The Really Wild Show
Seeing animals in their natural habitat and knowing your helping to keep them there - now there's an experience in a lifetime.
HELLO! Magazine 6th October 2005
The big cats, Namibia
If you've ever dreamed of meeting your very own Aslan in the flesh, coming eyeball to eyeball with an oh-so-elusive leopard, or falling in love with Boots, Buttons, Bubbles and Bangles, four adorable orphaned cheetah cubs, head for Okonjima in Namibia.
This is no animal playground. Set in 120km of the rolling Omboroko Hills, Okonjima is a lifeline and sanctuary for big cats, particularly Namibia's dwindling population of around 2,500 cheetahs (a quarter of the world total), the speedy, enigmatic and most beautiful of all - and threatened with extinction by farmers who see them as vermin that attack their livestock.
The Hanssen family who own Okonjima had themselves been cattle ranchers until Wayne, his then wife and sisters converted to the cause of preserving the country's precious wildlife and instigated a programme of rescue, rehabilitation and relocation. Importantly, they also set about gaining the support of the farmers whose traditional methods of dealing with predators were either to use vicious traps, or to offer them as shooting trophies for wealthy tourists. In 1993 the non-profit making AfriCat Foundation was born, committed to the long-term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores.
Since then, more than 800 big cats have been saved, each one has a heart-rending miracle: Chinga the cheetah rescued from a rabbit hutch; Chui hit by a car when a cub; Paws caught in a box trap; Matata the lion orphaned as a baby; Shakira, the leopard who grew too big to be a pet. The aim is to relocate as many animals as possible in the wild or, if they can't be rehabilitated, to care for and feed them in their reserves. Research and youth education schemes are also part of AfriCat's programme, and the tourist activities at Okonjima are vital as they provide much-needed funds.
Don't rush Okonjima or you'll miss out on a lifetime of memories: track radio-collared cheetahs on foot in their reserve, take a vehicle safari to spot that most solitary and secretive of cats - leopards - in their own vast reserve where you'll also see zebra, giraffe, kudu antelope and hyena, watch lions that can't be rehabilitated feeding just a few feet from you, and follow a Bushman Trail to learn how former inhabitants survived and adapted to life in the wild. After dinner there are drives to nocturnal hides where you'll see the little guys, too - the honeybadgers, lynx-like caracal and porcupine, their quills shimmering silver in the moonlight.
Okonjima's accommodation is a tourist attraction in its own right. The Main Camp, converted from the original Hanssen farmhouse, consists of ten luxury en-suite rooms overlooking a manicured lawn and campfire where you re-live your experiences each evening. The newer luxurious Bush Camp two miles away on the edge of the wilderness, also with a pool and campfire, consists of a main dining area, bar, lobby and shop, and just eight spacious, thatched, African-style en-suite chalets, their décor reflecting the surrounding earthly landscapes and each one offering complete privacy.
If you want to feel even closer to nature, you can roll up the ingenious canvas paneling and enjoy the antics of some of the 250 bird species by their own birdbath outside.
It's a magical experience - with the bonus of knowing your visit is helping Boots, Buttons, Bubbles and Bangles, as well as a host of other wonderful but endangered creatures.

History of the Musk Ox Project
The Beginning
In the 1940's and 50's wild musk oxen were a disaster or two away from extinction and the villages of coastal Alaska were being compared to some of the most impoverished in the world. Where others saw two utterly hopeless situations, John Teal's eyes sparkled and a vision was born. In this windswept and inhospitable land he saw an opportunity for Native people to live together peaceably with this animal such that both would thrive.
After more than a decade of research, Teal started what came to be known as the Musk Ox Project in Alaska. Supported by funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, as well as assistance from the University of Alaska and countless volunteers, the Project started Alaska's first domestic musk ox farm in Fairbanks in 1964. Each year the herd grew. Each year their qiviut was combed and spun into exquisite yarn.
The Knitters' Cooperative
In 1968 the Project began workshops teaching native Alaskan women in villages such as Mekoryuk, Bethel, St. Mary's and Tununak how to knit the unique lacy pattern for qiviut garments. Within a year, a knitters' cooperative was formed- Oomingmak, Musk Ox Producers' Cooperative– and within ten more years over two hundred native women were earning some of the cash income so vital to get their families through the year.
The Project Today
The farm is presently located in the Matanuska Valley near Palmer, Alaska, where members of the project and a host of volunteers continue the work begun forty years ago. Our commitment to the domestication of the musk ox, and to the establishment of a cottage-based textile industry, is as strong now as it was when John Teal began the project in 1954.

Los Angeles. Playing in a city steeped in a rich history of championship franchises, the Los Angeles Kings are one victory away from finally taking their place at the top of an elite sports town.
The Kings shut out the New Jersey Devils 4-0 on Monday to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven National Hockey League final series and pull tantalizingly close to their first ever Stanley Cup.
"It's pretty safe to say that this has been a Lakers town, and rightfully so," long-time Kings winger Dustin Brown said, referring to the storied NBA franchise. "LA is one of those towns where if you want to get noticed you have to win. Having the opportunity to win a championship here relieves a lot of frustration for a lot of people."
The Los Angeles Lakers bask in the glow of their 16 championship banners, while the Dodgers remain one of baseball's most treasured organizations.
Even the Los Angeles Angels can claim higher ground than the Kings, having clinched baseball's World Series in 2002.
The Kings' Stanley Cup Final appearance is their first in 19 years, capping a prolonged period of losing seasons and quick exits from the playoffs.
Their remarkable playoff run has all the hallmarks of a Hollywood script, starting the post-season as the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference but tearing through the competition like a hurricane.
Monday's domination of the Devils was the latest display of their stunning emergence. With goaltender Jonathan Quick continuing to out-duel Martin Brodeur, the most successful netminder in NHL history, the Kings sparked cheers of "We want the Cup!" from the Staples Center crowd.
"It gives you goose bumps," Quick said. "The whole playoffs [the crowd] has been like that. It's a boost of confidence. They have waited a long time to see us play in the finals and it's great for the organization and the diehard fans."
Quick made 22 saves in his third shutout of the postseason, and Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist.
Alec Martinez scored the opening goal for the Kings, and Jeff Carter and Justin Williams added late power-play goals.
New Jersey has been pretty good in the finals, but nothing has been able to slow down these Kings, who seem destined to become the first No. 8 seed to win the Stanley Cup. The Kings could celebrate their first title at home today, but their only weakness in this charmed postseason has been Game 4. They're 10-0 on the road in the postseason, but failed to close out Vancouver and Phoenix at home in Game 4s.

Prairie Ridge Ecostation
Recycled Materials
How can furniture made from recycled materials be acquired for my personal use? Does it cost more than conventional furniture?
Numerous companies now offer furniture made from recycled materials and prices generally are not much more than non-recycled furniture.
One North Carolina-based company uses the wood from obsolete tobacco barns for tables, floors, doors and much more.
Baltix, a company based in Minnesota, is the supplier of Prairie Ridge's tables. We purchased our tables for about $290 each.
Are there any advantages of using recycled materials other than having the knowledge and satisfaction that the products have a high level of sustainable material content?
Using sustainable furniture eliminates the need to throw things "away," which keeps material out of landfills and cuts the requirement for the initial harvesting of trees. In addition, many companies use materials that contain no adhesives, formaldehydes or VOC's that can harm the environment.

I had to take a backpack everywhere, there are times I don't want to hassle with leaving it at the front desk when going in to a store. They hold about a 2 liter bottle for each side, not much but better than the alternative. It holds their form even while in high winds, the exterior is pretty rugged. Easy to tie up to the frame, lots of string they provide to tie it down.Read All Reviews

AerCap reported a 43% increase in its cash position for the second quarter ended 30 June 2012. Total cash including restricted cash reached $765 million, compared with $535 million at the end of second quarter in 2011.
AerCap posted a $29.6 million net income for the second quarter ended 30 June 2012, compared with $30.8 million for the same period in 2011.
Adjusted net income totalled $59.2 million, compared with $72.8 million in last year's corresponding period.
The operating lessor said the decrease in adjusted net income was mainly the result of increased default and restructuring related expenses of $6.9 million, net of tax, and a lower gain on the sale of aircraft of $4.5 million, net of tax, in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the second quarter of 2011.
AerCap's chief executive officer Aengus Kelly, commented: "During the second quarter of 2012 AerCap continued to increase shareholder value by generating $59 million of adjusted net income and executing an unsecured debt offering, which represented an industry milestone. In addition, we demonstrated our commitment to enhance shareholder value by repurchasing 5.6 million shares and recently increased our share repurchase program to $200 million. This, along with opportunistic aircraft acquisitions such as our transaction with Singapore Airlines, our pro active aircraft sales policy and robust liquidity profile will continue to drive AerCap's industry leading returns."
Net interest margin earned on lease assets, or net spread, was $173.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with $177.3 million for the same period in 2011. Net interest margin as a percentage of average lease assets was 8.67% for second quarter 2012 as compared to 8.83% for second quarter 2011. The decrease in net interest margin is driven by the impact from the delivery of new aircraft and costs related to defaults which occurred in previous periods.
Basic lease rents were $234.9 million for the second quarter, a decrease of 1% compared with the same period in 2011. Average lease assets decreased by 1% to $8 billion compared with the second quarter of 2011.
Basic rents, maintenance rents and other receipts, or total lease revenue, for the second quarter of 2012 was $247.4 million, compared to $264.5 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of 6%.
Net gain on sale of aircraft for the second quarter of 2012 was $700,000, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2011. During the second quarter of 2012 we sold one A330 aircraft, one A320 aircraft and one Boeing 757 aircraft.
Total assets were $9.3 billion at 30 June 2012, a decrease of 3% over total assets of $9.6 billion at the end of the second quarter in 2011. The net decrease is attributable to the sale of AeroTurbine, which was only partially offset by new aircraft deliveries.
Committed purchases of aviation assets delivered or scheduled for delivery in 2012 totalled $1.1 billion, of which $518 million closed in the first six months of 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, AerCap closed three financing transactions totalling approximately $340 million, including a $300 million senior unsecured notes issuance. The total amount of financing transactions completed in the year to date is $650 million.
During the three-month period, AerCap purchased 5.6 million shares (including 5.0 million shares purchased from Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.) at a cost of $62.7 million. The average purchase price of the 5.6 million shares was $11.22. At 30 June 2012, the book value per share was $17.20.

Cuts hit wrong target
To suggest any comparison between any of our local governments and the train wreck that passes for governance these days in Washington would be truly unfair.
Still, we can't help but see just a hint of the budget battle-continuing resolution-debt ceiling-Obamacare scrum in the nation's capital and the Durham County Commissioners' revenge cut to one agency's budget.
The commissioners are miffed because during budget discussions last summer, the city ended its participation in financing a program that has sharply decreased a backlog of unserved arrest warrants. The city and county jointly funded the "warrant control" program, paying for additional clerks in the Durham County Sheriff's Office to digitize into a database the piles of unserved warrants.
The program worked. As of this spring, when this fiscal year's budgets were taking shape, the job was nearly finished.
Problem solved, the city concluded. No need for more money – after all, City Manager Tom Bonfield and the City Council reasoned, there are lots of other demands on the city's budget.
Sheriff Mike Andrews wanted to continue the program, morphing it into a one-stop shop for warrant information. City police didn't see enough value in that program, and the city stuck to its no-funding guns.
In response, the commissioners lopped $84,758 out of its allocation to the jointly funded City-County Planning Department. Monday, they reiterated that decision. Chairman Fred Foster, in the majority on the 3-2 vote, argued that "we have to be very judicious about the dollars we're spending, and I'd rather have them in-house on things we need."
Planning Director Steve Medlin had eased some commissioners' worries by reallocating some duties to assure the department can continue developing a low-income housing strategy.
But job cuts still are likely, leading to objections from the Home Builders Association of Durham and Orange counties, whose leaders fear a delay in permit decisions.
We understand Foster's contention about needing to spend that money on other priorities – and we don't necessarily disagree with Andrews' contention that the program is worth funding in its altered form.
Nor do we necessarily disagree with the city's contention that the reason for the program is over – and generally applaud the notion of sunsetting government programs when their objectives are met.
What trouble us the most is that the commissioners' decision does suggest acting as much out of pique as priorities.
Brenda Howerton, who voted to reverse course on the cuts Monday, said she didn't want the planning department "in the middle" of the dispute.
We agree. Punishing a bystander in this case seems like the wrong approach to resolving the policy dispute over the warrant-control program.

Mission responds to partnership termination
Citing challenges in the heath-care climate, Mission Health's CEO said a partnership with Rutherford Regional Health System (RRHS) had to be changed.
That change prompted the RRHS Board of Trustees to terminate its negotiation with the Asheville-based hospital and seek out other suitors.
On Tuesday, Mission Health CEO Ronald A. Paulus said the challenges facing rural health care are "unprecedented."
"Market realities require a reconsideration of all assumptions that we each have made over time not just for RRHS or Mission Health, but for everyone," Paulus said.
Terry Hines, RRHS Board of Trustees chairman said Mission Health wanted to make changes to the initial memorandum of understanding (MOU) which prompted RRHS officials to "see what other options were available to us."
Paulus said the affiliation process between the two health systems "worked as intended" and Mission Health presented findings, conclusions and a review of the health care landscape regionally, state and nationwide.
"I believe that doing things the traditional way is unlikely to be successful," Paulus said.
The agreement between the two entities had been ongoing since September 2012 and the parties agreed to an MOU in January 2013 which began the due diligence phase of the negotiations.
"The MOU was a non-binding agreement that enabled the parties to engage in further discussions and for Mission Health to perform a detailed clinical-business assessment commonly referred to as due diligence," Paulus said.
The non-binding agreement would have allowed RRHS to become an affiliate of Mission and authorized the RRHS Board of Trustees to complete negotiations regarding the partnership.
One question surrounding the original MOU was the makeup of the RRHS Board of Trustees under the agreement. RRHS CEO Cindy Buck said initially, the Board would act with a "level of autonomy."
She said the RRHS Board of Trustees "will have 80 percent of board members coming from the local community" and that the hiring and firing of RRHS management will continue to come from an executive team appointed by the RRHS CEO and approved by both boards of Mission and RRHS.
Now, Hines said RRHS will re-open the process of seeking out a potential affiliation partner with other groups which had initially expressed interest. He said Mission Health would also be part of that mix.
"There will be new proposals but they will come from those groups that previously expressed interest," Hines said.
He said those proposals could come "over the next few weeks" and RRHS should be in a position to name a potential partner at that time.
As for Mission Health, Paulus said they will still look for ways to help providers in western North Carolina.
"Mission Health will always seek ways to help any provider in western North Carolina in a way that best serves the community and is sustainable for the long run," Paulus said.

Dancing With The Stars
Florence + The Machine Lead Singer Upset The Situation Is Gone
It was a bit surprising to see relative newcomer Florence Welch, the lead singer of Florence + The Machine, on Dancing with the Stars this week, if only because we can't exactly imagine contestants like Florence Henderson and Jennifer Grey knowing her music. That's all about to change, though, as appearing on the biggest show in the country will certainly do wonders for your profile.
Florence spoke with Us about her appearance on the hit show and revealed something you may not have anticipated: She loved The Situation.
"I met The Situation," Florence said. I was on my way to do an interview and he had gotten off on the wrong floor. I was trying to give him directions and we managed to get back on the lift together and he got to where he was going. He was so sweet." The Stich, always ready to help a damsel in distress.
Still, Florence might change her tune about the sweetness if she ever sees Jersey Shore "I've never watched it, but I've heard about it. It's a huge phenomenon. We don't have Jersey Shore in England yet." Can you imagine?
It sounds like Florence didn't stick around long enough to get the news that The Sitch had danced his last dance that night. "Oh no! Now I'm upset — I didn't know that! I think if the Jersey Shore is on TV I'll watch it, but we don't get it in England. My TV only has five channels."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.- Rebounding proved to be a downfall for the Holy Cross women's basketball team as they were pounded on the boards, 52-30, by North Carolina A&T, falling by the final score of 75-62 in the final day of action at the Cavalier Classic held at the John Paul Jones arena. With the day's result, the Crusaders fall to a record of 4-9 on the season, while the Aggies go to 4-6. Sophomore Amy Lepley (Norfolk, Mass.) led the team with 14 points and tied the team-high with four rebounds.
The Crusaders found themselves down 10-4 early on in the first half, making just two of their seven field goal attempts. At 11:31, Holy Cross fell behind by 10 points, 23-13. The squad held the Aggies scoreless for three minutes, as freshman Christine Ganser (Needham, Mass.) drew a three-point play to bring the score to 23-16. North Carolina A&T answered with a 5-0 run to take a 12-point lead, 28-16 at 7:27. With five minutes to play in the first stanza, Holy Cross' shooting woes remained as they managed just six field goals in 27 attempts, with the Aggies staying up, 30-18. Senior Whitney Fremeau (Manchester, N.H.) sparked an 11-4 run with four points to round out the half, as the Crusaders headed into the locker room down 34-29. Holy Cross shot 31.4 percent from the floor (11 of 35) while North Carolina A&T hit 45.8 percent of its shots (11 of 24). Ganser led all scorers with nine points at the break after making all five of her free throw attempts.
The Crusaders dropped back to a double-digit deficit, 44-33, after the Aggies went on a 10-0 run after the 17:51 mark of the second half. Lepley would score six of Holy Cross' next nine points over the following six minutes of play, but still could not spark a rally as the team stayed down 54-42 at 11:25. North Carolina A&T pulled ahead by a game-high 15 points one minute later, 58-43, at 10:13. Lepley knocked down two consecutive three-point shots to get the Crusaders back within six points of the Aggies, 62-56, as the team outscored their opponent 13-4 in that period. Time ran out on the Holy Cross team, however, as it could not get any closer than the six point discrepancy, finishing with a 75-62 defeat.
Holy Cross had four players finish in double-digits, including Lepley's 14 points. Ganser finished with a season-best 12 points while Fremeau and freshman Alex Smith (Delran, N.J.) added 10 points apiece. In the game, the Crusaders shot 32.8 percent (22-for-67) while the Aggies shot 42.6 percent (23-for-54). North Carolina A&T also took the rebounding edge, 52-30, and was led by Jaleesa Sams with 21 points.
Holy Cross returns to action in the New Year, traveling to play Dartmouth on Jan. 2. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. at the Leede Arena in Hanover, N.H.

Test ID: NAD
Newborn Aneuploidy Detection, FISH
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The FISH test to rule out aneuploidy is based on commercially available, directly labeled, multicolored fluorescent DNA probes. The probes are centromere-specific for chromosomes 18, X, and Y, and locus-specific for 13q14 and 21q22. Specimens with 2 signals for probes on chromosomes 13, 18, and 21, and either 1 X and 1 Y signal (male) or 2 X signals (female) are considered normal. Specimens with signal patterns other than 2 signals for 13, 18, and 21 and XX or XY are consistent with loss or gain of the locus in question.(Jalal SM, Law ME: Detection of newborn aneuploidy by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization. Mayo Clin Proc 1997;72:705-710)

A charming, sweet film about a father who runs a bathhouse in Beijing and his two sons, one mentally handicapped and the other, Da, a stoic businessman. The movie revolves around Da's coming to terms with his father's ill health and his brother's dependence on their father. Da had moved away years ago and not even bothered to introduce his father and brother to his new wife. His character's transformation in this film is the highlight, even though it is a subtle, unassuming transition from detached to loving son. I'm not big on foreign films yet this film is so special that I watch it often. It's a beautiful story of compassion, acceptance and emotion. It is a timeless tale about a man who comes of age a little later than most to open his heart to his family.

A little bit of French Kiss mixes with the screwball elements of The Valet and The Closet for a fun, wild romp in this romantic comedy set in the French Riviera. Audrey Tautou stars in this fabulously funny film about a woman looking less for love and more for money in a beau. Being devastatingly beautiful helps her snag some rich gentlemen, but it also snags her a bartender, whom she mistakes for a wealthy playboy and he does little to correct her misperception. From there, the two set about together trying to out-do each other in the "rich" loves department. The bartender, who was hilarious in The Valet, is played by comic French star Gad Elmaleh. Between Tautou and him, they make the movie…his expressions of terror and her naivety make for a highly entertaining film.
A fine German movie, which had less thrills than I expected, but the story was top-notch. Set in the early 1980s before the Berlin Wall fell, I found this film to be more of a psychological character study of one man and his sense of personal justice. A Stasi (the secret police of East Germany) officer is assigned to spy on a playwright and his actress girlfriend because the playwright is a friend of a blacklisted stage director. When the officer finds out that he might be spying on the playwright for different reasons than he was told, he begins to doubt his assignment. The officer starts to doubt everything he believes in…and finds himself questioning everything in his life. Excellent acting makes this a must see film…which won the Best Foreign Film Oscar.
A Norwegian and Swedish film about scientists in Sweden during the 1950s who come up with the brilliant idea (yes, that is sarcasm) to study the behavior of people in their kitchens. For the study, they have selected men who live alone…widowers, bachelors, etc. The "researchers" had special chairs to sit in to study their "subjects" kitchen habits and were not supposed to talk to their subjects under any circumstances. OK – from this you probably think this is not the movie for you. Well, it's a slow film, I'll grant you that, but once I got into it, which really didn't take that long, I loved it. It's more of a case study of men during this era – men who live in isolated, extremely rural communities in Norway. This film is about friendship and trust…and about the small things in life. Nothing much really happens here but what is on the screen is heart-warming and humorous. For people who don't like foreign films or having to read subtitles, this is a foreign movie for you! Why? Well, there is not much dialogue so not many subtitles to read.
Bernardo Bertolucci continually pushes the envelope and sometimes, I feel, he does it deliberately just to stir up controversy. That is how I felt when I heard about The Dreamers . Once again, the film opening was mired in a heated uproar about the rating system (it was eventually given an NC-17 though an R-rated version was also released on DVD) and sex in motion pictures. So, when I rented it, it was just to see if Bertolucci was once again living up to the reputation I had given him as an over-hyped director. I half expected to fast forward through most of it. Thankfully, I didn't have to. The film is a good one and deserved to get more praise than it did when it was released, rather than just notoriety over its high sexual content. Yes, the film is sexual. It has graphic erotic scenes (I'm basing this review from the R-rated version), even some incestuous sexuality, which Bertolucci has used before in his films (Luna, in particular). Aside from the sexuality, the story and characters are interesting and captivating. It is a solid, vibrant coming-of-age piece with young people searching for a life like the ones they see in their favorite classic movies. The sexuality is a side note…a distraction that does pertain to the plot but does not actually move any of the action forward. Did this film need to be as sexual as it was? No, but Bertolucci so enjoys stepping over that line and inciting controversy that I'm not sure he could make a movie without sex. And, sadly, that controversy kept some people from seeing a film that is a good story about love and friendship and should be seen.
The story of Hitler's last days in the bunker, told through the eyes of his 24 year old secretary, Traudi Junge. Bruno Ganz's performance as Hitler is absolutely chilling…it never degenerates into kitschy. As a historical drama, it's accurate, very compelling and well-made. Yes, it's long, but somehow, the suspense and the pacing keeps everything moving. Another film where you know the outcome (i.e. Titanic, All the President's Men), but you don't care — you're just riveted.
This film is unlike most of the thrillers I have seen…and I have seen a lot of them. It is smart and clever and unexpected. A little bit of horror mixes with some science, some drama and a lot of strange characters to achieve an edge-of-your-seat film. I guess I should take time here to tell you that some of the plot (especially toward the ending) is a little confused…OK, a lot confused. It involves science and genetics and anything to do with science is pretty much Greek to me (or any other language). At first, I thought I was alone in my confusion but I watched some of the special features on the DVD and the cast and crew were talking about how they didn't even understand it completely. It's kind of like the Macguffin in Hitchcock's films…it doesn't matter WHAT the thing is, it just matters how exciting it is to find it. What kept me most intrigued with the story were the characters and the quick pacing of the action. It is hard to take a breath during this one…things just keep happening. Sometimes, you don't know why or how they are happening, but by the time you figure it out, something else is happening. Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel play excellently off each other…Reno is brooding and Cassel is inexperienced and impetuous. The way Cassel involves himself with Reno's case is clever and not the usual "action" movie cliché of "pairing up" the old master with the young guy that has a lot to learn. If you like action thrillers, this is one you will not want to miss!
A fabulously done Austrian film about a skilled counterfeiter who gets put in the counterfeiting section of a concentration camp during World War II. Him and a few select others are chosen to help the Nazis attempt to counterfeit both the British pound and the American dollar. The rapport among the men in the counterfeiting section is what intrigued me. Some were so sickened by helping the Nazis they came close to self-destruction. Some saw this "duty" as easy work…a way out of hard labor and even out of being killed. The performances are all spot-on and each of the characters is unique and very well-constructed…and even with the dark, grizzly subject matter, we keep watching because we have to find out how all of these characters end up. Any Holocaust film is tough to watch…and hard to say you really "like." I mean, can you "like" a film about death and atrocity? So, avoiding that, I will say this film is well-done and extremely powerful.
Being as big of a film fan as I am, you would think I'd seen this one long ago. But, I never did. It was not intentional…just an oversight. Recently, I made up for that by finally watching the extended edition on DVD. This is a fabulous movie that will be around forever as a testament to filmmaking and movies in general. Destined to be a timeless classic, Cinema Paradiso tells the story of a man, Salvatore, who finds out his childhood hero has passed away. We are taken into his memory and back in time to his childhood when he first meets his hero Alfredo, a movie projectionist in a small-town cinema. Then, we move into Salvatore's adolescence where, though Alfredo is still part of his life, his romance with a lady becomes Salvatore's consuming passion. The movie comes full circle, back where it started with Salvatore as an adult and returning home to the town he grew up in. Cinema Paradiso is a masterpiece about filmmaking, love, regret, and loss. Just when you think it's as good as it's going to get, it gets better. Put off seeing this one and you'll be sorry (like I was).
A charming film for the whole family about a school for unruly children in post-war France and the man who makes his way into his students' hearts through music. Incorporating elements from many other teacher-student films (Heaven Help Us, Mr. Holland's Opus, Dead Poets Society, etc.), The Chorus stands above those because it is able to be endearing without being too corny and hokey. As with many other teacher-student films, there always is a hard-nosed disciplinarian…and that is the case here, with the school being run by an evil headmaster. When the new prefect, Mr. Mathieu, arrives on the scene, he and the headmaster immediately clash but the prefect hangs on and helps the children reform with the help of his musical background. Sounds corny, I know…but the script takes its time and doesn't ever force anything onto the audience. None of the emotions the children feel towards Mathieu and vice versa seem strained or unnatural. And the way the story is book-ended by present-day scenes only adds to the film's charm, especially with the way the ending comes together and pleasantly surprises.

Diedrich now Castle's girls' soccer coach, Reiter now the Knights' boys' coach
Doug Diedrich couldn't resist a new challenge.
After Joe Lattner resigned as Castle High School's girls' soccer coach, Diedrich made the switch from Knights boys' coach to girls' coach.
"I thought it would be something different," said Diedrich, who guided the Knights' boys' team to the state championship in 2000 and a state runner-up finish in 1999.
Mike Reiter, who had been Diedrich's assistant with the boys' program the past nine years, moved up to head boys' coach.
"Obviously Doug was very successful, so I don't want to change much," Reiter said. "Hopefully, we can improve on the little things. I'm definitely excited."
Castle's girls return four starters from last season's 11-2-5 team while six starters are back from the boys' Class 2A regional championship team that finished 13-4-3. Diedrich's confidence in Reiter played a major role in his decision.
"I think he is the person to take the (boys') program to the next level," said Diedrich, who became Castle's boys' coach in 1990. "He's been ready for several years."
Growing up in St. Louis, Diedrich played travel soccer with Mark Reiter, Mike's uncle. Mike later played travel ball for the same coach, Scott Gallagher.
"I've known the family since I was 15-to-17 years old," said Diedrich, now 46. "It's ironic we would meet up in Southern Indiana."
Mike, 31, played soccer at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he met Jana Lacer, who played volleyball for the Kangaroos. Both schoolteachers, they became engaged and decided to return to Jana's hometown of Newburgh. She coached Castle's volleyball team for several years while he served as an assistant boys' soccer coach.
"(Diedrich) grew up a mile and a half from me, but I didn't know Doug until we moved here," Mike said.
Diedrich, who posted a 20-year boys' record of 265-74-49, starts the season with a bit of a handicap because two returning starters — junior outside backs Meren Witte and Amber Reiff — were lost for the season with torn anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
"We lost seven starters and it's a complete rebuilding program," Diedrich said. "Joe did a great job developing the program. We'll pick up the pieces. They played for a semistate championship (in 2010)."
Reiter inherits Mitch Powers, a senior goalkeeper; Jahan Sarvardin, a senior striker; Jordan Murdoch, a junior midfielder; Mason Schreiber, a junior defender; Derek Biega, a junior midfielder; and Austin Gray, a junior midfielder.
One of the most important things Reiter learned from Diedrich is to break the game down into smaller pieces for his players.
"You get them to understand the game at a basic level, and as the season goes along, they have a better understanding of the game as a whole," Reiter said.
One thing Diedrich finds refreshing is that the girls seem to be much more willing to accept what he's saying and are willing to try different ideas.
"From that standpoint, it's good," Diedrich said. "Things are much different."
On the down side, boys play soccer virtually year-round while girls play different sports.
"Girls play basketball in the winter and run track in the spring," Diedrich said. "I don't want to say they're not as committed — the girls work awful hard. When you go from one sport to the next and don't touch a soccer ball for six months, it takes a little bit of time."

Taylor Swift Seems "Bats**t Crazy," According to Which Reality Star's Wife?
As if Taylor Swift wasn't having a bad enough week as it is, now she's being slammed on Twitter by people she hasn't even met.
The latest critic of T-Swift and her musical chairs-esque dating life is Jack Osbourne's 26-year-old wife, Lisa. Taylor and Harry Styles split up shortly after New Year's. "I usually find out when Taylor Swift breaks up with someone before I even knew they were dating. That's how fast these things happen," Lisa tweeted on January 8.
"Either Taylor Swift is bat s**t crazy & causes every guy to dump her, or she has too high standards for these poor guys! droppin' like flies," she continued. Ouch!
Taylor received a similar critique at the end of 2012 from Eminem's daughter Hailie, who called Taylor a "whore" for dating Harry.
We're guessing Taylor wants to ask these people why they gotta be so mean.

Trees come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. There is an incredible diversity of tree species around the world. In Canada, there are about 180 species of trees as well as about 5 000 other plant species in almost 400 million hectares of forested and tree covered land – all a part of the ecosystem that provide habitats for an estimated 140 000 species of animals, plants and microorganisms. The two categories of trees are known as coniferous and deciduous.
Coniferous Trees
Coniferous (sometimes called evergreen, see information box below) trees grow upward rather than outward and have a triangular shape. This makes the conifer tree strong and keeps its branches from breaking under the weight of snow. The leaves on a coniferous tree are either long, pointed needles or are small, flat scales. The needles or scales will stay on the tree for several years and fall off gradually.
Pine cone
Seeds of coniferous trees and shrubs grow in cones. When a cone opens its scales, the seeds fall out. There are over 500 species of conifers and include the largest (redwoods) and oldest (bristlecone pines) living things. Canada has 34 different species of conifers.
Common examples of conifers are firs, spruces and pines and they can be identified by their needles. The firs have short needles with blunt tips. Spruces have four-sided needles that are very sharp and pines have needles that grow in bunches, wrapped together at the base.
Deciduous Trees
Broadleaved deciduous tree in the fall.
Deciduous trees spread out as they grow and have a more rounded shape than the coniferous trees. Two common examples of deciduous trees are oaks and maples. Deciduous trees have broad, flat leaves that catch a lot of light but cannot survive without warmth and water.
In Canada, when summer ends and winter approaches, the leaves of deciduous trees die because the weather is not warm enough for the leaves to survive. This is when we see them turn brilliant red, fiery orange, shimmering yellow, gold and brown every autumn before they fall to the ground.
When the leaves are gone, trees can no longer produce food and so they stop growing during the winter months. Once the temperatures rise in the springtime and there is enough rainfall, tree buds sprout leaves once more and the tree begins to grow again.
The seeds of most deciduous trees are protected by a hard nutshell or fleshy fruit. The seeds are dispersed when the fruits or nuts are eaten by animals. Since the seeds inside the fruit or shell are not digestible, the animal eventually passes them through its droppings often away from the parent tree. This increases the chance for a seedling to grow in an area that is not shadowed by its parent.
Which is which? Are coniferous trees the same as evergreen trees? Most coniferous trees are evergreens, but some deciduous trees are evergreens as well. Evergreen trees keep their leaves in all seasons and lose them gradually. However, some broad, flat-leaved deciduous trees in the south also keep their leaves year-round. So, there you have it! Most coniferous and some deciduous trees are evergreens.

Creating roughly a hundred new health insurance exchanges, one for individuals and one for small businesses in each state, is not cheap. So far the Department of Health and Human Services has rewarded about $3.7 billion in exchange grants to the states according to a new Government Accountability Office report. Most of the money is for only a handful of states. The Affordable Care Act basically granted the HHS a blank check to provide states whatever level of funding that was necessary to help states establish their exchanges. According to report the vast bulk of this grant money was rewarded to the small number of states that plan to create their own exchanges. From the GAO:
Specifically, among states that have been awarded exchange grants, total funding awarded to date ranges from $0.8 million (Wyoming) to about $911 million (California). Approximately half the states have been awarded under $30 million in exchange grant funding, while 10 states have been awarded over $100 million (see fig. 2). Out of the approximately $3.7 billion awarded in exchange grants, the majority (about 85 percent) of funding has been awarded to states that as of March 7, 2013, have formally declared their intent and have received conditional approval from HHS to establish state-based exchanges that will be operationally ready for the initial open enrollment period beginning October 1, 2013. Conversely, states pursuing partnership exchanges have been awarded about 5 percent of the funding, and states in which a federally facilitated exchange will operate have been awarded about 11 percent of the funding.
A total of 18 states with roughly a third of the population fit this first category. While much of this is a one time cost it is still a significant expense for creating what is effectively an unnecessary extra layer of bureaucracy to provide a service to only a few million people. Beyond the initial start up cost it will also take more money to maintain the exchanges going forward. In most cases the cost of keeping the exchanges running will be added to the premium cost of everyone using them. Even if competition on the exchanges does marginally reduces prices it might not be enough to make up for the added cost of creating and maintaining this extra layer.

Glee's Naya Rivera Hits the Beach for a Hot Photoshoot
While the rest of Glee cast was deep in their Christmas filming, Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez) took a little break to hit the beach.
What was she doing there? The star may play a character who's been off at college, but she got to play beach bunny for the day, saying she was "Up bright and early for a very fun shoot! :-)."
While she didn't share any hot shots of herself, it looks like it was a gorgeous day. Naya tweeted, "The weather is so nice at the beach right now! Tough days work. ;-)." We can't wait to see the photos...

The Labor Movement Shall Not Be Erased From History
Bill Londrigan: Working mostly behind the scenes in academic, political, and media circles for the past 40-plus years, corporations and the wealthy elite have funded a multipronged strategy to wipe out the history of the integral role played by the American labor movement in the founding and growth of our nation.

The Senate Finance Committee has launched a bipartisan "blank slate" review of the tax code by eliminating all credits and deductions as a first step.
So perhaps Congress should enact a law sunsetting the Internal Revenue Code by a date certain — say 2015 — forcing every special interest to defend its turf as a new code is built up.
A major aim of any new tax code should be to radically reform and reduce the role of the Internal Revenue Service, which has shown political bias as well as incompetence in administering the law.
In the latest blow to the reputation of the IRS, Russell George, the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration, has written Democratic lawmakers to deny that the IRS was evenhanded in its review of political committees seeking tax-exempt status. The agency's actions were, his letter shows, overwhelmingly slanted against conservative groups
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., complained last week to the inspector general that his criticism of the service for abusively targeting conservative Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status was one sided and ignored IRS scrutiny of "progressive" groups.
But Mr. George's answer makes it clear that the harassment suffered by Tea Party and other conservative groups was extremely one-sided.
Less than one-third of groups with the word "progressive" in their applications received extra scrutiny, he said, compared to 100 percent of groups labeled "Tea Party."
All of the "progressive" groups had their applications approved, while some tea party groups are still waiting.
It is understandable that Democrats are embarrassed by the news that the IRS tilted in their favor. But the evidence simply does not support their effort to explain away the problem as even-handed bureaucratic bumbling.
"While we have multiple sources of information corroborating the use of tea party and other related criteria ... we found no indication in any of these other materials that 'progressives' was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention," Mr. George wrote.
Rep. Levin responded that the inspector general had fully informed lawmakers: "Congress deserved to know that 'progressives' were on the IRS screening list during the time of the audit and progressive organizations were in the review group. These omissions changed the nature of the investigation ..."
But it turns out that "progressives" was an IRS watchword from some time in the past, and had nothing to do with the special scrutiny reserved in 2010 and 2011 for the tea party and groups with the words "Patriot" or "9/12" in their names.
When the deliberate leaking of tax return information of the National Organization for Marriage to the pro-gay-marriage Human Rights Campaign and similar leaks are taken into account, it is clear that the IRS and/or its employees have decided to play political hardball against the right.
That is simply unacceptable.
One potential remedy:
Let the law that created the IRS expire so that it can be re-written in a manner aimed at regaining Americans' trust in the federal tax agency.

The Next Generation In Social Analytics At Scale Is Already Here
Understanding what's happening in your category RIGHT NOW can be helpful knowledge to have in order to drive growth and focus campaign efforts.

You may be operating with limited resources, but do recognize the potential and you are starting to carve out a solid digital footprint [...] Read more →
Man Shaves Beard Off After 14 Years, and Family Reacts in Shock, in Remarkable Razor Ad
Yesterday, AdWeek reported on an ad campaign promoting M6 Razorblades in which an Israeli man shaves his beard off after 14 years. The commercial was filmed almost like a mini documentary and you get to experience the real emotional reaction from his wife, child, etc. Since the story delves into the man's personal connection to his beard, I thought it would be interesting to get a broader perspective. No time for a focus group or survey, I of course turned to our social media analytics which in a matter of minutes surfaced the top 10 things men like and dislike about their [...] Read more →
Why Do European Brands Dominate the Global Luxury Conversation?
What is it about luxury brands – those of European origin in particular – that have the global consumer so smitten? At a time when many economies across the globe are far from thriving, people will still save for that irresistible item that they cannot seemingly live without. Or simply buy it on credit. Why are we so passionate about luxury brands – and who is a luxury brand in the consumer's eye? Here are a few theories: The identity factor – Whether you're struggling to make the rent or carefully balancing a budget, a Louis Vuitton purse puts up [...] Read more →
Siri-ous Trouble
As someone with a title like Chief Innovation Officer, I probably should have been one of the first smart phone adopters. Truth be told, I didn't jump on that bandwagon until an investor looked at my phone during a board meeting and teased me for having an "old man phone". In my defense, I was actually an early adopter, but I got burned by the earliest Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) from Sharp. Does anyone remember the Sharp Wizard? Ok that was what I used back in the 90s! But it was so useless I decided to take a break from [...] Read more →
Finding Daily "Dunk in the Dark" Moments to Drive Supernormal Growth, and Why Most Brands Are Failing to Achieve That
During the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVII, a power outage halted play for 34 minutes. Oreo tweeted: "Power out? No problem," along with a photo featuring the now-famous tagline, "You can still dunk in the dark." Oreo's marketing reflexes were something magical on that day. Surely, they couldn't have predicted a power outage, yet it took them less than a half-hour to deliver one of the most memorable advertisements in the past few years. To date, the tweet has garnered more than 6,000 'favorites' and more than 15,000 re-tweets – and it's possibly still the most unforgettable part of [...] Read more →
Haute Couture – When Birds Of A Feather Don't Flock Together
As pink ostrich feathers took flight at Sotheby's inaugural haute couture auction in Paris last week, which featured vintage gowns from Didier Ludot's collection, the Balenciaga gown that plucked top dollar at auction where the entire lot sold out at triple pre-sale estimates—birds of a like feather were spreading their plumes in sometimes phantasmagorical settings at Haute Couture Fashion Week 2015 in Paris and Rome. But birds of a feather don't always flock together. Given the escalating pressures to produce 12 collections annually, plus a couture label, and maybe your own eponymous collection, there is a trend aloft to go off-piste, wherein designers literally escort [...] Read more →

Men's Fashion: Even Punk Doesn't Sacrifice Tailoring
Last month's Fashion Week flurry of Spring/Summer 2016 Men's Collections staged in London, Paris and Milan revealed both distinct trends and divergences among presenting designers. In an attempt to unravel and decipher what some fashion pundits suggested was an 'anything goes' hodgepodge of trends in men's fashion, I ran a social media analysis in NetBase. The resulting Crosstab analysis in this post is an attempt to provide a glimpse of some of the themes pervading men's fashion, where they might intersect, and to identify brands leading the narrative. The Paris Men's collection garnered significantly higher discussion around Street Style-both [...] Read more →

Automated Survey Based on Social Media
Author: Wei Li, Chief Scientist Automated surveys, using social media as sources, will eventually largely replace manual surveys. This is an inevitable outcome because social media has become the main outlet of public opinion, and technology continues to offer deeper analytical options for this readily available social data. Automated surveys, or auto-polls, use computers to collect public opinions and sentiments on a topic. By parsing social media big data and mining salient information (facts, evaluations and emotions), we can understand social users' views about any topic, and use that understanding to inform key business decisions. This Artificial Intelligence already offers numerous [...] Read more →

Program 322: Stones of England; Stockholm Al Fresco; The Finnish Sauna
Release Date: 04-20-2013
On Air Description
A lot of Stockholm's charm comes from how much land and waterfront is dedicated to parks and public access. On the next Travel with Rick Steves, we get a guide to enjoying the Swedish capital al fresco, where the locals make it a priority to get outdoors, any time of year.
We'll also explore the mysteries of the ancient stone circles and prehistoric monuments of England. And we'll hear how taking a sauna is an important part of life in Finland.
Meet another corner of the world each week, on Travel with Rick Steves.

Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissues are exposed to cold temperature for a prolonged period of time. Hands, feet, noses, and ears are most likely to be affected. If the blood vessels in the frostbite areas are affected, permanent damage can occur. Damage to the blood vessels causes death of the tissue it supplies. Tissue death may necessitate amputation of the affected area.

By Bio-IT World Staff
May 9, 2011 | Illumina announced today that it is lowering the price for sequencing whole human genomes through its service network, the Illumina Genome Network (IGN). The new list price for the service is $5,000 per genome for orders of ten samples or more, and just $4,000 for projects of 50 samples or more.
"We have been very pleased with the success of IGN since its introduction and with how well it has been received by the community," said Christian Henry, Illumina's senior VP and general manager, life sciences. "Researchers around the world value the rapid turnaround times, high data quality and accessible price points. Recent advancements in HiSeq technology push that value even further and demonstrate our commitment to continuing to lower cost and drive scale through sequencing technology advancements."
Illumina expects that the new pricing will enable customers to expand their study sizes, increase the depth of sequencing coverage -- especially for tumor samples -- and drive further adoption of whole-genome sequencing as the preferred method for assessing variation across genomes.
The price drop intensifies competition in the genome service industry, in which offerings from Complete Genomics and China's BGI loom large.
