School board would grow under proposal
Initiative would add appointed members, which boosters say would increase accountability
The proposal
• Trustees would be elected from sub-districts, rather than districtwide
• Five elected board members would be joined by four appointed members
• Trustees would be limited to three four-year terms
• The board would have to develop a plan for improvement at each school and report results annually
It's been less than two months since San Diegans elected two new school board members to office. So why are voters still hearing political ads and seeing petition gatherers on the way to their holiday shopping?
A different kind of school board campaign is heating up, one that seeks to expand the five-person panel to include four additional members to be appointed — not elected — to help steer the state's second-largest school system.
San Diegans 4 Great Schools, a group of business leaders, parents and educators, is promoting its reforms on the radio, the Internet and in shopping centers from La Jolla to Logan Heights.
Proponents say the initiative would help depoliticize the San Diego Unified School District, increase accountability and improve public education. But critics argue the movement would erode the Democratic process, bust unions and perhaps dismantle the current education system in favor of one that might include privatization.
The effort includes community leaders such as Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs and real estate mogul Malin Burnham. The group has paid a brigade of workers to collect signatures through February for a petition to get their measure before voters as early as this spring.
Their initiative would impose term limits on trustees and require that they are voted into office in geographic regions of San Diego, rather than from the district at large. To make it to the polls, proponents need about 95,000 valid signatures.
"In terms of strategy, we are trying to communicate the state of our schools, trying to communicate that it's time for change." said Scott Himelstein, president of the group and director of the University of San Diego's Center for Educational Policy and Law. "We don't have enough kids doing well and we have had dysfunctional relationships between the school board and the superintendent and employee groups for a long time."
Himelstein declined to say how many signatures have been collected or validated. He also declined to disclose how much the group is paying per signature, except to say that the going rate ranges from more than $1 per autograph to more than $4.
San Diego school board President Richard Barrera has called the campaign deceptive. He said the initiative offers the business community an alternative route onto the school board, since it's unable to win via an election — especially since it has an approach to education that's unpopular with the teacher's union.
"I think they certainly lose credibility as a grass roots group of concerned citizens when the people gathering the signatures are hired guns," said Barrera, a Harvard-educated community organizer who believes many are signing the petition based on vague promises of great schools.
"I do believe these people are sincerely in this to improve schools, but their strategies are questionable and deceptive," Barrera said.

Linux for Tegra release 12 alpha 1 XServer Problems
1 Attachment(s)
I just tried to get the Linux for Tegra release 12 alpha 1 on my Harmony running. Flashing, setting up the rootfs and also booting the system works well!
However, I am unable to show anything on my HDMI attached Display. The reason for this seems to be known: Login via console or ssh and start an X session. Here comes the problem: I could not get the X server to launch;( I attached the log from the X server.
Hope anybody could help to solve this.
Thanx in advance...
Re: Linux for Tegra release 12 alpha 1 XServer Problems
You're using the wrong kernel and/or kernel config. First, you need to compile the kernel with support for consoles. I think the relevant config options are
and maybe
Second, you need to use a kernel that has the CONFIG_TEGRA_DC_EXTENSIONS option. Are you using the recommended chromeos-2.6.38 kernel and config provided in the L4T release package?
Re: Linux for Tegra release 12 alpha 1 XServer Problems
1 Attachment(s)
thanks for the answer! I flashed the kernel provided in the package and did not build my own. I followed the instructions provides by the pdf document in the L4T.ER1 release.
Anyway, I just re-compiled the kernel (chromeos-2.6.38 from GIT) with all config options you recommended. Still the same problem...:(
Find attached a kernel log (don't know if that helps).
By the way: there seems to be no support for the onboard ethernet controller!? At least in both kernel I've tried...

Dundee Capital Markets' Naprawa Leaves Toronto-Based Firm
July 12 (Bloomberg) -- Dundee Capital Markets Inc.'s Chris Naprawa, head of institutional sales, said he departed the Toronto-based company owned by Dundee Corp.
"I've left the firm," Naprawa said today in a telephone interview. "It was just an internal decision. I'm happy with it, they're happy with it and everyone's good."
Naprawa's departure from the commodity-focused dealer, along with sales colleague Chris Motherwell, was reported earlier today by the Globe and Mail. Sean Cooney, an energy investment banking analyst in Calgary, and Lindsay Weiss, an agriculture-focused managing director in the mergers department, also are no longer with the firm, the Globe said.
A message left at Dundee's office wasn't immediately returned. Weiss declined to comment, while a message sent to Cooney through LinkedIn.com wasn't immediately returned.

Vista To say that Jack Larimer never left Vista would be an understatement.
Not only has he lived his whole life here, but he spent 29 years of it working for the city — and in 2002, after retiring from the planning department, he signed on as the director of the Vista Historical Museum, where he still presides.
So when Larimer celebrates his 65th birthday today, he will mark 65 years of collecting stories and names and dates.
On Thursday, he sat down with me and opened his encyclopedia of a memory for half an hour, reciting but a fraction of what he knows about his hometown.
"I've always liked history," he told me. "You know when you take history in 11th grade and it's the most boring class in the world? Well, actually, I read the book like it was a novel. I've always liked history."
Larimer is especially good at recalling the trivia of this city, beginning with the man who tried to name it after himself.
"The town was named by John Frazier, and he wanted it named Frazier's Crossing," Larimer explained. "This was 1882, and how you named places was, you started a post office. Fortunately for us, there was a place named Frazier in Tulare County, so they turned him down."
Perhaps the most important year in the city's history was 1926, according to Larimer: "Everything started in '26,"he said with a chuckle.
Most significantly, that was the year when water began flowing down from Lake Henshaw, triggering a boom in farming and development.
"In the history of Vista, the one thing that prevented agriculture from really blooming was the fact that, in most areas, there wasn't much groundwater," he said. "And, of course, it doesn't rain much here. It all depended on water—when there was water, this place really grew."
The second major development in 1926 came when a man named Melvin Remsburg founded the Vista Press.
It turns out that Larimer is a keen observer of the newspaper industry, and the microfiche of Remsburg's rag lives on — thanks in large part to Larimer — at vistahistoricalsociety.com.
"When I went to work for the city in 1972, there were five daily papers covering Vista," he said. "That's the one difference between working here and working for the city, especially back then. Now, you beg people to cover you, because we're just one nonprofit among many. But at the city, sometimes you had to beat the reporters off with a stick."
On Thursday, I was the only journalist within earshot at the 3,200-square-foot house where the museum now resides. The place was built in 1934 by Nick and Bessie Huntalas, who grew oranges and raised their children in the corridors that have now been occupied by the historical society since 2009.
Larimer is right at home here, perhaps because he was raised less than a mile away, on the corner of Foothill Drive and Warmlands Avenue, "in the old farmhouse at the bottom of the hill."

"...You're helping kids learn how to walk and that's amazing all on its own... But (to do that) in Haiti, where they have literally nothing... it means so much."
After a week, Mosaddeghi made a decision – she would return to her home in Cupertino, but give up her job in favor of contract work. That, in turn, would let her spend more time helping others around the world. "I gave my letter of resignation to my boss and said 'I need to do more work like this.'"
First up, in July, was a return trip to Haiti.
One of the first patients she met and treated was 13-year-old Andre Chandley. He'd suffered life-threatening injuries when the quake buried him in rubble. Most kids in Andre's shoes probably would have withdrawn from the world.
But Andre, a wisecracking, multilingual charmer, wins people over – from the Navy medical crew aboard the USS Comfort, who cried when he left their ship, to Mosaddeghi, who says she knew this boy was special the moment she met him.
"The beauty of this kid is that he was able to communicate with a lot of people and in some way that allowed him to capture a lot of hearts and share his story," Mosaddeghi says.
"He had this fantastic spirit about him that you just sort of get drawn into because amid everything that's going on he has this fantastic smile on his face."
Andre's spirit also drew in Fullerton photographer Alan De Herrera, who happened to be chatting with Andre at the hospital one day and mentioned that he was from Orange County.
"It was really refreshing because I think Orange County has the stigma of being... in its own world, so it's refreshing to see people thinking about the community at large," Mosaddeghi says.
Now, De Herrera and Mosaddeghi are working together to help raise funds for Andre, whose father was killed in the earthquake, leaving his mother struggling to survive. At one point, De Herrera says Andre's mom told him she might have to put her son in an orphanage, where he could get food and at least some medical help.
Despite his future being in doubt, despite the scars that cover his face and body, despite the probability that he'll walk with a limp for the rest of his life, Andre's eyes still lit up every day that Mosaddeghi spent with him.
"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about (the Haitian children) and what I experienced with them," says Mosaddeghi. "It's stuck with you."

2004 Mazda Tribute- I love it!
I read Cappy's review. None of his complaints apply to my vehicle. The car is wonderful and I have had it since I bought it new. It rides beautifully on local or expressway roads and handles like a sports car. I have it with all the extras and it handles beautifully in the snow with the 4 wheel drive. Gas mileage is more than adequate in 22 mpg on average range for all types of driving. I have had absolutely no problem with the car mechanically or electrically in the five years that I have ************ hums as I drive it. I have followed all maintenance recommendations at the dealer. Nothing has worn out earlier than expectation like the brakes on my 96 Lincoln Continental. In fact, parts seem to last beyond expectation and the surface paint still takes a nice shine. Heating and A/C- ventilation systems, ABS etc, all function very well. I recommend the vehicle with the extra's such as moon roof, 4WD, good stero system, leather interior, as it makes driving that much more confortable, and more effective in the winter. Thus I recommend the Mazda Tribute very highly.

Loud and gas filler probs...
Have a '94 Tribute. Nice vehicle. The interior is very loud especially on the highway. Also, we've had major issues with the gas filler neck - We are not able to fill the tank without standing there holding the handle - most of the time. This can be a major pain especially in Michigan winter. We've taken it in numerous times and it finally came down to they labelled this as "normal". Not happy with this at all...

AP Top News at 4:59 p.m. EDT
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO's foreign ministers ordered an end to civilian and military cooperation with Russia on Tuesday and told their generals and admirals to quickly figure out ways to better protect alliance members that feel threatened by Vladimir Putin's Kremlin. The 28-member alliance, the keystone of U.S. and European security since the end of World War II, was reacting to its most serious crisis in years: Russia's unilateral annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, which the U.S. and its allies have condemned as an illegal land grab.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Tanks headed north into Ukraine this week from Russian-controlled Crimea. Not at the head of an invading army, but on a trainload of military equipment in such poor shape that Moscow had no use for it. This humiliation illustrates the yawning chasm in the two former Soviet nations' armed forces — one hollowed out by a lack of finances, the other benefiting from booming oil revenues.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The fix for a faulty ignition switch linked to 13 traffic deaths would have cost just 57 cents, members of Congress said Tuesday as they demanded answers from General Motors' new CEO on why the automaker took 10 years to recall cars with the defect. At a hearing on Capitol Hill before a House subcommittee, GM's Mary Barra acknowledged under often testy questioning that the company took too long to act. She promised changes at GM that would prevent such a lapse from happening again.
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's not too late to get covered. A few routes remain open for those who missed the health care law's big enrollment deadline. Millions may be eligible for a second chance to sign up for subsidized insurance this year. And people who get coverage after the deadline can still avoid, or at least reduce, the fine for going uninsured.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — An aviation industry group is creating a task force to make recommendations this year for continuously tracking commercial airliners because "we cannot let another aircraft simply vanish" like Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As low clouds, rain and choppy seas off western Australia hampered Tuesday's hunt for the missing jet, the head of the operation warned that the 25-day-old search "could drag on for a long time," and Malaysian investigators said they were scrutinizing the last-known conversation between the plane and ground control.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It may mean little to investigators that the last words air traffic controllers heard from the lost jetliner were "Good night, Malaysian three-seven-zero," rather than "All right, good night." But to Malaysian officials whose credibility has been questioned almost from the beginning, it means a great deal. Malaysian officials said more than two weeks ago that "All right, good night," were the last words, and that the co-pilot uttered them. They changed the account late Monday and said they are still investigating who it was that spoke. The discrepancy added to the confusion and frustration families of the missing already felt more than three weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, and as of Tuesday officials had not explained how they got it wrong.
ATLANTA (AP) — Archbishop Wilton Gregory seems to have gotten the pope's message about modest living. Days after Pope Francis permanently removed a German bishop for his lavish spending on a new residence, the Atlanta archbishop apologized for building a $2.2 million mansion as his residence. He bowed to criticism from local parishioners and said he'd consider selling the new home in Buckhead, Atlanta's toniest neighborhood.
Tiger Woods chose surgery to heal his ailing back over a quest for another green jacket, announcing Tuesday that he will miss the Masters for the first time in his career. Woods said on his website that he had surgery Monday in Utah for a pinched nerve that had been hurting him for several months, knowing the surgery would keep him from Augusta National next week for the first time since he was a senior in high school.

Re: My Escape Plan - Insights Wanted
Thanks Mark and Aaron, you guys are giving me hope that next fall could work!
I alluded to this before, but to be clear, I have a pretty great life right now. Great friends, good job, lots of activities that I'm passionate about, and the money to pursue them. So, escaping was perhaps a poor choice of words. But after working in cubeland for 15 years or so, I'm ready for a life change. I'd be escaping a perfectly fine "normal" life for something more exotic. And I'm not looking to find myself...I know who I am. I love exploring. I love challenging myself. And I love sailing. And I love not working. Actually, sometimes I love my work too, but the idea of having the freedom to go where I want, stay as long as I want, and explore ot to my heart's content is very appealing.
A "sea of old people" is both hilarious and enlightening. I imagine many have some fascinating tales to tell, and that I'll find some younger interesting people exploring local towns.
And if I do find I don't like it, I can always sell the boat and go back to normal life, right? I do get that simply stepping back into where I was is not likely to happen. I'm ok with this.
I've read that you typically need to put in about 30% of the cost of a boat to equip it for extended cruising. Thinking I'll need a pretty good solar power system, watermaker, maybe wind gen, and great nav electronics and a powerful and super reliable engine - not neccessarily repower, but have a mech go through everything. I can see all that running 25-30k. But you're right, I can probably find most of that on a used cruiser.
Hadn't thought about buying in Fla, but maybe I'll start looking there as well. No reason I couldn't just live in a tent while checking out boats for a couple weeks. I'm not really planning on ocean transits. Maybe after a few years try to get to Europe. Maybe. Primarily coastal cruising. I guess "gunkholing", which is a new term to me. That's when you just find a spot to anchor that's not a port or harbor? If so, yeah, that's the plan. Writing, reading, photography, windsurfing and snorkling will all be done in mass quantities. Add to that biking and busing to explore inland.
So, couple questions about "the life".
When you're outside the US, do small towns and small ports typically have anchorage spots to throw down for free or do they charge? If they have moorage bouys, what do those cost typically? What about tying up for a few days down in the Carribbean and S. America? How much is that usually?
Also, what do you guys do during hurricanes? Outrun them? Ride them out in a protected anchorage? Anchor and get a hotel? Put the boat on the hard?

International Automakers Renew Commitment to Support National Greenhouse Gas/Fuel Economy Program
ARLINGTON, Va., May 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The auto industry met at the White House today to announce their continued support of a single national policy to increase fuel efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution from motor vehicles for the next 15 years. The Association of International Automobile Manufacturers (AIAM) commended President Obama's leadership and commitment to a process that will continue the program through 2025.
"AIAM members strongly support and are aggressively pursuing innovative ways to reduce CO2 emissions to protect the environment and lessen the nation's reliance on fossil fuels," said Michael J. Stanton, President and CEO of AIAM. "Building on the model developed in last year's historic agreement, today's commitment creates a path to greater future progress. We are able to advance our goal by providing manufacturers the lead-time to design and build the type of advanced technology vehicles needed while continuing to provide consumers with a full range of vehicle choices."
In April, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) finalized federal harmonized GHG emissions and fuel economy standards for motor vehicles for model years 2012 – 2016. EPA estimates this program will reduce GHG emissions by 960 million metric tons and save 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of the vehicles sold during this period. The renewed commitments among the stakeholders to work collaboratively on the next phase of the national program will cover the 2017 to 2025 model years.
AIAM and its members have long recognized the importance of addressing climate change and have supported efforts by public officials to require meaningful reductions in GHG emissions from automobiles and light trucks. AIAM members have been industry leaders in the effort to improve fuel efficiency of the vehicles they sell while reducing environmental degradation. Seven of the top ten models on EPA's 2010 Fuel Economy Leaders list are manufactured by AIAM members, and the Association's members were responsible for 83 percent of all hybrid vehicles sold in the U.S. market in 2009.
About AIAM – The Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, Inc. (AIAM) is a trade association representing 15 international motor vehicle manufacturers who account for 40 percent of all passenger cars and light trucks sold annually in the United States. AIAM provides members with information, analysis and advocacy on a wide variety of legislative and regulatory issues impacting the auto sector. The Association is dedicated to the promotion of free trade and to policies that enhance motor vehicle safety and the protection of the environment.

USDA Power Play Threatens the Future of Organic Foods
Last week saw an inter-agency power grab. It begins with the weakening of organic standards—and could end with the term "organic" becoming practically meaningless. Action Alert! Tell the USDA to use a public and transparent process for all major changes to organic standards by publishing proposed changes in the Federal Register, and actively seeking public input and discussion. In addition, tell the USDA to enforce the sunset provision of the OFPA as it was originally intended—allowing synthetic products to remain after their "sunset" date only after public debate and a two-thirds vote of the NOSB. More than 100 synthetics will be up for sunset consideration in 2015. We must act now to protect the integrity of organics.

Picture yourself here! This premiere, quiet one-bedroom condo just feet from the ocean offers views overlooking aqua waters from the roofed front balcony with balustrade. (No building in between.) Inside, floor to ceiling turquoise drapes frame glass doors of the living room decorated in shades of aqua, blue, and spring green.

The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, microwave and freestanding stove/oven, blender, coffeemaker, and toaster oven.

Guaranteeing a quiet night's sleep in this tranquil setting, the spacious master bedroom with full bath features Lexington Tommy Bahama furnishings: king-size bed, night tables, and bureau. A back balcony offers sunny views of the ever-blooming, tropical landscaping.
Keywords: Grande Bay, St. John, Virgin Islands, Cruz Bay, one bedroom, condo
This couple has 3 married children who also enjoy hiking and snorkeling on St. John. He is an environmental engineer; she is a communications director.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2011
After years of exploring the Virgin Islands through bareboat sailing rentals, we settled on St. John because of the spectacular scenery, the warmth of the island people, and the perfect weather.
We love the ever-changing vistas of the harbor: pelicans diving, sailboats coming and going. The proximity to town is another plus - we love leaving the car behind and walking to the many wonderful restaurants in Cruz Bay.
All of the comforts of home are available in this beautiful one bedroom condo overlooking Cruz Bay. No need to rent a jeep, you are within walking distance to all of the great restaurants and bars in downtown Cruz Bay. Only a short taxi ride to all of the spectacular beaches in the Cruz Bay area and walking distance to the National Park Pier for all of your boat excursions. Our family will have everlasting great memories of my son's wedding and vacation time we had together on St John. We will hopefully be looking forward to an annual trip back each year to St John staying at this awesome condo on Cruz Bay.
We absolutely loved St. John! The condo was perfect for us and it was so nice being picked up at the ferry and then walking into our condo and have the refrigerator all packed with the food that we ordered. It was a pleasure sitting on our condo and looking out on the beautiful bay. That is where we spent all of our time while in the condo. It was just a short walk to everything we wanted to see and do. We ate at several restaurants and they were all wonderful. Our day long boat trip to the various islands was also a treat as we were able to snorkel and go thru the baths. Another day, we rented a jeep and saw all of the beaches and did more snorkeling. What a dream vacation it was!!!
Stop looking – this is the most perfect condo rental on St John – and if you need a bit more or less space, just ask – they have a few different models.
As others have stated, the condo is just as pictured in the photos – everything is perfect for your stay on St John. The location is great –you can walk to EVERYTHING in town in minutes. The north shore beaches are just a 10-20 minute scenic drive.
The condo is well equipped with all of the supplies you might need – extra toiletries, sunscreen, beach toys/chairs, etc. We brought our own snorkel gear but after some equipment failures, it was so nice to be able to just borrow the snorkel/fins/mask from the condo vs worry about spending our vacation time shopping for gear or deal with renting some.
The entire rental process (booking condo/paying for it/check –in/check-out) was seamless and so easy. The owners and management company were very responsive and helpful with the couple questions we asked.
We look forward to our next trip to St John and when we go, we most definitely plan to stay here again.
My wife and I have never taken a vacation like this after 29 years of marriage! This was perfect - everything about it! Anna May was very friendly and responsive to our emails prior to our vacation and the unit was perfect! What you see is what you get and it couldn't have been better! There is a web cam view of Grande Bay and it might as well have been from this unit! I clicked on it almost every day prior to our vacation in anticipation of our trip. When we arrived it was exactly as I had imagined! The unit was clean and the management company was very accomidating upon our arrival. We would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a Grande Bay view and who wants a comfortable bed and good hot shower each night of their stay! The pool and hot tub were a quick walk away as I used them almost every evening after coming back from the unbelievable beaches of St John! We can't wait to come back and we will!!!
This unit was an amazing way to spend our first trip to St. John! Everything was perfect with the unit, well equipped, and the process couldn't have been easier. A great addition is the very friendly and knowledgeable property manager who meets you at the dock, gives you a quick tour of Cruz Bay and makes sure you are well situated (even picking up groceries and setting up a Jeep rental, if requested).
We fell in love with the island and are already planning our next trip back, hopefully staying at the Grande Bay again, preferably in the same unit! Grande Bay has everything you could ask for, including complimentary coffee and pastries every morning, along with a very welcoming staff.
Thank you for an amazing trip!
I cannot thank Anna May and Peter enough for saving the last few days of our honeymoon! We had booked a villa called Arc du Soliel for 12 nights, and things didn't quite turn our like we thought they would. We decided to find a new place for our last two nights. Most places on St. John will not book for two nights simply because it is not worth it to do all the cleaning for such a short stay. Anna May agreed to help us without even knowing it was our honeymoon. Her and Peter happened to be on vacation in St. John at the time, and she actually went and helped the cleaning crew herself so we could get in sooner.
The place is gorgeous. It is wonderfully decorated, and is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The view is unbelievable, you're balcony is right on the water. The bars, restaurants, and shopping are literally right outside your door, and you have a provided garage parking spot which is a huge deal if you've ever been to St. John's downtown. The villa itself is so nice and comfortable with wonderful air conditioning.
We had such a great time staying here that I truly credit it to saving our honeymoon and helping us have a wonderful time in St. John. Anna May and Peter are just the nicest people and we are positive this is where we will stay every visit from now on. You definitely can't go wrong renting one of their four condos!

Lino Brocka's 'Maynila' to be shown in Cannes Friday
More News from Bayani San Diego Jr.
CANNES—It's a much-delayed "homecoming" for the late National Artist for Film Lino Brocka in this resort city in the French Riviera, which once embraced him as one of its most celebrated finds.
Brocka's Cannes "discoverer," Pierre Rissient, has been campaigning for years for the Filipino filmmaker's return to the Croisette.
In a 2008 interview with the Inquirer, Rissient said: "I want to have Brocka's films, like 'Insiang' and 'Jaguar,' restored and reshown in Cannes. I am aware that it can be an expensive undertaking but it's important."
Over three decades after the world premiere of "Insiang" in the Section Parallèlle/Directors' Fortnight, another Brocka classic will be unveiled Friday night in this year's edition of the Cannes International Film Festival.
Brocka was the country's most well-known director in the international scene before his death in a car accident in 1991.
Brocka's 1975 film, "Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag," was chosen to be featured in the Cannes Classics section, along with other screen gems like Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "Cleopatra," Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" in 3D, Alain Resnais' "Hiroshima Mon Amour," Patrice Chéreau's "La Rein Margot," Francesco Rosi's "Lucky Luciano" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo."
Brocka's "Maynila" represents Philippine cinema in this esteemed lineup.
After all, "Maynila" is "an acknowledged classic not just in the Philippines but all over the world," said Briccio Santos, chairman of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), which undertook the restoration project along with Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation (WCF) and the film's cinematographer and producer, Mike de Leon.
"It's the same film that introduced Brocka to US audiences and it was shown at Lincoln Center in New York twice, in 1980 and 1999," Santos said.
Santos described "Maynila" as the collaboration of "two big names in Philippine cinema, Brocka and De Leon," creating a movie that would "alter the course of filmmaking in the country."
Endangered classics
It's imperative to save endangered classics like "Maynila," Santos said.
"Since we have already lost much of our cinematic heritage, we can no longer neglect these classics," Santos said. "We owe it to the next generations to preserve all that we can."
Last year, the FDCP premiered another "lost" Filipino classic, Manuel Conde's "Genghis Khan" at the Venice film fest.
The same team that had worked on "Genghis Khan" was commissioned to undertake the digital restoration of "Maynila"—L'Immagine Ritrovata, based in Bologna, Italy.
The only extant master negatives of "Maynila" from the British Film Institute and the only good print from the Asian Film Archives (AFA in Singapore) were sent to Italy for the restoration project, said De Leon.
Davide Pozzi, director for film restoration of the Bologna laboratory, told the Inquirer that "18 technicians worked every day in two shifts" to restore "Maynila."
Pozzi admitted that, in a lot of ways, it was a "labor of love" for the staff of L'Immagine Ritrovata, which works closely with Scorsese's WCF.
Pozzi said it was not every day that they got to work on a film like "Maynila."
"It's a great film," Pozzi said. "The whole team loves Brocka's work."
With utmost affection, the Italian experts worked on "Maynila"—"erasing the scratches, white spots, halos and dirt."
"The main problem was the film's physical condition. It was fortunate that we got to work on the original camera negatives, along with the good prints from AFA," Pozzi said. "We were able to combine the best elements from the best source materials."
Digitally cleaning the film, Pozzi clarified, is a technical process devoid of aesthetic decisions. But when it came to color grading the film, Pozzi turned to De Leon in order to achieve the filmmakers' original intention.
Pozzi flew to Manila two months before the Cannes premiere to meet with De Leon and show snippets of the restored film.
"In film restoration, it's advisable to consult with the artists who worked on it," Pozzi said. "I wanted to get feedback from the film's producer and director of photography so as not to deviate from the film's look."
During the Manila meeting, Pozzi asked De Leon questions about the film's black-and-white opening credits and subtitles, among other concerns.
In a presentation, Pozzi showed that the original images were faded while the restored version looked crisper and more vivid.
Priceless footage
Pozzi likewise referred to a documentary on the making of "Maynila," shot by its scriptwriter, Clodualdo "Doy" del Mundo Jr., in restoring the film.
The docu, which was shot in 16mm, featured excerpts from the film, as well as priceless behind-the-scenes footage, De Leon told Pozzi during the meeting.
In an earlier interview, De Leon clarified that he looked at "Maynila," which was based on a novel by Edgardo M. Reyes, as a chance to make technical innovations in Philippine movies.
"I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to get away from the TV-type of lighting [that was prevalent in] Filipino movies at that time. I wanted to achieve the 'available light' look," De Leon said.
Just as groundbreaking as its technical achievements was the film's scathing critique of martial law Philippine society, said Santos.
Although the film was first released in 1975, its story still resonates and remains relevant, said its lead star Hilda Koronel, who will grace the Cannes premiere.
"The cause of film preservation can be popularized by exhibiting these classics in festivals and encouraging actors and other artists to talk about its importance," Koronel said. "Young people should be exposed to these cinematic treasures."
After the Cannes debut, "Maynila" will be unveiled in Manila and toured all over the country, as part of the FDCP's Sineng Pambansa (national cinema) program.
"Restoring films like 'Maynila' and 'Genghis Khan' can be an effective means to give the country's youth access to these classics, too," Santos said. "Young people can greatly benefit from the lessons of Brocka's films if they are to fulfill their promise as the country's future."

how the greatest Estates we have in this Colony were made; Was it not by taking up & purchasing at very low rates the rich back Lands which were thought nothing of in those days, but are now the most valuable Lands we possess? Undoubtedly it was. (Papers, Colonial ser., 8.3)He acquired acreage in the Shenandoah valley and along rivers flowing into the Ohio; in addition, he joined the Mississippi Company, which sought a royal grant of 2.5 million acres stretching eastwards from the Mississippi River. As an incentive to army recruits, Governor Dinwiddie in 1754 had promised to divide 200,000 acres in the Ohio valley among those who enlisted in the Virginia regiment. For twenty years Washington worked to have the promised grant surveyed and to have title to it confirmed by the British government. He induced veterans to sell their portions to him, and he secured appointment of his agent, William Crawford, as surveyor. Ultimately, Washington acquired 20,147 acres, 10 per cent of the grant.

Quite apartment really close to Ciudadela Park and Borne Neighborhood. 2 metro stops to Gotic Cathedral
Many open spaces as swing parks, green areas and for sure the beach, makes this location Ideal for Families with kids
The beach, tranquility, open spaces, safety, proximity to the city center, make this neighborhood the one chosen by many foreigners to live in Barcelona.
Two couples rented this apartment for a week in Barcelona. It was a perfect location- near a Metro Station and a block from the beach. We could easily visit all the tourist sites and entertainment and still have a quiet time in our apartment. There were many restaurants on the beach and it was a great place to get some exercise. The flat was very spacious with both bedrooms and bathrooms very large, which we found to be unusual in Spain. Usually the guest quarters are an afterthought. Also, the kitchen, dining and living rooms were quite spacious allowing us to take a break from dining out every night! We cannot say enough about our landlord, Eli. She welcomed us at the apartment and introduced us to the apartment and to the area. She had maps and guidebooks ready which is very helpful for planning ahead your experiences for your stay. Most of all, we ran into some difficulties while exploring the city, and Eli went way above and beyond to help us out! When we return to Barcelona we will definitely stay at this same apartment
The owner was very reliable from start to finish, including answering questions and being at the property when we arrived. The flat was very spacious, with comfortable beds and great showers. The location was perfect for us - close to the beach and metro. We walked into the centre of Barcelona several times, and loved the Born area which wasn't far at all. A bonus was being near the Chiringito Escriba which was a fantastic paella restaurant next to the beach - if you go, remember to book. Altogether a great place to stay and thank you to the owner for all his help.
As a holiday apartment, we needed somewhere that also suited grandparents (one with limited mobility) and older teenagers alike, We spent a long time looking for somewhere quiet yet convenient for the beach and the city. The apartment met these requirements perfectly. it was spacious, clean and very well appointed.
Thr apartment itself was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly have needed and to a very high standard. There were three bedrooms, three luxury showers in the main two bathrooms and an additional mini bathroom. For those who prefer a long lie in, the back bedrooms are are very quiet.
The lounge was spacious with three comfy sofas and a large dining table (sits 8). There were luxury towels in the bathrooms and beach towels, bag and umbrella for days by the sea. The modern kitchen provided everything for cooking a meal in the apartment although we took advantage of the many restaurants on offer in Barcelona for our main meal of the day. A utility room with washer and dryer meant we did not arrive home with suitcases full of dirty washing.
There was a good sized supermarket nearby and the apartment was a block away from the port & beach in one direction and the efficient metro in another. If we wanted to go into the city we used the T10 travel cards as these provided a convenient and inexpensive way for all of us to get around. For those who prefer a long lie in, the back rooms are quieter.
Overall, we could not fault the apartment and would certainly recommend it :-)
The apartment was excellent with plenty of space for my three young children. The shower in the main bathroom was great as it could fit all the children at the same time so they loved it. The apartment is well located with a shopping mall and a few restaurants nearby. It is very close to the city although we chose to drive since we had young children and elderly in our group. The owner, Mr. Valentin, was very helpful and was patiently waited for us at the apartment for one hour as we were late on our arrival. Overall, it was a great experience and a fantastic stay for our family. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Barcelona.
We had a phenomenal time at Valentin's Apartment. His sister Elisenda greeted us and allowed us to check in early and out late, luckily prior guests to our stay were out, and the next guests were not coming in until the following day. The Apartment had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to cook our meals when we wanted to - grocery store was close by. The rooms were clean and spacious and everything was as expected. The location was phenomenal. We traveled with a 10 and 7 year old as well as my parents (70 plus). We were able to easily walk to the beach and pier with towels and an umbrella that were provided with the apartment. We enjoyed lots of nice restaurants, parks and the zoo that were all within walking distance from the Apartment. We walked to the subway (5 minute walk) and used the metro extensively to get around to other parts of the city. This was our second time in Barcelona and we previously stayed in the Gothic area last time. We would highly recommend the Olympic Village area for families travelling with seniors and children as it is a very spacious and safe area. All in all, we had a great time and the Apartment was a contributor to our fun time in Spain.
We just spent a great week in Barcelona at a great laid back apartment.There were 3 spacious bedrooms, two fantastic baths and a powder room, a large living room, and dining room. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. We were not expecting the washer and driver. This apartment is centrally located for the tourist. The area is quiet and more residential. We had 6 adults, but probably another or two could be accommodated. The apartment started clean and we left it that way. If you plan to trash the apartment, do not rent. Owner is stand-up guy.

Removing saturated fat from our diet has resulted in a major rise in our consumption of carbohydrates
Health advocates have kicked off one of the largest obesity problems ever encountered by deciding that fat was bad. Especially saturated fat. We're slowly learning that was a bad move.
Many of us still automatically pick up the skimmed milk rather than the full-fat in the supermarket, or choose low-fat spreads instead of butter.
Such shopping habits are the result of decades of official advice to cut back on foods containing saturated fats because they clog our arteries and raise the risk of heart attack.
But recently there have been the rumblings of a dietary revolution, with claims that saturated fat has been unfairly demonised.
Not only has swapping to skimmed milk and similar products done little to halt the rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes, but major scientific trials have acquitted saturated fat of responsibility for heart disease.
In the past week, Swedish researchers found that eating full-fat dairy products slashed the risk of type 2 diabetes.
We've even introduced Type-2 diabetes by forcing people onto, what turns out to be, unbalanced diets. Read more »

Resolve to "Keep it Simple" in 2014
As this year draws to a close, you might be thinking about your hopes and dreams for 2014.You may even have a monster plan to bring in the New Year with a big bang. Not me, this year I'm scaling back …and maybe you should too.
I've given a lot of advice about resolutions and have created my own lists for years now. But this time, I'm trying a new approach. I'm sticking to a simple plan with only one goal. For me, it's going to be better than my past convoluted roadmaps that I could never successfully complete. Face it, I had a better chance of winning the lottery than making all those things happen.
It's good to think big, but I've decided it's better to stay focused, fight hard and finish strong.
What's Your One Thing?
Fortunately, if you were already on the "think big" path, the hard work is already done. Now you've just go to narrow down your choices and ask, "What's one thing that could make a big difference in my financial life if I could just pull it off?" Is it finally tackling that debt load, a budget that needs to be a guiding document for your spending and not an afterthought, or a savings plan that needs to be started or reinvigorated? All those ideas and I haven't even touched on exercise or eating! So, where will you direct your efforts this year?
For my family, the resolution this year is simple: We're going to save, in advance, for all of our major financial undertakings for 2014. We've already had a planning session and agreed upon an approach to fund a family vacation, holiday shopping, a visit to Arrowhead Stadium (go Chiefs!), and kids' camps. No big last-minute budget busters this year! I've already done the legwork, set up the accounts and automatic transfers will begin with the first paycheck of the New Year. Bam! This year will be the first in recent memory where our New Year's resolution becomes a reality…at least beyond January.
Visualize Success, Build a Plan and Execute
You've picked your goal, clearly defined success and now it's time to map out how you're going to get it done. The beauty of scaling back is that you won't need an offsite planning conference with audiovisual support and complicated diagrams to design your strategy. It may take nothing more than a pad of paper and a few minutes chatting after dinner to get everyone on track. Simple or complex, you definitely need to have the whole team paddling in the same direction. And then execute. It's never easy (trust me, I've hit the snooze button on more than one exercise wake-up call), but with laser-like focus on a single outcome, financial or otherwise, my guess is that success that you visualized has a much better chance to become reality.
If you can successfully plan, execute and deliver on more than one goal this year, more power to you. But whether you're trying to turn the corner with your finances, health or relationships, set yourself up for real success by eating the proverbial elephant one bite at a time.
I want to create a budget and stick to it. What is the best way to create a budget that works?
While everyone was celebrating when the ball drop, I was reading articles and the question/answer section of USAA advice center. Have student loan debt of $20,393 (principle figure), I decided to see it as credit card debt. Once I pay off my credit card debt, I am going to send off $100 per paycheck towards my student loans. I am going to use cash to buy the indegredients for my lunch. When I have change, the coins are going into my sons piggy bank and my dollar bills is going into an savings envelope.
Then I am going to do 1 week/$1, 2 week/$2 and so on until 52 week/$52 and that will be $1,378 yearly savings. Then I am gong to see how much MORE money I can save by not buying those 20oz pop bottles. Everytime I'm at a store I always get one for energy. Well, everytime I want one, now when I get home, I'll take that $1.69 into an account and times that about how many times I would have gotten some for that day and put it away.
I already started christmas shopping for Christmas 2014. I bought a total of $50.00 for christmas decorations (all on clearance). Then this past Christmas all the gift bags and boxes that were used, I saved those for this Christmas (A HUGE SAVING). For Gift wrapping paper I am just going to use newspaper because nobody doesn't care about the wrapping anyways, plus it just gets rip up....
Making homemade babywipes save me $15/mo or $30/mo so everytime I have to make homemade baby wipes I will put the money that would have been used to buy the wipes into another acct.
I am curious of what my actual yearly savings would be if I did that and cut some stuff out.
Then with my tax refund check, I am going to take that in half and put half of it away. Then I am going to the other half and divide it by 12 and that will be my monthly food allowance for the whole year.
Then I am going to grow a garden for vegetables, clip coupons, and since my grandfather owns a mechanic shop I am going to ask him if I can recycle some lawn mowers stuff that can no longer be used to be recycle for cash....
Can't wait to see how much money I can save throughout 2014... Maybe my yearly savings can be put down on my student loan debt and make smaller....
We'll see how this all goes....

Effort designed to avoid duplicating process that led to Palin
Romney has taken a hands-on role. He checks in with Myers over the phone about every other day to discuss his thinking. And the candidate, a Harvard-trained lawyer, reviews some of the background information himself.
At the end of every day, confidential materials (tax returns, investment records and real estate documents) are returned to a secure vault inside the Romney campaign headquarters in Boston.
The campaign's questionnaire, modeled after the one Romney filled out in 2008 when he was being considered as a running mate to McCain, delves deeply into the personal and professional lives of the potential candidate, his or her spouse, any previous spouses and immediate family members.
The initial round of paperwork is followed by interviews with campaign lawyers, some of them in face-to-face sessions.
Aides emphasize that, despite their meticulousness, they are open-minded on the selections. Romney has decided he can deal with a problematic congressional vote or state policy — something significantly to the left or right of Romney's positions, for instance — as long as it occurred sufficiently long ago.
Myers has sought advice from previous presidential campaigns, including aides to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's 2004 race, who warned against picking a candidate with unchecked ambitions. (Kerry's selection, John Edwards, made little secret of his designs for the White House.)
Determined to avoid the frustrations and tensions of the past, Romney's team is taking steps to ensure to that its eventual running mate — and his or her staff — functions as a true extension of his presidential campaign, not as an autonomous political operation of its own. One idea: making sure the vice-presidential hopeful's team includes a number of longtime Romney loyalists.
In conversations with donors, supporters and even campaign staff members, a likely shortlist has emerged — Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, as the two front-runners, and Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin as the dark-horse choices. Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, is considered a less likely possibility, although Romney's wife, Ann, is said to have expressed admiration for her.
There has been plenty of unofficial lobbying, even at this late date. Rubio, of Florida, has emerged as a favorite of many donors, who have recommended him to the campaign as an exciting, surprise pick, but he is now considered a long shot. And while McConnell has pushed for Rubio, he has also discussed the merits of all the various contenders from the Senate, including Portman and Sen. John Thune of South Dakota. (Rove declined to comment on why he likes Rubio.)

Vegetables, nuts, and 'Mediterranean' fare most beneficial, researchers find
MONDAY, April 13 (HealthDay News) -- Vegetables, nuts and the so-called "Mediterranean" diet are heart-friendly, while trans fats and foods with a high glycemic index can harm your heart, say researchers who reviewed 189 studies published between 1950 and 2007.
The studies included 146 prospective cohort studies (which examined past habits of participants) and 43 randomized controlled trials (volunteers were randomly assigned to consume a certain kind of diet).
"The relationship between dietary factors and coronary heart disease has been a major focus of health research for almost half a century," wrote Andrew Mente, of the Population Health Research Institute, and colleagues. But even though there are many published studies on the topic, "the strength of the evidence supporting valid associations has not been evaluated systemically in a single investigation."
When they pooled the findings from the studies and applied a predefined algorithm, Mente and his team identified "strong evidence of a causal relationship for protective factors, including intake of vegetables, nuts and monosaturated fatty acids and Mediterranean, prudent and high-quality dietary patterns, and harmful factors, including intake of trans-fatty acids and foods with a high glycemic index or load and a Western dietary pattern," the researchers wrote.
"Among these dietary exposures, however, only a Mediterranean dietary pattern has been studied in randomized controlled trials and significantly associated with coronary heart disease," they said.
The Mediterranean died is typically loaded with fruits, vegetables, grains and olive oil.
The researchers also found modest evidence of a causal relationship between heart health and several other foods and vitamins, such as fish, omega-3 fatty acids from marine sources, folate, whole grains, alcohol,

The tag Kenbo was born and died in that interview. Thanks Frank.
Frank Shamrock weighs-in on EliteXC Oct. 4ths show featuring his brother Ken Sharmrock return to EliteXC to fight Kimbo Slice.
The tag Kenbo was born and died in that interview. Thanks Frank.
Ken sucks …. but Frank swallows.
franks right
I wish Frank would get serious about fighting and get out of the minor companies. When he's focused he is dangerous.
He can't compete in a top company anymore.
i think he would beat every mw in the ufc besides maybe the top 2 or 3.
I agree with that Roy. But I like when they ask Frank for predictions because he doesn't BS and he knows his stuff.
I pretty much agree with him. If he was a heavyweight I would feel much more comfortable calling him the winner of that fight.
I don't think so. Frank's body is catching up with him. He can compete with Strikeforce fighters but not UFC fighters.
I think I hate you now Kash
