text: Hollywood Playbook: Thursday's Top 5 News Items Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 24 Apr 2014 post a comment HuffPo to Jimmy Fallon: Stay On the Plantation, Or Else The Huffington Post wants to pretend the "Tonight Show" audience "Doesn't enjoy" Jimmy Fallon's joke about Hillary Clinton's masculine wardrobe. But if you watch the video, that's obviously not the case. In reality, it is one of those great jokes that at first catches the audience off guard and then causes the audience to laugh because they can't believe he said it. Johnny Carson lived for these moments. -- -- Using the tone of a mother lovingly scolding a child, HuffPo gives Fallon an unmistakable warning that next time they will be questioning whether or not he's a sexist. Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin a "c*nt" and "a stupid tw*t" and remain a cherished member of the Huffington Post's front page contributors. But make fun of Hillary's pantsuits and your career could be over like *that*. 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Director to Helm Remake of … 'Ben-Hur' Variety reports that Paramount and MGM are teaming up to produce a big-budget remake of "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ." Slotted to direct is Timur Bekmambetov, whose only notable credits are the 2008 Angelina Jolie actioner "Wanted" and the 2012 dud "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." "Wanted" is at least watchable, though just barely. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is a spirit-crushing, CGI'd bore. What in heaven's name do MGM and Paramount plan to do to this story? Bekmambetov has shown nothing that in any way indicates he's a promising director on the rise. "Wanted" and "Vampire Hunter" are not "Bound" or "Hard Eight" -- films that showed the moth was waiting to become a butterfly -- not by a long shot. Bekmambetov is a low-rent Paul W. S. Anderson. What are they going to do to "Ben-Hur?" Turn it into a direct-to-video level "300?" Carmela Goes to Therapy: Greatest Television Scene Ever About halfway through the third season of "The Sopranos," creator David Chase drops this scene. It is not only the best scene in what may be the greatest television show in history, it is the greatest scene of any television show. For two-and-a-half spectacular seasons, Chase never intruded into the fictional subculture he created populated with mobsters, therapists too fascinated with them to speak the truth (Dr. Melfi), and a handful of civilians willing to look the other way if they're allowed to play tourist (Artie) or benefit from the criminality without getting their hands dirty (Carmela's parents). Chase has also made us, the audience, complicit. Though repelled by the violence, the racism, the exploitation of women, by this point there is no question we have become just as fascinated as Melfi; watching from afar, sympathizing with these characters, and even vicariously living through them. Then Chase shakes us out of our stupor with undiluted moral clarity: -- -- What makes the scene "the best ever" is a number of things: the writing, the performances (especially Edie Falco - who would win that year's Emmy)… It is also, though, the timing. This is a major turning point in the series that is about to get much darker, richer, and eventually demand we turn against characters for whom we had been willing to rationalize an affection and sympathy. I'm currently on my fourth run-through of "The Sopranos," and as many times as I've seen that scene, it never fails to put me on the floor. A lot of people complained that "The Sopranos" lost a step or two in its later seasons. I disagree. It's a series meant to be consumed whole, not weekly or season by season. This scene is the moral center of the series, telling Carmela and us two basic truths: Tony cannot be redeemed through the small and sometimes charming charities and kindnesses that will always be a part of his complicated character ... and one thing we can never say is that, "you haven't been told." Technicality Ends Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Against Elmo Puppeteer Three accusers came forward claiming Kevin Clash, the voice behind "Sesame Street's" Elmo for almost three decades, sexually abused them as minors. Clash denied the charges but was moved to resign after multiple accusers came forward. Clash won a dismissal based on the statute of limitations. The lawsuits were filed too late. In New York you have six years or three years after you turn 21. The allegations against Clash are in sharp contrast to those against Bryan Singer. Three accusers versus one, so far. Jeff Herman, a Florida-based sexual abuse attorney, is involved in both cases. Netflix to Create Its First Spanish-Language Original Series Netflix is determined to take over the world. And they just might do it. Which means that Netflix will eventually want to be as obnoxiously rich and all-powerful as the other Big Media multinationals. That's why it is so good to see Yahoo, YouTube, Amazon, and AOL jumping on board. I suspect there will be dozens of others, maybe even individual outlets like Major League Baseball and Fox News.

Early elementary students usually enjoy doing sentence scrambles. It's kind of like a puzzle and a writing exercise in one!
The students will sort the set of six cards to make a sentence and then record the sentence on their sheet. The recording sheet is provided in both color and black/white.
There are four different sentences provided two different ways.
The first set has the capital letters and punctuation provided.
The second set has no capital letters or punctuation so the student must make that correction when writing the sentence.

Adobe exec puffs cloud shop: Online features are so 'compelling'... What are they again?
Creative types who prefer to buy Adobe software in boxed format rather than renting it as-a-service will from this month start to miss out on bumper "compelling" features in Creative Cloud, according to a global partner exec. The problem is, so hot are these new add-ons to the web-based suite that Stephen Snyder, veep of global …
Yesterday Adobe asked me to fill out a survey regarding CS6 and Creative Cloud. I told them I had no intention of buying, installing, or recommending Creative Cloud because their software isn't compelling enough to warrant taking out a subscription. For most of the people I deal with, Gimp and Scribus are sufficient for their needs. You don't need Photoshop if all you're going to do is crop a photo.
"Yes, that is hard to do now, isn't it," Snyder told us, "When you skip versions you end up with a mixed work environment and at some point you've got to clean all that up. You can't have some of your workforce on 3, and some on 4 and some on 6."
Christ, the shite that salespeople come out with sometimes.
We've skipped every other version of Photoshop for 10 years and everyone is miraculously on the same version, and always has been. What kind of dipshits does he take his customers for?
It must be terrible
Saying the same rubbish things to people day after day when you know they aren't true, and the only reason to do it this way is purely to make more money.
There was a time when the only application I wanted running under Linux was Photoshop, and yet this was actively discouraged by Adobe.
The whole cloud "fashion" is an excuse to keep users tethered to corporations...
"There are "super traditionalists" he added, but people's buying habits were shifting when it comes to consumer software, as evidenced by iTunes, Facebook and Salesforce.com."
Bullshit. I might buy apps through iTunes, but I don't have to keep paying every month for the honor of using said app. What aholes.
...and not only is facebook free it isn't even software.
You are spot on its a complete BS argument.
There's an anti-blur function in the cloud version? Maybe someone should tell Adobe there's this thing on cameras called auto focus, which doesn't require a subscription. They are in deep sh** if they are targeting the cloud version at people too stupid to work auto focus...
The big problem I guess is camera shake in low light / long exposure photos rather than people not using autofocus.
super traditionalists
Being forced to purchase monthly Adobe's continued development because you can't do any work or access any old work otherwise compared with buying a perpetual license is seen as a bad deal only by 'super traditionalists'?
I would call people who refuse to drop their pants and bend over super smart not super traditional.
Presumably this is the filter known elsewhere as unsharp mask, available in pretty much every graphics application (except paint)...
Re: de-blur?
No -- apparently they've added a "Camera Shake reduction" feature that looks for blur caused by camera motion, as opposed to unsharp mask (or one of the other often-better layer-based sharpening techniques, especially when used with masking layers to only sharpen part of the image) which are just for generic sharpening. There's apparently yet another new "Smart Sharpen" feature but it's not clear if this is useful or not.
See http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html
Of course, none of this masks the inconvenient detail for Adobe that most edits can be done in programs like Lightroom nowadays (including good sharpening), which means I can't be the only person who now only uses Photoshop a handful of times per year, at least for anything other than merge-to-panorama. And this means that upgrading and the full subscription price of $240/year with no option to skip versions is a pretty bad deal. Even if Adobe is sneakily trying to get people to sign up to a 1-year promotion for $120 for the first year, you're then locked in to $240 for every subsequent year. :(
Re: de-blur?
"apparently they've added a "Camera Shake reduction" feature that looks for blur caused by camera motion...There's apparently yet another new "Smart Sharpen" feature"
The new feature does exactly the same thing as the existing "Motion Blur" option from smart sharpen - the only difference is it automatically calculates the direction of the motion its correcting, whereas in non-cloud CS6 you have to select that manually under the smart sharpen dialog.
Its a minor tweak at best, and if that's the best reason they can come up with to subscribe I'm not surprised less than 8% of their userbase has signed up. Adobe must be worried about that, unless that percentage changes massively they'll have to get more than 10x the revenue out of each user over the upgrade cycle just to break even...
Glad I bought boxed CS6 when I did.
Adobe? Does they still exist?
Oh, well, who cares.
38 million vs 1
"The problem is, so hot are these new add-ons to the web-based suite that Stephen Snyder, veep of global channel sales worldwide was unable to name more than, er ...one of them off the top of his head."
I can think of 38 million reasons why web-based is not better...
Data loss OK? No!
If I take a subscription, do you guarantee security of my data. 'Course you didn't. You just lost millions. I will not use your cloud.
It's not web based
Adobe really dropped a bollock here.
CC isn't based in a cloud. All of it downloads to your computer and all your data stays there. CC just phones home once in a while to make sure you're still paying - and it will go (I think) 180 days without a network connection - so that isn't an issue for most people either.
Oh, and the camera shake reduction is really clever. Nothing like unsharp mask.
No, I don't work for or get paid by them.
Re: It's not web based
"Oh, and the camera shake reduction is really clever."
So is the CS6 motion blur option in smart sharpen. I tested both on the same image and the results at 1:1 are identical to my eyes.
Of course both of them absolutely pale in comparison to a properly taken photograph. No matter how clever photoshop is it can't recreate all the fine details that no longer exist in the image file. And with VR appearing in virtually every decent camera/lens these days its hardly a must-have feature for the type of photographers who are used to spending hundreds of dollars on photoshop.
Adobe are going to need something a LOT more compelling than that to get photographers to pay them for the rest of their lives...
Not inhaling here
Adobe really haven't thought this through for educational use. I am already sick of having to change all my teaching resources every time Adobe decide to change the UI or add features. With CC I am not even sure if something has changed until I reopen the software. There are many very useful products in the cloud software, but I will not use it .
When I can buy a key which allows me to install on 2 computers through my employers Work @ Home licence, and next year students will be able to download CS6 for free on their BYOD why upgrade ?
Things Creative Cloud can do that CS6 cannot
Things Creative Cloud can do that CS6 cannot:
1- Have your password stolen by hackers
2 - Lock you out of your software with no notice because although you updated Adobe with your new credit card details, they decided to continue to use the expired card instead. You are on site over a thousand miles from home working on a live shoot with a fast turnaround which makes reactivating the account "tricky". FCP-X saves the day. (this is what happened to a friend of mine)
It's the end
For me at least. As a hobbyist user of Photoshop I've been an Adobe customer since for ever and, to save money, bought only every other release these last few.
Doubtless this behaviour is what riles Adobe. But the subscription model is far more expensive than I can justify for a hobby. My guess is that the same is going to be true for many, perhaps the majority, of private users. So Adobe rather than make more money out of me you've lost a little.
However what will make the difference will be the take-up by corporate customers. That I cannot guess about. So far it doesn't look good but corps. are notoriously slow so maybe Adobe will keep them as CS6 becomes too old to use.
I actually like CC
I'm a guy who needs to use a fair amount of the big Adobe tools like PS, Premiere, After Effects, Audition, and Illustrator. Before CC, I had debated buying either the package or the individual components I needed, but had always balked at the $3,000+ purchase price and then the extra money to stay current (assuming I wanted to stay current).
For my $49 per month, I get everything I need. The crossover point between me being ahead of the game financially is 61 months (3,000/49), meaning that I'm ahead of the game for five years. For me, this is a better deal than having to put out three grand to get what I need.
My analysis would be different if I had already owned any of these admittedly expensive tools. But in my case, Adobe's CC brought them a new customer that they probably wouldn't have had before.

Us "super traditionalists" use MSPaint frankly.

When Teddy Roosevelt was president, reporter Lincoln Steffens came to him with a request: "Mr. President," he said, "I want to investigate corruption in the federal government." And Roosevelt responded in a rather astonishing way, as presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin tells NPR's Steve Inskeep.
Roosevelt gave Steffens a note to carry with him and show government officials. It read in part: "Please tell Mr. Lincoln Steffens anything whatever about the running of the government that you know (not incompatible with the public interest) and provided only that you tell him the truth."
"[Roosevelt] trusted that if you studied something and you investigated it, wherever the corruption may lay, you're better off finding it yourself and then dealing with it," Goodwin says. Her newest book is The Bully Pulpit — a term Roosevelt coined to describe the uniquely powerful platform presidents have to influence public attitudes — thanks in no small part to the press.
Goodwin's book explores how Roosevelt forged a partnership with an iconic group of progressive writers, like Steffens, working under the legendary editor S.S. McClure at McClure's Magazine. She tells Inskeep about Roosevelt's laid-back response to literary criticism, his "barber's hours" with the press and why the bully pulpit just isn't the same today.
Interview Highlights
On the relationship between Roosevelt and the writers at McClure's Magazine
He had real reciprocal relationships with them. He valued them, he respected them, he was a writer — they could criticize him and then he could criticize them, which made the relationship really productive. I mean, I think my favorite story is when "Mr. Dooley," [Finley] Peter Dunne, wrote a review of Roosevelt's memoir about Cuba, and he said it should have been called Alone in Cuba, because it was so egotistical. And then Roosevelt writes him back and says, "I regret to tell you my family really enjoyed and delighted in your review of my book, so now you owe me one. You have to come and meet me. I've always wanted to meet you."
On how Roosevelt related to the White House correspondents of the time, as opposed to the S.S. McClure's writers
He did have regular meetings with the White House [with] whoever the correspondents would have been at the time. In fact he would see them often during the day and had a special hour set aside, called the barber's hour: when he was being shaved they could come in and ask questions. And they said that the person who was doing the shaving had the most miraculous job, because obviously he was constantly turning his head around with gestures — it was amazing that he wasn't cut during it.
But the group that really caught my attention was the group at McClure's Magazine, and what they were was investigative reporters. I mean, what he did, which would be so special if it could be done today, was to allow his reporters maybe two years of research — Ida Tarbell spent two years studying Standard Oil before her famous set of articles came out that essentially produced legislation and antitrust regulation. Ray Baker had a couple years to do the studies of the abuses of the railroad that, with Teddy Roosevelt's help, essentially produced railroad regulation.
On the themes from that time that felt familiar
That's what's so interesting. The echoes of the past, it just seems, are so clear in today's world and that turn-of-the-century world. Because what you had at the turn of the century was a growing gap between the rich and the poor, a growing set of mergers that produced trusts that seemed to be snuffing out the possibilities of small businessmen; you had people moving from the country to the city, you had the pace of life speeding up in ways that it hadn't before, and most importantly you had the big question … what should government's relationship be to the problems created by the age? Roosevelt answered that it should be a positive force, and this was the first time that really the government stepped in to have a real role in the economic and social problems of the age.
On whether reporters ever felt manipulated by Roosevelt
I think sometimes they did, and sometimes he might have felt disappointed in them — Ray Baker eventually turns and goes towards Wilson, Lincoln Steffens becomes more radical, Ida Tarbell had her own disappointments with Roosevelt, but still they all would say he was probably the most colorful, most interesting politician they had ever known, and they knew later in their lives when they looked back on this period with huge nostalgia — I mean, Ray Baker and the other editor at McClure's, John Phillips, would say they just hoped there would be another time when there'd be a generation of journalists who enjoyed what they did, the feeling that they had a mission and a call to change the country. And that's what united them. That was their goal. And he helped them to make that goal — yes, he helped himself with it, too, but they cared deeply about the role of a journalist in informing the country and creating stories that would then move public opinion forward.
On how the relationship between presidents and the press is different today
Two things are different today, I think. One, I think the bully pulpit itself that Roosevelt was able to use, with the help of the journalists, has diminished in power because of the attention span of the country. Because it used to be that when Roosevelt made a speech, all the newspapers would report it in full. When FDR's on the radio, 80 percent of the people are listening to that radio — even in the early days of the '60s, '70s and '80s, when you had only three television networks, a president's speech would be carried whole. Now, with the divided networks, you can only listen, if you want to, to an excerpt of a president's speech — you might hear the pundits criticizing it before it even starts. So I think the bully pulpit has been fragmented.
And at the same time, I think … it seems like journalists must be fragmented in their own ways. Very few are them are getting the chance that the McClure's people had to work on a project for several years; people's attention span is less, they're not reading as they did in this period of time, 20,000, 30,000-word pieces with absolute relish — they couldn't wait to talk to their friends about it — that's all different today. So you worry whether or not that incredibly important role of the journalist to inform the country and educate the country so the facts are at least agreed upon — depending on what remedies, we can argue about — whether that's as easily able to be done today.
So that's why, I think, when I look back on this period, I guess in a way my hope is just that a generation of journalists, just like they wished, can once again emerge with that kind of resource and that kind of mission, because it's critical. Journalism still, in a democracy, is the essential force to get the public educated and mobilized to take action on behalf of our ancient ideals.

After a very long winter, spring time is finally here and it's time to get all of your gardening needs in. Whether you're looking for gardening supplies, annual perennials or shrubs or bird food and pool cleaning agents, Garden World in Franklin Square is your place.
"I go there for everything," says Mary Channix of New Hyde Park. "It has all my gardening needs and is just a short drive away. I'll be going next week to get more stuff to have the garden ready to go."
In business since 1959, Garden World offers everything the average gardener needs to keep their lawn green and their outside property looking clean.
The Village of New Hyde Park adopted its 2014-15 operating budget Tuesday, April 14. The new budget totals $6 million. Last year's budget topped off at $5.8 million.
The adopted budget holds a final tax levy of $4.135 million, a 1.65 percent increase from last year. It's estimated that residents will need to pay an additional $18 per year in village taxes.
The Village of New Hyde Park held off on its decision regarding the possible reopening of the Angry Gnome Pub. New Hyde Park resident John Murnane is looking to reestablish the bar and its two upstairs apartments at 1217 Jericho Tpke.
The pub was devastated because of Hurricane Sandy two years ago. According to village officials, tenants were using "alternative means of heat and air conditioning" which caused a fire in October 2012 after the storm, resulting in two deaths.
"It's a neighborhood bar," said Murnane. "It's been a fixture in New Hyde Park for a long time."
Five New Hyde Park Memorial High School students won $5,000 cash and will share a $10,000 college scholarship after winning Nassau County's annual Comptroller's Entrepreneurial Challenge on April 9 to conceive the best business plan to redevelop the Nassau Coliseum.
Two hundred business students from high schools across Nassau County competed for scholarships and cash awards—more than $33,000 in all.
Two New Hyde Park business men were arrested on Tuesday, April 8 for underreporting gross sales, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced.
DA Rice said Gerard Losquadro, 61 of Garden City and Charles DiMarino, 48, of East Norwich, as the former and current owner, respectively, of New Hyde Park Auto Body Works, failed to remit $149,936.65 in sales tax collected from customers to the New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance from Sept. 1, 2009 to May 31, 2013, according to the DA's office.
The Village of New Hyde Park Board of Trustees held their 2014-15 tentative budget hearing on Monday, April 7, where a proposed budget of $6 million was presented.
The appropriation represents an increase of $160,512 from the 2013-14 budget and a tentative tax levy of $4.135 million, a 1.8 percent increase from last year.
"Working on this year's budget was one of the hardest we've ever done," Village Mayor Robert Lofaro said.
Following her uncontested election last month, trustee Donna Squicciarino was officially sworn in by Mayor Robert Lofaro for a one year term on Monday, April 7.
Squicciarino is the second woman in New Hyde Park's 86-year history to serve as trustee. Florence Lisanti was the first woman to serve on the board, whose term expired in 2001.
"I think it's great," said Squicciarino. "We needed a woman at the table with a different point of view. We have a lot of different perspectives that guide the village in the right direction."
At the April 3 meeting of the Herricks Board of Education, it was revealed that New York State's recently passed budget has allotted a larger-than-anticipated amount of aid for schools; this has resulted in an additional $360,000 for the district to use for its 2014-2015 budget.
According to Board of Education President James Gounaris, the 2014-2015 Herricks budget was already adopted, on March 20; after the surprise boost in state aid, the budget was adjusted and re-adopted at the April 3 meeting, with the additional funds allocated toward restoring some budgetary cuts made to the district in recent years.
Discussion over testing and class size opened a debate on spending at a New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Board of Education work session on Monday, March 31.
The board voted unanimously to reduce the maximum class size for grades 3-6 to 27 from 29 students and to create an additional fifth-grade class next year. These changes will be up for review next year.
Reducing class size becomes a gamble if an unexpected amount of new students transfer to the district mid-year, according to district officials. If a class goes over the maximum, the district will have to hire additional aides.
The Sewanhaka Central High School District School Board adopted the 2014-15 proposed budget last week. The proposed budget total for the 2014-15 school year is $175.3 million, a budget increase of $3.52 million from last year. The tax levy increase is set at 2.1 percent. The budget vote will take place on May 20.
The current projection for state aid in 2014-15 is $29.2 million in the state legislative budget, a slight increase from last year ($27.8 million).
"There was a budget-to-budget state aid increase of 5.2 percent," District Superintendent Dr. Ralph Ferrie said.

Provide recommendations for the identification, diagnosis, and management of ambulatory patients with anemia.The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method was used to develop the recommendations. A literature review of anemia prevalence (based on a search of PubMed for the period 1990 to 2003), etiology, and treatment outcomes was reviewed by a panel comprised of nine physicians (six primary care, three specialists) who then rated 336 clinical scenarios and grouped them into three categories: 'appropriate', 'uncertain', or 'inappropriate'.Performing a complete blood count on a yearly basis was rated 'appropriate' for patients with an underlying chronic condition, for men > or = 50 years old, and for all women with no chronic condition on an every-5-years basis. Specific recommendations were made for five anemia management options (observation, referral, empiric trial of iron, transfusion, and erythropoietic growth factors). Recommendations for observation alone were based on age, gender, and hemoglobin level. Immediate referral to a gastroenterologist or hematologist for a work-up was rated 'inappropriate' in all cases. An empiric trial of iron was rated 'inappropriate' for women over age 40 and for all men. Recommendations on the use of erythropoietic growth factors were based on hemoglobin level and anemia symptoms ('appropriate' if Hb < 9.5 g/dL, or if Hb = 9.5-11.0 g/dL and anemia symptoms were present). Finally, recommendations about transfusion were based on the severity of anemia and the presence of cardiovascular disease ('appropriate' in patients > or = 70 years old and in those presenting with either symptoms of anemia or underlying cardiovascular disease). The recommendations did not address anemia related to nutritional deficiencies, cancer/chemotherapy, or chronic renal failure.Primary care physicians should obtain screening blood counts, perform diagnoses, and manage anemia in patient groups known to be at risk. These recommendations on the identification, diagnosis, and management of anemia represent an opportunity to improve outcomes in ambulatory patients with anemia.

Wind Ensemble Studies/Conducting 3
|Course code MUSI2162
|Units 10
|Level 2000
|Faculty of Education and ArtsSchool of Creative Arts
This course is the third of a three level offering where students will be able to study the historical development of the wind ensemble genre (concert band, military band and symphonic wind band)in particular the skills required for arranging and transcribing for the wind band. Instrumental ensemble conducting will be further developed where students will progress to preparing scores of repertoire that could be used in senior wind programs. A wide listening experience will be encouraged in order to extend the student's knowledge base of repertoire.
Not available in 2015
|At the conclusion of the course students will have
* an understanding of the orchestration and use of instruments in the wind ensemble of the 20th century
* the skills required to arrange and transcribe suitable music for the wind band
* a broad listening experience of music from this period.
* the ability to read and follow more complex scores whether it be full orchestral or wind orchestra scores
* an experience in Field Work where they will be assigned to one of the Conservatorium's tertiary or non-tertiary ensemble to assist with the library and music management aspects of the ensemble.
|This course is presented in two equal halves. The first half will continue in the area of instrumentation and orchestration. The skills acquired throughout this semester will be used to transcribe a major piece of orchestral repertoire which in turn will be used for performance by the University of Newcastle's Wind Orchestra. The second half will be focused on conducting. Scores suitable for Senior Instrumental programs will be used and rehearsal strategies will be discussed in order to build an approach to instrumental direction. The skills that will be acquired in this third offering of the elective will cover further development of baton technique, building greater independence of the left hand in rehearsal and the inclusion of asymmetrical beat patterns. In addition, more advanced score reading skills will be developed along with an understanding of orchestration. The Field Work component will look at aspects of rehearsal and library management. Students will take an active role in this facet of the course and will document their work in a submitted Log Book.

Criticism is great and without it there'd be a lot less motivation for humans to push themselves and keep coming up with better films, better ways of farming, better cars and better air travel, but empty, meaningless remarks don't help anyone. And if the authors of such remarks are being honest, it doesn't help them either.
If you're hot, you're hot. It doesn't matter about your colour, ethnicity or race. But all hell has broken loose this week after US men's magazine GQ has come under fire for its '100 sexiest women of the century' list, which categorises some women according to their race and ignores the heritage of others.
What baffles me is where are the people who should be standing up asking why in this day and age we still rate people based on their looks? Being a feminist isn't about tasting your period, not shaving or hating men. Being a feminist (for me) is realising that you are beautiful, smart and interesting enough and don't need the media to tell you other wise. Being a feminist (again, for me), is about having that confidence to be the best woman you can be, and not hiding behind your vagina, but instead reclaiming your c**t.
Every year for about a month, London gets a lot less funny. Vast swathes of the nation's favourite comedians all flock up to Edinburgh for the month of August. However, a few valiantly stay behind to participate in the ever growing Camden Fringe and one man gallantly at the forefront of this years fringe is James Mullinger.

New York Jets DE John Abraham was supposed to sign a one-year deal for $6.7 million, the average salary of the top five players at his position once he was tagged a
franchise player by the only team that he has ever called home. It was supposed to be just a formality. He did afterall tell the press this in December.
Its only fair. The two-time Pro Bowl, but oft-injured Abraham regularly disappears once the weather turns cold. He doesnt deserve the long-term deal DE Shaun Ellis received earlier this year. The reason? Ellis is dependable and is consistently on the field throughout the season. A sack in October means nothing, and thats when Abraham does his damage.
If its a big game, dishonest Abe is usually watching from the sidelines. During his five NFL seasons, he has only made it through a full season twice (2001-2002). Not to mention Abraham has played in less than half of season twice (six games in 2000, seven in 2003). Add a DWI during the 2003 season and you have a guy who must be wearing some big pants to turn down such a lucrative one-year deal.
With that being said, Gang Green now appears to be exploring trade options before the seriously start to negotiate a contract extension with Abraham.
With a formidable backup in DE Bryan Thomas, Abraham must be dealt. Theres a strong chance Thomas will be starting in Abrahams spot in December anyway. Trading Abraham would allow the team to address more that one need in the upcoming draft. Looking at the depth chart
there are gaping holes at offensive tackle, defensive tackle, and tight end due to the free agent defections of OT Kareem McKenzie, DT Jason Ferguson and TE Anthony Becht this offseason. These positions will undoubtedly be a draft priority later this month along with addressing a dicey secondary that includes 31-year old CB Donnie Abraham a hot and cold S Reggie Tongue and a glass like fragile S Jon McGraw.
This team is built to win now. If they could swing two first-round draft choices in exchange for Abraham to inject more young, promising talent into the lineup, the Jets could be ready for a Super Bowl run.
For argument sake, lets consider the Dallas Cowboys as a potential suitor for Abraham. Head coach Bill Parcells is a perfect candidate to raid the team of Abraham. He drafted him back in 2000 and has one of Abrahams former line mates, DT Jason Ferguson, in his ear selling him on the speed rusher. Parcells is also in a win-now mode and doesnt want to wait around for draft picks to develop. The Cowboys handling of projected quarterback of the future, Drew Henson, is evidence of their win-now mentality. The club invested big money in veteran QB Drew Bledsoe to handle the reins of the starting offense next season.
In return for Abraham, the Jets would receive the No. 11 and No. 20 overall selections from Dallas, in addition to their original No. 26 pick.
At the No. 11 slot, Florida State OT Alex Barron would be a great fit and his addition would sure up QB Chad Penningtons backside for the remainder of his career and allow OT Jason Fabini to go back to his original position at right tackle to finish his career. It could be interesting here if Auburns RB Carnell Cadillac Williams is available. With RB Curtis Martin likely retiring in the next few years, Williams would be primed to handle the workload. Sounds unnecessary with the team just inking former Kansas City Chiefs RB Derrick Blaylock, but he is certainly not viewed as the heir to the throne at the position.
With the two late-round picks, Virginias TE Heath Miller could be a viable option at the No. 20 pick. It is a realistic projection, as the NFL clubs holding picks 21-25 have no immediate need for a tight end. Of course, the draft is a crapshoot and a team like the Steelers could decide to trade up to snag Miller. University of Southern California DL Shaun Cody will be there at 20, if the Jets decide to plug the hole at defensive tackle. Then the Jets could nab Miller at 26.
All of these promising options in exchange for a few quarterback sacks in September. Where can general manager Terry Bradway sign up?

Syntaxis Capital, a provider of mezzanine finance in Central Europe, has boosted its responsible investment credentials with the appointment of Rupert Coull, an expert in environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.
Coull will take on central responsibility for all elements of the firm's ESG policy, as Syntaxis furthers its commitment to responsible investment.
Coull joins the firm with more than a decade's experience in finance. Having initially qualified as a barrister, he spent eight years in investment banking, working for firms such as Cazenove and Merrill Lynch. Most recently he ran a large private equity portfolio at a pension fund which placed a premium on ESG.
Ben Edwards, managing partner at Syntaxis, says: "In line with the growing importance of ESG in the industry, we have continuously developed our firm's responsible investment principles. We are accelerating this process with the establishment of a dedicated ESG officer, and we are delighted to secure someone as experienced and talented as Rupert to fill this crucial position."
