Edison International Awards $1 Million To CSULA's Honors College For Scholarships
Edison International has awarded a $1 million scholarship endowment to the Honors College at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA). The first two students will be presented scholarships next week at a news conference.
Edison International Chief Executive Officer Ted Craver and CSULA President James M. Rosser will recognize students Yulan Lin, 17, of Arcadia, and Francisco Sepulveda, 18, of South Gate, at 10 a.m. on April 2, at the Golden Eagle Conference Center on the CSULA campus. The university is located at 5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles, California 90032.
"At Edison International, we recognize that higher education is a transformative tool," said Craver. "For people of all cultures, education changes lives. Education empowers communities and fuels the future. I am deeply honored that Edison International is able to play a small but impactful role in the success of Edison Scholars Yulan and Francisco, two bright and driven students."
Edison International places special emphasis on awarding scholarships to underrepresented and underserved students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). In 2012, the company donated $19.2 million in philanthropic support, including $10.8 million to educational programs, all from shareholder dollars.The Edison Scholars endowment will provide a stable base and support for Honors College students in perpetuity. Edison International's leadership gift has already helped raise an additional $1 million in gifts and pledges for the Honors College at CSULA, one of the most ethnically diverse and comprehensive universities in the country. "With this generous gift, Edison International has again raised the bar for all of us who stand committed to improving education now and in the near future, as the country continues to address 21st century challenges," said Rosser. "Through Edison's support, gifted CSULA Honors College students, like our first Edison Scholars Yulan and Francisco, will have the opportunity to become better leaders within their chosen STEM fields. These segments of the workforce are not only on the frontline of the strengthening economy, but also enable other industries to function at the high technological level today's workforce demands."

Drink drive limit 'should be zero', say nurses - Telegraph
Nursing leaders denied that such a move would disproportionately hit people in rural areas, who need to use their cars more to move around.
Amanda Callaghan, director of communications for the RCN, said: "Would it not be better to improve public transport than accept that people in rural areas should be allowed to drink and drive?"
The idea that public transport is an answer in the countryside is so bizarre that one has to wonder if she has been sniffing the hand gel.
Are there any figures for the risk people who have had a glass of wine at their rural neighbours cause?
I have always thought a rough but fairer way to would be to penalise harder drivers within built-up or 30 limited areas as they probably had the choice of public transport.

Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to uplift and improve the shape of breasts that sag, are pendulous, have lost elasticity and firmness or have nipples that point downward, falling below the breast crease. When an increase in breast volume is also desired, breast implants can be used in conjunction with a breast lift. This procedure is also appropriate in cases of breast asymmetry where the position of one breast is lower than the other.
A woman's breasts lose their youthful shape and firmness as a result of pregnancy, breast-feeding, weight fluctuations, aging, heredity and gravity. These changes can affect a woman's body image and self-confidence. A breast lift rejuvenates the female figure with a breast profile that is more youthful, uplifted and firm. Good candidates are woman of stable weight whose breasts are fully developed and who are not planning future pregnancies. A mammogram may be required prior to the procedure to ensure breast health.
Dr. Taylor performs breast lift procedures in fully accredited hospitals and surgical facilities under general anesthesia. Taking approximately 2-3 hours, the surgery begins by making an incision around the areola and extending it straight down to the crease underneath the breast (a "lollipop" incision). In some cases the incision also continues along the crease under the breast (an "anchor" incision). The length and extent of incisions depend on the amount of excess skin to be removed as well as the quality of the skin. Once the excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted and the remaining skin tightened as the incisions are closed. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a natural, more youthful height and, if necessary, the size if the areola can be reduced. Dressings are applied to the incisions and a support bra is worn to minimize swelling and support the breasts as they heal.
Initial healing includes swelling and discomfort at the incision sites. Pain is controlled with prescribed oral medication and antibiotics are taken to prevent infection. A return to light, normal activity is possible usually within a few days of surgery but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for up to 6 weeks. Patients usually return to work within 1-2 weeks. The final results will appear over a few months as the breasts settle into their new shape and position. Incision lines are permanent but the scars will fade and significantly improve in appearance over time.
If you desire to restore the firmness and shape of your breasts, regaining a more youthful, uplifted breast profile, then call Dr. John Taylor today to schedule your personalized consultation.

Apple and Comcast in Talks for Streaming Service
According to The Wall Street Journal, Comcast is in talks with Apple to provide support for a streaming-television service. In the proposed scenario, an unnamed Apple device would essentially act as a cable box, streaming live content and storing on-demand content and digital video recordings in the cloud. While a deal hasn't been finalized, Apple is hoping for "special treatment" from Comcast to avoid slow service to subscribers, a phrase which sounds a lot more like a mafia euphemism than it probably is.

She's dubbed herself "Princess Sparkle", spends most of her day in an evening gown, and demands to be fed a breakfast of lotus petals picked in moonlight. Trust us, we know a royal when we see one.

If you have a picky princess -- is there any other kind? -- you know by now that her standards are very high. The delicate sparkles decorating her many royal doodads have to be just so. And you must never, ever tussle her ruffles.
Sure, she can be tough to please. But deep down, we hope she will always hold herself in such lofty esteem. After all, she is pretty darned awesome. We realize that the last thing any mom wants to do is disappoint her haughty highness. That's why iVillage editors have been working overtime to come up with gifts that shimmer and shine to princess perfection.
Wreath O' FlowersQueen of the garden? Princess of the posies? It's all possible with this beautiful homemade felt headband made of colorful flora and fauna. What princess wouldn't trade her tiara for this topper? ($58 at Lori Marie)

Exhibit Tells Tales from the Grave
Over the past six years, Historic St. Mary's City (HSMC) has been working closely with scientists at the Smithsonian Institution to develop a unique exhibit that opens in early February at the National Museum of Natural History. Entitled "Written in Bone: Forensic Files from the Colonial Chesapeake," this exhibit will present the fascinating insights obtained from the excavation and study of 17th- and early 18th-century human graves in Maryland and Virginia.
It addresses a wide range of topics, including health, mortuary traditions, age at death, trauma, medical care and diet. The primary focus is on burials excavated at Jamestown and St. Mary's City. A premier component will be the display of the three lead coffins discovered at HSMC's chapel site that held remains of the Calverts, Maryland's founding family. Information from the chapel cemetery, including the lead coffins, is presented and contrasted with evidence found in graves dating to the first decades of settlement at Jamestown. One element is a new facial reconstruction of Anne Wolsley Calvert, found in the middle lead coffin. This effort takes advantage of new methods of facial analysis and reproduction invented since the first image of Anne was created in 1994.
Other agencies providing materials for the exhibit include Anne Arundel County's Lost Towns Project, Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, and Colonial Williamsburg.
"This is a unique exhibit that, for the first time, presents the fascinating results of two decades of careful excavation and respectful analysis of grave data," says Henry Miller, HSMC's director of research. "From this effort, we have learned important new stories from the early colonists, stories that are literally written in their bones."
"Written in Bone" is a partnership project of the Smithsonian's Department of Anthropology, Jamestown Rediscovery, and Historic St. Mary's City, with funding provided by many organizations including the Historic St. Mary's City Foundation.
Led by Douglas Owsley, one of the premier physical anthropologists in the United States, and his staff, a core team that includes Miller and four Smithsonian staff members has labored to produce the themes, content and illustrations for the exhibit. Content development was aided by Chief Archaeologist Timothy Riordan and Curator Silas Hurry assisted in the selection of artifacts and their preparation for display.
"Written in Bone" is scheduled to run for two years and will be seen by millions of visitors to the Smithsonian. HSMC kicks off its 375th anniversary in 2009 with a symposium focusing on Maryland's beginning on March 28 and the annual Maryland Day ceremony on March 29.

Originally conceived in 2000 as a way to highlight issues of critical importance to women and to appeal to women both on- and off-campus, this year's Women Studies Colloquium - March 24-26 - will focus on women at work.
In the past, the Colloquium covered a wide variety of topics-from culture wars against women to pornography to transgendered identities-and brought in speakers from many perspectives, including such gregarious and well-known figures as author/artist Kate Bornstein and activist Eleanor Smeal. The Women Studies Colloquium has become one of the premiere scholarly events on campus, whose reputation continues to grow both within the St. Mary's College community as well as the larger local and scholarly communities. In the past five years, there has been standing-room-only at many of the events; the Colloquium has been highlighted in such venues as Ms. Magazine; and participants consistently have moved beyond the "talking heads" model of oral presentation to visit classes, hold brown-bag lunches, and even go kayaking with students on the St. Mary's River.
This year's Colloquium, "Caution: Women at Work," will focus on women's work and challenges to gender equity in the workplace and at home. While women have always worked, their work has largely been confined to the domestic sphere and been unpaid. As this dominant pattern continues to be challenged, can we say that we have truly achieved equality? The Colloquium will explore this question from many different perspectives, including literary, scholarly, and artistic. For details, visit the wgsx web site.

Perfect for the recessed mounting in the rear of most speaker systems.
Recieved quickly, looks as good as the picture. Soldered in easily, and so far works greeeeaaaattt ! Would recommend to others. Presently using on home made speaker enclosures for outside use under Gazzebo !
The part worked great ! Shipping was fast !
The quick connect connections are metric. They are 5.0mm x .5mm thick. American sized quick connects don't actually work. 3/16 are .187, too small and .250 are too wide. American terminal are are for tabs .030 inch thick and metric are .020 inches thick. Since this is a Chinese metric part at least point us to where we can buy the correct connectors. The binding post are also metric. They are close to american 8-32 but of course are metric.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic has beaten Andy Murray to the International Tennis Federation's (ITF) annual men's World Champion award with American Serena Williams taking the women's prize for a third time.
Djokovic, who ended a second successive year on top of the ATP rankings, successfully defended his Australian Open title, reached the final at the French Open and US Open and claimed five other titles including the season-ending Tour Finals.
Britain's Murray was a strong contender for the honour after beating Djokovic at the US Open to win his first major title after four losses in finals and claiming Olympic gold at Wimbledon, just weeks after reaching the grand slam final there in which he lost to an inspired Roger Federer.
"I am proud to have been named ITF World Champion for the second successive year," Djokovic, who dominated 2011 with three of the four grand slam titles, said in a statement on Tuesday.
"It was very difficult to follow up such a successful season in 2011, but it was extremely satisfying to win another grand slam title, reach two other major finals and finish the year at number one."
The 31-year-old Williams was unstoppable in the second half of 2012, winning Wimbledon, singles and doubles gold at the Olympics and the US Open.
"It means a lot to be named ITF World Champion for the third time. It has been such an amazing experience this year to win the Olympics and two Grand Slam tournaments, and I look forward to having an awesome 2013," said the 15-times major winner.
Americans Bob and Mike Bryan were named men's doubles World Champions for the ninth time in 10 years after winning Olympic gold for the first time, while Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy, winners of the French Open and U.S. Open, became women's doubles World Champions for the first time.
Dutchwoman Esther Vergeer was named women's wheelchair World Champion for the 13th successive year after winning a fourth Paralympic gold. France's Stephane Houdet won the men's award.

Happy Trees and the 'Cult of Bob Ross'
Happy trees, happy clouds, and happy accidents are part of the wonderful 'Cult of Bob Ross'. He's become a pop culture icon of sorts now and has been forever immortalized on the web for future generations to enjoy. This is my contribution to his artistic influence.
Bob Ross (October 29, 1942 - July 4, 1995) was a grandmaster American oil painter who primarily practiced the finer, more respectable arts of relaxation and kindness. His quiet, nurturing disposition was a form of therapy to the weary, and the reassuring intonations of his gentle voice hypnotized entire generations of would-be illustrators into creating a million-dollar art supply store enterprise.

Your post reminds me of a show in the 1950s called "You Are An Artist". John Gnagy the artist fascinated me and hooked me on a more sophisticated level of drawing. To my young mind that meant graduating from stick figures to using real shading, shadows, and perspective. Quite a leap for a 5-year-old.
I just learned he died in 1981 at the age of 73.

I loved Bob Ross as a child and as an adult. Whenever I see that a previous episode of The Joy of Painting is on I watch. I could watch Bob paint for hours on end. Thank You for making this tribute to him. He certainly makes me "happy" every time I hear his voice.

Twitter Mobile Ads Can Now Be Targeted By Platform
Twitter has announced another incremental step in the development of its ad products: Promoted Tweets can now be targeted to users of specific mobile platforms.
Twitter's also announcing that Promoted Tweets are now showing to Blackberry users.
That gives advertisers the option to target Promoted Tweets just to iOS, Android or Blackberry users if they wish. Here's a screenshot from Twitter's blog post.
Twitter originally expanded Promoted Tweets to mobile devices in late February, but there was no way for advertisers to target mobile users at the time. About three weeks later, the company added mobile targeting. And now, with today's announcement, that mobile targeting can more specifically apply to indvidual platforms.
Twitter has previously reported that 55 percent of its active users access the service on mobile devices.

Will the Bears' offense work when it matters?
BY RICK TELANDER firstname.lastname@example.com | @ricktelander September 4, 2013 9:18PM
Updated: September 5, 2013 10:12AM
It's always a great time in the NFL when every team is undefeated.
And so there is a relatively good feeling at Halas Hall these last days before the opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Imagine, coach Marc Trestman has never lost a game in the NFL!
Then, too, a lot of the 2013 Bears have never played in an NFL game, either.
Thus, there is some nervousness and light anxiety among the players and coaches as they try to figure out what will happen when the real games begin.
''It's good to be back and get a game that really counts,'' second-year defensive end Shea McClellin said as Wednesday's practice ended.
As far as starting the season with no Brian Urlacher at middle linebacker, how will that be?
''I think we'll be fine,'' said McClellin, who is under pressure himself to be more of a house-wrecker from his outside position. "We got great guys back there. This is basically the same defense we ran last year.''
But Pro Bowl cornerback Tim Jennings had a more reflective attitude, more curious, for sure. After all, this would be the debut of a new and, some might say, untested leader, taking over for longtime coach Lovie Smith.
''Let's see how the season starts, let's see how he gets things going, how he reacts to pressure, when bodies start flying and everything starts to be real,'' Jennings said. "I'm real curious to see how he manages the offense, and manage the whole team as well.''
I don't think a scribe, fan or analyst could have said it any better. There has been so much change with the Bears, especially with offensive guru Trestman coming in to make quarterback Jay Cutler and the offense better, that curiosity is the cat running loose in Chicago.
We don't even know — nor does the team, for sure — what the offense will look like.
''It's very intense,'' said Jennings of the offense he watches from his DB position. "It's up-tempo, and they're working so hard.''
But he added, "I can't really tell the difference from last year, because all offenses kind of look the same to me. But the way they get in and out of the huddle, there's intensity.''
And secrets yet to be revealed.
''You'll see a lot that we didn't do [in the preseason],'' tailback Matt Forte said.
Stuff left out by design?
''Of course. You don't want to show everything you're going to do in the preseason.''
Forte himself says he would like to touch the ball all the time in the new offense, to be the guy. Not just the running back. He wants the ball through the air, too.
''You don't want to limit yourself to just running the ball out of the backfield,'' he explained. " If you have skills to catch the ball out of the backfield, in space, that's how you get big plays.''
This is true, especially for a good-hands, big-target back such as Forte. Indeed, Forte is not built like many NFL bowling-ball running backs. He is tall and almost slender, weighing just 218 pounds. Standing next to him you can see that his hands are huge and his arms are long, and that in some ways he physically resembles the Bears' super wideout, Brandon Marshall.
All good. All ready.
And to his credit, head man Trestman is telling things like they are, seemingly, and staying cool. At least outwardly. His professorial, helping demeanor hasn't changed from the day he was introduced to Chicago fans last winter.
He knows that a first-year coach can't get everything done that he wants done without some guesswork and a lot of hope.
So you ask him flat-out if he accomplished everything he wanted to during the preseason, and if not, what did he wish for.
"Get more reps, spend more time with the quarterbacks,'' he said immediately. "There's just not enough time in the day during training camp and then there's not enough time that we're given during the spring to be able to do that, to put a new system in.''
But he also quickly stated that he feels very "comfortable'' with where the Bears find themselves just now. "We'll have a team that's gonna know where to line up, what to do and how to do it.''
That's rather important. Worth watching a little bit.
Jennings will be watching just like everyone else, though he'll be, yes, a little more involved.
"We all bought into the system, we believe in him,'' Jennings said of the new coach.
"We're just excited to get this thing going.''

The Gospel According to the Son
To read the surviving ancient examples of apocryphal gospels is to see how impressive the canonical ones usually are. The apocrypha, sometimes clever, sometimes silly, try to elaborate or continue those originals, thus following, with varying degrees of irresponsibility, the example of the Evangelists themselves. All manner of strange things are said to have happened to Judas; for instance, that the silver he gained by treachery he lost by gambling. Pilate, converted to Christianity, may seek to persuade the emperor Tiberius of the divinity of Christ, and even be accepted as a saint. Such things occur in apocryphal gospels. Norman Mailer has added to the genre a modern example that is clever but not silly. And in one respect it breaks new ground: it is the first, so far as I know, to be attributed to Jesus himself, a gospel-autobiography, no less, of the Son of God.
Each of the four canonical Gospels has a Passion narrative offering an orderly historical account of the last days of Jesus in Jerusalem. These narratives are by no means identical, but they resemble one another closely enough to suggest that they all base their variations on the same lost predecessor, an earlier written report of those last days. Discrepancies between them have to be explained by the doctrinal preferences of the communities for whom the Evangelists were writing, and by the predispositions of the writers themselves.
Events in the life of Jesus prior to the last visit to Jerusalem are much less coherently described and can hardly be said to constitute a narrative at all. The reports are presumably based on oral collections of sayings, miracles, and parables, with a few, mostly perfunctory, indications suggesting where Jesus was from time to time—in Capernaum, revisiting Nazareth, going back and forth across the Sea of Galilee, and finally moving into Jerusalem for the climax. Here John, lacking their common adherence to Mark, is widely different from Matthew and Luke, and not only because of discourses he attributes to Jesus that they know nothing about. For example, he describes several visits to Jerusalem before the final one they all describe.
This is more plausible than the single visit allowed by the other three, since it explains why Jesus and the disciples, normally working in Galilee, had friends in and around the city. But John, who on the whole offers the most connected account of Jesus' career, can no more than the others provide a straightforward narrative of the pre-Passion ministry. Like Mark, he has nothing whatever to say about the birth, childhood, and youth of his hero, whereas Luke and Matthew provide rather elaborate but disparate accounts of the Annunciation and the Nativity. Luke takes most care to provide some sort of historical context to the early part of the life, for instance explaining the winter journey to Bethlehem as made necessary by a new Roman taxation policy. He also provides John the Baptist, said to be a cousin of Jesus, with his parallel nativity story, and alone sends the boy Jesus to lecture in the Temple.
Final agreement about the interrelations of the different versions is unlikely ever to be achieved, but most scholars still seem to accept that of the first three Gospels (called "Synoptic") the shortest, Mark, came first; that Matthew and Luke used him as a basis, augmenting his account (though this theory is much contested) with material from another source (the hypothetical collection of sayings known as Q). Each of them must also have had access to some material peculiar to himself.
These conjectures are offered in explanation of the palpable similarities between the three Gospels and also of their deviations and disagreements. Indeed the learned have been at work for centuries either demonstrating the "harmony" of the three versions or explaining how they came to be dissonant. The unlearned have been content with an uncritical mishmash, sometimes preferring Luke (in whose version the Annunciation is made, as tradition assumes it was, to Mary, although in Matthew the angel addresses Joseph) but sometimes mingling both (Matthew's wise men and Luke's shepherds). The narrative of the interim between the Nativity and the Passion is likewise marked by concords and discords, stringing together in different ways traditions about journeys and parables and teachings, but in no case suggesting a definite progression. What is certain is that a later biographer of Jesus has more usable source material in the Passion story than in what comes before it.
So Norman Mailer, conscious of the source problem and conscious also of the chutzpah involved in his manner of solving it, decided to retell the whole story as a posthumous autobiography of Jesus, who could of course be represented as an authority on the facts of his early life. His Jesus starts off by being highly critical of the Gospels, accusing them of exaggeration and even of mendacity; he complains that they attribute to him words he never said, and play down his anger, which he thinks important. "Their words were written many years after I was gone and only repeat what old men told them. Very old men. Such tales are to be leaned on no more than a bush that tears free from its roots and blows about in the wind." The Evangelists, he considers, were more concerned with enlarging or strengthening their own congregations than with the truth, which he will now provide. This attitude may seem a shade ungrateful when you reflect that those despised Gospels are virtually his only source, but Mailer's Jesus is capable of being angry and unreasonable, and of course knows what later scholarship has to say about the situations and motives of the Gospel writers. With his author's help he can correct those flawed reports and make clear what he really did, thought, and said.
"What you get," says Mailer of the Gospels in an interesting interview in his publisher's house magazine, "is some pretty dull prose and a contradictory, almost hopeless way of telling the story. So I thought this account, this wonderful narrative, ought to be properly told." And unlike his apostolic predecessors he can claim to be a much practiced and experienced storyteller, a lifelong student of the possibilities of novelistic narrative, more sensitive to the interaction of plot and character than they could possibly be.
Inevitably he has much the same trouble as they had in giving Jesus a plausible itinerary during the Galilean years, but the authority vested in his narrator is such that he can adapt, explain, qualify, or reject their versions at will. In doing so he can hardly avoid, and indeed makes little attempt to avoid, infusing Jesus with a strong dose of Mailer, so the book is in some measure another self-advertisement. In that same interview he suggests that one reason for accepting this "dare" was that he himself has "a slight understanding of what it's like to be half a man and half something else, something larger." He means that the celebrity of The Naked and the Dead caused him, from twenty-five on, to lead a double life, as a famous person and as his "simple self," the former role giving him a power he hasn't always known how to use well; which was a problem also, he suggests, for Jesus, who was likewise half one thing and half another.
There is something attractive about this blend of self-analysis and self-confidence. "If I can write about Isis and Osiris and Ra," he argues, "then certainly the New Testament is not going to be that difficult to do." And having worked on Oswald and Picasso and Marilyn Monroe must have been a help, too. Of course he had on this unusual occasion to make experiments in quest of an appropriate style, avoiding the archaism of the King James translation but equally declining any uninhibited exhibition of that wonderfully agile, muscular, personal prose that made The Armies of the Night in particular incomparable in its kind. After a lot of work on this problem of decorum he invented his own serviceable version of what Eric Auerbach called sermo humilis, a lowly style, the very style the Evangelists wrote their Greek in; a simple, everyday manner that is faintly, appropriately, archaic as well. Thus equipped, he was able to apply his novelistic skills to a superior rendering of the story.
In addition to the advantage conferred by these skills Mailer could claim another of comparable importance. He seems to have had, until quite recently, very little interest in the New Testament, but was turned on to it by some remarks of the present Pope about "a fourth world which included all the underprivileged who lived among the two superpowers, particularly in America with our homeless." Reading the New Testament, he found it "curious in the extreme." And once he began the examination of the gospel story, this powerful "myth," as he calls it, he also felt it an advantage to be a Jew, and so in sympathy with a Jesus who was no longer, as he had been to earlier generations of American Jews, an enemy or renegade, but a good man. "Whatever else Jesus was, he was that…. I became very fond of him." And to portray a good man may well be the greatest challenge a novelist can face.
Although he offers rational explanations for some of the miracles, Mailer obviously saw no need to explain away all these and other supernatural occurrences, such as faith healings and "mighty works" generally, since by nominating Jesus as the author of the book he was accepting as a donnée the greatest miracle of all. So he takes miracles as they come—warning that they are less important than the teachings, sometimes scolding the Evangelists for exaggeration, but usually leaving the substance of the stories intact or even embellishing them. He explains the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand by saying that Jesus broke the loaves and fishes into very small pieces and dished out the crumbs one by one, with a sort of sacramental effect. (Like Mark, he includes two feedings, one a close copy of the other—a redundancy noticed and corrected by Matthew.)
Naturally he comments as he chooses on the miracles. After the little daughter of Jairus has been raised from the dead, or from a coma, he speculates that the child cannot have been happy to be reinserted in a house torn by marital discord. There is nothing to that effect in the Gospels, so perhaps here as elsewhere the author is expressing personal discomfort at the idea of bodily resurrection—and a sense that nobody concerned is likely to be overjoyed about it. When the blind man on the road to Bethsaida has his sight restored he exclaims that he sees "men like trees walking"—a fine instance of Marcan idiosyncrasy, but Mailer, like many a commentator before him, feels the need of an allegory when confronted by an oddity: "That is because men, like trees, bear a fruit of good and evil."

In reply to Reid B. Kimball's post on Wed 8 Jun 2011 :
the release is to protect you – by having one drawn up by a lawyer that deals w/product liability (which includes med mal) you are assuring all parties involved that you are sincerely making an effort to keep everything correct and are not trying to set someone up. I know if I was a producer on such a doc, it would be the very first thing I would put on the list of priorities with regards to interviews. a model release in this situation simply isn't adequate.
additionally, if you don't have an established track as a filmmaker, what's to prove this film will actually be finished, released and worthy of having this particular dr (whoever it is) in it? that is, you could have some alterior motive unknown to the dr.
just look at Breitbart who set up the Acorn sting as well as a couple others and then railroaded A. Weiner into a corner (ok, some say he did it to himself but personally, I could care less about this guy's sex life; he's damn good at progressive politics and that's more important to me)
Reid, one of the most important considerations to learn when making docs is whatever passion you have for the subject is of course, a good thing, but whenever people are involved, you are asking something of them. You are asking their time, input, energy, opinions, whatever and how you ask and what you ask for can have significant impact on your final production. It's critical to look at their side of it, and understand the fear, suspicion, worry, etc., that participants experience whether they are willing or unwilling.
We as filmmakers are only storytellers. without the generousity of those who share with us their true stories, well, I suppose we'd be making narrative films :)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Channel two (IRTV1) in its 1600 gmt bulletin on 7 June broadcast a video
report on Shahram Amiri, an Iranian researcher, who had disappeared
about a year ago in Saudi Arabia's Medina and Iran says that in fact he
had been kidnapped.
The news reader said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran announced recently
that it has documents and proofs indicating that Shahram Amiri had been
kidnapped through an operation by the American intelligence forces and
transferred to America. A few days ago a video clip was received from
Shahram Amiri by the Iranian intelligence body which reveals the truth."
Video showed Shahram Amiri in a room with headphones on while recording
his message on 5 April 2010. He introduced himself and said: "I'm
Shahram Amiri, an expert and researcher of Malek Ashtar University of
Technology. At the moment I'm in Tucsan, a city in America's Arizona. I
was kidnapped in a joint operation by the American intelligence, CIA's
terror and kidnap teams and Saudi's Istikhbarat on 13 Khordad 1388 [3
June 2009] from Medina. They took me to a house located somewhere that I
didn't know. They gave me an anaesthetic injection. When I became
conscious I was in a big [voice interrupted] towards America During the
eight months that I was kept in America, I was subject to the most
severe tortures and psychological pressures by the American intelligence
investigation groups. And the main aim behind these investigation teams
and the pressure imposed on me was to make me take part in an interview
conducted by an American media source and claim that I was! an important
figure in Iran's nuclear programme and I had sought asylum in America at
my own will. And [to say] while seeking asylum I took some very
important documents and a laptop with classified information on Iran's
military nuclear programme in it to America from my country The main aim
from this was to impose political pressure on the Islamic Republic of
Iran and in fact condemning [Iran] and proving lies that America has
been constantly saying against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
He urged human rights bodies and organizations for their support and to
help him to go back to Iran.

Other fees are still required, such as those in campgrounds, reservation and group sites. Exceptions will be posted onsite. Visitors who accidentally use their DailyAdventure Pass on June 7 may have it replaced free-of-charge at any southern California office of the Forest Service.
The Adventure Pass normally is required for day use activities in Los Padres National Forest's seven "high impact recreation areas" including Rose Valley, Lower Santa Ynez Recreation Area, Figueroa Mountain, Pozo-La Panza, Goldhill, Ballinger and Mt. Pinos (snow season only). The Adventure Pass also is required at 35 campgrounds in the forest, most of which are within the above recreation areas. The Adventure Pass is not currently required on the Monterey Ranger District.
National Trails Day is dedicated to the many volunteers, partners and agency employees across America who maintain the trail systems on our public lands including Los Padres National Forest. It is one of three annual "fee free days" on the southern California National Forests where the Adventure Pass is required: Angeles, Cleveland, San Bernardino and Los Padres. Other free days include National Public Lands Day in September and Veterans Day in November.
