Joe Wright, 'Anna Karenina' Director, Sets Himself Up for the Limitations of His Vision
- By Jack Giroux

- November 16, 2012
Joe Wright set up a big challenge for himself with Anna Karenina. The material could easily lend itself to the stuffy brand of period piece, which is the type of film we see all too often during the awards season. Wright didn't want to make that film, though. With his theater concept,...

The birds of Rio and the sugar-infused children were too much for the family crowd headed to see Madea's latest outing this weekend. Madea's Big Happy Family had anything but the worst opening for a Tyler Perry film, but it is the lowest opening film of his since 2007. It's...

On the surface, Hanna is just the latest action flick centered on a petite, butt-kicking young woman and the sinister world she inhabits. Yet, were that all it was, the new film from director Joe Wright (Atonement, The Soloist) would be a tired, forced enterprise, arriving in theaters a mere...

Nice shorts. Nothing earth-shattering here in terms of style -just a basic short. The smart-phone pocket is a nice idea, though when I sit, it is not all that comfortable. Not sure I would risk my iPhone in there in pick-pocket areas that I find myself in sometimes while traveling abroad. I have to say I also prefer the 9 inch short to the 10 that these are, though no-one seems to make them anymore so, not really a detractor. I wasn't sure how I would like the yellow. I'm pretty traditional with this kind of thing, but the actual color is not as yellow as the photo. They are more of a medium gold-tan, which I like. Will be keeping these. I also have the 'porcelain-khaki" color.

NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Leading Chinese bad-debt investor China Huarong Asset Management Co. announced Thursday that it will sell stakes in itself to eight foreign and domestic investors, ahead of a projected initial public offering in Hong Kong.
The move comes as opportunities for bad-debt acquisitions are seen to be opening up, as Chinese banks' non-performing loan portfolios burgeon and the economy struggles with the consequences of years of massive lending by both official lenders and the shadow banking system.
The eight, including New York private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as well as Malaysian sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd., will invest a total of 14.54 billion renminbi ($2.36 billion) for a 20.98% stake in Huarong. The share each company will take has yet to be released.
The domestic buyers, China International Capital Corp., China Life Insurance Group Co., CITIC Securities International, Cofco Corp. and Fosun International Ltd. include both state and private sector investors. The deal has been approved by the State Council and other supervision authorities, according to the Huarong statement, which was reported by the official Chinese media. Huarong is currently a state-owned enterprise, 98.06% owned by the Ministry of Finance.
Earlier this year, Reuters reported that about 20 investors, including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP and Blackstone Group LP, were expected to submit first round offers for the pre-IPO investment.
Chinese banks' nonperforming loans have climbed for almost three years, the longest run since 2004, according to Bloomberg, which said Huarong reported a profit of Rmb11.8 billion for the first half of this year before provisions.
Huarong Chairman Lai Xiaomin told a Beijing press briefing on Thursday that the IPO is expected before the end of 2015.
Yet even as Huarong prepared to go public, its listed peer China Cinda Asset Management Co. suffered a share selloff in Hong Kong, after reporting disappointing first-half profit. The shares fell 7.1% to HK$3.92, as Beijing-based Cinda reported net profit of Rmb5.3 billion, below analysts' expectations. Cinda priced its IPO in December last year at HK$3.58, and has traded well above that level for most of this year - despite coming within a single cent of the IPO price at its low point in May.
Cinda and Huarong were among four bad loan companies set up by the government in 1999 to soak up problem debt on the books of China's financial institutions. They have reportedly bought and sold about Rmb3 trillion in the years since then.

J.C. Cox has come to terms with his son Jonathan's suicide.
They are not terms anyone would choose. They are almost more than he can stand.
The first thing he had to accept was this:
"There's nothing I can do for him anymore," Cox says. "You always hear that it helps to help someone else. Well, it does."
Four suicides in less than two years by students at Green Mountain High School, including Jonathan Cox's in 2002, was a shocking number - even in Colorado, which has the seventh-highest suicide rate in the country.
The Lakewood school's losses galvanized a community and led to the creation of the Second Wind Fund.
The fund pays for troubled teenagers to see mental-health professionals.
J.C. Cox became a volunteer and then a board member with the fund, which in the past five years has worked with 750 teens from 200 Denver-area schools. All are still alive.
"They are a pretty remarkable agency," said Carol Breslau, a vice president at the Colorado Trust, which promotes health care in the state and has a $5 million suicide-prevention program. "What they do is essential."
A lifeline of support
In 2005, Colorado's overall suicide rate was 16.8 deaths per 100,000, state Department of Public Health and Environment statistics show.
The 2004 teen suicide rate was 4.7 per 100,000 nationally and 8.7 in Colorado, according to state figures.
For Coloradans ages 10 to 34, suicide is the second-leading cause of death, behind traffic accidents.
As soon as the Jefferson County coroner ruled that 17-year-old Jonathan had taken his own life, the world became a different place for his father.
"I thought about going after him," Cox said of his son. "I wanted to go get him. Irrational."
Cox instead clutched at a lifeline - a call from Jeff Lamontagne asking him to volunteer with Second Wind.
"At the time Second Wind was just something else I could grab at," says Cox. "We couldn't see what it would turn into."
For Lamontagne, an environmental lawyer who attended Green Mountain Presbyterian Church, news of the suicides at the high school next door was jolting.
"I didn't know any of the kids. I just thought this church should be doing something," Lamontagne said.
He asked high school counselors what would make a real difference.
They told him that half their students had poor or no insurance coverage for mental-health care.
Jarrod Hindman, manager of the state health department's Office of Suicide Prevention, said that 90 percent of those who die by suicide have a diagnosable mental illness, such as depression.
The going rate for a private therapist is $80 to $125 an hour, Lamontagne said. Some insurers cover almost nothing.
"Sometimes a suicidal kid has to wait a month to see someone," said Lamontagne, now Second Wind's executive director. "They wait a month between sessions. They often are limited to three sessions."
Second Wind works quickly.
"A school counselor calls me. It's a five- minute conversation. The paperwork is streamlined," Lamontagne said.
A teenager sees someone right away, sometimes the same day, Lamontagne said.
The teens can see someone twice a week. They attend an average of eight sessions, although they have the option of as many as 20.
"We foot the bill," Lamontagne says. "No one else in the country is doing this."
The volunteer core of Second Wind comes from churches. It has 25 faith partners, but it also has local business support, including Green Mountain Dental Group and Jamba Juice.
Second Wind, which has an annual budget of $340,000, has negotiated a reduced therapy rate of $60 an hour. All counselors are licensed.
Coping with pain
Cox has no idea why his son - who wasn't bullied and who had lots of friends and a nice girlfriend - killed himself, and he must live with the mystery.
"There was never any explanation. There never will be an explanation," Cox says. "I will ask the question 'why?' for the rest of my life."
He had noticed his son had grown a little distant. "I thought it was his age," he says.
Cox says his son must have been in great pain.
"I have to tell myself it was an illness," he said. "If you broke your arm, you'd ask for help. But when there's a mental problem, people won't ask for help."
Second Wind's message to kids - a message it has recruited young "ambassadors" to spread at their own schools - is: "It's quite normal to think about suicide. It's healthy and necessary to get help."
For one Lakewood 18-year-old, now a freshman in English at Colorado State University, Second Wind made all the difference.
The woman, who asked not to be named, said her junior year of high school threw her for a loop.
"I had an identity, a preconceived idea of who I was, and then it didn't fit anymore," she said. " I knew I was struggling, but I wasn't willing to admit it to anyone."
Her dad, however, had been a Second Wind volunteer.
"My dad planted the seed that I could get help," she said. "Part of me always knew that suicide was a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
Lamontagne said most teens don't have the life experience to know they won't always feel bad.
Cox has the life experience to know he always will ache for his son.
"It still never leaves my thoughts," he said. "The panic attacks have subsided. The agony is not quite as intense, at least not all the time. But if you lose a kid, the pain never goes away.
"You start to feel a little better," he said. "Then you feel guilty about feeling better."
"Second Wind has become so much more than a referral service," Cox added. "It's a support group for survivors. It's brought the entire community together."

From trash to treasure
By: Lauren Weber The Press-Tribune
Kid's get hands-on lesson in recycling through reCREATE's effort to reuse unwanted materials
Egg crates, telephone wire, fabric samples and shoe inserts are all items some might think belong in the garbage, but Donna Sangwin of Roseville has a better idea. Her nonprofit company, reCREATE, is devoted to collecting trash and turning it into art supplies. She currently has about 20 local businesses that donate art-worthy material to her company. Williams + Paddon supplies design samples, SureWest Communications provides telephone wire, FedEx Kinko's gives pieces of unusable banner, Palmer Signs donates mistake signs and Sangwin said she's always scouting out other businesses. "You name it, I'm getting it," she said. "It's not what you'd find at Michael's though." Sangwin has learned the art of seeing trash in another light and using it for kids' craft projects. It's all in line with being more environmentally conscious and friendly, something that Sangwin learned at a young age from her parents and hopes to instill in kids today. Sangwin has big plans for her Roseville company. She's searching for a 3,000-square-foot storefront location in Downtown Roseville that will give her a place to store the materials, hold workshops, schedule studio time and sell green products such as plates and gift bags. She also envisions reCREATE hosting birthday parties with green goodie bags and art projects using reusable materials. During the summer, Sangwin connected with the Roseville Utility Exploration Center for their weeklong recycled art camps and taught kids the art of reuse. "It's a great partnership," said Bob Garrison, director of the Utility Exploration Center. "We both support each others missions." Sangwin's business, reCREATE, will continue to team up with the UEC in the upcoming seasons for a sustainable jewelry making class, garden treasures workshop teaching students how to make a birdhouse from reused material and drop-in workshops for kids to make holiday gifts with reusable items. As for the upcoming school year, Sangwin said she's working on collaborating with local school classes to show the importance of helping the environment using an old car. Once she picks out a vehicle, she plans to fill it with sorted and organized materials, drive to the schools and let kids grab a bag full of supplies. Her stop will connect with the schools' environment lesson plans and allow kids to create sculptures, animals and abstract designs from so-called junk. Sangwin said she lets the kids design whatever they want, asking them, "What can you make out of this?" Sangwin not only wants to encourage the green movement in the classroom, she utilizes it all in her daily life. She made the switch to energy efficient light bulbs, is part of Roseville Electric's Green Roseville, her own kids are constantly crafting things from her collected materials and she's combined forces with friends to reuse kids' clothing. "We're just trying to think of the little things. If everybody makes little changes, I think it's going to be great," she said. "Being a mom, it's kind of my responsibility to do what I can for them." She even keeps a blog (http://a-bit-greener.blogspot.-com) that she updates with ideas and ways people can reduce their use on un-recyclable and un-reusable items. "One mom's journey to live a little bit greener. For myself, my kids and this place we call home," she titles her blog. In her blog, she answers why she started reCREATE: "I want my kids to live in a world that isn't choking on its actions ... and I believe there has to be a way that a typical mom like me can make a difference – I have to – for my kids." For more information, go to www.recreate.org.

AFTER HITLER'S DEATH, AN UNLIKELY ALLIANCE, Germans and US Soldiers team up against the SS to protect French VIPs!
utsandiego.com reports:
'The Last Battle' tells fascinating story of U.S. and German soldiers teaming up to protect French VIPs from SS attack.
At the heart of "The Last Battle" is a largely unknown story that (a) seems implausible, (b) would make a great movie, and (c) reminds us that almost 70 years after the end of World War II there are countless tales still to be told.
Author Stephen Harding's new book examines a strange alliance of American and German troops in the final days of the war in early May of 1945 — between the suicide of Adolf Hitler and the Reich's surrender — to fight off elements of Germany's Waffen-SS.

Block an unsightly view
The edges of a neighboring yard often become a storage area for the unused items people just can't part with. This unsightly stuff may be invisible from your neighbor's point of view, but right up against what you want to use for outdoor living space. Because the neighbor is not likely to move his storage area, you'll have to make the adjustment by building screening.
This deck not only includes an attached privacy fence, its orientation and seating direct the views and traffic flow away from the lot next door.

Deer Creek Middle School math teacher David Benke tackled the shooter but couldn't stop one more shot from being fired, according to his wife, Sandra Benke.
David Benke, who has taught at the school for a decade, called his wife to tell her there had been a shooting just after school and that he had tackled the gunman "but the shooter got a shot off and it hit one of his students," she said.
Several witnesses described seeing an adult racing at the gunman after the first shot was fired, and a parent confirmed it was Benke. Authorities have yet to confirm those reports.
Benke, who has a doctorate and was a finalist for Colorado Teacher of the Year in 1996, told his wife that he was OK.
"He wasn't injured, David is 6-foot-5, thank goodness that he was the guy there," Sandra said. "He was all calm. Then his voice broke. I was the one who was freaking out. I was just in shock. I'm so relieved that he is OK. I am worried about the student and the students who saw this."

TVC NEWS, NAIROBI - Two witnesses in the International Criminal Court (ICC) case against Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto, have withdrawn from the trial.

They are both accused of orchestrating the widespread violence that followed a disputed vote in 2007.
The two witnesses' withdrawal comes just a week before Ruto's trial begins.
The duo, through sworn affidavits written by lawyer Christopher Mitei, recanted their testimonies and written statements informing the ICC prosecutor that they will not participate in the hearing.
"Enclosed here with please find self-explanatory letters and affidavits of our clients herein confirming their withdrawal from the ICC process," Mitei wrote.
Both Kenyatta and Ruto have denied the charges instituted against and have pledged to work with the ICC.

Indian agencies do more project work
9 January 2014
MUMBAI: Leading Indian agencies are having to take on more short-term project work to make ends meet and in doing so are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain long-term relationships with clients according to leading industry figures.
The agency role as brand custodian is consequently under threat, as they are reduced to simply providing TV campaigns. Anil Nair, managing partner at the Law & Kenneth agency,
told the Economic Times
: "You have perfectly normal national marketers, among the Top 100 Most Trusted Brands according to Brand Equity, trying to pit agencies against each other for a TV bid."
But that approach by marketers is missing the point according to Arvind Sharma, the outgoing chairman and CEO of Leo Burnett. "Brands are built over time with consistency of purpose, language and medium which is impossible to achieve on a project basis," he argued.
It was a view echoed by Shubhranshu Singh, marketing head at Star Sports and whose previous experience has included stints with Visa and Hindustan Unilever. "I can't think of a situation where project-based tooling up will give the same sense of perspective and depth as I get from a 365 day 24/7 relationship," he said.
The eventual outcome, on this argument, is likely to be what the Economic Times described as "a radically impoverished ad business".
But others were less pessimistic. "Very few clients engage with all verticals of an agency," said Sagar Mahabaleshwarkar, national creative director at Bates141, adding that most did not have time for a ten-year strategy. "Whether you like it or not you will stand out for and be approached for something specific," he added.
And Dhunji Wadia, president at Everest, pointed out that when talking to a youth market "what you did five years or six months back could be irrelevant". What was critical he said was to "anticipate what's expected going forward".
One major brand that seems to be successfully straddling both approaches is PepsiCo which works with two agencies of record (AORs), in JWT and BBDO, to develop planning and a communication strategy that is consistent across three years,as well as working with Taproot.
"We have an understanding with our AORs that we'll leverage Taproot's cultural insight to refresh our creative every once in a while," explained Deepika Warrier, vice president - beverage marketing.

The biotech lobby makes swaggering claims, presenting genetic modification (GM) as a magic bullet that will feed the world, without any downside whatsoever. It assures us that GM is entirely safe, for both humans and animals. It promises that it will increase crop yields and reduce pesticide use. What's not to like?
Fairy stories can be entrancing, but never confuse them with the truth. It has long been clear that GM is substantively and radically different from traditional methods of improving plants and breeds. GM is a relatively crude technique- think of cut and paste- that moves genetic material across species barriers. As such, it is unprecedented, capable of triggering unpredictable, and irreversible, changes in the DNA, proteins and biochemical composition of food. And the case against GM has only become more persuasive and authoritative since the 1990s when informed consumers first fought to keep food with GM ingredients off shelves in Europe. Mounting evidence shows that GM has not delivered on its bragging promises.
I remain implacably opposed to the genetic modification of our food, and here, in the simplest, briefest terms, is why.

medical tests for her yearly health checkup. The singer posted a number of
photos of her during the medical exams and posted them on her official page on
the internet social network Twitter.

According to the internet website MBC.net, on the same day,
Mariam had also posted two photos of her sister, whom she wished a happy

Mariam's fans immediately began commenting on the photos

Stocks Gain as Traders Shrug at Possible Fed Pullback
TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets jumped Tuesday as hedge fund manager David Tepper's bullish comments about stocks offset worries about the Federal Reserve's scaling back on monetary stimulus. The S&P 500 was up 1% to 1,650.34.Tepper, the head of Appaloosa Management, praised the U.S. bank sector and sent Bank of America (BAC ) up 2.8% to $13.34 while Citigroup (C ) gained 2.4% to $50.09. "They call it the Tepper-effect ... endorsing this market move higher, but also you had the National Federation of Independent Business survey come out and ... it was the highest level in six months,"said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. "The Fed obviously has to think about an exit strategy ... but fears have been assuaged regarding the Fed's motives." The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8% to 15,215.25 while the Nasdaq was up 0.7% to 3,462.61. The NFIB reported Tuesday that its small business confidence index in April jumped to 92.1 from the prior week's 89.5, which proved to be another positive economic indicator from last month. Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, speaking at the Center for Business and Policy Studies in Stockholm, said that the U.S. central bank should scale back its bond-buying. "I believe that labor market conditions warrant scaling back the pace of purchases as soon as our next meeting," said Plosser in prepared remarks. "Moreover, unless we see a significant reversal in current trends that jeopardizes my forecast of near 7% unemployment rate by the end of this year, then I anticipate that we could end the program before year-end." Tepper took a different view of Fed bond-buying, saying that concerns the bank will wind-down its bond-buying were overstated. "If the Fed doesn't taper back, we're going to get into this hyper-drive market," Tepper said. "It's a backwards argument. To keep the markets going up at a steady pace the Fed has to taper back." "I'm definitely bullish," he added. "I'm still a bull in this country ... guys that are short, they better have a shovel to get themselves out of the grave."NEW YORK (

"Top-line growth in our oil and gas market continues to be strong as sales increased 10% in the first quarter of 2013 compared with last year's first quarter. This strong performance was driven primarily by higher natural gas filtration product sales in the Middle East, the U.S. and Southeast Asia partially offset by lower sales in Canada and of our off-shore oil drilling filtration products. A significant portion of this oil and gas filtration growth was driven by higher natural gas vessel sales, which increased 30% from last year's first quarter. We anticipate that these natural gas vessel sales will translate into a stream of higher margin aftermarket element sales going forward. Strategically, it has been our long-term goal to fundamentally shift our natural gas product mix to a greater proportion of higher margin aftermarket elements versus first-fit vessels. To support this initiative in the long-run, we sometimes accept a larger proportion of vessel sales in the short-run—the case in our first quarter. Regardless of product mix, as we have noted in the past, we believe the natural gas filtration market has as much long-term potential as any other filtration market. Global energy needs should continue to significantly expand going forward, and we believe natural gas—an abundant, clean-burning fossil fuel—will play a prominent role in satisfying these expanding needs."Our execution remained strong in the first quarter as our 13.2% operating margin was slightly lower than our first quarter 2012 operating margin of 13.3%, which was our highest first quarter operating margin in almost twenty years. Financial performance at our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment was solid as operating margin increased 0.5 percentage points from the first quarter of 2012 to 19.9%, our highest first quarter operating margin in this reporting segment since 2008. Operating margin at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment was negatively influenced by a higher mix of natural gas vessel sales versus higher margin natural gas aftermarket element sales. As a result, our first quarter operating margin in this reporting segment declined 0.9 percentage points from last year's first quarter. However, continued operational improvements in our commercial and industrial HVAC filtration and Total Filtration Services (TFS) distribution markets within our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment resulted in improved operating margins in each of these markets compared with the first quarter of 2012. With continued improved financial performance in these environmental air markets coupled with continued growth at our higher margin process liquid markets, we believe we are on track to meet our 15% operating margin goal in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment in the next several years.

Teacher evaluations and pupil achievement: Evidence from classroom observations
This paper investigates the relationship between teacher evaluations, conducted by trained evaluators, and pupil performance in primary education in a large city in the Netherlands. Teacher evaluations are based on a detailed rubric containing 75 classroom practices considered to be crucial for effective teaching. We obtain a set of estimates that suggests that the score on this rubric significantly predicts pupil performance gains. Estimated test score gains are in the order of 0.4 standard deviations in math and grammar if a pupil is assigned to a teacher from the top quartile instead of the bottom quartile of the distribution of the evaluation rubric. These are relatively large differences in pupil outcomes, suggesting that evaluations based on the rubric measure teacher practices that matter for pupil performance. This suggests that the rubric seems to have potential for teacher evaluations and teacher effort.

So i had the cervadil for 12 hrs then the pitocin and was in labor for 30+ hrs! Was stuck @ 9cm for 4 hrs and the doc was sooo patient I pushed for atleast 45 mins to get the head over that stingy 1cm of cervix but with my luck NOTHING! SO I had to get a section and she came out with these little baby wails healthy as canbe but jaundiced! Breastfeeding like a pro she latched on the first day and i was even able to pump a 3oz bottle on day 2! I cant wait for you all to have your LO's!!

Right there with ya! AF should have shown up 11/2 but never did, now i'm 9 days late! I've taken a ton of HPT and all negative. I go in on Wednesday at 11 days late for blood work. My cycles are also really regular.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
Welcome to the BC SPCA Alberni-Clayoquot Branch. Each year our branch helps hundreds of animals find new homes. We appreciate all of your support, and for making the BC SPCA your first adoption option!

Some things can bring out the worst in people, like traffic gridlock, while others can bring out the best, like animals. No one does that better than our pets.

The BC SPCA supports a Canadian MP's move to strengthen animal cruelty laws – and you can help, too, by contacting your MP to express support.
Do animals enrich your life? Join us in thanking them! This May, in honour of Be Kind to Animals Month, we are encouraging people to "dare to care."
Making muzzles OK, rather than a scary symbol that means an animal is dangerous, is a message that BC SPCA manager of animal welfare Kim Monteith would like to help spread.

The North Peace SPCA is extending its thanks to the volunteers who came and helped out during the past week, when the shelter was over-capacity due to wildfires in the region.

125: Schrotter signing puts Interwetten in every class
4 March 2010
Interwetten Honda will join Aspar in entering all three grand prix classes this season after signing young German Marcel Schrotter for the 125cc World Championship.
The 17-year-old made three wild-cards appearances - at Sachsenring, Brno and Valencia - last season, finishing twelfth, 13th and fifth respectively.
"To ride in the world championship was a great dream of mine and this came true. My goal for this season is to be in the top ten constantly and at least to always be in the points," he said.
Schrotter will share a pit garage with Interwetten's Moto2 rider Thomas Luthi, while Hiroshi Aoyama will give the team its debut in the MotoGP class.
"To have Marcel in our team structure rounds off our appearance in the world championship, because now we have one rider in each of the grand prix classes," said Daniel Epp, owner of Paddock Grand Prix Team Management and team manager of the Interwetten Honda MotoGP Team.
"Marcel already showed his potential last year with some wild-card performances and we count on what he showed then. I am very pleased that we can make this project happen with the help of Interwetten and Honda and their support in all three classes and I am very excited to see the new team structure work."
