Lars von Trier, Melancholia, 2011, still from a color video transferred to 35-mm film, 130 minutes.
"I HOPE NO ONE gets a clit cut off in this movie," a colleague sitting next to me said this morning before Lars von Trier's Competition entry Melancholia. She was, of course, referring to the self-inflicted snipping of Charlotte Gainsbourg's tender lady part in Antichrist, which was in contention for the Palme d'Or in 2009 and proved so inflammatory to some journalists that the director was booed at his own press conference.
Melancholia, though it depicts the end of the world in its prelude, is much less provocative than von Trier's previous film; it's the flip side to Competition titles like The Tree of Life and Naomi Kawase's Hanezu, which mythopoeically explores the birth of Japan. (If bad kids and the worse things done to them dominated the first week of the festival, the second has been defined by the big bang and doomsday.) Kirsten Dunst, who replaced Penélope Cruz, plays Justine, a new bride who suffers from crippling depression. Her mental illness is so severe that she drives away her groom during their wedding reception. Justine is tended to by her sister, Claire (Gainsbourg), who grows more anxious about the impending approach of Melancholia, "a planet that has been hiding behind the sun."
At the Melancholia press conference, von Trier was met not with fourth-estate fury but polite, if tepid, response. When a correspondent from Indonesia asked if he were happy with the film, the director, known for taking none of these press events seriously, responded, "When I saw the stills, I kind of rejected it a little. Maybe it's crap. I hope not. But there's a really big possibility that this [film] might not be worth seeing."
The Q&A proved such a pleasant, dull affair that von Trier couldn't resist stirring up trouble. In answer to a London reporter's query about the Teutonic influences in the film—Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is heard throughout—and von Trier's discovery in 1989 that his biological father was German, the director replied, "I thought I was a Jew and was happy. And then I found out I was really Nazi." As Dunst, sitting to von Trier's left, began to squirm, he continued, "I understand Hitler. I sympathize with him a little bit. [. . .] I'm for the Jews—but not too much because Israel is a pain in the ass." After the filmmaker admitted his admiration for Albert Speer, a Canadian journalist decided to jump right in with this crucial question: Did von Trier consider Melancholia his answer to the blockbuster? His response: "Yes, we Nazis try to work on a grander scale."
Left: Oliver Hermanus, Skoonheid (Beauty), 2011, color film in 35 mm. Right: Aki Kaurismäki, Le Havre, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 93 minutes.
L'AFFAIRE DSK continues to dominate the news: The cover of today's Libération features a grim-faced Strauss-Kahn gazing downward with the simple headline "K.O."; the right-wing Nice-Matin also has a photo of the embattled IMF chief on its cover next to the words "En prison," though more prominent placement is given to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie—"Le couple glamour du Festival"—on the red carpet.
Of course, sometimes the movies themselves remind the four thousand film journalists assembled here that topics weightier than Terrence Malick exist. Unspooling at 8:30 this morning, Aki Kaurismäki's Competition title Le Havre, a droll yet compassionate look at the perils faced by illegal immigrants, has been one of the most warmly received films by the tetchy press corps so far. In the Finnish director's second film set in France after La Vie de Bohème (1992), former artist Marcel (André Wilms), now working as a shoe shiner in the port town of the title, shelters and provides safe passage for Idrissa (Blondin Miguel), a young refugee from Gabon hoping to be reunited with his mother in London. Kaurismäki's wry take on immigration—an especially thorny subject in France—moved one journo to talk back to the screen. When a character solicits the opinion of a Vietnamese friend of Marcel's, he responds, "Hard to say, for I don't exist"; one row behind me, I heard someone, thrilled to have his own views validated, proudly rejoinder, "Voilà."
My opinion was too aggressively sought out by an unknown publicist who grabbed my arm as I stumbled out of the Salle Debussy—my eyes adjusting, molelike, to the Côte d'Azur sun—after watching Oliver Hermanus's Beauty, playing in Un Certain Regard. An overcooked, protracted tale of a married, self-loathing, dangerous top, the twenty-eight-year-old South African director's sophomore effort is vying for the second "Queer Palm" (the inaugural award went to Gregg Araki's Kaboom last year); the QP jury will, according to its translated press release, "watch all the movies dealing with the gay, lesbian, bi, trans, intersex, and queer topics and disturbing the genders' established codes." But the jury no longer has a lavender watering hole to host its awards ceremony: The legendary Cannes boîte Zanzibar, Europe's oldest gay bar, closed earlier this year, torn down to make way for something less likely to disturb the genders' established codes: an ice cream shop.
Left: Bertrand Bonello, House of Tolerance, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 125 minutes. Right: Terrence Mallick, The Tree of Life, 2011, color film in 35 mm.
PUNCTURING THE HIGHLY UNNATURAL, hermetically sealed bubble of the festival yesterday, the arrest of IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn on charges of sexual assault in New York was deemed important enough to interrupt the usual coverage of photo calls and obsequious interviews on the Cannes TV station, which broadcasts on monitors throughout the Palais. But for the members of the press corps at 8:30 this morning, no event in France was more earth-shattering—literally—than the world premiere of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, the most anticipated title in Competition this year (and in 2010, when several attendees remained delusionally convinced that the infamously slow-working director would somehow finish his fifth movie in four decades in time for the festival).
On a micro level, The Tree of Life, set primarily in the 1950s in Waco, Texas (Malick's hometown), tells the story of a boy, Jack (Hunter McCracken), the oldest of three sons, struggling against the rule of his authoritarian father (Brad Pitt); on a macro, the film takes on nothing less than the beginning of the universe. Meteors erupt, lava flows, dinosaurs roam the earth; the whispery voice-over of Jack's beatific mother (Jessica Chastain) implores, "Help each other. Love everyone. Every leaf. Every ray of light. Forgive." As expected, Malick's cosmic grandiosity—often sublime, sometimes ridiculous—proved too much for many journalists, who began booing viciously before the film even ended; not even the rapturous applause of Tree of Life's comparable number of admirers could fully drown out their disdain.
The origin of the world—in Gustave Courbet's sense of the term—is also explored in Bertrand Bonello's Competition entry House of Tolerance, which takes place in an upscale Parisian brothel, the Apollonide, at the very beginning of the twentieth century. "Men really should spend more time staring at a woman's sex," says one habitué of the den of vice. Despite derailing more than once, House of Tolerance sustains its mood of lust and languor. Like Malick, Bonello has no qualms about deploying his own absurd special effects (or anachronistic sound track): In the final days of the Apollonide, the prostitutes dance with each other to the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin"; meanwhile, one physically damaged house veteran, crouched in a corner, cries tears of cum.
Left: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, The Kid with a Bike, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 87 minutes. Production still. Cyril (Thomas Doret). Right: Markus Schleinzer, Michael, 2011, color film in 35 mm.
CANNES, NOTORIOUSLY, is an event of extreme incongruities, which are nowhere more apparent than during the Competition red carpet screenings at the Lumière Theater. Every movie, no matter how austere or ghastly its subject matter, receives the same tacky treatment: An announcer fervently calls off the names not only of the film's cast and crew but also those of any celebrities—usually on the C-list, or lower—as they march up the Lumière steps to a medley of deafening American and Euro pop. Only in Cannes could you hear, as I did while racing to find the press queue for Markus Schleinzer's Michael, Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" before a film about a thirty-five-year-old pedophile who keeps a ten-year-old boy locked in his basement. Just a few yards away, lithe young men and women dressed all in white offered to give free hugs.
Schleinzer's first film maintains an impressive tonal assurance despite its appalling topic; both the criminal (Michael Fuith) and his prisoner (David Rauchenberger) are precisely observed. Michael continues the festival's dominant theme so far: children who are monstrous (We Need to Talk About Kevin) or the monstrous things that are done to them (Polisse). The Kid with a Bike by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, who are vying for an unprecedented third Palme d'Or, straddles both categories. Cyril (Thomas Doret), the ginger-headed eleven-year-old of the title, earns the nickname "Pitbull" from the thugs who live near his Belgian housing estate, but his ferocity is justified: The boy's father (played by Dardenne veteran Jérémie Renier) tells Cyril, who's spent days desperately trying to track him down, that he never wants to see him again; Dad confides to Cyril's foster parent that his only child "stresses him out." Though the structuring of the Dardennes' latest seems both too schematic and haphazard, their young star, in his first screen role, joins the most impressive on-screen talents seen at Cannes this year: those who are years away from getting a driver's license.
Left: Maïwenn, Polisse, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 127 minutes. Production still. Right: Nanni Moretti, Habemus Papam, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 104 minutes. Production still.
POLISSE IS THE THIRD of four Palme d'Or–vying films helmed by women, but its director has the distinction of being the only one in the Competition lineup with a mono-moniker: Maïwenn, who decided to drop her surname, Le Besco (she is the older sister of Isild Le Besco, another actress-writer-director). Based on real cases from the Paris Child Protection Unit, Polisse examines the brutal work and messy domestic lives of ten CPU officers, and stands out as the most clamorous, tonally awkward film shown in the festival so far. That the director cast herself in a completely superfluous role as a photographer assigned to document the unit—who later falls in love with its shoutiest member, Fred (the one-named, no-spaced Joeystarr)—typifies the film's many misjudgments (others include scenes in which the officers crack up, as did the audience, at the misfortunes of two barely teenage girls). One colleague admitted he endured the two-hours-plus running time just so he could hiss at the end; I wished I'd heard him over the stupefying applause during the final credits.
Also confounding were the claps and laughs that greeted Habemus Papam ("We Have a Pope"), another Competition title by another triple threat: Nanni Moretti, who won the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room. The director, who co-wrote the script with two others, plays a renowned psychoanalyst summoned to aid the newly elected pontiff, played by Michel Piccoli, who screams, "I can't do this!" just as he's summoned to the balcony of the Vatican to greet his flock. The Holy Father, presented as a sweet, sympathetic, frail old man, flees his handlers and mingles with civilians. During his walkabout, he falls in with a group of actors performing Chekhov; back at the Vatican, Moretti's shrink organizes a double round-robin volleyball tournament for the cuddly cardinals. Only in the final minutes of Habemus Papam does Moretti acknowledge, ever so discreetly, the enormous crises facing the Catholic Church. We have a papam; we also have pap. Why not a pope smear?
Left: Julia Leigh, Sleeping Beauty, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 101 minutes. Production still. Lucy (Emily Browning) Right: Gus Van Sant, Restless, 2011, color film in 35 mm, 95 minutes. Production still. Annabel Cotton and Enoch Brae and (Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper).
"OH! WAS THAT FESTIVAL SEX?" wisecracked a publicist outside the Salle Debussy this morning after he was accosted below the waist by a too-aggressive member of the scrum pushing to get in to see Gus Van Sant's Restless, which opens Un Certain Regard. The bodily contact along the Croisette was much lustier than what was on-screen: Written by first-time screenwriter Jason Lew, Restless recounts the romance between two teenagers—orphaned, funeral-crashing Enoch (Henry Hopper, son of Dennis), and Annabel (Mia Wasikowska), a naturalist with a brain tumor given three months to live. Wasikowska, who gives one of the best interpretations of roiling adolescent passion in the recent Jane Eyre, helps leaven the emo goo of Restless, a film that droops with its own tender earnestness.
Another kind of festival sex—depraved, baroque, and mostly offscreen—takes place in Sleeping Beauty, the first film from Australian novelist Julia Leigh, one of four women in the Competition lineup this year (the highest number in the festival's history). Emily Browning, who, coincidentally, replaced Wasikowska in the lead role, plays Lucy, a university student with a series of odd jobs: medical-research subject (for which she patiently submits to having a long tube threaded down her esophagus), café waitress, office filer—and an upscale sex worker paid to go into deepest slumber while geriatrics do what they want with her. The white-haired gentlemen, however, are respectfully asked to obey the rules of the soignée proprietess: "No penetration, and take care not to leave any marks." Slobbering, violent mouth exploration (including possible tooth extraction), and creaky dry humping are permitted.
Bodies—covered in tomato sauce?—also writhe in the dream-sequence opening scene of Lynne Ramsay's Competition entry We Need to Talk About Kevin, based on Lionel Shriver's 2003 novel about a teenage mass murderer told from the perspective of his mother, played by a hollowed-out Tilda Swinton. Ramsay's first film since 2002's Morvern Callar traces the development of the sociopath of the title from infancy. Though Ezra Miller is undoubtedly sinister as the archery-obsessed adolescent Kevin, the festival may need to create a Palme d'Enfant to acknowledge the formidable, creepy talents of Jasper Newell, who plays Kevin at age eight—and is the most baleful child actor I've ever seen.

LONDON Jan 10 The Norwegian crown fell sharply against the euro and dollar on Friday after inflation came in well below market consensus, adding to the case for the central bank to hold off with any rise in interest rates.
The crown fell around 0.4 percent immediately after the data was published to trade at 8.4269 crowns per euro. Against the dollar it weakened to as low as 6.1951 before recovering a touch.

The white background is a bit different than what I tend to gravitate toward but must have been the sort of mood I was in at the time. I thought these colors all played well together, though.

USW International President Leo W. Gerard and USW Member Jim Savage Discuss Hillary Clinton and Trade on Eve of Democratic National Convention
I was with USW member Jim Savage – and about 500 other union members from across the country – at a hotel meeting room in Philadelphia last night when AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka fired us up to promote our values these next few months.
"We will work together, we will march together, and come November, we will win together," Trumka said to cheers from the crowd.
To do that, Trumka said each person in the room had to talk to union brothers and sisters about Hillary Clinton.More ...
Is Donald Trump Serious About Trade, Or Anything?
One of the main themes of Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been the idea of getting tough with our trading partners. He has attacked President Obama and his predecessors for negotiating bad deals. Trump promises to get tough with the Chinese, Mexicans, and other trading partners and thereby bring jobs back to the United States.
While many working people would agree that recent trade deals have not benefited them, they have good cause to be skeptical about Trump's get tough promises. Most immediately his vice-presidential pick, Governor Mike Pence, has been a strong supporter of NAFTA and other trade deals. But choosing vice-presidents with differing views certainly has precedents.
More importantly, it is not clear what Trump thinks he is going to do when he gets tough with the Chinese and the other bad guys in his story. It's true that China and Mexico and many other countries are running trade surpluses with the United States. And it's also true that these surpluses have cost the jobs of millions of workers. In some cases these workers have been able to find new jobs, generally at much lower pay. However in many cases these workers remain unemployed and end up dropping out of the labor force altogether.
The trade deficit poses an especially severe problem in the context of secular stagnation: a situation in which the economy faces a sustained shortfall in demand. In the years prior to the collapse of the housing bubble most economists did not take the idea of a secular stagnation seriously. Their view was that if we saw a loss of demand due to a trade deficit, we could simply make it up with increased demand from consumption or investment spending.
GOP Convention Nurtures Nonsense, But Outside, People Talk Issues
CLEVELAND (PAI)--Inside the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump made himself "grate again" on our nerves.
Outside the convention hall, people were interesting, thought-provoking and in some cases, inspiring.
The first time Trump came on stage, it was with highly orchestrated special effects, appropriate for a presidential candidate hiding his actual goal: capturing the White House to institute polices that would further enrich billionaires like himself.
He walked onto the convention platform from the rear, emerging through a cloud of artificial fog. Through the magic of stage lighting, a shining halo surrounded his silhouette. As the music swelled, a podium slowly rose from the ground as Trump came into sharper view.
All of this was for the purpose of Trump giving a speech to introduce his wife, Melania, who, in turn, gave a speech introducing Trump. Later, it turned out that whoever wrote the speech stole a lot of it from a speech given years ago by Michelle Obama.
The show went downhill from there.More ...
Take A Stand: Boycott Nabisco Made In Mexico
Big Headlines for a Tiny Wage Hike
Lloyd Blankfein, one of America's most powerful bankers, a few years ago told a reporter that his Goldman Sachs financial colossus was doing "God's work."
That offhand comment would provoke an instant uproar. An embarrassed Blankfein had to quickly calm the waters. He meant his quip, the Goldman CEO assured us all, only as a joke.
Last week, one of Blankfein's high-finance peers, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, made some headlines of his own. In a widely heralded New York Times op-ed, Dimon proudly announced that his bank is making a major move to "create more widely shared prosperity."
JPMorgan, Dimon declared, will be raising the minimum pay of 18,000 of the bank's workers to "between $12 and $16.50 an hour."
Every business, the JPMorgan chief pronounced, needs to do its part to "address economic inequality." As a nation, he added, "we must find ways" to help Americans "move up the economic ladder."
Is Jamie Dimon serious about all this? Of course not. Like his CEO rival Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon is only kidding. Modern banks like JPMorgan Chase don't "address inequality." They create it.More ...

This four-disc box set issued by Prestige collects John Coltrane's sides for the label as a leader in 1957 and 1958, and his last date as a sideman for them. The material on Lush Life has its origins in two 1957 trio sessions and one quintet date from January of 1958. On the earlier sessions that make up three of the album's five tracks, the saxophonist is in the company of bassist Earl May and drummer Art Taylor. On the nearly 14-minute reading of the title tune and "I Hear a Rhapsody," Coltrane's company includes pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, trumpeter Donald Byrd, and Taylor. The sessions for Soultrane were recorded on February 7; the personnel comprised Garland, Chambers, and Taylor -- these latter three making up the pianist's concurrently running trio. While the album as a whole is flawless, its standouts include Coltrane's first recorded version of "I Want to Talk About You" and closer "Russian Lullaby," which is an early taste of what would become his "sheets of sound" approach. Stardust was recorded at two sessions in July and December. On the first date the group comprises trumpeter/flugelhornist Wilbur Harden, Garland, Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb; on the December date, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and Taylor replace Harden and Cobb. Stand-out tracks here include the opening title ballad and the hard-swinging "Then I'll Be Tired of You." The final album here, also recorded in 1958, was released as Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane. The others members of this album's quintet were pianist Tommy Flanagan, Chambers, and Cobb. The set contains a pair of Flanagan originals, one by Burrell, and two standards. While Coltrane feels somewhat constrained here -- even on the upbeat "Freight Train" -- his playing tends to move the groove right toward the session leader, who absolutely shines. Coltrane's gorgeous tone is heard best on the Oscar Hammerstein II/Jerome Kern nugget "Why Was I Born?" All of this material has been made available numerous times before in various packages; this one is budget-priced. ~ Thom Jurek

No prophet is a prophet forever

Luigino Bruni's series of Bible commentaries in Avvenire continues under the title: "Listening to Life", on the Book of Isaiah.
by Luigino Bruni
Summary: In this chapter, Isaiah opens our eyes to the nature and function of the prophetic vocation. The prophets do not always love the words that they have to announce, and find themselves saying things that they would not want to say. And when the people are already corrupt, their prophecy does not stop and convert corruption but strengthens it. But the prophet is primarily the guardian of the good seed, which can always sprout again.

Auckland at risk if house prices fall
The Kiwi property dreamShare your stories, photos and videos.

Relevant offers
Massive growth in the Auckland housing market appears to have come at the expense of Wellington.
The latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand show that the total value of all homes sold throughout New Zealand in the three months to the end of May was just over $11 billion and that just over $6b of those sales occurred in Auckland (refer table).
The figures also show that Auckland's growing dominance of the residential property market has mainly occurred in the last five years.
However, that means Auckland is more at risk of falling house prices and is likely to be hit harder than anywhere else in the country by rising mortgage interest rates which are expected to begin kicking in next year.
That's because the Auckland region is home to about 34 per cent of the country's population, but it accounts for 55 per cent of all residential property sales by value.
Auckland will also likely have a higher level of mortgage debt per head of population than other parts of the country, and will be hit harder when rising interest rates push up mortgage repayment levels.
Over the same three-month period in 2008, the total value of all homes sold throughout the country was $5.7b, with Auckland accounting for $2.35b (41 per cent) of that.
Much of the growth in Auckland appears to have come at the expense of Wellington, which has gone from accounting for 12.9 per cent of the value of all homes sold in 2008 to 9.5 per cent, putting it in fourth place behind Auckland, Canterbury and Waikato/Bay of Plenty, according to the REINZ's measurement of each region's total market value.
However, not all of the growth in the value of the Auckland property market can be attributed to the region having higher property prices compared to the rest of the country.
The REINZ figures show that Auckland accounted for 40 per cent of all sales (by number) in the three months to the end of May.
So the region's dominance has come through a combination of having more sales per head of population and higher average prices than the rest of the country.
That means its share of the country's $181b of mortgage debt is also likely to be higher per head of population, which would mean that when interest rates begin to rise, as they are expected to next year, Auckland is likely to be hit harder than other regions.
New Zealand Institute of Economic Research principal economist Shamubeel Eaqub said it was not surprising that property market turnover was higher in Auckland.
It had a younger population compared to the rest of New Zealand, so people were more likely to be moving houses as their family situation changed, and the region also needed more homes for both international and domestic migrants.
"Certainly we can say that the growth in borrowing that has occurred in the last 12 to 18 months has been concentrated in Auckland," he said.
"Accumulation of new debt is being disproportionately focused in Auckland and also the increase in house prices is disproportionately focused in Auckland."
That meant house prices were more likely to fall in Auckland with higher interest rates.
"In the regions, house prices are still quite low relative to their peak in 2007," Eaqub said.
"Auckland is a bit different. House prices are very high and have grown a bit from 2007 and have stretched away from incomes so the risk of falling house prices is greater in Auckland."

And: do you not realize that there is a rather nasty massacre going on right now?
And... finally... blaming the slaughter that occurred in the void created by over a decade of U.S. military intervention in Southeast Asia on the people who opposed the war is pretty near to the most asinine thing I've ever seen written or heard said about the Vietnam War... And, I've heard an awful lot of asinine things said about that war... Maybe you don't remember or maybe you never knew but there was already a massacre going on before the U.S. pulled out: over 2 million dead: mostly non-combatants killed by U.S. carpet bombing:
Bring all the troops home from Iraq, now.

Frustration 2: Implied: "We can teach you to do this, even if you don't know Python or how to write code." Umm, right. I had a clue, as I know VB 2010 and Java, and ran into roadblocks; for someone with no clue, not good.
Frustration 3: Someplace in the book there was a statement something like, "You should have a good map template if you want to create script to manipulate it." Okay, and how/where do we learn to do that?
Frustration 4: There were no hints of what to do if something didn't work. Basically, "here is my template, fill it in (from the examples), and there you go." (Life, ArcGIS, and Python are never that simple).
Frustration 5: No index. (Else I would give you the precise quote and page number re templates.)
Did like that the code was given for the try: and except: blocks, because that is a higher concept of coding and can be crazy to write.
Did like the discussion re progression and flow of code in the early chapters and creating the code outline/skeleton.
The book is easy to follow, and I picked up a few useful tips. (I was experienced with ArcGIS, but new to Python.) However, I quickly became frustrated. For many issues, the book advises referring to the Python or ArcGIS help files. Not necessarily a bad suggestion, but I don't need a book for that. The writing style is long-winded with numerous errors. And to cap it all, there is no index, which makes it almost impossible to use the book as a reference.
I didn't realize when I bought it that this book was self-published. Unfortunately, that shows.

The war in Iraq has finally overtaken various entertainment and seasonal event items among those using Lycos to search the Internet. The search term "war in Iraq" catapulted from #18 to #1 on the Lycos 50 for the week ending May 8, 2004, largely due to the controversial photos of Iraqi prisoners. Video of American POWs were the propellant for the last time searches related to the Iraq War reached #1, which was during the week of April 1, 2003.
There are a handful of other entries on the Lycos 50 and the Yahoo Buzz Index for the week ending May 9, 2004 that stray from the typical celebrity and entertainment searches. "Kentucky Derby" (#6) and "Cinco de Mayo" (#17) made the Yahoo list, while the week's Lycos 50 marked the re-entry of "Chernobyl" (#32) and the continued presence of dieting-related searches.
The lists included the ever-present "Britney Spears" and "Jennifer Lopez" who have both spent 247 weeks on Lycos and 162 on Yahoo. Also appearing on both lists: "American Idol," "Usher," "Lindsay Lohan," "Friends," "Beyonce," "Harry Potter," "Christina Aguilera," "Jessica Simpson," "NBA," and "Van Helsing."
Other long-timers on the Lycos 50 include: "Dragonball (#6)," "Pamela Anderson (#11)," "WWE (#12)," "Las Vegas (#28)," while "Curves (#49)" and "Carmen Electra (#50)" make return visits.

Cable guy is ready to roll
Relevant offers
Remi Galasso will become an internet hero if he pulls off his plan to lay a new US$300 million fibre-optic cable between New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
Rightly or wrongly, many computer users blame New Zealand's reliance on the Southern Cross Cable, half-owned by Telecom, for the miserly data caps still offered on some broadband plans and for supposedly high prices. Few argue a second cable network would not be a welcome piece of infrastructure for "New Zealand Inc".
Galasso declared last week that his company, Hawaiki, was just a few weeks away from getting the final go-ahead for a second cable network after having secured a major New Zealand company to be its equity partner and a bank willing to lend the money. He won't name them at this stage. What remains to be done is converting letters of intent from potential customers into firm contracts.
The crunch moment is called "Coming into Force" (CIF) in cable-industry speak, and in Hawaiki's case this would be when it triggered its construction contract with US firm TE SubCom, which it selected in September to lay the 13,127 kilometre cable.
Galasso moved to Queenstown from New Caledonia in January with his Iranian-born wife, a skin doctor, and nine-year-old son. That meant putting Intelia, the Noumea technology company in which he still owns a majority shareholding, and its 40 staff in the hands of a general manager.
It could be the start of an exciting chapter in the career of the 43-year-old French telecommunications industry executive in the town he dubs the "Switzerland of the Pacific".
He raves about his son's school and living in "the best country" to watch rugby. "Even if I do support France, I really like to see the All Blacks playing."
But failure for Hawaiki would unleash a torrent of cynicism. The internet community has been led up the garden path before, most notably by Pacific Fibre, a seemingly quasi-philanthropic venture backed by industry luminaries Sir Stephen Tindall, Sam Morgan and Rod Drury, which abandoned its own bid to lay a new trans-Pacific cable in 2012.
Galasso is an unknown quantity to most New Zealanders, even within the gossipy telecommunications industry, but there are some who have faith.
Colin Mitten announced in March that he would resign as chairman of economic development agency Northland Inc next month to pursue a plan to construct a $125m data centre close by Hawaiki's New Zealand cable-landing point near Whangarei.
"Galasso understands there have been other attempts to put cables in and he has played a cool game, not over-advertising it or setting huge expectations," Mitten says. "He has done this before, whereas previous attempts to build a second cable were by people who hadn't."
IDC Research analyst Adam Dodds argues that, realistically, the business case for the data centre hinges on the cable going ahead.
David Ware, chief executive of NZX-listed TeamTalk, has also met Galasso and believes he has the credentials and personality to pull off a project Hawaiki's size. "I think he has got what it takes. He has done other projects around the islands, he knows what he is doing and he seems to have a good team around him." That team includes the former general manager of Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks, Georges Krebs, and legal adviser Peter Missingham, a former partner at Kensington Swan in Auckland.
Born in the south-west of France, Galasso has an almost hum-drum explanation for how he ended up travelling the world pursuing what might seem an unlikely business venture.
He graduated from a business school in Tours before joining France's premier technology multinational, Alcatel. Postings took him to the then-virgin telecommunications market of Vietnam and to Malaysia before he was appointed "country senior officer" for the Pacific islands in 2001. Travelling the world "was not a specific plan, life is like that, you know", he says.
Galasso left Alcatel in 2006, before it merged with US firm Lucent. But he stayed in Noumea to found Intelia, which distributes and installs telecommunications systems, including gear from Alcatel-Lucent rival Ericsson, across the Pacific islands. In New Caledonia he was involved in the implementation of two cable networks; the 2100km Noumea-to-Sydney cable which was completed in 2008 and the 4600km Tahiti-to-Hawaii cable (2009).
Like New Zealand's hitherto elusive second cable network, neither of those cables came about overnight, Galasso is keen to point out.
It took seven years, from concept to completion, to build the Noumea cable "and exactly the same in Tahiti", he says. "It is true we have spent a lot of time on [the Hawaiki] project, but this is the way it is. In this industry you have to be a bit patient."
It was in 2006 that Galasso had the idea of laying a subsea cable between Hawaii and New Zealand, connecting several Pacific islands. "I saw a need for the Pacific islands to be connected as most of them were still relying on satellite and I saw a need for a second cable in New Zealand". But the small populations and long distances meant the business plan for the company, called Spin, hinged on financial support from the French government which never eventuated.
Hawaiki Cable's plan, linking Australia, New Zealand and the US via Hawaii, is a "completely different strategy" and more commercial, he says.
"We believe there are five different markets in the Pacific region. Ranked in terms of demand for capacity, 'number one' is Australia to the US. The second is Hawaii to the US west coast, the third is New Zealand to the US, the fourth is New Zealand to Australia and the fifth is Pacific islands to the US. We have designed Hawaiki to cover all five markets."
Pacific Fibre's proposal was "probably the best design for New Zealand but not for the market" as it skipped the Hawaii-to-US route.
There is speculation, too, that Hawaiki could capitalise on demand from the US Defence Department for capacity to link its growing Marines base in Darwin back to the US mainland, a potential source of income that Pacific Fibre appeared to just miss out on. "I am just not allowed to talk about it," Galasso says.
He may be patient but the clock is ticking. Brisbane-based company SubPartners, whose founder Bevan Slattery has an A$200m (NZ$215m) cable between Sydney and Guam on his resume, also wants to lay a cable connecting New Zealand and Australia to the US west coast, just as soon as it shores up support for another cable between Perth and Singapore.
Galasso believes Hawaiki's cable can coexist with, and indeed benefit from, a cable that Telecom aims to lay across the Tasman Sea in partnership with Telstra and Vodafone. But no-one believes there is immediate demand for two new trans-Pacific cables.
The need for speed may have influenced Hawaiki's plans. Its original goal was to pay for spurs to several Pacific islands, but Galasso now says its funding will only cover its trunk route. This means that if the islands want to connect to Hawaiki's cable they would need to pay up-front for spurs, or for branching units to be installed on the cable that would let them connect at a later date.
It is easy to guess the rationale. Instead of the whole cable venture potentially being held up while Pacific island governments and Hawaiki got their ducks in a row, Pacific island policy-makers would be put on the spot.
"There is something fantastic called 'island time' but unfortunately it is not very good in this kind of project," Galasso says. "Pacific islands will have to make a decision in the very coming months to know whether or not they want to be connected." The deadline he has given them is September.
That might sound a bit brutal, but Galasso indicates that Hawaiki has to balance idealism with pragmatism. "The idea of Hawaiki, which means the original land of the Maori people, was to connect all those Polynesian people from New Zealand to Hawaii, but the main business drivers are the Australian and New Zealand markets."
Throwing down the gauntlet to Pacific islands is not the only politically-sensitive decision Galasso has had to make. It was understood that he intended to join Bermuda-based Southern Cross Cable in domiciling his venture in a tax haven, and he doesn't deny it may have crossed his mind.
But if that was the plan, it isn't now. Hawaiki, which employs eight staff in New Zealand, Australia and Noumea, has been incorporated in New Zealand and Galasso says it will pay tax here.
"I made the choice to live in New Zealand with my family and to register the company in Auckland. I could have made other choices such as registering the company in a tax haven," he says. "But I feel it is important to give back to the country that welcomes you and to pay the taxes in New Zealand."
All its existing staff will move to its Auckland head office in the next few months and Galasso says it would take on another 10 during construction.
First, however, Galasso is hoping for a little bit of taxpayer money himself; specifically the $15m the Government allocated Crown-owned research network operator Reannz to buy international bandwidth on a new cable.
"I would not like to be in the shoes of the New Zealand Government, whatever you do you are criticised. One day you don't do enough, the next you do too much," he says.
"My personal opinion is the Government perfectly understands the need for a second cable and they are committed to make it happen. I sincerely hope Hawaiki will be allowed to provide capacity to Reannz."
That, he says, is all the Government help Hawaiki hopes and expects.
"I am not saying that we are not going to do the project without it. I don't think a system fully funded by public money is a good idea because I think competition is important and it is better to have private companies doing this, and that it is feasible."

Paraguayan Presidential Candidate Dies in Helicopter Crash
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 11:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 11:05 p.m.
ASUNCION, Paraguay | Paraguayan presidential candidate Lino Cesar Oviedo was killed in a helicopter crash, authorities said Sunday, ending a dramatic political career that included coups and repeated attempts to lead this impoverished 6.5 million-person country.
Oviedo was returning with his bodyguard from a political rally in northern Paraguay on Saturday night when his pilot encountered bad weather. All three were killed in the crash, said Johnny Villalba, a spokesman for Paraguay's airport authority.
Defense Minister Maria Liz Garcia said she traveled to the scene Sunday with Oviedo's daughter, congresswoman Fabiola Oviedo, and confirmed that the helicopter "disintegrated."
"One resident who lives near the accident scene said they heard a single explosion Saturday night," she added. "The aircraft ended up disintegrated and out of respect to the families of the victims, I won't release details about the cadavers."
The air traffic control tower in the provincial city of Concepcion received the pilot's last communication, Garcia said — a brief message that they were changing course because of a storm.
Lino Oviedo, 69, was running in April's elections as leader of Paraguay's third-largest opposition party, the National Union of Ethical Citizens.
A retired general and former army chief, Oviedo had tried for years to take the helm of his nation, and not always through democratic means.
As a colonel in 1989, Oviedo had been tasked with taking prisoner none other than Alfredo Stroessner, the feared dictator who had ruled Paraguay since 1954.
That bloody military coup sent Stroessner into Brazilian exile, but did little to diminish the hold on Paraguayan politics that his Colorado Party had cemented. Oviedo's role in the ouster was rewarded with a meteoric rise through the ranks of the army.

Forum - View topicINTEREST: Her Universe Collaborates With Ghibli For Clothing Line
Note: this is the discussion thread for this article

Posts: 632
YES!!!! At long last!!!! I've been telling my parents for months "Oh if only Studio Ghibli does what Disney is doing with Hot Topic" and BAM out of no where here it is! Oh I'm so excited! And being from a very rural area I'm fortunate to live in a town that's surrounded by bigger towns that have Hot Topics! That makes things a lot easier! But please don't stop at Totoro and Kiki. Throw in "Spirited Away", "Castle in the Sky", "Ponyo" and "Howl's Moving Castle"! You're going the right direction so don't stop yet!

|I'd buy the Totoro dress I think. Though I have no idea where a Hot Topic is near me. All the ones I used to know of in several cities closed. I was sort of thinking the company was almost dead. Maybe I'll try online. The idea makes me wish I could get licensed fabrics to make something myself.

Teacher Aide Programs
Teacher Aide programs prepare students to assist teachers with the myriad tasks necessary to make classrooms function properly. Teacher aides are also known as paraeducators and paraprofessionals, and they may supervise children in classrooms or other academic settings, perform clerical tasks, and write down students' grades. Training in this discipline is available in the form of a certificate or degree that shows the student has developed the academic and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed as a teacher aide and a valued member of the instruction team within a school system.
Programs are available in academic locations, in-person classes, study groups, and as an online course. Students typically have a number of written assignments. Satisfactory completion of this program gives graduates the opportunity to enhance the quality of education students receive by supporting the teacher in classrooms and other educational settings. Graduates enhance their knowledge of pedagogical processes and related skills. They help more students realize their potential and receive a higher quality education.
