Amy Wong's (王心慰) new TVB television drama, Big Wheel <巨輪> is currently still in active drama. Starring Louise Lee (李司棋), Ruco Chan (陳展鵬), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), Kristal Tin (田蕊妮), and Louis Yuen (阮兆祥), Big Wheel is a cross-millennium drama that centers on the story of two half-brothers during the 1980s to the 2010s. A majority of Big Wheel's story line will take place in the 1990s. Close attention was put towards recreating 1990s technology and culture in the drama, and TVB expressed that they hoped the viewers will be able to take an unforgettable trip down on memory lane while watching Big Wheel.
On the night November 9, Ruco Chan and Linda Chung were caught filming a romantic kissing scene under the rain. The shot being filmed was about Ruco and Linda hiding inside a phone booth to wait for the rain shower to pass. The scene is reminiscent of a similar kissing scene between Andy Lau (劉德華) and Maggie Cheung (張可頤) in the 1988 film, As Tears Go By <旺角卡門>, in which Andy and Maggie also kissed passionately inside a phone booth.
Kissed for 20 Seconds
The scene was filmed in East Tsim Sha Tsui in the early evening, and it attracted a large crowd of curious onlookers, many whom took out their cameras and phones to snap a picture of the onscreen couple. Due to the loud noise and the uncontrollable flash photography, the cast and crew had to retake the scene several times.
Ruco and Linda kissed for about twenty seconds. Ruco first kissed Linda on her left cheek, and then proceeded to her lips. Before the camera rolled, Ruco and Linda tried several kissing positions. Ruco appeared nervous, and asked Linda several times if the proposed positions were fine with her. Ruco grew more at ease when he had to kiss Linda for a second time. Ruco and Linda acted very professional, and there were no outtakes.
Afterwards, when Linda was asked what she did to prepare for the romantic scene with Ruco. Linda simply said, "I chewed a lot of gum."
Big Wheel will move its on location filming to Macau in several weeks. Principal photography is expected to wrap up by December 2012.

It's Maggie Cheung Mann Yurk, not the other Maggie.
I honestly think doing a kissing scene is difficult.. its hard for someone to kiss someone w/o any intimate feelings.. so I really think Linda is good, she can do this kissing scene without second take.
LOL. It's only a peck. Their skin doesn't even touch.
When it's a full-on make-out, then there's something to talk about – good or bad.
Ruco is such a modest gentleman! Haha.
Haha. I like how the narrator of the clip uses terms from Golden forum. People there indeed called the actresses they like either 'BB' or 'goddess' (nui san) and the actors they like 'god' (nam san).
There are a lot of goddesses in HK entertainment world. Yet only a few are qualified by Gordon as gods. Ruco is one after airing of TOT last year. He really owns the title Gordon god(Gordon nam san).
The picture of Ruco above is one of the worse one lol! He looks so tired!
No wonder he looks so tired. He's filming his 4th drama in 9 months-superman! In TBB factory, artistes have to work round the clock, especially the main characters.
they're professional and I admire that.

Was 19-year-old suspect Tucker Cipriano high on fake marijuana when he attacked his parents?
(FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., WXYZ) - Police say a 19-year-old clubbed his father to death with a baseball bat and attacked his mom and brother with the help of a friend. The mother and brother were left in critical condition.
Police arrested Robert Cipriano's son Tucker Cipriano and a second 20-year-old suspect they didn't identify.
Police Chief Chuck Nebus says the son has a history of drug abuse.
A friend who says he was with the young man a short time before the crime tells WXYZ Tucker R. Cipriano was using K2, which is a brand of synthetic marijuana. He says Cipriano went to his parents house in Farmington Hills to take money.
Police are investigating that claim.
So what is synthetic marijuana?
It often contains a chemically altered form of a molecule found in marijuana. The chemical is sprayed on herbs, then sold as incense. It is smoked to get high. Users say the high experienced is often nothing like the high experienced after marijuana use.
There is little research on its safety. Doctors have seen users experience psychosis, hallucinations, paranoia, and seizures.
In Michigan, possession of synthetic marijuana is a 90-day misdemeanor, but it is still sometimes sold illegally in liquor stores and head shops. It can also be bought on-line.
In the past, when the drug has been banned, makers have altered their formulas to create drugs to skirt around the law. It has in some cases resulted in more potent drugs.

Air bags and haute couture come together in the Hövding Invisible Helmet ($528) for bicyclists. Though this Swedish product seems ridiculous at first, says The New York Times, "it was perhaps inevitable that the helmet evolve from hair-flattening safety necessity to accessory," given the rising number of bike riders in metropolitan areas. Deflated, it merely looks like a jacket collar or plush scarf. However, attached sensors detect sudden changes in velocity or angle that indicate an accident. That's when it inflates within a tenth of a second to resemble "a futuristic headpiece in a Björk music video."
The nation's largest banks are all financialy strong enough to weather an economic crisis, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday. Thirty-one banks in all passed the Fed's annual stress test, meaning they had enough available capital to withstand a theoretical depression in which unemployment soars to 10 percent amid collapses in the housing and stock markets.
However, it was only the first stage of stress testing. Next week, the Fed will announce whether banks pass a second test to determine if they are fit enough to buy back stock and distribute dividends to shareholders.
Cardinal Edward M. Egan, who led the Archdiocese of New York from 2000 to 2009, died Thursday of a heart attack. He was 82 years old.
In a statement, Cardinal Timothy Dolan praised Egan's "generous and faithful priesthood," adding, "Thank God he had a peaceful death."
Astronomers have discovered what is only the second known planet living in a family of four stars.
While still rare, the find means four-star systems with planets are much more common than previously believed. Discovery News notes that the discovery could have significant implications about how planets form in multi-star systems.
Scientists had previously identified the planet, but thought it was part of a three-star system. Only recently did astronomers discover a fourth star, a red dwarf, lurking there.
"Star systems come in myriad forms. There can be single stars, binary stars, triple stars, even quintuple star systems," Lewis Roberts from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory told Discovery News. "It's amazing the way nature puts these things together."
Scientists now believe that four percent of solar-type stars are part of four-star systems. The findings about the new four-star system, named 30 Ari, will be published in the Astronomical Journal.
Because of liability concerns, lots of cities across the U.S. have banned sled-riding in public places. And residents of our nation's capital are taking it lying down — literally.
The Hill reports that protesters upset over the sledding ban on the west lawn of the Capitol — prime sledding real estate — planned to stage a ''sled-in'' today. An online petition to get the Capitol Board Police to lift the ban had more than 800 signatures by noon on Thursday.
A police official told The Hill, ''For security reasons, the Capitol grounds are not your typical neighborhood hill or playground.''
Defiant sledders are reportedly being told to leave the premises ''brusquely'' by police.
As a former local news anchor and current executive vice president of Marriott International, Kathleen Matthews has a lot going for her besides a famous husband. And it looks like she'll try to add to that impressive resume.
Politico reports that the wife of Chris Matthews, the firebrand host of MSNBC's Hardball, has begun "talking to Democratic activists and interviewing potential consultants'' about running for Rep. Chris Van Hollen's (D-Md.) seat, as he leaves to seek retiring Sen. Barbara Mikulski's seat.
According to Politico, Kathleen Matthews has worked to improve Marriott's sustainability and to make the company friendlier toward the LGBT community. She also earned kudos from former President Bill Clinton, who recently attended the opening of a Marriott in earthquake-damaged Haiti, an effort Matthews spearheaded.
Mark Lippert, the American ambassador to South Korea, said Thursday he was upbeat and on his way to recovery after an attacker slashed his face with a knife.
"Doing well & in great spirits," he wrote on Twitter.
On Wednesday, a knife-wielding attacker stabbed Lippert during a breakfast lecture in Seoul. South Korean authorities said the assailant, Kim Ki-jong, was a fringe nationalist who acted alone, and President Park Geun-hye condemned the incident as an "intolerable attack on the South Korean-United States alliance."
Moles might just be the unsung heroes of archaeology.
A team of moles previously unearthed Roman artifacts from an ancient fort in England, and the creatures' talents are helping archaeologists once again.
The Viborg Museum in northern Denmark is using moles to help look for a fort from the Middle Ages. Researchers from the museum analyze mole hills after the moles bring pottery fragments and other artifacts to the surface.
"The closer we get to a building, the higher the content of items per liter we find," Jesper Hjermind of the Viborg Museum told The Copenhagen Post. "It's simple, but it works."
Hjermind even gave the moles' work an adorable name, "moleology."
Lawyers for Michael Brown's parents announced Thursday that they will file a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson, Missouri, and former police officer Darren Wilson.
Wilson, who is white, fatally shot Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, in Ferguson last year.
The announcement comes after the Justice Department said it would not bring charges against Wilson. The department also released a report Wednesday that charged Ferguson's police department with routine racial discrimination.
Daryl Parks, Brown's family's attorney, said the report documented "rampant, wholesale, systemic" problems in Ferguson's police department that must "change soon for the safety of the citizens."
An Arizona judge on Thursday declared a mistrial in the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias murder case, after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. The mistrial came after another jury, which convicted Arias of murder two years ago, also failed to agree on whether she should be sentenced to death or face life in prison.
Arias was found guilty in May 2013 of brutally killing her boyfriend five years earlier. A judge will now decide her fate at a sentencing hearing set for April 13, though the death penalty is off the table because of the two mistrials.

When I used to play league once a week, I still had the honor ribbon. (This is back in April, May, June 2013). I now play up to 9 hours a day, and have the HO ribbon from yolo-Q. People do honor.
Hopefully you're still looking at this. Around the time that the ARAM queue was released, I was sitting on both the Teamwork and Leader ribbons. Once the queue was released, I spammed a TON of games with a pre-made group of friends, and as such, wasn't receiving honor. Upon finishing upwards of 100 games while playing entirely with a pre-made group, I lost both ribbons due to a lack of keeping up the honor count in comparison to the amount of games I had played. Just wondering if this was intentional, seeing as there is a decreased value on honor points when it comes from a friend, or if this is just an overlooked part of the system.

The reason we don't see banners anymore is because of the abused report function. Trolls are now reporting the people they verbally harrass, because they don't approve of "talking back" to them. People who have been wrongfully reported are getting temp bans, and the first warning includes stripping the player of all their banners. We need to petition all user names that are abusing the report to get them perma-banned from the game. They are ruining the community, and killing all the matches with their abuse. The legit players are falling victim to an exploitable report. I would know, i had all 3 banners, till some trolls i told to leave me alone, reported me. Due to this i was temp banned and stripped of all honor. I put a lot of money into LoL, and still get reported for not doing anything wrong in a match. So i fear i will eventually have a perma-ban. In that time, the trolls of League will take over one player at a time.
Riot Rhojin, if you could answer this question, that would be fantastic. I was wondering why I didn't get my blue ribbon when it showed me that I had earned it when I logged in a few weeks ago. It said I got it, went to go play a game and I still had my Green Ribbon, whats up with that? I've also had many friends report that same problem!

Lipman sketches her characters' foibles with amused affection and moves the plot forward with practiced ease." – Washington Post Unexpectedly widowed Gwen-Laura Schmidt is still mourning her husband, Edwin, when her older sister Margot invites her to join forces as roommates in Margot's luxurious Greenwich Village apartment. For Margot, divorced amid scandal (hint: her husband was a fertility doctor) and then made Ponzi-poor, it's a chance to shake Gwen out of her grief and help make ends meet. To further this effort she enlists a third boarder, the handsome, cupcake-baking Anthony. As the three swap moneymaking schemes and timid Gwen ventures back out into the dating world, the arrival of Margot's paroled ex in the efficiency apartment downstairs creates not just complications but the chance for all sorts of unexpected forgiveness.

Their brief, erotically charged marriage is extinguished with Elizabeth's murder. Sam's life afterward is complicated. In a moment of desperate confusion, he sells his life story to a Norwegian filmmaker named Istvakson, known for the stylized violence of his films, whose artistic drive sets in motion an increasingly intense cat-and-mouse game between the two men. Furthermore, Sam has begun "seeing" Elizabeth—not only seeing but holding conversations with her, almost every evening, and what at first seems simply hallucination born of terrible grief reveals itself, evening by evening, as something else entirely.

But as it becomes clear that Anna is not a normal child, the book circles questions of responsibility, potential, even age, with Margaret Drabble's characteristic intelligence and wit. Told from the point of view of Jess's fellow mothers, The Pure Gold Baby is a movingly intimate look at the unexpected transformations at the heart of motherhood.

When the low side driver is pulsing pin 1 of the driver module should have pulses from 0 volts to Ve (high side voltage). This pumps a voltage equal to Vcc + Ve on C4. The gate drive required on Q1 is Vcc + Ve, assuming Vcc is enough to turn on Q1. If you look at the spec sheet for the IR2130 the circuit is more clear.
Given that Q1 and Q4 are being PWM to run the motor, it would be possible to turn on turn on Q4 all the time and only PWM Q1. Then Q2 could be turned on whenever Q1 is off drive the boot straps. With BLDC motors the FETs are being pulsed all the time even at WOT so there is no problem with the boot strap capacitors dying. In your circuit WOT is a static state and the boot strap capacitors will decay to zero volts. |

For the circuit in question here, the low side driver is connected to a different driver module and does not pump the boot strap circuit for the high side driver. Ignoring everything else but the boot strap circuit, it is irrelevant whether the low side driver is on hard or pulsed |

He is building a brushed speed control, I always build a a separate supply voltage to run the high side this way you have only one FET in the bridge being PWM and the high side turned on hard, more efficient, and less heat from transitioning. Novak reversing controllers were this way and so were Tekin units too.

Welp. Version2 is done. And it's pretty damn close to working. But... not quite.
See it here. Schematic Here. *Note that I removed R5 and R7 as well. Everything is switching cleanly. Nice square waves input. Nice square waves output. Mosfets that should be OFF are, in fact, staying off. Nothing getting remotely warm. Only problem: my high-side V-gate-to-source is only reaching ~3.8V. My mosfets need 4.5+ to turn on (they are logic type). I find my mosfet total gate capacitance to be somewhere around 7000pF (31nC at 4.5V). The driver datasheet says Cboot should be > Qgate/Vdroop. So that's 31e-9C / 0.1V = 3.1e-7 or 0.31uF. It also says Cboot should not exceed 1.2uF. I am using 1.0uF, so I'd say that should be plenty. Highside: Gate-Source - Voltage Readout HighSide: Gate-Source - Freq Readout LowSide: Gate-Source(Gnd) - Voltage Readout LowSide: Gate-Source(Gnd) - Freq Readout If I watch Cboot with the highside Mosfet held low, I get a steady 4.5V. Why would this not go up to the full 5V supply of the driver? Some kind of internal drop in their level-switcher-doodad? If I watch Cboot with the highside Mosfet PWM active, I get a steady 3.8V. With the scope set to AC-coupling and 10mV scale, I find only 25mV transients matching the repetition of the PWM (109hz). edit: (The transients are a bit weird, though, because the voltage increases very slowly over the span of PWM=OFF and then drops rapidly at the GateCharge Event. Almost like the driver has a large internal resistance in it's Cboot-charging-thingy. (But I need to setup a 2nd probe so I can trigger off the PWM rising edge to really confirm that my timing guess is right). To eliminate the possiblity of Cboot being too small, I laid another 1uF directly on top of it (paralleling to 2uF) and I get identical results. I then tried laying a 22uF on top of it. With identical results. I tried removing R5/R7 (the Gate-Source 10k resistors on high side) to eliminate them as leaking too much current. Operation remained identical. Increasing PWM frequency makes things worse. Changing Duty Cycle has negligible effect. Even a 1/255 duty cycle results in only 3.8Vgs. Load is still a simple resistor. Ideas? Next time.

You should not have the 10k resistors on the high side mosfets. What mosfets are you using? |

What's New:
Welcome to our website
We do hope you will find it informative, but please feel free to contact me directly via the "Contact Us" page with any questions.
We endeavour to create possibilities to explore the art of dance for all participants who wish to gain skills and learning in dance. Ages range from Nursery to Adult.
Our comprehensive timetable covers the following classes:
*Ballet* *Modern/Jazz* *Tap*
*Contemporary* *Acrobatics* *Pilates for Dancers*
Carter School of Dance offers the opportunity to gain enjoyment and confidence from a dance experience tailored for each individual.
At Carter School of Dance:
Our location is easily accessible with free car parking adjacent to our classes, which is very important, especially for younger families. We also have a waiting area and changing facilities.
Everybody at the school aims to create an inclusive and supportive environment and encourage parents/carers to be part of the progression and experiences. The teachers are always happy to talk to families as we strive to work in an open and encouraging atmosphere.
We aim to teach the principles of sound technique to achieve a strong standard as it is attainable for each individual. We will encourage the progression of balletic training through the structured syllabi of the Royal Academy of Dance. The school encourages the progression of Modern and Tap training through the structured syllabi of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance. Where appropriate, for gifted students, information and support on how to pursue their talent via scholarships and specialist schools will be made available.
Based at The Sele School - Hertford's specialist in performing arts - Carter School of Dance benefits from wonderful practice space, including the purpose built dance studio. The considerable space available to us is vital for young dancers as it offers full scope for freedom of movement.
We also have pianists to accompany the ballet classes and to encourage musical understanding.
We hope that you enjoy looking at the images of the school's senior students taken at our Senior Dance Show at the Hertford Theatre (formerly Castle Hall) in November 2012. These shows are an important part of the school's activities. The opportunity for public performance is planned every few years and alternates between the senior (Grade 3 and above) and junior students. Each class (and all students) perform. The Junior Show is staged at The Sele School providing a setting familiar to the younger children. All other images have been informally taken and we thank the students and their families for these images.

@alex94: In 1969, there was a court case called Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District regarding freedom of speech at school. This was based off of events in December of 1965.
In Des Moines, Iowa, students John Tinker, Mary Beth Tinker, and Chris Eckhardt wore black armbands to school, protesting the Vietnam War. School officials told them they must remove their armbands and the students refused. As a result of their refusal, they were suspended. Their parents got together and filed a lawsuit against the school district, claiming that their First Amendment rights had been violated.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students. However, the Court did not grant unlimited rights to self-expression. The First Amendment must be balanced against the school's need to keep order. It is considered acceptable as long as an expression or act does not disrupt classwork, school activities, or invade the rights of others.

The actor's most successful role to date was portraying Henry in Martin Scorsese's 1990 film based on his life, and said he hopes the former mobster - who died of an undisclosed illness, aged 69 - has finally found peace.
he told TMZ.com: "Although I played Henry Hill in the movie 'Goodfellas' I only met him a few short times so I can't say I knew him but, I do know he lived a complicated life.
"My heart goes out to his family and may he finally rest in peace."
Henry had led a wild life, getting involved with the mob in New York at an early age, and being associated with the Lucchese family during the 1970s.
His criminal activities peaked when his gang stole $5million in a heist at the Lufthansa cargo bay at New York's JKF airport.
Henry made his way up the ranks but was eventually arrested in 1980 and agreed to expose his mafia connections, in return for being placed in a witness protection programme.
A book, 'Wiseguy' about his time in the mafia was written with Nicholas Pileggi, which later went on to become 'Goodfellas'.
Henry was expelled from the protection programme in the early 90s after committing various drug-related crimes.
In recent years he had become a minor celebrity, appearing on radio shows, marketing his own brand of spaghetti sauce and opening a restaurant called Wiseguys.
Here's the trailer for the 1990 movie:

Local tech company growing

Sicoir Computer Technologies' new building is just a stone's throw from the former location.
But the structure is another world.
It's six times larger than the previous space, from 1,000 square feet to just more than 6,000 square feet, said Dallas Haselhorst, who co-owns the business with Lance Bickle.
Almost 3 miles of networking cable is tucked inside the building.
Haselhorst started Sicoir -- an acronym for Simple Ideas Can Often Initiate Revolutions -- more than 10 years ago in his basement working with local businesses. Bickle was too. Friends since middle school, they joined forces in business.
Now the business works with "anything technical oriented -- tablets, laptops, desktops, networking equipment, firewalls, alarm systems, camera systems, security audits," Bickle said.
Sicoir started "opposite of the way most computer businesses work because we were focusing on businesses to start with, then kind of got into the retail side," Haselhorst said.
"A lot of businesses go into the retail, then go into the business side," Haselhorst said.
Working with businesses then led the company to the home market, Bickle said.
Sicoir has had a retail store for approximately eight years -- first a small store on Vine Street, then at 1501 W. 27th, next door to the new building.
"It's a heck of a move," Haselhorst said.
The building's first floor has a retail showroom, work area large enough for 10 technicians, storage room and break room.
A large room takes up a rear corner of the first floor, so the business can provide training for everything from using a computer to specific programs.
The business employs eight people, and the number could increase as the business expands.
Besides handling walk-in traffic with problems such as broken screens, installation difficulties and error messages, the staff also provides remote support for businesses, school districts and hospitals.
Working on systems remotely means "while you're waiting on something, instead of sitting and twiddling your thumbs, we could be doing five other things," Bickle said.
The business also is doing more Web designing and expanding into computer security, especially in health care and legal services.
The basement is being outfitted to provide a secure location for servers and other equipment for entities such as hospitals, banks and law offices.
"Some things require having a camera on it at all times," Bickle said.
Others must have a custody trail.
"A lot of people rely on us for that security," Haselhorst said. "They might not have anybody on staff who understands that."
The second floor of the building provides office space for Haselhorst and Bickle, a conference room and a large room that can be adapted as the company grows.
Haselhorst said they looked at "where are we going to be five, 10 years from today. Let's build for that."
"And nobody really wanted to move again," Bickle said.

EUGENE, Ore. — 4J administrators say in the past 20 years they cut their art departments in half. Staff, students and the local community are coping with that change.
Those KEZI 9 News spoke to said they were disappointed to see how much that part of our education has changed. And while they understand the budget constraints, they hope folks see how big of an impact nurturing our creative sides has on individuals as a whole.
Though programming has greatly diminished, South Eugene High School's halls showcase its love for the arts and continued efforts to keep it alive.
"I think without art, school would be a lot more difficult for kids," said South Eugene High School junior Katie Evans.
Evans says ceramics is one of her favorite classes.
"This is almost like our recess in a way. Since we don't have those breaks anymore, this is a great time to relax from all the hard parts of school," Evans said.
Her educators agree.
"It's so important," said South Eugene H.S. fine arts teacher Peter Saraceno. "That kept me going through high school, the art classes and the fun I had there."
While those core courses in math and language arts are key to boosting scores, these classes add a little more to life.
"I think a lot of us recognize that a higher purpose of humanity is in the creative arts and music in terms of a reason for being, and that's why I think it's a shame," said Randy Bernstein, South Eugene High School Principal.
And how can we expect to bridge this gap?
"The government's taking money away from the schools. It's the community's responsibly to provide these opportunities, because if we don't, nobody else will," said Susane Reis, Eugene Piano Academy Director.
Reis has teamed up with other local organizations to provide arts advocacy programs for at risk youth. And she along with her fellow art supporters hope the decline isn't the beginning of the end.
"I hope that for the kids that are in elementary school that by the time they come to high school that arts will be back and roaring like it was years ago when we had funding for it," Evans said.
4J says it's doing its best to maintain the arts and elective programs. In fact, this year is an improvement from the last with the addition of both music and physical education courses for at least a quarter in its elementary schools.

George Clooney is in comic mode as a not-so-normal special forces agent. (Overture Films)
George Clooney is a fun guy. Sure he makes serious movies -- "Michael Clayton," the upcoming "Up in the Air" -- but he also seems to understand the value of a good laugh.
"The Men Who Stare at Goats" is a good laugh.
Yeah, there's a healthy amount of inept government conspiracy mumbo-jumbo going on, but mostly it's a boy's-club psychic brouhaha meant to entertain. Think "Ocean's Eleven" meets "The X-Files."
Ewan McGregor stars as Bob Wilton, a reporter for a paper in Ann Arbor who, after his wife dumps him, decides to strike out for the big time. So he goes to the Middle East, planning on being a war correspondent. But then he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), and the tale Cassady spins may turn out to be the story of a lifetime. It seems Cassady was part of a secret military unit training to use paranormal gifts under soldier-turned-hippie Bill Django (Jeff Bridges).
After spending years trying to levitate and walk through walls, Cassady and Django were essentially drummed out of the military psychic business by the despicable poser Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey). But now, Cassady has been called back to duty and he's on a secret mission in Iraq. Bob's invited to come along.
Which leads to much Jedi-warrior babble and many questions as to whether Lyn Cassady is for real. Is he really breaking up that cloud with his mind, or is it just dissipating on its own? Can he control the thoughts of others, is he able to make things move without touching them and, most importantly, can he really kill with his mind?
This is grizzled, wild-eyed Clooney, not the suave sophisticate, and it's a nice change of pace. It's also a blast watching Bridges go through his hippie-dippy moves, and the suddenly revived Stephen Lang has some absolutely golden moments as a general who really, really wants to believe.
Directed by Clooney chum Grant Heslov with a fine sense of overboard comic urgency, "The Men Who Stare at Goats" won't win Clooney an Oscar, but it should win him a lot of friends. And, really, that's what counts in Hollywood and elsewhere.

In The Kite Runner, why do you think Amir recalls the memory of the sheep sacrifice when he witnesses Hassan's tragedy in the alleyway?
Amir remembers an Afghan celebration in which a sheep must be sacrificed, he talks about seeing the sheep's eyes moments before its death.
1 Answer | Add Yours
A strong thematic parallel is suggested here between Hassan and the sheep whose sacrifice Amir had witnessed. Both Hassan and the animal are innocent of offense; both are powerless, victimized by forces beyond their control.
The reference to the sheep's eyes implies that Amir saw something in those eyes that continues to haunt him: fear, confusion, and suffering—emotions Hassan experiences during the brutal attack he endures.
Finally, the concept of animal sacrifice completes the thematic parallel. As a religious rite, an animal was offered up to a greater power for the well-being of those making the sacrifice. By choosing to take no action to save his friend, Amir effectively offers up Hassan to the bullies attacking him in order to secure Amir's own safety. Hassan is sacrificed on the altar of Amir's fear and cowardice.
At the moment of Hassan's greatest agony, Amir recalls the sacrifice of the sheep: Consciously or subconsciously, at that moment he recognizes the truth about himself.

Walmart workers were spotted protesting at dozens of stores across the country Friday morning as part of a nationwide walk-out during one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
More than a 100 protesters in lime green shirts marched outside the Walmart in Lakewood, Colo., on Black Friday to demand higher wages and better benefits.
CBS Los Angeles affiliate KCAL-TV reports a handful of people left the Walmart in Duarte, Calif., early Friday morning to hand out flyers and hold signs in support of the workers. There were also reports of protests in North Carolina, Texas, Minnesota, Florida, Kentucky and other states.
"I did it because I support our Walmart and I don't like the way they treat their associates here," worker Richard Reynoso told KCAL-TV's Art Barron. "And I believe with our help, we could be able to change that."
For the most part, shoppers appeared undeterred by the protests. In Lakewood, Colorado residents went in and out of the Walmart without incident.
The strike was organized by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and a group called OUR Walmart, which said it was protesting unfair labor practices and demanding better pay for employees. The group had anticipated 1,000 protests across the country.
Some demonstrations began Thursday night, when stores opened their doors early for Black Friday deals. Walmart U.S Chief Executive Bill Simon claimed in a statement that not nearly as many employees walked out as the union had expected.
"Only 26 protests occurred at stores last night and many of them did not include any Walmart associates," he said.
"We estimate that less than 50 associates participated in the protest nationwide. In fact, this year, roughly the same number of associates missed their scheduled shift as last year," Simon said.
Walmart associates are not unionized, so the chain does not officially recognize the UFCW. Company executives defended their treatment of employees.
"Walmart's pay and benefits plans are as good as or better than our retail competitors, including those that are unionized," Steven V. Restivo, Senior Director of Community Affairs, told KCAL-TV.
Of the company's 2.2 million workers, Restivo said Walmart has 250,000 employees who have worked for the company for more than ten years. In 2011, the company promoted 165,000 hourly employees, KCAL-TV reports.
OUR Walmart, however, has said employee income -- often close to minimum wage -- is barely enough to live on, and the group claims it has received complaints of retaliation from the employers for speaking out.
"Unfair labor is working full time and living in poverty," Colby Harris, a Walmart associate from Lancaster Texas, said in a UFCW press release.

Oregon Close to Require Licensure of Sonographers
Oregon has become the second state to sign a sonographer licensure bill into law...
On July 28, 2009, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski signed the HB 2245 sonographer licensure bill. The law renames and restructures the Oregon Board of Radiologic Technologists to the Oregon Board of Medical Imaging (OBMI) and ensures representation of sonographers on the Board. The sonographer licensure law requires Oregon sonographers to become licensed by OBMI effective July 1, 2010. Beginning on January 1, 2014, all sonography licensees would be required to hold a national sonography certification/credential (or be currently enrolled as a student).
ARDMS is expected to be an accepted credentialing organization that will fulfill the state requirement. With the dates already set in place, additional administrative rules/regulations will be developed over the next year.
The ARDMS Legislative and External Affairs Committee will continue to monitor the developments of the Oregon law and provide updates via the ARDMS website (www.ARDMS.org) and in future editions of Registry Reports and NewsWire.

Spotlight on a Sonographer: Stella Ho, PhD, PDDR, RDMS, RVT
Stella Ho has been instrumental in arranging for and administering ARDMS testing in Hong Kong, China...
It is always difficult selecting a sonographer out of the talented, devoted, and passionate groups of ARDMS Registrants. Notes for Educators would like to recognize Stella Ho, PhD, PDDR, RDMS, RVT, who has been instrumental in arranging for and administering ARDMS testing in Hong Kong, China.
Stella entered the profession of radiography in 1983 after graduated from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU) as a diagnostic radiographer. In the early eighties, sonography was a new diagnostic imaging tool in Hong Kong and ultrasound examinations were predominantly performed by radiologists. As there were no sonographers at that time, radiographers had limited roles in the ultrasound rooms. Their main responsibilities were to receive and take care of the patients for ultrasound examinations, annotate the sonograms, file the films and discharge the patients. The talents of radiographers remained untapped.
In 1984, Stella was privileged to work under an ultrasound expert, Professor Constantine Metreweli, the ex-Chairman of Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) at Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH). Professor Metreweli actively promoted STAR practice at PWH and trained radiographers to scan and draft reports for ultrasound examinations. STAR practice involves Scanning of patients, Taking quality sonograms, Abnormality detection, and Drafting reports. Under his supervision, Stella and three of her colleagues attempted ARDMS tests in 1988 and attained credentials in Abdomen and Obstetrics & Gynecology. To her best knowledge, this gave birth to the first batch of RDMS Registrants in Hong Kong. In 1993, she further passed the tests in Neurosonology and Vascular Technology. Apart from the ARDMS credentials, Stella also acquired an MPhil degree and a PhD in 1997 and 2002 respectively.
After promoted to the post of Senior Radiographer in 1997, Stella is actively involved in research and training and development of radiographers in sonography. She had been appointed as an Honorary Clinical Associate of HKPU from 2001 to 2007 and is currently an Adjunct Associate Professor of CUHK. In the past ten years, she published about 30 ultrasound articles in indexed journals. Of half, she is the first author. She also co-authored six ultrasound books.
As an experienced sonographer, Stella was recently appointed as a Consultant Radiographer (Ultrasound) and the chairman of Ultrasonography Panel in Hospital Authority (HA), Hong Kong. All along, Stella is committed to promoting STAR practice in sonographers. Taking advantage of her rapport with CUHK and HA, she coordinated the opening of ARDMS test center in CUHK in 2005 and the accreditation of Institute of Advanced Allied Health Studies in HA as the ARDMS program provider for CME activities lately. These greatly facilitate local sonographers to pursue ARDMS credentials and maintain their active status.
To date, more than 100 sonographers/physicians in the region have attained various ARDMS credentials and the ARDMS certification process has become the primary ultrasound requirement for sonographers not only in Hong Kong, but neighboring countries such as South Korea and Pakistan.
Nonetheless, successful implementation of STAR practice is still impeded by a lack of structured ultrasound training programs in Hong Kong. Stella is looking forward to working closely with HA and collaborating with other ultrasound institutions to develop a structured training program for local sonographers in the near future.

Bringing Hope and Improving Patient Care
ARDMS recognizes sonographers who go above and beyond in their profession...
ARDMS takes pride in recognizing sonographers who go above and beyond in their profession. It is often difficult to spotlight one sonographer's achievement when we have such a large community dedicated to improving patient care worldwide.
The following article was submitted by an ARDMS Registrant, Connie Ambrecht, RDMS.
As I clocked in at my 7:00 to 3:30 job, my mind drifted to thoughts of vacation. This vacation was going to be different than any before. I was going to Haiti on a health care mission trip. The usual vacation preparation was taking place; planning, packing, booking flights, destination research and daydreaming of what was to come. This trip brought about different daydreams, what would it be like when we got there? Who will be learning how to use the equipment? How many doctors will be there? What shape will the equipment be in? What will the patients be like? How will the food be? What about the living conditions, will I have a hot shower? This vacation would be spent on a health care mission trip. A trip to Haiti to use my sonography skills in a way I'd never done before.
As the trip was coming together, I connected with the team who was going, doctors, nurses and another RDMS certified sonographer. It almost felt like we were on a reality television show with a project to get together. Our main task: collect supplies to take with us in an extra suitcase. As it turned out it was amazing to see and experience how easy it was to collect gel, gel bottles, thermal paper, drapes for exams and whatever supplies we could get together through donations. Offices and hospitals are very willing to donate what they can.
My trip to Haiti is the most recent health care mission, medical outreach, or humanitarian sonography trip I've participated in. In April 2005, I participated in my first international sonography trip; destination: Armenia. Since then I have been to Romania, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Ecuador.
You may feel that international travel may not fit your lifestyle but domestic volunteer opportunities would be just right. There are many free medical clinics who offer a variety of services. One may need abdominal scanning and another obstetrical. One thing is certain; medical professionals are willing to reach out and use their skills to serve others. At a time when many are finding themselves uninsured, more volunteers are needed. I hope you are challenged to consider what medical clinic might need you.
Connie Ambrecht, RDMS is the founder of Hope Imaging. Hope Imaging is a 501C-3 organization that coordinates RDMS Registrants with health care mission teams who need sonography trainers and practitioners. Feel free to contact Connie at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.hopeimaging.org.

The complexity of social and public health challenges has led to burgeoning interest and investments in cross-disciplinary team-based research, and particularly in transdisciplinary (TD) team-based research. TD research aims to integrate and ultimately extend beyond discipline-specific concepts, approaches, and methods to accelerate innovations and progress toward solving complex real-world problems. While TD research offers the promise of novel, wide-reaching, and important discoveries, it also introduces unique challenges. In particular, today's investigators are generally trained in unidisciplinary approaches and may have little training in, or exposure to, the scientific skills and team processes necessary to collaborate successfully in teams of colleagues from widely disparate disciplines and fields. Yet these skills are essential to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of TD team-based research. In the current article, we propose a model of TD team-based research that includes four relatively distinct phases: development, conceptualization, implementation, and translation. Drawing on the science of team science field, as well as the findings from previous research on group dynamics and organizational behavior, we identify key scientific goals and team processes that occur in each phase and across multiple phases. We then provide real-world exemplars for each phase that highlight strategies for successfully meeting the goals and engaging in the team processes that are hallmarks of that phase. We conclude by discussing the relevance of the model for TD team-based research initiatives, funding to support these initiatives, and future empirical research that aims to better understand the processes and outcomes of TD team-based research.
