People give back to their community by donating money and time to help organizations that have helped them or their families or to support causes they believe in. Many people also contribute to organizations or participate in fundraising events because it gives them an opportunity to network while doing good. Often it is a combination of these motivations, but the net result is the same, when people volunteer, the entire community benefits from their efforts.

HILLSBORO — The Baker Bulldogs have engineered some big wins over the past four seasons, but none quite as dramatic as Saturday's 35-29, triple-overtime thriller over Cascade in the OSAA Class 4A semifinals at Hillsboro Stadium.
The Bulldogs will play in their third title game in four years on Saturday against first-time finalist North Bend. Both teams are known as the Bulldogs.
Baker (10-1) led 29-13 in the fourth quarter, but Cascade (10-2) of Turner rattled off 16 points in 25 seconds to tie the game, capped off by a 42-yard fumble return by Justin Kruse.
Neither team could break through in the first two overtimes. Baker's Dane Bachman, who caught 14 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown, lined up for a 23-yard field goal to win the game in the second extra period, but he pulled it left.
Baker quarterback Braden Phillips, who threw for 302 yards, scored on a five-yard run in the third overtime to put the Bulldogs up 35-29, but the extra point was missed. On Cascade's ensuing possession, quarterback Cody Crawford's desperation pass into the end zone on fourth down fell to the turf and Baker celebrated as a dense fog obscured the view from the stands.
Earlier in the day, the North Bend Bulldogs advanced to their first state football championship game in school history, pulling away late to beat Ontario 29-8.
The final four in 4A was a bit unexpected, as each of the top five teams in the OSAA rankings lost in previous rounds, including Portland-area teams Scappoose (which lost to Baker), Gladstone and defending 4A champion La Salle Prep.
No. 11 Ontario (9-3) beat La Salle last week in Milwaukie, but the return trip to the metro area wasn't nearly as successful as quarterback Trampis Waite threw six interceptions in Saturday's semifinal loss. Three of those picks led to North Bend touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter that broke open a tight game.
Quarterback Hamilton Mateski threw for 255 yards and four touchdowns for North Bend (11-1), which had never previously advanced past the state quarterfinals. North Bend's Bulldogs, who came in seventh in the OSAA rankings, have won nine straight games, including a 10-7 upset of Gladstone in the quarterfinals.

If you have never had a vegetable garden before, this year is the year to do it.
Grocery prices are encouragement enough; gas prices are high and grain reserves low so food prices won't be coming down anytime soon. Plus, growing your own provides a degree of satisfaction that is hard to come by otherwise.
A few weeks ago I got a letter from a woman in Louisiana who had read one of my books.
Sometimes when you write books people think you know stuff, that you have special wisdom and answers to their problems.
I'll let you in on a secret: We don't, at least I don't. I can put words together and make them sound pretty and sometimes I have a thought or two that may or may not be helpful to some people, but mostly I think that I don't.

Cardiovascular Metabolism and Complications
Group leaders are Drs. Daniel Rader and Zoltan Arany
This Scientific focus of the DRC is linked to the IDOM Cardiovascular Metabolism Unit.
The mission of the Penn DRC includes understanding, preventing, and treating the complications of diabetes. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death of diabetics and patients with insulin resistance, is a particular emphasis of the DRC. Penn DRC investigators also have expertise in neurological, ophthamological, and renal complications of diabetes.
Highlights From 2006-Present:
Penn DRC investigators explore many aspects of diabetic complications, and have become particularly interested in metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance syndrome and its role in cardiovascular disease. The Transgenic and Chimeric Mouse, Mouse Phenotyping, Physiology, and Metabolism, RIA/Biomarker, and Viral Vector Cores have been essential for the success of this Focus Area. Three research highlight areas during the past period are noted below, all translational or potentially translational to humans.
Highlight one: Control of serum cholesterol levels in humans. Dr. Rader's group elegantly demonstrated that loss of function mutations in endothelial lipase increase serum HDL cholesterol in humans (Edmondson JCI 2009), while elegantly providing the mechanism by which LDL cholesterol levels are regulated by a SNP that alteres expression of the sortilin gene (Musunuru Nature 2010).
Highlight two: Role of phospholipase A2 in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. Dr. Wilensky has developed a diabetic pig model that, unlike murine models, develops atherosclerosis in a manner similar to human diabetics. Using this model in collaboration with Dr. Mohler, he demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of phospholipase A2 reduced coronary atherosclerosis, suggesting a potential new therapy for macrovascular disease in diabetics (Wilensky Nature Medicine 2008).
Highlight three: Translational research in microvascular diabetic complications. Diabetic ophthalmopathy is the leading cause of blindness, and Dr. Bennett's pioneering work in ocular gene therapy has led to exciting new treatments for a rare condition (Leber's congenital amaurosis) that represent proof-of-concept for ocular gene therapy in more common diabetic eye disease (Maquire NEJM 2008; Maguire, Lancet 2009). In addition, Drs. Feldman led an NIDDK-sponsored study demonstrating that dipyridamole plus aspirin reducing the risk of stenosis in hemodialysis grafts in a patient population with a large number of diabetics (Dixon NEJM 2009).

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in the Western world. The prevalence of angina and proportion of deaths from CAD is higher among women than men.1,2 Despite this, the perception that CAD is a man's disease prevails.3- 5 Historic faulty assumptions in the construct of angina, failure to systematically include women in clinical studies, and differences in age-specific incidence rates have perpetuated this perception.5,6 As a result, the term typical angina has evolved to describe symptoms in men, whereas atypical angina is applied to women. This lack of clarity has been a source of controversy in understanding CAD in women.
We developed a new theory and construct of angina by scaling symptom expression according to sex and gender along a continuum. The objective of this study was to quantify male-typical vs female-typical angina symptoms as they range along a continuum among patients with obstructive CAD.
We studied patients with suspected CAD and/or angina and at least 1 prior abnormal cardiac test result who underwent their first coronary angiogram. A previously developed validated standardized cardiac assessment tool captured patient risk factors and symptoms. An experienced angiographer blinded to patient identifiers interpreted the angiographic findings. Obstructive CAD was defined as the presence of at least 1 vessel 2.0 mm or larger in diameter with at least 70% stenosis.
Baseline characteristics including age, cardiac risk factors, and coronary anatomy were compared between women and men. Symptoms were analyzed according to sex/gender and obstructive CAD angiographic results. Continuous and dichotomous variables were compared using 2-tailed t tests and χ2 tests, respectively (IBM SPSS19, IBM). A predetermined sample size of 210 was estimated to provide 80% power at P < .05 (2-sided).
From June through November 2010, 128 men and 109 women were enrolled. Traditional risk factors were present in 118 participants (50% of the sample). Women were slightly older (mean [SD] age, 67.5 [10.8] vs 64.5 [11.5] years; P = .06), more likely to have normal coronary arteries (22 of 109 [20%] vs 10 of 128 [8%]; P = .004), and less likely to have obstructive CAD (50 of 109 [46%] vs 89 of 128 [70%]; P < .001) when compared with men. Men were more likely to be past smokers (77 of 128 [60%] vs 45 of 109 [41%]; P < .001).
We mapped reported symptoms onto a continuum according to sex and gender (Figure). The most common descriptors used by men and women with obstructive CAD included "chest pain" (71 of 87 [82%] vs 42 of 50 [84%]; P = .72), "pressure" (47 of 87 [54%] vs 29 of 50 [58%]; P = .65), and "tightness" (37 of 87 [43%] vs 29 of 50 [58%]; P = .08), respectively. Women used certain descriptions approximately twice as often as men, including "discomfort" (23 of 50 [46%] vs 24 of 87 [28%]; P = .03), "crushing" (12 of 50 [24%] vs 8 of 87 [9%;]; P = .02), "pressing" (14 of 50 [28%] vs 12 of 87 [14%]; P = .04), and "bad ache" (15 of 50 [30%] vs 13 of 87 [15%]; P = .04).
Figure. Continuum of symptoms according to sex and gender among patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. *Women vs men, P < .05; no significant differences in symptoms between men and women with shared experiences.
Men and women reported pain in the same areas outside the chest region, including the arms (37 of 87 [43%] vs 25 of 50 [50%]; P = .40), back (23 of 87 [26%] vs 15 of 50 [30%]; P = .65), and shoulders (28 of 87 [32%] vs 13 of 50 [26%]; P = .45), respectively.
Other symptoms reported by men and women included shortness of breath (58 of 87 [67%] vs 38 of 50 [76%]; P = .25), fatigue (49 of 87 [56%] vs 31 of 50 [62%]; P = .52), sweating (42 of 87 [48%] vs 23 of 50 [46%]; P = .80), and weakness (28 of 87 [32%] vs 23 of 50 [46%]; P = .11), respectively. Women were more likely to report dry mouth (17 of 50 [34%] vs 16 of 87 [18%]; P = .04), whereas men did not report any symptoms significantly more often than women.
By mapping reported symptoms along a continuum, we have shown that angina-type symptoms are remarkably similar among men and women with obstructive CAD. This suggests that the clinical construct of "atypical angina" in women is incorrect. Furthermore, the descriptors more commonly expressed by women were not unique to women; men expressed them also. The choice of terms used to describe a symptom may be a function of gendered language rather than of conventionally portrayed biological sex difference. In contrast, among the seemingly biological symptoms, such as non–chest localization of pain, we observed no differences between men and women. The continuum thus allows for the gendered expression of a symptom while not constraining the symptom to a particular sex.
Previous studies have focused on establishing differences in symptoms between men and women, between typical and atypical angina. Our data show the predominance of similar symptoms between men and women. By presenting these terms on a continuum, our study demonstrates the commonalities in cardiac symptomatology for men and women, while also allowing for gendered differences in how these experiences may be expressed, providing more meaningful diagnostic information than conventional "typical" vs "atypical" distinctions.
Our study is internally valid because symptoms were validated against the gold standard, coronary angiography. Our modest sample size is sufficiently powered; in addition, our study represents "real-world" practice and is one of the few prospective studies of cardiac symptoms to date.
In conclusion, the symptom continuum according to sex and gender has empirically demonstrated the substantial overlap of shared symptoms between men and women with obstructive CAD. This information can help clinicians to better contextualize symptoms associated with obstructive CAD rather than adhering to the conventional "typical" and "atypical" angina distinction. Future studies should seek to test and validate the symptom continuum according to gender in diverse patient populations.

PRINCETON —When about 40 people sit down at Mediterra Restaurant and Taverna and sip wine with their Israeli-inspired dishes tonight, a local residents group says they'll be promoting a winery that violates human rights and international law.
The restaurant on Hulfish Street in Princeton is holding a sold-out event that will pair wines produced by Tal Pelter in the northern Golan Heights region of Israel, an area the residents group says has been settled illegally by Israelis who have been exploiting the native people's land and resources for economic gain since it captured the land from Syria and placed it under military law in 1967.
"The wine is being produced illegally in illegal territory by illegal settlers that have taken from the people there," said Marilyn Jerry, a Princeton resident opposed to Mediterra's decision to feature the wine. "Such settlements are illegal because international law prohibits an occupier from expelling the native population and settling its own people."
Jerry and others plan to arrive at the event prior to its 6 p.m. start and hand out pamphlets to attendees as they enter Mediterra, informing them of the winery's background, Jerry said.
"We'll be there explain to people what's wrong with the wine," she said. "Golan Heights is a perfect microclimate for wine grapes, but the settlers continue to move in more of their own people and use the land and water that belongs to the native population."
When Israelis began occupying the Golan region nearly 50 years ago, about 153,000 people lived there who relied heavily on the land to survive, Jerry said. The native population has been reduced to about 18,000 today, she said.
But Carmine DePasquale, Mediterra's general manager, said by featuring the Pelter wine, no political stance is being taken. Instead, he said, they're serving it because of its quality.
"Mediterra is not by any means promoting any illegal activity," DePasquale said. "Our point of holding this event is to showcase the quality of the wine and the winemaker's talents."
The wine-dinner pairing event is one of a series that Mediterra hosts throughout the year, featuring winemakers and other specialty food producers from around the world. Its wine list includes selections from Israel, Morocco, Turkey, Lebanon, South America, South Africa, California and Europe, DePasquale said.
DePasquale noted the Pelter wines have been on the restaurant's menu for two years, and the wines can also be found in many U.S. restaurants, including in New York City, Atlantic City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In Europe, they are offered at some Michelin restaurants in Belgium, Holland and Denmark, he said.
"In regard to the winery, the Pelter family has turned formerly barren land into productive vineyards, which now contributes to the economic development of the region," DePasquale said.
For more information about the event, visit Mediterra's website.

Thank God it's Thursday
Deaglán de Bréadún
Having written a piece in Tuesday's paper that the cabinet "reshuffle" would not take place that day and probably not the next, I feel a certain sense of relief at being proved right. Thank God it's Thursday!
Brian Cowen has shown himself eminently capable of springing surprises so I wouldn't put money on any particular day, but it does look like Wednesday March 23rd, just a few days before the Green Party convention/annual conference in Waterford that weekend.
It can't really be next week, according to conventional thinking, because ministers will already be heading off to distant destinations for the St Patrick's Day events, many of which take place before March 17th.
It would be quite a coup for the Greens to get a second junior minister, although FF backbenchers will go mad – though they are still very unlikely to vote against the Government. Seems unlikely, but you never know. I'm putting "reshuffle" in quotation marks because there is no evidence at this stage that it is going to be a sweeping change.
Despite all the internal turmoil in the Greens, it is difficult to see them walking out of government. Better wait for the economy to pick up and then pack your bags.
Interesting result in last night's election for chairman of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party. Tom Hayes was ousted by Galway veteran Padraig McCormack with the young Joe McHugh from Donegal in third place. The voting was: First Count, McCormack 26; Hayes 19; McHugh 15. Ten of McHugh's votes went to McCormack and four to Hayes (I've got them mixed up: it was actually the other way round, as Barbera points out below) with one non-transferable, making it 30 for McCormack and 29 to Hayes. Close or what!?

 The thing about storing a lot of energy as kinetic energy is that
 you're sitting on a system that contains a lot of energy. We know how
 to handle fuels, chemical potential energy, we've got quite a bit of
 experience in dealing with that, but if you think about a gallon of
 gasoline as enough energy to propel two tons of steel twenty five
 miles, then you have to think about a flywheel with equivalent energy
 as capable of doing the same thing.

 There. In your basement. Just waiting for a bearing to go bad and go
 screaming through your foundation and bouncing off whatever other
 critical equipment you may be running in your basement.

 A few years ago I was thinking about energy storage technologies for
 Burning Man. Most people brought a car or even a big SUV, parked it
 for the week. What if we had a simple vehicle lift, use photovoltaics
 to lift that big weight into the air, let it down slowly and generate
 power from it at night.

 Call an SUV 2,000 kilograms. In earth gravity that's 19600 newtons,
 lifted two meters that's 39200 joules. Release that over an hour, you
 get whopping ten or eleven watts back out. So a hundred watts means
 you've got to be lifting that SUV 20 meters into the air, or lifting
 10 SUVs over your head. Running a data center means you have to start
 lifting and lowering your building.

 Storing that as kinetic energy means that rather than lifting those
 SUVs up into the air, you're storing that in a way that's susceptible
 to bearing failure or materials flaws in your flywheel (as it breaks
 apart and throws chunks everywhere), and all of a sudden keeping large
 gasoline or diesel fuel stores on your roof for your genset seems a
 hell of a lot less scary.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- The skies are getting darker as a thunderstorm approaches downtown Huntsville and Big Spring Jam.
Dave Nadler, warning coordination meterologist for the National Weather Service, advises Jam fans to wait 30 minutes for a thunderstorm to pass.
The National Weather Service released a hazardous weather alert at 4:40 p.m., noting a strong thunderstorm near Belle Mina, about 7 miles northeast of Decatur. The storm is moving east at 20 mph.
Triana, Madison and Redstone Arsenal are listed as being in the path of the storm, which is dropping half-inch diameter hail and bringing winds of up to 50 mph.
Nadler said he expects heavy rain for the next 10 minutes or so, but the rain and gusty winds should clear quickly. The gates are scheduled to open on time at 5:30 p.m.
Organizers have not announced any cancellations or postponed acts, with the gates scheduled to open in about 15 minutes. Jam organizers have been optimistic about the weekend weather forecast so far.
Check out our Big Spring Jam page for continuing updates on the Jam and the weather, or sign up for free text alerts about traffic, weather and parking. Make sure you select "Big Spring Jam" to receive alerts throughout the weekend.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is the largest pre-college scientific research event in the world,[1] and is owned and administered by the Society for Science & the Public[2] a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Washington, DC.[3] Each May, more than 1500 students from roughly 70 countries and territories arrive to compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prizes, including one $75,000 and two $50,000 college scholarships. All prizes together amount to over $4,070,000.[4] Two awards ceremonies are held including: Special Awards Organization Presentation (which now includes the Government Awards Presentations) and the Grand Awards Ceremony. The International Science and Engineering Fair was founded in 1950 by Science Service (now the Society for Science & the Public) and has been sponsored by the Intel Corporation ltd. since 1997. As of 2012, seven ISEF alumni went on to win Nobel Prizes, with successful ISEF veterans including Jack Andraka and inventor Alex Deans.[5]
Although it is an international event, the United States almost always hosts it (the 1995 fair was held in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). Locations for fairs through 2019 have been decided and will rotate between Los Angeles, California; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Phoenix, Arizona. The host city prepares a convention center and arranges hotel accommodations for the event, hosts numerous events, and manages college tours around the convention center.
The 2005 Intel ISEF took place in Phoenix, Arizona, May 8–14.
In 2006 it was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 7–12.
In 2007 it was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 13–19.
In 2008 it was held in Atlanta, Georgia, May 11–17.
In 2009 it was held in Reno, Nevada, May 10–15.
In 2010 it was held in San Jose, California, May 9–14.
In 2011 it was held in Los Angeles, California, May 8–13.
In 2012 it was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 13–18.
In 2013 it was held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 12–17.
In 2014 it was held in Los Angeles, California, May 11–16.
In 2015 it was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 10-15.
In 2016 it will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 8-13.
In 2017 it will be held in Los Angeles, California, May 14-19.
In 2018 it will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 13-19.
In 2019 it will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 12-17.[6]
Contestants and Competition[edit]
Contestants are selected from regional, district, and state ISEF affiliated fairs. These fairs usually encompass multiple states or entire regions of a country. The regional fair committee is responsible for managing the fair when their city hosts the event.
Individual science projects and team science projects both compete for prizes. Teams are composed of two to as many as four high school students (grades 9-12).
The structure of the competition is as follows:
- Sunday: Arrival, project setup, fixing Display and Safety violations, and pin exchange
- Monday: Continual arrival and setup, opening ceremony
- Tuesday: Final project clearance
- Wednesday: Awards judging over 3 sessions, with both scheduled and unscheduled interviews

Ann Sammons Cole Lauffer

Memorial services will be at 7 p.m. today in Sacred Heart Cathedral. Burial will be at 11 a.m. Friday in Fairmount Cemetery by Johnson Funeral Home.
Mrs. Lauffer was born in Tulsa, Okla., on Oct. 14, 1936. Through a miscalculation, she was the first member of her family to be born outside of Texas since the late 1800s. Her parents were Frank Parish Cole and Gertrude Sammons. She graduated from Monte Cassino High School in 1954, attended the University of Tulsa for two years where she was a member of Chi Omega sorority and graduated from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with a degree in history. She married Robert Allen Lauffer in July 1960 in Cherrydale, Va.
Ann was a member of San Angelo Friends of the Environment, Animal Coalition of San Angelo, a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy and founding member of San Angelo Chapter 1223.
After Ann and Robert were married, they lived in Washington, D.C., where her first three children were born. Ann always joked that she and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had something in common: They shared the same obstetrician.
Wanting to return to Texas, the family moved first to Dallas, where two more children were born, then to Rockwall County for 20 years. Ann was a homemaker during this time, but when the children were older, she returned to school part time. She received her Texas state teaching certificate in history and English from East Texas State University in Commerce. She took great pleasure that her grades were better than her children's. After the last child graduated from Rockwall High School, Ann and Bob moved to the ranch. They lived there several years. Moving to San Angelo in 1994, she worked first at the Tom Green County Library. She then became one of the first hired at Sitel Corporation, where she was in the Quality Assurance division over five years.
Ann was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was active in the San Angelo chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the All About Animals Coalitions of San Angelo and Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish.
She loved her house, her family, her ranch and her animals. Ann always said she felt very fortunate that she enjoyed her own company. The activities she liked doing were reading, cross-stitch and needlework and crafts. She enjoyed working on her family genealogy. It was a family joke that she kept the bird seed companies in business, as she fed her backyard wild birds twice a day religiously.
Ann worked endlessly for the betterment of the animal community.
Special thanks are given to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for his endless grace, and Hospice of San Angelo, in particular, Lea Henderson and Sherry Coplen.
She was preceded in death by her husband and her parents.
Survivors include a son, Robert Allen Lauffer II and wife, Kim, of Amarillo; four daughters, Lisa Hyde of San Clemente, Calif., Karen Baack and husband, Kent, of Corinth and Debra Wilson and husband, Paul Andrew, and Laurie Vessell and husband, David, all of San Angelo; her grandchildren, Blake Lauffer of North Richland Hills, Kendall and Kyle Lauffer, both of Amarillo, Michael and Madison Hyde, both of San Clemente, Ashlyn, Grace, Anna and Gabrielle Baack, all of Corinth, and Tyler and Dylan Wilson and Jeff, Justin and Brock Vessell, all of San Angelo; and two very special members, "Little Bit" and "B.T.", her dog and cat she spent many pleasurable hours with.
The family suggests memorials be to Tom Green County Library; Animal Coalition of San Angelo; San Angelo Friends of the Environment or a favorite charity.

Don't tell me silly stories, I was there.
So I know at the end of Sacha Gervasi's "Hitchcock" whether he's telling you an important truth or not.
I stood in that long, opening day line for the first showing of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" at the downtown Paramount Theater in 1960. I was in my midteens at the time and I'll never forget our audience terror in the theater that night.
Cued by the screaming violins in Bernard Herrmann's music, there were indeed audience members who screamed and registered terror for those of us more inhibited. The screaming wasn't nearly as constant and continuous and loud as it is in Gervasi's eagerly awaited movie "Hitchcock," but I'll give the movie its props for one thing: One of its only two insights about the man I'd nominate as the single most important and influential member of his profession in America shows you what happened as the film had its opening public screening in Hitchcock's own Los Angeles.
In this fanciful version of Hitchcock, you see the maestro alone in the theater lobby listening to audience reactions to "Psycho's" traumatic shower scene. He seems to conduct the audience's overdone screams and that, in this well-acted but trivial and otherwise gruesomely fatuous film, is perhaps its smartest single moment.
That is what happened to us all � everyone who walked into a moviehouse from "Psycho" on: directors, following Hitchcock's cue, would as a class start directing the movie audience even more than the actors. That applies to all American films after 1960, whether we're talking about "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Reservoir Dogs" or "Knocked Up." Hitchcock's Pavlovian tactics on his audiences became the art form's norm instead of narratives that unfolded the way movies once did with John Ford, John Huston, Howard Hawks, Orson Welles, etc. That fundamental difference created movies as we now know them.
All of that is briefly suggested by a tiny hyperbolic moment in "Hitchcock," but true to the film's almost unbearable foolishness, nothing is made of it.
Hitchcock did other radical and epochal things with "Psycho" in 1960 � blew the movie Production Code to smithereens (something as trivial but important as the first toilet whose insides were shown on screen) and all but invented independent film in which artistic freedom would be achieved by a creator who kept total control over minimal budgets.
There are two other things about Gervasi's "Hitchcock" that aren't a thick-headed waste of everyone's time � the performances by Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Helen Mirren as Hitchcock and his wife (and former film editor) Alma Reville, and the truly important insight that in so many crucial ways, Alma was a full partner in her husband's career.
When Mirren finally erupts into her aria of loyalty to the husband who has been giving her a hard time over her relationship with screenwriter Whitfield Cook, the film not only has its greatest moment, it has the only moment � aside from Hitchcock's conducting an unseen traumatized audience like a philharmonic conductor � where it actually deserves to have its own subject.
"I'm a storyteller," said director Gervasi to me in an interview, "Hitchcock was a storyteller," a truth as pointless and misleading as a truth can be. Hitchcock was a storytelling genius; Gervasi is lucky he can even spell "genius."?What the otherwise deeply phony "Hitchcock" pretends to understand about the most important Hollywood director we're ever likely to know was simply not worth knowing. That means all those scenes that drag in Ed Gein who inspired Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho" as well as all the supposed marital jealousies that supposedly fueled Hitchcock's truly dark and sadistic streak.
What mattered about Hitchcock's sadism � and, in fact, transfigured the cinematic world � is that it was most importantly practiced on his audience.
This movie, for the most part, gives you the droll joking tone of the intros and outros to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" which can still be seen on cable TV. As mildly amusing as they always were, they are a superficial and crashing irrelevance to why the making of "Psycho" was such a dramatic story. It's a far more important story than this movie's emphasis on Hitchcock's mortgaging his house to finance the film, as dramatic a personal gamble as that was. To understand only that drama is the most crass possible understanding of Hitchcock's phenomenal, distinctive � and distinguished � art. Such stuff is passed off as all-important in a movie that, in passing, assumes "Vertigo" a failure and alludes to Orson Welles in a joke about directing Janet Leigh in "Touch of Evil." (Meanwhile, "Vertigo" was voted International Film Critics favorite film � supplanting "Citizen Kane" � during the making of this.) To say that the script of this movie has the soul of an accountant is an unnecessary slur on accountants.
"Please do not understand me too quickly" is a quote from Voltaire much loved by Norman Mailer. That is exactly what this errant, miniaturizing film does with Hitchcock � it understands him too quickly. Aside from explaining his wife's contribution to his work and making feints toward seeing him as our most Pavlovian film master, this movie, to me, understands nothing about Hitchcock that is worth understanding.
There is truly immense drama to this man, but it is possible that only critics and audience members truly get it, not crass filmmakers. (Read David Thomson's "The Moment of �Psycho' " rather than the Stephen Rebello book about the movie's making that inspired this movie.) This trivial "Access Hollywood"-style version of Hitchcock would have been a travesty had it not been for the excellence of Hopkins, Mirren, Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and Jessica Biel as Vera Miles. Far better in every important way was HBO's "The Girl," whose understanding of Hitchcock's personal sadism was nastier and less sympathetic and more controversial but, because it stuck to one person's "truth" � Tippi Hedren's � is far more consequential as a movie.
When Hitchcock used to say "it's a movie," he wasn't saying "it's junk; it doesn't matter." He was saying "we're making something that, as you watch, will seem to matter more than your very life." "Hitchcock" doesn't begin to do that. Its biggest joke is on itself; what a sadistic joke it is.

How much money you can make from camming
When it comes to working on cam, one of the biggest questions that models have is how much money can you make as a webcam performer? Well, the reality is that there are some expenses you have to consider, so perhaps the better question to keep in mind is, "How much will you be spending?" Luckily, the overhead really isn't all that much: high speed internet, basic electricity, your computer and cam plus your hosting site fees, often known as a subscription. Most of these expenses that comprise your overhead are expenses you might already be paying. Hosting site or cam platform fees will be deducted from your pay.
Also, for the latter, all of a particular live cam platform's fees are usually included in your subscription, so luckily, there's not a whole lot of math involved with that, which is helpful when you're starting out. The good thing about all of this is that the operating costs usually aren't that high, so your net take home income should be pretty good. This is probably why so many live models dedicate a good chunk of their work to webcamming. Even though it seems like easy money, it's still a business, so planning a budget and keeping your overhead as low as possible should be an imperative part of your success as a webcam model. Remember that while you might be having a lot of fun working as a cam model, not to lose focus on the business side. The business side is equally important.

The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) is a program dedicated to performing a survey of small objects (<10 km) in the trans-Neptunian Region of the Solar System by detecting the occultations of bright stars by these objects. This survey must deal with the low expected event rate, marginal signal to noise of detections at one telescope, and the possibility of a high false detection rate due to atmospheric fluctuations or other terrestrial phenomena. TAOS responds to these challenges with an array of small (50 cm) telescopes, each equipped with a 2048\times2048 pixel CCD camera, which will operate automatically to monitor ~2000 stars simultaneously at 5 Hz. False detections are removed by requiring coincident detection in 3 or more telescopes. We expect this system to be sensitive to objects as small as 3 km in diameter.
The system is partially installed at a site in the central highlands of Taiwan. This poster gives a status report on the project and plans for operation later in 2003.
This project is supported by NASA (at UPenn), DOE (at LLNL), Academia Sinica (at ASIAA), NSC (at NCU), and KRF (at Yonsei).

Crumbled Rock Winery
"Location, location, location." It matters in all things, and it REALLY matters in good Pinot noir. You simply can't beat the location of Juliard Vineyard, on Worden Hill Road in Oregon's Dundee Hills.
Crumbled Rock is one of those "Insider" gems of a winery we love to find. You do not want to miss this quietly "under the radar"Oregon treasure.
Owners Julia Staigers and Gerald Koschal's Juliard Vineyard sits at the entrance to what we call the Willamette Valley's Gold Coast of vineyards. Standing in Juliard Vineyard, you can practically throw a rock and hit Maresh, Rambouillet (Dusky Goose), Winderlea, Arcus, Clos Electrique (Cameron), Bergstrom and several other prized vineyards (okay, with a really good arm.)
Planted in 1987, the Juliard Vineyard's Pinot noir fruit was sold for many years to Erath, with great success for Erath's wine ratings. When Erath was acquired by Chateau Ste. Michelle in 2006, Julia and Gerald took back the grapes and founded their own winery, Crumbled Rock.
More About Crumbled Rock Winery
Crumbled Rock's wines impressed us from the first bottle. Both Pinots are under $35, some of the best prices for Dundee appellation wines.
Julia and Gerard continue to sell grapes to a few of Oregon's best wineries. Some of the wineries making sophisticated, top Oregon Pinots include Arterberry Maresh, Ayoub, Daedalus, and Winderlea. Each winery makes a single vineyard "Juliard" - many have been Reserve Pinot noir Wine Club Premium Selections.
