Game of Thrones Review: "The Wolf and the Lion"by Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
King Robert and Ned had some amusing moments to start "The Wolf and the Lion." It seems no matter what your role, it's never what you think it will be. As Robert said, "I thought as King I could do whatever I wanted."
By the end of the episode, he proved that he very well can.
When our road weary travelers were attacked, you could see Tyrion weighing his decision: flee or save Catelyn? If anyone had any doubt that Tyrion's soul was clear, it was eliminated here.
Granted, the thought of being ripped to death by wildlife may have played into his final action, but he made the choice with his heart, not his head. George R. R. Martin has not even finished A Song of Ice and Fire, but surely Tyrion will be proven the man I think he is by the end.The entire council of the King were at each others throats. Things were coming to head, and whatever that means, it will not be good. Thanks to Arya and her penchant for adventure, she overheard some council members saying the Wolves and Lions would soon be at war and that the Hand had found one of the bastards. There are obviously secrets the council shares, but not with Ned, nor with the late Jon Arryn. The Hand of the King has few allies.
I wish Catelyn had been in contact with her sister before deciding to take Tyrion there. She's a nutter, as the Brit's like to say. I daresay Lysa doesn't even like her sister, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if she made the little man fly to make her son happy. The dungeon was certainly a startling vision, wasn't it?
As if Ned's head wasn't already swirling, word got to King's Landing that Catelyn kidnapped Tyrion and that Dany was pregnant with Khal's child. It felt like the train was ready to run off of the rails.
Dany and Khal Drogo seem so far away from King's Landing that I hardly thought of them as a threat. It appears the reality is quite different. Ribert ordered all of their deaths and, as a result, Ned resigned as Hand of the King. The King already called him a traitor, so the Starks must beat a hasty retreat from King's Landing.
Poor, honorable Ned barely had a chance to take the reins of the Kingdom before he realized how far the King was from the friend Robert used to be.
Was anyone else surprised that Cersei somewhat stood up for Ned after he resigned? Asking Robert if losing Ned this was was really worth it? She considered him a serious enough man to be the Hand. High praise from her lips for a Stark.
Cersei has turned out to be quite an enigma. Sometimes I have no idea where she truly stands, and then she comes out with some fairly wise words.
The torture King Robert suffered after losing his only true love lasted all 17 years of their marriage. He was so busy being tortured, he wouldn't allow himself to have something with Cersei, even though at one time she was open to the idea.
It makes her turning to her brother for affection a lot easier to understand. There wouldn't be many men a queen could trust for a tryst, let alone more than one.
Jaime sought out Ned to answer for his missing brother. Without a title, Jaime used his power to wipe Ned clean. Ned's two girls are without protection and all of Ned's men are dead. Dire circumstances, indeed.
The chain of events that were set into place in these last two episodes don't seem to leave a lot of room for the Starks to make it safely back to Winterfell. What do you think the last five episodes will hold?
Other thoughts:
- I'm not sure why Gregor went nuts at the tournament, but I loved The Hound saving the day. I hope he feels some honor gained from his actions.
- Despite knowing Lysa was off in the head,watching her child suckling at her breast (and using it as a sort of pillow to chat with their visitors) really churned my stomach.
- I didn't expect Renly to be gay. Funny timing, that he was complaining the other men made fun of him for not being manly enough as he was being shaved clean by Loras.
- I already miss Jory.
- Sansa is still engaged to the Prince. How long will that last?
- I wish Catelyn had thought about her husband and daughters at King's Landing before taking Tyrion prisoner. Did she really think no one there would give it a second thought?

Minor correction: One of the two men Arya overhears is not actually a council member, he is Magister Illyrio from across the narrow sea, the person who is hosting Daenerys and Viserys in the first episode.
The wolf and lion episode was dedicated to Caroline Benoist, a 26 year old animal trainer who tragically died of swine flu shortly after returning from Belfast,where the majority of the series was shot on location.
Testing... my last post got lost I think. If it didn't apologize for the second post. If it did... well it'll be here in a minute :P
Gooood evening. My newb self has returned to gush about the latest episode. I really loved it, it wasn't my favorite so far, but still top notch. Favorite Stuffs Tyrion going all warrior with the shield.
The Sky Cell
Arya... "I was chasing a cat." I seriously, lol'd Creeped Me Out Stuffs Sweet Robin and Mummy. That is all. Sad Face Stuffs My favorite characters are Dany and Jon. So I REALLY missed them this week. I understand why others didn't but their stories are what really hooked me in the first place. That's not to say that I'm not loving all the action in King's Landing (or the action in Greyjoy's bedroom... I am a straight woman thank you very much) But, I just missed seeing them this week. Looking forward to their return soon. I don't really have any new comments on the Loras/Renly scene expect that in episode 1 Tyrion enjoyed much of the same and THAT scene wasn't explicit in the books either. I thought it was well done, two people who can't be themselves in public being themselves with each other. Whether or not they have true feelings for one another I cannot say. But in that moment, it was almost sweet.
Not all of Ned's men are dead. During the episode Arya asks Jory how many men they brought with them from Winterfell. He tells her they brought fifty. Only three, including poor Jory, were killed in the fight with Jaime. Also, although the Loras/Renly relationship was barely hinted at in the first book, anyone who has read all four and didn't pick up on that really needs to pay more attention.
The sex is in the books - not always in the background either unlike the scene with Renly and Loras. However the scene pulls together a lot of 'little bits' - and think what it is telling us: Renly is something of a wimp but Loras is a schemer who will do anything to influence him; and he is a man who has an eye - and a rose - for the ladies. Oh and his family is nearly as wealthy as the Lannisters (and a major family). So I believe the (suggested) sex in this scene is telling. The scene with Therion Greyjoy. Coupled with the scene with Bran it provided information about the Greyjoys - another major family. It also develops Therion's character as it did last week. Could the information have been imparted differently? Was it needed at all? (At some point yes). Therion is alone at Winterfell with no family so arguaby the location was pretty natural scene. OK there was some nudity but it wasn't overdone - and once you have decided on the location .... George RR Martin says he is happy with the scenes and that they could have happened; I think that says a lot.
I'm actually reading the book as I watch the show. It seems like each week when I start watching, I've read about halfway into the show. The last half of the episode is always unknown to me, which is good I guess. So far I've been totally impressed with how they have only deviated from the book when necessary. As another commenter said, it is okay to me for them to add scenes like the one with Cersi and Robert for sake of getting the point across. What does bother me though is when they add scenes that don't need to be added to get the point across just b/c they can. For instance the scene with Greyjoy and the whore, it didn't need to have the hardcore sex like they did. And they could have gotten the relationship with Loras and Renly across without having the BJ at the end of the scene with noises and all. I know sex sales but sometimes I think it is a bit too much.
As far as the deviations are concerned, how does one write into a TV series things that are merely "hinted at"? I think it needs to be more blatant and in your face so the audience can understand it. There's no mistaking Loras and Renly now since they created a well done scene about it. Another point about Cersei's private musings... Like with any book converted into TV, you aren't privy to what people think, it has to be shown. The conversation between Cersei and King Robert supported the whole sense and revealed that all I think in a rather well done fashion. At this point, it's completely possible, they haven't wanted to reveal how much of a monster Cersei actually is with the abortion of the baby. I do, however, agree with the pointing out of Tyrion being elevated in the show while he's far more demeaned in the books. I think they're trying not to villainize him. We're watching an abridged book made for TV. I expect things to be moved and introduced a little differently. As long as they stick to the core concepts and the characters are presented and live and die as they're supposed to, I'm oh board! I mean, my god, did you see Lysa's kid? How brilliantly done! How'd that make you feel?
Overall, I believe this is very, very well done. The deviations thus far are acceptable and understandable. As long as they stay away from what happened with True Blood where there was a total separation after the first book and pretty much a made up plot line. If they stick with the books much like they are, this is going to be amazing! And with George R.R. Martin overseeing the production of the series themselves, I'm sure it will not be too far off. Well done!
There have been a few small deviations from the book until last nights episode. Last night's episode deviated in a HUGE way. That scene with Ser Loras and Lord Renly never took place, their love affair was only hinted at, never openly revealed. Neither had the conversation with Cersei and King Robert, it was private musings of Cersei, and Cersei aborted King Roberts child because she wanted to keep her Lannister line pure! Tyrion has always been misjudged, the books have never put him in a light with his sister or father. But all in all, I waited and waited to see the show, it is exceptional and would have been great if I hadn't read the books and knew of the deviations. The show is fantastic.
Renly and Loras are lovers in the books as well, though it's never stated in the open and only revealed much later.
As for Sansa's engagement, I shall only say that ending the engagement would not necessarily make things better for her...

The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies (Book Review of the Week-ish)
March 27, 2014 | By Tim Peter | No Comments
I've spent the last few days working my way through the fascinating The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies by MIT professors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee.
First, it's worth pointing out that this is not — emphatically not — a marketing book, at least not in the sense most people think about marketing. Brynjolfsson and McAfee are big thinkers in the truest sense of the word, exploring the implications of increasingly cheap (if not free) technology on people's everyday lives and livelihoods. They look deeply at the exponential growth of computing power and how that growth has shaped, and will continue to shape, our world.
Second, this is by no means "light reading." But, it remains highly readable nonetheless. Brynjolfsson and McAfee tell a compelling story that ties together the work of many leading economists and economic thinkers. Their examination of the economic effects brought about by the computer revolution — the "Second Machine Age" of the book's title — leaves few stones unturned in its examination of the rapidly shifting landscape brought about by unprecedented technological change.
Given that this isn't a marketing book, why review it on a marketing and e-commerce blog? Simple, the authors' comprehensive look at how digital products and services — apps, games, and media — create a "winner take all" environment matters to anyone working in those fields. Even more interesting, though, is their explanation in Chapter 10 of how ratings and review sites create similar effects for all products and services, digital or not. While I've long talked about the important role ratings and reviews play in digital marketing today, I'd never seen the long-term effects spelled out so clearly before. Incredibly useful stuff.
Brynjolfsson and McAfee's world-view may appear utopian (or, at the very least, very optimistic) to some. But they don't shirk the hard questions, such as the effects technological change has on the job market now and in the future. And this hard look at the world we live in matters. It offers tremendous insights into the challenges and fears your customers may face in the coming years as automation and a changing business environment affects not only consumers' work opportunities, incomes, and purchasing power, but also their feelings, hopes, and dreams for their lives, and those of their children.
If marketing represents the act of creating customers, understanding their needs, and offering products and services that help them in their lives, then The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies represents an important book for all marketers — and for businesses generally. I highly recommend you pick up a print copy, or perhaps more appropriately given the subject, the Kindle edition. Great information, well presented, and well worth your time.
Interested in how these changes affect your customers in a more day-to-day sense? Then you may also enjoy these slides from another recent speaking engagement "Elements of E-commerce: How Digital Storytelling Drives Revenue and Results" here:
(And, yes… you can hire me to keynote your next event, too).
And, if you're interested in learning even more about the future of e-commerce and marketing via the social, local, mobile web, register to receive a special report I've produced in conjunction with hotel marketing firm Vizergy, "Digital Hotel Marketing in a Multiscreen World." While it's targeted specifically at hotel and resort marketers, the lessons apply to just about any business. You can get your free copy of the report here.

According to anti-pluralist theories of predication, there is only a small handful of fundamental predicates and they are all of a highly general and abstract nature. Sometimes there is only one. For instance, strong Platonism has as fundamental only the multigrade predicate Instantiates. All other predications should be analyzed in terms of it. Resemblance nominalism has the fundamental predicate ResemblesInRespect and then needs some story about respects (which story may involve one or two more fundamental predicate). Bundle theory will have the fundamental predicate CobundledWith, plus perhaps the predicates of set theory (∈ and IsASet) or of some other highly general theory for constructing objects out of bundles.
According to pluralist theories of predication, there are many fundamental predicates and many of them are of a very concrete nature. For instance, the pluralist is likely to have predicates like Horse, Daphnia and NegativelyCharged. She may also have highly abstract predicates like ∈ as well.
Ostrich nominalists are pluralists. But one can also be a weak Platonist and a pluralist. I am inclined to think that the solution to the problem of the unity of form and matter given in Metaphysics H.6 commits Aristotle to pluralism.
The big insight of the pluralist is that the puzzle of predication is no less of a puzzle when that puzzle concerns a small handful of fundamental predicates. There may be theoretical simplicity grounds to prefer particular anti-pluralist theories of predication over particular pluralist theories, but I suspect these will result in a stalemate. And then the pluralist will win, as her fundamental predicates fit better with our intuitions, I think.

And in some sense, truthmaker maximalists hold that there are zero or one fundamental predicates. Zero if existence isn't a predicate and one if existence is a predicate.

E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A Canadian man who was found earlier this year in Michigan with a 12-year-old Kansas girl he met on the Internet has had his trial delayed.
Stewart Kenneth Cody McGill, of Bewdley, Ontario, had been scheduled for trial next week in U.S. District Court in Wichita on a charge of transporting a minor out of state to have sex.
But a judge on Wednesday granted a defense request for a delay. The trial is now set for Nov. 14.
Authorities say McGill traveled in May to El Dorado (doh-RAY'-doh) to meet the girl. They were found a few days later near Potterville, Mich.
McGill's lawyer said he needed more time to prepare for trial. He also said international issues are delaying the government's recovery of evidence.

Speak Up!
Whether subtle or overt, bigotry is something most of us deal with daily. Though Bigotry is not necessarily illegal, it is something that can erode our work and school environment and fray relationships we have with friends, family, and neighbors.
Here are some effective resources to help curb this debilitating behavior. Teaching Tolerance's Speak Up! initiative provides materials that help individuals stand up to everyday bigotry. These materials include a guidebook, six steps, campaign framework, workshop format, and pledge card. Each tool may be used on its own or in concert with others in the set.
Six Steps to Speaking Up Against Everyday Bigotry
:: GO TO UNABRIDGED VERSION Six Steps to Speaking Up
Being prepared gives us confidence, and supports our making smart, well thought-out decisions. Here are six steps to consider when making the choice to confront everyday bias.
Be ready. You know another moment like this will happen, so prepare yourself for it. Think of yourself as the one who will speak up. Promise yourself not to remain silent.
Identify the behavior. Sometimes, pointing out the behavior candidly helps someone hear what they're really saying. When identifying behavior, however, avoid labeling, name-calling, or the use of loaded terms. Describe the behavior; don't label the person.
Appeal to principles. If the speaker is someone you have a relationship with – a sister, friend, or co-worker, for example – call on their higher principles.
Set limits. You cannot control another person, but you can say, "Don't tell racist jokes in my presence anymore. " Then follow through. The point is to draw the line.
Find an ally/Be an ally. When frustrated in your own campaign against everyday bigotry, seek out like-minded people and ask them to support you in whatever ways they can. And don't forget to return the favor.
Be vigilant. Remember: Change happens slowly. People make small steps, typically, not large ones. Stay prepared, and keep speaking up. Don't risk silence.

Hellbenders may not be pretty, but these strictly aquatic salamanders are as interesting as their awesome name implies — and they can grow up to two feet long, which makes them the largest North American amphibian. Unfortunately, many of the streams where hellbenders oncse lived are now too polluted to support the species, which is also threatened by unsustainable collection, persecution by anglers, disease, fish stocking and loss of genetic diversity. As a consequence, the hellbender is facing drastic population declines across its range in the eastern United States.
The Center is working to secure federal protection for the hellbender. In April 2010 we filed a scientific petition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list 404 Southeast aquatic, riparian and wetland species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, including the hellbender.
We were also specifically seeking protection for the Ozark hellbender, a subspecies of hellbender native to streams of the Ozark plateau in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. That subspecies languished for nearly a decade on the Service's "candidate list" with dozens of other imperiled animals and plants that have been declared deserving of protection but whose federal safeguards have been postponed indefinitely. In September 2010, the Service finally proposed to list the Ozark hellbender as endangered, but the agency refused to grant the salamander any critical habitat as is required under the Endangered Species Act. So two months later, the Center filed comments urging the Service to finalize the listing and designate critical habitat for the Ozark hellbender.
Happily, under the landmark agreement we reached with the Service to speed up protection decisions for 757 species — including the Ozark hellbender — the agency gave this incredible amphibian the "endangered" status it deserves in October 2011. In September 2013, it agreed to a binding deadline on a protection decision for the eastern hellbender, along with decisions for numerous other species.

He's a Player: Mills goes back to back
BLUFFTON, S.C. – It already has been a scorching summer for Corbin Mills. And it's only two weeks old.
A few days after winning the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship in Bandon, Ore., the Clemson junior made a cross-country trip to his native South Carolina and added the Players Amateur title to his resume, thrusting him into contention for a U.S. Walker Cup berth and likely booking him for consecutive PGA Tour events next April.
Mills, who led after each of the first three rounds, finished at 12-under 276 Sunday at Belfair's East Course, one shot ahead of LSU sophomore Curtis Thompson and incoming Stanford freshman Patrick Rodgers. The U.S. Public Links winner typically receives an invitation to the Masters in Augusta, Ga., and the Players winner gets an exemption to the RBC Heritage, held at Harbor Town Golf Links on nearby Hilton Head Island the week after the Masters.
Mills led the Players by three shots entering Sunday's final round, but fell out of the top spot after struggling on the opening nine holes. He rebounded nicely with four birdies on the back nine for a final-round 72 to hold off Thompson (66) and Rodgers (67). The Easley, S.C., resident is the first Clemson golfer to win the Players title.
Sunday's final round marked Mills' 13th round of golf in two weeks. He played nine rounds en route to winning the U.S. Public Links title July 3 at Bandon Dunes.

Producers' Lab
Firelight Media Announces the 2014 winners of the Firelight Media Freshman Fund (F3)Firelight Media announces the 2014 winners of the Firelight Media Freshman Fund (F3) award, which supports non-fiction filmmakers of color ages 30 and under. The winners of the F3 award receive a $5,000 grant to support the production of their project and membership in the Firelight Media Producers' Lab. Support for the Firelight Freshman Fund is generously provided by the Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund of The New York Community Trust.
The two winners are:
Bao Nguyen, a Vietnamese American filmmaker whose past work has been seen in the New York Times, Al Jazeera, HBO, ARTE, PBS, among many others. He has directed, produced, and shot a number of short films, which have played internationally in numerous festivals and museums including MoMA PS1 and the Smithsonian. His graduate thesis film, "Julian," won a CINE Golden Eagle Award, the Best Student Documentary Short at the Palm Springs ShortsFest, the Special Jury Prize at DOCNYC, and was nominated for an IDA Award. He recently produced "2030", a feature narrative set in near future Vietnam and is a recipient of the TFI Sloan Filmmaker Award. He is a 2011 PBS/WGBH Producers Workshop Fellow and an alumnus of the 2012 Berlinale Talent Campus. He earned his BA in Politics/ International Relations at NYU and a MFA in Social Documentary Film at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
His project, "The Betel Begins The Conversation" is a feature length documentary that follows the potential legalization of same-sex marriage in Vietnam through the lives of several LGBT Vietnamese and their families.
About being a recipient of the F3 Award, Nguyen says, "I am honored and grateful to be selected to receive the Firelight Freshman Fund and join the Firelight community. Firelight Media is an organization's whose mission truly resonates with my core values as a filmmaker. I believe there is not just a need to tell stories about underrepresented communities but also a need to have stories told FROM underrepresented communities. Thank you again to Firelight for this opportunity."
Dinesh Sabu is currently directing and producing his first feature-length documentary with Kartemquin Films. He has served in a variety of capacities on such Kartemquin Films as No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson and A Good Man, in addition to shooting part of the forthcoming American Arab. In addition to his work at Kartemquin, Dinesh works as a freelance filmmaker in Chicago shooting documentaries as well as collaborating with organizations such as the University of Chicago, the Chicago Justice Project and the Old Town School of Folk Music.
Dinesh is committed to youth education and youth media. After teaching at Community TV Network from 2006 to 2009, he served on its Board of Directors as President. He also serves on Cinema Chicago's Education Advisory Committee, which organizes monthly film screenings for youth as well as the annual CineYouth Film Festival.
His project, "Unbroken Glass" confronts the sudden deaths of his parents when he was just 6-years old. Now, twenty-years after their deaths, Dinesh sets out on a journey to find out more about his parents' story. Along the way, Dinesh confronts his own trauma of being orphaned, resurfaced memories of his parents' volatile relationship, and faces his own risk of mental illness, while breaking the silence about his mother's schizophrenia. His desire to revisit the past risks upsetting the carefully maintained balance he and his siblings have constructed over the past twenty years.
About being a recipient of the F3 Award Sabu says, "As an emerging filmmaker making a personal documentary, it's a true honor to have the support of Firelight for my project. I'm excited to receive funding, but even more excited to participate in Firelight's Producers Lab with some incredibly talented and well-known people in the documentary community. To me, this support vindicates the long journey of making this documentary so far."
Firelight Media's Producers' Lab is a mentorship program for talented and independent media makers of color. Participants work with award-winning filmmaker, Stanley Nelson, and a team of senior producers, writers, editors, new media, and fundraising specialists to complete their projects for a national broadcast. The Lab also provides monthly workshops and seminars to our producers on relevant and contemporary topics. Firelight Media started the Producers' Lab as a way to provide infrastructure support for diverse producers to help overcome some of the barriers to completing their film or video.
Firelight Media Announces 2013 Next Step Media Fund GranteesFirelight Media today announced the 2013 recipients of the Next Step Media Fund, which will distribute $70,000 in funding to documentary film projects created by participants in Firelight Media's Producers' Lab, a mentorship program for talented, independent producers of color. "The Next Step Media Fund helps to demonstrate that Firelight's Producers' Lab is more than just a mentorship program. In addition to helping these filmmakers prepare their work for national broadcast, we are providing holistic support to a whole new generation of independent filmmakers of color," says Marcia Smith, Co-Founder and President of Firelight Media, "and being able to provide direct financial support at a critical stage demonstrates our commitment to making a long-term commitment to these participants."
The Next Step Media Fund grants are being provided for the second year, through funding from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation designed to support and encourage a diverse slate of emerging filmmakers. "The MacArthur Foundation supports documentary films that explore contemporary issues through powerful human stories, challenge stereotypes and misperceptions, and promote understanding and empathy for different points of view," said Kathy Im, Director of Media, Culture and Special Initiatives at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, "We are thrilled to support Firelight Media and its Next Step Media Fund because this program nurtures a cadre of filmmakers very likely to direct and produce the type of films we'd like to see made."
Four 2013 projects were selected to receive funding and were chosen from Firelight Media's current roster of Producers' Lab participants by a jury comprised of: Tamir Muhammad (Tribeca Film Institute); Cynthia Lopez (POV); Film programmer Chi-Wei Yang, and Firelight's Stanley Nelson (Co-Founder) and Loira Limbal (Deputy Director).
Each of these projects has received direct mentorship support from award-winning filmmaker and Firelight Co-Founder Stanley Nelson who says, "it's one thing to provide guidance to these filmmakers, but without direct fiscal support many projects don't get made, and so we're invested in making sure that we see our Producers' Lab participants through the entire process—guiding them in their filmmaking practice, supporting them as they work towards broadcast, and now, ensuring that they have some funding to rely on during phases of production where support is always needed, but often unavailable. In the future, we hope to be able to support the entire lab with this much needed funding."
The projects selected to receive a total of $70,000* include:
Wednesdays in Mississippi by Marlene McCurtis - $15,000
Wednesdays in Mississippi tells the little known story of the unlikely alliance and friendship between the "Godmother of the Civil Rights Movement", Dr. Dorothy Height and Polly Cowan, a wealthy, New York Jewish activist. In defiance of a world in which women took their lead from their husbands, in defiance of the unacknowledged sexism inherent within the Civil Rights Movement itself, and in defiance of a world in which black women worked for white women, not with them, these two remarkable women fought together to effect lasting change.
Hazing: How Badly Do You Want In by Byron Hurt - $10,000
Hazing will be a 60-minute documentary film that will explore why the controversial practice of hazing continues to be widely seen as a meaningful and legitimate rite of passage, despite mounting lawsuits, fraternity/sorority chapter suspensions, increased media coverage, serious injuries, arrests, and tragic deaths.
Trapped by Dawn Porter - $15,000
Trapped will follow the progress of two Southern abortion clinics – Reproductive Health Services of Montgomery in Montgomery, AL and the Jackson's Women Health Organization in Jackson, MS as they struggle to stay open in the face of an increasingly hostile legal and political climate.
Mr. SOUL! by Melissa Haizlip - $15,000
From 1968-73, America got SOUL! – television's first "black Tonight Show." The film celebrates the groundbreaking PBS series from its genesis to its eventual loss of funding against the backdrop of a swiftly changing political and social landscape, while profiling Ellis Haizlip, the charismatic man behind one of the most culturally significant and successful television shows in U.S. history.
*A fifth project will be announced at a later date

The Sovereignty Commission was overseen by the Governor of Mississippi and handpicked board of 12 of the most powerful men in the state. The Commission's purpose was to preserve segregation at any cost. It was granted broad powers to investigate private citizens and organizations, to keep secret files, to make arrests and even to compel testimony. To do this, they employed a network of investigators and informants to infiltrate civil rights organizations and undercut their efforts. Ultimately, the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission spied on tens of thousands of Americans and collected over 160,000 pages of files.

What's Next for Firelight? -- A Word From Stanley NelsonAs we wrap up the summer, I am especially excited about our two newest projects: one film about the Black Panther Party and another one about Freedom Summer. This Fall promises to be exciting as we start doing interviews and collecting footage.
For me, these projects are so close together in terms of era—1964 and 1966, but they are incredibly different stories. In many ways they are about different paths to liberation for African Americans. These projects are important now because we want to capture the voices of those who were active in those struggles and are aging. They are also about how individuals can participate and make a call to action in very different ways: one group fighting for the vote and for change within the system and the other saying we need drastic revolutionary change in this country. In many ways, young people have mythologized them, but many don't know the true story. We want to make these figures human and demonstrate that the people who participated were really young. Movements can happen if you participate and if you believe in them.

Summary: This book is designed to help you find the good life. By that, I don't mean swimming pools, mansions, and private jets -- unless those are really your big passions. But if you picked up a book called I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was, you're probably looking for a lot more than a swimming pool. You want a life you will love. A friend's father got it right when he said ''The good life is when you get up in the morning and can't wait to start all over again.'' Is that y ...show moreou? Or does his idea of the good life sound like an unreachable paradise? If you aren't the kind of person who jumps out of bed every morning excited about the day ahead, I know you desperately long to find a goal that will make you feel like my friend's father. You crave work that will spark excitement and energy; you yearn to find the place where you can make your mark. Albert Schweitzer found his place, so did Golda Meir, and so did the kid next door who practiced guitar day and night. They knew how to live. They believed in what they were doing with all their hearts. They knew their work was important. When you get near people who are pursuing their heart's desire, you can see the intensity on their faces. Life is just too short to live without that kind of focus. In the early 1980s, two Harvard psychologists completed a study of people who called themselves happy. And what did happy people have in common? Money? Success? Health? Love? None of these things. They had only two things in common: They knew exactly what they wanted and they felt they were moving toward getting it. That's what makes life feel good: when it has direction, when you are headed straight for what you love. And I mean love. I don't mean what you're skilled at. I don't really care what your skills are. When I was a single working mother with two babies, you know what my skills were? I could clean house like a demon; catch a moving bus with my arms full of laundry, groceries, and kids; and squeeze a dollar un ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 94

Ah, the Station Library. I can smell the Starbucks coffee now . . . nothing better than a Mocha Latte on a cool fall afternoon. If you haven't been over to the newly renovated Library, you need to go check it out. We have completely reinvented what most people think a military library normally would be. We set out with a vision to make our library smell like, taste like and act like the same environment you would find at a Barnes & Noble. Now, it would be cool to have a Barnes & Noble in Havelock, but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. So we decided to give our Marines and Families the next best thing. We renovated the inside, put in windows to bring in natural light, gave it a warm inviting décor and plopped down a full blown Starbucks right inside the front door.
The real changes though, are in the daily operations of the library. We now have a "Virtual Library" with over 215,000 EBooks available for free download to our patrons E-Reader, iPad, smart phone or laptop. There is no longer the need to check out a bag full of books to lug around. If you don't have an E-Reader, no problem, we have over 150 electronic devices that you can check out with the book you want to read downloaded onto it and you are off. Commandants or SgtMaj of the Marine Corps reading list, no problem, we have all their books preloaded on E-Readers for you check out also. In addition, our Periodical section has also been upgraded with lots of new magazines available and up to one year of back issues stored right behind the one on the shelf. Oh . . . so you don't want to sit in the library to read the magazines . . . we have over 100 "FREE" E-magazine subscriptions available for download right to your personal computer or device through Zinio. Sign up and every month when the new Robb Report comes out, it will be available to you on your device. If you are into music, sign up for FreeGal and get three free song downloads a week . . . MP3 songs that are yours to keep and use as you see fit.
If you are taking higher education classes while here at Cherry Point, we have productivity computers for you to use that are loaded with all the latest software programs to make your execution of homework and research easy and enjoyable. Free printing and copying and fax service, are all available to you as well.
If you have children, you have got to check out our new children's area. We have all the latest children's books, learning computers set up just for the little folks in their area. While there, check out the events we have scheduled from weekly story time to seasonal events especially for the kids.
We also have all new furniture, which makes it a great place to relax, check your E-mail or Facebook and enjoy some downtime along with that great cup of coffee. For more information just hit the link below or stop by, we would love to see you…

Information Technology works with faculty to enhance their teaching and research via technology. We provide the level of support you need, from quick consultation to full-fledged project development. Let us know how we can help.
Every classroom has technology. If you have additional software or hardware needs that would benefit your class, please contact us. Faculty initiative has led to the use of clickers (personal response systems) and Tablet PCs at Bowdoin.
Want to engage students with an exercise that uses technology? We will work with you to customize the technology for your class and provide any training and support to your students. We regularly support course projects that use Video, GIS, Excel, and digital recording and analysis of interviews.
Larger technology projects to benefit your courses may be submitted to the TAP process for review. Example projects: Japanese Gardens, and the Maine Watershed Web.
Every summer IT offers Workshops for Faculty that focus on a particular technology and its pedagogical implications. In the past we've offered workshops on Blended Learning with Blackboard, Multimedia Narratives, and Visualization. We welcome your suggestions for future workshops.
Contact Tina Finneran at email@example.com or 725-3897.
IT's support of faculty research is as diverse as the research itself.
We provide an array of specialized software that is used for research. Training and support for ArcGIS and NVivo qualitative data analysis are offered. Targeted trainings can be arranged per request.
For computationally intensive research, Bowdoin has Computational Computing resources for faculty and students.
We can also support data management, analysis, visualization, and dissemination for research projects. For example, we assisted with the visualization and sharing of data from the Bowdoin Buoy Facility.
Technology projects to facilitate your research may be submitted to the TAP process for review. We also have summer student funding for research projects that involved technology through the Gibbons Summer Research Program.
Contact Tina Finneran at firstname.lastname@example.com or 207-725-3897.
Do you have a project idea or request related to your teaching or research that involves technology? We'd like to talk with you about it.
Information Technology has a formalized process for faculty projects called TAP. IT staff are available to help you frame out the technology component for an internal TAP proposal or any external grant proposal, such as NEH's Digital Humanities grants.
The Gibbons Summer Research Program funds students to work with faculty on projects that use technology to explore interdisciplinary areas and to develop fresh approaches to the study of complex problems.
You may want to peruse Selected Projects on the left.
Contact Tina Finneran at email@example.com or 725-3897.
All faculty at Bowdoin have two web spaces. Your Bowdoin faculty page is your official page. Faculty pages are standardized and must contain this basic information:
In addition, we can help you craft a more robust page with biographical information, research interests, projects, etc. The depth of the page is entirely up to you. Generally, there is a short introductory section and then a tabbed box that contains additional information. An example faculty page can be found here: bowdoin.edu/faculty/c/cjudd
Please contact David Israel (firstname.lastname@example.com) for assistance with your faculty page.
Additionally, you can submit information for you Faculty Page using [ this form ].
Personal Web Space
In addition to your official faculty page, Information and Technology provides a personal web space to be used at your discretion. Information on personal web space can be found on the Information and Technology site.
Several members of Information Technology's staff are specifically focused on supporting faculty's technology needs. We provide services and work on projects in conjunction with staff from the Library, Communications, and IT to support the academic mission of Bowdoin College.

Competition chili isn't your family's chili recipe.
Competition chili contains no beans or "fillers" such as pasta, etc. There are a few main characteristics. Taken from the International Chili Society:
"TASTE, above all else is the most important factor. The taste should consist of the combination of the meat, peppers, spices, etc, with no particular ingredient being dominant, but rather a blend of the flavors.
CONSISTENCY Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy.
AROMA Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.
COLOR Chili should look appetizing. Reddish brown is generally accepted as good. Chili is not yellow or green.
BITE Bite or after taste is the heat created by the various type of chili peppers and chili spices."
This type of chili is not a kind I would make everyday for the family. Due to the time and expense that goes into competition chili, I save it for events, special occasions, and cook-offs.
The cooks that participate in these chili cook-offs spend years perfecting their spices, recipe, and techniques. Yes there are techniques to cooking a "perfect" batch of chili, from the timing of the addition of spices, to the proper temperature to get the meat just right.
Most all cooks are very secretive…almost like a solitary fraternity. They tell no one of their tricks or recipes, except for maybe one other cook they really trust. One such cook gave me some advice and counseling under sworn secrecy. I will never break that trust, and will never divulge what I came up with myself, nor what he told me. As he explained, he had spent over 5 years, coming up with his winning recipe, going through dozens upon dozens of batches of chili. All that chili and competitions adds up in the cost column, and I can understand the secrecy among cooks.
So the next time you see one of the Barbecue or such cook-off shows on the Food Network, that's like what chili cooks are like…only more solitary as usually in competitions there is no "team", just an individual cook.

(EW.com) -- Jay-Z's got a lot of reasons to smile this week.
First off, he's married to Beyoncé. Still! But more immediately, the man's latest effort, Magna Carta Holy Grail, is killing it commercially: Soundscan reports that the album moved a blockbuster 527,000 copies in its first week, giving Jay the 13th No. 1 album of his career.
EW: Jay-Z shoots video at art gallery
That number exceeds the high-profile bows of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (339,000 its first week out), and Kanye West's Yeezus (327,000). It's still, however, lower to the year's biggest debut, Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, which notched 968,000.
Regardless, Jay himself (plus the RIAA) considers MCHG to be already platinum thanks to the downloads its Samsung app garnered, so there's that too.
EW: Jay-Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' - What do you think?
And there's yet another front Hov has dominated: Spotify. MCHG snagged the record for the most first-week streams on the platform, with 14 million album streams tallied up in the United States alone. That performance outlaps the previous record-holders, Daft Punk's RAM (9.5 million) and Mumford & Sons' Babel (8 million). MCHG also broke Spotify's record for most single-day streams.
Also this weekend, his stadium tour with Timberlake begins its American run with two dates at Yankee Stadium. As Mrs. Carter might say, bow down, b**ches.

How to Buy a Leotard:
Buying a leotard can be just like buying any other piece of clothing that you purchase. Using basic clothes-buying tips, you can purchase a leotard for yourself for yoga, the gym or a dance class. Use the same techniques to find a leotard for a child who is beginning a dance or tumbling class.
- Determine what your needs are in buying a leotard. This might be for a dance class, dance performance, yoga class or even for work-out attire. Once you have determined your purpose, you can move on to deciding what type of fabric or material your leotard should be made of. There are many selections to pick from, such as cotton, lycra and spandex. Also, consider if your leotard selection needs to have a built in bra or extra lining. Consider the style of leotard you will purchase to make sure that it has the support and style for the type of activity it will be worn for.
- Check with dancewear or fitness retailers. These are found in malls, shopping centers, work-out facilities, dance studios and booths set up at dance workshops and conventions. These retailers will have large selections of basic leotards and are more than willing to work with you to order a leotard for you from one of their catalogs.
- Ask your dance instructor to help you select a leotard to order from one of their dancewear catalogs. These can usually be shipped anywhere from overnight to several weeks, depending upon how much you want to spend and how soon you will need the leotard. If you are buying leotards for an entire group, ordering through your dance director is usually the best way to handle a large purchase.
- Order leotards directly from the manufacturer by way of the information listed in the back of dance magazines and periodicals.
- Search online or the Internet to find dancewear or fitness retailers to order online and have your leotard purchase shipped directly to your door step.

Michael "Mikey Dread" Campbell: Forward To Zion
- Words: Tomas Palermo
The music community is mourning the loss of another reggae great. Michael Campbell, also known as Mikey Dread, succumbed to a brain tumor on Saturday, March 15. He was 54. Campbell was a singer, producer, radio DJ, TV broadcaster, label owner, and performer whose career spanned nearly four decades. By all accounts, Campbell, who toured with and produced music with '80s rockers The Clash and vocalist alike, was an affable, down-to-earth person who possessed an infectious drive for life.
XLR8R paid tribute in 2007 on his radio broadcast's 30th anniversary. Campbell had pioneered the use of jingles and sound effects on his Dread At The Controls radio program on the Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation and played socially conscious roots reggae at a time when it was frowned upon. His many jingles and drops, including phrases like "Riddim Full A Culture" and "Is That A Turntable? Well Get On It!," have been sampled by Coldcut, Public Enemy, and on scores of electronic dance singles.
Campbell recorded several highly regarded vocal and dub albums, including Pave The Way (Heartbeat), BeyondWorld War III (Heartbeat), Obsession (Ryko), and his 2007 recording Life Is A Stage. His dub albums, including Dubwise (DATC) and African Anthem (Auralux), are considered to be among the genre's finest. Campbell also produced artists like Rod Taylor, Earl 16, and Edi Fitzroy, releasing their music and his own dub productions on his DATC label.
Campbell, who had been residing in Connecticut, is survived by two sons in Jamaica, a daughter who lives in Houston, TX, a son who lives in Canada, a daughter in Belize, and his four-month old son. Listen to his last recorded radio interview with podcaster Mama ASID at Bad Gals Radio.
