|The storms blew through Guthrie. We got a lot of hail and rain and I decided to go out and see if the garden was destroyed. The tomatoes are fine, but part of my fence fell down on top of my squash garden. I think its okay, but I'll just have to see tomorrow. The fence will have to get repaired. When things like this happen, I'm glad I'm a renter.
Follow-Up Postings:
|So sorry, Kelly. I'm hoping that the fence didn't sever your squash plants & maybe it even protected them from the hail. :o) Let us know.
|Oh no! I hope your plants are okay. From experience with that nasty little storm last week, even if they're broken up, as Dawn said, just cut off the broken bits. Even if it's just a little stump left, it'll grow back. Ours did. With a vengeance! lol
|Kelly, What rotten luck! I hope the plants aren't too badly damaged.
All that blew down here was the corn....for the second day in a row. (sigh) At least the raccoons may have to work harder to steal the ears since the plants are laying every which way. I'll probably try to straighten them up tomorrow, but some are snapped in half and others are broken off at the ground, so I don't know if it is trying to straighten up the unbroken ones or not.
We had wind gusts into the 60, although our Mesonet station doesn't reflect this because the high winds missed the western part of the county. I have broken tree limbs too but they aren't in the garden lying on top of plants. In town, folks had power lines down, transformers arcing and sparking and trees down. What a year.
TairaKL, Hooray for the plants growing back!
|Sorry to hear about your garden Kelly! Hopefully it's okay under there.
The storms missed us almost entirely, which I suppose is good news for everyone in Norman. I would have liked more than the 0.01" of rain we got, but oh well. At least it has gone from blazing hot to uncomfortably hot thanks to the cold front.
How is our garden? I hope fence might have provided some protection under there. Take care -Chandra

|Sorry about the garden and I hope you don't have much damage. They were predicting high winds and large hail for us, but the core of the storm seemed to get wider and less intense as it got close to us and it also seemed to change directions a little. I took the dog outside and when I came in I told Al that it was horrible hot and felt like the daytime temperatures. About half and hour later, we starting getting some gusty wind and it felt 15 degrees cooler. All of this was ahead of the storm. When the storm hit, we had lots of thunder and lightening and fairly heavy rain for a short time. The end result was no damage at all and a nice half inch rain. I'm happy.
|Geez, if it's not one thing, it's another for you guys this year!
Here's hoping for cooler, less dramatic weather for the rest of the summer. Something about Oklahoma brings out Mother Nature's inner Drama Queen.

|Hi all,
Thanks for the kind wishes. The fence didn't really damage too many plants, but it did beat up one of my two yellow squash plants. I think it will recover. It also severed a heavily fruit laden branch of my garden huckleberry bush. That's a bit disappointing and I felt really sad cutting it off, but it would have died anyway. Everything else is, I think, okay. The repairman came out to fix the fence today and said, "Well, I can fix your fence, but I don't know if I can do it without hurting your garden. You got a nice garden back here." But, luckily, he managed to do it. So, after the ground dries out from the 1.93" we got yesterday, I'll be able to pick more up a bit more and see if things are really as good as I hope.
I think you're right Diane! Oklahoma does bring out Mother Nature's inner drama queen!

|So sad, Kelly! In Cushing we got hit hard, too. I didn't have too many problems, but I sure had a lot of work to do this morning cleaning up the mess.
|So sorry, Kelly! On the bright side, you got almost two inches of rain... we got a few minutes of small hail and .10 inch of rain here in the Village. Pfffft!
- Posted by greenacreslady 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 14:17
That's good that the fence repairman was able to do it without any further damage. It sounds like he was someone who recognized the value of a good garden. We're just a little southwest of Guthrie and we got hail but it was only about nickel sized, quite a bit of it though. I was relieved it didn't damage anything. Sure wish we'd had more rain. There was only enough in the bottom of the rain gauge to show that we got a little, probably no more than an eighth of an inch, if that much.

Boeing's Dreamliner has a week of turbulence
What's the Deal with Conor Knighton
It's been a rough week for Boeing. On Monday, a fire broke out on an empty 787 in Boston. On Tuesday, a 787 flight was canceled after a fuel leak was discovered. On Wednesday, a 787 flight was canceled after an error message popped up about the 787's breaking system.
The high tech plane features an airy cabin, roomy overhead cabins, and high tech windows. But of course, none of that matters if the plane is stuck on the ground. It seems the 787 (also known as the Dreamliner) has become a nightmare.
Two of the Dreamliners affected this week have come from Japan Airlines, and one from All Nippon Airways.
Even with their stock prices wavering and the bad press, Boeing has said that the aircraft is 100 percent safe to fly, and is working to improve reliability. Each aircraft costs $200 million, and the demand for them, for now, is extremely high, so Boeing has a lot on the line.
Are you less likely to book a flight on a 787? Let us know in the comment section below.

As Sonja would say, fresh season, fresh guests, fresh everything!
Following last year's massive house-cleaning, which saw the exits of Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop, the Season 5 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City welcomed three new ladies into the lion's den. But how did the newbies fit in with veterans Sonja Morgan, LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer? And was the show hurting without its former first ladies of drama ready to stir things up? We offer our instant evaluations of the new ladies...read more

Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop will not be returning for the next season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City, the network confirmed — in a roundabout way.
"Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and LuAnn DeLesseps will be returning for season five of The Real Housewives of New York City. We've had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers," Bravo said in statement Saturday, adding, without naming the departed: "It is a friendly departure among the other ladies and we continue to...read more

Las Vegas, Texas, Miami, Mexico, Italy. Yes, the Real Housewives love to travel almost as much as they like a good glass of wine. Almost. Not to be outdone, the New York City cast took the term exotic getaway to a whole new level with a Morocco trip spanning three episodes. Part Sex and the City 2 come to life and part sequel to last year's Scary Island excursion (neither of which we knew we wanted), the Real Housewives of New York City's time abroad was hilarious, dramatic, mildly offensive and — believe it or not — educational! Here are the top 10 things we learned from their trip of a lifetime:
10. Blondes don't always have more fun: This entire season has been Team Brunette (aka Jill, LuAnn, Kelly and Cindy) vs. Team Blonde (Alex, Ramona and Sonja). However, Alex showed her sharp tongue is color-blind when she called-out her teammates for their ignorance throughout the trip. "I love Ramona and Sonja but sometimes they do make me cringe," Alex said within hours of their landing in Morocco. "They didn't care whom they offended." Later, she admitted she was "mortified" when Ramona told...

The Real Housewives of New York City has returned and it wouldn't feel right without castmate Jill Zarin declaring who's she's siding with this season.
"I'm Team Brunette," she told TVGuide.com.
So where does that leave the newly platinum blonde Alex McCord?
"I hate the word 'team,'" she says and reminds us that her closest ally on the show in not a castmember, but inseparable husband Simon.
Downtown denizen Cindy Barshop — single mom of twins and owner of the Completely Bare spa empire — is the latest addition to the Big Apple brigade, and she is so keeping it Real.

dMaintenance is a free portable tool that can be configured to automate maintenance tasks. It can run directly on a pc without installation and can also be pushed out on networks via group policy. DMaintenance can be set to run automatically via Windows Task Scheduler as well.
The first time that dMaintenance is executed it will greet you with a configuration screen. Simply ticking the boxes next to each task will set the program. The program has numerous tasks that can be set to execute, such as deleting history files, cookies, Temp files, correct time settings, clean up internet explorer, defrag, and more. A technician can also configure the program to run third party tools such as cCleaner and Sysinternals applications (must be present on the machine).
You can set if you want a report log and how you want it displayed. dMaintenance can be configured to send you an email with a results log if you wish. Once initial configuration is completed the next time you run the executable it will executed all the configured tasks so the tech does not need to run each one individually. Again, for a true hands off experience, this can be accomplished through task scheduler as well.
dMaintenance can also be branded with your own logo for a fee.
- Run dMaintenance.exe (once configured) to execute all configuration.
- dMaintenance is completely portable, so there is no installation.
- dMaintenance makes no permanent modifications to the system, so there is no un-installation process either.
- To push out via Group Policy/network logon scripts, dMaintenance may be run from a centralized network share and does not have to actually reside on the workstation.

Issue 42, Fall 2006
James Hollis
Jim Hendrickson
With one major exception, the investment industry is in agreement on the appropriate methods and practices for all major performance-related areas. Thanks to GIPS, we agree on how to calculate and report on performance measurement and composites; thanks to Gary Brinson and many others, we generally agree on how to calculate equity performance attribution. The major exception to this industry-wide agreement is in the calculation of fixed income attribution - ask six people the best way to calculate fixed income attribution, and you are likely to get eight answers.
In this issue of the Cutter AdvantEdge, Jamie Hollis interviews Jim Hendrickson on the current state of fixed income performance attribution. Jamie is a managing director at CutterAssociates. He is also the former Chair of the Investment Performance Council, the organization within the CFA Institute (previously AIMR) chartered with administering GIPS, and he sits on the Board of the Institute. He has been involved with performance standards since the early days of AIMR-PPS.
Jim Hendrickson is a senior consultant at CutterAssociates and an expert on fixed income performance attribution. Jim built a leading-edge, proprietary fixed income performance attribution platform for a major fixed income investment firm, one of the first such systems created. Jim now consults to investment firms that are planning to buy or build such systems, helping them to verify fixed income performance attribution methodologies. He also assists clients in build vs. buy decisions and in selecting appropriate vendor products.
Jamie: Jim, what is the current status of vendor products for fixed income attribution?
Jim: There are a number of systems available that incorporate good methodologies, methodologies that are both logical and intuitive. One of the biggest changes in vendor products in the last several years is in providing choices. In the past, a vendor's system offered only that vendor's specific methodology. Now, many of these systems give the user a choice of methodologies. Some even are willing to incorporate a user's proprietary methodology within their systems. In short, many vendors provide the place to implement a solution, rather than defining that solution.
Jamie: What else has recently changed in this field?
Jim: The most helpful development has been greater access to constituent level index data and yield curve data on a daily basis. I should note, however, that few vendors of fixed income attribution systems actually provide this data; the user is responsible for finding a source of the data and populating the system's database each day. To me, fixed income attribution is a data and processing problem, not a conceptual or math problem. All that's being done is analyzing a portfolio's relative bets after the fact with all the returns given by the market, and the availability of the required data is critical.
Jamie: What are the key issues in producing useful fixed income attribution numbers?
Jim: The most important issue to me is getting the underlying risk-free return (typically that of Treasuries) out of each bond's returns. This is consistent with the market practice of quoting yields on these bonds as a spread over Treasuries with a like duration. It also separately identifies the risk-free return and the spread return. This separation is critical to obtaining logical results. The practical problem can be illustrated this way - in a 100 basis point rally, I cannot tell whether a 13-year duration bond outperformed a five-year duration bond until I remove the risk-free return in 13-year and five-year durations.
Jamie: Is there any agreement in the industry on a structure for fixed income attribution, as there is for equity attribution?
Jim: Within reason, yes. Preferences on yield curve analysis can vary somewhat, just as theories of yield curve movements and reshapings vary. That said, my experience is that most people are comfortable with the concepts of parallel and non-parallel shifts and see attribution of yield curve effects in that context. It is also somewhat common to add a butterfly level to the yield curve analysis. Obviously, the analysis and presentation of attribution for yield curve effects should be consistent with the risk presentation at the front end of the investment process; otherwise, it is impossible to tie excess performance back to the manager's decisions.
Attribution of the excess return effect (the incremental return over that of a comparable risk-free instruments) appears to be fairly well standardized at this point. Once the underlying risk-free return is factored out, the analysis of spread return is identical in all ways to equity attribution, using the same allocation/selection models. In my experience, industry practitioners are fully comfortable with this notion.
Jamie: Does fixed income attribution really differ that much from equity attribution?
Jim: Fixed income attribution differs from equity attribution solely in the issue of the underlying risk-free returns. Once the risk-free return is isolated and treated as a separate component, the balance of the attribution analysis - that of the spread return - is identical to equity attribution in both concept and application.
Jamie: Is it possible to have an integrated attribution solution?
Jim: There are a small number of vendors that currently provide both a standard equity attribution capability and robust fixed income attribution capabilities. I would expect this number to increase rapidly over the next few years.
Jamie: How involved are fixed income attribution models with derivative record keeping and performance measurement?
Jim: Performance attribution systems are not involved in record keeping or performance measurement. Record keeping is done by a portfolio accounting system, and performance measurement is done by a performance measurement system. Attribution systems expect to be fed security weights and returns from these other systems. Derivatives flow through attribution as just another security.
Jamie: Attribution systems, and especially fixed income attribution systems, have a voracious appetite for data. What problems are there in obtaining and maintaining this flood of data?
Jim: The major problem with data sourced within the firm is the difficulty of handling historical corrections in prices, returns, positions and transactions. A robust fixed income attribution system will provide tools to assist the user in making the required adjustments. The major problem with data sourced outside the firm, primarily relating to indices, is simply obtaining the data. All of the major suppliers of index data - firms such as Lehman, Citigroup, JPMorgan and IIC (iBoxx and iTraxx) - make constituent data available, but sometimes only to large customers or at a price that is prohibitive for smaller managers. I have sometimes run into a problem with global securities in getting daily returns in the accounting currency, but this can be overcome with spot and forward currency data.
Jamie: Fixed income indices typically have a very long list of constituents. Storing daily information on every constituent in every index, plus every holding in every portfolio, can be a challenge. How has the industry dealt with this?
Jim: There is no way around the fact that this is a great deal of data. Fixed income attribution is just very data intensive and requires a lot of disk space, fast processors and efficient code. On the positive side, once several years have past, the firm has a database with daily security-level returns on indices and portfolios, along with yield curve and currency data. This database will prove invaluable to the firm's quantitative researchers.
Jamie: What should a manager look for when reviewing vendor's fixed income attribution products?
Jim: First and foremost, the product should support a fixed income methodology consistent with the firm's investment process. If you present the portfolio's strategy in terms of parallel and non-parallel shifts, then you should not choose a model that provides attribution in the form of parallel, non-parallel and butterfly shifts. In the same vein, if you think in terms of the Brinson Hood Beebower model, then a system that only provides the Brinson Fachler model would be inappropriate. In other words, the vendor's product should provide information for you to be able to present your strategy to a client and clearly show how the key areas of that strategy affected the return on the client's portfolio relative to the index.
Simply put, that's the job - to tie the bets in the portfolio to the result. The math is simple, as is the concept. The details of implementing the concept, however, can be miserable, and I think it is this that makes fixed income attribution appear so complicated to many people.

On Sunday's True Blood, Russell gets to know Sookie and then makes Sophie-Anne an offer she can't refuse. Lorena struggles with a difficult task regarding Bill. Lafayette and Jason face obstacles in their new flirtations. Jessica and Arlene bond, sort of. Tara resists Franklin's bizarre charms and the rift between Tommy and his parents become clearer.
Now that Sookie, Bill, Eric and a displeased Russell are back at Edgington Manor, the king has an order for Lorena: kill Bill. She's obviously distressed by this turn of events, as it's clear now that she truly loves Bill, but an order is an order.
She pins him down and proceeds to maim and flay him with careful precision. Bill punctuates his own blood-letting by telling her that he wishes he knew her before "he" turned her. Who is Lorena's maker? Did I miss that? It almost sounds like it could be Russell, with his Forrest Gump-like ability to be everywhere in the history of these people (see: Eric's father's murder).
Bill's nice-guy routine is clearly affecting her, but it's not slowing his torture. It's only when Coot and Debbie show up that things pause for a moment, so that Lorena can allow them to feed off Bill. Sookie eventually finds her way to Bill, but a tense face-off with Lorena appears to end badly (see below).
I've always enjoyed Arlene's nervous-Nelly routine, so it's great to see her reaction when a hungry Jessica's fangs emerge at the sight of Arlene's paper cut. Arlene's having a bad day because Jessica has glamored all the customers to be mean to her. But by the end of the hour, Jessica realizes the error of her ways and glamors Arlene's last, finicky patron to be nice — and leave a big tip.
We finally get explanations for a) the Mickenses' shiftiness and b) why Tommy is so battle-scarred, and they're kind of interesting. It seems that Melinda and Joe Lee have been throwing their boy to the dogs, literally. Sam figures it out, and with an assist from Andy about a nearby dog-fighting operation, he's off to save his little brother.
In order to avoid becoming Franklin's vampire bride, Tara has a plan. She sweet-talks him into their future marital bed and while he sleeps, she bashes in his skull with one of the various medieval torture instruments conveniently displayed on the bedroom wall. If Franklin is indeed dead, I'm sad that we won't be treated to more of James Frain's hilarious madness ("You didn't notice that I've shaved!").
Since she knows Sookie is in the house, she telepathically sends her a message that she's coming to get her so they can escape. Tara's plan basically works, until she again crosses paths with a wolf, a white one with shiny red eyes. But fear not, it's just Alcide, one of the good werewolves, and he has a car.
JASON and LAFAYETTE
Cupid was not kind to the men of Bon Temps this week. Crystal and Jason's moon-dappled courtship comes to an abrupt halt when she appears to smell something kind of funny in the air (highly trained senses on that girl, ay?). Later, Jason discovers that not only does Crystal have a fiancé, she's also apparently decided to pretend not to know Jason.
Similarly, Lafayette and Jesus enjoy a nice evening together, first over the Merlotte's pool table and then back at Laf's bizarro pimp crib. Their sweet, chaste date night (they agree not to have sex) goes sour when the meth-head rednecks from last week — one of whom is Crystal's fiancé, by the way — show up to exact revenge by taking a bat to Lafayette's car's windshield. Their presence alerts Jesus to Lafayette's extracurricular job, and he's not happy about his nascent flirtation with a drug dealer. He hops in the car and tells Laf the evening is over.
SOOKIE and RUSSELL
Russell's interest in Sookie continues as the pair sit down over a crackling fire ("it makes everything more dramatic," the king says) to play a game of questions. Russell wants to know about Sookie's powers, and she appears to be totally honest with him. She reveals that her grandfather was also telepathic, but as far as her other powers are concerned, she's just as clueless as he is.
Unsatisfied with his little fact-finding mission, he grabs Eric and they're off to see Sophie-Anne. (Aside: Will Talbot's hilarious disgruntled spouse routine ever amount to anything? I enjoy it, for sure, but where are we going with this character?) Russell assures Eric that they'll take care of his "magister problem," which is good news because: What's going on with Pam?
I love that Sophie-Anne is so bored that a fun night in her day room includes scratching hundreds of lottery tickets. Russell interrupts her gleeful gambling with yet another marriage proposal, one that comes with full forgiveness of all her debts. She refuses yet again, claiming that by framing Eric for the V-dealing operation, she's taken the heat off herself for now. On cue, Eric enters and renounces his fealty to her. Uh-oh.
"I have known some of the finest queens who have ever lived. You, my dear girl, are no queen," Russell says to her, and she realizes she has no choice but to accept his proposal.
Back at the manor, Sookie escapes with Tara's help and locates Bill, who's bleeding out after Lorena's perverse ministrations. Sookie steels herself to fight Lorena to save her fiancé, but the vampiress makes quick work of dispatching Sookie, pinning her to the wall and biting her neck.
What did you think of "I Got a Right to Sing the Blues"? Are you worried about Pam? Which couples are you rooting for? Will Bill die? (Spoiler alert: Of course not.) And do you totally want to attend Russell and Sophie-Anne's wedding?

Directed by Sonam Nair and produced by Karan Johar, Gippi is a movie which revolves around the problems adolescents face. It is a coming-of-age-story in which actor RaQesh Vashisth plays a role of a hot Chemistry teacher.
"This cameo role was earlier offered to Ranbir Kapoor, but he couldn't make it due to his busy schedules. Therefore, Dharma Productions approached me with the same deal. I asked them why me? So they said that I have a screen presence and I fit perfectly in the character they were looking for", says Gippi's chemistry teacher- Raqesh Vashisth who had girls swooning over him in the film. So far, Gippi has roped in a lot of appreciation from the industry and the film and his role has successfully garnered a positive response.
On being asked about his experience, Raqesh says, "Working with the kids was a fantastic experience. The movie was shot in Shimla and I stayed there for almost a week. I used to hang around with the kids, go out with them for lunch and dinner. While I was conversing with them, I realized the kids today are far ahead of what we were in our times. I mean they are so encouraging and have knowledge about everything in this world, from technology to designer clothes, just everything! They actually want to make it big."
After having worked for Sony TV's Hongey Judaa Na Hum, Raqesh is now on a self-imposed break! The young actor who loves to paint, says that he would have loved to be a pilot if he had not been into the acting profession.
Raqesh also talks about his desire to seek good work. "'Being choosy' is not the phrase, though it stands a little correct when applied to me. For me, work is passion and I would love to work in an atmosphere where everybody has utmost dedication and high voltage energy."
The good thing is that Raqesh who was earlier seen in films like Tum Bin and Heroine says he is not inclined only towards Bollywood, "I am open to good offers whether films or television doesn't matter."
Ahh… we wish we could see more of this good looking actor on Indian television.

Electromagnetic Locks
A magnetic door lock is a popular choice due to its simple design and ease of installation. Electromagnetic locks usually do not contain a complex locking mechanism that can fail or become compromised. They can be fitted with entry interfaces such as keypads, card readers, biometric scanners or remote access control systems.
Browse through the catalog in order to discover the wide selection of electromagnetic locks and components that we carry. You will be hard pressed not to find a durable and reliable magnetic door lock system to accommodate almost every access control requirement. Outdoor, indoor, commercial and residential units are available, and you can choose between units that provide anywhere from 200-4000lbs of holding force.
Schlage M490G Electromagnetic Gate LockThe M490G Gate Lock is a weather resistant electromagnetic lock with 1500 lbs. of holding force. It is designed for use on all types of sliding and swinging gates. As a high security magnetic lock it can accommodate misalignment problems while supplying superior holding force. A 1/2˝ compression connector is provided for installation of 1/2˝ EMT conduit, insuring protection of hook-up wiring from weather and vandalism. Heavy duty plating resists corrosion of mating surfaces providing a low maintenance locking device. A modified Top Jamb mounting bracket allows a single Model M490G to be mounted in a variety of positions. The M490G Gate Lock may be mounted to any gate frame or post. Special brackets may be required to adapt the lock to a particular frame or post. It is important that the lock is mounted so that the armature pulls straight back from the magnet face. The M490G can be field configured for either 12 or 24 VDC operation. A lock status switch (MBS) and gate status switch (DSM) are standard. Replaces Locknetics 390G+ Series Learn More$338.75
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Electromagnetic Locks
Ease of installation, maintenance, repair and greater security round out the top benefits of a magnetic door lock. They are very difficult to disable and compromise, and users can select the best access control interface based on their needs and requirements. Most use these locking systems to provide remote access in low to medium security environments. However, there are very strong and durable magnetic latch systems that can be installed in highly secure areas as well.
There are some magnetic latch devices that include a piston or deadbolt for enhanced security, but the majority of products use magnetized plates to lock doors. Every magnetic door lock system is designed to withstand a certain amount of push or pull force before the magnetic seal will break. A lock that is certified with a holding force of 4000lbs will probably secure the vast majority of doors from almost any intrusion. Combine that with clamping jaw features, and these doors can be virtually impenetrable.
However, the fact remains that maglocks can be forced open after the appropriate amount of pressure is applied if they do not include a reinforcing deadbolt or piston. Electromagnetic locks also require a continual electrical current to generate the magnetic forces that create the seal. Power failures can render these locks useless unless they are fitted with a battery or some other back-up power source.
How to Choose the Best Lock
Choosing the appropriate magnetic door locking system depends on the door, the level of protection that you want to achieve and how access control will be facilitated. All of our products are produced by reputable manufacturers and incorporate quality and durable components. These are not cheap items that can be purchased at the corner store, and they are specifically engineered to provide access control for high-security facilities as well as residential properties. Our catalog also includes decorative and minimalist designs that are ideal for residential entryways, windows and sliding glass doors.
You will find full product descriptions, specifications as well as suggested companion components that can add more flexibility to any access control application. Take advantage of the advanced search function to find specific parts and components, and our sales associates can answer questions that you may have about any of our products.
Simplified checkout, secure order processing, rapid delivery and free shipping for orders over $200 are all available to ensure that you get the products you need as quickly as possible.

Stanley Nelson to Receive Full Frame TributeThis year's Full Frame Documentary Festival will honor Stanley Nelson with the annual Full Frame Tribute for his contribution to documentary form through films like A Place of Our Own and Freedom Riders, as well as his work to support emerging documentarians through Firelight Media's Producers' Lab.
"I am thrilled to be honored with the 2012 Full Frame Tribute," said Nelson. "I have been working in documentary film for decades, and I believe that now, in these difficult and tumultuous times, independent documentary films are more important than ever. We need a diversity of voices and vision of independent filmmakers of all kinds, particularly from those communities that have been left out of the mainstream, to tell us who we are as a nation, and where we are – and should be – going. That is what I try to do through my work as a filmmaker and through the Firelight Media Producers' Lab, and that is what Full Frame has shown itself committed to as well. In providing a creative community, an exhibition showcase, and building audiences for documentaries, Full Frame is a rare and critical organization in the field. I'm grateful to be part of the Full Frame family."
Full Frame's 2012 Thematic Program will center on family, with a series of films curated by Ross McElwee. The Full Frame Documentary Festival is scheduled for April 12-15, 2012 in Durham, North Carolina. For more information about the festival, the tribute and Full Frame, go to http://www.fullframefest.org/.

Keanu Reeves has been appearing in movies and TV shows for almost 30 years, since he was 20 years old, so you would think that by now he would understand that as a public figure people will regularly take photos of him. But I'm starting to get the sense that he just doesn't realize it. Maybe someone should tell him! Let's tell him! Whoever smelt it, telt it. Maybe, once he knows, he will decide that life is too short to be concerned with the ravenous consumption of the celebrity gossip community, and he will recognize that out of all the priorities one can choose for one's life, ensuring that your airport baggage claim photos are polished and flattering is very, very low on the list indeed. But that will be his choice to make once presented with all of the information. For now: HELP HIM, GUYS, WHY ISN'T ANYONE HELPING HIM?! (Via TheSuperficial.)

Basketball Legends Revealed #4
This is the fourth in a series of examinations of basketball-related legends and whether they are true or false.
This installment is a re-format edition, so these legends have already been posted on this site, just not in this format.
Let's begin!
BASKETBALL LEGEND: Michael Jordan was cut by his high school basketball team.
STATUS: False
One of the greatest piece of "motivational speech" related to a pro athlete is the story about how Michael Jordan was cut by his high school basketball team. You know, "If Michael Jordan, probably the greatest basketball player of all time, could be cut by his high school team, then you shouldn't let setbacks in your life get you down."
It's a good story.
Now is it true?
Well, first off – "Michael Jordan was cut by his basketball team" is false. Jordan played high school basketball. Obviously. The guy was really good, even in high school.
However many times THAT story gets repeated, admittedly the more accurate "Michael Jordan was cut by his high school VARSITY basketball team" gets repeated just as often.
And yes, Michael Jordan was, indeed, cut by his high school varsity basketball team.
HOWEVER, there is a major major major condition to that "true," and in fact, it's SUCH a major condition that I think it makes the answer effectively false.
Jordan was cut by his high school varsity team at Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. However, he was cut by the team in his SOPHOMORE year, when many kids would not be playing varsity ANYways. In addition, Jordan was not cut because he was not talented enough to make the team. He was – he just was not good enough to play big minutes (do note that Jordan also grew FOUR inches from his sophomore to junior year, going from five foot eleven to six foot three), and the theory is that it makes little sense to have a talented player sitting on the bench on the varsity team when he could be starting for Junior Varsity.
Reader Rhod wanted to know the difference between Varsity and Junior Varsity. A high school main team in any sport is its "Varsity" team – its best players, usually. The Junior Varsity team is the secondary team. Generally, it is made up of first and second year players (freshmen and sophomores). Third and fourth years players (junior and senior) usually make up the Varsity team, because, as you might imagine, juniors and seniors are more physically mature. However, occasionally, a very mature freshman or sophomore can make the varsity team. It is definitely not unheard of for a sophomore player to be a major player on a Varsity team. More often than not, though, the younger players who make it to Varsity for a school with a good sports program are going to be back-ups to the older kids. That was what would have happened had Jordan not been cut by his Varsity team – he would have been a back-up to the older kids.
So yeah, Jordan was cut by his high school basketball varsity team, but not in the way that the story gets discussed, and he was definitely NOT "cut from his high school basketball team."
BASKETBALL LEGEND: The Harlem Globetrotters began in Chicago!!
STATUS: True
It's really amazing some of the marketing ideas that people can come up with, but few people could top the idea by Abe Saperstein of inventing the hometown of a team!
The Globetrotters have been around in some form or another since the early 20th Century, but the team as we know it today was formed as the "Savoy Big Five" who would play basketball before performances at Chicago's Savoy Ballroom (which was named after the famous Harlem Jazz Club of the same name) in the late 1920s.
Members of the Savoy Big Five were organized by Abe Saperstein into becoming a traveling barnstorm team known as the Globetrotters.
However, Saperstein figured that a traveling team would be more interesting if they were out of towners.So he went to figure out a place where the team could be "from," and he settled upon Harlem, because of the great Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. And in 1929, the New York Harlem Globe Trotters began playing!
And the rest, as they say, is history!
The Globetrotters' first "home" game was in 1968, nearly four decades after taking the name!
As mentioned in an earlier legend, Saperstein's only intention with the Globetrotters was to make as much money as possible, this shouldn't be THAT much of a surprise, I suppose.
Okay, that's it for this week!

Feeling very sad today
- 0Sep 25, '99 by maccrn70I work in pediatric oncology. I love my job and there are some days that are so happy. But Friday was particularly sad. A little 2 year old, Logan, has a cancer that will probably not be cured. They are trying a last ditch effort to save his life Tuesday, but it probably is far fetched. It's hard for me to see this little boy who looks so small in his big crib, looking up at me with his big smiling brown eyes. Hands tightly holding his little plastic toy. He looks perfectly healthy, but inside his body is ravaging. The cancer is taking over this tiny little angel. He little hands will soon be still and his big brown eyes will be closed. His chubby little cheeks will soon be quiet, and a set of parents will lose their most precious gift. I think the hardest thing is there is no answer to the question in my mind "Why? Why little Logan? Why this sweet baby boy?" My heart is in my feet. I heard his prognosis and I sank. His parents have to be feeling a thousand times worse than me. They tell you in nursing school not to get attached to your patients. I'm glad I got to know him. I'm glad he is my little pal. I'll never forget him. His little picture-perfect face will remain in my heart forever. It is so hard to love so much. But isn't that what we are there for? I'm rambling. I had a very sad day. But I'm sure there will be happiness for me soon. Miracles happen at St. Jude every day.
2 cute little boys
- 0Sep 25, '99 by Heather27Hi...
Sounds like you have a real soft heart. That is SUCH a good thing! So many nurses get almost immune to death and suffering, since they see it all the time. Pediatrics is SO difficult, because that ISN'T supposed to be the end of the lifetime that is cut off! I think that is part of the reason I chose to work in Geriatrics. I work with the "sunset" of the lifetime. People are SUPPOSED to die when they are old. I think the thing we all need to remember is, that no matter the age or circumstance, we need to make people's last days here comfortable, dignified, and peaceful. We need to remember that there is always SOMEONE else who is affected by the death of their loved one, and keep them "comforted" as well. No matter the age of the patient, SOMEONE has memories about them...they had SOME kind of life experience...They are special.
- 0Sep 28, '99 by MeeganMaggie,
I am humbled by your posting. I work in a chronic dialysis unit where colleagues and i remind myself that we are doing the best we can to help people prolong their lives after their kidneys have failed. They either are transplanted or they die. It must be so hard to work with kids who haven't yet had a chance at living before they undergo the process of dying. My heart goes out to you. It is so important, as Heather mentioned, to let the little boy's survivors know how he effected you just as it is so important for Heather to let her geriatric patients know how they effect her. I applaud you for the work that you do.
- 0Oct 4, '99 by diana daviesHi Maggie
It is hard to stay unattached sometimes isn't it? But you're just human. Now and again a patient comes along that is just slightly more 'special' than usual, although you give them all the same professional and loving care. It is especially hard when you have to be so strong for the family as well. Are there any colleagues you can talk to or a counsellor when you're feeling so bad? Don't view your feelings as a 'failure' to remain unattached, but as a special gift which is part of caring.
- 0Oct 8, '99 by valeriernI am glad that there are nurses like you that can take care of dying children. I don't think I could do it. I have two beautiful "babies" (ages 22 and 21) of my own. They, of course, are not considered pediatric pts. anymore but never the less, they are my babies. Your pain is evidence of your caring. I can only hope that when one of my loved ones needs a nurse that someone like you with the compassion and caring heart is there with them. Bless you and all of your "little angels".
- 0Oct 17, '99 by Poogie719Hello.
It's sad to say but I have quite a few sad days all the time. i'm a new graduate nurse working on a renal unit. i find it to be extremely difficult and fustrating. Everyday I think I'm about to loose my license. What kind of advice can someone give to a new grad nurse like myself.
