You want to record your android screen to make a video playtrough or gameplay of android games but when you go to google play store, almost application there required root.
Are there another way without root your android ?
Yes it's possible, but this way you should use your PC , USB cable to connect your device to PC and require Android 4.4 on your device.
You should install android SDK on your PC. I assume here you already installed Android SDK, if you still confuse to install it I will make the tutorial someday. There are two method to use android SDK to record your android screen, first is to use Dalvik Debug Monitor and second is to use command prompt with execute some command to begin recording.
Record Android Screen with Android SDK Method 1 – Dalvik Debug Monitor
Step 1
After you install it , connect your device with your PC. Make sure to allow USB Debugging on your Android. As you seen on image below, choose OK to allow USB Debugging.
Step 2
After that, open Dalvik Debug Monitor, it's ddms.bat file go to folder sdk–> tools. On my PC it's located on:
C:\Program Files\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\tools
It will open a command prompt, after that wait for a few seconds until it will open automatically Dalvik Debug Monitor.
Step 3
Click your device, I remark the image below with red circle. You should click the device, if not Screen record feature will be disabled.
Step 4
To record your android screen, go to device –> Screen record
Step 5
After you click the Screen Record, it will display the screen recorder options window.
You can set the bit rate for your video, it will affect video quality. Video width and height also you can set it and last, Save Video As to determine where you want to save your screen record video.
Step 6
Click OK and screen recording process will start. You only have maximum 180 seconds video, if you reach 180 seconds the video recording will automatically stop and save your video.
Record Android Screen with Android SDK Method 2 - Command Prompt
Step 1
Connect your device with your PC. Make sure to allow USB Debugging on your Android.
Step 2
Run the command prompt, after the command prompt window open, go to sdk\platform-tools folder. After it execute this below command in the command prompt:
adb devices
Step 3
After you execute the command, the command prompt will show like this :
Step 4
To start recording process, execute command below :
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/yourVideoName.mp4
yourVideoName.mp4 is your video name, you can change it freely.
Step 5
After recording reach 180 seconds, it will stop automatically or if you want to stop it before 3 minutes you can press Ctrl + C and it will save to your device internal storage.

'Returning to the Light' exhibit scheduled
Ohio Northern University's Department of Art and Design and the Cultural Affairs and Special Affairs committee presents "Returning to the Light," a ceramic installation exhibit by Charlie Cummings, in the Elzay Gallery of Art from March 11 to April 12.
A reception with the artist will be held March 13 from 5 to 7 p.m., and a clay and transfer image workshop will be conducted from March 11-14.
Cummings is known for creating artwork that combines ceramics and printmaking. His sculptural artwork is unified by overlying ideas of nostalgia and absence. In "Returning to the Light," the endangered springs of northern Florida serve as a metaphor for the fleetingness of experience in his current suite of full-color ceramic prints. These prints attempt to fix moments from visits to this surreal and sublime environment in clay and in time.
Cummings is a studio artist, teacher and director of the Charlie Cummings Gallery in Gainesville, Fla. He has curated more than 70 exhibitions and taught several workshops. His work is in many public and private collections, including that of the Crocker Museum and the Dalai Lama.
The Elzay and Stambaugh galleries are educational art galleries for the ONU community and for the northwest central Ohio region. The gallery season is designed to serve as a cultural resource, to host national and international touring exhibitions and programs, and to host original exhibits distinctly suited to an academic environment.
Admission to the Elzay and Stambaugh galleries is free and open to the public daily from noon to 5 p.m. The Stambaugh Studio Theatre Gallery also is open prior to Freed Center events.

Osteopathy in the NICU: False Claims and False Dichotomies
I would like to preface this post by stating that I have worked with many DOs (Doctors of Osteopathy), and I have helped train many pediatric residents with DO degrees. I have found no difference in the overall quality of the training these students have received, and some of the very best clinicians I have ever worked with have been DOs. I would never prejudice my assessment or opinion of a physician based on whether they have an MD or a DO after their name.
Now, on to the discussion at hand.
I recently stumbled upon an article entitled, "Effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment on length of stay in a population of preterm infants: a randomized controlled trial". There is nothing particularly exciting or interesting about this study, as there have been many published on the use of osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) in children. There aren't that many RCTs, however, and this particular one, although published in the open-access BioMed Central Pediatrics (impact factor 1.98), was chosen to be included in AAP Grand Rounds. AAP Grand Rounds is a publication put out by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to help pediatricians "Stay current and save time with monthly critical, evidence-based summaries of clinical content from nearly 100 journals." Because the AAP found this important enough for mention in this widely read publication, with a distribution of 19,000 (source: AAP, 2014), I thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at it. I am also interested in the very odd existence of the two, distinct paths to becoming a physician in this country, osteopathic and traditional medical school training. The distinction between the two is rarely discussed, even within the halls of academia or in our health care centers. That's not to say that the topic isn't discussed at all (in fact it was highlighted very recently right here on SBM), it has just remained a somewhat politically incorrect subject, sliding mostly under the radar. Having worked with and trained pediatricians with osteopathic degrees, I can tell you that discussions about this are considered taboo. This is primarily because osteopathic physicians have become mainstreamed over time (see below), and discussing the validity of the existence of their "specialness" is an awkward proposition. After taking a look at the paper in question, I'll address this issue some more as I think it deserves additional attention.
Effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment on length of stay in a population of preterm infants: a randomized controlled trial.
This was a single-blinded RCT conducted at Santo Spirito Hospital in Pescara, Italy to explore whether OMT could shorten the length of stay among premature infants in their neonatal ICU (NICU). Secondary outcomes studied were the differences in daily weight gain and total cost of the NICU stay.
I'll discuss the methods in a moment, but first let's review the results.

What's going on all! Welcome to my blog series "DIGGIN' THE CLASSICS"! When new releases in the music world get slow, we all tend to dig into our collections for some vintage pleasure. Join me for my weekly (or whenever I feel like it) quest for soundtrack satisfaction. This is a blog for music lovers! "Walk With Me".
This edition celebrates: Yusef Lateef- The Gentle Giant (1972)
1. Nubian Lady
2. Lowland Lullabye
3. Hey Jude
4. Jungle Plum
5. The Poor Fishermen
6. African Song
7. Queen of the Night
8. Below Yellow Bell
Now I will admit, I am really picky when it comes to instrumental recordings. There has to be something powerful about a rhythm that speaks without words. Yusef Lateef is most definitely gifted in this area. Lateef defines his brand of music as "-insert here-", but don't call it jazz. "The Gentle Giant" is evidence of his unique talents. With Lateef playing various instruments (flute, tenor, and oboe) and a 9-minute cover of "Hey Jude" (?), there is enough variety on this album to prevent it from boring the "A.D.D." listener. One stand out track is, "Nubian Lady". The title say's it all. With it's melodic rhythms and ultra cool vibes, songs like these leave no room for words. That would just mess things up.
"I'm smiling, but don't call it jazz fool!"
Another track that stands out is "Queen of the Night" (must be something about the ladies). A funky track that has a bass line tailor made for hip-hop. It is this variety that makes this album one of his most interesting works. This Lp speaks to generations, and most likely opened the door for world music. Some refer to this album as being erratic compared to his prior works. I feel this is just a classic display of any artists' journey to evolve. This album is a honest contribution to the foundation of jaz......I mean "-insert here-". It dares to be different. ...And it is the "different" that makes it an instant classic.
"What do you mean by different?"

What's going on all!
Welcome to my blog series "DIGGIN' THE CLASSICS"! When new releases in the music world get slow, we all tend to dig into our collections for some vintage pleasure. Join me for my weekly (or whenever I feel like it) quest for soundtrack satisfaction. This is a blog for music lovers! "Walk With Me".
This edition celebrates: Donald Byrd- Places and Spaces (1975)
- Change (Make you wanna Hustle)
- Wind Parade
- (Fallin' Like) Dominoes
- Places and Spaces
- You and the Music
- Night Whistler
- Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)
I have only one word to describe this album: SEXY
This is smooth jazz, funky jazz, "clean ya house jazz". I play this when my mood says,"A grown man just got home from work today....and he needs sometime to reflect".
Here's my favorite track off of the album....Wind Parade:
Recorded in the summer of 1975, Places & Spaces continued the influences of Byrd's prior release Street Lady. Exhibiting elements of Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Earth Wind & Fire...let's just say this wouldn't be the darling of a jazz purist. Groovin' guitars, mellow bass, and tantalizing horns makes for a perfect blend of jazz/soul/funk/disco harmony.
Producer Larry Mizell (One half of the Mizell Brothers)
Hooking up with the Mizell Brothers, as he did with his last 2 albums, Byrd continued his exploration into jazz-funk. The album was also a hot bed for samples. From acid jazz to hip hop, Places and Spaces also birthed many classics in other genres. For example, Black Moon's "Buck Em Down" Remix. A classic hip hop record of the early 90's that samples Byrd's "Wind Parade."
A part of the Blue Note Records Rare Groove series, Donald Byrd's Places and Spaces demands rotation in your mp3 player. A true classic of the past, present and future.

How your taxes will expand Western Technical College
Voters in 11 counties weighed in on whether to fund an $80 million construction project on Western Technical College's La Crosse campus.
The referendum passed with 54 percent of the votes.
But although a majority of people voted yes, a majority of counties as a whole voted no.
Six out of the 11 counties – Buffalo, Clark, Crawford, Jackson, Richland and Vernon -- voted no on the proposal. Juneau, La Crosse, Monroe, Sauk and Trempealeau counties voted yes.
Western Tech president Lee Rach said he hopes voters in all of those counties will come to see how the changes will affect students who live outside of La Crosse too.
"Western is this region's college. And they voted, they're partners, they're stakeholders. And so I think, with that, comes that responsibility to be a full partner in return," said Rasch.
Someone with a $100,000 house can expect to pay about $39 more a year in property taxes, for the next 20 years.
After years of planning and nearly 200 presentations all over the community, the campaigning for Western Tech's construction project has come to an end.
But now, Western Tech administrators say the real work is just getting started.
Western Tech Landscape Horticulture Program head, Pete Bemis, couldn't believe the good news.
"I just had to sit down and go, 'Wow. Now what?'" said Bemis.
It's a question administrators, teachers and students are asking themselves all over campus.
It's also a question voters are asking now that the referendum funding the school's six proposed building projects is officially a go.
One of the first projects is building an Urban Landscape and Agriculture Center.
"I'm having students say, 'I want to drop out and come back when it's built,'" said Bemis.
That's because the new facility will have all the latest technology. Right now, the school doesn't even have a greenhouse.
"We have to travel off campus to a site. We don't control everything we want to control. We don't control the lighting, the temperature, the fertilizing -- all elements of growing plants that we need to teach the students," said Bemis.
The biggest project will be a new Integrated Technology Center, bringing departments currently spread all over campus into one central hub.
Dean of Western's Industrial Technologies Division, Bill Brendel, said it will allow the departments to collaborate, which is something potential employers want in their future hires.
"To be able to work in teams, to be able to see a project from beginning to end, to be able to collaborate -- that's the skilled worker of the future that they're looking for," said Brendel.
Now that voters have put their trust and their tax dollars into the project, Rasch said he's determined they'll see a big return on their investment.
"The community stepped up and supported us. Now we have to, in return, do what we can to serve more people, to get more graduates, to do the things we've been talking about," said Rasch.
Another one of the first projects the school intends to work on is a new parking structure. It will be built on the site of the current parking lot on the corner of Eighth and La Crosse streets, and add 220 new spaces.
The plan is to have all six building projects completed by 2016. It's part of the school's larger goal to train 1,000 more students a year by 2020.

Colorado, a Smaller Demographic State, Uses PARIS Grant Award to Reduce Costs
Colorado is one of the States that was awarded a partnership grant from ACF in 2005 and simultaneously established a mentoring arrangement with the State of Utah. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Quarters of 2006, Colorado has saved $250,065 at a cost of $6,268. This has resulted in $40 saved for EVERY dollar spent, a very impressive cost-benefit ratio. These numbers will increase for two reasons: we do not have 100% state-wide participation, yet; and we do not include Medicaid cases in the Interstate Match.
Although not all of Colorado's 64 counties are participating, we have more than doubled the county PARIS participation in the last two months. The word is spreading throughout our counties about the tremendous benefit, so more and more counties are coming on board. Currently, we have 40% state-wide PARIS participation. If the rest of the counties have similar savings, then Colorado can potentially save an additional $375,000 once there is state-wide participation.
Our sister organization has finally approved adding Medicaid cases to the PARIS Interstate Match and this is being done for the May 2007 match. From the several states that have posted their Medicaid savings, we have calculated that 59% - 85% PARIS savings comes from Medicaid cases. For Colorado, 40% of our matches/hits come from the Interstate match: this percentage will probably increase once we add medical cases. By extrapolating these statistics, it means that Colorado could potentially save an additional $244,000 to $668,000 by including Medicaid cases in the PARIS Interstate match.
In summary, although it may take some time and patience to get all of our State counties 'on-board', as well as resolving all of the logistical 'kinks', there is a substantial cost benefit found in becoming a member State of the PARIS Project.

Industrially designed to make a truly individual statement, this unique time piece has become one of the most popular designs to emerge from the Tokyoflash design studio.
Shinshoku's solid, continuous stainless steel band wraps comfortably around your wrist and features a matrix of punched out holes with twenty-nine super bright LEDs beneath the surface which illuminate to present the time.
A single touch of the upper button animates the LEDs which then cascade across the band to present the time. Pressing the lower button skips this animation and presents the time immediately.
Twelve red LEDs indicate the hour, three green LEDs indicate 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour and fourteen yellow LEDs indicate single minutes.
This unique time telling method makes it easy to see the approximate time quickly, whether it's quarter past, half past or quarter to the hour whilst also telling the precise time.
Subtle etched markings on the strap allow you to distinguish easily between hours and minutes, however, with multi-colored LEDs, this design is really easy to read - especially at night!
Shinshoku has a strap which is easily self-adjustable to fit your wrist and fits wrist sizes of up to 8.5 inches (225 mm).

BIelema: No shame backing into title game
Badgers finish third in division yet move on to Indianapolis
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said he understands why a lot of people believe his Badgers don't deserve to be playing in the Big Ten championship game.
With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible because of NCAA sanctions, the Badgers will represent the Leaders Division against Legends champion Nebraska on Saturday in Indianapolis. The Badgers (7-5, 4-4) finished third in their division.
Bielema said Sunday that when the Badgers and 14th-ranked Cornhuskers (10-2, 7-1) take the field, "no one will care how the other team got there."
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said he doesn't care if people think the game loses luster because teams ahead of Wisconsin aren't in Indianapolis.
The Badgers lost 30-27 in Lincoln on Sept. 29 after blowing a 17-point lead in the third quarter.

PORTALES — Richard and Louise Smith value their independence, however, health problems and a string of attempted break-ins have left them worried about their safety.
Peace of mind arrived for the retired Portales couple Thursday via the Newman Project, a senior safety program instituted by District Attorney Matt Chandler's office.
"I hated to answer the door, even in the daytime," Louise Smith said. "It's a godsend to senior citizens because everyone is on a limited income."
Employees from Lowe's Home Improvement's community volunteer program donated their time to install a peephole, deadbolts, fire extinguisher, smoke and carbon dioxide detectors and outdoor motion lighting at the Smith home at no cost.
Lowe's provided the items at cost to the program, which was funded through a legislative bill sponsored by Rep. Keith Gardner, R-Roswell.
Louise Smith said she and her husband used to be able to make home repairs and improvements but those chores have become difficult since he lost his eyesight. She's had problems herself with several bad falls recently.
"Without them this wouldn't be happening," Louise Smith said, motioning to the Lowe's crew packing their vehicle to go to the next of several stops they made Thursday in Portales.
The Smiths said they learned about the program from a newspaper article and at the Portales Senior Citizens Center.
It was at the center where they became friends with the project's namesakes, Odis and Doris Newman, a retired Portales couple who were abducted and killed in 2005.
Molly Ortega, a Portales senior who lives on her own since her husband died a few years ago, received deadbolts and peepholes Thursday.
Ortega learned about the program from her granddaughter, Andrea Ontiveros, a student at Valencia Elementary. The school had participated in a design contest for the project and learned more about it when the district attorney's office gave a program on the Newman Project.
Ortega said her neighborhood has changed over the 40 years she's lived in her home.
"So many things are happening to the elderly and not only the elderly, you know," Ortega said. "There are a lot of people now that you don't know."
Fast facts
The Newman Project:
Provides a variety of security items along with installation free of charge to senior citizens in the Portales/Clovis area.
Carried out through the District Attorney's office.
Named for Odis and Doris Newman, a retired Portales couple murdered in 2005.

Cullen Hoback, director of the documentary "Terms and Conditions May Apply", argues Facebook and Google are "public utilities" in an interview, "Is Facebook a Public Utility? Yes, says Filmmaker Cullen Hoback".
The same argument applies to the US electronic healthcare system—all 300 million Americans are forced touse it, we have no real choices.
The collection and use of the nation's health data is hidden. There is no full data map tracking all uses and we have no 'chain of custody' of our personal health information.
- See the start of the first US health data map at TheDataMap.org.
Quotes from the interview:
- "All data can be tracked and followed."
- "You have the companies making a fortune off of our data and you have the government getting something that it's wanted for a very long time, which is this sort of unprecedented access to all of the information of all of its citizens."
- "It's hard to say opting out is an option."

A cautionary note about leaves
November 15, 2012 —
A week or so after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the northeast U.S. and our region, the sun has returned. Leaves that were left on the trees before the storm were blown down, along with a few of the trees. The trees have been cleared from the roadways and power has been restored, but many homeowners have blown-down trees or branches to contend with. Some of this blown-down debris has its own hidden hazard.
A few dry days with low relative humidity have spawned an increase in area fire department suppression activities due to brush fires. A few fires were started when trees that were still standing during the storm made contact with live wires, afterwards resulting in embers igniting leaves on the ground. Most of the fires, however, were due to "uncontrolled controlled burning," unattended burning, or burning in windy conditions. Freshly fallen and dry leaves on the ground haven't been packed down by rain or snow yet, and are conducive to rapid fire spread under the right conditions.
There are many things that the homeowner can do to reduce the risk of wildfires. Many towns have regulations concerning burning. If you do burn your leaves, have a ready source of water handy, and don't burn on a windy day. Many people mulch leaves for later use in gardening or landscaping projects. If you dump your leaves on your vacant woodlots, try to avoid dumping leaves on jeep trails, foot paths, or other clear areas. These may serve as natural firebreaks and will delay or prevent the spread of wildfire. A good source of wildfire tips can be found here: www.firewise.org/information/who-is-this-for/homeowners.aspx.

"We jumped out on them and had them on the ropes early. We played a pretty complete game up until the seventh inning," said S-T head coach Cody Fields.
The S-T boys put up five runs in the home half of the first inning. Two more runs in the second inning gave the 'Cats a comfortable 7-0 lead.
Mathis got one run in the top of the third but could not dent the scoreboard again until the top of the seventh and final inning of regulation. The Pirates tied things up with a six-run outburst that evened the scoreboard at 7-7, pushing the game into extra innings.
The Bobcats had not scored since the second inning but got back on track offensively and pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the eighth to earn the tight 8-7 victory.
T.J. Amador had a great night at the plate for the Bobcats. Amador went 4-5 with six RBIs. He smashed a grand slam in the first and also stroked a double in the second. S-T hurler Aaron Hughes worked the first six innings for the Bobcats, giving up four earned runs and striking out seven Pirates. Brandon East relieved Hughes and went the final two innings to get the Bobcat victory.
S-T's Jonathan Hernandez had three hits in three official plate appearances with two RBIs. Kyle Nelson went 2-3 with two runs scored. Sebastian Hernandez also had two hits in three trips to the plate, scoring three times in the win.
"We have struggled to finish games as of late. We have gone into extras the last three games," said Fields.
"It is good for character building to learn to keep fighting, but we have to learn to put people away when we have the chance. We wanted to start the second round off with a win and were able to do that, so it was a good night."
The Bobcats travel to Taft on Friday night and will host Banquete on Saturday with the JV game beginning at 5 p.m.

What is in this article?:
- Crop consultants going global
- Information farmers need
- Crop consulting taking on global perspective.
- Help growers navigate marketing and regulatory issues.
- Global Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants grew out of need to exchange information.
In the last 10 years, U.S. farmers have found themselves more and more at the mercy of the global marketplace. These days, U.S. cotton, soybean and corn producers can be affected more by a drought in China or India than one in their own country.
Now U.S. crop consultants are beginning to see their businesses take on more of a global perspective as they reach out to other consultants and try to help their growers navigate through a minefield of marketing and regulatory issues.
"People in my own organization used to come up and ask me, 'Why do you do all this traveling?" said Allen Scobie, a crop consultant from Scotland, who has become a fixture at the annual meetings of the U.S.-based National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants. "Why do you go to America and these other places?
"I tell them it's because of the contacts I make," said Scobie, who works with Bridgend Consultancy Services in Dundee in Scotland. "And it's because of what I learn about my profession and about agriculture."
Scobie first came to speak to the NAICC as president of the Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants or AICC, the NAICC's counterpart in the United Kingdom. He's been coming back almost every year. This year he was joined by Patrick Stephenson, a crop consultant from Pickering, North Yorkshire, in the UK.
Earlier this year, they and members of the NAICC, AICC and the Pole Du Counseil Independent Agriculture or PCIA in France helped form a new organization called the Global Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants. Scobie said the group grew out of a need to have a more formal means of exchanging information between consultants.
"There are so many things happening in the world that affect farmers," said Scobie, who also works in the Ukraine in the former Soviet Union and in other parts of the world. "Sometimes, those events can have a major impact on their bottom line."
Last summer, Scobie was traveling in the Ukraine, compiling a report on crop conditions and agronomic practices for his employer when he became aware of the dry conditions that were beginning to take a toll on the region's wheat crop.
"I came back and told my farmers, 'Don't sell your wheat, prices are going to rise,'" he said. "They paid attention and didn't sell, and when the impact of the drought in Russia and the Ukraine became better known, wheat prices rose significantly.

When I started Ice Warrior in 2001 I wanted it to be accessible to everyone, to contribute to our knowledge and understanding of the Polar Regions and to show that ordinary people, from all walks of life, with the right attitude and training can achieve extraordinary things. (I was living proof!) That's exactly what we do.
I call this modern-day exploration and I feel it is about as close as we can get to emulating the golden era of exploration, when we knew so little of our World and the risks were much higher. But although the discoveries we make these days are more about climate change, pollution and changes in biodiversity than mapping undiscovered areas, it doesn't make them less important.
If we are to be true guardians of our Earth and for me this is part of being civilised, then we have a great deal to learn from it, still, and the fact that Ice Warrior can contribute to this makes me feel very proud indeed.

Sometimes you need to recursively set a specific UNIX permission for a whole set of files and/or directories. And you want to have a different permission for your files and for your directories.
For example, when installing a CMS like Joomla (or Moodle), you might want to recursively set the UNIX permissions to 700 for all the directories contained in your web root (say, your htdocs). And you want to do the same for all the files, but this time to 600.
This can easily be achieved by entering your htdocs and by using the find command:
find . -type d -exec chmod 700 {} + find . -type f -exec chmod 600 {} +
The commands should be read as follows:
"Read everything in the current directory, recursively. For every single item that is of type directory (file) change permissions to 700 (600)."
The {} + option (refer to the find man page) runs the specified command on the selected files, but the command line is built by appending each selected file name at the end.

Business and Management Strategies for the Private and Public Sectors
Fall 2013, Winter 2014 and Spring 2014 quarters
Taught by
This year-long, weekend-intensive, business and management program will assess business, management, and leadership in both the public and private sectors. We will explore these in the context of contemporary technological advances and globalization and will examine organizations and governmental agencies within their economic, political, and social environment. Organizational development and management strategies will be analyzed in terms of current and future utility and the delivery of the public good. Traditional elements of management such as decision making, strategic planning, organizational behavior, human resources, and conflict management are incorporated throughout the program. Application of theory and enhancement of critical thinking will occur through problem solving and case study analyses. Assignments will place a heavy emphasis on developing analytical, verbal, written, and electronic communication skills through dialogue, seminars, critical essays, training modules, research papers, and formal presentations. Managerial skills will be developed through scenario building, scripting, role-play, and case development among other techniques.
Winter quarter will focus on strategic management theory, policy analysis, and developing the ability to plan and execute a strategic plan. Learning objectives will include developing an understanding of basic finance, economic, and strategic management concepts. Skill development objectives will include the ability to utilize analytical tools to assess a company's or agency's performance and to develop recommendations to ensure continued success in either sector.
Spring quarter will focus on applying managerial skills and strategic management concepts and analytical tools in the workplace through internships. Selected concepts in change management and managing people will be analyzed in terms of their utility in the workplace. Learning objectives will include developing an understanding of change management and of managing people. Skill development objectives will include the ability to critique and apply people and change management concepts in the public or private sector workplace.
Students will be accepted in the program for winter quarter with signature approval of the faculty.

Let us imagine NASA is sending a capsule into space – a communication to other civilizations out there behind the chilly dome of stars. Our goal for this particular space shot is a noble one: we want to provide perfect examples of American film making, from the first grainy, silent "flickers" right up to present day digital films. We are to provide a single film from every definable genre and era. What's this? We're lacking a film from the late 1950s, one from the low-budget, drive-in category – designed for sensation, splash, and ticket sales! Quick! The rocket takes off in 10 minutes!
No true connoisseur of atomic age B would need 10 minutes, of course. Any devotee already has his pick rattling around inside his skull - one more useless ping pong ball of information, of no good to anyone. In the above imagined scenario, however, I would have my moment in the sun. Gentlemen, I would say, please remain calm! I have dedicated my life for this moment! My research indicates that there are many good choices here, but it is my firm belief that Richard Cuhna's 1958 "She Demons" is as fine an example as can be found!
Brows are mopped, backs are clapped, and the rocket launch is successful. I am awarded some sort of phallic, Plexiglas NASA award at a news conference and make a brief appearance on the today show the next morning ; after which I am promptly forgotten, as is the capsule and the mission. Years pass in which my slide back to anonymity is complete (the final humiliation, of course, is when I am no longer asked to appear at Sci Fi/Star Trek/Comic book conventions). *A special thanks goes to John Gilmore, Dean friend and biographer, for his wonderful recollections of the meeting between Dean and McCalla at Googies Coffee Shop. Mr. Gilmore was very generous with his time and with his emails, sharing his unique memories of Irish McCalla. Mr. Gilmore is the author of two fine biographies of Dean as well as several other books dealing with Hollywood celebrities and true crime. Please visit his website at http://www.johngilmore.com/.
Perhaps a few light years latter, however, in some neon-hued alien laboratory, the capsule's seal is broken; and the lid opens with a hiss. Alien tentacles reach in, clutching at the discs inside with hair-covered suckers. Soon, several of the large, pulsing aliens are gathered around a large glowing ball. Their dozens of individual antennae eyes blink and undulate, watching the images that flit inside the globe as American Earth Movies are inserted, digested, and converted. Suddenly and deliciously, statuesque Demons heroine, Irish McCalla, strides inside the glowing ball, and all eye/membranes open fully (one or two even appear to bulge and vibrate).
The "hair" on the hip fins of several of the male aliens begins to bristle and enlarge a bit at the sight of the tall blonde actress, who is dressed in white shorts and sheer blouse cinched at the waist. One alien urgently reaches out a body tentacle, gently easing a sucker through the gelatinous, clear material of the globe, and attaches it to the holographic image of McCalla. The hairy sucker makes a wet sound as it flattens, covering her knee. The alien makes a sort of moist, guttural chortle with this contact; and his comrades all begin to grunt, their top vents bubbling, in what might be a form of crude laughter or, perhaps, a completely involuntary sound.
But I digress. Actually, I do far more than digress. I am simply killing time, trying to imagine a way that I can somehow express my deep love for this movie. The problem is that the movie, by all normal standards and conventions, is not worthy of love. Indeed, more than one prominent reviewer has called it "unwatchable."
Yet love it I do, and by "love" I don't mean the worthless, condescending "love" of the movie snot, yukking it up over "bad" movies (I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I detest these pimply snits and their ilk). No, I mean "love" as in a deep, tender, inexplicable feeling of affection.
love for anything is difficult to explain. I can only speak for myself, but whenever a girlfriend has asked me, straight up, why I loved her; I have been instantly transformed into my alter ego - "Mr. Imbecile." Because you're a good person? Because I like your smile? These responses will earn you the flat stare of the undead. For reasons I only vaguely grasp, I have discovered that saying, because you make me laugh will work - but only once and only if you mean it.
But let's get to She Demons before all focus is lost. It is, after all, the reason you plunked your two bits down in the first place. Perhaps, along the way, I'll stumble over something that can explain my stubborn love (actually, let's not fumble about. The reasons for my devotion to this film are all anchored in my affection for Irish McCalla. She provides the film's utter watchability. I will discuss this tall, blonde Amazon in detail a bit later).
The plot of Demons is very simple in its linear movement, but a true hum-dinger when it comes to concept: A rich businessman hires a team to explore bizarre rumors of a tropical island inhabited by strange creatures, half-animal half human. The ship carrying this expedition is shipwrecked in a hurricane, which kills all crew except the small core of the research group. This small group washes up on a small, uncharted island. The central players in this band are Jerrie Turner (Irish McCalla), the very hot, very spoiled daughter of the rich founder of the expedition, Fred Maklin (Tod Griffin) head honcho of the expedition; and Sammy Ching (Victor Sen Yung), radioman and overly-optimistic, token ethnic of the expedition.
By sheer luck they have all been shipwrecked on the very island they were searching for in the first place. They soon discover that a mad ex-Nazi scientist, has been performing experiments on bands of kidnapped girls for his own demented purposes, turning them into half animal creatures. Our crew spends a good portion of the movie bumping heads with head Nazi guard, Igor (played by the brutish Gene Roth). Eventually, things come to a head when mad Nazi scientist falls in love with the spoiled, American rich girl, and spurned, decides to turn Jerrie into one of the island's She Demons. The American military routinely uses the island for minor bombing practice, however, and in an unprecedentedly vicious assault blows the island to bits, releasing (somehow) a holocaust of volcanic earthquakes. Our three principles manage to escape in a small boat while all Nazis and she beasts die in a fiery inferno of carpet bombing, lava, and crumbling buildings.
So. We have super-duper hot Irish McCalla, who is best known for her atomic age modeling work, her frequent appearances in Men's magazines, and her two-season television run as Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (1955-56). Not for nothing, we also have Nazis in full uniform, despite the blaring heat of the tropics, keeping half-dressed women in bamboo cages; and we have a very hammy Rudolph Anders playing a demented, Nazi geneticist, spouting the appropriate wild-eyed dialogue in an odd, breathy, Germanic patter. Last, and certainly not least, we have Victor Sen Yung as "Sammy," the half-dopey comic relief, who never lets torture or death disturb his optimistic, subservient approach to life (Sen Yung was head and shoulders the most accomplished actor in the troop, and one can only imagine the number of times he must have reminded himself that a paycheck was a paycheck was a paycheck. Then again, Mr. Sen Yung obviously enjoyed working with Irish McCalla and perhaps this was an important fringe benefit – more on his later).
Let's first consider these and other elements that make She Demons an exemplary example of late atomic age B for the afore-mentioned, imaginary space capsule (We will deal with my love for it later).
Element No. I: The Pure Horror of Science
Perhaps the most important staple of the late atomic age B to Z movie is an utter contempt for the known bounds of science. In the new, nuclear age, scientists had managed, somehow, to split the atom. Wasn't that kind of like blowing up the air? Increasingly, scientists were no longer good men driven mad by their obsessions (as in many mad doctor films from the 1930s and 1940s), but increasingly were unhealthy, dangerous madmen; outcasts from the stagnant world of traditional science, driven like mangy, foaming curs into the dark corners of the world. Once purged from decent society with its fussy dogma, these raving lunatics become completely unhindered by such trifling regulations as physical laws, cellular or atomic structure, gravity, and evolution. Once working in such fertile freedom, these gibbering lab rats are able to triumph in their diode-crackling, beaker-smoking, syringe-squirting experiments. Importantly, these madmen always work in isolation (save for the traditional, subhuman flunky), usually from a mountain villa or a poverty-blackened lab or, as in She Demons, a remote, uncharted tropical island (it would be pleasant to call the similarities between The Island of Lost Souls and She Demons a heartfelt homage, but they are really a simple, shameless snitch).
In Demons, we have a crackling good example of the above in Col. Carl Osler (Rudolph Anders), aka, "The Butcher." Colonel Osler is an ex member of the SS, which makes him a madman from the get go; a medical doctor once in charge of hideous experimentation at an unnamed concentration camp during the war. His specialty was discovering methods for the removal of scar tissue. "You see," explains the blonde, grinning doctor, having just captured our three Americans and finding himself unable - like most mad doctors – to keep his yap shut about himself, "my Fuhrer believed that, since we were developing a master race, there would be no place for scared war veterans."
Under Hitler's direct orders, the doctor developed a method by which massive amounts of scar tissue could be removed successful, leaving clear skin, if the subject was given massive amounts of radiation. Naturally, the clear complexion came at a heavy price, as the radiation killed the subject within hours. Osler was at work refining his methods (presumably earning his nickname by scarring and un-scarring camp prisoners in the process) when the war ended. With regard to lavish, dodgy science, Dr. Osler's back-story could end right there and his Mad Doctor qualifications would be near impeccable. Plenty of B madmen have worked with less and didn't have the benefit of a full SS uniform, including Jackboots and cigarette holder, for moments of histrionic posing. But in the competition for the atomic age's maddest madman, this Nazi bastard is just warming up.
During his years at the death camps, Osler used molten lava as a source for his radiation treatments (where one finds molten lava at Buchenwald, say, is left to the imagination) , discovering in his scar tissue experiments a way to electrically extract the thermal energy from lava, converting this energy into electricity, which is then used to run the extraction machinery with energy to spare – turning the operation into a perpetual energy machine that will forever feed itself. Osler had come to the small, volcanic island at the end of the war, along with a devoted gaggle of Nazi guard henchman, because of its rich deposits of lava so near the crust of the earth; and has since put his discoveries in thermal energy to use by setting up his island laboratory with an endless source of humming, renewable power.
In the key scene where the colonel puffs his cigarette and blathers about himself, he directs his captured guests to a small porthole, through which can be seen, amazingly, the planet's core of bubbling, white hot magma. "If this fire were to cool by even a thousand degrees," declares Osler, "the surface of the earth would be entirely covered with a layer of ice!" Goddammit, stop hogging the porthole, Jerrie! I want a peak at the center of the earth!" But wait! This Gestapo son of a bitch isn't done yet! It's what he's done in this crackling, buzzing underground laboratory of thermal power that is the real kicker!
Osler's wife, Mona Osler (Leni Tana), has worked with the Colonel for years as a lab assistant. Once the Osler's set up shop on the island (after the war), Mona was horribly disfigured by lava exhaust, leaving her virtually faceless (she flits through the movie politely, welcoming the island "guests" with her face completely wrapped in bandages like the invisible man with nice ankles). His wife's scarring was so horrible, Osler's procedures for normal skin replacement proved useless; and he began experimenting with a less cosmetic approach. His new research thereafter became much darker, based in dangerous and untried genetics.
"I vowed," says Osler, thumping his fist on a surgical gurney, "to spend the rest of my life making her beautiful again. I have made some refinements on a discarded theory based on the exchange of what I term Character X between a healthy specimen and my wife."
What is Character X? asks Jerrie helpfully (it has been Jerrie's roll through much of the exposition scene to listen attentively to the doc's yammering and ask the hard questions: Lava, a natural resource? What does that have to do with your laboratory here? Hitler really believed that? etc.) Character X, explains Osler happily as if speaking to an eager freshman, is the cellular structure - the secretion of genes - that make up personal appearance. In pursuit of beautiful specimens with whom his wife can exchange this beauty-defining character X, Osler has kidnapped a troop of beautiful native girls from a nearby tropical island. The final fly in the ointment is that his wife, Mona, is so devoid of character X (beauty), that a full an uncut exchange between Mona and a healthy, foxy Island girl would be fatal to both; therefore the character X exchanged has to be modified with animal genes, so as to make the new brew a palatable compromise between the horribly ugly (Mona) and drop-dead sexy (any of the nubile teenagers the Nazis keep in bamboo cages). Unfortunately, this animal-gene mixture, while going down smooth as two fingers of Jim Beam for the hideous Mona, turns our native lovelies into snaggle-toothed, bulge-eyed, murderous animals (at least from the neck up. From the chin down, they still fill their leopard-skin bikinis perfectly). Viola! In an effort to restore his wife's beauty, Osler the Butcher as created a Nazi She Demon factory!
Element No. II: Nazis in dress uniform, whips, and half-naked girls in cages
While it might be a bit grandiose to call Richard Cunha the Godfather of the massive, bloody tide of exploitation films that washed over drive-ins and theaters in the 60s and 70s; the director's She Demons must at least be considered a legitimate precursor for two of exploitation's richest and most storied subgenres: Demon predates the first entry in the Nazi Exploitation subgenre - Lee Frost's Love Camp 7 - by a solid decade; and the subgenre's most famous entry, Don Edmond's Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, wouldn't repel, disgust and thrill audiences for another fifteen years. If your personal preference in exploitation runs to the Women in Prison vein, Col. Osler and his troop of jackboots kept these island girls in bamboo cages thirteen years before Roger Corman's The Big Doll House shackled imprisoned women in a steaming, jungle hell. While Cunha lacked the ugly soul of today's directors of mainstream horror film, with today's new-found focus on torture porn, his head Nazi, the un-Germanically named Igor (Gene Roth), does whip an island girl to death for an escape attempt, lashing her first to a post as is traditional.
Element No. III: The Diana Nellis Dancers Go Cheesecake Native
Girls! Girls! Girls!
By the end of the fifties, filmmakers where battling, in ever feverish fashion, the pervasive influence and dominance of television. That goddamn little tube thing was in a huge chunk of American homes by 1958, and any hope of TV being simply a fade (yes, there actually such a thought, albeit very briefly) was smashed like a fat fly against a windshield.
This battle of the screens heralded the age of the theater gimmick, which the wonderful William Castle made into an American art form: seat buzzers, scratch-and-sniff cards, voting signs which could be waved at the screen (having no effect on anything) and, of course, 3D glasses; were used by Castle and other film-makers in an effort to give the theater-going public an experience unavailable in their own living rooms (my favorite ploy to attract ticket buyers was employed in William Castle's 1958 Macabre: Each member of the audience was given an actual Lloyds of London life insurance policy for $1,000 upon entering the theater, payable in full should they die of fright during the film - and null and void upon exit. Castle also hired a bevy of nurses in white uniforms and squeaky-souled shoes to be on hand, should any medical emergency arise). And, naturally, there was a rapid increase in gratuitous moments of sex, violence and gore, none of which was available, as yet, on the home screen.
The gratuitous sex part brings us to the Diana Nellis Dancers, who portray the kidnapped island girls so badly abused by the tropical Nazi. Richard Cunha, who in his brief but glorious career never lost his producers a goddamn penny, was noted for scenes of sudden, crowd-pleasing sensation, apropos of nothing in the plot. His glorious, rock-and-roll pool party, complete with swingin' cats, smack dab in the middle of Frankenstein's Daughter comes to mind; and here the Nellis Dancers supplies the sudden, jarring moment of naked audience pandering.
Our shipwrecked castaways come upon the clearing of native girls, having been attracted by the sound of their native drums. We come upon the young, island girls having all just escaped from their Nazi tormentors and, for reasons that will forever remain their own, decide to celebrate their liberation by erotically dancing around a blazing campfire (despite it being broad daylight and despite the sweltering heat). It can only be assumed that the girls either discovered the drums and totems of their brief camp laying handily about or somehow manufactured them very quickly, but in either case their dance of freedom proves a mistake: The drums and smoke, quite naturally, attract not only our three castaways, but also the Nazi storm troopers, who recapture the loud and nicely gathered troop in easy fashion.
The Diana Nellis Dancers, whoever they were (I have been unable to find anything on Diana Nellis or her dancers other than references to She Demons) provide the pre-requisite cheese cake and suggested sex, and in this regard do an outstanding job. It probably goes without saying that none of them look "native," but I'll say it anyway. Some of them are just plain blonde and fair skinned. Would it be unkind to notice that, as a troop, their dance performance is noticeably . . . unsynchronized? Yet, let's give credit where it is due. They do, in their awkward and overt way, provide moments of erotic heat. And it is their nonsensical actions and gratuitous presence that make them beloved by B film fans. If this troop of island captives had been actual native girls who, upon their escape from their Nazi overlords, had simply hidden in stealth until managing a boat back to their home island, She Demons would have been forgotten long ago. The Diana Nellis Dancers were fated for something far more glorious than rational action and simple intelligence can ever manage.
OK. I believe we've have been able to justify the space capsule inclusion of She Demons to the officers and administrators at NASA; but what of my fervent love? Let's get to the good stuff where everything is revealed.
The Good Stuff Pt. I: Rudolph Anders: Our Little, Giddy Butcher!
As cinematic mad doctors go, Anders' Colonel Carl Osler takes a back seat to no one in screen history. Sure, Colin Clive's Dr. Frankenstein had moments of epic madness, screaming his glee to the Heavens upon his creature's life, but Ander's Osler is shithouse crazy 24/7. With Osler, there are no rational interludes of sane reprieve; no quite moments in the lee of madness. With Karloff, in nearly all his mad scientist roles, he is a warm human being driven mad by the passions of his exploratory pursuits. Not so with Anders. His Col. Osler was born with a bent ray of light blighting his brain; his perfect, white teeth capable of only a rictus grin.
Also, there is something absolutely shivering and just plain repulsive about Anders' Osler. His odd tittering and jabbering delivery with Teutonic accent is hypnotic yet un-nerving, his words bubbling quietly in some hideous verbal caldron, at times nearly inaudible. His constant grin, devolving at times into a soft giggle, as he describes his various "unethical' experiments in the death camps; or his wild eyes, suddenly gaining sharp focus as he discusses his "specimens," is completely convincing. Also, there is nothing at all attractive about his madness; quite the reverse. He is a repulsive little man, made toxic by his demented mind. His hands would be warmish and moist; his breath fetid but scented with an odd trace of mint.
"I must have your love," says Osler to Jerrie Turner (whom he has at least shown the sense to dress in an elegant black dress for an evening of forced seduction), his velvety words quivering like oil sliding over water. He begins to paw at her, his voice a nattering gurgle too soft to hear, when suddenly McCalla's arm coils and lashes viciously, the flat of her hand delivering a terrific crack across the much smaller man's face. I have watched the scene several times and have to wonder if McCalla might have had an actual moment of gut-level repulsion. Her fury seems genuine, as does the wallop she delivers to the actor's face. Ander's appears completely dumbfounded for a moment, staggering back with eyes glassy and mouth hanging open. He gathers himself and swallows before he can speak. If this was simply a stage blow, it is certainly the most convincing Richard Cunha was ever able to commit to film. Simply put, it appears for all the world like McCalla really ties into the smaller Anders, slapping the blathering dialogue right out of his mouth.
Normally Cunha's fight scenes are slow, ponderous and sloppily presented; the sound at poor levels and badly synced - containing nothing of the sudden and shocking effect of this slap which made me grimace and, I admit, cheer the first time I saw it. With actress McCalla, one can easily imagine the tall, athletic woman responding to real-life groping with the kind of sudden fury she lays on Osler; and if McCalla had some moment of primal instinct with regard to Anders' slimy pawing, she can certainly be forgiven. When it comes to creepy-crawly, Anders' mad Nazi certainly delivers the unwholesome goods and then some.
The Good Stuff Pt. II: Irish McCalla – Savage Beauty from Pawnee City
Bang. There it is. Irish McCalla is the reason I love this film so much.
I would treasure it, probably, if another actress had played the spoiled heiress, Jerrie Turner. I could easily see the great Mara Corday (Tarantula, The Black Scorpion, The Giant Claw) in this role, for instance. With her lush, dark beauty and wide-set, beautiful eyes, she would have been very good. Corday was most certainly a better actress than McCalla, or at least more serious about the craft. But my devotion to She Demons would likely be considerably less. Let's talk about Irish McCalla.
She was born Nellie Elizabeth McCalla in Pawnee City, Nebraska; one of eight siblings, daughter of a big Irishman, Lloyd McCalla – town butcher and drinking man. By all accounts McCalla was a tomboy, loved fighting with her brothers, football, and climbing trees; and was considered odd looking as a young girl. None of the other Midwest girls had such a wide face, or such high cheekbones and almond-shaped blue eyes. She was also gawky tall, earning the nickname "beanpole." She was very self conscious about her unique appearance, and around the age of fifteen the tall beanpole fleshed out into a figure that would further delineate her from the local girls, or, for that matter, from nearly every other woman that has ever put on earrings. By her late teens, there was a near savagery to her blonde beauty, a thing very unique and physically intimidating.
How do you keep a girl on the windblown plains when she's one of the most breathtaking young women in the world? If you're smart, you don't try. After moving to California in the late forties and throughout the fifties, McCalla became, along with Bettie Page, one of the most successful magazine models in the industry. She simply dominated the covers of the plethora of men's magazines so popular in the atomic age - with titles like Eve, Adam, Big Time, Scene, Frolic, and Night and Day. She became a Vargas Girl (McCalla so admired Vargas that he was the only artist she ever posed nude for) and was, along with Page, one of the early model superstars.
"Look sexy," the photographers would say, eliciting only shy giggles. One day a photographer noticed a look on her face during a long day of shooting, a rather dreamy look of wanton desire, and he asked her what she was thinking about. She told him, and from then on the shutterbug knew the secret. "I'm going to buy you a hot-fudge sundae with lots of whipped cream," the photographers would say, and McCalla's expression would become one of rapture. Click, click, click would go the camera.
Of course, the moving camera couldn't keep It's grubby mitts of McCalla for long. She will be best remembered for her television role as Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, which she played on the young tube in 1955-56. She was a natural for the part, being so tall, strong and athletic; and looked completely at her ease swinging from the trees and doing her own stunts. "You mean they're going to pay you for doing what you did as a kid?" asked her mom. Among Sheena fans there really is not discussion. McCalla was the ultimate Queen of the Jungle. Tanya Roberts? Please. McCalla went on to make a series of B movies, my favorite of which is under discussion.
Three quick McCalla stories:
Irish McCalla – Commercial Artist: Irish McCalla always thought of herself as an artist and it was the one thing she was passionate about her entire life. She moved to California, in fact, to make it as an artist and painter, not as a stunning model and drop-dead-object-of-lust-and-desire. As a kid she loved making sketches of her favorite comic book, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle; and was very influenced by the pin-up artist, Alberta Vargas. As a teenager, she would make copies of the Vargas girls on pieces of cheap newsprint, using colored chalk, and trade them for gas for her boyfriend's car at the local gas stations. McCalla kept old journals and sketch books, containing her early drawings of Sheena, until the day she died. Is beauty in this life most obvious in moments of pure symmetry? If so, McCalla must have touched it often as an aging woman, looking over her little girl sketches of Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.
Irish McCalla and James Dean: Irish McCalla was starring as Sheena the same year that two James Dean films, East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause, were released (1955). The two were introduced by John Gilmore*, Dean friend and future Dean biographer, at Googies - coffee shop and hot spot of the stars. Gilmore introduced McCalla as Queen of the Jungle, and Dean gave a short bow as if being presented before royalty (and by this simple, courtly gesture confirming that his reputation for cool isn't hype). Upon straightening, Dean looked up at McCalla, who was a good 3 or 4 inches taller than the actor, and said, "I'm going to have to come over and swing in your tree." McCalla responded easily, "That's fine, I've got a lot of slack in my vines." In short, two confident Midwesterners, well met.
Irish McCalla and Elvis Presley: Elvis and McCalla appeared together on The Milton Berle Show in June of 1956**. McCalla's initial impression of The Pelvis was lukewarm. She couldn't quite figure out what the fuss was about. He didn't seem any better looking than many of the Nebraska boys she had grown up with. During his performance, McCalla turned to show co-star Debra Paget, and said, "It's got a good beat, but what's he singing about? A hound dog?" Paget, offering a much more typical reaction, said, "Who cares?" without taking her eyes off the King for a second. When Presley smiled, though, McCalla could see something of the appeal. A certain shy, boyish charm which made him, indeed, very handsome. That smile made her want to "ruffle his hair." Over the days of rehearsal for the show, Presley would eventually introduce himself to her, declaring himself a fan of Sheena, having watched the show on television. She would show him demonstrations of Tahitian dancing, explaining the ways it differed from his rock and roll moves. "He was a real nice kid," McCalla concluded.
Irish McCalla and the She Demons of Nazi Island: As an actress, McCalla lacked dramatic intensity. "She Demons," she says easily, as the castaways first encounter the dancing native girls amid the totems and drums; and she reads the line as though commenting on a pleasant, vast field of corn. "It's another one of your filthy, dirty tricks," she says to Colonel Osler, managing to lower her voice and frown a bit, as he is threatening to kill all her friends and turn her into a hideous she demon if she doesn't have sex with him. In fact, throughout her scene with Col. Osler, Butcher of the SS, she seems about as threatened and anxious as would a cobra in a room with a rabbit.
McCalla never wanted to be an actress, after all. Painting was her lifelong passion. The cameras simply demanded her presence, as did the filmmakers. In a sense, McCalla was the perfect ingénue for Richard Cunha, a director who rated his own movies by the amount of fun they were to make. McCalla approached acting like a good job, with good money and all, but a passionate craft or calling? Really, wasn't acting a little silly? Like playing make-believe when you're a kid?
McCalla did posses one of the actor's gifts, however, in spades: She was never nervous in front of a camera and seemed completely at her ease under the lights and lenses. In She Demons, she has the natural grace some women obtain simply by being objects of beauty, being quite used to a lifetime of people staring whenever the enter or move across a room. A self-consciousness turned into a kind of elegant integrity. What radiates off the screen whenever Irish McCalla speaks is a simple feeling of enjoyment – a love of life and real joy in being part of a moment, with this particular group of guys, simply having fun with this ridiculous story. Oh my God, Mom. It's called She Demons!
"What I wouldn't give for a nice, chilled glass of champagne," says Jerrie Turner, spoiled rich girl, now shipwrecked on a make believe island of green, jungle hell; as the three castaways rest a moment on the beach. Instantly seizing the moment, Sammy Ching tosses a dead palm leaf over his arm like a maître d's towel (throughout the movie, actors McCalla and Sen Yung enjoy a warm, clever repartee that, knowing how Richard Cunha worked, was more than likely one-take ad-libs. The script actually seems clever whenever these two share a moment). "Ms. Turner, what is your pleasure this evening?" says Sammy.
The two actors banter on a bit, with McCalla holding her hand up, curled back at the wrist. She calls Sen Yung, "my good man" in her rather deep, Middle America voice and orders some French champagne "veddy, veddy chilled." Sen Yung compliments mademoiselle on her choice, remarking that the brand is, of course, the specialty of the house. "And for an entrée, Mademoiselle?" McCalla cocks her head, thinking . . .
So, what we have is a Nebraska girl from a very small town. She's very beautiful in an exotic way – nearly wicked looking. The year is 1957 and she's sitting on a beach dressed in some white shorts and a cute, little top; pretending to be a rich girl shipwrecked on an island, who is pretending to order a chilled glass of champagne in a fancy restaurant where the waiters speak French. She's talking to a Chinese-American actor, who is pretending to be a castaway, pretending to be a French waiter. And the thing, Mom, is that there are Nazis on this Island. You know. Germans. All dressed up and everything!
What we have here is a smart, warm girl from Nebraska, having fun playing in a huge clubhouse called Hollywood, where the coolest guys on the planet have bowed before her, playing the most elaborate game of dress-up the world has ever known. Later, in about four or five years, she would get back to being an artist (which is what she moved to Malibu for in the first place) and continue to paint her heart out until she died of complications from a brain tumor in 2002. Her death wasn't easy, but she was a tough, brave woman.
You mean they're going to pay you for doing what you did as a kid? says Mom, sensing a bit of the thrill of it all right through the telephone line, the communication stretching over the entire bulge of the Midwest, all the way from Hollywood right to the telephone stand in a front hallway of the house in Pawnee City, right there next to the stairway that led up, up, to her room when she was a little girl.
"I know, Mom, can you believe it? Isn't it something!"
**Much of the biographical detail about Irish McCalla was gleaned from Paul Wickham's Website,
*A special thanks goes to John Gilmore, Dean friend and biographer, for his wonderful recollections of the meeting between Dean and McCalla at Googies Coffee Shop. Mr. Gilmore was very generous with his time and with his emails, sharing his unique memories of Irish McCalla. Mr. Gilmore is the author of two fine biographies of Dean as well as several other books dealing with Hollywood celebrities and true crime. Please visit his website at http://www.johngilmore.com/.

- Title
- A historical probability based noise generation strategy for privacy protection in cloud computing
- Author(s)
- Zhang, Gaofeng; Yang, Yun; Chen, Jinjun
- Abstract
- Cloud computing promises an open environment where customers can deploy IT services in pay-as-you-go fashion while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructure. Due to the openness, various malicious service providers can exist. Such service providers may record service requests from a customer and then collectively deduce the customer private information. Therefore, customers need to take certain actions to protect their privacy. Obfuscation with noise injection, that mixes noise service requests with real customer service requests so that service providers will be confused about which requests are real ones, is an effective approach in this regard if those request occurrence probabilities are about the same. However, current obfuscation with noise injection uses random noise requests. Due to the randomness it needs a large number of noise requests to hide the real ones so that all of their occurrence probabilities are about the same, i.e. service providers would be confused. In pay-as-you-go cloud environment, a noise request will cost the same as a real request. Hence, with the same level of confusion, i.e. customer privacy protection, the number of noise requests should be kept as few as possible. Therefore in this paper we develop a novel historical probability based noise generation strategy. Our strategy generates noise requests based on their historical occurrence probability so that all requests including noise and real ones can reach about the same occurrence probability, and then service providers would not be able to distinguish in between. Our strategy can significantly reduce the number of noise requests over the random strategy, by more than 90% as demonstrated by simulation evaluation.

I was going to introduce my 4 week old son to a bottle. But I am confused about when to pump.
Please let me know when you do.
I was going to introduce my 4 week old son to a bottle. But I am confused about when to pump.
Please let me know when you do.
Hi Monique,
Congratulations on your new son!
If you are pumping just to have some EBM on hand for an occasional bottle while you are briefly away from the baby -- many moms find the best time is in the morning, when their supply is at the highest point of the day -- and midway between two feedings. I know it can be hard to predict just when the baby will want to nurse, but give it a try.
Don't panic if your first pumping session doesn't yield much milk; let-down with the pump is sort of a learned response for most of us.
If you are trying to build a bit of a freezer stash, you can pump at about the same time every day, and your body will learn to produce some extra milk for that "feeding."
When I was home with dd, I pumped once in the morning since dd usually slept in and didn't like to nurse at that time. Your milk supply is usually highest in the morning so I did it as much to relieve my own engorgement as to build up a supply. However, some moms pump on one breast while feeding baby on the other or pump after baby is done feeding. There is no right or wrong and you have to do what works for you.
Now that I am back to work full-time, I pump 3 times a day - 9am, noon, & 3pm. I rarely pump at home or on the weekends unless I feel too full and dd is sleeping.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll get more advice that will be helpful.
Mom to Alyssa (11/26/05)

Globalfoundries, a leading contract maker of semiconductors controlled by ATIC and AMD, said that it had began planning 14nm process technology and that it would continue to upgrade its existing fab in Dresden, Germany, so that it could continue to produce leading-edge chips, including microprocessors and accelerated processing units for Advanced Micro Devices.
Ajit Manocha, chief executive officer of Globalfoundries, said in an interview with EETimes web-site that the company would continue to develop its Dresden facility and that the fab would make chips using the latest manufacturing processes, including 32nm, 28nm, 20nm and even 14nm. The planning and researching of 14nm fabrication technology has already started, according to the executive.
This is the first time when Globalfoundries started to talk about 14nm fabrication process in general. Previously, the company only talked about 16nm process technology and a plan to use EUV lithography for such nodes.
The head of Globalfoundries also noted that the company had already shipped over 700 thousand wafers processed using high-K metal gate (HKMG) 32nm manufacturing technology, whereas Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company only managed to sell "a few thousand wafers" processed utilizing gate-last 28nm HKMG tech. TSMC admits that the majority of chips it made using 28nm fabrication process rely on silicon oxynitride and not on a high-k metal gate. Nonetheless, it should be noted that Globalfoundries had to overcome dramatic challenges with ramping up its 32nm SOI HKMG technology.
"People thought that gate first would never work, but didn't we prove everybody wrong?" asked Mr. Manocha.
