American troops and missile batteries arrive on Syrian border

After weeks in which events in Syria took a back seat to the US presidential election campaign, Washington confirmed that the first US troops and equipment had arrived at Incirlik, an air-base in south-eastern Turkey.
Other western troops were photographed by Turkish media landing at Gaziantep airport, near the Syrian border and a short drive from Aleppo, the country's biggest city.
American, German and Dutch troops will be staffing six batteries of Patriot missiles, to be stationed on the border at Turkey's request to deter Syrian attacks close to or over the frontier. Their defensive use has been stressed, but their deployment comes in the wake of renewed criticism by the Syrian opposition of the West's failure to intervene on its behalf, particularly against the regime's aerial attacks.

The Oscars, 15 things we want to see happen this year [Pictures]

Oscar dreams
As much as I love the Oscars, things can get a bit predictable, from the often inane presenter banter to the "Oh my god! I won?!" speeches. We, the viewer, deserve more. We pay these actors' salaries (sort of)! So here are 15 things I'd like to see go down at Sunday's ceremony (8:30 p.m.; ABC). It's really not too much to ask. -- Jordan Bartel

|(Withdrawn) AT&T's Randall & Stankey: Wireless data growth half the FCC prediction
|Written by Dave Burstein
|Friday, 27 January 2012 14:01
40%, not 92%-120% "Data consumption right now is growing 40% a year," John Stankey of AT&T told investors and his CEO Randall Stephenson confirmed on the investor call That's far less than the 92% predicted by Cisco's VNI model or the FCC's 120% to 2012 and 90% to 2013 figure in the "spectrum crunch" analysis. AT&T is easily a third of the U.S. mobile Internet and growing market share; there's no reason to think the result will be very different when we have data from others.
With growth rates less than half of the predictions, a data-driven FCC and Congress has no reason to rush to bad policy. Wireless technology is rapidly moving to sharing spectrum, whether in-building small cells, WiFi, White Spaces, Shared RAN or tools of what the engineers are calling hetnets - heterogenous networks. The last thing policymakers should do is tie up more spectrum for exclusive use; shared spectrum often yields three to ten times as much capacity.
Bad compromises on the video spectrum are unnecessary because plenty of spectrum is unused. That includes the 20 MHz that M2Z would be building out today if Julius hadn't blocked them; the 20 MHz the cable companies are sitting on and want to sell to Verizon; and the 30 MHz or so Stankey identifies as fallow at AT&T.
40% growth is still substantial, but wireless technology is improving at a breathtaking pace. LTE has about 10x the capacity of 2.5G and 4x the capacity of 3G. LTE Advanced, deploying beginning 2013 at Verizon, is designed for 10x the capacity of LTE. Putting more spectrum to use would be great, but let's do it right.
Wireless speeds are actually going up dramatically, with AT&T delivering 2-5 megabits to most of the country and Verizon's LTE delivering 5-12 megabits to 2/3rds of the population. Verizon is ahead of schedule to bring 5 megabits+ to 92% of the country in 2013 and 96-98% in 2015-2016. AT&T and Sprint have raised capex to catch up. 80%+ of the U.S. will have a 5 megabit offering in 2013-2014, 90%+ by 2015 or sooner. That's without any additional spectrum.
Today's wireless networks are designed to be shared: towers, WiFi, White Spaces, DAS and small cells all working together. The best engineers in the world are working on RAN sharing, SON, hetnets, 8x8 MIMO and techniques I'm writing about in my next book, Gigabit Wireless. AT&T in fact is one of the world leaders in DAS, WiFi and femtos and behind the scenes a key thought leader. There's wonderfully exciting stuff I'll be doing my best to translate for non-engineers.
Takeaway: The future is sharing the airwaves so let's get the policy right.
I can't imagine a more authoritative source on traffic patterns today than the CEO of AT&T, Randall Stephenson, talking to investors. Lying in Washington is part of the game, but Randall knows lying to Wall Street can backfire. http://seekingalpha.com/article/322378-at-t-s-ceo-discusses-q4-2011-results-earnings-call-transcript On what is happening today on the network, he's a prime source. I can't agree with his conclusions about the future needs for spectrum, but that's opinion on both our parts. John Stankey, CEO of AT&T Business Solutions and former company CTO, goes into far more detail at http://seekingalpha.com/article/317986-at-t-s-ceo-presents-at-citi-global-entertainment-media-telecommunications-conference-transcript . It's an excellent summary of how T is speeding up networks and making them more reliable even before spectrum becomes available. Definitely a good read if you're technically minded. My guess is that if AT&T reveals all the technical details on traffic the number will be a little higher than the 35-40% referenced by the execs, but not enough to change the thrust of this article.
Cisco's Visual Network Index draws on the actual data from the biggest carriers in the world and is the best source on traffic today. Ignore the preamble written by the marketing folk and get right into the data tables. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/collateral/ns341/ns525/ns537/ns705/ns827/white_paper_c11-520862.html
The official FCC data is http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-302324A1.pdf . This is now called FCC STAFF TECHNICAL PAPER .MOBILE BROADBAND: THE BENEFITS OF ADDITIONAL SPECTRUM . OCTOBER 2010. It was originally issued as OBI TECHNICAL PAPER SERIES from the Omnibus Broadband Initiative (the broadband plan) but the staff from the plan rebelled and demanded their name be taken off. While they believed in releasing more spectrum, they had looked closely at the data and didn't believe the claims in this paper. I got an email from inside the FCC. "There was a big push to manufacture a spectrum crisis. It's a lie that's being perpetuated to the uncertain benefit of a few and definite detriment of the rest." http://dslprime.com/a-wireless-cloud/61-w/3972-julius-scandal-manufacturing-spectrum-crisis I passed the story to the Washington Post including a prime source with a senior position at the FCC but they never followed up. Teflon Julius.
For the coming wireless technology, the details are at the official standards, The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). They are hard to follow even for engineers, unfortunately. That's why I have to write a book to translate them. http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Information/WORK_PLAN/Description_Releases/ You want Release 10 (LTE) and Release 11 (LTE Advanced).

Pomysły mam, tylko trudno mi ocenić, czy nie za trudne albo za dziecinne. Albo
za długie. Ale może da się wybrać kilka zwrotek z długiego wiersza?
To jest jeden z moich ulubionych wierszyków dla dzieci:
I found a little beetle; so that Beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.
I put him in a match-box, and I kept him all the day ...
And Nanny let my beetle out -
Yes, Nanny let my beetle out -
She went and let my beetle out -
And Beetle ran away.
She said she didn't mean it, and I never said she did,
She said she wanted matches and she just took off the lid,
She said that she was sorry, but it's difficult to catch
An excited sort of beetle you've mistaken for a match.
She said that she was sorry, and I really mustn't mind,
As there's lots and lots of beetles which she's certain we could find,
If we looked about the garden for the holes where beetles hid -
And we'd get another match-box and write BEETLE on the lid.
We went to all the places which a beetle might be near,
And we made the sort of noises which a beetle likes to hear,
And I saw a kind of something, and I gave a sort of shout:
"A beetle-house and Alexander Beetle coming out!"
It was Alexander Beetle I'm as certain as can be,
And he had a sort of look as if he thought it must be Me,
And he had a sort of look as if he thought he ought to say:
"I'm very very sorry that I tried to run away."
And Nanny's very sorry too for you-know-what-she-did,
And she's writing ALEXANDER very blackly on the lid,
So Nan and Me are friends, because it's difficult to catch
An excited Alexander you've mistaken for a match.

Flowers leaves role at Kiddie
Posted: May 17, 2014|
Kidderminster Harriers have announced first-team coach Tim Flowers is leaving the Conference Premier side to take up a position with a Football League club.
Former England goalkeeper Flowers, 47, has been part of Harriers boss Gary Whild's coaching set-up since March.
"To be able to coach and train with the lads every day was great for me and I thoroughly enjoyed that," Flowers said. "Under any circumstances I would've liked that have continued, Kidderminster is a tremendous club."
Flowers' playing career began at Wolves and included spells at Southampton and Blackburn Rovers, where he won the Premier League title in 1995.
He also won 11 caps for England and was part of the squad at Euro 96 and the World Cup in 1998.
As a coach, Flowers spent time as Iain Dowie's number two at Coventry City in 2007, at QPR the following year and in the top flight with Hull.

Kerala is where Indian life slows down, with lagoons, coconut groves, exotic spice plantations and wildlife in abundance, not to mention some of the best food in the country. For £1699 per person for solo travellers, you can now experience this unspoilt corner of India on your own private tour. We've seen similar packages for up to £350 more, and that's for group tours with shared transfers.
What's included
Depart on 7, 14, 21, 28 September; 5, 12, 19, 26 October; 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 November; 7, 14 December; 4, 11, 18, 25 January; 1, 8, 15, 22 February; 1, 8, 15, 22, 28 March, 2015.
Travel on the same dates from Manchester for £90 more per person, or from Glasgow for £150 more per person.
The trip starts in Kochi, on the west coast of India. Known for its blend of cultures, the seaside town is home to Chinese fishing nets that stretch out across the water, a Jewish synagogue and the Portuguese Mattancherry Palace -- the included excursions take in all three. This leg also includes a free cooking lesson with a local TV personality.
Next, you'll be driven to Munnar along winding roads and through spice gardens, with a stop at a tea plantation and museum, including a free tasting session, plus a chance to ride an elephant. Continue on to Thekkady, India's largest wildlife sanctuary, for a 2-night stay plus a wildlife-spotting boat cruise in the Periyar Tiger Reserve.
Then it's a 2-day punt on a houseboat along the backwaters of Kerala, overhung by coconut trees and lush vegetation. Locally called a kettuvallam and held together entirely by knots, these houseboats give a real insight into Keralan life.
The trip finishes with a 3-night stay in Kovalam, a fishing village with pristine beaches and many Ayurvedic (alternative medicine) retreats. Here, you'll get a free Ayurvedic full-body massage.
Transfers & baggage
The deal includes 20kg checked luggage and all transfers by private chauffeured car.
Other options
The same deal is £1199 per person based on two sharing.

CONYERS - Two of the three counties served by Project ReNeWal may not be bearing their share of the financial burden, according to an attorney hired by the organization that serves abused women in Rockdale, Newton and Walton counties.Derek Bauer, an attorney with McKenna, Long & Aldridge in Atlanta, sent a letter Tuesday to members of the Newton County Board of Commissioners and the Walton County Board of Commissioners demanding that the counties disburse what are called "5 percent fees" to Project ReNeWal, claiming that the counties had not been doing so and are, therefore, in violation of state law. "The legislative intent and statutory mandate of the '5 percent fee' program are clear that where a county or municipality refers to, relies on and is greatly served by a certified program as Newton County (and Walton County) refers to, relies on and is served by Project ReNeWal, the '5 percent fees' collected under (state law) are required to be disbursed directly by you ... to such programs," Bauer's letter states. "This is not occurring in Newton County" nor in Walton County. According to the Official Code of Georgia Section 15-21-130, an additional 5 percent penalty is to be added to fines imposed by courts that are to be used to fund victim's assistance programs as approved by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Project ReNeWal is the only Criminal Justice Coordinating Council-certified family victim's assistance program serving Walton and Newton counties, Bauer said. "Our intention was not to file any litigation; we just want to sit and talk," said Vickie Stevenson, executive director of Project ReNeWal. "We need their help, especially after all the homicides Newton County had in the past year, we wanted to make sure we're being of as much service to them as we can be." Stevenson said that at least nine of the 14 murders reported in Newton County between September 2006 and November 2007 were "direct results of domestic violence." On Feb. 19, Bauer sent a letter to Newton County Chairman Aaron Varner and Walton County Chairman Kevin Little "inviting" the chairmen and the respective county attorneys to meet informally with Project ReNeWal board members to discuss the counties' "historical noncompliant disbursements" of the 5 percent fees. Bauer said the law requires that these fees be collected by the Superior Court Clerk's Office and transmitted to the Superior Court Clerks Authority, which then disburses the funds to the county commissions. The county commissioners are then required to distribute those fees to certified agencies that provide victims' services in the county from which the fees originate. "What (the counties) are doing is disbursing the funds to the district attorney to do what he wants," Bauer said. "The temptation to misuse these funds is very strong." After receiving no response to his "invitation," Bauer sent the Tuesday demand letter, along with a draft petition for writ of mandamus and complaint for attorney's fees, asking the boards of commissioners to respond by April 11. A writ of mandamus is an injunction that only applies to public officials to compel a public official to perform his clear legal duty, Bauer said. Ken Wynne, district attorney for the Alcovy Judicial Circuit, which includes Walton and Newton counties, declined to comment Wednesday due to the potential for litigation. According to Mia Wilson, finance director for Rockdale County, the 5 percent fees collected in 2007 from fines collected in Superior Court, State, Magistrate, Probate and Juvenile courts amounted to $135,396. Of that, $64,852 was given to Project ReNeWal and $68,054 was provided to the District Attorney's Office to help pay the salaries of two victims' witness advocates. In addition, Wilson said that Rockdale County provided $60,000 in 2007 to the battered women's shelter out of the county's general fund. Calls to the Walton County finance director were not returned as of press time. The Newton County finance director and executive officer were unable to return calls placed late Wednesday. Information provided by Bauer's office shows that the Newton County District Attorney's Office paid $5,000 to Project ReNeWal in 2007 and the District Attorney's Office in Walton County paid $25,000 that year. Stevenson said Project ReNeWal's income for the 2007-08 fiscal year - which runs from July 1 to June 30 - is $487,886. Anticipated expenditures are $555,195, putting them nearly $68,000 over budget. Today, Project ReNeWal will be hosting a workshop for law enforcement officers in Newton County at the Newton County Sheriff's Office to instruct officers in handling domestic violence cases. Stevenson said officers will be trained on what to ask, what to look for, how to separate a victim from an abuser, how to talk to children and how to determine whether a family pet has been repeatedly harmed. "These are some of the outreach programs we conduct," Stevenson said. "We just want them to sit down with us and talk to us. We just want a working relationship with the county."

Need Recommendations on "Restoring" NBU 5.1 Tape data using NBU 7.5
I have been tasked with getting data from some old LTO-2 tapes made with NBU 5.1. My goal is not to restore it to a new NBU environment but to simply dump all contents from the tapes to disk. For this I have set up a machine with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (64-bit), 8 Gb RAM, 4 TB external HD and HP-Ultrium 448 tape drive with U160 SCSI HAB. All hardware and software diagnostics pass before a NBU install. I have admin rights. The machine is unconnected to any other device.
I obtained a copy of NBU 7.5 (since I cannot get 5.1), carefully read the startup and install guides and thought that I had successfully installed it. However, my initial effort was unsuccessful at allowing me to browse the tape contents, much less offload the files. The experience gave me a lot of respect for the expertise exhibited in these forums.
I subsequently uninstalled NBU 7.5 and plan to reinstall it.
My initial questions are these:
1. Is there anything like a how-to guide for the steps to this basic restore operation?
2. Do any unusual things need to be done during the install?
3. Do I need to install a client on the server? Or is the Master Server / Media Server combination enough?
4. Almost nothing is known of the tapes, except that there is data on them. I do not know the MediaIDs, etc. Is there anything I can do to discover catalog names, client names, etc.? (I have been reading these forums and have tried a few things, such as bplistimage, but this did not return any values at all while NBU was installed on the machine.)
5. What advice for completeing the task would you give me? How would you approach this problem?
Any and all help would be deeply appreciated.
Best Regards
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Please disable UAC on the Windows server. I have previously seen it causing issues with restores.
Have you run the Device Config wizard to add the tape drive to NBU config? (I assume standalone tape drive? No robot?)
The first step is to detemine the media-id. I assume there is no external label?
Hopefully loading the tape into the drive, waiting for the Ready light to come on, will show internal media id on tape's header in Device Monitor.
If not, it may be necessary to run a physical inventory on the tape drive:
From cmd:
vmphyinv -u <drive_number>
(drive_number is the index number - probably 0 if you have only one drive)
This action should add media id in Media section of the GUI.
You will need to do this for all tapes.
After this, you can proceed to import the tape into NBU catalogs.
See this TN for howto steps: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43584
Complete phase 1 and phase 2 import as per the TN.
Important to first do phase 1 import for all tapes before phase 2 is started for all tapes.
Please check Results tab to see original client name and backup dates.
Hopefully policy type will also be listed - you will need all of this info to restore data.
There is no need to install Client or any other software.
After successful import, you can browse for backups using the BAR (Backup Archive and Restore) GUI.
This Getting Started Guide should help you: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5146
The Source Client will be the original client.
The Destination Client will be you master/media server.
Policy type will hopefully be Standard (Unix/Linux) or MS-Windows.
Hope this helps!
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama steered the nation's war machine into uncharted territory Friday when a U.S. drone attacked a convoy in Yemen and killed two American citizens who had become central figures in al-Qaeda.
It was thought to be the first instance in which a U.S. citizen was tracked and executed based on secret intelligence and the president's say-so. And it raised major questions about the limitations of presidential power.
Anwar al-Awlaki, the target of the U.S. drone attack, was one of the best-known al-Qaeda figures after Osama bin Laden. American intelligence officials had linked him to two nearly catastrophic attacks on U.S.-bound planes, an airliner on Christmas 2009 and cargo planes last year.
He also exchanged e-mails with U.S. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 13 people in 2009 at the U.S. military base at Fort Hood, Texas.
The second American killed in the attack, Samir Kahn, was the editor of Inspire, an online magazine aimed at al-Qaeda sympathizers in the West.
U.S. officials say intelligence indicates that al-Qaeda's top Saudi bombmaker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, also died. Al-Asiri is thought to have made the explosives used in the foiled Christmas Day airline attack in 2009 and last year's attempted cargo plane bombing.
"Al-Qaeda and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world," Obama said in announcing al-Awlaki's death. "Working with Yemen and our other allies and partners, we will be determined, we will be deliberate, we will be relentless, we will be resolute in our commitment to destroy terrorist networks that aim to kill Americans."
Republicans and Democrats alike applauded the decision to launch the fatal assault on the convoy in Yemen.
"It's something we had to do," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "The president is showing leadership. The president is showing guts."
"It's legal," said Maryland Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. "It's legitimate, and we're taking out someone who has attempted to attack us on numerous occasions. And he was on that list."
That list is the roster of people the White House has authorized the CIA and Pentagon to kill or capture as terrorists. The evidence against them almost always is classified.
Before al-Awlaki, no American had been on the list.
Critics note that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that no American shall be "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, al-Awlaki's father, Nasser al-Awlaki, a former agriculture minister and university chancellor in Yemen, challenged the administration's decision to place his son on the kill list in April 2010, but the lawsuit was thrown out of federal court.
On Friday, Jameel Jaffer, the ACLU's deputy legal director, said the government's targeted killings violated U.S. and international law.
"As we've seen today, this is a program under which American citizens far from any battlefield can be executed by their own government without judicial process, and on the basis of standards and evidence that are kept secret not just from the public but from the courts," Jaffer said.
Robert Chesney, a law professor at the University of Texas who specializes in national-security law, said he thought the killing was legal. But he said it was "plenty controversial" among legal specialists.
The administration's legal argument in the case of al-Awlaki, Chesney said, appears to have three elements: First, al-Awlaki posed an imminent threat to the lives of Americans; second, he was fighting with the enemy in the armed conflict; and third, there was no feasible way to arrest him.
But in taking this step, the Obama administration raised questions about whom else the president has the authority to kill. In principle, such an attack could probably not happen inside the United States because the CIA is forbidden from operating here and the military is limited in what operations it can carry out domestically. But civil-rights groups have questioned whether the government has opened the door to that possibility.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney refused to even acknowledge the government's direct role in killing al-Awlaki. He ducked questions about the extent of Obama's authority and said only that al-Awlaki had been an operational leader for al-Qaeda.
"Is there going to be any evidence presented?" Carney was asked.
"You know, I don't have anything for you on that," he responded.

Regarding: Interview Process
Particulars of information required: As per list mentioned below
1) Names of Candidates Applied for CSR officer Position (All) with their resumes.
2) Names of Candidates Shortlisted for Interview for CSR Position with their Resumes/Bio-data/ Curriculum Vite
3) Criteria used for Short listing Candidates for CSR Position
4) Name's of Interviewee for CSR Position and date of Interview
5) Remuneration offered to selected candidate
6) Reasons for not selecting other candidates who were not selected in short listing
7) Previous work experience of selected candidate in CSR field
This is in reference to statement made by Anand Sharma
he says "Cattle and buffaloes which account for over 60 per cent of meat production, are primarily reared for milk and towards the end of their productive life, are utilised for meat production. A ban on meat production or export would lead to an abnormal rise of unproductive animals which is inconsistent with sound animal husbandry practices,"
This is news to me because animals are sentient beings capable of thought and emotion, including love and suffering like humans and get old like human beings.
1. The present set of ministers including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are well above 70 and 80 in the cabinet. Most of them are so old that they don't even have energy to speak to public regularly. How productive are "spent and old humans " when compared with "spent and unproductive animals"?
2. Does ministry plan to dispose off 'spent prostitutes (who are humans)' after 'productive ages' of prostitution or when sex workers reach age of lets say UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi or even former spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi. Does ministry sell/kill the unproductive folks of their family. how productive are old humans for country eating pension and taxpayers' money?
3. How does the ministry view 'mining' and 'export of raw minerals' - both through foreign companies even when fertility of soil is not reduced and it is productive, even when people are well populating such places. Is this racism against those inhabiting mineral rich states like Karnataka , Jharkhand or Orissa. Is this displacement and racism also enshrined in constitution because the amount of HDI of these states are very low.
4. Does the constitution enshrine destroying animals and environment for profit making over humans. Does it enshrine politicians who are also humans never become unproductive till death?
5. why does government have to participate in such export activities? Is it not insulting principles of constitution when the humans are peacefully living with flora and fauna?
please send the answers as soft copy to email not wasting papers.

This has reference to the special trains provided to the North East residents of India following the rumors about they being under threat. This was around Aug 15, 2012. It came to my notice that 2 special trains were provided from Bangalore and the following day, one special train was provided from Hyderabad to Guwahati.
I wish to know (with supporting papers if possible) who sanctioned the special trains for these people and on whose orders. Also, since the trains were provided too quickly to deal with exodus, did the government already know these people will be leaving south India or was it a time-based action taken by government to prevent further mayhem? Please send me copied of supporting documents wherever possible.
Thanks & Regards,

Protecting Our Rivers and Streams Where We Live
Take a moment to think about all the places you have lived, not by apartment or job or city, but by the closest river, stream, lake, or sea. It takes me just a few moments to trace back my life in relation to water. I learned how to swim as a baby in Long Island Sound, moved near Lake Norman in North Carolina when I went to college, spent my first job in the town of Potomac on the Potomac River, and then moved to the Baltic Sea when I fell in love.
Whether or not you think of yourself as a water expert, you can probably also remember the biggest threats to those watersheds: whether it was safe to swim in them, whether you could eat the fish, or whether trash polluted the beaches. My childhood on Long Island Sound coincided with the worst of its pollution, both from sewers and industry. My grandfather talked incessantly about the dolphins that used to chase his fishing boat around, but by the time I swam there, they had abandoned us for cleaner waters.
The body of water closest to my family now is the New River, a National River in the National Park System. When our clean water group, the New River Clean Water Alliance, decided to start a volunteer monitoring program on Arbuckle Creek, a tributary to the New River, at first I was amazed at just how many people wanted to give up part of their week to see what was really in the water. We have had so much interest in the volunteer program that we are going to expand its scope. And more than one volunteer has taken on extra projects just because they are so interested.
Of course, that makes sense. We drink it, swim in it, play in it. We sit by the water when we are feeling contemplative, we linger on foot bridges. We need to know what's in the water. Before you can help a watershed you have to know it. Volunteering to monitor the water is volunteering to make a huge difference. The data we collect and the interest we express will have ripple effects down the New River, into the Mississippi, and all the way out to the ocean. And then, maybe because of the time we put in, our children will look back on their lives and be able to remember the places they have lived in clean waterways.
If you are in the New River Gorge area, you can contact our West Virginia Field Office at 304-469-4433 to sign up. If you're not in West Virginia, you can get in touch with your local watershed association. Chances are there are opportunities to help your local creek, lake, or beach. If there isn't a local watershed association—start one! Great resources exist at the Center for Watershed Protection: http://www.cwp.org/. You can also learn more about the state of the New River watershed at http://www.npca.org/news/reports/watershed_report.html.

October 2013 Indie Next List
"This novel spans two centuries and offers the reader details of travel, adventure, love, family dysfunction, and science. Alma Whitaker is born in 1800 to a self-made man who becomes the richest man in Philadelphia. Alma is brilliant but homely, and during her long, loveless life she pursues the study of botany, ultimately proposing one of the first theories of evolution. Gilbert expertly tracks Alma's travels around the world, her struggles with her family and the man with whom she falls in love, and her desperate need to understand the mechanisms behind all life."
— Kate Mai, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX
A glorious, sweeping novel of desire, ambition, and the thirst for knowledge, from the # 1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Committed
"Look out for Elizabeth Gilbert's new book, "Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear," on sale now
In "The Signature of All Things," Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry's brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father's money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma's research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life.
Exquisitely researched and told at a galloping pace, "The Signature of All Things" soars across the globe from London to Peru to Philadelphia to Tahiti to Amsterdam, and beyond. Along the way, the story is peopled with unforgettable characters: missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it is the story of Alma Whittaker, who born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas. Written in the bold, questing spirit of that singular time, Gilbert's wise, deep, and spellbinding tale is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers.

CBJ SELECTS CURCURUTO: If this were an "all-name" draft, the Blue Jackets might be contending for top honors! With the 182nd overall pick (seventh round), Columbus selected defenseman Gianluca Curcuruto from the OHL's Sault-Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
Curcuruto is a native of Toronto and just completed his second full season in the OHL. He is listed at 6-foot and 195 lbs., and is a left-handed shot on the blue line. In 2011-12, he registered three goals and 16 points in 63 games, after posting one goal and 25 points in 56 games the previous year.
We will have more on all of today's Blue Jackets draft picks following Scott Howson's media session, which is scheduled to take place shortly after the conclusion of the seventh and final round of the draft.
UPDATE: The Blue Jackets have selected RW Daniel Zaar from Sweden with the No. 152 overall pick in the NHL Draft. Zaar is regarded as a skilled offensive player whose game has continued to develop as he's grown older. He checks in at 5-foot-11 and 170 lbs., and has the ability to both score pretty goals with his accurate shot and drive hard to the net.
Here's a brief scouting report on Zaar, courtesy of Eliteprospects.com:
"A pretty all-round player with an excellent shot - accurate and hard. Also a fine one-time release. Has overall pretty good offensive skills and usually finds the net. Should continue improving his speed and strength."
Zaar posted 14 goals and 38 points in 44 games this past season with Rogle U20 in Sweden, and added five goals and eight points during the club's seven playoff contests. He appears to be a rising star in the Swedish hockey ranks, and his offensive numbers have improved as he climbed the competitive ladder.
At the World U18 tournament this past year, Zaar tallied one goal in Sweden's three games.
The Blue Jackets have made their first three selections on the second day of the NHL Draft at CONSOL Energy Center. So far, GM Scott Howson and his staff have added two highly-rated goaltenders and an up-and-coming forward from the Ontario Hockey League.
Here is a recap of today's additions to the CBJ organization, courtesy of the Blue Jackets' public relations department:
DANSK: Columbus used its second round pick to select goaltender Oscar Dansk with the 31st overall selection. The 6-foot-2, 186-pound native of Stockholm, Sweden posted a 2.82 goals-against average, .910 save percentage and two shutouts in 28 games with Brynas Jr. of the Swedish Junior League in 2011-12. He recorded a 2.70 GAA, .911 SV% and one shutout in 21 games with Brynas Jr. in 2010-11.
KORPISALO: In the third round, the Blue Jackets selected Jokerit Jr. (Finland Jr.) goaltender Joonas Korpisalo with the 62nd overall pick. A native of Pori, Finland, he registered a 2.04 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and four shutouts in 38 games with Jokerit Jr. of the Finnish Junior League. He also represented Finland at the 2012 World Under-18 Junior Championships and went 3-3 with a 3.02 GAA, .902 SV% and one shutout in seven games, helping the club reach the bronze medal game.
ANDERSON: Columbus used its fourth round pick to select London Knights (Ontario Hockey League) right wing Josh Anderson with the 95th overall pick. A 6-foot-1, 183-pound native of Burlington, Ontario, he registered 12-10-22, 34 penalty minutes and a +17 plus/minus rating in 64 games. He added 2-3-5, four penalty minutes and was +4 in 19 playoff games, helping the Knights win the OHL championship.
Stay tuned, there's plenty more to come from Pittsburgh!
THIS JUST IN: The Blue Jackets have selected LW Josh Anderson of the London Knights (OHL) with the 95th overall pick. The pick originally belonged to the Vancouver Canucks, but was acquired in the Samuel Pahlsson trade at the trading deadline in February.
In 2011-12, Anderson debuted into major junior hockey and played his first season with the Knights. He put up 12 goals and 22 points during his rookie campaign, and is considered to be a two-way forward that can check effectively and chip in on the offensive end.
Barring trade, Columbus does not have another selection in the fourth round. We'll keep you updated on any news that comes down the pike as the draft continues here at CONSOL Energy Center!
The Blue Jackets have made their first two selections on day two of the NHL Draft -- and a pair of young, talented goaltenders will be joining the organization. Columbus used the 31st overall pick to draft Oscar Dansk from Shattuck St. Mary's, and he said today he will be coming over to North America this fall to play major junior hockey.
His rights are not owned by any team at this point, but that should be settled in the next few days, he said. Dansk is regarded to be one of the top goaltenders in this year's class, and scouts say he is a very skilled puck-handler and plays an athletic style between the pipes.
Here are some comments from Dansk shortly after his selection:
What was it like when you heard your name called, it happened pretty quickly?
Yeah, like you said it was really quick….I didn't know what to expect coming in here today. I just came in with a smile and hoping everything went good so it did and I was really happy.
Did you think you would hear your name called last night?
I had my hopes on going last night. I was really excited coming in last night too. It was a little disappointing walking out of here after sitting here for a few hours. But coming back here today I was happy and I was ready to go.
What are your thoughts about heading to Columbus, have you had a chance to talk to any members of the organization yet?
I did at the combine, other than that we really haven't spoken much after that, but we had a good conversation at the combine and I'm really happy that they chose me.
What's the plan for you going forward for you now, I imagine you would go back to Sweden and play there and continue your development?
I'm planning on coming over here and playing major junior actually. It's going to be really exciting.
Do you have any idea where it will be?
No, not right now. We'll see in a few days.
JACKETS ADD KORPISALO: Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson and amateur scouting director Tyler Wright each made it clear that adding goaltending prospects to the organization would be a focal point of this year's draft. They stayed true to their word and used their first two selections today on netminders -- both with a European flavor and who are regarded as key cogs in a deep goaltender class.
With respect to Korpisalo, he's a 6-foot-2, 163 lb. goaltender who hails from Pori, Finland. The 18-year-old has played two seasons in the renowned Jokerit organization in Finland: in 2010-11, he played 15 games for Jokerit's under-18 club and posted a 2.55 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.
The next season, he made the jump to Jokerit's Finnish junior club and suited up for 55 games. His numbers got even better -- Korpisalo lowered his goals-against average to 2.04 in those starts, and posted four shutouts along with a .904 save percentage.
Korpisalo began and finished the year as Central Scouting's third-ranked European goaltender.
Well, that was fun -- are you ready for (a lot) more?
After last night's thrilling ride through the first round of the NHL Draft, we're back at it for rounds 2-7 at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Roll call has just taken place, and was conducted by NHL senior vice president Jim Gregory (he does a fantastic job).
Ryan Murray and I walked into the rink together this morning, and he was still smiling ear-to-ear as he made his way to the Blue Jackets draft table to take in the second day's events. Columbus is on the clock right off the bat, and owns the No. 31 pick in the second round of the draft.
Keep it locked to the blog and BlueJackets.com, because the picks will be coming in fast and furious. We pack six rounds of action into roughly five hours...it's going to be fun!
The following is a recap of Howson's media session:
When you saw Murray fall to No. 2, did that end the discussion of trading the pick?
"We got a very attractive offer to move off, too, and we just said no. We got another offer from the same team and we said no again. They kept coming, but we were locked in on Ryan Murray. He was No. 1 on our list and that's the guy we wanted to take."
Would you have accepted the trade offers had Murray been chosen first overall?
Did you have a deal in place before the draft, should Murray go first?
"I had a tentative deal in place if Murray was gone. It's never a deal until it's done, but the framework was there, yeah."
Did all Rick Nash talk stop during the draft?
"Nothing tonight."
How much did you talk to (former Silvertips coach w/Murray) Craig Hartsburg before you made the decision?
"I talked to him briefly on the phone, but we had an hour lunch yesterday and talked a lot about Ryan Murray there. Anyone that's come in contact with Ryan just raves about him. It wasn't a hard decision at all."
How exciting is it to add a player like Ryan to an already-strong group of defensemen?
"It's certainly the strongest part of our team, and I think it's crucial to win in the NHL from the back end out. We added a goalie today, so hopefully we're getting a little sturdier in the defensive zone and in defending. Now we're going to have to address how we score."
Is Bobrovsky a player you had interest in for a while?
"Yeah. I've talked to (Flyers GM Paul Holmgren) about him for the last month. After the season ended, he said he might be moving him and we had some interest, and these things go back and forth. We got really serious the last three or four days. Especially as the goaltending market started to dwindle -- Lindback got traded, Harding re-signed...so the options started to become more and more limited."
Does Murray have a chance to be an NHL player this year?
"It's hard to say. I think he's got a chance. I think if you talk to people, most of the people I talked to said Yakupov and Murray were the guys that had the greatest chance to play in the league (this year). But hey, that's going to be decided by him in training camp. It's as simple as that."
Do you see offensive upside with Murray?
"I think he has that potential, yes. It's not his whole calling card, but he can still be a really useful player if he doesn't generate a lot of points. But it can be there. I think that's a little of an unknown with how much offense is he going to give you in the NHL."
Did anything make you think about keeping this year's 30th pick (from LA)?
"We were going right down to the wire. Dean (Lombardi) was calling me at 26, 27 and I said we've got to wait. There were two players that we wanted to see if they fall at 28 and then we might take the gamble thinking they might be there at 30 or 31. As it turned out, one of them was gone, so it made the decision easy after a certain pick."
What are some of the impressive qualities about Murray that made him stand out?
"Probably pedigree. Hockey sense, intangibles, character, leadership. I think they're all good players. It's not something you easily decide, but it became pretty clear to us."
Have you ever seen a crop of defensemen this deep?
"It reminded me of the Doughty, Bogosian, Pietrangelo and Schenn draft at the top. I think six of the first eight were defensemen or something like that. That's a lot of defensemen, especially when the trend recently has been to go after forwards early because they tend to play earlier. This was a unique draft in that way."
How much activity do you expect on the 31st pick?
"I've already had two offers. We'll consider anything, yeah. I will say there's a player there that we're pretty excited about."

Totino's Pizzeria Line Review and Giveaway
I love appetizers. I can make a meal out of them. And sometimes, at work, we do. Everyone brings in appetizers and we have an instant catered lunch. I like to pick at different things rather than eat a huge plate of one thing. I'm adventurous like that. (anyone who knows my eating habits, clearly knows that I am not adventurous when it comes to food). Appetizers are also very important on a daily basis. With a picky eater, I often need a quick meal idea for Bruce if we're eating something he won't and since we entertain a lot I always like to have good finger foods on hand.
One staple frozen appetizer in our house are Totino's pizza roles. I've tried other brands, including the store brands, and Bruce can always tell the difference. Now, Totino's has more to offer than just your basic pizza roles. Totino's has offered three new flavors of pizza snacks with their all-new Pizzeria line – Cheesy Garlic, Chicken Parmesan and Meatball Marinara. The cheesy garlic ones are my absolute favorite new finger food. They have the perfect blend of garlic and mozzarella cheese. They taste just like the cheesy garlic bread I get when we go to Italian restaurants. And they are a fraction of the cost.
I recently had a party and included these on my food table and they were a big hit. I raved about the cheesy garlic rolls for hours.
Totino's and Blog Spark sent me the following items:
- 3 VIP coupons, so you can try each of the 3 new flavors FREE

Scooter Libby
Under the Bus (cont'd)
November 16, 2009
Following up on Mike's post about the various people Obama has thrown under the bus, it does seem that there's an unusual amount of handwringing going on about Greg Craig, or at least about the manner in which he was thrown, through a series of well-orchestrated leaks. One of the most overwrought bits comes Steve Clemons who, in a Daily Beast piece titled "The Assassination of Greg Craig," writes: What just happened to Gregory Craig should not have happened in Obama Land.
The Weekly Standard, Where It's Always Good News For Republicans
November 06, 2009
Matthew Continetti's editorial in last week's issue of the Weekly Standard--"The Inevitability Myth: Health care reform is not a fait accompli"--makes the case that, despite all evidence, health care reform may not be enacted after all. (Continetti does concede that "the chances of some sort of health bill passing, at some point, are by no means negligible." So he's telling us there's a chance.) This sort of argument is actually the signature style of the Standard. A magazine like National Review specializes in making the case for conservative ideas.
Man-Made Disaster
December 24, 2008
Michael Chertoff needs an office. When I interviewed the secretary of Homeland Security this summer, we met in a pair of temporary locations between which he shuttles--first in the decaying Nebraska Avenue Complex of the naval station at Ward Circle (a center for signal analysis during World War II) and later in an unmarked and unfurnished office in the nondescript headquarters of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the Ronald Reagan building, near the White House.

Forget the shoddy memory defense. It looks like Scooter Libby's settled on a new strategy to avoid the slammer: blame the White House and Karl Rove. Byron York reports from the Libby trial: [Libby defense attorney Ted] Wells told the jury that the White House went all out to defend Rove against accusations he revealed Mrs. Wilson's identity, but did not protect Libby in the same way, leading Libby to suspect that he was being singled out for blame in the matter. "[Mr. Libby] was concerned about being the scapegoat," Wells said. "Mr.

Clinical and anatomic pathology is located within the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at the University of Missouri within the School of Medicine. Faculty in clinical and anatomic pathology are involved in the education of students in the School of Medicine, School of Health Professions, and the Graduate School. The department is involved in medical student education, and supports a residency program in clinical and anatomic pathology. Residents from other training programs also may rotate through the department in order to achieve the educational goals of their residency program. In addition to primary faculty, faculty from other School of Medicine departments and the local private practice pathology community are involved in the programs of clinical and anatomic pathology.
The Division of Clinical Pathology is responsible for handling all testing of patient specimens. Pathology clinical services are provided to University of Missouri Healthcare System facilities, Harry S Truman Veteran's Hospital, Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, and Columbia Regional Hospital. The clinical pathology laboratories include all areas of diagnostic laboratories involved in analyzying fluid specimens, such as blood samples, CSF samples, urine samples, and pathologic effusions. The testing is provided through specific clinical laboratories, including clinical chemistry, hematology, special chemistry, microbiology, serology, blood bank, coagulation laboratory, histocompatability (HLA) laboratory, ANA laboratory, diabetes laboratory, biochemical genetics, molecular pathology, flow cytometry, toxicology and drug testing, and a small number of satellite laboratories within clinics. Phlebotomy (having your blood drawn) can be arranged at any of the satellite laboratory locations. All staff pathologists are board certified in their specialties, and are available to answer specific questions for physicians. (Patient inquiries are generally re-directed to your physician, who can help explain test results with you.)
The Division of Anatomic Pathology is responsible for examination and diagnosis of tissue specimens obtained by physicians of the University of Missouri Health Care facilities. In addition specimens are sent to our pathologists for consultation from other hospitals and clinical practices. Biopsies are reviewed in Surgical Pathology, where a pathologist examines the specimen using a microscope, and arrives at a pathologic diagnosis. At times, a surgical pathology diagnosis also includes an analysis of proteins expressed (immunohistochemistry) in the tissue, or the fine structure of individual cells (electron microscopy). The evaluation of individual cells is conducted in the Cytopathology Laboratory. The most common specimens are Pap smears, but a variety of other cytologic samples, such as transbronchial washings, pleural effusions, or fine-needle aspiration biopsies, are also prepared in the cytopathology laboratory.
Forensic pathology services are provided for surrounding county governments and is a resource for coroners and medical examiners in central and other regions of Missouri. The Division of Forensic Pathology also oversees the autopsy service for the hospitals served. The Forensic Pathology division recently occupied a new state-of-the-art autopsy and investigation facility within the School of Medicine.
Faculty in clinical and anatomic pathology are involved in basic science research, translational research, and clinical studies. Some studies involve the discipline of laboratory medicine, some the discipline of anatomic pathology, and some are within other research focus-groups within the department. Pathology-designated space within the School of Medicine houses most of the department's research laboratories, and the medical examiner investigation facilities. Questions may be directed to the administrative offices of the department.

Roddy White Arrested (Smiling Mugshot)
by Quierra Luck | Posted on Tuesday, February 18th, 2014
From the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White has been arrested in Gwinnett County today for failure to appear in court.
White, whose full name is Sharod Lamar White, was arrested by Gwinnett County police and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail just before 4:30 a.m. He was released about 90 minutes later on $168 bond, according to jail records.
White allegedly failed to appear in court on a traffic charge out of Dacula. The Gwinnett sheriff's website shows an outstanding warrant for White on a charge of "non-transparent material on windows."
Cops play no games when it comes to window tint.

Archive for the 'Workplace Bullying' Category
For those of you who have seen the movie "Waiting", when I read this post, visions of "The Bat" kept coming to my mind. Anyone who has seen the movie will recall what I am talking about and those who have not, check the movie out it is a very funny look at behind the scenes in the restaurant industry.
That being said, this week the EEOC advised Flemings Prime something that is probably good business sense, don't flick your co-workers genitals. Whether these co-workers be male or female.
The EEOC announced that Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, at DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz., will pay nearly a quarter million dollars and furnish other relief to settle a same-sex sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.

Employee's Strike Back-National Database to Rate Your Boss And Says "Nobody Should Have to Work With a Jerk"
As I have blogged about in the past, many employees come to me to complain about what bad bosses they have or what jerks their bosses are and frankly, an employer being a jerk is not legally actionable under any state or federal law that I am aware of. But, now employees of the world, you may finally have your ability to take action, even if not in court, against your nasty boss. The ebosswatch.com's motto is "nobody should have to work with a jerk."
The site says that eBossWatch was launched in June 2007 to help people avoid hostile work environments and workplace bullying. Because it is extremely difficult during the job interview process to discover the true atmosphere at a potential employer and the true nature of a potential manager, eBossWatch is a critical job search resource for people who are considering a career change.
BossWatch enables you to anonymously rate your boss using a respectable and focused evaluation form so that job seekers can search for bosses at potential workplaces and can receive reports detailing the ratings that each boss has received.
You can tell the world on the internet if your employer is great or horrible. It also has a section called the National Sexual Harassment database where you can post complaints of sexual harassment by an employer or boss so that someone who is considering employment with that boss can look up that information. Its akin to the national sexual predator databases out there.
EbossWatch says that "The eBossWatch National Sexual Harassment Registry was inspired by the FBI's National Sex Offender Registry, which tracks and provides information about registered sex offenders.
The mission of our Sexual Harassment Registry is to help people avoid sexual harassers and to help put an end to sexual harassment by sending a strong message to those intending to harass their employees or coworkers that they will be publicly held accountable and will suffer serious consequences for their abusive actions."
The Sexual Harassment Registry keeps track of not only those complaints that have gone to trial, but those that complaints were filed on and even those where no actions were taken by employee since they realize that only a small percentage of these complaints go to trial.
So those of you who have great bosses, tell the world. Those of you who have horrible bosses tell the world. And most importantly, if you have been the subject of sexual harassment, tell the world.
The name of the site is www.ebosswatch.com. Check it out.

PROVIDENCE – If you are applying for a job, should your prospective employer be able to demand the password to your Facebook or other social media account? Should schools and colleges be able to require students or applicants to allow access to restricted portions of their social media profiles?
With sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Meetup gaining popularity, and new sites finding their way onto the Internet with increasing frequency, two state legislators say employees and students should not be forced to share their online lives with people at work or school.
"As a country, we are starting to get away from the private aspects of individuals' lives," Senate Majority Leader Dominick Ruggerio, sponsor of a bill that would prohibit employers and educational institutions from demanding that such information be turned over, said Wednesday. "I just think it is an issue of personal privacy."
Ruggerio, who represents parts of North Providence and Providence in the Senate, said the ACLU requested that he and Rep. Brian Patrick Kennedy, sponsor of the House version, submit the bill again this year.

Rabbit Proof Fence (Miramax
Films 2003, released on DVD 2003)
Those other kids that were taken, they were much younger.
They didn't know mother.
But I was older. I knew mother. I wanted to go home to mother.
Molly Craig (85, Jiigalong, Western Australia)
In 1901, the farmers of Western Australia built a fence. It
ran from north to south, sea to sea, and its goal was to keep the rabbit population
on one side, away from the farmland. This separation, this slicing off of
a part of the country, is symbolic of larger government policies which existed
in Australia, an issue which this brave new film (now available on DVD) seeks
to address. Rabbit Proof Fence tells the story of three young girls,
aged 8-14 years, who were victims of an Aboriginal Protection Policy which
sought to remove "half and quarter caste" children from their aboriginal
parents, and teach them to be "English." That is...to teach them
to "serve" the English. The theory was that within three generations
they could "breed out" the "coloured" blood and restore
purity to the race. The purpose...to "protect the aboriginal bloodlines!"
Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games, The Quiet American) has directed a quiet, yet deeply troubling film about this unspeakably disturbing time in Australia's history. The terrifying thing is that this policy was not repealed until the 1970s!
Rabbit Proof Fence had been previewed at a local cinema, for several months, but had never arrived. My mouth was watering, because the trailer made the film look very intriguing, so when I chanced upon a DVD copy in the local rental shop I took it home for Saturday night viewing. It was not our usual fare. The film is disturbing, and yet hopeful, as it shows a victory of the human spirit over the wrong-headed philosophies and policies of an imperialist government.
The film begins by setting the stage. This takes place in the Australian outback. Jigalong, in Western Australia, is an outpost. The land is at first look desolate, but signs of life appear. A child and her mother are hunting. The girl trees a lizard, and kills it. Dinner! She has learned the tribal techniques well. She is Molly Craig, aged 14, daughter of an aboriginal mother, and a white father who has moved on.
Cut to an office in the city of Perth. An Englishman named A.O.Neville
(Kenneth Branagh) sits at his desk, searching through index cards. He writes
down the name of a child. Molly Craig. She, her sister Daisy, and their cousin
Gracie are next on the list to be shipped off to the Moore River Native Settlement.
There they will be trained in English, forced to give up their own language
and traditions, taught to be servants for fine English ladies. Separated from
their mothers and families. Purified.
They came and took us one day. Couldn't even say goodbye. They told us this is our new home. They told us not to speak our language. They told us we had no mothers. I knew they were wrong. -- Molly Craig
Molly is 14. Older than many of the others. She refuses to stay, and although the Settlement has a native tracker who has succeeded in returning every runaway, she convinces her sister and cousin that they can make the trip back home. One evening, before a rainstorm (which will cover their tracks) they set out. Molly, who is beautifully portrayed by a young aboriginal girl (Everlyn Sampi), is a character you will never forget. Her large dark eyes show a depth of intelligence and emotion and convey both her confidence, and the terror Molly must have felt. The three young actresses (Sampi, as well as Tianna Sansbury as Daisy, and Laura Monaghan as Gracie) were amateurs. First time actors in the roles of a lifetime. They are extraordinary -- a "making of" featurette shows the process by which they won their roles.
Kenneth Branagh plays Neville, and he creates a character who could have been a parody of evil. Branagh plays him differently. He is simply a bureaucrat who believes in his job. He is not evil, he is just a man with a job to do. "Don't they [the Bushmen] realize that it's for their own good?" he queries. How many times in history have those words been spoken? To Neville the answer was obvious.
David Gulpilil, whose own breakthrough role was as the young bushman in Walkabout, delivers a finely controlled performance as the tracker sent to find the three girls. He develops a respect and affection for Molly as she bests him at every turn. He is another person doing his job. His daughter is resident at Moore River, and by tracking, he can stay close to her.
We just kids. We walk a long way. There's a fence somewhere. If we find that fence we go home. -- Molly Craig
The fence is long, from coast to coast. The three girls head out, knowing it was out there, and trace it back to their home at Jigalong. A series of fortunate accidents aids the girls in their journey. The police and the tracker are sometimes looking in the wrong place for them -- but just as often Molly manages to outsmart the searchers. The film shows her wiliness in evading capture; her techniques for finding food and shelter; her dependence on the kindness of strangers; her devotion to her sister and cousin. Gracie, the cousin, follows a different trail and is captured. Molly's response after she is reunited with her mother and grandmother, is to say, tearfully and quietly, "I lost one..." It is a tragic and heartbreaking moment. So too, is the final scene, which shows the real Daisy and Molly, over 80 years old, walking together near their home at Jigalong.
Rabbit Proof Fence is blessed with a sensitive and compelling score by Peter Gabriel, which echoes sonically the visual emptiness of the Australian landscape. The camera work is wonderful, shot in the washed out shades of yellow and brown that are Western Australia. This is an Australian film, of an Australian story, which speaks to the heart of everyone. Don't miss it. You will be moved.
