Veterinary Chiropractic
People are sometimes surprised to learn that all the heavy hitters of alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, etc., are inflicted on animals as well as humans. I've written about veterinary homeopathy, and the associated manufactroversy, in a previous post, and today I thought I'd take a look at veterinary chiropractic.
The Players
In most states, chiropractic is defined in terms of treatment of humans and chiropractors are thereby licensed only to treat humans. However, there are a variety of ways around this for people who want to subject their animals to this therapy. Some chiropractors will simply treat animals and ignore the fact that it isn't technically legal for them to do so. And some veterinarians will take one of the many training courses available in animal chiropractic and then employ it as part of their practice of veterinary medicine. A previous SBM article has discussed the lack of consistency or legitimate scientific content in most of these courses.

LP Salsa Cowbells are hand crafted in the LP tradition and are specifically designed for use in Latin music. They offer livelier sounds than other drier LP bells and have become extremely popular. They are also great additions to any percussion or drum kit adding new colors to any style of music. LP Salsa Cowbells are equipped with the LP forged eye-bolt assembly (except hand-held bells) to provide a sure grip to any 3/8" diameter rod.

Hartwig, Sven MD*; Tsokos, Michael MD, PhD*; Schmidt, Sven MD*; Byard, Roger W. MD†
Three cases of suicide are described where deaths were due to single gunshot wounds to the head from self-constructed shooting devices. The victims were twin brothers aged 27 years, and a 53-year-old male. The firearms were manufactured by the victims who used machined metal tubes with 12-gauge shotgun and 7.65 mm ammunition, respectively. The mechanism of action in all cases relied upon direct impact on the firing pin rod; with a hammer in 2 cases, and a rock in the third. Homemade firearms are manufactured globally for use in criminal activities, although they tend to be found more often in countries and among groups where there is limited access to commercially manufactured weapons due to economic or legal constraints. Most devices use either a standard sprung hammer or trigger mechanisms. Given the unusual and cumbersome nature of the firing mechanism in the reported cases, it is likely that these firearms were specifically manufactured for the purpose of suicide.

Hey testtrail429.
As a hint to start off, consider ten combinations that correspond to have 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 in the lowest digit (for example $1.98 would have an 8 in this category) so basically this is given when you have N cents in total and to get this attribute you calculate N % 10 where % is the modulus function.
Now consider that to get back the change you need to have a combination of these coins to be the change: so if the change is C then C - 3*x - 5*y = 0 for positive numbers (including zero) to get back your change, otherwise if this is not possible then you can't get the change back.

The Infamous Coin Flip
by PFK
"Judge Who Decided Case With Coin Fired" was the headline from the Associated Press.
According to the Virginia Supreme Court, Judge James Shull admitted tossing a coin to determine which parent would have visitation with a child on Christmas.
This is bad? Am I missing something? Is there a Supreme Court decision that answers the question which parent should visit the child on Christmas? Is there some as yet unarticulated common law principle we don't know about that answers this question? (Actually, there probably is an unarticulated common law principle to decide matters such as these — flip a coin.)
We all know that the only cases that go to trial are the cases in which neither side has enough evidence or legal precedent to force the other side to surrender. The reason the parties go to trial is that neither party knows for sure if they are going to lose. In other words, the case could go either way. You know what the attorneys say to their clients in these cases? "It's a coin toss."
Do you realize that if the judicial system used the coin toss to decide issues, there would have been at least a 50-50 chance that O.J. would have been convicted?
And if the coin flip were used for national security issues, there would have been at least a 50-50 chance that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A 50-50 chance might even have been worth a devastating, unending budget-busting quagmire of a war.
The coin flip is a long-recognized arbiter of human behavior. It contains elements of chance, divinity and mystery, reaching back to the Greek fates that control our destiny. It's random, but it's a randomness mankind can accept because it's a limited randomness — yes or no, 1 or 0, you either win or lose. It's not complex or messy. You can use it to decide minor career moves or for the menu at Burger King.
But it can play a role in large arenas too. The coin toss is at the heart of the pageantry of this country's main reason for being. After the F-16s have flown over, after the national anthem has been sung, as the country's biggest feast day is about to begin, the National Football League uses — what else? — a coin toss to decide who will receive the kick-off at the Superbowl. If it's good enough for the NFL, it might be good enough for the Domestic Relations Court of the state of Virginia.
Oh, well. At least the Virginia Supreme Court left open the possibility of implementing the phrase lawyers use even more often than "It's a coin toss."
All good judges shoot craps.

This player has not hit any home runs.
Much of the data on Baseball-Reference.com's Home Run Logs comes from the Tattersall/McConnell Home Run Log, a database of all homers hit in the major leagues since 1876. This project was begun in the 1940's by John C. Tattersall and was continued after Tattersall's death in 1981 by Bob McConnell, one of SABR's original 16 members. David Vincent, another SABR member, has since assumed the leadership of the project. Baseball-Reference.com has licensed this remarkable database from the Society for American Baseball Research. All credit for the data therein goes to the intrepid researchers who digitized this data from archival sources.
For years from 1913 to 2016, RetroSheet play-by-play data has been used whenever the home run occurred in a game for which we have complete play-by-play data.
There are a handful of cases where the home run logs totals do not agree with the totals on our player pages. We are working to reconcile all of those differences, but believe that in all cases the Home Run Encyclopedia is correct.

Automating the OBIEE patching process from EM Cloud Control 12c
By Torben Hein -Oracle on Oct 09, 2014
(in via Senthil)
With Software patching being one of the more work intensive and error prone tasks in your daily business, it is nice to see that there are people constantly working to make this easier, more reliable and less demanding.
OBIEE Development has taken the time to lay out steps to automate the patching process of OBIEE by using Deployment Procedures (DP) that are already available in Enterprise Manager 12c.
A Deployment Procedure (DP) is a sequence of steps and phases, where each phase can contain sequence of steps. The steps can be scripts or commands to be run on any BI host where patch has to be applied. The DP once created can be used to:
- Apply a patch on multiple BI environments.
- Apply multiple patches if the steps to patch are the same.
- Apply multiple patches having different patching instructions by customizing the DP (adding new steps and enabling/disabling certain steps).
The complete article including detailed explanations, steps and screenshots can be found in:
Automate Patching of OBIEE using EM Cloud Control (Doc ID 1919956.1)
Apart from the obvious work to create this detailed guide and the simplicity of the idea to use what already exists, what I personally like about this is that these Deployment Procedures carry the potential to work for other software that runs on a Weblogic Server just as well.
- They are pointed at any Weblogic Server that are managed by Enterprise Manager 12c
- They call opatch with a user defined set of instructions
so unless we hear different, it is fairly safe to assume that the same technique can be applied to any other Weblogic based Application that uses opatch for patching.
To prevent anyone from thinking that I am are jumping to conclusions here: there is a KM note indicating this:
Master Index for Provisioning and Patching through Deployment Procedures (a Generic Note specific to a Target Type) (Doc ID 1305014.1)
definitely one to keep bookmarked to ease the troubleshooting of DPs:
Tips and Tricks on Debugging Deployment Procedures (Doc ID 463355.1)
And finally the detailed steps to use Deployment Procedures in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Lifecycle Management Administrator's Guide ( Chapter 42 "Customizing Deployment Procedures") along with the instructions how to create them in the first place ( Chapter 41.6 "Creating, Saving, and Launching User Defined Deployment Procedure (UDDP)")

Disputed Kobe memorabilia items find a resting spot
NEWPORT BEACH – To the right of the front desk and the countless signed baseballs, beyond three aisles of hockey and Olympic memorabilia, is the basketball section of the Newport Sports Museum.
There's a classic Spalding ball autographed by the 50 greatest players in NBA history, an initialed pair of Shaquille O'Neal's size-22 white Reeboks, a signed Elgin Baylor Lakers uniform from the 1966-67 season and plenty more.
This week, this area of the museum has attracted a little more buzz.
In the corner, resting in a movable glass case stationed below game-worn Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson jerseys, are six rare pieces of memorabilia that formerly belonged to Lakers star Kobe Bryant. The items are unique not only because of the celebrity status of their former owner but also because of the recent feud and eventual settlement between Bryant, his parents and an auction house that resulted in these select mementos becoming available.
Two of Bryant's maroon and white No. 33 uniforms from his playing days at Lower Merion High in suburban Philadelphia are folded neatly on the lower level of the display case. On a shelf above sit a pair of 2000 NBA championship rings – one gifted to each of Bryant's parents – a ring presented to Bryant at the 2000 All-Star Game and a medal from the 1996 Magic Johnson Roundball Classic.
The museum has hosted the collection since Tuesday and will keep it through Friday. All the while, bidders are competing for the items in an auction that ends July 19 on Goldin Auctions' website, goldinauctions.com. Half of the winning prices from four of the items will be donated to the BULLY Project, a Bryant-supported charity targeting bullying awareness.
"This is the kind of stuff that gets put in somebody's collection and nobody ever sees it again," said museum founder John Hamilton, 71, of Corona del Mar. "It's nice to have the public to be able to enjoy it."
The items were part of a much larger collection that Bryant's mother, Pamela, consigned Goldin Auctions to sell, sparking a legal dispute between Bryant and his parents over ownership of the items. Bryant's parents later issued an apology and the parties settled last month before the case went to trial. Though the full terms of the resolution were not disclosed to the public, these were the six items permitted to hit the market.
While it's difficult to gauge the proceeds each piece will yield, the recent controversy and the publicity it drew might make the items more attractive to collectors, said Goldin Auctions consignment director Chris Cavalier, who is overseeing the display. As of Wednesday afternoon, bidders had raised the price of the larger of the championship rings, originally gifted from Bryant to his father, Joe, to more than $55,000.
"To have this available from a current player of Kobe's stature is, like, unheard of," Cavalier said. "If it wasn't for the familial situation, this stuff would never be available. So this is really a unique opportunity for collectors if you think about it."
But even those not interested in investing large sums of money in the items have been enjoying the display. Since Tuesday morning, several first-time museum visitors have made their way over to what receptionist Diane Baker deemed "Kobe Corner."
"I actually have replica rings of the last championship (the Lakers) won, but these are a lot more impressive," said Chris Goeke, 37, of Irvine. "I've actually never seen a ring this close at all. It's a lot more impressive than my cheap little trinket."
Upon arrival in the basketball section, Victorville resident Alex Gonzalez, 37, dropped to his knees and used his iPhone to snap photos of each piece of Bryant memorabilia. The die-hard Lakers fan had been vacationing with his wife in San Clemente but made sure to stop at the museum Wednesday once he read of the Bryant display.
"All this stuff to me is just sentimental, even just to see it. I'd love to touch it," he said with a laugh. "I'd love to put a ring on and take a picture, but I can't do that. It's just awesome."

Best Buy Q2 Net Drops 45.1 Percent
August 26, 2014,
MINNEAPOLIS-Declines in both sales and gross margin were key factors as Best Buy's second-quarter net income fell 45.1 percent to $146 million.
Net sales in the quarter, which ended on Aug. 2, were down 4 percent to $8.9 billion, including a 2.7 percent falloff in same-store sales. Gross margin dropped 340 basis points as a percentage of sales to 23.1 percent. Somewhat offsetting these factors was selling, general and administrative expenses, which declined 11.1 percent in dollars and 160 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 20.4 percent.
Hubert Joly, Best Buy's president and CEO, said the overall results were actually better than the retailer expected. Joly said the company's Renew Blue strategy--its initiatives designed to grow its online business, enhance the in-store customer experience and leverage its multichannel capabilities--is beginning to bear fruit for its bottom line, in terms of cost reductions and "cost containment" efforts.
"Like other retailers and reflected in this quarter's performance, we continued to see a shift in consumer behavior," Joly said. "Consumers are increasingly researching and buying online. As a result, traffic to our brick and mortar stores continued to decline. Yet our in-store conversion and online traffic continued to increase due to the execution of our Renew Blue strategy, which is in direct alignment with this shift."
Looking ahead, Sharon McCollam, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said the trends of continuing decline in consumer electronics sales and softness in mobile phone sales would probably lead to same-store sales decreases in the low single digits in both the third and fourth quarters. At the same time, the operating income rate in the upcoming quarters is expected to accelerate as expense reductions from the Renew Blue strategy take hold.

At first, Bettie Lee Henry thought of sending her son to a nursing home.
However, through hospice provider VistaCare, 7116 W. Interstate 40, Gussie "Guss" Lee Alexander, 60, stayed at home.
"Oh, my God," Henry said. "It's great. I tell you I love it. I just love it."
Alexander suffers from Huntington's disease. The neurological disorder often makes daily tasks difficult, such as bathing or brushing teeth.
VistaCare visits their home, 1937 N.W. 17th Ave., up to six times a week. It has provided Henry, Alexander's primary caregiver, with a respite from constant care since Easter of 2005.
"It has just provided a great deal of release and comfort for him and his family, knowing that someone is there to help him with his average, daily activities," said Heather Simpson, VistaCare's director of professional relations.
She said hospice is not a place, it's a process to provide support and comfort for the terminally ill. Many patients, in declining health, often survive for more than a year, she said.
Alexander, for example, has a shortened life expectancy because of complications from Huntington's disease and benefits greatly from assisted care.
Hospice care is often paid for by Medicare part A, Medicaid or private insurance, so Henry finds her son's in-home care affordable.
Hospice services in America are underutilized. Only one in three people eligible for care receives it. This under use is pronounced among black Americans.
Only 8 percent of hospice patients in 2004 were black, according to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
This compares to 77 percent of hospice patients in 2004 who were white.
Barriers to access include lack of hospice knowledge among potential patients, a health-care culture focused on curative medicine and misconceptions of the hospice benefit, according VistaCare.
In 2004, VistaCare acquired Prayer of Jabez Hospice of Houston to extend its hospice outreach to black Americans.
"This has enhanced the scope of services we are able to offer the African-American community," said Traci Cooper, executive director of VistaCare's Houston office.
"Our goal is to provide services to as many eligible patients as possible and, hopefully, begin to close the gap on the service utilization for African-Americans in Houston and across the country."
Locally, VistaCare offers its services to 27 Panhandle counties from Plainview to the top of Texas.
"VistaCare is committed to providing culturally competent hospice care," said Jim Dillingham, executive director of the VistaCare Amarillo office. "This also reflects our long-term plan to build solid relationships with trusted organizations who can assist us in bringing the hospice benefit to more eligible patients."

Nelson Mandela, an icon of peace from South Africa, was hospitalized for routine procedures on Saturday. NBC's Lester Holt has more.
JOHANNESBURG -- Former South African president Nelson Mandela was admitted to hospital on Saturday for medical tests, although the government said there was no cause for alarm.
A statement from President Jacob Zuma's office gave no details of the condition of the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader.
"Former President Mandela will receive medical attention from time to time which is consistent with his age," the statement said.
"President Zuma assures all that Madiba is doing well and there is no cause for alarm," it added, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
From prisoner to liberator, Nelson Mandela's fight for equality in South Africa serves as a shining example of justice and peace. Here's a look at the pivotal moments in the life of South Africa's first black president.
Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president after the country's first all-race elections in 1994, was admitted to hospital in February because of abdominal pain but released the following day after a keyhole examination showed there was nothing seriously wrong with him.
He has since spent most of his time in his ancestral home in Qunu, a village in the impoverished Eastern Cape province.
His frail health prevents him from making any public appearances in South Africa, although in the last few months he has continued to receive high-profile visitors, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Taking any point on this lin, if you draw a triangle with the given side, all the triangles will have the same area.
If a and b are the sides of the triangles,and b> a then angle B>A.
According to sine rule
a/sinA = b/sinB.
So a = k*sinA
b = k*sinB.
Hence a + b = k(sinA + sinB) > 2*k*sinA
So a+b will be minimum if a = b.

The "Tortoise" Monaco III - built for Private Reserve Guitars
Designer's note:
"We wanted a guitar that begs you to stop and smell the roses. Then it hit us. The Tortoise! Like the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where "Speedy" the rabbit gets his butt kicked by the tortoise. It's a metaphor for how to live a meaningful life. This beautiful guitar is our tribute to slowing down, enjoying the journey and just being human."

Holder admits he hasn't read Arizona's immigration law
Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized Arizona's new immigration law. He plans to read it soon.
Holder grabbed headlines a few days ago when he said his Justice Department was considering suing Arizona to stop implementation of SB 1070.
The law has several provisions to crack down on illegal immigration at the state level.
In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, however, he admitted he hadn't yet read the law, which is only 10 pages long.
U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, offered to give Holder his copy of the law.

The only way you will ever lose fat and see your abs is if you eat fewer calories than you're eating now. Nothing else—not lifting weights, not cardio, not supplements—can offset failing to adhere to this simple rule. Period. So if you can put your pizza and beer day on hold for the next six weeks, read on, and we'll show you how to get a six-pack before summer is over.
PROMOTION: If you're looking for a rapid weight-loss program, The 21-Day Shred app has been update as of January 5th, 2016. Download for iOS devices. (Android users can get a copy of the PDF)
To lose fat, you have to burn more calories than you take in—but that doesn't mean you can burn them with exercise. As Eric Ravussin, Ph.D., a weight-loss expert and professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA, famously told The New York Times, "Exercise by itself is pretty useless for weight loss." He ultimately made the point not only that people consume more calories than they can burn, but also that the extra strain of exercise stimulates appetite, making it even easier to replace the calories they've worked off.
According to Mayo Clinic research, a 160-pound person performing high-impact aerobic exercise will burn only 533 calories in one hour. (Note that most people aren't capable of sustaining an intense pace anywhere near that long.) Now consider that a healthy dinner of just four ounces of skinless chicken breast and one cup of rice contains 385 calories. That's right: Eat one light meal and you're a stone's throw from breaking even with the calories you burned in that day's workout—assuming the workout was long and extremely vigorous in the first place.
So if you can't create a caloric deficit with exercise (at least not without a ton of it, marathon runners not withstanding), you must do it with your diet. Multiply your current body weight by 12—that's how many calories you should consume per day to start with. If you're very overweight, base your diet on the body weight you're aiming for. So if you're 220 pounds but remember looking and feeling your best when you were 190, start taking in 2,300 calories a day (190 x 12, rounded up for simplicity).

We used data from a hospital-based case-control study of tobacco-related cancers to test the hypothesis that smoking mentholated cigarettes increases the risk of cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, a cancer with a 50% higher incidence in black Americans compared with whites. Detailed information on smoking habits and other variables, obtained in personal interviews, was available for 194 male and 82 female newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed cases of oropharyngeal cancer and 845 male and 411 female controls, all of whom were current smokers. In univariate, stratified, and multivariable analyses involving all cases and controls, menthol was not a risk factor for cancer. The odds ratio, adjusted for covariates, for smoking mentholated cigarettes for >= 15 years relative to smoking nonmentholated cigarettes only was 0.9 (95% confidence interval = 0.5-1.6) in males, and 0.7 (95% confidence interval = 0.5-1.7) in females. In analyses by subsite, menthol use was positively associated only with cancer of the pharynx in males, although the magnitude of the association was small. These results indicate that use of mentholated cigarettes is unlikely to be an important independent factor in oropharyngeal cancer.

Penn State wraps the first season of the Bill O'Brien era today at Beaver Stadium when they host the Wisconsin Badgers, kickoff set for 3:30. A win today by Penn State would give the Nittany Lions an 8 win season which is pretty remarkable considering all of the controversy that has surrounded the Penn State football program for the past year.

Lee Konitz: Conversations on the Improviser's Art
In jazz circles there is always talk about the importance of individuality, and there are always legions of musicians striving to play like someone else. A journeyman striver who patterns himself on one of the music's geniuses may practice hard, embed in his brain and muscle memory an arsenal of phrases and techniques, reach high levels of accomplishment, develop a following and be a success. Most of the great individualists worked hard to develop their means of expression, but hard work neither requires nor supplies originality. Paul Quinichette worked diligently to learn to play like Lester Young. That is one way to approach jazz. Then there is Lee Konitz's way.
In a generation loaded with alto saxophonists who wanted to be Charlie Parker, Konitz never wanted to be anyone but himself. He tells Andy Hamilton in this book of transcribed conversations that as a youngster he was impressed when he was studying with Lennie Tristano and encountered Parker's records. He went on to learn some of Parker's solos. But, he says, "When I first heard him I was already formulating a style. … It was very fortunate that I started with Tristano before hearing Bird—I would have gone the way of all the others, the imitators." Based on six decades of recorded evidence and on the cogency and clarity of his thinking expressed in this book, that seems unlikely.
In answer to informed and stimulating questions from Hamilton, Konitz provides insights into what he got from Tristano and why he left his teacher's orbit. He discusses the difference between playing on changes and his approach involving note-to-note development of melody. In non-technical language, he reflects on questions of tone, pitch, time, volume, the relationship of sound quality to note choices, and such intimate artistic matters as why he prefers to play with his eyes closed. Konitz illuminates the creative process. He is forthright, prickly, wry and sometimes very funny in his comments about music and musicians. Among the players he evaluates, for better or for worse, are Tristano, Warne Marsh, Chet Baker, Anthony Braxton, Clare Fischer, James Moody and Dexter Gordon.
Hamilton gives the book balance with his introduction, his well-written transitional paragraphs and interviews about Konitz with other musicians. The diverse lot of 38 interviewees includes Phil Woods, Wayne Shorter, George Russell, Clare Fischer, Sonny Rollins, Gunther Schuller, Greg Osby and John Tchicai, with a foreword by Joe Lovano. Hamilton provides chapter notes, seven transcriptions of Konitz's music, eight pages of photographs, a limited discography, a bibliography and the comprehensive index essential to a book that will have a long shelf life as a reference.
The transcribed interview format is often used in lieu of writing. It usually induces, at least in this reader, frustration followed by boredom and premature closure of the book. That is not a problem here. Konitz's disarming candor about himself and others, and Hamilton's skill as a writer and organizer, overcome the handicap of the form.

LOS ANGELES (December 18, 2013) — Growing up behind a TV camera, in Southern California, and as a member of Christian television's First Family, Matthew Crouch certainly had ample opportunity to rub shoulders with more than a few of Hollywood's big screen legends. And as the producer of a healthy handful of successful films in the faith-and-family genre, the Trinity Broadcasting Network Vice President has worked up close and personal with many veteran actors over the years.
It's safe to say, however, that no star Mr. Crouch worked with in his nearly forty years of TV and movie production burned any brighter than Silver Screen legend Peter O'Toole, who died December 14 at the age of 81.
Of course, the English film star's iconic status will forever be connected with his riveting portrayal of T.E. Lawrence in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia, which garnered seven Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture. But for the son of TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch, Mr. O'Toole will be most remembered for his portrayal of the prophet Samuel in Mr. Crouch's own film, One Night With the King, the epic big-screen dramatic retelling of the story of Esther (Hadassah) in the Old Testament. While coming in the twilight of Mr. O'Toole's stellar career, his appearance in One Night With the King was a special moment for Mr. Crouch, who recalled Mr. O'Toole shortly after his passing.
"Working with an actor of Peter O'Toole's stature would be special for any producer," said Mr. Crouch. "For those of us filming One Night With the King, it was a definite moment in time, and while we are deeply saddened by his passing, we will never forget the brief time we were honored to work with him."
Mr. Crouch noted that Mr. O'Toole's work in One Night With the King was made more special by the fact that it paired him with another big screen legend, Omar Sharif, for the first time since the two appeared together in Lawrence of Arabia over forty years earlier.
"There is no one we could have imagined more perfect to play the role of the desert prophet Samuel in One Night With the King than 'Lawrence of Arabia' himself," Mr. Crouch recalled. "And for Peter to be appearing for the first time in the same film with Omar Sharif since Lawrence only made it all the more memorable."
Stephan Blinn, a producer and screen writer for One Night With the King, had his own special memories of working with Mr. O'Toole. "Having tea on the palace steps in Rajastan, India with Peter O'Toole while shooting One Night With The King was one of the most treasured experiences of my life," recalled Mr. Blinn. "Whether speaking with producers or reminiscing with the local wait staff whose names he remembered from working there twenty years before, Peter was the epitome of class and grace, and he made everyone feel as if they were as big and as irreplaceable a star as himself."
Although Mr. O'Toole was in his 70s, Mr. Blinn recalled that the screen legend "spun stories and told tales with a wit and a whimsy that will never be forgotten." And Mr. O'Toole's onscreen work was remarkable to experience, added Mr. Blinn. "To watch him growl out the words of the prophet Samuel was to watch the word of God come to life before our eyes."
Based on the best-selling novel Hadassah: One Night With the King, by Tommy Tenney and Mark Andrew Olsen, the big-screen adaptation produced by Matthew Crouch chronicles the rise of Hadassah/Esther from peasant to princess, her courageous role in the redemption of the Jewish people from certain destruction, and her winning of the love of the most powerful man in the kingdom.
In addition to Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, One Night With the King stars a number of other renowned actors, including John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Luke Goss (Blade II, ZigZag), John Noble (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Tommy 'Tiny' Lister (Next Friday), James Callis (Bridget Jones Diary), Jonah Lotan (The Jacket) and Tiffany Dupont as Esther/Hadassah.
"One Night With the King is a story of divine destiny," said Mr. Crouch. "Hadassah was a poor, unknown peasant girl, an orphan, an outcast from a distant land, who went on to become queen of a powerful empire. Her poignant story proves that anyone, no matter their circumstances, can rise to greatness when guided by the hand of destiny."
TBN will air One Night With the King on December 30th and December 31st, New Years. Eve. Click Here for broadcast times.

For my previous coverage of this event, go here.
7:04 – As TBNYU's new rules bar me from basically every meeting, my voice, the voice going out to the people, is being silenced Dead clever the life and crimes of julie bottomley download. As I sit far, far away, the protesters scheme and plot while leaving me totally unrepresented. These kind of scare tactics will not stand! Here are my demands:
First, I demand to be allowed to continue to blog from here in the occupied space even if I betray TBNYU's trust, lie, or commit other egregious ethics violations.
Second, I demand full negotiation plan disclosure.
Third, I demand that a group of NYU Local writers form a new oversight committee with full power to override any TBNYU plans that are deemed bad ideas.
Fourth, I demand a silly antic rate increase of no more than 1%/year.
Fifth, I demand that 13 NYU Local writers be given full member fee waivers to join TBNYU, including funding for spraypaint and vegan delicacies.
Sixth, I demand that the Taiwanese get all leftover vegan foods.
Whose radical student group? OUR RADICAL STUDENT GROUP.
(I kid TBNYU, I kid. Don't throw me out of here – see my first demand).
More liveblog after the jump.
7:29 – guy fawkes: "DEMAND #7 amendment: Transparency in clothing is an acceptable alternative to transparency in NYU's budget." Lol city. What a day, everyone. What a day.
7:37 – Mad love to my boys from Ultimate Frisbee, Gabe and Chappy, for getting on the CBS news.
7:40 – Funny, funny stuff in the comments. @Anna: Fairly big. Capacity 319.
7:43 – Big news. Various administrators are calling parents of students, alerting them to what their children are doing, and scaring them with "vague" threats of punishment to their kids.
7:48 – I'm a little late to this, but my publisher and editor are debating top people from WSN on WNYU. Right now they are trying to discredit what I've been doing all day, saying the WSN story is the "official" version of the story.
7:54 – You're gonna want to check the archives on this WNYU show. I'll post it and twitter it once it archives.
It seems like most of the last meeting was spent talking about meta stuff about the night. Not much planning or scheming. New pics coming up shortly.
8:03 – Mood is sour here. People are on their cellphones, stressing out. I'm gonna try to get some interviews here in a minute.
8:10 – Some guy who I've never talked to just came over and, in a threatening voice, told me not to post anything I'd heard from their meeting. He actually said, "Do you understand?" Wow I'm sick of this. These people need to chill out a little bit, damn. Anyway, here's my blogging territory and view from my blogging territory, respectively:
8:18 – NYU Local publisher (Cody) and writer (Jess) debated WSN writers on WNYU earlier. The major point of discussion was the TBNYU occupation coverage. Check out the whole archived show here.
8:19 – This is the most negative I've seen the group tonight. I'm overhearing talks of failure and fear. People are worried about being arrested and/or expelled. A little tense in here.
8:23 – @Kristen: As long as they need to, they say. However, people keep leaving – that could end up causing trouble. Which leads me to @Avery: my current count is 33. It's definitely dwindled.
8:37 – @Kate Turtle: I think you're right. The people remaining here are brave; they are aware of the fact that this probably won't end well. I've been thinking about what the endgame might look like. I don't foresee negotiations – there hasn't been even an inkling of a serious offer on the part of the administration to talk to the protesters. I think it could get rough. Discuss.
8:49 – @Brett Anon: It's been difficult to tell if there's been a guard build-up recently. I haven't noticed one, but there are back entrances to Kimmel so it's impossible to know. I think force isn't out of the option. The question is how using force will reflect on NYU. Will they be bashed for refusing to talk or thanked for ending an "annoying" occupation? Hard to say really. If you judged by what the consensus seems to be here on this blog, people wouldn't be against force. But remember that groups like TBNYU are a very vocal minority and all those groups will come out of the wood work and raise hell. I'm not sure I can make a confident prediction.
@Dev I: Yes, there will be a midnight protest, says TBNYU. And big thanks for checking me more than Perez and FB. Seriously that's probably the nicest thing anyone's said all night! lolol
8:57 – BREAKING: More people just busted in through the barricade to join the occupiers. Video to follow.
9:05 – Lots of people just got in. Takes a little time to post to YouTube but i'll have it shortly. Not surprisingly, people are hyped again.
9:15 – Well over 50 people got in. Guards are pissed, Bob is red-faced angry. Guard broke hurt his arm too. Yikes.
9:21 – Just after the break-in:
This was how they tried to stop 55 people from getting in.
9:27 – Correction: A guard's arm was hurt, not broken, and another was hurt as well. But no broken arms. I pulled that up out of the comments and didn't read the WSN piece myself. TBNYU people and guards confirmed NO break.
9:29 – Video of break-in:
9:33 – Crazy, right? 55 people didn't get in though, TBNYU gave me bad numbers. There's a total of 62 people here, according to TBNYU. I guess I should double check since they just gave me faulty data.
Will have some interviews with new "occupiers of space" in a bit.
9:41 – Reports are all over the place. I just spoke to a guard who told me a male guard hurt his arm badly (could be broken) and a female guard hit her head and was hurt. He said, "we have to use restraint, you know?" I mentioned, "The cops are gonna be here soon, huh?" He nodded his head strongly yes.
9:49 – New occupiers are introducing themselves to the old guard in a meeting.
WSN reports that ambulance is coming to pick up female guard. She must have really gotten knocked around. NOT cool.
9:54 – Via Gmail chat with a friend: "its funny that they'll occupy a building and run past guards and stir up a huge ruckus but they don't smoke their ciggarettes insides"
Quite true.
9:56 – @george alumni: Take Back NYU has no hierarchy, so they don't have any specific "leaders." That said, there are definitely people who have had more to do with this whole operation than others. See my previous thread with pictures of the negotiating crew – they, I would say, are the larger organizers.
10:03 – @Mary Rochester: You're right. I shouldn't assume that it's bad just because they call an ambulance. There's definitely a lot of secrecy right now on both sides. It's totally possible (but certainly a cynical view to take) that the guard isn't hurt much at all.
@Eric Levin: Great work, man. You're outposting me.
They're still in a meeting here. 3 hours till the big bad 1 AM deadline of doom. It's hard to know if NYU admin are actually going to enforce this deadline, especially now that they allowed such a large breach.
The TBNYUers are reading out loud to the group their update that Eric Levin posted about non-violence.
10:10 – Sounds like arrests will be made after 1 AM and some people may get charged for breaking the door to the balcony. The clock is ticking…
10:18 – TBNYU is arguing about the language of their non-violence statement. They seem to be missing the point..
@Eric: No, I have no press pass. I assume that means I can get rounded up with the protesters?
10:23 – Meeting is adjourned and TBNYU is now going outside on the balcony yelling again. I really hope they try the food bucket under the cover of darkness heh heh heh.
10:31 – Serious meeting between TBNYU negotiators and go-betweens (including Bob) taking place right now. Bathroom privileges have been taken away.
@Matt Nolin: Yes, Times reporter is gone. He left a few hours ago.
10:36 – @Claire: Thanks for the support! I have to say, though, the comments have been ablaze this evening and way more info is flowing through them then through me. So, props, everyone. I hope you will all stick around the site once this is all over – there's lots to check out.
Oh and that food was really good.
10:50 – Sorry for the long delay. I talked to some people about a press pass – they don't seem to keen on helping me out. I don't think it'll be a big deal, particularly since I haven't participated in any of the blockading/breaking onto the balcony. You better believe I'll get a ton of video if the cops come.
THAT SAID, I'm hearing that negotiations are in preliminary stages. Unclear yet what the terms are and who the players are. If TBNYU does end up sitting down at the table with NYU admins, it will probably because of the bum rush about an hour ago. Wild stuff will keep you posted.
This is fantastic. From the comments:
11:06 – Everyone is out on the balcony right now – apparently on the local news. I'm still trying to get people to talk to me – there are a number of protesters who strongly dislike me (for whatever reason). Other protesters have been very kind and told me they really appreciate my presence. Very strange disconnect.
This is a press break – more discussion about negotiation should resume shortly.
11:12 – On the balcony, shouting at the news:
11:21 – First new occupier interview. This is Peter Bradley, a comparative literature major in CAS ('09):
Peter didn't even know about the occupation until tonight when he stepped out of Bobst library (the one TBNYU wants opened to the public) for a smoke and saw heavy security at Kimmel. I asked him why he decided to join the occupation, particularly considering the risks of punishment. He said that it's exciting but "what's important for me is that it can enter into everyone's consciousness." He mentioned his time abroad in France in a school system that was cheaper and better run. Speaking of the American collegiate experience, he says, "I'm disillusioned with the cost and the supposed benefit of that cost."
He doesn't expect NYU to meet the demands, but says that what's important is that they make a statement that "enters into serious national dialogue."
11:37 – Negotiation terms are still being played. Sounds like it's bad news for TBNYU in any case. There's a paddywagon here! I'll try to grab a pic.
11:41 – Bathroom access has been temporarily reinstated, but you have to go in pairs, like the buddy system. Hall pass anyone?
Fearless Prediction: This is all over by 2 AM. The more little snippets of conversation I hear, the more I think NYU's just gonna bring in the NYPD at 1. Every "negotiation" put on the table by NYU seems to have a "You're outta here by 1 AM tonight" provision.
11:46 – Overheard: "Let's not get scared, guys." ==> Get scared, guys.
11:48 – I am still shut out of the meetings, but I'm still hearing some TBNYUers talking like they have a real shot at getting demands met. It's just not gonna happen. There has been no progress thus far. It's really looking bleak. The administration's only offers are unreasonable to TBNYU.
11:54 – "Negotiations about the negotiations" have begun. The administration offered, as a "favor," a "safe haven" program which allowed students to leave and get only NYU probation. TBNYU rejected the offer.
New negotiations have resumed and are currently taking place. The TBNYUer I spoke with believes the 1 AM deadline is a bluff – she thinks the administration would be crazy to try to arrest students when there is such a big crowd (a couple hundred, I'd estimate).
12:03 – New thread! Go here.
