Perhaps the oldest surviving animated feature film, this 1926 work by German animator Lotte Reiniger has inspired contemporary films such as Andy Smetanka's animated contributions to My Winnipeg and the "Tale of the Three Brothers" in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Reiniger's take on The Arabian Nights features a soundtrack performed live by Julia Ryckman, a classically trained opera singer and piano player and front-woman of post-punk rockers This Hisses. Thursday night, Feb. 28 only.

This semi-raunchy comedy about a boozy fundraiser to save a ski shop may be a bid to be the new Animal House or (more likely) is a feature-length ad for Kokanee beer, based on its commercials.

An Oscar winner for best foreign film this year, this quietly intense work by Michael Haneke examines the lives of an elderly couple (Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva) thrown into turmoil when she suffers a series of strokes, leaving him to struggle to care for her at home. In film, the visual language of love tends to be sex, but Haneke offers a bold and beautiful reconsideration. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Ben Affleck doesn't let facts get in the way of a good story with this Oscar-winning based-on-fact tale of a CIA agent sent to rescue six American embassy workers trapped in the Canadian consulate during the hostage crisis in Iran by posing as a film producer scouting for Persian locations for a science fiction movie. The film shifts the focus of heroism away from the Canadians and onto American intelligence operatives, who kind of caused the mess in the first place. But as long as you remember that "based on a true story" is not the same things as "a true story," Argo is a fun ride. 'Ö'Ö'Ö1/2

A family suffers weird and unwelcome phenomenon in their home, only to learn an alien presence might be behind it all. Call it a horror mash-up: one third haunted house movie, one-third demonic possession movie and one-third alien invasion movie. Doubtless a few people believe in ghosts, demons and extraterrestrials. But even in the context of such hoke, it's a bit of a stretch to ask us to believe they all exist in the same package. 'Ö'Ö

Quentin Tarantino's latest stars Jamie Foxx as a freed slave who joins up with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from the decadent plantation of a depraved southern gentleman (Leonardo DiCaprio). It's a runaway stagecoach of a movie, suspenseful, shocking and grimly funny. As always with Tarantino, it is wildly referential. (Hey, that zoom shot is right out of The Wild Bunch! Hey, I recognize that music from Two Mules for Sister Sara!) But as usual, the disparate references add up to something unique. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Bruce Willis takes a feeble kick at the yippi-ki-ay franchise as perpetually in-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time cop John McClane, this time in Russia, where he fights for survival alongside his estranged son (Jai Courteney). Willis's character has finally made the leap from regular guy to supercop, and a hokey espionage plot only serves to further the franchise from its roots. 'Ö'Ö

The siblings of the classic fairy tale grow up to be vengeful anti-witch mercenaries (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) in this oddity directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow). The fairy-tale-as-adult-horror-story could have been worse (see: Red Riding Hood), but the steampunk production design and gory violence can't elevate a lazily cobbled-together script. 'Ö'Ö1/2

Director Peter Jackson revisits Lord of the Rings turf with another three-part epic, albeit one based on a much slimmer story than the first trilogy. Martin Freeman plays the young Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf who comes to the Shire with a mission to help restore a dwarf kingdom to an heir to the throne. While it feels good to be back in Middle-earth, one can't help the niggling feeling that Jackson is padding out this story in a transparent attempt to duplicate LOTR's multi-billion-dollar box office.

A businessman (Jason Bateman) takes matters into his own hands when he discovers his identity has been stolen, only to discover an unlikeliest of perpetrators (Melissa McCarthy). McCarthy and Bateman bring their collective charm to bear, but as an escapist comedy, you probably have less stressful options, such as staying at home and paying bills. 'Ö'Ö1/2

The hit musical finally gets its big-screen treatment as Victor Hugo's tragic novel comes to life with the help of Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe as, respectively, the fugitive Jean Valjean and the relentless Inspector Javert.

A formulaic film based on a formulaic novel by Nicholas Sparks, this one has a beautiful stranger (Julianne Hough) who arrives in a North Carolina town under suspicious circumstances, only to fall for a handsome widower (Josh Duhamel). It's as similar to every other Nicholas Sparks movie out there, which may please the novelist's fans, but makes for a bit of an ordeal for the rest of us. 'Ö'Ö

Bradley Cooper plays an unemployed bipolar school teacher who moves back in with his parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) planning to reunite with his estranged wife, only to be distracted by a young widow (Jennifer Lawrence) with issues of her own. Director David O.

Dwayne Johnson plays a regular guy who turns undercover cop to get the goods on a Mexican drug cartel in a desperate bid to save his son from a trumped-up drug charge. While the movie offers a refreshingly clear-headed view on the inequities and absurdities of the war on drugs, casting pumped up he-man Johnson as a regular guy is just plain absurd. They might as well have cast Roger Rabbit and dubbed the movie Undercover Bunny. 'Ö'Ö1/2

In a post-apocalyptic world, a zombie who calls himself R (Nicholas Hoult) struggles to overcome his brain-eating ways when he falls for a plucky human survivor (Teresa Palmer).

Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) directs this dramatic chronicle of the decade-long hunt for al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden through the eyes of an obsessive CIA agent (Jessica Chastain). It may seem shapeless compared to the average war/espionage movie, but the gist of this compelling drama is that war has changed and war movies must change accordingly. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Merton's political leaders have thrown their weight behind the Wimbledon Guardian's campaign for football justice.
Since launching two weeks ago, our petition, which calls on MK Dons to drop the Dons from their name, has attracted more than 1,100 signatures as well as national television and newspaper coverage.
Wimbledon MP Stephen Hammond has written in support of the campaign, while all 60 elected members of Merton Council will formally support it at the Civic Centre next week on Wednesday evening.
And tomorrow evening, the campaign will even be discussed in the cradle of British democracy – the House of Commons in Westminster – after Mitcham and Morden MP Siobhain McDonagh called for the issue to be debated in Parliament.
Ms McDonagh is expected to explain to MPs the hurt caused to football fans when Wimbledon FC was sold and relocated to Milton Keynes, and will urge the Government to review the rules of football so that clubs are not allowed to be simply removed from a community.
She said: "I want Ministers to remember the case of Wimbledon when they look at how football should be governed.
"It shouldn't be possible for clubs to just up sticks and leave the communities they are supported by.
"Proper, grown up relationships between communities and their clubs are the way forward for all clubs and I back Supporters Direct's calls for action.
"I also want the authorities to look at the running sore of Franchise FC stealing our name.
"I don't mind if Milton Keynes has its own team, although I wish they'd built it from the bottom up, like AFC Wimbledon did.
"But the name Dons belongs to us, and I will be asking the House of Commons to support the Drop the Dons campaign."
In writing in support of our campaign on Friday, Wimbledon's MP Stephen Hammond said: "AFC Wimbledon are now Wimbledon's football team and captures the passion that Wimbledon has for football.
"Community football clubs do a huge amount to gel an area together and AFC Wimbledon's community activities are second to none.
"AFC Wimbledon is going from strength to strength.
"The time has come to allow AFC Wimbledon to reclaim the nickname that should be rightly theirs."
And next Wednesday evening, a full meeting of Merton Council at the Civic Centre, Morden, will see all 60 councillors back a motion to support the Drop the Dons campaign.
Council leader Councillor Stephen Alambritis said: "It is important to move on and this campaign will move things on to a stage where the two football clubs' fans can enjoy football, rather than hark back to bitter times.
"The name Dons belongs to Wimbledon and it would be great if Milton Keynes were to be given city status by the Queen this year, which might just tempt MK Dons into changing their name to MK City."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1607 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They say in his schoolboy days, Winston Churchill used to swim in the sea at Brighton. No wonder he faced down the Nazis. It is a brisk dip, even in the summer, let alone on the fine bright October weekend when we visited.
For hundreds of years, the English have been making the trip to the Brighton seashore for renewal and play. The 18th-century physician Richard Russell prescribed the water for both bathing and drinking. We sampled neither.
But this fabled resort city offers many attractions that do not require either bone-chilling swims or salty cocktails.
Since we moved to London in 2011, friends have recommended Brighton for a quick getaway, given the frequent trains and the travel time of just over an hour.
Finally, with a bit of support and advice from the local tourism people, we 'gave it a go,' as the Brits like to say. On a rainy Friday night, my wife and daughter and I made our way to Victoria Station and boarded a train jammed with Londoners, most staring vacantly into space after the stresses of the week.
By the time we pulled into Brighton, the crowds had thinned and those getting off the train were now mostly wearing smiles, despite a driving rain and a lineup for taxis.
We were set up with a room with a view at the Hilton Metropole, one of the landmark grand hotels on the seaside.
In an earlier day, the Metropole hosted the likes of Oscar Wilde and his dangerous paramour Lord Alfred Douglas, one of many notable couples to have frequented this city. Brighton's nickname is London by the Sea, because of the large numbers of residents of the capital -- rich, famous and otherwise, who have made it their second home over its long history.
On our weekend, the hotel was teeming with competitors in town for an international taekwondo competition. The Russian team offered free entertainment as they practised their routines in the hallway.
By Saturday morning, the skies had cleared, and when we opened the curtains of our room, we were rewarded with a fine view of both the promenade and the remains of the West Pier -- a landmark long the subject of restoration plans, but in the meantime an evocative ruin.
As we made our way along the promenade, we wondered why our previous home base of Toronto could not open its arms to the waterfront in the way Brighton has. The path was lined with craft shops, bars and restaurants.
First stop was the Brighton Wheel, a recent arrival on the scene, which lifted us 50 metres into the air for a panoramic view of the seashore, a view accompanied by recorded witty commentary.
My wife split to explore the Lanes, a labyrinth of narrow streets, which follow the pattern of the medieval town -- a neighbourhood replete with pubs, shops and galleries.
Seven-year-old Julia and I headed to the Sea Life Centre, the world's oldest aquarium, recently renovated and restored. She enjoyed the chance to feed cabbage to Jersey the Loggerhead turtle, and to walk through a glass tunnel at the bottom of the tank, with sharks swimming above.
"Kids would like this," she advised, making her contribution to this article.
After lunch, we met her mom at the Painting Pottery Café, where my wife and daughter spent a couple of hours designing their own vases and egg holders. The place was packed with parents and kids on this Saturday afternoon, an observation I made to our host, Rosie.
"It's great to bring the children when it rains, which is often," she said.
Leaving my family to explore their artistic visions, I made my way to the Royal Pavilion for a solo exploration of one of the wackier expressions of royal taste.
From the outside, it looks like some kind of Indian palace. Within, it is a riot of Chinese-inspired scenes. I stared for some time at the giant chandelier in the banquet room, held aloft by a dragon clinging to the ceiling.
The recorded guide explained it was a style dubbed chinoiserie, all executed by British designers who never came within eight time zones of the Middle Kingdom.
Construction was started in the late 18th century by George, Prince of Wales -- the future King George IV. Facing criticism in the capital for excessive spending, and also suffering from a bout of gout, he came to Brighton to take in the waters and escape the brickbats.
The pavilion began modestly, but over three building periods grew into an eloquent statement of excess -- a fine place for the prince and later king to entertain friends, politicians and his longtime companion Mrs. Fitzherbert.
We waited until Sunday for our visit to the city's signature attraction: the Brighton Pier, the midway stretching out over the waters. Getting into the spirit of the place, we dropped our share of coinage in the games, got ourselves spun around on one of the rides and sat eating fish and chips on the free deck chairs.
As we got on the train back to the capital, we decided that London by the Sea would be worth another visit.

THE Sophie Lancaster Foundation is among the charities facing an uncertain future after its Haslingden head-quarters was put up for sale.
Signs marketing the Agapao Impact Centre, in Bury Road, went up on Tuesday.
Sylvia Lancaster, who started the Foundation after her daughter Sophie's murder in 2007, said the thought of having to relocate was 'a bit of a nightmare'.
The building, formerly the New Thorn Hotel, underwent a £267,000 redevelopment when it opened as the Mary Hindle Resource Centre in July 2000 – work which included £138,000 of lottery funding.
Sylvia, who found out the building was being sold last week, believes the Foundation is now in the hands of any potential buyer.
She said: "We don't know what the future holds. It's a very uncertain time for us.
"Everything depends on who buys the building. If it's a commercial investor, we will probably have to leave, or we would see our rent costs increase, which we couldn't afford.
"It will be devastating if we have to move. We haven't got time to be looking for a new place as it distracts from the work we are trying to do."
The Foundation has been based in the centre for two-and-a-half years.
Alison Mather, from Home-Start Rossendale, a family support charity based at the centre for 18 months is equally disappointed. She said: "This will definitely affect our work. We might not have an office. It has been an excellent base for us and it would be a shame to leave.
"We heard rumours it might 'potentially' be sold, but it would have been nice to have been kept a bit more in the loop.
"The projected budgets we have will go out the window."
Nobody from Agapao International, which has operated the building since 2009, was avail-able for comment.
Trever Dawson Chartered Surveyors, which is marketing the property, confirmed that it was on the market for £250,000.

IN LINE AT THE LOCAL WINE SHOP with a bottle of riesling in hand, I felt the presence of someone close to my back.
Two fellow queuers.
''Trocken: Ripe grapes producing super-dry wines lean and taut, like a Kraftwerk song.''
We stood in line, patiently. It was quiet back there. No small talk.
''Kabinett: Perfectly ripe grapes, Nena and her 99 Luftballons … pretty with a glorious, acidic edge.''
Finally, I was served.
''Spatlese: Late-harvest grapes, the Heidi Klum of wines … perfect in every way.''
Then queuer No. 1, a round-faced woman, maybe in her 60s, spoke.
''We were just reading your T-shirt,'' she said with a broad smile. ''It's interesting, isn't it?''
''Eiswein: Grapes frozen on the vine … proof of the existence of God.''
''Yes, it is,'' I replied. Quietly, I was chuffed.
Not only was my 31 Days of German Riesling T-shirt acknowledged but it was commented upon. Maybe the T-shirt would make a difference, inspire the 60s-something woman to go out and buy a bottle of German riesling (maybe a Donnhoff, always an intense experience), indeed any riesling. Or, then again, maybe not.
Ultimately, one T-shirt would probably not make a difference, I decided, unlike the man responsible for it: Paul Grieco.
In 2008, Grieco, owner of the Terroir Wine Bar in New York City, in a bid to win converts to his cause, poured riesling as the only white wine by the glass for the entire summer (all 94 days, as he likes to point out).
''There was no end game, so to speak,'' he notes on his site, summerofriesling.com/wp. He simply wanted to give the grape he loved some much-needed oxygen.
The following year, he expanded upon the concept with a ''bigger beating of the drum''. In 2010, 14 New York City wine bars came on board. And, in 2011, it spread internationally through the efforts of the International Riesling Foundation, with 222 restaurants, wine bars and retailers joining in. Last year, the number rose to 500. At home, an Australian Summer of Riesling was created with the backing of many of the grape's supporters (summerofriesling.com.au).
Grieco is well placed to be the international leader of a movement. A slight, energetic man, a deadringer for a young Trotsky, he has a flair for the flamboyant - he once staged a rock concert where only riesling was served, and in a post-feminist world makes the annual arrival of the German Wine Queen into NYC actually cool, with not a skerrick of the antiquated sexist ritual that it is.
One man can make a difference.
Riesling badly needed the lifesaver he threw its way. The grape is beautiful but complicated. Ask anyone trying to sell it these days. It can be dry and sweet and everything in between. It loves the botrytis mould (not an easy thing to do - most grapes don't), and for every drinker who thrills to its exhilarating acidity (Grieco labels them ''acid hounds'') there is a drinker who doesn't, often vehemently.
Riesling may never regain the heights of popularity in this country that it did in the late 1970s but it deserves to be treated with respect and even, as Summer of Riesling proposes, a lot of fun.
So, with just nine days left, get the T-shirt (there are a few to choose from on summerofriesling.com.au - I'm wearing my Riesling Salvation tee with pride), buy a glass and do yourself a favour …
A world of flavour to discover …
Brundlmayer 2008 Kamptaler Terrassen riesling (Austria)
This riesling gets three big ticks: noted Austrian riesling producer (tick); bright and compelling wine (tick); fair price (tick). Five years old and still zingy. Love the heady fragrance, citrus fruit to the fore and balanced acidity in the driver's seat powering through. Imported by Cellarhand.
Heymann-Lowenstein Schieferterrassen 2011 (Germany)
A big name in German riesling, with a big, complex wine. Daffodil gold in colour, the scent of nougat, orange rind and spice with an expansive group of flavours and textures, this wine is lifted by a sweetness of fruit bringing that quality we all love in riesling: utter drinkability. Imported by Cellarhand.
Kate Hill 2011 riesling (Tasmania)
A great unsung southern Tasmanian riesling: gentle apple blossom aromatics on the nose, fresh-cut apple and ruby grapefruit flavours providing the delicacy, while minerals and firm but not aggressive acidity bring a clean ''snap'' to the finish. A pretty, aromatic wine.
Leo Buring 2010 DW N17 Leonay Eden Valley riesling (South Australia)
A classic Australian riesling maker and style with a core of citrus-lime intensity running deep and long throughout. Still young and coiled, this is the kind of naked riesling that Australia does so well, with emerging fruit and a resolute stamp of what it is and where it is from.
Spy Valley 2012 riesling (New Zealand)
Tired of Marlborough savvy? Try Marlborough riesling, as the region is well suited to the grape. I like the honeysuckle notes and light aromatics on the nose on this young riesling. Winemaker Paul Bourgeois has fermented one-third in oak to ''smooth things out'' (i.e. softening acidity), bringing texture along with a fresh, apple flavour.
Last hurrah …
Just nine days left to get into Summer of Riesling '13.
■ February 19: Frankland Estate riesling masterclass at Toorak Cellars, 18 Beatty Avenue, Armadale, 8-10pm, $30.

Reid and Allen were given unconditional bail and will appear at Salisbury Magistrates' Court for trail on August 21.
Brown will appear at Salisbury Magistrates' Court on the same day to be sentenced, after the trial of Reid and Allen.

SHAKERS captain Steven Schumacher has urged his team-mates to keep their focus on the pitch as they prepare for Saturday's trip to MK Dons.
Bury, who have been hit by departures, injuries and illness, could be down to just 16 fit first- team players for what is sure to be one of the toughest matches of the season.
Karl Robinson's promotion contenders beat Bury 4-1 at Gigg Lane earlier in the campaign and, despite a few dodgy results since then, remain sixth, just in the League One play-off places.
And Schumacher knows he and his team-mates will have to put in a much-improved performance if they are to end their run of 10 games without a win.
"Who knows what team we are going to put out, but the lads who go out and play have got to make sure that it means something," said the 28-year-old centre-midfielder.
"If we don't throw everything at it then we are not going to come away with anything."
Despite Bury's poor season – they are second-bottom – Schumacher is enjoying one of his best campaigns since joining the club in 2010.
He is sitting at the top of the team's goalscoring charts, with seven in all competitions, but admits he would prefer not to be taking such a starring role.
"I don't really want to be top goalscorer, I want to be behind someone who gets 20," he said.
"If you are in a side that's doing that then we wouldn't be where we are in the league."

So apparently we're not only going to do the job fair thingy that I mentioned the other day, but we're also going to be taking applications and meeting with interested applicants at the upcoming Austin Game Developers Conference.
Once again, they (meaning our recruiter folks) will be talking to anyone interested in the list of positions that we're currently looking to fill at Bethesda Softworks (list) and our sister company, ZeniMax Online Studios (list). So if you're in the area or are going to GDC and are looking for employment in any of those areas, do stop by.
I know that Ashley and Matt are both going to Austin, but don't know if either will be in our meeting room during the show itself. Maybe if you're lucky you can snag an autograph from one of them. (Usually a Benjamin will coerce Ashley into giving up his, but you didn't hear that from me.)

Kawasaki Rail Car officials were thrilled to have scored the $1.8 billion contract to build up to 676 of the next-generation train cars for Metro-North and Long Island railroads.
"Kawasaki is proud to be a partner with the (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) to continue to provide better, more technologically advanced rail cars to its customers, as an efficient means of transportation for a better and greener future," the Yonkers-based company's spokeswoman Laura Alemzadeh told me this afternoon.
When I wrote the article about the order for the M-9 cars for today's edition of The Journal News, I had not been able to reach Kawasaki officials for comment. Apparently, that was a matter of crossed signals.
Alemzadeh reached out to me this afternoon to stress that, yes, Kawasaki is happy to talk about the work. (Her comments were also added to the on-line version of the story.)
She also offered more details about how the cars will be produced.
The car "shells" will be made at the company's Kawasaki plant, but the final assembly, testing and the project management will be handled in Yonkers. Also, support for the warranty on the cars will be handled in Yonkers.
The contract, she said, would support 200 to 250 jobs.
As expected, the MTA board approved the contract today.
It first requires Kawasaki to produce 92 of the new cars for Long Island Rail Road. It also includes options for the railroads and their parent agency, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to order 584 more, including 280 for Metro-North. They would run on the Harlem and Hudson lines, which now boast the M-7s as their newest cars.
They're expected to begin rolling out on Long Island in 2017. The earliest that they would carry Westchester and Putnam residents for Metro-North would be in 2018.
The M-9s will have many of the same features as the M-7s, including wider windows than those in older cars, and single doors rather than double-doors.
But they will also feature the pocket doors at the ends of each car, which slide to the side with the push of a large button, rather than the heavy hinged doors.
The M-8s, which Metro-North is still rolling out on the New Haven Line, also have the sliding pocket doors.

"It is a traditional style with a romantic feel. I am getting married in August of 2015 and these will be our first monogrammed cards for after the wedding thank you notes. I was able to use the emerald green for the font color to match my wedding color and it is perfect!"
"These note cards came out really well. A great choice when thank you notes will be written by both bride and groom. Simple, elegant. Wasn't sure how the burlap textured look would come out on the actual card, but it adds a really nice element."
"First, I want to say all the samples they provide were so pretty. It was so difficult to choose. So in the end I went with this style and was able to make changes to my style/taste. Customer service was amazing and super quick to give me my proofs and revisios...I had my order out within a week of placing it. You cannot get better than that. ALSO, I accidently forgot to apply the coupon discount and not only did they respond quickly to my email, they reimbursed me the difference. You guys and gals are the best. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for amazing thank you cards! Liz"
"These cards matched all of our other wedding items perfectly. We even had them changed to pink/gold for our colors and they looked wonderful!"
"This card is simple and elegant, and perfect for formal or informal notes of thanks. The personalization is perfect for not just wedding thanks but any time you would send a thank you card from "both of us"."

Elizabeth Reich, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, discusses how Make-A-Wish was founded, its challenges, how they make wishes happen and more.
Elizabeth Reich
Title: President and CEO
Company: Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona
What is something people don't know about Make-A-Wish?
Most people don't know that it was founded here in Arizona in 1980 after some DPS officers and a customs agent learned of a boy with leukemia whose one wish was to become a police officer. They decided to help make his dream happen. He got a uniform, was checked out on mini-motorcycle, and the experience was very meaningful to him. When he died, he was buried in the uniform and he was issued. After the officers saw the impact the wish had on the boy and his family, they said , 'We should do this again,' and it grew into what it is today. We have 62 chapters in the U.S. and we are in 35 countries worldwide. Make-A-Wish is Arizona's gift to the world.
Video by Cory Bergquist
What has been your biggest challenge in this struggling economy?
We are 100 percent dependent on dollars from people and corporations to make our wishes come true and those dollars are fewer and farther between. People know that Make-A-Wish does great things, but sometimes they don't see them as necessary things.
How do you show them that they are a necessity?
Fortunately, a 2010 study of more than 2,000 Make-A-Wish families and volunteers shows the impact of a wish beyond that moment — the impact on the family, the impact on the volunteers and the impact on that child through the rest of his or her life. Many of our Make-A-Wish children live to be adults. That wish experience has impact on their ability to recover from their illness. So as a result of the wish impact study, we can now say our wishes are not a 'nice to have,' they are a 'need to have.'
What is your most rewarding moment at CEO of Make-A-Wish?
It's always the most recent moment. There was a young lady who graduated early from high school and was No. 3 in her class. Originally, her wish was to go to Italy. But her wish changed. She said, 'I want to focus on school. I want to focus on becoming a doctor.' So her wish was for a laptop computer. Not only was her wish for a laptop granted, but she got an iPad, an iPod, and a desk to put the laptop on. She was so gracious and so thankful. It's something that is going to enrich her life for years to come and it was her one true wish.
Are there common threads in the wishes?
Our wishes fall into four categories: I wish to be, I wish to go, I wish to have, or I wish to meet. But more and more, kids today are adding a fifth category: I wish to give. They use their wishes to give back. We are working with one girl whose wish is to have a national forum where she can talk about the importance of being a bone marrow donor. We are working with morning shows right now to arrange a platform for her so she can get her message out.
How do you make the wishes happen?
We have wonderful staff members called wish managers. They have to be part travel agent, part logistician, be multi-skilled, and have to work in concert with our volunteers. When you're granting 251 wishes, like we did last year, you're dealing with a lot of logistics and a lot of juggling. I like to say that we cry here every day. We cry for good things and we cry for bad things. But we know what we're doing makes a difference for that child and for that family and that feels so good.

Al Salam Bank, one of the strongest recent entrants into the region's Islamic banking sector, today along with co-investors announced the establishment of a new real-estate company which will promote a number of property development projects in Bahrain, which is experiencing a fast growing construction boom.
Commenting on the incorporation of the new company, Al-Salam Bank's Deputy Chairman and Managing Director, Hussain Al-Meeza, said: "The establishment of a real-estate development company forms part of the Bank's strategic property investments in Bahrain and across the region. Such investments are expected to realize a good return as well as long-term social and economic benefits for Bahrain and for the neighboring countries."
Mr. Al-Meeza explained that the Bank aims to provide services that will improve individual's living through various social establishments. "This is part of our mission as an Islamic bank", he said.
Al-Salam Bank's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the real-estate company, Yousif Taqi, said: The idea has taken shape as a result of a thorough and prudent study of the real-estate market in Bahrain. There are many reasons behind the bank and its co-investors establishing this company. Perhaps the foremost reason is that there is a need in the market for major property projects to meet the fast growing construction sector and to serve the various categories of Bahrain's community at competitive prices." He added: "The provision of real-estate projects at competitive prices in Bahrain is an innovative investment area that has not been properly and comprehensively approached by other Islamic banks in Bahrain. It is the object of our real-estate company to innovate and introduce this new field in Bahrain."
Al-Salam Bank was established on 19th January 2006 in the Kingdom of Bahrain with a paid-up capital of BD 120 million (US$ 318 million). Al-Salam Bank Bahrain BSC operates under an Islamic banking licence issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain. The Bank's Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 35 per cent of the paid-up capital, which closed in March 2006, raised over BD 2.7 billion (US$ 7 billion) and was the largest IPO in the Kingdom's history. The Bank was listed on the Bahrain Stock Exchange on 27 April 2006.
The founding shareholders of Al-Salam Bank hold 65 per cent of the paid-up capital. They include Emaar Properties, Amlak Finance, Dubai Investment Group, Dubai Holding, Global Investment House, Lebanese Canadian Bank, Al Salam Bank (Sudan), and Dubai Islamic Insurance and Reinsurance Company (Aman).

ORANGE PARK, Fla. - Orange Park Medical Center is trying to clear up confusion after state health officials pulled the hospital's trauma center status last week.
Hospital officials released a statement Thursday saying the hospital's emergency department is still open and ready to serve patients 24 hours a day.
Last week, the state Health Department said it had completed a review of the hospital's trauma center and said it didn't meet the standards for a level two trauma center.
The hospital says its emergency room can still handle ill and injured patients.
Patients with the most severe, life-threatening injuries, like those from car accidents, shootings and drownings, need to go to a trauma center.
That would be Shands Jacksonville Medical Center or Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The hospital says it is planning to appeal the Health Department's decision.

In several recent threads (the most recent of which is this one) the discussion has come up as to who is actually responsible for implementing graceful degradation in a website.
Some argue that it is the responsibility of the client, while others argue it's the responsibility of the developer who's implementing the website.
Personally I'm in the second camp; I think the drawbacks of having parts of the main content rely heavily on javascript are just too many to ignore.
So, my question to you: should a developer always implement graceful degradation, or should the client decide whether it should be implemented or not?
Note: anywhere it says "graceful degradation" one could also read "progressive enhancement"
The developer. There are professional standards to adhere to and the developer is the educated person in this field. It is the developer's job to inform and advise the client. Now, if after advising and informing the client adamantly says "no" to progressive enhancement, then the client adopts the responsibility. The assumption of course is that the developer explained everything to the client clearly.
If the client decides not to implement it then the developer really needs to get it in writing that the client accepts all responsibility for the decision and that the client will have no claim against the developer if the client ends up being sued because the site is inaccessible.
I agree :agree: if the developer's advice is limited to providing user experience pitfalls, and not any legal advice unless the developer is legally qualified to do so. Imho the client can get their own legal advice.
yep :agree: and that is what I do in any contract/agreement I sign.
Depends on what the legal ramifications are.
When I buy a new car, I expect it to fall within emissions and safety standards. Hell, I can't even request the thing doesn't drive around in the daytime without the headlights running (ARG hateses them); I can't get the back windows to roll all the way down because some irresponsible parent let their kids climb out while driving on the highway... ...degrade into rant about cars...
Although, in the countries I know of with accessibility laws, the client (the one who owns the web site) is the one held legally responsible if their site is inaccessible; they are the ones sued by Getty and Corbis if their developer used unpaid images; they are the ones given the letter if their developer uses text plagarised from somewhere.
That might mean the developer is required to be informed themselves, must inform the client, and are held responsible unless they have some signed waiver where the client claims all responsibility.
Is there a precedent anywhere where the client successfully put the blame over to the developer/developing company?
I vote for the third option as I stated before. Although the poll itself is written so it can only really be the developer as they have been commissioned to do the actual work. If you hire an electrician you expect them to follow the electrical wiring rules and regulations.
Albeit if the owner gets contacted by people who has severe 'accessibility issues' with regards to their website due to shoddy workmanship. And if the owner doesn't attempt make "reasonable adjustments" after being contacted then the owner is at fault too. Same goes for above if the owner disregards such advice; if the webmaster stated the current legislation regarding such things.
In such a scenario within the UK legal action theoretically could be taken if the site doesn't function without JavaScript, i.e. core functionally preventing access to a web service or content such as online purchasing. I don't mean progressive enhancement, fluffy dice, rounded corners, etc.
yes that's true generally, but where I live electricians and plumbers must be licenced in order to operate legally. Web developers do not have to be licenced.
you would have to look at all the Acts of Law applicable to the website to see what the responsibilities are for the website owner and developer.
in some countries what must be done and what is optional for a website varies depending on whether the owner of the website is a government department or not.
I would have thought a more appropriate poll question could be along the lines of:
"Who bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring all legal obligations of the website are met?"
and what about in "grey areas" where a large corporation has its own IT department and full time support people. Can a full time employee be held responsible for breaching any legally required accessibility requirements if the employee asked to build the website was not properly qualified to build it?
I don't know about the hobbyist employee but certainly the website itself in the UK theoretically will be liable whether or not it is commercial or built by a hired professional/worker.
Even if it was a neighbour from down the road who has only ever used FrontPage twice in their lives or something as dire. Had never even seen any source code, did it as a favour and asked for no payment from the start and wrote no contract, etc.
The web accessibility law would still apply so its no defence being ignorant of the law. Though obviously it's mainly targeted at businesses rather than your granddad talking about his favourite pastime hobby.
so when we speculate on hypotheticals until we go :weyes: and everything is said and done, the way I see it is everything eventually filters down to
The client will most likely be blissfully unaware of what graceful degredation even mean. All the client wants is to increase his revenue (assuming we're talking a business website). The developer's task is to do this. Unless the client demonstrates a significant amount of knowledge on the subject, and specifically tells the developer to ignore those pesky Internet Explorer 6-users, the developer should either make the website degrade gracefully as a standard, or at the very least help the client make an informed decision on the matter.
I agree with that 100%That is also how I work; the client gets graceful degradation unless they specifically state otherwise.
If I did freelance and had clients who specifically requested inaccessible things on their web site... I would have to charge extra for that. To pay off my conscience.
Ha, I'd like to see how you would work that into a contract.
5-10 page website: $Custom contact form: $Mobile version: $So I can sleep at night: $$$
Haha, yeah.
Layer of garbage to drive away customers: $$$$$$ (must include signed contract stating client accepts 100% responsibility for retardedness and my company name appears nowhere on the website)
Do all this in DreamWeaver: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Man I could be rich.

DETROIT - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette's lawsuit seeking the removal of seven Detroit School Board members has been tossed out.
Wayne County Circuit Court Judge John Gillis dismissed the case the case in an opinion filed Tuesday.
Schuette had argued that seven of the 11 Detroit school board members be removed because they had been elected in districts -- state law only allows in districts large enough to qualify as first class. He said the Detroit Public Schools ceased to qualify in 2008.
"We are glad that this lawsuit has been exposed as the bogus claim that it always was. Attorney General Schuette and Governor Snyder filed this lawsuit to prevent the largely black and Latino citizens of Detroit from having any say over their own schools. The Attorney General should not appeal this decision and he and the Governor should stop trying to destroy elected government in the City of Detroit," said George B. Washington, attorney for the Detroit School Board.

Hey Nor'easters! My name is Ryan Keith and I am Orientation Advisor for the Trailblazer in the Community Program at UNE. I am going to be a Senior and I have been involved with the Trailblazer program every year, either as an incoming student or as an Orientation Leader. The deadline to sign up for Trailblazers is fast approaching (May 31) and I wanted to tell you guys more about it.
The Trailblazer Program is an additional piece to traditional orientation. Each of the Trailblazer programs is made up of a small group of incoming students and Orientation Leaders. This provides a great opportunity to connect with a small group of people instead of trying to connect with a couple hundred. There are also different options for the Trailblazer programs. There is the Trailblazer Outdoor program where guides and students can go either biking, kayaking, camping, or canoeing all while enjoying the great outdoors of Maine! The Trailblazer in the Community program participates in different types of community service in the surrounding areas of UNE. We help out at nursing homes, soup kitchens, trails, the recreation department, animal shelters, and show what the surrounding communities of Biddeford and Southern Maine have to offer.
The Trailblazer programs are a great option for students who want a little extra in their orientation experience. I participated in the Trailblazers in the Community program as an incoming student and it was one of the best decisions my mom made for me. Yes my mom made me come to do community service, but mothers always know best! I am still in contact with many of my peers who also went through the program and this experience has helped my throughout my college career. I am now and Orientation Advisor, the President of Rotaract, and well known leader on campus because of the Trailblazer program.
So remember to sign up if you are interested or if you would like, you can email me or call me at (207)602-2885 and ask me a little about the program or my experience with the Trailblazer program. Can't wait to see you guys in June!
You can learn more about the Trailblazer programs and register by going to www.une.edu/newnoreasters.
