From the looks of it, about the only people who were reluctant to help two top filmmakers on their movie about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden were the people who actually planned the raid and pulled it off.
All the other key players, from the Pentagon to the White House to the CIA were on board and eager to tell the Obama administration's side of the story to Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow, who, the day after the raid in May 2011, set to work on Zero Dark Thirty, trying to get access to top officials at the Defense Department and the CIA, as well as in the secretive confines of special operators who planned and executed the mission.
The administration's exuberant, occasionally giddy assistance to the filmmakers, who had previously collaborated on an Oscar-winning film about the war in Iraq, is documented in a Defense Department Inspector General report obtained and posted online by the Project on Government Oversight. It finds that Leon Panetta, who at the time of the raid was the CIA Director, revealed names of special operations personnel involved in the raid, as well as other information that was designated Top Secret.
Pentagon officials were also eager to assist the filmmakers and arrange meetings with people who helped plan the raid. In the course of these discussions, administration officials revealed the names of military special operators who were not supposed to be publicly identified, partly over concerns that they or their families could be targeted for retribution.
But in contrast to the Obama administration's aggressive pursuit and prosecution of unauthorized disclosures of classified information and other leaks, apparently no action was taken against Panetta or the other officials who freely shared sensitive information with the filmmakers. Military officers thought operational security and protection of their forces should trump all. Political and policy level officials were not exactly indifferent to that concern, but they were keen to tell the administration's side of this extraordinary story, and to ensure their bosses came off in the best possible light.
Among those pushing hardest to cooperate with Bigelow and Boal was Douglas Wilson, then the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public affairs and the Pentagon's top communications strategist.
Wilson leaned on Adm. Eric Olson, the Special Operations commander, to cooperate with the filmmakers' research about the raid. Wilson noted that Panetta "wants the [Defense] Department to cooperate fully with the makers of the [bin Laden] movie." Michael Vickers, the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, was about to meet with the filmmakers and "want[s] to know what [to] say," Wilson told Olson in an e-mail.
Olson said Boal and Bigelow could use a set of talking points that had been drawn up "to ensure accuracy and provide context to the movie project." Then he reminded Wilson that one of his special operations planners, who had been involved in preparations for the raid, should "not be identified by name as having participated in any way."
This planner, according to the inspector general report, apparently knew many of the details about the preparations for taking down bin Laden and how the raid unfolded. He was so involved that as negotiations with the filmmakers unfolded, the planner was seen as qualified to speak on behalf of Olson, as well as the commander of the elite Joint Special Operations Command, Adm. Bill McRaven.
Olson was especially sensitive to protecting the planner's identity from public disclosure. And McRaven said keeping the names of all those involved in the planning and execution of the raid a "top aspect" of the mission. The Defense Department had provided "inordinate security" to the operators and their families, according to McRaven, and had gone so far as to brief them on whom to call if they noticed anything suspicious at their homes.
But at an interview in the Pentagon with Bigelow and Boal on July 15, 2011, Vickers gave the filmmakers with the name of that special operations planner. The next day, Boal e-mailed a public affairs desk officer at the Pentagon to "obtain access" to the planner.
Vickers and Wilson exchanged e-mails. "Very many thanks for this," Wilson wrote, referring to his meeting with Bigelow and Boal. "Think they came away very happy" from the meeting. Wilson said he'd put the filmmakers in touch with Olson's "key planner," and that this "should complete for now their requests of DOD."
Wilson exchanged a few excited emails with George Little, the Pentagon press secretary, who had also made himself available to Bigelow and Boal. "We're going to the premiere of the Boal/Bigelow movie next year," Little wrote.
"We'll be hosting it :-)," Wilson replied.
Little, who was director of CIA public affairs at the time of the raid, said that Panetta hoped Al Pacino would play him in the movie. "That's what he wants, no joke!"
"They will," Wilson replied.
Panetta was portrayed in the film by James Gandolfini.
At the same time, that special operations planner was sending e-mails to Pentagon officials, and speaking with Vickers, about the meeting he was expected to have with Bigelow and Boal. The planner wanted to talk first with a DOD public affairs officer, who noted in an e-mail exchange that press accounts were circulating about administration officials possibly providing the filmmakers with special access as well as classified information about the raid, something the public affairs officer denied.
"We may want to let the dust settle a little," the public affairs officer advised the special operations planner.
According to the planner, this was his last communication with the public affairs officer, and he never met with Bigelow and Boal.
But Boal did attend an awards ceremony at CIA headquarters on June 24, 2011, that recognized the efforts to track down bin Laden. DOD special operators were present, but not in a "cover status" that would have used a guise to protect where they worked and what they did, the report found. "No precautionary measures" were taken to keep Boal from identifying any of the operators.
It was at this ceremony that Boal was given another name of a DOD special operator who was involved in the bin Laden mission, the report states. This operator was not in a cover status, but the individual's name was not supposed to be publicly revealed.
There were conflicting accounts of whether the awards ceremony was a small gathering or a large affair, and whether it was really all that sensitive. According to one attendee, special operators were present in uniform with their names visible on their uniforms.
But the DOD tried to stop Boal from attending, according to the report. A public affairs officer at the department claimed that Panetta's chief of staff, Jeremy Bash, intervened and insisted that Boal come. Bash denied this, and said the decision to let Boal attend the ceremony came from discussions between the CIA's public affairs shop and the filmmakers. (Little was the head of CIA public affairs at the time.)
At the event, Panetta gave a speech and "specifically recognized the unit that conducted the raid and identified the ground commander by name," the report says. He also provided information designated Top Secret and Secret--the report doesn't say what the information was.
Later, McRaven was personally introduced to Boal. He was "surprised and shocked" that a filmmaker was allowed to the ceremony at CIA headquarters, the report says. The event was closed to the press.
Ultimately, no classified tactics, techniques, or procedures were revealed in the back and forth between Obama administration officials and the filmmakers, the report found. And McRaven and his subordinates said they weren't concerned that they had been.
Still, the apparent lack of response by the administration to keep sensitive information from being publicly revealed stands in contrast to the aggressive attempts to staunch leaks of other secrets and details about intelligence and military operations. The episode also underscores the distinction between authorized disclosures--which these all appeared to be--and unauthorized ones.
Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio are teaming up for a new biopic about former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.
Deadline reports:
"Gorbachev serves as a consultant on the project, which captures the dissolution of the USSR through his eyes. ... The movie, written by former Hell On Wheels showrunner John Shiban and executive produced by DiCaprio, Jennifer Killoran, Hanks, Goetzman and Industry Entertainment's Keith Addis, stems from DiCaprio's relationship with Gorbachev. The two met when the Russian Nobel Peace Prize winner appeared in DiCaprio's environmental movie The 11th Hour."
Also of note, former Washington Post Moscow bureau chief David Hoffman will be serving as a consultant on the film. Hoffman's tremendous book Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy, which won the Pulitzer Prize, would be essential material for anyone making a film about the Soviet Union in Gorbachev's time. It's good to hear that Hoffman will be involved with the production.
CBS has ordered a pilot for a new TV drama set at US Cyber Command, the homebase for the military's cyber defense and warfare activities. The show, called "Intelligence," is based around a man who has a microchip implanted in his brain that lets him sense the electromagnetic spectrum. I'm thinking Sneakers meets "The Mentalist." I love it already.
Deadline has news today that the producers have cast the role of CyberCom director. And she looks nothing like the real one.
Marg Helgenberger, formerly of "CSI," will be playing what appears to be the fictional version of Gen. Keith Alexander, the real head of CyberCom, and also the director of the National Security Agency. Deadline reports Helgenberger is playing the "director." The head of CyberCom goes by "commander."
The cast is coming together now, and I don't know much more about the plot than what's in the trades. The show's creator, Michael Seitzman, is a writer probably best known for the screenplay of North Country. "Intelligence" is described as a procedural in the vein of another CBS techno-drama, "Person of Interest," which is about data-mining and has some connections to my book, The Watchers. The creators of that show had read the book and gave it to some of their cast.
CBS still has to decide to pick up "Intelligence." But this looks to be one of the more timely dramas on the slate of upcoming pilots, and it would appear to fit with Hollywood's recent appetite for national-security themed shows. More to come--I hope.
This has been one of the more unpredictable and hotly contested Oscar races in recent memory. It's also hard to remember a year when so many movies about America at war or in conflict have been up for multiple Academy Awards. There are 24 nominations between Lincoln, Argo, and Zero Dark Thirty. And while some prime categories are still toss ups, a national security-themed pic is almost certain to win Best Picture.
It won't be Zero Dark Thirty. The year's most controversial major film has five nominations, including the top prize. But the Academy will not honor a movie that some members--dare we say many?--see as an endorsement of torture. The snubbing of previous winner Kathryn Bigelow for a Best Director nomination has to be read as a political statement on the part of the directors branch of the Academy. Screenwriter Mark Boal has a chance for original screenplay, but it's a slim one. As for ZDT's remaining major category, Best Actress, Pete Hammond at Deadline makes a persuasive case for why this one's a big toss up.
Personally, I think ZDT wasn't the year's best film. (I'd give it to Lincoln.) But I think it has been unfairly judged against its competitors. The movie is being held to an almost journalistic standard of truth-telling. Granted, the filmmakers kind of asked for this when they said they took a journalistic approach to writing and shooting the film. But while critics have pointed out that Lincoln and Argo have some significant historical inaccuracies, no one is judging them as harshly for it. If Lincoln doesn't win Best Picture, it won't be because of what Tony Kushner and Steven Spielberg may have gotten wrong about the Connecticut delegation's vote on the 13th Amendment. Nor will it be penalized for re-imagining aspects of one of the most fateful periods in U.S. history, which it does to great effect, in my opinion.
But Zero Dark Thirty is being judged, harshly, for what people think it gets wrong about recent history. This is an insurmountable dilemma for the filmmakers. I think the Academy should be free to vote however it pleases. But I'd prefer to see ZDT lose for artistic reasons; like, for instance, the second half of the movie feels out of step in tone and pacing with the first half, like they tacked an historical reenactment onto a spy movie. But alas, stick a fork in this one.
That leaves Argo and Lincoln as the frontrunners, and I'm betting on Argo. If for no other reason than it has major momentum going into the race, having snatched up the Golden Globe and the major guild awards. Ben Affleck was passed over for a Best Director nomination. (Academy directors have long been seen as turning up their noses at actors who step behind the camera.) But I don't think that significantly diminishes the movie's chances for the top win.
Aside from momentum and buzz, Argo is just an excellent film, and that counts for a lot. And don't overlook the fact that it's a story about Hollywood doing good for America. The Academy loves to pat itself on the back. Never mind that the truth is stretched in this movie too. It's a great flick, with a big Hollywood ending. Those are all good reasons for it to win.
The possible sneak attack in all of this is Ang Lee's Life of Pi. It has the second highest number of nominations, after Lincoln. Lee may well win the director prize in large part because he turned a book that many people saw as "unfilmable" into a dazzling master work of visual storytelling. If Lee wins, it may bode well for the movie's Best Picture chances, too. The Academy has only once given the top prize to a movie that wasn't nominated for Best Director: Driving Miss Daisy, in 1989.
Zero Dark Thirty, the new movie about the CIA's hunt for Osama bin Laden, premieres nationwide today. The film is in contention for a Best Picture Oscar, and it has already generated a whopping share of controversy.
The movie purports to be based on real events. But the filmmakers chose to change the names of most of the major characters, some of whom are or were CIA officers. So, let's peel back the aliases and look at who these folks really are.
First, there are two characters whose real names are used, either in the credits or in the film itself.
The first is CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash, who is credited in the movie only by his first name. He's also got the distinction of being the only character who's real name is actually spoken in the film. (The "CIA Director" calls him Jeremy in an elevator.) The chief of staff is played by John Barrowman, who you may recognize as the lead from the BBC sci-fi adventure series Torchwood.
Adm. William McRaven, former head of the Joint Special Operations Command, is also portrayed in the film. But his name is never uttered. He's just clearly the senior officer in charge after the successful SEAL raid on bin Laden's compound. He relays word back to Washington that a CIA officer has visually confirmed bin Laden's identity. Now, this is a little odd, but McRaven is listed in the IMDB credits as "McCraven." I don't remember whether the name was also misspelled in the film. Nevertheless, the filmmakers aren't hiding his identity. McRaven/McCraven is played by Christopher Stanley, aka Betty Draper's second husband, Henry Francis, on Mad Men.
Now for the aliases.
"Maya," the protagonist played by Jessica Chastain (up for a Best Actress Oscar), is based on a real CIA officer whose name hasn't been revealed. But Greg Miller of the Washington Post has a widely-read piece on what the real Maya is like, and how she differs from her on-screen version. Some at the CIA aren't too pleased with all the glory she gets in the movie.
Maya's close friend at the CIA, "Jessica," appears to be based on Jennifer Matthews, another real CIA officer who was killed, along with six others working for the agency, in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan in 2009. We profiled Matthews in the magazine in 2010. And Joby Warrick's book The Triple Agent chronicles Matthews and the bombing.
Leon Panetta is also protrayed in the film, by James Gandolifini. He is credited as "CIA Director," and obviously Panetta was in that position at the time of the raid. But the filmmakers also included one distinguishing characteristic of the outgoing CIA chief; namely, his fondness for lobbing the F-bomb. Panetta is famously foul-mouthed, and fiercely proud of it.
The true identities of the remaining significant characters are murkier.
The SEAL who fires the fatal shot at bin Laden could be drawn from Matt Bissonnette, who is the only member of the raid team to have written a book about it, and who did shoot bin Laden. In the film, the SEAL (he is not called Matt) is rather in awe of what he has just done, and seems to grasp, as does one of his buddies, his now indelible role in history. But in his memoir, Bissonnette didn't cast himself as uniquely heroic or important.
The filmmakers also didn't use the name of the "Pakistani doctor" who reportedly helped the CIA try to match the DNA of people living in bin Laden's compound with the terrorist's genetic data, which the agency had on file. You barely see the doctor in the movie, but he is Shakil Afridi, and he was profiled recently in GQ by Matthieu Aikins.
The character "National Security Advisor" looks like an amalgam of John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism adviser, and Tom Donilon, who is actually the National Security Adviser. This is confusing, though. The actor, Stephen Dillane, of the HBO series Game of Thrones, doesn't sound like Brennan or Donilon, but he sort of acts like Brennan. Gruff. No smiles. He also appears intimately familiar with CIA tradecraft and counterterrorism operations--another reason why this character is probably meant to be Brennan, a former CIA officer and the reported keeper of President Obama's terrorist kill list. "Game of Drones" anyone?
The character known as "The Wolf," a top-level CIA officer (you can tell by his big office) and a practicing Muslim (he prays in said office) must be this man, the chief of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, known publicly only as Roger. He "hunts" Al Qaeda. So he's The Wolf. Get it?
The character "George" is a rather ambiguous role. He's the CIA officer in charge of Maya and her team of analysts tracking bin Laden; she harangues him mercilessly over how long it's taking to get the authorization to go in and kill the fugitive terrorist. George also answers to higher authorities, namely The Wolf. So we'll count George, played by Mark Strong (who was outstanding in the 2011 remake of Tinker Tailor Solider Spy), as a still anonymous CIA boss who was integral in the hunt--and who's maybe a little put out by all the attention "Maya" is getting.
Finally, there's the detained terrorist, "Ammar," whose brutal interrogation scenes have generated most of the film's controversy. (He is subjected to waterboarding, forced to stand for hours on end, stripped of his pants in the presence of a woman, and shut in a wooden box.) I presume this character, who is accused in the movie of funneling money to the 9/11 hijackers, is Ammar al-Baluchi, who is publicly accused of doing just that and is currently on trial in a military commission with four other men, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, often called the "mastermind" of the 9/11 attacks. In December, the presiding judge ordered that evidence or discussion about any harsh interrogation techniques used on the defendants must be kept secret. This, according to the Los Angeles Times, "despite accusations by human rights groups that the government was trying to hide the fact that the men were tortured."

- 26 November 2015
MANILA, Nov. 26 -- Double-digit increases in the importation of raw materials and intermediate goods, capital, and consumer goods kept Philippine merchandise imports afloat in September 2015, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). The Philippine Statistics Authority reported yesterday that total payments for imports increased by 6.7 percent to USD 6.2 billion in September 2015 from USD 5.8 billion in the same month last year. This is the fourth consecutive month since June this year that imports have increased. "Upbeat sentiment from the business sector and an overall improvement in consumer expectations for the coming quarter will likely keep imports afloat, especially those in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Improved purchasing power due to low inflation will also keep consumer demand vibrant in the succeeding months, and will further be ramped-up by holiday spending," said Economic Planning Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan. "The growth registered in capital goods for September (40.7%), which is the highest for the year, is also an indication of robust economic activity moving forward," he added. Capital goods increased to US ...Read more

Depositors Hope Illinois Ruling Fits Republic Class Action Suit / Debt Instruments as Securities
Wolfe, Lou Anne, THE JOURNAL RECORD
A class action suit filed in Sept. 1984 charges that Republic Bancorporation, Republic Financial Corp., Republic Trust and Savings Co., all of Tulsa, and Western Trust and Savings Co. of Oklahoma City, were engaged in the offering and sale of securities to the public.
Defendants in the suit are Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Co., Sunbelt Bank and Trust Co. (formerly Republic Bank and Trust Co.), Republic Bancorporation and directors of the institutions in September1984. It alleges securities fraud, common law fraud, and aiding and abetting in the sale of unregistered securities.
The suit seeks actual damages of $72.2 million and exemplary damages of $722 million.
Counsel for the depositors are now working to prove that the notes of indebtedness sold by the Republic entities meet the criteria of securities laws, said Steven E. Smith of Smith, Hanson & Holmes, the firm which filed the suit.
The instruments in question are money market thrift certificates, negotiable rate term thrift certificates, savings trust certificates, savings plans, promissory notes and savings accounts.
In addition, Smith said, they must satisfy the court that the institutions had no regulatory protection besides securities laws, and were not insured.
The case of Banowitz vs. the State Exchange Bank of Culver, Ind., which was decided in Illinois on Jan. 18, is "closely analogous" to the Republic case, he noted.
In that case, the court held that instruments sold by a bank-related finance company were securities.
- Owners of the State Exchange Bank incorporated the State Exchange Finance Co., which made commercial loans to persons and corporations, according to the judge's opinion on the case. The shareholders of the bank were also shareholders of the finance company, and the two shared common officers and directors.
- Bank employees conducted all of the finance company's business, according to the opinion, and the finance company was located in the bank's main office building.
- The Republic class action suit charges that Republic Bancorporation owned Republic Financial, Republic Trust, and controlling interests in Republic Bank, later renamed Sunbelt Bank. Western Trust and Savings Co. of Oklahoma City was a branch of Republic Trust.
Furthermore, the class action cites "interlocking members of the board of directors," and notes that seven of the defendants served simultaneously on the boards of the holding company, the bank, Republic Financial and Republic Trust.
- State Exchange Finance Co. cited in the Banowitz case became insolvent and filed for Chapter 11 protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The court opinion cited insider transactions, transfer of faulty loans from the bank to the company and payment of cash by the company to the bank for certain real estate collateral. …

Anna Faris, star of the three Scary Movies, will not be returning for David Zucker's Scary Movie 4, which is shooting for a summer 2005 release. Inside you'll find the reasons behind Anna's departure- even though she still might make a cameo…
Moviehole writes:
"Scary Movie 4 was supposed to have been filmed back to back with the second sequel, but the studio changed their mind at the last minute, opting to see how it went down at the B.O. With it ultimately making registers ring louder than Roseanne Arnold's undertone at both the multiplex and now, Blockbuster, Dimension have officially agreed to continue the screwball antics, first initiated by the Wayans brothers, with the latest set to film over the Winter.
According to scooper Barnacle, it's going to be a much different sequel than even the previous film – notably because it'll likely be headlined by a new actress. "Anna Faris doesn't look like coming back. Blame it on scheduling, blame it on the fact that she wants to move on from the character-.Cindy's not pencilled in at the moment".
Apparently the best we can hope for is a cameo appearance from Faris somewhere in the film, probably in the film's first five minutes, says the scooper. "Faris will probably be filming her role in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain at the same time as Scary Movie is filming this Fall, so her cameo will depend a lot on whether or not she can break free for one or two days work."
The studio is reportedly hoping to release it next Summer.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Ahava Kids, Inc., Old Saybrook, CT, USA
Let me introduce myself, My name is Marie and I am a victim of human trafficking and slavery. I was put into the care of Ahava kids two years ago by the court. I know you have a a very strong opinion about this matter and I'm here to shed a little light on it. Because this is something too that is very near and dear to my heart. Ahava kids saved my life!! For four months they actively sought help for me in every aspect possible. not to mention the emotional support and lifelong friendship I gained through out my stay with them. When no one else was willing to help, they were!! They helped me out with court, kept me hidden while I was being hunted, found me counseling, fed me, clothed me. Most importantly taught me that what happened to me wasn't my fault. They put so much effort into taking care of me. No one else would have done that. Not even my own family. I was a full time job! Still to this day I work very closely with them. Believe me when I say that I have been through a lot and can spot someone who is a scam artist and insincere from a mile away. Ahava kids should never be put in that catagory. It is a shame that this has happened to them. The one thing you have to remember is that this is a very new concept and is still very unknown territory. They will be criticized and questioned all the time for what they are doing, but the fact of the matter is that they are doing something. They are trying and that is all you can ask for. That is all I can ask for! I would know better than anyone that what they are being accused of is false and uncalled for because that grant helped to put my life back together again. I know first hand. I hope that this matter does not keep them from helping others like me, because they are so very good at what they do! Cordially, Marie

Social Entrepreneur Development: An Integration of Critical Pedagogy, the Theory of Planned Behavior and the ACS Model
Prieto, Leon C., Phipps, Simone T. A., Friedrich, Tamara L., Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal
Universities and other institutions may want to train and develop tomorrow's agents of change in order to bring about positive social change in disadvantaged communities. Social entrepreneur development, which is the process of equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resources to enable them to positively impact society through social entrepreneurial ventures, may be the best way to bring about this social transformation. Social entrepreneurship is emerging as an inventive approach for dealing with complex social needs (Johnson, 2002). With its emphasis on problem-solving and social innovation, socially entrepreneurial activities blur the traditional boundaries between the public, private and non-profit sector, and emphasize hybrid models of for-profit and non-profit activities (Johnson, 2002). Thompson, Alvy, and Lees (2000) described social entrepreneurship as the process of applying entrepreneurial principles to creative vision, leadership, and the will to succeed in inducing social change. Social entrepreneurs are different from business entrepreneurs in many ways. The key difference is that social entrepreneurs set out with an explicit social mission in mind. Their main objective is to make the world a better place. The job of the social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is not working and to solve the problem by fixing the system, spreading solutions and persuading entire societies to take new leaps (Drayton, 2005).
Some minority college students have succeeded in making a difference in their communities, and their vision coupled with social entrepreneurial training could be instrumental in reducing many social ills, including poverty, crime, and discrimination. African American and Hispanic undergraduate students should be developed as social entrepreneurs so that they can be equipped to create ventures that bring about meaningful change in disadvantaged communities.
The role of college students as agents of change has been identified through various movements and occurrences of activism that involved student-initiated collective action against authoritative social and political structures (Mars, 2009). Lipset and Schaflander (1971) identified such movements and activism as far back as the student involvement in the nineteenth century revolutionary movements in France, Germany, and Italy. More recently, student activism has been widely recognized through the demonstrations of the civil rights movement, protests against America's involvement in the Vietnam conflict, and collective support for the divestment of South African Apartheid (Mars, 2009). Students have also been shown to engage in grassroots leadership that was intended on creating organizational change within colleges and universities (Mars, 2009). For example, over the past two decades a new form of student activism has emerged on campuses around the country (Rhoads, Buenavista, & Maldonado, 2004).
Campus organizations representing students of color have increasingly united for the purpose of enhancing academic support for students from underrepresented or marginalized ethnic or racial backgrounds (Rhoads, Buenavista, & Maldonado, 2004). Student organizations representing African American, Asian American, Latino, and Native American students have pooled their resources and political clout in order to enhance retention efforts (Rhoads, Buenavista, & Maldonado, 2004). The programs and activities developed by such efforts are largely student initiated. For example, at one campus, student organizations representing African American, Philipino, Chicano, Native American, and Vietnamese students have formed an umbrella organization that coordinates an extensive array of recruitment and retention activities (Rhoads, Buenavista, & Maldonado, 2004).
The study of social entrepreneurship has been mostly limited to the large scale efforts of elite and influential actors to create social transformation (O'Connor, 2006); there is definitely a need to examine marginalized groups' social entrepreneurial intentions. …

Updated 03/04/2015
There's a reason why locals flock to this hideaway for the best Thai cuisine in Hilo, and the name says it all. Fresh local ingredients highlight proprietor Sombat Saenguthai's menu (many of the herbs come from her own garden) to create authentic and tasty Thai treats like coconut curries, fresh basil rolls, eggplant stir-fry, and green papaya salad. Most dishes can be prepared with your choice of tofu, pork, beef, chicken, squid, or fish. The weekday lunch plate special is a steal ($7–$9). And if you can't leave the island without it, Sombat's famous pad thai sauce is available to take home in jars.

SLiMScape: a protein short linear motif analysis plugin for Cytoscape
1 UCD Conway, Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Sciences, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
2 UCD Complex and Adaptive Systems Laboratory, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
3 School of Medicine and Medical Science, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
BMC Bioinformatics 2013, 14:224 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-14-224Published: 15 July 2013
Computational protein short linear motif discovery can use protein interaction information to search for motifs among proteins which share a common interactor. Cytoscape provides a visual interface for protein networks but there is no streamlined way to rapidly visualize motifs in a network of proteins, or to integrate computational discovery with such visualizations.
We present SLiMScape, a Cytoscape plugin, which enables both de novo motif discovery and searches for instances of known motifs. Data is presented using Cytoscape's visualization features thus providing an intuitive interface for interpreting results. The distribution of discovered or user-defined motifs may be selectively displayed and the distribution of protein domains may be viewed simultaneously. To facilitate this SLiMScape automatically retrieves domains for each protein.
SLiMScape provides a platform for performing short linear motif analyses of protein interaction networks by integrating motif discovery and search tools in a network visualization environment. This significantly aids in the discovery of novel short linear motifs and in visualizing the distribution of known motifs.

We certainetly have been influenced by a lot of bands. Mostly the old guys. 30's and 50's blues artists and 60's and 70's rock bands, some of us also likes country, some like jazz and some like metal. But not one influence in general. It is a mix of a lot of influences.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
THIS is my type of song!
I think, while I was listening to it over and over for the past hour, that you grinned a bit while you were singing? Anyway... The guitar (Bass probably, I'm no expert at instruments) complement the drums, style-wise. As in melody. I love it and I hope to hear more from Cotton Overdrive. (Cool name, btw.)
Hehe.. Thanks :)
I might very well have done so. Im not sure. We will be recording (hopefully) some new song within a few weeks. Then there is a mix of mixing and so on so check back in a month, then there might be some new songs up :)
Glad you like the name..

Rob McGann | November 22, 2004 | Comments
A statistical look at the size, activity, and authorship of one of the Web's hottest phenomena.
The size of the blogosphere has doubled every five months over the last year and a half, according to blog analysis firm Technorati. Over that time, blogs have gone from being a word that sounded insulting to an online trend embraced even by a sexagenarian Massachusetts senator running for president. Given the frenetic pace of that growth, data charting the blog phenomenon have been vigorously consumed, and in some cases contradictory.
In charting the scope of this trend, ClickZ sought out the most helpful metrics for understanding the expansion of the blogosphere, a topic we'll return to periodically.
According to David Sifry, Technorati's chief executive, the current number of blogs is now over 8 times bigger than the 500,000 blogs it measured in June, 2003. The company tracked 3 million blogs as of the first week of July, and has added over 1 million blogs to its stable since then. Meanwhile, Pew Internet & American Life reports a new weblog is created every 5.8 seconds. That roughly translates into 15,000 new blogs every day.
click on the graph for a larger view
ClickZ interrupted Weblogs Inc. founder Jason McCabe Calacanis' trip to China for another perspective.
"There are millions of blogs, but I would say less than 1 million are updated regularly," Calacanis emailed. "So less than 1 percent of the country is blogging, but that figure is going to grow over the next five years to some percentage of the folks who email today."
While he was über-exuberant enough to predict that percentage will be 50 percent of the number of daily email users by 2009, the point about the number of regularly updated blogs is easier to substantiate.
Let's start with Calacanis' other calculation. According to the former editor-in-chief of the "Silicon Alley Reporter," there are only 200 blogs with monthly traffic of 1 million pageviews per month. Only 20 of those receive over 10 million pageviews per month.
In terms of viewership, the Pew Internet & American Life Project estimates about 11 percent (approximately 50 million) of Internet users are regular blog readers. Active bloggers, meanwhile, update their blogs regularly, to the tune of more than 275,000 posts daily, or about 11,000 updates an hour.
Blog traffic is known to spike sharply when certain Web-communicable events occur. Vast increases in Web traffic were measured during the Iowa Caucuses in January, when Howard Dean's infamous "scream" became a top download. Other top-blogged events include the beheading of American civilian Nicholas Berg in May; the Democratic and Republican political conventions in July and August, respectively; the Kryptonite lock controversy in September; and most recently, on Election Day, November 2, when political blogs averaged roughly a 130 to 200 percent increase in traffic, according to data supplied by comScore.
click on the graph for a larger view
Finally, the demographics of blog authorship are somewhat disputed, but the bulk of bloggers clearly are within the under-30 demographic. According to a Perseus study, over 90 percent of blogs are authored by people between the ages of 13 and 29, with 51.5 percent between the ages of 13 and 19.

A more dated survey, authored by Fernanda Viegas for the MIT Media Lab, estimated 46.3 percent of blogs are started by people between the ages of 21 and 30, with 28.2 percent authored by people in the 31- to 40-year-old demographic.

Down three games to one in the best-of-seven series, Joel Quenneville said heading into Game 5 that he felt the pressure wasn't on the Blackhawks to stave off elimination — it was on the Los Angeles Kings to get the job done against the defending champions.
Now here we are a few days later, the Blackhawks and Kings preparing for a Game 7 on Sunday night inside the United Center.
But even those few days ago, the Kings didn't feel the pressure was on them; they, too, have won a Stanley Cup recently and know what it takes to get the job done. Fast-forward to today, and despite dropping the last two games, they still feel the pressure isn't on one team more than the other.
"Well there really was a lot of talk about that," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said when asked if his team is facing more pressure going into Game 7. "To be quite honest, that was a bunch of BS."

The Kings don't look at themselves as the underdog in this series. They've faced all sorts of adversity this postseason alone, including a 3-0 series deficit against the San Jose Sharks before completing a "reverse sweep."
Dropping the last two games hasn't put them in an ideal situation, but they're still confident they can close out the series on Sunday.
"I think I'd rather be playing with the lead than chasing it," Anze Kopitar said. "You know, now it's Game 7. We're coming into a rink that is pretty loud. We really have nothing to lose. We're going to go out, we're going to play hard, throw everything out on the line."

The Kings did just that in their first two series, winning both in seven games. Now they hope to do it again, as it's win or go home for both the Blackhawks and Kings.
But as they arrived back in Chicago, both teams said they weren't nervous heading into Sunday's game; a game that will allow both squads to put it all out there for a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
"I think Game 7 is what hockey's all about," Willie Mitchell said. "As a hockey player, that's the game you want to play, is Game 7 with everything on the line. It's kind of the essence of the game.
"We've had some success in that and we look to continue that. We feel if we do the things we're capable of doing, the style of play we need against the Blackhawks, we're going to get the result we want."

I haven't been able to find it locally and I've searched some of the online stores, but still haven't found it. Has anyone stumbled across it while surfing for fabric? I would greatly appreciate it!

It's not the same fabric, but I think it might work! Thanks so much for finding those - I had done a search on ebay, but didn't see this listing.
