text: IF SOUTH Africa's surviving emerging construction companies were a patient, the ambience in the hospital ward would be intensely uptight. These companies are facing a financial crisis of sorts as local and provincial governments in some provinces allegedly continue to fail to pay them timeously for commissioned work. Small and medium-sized construction companies depend on government projects for survival. Late last month one of these companies, Sanyati, said it would be liquidated as it was owed millions of rands by the Free State and Limpopo provinces. It said 2 500 employees would lose their jobs. There are many other small construction companies that are closing down for the same reasons. Their cases are not as well publicised because they are privately owned. Sanyati's case became headline news because the medium-sized construction company is listed on the JSE, making it a public company. The late payment for completed work is adding insult to injury to these small and medium-sized construction firms, which are already feeling the pinch as the entire sector is in the doldrums. According to Industry Insight, a construction think-tank, the number of contracts awarded for construction sagged by 12% in June this year. Civil contracts have seen a 13% contraction during the period. The construction industry is still at a lower turning point of what was hoped to have been the start of a recovery period. The current slow pace at which contracts are awarded suggests difficult times will remain for longer than may have been anticipated. Unfortunately this, together with slowing overall economic activity, makes me think that the sector should expect even greater numbers of payment defaults in the months ahead, with further potential company closures. This means the number of voluntary liquidations in the construction industry in particular could surge as activity in this sector fails to take off. And local and provincial governments keep assigning work to these contractors, and allegedly failing to pay them on time. The voluntary liquidation of emerging companies in this sector has been an ongoing thing in this and other sectors. I first learnt about this problem when I was a Johannesburg-based construction correspondent 13 years ago. Since then, however, each effort by homegrown South African boffins to heal the bug of government's failure to pay up for work done on time has always generated no more than a brief remedy. Even more nerve-wracking is the fact that the relapses after each treatment are happening sooner and sooner. The emerging construction sector's chances of avoiding intensive care are receding to near vanishing point. This will also affect the national government's most important priority, job creation. Employment in construction has sagged by 4.4% year-on-year in first quarter of this year to 986 000. It was down 6.7% compared to the fourth quarter of last year. And the outlook for construction employment remains bleak, given the depressed conditions. The government will get a rude awakening when one of the big four construction companies collapses in a heap. The global financial crisis has taught us that no company is too big fail. - Fin24 * Follow Fin24 on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

The task of picking a web hosting plan might be an easy decision for some people. However, in regards to low-cost web hosting it may be of use to consider some essential thoughts and elements before finalizing any offer and making the selection.
Between hosting companies developing fierce day by day, with competition the situation can actually benefit the clients. Potential customers now have many choices options as well as the finest can be chosen through comparisons. It is important to consider some aspects that could ensure the finest results, though it has become simpler to select the cheapest yet dependable hosting providers.
One of the general and most typical characteristics of Hosting Economico companies is that few storage deals are offered by them. This is as it helps in avoiding confusion that is usually a result of too many packages. Also, nearly every one of the inexpensive hosting providers provide money back guarantee with their clients. This means that when clients are unsatisfied with the quality of service or help they're able to claim a re-fund of the complete sum as per the picked program.
Another of the factors when choosing any hosting strategy that is cost-effective would be to accept the fact of hosting, that a number of features need to be sacrificed. Many businesses provide affordable hosting packages since they have trimmed down the features to a few. To offer with this particular suitably a correct analysis of the plans is essential therefore that the needed features and the most important are included in the plan.
In spite of the reality that cheap internet hosting can be beneficial to get lots of folks it has been criticized by some. While the sharing of server space can jeopardize the operating of websites sometimes there might be concerns about the grade of support.

Ahh April Fool's. I even wrote my own post for that. Yayoi got the brilliant idea to tell Miyuki that she's transferring soon, but Miyuki ran off before she could say it was a joke. Honestly, I don't know who I blame more for this mess. The whole group catches wind of the lie, and everyone tries to comfort Yayoi – who was too quiet and shy to be able to tell them to stop talking and explain that it was a lie.Soon the entire class knew about it and threw her a congratulatory goodbye party, complete with a board of signatures. Welp. Really got out of hand there. Yayoi runs out and has the usual battle with the Red Oni, who "tricks" them by telling the Akanbe to do one attack and have it do the other.Really? Girls? You're gonna listen to what he says and act based on that? And calling him out on a "dirty trick"? It's a battle, use misinformation to your advantage! Hell, Cure Beat outright trolled the bad guys! Ellen's awesome <3 *cough* Ahem. Where was I? Oh right, Red Oni let the Cures discuss the lie for several minutes. Then yawns and whines about it instead of attacking when they were distracted. DUMBEST VILLAIN! EVER! INCLUDING ALL THAT CRAP GUILTY SHOE CHURNS OUT! Peace becomes determined and takes care of the Akanbe herself (YAY SOMEONE WHO'S NOT MIYUKI GETS THE SPOTLIGHT THIS TIME) while the other 4 Cures stand by looking dumb. Neither Beauty's intelligence nor March's speed kicked in to make any difference. Of course everyone makes up and is Ul~tu~ra Happy!
The lesson that Peace said is to not tell lies that hurt other people, but personally I say just don't tell any lies (unless you're skipping class/homework, but you didn't read that here). My April Fool's post outright says that it's a joke post at the bottom, though apparently people didn't scroll down to read it. And believe it or not I actually had many points I made by writing that post, some explicit and some unwritten.
The writing for the latter half of this episode didn't sit well with me again. The parts leading up to the battle were good, and I can easily believe someone like Yayoi being unable to tell the truth after being swept up in the momentum of the other four. The battle, however, was stupid. As previously mentioned, the Cures are crappy tacticians for falling for the misinformation, the Red Oni let them talk out the lie, and everyone becomes useless to give Yayoi a chance to shine.
Otherwise, it was pretty enjoyable (I feel like I say this every week, I don't know why but I just really like watching Smile even when it has stupid moments) and Yayoi's cuteness throughout the episode really made my day shine.

Opo is one of the coaches working with Egmont's Kenyan partner organisation, VAP (Vijana Amani Pamoja) in Nairobi, helping young people gain life skills through football. Here he shares his inspiring story and why he wants to fight the stigma surrounding HIV & AIDS.
Today I have this chance of reflecting and celebrating the life of the best friend I have ever had, the person who has shaped how I have viewed life since I was a young boy. Even though I did not get the chance to enjoy his company into adulthood, the experiences I have had with him gave me a better understanding of what life is and how to relate to other people. These experiences, that I treasure so much, give me the extra energy that I need as a coach when I intervene and advocate for positive behaviour change among my friends and young people in my community.

Picture: Jordan Roth Broadway opening night of Clybourne Park at the Walter Kerr Theatre Arrivals. New York City, USA 19.04.12
Katie Price finally confirmed that she and Argentinian model Leandro Penna are back together, by smooching with the 24-year-old in the back of a taxi this week. The couple had been enjoying a romantic dinner at Nobu Restaurant in London, before being snapped getting close as they left the swanky venue.
According to the UK's Sun newspaper, the 33-year-old former glamour model looked "somewhat under-dressed" for the celeb-friendly haunt, choosing to wear a plain grey t-shirt and white jogging trousers. According to the Daily Mail, Price had left her pink Range Rover outside their central London hotel instead of driving it to and from the restaurant - the vehicle certainly stood out right in front of the swanky residence. Nevertheless, the couple appear to be back to full strength, after splitting briefly last October after nine months together. They are even said to be contemplating marriage, and Katie has agreed to join her man on the Argentinian version of Strictly Come Dancing because she "can't bear to be away from him".
Previous stars to have competed on the South American equivalent - known for its far raunchier routines - include ex-Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and the boxing legend MIKE TYSON.

I had a fantastic time playing for Jennifer and Andrew's reception at the historic Elkridge Furnace Inn in Elkridge, Maryland this past Sunday. EFI is a great venue for a wedding reception, with the ability to host cocktail hour inside the historic main building and dinner and dancing under the large permanent tent beside it. The food is always great, and Becky the banquet manager is always a pleasure to work with. I knew this wedding was going to be great before I even showed up - Jennifer and Andrew had asked for a mix of latin jazz for cocktail hour, mellow reggae and calypso for dinner, and soul, disco, funk, reggae, and current pop for dancing. Despite being a relatively small gathering (around 80 people), I had practically everyone on the dancefloor almost immediately. I was excited to work with some great classic reggae that I don't get to play very often - Chaka Demus, Buju Banton, Capleton, Beenie Man - it was awesome... A large portion of their families and guests were of Jamaican descent, and were really into it too!
Best of all, Jennifer and Andrew were really sweet to work with. Plus, they hired the fabulous Michael Clark as their photographer, so we had a great time hanging out and catching up. Jennifer and Andrew, thanks for having me as a part of your special day!
Here are some great pictures, courtesy of Michael Clark Photographers:

I'm 47 years, and my boyfriend lives with me.
I've been very depressed and confused lately. I haven't had relations with my boyfriend for six months, due to his decreased libido.
He has seen the doctor who says it may stem from his high blood pressure and possibly his age, he is over 50.
I'm also trying to cope with loving myself. I have low self-esteem, and I want to please everybody; family, friends and strangers. But, at the end of the day, I'm sad.
I want some affection and attention from my man, and I want to learn how to love myself, too. What to do?

Using more than one program/network at a time?

I hope this is the best place to post this. I have used both networks and stand-alone progams as an affiliate and as a program manager.
I have a client who wants to do an in-house hosted affiliate program. I was wondering is there a way to also use an outside network to help build up affiliates faster? Are there issues with the tracking of 2 codes? Is there software to handle this? Is there a stand-alone program out there that already does this? Am I missing something in this concept.

Depending upon the network, they may have issues about you "pulling" affiliates out of your account and working with them directly. Is there a reason they want to go in-house? There are a few solutions out there which give you a turnkey product with access to network affiliates all at a reasonable price. Shareasale is getting a lot of good press here and they're cheaper than the big guys. Spend some money in the beginning and do it the right way, your client may not agree in the beginning but they'll thank you after they see the ROI.

Real Madrid defender Pepe will reportedly consider a move to Chelsea if his demands are not met at the Bernabeu.
The 33-year-old has been a Madrid player since his 2007 switch from Porto, and is believed to be looking for his final lucrative contract.
Reports have claimed that the Spanish giants have offered Pepe a one-year extension, but the Portugal international is holding out for a two-year contract.
According to The Mirror, the defender's advisers believe that Chelsea would be interested in making a move for Pepe should he become available.
The European Championship winner is free to talk to other clubs from January 1 as his current terms expire at the end of the season.

After completing a six-year tour of duty in the United States Navy, as a Sonar Technician, he completed the Ph.D. in Health Education & Promotion at The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Subsequently, he taught at Indiana University, Bloomington.
Upon returning to Jacksonville, he taught at the University of North Florida, Jacksonville, as an adjunct professor and served as Policy Research Associate with Duval County Health Department, Institute for Health Policy and Evaluation Research.

In the role of Quality Manager for the City of Jacksonville, Ryan White Part A Administrative Agency, two strategies influence Graham's work: identification of a program's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, (SWOT), followed by recommendations that aim for systematic improvement in the structure, processes, outputs, and outcomes of care and services within the organizational setting. Dr. Watts helps organizational leaders to formulate service improvement strategies by conceptualizing health services as a set of intentional knowledge, skills, and behaviors associated with the daily practice of service delivery. By demystifying the continuous improvement process, and rejecting excuses for substandard performance, Dr. Watts' professional mantra is—The sky is the limit, and success is within our grasp, if we have the right attitude coupled with knowledge, skills, and a supportive cast of committed and empowered change agents. The work of helping agencies to systematically develop this performance improvement culture liberates agencies and places them on a track to success.

I'm shooting with a D300. Oldschool, for sure!
Not a damn thing wrong with my 20D.

I shot a whole series of promo shots for Lenovo with a 30D and kit lens.
Is D40 old school or just lame school?
I guess it can't be old school if they still sell it new.
When I had one I preferred my 30 to my 40 now I need a 5DmkII to back up my 1DmkIII
ha, i have a 30d, it only gets u second place in the otap assignment though
buy the 50d and be like the cool kids
I have that lens.
Rebel XT/350D
this thread sucks
I like the 85mm 1.2L in that picture a lot more than the 30d
all good pics are shot with a nikon d90
everyone knows that
20D here
Only thing the 30D has going for it over the 20D is a bigger LCD. I would've saved a few bucks and bought the 20D instead.
I've had the 30d since the 40d came out. It's gotten lots of use.

A Thibodaux man accused of killing and decapitating his son in 2011 is scheduled for a Friday pre-trial hearing that was rescheduled after last month's ice storm.
A Thibodaux man accused of killing and decapitating his son in 2011 is scheduled for a Friday pre-trial hearing that was rescheduled after last month's ice storm.
Jeremiah Wright's competency now and at the time of the killing will be discussed during the hearing, said Kristine Russell, Lafourche Parish assistant district attorney.
Wright is charged with the first-degree murder of his 7-year-old son, Jori Lirette. The boy's severed head was found on Aug. 14, 2011, in the driveway of his home.
Wright, 32, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but in November was found mentally fit to stand trial.
The District Attorney's Office is also working on trials for a Cut Off man accused of killing a man lying in a driveway, a Houma man who allegedly killed a Lockport woman and her two daughters and a Thibodaux man who allegedly gunned down two men while they were sitting in a car.
A status conference in the second-degree murder case of Robert Chouest, 30, of Cut Off, is scheduled for Wednesday.
This is the last court appearance before his March 31 trial where both parties can discuss remaining issues including plea negotiations and whether the case will go to trial, Russell said.
Chouest is accused of shooting Shawn Galjour, 41, of Larose, once in the head with a scoped rifle last May while the victim was lying in a neighbor's driveway.
A status conference for David Brown, 34, of Houma, is scheduled for Feb. 18, and a Sept. 29 trial date has been set.
Brown is charged with the November 2012 murders of Jacquelin Nieves, 29, and her daughters, Gabriela, 7, and Izabela, 20 months.
Nieves and her two daughters were stabbed to death in their sleep in their Lockport apartment, which was later set on fire. Gabriela and her mother were raped.
A court date has yet to be scheduled for Alfred Starks, a 19-year-old Thibodaux resident.
Starks has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Tre Scott, 19, and Jordy Williams, 26, on Sept. 25. Scott and Williams were gunned down while sitting inside a car parked near Thibodaux Elementary School.
Starks had an initial pre-trial in January, which was continued on Feb. 4 and will resume March 6. This latest hearing could produce a trial date, Russell said.

When I was Internet Manager for a major car dealer, I compiled a list of the most common mistakes my customers made when buying new and pre-owned vehicles. These missteps cost consumers hundreds, and often thousands of dollars more than necessary. We'll look at these individually over the next few days.
For now, a quick tour of the top five mistakes car buyers make.
Mistake #1 – Not Starting Your Vehicle Search in Your Pajamas
If you're in your pajamas, you've got to be in the privacy of your home. And that's exactly where your vehicle search should begin. Too many consumers walk into their local car dealership browsing for a vehicle. Many are surprised to find that they drive home a few hours later in the biggest and best new vehicle available. And they don't have a clue if they paid too much.
Here's a tip: If you don't know if you paid too much for your new car, you can assume that you just paid hundreds, and probably thousands more than necessary.
Mistake #2 – Not Comparative Shopping
When I was Internet Manager for a major car dealer, one of the biggest mistakes I saw my customers make was walking into a dealership and expecting to find they car they wanted, negotiate the price, and drive home in the same day. You are not only going to pay too much for your vehicle shopping this way, but your stress level will go through the roof.
Mistake #3 – Not Getting Pre-approved on Your Car Loan
Car dealers have numerous profit points where they expect to make money. This is one reason they can sell a new car for cost—or even at a loss—and still make money on the deal. Adding a few percentage points to your car loan is a lucrative profit center for the dealership, but it can cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars over the term of your car loan.
Mistake #4 - Pre-negotiate Only the Selling Price
May consumers work very hard at getting the best selling price possible, and then they relax. That's a big mistake. The selling price is just one area where car dealers make a profit. Do you realize that the interest rate on your car loan may be negotiable? What about the trade-in value? Or, do you want an extended warranty? A better security system? Not pre-negotiating these items can cost you a ton of money.
Mistake #5 – Not Working as Hard on the Trade Value as the Selling Price
The Internet has changed how we buy cars. It's no longer that big of deal to buy a vehicle at the dealer's invoice cost or below. This has resulted in a dealer's profit margin being reduced from the glory days. One area they can make up that lost profit is by giving less for a customer's trade-in.
Don't go to sleep on the value of your trade. Not doing proper research in this area can literally cost you thousands of dollars more than necessary.
Stay Tuned
I'll take an in-depth look at each of these top five mistakes over the next week with the idea of you keeping more of your hard-earned cash in your pocket. We begin with Mistake #1 – Not Starting Your Vehicle Search in Your Pajamas tomorrow.

Creative Display and Protection for Products!
Foam Inserts
Foam Inserts are a great way to fill space inside the box while adding flair to your packaging! It is important that your products stands out from your competitor. In addition, all foams are anti-corrosive and can be sized and die cut to precisely cradle and protect your products. In addition, many customers choose the pink foam for its cost effectiveness. However, black is preferrable for its display qualities, variety of densities, and elegance. Foams are available in 1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ thickness.
Foam inserts provide cushion for lots of different items like:
- Jewelry
- Animal calls
- First-Aid kits
- Cosmetics kits
- Microchips
- Electronic components
- Scientific laboratories
- Dental laboratories
- Floppy & Zip diskettes
- Sports card collections
- Tie rider and lapel pins
- Nuts & Bolts
- Tooling
- Circuits
- Tool holders
- Small parts
- Beads & craft items
- Small bottles
- Gauges
- Microfilm
- Paper tape
- Product samples
Benefits for using Foam Inserts
- Pop of Color
- Space filler
- Nestle a product
- Protection of a product
- Pre-cut to your size box
- You select thickness and color
- Polyethylene Foam Standard
- Other options: Ether or Antistatic Foam
Foam Options:
- Precut Foam to fit this box is available in 1/8″ increments (1/8″ up to 1-1/2″).
- Foam colors are: Black, Gray, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Dark Green, Blue, Yellow
- Pink – Antistatic
Since our static dissipative foam is manufactured from polyethylene, pink is highly correlated with ESD protection. Furthermore, it contains an additive that continually migrates to the surface of the foam. This creates an anti-static layer that both dissipates electronic charges and repels dust. In addition, some key characteristics are its long lifespan, uniform thickness and durability.
Also, our low density black conductive foam is manufactured from polyurethane. It is non-corrosive, displays antistatic properties even in humid conditions and has an indefinite lifespan. Especially relevant are the features that protect components from vibrations and physical shocks during handling.
Finally, both the medium density and high density black conductive foams are made using nitrogen gas. Because of that, it renders them C.F.C. free and H.C.F.C. free. Also, purity and anti-sloughing characteristics earn them a leading position in the electronics industry. Both are non-corrosive and engineered specifically for use in electronics industries.

It's November 25th. I haven't posted anything since August 29th and that's pretty bad. If you try to find those posts, I'm afraid they are not around anymore. Time to start fresh ... again.
I stopped writing because the last post I had up talked about how depressed I was at my job and how I was basically bullied by my boss while working in an extremely toxic environment. My boss started treating me worse and I realized that she had stumbled upon my blog and read my post. Then it got even worse at work.
Luckliy I found a new job in September and handed in my immediate resignation. No goodbyes for her at all.
I am beyond happy at my new job and cannot tell you how amazing it is to be treated as a human being again, instead of a mindless machine. That being said, it's time to start writing again and get back into a positive mindspace in my creative life.
I promise to keep writing here and am also thinking about writing about the unsung heroes in the film industry over the years, and am wondering if I should do so on here or try another blog stictly for that.
Me thinks I should get cracking on maintaining *this* blog first and then ... well, we'll see won't we?

Alfred Marshall, an English economist, is widely regarded as the founder of the neoclassical school of economics. This school of thought, which followed the classical economists (Smith, Ricardo, and Mill, among others), gave a more balanced role to supply and demand as determinants of price, took more of an interest in the role of money, and greatly extended the role of marginal analysis. Marshall was born near London. His father, a clerk at the Bank of England, wanted his son to become a clergyman, but young Alfred was more interested in mathematics. After graduating from St. John's College at Cambridge, he lectured there for several years. When he married one of his former students in 1877, he had to leave Cambridge because of the celibacy requirements in force at the time. Marshall taught at University College, Bristol, and then at Oxford University, before returning to Cambridge in 1884 (the celibacy requirement having been lifted). Marshall did not publish extensively, but one book was outstanding. His "Principles of Economics," the first of a planned two-volume work, appeared in 1890. An instant success, it established Marshall as one of the world's leading economists. Its strength lay in its comprehensiveness and the degree to which it incorporated previous developments, along with Marshall's own observations, in a seamless fashion. The book was full of now familiar terms, such as consumer surplus, long- and short-run analysis, and external economies. The second volume, intended to cover the topics of foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, and taxation, was never published because of Marshall's failing health and his penchant for exhaustive revision. He did, however, publish a less comprehensive volume, "Industry and Trade" (1919). A final volume, "Money, Credit and Commerce" (1923), was less ambitious and less creative. Despite his frail health, which troubled him throughout his career, Marshall lived to the ripe old age of 81. His stature was such that he is credited with founding a "Cambridge School of Economics," and his few publications forever changed the world of economics.

Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center Grows with its Community
$88 million investment reflects Alegent Health's support of the North/Northwest Omaha Community
OMAHA, Neb. – In just two years nearly 10,000 people and dozens of businesses will be moving into northwest Omaha. Many of the young families buying new houses in new neighborhoods will need direct access to health care services close to home. Alegent Health will again take the lead on addressing the area's growing needs at a May 8, 2008 groundbreaking ceremony at Immanuel Medical Center. The 10:30 a.m. celebration will mark the beginning of an $88 million construction and renovation project that will expand and enhance the hospital and services it provides.
For more than 120 years, Immanuel Medical Center provided a beacon of hope and healing for community that surrounds it. "We are proud to serve this community and those coming to us from other parts of the country and the world," said Ann Schumacher, vice president and chief operating officer for Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center. "We're not going anywhere."
Called "Generation Patient," the construction and renovation at Immanuel Medical Center is part of a system-wide commitment to deliver the next generation of patient-centered care in environments that promotes healing while honoring the dignity of our patients and their families. "Converting our semi-private rooms to private rooms will give families the space they need to help promote healing," said Schumacher. "Our goal is to continue building on Immanuel's legacy of providing care for even the most complex patients in the community, and families play a big part of that, said Schumacher."
Among the highlights of Generation Patient:
Immanuel's multi-million dollar project is part of Alegent Health's $315 million reinvestment into the Omaha metropolitan area. Supported by generous philanthropy initiatives at all five Alegent Health metro hospital locations will be enhanced and expanded to better serve health care consumers in the region. Construction and renovation plans began last year at the organization's three other metro hospitals including Bergan Mercy Medical Center, Lakeside Hospital and Midlands Hospital in Papillion. Alegent Health Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa is scheduled to begin its renovation in June. Plans for the medical centers stem from a comprehensive, year-long initiative involving physicians, staff, patients and the community to identify local needs and forge a cohesive, regional system of health care in which each hospital plays a unique role in achieving world-class quality and value.
"Alegent Health is guided by our Mission to place our patients in the center of all we do. Coupled with the knowledge that our inpatient volumes have grown by 16 percent in the last four years, it's caused us to reinvest in the community and provide innovative solutions in health care, the latest medical technology, and the highest quality of care. As we enter the next generation of health care, Alegent Health will continue its commitment to meeting the needs, wants and desires of our patients today and in the future," said Alegent Health CEO Wayne Sensor.
Alegent Health has selected Holland Basham Architects, headquartered in Omaha, in partnership with HKS of Dallas, Texas, as architectural partners for the entire Generation Patient project. Meyers-Carlisle-Leapley (MCL), headquartered in Omaha, and McCarthy, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., will serve as the general contractors for construction.
Alegent Health is the largest not-for-profit, faith-based health care system in Nebraska and southwestern Iowa with nine acute care hospitals, more than 100 sites of service, some 1,300 physicians on its medical staff and 9,000 employees. Alegent Health is making health care better with an exceptional commitment to quality and by providing patient-focused care for the body, mind and spirit of every person consistent with its faith-based mission. Alegent Health continues the health ministry begun by its sponsors, Catholic Health Initiatives and Immanuel Health Systems, more than 100 years ago.

"A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING" My rating: B+
97 minutes | MPAA rating: R
Tom Tykwer's "A Hologram for the King" begins with what appears to be a music video.
Tom Hanks, in suit and tie, is moving through a suburban neighborhood singing the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime." As he cover the song's lyrics — "You may find yourself looking for your large automobile; you may find yourself without a beautiful house, without a beautiful wife…" –those objects of middle-class American happiness and stability vanish in clouds of garish purple smoke.
What the hell kind of movie is this, anyway?
Well, it's a pretty great one, actually, although its charms are slow in developing.
That musical interlude, it turns out, is a dream that businessman Alan Clay (Hanks) is having while napping on a jet bound for Saudi Arabia. He awakens to find himself in the middle of an Islamic religious ceremony. He's the only person on board not dressed in white and making a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Alan, whose career and marriage both have hit rock bottom, is trying to start over. He's landed a job with a huge American telecommunications firm and is en route to Saudi Arabia to make a presentation of his firm's latest technical innovation, a communications system that allows callers to converse with a life-size, three-dimensional hologram of the person on the other end of the line. The Saudi king will personally choose the winning bid; the job will be worth millions.
Being a can-do sort of guy and a born salesman, Alan hopes to reverse his business fortunes. Things aren't so easily fixed in the marriage department. His ex wife hates his guts. Mostly Alan feels guilty because he can no longer pay for college for his adoring daughter (Tracey Fairaway), who has dropped out and taken a job waitressing.
From the minute he touches down, things start going wrong. Alan has a killer case of jet lag and keeps missing the shuttle to the city of the future out in the desert where he's to make his presentation. The Saudi bigwigs with whom he is supposed to meet have made themselves scarce and the three American technicians already on site are working out of a huge tent where there's no wi-fi, inadequate air conditioning, and nothing to eat.
It's going to be a disaster. Except that it also may be the greatest experience of Alan Clay's life.

"BRIDGE OF SPIES" My rating: B+
142 minutes | MPAA rating: PG-13
Tom Hanks' singular status as this century's James Stewart pays off big time in "Bridge of Spies," Steven Spielberg's recreation of one of the Cold War's lesser known stories.
As the real-life James Donovan, a New York insurance lawyer pulled into the world of espionage and international intrigue, Hanks is wry, moving, and astonishingly ethical. He practically oozes bedrock American decency.
Which was precisely what this movie needs.
The screenplay by the Coen Brothers and Matt Charman runs simultaneously on four tracks.
In the first Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) is arrested in NYC in 1957 by federal agents. As no lawyer wants to represent him, the Bar Association basically plays spin the bottle — and assigns the job to Donovan.
Jim Donovan believes that every accused person deserves the best defense possible. In fact, he alienates the judge, the feds, and the general public by standing up for his client's rights and assuming that this is going to be a fair trial when everybody else wants just to go through the motions before sentencing Abel to death.
On a parallel track is the story of Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell), a military flyboy recruited for a top-secret project and trained to spy on the U.S.S.R. from a one-man U-2 reconnaissance aircraft. Alas, on his very first mission in 1960 he's shot down, fails in an attempt to commit suicide, and falls into the hands of the Commies.
Then there's the arrest in 1961 of Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers), an American grad student studying economics who finds himself trapped on the wrong side of the newly constructed Berlin Wall and vanishes into the labyrinthine East German justice system.
All this comes to a head when Donovan, several years after Abel's conviction, is dispatched to Berlin in an ex officio capacity to arrange a swap of the Soviet spy for Francis Gary Powers. And if in the process he can somehow free Fred Pryor from a damp cell, so much the better.
The yarn is so big and dramatic that it seems improbable…yet it happened. (What's more, a few years later Donovan was dispatched to Cuba to negotiate the release of anti-Communists captured in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion.)

"SAVING MR. BANKS" My rating: B+ (Opening wide on Dec. 20)
125 minutes | MPAA rating: PG-13
"Saving Mr. Banks" — a serio-comic look at Walt Disney's tireless courtship of "Mary Poppins" author C. L. Travers — can be viewed either as a charming explanation of how one of the best family films of all time came to be made, or as an infuriating example of corporate self aggrandizement.
While cognizant of the latter, I'll go with the former.
The latest from director John Lee Hancock ("The Rookie," "The Blind Side") is set during Travers' two-week visit to L.A. in the early 1960s, arranged so that Disney — who more than two decades before had sworn to his wife and daughters that he would bring their favorite heroine of children's literature to the screen — could coax, canjole and charm the dubious author into signing over the movie rights to her books.
Disney was nothing if not determined. Without authorization he had been working for years on the a screenplay and his in-house tunesmiths — brothers Robert and Richard Sherman — already had written the songs for what would be one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time.

"CAPTAIN PHILLIPS" My rating: B (Opens wide on Oct. 11)
134 minutes | MPAA rating: PG-13
Tom Hanks' near-uncanny ability to build a compelling Every Man character out of minimal substance is put to good use in "Captain Phillips," director Paul Greengrass's tension-charged recreation of a real-life 2009 hijacking of an American freighter in the Indian Ocean.
Capt. Richard Phillips, the main player in the incident and in this film, is a somewhat controversial character. He was hailed as a hero after Navy Seals rescued him from the lifeboat on which he was being held by four Somali pirates.
But since then members of his crew have sued Phillips for what they say was a reckless disregard for their safety by insisting on navigating close to the Somali coast – thus saving time and money – rather than plotting a course further out to sea.
Hanks and Greengrass have it both ways. We see early on that Phillips can be something of a tough captain – not a Queeg-ish martinet, exactly, but forceful enough to irritate some of his crewmen. But he's also a resourceful fellow looking out for his men in a crisis.
It's hard to say precisely what sort of a guy he is. "Captain Phillips" lives mostly in the moment, and we don't learn a whole lot about our protagonist except when he's under the gun.
Early on we see him driving to the airport with his wife (Catherine Keener, filmed so obliquely she's hardly recognizable) and we learn that he's married with a couple of college-age kids. And that's about it.
Under most circumstances this would result in a movie with a hole where its center should be. But Tom Hanks fills the void with his own star presence. And it pretty much works.

"EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE" My rating: B (Opening Jan. 20)
129 minutes | MPAA rating: PG-13
I was prepared to be irritated by "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close." And I was.
This is a movie about a too-cute kid (he may or may not be autistic) who after losing his father in the 9/11 attack goes on a borough-to-borough scavenger hunt throughout NYC, attempting to solve the final conundrum left by his puzzle-posing papa.
This yarn has an off-the-charts potential for preciousness.
And yet by the end, Stephen Daldry's film adaptation of Jonanthan Safran Foer's novel had me by the throat and the tear ducts.
This puts your humble critic in an uncomfortable position. My left brain is telling me, "Aren't you ashamed?" My right brain is saying, "Yeah, but it feels so good."

"LARRY CROWNE" My rating: C (Opens wide on July 1)

"Larry Crowne" is so slight a romantic comedy that it's hardly even there.
It's not unpleasant. It has moments of lightweight charm.
But given the powerhouse potential of stars Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks (more…)

Berlin proves to be more than just a decadent delight of bars and clubs for a bunch of lads on tour
When a bunch of my buddies and I began to bounce the idea of a weekend break around, it didn't take long until the usual boozy hotspots cropped up: Malia, Ayia Napa and the Balearics to name but a few. After trading a few dodgy ideas, one bright spark amongst us suggested the German capital, Berlin.
I'd heard good things about Berlin from fellow students and budding city explorers alike. Rumour had it that once you'd been to this emerging metropolis of cool, you'd never be the same again. Along with my fellow explorers, I was keen to put this bold statement to the test.
Where to stay
Berlin plays host to a great number of lavish hotels, such as the Grand Hyatt located in the extremely post-modern Potsdamer Platz, an entirely new district of the city constructed after the wall came down in 1999. However, as smelly students, we were under little disillusionment that staying in one of the city's many hostels would be the shrewdest decision. We opted for the Meininger hostel, located on Hallesches Ufer, which catered for our party of eight at approximately £10 each per night.
Overall, and considering the cost, the eight bed dorm we called home for the next three nights was sufficient and provided all the amenities we'd require i.e. an en-suite bathroom, bunk-beds and secure storage lockers. Furthermore, the hostel offered a guest kitchen, internet access and a bar, which never seemed to open. However, one couldn't help thinking that, as the Meininger hostels are a chain, it would've been nice to stay in onethat communicated more personality as well as an edible breakfast.
I'd argue that the single, most unavoidable expense during any city break is the cost of travel. A silent assassin that gradually drains your holiday spending without you realising. Fortunately, for €22, one can purchase a travel card which gives 72 hours of unrestricted access to the city's various travel links.
Hopping from Berlin's incredibly efficient tube system (U-Bahn), to the various surface rail (S-Bahn) and bus connections was simple and stress-free. Be warned though, whilst the city doesn't operate any formal method of ticket inspection, plain-clothes inspectors operate on the more popular travel routes, regularly checking tickets and dishing out hefty fines to those who've tried to cheat the system.
It's a known fact that lads can't function properly without a belly full of food. Luckily, Berliners seem all too aware of this and provide more opportunities to fill your face than you'd think possible. A place of culinary choice was Alexanderplatz, a large public square occupied by an overwhelmingly huge TV tower. Amongst the standard food-chains, we found a number of eateries such as Gaststättes, the German equivalent to a gastro-pub and many an Imbiss or take-away, serving traditional German fare at exceptionally reasonable prices. The countless bars and restaurants around Hakescher Markt and Oranienburger Strasse served great food and bar snacks until late and with exceptional care and consideration. With such varied choice, we'd often try a different resturant in this area for lunch and dinner. For those more adventerous than myself, it'd be worth trying the national dish of Currywurst, a boiled, curried sasuage.
To truly test whether rumour was true and Berlin could change a man forever, we knew we had to check out the city's vibrant and trend-defining club scene. It seemed apparent that the newly developed West-side of Berlin (including Hakescher Markt) contained all your commercial clubs and bars, I'd recommend a swift half in the Irish Bar underneath Hakescher Markt's S-Bahn station. However, to gain a true taste of Berlin's brilliant nightlife; you have to go west. Kreuzberg, located south of the Mitte area, is awash with hip and trendy bars, clubs and the odd not-so-secret warehouse rave. The old industrial town, which now houses Berlin's bohemian dwellers, still boasts it's old Eastern Bloc architecture making it an edgy and theatrical spot to enjoy a glass of German beer.
It soon became apparent that Berliners love to party and they love to party as late as possible. Berlin nightlife starts sturring at about 11pm, with the top clubs such as Tresor (www.tresorberlin.de) and Watergate not opening until midnight. It's in these minimalistic clubs where you can expect to be immersed in the city's own brand of techno music. For those who truly want to experience Berlin club-culture then the iconic Berghain and Panorama Bar is a must. Located in a disused power plant in Freidrichshain, this club isn't for the faint hearted and operates are renowned door-policy to ensure only the most hedonistic revel in its historic status.
We never intended, or wanted, our trip to Berlin to be solely about the club culture. Thankfully with a city steeped in such a prolific history we had no choice but to spend our days soaking in the magnificent architecture and museums on offer. The Brandenburg Gate, situated a few kilometers from our hostel, made for great photo oppurtunities, as did the famous Checkpoint Charlie situated on Friedrichstrasse. The city contains over 160 museums but a must on short visits is the powerful Jewish Museum (www.jmberlin.de) on Lindenstrasse, which charts over 2000 years of jewish history within an aesthetically astounding piece of architecture.
On the whole, Berlin made for a brilliant weekend excursion: offering attractions to suit the need of any tourist. The city was welcoming and diverse with an indescribable depth and attraction. I can't explain why, but I completely understand why many would argue that once you've been, you'll never be the same again.

Review of "PC World (Shop)"
"Cautious buyers only"
I never usually went for 'computer shops' before. It's not that the prices are too much higher than buying from a mail order catalogue, although this is often the case, but that the salespeople often treat you as some sort of cattle, waiting to be prodded in the right direction.However, on this occassion PC World were advertising on television and had one of their many infamous sales, where supposedly everything had been knocked down so low in price that you could probably have got away with buying 10 computers and still have change left from a 100 pound. If only this were so!
The first thing I noticed was that if I didn't say anything to the staff about my knowledge of computers, they treated me as a beginner and took me through each stage of the hardware maze that is the PC market. This was suprisingly well ochestrated and the sales assistant did know what they were on about, always a good sign! They did the honest thing of asking what I actually needed the PC for, then tried to sell me something that was a bit beyond what I was actually testing them for. This is a normal trait in most high street stores, but it's still a sad sight to behold.After going out of the store and coming back to another member of the sales staff (each one hungry for their commission, no doubt) I lifted my mask to uncover my true computer knowledge and was pleasantly suprised by the staff member, who treated me like an equal. He helped me put a good package together, and I even twisted his arm to knock something off the price if I bought certain items! (it's always possible to do this, no matter how much they insist that the prices are all fixed.)
The actual prices were pretty good for a high street style store, but obviously couldn't match their mail order counterparts. The bonus here is that if you have a PC World near you they are pretty good at helping out with problems, and I can testify that their replacement scheme is also pretty good as well.So my advice would be to read plenty of PC magazines and get at least a small amount of working knowledge of PCs before you enter the shop. The ideal solution would be to go in with a firm knowledge of what you actually want and an idea of the different makes and models. Do go in and browse, then come back later, cooling off periods are always a good way to keep a level head in situations where lots of zeros are involved.
PC World is a great place for the cautious and prepared, but the staff are trained to make you want to buy something slightly bigger than what you really need, so be ready!

Enjoy Your Golden Years Without Pain
Making it to your retirement years and being able to enjoy some time spent with family,
traveling, or pursuing hobbies and passion
ns you never had time for, is quite an accomplishment. After working for your entire adult life to
raise a family and make a life for yourself, you deserve to be able to enjoy your golden years.
But with more than 45 million Americans suffering from arthritis, and the majority of those
being over age 60, chances are that your time now may be spent fighting to manage the pain in
your elbows, knees, hands, or other joints.
Why the Usual Advice Doesn't Work
When a person is first diagnosed with arthritis, they'll be given a series of typical advice for
managing the pain and (hopefully) delaying further loss of mobility. This advice usually
· Exercising the affected area often to keep mobility.
· Getting exercise in general, to stop the onset of other types of arthritis.
· Using hot and cold therapy to help reduce pain and swelling.
· Using over-the-counter medications to reduce pain.
In some cases, surgery or intensive physical therapy routines may be necessary down the road.
But none of these treatments actually work to help you enjoy your golden years, for one
important reason: they don't address the cause. These treatments are only responses to the effects
of arthritis, which means they won't do anything to keep the knees or elbows healthy long term.
A Better Way
At Texas Cell Institute, we offer a better way. While there is no known cure for arthritis, there
are some treatments that are so effective, they may as well be a cure. For example, with our PRP
therapy for elbow pain, Dallas retirees can actually experience a totally pain-free existence, with
much better mobility, in just a few weeks after receiving the PRP treatment. The same goes for
other areas of the body. We also offer PRP therapy for knees. Dallas retirees don't have to suffer
through their perfect retirement years; instead, they can enjoy pain-free living.
What is PRP?
PRP therapy is a type of stem cell treatment. The plasma that is in your blood is rich with stem
cell platelets that help blood clot. This characteristic also causes damaged tissue to regenerate,
meaning that if you were to take some healthy plasma from the blood stream, and inject it
directly into the elbow or knee where the pain is caused, your body could replace old,
degenerated tissue, and effectively create a brand new joint.
While this may not be a total cure – whatever caused your original tissue to break down could
still affect the new tissue – most patients report after six to nine months that their knees and
elbows have never felt better!
Other Treatments
In addition to PRP, Texas Cell Institute also offers other stem cell treatments for chronic pain
conditions and arthritis. For example, bone marrow stem cell therapy involves withdrawing stem
cells from the bone marrow in a patient's hip, and injecting those cells into the injured site.
None of these treatments are intended to be quick fixes to end the pain right away. In fact, you
may experience a heightened level of pain for the first day or two after the injections. But once
the body begins to regenerate the tissue with the new stem cells, the pain will fade quickly, and
you'll notice better mobility and better strength in the joint compared to before the treatment.
Risks with Stem Cell Treatment
Elderly patients are particularly prone to infection in any type of medical procedure; however,
there are several things that make stem cell therapies much less risky. First, the injection is
derived from their own bodies, so there is little chance of the body rejecting the injection.
Second, there are minimally invasive surgeries or other procedures at work. In fact, PRP therapy
often takes less than half an hour from start to finish. Finally, Texas Cell Institute hires only the
best accredited surgical staff, and keeps all medical areas fully sterilized to reduce the risk of
Enjoy a Pain-Free Retirement
You've worked hard to get to your retirement years. You shouldn't spend them in pain. If you
are experiencing knee, elbow, back, hand, or other pain, get in touch with us right away for a
consultation. Our office can be reached at 972-668-9612. While there are some cases in which a
patient would not be a good candidate for our services, most of the time, we can help you get rid
of arthritis pain once and for all.

Develop into a Google Licensed Educator and learn how to use the newest FREE educational instruments and programs through Google for Education. A 12 months later, in August 2012, Save Our Colleges convened once more in Washington, this time with the aim of holding a People's Conference, stuffed with workshops and discussion in regards to the need for continued action and motion constructing to preserve and broaden public education. Green Giant has joined the group of producers which are serving to with SUPPORT via box tops for education in helping our colleges be funded to teach our youngsters. Expertise performs an more and more vital function in enhancing access to education for folks living in impoverished areas and developing international locations Charities like One Laptop computer per Little one are dedicated to providing infrastructures by which the disadvantaged could access educational materials. Normal college refers back to the higher secondary faculty-stage trainer education institutions which were operated earlier than 1961 in Korea.
Because that's the primary differentiator immediately, education is becoming more about ways of considering; involving creativity, vital considering, drawback solving and determination making; about ways of working, together with communication and collaboration; about instruments for working, and that features not simply the capability to use technology but to recognise its potential for brand new ways of working; and, last however not least, it is in regards to the social and emotional skills that assist folks live and work together.
Very like a sin-filled homosexual have to be forcibly introduced again to rightful conduct, American education may be forced to be The Method I Assume It is Supposed To Be. We will serve the chosen of us by giving them the chance to rise as God needs them to, we can provide their children the opportunity to get a correct education with the proper folks, and we may give Those Folks a possibility to develop into compliant, helpful instruments for the people who needs to be correctly running the nation.
Kozol begins by focusing on the damaging nature of the present testing mania imposed on youngsters, academics and schools within the poorest communities; the inequality between rich and poor schools; and the way present education reform insurance policies outcome in the resegregation of black and brown children in our education system and are in impact perpetrating major civil and human rights violations on our most vulnerable children.
In any case, it is extremely exciting and encouraging to suppose that we will couple Ethnic Studies (that already consists of bilingual/dual language education) with rising our own critically acutely aware lecturers to actually teach and develop the curriculum that we're devising. I knew from my education and expertise with supporting my son, who has dyslexia (a language based mostly problem), that the best kind of instruction would have involve an specific, systematic, structured, sequential and a multisensory approach to studying. We plan to publish a group that includes a lot of short, autobiographical, and personal reflections on the past, current and way forward for the Society and on the analysis discipline of history of education extra typically.
