The Pacific Islands Region is comprised of American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, the Northern Mariana Islands, and other U.S. Pacific islands.
What's Hot Now
NOAA Fisheries publishes an interim final rule to establish a limit on purse seine fishing effort in the Effort Limit Area for Purse Seine (ELAPS) for 2015. View the interim final rule and supporting documentation here. This interim final rule is effective on May 21, 2015. A copy of the compliance guide for this interim final rule is available here. Comments on this rule are requested and should be submitted by June 5, 2015.
NOAA Fisheries is launching a new initiative to highlight Species in the Spotlight. While all of our species listed under the Endangered Species Act are valuable and vulnerable, NOAA Fisheries has a new initiative to focus on species across the nation that are most at risk of extinction, and for which we believe a focused effort CAN significantly reduce, stabilize, or reverse their rate of decline by 2020. Here in the Pacific Islands Region, Hawaiian monk seals and Pacific leatherbacks have been chosen as two of the eight species nationally to be "in the spotlight." We can't recover these species alone. For more information on the "Species in the Spotlight" initiative, see here and find out what you can do to help!
NOAA Fisheries releases a Recovery Outline for the 15 Indo-Pacific threatened coral species. The Recovery Outline is an interim guidance document to help direct recovery efforts and recommends specific high priority actions to stabilize and recover the species. For more information see here.

NOAA Fisheries has proposed to reclassify the humpback whale into 14 distinct population segments under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Protection and restoration efforts over the past 40 years have led to an increase in numbers and growth rates for humpback whales in many areas. The proposed rule finds that ten of those 14 populations do not warrant ESA listing. NOAA Fisheries is opening up a 90 day public comment period for this proposed rule. During this time, NOAA Fisheries welcomes public comments and any new information to ensure that our final determination is based on the best available scientific and commercial information.

NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (i.e., the Services) have issued a 12-month petition finding, proposed rule, and public hearing notice regarding the status of the green sea turtle under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Services found that the green turtle is composed of 11 Distinct Population Segments (DPS) that qualify as "species" for listing as endangered or threatened under the ESA, and we propose to list eight as threatened and three as endangered. Although we find that the Hawaiian green turtle population (referred to in the proposed rule as the Central North Pacific population) does constitute a DPS, we do not find removing this population from the ESA warranted at this time. All green sea turtles in the Pacific Islands Region are protected by the ESA and remain protected under the proposed rule.

Internal Affairs is a 1990 American crime thriller film set in Los Angeles about the police department's Internal Affairs Division.
Directed by Mike Figgis, the film stars Richard Gere as Dennis Peck, a suave womanizer, clever manipulator, and crooked cop who uses his fellow officers as pawns for his own nefarious purposes while showing a tender side as a devoted father. Andy García plays Raymond Avilla, the Internal Affairs agent who becomes obsessed with catching Peck when he suspects that Peck is not the poster boy police officer that the precinct has made him out to be.
Patrolmen Dennis Peck and Van Stretch arrest a drug pusher and his girlfriend. The girlfriend resists and Stretch viciously assaults both of them. Outside, patrolman Dorian Fletcher sees a man running towards him; he shoots him. Peck discovers that the man had no weapon; Dorian is shocked and repentant, but Peck proceeds to take a knife out of his boot, clean off his prints, and place it in the dead man's hand. Dorian tries to stop Peck, who insists that cops watch each other's back.
Raymond Avila joins the Internal Affairs Division (IAD) of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and is partnered with Amy Wallace. They are initially assigned to investigate Van Stretch's conduct from the drug-bust. During a mandatory interrogation, it is discovered that Stretch has committed three code 181's for excessive force in less than ten months, has an uncontrollable substance abuse issue, and is a racist. After interviewing his wife Penny, who shows signs of domestic abuse, they start looking closely at his financial holdings, which suggest something suspicious.
Stretch's partner Peck, so-called role model of the LAPD, seems to have no clue about his partner's private life. Yet, as Stretch comes under pressure from Avila to sort himself out, certain issues about Peck begin to surface. An altercation between Peck and Dorian over the arrest of a prostitute/informant is witnessed by several patrolmen, and other officers express their distaste for Peck and his techniques. Stretch is pressured to provide evidence against Peck in return for immunity from prosecution. While this fails, Avila finds a type of ally in Dorian, who shows disgust with the similarities between Avila and Peck but agrees to help. Peck also insinuates making advances on Kathleen, Raymond's wife, if Avila persists in his investigation. Raymond's marriage is starting to wilt due to his increased obsession with the case.
Stretch, pushed to the breaking point, calls his wife and tells her he intends to testify against Peck. Penny, who is having sex with Peck at the time, urges Van not to talk to anyone before she speaks with him first.
Peck chooses to have Van Stretch killed. Sometime later, he and Stretch are on patrol during the graveyard shift in Huntington Park. While heading through an industrial sector, they run across an abandoned blue van. Everything appears routine, until Stretch opens the sliding door and takes a shotgun blast point blank in the chest. As the shooter emerges from the vehicle, it is clear that this was a hit staged by Peck, who congratulates the killer, and then kills him. He requests assistance to a 187 on a peace officer when the blue van suddenly speeds away, indicating a witness to the crime. Van, amazingly still alive, begs for help. Peck instead finishes him off by strangling him, making it appear to the arriving paramedics that Van died in his arms.
After making efforts to track down the witness to Van Stretch's murder, a sting is set up to catch him. However, things get bloody after information of the sting is somehow leaked, and Avila and Wallace notice a sudden response from two LAPD SWAT tactical units, who shoot on sight. The witness panics, shooting and killing Dorian, before he is taken out by a police sniper. As he dies in Avila's arms, he identifies Peck as the man behind Stretch's murder.
Peck meets with Kathleen, insinuating to be IAD himself, to ask about Raymond's behavior at home and other innocent, on-the-surface questions. The real intent is so Raymond, who is "covertly" following Dennis, sees him with Kathleen, thus establishing that Dennis can manipulate the game to his advantage. The episode puts Raymond "on tilt" as he goes back to the office, slams a chair down and is sent home. Entering the elevator he is confronted by Dennis, who beats him up and throws a pair of panties in his face, boasting that he bedded Raymond's wife earlier.
Raymond's rage boils over, and he goes looking for Kathleen, finding her at a restaurant with a client from the gallery where she works. Raymond proves he is totally off the hook when he repeatedly asks Kathleen "who did you have lunch with?" When she does not reply, he reveals that he knows. He then punches the client, slaps Kathleen to the floor and screams obscenities in Spanish at the other patrons as he storms out.
The two (forcefully) make up the following morning when Kathleen convinces Raymond that she would never sleep with Peck.
Avila and Wallace's continued pressure on Peck's family bears fruit when Peck's wife reveals the name of one of his associates, Steven Arrocas, which also happens to be the last name of two recent homicide victims. (Earlier, Arrocas hired Peck to murder his parents for business purposes.) Wallace and Avila know this is far more than a coincidence.
Arrocas walks in on Peck making love to his (Arrocas') wife. Peck tries to goad Arrocas into killing her, but Arrocas accidentally shoots Peck in the foot instead. Avila and Wallace arrive; when they split up and clear the house, Avila finds the bodies of the Arrocases in the bedroom. Peck bursts out from behind some garbage cans in the garage and shoots Wallace in the flank, then flees. Wallace is rushed to the hospital; her fate is not revealed, though the doctor says she stands a chance. Avila, fearing for his wife's safety, returns home to find Peck about to rape her. Avila holds Peck at gun-point; Peck pulls his knife out of his boot and lunges at Raymond, who shoots him dead, and then tries to comfort his terrorized wife.

Many times clients come to us with complex planning issues that we would like to solve for. Here is a good example of how one couple achieved their goals and objectives through advanced planning using a well thought out process to get them there.
Jerry and Susan Carter are both 63. They own and operate a very profitable manufacturing business in a small town. Jerry and Susan spend about $650,000 a year, giving generously to family ($200,000/yr.) and their favorite charitable causes ($150,000/yr.). Although the business provides significant taxable income of over $5M a year, Jerry and Susan have been re-investing excess cash back into the business to keep it thriving through the latest recession. With assets totaling over $60M, a growing business and an income tax bill surpassing $2M/yr., their estate tax and income tax exposure is quickly increasing.
The primary planning goals are to:
Provide for the financial security of the surviving spouse.
Maintain Carter Manufacturing as a viable company in their hometown after they exit the business.
Maintain their customary lifestyle and gifting. This should take approx. $650,000 annually after taxes.
Eliminate or reduce estate taxes.
Maintain adequate gifting to their children and grandchildren. Their main priority is providing funds for their grandchildren's educations.
Maximize the inheritance they leave to their children and grandchildren.
Establish a family foundation for lifetime and future family charitable giving.
The solutions are noted in the plan design.

One trip to California saved Charles Martin's life.
The 27-year-old heavyweight had run into trouble as a youth, but relocated to the West Coast to join the All-American Heavyweights, based out of The Rock Gym in Carson.
Colorado. Arizona. No matter the location, Martin was bad news.
"I was leading a bad life," Martin said. "I wasn't the most positive person that I am now. But everybody grows. We're made to evolve and get better and be better than we were yesterday."
"Toting pistols, riding around drunk, shooting at people ... a lot of crazy stuff.
Martin said he was never arrested, but came close.
His life turned around in the program, started by Michael King, who was behind successful television shows such as "Jeopardy," "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show".
The All-American Heavyweights' mission was to produce the highest caliber boxers in competition and character.
"One of my friends told me about the program and I didn't believe him because he said they were training and getting paid," Martin said. "A week later, I decided to give it a try. It took me about six months to get out here. They flew me out and they liked what they saw."
Martin, who is trained by 1984 Olympic gold medal Olympian Henry Tillman, is now signed with the promotional company King Sports Worldwide. He will be in the main event of Wednesday night's first "Boxing At Barker" card, from the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport.
Martin will meet fellow undefeated heavyweight Alex Flores (14-0, 12 KOs) in a 10-round fight for the vacant NABO heavyweight title.
"What we want to do is bring boxing back to the basics," King said. "You have to have great young fighters. It is not outrageous to say that Manny (Pacquiao), Floyd (Mayweather), Sergio (Martinez) and (Miguel) Cotto will be retired in three-four years ... So who's coming up next?"
The card that King has established is an intriguing one, with several former champions.
Former WBO middleweight champion Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (29-1-1, 11 KOs) meets Fulgencio Zuniga (26-8-1, 23 KOs) in a super middleweight bout.
Former IBO welterweight champion Chris Van Heerden (20-1-1, 11 KOs) takes on Ray Narh (26-4, 21 KOs) and undefeated cruiserweight Yunier Dorticos (16-0, 16 KOs) takes on Eric Fields (24-2, 16 KOs).

The Baguettes of War
Inside the Middle East's defiant kitchens.
- By Anna Badkhen<p> Anna Badkhen is the author, most recently, of The World Is a Carpet. She is working on Walking with Abel, a book about transience. </p>
This winter, the kitchens of the Middle East took to the streets.
In Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen, men demonstrated wearing frying-pan basinets. Tin-pot cervellieres. Water-bucket shakos. The green, plastic chain mail of a wastebasket. A young man trussed a rumpled trio of empty water bottles to his head with a swatch of torn bed linen. A protester in Sanaa taped two baguettes and an unleavened pancake of chapati to his skull.
None of these impromptu helmets would have stopped a bullet. Few would have softened the vicious blow of a rock hurled in anger. They were not so much body armor as expressions of grassroots desperation. Yet there was nothing laughable about men who had dressed for combat in their sculleries and, taking a page from a Palestinian cookbook, dabbed their keffiyehs in table vinegar and sniffed onions to counter tear gas. Their ad-lib battle-rattle bespoke a kind of sincerity, an innocence of purpose. And it was apropos: The high cost of food was one reason people protested in the Middle East and Maghreb. Theirs was the purest kind of rebellion: kitchen defiance.
In a region where no one can guarantee that your next meal will be something you want, that your next meal will be there when you are hungry, or even that you will live to have a next meal, stepping into a kitchen is stepping into hallowed ground. Each time you break bread becomes a communion. Scraped from catastrophe and indigence, shared with equal magnanimity at weddings and funerals, food in the Middle East is the most elemental expression of humanity. Snapshots of men wearing their kitchens — and, indeed, their food — to confront tanks and tear-gas cannons offered a genuine glimpse into what it is like to live in the ragged margins of the world, not just to die there.
In his African travelogue Dark Star Safari, writer Paul Theroux describes a sudden invitation to a family lunch in Harare: "I was a stranger, and sharing a meal is peacemaking, so including me at their table represented a profound ceremony of acceptance and goodwill." Perhaps that was why the protesters who donned pots and bread as body armor in the Middle East this winter conveyed a tender integrity, a disarming largesse. These frustrated, trampled, disenfranchised men were inadvertently welcoming us — complete strangers, observers from halfway across the world — into the sancta of their kitchens.
I have been a guest in such kitchens, in Gaza and Iraq, in the West Bank and Afghanistan. Most of my hosts, like more than one-third of the world's population, lived on less than $2 a day. Many, like 42 million people worldwide, had been forced from their homes by war or ethnic cleansing. All muddled along in indifferent autocracies, failed states, or conflict zones. They shared their grief and their food with equal generosity.
Their defiance of death outside was the measure of our frail humanity as they insisted that I eat, eat, and eat some more — because I had lived another day, at least as far as this meal, and so had they, and that was something to celebrate.
My journeys through some of the world's most destitute geographies brim with such hard-earned bills of fare. There was the dolma an Iraqi dissident's wife taught me to cook while American B-52s dropped 500-pound bombs on her city. Nargiz's enormous sundials of naan that shone from the clay floor of my first Afghan home 10 years ago. The paper-thin crepes of taboon that Bassam, my Jordanian friend — and, once, a wannabe Palestinian terrorist — used to scoop bits of yogurt-soaked lamb at an Amman restaurant its Palestinian owners had nostalgically named al Quds, after the Arabic word for Jerusalem. The eggplant stew and tabbouleh at the Baghdad house of my friend Hala, who had adopted me, a lost-looking foreigner, in the same motherly way she adopts everyone: her son's college classmates, bomb victims with ruptured organs and mangled limbs, teenage war widows.
And there was that masgouf dinner in a tiny, windowless Baghdad kitchen.
THE KITCHEN WAS A SLUM. Archipelagos of black mold smudged its pale-green walls. A small table draped in a tablecloth of torn pink plastic wobbled between a four-burner stove fueled by a rusty propane tank and a fetid, squat toilet from which the rats came out at night. The only other furniture was a lone shelf on which rice, flour, and tea sat in identical bags. There was no light; the dozen women and girls who shared the kitchen had to guess the bags' contents by feel.
The women were runaways. They had been raped, battered, or forced into prostitution, sometimes all of the above. Accused of bringing dishonor to their relatives by having suffered abuse, in line with the warped logic of their ultraconservative patriarchal society, they had then been rejected or threatened with death by their families. The grimy kitchen in an anonymous, two-bedroom apartment behind an unmarked plywood door was their sanctuary, part of a small, clandestine network of shelters for the countless but commonly overlooked casualties of the war in Iraq: victims of systematic domestic and sexual abuse that has proliferated since the U.S. invasion in 2003.
Outside, firefights and bombings concussed the broken capital. Inside, the women told me their stories and showed me their scars: cigarette burns; long, narrow lesions, as if from lashing. They cried. My stomach grabbed; I took notes.
And then, abruptly, it was dinnertime.
Someone felt through the kitchen shelf and found the tea; someone else brought out some oranges. I rinsed bunches of cilantro under suspect tap water. A 16-year-old girl — her parents had sold her into marriage at 12 to an older man who soon abandoned her — ladled tomato salad onto a plastic plate. (Iraqi tomatoes: the best in the world, succulent, sweet, the shape and color of a human heart.) Someone brought fresh masgouf: carp from the Tigris, half-grilled, half-smoked over hot coals. Someone switched on the TV in one of the bedrooms and tuned the channel to Egyptian disco videos.
Dance tunes, synthesizer-heavy, cut through the squalor and the heartache that hung over the kitchen. We sliced yellow onions and danced barefoot on speckled floor tiles. We cha-cha'd with the colander. We raised knives and spoons to our mouths like microphones and lip-synced. We bit into the oranges and laughed when the juice ran down our chins. In that miasmic kitchen in the heart of a war zone, we were alive, we were defiant.
THOSE NOT INTIMATE with the world of unspeakable poverty, war, and injustice that girdles the Global South may find it difficult to understand how it is possible to derive joy from food in the middle of tragedy. The discrepancy is too jarring. "It wasn't possible, just not possible, to have been where we'd been before and to be where we were now, all in the same afternoon," Michael Herr observed in Dispatches, his chronicle of the Vietnam War. Herr had just returned from documenting the slaughter at Hue, one of the Tet offensive's longest and bloodiest battles — and now he was eating hamburgers and drinking shot after shot of brandy at the press center in Da Nang.
But how better to tally our losses and give thanks for having made it through another day than to eat? What more fitting way to challenge depravity and death than to join the women whom war has maimed as they dance late into the night in the kitchen of their Baghdad shelter, and laugh, and eat grilled fish, and toast with sweet tea to having pulled through?
In a part of the world where millions of people live hand to mouth, how appropriate that dissent could take the form of strapping some bread to your forehead, grabbing some kitchen utensils for a shield, loading up on onion bulbs, and going out to serve your pharaonic, self-indulgent, blubbery government a generous helping of rebellion for dinner.
What happened after the protesters left the streets at the end of the day? News photographs did not document the homecomings. But I imagine that when the men returned from the streets, their wives and sisters and mothers embraced them. And then, the women must have reclaimed the kitchen utensils and used them to make supper with whatever food they had at hand.
I picture the wife of the Bread Helmet Man carefully unwinding the tape from his scalp. I picture the couple sitting down cross-legged on a striped mattress in a cramped, hard-used apartment that smells of fried onions and lentils and leaky sewage pipes, as I have done so many times in the Middle East. Their overcoats hang from bare nails next to a faux-silk tapestry depicting an aerial view of Mecca's Grand Mosque. Maybe a baby wails in an apartment upstairs. Maybe teenage boys yell after a stray soccer ball outside the small, low windows.
And then, I imagine, the couple dips the — not stale, no; battle-hardened — baguettes in runny fried eggs, or hummus, or the sweet juice of a tomato salad, and rejoices in having survived one more day on the edge of the world, where governments are callous, poverty is inescapable, and every meal, no matter how scant, is a celebration.

What might have happened to Apple if its top executives had not supported investment in iPods?
One of the main factors that brought Apple back from near oblivion was its ability to produce, market, and sell IT products such as the iPod. If Apple's top executives did not have the foresight to view the MP3 players as a competitive advantage, then chances are the company would not have made a strong comeback in the highly competitive electronics market.

This government has been by any measure the most secretive and punitive of so-called whistle-blowers and leakers of any modern American federal government. Not only that, but this government has carried over GW's policies that 'progressives' screamed endlessly about and in most cases extended them. This of course includes our wars, so-called torture, infringement on citizen's civil rights, continuing to enable and subsidize too big to fail corporations [from bailouts to tax credits], not criminally prosecuting white collar crime [even the Bush administration had more criminal white collar prosecutions], the whole nine yards.

This man Obama is nice to gays. He says nice things. He got rid of don't ask, don't tell. He says he's for gay marriage [in the pat, he said MANY times he wasn't], he appears in 'it gets better' videos. This is all nice, I congratulate him. But in most other areas [NON-GAY issues], the man is a phony and a fraud by ANY MEASURE. But of course the American [and foreign] 'progressives / leftist will continue to give him a big, fat pass because he says a lot of nice things and well, he's you know what.

OBD II P0440 Error Code Explained
By its full name OBD code p0440 is an indication, a symptom that something is happening to your vehicle's EVAP system.
For those who don't have so much experience in the mechanical field, EVAP stands for Evaporative Emissions, including components like fuel tank, gas cap, canister purge and vent solenoid, the storage carbon canister, and the fuel tank pressure sensor.
Other common codes: P0441, P0442, P0456, P0457, P0455, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0450, P0451, P0452, P0453, P0496
On short and in a simple formulation, this is the system that impedes fuel vapors to reach the atmosphere so p0440 is the code that alerts drivers that functioning properly with this system. And the functionality of this code indicating that something is happening with your vehicle doesn't stop here. It can also be a sign that your car is experiencing a major leak.
How p0440 Is Detected
This particular code is signaled to drivers by the illumination of the Check Engine Light. If that weren't the case and drivers wouldn't receive such a straightforward signal they might not even be aware of some dysfunctional situation because in most cases no drive-ability problems appear.
There might be noticeable just a faint fuel odor coming from the EVAP system. This means that fuel vapors are released into the atmosphere instead of heading to the engine as they would normally do for creating the combustion process. So if this unparticular smell appears in your car don't ignore it because it's a symptom of the P0440 code.
The most common factors that make the Check Engine Light illuminate and attention drivers about this code are:
- Improperly installed fuel cap,
- absence of fuel cap or any other damages of this component,
- the storage carbon canister is damaged/split or plugged,
- the purge solenoid is failing,
- the fuel tank presents a defection,
- the evaporation vent/purge valves are defective,
- the fuel tank sending unit gasket presents a defection,
- and torn EVAP hose.
What to Do in Case of p0440
One simple thing to perform is to write down the freeze frame information, which is obtained after retrieving the code. This is for ensuring the baseline of any repairs that are going to take place.
The first solution and the most simple of all is to remove the fuel cap, to install it correctly and with care, clear the code and then after driving for a day check if the light illuminates again. If it does then the fuel cap is not damaged and it is correctly installed. So it's time for another step implying a thorough inspection of the EVAP system for any holes, misplacement's or cuts in hoses. Other possible solutions might be the replacement of the purge valve or of the sensor.
These were only the simple solution that can be handled by everyone, not only a professional mechanic. To test for leaks drivers have to turn to a professional who will use a smoke machine to see if there are any. Or he will use specialized software to check the decaying rate for the vacuum. There is a leak when it decays much faster so it means that the p0440 is enforceable, which also leads us to the conclusion that sometimes is better to have professional people handling your vehicle.

On June 7, 2012, Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) issued much-anticipated final, temporary, and proposed regulations under section 7874, which provides rules governing so-called "inversion transactions." In an effort to provide certainty with respect to the determination of "substantial business activities" in a foreign country for purposes of the statutory exception of section 7874(a)(2)(B)(iii), the temporary and proposed regulations have effectively nullified that exception to the application of the inversion rules. In this regard, the new regulations adopt a bright-line rule for purposes of the substantial business activities determination that few multinational companies could be expected to satisfy. Moreover, the final regulations have made several changes with respect to the rules concerning the treatment of options and "downstream transactions" for purposes of the ownership and acquisition tests of the statute.
Section 7874 provides rules for two types of inversion transactions. First, if a foreign corporation acquires substantially all of the properties held by a domestic corporation, and the shareholders of the domestic corporation receive at least 80% of the vote or value of the stock of the acquiring foreign corporation, the acquiring foreign corporation generally will be treated as a domestic corporation for federal tax purposes. Second, if the shareholders of the domestic corporation receive at least 60%, but less than 80%, of the vote or value of the acquiring foreign corporation's stock, then, among other consequences, the use of the acquired domestic corporation's tax attributes (if any) generally will be limited for a 10-year period.

See The Memories of 2014 Movie Video and Screen Awards Coming Soon.
List Coming Soon
One of the most talk about weeks in Birmingham came to an end with an epic After Party at the Marco Pierre White restaurant at the Cube, with a VIP list of how is who in the UK Black celebrity world the citizens of Birmingham rub shoulders with their favourite stars. This was a combination of the week's activities which saw the Black International Film Festival the largest Black History Month event in Britain launch at Cineworld with a locally made film Inside Out. The film was so well received that an additional screen was hosted by Film Birmingham to facilitate those who could not get into the premiere. This year also saw the launch of BIFF Digital, a new concept in film festival where you will be able to participate at home or where ever you are in the film festival. Mr Alexander founder of the film festival stated this year was a trail to see how the audience and film makers would receive this new idea. We have plans to develop this idea further so there can be live interaction before and after the films are shown. The awards show was also a great success. Recipients of awards were trailed at the diamond encrusted MVisa award all in keeping with the #DiamondEditionMvisa theme
This year The Black International Film Festival has teamed up with Film Birmingham to bring you a more exciting Film Festival. We are planning more daily screens of independent films and special screens of some general releases, Ms Sindy Campbell of Film Birmingham said 'it's a pleasure to be supporting the Film Festival for a 2nd year'. The Film Festival is now part the City of Birmingham's festivals calendar, a new initiative by the City to promote festivals within the City's Arts and culture program of events. The Black international Film Festival is the largest Black History Month event in the UK, now in its 8th year. The Festival is continuing to grow and expand its reach internationally especially on the African continent and across the USA. We are encouraging film makers from across the region's Universities and College's and film making enthusiasts to submit films of all varieties as we continue to expand our platforms and programs.
BIRMINGHAM MANAGED to overshadow London when it staged a glittering awards night for a diamond edition of the Black International Film Festival (BIFF) that was attended by a host of A-list stars. It was a triumph for director and founder Dean Alexander who has resisted constant pressure from the capital for the past eight years to continue holding the festival – and its highlight, the much-celebrated Music, Video and Screen Awards (MViSAs) – in his home city.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Wells Fargo Center
Sat., Dec. 21. wellsfargocenterphilly.com
Overall vibe: Heartwarming Christmas-themed visuals and storytelling to progressive arena-style rock.
Most memorable moment: One word: Pyrotechnics.
Scene stealer: That same word. In fact, the heat from the flames could be felt in the floor seats up to 50 feet away. The artistry involved in designing—and yes, orchestrating—that kind of fuel-filled extravaganza was extremely impressive, even more so than the sounds and spectacle of the TSO itself.
Grudge Match, starring Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Hart
Opens in local theaters Christmas Day. grudgematchmovie.com
Overall vibe: Color me shocked! The rapidly paced writing, perfect for these two old wise guys, really made this geriatric boxing movie quite funny. And it's set in Pittsburgh, so there's that.
Most memorable moment: The quick-drawn cell phone frenzy. If outlaws in the Wild West drew their revolvers as quickly as people whip out their phones to capture a fight, the American population would be a lot smaller today.
Scene stealer: Kim Basinger is still gorgeous. And not in that "She's had work" way, but in the "actual good living and fabulous bone structure" way. Also? Kevin fucking Hart. I'll admit, I was bit of a hater at first, even by Philadelphians' standards, but this guy is freaking hysterical as local promoter Dante Slate. So glad he's one of us.

Prep boys soccer: Glacier Peak 2, Shorecrest 1
Michael Mikusky got Glacier Peak on the board quickly, scoring in just the seventh minute on a Branson Corwin assist. Then the Grizzlies almost pulled away, nearly scoring on a penalty kick in the 20th minute that was saved by Shorecrest goalkeeper Sam Schober.
The Scots managed to tie it up just before halftime on a Chris Iacolucci goal. Alex Chang had the assist.
The final goal of the game came just after the break. The Grizzlies had a free kick on the left side from 30 to 35 yards out. Peter Vizzoni swung it in. Schober came out to try and clear the ball, with Glacier Peak's offense moving in. The ball came straight down and Matt Johnston was able to put it in the net.
Shorecrest turned up the pressure the rest of the second half, but the Grizzlies were able to hang on with the help of keeper Lucas MacMillan.
"There were a lot of long balls that we were either able to deal with with a header, or Lucas was able to deal with at some point," said Glacier Peak head coach Shannon Murray.
Murray was glad to get the win in what has been a very competetive league.
"We can beat each other up all year. ... We've kind of gone through the gamut. We've got three tough opponents ahead of us, but were in a position to see where we finish in a good spot.
"It's a very competetive season. It's fun that way. I like it."
At Shoreline Stadium
Goals--Michael Mikulsky (GP), Chris Iacolucci (SC), Matt Johnston (GP). Assists--Branson Corwin (GP), Alex Chang (SC), Peter Vizzoni (GP). Goalkeepers--Glacier Peak: Lucas MacMillan. Shorecrest: Sam Schober. Records--Glacier Peak 7-2-1 league, 7-5-1 overall. Shorecrest 6-1-3, 8-2-3.

Boosters repulse Energy; Gin Kings nose out Bolts
Henry Sims isn't the same high-energy guy Petron Blaze once had but he can still deliver the goods.
Sims scored 23 points on top of 13 rebounds and Alex Cabagnot added 20 as Petron dumped Barako Bull, 88-77, to clinch a quarterfinal spot in the PBA Commissioner's Cup last night at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Boosters bounced back from a forgettable outing that saw Meralco import Eric Dawson score a season-high 57 points as the Bolts won, 102-92, in Sims' debut.
"It's unfair for him to play back-to-back games right after he arrived. I know he will soon be comfortable and more involved in the scheme of things," said Petron coach Olsen Racela. "Henry could get back his legs in time."
Vernon Macklin dropped in a layup with 7.9 seconds left and gave Barangay Ginebra a thrilling 91-90 win over Meralco in the second game.
Dawson tried to save the night for the Bolts on the other end but his runner bounced high off the rim, allowing the Gin Kings to chalk up the longest win streak of the conference at six games.
"I told them that winning six straight games is not impossible. I don't think the law of averages will catch up on us. It's not in our character," said Ginebra coach Alfrancis Chua.
Macklin finished with 31 points and 12 boards while Mac Baracael pumped in 10 of his 17 points for the Kings, who moved up with seven victories in 12 outings in a tie with the Boosters.
The Bolts, who got 27 points and 14 rebounds from Dawson this time, fell to 6-6.
A low-post workhorse and stolid defender in the NBA Developmental League, Sims started to loosen up by forcing former LA Laker center DJ Mbenga out of his comfort zone.
"He's definitely not (Renaldo) Balkman. But Sims is bigger and can give us a different dimension," said Racela after the Boosters registered their seventh victory in 12 games.
The 6-foot-6 Balkman was banned from the league for his unsportsmanlike outburst against his teammates.
"I have to admit that it's hard to replace Balkman's energy. But we don't want to dwell on the past," added Racela.
The scores:
First Game
PETRON BLAZE 88—Sims 23, Cabagnot 20, Lassiter 14, Santos 11, Fajardo 6, Lutz 6, Miranda 6, Washington 2, Sison 0, Faundo 0, Lanete 0, Pena 0.
BARAKO BULL 77—Mbenga 14, Maliksi 13, Anthony 11, Pennisi 11, Monfort 8, Seigle 8, Urbiztondo 5, Macapagal 3, Duncil 2, Intal 2, Kramer 0.
Quarters: 22-17, 40-38, 67-55, 88-77
Second Game
GINEBRA 91—Macklin 31, Baracael 17, Tenorio 17, Labagala 10, Hatfield 10, Ellis 4, Jensen 2, Espiritu 0, Maierhofer 0, Mamaril 0, Helterbrand 0, Raymundo 0.
MERALCO 90—Dawson 27, Buenafe 19, Ross 11, Cardona 10, Salvacion 9, Hugnatan 6, Hodge 4, Timberlake 4, Vanlandingham 0, Reyes 0.
Quarters: 18-24, 44-43, 71-64, 91-90

Krishna, Kanhaiya, Govind, Gopal, Nandlal, Brijesh, Kanhaa… As the name suggests, Krishna is an endeavour to create harmony and a blissful environment of peace amidst this present-day scenario of unrest, turmoil and stress. In build-up to the Janmashtami celebrations, composer-vocalist Shankar Mahadevan will take to the stage to regale both music connoisseurs and Krishna devotees with devotional compositions at a special concert by Banyan Tree.
Speaking of his Saturday concert, the star performer who has enthralled audiences with the magic of his captivating voice for over a decade now, creating a huge fan following across the globe, told dna, "We will feature a unique presentation of some specially created compositions on the theme of Krishna — The Source of Eternal Inspiration. I am hoping the deeply devotional songs will surely work magic to create the feeling of tremendous joy as well as inner calm and bliss."
Mahadevan spoke of being attracted to the spiritual side to Krishna. "There is the playful child and the lover, but there is also the one who dispenses wisdom during the Mahabharata to Arjun in the form of the Gita."
He will be accompanied by a group of very talented musicians on tabla, guitar and keyboard. And for the very first time, both his sons Siddhartha and Shivam will also join him for select songs. Not only is the line-up going to include traditional bhajans and Carnatic compositions, but it will also have qawwalis, thumris, abhangs as well as jazz and rock elements.
Mahesh Babu of Banyan Tree said, "We are privileged to present Krishna with focus on a creative theme to the connoisseurs and music lovers of Mumbai. Krishna as a creative theme seems like a common thread across the country beyond the boundaries of language, caste and even religion. We hope this endeavour will drench souls and minds of music lovers in devotion, inspiration, peace and bliss and help them rejoice in the rich cultural glory of India on the special occasion of Krishna Janmashtami."
(The concert is on Saturday, August 9, 7pm at Shanmukhananda auditorium in Sion.)
