Interdisciplinary Approach to Pain
Interdisciplinary Approach to Pain
The Pain Management Center at University Health Care offers the benefit of an interdisciplinary team approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pain. The team includes highly experienced physicians (anesthesiologists specializing in pain management and other physician specialists), nurses, psychologists and physical therapist. The Pain Management Center also has an active basic and clinical research program to ensure that the most advanced treatment options are available to our patients.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Unless your physician refers you to the Pain Management Center to undergo a specific procedure or series of procedures, you will be scheduled to undergo a comprehensive evaluation.
During this evaluation, members of the multidisciplinary team will conduct a full physical and psychological assessment of your condition, including a review of your medical records, and X-rays. In some cases, supplemental diagnostic tests may be necessary to further pinpoint the cause of your pain. (We will, however, avoid unnecessary duplication of tests wherever possible.) We usually ask that you bring a spouse, relative or close friend to the evaluation.
Once the evaluation has been completed, the Pain Management team will hold an interdisciplinary team meeting to determine whether or not treatment here holds potential benefits for you, and to develop an individualized treatment plan. Following this team meeting, your treatment plan will be presented to you at your treatment plan visit.
Individualized Treatment Plan
The treatment plan developed by the Pain Management team will be specially tailored to your condition and degree of pain, your needs and your personal objectives. Your treatment plan may include a single approach, or a combination of different types of therapies: medical therapies, including both medications and special procedures; psychological therapies; and rehabilitation therapies.

Pets are often regarded with a special level of love and devotion from their owners. When it comes to feeding those furry family members, only the best is acceptable. And the best certainly doesn't include salmonella. That's why dog and cat food manufacturer Bravo issued a recall of several varieties of pet food. [More]
Several Varieties Of Bravo Raw Dog And Cat Food Recalled For Possible Salmonella Contamination
PetSmart & Petco Will Just Say No To Made-In-China Cat And Dog Treats
In the past two days, Petco and PetSmart, two of the country's biggest names in pet supplies, have said they will stop selling pet treats made in China over concerns about the safety of those products. [More]
Purina Lawsuit Claims Blue Buffalo Is Misleading Customers About Its Natural Ingredients
There could be a rather large cat fight on the horizon. Nestle Purina PetCare is suing rival Blue Buffalo alleging the company is lying about the natural ingredients in its pet food. [More]
Some Hubbard Life, Joy, QC+ Dog & Cat Foods Recalled Because Salmonella Is Not Vet-Recommended
Ohio-based Pro-Pet LLC has issued a limited recall of varieties of three of its dry dog and cat food brands — Hubbard Life, Joy, and QC+ — over concerns about possible salmonella contamination. [More]
FDA Proposes New Rules To Make Pet Food More Acceptable
Great news for animals who like non-poisonous food! Fresh on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration's plea for help in solving the mystery of why pet treats imported from China have allegedly killed more than 600 dogs and a few cats, today the agency proposed new rules to protect animal food from contamination from microbes, toxic chemicals, and other scary contaminants. [More]
Stupid Shipping Gang Seals Dog Food Bag With Stickers, Hopes You Won't Notice
Unlike most efforts of the Stupid Shipping Gang, Cheryl's bag of dog food that came from Amazon wasn't comically over- or under-packaged. It was comically over-stickered. At some point, the top of the bag split, and someone sealed it off with "TEAM LIFT" stickers, thinking…the customer wouldn't notice? Yeah, we don't know. [More]
Nonprofit Turns Food Stamps Into Fido's Dinner Because Pets Also Need To Eat
What does someone do when they can't feed themselves, much less a beloved pet? There are food stamp programs for the human population, but seeing a need for owners who can't afford to buy pet food, one nonprofit is trying to keep those dogs and cats in kibble and canned food. [More]
Make Your Own Automatic Pet Feeder With A Litter Bucket And A Pie Tin
Do you have pets who won't eat an entire bag of kibble in one sitting? If so, your household might be a good candidate for an automatic pet feeder. What you might not realize is that you can make your own auto-feeder out of ordinary products that you probably have sitting around the house. [More]
Natura Pet Recalls Four Brands Of Cat And Dog Foods For Possible Salmonella Contamination
It seems like only a week ago that we last shared with you the news of a pet food recall––because it was. This week, a kibble sample from Natura Pet turned up with salmonella bacteria, and the company has recalled a wide variety of cat and dog kibbles sold under the California Natural, Evo, Healthwise, and Innova brand names. [More]
Batches of raw pet food have tested positive for Salmonella, and have been recalled by the manufacturers. Minnesota Department of Agriculture tests found bacteria in 2-pound tubes of Bravo Chicken for both dogs and cats and Turducken dog food from Steve's Real Food. The recalls affect one lot for each respective brand – check out the recall announcements for lot numbers, expiration dates, and contact information for the companies. [via Dog Food Advisor]
Newman's Own Takes Accusations Of Cat Food Recall Really, Really Seriously
Like most Consumerist readers, Richard was out looking for cat food of only the finest quality. The local high-end pet store didn't carry the Newman's Own product that he was looking for, and he was surprised to hear why. The employee told him that it had been recalled and the store wouldn't stock it. This surprised Richard: he hadn't heard about any recalls, so he sent a quick e-mail using the company web site's form. Most of us would assume at this point that we'd hear back from a customer service drone, maybe. Not a staff veterinarian. [More]
FDA Trying To Protect Us From Salmonella By Testing Pet Food
Salmonella is a nasty little pathogen that can get into your home in any number of ways. That's why the Food and Drug Administration has begun testing pet food, treats and supplements for Salmonella in an effort to keep the bacteria at bay. [More]
Buy Cat Food By The Case At Walmart, Pay More
Comparing prices between different brands of canned cat food, Gabe made a discovery at Walmart: it's cheaper to buy individual cans of Friskies cat food than to buy a case of 24 cans. Buying in bulk is supposed to be cheaper for the consumer, but maybe Walmart has imposed a convenience charge for encasing all of those cat food cans in cardboard. [More]
Wellness Recalls Canned Cat Food For Low Thiamine Levels
Wellness is a higher-end brand of dog and cat food that's now even carried at Petsmart. After discovering that some flavors didn't contain enough thiamine (Vitamin B1), an absolutely essential nutrient for cats, the company announced a voluntary recall of all canned cat food manufactured between certain dates. [More]
IAMS Sends Coupons, Free Food When Your Mom Can't Afford Cat Food
Suzanne writes that when her mother was short on money but needed high-quality food for her sick cats, Iams was a reasonable choice but still outside her budget. So she called the company's customer service, explained her situation, and was rewarded. She not only received coupons, but she cultivated a friendly relationship with the customer service reps. [More]
Hartz Dog Treats Recalled Over Salmonella
Don't reward your dog a Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treat from a bag stamped with lot code BZ0969101E, says the FDA, unless you want a potentially confused dog. Hartz says salmonella has been found in at least one bag from that lot, so it's recalling nearly 75,000 bags. So far no one has reported any sick pets, but if you have questions you can call Hartz at 1-800-275-1414. [More]
Kids Could Be Getting Salmonella From Pet Food
No, it's not what you're thinking, parents are not feeding their kids pet food. Instead, a new study finding a link between salmonella contaminated pet food and children posits that the kids might be touching affected animals or their pet food dishes, and then putting their hands in their mouths. [More]
Iams Salmonella Recall Expanded
Iams has expanded a voluntary recall of pet food because it might be contaminated with salmonella. No illnesses have been reported, but better safe than crying than over Mr. Tinkers. Here are the affected products so you can get them off your pantry: [More]

Currency: Barbadian dollar (BBD)
GDP per capita: Purchasing power parity $23,600 (2011,CIA est.)
The island was uninhabited when first settled by the British in 1627. Slaves worked the sugar plantations established on the island until 1834 when slavery was abolished. The economy remained heavily dependent on sugar, rum, and molasses production through most of the 20th century. The gradual introduction of social and political reforms in the 1940s and 1950s led to complete independence from the UK in 1966. In the 1990s, tourism and manufacturing surpassed the sugar industry in economic importance.
Economy – Overview:
Historically, the Barbadian economy was dependent on sugarcane cultivation and related activities. However, in recent years the economy has diversified into light industry and tourism with about four-fifths of GDP and of exports being attributed to services. Growth has rebounded since 2003, bolstered by increases in construction projects and tourism revenues, reflecting its success in the higher-end segment, but the sector faced declining revenues in 2009 with the global economic downturn. The country enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the region. Offshore finance and information services are important foreign exchange earners and thrive from having the same time zone as eastern US financial centers and a relatively highly educated workforce. The government continues its efforts to reduce unemployment, to encourage direct foreign investment, and to privatize remaining state-owned enterprises. The public debt-to-GDP ratio rose to over 100% in 2009-11, largely because a sharp slowdown in tourism and financial services led to a wide budget deficit. (CIA, 2012)

Explosion at site in Latvia halts production at two lines
8:30 AM MDT | April 17, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
An explosion occurred at pharmaceutical company OlainFarm's (Olaine, Lativia) production site at 9.20 a.m. local time today, caused by a toluene vapor leak at the site's nitrofurantoine manufacturing plant, the company confirmed this morning. The facility's windows were blown out by the shockwave following the explosion but operations at only two production lines have been halted. The rest of the company's plant continues to operate normally. Two people were injured in the explosion and have been hospitalized, the company says. OlainFarm has launched an...

text: Left-leaning doc, The Hunting of the President, examines the ''vast right-wing conspiracy'' that Hillary Clinton said was determined to bring down her husband. The film sorts through a cast of characters who allegedly have hidden agendas, but it would be more effective if it didn't gloss over the other side -- most glaringly, the president's now legendary ''I did not have sexual relations with that woman'' sound bite, as well as his impeachment by the House of Representatives. (No wonder Clinton, who speaks at the premiere in the DVD's lone extra, likes the movie so much.)

As it is, a $15 Art of Fighting compilation for the PS2 needs no introduction. Rent it, play it, love it. Even if you don't know about 'em, all the more reason to rent this game out and learn about some SNK treasures. I mean, these are truly classic fighting games.more

We have this one, and really like it:
I also wanted to add, my boys too had a very dry cough, mostly at night. Turns out they have allergies. When laying down, the nasal drip would drop down and cause the cough. We are on Claritin now, ending their 2 wk trial, and it has helped imensely! They would wake up every night with a huge cough attack that wouldn't let them sleep, and now they are sleeping the night. Just something to consider... can be environmental allergies. Talk to doc if humidifier doesn't work.
thank you so much!
btw i like your quote!
how do i copy my ticker/badge to my posts?

The prostate gland is an organ that surrounds the urinary urethra in men. It secretes fluid which mixes with sperm to make semen. The urethra carries urine from the bladder, through the prostate gland to the penis.
With the exception of skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men in the United States. Early detection may result from a blood test called a PSA (prostate-specific antigen), and/or a digital rectal exam. The digital rectal exam checks the rear surface of the prostate gland for any abnormalities. A lump or hardness found during the exam might be a sign of prostate cancer.
There are two main surgical methods used for removing the prostate gland. The first method is called the "perineal" method. An incision is made in the perineum, which is the area between the base of the scrotum and the anus.
The second surgical method of prostatectomy is called the "suprapubic" approach. An incision is made in the abdomen, just below the umbilicus, which extends downward to the pubic bone.
The suprapubic approach allows for removal of the lymph nodes and the ability to perform a nerve sparing modification that might prevent impotence post surgery.
Patients with prostate cancer might require radiation therapy after their surgery. Results depend on the extent of their disease, and the response of the tumor to resection (removal) and radiotherapy.

Our Featured Westport, CT Partner:
Sweet Adoptables
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Westport, CT 06880
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:Northeast
About Our Rescue Group:Our first experience with rescue was when we brought Jessie up from a kill shelter in North Carolina. Our family couldn't believe that they were killing sweet, wonderful dogs like this every day. We decided to do something about it. That was the beginning of our journey into rescue in 2006.
Come Meet our Pets:Sorry, You CAN'T Visit Us - We DO NOT have a facility in Connecticut. All of our dogs (unless noted) remain in the south until they have an approved adopter.
Our Adoption Process:How To Adopt From Us
The first step is to SUBMIT AN APPLICATION found on each dog's Petfinder description. When possible, the next step is checking with your Vet reference. We will then schedule a phone interview with the potential adopter to determine if the dog would be a good match for your family. A home visit is at our discretion. If the match is approved, the adopter will enter into an adoption agreement, at which point we arrange transport for the dog to it's new family. We endeavor to create forever homes for these deserving dogs; therefore, we reserve the right to refuse adoption of a dog if we determine the family is not the correct match for the dog/puppy.

Recently I was participating in a group of entrepreneurs who were discussing how to market their professional services. Many of the people in the room had never marketed anything, let alone themselves. The group leader asked a simple question: "What does marketing mean to you?" The negatives came pouring out: dishonesty, fear that my message will turn some people off, manipulation, I don't like the idea of "packaging" myself, junk mail, obnoxious telemarketers, used car salesmen, unethical. The negatives went on for 15 minutes. Their feelings can be summarized in the following statements:
- "Marketing is a necessary evil to survive in business."
- "I don't want to put myself in the same group as unscrupulous salespeople and obnoxious telemarketers."
- "I'm afraid I'll screw it up because I don't know how to 'do' marketing."
- And the biggest fear of all, "What if I market my services and products and no one is interested?"
In executive coaching, we often reframe a client's statement so that he or she may look at it from a different perspective. Reframing the above statements might look like the following:
- "Marketing is the way I communicate my passion to the outside world."
- "I choose to honor my values and ethics by marketing in the same way I enjoy receiving information from others."
- "Marketing is nothing mysterious, but simply an activity directed at satisfying needs and wants through the process of exchange. I will use my common sense and enlist the help of others to do things beyond my interest and skill level."
- "I am confident that I am filling a stated need in the marketplace."
I have shortened these to four simple guidelines:
- Express your passion.
- Honor your values.
- Use common sense.
- Find a need and fill it.

|Need to know if your idea is doable? Do some market research on the Web.
Express Your
How many times have you made a recommendation to a friend about something you enjoyed? "You have got to see that new movie!" or "I went to the most amazing massage therapist yesterday!" or "A week at that resort changed my life!" It's easy to get excited and convey your ideas with enthusiasm when you're really moved by something. There are myriad things that touch our lives and change them for the better, increasing our sense of wellbeing. We relay stories about compassionate acts. We show off our latest gadget and extol its virtues. We encourage friends to seek help and support them by recommending professionals we have dealt with. All of this comes from the heart-because we care. We are not lying. We have nothing to gain by sharing this information, other than the good feeling that comes from sharing and helping.
Marketing yourself and your business is no more than sharing your passion. You chose your profession for a reason-presumably because you believed there was value in what you do. Focus on that value. Telling your story-marketing your business-is most credible when it comes from the same place that led you to your business in the first place.
Think of a product or service that you really admire and imagine yourself telling a friend about it. What are the benefits you received? How did it help or change your life? Why is this one better than anything else you've tried? Now do the same exercise describing your own business. Detach from the fear of rejection, or the embarrassment of talking about yourself. Try to be objective, and remember the passion that drove you to start this business in the first place.
Honor Your
Product value can be defined as price plus perceived benefit. If the price a person pays is equal to the benefit a customer perceives he is getting, he feels that he got a fair deal. If the price is too low, he might think there is less perceived benefit-that the product is cheap or shoddy. If the price is too high, relative to the perceived benefit, the customer might not waste his money. The goal is to understand the benefit of what you offer and then price it appropriately.
"We will compromise on almost anything, but not on our values, or our aesthetics, or our idealism, or our sense of curiosity."
-Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop
There is another place for the word "value" in marketing. Our personal values are the principles we live by, and a fulfilling career is one where our core values are honored. Ask yourself how your business honors your core values. Are there any aspects of your business that do not honor your values? If so, those are areas that you might want to realign. In order to express your passion fully, there should be nothing that you are "fudging" on or making excuses about. If you do the best you can and honor your values, your business will be more fulfilling.

Defending networks against rapidly evolving threats
Winning with technology and expertise
Sophos | 16 May 2007, 15:00 | Network security | View Preview
Malicious threats such as viruses and spam campaigns now evolve rapidly, often using a combination of methods to spread. Typically, when a new malware threat or spam campaign appears, security vendors react by quickly creating specific virus detection algorithms and new anti-spam updates which detect and counter the threat. In response, virus writers release new viruses as frequently as possible, often distributing multiple strains of the same threat in a short space of time, in order to increase the chances of survival of their creations. Similarly, spammers use a variety of tricks to circumvent specific anti-spam technologies and rapidly adapt their campaigns to beat the filters.
In this continuously evolving threat environment, financial motivation has driven virus writers and spammers to join forces to produce campaigns that coordinate virus, spam, phishing, and spyware attacks. The random vandalism of earlier generations has been replaced by more purposeful criminal activity, with a shift in emphasis away from 'traditional' viruses towards threats designed to steal money, information, or both. Trojans and other spyware such as keyloggers now form the majority of new threats analyzed by SophosLabs - a global network of threat analysis centers.

This is the first of a two volume set which, when combined with Book Two, encompasses over 750 pages and includes more than 5,900 illustrations.
Features of Book One:
It says a lot for this book that it held my interest despite my never having seen a silent serial (and very few silent films, for that matter). I can't imagine how long it took to locate all the photos and other images from the "lost" silent serials. The photos are presented in a very visually entertaining way, with enough variation between stills, posters, publicity pictures, and other material to keep the eye diverted throughout the book.
The text of the book is also intriguing; One facet that particularly interested me was the way in which the silent serials drew on the popular book and magazine fiction of the day in the same way the sound ones drew on comic strips. Arthur B. Reeve (creator of "Craig Kennedy") and others would write novel versions of serials in the same way feature film blockbusters are novelized these days, while serials drew on existing books by authors like Edgar Wallace, G. A. Henty, Earl Derr Biggers, and others. It's an interesting contrast to the sound era, in which serial that were adapted from other mediums generally came from comic strips and hardly ever from a book (The Red Rider and Haunted Harbor being two exceptions).
It was also intriguing to find that actors like Lionel Barrymore appeared in silent serials before the medium became considered a refuge for has-been or up-and-coming actors. Warren William and Constance Bennett are two more interesting names that figure in the serials in this book, but they seem to have appeared in cliffhangers at the start of their careers, not during their heyday like Barrymore.
Congrats to the author on this volume, and I for one can't wait for Volume Two, which (since it will take me onto more familiar ground) I'll enjoy even more.
This fine book has a fine narrative discussing different phases and types of serials both sound and silent followed by an alphabetical listing of silent films. There are close to 290 silents listed with photos, stills, lobby cards and information such as chapter names and stars. Over 65 of these silents capsules feature film frame grabs. The book has plethora of images about 250 are in color probably a like number or more of one color toned print of a black and white photo and there are 1,000 or more black and white images. Certain people made a lot of silent serials and some like Walter Miller, Tom London and Frank Lackteen carried on to sound extensively.
If Dr Stedman's hope was to interest more people in silent serials he has succeeded with me.
The Movie Serial Companion Book One is the first of two books about the classic cliffhangers that thrilled the multitudes during the first half of the 20th century. The book starts off with afive-chapter history of America's film serials that runs for 62 pages and covers both the silent and the sound film eras.The text is easily read, engaging, informative, and insightful. My interest never flagged and I learned many things that I was not previously aware of. For instance, I did not know that most serials had two directors, one shooting while the other prepared the next days work, or one doing location scenes while the other did interiors. Following the beginning chapters of the book is a 225 page annotated listing of the American serials of the silent era. The listing is done alphabetically by serial title. Most of the serials merit at least a full page which includes the date of the serial, the studio, the director(s), a listing of the players, a listing of the chapter titles, a synopsis of the story, and a brief commentary. Each listing is accompanied with numerous stills of scenes from the serial and of the players. Some of the entries also include the one-sheet advertising for the film or magazine covers featuring the serial or its players. Each serial entry averages at least 3-to-4 illustrations. Illustrations are in black and white and full color throughout. All-in-all, this book is obviously a labor of love and a welcome addition to my library. I look forward to the publication of the second book in the series.
The Movie Serial Companion: Book One is only available through mail order from the publisher.

This is the second of a two volume set which, when combined with Book One, encompasses over 750 pages and includes more than 5,900 illustrations.
Features of Book Two:
Book Two is a treasure! With even more info and insights than Book 1 (which is expected, with most of the sound serials available) the sequel is a must-own for any serious serial fan.
After reading about half-way through, I can see that (as expected) the wealth of information for the sound serials is more abundant than what was available for the silent serials.
Great stuff.
While I didn't have too much commentary to offer on Volume One, due to my lack of knowledge of silent serials, I have quite a lot to say about Book Two. To my mind, it is the definitive sound serial reference work. While other serial books, such as Barbour's and Cline's, are primarily personal reminiscences of the genre, Mr. Stedman's is an exhaustive collection featuring basic plot summaries, critical commentaries, detailed cast listings, trivia, memorable images, and chapter titles for each sound serial. The book does not fall into the trap of Weiss and Goldgood's To Be Continued, which offered plot synopses that were dull at best and confusing and inaccurate at worst; instead it offers an account of each serial's basic plot and and gives a whiff of each serial's atmosphere, leaving the reader to wonder about (and, hopefully, watch) the rest of it.
Mr. Stedman's critical commentary on individual serials should be a model for other reviewers; while he makes clear his own opinion of each cliffhanger and has some intelligent and penetrating comments on many of them, he avoids "warning off" people from any serial and finds something interesting to record about every entry, something that might pique a potential viewer's interest. Every serial should be seen at least once, to allow the viewer to make up his own mind about it, and The Movie Serial Companion encourages this attitude, by laying out the basic facts about a cliffhanger and letting the reader choose whether to follow up by watching it or not.
The commentaries, in addition to being non-opinionated, are also well written and informative, containing some trivia that was quite new to me and which will surprise even long-time serial fans. For instance, the book mentions the possible comic-book origins of The Masked Marvel, and is the only serial work outside of Valley of the Cliffhangers to accurately recount the genesis of Republic's Nyoka character, a character so often (and quite inaccurately) ascribed to Edgar Rice Burroughs, on the Internet and elsewhere. There's quite a bit of dry humor and wit to be found in the commentaries as well (I'm still chuckling over the description of Lucien Prival's odd performance in Darkest Africa).
The book's pictures are an interesting and varied lot; the author takes advantage of this newfangled digital age by avoiding over-reliance on the same posters, lobby cards, and stills we've seen on books and on the Internet multiple times, and instead uses many screencaps taken directly from the serials, giving those who haven't seen them a much more vivid sample of the actual cliffhanger. Even the lesser serials have about a page's worth of pictures, and many of the more memorable ones, such as Tim Tyler's Luck, Spy Smasher, and Jungle Girl, have several pages worth.
The book's format is the same no-frills format as the first one, but all this means is that the book is like a sirloin steak burger served on whole wheat bread instead of on a roll--it's the feast between the covers that matters, and what a feast it is. The serial fan community has been waiting for a book like this for years, and it's finally here. Whether you're looking to explore the serial world for the first time, or if you're a long time fan that wants an exhaustive reference tool, you can't go wrong with Book Two of The Movie Serial Companion.
This book is a must for anyone even remotely interested in serials. Every sound serial is listed and it is listed by alphabetical order so if one is interested a particular serial it is pretty easy to find without worrying what studio made the serial. Each serial has a plot summary and commentary and loads of photos many frame snaps from the serial.
The number of frame snaps is astounding, easily several thousand.
This a monument to Mr Stedman's dedication to documenting the movie serial film genre. It's scope is astounding, the knowledge provided priceless and it's documentation of serials both for fans today and film historians of the future cannot be praised enough.
There are certain books I read and reread many times and this has marched to top of my personal favorites. Thanks Bill Stedman for this wonderful work, a crowning achievement and a book to be cherished for the rest of my life.

With their latest release, ZION, it's clear that this group of worship leaders has grown into much more...they are a collective expectantly waiting and preparing for the Kingdom of God before them. At the helm of this prolific group (who has an impressive number of singles and albums to their credit) is Joel Houston. He, along with band members JD Douglass and Matt Crocker, recently caught up with CCM to explain the journey they've been on, the new sound and the things that inspire them all. CCM: Why did you choose the title ZION? JOEL HOUSTON: From the outset, I felt like this was going to be a project that spoke simply and decisively of the story of God...of the sense of purpose and mission that comes from realizing where we fit in that picture. I'm convinced that we are not only redeemed, but we are redeemed and called into the story of God with a specific plan and purpose. This is why we undertook this project in the first place; not to just add another CCMMagazine.coM

DURHAM The 2013 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival will celebrate the work of filmmaker Jessica Yu during its thematic program and tribute.
The program will also examine the intersections of truth and storytelling with a series of films curated by filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev.
The festival will honor Yu with the Full Frame Tribute and will feature a retrospective of her work. Yu is a director of documentaries and scripted films.
"Full Frame has become an oasis for documentary filmmakers and audiences," Yu said.
She won an Oscar for Best Documentary Short for "Breathing Lessons" (1996), a film about Mark O'Brien, a poet confined to an iron lung. Her latest film for Participant Media, "Last Call at the Oasis" (2011), is a chronicle of the water crisis.
Her documentaries include the award-winning features "Protagonist" (2007), "In the Realms of the Unreal" (2004), HBO's "The Living Museum" (1998), and the shorts "Meet Mr. Toilet" (2012) and "The Kinda Sutra" (2009).
Bar-Lev directed the documentary films "Fighter" (2001), "My Kid Could Paint That" (2007) and "The Tillman Story" (2010). He co-produced the documentary "Trouble the Water" (2008), which won the 2008 Full Frame Grand Jury Award and was a 2009 Academy Award nominee. Bar-Lev is currently directing "Happy Valley," about the Penn State scandal.
"Attending Full Frame, what always inspires me most is the infinite variety of approaches to storytelling," Bar-Lev said in a statement. "Every documentary is a unique, thorny relationship – between filmmaker and 'character,' fact and representation, reality and story."
"With this year's thematic program, I wanted to address the tension between truth and perspective," said director of programming Sadie Tillery. "What happens when one person's impression of events is at odds with the facts on the ground? I am particularly interested in films that give equal weight to, or even attempt to reconcile, different notions of truth. Amir Bar-Lev brings distinct experience and insight to this exploration. I'm thrilled to be working with him."
Both Yu and Bar-Lev will attend the festival.

Griffin Announces the 'Second Pitcher' of the 'Sweet Tea with Tim' Listening Tour
LITTLE ROCK – Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) announced the launch of another "Sweet Tea with Tim" listening tour, calling it the "Second Pitcher:"
"Last month's 'Sweet Tea with Tim' listening tour was a huge success. I was able to hear from constituents from all over the Second Congressional District. Many people said they enjoyed this format more than traditional town halls because they were able to speak with me one-on-one. Because of that success, we're launching our 'Second Pitcher' tour so that folks who may not have been able to make it before can still have a glass of sweet (or unsweetened) tea and discuss issues important to them."
Throughout the month of September, Rep. Tim Griffin hosted nearly a dozen "Sweet Tea with Tim" listening tour events, visiting every county in the Second Congressional District. Just like the first tour, the Second Pitcher will allow Arkansans to share their thoughts directly with him and learn more about his work in Congress. These events are free and open to the public.
Rep. Griffin is always available to meet with constituents whenever it is convenient for them. If someone is unable to make any of these tour events, they are encouraged to contact his office about scheduling an appointment by calling (501) 324-5941 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Great inspiration, Joe. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Joe, thank you for the thank you and the kind words. BTW, I can picture your work as as ripe for being adapted for film. Keep us posted on that front.Delete
I heard or read that Stephen King threw away his first draft of 'Carrie,' which his wife found, read, liked and asked why he threw it away, he replied because it's terrible, no one would want to read it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Mark, I've heard the same thing, and if you look at the state of the industry at that point in time you can see why he might have felt that way. I think what he may have meant (assuming the truth of the story) is that no one would want to PUBLISH it, as opposed to read it. Big difference!Delete
Though people (including myself) don't always think of it, it is hard to quibble with the proposition that without Tabitha King there wouldn't have been a "STEPHEN KING." Thanks for sparking the reminder.
This was true, at least according to Stephen King. It was in his memoir book, On Writing. He also acknowledges that Tabitha King is responsible for retrieving and encouraging him to publish Carrie. Goes to show you what the love of a good woman can do! :)Delete
Oh, Rebecca, that was the least of what she's done. Tabitha walked the plank and set up an intervention for King when his drinking tipped over from recreational to regular (I believe that was in ON WRITING as well) and, following his long recovery from that near-fatal accident, set up his writing space better than it was before. Everyone who ever read and enjoyed a King novel should genuflect in her direction.Delete
Thank you, Mr. Hartlaub. I second Mr. Moore's post. I'm still writing, and your posts help.ReplyDelete
Lance, thank you. You're too kind. We all here look forward to reading your efforts one day.ReplyDelete
Martin fans in Texas might be interested in seeing the exhibit of his memorabilia at Cushing Library at Texas A&M: manuscripts with notes, prototypes of props used in the shows, correspondence, etc. He was involved in Aggiecon, one of oldest and largest sci fi and fantasy conferences in the country, many years ago. (Texas A&M has one of the world's best sci fi collections.)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Annk! This sounds interesting and while I don't read GRRM's later work I still pull out his vintage stories every so often. This might be worth a road trip!Delete
As my friend from New York would put it: "Yuh, nevah know, Jimmy"ReplyDelete
I've never watched Game of Thrones and never will. Still, "YNK." And here's my takeaway for the old Quote Box:
"If you have an idea inside of you that's screaming to get out, don't let your inner gatekeeper hold it prisoner."
-- JOE HARTLAUB - You Never Know on The KillZone 04/26/2014Replies
Adam, I'm honored that you would include my in your quote box. I have one on my own full to bursting which includes several offerings from all of my buds here at TKZ. Thank you!Delete
Wow. Thank you for posting that info, Annk!! I've been in Texas for decades and never knew that! Must go check it out now.ReplyDelete
Also thanks for a very inspiring blog, Mr Hartlaub. So very true, all around.
Martin is a poster child for this wave of novels-spawning-TV series-and-movies.
"Accidental" success like his is why I am looking very specifically for an agent who can understand contractual specification on media/movie rights. I don't want to get left out in the cold when some director picks up my brainchild and does horrible things to it!
Has anyone written a piece on the struggle of finding information and/or agents who are savvy to those kinds of details in contracts?Replies
Cyn, I don't recall if anyone has done a piece specifically on this topic, but I can tell you that it is extremely difficult for a author to maintain effective creative control over an intellectual property once the film rights have been picked up. Robert B. Parker once described the process as similar to selling your house; you can't drive by the place three months later and say, "You can't paint it blue." Or, for that matter, that Tom Cruise can't play the lead role. What I'd recommend that you do is choose your battles. If there is some specific element of your work that you absolutely feel must be in the film, ask that a clause to that effect --that is, preserving that element in any final cut --- be included in the agreement. If its absence is a dealbreaker for you, so be it. Keep in mind, however, that the presence of such a clause may be a dealbreaker for the filmmaker, who will have their own unique vision of the house which will be built on the lot that you labored mightily over hour by hour, day by day, grading and shaping until you got it just right. Good luck!Delete
Ah, it's depressing just thinking about the battle when I've not even begun the war, but thank you for taking the time to reply!Delete
I was under the impression (meaning, I scanned it in a blog somewhere, back when...) that the current hype over YA fiction is causing a revolutionary change in movie-rights optioning for book contracts.
I don't write YA, but looking at examples like RR Martin, I know that TV series/movie rights need to be seriously thought out before handing over creative license.
Of course all contracts are different, but is it seriously not possible for authors to retain film rights at publication?
Cyn, if an author has not assigned administration of the film rights to their publisher as a condition of their publishing agreement the author would retain those rights. If the author retains film rights --- or any other ancillary right --- they are free to keep their book off of the market as far as film options are concerned, in the same way that rock stars who own their master recordings can keep those recordings out of commercials if they so desire. If someone offers the author money for a film option on their book, the author can always ask that, as a condition of the agreement, they be given final creative control/approval of the project. The operative word here is "ask." The answer will almost certainly be "no." Such a provision will almost certainly be a deal killer given that an author could kill a project after several million dollars have been invested in it. Again, consider Parker's home sale analogy: all other things being equal, you don't have to sell your home. If you do, however, you can't go back three months later and tell the buyer that they can't paint it a different color. And to enlarge on that a bit, any sales contract containing a provision to that effect would almost certainly be a non-starter.Delete
It just goes to show, there's always hope.ReplyDelete
That is what is true at the beginning and the end of the day, tracikites. Thanks!ReplyDelete
My inner-gatekeeper is a drunken Westerosian soldier who once tried to flirt with a 6-ft tall Knight Chick, cuz he seriously thought she was hot, but was rebuffed because some Prince-dude who had banged his own sister then turned all nice guy and stuff managed to actually distract the attentions of said giant Amazonian Goddess from him, and then he turned to a life of absurdity, because his own life had become ultimately absurd after losing the chance at romancing the giant love princess of his dreams, and had gone on to serve the Dragon Lady instead but then found himself somehow manning the "The Wall" in some frozen frickin' wasteland that was fighting against unseen spirits the turned people into blue-eyed zombies and ran away back to the nice warm southern places and got hired by me as an arctic qualified mercenary to protect my thoughts and other psychological properties.ReplyDelete
In other words...my gatekeeper doesn't keep much out...unless it has to do with dragons, giant hot-chicks, or unseen demonic entities.
Basil, cut and paste that comment to an email and send it to your agent. I sense an HBO series in the offing. I'D watch it, anyway!ReplyDelete

This study has focused on women because they remain the most underrepresented group in the news. Women compose 53.2% of the population of New York City, yet they garnered just 18.2% of the name references in The New York Times as recently as 1994.
A potential weakness of the current methodology is that it is based on the discrete variable of sex, rather than the continuous variable of gender (Dowd, 1993). Further study is needed to determine whether men who are more sensitized to women's lives write about women more often -- or whether anti- feminist women write about women less often. This study provided some evidence in this area, by showing that male writers significantly increased their references to women as they worked alongside more women in the newsroom, although not to the degree female writers increased their references to women.
Counting name references is a blunt indicator of the amount of gender diversity in a newspaper story. Although it is quite objective and reliable, it may be lacking in validity. Also, it focuses on news inputs. Ultimately, what counts is how much the audience perceives, and is affected by, whatever diversity is in the news content. Now that a floor of news content diversity has been uncovered, future studies could involve audience members rating the amount and quality of diversity in news content.
Then the question becomes whether diversity in news content equates with pluralism. Does merely multiplying the cultural voices in the media help distribute political power to various groups? For diversity is just one of three types of plurality, a concept which can also be conceived in terms of separateness and distinctness (Vernon, 1986). The media's challenge is to encourage diversity and distinctness without separateness, walking the fine line between atomization and assimilation.
In the 28 years covered by this study, America became much less of a male-dominated society. That was reflected by a doubling of women's bylines and references to women in The New York Times. Even so, as recently as 1994 men still outnumbered women 4-to-1 on bylines and references in The New York Times. That pace of plurality portends poorly for a republic built on the belief that newspapers are more essential than government.

For a music born and bred in the streets, hip-hop is no stranger to the courtroom. Built on a bedrock of funk, jazz and soul samples, the genre has consistently pushed at the edges of legality and been shaped by litigation, from 1991's Grand Upright Music vs. Warner Bros. Records, in which a district court ruled that Biz Markie had to pay for sampling Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)," to 1994's Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose Music, where the Supreme Court upheld 2 Live Crew's fair-use rights to parody Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman."
Once again, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the rule book on sampling and the boundaries of intellectual property are in the process of being redefined, this time thanks to a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Louisiana by Los Angeles–based Urband & Lazar Music Publishing. The suit names one of hip-hop's biggest stars — and the undisputed king of the mixtape — Lil Wayne, as its defendant. At issue is an uncleared sample from a song called "Once," written by a singer named Karma-Ann Swanepoel. Wayne's version is called "I Feel Like Dying," never "officially" released and never offered for sale to the public, but rather given away as a free download. The case not only questions the tenuous legality of mixtapes but also threatens to stymie their recent evolution from back-alley promotional tool to legitimate art form.
"This is the first case where a song that hasn't been sold is the subject in a copyright-law case — and that's very rare," says Jack Lerner, a professor of intellectual-property, Internet- and technology-related law at USC's Gould School of Law. "The big question is, how far can copyright holders go to stifle or silence someone who sampled a song and isn't selling it, even if they are using it in performances?"
Four years ago, "I Feel Like Dying" wouldn't have attracted a lawsuit. Most likely, an argument between songwriter and artist would have ensued, on the phone or in an office, and the sample would have been cleared, or "I Feel Like Dying" would have landed on the cutting-room floor as a great "lost" Lil Wayne track. Back then, mixtapes remained primarily a regional phenomenon, only available at hip-hop/DJ stores, Venice Beach and, of course, the genre's mecca, New York's bootlegger-bloated Canal Street. Early mixtapes usually served either as all-star compendiums from big-name DJs like Brucie B, Ron G and Kid Capri, or as slap-dash, unofficial efforts from artists promoting their albums to a small but dedicated fan base willing to shell out $5 to $10 for a hodgepodge of miscellaneous guest appearances, radio-station freestyles and unreleased singles aimed at building some word-of-mouth anticipation.
Some time in 2005, however, the landscape shifted. With the genre in a lull, piracy rampant, and major labels cautious about releasing new product, rappers began to realize the power of the Internet. While journalists gushed over the DIY freedom that the Web engendered for bands like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, rappers began to join in, harnessing that freedom to circumvent their label drama and/or release product to a hungry audience just beginning to figure out its way around Rapidshare.
Lil Wayne instinctively understood this paradigm better than anyone. No one knows exactly how many songs Lil Wayne has recorded over the past four years. Not Wayne. Not Bryan "Baby" Williams, the CEO of Cash Money Records, not their lawyers. In 2007, Vibe magazine did a countdown of the 77 best Wayne songs of the year — and that was maybe half the material he had recorded in that 12-month span. Those are still available; with the click of a mouse, you can have your pick of, among others, Dedication, Vol. 1 and 2, Da Drought, Vol. 1-5, I Can't Feel My Face, The Greatest Rapper Alive, Parts 1 and 2, and something called the Lil Weezyana Mixtape Vol. 1 (which I've never heard, mainly because I half-fear it to be a muddled civics lesson on the Pelican State, involving an entirely different kind of Louisiana purchase).
By June 2007, so many of these legally dubious tapes existed that when a DJ named Empire leaked Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III sessions, the only clue that it wasn't another of his mixtapes was a production roster that included unheard, six-figure-sound-quality tracks from Kanye West, Timbaland and Rockwilder. Suddenly spilled gratis to a piranha-like Internet audience, a nonplussed Wayne opted to re-record the album from scratch, a delay that ultimately dented the bottom line of Universal, which had been banking on a fourth-quarter release.
Among the leaked material was the aforementioned "I Feel Like Dying," produced by an up-and-coming Miami beatmaker named Jim Jonsin, who would later create one of 2008's most popular songs, "Lollipop." A stoned, surrealist spell, "I Feel Like Dying" pairs a sample from Swanepoel's "Once" with a Kublai Khan–like drug rap about playing "touch football on marijuana street" and being a "prisoner beyond Xanax bars." Catching fire throughout the blogosphere and in magazines, "I Feel Like Dying" was named song of the month by Blender and finished at No. 7 in Spin's ranking of 2007's best songs, all despite never seeing commercial release.
