By Lee Martin Every day, more than 7,000 Africans die from AIDS, many of them parents. The result is an orphan epidemic. By 2010, 18 million African children under the age of 18 will have lost either their mother or father or both parents to AIDS. Families affected by AIDS/HIV represent a very specific and significant population group that demands a particular type of intervention. Habitat for Humanity's response In April 2003, HFHI's International Board of Directors endorsed a response by the Africa and Middle East (AME) region to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Addressing this crisis requires a very different approach to the traditional HFH model and approach. From loan repayments to partnership Many orphans and vulnerable children are adopted by families with very limited financial means. The ability to afford a modest HFH loan has always been part of the family selection criteria, but in order to serve those severely impacted by the scourge of AIDS, we had to come up with a greater range of housing and financing solutions. For the extremely vulnerable and poor families, we no longer require the ability to repay as part of the homeowner selection criteria. We also modified the sweat equity requirement to suit the OVC program so that neither under-aged orphans nor seriously ill adults would be required to perform manual labour. For example, in some cases a relative performs the sweat equity on behalf of the ill parent, and a teenager may be asked to help prepare food for the construction workers. Those families who have the ability to pay for a small loan are asked to pay back, but the loan is structured to be affordable and house costs have been greatly reduced. Reducing house costs In some cases, HFH's ability to reduce the house cost has been phenomenal. In Mozambique, by moving away from western-style house design and materials and by using local materials which are better suited to local conditions, we have reduced the average house cost from US$3,000 to less than US$600. House designs include cement foundations combined with traditional reed walls and thatched roofs, allowing families to remain in homes that do not separate them from the community in aesthetic or financial appearance. Giving widows and children an asset worth hundreds or thousands of dollars can actually increase their vulnerability. If the community perceives that the child is better off than the surrounding families it will be less likely to offer the ongoing daily support so desperately needed. Worse, if a more expensive house is provided to a widow or child, they run the risk of losing the house to opportunistic family and community members that may desire the home for themselves. In addition, using labour intensive construction and building techniques that rely on traditional skills and crafts (such as thatch weaving) benefits the local economy. Using traditional design, techniques and material ensures that designs developed over centuries, which are best suited to the local climate and culture, are maintained. Gender separation When children are adopted by relatives – or non-related community members – they become more vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse, not only by adults residing in the same house, but also by older children sharing common living spaces. Overcrowding means that many children have lost what little private space they once had. Girls are especially vulnerable in these conditions. In response, HFH has been intentional in its housing design to create separate sleeping areas for adults and children, and boys and girls. In many cases the need has not been for a new house, but the provision of an additional room to reduce mixed-sex sleeping areas. Defining the target group HFH's OVC program clearly defines and targets families who care for OVC and are vulnerable. For example: households with limited financial means who have taken in OVC, grandmothers and other vulnerable caregivers whose houses are overcrowded, dangerous or lack adequate sanitation. Changing the structure of loan products For families that are able to afford a small loan, HFH loan products needed to be adapted. HIV significantly reduces life expectancy; illness increases the risk of unemployment, and income is further eroded by the death of a bread winner, funeral costs, cost of caring for additional dependents, and greater medical costs. These make the homeowner less able to repay their HFH mortgages. To reduce the risk to the home owner and to HFH, HFH is making the following changes to its loan structure:
Collaborations with other partners When faced with the OVC challenge, HFH recognized the need for a more holistic approach. Placing orphans in better shelter without making provision for their nutritional, educational and other basic needs, was clearly not an option. Since HFH does not have expertise or the capacity to provide for these non-shelter needs, HFH has partnered with a wide range of organizations (CBOs, INGOS, NGOs) that are able to provide these services to OVC families. Income security Traditionally, AME programs have not included income-generation or skills training elements. Taking this into consideration, the OVC program now includes:
Being intentional about property security Orphans are better able to cope with their situation when their home ownership rights are secured and when parents planned for the future by taking steps to select guardians, to protect the inheritance of their children, and to discuss the topics of AIDS illness and death with their children. This is especially true for widows and girl orphans, who are more likely to have their property "grabbed." When HFH mortgage holders die from AIDS-related illnesses, surviving partners and the children are far less likely to lose their homes if they have legal documentation demonstrating their right to ownership which is recognised by both local authorities and traditional leaders. HFH has developed tools, materials, community and individual training and participation sessions around property rights, workshops on creating wills, assisting parents developing inheritance plans and the like. Because OVC often have a high degree of income vulnerability, we generally promote home and property ownership in our OVC programs and steer away from tenancy. A combination of ownership with good inheritance planning, as well as ensuring some documented proof of ownership, gives the OVC the greatest chance at shelter security. Assisting and advocating on behalf of the vulnerable Children and terminally ill adults are often not in a position to advocate for themselves or to acquire necessary documentation to secure their property. Habitat has made it a priority to assist families with OVC secure ownership title. This may entail providing financial assistance, referrals to legal experts, and/or advocacy on behalf of vulnerable children and adults. Advocacy efforts range from advising government on legislation aimed at extending or increasing the protection of property rights to women and children (as we have done in countries such as Zambia and Lesotho), campaigning on behalf on this group to local authorities, and engaging in discussions with traditional leaders / tribal chiefs. Community-based approach To fully serve OVC, HFH recognizes the need for community transformation. The effects of the HIV pandemic are still not fully understood by impacted communities and entrenched stigmas further marginalize families living with HIV and impair the ability of the community to come together to address the issue. HFH and its partners engage in community-based education and awareness raising, aimed at removing stigma and increasing awareness of the rights and needs of OVC and women. HFH draws on the experience of local communities - employing participatory methodologies, and learning from the best practices of other NGOs who have faced similar challenges. In establishing new project sites, HFH looks to partner with local community organisations that have already begun responding to the AIDS pandemic. HFH's approach is to complement and support these existing initiatives and expand them to include a focus on housing. This grassroots approach also facilitates the provision of community-based care. Our goal is to keep OVC with relatives or in their own communities to the greatest extent possible. Priority is given to assisting surviving parents or relatives so they can continue to provide for and shelter the children. If there are no relatives able to care for the orphans, then HFH prioritizes keeping children in the community they are familiar with and grew up in. When a community recognizes the vulnerable child as their own, they protect and care for the child as a community. In this regard, working closely with welfare officials (social workers), community leaders and members is vital. Caregiver selection has become an important factor in the success of this program. Children who are looked after by those who are not their natural parents are more likely to be vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Although the selection of care givers is often not done directly by HFH, but rather by the state or an experienced partner, HFH takes the extra precaution of reviewing the selection process to ensure that every effort has been made to weed out potentially poor care givers. We have also, in some places, inserted conditions in occupancy or loan contracts whereby care givers can be expelled from a Habitat house if they are shown to be abusive or neglectful care givers. Conclusion The overall objective of this program is to not simply build houses for orphans and vulnerable children, but to significantly reduce their vulnerability by increasing their security and access to basic necessities and services through all the activities mentioned above. Much progress has been made, much still needs to be learned, and – mostly importantly – much more needs to be done.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Kellogg continues long-standing commitment to fiber, support new research at International Congress of Dietetics.
- Research continues to confirm breakfast cereals contribute to nutrient intake, help maintain healthy weight & increase fiber consumption.
- Kellogg offers more U.S. cereals with at least a good source of fiber and 8 grams of whole grains than any other U.S. food company.
Kellogg launches www.KelloggsNutrition.com, a go-to resource on fiber research and more for healthcare professionals around the world.
Kellogg Company continues to foster the global scientific dialogue on the fiber deficiency in children at the 16 th International Congress of Dietetics (ICD) in Sydney, Australia. Furthering the company's long-standing commitment to fiber, Kellogg is sponsoring breakfast symposia, speakers and poster presentations.
Research shows that fiber is an important nutrient beneficial to help maintain healthy weight, support digestive health and support heart health, yet children across the globe are not getting enough in their diets. In the U.S., fewer than one in ten adults and children get the fiber they need[1] and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans identified fiber as one of four nutrients of concern that Americans need more of in their diets.
"We know that children are not getting enough fiber, which is critical for digestive health," said Christine Lowry, vice president, Global Nutrition Marketing, Kellogg Company. "By elevating the discussion globally and through new research and innovations, we remain committed to finding ways to help children get this important nutrient through the foods they already love." Kellogg's sponsored presentations at ICD include:- Are our children roughing it? Are they getting enough fiber? – Discussing the high incidence of occasional constipation and digestive upset in children and preliminary results of a study on children and digestive health;
- Just how evidence-based are our sugar and whole grain recommendations? – Highlighting the importance of cereal fiber and addressed misperceptions around sugar content;
- The Emerging Benefits of Cereal Fiber – Showcasing emerging science on the health benefits of cereal fiber and addressed confusion between whole grain and fiber levels; and
- A study on the positive impact of cereal breakfast consumption on nutrient intakes of Canadian adults and children.

Who is next for BJ? Frankie Edgar or Gray Maynard?

I'm not sure why people want to bring Aoki over to fight BJ.
The only thing, the absolutely only thing that Aoki has that will be of any use to him in a fight with BJ is his BJJ. That's it. Aoki will not be able to take Penn down, not even close, his striking is far, far behind Penn and he's not a very big guy, so he will be thrown around everywhere if BJ wished. Also, if by luck, if my some amazing work of God he actually does get BJ down, BJ is a very skilled guy when it comes to BJJ, as we all know.
Terrible, terrible fight for Aoki.
As far as this thread goes, at this point it's somewhat up in the air about who should/will get the next shot. I think Edgar and and Maynard would both be decent choices, however, I would like to see a rematch with Kenny.
Why a rematch with Kenny you might ask? Well, I want to see him get beat up again, and I also believe he is the #2 LW fighter in the world, skill wise, not ranking wise.

1. Relay Fuse Swap
Here's a little-known secret--many of the relays used on most cars are identical, whether they are used for the fuel pump, the headlights, the fans or the rear-window defroster. It's a standard 30-amp SPDT relay. He probably repurposed a relay from some other circuit on your car, like the foglamps or the rear defroster, and plugged it into the fuel-pump relay socket. I'm just impressed that he figured out it was the relay in such a short time. (Sounds like the voice of experience.) It's easy to tell which relay is which. Relay positions, as well as fuse positions and values, are listed in the owner's manual--and, almost always, on a decal inside the fuse/relay panel to boot. Actually, the schematic of the relay, telling you which pins are which, is usually printed on the side of the relay's outer case.
2. Cola Omelet Coolant
Crack a raw egg into the radiator filler cap (not the overflow tank, if you have one). The egg white will plug the hole--for a while. Now that you've fixed the hole in the radiator, you don't have enough water to refill it. Top off with diet soda (no sugar to gum up the water pump). Other liquids will work too, like recycled beer and that leftover iced tea.
3. Twigs and Water
Whittle a plug from a twig and hammer it into the hole. Trim off the excess so the plug doesn't catch on the next rock.
But now you don't have enough oil to refill the crankcase. Add a quart of water. Really. The oil-pump pickup is not on the exact bottom--the remaining oil will float on top of the water.
4. Soap in The Tank
Stuff a wedge from a bar of soap into the hole. It'll last long enough to get into town. Or a few hundred yards past that stream you need to ford.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 and King Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house. | 10 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. |
11 And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom. | 11 Whenever the king went to the LORD's temple, the guards went with him, bearing the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom. |
12 And when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah. | 12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD's anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. Indeed, there was some good in Judah. |
13 So King Rehobo'am established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehobo'am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Na'amah the Ammonitess. | 13 King Rehoboam established himself firmly in Jerusalem and continued as king. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. |
14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the LORD. | 14 He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD. |
15 Now the acts of Rehobo'am, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemai'ah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am. | 15 As for the events of Rehoboam's reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer that deal with genealogies? There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. |
16 And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abi'jah his son reigned in his stead. | 16 Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son succeeded him as king. |

Seminar in Medieval Art: Belfry and Minaret
Belfry and minaret are ubiquitous features of religious architecture of Eastern Christianity and Islam, respectively. Their origins, functional and symbolic roles will be the subject of our investigation within a time frame extending from late antiquity to the late Middle Ages (ca. 400- ca. 1500). We will explore their competing roles in various multi-cultural settings and the phenomenon of their deliberate destruction under certain circumstances. A critical consideration of the role of modern historiography and the extent to which it has contributed to the understanding of the issues involved will be an integral part of the course.

Problems in Byzantine History:
Byzantium in the 10th Century: The Age of Reconquest
The course examines the sources and critically assesses the modern literature on the social, political and military history of the tenth-century Byzantine state at the height of its power, and seeks to understand the background to the recovery of Byzantine political strength at that time, in the context of both internal social, economic and administrative developments, and in that of the wider political world, in particular, relations with the Abbasid Caliphate and the regional emirates of Syria and Iraq, and with the various western powers with which Byzantium had dealings.
John Haldon Seminar 1:30-4:20 pm W
Sparta and the Peloponnese
For many Greeks of the Classical period, the greatest of the Greek poleis was not Athens, but Sparta. This seminar will investigate Spartan culture, as well as Sparta's relations with other communities in the Peloponnese, from an interdisciplinary perspective. We will investigate questions relating to ethos and identity, political and social structures, religious festivals and practices, art and architecture, and the political, social, and ideological relationships between Spartans and other Greeks. A special feature of the course is two trips abroad (all expenses will be covered): we will travel to Greece during the midterm break, and in early January to Oxford University for joint sessions with a seminar that will be taught there on the same topic.

Scroll down to see Rich Felt's Facts
Note: Rich finished a 5-6 overall record and was fourth in its region with a 3-3 record in 2011. It lost to Duchesne in the 1A semifinals.
RANDOLPH — Another year, another high school football season and the same old challenge for Rich High and the rest of the 1A teams in Utah:
How do they stop Duchesne from winning another state championship?
After all, the Duchesne Eagles have soared to back-to-back 1A titles, and last year they absolutely pulverized most of their opponents, averaging over 42 points per game while allowing less than 9 per game.
With an average margin of victory of more than 33 points, it's no wonder the Eagles went 12-0.
One of Duchesne's victims along the way was Rich, which dropped a 42-0 decision during the regular season, then suffered a lopsided 46-0 loss to the Eagles in the state semifinals.
Rich, the 2009 state champion and a perennial state playoff team which has reached postseason play all in 27 years of its existence, dropped an overtime duel to Duchesne in the 2010 title game.
As Rebels coach Ashley Brown begins his 13th season at the school, he figures the Eagles are still the big bird in 1A until somebody comes along to knock them off their high perch.
"Duchesne is the team to beat," Brown said. "They've won it the last two years and until somebody beats them, they're still the team to beat.
"They lost a lot of good kids off last year's team, but they had a good JV and have got a good program."
Rich has a good program, too, and with a squad featuring 10 returning starters, the Rebels have their sights set on shooting down the Eagles this season.
Austin Groll, a senior and returning starter at quarterback, leads the way for the Rich offense. "He's got experience now," Brown said, "and we expect a lot out of him. He does both run and pass well."
Groll will be backed up by junior QB McKay Jarman.
At running back, senior Kaden Thomson is another returning starter, and he led the team in rushing last year. But he suffered a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee and missed the state 1A semifinal game.
"He did a good job for us," Brown said. "But we had to let his knee heal."
Several players are battling for the starting job at fullback.
The Rebels don't have any of their top wide receivers returning from last year, so sophomore Wyatt Muirbrook and juniors Vance Weston and Skyler Argyle must step in to fill the void. One of them will move over to play tight end.
Kade Earley, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound senior center, is the big man in the middle of the Rebels' offensive line and does a good job, and he's joined by senior guard Bradley Gurr, another returning starter.
But the other O-line spots are up for grabs at this point, with several players fighting for them.
On defense, the Rebels have six returning starters, including Groll, Thomson and senior Dyson Barker at linebacker, Earley at defensive tackle, McKay Jarman at defensive end and sophomore Cache Sabey at free safety.
But after that, Brown isn't sure at this juncture who his other defensive end, tackle or defensive backs will be.
"We've got some holes to fill," he said. "We've got to fill some holes on the offensive and defensive lines. But we've got some goods skill kids coming back.

Organizers of Mesa's beleaguered Veterans Day Parade have another problem — whether to keep former City Council candidate JT Ready on their parade committee after learning that the ex-Marine was court-martialed twice and then discharged for bad conduct.
Veterans made headlines recently when they raised enough money to save the parade after its funding was slashed from the city's budget. They are scrambling to plan the parade in time for Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
Ready has been attending their meetings and volunteered to help emcee the parade from the stand.
But the Tribune, in checking with the U.S. Marine Corps, found Ready had been charged and convicted in a military court of theft, unauthorized absence, failure to follow orders and, later, assault, among other things. He received a bad conduct discharge in 1996.
But Ready never told the veterans' organizations of his record. And he never disclosed those details of his military background during his political campaigns.
The record is severe enough to prevent 33-year-old Ready from ever taking advantage of the GI Bill, being buried in a national cemetery or even joining the local Marine Corps League.
Ready also could risk losing his membership with the VFW Auxiliary, where he's been a member for roughly two years.
Now, the parade organizers are considering whether to keep him involved.
"We are very surprised and upset that JT has got this kind of record," said VFW Post 1760 commander Randy Foshee.
"The members of our post will take it under advisement to see if he needs to be removed, and at the Veterans Day parade meeting (on Friday), we'll discuss if we also need to have him on the parade committee."
Ready did not return three phone calls or an e-mail on Wednesday.
In 1996, Ready, then a lance corporal and rifleman with the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp Pendleton, Calif., was tried at a special courtmartial where he was found guilty of unauthorized absence, failure to follow an order or regulation, and larceny and wrongful appropriation, according to 1st Lt. Rob Dolan, a Marine Corps. spokesman in Quantico, Va.
Dolan said Ready was absent without authorization for eight days.
He served three months in confinement, forfeited $581 per month in pay for three months and was demoted to private.
Later that year, he was brought up on even more serious charges — conspiracy, assault and wrongful solicitation and advice.
He was found guilty at a general court-martial, served six months in confinement and received a bad conduct discharge.
Ready, who lost a District 4 council race in March, is a member of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and says he founded several anti-illegal immigration groups.
He also made headlines after an encounter with a Mexican illegal immigrant earlier this year in Mesa.
Ready was never charged in the shootout.
He also ran unsuccessfully as state representative in 2004.
The veterans parade committee will meet 1 p.m. Friday on the first floor of City Hall.
Some seem more forgiving about Ready's record and would not go so far as to say that Ready should be removed from the parade committee.
"I don't think there is any such thing as a perfect human being," veteran Jerry Walker said.

Thanks! But I'm serious. It's the ultimate red-head provoking name. It's highly inapproriate though, so make sure you don't refer to someone with that name if there is a slight chance they would ever press charges against you.

Under the Tuscan Sun
Ever felt like impulsively moving to Italy, buying an abandoned villa, and renovating it? Well, that's what Diane Lane's character Frances does in the 2003 film Under the Tuscan Sun. After spotting a real estate listing for the Bramasole estate while on vacation, she falls in love with the rundown home, despite the fact that it's filled with pigeons, old junk, and broken plumbing. But don't worry—it's nothing some elbow grease, a team of Polish workers, and some soul-searching can't fix! The Tuscan villa used in the movie is real—since the movie, it has been fully renovated and now you can even rent it.

9 Mexican Love Songs For Cinco De Mayo
By Julie Leung
"Vivir Sin Aire" ("Live Without Air") This song, by Mana, is the sort you listen to while running your toes through a beach's gentle rip tides, sipping a shared pina colada with your S.O. and swaying to the beat. Or, for some of us, it's the kind of song you listen to while imagining these things.
"Te Quise Tanto" ("I Wanted You So Much") Paulina Rubio's 2004 pop song about the crazy lengths we go to when in love became an international hit.
"Canta Corazon" ("Sing Heart") We recommend watching the sexy video for this Alejandro Fernandez love song. Fernandez is known as "The Colt" in Mexico, and we're pretty sure we'd be his potra (filly) anytime!

What do you think of the
Volcom Burglar Suite - Men's
? Share a...
kiyoto k
this suite (as volcom so eloquently puts it) is great. warm, and not skin tight, very very comfortable for layering and if you get cold you have space for long johns or an additional first layer underneath! butt flaps are epic!!!
This is an awesome suit for the price. It is super warm and has a good fit. Great replacement for the airblaster suits which have a ridiculous price.
soooo awesome
As for the 1 star review below....
1) of course the 1.5 inch thumbnail looks better than the 5 foot suit
2) It is made long (so you dont get wedgies) and it is made for skinny people (but if your bigger you can always adjust the waste with drawstring (and if your really big sned me a pic of you snowboarding, I WANT TO SEE)
3) Cheap material? I have a forum body bag and i prefer this material over the body bag. Stitching and seams all seem to be correctly made.
4) Its not durable? you never even used it lol
Real Review....
Aside from the colors this seems like a great substitute for an Airblaster Ninja Suit at about 40% of the cost. Good breathable wicking material and has plenty of room for when bending over to strap on board. Warm, has wrist gators, poop flap, zippers, and hood. Cant beat this for the price.
6'1-6'2, 165lb. Should i go large or XL?...
6'1-6'2, 165lb. Should i go large or XL?
XL or the back length will be too short. On items where your shoulders are connected to your butt, going too small means wedgie city.
not so awesome
This looked way better on a 1.5 inch thumbnail photo than it did in person. Weird sizing unless your super tall and skinny. Didnt seem like it was put together to be very durable. I dont recommend
Im 6'5 - is the xl long enough in the...
Im 6'5 - is the xl long enough in the torso?
Josh Chapman
yeah should be just right.
I'm 5,8 (175cm) and weigh around160lb...
I'm 5,8 (175cm) and weigh around160lb (73kg), What size should i go for? S or M
I would go for the medium, it will be long enough for your torso, but not too skinny in the waist.
im about same size as you. This will not fit you. I returned.

beautiful lens flare
Been thinking about buying one of these - are they hard to construct?
@retro-girl the shutter is a pain but the rest is ok :) take a look at this http://www.lomograph(…)-tlr-camera
Great article - I think you have sold me on one of these. Though I have already bought 5 new cameras since I took up photography in February and still know nothing about the subject! How do you know when the shutter is working at correct speed?

Last week's announcement that Prometheus and Lost writer Damon Lindelof would be rewriting the final act of Brad Pitt's zombie epic World War Z would normally have been interesting, positive news if the film was preparing to go into production in a few months. As the movie wrapped last year and massive reshoots were gearing up for September or October, the last minute hire instead raised eyebrows. What the heck was going on with this major holiday tentpole?
World War Z, originally scheduled for December 2012 with a new target of June 2013, is based on the popular post-apocalyptic novel by Max Brooks and helmed by Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster. With Pitt in the lead, a top-notch ensemble cast (including The Killing's Mireille Enos) and a central plot that would square them off against a hoard of hungry zombies, the movie, on the surface, was the perfect combo. But a recent peek behind the curtain by The Hollywood Reporter would lead one to believe it was a turbulent endeavor from the get go. According to THR, three weeks before shooting, Forster couldn't lock down the look of movement of his zombies — a massive creative decision for a zombie movie (believe or not). On top of that, multiple key crew members, including producers and effects designers, were swapped out with little time to spare. Then there are those who couldn't bail after asking to: Cinematographer Robert Richardson (Hugo, Inglourious Basterds) requested to leave the production on several occasions, but to no avail. Adding to the woes were the push to finish the film in a timely fashion. Second Unit Director Simon Crane, brought in to shoot the movie's massive action scenes, requested 60 days of shooting. He got a third of that time. There was no way the movie everyone set out to make was going to happen. The turbulent "making of" story paints World War Z as a ship that was sinking before it even set sail — but there is reason to think the chaos may not impair the finished product's quality.
Paramount, the studio behind World War Z, sees the film as an investment they can't back down from. The hiring of new talent and scheduling of big reshoots is a clear indication, with Paramount film president Adam Goodman openly admitting his positive feelings and reservations on the project. "The footage from this film looks fantastic, but we all agreed it can have a better ending," Goodman tells THR. "Getting the ending correct is essential, and we are in that creative process. World War Z is a giant summer movie and we are confident it will be a global hit when it's released June 2013." The biggest hurdle for World War Z is the lack of a singular voice. Will Forster return for the reshoots? Are Pitt's demands in contention with the studios? Will Lindelof's rewrites mix with the previously shot footage? A movie made by committee rarely works, but if the problems are clear and easily fixed — THR cites the creative conflict with director Doug Liman over the direction of The Bourne Identity — the final film can click cohesively.
The business side of World War Z may be a mess, but for the average movie-goer, it all comes down to whatever plays up on the big screen when the movie is finally released. As long as Brad Pitt kicks zombie butt in an intense and action-packed fashion, the history surrounding World War Z is moot. The fear in this scenario is that the film may never grace multiplexes — but for now, at least someone behind-the-scenes is trying to keep the movie alive. Or is it undead?
