DOUBLE Olympic bronze medallist Tina Cook hopes the wet British summer will not play havoc with riders in today's crucial cross-country test.
Cook and her Great Britain eventing team-mates, who in-clude Sturminster Newton's William Fox-Pitt, hold third place in the team competition after dressage.
The British quintet are 7.9 penalties behind leaders and gold medal favourites Germany and 4.9 adrift of Australia, with Sweden and New Zealand tied for fourth.
Germany-based Japanese rider Yoshiaki Oiwa is the shock overnight individual leader on a score of 38.10. Italian Stefano Brecciaroli is second and 56-year-old New Zealander Mark Todd, who is chasing his third Olympic title, lies one place behind.
Mary King and Imperial Cavalier remain the highest-placed British combination in 12th. Cook and Miners Frolic are 14th, Fox-Pitt (Lionheart) equal 17th, Phillips (High Kingdom) equal 24th and Nicola Wilson (Opposition Buzz) equal 39th.
Cook was faced with torrential rain, thunder and a threat of lightning during her dressage test in the main arena at Green-wich Park yesterday.
However, she coped superbly with the elements, though, as her score of 42 penalties kept Britain firmly in the mix for medals.
Attention now turns to course designer Sue Benson's 28-obstacle cross-country track through the hilly and twisting terrain of Greenwich Park.
Cook said: "I have been eventing for 20-odd years and you do get this type of weather thrown at you.
"Unfortunately, we can't stop the competition and say 'I don't want to do it now'.
"At the Olympic Games, you hope you are not going to have rain, thunder and lightning thrown at you, but I did and I had to deal with it. We live up on the South Downs in Sussex getting blown away.
"We just hope it doesn't rain too much today because it will be very slippery around those corners on the cross-country course."
Cook arguably produced one of the day's most accomplished tests, given what was thrown at her.
The rain held off for Fox-Pitt to complete the British dressage rounds, with Lionheart's strong cross-country and showjumping sections now to come.
World number one Fox-Pitt said: "He's 10-years-old and this is his first big championship. I am absolutely thrilled with him.
"He's hopefully going to come into his own in the next few days and that is why he's here. "He was never selected on the dressage phase, and he's produced a personal best score (44.10)."

Leadership Lessons from US Treasury Asst. Sec. for Financial Stability Timothy Massad
October 13, 2011
"The key is to gain valuable experience by doing something that's important to you."
This is the advice to business school students given by Timothy G. Massad, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's assistant secretary for financial stability.
Confirmed June 30, 2011, by the United States Senate, Massad is responsible for overseeing the implementation and wind down of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The program essentially has allowed the U.S. government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen the financial sector. Massad will be speaking at The Fuqua School of Business on Monday, October 3rd. He took some time to share some of his thoughts on leadership and the challenges he faces as a government official in the following Fuqua Q and A:
What are you most proud of in your career?
I'm most proud of having the opportunity to serve my country by working at the Department of the Treasury during these very difficult economic times.
What is the greatest challenge you face as a government leader today?
Our greatest challenge as a government is to bring people together and take the actions necessary to address both our short term need to promote economic growth and our long-term need to put our government's finances on a sustainable path.
What has been the greatest challenge you have faced in implementing TARP?
One of our greatest challenges has been to make sure the American people understand why TARP was needed and what actions we took. TARP was necessary and effective at helping to stabilize the financial system, but understandably unpopular - no one likes having to use taxpayer dollars to prevent a collapse of our financial system. Therefore, it is important to discuss the financial crisis we faced in 2008 and the lessons we learned in addressing that crisis.
What advice would you give a business school student who aspires to work in finance / banking, be it the private or public sector?
Focus on finding work that you are passionate about, with people you can learn the most from, and in situations that can broaden your skills and your understanding of the world. International experience is especially important in our global economy. While it is important to earn enough to pay your expenses and repay debts, don't focus on salary in the early years of your career. The key is to gain valuable experience by doing something that's important to you.

Rob Lowman LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
Published Thursday February 21, 2013 at 6:00 am
Ben Affleck's film "Argo" is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.
It may not be my pick for the best-picture Oscar, but it deserves all the accolades it has received. If you haven't seen it and are interested in the Academy Awards, you should watch it. Or watch it if you're just looking for a really good film.
Special features on the DVD/Blu-ray combo include "Picture in Picture: Eye Witness Account," commentary by Affleck, and the featurettes "Rescued from Tehran: We Were There," "Absolute Authenticity" and "The CIA & Hollywood Connection — Escape From Iran: The Hollywood Option."
•Season Two of the HBO series "Game of Thrones" delves deeper into author George R.R. Martin's fantasy world. It's based on the second book in his "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, "A Clash of Kings."
The show is addictive, even if you aren't a fantasy fan. There is intrigue, sex, magic, dragons, barbarism and even some tenderness. But while there are some clear villains, it's also hard to know whom to root for because everybody seems to have a dark and light side. And there is another reason: Characters — even ones you like and expect to continue on — are often suddenly killed off.
So far Martin has written five books and has promised two more. One book is already slated to be divided up into two seasons. So this may take a while to resolve. The story already has gotten so entwined that when "Throne" returns for a third season on March 31, the episodes will be five or six minutes longer because the plots are so complicated.
For fans of season two, there are plenty of extras to immerse yourself in.
Besides the original 10 episodes, the five-disc set includes these extras:
•"War of the Five Kings" — an interactive guide that follows the movements of various armies detailing their victories and defeats.
•"Histories & Lore" — 19 animated histories detailing the mythology of the fantasy world.
•"In-Episode Guide" — background information about on-screen characters, locations and relevant histories.
•"Hidden Dragon Eggs" — uncovering even more never-before-seen content.
•"Creating the Battle of Blackwater Bay" — a 30-minute feature showcasing never-before-seen interviews with cast and crew.
•"Game of Thrones: Inner Circle" — stars Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Michelle Fairley and Liam Cunningham talk about their experiences shooting season two.
•"The Religions of Westeros" — Martin and series executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss discuss the competing religions in the series.
•"Character Profiles" — profiles of seven major characters as described by the actors portraying them.
•"Audio Commentaries" — 12 of them altogether, including from Martin, Clarke and Peter Dinklage.

|Home > War on Iraq > Article
|Friday March 28, 2003
Within hours of the signal from the Prime Minister, John Howard, Australian C-130 Hercules transport planes - packed with weapons and communications and medical gear - took off for the long flight to western Iraq to drop SAS troops and supplies behind enemy lines.
The advance deployment of Australian troops from January meant all three arms of the military were ready for action the moment the Government committed the nation to war. Two thousand Australians would be serving alongside about 290,000 American and British soldiers. But it was the SAS troops, some of whom had just returned from Afghanistan, who experienced the bloodiest first days of conflict.
On the first day alone they killed scores of soldiers from what Australia's Middle East commander, Brigadier Maurie McNarn, described as the hardcore of the Iraqi military - the internal security service, the Iraqi special forces and intelligence service. They also destroyed missile sites, which could have been used to attack Israel, and command and control centres with shoulder-launched missiles or by calling in air strikes. No Australians were killed, then or to date.
The other Australian services have also been active. In the Persian Gulf, the frigate HMAS Anzac was called in on the first night to provide artillery support for British Royal Marines storming the Al Faw peninsula in southern Iraq.
As the ship's guns pounded the shore more than 10 kilometres away, Australian troops in rigid-hulled dinghies patrolled the Iraqi coastline. One boat found a rusty Iraqi tug loaded with sea mines in the port of Umm Qasr, which navy divers are now making safe so aid shipments can be brought in.
Australia's F/A-18 Hornets began escorting refuelling and radar planes, but their role was quickly expanded to include bombing missions on Iraqi barracks, tanks and troop positions, and missile attacks.
Australia's three Hercules transport planes have been shifting cargo, more than a million tonnes so far, and PC-3 Orion surveillance planes have been running reconnaissance missions in the Gulf, providing the intelligence that has led to the detection of hostile ships.
While Australian forces have played an active combat role so far, they are unlikely to remain in the frontline as southern Iraq is secured and the battle for Baghdad draws closer. Ships in the Gulf will revert to patrol duties as aid arrives and the risk of hitting civilians may put an end to the Hornets' strikes on Baghdad.
SAS troops may come close to the Iraqi capital but they will not engage in urban warfare. Hand-to-hand fighting in the streets, potentially the most hazardous risk for the coalition, will be left to American and British forces.
However, commandos from Sydney's 4RAR battalion, yet to participate, may be called upon to save downed pilots or coalition soldiers trapped in Baghdad. And any chemical or biological attack will bring out the Incident Response Regiment to help in decontamination and medical aid.

This just in – Jon Stewart wins Oscar as best comic actor!
Nah, not true; just some fake news about a fake newsman.
What is true is that the host of Comedy Central's acclaimed "The Daily Show" will be spending his Sunday night trying to burnish the Oscar broadcast with those broadsides he's brought to the public arena.
Bring it on, Jonny boy! Whoever said the age of irony was over after Sept. 11 was selling Stewart short.
Well, he is 5 foot 7. But in Hollywood terms, he's at the height of his career – collecting awards with such ease it's as if they were quarters falling out of Uncle Jake's pockets after he drank too much Manischewitz at the family seder.
Just try playing four questions with the former Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; it turns into 21.
As he prepares to fill the shoes of former famous Oscar broadcast hosts – well, maybe in David Letterman's case, sneakers – everyone's favorite Jewish imp improvises once more. The Jewish leprechaun who specializes in all the news that's fit to prick is going reel.
Sure, taking over hosting chores is important – that's one big matzah ball hanging out if he doesn't do well – but the Lawrenceville, N.J., native son knows from pressure. Hey, he is want to tell you, as the only Jewish kid in a town where his surname was declaimed and spat out with surliness by bullies who badgered him trying to tarnish his Star of David … now that's pressure.
But, then again, he said of being harassed by Jew-haters, maybe it was because he was so short.
The author of America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy in Action and the one man who acted on bow-tie fans' fantasies everywhere by twisting Tucker Carlson's into a knot, Stewart and his stewardship of the Academy Awards ship is much anticipated.
He may be host of the Oscars, but movie mania doesn't manifest itself much in the Stewart house, which includes his wife and two kids – the latest member born just weeks before he delivers the Oscars.
"It's a big night," he says, "and anyone who's seen my career knows I should not be here."
A Life of Goals
Is the star of "Half Baked" – Mr. Hot Potato himself – talking Oscar-night? Kick that one to the side for now; he's talking … soccer?
Indeed, here is Stewart being named honorary All-American at the National Soccer Coaches Association of America convention, meeting in Center City, where scores of soccer stars talk about goals past and future.
For someone known for putting his foot in not his but others' mouths, Stewart would seem an oddball choice. But, no; he played for William and Mary College's team from 1981 to 1983, and kicked the solitary goal in the school's championship ECAC title game against Connecticut in his last year.
Soccer as succor in a sucky world?
"I was the George Bush of the soccer world," he says, intending that not as a compliment, but as a self-dig for not being able to find the weapons of mass destruction that he needed to turn pro.
"I am honored to be recognized as one of the all-time great Jewish soccer players."
It is a foot fete that would have been hard to predict. After all, if Stewart were to go into the family business, he would have been a physicist like his long-estranged father (who left the family 35 years ago) or teacher, like his much-adored mother, an educational specialist who raised the son who would one day raise the roof of clubs and the humor bar of TV comedy.
Maybe he has the field to himself as a soccer Star of David. But Jews do have advantages in this game, he says, sporting that sense of self-deprecation that he wears as a smirk passing off as a smile. "It is a sport that can be played by people of squat stature," he says. "Luckily, our people are conveniently sized."
Sizing up his sportsmanlike conduct, Stewart says there's no news like good Jews on the soccer field. How mediocre was this new honorary All-American? "My college coach was also the coach for the Maccabees – and I still didn't make the team."
But he did make it to Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, where Stewart's college team played ball. Field of dreams? Field of cement! "My basement was a better field than Veterans Stadium," he recalls.
Luckily, he toes the line these days on TV – well, actually, he doesn't toe the line as much as kick the stuffing out of overstuffed Washington and, yes, Hollywood. So why was Stewart chosen to anoint – and maybe annoy – the chosen people of Hollywood this Sunday night on ABC? It must be his own stellar movie career. "My film work," he deadpans of "Death to Smoochy," "speaks for itself."
That's not saying much, he agrees (and maybe that's why his latest film role in the animated "Doogal" only requires his voice). But then, Stewart does most of his talking on "The Daily Show," where he's the class act of iconoclasts, as well as numerous TV appearances (the "Daily" star is a favorite of the "Today Show" gang).
He is far from speech-impaired; indeed, one speech he gave at his alma mater two years ago is still the talk of the town. Receiving an honorary doctorate from William and Mary, Stewart gave the school and himself the third degree: "As a person I am honored to get it," he said of the doctorate. "As an alumnus, I have to say I believe we can do better."
No one bests him at humor, wit and honest takes on topics. Just ask CNN's Carlson – who got sniped at infamously by Stewart in 2004 – caught in the cross-hairs of "Cross Fire," in which Stewart slimed the neoconservative with a liberal attack on his credentials. Shortly after Stewart attacked Carlson and co-host Paul Begala as "partisan hacks," CNN chopped the long-running show from its schedule.
Cause and effect? Effectively, Stewart's skewering didn't help its cause for renewal.
But will Oscar get a sense of renewal from a shot in the arm by the 43-year-old Stewart? The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences knows from experience that hosting is not down to a science. But, more than anything, maybe what they need is what Stewart can provide – the talents of a self-taught "tummler," as he calls himself.
While his Comedy Central show is sort of an arch bunker, a fearless fortress where sarcasm sears the air and hypocrisy is hooted down as anti-hip, Stewart knows that his Oscar audience – due to outnumber his "Daily" crowd by mega-millions – wants him to walk a finer line as he talks about "Walk the Line."
Not that he's going to be a choir boy, synagoguely speaking, of course. One can only imagine what he'll have to say about Hollywood's 2005 theme song of "Homoeroticism on the Range." Will this caustic cowboy have to have his mouth washed out with saddle soap? As Stewart recently revealed riffing on the clash of "Crash" and "Munich" in best picture category: "I've always said, if I can't make fun of the Holocaust, at least I can make fun of the Olympic massacre."
If he kills on stage, he'll be added to the pantheon of punchliners that includes Johnny Carson, Bob Hope and Billy Crystal; fail, and feel the specter of Letterman lingering above him.
But the one-time psychology major knows how to psych an audience. And he knows when putting himself down is the best way to up the ante.
At the podium, will Stewart be a stranger in a strange place? Wouldn't be the first time. As he said when accepting his doctorate: "I came to William and Mary because as a Jewish person, I wanted to explore the rich tapestry of Judaica that is Southern Virginia. Imagine my surprise when I realized 'The Tribe' " – the school's mascot – "was not what I thought it meant."
The tribe has spoken, but not before Stewart makes his own prediction for this year's best picture. "My choice is … 'Marty,' " he exclaims with confidence if not characteristic smugness.
But, uh, Jon, "Marty" won for best picture in 1955.
"Well," he says with nary a sense of being nonplussed, "I just saw it."

Born in 1906 in Arkansas, Jim Thompson's work shares literary ties with several american traditions but the man has been mostly overlooked, only episodically recognised.
After spending his early years in the Depression era Texas, working small jobs and experiencing failure, the disruption of his family and alcoholism at a very young age, Thompson turned to writing crime fiction for pulp magazines and cheap collections, a ghetto that fed him but also condemned him to oblivion. The vogue of the film noir allowed him to work for Hollywood : he wrote [B]The Killing[/B] and [B]Paths of Glory[/B] for Stanley Kubrick, but only got credited for additional dialogue, finding himself trapped subsequently in writing unproduced screenplays, teleplays (and the novelisation of [B]Ironside[/B]) and novels. His last years are a long descent into alcoholism and debt, barely relieved by a late recognition by french critics and fans. He died in 1977 after a colourful but terrible existence.
His stories mostly revolve around the sick destinies of losers, small time grifters or stone psychopaths. They have the fateful quality of greek tragedies, shifting relentlessly from the depressing daily life of lower class people to the hell of crime, profanation and madness, while maintaining a tone of absurd humour. Thompson's masterpiece is arguably [B]The killer inside me[/B], and many of his books use common themes and settings, but each of them is a nail in coffin of common decency, social conventions and hope in the human race. He also published short stories (including a wonderful text about his alcoholism titled [B]An alcoholic looks at himself[/B]) and a two-volume autobiography ([B]Bad Boy[/B] and [B]Roughneck[/B]). My personal favourite is [B]Pop. 1280[/B], one of the funniest books I read.

Big toe arthritis is a major cause of big toe pain and stiffness, and with time it gets increasingly harder to bend the toe until eventually the toe becomes rigid.
Bunion (Hallux Valgus)
A toe bunion is typically found on the big toe. That visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
Diabetes is the cause of ankle and foot pain for approximately 16 million Americans. This disease disrupts the vascular system and can have negative affects on the legs and feet.
Fungal Toenail (Onychomycosis)
Onychomycosis is a toe fungus that is the primary cause of fungal toenails.
Hammertoe is a common source of middle toe pain. Find out more about this condition and how to treat toe pain at FootsourceMD.

The following important announcement was posted today:
Adobe today confirmed that after three full versions of simultaneous support for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe After Effects CS4 are the last versions to support 32-bit operating systems. Future versions will be native 64-bit applications which will run only on 64-bit operating systems.
Adobe first introduced 64-bit support with Premiere Pro CS2 and After Effects CS2, and has further optimized and architected for 64-bit with each successive release. Most modern PCs are 64-bit capable: virtually all Intel based Macintosh systems support 64-bit applications directly, and Windows users may select a 64-bit version of Windows to take advantage of the hardware capabilities. By focusing future Premiere Pro and After Effects development exclusively on 64-bit, Adobe will be able to deliver video professionals the best available performance, including increased editing speed, rapid switching among tools, and faster rendering–all of which give users more time to be creative.
Customers are being notified to provide fair notice of any changes regarding the operating systems and hardware supported by Adobe solutions. By announcing these changes now, Adobe customers will have time to plan their migration strategy accordingly. To assist in these efforts, Adobe has provided a free whitepaper on the benefits of running Adobe software on a 64-bit operating system today and in the future:
There is no change to Adobe's other Creative Suite applications. Those who own Creative Suite 3 and Creative Suite 4 will still be able to use the software on 32-bit operating systems and Adobe does not plan to make any changes to support programs currently in place.
Please visit http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativesuite/production/faq/ for more details.

Arthritis and exercise: Dr. James Rippe
Wednesday, May 11, 1p.m. ET
Studies suggest that roughly half of all Americans who suffer from chronic or recurrent pain simply cannot find a good solution. With so many Americans affected by chronic pain, USA TODAY and ABC News will examine the issue in a week-long series beginning Sunday, May 8 on ABC and Monday, May 9 in USA TODAY. The series, "The Fight Against Pain" will report on the causes of pain, the impact it has on our lives, work, family and even our mental outlook, and the new and promising treatments on the horizon.
Dr. James Rippe, M.D. is an associate professor of cardiovascular medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Mass., as well as an adjunct professor of medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine and the University of Central Florida. Dr. Rippe is recognized nationally as one of the leading authorities on preventative cardiology. A board-certified internist, he is a charter member of the American Heart Association's Council on Nutrition, Metabolism and Physical Activity, and is a member of the American Association of Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Rehabilitation.

From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
GREENVILLE, SC - A bill aimed to improve sex education in the Palmetto State is dead after an Upstate Senator blocked it from advancing.
The legislation would ensure that medically accurate information is taught, teachers are trained and schools held accountable.
Sen. Mike Fair, (R) Greenville, placed a procedural hold on the bill before it could advance to the Senate floor for debate and a vote.
Fair said that the rules are there for good reason and he didn't think it was unfair to do that.
He believes that there was no proof provided that schools aren't teaching medically accurate information already.
"Not a single teacher that I'm aware of in Greenville County said we needed this bill," Fair said.
Supporters of the bill were disappointed with the move this week including the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and its CEO Forrest Alton.
"I really am surprised that a single Senator would take it upon himself to halt all movement of this bill," Alton said.
Fair said that the dropping number of pregnancies in the state is proof that the existing law is working and change isn't needed.
Alton agreed that the 47 percent drop in teen births over 20 years should be celebrated, but he argued that there is still work to do.
"Still last year in our state 6000 young women under 20 became mothers, I don't think any of us would say we have this problem is solved," Alton said.
The legislative session only has a few days remaining this year.

Adult dead, children injured in N. Illinois school bus crash
WADSWORTH, Ill. — One person died and dozens of elementary school children were taken to hospitals Friday after a school bus crash in northern Illinois left two cars mangled and the bus on its side.
All 35 people aboard the bus survived the crash in Wadsworth, 45 miles north of Chicago, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran Jr. said.
The bus driver may have run a red light, Curran said. The bus driver was speaking with investigators.
"The bus ... struck the vehicle, essentially close to a T-bone on the passenger section of the Jeep Wrangler," Curran said. The bus lay on its side with the two wrecked cars nearby, including the remains of a flattened yellow Jeep Wrangler, its front roll bar completely removed and the hood flattened and squashed into the two front seats. Debris was scattered in adjacent farm fields.
The coroner's office says a male died at the scene but did not provide other details. An autopsy is expected later today.
Josh McColough, a spokesman at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, said two children were in fair-to-serious condition, and 23 others taken to the hospital were listed as good-to-fair.
At Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan, spokesman John Griffin said one student there was in fair condition and five others were in good condition.
Most of the children climbed out of the bus through the back exit.
"Some of the kids were upbeat, jovial as if they just got off a ride at Great America," Lake County Sheriff Chief Brian Keller said. "Other kids were asking for their mother or father and wanted to go home."
The accident happened around 8 a.m. about a mile from Newport Elementary School, which has about 400 students.

He laboured alone in a 4-5-1 formation for much of Wales' Euro 2004 campaign, but formed a formidable duo with fellow-scorer Craig Bellamy in Riga.
"Any striker will tell you it's hard with one up front," said Hartson.
"With Craig's pace and the speed coming down the flanks from the other guys, we can cause teams problems in the World Cup qualifiers."
The Celtic striker acknowledged that Wales were somewhat fortunate to claim the win after enduring pressure from the home side for much of the game.
"We were a bit lucky, they hit the bar and missed with a header from about a yard out," he said.
"It's about winning games at the end of the day. We're five games unbeaten now and will take a poor performance."
Hartson's striking side-kick Bellamy was downbeat despite the win.
"It was an excellent result but not an excellent performance," said the Newcastle front man.
"We were ok in the first half but very fortunate in the second.
"Latvia are a good side, as they proved in the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.
"But we've been playing better than we showed tonight."
Whatever Bellamy's feelings, Wales manager Mark Hughes was delighted with the contribution of his strike force.
"He got no protection from the referee, and that is something I seem to talk
about over and over again, but he kept his cool, while Craig is as sharp and as confident as I have ever seen him in his
"I could not have been happier with the front two. They are capable of
hurting any team in the world playing like that, and that includes England."
The threat was reinforced by an impressed Latvia coach Alexanders Starkovs.
"It is for Sven-Goran Eriksson to decide whether they [Hartson and Bellamy] will be a
danger to him," said Starkovs.
"But the way Wales attacked and the quality of their play shows
that they can cause a problem to any team in the world.
"I would like to congratulate Wales, they were fine opponents and I wish them
luck in their World Cup games... and hope they beat England."

Best Of :: People & Places
It's a little neighborhood movie theater in Union Square, which you'd almost miss if you weren't facing it as you drive up Union Street on the way to USC. Mint green and unassuming, the former Union Theatre — once known as Fairyland — had served as headquarters for the Tile Layers Union (Local 18) for 30 years, a movie theater, a church and, when I found the space in 2002 or so, a place for mariachi lessons. Now it's home to the Velaslavasay Panorama — a 360-degree work of art, carrying on a tradition that reaches back to the triptychs of medieval China.
"The panorama was originally located in a small stucco rotunda building at 5553 Hollywood Boulevard," reports founder Sara Velas, just before leaving for Germany and a meeting of the International Panorama Council. "Built in 1968, in the courtyard of a long-since-destroyed 1913 brick tenement, this building — the Tswuun-Tswuun Rotunda — bore a curious resemblance to the great panorama rotundas of the 19th century. Flora in the garden included a variety of aged palms, snow-white rosebushes, banana trees and a collection of fine succulents, some of which have been transplanted to our current location at the Union. The Hollywood location had one panorama on exhibition, Panorama of the Valley of the Smokes, a 360-degree painting of what the Southland might have looked like some 200 years ago."
The building and everything on the property were razed for a development that never came. Soldiering on, Velas set up shop in the Union Theatre in 2005, hosting concerts and other performances along the way.
"With our 360-degree exhibit 'Effulgence of the North,' the panorama remains on view, and there will also be a number of polar-related events [2007-2008 is an international polar year]. Another project in the works is the presentation of a moving panorama. Whereas the 'static' panorama was a still 360-degree painting-in-the-round, a moving panorama was a long painted scroll, which was unwound before an audience for them to see scene-by-scene — but never the whole scroll at once — with a narrator or announcer telling the story accompanying the image."
The panorama, much like film itself, represents the culmination of a romantic and youthful desire to see everything at once, to drink in as much from what peripheral vision offers and to see as deeply as can be seen.—David Cotner
The Paramount Ranch has stood in for Tombstone, Laredo, Dodge City and a host of other cowboy movie landmarks. The façade of a Western town still stands at the entrance and is occasionally used for TV and film shoots. A large grassy area with tables is perfect for picnics. Various trailheads lead into easy hikes through Malibu Creek State Park.—Molly Lambert
It's a favorite of hipsters, artists, scholars, scientists and pretty much anyone with an interest in natural history, dimly lit rooms, mysticism, bees, Wunderkammer, biology, archaeology, pyramids, taxidermy, Victoriana, the notion of what makes a museum a museum, and/or a general sort of elegant weirdness. The Museum of Jurassic Technology, which opened in the late 1980s and, along with its curator-creator David Wilson, was profiled in Lawrence Weschler's book Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders, subsists on donations. It has survived some tough times, thanks in large part to the $500,000 MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant Wilson received in 2001. More recently, the museum picked up yet another prestigious accolade: its own Facebook page. Titled "I Want to Live in the Museum of Jurassic Technology," with some 134 members and growing, the page expresses a kind of deep longing. If you lived in the MJT, the sentiment goes, you would have as much time as you desired to wrap your mind around the enigma, to parse out every nuance as you contemplate its greatest hits: the mouse on toast; the Napoleon Library; the microminiature Goofy sculpture on a grain of rice atop the eye of a needle; the mobile-park dioramas; and the strange bell thing that chimes unexpectedly while you're staring at the holographic Egyptian tomb.
If you lived in the MJT, you would be the proud possessor of a wealth of relics, curios and technological artifacts supposedly harvested from the lower Jurassic period. People would squint for extended periods at the itty-bitty fruit-stone carving in your living room, trying to make out if there really is a Flemish landscape etched on its front, and "an unusually grim Crucifixion, with a soldier on horseback, Longinus piercing Christ's side with a lance" on its back. Friends would stop by for Georgian black tea and cookies in your Tula Tea Room. Perhaps they'd whisper about how you really ought to hire a new decorator, because your entire place is a wee bit funereal, never mind the cute portraits of the Soviet space dogs. Or if they straight up don't get it — and a few unenlightened folks never will — they'll stomp out in a bewildered huff and swear that it's the worst $10 donation they ever spent. You'll know better, though. "Jurassic" means a whole lot more than "dinosaur."—Gendy Alimurung
At first glance, it's a rusted tower crane. Perhaps something dredged up from the ocean, an artifact of some lost city in some displaced future, like Mad Max's Atlantis. Unlike any projection system Los Angeles has ever seen, the Engine Theater is 1,000 pounds of illuminated oxidized-steel sculpture that rotates to hold a 17-by-10-foot film screen.
Built by Silver Lake–based filmmaker Burke Roberts and his Bizzurke Army collective to answer what Roberts saw as L.A.'s lack of independent screening venues, the Engine is a portable movie theater designed to fit into a number of indoor and outdoor spaces, turning any environment into a motion-picture venue.
Since its 2007 debut at the Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles, the Engine Theater has traveled to giant outdoor music and art festivals like Burning Man and Coachella, as well as private parties and über-hip downtown L.A. events, like this year's HARD New Year's Eve, where it screened Daft Punk's film Electroma. Never in one place for long, the Engine's home is where it parks its trailer.
The Engine may have taken 4,000 man-hours to create, but for Roberts and the artists that make up the Bizzurke Army, screening in and around L.A. is only the beginning of the theater's potential. Roberts sees the Engine Theater as having unlimited touring capabilities, like a punk rock band that travels city to city to play gigs wherever, and to whomever.
Currently you can find the Engine at Studio 1636 art gallery, in Hollywood, where Roberts hosts weekly screenings of independent films from around the world.—Erin Broadley
Steam trains were an obsession for Walt Disney since his childhood. From his earliest sketches, he planned to have a railroad circling around the park at Disneyland. Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnson, two of Disney Studios' "Nine Old Men" of animation, shared the same obsession. They introduced Walt to their hobby of narrow-gauge live-steam backyard railroading, inspiring Disney to re-create the barn from his family home in Missouri and make his own miniature track. He used the barn as a workshop for his Carolwood Railroad, a fully operating steam train built an eighth of the size of the real thing on a half-mile of track. Although his train, the Lilly Belle, resides at Disneyland, Walt's Carolwood Barn has been relocated to Griffith Park's former Travel Town, now known as the Los Angeles Live Steamers Museum. The Barn is open free to the public on the third Sunday of each month, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with guided tours provided by members of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society—Molly Lambert
In the general category of obsessive types, rail fanatics are hard to beat. It's one of those fixations that begins in childhood and can balloon into an all-consuming, nostalgia-drenched existence. A glance at any historical rail Web site, typically filled with pages of precise timetables, minutiae about obsolete technology and other arcane information relating to gauge size and engine types will give you an idea.
Of course, every train obsessive's fixation began in childhood. Most kids love trains. Even those who might never step foot in any form of rail-operated transport are gripped by an intuitive fascination.
That's why a visit to the Travel Town Museum in Griffith Park is both a great way to kill a couple hours with your kids and connect with your inner child and history geek. Hell, it's a shame that most visitors are parents with tots in tow. Adults with a modicum of interest in the subject are missing out.
The "railroad petting zoo" that hugs the 5 at the northern end of the park is a graveyard of technology. Nineteenth-century horse-drawn passenger cars are exposed to the elements, and the passage of time is evident on the decaying bodies of the imposing locomotive engines, cabooses, freight cars, Pullmans and other relics that feel like a ragtag group of world-weary characters. (For those who want to get their hands dirty with a more intensive hands-on experience with working trains, membership at the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum next door is better suited to active hobbyists.)
Plus, Travel Town is a bargain. You can buy tickets on the Travel Town Railroad mini-train ($2 or $2.50 for two laps around the three-eighths-of-a-mile track; it's the sister to the Griffith Park & Southern Railroad), make a voluntary donation and buy train-themed goods at the gift shop. Or you can visit and spend no money at all.
The institution, which is managed by the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and the Travel Town Museum Foundation, could use some curatorial and physical sprucing up. At times the interpretive program closely approaches paeans to the corporations that built the railways and donated most of the collection, with little in the way of critical history. The attractions are also, frankly, really dangerous. Climbing inside the Oahu Railway and Land Company caboose, or the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe locomotive requires some perilous maneuvering — no small feat if you're managing overly excited kids. Though some cars are undergoing restoration, an army of conservators is nowhere to be found, nor is there a list of who's-who board members posted at the entrance.
But this down-home quality, extending even to the unfussy graphic design, is also a big part of Travel Town's charm. On weekdays especially, there's a ghost-town-like appeal that makes you feel like you have the run of the place. What better way to spark imaginations, regardless of age?—Jessica Ritz

text: 18 February 2002 A solution for Africa Sign up for our weekly email * Two of your proposals for "How to give Africa hope" (Leader, 11 February) will worsen conditions both on that continent and in the UK. Your call to open markets and cut subsidies in the north will increase the distortion of African economies towards attempting to provide us with cheap exports, rather than meeting their own food and industrial needs. Dyson's planned relocation to Malaysia underscores how Asia will increasingly be the provider to rich countries, particularly now that China is in the World Trade Organisation. The latter's hi-tech, rock-bottom labour costs have meant that its clothing industry has set the target of China taking over 100 per cent of the world's exports by 2005. Where will that leave Africa's textile exports, or, indeed, ours? Your other solution for Africa is to lift many of our restrictions on migrant workers. The first wave likely to be accepted will be even more of Africa's doctors, nurses and teachers: skilled people who we are already shamefully stealing from countries whose domestic needs are far greater than ours. Opening up the UK to wider migration, as you suggest, will be a gift to the extreme right, a disaster for racial harmony in this country, and will perpetuate the idea that salvation rests in coming north. The reality is that it must lie in improving the conditions that force people to leave home in the first place. Colin HinesEast Twickenham, Middlesex Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Erin Mooney takes over the pastry program at Custom House Tavern
Tue Sep 20 2011
Last we checked in on the pastry kitchen at [node:148969 link=Custom House Tavern;], it was being [node:14844065 link=vacated by Bryce Caron;] (he left to go to Blackbird). At that time, I wrote that "Custom House chef Perry Hendrix needs a pastry chef who works in an elegant but simple style." I've not had the desserts of Custom House's new pastry chef, Erin Mooney, who starts her new job today. But from how she described her dessert style to me, it sounds as though she may be a good fit.
"I like to focus on two or three main ingredients and let them shine," she told me over the phone. "I don't like to manipulate ingredients too much."
Mooney, who fell into pastry when she worked at Trio (and then Spring and [node:148521 link=Green Zebra;]) under Shawn McClain, had been looking for a place to settle into ever since moving back to Chicago from Atlanta a few months ago. While in Atlanta she worked at the Ritz and the W Hotel (where her duties included running the pastry program at the hotel's restaurant, BLT Steak). "I became a lot more of a perfectionist working there," she says of her time at the Ritz. "I had a French chef breathing down my neck the whole time."
The seriousness of the high-end restaurant biz has definitely informed Mooney's style. But don't expect sugar work and fondant on the menu at Custom House. The menu is still being developed (Mooney hopes to have it up and running in two to four weeks) but will include dishes such as a black mission fig gratin with fresh figs, fig compote, port sabayon and blue cheese ice cream. ("I use a lot of cheese in my desserts," Mooney says.)
Another thing to expect: A bread program. "I hate the idea of ordering bread," Mooney says. So she plans to make it herself, starting with two types and possible growing from there. Mooney is also toying with making bagels for breakfast, as well as biscuits, and probably two breakfast pastries a day: muffins, Danish, coffee cake, scones, etc. One thing not to expect: Cuteness.
"I would definitely say my desserts are not 'cutesy,'" Mooney says. "I'm not going to name my desserts cutesy names."
UPDATE: An earlier version of this story erroneously reported that Mooney had lived and worked in Arizona.

- Students will learn about income distribution in a market economy.
- Working in groups, students will prepare and follow a budget.
- Working in groups, students will engage in problem solving.
- Students will engage in reflective writing.
- Students will understand how finances affect access to education, health care and other factors.
Materials Needed:
- Printed copy of the family profiles (PDF) (one profile is provided for each small group of four-to-six students) Note: Income levels of the families are based on data from the 2000 census as well as a recent occupational salary survey. The income levels of the families essentially represent median incomes in the different income quintiles and are "typical" for the occupations described. It is important to note that none of the families meet official definitions of "poor" or "marginally poor." As a result, they do not qualify for any social services.
- Printed copies of budget costs (PDF) (one for each small group)
- Printed "Life Happens" sheets (PDF), cut into cards and placed in a basket
- Paper or notebooks for student journaling
This lesson was adapted for Teaching Tolerance from Life Happens, a game created by Tracy Ore, Assistant Professor at Saint Cloud State University, Department of Human Relations and Multicultural Education.
Suggested Procedures
Time Recommended: Five class periods, spread over four weeks
Introduce the lesson objectives to students. Divide your class into small, diverse groups and assign to each group one of the provided family profiles. Explain to students that each of these families is dedicated to providing their children with 1) basic necessities, 2) the best education possible, 3) health care, and 4) fun time.
During the first class period, each group should construct a monthly budget for its family, using the budget cost sheets. As a homework assignment, ask students to reflect on the difficulty or ease of creating the budget in their journals.
During the second, third and fourth class periods, ask each group to draw a "Life Happens" card from the basket. Small groups should then rearrange their budgets, making difficult decisions, as necessary. As a homework assignment, ask students to reflect on the difficulty or ease of creating the revised budget in their journals.
During final period, discuss groups' experiences as a whole class:
- What did your family experience during the activity?
- How did the families' financial situations change?
- How were the families' experiences the same? How were they different?
- How did wealth affect families' ability to withstand the "Life Happens" moments?
- How did wealth affect families' abilities to provide 1) basic necessities, 2) the best education possible for their children, 3) health care, and 4) fun time?
Allow students a final opportunity to reflect on their experiences with this lesson as a homework assignment. Collect journals for assessment.

Touring an Argentinean ranch may be of particular interest to those from northwest Oklahoma. There, they will learn about the gaucho way of life and observe a horse riders' exhibition.
At a vineyard in Casablanca Valley, the travelers will taste wine and see the process in one of Chile's best wine regions. In Santiago de Chile, alumni and friends will take a trip to the Pre-Colombian Museum where statues, carvings, ceramics and textiles from different American cultures that existed before 1492 are housed.
In recent years, the Alumni Association has traveled to Rome, Peru, Ireland, Alaska, Greece and Northern Italy through Pilgrim Tours, the travel company for the upcoming tour of Argentina and Chile.
