physical activity just like his or her peers."
The funds raised in the previous events have allowed Burrage and Haynes to take the runners to events like VisionWalk in Birmingham, a walk/run sponsored by the Foundation Fighting Blindness, and the Anniston Lion's 5K for Sight run. Burrage said proceeds from the Redskin 5K has also allowed them to purchase new track uniforms for the boys and girls. This year, Burrage and Haynes "are taking five visually impaired runner's club participants to run the Mercedes Relay in Birmingham." Burrage said she and Haynes will serve as guide runners for the group.
"The greatest benefit of the Redskin Run is our students are interacting with fellow runners/peers and it allows the community to see what visually impaired individuals can do," Burrage said.
The run begins and ends on the campus of ASB and proceeds through parts of the historic silk stocking district in Talladega. Burrage said the course is mostly flat, with two small hills or inclines.
There is still time for businesses and organizations to support this event by becoming a sponsor and volunteers are needed to encourage runners, hand out water and give course directions on race day.
Burrage said "a special thanks to the Talladega Police Department and the Talladega Volunteer Rescue Squad for directing traffic." She also said she was thankful for the "community supporting the Redskin 5K and the businesses for being a corporate sponsor."
Burrage said 248 runners participated last year and she hopes to see that number increase this year. Mereithi Turner holds the course record with a time of 20:46.42. The female course record is held by Haley Long with a time of 21:09.14.
Registration is $15 if registered by March 1. Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind employees and students, as well as Anniston Runners Club members can register for $12. Registration fees on race day are $25.
For more information, contact Burrage or Haynes at 256-493-8414 or 256-310-3041.

Post-Season Honors Continue for Carmen Paez
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Florida Gulf Coast University softball student-athlete Carmen Paez has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III Team, it was announced Thursday (May. 8). Paez was chosen to the second team.
The District III team is made up of student-athletes from Division I schools in the states of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. To be nominated, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore, a starter or important reserve, and must carry a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher.
"Carmen reaffirms the adage that it is never too late to start over again," said Head Coach Dave Deiros. "She took full advantage of her academic and athletic opportunities, deservedly reaping many successes in the process and opening other doors that were previously off limits. Congratulations, Carmen--we are very proud of you."
Paez, a senior, was one of four Atlantic Sun Conference student-athletes named to the District III team. She recently graduated with her bachelors degree in criminal justice in April.
On the field, Paez ranked among the NCAA leaders in most offensive categories including homeruns, batting average and RBI. In one season in the A-Sun, she cracked the top 10 in the record books in five different categories. For the season, she hit .425 with 22 homers, just four shy of an A-Sun single-season record, 68 RBI, and 76 runs scored. Her 22 home runs ranked third in the NCAA this season, which resulted in several teams pitching around her; she coaxed 84 walks, the fifth most in NCAA history. She had a .928 slugging percentage and an on base percentage of .638. Paez, one of the most decorated athletes at FGCU, was named A-Sun Player of the Year, earned a spot on the All-Atlantic Sun first team (unanimous selection) and was also among 25 semifinalists for the NFCA Player of the Year award.

Each of Ann Pibal's succinct abstract paintings moves the eye nimbly over the picture plane. Sharp angles, crisp lines, sometimes tangy color values, and, in her most recent pieces, breathy brushwork all portray a quizzical intent. She's like a physicist scribbling equations over a white board, puzzling out vital, small-scale unknowns.
But her methodical equations, in the acrylic-on-aluminum paintings now on view at Steven Zevitas Gallery, have a graceful simplicity you don't see on many white boards: straight lines, intersections, and little trolley-like loafs of color that ride along the lines, adding up to a system of weights and balances.

18-piece Rockler/Insty-Drive self-centering and countersink set lets you convert from drilling and countersinking to installing perfectly centered hinge screws in a matter of seconds - without re-chucking any bits! The 18-Piece set includes #6, #8 and #10 HSS 2-flute tapered hex shank bits with 4-flute countersinks; #6, #8 and #10 hex shank HSS self-centering bits; Rockler's Insty-Driver; 10 of the most popular drive bits; and a nylon pouch with belt loop.
- Switch from drilling to driving instantly!
- Just drill the pilot hole, slip on the Insty-Driver and drive home the screws.
- Components are engineered to meet the highest standards for use in industrial applications.
- All Rockler/Insty-Drive bits are precision-ground high speed steel that resist wear and overheating, thus keeping a sharp edge longer.
- Bits can be resharpened easily on a bench grinder.
- Inluded self-centering bits ensure accurate hinge and hardware installation every time.
- Countersink has a 4 flute design for smooth, clean holes that do not require sanding.
- Taper drill bit is adjustable to match length of screw and is held with 1 or 2 hex set screws.
How the Rockler/Insty-Drive System Works:
- Step 1: Drill the pilot hole with the countersink bits or the self-centering bits, which both have a hex shank to prevent slipping.
- Step 2: Slip on the Rockler Insty-Driver which fits over Rockler countersink and self-centering bits. Magnetic tip holds all 1/4'' style insert bits and screws.
- Step 3: Drive home the screws. Then slip off the Insty-Driver and do it again. You'll get fast and accurate hardware installation every time!

I love this set!I've purchased a quick change drill and bit setup something like this from another manufacturer and was terribly disappointed in it's quality and stability. I've also owned several tapering-countersink sets before that burn up and loose their sharpness, and usefulness almost out of the package.This kit from Rockler has become my go-to kit. The quick change setup is more stable than the other ones I've had and the tapered drill bits are of a quality that is so much greater than any I've ever used, there really is no comparison.On a tight budget, I bought cheaper sets and got just that... cheaper sets! I would've saved more money and aggravation if I would've spent the little bit extra up front for this better quality set in the first place.Thank you Rockler!

Fabulous product! I am a beginner and can't afford the really expensive stuff. I even had to wait for this to go on sale. I think the design of the pilot bit, with a built in adjustable depth collar is a great feature. The self centering bits work very well. As usual however, there was no documentation. I found out by accident that the counter bore adjusts for depth of drill. Also, as an added bonus, I found the third pilot bit already inserted in the driver assembly. The storage is average. You have to use every other holder to store the bits, and centering bits. Why not just use fewer retainers, and spread out their spacing. Minor issue. Overall, another great value from Rockler.

I'm in the middle of building a set of built-in bookshelves 24' long by 8' tall for a Pastor's Study. This drive set is an absolute joy to have especially given the quantity of screws that I'm using in assembling the bookcases. Add to it the ability to slip on the screwdriver. It works so well I went back and purchased the #5 and #12 pilot/shank/countersink bits. The next project at the church will involve using the self-centering bits.

Waukesha - A proposed amendment to an agreement for Oak Creek to sell Lake Michigan water to the City of Waukesha will put the plan back on track after a one-month delay, Waukesha Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak said Friday.
The revision clarifies how Waukesha's future rate payments to Oak Creek will be determined, Duchniak said. The amendment is intended to reassure Oak Creek that it will be paid rates that reimburse it for full costs of the service.
The Oak Creek Water & Sewer Commission will review the proposal Tuesday.
Both the Oak Creek and Waukesha common councils are scheduled to adopt the amended agreement at separate meetings on Nov. 20. The Waukesha council discussed the amendment Thursday night in a closed-door session.
Rate payments unexpectedly became an obstacle to sealing the deal in early October when the Wisconsin Public Service Commission ruled Oak Creek could not bill Franklin for providing adequate volume and pressure for fighting fires as part of its wholesale charges to the community.
Oak Creek water officials subsequently declined to sign Waukesha's agreement out of concern that Oak Creek could no longer recover full costs of providing water service to its wholesale municipal customers.
Waukesha will become Oak Creek's largest customer if the eight Great Lakes states approve Waukesha's request to switch to a lake wa ter supply.
Waukesha is asking Wisconsin and the other seven states for approval to divert up to an average of 10.9 million gallons of lake water a day by 2050 across the subcontinental divide separating the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River watersheds. In 2010, the city's average daily demand from its wells was nearly 6.7 million gallons of water a day.
Nearly all of the lake water sold to Waukesha must be returned to the lake as treated wastewater, under terms of a Great Lakes protection compact.
Waukesha would stop using deep wells drawing radium-contaminated water from sandstone if the Great Lakes request is approved unanimously by the states.
Waukesha would spend an estimated $183 million to build pipelines and pumping stations to bring water inland from Oak Creek and return treated wastewater to the lake.
Oak Creek agrees to supply Waukesha an average of 7 million gallons per day beginning later in this decade, under terms of a letter of intent. Wholesale rates offered to Waukesha are estimated at $1.90 per 1,000 gallons of water.
To pay the costs of establishing a lake water supply, average monthly residential water bills in Waukesha would climb to $58.26 by 2022, up $32.26 a month from this year, according to a Waukesha Water Utility analysis.
All other water options, including drilling more wells, would be more expensive and less sustainable than a lake supply, Duchniak said.

Tories in bid for free city centre parking
Updated 5:06pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News By Chris Tate, Aire/Worth Valley Reporter
Bradford city centre must woo car drivers with the promise of free parking or face terminal decline, a leading councillor warned yesterday with the backing of the AA.
Councillor John Pennington, the Conservative group's spokesman for transport, is demanding free on and off-street short stay parking for the coming financial year to help grease the wheels of commerce.
"It's time to be nice to motorists," he said.
And his proposal has been endorsed by motorist group the AA, which said last night: "It would definitely boost Bradford's economy."
The city's Chamber of Trade also gave its support to the idea: "It would be wonderful and help redress the balance regarding competition from out-of-town retail sites," said its secretary Val Summerscales.
The Tory group has added £500,000 in its budget proposals to allow city centre shoppers two hours' free parking and will present them to a special meeting of the full Council tomorrow.
Coun Pennington said: "People have got no money for tickets, never mind parking fines and if we want them to spend in our shops we've got to encourage them here in the first place.
"Bradford's lost its footfall and if it costs a few quid to get people in then so what?
"If you give a retailer the opportunity of a customer, they will turn that into profit and flourish.
"So we've got to offer free, convenient and safe parking.
"The knock-on effect will attract a greater public and even more shops.
"You do not need to spend huge amounts on infrastructure, people regenerate, if given the opportunity'.
Coun Pennington (Bingley) concluded: "I hope the ruling Labour Group adopt my proposals to give existing businesses a much-needed tonic and, for once, show active Council support."
The AA's spokesman on road and transport issues Paul Watters said it welcomed Coun Pennington's idea.
"It's good to hear the pendulum is swinging the other way in favour of the motorist," Mr Watters said.
"Drivers are wrestling with high fuel prices with 70 per cent saying that effects their parking and shopping behaviour.
"Everyone from Mary Portas to Eric Pickles and the Department of Transport are urging councils not to hit people with parking tickets and fines.
"It would definitely boost Bradford's economy."

This despite a certain rose coloured spectacle wearer continually saying that it was increasing.
Interesting that this should happen at exactly the same time as Leeds council are considering bringing in parking charges at their previously free parking places (of course they have the luxury of actually having some shops and Europe's only new shopping mall to be opened this year).

I stumbled across this site while looking up stuff on gravity. I can't believe someone actually wrote this stuff, believes it, and is selling books about it. It's so frustrating to me. And so I thought I'd share my frustration on the topic with the rest of you.
He claims his "Reality Theory" disproves the whole of modern science and... God, it makes me sick just describing it. Just read it yourself if you want to discover just how stupid and ignorant a person with a little bit (very little) of knowledge can be.

This is the emergency tool that enables a quick escape from a vehicle by simply pressing it against a side window. Unlike other emergency tools that require significant force, this tool's ceramic pin shatters the window with minimal effort, making it ideal for use by the elderly or children. The pin reloads instantly after each attempt, so users can repeat as needed. An integrated razor in the tool's handle cuts through a seatbelt strap in one smooth motion, setting you free to extricate yourself and passengers from the vehicle. A mounting bracket keeps the escape tool always within reach on a console or inside a car door, so precious seconds won't be wasted trying to locate it. The tool is made from glass fiber-reinforced polyamide with a non-slip grip. 6 1/4" L x 2 1/4" W x 1" D. (5 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Effortless Vehicle Escape Tool comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A Maryville man has been arrested after shooting at a trophy white-tailed buck in Knox County.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency says Christopher Caughron, 23, of Maryville, was taken into custody early Monday evening by a TWRA official who saw him shoot at the buck just off of Pellissippi Parkway.
Caughron then led the officer on a chase before he surrendered at the Weigel's on Northshore Drive.
TWRA Wildlife Officer Joe Durnin was driving along Hunter Valley Lane Monday afternoon to get a closer look at a large deer.
"While I was observing it, a vehicle pulled off the interstate and took a shot at it," Durnin said.
Durnin says he was in his work truck when he heard the gun shot about 40 feet away. He says Caughron parked his truck along Pellissippi Parkway, got out, and shot at the deer with a high powered rifle.
"I was on the other side of the trees from the deer, and in the line of fire," Caughron said.
Before he got away, Durnin was able to take a picture of Caughron's truck.
"He left there and I left here. I went to Northshore, and he got off at Northshore. We met there, and there was a little bit of a chase there," Durnin said.
After the car chase, Caughron was arrested near Northshore and Ebenezer Drive. In addition to these new charges, he's also facing charges in Blount County for illegal bear baiting in September. In that case, a 400 pound black bear was killed out of season.
If convicted in that case, Caughron could lose his Tennessee hunting privileges for 10 years.
"People will be recurring offenders regardless of the penalties sometimes, so I don't know if that's the case here or not, it could be," Durnin said.
After searching the scene, TWRA officers didn't find any evidence that the deer had been hit by the shot.
Caughron has been released from the Knox County Detention Center. He's facing several charges including felony evading arrest, felony reckless endangerment, and hunting from a public road. His next court date is January 21.
