After defeating Georgetown 2-1 on Friday and 6-2 on Saturday, the Cardinals offense opened up on Sunday, notching a 13-7 win to close the series.
"It was good to get back on the winning side of things this weekend," said Cardinals head coach Dan McDonnell. "We did it with a little bit of everything during the three days. We had some quality starts on the mound. We played good defense at times and got the bats going today. It was encouraging to see us put it together offensively today. You have to be able to win a lot of different ways in this game. Hopefully, we're back on track now."
Six Cardinals enjoyed multi-hit outings on Sunday, with Nick Ratajczak, Cole Sturgeon and Zak Wasserman all going 3-for-4 at the plate.
Designated hitter Jeff Gardner went 2-for-4, including his fourth home run of the season. The junior from Louisville Whitefield Academy drove in 5 runs and scored twice.
Outfielder Coco Johnson continued his hot streak. The junior was 2-for-3 and also went yard, connecting on his fourth home run. Johnson, who drove in two and scored 3 times, has now reached base safely in a career best 18 straight games.
With three weeks left in the regular season, Louisville is two games out of first place in the Big East Conference standings with an 11-4 record. USF leads the way at 13-2 while Pittsburgh is one game behind at 12-3.
With Sunday's win, Louisville improved to 26-5 at home this season. The Cardinals will host Western Kentucky on Tuesday at 6 p.m., ET at Jim Patterson Stadium and admission is free.

Representing "We The People" in
ARENAC, BAY, GENESEE, IOSCO, and Eastern SAGINAW & Western TUSCOLA COUNTIES
First let me say that I'm not a lawyer. I think we have too many in government already and nothing is getting done. I am a hard-working small business owner who believes that anyone with drive and a willingness to serve can make a difference. I represent a new breed of Republicans who align themselves as "Constitutional Conservatives" whose common goal is to put the power back in the hands of the people.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth and have suffered greatly like many others since the economy crash in 2007. What has helped me over the years is my constant drive to do better no matter what the circumstances. I have a unique perspective of the common man's struggle which is rare in Washington. Most politicians are out of touch with real American's and their plight.
As a nation we must realize there is no government entitlement program that will bring people out of poverty. It is an individuals hard work and diligence that is needed to bring about change in their situation. Governments job should be to get out of their way and let them do what is needed.
In order for this economy to prosper again, we need existing businesses to grow and for individuals to open new businesses from which I know from personal experience is not an easy thing to do, and to encourage manufacturing to expand operations to areas where jobs were once thriving but have since moved out of the area like we see in this district.
This country needs people who care about preserving freedom, limiting the scope of government in our lives, limiting unnecessary regulations and taxes so businesses can grow and create more jobs, make it possible to utilize our natural resources to their full potential to lower energy costs, and make sure everyone has an educational opportunity to better themselves so every generation can have a fighting chance to achieve "The American Dream".
In this site I have highlighted some of my ideas to bring back jobs and create more job opportunities with much-needed education reform, economic reform and just plain common sense ideas that will benefit us all. It's not going to be easy and it won't happen overnight but we must start somewhere.
If elected in 2016, I promise to do my very best to get this country back on the path our founders envisioned where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. I have high hopes we can change the direction of this nation for real growth and prosperity but it starts with you.
Thank You for your continued support,
Al Hardwick
It's time for politicians to work for the people and not special interest groups or big corporations.

Over the course of ten years, this extensive qualitative study focused on the academic resilience phenomenon. The research delves into the educational resilience experiences of fifty low socioeconomic students of color from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition to chronicling specific protective factors and processes active in the students' lives, several symbiotic relationships between groups of protective factors are documented and explored. A Resilience Cycle theory, which was chronicled in previous works of the authors, is used as a framework to view essential elements of the students' academic success. Ultimately, the data and findings are used to propose practical suggestions for promoting academic resilience in at-risk youth nationwide. Furthermore, because one author specializes in education and the other in psychology, both of these disciplines are brought to bear on this crucial and understudied topic.

This review is from: Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Were good and fast when they worked.
Cons: almost unbelievable ironic mortality rate on these. have had in a qnap nas drive since october 2012 (it is may 8 2014 as of writing) it was 8 of these drives, 1 drive failed last week, not and issue i replaced and the raid rebuilt, this week 2 drives failed at the same time. odds seem unreal, but it happened. replacing all of the drives now as i'm not sure how long they will last and this is a backup drive.
tl;dr 3 drives failed within a year and a half, 2 at the same time and 1 a week before.
This review is from: Zotac ZBOXNANO-ID64-U 1 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Pros: I now own 3 of these, i work IT in a warehouse and slowly upgrading from P4 slim dell workstations. i decided to try one of these out to just display powerpoints on a tv all day. and was surprised by the power of it. (i had ordered an atom version a few weeks prior and it was just awful.) the cpu is decent, the wireless is decent, hdmi out, dvi out, usb 3, sd card, bluetooth, and it mounts to the back of the monitors and doesn't get clutter everywhere, an IT dream machine. only downfall i can see is when this thing goes, there is no repair, only ram and hdd can swap. MAYBE the wireless card, but i didn't see it, nor am i using it. i love how small they are, i didn't notice the fan noise at all, but again, factory setting here. all in all, would recommend to people for out of the way installs and just tiny things needed, not sure how well it would work as htpc as it is onboard graphics, didn't have anything to test that with.
Cons: faster cpu? 1 more ram slot? i mean, nitpicking to the bone here i think it is great.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: APC BE350G Back-UPS 350 VA 6-outlet Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Pros: Works great, loud alarm, lots of outlets.
Cons: Less than 90 days and my battery went bad, contacted APC and they are sending me a replacement battery, so in this aspect it is exactly why i purchased from APC, 3 year warranty. the reason i still have 4 egg review, because it will work fine after a new battery is in it, and faulty batteries happen. but them charging 0 to replace, and FREE return shipping is great.READ FULL REVIEW

You have to hand it to these tantalizing Trail Blazers. They sure do keep things interesting. In one of the most improbable and impressive performances of the season, the Trail Blazers had another you-had-to-be-there-to-believe-it outing, defeating the Miami Heat 92-90 Thursday night before a national TNT audience and a sellout crowd of 20,536 at the Rose Garden.
Blazers Stun Miami Heat, Continue Improbable Season

There are other specific exercises which will increase the strength
of the core muscles. Even the dental filling and materials for teeth restoration that were used
earlier for cosmetic dentistry were made of gold, amalgam and other metals.
The American Association of Orthodontists
has recommended for years that children be evaluated by an orthodontist by age
7 because by then, the first adult molars have erupted.
While the costs of Invisalign are a little higher
than those of traditional metal braces, the price difference is more than worth it for teenagers in terms of
comfort, appearance and social life. It offers an enhanced way of enhancing
smile of individuals who have misaligned teeth.
This polishing assists the tooth receiving its original
shine and color. These days there are lots of changes and advancements
in the way tooth problems are treated. The entire course of plan is so planned that all the needs
are fulfilled in the best possible ways. Joint sound is one of the most
recognized signs of TMJ disorders. My dentist
first mentioned it to me before my son was born.

The beach is a popular place for people to take their dogs this time of year.
However, staff at VCA Palmetto Animal Hospital in Carolina Forest recently saw a severe case of salt intoxication or salt poisoning after a dog had been playing in the waves on the beach.
Bishop said it wasn't obvious to the owners that something more significant was going on until the next day when the dog started having seizures.
Salt intoxication or salt poisoning will typically happen when dogs drink too much salt water. This causes the dog to become very dehydrated internally, which includes its brain tissue.
"It's basically consuming a sufficient amount of salt to cause tissue damage when you rehydrate the tissue," said Dr. Laurel Berger Bishop, who is a medical director at the animal hospital.
Dr. Berger-Bishop says rehydrating the dog has to be done carefully, because if it happens to quickly, then the dehydrated internal brain tissue can become flooded with water and swell. This can cause brain damage.
Symptoms of salt intoxication or salt poisoning include increased thirst, diarrhea, lethargy, vomitting, tremors, and seizures. Dr. Berger-Bishop said the symptoms are similar to when your dog is overheated.
She also has some advice to prevent this from happening to your dog the next time you're out at the beach,
"Make sure that they really have plenty of water to drink so they're not tempted into drinking the salt water. And, I would limit the amount of time theyre running in and out of the water, " said Dr. Berger-Bishop.
Dogs can also come down with salt intoxication or salt poisoning symptoms even if they don't drink salt water, according to Dr. Berger-Bishop.
If dogs have become dehydrated after running around in the heat and then consume a lot of water, the same type of internal tissue swelling can happen.

Sometimes I'm asked exactly how much I traveled recently. I logged in to TripIt (I have premium and it tracks all of my travel for me) and checked out my 2012 travel by the numbers. Here's all of the travel I did since January:
- 8 cruise nights, on 2 different cruises
- 19 total trips
- 5 trips to Walt Disney World
- 12 round-trip flights
- 3 countries (US, Canada, the Cayman Islands)
- 59 hotel nights (excluding the cruises)
- 4 conferences
Wow! No wonder I felt very burnt out by the end of the year and actually canceled one of the trips I had planned.
I've got less travel planned in the New Year – although I still have a huge travel bucket list to conquer!

Really good.
not impressed at all
The room we were initially put into had electrical faults.
Room we were moved to had intermittent heating one minute in a fridge the next an oven. Room was sold as a family room, if you can count a very cheap and uncomfortable bed settee as a bed. My son refused to sleep in it it was so uncomfortable
Breakfast was disgusting, I paid £9.99 for the three of us and had two slices of toast. The cooked breakfast had clearly been cooked a long time previously and left on a hot plate so was shrivelled and unpalatable
Won't be staying with this chain again.

This quarter is pretty much finished, only 2 weeks left. Next quarter, will will still get some holiday sales and 1 month of the new BB10, so, I believe that timing is great!!!!
"fine"? read the ER from the past four quarters. the writing's been on the wall for a while now.
BB10 isn't enough to save them.
No Holiday Sales!!!! Count On It. Why????
Well if you are a die hard fan, then you will buy nothing untill this so called BB10 comes out and proves itself. Besides which BB phone would you buy or upgrade to at this point. NADA.
Rimm has to keep the customers from jumping ship, so they keep putting out tid bits of info, enough to keep the last of the fans hanging on. Maybe around theend of March you will see a phone on the store shelf for you to try.
If a phone is a phone is a phone to you, then you might have something.
You guys make this holiday as the end of the world. As if there will be no one buying anything or contract renewal the day after Christmas.
Is there a DEEP freeze after Christmas that I don't know about? Are all the future ten years consumer purchases all going to be done before this Christmas? I must be the last one to know.
You bashers, do you know how ridiculous you sound, not as a reasonable adult but like irrational children.
Holiday sales. Riiiight.
Can you please give your definition of "fine"? Are you using either of these definitions?
a. "superior in kind, quality and appearance"
b. "very well"
Why is it the shorts are still hanging on? I hope they lose a lot on this stock!!!!

Peyton challenger can't hide his disappointment
So is it more difficult being the champion defending your crown or the challenger chasing a perennial winner?
Peyton High School graduate Chase Bowers figured three-time National Little Britches Finals Rodeo all-around champ Shade Etbauer of Goodwell, Okla., was in a tougher position at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.
"I would think the pressure would be harder on him because of the expectation to do well in order to stay at the top," said Bowers, who came into this year's NLBFR ranked No. 3 in the senior division with an eye on Etbauer's reign.
Two days into the weeklong competition, though, Etbauer has turned in a couple of high marks, while Bowers is struggling after the first-go round performances.
Etbauer has the top saddle bronc score midway through the competition with a 76 and is fifth in steer wrestling with an 8.11-second clocking. He finished 18th in the team-roping and competed late Tuesday in the tie-down roping event.
Bowers, meanwhile, failed to score on his bull ride when he was bucked off in 2.28 seconds and was assessed 10-second penalty times in his tie-down roping and team-roping performances. He finally got on the board in Tuesday's steer wrestling with a 13.18 clocking.
Bowers voiced disappointment that he didn't do better in the first go-round.
"I've not done very good at all. It's not what I'm used to," he said. "Hopefully, I can turn it around and get going in the second round."
Bowers, who also played baseball and football for the Peyton Panthers, came into the NLBFR expecting to battle Etbauer for the all-around honors.
"I broke an ankle last year in Alamosa and didn't get my cast off until three days before (the national finals) and could only team rope.
"I was doing better than I ever had," he said of his performances going into this week. "I've just picked the wrong time (to not score). Everything is so unpredictable . . . You either are going to have the best or the worst rodeo of your life."

At 1 a.m. Sunday, Benjamin Fritz, 21, somehow managed to drive his 2010 Nissan Titan across three sets of railroad tracks along Front Street.
The truck somehow crossed the tracks until it reached the fourth set. The front end came apart and when the front hit the track, the truck flipped into the air and landed on its top between the tracks, according to the police report.
The front and side air bags deployed but Fritz was injured and taken to the hospital. The $18,000 truck was totaled. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor, police said.

Italy Offers To Share Custody With Getty
LOS ANGELES—An Italian government official on Monday offered to end a long legal fight with the J. Paul Getty Museum by proposing shared custody of a 2,300-year-old bronze statue known as "Victorious Youth."
Italy claims the Getty procured the statue from illicit art dealers, which museum officials deny. Now, however, the governor of Italy's Marche Region—near where the statue was found—is trying both to resolve the matter and boost his home's profile among American tourists by proposing a "cultural exchange" between the Getty and his region.
"We have not come to declare war on the Getty," Gov. Gian Mario Spacca said at a hotel here Monday. "We are here to try to resolve the dispute in a way that will benefit this great museum, the people of Italy and, most important, art lovers around the world."
Getty officials said the object wasn't up for discussion because of the legal process. An Italian judge is expected to issue a decision in a few weeks.
"We want to stress…that we continue to be completely confident of our ownership of the Getty bronze, and we will vigorously defend our position," said Ron Hartwig, spokesman for the J. Paul Getty Trust, which oversees the J. Paul Getty Museum.
The dispute has been simmering for years. In 2005, Italy brought criminal charges against Marion True, the Getty's former antiquities curator, accusing her of procuring looted works. The charges were dropped last year.
In 2007, the Getty agreed to return 40 objects to Italy. The bronze, displayed at the Getty Villa Museum in Pacific Palisades, wasn't part of that deal.
Mr. Spacca and an Italian delegation met with Getty officials and viewed the statue last week. He said in an interview Monday that he has "the authority to offer the exchange" and "the support of the Italian government."
A deal would help raise the Marche's profile as it prepares to launch a tourism campaign featuring the actor Dustin Hoffman.

LEXINGTON, OHIO, JULY 17 – Team Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes took sole possession of the American Superbike championship by holding off a persistent Ben Bostrom (Pat Clark Motorsports Yamaha) over 21 hot laps of the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.Hayes had come into the first of the weekend's two races tied in points with Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Tommy Hayden. But as soon as the race began, Hayes went to the front and Hayden got shuffled back a few spots. Then it was a struggle to catch back up to the leaders.Hayes and Bostrom gradually cleared out while Hayden slipped back as far as fifth. Foremost Insurance Pegram Racing's Larry Pegram ran a strong third for much of the race, with National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Jake Zemke an early fourth.The leaders were well clear of any possible attack by about the ninth lap. Then it was just a matter of Bostrom finding an opening. Hayes never let him. The gap at the line changed from lap to lap, but it was never over a second mostly less than half a second.On the final lap it looked like Bostrom was going to make his move into the hard braking turn six right at the end of the back straight. Bostrom clearly got hard on the brakes, but Hayes had anticipated the move and came through more smoothly. And from there to the end he was able to defend his position."The last lap I didn't get the best drive onto the back straight," Hayes said. "I had kinda planned to block it a little bit anyway, but I kinda went down the middle of the back straightaway held it kinda tight on the exit, broke deep and to the inside and just made sure I didn't leave any big holes out there and give him any opportunities. It wasn't going to be a gift. And i was very fortuante. I feel kinda lucky that I beat him around to the line. He had a great bike, just like mine, and today was, one rmore time it was my day. It could be his any day now. I'm going to try to not let it happen"The margin of victory was .219 secs.Hayden was faster over the final half of the race, and especially the last four laps, and was able to make the pass on the 19th of 21 laps. He finished 5.131 secs. behind Bostrom after slowing on the final lap."Definitely not what I expected," Hayden said. "I expected a minimum to be up there battling with these guys for the lead and then see what happens, but didn't work out today and come back and try and do better tomorrow"The win was Hayes' fourth of the year and fourth in the last five races. Going into Sunday's race he has a ten point lead, 260 to 250 over Hayden. Zemke, who finished sixth today, is third with 230 points.M4 Monster Energy Suzuki's Jake Holden finished a solitary fifth, as did the others behind him. Zemke was alone in sixth and teammate Brett McCormick (Jordan Suzuki) was well clear of Eric Bostrom. Bostrom, who had brake issues, finished eighth in his return to racing on the Cycle World Attack Performance Yoshimura Suzuki.Kurtis Roberts had less success in his return. Roberts was running in 12th place on the 13th lap when he lost the rear on the exit of the Keyhole, fell to the inside and watched his Ridersdiscount.com Yamaha ghost ride into the infield.Holden's teammate Chris Ulrich finished ninth and 4.26 secs. in front of Wazne Racing Ciclo Werks BMC Dewildt Honda's Jordan Szoke.

Check out this new fresh hell from Weasel Zippers:
Manila - US President Barack Obama has sent a letter to the leader of the main Muslim rebel group in the Philippines, a guerrilla official said Saturday.
The letter to Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman Murad Ibrahim was delivered to rebel peace negotiators by Deputy Assistant State Secretary Scot Marciel, according to Muhammad Ameen, chairman of the MILF secretariat. Ameen said Marciel and two other US diplomats met MILF peace negotiators headed by Mohagher Iqbal on November 6. Ameen did not disclose the contents of the letter but said it was a response to a letter Murad sent to Obama after he won the election last year.
September 20,2008: MILF officially declared jihad on Filipino government...
MANILA, Philippines —Religious leaders in Lanao are calling for a jihad (holy war) in fighting "oppressors" against Islam, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) claimed Saturday.
In a statement on its website (www.luwaran.com), the MILF said the calls were made in sermons of religious leaders during Friday congregational prayers.
"Sermons of the religious leaders of Lanao provinces in Friday's congregational prayers called on the Bangsamoro to unite and wage jihad fi sabilillah in fighting the oppressors, religious persecutors and enemies of Islam," it said.
Here's a screen-grab from their official website (they've scrubbed it of most jihad-related content over the last few months)...

Good Sports #2 - HotHouse
Models: Doug Acre and James Ryder
Film: Good Sports
Studio: Hot House
James dominates his teammates on and off the court. After practice the hung athlete pulls Doug aside to show him who's in charge. He gets the young blond rookie to worship his gear then pulls out his giant cock and shoves it down Doug's throat. Captain Ryder fucks Acre's throat then pulls down the young stud's jock to get a look at his growing whopper. James can't resist sucking the monster but it's really Doug's ass that he's after. He kicks back with his cock in the air and orders Doug to sit down on it. Ryder fucks a load out of Acre then pulls out, jacks off, and shoots all over his teammate's chest and abs.

Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'

Having won two Emmys playing Meathead's wife, Sally Struthers is back with the answer: The increasingly confident Gloria would have become matchmaker Dolly Levi, rendered sharper and more pragmatic by life's knocks but still every bit as warm and loving, and even more of a stitch. »Read Full Article
First Stage's 'Best Christmas Pageant Ever' scores hit
Scrooge may hog the theatrical limelight during the holiday season, but he's hardly the only one with a story of improbable redemption. Just ask the six troublemaking Herdman kids, who are doing some attention-grabbing of their own in First Stage Children's Theater's eighth production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever."
Early in the Barbara Robinson novel that inspired this play, the narrating Beth Bradley tells us that she and her classmates figured the Herdman clan — poor, dirty and rough — "were headed straight for hell." Sure enough, director Jeff Schaetzke opens the show by bringing the Herdmans onstage from below, surrounded by a swirl of smoke. »Read Full Article(2)

Review Details
Citizen Messenger Bag
- Product Review (submitted on April 30, 2013):
I had heard a lot about Chrome bags but I never had the need to buy one until a month ago. My old backpack kept leaking water and it annoyed me enough to buy a Citizen. I was worried about space and was torn between the Mini Metro and the Citizen, but honestly I have not had any issues. I typically carry my 15" MBP with a case, a notebook, folders, book, some art supplies, water bottle, lunch and there's usually still a little room for more things. It can get heavy after a while, but the padded strap helps. I'm a 5'4" female and the bag doesn't feel too large for my size. So I would definitely recommend the Citizen if you're undecided. The craftsmanship is superb. I never feel like the bag will fall apart and I'm extremely thankful that is is waterproof. The weather hasn't been cooperating enough for me to ride my bike long distances with the bag on, but so far it has stayed put on my back.
Conclusion: I'd recommend you get one!

Three Stocks with Very High Dividend Yields 0 commentsIncome stocks are always an important part of any investor's portfolio and high dividend stocks are always of interest, especially for retiree's portfolios. Here are three stocks with high dividend yields that are worth knowing and researching.Frontier Communication Corp (FTR)
Trading Volume: 13,713,656
Frontier Communications Corporation, a communications company, provides regulated and unregulated voice, data, and video services to residential, business, and wholesale customers in the United States. It offers local and long distance voice services, including basic telephone wireline services to residential and business customers; switched access services that allow other carriers to use the facilities to originate and terminate their long distance voice and data traffic; and directory services that provide white and yellow page directories for residential and business listings.
With an average dividend yield of 9.4% over the last 5 years FTR is definitively an income stock. A company whose leadership is deeply committed to its dividend, FTR has been in a downward pattern since its peak in January of 2011. With an ambitious broadband growth program in place and cash outlay, those dividends may not remain as high. A goods investor also might explore buying the stock long term and using an options to increase income.
American Capitol Agency Corp (AGNC)
Volume: 3,470,597
American Capital Agency Corp. operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT). It invests in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or U.S. Government-sponsored entity. The company funds its investments primarily through short-term borrowings structured as repurchase agreements.One of three REIT's that beat third quarter analysts expectations, they continue to perform well and consistently. With a solid management team investors can count on this type of performance to continue. Todd Johnson wrote an article on AGNC and this is what he wrote about the management team: "The team has provided AGNC-shareholders consistent results that outperform the respective mREIT sector. The company has paid a $1.40 dividend for 9-quarters. The book value per share was $26.76 as of June 30th, 2011." Look for high yields to continue from this company.
Nokia Corp (NOK)
Volume: 24,177,048
Nokia Corporation manufactures and sells mobile devices, and provides Internet and digital mapping and navigation services worldwide. Its Devices & Services segment develops and manages a portfolio of mobile devices; and services comprising applications and content. It also offers Internet services focusing on navigation, applications and games, music, and mail, as well as on the tools that enable developers to create applications under the Ovi brand name.With the Lumia 800 phone expected to fight its way into smartphone share holder space via Microsoft platform, Nokia is developing a nice income stream for its future. NOK has a forwarding dividend yield of 8.3% and that should continue. With the recent drop in price due to analyst downgrade of Lumia 800 sales expectations, NOK might be a good buy. NOK is the world leader in mobile phone sales, but needs to break into the smartphone market where growth and profitability have the greatest potential right now.
As a savvy investor it is important to note that high dividend can become a problem when a company is growing but can find nothing better to do with its profits than pay dividends. Maybe it should be used to develop new projects designed to expand the business. Is the company using its money to hire new employees or investing in opportunities that would create additional jobs? Do your research. By paying a dividend, the company is proving that it has financial strength and will be around for a while, but the entity may also be doing itself a disservice.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Warsaw showcases local pics
The Warsaw Film Festival will toast an upbeat year -- with a record number of Polish pics produced -- at its gala opening Friday.
The Warsaw Film Festival will toast an upbeat year -- with a record number of Polish pics produced -- at its gala opening Friday.
Jan Hrebejk's "Kawasaki's Rose" has been selected as the Czech Republic's contender for the foreign pic Oscar.
One cloud over the future of Czech film incentives has lifted with an announcement by the new administration that it plans to keep them rolling out next year to the tune of $18.4 million.
American film-school students have been known to complain that their professors have little to offer in the way of practical experience.
The Czech Republic's newly passed production incentives seem to be proving their worth.
Czech producers lobby to protect a key source of coin -- advertising on pubcaster Czech TV.
Up until fall of Berlin Wall, most state TV aired shows intended to calm and distract viewers.
With typical diffidence, Vaclav Havel waited until everyone else got their freedom before taking his share.
Czech producers say foreign filmmakers have just six months to take advantage of the country's new production incentives.
The 45th Karlovy Vary Film Festival wrapped Saturday with praises for Eastern European film and a Crystal Globe for film for Spanish helmer Agusti Vila's ensembler "The Mosquito Net" at the closing…
Incentives for foreign productions are fine but don't count on them to revive business.

Recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers (2016)
By Richard Yerema and Kristina Leung, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Nov 8, 2015)
Here are some of the reasons why Great-West Life Assurance Company, The was selected as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers (2016) and Manitoba's Top Employers (2016):
- Great-West Life encourages ongoing employee development through in-house training programs, tuition subsidies for courses taken at outside institutions (including general interest courses), summer and co-op opportunities and dedicated rotational programs for students completing their actuarial or accounting designation
- Great-West Life takes a holistic approach to employee well-being through a wellness spending account that can be used for mental health, physical health and sporting activities, subsidized membership to an impressive onsite fitness facility at the head office, and a number of employee sports leagues and tournaments, including hockey, curling, soccer, volleyball and golf
Wellness is a part of life at Great-West Life
At Great-West Life, wellness is more than just a word. "As a business, our focus is to improve the financial, physical and mental well-being of Canadians," says Cathy Weaver, Vice-President of Human Resources, Canada. "As an employer, we apply that same philosophy to the people who work for us. We understand the link between the health and wellness of our employees and the achievement of our business objectives."
Great-West offers its clients a variety of life, health and disability insurance, retirement savings, and investment products, both to individuals and employees under group benefits plans. It hires about 1,000 new employees a year across Canada. While many have actuarial and accounting backgrounds, a growing number are in digital services, IT and other non-financial professions.
Staff benefit from a corporate culture that encourages them to address their wellness in the workplace and helps them achieve work-life balance. These two themes were reflected when Great-West introduced employee wellness accounts and paid personal days in January 2015. Both were identified as priorities in a recent staff engagement survey.
Wellness accounts can be used to pay for recreational equipment and activities. "Wellness means different things to different people," says Weaver. "Our staff are at different stages of life, so we created a program flexible enough to fit their different needs."
The wellness account program has already reimbursed over $750,000 in employee expenditures. For example, a Winnipeg couple, both employees, combined their allotments to buy a $600 canoe. Exercise bikes, hiking boots and fitness class fees are typical of the more than 4,000 claims submitted.
This year, staff members don't necessarily need to use vacation days to take care of family-related or other issues. "We recognize that 'life happens' to all of our employees outside of work," says Weaver. Flexibility is key, as staff can arrange with their own supervisors to take up to two personal days as needed.
The company maintains a team of eight nurses and three support staff at its main offices in Winnipeg, London, Regina and Toronto. They provide physical care such as immunization and screening programs, wellness education and counselling to employees, help them access the Employee Assistance Program and do ergonomic assessments.
The nurses also follow up on occupational health and safety issues and help employees return to work after suffering a disability. "Our goals are to help people stay healthy, stay well, and stay working," says Annastasia Lambert, Associate Manager, Health Services.
Two years ago, when an employee suffered a stroke at the Winnipeg office, the nurses used their expertise to fast-track an ambulance for her, then later helped her transition back to work with accommodations. "It's satisfying to feel we've made a difference in someone's life, but it doesn't have to be that dramatic," says Lambert. "It can also be helping someone stop smoking or lose weight."
Staff at three main locations also benefit from subsidized memberships at on-site fitness centres, open seven days a week. About half of employees at those locations have joined. The fitness centres offer a variety of exercise classes, and members can hire a personal trainer.
The company also promotes active lifestyles by sponsoring employee sports leagues, including 12 hockey teams (for both men and women), regular curling bonspiels and golf tournaments.
To encourage healthy eating, each of the four main company locations has a full-size cafeteria offering a salad bar and other nutritious food choices.
"Individuals are expecting more than a pay cheque," says Weaver. "They want a workplace that aligns with their values and where they can influence the culture."
Recognized as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People (2016)
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Jan 10, 2016)
Here are some of the reasons why Great-West Life Assurance Company, The was selected as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People (2016):
- Great-West Life manages a scholarship and work placement program in partnership with University of Winnipeg for Business Administration or Economics students -- additionally, actuarial and CA students working at Great-West Life may have opportunity to rotate departments or cities, including London, Toronto, Winnipeg
- Great-West Life recruits second and third year accounting students from the University of Manitoba who are interested in pursuing the CPA designation and offers 4-month co-op and summer placements
Great-West Life builds talent with student interns
When opportunity knocked, Kim Fierback answered. In 2011, Fierback was an accounting student at the University of Manitoba doing recruitment interviews with several potential employers when The Great-West Life Assurance Company came calling.
"What stood out with Great-West Life was the diverse range of experience I could have while still a university student," Fierback recalls. "The training program offers optional rotations in a choice of nine different departments. Seeing accounting from multiple angles is pretty rare."
Fierback began at Great-West Life as a CA student intern in 2011, and following graduation from university became a full- time staff member in September 2014. She continues to work toward completing her designation, now known as a CPA.
Great-West Life offers a variety of life, health and disability insurance, retirement savings and investment products, both to individual Canadians and to employees under group benefits plans. The company hired about 1,000 new employees across Canada last year, just over half of whom were under 30. While many have actuarial or accounting backgrounds, a growing number are in IT and other non-financial professions.
"Approximately 15 per cent of our workforce is under the age of 30," says Cathy Weaver, Vice-President of Human Resources, Canada. "We want to continue to build that number. Young people bring new skill sets and new perspectives that we are interested in learning from. They are also our succession planning pool for the future."
As it did with Fierback, Great-West Life often makes its first connection with its future accountants and actuaries at the university level when they do co-op placements at the company. "We provide paying jobs while they are students and give them paid time off to study while they are employed here," says Weaver. The company also provides internships for students in human resources and IT.
Once they're members of the Great- West Life team, new employees are encouraged to continue their education. The company offers in- house training programs, such as leadership development, and also supports external courses on subjects such as insurance basics, group benefits and accounting management. For other career-related external courses, each employee is eligible for a credit of up to $2,000 a year.
The company's commitment to work/ life balance resonates with young employees such as Fierback. Great- West Life offers part-time work arrangements as well as full-time with flexible starting times in the work day.
"During my rotation in the Human Resources Financial Management department, I did a compressed work week for a couple of months, working a bit longer each day in return for an additional day off every two weeks," says Fierback. "It certainly helped me with my studies."
Great-West Life gives employees the opportunity to do more than simply work. Employees can also receive paid time off to volunteer for worthy causes. Fierback and seven of her colleagues recently devoted a day to painting the offices and kitchen of Winnipeg's Pregnancy and Family Support Services, a United Way agency.
The company promotes active lifestyles by sponsoring employee sports leagues, including hockey teams (for both men and women), regular curling bonspiels, and golf tournaments. Employees at three main locations benefit from nominal membership fees at on-site fitness centres, open seven days a week.
Employee wellness accounts, launched in January 2015, can be used to pay for a variety of recreational equipment and activities. The program has reimbursed over $750,000 in employee expenditures so far. Exercise bikes, hiking boots and fitness class fees are typical of the more than 4,000 claims submitted to date.
"Our employees are at different stages of life, so we created a program that is flexible enough to fit their different needs," says Weaver. "We value the contributions of our younger employees, and we're working to make Great-West Life an attractive employer for people at all stages of their careers."

Abstract: One of the most recurrent themes in both Physics and Mathematics, is the study and construction of objects that locally look the same. I will explain, mainly via examples and in non-technical terms, how the concept of "locally look the same" has evolved through time (mostly through some beautiful ideas of Serre and of Grothendieck).
