SANDY, UT -- (Marketwired) -- 08/14/14 -- Opengear (www.opengear.com), a leading provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products, today announced that Interactive Motion Technologies has successfully deployed Opengear's remote management gateways to each of its internationally-located InMotion neurorehabilitation robots. Using Opengear's solution, Interactive Motion has been able to perform remote maintenance of robots in hospitals all over the world from the company's headquarters in Boston.
The results of using Opengear's cellular-connected remote management have been transformative: service calls can now be completed from the Boston office, and minor robot updates no longer require a tech to travel and be on-site, rendering what had been huge cost and time expenditures associated with travel for minor updates unnecessary. Interactive Motion is currently investigating additional opportunities to integrate Opengear's solution as a part of their product.
Interactive Motion selected the Opengear ACM5004-G-E for maintaining the systems of InMotion robots worldwide via secure cellular out-of-band connections. InMotion robots have been at use in hospitals around the world for over a decade, with some models still running on legacy versions of Ubuntu or Red Hat Linux. These systems are not on the Internet or even local Ethernets, are out of date with security patches, and cannot be connected to hospital networks. Because the connection Opengear uses is not Internet-based but done via cellular out-of-band -- and because Opengear's gateway provides secure tunneling -- the security of the older systems in use is protected. Additionally, the value added by a low cost gateway and $20/month cell service means Opengear's solution easily pays for itself by saving technician time and travel costs.
"It's exciting to see Opengear technology deployed in a way that not only saves a business time and money, but also gets to play a role in helping rehabilitate stroke patients via the extraordinary InMotion robot," said Todd Rychecky, VP Sales Americas, Opengear. "On the business side, the trouble and costs of traveling internationally for trivial maintenance issues are exactly the kind of burden our cellular out-of-band gateways with secure tunneling are designed to solve. All Interactive Motion had to do was ship the gateways with instructions to plug them in. Now, the ACM5004-G-E makes it so their technicians can access the robots from home, and they're doing nine out of every ten service calls with no travel required."
InMotion robot-assisted therapy helps moderate to severe stroke patients reacquire and improve motor skills in impaired upper limbs. Leveraging the brain's incredible neuroplasticity, an InMotion robot will guide a patient's arm through a range of motions, assisting the movements as needed. These motions cause the brain to rewire its neurons, and relearn how to control the body. The robot takes the patient's own movements as feedback, tapering off its assistance as the patient's brain learns and regains motor control. In this way, InMotion robots take patients from an utterly passive role to an active role, so that by the end of therapy the robot is adding zero assistance.
In the practice of ensuring that these robots stayed fully functional, maintenance issues would arise. Hard drives would fail, or researchers would ask for new customized features. To maintain these systems, technicians would travel out to the sites. In some cases, this meant a $5,000+ expense and overseas travel to delete a single character in a code string: a simple three-minute job if they had remote access. Now with Opengear, they do.
"We call the Opengear product 'a @#$*ing miracle!'" said Dr. Daniel M. Drucker, Scientist at Interactive Motion. "It feels like magic. The idea that I have this robot I've helped to make, and I expected I'd never be able to connect to again unless I traveled to where it is and typed on the console; suddenly I'm able to take this box, ship it and have them plug it in. And now I'm here in Boston, type a couple commands, and a minute later I'm connected and able to issue commands on this robot. And it's going over the global cell network."
For Interactive Motion and the hospitals and patients using their robots, Opengear's remote management solution improves operational efficiency and reduces mean time to repair. Rapid robot repairs mean patients are not left waiting. Researchers asking for special experiments and features can have those delivered quickly and remotely. Technical staff can better invest their time where it's most valuable: developing technology to serve patients.

The Colombia-based company is hunting "one to three US oil and gas projects" this year alone, with the first acquisition set to be made in the third quarter.
Chief executive Robert Gates said: "Our current plans call for First Colombia to acquire a pipeline of oil and gas projects."
A company statement continued: "Our business strategy is to acquire energy interests via a 'roll-up' strategy targeting potential and producing wells and distribution that can be improved utilising modern technology and capital infusion for expanding or re-initiating production."
It is not just the US that the company is hunting oil and gas assets, as it looks for suitable projects in its international portfolio.
First Colombia also intends to complete the evaluation of European alternative energy projects this year and to make a decision on an initial project in that time. It is currently conducting due diligence on alternative energy projects in south-eastern Europe, thought to be Croatia.
First Colombia is focused on buying and developing natural resource, energy and real estate projects in the North America, Europe and South America.

Lotus change from Renault to Mercedes not straightforward
Toto Wolff Lotus' switch to Mercedes power for 2015 may be hitting a snag, as recently as Sunday, the end of the struggling Enstone based team's Renault deal seemed a mere formality. It was believed the deal would be confirmed imminently, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff told Sky at Silverstone: 'I can't confirm it yet.' 'But there are hurdles on the way to a contract,' Michael Schmidt, the respected correspondent for Auto Motor und Sport, reports. 'Lotus is bound to Renault in the medium term. And the French do not want to release their customer from its obligations so easily,' he explained, adding that the potential loss of revenue to Renault is at least 20 million.

Google will extend the Right to be Forgotten to Google.com
Suit e-laws!
SEARCH AND ADVERTISING COMPANY Google has bowed to pressure and will extend the Right to be Forgotten ruling to Google.com if the browser is in the European Union.
This is a change that many will see as overdue. Google has often been asked to go the whole hog on the ruling, but has not quite been forced to change it.
A report on The Guardian suggested that Google has acted of its own volition. We are a bit sketchy on the details as Google has yet to make a statement of its own. UK data watchdog the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) ought to know what is going on so we asked.
"The ICO is aware that Google has proposed changing the way it carries out the delisting of search results. This revised approach would appear to address the concerns previously set out by the ICO on the scope of the requirement to delist," the regulator said in a statement.
This is slightly hard to swallow. We never really expected Google to bend like this, as the firm gave it the big nay nay in the halcyon days of last summer.
"The Right to be Forgotten may now be the law in Europe, but it is not the law globally. We believe that no one country should have the authority to control what content someone in a second country can access," said Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, at the time.
"We have worked hard to strike the right balance in our implementation of the European court's ruling. We are committed to continuing to work with regulators in this open and transparent way."
Things change, though, and people move on. Google must have softened its stance after repeated calls from outfits like France's CNIL, a privacy watchdog that has repeatedly asked for a bit more égalité on the Right to be Forgotten. µ

'Iran must coordinate water use from River Araz with Azerbaijan'
21 November 2012 [15:46] -
If Iran wants to use water from the River Araz to fill drought stricken Lake Urmia, it must coordinate this issue with Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Bagirov said today.
"The decision on this issue can only be taken on the basis of the existing agreements," the minister told the media today.
He said that there is agreement on the joint use of the River Araz by Azerbaijan and Iran.
"If the Iranian side officially appeals to us, all aspects of the issue, not only from the environmental, but also political, economic and other aspects may be thoroughly analysed.
"The agreements signed between Azerbaijan and Iran have determined the environmental norms and water volumes that can be used by the parties, as well as which equipment and facilities can be established and built on this river, "he said.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has allocated $135 million to Iran to resolve its environmental problems with shoaling at Lake Urmia. The Iranian government allocated $900 million for this purpose in September 2011.
A project to direct 600 million cubic meters of water from the River Araz into Lake Urmia was launched during a visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and members of the government to Tabriz in 2010. It was planned to allocate $1.2 billion to implement this project.

A Millard County sheriff's deputy has been killed in an ATV crash at the Little Sahara Sand Dunes, authorities said.
Paul Robison, 57, was riding with his wife on Saturday in the Sand Mountain area when the ATV overturned and landed on top of them, pinning him between a tree and the ATV, the Juab County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Monday.
Paramedics responded to the remote site but were unable to revive him.
"According to witnesses, Mr. Robison was unresponsive," Juab County Sheriff Alden Orme wrote.
Robison's body has been taken to the state medical examiner for an autopsy.
"A preliminary report from the Medical Examiner's Office indicated a medical condition might have contributed to his death," Orme said.
"It's a loss to us," said Millard County Sheriff Robert Dekker. "He's a good friend and a good brother in law enforcement."
Robison was at one time an FBI fingerprint technician and worked in the Alaska state crime lab but moved to Kanosh in 1991 to raise his family, Dekker said. He was a sergeant in the corrections division, working at the Millard County Jail. He had announced his retirement effective in August, the sheriff said.
"He and his wife were going to be doing a little bit of traveling," Dekker said, adding that Robison leaves behind a wife and two children.
Robison's death was one in a series of ATV-related accidents across the state over the weekend. In Garfield County, a woman was killed in a crash.
Deputies said Juliejo Ann Jackson, 32, of Cedar City, was killed while riding an ATV on Sunday on the Cooper Peak trail near Panguitch Lake. Deputies said she was turkey hunting with her husband on a rough, rocky part of the trail when her husband lost control and the ATV overturned on them. She was not wearing a helmet, and emergency crews were unable to revive her, the Garfield County Sheriff's Office said.
"With the ATV season upon us, it is crucial that those who are riding ATVs wear a helmet at all times. The tragedy (Sunday) at Cooper Peak is a haunting reminder of what can happen when someone does not wear their helmet," Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins said. "We strongly encourage all who enjoy the out of doors in our county on their ATVs to please wear your safety helmet and also obey all traffic rules."
Juab County sheriff's deputies responded Sunday to a crash at the sand dunes where a 30-year-old Spanish Fork woman broke both of her legs. She was flown by medical helicopter to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, where she was last reported to be in stable condition.

20th Jul. 2011 ::
Is the James Webb Space Telescope Worth It
Since my last update on the current status of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), I've seen a few critical comments about the cost. One Tweet (that I won't link to) suggested that at $4billion spent, the James Webb must now die.
Now, there is no doubt that $4billion is a lot of money in the real world by just about any comparison; but the trouble is that you can't look at it in isolation. Federal and governmental budgets aren't like personal or household budgets; you can't make a comparison to say, skipping a meal out or two to save for a new flat screen TV. You have to look at $4billion in depth, you need experienced people to comb through budgets like that, you need oversight and you need analysis. You really need to understand what it is that you're getting for your money...
A critical Twitter post contributes nothing to such a debate other than a somewhat mindless personal assertion.
Lets look at a few facts. A Nimitz-class aircraft carrier costs about $4.5billion to build
, the United States has 10, so that's $45billion. Due to a design flaw, ships of this class have inherent lists to starboard when under certain combat loads that exceed the capability of their list control systems. This is a pretty fundamental flaw - their list control systems are simply not adequate for the job.
So, are these carriers worth $4.5billion each? No is the answer, they are not. Not if you look at them as the flawed machines that they are. Flawed machines that will achieve nothing but occasional death and destruction. And where is the benefit to humanity as a whole? But lets put it another way - is the defence of the United States, and her allies by means of global naval and air power supremacy, pretty much anywhere in the world within 48 hours worth $45billion? Well, yes it probably is. That's just $150 per man, woman and child in the United States for a guarantee as strong as you could possibly ask for, that the continental United States will not come under air or naval attack from any foreign government or army while these carriers are operational. Safety and security for $150 each.
So by comparison is the JWST worth the $3billion
that the US tax payer has so far shelled out? In fact, lets assume that it costs $6billion at completion - is the JWST worth $6billion
to the US tax payer? Well, no - not if you look at it as just a telescope - a machine for looking at stuff that is far away.
But, like the Nimitz - that's not the correct way to look at the JWST, because that's not what the James Webb is...
The JWST is our eye on the Universe, it's our eye on the past, and it's our key to further understanding the world in which we live. It's fascination, it's wonder, it's an interest in what's out there. It's the pathway to the advancement of science and astronomy for 20 years. It will drive adults and our children alike to open their eyes just a little bit wider.
It's facts and data for thousands of excited students and scientists who will grow, and build careers on the results. It's food for philosophers, it's a tantalising trail of evidence for astro-biologists. It's the Big Bang, it's early galaxy formation, it's exoplanets, it's planetary formation. It could be the answer to the really big question; "Is there life out there?". It's beautiful images and posters for our bedroom walls. It's pride, it's achievement and it's the courage to do things because they are hard.
And what is the cost? The cost of all this? $20. $20 per man woman and child in the United States
. How is it possible to receive all that for $20, and to call it "not worth it"?
[1] Wikipedia:
Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier
[2] $3billion at time of writing - with $1billion contributed by international partners.
[3] By means of comparison to another scientific project the
has total budget of us$9billion.
[4] In 2009 the US Census quoted a population of 307,006,550, so in fact the cost is less than $20 each ($19.54).

Annndddd...Now The 4th Circuit Court Of Appeals Upholds IRS ObamaCare Rule That DC Court Struck Down This Morning
Gotta try and keep up.
Unlike the DC circuit the 4th circuit is all about "context", the plain meaning of words be damned.
This sheds some light on why the administration is going to seek an en banc hearing at the stacked DC circuit. One thing the Supreme Court takes into consideration when deciding to take cases is whether or not there's a split in how various circuits are treating an issue. Right now there's a split but if they go en banc at the DC circuit and the heavily Democratic full court overturns the panel's decision that eliminates the split and could give SCOTUS an out on taking this issue on.
Four justices have to vote in favor of hearing a case before the Supreme Court will hear it. You'd think the four dissenters in the National Federation of Independent Businesses case would vote to have another go at it or they (read here. "Anthony Kennedy") might take the out and avoid having to go down the path of throwing out ObamaCare now that it's been implemented.
*Note to clear something up people are confused about in the comments...these cases were filed, argued, and decided independently. It's just a coincidence the decisions were released within hours of one another.

US-headquartered LiqTech International says it has has received a new $450,000 order for Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) from Emigreen B.V. Netherland, a firm that is expert in the emission control of industrial combustion engines.
By integrating LiqTech's DPF products with the generator/engine set, 99.98% of soot particulates can be removed.
LiqTech explain that environmental regulations are expected to get tougher with more rigorous enforcement in the future and the luxury boat market segment has recognized that it needs to operate in an environmentally friendly way if they wish to call on any port in the world. Generators on luxury-class super-yachts or mega-yachts are driven by efficient diesel engines, but they still create an appreciable amount of soot and NOx gasses that are both a pollutant in harbors as well as dangerous to people's health.
Mr. Finn Helmer, CEO of LiqTech, noted, "We believe the potential in this segment is very large and we look forward to working with Emigreen B.V. to significantly expand the revenue opportunities for both companies."
About LiqTech International
LiqTech International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a clean technology company that for more than a decade has developed and provided state-of-the-art technologies for gas and liquid purification using ceramic silicon carbide filters, particularly highly specialized filters for the control of soot exhaust particles from diesel engines and for liquid filtration.

Deep Inside the Dream Factory: Memo Wars Between Hal Wallis and Michael Curtiz
Posted by Susan Doll on March 21, 2016
Recently, while researching the production histories of specific Golden Age movies, I came across several dusty books from the back of my bookshelves. Evidently, I did not think they would be of much use to me. Purchased second-hand, they are a bit worse for wear. The books contain internal memos by producers and other behind-the-scenes personnel at the major Hollywood studios during the Golden Age, including Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and Selzick's International Pictures. What a treasure! The memos offer juicy tidbits about the daily operations of the Hollywood industry during that magic time known as the Golden Age. This week, I thought I would share a few memos from Warner Bros. between executive producer Hal Wallis and director Michael Curtiz, because I found them enlightening.
According to Rudy Behlmer, who compiled Inside Warner Bros. 1935 – 1951, there aren't a lot of studio papers prior to 1935. But, there are certainly a lot of memos afterward, partly because Wallis liked to flood his staff with notes and suggestions and partly because of studio policy. Printed at the bottom of the Warner Bros. interoffice stationary was the reminder: "Verbal messages cause misunderstanding and delays (please put them in writing)."
Kid Stuff: My Little Loves (1974)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on March 15, 2016
Jean Eustache's My Little Loves (1974) is about a boy. Twelve-year-old Daniel climbs trees, flirts with girls, and punches classmates in the stomach. He is poised between youth and adolescence, and the film seeks to capture all the moments, and all the silences, of this befuddling transition. After Eustache's coruscating The Mother and the Whore (1973), a logorrheic portrait of post-May '68 despair, My Little Loves seems startlingly quiet and gentle. But each are after a kind of completism, of leaving nothing out. Discussing My Little Loves, Eustache told his fellow filmmaker, and Cahiers du Cinema habitue, Luc Moullet, that he wanted "to reconstruct [my] childhood: every wall section, every tree, every light pole." With the help of cinematographer Nestor Almendros, All My Loves becomes a sensorial memory object. There isn't much of a narrative – it drifts – but it builds up the fabric and texture of Eustache's childhood in the small rural town of Pessac (outside of Bordeaux), and the industrial city of Narbonnes, on the Mediterranean coast. My Little Loves is screening on 35mm in the Metrograph's Jean Eustache series, one of the inaugural programs for this ambitious new theater on NYC's Lower East Side.
Lust for Life: "You Look Too Fast"
Posted by Susan Doll on March 14, 2016
Each Monday evening during the month of March, TCM celebrates "Art and Artists" by airing 18 movies about painters and sculptors. The most diverse films are those based on fictional artists or paintings, including everything from the horror classic The Mystery of the Wax Museum (March 21, 1:15am EST) to the comedy The Art of Love (March 28, 8:00pm EST). The series also spotlights dramatic biopics based on real-life artists, including tonight's selection: Lust for Life, El Greco, Rembrandt, and Andrei Rublev.
With a background in art history, I am an unabashed fan of artist biopics, even though most of them are not really about the art. Directed by Alexander Korda in 1936, Rembrandt is an exercise in "good taste" as typified by big-budget British productions of that era. Charles Laughton as Rembrandt is given numerous opportunities to show off his gifts at dramatic recitation in a story that is mostly about enduring personal loss. El Greco, a TCM premiere, is a little-known Italian production with international star Mel Ferrer in the title role. The film posits El Greco as the outsider artist who butts heads with the closed minds of the Inquisition. The contributions of composer Ennio Morricone and set decorator Dante Ferretti, who would later team with Martin Scorsese, make this film worthwhile viewing. Of the four, Andrei Rublev by Russian auteur Andrei Tarkovsky is the most unconventional and the most cinematic. Tarkovsky eschewed a linear, cause-and-effect biographical structure in favor of experimental black-and-white imagery and a stripped down narrative in which little is explained but much is felt.
The Winner Is. . . . The Lady Vanishes
Posted by Susan Doll on March 7, 2016
A few weeks ago, I solicited help from the Morlocks' readers in deciding which early Hitchcock film to show in my advanced film history class. After weighing the suggestions and reading the comments, I chose The Lady Vanishes, the story of a British spy returning from a Balkan dictatorship with coded information important for England's safety. Dame May Whitty stars as spry Miss Froy, who pretends to be a governess but is actually a capable secret agent. After she disappears while aboard the train bound for England, no one seems to remember her except for Iris, the young woman sharing her compartment. Was Miss Froy only a figment of her imagination?
Before asking for advice, I was leaning toward showing Sabotage because of the surprising scene in which tiny Sylvia Sidney wields a large carving knife. Also, I thought the creative use of the Disney cartoon Who Killed Cock Robin might be interesting to the animation majors. But I am glad that I changed my mind because it was clear that the class thoroughly enjoyed The Lady Vanishes. As one student noted, "This film is brilliant."
In each of my classes, students fill out response sheets while watching the films. It's a learning tool that forces them to be active viewers so they are better able to notice visual techniques, themes, or character types. With their permission, I thought I would share a few of their comments about The Lady Vanishes.
The limited setting received a lot of attention, particularly the idea that Hitchcock could squeeze so much action and suspense from what is essentially two main sets. The first third of The Lady Vanishes takes place in a small crowded hotel; one student remarked that the film seemed claustrophobic right from the beginning. She noted, "The environment seems just slightly too small for everything that is going on," which intentionally enhances the claustrophobia. The characters fought over rooms, dined in tiny booths in a cramped restaurant, and hosted local dancers who clogged away in the confined space of the rooms. The train proved to be an even more limited setting, with the action intensifying into fights, chases, and kidnappings. Another student suggested that the train was like a microcosm of society, with all manner of characters interacting with each other. She felt that Iris entered this environ and experienced a life-altering adventure that was also a journey of self-discovery.
The suspense thriller is a genre that is no longer popular, so students are not always sure what constitutes suspense. I related Hitchcock's adage about the bomb in the room. He always maintained that if he began a scene by showing the audience a bomb in the room and then clearly depicted where the bomb was in relationship to the characters, he would have the audience's rapt attention for ten minutes. But, if he exploded the bomb as a surprise to the audience, they might be shocked out of their seats but he would have their attention for only ten seconds. Students rightly noticed examples of this technique in the scene in which we wait for Iris to notice the name "Froy" written on the window and during the scene in which Iris and Gilbert are about to ingest a spiked drink. The anticipation in both scenes created true suspense, and I think students came away with a better understanding of what that is.
The class seemed intrigued by the characters of Caldicott and Charters, the two cricket-obsessed friends who maintain their stiff upper lips no matter the situation. The students were surprised to learn that the pair proved to be so popular that they were featured in three later movies, Night Train to Munich, Crook's Tour, and Millions Like Us. More than one wondered if the two were supposed to be gay, a logical assumption considering their depiction in the tiny hotel room. A perceptive student inquired if the two might be patterned after vaudeville archetypes of the day. Charters—or maybe it was Caldicott—got a big laugh from the class when he was shot in the hand but barely winced, keeping his stiff upper lip intact. We were charmed in the end when the two turn out to be courageous in the final gunfight with the pseudo-Nazis.
Several students found Iris's ambivalence toward marriage amusing and fascinating. Iris leaves her friends to return to England to get married. She laments, "I've no regrets. I've been everywhere and done everything. I've eaten caviar at Cannes, sausage rolls at the dogs. I've played baccarat at Biarritz and darts with the rural dean. What is there left for me but marriage?" Later in the conversation, she complains about being an offering sacrificed on the altar of the church where she will be married. Some students suggested that the narrative had more to do with Iris's internal conflict over marriage than it did with the spies' goals; others noted a subtle condemnation of marriage as an institution that will clip the wings of those who say, "I do."
A few students remarked about Hitchcock in general. Many were intrigued that deeper themes and meanings could be found beneath the entertaining surfaces of his films. Others revealed an appreciation for the director's craftsmanship. For example: "It's interesting that most films today have the shaky camera but Hitchcock's methods work better."
I had mentioned that Hitchcock was not considered an artist for most of his career; likewise, his films were not taken seriously until the members of the French New Wave sang his praises. This prompted one of my favorite observations: "It's interesting that Hitchcock was underappreciated and that people didn't get the meaning of his work. Usually that means that their work isn't successful in its message, just like a painting or drawing. I think here it means that he was too good for his time and the people in that time."
I find that those of us who love classic movies see their artistry and understand their cultural significance, but more importantly we realize that they carry an emotional impact that films from other eras simply can't duplicate. We want younger generations to share in that experience, to understand the heart that these films can display. More often than not, conversations among film teachers do not focus on rare bits of history or esoteric discussions of subtext. Most of the time, we want to know: What did you show in class? How did it go over? There is an excitement when classic films are well received—like a victory for our common cause. I am gratified that The Lady Vanishes achieved such a victory and ever proud of my talented, perceptive students.
The Film of Turin
Posted by Pablo Kjolseth on March 6, 2016
Today's scheduled post has been derailed by a recent conversation between Marc Maron and William Friedkin that I can't get out of my mind. It's a two-and-a-half-hour long talk that made me want to revisit the films of Billy Wilder (Ninotchka), John Huston (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), as well as many of Friedkin's films. The notable director behind The French Connection, The Exorcist, and Sorcerer, to name only my three favorites of his from the seventies, was himself enthralled by the magic of movies thanks to a visit to the Surf Theatre in Chicago circa 1956. The Surf Theatre was an arthouse revival venue that screened Citizen Kane on its 15th anniversary. Friedkin watched Citizen Kane several times on that one day, and it opened the doors to him for the works of Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, the French New Wave, Akira Kurosawa, and the early works of Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, and Stanley Kubrick, to name only a few. Flashforward less than 20 years later and that same young man would bump Kubrick as the first choice director for a hot studio property called The Exorcist. [...MORE]
Happy Birthday William Wellman
Posted by Susan Doll on February 29, 2016
Director William Wellman was born on this day, February 29, in 1896. That would make today his 120th birthday, or his 30th, depending on your feelings regarding leap year. Nicknamed Wild Bill because of his adventurous days as a pilot for the Lafayette Flying Corps during WWI, Wellman led one of those audacious lives that makes for good storytellers. Wellman's medium of choice for telling stories was the Hollywood film. Movie fans can celebrate Wild Bill's birthday this week on TCM by watching three of his best-known films: Battleground (March 1, 10:00am, EST), Wild Boys of the Road (March 3, 5:00am, EST), and The Public Enemy (March 3, 8:30am, EST).
Though infamous for browbeating his actors and intimidating his actresses, Wellman is justly famous for his male-dominated action movies (The Public Enemy), adventures about men in adversity (Wings), or stories about the interaction of men within a group (The Ox-Bow Incident, The Story of G.I. Joe, Battleground). However, I prefer Wellman's early melodramas featuring female protagonists who are down on their luck, down and out, or just down on love. Usually, these melodramas are not discussed as part of Wellman's body of work; they are most often considered and assessed as pre-Code films.
Notes on Hitchcock
Posted by Susan Doll on February 22, 2016
Next week, I begin a section on Hitchcock in my advanced film history course. Though I have taught Hitchcock many, many times in my career, I am challenging myself to come up with new approaches to the material, so I am re-reading existing books and reviewing new materials. Along the way, I stumbled across several interesting Hitchcock tidbits and quotes that I wanted to share.
1 Foreign Correspondent airs tonight on TCM (February 22) at midnight EST, so my first fun fact is in honor of this taut little spy thriller with a terrific cast, including Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, George Sanders, Herbert Marshall, and Edmund Gwenn. One of the film's most famous sequences occurs at a Dutch windmill. Mills are featured as locations in two other Hitchcock films, Young and Innocent and The Manxman, though these are grain mills with turning water-wheels rather than rotating blades. In German Expressionism, twirling, spinning, or spiraling motions have a threatening connotation, sometimes symbolizing the swirling chaos in the mind of a madman, or the destructive force of a society gone mad. Hitchcock directed his first two films in Germany and was heavily influenced by Expressionism. The spinning of the merry-go-round in Strangers on a Train also falls into this category.
Accused: The Wrong Man (1957)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on February 9, 2016
The Wrong Man was promoted as Alfred Hitchcock's first film based on a true story, and the director went to great lengths to secure its authenticity. To shoot the story of Manny Balestrero, who was falsely accused of robbing a life insurance company, Hitchcock shot the film on location in NYC, and cast supporting parts with many of the actual participants in the case. The movie strives for "reality", and much of it plays as a heightened kind of docudrama, focused through Balestrero's POV as he is arrested, processed, and put to trial. Manny's world of Manhattan night clubs and his Jackson Heights home shrinks to the space between his shoes on the ground of his jail cell, seen with impressive clarity on the new Warner Archive Blu-ray. Manny's resemblance to a hold-up artist has undone the life he had built over forty-three years, as his wife suffers a nervous breakdown from the stress. For no reason at all, a void has opened up and swallowed him whole.
Knocked Up: Susan Slade (1961)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on January 26, 2016
In 1958 Delmer Daves suffered a heart attack, forcing him out of the Wild West and into the boudoir. Instructed by his doctors to avoid physically taxing Western location shoots, he embarked on a series of lurid melodramas starring poseable Ken doll Troy Donahue. Donahue's unthreatening blonde-haired blue-eyed good looks made him the heartthrob of choice from 1959 – 1962, when he made A Summer Place, Parrish, Susan Slade and Rome Adventure with Daves, all of which were box office hits and critical failures (the latter three are available on DVD in WB's Romance Classics box set, while A Summer Place is out on its own). They are films about sex that treat it as an inevitable result of adolescence, not as a threat to be avoided, and teenagers of the time must have appreciated this honesty, along with the vibrant Technicolor photography capturing the dewy Donahue/Sandra Dee/Connie Stevens. And if you were going to have an illegitimate baby, the gentle Donahue would be the father of choice. I added a poster of Susan Slade to my Facebook page, and immediately one of my friend's mothers commented, "I was in love with Troy Donahue." These are movies that are weighted with sense memories for people of a certain age, and they are ripe for reevaluation.
Critics have prioritized Daves' war films (Pride of the Marines) and Westerns (3:10 to Yuma, Jubal), but these disreputable melodramas are equally representative of his talents, trading Western vistas for suburban split-levels. Dave Kehr wrote in the New York Times that, "the virtues of Daves's late romances are essentially the same as those of his adventure films: characters composed with the utmost integrity and respect; a gift for creating a detailed and convincing social background; and a strong, clear narrative style that allowed him to manage a large cast of characters and several simultaneous levels of dramatic events." I have previously written about A Summer Place, but today I am going to discuss Susan Slade, a remarkably strange romance in which Connie Stevens, with the aid of her permissive parents, hides her unwanted pregnancy from the world, and then falls in love with the intellectual-novelist-stable boy Donahue, from whom she hides the truth. The film throws up any number of improbable barriers to their union, from a Guatemalan coal mine to an ill-fated cigarette lighter. Their union is impossible, until it isn't.
Early Hitchcock: Which Would You Select?
Posted by Susan Doll on January 25, 2016
Once again, I am teaching a section on Hitchcock to my advanced film history course. I told the students that we would study one filmmaker this semester, and I let them choose a director from a short list. The students selected Hitchcock, which was also the choice last year. The Hitchcock section consists of four films, one from his early period in England and three from his Hollywood career. I am letting the students pick the director's Hollywood-produced movies, but I will start out with a film from his early period when he was England's best and brightest director. Ay, there's the rub. I can't seem to decide which early Hitchcock to show.
Last summer, I was undecided about whether to show Night Moves or The Long Goodbye in my film noir course. I put the choice to the knowledgeable Morlocks readers, and based on your helpful input, I decided on The Long Goodbye. So, I thought I would ask for your educated opinions once more.

Hi all, I am so frustrated
I am ready to give up on the WW stuff. I have been doing it for FOUR weeks, writing down everything that touches my lips, an average of 1600 cal a day, 3 liters of water (it is hot where I live), and I have not lost ANYTHING!
I have always done low carb diets in the past and always gained the weight back. So i was encouraged to do WW as it would allow me to eat what I like but teach me portion control,not be so hard on my kidneys/liver, blah blah blah. Well it isn't working and I am ready to pack it in and go back to what works even if I do eventually gain some back.
I was actually enjoying the WW plan, but obviously there is no way I am sticking with it if I don't drop any weight!
If anyone has any insight about my plight, please drop a line! Any advice or hints would be appreciated.

Alcohol will make you retain fluid which could slow down your weight loss. It also looks like you eat a lot of cheese. I would suggest reducing both of those for 1 week and see if you notice a difference. Eat more veggies and salads to fill yourself up so that you are not so hungry at meal time.

Your calorie intake in spite of the alcohol looks good. But I see where your problem is- you need to start exercising. A low-calorie diet can be undermined by lack of exercise because your metabolism slows down. But as healthy as the foods are that you're eating, and as low as your calorie intake is, I'm sure that if you at least go for a brisk walk for at least 30 mins, at least 5 days/wk., that you will start shedding that weight.

Hi, I notice that you have listed as exercise things like driving, shopping etc and I think you might be over estimating the amount of exercise you do. If I were you I would think of reducing my calorie intake. I think your 1800 cal allowance is letting you maintain your weight but not getting you to push over to lose anything.

I can only relate by telling you what works for me, so I apologize for that in advance, perhaps something here will help you. I'm trying something new, called carb cycling, so far I'm very happy with how it's working.
I don't believe that low carb hurts your kidneys/ liver, I think it's hype. My Mom was getting really big so started Atkins, and has been eating that way for 30 years, because all her brothers and sisters had old age diabetes and she stopped eating sugar, also starches give her edema and make joints hurt. Shes 86 and in pretty good health, her liver and kidneys are great, so is her heart. She takes only Plavix now because she had a couple of TIA's, and not the tons of prescriptions many seniors do. She lost 130 pounds, too.
I cut out the sugar, dairy, starch and alcohol(induction) for 2 weeks when I started this and I lost a nice chunk. Eating a lot of veggies is good too, a BIG salad for lunch, with protein. My calorie intake for last month averaged 1500 a day, so I'm trying to cut it to 1400 this month because I want to lose a little faster. I also count both carbs and calories, but I'm over 50 and that's the only way it works for me now. And yeah, the exercise is a big plus. I'm sure that and writing down what I'm eating is what's working for me this time. You don't have to kill it every time, some days when I go to the gym I only get to 20 minutes on the elliptical. Go for a walk, get an exercise video, whatever you like to get it going. I hope something here might give you some ideas- good luck.

I agree with holfraz - I think (if your diet calendar is 100% complete) that your intake looks good, and I think an average of 1600 cal/day is just fine if you can incorporate some regular activity in your life! Only put things in your exercise calendar that get your heart rate up, and, like holfraz said, try to get it up for 20-30min/5 days a week.

Thanks all for your input, any advice is welcome. I really need to try something different cuz obviously what I am doing is not working. I must say that in all honesty I underestimate what calories I burn as there is no calculator for estimating calories burnt for ball throwing, painting, moving furniture, box unpacking, closet organizing,cooking, flower potting,( we have just moved) Etc. I guess what really ticks me off is that WW is supposed to be the cure all- teach how much/ portion control, to eat or drink and still be a healthy weight. so what I am getting at is that I could eat for the rest of my life 1600 cal and be active and still be very overweight. It just doesn't seem fair. I am on a pity party right now! Lol .
I will keep plugging away and try new combinations of things. Please contribute any thoughts or ideas as all are taken into kind consideration. Cheers.

Are you weighing and measuring everything? Sometimes we underestimate or overestimate what a cup, tsp, etc. is. At least I did so I got a scale and used actual measuring cups etc.

The Privilege to Speak of Christ
The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed to preach the Gospel. He did not look upon his calling as a drudgery, but he entered upon it with intense delight. Although Paul was thankful for his calling, his success in it greatly humbled him.
The fuller a ship becomes, the deeper it sinks in the water. Idlers may indulge a fond conceit of their abilities, because they are untried; but the earnest worker soon learns his own weakness. If you seek humility, try hard work; if you would know your nothingness, attempt some great thing for Jesus. If you want to feel how utterly powerless you are apart from the living God, attempt especially the great work of proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ, and you will know, as you never knew before, what a weak, unworthy thing you are.
Although the apostle thus knew and confessed his weakness, he was never perplexed as to the subject of his ministry. From his first sermon to his last, Paul preached Christ, and nothing but Christ. He lifted up the cross and extolled the Son of God who bled on it. Follow his example in all your personal efforts to spread the glad tidings of salvation, and let "Christ and him crucified" be your ever-recurring theme.
The Christian should be like those lovely spring flowers that, when the sun is shining, open their golden cups, as if saying, "Fill us with your beams!" But when the sun is hidden behind a cloud, they close their cups and droop their heads. So should the Christian feel the sweet influence of Jesus. Jesus must be his sun, and He must be the flower that yields itself to the Sun of Righteousness.
Oh, to speak of Christ alone--this is the subject that is both "seed to the sower and bread to the eater."1This is the live coal for the lip of the speaker, and the master-key to the heart of the hearer.

Held in Honor is a rich collection of 50 insightful quotes on marriage, carefully selected from church history dating all the way back to the first century. Each quote is accompanied by a Scripture-based devotional designed to encourage married couples or couples contemplating marriage.
The historical quotations in Held in Honor provide a collection of wisdom from the ages. Although the union of a man and woman my look different in any given time or place, there are common challenges that transcend culture, age, ethnicity, and context. This devotional invites couples to the common experience by drawing upon wisdom from the past.
Held in Honor brings together voices from Ignatius of Antioch to Elisabeth Elliott to Charles Spurgeon. Regardless of where couples are in the journey of marriage, these insights from the past are designed to draw couples closer to God and to remind couples of the roles God intended for both husbands and wives. (Available in soft cover or as an e-book)
