An advertising gofer-turned-writer and director, Alan Parker began his film career through his association with producer David Puttnam, another ad man with cinematic aspirations, who hired Parker to write the screenplay for the preteen romance Melody (1971). After a stint directing television commercials and short films for the BBC, Parker made his first movie, Bugsy Malone, in 1976. He joined the front ranks of young filmmakers two years later with the fact-based thriller Midnight Express, a brilliant and brutal retelling of the experiences of a young American who escaped from a Turkish prison where he had been incarcerated for drug possession. Both an exposé of government corruption and an indictment of American pomposity, it earned lavish acclaim and a number of honors, including a Best Director Oscar nomination for Parker.
The director followed this success with the megahit Fame in 1980. A box-office smash, it spawned a long-running TV series and became a fixture in the American pop-culture lexicon. Parker's next movie, Shoot the Moon (1982), was a relative failure despite several superb performances, owing in part to its unpleasant subject matter, the agonizing breakup of a marriage. Later that same year, Parker rebounded with a spectacular achievement in a more difficult category of film with Pink Floyd: The Wall, an adaptation of a Pink Floyd concept album that received critical approval and attracted a substantial audience. Parker's next film, Birdy (1984), was similarly acclaimed. The tale of a Vietnam veteran who experiences flight fantasies, it won the Jury's Grand Prize award at the Cannes Film Festival. The director had his next major success with Mississippi Burning (1988). A recreation of the investigation of the murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in the mid-'60s, it struck a responsive chord with the public and critics alike. Parker's 1991 movie, The Commitments, a blissful, beautifully structured adaptation of Roddy Doyle's novel of the same name, proved to be a genuine sleeper hit and earned a number of honors, including a Best Director BAFTA award for Parker.
After the disappointment of his next film, The Road to Wellville (1994), Parker was back two years later with Evita, a high-profile version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical. Starring Madonna in the title role of the beloved, controversial Argentinean first lady Eva Peron, the film received mixed critical notices, although it did prove popular with many audience members. Parker returned to Irish soil in 1999 to direct Angela's Ashes, an adaptation of Frank McCourt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle, it was one of the year's more highly anticipated films.
Four years passed before Parker returned with a new directorial effort, the longest gap of his career. The Life of David Gale was due to be released in time for Oscar consideration in 2002, but was bumped to early 2003 after the studio realized the inane death penalty thriller would surly disappear from theaters in the face of such stiff year-end box office competition. It opened to almost unanimously negative criticism.

|Expectations are high in New York with Amare Stoudemire on board. Can he deliver? Survey says ...
Stoudemire: While we've been somewhat optimistic about Amare's arrival in New York here and here, 20 percent of our voters think the Knicks' new $100 million man will prove to be a costly mistake. Questions abound about his long-term health (particularly given his multiple knee and eye surgeries), his ability to play without Steve Nash, and whether he can handle the pressure of playing in New York and being the leader of a team. And did we mention his health?

MMM what a wonderful cake. The cake and icing complimented each other perfectly. I followed the recipe as is and the cake came out moist and chocolaty while the icing was surprisingly not as sweet as it looks, with a peanut butter taste which reminds me of the middle of a Reese's cup somewhat. Yummy! I did opt to leave out the finely chopped nuts as garnish cause I knew I wouldn't enjoy it like that. I also made this into a three layer cake, dividing batter evenly among my pans. I found that I did not need to add any milk to get a spreadable consistency on my frosting as well. Thanks for the recipe, it was delightful.
Pretty Darn good! Next time I think instead of adding the 1 cup water to the cake batter, I will use 1 cup cold coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor. Other than that it was great. I chopped up peanuts AND chocolate chips to press into the side to make it prettier. I like that it wasn't as heavy or dense as I thought it would be - the filling is really fluffy!
This review is based solely on the Peanut Butter Icing. I used this on the Dark and Decadent Chocolate cake. This icing is yummy! Not an overwhelming peanut butter flavour, which is nice. However, I think that I would cut back on the butter next time, it was a bit much. I also only used 3 cups of icing sugar, because I sifted it to prevent lumps. Thanks again for a great recipe!

Eugene Michael, who has strong links to Te Tai Tokerau, is one of two exceptional Maori scholars to receive a prestigious scholarship out of 623 applicants nationally.
Every year, a select group of applicants to the Ministry of Health's Hauora Maori scholarship programme are awarded a John McLeod Scholarship or Te Apa Mareikura Award.
This year two scholars from The University of Auckland Eugene Michael - Ngati Kahu, Ngati Tuwharetoa - and Reuben Kirk - Ngai Tuhoe - were each awarded a John McLeod scholarship, worth $10,000.
These scholarships are named for Dr John McLeod, nationally and internationally renown for his work in public and Maori health, and presented to high academic achievers who also show selfless commitment to their colleagues and communities.
Eugene Michael has completed his sixth year of study for a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery and started work at Auckland District Health Board.
Already a qualified pharmacist, having completed a Bachelor of Pharmacy at Otago University in 2003, Eugene's work in South Auckland communities inspired him to rethink his career choice and study medicine.
In 2009 he won the Senior Prize in Medicine and Surgery and in 2011 he won the Calvin Ring Prize in Ophthalmology, both at The University of Auckland while maintaining an A/A- average throughout.
Between 2005 and 2007 Eugene worked in a pharmacy in South Auckland, implementing initiatives to improve health outcomes for local Maori and Pacific Island patients and mentoring fellow staff on cultural competency.
As a pharmacist manager Eugene added business management, accounting and staff management to his skills.
Eugene intends to work in a community setting and he frequently looks to the Far North where there is a high demand for general practitioners and where many of his whanau reside.
His hope is that wherever he is he will ultimately be able to implement health initiatives that benefit Maori.
He says it is important to demonstrate leadership skills as a health professional, in order to build rapport and trust in those who seek advice.
He regards academic achievement, empathy and communication skills as fundamental to building the foundation for leadership in Maori health.

One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

A faulty wood stove flue is to blame for a fire that destroyed a home Sunday afternoon, that's according to the Onslow County Sheriff's Office.
Onslow County deputies say the fire on Ramsey Road happened around 3:45 p.m. Six fire departments battle the blaze.
An investigator says the fire was caused by hot ashes getting into the attic due to a bad connection with the flue into the home's chimney.

Boston Children's Hospital is monitoring the developing situation with lead contamination in some Boston Public Schools. Please contact your primary care physician if you have any concerns about your child.

The Oculoplastic Service at Boston Children's Hospital offers comprehensive evaluation and correction of the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal system in babies, children and adults of all ages. Oculoplastics, or oculoplastic surgery, is literally plastic surgery of the eyelids.
The two most common conditions we treat are congenital ptosis (drooping eyelids) and congenital tear duct obstruction. Congenital ptosis is not usually a cosmetic problem in children, but it can actually cause vision loss if the eye is completely blocked by a drooping eyelid. Tear duct obstruction is even more common. About 5 percent of all infants have an immature tear drainage apparatus and have tearing soon after birth.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

A Puzzle in Washington, DC: The National Building Museum's Big Maze
Plato writes: "It is a confusing path, hard to follow without a thread, but, provided [you are] not devoured at the midpoint, it leads surely, despite twists and turns, back to the beginning." Mazes and labyrinths can be found on artifacts from the ancient world; from the Bronze Age in Spain, to Ireland and India; from North Africa to the American Southwest. In these cultures — and many others — the labyrinth conveyed ideas about a meandering, perhaps obstacle-filled, journey toward enlightenment. more »
War, 'Mutiny' and Civil Rights: Remembering Port Chicago
Just after 10:18 p.m. on July 17, 1944, UC Berkeley seismographs measured what looked like a 3.4-magnitude earthquake. Far from a routine temblor, though, this was a seismic event of a different kind: a ferocious explosion at the Port Chicago naval base, the worst stateside disaster of World War II. The explosion led to the six-week trial — and dismayingly swift conviction — of 50 black sailors, whose refusal to return to loading ammunition was judged by the Navy to be mutiny. more »

Until a few weeks ago, I'd never made more than a weekend trip away from my children. In my mind I added up the times my husband had been away for meetings, conferences, and teaching field trips. Some day, I thought, I'll cash in the time owed me and take my dream vacation -- bird-watching in Arizona. Then early this year I got an interesting email.

We're coming up on performance review time for the administrative and staff ranks. That means I have to have my annual internal debate about performance reviews. (Apparently, it's "ambivalence week" here at Dean Dad HQ.) As many folks have pointed out, performance reviews are deeply flawed in the best of times, and often just destructive. There's no end of reasons for that.-- They only occur once per year. That leads to predictable temporal distortions -- the most recent stuff outweighs the older stuff -- and some unavoidable discontinuity.

I don't make a habit of doing reruns, but this story in IHE generated a flurry of requests to comment on illegal immigration and public higher ed. I did a piece on that back in 2005, and it still pretty much reflects my thinking on the issue. I've made a couple of technical corrections, but the core of the piece still stands as it did five years ago. Would that we had made more progress since then...

Several years before I came to work at Greenback, I had a job interview with the Marine Spill Response Corporation. The position in question had considerable authority; the salary would have represented quite a bump to my income. Still, as the interviews progressed I reached the conclusion that I didn't want the job. Whether my reticence came through or whether they felt me unqualified, I'll never know. What I do know is that they didn't make an offer, and I was relieved that they didn't.

When I first wrote about teaching and tae kwon do, over two years ago, I was just about to head back to the classroom after a sabbatical, and open to rethinking my teaching in a number of ways. So when I distilled five teaching principles out of my tae kwon do classes, I focused especially on my role as teacher, as someone — like my tae kwon do instructor — who was up front in the classroom, leading the way.

Fair salary as long as the bonus guarantees the stockholders make a profit first!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
AGreed. The salary is fair. Now let's get the stock price moving up already. We cleared the accounting issues, fired the CEO, hired a new CEO, sold the division that was making us lose money....Now we should start to head up!!!!!
