In the world
From London to Berlin, Washington to Tel Aviv, French voters lined up at polling stations abroad at the weekend to cast ballots for one of the closest presidential elections in years back home.
Around 1.3 million French people abroad are registered to vote -- representing around two percent of the total electorate.
In London -- often called the sixth biggest French city -- hundreds of people queued up outside the two polling stations well before they opened on Sunday, with some waiting up to two hours to vote.
China's foreign minister called Sunday for the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula amid rising tension over North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes.
"China is firmly supporting the denuclearisation of the area in the name of stability and peace", Wang Yi told reporters in Athens after meeting Greek counterpart Nikos Kotzias.
"China may not have the key to this solution ... but we are happy that more sides are accepting our point of view", he added.
US actress Erin Moran, who played mischievous kid sister Joanie on the sitcom "Happy Days" and its spin-off "Joanie Loves Chachi," has died. She was 56.
The Harrison County Sheriff's department in Indiana said Moran was found "unresponsive" following a 911 call to the authorities at 4:07 pm (2007 GMT) on Saturday.
"Upon the arrival of first responders, it was determined that Erin Marie Moran Fleischmann was deceased and an autopsy is pending," it said.
Charity boats rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean are colluding with traffickers in Libya, an Italian prosecutor was quoted as saying Sunday, stirring up a simmering row over aid groups' role in Europe's migrant crisis.
In an interview with Italian daily La Stampa, Sicily-based prosecutor Carmelo Zuccaro made his most specific claims yet over NGO activities off Libya, which the EU border agency Frontex recently described as tantamount to providing a "taxi" service to Europe.
Croatia honoured on Sunday the victims of its most brutal World War II death camp, an event again snubbed by ethnic Serbs, Jews and anti-fascists who accuse authorities of tolerating a pro-Nazi ideology.
Conservative Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, several ministers and foreign diplomats attended a commemoration ceremony at the site of the Jasenovac camp which was dismantled 72 years ago.
Germany's anti-immigration AfD wrapped up a fractious party congress Sunday by choosing a new team to lead it into a September general election, after dramatically sidelining its most prominent personality.
Capping two days of often bitter debate on its platform and personnel, the Alternative for Germany appointed two chief candidates: 76-year-old Alexander Gauland, a hardline defector from Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU, and Alice Weidel, 38, an openly lesbian former investment banker.
The two frontrunners in France's closely fought presidential election, centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen, cast their ballots as the first round of voting kicked off on Sunday.
A throng of well-wishers and journalists were on hand as Macron, 39, accompanied by his 64-year-old wife Brigitte, arrived to vote in the chic northern seaside resort of Le Touquet.
The couple voted at the same town hall where they were married 10 years ago.
The OSCE said Sunday the first staff member of its monitoring mission in Ukraine had died after a patrol vehicle hit a landmine in the Russian-backed separatist east.
The announcement saw Kiev and the insurgents quickly trade blame over who was at fault for one of the most diplomatically sensitive episodes since Europe's only war began more than three years ago.
Spanish coast guard crews worked Sunday to clean up a three-kilometre (1.9-mile) long diesel slick off the holiday island of Gran Canaria after a passenger ferry slammed into a pier.
The ferry carrying 140 passengers smashed into a breakwater late Friday in the port of Las Palmas, the capital of Spain's Canary islands off the northwest coast of Africa.
Thirteen people were injured and the crash damaged underwater fuel pipes, the regional government said in a statement. Video footage on Spanish television showed chunks of concrete falling onto the port.
Hundreds of thousands of Shiite faithful thronged the mausoleum of Imam Kadhim in Baghdad Sunday for the climax of a week-long pilgrimage that saw millions converge on the Iraqi capital.
Beating their heads and chests, crowds of pilgrims lurched and swerved to try to touch a mock coffin being carried to the shrine in the northern neighbourhood of Kadhimiyah.
Britain's opposition Labour party promised Sunday to introduce four new public holidays if it wins the June snap election, marking the patron saints days of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Leftist leader Jeremy Corbyn said the measure would "give workers the break they deserve" while also uniting the four nations, whose ties have been strained by the vote to leave the European Union.
A US citizen has been arrested as he tried to fly out of North Korea, becoming the third American to be detained there, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Sunday.
There was no immediate official confirmation of the reported arrest, which would come at a tense time in relations between Pyongyang and Washington.
Yonhap quoted sources as saying the man, identified only by his surname Kim, was arrested last Friday at Pyongyang International Airport on his way out of the country.
Daniel Wanjiru and record-breaking Mary Keitany made it a memorable double for Kenya on Sunday as they stormed to victories in the London Marathon.
Keitany, recording her third London win to put alongside her trio of New York victories, set a new world record for a women's only marathon of 2hr 17min 01sec, smashing the 14-year-old mark of British great Paula Radcliffe.
"It was a great day for me. It was really amazing to run the best time," 35-year-old Keitany told the BBC.
Afghan families buried their dead and the country observed a national day of mourning Sunday after at least 100 soldiers were killed or wounded in a Taliban attack on a military base, prompting angry calls for ministers and army chiefs to resign.
The exact toll from Friday's assault in the northern province of Balkh remained unclear, with some local officials putting the number of dead alone as high as 130.
The raid, the deadliest-ever by the Taliban on a military base, underscores their growing strength more than 15 years after they were ousted from power.
A 12-year-old boy trying to drive from coast-to-coast through the vast Australian outback was stopped by traffic police more than a thousand kilometres into the epic road trip, authorities said Sunday.
The child was picked up by local police in the mining city of Broken Hill, around a 14-hour drive from his starting point in the village of Kendall in the east of Australia.
Australia and New Zealand stiffened their rhetoric against North Korea Sunday after the isolated state threatened Canberra with a nuclear strike, urging it to think twice before "blindly and zealously toeing the US line".
The move comes as US Vice President Mike Pence wraps up an Asia tour, which has included visits to South Korea, Japan and Australia partly to reassure allies amid fears that Pyongyang may be readying for a sixth nuclear test.
Election season is under way in Iran and the rumour mill is in overdrive as the public tries to divine the backroom machinations that have thrown up major surprises in the past.
"I looked back at the cables our embassy was sending out just a few weeks before the last election," said a Western diplomat in Tehran.
"None of them were predicting (Hassan) Rouhani would win," she laughed, referring to the current president.
An Israeli attack on a Syrian camp for pro-government forces killed three fighters near the Golan Heights on Sunday, an official from the forces said.
The official told AFP that two fighters were also wounded in the attack on the Al-Fawwar camp near Quneitra in southwestern Syria, adding that it was unclear whether the damage was inflicted by an air strike or shelling.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said the attack had targeted a "weapons warehouse" in the camp.
Israel's army declined to comment Sunday on the attack.
The Canterbury Crusaders remained unbeaten as New Zealand teams dominated Super Rugby this weekend ahead of June's British and Irish Lions tour.
The seven-time champions smashed leading South African contenders Western Stormers 57-24 in Christchurch as Kiwi teams won all four of their encounters.
George Bridge claimed a hat-trick and Kieran Read added a double in the Crusaders eight-try romp to remain unbeaten after eight matches.
French voters flocked to the polls under heavy security Sunday in the first round of a highly unpredictable presidential election seen as vital for the future of the ailing European Union.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen and centrist Emmanuel Macron are the favourites to progress to a run-off on May 7 but the race is too close to call in a deeply divided country.
Turkey's embattled opposition to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan can still find glimmers of hope in a shifting political landscape despite the strongman winning a controversial referendum that will hugely enhance his powers.
The 'No' vote polled 48.59 in the April 16 poll after a lopsided campaign that saw the 'Yes' dominate the airwaves with Erdogan speeches and flood the streets with pro-government billboards.
France was on edge on the eve of its most unpredictable presidential election in decades, which will take place under heightened security after the jihadist killing of a policeman.
The shooting on Paris's world-renowned Champs Elysees avenue on Thursday, claimed by the Islamic State group, thrust questions of security to the fore of campaigning after nine months of relative calm.
On Saturday, police arrested a man carrying a knife at Paris's Gare du Nord station, briefly causing panic as some passengers rushed out of the way.
The US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson and other warships started joint exercises with Japan on Sunday, the American navy said, as regional tensions rise over North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes.
The exercises -- also involving a US guided-missile cruiser and guided-missile destroyer -- are being held in the Philippine Sea, the navy said, as the naval strike group "continued its northern transit in the Western Pacific".
Election season is under way in Iran and the rumour mill is in overdrive as the public tries to divine the backroom machinations that have thrown up major surprises in the past.
"I looked back at the cables our embassy was sending out just a few weeks before the last election," said a Western diplomat in Tehran.
"None of them were predicting (Hassan) Rouhani would win," she laughed, referring to the current president.
The day after Nepal was struck by a devastating earthquake, Samrat Basnet opened his doors to the wounded as hospitals overwhelmed with thousands of victims had to send away those without life-threatening injuries.
Two years on Basnet is still caring for a handful of the 22,000 Nepalis injured in the disaster, many left with preventable disabilities after slipping through the cracks of a woeful healthcare system.
Late in the afternoon of April 29, 1992, the looting began in south Los Angeles, quickly escalating as motorists were dragged from their cars and vehicles set alight.
In the downtown area a few miles away, an angry crowd began to build at the city police headquarters and, as day turned to night, protesters attacked uniformed officers and blocked traffic.
The fuse had been lit by the acquittal earlier in the day of four white police officers filmed beating black motorist Rodney King with wooden batons.
Dressed in white, Venezuelan protesters opposed to President Nicolas Maduro marched in silence in several cities to pay respects to 20 people killed in three weeks of unrest.
Unlike demonstrations in recent days, the rallies in Caracas, Maracaibo, Barquisimeto and San Cristobal passed with no major violence reported between protesters and police.
Police in Nicaragua blocked thousands of farmers and rural residents from holding a march against a government plan to build a canal across the country, potentially carving up their land.
"They are closing off all the roads. It's pitiful what's happening in Nicaragua," said one of the leaders of the demonstration, Francisca Ramirez.
Police preventing buses and trucks carrying protesters from converging in the town of Juigalpa, east of the capital Managua, said the demonstration was illegal.
With fears rising that the Trump administration will follow through on its threats to raise trade barriers, world finance ministers are united on one message: protectionism threatens the global economy.
Except that the word "protectionism" was omitted from the final statement of the International Monetary Fund's semi-annual meeting Saturday.
"We reaffirm our commitment to... avoid inward-looking policies, and preserve global financial stability," the ministers said in the communique.
The Trump administration's climate skepticism and its possible withdrawal from the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015 drew a cloud over this week's grand economic conclave in Washington.
The regular meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund -- always accompanied by a gathering of G20 finance ministers -- have rung out with calls to action against global warming in recent years.
President Michel Temer insists that a growing corruption scandal in his government will not paralyze Brazil as it struggles to emerge from its deepest recession in history.
"Brazil doesn't stop," he said in an interview broadcast Saturday on Spanish television TVE ahead of a visit Monday by Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. "So it won't be corrupt acts that paralyze the country."
A day before France votes for a new president, expatriates and residents in overseas territories in the Western Hemisphere cast their ballots Saturday, with some hoping to stop a global wave of right-wing nationalism from claiming their country.
Hundreds of thousands of French nationals are eligible to vote in the United States, Canada and Latin America in one of the most unpredictable elections in decades, seen as crucial for the future of a deeply divided country and the European Union.
Mourners raised their arms in a fascist salute as one of the last ministers to serve under former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, Jose Utrera Molina, was buried Saturday.
Molina, who died at the age of 91, never wavered in his loyalty to the dictator who ruled from 1939 until 1975.
Numerous mourners at Molina's funeral in the resort town of Nerja in southern Spain, where the ex-minister lived, raised their arms as the coffin passed, while some sang the "Cara al sol" anthem of the Spanish Phalanx fascist party, an AFP photographer said.
Pope Francis on Saturday described some of Europe's refugee centres as "concentration camps" as he paid tribute to an unknown Christian woman slain for her faith in front of her Muslim husband.
"These refugee camps -- so many are concentration camps, crowded with people... because international accords seem more important than human rights," Francis said in impromptu remarks at a ceremony in memory of modern day Christian martyrs.
Thousands of Hungarian protestors brandishing satirical placards staged a humourous but seriously intended demonstration Saturday, pouring scorn on the policies of hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
"Down with the press!" "Down with education! and "More demagoguery!" chanted the protestors, demanding that the government build a direct train link with Moscow and North Korea.
The rally, held days before the planned adoption of a new law clamping down on non-governmental organisations (NGOs), was dubbed "Hungary's funniest demonstration" by the country's media.

- May 20, 2014Hi, "The habitat" are not all equal.Invasive species have been used for habitat restoration. Where nothing is growing, coverage and biomass are valuable.But, to my knowledge, the dynamics of invasive species make good competitors against native species in more stable habitats. Bumbus terrestris, or Vespula germanica for example, seem to have some desfavorable impact on native bees in Patagonia.Alicia

Asunto: [beemonitoring] Invasive species are...nice?
The following link will take you to the latest stage in the ecological propaganda wars. The argument here is that introduced species that become invasive make habitats more diverse, not less. The author is unfamiliar to me and I must read the publication but this is an argument that goes back to one of the first books that spooky old Michael Pollan wrote.Peter

Robert Wise
Julie Andrews
Christopher Plummer
Printer-Friendly version
However, when the review copy of the blu-ray arrived in the mail last week, I thought that I might as well sit my ass down and give the film a shot. Having finally seen the entire film, I can admit that yes, SOUND OF MUSIC is truly a wonderful film. There's something about it, be it the wonderfully effervescent performance by Julie Andrews, the charisma of Christopher Plummer, or the skillful mixing of fact (The Trapp family & WW2) and fiction (pretty much everything else- the real Maria was no Julie Andrews). Most of all, it's just the tone of the thing which is unbelievably pleasant.
In order to truly enjoy THE SOUND OF MUSIC you just need to surrender to it. If you do, you can't help but get swept up in the pure joy of the film. I really loved it, and I can see why it's touched generations of moviegoers. My only regret is that I didn't give it a chance sooner.
The extras get started with an audio commentary by Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, and Robert Wise . There's also an interactive Your Favorite Things mode including karaoke mode, trivia tracks, PiP.
Disc two is where things get really crazy. We start of with Musical Stages which is an interactive mode that gives you access to about ninety minutes of mini-docs, including features on the real Von Trapps, Roger & Hammerstein who wrote the original stage version, and features on each song.
Next up is A City of Song which is an interactive video tour of the locations where the film was shot. Next, all the previous special features from the previous DVDs. This includes many long form docs, including the ninety minute, The Sound of Music: From Fact to Phenomenon , and the hour long My Favorite Things: Julie Andrews Remembers . Plummer fans will be happy to see that despite his apparent hatred of the film, he's not above reminiscing, in Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer: A Reminiscence , and From Liesl to Gretl a doc on all the child actors. There's also not one, but two more feature-length documentaries, on Rodgers & Hammerstein Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Sound of American Music and Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Sound of Movies . Other than that, there's still half a dozen other short featurettes , the theatrical trailers , TV Spots , Radio Spots, deleted scenes, screen tests, footage of Julie Andrews singing with the real Maria Von Trapp , and more. There's probably about 7 hours worth of documentaries here. It's so comprehensive it's almost ridiculous.

A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! Also this is the last chapter for this story. Part two is coming. I know this was short but the next story will be longer.
Tommy and Jason started tickling them. Kimberly and Trini held their breath and bit down on their lower lip to keep themselves from laughing.
"Come on Beautiful let me hear you laugh. I know you want to, you know you want to so just do it" Tommy said as he tickled another spot on her body. "Kimberly…don't…listen…to…him" Trini got out before having to hold her breath again.
"Tommy…please…stop…this…is… torture" Kimberly gasped out then held her breath again.
"Hey Jason where are some of Kimberly's ticklish spots" Tommy asked. "Jason…don't… Kimberly had to stop.
"Try her sides" Jason said as he tickled Trini some more.
"Tommy…don't" Kimberly said before she held her breath.
Tommy pinched her sides. She squealed.
"Kimberly…don't…laugh" Trini said. "Jason…stop" Trini begged.
Both girls wiggled tried to get free but it wasn't working.
"Plan B" Kimberly gasped out.
"No…that's…if…we…start…laughING" Trini squealed as Jason tickled her ribs.
She couldn't hold it in any longer her face was almost blue from not breathing. She burst out laughing.
"TRINI NO" Kimberly screamed.
She couldn't hold it in much longer either. Her face was blue. She burst out into a giggling fit.
"Stop…stop…stop" both girls cried out.
"PLAN B, PLAN B" Trini shouted.
The girls started kicking. Tommy put one of his legs on her and held her down and pinched her sides some more. Jason did the same thing.
"Tommy I'm not kidding anymore hahahahahahahahahah stop please I hahahahahahah can't breathe I need a hahahahahah break please Tommy please" Kimberly begged still giggling.
She was helpless to do anything but giggle.
"Yeah Jason stop please hahahahahah I need to catch my breath please" Trini also begged.
"Are you girls sorry for putting the bugs in out sleeping bags" Jason asked?
"YES! YES! STOP THE TORTURE STOP IT PLEASE" Trini gasped out.
Kimberly was completely breathless. She nodded her head the best she could as she tried to breath. Finally after what felt like forever they boys stopped, and unpinned the girls. The girl were breathing heavy.
"Trini I am never listening to you again" Kimberly said.
"I'm never going to listen to me again either that was torture" Trini said.
They guys laughed.
"Its wasn't that bad guys" Jason said.
"Oh yeah well lets pin you down and tickle you with no mercy and see how you like it" Trini said.
"No Trini lets just get in out sleeping bags and rest" Kimberly said as she got cozy in her pink sleeping bag but then she felt something weird by her feet. "Tommy you didn't" Kimberly said. "
Didn't what Kim" he asked?
"Put the fake spider in my sleeping bag"?
Tommy held the fake spider. The other fake animals were on the floor. She felt something inside her sleeping bag crawling on her. She screamed and jumped out of her sleeping bag and locked on to Tommy. Jason looked in the sleeping bag and there it was a tiny spider. Kimberly screamed and griped onto Tommy tighter.
"Spider=bad" Kimberly said.
"Oh come on Kim the thing is smaller then you. How can you be scared of it" Jason asked?
Then he got an evil idea. He put the fake spider on his hand and walked toward her. "Ok look Kimberly you scared him. Awwwww kiss it and say you're sorry" Jason said.
Kimberly let go of Tommy and started backing up.
"Jason get away from me. You know I hate spiders" she said backing way.
Winking Tommy said "Yeah Jase leave the poor girl alone".
He wrapped her arms around her. Then Kimberly figured out why. He was holding so she could run away from Jason.
"Tommy you stink" Kimberly said.
"Jason that spider is not a he it is an it and it better stay away from me or the pink ranger will fight back" Kimberly said again.
"The pink ranger who fights monsters but is scared of a tiny little spider" Jason said.
"Have you guys ever seen Lord of The Rings The return of the king? Or Harry Potter with Aragog both huge both creepy" Kimberly said.
"Ok Kimmie you win" said Jason.
He was walking when he pretended to trip and throw the spider at her. Kimberly screamed. Trini picked up the spider that had fallen on the floor
"Kimberly this is the fake spider that you put in Tommy's sleeping bag" she said.
The guys just laughed.
"What's wrong Kimberly scared of a little spider" asked Jason mocking Trini from earlier"
"It's not funny now I feel like something is crawling on me again. Tommy tickled the back of her neck.
She gasped thinking it was a bug and slapped the back of her neck hitting her self. Tommy and the others laughed.
"Tommy that wasn't funny" Kimberly said.
She went into her room and got a blanket. Then she game back and picked up her pillow off the floor and put everything on the couch.
"I'm not sleeping in that thing again" she said. Jason picked up the sleeping bag and threw it in the wash.
"There that should get rid of any other bugs" he said.
Everyone got into their sleeping bags and talked for a few more hours and fell asleep.
They were sound asleep when BANG, BANG, BANG. Someone was pounding at the door. Everyone woke up. Kimberly went to answer the door and it was her mom.
"I'm sorry I left baby I promise I will never leave you again. Plus your father stopped drinking and we stopped fighting and are getting back together" she said.
Then they hugged. Then her mom started getting harder to see, and feel. Kimberly woke up and sat up.
"No that was not a dream that was so real" she said to herself.
She jumped off the couch and ran to the door. She thought for sure she would see her mom but all she saw was the outside. Jason heard the door opening and started to wake up. Kimberly closed the door and quickly got back on the couch and pretended to be asleep it wasn't pretending for long because she fell back to sleep and had another dream about her mom. Jason woke up and looked around. He got up and made sure everything was ok. Then he heard "Mom, mom, mommy, mom" Kimberly said as she slept.
Jason stroked her hair. "It's going to be ok now baby sister I promise" he said.
He kissed her heard and went back to sleep. Kimberly woke up again. "Not again." She said to herself as she got up and went into the kitchen and made herself some hot chocolate.
Then she sat by the window and looked outside as she drank her drink. Tommy stirred but then woke up. He saw Kimberly in the kitchen. He walked over to her and sat down by her.
"You know you should really be sleeping" he said.
Kimberly looked at him and gave him a little smile.
"I could say the same to you" she said back.
"What's wrong Beautiful why are you awake" Tommy asked.
"If I sleep I dream about my mom and how happy we are together and my parents getting back together and being a big happy family. Then I wake up and I lose her all over again" Kimberly said.
"Tommy I can't do this anymore. I don't know how get over this. I know she is alive and I'm thankful but we were so close and now she is gone. I miss her Tommy and I can't seem to stop" Kimberly said as her eyes filled with tears.
"No one said you have to stop. It's ok to miss her" Tommy said as he stroked her hair.
"I know but I can't get the pain to go away" Kimberly said.
Then she started softly crying so she didn't wake the others. Tommy wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug. Then started rubbing little circles on her back. After a few minutes she calmed down.
"Tommy I have a favor to ask and it's ok if you want to say no but I need to ask it" Kimberly said.
"Then ask me" Tommy said.
Kimberly blushed and said "Can I sleep with you just for tonight"?
"Of course come on" Tommy said.
They put the mug in the sink and went back to the living room. Tommy and Kim got in the sleeping bag and closed it up. Kimberly slept in his arms. That next morning Jason was the first to wake up. He panicked at first when the couch was empty but then saw her in Tommy's arms. Trini, Zack, and Billy woke up also to see the happy couple. Tommy stirred then woke up. "Morning Sunshine" Jason said. Tommy put his fingers to his lips "Shhhhhh" he said. He got up and had everyone follow them into the kitchen. "She was up all night guys. Her mom being gone is really hard on her. I let her sleep with me because I knew it would make her feel better" Tommy said.
"Ok we won't bust you guys this time" Jason said.
They went into the living and cleaned up. Tommy moved Kimberly to the couch. Later on she woke up. They all hung out a little longer before everyone went home.
Once Kimberly got home she thought about asking her dad if over spring break or the next long weekend to come if she could go visit her mom in Paris.
"Daddy can I talk to you for a second" she asked as she walked into the living room. "Sure Kimmie cub what's on your mind" he asked?
Kimberly saw like 10 bottles of beer on the floor and at first was hesitant about it but she missed her mom so much.
"I was wondering if over spring break I could go visit mom in Paris. This is really hard on me and I really miss her and I'll see if maybe Jason or Trini or the others can come so I wouldn't be alone" she said.
Her father started yelling and cursing. He took off his belt and whipped it across her face and whipped it all over her body.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT IF YOU WERE NEVER BORN SHE WOULD STILL BE HERE YOU ARE THE WORST DAUGHTER EVER! YOU MOM SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN SHE HAD THE CHANGE DON'T EVER BRING YOUR MOM IN TO THIS AGAIN YOU ARE SO WEAK I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THE SAME BLOOD" Her father yelled at he slapped the belt all over her body.
When he stopped she ran into her room and cried. She grabbed the phone and was going to call Tommy and Jason when she stopped. "If I call and tell them that he did this, then they will call the police and take my dad away and I'll have no one. The rangers won't want to hang out with me because I'm weak so I would be alone I can't let that happen" Kimberly thought to herself. She couldn't tell her friends or anyone she just had to find away to hide the marks. She also knew this wasn't the end it was just the beginning.

"We are part of Tijuana's cultural community and we are opposed to the appointment of Virgilio Muñoz as the new director of CECUT (Cultural Center of Tijuana). We are opposed to his appointment because he doesn't meet the requirements needed to lead CECUT today.

Medical Reform with Purpose
(under construction)
Medicine for a profit is a violation of the Hippocratic oath. It is now estimated that over
45,000 American die each year from a lack of heath care. Since the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks, 360,000 Americans have died from lack of health care coverage.
are the terrorists?
There is perhaps no better place to see the effect that lobbyist have on policy debates than
in our current health care debate. The founding Fathers believed strongly in an individual's
right to
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Without Good Health an American
is without life, liberty or the ability to pursue happiness.
Despite spending more on health care than any other country in the world, the United
States rank 37
in the world in health care. How can a country that leads the world in
medical innovation and research have the poorest health care system in the Developed
World? As with many of our other current problems, the answer is Greed and addiction to
The American public played a primary role in funding the research that helped create many
of the great medical advances we have seen over the last 50 years. As business men and
corporation realized that there was the potential for huge profits in medical care,
Corporation slowly began to move in and take power away from Doctors and medical
professionals. As we watch the debates on TV, we can see that the situation has become
one now where Congress is asking "What is good for Corporate Interests, before What is
best for the health of the average American citizen."
It is absolutely clear in examine our whole economic crisis that the Hippocratic Oath is not
taught in American Business Schools. MBA are taught to operate their medical facilities
with no regard for people only profits. As MBAs took over the management of medical
care, doctors were pushed farer and farer to the periphery in the management of the health
care system. This needs to change if we are going to reform the health care system in the
United States.
I must admit that I have not read the entire proposal now being reviewed by Congress, but
if history serves us right, and I am sure that it will, the bill should more likely be called the
Insurance Company Protection Act
much like the Medicare Drug bill became the
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Protection Act.
Long complicated bills in Congress are
almost always filled with loopholes and protections crafted by Corporate lobbyists.
A key factor in restoring the economic health of the United States is health care reform.
Health Care costs for a typical American worker with a family to provide for is 5 times
more than the wages a worker from a 3
world country receives in an entire year. If we
want to be competitive, we need to substantial reduce medical costs!
My program seeks to lower health care cost by 50% within 10 years.
All Doctors spend at least 6 years training for their professions. MBA spend 2. Medical
Insurance, Hospital and management personnel should have there wages limited to the
average wage for a Physician in the area they are operating within. Why would you pay a
paper pusher more than the person who is actually practising the art of healing?
Require businesses with 20 or more employees to pay for all health insurance costs for
their employees. Set up a "public option for companies with less than 20 employees so that
all working Americans have health care coverage. Furthermore, require companies to offer
the same policy to all employees from management down to janitorial staff. The public
option is best managed by non-profit corporation on a state and regional level with
maximum impute from the medical profession on how to enact a policy that provides the
most comprehensive coverage for the average American citizen.
The Health Care bill passed in Massachusetts by the legislature is a perfect example of the
"Medical Mafia",
Profits before Patients
, hard at work. Companies are required to offer
coverage to their employees, but they can opt out for a mere $395/employee, less than 4%
of what a good health care policy costs for the average Massachusetts family.
Approximately half of all personnel bankruptcies in the United States are caused by
medical costs that are not covered by insurance companies. Business executives will think
twice about offering inadequate Insurance policies if they are required by law to have the
same policies for their own families that they offer to the individuals who do the real work
in a Corporation.
Pharmaceutical Industry Regulation
Americans pay more for their prescription medicines than anyone in the world. Taxpayers
played for the training of scientists, and funded the research that allowed the American
Pharmaceutical Industry to become the dominate world leader that it is today. Not unlike what
happened in the field of medicine, MBA realized their were huge profits to be made in the
distribution of drugs. Scientists not unlike Doctors were slowly pushed out of the
management positions of company and MBA's took over. Once again with the same result:
Profits Over Patients!
The scientists who developed the drugs train for 5 years on average as compared to an MBA's
2 years. Executives in the pharmaceutical industry should receive no more in pay than the
average scientist is being paid to do the real work.
Ban television advertising of prescription drugs.
In 1983 when Congress decided to remove the ban on the advertising of prescription
drugs, they made a monumental mistake. Pharmaceutical companies now spend twice as
much money on advertising as they do on research. The advertising of pharmaceutical
drugs directly to the public has led to more expensive medical care costs for several
Higher costs for drugs
Americans being conditioned to believe that drugs are the key ingredient for good health,
and a solution to any medical problems they might have.
Advertising is some case is designed to create anxiety in the people who watch it.
Creating the sense without this new wonderful miracle drug death in potentially
A good example of this are all the commercials for bladder control!
The sale of newer more expensive drugs when generic drug at less than 10% of the cost
are potentially just as effective.
The most important point here once again is that Doctors have the knowledge and
training to make decisions about medical care. Mis-information throguh advertising has
caused Americans to lose sight of what "Good Health is".
This constant exposure to drug commercials is also very bad for children who are just
starting to develop a sense of how to maintain good health. The introduction of TV
advertising also contributed to the growing use of pharmaceutical drugs for disease that
they were never adequately tested for. The typical American consumer does not have
enough training to distinguish between real medical science and pseudo-science when
they learn about medicines through TV advertising.
The United States needs a distinguished group of Doctors to review the literature and
explain to the public which drugs are most cost effective, and which diseases are better
treated through non-pharmaceutical needs. As I have repeated emphasized re-
empowering the Doctors is an important step in taking control of our health care crisis.
Banning television advertisements of pharmaceutical drugs in an important first step in
the right direction.
Rewrite the Medicare Drug Act
The Medicare drug act which was passed in 2003 with the support of both Republicans
and Democrats has provided much needed access to pharmaceutical drugs for senior
citizens. It was an important step in providing quality care for the elderly. The bill
unfortunately was largely crafted to provide large profits to pharmaceutical companies.
3 simple steps can be taken to greatly reduce the over-all cost of this program, and

The pharmaceutical drugs for this program should be purchased in bulk at greatly
reduced rates! Americans should not pay higher prices for drugs than Canadians.
Taxpayers built the foundation for the development of these drugs, and should benefit
Potential Savings-
After careful review when possible Generic drugs should be used for this programs
whenever it is possible.
Finally, there needs to be patent reform. Recently, pharmaceutical companies have been
given patents for only slight changes in the structure of a drug. Prilosec and Nexius are
the most expensive example of this development. In essence big pharma has been
allowed to the Japanese manufacturing strategy of designed obsolesce there by extending
patents and substantial increasing overall costs for consumers.
Preventive Medicine
President Obama is correct in stating that health care reform is a key component of our
economic recovery. The best way to treat to fight disease is to prevent it in the first
place. To date in the United States, preventive medicine focuses on technological
innovations like mammography, colonoscopy, angioplasty, MRI and CAT Scans. Due to
the high cost of having new medical procedures approved, most of these preventive
techniques and technologies come with very large prices tags for consumers.
Since the publication of his landmark book in 1975,
The Relaxation Response
, Dr.
Herbert Benson, Director of the Mind Body Institute at Beth Israel-Deaconess Hospital
has led a revolution in the field of preventive medicine. Dr. Benson and his associates
have repeatedly shown that palliative care- nutrition, exercise and meditation can treat
and prevent disease saving potentially thousands of dollars in health care costs.
Dr. Benson contents that for individuals to obtain and maintain optimal health they need
a health care system with 3 basic components- Primary Care, Pharmaceutical Medicines,
and Prevention. Individual health care can be thoughts of as a three legged stool
supported by these 3 basic medical systems. Our current system is in a state of collapse
because it is only standing on 2 legs as preventive care- nutrition, exercise and meditation
have been ignored largely because they provide little of no profit for the "Medical Mafia"
who believe, as I have previously stated in, "Profits before Patients".
The American Preventive Medicine Act
The goal of this program is to design a national preventive medicine program based on
nutrition, exercise and meditation. The impletation of this program would be through
Regional Directors and finally state control. Each program will be closely monitored to
learn which programs are most effective at reducing health care costs.
At night our school building frequently sit empty with the lights out. We can use our
current infrastructure and institute this program at each individual school, giving low cost
access to this program to all Americans regardless of their income level.
Some of the potential components of this program, the potential heath care costs saving
are provide here.

And now for something (almost) completely different for Everyone's A Critic- our very first, end of the year top ten list! This little gem was compiled by one of our frightfully fang-tastic featured reviewers from this past year, the monstrously maniacal Mister Matt Molgaard! The floor is all yours, so take it away, Matt...
You could place 1000 obsessive horror hounds in one giant room, ask what the scariest film of all time is, and get 1001 different answers… at least. It's an age-old debate that in all honesty cannot be answered, as viewers rate films based on different criteria. What is scary to one person may be slapstick to another. So while I may personally prefer psychological horror, you may prefer a wealth of carnage and stomach churning gore. Whose criteria is the stronger foundation to judge what is, and what isn't, scary?
Can we honestly pinpoint the scariest film of all time? »

The Vault of Horror blog recently posted The "Cyber-Horror Elite's" Top 50 Horror Films of All Time. This list was generated from the Top 10 lists of "32 cyber-horror notables," as detailed Here.
This was created (as stated in the above blog post) in retaliation against HMV's "highly flawed" survey of the top 50 horror movies of all time, culled from HMV's annual survey of more than 6,000 customers, and conducted on HMV.com over a four-week period between September 19 and October 20, 2008 (source: Here ).
This blogger does nothing to explain why he feels HMV's poll is "highly flawed," so I'm assuming it's simply because he didn't like the list, which is hardly the same thing. If there's a more scientific reason why it's "highly flawed," it wasn't addressed in the above blog post.
In his initial response to HMV's list he states, "... you have Saw in the top 5, which, even as a supporter of that movie, »

Remember way back before TiVO, when most of us didn't even know that individual TV episodes had titles much less what those titles were? Sometimes I miss those days. Particularly with an episode like this week's B&S, where the title has me hating it even before I've seen a single scene. Magic? Really, B&S people? Really?
We open on wet, naked flesh of the female variety. Sigh. I also remember the days when the ones traipsing around half naked were Kevin's boyfriends, which is pretty much what got me hooked back in season one. Now, of course, it's always Rebecca, because this show seems utterly determined to center most episodes around the exuberant sex life she and Justin are enmeshed in, as if that will make us forget they once thought they were siblings. And let me tell you, ABC, I will never forget that. »

You can never get too much Hitchcock, especially in October. Celebrating the spookiest month of the year wouldn't be complete without taking a look at some of the Master of Suspense's best works, and with Universal re-releasing a whole bunch of them on DVD as part of their ever-expanding Legacy Series most of these films have never looked or sounded better. Recently I was given three of the Hitch's best -- 1954's Rear Window, 1958's Vertigo and 1960's Psycho -- to take another look and it's doubtful fans will be disappointed. While the transfers themselves are no different than the ones found on the Special Editions released just a few years ago, the sound quality (on one) and the special features (on all three) have been decidedly improved. Let's take a bit closer look at each title separately: Rear Window Easily one of Hitchcock's most enduring (and most popular) titles, »

BellMojo Productions proudly presents Joe R. Lansdale's By Bizarre Hands Live!! That's right; the World Premiere of Joe's one-act play, By Bizarre Hands, is coming to the New York stage, and Joe will be in town for both performances. Joe has been called "an immense talent" by Booklist; "a born storyteller" by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho; and The New York Times Book Review declares he has "a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." He's won umpty-ump awards, including seven Bram Stoker horror awards, the Edgar, the Grinzani Prize and 2 New York Times Notable Book awards. In 2004, genre movie legend Bruce Campbell portrayed the invalid Elvis Presley opposite equally legendary character actor Ossie Davis as JFK in Don Coscarelli's adaption of Joe's short-story Bubba Hotep.

Veteran actor Tony Curtis has confessed he married Psycho star Janet Leigh to boost his Hollywood career.
The legendary lothario, 83, has bedded a string of beauties and wed six times. He married first wife Leigh in 1951, and they had a daughter together, actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
But he admits the publicity surrounding their relationship was one of the main reasons for the marriage.
Curtis says, "I even married Janet for my career. I could see the two of us could get more attention together. We had the paparazzi wherever we went, we were on the cover of all the movie magazines. It wasn't enough for a man to be cute, he had to be connected to the right woman."
Asked if he regrets the nuptials, Curtis adds: "No, no, no, not at all. I loved it. What better way to get famous?" »

Ask fans to name their favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie, and they'll likely split among "North by Northwest," "Psycho," "Notorious," "Rear Window" and "Strangers on a Train," among others.
But the one that's held me spellbound for the past 50 years - the first Hitchcock I ever saw in a theater, thanks to my Aunt Rose - is his masterpiece "Vertigo." The film opens with a rooftop chase in San Francisco that ends with a detective hanging on a ledge. A cop »

Often it's hard to see why older films like 1960.s Psycho made such an impact, especially when they come from such an overdone genre as the slasher flick. Psycho has been liberally stolen from over the years, and it'd be easy for it to lose its impact compared to the more graphic films that have come since 1960.
Happily, such is not the case. I won't say that Psycho hits the viewer the way that it did when it first was released, because society has changed too much; what was once intensely shocking now can be shown on broadcast TV at three in the afternoon. Nonetheless, Psycho remains a pretty intense and powerful little film. Although it doesn't work the same way it did in 1960, that doesn't mean that it's devoid of impact.
Actually, the film continues to pack a nice little punch. While it doesn't seem shocking, it remains creepy »

Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo If you haven't yet checked out my Movie Magic article from Monday it was inspired by the audio commentary from Psycho and I have yet to check out the special features for either Rear Window or Vertigo, but I did get a chance to watch Vertigo just last night. While Psycho is great and Rear Window may be my favorite Hitchcock film I have no idea what people see in Vertigo. That film is long and for the most part downright boring. I don't think the con pulled on Scottie is all that intriguing and the hokey dialogue is just too much to bear. The AFI recently named Vertigo the ninth best American movie ever made, with Psycho at 14 and Rear Window at 48. Maybe I am in the minority, but Vertigo »

The Psycho toilet... You scared yet?
Photo: Universal Home Video This last weekend saw the release of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and it came in third at the box-office so I am assuming some of you saw it and for those that didn't there is a scene where Norah's drunk friend, Caroline (Ari Graynor), is seen in a public restroom where she first vomits and then accidentally drops her cell phone and chewing gum in the very same toilet she just vacated her stomach. The toilet looks like it hasn't been flushed or cleaned in about ten years but is still regularly used. Caroline proceeds to fish out not only her cell phone, but the gum as well. The gum is then passed on from character to character throughout the film. Obviously, the Nick and Norah example was an attempt at drastic gross-out/potty humor. Sh!t, vomit, farts »

This month, we honor the birth of Alfred Hitchcock and the 50th anniversary of Vertigo, one of his masterpieces. Hitchcock found actual filming a bore, but loved pre-production and transferring images from his mind to paper. Dozens of memorable visuals come to mind -- Psycho: water swirling down drain, stabbings. »

Now this is cool! A reader sent the Video Watch Dog blog a link to a screen-by-screen comparison of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho to the German television broadcast of Psycho and discovered that it featured several frames of never-before-seen footage! This is the pre-us edit that no one knew existed! Click Here to see the extra shots (which include Janet Leigh near-nudity, bloodier hands on Anthony Perkins and a slightly longer murder of Martin Balsam's character Arbogast), or click any of the teaser images below! Will Universal wise up and search for this alternate version to their long lost classic? Doubtful, but we can hope!

Today we were pointed over to a website, which has some very interesting news regarding Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Video Watchblog writes, "In today's mailbox, an interesting letter from reader Simon Coombs of London, England, alerting me to the fact that a pre-us-censor cut of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho has been shown on the German television station Rtl. Simon included this link to a German video site where Universal's most recent DVD issue of Psycho was reviewed in tandem with a list of scenes missing from this current version, illustrated with grabs from the Rtl broadcast. Hopefully the right people at Universal can be made aware of this missing footage and ensure that it is restored to their reportedly forthcoming two-disc remastered edition, which only then could be called a true "director's cut."" »

Universal has announced a new special edition of Alfred Hitchcock's landmark classic film Psycho for release on October 7th, 2008. Funny... looking over the features for this "Legacy" series DVD, it doesn't look like there's much more then what was on the original release of Psycho. (Psycho? Legacy? Wonder where they came up with that?) Features and artwork are listed below. Sadly, there's still no love for the Psycho sequels from Universal. Hmmm... thankfully, Icons is producing a documentary on the Psycho series, primarily about the sequels. So those films will get their due! (Rest assured!)
Title: Psycho
Starring: Anthony Perkins
Released: 7th October 2008
Srp: $26.98
Further Details:
Universal Home Video has announced a 2-disc special edition of Psycho which stars Anthony Perkins, and Janet Leigh. The set will be available to own from the 7th October, and should retail at $26.98. The film itself will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, »

I'm a pretty big fan of documentaries as not only do they bring back some incredible memories, but they provide new information for the die hard fan or people looking to learn more about the topic at hand. For the past year, Robert Galluzzo - who runs horror website Icons Of Fright - has been producing an extensive documentary on the Psycho franchise titled The Psycho Legacy. Today the site hosts 12 minutes of footage, which covers all four Psycho films and features Psycho alumni Hilton Green, Tom Holland, Andrew London, Jeff Fahey, Lee Garlington, Katt Shea, Donovan Scott, Kurt Paul, as well as filmmakers Adam Green, Dave Parker, Joe Lynch and many, many more. Read on to watch it or click the link below. Watch for more as it comes in. »

Figurative Language Objective :1 Teacher will define figurative language. Objective : 2 Students will be able to identify figurative language throughout Robert Frost's poem entitled "The Road not Taken." Objective:3 Students will define vocabulary as relate to figurative
Figurative Language Definitions Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter in the alphabet (as in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers.") or a combination of letters (as in "She sells seashells by the seashore."). It's just about the easiest form of repetition a poet can use. Metaphor A metaphor compares two unlike things. "My baby sister's a doll," you might say, compares your sister's size and sweetness to that of the perfection of a doll. At another time you might say, "My brother is a rat." This compares your brother to the nastiest little creature you can think of. In both cases you would be making a metaphor - a form of comparison that directly compares two unlike things. A metaphor wastes no time in getting to the point. Simile If you said, "My sister is like a doll," or maybe, "My brother's good as gold," you would be making a simile - a form of comparison in which one thing is compared to another unlike thing by using specific words of comparison like like, as, and resembles. Poets try to find unusual metaphors and similes. Onomatopoeia In its simplest form, onomatopoeia is produced by a single word that sounds like the thing it refers to: "Six burgers were sizzling on the grill." "A snake slithered through the grass." Personification One of the most familiar kinds of comparison is personification---that is, speaking of something that is not human as if it had human abilities and human reactions. Hyperbole A great exaggeration used to emphasize a point, and is used for expressive or comic effect. A hyperbole is not to be taken literally. Example: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." We know that eating an apple every day will not keep you from ever getting sick and having to go to the doctor. Idiom Idioms are groups of words whose meaning is different from the ordinary meaning of the words. The context can help you understand what an idiom means. For example: "Put a lid on it." Our teacher tells us to put a lid on it. She's not really telling us to put a lid on something but to be quiet and pay attention.
Examples of Figurative Language The wind whispers in my ear. (personification) Your head is as big as a ten gallon tank. (hyperbole) The mosquito buzzed around in the living room.(Onomatopoeia) My love is like a red rose. (Simile) My love is a red rose. (Metaphor) The snow covered mountain embraced her like a blanket. (Imagery)
The students will use the examples as a guiding tool to come up with their own examples. Think first individually and then pair-share in relations to the words. Whole group discussion in reference to the words.
Each student must memorize the poem. The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost :
Basic questions: 1. What is the title of the poem? 2. Who is the author? 3. Who is the main character? 4. Where is the setting? 5. What is the tone? Critical Thinking Question 1. Using examples from the poem, list the lines that are suggestive of life choices. 2. Using several lines that suggest imagery, discuss the symbolism as relate to life choices. 3. Is the speaker satisfied with the decision of the road not taken? 4. After reading the poem, which road would you have taken?
http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=40435&title =The_Road_Not_Taken___Robert_Frost
Students are to write a 30 minute summary in relations to the poem.

Hill & Mountain Farming Project
Take our Helderberg Hilltowns farming survey below!
The Hill & Mountain Farming Project is an initiative based in the Hilltown communities of the northern Catskill Mountains. We bring together farmers, food system advocates and resource conservation stakeholders with experts and practitioners from around the world to build a sustainable farming economy in the region.
Approximately three million of farmland acres in New York State has been left idle or abandoned due to poor drainage, steep slope and changing economic conditions. This describes much of the land in communities in the northern Catskills. Historically an agricultural landscape, these challenges have rendered many of the region's farms unviable. The perceived disadvantages of hill and mountain farming perpetuate a viscous cycle; labeling land as "marginal" discourages investment in resources, knowledge and policies to support sustainable agriculture.
The Hill & Mountain Farming Project will: redefine and assess these resources; expand the knowledge of hill and mountain farming systems; and support market development for the products and services created by these farms.
Helderberg Hilltowns Farming Survey
Farmers and farm producers across the Helderberg Hilltowns are encouraged to participate in a farming survey conducted by the Hill and Mountain Farming Project at the Carey Institute. The purpose of the survey is to gather information about our agricultural community, and raise awareness about the project.
The survey will help determine who is farming in the Hilltowns, what people are producing, and the biggest challenges they face in operating their farms. The data collected will help focus the efforts of the Hill & Mountain Farming Project on areas of interest and need. The information will also aid new farmers in making decisions about their operation.
