of the Poor Farm
in 1907
Lincoln Republican
, 17 January 1907
Lincoln county has one of the most attractive homes for the care of her dependent poor, to be found in Central or Western Kansas. The term "Poor Farm" doesn't describe it all. To begin with, it is one of the best 160 acres of land to be found in a splendid section of country. This much, nature did for it; but the county commissioners and an energetic superintendent have done the rest.
When the farm was purchased a few years ago, the improvements consisted of a little old stone house. The commissioners at first put up a furnace heated infirmary for the use of the unfortunates who were to make this their home; then a fine orchard was set out and has been added to from time to time, until it is now one of the best in the county both in size and quality of fruit produced; a good new barn was erected; a splendid poultry house and yards were added to the other improvements, also various other out buildings. Last summer the climax of improvement was reached when the board erected a splendid modern two-story house for the use of the superintendent. This was built in front of the building for the inmates making it all one structure.
The farm is located at a convenient distance from town – about a 30 minute drive, and as it is approached it presents a pleasant home like appearance.
Last week, the commissioners made a visit to the farm for the regular quarterly inspection, inviting the Republican man to go with them. This was the last official inspection made by the old board, Mr. Shaver's term expiring Monday of this week. The inspection was a source of satisfaction to all three members. Mr. Shaver, who has served a term of eight years, has seen the farm become the pleasant home it now is while Messrs. Taylor and Long have the satisfaction of knowing that during the last two years they have helped to give the indigent poor a home of which Lincoln county is proud, and which as an institution is a profitable enterprise for the county.
A look about the premises revealed what would fill any Lincoln county citizen with pride, and showed that Superintendent McFarland and his good wife are the proper persons to have at the head of such an institution. The inmates are given every attention and comfort; and while they are not clothed in purple and fine linen, they are well provided for in the line of clothing and certainly farm sumptuously every day. There are a number of fine fat cattle on the farm. Mr. Mc. had dressed one of these the day before our visit and had a supply of splendid beef on hand while a visit to the smokehouse revealed barrels of pork. In the cellar was tier after tier of canned fruit, with butters and jellies, marmalades and other good things without end. Four hundred head of poultry on the farm insure a bounteous supply along that line with a large margin of products for the market. Everything about the farm is cozy, up-to-date, and inviting. Those citizens who have been visited the farm cannot realize how much has been accomplished here by the superintendent. The farm is especially adapted for the growth of alfalfa and the board is planning to increase the acreage of this valuable drop. This together with the execution of other important plans is calculated to cause the county farm to continue to be one of the attractive places in Lincoln county.

I am just curious to know if anyone has not had success on the Makers Diet or other similar diets. My now 18 year old son was diagnosed with Crohns in August of 2006 and he is still not in remission. He is on Remicade and previously on Imuran and now on Methotrexate. I have not yet pushed the diet alternative but I am wondering about
it. We seem to only hear from people for whom this diet has worked and I am wondering if it works for everyone who puts in the effort or we are only hearing from those individuals for whom it had worked. I would love to hear from both sides of this therapy.Thanks in advance!

I have not tried it but I have seen a few posts from members who reported minimal results. I think it's like any other medical or dietary treatment for Crohns . . . it has good results in some, less impressive results for others and no real impact on a few. Overall, it has always made sense to eat a balanced, sensible diet with this disease and to take the medications that work for you. It's just such an individual disease that I am very skeptical with any claims that "this is the one answer." With diets in particular, all you can do is try them and see what happens . . . and then realize that even if you see good results, it could simply be that your flare was ending at the same time. With dietary treatment, only time will tell and there is no assurance that diet alone is going to have a truly pronounced impact on the course of the disease. My personal take is that no diet will stop an inflammatory procress; it can only, in the best of circumstances, help alleviate some of the damage and the severity of flares that might have been made worse by eating a bowl of hot sauce.

I am with MikeB on this. I personally have had a couple resections already and could not eat many of the items on those diets. But as MikeB said Crohns is very individual as is our diets. I believe many of the newer diagnosed folks have better success with the diets, than those like myself and MikeB who have Crohns for a longer time.
Been living with Crohn's Disease for 32 years. Currently on Asacol, Prilosec 60 mg, Estrace, Prinivil, Diltiazem, Percoset prn for pain and Calcium. Resections in 2002 and 2005. Recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and doing tests to see if I have Inflammatory Arthritis or AS.

The key to assessing the value of these diets lies in the individual. You have to figure out what is working for you and you need to be really honest and stay rooted in your reality. The problem with is that many people who try these alternative therapies develop a huge investment in them working. I tried alternative therapies, including dietary therapy at the beginning of my journey with this disease and in the midst of them, I believed it was helping. In reality though, they just fed my denial. I wanted so badly to be "in control" of this disease that I willed myself to be well. Which really just means that I accepted more and more serious symptoms as "normal". I under-reported symptoms to my physicians, not willfully, but because I didn't want to give in to the disease and I thought it was just a matter of being strong enough to cope. Because I under-reported I was under-treated medically. That allowed the disease to do damage that can't be undone. So anyone seeking alternative treatments, needs to be really rooted in their reality, not governed by their anxiety or their hopes.
There are also many individuals who have been able to dramatically reduce symptoms through a very controlled and restrictive dietary regime. So it is important to explore the options out there. Of all the dietary prescript
ions I think the specific carbohydrate diet has been around the longest, has a proven track record (for some) and can be followed for the price of Elaine Gottchall's (sp) book. I would be wary of anything being promoted as proprietal (you have to purchase products) or that claims to cure.

I did the diet very strictly for months. Now, I use this diet in moderation, sometimes more strictly, and I've seen some improvements, including not going to the bathroom 30 times EVERY day.
The only time I've heard anyone say this diet didn't work is if they had partial obstructions, because some of the food in this diet is very fibrous.
I always recommend ppl with obstruction problems puree their veggies and don't eat nuts and seeds etc. or in gradual amounts. Also chewing food until it is complete mush is extremely important.
Also, the first month can actually cause more diarrhea because of the detoxification effects. Many ppl give up before the 40 day challenge, claiming it wasn't working. They should try it for the 40 days or longer, as suggested.
The diet is meant to reduce inflammation, control blood sugar levels, and detoxify. It should be tried strictly for at least the 40 days.

Thanks so much to those of you who have written in. It is so helpful to hear and learn from your personal experiences and insights. Your responses have been so balanced and rational and I appreciate the sharing of your years of trial and error and your ability to help those newer to this chronic condition such as my son. Your understanding of the use of denial and the need for contol in a difficult to control situation is so helpful to all of us. I think it is particularly important for you guys who have lived with this for years to keep commenting whether in agreement or not as your insight is so valuable. Thanks again, from me and my son.

I would like to add that the long term effects of following these diets exclusively are yet to be determined. I have to be upfront and say I didn't follow any of these diets, but I did adjust and alter my diet in a similar manner when I first suspected I had CD. I then went 10 years untreated and undiagnosed except for my dietary changes. When the S*&T finally hit the fan I was in pretty bad shape. I ended up with 3 resections in 6 years. How much of that can be attributed to having no maintenance drugs, I will never know. But I am very leary of ANYONE who has been diagnosed for a short period of time, starts one of these diets and then stops all meds because it has CURED them. The microscopic disease process may very well still be wreaking havok within their body and only years will tell. Some aspects of these diets make wonderful sense. Eat as close to nature as possible, Eat organic, good quality food. But for some of us, the prospect of eating that much fiber is basically a recipe for disaster.
But most of all, check with your son's doctor. If he is to be on a low residue diet, or any other type of restriction, you need to make sure that you are following all medical advice.
CD 19 years offically, 29 unofficially. 3 resections '93, '95 '97
Symptoms constantly but all tests show only minor ulcerations. Currently having multiple episodes of gastritis with no known cause.
Prednisone, 6MP,Prevacid, B12 shots, Bentyl, Xifaxan.....

I've tried all of them. And yes, I tried them long enough to see if they would work. When you're desperate to get relief from Crohn's, you'll try anything for as long as they tell you to. No help for me, at all. Zip.
Just trying to be a "Regular Member".
Entocort 9 mg/day, Pentasa 4 gm/day, started Humira 1/22/08, started 100 mg of Azasan (Imuran) 2/20/08. I'm convinced that Prednisone is the root of all evil, and primarily responsible for global warming.

I have been eating the Blood Type Diet and I think I can tell a difference. You can google EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BLOOD TYPE and see how it works. It does have a few of the same characteristics of the MAKERS DIET.

i agree with zanne. just cos you feel good doesnt mean you are doing well. no matter how well you feel, i think it is a good idea to go through the alien abduction examination like every 2-3 years just to see what is going on inside. plus we are supposed to have a higher risk for colon cancer so that alone makes it a good idea...
i dont think you are ever cured of this disease. i see diet as another way to help manage it and minimize symptoms. in some people they get fantastic results from eating a restricted special diet such as makers or scd. in others it may not help very much. meds are the same way. gotta keep trying things until you find something that works for you.

I agree with crazyharry. The best thing to do is to keep searching for something that will help get the disease under control.
Aside from my own diet changes, I keep pushing my doc to speak with researchers about
getting an intestinal worm therapy trial started in canada.
They've shown some positive outcomes with that therapy as well. I hear they have a hookworm study in the UK, and pig whipworm studies in the US now for MS patients too.
Someone here recently mentioned going to mexico to buy the hookworm therapy which can induce remission in about
45 weeks.
We all know how desperation feels... don't give up!
Best wishes.

I tried the Maker's Diet and it did NOT work for me. It was quite a disappointment as I was desperate and just wanted anything that would keep me in remission. For me it has really been trial and error to see what works and what doesn't work. A few things that definitely don't work for me are caffeine, red meat, cow milk (I drink goat milk), raw lettuce, and mexican food. Just like anything, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others.

There were a few aspects about
the maker's diet that I couldn't do, like eat a lot of eggs, nuts, etc. Aside from my crohn's I have food allergies to contend with. I also had a lot of obstructions when I did the maker's diet strictly at the beginning so I had to modify it or avoid a few aspects of it.
I'm curious to know if while doing the maker's diet you had obstructions. Also, how long did you do the diet and did you try it strictly?
The one thing that the book didn't seem to go into was obstructions in CD (at least I don't recall that).

Hey Roni!
I have never had any obstructions and I followed the diet very very strictly! I was SO FRUSTRATED because I was sure it would work for me, but it didn't really work. I also picked up his other book, "Restoring your Digestive Health" which is more so for people with CD and UC and tried that very strictly (I was desperate, just wanted to remain in remission) and unfortunately that did not work for me either.
I am able to eat eggs but cannot do nuts or raw fruits/veggies (especially lettuce)! I also stay away from red meat b/c it makes me so sick! I was on the MD for a little over a month and was on the "guts and glory program" (from the book "Restoring your Digestive Health") for about
three weeks. Believe me, I was incredibly frustrated as I bought all of the suggested supplements just to have none of them work! If you haven't read the book "Restoring Your Digestive Health" I recommend reading it just b/c it does a great job explaining different food groups etc.
Take Care!!

I haven't found much change in my flares traced back to food, except when things block. Eating various things don't stop or start a flare for me.
I was down to chicken broth only for a couple of months last year and my intestines were still quite ticked off. Humira was the only thing we got them calmed down with. For me, I don't think eating these items would miraculously cause me to stop flaring? But maybe so. At that point, anything solid caused extreme pain and an acute blockage so I didn't dare attempt it.
For others, maybe food is their major trigger and eating certain things does make a big difference?

Luca Guadagnino Relied on a Pair of Longtime Friends for 'Call Me by Your Name' Decor, Costumes
4 hours ago
Two longtime friends of director Luca Guadagnino added their personal touch to "Call Me by Your Name," his sensual summer romance from Sony Pictures Classics that's set in northern Italy in 1983.
An interior decorator by trade, first-time set decorator Violante Visconti (Luchino Visconti's grandniece) dressed the 17th-century villa where young Elio (Timothée Chalamet) lives with his scholarly parents, the Perlmans (Michael Stuhlbarg and Amira Casar) and falls for the visiting American intern Oliver (Armie Hammer).
Fashion designer and repeat Guadagnino collaborator Giulia Piersanti created the film's understated costumes.
Visconti conceptually married the Perlmans' worldliness with the villa's nostalgic past to attain the eclectic, lived-in feel of a deeply loved home. "[Much] of the furniture belonged to my father," she says. "That made it cozy and personal. The Perl-mans are open-minded. They love books, music, history. … Their house is easygoing and non-structured, with flowers from the garden, furniture from their travels. It was there »

Mar del Plata: Argentina on the Rise — Demián Rugna
4 hours ago
Mar Del Plata — "Is there any way of stopping this?" police commissioner Funes asks paranormal expert Albreck as the body count and unearthly beings proliferate at three common-or-garden Argentine suburban chalets in Demián Rugna's "Aterrados" (Terrified). "No," answers Albreck, a venerable bluestocking, just before a twig-lick arm snaps out of a crack in a chalet wall aiming for her head.
Shot in widescreen, "Terrified," which sales agent Aura Films will screen at Ventana Sur, marks a move towards the mainstream for Rugna, being made with the aim of scaring the hell out of audiences, he explained. "People just want to be scared these days," he said. Yet "Terrified" still bears the hallmarks of the Rugna style: an art film refusal to show human-beings conquering the supernatural; a smorgasbord of fantastic sub-genres — from chiller to shockfest to cop investigation and gothic baroque — and a darkly-knowing humor that pushes the movie, in a very Argentine style, »

'Coco' Stuffing 'Justice League' at Thanksgiving Box Office
5 hours ago
Disney-Pixar's "Coco" is heading for a clear victory over "Justice League" at the Thanksgiving holiday box office, estimates showed Thursday morning.
"Coco" should finish above $70 million at 3,958 North American locations in its first five days while "Justice League" will wind up around $60 million at 4,051 sites. "Coco" is performing significantly above pre-release forecasts, which had been in the $55 million to $60 million range.
Wednesday's figures showed "Coco" with a first-day total of $13.2 million, which included $2.3 million from Tuesday night previews. The animated musical received an A+ CinemaScore from moviegoers, indicating that the film could be lifted by strong word of mouth during the rest of the holidays.
On the same holiday weekend a year ago, Disney-Pixar's "Moana" scored $15.5 million on its first day and went on to earn $82 million in five days. That was the second-highest opening for the period, trailing only Disney's "Frozen" at $93 million in 2013.
"Coco" is already a blockbuster in Mexico with $48.8 million »

Playback: Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan on 'Lady Bird' and Coming of Age
5 hours ago
Welcome to "Playback," a Variety podcast bringing you exclusive conversations with the talents behind many of today's hottest films.
This week, on a special Thanksgiving episode, we have "Lady Bird" writer-director Greta Gerwig and star Saoirse Ronan. It's an apt day for the conversation, which you'll gather if you've seen the film. "Lady Bird" marks Gerwig's solo directorial debut and is sitting pretty as one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, if not the most. After all, 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 150 reviews counted is hard to argue with.
Listen to this week's episode of "Playback" below. New episodes air every Thursday.
Click here for more episodes of "Playback."
For Gerwig, hammering out a script isn't about knowing the core of it and where it's going from the outset. She's found it more rewarding to explore casually and let her characters guide her through the process »

Gal Gadot and Kumail Nanjiani Riff on Their Parents' Expectations and Name Mispronunciations

Gal Gadot ("Wonder Woman") and Kumail Nanjiani ("The Big Sick") sat down for a chat for Variety's "Actors on Actors," which airs Jan. 2 to Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. on PBS SoCal Koce.
Kumail Nanjiani: So how did you end up playing "Wonder Woman"? How did that happen?
Gal Gadot: It's kind of one thing led to the other. I never planned on becoming an actress, and then I had this opportunity where this casting director flew to Israel; she was looking for a new Bond girl. I did the audition, didn't get the part, but through this experience I was like, "This is so much more interesting than going to law school."
Nanjiani: You were in law school?
Gadot: Yeah, I know. Thank goodness life interrupts and comes in the way. It was weird because I didn't know they were auditioning me for "Wonder Woman." I knew I »

Singapore Festival Launches in Understated Style
6 hours ago
Shopping-mall glamour and a red carpet flanked by designer stores greeted Singapore's film community and visiting celebrities for Thursday night's opening of the 28th Singapore International Film Festival (Sgiff).
The celebrities who walked the red carpet through the high-end Marina Bay Sands mall mostly left the highest couture in the store windows. Many instead went for sedate touches of lace, minimal glitz, and daytime outfits.
The evening's glamour moments went to Sgiff vice chair Soo Wei Shaw, who swept the red carpet in a floor-length black gown, and Indian actress, Waheeda Rehman ("The Song of Scorpions"), in a red and pink brocade sari and traditional jewelry.
Introducing the opening film, Vivian Qu's "Angels Wear White," Sgiff chairman Mike Wiluan told theater-goers gathered in the lower levels of the 2,000-plus seat theater that the festival was a "torchlight" for aspiring storytellers, himself included.

Idfa Film Review: 'The Dead Nation'
6 hours ago
For anyone who's ever riffled through a stack of old photos in a flea market and realized with absent melancholy that it's likely many of the vividly smiling, posing subjects have since passed away, Romanian director Radu Jude's hypnotic "The Dead Nation" is a gently uncanny, feature-length version of that experience. Not so much a film in the classical sense as an art project built at the crossroads of 20th-century history and personal testimony, this photo-montage traces the fate of Romania's Jewish population through the turbulent years immediately prior to and during World War 2.
Using no visual pyrotechnics other than a scintillatingly well-chosen series of static, black-and-white images, unearthed recently as part of a trove belonging to 'Foto Splendid' (a Romanian photo studio set up in the 1930s by photographer Costica Acsinte), Jude lets the contrast between image and sound create its own tensions and provocations.

Roland Emmerich's Centropolis, Flimmer Team Up on Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' (Exclusive)
7 hours ago
Roland Emmerich's Centropolis Entertainment is teaming up with Berlin-based Flimmer to co-produce a modern-day screen adaptation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
The film follows 15-year-old Tim Walker, who is sent from London to the Austrian Alps to attend the renowned Mozart boarding school, where he discovers a centuries-old forgotten passageway into the fantastic world of Mozart's most famous opera.
The creative team behind the project includes German writer-director Florian Sigl and Flimmer CEO Christopher Zwickler, who produced Dustin Loose's "The Last Will," which received the Student Academy Award in silver in 2015. Sigl and Zwickler are aiming to have the international family entertainment event ready for a Christmas 2018 release.
The duo is developing the project as a multi-part movie, according to Zwickler, who describes the story as a new adaptation of "The Magic Flute" framed by a modern-day narrative. Andrew Lowery is attached to write the screenplay.

One of France's best known actors, Jean Reno ("Leon: the Professional," "Ronin," "The Da Vinci Code"), is attached to star in "1.200 Almas" ("1,200 Souls)," a fantasy thriller from the Zaragoza-based producer-director tandem of Marta Cabrera and Pablo Aragüés whose "Novatos" proved a Netflix worldwide distribution pick-up.
L.A.-based Outsider Pictures Paul Hudson is handling world sales rights and executive produces along with Zaragoza VFX house Entropy Studio.
Despite Reno's Spanish origins – his parents hail from Cadiz in Andalusia – "1.200" marks the first Spanish film for an actor who has sought to buck typecasting in a multitude of roles whose international titles take in "Nikita," "Mission: Impossible," "Godzilla" and "The Last Face."
Reno, who won a European Film Academy's European Achievement in World Cinema Awardin 2000, joins Swiss-Spaniard Ingrid García-Jonsson, who broke out with Jaime Rosales' 2014 Cannes Un Certain Regard entry "Beautiful Youth," scoring a Spanish Academy best new actress nomination, and [link=nm »

'Sweet Country,' 'Newton' Share Top Honors at Asia Pacific Screen Awards
9 hours ago
"Sweet Country," a Western set in the Australian Outback, was named best film at the annual Asia Pacific Screen Awards on Thursday.
The film, which won the Golden Lion at the Venice festival earlier this year, is the second feature by cinematographer-turned-director Warwick Thornton. His first film, "Samson and Delilah," won the Apsa best picture award in 2009, making Thornton the only two-time Apsa winner.
The Apsa awards were in their 11th iteration. They were presented Thursday evening at a ceremony in Brisbane, Australia.
The other big winner during the evening was India's "Newton." It earned a best acting prize for Rajkummar Rao, while Mayank Tewari and Amit V. Masurkar claimed the award for best screenplay.
Russia's Andrey Zvyagintsev was named best director for "Loveless," which had its premiere in Cannes. Zvyagintsev previously won the best film award with "Leviathan" in 2014.
The international awards were decided by a jury headed by film editor Jill Bilcock. She praised »

AMC Networks International Picks Up Canal Plus Show 'Ouro' for Spain, Portugal
10 hours ago
AMC Networks International Iberia has acquired "Ouro," the adventure-thriller series created by Fabien Nury for French pay-tv channel Canal Plus.
Sold by Newen Distribution, "Ouro" was directed by Kim Chapiron ("Dogpound") and Philippe Triboit ("Spiral") and produced by Mascaret Films.
Set in the Guyanese forest, "Ouro" follows the journey of Vincent, a 20-year-old geology student from Paris who goes to French Guyana to do an internship at a gold mining company and drifts into the dangerous world of gold trafficking.
The series will start airing on AMC Spain in January, followed by a roll-out in Portugal a month later.
"We are thrilled to bring this fantastic adventure drama to our Portuguese and Spanish audience" said Pilar de las Casas, VP of Cinema and Documentary Channels at AMC Networks International Iberia.
"Ouro" was acquired last week by Sony Pictures Television Networks for Continental Europe.

Idfa Forum: 'Documentary Makers Want To Go Behind The News'
12 hours ago
Amsterdam — The world's geopolitical landscape may be changing on a daily and depressing basis, but a visit to this year's Forum suggests it's not all doom and gloom in the world of documentary. "Sunken Eldorado", from France, offers a tale of modern-day piracy in the hunt for the Spanish Armada's missing gold; Italian co-production "Maestro Morricone" tells the story of Quentin Tarantino's favorite composer; and, from Norway, comes "Krogufant", a film that takes a look at the emotional lives and intelligence of the animals we're more used to eating than meeting.
In all, 58 projects came from 23 countries, each exploring different themes and formats. "It's so wonderful to travel with all these filmmakers and see the world through their eyes," says Adriek van Nieuwenhuijzen, the festival's head of industry. "The variety is huge this year, and it's not only political topics dealing with society. Last year, what »

'The Other Side of Everything' Leads Winners From a Politically Charged Idfa Lineup
12 hours ago
In a world presently riven with political conflict and polarized discord, you wouldn't expect the world's leading documentary festival to skimp on the tough issues, and so it proved at Idfa this year. The Amsterdam showcase's 2017 lineup was a strong one, peppered with challenging perspectives and confrontations of past and living history, but "fun" was low on the agenda — rueful irony amid tragedy was, for the most part, as close as audiences could hope to get.
That was the tone maintained by the festival's well-received selection of prizewinners, presented on Wednesday night, many of which tackled conflict and political turmoil with an empathetic but battle-wearied worldview. The top award in the festival's feature-length competition, Serbian director Mila Turajlic's "The Other Side of Everything," had already premiered in low-key fashion at Toronto in September, but this thoughtful reflection on the still-unresolved legacy of civil war in Serbia found a more vocally receptive »

Ventana Sur: A Breakdown of This Year's Blood Window Work in Progress Section
12 hours ago
Ventana Sur's Blood Window has become one of Latin America's most important launchpads for fantasy genre films. For the four days of the market, producers, distributors, sales agents and directors will come together for panels, debates, co-production meetings and pitching sessions.
This year's works in progress selections have been divided into two groups. The first group is the Screenings and Work in Progress section, which was specially curated by José Luis Rebordinos, director of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The remaining works in progress are in the Video Room section.
Starting with the local fare, "Luciferina," is the only Argentine work in progress at this year's Blood Window. From director Gonzalo Calzada, the film is the story of Natalia, a teenage girl with a supernatural gift. After a family trauma, the origins of her ability must be faced, and a ritual executed to protect the girl from something which has been with her »

Idfa's Shifting Perspectives Program – 'It's About Ownership Of Images'
13 hours ago
Amsterdam – "Every day, we are bombarded by images of the Arab world: bombings, shooting, hunger and hatred…" It is this "one-sided representation" that Idfa programmers Laura Van Halsema and Isabel Arrate Fernandez, together with Syrian producer and filmmaker Orwa Nyrabia, sought to challenge when assembling Shifting Perspectives: The Arab World, a three-day symposium of sorts, in which 16 films of varying length and vintage were shown to a festival audience, usually with a lively discussion to follow.
The section is the second in a series that began in 2016. "Last year," says Van Halsema, "we had a program, also called Shifting Perspectives, from which we basically wanted to look at what was left over from the history of colonialism – the slave trade, slavery between Africa as a continent and Europe and the U.S..
The programmers picked films from each of these regions, and then, as they were watching them, we realized right away that there was a blind »

Idfa Film Review: 'Of Fathers and Sons'
13 hours ago
The family that prays together stays together, with entirely chilling consequences, in "Of Fathers and Sons," an intrepid, cold sweat-inducing study of Jihadi radicalization in the home from celebrated Syrian docmaker Talal Derki. Delivering on the auspicious promise of his 2013 debut, the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner "The Return to Homs," Derki's follow-up finds him again visiting his ravaged homeland to examine the making of an anti-government force: this time not spiky rebel insurgents, but unformed young boys under the absolute influence of their Al-Nusra fighter father. The result is as despairing as any portrait of close-knit family and dedicated parenthood can be, adeptly blending sensationalism with domestic intimacy, and sincerely eye-opening in its portrayal of inherited Islamist fervor.
Sure to travel the festival circuit as widely as Derki's debut did, starting discussions along the way about complicity and trust in documentary filmmaking, "Of Fathers and Sons" has a combination of artistic muscle and frank »

The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed center Joe Vitale to a two-year extension worth $1.1 million, according to the team website. The deal will kick in next season and pay Vitale $550,000 per year.
The deal is a one-way contract, meaning Vitale will be paid the same amount at either the NHL level or the AHL level. Contrary to popular belief (I blame EA Sports), this has nothing to do with whether or not Vitale has to clear waivers to be sent to the AHL.
Vitale has been the team's best faceoff man at 55.9 percent this season and has recorded three goals and seven assists in in 44 games this year, playing most of them on the fourth line.
At near league minimum salary, Vitale is low-risk and is a nice fit in the team's bottom six.
This means the Penguins will have James Neal, Matt Niskanen and Cal O'Reilly as the only restricted free agents currently on the NHL roster, though Eric Tangradi, Robert Bortuzzo and Brian Strait will be RFAs as well. Steve Sullivan, Arron Asham, Richard Park, Colin McDonald and Brent Johnson will become unrestricted free agents at season's end.
The team now has close to $55 million in salary committed to 10 forwards, six defensemen and a goaltender for next year. The current cap is $64.3 million.

The Things We're Most Looking Forward to Seeing at CES 2012
December 13, 2011
Consumer Electronics Show
might be a premiere showcase to show the world the ways that technology is shaping their lives and give budding technology engineers and companies a place to grow. However, the new sights that are about to hit the drool covered floor at
are the real reasons we look forward to the annual tech gathering. Some of
' most defining displays and premieres have ushered in new methods of media, communication and even transportations and given geeks, dweebs and wireheads another reason to go on living.
Serac Glass Speakers and Bravura Glass Subwoofer
No bachelor pad is complete without a kicking stereo system that can make the astronauts on the Space Station turn their heads to wonder where that strange noise came from, but they haven't made many recent innovations in design and style.
Greensound Technology has fixed this problem
without skimping on a stereo's capability for busting eardrums. The company claims their speakers and matching subwoofer offer stereo quality sound with a unique and sleek glass design that can make even the grungiest apartment look like the setting for the new Jetsons movie.
The Return of the Polaroid Camera
Photo: Jayme Thornton/Stone/Getty Images
Digital technology may have made cameras more accessible and easier for any brainless moron to use, but part of us really misses the Polaroid camera. The fact that anyone could shoot and print photos with the same device in the flash of one moment seemed like something from the future, even after digital cameras brought photography into a new era. The
Z340 Instant Digital camera
, the revival of the classic point, shoot and print Polaroid camera, will keep us from longing for the old days without sacrificing what makes cameras awesome in this day and age.
Skype is all well and good but it's not the futuristic video phone technology that science-fiction movies like "Blade Runner" and "Back to the Future Part II" promised us. We want something that will not only allow us to make and receive calls through our television but also allows us to speak completely hands-free.
Biscotti's "TV phone"
may be the closest thing yet to achieving that dream. The cookie shaped device for which it is named sits on top of any television and not only broadcasts an image of the person you're speaking to through it, but it also can pick up voices and send conversations from anywhere in your living room.
The Tailgater Portable HDTV System
Tailgating at the big game has always made for an enjoyable alternative to actually attending the game since you're not crammed into a stadium seat and burning your own hot dog doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the $7 ones at the concession stand. The hardest part of tailgating is finding a connection to hook up the TV so you can actually watch the big game.
This portable satellite dish
not only provides an ultra convenient way to watch the game, but it also provides high definition broadcasts on the go.
The BCS Game in 3D
Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News
3D technology might be popular in science-fiction and horror movies to make the experience more immersive, but it was made for sporting events. Finally, sports fans around the globe will get to experience the way the BCS Championship game was made to be seen in full, high definition 3D. Not only will attendees of next year's CES get to watch the game in 3D, but they will also get to watch live boxing
that will also be broadcast live in 3D
. I'm assuming it's so the people in attendance can compare 3D technology to real life to see which looks more real.Source: http://www.cesweb.org/events/ESPN-events.htm
The Basis B1 Watch
Of course, being able to enjoy the joys of tailgating in one's off-hours requires a steady diet and health regime every other day of the week unless your goal is to get on disability by seeing how many sausage dogs your heart can handle.
This innovative wrist watch
can monitor your heartbeat, blood flow, activity level and body temperature and provide an accurate assessment of your health from all the data it collects. It can even monitor your sleep patterns as you wear it and provide assessment to improve your nightly siesta.
The Lytro Camera
It sounds like a cliche that digital cameras couldn't be easier to operate but someone may have actually found a way to "un-cliche" that statement.
Lytro's camera
not only looks like the simplest camera to ever be held by human hands since the first disposable camera, but it makes it even easier with advanced focusing technology that can fix blurry pictures after they've been taken.
The XBox 720
Photo: Bloomberg/Getty Images
So far, any news about Microsoft's successor to the insanely popular XBox 360 console has been nothing more than rumor. In fact, the only thing that has been confirmed is that the console will officially be unveiled at the CES, just like the original XBox. Unfortunately,
that's about the only thing we know about the new console
. Microsoft has kept such a tight lid on the thing that the showroom is sure to flood with the rabid drool of gaming fanboys by the time the veil on the device is finally lifted. Speaking of drooling crazies...
The Booth Babes
Of course, we'd be lying if we said the only reason we look forward to CES is the chance to play with all of the new gadgets or watch a bald, sweaty man have a spontaneous joygasm over advertising specs. Just about every new gadget and electronic doo-dad has a pretty face and shapely body drawing people towards them. These models of the wired runway alone can make a presentation on new sump pumps feel like a private unveiling of the new Space Shuttle. They are the biggest reason we look forward to CES every year, well technically, the two biggest reasons.
Microsoft Steve Ballmer's Keynote Address
Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News
We really couldn't care less about what he has to say or what he may be presenting or unveiling to those in attendance. The fact that
this human ball of energy
and mayhem will take the stage to speak for more than a minute will have us fighting for a seat in the front row. Every time Microsoft's chief executive officer has a microphone put in front of him, his speech turns into a hilarious, raucous display of wild fist bumps and hilarious man-jumps. He could deliver a speech on the growth demographics of software engineers in the Ukraine and it would be the most hilarious live event ever seen on stage since Richard Pyror was in his prime.
With all the new electronics and gadgets CES 2012 in Las Vegas is going to be absolutely phenomenal. Best part? As the official broadcaster of the entire event,
SPIKE is going to
give viewers at home an
All Access
to see what goes behind the closed doors of CES 2012
exclusives, celebrities, special guests, and surprises that you won't find anywhere else - and it all starts on January 10.

Sweden may ban surrogacy in all its forms after a high-level inquiry recommended the move.
A report submitted to the government, and authored by Justice Eva Wendel Rosberg who led the governmental inquiry into the practice of surrogacy, states unequivocally that all forms of surrogacy in the nation should be discouraged, and, further, that Swedish citizens should be prevented from travelling abroad for the purposes of procuring surrogate services.
"The most important reason we do not want to allow surrogacy in Sweden is the risk of women facing pressure to become surrogate mothers," the report states, cautioning that little is still unknown about the implications of surrogacy, not least for the children born by that arrangement.
While the Swedish government now considers such a ban, the report has its own implications for Swedish society, where same-sex marriage is legal, offering the potential for legal challenges based on the desire of gay couples to have equal rights to a family. In recent weeks, for example, single women were granted the same rights as gay couples to access state-funded IVF treatment, bolstering any equal rights case a couple may subsequently choose to bring.
For those who argue for a system of so-called 'altruistic surrogacy' meanwhile, where the surrogate mother receives no fee for her birth, the report also deals a blow, asserting that legislating for such arrangements has no effect on commercial surrogacy, and women may still receive secret payment under the guise of altruism, or be pressured to become a surrogate. In addition, substantial 'expenses' running into thousands of euro are also usually paid.
Surrogacy is currently permissible in a number of European countries including Ireland, Britain, Denmark and Belgium, as long as the surrogate mother is not given a fee, or is only given 'reasonable' expenses. Further afield, commercial surrogacy is legal in India, Russia and some US states.

being from a place where full cancer treatment is made available to all regardless of means, I was shocked to read some posts on this site where some elements of cancer treatment could not be 'afforded'. Is it fair to assume that all those posting on sites like this would be in favour of universal medical care? I'm curious about what motivates those that oppose it so fervently.
Sep 07, 2012 - 9:29 pm
I live in Alberta Canada and I can tell you from personal experience that medicare Alberta style has serious issues. 24% of doctors have had a patient die on a waiting list. There is a serious shortage of doctors, nurses and specialists in my province. I have the best insurance available and even have a cadillac supplementary policy that covers absolutely everything but I cannot get access to medical care. Hospitals are full. Acute care beds are filled with old pwople waiting to get into long term care. There are waiting lists for every test and every procedure and each is subject to triage. People wait for days and sometimes die in emergency rooms because people cannot get appointments with gp's so they turn to emergency rooms. On weekends in cities the wait can literally be 3 days. I have a friend who was in a hospital for 3.5 weeks before getting an appointment with a oncologist for esophageal/liver cancer. During that time she developed a infection from a feeding tube nad is now too weak to survive chemo. She was scheduled to have an MRI on Jan 2013 but ended up in emergency. She will be dead by January (dr has given her 2-5 months to live). I had a xray on a lesion that my dr described as large and aggressive and in my femur on June 7th 2012. My bone scan was postponed and finally done in July. I have an MRI booked for Oct 1 that was set up on June 8th. My boyfriend waited 12 months for a triple bypass and was then sent home because it was postponed at the last minute. They were short of OR staff because they did a transplant the previous night. Two weeks later he finally got in. He had been rushed to emergency 3 times during that year. If you are short of drs, other health care professionals and hospitals it simply doesn't work. It hasn't worked here for a very long time. Private health care is illegal and you cannot go out of province if the treatment is offered in your province. Alberta medicare sounds great in theory but you really don't want to live it. Some provinces are better and some are worse. Every american should read this article http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/01/25/our-health-care-delusion/ It will be an eyeopener for many.
Sep 07, 2012 - 10:21 pm
Thanks for the message on health care in Cancda. Here in USA health care is one of major political agendas. It is becoming more and more expensive. I wish there was a majic answer. Most of the time my doctors and hospital has been available when needed.
Sep 08, 2012 - 7:05 am
I said all of this in the CSN chatroom in June when I first started my ordeal. I was told by an American that I was lying and a fraud and that I should be banned from the room. He told me had talked to Canadians and they loved the system. I should stop whinning. The healthcare system is run by each province here. Conditions vary greatly from province to province. Mine is the wealthiest province and has one of the worst healthcare problems. Some employers are offering American Healthcare insurance to entice workers to come here since we have a labour shortage. I would love to have American Insurance. I would have driven to Montana in June and had a diagnosis by now. It is September and I still don't have a diagnosis. I am also trying to convince myself that if my dr's initial evaluation of a "large aggressive lesion in the bone" is not right and that my 4 month wait will not affect my treatment options. I am also telling myself that my friend's 3.5 month wait while developing an infection and becoming too weak for chemo has not caused her impending death. I will always wonder if she had lived somewhere else would she have had a chance? Great insuracnce coverage is irrelevant if you cannot get service.

I am so sorry for your loss and your insurance problems. I have reported the perpetrator several times to CSN and the American Cancer Society. It indeed was not one of my better days. I had just been told that I may have an agressive bone cancer, I would have to wait 4 months for an MRI and now I was being bullied in a "support" room. I was pretty devastated. On Tuesday of this week I was in the same room with the same person minding my own business and my phone rang. My best friend called to tell me she had just returned from having a biospy for possible breast cancer and lymphatic node involvement. I was making arrangements to drive 5 hours this weekend to go with her when she gets her biopsy results (no one should ever have to do that alone). To my horror my screen was totally filled with a tirade of personal attacks, an malicious insults and again the perpetrator bemoaned the fact that I should be banned from the site for refusing to chat with him. I did not respond, but I will not be referring my friends to that chatroom as I do not feel it is a safe place for a vulnerable person who is frightened and looking for hope. I have an ignore button and I know how to use it and the rest is up to the owners and managers of the chatroom.

Indeed I did report it. The perpetrator was a moderator who recently resigned. They were featured in the American Cancer Society magazine this past winter and attended a conference in Atlanta last week to discuss how to "improve" CSN. The chatroom has become a ghost town. Those who haven't been banned when they were moderator left and created another chatroom elsewhere. Go figure! I simply use the ignore button, the rest is up to the management.

Sorry to hear about your personal experience with Alberta healthcare. I also live in Alberta and it was a totally different experience. My husband went to his doctor due to swallowing difficulties, 2 days later he had a barium swallow and a week later he had an endoscope and a CAT scan it was found he had stage 4 esophageal cancer with mets to the liver. He has had radiation and 3 courses of chemo. His CAT scan done after this treatment showed excellent response. He can now eat anything without any trouble and we took a road trip down to Las Vegas. He is having 3 more rounds of chemo and then another CAT scan, hoping for more excellent results. Once again sorry for your experience with Alberta healthcare.

My mom was on medicare and had the best of care and no delays. She also had supplemental care that she purchased. All I know is that we had no $ out of pocket. Everything was covered. My husband is on medicare and again, no out of pocket for him so far. He is due to have back surgery in November.
I don't have a problem with medicare at all. I have a few years to go before I convert to medicare and I will also purchase supplemental too.
It's the pharmaceutical companies that rake us! Ugh! I have to take a heart valve pill and was told there are generic versions. Well, the generic does not help. I have heart issues when I am on the generic. As a result I have to pay $100 for my pills! Used to pay $25 until "they" decided I should take the generic version. I wish "they" had my problem and try to fix it with a generic brand. I think "they" would sing a different tune. And just who IS "they"? A panel of people? What?

Some disabled employees believe that their disabilities excuse them from following the workplace rules other employees have to abide by. That's not true.
Recent case: James Pacenza worked for IBM for 19 years until he was fired for accessing sexual materials on his work PC. (See "Can porn surfing be a 'disability'? Lessons from the IBM case".)
He sued, alleging that post-traumatic stress disorder made him more vulnerable to addiction, including a compulsion to access sexually oriented materials. He said he had really been fired because of his disability.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals refused to entertain the argument. It said IBM had fired Pacenza for violating a perfectly legitimate rule against accessing sexual materials at work. (Pacenza v. IBM, No. 09-2025, 2nd Cir., 2010)

Dear Fellow Mice Chatters,
Im sure many of you have noticed that Disneyanna began closing its doors at the same time when attractions would close about 8 months ago. Before that, It would remain open for the full extended shopping hours like the Emporium. But recently they've remained open late with the rest of the shops. This appears to be some kind of trial run. Cause up until last Sunday, it was still considered temporary. The higher ups are thinking about changing Disneyanna hours back to its original schedule but are still not sure. I sure would like it to return to its original hours. That is one of the best stores to peruse after the park closes. Even the CM's who work there are fighting to keep the store open. So I propose for us to help make this happen. What I suggest is if you plan on making a purchase in the store during your visit and you plan on staying in the park till closing, to hold off from making your final purchase until after the attractions have closed. So that the sales numbers increase and look better on paper in hopes in showing that leaving the shop open late looks like a good idea. Cause that's precisely what they are looking at. Sales during that hour. You can still shop around during the day or what not, but just hold off on making that final purchase till you leave, that is if you plan on staying until the majority of the park has closed. It could make the difference and it would be great to have Disneyanna open again once its time to head to Main Street for shopping and treats.
Now is the time to make a difference, because when the trial run is over, there will not be another chance to hold off on your purchase till after the rides have closed. They will possible return back to the schedule of closing with the attractions and then we won't be able to make a difference with our wallets. Just be sure when you do this, to walk inside Disneyanna and ask a CM if they plan on staying open late so that you can rest assured they are will be open when you leave
If anyone else has any other suggestions, please share them.
Thanks for reading.

Foreign spooks using Freedom of Information requests to spy on Brits
FOREIGN spies are being gifted intelligence on the UK – by simply using Freedom of Information requests.
Public bodies release info when an FOI request is submitted to them.
Journalists or anyone keen to find out more about a public group use an FOI request to learn more about publicly funded bodies.
"The appetite for information is vast and indiscriminate"Security source
But a source has revealed diplomatic documents were being sent abroad to spies.
Some of the requests were rejected because they may affect national security.
The source said: "The appetite for information is vast and indiscriminate."
Recorded information includes printed documents, computer files, letters, emails, photographs and sound or video recordings.
The news comes as cyber-spooks smashed a terror cell plotting to target Brits at the 11th hour after hacking into their phones and emails.
Details remain sketchy, but it is understood the deadly attack was foiled in the nick of time after Brit spies trawled through thousands of messages.

The Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC) has applied to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on human rights violations committed in 2014 against the Muslim community living in the village of Mokhe (Adigeni Municipality). In its application, EMC disputes the alleged use of excessive force and ill-treatment by the police against four Muslim persons participating in a peaceful assembly, specifically – violations of Article 3 (Prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment), Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life), Article 14 (Prohibition of discrimination) and Article 13 (Right to an effective remedy) of the European Convention on Human Rights. EMC is managing the case together with is partner organization – European Human Rights Advocacy Centre (EHRAC).
On October 22, 2014, during a dismantling of a historic mosque located in the village of Mokhe, the police (mobilized around the building) arrested a group of Muslims (a total of 14 people) spontaneously gathered at the site and used disproportionate police force against some of them. The applicants of the case are four persons, against whom the police used especially brutal physical and psychological violence. Apart from beating during the arrest, these four persons were subjected to psychological and degrading treatment at the police station, with one of them being subjected to brutal physical violence. In addition, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs exhibited hate speech on religious grounds during all stages of conducting police measures.
The facts and claims presented by the applicants as part of the case are supported by witness testimony, including 13 neutral persons in addition to the 14 arrested individuals; medical documentation verifying physical injuries received by the applicants; expert conclusions of a physical and psychological examination conducted by the Georgian Center for Psychosocial and Medical Rehabilitation of Torture Victims (GCRT).
In the context of the essential requirement of Article 3, the applicants dispute the use of inhuman and degrading treatment against them by government representatives. The use of hate speech against Georgian Muslims by the police, which was expressed through degrading statements based on religious grounds, enhances the gravity of ill-treatment by the police and points to especial vulnerability of the applicants.
The applicants provide a detailed description of the flaws of the investigation process and its inefficiency in the procedural violations part of their application.
The investigation on the alleged abuse of authority by the police has been underway in Georgia for almost two years now; however, despite numerous requests by EMC, the applicants have still not been granted the status of a victim, which deprives them of any means to control and oversee the investigation. Proper qualification of the disputed act is also a problem, since the Prosecutor's Office completely ignores the reasonable suspicion regarding the existence of a motive of hate in police actions. Despite the fact that witnesses have identified specific police officers that had acted in violation of the law, no suspect recognition measures have been taken against any employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and no criminal prosecution has been launched. On the contrary, instead of holding persons identified by witnesses responsible, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Gela Kokhodze was promoted and appointed as head of the police station that was opened in Mokhe specifically after the incident.
The existence of a hate motive in the case and the ineffectiveness of its investigation points to the violation of Article 14 of the Convention as well, or the government's obligation to prohibit discrimination.
In its application, in addition to the violation of the rights of the Muslim community in Mokhe, EMC points to the systemic occurrence of acts of religious-based violence and intolerance against Muslim communities (Nigvziani, Tsintskaro, Samtatskaro, Chela, Mokhe, Kobuleti, Adigeni) and the Georgian Government's ineffective and non-secular policy in this area. In this regard, EMC refers to critical assessments recently provided by international organizations (including the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance,[2] Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities,[3] Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights [4] and the UN Human Rights Committee[5]). It should be noted that no one has been held responsible in any of the above cases of violations of the rights of the Muslim community. Conflicts like this are being conserved at the expense of the rights of Muslims.
EMC appeals to the ECHR to assess the case in its larger political context and hopes that if a violation is found the Court's decision on the above case will serve a preventive function for the protection of the religious and other rights of non-dominant religious groups.
This statement was prepared as part of the project – Increasing Access to Justice for Discriminated Religious Communities, implemented by the Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC). The project is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through East-West Management Institute's (EWMI) Promoting Rule of Law in Georgia (PROLoG) Program.

Marriot Now Screwing Over Press Who Will be Covering Amazon's Launch Event
I bought my plane ticket yesterday, but I held off on the hotel room so I could get the better rate that Amazon had negotiated with the hotels.
Stupid me; I should have registered immediately. I just got off the phone with Marriott, and the base rate for a hotel room at the Marina del Rey Marriott is now $270. Amazon knocked that down to $250, a minor discount. The thing is, yesterday the price was $200 for the same room. (And if I want to stay Friday night, the cost is suddenly down to $200 again.)
Yes, Marriott jacked the price up by $70 overnight. I'm getting screwed on the price, and I'm calling out Marriott for price-gouging.
Now, I'm still going to pay it, but I'm also sharing this as a learning experience. If you can, register before the hotel knows about an event. That way they won't have a chance to jack up the price.
Update: My Amazon contact gave me a direct link with the correct discount code. Now I'm only being gouged out of an extra $30.

Common sense
Some people refuse to accept the fact that things are different from what they were some years ago. They still think everybody is honest, that crime doesn't happen in their neighborhood, and if something isn't right the neighbors will look out for them.
Unfortunately, this isn't the way it is.
Within the past week or so, there were two cars stolen in Lehighton. One was on the Heights section, the other was in an alley. Both were recovered, one in Franklin Township, the other in Jim Thorpe.
In both cases, the cars were stolen because the keys were left in the vehicles.
Leaving keys in a car today is nothing less than sheer stupidity. It doesn't matter if your car is in front of your house, in your driveway, or even in your garage. Leaving the keys in the vehicle is an invitation for theft and possibly disaster.
If you leave your keys in the car and someone steals the vehicle, you can be held liable for damages caused.
It's not only in Lehighton that we hear about cars being stolen because the keys were left inside the vehicle. There have been similar cases in Summit Hill, Palmerton, and other municipalities.
The climate has changed even from a few years ago. Even the nicest neighborhoods are being visited by people with less-than-good intentions.
That is why officials are reminding residents to secure their properties, especially when away.
If you're elderly, it's smart to keep your doors locked and to be careful who you open them for when there is a knock.
Years ago you didn't hear much about home invasions and daylight burglaries or teams of crooks, whereby one thief distracted the homeowner while the other entered the home.
If you see suspicious activity, don't second-guess yourself. Call the police immediately.
We don't live in the big city but that isn't a factor for today's criminals who aren't being selective when it comes to the rural or urban homeowner.
Use common sense, don't be trusting, and watch out for your neighbor.
By Ron Gower

Quarterbacks coaching guru George Whitfield, Jr. spent the weekend ending speculation about whether former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is getting fat and told USA Today on Monday that he is considering throwing at the NFL Combine, which starts on Tuesday, February 17.
A picture of Winston training shows the NFL Draft prospect in an unflattering position with his stomach protruding. Whitfield said that the picture in question was taken a month ago and that he had a tether tied around his waist, which exaggerated his belly.
"He's lost about 12-15 pounds," Whitfield said. "He's always had a thing about pushing his stomach out. "I hadn't seen the pic until Saturday. You smile about it because people got it and they jumped on it. When I saw him later, Jameis laughed and said, 'I'm going to be out in front of the world in a couple of days anyway.
"He's been working his butt off the last five weeks to make sure he's going to make a tough decision for somebody. He looks good. I like where he is, focused, driven. He's enjoying the process."
Winston, who is listed on the Seminoles' website at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, will have his pro day on March 31 at Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium, but Whitfield, who is also training Baylor's Bryce Petty, said he may decide to throw at the NFL Scouting Combine.
"It's a game-time decision," Whitfield said. "He's a very big believer in himself, so it'll be interesting. He's prepared to do it. Whether he goes in and does it will probably be determined a couple of days from now. At this time, he hasn't made a decision."
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the number one pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and are considering using that selection to draft Winston or Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, the 2014 Heisman Trophy winner. Mariota is also contemplating throwing at the Combine, but is coming off a shoulder injury to the AC joint he suffered in the national championship loss to Ohio State.
Scott Reynolds is in his 23rd year of covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the vice president, publisher and senior Bucs beat writer for PewterReport.com. Author of the popular SR's Fab 5 column on Fridays, Reynolds oversees web development and forges marketing partnerships for PewterReport.com in addition to his editorial duties. A graduate of Kansas State University in 1995, Reynolds enjoys giving back to the community as the defensive line coach for his sons' Pop Warner team, the South Pasco Predators. Reynolds can be reached at: [email protected]
Throw at the combine. Show them it makes no difference. Some will be perfect and a few won't; that's no big deal.
I would be shocked if either threw. It's just not common for a top 5 QB to throw. If he did though it would show some guts. But again, I doubt either will throw.
Come on JW…can we just flash forward to training camp…cant wait to see his face went Jackson and Evans are down field…oh ya!!!
I'll take either QB, but I would prefer Mariota. Skill set is just as good and he is a good kid. Winston could very well end up in Jail if he handles things the same way in the NFL as he did in College. Good chance that a rookie is going to struggle no matter what, but after watching him in his first loss against Oregon, I think he will pout everytime he doesn't get his way. We need a guy who is mature enough to lead a team and also handle adversity and loss.
Where you saw pouting,which yes, him and fisher had words , which they do a lot. I saw a QB that was patting his running back on the head and telling him everything was ok after his second fumble. I saw a guy sit down with his entire offense on the sideline when they were down 30 telling them to just finish strong and no matter what happens he loved them. IT's no secret that Jameis is an incredible teammate and leader.
What bothers me is the same situation with mariotta when they are getting creamed in the championship game is sitting on the sidelines by himself with his helmet on. I'm tired of quiet leaders. AS a Bucs fan I'll support either they pick, but my preference obviously is Jameis. All that said, that is IF he passes all of the vetting from the bucs and such.
Joe Montana was a quiet on the sidelines, I like rah rah guys too, but a leader wins games by his play more than his mouth, Josh Johnson was great on the sidelines as a vocal leader but so what.
True joe Montana was a quiet leader but loom at all of the great qbs today. Brady, manning, Rogers and brees. These guys are all vocal leaders on and off of the field. A qb needs to command respect in the huddle too. I just think we need more vocal leaders on this team. Especially from the qb position. Just my thoughts.
I would actually like to hear about Winston's interview workout… How does that go? His physicals are not the issue. Scott, is there any way you could find out info about the Bucs interrogation (ala Jack Bauer) techniques or strategy for Winston; and vice versa… Who is schooling Winston for these interviews? I'd LOVE to see that meeting at the Combine…e
Forget the off the field stuff…I would ask why he showed up with his pads on for warm ups in a game he was suspended. I would show video of him yelling and blowing off Jimbo and ask what he was thinking. Or throwing a ref out of the way to get the snap off.
That is not a picture of a man who is working his butt off (especially after "losing 10-15lbs"). Red flag, he's skinny-fat (built like a high schooler). My younger cousin plays D1 QB at a school in Texas and he is the same size at 6'5″ 225 but would absolutely destroy winston in the weight room (my uncles played in the MAC and my grandfather played canadian-pro football for the BC lions- I know how to throw a football). I don't mean to fat shame winston but belly fat/lack of musculature like that slows down football mechanics no matter what position you play. If he doesn't throw at the combine, he's hiding flawed mechanics. No QB throwing 18 int in a season is an accurate passer and that question needs to be addressed at the combine or a pro day among the plethora of other issues jameis has brought upon himself. What happens if Mariota nails the route tree under center at his pro day/combine????
Deeze- a qb's physique is irregardless, see Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow. Then look at Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Dan Marino and Dan Fouts
Ok you're reaching a little here. Did you not read the article, he's kost 12 pounds and has always looked like that. Brady Quinn was built like a super hero, how'd that work out? Peyton manning is built like a wall, how's he? Hiding mechanical flaws? Qbs normally don't throw in the combine if get are top ten. It's a fact so not sure what you mean there.
Man, I can NOT wait until the draft is over. Enough of this BS. "Reports say Bucs are leaning towards Winston."
"Reports say Bucs are committed towards Mariota." Grrrrrrrrr.
I do feel a bit sorry for the powers-that-be at One Buc. No matter who they choose, half their fan base will be enraged. Which means every pass of every game for the next two + years will be followed by "I told you so" statements by out of shape posers who think they know more than an NFL GM and coach. I can handle that. But, all these "reports" by supposed journalists with "sources inside the Bucs" are just pathetic. The draft can not get here fast enough for me.
BucsWin, I couldn't agree with you more. No matter who is picked, there will be a bunch of "I told you so" after a mistake. Let's support whoever is picked and let's win some games! Go Bucs!
Let's be serious, it's the 1st overall pick, this pick can't be mariota, just can't be…Winston has been compared to luck, who was a definite number 1, who benefited from having a father who played in the league and was guided to that position smartly and carefully, he was a damn near can't miss and has lived up to it…Winston is that caliber of qb and has been under a hot lamp since that first Pitt blowout…he's handled everything very well and as we've seen with other weak minded qb's, handling adversity that will undoubtedly come over and over, I don't have that warm and fuzzy with mariota…if we take him, I'll support for sure, but I'll know that we didn't take the better qb for 2015 and beyond…mariota has been compared to Aaron Rodgers and I feel that Maybe an accurate comparison, draft and sit for a little while and possibly be a great qb one day with the right situation…the off the field stuff really isnt such big red flags that you pass Winston up…what has he really been guilty of that is so monstrous? he made some bad choices and believe me, who hasn't as a freshman and sophomore in college? We'll never get to see those who came before him and Manziel, but I'm absolutely positive that some of the top tier guys that are lauded as being some of the best men in the nfl today and yester year had some bumps in the road on their way to being upstanding men…Manziel and Winston have the fortune and misfortune of being bmoc when information and media can be put out instantly…no excuses for his mistakes, but in my 20yr experience in the Army, 17 of which has been as a leader, mentor, trainer, guide and sometimes father of some great men and women, you can't toss away a potential future leader, someone who has a ton of positives but made some mistakes early on or I wouldn't be a Master Sergeant today and a lot of the now senior nco's and warrant officers that I've led in the past would who are now leading others wouldn't be around…we need a qb big time, glennon isn't the guy or we wouldn't be having these Winston mariota debates…if we don't draft Winston I'd rather just trade back and stock pile…this is all just my opinion of course
I think that if winston is the bucs guy. Please Tampa build the team around him with OT. OG and another OC by way of the draft or Vet FA's.GO BUCS
I remember seeing Tom Brady with his shirt off at the Combine. Looked a tad soft.
Just read an article on Walter football. com that the Glazers are comfortable picking Winston if that is the pick. Well I guess that leaves the pick in LILO's hands and the interview process. This could be the beginning of something special in Tampa Bay!
Something similar!
Thanks Mac, similar but the Walter football.com article is a little more positive that the Glazers are on board to pick Winston.
I was just about to post this. And while it may not be true like I said, maybe the gkazers are tired of sucking
Here's the link if anyone wants to see it.
O.K., he looks like a black Sonny Jorgenson in that picture, who by the way for you younger viewers could sling the rock. I saw some other pics that were taken that day, that showed a slimmed down Winston from last season. The angle of the photo, with the tight waistband on, makes him look bad. Same sort of angles that make people think they sometimes see flying saucers. We'll all soon see him standing naked to the world. There's quiet leaders, there's vocal leaders. Bottom line, like with Montana, everyone loves, and follows a winner. Doesn't matter who you chew out, or who you pat on the head. Just win baby.
Saw the same thing surfer dude. It's just the way the pick was taken. I ain't going to lie though I laughed my ass off when is saw this pic.
I think one thing that you can take away from this is that Winston is not exhibiting poor judgement here before the draft (to this point). He's listening to people around him and he's doing whatever he can do to at least look like he's trying to become better. I think this is a good sign? e
It seems like Winston is doing the hard work to get prepared. Jim Harbaugh? Who knew?
Mac, Good info about Winston,happy to see he is putting in the extra work. I sure hope we pick this kid as he has the tools to be great. He looks like he has the desire to be a top QB and we sure could use one.

Salad (short for Letter Salad) is an efficient and flexible implementation of the well-known anomaly detection method Anagram by Wang et al. (RAID 2006). Salad is based on n-gram models, that is, data is represented as all of its substrings of length n. During training these n-grams are stored in a Bloom filter. This enables the detector to represent a large number of n-grams in little memory and still being able to efficiently access the data. Salad extends Anagram by allowing various n-gram types, a 2-class version of the detector for classification, and various model analysis modes.
