Governor Kasich asks Cleveland State student board member to quit following punch accusation
CLEVELAND - Ohio Gov. John Kasich has asked a student representative to Cleveland State University's governing board to resign because he was accused of punching a police officer last year.
The Plain Dealer reports that 27-year-old Alexander Butler has not yet responded to the Aug. 14 letter from Kasich's office. His attorney declined to comment.
Butler, who had served in the Army in Iraq, was appointed to a non-voting position on the university's board of trustees in October 2011.
A few weeks after applying, he was stopped for driving erratically. The police report said he punched an officer at the station. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and was put on probation.
Butler apologized in a letter to Kasich's office in November.

@Mishima: Yeah, a little disappointed in the drop turning out to be so high. I've drawn a somewhat arbitrary 0-6mm drop range for myself when it comes to running/cross-training shoes.
@Cettu: That's actually a pretty creative method of measuring the drop, and is probably at least as accurate the "bar clamp & ruler" method Pete used to use before he got the fancy digital calipers. I might try that with some of my old shoes from the late 1990s... I've always been curious as to whether differentials were really so much higher back in the day.

HSBC Holdings, the top arranger of debt issues in the Middle East so far this year, sees a flurry of bond offerings in the second half, including from prime sovereign-linked Abu Dhabi names yet to tap the market in 2012, a top executive said.
July 2, 2012 4:57 by Reuters
HSBC Holdings, the top arranger of debt issues in the Middle East so far this year, sees a flurry of bond offerings in the second half, including from prime sovereign-linked Abu Dhabi names yet to tap the market in 2012, a top executive said.
Debt issuance from the Gulf Arab region has held up well so far this year, as a turn to Islamic bonds – with their specific liquidity pool – and strong local liquidity helped confound volatile markets which stymied other emerging market borrowers.
During May, the only two dollar-denominated bonds issued in emerging EMEA were both from the Middle East, while total bond issuance from the Middle East in the first half year was up 51 percent on the same period last year at $16.9 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data.
HSBC expects to arrange more debt issues in the remainder of the year, as issuers look to international bond markets to meet their capital needs.
"Can we see a dozen (deals in our pipeline) materialise in next six months? Yes, it's likely," Georges Elhedery, head of global markets, Middle East and North Africa, at the UK-based lender told Reuters in an interview.
"If you look at places like Abu Dhabi, in the GRE (government-related entity) space, we haven't seen much issuance this year. We would expect in the second half of the year some of those entities will tap the market."
Abu Dhabi state-linked entities such as International Petroleum Investment Co (IPIC) – which issued a three-tranche $3.75 billion bond last October – and sovereign fund Mubadala are frequent issuers in the global debt markets but have stayed away so far this year.
HSBC topped the Middle Eastern debt capital markets league table for the first half of 2012, arranging $2.23 billion of bonds and sukuk, according to Thomson Reuters data. The lender was followed in the rankings by Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank.
One trait of Gulf bond issuance in recent months has been the high allocation to regional investors, both as a result of high liquidity in local markets and the general reluctance of international investors to deploy capital in uncertain times.
For instance, a $650 million sukuk from Dubai's state-owned Jebel Ali Free Zone last month was 65 percent placed within the MENA region and 64 percent of the total with banks.
Given the underdeveloped pension and insurance sectors in the Gulf, banks are by far the largest buyers of bond and sukuk debt, meaning local demand is reliant on lenders stepping up.
"If you look at the United Arab Emirates alone, bank deposits have increased by around 80 billion dirhams ($21.8 billion) this year, while lending has mildly decreased. So banks are sitting on much bigger cash piles," Elhedery said.
Impending guidelines on debt exposures at UAE banks – under which lending to UAE governments and their non-commercial entities will be capped at 100 percent of a bank's capital base and at 25 percent for lending to individual borrowers – are a factor which could influence the thinking of banks in the emirates towards buying bonds.
Should there be a deleveraging of their bond portfolios by UAE banks currently over the limit – a category which includes Emirates NBD, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, according to a Deutsche Bank note from April – Elhedery said HSBC could be a buyer.
"We do have a trading team on the ground to trade the secondary market and they are always looking at interesting opportunities. So if there are bonds being offloaded as part of some new regulations, we will look at it as part of our normal course of business," Elhedery said.
International investors remain interested in some top quality regional names, especially Saudi Arabian issuers, Elhedery said.
Offerings from Saudi borrowers are rare but, as exemplified by Saudi Electricity Co in March – when it attracted $17.7 billion of demand for its $1.75 billion sukuk – they are highly sought after.
"We would like to see the international market in Saudi grow because investor appetite globally for Saudi assets is very strong," said Elhedery.

The name fits perfectly: posh suits the tony Clayton locale, the preppy-dressed, baby-boom clientele and the narrow brick-and-ivy courtyard (great for outdoor eating during summer months). And Nosh because this is real-deal, New York deli food: piles of pastrami, corned beef or chopped liver smeared with slaw and kraut, sandwiched on rye with a nice dill pickle on the side. If your tastes skew goy, there's a tuna melt, a "Garden Gobbles" sandwich tantamount to Thanksgiving dinner on bread and chichi soups such as white bean chicken chili and lobster bisque. Service is friendly and speedy -- and you can wash it all down with an honest-to-goodness root beer float.

After obtaining a college degree and working in other areas of the arts, I began working in stained glass in the early 1980's for production studios in Richmond, VA.
Soon my interest became primarily focused on the restoration of art glass windows. I was then introduced to artist & restorer Jack Cushen in New York, where I worked with him on various projects. This began my serious involvement in stained glass conservation.
For over 15 years my studio has been solely dedicated to the conservation of stained & leaded glass windows.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 18, 2003 -- Chemically speaking, hair and wool are alike. That may surprise the sheep, but the fact is both wool and hair are composed of protein called keratin. Fingernails and rhinoceros horns are made of keratin too, but Louis Kirschenbaum of Kingston, a professor of chemistry at the University of Rhode Island, hasnt researched them. He does, however, know a great deal about hair and wool.
In fact, the Worshipful Company of Dyers will recognize him for his research on wool and other textiles next month in London. Kirschenbaum and his Australian collaborator Keith Millington of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Textile and Fibre Technology will receive the Dyers annual research medal. About a third of the current members of the Dyers Guild which dates back to 1188 --are engaged in the dyeing or chemical industries.
The researchers were chosen for the award for their paper "Detection of hydroxyl radicals in photoirradiated wool, cotton, nylon, and polyester fabrics using a fluorescent probe." While the title is quite a mouthful, the upshot is the two men are trying to discover exactly how textiles, in particular wool, yellow or degrade when exposed to the sun. To ensure that yellowing doesnt occur, some sheep are actually kept indoors their entire lives!
The rascals responsible for yellowing are hydroxyl radicals. Electrons like to be paired, noted the URI chemist. However, these free radicals ones with one or more unpaired electrons are formed by a chemical reaction when the wool is exposed to sunlight. And these radicals like to attack things.
The URI professor worked with Millington during his 2000-2001 sabbatical in Australia while his wife Susan Kirschenbaum, an experimental psychologist with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, studied the methods used by the Australian Naval Weather Forecasters.
The leap from hair to wool was small for the URI professor. Prior to his sabbatical, Kirschenbaum did some basic research on hair funded, in part, by a hair care company. Sunlight damages and discolors hair, demonstrating again that free radicals are up to no good.
Kirschenbaum remains curious about free radicals. How can they be stopped? Why, for instance, do sulfur-crested cockatoo feathers remain pure white?
Kirschenbaum is less concerned with the application of his research than in the basic science. "The goal of applied scientists such as Dr. Millington is in suppressing free radicals. To do that, we need to know whats happening and how it is happening. Then we can apply the science, try to solve problems such as what kind of chemical treatments do we need for hair, skin, or in this case fabric?"
Kirschenbaums love of chemistry and research began at an early age. As a teenager, he asked for and received chemistry set. Even earlier the future chemist was mixing pharmaceuticals in the sink. He was especially attracted to the purple color and reactivity of potassium permanganate, an antibacterial found in the family medicine cabinet. "Actually, potassium permanganate was the subject of my first publication, " the professor recalled.

text: Who's Who Hemsley + Hemsley 25 April 2012 Lisa Niven MELISSA AND JASMINE HEMSLEY are the sisters behind London-based food business Hemsley + Hemsley, which provides nutritious home-cooked food to celebrities and other clients all over the world. The Hemsleys pride themselves on creating meals that are wholesome and nutrient-filled as well as delicious, and began contributing recipes to Vogue.co.uk in April 2012. Their bestselling first cookbook The Art of Eating Well is available now."Melissa and I realised that despite loving to cook and eating 'healthily', we were still suffering from everyday ailments such as acid reflux, painful bloating, IBS, eczema and being constantly exhausted from the stress of our jobs," explained Jasmine, also a model. "We started to research and read everything we could get our hands on, but we couldn't find just one ethos that we could live by. After many months of using ourselves as guinea pigs we finally found a way to eat that made us feel vibrant, strong and healthy." So in 2010 the sisters started up their eponymous business supplying organic food to private clients. Recipes are free of grain, gluten and refined sugar whilst encouraging the use of high-quality organic saturated fats, and the Hemsleys are keen to point out that they are "anti-diet, anti-deprivation and anti-guilt". "We offer a modern twist on a back-to-nature way of eating that has infinite health benefits for today's over-worked, under-nourished generation," they said. "We don't believe in depriving ourselves of treats and successfully transform sweets and baking into something delicious without any of the nasty sugars and refined nutritionless flours."

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ATS Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATSI), manufacturer and marketer of state-of-the-art cardiac surgery products and services, today provided preliminary revenue results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040202/ATSILOGO)
The Company currently expects revenue for the fourth quarter 2007 to be approximately $14.2 million, which would represent an increase of approximately 32% over fourth quarter 2006 revenue of $10.7 million. Full-year revenue for 2007 is expected to be approximately $49.6 million, an increase of approximately 23% over full-year 2006 revenue of $40.4 million. Both results are in-line with the Company's previous guidance. The Company expects to release its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 results on February 26th.
"We had an excellent fourth quarter and finished 2007 with record
revenue of nearly $50 million," said Michael Dale, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of ATS Medical. "Our strong revenue growth during the
fourth quarter was primarily driven by an approximate 25% year over year
increase in international mechanical heart valve revenue and approximately
167% year over year growth in ATS CryoMaze(TM) surgical ablation revenue.
Overall, approximately 28% of our revenue came from products other than
mechanical heart valves, which illustrates the steady progress we have made
toward building a truly diversified cardiac surgery business. At the same
time, we continued to make substantial progress with our new product
development, especially in the tissue valve category and expect 2008 to be
a year of both st

Recipe by CYNDISINGER
"Any Robey Family special occasion is marked by the MUST have blue devils, including all weddings, Easter, Xmas & Summer feasts. Were from Va. so it's a custom by the Bay!!!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon
Old Bay Seasoning TM
1 (6 ounce) can
lump crabmeat, drained
Try adding the following ingredients to this recipe and you will have a 'keeper': increase mayo to 3/4 cup (use light mayo, of course), 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsps dijon mustard (instead of powder), 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp red pepper (cayenne). Mix with yolks and crab and stuff eggs. Top eggs with a sprinkling of Old Bay or smoked paprika and snipped fresh chives, if desired.
A nice change from the usual, but I thought they were missing a little something. I think I'll try again and experiment by adding a few more ingredients. (Definitely a little more mayo for a creamier consistency.) Thanks for the good recipe!

This is great on a low-carb diet! I added fresh ground pepper to the mix as well. I like my deviled eggs a bit more moist and tangy, I would also add just a bit more mayo. I had 3 halves for breakfast with a cup of coffee. The extra filling is wonderful stuffed in celery sticks for a snack.
Very good. Also goes well with a can of shrimp instead of the crab.
If you like crab, and you like deviled egges you will love this recipe. I made this for cook-out and now I have to have these when ever there is an event. Great food. (Had to double the recipe so that some would make it to the party)
The texture of the egg filling was not as creamy as my traditional recipe. Next time I may add another tablespoon of mayonaise and a little more Old Bay seasoning. A nice change of pace from traditional deviled eggs, though.
Luckily, I followed the advice of some of the reviewers and doctored up the recipe. I mixed all the ingredients and crab first, including adding more mayo, dijon mustard instead of the powder, cayenne, nixed the paprika, added a little onion powder, and loaded it with Old Bay. Kept tasting and messing with it until my base tasted like a crab cake mixture. Then I added about 3/4 of the yellows to that mixture and doctored some more until I liked the taste. I just think this is one of those recipes you have to play with and keep sampling until you get it where you want it. But the end result turned out fabulous and my guests LOVED them. Will definitely make again!
I made this yesterday to take to a party. I love the concept, but it just wasn't a good combination. I added extra crab, extra cayenne, extra paprika, but it just didn't fly. A few got eaten, but just a little embarrassing to take something to a get together that people eat only to be polite. Thankfully I took shrimp tray! Now that went with enthusiasm!!! Taking this one out of my recipe box.

CRESTVIEW — After nearly three hours, the North Okaloosa Fire District Commission decided on Thursday to table discussion of removing Fire Chief Ed Cutler for another month.
The decision came after hearing public input and much discussion among the board during the fire district's monthly meeting.
All five commissioners were present at the meeting, along with Department Attorney Jonathan Holloway, Cutler and Deputy Chief Danny Worrells. Cutler's supporters filled the room.
Commissioners agreed there is a lack of communication between them and the chief. Both the commissioner and chief agreed to communicate better in the future.
"We came to agreement with the chief and the board, 5-0." Craig Shaw said. "I think we're on the right track."

Kate Hudson and her boyfriend Matt Bellamy welcomed a baby boy on Saturday night, now the couple will retreat to Matt's London home with their new son.
So who is Matt Bellamy besides Kate Hudson's baby daddy?
5) Matthew is a Brit and the lead vocalist, guitarist, pianist and main songwriter for Muse. If you don't know who Muse it, then I'm sure the radio in your car broke in 2001.
4) Cosmo magazine chose him as the sexiest rocker of 2003 and 2004 and NME magazine voted him the 14th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Hero of all time, ahead of John Lennon and Bob Dylan.
3) Matt made the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records for most guitars smashed on a tour. Bellamy smashed 140 guitars!
2) Matt dated an Italian Doctor, Gaia Polloni, for 9 years and was engaged for two months before he broke things off. Then he briefly dated some unknown Canadian model named Sophia Bloxam for like a second right before he met Kate Hudson. This is Bellamy's first child and first high profile relationship.
1) Bellamy performed on an Italian TV show with Muse, but when the show demanded that the band lip-sync their song "Uprising" Bellamy was not okay with that. Bellamy, who is the lead vocalist, decided to "play drums" for this show and banged at the drums like he's never seen a drum kit in his life while Muse's actual drummer played guitar and lip synced to Bellamy's voice as a slap to the face to performers who can't sing live.

Jay defeated Stevens in overtime, 51-47.
The Knights had a whole season to stew on last season's one-point playoff loss to Reagan.
They got revenge this time around in the Class 5A third round at UTSA.
The teams battle in a defensive struggle for most of the way. Steele star McKenzie Calvert fails to make a field goal in the first half, but comes alive late, scoring 13 fourth-quarter points.
Reagan senior Bailey Champion knots the game 53-53 with 40 seconds left in the game. Then Steele's Erika Chapman draws a foul with 0.1 seconds left on the clock. She swishes both free throws — Steele shot 87 percent from the line — to send the Knights to the regional tournament.
Other good ones
Steele 69, Pflugerville 60: (March 1, Class 5A state semifinal at Erwin Center) — The odds were stacked against Steele at the state tournament. Only two area teams had ever won a 5A tournament game, and Pflugerville hadn't lost all season. The Knights ignore history, shocking the Panthers behind a complete team effort: Calvert (17 points), Chapman (12), Jade Brady (12) and Bri Millett (10) all finish in double figures.
Churchill 58, Jay 53: (Feb. 15, Class 5A second round at Alamo Heights) — With Churchill star Leslie Vorpahl blanketed by double teams, sophomore Mikki Flores steps up and scores 20 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Vorpahl also adds 20.
Jay 51, Stevens 47 (OT): (Jan. 19, District 27-5A game at Taylor Field House) — Jay point guard Destiny Amezquita, known for her 3-point shooting, comes through at the line, making four overtime free throws to lift the Mustangs. She finishes with 18, all scored after halftime. Ashia McLaurin adds 15.
Reagan 56, Wagner 52: (Dec. 11, at Littleton Gym) — The Rattlers overcome a 17-point first-half deficit to top the Thunderbirds, and improve to 18-0. Wendy Knight leads Reagan with 13 points. Wagner's Tesha Smith has 14 points and 18 rebounds.

If one bulb stops working the rest stay lit. They are very sturdy--almost impossible to break and they stay cool to the touch. They also burn much brighter than standard holiday lights. See focusonenergy.com and greenliteusa.com and energystar.gov for more details.
The costs for the light bulbs are $3.25 each for 60, 75, or 100 watt equivalents; 3-way bulbs are $6.25; multi-colored LED's are $5.50 for a 12 ft. string of 35 lights and white LED's are $7.50.
Prices are very comparable to (if not better than many) store prices. However, because this is a special program, the honor society will earn $2.00 for each light bulb and $3.00 for each string of lights. Funds earned will go to supporting needs in the community as well as scholarships for South students.
Individuals would like to place an order should contact a South High School National Honor Society member or Mrs. Goins at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sales end Thursday, December 4th. LED's should be in before Christmas with bulbs arriving in January.

John Willis just produced an Interesting podcast with Michael Crandell (CEO of RightScale). In this podcast, John interviews Michael about RightScale's recent announcement of the GoGrid/RightScale partnership as well as other partnerships and ideas.
More info on the GoGrid/RightScale partnership can be seen here.
If I could sum up the podcast, it would be how RightScale (with a partnership with GoGrid and others) are delivering the "on-ramp" to allow companies to migrate to the Cloud and provide portability to the cloud by providing a multi-hosted cloud infrastructure.
The podcast can be heard here. Highlights, according to John are:
- Services is key to the clouds
- No Windows support at this time (ed. note: Windows Server 2003/2008 in the Cloud is currently available on GoGrid)
- Infrastructure cloud partners
- Clarification on Rackspace/Mosso
- RightScale and Eucalyptus Wasup?
- Changes to the RightScale Business Model
This is yet another clear example of how all Cloud Providers and Enablers are working towards a common good and breaking down potential barriers to entry, especially for the Enterprise. As the Cloud continues to crystallize, individual providers and aggregators will become more prevalent and the on-ramp to enablement even more accessible.

"Vlogs" Bring Middle Eastern Scholars' Work to Greater Audiences
SPA Associate Professor Diane Singerman is pioneering a multifaceted, multimedia program to bring diverse perspectives on the Middle East to the public forefront. The main course: a yearlong series of online video dialogues, aka "vlogs" on hot topics related to Islamic traditions and Muslim societies.
"Islam in Focus," funded by the Social Science Research Council's Academy in the Public Sphere program, will have several components. The grant will be used to create a series of online video dialogues on contemporary topics; organize media trainings for academics engaged in Middle Eastern studies; and support Middle East Studies @ AU, a new university-wide initiative targeting scholars and students from all disciplines whose work relates to the Muslim world. Singerman is co-director of the new initiative, along with faculty members Mustafa Aksakal in History/CAS, and Professor Kristin Diwan in Comparative and Regional Studies/SIS.
Singerman's team will collaborate with a website called Bloggingheads.tv (BhTv) to produce 12 vlogs on issues relating to Islamic history, Muslim society, culture and politics. The monthly show will examine a range of controversial issues, such as how the U.S. military prepares its troops to interact with Muslim societies or how Islamic tradition and law has influenced economic development in the Middle East.
Bloggingheads.tv's unique approach is to bring "interesting, ideologically diverse people together to talk about issues in-depth in a way that is engaged rather than polarized," according to Singerman. The experts chosen for each topic will engage in a free-flow, unmoderated dialogue via Webcam, rendering geographic restrictions irrelevant.
Another ten episodes will be produced in response to breaking news in the Middle East and Islamic world. Singerman's team will collaborate with other universities to cultivate a network of academics, policymakers, policy analysts, and journalists who can speak to such new developments as they arise.
"One of the goals is to link diverse academic voices to policymakers, journalists and the academic community. A lot goes on in Washington but the dialogue is often "within the box" and between people who already know each other or each other's work," said Singerman.
Three BhTV dialogues per week are excerpted in the Opinion section of The New York Times website. Faculty will also be encouraged to post their vlogs on their own websites, helping not only to raise the profile of their work but also to engage with academics and other interested parties outside their discipline. To that end, a media skills training will "teach us eggheads to speak in ways that are more accessible to the public and bring our analysis to bear on critical issues out there," said Singerman.
A portion of the grant will also be used to support a series of seminars and events via the new Middle East Studies initiative at American University (MES@AU). "There are a lot of programs that touch on Middle Eastern studies at AU, but we need to build stronger bridges across schools," said Singerman. "MES @ AU tries to recognize the intellectual synergies on the issues across campus and build upon them."
The project will get underway this June, and to Singerman's thinking, it's long overdue.
"We need better ideas, new approaches and more nuanced ways of relating to the Muslim world and to thinking about political issues that are also influenced by religion, diverse political constituencies, and culture. Hopefully in some small way this program might help achieve that," concluded Singerman.

Virgin Australia's $98 million plan to buy regional airline Skywest has been given the go-ahead by the competition watchdog.

"The message that we received from the market was broadly supportive of the proposed acquisition," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said in a statement.
"The services that Virgin and Skywest supply are seen as largely complementary, rather than competitive with each other.

Money talks [1]
Film - Philip Kerr on why greedy distributors mean the movie business doesn't add up
Film - Philip Kerr on why greedy distributors mean the movie business doesn't add up
by Philip Kerr [2] Published
Distribution, and not production, is the engine room of a viable film industry. But the distribution business is little understood, least of all by the people who make films.
Double Whammy, starring Denis Leary and Elizabeth Hurley, and directed by Tom DiCillo, was made in 2000 for $5m. It's not a good film, but then it's not a bad one either; there are some reasonable performances and a few funny lines. In 2001 the film was acquired by Lions Gate, which sat on the movie instead of distributing it. So DiCillo was understandably bitter about Lions Gate when the film was sold straight to cable and video in the US, as this generally implies that a film wasn't good enough. It is hardly true of Double Whammy, especially when you see some of the rubbish that does get distributed; but then distribution has nothing to do with merit and everything to do with money.
Distributors all want the same thing - to make the maximum profit from a film's release. This means committing money to publicity and the cost of distributing prints of the movie to the cinemas. Digital distribution of mainstream film is yet to become standard practice, and at roughly $3,000 per copy, it's plain to see how distributing a film to as many as 3,000 US cinemas can be expensive. A small release in US theatres was probably contemplated for Double Whammy - say 200 cinemas - which would have resulted in a print cost of approximately $600,000. And it doesn't end there. The distributor is expected to provide an electronic press kit, trailers, press packs, posters and advertising, which could add another $1m. All of this on top of what the distributor paid the producer for the US distribution rights - any producer getting 20 per cent of the budget would count themselves lucky. Let's say Lions Gate paid $800,000 for the US rights.
So now the distributor has a movie with some big names. There is even talk of an off-screen romance between Leary and Hurley - all good publicity. In normal circumstances, the distributor could expect that a theatrical release would make enough to cover its costs and generate some good reviews to help sell the film to cable and video. Except that business is about cash flow and maybe, with other films to distribute, Lions Gate had to make a choice about which film to support. What's more, by now other people would have seen it and commented that it was not as good as had first been thought. Elizabeth Hurley looks a mess. And while he is a good character actor, Leary isn't a big enough star to carry a film. Doubtless Lions Gate was now faced with a difficult choice. It could risk $1.6m on top of the $800,000 we assume it had already paid for the movie; or it could cover its costs, maybe even make a small profit, by selling the film straight to cable and video. Which is what happened.
Winchester Films, which acquired UK distribution rights - for say 10 per cent of budget, around $400,000 - decided to wait before distributing the film in the UK; the firm needs a theatrical release if it is to make any kind of money back on video. Put the case that Winchester decides to distribute Double Whammy to 60 cinemas in the UK - which requires spending as much as £400,000 on front-of-house costs. After all, this is a film with Elizabeth Hurley and by now some schmuck who works on a magazine with a long lead time will have given it a glowing review . . . enough of a puff for a poster, anyway. Also, this is where the electronic press kit kicks in, with Hurley giving an interview on tape and, as she's better known here than in the US, before you know it there are bums on seats. Over five weeks the film might generate about £750,000 in income. Less the £400,000 spent on front of house, and the $400,000 (roughly £250,000) paid to the producer, that means the distributor has already made a profit of more than £100,000. And he hasn't even sold the video and satellite rights yet.
All of which leads me to my point, which is to wonder that so many films get made without any of this in place. In Europe there is a vast supply of film for which there is no noticeable demand. And while producers commonly ignore what audiences seem to want, distributors, who are in it with their wallets and not their egos, cannot. Studio movies are preferred not because they are American, but in spite of it. No one spends more time researching what an audience wants than the studios, and the greatest problem afflicting all independent film-makers is ignorance of (and often indifference to) the very audiences to which they are trying to appeal. That's a double whammy every aspiring auteur should learn on his first day at film school.
Double Whammy (15) is at selected cinemas
