Then we have a widow living in Islamabad who has two daughters Amna (Vaneeza Ahmed) and Imaney (Nadia Hussain). Amna is engaged to be married to Sharjeel and the whole family comes to Karachi for the wedding. At the mayun, they discover that Amna's mother-in-law is not as sweet and mild tempered as they were told. However they are helpless and Amna gets married to Sharjeel.

I wonder if all these liberals will one day extract their craniums from their rectums and take a good long breath of fresh air and see the crap that they have been spreading for what it really is. Fertilizer for infertile minds. They are like a bunch of worthless anchors on an underpowered ship, they are trying to drag themselves under and can't seem to fathom what the problem is.

A blog about Learning, about Education, about transformation, about change, about youth voice, about democratic human centered education. I am trying to ask the question "Why we educate" and what my answer means to me as a teacher and how my role shapes society and the whole.
I approve… if it helps… Not sure if people saw it but I tumbled a new book by Blogger and author, teacher and public school teacher John T Spencer (Not to be confused with the head coach of the Portland Timbers :)) last week…. the book is a collection of his posts on being a new teacher
Education Rethink: A Sustainable Start: What Makes This Different?)
One of my favorite authors and bloggers John T Spencer releases a new book. This is a perfect book for new and current teacher during the first few weeks of school!
What about a "first year teacher" tag?
GWALP approves! Let's make this one happen!

Ally Alert: Interview with Writer & Reproductive Justice Activist Jessica Luther
"[Being an ally] means listening. It means checking my privilege. It means recognizing constantly that my experience is not THE experience. It means always trying to be as inclusive as possible. It means apologizing when I fail to do any of these things. It means learning and doing better as I go." ~ Jessica
Ally Alert is a monthly series that highlights people, organizations and campaigns who work in solidarity with women and girls of color, particularly around sexual/reproductive health, social justice, and overall wellness, who help to advance equality for women and girls of color, while also sharing what being an ally means for them.
Meet Jessica Luther, my Ally Alert spotlight for March 2013. Jessica is a freelance writer, reproductive justice activist, historian, Texan, romance novel reader and reviewer, tennis fan, and social media maven. When Jessica isn't sharing her views on her blog Speaker's Corner in the ATX (Austin, Texas) or writing about reproductive justice, she is working on her doctoral dissertation, and she serves as the creator and editor of Flyover Feminism, a space for feminists, womanists, and activist whose voices are often left out of mainstream's conversation on important issues.
I've been following Jessica on Twitter for a while now. For a lot of women and girls of color, it often feels isolating and discouraging when we fight to have our voices heard. It also is very tiring to always be on the defensive by explaining why we are raising our voices about something to the mainstream (aka our white counterparts). So, it's not only refreshing and encouraging to see allies like Jessica who are not afraid to stand in solidarity when women and girls of color are under attack, but who are also transparent on their own need to listen and understand more (rather than speak for) in order to become a better ally.
Read more about Jessica, her career and activism, and how she navigates her role as an ally for women and girls of color.
What was a defining moment that guided you onto the career path you're on now?
This is an interesting and difficult question for me to answer because I am not sure what my career path is at this point. I am finishing my dissertation in history but no longer see myself as an academic. I am beginning to do some freelance writing but am unsure if I can make a living doing that. And I am deeply invested in my community and the local politics here and often imagine myself doing a job that will make my town/county/state a better place. Perhaps this is the best answer: I can trace the beginning of my move away from academia toward a life that includes writing about culture, feminism, and justice on a popular level and that includes much more attention to the political landscape of Texas to early 2010 when I first found the feminist blogosphere. I was so inspired that I decided to start my own blog that summer and I haven't looked back since.
As the founder and editor of Flyover Feminism, you and a great team of women are making the voices of feminists and womanists heard in areas that historically have been overlooked within national dialogue on women's rights and reproductive justice due to the belief that change is not possible in these areas. Can you share more about the goals of Flyover Feminism, the name itself, and how you see Flyover Feminism influencing feminism/womanism?
Flyover Feminism is about providing a platform for voices that have been overlooked for whatever reason in Feminist Media. We originally conceived the idea as a geographically-oriented idea: much of Feminist Media is centered in NYC, DC, and the San Francisco area. For those of us living, working, and doing activism in much more conservative places, our experiences are rarely represented. This can be frustrating as the activism that works in more progressive places often does not work here. And what works here may not work in Florida, or Idaho, or outside of the US. We wanted to see if we could start a broader conversation that allowed for more people in a variety of places to be included. Almost immediately upon starting the site, we decided to be even more broad in our inclusion because it is not just specific geographical spaces that are left out of the conversation, there are often specific groups of people, despite where they are located, who are not included in the Feminist conversation: women of color, trans* people, queer and non-binary people, international feminists of all kinds, etc. The name of the site refers to the places that airplanes fly over when they are on their way to their big city destinations. The central part of the US has been called flyover country for this reason. So, we adopted the term to refer to the feminism and activism taking place in those locations. As for the influence of the site, my hope is that we help people in places that may feel disconnected from a larger conversation feel like they have a voice, too. And that we constantly remind people who live in the places that make the most media that there are a lot of us doing amazing work that just happen to live somewhere that doesn't get covered very often.
Additionally, you run the blog Keep Your BS Out of My Uterus, a blog that focuses on reproductive rights news and policy updates. What are some of the ways that you keep up to date on reproductive rights news, and can you share your favorite resources?
The number one way that I keep up on everything is via Twitter. I was for a while trying to keep up with topics with Google alerts or Google Reader but I have found that Twitter is the absolute best way to stay on top of what is happening, especially as it is happening. It took me a while to figure out who exactly I wanted to follow and who would provide me with the kind of information I am looking for but over time, I have found some very solid, informative people and organizations who are on top of these issues. I also use Tumblr, which is where KYBOOMU is located. There is an amazing group of people there who I follow and read. But you can also easily search terms (like "reproductive rights") to see what things people are writing about. The format of re-blogging on Tumblr also allows people to have conversations in a way that Twitter just cannot.
You're also a PhD candidate at The University of Texas, studying the Atlantic slave trade, focusing on the colony of Barbados in the seventeenth century. Can you share more about your dissertation and how you decided on your dissertation topic?
My dissertation, in short, is about the Caribbean island of Barbados, which the English settled in 1628. I focus on the 17th century. Barbados was the first colony where enslaved Africans became the dominant demographic (it hit 75% by 1680) and so it was the first place where Englishmen had to learn to live with, control, and exploit a huge population of black people and then they exported that knowledge to other English colonies. I study how people in this space and while dealing with the newness and forced intimacy of this horrific labor system created ideas about difference and how they maintained them. I came to this topic in an extremely roundabout way. I have always been interested in the history of the body so I knew I would be doing something on that. I had a professor very pragmatically say to me that the Caribbean would be hot soon (like, people who study it would have a good chance of getting a job) and that I should consider centering my dissertation there. I knew I liked the 17th century best, I knew the English empire best, and so I picked Barbados. The more I learned about the island the more questions I had about how people there made sense of everything and I kept asking questions in that vein until I arrived at my topic.
What does being an ally mean to you?
It means listening. It means checking my privilege. It means recognizing constantly that my experience is not THE experience. It means always trying to be as inclusive as possible. It means apologizing when I fail to do any of these things. It means learning and doing better as I go. @FeministGriote says often that being an ally is not an identity, it is a process. And that has affected me deeply. I try to remember that it is not something I can claim but rather something I can live through my choices and actions.
How do you navigate your role as an ally for women and girls of color? What are some key ways in which someone can be an effective ally for women, particularly women and girls of color?
I can't say this enough: I listen a lot. I listen and trust what I am hearing from women and girls of color. I have found that there is no set rule for when you, as an ally, enter a conversation. Sometimes you need to be there from the beginning, being vocal about the issue. Sometimes you need to hear what people are already saying and figure out if you can add to it. Sometimes there just isn't a real space for your voice in that particular conversation and you have to be okay with that. I believe that in order to navigate your role as an ally, you have to be aware that each situation calls for a response that is built not on what *you* think is best but rather what is helpful to those you are actually trying to help. And the only real way to know if you can be helpful and how is to listen before speaking. Don't speak over a woman of color. Don't repeat what a woman of color has said without giving credit. Don't assume that what makes the most sense for you in your world and your daily experience will be universal. And I've found much of this can be accomplished by being willing to listen.
Have you ever had any experiences in which your role as an ally for women and girls of color was challenged?
Sure. I think that if you are participating in the process of being an ally, you have to accept that you will mess up. And that the only way to respond is to apologize and then do better. When we launched Flyover, we were three white editors saying we wanted to be inclusive. We were challenged immediately, which led us to do a call for editors and we added two women of color to the editorial family (and we've even recently added another). I know in the fast-paced world of social media, I have said things on Twitter and Tumblr that were not okay and I was, rightly, called out for it. And while I find each of these moments to be difficult, I am learning to be less defensive, more open to criticism, and more willing to change my behavior. But it's a process.
If you were not on the career path you're currently in, what would you be doing?
Right now, looking at where I'd like to go, I would say that if I could make a living either being a freelance writer or doing something in the field of reproductive justice in Texas (or both), I would do that in a heartbeat.
Given your schedule, how do you prioritize self-care (the practice of taking care of your physical/mental health to preventing burn-out) into your life?
My great struggle. I see a therapist. I take medication when I need it to help with depression and anxiety. I get off the internet. I read romance novels. I hang out with my kid and do art projects with construction paper. I go run/walking with a good friend. I get a drink at a local bar. I watch a little TV. I often don't prioritize self-care until it is long overdue. But since my most recent bout and recovery from depression, I am trying to be better about recognizing the signs of burn-out sooner and really acknowledging them, not pushing them aside.
What advice would you give to individuals who want to become allies for women and girls of color, but are not sure of what steps to take?
I would say the first, best thing you could do is get on whatever social media platform you like the best (I suggest Twitter and Tumblr) and find the women of color who are working on the issues that you care about, be it environmentalism, reproductive rights, urban planning, whatever. It will take time but if you put some time into you, you will find that community. Then follow them. Read about what issues they care about, see what conversations they are having. Listen to their concerns and trust them. If you do this, it will lead you to a whole lot of resources and voices that you probably did not even know existed.
Thanks, Jessica!

Where conservatives differ on morality
While the leading Republican presidential candidates agree on many moral questions — from the divine foundation of ethics to the rejection of reproductive rights and marriage equality — new research suggests that the candidates differ when it comes to the focus their moral concerns.
According to the University of Southern California-run web site Election 2012, USC psychology professor Jesse Graham surveyed 35,000 self-identified conservatives and liberals to gauge their varying moral values (and by extension, those of their preferred candidates). What did he find?
Social conservatives, like Rick Santorum, care more about loyalty to family and nation, respect for tradition and authorities, and maintaining physical and spiritual purity. But libertarians, like Ron Paul, typically don't care about these group-focused concerns. Their central moral value is liberty, according to Graham.
"Santorum has strongly endorsed the group-focused moral concerns of loyalty, respect, tradition and purity, even when politically disadvantageous (supporting government programs for families, going on about gay marriage when most voters care more about jobs). … Ron Paul has embodied the moralization of liberty above all other values, and he too has done so in ways that are politically disadvantageous (supporting legalization of all drugs, urging the dismantling of government agencies that no other nominee would suggest)."
Which leaves us to ponder an important question: is the difference between the Republican candidates' moral inclinations one of degree, or one of kind?
Most give lawmakers poor ethics rating
A record 64 percent of Americans consider the honesty and ethical standards of members of Congress "low" or "very low," according to a new survey from Gallup. The result matches the poll's record "low"/"very low" rating, received by lobbyists in 2008. Gallup has measured the public's perception of ethical standards in various profession since 1976.
To help put this finding into context with other professions, take a look at this chart:
And to help put the lawmakers' rating in historical perspective, take a look at this:
House-approved abortion bill is doomed
In the most recent case of the Republican war on reproductive rights, the US House of Representatives last week approved a bill that would allow federally funded hospitals that oppose abortion to refuse to perform the procedure — even when a woman would die without it.
The bill, known as H.R. 358, would also ban federal funding for health care plans that merely include abortion coverage. This would go a step beyond existing law, which disallows federal dollars from being spent directly on abortions.
(Note: see my previous post on this bill here).
H.R. 358 passed 251-170 after an emotional debate on the House floor. One lawmaker, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), said she once faced a situation in which an abortion was medically necessary.
"I was pregnant, I was miscarrying, I was bleeding. … If I had to go from one hospital to the next trying to find one emergency room that would take me in, who knows if I would even be here today. What my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are trying to do is misogynist."
Fortunately, H.R. 358 is nothing more than an act of political grandstanding. The Democrat-controlled Senate will almost certainly reject the bill, and President Barack Obama has made it clear that he would veto it:
The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 358 because, as previously stated in the Statement of Administration Policy on H.R. 3, the legislation intrudes on women's reproductive freedom and access to health care and unnecessarily restricts the private insurance choices that women and their families have today.
Longstanding Federal policy prohibits Federal funds from being used for abortions, except in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the woman would be endangered. The Affordable Care Act preserved this prohibition and included policies to ensure that Federal funding is segregated from any private dollars used to fund abortions for which Federal funding is prohibited. The President's Executive Order 13535 reinforces that Federal funding cannot be used for abortions (except in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the woman would be endangered) and ensures proper enforcement of this policy. H.R. 358 goes well beyond the safeguards found in current law and reinforced in the President's Executive Order by restricting women's private insurance choices.
If the President is presented with H.R. 358, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.
That is good to hear, but I think most people would prefer if this bill never reached Obama's desk to begin with. If you agree, the best thing to do is send a message to your Senator. You can find him or her by clicking here.

US House set to vote on abortion bill
The US House of Representatives is expected to vote Thursday on a bill that would allow federally funded hospitals that oppose abortion to refuse to perform the procedure — even when a woman would die without it.
From Laura Basset on The Huffington Post:
Under current law, every hospital that receives Medicare or Medicaid money is legally required to provide emergency care to any patient in need, regardless of his or her financial situation. If a hospital is unable to provide what the patient needs — including a life-saving abortion — it has to transfer the patient to a hospital that can.
Under H.R. 358, dubbed the "Protect Life Act" and sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.), hospitals that don't want to provide abortions could refuse to do so, even for a pregnant woman with a life-threatening complication that requires a doctor terminate her pregnancy. This provision would apply to the more than 600 Catholic hospitals governed by the Catholic Health Association, which are regulated by bishops and prohibited from performing abortions.
(Quick aside: how ironic that a bill that could lead to the death of women is named the "Protect Life Act.")
As Basset notes, H.R. 358 would also ban federal funding for health care plans that merely include abortion coverage. This would go a step beyond existing law, which disallows federal dollars from being spent directly on abortions.

"I was hoping these would serve as a replacement for my converse sneakers I bought almost 9 years ago and needed to throw out, but theyre falling apart already after two weeks! The fabric inside the shoe is starting to peel up and heaven forbid if my feet sweat even the smallest amount as you WILL smell it almost immediately. I found myself trying every home remedy, from baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and even putting them in the freezer overnight (sometimes even combining those) trying to get the smell out of these shoes but nothing worked. Im very disappointed as they are really cute shoes but I will be going back to converse sneakers from now on."

Nice, simple style but lacks cushioned support
"I like the simplicity of these shoes. They are great for casual, everyday wear. The profile is not bulky, which allows me to easily wear them with skinny jeans. The black color is not a true black, but more of a dark gray, which I prefer. They are not as comfortable as sport shoes, which makes sense b/c sports shoes have air pockets and are more contoured to your feet. These shoes have a flat sole (hence, sport flat) and no cushion or arch support on the inside. I would definitely rate it 5 stars if it had more support. In summary, the Roxy Ventura Sport Flat has a simple, sleek style, but there is room for improvement in terms of comfort level."

Too dark in the E entrance. Can't even see where to slide your key to open. I hope they fixed it now.
Indoor pool was open til 10pm.
Broken handrails in stairway. Terrible coffee.
Staff are excellent. Good service. Pool is nice. Room clean and adequate. Good location. Good hot breakfast. Free wifi is a plus.
Bed was old and sagging. Towels are very thin and small.
wasn't busy
They clearly did not clean the room. Had two queens and one queen had period stains on the bed. The bathroom had pubic hair several places. Room itself is outdated. Beds are uncomfortable.
Blankets and sheets seemed clean.
Hotel seemed old and falling apart, not in the greatest part of town. We had to PAY for the crib, and lug it up to the room. No elevator.
Pool was open
Hot tube was closed. Room was smaller.
Good for the price clean good parking
Rooms clean and service
Breakfast needs more options
Great spot for overnight on cross country vacation. Seems to be family owned.
the friendly service, the cleanliness, and overall the patience they in my children
the facility was exposed to homeless and drunks, and the parking spots
Gus, our Cocker, was even welcome at the buffet breakfast. Nice!
No designated dog area to walk
Staff were friendly and helpful. Motel was situated near a good selection of restaurants and connecting interstates/roads for sightseeing and onward travel were easily accessible.
The room telephone system was out of order all the while we were there. It had been damaged during a recent storm and was going to take a week to repair. Normally this wouldn't have bothered us but we desperately needed to call someone and it took ages to find a working pay phone in the area.
1. A/C cover kept falling off with a bang. 2. Couldn't get refrigerator to cool, but didn't request assistance. Reported both to the Front Desk upon check-out.
Clean hotel. Quiet even though it was near the railroad tracks. Good place for an overnight stop.
I love the staff.
The breakfast area was not all that great.. It was small, not enough seating for the guest, and the computer office was right with the breakfast area...
WiFi was down
I had my doubts early on, but it ended up being a safe place to stay.
It had this distinct odor in the hallway and room, sort of stuffiness. I think it's contributed due to not not running the AC to keep the place cool.
Called Days Inn 06/27/2014 at 4:45 pm to confirm my reservation for that night. They did not have me registered for a room and we had to find another option last minute after a long day of traveling. I will not stay at Days Inn or use your service ever again due to it not being reliable.
Pleasant staff.
The furnishings are too large and not easy to access, chairs etc.
The location, the price and the quietness though it was in the city limit.
Bed was comfortable.
Shower was too forceful. Filled the tub up and couldn't take a shower. Air conditioner didn't work too good.
comfort and cleanliness with access and price
access to room - upstairs, breakfast ran out of fruit, waffle mix, utensils.
Great bars, good food
They had indoor pool, only good thing.
Room was not up to maintenance, couldn't close bathroom door, each time someone showers, we can hear loudly, sink was horrible, train track near by. We couldn't sleep because the train runs all night. Seems like every 30 minutes. Breakfast was not good. Hardly anything good to choose from. Needed some good night sleep, don't stay there. Also, ask for 2nd story with views. The 2 girls gave a room upstair but the only view was a tree blocking the whole window and it was a corner room too.
The location the cleanliness of the room. It didn't look like it was cleaned for sometime. The towels were horrible the bed was awful. We almost walked out before we stayed overnight it was so pathetic.

John Carew & Hofit Golan: Out Of The Blue
Hofit Golan And John Carew arrive at the Grey Goose Winter Ball, to benefit the Elton John Aids Foundation. 29/10/2011. Image Credit: Getty Images.
John Carew has never been one to loll on the sidelines of snappy and stylish clothing choices. Not when cutoff denim and Fendi murses exist.
So while it's hard for us to guesstimate when Carew ditched this maven of mismatchiness for yet another round of lust/love with socialite Hofit Golan, we realise it's unequivocally impossible for this footballer (and others out there like him) to be out of our league. He's wearing sunglasses at night for crying out loud. The only time a man should ever do that is when carrying a cane.
It's a faux pas that'll forever be way worse than the whole blue-carpet-on-blue-shiny-suit issue that he's forcing. Not being funny, but if your man showed up to a charity function looking like a distant cousin of Willy Wonka, wouldn't you break out the biggest can of whoop-ass in the history of whoop-assings? Kickettes, do you agree that Hofit deserves to win the Pulitzer Prize for Patience & Empathy once it's created in 2018?

Five-star 2016 stud defensive end Prince Sammons was offered by the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday.
2016 DE Prince Sammons offered by #Tennessee#Vols@Volquest_Paul
— Marc Givler (@MarcGivlerBG) June 17, 2014
Sammons is a 6'8″/260 lb strong-side defensive end from Cincinnati, OH (Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy). He's rated as the 37th best player in the nation in 247Sports' composite rankings.
The Ohio native currently has notable offers from Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky and Louisville.
Butch Jones and the Tennessee staff obviously have great recruiting connections in Ohio.
Michigan and Ohio State, although they haven't offered yet, will be the teams to beat for Sammon's commitment.
But if there is a team that could be a wildcard, it would definitely be Tennessee.
The Vols should have things turned around by National Signing Day in 2016. It wouldn't surprise me to see Tennessee become a major player for Prince Sammons.

unsubtlewoods asked:
Howdy, I'm MG Siegler. I'm a general partner at Google Ventures and a columnist for TechCrunch. This is where I collect things.
We don't take so long and make the way we make for fiscal reasons. Quite the reverse. The body is made from a single piece of machined aluminium. The whole thing is polished first to a mirror finish and then is very finely textured, except for the Apple logo. The chamfers are cut with diamond-tipped cutters. The cutters don't usually last very long, so we had to figure out a way of mass-manufacturing long-lasting ones. The camera cover is sapphire crystal. Look at the details around the sim-card slot. It's extraordinary!
unsubtlewoods asked:
I just got one a couple weeks back. Still testing out (iPhone 5s is still my primary, obviously). It seems very fast. The screen is beautiful. The camera leaves a lot to be desired, but apparently they're trying to fix that through software. We'll see.
Short answer: if you care about photography, you probably won't want to switch back. Or if you use Verizon (which I do), you can't. Otherwise, seems like a great device — best Android device I've used yet, though I haven't had too much time with the Moto X.
Anonymous asked:
I think that's fair to some degree. Sadly, we don't have either the 4S or the 5s sales broken out for those years. So we can only guess based on estimates. (Which I'm sure plenty of folks are working on right now.)
The real question is if the iPhone 5c cannibalized any of the 5s sales? I have to believe that the 5c sales are far higher than the 4S sales were last year at the launch of the iPhone 5. It is, after all, a new product versus a year-old one — regardless of the simplistic thought of it being "basically the same thing but with a cheaper plastic body".
Point being, whereas a lot of people are wondering if the comparison is unfair because it's two new products instead of one new one, I wonder if that new lower-priced product is eating into the sales of the higher-priced one far more than it did last year.
End of the day, the bottom line is that Apple sold a shit ton of phones over the weekend.

Hollywood aims to (re)make a difference
Source: @realscreen
#screenwriting #film #documentary
"In Hollywood, are documentaries the new books?
It certainly seems to be the case, given the activity of the past few months. While West Coast studios have had a long tradition of acquiring the rights to remake books as blockbusters, documentaries have recently come to the fore as the new hot choice for real life-inspired screenplays.
At Sundance in January, the two big stories emerging from the Utah festival both concerned doc remakes.
First came the announcement that U.S. pay-TV net HBO and Scott Rudin Productions had acquired the rights to remake Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky's Indie Game: The Movie, a crowdfunded doc about video game developers, as a fictional TV drama – the second successive year the net has acquired fiction rights for a doc, after optioning Ian Palmer's Knuckle in 2011.
Then came the news that 1492 Pictures, the prodco behind box office hits such as The Help and three films in the Harry Potter series, would be teaming up with ro*co productions for a pipeline partnership that would see documentaries adapted into features, starting with Yoav Potash's Crime After Crime.
A few weeks after the festival, remakes hit the headlines once again, when The Weinstein Company announced that musician Sean "Diddy" Combs had signed on as an exec producer for Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin's Undefeated, which looks at underprivileged student athletes from an inner-city Memphis school, and the volunteer coach who steers them through a football season.
As part of the deal, Combs will work on a scripted remake of the doc, which has gained a huge publicity boost after its recent Academy Award win for best documentary feature.
Finally, director Katie Dellamaggiore unveiled details in March of a deal for her doc Brooklyn Castle (pictured, top) at SXSW in Austin, Texas, with Sony Pictures and Scott Rudin Productions signing on to buy up the film's remake rights.
Of course, documentary remakes have occasionally happened in the past – Werner Herzog remade his 1997 doc Little Dieter Needs to Fly as the 2007 movie Rescue Dawn, while actor Drew Barrymore won a Golden Globe for her role in HBO's 2009 remake of David and Albert Maysles' 1975 classic Grey Gardens.
But the recent and sudden charge to buy up doc rights is remarkable. And while non-fiction makers are themselves not above turning to other mediums for adaptations, what is it that's driving this West Coast gold rush?
"There's nothing like a true story," offers 1492 Pictures president Michael Barnathan (pictured below). "There are so many interesting documentaries that get made and either don't get seen or don't get into the right hands in terms of movie people. And something like Undefeated or Crime After Crime is fantastic because it's got a whole arc to the story, which makes everybody's life easier. You have a surer sense of what it is than if it were just a kernel of an idea.
"The other nice thing is that often years of research go into these," he adds. "Working with a documentarian, as we are with Yoav, if they've been getting inside the story, living with it for six years or so and looking for those dramatic turns, then they know it very……………"

Bush Budget Puts Security First
'Lean' proposal trims or ends hundreds of domestic programs
President Bush on Monday sent Congress a nearly $2.6 trillion federal budget that would boost spending for defense and national security while scaling back or eliminating hundreds of domestic programs.
The 2006 spending plan calls for the biggest cuts in domestic expenditures since the Reagan years, but would still result in a $390 billion federal deficit.
Many Americans would feel a direct impact from the president's proposed cuts.
Airline passengers would pay $3 to $5 more each way to help cover the cost of improved airport security.
Train passengers would face higher ticket prices or reduced service because Bush would end federal subsidies for Amtrak. Farmers would lose about $587 million in agriculture subsidies. Military veterans would pay more for prescription drugs.
Agencies targeted for some of the biggest cuts include the Environmental Protection Agency and the departments of Education, Health and Human Services and Housing and Urban Development.
The president called his spending proposal a "lean budget" that funnels tax dollars to the most vital government programs.
Overall spending for discretionary government programs covered by the annual budget process would increase by about 2.1 percent -- slightly below the projected 2.3 percent inflation rate -- but the money would be allocated unevenly.
Programs that aren't related to defense or homeland security would get a 1 percent cut.
About 150 programs would be eliminated or dramatically reduced, but administration officials declined to list them, and Congress is sure to have different ideas.
Bush targeted 65 programs for elimination last year; all but four survived.
However, expenditures for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other so-called mandatory entitlement programs that are essentially outside the annual budget process -- and that constitute about half of all federal spending -- would continue to grow at rates well above most other government programs.
"Our priorities are winning the war on terror, protecting our homeland, growing our economy. It's a budget that focuses on results," the president said at a White House meeting with his Cabinet.
"I fully understand that sometimes it's hard to eliminate a program that sounds good."
The administration's refusal to provide a list of programs slated for elimination was a tacit acknowledgment of the political difficulties that Bush's budget faces in Congress.
Joshua Bolten, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the cuts were necessary to restore fiscal discipline and to achieve the president's pledge of halving the budget deficit by 2009.
"Every individual member (in Congress) will be disappointed about something in this budget, I am sure," he said.
"Overall, I think they understand in the aggregate the need to restrain the federal government spending appetite, and I'm hopeful we're going to get some good support.
"Our expectation is that we're still on a good path. We don't know yet what additional spending is likely to be outlaid in 2006 and adding to the deficit number, but ... a year from now at this time I think we will see that declining path coming true and looking very solid out through the course of the budget window."
Although Bush said he was on track to cut the deficit in half by the time he leaves office, his projections don't include spending in Iraq and Afghanistan beyond this year, the long-term cost of extending his tax cuts or any costs of his plan to let workers divert some of their Social Security taxes to personal investment accounts, which alone is projected to cost trillions.
Congressional Democrats called the president's budget a hoax that masks the true outlook for federal deficits.
"This budget continues the wrong choices and misplaced priorities that have created record deficits and rising debt over the last four years," said Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee.
"By any realistic accounting, the president's policies make the deficit problem worse, not better."

CHELSEA, Mass. — At the end of a grueling practice off a typical NFL training camp, veterans will shed their helmets and shoulder pads, walking off the practice field a bit lighter than when they arrived.
There's a competition for reps in the Patriots [team stats] offensive backfield, but the perceived one-on-one battle could still yield a pair of winners.
From bostonherald.com
For the first time since the 1990s, the backfield won't include Kevin Faulk. It'll be a strange adjustment for many fans, but the team has a fresh stable of backs ready to play a role in the offense.
From boston.cbslocal.com
Training camp starts this week for the Patriots, and expectations are high for the reigning AFC champs. But they aren't just from the outside. The guys within the Gillette Stadium walls expect big things, too.
From www.bostonherald.com
In a piece now posted on ESPNBoston.com, Mike Rodak writes on the Patriots' choice this offseason to fill their roster with veterans, not rookies.
All that's really certain about the team's running game heading into the 2012 season is this: For the first time since 2008, a guy whose name sounds like a law firm will not be involved in it.
WHY HE SHOULD MAKE IT: Edelman has a leg up on his competition at wide receiver because of his versatility. While Deion Branch or Donte' Stallworth, who likely will also be fighting for a spot as a fourth receiver, don't offer much by way of special teams, Edelman brings value to the 46-man gameday active roster by contributing in all three phases of the game. Edelman also offers the closest match to Wes Welker's playing style if the receiver goes down with an injury. In his rookie season, Edelman was a solid fill-in when Welker missed two games. Since then, Edelman has seen his contributions on offense decrease, but has also become one of the team's more valuable special teams players.
One reason these practices benefit the Patriots so much is they are an established program. There isn't a lot of orientation and installation that needs to be done on either side of the ball. Offensively, the quarterback is a veteran, the offensive line is made up of returning players, the skill players have all played in Josh McDaniels' system. The same goes for the defense.
