A majority of the following FAQs can also be answered in the Grants Management Handbook, which is located as a download on the Grants Management Enterprise homepage.
Completion Reports
Completion Reports must be submitted to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) within 90 calendar days after the project end date.
Rejected Completion Reports must be resubmitted to ADE within 30 da
That years project will be placed on Completion Report Overdue hold. Any future/current year projects would then be placed on Completion Report-Prior Year Completion Report hold and all payments will be suspended until ADE is in receipt of a valid Completion Report.
The Grants Management Enterprise System will send an auto-generated rejection email notification to the contact person(s) email address(es) listed on the Contacts Page of the Completion Report. The email will include comments as to why it has been rejected, how to make corrections and any other pertinent information. Once a Completion Report has been rejected an LEA has 30 days from the rejection date to re-enter the online Completion Report process, edit and make necessary changes to the rejected Completion Report, and resubmit.
Yes Completion Reports are required for ALL grants, meaning both state and federal.
Make appropriate transfers to local funds to resolve the over-expenditure. Re-adjust the reported expenditure to match the approved total budget, and then submit the Completion Report.
The ability to transfer all or partial monies from one line item to another is dependent upon grant guidelines and program office approval. Any requested changes cannot be acted upon until approved by the program office. Anticipated expenditures that would cause an overexpenditure or unauthorized expenditure must be requested no later than 90 days prior to the project end date. Final expenditures (with the exception of Indirect Cost) may exceed the last approved line items by no more than 10% or $1,000, whichever is greater, without exceeding the budget total.
All approved budget line items except Indirect Cost. Indirect Cost may not exceed the indirect cost rate times the subtotal of the actual expenditures, excluding capital outlay.
Once the Completion Report has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate program office, funds will be released up to the amount remaining or to bring the balance to zero, whichever is less.
No. Whether a grant/project requires a programmatic narrative is contingent upon the specific program guidelines governing the particular grant. To find out if a grant/project requires a programmatic narrative along with the completion report, contact the appropriate program office responsible for administering the grant and/or go to the Completion Reports Downloads link found on the Grants Management Enterprise homepage.
There are three ways to check.
- Click on the Project Summary hyperlink from the Grants Management Enterprise homepage. Filter by choosing the specific FY, grant, and entity in question and click on the button "Show Projects". Click on the project and scroll to the bottom and click on the "Previous Projects CR Status" button. Then next page will display the status of all Completion Reports for that particular grant.

Calvin, among his other points starts with the point that we are totally depraved and sinful from birth. What is the Biblical basis for this point?
This is a good place to start: Btw, the Hebrew for "polluted garment" is more literally "menstrual rag". But I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about total depravity. The Heidelberg Catechism has this to say about what it means to do something good: And who would argue that natural man can do anything that fits that definition apart from grace? Here is the Canon of Dordt on the topic of total depravity: If you simply delete the word "regenerating" from that article, you get something that both John Wesley and Thomas Aquinas could agree to (because of prevenient grace). Understood this way, total depravity is not a "Calvinist" doctrine but one affirmed by the whole western church (the Eastern Orthodox have a distinctly different understanding of original sin). It only becomes Calvinist-specific when you start arguing over prevenient vs. regenerating grace, which to me seems like a pretty minor issue. |
While I agree with warren's answer, I do believe like Ray points out that this is mostly about the original sin, transmitted from Adam to all of his offspring. Total depravity goes beyond that, as it states that we are not only sinners, but that we are not even righteous enough to accept Christ on our own. On the fact that all have sinned, we can refer to Romans 3:23, KJV: and on the fact that we are not able to deserve salvation by our own efforts, you can see Titus 3:5, KJV: |
and Psalm 51, especially verse 5 are generally the first references for the doctrine. God's reason for destroying the world with water in Genesis via the flood was that "the imaginations of the heart of men are only evil continually". If there are "none righteous", and we are "brought forth in iniquity", then we have already failed to keep God's holy standard, and are, therefore, depraved from birth. If we are depraved from birth, and we cannot do righteously, then it is throughout the totality of our being. |
One thing to consider is that the doctrine of unconditional election goes hand-in-hand (logically) with the doctrine of total depravity. To establish this relationship, there are several passage to consider. The idea being that through sin, man is naturally "dead," and so predisposed against choosing the good news of God's salvation such that, left to his own devices, man won't believe and accept the free grace of Jesus's redemptive work. Here is one passage, where one has to kind of read between the lines a bit is (emphasis mine): Bearing this in mind (i.e. we were once dead, but we've been made alive), it's also interesting to note that reconciliation occurs at the point where man is still in emnity with God: ...and kind of along the same vein, this verse touches on the the heart of belief with a sort of tautology: So if we think about the nature of belief, then this one should be a bit obvious, but it raises an interesting question. We only believe that which we believe to be true (the obvious part), so what would it take to suddenly believe that which one considers folly...and all the more a folly offered by one's enemy? In other words, if someone is an enemy of God (which we are before we're reconciled), and we believe the gospel to be folly (which we do before we believe it to be true), then how does one swap from a state of disbelief to a state of belief? Ezekiel answers this question ... it takes a (quite literally!) change of heart: This is regeneration. None of this would be necessary if man we already predisposed to be in harmony and faith with God, but since he's not, it requires a spiritual intercession to to soften man's heart. He is born again, and given the capacity for faith. This is the birth by spirit described in this passage: This is also described in this: Titus is particularly significant here, because it actually identifies the regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirirt as the means through which salvation is extended. So, in summary, Salvation occurs by grace through faith, and is applied by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. This regeneration is the (nec.) second birth which gives those dead in their sin a new life with a new heart with which they are able to believe. This regeneration is nec. because the old, stoney heart of sinful man is, otherwise, unable (universally unwilling, if preferred :) ) to believe on the perceived folly of the gospel of grace presented by God (with whom man is at odds). |

Pope Francis, we are told, is a doctrinal conservative and a champion of the poor. If he reigns in that manner, balancing core beliefs and compassion, Chicago Catholics may find in him a pontiff they can joyfully embrace.
It is heartening that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires, took the papal name of Francis, honoring one of the church's most selfless, most giving and least authoritarian saints, Francis of Assisi.
St. Francis, though born to wealth and position, cared nothing for material things and even less for hierarchy or rules. He cared to ease suffering in the world.
This, we dare to say, is what the great majority of Chicago Catholics hope to find in their new pope — a leader who embodies those simple values of faith and charity taught to generations of Catholic boys and girls by a dwindling army of nuns. The nuns did not water down Catholic theology, but they did emphasize the positive — what a Godly man or woman should do in this world, not just what they should never do.
A good Catholic, the nuns always said, should clothe the naked and feed the poor. A good Catholic should walk through life with humility, reminded with a smudge on the forehead every Ash Wednesday that "from the dust we came and to the dust we shall return." A good Catholic should oppose abortion, yes, but also come to the aid of every unwanted child.
Too often in recent decades, the Catholic Church has been defined — and defined itself — by what it opposes in modern life. It has stood mightily against abortion. It has opposed premarital sex and all forms of contraception. It has opposed same-sex marriage.
It has opposed the ordination of women as priests. It has called on the carpet American nuns whose only offense was to look and sound a little too liberal, focusing on issues of poverty and health care rather than on abortion.
The church has, at the same time, been self-destructively insular, secretive and fumbling, horribly mishandling scandals over sex abuse and Vatican finances.
But without abandoning fundamental doctrine — a religion that drifts from core beliefs is a religion that fades away — the Catholic Church could do more under Pope Francis to remind the world that its primary mission also includes great love and humanitarian service.
The new pope could — and how we wish he would — resurrect the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's wise teachings on the "consistent ethic of life." A faithful Catholic, Bernardin taught, values the sanctity of human life from conception to death and, for that reason, opposes abortion but also works for social justice. In keeping with this "seamless garment" philosophy, he called for greater government help for the poor and opposed nuclear proliferation and capital punishment.
While Chicago Catholics obviously are not of one mind on such public policy issues, we suspect they share our concern that the Church should be less a "party of no" and more a force for enlightened good.
We hope Pope Francis will visit Chicago one day, where he would witness hundreds of Catholic schools, churches, hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions — many even now run by nuns — doing God's best work every day.
Faith and hope are nothing, the nuns always said, without love.

A remote remodel
There are a couple of good reasons why radio stations execute remote broadcasts. First, it's a great way to interact with the local audience; and second, it can often be a nice revenue source for the station.
As the station engineer, you may be charged with determining the best way to execute remotes for the station. For our purposes, let's assume that you're putting together a brand new system without any legacy equipment. We'll focus primarily on 21
Wired vs. unwired
When setting up a system for remotes decide if with the wired route or the unwired route fits the application. This distinction is clouded somewhat with the wide availability of the public Internet, so there is quite a bit of crossover with some of the equipment that is available.
Generally speaking, the wired route is based on older technology. You could totally rely on the local telephone company to provide wire connections back to the station. In the old days you could order an 8kHz or 15kHz audio circuit. While they often worked well (and they often didn't) they always required a test visit before the day of the remote. The tariffs are usually quite high for this type of circuit, so unless you planned on originating multiple remotes from the same location, this type of wired circuit was not economical.
In the early 1990s, ISDN codecs became available and supplanted the dedicated audio circuits. While an ISDN circuit was often less expensive (not only for installation but also on a monthly basis) it had much in common with the older style of lines: the telephone company required a couple of weeks to install it, and it still needed to be tested ahead of the remote date. To a great extent, the quality of the remote broadcast audio depended on the codec itself and not the quality of the telephone company technician that installed the line. On the other hand the complexity of the ISDN codecs sometimes scuttled the remotes.
The unfortunate reality is that ISDN is now also obsolete; some telephone companies balk when the customer wants to place an ISDN order. The reason is pretty simple: There are better ways to get more data over a single copper pair, which means more money for them. Telephone service providers are inclined to spend their capital dollars on equipment that can handle these new methods, forsaking the older.
So what are you left with if you want to make use of wired circuits for remotes? POTS (though also becoming obsolete in its pure form) is ubiquitous so that is an option, and the Internet is readily available in many places because of DSL technology. Still, there are lots of options for wired connections.
Comrex has many years of experience in building equipment used to broadcast remotes over plain old telephone circuits and not surprisingly its current line includes all the features and functionality that you would expect. The Matrix codec field version has one mic-level input, one mic or line level input, a headphone output and a line-level out as well. The studio version is 1RU and does not have the mixer and headphone features. The Matrix uses an on-board POTS codec that can provide 15kHz of duplex audio response depending on the quality of the POTS connection. However, the user can also add modules to the Matrix such as the Portable ISDN module, the Matrix GSM module or the Matrix Telcell module.
Comrex also offers the Access, which takes advantage of the increasingly diverse set of connection possibilities: POTS, DSL, cable DSL (as well as 802.11x (Wi-fi), 3G data networks, high-speed cellular data networks). It uses the Comrex-developed Broadcast Reliable Internet Codec and will perform at several user-selectable quality levels. HE-AAC and AAC low-delay are also available for use over robust networks.
Tieline offers the I-mix G3, which is a complete remote broadcast package (mixer and headphone amp built-in). The basic unit is a POTS codec, but it has an expansion slot to plug in other types of codec modules. For example, a second POTS codec module can be added, giving the I-mix the capability of bonding two POTS lines together, providing mono, stereo or even dual-mono feeds of as much as 15kHz in audio bandwidth. Alternatively, the expansion slot can be loaded with Tieline's IP software module, allowing the unit to connect to wired LAN. (ISDN and GSM plug-in modules are available for the I-mix 3 as well.)
Musicam has its own codec that will work via IP: the Netstar. This device can send and receive audio, contact closures and ancillary data via TCP/IP, ISDN or dedicated data lines. It contains not only the standard algorithms such as G.711, G.722, MPEG Layer 2 and MPEG Layer 3, but also MPEG AAC and MPEG Layer 4 AAC-low delay. This unit can deliver uncompressed 20kHz audio with near-zero delay if the IP connection supports it.
Audio TX sells a software package called Communicator that allows the user to create a remote session via TCP/IP through physical connections such as a LAN, Wi-fi or DSL. The PC or laptop on which Communicator runs can also be turned in to an ISDN codec. The Windows software includes algorithms for MPEG Layer 2, Layer 3, G.722 and G.711, and can connect with other manufacturers' codecs.
The APT Tokyo is another full-featured, multiple algorithm codec that can be used over a LAN by way of Ethernet, or via its USB connector. In addition to MPEG Layers 2 and 3, G.711, G.722 and MPEG AAC, it also includes the APT proprietary algorithms such as Standard Apt-x and Enhanced 16, 20 and 24-bit Apt-x. This device features a built-in inverse multiplexer that allows it to use four separate ISDN circuits, and hence provide up to a 512kb/s data rate.
The Orban Opticodec 7600 is a duplex audio codec for use via Ethernet, X.21 or V.35 interfaces, or as many as three ISDN interfaces or mixed with POTS interfaces. Configure and operate the codec directly with the front panel keypad and high-resolution graphical display.
A relatively new player is Mayah, and it recently introduced the Centauri II 3300/3301. This is a codec with multi-channel I/O. The bit rate is determined by the application and can be as low as 160kb/s with AAC+SBR (MPEG4 AAC HE) or as high as 6Mb/s with linear audio. Connectivity via IP and ISDN is possible.
Perhaps the best-known manufacturer of ISDN and POTS codecs is Telos Systems. The Zephyr Xport is a POTS codec that, with the inclusion of the field-installable ISDN option, can be made into an ISDN codec as well. The Xport uses AAC Plus audio coding for POTS connections; MPEG AAC low delay for ISDN connections made with an Xstream on the far end; and its G.722 option allows it to communicate with other G.722 codecs as well. The unit offers a built-in mixer with mic and line-level inputs, and independent headphone outputs that can listen to received audio or monitor mixes.

Today it's Often Called "Autism"
Approximately 30% of "autistics" (diagnosed as such today) are actually schizophrenics. Not all schizophrenics are as severely psychotic as those in the film, and not all schizophrenia has an onset after childhood. Another 30% are individuals with severe personality disorders. But heaven forbid labeling someone these days.
Pharmacology beginning about 20 years later would allow about 80% of the patients you see here to be released with relatively few problems - as long as they were compliant.
Had a schizoid neighbor once whose main symptom (far as I could see) was that he'd get upset if while you were talking to him, your face was not in his direct sight (I guess he couldn't separate "the voices" from the person actually talking to him).
Nice film demonstrating some of the major symptoms of this disease, the exact cause of which is yet to discovered.

Abstract: This film describes and demonstrates four types of schizophrenia. Filmed at various New York institutions, it shows patients singly and grouped in large, outside recreational areas. Some patients are blindfolded. Symptoms shown include: social apathy, delusions, hallucinations, hebephrenic reactions, cerea flexibilitas, rigidity, motor stereotypes, posturing, and echopraxia.

still exists today
As straznge and disturbing as this seems, the masks are in place to conceal the identities of the patients. There was no digital blurring at the time and even placing censor bars was difficult. Looks like it was produced in house as a training film.
It's really a good piece. Today we try so hard to sweep this under the rug yet it still exists, in just this fashion.

Pre-Pharmacologic Era
Someone must remind that at this time pharmacologic treatment for schizophrenia was not yet available. No psychiatric reform, as a political movement, discharged more psychiatric inpatients than the revolution brought by the Psychopharmacolgy.

An Afternoon at the Asylum
An interesting look back at mental illness. Some of it looks like "Simon Says at Ye Olde Nut Shoppe."
The lack of audio increases the surreal effect.
As to their living in the institution it was no doubt better than living on the street as many of the mentally ill do today.
The End.

re doctor positioning patients in 'pantomime'
So many misconceptions here, but the idea of using this film for 'entertainment' is embarrassing and shameful, anyone who finds it entertaining needs to do some serious self-evaluation.
Re consent. Many patients would not understand the filming, they would be too absorbed in their delusions. Some might have thought they were jesus or a king, so it is natural to want to film them. Or they may have feared someone was trying to spy on them (a commonly found delusion). But many would have felt safe in the routine of the hospital and understood it was to educate doctors and students, and could help others with the illness.
Re medications. In the 1940's there was no specific medication for schizophrenia, but sedatives, by closing down ion channels of nerve cells, could have helped to protect the person's brain cells long term from the disease process. In severe cases a great deal of brain tissue can be lost unless something can protect the brain. Despite annoying side effects modern antipsychotic medication do seem to protect nerve cells and slow down the process of the disease.
Re the doctor putting the patient in positions - it is to teach students the difference between the postures of the schizophrenic and those with other muscle problems - there is no spasticity, muscle rigidity - the person with catatonia shows 'waxy flexibility' and a person can move their limbs without sensing any spasm or rigidity of muscle. It also shows what this is - not a muscle disorder but that schizophrenia (when severe) can affect the ability to correctly perceive one's position and posture. People will even rest in a bed with their head up slightly off the pillow.
Re these people having tourettes or ocd instead of schizophrenia - no. These movements are a part of schizophrenia, my homeless (untreated) friends all do things like this. It is a very common part of schizophrenia and easy to see when the person is untreated. Additionally, home videos show these people making the same movements as children long before they were diagnosed - often then the movements will disappear, and not emerge again til the person becomes (obviously) ill. It suggests even more the neurological nature of this illness.
Re the doctor moving the patient's limbs. Incorrect again. The doctor is demonstrating 'waxy flexibility' that is a part of catatonia.
This was a very common demonstration and could be seen again and again in medical schools. It is very important because 'waxy flexibility' differentiates catatonia from other neurological disorders. 'Waxy flexibility' is seen when the person assumes a posture, but someone can move the person's arms or legs for them, and the person will assume the new posture.
The arms or legs are not rigid, spastic or contracted. There is no muscle spasm or tremor. This is important and differentiates catatonia from other problems...it also shows it is about perceiving posture, rather than an actual muscle disorder.

Very Interesting
This film was very interesting, yet haunting.
Schizophrenia at the time must have been the end-all diagnosis for many mentally ill patients. Watching this footage, it is clear many are suffering from OCD and/or Tourette's Syndrome, and perhaps not Schizophrenia at all.
Too bad it was not recorded with sound, I bet it would be interesting to hear what they are saying.
The fact that the catatonics move to a more normal pose in extremely slow motion is similar to what Oliver Sacks found. His patient Myron Z was also moving in slow motion "One of his patients, Myron Z, was basically frozen in odd positions for hours at a time, but Sachs would sometimes notice that Myron had changed positions during these episodes. Sachs pointed this out to Myron, who said "That's ridiculous. I was just wiping my nose." Sachs then filmed Myron over 2 hours and replayed the film at a faster rate of speed. Sure enough, Myron had been moving in slow motion, so slow that it was imperceptible to people with normal time perception. However, Myron didn't realize it. Another patient, Hestor Y, was the opposite. She was living at a greatly increased speed, but also had no idea."
You have to wonder if time actually slowed down for them.
I also wonder if the doctors got the patients dressed up for the filming, it was strange to see them in dresses and suits.

Astounding footage
Disturbing as it may be, the footage in this film effectively reveals many of the various forms of schizophrenia that have afflicted mankind for millenia. Intertitles accompany each scene and fetaure the medical terminology in use at the time. The footage of the man suffering from cerea flexibilitas is quite haunting.

Adult Swim
I recently noticed scenes from this brilliant film used in a suitably surreal and esoteric ad spot for the bizarre late-night cartoon program Adult Swim. It prompted me to rewatch the copy I downloaded from this archive several years ago, and it was just as amazing as when I first watched it. Seeing it again renewed my interest in the archive here and I was very happy to see so many new titles, as well as the larger framework for upload/download. Genius, and so gratious. Thanks. I plan on uploading many films from my own collection to spread the wealth in kind.

Who's Running the Asylum?
A fascinating, but troubling film that makes one wonderÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂwhose behavior is ultimately more disturbing? The masked patients displaying their symptoms or the staff that put the masks on these vulnerable people and filmed them? I canÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt help wondering if the patientsÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ symptoms werenÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt exacerbated by the doctorsÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ dehumanizing treatment of them. Could it be that the ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂapathy and an absence of social contactÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ that this film defines as mental illness could have been brought on by the conditions of their institutionalization? This is not to minimize the reality of psychotic symptoms or the helplessness that psychiatrists at the time felt when they didnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt respond to treatment. This film was made in the era when Freudian psychoanalysis ruled; now we know that these symptoms can be controlled with medication. At least the mental hospital where this film was made looks home-like and the patients appear to be well-fed and cared for, which could be the best that could be done for them. But watching this film brings to mind the fact that about the same time this film was made, Joseph Mengele was carrying out his gruesome experiments in Nazi Germany.

Stand BACK!!
Unworldly little movie no doubt made for doctors to show other doctors case examples of people suffering from schizophrenia.
While some people have called this a freak show, just remember this was made for doctors, so yes, this does have some value. Interesting how some of the patients had crude masks, like in Zorro or some sort of misunderstood superhero.
Also worth noting is that this movie WAS made in the 1930ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs, so a lot about schizophrenia and psychiatry wasnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt really well known at the time, (and heck, Tom Cruise, even Tom CruiseÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Mom wasnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt around to diss it). I wonder how many of these symptoms could be helped by modern drugs today.

Lets keep a few things in perspective here, Marysz.
A fascinating, but troubling film that makes one wonderÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂwhose behavior is ultimately more disturbing? The masked patients displaying their symptoms or the staff that put the masks on these vulnerable people and filmed them?
This film was made as a learning tool for professionals in the field of Psychiatry. Not something to be shown at the Saturday afternoon matinee. They were masked to protect their identities. Furthermore, one man in the film (standing at a window) appeared to be having a very detailed and heated argument with someone, who simply wasn't there. If that level of bizarre behavior makes perfect sense to him, I very seriously doubt he had any qualms about being filmed. In fact, he behaved as though the camera wasn't there. And in his mind (I very much believe) it wasn't.
I canÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt help wondering if the patientsÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ symptoms werenÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt exacerbated by the doctorsÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ dehumanizing treatment of them.
I don't know. But then again, when someone is incurably insane as many (if not all) of the subjects in this film were, the questions that beg asking are: Do they feel its dehumanizing? And if so, how can we know this?
Dehumanizing? That is a pretty strong word, isn't it? And not very accurate. Moving the mans body around was done to demonstrate the symptom of his particular form of Schizophrenia. Not for the amusement of the demonstrator or the audience. I saw no humor in the demonstrators face. What I did see, however, was pity.
Could it be that the ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂapathy and an absence of social contactÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ that this film defines as mental illness could have been brought on by the conditions of their institutionalization?
Brought on? No. Made worse? Sure. We didn't have the variety of psychoactive drugs we do now. So it stands to reason to say that: What doesn't get treated, or is treated incorrectly, only gets worse.
This is not to minimize the reality of psychotic symptoms or the helplessness that psychiatrists at the time felt when they didnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt respond to treatment. This film was made in the era when Freudian psychoanalysis ruled; now we know that these symptoms can be controlled with medication.
Of course Freudian psychoanalysis ruled. The reason it did is because we hadn't discovered the "Chemical Cure". Freudian psychoanalysis was (for all intents and purposes) the only weapon we had to combat the problem. There was, of course, Insulin shock, electro-shock therapy and the frontal lobotomy. But those were spotty at best.
At least the mental hospital where this film was made looks home-like and the patients appear to be well-fed and cared for, which could be the best that could be done for them.
That is about all we could do back then. We were no closer to understanding the nature of Schizophrenia in the 1940's than we were in the 1840's.
But watching this film brings to mind the fact that about the same time this film was made, Joseph Mengele was carrying out his gruesome experiments in Nazi Germany.
I'm trying to draw a line between the legitimate study of the symptoms of different forms of Schizophrenia and Joseph Mengele. Help me understand the correlation between an educational film made for the benefit of the mental health community and a Nazi Doctor - the "Angel of Death" of Auschwitz.

Great film. It was interesting to see the symptoms of schizophrenia "come alive". I had fun trying to figure out what was each patients motivation and pre-psychotic years were like. It is also intreguing because since this film is old, these patients weren't on anti-psychotic medication--so at this point psychiatrists were trying to figure schizophrenics out (which is why they *experiment* with them)--not so much treat them. New psychiatric research had arrived about the illness since the film was made, so it would be interesting to compare a modern film with this one.
If you are interested in seeing a fabulous movie about a schizophrenic (WHICH IS AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL!--unlike many today) see:
"Revolution #9"

Fun with schizophrenics!
Given the age of the film, it's not terribly surprising that little could be done for the people in this film. What is surprising is how much is done to/with them; several forms of schizophrenia on display (this film is essentially an interactive exhibit of the syndrome) allow the "therapist" to pose, push around, and force the sufferers into distorted pantomime. It's a little sad, really, but it does what it promised to do, explores the symptomology of the disease.

LAX Large Cube:
Material: Wood
Brand: MASHstudios
Origin: Imported
All of MASHstudios' understated beds, desks, shelving, tables, and chairs are made from solid English walnut and finished in natural oil, perfectly complementing the line's philosophy that design should be effortless—or at least look it. So believes Bernard Brucha, the founder of this Los Angeles–based firm that specializes in classic white-box commercial interiors softened with subtly curved corners and wood-grain accents. This aesthetic has carried through to the company's LAX series of residential furniture. Pale, powder-coated aluminum panels add a twist to the cabinets and drawers—a clever wink to that white cubicle that's neither cute nor extraneous.

According to Mississippi Highway Patrol Sgt. Ben Williams, the accident happened around 12:30 a.m., two or three miles east of Rosedale.
"He was traveling west on Highway 8, ran off the left side of the road, collided with a tree and over turned," he said.
"He was not wearing his seatbelt," Williams said, adding alcohol and drugs did not appear to be a factor in the accident.
Williams said there was no way to know if the vehicle hydroplaned but it was most likely raining at that time.
It has been reported that Brown was a student at West Bolivar High School and that counselors had been brought into the school.
Funeral arrangements are pending with T.L. Redmon Funeral Home in Cleveland.

The Confidence Series: What is it? How to get it, keep it, and use it!
Part 1: What is Confidence anyway?
Confidence (def): a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances
Self-Confidence (def): confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities
Have you ever been in a room full of people when a confident woman enters? Time stops, and it seems like the entire room, men and women alike, watch her walk in with her head held high. Her look might suggest that she just left the boardroom, hopped of the runway during Fashion Week; or attended her child's piano recital.
That cliché thought crosses your mind, "There's just something about that woman…"
There is a common thread that runs through people who politely demand our attention in this way, and it is confidence. Confidence is the prerequisite for success in almost every area of life. Confidence can make us stand out in the crowd, attract people and opportunities, and give us the internal fuel to pursue dreams and goals. However, in the real world, after searching tirelessly for a new job; waiting and waiting and waiting for a fulfilling relationship; or failing to conquer a major challenge, our confidence can shatter into pieces.
True confidence is a co-creation: You believe something about yourself and the world affirms that belief by treating you "that way". Both are required for true confidence. If you behave powerfully but don't truly feel powerful, you are pretending and underleveraged. If you feel powerful but the world does not affirm it; aspects of you are invisible, or worse…you may be delusional.
Most of us have and communicate confidence in some areas of our lives, but lack it in others.
How do you get confidence?

This dress it awesome, I love the fit and it the style.

Love It!
I bought both colors and love them both! Beautiful!
February 9, 2013
Thin and awkward fit
I agree with the last two reviewers, the fabric is very thin. I was expecting the usual rib logo fabric but it turned out to be a very sheer material that needs a lining. It runs big so If you're looking for a snug fit, go down a size but if you're petite like me and already wear an XS in bebe dresses, you are out of luck unless you have it tailored. The other drawback is the arm pit area. The dress is cut in an way that the fabric protrudes out on both sides under the arms (very obvious when they are not kept down). This is very awkward! Despite the negative features, I still love the design/style of the dress and I bought mine during the holiday season when they had promo so that's why I'll be keeping mine but will have to visit the tailor shop. This is a dress to buy when it goes on sale, not worth the full price.
February 4, 2013
cheap material
I agree with the other review, I as well have 2 other logo dresses but they are not see through and the material is not thin or cheap. I do not recommend, I returned it after I got it on the mail
January 4, 2013
Thin material
I purchased the coral colour on line but was disappointed with the quality of the material. I have another Bebe logo dress that is full length with slits on either side, and that material is thicker. This dress is more like a thin t-shirt. I kept it anyway because I like the colour and it will work really well down in Southern Mexico. I am going to have to wear a slip underneath, it is that thin. The black and white may be a better choice to avoid having to wear a slip. I don't think it is worth the price of $69.

National Dementia Plans
On 14 May 2013, Luxembourg's Health and Family Ministries presented the country's first national dementia plan during a press conference.
The two Ministries will work in concert to carry out the plan. The Ministry of Health will be responsible for the areas of prevention, diagnostic standards, medical reimbursement and education. Meanwhile, the Family Ministry will develop a dedicated website and conduct an awareness campaign that includes a psycho-geriatric training course for health workers.
At the beginning of the conference, both Ministers made the personal comment that one of their parents was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Family Minister Marc Spautz likened awareness of dementia today to that of AIDS 20 years ago: the general public had little or no knowledge about it, so the disease was feared and its sufferers were stigmatised. Mr Spautz is confident that the campaign and the training course will help to eliminate these issues in Luxembourg.
There are an estimated 6,500 people living with dementia in Luxembourg - of which 60% with Alzheimer's disease - and this is expected to reach 8,500 by 2025.

Toyota Tundra Diesel?
Posts: 1
I just passed 120K on my 2004 4-runner without a single problem. I regularly tow 5000 lb horse trailer. I need a truck! I would like a diesel and I would like a Toyota. Any hope?
iqbaldhillon2 Posts: 116
1972ck Posts: 56Hi,
I've heard rumors of a 1 ton diesel with and with out dual wheels in the rear by 2010. I've also heard Toyota was developing it with Caterpillar. Although I'm not sure why they would (develop the diesel w/ Cat) as Toyota has diesels all over the world that are very reliable engines. -
playswithmud Posts: 36toyota isn't going to buy engines from anyone. There's too much at stake to risk influence from a vendor, no matter how great Caterpillar (or Cummins) product may be. Take a peak at the specs for the 2.2 liter D-Cat used in Europe. If they can take those power figures (adjusted down 5% for addl. polution control)They would have competitive power and tourque numbers from a 4.4l V8. The Hi-Lux(same platform as the Tacoma) will soon be available with a HO version of the 3l I4.
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160I have to disagree here. Isuzu and GM are linked with the DuraMax. I seriously doubt GM will just walkaway from what might be the best truck diesel on the market. I also doubt GM will allow the Tundra to also get the DuraMax to be in competition with the GMT900's.
I believe the CAT deal is all but done but not announced.
Toyota's midsized diesels are among the best in the world also so it doesn't need Isuzu there.
But it does need Isuzu engineers. The one key resource that Toyota lacks is brainpower, not because it's dumb but it's expanding so fast there aren't enough good engineers to go around.
In Tokyo Toyota announced that they are using the Isuzu expertise in small vehicles in order to develop a diesel hybrid by MY 2010.

urtundraexpert Posts: 20The tundra 5.7 with its triple tec frame is about three years old in the designing but new to the consumers. toyota is mostly trying to gain a part in the half ton market in the domestic vehicles like ford selling 900,000 f150's. Toyota does roughly 125,000 tundras ytd. But this truck is a step towards getting to diesel buyers. everyone knows you can plow with these right?
abc11 Posts: 1We're so frustrated with Ford/Chevy junk they call trucks and looking to get something reliable for snow plow/tree removal (need dump) business. We need 1 ton or better - thinking about Nissan DU. Worried won't be able to get parts if anything happens.... anyone have suggestions for RELIABLE work truck? Thanks ahead of time.
rsholland Posts: 19,741Toyota is about to inroduce a V8 4.5L DOHC 4-V turbo diesel in the Aussie Land Cruiser 70. If I were a betting man, this is the diesel that the 1/2-ton Tundra will get in few years.

Heavy Duty Diesel
Toyota Motor Corporation has been eyeing the Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 market for a while now, and they have announced that when the Tundra half-ton sales hit 200,000 units per year they will start production of a Tundra diesel. It may be called the Tundra 2500 , and the Tundra 3500 . It is speculated that Toyota will use a 6.4 liter V10 diesel that will produce anywhere from 380-420 horsepower and around 750 pound feet of torque. Motor Trend, and Car and Driver magazines have reported that production for a heavy-duty Tundra will start anywhere from late 2008 to 2010. -
bbradford Posts: 1Word in SAT is it will introduce at the 2008 Chicago auto show and be available as a 2010 model in spring of 2009, the diesel engine will be 10 cyl but more like a VW W10 configuration, designed by Toyota's Hino, castings done in Mexico, with final machine work and assembly done by CAT at a plant in SAT that CAT purchased about a year ago a good possibility with a CAT tranny possible, Tundra's June sales figures put the Tundra at a 200,000 units per year sales rate or above thus exceeding their target in a tough pickup market,

mikon Posts: 7Toyota displayed a "concept" vehicle to get consumer feedback at the LA Auto show. As best I can recall, it had 20-inch wheels and used a Hino turbocharged, 6-cylinder, 500 HP, 800 lb-ft torque engine (I am sure about the torque number). It was a big honking dually that looked awesome. Nothing else I know of from Ford, Chevy, or Dodge comes close.
dieseler1 Posts: 5I have owned an 05 Camry 3.3 v6 and it was the worst motor bad on Fuel Regular and the tranny was horible had hard seats and if you steped on the gas pedal the car didnt know what to do.
I traded for an 07 camry very roomy but with a 2.4 just as bad on gas as the 3.3.
I now have an 05 TDI VW 2.0 turbo Passat a little smaller but it is a performer with 44 mpg. Also have a 98 MB e300 turbo 32 + mpg.
Toyota like the american market is trying to sellus on junk expensive hybrid's wake up Toyota we want the 4D. Why is toyota going to put out a v10 gas guzzler diesel...
Theres nothing out there like the Dodge Cummings Turbo Diesel 2 WD 25 26 mpg.
I hope Honda follows thru with its Accord Diesel. -

p35bhp55 Posts: 2I work for Hino in Marion AR. and we have started hearing whispers about an engine plant, either in Marion or Forrest City AR. There is room at the Marion site but air issues from being located next to Memphis. If Toyota does go deisel, it would surprise me if the engine came from anywhere but Hino.
As far as the poster complaining of bad Toyota gas mileage, it's a fact. They have been forced to redo EPA stickers to reflect real world conditions. There is still a lot of old stuff on the net, go look at the stickers on the cars. My paycheck comes from Toyota (we are a dedicated Tundra parts plant) and I just bought a new Pontiac, didn't make me a big hit with the Japanese supporters at our plant, but a Scion TC that only claims 27 HWY. wasn't going to cut it.
BTW, our supporters swear the FJ Cruiser was a Hino design and Toyota took it.

I received a few samples of Lightlife Smart Cutlets (which are vegetarian - faux meat if you will), for review, and they have been making it easier to have Meatless Mondays for the family. I've already reviewed the LightLife Spicy Sweet & Sour Smart Cutlets was pretty decent, so let me tell you about the Original Lightlife Smart Cutlets.
I followed the directions for doing it on the stove-top, but then got impatient and finished it up in the microwave - I was really hungry! First, I tried it as it - without any condiment enhancement. The texture was thick and ... meaty ... but without the meaty taste. In fact, the taste is sort of wheaty/ soy-ish - not really something I would eat by itself. I made a sandwich with it however, and doused in ketchup and Annie's Naturals Organic Honey Mustard - it was delicious. A pretty good way to get 17 grams of protein with very little fat.
Each of the Lightlife Smart Cutlets (Original) (85 grams) provides 110 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 360 mg of sodium (15% of the daily value), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the DV), 17 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of sugars. The ingredients are, water, textured soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, wheat starch, egg white powder, less than 2% of: yeast extract, cellulose gum, tapioca starch, potato starch, sea salt, natural flavor, salt, canola oil, sunflower oil.
A box with 2 cutlets costs $3.99 at my local grocery store, and I would buy this in the future - not to eat by itself - it definitely needs some seasoning, spices or condiments to enhance the flavor.

Vancouver's TED conference in 2014 isn't for you and me
Loads of people are excited about the famous TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference moving to Vancouver in 2014. There are a few good reasons for this: 1,200 attendees and their personal assistants can't be bad for the economy, and some of them will be the "world's leading thinkers and doers" and the "best TED speakers of all time".
For many of us, however, TED2014—and its satellite conference TEDActive 2014 in Whistler—might as well be taking place in Santiago, Chile. We'll just end up watching the TED talks that "curator" Chris Anderson and company deign to release on YouTube with everyone else, anyways.
You see, tickets cost US$7,500 for TED2014 and US$3,750 for TEDActive 2014. And that's not enough to get you in.
Yes, registering for a TED conference is worse than filling out a job application. Here's the questions that prospective attendees have to answer to just be considered for admission to TEDGlobal 2013 (US$6,000) in Edinburgh, Scotland:
In two crystal clear sentences: What is your principal occupation?
If a friend were to describe your accomplishments in up to three sentences, what would he or she say?
What other achievements would you like to share?
What are you passionate about? (work, creative output, issues, causes, communities…)
What do we need to know about you that we didn't ask? (Up to 300 words)
(Optional) Can you share a memorable anecdote from your life that will give us a further sense of what makes you tick?
(Optional) Have you contributed to the TED Community this year? If so how (e.g. helped on the TEDPrize, contribution to TEDFellows, hosted TEDx event, translating TEDTalks...)?
(Optional) What's your one great idea worth spreading about how to improve the conference itself?
Applicants are also asked to list up to three websites that say something about them (you are discouraged from choosing Google) and—get this—at least two references.
Registration for TED2014 and TEDActive 2014 opens on Monday (February 11). A parody Twitter account posted this tweet:
Torn whether to donate $7500 to build a village well in Guatemala or buy tickets to #TED2014? No contest: villagers can't network for shit.
— TED Vancouver (@TEDcouver) February 5, 2013
I think that about says it all.
Be happy, something good is happening to the community. Lots of smart people will visit the city, and maybe, come into contact with some of the smart people this city has to offer.
Why is that? Well, tons of people from around the world are going to apply to get in, so they should make it difficult. We are talking about the goal of the worlds greatest minds coming to one place and sharing ideas. Not every angry hipster with a fix gear and a start-up showing up so they can instagram the whole thing for nerd cred.
Having these people come to Vancouver and partake in what we have to offer could be massive for the city. A lot more massive than if we just make them all dance for us like a bunch of smug pricks.
People need to stop complaining about every good thing that happens to this city.
I didn't attend TED last year when it wasn't here, and I won't attend it next year when it is here, but the free online talks are brilliant. Meanwhile, it's going to inject hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Vancouver economy either way. Mr. Hui, get over yourself.
I, lowly peon I am, will probably watch a few of the talks online.
There could of course be no venue, stage, audio-visual, staff, exhibits or speakers. Since any organizers, even volunteers, could not curate or organize the event without excluding someone, the event itself would be a cacophony of random shouting voices ...but it wouldn't be elitist.
You, of course, don't actually CARE, you just want something to indignantly oppose so you can feel like an 'othered' victim.
I hear they are sponsoring a lecture on Freeman Dyson-inspired chicken-coop architecture.
Buck-buck: the music of the shperes.
These tickets are actually really cheap compared to what they could be, however TED focuses on the quality of participants rather than those that can pay the most.
I am not one of those quality people.
Lots of business groups, seminars and networking opportunities exist here.
Events like this: http://www.meetup.com/Vancouvers-Online-Marketing-Specialists/events/103...
Where they host Expert Series for free.
Obviously, the free and local event don't receive the same PR as TED, but depending on your interest these discussions can prove to be more applicable in your profession.
I can't help but ponder whether the disposable income of ones followers is a measure of a higher, or lesser worth. Nelson Mandela. Mary Ann Shadd Cary. Jesus of Nazareth. Che Guevara. Mother Teresa. Malcom X. Martin Luther King. Susan B. Anthony. St. Francis of Assisi. What price of admission could the followers of these inspirational persons afford? And would these Speakers have selected a closed-to-the-general-public venue to market their ideas, if a "TED" had offered them a chosen speaker slot?
Hope the "special" people enjoy TED.

Depends upon timing, but I might be able to make the trip.
Depends upon timing, but I might be able to make the trip.
"What happened to those other underpants you had?" -- Flight of the Conchords
I think Honolulu would be better... just saying
I'd be down for sure! I won't be back home till mid February though...so let's not rush into this
Yea give it some time and plan it out. I am getting one restaurant in line and have to open another in late Feb-March so my time is going to be tied up completely in March and April surely, but May+ I can at least attempt! I could kill two birds with one stone on this one, go back to Cali & finally make a knife Get-to-gether. Only downside is I'd be back in my home state and Jon and I might start up a restaurant out there next to his knife shop ... so yea, lets think this one over Broida
Well I love the thought of it but the cost of it will probably (as it always does) change my opinion.
San Diego? Where would we eat? There's much better food in LA.
Naturally, I'm in.
"Don't you know who he is?"
I got a west coast road trip tentatively planned, this might solidify the dates. Nice.

Carmike Cinemas Inc. is opening the Bradley Square 12 at 7 p.m. on Thursday with a selection of recent blockbuster movies throughout the complex. The charity grand-opening night will feature $1 admission with $1 small popcorn and $1 small drinks. All proceeds from the evening benefit The Ronald McDonald House which provides a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
The theater was announced in October 2011 as a $5.5 million investment. Theater construction coincided with a three-phase multimillion dollar makeover and Belk's remodeling project.
In addition, a newly relocated food court includes quick- and full-service restaurants with patio seating adjacent to the courtyard entrance to the cinema.
Stacia Crye Shahan, Bradley Square Mall general manager, recently said the third and final phase of the renovation is scheduled to begin in January. That phase includes renovations to the entrances near Kmart and all signage, plus significant improvements to the interior of the center, including upgrades to the decor, remodeling public restrooms, new lighting and other amenities.
New eateries as well as national and local merchants will join the lineup of 50 stores at the center. The unidentified retailers will serve to enhance the overall shopping experience, according to Shahan.
According to a Carmike press release, "Cleveland is one of the first communities in the nation to offer theatergoers the 'BIGD' format." The new 12-screen theater complex will seat more than 2,300 guests in luxurious comfort and features the critically acclaimed "BIGD" auditorium.
"We're providing the ultimate entertainment experience that centerpieces large format Digital with bigger screens, bigger and better sound, and the finest in-theater seating for cutting edge presentation and the definitive enjoyment of our audiences," said Carmike President and CEO David Passman.
The new facility is equipped with auditoriums featuring state-of-the-art stadium seating, with comfortable high back luxury chairs, retractable armrests and convenient cup holders. The new theater has an upscale lobby, multiple concession areas featuring Coca-Cola Freestyle drink centers and an indoor box office, so filmgoers can escape the weather.
The "BIGD" auditorium includes a wall-to-wall screen measuring 60 feet wide and nearly three stories tall, the latest in surround sound and digital projection of both 2-D and 3-D features powered by a cutting edge Christie Brilliant 3-D flash projector. The result is a light output of 30,000 lumens, creating a picture quality with noticeably higher resolution than HD.
According to the press release, the custom QSC DIGITAL audio system is tuned to a 7.1 speaker array with 16 channels and has the ability to be upgraded to 11.1, a revolution in surround sound technology with DIGITAL audio processing supported by quad-amplified, 4-way speakers and 21-inch subwoofers. The new, expanded configuration at the Bradley Square 12 promises a new gold standard in unparalleled picture clarity and deep, resonating DIGITAL sound.
"The success of 3-D releases for features like the iconic blockbuster 'Avatar,' 'Dr. Seuss,' 'The Lorax,' 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' and 'The Avengers,' proves that audiences are excited about and enjoy the new DIGITAL experience, and are demanding it," Passman said. "These early successes will no doubt persuade producers to release more movies in this format, and with the "BIGD" experience — in either 3-D or 2-D DIGITAL — Carmike has the full capability to provide our audiences with the technology and total luxury that brings theatergoing to a new level."
Bradley Square 12 will be followed by five other theaters opening in 2013 in Decatur, Ala., Sandestin, Fla., Champaign, Ill., Jacksonville, N.C., and Winchester, Va. Plans are under way for other theaters in Opelika, Ala., Oak Grove, Ky., and El Paso, Texas.
"Whether it is a movie, concert, sporting event, motivational speaker or church service, Carmike guests will find 'BIGD' placing them at the heart of the event," said Carmike director of marketing Terrell Mayton.
Carmike Cinemas had 232 theaters with 2,242 screens in 35 states as of Sept. 30. Carmike's primary focus for its locations is small to mid-sized cities.
Carmike has been absent from the Cleveland market since 2003 when the company closed its location at 200 Stuart Road after a 19-year run. That theater opened Dec. 7, 1984, and closed Dec. 11, 2003. CVS Pharmacy now occupies the site, according to past reports.

PH Email Mentors are patients and caregivers from all over the world, standing by to help patients, caregivers and parents through one-on-one, email-based support. Sean Wyman is both a mentor and a co-leader of Generation Hope, PHA's virtual support group for young adults.
I was diagnosed on Oct. 18, 2002 (my 19th birthday). My mom and I were on vacation in Colorado Springs, Colo., and I became really symptomatic. It was as if an elephant was tapdancing on my chest in stilettos. I blacked out twice in 24 hours. My mom brought me to the emergency room. From there it's all a blur. I was in the ICU, then a regular room, and then transferred to Denver to see PH specialists. Since I was such a "well-behaved" patient, they gave me access to a laptop. I found PHA and read the entire site in a night.
I wouldn't say I've made changes to my life; I'm just more aware of how I'm feeling. One of my school friends told me she was envious of me. When I asked her why, she said, "Because of your disease, you get to stop and admire the scenery." I never thought of it that way when I was getting winded walking up hills, but now I do take time to "stop and smell the roses."
When one of my doctors told me I would never be able to work or go to school, I decided to test that theory. PH hasn't really changed my college life - I have changed college life because of my PH. I have increased awareness of PH on campus by giving presentations to classes and student organizations. My goal initially was to become a teacher (my family is full of teachers), but one of my college professors said I had a higher calling. I looked into respiratory therapy, but after taking a few of the classes, I realized I was capable of becoming a physician. I would like to think that I will stay in the world of pulmonary/cardiology medicine, but time will truly tell. After medical school, who knows what I will do. I have some ideas, but I'd like to keep a little mystery about me!
The best advice I can give is, go to school and utilize all of the services! Seriously! I was scared to go back to school after my doctors told me I wouldn't be able to. Ha, serves them right for telling me "No!" School helped me find some normality while doing something I love: learning. The most important thing is to be positive and informed. I found out about special student services and college became a breeze. Someone was always there to advocate for me, or to establish accommodations like rides around campus, special class seating (I like the front row), increased test-taking time, etc.
It has given me a way to connect with other patients. There are occasions when I need to talk to someone and share an experience, and being a leader in the PH community gives me that chance. The large network being developed is amazing. Every young adult should join Generation Hope. Young adults experience a different set of trials and tribulations than older adults. Questions about relationships, marriage, education, careers and so forth are commonplace in Generation Hope. We share our experiences with each other and come up with better ways to raise awareness of PH in our communities so future friends and families understand what we go through. Being a leader and mentor has been amazing. It's opened my eyes to other experiences, helped me better understand how to work with others and, most importantly, helped me better understand myself!
You should email a PH Email Mentor because we've "been there, done that." Early on, I had people who acted as my mentors. Soon, I became a mentor for children and young adults. I felt that I could connect with them and tell them how to cope with PH and get a sense of normalcy back. The most important thing is to make a connection with someone who's experienced life with PH. Some look at it as a horrible disease - I look at it as a way to be philanthropic, a lifelong learner and, of course, a lifelong PHriend.
