Looming in the world's sewer system are contaminants of emerging concern. They're not the endocrine disruptors, antibiotics or painkillers we've been reading about for the past several years (though those are indeed a challenge). These contaminants are bigger, and like the legendary alligators rumored to lurk in the New York City sewer system when I was a kid, they are growing steadily, day by day, to pose a catastrophic threat.
In a dramatic example of the problem, a 15-metric-ton "fatberg" was found in London, England last summer, choking the 70-by-40-centimeter (27.5-by-15.7-inch) sewer line down to just five percent of its capacity. The mass damaged 20 meters of sewer pipe. That means it was roughly the length and weight of a city bus.
At the heart of the problem were wipes — nonwoven fabric impregnated with cleansers. Many of those wipes were likely to have been classed as "flushable" by manufacturers; many more may have been described in eco-friendly ways that consumers could have inferred meant that they could be disposed in the toilet.
Millions of Dollars
Whatever the package said, nonwovens are emerging as a major threat to sewers and wastewater treatment facilities. And the problem is only getting worse.
According to Freedonia Group data cited in a Nonwovens Industry magazine article in January 2013, 552 million pounds of raw materials were used in the manufacture of wipes in the U.S. in 2011. Even just a fraction of that mass flushed down the nation's toilets has huge costs. According to an Associated Press (AP) article last September, 971 "de-ragging" operations cost Orange County, Calif., $320,000 in a single year. The story notes that the city of Vancouver, Wash., racked up more than $1 million in costs replacing 11 sewer pumps that were routinely clogging, and city engineers said wipes were a significant part of the problem.
AP also noted that the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, a Maryland sewer utility, spent more than $1 million over a five-year span installing heavy-duty grinders, in large part to deal with nonwovens.
In an effort to stem the flow of nonwovens into the wastewater stream, the Orange County Sanitation District has created an informative, entertaining and very focused website called www.what2flush.com. Still, for every wastewater utility, nonwovens are going to be an ongoing issue.
Downstream Nightmares
In fact, like alligators emerging in childhood dreams, nonwovens are turning into sewer nightmares. Grinding may be of limited use—research such as a 2009 study by Australian engineers Mark Wilson and Michael Thomas indicate that waterborne solids such as hair and fine fibers can re-agglomerate downstream in wastewater treatment plants, forming new masses that could bedevil pumps and filtration equipment.
A more productive approach to dealing with nonwovens is to remove them from the wastewater stream at the headworks of the treatment plant rather than reducing particle size and passing the problem downstream. Appropriately engineered inlet screens can effectively entrain and rake or auger out solids right from the start, without interfering with flow through the system.
Removing nonwovens and other large solids from the intake of this Italian wastewater treatment plant eases disposal and protects valves and filtration equipment downstream.
The Wilson/Thomas study found that in-process screens placed deeper within the wastewater treatment system captured an additional 33 to 100 percent of the volume caught by the intake screens. Clearly, first-rate intake screens are vital to prevent pass-through problems like that; further in-process screening could provide vital backup.
Clearly, not all inlet screens are created equal. Wilson and Thomas point out that the volume, velocity and fluctuation in flow through the inlet screen all impact the performance of the screen. At Bilfinger, we have perfected computer models to gauge those parameters and aid in sizing and specifying screens for water treatment facilities. We're working now on weaving nonwovens into our modeling.
Augers in the Bilfinger Mid V screen remove nonwovens from the wastewater stream at the headworks.
More to Come
Wastewater trade groups and manufacturers of nonwovens are grappling over standards for what is "flushable," and we can expect the battle to continue. Meanwhile, tons of nonwoven materials are flushed down the world's toilets daily, so the need for removal won't abate.
In fact, expect even more problems as demand for "convenient" wipes grows. According to the Freedonia Group data cited by Nonwovens Industry, the wipes industry will grow steadily, representing 637 million pounds of raw material by 2016. Demand for "green" materials will guide product developers toward greater use of cotton and viscose fibers, they predict.
The bottom line — municipal wastewater treatment operators will need to adapt to a growing, changing challenge, and manufacturers will have to continue developing more effective screening solutions with nonwovens in mind.
It will be hard not to feel like we're up to our waists (or is it wastes?) in alligators.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The original clan in a starwars poster made by me! Not too much added.
These are great. Thanks very much.
great job. i aspire to do one half as well.
Your current take on these posters such as for both Star Wars and Star Trek franchises are much improved over already great work and are improved in such amazing and appropriate ways that I couldn't even imagine them being this good. Congrats on great work and creativity to you good sir!!
love it
That's EPIC! Great job, my friend!
My favourite Star Wars movie, a fantastic job. This works very well.
Perfect. Just perfect. I love that you partially hide the Yavin gas giant behind the Star Wars logo.
Nice touch to add the rare pic of luke in his black version of han's shirt as seen on the ceremony!
Thanks, hard to get a good pic of Hamill before the accident.
good call. I've never seen that promotional picture before.
love it but luke didn't wear black in a new hope. that was jedi.

I'm 8 weeks along and think my water broke two days ago. I coughed and thought I had peed my pants. It seemed strange since my bladder wasn't full and it's so early for that to happen. Anyway I went to change my clothes. The next morning I started bleeding. I put myself on bed rest just in case and everything seemed to slow down. Last night my lower back was hurting and this morning I have pretty consistent mild cramping and more bleeding and mucus. I have been looking up everything I can online to get a picture of what to expect. Everyone says your water "can't break" at 8 weeks. It wasn't very much water (which would make since to me considering how small my uterus still is) Also, it didn't smell like urine. Anyway, I was hoping to find out if anyone can give me some insight of how to go about this naturally at home. I've had six children naturally and the last two were unassisted births that went really well. This will be my first loss. I don't want a D&C if I can help it.
I'm not really sad yet although I have cried a few times. That doesn't seem normal either. I'm in unchartered waters here. I have no idea what to do, think or feel. Any advice or experience is much appreciated.

High-intensity discharge (HID) lighting provides the second highest efficacy and longest service life of any lighting type. Both HIDs and LEDs can save 75%–90% of lighting energy when they replace incandescent lighting. In a high-intensity discharge lamp, electricity arcs between two electrodes, creating an intensely bright light. Mercury, sodium, or metal halide gas acts as the conductor.
|In a high-intensity discharge lamp, electricity arcs
between two electrodes, creating an intensely
bright light. Mercury, sodium, or metal halide gas
act as the conductor.
HID lamps use an electric arc to produce intense light. Like fluorescent lamps, they require ballasts. They also take up to 10 minutes to produce light when first turned on because the ballast needs time to establish the electric arc. Because of the intense light they produce at a high efficacy, HID lamps are commonly used for outdoor lighting and in large indoor arenas. Because the lamps take awhile to establish, they are most suitable for applications in which they stay on for hours at a time.
HID ballast technology is very old and often highly inefficient. Interfacing HID with advanced controls is difficult and dimming is not practical. LEDs are rapidly displacing many traditional HID lighting markets, such as stadium and roadway lighting, because they turn on instantly and are easily dimmed and controlled.
The three most common types of high-intensity discharge lamps are:
Mercury Vapor Lamps
Mercury vapor lamps—the oldest types of high-intensity discharge lighting—were formerly used for street lighting, but are now only rarely used for that purpose. Nearly all new lamps sold in North America today for street lighting are either metal halide or LEDs, which have also displaced mercury vapor lamps in sports arenas and gymnasiums. Mercury vapor lamps provide about 50 lumens per watt, but ballast loss can reduce the system efficacy to about 30 lumens per watt, which is not competitive with LEDs.
Metal Halide Lamps
Metal halide lamps produce a bright, white light with the best color rendition among high-intensity lighting types. They are used to light large indoor areas, such as gymnasiums and sports arenas, and outdoor areas, such as car lots.
Metal halide lamps are similar in construction and appearance to mercury vapor lamps. The addition of metal halide gases to mercury gas within the lamp results in higher light output, more lumens per watt, and better color rendition than from mercury gas alone.
High-Pressure Sodium Lamps
High-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting—a type of high-intensity discharge lighting—are rarely used in North America. Other, more efficacious and higher quality lamp types have displaced HPS lamps from nearly all of their traditional markets. The only remaining significant application of HSP lamps is in parking garages, but LEDs are also displacing them from that application.

If something doesn't work, the Broncos coach believes "try it again." If it doesn't work week after week, try it again, fail again and again. First- and-goal, have Moreno lose a yard, then another yard, then Orton throw the ball away. That pattern continues to fail. Doesn't continued failure indicate there is maybe a need to try something else? And that doesn't mean a pass to Ryan Clady. — Joe R
Pathetic "D."
Let's not forget the defense was pathetic in this game. It gave up 241 yards on the ground. Not many teams win after a performance like that. As usual, there is plenty of blame to go around. — Matt R.

One of the most pathetic offensive performances in recent memory. How many times can you run Moreno for a 1-yard loss on first down? I counted 16. The lack of creativity with all the weapons we have is inexcusable. — Ron
No mystery.
Opposing teams have figured out how to beat the Broncos. You see the same thing in every loss. Stop the run, crowd the line of scrimmage, blitz up the middle, don't let anything deep. Screens and passes to backs go nowhere because the defense is crowding the line of scrimmage. They simply do not believe that Orton can beat them downfield — and they are right. — Jim

Information Papers
Changing the Culture
What is it?
The complex interaction between populations, technology, governments, military forces, and external actors is underpinned by culture and the physical environment. "Every Soldier is a Sensor" (ES2), Cultural Awareness/Language Training, Human Terrain Teams (HTT), and Red Teaming are wartime readiness imperatives and key to adapting traditional military processes and thinking to current and future complex operating environments.
What is the Army doing now?
The routine observation and reporting of patterns and changes in the operating environment through interaction with the local populace are ES2 tasks which have been incorporated in Army Doctrine, all Initial Entry Training, collective training at Army Combat Training Centers, and most recently have been added to the "America's Army" video game.
In line with this, the Army Intelligence Center (USAIC) has established a Culture Center and deploys Mobile Training Teams (MTT) to promote cultural awareness and training tailored to unit/mission needs. Additionally, the Defense Language Institute and Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) has established training programs and "outreach" initiatives. These include language MTTs, "survival kits" for deploying forces, web-based Global Language On-line Support System (GLOSS) instruction (currently 12 target languages) and commercial language training technologies to sustain and enhance perishable language skills.
The University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth runs three high quality "Red Team" training courses to develop critical thinking and non-traditional analytical skills aimed at identifying dependencies, unintended effects, vulnerabilities, and mitigating strategies. Red Teams will aid staffs during planning and operations by identifying potential weaknesses, vulnerabilities and unseen opportunities, anticipate and account for the cultural perceptions of adversaries and others, and conduct independent and unbiased critical reviews and analyses.
The Army is embedding HTTs with BCTs which are deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan in order to provide a broader and more diverse understanding of the local populace and tribal networks. These HTTs are comprised of five personnel, including two social science PhDs (Cultural Anthropologists). The HTT serves as the BCT commander's embedded cultural advisor who helps him and his staff to understand the "human terrain" dimension of complex operating environments. They provide operationally-relevant research in support of staff planning and operations as well as utilizing "reach back" capability.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army will continue to integrate cultural and language lessons learned and feedback from operational theaters into our training at institutional, home station, and combat training centers. The Army continues to institutionalize the concept of Red Teaming by adding Red Teams to existing force structure to every echelon of command from the Brigade Combat Team through Army headquarters. Finally, the Army HTT efforts are informing USD (I) and DIA planning to extend the HTT concept for Combatant Command use.
Why is this important to the Army?
Success in stability and counterinsurgency (COIN) operations requires detailed understanding of complex cultural and historical "human dimension" dynamics. Ongoing Army programs capitalize on Soldier observations and reasoning skills and develop them for optimal battlefield effect.

5 Signs It's Time to Quit Your Job
TheStreet) -- If you're thinking of leaving your job, you're not alone. A bad boss or a troublesome client can make even the most patient employee want to pack up their desk and head home forever. Half of all employees in the finance industry feel ambivalent about or are trying to leave their positions in the next year, according to business consultancy CEB, and a majority of employees -- 70% -- are disengaged from the workplace, according to a recent Gallup poll. Although some workplace issues improve after you've had time to step back and cool down, some can be negative enough to warrant handing in your resignation. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to know whether to stick it out and hope for change or start looking for something new. We checked in with experts who give us a breakdown on the top five signs it's time to quit your job and move on to greener pastures.Your boss is emotionally abusive. If everyone agrees your boss is unpleasant, you may just need to wait it out until he or she is forced to leave, says Mark Faust, CEO of Echelon Management International, a growth advisory firm. But if your boss is abusive, that's something that should never be tolerated. "People who are naturally mean tend not to transform, whether it roots in the boss being bipolar or just a person of low character," Faust says. "If no opportunities exist to be moved away from the abusive boss, or if he or she is the owner of the company, bolt!" Employees should be careful not to interpret a one-time fight with a boss as emotional abuse, says Stephen A. Lowisz, chief executive of recruitment and research firm Qualigence International. "If you have a blowup with your boss for the first time, it's not really time to leave. But if this is a situation that is continuous, it may be time to run."NEW YORK (

Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh reports that Sheriff's Deputies are investigating an afternoon truck--pedestrian accident.
At approximately 11:42 a.m., the Onondaga County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a truck--pedestrian accident reported on Lakeshore Road, near Maple Drive, where a FEHER Rubbish Removal garbage truck, operated by Paul J. Bialobreski (30), of Syracuse, struck a pedestrian.
Deputies report that the Bialobreski, who was picking up trash in the northbound lane of Lakeshore Road, began
backing up his garbage truck when he struck James Piazza (64), of Maple Drive in Cicero. Piazza, who was walking northbound on Lakeshore Road was knocked down and ran over by the truck's rear tires and became trapped between the dual axles.
Rescue crews from the Cicero, North Syracuse and South Bay Fire Departments responded to the scene and immediately began extricating Piazza from the beneath the truck. Within 60 minutes, rescue crews were able to free Piazza and transport him via ambulance to University Hospital, where he is in stable condition.

The lighting in all the pages is outstanding! I esopecially fell in love with this last page here because it's so calm and silent. Just beautifull.

Re: Pitching to Longoria
posted at 9/11/2011 7:23 PM EDTDeliberately loading the bases with any pitcher on the mound is risky. But that tactic increases the number of ways a doubleplay can be turned and also affects the defensive alignment. Bard might have walked in the winning run, sure; but he went 0 and 2 on Longoria and then piped a pitch. Was he wild warming up? Was he wild on the mound warming up? Did anyone notice? If he wasn't wild, then you put two guys on and play for two. What Bard did a few days earlier is old news.

The net proceeds are intended to be used by the Company for the completion of the Itafós Project, development of the Santana Project, and for working capital and general and administrative purposes. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities of MBAC Fertilizer Corp. in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Antenor Silva Vice Chairman & Chief Executive Officer FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as the completion of Itafós and the advancement of the Santana projects in Brazil based on the timing and success of exploration activities and the expected use of proceeds from the offering. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "planning", "planned", "expects" or "looking forward", "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", or "belief", or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions made by management and considered reasonable at the time such assumptions were made, including, the result of drilling and exploration activities, that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur, and that laboratory and other related services are available and perform as contracted. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future commodities' price; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those factors disclosed in the Company's current annual information form, management's discussion and analysis and the short form prospectus dated January 31, 2013, all available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although MBAC has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding the Company's current plans, objectives and expectations and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. SOURCE MBAC Fertilizer Corp.

While baby boomer and Generation X directors like Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and a slew of others are still making interesting and entertaining films, a new generation of young directors is making their mark with provocative, thoughtful contributions. Here's a list of some up and coming creatives looking to challenge the old masters with thoughtful, provocative work.Jeff Nichols—Take Shelter, Mud, Midnight Special Rian Johnson—Brick, Looper, Star Wars VIII Alex Garland—Ex Machina Dee Rees—PariahDenis Villeneuve—Prisoners, Enemy, SicarioAlex Ross-Perry—The Color Wheel, Listen Up Phillip, Queen of EarthRyan Coogler—Fruitvale Station, CreedKelly Reichardt—Old Joy, Wendy & Lucy, Meeks Cut Off, Night MovesAva DuVernay—I Will Follow, Middle of Nowhere, SelmaAndrew Bujalski—Computer ChessSarah Polley—The Stories We Tell, Away from Her, Take This Waltz
The award-winning, revenge-filled tone poem The Revenant is a magnificently shot film that features sublime cinematography that in scene after scene, generously pays homage to the films of Andrei Tarkovsky (see this video for similarities). It's also a flaccid story immersed in its endless detailing of unromanticized violence and the kind of brute survival it took to endure the unforgiving natural world of the early 19th Century West. The two-plus hour run time forces the audience to withstand the torturous story of a fur trader named Hugh Glass, who finds himself on the wrong end of a vicious grizzly bear attack after he and his fellow traders are mercilessly raided by American Indians in search of an elder's kidnapped daughter. From there, Glass' tormented body witnesses an ever increasing number of physical setbacks and emotional traumas as he plots his revenge on those who've done him harm. The haunting score of the film supplements the film's visual poetry and dreamy flashbacks which provide information regarding Glass' backstory. Prepare yourself for both the beauty and the brutality of The Revenant.
Look, I know you SAY you're sick of superhero movies, but we both know that's not true. Sure, Batman vs. Superman was lame, but that's a DC movie and we are Marvel people. Always have been, always will be. And don't try to tell me you're not excited for the May 5th opening of Captain America: Civil War, because I won't believe you. Tension has been building between Caps and Irons for a while now, and this pro- vs. anti-registration business is just the kind of hot-button political issue that strikes a nerve during a contentious election season. And hey, we're entering Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! What's not exciting about that? In fact, I propose a marathon of all the MCU Phase Two films just to brush up on the mythology before we see Civil War.
First, we'll start with Iron Man 3. Remember how that was such a perfect ending to the whole solo Stark storyline? At least it seemed that way at the time because RDJ was all acting like he was going to hang up his metal suit, but unsurprisingly he just said he might be down for another one. That dude likes money.
Next we'll watch Thor: The Dark World. Okay, not the best of the bunch, but we're completists, so we'll get through it. Because right after that is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and that movie is awesome. Nick Fury gets all wasted and S.H.I.E.L.D. turns out to be like 75% Hydra. That movie even temporarily breathed some life into the otherwise lame S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show.
After that, we'll move on to one of the all-time best Marvel movies: Guardians of the Galaxy. No one could have anticipated that movie would be the critical and commercial success that it is, particularly since it featured some obscure characters like a talking raccoon and a tree dude and starred the formerly schlubby guy from Parks & Rec. But somehow it all worked.
Then it's time for Avengers: Age of Ultron. That one's a bit overstuffed, but it gets better as it goes on, if you ignore the weird shirtless Thor cave stuff that the producers demanded be in there for MCU continuity.
You'd think Ultron would be the capper to Phase Two, but there was one more: Paul Rudd's Ant-Man. This one is a fun heist-centric actioner that could have been a trainwreck (because hey, it's called Ant-Man). We'll never know what the Edgar Wright version of this film would have been, but what we got was actually pretty enjoyable. Michael Douglas looks like Colonel Sanders, though.
So what do you say? We can get through all of these in about 13-and-a-half-hours and it's the weekend…

(T) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
I first came across The Treasure of the Sierra Madre from reading about some of the cinematic influences of Paul Thomas Anderson's film There Will Be Blood. It's a classic adventure film with dramatic depth and a great cast including a gritty, atypically inelegant Humphrey Bogart. Four desperate men hole up in the Mexican mountains hoping to strike it rich by mining for gold. The claustrophobic working and living conditions and the high stakes strain produced from constant suspicion and personal greed leads to a dramatic boiling point that will likely result in a violent resolution.
My two-year-old has very limited access to television, thanks to advice gleaned from child-rearing brain-development experts and also common sense. His world of moving pictures has mostly involved the interactive education of Sesame Street, the animated adventures of misbehaving monkey Curious George, and, thanks to his father's love of all things Aardman, the wooly exploits of British bovid Shaun the Sheep. I grew up on Creature Comforts and Wallace and Gromit, so when it came time for selecting something short that I could enjoy as much as my child, Shaun jumped out at me.
Shaun the character was spun off of the Academy Award-winning Wallace and Gromit short A Close Shave. The series follows Shaun's life on a small rural farm in Britain and his adventures with fellow sheep, a sheepdog named Bitzer, the hapless farmer, and some misfit pigs. Animated in classic Aardman stop-motion style, Shaun is a family-friendly delight.
Last year saw the feature-length adaptation Shaun the Sheep Movie hit theaters, where it enjoyed great critical success. It has since been deservedly nominated for a Best Animated Feature Oscar. In the film, Shaun and the gang find themselves having to venture to the big city in order to rescue their missing farmer while staying out of the clutches of a villainous animal containment worker. The film is hilarious for kids and adults (as well as adults without kids); much like Pixar, Aardman is an expert at appealing to multiple generations. Check it out! It's wool-th your time.
For this post, the first of 25 to follow, I will be recommending a favorite film from each letter of the alphabet.
(A) The Assassin (2015)
The winner of last year's Cannes Film Festival's award for best director, The Assassin is a visual feast of expertly composed images, poetically rendered to evoke the immense beauty of China and its complex political history. The plot's obtuse delivery left me in a state of confusion throughout the viewing, which for some, might understandably be a deal breaker. However, fans of slowly drawn out portraits of morally conflicted, trained killers can ignore the clunker of a story line while still appreciating the magnificent imagery.
The 88th Academy Awards are less than a month away, so if you want to catch up on some of the nominees, the Kalamazoo Public Library can help you out! The following is a list of Oscar-nominated films that are available right now (or very soon) here at KPL:
Summer blockbuster (and, full disclosure, my favorite film of the year) Mad Max: Fury Road received ten nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (George Miller), Cinematography, Film Editing, Costume Design, Visual Effects, Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Sound Mixing & Editing.
Another popular Best Picture nominee, The Martian, scored a Best Actor nod for Matt Damon, as well as nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay (Drew Goddard), Production Design, Visual Effects, and Sound Mixing & Editing.
Steven Spielberg's Cold War drama Bridge of Spies was recognized for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Mark Rylance), Best Original Screenplay (Matt Charman, Joel & Ethan Coen), Original Score (Thomas Newman), Production Design, and Sound Mixing.
The riveting thriller Sicario received nominations for Best Original Score (Jóhann Jóhannsson), Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Editing.
Sci-fi thriller Ex Machina received nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Original Screenplay (Alex Garland).
Three of the Best Animated Feature nominees are currently available: When Marnie Was There, Shaun the Sheep Movie, and Inside Out (which was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay).
Don't miss must-see Best Documentary Feature nominees The Look of Silence and Amy.
Kenneth Branaugh's Cinderella received a nomination for Best Costume Design.
The Hunting Ground and Fifty Shades of Grey received Best Original Song nominations.
The cumbersomely-titled The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared was nominated for Best Makeup & Hairstyling.
All-around juggernaut Star Wars: The Force Awakens received five nominations including Best Original Score (John Williams), Best Film Editing, Visual Effects, and Sound Mixing & Editing. The film is not available yet, but John Williams' Oscar-nominated music is.
The nominees that are not yet available, but are expected within the month are Straight Outta Compton, Spectre, Creed, and Room. You can place a hold on these right now.
So start binging today, and be sure to keep checking our catalog for other Oscar nominated films as more of them become available. For many of the Oscar nominated films that are still in theaters, be sure to check out downtown Kalamazoo's Alamo Drafthouse Theater, which is currently playing The Revenant (12 nominations), The Big Short (5 nominations), Carol (6 nominations), and the 2016 Oscar nominated shorts, both Live Action and Animated.

The editors of Film Comment Magazine have issued their 20 Best Films of 2015 (established by over 100 polled critics) in their newest issue (January/February). Some of the titles have managed to be released on DVD but most have release dates later on this year.

Denis Villenueve is a director who trades in discomfiting ambiguities and psychic dread. His films function to blur and haze, confuse and de-center the viewer's grasp of truth and intention. Right and wrong and black and white are erased with an opaque bleakness that doesn't make for light-hearted viewing of his films. His gripping film Prisoners grappled with the moral implications of revenge and torture. His next film, one even more vague and unsettling, was Enemy, an intense, arty take on the theme of doubling. His newest film Sicario contains the disquieting menace that courses throughout his work. With excellent performances given by Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin, Sicario draws the viewer into the muddy border matrices, nihilism and violence of the drug war between Mexican cartels and the U.S. government.

T. Boone Pickens has been around a long time.
Born in 1928, the 85-year-old billionaire has amassed a
fortune byinvesting in the industry he knows best: oil and
He came from an oil and gas pedigree. His father worked as a
landman leasing oil andmineral rights in Oklahoma. Pickens' first
job out of college was with Phillips Petroleum. He later worked
as a wildcatter.
In 1956, he founded the company that would become Mesa
Petroleum and helped it grow into one of the largest independent
oil companies in the world.
During the 1980s, he became famous for hisacquisition of other
oil and gas companies, including Pioneer Petroleum and Gulf Oil.
His newfound notoriety landed him on the cover of Time Magazine
and prompted him to consider a presidential bid during the 1988
When it comes to investing in the U.S. oil and gas sector, one
would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable or experienced
person anywhere on the planet.
According to13F filings, Pickens opened five new positions in
oil and gas companies during thisyear 's first quarter.
Through hisinvestment firm, BPCapital Management, Pickens
opened positions in
Apache (
Tesoro (
Marathon Petroleum (
Gulfport Energy (Nasdaq: GPOR)
Phillips 66 (
As you might expect, thesestocks have all done well this year.
Gulfport has seen the biggestgains , up 28%. The onlylaggard of
the bunch is Apache, up "only" 8%.
So, considering the big gains we've already seen in this
sector, are any of these picks still a good investment at today's
While I strongly believe all five companies should remain on
investors' short list of stocks to watch, I think Phillips 66
offers the best value at today's prices.
Phillips' strength lies in thediversification of its assets.
Although it is known primarily as a refiner, the company also
owns interests in pipelines and chemical assets that help
boostearnings and provide stability, and help to differentiate
the company from its peers.
As part of a joint venture with
Spectra Energy (
, Phillips owns a 50% interest in
DCP Midstream Partners (DPM)
. DPM owns or operates 62 natural gas processing facilities and
12 NGL fractionation plants. And it services these facilities
through its massive, 62,000 mile natural gas pipeline system.
Regular StreetAuthority readers are probably already familiar
with our fondness for "irreplaceable" assets like pipelines.
These assets are very difficult to replicate, which discourages
competition and helps maximize profits. StreetAuthority expert
Elliott Gue has recommended a number of theseinvestments in his
Top 10 Stocks
newsletter. For example, subscribers who took his advice and
Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP)
are up more than 48% on the recommendation.
In addition to its position in DPM, Phillips holds other
midstream assets, including a 25% interest in the REX pipeline
and investments in fractionation plants.
Although Phillips has been publicly traded only since May
2012, it has already increased itsdividend twice. It currently
pays a rate of 31 cents a share, which comes out to ayield of
1.78% at today's prices.
The company's core refinery business also continues to churn
out profits. Phillips operates a total of 15 refineries, 11 of
which are in the U.S. It also operates one refinery in each of
Malaysia, Germany, the U.K. and Ireland. (In fact, the Whitegate
plant in Ireland is the only refiningfacility of its kind in that
The amount offree cash flow the company generates has grown
enormously over the past three years. During the past 12 months,
PSX reported almost $5 billion in free cash flow, a fivefold
increase over the $946 million reported in 2010.
Free cash flow is an important metric to consider because it
indicates that a company hascash to expand, develop new products,
buy backstock and pay dividends. Rising free cash flow is a good
indicator of a healthy, thriving company.
In taking a closer look at current shareholders, I also
discovered that T. Boone Pickens is not alone in his fondness for
PSX.Warren Buffett 's
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B)
owns over 27 millionshares of the company -- an investment of
more than $1.9 billion.
As they say -- great minds think alike.
Risks to Consider:
In December, PSX announced it would form amaster limited
partnership (MLP) sometime in the second half of this year.
Transportation and terminal assets typically do well as MLPs,
and some of these assets are likely to be the foundation for
Phillips' new entity. However, if PSX decides toconsolidate all
or some of its pipeline assets into an MLP, it could damage
diversification and reduce one of the company's key
Action to Take -->
PSX is currently trading at a forwardprice-to-earnings ratio of
7.4 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.8, both of which are slightly
lower than the industry average. The stock rates a buy below $60
per share.

Wale Watch: Wale Says Curse Words, Does Not Think Of The Children
So Wale has found himself embroiled in yet another mediocre scandal. Last weekend he performed at Baltimore's very public Artscape festival and said a bunch of curse words on stage. People are very mad about this! Sure Wale (who – wisely, for once – hasn't publicly addressed the issue beyond this nearly incomprehensible tweet) and/or his management are partially (possibly?) at fault for misreading or not reading or ignoring contractual obligations. But let's be real: Artscape didn't do their research. Even a cursory review of the guy's catalog would show that the dreaded f- and n-words figure heavily into his oeuvre. It's tasteless to book an artist and ask him to be something he's not, especially at an event that purports to be a "celebration of the arts." Art is frequently profane.
That programs like these book rappers, even "safe" ones who wear expensive sneakers instead of expensive jewelry, in the name of diversity or coolness and then refuse them an unfiltered platform defeats the purpose. Profanity is part of the nature of the genre. Hip hop was born as the voice of the voiceless and sometimes the voiceless are profane. (Sometimes the voiced are too! But mostly in private, which is part of the reason they tend to make boring ass art.) You wouldn't book a noise act and then tell him to turn down the volume or have a contractual clause where black metal bands are forced to chill with all that Satanism.
Some of the press chasing this limp excuse for a scandal, including esteemed hip hop resource the Washington Post, has reported that Wale was using "racial slurs" at the show. This is a completely disingenuous allegation given the context of the word in question. Yes Wale was using a word that has been historically used as a slur but he quite clearly wasn't using that word as anything resembling a slur. That's why words – and, by extension, hip hop – are great. Their functions and meanings can change based on their surroundings.
But nobody who is outraged about curse words cares about context or words. Or art, for that matter. They are just Think Of The Children outrage types. As if kids don't encounter more profanity than you or I do in any given day – on the playground, on the internet and in the rap songs they are hiding on their ipod. Maybe instead of pouring so much effort into puritanical indignance these folks should take some time to explain to kids that all words are malleable, that they can be used for good or evil depending on time, place and application. Was Artscape the ideal time or place to be shouting "real n&$%z f&@ with me" over and over again? Probably not. Was this a particularly noble application of profanity? Of course not. But in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. Not for Wale, not for his oh-so-sensitive audience, only for sad people who are passionate about making issues out of non-issues. Well fuck them. Next year I'm posting outside of Artscape with a giant Radio Raheem style boombox and cranking this on repeat:

Assad Says There's No Proof of Chemical Attack, Warns Strike Could Start 'Regional War'
"Everyone will lose control of the situation when the powder keg explodes," he says.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad responded to days of threats from the U.S. and France on Monday, challenging the two nations to present proof that he used chemical weapons. "Obama and Hollande have been unable to do so, even to their own people," Assad said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro. He went on to question the logic of his army using nerve gas "in an area where it is actually present and where soldiers have been wounded by these weapons," and warned that a military strike against Syria could start a larger conflict:
The Middle East is a powder keg, and today the flame is coming very near. We cannot talk merely about the Syrian response, but about what might take place after the first strike. But nobody knows what will happen. Everyone will lose control of the situation when the powder keg explodes. Chaos and extremism will spread. There is a risk of regional war.
"There will be repercussions, negative of course, for the French interests," added Assad. Khaled Abboud, a Syrian parliament member close to Assad made a less vague threat on Monday, telling The Wall Street Journal that Syria and its ally Hezbollah will retaliate in the event of a U.S. strike. "In my assessment, Hezbollah will side with Syria in certain operations targeting warships in the Mediterranean," he said.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that a consensus is emerging among members of Congress, at least on whether Assad gassed his own people. "The debate is shifting away from, did he use chemical weapons, to what should be done about it?" said Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, following a telephone briefing to the House Democratic Caucus by top Obama administration officials on Monday.
Specifically, many lawmakers from both parties have complained that the Obama administration's authorization proposal is too open-ended, and want to add an expiration date, as well as a ban on putting troops on the ground. A White House official said they're open to reworking the language in the resolution, "within the parameters that (the) president has previously explained."
Others still say the Obama administration isn't going far enough to support the Syrian rebels. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have long been the most prominent hawks on Syria, had an hourlong meeting with President Obama at the White House on Monday, which they said was "encouraging." The senators suggested their vote in contingent upon the president outlining a strategy to turn the tide of Syria's civil war against Assad, but they also urged fellow members of Congress to support the authorization.
"Now that a resolution is going to be before the Congress of the United States, we want to work to make that resolution something that majorities of the members of both houses could support," McCain said. "A rejection of that, a vote against the resolution by Congress, I think would be catastrophic, because it would undermine the credibility of the United States of America and of the President of the United States."

Euro zone finance ministers forced Cyprus' savers to pay as much as 10 percent of their deposits to help pay for a bailout of the country's troubled banking sector , a move which is expected to raise 5.8 billion euros. In return, the country will get 10 billion euros ($13 billion) in assistance. run on banks in Cyprus and maybe other countries too. " FEAR"
The biggest investors in Cyprees banks is illegal Russian mob money
Cypress has been a banking haven for those wishing to keep funds away from their own government tax collectors. I wonder how much Apple lost? Apparently this is a very special case. CNBC was suggesting that Spaniards and Italians would fear that their own deposits would be taxed, which I think is a very wrong way of looking at it. Rather, Spain and Italy are probably happy that they won't be paying to bail out corporations and individuals wishing to avoid taxes.
The EU was wise to send the message that there's no free lunch. Depositors can't get high returns, low taxes, and complete financial security, all at the same time.
Of course, it's inevitable. The currently global/financial system is a very big house of cards. Banks made bads loans and then forced taxpayers to bail them out. So, the poor choices are protected by the lender of last resort. No matter how poor investment firms and banks act, they now know that gov't will support them no matter what. it was only a matter of time before the bankers figured out they could force gov't to steal money from account holders. Oh wait, the did this with MF Global when they stole the sequestered money of investors. Just wait. Go research Gerald celente.
Read the small print on your IRA. Gov can close it up overnight.

We were given 3 pages max each artist, so I decided to do some original characters which follow a theme It holds a theme of hope, where the first piece, featuring my butterfly gijinka OC is "Last Snow", followed by a schoolgirl in the "First Bloom" and ending with "Hope's harvest". It was a really fun experience, seeing how artists around australia are working for a common cause and drawing in it has made my art...worthwhile in a sense?

Sidux 2009-03: Debian Derivative Brings KDE 4.3.2
With Sidux 2009-03, code-named Momos, the Sidux project provides the next version of its distro based on Debian sid.
Sidux by name alone reveals its origin: the distro takes packages from Debian's unstable sid tree, patches them and thereby brings a distro to the market that is inherently stable. The newest verson bears the code-name Momos and is based on Linux kernel 2.6.31, which supports a slew of new hardware, among them USB 3.0 and X-FI sound cards. The desktop is now KDE 4.3.2, replacing KDE 3 and the Qt3 libraries.
Particularly challenging was integrating SysVinit, X.org and Insserv, whose developers were making countless changes to underlying components. Download from the project webpage will require some patience, as packages are currently not available. However, the ISOs are on the Debian project release page.
