DATE ISSUED: ATTENTION: SUBJECT: March 11, 2014 REPORT NO: 14-023
Honorable City Council President and City Councilmembers Approval of Agreement between the City of San Diego and United States Golf Association to host the 121 st United States Open Championship at Torrey Pines Golf Course
Approve the Agreement between the City of San Diego and United States Golf Association (USGA) to host the 121 st United States Open Championship (2021 U.S. Open) at Torrey Pines Golf Course.
Approve the requested action.
The City of San Diego is the owner and operator of Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course (Torrey Pines). Designed by legendary course architect William P. Bell and completed by his son, William F. Bell, Torrey Pines opened in 1957, and offers two 18-hole Championship courses; the North and South courses. Since 1968, Torrey Pines has been the venue for the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour event now known as the Farmer's Insurance Open and has been the venue for the Junior World Golf Championships for the last forty-five years. In 2001, celebrated golf course designer Rees Jones remodeled the South Course, which is known as one of the nation's foremost municipal golf courses. In 2008, the South Course was the home of the 108 th U.S Open Championship, recognized by many as one of the greatest championships in U.S. Open history. Based on the success of the 2008 U.S. Open, the USGA seeks to hold the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. Hosting the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines is consistent with the Golf Business Plan as adopted by the City Council in 2012.
The United States Open Championship is one of golf's most prestigious events world-wide. The City of San Diego successfully hosted the 108 th U.S. Open Championship June 9-16, 2008 at Torrey Pines. The Championship at Torrey Pines marked the first time the event had been held on a City municipal golf course. With more than 2,300 members of the international media in attendance, the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines generated international media attention and ended with a dramatic double tie eighteen hole and sudden death play-off. The 2008 U.S. Open was sold out nearly a year in advance. More than 295,000 people attended the eight day event; generating more than 74,000 room nights in local hotels. The majority of attendees
were shuttled to Torrey Pines from Qualcomm Stadium as part of a comprehensive transportation plan that left traffic running smoothly throughout the area during the event. Television ratings were the best in U.S. Open recent history with the numbers comparable to the Academy Awards and 2006 Olympics. More than 40 hours of live coverage on NBC and ESPN were broadcast to 173 countries. An event the scope of the U.S. Open would not be successful without volunteers and in 2008 more than 6,000 volunteers representing all 50 states and 17 countries contributed 110,000 work hours to support the Championship. According to a 2008 U.S. Open Economic Impact Analysis conducted by the San Diego State University Center for Hospitality and Tourism Research (Attachment A), the 2008 U.S. Open generated a total economic impact to the San Diego region of $142 million, including $1.5 million in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), $295,000 to the Tourism Marketing District, and $1.6 million in local sales tax'. 2021 U.S. Open Agreement The success of the 2008 U.S. Open and the experience gained from hosting the event serves as the foundation for the 2021 U.S. Open Agreement. It should be noted that in 2008, the USGA contracted with a third party non-profit organization, The Friends of Torrey Pines (Friends) to host the event and in turn the Friends contracted with the City of San Diego for certain responsibilities. Based on the experience gained by the City and the USGA in 2008, the two parties seek to contract directly with one another for the 2021 agreement. The USGA will establish a Local Host Committee (discussed below) to implement certain aspects of the Agreement. Following is a summary of the key deal points found in the Agreement between the City and USGA to host the 2021 U.S. Open: Lease of Premises and Property — The USGA agrees to lease all areas of the Torrey Pines golf courses, including the South Course (the "Championship Course") and the North Course, the practice range, all other buildings, facilities and parking areas located on the grounds of the courses, and all equipment and supplies related to the operation of the courses (the "Torrey Pines Facilities"). The City's administrative offices and maintenance yard are not included. In addition, the USGA will enter into agreements with the City's lessees, Torrey Pines Club Corporation, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, and The Lodge at Torrey Pines for use of facilities leased by them. The USGA will develop an event plan for the Championship consistent with facility layout and usage during the 2008 U.S. Open. Additional City Leased Property — As part of the lease, the City agrees to provide at the Torrey Pines Gliderport and at the Qualcomm Stadium Parking Lot, the areas necessary to support the transportation plan and other activities for championship purposes, consistent with the use period utilized for the 2008 U.S. Open Championship. Additional Third Party Leased Property — In order to conduct the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, the USGA must also reach agreement with the City's lessees and other nearby property owners. The City agrees to use its good faith, best efforts to facilitate contracts with The Lodge at Torrey Pines, the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, and the University of California at San Diego, with terms, at a minimum, consistent with the championship purposes and the use periods utilized for the 2008 U.S. Open Championship. It is the intent of the USGA to enter into agreements with these third parties before or at about the same time as its agreement with the City.
As reflected in 2008 dollars.
City of San Diego Support — The City agrees to designate lead City staff to assist the USGA with
coordination among various City departments to successfully plan and conduct the Championship.
Local Host Committee Support — The USGA will identify a group of individuals and organizations
associated with the Torrey Pines golf community to serve as the Local Host Committee. As in 2008, the Local Host Committee will play an important role in working with the USGA to fulfill various functions such as marketing and sales of hospitality venues, coordination and support of community relations efforts and volunteer recruitment and organization.
Dates — The Championship Week, including official practice days, will be conducted June 13-20, 2021.
The ending date of the Championship may be extended if rounds are postponed or in the event of a playoff. The USGA will have exclusive use of the Torrey Pines Facilities beginning at 7:01 p.m. on Wednesday, June 9 th and ending at 12:01 a.m. on the second day following the conclusion of the Championship. Play on the Championship Course will be limited to competitors and USGA personnel on Monday, June 6 th through Wednesday, June 8. Additionally, the USGA will have non-exclusive rights to use the Torrey Pines Facilities on either end of the exclusive period consistent with 2008.
Lease of Premises - The USGA will pay the City a rental amount of $2,500,000 for lease of the Torrey
Pines Facilities, as follows: $25,000 upon execution of this Agreement by both parties; $250,000 by May 15, 2020 $250,000 by September 15, 2020; $250,000 by January 15, 2021; and $1,775,000 by no later than June 30, 2021. City staff has reviewed the amount of rent and has determined that the payment is fair and reasonable.
Admission Tickets - The USGA will be responsible for the marketing, sales and fulfillment of all admission
tickets, and will receive 100% of the gross receipts from all tickets and credentials, including tickets that are provided in corporate hospitality packages. Consistent with USGA practices at other venues, the USGA shall provide the City three hundred (300) weekly grounds tickets that include entrance to the City Hospitality Tent free of charge for use by the City. The City shall also be entitled to purchase three hundred (300) weekly season ticket packages from the USGA at a cost equal to the face value of the admission ticket. Receipt by the City of both no-cost and face value tickets is contingent upon adoption by the City Council of a distribution policy for their use. The USGA will make up to an additional 450 weekly season ticket packages available for purchase at face value by the Local Host Committee.
Corporate Hospitality - The USGA will be responsible for all sales, marketing and fulfillment of the
Corporate Hospitality Program. The USGA will develop a marketing plan for the Hospitality Program after consultation with the City and the Local Host Committee and will appoint a marketing director to oversee the implementation of such plan. The City and the USGA will share in the revenues derived from Hospitality Program sales. The City shall receive twenty percent (20%) of the gross sales of hospitality packages less the gross value of tickets and food and beverages included in the relevant packages. For Hospitality Program sales conducted in City
leasehold space at The Lodge at Torrey Pine and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, the City shall receive a ten percent (10%) share. Consistent with USGA practices at other venues, sales that are specifically excluded from the Hospitality Program, and therefore exempt from revenue sharing with the City, include any hospitality facility provided for use by the City (City Hospitality Tent) during the week of the Championship; any hospitality facility or facilities to be provided to the Media Rights holders; any facilities used by the USGA or players; any Upgraded Spectator Facilities; and, any hospitality facility or facilities provided by the USGA to its corporate partners or used as a trade-out for services provided by a championship vendor not to exceed 5 tent locations and six 6 table locations. Merchandise — As was the case in 2008, the USGA will develop a championship logo, utilizing the Torrey Pines marks and will have the exclusive right to sell championship-logoed merchandise in the Torrey Pines Facilities, and/or in other Third Party Leased Properties, during the Exclusive Use Period. The City owns the name and trademark "Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course", 'Torrey Pines South Course," and "Torrey Pines North Course." As part of the Agreement, the City licenses the use of those names to the USGA and its contractors for the Championship. The USGA will enter into an agreement with Torrey Pines Club Corporation for use of the Torrey Pine Tree logo used in connection with the course. Official Program/Course Map & Guide/Pairing Sheets — The USGA will publish and distribute the official program, course map and guide, and pairing sheets, in paper or electronic formats, for the Championship, including any related advertising sales, and will retain 100% of any associated revenues. The USGA will provide the City messaging and advertising space based on then best practices. Television/Media Rights— The USGA is the owner of all commercial rights related to the Championship and will be solely responsible for all arrangements related to any and all radio and television broadcast and media coverage, and will retain 100% of all fees and proceeds from sales and licensing of rights to television, radio, internet, and other such proprietary media rights. The USGA's event plan will include space for media operations. Food & Beverage/Catering/Concessions— The USGA will be responsible for arranging for and overseeing all food and beverage service for the Championship and for complying with all applicable laws and permitting requirements. Course Playing Conditions — Consistent with the 2008 U.S. Open, the USGA will develop an agronomic program for the Championship Course and the practice facilities, and the City will prepare and maintain the Championship Course and practice facilities, at its expense, and in compliance with such agronomic program. The USGA may direct or require that the City make modifications to the Championship Course at the City's cost and in addition to the specifications of the agronomic program, up to a total cost of $350,000, including labor and materials. The City and the USGA will mutually agree to limit the number of rounds that will be played on the Championship Course during the period from January 1, 2021 through the start of the Championship, and the City will further agree to prohibit the use of golf carts on the Championship Course for a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the start of the Championship. Practice/Player Facilities— The City will provide, at its expense, practice facilities and amenities for players that are, at a minimum, consistent with those provided in 2008 or otherwise compliant with then-applicable USGA and professional golf standards.
Outings/Playing Privileges —The USGA will have the exclusive use of the Championship Course for a total of up to 6 days to be used during the calendar years 2019, 2020 and/or 2021 for the purpose of holding golf outings for advertisers, corporate clients, the press and other special guests of the USGA. The exact dates of such exclusive use and the number of players for such outings will be mutually determined by the USGA and the City. Police/Security/Traffic Control/Emergency Services —The USGA will assume primary responsibility for working with applicable law enforcement authorities and private security providers to implement a comprehensive security plan that complies with the USGA's security standards and procedures, as well as applicable laws. The USGA will work with the City to arrange for all policing, security, traffic control, fire and emergency medical services provided by the City for the Championship and will determine, subject to the City's approval, the time, location, nature, and extent of all necessary service inside and outside of the Torrey Pines Facilities. The USGA will assume all expenses for private security required for the Championship, and up to a maximum of $450,000 of all expenses for police, fire, and emergency medical services provided by the City. The amount of this payment will be the entire amount the USGA will pay to the City to reimburse the relevant authorities and agencies for their services, and to cover any costs for City permits, including any Special Event Permit, Building Permits, or other required permits as may be necessary pursuant to City law and/or regulations. Permits/Compliance With All Laws— The USGA will assume responsibility for complying with all county, state and federal laws, regulations, and orders, including obtaining any required permits or approvals that apply to the use of the property for the Championship. Golf Championship Non-Competition — The USGA recognizes that Torrey Pines currently hosts a PGA Tour event that is scheduled to continue. Except for that event, the agreement requires that no major championships, other PGA Tour events, or other national tournaments are held during the period of three years prior to, or three years following the U.S. Open. The City will not make any announcement regarding the hosting of any future tournament at Torrey Pines during the year beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021 unless agreed to by the Association. Indemnification and Insurance—The USGA is required to carry appropriate levels of insurance and to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless against all claims arising out of the USGA's conduct of the Championship. The City agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the USGA harmless against any claims arising out of the City's negligence, the City's merchandising activities, the City's maintenance of the golf course, and the City's breach of any representation or warranties set forth in the Agreement. The City and the USGA both agree to obtain indemnification provisions and insurance requirements from all third party vendors. FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is anticipated that the 2021 U.S. Open will bring significant direct and indirect revenue to the City. As previously described, the 2008 U.S. Open generated a regional economic impact of $142 million with specific benefits to the City of San Diego of $1.5 million in TOT and $1.6 million in local sales tax. Based on the experience of both parties working together to stage one of the most successful U.S. Open Championship's in recent history, the City has been able to negotiate terms that are more favorable than those agreed upon by the City for the 2008 U.S. Open. It should be noted that revenue and expenses related to the Championship may be shared by the Golf Enterprise Fund (EF), the General Fund (GF), and in some cases both funds (EF/GF). 5

(TSX:ATB & ATB.DB) ("Atrium" or the "Corporation"), a globally recognized leader in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative, science-based natural health products, announced today that its shareholders and convertible debentureholders (together the "Securityholders") have approved the resolution authorizing the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") providing for the acquisition of all the outstanding Atrium shares for cash consideration of $24.00 per common share by corporations backed by the Permira funds and the acquisition by the Corporation of all of its outstanding convertible debentures. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Atrium's senior management will be rolling over up to approximately $8 million of equity investment in the Corporation.
The Arrangement resolution required the approval of 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders of Atrium and of a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders of Atrium other than Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.), Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and senior management (collectively, the "Interested Shareholders"), in each case present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting of Securityholders (the "Special Meeting").
The approval of the Atrium convertible debentureholders was also sought at the Special Meeting to allow the convertible debentureholders to participate in the Arrangement. The participation in the Arrangement of the Atrium convertible debentureholders required the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the principal amount of convertible debentures held by the convertible debentureholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.
The Arrangement resolution was approved by 98.9% of the votes cast by shareholders of Atrium present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting (including 98.4% of the votes cast by shareholders of Atrium other than the Interested Shareholders) and by 99.9% of the votes cast by convertible debentureholders of Atrium present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.
The Arrangement is also subject to approval by the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) at a final hearing which has been scheduled to be held on January 27, 2014, at the Montréal Courthouse, in Montréal, Québec at 9:00 a.m. (Montréal time) or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. It is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in February 2014 subject to, without limitation, court approval as set forth above obtaining required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions precedent.

We all know the latest numbers: Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from last year, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. We're rapidly approaching a data production of 40 zettabytes a day – more than we can every physically store, and exabytes and yottabytes are just around the corner.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Bush, To Go
His Presidential-ness George Bush is scheduled to visit our fair city tomorrow. What the fuck is Dubya doing darkening our collective doorsteps this time? Why, politickin', of course. He'll be in town for a $1000-a-plate lunch in the Cherry Hills home of Charlie Gallagher (of the private equity firm Gallagher Enterprises), which should raise a little green for Rick O'Donnell, the GOP candidate making a bid to wedge his ass firmly into the seventh congressional district seat.
Thing is, the guest of honor at an event like this never gets to eat anything: The Prez will be too busy shaking hands and posing for commemorative photos (at $4200 a pop) to enjoy much luncheon grub. But Dan Tang -- owner of Heaven Dragon restaurant in Thornton, and a big contributor to Republican candidates for offices both large and small — is riding to Bush's the rescue. Just as he has three times before, Tang is putting together a large delivery order for the presidential party, and he'll take it to the big man as the fundraiser ends.
Want to know what Bush's really select circle will be eating? See "Salt Treaty," my October 2004 review of Heaven Dragon: Bush orders the same thing every time he's in town, and this visit is no exception.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Wear high heels without the pain
Relevant offers
It's a myth that all high heels are uncomfortable - you just have to buy the right styles.
Here are 24 ouch-less styles to choose from - and seven tips to remember when shoe shopping.
1. WIDE STRAPS: Wide straps hold your foot in better than flimsy strings. Look for straps that sit firmly across your foot and don't dig in or rub.
2. BOOTIES: Booties have more material to cover your foot, and for the same reason as wide straps, give you more support.
3. THICK HEELS: It's a simple law of physics that thinner heels equal more pressure on the feet. Even out that pressure and make for less wobble with thick solid heels.
4. ANKLE STRAPS: Ankle straps hold the foot straight and lessen the chances of a sidewalk topple.
5. WEDGES OR WEDGE-LIKE HEELS: Wedges or wedge-like heels support the arch of the foot and make for a more sturdy slope.
6. PLATFORMS: Platforms lift the front of the foot and play a trick on the eyes. The result is the look of height without the steep angle.
7. FLATFORMS: Flatforms give you the height but keep your feet happy and flat.

Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly has stated that she "could never leave" the show.

Hurling abuse wasn't the problem for Petra Mills. But a court ruled that calling her New Zealand neighbour an Australian was racist and against the law.
Czech-born Mills, 31, has been found guilty of racially aggravated public disorder after a rant at her New Zealand-born neighbour in Macclesfield, south of Manchester.
Chelsea O'Reilly, who has dual British and New Zealand citizenship, said: "She called me a stupid fat Australian b****. Because of my accent there can be some confusion over my nationality. She knew I was from New Zealand.
"She was trying to be offensive. I was really insulted. She said she would kill my dog. Bizarrely she then blew raspberries at me like a child."
The incident happened when O'Reilly was giving a statement to police about a domestic incident between Mills and Mills' husband in early September, the Daily Mail reported.
Mills, who had called the police after running from her house, had stormed over to O'Reilly's house and began screaming at her.
Two police constables told the court they had heard Mills use the word "Australian" during her drunken rant.
At Macclesfield magistrates' court Mills agreed she had shouted but denied she was being racist.
"I did not use the word 'Australian'. I used to live with an Australian person. She was very nice."
But chairman of the bench Brian Donohue said: "You were in an emotional and inebriated state. The word 'Australian' was used. It was racially aggravated and the main reason it was used was in hostility."
Mills denied the charge of racially aggravated public disorder but was found guilty and fined £110. She admitted assaulting a police constable by kicking him in the shin and knee and was fined £200 on that charge. She was also ordered to pay both victims £50 compensation, and £500 court costs.
Mills and her husband moved to Scotland after the incident.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

I feel I should help us fight the prejudice against atheists out there. Two of the most common questions I get asked as an atheist are "How can you deny that this world is the product of anything but intelligent design?" and "What do you yell out in bed?"
In the case of the former, I answer "I can deny that we're the byproduct of intelligent desgin because you're here." With the latter, I go "Ask your wife."
I know it makes me sound like a dick, but I really don't care.

One of the new ministers of state in the Akhilesh Yadav government had to be administered the oath of office and secrecy a second time on Friday because he used his alias, not his actual name, the first time on Thursday.
Governor B L Joshi administered the oath to Tej Narain Pandey, MLA from Ayodhya, at Raj Bhavan. Yesterday, Pandey had taken oath as Pawan Pandey.
This is not the first time a SP leader has committed a faux pas during oath-taking. Last year, when the Akhilesh Yadav government was formed, senior SP leader Azam Khan did not read the oath properly. He was again administered the oath.
Pandey is a first-time minister and also first-time MLA. He is a former vice-president of the Lucknow University Students' Union, who has eight criminal cases pending in courts at Lucknow and Faizabad.

Four men washed away in high tide at Suvali beachHimanshu Bhatt | TNN | Jun 15, 2014, 05.40 PM IST
SURAT: Four men, aged 25-30, were washed away in high tide and heavy currents of sea water at Suvali beach some 20 km off Surat city on Sunday afternoon.
The youth employed with MTU company under contract with L&T located in Hajira had planned a Sunday beach excursion and had hired a car to reach Suvali beach by 12.00 noon on Sunday from their residences located at Western city of Adajan.
The youth identified as Sandeep Lunar, Sagar Lunar, Yogendra Lunar and Manish Sharma reached Suvali beach with driver Amit Tiwari and walked in the sea as waters were about 700 meter deep from the shores.
However, they did not know of high tide to begin at 12.30 pm.
As the tide began and water currents grew , Tiwari managed to reach the shore but other four were trapped in the water. Water from all four sides engulfed them in few minutes and high currents washed them away. Number of Private rescue teams including that of Essar , Reliance, Cairns energy and others along with two fully equipped rescue teams of fire brigade of Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) are pressed in service for search and rescue but high tide and strong water currents of the sea have made their task difficult.
" We are searching fore the youth but high tide and heavy currents have made our job difficult. It looks we might have to wait till tide ebbs and waters recede.
In last 12 years in six different incidents , till now 19 people have lost their lives on Suvali beach .

We watch films to be moved, informed, entertained, or simply to erupt in laughter.
Sometimes a film lest us experience all of those things. The independent film Hope Café does just that.
Starring veteran actor Noel Gugliemi (Fast and Furious) as Hector, Hope Café takes us first to Hector's world: the gang and drug-infested streets of East Los Angeles. A small-time, street hustler, Hector falls in love with Jade—charmingly played by Los Angeles and New York model, and first-time director, Radhaa Nilia—a single mom trying to get back on her feet from an abusive relationship.
Since this is a faith-based family film, we are spared the customary violence of Hector's street life, but not the dead-end futility of it. While Hector is trying to get away from his dealer life and his gangsta friends, Jade is trying to settle in a small town in Oregon and create a new life for herself and her estranged daughter.
Jade lands a job as a barista in a local café, and this is where the two young castaways meet. At first, Hector is charming, funny and nice, but his criminal past soon catches up with him, and Jade starts to seriously wonder if he is willing and able to leave his destructive habits behind. For Hector, Jade's new-found faith in God is a challenge, but for the sake of his love, he is willing to give it a try.
The actors in Hope Café includes Asian superstar Raymond Bagatsing in a role as Hector's Catholic priest. Bagatsing, who has won many acting awards in Asia, recently had a lead role next to French superstar Isabelle Huppert in Captive, a film directed by Cannes Film festival award winner Brilliante Mendoza.
What is lesser known about Bagatsing, but perhaps interesting to elephant readers, is that he has been a committed yogi and vegetarian for many years. Lead actress, as well as the director of the film, Radhaa Nilia, is also a practicing yogini and currently studying to become a yoga teacher in Los Angeles.
In addition to veteran gangsta actor Noel Gugliemi, the film also features F. Valentino Morales (The Ropes) as well as hip hop artist Cool in a supporting role as Hector's drug boss.
This moving family drama, inspired by real events, is a stirring tribute to the endurance of faith and love. The film's delightful indie appeal lies not only in its small town charm and its many quirky characters, but also, surprisingly, for me, in its faith-based, Christian values.
The film does not wear these values on its sleeve, however, but poignantly reveals them in small doses as a path toward personal redemption rather than a path toward everlasting salvation. In other words, it's a film about how faith can be an integral aspect of personal transformation.
If the film has a social message, it is that hope, faith and love has the power to overcome our addictions to drugs, crime and violence. At least for some people faith has had that kind of power. The question is, of course, is faith enough to transform Hector, and to keep him and Jade together? That's what this charming little film with a big heart is all about.

Business travelers trying to manage paper while on the road will find it easy to scan and even upload documents to the cloud with the new Xerox® Travel Scanner 150, a small, USB powered mobile scanner introduced by Xerox (NYSE: XRX) today. The Travel Scanner 150 includes automatic intelligent image correction, a sleek design and links to easily upload scanned documents to the cloud, all for only $159.99.
"Business professionals want to manage information, not spend their day scanning paper," said John Capurso, president and COO at Visioneer, a Xerox licensing partner. "This mobile scanner enables our 'road warrior' users to scan, organize and share any document they encounter, from receipts, business cards, and notes to photos, office documents and maps."
What makes the Xerox Travel Scanner 150 different?
The integration of Visioneer OneTouch® technology allows users to scan to any "destination" by simply inserting the document into the scanner. This eliminates the multiple steps usually required to save scanned documents in popular file formats. Acuity software enables the scanner to make perfect scans from imperfect originals and - with the press of a button - the scanner can scan and automatically upload documents to popular cloud repositories (in your file format of choice including text-searchable PDF) via a set of free links. The Travel Scanner 150 also includes patented AutoLaunch technology so users can automatically start scanning documents as soon as they are inserted into the scanner.
Powerful yet Easy-to-Use
The Xerox Travel Scanner 150 measures only 2" x 1.5" x 12.4", weighs 10.6 ounces -- less than a can of diet soda. The Xerox Travel Scanner can scan and convert documents into searchable Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files that are easily organized, shared and protected. It is designed to automatically save, at the user's option, any scanned item into a text-searchable PDF file, while at the same time maintaining the appearance of the original document.
Pricing and Availability
The Xerox Travel Scanner 150 is priced at $159.99, and is available immediately through online channel partners, VARs and major resellers.
