Russell Simmons Brings TM To Hillhouse

Posted to: Schools
The Godfather of Hip-Hop has one word for spreading the peace at Hillhouse High School: Om.
Music mogul Russell Simmons is bringing the practice that accompanies that word—transcendental meditation—to New Haven's second-biggest high school.
The celebrity producer and entrepreneur announced during a visit to the city Tuesday that he's paying to have Hillhouse's teachers learn TM so they can in turn teach it to the school's students. The idea is to have everyone chill out and meditate twice a day, once the program gets under way.
That was but one highlight of a whirlwind day in which the celebrity inspired an auditorium full of 800 people at Hillhouse, then appeared at a $200 to $500-a-ticket fundraiser for the NAACP held at Rodrick Gilchrist Fashion House.
The NAACP, R.J. Julia Booksellers, NewAlliance Bank, and the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven sponsored the visit.
Simmons was the picture of what one has come to expect: humble, calm, wearing a light colored sweater over a white-collar shirt, jeans with gleaming white sneakers, the obligatory Yankees baseball cap, and a high-end Maybach vehicle, complete with driver.
Simmons, considered the godfather of Hip-Hop music, whose brand has expanded to clothing, stage performance, jewelry and finance, is known to the younger generation as "Uncle Rush." He makes appearances on MTV's "Run's House," a reality show revolving around the family life of his brother, Joseph Simmons, the "Run" in rap duo Run-DMC. He is the ex-husband of former model, entrepreneur and reality-show star Kimora Lee, and he's the reality star of his own show.
What one probably didn't expect: Simmons is a vegan who also wants to spread TM—and a non-materialistic, spiritual mission in general—to young people in cities.
Simmons came to New Haven to promote his new book, "Super Rich." The title refers not to gaining material wealth, but to achieving "spiritual wealth."
Electrified students in Hillhouse's auditorium received autographed copies of the book and listened intently as Principal Kermit Carolina interviewed Simmons on the stage. After a color guard presentation of the flag, with the national anthem played on the saxophone by Corey Staggers, a video greeting to Simmons from the Hillhouse students, a poetry reading by Aoysia Jean of a Def Poetry Jam piece, and a violin piece from Justin Green, the conversation began.
Simmons and Carolina discussed the definition of success, the running of Simmons' five charities, why he's vegan ("Man being given domain over animals doesn't mean we have animals birthed, only to overfeed them and then use them for our needs"), the new book, and the value of taking a break during the day to meditate.
Simmons told the students that "sitting quiet" for a couple of times during the day will bring them better, positive thoughts. If they sit and listen to their thoughts, he said, they can watch their thoughts and see what's positive and what's negative.
He then went on to talk about another music mogul, Sean "Diddy" Combs. "When I was in a meeting with [record company owner] Andre Harrell, this kid did everything possible to make sure I had everything I needed. I didn't even ask him for the cup of coffee. He just appeared and put in my hands; he anticipated my needs. He worked his butt off. He was a servant—a nd now, he's a president of a company. He has a servant's heart."
Simmons told the students he wants them to become "great givers and good getters." He also said he wants the students to be "awake."
Toward that end, he announced his decision to pay for training for members of the Hillhouse staff to train in a program that helps students use transcendental meditation to alleviate stress. The program was founded by the David Lynch Foundation. It has been used in a high school in Washington, D.C.
Hillhouse students Dante Britto (foreground in photo) and Joseph Sebastian said they liked Simmons' message. "The majority of his message was hard work pays off," Britto said.
Senior Jason Burgo said he learned al lot "about passion, about being conscious, about being aware of yourself and your environments. Doing what you have to do to be successful … I'm taking that to heart."
Sophomore Sherell Nesbith wants to become a nurse. She said what Simmons said had an impact on her because "I don't want to go out and have a problem with anybody out there, and I want them to understand where I'm coming from. The money issue, what he was talking about, I don't see people out there giving money to younger people that need it."
Nesbith said she knows people close to her who got involved in the drug life and went to jail. "So I basically understand what he was talking about. It shows me that, that's not my path, that I should follow in my own footsteps."
Later in the day, at the NAACP reception at Rodrick Gilchrist Fashion House at Whalley and Blake in Westville Village, those who paid $200 got an autographed copy of "Super Rich."
Those who paid $500 got to "meet and greet" with Simmons and take a picture with him.

How can someone with alot of money pay just to implement something like this in a school? So,if I had alot of money, I can pay to have a program for kids to pray everyday in schools? It's crazy what money can do.

Being a multi-multi-millionaire can lend itself toward ones meditative state.
I somehow figured that rascal David Lynch was wrapped up in this. Whats next… quinoa on the lunch menu?

And why is the Community Foundation sponsoring this? R. J. Julia I get-they sell books presumably his. But what community function is served by this self/quasi-religious promotion?

I say bring the $, bring the celebs, bring a message - this community needs inspiration, attention and hope.

Don't hate the player…..
Well you know the rest.
Nice to know a positive message was sent to our inner city youth. They need to hear it from the horses mouth. Not the horses, well you know.
At least they can identify with him. Being that he is black, from the hood, and made it out the hood with enough money to give back to boot. Not just some liberal program. It is a very powerful message when someone that looks like you tells it. Students are hearing it from too many people who don't, so they don't buy it. If you look like me and have had a similar experience to mine, I am more than likely to believe you. As far as taking time out to chill a couple times a day. I wonder how much different it is going to be than yoga. They are allowing that in the schools and you have to be "trained" to teach it. Considering the drop out rates of our inner city youth, we will take what we can get, thank you very much.

Well done Russell. It's not well known but Transcendental Meditation has proven to be uniquely successful in improving graduation rates so it's a great addition to the daily routine of students.
posted by: andrew garrow on March 16, 2011 10:24am
There was no message sent.
A message would have been to feature an africian american who worked hard, put himself through college and became a local Store owner or accountant who became successful because he kept his tenacity, worked hard and didn't look for shortcuts.
A message would have been a young hispanic woman from Fair Have who worked two jobs to put her through nursing school, and now owns a house and loves her family.

How can people on this blog be so negative, when the man is trying to encourage positive behavior in OUR communities. We have lost way to many lives because someone didnt take out the time to consider the consequences before their actions. Although i am not one for transcendental meditation and would rather see the school add Conflict resolution and Mediation as a part of the curriculum i am willing to support whatever ideas will save a life, and put our young people on a track to success.

Ok, so I get it. Inner city youth (Blacks and Latinos" Have to go through something to be something. Hmmmm, how does that translate to the suburban youth??? Your family has money (is this a short cut) so life is going to be easier for you than inner city youth so that means when you all grown up and successful you should not be proud of how you got there because you did not go through a struggle in the hood. Whatever, the fact that Russell showed up and spoke was a positive message. But you don't know anything about that because as far as you're concerned he did not struggle enough for it. As previously stated "we will take what we can get." The last time I checked you have to work to obtain a life style like Russell's has. No one handed anything to him, he worked for it. Just like no one is going to hand inner city youth anything. They have to work for it. They can work as hard as Russell or they can struggle as you suggest. Russell's proof you need to work hard in school,go to, complete college, and do the damn thing and not sit around waiting for the some other person's approval. By the way, Russell did manage to go to and complete City College of New York. Not an Ivy League, but he was able to learn a few business skills while there. There are many success stories like the one you stated, I happen to be one of them. But I will tell you one thing. I don't want my kids to have to endure what I did. The parent's of many of our inner city youth are working hard to help create a better life for their children. For the youth who can seem to get it together, for whatever reason, stop the excuses and make your own way. Use your brain and be like Russell, Diddy, General Powell, Condoleezza Rice, or what the Hell the President. I wonder if these folks took shortcuts.

It seems that the TM has helped a lot of inner city kids in several schools around the USA. My understanding is that its a voluntary program and the parents have to give permission. So if the kids and the parents want it and its helping to reduce the violence and get the kids an education, why would we stand in the way of that?

If TM can contribute to just ONE gun being taken off our streets then it is worth a try.

Thanks Mr. Garrow:
Thanks for being the final arbiter on what constitutes a message to African American children. Also, thanks for your careful illustration on who best to deliver such a message. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

The Community Foundation sponsored an NAACP event that brought in someone to discuss ways to positively reduce violence in New Haven. This is something that CFGNH has always done, whether it is through their grant making or sponsorship program. .......... yes, your ignorance is bliss! Duuuhhhh

Great job Principal Kermit Carolina…our youth hear the same messages from the same people in the community. I applaud your efforts for widening the playing field…and its messengers!
posted by: GMG on March 16, 2011 2:02pm
I was unaware that New Haven BOE has reversed it's policy on religion in school. If that is the case, then we should next bring a pastor in to teach the young people that the bible said to "Do unto others, as we would have them do unto us." "Do what is right and good" "Thou shall not kill" etc. If everyone practiced just those three things, New Haven would be an entirely different city.
posted by: To the haters on March 16, 2011 2:59pm
If you took the time to read up on TM you will find that it is clearly scientific in nature. "God Forbid" no pun intended… the inner city youth should have a proven program that works to help them deal issues like, ADHD and other learning disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, cardiovascular disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and diabetes. In the suburbs they call dealing with issues like these, health care and therapy. If you not of which you write. Don't write. Or is that not in the bible somewhere…
Get over it! Our kids need help and many of the homes from which they derive are ill-equipped to deal, for one reason or another. I really don't think it has much to do with race, if this blog were called "the trailer park independent" they might be having the same type of discussion in middle America somewhere.

Hey if anyone is really interested in what Russell is saying, visit the David Lynch Foundation website, http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org and see for yourself. The program he talks about has worked wonders in Detroit, Washington DC, San Francisco, and many other schools. Its completely non-religious in nature and just makes students more awake, positive, and balanced. Even Catholic schools have had programs. Schools that were failing and ready to be taken over by the Feds have done well. Much less violence, better academic performance, and better athletic results. Good message Russell.

How in the world can ANYONE find something negative to say about this?! Those same people will say something negative if NOTHING was done too. By the way, meditation and yoga have NOTHING to do with religion. Do your homework.
posted by: Clarifying on behalf of To the haters on March 16, 2011 3:52pm
Ex-New Havener…the yoga was referenced because in many forms of yoga mediation is involved and like the TM, you have to be trained to teach it properly. Apologies for not being more clear. Is my homework done now??? I was just checking because you are the expert???
posted by: Ex-New Havener on March 16, 2011 4:11pm
to CLARIFYING - calm down. My comment was for the people saying that meditation and yoga is a RELIGION. I never said I was an expert on either.
posted by: not a "hater" on March 16, 2011 4:40pm
Exercise, yoga, zumba, mindfulness and secular meditation are a few healthy ways to help give students the mental break and recharge they need in the school day.
Religions and cults have no place in our schools.
Teaching TM in public schools is unconstitutional. (Malnak v. Yogi)
Shame on New Haven Public Schools for opening themselves up to a potential lawsuit. Who approved this?
We can take better care our most vulnerable citizens by giving students a more balanced and sensible school experience.
Taking care of children means protecting them from cults.

To "hater"
What our kids need is an educational system that works on their primary mission and duty – which is to educate them. Not the contempt of those who's perception of these young people is shaped by the narrative that says that their future is predetermined by their present condition.
As for your statement "many of these kids come from homes ill-equipped to deal with problems" - the only thing a lot of these families are ill-equipped to do, is move out of New Haven, so their children can be treated to a proper education, rather than being used as guinea pigs for every new fad that presents itself. On what basis is this a "proven program" of successfully educating and stemming the tide of violence in ANY community (I just need one eg.) Also, for my edification, name one suburban school where this program is being successfully implemented.
You may be comfortable masking your disdain and not so subtle racism of low expectation in ad hominem & hand wringing about how this is all about saving these poor black children who can't do any better. But OUR KIDS are running out of time and they need serious people who see them and not their "ill-equipped homes."
Having taught in both the city AND the suburbs, I am sure those teachers would report that their stress level would see a significant decline if that money could be spent adding more aides to provide more one-on-one in the classroom rather than this training program to teach them TM.
BTW…you can spin it however you want, but when you are asking a teacher and child to clear their minds and chant the name of a Hindu god…that is a very religious act.

The only cult I see here is the cult of TM-bashing. It's time you got educated to TM in the 21st Century!
posted by: Nigel Barlow on March 17, 2011 3:07am
Great to see successful people using their celebrity to introduce more profound values-especially Transcendental Meditation-to the younger generation.And much needed in our UK schools ,for teachers as well as pupils,to remove stress and develop joy in learning.
posted by: 51 cent on March 17, 2011 8:34am
lets not forget to use smudge sticks in the halls of every school that fails to meet the CMT scores.
maybe if that doesn't work we'll have the teachers handle rattlesnakes, or even better, sacrafice a chicken everytime a student drops out.
TM is dogma. dogma = religion.
how much money did mr. simmons recieve to be driven in a Maybach to talk to kids in our schools? That money could have been put back into the community to be given to some non super rich people.
posted by: Roger on March 17, 2011 10:22am
There are a lot folks living in the dark ages here. There is no "dogma" involved with TM. You don't even have to believe it works for it to work. Its a simple, mechanical, mental technique. Baptist ministers practice TM. So do Catholic priests and nuns and Jewish Rabbis. They find it helps them be more calm and healthy, more alert and balanced and it does not conflict at all with their religious beliefs. TM is verified by over 600 published studies and is prescribed by doctors. The National Institutes of Health have supported TM research to the tune of $26 million.
You want examples of its use in schools? Watch this
There are plenty of schools that would take Russell Simmons up on his offer. Time for folks in New Haven to wake up. Otherwise his help will just go elsewhere. Somewhere people are more open-minded and progressive.
posted by: JAK on March 17, 2011 3:12pm
According to the unions, Russell Simmons is the problem because he should be paying more in taxes to help government workers stay in the "middle class" by getting outrageously high benfits! Is Russell just another greedy rich guy? Or is he somehow different?
When you tax high incomes, you also tax a great work ethic and talent.
posted by: GMG on March 17, 2011 3:51pm
To Roger
The example that I asked for was a record of successfully educating and stemming the tide of violence in ANY community. But let's look at the one you have cited.
Based on 2009 CAPT result for Weaver High School where TM is being implemented (latest available) – 5% of 10th graders were at goal in math, up from 4%; 6% of 10th graders were at goal in science, down from 7; 8% of 10th graders were at goal in reading, up from 4; 15% of 10th graders were at goal in writing, down from 18. An 80-90% failure rate is not my idea of success…... I wonder??? What would Mr. Simmon's reaction be if his company had a similar failure rate?
posted by: Louise on March 18, 2011 9:51am
Wonderful article! As an educator, someone who practices TM and a human - what Simmons is helping to foster is brilliant! I know deep in my heart that when these young adults learn and stick with TM it will be such an amazing tool for success in all areas of their lives. Best news I've read this week!!
posted by: Mister Jones on March 18, 2011 12:35pm
To Roger and others—TM and yoga are each religious practices for some people. They have been each been stripped of much of their religiosity as they have been mainstreamed, and many people participating in these activities do not feel they are exercising religion. But it's still dancing pretty darn close to the line between church and state. [And the stridency of some of the arguments here remind me of the folks who complain when prayers are banned from school…] To me, as a left-wing churchgoing Christian, transcendental meditation and yoga each look like prayers to me, and I don't want my government subsidizing them.
Remember that it's not just how these things are intended, it's how the messages are received, too.
posted by: Ex-Newhavener on March 18, 2011 12:54pm
I hear everyone saying they do not want religion in their schools - well you know what may be that is the problem. If my child was going to Hillhouse I would be all for any type of positive message then it may be that will keep some of these kids ALIVE! Anybody have any better ideas!! No I doubt it. These kids need something - let it be something different - who knows maybe it will work. How about letting these kids decide what they feel will work for them because obviously what is the schools now is not.

Wisteria Lane is not the only place where you can find total desperation. In fact, you can find it on streets across America these days, as homesellers wait and wait and wait for the right buyer–any buyer–to come along.
However, in Australia, one homeseller, Ian Usher, is taking matters into his own hands. He's selling more than just his house–he's selling his life right along with it. On June 22nd, at a starting bid of A$1 (which is about 92 cents in U.S. currency), this desperate homeseller will be ebaying his life, right alongside his home. Included in the deal, is a 2006, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. Amenities include:
- Window coverings
- Secure, covered parking for 2 cars
- Storage shed
- Fully furnished
- Metal roof, brick construction
- 1989 Mazda 929
- 1996 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R
- 1995 Kawasaki 650SX Jet Ski
- Polaris 15 speed bike
- Friends (Melanie, Em, Paula, Marty, Baxter, Andy, Karen, and Dazz)
- Job (rug store assistant at Jenny Jones Rugs)
Then of course, there is another kind of desperate houseseller. There is the kind who resorts to an essay contest to offload their home. This actually pops up from time to time around the country, and in fact, the specifics are discussed in more detail by the Washington State Gambling Commission. Under this scheme, housesellers require an entry fee (like $20 or $100) to enter the contest. Since writing an essay is based on skill, technically this scheme does not constitute gambling. However, I think it's a gamble any way you look at it. The houseseller is gambling that they will generate enough interest and contest entries to cover the cost of the home, and the entrant is gambling that the whole thing isn't a scam to begin with.

Tel: 81 3 3573 7787
Metro: Ginza
Concierge.com's insider take:
One visit to this tiny jewel—with nine counter seats, no tables, and a kitchen the size of an airplane galley—in the heart of Ginza will forever wean you off clever sushi concoctions and remind you what the best sushi is really about: the freshest, choicest fish available. There are no menu and no price list. While you shouldn't hesitate to let chef Fumio Sato know your likes and dislikes (and your spending limit), you'd be wise to leave yourself in his very experienced hands. He's been in the sushi biz for more than a quarter century, and he personally goes to the fish market before dawn each morning to pick out the day's offerings, which might include tuna from the Indian Ocean, abalone from California, and sea urchins from Maine. Be sure to order his miso soup with shijimi baby clams at the end of the meal. The charming, amiable Sato-san is as big a draw as his sushi. Though his English vocabulary is limited, he uses it with great enthusiasm and humor. Pricey but not outrageous (your check will depend on what Sato serves you, what you ask for, what the day's offerings are, and the fluctuating prices of fish). Reservations a must; a day ahead should be fine.
Dinner only.

For those trained in examining the body, pressing on your abdomen can provide significant clues to potential problems.
The external examination with the hands gives doctors information about such important structures as the liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, pancreas, bladder, gallbladder, appendix, abdominal aorta (the major blood vessel from your heart to your legs), and in females, the uterus and ovaries.
When the doctor presses on your abdomen, he or she is feeling to see if any of these are enlarged or tender, making them painful to touch, which could indicate disease.
Doctors use two different techniques to examine your abdomen: palpation and percussion.
A diagnosis is rarely made from only a manual examination of the abdomen, but this procedure can turn up abnormalities, leading to further examination or testing.
Palpation means pushing down to see if the organs can be felt. For example, the aorta that supplies blood to the lower extremities runs directly beneath the navel and should be only an inch wide; if it is wider than that, there could be a problem such as an aneurysm.
The doctor also looks for tenderness, or pain, that you might experience when he or she briefly pushes in and then quickly lifts his or her hands off your stomach (rebound tenderness). Such pain indicates that the peritoneum, or the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity, is inflamed — as often happens when the appendix becomes diseased, the bowel is perforated, or there is peritonitis.
The doctor can often feel whether certain internal organs (such as the liver, spleen, or uterus) are enlarged. The next step is finding the reason for the enlargement — possibly disease, such as infectious mononucleosis or leukemia.
Percussion means tapping the abdomen and listening to the sounds. It's similar to the tapping done by shoppers who know a ripe watermelon sounds different from an unripe one. When a doctor taps just below the rib cage, he or she can hear the sounds made by a normal liver. Similar sounds heard when tapping beyond where the liver should extend could indicate an enlarged liver. Fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites), a result of heart, liver, or kidney disease, can also sometimes be detected by percussion.

We see the FSC-sponsored competition "Going with the Grain" as an opportunity to address a topic we care deeply about as a firm and as dedicated design professionals. Charter Schools are an ever growing presence across the US and they play an increasingly important role in our country's educational system. As a New York City-based firm that focuses on children's facilities, we have witnessed first-hand the complexities and difficulties Charter School start-ups face when trying to secure a safe, nurturing environment for their prospective students. A Charter School's incremental growth as an institution and a community, combined with a five-year charter renewal process, leads schools down an often unpredictable path. Coupled with a volatile real-estate market, it is imperative that Charter Schools be flexible and ready to adapt to any given environment.
There are many steps toward a well-designed educational facility - some large, others small - but we believe each one is integral. The impact furnishing a classroom or other learning environment has on the school community should not be underestimated. "Going with the Grain" is an ideal setting to explore new alternatives in the production and application of educational furniture. Clearly, as we work toward enjoying a more responsible relationship with our environment, it is critical that we educate children in an atmosphere where sustainability is a priority. The specific avenues of exploration encouraged by the competition - flat-pack shipment, easy assembly and disassembly, economical and sustainable mindedness - speak directly to some of the unique challenges Charter School facilities face.
The SHEETSEAT is a smart, versatile piece of children's furniture that gets to the heart of the competition's objective. Capitalizing on the efficiency and precision of CNC technology, the desk is assembled from a single sheet of plywood generating minimal waste. Its sleek profile with repetitive shapes reinforces its design as a neat, compact, all-in-one study module. Its distinctive form of a simple folded plane offers a light, open feeling while at the same time providing structural stability. The SHEETSEAT can be easily and quickly disassembled for shipping or storage in confined spaces. It's also designed with stacking capacity in mind to accommodate additional space requirements and classroom cleaning. The SHEETSEAT is an expression of self-reliance, sustainability and smart design which together serve as a strong foundation in the education of young people.

Saturday's Orangutan Baby Shower includes a gender reveal party.
Posted May 9, 2013. Photo courtesy of Dean Hanson (@abqDean / @ABQJournal).
At 12 days old, the orangutan baby is already out and about with mother Sarah, and BioPark guests can see the pair in their zoo habitat. Mother and baby are healthy and have rejoined the group without difficulty. But one question remains: is this baby a boy or girl?
On Saturday, May 11, at 10 a.m., visitors are invited to an Orangutan Baby Shower. The orangutans will reveal the gender when they open special enrichment filled with treats and blue or pink paper! Guests can enjoy gender-revealing cake (with blue or pink filling), baby name voting, discovery stations, games and door prizes.
Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) are endangered due to deforestation and habitat loss. The ABQ BioPark Zoo participates in a Species Survival Plan (SSP) to promote genetic diversity and sustainable populations through captive breeding. Sarah has been a wonderful mother to several orangutan babies, and has greatly contributed to the success of the SSP. Join us for a Mother's Day celebration as we recognize mothers of all species on Sunday, May 12.
Do you think Sarah's baby is a boy or a girl? Join the conversation on Facebook.

Options traders are targeting Walgreen Company (NYSE:WAG - 34.12) with a vengeance today, especially on the call side of the tape. At last check, the pharmacy concern has already seen roughly 64,000 calls and 36,000 puts change hands, compared to its average intraday volume of fewer than 7,800 calls and 5,300 puts.
Turning first to puts, speculators are scooping up the stock's now at-the-money July 34 put, which has seen nearly 10,400 contracts traded on open interest of fewer than 6,000. Plus, the majority of the puts have crossed at the ask price, suggesting they were bought. By purchasing the puts to open, the buyers are betting on WAG to retreat back beneath the $34 level by the end of the day tomorrow, when July-dated options expire.
Meanwhile, it looks like one trader may be upping the bullish ante on WAG. Specifically, symmetrical blocks of 1,000 contracts changed hands at the same time on the August 31 and August 33 calls. The 31-strike calls crossed for the bid price of $3.86, suggesting they were sold, while the 33-strike calls traded for the ask price of $2.12, implying they were likely bought.
Against this backdrop, the investor could be taking profits on the now in-the-money 31-strike calls, and using some of the funds to purchase the 33-strike calls. If that's the case, the speculator walked away with $1.74 per pair of calls (minus what he originally paid for the August 31 calls), and could make more money as WAG extends its rally beyond the 33 strike.
Elsewhere, the analyst crowd is also waxing optimistic on WAG. Earlier today, S&P Capital IQ raised its price target on the stock to $37 from $33. However, there's plenty of room for more analysts to follow suit. The average 12-month price target on the equity stands at $35.36 -- just a hop, skip, and a jump from WAG's current price. Plus, only nine out of 19 analysts consider WAG a "buy" or better, leaving the door wide open for upgrades.
Technically speaking, the shares of WAG have muscled more than 10% higher today, after the firm settled a long-running pharmacy-network dispute with Express Scripts Holding Company (NASDAQ:ESRX - 58.71). As such, the stock is poised to end the week north of its 50-week moving average for the first time in almost a year. However, the security could run into a familiar speed bump in the $35-$36 neighborhood, which has halted most of WAG's rally attempts since August 2011.
What's more, the July 34 and 35 strikes harbor more than 48,000 open calls combined. This abundance of bullish bets could exacerbate resistance in the region through the end of the week.

The Queen Miramax Films Rated PG-13 Review by: Larry Thomas British director Stephen Frears learned his craft by working diligently in series television for fifteen years, until he hit the art-film trifecta in the mid-1980s. THE HIT, a gangster saga with Terence Stamp; My Beautiful Laundrette, a gay love story that made a star of Daniel Day Lewis; and Prick Up Your Ears, the biography of playwright Joe Orton were major hits with their audiences on both sides of the pond. Since then, he has directed five women to Oscar nominations: Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, Anjelica Huston, Annette Bening and Judi Dench. And if current wisdom prevails, he's about to add a sixth name to that list: Helen Mirren. In The Queen, Mirren not only opens up the personae of Queen Elizabeth, much more than tv news clips can do, but Frears also brings us inside the Royal Family. Steeped in tradition and formality, this is a world rarely glimpsed by outsiders. And while this is a fictional film based on fact, it has a documentary-style feel to it. The film begins with the election of Tony Blair as Prime Minister, which is not particularly pleasing to The Queen. They have their political and personal differences, and the new PM's wife is outspokenly anti-monarchy. The second act opens with the death of Princess Diana, and follows how the Royal Family in general, and Queen Elizabeth in particular, cope - or some would say: ignore... the tragic events that managed to shake the Brits to the core. Diana was loved and revered, and Elizabeth cannot grasp why. Or even what to do about these current events. Other than Helen Mirren, the only familiar face in the cast is James Cromwell as Prince Philip. This versatile American character actor has come a long way from playing Stretch Cunningham on All In The Family, even scoring an Oscar nomination as Farmer Hoggett in the delightful Babe. Welsh actor Michael Sheen is Tony Blair, a role he played previously in a TV movie, which probably didn't hurt his chances for casting here. He's very good as the PM... smooth, snarky, almost too good to be true, at times. But he manages to develop a great deal of understanding for and appreciation of Her Royal Highness. Any scenes dealing with Princess Diana use existing news footage. There is no exploitative recreation of the accident that caused her untimely death. The star of the piece is obviously Helen Mirren, and she's more than up to the challenge of carrying an entire film. From her first important film nearly forty years ago, through the Prime Suspect series of television programs, she is consistently one of the most interesting and compelling actresses around. She portrays Queen Elizabeth as a complex person, not a wax statue that's merely a figurehead. Her Elizabeth exhibits caring, doubt, fear, sadness, and under that generally unfathomable exterior, warmth. There's one particular scene in which Elizabeth, stranded with a disabled vehicle, encounters a 14-point stag in the highlands of Scotland. That one scene, and a brief aftermath later, speaks volumes without a word of dialogue. While The Queen is not necessarily a great film, it's certainly a very satisfying film. Mirren's performance, however, is great.

Out on Tuesday, December 3, is a new original-to-home-video Marvel animated movie, Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United. It runs an hour and 12 minutes and is recommended only for kids, who won't have any expectations beyond seeing superheroes bash on each other.
The whole thing looks cheap. Some scenes are static, with little visible movement, and the character designs appear plastic and artificial. The highlighting on Hulk's muscles is particularly exaggerated, making him look multi-colored. The characters appear layered, as though they're not in the same space as the items or other beings around them. It's kind of amazing, how computers have been used to cut corners so that this cartoon at times looks as bad as something from the 70s.
It's all about the battles, as the Hulk takes on the Abomination and Iron Man battles his own Hulkbuster armor as a product test. Then Zzzax, an energy being, appears to suck down the world's electricity, and the two heroes fight, then team up to bash on some robots. Zzzax takes over Iron Man's inventions and spare suits, providing more non-human characters to beat up.
Plot points are visible from a mile away, another reason I suspect this is aimed solely at the youngsters. They don't have the experience with storytelling to make the cliches and predictability so visible to them. The Hulk voice (Fred Tatasciore) is great, gravelly and powerful, but Tony Stark (Iron Man, voiced by Adrian Pasdar) sounds like a teenager, not a super-smart businessman.
There is a nice sequence late in the film where the two heroes have to help each other out because both are impeded in significant ways. That interaction allows for some character moments beyond punching or zapping things. For the most part, though, it was a chore to get through this animated movie.
As with the theatrical live-action movies, there's a short scene after the credits promoing a Captain America/Iron Man mission. Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United comes with a Blu-ray, a DVD, a digital copy code, a free digital comic offer, and an offer for a free Iron Man MiniMate (if you pay $2.59 shipping). Special features include "Inter-Missions", redialogued old Marvel cartoons making fun of She-Hulk or Iron Man that appear when you pause the movie. More of the same are available from the special features, with three "Marvel Mash-Ups" that total of two minutes. There's also "Marvel Team-Up With Ryan Penagos and Joe Q", 11 1/2 minutes of the two promoting Marvel and talking about past character team-ups. (The studio provided a review copy.)
[…] in conjunction with anime producer Madhouse, will be releasing another original animated movie, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher, on Blu-ray ($26.99 list price) and DVD […]

This is one of those eye shadow that I would wear when I feel very bright and want bright eyes. its very pretty color also pigmented its like a galactic purplish color. packaging is nice metallic silver, pricing a bit pricey but yet then again its urban decay. overall the color is amazing its a really big pop for the eyes.

The word 'dupe' gets tossed around very casually regarding similarities between products, but Fishnet is an even BETTER dupe of MAC's 'Stars 'N' Rockets'! It has exactly the same gorgeous duochrome, a mixture of light pink-purple with a blue iridescence. It has better pigmentation and lasting power - at the end of the day Stars 'N Rockets fades, but Fishnet doesn't. If you're stuck on which eyeshadow to get, go for Fishnet. Beautiful purple shades like this really make brown eyes pop!
Age: 18 & Under

I got this color in the "Fun" palette. IT. IS. SO. FREAKING. GORGEOUS!
It's a light purple-lilac, that's almost iridescent and very light and buttery-feeling! I wore it in a subtle purple smoky eye using "Freakshow" in the crease, and it made my brown eyes really pop!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Fishnet is a bright fuchsia eyeshadow. It's very pigmented, but when first applied, it goes on a little more sheer than it looks in the pan, but this shadow is very buildable. This shadow applies as smooth as butter, and it has a nice shimmer to it without big pieces of glitter. Bright purple-pinks can be hard to wear without looking sick or washed out, but this shade has the right amount of blue undertones to make it pretty wearable.
A super-bright fuchsia is not a shade that most people would wear everyday, so I don't end up reaching for this too often. But when I am in the mood for a bright, fun look, this looks really nice with darker, frosty/shimmery purples. I also use it to add some color to a smokey eye. Today I wore this alone as a liner and it looked great. I applied it dry with an angled brush, and it didn't create a powdery mess like some shadows do when you apply them as a liner. It's been 6 hours since I applied it and it's still holding up well. It's faded slightly to a more frosty finish, but it still looks great.
I would recommend to those who want a bright, unique shade in their collection.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
Very pretty colour, flattering on cool skin tones and pigmented without being OTT. Still, it's more of a night look than a day one. Nice combined with Grifter or Psychedelic Sister. No fallout, and I love the deluxe shadow packaging- it feels solid and secure (although, as usual, the mirror is pointless- but even NARS insists on adding pointless mirrors, so). Soft, blendable and lovely. The downside is the price, though I got mine from someone else so I didn't have that to worry about. I'd repurchase if it was on sale or used, but probably not at full price because it's not my favourite colour.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is such a fun color but not for everyday. I usually pair it with MAC's Shadowy Lady. The color can be intense or sheer depending on the brush used. I've also lightly dusted this as a blush and it shows pink/lavender on my cheeks.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I am in love with all of the shadows included in the Deluxe Palette, but this one shines above all of them. I can use it with bright colors to create a really bold look, or pair it with neutrals to supply a subtle pop or color to add interest to a look for the day. I would buy again in a heartbeat, as I use it almost every single day. LOVE IT.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Fishnet is a stunning pinkish-purple with blue undertones. I don't know if I could pull this off alone with my blonde hair and fair complexion. My favorite way to wear it is with UD's Deluxe Eyeshadow in Scratch as a wash and Fishnet in the crease. It makes for a beautiful hot pink eye for the night or weekend. I'm so devoted to Urban Decay...all of their eyeshadows are top quality and so worth the price. I always apply UDPP and my shadow stays looking fresh and crease free ALL day long. I got this in my Deluxe palette and the only reason I wouldn't buy the full size is because I simply don't reach for it that often and I think money would be better spent for something that's more versatile and "everyday".
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I got this in my Deluxe Shadow Box and its an amazing pink! I have nothing remotely like this in my collection and I wear it a lot with night time looks and on the weekend. Not so much a colour I'd wear to work but I still love it! I often find pinks too harsh on me and this is very wearable (especially for my NC25 skintone). I love wearing UD's Ransom on my lid and Fishnet in my crease for a glowy pink and purple eyeshadow look. Blends really well and like all Urban Decay eyeshadows has really awesome staying power (with the primer potion). If I ever run out (which I am not sure I will) I will probably get another one because its just such a unique wearable pink and I would recommend this if you are thinking about purchasing it!!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
Got this in my deluxe palette a few years ago and now it is pretty much completely gone. It's a relatively sheer pink with a purple sheen but with a pink base it shows up great and it doesn't take too much to get a bold color without it. The only reason why I probably wouldn't repurchase it is because so many companies have a cheaper dupe to this product. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I would have never bought this by itself!

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)REVEALED: Moammar Khadafi's 'rape rooms' where both teenage boys and girls were assaulted
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 27th, 2014 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) His reign of terror may have ended in October of 2011, when Libya's much-despised leader, Colonel Moammar Khadafy was killed after 42 years of his brutal dictatorship of that North African nation. His warped legacy, however, will live on in the lives of countless men and women who served as his "sex slaves." Horrific new photographic evidence and testimony has since been revealed about the colonel's perverse "extracurricular" activities . LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Hauled out of a drainpipe and shot, Khadafi's death ended the bloody NATO-led civil war that had ravaged the country since the start of that year.[media id="844"] His heritage will long be felt in the hundreds, possibly thousands of teenage girls who were beaten, raped and forced to become his sex slaves. This beautiful visor clip can be purchased here -- Many of the young women were virgins kidnapped from schools and universities and kept prisoner for years in a specially designed secret sex lair hidden within Tripoli University or under his many palaces. In the two-years-plus he has been deposed, the gaudy interior of his "rape rooms" where the colonel brutalized his victims can be seen for the first time in a hard-hitting BBC4 documentary. A nondescript single-storey complex, girls were forced to watch pornography to "educate" them for their degrading treatment at the hands of Khadafy. Those who did manage to escape were often shunned by their deeply religious Muslim families who believed their family honor had been tainted. [media id="845"] The hastily convened transitional government after the dictator's death moved swiftly to seal off the sex dungeon, fearing the full extent of Khadafi's debased and lewd lifestyle would horrify the Western world and cause deep embarrassment to Libya. Even more chilling is the clinical gynecological suite in an adjoining room, where two beds fitted with stirrups behind a table laden with surgical instruments examined Khadafi's young victims to ensure they had no sexually transmittable diseases. Victims were forced to undergo abortions if they became pregnant. [media id="846"] Khadafi's would regularly tour schools and universities where female students were invited to his lectures. Speaking before his hushed audience, he would scan the room seeking out attractive girls. Before leaving he would pat those he had "selected" on the head. His bodyguards would then round up those chosen and kidnap them. If their families tried to keep them from Khadafi's clutches, they were gunned down. "Some were only 14," one horrified teacher said. "They would simply take the girl they wanted. They had no conscience, no morals, not an iota of mercy even though she was a mere child." [media id="847"] Even more heinous were the teams of boys sent to Khadafi's sex den, where they too were abused. Former chief of protocol Nuri Al Mismari, who was at Khadafi's side for 40 years, adds: "He was terribly sexually deviant. Young boys and so on. He had his own boys. They used to be called the "services group". All of them were boys and bodyguards . a harem for his pleasure." Pope Francis calls for your 'prayer and action'...

Alpha Ventus offshore project: First AREVA turbine installed – one small step toward a great leap forward
First offshore AREVA Multibrid M5000 installed in the north sea – Finalized on Tuesday 14th July 2009.
The first AREVA 5 MW turbine has been installed 45 kilometers off the island of Borkum in Alpha Ventus, the first German offshore wind park.
After the successful installation of the six foundation structures between April 17 and June 1, the installation team sailed out with the first two tower sections on June 14. Installation was completed on July 3.
The last tower section, the nacelle and the rotor were then loaded onto a new barge, "JB 114", on Sunday July 12 and reached the Alpha Ventus site early on Monday morning.
It took nearly a day to position and to jack up the barge. The team then proceeded to install the last tower section. The nacelle was lifted into position at 6 am on Tuesday July 14.
Rotor installation began at 4pm and by 10 pm the very first turbine was in place. Turbine erection was carried out in accordance with the design standard for offshore wind turbines of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrography Office. Preparation for commissioning has also been completed.
The first two tower sections – S2 (94 t) and S3 (180 t) – of the other five turbines were also installed between June 14 and July 3.
Project Manager Michael Klingele said: "We are very optimistic and well prepared for installation of the next five turbines". – Congratulations to the installation team for this fantastic achievement!

He was seated next to me at the Dom Perignon sit-down dinner, which was being held at the magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace at Jodhpur. I complimented him on his speech a few moments ago over cocktails hosted by the Maharaja of Jodhpur, "Baapji" as he is fondly referred to.
"Your speech was heartfelt and I am sure not many absorbed it," I laughed, not saying it to offend any but there was the intoxicating Dom being served and the clanking of the flutes. Jitish Kallat laughed. We spoke about the screening of his work just before the dinner.
"It was like a trip to the science museum," was the general consensus.
He laughed again. "I want them to have a degree of intrigue and a sense of confusion when they see the work." Why, I wondered. "It was actually an immersive video titled Forensic Trail of the Grand Banquet, a journey through an endless cosmic field where all the planetary clusters and stellar formations are made of x-rays, vadas, idlis etc.," he explained.
"Amazing," I said while shaking my head in disbelief.
While we ate caviar paani puri for starters and seabass for our main course on two long beautifully set tables, my conversation with Jitish became more riveting.
Overhead were two large screens of the roti in different shapes, almost like the moon that assumes different proportions over the course of the month, I thought."The piece on the rotis is called the 'Breath', cutting and pasting a line of work.
Each of the seven rotis goes through an evolutionary cycle of manifesting from nowhere, slowly evolving into fullness and through a cycle of consumption before they return to emptiness. The roti is morphed with the image of the moon and yet the progression of the roti makes its restless surface evoke skin and body inflating and deflating, expanding and reducing. So I was right about the moon,I thought."
Whether it was the bursting of the pink champagne against my palate or gazing at the image of the rotis, we talked about thoughts. "Do you think thoughts are borne out of deeper silence, and joy and sorrow?" I asked the artist who at the moment has solo shows at the Ian Potter Museum in Melbourne followed by KunstForum Vienna, Haunch of Venison London and the National Gallery of Indonesia for his point of view.
"Most thoughts are shallow and repetitive; silence is the space where they gain a deeper meaning." Just like a pause between words saving language from becoming a medley of unending sounds.
He continued, "Joy and sorrow are like fleeting shade and light on an object, the light nor the shade is the object." Jitish was intense in his ideas and the manifestation of his works comes with real thought laced also with practicality, as he explained his current project to me. He showed me the image of what he was planning to do.
The blue 66-ft long sculpture with directions and destinations with arrows on them came from deeper thoughts of where we come from and where we are headed. And from a practical point that it lay on a road where people will have only seconds to absorb it. Through thoughts and expansion of perceptions, our conversation delved into the direction of emotions and incidents in our lives that are unforgettable.
As I reflected on my meeting with the artist, I couldn't help but agree that we are what we think.
This jewellery designer provides a ringside view into the complex lives and challenges of achievers.
