'The Producers' staged at UW-Stevens Point

Page Content
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Department of Theatre and Dance will stage one of its most ambitious productions to date as it brings the musical comedy "The Producers" to audiences May 3–5 and 8–10.
"The Producers" will be performed in Jenkins Theatre in the Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage St., at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, and Wednesday through Friday, May 8–10. A 2 p.m. matinee will be performed Sunday, May 5.
Admission is $17 for adults, $16 for senior citizens and $12 for students. Tickets are available at the Information and Tickets Office in the Dreyfus University Center,
, or by calling 715-346-4100 or 800-838-3378.
Based on a film written by Mel Brooks, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical tells the story of a down-on-his-luck producer, Max Bialystock (played by Nick Wheeler, Moorhead, Minn.), and his mild-mannered accountant, Leo Bloom (played by John Ford-Dunker, Fargo, N.D.), as they try to cheat all their backers out of millions by producing a show, "Springtime for Hitler," as the most notorious flop in Broadway history. There's only one problem—the show becomes a smash hit.
"The show is Mel Brook's love letter to old Broadway," says its director, Alan Patrick Kenny, assistant professor at UW-Stevens Point. "It's a throwback to the golden age of musicals. We are bringing that vision to life, making it the biggest show I've ever directed."
Consider: The production uses about 500 props, 1,000 light bulbs and a dozen different old-school wagon and scenic units created under the leadership of set designer Greg Kaye, an assistant professor of theatre. Costume designer and assistant professor Sandy Childers and her student crew are putting together 250 costumes for a cast of 25, some with several characters and multiple costume changes.
A 14-member orchestra will perform songs, including "Springtime for Hitler" and "King of Broadway," with students' dance choreography by Jeannie Hill, associate professor of dance.
With its unusual characters, songs and unlikely "bromance" between the two anti-heroes, "each scene is like visiting a zoo exhibit," said Kenny. "The fun for the audience is observing each of the crazy characters in their natural habitats. The show is full of constant surprises."

Kaz to Debut Campaign for Pur Water Filtration
Posted on August 18, 2014 by
From Pur's new creative marketing campaign
SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.-The Kaz division of Helen of Troy is rolling out a new creative marketing campaign for its Pur brand of water filtration products, the first new campaign for the brand since 2008.
A Kaz statement said the new initiative intends to elevate water filtration in a fun and lighthearted way. It features an eccentric and self-appointed water critic named Arthur Tweedie, who will serve as a catalyst to help consumers question the quality of their drinking water and educate them that their tap water may contain contaminants such as lead, heavy metals, microbial cysts and by-products of chlorine. Tweedie will be seen in a series of YouTube-style television spots beginning today, which will also pin Pur against alternatives including its leading competitors, according to the statement.
Along with the TV spots, the campaign will roll out social-media channels for Arthur Tweedie on Twitter (@ArthurTweedie) and Tumblr (ArthurTweedie.com).
Brian Carboni, Kaz's marketing director, said, "We wanted to make a bold statement about Pur as a category leader and expert in the removal of drinking-water contaminants. We think our new creative will grab people's attention and educate them through the lens of comedy, about the benefits of superior water filtration."
Next month, Kaz will also announce a larger rebranding effort for Pur, which will include changes at shelf, the statement said.

Businesses buying high-performance computing clusters need exceptional processing power for incredibly complex workloads. But they still operate within budgetary constraints. A Linux-based HPC implementation is far more cost-effective than a monolithic supercomputer, and consequently very attractive to SMBs. Pogo Linux specializes in servicing the customers who need the fastest CPUs, the highest memory capacities, and solid-state storage. But then it goes the extra mile to get all of that hardware running in a flexible Linux-based operating environment.
Its newest server offerings center on Intel's Xeon E5 processor family. Pogo Linux covers all of the bases, offering 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U machines designed to do some pretty incredible things. Virtualization is an especially big market for the company. Representatives we spoke to say that many Web hosts buy its servers and run a lot of VMs, but then need hardware able to shoulder the heavy load of virtualization without compromising performance. Xeon E5-based platforms are particularly adept there.
In addition to constructing potent server platforms, Pogo Linux puts an emphasis on supporting its customers with value-added services. Pre-configuration with Linux helps alleviate the challenge of integration, while additional specialties (like storage) make Pogo a single source for getting infrastructure components working smoothly with each other.

MORGANTOWN - The Mountaineers of West Virginia have managed to stay relevant for another week.
The question now is, can the Mountaineers keep that little bit of momentum it gained with an overtime victory against TCU rolling when Texas comes to Morgantown for a night game at Mountaineer Field?
They're certainly going to try.
The problem is, Texas might just be the hottest team in the Big 12 next to Baylor as the Longhorns have turned a 1-2 start into a five-game win streak and currently sit atop of the conference standings.
"Our guys are going to be pretty excited about the atmosphere that is going to be in Morgantown Saturday night," Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen said. "It is going to be good for the fans, players, Morgantown and all of West Virginia."
One way the Mountaineers could really get their faithful rowdy is overcoming their habit of slow starts.
Since West Virginia's victory against Oklahoma State, it averages 2.5 points during the first quarter.
The Mountaineers did fix their habit, for at least one week, of not finishing out in the fourth quarter against the Horned Frogs. WVU scored 17 points in the fourth quarter.
"Things are starting to come together," Holgorsen said of the offense. "You can easily go back just as much as you went forward so we need to get back to practice; building unity, continuity, trust and try to show improvement. That is what is important to me, and I think we accomplished that last week."
Another thing the Mountaineers accomplished was dominance in the ground game.
Running back Charles Sims finished with a game-high 189 all-purpose yards.
His 154 rushing yards were the most ever against a Gary Patterson TCU defense and has now totaled 785 on the season.
"Our struggles last year were mainly because we could not run the ball very well," Holgorsen said. "Going back and studying the tape last year against Texas, we ran the ball well.
"I think this year we are running the ball pretty well. What Texas is trying to do offensively is similar to what we are trying to do offensively."
This matchup could prove for an old fashion ground-and-pound type of battle in a conference that is all about putting the ball in the air.
The Longhorns have just the personnel for it, too.
Johnathan Gray leads them with 724 rush yards, good for second in the conference. Through the past six games, Gray is averaging 104 y.p.g.
Not too far behind him is Malcolm Brown, who has seven rushing touchdowns and has an average of 97 yards in the past three games.
"They are a physical team," Holgorsen said. "Probably the most physical team we have played up until this point. Texas has a lot of depth, as they have been preparing for Big 12 football for quite some time."
On the flip side, Holgorsen would like to think the Mountaineers to be the most physical team Texas will play.
"We felt like we could be the more physical team, and we were (against TCU)," the West Virginia coach said. "It is going to have to happen again this week. Last year when we played Texas we won the game upfront. We will not win the game with skill guys, because (Texas is) very talented at those positions, as well as upfront. If you win the line you have a chance to win the game."
The Mountaineers' D-line, which limited TCU to 60 rush yards on 29 attempts, will have their hands full with the Longhorns as all five of their starting offensive lineman are back from last season.
That line has helped Texas rank third in the Big 12 and 29th nationally in rushing with 203 yards per game.
The most improved unit since the Longhorns' dismal start is, without question, their defense.
Texas coach Mack Brown brought in Greg Robinson to take over as defensive coordinator after a 40-21 loss to BYU.
Since the hire, the Longhorns' defense has cut the opposing offense's rushing output by 183 yards per game and has recorded 18 sacks in their last five contests.
"They have simplified things," Holgorsen said of the Longhorn's D. "Before they would try different things on third down by getting into different fronts. It comes down to getting off blocks, holding your gaps, playing with effort, being physical and making tackles. They have gotten better in all those things."
Things have simplified for the Mountaineers' defense, too, as this week the unit has to only focus on one quarterback, Case McCoy, kid brother to former Longhorn Colt McCoy.
McCoy has gone 4-1 in five starts since he took over for an injured David Ash.
"I would say we have made improvement on all three sides of the ball," Holgorsen said. "If people say we are playing at our highest level defensively I would beg to differ. You are looking at a team where improvement means something to them. They play with unity and want to continue to grow.
"We are not going to win the Big 12, and we understand that. We just want to improve and win the next game."

Residents of Salineville are to be commended for taking time out of their schedule Tuesday evening to attend an open house "meet-and-greet" event for Mary Smith, candidate for mayor. This is the kind of public participation that has been lacking in our community for quite some time now and it was refreshing to see new faces and hear new voices taking an interest in our town. The crowd gathered represented various opinions and points of view, but I view it as a beginning to a conversation that will perhaps move our village forward. As we continue the conversation, we need to be mindful that we are adults and friends who can have differing opinions, but remain committed to the common goal of bettering our community for the common good.
With that in mind, I would like to express my disappointment in the conduct of two current village councilmen during the social time that followed Mary's remarks. They used that time to campaign against her at an event that was designed as her opportunity to meet the public. Certainly it was a public event; certainly they were mailed invitations and information along with other village voters; certainly they have the right to free speech in a public forum. Their questions would have been welcomed during the question and answer period, as were questions from other residents and they would have been given answers. Wouldn't that have been fair, to give Mary a chance to publicly respond? Instead, they initiated discussions with individuals following the question and answer period, within earshot of people who were clearly there to support Mary so their bashing could be overheard. Perhaps their goal was to provoke a confrontation, perhaps not. Whatever motivated them, I find their actions to be repulsive, in poor taste, and showing a lack of good manners. It's this kind of behind the scenes conduct that has created a lack of trust and confidence in some of the leaders of the current village administration. I sincerely hope if the current mayor holds a similar event, he and his supporters are treated courteously and not subject to a similar disrespect by those who do not agree with his positions.
I am a lifelong resident of Salineville and I love my hometown; however, I do not like what we have become, but I believe we can do better. In order to do that we need to have responsible, open conversations as adults; respect one another's right to have a different opinion; listen receptively to new or different ideas and revisit old ideas with fresh eyes. In the end, we need to come together, most likely through compromise, and do what is in the best interest of Salineville.
In the interest of full disclosure, I want readers to know I am treasurer for the Committee to Elect Mary Smith; however, the opinions expressed here are mine as an individual. They are not the opinions of Mary Smith or the Committee to Elect Mary Smith.

The only real education shop I'm aware of is next to the Ekamai Bus Station on Sukhomvit. It stocks lots of science, maths, music, art and crafts and general books. It's very Thai, so be prepared for unorganised madness!
Looking for a decent store in Bangers for teaching aides. Things targeted towards elementary students. Anyone have any suggestions of decent places to check out?

All my comments are my own. Which, seeing as I posted them is pretty obvious.
Also one on Lat Phrao Road, I think it's opposite Soi 64 - I'll confirm later.
Later! If you come down Lat Phrao Road towards Bang Kapi, there are traffic lights about 800m past Chok Chai IV (Lat Phrao 64 is on your right). About 100 m past those lights, Suksaphand Panit is on your left.

There is one down near Khao San on Rachadamnoen Rd. as well. I think this is the largest one in Thailand. I've heard of a large one the supplies the stuff for the International Schools located somewhere either on Sukhumvit or Petchburi roads, but I've not been able to get the precise location.
...you get what you need.
There's DK Books at Makassan, on a soi on the left past the Indra Hotel on the way from Pratu Nam junction.
There's a Bangkok based company opened in Nongkhai at great expense. Problem is they think people will pay Bangkok prices up here. everything is at least 20% more. They've employed about 50 staff all of who fussed over me as i bought a dictionary. it will close within 2 months is my guess and the pompous bangkok manager can lose his face and return home.
Do you want teaching aids or materials for teaching aides to use whan they are 'assisting' you with your class?
The largest chain of teaching supply stores in Thailand is named "Serksah pun". (ศึกสาพัน) It's owned and operated by The Teacher's Council. Just ask any Thai teacher you know where the nearest one is. They have anything I've ever needed, or if they don't, they can tell me where to get it!

Thanks, I will have a look
If you're after teaching aids ie flashcards, visual aids, educational games etc good luck. In 3 years I've found virtually nothing anywhere in this country. Thai education doesn't believe in learning by doing. If you're after the raw materials ie glue, futureboards, colored paper etc, there are loads of stores that too these. it pays to shop around for the bargains. I use at least 4 such shops and they give me a whole loads of discounts. every teacher up in nongkhai does the same which explains why the new Bangkok based supply job is doing so badly.
DK books near the new BTS extension they are buidling naer CW / Pathuman is good source of books and some flast cards, audio / CD's in general.
BS2 in most of the depeatment stores has a good source of hard material.

Does any one know where to purchase good quality World Wall Maps in Bangkok. Thanks
I am not aware of any map/globe stores in Bangkok. I have visited shops like that in US, that focus solely on that market. If someone knows about these, please let us know.

In an amazing second-half effort, the Lady Mountain Hawks beat Fairfield University 47-42 in an extremely close game Thursday night.
Although they got off to a slow start, down 6-20 about 10 minutes in, the Hawks built up momentum to close the early gap. Interrupting Fairfield's slew of three-point shots, sophomore Lindsay Hoskins really got the ball rolling making two free throws. Junior Hilary Weaver led the scoring with two three-pointers, and senior Kelly Peterson also scored three. By half-time, Lehigh was only behind by four, the score resting at 26-30.
The regroup proved to be just what the girls needed. Both Lehigh and Fairfield played exceptional defense, and in the first 16 minutes no points were scored by either team. Finally the first point of the half was scored from the free-throw line by sophomore Katie O'Reilly to tighten the score 27-30.
With about 10 minutes to go, the score had tightened to 35-36, but freshman Elizabeth Sharlow made a basket to pull Lehigh into its first lead of the game, 37-36. From there, Lehigh gained control of the game. Junior Hilary Weaver and senior Becky Guman both made three point shots this half, playing key roles in the close win.
With only 30 seconds left in the game, the score remained tight, and Fairfield possessed the ball. The great second half effort by O'Rielly solidified Lehigh's lead, 47-42, and the Hawks took home a well-deserved win.

Mast Mate Workbelt . Made of the same quality webbing and the highest manufacturing standards.
The design is similar to a linesman's belt, consisting of an adjustable waist belt with a tool bag conveniently affixed at the back and a tether strap that goes around the mast and clips back onto the opposite side of the belt. This allows for a comfortable work position with both hands free. I feel the use of this workbelt greatly reduces any risk that could be incurred by on the spot solutions to securing yourself to the mast. When used to hold you to the mast, regular safety harnesses with a single front attachment point, although useful for a back up safety line, tend to make you swing side to side making working difficult at best. With the Mast Mate Workbelt you are fully supported from your backside greatly reducing swing . It is a must when working off the Mast Mate and is equally useful when using permanent mast steps.

SCHIZOPHRENIA, most dreaded of all mental illness, has plagued mankind for countless years without abatement. Although it reached significance as a discrete clinical entity under the rubric of dementa precox only in 1860, approximately 7,000 papers on the subject by Bellak's1 count have been published between 1936 and 1956. It is likely that in the last 100 years more investigators have spent more time, money, and energy, and written more on schizophrenia than on all other psychiatric problems combined. Yet our ignorance concerning its definition, causes, course, treatments, and outcome is still abysmal. The most we can say is that several theories have been developed which are competitive, each one promising resolution of all the problems of etiology.
We gain little satisfaction from the fact that psychiatry in its investigations of schizophrenia is no more backward than oncology in its researches

By Spc. Creighton Holub, 4th BCT PAO, 1st Cav. Div.June 22, 2009
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - Romania officially recognized the end of its troop deployment to Iraq in a ceremony here June 4.
The President of Romania, Traian Basescu, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Christopher Hill, Multi-National Forces-Iraq commander Gen. Raymond Odierno, Multi-National Corps - Iraq commander, Lt. Gen. Charles Jacoby Jr., and the Iraqi Army's chief of staff and the Iraqi Ground Forces commanders were among the distinguished attendees at the ceremony which was facilitated by the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division "Long Knives" and the 4th BCT, 1st Armored Division "Highlanders."
Following Romania's end of mission ceremony, the two U.S. brigade combat teams conducted a transfer of authority ceremony to officially recognize the end of the 4 BCT, 1st Cav Div.'s year-long deployment to Iraq. The Highlanders assumed the coalition forces' mission from the Long Knives in the tri-province area of Muthanna, Dhi Qar and Maysan.
"Romania has stood firm against terrorism across the world," Jacoby said.
The Romanian 26th Infantry Battalion "Red Scorpions" has been under the operational control of the Long Knife Brigade and will depart Iraq in early July. The Red Scorpion Battalion was the first Romanian battalion to deploy to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"All three Romanian units with whom we have worked have been extremely effective, professional organizations," Col. Philip Battaglia, the Long Knife Brigade commander, said following the ceremony. "The Romanians have been great partners in Iraq."
The two U.S. BCTs and the Romanian battalion thoroughly coordinated the enhanced security for the throngs of distinguished guests and media on hand to witness the ceremony.
The ceremony included the Romanian, U.S. and Iraqi national anthems, Romanian awards presentations to U.S. military leaders, U.S. military awards to Romanian leaders and gift presentations between the countries' representatives.

Florida Grouper with Orange Juice, Honey and Soy Glaze
2 tablespoons honey or 2 teaspoons agave
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 small clove garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Grill fish on one side for about 4-6 minutes (depending on thickness and heat of your charcoal). Brush with glaze. Flip fish over. Brush cooked side with remaining glaze. Finish cooking on the second side, another 4-6 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
Remove from grill and place on platter. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

I really can't comment on Subban and Letang because I don't watch much East stuff, but as one living in the Wild area, I watch quite a few Wild games. If anything Suter should get the "most improved" award. He's looking good right now, but at the beginning, he wasn't anything to write home about.
I have to say that the quality of Norris candidates has dropped without Nick in the lineup.
I wonder what we'd look like right now if we had Parise and Suter.

Prior Week: EU Summit Fails, Yet Markets Rally, Here's Why 0 commentsDec 10, 2011 8:00 PM | about stocks: UUP, UDN, FXE, ERO, URR, ULE, EUO, DRR, FXA, FXB, FXC, FXD, FXF, FXEN, FXY, JYF, CYB, GLD, CNY, USO, DUG, USL, NBO, DBV, ICI, CEW, SLV, OIL, SPY, SDS, RSW, BXDC, SPXU, SH, DIA, EWC, EWA, TLT, XHB, ITM, IGOV, VGK, TBT, GSG, DBC, CORN, ICN, SZR, BZF, GRU, DAX-OLD, FRC, DB, SAN, BNO, ENIA
Part 1: Prior Week Market Movers & Their Lessons For the Coming Week
A trader's strategy guide to prior week's market movers and their lessons for the coming week for traders of all major asset classes via both traditional instruments and binary options
Markets moved mostly with headlines and speculation about the EU summit, all else was secondary.
From Monday to Wednesday risk assets traded in a tight range with modest movements up or down. Then came Thursday's plunge, driven by:
- The ECB's ending hopes for a big financial aid plan to contain the debt crisis
- Germany's rejecting key proposals to strengthen the EZ's bailout fund
Friday' news didn't alter this picture.
In sum, the much anticipated summit appeared to utterly fail to provide what markets wanted to see - assurance that there would be all the cash needed to insure against sovereign defaults and the banking collapse and deep recession likely to follow. On the surface
- No quick fiscal integration and prevention of further overspending
- No big new financial bazooka buy GIIPS bonds and thus prevent sovereign defaults
Yet, as of the close Friday, risk assets were rebounding higher, despite any obvious reason for the optimism. Let's take a closer look at the prior week's top market movers, and also try to discern why risk assets held steady despite having every reason to sell off
Let's take a closer look.
If this was supposed to be the summit that ended the EU crisis, then the summit was an unqualified failure. None of the steps believed needed to address the root problems were taken.
- -No agreement on fiscal integration. Yes, steps were taken in that direction, as the agreement committed the leaders to enacting a "fiscal compact" and to work towards a "common economic policy," however thus far all we have are these vague phrases. Once again, just another plan to make a plan.
- --Details are missing (as usual for EU summit agreements)
- --There was nothing thus far stated that suggests enforcement of spending and debt limits will be any more successful than under the Maastricht treaty, which was supposed to do the same thing and was ignored from the start.
- -No massive commitment of cash to prevent Spain and Italy from defaulting, which is what markets really wanted to see.
- --No Euro bonds
- --No new massive cash injections for bailout funds to prevent defaults
- --Nor will there be any ECB bond buying to put a ceiling on GIIPS bond rates, with ECB President Draghi reaffirming a €20 billion ($27 billion) limit on ECB bond-buying per Reuters.
- -No bold new initiatives to spur growth in the GIIPS economies.
Instead, EU leaders will consider enlarging the €500 billion ($667 billion) in funding available to the ESM in March 2012, and lending another to €200 billion ($267 billion) in additional funding to the IMF.
In the end, Merkel and Sarkozy continue to insist that the key to ending the crisis is regulation, while markets are waiting for commitments of cash to prevent default.
Ultimately, we seriously question
- --How many nations will truly be willing to cede control over their budgets (and thus effective sovereignty)
- --Whether there is enough political will anywhere to come up with enough cash to backstop Italian and Spanish sovereign debt.
Note that Germany remains dead set against any kind of debt liability sharing like that of Eurobonds, and also wants treaty changes to allow member nations to leave. This feeds our suspicion that Germany could ultimately be one of the nations to leave if it can find a way to retain trade advantages of the EU without the burdens of other nations' debts.
Regardless of how markets may be reacting today, there is no reason to believe the crisis has seen its worst days.
See here for further details
Yet, risk asset market were up Friday, despite having every reason to conclude the crisis is still very much on. Why?Possible Explanations for Friday's Rally
Here's the possible explanations that I could find.1. No More Bondholder Losses
Those leaders who had insisted that private sector (financial institutions mostly) holders of sovereign debt bear part of the cost of any bailouts via haircuts (partial defaults) dropped this demand. Many correctly see its introduction last July as the cause of the latest crisis. Why should anyone accept low yields on these bonds if in fact they weren't virtually risk free?
EU President, Herman Van Rompuy, stated early Friday:
As regards private-sector involvement, we have made a major change in our doctrine: from now on we will strictly adhere to the IMF principles and doctrines," and added "or, to put it more bluntly, our first approach to PSI, which had a very negative effect on debt markets is now officially over.
So elimination of risk of EU imposed bondholder losses should be great for the banks. But what if, regardless of EU policy, the GIIPS actually can't or won't pay anyway? A Greek default is still a matter of if, not when. Once we get one default, others become much more likely as GIIPS yields rise, bank lending freezes up again, etc.
In other words, dropping PSI (private sector involvement) is meaningless for preventing bondholder losses unless there is some new financial "bazooka" to provide the cash when needed to prevent defaults.2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bazooka?
Global Macro Monitor argues that's exactly the point. By explicitly ending PSI, the EU is implying that public sector bailouts will continue via an implied bazooka whenever the GIIPS need someone to buy their bonds, which are used to repay the holders of maturing bonds.
So why aren't EU leaders being more explicit? An openly declared bazooka would do a better job of calming markets. In a recent post, the writer offers two reasons:

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck says she is "turning a corner physically" after giving birth Nov. 9 to son Taylor, her second child with quarterback-husband Tim Hasselbeck.
In a blog post on her Dreft.com baby diary (titled "Wanted: SLEEP"), Hasselbeck, 30, also offers some intimate details on baby belly buttons. She says 2-year-old daughter Grace has been wondering why Taylor's belly button looks like it does since he came home, being especially curious about the cord. "I told her that it was a belly button cord, and that soon it would fall off, then it would look just like hers."
Then a few days ago, it did actually fall off, but they couldn't find it. Later that night, "Grace yelled-'THERE IT IS!!' I had no idea what she was talking about until I looked over. Sure enough, right there on the floor- was the cord. Oddly, it was both cute and gross at the same time. I was caught somewhere between wanting to save it and wanting to vacuum it!"

Lawyers for two of the three men accused in the Lac-Megantic tragedy are calling for their criminal charges to be dropped. The accused are train engineer Tom Harding, railway traffic controller Richard Labrie and Jean Demaitre, the manager of train operations. They are each charged with 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death _ one for each victim of the July 2013 train derailment. A conviction carries a maximum life sentence. The union that represents Harding and Labrie as well as their lawyers held a news conference in Montreal this afternoon to ask the Crown to drop the charges. Demaitre is not unionized. In its final report into the disaster, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada criticized the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic railway for its ``weak safety culture.'' It also took aim at Transport Canada for its poor oversight of railways, particularly amid a booming oil-by-rail industry across the continent.

In discussing psychoses in children, Bradley (1945) makes an observation about hyperactivity which apparently has gone unquestioned for over 15 years. He says:
In children sustained elevation of mood and exhilaration are not encountered except in response to reasonably appropriate stimuli. Hyperactivity is a frequent symptom of conflict in children, but it is not observed in attacks that are reminiscent of adult mania. Hyperactivity resulting from emotional conflict is usually accompanied by irritability and negativism in children, and to observe it as a pathological symptom in conjunction with exhilarated emotional responses would be a most unusual experience and well worth reporting (p 152).
While irritability often is associated with hyperactivity, this by no means always is true. A survey of the literature as well as personal observations suggest that hyperactivity in children frequently is accompanied by exhilarated emotional responses.

Adult education in Carlsbad, as the name suggests, is the education which is imparted to the adults. Adult education can have different implications for different people. The most common form of adult education is designed for adults who, for some reason or the other, could not get a basic school certificate. Others may take the form of continuing education. Continuing education in Carlsbad is for people who are employed and want to get a higher degree which can help their career grow. Continuing education can help a person increase their technical knowledge and skills.
Thus adult and continuing education are targeted for the adults, be it for getting the basic educational degree or be it for getting higher technical or educational degrees.Other than this, one can take up adult education for having a college degree in a non-traditional setting. There are many who join in these classes just to improve their knowledge.
Classes teaching foreign languages, grooming for professional development, preparing for competitive examinations are different examples of adult and continuing education. Thus, adult and continuing education is solely aimed for improving the learning standards of every individual depending on their needs and specifications.

My poor computer is working overtime tonight.
Over the last two days I've filmed a timelapse video as a group of engineers constructed a special rig.
I just wanted to show the hard work and long hours which go into science.
But now it's a lesson in the hard work and long hours which go into film-making.
For various technical reasons, all the video files (and they are very big) need to go through three pieces of software before I can edit them.
So my (usually) trusty Mac has been crunching the files in the background for the last seven hours.
And it will continue working through the night.
I've been monitoring the computer's CPU temperature as it works. It's currently lurking between 81 and 84 degrees... hotter than usual.
In the end, I expect the three days of work to yield only a few minutes of useful video!!!
The rig being built in the film is just like this one, which I featured in August.

Focus continues on reducing lead and silica exposure, improving fall protection
WASHINGTON -- Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Jonathan L. Snare today signed a two-year renewal of the Sealant, Waterproofing and Restoration Institute (SWRI) Alliance that will continue to focus on safety and health protection efforts for workers in that industry.
Through the OSHA and SWRI Alliance renewal, the organizations will continue to help advance a culture of injury and illness prevention, while sharing best practices on improving workplace safety and health. Originally signed on Feb. 20, 2003, the Alliance's aim is to provide information and guidance on reducing and preventing exposure to lead and silica, as well as emphasize safety concerns in the areas of confined spaces, fall protection and staging requirements.
"This Alliance demonstrates the excellent working relationship between OSHA and SWRI and our common goal of enhancing the safety and health of workers who apply and otherwise work with sealant, waterproofing and restoration products," Snare said. "This joint effort seeks to equip these workers with the skills and resources to identify and prevent workplace hazards before injuries or illnesses occur."
Added SWRI Executive Vice President Ken Bowman: "The Sealant, Waterproofing and Restoration Institute is excited about renewing our Alliance with OSHA. The communication and access to the compliance assistance tools from OSHA representatives and the OSHA Web site has made it possible for SWRI to disseminate valuable safety and health information to our members. The Institute looks forward to continue working with OSHA in addressing key health and safety issues that affect our industry."
As a direct result of the Alliance, OSHA and SWRI developed a safety manual designed to provide basic information on a wide range of important topics within the sealant, waterproofing and restoration industry such as hazard communication, confined space and fall protection.
In addition, OSHA and SWRI will continue to work together to increase access for employees to safety and health information and outreach programs. Both organizations will also continue to develop and disseminate injury and hazard information at conferences and events, and through print and electronic media.
SWRI is a nonprofit corporation of 200 commercial contractors, manufacturers and consultants engaged in the application, design and manufacture of sealant, waterproofing and restoration products.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health.

Until recently everyone knew that Nelson Bunker Hunt and his brother, Herbert, were two of the richest men in the world, but no one could say with any assurance precisely what it was that they owned. Now at least people know what they don't own: namely, nearly a half billion dollars in oil wells and silver that the high-rolling brothers were forced to sell off after the international silver market crashed with them in it. But if the Hunts were upset—not devastated, mind you, just upset—Walter Hoving was downright euphoric. Only the day before silver prices plummeted, the crusty, patrician head of Tiffany & Co. had taken out a newspaper ad to denounce both hoarding of the precious metal and the resulting hyperinflation of prices of articles containing it.
The outspoken Hoving, 82, hadn't named names, but everybody knew whom he meant. Beginning quietly in 1973, the Hunts and a group of their Saudi Arabian friends had purchased nearly $6 billion in silver. They, and other speculators scenting a windfall, had driven the price of the metal from three dollars an ounce in 1972 to nearly $60 early last winter. Tiffany's, never to be confused with Krazy Bob's Discount City, suddenly found itself charging prices that shocked even Hoving, a capitalist to his blueblooded spleen. "We were really ripping off the customers," he confessed, "but we couldn't help it. I thought it was unconscionable that people were accumulating such quantities of silver in complete disregard of other people's welfare," he said. "I mean, photographic film was so expensive that a doctor called me to say he had to charge patients so much for X-rays he simply wasn't taking all that he should."
For Hoving, silver has never been just something to sell. "Our policy," he declares, "is that we at Tiffany's are making the antiques of the future." With posterity in mind, he was appalled when owners anxious to convert their goods into cash began lining up to dispose of their heirlooms. "I think a lot of the sales came from stealing," he says. "There were even stories of burglars with electric furnaces in their vans who melted down what they stole on the spot. Of course," he adds, "if people sold their own antiques and they were from Tiffany's, that too was a crime. I don't think people should buy silver as an investment. They should buy it because it's beautiful or because they need an attractive present for their children or grandchildren," he continues, breaking into a favorite story. "I know of a woman who inherited silver flatware from her grandmother. She in turn gave it to her granddaughter, who promptly went out and sold it. The old lady cut her right out of her will. It served the girl right."
Though he is a man of starchy convictions, not all of those personally authored Hoving ads are either preachy or pugnacious. Some are cunningly commercial. A week before the panic that sent silver costs plunging, he offered customers an unprecedented 15 percent discount on all silver merchandise, explaining that Tiffany's had bought the metal when prices were lower and wanted to pass the saving on to its customers. The day after prices tumbled to $10.80 an ounce, Hoving upped the discount to 25 percent and rejoiced in the apparent triumph of virtue. "A little while ago," he said later, "a nice-looking woman came into the store. She told me that she and her husband had sent their daughter to college and now she was marrying a nice boy. She wanted some presents to come from Tiffany's, she said, 'because we know they'll be right.' That made me very happy. Finally I asked her what business her husband was in and she told me he was a letter carrier. That made me feel better than if I'd sold a million-dollar ring to someone. That's what all this was about." If that sounds un-Tiffany's, well, in 1978 Hoving, the majority stockholder, sold his family firm for $104 million to Avon Products, Inc.

Influenster Review: Colgate Optic White (Part 1)
About six months ago, I started hearing a lot about Influenster, more specifically "Vox Boxes," and with curiosity piqued, decided to check them out. Influenster serves as a near perfected evolution of what Klout hoped their "Perks" would be. It's a free to join community where active members earn the right to receive complimentary products to test and review by earning points via social media-based activities in their self-indicated areas of expertise. One of the reasons I think social media savants and bloggers jumped on board with the platform is because the Influenster team found a way to playfully engineer a gamification element into the formal brand review process, by rewarding members for doing what they already love to do: share their opinions.
My Colgate Optic White Vox Box arrived this afternoon, and I must admit I was a little excited when I saw the postman drop off our mail. (Who isn't excited to receive something other than junk mail or a bill?) I grabbed my umbrella and braved the downpour to see what the box would consist of. Now I don't consider myself to be any sort of expert on ondontology or dentisty, but for some reason (likely due to my demographical information, interests and activity level on social), I made it through the first round of the review screening process. Prior to signing up for the Optic White Vox Box, I received an email letting me know that I made it through that first round. I was asked to fill out a short survey, which consisted of questions revolving around whether or not I'd ever used any whitening products. After a week or two wait, my Optic White Vox Box arrived in the mail.
Optic White Vox Box
Included in the Optic White Vox Box:
- 1 Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen
- 1 Colgate Optic White Toothpaste (Travel Size)
- 6 Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen Manufacturer's Coupons
Looking at the design of the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush and its built-in whitening pen, I found myself pretty impressed with its design and functionality. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but admit that I like the idea of ditching the time-intensive (not to mention awkward) strips and trays. As someone who has used whitening strips in the past, they never fit quite right, and are easily displaced with normal mouth movement (like breathing).
According to Colgate's Optic White website, using the toothbrush and whitening pen is easy as "Brush. Whiten. Go!"
- Brush. Brush as you normally would with your regular toothpaste (or in this case, the ever so conveniently provided Optic White Toothpaste). Their toothbrush is specially designing with something called "polishing bristles," as well as stain removers to help you remove surface stains through your regular brushing routine.
- Whiten. Here's where I think things will get interesting. You turn the dial at the bottom of the whitening pen and apply the gel. According to their site, it will only take seconds to apply and adhere to your teeth – no strips or messy trays (apparently no waiting or rinsing either). The whitening gel dissolves naturally on your teeth over time. (I'm curious to see how long it will take and how strange it will feel. Will I notice?)
- Go. Store the pen inside the brush, so it's ready for your next brush session.
I naturally had a few questions I wanted answered before trying out this product – the first being whether or not this whitening method would be safe for my tooth enamel (I've heard horror stories about other whitening techniques), as well as whether or not it would cause tooth sensitivity. The answer to both comes down to the operator. When used as directed, Colgate states that your tooth enamel should be A-OK, and while use may cause temporary tooth sensitivity for some consumers, the whitening gel shouldn't cause any lasting harm other than the discomfort.
Over the next week, I'll try these products, and will follow up with what I liked or didn't about the experience. In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more about Colgate's Optic White product line-up, I recommend checking out @OpticWhite on Twitter or visiting their Optic White microsite.
It also appears that I have an abundance of coupons now for their Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen, so if you'd like one, give me a shout out in the comments. First come, first serve!

The story, told in flashback, of two young British sprinters competing for fame in the 1924 Olympics. Eric, a devout Scottish missionary runs because he knows it must please God. Harold, the son of a newly rich Jew runs to prove his place in Cambridge society. In a warmup 100 meter race, Eric defeats Harold, who hires a pro trainer to prepare him. Eric, whose qualifying heat is scheduled for a Sunday, refuses to run despite pressure from the Olympic committee. A compromise is reached when a nobleman allows Eric to compete in his 400 meter slot. Eric and Harold win their respective races and go on to achieve fame ...

The mood of Chariots of Fire is sentimental, captivating, and sincere. The plot centers around the life of an athlete, following your dreams, and an obsessive quest. It is a drama, period, and sports movie. In approach, Chariots of Fire is serious and realistic. The setting is Scotland, Paris, and England. It happens in the 1910s and in the 1920s. The musical score of Chariots of Fire is electronica. It is originally a true story. The movie is known for being a modern classic, an Oscar winner, and essential viewing.
Based on a true story, Chariots of Fire is the internationally acclaimed Oscar-winning drama of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a serious Christian Scotsman, believes that he has to succeed as a testament to his undying religious faith. Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Englishman who wants desperately to be accepted and prove to the world that Jews are not inferior. The film crosscuts between each man's life as he trains for the competition, fueled by these very different desires. As compelling as the racing scenes are, it's really th...

In the 1924 Paris Olympics, a Jew and a Scotsman run for Britain.
Het ware verhaal van twee Britse atleten die tegen elkaar strijden op de Olympische Spelen in 1924. De ene is een Schotse man die God aanbidt en de andere is een Joodse student die rent voor beroemdheid.
Critic Consensus :Decidedly slower and less limber than the Olympic runners at the center of its story, the film nevertheless manages to make effectively stirring use of its spiritual and patriotic themes.

|Learning Civics Through the Movies
|Monday, 26 March 2007 09:06
Written by Keith Strohm
Recently, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I actually wasn't the last blogger to post about the movie 300. The fine folks over at Thursday Night Gumbo saw the movie last week and have posted their thoughts. I was particularly taken with Jeff Woodward's reflection upon his viewing.
Rather than just talk about the visuals, Woodward highlighted the movie's demonstration of the civic virtues in the life of the fictionalized spartans. Here's some of what Jeff had to say:
The qualities celebrated in 300 are what we once called the "civic virtues." Love of country. Love of family. Love of civilization – although relatively few human beings in the history of the world have found themselves caught up, as Leonidas was, in a true contest of civilizations. We don't really think in those terms any more. All the virtues publicly celebrated in our own time are virtues linked to individual freedom – the virtues of personal expression, the supreme virtue of being ourselves. If we are exhorted to any "civic virtues" nowadays, they are virtues that would have seemed quite alien, and quite trivial, to the 300 Spartans: avoiding "offensive speech"; minimizing our "carbon footprint" (or paying someone to do it for us); voting higher taxes so that the government can "take care of" all those inconvenient people that we would rather not have to worry about as individual human beings.
I walked out of the theater last night feeling rather ashamed.
I think he has a point.
If Christianity is to be more than merely a place for those who want to exercise a private religious option, if it is to be what Fr. Neuhaus calls, "a very public proclamation of the nature of the world and our place in it," then we must do more to engage with the culture we find ourselves in. Christianity is, among many things, concerned with the good of society and of the individuals within that society--both temporally and eternally. Being salt and leaven means, in the words of John Paul II's Christifideles Laici, "ordering creation to the authentic well-being of humanity."
Thus, authentic Christian formation must provide support for responsible citizenship and the advancement of civic virtues--not in a way that entangles patriotism and religion in wrong relationship, but rather in a way that promotes the just (rightly-ordered) participation of men and women of faith in government and civic activity. Such civic activity should by no means exclusively proceed utilizing theological principles (though it should remain in harmony with the gospel). Rather, men and women of faith are called on to propose gospel-based solutions to particular issues utilizing a common language and common reason to engage in authentic dialogue with their fellow citizens.
In that way, we can fulfill the Great Commission and evangelize the culture and institutions of our time with the light of the gospel in a way that respects the dignity and the freedom of others. If we truly believe that Christ has shown us "a more excellent way," then we should not be afraid to advance that Way in a manner that is intelligible to non-Christians (1Cor 12:31).
It seems that Frank Miller's Spartans have much to teach us.

Brown wings are an honour bestowed to a good chap who has had anal sex with a female (human).
Brown wings have an 'expiry time' of twelve months and are revoked after that period unless you keep up your 'air-time'. This constitutes at least one trip up bourneville boulevard from the initial date that you joined the Brown Squadron. Failure to do so will see you grounded,and no airman wishes that upon himself. Sticking your finger up her bum does not qualify you as a holder of brown wings, you will only be ranked as air cadet for this particular feat.

MARTINSBURG - Blaise Christian Sitchet's first language is not English, though he speaks it well. He was not born and raised in America, but he represents a portion of the American dream with which natural-born citizens may not be familiar.
The Cameroon-born Martinsburg resident came to the United States 14 years ago in order to study graphic design. Now a loan servicing specialist, Sitchet is beginning a creative foray into the film industry.
Entitled "I Am An American," the film chronicles the journey of a west African immigrant to Martinsburg. Sitchet describes the somewhat biographical film as a journey of a man trying to obtain his life goals and deal with the culture clashes he faces.
Article Photos
"I Am An American," Martinsburg filmmaker Blaise Sitchet's first film, premieres at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Apollo Civic Theater in Martinsburg. The film chronicles a west African immigrant's journey to success in America.
"The conflict of culture is huge," Sitchet said of African immigrants, who tend to stay in their comfort zones. "The main character of this movie is choosing a different way. (He) is opening himself to the world, to other cultures."
The film was recently played at the World Music and Independent Film Festival in Washington, D.C. It was nominated for best actress, best supporting actress, best comedy and best African film.
"I never experienced any sensation like that in my life," Sitchet said of the red carpet event.
Written and directed by Master June Daguiso, the film proved to be a challenging project for first-time producer Sitchet, who also serves as the main character.
"It was something new to me," he said. "I'd never done cinema before."
"I Am An American" is set to premiere at the Apollo Theater in Martinsburg at 8 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $10, and 20 percent of the proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Sitchet will be available after the showing to discuss the film and recruit actors for his next project.

Spoiler Alert: Antonio Esfandiari, Sam Trickett and Phil Ivey do not make the final table.
Poker fans rooting for a repeat televised showdown between 2012 Big One for One Drop champion Antonio Esfandiari and runner-up Sam Trickett will be disappointed as there will be no rematch this year.
MORE: Schemion, Smith flip-flop at the top of GPI World Rankings | Daniel Negreanu Player of the Month | WSOP November Nine Set
Day 2 of ESPN's coverage of the $1 million buy-in World Series of Poker charity event began with 16 players and played down to a nine-handed final table.
Key eliminations included England's Sam Trickett, Phil Ivey and defending champion Antonio Esfandiari, who was eliminated at the hands of German star Tobias Reinkemeier.
With 11 players remaining, "Magic Antonio" lost all his chips in two all-in preflop situations in which he was dominated.
Esfandiari lost over 7 million chips in the first all-in preflop hand versus Reinkemeier, where his Ace-Nine was beaten by Ace-King.
His final 5 million chips went into the pot a few minutes later in the televised episode. This time, the defending champion held Ace-Five versus the German's Ace-Jack. Upon losing the hand, Esfandiari was officially eliminated in 10th place.
Reinkemeier, who is Germany's all-time live poker tournament money leader, will be the chip leader at the nine-handed final table when ESPN's televised coverage continues on Tuesday, August 12.
Other player who will appear on ESPN's final One Drop telecast include six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu, 2013 PCA Super High Roller winner Scott Seiver, and online heads-up specialist Daniel Colman.
TV viewers will see the money bubble burst Tuesday just after 8:00pm Eastern Time, with the 2014 Big One for One Drop final hand being broadcast just before 10:00pm.
