10 Things World Leaders Are Thankful For
Why Angela Merkel is thinking of France, Khamenei is grateful for Lindsey Graham, and why China isn't disappointed the United States is back in Iraq.
The United States isn't the only country that devotes a holiday to giving thanks, yet it still feels like a quintessentially American celebration. It starts with a feel-good story about cooperation between the Pilgrims and the local tribes back in 1621, a tale more pleasant to contemplate than the subsequent treatment of the native population by their European conquerors. Most of the day focuses on eating too much -- an art form America seems to have perfected. And what could be more American than a holiday whose date was chosen in part to extend the shopping season and boost the economy?

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The University of Nevada, Reno has a new
The state Board of Regents voted 9-0 Friday to name Marc Johnson
the school's new president.
Johnson has been serving as interim president since last spring
following the death of Milton Glick. A search committee on
Wednesday recommended he take the job permanently.
Johnson has been at UNR since 2008, when he was hired as
provost. Before that he served as agricultural sciences dean at
both Colorado State and Kansas State universities.
Search committee members said Johnson genuinely cares for UNR,
and praised his tenacity while leading the school through difficult
budget cuts.
He received degrees from North Carolina State University and
Michigan State University, where he also taught economics.

Regents offer solutions to primary care shortage
By Jessica Berthold
The Board of Regents approved at its spring meeting a policy monograph which offers several solutions to the impending shortage of primary care physicians. The document, Solutions tothe Challenges Facing Primary Care Medicine, recommends that the federal government:
- Establish a permanent commission to develop a national healthcare workforce policy that would ensure enough health professionals—and particularly physicians—are being trained and educated to meet the nation's primary care needs. As a preliminary target, the College recommends increasing the number of Medicare-funded graduate medical education positions by 3,000 primary care physicians each year for the next 15 years;
- Create incentives for medical students to pursue primary care careers and to practice in areas of the greatest need. Specifically, the College recommends:
- Funding 1,000 awards annually for the next 15 years that would tie new loan repayment and medical school scholarship programs to primary care service at critical shortage facilities;
- Increasing funding for Title VII scholarships and loan repayment programs to allow for an extra 500 awards annually for the next 15 years;
- Increasing funding for National Health Service Corps scholarships and loan repayment programs for an extra 1,500 awards annually for the next 15 years for primary care; and
- Establishing new practice-entry bonuses for scholarship or loan repayment award recipients who stay in underserved communities after they finish their service obligations;
- Enact legislation to let primary care residents defer their student loans throughout the duration of their residency;
- Develop policies that support retention of senior primary care doctors, such as reducing the cost of medical liability insurance for those in part-time practice;
- Increase Medicare fee-for-service payments for primary care doctors' services.
The Regents also approved a second position paper supporting the need to develop new payment models which would pay physicians based on effective and efficient care, not on volume of services.

Is this sculpture 'garbage' or a respectful tribute?
Federal grant of $12,500 financed the Sandwich Street project
Dalson Chen, The Windsor StarPublished: Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Perhaps you've noticed the strange new object in Windsor's west end: A 50-foot long free-standing tapestry of dark and light coloured "beads" woven into a zigzag aboriginal pattern.
But did you recognize the object as a giant replica of a wampum belt?
"We wanted it to be on a monumental scale," said Phil McLeod, a co-creator of the art piece - which has been permanently placed in Patterson Park on Sandwich Street.
Artists Lorraine Steele and Phil McLeod stand next to a giant wampum belt on Tuesday they created out of water bottles in Patterson Park. The piece is not without its critics. Another local artist, Mauro Mavrinac, feels the piece is disrespectful to First Nations people.
Tyler Brownbridge, The Windsor Star
McLeod and fellow artist Lorraine Steele made the belt as part of the City of Windsor's War of 1812 Legacy Project.
A federal grant of $12,500 financed the work.
"Wampum" refers to beads that eastern woodland First Nations people made out of sea shells. The beads were woven into elaborate belts that carried great cultural and ceremonial significance.
McLeod said the piece in Patterson Park follows the pattern of a real wampum belt that the British government gave to its allies the Haudeno-saunee (Iroquois) at the end of the War of 1812 as a sign of respect and gratitude.
"It was a symbol of peace. It's a foundational treaty," McLeod said.
But not everyone agrees with the tribute. Mauro Mavrinac, another Windsor artist, said he considers the new sculpture "offensive in itself, by its very nature."
The reason for Mavrinac's criticism? Instead of beads, the giant belt is comprised of plastic water bottles - almost 3,000 of them, filled with an industrial foam and hung from a frame of steel cable and aluminum poles.
The belt's fringe is made of a material originally used for conveyor belts.
"It's made of garbage," Mavrinac said on Tuesday. "Garbage."
Mavrinac noted that the creation of real wampum was a laborious and painstaking process for First Nations people. It could take an entire day to drill and shape a few beads out of a piece of shell, and a typical belt required thousands of beads.
"It's a lot of goddamned work to make a wampum belt," Mavrinac said. "In any cultural sense, it's a sacred item, so to speak.
"This thing of garbage shows no respect for the culture, no understanding of the culture."
Asked to respond to Mavrinac's comments, Lorraine Steele pointed out that the sculpture in Patterson Park was also the product of much labour.
Months of planning went into the piece. Its design was mapped out with computer software. About 20 people were involved in arranging, assembling, and installing the materials.
"Phil and I did a lot of research on this," Steele said. "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this was done with the utmost respect."
McLeod said the re-purposing of water bottles adds an "ecological spin" to the piece's meaning. "I think First Nations people were great stewards of the Earth, and that's one thing we should be reminded of today."
Cathy Masterson, the city's manager of cultural affairs, said she's aware of Mavrinac's criticisms. "I think, actually, that this particular piece was very respectful," Masterson said. "It was perceived by the community to be an honour."
Tom Dockstader, an elder at Windsor's Can-Am Indian Friendship Centre, was invited to speak at the unveiling of the sculpture earlier this month. "I was more than happy to speak with the folks and bring good tidings from the native community in Windsor," Dockstader said.

"Outlander: is this the next Game of Thrones?"
The Telegraph compares 'genre bending' Outlander, starring Red Hot's very own Rachel McCreath as Mairi, to fantasy blockbuster Game of Thrones.
Take a look at 'Outlander: is this the next Game of Thrones?'.
Rachel McCreath – Outlander
The lovely Rachel Mccreath landed a role in 'Outlander'. We interviewed her and here are the results. I hope you find it helpful.
Congratulations for landing 'Outlander'. Tell us about the casting process, was it different from any other?
I had met with the casting director Simone Pereira Hind about fives times for different characters on Outlander, before I got the part of Mairi. In this time I built up a relationship with her and she kept getting me back for other characters, which was great. In this particular audition I was reading for another character, but I thought I fitted the description of Mairi, so asked to read for her, I did one take and it felt right.
How did you prepare ?
Before shooting I prepared by reading the entire script and as the TV series is based on novels by Diana Gabaldon, I read the first book to have full understanding of the story.
I learned my scene, tried to get to sleep early as the call times were extremely early.
I really researched as much as I could from the time period of the 18th century and prostitution in this time to get an idea of my character, creating a believable back story for her.
I also tried to learn the cast list so I knew who I would be working with. I researched their past work on IMDB so I had a talking point and could see the style of work they had done previously.
Researching the director was interesting as I found she started in special effects and as a Director of photography so expected her to be more technically minded about getting the shot.
I like to research as much as possible to feel prepared as it gives me confidence.
What was it like on set?
On set was quite manic in the morning with cast and crew getting ready. I was lucky enough to get one of the main characters trailer so I was very comfy. The production team couldn't have been nicer, the hair and make up team were amazing really made me feel at ease and gave me hair like a mermaid. By the time I had my costume on I really felt the part. It was definitely the biggest production I have been on with easily 200 crew.
The set looked amazing "The House of Ill Repute" was quite luxurious, clearly we had a good business as the furniture was very posh, it even had a chaise longue.
It was a closed set but even then there was probably 15 crew in the room with us, 2 American producers and the writer of the episode. Everyone was very relaxed and we had fun with the scene. The director Anna Foerster was lovely she had a great sense of humour which relaxed everyone, she gave us the best of both worlds, very technical but also great character based direction and let us play with different deliveries and energy. After the first couple of takes I felt confident to give as many possibilities to play with in the edit.
I tried to listen and learn as much as possible, with Bill Paterson, giving us tips and telling stories whenever he heard cut.
From your time on Outlander, what's the one tip you would give to other actors?
My main tip is to be READY and flexible. Be ready in yourself, be ready to go to set early, be ready to be picked up on time.
Be flexible and adaptable on set to try different possibilities.
Be polite to everyone, whether it's the runner or the producer, everyone is doing their job and deserves the same respect.
Don't get intimidated by other actors, be confident, you got the job. Own it (that sounds a bit too America's next top model sorry.)
Oh and try to have a good breakfast before you put on your corset because you won't be eating a lot once it's on!

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This used to be a great school. Most of the good teachers have left. The school is much to focused on recruitment. This was never the case at Venerin before. So sad to see what is happening to this once beloved school. Not what it used to be.
The school has a few great teachers, they are the gems. A few simply do not know how to teach and a few have lost interest. When you get a gem your child thrives, but if not the year is difficult. The academics have suffered over the years and the priority has become recruitment and "looking good". I also firmly believe EACH and EVERY child should be valued and I find this is not the case. Favoritism of a few is rampant. I am not alone and It amazes me how many parents I hear complain about the same things. Parents opinions are not solicited or valued when volunteered. This school needs to get back to the fundamentals of great teaching and the valuing of each child. This is how you create a love of learning. To fix a problem you must first recognize it, ignoring only works for so long. Venerini needs to reassess their direction and values.
This school has some of the best teachers in the area, but I had a very disappointing experience with there business office and principal. My child attend form 1st - 4th and had very great skills after leaving. There business office has terrible time communicating and following through. I was given a hard time because of there error. They admitted there error and gave me a hard times for 4 months after they messed up. I was tried with multiple attempts to correct the issue. The principal was not very helpful, welcoming, or involved with the children. He was not the best choice for this community. Sad that they could not get it together.
This is a wonderful environment for children to grow and learn. We have 2 children attending in the lower elementary grades. All faculty, staff and administration know each child by their first and last name. Faculty greet each child in the mornings with a positive smile and gracious hello. The school truly is a gem. They ensure that each child is cared for creating a "home away from home". The kids are truly good to each other and demonstrate respect for themselves, their peers, faculty and the school itself. If you have children and are looking for a great education and supportive environment,this should be on the top of your list.
We have been at Venerini Academy for five years now and both of my children are working on a solid foundation for academic excellence! There isn t a high school out there that they wouldn t be prepared for after graduation! Families here are wonderful! Many give of their own free time to help out and pitch in making Venerini truly a diamond on the hill.
Venerini truly is a gem. We were a Venerini family for 15 years - our three children were so much better prepared for their private high schools (Notre Dame & St. John's) than their public school, and many other Catholic school, peers. All three of them were placed into all honors and AP classes. Venerini gives children plenty of individual attention, and both fosters the growth of existing talents and helps to create new ones.
I find Vernenini to be a very understanding and caring enviroment to learn in. The teachers are wonderful. My two sons are very happy there since age 3, they are in 5th & 6th grade now. Choosing Venerini has proven to be a Great Choice!
My older son went here andnow my younger one does. We love the atmosphere, the teachers are incredible.Small class sizes allow for individual attention, which for us is very important at this stage in the childrens' lives. We would like academic curriculum to be a little more challenging to the kids. Excellent overall rating !
We have had 2 sons in Venerini for the last 7 years and are very happy with the education. Great families, caring teachers, small class sizes and individual attention. I echo the extensive parental and family involvement. Would like to have a playground rather than a paved parking lot for the children but this is a trade off. Competitive athletics. Excellent well rounded education.
We love Venerini, currently have one child enrolled and will enroll the younger two when they are ready for kindergarten. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, the program is rigorous, the parents are involved. I was skeptical since I am a public school teacher, but am convinced this private school is a solid foundation for future academic success and an incredible value. One of Worcester's true gems.
As a parent I am very satisfied with the experience my daughter is having Venerini. The school atmospher is warm and welcoming. The classes are just big enough for the children to have the attention they need and the teachers are able to have a better appreciation of the needs of each child. I welcome the discipline and structure of the school. I would encourage anyone to send their child to this school.
My wife and I are very pleased with Venerini. Our son has attended the school for two years and his teachers have all been wonderful. There is a tremendous spirit among the staff, the students and the famalies affiliated with the school. I would recommend this school to anyone - and will be sending our other two sons here when they reach school-age.
I hated school my whole life until I went to Venerini. I am currently a senior in college in MA and majoring in International Business. A key part of my education is my ability to learn foreign languages. I have experience in three languages and I must say that the nurturing environment that I got from my elementary education at Venerini has inspired me to choose this career path. The staff was always warm and welcoming, but at the same time strict enough to encourage you to work your hardest. I remember my days at VA like they were yesterday, and I still look back on the techniques I learned in 7th grade Spanish classes to help me in my Italian classes today! I don't know too many other schools that prepare you for life with the intense curriculum that Venerini offers.
There in no leadership and the teachers that are qualified to teach are leaving. This school is not the only choice in Worcester. You should really look elsewhere.
This school is absolutely wonderful - my child is a 3rd generation attendee, and we are thrilled - not your typical parochial school - a very warm, friendly, attentive, professional, caring staff. The extra-curricular activities that are available are good, but are limited. Usually, these involve quite a bit of parent volunteers. Wonderful community outreach too! The children who attend here benefit from these features, as well as an excellent curriculum, which is not defined by state taxes and laws. I highly expect my child to continue to be a well-educated, well-rounded individual.
I'm currently going to venerini and in middle school. This school has a great academic and you learn so quickly. The teachers are pretty good but I do favor some more then others. My grade is very cliquey. There also are minimum clubs and sports, I hate that. But other then that its pretty good. I know I'll be ready for high school.
venerini academy has provided my child with a wonderful academic experience. My child is able to learn French and take lessons in art and music. The staff is top notch and is able to really forge relationships with the students due to the small class size. I also am very happy with the large amount of parental involvement seen at the school
We love this school. My daughter is in 1st grade and I am very happy with her education, she is reading fluently and loves school. This is all due to Venerini Academy staff. I am very happy.
At the moment I am attending Venerini and I have loved it since I began going in Pre-. At the time I am in the middle school and the only downside is having to wear a kilt! The teachers at the school are wondrful and because of the smaller classes each student learns the subject no matter what their style is. It's a wonderful place for us to make friends especially since you see them all throughout the day even if you don't have the same schedule. I've made some lifelong friends because I've had a chance to really get to know them! It's also easy to get along with the teachers, this year I can honestly say I have least favorites *subjects* not teachers! It's going to be so hard to have to say goodbye to everyone next year!
Venerini Academy provides children with a secure and nurturing academic environment. The curriculum and faculty is excellent throughout the school. Venerini has exceeded our expectations on all levels, primary, intermediate, and middle school. Venerini provides a stable and challenging curriculum during the middle school years that is extremely critical to the social and academic development of each child. The student body is diverse in ways found outside the traditional definition. In addition to being co-ed, it is comprised of students that are equally split from the city and the suburbs. The high level of parental involvement adds to the total educational experience of each child.

Dubbed NOAH
Architect: E. Kevin Schopfer AIA, Riba
Location: New Orleans/ USA
Futuristic architecture will not just be providing adequate space for living and business, but should be capable of generating enough power to fuel different operations that the inhabitants will be carrying out. Three ambitious architectural firms have set out on a task to re-develop New Orleans with a 30-million-square-foot triangular architectural complex on the Mississippi riverfront. Dubbed NOAH, or New Orleans Archology Habitat, the hurricane-proof complex will carry 20,000 residential units, three hotels, 1 million square feet of commercial space and enough space for cultural facilities and offices.
The complex will feature an array of green systems that will include solar panels, wind turbines, water turbines, fresh water recovery systems and a passive solar glazing system. The complex is still under planning, and hopefully the designers will be out to find someone with one of the largest pockets on earth to fund such an enormous project. Eco Factor:architectural complex capable of harnessing solar, wind and water energy envisioned for New Orleans

Red Cloud Park Redo Could Involve Ho Chunk
Among the myriad of park improvement projects in the works for the city of La Crosse is one that could involve another nation. The Ho-Chunk is looking to get involved with the city in a rebuild of the northside's Red Cloud park. Parks chief Steve Carlyon says the park will tell a story once it's all done, showing park visitors how the Ho-Chunk lived 300 to 500 years ago.
Carlyon is also pushing forward with plans to expand the Black River Beach Neighborhood Center as well as Copeland Park. Meanwhile, a $1.7 million revamp of Grandad Bluff park is well underway.
Sewer Rate Increases in La Crosse Likely on Hold
Looks like water and sewer customers in La Crosse will catch a break in the coming year.
Water utility manager Mark Johnson is asking the city council to put off implementing the second of three sewage rate increases. The money from the higher rates was to go to pay for several sewage management projects but those projects just aren't ready to get underway.
Last year was the first of the sewage rate increases that will eventually increase rates about 27% over 2009 levels.

The Word of the Year announcements have begun! In today's News Roundup, we have the winners of two early contests, plus some candidates for next year's contests.
In today's News Roundup: What do Ann Patchett and Steven Pinker have in common? Inaccurate book reviews, apparently. Plus a love note to –gate.
When new words pop up in pop culture, as they do, it never occurs to me to bemoan the state of the English language or the literacy of the current generation. Whether I like a modern coinage or think it's the worstmanteau ever (surely that one is in the running), my initial response tends to be appropriately learned and eloquent, like "Heck yeah — words!"
A dictionary is an editor's best friend, right? This News Roundup: a dictionary's new words, the etymology of pair from another dictionary, and a big anniversary for a third.
Etymological fallacies, colorful phrases, and new words: all in today's News Roundup.
In the same week Oxford Dictionaries announced the inclusion of amazeballs, binge-watch, clickbait and many other new words into its online edition, the Toronto Globe and Mail asked a compelling question: Who is speaking up for Canadian English?
Some weeks, everything I edit is a dream. Other weeks, well …
Last week was one of those "other" weeks. One stumbling block came from papers on the sharing economy. In a sharing economy, individuals and companies provide the use of products and services for less than the cost of owing them. Think of a vacation time-share, and you've got the idea.
Featured Topic: Word News
Word lovers, rejoice! Both Merriam-Webster Unabridged and Cambridge Dictionaries Online have added new words for your reading pleasure. Plus, we have some practical advice on using literally.
Featured Topic: Word Trouble
This week's News Roundup focuses on word troubles: words we can't translate, words we borrow and loan, and old words with a new but controversial life.
The American Dialect Society's Word of the Year (WOTY) for 2013 was prepositional because, also known as because noun and because + noun. If you've been paying attention to online trends, you've likely seen it:
But Iowa still wants to sell eggs to California, because money.—Daily Kos (July 14, 2012)

Reentry Reflection
See 2014 Reentry Reflection Events
Each year, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency and our partners in the Washington, DC faith community convene Reentry Reflection, a period of observance intended to raise public awareness about the challenges facing men and women returning home from prison. We are very pleased to once again join with the National Alliance of Faith and Justice in sponsoring Justice Sunday™ as the kick-off to Reentry Reflection. We are also delighted that Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church is the host site for our 2014 kick-off. Our local faith community has long been a source of support and assistance for our returning citizens.
We have a number of reentry related events planned through the month of February. They include community forums, a conference and an awards program.
On February 8, 2014, CSOSA will host a Women's Reentry Forum entitled Lifetime Makeover. It will take place at Temple of Praise, 700 Southern Avenue, SE, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The Forum will include plenary sessions and creative activities geared toward enlightening, empowering and motivating women involved in the criminal justice system. The public is invited to attend.
We especially hope you will join us at our Citywide Reentry Assembly on Thursday, February 20th, at St. Luke Catholic Church Center, 4923 East Capital Street, SE, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. There, you will be able to learn about our mentoring program and how it has helped to positively transform lives of many CSOSA clients. Mentors and mentees will be there sharing stories about the challenges they have confronted and overcome. Several will be recognized as our Mentors and Mentees of the Year.
We hope that our Reentry Reflection 2014 activities will inspire you to join us in working to help returning citizens come home and succeed. For more information about Reentry Reflection, please visit our web site at www.csosa.gov.

FORT WAYNE – A great conversationalist, incredible writer and dedicated teacher who loathed faculty meetings.
That's how friends remembered Alistair MacLeod, an acclaimed Canadian novelist and former English professor at IPFW.
MacLeod, who taught English for Indiana University's English Department at the IPFW campus from 1966 to 1969, died last week at the age of 77 and was buried in Canada on Saturday.
Despite a somewhat short archive of works, he is renowned as one of Canada's most important writers, as recounted in memorial articles and reviews of his works.
That collection includes fewer than two dozen short stories and one full-length novel, No Great Mischief, which was in the works for more than a decade but won the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 2001.
The inspiration for those stories came from MacLeod's diverse background, which included summer work mining and logging, as well as the tales of those he met, usually at pubs or taverns.
He could get anybody to talk, Mary Downs, a long-time friend, recalled of MacLeod.
She said he would draw upon the stories of others for his own inspiration.
You can tell he was constantly thinking about characters as he talked with people, she said.
Downs and her late husband, Mike, who would go on to teach at IPFW for more than 30 years, and MacLeod arrived in 1966 in Fort Wayne after they finished school at Notre Dame.
The trio became close enough that the Downses asked MacLeod to be godfather to their son Andy, who is director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics and an associate professor at IPFW.
MacLeod was born in Saskatchewan, but many of his stories were located in the far Canadian Northeast or involved people whose lives depended on the sea.
His works, Island: The Complete Stories, The Lost Salt Gift of Blood and No Great Mischief are available at local libraries.
His first published work, a short story titled The Boat, was published in 1968 while he was in Fort Wayne in The Massachusetts Review and the following year in The Best American Short Stories 1969.
John Brennan, who taught in the English department from 1967 to 2007 and alongside MacLeod for the last two years of his career in Fort Wayne, remembered him as someone who was very much his own person and enjoyed the students and staff much more than he did the higher-ups on campus.
He hated faculty meetings with something approaching a passion, Brennan said.
Although MacLeod is best remembered for his writing, Brennan recalls his determination to see as many Komets games as possible and his visits to local taverns to engage anyone he could in conversation.
He loved to put stories in his basket, Brennan said, adding that MacLeod was a great teller of stories and anecdotes he heard.
Brennan said he thought MacLeod was drawn to writing as a way to reconstruct not only his personal past, but also his family's lineage and Celtic background.
Downs echoed that sentiment and said writing was something that came naturally to MacLeod and was something he just kind of slid into.
All those stories and his full-length novel were written without the use of a computer or typewriter, Brennan said.
Al would not even write on a typewriter. He wrote pen and paper and it was more like somebody engraving in stone, he recalled.
Despite teaching at IPFW for only three years, he had a lasting effect on his students, many of whom Brennan said remember MacLeod with great fondness and pride.
At his death, MacLeod was emeritus professor of English at the University of Windsor, where he had taught for more than three decades.
Brennan kept in touch with MacLeod up to the early 2000s, and like so many others whose connections drift apart, always thought he should write his friend to reconnect.
He deserves recognition aside from his writing. He was a great person, Downs said.
Brennan planned to pay homage Saturday evening in a way which he knew MacLeod would approve – with a glass of single-malt Scotch.

Ok, I am graduating with my BS (Economics) in May.
I am looking to reward myself (or get someone -friend/family- to subsidize) a nice new SIG for my gutting it out.
Two questions.
1. (I MIGHT be moving back to California) What is the deal with going to California with a Nevada bought pistol? Can I even own 12 round mags, or do I have to sell them/otherwise get rid of them? How hard is it to get 10rd mags?
2. Can I get a Platinum Elite with black anodized aluminum grips? (Small gloves )
Also, I want to get it engraved to commemorate the event. How would that work with the SS slide?
(The p229 elite dark would be my baby without question if the SS slide is not cutie pie with some engraving (I was thinking just a small engraving of my departments logo and year with maybe some other diploma related stuff... I am proud of my self and it seems like a great excuse to get the lady to agree)

Mostly shot with GoPros, my goal with this was to put the viewer outside the car and in the wash. My GoPro Hero 3+ (Black Edition) did a fantastic job capturing the visuals for this. I used the camera's protune and "raw" white balance settings to capture 24fps footage with a flat picture style. This was key in getting good looking shots for this project as the camera was in a dark environment lit only by extremely colorful LEDs.
Mixed in with the GoPro footage are shots taken from various Delta Sonic locations with my Black Magic Cinema Camera. The footage mixes nicely due to use of protune and "raw" white balance modes on the GoPro.
This was a fun project that spanned the course of a few very cold months during the winter of 2013/2014. Memorable moments include coughing up soap from spending so much time in the car wash tunnel and at one point being just as surprised as a customer when I turned around from mounting a GoPro and saw their car quickly approaching less than 10' from me.
Looking up at a cloud covered sky over downtown Chicago, I packed my things and headed west. 45 minutes later I broke free from the cloud cover and got off the thruway in Elgin, IL. Filmed this from an abandoned Lowes parking lot with my Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Canon 70-200MM f/2.8. This was the first eclipse of any kind that I've seen. My favorite part was watching earth's shadow engulf the moon. Next time I'm going to try and get my hands on a bigger lens as I wasn't able to get as close to the moon as I wanted with the Canon 70-200MM. Also, maybe some gigantic spotlights... the moon became very dark once hidden behind earth.

While driving from Chicago to Buffalo to film a music video I stopped in Oberlin, OH to film my extremely talented friend. He attends the Oberlin Conservatory of Music which is the second oldest conservatory in the United States. We were lucky enough to be able to film in a beautiful chapel on campus. This location was a great background to Bach's Cello Suite Number 1 - Gigue.

Filmed over the course of two days in Buffalo, NY this is the story of a girl named Dirty and her desire to spread her troublesome lifestyle across town. (That's my hollywood description, it's really mostly about sex, drugs, and rock n' roll).
I used my Black Magic Cinema Camera for all of the scenes featuring Dirty. This camera's dynamic range is a shot-saver and maker. It blows my Canon 6D into outer space, but it does have its limits. For example, shooting in tight spaces such as the one where the band plays in the video. Its tiny sensor creates a 2.3x crop factor which in some cases can be used to your advantage, and in others it can be troublesome.
All of the band shots were done with my Canon 6D as its large sensor allowed me to get extremely close with the singer providing intense and sometimes intimate shots. I could of achieved this with the Black Magic Cinema Camera, but I would of literally had to of had my back against the wall and further away from the action.
From the beginning of this project I envisioned it showing some relation to late 1960s blockbusters. Intro titles, loads of grain, and highly saturated shots were some of the more dominant examples of my inspiration.

Tonight at 10 p.m. is the deadline to submit entries for the Top Business Story of 2013 for the Spokane North Idaho area.
Just place a comment here or on the two earlier posts that listed Stories No. 5 and No. 4: They were the rehab and cleanup of the Mead smelter and the renovation of a number of major buildings in the downtown area.
Here's the No. 3 story of the year: The widespread credit and debit card fraud connected to data breaches at Spokane's URM Stores. The grocery cooperative operates as a data transmitter for more than 120 regional stores. At some point in the fall, an unknown hacker got access to secure card data. The impact is still uncounted and no doubt affects several thousand local residents (coming a few weeks before the national credit card fraud connected with Target stores).
The most recent Spokesman.com story on that problem is here.
Later this afternoon, check back and we'll announce three stories of major significance that ARE NOT among the top business stories of the year

How Not To Do Magic vs Mundane
The Illusionist
already has a lot I dislike about it. I dislike the clichéd costume drama device of class disparity = conflict. I dislike how Norton's idea of "mysterious and brooding" means squinting and smirking a lot (leave those affectations to Derren Brown).
The Illusionist's
greatest failing, however, is its total lack of tension.
With a
"maybe magic, maybe mundane"
story, it is necessary to keep the mystical events ambiguous enough to be explained either by magic or by tricks. This is vital if you want to make it a recurring theme to your story.
The Illusionist
fails to do this. The illusions are so complex, they can't be explained by anything other than magic. Even though the movie tries to suggest that there are mechanics and trickery involved, these (WWI era) props would have to be
so implausibly sophisticated, they might as well be magical
. Cursory research tells me that many of the tricks in the film are based on real tricks performed by 19th Century magicians. Perhaps if the film actually recreated those tricks properly, instead of using CGI versions, the audience might have seen how the tricks could be done without magic.
Once it becomes apparent that the illusionist can basically do
with his magic/impossible props, all the tension evaporates. There is no way the Prince can threaten such an overpowered hero. The magic is so flaky and vague, the writers could
Ass Pull
any solution to a problem. Because of this, there is no conflict. There is no mystery. There is no point in feeling concerned for the heroes, because they will inevitably sort themselves out. Unless you have an attraction to smug looking men, I wouldn't bother with this film.

A Sound Delay System for Large Multipurpose Halls
Introductorily premises are listed up for optimum sound technology and sound quality in large multipurpose halls. Essential dates are given on a new large multipurpose hall in the GDR, with a short information of the different main sound systems. A new sound system (DELTA-STEREOPHONY-SYSTEM) is described which works so that coincidence of optical and acoustical directional impressions can be assured and which overcomes the shortcomings of other methods (as intensity stereophony etc.).

Are yams and sweet potatoes the same?
mid-15c., "a kind of cloth made with interwoven gold or silver thread," from Middle French estincelle "spark, spangle" (see stencil). Meaning "very thin sheets or strips of shiny metal" is recorded from 1590s. Figurative sense of "anything showy with little real worth" is from 1650s, suggested from at least 1590s. First recorded use of Tinseltown for "Hollywood" is from 1972.
