The Sundance Film Festival might seek financial aid from the state to keep the festival growing during an economic downturn.
Festival officials say it's been harder to secure corporate sponsorships this year than in the past.
Sundance officials have met with the Governor's Office of Economic Development to explore the possibility of receiving state aid.
But Jason Perry, executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, says the economic downturn is making it difficult for anyone to get aid because there is more competition.
Sundance had asked for $1.5 million in funding from the state Legislature last year, but its efforts weren't successful.
The 2009 festival runs from Jan. 15 to Jan. 25.

Dumera Alman was an Aes Sedai of unknown Ajah, who lived after the Breaking of the World and at the time of the founding of the White Tower.
Circa 47 AB, Dumera was one of more than twelve women who sat for her ajah (note the lowercase), in discussion of building a new city as a center of Aes Sedai power.
By 98 AB, Dumera is recorded as one of seven women who closely advise the first Amyrlin Seat, Elisane Tishar. This means probably that she also was the founder of one of the seven Ajah and one of the first Sitters.

If you have joined us here it means that you are interested in knowing about the latest happenings in Bollywood. So without a delay we will start off with today's report right from the lives of your favourite celebrities.
- Amitabh Bachchan repeats his famous egg act from his film, Amar Akbar Antony in the title track of Bol Bachchan. In the 1977 film, Big B is seen stepping out of an egg wearing a tuxedo. 35 years later he is repeating the act for Bol Bachchan. This time he is seen wearing a black bandhgala but is looking as charming just as he did back in 1977. The other difference is that the ladies dancing with him are much bolder than the ones who performed with him in 1977.
- Rowdy Rathode proves to be a bigger opener than this year's other blockbuster, Agneepath. It has managed to collect a huge amount of 48.5 crore already. This is Akshay's first solo hit since the 2008 hit, Singh Is Kingg. Akshay has tweeted a big thanks to his fans. The film has him back in his action hero avatar.
- Vidya Balan and Farhan Akhtar will be working with each other in the sequel of Pyaar Ke Side Effects. The film will be called Shaadi Ke Side Effects and will be directed by Saket Choudhary. The film will continue where PKSE had ended. Farhan says that the script of this film is moving but funny at the same time. Producer Pritish Nandy says that the cast is intelligent just like the film.
- Rumours are that Ajay Devgn had a fling with Kangana Ranaut in 2010. The actors have acted together in films like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Rascals and Tezz. The report states that the actors started their secret affair during the shooting of Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. Apparently Kajol, Ajay's star wife had threatened to leave with their kids. However the couple seemed to be at much ease at Karan Johar's birthday party.
- Actress Vidya Balan says that she is nervous about doing a comedy. The actress will start shooting for her first comedy flick, Ghanchakkar from August. Though she refuses to reveal anything about her character she says that she is very excited about the film. The film is about Emran Hashmi getting conned by two conmen.
- Dibabkar Banerjee says that women are better at work than men. He says that maximum members of his crew are female. According to him they possess superior communication skills than men. They are also better at synchronizing things. Dibakar admits that his producer, his editor, his co-writer and his production designer are the four women responsible for his success.
- Shahid Kapoor and Prianka Chopra were spotted taking a ride in the former's Jaguar. The actors had a short but much hyped about affair in the past. Now they are doing a film with each other again. Both of them had visited a radio station for a promotional activity. Shahid reportedly asked Piggy Chops to ride along to their next promotional event.
- Sharman Joshi is extremely busy promoting his next film, Ferrari Ki Sawaari. The hard work seems to have affected his health adversely. The actor fainted in his car after coming to the end of a rather taxing promotional journey from Mumbai to Surat and Ahmedabad. The actor is fine after taking some much required rest. He is the solo lead of the film and is expected to be present at all the promotional events.
- Mansi Aggarwal says that Dibakar Banerjee wanted the picturisation of Bharat Mata Ki Jai to be violent and spontaneous. The song features Emraan Hashmi and Pitobash and talks about the corruption prevalent in the country. The talented choreographer has worked in films like Gulaal, Shanghai, Rock The Shaadi and Dev D. She says that Pitobash is a natural performer and Emraan the quintessential star.
- Aditya Roy Kapoor has signed the sequel of the 1990 hit film, Aashiqui. Mohit Suri, the director of the film wanted to sign a fresh face for the flick. Aditya had impressed him at the auditions held. Rumours are that there will be two lead couples in the film. Earlier the actor had acted in films like Guzaarish and Action Replayy.
- Emraan Hashmi says that he deliberately stays away from stardom. He says that it takes a lot of self control to maintain oneself despite the adulation and criticism one receives. The acor says that he knows that he is not a star when the cameras are not rolling. The actor has already deliverd a hit in Jannat 2 and is expecting his next film, Shanghai to do well too.
We hope that we have been able to keep our word. We will surely be back for some more entertaining information from the glittering world of the stars.

Spending the Day on the Lake, In a Pirate Ship?
With shows like "Pimp My Ride" having a very successful history on TV, it seems that Minnesota lakes are producing television quality pontoons.
What? Yep, these floating party boats are now becoming the latest method of transportation to become customizable, and one Coon Rapids man has taken the title for "Coolest Pontoon".
Robert McCluskey takes his fully customized pirate ship inspired pontoon out on Coon Lake and it is quite a hit with the locals.
"The dang thing takes so much maintenance and money to operate," said McCluskey, the commodore of the ship. "Once you get started on something like this, you can't quit." McCluskey tells the Star Tribune.
Take a look at the ship in action:

What is in this article?:
- Dow CEO: US Has 'Historic Chance' to Drive Manufacturing Renaissance
- No Apology Needed for Industrial Policy
After being dismissed as headed for an "inevitable and irreversible" death, American manufacturing is rebounding but this upswing is "fragile and its outcome is still quite uncertain," Andrew Liveris, the CEO of Dow Chemical Co. (IW 500/22), told a manufacturing conference today in North Carolina.
U.S. manufacturing has created more than 500,000 jobs since 2010, Liveris told the @Manufacturing Works forum sponsored by NC State University's Institute for Emerging Issues. In North Carolina, high-tech manufacturing in fields such as medicine, biotechnology and aerospace has been growing. Over the last year, U.S. manufacturers have announced more than 100 new investments nationally totaling more than $96 billion.
But along with these "encouraging signs," Liveris told the conference, there are also several factors that are creating a drag on manufacturing growth. He cited uncertainty, "the constant enemy of business and investment," caused by a gridlocked Washington, a debt-burdened Europe and a still-to-be-defined China. He noted that manufacturing employment has leveled off. In North Carolina, the state lost 115,000 jobs but has gained only 11,000 since the recession.
The manufacturing sector is reaching an inflection point, Liveris said, where this renaissance can "usher in a new era of American prosperity or we can let the resurgence taper off, job growth flatline and the sector fall prey to a policy vacuum where our policy is not to have one."
Liveris lauded the "transformative" power of manufacturing. He said it could power the U.S. from an "economy in recovery to an economy renewed and leading the world." He cited a report by the Boston Consulting Group that the nation could create 5 million manufacturing jobs by 2020. And he noted, those jobs could result in the creation of an additional three to five jobs each in the supply chain. He also pointed to manufacturing's strength in exporting and in the growth of productivity.
"When natural gas is not exported or burned for energy but instead used as an ingredient in manufacturing processes, it creates eight times more value across the economy and five times the number of jobs in the supply chain," Liveris said.
Liveris emphasized he was not describing the manufacturing of smokestacks and assembly lines of a bygone era but rather advanced manufacturing that lives at the "intersection of all the sciences" and provides "highly qualified, highly skilled, highly paid jobs" involved in creating groundbreaking products and meeting some of the world's greatest challenges.

The West Australian government called for expressions of interest to develop a four-hectare site that acts as the eastern gateway to the city of Perth. The planned development of 400 dwellings and 11,400 square metres of retail and commercial space is the first major Perth riverside development since the eastern part of the city was upgraded from an industrial wasteland to one of the city's premier locations in the 1990s. The successful bidder is expected to be appointed around mid next year. The WA government is engaged in a broader policy of urban infill and new land releases aimed at alleviating housing pressures.

Melbourne property agency Gorman Commercial has expanded its management portfolio with the purchase of the commercial portfolio of real estate group Woodards. The acquisition will increase Gorman's properties under management by about one third. Most of Woodards's commercial portfolio was in Melbourne's east. Ben Hurley
Trade shortages in the building industry eased marginally in the June quarter, according to the Housing Industry Association-Austral Bricks Trades Report, but the survey continued to show an undersupply and a consequent increase in trade prices, up 3.2 per cent compared with a year ago.

Hembase is a red blood cell gene transcription database originally developed in 2003. It provides worldwide access to genetic-based studies performed by scientists in the Molecular Biology and Genetics Section, Genetics of Development and Disease Branch.
Red blood cells have the fundamental role of delivering oxygen from the lungs to the other body tissues, and diseases associated with erythroid cells affect millions of people. We hope this data will be useful for the understanding and improved treatment or prevention of those diseases including all forms of anemia, erythroleukemia, and malaria.
The production of red blood cells occurs by a process called erythropoiesis whereby erythroid progenitor cells, which arise from hematopoietic stem cells, proliferate and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells (see image below). Normally, this process is highly dependent upon and regulated by a hormone produced by the kidneys called erythropoietin.
Our laboratory investigates genes transcribed in human erythroid cells as they differentiate into mature red blood cells. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome.
Additional information on Hembase can be found in the following publication:
Goh SH, Lee YT, Bouffard GG, Miller JL. Hembase: browser and genome portal for hematology and erythroid biology. Nucleic Acids Res. 2004 Jan 1; 32 (32; 2004 Jan 1; Database issue):D572-4.

Odd Photoshopping

from Burlington, VT
Purchase Reason
I love Tremblant and I thought this would make a great addition to my dorm wall. However the way the photo is put together, the real photograph that is used in the background is low resolution and stand out oddly when next to the vibrant, almost cartoonish colors of the village put next to it. I'd try to find another photo if you want a memory of it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
