Foreign films bring world issues to Oscar stage
By Arthur Spiegelman and Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Palestinian filmmaker Hamy
Abu-Assad fell in love with Hollywood on Tuesday when the
Academy Awards made history by nominating a Palestinian film
for an Oscar for the first time.
Abu-Assad's dramatic portrayal of suicide bombers preparing
to die in "Paradise Now" was one of five films nominated for
best foreign language film.
Other nominees included France's "Joyeux Noel," Germany's
"The Final Days," South Africa's "Tsotsi," and Italy's "Don't
Tell," and like many of the U.S. films nominated for Oscars,
the foreign language films deal with social issues, politics,
war and morality.
"I used to think that Hollywood was old and fat people only
interested in making money, but now that I have come here and
have seen and met the people, I see that they are young and hip
and an amazing mix of people who really care about cinema,"
Abu-Assad told Reuters.
He added that being nominated for an Oscar was an honor and
"many people in Palestine are so happy because they have had
recognition from the civilized world. We are being recognized
as being part of civilization."
Marc Rothemund, who directed "Sophie Scholl – The Final
Days," said he hopes his movie instills in people a sense of
right and wrong and the courage to speak up about issues.
"Sophie Scholl" tells the story of a young woman, Sophie,
her brother Hans and other members of the White Rose resistance
movement in Nazi Germany. The student group was based in Munich
and distributed leaflets condemning the Nazis.
"She becomes a heroine. She fights for values, for freedom
and peace, and to see that these values of 60 years ago still
resonate today — that people gave their lives for them —
people will appreciate it," Rothemund said.
He said that world audiences today are not that much
different than U.S. movie goers, and the movie is expected to
begin playing in the United States in February.
"Joyeux Noel" also is expected to take advantage of the
hype surrounding the Oscars to help build audiences when it
begins playing in U.S. theaters in March.
It tells of a Christmas Eve in 1914, and a World War I
battlefield on which troops held their own truce to celebrate
the holiday together.
South Africa's "Tsotsi," which is slang for "gangster,"
tells a story of triumph over adverse conditions that include
the AIDS epidemic and post-apartheid violence.
Finally, "Don't Tell" provides audiences with a tale of
adult siblings scarred by child abuse. Its lead actress,
Giovanna Mezzogiorno, won the award best actress honors last
year at the Venice Film Festival for her work in the movie.

Holliday hoping for another slump-busting playoffs
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens couldn't keep Trindon Holliday out of the record books a year ago, although they did manage to relegate him to a footnote.
Denver's returner snapped out of a slump when he piled up an NFL-record 248 yards in returns in the Broncos' 38-35 loss in double-overtime to the Ravens.
He's the only NFL player ever to take both a punt and a kickoff for scores in a playoff game, and nobody's ever returned a longer punt (90 yards) or kickoff (104 yards) in the postseason than he did on that frigid day in Denver.
Holliday enters this year's playoffs in another prolonged dry spell — he hasn't scored since September and he has six muffs over the last two months.
Still, Broncos special teams coach Jeff Rodgers remains a firm believer that he could be a difference-maker Sunday when the Broncos (13-3) face the San Diego Chargers (10-7) on a windy day at Sports Authority Field in the AFC Divisional playoffs.
"Every time that guy touches the ball, he's got a chance to get in the end zone," Rodgers said.
With a half-dozen TDs in 32 games, Holliday has the highest special teams TD rate (5.3) in NFL history since the 1970 merger, ahead of Devin Hester, who had 19 return touchdowns in 128 games (6.7).
Holliday had an 81-yard punt return for a TD against the Giants and a 105-yard kickoff return for a score against the Eagles in September, when the Broncos also blocked two punts.
Then, an injury epidemic on defense affected their special teams depth and one of the Broncos' biggest strengths became a weak link.
Not only has Holliday been bottled up for a career-high 11-game stretch — he was sidelined for another game by a concussion — but the Broncos have had at least one major mistake on special teams in each of their last six games:
— In his homecoming at New England, Wes Welker failed to signal his teammates to clear out fast enough and a punt bounced off teammate Tony Carter, the Patriots recovered and kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime.
— At Kansas City, the Broncos surrendered a franchise-record 108-yard kickoff return TD by Knile Davis.
— They allowed a 95-yard kickoff return by Tennessee's Leon Washington the following week.
— Nate Irving jumped offside on a punt out of the end zone on fourth-and-4 and the 5-yard penalty gave San Diego a first down, allowing the Chargers to keep Peyton Manning on the sideline for 7 more minutes, which proved crucial in Denver's 27-20 defeat, the Broncos' only home loss all season.
— Holliday's slump-busting 50-yard punt return at Houston was negated by Carter's holding penalty.
— And in the season finale at Oakland, Britton Colquitt saw his first blocked punt in 317 career tries.
It would be easy to blame the roster gymnastics for the slippage down the stretch, but Rodgers wouldn't go there.
"Everybody deals with that stuff and injuries are always going to affect your total personnel," he said. "That's kind of the job description to try to manage that situation and put the new guys in a position to be successful."

Skilled migration is often thought to have overwhelmingly negative effects on countries of migrant origin. Yet recent research and policy experience challenge this assumption and offer a more nuanced picture, as this brief explains. Countries of origin and destination can in fact benefit from skilled migration when it is correctly structured, and efforts to restrict skilled nationals' ability to leave their countries of origin may have unintended costs, in addition to being ethically problematic.
Economic and demographic disparities will shape the mobility of labor and skills during the 21st century. The populations of richer societies are aging rapidly, while working-age populations continue to grow in some emerging economies and most low-income countries. Despite these trends, many countries continue to assume that today's demographic realities will persist. This policy brief describes how the current geography of migration is changing, and offers recommendations for policymakers.
Diasporas can play an important role in the economic development of their countries of origin or ancestry. Beyond their well-known role as senders of remittances, diasporas also can promote trade and foreign direct investment, create businesses, spur entrepreneurship, and transfer new knowledge and skills. Policymakers increasingly recognize that an engaged diaspora can be an asset — or even a counterweight to the emigration of skilled and talented migrants.
Private recruitment agencies orchestrate much of the migration process, from predeparture to return. They provide information, assistance, and even financial support to migrants; facilitate transit to and from the destination; and in some cases employ migrants directly. While recruitment agencies protect migrants, sometimes removing them from abusive workplaces or even organizing repatriation, migrants' dependence on them for so many services also creates many opportunities for exploitation and abuse. This brief assesses the forms of regulation that are being proposed and enacted to oversee recruitment agencies and identifies several areas for further improvement.
Remittances represent a major vehicle for reducing the scale and severity of poverty in the developing world. Besides pure monetary gains, remittances are associated with greater human development outcomes across a number of areas, including health, education, and gender equality. The author argues that policymakers can maximize the positive impact of remittances by making them less costly and more productive for both the individual and the country of origin.
More than ever before, human capital is recognized as the one resource that can propel firms and economies to the top tier of competitiveness. With substantial increases in the supply and demand for skilled workers, governments will have to think carefully about how they engage with the global talent pool, and how they can select most effectively from it.
This fact sheet offers a detailed review of the comprehensive immigration reform legislation approved by the U.S. Senate in June 2013 and compares its major provisions with those of the five targeted immigration bills approved by the House Judiciary Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee.
This issue brief analyzes the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides a two-year reprieve from deportation for eligible unauthorized immigrants who came to the United States as children. The study finds that 49 percent of the eligible population had applied during the program's first year, and reveals wide variation in application rates across states and national-origin groups.
La migración ha contribuido a dar forma y definir las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México desde hace más de un siglo, y las relaciones con Centroamérica aproximadamente durante los últimos 30 años. A veces, incluso la migración se convierte en la lente a través de la cual se consideran todos los otros aspectos de esta relación.

Rubberbands and stringing tension?
View Single Post
New User
Join Date: Apr 2004

One word: PLACEBO
Adding a rubberband does not increase the tension even by 1 lb, much less 5 lbs. The very idea is ridiculous, so let me just stop it now before any more people get confused about this. A rubberband is virtually identical to any other vibration dampener, and the tension effect is negligible.
For those who still don't believe me, try this experiment. Get a tension meter, and measure a few points in the middle of the stringbed. (It might say something like 45 lbs for a 60 lb stringjob. This is ok.) Next, add 10 rubberbands around the edges of the stringbed. Then use the tension meter to measure stringbed stiffness again. Make sure to measure the same points on the stringbed as before, as the consistency is lower than you would guess. The reading will be exactly the same. It will not read 5 lbs greater, much less 50 lbs greater.
I hope at this point the absurdity has become apparent.

We previously discussed one Patent Owner's attempt to avoid the "broadest reasonable interpretation" (BRI) claim construction standard by disclaiming the remainder of the patent-at-issue's term. While some uncertainty about that technique remains, what is clear is that when a patent in an IPR expires during the pendency of the proceeding, the limitations of that patent's claims are construed pursuant to the Phillips claim construction standard. That is, claim terms are given their ordinary and customary meaning as understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. In Square, Inc. v. Carl Cooper (IPR 2014-00157), an example of this principle is seen in action, as the patent at issue (U.S. Pat. No. 7,828,207) was set to expire prior to the Board issuing the final written decision.
Both parties to the proceeding filed a Joint Stipulation stating that the broadest reasonable interpretation of the claims did not apply given this pending expiration. Previously, the Board had construed the claim terms according to their broadest reasonable interpretation, as is the case with all IPR proceedings of unexpired patents. In the end, though, it was a distinction without a difference because, despite this shift from BRI to Phillips, the Board found that no changes to previous claim constructions were necessary.

Bovine tuberculosis meeting set for Emmet County
By AP
Michigan agriculture officials plan to have a public meeting to discuss the presence of bovine tuberculosis in Emmet County.
The meeting will be 7 p.m. Sept. 16 at the West Traverse Township Hall.
The meeting comes after the U.S. Department of Agriculture last month classified a second Emmet County farm as being infected with bovine tuberculosis.
State officials say a first herd tested positive in March. An investigation found that a breeding bull from that herd had been leased to the second Emmet County producer.
No other animals have tested positive within that herd.
Emmet County is in a zone where herds must be tested at least once every three years and sometimes more often, depending on the type of cattle sold.

Benjy is a 1951 American short documentary film directed by Fred Zinnemann. It won an Academy Award in 1952 for Documentary Short Subject.[1]
Henry Fonda narrates this short film about a boy who was handicapped from birth. An orthopedic pediatrician wants to provide a therapeutic regimen that could cure the child, a scoliosis patient, but first he needs to convince the boy's parents, who have rejected the child because of his disabilities.[2]
Zinnemann and the film's production crew worked gratis on this project, which was originally designed to be used as a fundraiser for the Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital.[2]
In his 1992 book An Autobiography, Zinneman noted that Paramount Pictures arranged for the crew on this production, and that the union members connected to the production turned their salaries back to the hospital. Henry Fonda also volunteered his services for the film.[3]
Although the film extensively used dramatized sequences to tell its story, it was successfully entered in the Academy Award category for Best Documentary Short Subject.[4]

The Split 13 x2 combines a fairly lightweight 13-inch tablet with a keyboard, battery and storage dock. It's a strong concept, though aspects of HP's execution aren't as solid as they could be.
Japan's Sharp said Monday that it has received a second US$60 million investment from Qualcomm, as the two companies work together to mass produce low-power, high-performance displays for mobile devices.
4G has only just taken off in Australia but Samsung was quick out of the blocks with the Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G, which earns the title of Australia's first 4G tablet.
HP CEO Meg Whitman expects Apple to take over as the world's number one PC maker in 2012 but thinks her own company will bounce back in 2013.
The HP TouchPad is HP's answer to Apple's ever-conquering iPad 2. It's the first tablet to run the company's webOS operating system -- software HP acquired from Palm when it bought the struggling company for US$1.2 billion in 2010.
The Monday 6 June kick-off of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference will include the official unveiling of the new Apple operating systems OS X Lion, iOS 5 for mobile devices, and the Apple iCloud online service.
Dell Australia has officially launched the XPS 15z, a 15.6in notebook that competes - however much the company denies it -- with the Apple Macbook Pro.
Foxconn Technology Group, manufacturer of popular consumer tech products such as the Apple iPhone, iPod, and iPad, as well as Dell computers, had a large explosion and fire at one of its manufacturing plants in southwestern China Friday night.
Known for its straightforward business laptops, Lenovo is adding a touch of style with its new ThinkPad X1. The ultrathin laptop will be available May 24th for a starting price of US$1,399.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"I don't know," says Senator Lou Raptakis (D-Coventry), one of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that held a marathon hearing on the subject from 5 pm Thursday to 5 am Friday.
Raptakis says 9 of 10 committee members stuck it out to the end.
