Industry veterans and newcomers were on hand Friday night at Hotel Palomar to receive awards at the Dallas Film Society Honors dinner, the annual event held to honor the best and brightest of the Dallas International Film Festival.
Among the highlights:
Director William Friedkin and his wife, studio executive Sherry Lansing, accepted their Dallas Star Awards. Lansing, the first woman to run a major Hollywood studio, was honored by a short film celebrating her work as a producer, an executive and a philanthropist. It was narrated by Tom Cruise, prompting DIFF artistic director James Faust to joke that its budget exceeded that of the other festival films combined.
Visibly moved by the affection shown his wife — "That means more to me than anything else," he said — Friedkin heaped praise on the festival before getting in a quip of his own: "I'm certain I got this award for the image of Dallas I delivered in Killer Joe," referring to his 2011 film about a deranged Dallas cop (Matthew McConaughey) and a murderous family.
Former Dallasite Yen Tan's Pit Stop won the award for best Texas film. Tan had already gone back to Austin, but producer Eric Steele reached him by cellphone from the podium, leading to some comically indecipherable excitement.
The festival's narrative Grand Jury Prize went to A Teacher, directed by Hannah Fidell. Roger Ross Williams' God Loves Uganda won the documentary Grand Jury Prize.

MIRROR, MIRROR; The Anthropologist Of Dressing Rooms
By Penelope Green
Published: May 2, 1999
IN a dressing room deep in the men's department of Macy's in Paramus, N.J., a lone linty french fry nuzzled a balled-up Kleenex. A few cardboard strips, discarded from shirt collars, beckoned from across the maroon carpet. Straight pins glinted shyly under a bench.
Paco Underhill, retail anthropologist and passionate shoppers' advocate, gave me a withering look. Macy's, the look said, wasn't doing its job, and he was mad about it. ''Righteous anger,'' Mr. Underhill had explained earlier, ''is very much a part of my personal universe.''
He stomped out of the dressing room -- at 6-foot-4, Mr. Underhill is good at making a point with his body.
Nobody feels a shopper's pain more acutely than Mr. Underhill, the 47-year-old founder of Envirosell, a market research company that studies shopping habits, and a disciple of the late urban anthropologist William H. Whyte. As Whyte did, Mr. Underhill applies the field-study methods of a behavioral scientist.
Envirosell researchers, known as trackers, follow shoppers around stores, recording their every twist and sidle, their every pat and fondle of the merchandise. Their notes are supplemented by miles of what Mr. Underhill calls ''the most boring'' videotape, to understand how people navigate stores, and what attracts or repels them.
In a new book, ''Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping'' (Simon & Schuster), Mr. Underhill reveals that Americans walk the way they drive -- on the right -- and so they habitually veer to the right aisles of a store. (Australians and the British, by contrast, veer to the left.)
Mr. Underhill knows that most people, especially women, don't like to be jostled or nudged on their bottoms when they are shopping, and they will walk away even if they might have been interested in buying. (When Mr. Underhill first observed this ''butt-brush factor'' at Bloomingdale's and described it to the store's president, a tie rack was moved out of a narrow traffic lane, and, in the following weeks, Mr. Underhill said, sales of ties soared.)
Mr. Underhill knows that 65 percent of men who take jeans into a dressing room to try them on will buy them, and that only 25 percent of women will. And he knows that a woman shopping with a man will spend less time in a store than if shopping alone, or with a friend, or even a child.
What all this means if you are an American retailer is that it makes sense to offer your best merchandise on the right side of the store, in aisles wide enough for two-way traffic, and to give men a place to sit and something to do in stores that sell mostly to women.
It is difficult to name a major American retailer that Mr. Underhill has not admonished -- I mean advised. Executives of the Disney Store were exhorted to crawl through their aisles on hands and knees to see displays from a child's viewpoint, and to rearrange the goods accordingly. Mr. Underhill charges from $30,000 to the high six figures for a store study, and much of his advice borders on the obvious. Still, clients like Starbucks, the Gap, AT&T, Estee Lauder, Walgreen's, Apple and Citibank have all hired Envirosell.
John Lombardi, the executive vice president for creative services at Revlon, an Envirosell client, is a believer. ''Here's an obvious thing, and that is that as the population ages, as our customer ages, the bottom 13 inches of a shelf of products gets harder and harder for her to reach,'' Mr. Lombardi said. ''And so, you zone your products so they can be reached. You extend that information into type size and package design. You sort of know these things, but you don't realize it or do anything about it until somebody says it. I love Paco's work. His -- what do you call it? -- retail intelligence is just invaluable information. You can't make this stuff up.''
Macy's was but one of a dozen stores Mr. Underhill and I visited on a recent Saturday at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus. (''As researchers of shopping, we routinely sacrifice our weekends,'' Mr. Underhill said sternly.)
He took me on a tour of dressing rooms to prove a point, namely that it is here that most retailers fall on their faces. ''A dressing room is the closing place,'' he said. ''It's where you make the commitment -- where the sale happens -- and very few stores seem to understand that.''
First stop, the Disney Store. Zero dressing rooms! Even though Disney's retail chain has begun selling clothes, not just T-shirts. Mr. Underhill was furious, and it hardly mattered that Disney is a client; he is as wonderfully abusive to clients as to nonclients. ''I get mad when they're dumb,'' he said.
Sondra Haley, the vice president for publicity and promotions for the chain, declined to comment, citing company policy ''not to comment on the work of our consultants.''
Mr. Underhill has a checklist of features for what makes a dressing room successful: adjustable, flattering lighting; ample room to turn around in and to park a stroller; a ''chair plant,'' a place for a companion to sit, and something for that companion to do (toys for children or magazines for men). Not least, it should be clean.

Old English stede meant 'place'. From a Germanic source, it is related to Dutch stad 'town', German Statt 'place', from an Indo-European root shared by the verb stand. Instead (Middle English) is simply 'in stead, in place of' run together. The adjective steadfast [Old English] is literally 'standing firm'; a homestead (Old English) is your 'home place'; while if you are steady (Middle English) you are not easily moved from your place.

Cheyenne, WY (KGWN) - The below freezing temperatures affecting Cheyenne residents, are also affecting their cars. As temperatures plunge, air molecules shrink, causing tires to deflate at a faster rate. And when temperatures drop more than 40 degrees overnight, it can speed up that process even more.
Check your tire pressure more often than usual -- the air pressure can fluctuate from five to ten pounds in colder temperatures. If pressure is low, fill the tires immediately, if you continue to drive on a low tire, it can cause damage to the rim and the tire, and may need to be replaced rather than repaired.
Filling tires with nitrogen makes them deflate slower, so ask a tire store or garage about using a different gas.

MINER -- Miner city officials are looking for a price tag for fixing the city's drainage problems.
Norman Lambert, city engineer, presented information on addressing drainage issues at Causey's Lawn Care to the Miner Board of Alderman during their regular monthly meeting Tuesday.
Lambert advised the Board that the problem involved a wider scope and that drainage improvements were also needed for the gas station and grocery store located in that area.
He said addressing the drainage problems there would cost about $22,000.
Board member Deloris Smith said the city should first address drainage problems citizens are having before helping businesses out.
Lambert agreed that "if we do it for one, we need to do it for all."
Alderman Terry Cole then suggested Lambert get figures together for taking care of all the drainage problems in the city.
"I'd like to know what it would cost," Cole said.
The Board agreed and directed Lambert to gather those figures for consideration during next month's regular meeting.

Private Equity To Keep Shopping in Retail: Citi
Consumer goods retailer Harvey Norman and Specialty Fashion Group are private equity targets due to high potential internal rates of return, or IRR, according to Citigroup.
Though Pacific Brands and Billabong also stand out for Citi, both have already received unsolicited approaches from KKR & Co. and TPG Capital respectively this year.
The broker notes that all four retailers trade on fiscal 2013 price earnings multiples of less than 10 times.
"In retail, we see three areas of interest for private equity: margin recovery stories; under-valued asset plays; and cash flow generators. Billabong and Specialty Fashion are the two companies with scope for margin recovery. Asset plays are typically made around property holdings, with most significance for David Jones and Harvey Norman, relative to total assets," Citi analyst Craig Woolford said in a note.
Stocks not flashing on Citi's screen as screaming opportunities for private equity are Woolworths, Super Retail Group, Oroton and Myer while those showing some form of attractiveness include Warehouse Group, Premier Investments and David Jones.
Citi's assumptions include a 30% takeover premium from the last traded share price on Mar. 5, an exit multiple equivalent to the acquisition multiple, a holding period of three years and a a cost of debt of 8%. The broker also assumes the use of a high level of debt of around four times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA.
Based on fixed charges cover, with scope for re-gearing, JB Hi-Fi, David Jones, Metcash and Harvey Norman stand out to Citi while retailers with the highest free cash flow yield are David Jones, JB Hi-Fi, Myer, Specialty Fashion Group and Pacific Brands.
Ignoring individual analysis, Citi produced a five-pronged scorecard ranking companies on attributes like whether a substantial shareholder could block a deal, feasibility of cash flow generation and working capital release.
For readers unfamiliar with Specialty Fashion Group, it has a market value of A$94 million and operates brands such as La Senza, Katies and Millers. If it does attract private equity interest, its likely the funds will be of a smaller size than those that eye Harvey Norman, which has a market value of A$2.1 billion.

FILE - In this Feb. 28, 2011, file photo, former cycling champion Lance Armstrong smiles during a news conference at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Armstrong is asking a federal court to block the latest doping charges against him. The seven-time Tour de France winner filed a lawsuit in Austin, Texas, on Monday, July 9, 2012. Through his attorneys, he argues the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency violates the constitutional rights of athletes when it brings charges against them, and that USADA should not be allowed to pursue charges Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs during his career.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- A massive wildfire in Gila National Forest is getting even bigger.
Fire officials say the Whitewater-Baldy Complex fire grew by several thousand acres Saturday to an estimated 100,000 acres. That's more than 150 square miles.
The blaze is in remote and difficult terrain and is being fueled by strong and erratic winds.
Firefighters say that so far, containment is still 0 percent,.
The evacuation of Mogollon, a privately owned ghost town, was ordered Saturday due to extreme wind.
Cities as far away as Albuquerque are under a health alert until Sunday afternoon due to smoke from the fire, which has spread across the state.

Yawn, eh?

Eh, I've stood in the door of a C130 at 125 knots, bouncing through the turbulence running up on the dropzone at about the same altitude... best part of the job.

Entertainment robots in theme park environments typically do not allow
for physical interaction and contact with guests. However, catching and
throwing back objects is one form of physical engagement that still
maintains a safe distance between the robot and participants. Using a
theme park type animatronic humanoid robot, we developed a test bed for a
throwing and catching game scenario. We use an external camera system
(ASUS Xtion PRO LIVE) to locate balls and a Kalman filter to predict ball
destination and timing. The robot's hand and joint-space are
calibrated to the vision coordinate system using a least-squares
technique, such that the hand can be positioned to the predicted
location. Successful catches are thrown back two and a half meters
forward to the participant, and missed catches are detected to trigger
suitable animations that indicate failure. Human to robot partner
juggling (three ball cascade pattern, one hand for each partner) is also
achieved by speeding up the catching/throwing cycle. We tested the
throwing/catching system on six participants (one child and five adults,
including one elderly), and the juggling system on three skilled

Baker set to play golf at Denison University
BRUCE MORGAN Record Express Sports Editor
, Staff Writer
When it came time for Warwick's Drew Baker to make a decision about college, his choice really wasn't that hard.
Although he had visited Lancaster's Franklin & Marshall College and Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., it was Denison University (Granville, Ohio) that emerged as the best fit.
"(Denison) is a liberal arts school and they just had a lot of different opportunities," said Baker, of Warwick's Class of 2013. "We had a family friend that went there and loved it and just got a great education. So you just couldn't beat it. The scores that I had fit in well there and I think I can be productive and successful at that school."
That goes for playing on the Division-Three Big Red golf team as well. A three-time District Three qualifier during his career at Warwick, Baker placed tied for third at the L-L Championships last fall with a 75 and eventually earned his first-ever berth to the PIAA Eastern Regionals.
He joins a Denison golf team that finished seventh in May in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championship Series.
One of the attractions at Denison is that the school's new athletic center includes an indoor golf training room with a new golf simulator.
"I would like to start a few matches as a freshman," Baker said when asked about his goals in college. "We have a big freshman class – five incoming freshmen, the coach (Rodney Butt) likes all of us and he said he'd give us some playing time. But I want to be consistent, be in that starting five that they have there and just get better individually, but help the team as much as I can too because it's a team effort."
Baker acknowledged that he would like to improve on all parts of his game, but his short game, in particular.
"Short game for sure," he said. "It's always short game. You've got to be able to putt and chip. The short game keeps you in it. If you hit good irons, if you hit good drives, that's what wins tournaments, but putting will always keep you there."
Baker, who averaged a 77.1 during the L-L season last fall, is no stranger to hard work. And it should help his cause that he competed against the likes of reigning PIAA State individual champ Craig Hornberger of Manheim Township in high school.
"I go into every tournament thinking I can win," Baker said, "but you've got to have that realistic goal in mind too that you're only as good as you practice, and I practice a lot and I work really hard. But I think I can compete with all the guys here. I played with Craig and I can see how I can get to his level, but also (my goal has to be) playing my own game and not forgetting what I want to do."
As a D-III school, Denison didn't have any athletic scholarship money available, but Baker was able to obtain academic assistance to attend the school, which is located near Columbus, Ohio. He committed at the end of February under early decision period after visiting the campus, roughly seven hours away, during the winter months.
"They gave me a nice scholarship there, so it's manageable for my parents and I to go there," Baker said. "Everyone is so nice there and they have a lot of good facilities … Denison was a good fit. I get to see a different part of the U.S. too."

Taxing Times for Cameron
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron's insistence in Davos that a financial transactions tax would be "madness" was particularly striking because if the EU were to press ahead with the idea, and the U.K. were to opt out, the U.K. economy would receive a huge boost.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum Thursday, Cameron said that "even to be considering this at a time when we are struggling to get our economies growing is quite simply madness." And he quoted "the European Commission's own original analysis that showed a financial transactions tax could reduce the GDP of the EU by €200 billion, cost nearly 500,000 jobs and force as much as 90% of some markets away from the EU."
That may well be the case but it ignores the possibility of the EU pressing ahead while the U.K. opts out, and that was the precise subject of a report earlier this week by Vicky Redwood, chief U.K. economist at the London-based consultancy Capital Economics.
In "How would a European Tobin Tax affect the U.K." she wrote that if the tax caused 10% of all wholesale financial activity in the EU to migrate abroad and, say, half of that went to the U.K. (with perhaps Switzerland benefiting from the rest) the U.K. would be boosted by €7 billion or £6 billion.
"That would be the equivalent of 5% of financial services output and 0.5% of GDP. Not insignificant in other words," said Ms. Redwood.
However, she added that the U.K. might find that using its veto over the Tobin tax reduced its influence at EU negotiations on other matters concerning the financial sector. "What's more, there are plenty of other factors likely to keep a constraint on growth in the financial services sector – including extra regulation, potential losses on euro-zone exposures and the rises in funding costs," Ms. Redwood said.
That prospect of extra regulation was again emphazised in Davos by Mr. Cameron, who said: "Of course it's right that the financial sector should pay their share. In the U.K. we are doing exactly that through our bank levies and stamp duty on shares. And these are options which other countries can adopt."

OOH LA LA --- Take 1 and 2
Two weekends in a row I had the pleasure of teaching 16 lovely ladies the basics of working with fine silver clay.
At the request of a Southern California art group, I opened up an additional weekend of teaching Oh La La so they could plan a fun art weekend together. What an amazing, talented group! Julie and Cindy are missing from the photo above, but their presence was not. There was so much positive, crazy energy going on all weekend.
Oh, Julie....there you are.
Look at Carolyn's fabulous pieces....I don't think this was your first time working with fine silver clay Carolyn!
The second weekend started off with my sweet friend, Charlene, from Texas and mutual friend, Sandy, arriving in town a few days early. That gave us plenty of time to visit over a leisurely lunch and dinner beforehand. Oh how I am blessed with good friends.
Here is the OOH LA LA class Take 2...another amazing group of women!
Charlene's great pieces!
Susan's loot....I think she has a plan going here...don't you?
Now that my classes are completed until the end of October when my friend, Riki, and I will be team teaching "Bezelicious"...... my time and attention is focused on creating a fall collection of jewelry for the stores I design for. Here are the colors I have selected for fall....amber and eggplant. Aren't they yummy!!! Recently picked up the beauties above at the Gem Faire in Santa Barbara. Love Citrine, Amethyst, Spider Agate, and Ametrine.
By the way there are a few spaces left in "Bezelicious" if you would like to come and learn all about creating bezels. Just contact me and we will reserve you a spot. And while you are thinking about classes, take a few minutes to visit Riki's E-Workshops Blog and see what that girl has up her sleeve.
Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend...always great to have a long weekend off. For me "Labor" Day means something quite different other than the original definition of this holiday. For me 39 years ago I was actually "in labor" wtih my dear son, Jeremy.....certainly another reason to have a holiday celebration!!

What's the asthma treatment for children?
Answer by:
WebMD Expert
Avoiding triggers, using medications, and keeping an eye on daily asthma symptoms are the ways to control asthma in children of all ages. Children with asthma should always be kept away from all sources of smoke. Proper use of medication is the basis of good asthma control.
Based on your child's history and the severity of asthma, his or her doctor will develop an Asthma Action Plan and give you a written copy. This plan describes when and how your child should use asthma medications, what to do when asthma gets worse, and when to seek emergency care for your child. Make sure you understand this plan and ask your child's doctor about any questions you may have.
Your child's written Asthma Action Plan is important to successfully controlling his or her asthma. Keep it handy to remind you of your child's daily asthma management plan, as well as to guide you when your child develops asthma symptoms. Also make sure your child's caregiver and/or school teacher has a copy of the Asthma Action Plan, so they will know how to treat the child's symptoms if he or she should have an asthma attack away from home.

The Blue-headed Vireo name, formerly applied to one subspecies in the Solitary Vireo complex, now designates this recognized species, following the division of that group into three species (American Ornithologists' Union 1997). The split follows recent molecular genetic studies (Murray et al. 1994, Johnson 1995) that demonstrated differences in well-recognized plumage types among Plumbeous (V. plumbeus), Cassin's (V. cassinii), and Blue-headed vireos.
The Blue-headed Vireo is widely distributed across Canada and at elevations above 400 m in the eastern United States. It is the only vireo within its range that makes extensive use of coniferous forests, although it also occupies deciduous habitats. Over most of the range of this species pairs are typically widely spaced. It prefers relatively mature and extensive forests, with an understory of shrubs and small trees where its nests are suspended well below the canopy. This vireo forages mainly at mid height in a forest, moving slowly among branches from which much of its food is secured. It is also adept at snatching insect prey from leaves and twigs while in flight.
Surveys suggest that this species has been increasing steadily in the past 4-5 decades (Sauer et al. 2011), perhaps because formerly logged forests are regenerating into acceptable habitat. Remote nesting habits and typically sparse populations in most areas, however, have hindered study of this bird. We have begun to explore foraging, breeding biology, habitat use, and behavior in some areas (James 1978, 1979b, 1981, 1984,Rabenold 1978, Sabo 1980, Robinson and Holmes 1982, Morton et al. 1998, 2010), although more detailed studies would be fruitful.

Del moody Chesapeake Va.
Will Snow Phoebus Va.
Robbie has been performing with Salt Marsh since the original band was formed in 1996. Born and raised on "Bull Island" which is surrounded by the coastal marshes of the Chesapeake Bay which are the namesake for the band. He still lives there with his wife Violet and dog Talley. The "mouth" of the group Robbie sings lead and harmony vocals and holds down the rhythm and "G-runs" on his D-28 Marquise.
A strong supporter of the traditional sounds of Monroe, Martin, Flatt and Scruggs, and the Stanleys, Robbie also enjoys the contemporary sounds of IIIrd Thyme Out, Josh Williams and the gospel influenced styles of Doyle Lawson and Paul Williamswith solid harmony vocals.
Larry formally played banjo for South Wind Bluegrass makes his home in Williamsburg Va. Larry plays his Gibson Master Tone with that hard drive just like Earl Scruggs.
Originally from Virginia Beach Va., Del moved to Dillon Colorado, and started playing guitar at the age of 36, while listening to the sounds of the Hot Rize Band. After hearing Hot Rise Del decided to start a bluegrass gospel band named the Gospel Bluegrass Group Faithful Calling. The next band Del decided to assemble was a band called Timberline Bluegrass. Timberline traveled the Colorado Bluegrass circuit and recorded that wonderful CD named Narrow Road on Hayholler Records. Being away from Virginia for years Del decided to move back to Virginia in 2010, and now lives in Chesapeake Virginia. When hearing the sounds of Salt Marsh, Del felt his bluegrass roots calling again and decded joined the Salt Marsh, this time playing the bass and singing lead and tenor. Salt Marsh is very happy to have Del picking with them now.
Originally from Phoebus Will grew up playing guitar in church on Sunday mornings. During the week he would listening to country and bluegrass music on WCMS radio with DJ Joe Hopple. While listening to all the different bluegrass styles he decided to learn how to play this great sounding music. He started with a banjo, then bass, and onto fiddle. Not only inspired by the professionals on the radio he had a lot of good local friends help him playing the music he loved. Formally band founder and leader of New Dominion Bluegrass, Will is proud to have new friends with the Saltmarsh band where he plays a Gibson F5 1974 Mandolin with a touch of that Bill Monroe sound mixed with his own style. Will is very proud to be playing with Saltmarsh.
