Showcase film
Our current showcase film covers much of what I enjoy about the power of the moving image. It's a portrait and the fabulous location draws me in. There is a legacy to this artist's story, history and method to how he works and what drives him forth. It's a gentle film, perhaps quite melancholic in structure, but it's perfectly Johannes. I'm also very proud of this film, for it gained approval from a board of prestigious industry judges and enthusiasts to win bronze at a London digital film festival in Leicester Square. Not quite an Emmy perhaps, but a lot more useful than my scouting badges for excellence in rope play.

Sundiata is an important figure in the history of Mali. The son of a hunchback princess, so ugly as to be called the Buffalo, Sogolon, and Maghan the Handsome, Sundiata was prophesied by the African Traditional magicians to be the one who would unite the twelve kingdoms of Mali. Historically, he did accomplish this, and by incorporating Islam and African Traditions into his state, create a powerful African Empire.
In Crusader Kings 2 we find Mali a Kingdom, not an Empire, but it's fair enough. The duke-level titles can probably be considered kingdoms, but for ease of understanding I will be using the terminology used by Crusader Kings 2 in this regard. Furthermore they have Anglicized his name as Maridjata, which we will be using from hereon.
This is a game of Crusader Kings 2 using the Sword of Islam expansion and beginning with version 1.06. The start date is January 1st, 1209, the first date after which Sundiata's father has been killed. This AAR is intended to read mostly as a historybook after this first post. It was begun with the intention of participating in the Sword of Islam AAR competition.
Historically, Mari-Djata fled to the kingdom of Memel in his youth to escape persecution when his father died. Years later he was invited back to invade Ghana, then ruled by the evil sorcerer Suomaoro Kante, whom he defeats, and unites a number of the Mali kingdoms to defeat the remainder.
Our story will go somewhat different, with young Mari-Djata at 2 years old ruling over the two southwestern-most counties of the Emirate of Timbuktu. With a group of (hopefully) loyal councillors, Mari-Djata's entire childhood shall be dominated by his education as a statesman, and the eventual rise to power of him and his descendants. Here is that council now:
Mari-Djata's power is quite significant within the realm of his liege, Suomaoro, but it will be a long time before our boy is able to defeat his enemies.
Mari-Djata's mother was a grotesque creature, and was impregnated by Maghan Kon Fatta on the orders of his holy man who told him that the child of this union would unite the kingdoms of Mali into a great Empire.
Mari-Djata's mother Sogolo, and the diplomatic map.
Perhaps as a result of his strange parentage, Maridjata had a deformed foot and leg, and walked only with the help of an iron staff given to him a later date than this. At two years old, it's not yet become such a concern.
Mari-Djata, and a religious map, showing that African Traditional religions are still a major part of society down here in Mali.
And, for those who are curious about the start-date, here is Southwestern Europe and the Maghreb:
I am most familiar with Sundiata through D. T. Niane's French version which was copied from West African griots, translated again into English by G.D. Pickett. From oral tradition, to written form, and now to AAR, I feel I am really contributing to world literature with this undertaking.

Behind The Green Monster Blog
Bentley asks winners of the Break Into The Biz of Baseball internship who intern with the Red Sox to contribute to the Behind the Green Monster Blog. Selected blog posts can be seen here.
William Keough
William Keough, a Boston College High School student from Hingham, Mass., spent a month as an intern with the Boston Red Sox, courtesy of Bentley University in Waltham, Mass and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.com).
The Boston Red Sox are arguably the most successful sports franchise of this century. The success of a sports franchise is almost exclusively credited to the players of the field. As long as I can remember when someone would say Red Sox I would think of a player – Roger Clemens, Mo Vaughn, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz. The Boston Red Sox are a successful baseball team not because of the 25 men on the active roster, but because of all the people who work behind the scenes to ensure the franchise thrives and remains profitable for years to come. I have spent the last two weeks working with those people – the people who sell sponsorships, manage events, and ultimately provide the revenue to field a competitive baseball team.
Over the last two weeks I have gained both experience and knowledge in a variety of areas. I have been working primarily with Fenway Sports Group (FSG) which, in its own words, is "an innovative, sports-oriented sales and marketing organization that offers clients the tools necessary to resolve marketing integration challenges, drive brand awareness and deliver results." FSG is in essence the sales and marketing arm of the Boston Red Sox. Although FSG is most closely associated with the Red Sox, hence the office on Yawkey Way and the same parent company, the company works with various franchises, ranging from Boston College athletics to Roush Fenway Racing. With FSG I have completed a significant amount of research on potential sponsors and new sponsorship ideas. But I certainly haven't just sat at a computer every day.
FSG also runs the "Red Sox Destinations" program. The Red Sox Destinations program organizes trips to see the Boston Red Sox either in different cities or for out-of-state Sox fans to come see them in Boston. The trips typically include tickets, and a reception with a Red Sox player. The most recent trip the Destinations crew organized was to Cooperstown, N.Y., for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The Red Sox' own Jim Rice was inducted last weekend, and thanks to Red Sox Destinations, hundreds of Jim Rice fans were able to attend. When the travelers returned this Tuesday, they had a reception with Jim Rice in the EMC Club at Fenway Park. I helped out with that event and got to personally congratulate Jim on his accomplishment. Following the reception we brought the travelers down to the field to watch batting practice from behind home plate. It was quite an experience. I was also able to speak briefly with Don Orsillo and Tom Caron of NESN while down at the field.
Wednesday was the Red Sox quarterly meeting. All Red Sox and FSG employees were asked to attend. The meeting was held in the EMC Club and was hosted by Larry Lucchino. At the meeting there was discussion of future plans for Fenway, record-breaking ticket sales, and of course the trade deadline. All of this was accompanied by my favorite part of the afternoon – a free lunch.
As I sit here on deadline day at 1:37 p.m., the Red Sox seem to be positioning themselves for a big deal. The popular names on the Red Sox radar include Roy Halladay, Adrian Gonzalez and Victor Martinez. Although this day is almost always centered on trades, significant news about David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez broke yesterday around noon. The fact that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez both tested positive for performance- enhancing drugs in 2003 is both embarrassing and devastating. It will be interesting to see how the next few days here play out.
This internship has already provided me with connections I feel can make a difference in the future, and valuable business knowledge. I strongly recommend that everyone enter this contest. The reward isn't money or fame, it's the opportunity of a lifetime to work for one of the most successful franchises in the country. The prize cannot be spent away or wasted. It is an experience that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
I guess I knew this day would come eventually, but I never thought it would come so quickly. It is now the last day of my one-month internship with the Boston Red Sox.
Since my last blog entry a lot has changed here in Red Sox Nation – the most obvious changes being the acquisition of catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez and the team's precipitous fall from the top of the American League East standings. Although times are tough for the team on the field, business is swirling in the Red Sox offices. The Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon is taking place in just a few short days, and Deutsche Bank Championship preparation is in full swing.
I have been working primarily on sponsorship proposals for potential customers, and of course watching as much batting practice from the field and attending as many games as is humanly possible. I have been brainstorming for ideas for events, promotions, and new sponsorship opportunities and have been working on formal proposals using Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Photoshop Elements. With all the time and effort I have put into these proposals, they are starting to look like the real deal. It is truly amazing how much one can learn in a short period of time when immersed in a real business setting.
The knowledge I have garnered over the last month has significantly surpassed the knowledge I could learn in a classroom. This great opportunity has given me a step ahead of my soon-to-be classmates in college and an unparalleled motivation to become an intelligent, aggressive, and successful businessman.
I would like to thank everyone at Bentley University for this incredible opportunity. Everything was so well managed on their part, from the process to name a winner to the media coverage of my opportunity in the Boston Herald and Boston Globe, and my home paper , the Hingham Journal. Thanks to the Bentley University Office of Public and Media Relations, I am even going to write a column about my experience in the Journal.
Anyone who is even considering entering this contest should do so. A 100-word essay will not take all day. Enter this contest regardless of your doubts. I remember as I filled out my essay thinking "There is absolutely no way I am going to win this." You cannot pass up this chance, because the reward is second to none.
Jeremy Adler
The 15-year-old student at Sharon High School in Sharon, MA, is spending a month as an intern in the Boston Red Sox' front office, courtesy of Bentley College in Waltham, Mass and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.com).
As an ultimate, die-hard Red Sox fan, it is my dream to someday work in the business of baseball, and for one month this summer, I get to live the dream. Early in March, Bentley College officials told me that I was the winner of the annual "Break into the Biz" contest. The Grand Prize: A one-month internship with the Boston Red Sox!
My first ten days have been hectic, exciting, and a lot of fun. The first thing I received was a pass with my picture, giving me access to the entire park! I have worked with Fenway Sports Group (FSG), a sports-oriented, sales and marketing organization that works very closely with the Red Sox, MLB.com, Boston College, and NESN, among other companies. With FSG, I have done research on Digital Marketing and have tried to contact Digital Marketing firms that FSG may use in the future. Also, I worked with the Red Sox Foundation. The Foundation's primary focus is in serving the health, education, recreation, and social service needs of children and families in need across New England. They had an event July 26th, called "The Monster Mash," and I assisted in the preparation of the event.
In addition, I have done some work with the Corporate Partnership Department. All of the needs of the Boston Red Sox corporate partners are taken care of in this department, including the procuring of tickets to a game, or facilitating tours of Fenway Park for them. In the Corporate Partnership Department, I helped file receipts and organize the tickets that were sold. One day, I got to help out the Red Sox Fan Service department. All of the fan mail written to the Red Sox goes to the Fan Service's department. When I worked there, I read some of the fan mail, and put it in the Red Sox database, so the Red Sox organization has a record of all the mail they receive.
I assisted with the Red Sox MLB Authentication department a few times too. After games, all of the game used bats, balls, bases, jerseys, and other collectibles, are given to the MLB Authentication department, to be authenticated, proving that the items were actually used in the game, and not fakes bought online. Finally, I worked in the clubhouse one day, and assisted the clubhouse attendants with the setting up of the dugout, bullpen, field, and, I got to hang out with all the players that day, which was amazing! During my first ten days with the Red Sox, I have learned so much, and seen that there is so much more to Major League Baseball then just the game on the field. I have already met many baseball celebrities and hopefully I have made some acquaintances that may help me get a job in the Business of Baseball in the future.
There aren't many days in the baseball season as important as the July 31st non-waiver trade deadline, and this year, I got to spend the day at Fenway Park! The day started slowly, with only the Ken Griffey Jr. trade to the White Sox, and the Arthur Rhodes trade to the Marlins happening. The four o'clock deadline came and went, and everyone in the office, myself included, thought that Manny Ramirez was still a member of the Red Sox. As the minutes progressed, it began to leak that Manny was dealt to the Dodgers, and the Red Sox would be receiving outfielder Jason Bay from Pittsburgh. The announcement of the deal ended what was a long and exciting day.
After the trade, not much of my job changed. There was some public outcry after the deal, but for the most part, the fans agreed with the trade. Inside the office, most agreed that it was time for Manny to go, and were happy to receive Jason Bay, a player that will hopefully be a member of the Red Sox for a long time.
During the week, I have worked a lot with the Red Sox Foundation, helping with the preparation of Futures at Fenway, a day when both the Lowell Spinners (SS A) and Pawtucket Red Sox (AAA) get to play a game at Fenway Park. The event will be taking place August 9th. I also assisted with the Red Sox Scholar program. To become a Red Sox Scholar, you must attend public school in the city of Boston, and you must apply. If you get accepted, you receive get a $10,000 college scholarship, and get invited to Fenway Park for many special events.
One of the highlights of my internship occurred recently, when all the interns working for the Red Sox got to have lunch with the Red Sox President and CEO Larry Lucchino. Mr. Lucchino talked about how he, John Henry, and Tom Werner bought the Red Sox, and what they planned to do once they bought the team. He also answered some of our questions for about an hour. It was very insightful, and truly an honor to spend time with one of the masterminds of the Red Sox recent success.
Fenway Park is hosting the NESN/WEEI Jimmy Fund Radio Telethon on August 14th and 15th, so I have been doing all I can to help with that. This is a great event that helps try to find a cure for cancer, and since 2002, the Jimmy Fund has raised 12 million dollars from this event, and they look to add to the total this year.
My eyes have been opened to how much work needs to be done in order for the Red Sox Organization to run smoothly. It is a lot of hard work, with many moving parts, and it's amazing to experience firsthand. It has been absolutely incredible the first two weeks at Fenway, and I'm sure it will be no different for the last two weeks.
I didn't think it was possible for one month to go by so quickly, yet as I pack up my things, and exit Fenway Park as an employee of the Red Sox for the last time in 2008, I can't help but think how fast this month went.
For the past week, I have done a lot of work in baseball operations, which is great because that is what I want to do when I get older. I have been working with professional scouting, trying to find talented players in Independent League Ball that have Major League potential. I have also been looking up players that are putting up superior numbers in both the Gulf Coast League and Arizona League, and seeing if there are any players that the Red Sox may be interested in trading for. Being able to work inside the same office as some of the most brilliant baseball minds was an incredible experience, and it's something I will never forget.
Earlier in the week, New England Cable News (NECN) came to do a story about my internship. I was glad to help Bentley College and MLB.com receive some exposure about how great this program is, and also it was lot of fun to talk on camera, and tell people what I have been doing during my month long internship. Thanks to Bentley's Margaret Menotti, I also had my name in both the Boston Globe and Boston Herald over the summer!
This past week, there has been a lot of buzz about the upcoming Neil Diamond concert at Fenway Park. Although I will not be attending the concert, it was interesting to see all the preparation that needed to go into the production. It was bizarre to see the centerfield triangle at Fenway overtaken by an enormous stage.
During this internship, I garnered so much information about all different aspects of the business of baseball, and I realized that there's a lot more happening at Fenway Park then the game on the field. This internship also helped me gain a sense of responsibility, by taking the train to Fenway everyday. I have gotten so much out of this experience, and I recommend all high schoolers interested in the business of baseball to apply for this position, because it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and one that you will definitely cherish for the rest of your life. I know for a fact that no matter how long I live, I will never forget the summer of 2008.
Max Koenig
Max Koenig is having a Major League adventure this summer. The 17-year-old student at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH, is spending a month as an intern in the Boston Red Sox' front office, courtesy of Bentley College in Waltham, Mass and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.com). Koenig, will be a senior at Phillips Exeter this fall.
Working for the Red Sox is what every kid who grew up in New England dreams about doing, and for a month this summer I get to live that dream. My first two weeks interning with the Boston Red Sox have been fast paced and extremely enjoyable. It was a bit hectic learning my way around the office at first, and learning everyone's names during the first series after the All-Star break, which just happened to be against the Yankees
For the first 10 days I was working in Corporate Partnerships. Any and all needs of the Boston Red Sox corporate partners are accommodated by this department--from getting tickets for a certain game to a corporate fantasy day where the company gets to play softball on the field at Fenway Park. Another part of this department is Kid Nation, which is the official fan club of the Boston Red Sox for kids 14 and under. During home games I helped sell Kid Nation Memberships in one of the two booths (at Gate E or Gate B). Other highlights of the week (other than being at Fenway Park all day!) included the Papa Jack Hitting Clinic and the final day in Corporate Partnerships where I helped out with fantasy days for Hewlett Packard, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and 99 Restaurants.
After Corporate Partnerships I moved on to intern with Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which is a marketing company owned by the same company who owns NESN and the Boston Red Sox. The most visible part of FSG is called Fanfoto, a professional photo service available to fans during Fenway Park tours and games. If you are ever at Fenway and see people in lime green polo shirts with cameras, those would be Fanfoto photographers, who take great pictures so you can remember your day at the park. For the past few days I have been helping out with any aspect of Fanfoto that I can, which is cool because I get to see another side of the Red Sox organization that most people never get to see.
Needless to say my first two weeks have been awesome. Just being around Fenway is cool, but going behind the scenes and being part of all these activities is even cooler. This is definitely the best summer job a kid could have!
There are not many jobs where, after your 10th straight day of work of at least 8 hours a day, you are still energized enough to roll out of bed and drive an hour to work for that 11th day. Luckily, I happen to have one of those jobs. Maybe it is the fact I am a diehard Sox fan or maybe it is the fact I work at Fenway Park; whatever the reason for it, I don't think there is anything else I could be doing this summer that could be this enjoyable. I don't think it has sunk in yet that I work at 4 Yawkey Way!
This past week I finished up my two weeks at Fenway Sports Group (FSG) and I have now moved on to The Premium Sales Department. All of those fans you see in the suites, the .406 club, or on bar stools on top of the monster next to Fisk's pole were taken care of by Premium Sales. It is the job of this department to sell luxury suites and to provide the perks that make coming to Fenway Park all the more enjoyable for VIP's or businesspeople and their clients. At the moment, the Premium Sales Department is selling the suites for the Rolling Stones concerts coming up on August 21st and 23rd.
Outside of the day-to-day work I have had three interviews with local media, the coolest one coming this past week with Channel 7 (NBC) news in Boston. They did a story on me that ran on the August 4 6:00pm newscast and then on the August 5 noon broadcast. I have also had interviews with the Boston Herald and a local paper at home, The Exeter News Letter. I have enjoyed getting the word out about the internship because hopefully it will help Bentley attract more applicants for next year's contest. If it wasn't for this contest, I would not have had the opportunity to intern with the Red Sox because to do something like this, most of the time you either have to: a) be older than 17 or b) know someone in the business. I have had an amazing time with the Boston Red Sox this summer, everyone has been great to work with and I don't think I could have had a better month.

DPA Microphones Offers A Range of Broadcast Microphone Solutions at IBC 2012
DPA Microphones is highlighting its international reputation for distortion-free sound and ergonomic design at IBC 2012 (Hall 8, Stand D70) by showing a range of high-quality microphones that are ideally suited to broadcast applications.
Among the products on show will be DPAâs expanded d:fine⢠series of headset microphones, which recently won Live Designâs Sound Product of the Year Award, and the new d:facto⢠vocal mic that made its debut earlier this year at Prolight + Sound.
âWith so many television programmes now being delivered in High Definition and 5.1 surround sound, demand for high quality microphones for broadcast use has never been greater,â says Christian Poulsen, DPAâs CEO. âDPA is internationally acclaimed for delivering the pristine sound quality that programme makers and viewers want. Our range includes microphones for a wide variety of broadcast applications and we are confident that, both in terms of sound quality and design, they are the best broadcast microphones on the market today.â
Offering impressive gain before feedback and very stable construction, DPAâs unobtrusive d:fine headset microphones are easy to fit and provide presenters and guests with a discreet microphone solution that canât be seen on the face. The d:fine range is renowned for its audio accuracy and its ability to deliver natural voice intelligibility and consistent audio performance at all SPLs. d:fine capsules are so small that they are virtually invisible, leaving presenters free to focus on their performance, safe in the knowledge that these hand-built microphones will deliver high-quality, distortion-free sound.
d:fine is available in both directional and omnidirectional options, in single or dual-ear designs and with long or short booms. Designed to fit comfortably, they adjust to accommodate any ear size and head shape and can be mounted on either the left or right side of the head. Available in black, beige, brown, and lime green, each solution performs spectacularly in either cabled or wireless settings and can accommodate a range of accessories including windscreens, power supplies, and adapters or cables with fixed connectors (MicroDot, 3-pin Lemo, TA4F mini XLR, Mini-jack).
DPA Microphones d:facto⢠hand-held vocal mic bridges the gap between live stage performances and studio recordings. Offering an exceptionally natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and extreme sound level handling, this microphone is ideal for live music broadcasting as it combines a supercardiod pattern with superb definition to give high separation and true sound color on stage. In common with all DPA mics, d:facto features superior gain before feedback, while the inbuilt 3-step pop protection grid effectively removes unwanted noise.
d:facto has already been put through its paces on several TV shows, including Voice of Denmark, a standard format TV show broadcast in several countries. IBC visitors will have the opportunity to win one of these ground-breaking microphones by getting their badge scanned at the DPA stand. One lucky visitor will be chosen at random and the winner will be announced after the show.

Translate this page SANDAG adjusts Environmental Mitigation Program budgetsThursday, October 11th, 2012 Issue 41, Volume 16.
The transfers from the overall fund during July and August increased the budget for the Zwiestra property from $459,000 to $526,000, for the Tabata parcel from $1,077,000 to $1,137,000, for the State Route 76 Benefit budget from $25,321,500 to $25,381,500, and for the Vessels Stallion Crossing project from $6,552,000 to $6,612,000. The Environmental Mitigation Program is part of the TransNet half-cent sales tax Advertisement The mitigation work on the 19.38-acre Zwiestra site involves removal of non-native species and revegetation with native species. The 23.1-acre Tabata property had formerly been farm fields and will be graded before being revegetated. The State Route 76 Benefit project involves earthen dam work. Work on the 162-acre Vessels site will include lowering the ground level to increase groundwater capture and subsequent revegetation. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Debate: As safety questions persist, crude oil transportation modes show differing records
As the national debate over the safety of crude oil transportation continues to swirl, two high-profile North Dakota incidents illustrate the risks associated with moving the commodity.
More than 865,000 gallons of crude oil spewed out of an underground Tesoro pipeline near Tioga last September, causing millions of dollars in damages and requiring cleanup that may take years.

I think all this social media is making us sad. For two reasons: firstly you cannot escape being connected to the world. Have you ever questioned the rise of the 'read' message on iPhones? Everything from iMessage to What's App has an ability to see whether or not your message has been read; it's a way of phone companies encouraging us to be constantly in contact, constantly within reach.
I attempted to put her straight, it seems to no avail. The "f" in "Get the f out of my way" is only introduced by adding "very" or "terribly" to the word "sorry". Hence "I am terribly sorry to bother you" means "I don't give a flying whatever that I have woken you up, interrupted your dinner, gatecrashed your wedding".

Facebook Privacy Settlement Hits Bumps

The new privacy organization would have three directors: Larry Magid, an Internet safety advocate; Chris Hoofnagle, a Berkeley law professor; and Facebook executive Tim Sparapani. Kamber and Rhodes would be on the legal advisory board.
In the privacy groups' letter to the court, EPIC claims the new organization will likely become a "public relations organization for Facebook" and not protect Internet users.
Another privacy organization, the Center for Democracy and Technology, filed a letter with the court this week supporting the settlement.

As a 15(ish) YO I was splitting wood with members of my family. We had a big working party going and we were cutting up a big oak, about 5 feet in diameter. We had to quarter each cut piece by sledge and wedge because they were too heavy and too big to lift onto the splitter.
I was slinging a sledge and my brother was throwing fully split wood into the back of the truck after it came off of the splitter. He shorted one off of the tailgate and it landed right behind my feet. After taking a swing I stood, stepped back to make room for someone else and stumbled over the log on the ground. I started to fall and put one of my hands down on a big cut piece of oak to gain my balance and arrest my fall. Sadly this left me with only one hand on the bottom of the sledge handle and one hand on a big flat hard piece of oak.
Because I had started to fall and caught myself the sledge was moving with me in the same direction. With only one hand on the bottom of the handle there was no way for me to stop it, pure physics at work.
I watched (in slow motion) the sledge swing down like a pendulum and smash my left pinkie and ring fingers flat. Oh the sound it made...splathunk.
They were able to put my ring finger back together pretty well but my pinkie, not so much. It works though, it's just not pretty.
Last edited by atctimmy; November 7th, 2012 at 12:23 PM.
At about the same age as Timmy, I was loading a hydraulic splitter and the guy with me caught his finger between the wedge and the log as it compressed. He instinctively jerked back, and the finger stayed. Very ugly.
Life isn't safe, folks. Falling down stairs is no joy ride, coming to a sudden stop in your car past 30mph will have very bad results, and guns are dangerous. Now if the weather will warm up, I'll be looking forward to a motorcycle ride.

I have one of these, but bought it for the cone, maybe a bike part? The slow vid doesn't show it until 3:00, and doesn't actually use it until after 4:00
My neighbor has one of these, we used it on eight 150 foot Lodgepoles and Cedars a few weeks ago, it spits it out as fast as you can throw it in the truck. we didn't drag out the conveyor belt system for a few truckloads. Working with conifers, the blade squeezes out about a third of the water in the wood while cutting, aiding in faster drying times. Not sure if that happens with oak.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
That is awesome and practical! As the OldVet mentioned, how much safer are axes and sledgehammers and wedges? Much like our firearms it is the operator, not the machine. Love seeing things like this!

I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Wouldn't be too tough to create a guard to isolate the blade (sharpened dually wheel) from hands & arms. I like the ingenuity & resourcefulness. But the pinch-point between the welded I-beam & the rotating blade gives me a strange, uncomfortable Horror Movie feeling.

Vehicles that help move millions of shipping containers around the nation's ports could soon produce less pollution with technology that federal environmental regulators announced today.
The technology is designed for diesel "yard hostlers," the tractors that are the workhorses of seaports, the Environmental Protection Agency said. EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson discussed it at Port Elizabeth, one of the nation's busiest cargo ports.
"EPA and our partners are working together to ensure that America's ports become harbors of clean air," Johnson said. The technology was being tested on a tractor at Port Elizabeth.
The EPA-patented technology captures energy produced when the tractors use their brakes, and stores it by compressing hydraulic fluid. The compressed fluid is then used when the vehicle accelerates
The EPA said the hydraulic hybrid technology should improve fuel efficiency by up to 60 percent, reduce or eliminate emissions during idling, and decrease brake wear.
The announcement is the latest EPA effort to reduce pollution from industrial engines. The toxic chemicals and soot in diesel exhaust contribute to smog and can cause cancer.
In March, the EPA visited Port Elizabeth to propose emission standards for diesel locomotive engines, tugs, barges, ferries and recreational marine engines. If adopted and fully phased in, the rules would reduce particulate pollution from these engines by 90 percent and smog-forming nitrogen oxides by 80 percent, the EPA said.

TCM twirls into the New Year, appropriately enough, with Fred and Ginger in George Stevens' "Swing Time" (1936; airing January 1 @ 6:15 a.m., est.), following it with an irresistible menu of moviewatching - two alert Doris Day comedies that skewer the world of advertising; a lost film directed by Ossie Davis; two late '70s-early '80s titles, one featuring the much-missed Kristy McNichol; a tribute to cinematographer Jack Cardiff (highlighted by his essential work for director Michael Powell); Marilyn, the beginning, middle and end; a mini tribute to Nancy Kwan (sigh!) and, best of all, a few esoteric discoveries.
"Lover Come Back" (1961; Jan. 1 @ 8p.m.) Delbert Mann's Tashlin-like comedy about two advertizing pros going head-to-head to land an account was Doris Day and Rock Hudson's follow-up to their Michael Gordon hit, "Pillow Talk" (1959), which is arguably considered the granddaddy of the modern RomCom. The chemistry that the stars demonstrated in the first film proved to be no fluke as they indulge here in quick ping pong-style repartee and Doris refines her very fine Slow Burn. (Doris' second excursion into advertising, Norman Jewison's "The Thrill of It All," pops up on Turner on Jan. 29.) The film was a reunion not only for Doris and Rock but also for co-stars Jack Kruschen and Edie Adams, who were fresh off Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" (1960). Amusingly, Kruschen and Adams had no scenes together in the Wilder film, and neither do they in Mann's witty take on advertising ethics. BTW, Kruschen won his role in "The Apartment" because the originally cast Lou Jacobi was too busy appearing on Broadway in "The Tenth Man."The week of January 1st
"Lover Come Back" is followed by Richard Thorpe's faux Hudson-Day flick, "That Funny Feeling" (1965) with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin having fun with the same comic deceits that ensnarled Doris and Rock. "Roughly Speaking" (1945; January 2 @ 10 a.m.) Michael Curtiz's still-largely-undiscovered little gem, based on Louise Randall Pierson's decades-spanning, best-selling autobiography, provides Rosalind Russell with one of her earliest and more nuanced feminist roles. Here, she plays a strong woman who happens to be an ordinary woman - a wife and mother devoted to her family. And to her second husband.
What's singular about "Roughly Speaking" is that it is as funny and progressive as it is affecting and heartwarming - and also that it features the inestimable Jack Carson in one of his best - and best-acted - roles of his long, varied and sadly underappreciated career. Here, he plays Russell's second husband, a dreamer who marries a divorced woman with four children. Worth checking out. Worth taping. "Niagara" (1952; January 2 @ 1 a.m.), Once she became a star, Marilyn Monroe played sympathetic roles exclusively, in a quivering manner (check out "The Misfits" on Jan. 28), but early on, she could be bad news for her leading men, as evidenced by Roy Ward Baker's "Don't Bother to Knock" (1952) and especially Henry Hathaway's "Niagara," in which she plays a particularly nasty little number ready to cash in her damanged husband (a very convincing Joseph Cotton) for someone hotter and younger, while casually intruding upon the lives of a nice married couple, disrupting their honeymoon. The inconvenience she causes is something for which marilyn Monroe would become known in real life. Anyway, MM should have played bad more often.
"Blondie of the Follies" (1932; January 3 @ 12:15 p.m.) I've a soft spot for Marion Davies whose reputation was gratuitously tarnished and sadly diminished in "Citizen Kane," by a spiteful, self-important Orson Welles, but in reality, she was a first-rate actress and a beguiling screen presence. Case in point: Edmund Goulding's fabulous "Blondie of the Follies." Her affection for her character here is central to Davies' fully-realized performance and she shares some memorable scenes with Robert Montgomery, James Gleason, Zasu Pitts and, in one marvelous sequence, Jimmy Durante.
"The Red Danube" (1949; January 5 @ 9 a.m.) This was the first of five films that Janet Leigh made for director George Sidney; her last was the awful "Bye Bye Birdie," in which Sidney was so enamored of twitchy ingénue Ann-Margret that he blew up her supporting role, ruining surefire material and throwing Leigh under the bus along the way. But in "Danube," Leigh was the ingénue, convincingly playing a young Russian ballerina who, in 1945 Vienna, is beset by KGB agents and people she may not be able to trust. Sidney took care of his young star by surrounding her with Walter Pidgeon, Ethel Barrymore, Peter Lawford and ...
Angela Lansbury!
The Jack Cardiff tribute kicks off with the documentary "Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff" (Jan 5 @ 8 p.m.), followed by screenings of his earliest work.
"Little Darlings"
(1980; Jan. 7 @ 2 p.m.) Director Ron Maxwell elicited two terrific performances from the preternaturally gifted Kristy McNichol - one in "Little Darlings" and a year later in "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" (1981), in which McNichol and Dennis Quaid are well-matched as sister and brother.
In its time, "Little Darlings" seemed like a minor film featuring a major performance. But time has been good to this film. What seemed prurient in 1980 now seems brave and edgy. The material, set in a summer camp for girls, revolves around two - McNichol and Tatum O'Neal - who engage in a competition to see who can lose her virginity first.
Adding to the shock value is the fact that O'Neal is particularly interested in losing it to Armand Assante. This film could never be made today. Never. Look for a preteen Cynthia Nixon as one of the girls cheering on the battling duo (she plays a flower child named Sunshine), but pay more attention to McNichol. The sequence in which she discusses what "the first time" feels like, confessed to the kid who helped her out (an equally young Matt Dillon), is revelatory because of McNichol's acting. (Oddly enough, this scene was always deleted by network television.) Hard to believe, but McNichol will be 50 in September.
"Deep in My Heart" (1954, Jan. 8 @ 5:45 p.m.) This is a true curiosity - one of MGM's most ambitious and yet least-known musicals from the 1950s. Directed by Stanley Donen and starring José Ferrer, it tells the story of composer Sigmund Romberg, the operetta king, and does so in a sprawling, leisurely way, running a whopping 132 minutes.The week of January 8th
Like "Little Darlings," this is another film that would never get made today - but for clearly different reasons. It is being shown as part of a mini-José Ferrer retrospect, preceded by "I Accuse" (1958), directed the the star, and followed by his Oscar-winning turn in Michael Gordon's "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1950).
"80,000 Suspects" (1963, Jan. 10 @ 3:30 a.m.) Claire Bloom and Bruce Lewis star in this unknown entity about a smallpox epidemic and a disintegrating marriage that plagues one doctor. Val Guest directed it. Ever hear of it? I haven't. It's part of an evening devoted to titles about contagions, including John Struges' "The Satan Bug" (1965, @ midnight), which features a cast of terrific "almost stars" - George Maharis, the divine Anne Francis and Richard Basehart.
"Just You and Me, Kid" (1979, Jan. 10 @ 12:45 p.m.). A delirious example of stunt casting, this Leonard Stern flick went the "Odd Couple" route by pairing George Burns (as an old entertainer, natch) and Brooke Shields (as a runaway). It's negligible. I can barely remember it, except that I interviewed Burns prior to the film's release and he gave me one of his cigars as a souvenir. I still have the cigar. This time in film history was noteworthy for the prevalence of talented young actresses - Shields, the aforementioned McNichol and O'Neal, and Jodie Foster, all of whom had the kind of varied starring-role careers about which older actresses could only fantasize. Shields was particularly effective in Peter Fonda's lost gem, "Wanda Nevada" co-starring Fonda. Nancy Kwan! - A Trilogy (Jan. 11 @ 7 a.m.) The playful Asian actress who broke through in Richard Quine's "The World of Suzie Wong" (1960) and became a genuine Movie Star in Henry Koster's "Flower Drum Song" (1961) is highlighted in three films just as, for some bizarre reason, her career started to recede - Daniel Petrie's "The Main Attraction" (1962), in which co-star Pat Boone finally goes sexy; Philip Leacock's "Tamahine" (1964), a novel play on the "Tammy" films, and Henry Levin's "Honeymoon Hotel" (1964), with The Two Roberts - Goulet and Morse - doing the Hope-Crosby bit.
"Honeymoon Hotel" is followed by the Jack Cardiff-directed Rod Taylor vehicle "The Liquidator" (1966, Jan 11 @ 11:45 a.m.), which is always fun and which actually gets two showings this month (also on Jan. 26). And if you hang around you can get to see two atypical Peter O'Toole films, John Guillermin's "The Day They Robed the Bank of England" (1960, Jan. 11 @ 4:45 p.m.), also starring Aldo Ray, and Gordon Flemyng's "Great Catherine" (1968, Jan. 11@ 6:15 p.m., whose cast of strange bedfellows includes Zero Mostel and Jeanne Moreau. Moving on, it's always nice to encounter Robert Webber in a film and in Freddie Francis' "Hysteria" (1965, Jan 12 @ 8:45 a.m.) he shares the screen with "The Outer Limits'" Anthony Newlands. A quartet of young blondes receive back-to-back showcasing in Alex Segal's "Joy in the Morning" (Yvette Mimieux), Otto Preminger's "Bunny Lake Is Missing" (Carol Lynley), Ralph Nelson's "Once a Thief" (Ann-Margret) and Norman Jewison's "The Cincinnati Kid" (Tuesday Weld and A-M), all from 1965 and all showing on Jan. 12, starting at 12:30 p.m.
Through Cardiff's Eyes. Must-see viewing here. Two films photographed by Jack Cardiff for director Michael Powell - "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1942, Jan. 12 @ 8 p.m.) and "A Matter of Life and Death" (1947). And hanky-panky in New York-set apartments seems to be the theme on Jan. 13, kicking off at 7 a.m., with, aptly enough, Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" (1960) followed by Robert Ellis Miller's "Any Wednesday" (1966), Peter Tewksbury's "Sunday in New York," Michael Gordon's "Boys' Night Out" (1962) and Charles Walter's "The Tender Trap" (1955). The combined cast here includes Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Kim Novak, James Garner, Jane Fonda (twice!), Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, Rod Taylor and Jason Robards Jr.
Harry Belafonte was a sometime actor in the 1950s, but he was involved in some intruging projects, such as the two that Turner will air on Jan. 16 - Ranald MacDougall's "The World, the Flesh and the Devil" (airing at 6 a.m.), in which only Inger Stevens, Rod Steiger and Harry are left alive following a nuclear disaster, and Robert Wise's "Odds Against Tomorrow" (@ 11a.m.), a gritty robbery caper also starring Robert Ryan and Shelley Winters. Both were made in 1959. Positioned in-between is one by Belafonte's colleague, Sidney Poiter - Hubert Cornfield's "Pressure Point" (1962, @ 9:30 a.m.), with a very good Bobby Darin as a racist thug pitted against Poitier's tough-love shrink.The Week of January 15th
"Black Girl" (1972, Jan. 16 @ 11:30 p.m.) In 1966, the great Senegalese director Ousmane Sembene made his first feature-length film, "La Noire de..." - better known in America as "Black Girl" - a powerful social drama about a young African girl demoralized and driven to thoughts of suicide when her job as a maid for a French family relegates her to slave status.
You can't say enough about this film. It's become more precious since Sembene died in June of 2009.
But there was another "Black Girl," one almost as good. Based on the searing play by J.E. Franklin and directed by actor Ossie Davis (his third), this "Black Girl" is a terrificly acted family drama achored by the bravura turns of the wonderful Louise Stubbs, the legendary Claudia MacNeil and Ruby Dee, and the always-underrated Leslie Uggams.
The virutally all-female cast gets a potent shot of testosterone in the form of the imposing, towering Brock Peters.
Franklin's material is touchy stuff, dealing with a racial self-hatred that materializes during the ugly tug-of-war over a young woman's affections and her future. The debuting Peggy Pettit, plays Billie Jean, a teenager whose desire to be a dancer are misunderstood and unappreciated by her family - a clueless mother (Stubbs) and two angry older sisters (Gloria Edwards and Loretta Green, both excellent).
There's a fourth sister, Netta (Uggams), who is adopted, light-skinned and educated - three qualities that make her a pariah and an outsider in this family. Netta's encouragement of Billie Jean's ambitions strips everyone naked as the major characters claw into each other and generally numb Billie Jean. McNeil plays the family matriach, the grandmother; Dee is Uggams' mother, and Peters plays the father of Billie Jean and her two spiteful sisters.
Considering its cast of major African-American players, it's a mystery that "Black Girl" has been lost for more than 30 years now. It has never been telecast - until now! - and it certainly isn't available on home entertainment and never has been.
Thank you, TCM. BTW, "Black Girl" is one of several African-American themed films being screened by Turner on the 16th, in honor of Martin Luther King: Davis' film will be preceded by photographer Gordon Parks' lovely autobiographical film "The Learning Tree" (1969, Jan 16 @ 9:30 p.m.) and following it later in the night is Melvin Van Peebles' very clever "Watermelon Man" (1970, Jan. 17 @ 3;30 a.m.) starring Godfrey Cambridge as a white man who turns black over night and Estelle Parsons as his understandably confused wife.
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1960, Jan. 17 @ 4:15 p.m.). Michael Curtiz's rather painterly take on the familiar saga stars Eddie Hodges (who had just come off playing Winthrop Paroo on Broadway in Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" and opposite Frank Sinatra in Frank Capra's "A Hole in the Head") in the title role and Tony Randall as the so-called King of France.
"Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice?" (1969, Jan. 17 @ 8p.m.) One of host Robert Osborne's picks - and a good one. Ruth Gordon plays her usual quirky self as she tries to invesigate what happened to a friend who died while working for Geraldine Page. La Gordon poses as another willing employee to the entitled La Page. Director Lee H. Katzin, who makes good use of co-star Rosemary Forsythe as the only sane person in the film, takes his cue from Robert Aldrich - "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962) and "Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte" (1964). Coming later would be Curtis Harrington's "What's the Matter with Helen?" (1971).
For the Love of Betsy (Jan. 18 @ 3:15 p.m.) Betsy Drake never had much of a film career, but the two films that she made with then-husband Cary Grant are more than enough for me. Catch Don Hartman's "Every Girl Should Be Married" (1949) back-to-back with Norman Taurog's charming "Room for One More" (1952) and you'll see how Drake's singular British/boyish style was appropriated by Julie Andrews and, in another, later era, by Emma Thompson. In fact, Andrews isn't so much playing Marie Von Trapp in Robert Wise's "The Sound of Music" (1965) as she's aping Betsy Drake.
Lansbury Night (Jan. 18, starting at 8 p.m.) If you have only one night to spend watching Angela Lansbury movies, this is the one. It kicks off with George Roy Hill's "The World of Henry Orient" (1964), followed by John Frankenheimer's "The Manchurian Candidate" and "All Fall Down" (both 1962), Norman Panama's "The Court Jester" (1956) Leslie Norman's "Season of Passion" (1959), an oddity also starring Anne Baxter, John Mills and Ernest Borgnine, and Vincente Minnelli's "The Reluctant Debutante" (1958). Noteworthy: MM undermines and walks off with Laurence Olivier's "The Prince and the Showgirl" (1957, Jan. 19 @ midnight), the basis for the current so-so "My Week with Marilyn"; David Butler directs Jack Carson as himself in "It's a Great Feeling" (1949, Jan. 20 @ 6 a.m.), also starring Doris Day and Dennis Morgan; Andy Griffith inadvertently comments on - and nails - the current GOP race in Elia Kazan's brilliant "A Face in the Crowd" (1957, Jan. 20 @ 3 p.m.); Rod Steiger plays "Al Capone" in Richard Wilson's biopic (1959, Jan. 20 @ 8 p.m.; Sidney Lumet directs Sean Connery in "The Anderson Tapes" (1971, Jan. 20 @ 10 p.m.); Joseph Sargent's one and only original "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (1977; Jan. 20 @ midnight) airs, not to be confused with Tony Scott's "The Taking of Pelham 123" (read in the film by Denzel Washington as "One-Twenty-Three"), and Blake Edwards makes my beloved San Francisco downright spooky in "Experiment in Terror" (1962, Jan 21 @ 3:45 a.m.)
"Island of Lost Souls" (1933, Jan. 22 @10;30 p.m.) Erle C. Kenton helmed this powerful and prescient horror film that painstakingly (and rather gleefully) degrades the human body - and the idea of being human. Charles Laughton, at his creepiest, stars as H.G. Welles' mad Dr. Moreau. Welles' material has been filmed several times, always with great difficulty because of the provocative subject matter. For example: The 1977 Burt Lancaster version, directed by Don Taylor, was heavily censored and cut before its release. Kenton got it right; we'll never know about the Lancaster film, which is ripe for a restoration but is apparently lost. So was this one - until Criterion rescued it and restored it. That's the version that Turner will be airing.The Week of January 22nd
"Caught" (1949; Jan. 23 @ 9:30 p.m.) Max Ophuls' compelling drama with Barbara Bel Geddes as a woman who discovers that her millionaire husband, played by Robert Ryan, is insane. James Mason Ryan co-stars; written by Arthur Laurents. The film is part of an Ophuls night that also includes "The Reckless Moment" (1949), also with Mason; "The Exile" (1947); "Letter form an Unknown Woman" (1948), "La ronde" (1950) and "The Earrings of Madame De..." (1954).
"A Catered Affair" (1956; Jan. 24 @ 11;30 a.m.) Richard Brooks and writers Paddy Chayefsky and Gore Vidal collaborated on the best (read: most bearable) of the wedding-film genre. Good cast: Debbie Reynolds and Rod Taylor as the young couple; Bette Davis and Ernest Borgnine as her parents. Unlike the others, this one has grit and spit. "Sing Out, Louise!" January 25th. Mark it down. The afternoon of that day is something of a wet dream for musical fans. Interconnected here are composer Jule Styne, Ethel Merman and ... Angela Lansbury. The day kicks off with a film that, frankly, I could live without - William Wyler's leaden "Funny Girl" (1968; @ 12:30 p.m.), starring a highly resistible Barbra Streisand. This show was Styne's attempt to recreate the magic of "Gypsy," something impossible. As unimpressive as it was on stage, "Funny Girl" is even more blah on screen, despite all the money and vulgarity in which Columbia drenched the production. Much better is the film that follows it - the one and only Mervyn LeRoy's "Gypsy" (@ 3:15 p.m.), a film that is superior to any of its stage incarnations (and I've seen them all) and in which Rosalind Russell's line-readings are impeccable. Her timing, particularly her comic timing, is peerless. Ethel Merman, the star of the original, and the stars of the assorted revivals - Patti Lupone, Berenadette Peters, Tyne Daley and ... Angela Lansbury - all pale in comparison to this world-class actress in the role.
Merman created the role of Madam Rose (she is never referred to as Mama Rose in the show) and she played essentially the same part in Walter Lang's delirous and deliriously campy "There's No Business Like Show Business," which immediately follows "Gypsy" (@ 6 p.m.).
Lansbury got to create her own great powerhouse musical character - the very sick Mrs. Lovett in the Harold Prince production of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (1982; @ 9 p.m.), directed for video by Terry Hughes.
Alas, Lansbury's original co-star, the towering Len Cariou, was no longer in the show when it was filmed; but George Hearn (pictured here with Lansbury), his replacement, is wonderful nevertheless. Best of all, unlike the Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp, the Sondheim score is intact. Thank heaven that Hughes preserved the original. BTW, both Cariou and Hearn appeared in Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006).
There's more Lansbury on the 25th - John Guillermin's "Death on the Nile" (1978), the best of the Hercule Poirot/Paramount films; Delbert Mann's "Mister Buddwing" (1966)and "Dear Heart" (1964) and Robert Stevens' "In the Cool of the Day" (1963).
Paul Newman Double-Bill. On Jan. 26, starting at 4 p.m., Turner airs two with Newman - Martin Ritt's "The Outrage" (1964), an American remake of the Kurosawa film, "Rashomon," and Jack Smight's "Harper" (1966), with a collection of sublime actresses - Janet Leigh, Lauren Bacall, Pamela Tiffin, Shelley Winters and Julie Harris. More Cardiff. The films directed by cinematographer Jack Cardiff continues on Jan. 26 with five films, starting at 8 p.m. with "Intent to Kill" (1958) starring Richard Todd and - ah! - Betsy Drake, "The Lion" (1962), with William Holden and Capucine, and three with Rod Taylor, "Young Cassidy" (1965), a biopic of Sean O'Casey in which Cardiff took over for an ailing John Ford, "The Liquidator" again and "Dark of the Sun" (1968). Cardiff must have liked Taylor.
Creepy Art. Stay up late (or get up early) on Jan. 28 and experience the raw and brutal force of Andrzej Zulawski's "Possession" (1981) with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, followed by Roman Polanski's classic "Repulsion" (1965) with Catherine Deneuve. This late-night festive of the unsettling kicks off at 2 a.m. "The Misfits" (Jan. 28 @ 8 p.m.) Arthur Miller's heartfelt tribute to his then-wife Marilyn Monroe, directed by John Huston, now reads like a death knell. Her attempt to save innocent wild mustangs from being trapped by moneygrubbers vividly captures what she experienced while trapped inside the ruthless movie industry. The innocent rarely prevail.
They die.
"Soylent Green" (1973; Jan. 28 @ midnight) Richard Fleischer's delightfully drole take on cannibalism, underlined when star Charlton Heston intones the now-classic line, "Soylent Green is people!"
"The Thrill of It All" (1963; Jan. 29 @ 2 p.m.) Doris Day's crowning achievement came in this alert Norman Jewison-Carl Reiner farce in which Doris plays Beverly Boyer, an average housewife (married to a doctor, natch) who is called upon to hawk Happy Soap in a series of misleading TV commericials. Rock may have pushed the envelope with the fictitious product VIP in the aforementioned "Lover Come Back" but Doris makes the disreputable advertising madhouse surrounding Happy Soap downright therapeutic as only she could.The Week of January 29th
"Man's Favorite Sport?" (1964; Jan. 29 @ 4 p.m.) Immediately following is Howard Hawks' pop-culture take on a sportsman who knows nothing about any kind of physical activity but is finessed into entering a fishing contest. Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss star. Hawks understood, as few other filmmakers have, how men lie to themselves so often that they actually come to believe in their fantasies.
Jack Webb, early auteur. The macho mastermind behind "Dragnet" directs and stars in films about two intimidating creatures - the drill Marine sergeant ("The D.I.," 1957; Jan. 29 @ 8 p.m.) and the bigtime newspaper editor ("-30-," 1959; Jan. 29 @ 10 p.m.).
"The Vanishing" (1988; Jan. 30 @ 2 a.m.) George Sluzier's original Dutch version of the unnerving story of a woman who disappears at a rest stop during a car trip. Totally creepy.
"The Las Vegas Story" (1952; Jan. 30 @ 6 a.m.) What's not to like? Jane Russell, Victor Mature and Vegas. An immediate guilty pleasure. Directed by Robert Stevenson.
"The Rain People" (1969, Feb. 1 @ 4 a.m.)This one was way ahead of its time in '69 - the story of a runaway housewife, motivated more by her neuroses than by anything resembling real problems. It's a strong feminist saga directed by a man - Francis Ford Coppola, who employs expressive flourishes to imply what torments his heroine, played by Shirley Knight (in a role originally written for Elizabeth Hartman). Knight feuls her performance with palpable passion; she's excellent. And James Caan, as the hunky hitchhiker she picks up, plays his role with a sardonic wink. With Robert Duvall as a scary, sexily intimidating cop.

Steve Lubin is stepping down as Walgreens' divisional vice president and general manager of marketing for non-mainland operations. He has been with the chain for 43 years.
Inside This Issue - News
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Steve Lubin is stepping down as Walgreens' divisional vice president and general manager of marketing for non-mainland operations. He has been with the chain for 43 years.
Lubin's retirement is part of a series of executive changes at the retailer, according to sources close to the company.
Lubin played a significant role in the chain's growth in far-flung markets, from Puerto Rico to Alaska and Hawaii. Before being promoted in 2008, he was Walgreens' general manager of marketing for stores in Puerto Rico, where he lived for three years.
"Steve's contributions to Walgreens' success over more than four decades are significant, from the increasing responsibility he held in our merchandising organization to the three years he spent overseeing marketing in Puerto Rico," said divisional vice president of corporate communications Michael Polzin.
"That experience positioned him well to help ensure our successful entries into other non-mainland markets including Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We greatly appreciate the work Steve has done for us in these markets and throughout his career, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Lubin joined the company as a stockman in a store on the North Side of Chicago in 1970 while still in college. He worked his way up to assistant store manager before managing a handful of units in the area. Starting in 1980 at the home office he held a variety of positions, mostly in purchasing and merchandising.
His early years with the retailer helped shape his lifelong approach to the business.
"My store experience was invaluable," he said in 2010. "If you understand what it takes to run a store then you have a much better idea of what is required from people at every level to take care of the customers."
