"Friedmans" and "Splendor" Win Jury Prizes at Sundance; "Station Agent" and "My Flesh and Blood" Win Two Awards Each
by Eugene Hernandez
Andrew Jarecki's documentary "Capturing the Friedmans" and Shari Springer Berman & Robert Pulcini's dramatic film "American Splendor," won the Grand Jury Prizes at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. The awards were presented on Saturday night in Park City, UT on the final weekend of the Sundance Institute's annual film festival.
The audience awards went to Jonathan Karsh's documentary "My Flesh and Blood" and Tom McCarthy's "The Station Agent." Karsh also won the documentary directing award and McCarthy won the Waldo Salt screenwriting prize for his "Station Agent" script. Niki Caro's "Whale Rider," won the World Cinema audience prize.
Jarecki's "Friedmans," his first feature, offers a devasting look at a family torn apart by the criminal charges brought against a father and son. Told through interviews, home movies and video footage shot by the family during the explosive disintegration of their bonds, the film captures their painful search for the truth. The film, which provoked debates and discussion among viewers, remains without distribution as of yet. It was produced by Andrew Jarecki and Marc Smerling.
Springer Berman and Pulcini's "Splendor" was a rousing hit with audiences thoughout the week. The HBO production, produced by Ted Hope stars Paul Giamatti in the role of mopey everyman comic book creator Harvey Pekar. Incorporating doc footage, animation and interviews with Pekar and the real people in his life, the dramatic film illustrates the life of a truly unique individual and his loved ones. Hope Davis co-stars as Pekar's wife while James Urbaniak portrays Pekar's friend, Robert Crumb. HBO is considering a theatrical release ahead of the movie's debut on the cable network.
Ovations also greeted the audience award winners during the festival, with extended standing ovations for "The Station Agent" and "Whale Rider" in particular. In "Agent," actor Peter Dinklage shines as Finbar McBride, a quiet model train shop employee suffering through the social stigma of dwarfism. Moving to a dilapidated train depot in rural New Jersey to escape, McBride finds a new, more satisfying life after connecting with two new friends who are played by Patricia Clarkson and Bobby Cannavale. The movie was acquired this week by Miramax.
"Whale Rider," which will be released by Newmarket Films in June, is the coming-of-age story of a young girl, portrayed beautifully by Keisha Castle-Hughes, living in New Zealand within a Maori community that is struggling to find leadership as it wrestles with its traditions. It also won the audience award at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival. Meanwhile the documentary "My Flesh and Blood" looks at a group of eleven special needs children and Susan Tom, the adoptive mother who cares for them. Karsh is a three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist who came across the Tom's story while on assignment for Evening Magazine in Northern California.
Dramatic jurors Steve Buscemi, Emanuel Levy, David O'Russell, and Tilda Swinton singled out the work of Patricia Clarkson, giving her a special jury prize for outstanding performance for her work in "The Station Agent," "Pieces of April," and "All the Real Girls." They presented the same prize to Charles Busch for his work in "Die Mommie Die." Additionally, the dramatic jury honored David Gordon Green's "All The Real Girls" and A. Dean Bell's "What Alice Found" with Special Jury Prizes for Emotional Truth.
The dramatic directing prize was awarded to Catherine Hardwicke for her dramatic film, "Thirteen," while the excellence in cinematography prize went to Dana Kupper, Gordon Quinn and Peter Gilbert for the documentary "Stevie" and Derek Cianfrance for the dramatic film, "Quattro Noza."
The festival's Freedom of Expression Award, presented to a documentary that "informs and educates the public on issues of social or political concern," was awarded to "What I Want My Words to Do To You" by Judith Katz, Madeleine Gavin and Gary Sunshine. Produced by Katz, the film explores a writing workshop for inmates, led by playwright Eve Ensler. Special doc jury prizes were awarded by jurors Nanette Burstein, Susan Froemke, Avon Kirkland, Lesli Klainberg, and Doug Pray, to Stanley Nelson's "The Murder of Emmett Till" and Blue Hadaegh and Grover Babcock's "A Certain Kind of Death."
The grand jury prize for short filmmaking went to Stefan Nadelman's "Terminal Bar," a history of a legendary New York City drinking establishment. Jurors Therese DePrez, Scott Foundas and Ruby Lerner awarded special honorable mentions to Vance Malone's "Ocularist," James Brett's "Earthquake," David Russo's "Pan With Us," Sandy McLeod and Gina Reticker's "Asylum," Francesca Talenti's "The Planets," Aristomenis Tsirbas' "The Freak," Vince Di Meglio's "Fits & Starts," and Serguei Bassine's "From the 104th Floor." Winners of the Sundance Online Film Festival Viewers Awards were "Broken Saints" directed by Brooke Burgess (animation), and "One" directed by Stewart Hendler (short subject).
A new award for 2003, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Prize, singled out outstanding independent films on science and technology, while also showcasing the work of "emerging filmmakers tackling compelling topics in science." The $20,000 cash prize will be shared by "Dopamine" director and co-writer Mark Decena and co-writer Tim Breitbach.

Sajama Group
The loan they are applying for will benefit this group of women with small businesses, of which Señora Santusa is a member. She says that this is the first time they are joining Pro Mujer, through the invitation of an advert that the institution placed in their area. Currently she has a corner shop that she started when she saw her neighbour's need for one in the area and the need to increase her family's income.
The loan that Señora Santusa will receive will be used to increase her capital so that she can buy drinks, rice, and noodles, which she will acquire at the wholesalers in the city of La Paz and then sell in her sales space. This kind of work will allow her to earn an income to support her family, since she lives in a common-law marriage and has 4 children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, Señora Santusa answered that she likes the training, the savings and the health service.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Santusa es integrante, ella indica que es la primera vez que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de la promoción que realizó la institución en su zona. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de tienda de barrio que implementó al observar la necesidad de sus vecinos por un negocio semejante en la zona y la necesidad de generar mayor economía en su familia.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de frescos, arroz, fideo) que adquirirá de las vendedoras mayoristas de la ciudad de La Paz y posteriormente lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella vive en unión libre y tiene cuatro hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el área la capacitación, el ahorro y el área de salud.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

|Ron Etter I'm interested in basic questions about the ecology and evolution of marine organisms, especially the forces that control the origin and maintenance of diversity. My research involves correlative, experimental and theoretical approaches and studies at the genetic, population and community levels of organization. We conduct research in a wide variety of marine ecosystems from the intertidal zone to the deep sea. I received my BS in biology from UMass/Boston and my PhD in Biology from Harvard University. I am currently a Professor in the Biology Dept. at UMass/Boston, and in the Intercampus School of Marine Science.
Martine Wagstaff
I am a PhD Candidate interested in understanding basic ecological and evolutionary processes and identifying factors that threaten these. My current work in shallow subtidal habitats in the Gulf of Maine focuses on the following: 1) identifying ecological processes that structure the balance between algae and sessile invertebrates; 2) how invasive species have disrupted community structure through time; and 3) how invasive species themselves evolve once they enter new habitats. I use experimental in situ approaches to do this and am happiest in the field.
Scott Morello
I am a PhD candidate interested in population and community level marine ecology and how forces structure abundance and diversity at different scales. My current research in Rocky Intertidal systems in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) makes use of Multi-species Markov Chain Models (MCMs) and field experimentation in understanding: 1) How well MCMs capture GOM community structure and dynamics and the effects of spatial and temporal variance; 2) The role of direct and indirect interactions in controlling community structure and dynamics, with specific attention to the role of a major predator; 3) Large scale modulation of species interactions and its role in regional shifts of intertidal assemblages. I hold a BS in Environmental Science with a minor in Geology from Dickinson College, and my previous work includes Fish Biology and Ecology, Sea Turtle Research and Conservation, Environmental Education, and Environmental Consulting.
Yvonne Vaillancourt
Though my interests are varied, studying sponges allows me to combine work on physiology, ecology and evolution of marine invertebrates. Currently I am a graduate student working on a project investigating the effect of wave energy on the ecology and evolution of an intertidal sponge. I also work full time at UMass Boston as the coordinator of the teaching labs and I run an immersive summer oceanography course for Veterans Upward Bound at UMass Boston and teach a Scientific Foundations course for their program as well.
Amanda Glazier
My interests mainly focus on population genetics and patterns and processes of the evolution of marine organisms. I am currently enrolled in the PhD program in Environmental Biology and am in the beginning stages of working on these topics in relation to deep-sea organisms. I recently transferred to UMass Boston from a Master's program at UMass Dartmouth. I received an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences with a focus in Marine Biology from the University of Maryland.
|Aaron Honig
Aaron Honig joined the Etter Lab as a PhD student in 2014. He graduated from Tufts University in 2006 with a double-major in biology and environmental studies. During his undergraduate studies, Aaron conducted field research on leaf-cutter ant herbivory in northwestern Ecuador at the Bilsa Biological Research Station. After graduation, he taught marine ecology at the Catalina Island Marine Institute in southern California. After leaving California, he continued biological field research in northeastern Costa Rica, studying sea turtle nesting ecology at the Caño Palma Biological Research Station. Aaron then earned an M.S. degree while studying bivalve ecology and marsh restoration at Louisiana State University AgCenter, jointly working under the US. Geological Survey and Louisiana SeaGrant. His current work focuses on the use of trace element fingerprinting in quantifying spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersal in the blue mussel along the northern Gulf of Maine. Generally, Aaron's dissertation research will focus on potential effects of marine climate change (changes in temperature, pCO2, aragonite saturation state) on mussel physiology and ecology. He is very glad to be back in his native Massachusetts, despite recent blizzards, and looks forward to contributing to our understanding of coastal invertebrate ecology during his studies at UMass, Boston.
Casey McCabe
I joined the Etter lab as a Ph.D. student in 2015. I am currently working with Ron and Robyn Hannigan to quantify spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersal of the blue mussel in the Gulf of Maine (GoM) as a part of a larger project investigating invertebrate population connectivity and community dynamics. My research uses laboratory techniques such as elemental fingerprinting to identify source areas of newly settled mussels and elucidate movement patterns of larval mussels. This work helps to provide empirical evidence to support the development of effective bivalve management strategies in the GoM. Prior to coming to UMass, I earned my B.S. in Biology from Earlham College. My background includes environmental research, museum collections management, science education, and organic farming.
Angelo Christophe
I am McNair Fellow majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. My main interests are in environmental research, primarily focused on deep-sea evolution or the impact of anthropogenic activities. I am currently sorting deep-sea samples to find minute clams, which is very interesting because of the wide range of other strange invertebrates within the samples. I'm also involved in quantifying a molecular clock for deep-sea protobranch bivalves and plan to become involved in a variety of other projects ongoing in the lab. Everyone in the Etterlab has been very welcoming, warm and helpful in teaching me about the Deep Ocean.

It may still be early days for NBC's new conspiratorial series The Event, but one thing's for sure: We'll get some level of closure from the show – It's just been confirmed for a full first season.
The Event was one of three NBC shows to get a full season order yesterday, with both Law & Order: Los Angeles and Outsourced sharing the success of receiving the "back nine." NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad is quoted as saying "We are pleased with the quality of The Event, Law & Order: Los Angeles and Outsourced, and feel they are an important part of helping to re-build our schedule and our studio pipeline… We believe in these new series and the creative auspices behind them," but the most interesting part of this Hollywood Reporter story is this part:
The news does mean, however, that Event fans will have a stronger chance of finding out what "The Event" actually is — sources say its reveal is planned for near the end of the first season.
A real reveal? Then what happens if the show gets a second season…?
Really? I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of the first show.
Tried watching the 2nd episode on Scifi …….. was not feeling it.. i think they need to slow it down a bit
Damn this is a great show. Sure it jumps around a lot, but the storytelling is awesome. Reminds me of Tarantino's style with his movies. It's not in chronological order but it all makes sense and has to do with the individual story they are telling each episode.

This article analyzes the links between migratory processes and the evolution of nationality legislation in Spain. We argue that this case challenges the theoretical models that link immigration to liberalizing reforms in citizenship law. Despite large-scale immigration experienced over the last two decades, Spanish nationality law has remained strongly focused on keeping ties with Spanish communities abroad. To account for the high degree of stability of Spanish citizenship law we structure our analysis along three basic lines: the historical conceptions derived from Spain's past as a colonial power, as well as its tradition as a country of emigration; the lack of incentives for political actors to introduce the reform of citizenship law in the political agenda; and the strategies adopted by those political actors in relation to the politicization of immigration.

The Toronto stock market was little changed Wednesday as traders hoped that Republicans and Democrats would arrive at a last-minute deal to avoid hitting the U.S. debt limit.
The S&P/TSX composite index was off 7.42 points at 12,924.04, with weakness led by falling gold stocks.
The Canadian dollar rose 0.16 of a cent to 96.5 cents US as the U.S. dollar weakened just hours before the debt limit is reached. At that point Washington will lose its ability to borrow and will be required to meet its obligations by relying on cash in hand and incoming tax receipts.
U.S. indexes were sharply higher as traders also took in earnings from toymaker Mattel, Bank of America and PepsiCo.
The Dow Jones industrials jumped 144.14 points to 15,312.15, the Nasdaq was ahead 31.35 points to 3,825.36 and the S&P 500 index was up 15.51 points to 1,713.57.
Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were hoping to come to an agreement later Wednesday to raise the debt ceiling and end a partial government shutdown and, if possible, hold votes later in the day.
Negotiations between the two Senate leaders resumed after House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner tried to write legislation that would satisfy GOP lawmakers, especially conservatives. He crafted two versions of the bill, but neither made it to a House vote because both faced certain defeat.
Boehner's inability to produce a bill that would pass in his own chamber likely means he will have to let the House vote on a Senate compromise, even if that means it passes with strong Democratic and weak GOP support.
Threats of a downgrade to U.S. debt also provided added incentive to get a deal done.
Ratings agency Fitch warned after the close Tuesday that it was reviewing the government's AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, though no action was near. The firm, one of the three leading U.S. credit-ratings agencies, said that "the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default."
Commodities were mixed and the gold sector led decliners, down 1.28 per cent while December gold bullion in New York gained $4.70 to US$1,277.90 an ounce. Goldcorp. (TSX:G) faded 35 cents to C$24.62.
The base metals component eased 0.7 per cent as December copper on the Nymex dropped two cents to US$3.28 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) gave back 22 cents to C$18.64.
The industrials sector was down 0.5 per cent after SNC-Lavalin Inc. (TSX:SNC) said it now expects consolidated net income in fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $10-million to $50-million, sharply lower than earlier guidance in the range of $220-million to $235-million. Among other things, the engineering company blamed a number of money-losing legacy contracts and a $75-million charge related to a restructuring of its European operations and its stock fell $2.05, or 4.65 per cent, to $42.08.
The energy sector was ahead 0.23 per cent and the November crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was off two cents at US$101.19 a barrel after closing Tuesday at its lowest level since early July. Niko Resources (TSX:NKO) climbed 12 cents to C$3.35.
It was a heavy earnings day in the U.S. and PepsiCo posted earnings of US$1.91-billion, or $1.23 per share. That compared with $1.9-billion, or $1.21 per share, a year ago. Not including one-time items, the company said it earned $1.24 per share, seven cents better than analysts' forecasts. Revenue rose two per cent to $16.91-billion, less than the $17.02-billion Wall Street expected. The company stood by its full-year earnings forecast and its shares gained $1.16 to US$81.76..
Bank of America Corp. earned $2.5-billion, or 20 cents a share, in the July-September period, up from $340-million a year earlier and beating the 19 cents expected by financial analysts. Third-quarter revenue slipped to $22.2-billion from $22.5-billion, coming in close to the analysts' forecast of $22-billion and its shares ticked up 18 cents to $14.42.
Mattel's third-quarter net income rose 16 per cent to $422.8-million, or $1.21 per share. That was up from $365.9-million, or $1.04 per share, in the prior-year period, buoyed by higher sales of American Girl and Monster High products and strength in all regions. Its performance beat Wall Street expectations and its shares ran ahead $1.52 to $43.07.
European bourses were negative with London's FTSE 100 index down 0.21 per cent, Frankfurt's DAX 0.04 per cent lower and the Paris CAC 40 off 0.5 per cent.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.2 per cent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 0.5 per cent, China's Shanghai Composite fell 1.8 per cent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.1 per cent.Report Typo/Error

Actor Kamal Haasan and Sarika's younger daughter Akshara Haasan, who has studied music and filmmaking, is now bitten by the acting bug. But both her parents feel Akshara is more cut out for being behind the camera.
Since their elder daughter Shruti is already an actress, Akshara's filmmaking potential would have nicely rounded off the family's creative ambit. But that has not happened.
"Kamalji and Sarikaji thought Akshara was more interested in direction. Sarika put her on to her friend Rahul Dholakia with whom she has worked in 'Parzania' and 'Society'. Akshara assisted Rahul Dholakia and the whole family thought she was heading towards a career in filmmaking," said a family friend of Kamal Haasan's family.
It was director R. Balakrishnan, popularly called R. Balki, who spotted the actor in Akshara.
"He offered her a role in his new film and Akshara took the plunge," the source added.
In the new film, Akshara is paired with Dhanush, a friend of Akshara's sister Shruti and also the son-in-law of Kamal Haasan's arch-rival Rajinikanth.
While Dhanush and Akshara will star opposite one another, the film also has megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The project is likely to take off next month.
Akshara's father Kamal had said of her a while ago: "She has assisted Mr. Rahul Dholakia. I think she is more keen on filmmaking than acting. Every time Akshara stands behind the camera and says, 'This is where I want to be', I am reminded of myself.
"I started behind the camera and gradually moved to the front. Maybe she too will do so. But not right now."

Does anybody know if MS-Project 2007 can be used as client to a ProjectSever 2003 installation? We have an existing setup with Project-Pro 2003 clients on XP. For our newer Win7 machines the standard Project is 2007. Will this work ? Or would we have to install Project 2003 Pro on the Win7 machines? (Rather not do that, as the rest of Office on the Win7 machines will be 2007.)
I know this is a long dead question, but in case it comes up for anyone's search:
No, Project Pro 2007 can not be used with Project Server 2003. Under certain circumstances (Backward Compatibility Mode is enabled) Project Pro 2007 can act as a client for Project Server 2010, but other than that, the client and server version must match.

Publisher's Description
What will you hear when you read this book to a preschool child?
Lots of noise!
Children will chant the rhythmic words. They'll make the sounds the animals make. And they'll pretend to be the zoo animals featured in the book-- look at the last page!
Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle are two of the most respected names in children's education and children's illustrations. This collaboration, their first since the classic Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (published more than thirty years ago and still a best-seller) shows two masters at their best.
A Redbook Children's Picture Book Award winner
The rollicking companion to Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Author Bio
Bill Martin, Jr. (1916-2004) was an elementary-school principal, teacher, writer, and poet. His more than 300 books, among them the bestselling classics Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?; Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?; and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, are a testament to his ability to speak directly to children. Martin held a doctoral degree in early childhood education. Born in Kansas, he worked as an elementary-school principal in Chicago before moving to New York City, where he worked in publishing developing innovative reading programs for schools. After several years, he devoted himself full-time to writing his children's books. He lived in New York until 1993, when he moved to Texas. He lived in the east Texas woods, near the town of Commerce, until he passed away in 2004.
Eric Carle is one of America's leading children's book illustrators. In addition to the classic children's books he created with Bill Martin, Jr., he is author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We have a handful of hosted servers running RHEL4 and RHEL5 and would like to backup some key folders (I'm thinking /var /srv and /etc) to a local server we have in house.
The local server is running Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition.
I'm looking for a free (preferably OSS) way to grab (or push) incremental backups to my local server and once a month or so, make a new snapshot for incremental updates in between snapshots.
Also, while I'm comfortable with using a command line, others may need to use the system in the future, and I would like some kind of graphical or web interface to browse the backup repository.

Five quick observations from the Thunder's 128-122 loss in Phoenix
The Suns shrugged off the Thunder on Thursday night, completing a wild 128-122 comeback win in Phoenix. Here are five quick observations on the shootout:
1. Defensive issues - Part of this loss can be chalked up to the unsustainable shot-making from Phoenix. That was an incredible display. A career-high 41 points from Gerald Green. Thirty-nine from the Morris twins off the bench. Eleven third quarter threes for the Suns, 15-for-27 on the game. These two teams could play 10 more times and the Suns wouldn't shoot this well in one of them. But that said, there was clearly some porous perimeter defense from the Thunder. Too many open shots, too many easy drive-by layups. It allowed Phoenix to gain a rhythm late in the third quarter and once they did, woof, did the Suns put on a show. Fun team.
By game, the Thunder has given up 103, 125, 114, 107, 99, 92 and 128 points since the All-Star break. That's 109.7 per game. That's not getting it done. Part of it, surely, is the absence of Kendrick Perkins and Thabo Sefolosha, two of the Thunder's best defenders. But a majority of it has been effort and energy. A want to that the Thunder has lacked on that end.
2. Russell Westbrook's presence - The only reason OKC had a shot in this game is because Russell Westbrook may have had one of the most impactful performances of his career. He was absolutely everywhere, right from the tip. His final stat-line: 36 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, four steals, a plus/minus of +16 in a game the Thunder lost by six. That last metric tells you the most. The Thunder was far worse with him off the court on Thursday night. When he subbed out mid-way through the third quarter — as part of his minutes restriction plan — Phoenix completely turned the game, outscoring OKC 31-12 before Westbrook would reenter.
He set the tone on the first play of the game:
3. Strange shot selection - As good as Westbrook was (and he was goooooood), he shot OKC out of it a little late. In the final two minutes, Westbrook missed three straight threes, with two of them the early in the shot clock pull-up variety. To that point, with a hot streak in progress, Westbrook probably felt he earned the right to take whatever shot he pleased. And he really had. But from a Thunder perspective, you'd still like to see higher-percentage looks.
4. Caron Butler, welcome to the show - Despite the loss, the Thunder got a pretty solid contribution from Caron Butler in his second game. He missed a batch of shots late, but overall went 4-of-8 from three and had 14 points. If he can make the deep ball that proficiently, he's gonna be playing a lot of minutes come playoff-time.
5. Thunder-Suns first round? - It'd be exciting for the fans, fun for the media, stat-filled for the players and, likely, ideal for the Thunder. Because that feels like a five-game series. Phoenix would likely steal one at home, with a shooting performance similar to what we saw tonight. But overall, OKC is far more talented and experienced for a Suns team that'd be experiencing its first playoffs together. Shoot Scott Brooks with some truth serum, ask him if he'd rather face Dirk and the Mavs, Gasol and Grizzlies, Curry and the Warriors or Goran and the Suns in round one. He's going Goran in a heartbeat. But that said, man are they fun to watch.
Quick hits
-Andre Roberson and Jeremy Lamb played the same amount of minutes tonight: 13. Not a good sign for Lamb, whose minutes continue to plummet (He did go 3-of-6 for seven points tonight, though).
-Matt Kemp was in the house
-San Antonio smoked the Heat in Miami, putting them only 0.5 games behind the Thunder, tied in the loss column. Western Conference standings update:
-This was not called a travel lol:

This edited text offers a thorough description of cytochemical and ultrastructural characteristics for a wide variety of leukemic conditions. The text is well organized, extremely well illustrated, and up-to-date. The index is excellent.
The various authors have correlated well their discussions of cytological findings with immunologic diagnosis. The book does not contain a separate section on the application of immunologic techniques to ultrastructural analysis.
The text is organized in disease units. It does not, however, include a single systematic review of the acute nonlymphoblastic leukemias, so as to make access to that body of information easy to obtain. On the other hand, there are outstanding descriptions of the other forms of leukemia, including the secondary leukemias, blast transformations, the acute lymphoblastic leukemias, prolymphoblastic leukemia, hairy-cell leukemia, megakaryocytic leukemia, and plasma cell and other leukemia.
This is a very useful test for hemopathologists and hematologists. It is well worth having in

Hi-Fi Academy visits WI Schools & Museums
Kristy and I started Hi-Fi Academy to establish an art-education resource for comic book creators. Recently Kristy and I were invited by legendary iPad artist, Susan Murtaugh, to visit Wisconsin for a week and share our knowledge for creating comic books with the iPad to students and aspiring artists. I wanted to share with you some of the highlights from our visit to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Center Stage
The first event was held in a large school auditorium where students from several Manitowoc area high schools and colleges arrived, some even being bussed in from further away. The energy was high as so many young people arrived to fill the available seats. We were introduced by Barb Bundy-Jost, then I started off demonstrating Autodesk SketchBook's pencil and guides features. I used these tools to create a rough sketch of C3P0 which drew applause from the audience (whew, drawing live is always nerve wracking). Kristy and I spent the next 90 minutes demonstrating pencilling, inking, and coloring comic book artwork with the iPad. The students had great questions and the room was buzzing with creative energy as we spoke about how they could get hands on and start creating their own comic artwork.
Gallery Gala
The second event took place the following day at the Rahr-West Art Museum, which is located within a beautiful old mansion. Before presenting Kristy and I received a private behind the scenes tour from Kathy Halla, being equally amazed at the mansion, the stunning collection of original artwork, and the display on Sputnik (a piece of the Russian satellite fell to Earth just outside the museum decades ago).
When it was time for the presentation Kristy and I were thrilled to see every seat filled and the museum staff busily bringing in more chairs to accommodate people. There were children, teens, and many adults in attendance. We were introduced by museum director Greg Vadney, then Kristy and I shared a few stories from a life working in comics. As I drew a rough sketch of Boba Fett with Autodesk SketchBook on the iPad the image was projected onto the large screen for all to see. We also spent some time showing attendees how to ink and color comics with the iPad and even had time to demonstrate some eye catching special effects. It was all over too quickly and the museum staff whisked Kristy and I down a back staircase to a special room that had been set-up for a meet-and-greet with fans.
The museum staff and volunteers did an amazing job with the food and decorations for the meet-and-greet. Kristy and I chatted with fans, signed comics, and reviewed portfolios until well past closing time. Every person we spoke with was friendly and enthusiastic about comic books and the arts in general. Plus, I met some talented artists and had a chance to see their work and talk with them about their future goals.
The third event was a chance for Kristy and I to work one-on-one with 15 students who were hand picked by their art instructors to attend. Each student was wearing a t-shirt featuring comic book or pop culture characters. Great to see so many Doctor Who and comic book fans! It's been a while since I've been in a high school and after sitting through the announcements, including the day's lunch menu, and standing for the Pledge of Allegiance (I still remember all the words), we got busy. The first project was for students to create a color scheme for a superhero. We spoke about color theory including primary colors, secondary colors, and more. Then we used a color wheel to see how complimentary colors, triad colors, and other color schemes might work. After each student designed their color scheme we worked on rendering the hero's face in color and learning how to add highlights and shadows to the major facial features.
The second project was creating an animation style color look for cartoon artwork. Using the iPad I demonstrated the texture brushes in Autodesk SketchBook while the students followed along. We created a snowy daytime scene with painted clouds in the sky and then spoke about other ways we could approach the art so each student could make it their own. As the students worked on their versions of the scene Kristy and I were able to spend several minutes with each student answering questions and helping them along. I also had the opportunity to review the portfolios and sketchbooks of several students and I think we will be seeing some incredible talent coming out of Wisconsin in the years to come. Thanks to art instructors Barb Bundy-Jost & Vicky Molitor for inviting us into the classroom.
Playing Tourist
Thanks to our hosts Phil, Susan, and Alex Murtaugh Kristy and I had the opportunity to visit several other museums and galleries between events. The Murtaugh's took the time to ensure we enjoyed the flavors of Wisconsin and were able to meet with local artists and craftspeople. Our visit would not have been possible without their hard work and generosity. It was an amazing experience I will never forget and I'm already making plans for our next trip to visit schools and museums in other states. Maybe we'll come to your town next!

What the Heck is a Gamut?
You've just finished coloring this amazing Superman cover and couldn't be more proud of your work. There's Sup's vibrant blue suit and his iconic bright red cape. Looks amazing on screen, right? You finished your work, saved it as a CMYK TIF and sent it off to your editor of approval and 15 minutes later your get a frantic email back saying the suit looks like mud and the cape is a weird, drab color and you may have to re-color the whole thing! Oh, and your deadline is 30 minutes from now. ZOIKS! What the heck happened!? It looked amazing while you were coloring it and now it looks terrible. Why did your colors get turned into mud? Because the colors you chose or created were outside the CMYK Gamut your computer converted them and the result was terrible.
I can see you staring blankly at the screen asking, "What the heck is a gamut?" Allow me to explain a little.
So let's start this by talking a little bit about the science of color. What we perceive as color is our brains interpreting different wavelengths of light emanating from, or bouncing off of, objects in space. If we look at the color spectrum we see that long wavelengths appear as red warm colors while shorter wavelengths appears a blue, cooler colors. As those wavelengths get longer (moving to the left on the chart) we move into infrared colors, microwaves and various other electrical waves. As they get shorter (moving to the right on the chart) we get into Xrays, Gamma rays (our favorite!!) and other harmful radiations.
What we can actually see, however, is just a very small portion of that spectrum which we call visible light.
If we pull out that visible portion of light, simplify it and twist it into a circle we get every artists BFF, the color wheel.
But if we take that entire spectrum of visible light and twist is into a circle we see what is called the visible color gamut. Keep in mind…this example you see here isn't ACTUALLY the full visible color gamut because you are looking at it on a computer screen which presents color to you in an RGB color space…but I'm getting ahead of myself.
This visible color gamut represents all variations of every visible color. So in this example the black arrow over the blue indicates every possible variation of the color blue. Very bright and intense colors exist at the outside edges of the circle while less intense, desaturated colors exist at the center. In order to make this a little easier for you to see, I'm going to replace our circle with one that has an exaggerated difference in saturation level from outside to the middle.
So nature produces an innumerable amount of wavelengths of light, most of which we can't see, but we create our artwork using technology that has yet to be able to reproduce all the colors of visible light. Specifically our computer monitors reproduce color in what is called the RGB Color space. This sort of bloated triangle shape over the visible color gamut indicates which colors are actually reproducible in the RGB Color Space. Using red, green and blue your monitor can recreate MOST of the colors in the visible light gamut, but not all. You'll notice that it has trouble with some of the more vibrant orange, teals and violet colors. This is why your photos of those gorgeous sunsets never look quite right. Your camera is translating those natural lights into RGB and a little something gets lost.
However, when our artwork is complete it has to go to print. Modern printing presses mix 4 inks (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black) to create "Full Color" your prints. As you can see the CMYK Color space is REALLY small compared to the RGB Color space and encompasses most of that drab, desaturated area in the middle of out circle.
You can really see the difference here when we lay the RGB and CMYK color spaces on the same graphic. By now you're probably asking, "what does this mean to me, the comic book colorist?" MOST colorists, including those of you using the Hi-Fi method, render their work in RGB so while we're working we have to always be aware that before each page is finalized it will have to be converted to CMYK.
When you color an image in RGB and the color you choose (or create inadvertently) falls outside of that CMYK color space it will have to be converted before it goes to press. Maybe I'll cover how your computer makes those decisions (Relative Colorimetric vs Perceptual conversions) in a later article but suffice it to say your computer will select each pixel containing color outside the CMYK color gamut and changes it to a color that it thinks best represents the original color.
Just a note: I have again exaggerated the colors in the following example so you can better see the way the colors change.
Let's take a look at your Superman from earlier and find out what happened. If we pull out the blue and red from the image and roughly plot them on the RGB color gamut you can see that they fall well outside of the CMYK gamut.
When you convert that file from RGB to CMYK your computer decides what those new colors should be.
Now instead of those nice bright colors…they are muted and kind of dead.
And if we look at them side-by-side you can really tell the difference in the color. So what can we learn from this exercise? First of all, when you're coloring try to avoid selecting colors that are TOO vibrant and over-saturated. That's your first clue that you may be heading down the path to conversion trouble later on. Also, make sure you are using the View/Proof Colors option in Photoshop. That will allow you to color in RGB but have a CMYK preview on your screen while you work. You'll immediately know if a color is going to end up looking gross.
At this point you're probably asking, "Well why don't we just skip this whole mess and color right in CMYK? Wouldn't that avoid this whole problem in the first place?"
Well, yeah…but it leads to some other issues that are not as easy to overcome than coloring in RGB but being mindful of a future need to convert. We color in RGB because that is how Photoshop was intended to work. It was designed as a digital space for creating and editing images and digital space means RGB. Because of this in CMYK there are a LOT of tools that aren't available to you at all. You will find that those tools that are available to you will give you a drab, gray-ish color when used in a CMYK color space instead of the rich, full colors you would get were you attempting the same process in RGB.
Also, your files can be SIGNIFICANTLY larger. These two files are the EXACT same PSD except one is RGB and the other is CMYK. The CMYK file is almost twice the size. So, yes…you could avoid all the RGB to CMYK conversion problems entirely by coloring straight in CMYK but at a cost of lack of tools, lower functionality of some of Photoshop's tools and potentially gargantuan file sizes.
ProTip: when coloring in RGB make sure you have the View/Proof Colors (Ctrl+Y) option active in Photoshop. This will allow you to color in RGB but see what the file will look like when it converts to CMYK. You'll know instantly if a color you are creating is going to look like mud.

On the NPR Shots blog, Scott Hensley writes, "Quality Prescription For Primary Care Doctors: Do Less," about an article in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Excerpt:
"A group of docs who want to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of primary care tinkered with some Top 5 lists for of dos and don'ts for pediatricians, family doctors and internists.
After testing them a bit, they published online by the Archives of Internal Medicine. Most of the advice falls in the category of less is more.
So what should family doctors not be doing? The Top 5 list for them goes like this:
1. No MRI or other imaging tests for low back pain, unless it has persisted longer than six weks or there are red flags, such as neurological problems.
2. No antibiotics for mild to moderate sinusitis, unless it has lasted a week or long. Or the condition worsens after first getting better.
3. No annual electrocardiograms for low-risk patients without cardiac symptoms.
4. No Pap tests in patients under 21, or women who've had hysterectomies for non-malignant disease.
5. No bone scans for women under 65 or men under 70, unless they have specific risk factors."
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Police in Washington state have detained two people in the murder of a Corvallis man whose body was found last month in a grove of trees. They are expected to be extradited to Oregon.
Two men already face charges.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times (http://bit.ly/pVEsdT ) reports that 26-year-old Douglas Hile was being held Wednesday in Mount Vernon, Wash., as a fugitive in the killing Sept. 6 of 22-year-old Giovanni Blancas-Frutero of Corvallis.
The paper said a woman, Katie Frye, also was held as a fugitive in the case, but no other information about her was available.
In Oregon, 29-year-old Santiago Mendez Flores is charged with murder, 19-year-old Jose Luis Brambila with weapons violations.
Court documents allege that Flores "either directly caused or aided in the murder" of Blancas-Frutero with Brambila and Hile.

A Micro Current Face Lift is what you achieve when using the Tua Viso System.
We help to keep your face wrinkle free without the costly surgeon and spa visits.
As you review our solution, please feel free to call one of our operators if you have any questions regarding the use of the Tua Viso Microcurrent Facelift system.
The extremely advanced miniaturized electronic circuitry of Tua Viso generates trains of modulated sinusoidal wave pulses which are specific for delicate facial muscles and indicated by a green LED. Thanks to their particular form and frequency, these waves induce precise muscular exercises without provoking any unpleasant pain, even at high intensity and with extremely evident movements. The intensity of the current produced is adjustable so either very delicate or very intense contractions can be obtained: such contractions are clearly visible and guide us during operation. What is more, their rhythm has been studied (3-second contractions and equally long intervals) to tone up as quickly as possible: scientific studies have shown that the stimulated muscle already becomes larger after about ten sessions each lasting a few minutes.
The electrodes are parts of fundamental importance, since it is by means of them that the pulses reach the skin.
Tua Viso has special patented VP BOX electrodes. The original spring-loaded domes covered in soft sponge enable practical positioning on any area of the face and delicate contact with the skin; moreover, their operation with water enables immediate use, as there is no need to use any special conductive gels. The VP BOX electrodes are self-moistening and also have their own reservoir containing enough water necessary for a complete treatment session; this avoids having to repeatedly wet the sponge domes; to wet them, just press.
The extractable bayonet-fit rings enable fast replacement of the sponge domes and easy cleaning of the reservoir.
Tua Viso exploits a high-frequency sinusoidal wave current (7500 Hz), which determines a very valid contraction before any troublesome sensation is felt. This way, the stimulation is effective and pleasant.

Modify an Existing Macro: MS Word
Sometimes after you have recorded a macro, you can't remember the name or it doesn't do exactly what you wanted it to do or you want another macro that is almost the same.
Luckily, all of these things can be taken care of. You can change an existing macro by changing its name, making a copy of it, deleting it or changing the actions of the macro.
Macros are recorded in a programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The VBA program can be changed to modify the action of the macro. The language may be confusing at first, but a closer look will show you that the code echoes the selections you made while recording the macro.
To delete a macro, follow the handy steps below:
- Choose Tools | Macro | Macros.
- Select the macro you wish to delete.
- Click Delete.
- Click Close.
You can make changes to an already existing macro by following the steps below:
- Choose Tools | Macro | Macros.
- Select the macro.
- Click Edit.
- Close the window.
The change is automatically saved.
Most often, it is easier to record the macro again from the beginning than modifying the Visual Basic code.
In my next article, I'll explain how to rename a macro and copy a macro.

I am glad to catch idea from your article. This looks absolutely perfect. All these tiny details are made with lot of background information. Keep up the great writing!
Wow. I'm really blown away and inspired by your work. The textures you got on the shell are really fantastic contrasted against the leaves. I almost get the feeling that the leaves may be truly a bit brittle, and your ability to convey this is truly amazing.

Skip to comments.Original 1906 San Francisco film (Awesome!)
Posted on 03/21/2010 1:08:05 PM PDT by Hildy
This is well worth viewing and filmed just 4 days before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
You'll appreciate the research that it took to date this film so be sure to read this first.....
Here's a neat opportunity to enjoy some time-travel. The film is from a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco, four days before the big earthquake/fire that destroyed the area. You can clearly see the clocktower at the end of the street at the Embarcadero wharf that's still there... The quality & detail is great, so be sure to view it full screen.
The film was originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing, to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall and shadows indicating the time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!), the film could be correctly dated.
It was filmed only four days before the quake and shipped by train to New York for processing. Amazing but true!
According to Wikipedia, traffic signal lights were not invented until 1912, and not common for some years later. Click below to watch:
Also on the same site you can view another such covering the same ground made in 2005
What??? No sound?
It's the day that Pelosi was born and GOD destroyed the mold.
Thanks. That was interesting.
I've seen it before and never get tired of it.
Thank you.
No Gay Pride parade that day.
Fascinating, for the near-anarchy that somehow functions. No traffic lights, no stop signs, no police directing traffic (one policeman is clearly seen, but he's doing nothing to control traffic). Horse-drawn vehicles, autos, street cars, pedestrians— all cutting each other off but somehow surviving.
Wow, thanks. Love the music, too.
That's how most cities in the third world still are.
That was great. Early autos, horse-drawn carriages, streetcars, and pedestrians (dressed almost exclusively in black) all staying out of each other's way, without street lights for assistance, with the greatest of ease and good cheer.
Some real character out there. Check out the big dude at the far right corner of the screen at the 1:16 mark. Very hip shades. Looks like Belushi in the Blues Brothers.
I saw this a few months ago. Still the coolest thing to watch.
I have found among my mothers things a photo album made by a cousin as he was stationed near S. F. during WWI. He went to the zoo. I wonder if it could also be dated? There are a couple of shots of the military camp and parade grounds.
Thanks, no road signs or lines telling people where to drive, yet everyone seems to be humming along just fine! Horses and cars! LOL thanks.
Thank you, that is simply awesome. But they were crazy drivers!
El Presidente
Chavez MAO-bama!
That was very cool. Thanks for posting.
Amazing there were that many cars outnumber the horses in 1906.
What a great picture of a slice of urban life at that time.
I did. I worked in the city in the late 1970s and I thought it a zoo then. This film just reinforced my observation.
At least the 1906 ers dressed better.
Ont thing that struck me is how few women are seen in this film. I suppose most women stayed at home those days except for very special occasions. (Of course, women would be handicapped somewhat trying to dodge everything in the clothes they wore—LOL!)
Wow! Thanks! Amazing - so much history and so many events have transpired since then. They were blissfully unaware of the fate that soon awaited them in just a few days.
What a great city it was...thriving and active with everyday city life. What an amazing view of reality this is. The emergence of the automobile, the trolley, the lack of traffic control, the fashions of the day, the street activity, the reactions of those seeing the camera .....amazing.
I think these San Franciscans would be mortified to know the connotation their great city has these days.
NO INCOME TAX! Miniscule government.
Do you happen to know what section of Market Street this goes down?
My grandmother lived on the corner of Powell and Market in 1906.
I've been reading a novel which takes place right before the 1906 earthquake. It's really cool to see this.
It was groovy!
I did enjoy that. And I didn't see any road rage even with all that confusion.
Most, but not all, of the cars seen have license plates. This implies some type of DMV, even at that early date. Horrors!
I don't know San Francisco at all...however the email did say that there is a video of the same section of the City in 2005 on the website. Good luck!
This was way before the City became a mecca for that kind of thing. In those days, my great-great grandfather had just finishing up a career as a paving contractor in SF. His son (my great grandpop) had passed away two years earlier (the same heart stuff that I have) and had a career in major-league baseball and later, his own shipping business. His son, my grandfather, was a young man of fourteen and probably living across the bay from there in San Rafael.
Some of the people in that clip may be direct relatives of mine. :-)
Some of the people in that clip may be direct relatives of mine. :-)
Wow, great story.
Amazing bit of visual history. Everyone in the entire video (men & women) wore a hat. I would describe the traffic as fairly well organized chaos. Thank you for posting this Hildy.
