Spring 2000 Commencement
American University
Washington College of Law
Commencement Address
Mark L. Schneider
May 21, 2000
President Benjamin Ladner, Dean Claudio Grossman, distinguished faculty, administrators, students, families, friends and, most important, graduates of the Class of 2000. Congratulations to you all. It is with deep humility that I accept this honorary law degree, and it is with great pleasure that I join you in celebrating the first graduating class of the 21st Century, the Class of 2000. From the time when the Washington College of Law was founded by two women a century ago, you have built a proud record of legal training, community service, and equal rights.
The Washington College of Law is special. And this is a very special class. You come from 29 countries, and nearly 60 percent of you are women. Nearly all of you have participated in the Year of Pro Bono to bring legal relief to those in need. It may have taken 100 years, but the Law School has finally gotten it right. This Class is truly awesome.
I know that behind each degree that will be conferred today are thousands of hours of personal discipline and effort, doubt and joy, frustration and fulfillment. And that's just talking about your families. Graduates, how about a well-deserved round of applause for your family and loved ones.
Now, as I prepared this speech, I tried to remember back more than three decades ago when I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. I know that I was thinking about the future, about the diploma I was about receive…and, I must admit, about the parties that were about to begin. And I tried very hard to remember who spoke at my commencement. Beats me. I still cannot recall his name. I also tried to remember what he said. No idea. Other than this—I believe he made a short speech and for that I have been forever grateful.
Decades from now, I hope at least that you will remember me the same way.
I think that Albert Einstein may have given one of the shortest graduation speeches ever. He said, "I do not have any particular thoughts to express today, so I wish you all success in the future." Then he sat down. But he had some legal training. So he billed for the full hour anyway.
Now there are several reasons why I am particularly pleased to speak at this law school's commencement ceremony. First, I have known your dean for 25 years as a friend and advisor. Claudio was exiled by Pinochet for his beliefs, welcomed by America for his accomplishments, and admired by human rights activists the world over for his courage, his creativity, and his concern. You are fortunate to have him as your dean. Second, both my wife and I have been part of the advisory family of this law school and I was honored to be a judge in your international moot court competition, the only one anywhere conducted in English and Spanish. Third, as the Peace Corps Director, I feel very much at home here. Since 1961, 550 AU alumni have served our country as Peace Corps volunteers and then continued their commitment to public service when they returned home.
I am thinking of returned Peace Corps volunteers like Rick Wilson who directs your clinical programs and International Human Rights Law Clinic, Rebecca Davis who is your registrar, and Visiting Professor Michael Davidson. I am thinking about two of those receiving JD degrees today: Manuel Garcia, who served as a volunteer in Cost Rica working with street children and Erica Simpson who taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. Congratulations to you both. And I also am thinking of Erin Seiler, my special assistant, who graduated from AU, served in Mali and is with us here today.
And if any of you want to extend the Pro Bono Year for another two years in other countries, do I have a deal for you. You can apply on-line to the Peace Corps today and be traveling to exciting Peace Corps assignments by the end of the summer. Today, lawyers serving in the Peace Corps are teaching at law schools in Africa and Central Asia, re-writing laws in the former Soviet Union, and advising local governments around the globe.
Having served as a Peace Corps volunteer myself, I just have three pieces of advice for any future Peace Corps volunteers among you. First, don't drink the water. Second, before you get your first haircut overseas, make sure you know the vocabulary. And third, don't be surprised, as you enter the town, if you hear the people in your community whispering to each other. They're not saying, "Thank God, they've come!" It's more likely they're saying, "There goes the neighborhood."
There is another reason why I am particularly honored to be here today. It gives me a chance to tell you that your diploma is more than a hard-earned professional credential; it also can be a powerful tool for justice.
One of the namesakes to your Pro Bono program, the late Justice William J. Brennan, said, "The task of nurturing the constitutional ideal of dignity does not rest solely with the nine justices, or even the cadre of Federal and State judges. We all share the burden…If I have drawn one lesson in 90 years, it is this: To strike a blow for freedom allows a man to walk a little taller and raise his head a little higher. While he can, he must."
Around the world and here at home, the challenge for you as lawyers will be whether you will strike a blow for freedom and justice, for human rights and individual dignity.
In 1974, I led a United States Senate human rights investigating mission to Chile. We went, in part, to observe a trial of political prisoners being conducted by the Chilean military. It made a mockery of due process. Submachine-gun toting soldiers, whose mission was intimidation rather than security, body-searched us before we entered the makeshift courtroom. The defense attorneys had been named barely hours before the proceedings began and had not had time to prepare a defense. The prosecution case was based almost entirely on confessions. Defense attorneys argued that the confessions had been obtained through torture. Time after time, the attorneys were ruled out of order and threatened with prosecution if they repeated that defense. Every defendant was convicted. It was raw injustice.
In that room, the ancient holder of the balance scales was not only blind, but mute and deaf as well. I saw then—as I have seen since—the irreplaceable role that lawyers play in defending justice and the rule of law. It can be the most honorable and worthy of professions, essential to the success of democratic transitions and vital to protecting human dignity.
Lawyers also have a crucial role in this era of global competition to help balance the economic scales of justice as well. Those countries around the world where the rule of law is secure have the basic requirement of a level playing field in place for potential investors. And even more important, they have the cornerstone in place for more equitable societies. Yet the benefits of globalization are not distributed equally. There are 50 million Wb sites to connect the global community, yet most people of the developing world have never made a telephone call. Nearly three billion of the world's population survives on less than $2 a day. The poor need schools, health care, jobs and credit; but they need access to legal protection as well.
As a Peace Corps volunteer in El Salvador three decades ago, I saw workers exploited without recourse to law when their promised pay was withheld. I saw farmers without legal title to their land. They had no lawyers, no avenue of redress and no hopes of justice from the courts even if they could get there. So I know the enormous difference that lawyers can make when they teach the poor what their legal rights are and when they help defend those rights in the courts. Because, ultimately, the test in all nations is not whether the most powerful can demand justice, but whether the least powerful can receive justice.
So, as you leave here today, I ask you not only whether you will labor to do well, but whether you also will seek to do good.
There are some people today who claim that today's law graduates are interested only in their own prospects for recruiting clients, earning salaries and making partner. I say they are wrong.
The law students engaged in mentoring, tutoring and creating scholarships for students at Johnson Junior High School tell me they are wrong.
The dozens among you who traveled to Honduras to help Hurricane Mitch victims tell me they wrong.
Those of you who raised $26,000 to provide legal services to the underrepresented tell me that they are wrong.
And the more than 1000 children in DC schools who learned about constitutional law through the Marshall-Brennan Fellowship Program tell me that they are wrong.
For those who say there is no spirit of service among law graduates left in this country, I say let them come to the Washington College of Law.
For those who say that law schools are only teaching students how to bill their time, I say let them come to the Washington College of Law.
Let them come and see that the belief in community and public service at this law school is as strong as it has ever been at any time and at any place in history. Am I right?
Whether your next step is a K Street law firm, a job with Legal Aid or joining the Peace Corps, whether you walk the halls of Congress or the streets of Anacostia, the challenge will be whether you make service to community, service to country, and service to justice an integral part of your days. The choice always will be yours.
The best piece of advice I ever heard about deciding between alternatives came from a very wise man, Yogi Berra, who once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it!" Those forks will appear when you least expect them. At times, the difference between risk and opportunity will not be clear…I urge you to choose based on your knowledge and your instinct, your values and your heart. Explore the unknown, live life to its fullest, and along the way, have fun.
In my wallet, amidst the credit cards, I carry with me a pretty worn piece of paper on which I hand-copied the words long ago. But they are words that I take out from time to time to remind myself or to share with others a rationale for what we do each day. They are words spoken by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, when he took a stand against apartheid in South Africa in 1965. He said, "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope; and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Years from now, when you look back on what I am confident will be a life well lived, you will be judged not by the amount of money you made or the number of hours you billed. You will be judged by who you are and not by what you have; by the example you set; by the kind of citizen you were; by the promises you kept; by the richness of the time spent with family, friends, and children. And when it is all said and one, you will be judged by the ripples you sent forth that helped clear the way to justice for all.
I know you will live up to that promise.
Thank you very much for inviting me to share this special day with you. Good luck and Godspeed on the journey ahead.

In my dreams, I'm dying all the time
I finally put on something semi-attractive after a week of rain and winds and clouds. Whenever we have weather like that, I lament the fact that I have no adorable rain gear. No tall and colorful boots, no slick raincoat with matching hat like Paddington bear. And the second it stops raining, I forget. Maybe this fall, I'll break the pattern.
I'm doing a little pattern mixing, but I kept the color palette neutral so I would be comfortable wearing it out. I'm getting to that point where getting dressed takes longer and longer because I'm just so bored with everything I own. So this is the time where I have to try to be even more creative with what I already own since I know that buying a new wardrobe won't spur me to be more creative. Hopefully I come up with some good looks!

Today there was a different order in flying. I start with easier ones first and go harder after that. Today flew Master c/p first and no issues. Next was my long boom Mcp-x and that went well. Then flew stock Mcp-x and also went well.
Took out MSR/MSR-X and flew them, alls good. Last was U816. It flys ok but hate the TX. I am going to scape this quad as it never was all that good to start with. OK to fool around but I don't like it much anyway. Maybe get a L/B V2 board for it as I have extra frame. U816 motors are good/ batteries still good.

Flew 3 packs through the 250 today. It was pretty windy in my section of Tucson but the 250 was flying like a champ. My V120D02S is down due to being a pile of junk and I'm considering getting rid of her. I'm tired of the mediocre performance. In other news it looks like I'll have either a GAUI X4 or X5 on the way next week (I have serious engineer lust for the X4) and I have an AR7200bx+DSMx sat waiting for it! My Devo 8S will be going deviation and my 250 will get a DSMx sat to replace the rx802 and I am thinking I'll put my V200D03 up for sale (locals preferred!). yeeehaw!

Hi Tom,
Still have the V100D01 I got from you. Had it going pretty good but broke boom again at tail motor bracket. I did buy a couple of extras and repair it soon. I have been flying Super F/P/ MSR-X. Today had both Mcp-x's up and all is good. I have not rushed but doing not bad at all. I enjoy the journey and started this time last year. I have many, many flights on Devo 7TX/ DX6i/ T9x/DX5e.
Gaui X4/ X5 sound great. Nice birds but way out of my reach. Align T-Rex 450s/e is as high as I go. Its ready to go but I'm not. Bigger is better, but micos are also fine.

I've been rocking the 250 pretty darn hard lately with the V200 really just playing bench warmer. Fortunately I've moved so I'm on the east side now and have tons of state wilderness and undeveloped subdivision land to fly over so I can really open my 250 up and man does she move.
Given the number of packs you're putting in I'm sure you'll overtake me pretty soon! That master CP sounds like it's flying well for you, have you flipped it yet? It's interesting, I've really found that my micros were really great for honing my early skills, I would have hated to start at my 250! They also are great for working on collective management and snappy corrections. I'm moving into a point now with my learning where I need buffer performance and a bit more presence and float to progress. I'm getting into the whole flying 3 mistakes high stage where when I blow it I need to have the performance to correct. It's just more expensive when I fly 3 mistakes high and make four mistakes

Hi Tom,
It will be some time before I am out doing anybody but more and more getting there. V100D01 flys fine but weight and little spooky on the ground. Plus boom is very fragile and kind of pass on by it for that reason. Local Hobby barn is a joke but look out for some carbon. Love the twin brushless motors. I been flying indoors mostly but now with C/P's that needs to change. Two Master c/p's and two 450's, plus another just want to install Spectrum AR6200 w sat. I broke my V400D02 trying to hover in bedroom....> yes I know thats not way to do it. Just had to try it right??
MSR-X/ Super F/P are very nice indoor knock around helis with performance close to a c/p with out 3D. S F/P is dark blue/ black and hard to keep in focus.
Anyway its a hoot and having fun. How far east did you move? I live on Pantano Rd and 22nd St. Closer to Golflinks really. Decent sized park close by but just scoped it out a little. Tucson Meadows has big lot behind in back but hardtop surface. Grass is better option.
The screwhole for the elevator ball/antirotation pin on my exi swashplate stripped out today... luckily I caught this on the bench. The threads are gone completely. Oh well time to get a Tarot one... or this should be my excuse to go FBL on this heli .
Yes I did! Even in wind the UMX Stryker handles very well and is a lot of fun.
I flew today..two batteries thru my 120SR in light wind had to put nose down full throttle..fun. Happy flying
Samo somo for me. Battery's threw Nano and mCPx-v2.
Dang that v2 flies like a 450 after the Nano. lol

About Groth Vineyards & Winery
Groth will forever be remembered for its record breaking 1985 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the first California wine to receive a 100-point score from Robert Parker. Only three years after the vineyard was established, owners Dennis and Judy Groth churned out a superstar which put them on page one of the Napa Valley history books.

Producer: Groth Vineyards & Winery
Style: White Wine
Grape Type: Chardonnay

(this is Groth's first vineyard-designated chardonnay): Bright lemon-yellow color. Lemon drop, pear, brown spices and smoky oak on the nose. Supple and moderately concentrated, with a stony underpinning to the fresh peach and lemon flavors. Finishes a bit warm, with a firm edge of oak that became more obvious with aeration.

Kofi Dennis and Ingrid Crepeau are among about 200 professional teaching artists who work with schools as part of the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.
This acclaimed program, based at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia, works with regional organizations across the United States to provide arts-in-education services for children ages 3-5, as well as their parents and teachers, through drama, music, and movement.
The Arts for Teaching
Wolf Trap's early childhood program began in 1981. "Education has always been central to Wolf Trap's mission," explains Miriam Flaherty, senior director of education. "But in 1981, someone from Head Start approached one of our board members. Head Start was really looking at opportunities to have an impact on how teachers teach. And they wondered if the arts could be part of a teacher's professional development program and if the arts could really be used to help young children learn."
A quarter-century later, the program continues to grow and thrive. "I believe the success is because it's about a partnership—a meaningful partnership between artists and teachers," Flaherty says. "It comes down to where the children are in the classroom, what the teacher's goals and objectives are for the children. The artist isn't going in and doing a set performance. And the children aren't audience members. They're all participants together."
Teacher Karen Bump, who worked with Dennis in her classroom at Belvedere Elementary, agrees. "When Mr. Kofi came into our classroom—he would come in two or three times a week—the children were so excited to see him. And I was just as excited because I knew we were going to have a good time and we were going to learn some new things and learn some new ways of learning. Joyful, active learning is what happens when you have a Wolf Trap artist in the classroom."

The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts offers residencies and other programs in the Washington, DC/Maryland/Virginia region as well as through regional programs in Arizona, Southern California, Chicago, Connecticut, Delaware, the Mississippi Delta, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Nashville, New Jersey, New York City, North Carolina, Rochester, and North Texas.
The Wolf Trap Foundation web site has more information about the institute and contact information for regional programs.

The « Ensemble Contaste » uses four instruments in it's surprisingly experimental musical amalgamations ; piano , violin , viola and cello. Following the approach of its founders – altist Arnaud Thorette and pianist Johan Farjot – the « Ensemble Contraste» places the audience at the heart of its artistic creations, which results in spectacular concerts.
The diversity and spontaneity of the artists who make up this unusual ensemble allow them to offer an original programme, from classical music to tango, from musicals to contemporary creations.
The musicians of the « Ensemble Contraste » when composing their own arrangements are constantly seeking to infuse the repertroire with fresh imagintion. The energy, humour, sensitivity and merging genres of the ensemble are what invite and allow singers to collaborate harmoniously.
Since its creation in 2000, the « Esemble Contraste » has been invited to all the great theatres in France and abroad in more than ten countries. They are the resident ensemble of the « Voix du Printemps » festival in Paris.
In 2009 they released two albums to critical acclaim : * Café 1930 -Tangos (ZigZag Territories) * Masques (Karol Beffa /Triton) : Classica, Coup de cœur FNAC, sélection Radio Classique, **** Monde de la musique…
An original performance « Classic tango » with music ranging from Piazzolla to Gardel has drawn appreciative audiences since 2008.

NEW YORK — Here's a strange pairing: the author of "Annie" and the mind behind Spy magazine.
But, yes, Martin Charnin and Kurt Andersen have just put the finishing touches on their new musical "Broomhilda," based on the long-running cartoon strip.
The two scribes are unlikely collaborators, and have aptly diverging description of their musical baby.
"It's 'Brigadoon' for the 21st century," says Charnin, the veteran lyricist-director.
"It's 'Men in Black' meets 'Harry Potter,' " says Andersen, who makes his book-writer debut with the project. Considering the edgy sensibility that he brought to Spy, New York magazine and the novel "Turn of the Century," Andersen is the first to admit surprise at his sudden interest in the musical-comedy form.
"It was never a burning ambition," he says. Back-to-back exposure to "Urinetown" and "Hairspray," however, led to a legit epiphany. "Man, if musical comedy can have this kind of modern sensibility…. Now I rush off to every musical that opens to look at it with new eyes," Andersen says.
As for "Broomhilda" being "Brigadoon," Andersen describes his witch story a tad more intriguingly. "It's as if Walt Disney and the Bush administration controlled the world, and Broomhilda and her magical creatures are about to be squeezed out of existence. This is the final battle," he concludes.
Composer on "Broomhilda" is the late Leroy Anderson. Charnin secured the rights to such instrumental classics as Anderson's "Blue Tango," "Syncopated Clock" and "The Belle of the Ball," and has given them original lyrics.
"And left Anderson's music absolutely intact," he insists.
Which makes the "Broomhilda" exercise unlike what "Mamma Mia" did to Abba or how "Kismet" riffed on Borodin.
While "Broomhilda" awaits its first reading, Charnin recently secured a berth for one of his other musical projects. "Robin Hood" opens this November outside Seattle at the Village Theater, the Goodspeed of the Pacific Northwest.
Peter Sipos, Celine Dion's fave composer, has written the music. Thomas Meehan delivers a middle-aged Robin and Marian, whose love child carries the show.
The ubiquitous book writer attended the "Bombay Dreams" press day last week, but graciously talked up his other projects as well.
Meehan revealed that the first act of Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" musical is finished, with a rough draft in place for the first two scenes of the second act.
"It has been more difficult than 'The Producers,' " says Meehan. "It's harder to locate where the songs go, unlike 'The Producers,' which was set in the theater world." Completion date: fall 2004.
He and Brooks are also at work on "The Producers" screenplay, which will incorporate material taken from the 1968 movie but cut at the last moment from the stage show. Example: the Lincoln Center fountain scene.
"Remember the fountains in the Broadway production?" says Meehan, referring to the "We Can Do It" reprise in act one. "Those fountains were a $50,000 inside joke."
What's new at the 'Zoo'
Overheard at the "Fiddler on the Roof" preem:
"Brilliant. Not what you'd expect. Very contemporary."
A noted actress was referring not to the show at hand but rather Edward Albee's new play, "Homelife," ready for its May 28 preem at Hartford Stage.
If Arthur Miller can go back to Marilyn Monroe and the 1950s with "Finishing the Picture," then Albee can return to his first great score, too.
"Homelife" is the prequel to the playwright's 1959 two-hander "The Zoo Story," but rather than give us the backstory on the volatile Jerry, Albee focuses here on the enigmatic Peter.
Pam MacKinnon directs the world premiere. She helmed the Euro debut of "Three Tall Women," at Vienna's English Theater, and the regional debut of "The Play About the Baby," at Houston's Alley Theater.
In "Homelife," Peter and his wife, Ann, are at home in the early afternoon before he goes to the park that fateful day. Peter is already absorbed in the book he reads at the top of "The Zoo Story."
According to MacKinnon, the couple "initiate a conversation from a place of feeling almost too comfortable in their marriage. It explores themes of how tricky a long-term relationship can be."
In London, Albee's "The Goat" transfers from the Almeida to the West End, starring Jonathan Pryce. According to the show's Broadway producer Elizabeth I. McCann, Pryce will also be headlining a 2004-05 Broadway revival of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
The actor's George certainly dazzled Broadway and L.A. auds when he performed benefit perfs of the play with Uta Hagen during the 1999-2000 season.
Everyone from Jessica Lange to Mercedes Ruehl has been mentioned to play Martha. On that score, McCann wasn't talking.

Dad Wears Skirt for Son Who Loves to Wear Dresses: How Do You Encourage Your KidsChristine Coppa
I loved reading this story about a dad who wore a skirt to make his son, 5, feel better about enjoying the fact that he likes to wear … dresses.
"I didn't want to talk my son into not wearing dresses and skirts," [Niles] Pickert tells the German feminist magazine EMMA. "He didn't make friends in doing that in Berlin already and after a lot of contemplation I had only one option left: To broaden my shoulders for my little buddy and dress in a skirt myself."
I find myself constantly doing things to boost JD's morale. My son loves art and we draw, paint, mold all the time. Thing is, my home is a safe place for art, because anything we put on paper or mold out of Play-Doh is deemed gorgeous, unique and well … art.
However, the preschool set is not so kind. JD came home crying the other day because a student in his class claimed his art was "scribble scrabble poo!" This made me, fine, laugh, but then I went into my spiel and being a writer, someone whose work is constantly read and judged, totally helped me understand his frustration and explain it to him. Plus, someone made fun of me in preschool when I colored Jesus' face green, because Jesus was supposed to have a nude or peachy face— def not green. I remember feeling sad butterflies in my stomach that day and like I did something wrong. I remember that day like it was yesterday, so as an adult, I still feel pangs of daggers when it comes to my work.
There are people who loved, liked and hated my book, Rattled! And that's OK. There are people who are die-hard Christine Coppa blog fans—very cool, but then there are people who find my writing to suck it hard. This is cool, too. I went to The University of the Arts and my writing was critiqued and picked at by my hardcore peers and professors who were all working artists, authors and professionals. My cheeks were stained with many a tears in college. I would never, ever succeed. I frequented the Irish Pub often.
Writing for a living is no different. I get revises all the time. It's part of the profession. Writing is a solitary practice, so feedback is crucial and critical. You can think you're brilliant or that you suck—and then your editor can tell you the real deal—I've seen both sides of this. When Storked! debuted on glamour.com and Jezebel.com crucified me I called my Glamour editor … sobbing. I was a month away from giving birth: "I quit." She said, and quite sternly: "Grow a thicker skin. I expect your next blog by end of day." And by EOD she got it. And it all worked out, because I got a three-year contract with Glamour, a book deal and The New York Times liked it and that was, for me, as a very insecure writer, artist, what have you, the most humbling moment of my career. To even get mentioned in the NYT good or bad (but happy it was good) — I was stunned. But there's a sh*t show of negative reviews of my book and blog all over the Internet, but at the end of the day, I feel good about my work—it's not scribble scrabble poo (LOL), but when people say it is, I do look it over and think, I could have done this differently, or next time, I won't sound so aggressive. Maybe this was mean to write. Maybe I was emotional and not rational. Maybe I should spell check more. But, these days, I assure you, quitting is not in my blood. I loved reading about how so many people disliked HBO's Girls and how Lena Dunham defended her work (which I love). We get it. We know everyone doesn't like our writing or vision. (Sometimes we hate it too. Secretly, my writing that makes me cringe is my fave and worst.) What we need to do as parents is make sure our kiddos know it's still OK for them to LOVE their work, vision, life, clothes, art …
I explained to JD that in life there are going to be people that love you, like you and don't like you and same for your art, sport. That night after dinner I spread out an old sheet and rolled out a giant piece of paper on the living room floor. Music blasted. I sat on the rug and started scribbling with a red crayon. Crazy, chaotic, no sense lines, swirls and twirls. "Whyyyyy are you making scribble scrabble, moooooooom!"
"What?" I said. "This is art, dude. Wanna help?" I handed him a purple crayon. We scribbled and scrabbled and then we looked over our work and decided it was an outer space rainbow.
All was right again. Sometimes we just have to remind our kids they aren't wrong, weird, or different for liking what they like. In fact, they are awesome. And I found JD in my heels the other day and he asked me if it was OK. I said, "Yeah man!" and put on some other heels and trotted around with him. Who cares!
How do you encourage your kids and help them to be themselves and free, little birdies? Share!
*Above art by JD: Mommy and me by a tree. Uncle Carlo retrieving rainbow fruit. The sun is purple because I like purple. The clouds are yellow because they are filled with sun. —JD

Scan shows how brains plot future
Brain scans have given US scientists a clue about how we create a mental image of our own future.
The Washington University team say that specific areas of the brain are active when thinking about upcoming events.
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study could help doctors trying to understand damage inflicted by strokes, injuries or diseases.
The findings tally with damage spotted in the brains of patients who have lost the ability to 'think ahead'.

PITTSFORD – Ron Brooks has found himself in the right spot for the Buffalo Bills lately.
The rookie cornerback from LSU made an interception and broke up three passes in the team's first preseason game Thursday against Washington.
He picked off another pass Sunday during the team's afternoon practice at St. John Fisher College, ripping the ball away after it was bobbled by receiver Kamar Aiken on a throw by Tyler Thigpen.
Those types of big plays have Brooks firmly in the mix to be one of the team's top five cornerbacks.
"He has done a very good job," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "He is kind of an underrated guy. He has a lot of ability. He just could not get on the field at LSU so people did not know a lot about him. He has some talent and I am anxious to see how he can progress. He could help us out a lot this year."
Brooks couldn't get on the field at LSU because the cornerbacks ahead of him, Morris Claiborne and Tyrann Mathieu, were two of the best in the country. Claiborne was the sixth overall pick by the Dallas Cowboys in April's draft, while Mathieu was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Brooks was saddened to hear about Mathieu's dismissal from the Tigers last week for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
"He's a close personal friend of mine," Brooks said. "I'm sorry that situation happened to him. All the best of luck to him."
Brooks said he planned to reach out to Mathieu soon.
"I'm going to talk to him, just make sure my little brother is OK, check on him," Brooks said.
With Terrence McGee's recovery from knee surgery leaving his status uncertain for the start of the season, Brooks has a prime opportunity right now. He's working both in the slot and outside, which gives him some versatility.
"The more positions you can play, the easier it is to get on the field," he said.
. . .
The Bills didn't have to dunk a football into a bucket of water to practice with a wet ball Sunday.
Mother Nature took care of that. Heavy rain began to fall with about 45 minutes remaining in the practice and became a downpour at times.
"It's not something you want to do, but it's good for us," Gailey said. "You need a day like that so you can handle a wet ball, and everybody can talk about ball security on offense, and you can talk about stripping the ball out on defense. It was good for us."
So how did the coach think they handled it?
"Pretty good. I think we had one ball on the ground out there. We practiced a lot of different situations from our Wildcat to our goal line to the regular offense. I thought we handled it well," he said.
Before the rain came, Vince Young hit Scott Chandler for a 20-yard touchdown on the quarterback's first throw during 7-on-7 work.
Other highlights: Young sold a fake handoff well and took off on a bootleg around the right side for a nice gain. … Safety George Wilson leaped in the air at the line of scrimmage to bat away a throw by Ryan Fitzpatrick. The ball nearly was intercepted by linebacker Arthur Moats before falling incomplete.
The Bills ended practice with some goal-line work, during which running back Fred Jackson scored after taking a direct snap.
Not practicing were safety Josh Nesbitt, cornerback Justin Rogers and tight end Kevin Brock. All three are expected to miss Friday's second preseason game in Minnesota. Gailey said Rogers is the closest to returning. Brock is dealing with a shoulder injury. Defensive tackle Spencer Johnson did not participate in team drills because of a bruised shoulder.
. . .
Jackson voiced support for former teammate Lee Evans, who was released Sunday by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"That's tough," Jackson said. "I know he still can make plays. I'm hoping something happens for him. I wouldn't mind him coming back here, to tell you the truth.
"I think he can make us better. We have great core guys here [at wide receiver] anyway, but I'm hoping something happens for him. I'm definitely going to get on the phone with him now, see how he's feeling."
Jackson said he thought the 31-year-old Evans would be amenable to a return.
"I'm sure he would," Jackson said. "He was here a couple months ago, right after he signed with Jacksonville. I asked him if he had any thoughts about coming here, and he said he definitely would not mind it at all. We'll see what happens."

LEWISTOWN - All game, Cedar Cliff was trying to get behind Mifflin County's defense. And it seemed like only a matter of time before the Colts' strategy would pay off.
Mifflin County, on the other hand, dug itself a hole early and clawed to get out of it.
The Huskies got out. Sam Peters' goal with 9:34 remaining on the second-half clock eventually forced overtime.

But once overtime got started, Cedar Cliff was visibly trying to beat the Huskies over the top. The Colts did.
Olivia Evans' second goal of the game came with 7:39 on the overtime clock to hand the Huskies a 3-2 loss - their first of the season.
"I wasn't happy with the first half," Mifflin County coach Tish Maclay said. "That put us in a hole. I was incredibly happy with the effort in the second half and overtime."
Fact Box
Mifflin County travels to the Selinsgrove tournament Saturday
The first half was a little bit of a struggle for Mifflin County. Cedar Cliff's first goal came from another deep ball from Evans to Nicole Rupnik 13 minutes into the first tilt. But keeping their heads high, the Huskies kept digging.
"We tried to play through their sticks too much (in the first half)," Maclay said. "What we really needed to be doing was more passing and spreading the game out side to side. We got sucked into the middle."
But four minutes later, Mifflin County cashed in.
All game long, the Huskies were inside the visitors' circle. Colt keeper Maria Jacobs was tied up in the middle when she hit the ground and the ball was trapped under her. The Huskies were awarded a penalty shot.
Peters stepped up. And with a sweep of her stick, she sent a laser to Jacobs' right side in for Mifflin County's first score.
"Once we started realizing lets work our passing game it made a huge difference," Maclay said.
Throughout the game, Maclay was on her players about getting quicker shots and passes against the Colt defense. In the second half, things were starting to shift the Huskies' way.
On back-to-back clean possessions for Mifflin County with fewer than 25 minutes to play in the game, Peters was free on the left side and tried to slide the ball to Whitney Strohecker in the middle. The duo, who combined for five goals against Chambersburg Wednesday, were getting looks but not finishing.
For about eight straight minutes in the second half, Mifflin County dominated while the Colts were still trying for the long ball.
"They were down 2-0 and never quick," Maclay said. "We fought all the way back and tied it up."
The hard work inside the circle paid off for the Huskies with just under 10 minutes to play. Peters started a drive from the left side and sent the ball to the middle. A scramble for possession ensued and after four Husky shots, Peters got the ball back and found the cage.
When the game went to sudden victory, both teams were pressing with a storm bearing down.
The Huskies' game plan was to start the period in attack mode. Peters had a good look just when the overtime kicked off and couldn't finish. But the same went for Cedar Cliff.
Each team had open looks, and lots of them. In one instance, Peters came up the left side and found Strohecker in the middle. The duo couldn't convert.
"We had chances in overtime to score," Maclay said. "It was an exciting game."
Cedar Cliff finally put the game away when a long pass got behind the Mifflin County defense and Evans was able to find the cage and finish off the Huskies.
"She got out there and we knew she was going to get out there," Maclay said. "We played it the way we wanted to. It was a good shot on her part."
Mifflin County travels to Selinsgrove's Turf Fest tournament Saturday to take on Crestwood and Selinsgrove.

I don't know the exact science of it, but for me (and my friend who turned me on to Primal) this has happened. I used to be able to drink/eat sweet things by the gallon but now even a sip of sweet stuff is really too much for me. Sweet and me do not mix nearly as often as before.
Also, I've developed a taste for green tea; everyone else says it tastes bitter but it tastes fine to me. My friend also had a similar experience so I *think* it's normal.

I am a North Londoner of Irish Protestant and Anglo-Indian (or, to be more accurate, Hiberno-Caledonian-Anglo-Dutch-Huguenot-Indian) parentage. I was trained as a mathematician but, at the moment, am working only part-time. I have travelled a lot; not only around the British Isles, but also throughout: Europe; Africa; America (North only; I have yet to cross the Rio Grande, never mind the Panama Canal, although I have been to the States quite a few times and once ventured across the Forty-Ninth Parallel for a month, and should like to go back to Canada again, sometime); Asia; and Australia. Unfortunately, most of those voyages were undertaken before the invention of the digital camera, so I can't show you too many of the graves I saw when I was abroad. When I am not travelling or working, or painting or acting, I am learning to play the piano and various woodwind instruments. I try to keep my body fit with cycling and swimming and karate, as well as by never drinking alcohol or coffee, or smoking, or eating flesh, or fowl, or fish, and I try to keep my mind fit with chess and crosswords and reading.
Please note; I am forever running around this world (as Jefferson Airplane once sang), and seldom check the computer when I am on my wanderings; but, if you write to me, I shall make sure that I answer on my return.

RE: Private Leonard William Darwood
Dear Iain
I have the spelling of your name right this time - typical me to get it wrong.
Thanks so much for your kind offer. There are photos of graves that I am wanting in the mother country. Do you go anywhere near Norfolk and Lincolnshire? If you do, will get back to you.
I signed a petition, asking Ancestry to give us a choice to either stay with Classic or switch to their new-look. There were thousands of their members who signed it, but they chose to ignore us. They lost many of their subscribers because of it. I cancelled my sub the day they switched me over.
To get started on your family history, Ancestry could be a help re their many world-wide records.
But just remember, you will have no control of your family tree and Ancestry can change it at will. They are not to be trusted.
Well enough of my rantings.
Kind regards

photo for Louis Izzio
Dear Iain,
I am writing for my husband, Joseph Izzio. We would like to thank you very much for sending the photos of the graveside plaques of Joe's father, Louis Izzio, who was killed in Kohima.
It is impossible for us to contemplate ever going to Kohima so we are thrilled to have the photo of his grave plaque and the Royal Berkshire plaque. We will shortly be adding some photos and documents to his memorial site, such as marriage cert., photos of Louis in his uniform and with his wife. We have none of him with my husband Joe, so I'll post one of our family too, along with Louis' grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are all wonderful people and Louis would be so proud to know that he was the start of a family of kind, good looking and productive citizens of Canada.

IEA Energy Journal Calls for Electricity System Integration
30 April 2014: The latest edition of the International Energy Agency (IEA) journal, titled 'IEA Energy,' focuses on the transformation of electricity systems. The journal highlights electricity system integration, with stories on a range of topics, including energy storage systems for bridging demand and supply, two-way charging of electric vehicles for the creation of dynamic vehicle-to-grid power systems, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the variability of wind and solar energy sources.
In an introductory article, IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven underlines that electricity demand is expected to by two-thirds by 2035, faster than any other energy sector. She explains that the US$14 trillion in investments anticipated over the next two decades require a change in perspective that delivers cost-effective solutions for energy security and decarbonization, and emphasizes a careful consideration and incorporation of multiple options into integrated energy systems.
Other articles in the issue describe how a shift towards integrated electricity systems could proceed. Manuel Baritaud, IEA, echoes van der Hoeven's call for integrated solutions for security and dearbonization in his presentation of IEA's Electricity Security Acton Plan. He outlines policies needed to deal with the challenges that the unbundling of monopolies, increased competition, and introduction of renewables have had on investment and risk profiles of electricity markets.
Dennis Volk, IEA, explains how major investments in transmission must be met with smarter operations, market-based solutions, fine-tuned distribution, and other network-wide planning that go beyond a narrow-focus on minimizing costs. Johannes Teyssen, chairman and CEO of E.ON and president of the Eurelectric utility association, offers a business perspective on the integration of renewables in the context of diverging retail and wholesale electricity prices in Europe.
The issue also contains stories on the IEA regional energy efficiency policy initiative in Arab and Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries; the IEA How2Guides to help countries and regions build low-carbon energy systems; and the Joint Declaration of Association for energy cooperation endorsed by Brazil, China, India, the Russian Federation, Indonesia, and South Africa at the IEA Ministerial meeting in 2013.

Grad student published in ScienceDirect
Gina Garland, a graduate student in Professor Johan Six' lab, is lead author in a short communication recently published in ScienceDirect. Co-authored by Emma Suddick, Martin Burger, W.R. Horwath and Six, the paper looks at Direct N2O emissions following transition from conventional till to no-till in a cover cropped Mediterranean vineyard.
Knowing underlying practices for current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a necessary precursor for developing best management practices aimed at reducing N2O emissions. The effect of no-till management on nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, remains largely unclear, especially in perennial agroecosystems. The objective of their study was to compare direct N2O emissions associated with management events in a cover-cropped Mediterranean vineyard under conventional tillage (CT) versus no-till (NT) practices.
This study took place in a wine grape vineyard over one full growing season, with a focus on the seven to ten days following vineyard floor management and precipitation events. Their data shows that individual management events such as fertilization and cover cropping had a major impact on seasonal emissions, indicating that management events play a critical role in N2O emission patterns.
Garland, a recipient of Plant Sciences Departmental Graduate Student Research Assistantship, is just completing her Maters of Science Degree.

So said Flannery O' Connor back in the day:
I hope you don't have friends who recommend Ayn Rand to you. The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky.
Agree? Disagree? How good is Ayn Rand, as a writer?

Potter County commissioners had to choose the lesser of two evils Monday morning, ultimately choosing the more prudent course of "wait and see."
Commissioners discussed options regarding the county's financial responsibility for indigent care to county inmates. By law, the county is responsible for providing health care such as prescription drugs for inmates. The county is then reimbursed by Northwest Texas Hospital for the costs incurred by inmates deemed indigent.
A discrepancy in these reimbursements drew the wrath of commissioners Monday, primarily commissioners Strick Watkins and Manny Perez. Watkins and Perez described the situation as an ongoing problem for about the last three or four years, and according to estimates the county is owed roughly $400,000 in reimbursements for indigent care.
Before commissioners reached a compromise, there was discussion of not paying recent bills received for indigent care in an attempt to force some sort of resolution. This only would have made matters worse. Assistant County Attorney Dave Kemp feared the county could face a potential lawsuit from an inmate who was denied proper health care, for example, pharmaceutical drugs, if these drugs were not available due to a lack of payment.
As Kemp pointed out, it would be difficult for the county to prevail in such a lawsuit. At the request of Commissioner John Stradley, commissioners agreed to approve payment for the latest round of inmate health care costs on the condition county officials, including Kemp and County Judge Arthur Ware, review the reimbursement agreement with NWTH officials. The county should not be responsible for indigent health care for inmates, but until a resolution is reached, the bills have to be paid. The alternative of excluding payment would put the county in a legal quandary more costly than a lack of reimbursement.

Studio shores up talent to keep pix pipeline full
Wrangling production and co-financing deals for Warner Bros.' hefty release slate is difficult under any circumstance.
But thanks to a series of events largely beyond his control, Warners Entertainment prexy and chief operating officer Alan Horn found himself juggling frantically this month to manage and maintain relationships with key suppliers.
First came the news that Brad Gray was taking the reins at Paramount, and that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were splitting up, casting doubt on the future of their jointly run production shingle, Plan B.
Then came word that George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh were considering dissolving their shingle, Section Eight, after screenwriter Ted Griffin's failed directorial debut at Warners — a project Section Eight is producing. Soderbergh called the incident "a scarlet letter" on Section Eight.
Last week, multimillionaire Steve Bing, who poured $80 million into "Polar Express," moved to Sony, after the expiration of his co-financing arrangement with Warners.
Production deals are less stable than they used to be, thanks in part to the proliferation of co-financing deals such as Bing's, which come with more flexibility than traditional term deals. Consider the case of co-financier Spyglass Entertainment, which recently moved from Disney to DreamWorks to Sony.
Horn has proved adept at navigating these waters, securing co-financing for nearly half the studio's slate. Warners just inked a deal to co-finance "Zodiac," a new David Fincher thriller with Paramount, and is rumored to be considering co-financing deals for a number of DreamWorks pics, including Clint Eastwood's next project.
Warners has recently sought to shore up its production ranks, inking first-look deals with such talent as Bryan Singer, who ended his production deal with Fox after taking the "Superman" helming gig at Warners.
But the recent upheaval among Warners suppliers reveals just how finicky such deals can be.
Section Eight has reupped for two years but hasn't committed to the company's future beyond that.
Contacted by Variety, Clooney had this to say about Section Eight's future: "We're renewing our contract for another two years and, as we always have done, we look at where things are following each two-year increment. So check with us in two years."

No SCIM?
Heya. I love 64 Studio so far, even if updates are few and far between. I deal with a lot of Japanese speakers and writers, and as such, had SCIM on my previous Linux distro. How would I be able to install a working SCIM? I can't install scim-gtk-immodule because it wants to install everything else first. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it is, afaik, one doesn't
Is it is, afaik, one doesn't need scim-gtk2-immodule to be able to bring up the SCIM toolbar. When I used to use Fedora Core, I just needed scim, anthy and scim-anthy. when SCIM starts, I get the keyboard icon in the taskbar, but nothing comes up when I click, and the toolbar isn't there. If I right-click of course, the config menu comes up (SCIM setup, lock windows, etc.). Obviously, Synaptic would tell me if I was missing any dependencies. Not sure what to do.
Make sure you're using Etch packages
Any version of libgtk2 higher than 2.8.0 should be OK if you're using the scim package from Etch: http://packages.debian.org/etch/scim Cheers!
It seems that the version of libgtk2.0-0 that's available isn't a high enough version for scim-gtk2-immodule to install. It wants 1.4.4-8, but 1.4.4-7 is what's there.
I just tried the same, and it wants me to install only 2 packages,
- scim
- libscim8c2a
- deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
- deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main

CWN.org - TALAMANCA, Costa Rica - Thousands of tribal people live in the jungles of Costa Rica. Most remain on isolated reservations, cut off from healthcare and education for their children.And when sickness comes, the situation can quickly turn desperate.
The life of this indigenous baby is in danger. Too weak to survive the five days of jungle trails and dangerous river crossings to reach the nearest town. This baby's life hangs by a cord-and a daring helicopter rescue.
Not far from here another child risks his life crossing a dangerous river on this makeshift bridge. The river crossings are more than a safety issue.
UNICEFf's Seija Toro has studied the health of indigenous children.
"Under (age) five mortality, for instance, is much higher," she explained. "It's almost double compared to the rest of the country." he need of these indigenous children caught the attention of a growing Christian community in San Jose. And Vida Abundante Church soon launched a "Bridges for Life" campaign.
"It was very interesting because people from our church knocked on doors that then began to open, and as the result of many efforts we began to see resources coming in, financial resources which were so important for an expensive project like this. Technical resources like engineers, architects," the church's pastor, Meguel Sanchez, said.
The church found support in the government and private sectors. Working together, the church-initiated coalition began to build secure foot bridges. The sites were so remote that construction materials had to be airlifted by helicopter. The U.S. military loaned two of its blackhawks for the project.
"The Army and the U.S. are here to help the movement of material to the area of Talamanca, which is approximately 160,000 pounds of material," Sgt. David Bustamante said.
The Chirolitos river in the rainy season becomes an uncrossable torrent. Some people who have tried to cross it have lost their lives. That's why the structure behind me is really a bridge of life.
This vehicle bridge cost around $160,000. The San Jose congregation covered the costs of land surveys, bridge design, and project supervision. But for Costa Rican Christians, it's more than just a bridge.
"What benefits will this bring to the area? Many, but I believe the spiritual benefits will be greater," Sanchez said. "Today it becomes simpler for us to reach many more remote areas where we can present the salvation message, where we'll tell the people of this indigenous area that there's hope for them."
This new bridge opens up access to eight villages and 3,500 indigenous families.
Now, thanks to the initiative of a Costa Rican congregation, these indigenous children have access to better health care and education, and their families to a better life.

Summary: This hike is best done on a cool, crystal clear day. You will be rewarded with spectacular views of Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Mountains, and possibly the islands laying off the southern California coast. The hike has almost no shade and the trail is a wide fire road with scrub brush on both sides of the trail (i.e. no shade!). I did this hike on a hazy day, so I didn't get to experience the views other guide books talk about, so perhaps I rated this hike lower than it otherwise deserves. Note that when you reach the radio towers, follow a trail that runs up against the chain link fence surrounding the towers, and you will find a bench to sit on with a breathtaking view of L.A.
Trailhead: Located in Glendale on Beaudry Boulevard, 0.4 miles west of Country Club Drive. Park on the street, walk up a paved segment of fire road past a vehicle gate and continue on to where the fire road splits (about 0.3 miles). (Lat:34.19372 Lon:-118.24173)

A bit worried coming back down, my head lamp wasn't bright enough, but the moon was in 3/4 full so plenty of natural light. Saw backpacker hiking up at 6pm, in the darkness, w/o light.

Good workout, nice views of L.A., the San Gabriels, the ocean, Saddleback, even San Jacinto - you just really need a clear day to do it! The shade on the north-facing slopes is nice, and even if it's cloudy if you're still in the area, it's a good place to get some exercise. Check out my pictures and trip report here.

Did this hike today. Spectacular views. And while a clear day is preferred, we went on a hazy day and the haze provided with interesting scenery. We went clockwise in the rising sun and found no shade whatsoever during the ascent, and patches of shade on the descent. Also, the climb is quite steep. The trail is pleasantly challenging, although it is too well defined to experiment and find short-cuts. Good spot for biking too, with most of the trail quite broad.
Reviewed by Sean on 5/3/2010
As many others have said, this is a hike best done when the skies are clear as it offers a fantastic view of the LA basin. It's especially nice to go early in the morning. A word of caution however: I did this hike last weekend and ran into a rattlesnake. It was hiding in the grass just at the side of the road, and it wasn't in a big hurry to leave. Had I been walking on the edge of the road, it would have been easy to step on it. So make sure to keep your eyes open, and if you hike with kids (or dogs), make sure to keep an eye on them too.

New Orleans can now be referred to as the Ivory Coast,
Chris Ivory, a running back who played in five games for Tiffin University last season before a leg injury shelved him, signed with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints on Saturday night.
The deal was in place hours after the NFL Draft concluded. There was hope Ivory might become the first TU player selected, but Tiffin coach Dave Walkosky said all along that the 6-foot, 228-pounder would get a shot in the NFL.
"They contacted him during the actual draft," Tiffin coach Dave Walkosky said. "They still wanted him.
"He has a great opportunity [with the Saints]. They need another running back."
Ivory said he's happy to be getting a shot.
"I'm going to run with it," he said. "It's an honor to be with the team."
Ivory came to the Dragons from Division I Washington State, where Walkosky was an assistant in 2007. Walkosky worked with special teams, and used Ivory on kick returns.
Ivory's time in a Tiffin uniform was brief, but impressive. He rushed for 223 yards on 39 carries, a 5.7 rushing average. He suffered a season-ending leg injury in a game against Ashland at Frost-Kalnow Stadium.
Ivory has an opportunity to be the second Tiffin player to make it in the NFL. Receiver Nate Washington signed with the Steelers as a free agent after the 2005 draft, and went on to win a pair of Super Bowl rings there before signing with Tennessee before last season.
"I told Chris he's elevated our program," Walkosky said.
Ivory said he always stayed focused on reaching the next level.
"It just lets you know if you come in, work hard, keep your faith and stay humble, you can be picked up," he said.
One Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference player was selected in the draft. The Oakland Raiders picked Hillsdale (Mich.) offensive tackle Jared Veldheer during Friday's third round (No. 69 overall).

>Charlton Heston
He has driven a chariot, rowed in a slave galley, even parted the Red Sea. But "physically, Planet of the Apes was the most arduous thing I've ever done," says Charlton Heston, 73. "In the first place, I was all but naked through the whole thing, thrashing through the bushes," explains the actor, recalling the 1968 sci-fi classic. "I was fire-hosed and dragged and choked and whipped and caught in a net and held upside down and all kinds of fun things. Had rocks thrown at me. And, I'll point out to you, even rubber rocks hurt."
Ah, sweet memories. On Sept. 6, you can see Heston get bonked, mauled and pawed all over again as American Movie Classics reruns Planet and its four sequels in a 30th-anniversary marathon, starting at 9 a.m. ET—along with a first-run behind-the-scenes documentary (at 5:30 p.m. ET). As rough as he had it, says Heston (who returned briefly in the first Apes sequel), "it was really terribly unpleasant for the people playing the apes." Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans had to sweat 12 hours a day inside thick latex makeup. Which posed a problem during Heston's kissing scene with Hunter in Planet. "It was very, very curious," he says. "You're a long way from the inside of her mouth—about 3½ inches." At least his own anatomy was genuine. As Heston undraped for a nude scene, a coffee girl on the set quipped, "Hmmm, nice buns."
