Luise Rainer dies at age 104: Rainer was first consecutive Oscar winner, first two-time winner in acting categories and oldest surviving winner (photo: MGM star Luise Rainer in the mid-'30s.) The first consecutive Academy Award winner, the first two-time winner in the acting categories, and, at age 104, the oldest surviving Oscar winner as well, Luise Rainer (Best Actress for The Great Ziegfeld, 1936, and The Good Earth, 1937) died at her London apartment on December 30 -- nearly two weeks before her 105th birthday. Below is an article originally posted in January 2014, at the time Rainer turned 104. I'll be sharing more Luise Rainer news later on Tuesday.

A big screen version of the hit stage musical Wicked has been talked about for a number of years now. Stephen Daldry (The Reader, Billy Elliot) has been linked to direct but as yet no other information has been confirmed by Universal; however we may be seeing the movie adaptation a lot sooner than we first anticipated.
FilmDivider are claiming that one of their sources witnessed the Screen Film Summit presentation by Vue Cinemas CEO Tim Richards and during the slide-show Wicked was being hailed as a highlight of the 2016 release calendar.
If this is indeed the case then we should be getting some official clarification from Universal very soon as casting and production would be due to begin early next year.
Wicked is a 2003 Broadway musical – and later hit the West End – based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire, which is itself an alternate adaptation of L. Frank Baum »

Nope it's not Kansas. It ain't Oz either. Instead it's La's trendy Echo Park neighborhood that plays home for this brand new music video for the band Maxie Dean's hit song Tornado. The world premiere of this stylized vid comes to us courtesy of director Todd Berger who you may know as member of the comedy troupe The Vacationeers and director of the 2013 apocalyptic laugher It's A Disaster. Here's what Mr. Berger had to say about his inspiration: We all know that L Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz was a satire of the 1890's Us economy with the Yellow Brick Road representing the reliance on the gold standard, The Scarecrow representing the plight of the American farmer, the Tin Man representing the...

New Line Cinema has acquired Josh Golden's spec script "Road to Oz" which chronicles the early days of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" author L. Frank Baum.
Baum was a prolific writer who penned that famed book and its thirteen sequels. He also wrote over two dozen other books. The plan is to lock in a director Asap, while the script itself has been nominated for the Nicholls Fellowship award to be announced next month.
Nellie Bellflower, who produced the J.M. Barrie biopic "Finding Neverland," worked with Golden and Michael Mislove on developing the script. Bellflower, Mislove and Beau Flynn will produce the feature.

It's difficult to think of a film that has inspired more urban legends than Victor Fleming's 1939 children's classic The Wizard of Oz. Depending on who you believe, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon syncs perfectly with the action (not true), the production was cursed with a series of horrendous accidents (true), and the Munchkins were all shag-happy party animals (also untrue, but a favourite talk show gag of star Judy Garland). Perhaps the tall tales have something to do with the hellish shoot, which involved five directors and at least 15 writers, or maybe it's because The Wizard of Oz is watched by a lot of stoned people.
What many don't seem to realise is that The Wizard Of Oz is itself a remake. L Frank Baum's original 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz (the first in a series of more than a dozen books) was filmed »

Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is the eighteenth film set in Oz. Or the seventeenth, if you discount 1978's The Wiz, which doesn't exactly take place there, but rather in a fantastical Oz-fitted New York City. Or maybe Dorothy's Return is actually the nineteenth, if you count the 1921 silent film adaptation which never actually made it to movie screens.
The point is, over the last century, filmmakers have been drawn back to L. Frank Baum's magical source novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; there's something fundamentally cinematic about Dorothy, Toto and her colourful troupe of friends skipping down a yellow brick road to an emerald-green city. Here's a brief look at the most successful big-screen adaptations – and a few of the very worst.
The Best The Wizard of Oz (1939)
When you think 'The Wizard of Oz', you think 1939's pop culture-spewing, endlessly iconic The Wizard of Oz. »

Chicago – The so-called "legend of Oz" will cease to be legendary if they keep producing lame re-engineerings of the 1939 classic "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Close on the heels of last year's dud, "Oz the Great and Powerful," comes the dully rendered "Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return."
Rating: 2.5/5.0
The screenplay – by Adam Balsam and Randi Barnes – is strictly boilerplate, with no consideration for creating something different for the Dorothy and Oz story, just an odd updating of the Kansas atmosphere and a rather depressing disaster area in the town after the first tornado. The voice casting of TV actress Lea Michele ("Glee") as Dorothy is a sure sign of a way to lower the budget, and although some of the elements are interesting (the voice of Patrick Stewart as a talking piece of wood), overall the film will work as a glazed-eye babysitter for the kids, while adults »

The order comes after the project recently underwent a rewrite by Josh Friedman. The two will executive produce through Universal Television where Friedman is under a deal. A writers room is slated to get up and running soon but casting may be postponed until after pilot season. Emerald City is described as a modern and dark reimagining of the classic tale of Oz in the vein of Game Of Thrones, drawing upon stories from Baum's original 14 books that include lethal warriors, competing kingdoms, and the infamous wizard as we've never seen him before. A head-strong 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is unwittingly sent on an eye-opening journey that thrusts her into the center of an epic and bloody battle for the control of Oz.

Edward Tilden Career Community Academy High School (also known as Tilden High School and as Tilden Technical High School) is a public 4-year high school located in the Canaryville neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Chicago Public Schools district. The school's sports teams are nicknamed the Blue Devils.
The school traces its origins to 1881. It was originally known as Lake High School, since the school served students in the Township of Lake. That township was annexed to Chicago in 1889, and the school became part of the Chicago Public Schools system. Lake High was rebuilt in 1905,[3] and in 1915, the school was renamed in honor of Edward Tilden, a former banker and president of the Chicago Board of Education. In 1917, the school became an all-boys' technical school, and it remained so until the 1960s, when it became a general, co-educational high school.[4] The current Tilden building was designed by Dwight H. Perkins. The school features over fifty murals of famous engineers, architects, scientists, and writers.[5]
Tilden competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). The boys' wrestling team placed first in the state in the 1945-46 and 1951-52 seasons and were Public League champions in the 1984-85 season.[6]
School violence[edit]
On November 20, 1992, 15-year old freshmen student DeLondyn Lawson was shot to death in a gang-related shooting on the school's second floor shortly after 10 a.m. by another student; 16-year old gang member Joseph White. White wounded two other students in the shooting.[7]
Notable alumni[edit]
- Mose Bashaw, American football player
- Johnny "Red" Kerr, basketball player with the University of Illinois and Syracuse Nationals; later coached the Chicago Bulls and served as a color commentator on the Bulls' television broadcasts[8]
- Ralph Metcalfe, sprinter at Marquette University and four-time Olympic medalist; Chicago alderman and four-term U.S. Congressman
- Johnny Ostrowski, MLB player (Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Washington Senators)
- Bob Ryland, early African American professional tennis player[9]
- Mike Swistowicz, NFL player
- Chico Walker, professional baseball player with the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, California Angels and New York Mets from 1980 through 1993. Walker was a star at Tilden and played on the 1975 Blue Devils team which played for the Chicago Public League Championship at Comiskey Park, but lost to Steinmetz.

Branding campaign pushes consumer awareness to record levels.
The integrated marketing and branding campaign Austin & Williams created for Bethpage has pushed consumer awareness to their highest levels-and ahead of nearly every one of the Long Island credit union's "big bank" competitors-in record time, according to independent research.
While the campaign only launched in March 2010, results of the survey conducted in June in Bethpage's market area showed that the financial institution is "top of mind" with more consumers than ever before - and so is the advertising campaign created by Austin & Williams. In fact:
"The branding initiative created by Austin & Williams has been extremely successful, as demonstrated by our awareness numbers and growth in 2010,"says Gerard Schmitt, Vice President, Marketing at Bethpage Federal Credit Union. "We thank everyone on the A&W team for their hard work and contribution to that success." Since launching the campaign, Bethpage has boosted membership, brought in millions in new CD deposits and exceeded all projections in both consumer auto loans and business lending.
The integrated multi-media initiative focuses on the iconic "Beth and Paige" who demonstrate the knowledgeable, approachable and service focus of Bethpage employees. The dynamic service duo is featured in a series of television spots, which earned the agency an unprecedented seven Telly Awards, as well as all print, radio and outdoor advertising, merchandising and collateral materials.

Deserted Red Squirrels
cookie8June 2, 2011
Yesterday, there was major squawking going on in my garden and there was a baby squirrel clinging to a shrub. He seemed a decent size, big feet and ears but a smallish body he needs to grow into. We have a birdhouse about 8 feet up so I'm guessing he fell out. We put him in a bucket for a bit and then his sibling fell out. Both were put back but I don't think there is a mother there. We put some peanut butter on the entrance and they ate it. Now what? Any suggestions? I use to see the mother scampering up the pole but haven't for days now.

This is my 3rd pair. You wont find a better river sandal out there. Works great for those side hikes and around the boat. Just don't forget to bring the salve on those longer trips, because your feet are going to dry out!
Built to support you and your pack too.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
There are no other sandals I've felt I could hike for days in, with my pack on.
The great arch support and very thick durable soles are made solidly, with just the right slight flex. I've tried them ones without the big toe loop, and this Z2 style is more solid and stable underfoot, especially through running water. The tops are patterned to be grippy when wet and also comfortable, not leaving lines in your feet. Where the chord passes into the sole is tight enough to not let sand in, or even to allow water squeaking.
I recommend males buying one size less than closed toe shoe size.

Great do-everything sandal!

I love these sandals! I use these mainly for floating the river and going cliff-jumping, but they also do very well on hikes. I like having the extra toe-strap. I can use it to really secure the sandal if I am doing something that requires a little more foot control. I can also put my foot over the toe-strap if i am wanting more of a comfortable feel. Great all-around sandal. Chaco sets the standard!

Wide option for women.

- Fit: True to size
I bought some women's keens as a gift, but they were too narrow for her wide foot. There weren't any wide in women's available so I tried mens. She's a size 9 in women's, so I got her the 7 in mens and they fit great! I showed her how to adjust them, by pulling the straps through the sole, and she's in love. She said she wore them all summer.

My go to Shoe!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
If its above 45 degrees out, these are on my feet. I have worn them for everything from backpacking trips on the AT, music festivals, days on the beach, to shopping around town. They go on my feet as soon as I take off the bike, running, or kayaking shoes. (Sometimes even ski boots if its not bitter cold!)If you want a pair of sandals, these are them. Yes sometimes they take some getting used to, but trust me they are worth it.
They are easily adjustable by just pulling on the webbing one way or the other and once you get them adjusted to your feet, they fit great. Sometimes the webbing gets stuck but just get them wet and it will loosen things up!
Also they last forever. I have own a pair of these that are at least 7 or 8 years old and they are still in great condition. I just upgraded to a new pair only because I won them in a contest. They old ones are still kicking. I will add, that the Z/2 is the way to go. Yes it may feel weird at first to have your big toe surrounded by a strap but they stay in place and make long mile days a lot better.
Everyone of my paddling, hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing friends own and wear their Chacos religiously. If you want to fit in the outdoor world, you better own a pair of Chacos!
I will add that I do not recommend these as a go to shoe for whitewater kayaking. A lot of people starting off show up in these. Yes they work great for hikes along the river or other water based sports but for whitewater, get a close toed shoe that has a sole specifically made for walking on wet rocks and that will protect your foot when moving around on rough banks. I like anything from Astral or the Five-Ten Water Tennie. DO NOT where Chacos in your boat if you plan on doing any whitewater kayaking other then playboating at the local play hole or running less then class 3 rapids.

Good sandals for hot weather hiking
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These took my feet awhile to get used to, but once I built up a few calluses they became super comfortable. They are great for hot weather and anywhere with a lot of water crossings.
I usually wear a 9.5 and I got these in a 9 and they fit perfectly.
Straps will rub your feet raw!
My feet after a couple mile walk in the Z2's. I really wanted to love these, and am a big fan of the comfortable and supportive soles. But no matter how loose you make the toe straps, as you walk they will pull them selves tight until your big toe is being strangled, and after awhile it will rub/burn the skin right off your feet.
shaun Moyes
I had this happen more than once. I gave these more than a fair chance as I have worn them for 3-4 years on rivers, lake Powell, hiking, climbing approaches, camping and so on. Most people love these; but, they just weren't for me. Mine still have tons of life; but, I decided to go back to my roots and just purchased a pair of original Teva's. Can't wait to be able to wear sandals all day without discomfort. Again, most love them and the soles are rad ...they just aren't for all feet and they weren't for mine.

So I get the shoes, right?
They're great, first of all, but it takes me a little while to figure out how I want them to fit and adjust the straps and whatnot. But that's not too important. They look good. They feel good. They look good.
But then I decided to wear them all day every day for a week right after I got them, and I blistered up pretty bad in the spots where the straps rubbed. This was frustrating, but got over it after couple days of just wearing for a few hours at a time.
Super great after that. I wear them pretty much all the time with anything (not advised).
Excellent versatility
Looks great
Easy maintenance
Comfortable (after time)
Takes time to break in
Smells rank after a few days
Constant strap adjustment

I absolutely love my chacos I use them for everything from walking around campus to hitting the trails. I have the shoes in two different colors. These are about the only things that I wear on my feet year round. Yes I said year round, I wear these bad boys with socks. These are extremely durable, the shoes are 100% worth the money!
High five to a fellow Chacos-with-socks wearer!

If you find yourself wondering, "Umm, should I pay that much for a pair of sandals?" Yes, by all means, get the Chacos! These things do it all. Their thick soles allow for use on trails or if you are just taking a walk through the neighborhood. I'm glad I finally talked myself into getting them.
Comfortable?...Oh yeah!
Durable?...You bet!

The official sandal of the ancient Greek god, Hermes.
By far, the best thing I've ever purchased...period. Durability, comfortability, performance driven, and fashion-forward...Chacos are timeless and will always be the cornerstone to anyone's gear closet.
The only issue I have with this gift from the gods is the weight. You start to feel clunky after a long hike, so it probably isn't the best choice for hikes greater than 5-6 miles, depending on your physical prowess. But, there's nothing better than finishing a long day on the trail wearing your light/mid hiking boots and putting on your Chacos to give your feetsies a breather :D
My Chacos

I bought my Chacos at the beginning of this summer. When I first put them on it was as if I had already worn them in to fit my foot, it was perfect! I have been wearing these to the pool, on medium length hikes, and just out and about. If you're looking for a sandal that will fit all your needs, look no further!

Quintessential performance sandal
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
If you are looking for a highly functional extremely comfortable sandal this is it. the Z/2 is the most comfortable footwear that I own. I wear mine all the time. A lot of people are pro toe strap, a lot are anti toe strap, there are arguments to be made either way. I personally am a fan, I feel the toe strap gives me added stability when hiking up. Most times once I reach the summit and am on the way back down I'll tuck the toe strap under my foot to hike down so that it is not digging into the webbing of my foot. The single webbing strap is threaded all the way through the sole so that you can customize to fit your foot. A must have for any outdoor enthusiast.
toe strap blisters
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

love the extra control the toe strap provides, but unfortunately it gave me terrible blisters. returned for the z/1 and it's great!
4 yrs and counting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I've had the same pair of Chaco's for 4 yrs now. They're a well traveled pair of sandals. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product that is always ready for the next adventure. I wear them around town, the house, multiple day backpacking and river trips, and fly fishing.
Can you really call these sandals?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These shoendals can go anywhere and do anything. There is nothing flimsy about these - the vibram soles give you some much stability I have been on some serious hikes in these without even giving it a second thought. If I could wear them to work they would be on my feet everyday.

Namibia, the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa after being struck by the worst drought in 30 years, declared a national emergency earlier this year. The drought has resulted in crop failure and livestock deaths across the tiny country of 2.1 million people. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, or IFRC, has launched an appeal to the international community for help.

Keywords: Namibia, drought, Angola, malnutrition, aid, floods
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Many Namibians are surviving off wild fruits as there is no harvest in sight until March of next year. Maize production is 34 percent below average. Fourteen percent of the Namibian population need immediate food aid.
"A lot of the people I met had nothing in their food stores, absolutely nothing," Hanna Butler of the IFRC said, after her visit of Kunene, one of the worst hit regions in northern Namibia. "People are foraging for wild fruits . Everyone just told me: 'I have nothing. I'm not sure what's going to happen.'"
Windhoek, the nation's capital only received 6.5 inches of rain between October and April, less than half the average for a rainy season. It's the lowest reported figure for rainfall on record since 1981/82.
It will only get worse as Namibia only has only one annual. The next is not due until March 2014. "The situation will rapidly deteriorate," Butler said. "The shock is yet to happen."
Namibians are showing signs of malnutrition and even the wild fruits are growing scarce. The local government reports that eight out of 53 malnourished children admitted to hospitals in Kunene in the first six months of the year have died.
"We often fail to see the tipping point in slow disasters like drought," Alexander Matheou, IFRC representative for southern Africa, said in a statement. "If we fail to act, malnutrition, especially in newborns, will have an irreversible effect on health and brain development, and in some cases, will take the child's life."
Neighboring Angola has also appealed for help to cope with a second year of failed rains. Relief agencies estimate that between 640,000 and one million Angolans have been hit by the drought.
"Both Angola and Namibia are experiencing a slow onset emergency which needs to be addressed urgently before a full disaster unfolds," the ACT Alliance, a coalition of church groups, said in a June 26 appeal.
People are migrating in both directions across the border in search of help. "A lot of people (in northern Namibia) told me that they are heading towards Angola because they can get more money to sell them (their cattle) in Angola if the cattle can make it," Butler said.
At the same time, the Namibia Red Cross is still responding to floods that hit the Caprivi region in March. "It's the two extremes. It is droughts and floods in Namibia. People are dealing with both," Butler said.

Study: Best Diet for Weight Loss
- Category: Diet & Fitness
- Published: 21 February 2015

Eating More Protein and Less Refined Starch Is Critical for Effective Dieting, Major Study Shows.
A large-scale study called "Diogenes" has investigated the optimum dietary composition for preventing and treating obesity.
The results were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers at the Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE), University of Copenhagen.
If you want to lose weight, you should maintain a diet that is high in proteins with more lean meat, low-fat dairy products and beans and fewer refined starch calories such as white bread and white rice. With this type of diet, most people can also eat until they are full without counting calories and without gaining weight. Interestingly, this study also concludes that the official dietary recommendations are not sufficient for preventing obesity.

Do Our Minds Need a Spring Cleaning?
- Category: Path to a Better Life
- Published: 21 February 2015
- Written by Dr. Howard Peiper
By Dr. Howard Peiper -
Spring is in the air and many of us take time out to spring clean our homes, garages, etc to get rid of all the clutter and dirt we have accumulated over the past seasons. But as we go about doing this, have we considered giving our minds a spring clean too, to get rid of any emotional clutter and junk we may have accumulated?
We would be amazed at the kind of "baggage" we pick up over the seasons of our lives. These include esteem and confidence issues, lost identities, unresolved issues (past or present), poor personal boundaries and standards, negative emotions (fear, shame, blame, hatred, anger, resentment, etc.), unmet needs, inner conflicts and much more. And when we factor in the fact that many of us become emotionally battered and bruised through our challenging and/or painful life experiences, it is easy to see how we can end up amassing excessive weight of the emotional kind – consciously or not.
3 Quick Ways to Improve Your Mood in Winter
- Category: You & Your Family's Health
- Published: 30 January 2015
- Written by Families Online Staff
By Liz Madley
Surely everyone gets the winter blues at some point? Especially at this time of year, towards the end of the winter, when spring and summer are just around the corner, but the dark, dull days have worn on to a point where energy is flagging. Will spring ever come?
Well yes – of course summer is on the way- but here are some tips to banish those winter blues and get through the tail end of the cold season.
1. Exercise
You have probably heard this many times, but it does hold true. Getting some of your preferred method of exercise is the fastest way to boost your mood. My chosen weapon against winter blues is ashtanga yoga - the combination of increased heart rate and stretching releases endorphins for feel-good chemicals and stress relief. I like the way I can fit my practice in around my day to day activities, but if you prefer a regular class at the gym, go for it. Even just finding time for a walk in the park can have many benefits. Studies have shown that walking on grass is good for your psychological state and getting some sunlight rather than staying indoors gives you more chance to get vitamin D, which is a key ingredient for fighting depression.
But don't be too hard on yourself – exercise through the week but make sure that you give yourself time off when you are feeling run down. Never use exercise as a punishment and listen to your body.
2. Do Something New
Research has shown that getting out of your comfort zone can improve your mood, because the experience of doing something alien tricks your brain out of routine thought patterns. Recently I took my mother for a day out around Birmingham's historic "back to back" houses, which were built in the 1700s to be homes for thousands of city dwellers, and saved from demolition in the 1960s. Walking through these houses, furnished with the belongings of people from long ago was like going back in a time machine and definitely provided an escape. The National Trust in the UK is fantastic if you like history, but otherwise just have a look in your local area for new wildlife areas, new cuisine restaurants, art exhibitions, extreme sports shows – you might be surprised what you find.
3. Go to Bed Early a Couple of Nights a Week
In general you need about eight hours a night to feel rested, as a requirement for the human body. However, what with work, family and – shockingly! – actually having a good time socialising, it's very easy to stay up late every night. Especially if you have had a long day at work, sometimes you feel like staying up late just to get some time back for yourself. The problem with this is that you can build up a "sleep debt" and being to feel tired all the time, which is a mood-killer. Try to aim for those 8 hours every night when you can – give or take half an hour to an hour – and see how you feel. Allow yourself to go to bed early a couple of nights a week and see how the world is a different place when you wake up.
Here's to a healthy and happy tail-end of winter for everyone!
Important Information About Whooping Cough
- Category: Health
- Published: 25 January 2015
- Written by Families Online Staff
News Release from University of Michigan -
In the current fight against whooping cough resurgence, perhaps the biggest obstacle is an incomplete understanding of its underlying causes, according to a University of Michigan population ecologist.
Though the root causes of the resurgence remain "elusive and contentious," public health officials in many countries—including the United States—have introduced whooping cough booster shots into childhood immunization schedules, Pejman Rohani and a co-author state in a paper scheduled for online publication Jan. 19 in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences.

Workwear is fashion-speak for clothes that look like workers would wear them. Yeah, it's that simple.
We already know scruffy miners, stonemasons, lumberjacks and farmers rock denim, leather, corduroy and canvas. And they wear jeans and work shirts, for sure. But as far as fashionistas are concerned, they also wear aprons, dusty hats, and like to carry wooden buckets. Not so great for the office, unless you're a blacksmith. But take away the aprons and that's pretty much how America dresses.
Levi Strauss & Co. is one of the oldest apparel companies in America, and Ralph Lauren has made a fortune from workwear. And then there's Dickies, Tommy Hilfiger, John Varvatos, The Gap and Old Navy. Workwear is American, through and through.
So you already have the closet. Now here are some styling tips.
Layer jacket, over vest, over shirt, over t shirt. Never enough layers.
Throw out your iron. In fact, mist your clothes with water and crumble them before you put them on.
Wear your bag across your chest, not over your shoulder.
Sandpaper the toes and the heels of your lace-up boots.
Loosely tie a bandana around your neck. Then turn it around.
Now pick up a shovel.
