In week 6, we have a special Discussion Group run in conjunction with our primary sponsor, Atass Sports. This week, Richard Hill will come and discuss the topic of Predicting Football Results, on Monday 11th Feb at 6pm in MS.01.
This topic is suitable for first years and above.
For as long as there has been competitive football, spectators have tried to predict match outcomes in advance - both for entertainment and for financial gain. However, only with the development of modern statistical techniques (coupled with advances in computing) has it become possible to build sophisticated forecasting models that can accurately assess the probability of each possible scoreline. The output of such models can be compared against the "market view" expressed by traders on an online betting exchange, thereby highlighting promising betting opportunities.
The Warwick Maths Society is sponsored by Atass Sports. For more information on Atass, and for opportunities for internships and graduate programmes, visit Atass-Sports.co.uk or contact Richard Hill at email@example.com

The Winnipeg Jets are about to finish training camp and start the 2013-14 NHL Season. As of this writing, the Jets are just about at their 23-man roster for opening night.
With that in mind, there's just cause to check out the status of the team as they go into opening night.
Now by and large, the Winnipeg Jets didn't do much that was surprising when it came to their roster selections. We knew guys like Eddie Pasquale were going to be headed to St. John's because of contracts, or others like Nic Petan just weren't quite ready for prime time (though he's incredibly close).
The two biggest surprises so far, though, are around two would-be rookies - Patrice Cormier and Adam Lowry. Again, as of this writing Cormier is still alive on the roster, though he really shouldn't be.
Through the five games he played in, Patrice Cormier has one goal on four shots and a plus-1 rating. Lowry missed a significant portion of the pre-season with an upper body injury, but looked impressive against the Edmonton Oilers and turned heads during the Young Stars games.
Now I'm not saying that Lowry is the greatest thing to happen to the Winnipeg Jets since the original incarnation welcomed Teemu Selanne, but he's a lot better than the 23-year-old Cormier, who like Adam Lowry is on a two-way contract. I'm actually expecting the Winnipeg Jets to switch the two a couple times eatly in the season between the River City and The Rock, but Lowry should be given the rookie tryout time first.
With that said, there's also a bit of a question mark on Mark Scheifele in my mind, albeit he's in a more stable spot, having performed extremely well. I don't expect him to be cut going into NHL regular season play, but he might go up and down as well.
The only rookie that seems destined for a full NHL season at this point is Jacob Trouba. Trouba has three assists in six NHL preseason games, and haws looked mature beyond his years. He should be a lock to not only make the team, but gain a top six spot with the squad. That means that someone like Paul Postma will see more limited time while last year's wunderkid-before-injury, Zach Redomond, may start off the year in the AHL.
So looking at the Winnipeg Jets' overall picture, you've got two, maybe three Calder candidates going into the 2013-14 NHL season, with Trouba or Scheifele looking strongest. There's still some nervous days ahead as the final cuts are made, but this may be the best season for Winnipeg Jets rookies since the days of the 1992-93 quad of players - Teemu Selanne, Alexei Zhamnov, Evgeny Davydov and Keith Tkachuk. There's no question - youth is here in Winnipeg and they're ready to impress the Jets faithgul

Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club
Despite releasing just one album over a decade together, Breakfast Club will always have a place in the history books as the band that featured two of Madonna's ex-boyfriends -- drummer Stephen Bray and singer Dan Gilroy -- as well as the Material Girl herself, for a short time in her pre-fame days. The New York-based group formed in the late '70s, around the core of Gilroy and his guitarist brother, Ed. By 1979, the lineup featured bassist Angie Schmit and Madonna on drums, but Madonna left after reportedly angling for the lead vocalist's job. She would next go on to form her own band, Emmy, with her old Michigan friend Bray as the drummer and Gary Burke (who was also playing at the same time with the Gilroys) on bass. Madonna eventually began marketing herself as a solo act in the early '80s, armed with songs she and Bray had co-written, and that spelled the end of Emmy. But after the group dissolved, Bray joined the Gilroys and Burke in Breakfast Club, and the quartet signed to Ze Records. Despite Madonna's escalating stardom and the obvious chance at some residual success for Breakfast Club, no recordings surfaced, however, and the group later signed with MCA. The band's eponymous first album was released in early 1987, preceded by the Top 40 hit "Right on Track." Dan Gilroy and Bray wrote most of the nine songs and Bray also added his production expertise to several of the catchy pop and R&B numbers, but his golden touch with Madonna (for whom he'd co-written and produced several hits) didn't quite carry over. Two further singles, "Never Be the Same" and a cover of the old Gamble-Huff composition "Expressway to Your Heart," dented the lower reaches of the charts, but the band's second album wasn't released and Breakfast Club broke up shortly afterward. ~ Dan LeRoy, Rovi

Meningitis B vaccine to be licensed
Related Articles
Published: 17 November 2012
The disease, which is the most common and deadliest form of meningitis in the country, affects an average of 1,870 people a year, many of them children, and results in death for one in 10 sufferers.
The approval of the new 4CMenB vaccine, which is developed by pharmaceutical company Novartis, has been hailed as the "biggest leap forward in the field in the three decades" by the charity Meningitis UK.
It has received a "positive opinion" verdict from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), meaning that the vaccine is considered safe and effective.
It will be the first Meningitis B vaccine approved for use in the UK, which has one of the highest incidence rates in the world.
One in four sufferers are left with life changing after- effects, such as brain damage and limb loss, with children under five most at risk from the disease. It can sometimes kill babies and toddlers in under four hours.
The charity said the next stage will be to give the vaccine - trade name Bexsero - a marketing licence, with 99% of positive opinions lead to a licence for use. It is expected to receive its UK licence early next year.
Meningitis UK wants the vaccine to be introduced into the Government's routine immunisation schedule as soon as possible, so it will be automatically given to children. The jab is recommended for those aged two months and older.
Meningitis UK founder Steve Dayman, who lost his baby son to meningitis and septicaemia in 1982, said: "This is a landmark moment in the fight against meningitis - I have waited three decades to hear this.
"It is vital that the vaccine is introduced in the UK immunisation schedule as soon as possible. It will save countless lives and prevent many people enduring the suffering caused by this devastating disease. We will be campaigning hard to make the Government introduce it."

Have you Hired Snowden?
I have had a LOT of discussions with people over the past year about Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the impact on cloud adoption. My general response is that it would likely slow US adoption of the cloud by a few months and outside the US by a couple of years.
Well, it has be six months since this all started and I was starting to wonder about how this was panning out. Then Computerword kindly published a piece stating that Chief Information Officers (CIOs) were sticking with the cloud despite the NSA.
While 20 CIOs are in no way a fair sample size, even if they are geographically dispersed, they did raise several excellent points.
Internal Threats
The best point was that the NSA was thwarted by an internal resource. The NSA didn't use the cloud but they still had a massive security breach. If anything, the Snowden episodes reveals the threats posed by disgruntled employees.
IT chiefs appear to consider insider threats a more concrete and likely danger, including disgruntled employees or contractors like Snowden who out of malice or in retaliation expose confidential data or damage IT systems.
While all employees can leak data, systems professionals are a unique risk because they have greater access to information. While one would hope that everyone acts ethically, we know that it isn't the case. When deploying cloud solutions, IT administration staff is reduced. Reducing the number of people with access to everything can reduce both security risks and costs.
If a technology like cloud computing can better serve the organization from both a cost and security perspective, why would you eliminate that from your strategy? Are your competitors doing the same?
Even with those factors in play, this isn't a zero sum game. There is a security balance that has to be struck with every decision.
Who is Hack Proof?
Snowden demonstrated that nobody is leak proof. What about hack proof? The short answer is that nobody has 100% security. The question really is do you have enough security for the information that you are protecting?
The truth of the matter is that for most organizations, if the NSA wanted to hack your systems, they could. In fact, they could likely do it much easier than if they tried to hack a cloud provider. Most established cloud providers have larger staffs and have invested a lot more money in security over the past few years than your organization.
"I'm more comfortable with Microsoft's security for our email than with handling that internally," BCBG MaxAzria's Fuller said. "We're a fashion company, not a tech company. We need to focus our resources on producing great dresses people want to buy."
This isn't to say that you should drop everything and move to the cloud. Just don't let a false sense of security from hackers keep you in your on-premises environment.
Pick the Right Time and Balance
The real lesson here is that there are a lot of factors that go into any change in infrastructure. The cloud is no different. The needs of the business should be the guiding principles, not fear of an external entity hacking your system.
As Snowden aptly showed us, the greater security threat is, and always has been, internal people who have grudges. You can't protect against them, but you can strive to make your place a better place for people to work. This will reduce the odds that someone will decide to act with malicious intent.
The alternative is to employ a lot of security, keep everything internal, and only grant access to any piece of information if they need to know. What's the worst that can happen?
Ask the NSA.
Thankful for the Iron Bowl
It is Thanksgiving in the United States this week. It is a time for turkey and pie. Oh the pies. I am thankful for many things, but I won't go into many of those today. I want to talk about a Thanksgiving tradition. The Iron Bowl.
The Iron Bowl is the annual American football game between my alma mater, Auburn University, and the other major school in the state of Alabama, the University of Alabama. While those facts would normally be enough to make the game interesting, when one realizes how little else there is to do in Alabama besides watch college football, it escalates. It is more than bragging rights.
This year, Alabama is ranked number one and is the defending National Champion. Auburn is ranked fourth (out of 120 teams). The winner takes the division and will play in the the Southeastern Conference championship. As the SEC champion has won the last seven National Championships, In fact, the last four winners of the Iron Bowl have won the National Championship.
Why We Don't Have an Enterprise Data Management Problem
Finally pulling out the analogy to end all analogies in the argument of whether or not Enterprise Content Management is dead or alive. Honestly, it never existed and we need to focus on Content Services. Dan Antion, an AIIM Board Member, disagrees with me. While I never let someone disagreeing with me slow me down, Dan is a smart guy and a friend. When he feels that ECM is alive and real, I pay attention.
I have one question for Dan. How is his Enterprise Data Management system working out?
Federal IT, A Different World
It was a great November attending both of the Alfresco Summits. If you didn't attend either one, you missed a great learning experience that was fun at the same time.
One thing that was missing from the events was representation of our Federal customer base. Given the current challenges facing many Federal agencies here in the United States, it wasn't surprising. There isn't a lot of traveling going on right now.
As a result, Alfresco bringing that learning experience directly to Washington, DC on January 29th for Content.gov 2014. That is more than hyperbole as we are bringing in our CEO, Doug Dennerline, our Chief Product Officer, Paul Holmes-Higgins, and many others to DC for the event.
Oh, and I'll be there as well.
The reason I am taking time out to encourage you to come is that the drivers in the Federal marketplace are different than those in the rest of the world. The focus is not on revenue, but on serving constituents effectively and efficiently. Rules and regulations are more than factors in a risk equation, they are absolutes.
If you are trying to solve the Content problem in the Federal space, please come to Content.gov (it's free) and talk to others facing the same problems. I, and the leadership of Alfresco, want to hear your perspectives on the unique Content challenges facing the Federal space.
It isn't even a question of whether or not you use Alfresco. We all need to work together to solve this problem.
Fearing the Final Step
I love roller coasters. I'm not obsessed with them, but when presented with an opportunity to ride one, I take it. I particularly like old wooden coasters. They really make you feel like you are on the edge.
And yet…
When I was a child, I had the same fascination but I rode only about half the coasters that I came across. I had a fear of the coasters with loops. I would be excited to ride them, wait in a long line, and then when the time came to finally board, it was a 50-50 shot whether or not I would just walked through to the other side.
The Loch Ness Monster roller coaster was a frequent victim to my whimsical abandonment. I think I was successful only a third of the time prior to the age of 10. This is a little silly because I had ridden it before and enjoyed it immensely. The fear remained. There was no logic behind it. It was an irrational fear.
This has passed and every time I go to Busch Gardens, I make a bee line for Loch Ness. I figured I had conquered the irrationality until…
ARMA Calls for a Revolution
I've been talking for a while about how we need to mix things up in the space. Records Management as we know it is dead and it has dragged Enterprise Content Management (ECM) down with it. We need to completely change things to get back on track.
While I was attending the ARMA conference, ARMA's president, Julie Colgan, said that Records Management needed to evolve. I said that it wasn't enough. Records Managers need to revolt against the system and change things. Julie saw the comment on twitter and promised a response.
Well, today Julie gave a response.
I also believe that RIM needs a revolution, but in order to get there, we first need the professionals in the space to be ready to revolt.
Let's face it. As much as Records Management, and ECM as a whole, has failed, the needs for proper Information Governance has not changed. Organizations still have the same requirements.
We need to work WITH the Records Management professionals. We need to work together to find a way to meet the requirements of the organization while addressing the central failure point, which is that existing solutions make every employee a Records Manager.
They don't want to be Records Managers.
I personally welcome ARMA to the battle. The members of ARMA have knowledge that we need. They also have ideas. I saw many speakers at the conference calling for a new approach. We need to learn how to relieve people from the burden of managing records to allow them to focus upon their jobs.
Shall we start a revolution together?
What Constitutes a Cloud Product?
Yesterday, there was a pretty heated twitter debate between Ron Miller, Irina Guseva, Tony Byrne, and myself over what constitutes a Cloud Product. This was triggered by an article that Irina had published on the Real Story Group blog about what people should take away from the Adobe security breach (besides passwords).
I am not a big fan of how Irina portrayed cloud security as cloud systems are often more secure than many internal systems. Ron had more fundamental issues with the article.
Adobe calls this product Creative Cloud when it's not a cloud product.
This had nothing to do with them being cloud. Adobe ID goes back years.
I tend to ignore most contradictions in a Twitter debate given the limits of the medium. I do want to counter both of Ron's statements.
Content Services, Not ECM
Recently I've been trying to walk a narrow path. I have all but pronounced Enterprise Content Management (ECM) dead, and yet I have expressed a belief that Content Services need to be embedded into business applications.
The question is two-fold. How can you serve Content Services without a platform? Isn't that ECM with a different name?
Yes and no.
Let's dissect this apparent contradiction.
Don't Make Your Digital Assets a Silo
I wrote a piece for CMSWire last month asking if Content Management Systems were Good Enough for Digital Asset Management. I essentially said that if digital assets are the business, then a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system makes sense. If digital assets are part of a broader business need or solution, then perhaps the capabilities of a broader Content Management System (CMS) would suffice.
Ralph Windsor took exception at my conclusion, thinking I was pushing the same old Enterprise Content Management (ECM) story. He couldn't be further from the truth.
Let me tell you why.
Forget Users, Think People
We have a problem in this industry. We live in a world where we constantly think about the "users" of our software. In that identification, we dehumanize the People that are using our system. While this is a small detail, we have to remember one thing…
Words Matter.
Everywhere I look, in proposals, requirements, and manuals, the People that use the system are referred to as Users.
Not Writers.
Not Publishers.
Not Creators.
Not People.
It is pervasive. We hold User Conferences. We write User Manuals. We assign User IDs.
The cruel thing is that we don't do it to ourselves. There are developer conferences. The creators of the software get to be People, why not those who have to live with the software?
We even try and perfect the User Experience.
Why are we not working on the Human Experience?
Why do we insist on calling the People whom our software helps users? We aren't pushing a drug. If we were, more People would be willing to use it.
Drugs are addictive. Content Management software is not.
One thing that we do have in common, aside from calling People "users", is that we have to push People to use the software. We have to convince them to take that first step in using the software. People view the software as dangerous, a risk, something to be avoided.
We need to change this approach. As Content Professionals, we need to think of everyone as People. The first step is to change the way we talk.
I am not trying to help users.
I am helping People.

I am thankful for food, a home, & a loving family that cares for me.
I am also thankful for my family being safe, all of the stuff my family can afford, & that i am living right now. I can die at any moment for no reason & still be thankful for the time that i lived. I believe that if you are thankful, caring, & give to the needy, you get more than happiness for another family,but happiness for doing something good. I am also thankful for my family still living, not just me, myself, & I. i am especially thankful that I know my family is together & not fighting. i am really thankful for going to school, having friends, & being with family where ever I look. NO, it doesn't matter if they are African American, Jewish, German, British, Chinese, Native American, or anything else, I still consider them FAMILY. I will be thankful when I wake up tomorrow.I am thankful for EVERYTHING, EVERYDAY -

After an awesome day yesterday at the ballpark and last month's ride up Conzelman road, I think it's time for another chill day in the sun being easy with the BikeBQ.
Let's hit Alamo Square and catch each other up on what we're working on and take an afternoon to relax.
As always I'll supply the BBQ and music, you bring beverages, blankets and something to grill.
Also just a reminder that we've got another great event at Adobe tomorrow night so come hear David Lenaerts & Carlos Icaza talk about gaming and 3d.
Afterwards we'll head over to Mars bar for drinks.
See you there,
Could have used more BBQ grills

Your search for LAPIDUS, MORRIS in Morris Lapidus returned 17 articles
Preservationists See Bulldozers Charging Through a Loophole
In a strategy familiar to preservationists, property owners rush to obtain demolition permits so their structures won't receive landmark protection.
November 29, 2008, SaturdayThe Style of Lapidus Buildings, Made in More Portable Forms
In early December, the New York-based interior design firm Dennis Miller Associates will introduce a line of home furnishings based on the designs of Morris Lapidus, the late architect known for his lighthearted take on midcentury Modernism. The Morris Lapidus Collection, which will be available in early January but can be ordered now, will start with five pieces, including the armless Alton Chair, above, and the curvy Ocean Bench, below. Prices start at $2,860 for the chair and $9,170 for the ...
November 30, 2006, ThursdayThe Remix; Revival | Lapidus Luxury
The architect Morris Lapidus, who brought pleasure palaces like Eden Roc and the Fontainebleau hotels to Miami Beach, was so loathed by Modernist hard-liners that, in 1983, he bitterly destroyed much of his archives. ''He thought, If they didn't like it once, why would they like it again?'' explains the Miami-based architect Deborah Desilets, a friend and colleague in his later years. Fortunately, Lapidus, who died in 2001, lived long enough to see his work rediscovered by the Philippe Starck g...
April 02, 2006, SundayWhen More Was More
IN 1949 the architect Morris Lapidus was asked to design one of his outrageously modern hotels on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. ''I once again used my old bag of tricks,'' he recalled in his memoirs, published five years before his death in January. His tricks included ''sweeping curves, a woggle-shaped carpet, the old cheese holes in the floating ceiling and the curved walls, beanpoles hung with cages of live birds. I also added more. . . .''
November 25, 2001, SundayDefining Beauty in Swanky American Terms
THE password is . . . swanky. The music to remember it by is sung by Shirley Bassey. The fleeting image is a tan young man in a white bathing suit plunging off the high board, somersaulting out of the deep blue sky into the water of a sky blue pool. Cut to shot of Sean Connery wearing a light blue terry cloth playsuit. Anyone else would look ridiculous in such a get-up, but not James Bond. He looks . . . swanky. Any piece of architecture would look stupid if it were wearing staircases that w...
February 04, 2001, SundayMorris Lapidus, an Architect Who Built Flamboyance Into Hotels, Is Dead at 98
Morris Lapidus, an architect long derided and later praised for designing some of South Florida's gaudiest, glitziest and most glamorous hotels in the 1950's and 60's, died yesterday at his home in Miami Beach. He was 98 and lived in a white high-rise he designed that stands near three of his most glittering creations, the Fontainebleau, Americana and Eden Roc hotels. Mr. Lapidus's style was mockingly called Miami Beach French, and critics scorned the ''obscene panache'' with which he create...

WHEN Morris Lapidus, who is 97 and architect of the iconic, mid-50's Fontaine bleu Hilton and Eden Roc hotels in Miami Beach and more than 1,000 other projects, was in town recently, he had lunch with his colleague Philip Johnson as well as his former clients, the brothers Tisch.

IN the early 1990's, after his wife's death, the legendary architect Morris Lapidus found himself staring at a calendar white with blank dates. The designer of Miami Beach's Fontainebleau and Eden Roc hotels, Mr. Lapidus, then in his early 90's, had retired from active practice and was sitting alone in his ocean-front duplex, bored. In 1994, after serving on a review panel for work by architecture students, he had lunch with a fellow juror, Deborah Desilets, and more lunches. ''He was so rem...
December 23, 1999, ThursdayStyle; Castles in The Sand
In the mid-1950's, when Morris Lapidus was in Miami Beach designing the resort hotels that would make him world famous, he bought a chinchilla wrap for his wife, Beatrice. The man he bought it from was introduced at a party as the Chinchilla King of New York, Lapidus recalls. ''One day, there we were in our bathing suits, and in walks the Chinchilla King with the wrap. My wife was so excited, she put the chinchilla on over her bathing suit.'' The idea of fur as poolside attire doesn't seem s...

Beneath its splatter of signs and yellow-tinted facade, the tower building on the southwest corner of Union Square is a spare example of the work of Morris Lapidus, an architect known for his flamboyant renditions of the modernist style of the 50's -- most notably the sweeping curves and glitz of his Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. By September, the exterior of the 12,000-square-foot building at University Place and East 14th Street should regain its clean-lined elegance. ''We're going t...

Comparison between the Resistance of Benzalkonium Chloride–Adapted and –Nonadapted Biofilms of Listeria monocyogenes to Modified Atmosphere Packaging and Nisin Once Transferred to Mussels
Authors: Saá Ibusquiza, P.; Herrera, J. J. R.; Cabo, M. L.
Source: Journal of Food Protection®, Number 7, July 2011, pp. 1048-1211 , pp. 1112-1118(7)
Benzalkonium chloride–adapted and –nonadapted Listeria monocytogenes biofilm cells were transferred by contact to cooked or live mussels and packed in rich CO2 and O2, respectively. The viabilities of transferred cells during storage of these packed samples at 2.5°C were compared. In addition, in cooked mussels the combined effect of CO2 and nisin against the survival of L. monocytogenes was also studied by using a first-order factorial design. The results obtained demonstrated that biofilms formed by benzalkonium chloride–adapted L. monocytogenes cells could be more resistant to the application of modified atmospheres rich in CO2 and nisin once they have been transferred to cooked mussels by contact (simulating cross-contamination). This implies an increase in the risk associated with the presence of these cells in food processing plants. Significant empirical equations obtained after 7, 11, and 20 days showed an inhibitory effect of CO2 and nisin against L. monocytogenes. However, a significant positive interaction between both variables highlights an incompatibility between CO2 and nisin at high concentrations. Results also demonstrated that L. monocytogenes could persist after cross-contamination during the processing of live mussels, so L. monocytogenes is of concern as a contaminant in live mussels packaged in high-O2 atmospheres.Document Type: Research Article

Barcelona fitness Coach Paco Seirullo has claimed that Carles Puyol will be back to full training in three weeks.
The centre-back had knee surgery over the summer, with many suggesting that the Blaugrana would sign a defender as cover for the captain.
That however, was not the case, and Seirullo has insisted that the Spain international will be back to his best.
"Puyol is likely to be back in three weeks," he told Mundo Deportivo.
"His knee is doing fine.
"He will be the player he was before."

MP calls for action on petrol prices
18th November 2011
James Morris, Member of Parliament for Halesowen & Rowley Regis, is calling for the Government to consider measures to tackle the cost of petrol and diesel.
The MP has signed the motion that will be debated in Parliament today (Tuesday), which comes after 100,000 people signed an online petition calling for action to help motorists.
The motion highlights the impact that high fuel prices have on families at a time when many are struggling to make ends meet. Research shows that some low-paid workers are paying a tenth of their income just to fill up the family car.
Mr Morris also raised concerns about the effect that high petrol prices have on the local economy. Small and medium sized businesses in particular are being forced to increase their prices to pass on high fuel costs, making their products and services less competitive.
MPs are also calling for an investigation into whether petrol companies are unfairly profiting by delaying reducing petrol prices when oil prices fall.
Explaining why he had backed calls for the debate, Mr Morris said:
"I signed the motion for this debate because I know how much high fuel prices affect local residents and businesses in Halesowen and Rowley Regis.
"After their rent or mortgage, transport costs make up the largest part of most families' budgets and so when petrol becomes more expensive, it makes it more difficult for many to make ends meet.
"Like me, many of my constituents find it difficult to understand why when there is a rise in fuel duty or the price of crude oil, the prices go up overnight. However, if there is a cut it takes much longer time to be passed on to the motorist."

For the past 25 years, Paul Porterfield, director of the Media Resource Center, has worked closely with Uliana Gabara, former dean of international education, in planning the University of Richmond's annual International Film Series. Since Gabara retired this spring, this fall's series will probably be the last in which she is heavily involved.
Porterfield and Gabara, along with former professor Bert Cardullo, started the series in 1989 because they saw a need for international film in the Richmond community, and they "wanted to offer something that was a little bit different,"
Porterfield said. "And even though there's more international film here now than there was then, we still offer something different, because we have a lot of films that don't come to Richmond any other way."
Since 1989, the series has changed locations twice, attendance has increased and the number of films shown has increased as a result of two themed weekends: African Film Weekend in the fall and ChinaFest in the spring.
The films were originally shown in Adams Auditorium, which has only 95 seats, and people were occasionally turned away because the auditorium had filled, Porterfield said. The series then moved to a room in Jepson Hall, which could seat 125, and people were rarely turned away, he said. When Ukrop Auditorium, part of the 2011 Queally Hall addition to the E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, was built, the series moved there, which can accommodate 225 people.
Each film, shown three times during the weekend, draws about 300 people, said Sara Jaax, manager of communications and events for the Office of International Education. An average of about 5,000 people come to the series throughout the year, said Jaax, who is in charge of promoting the series.
Friday, Sept. 13 marked the beginning of the 25th anniversary year of the film series with a kickoff party before the 3 p.m. screening of "Lore," an Australian-German collaborative film set in post-World War II Germany.
Before the screening, Porterfield and interim Dean of International Education Joe Hoff both spoke about the series and its anniversary to a nearly full Ukrop Auditorium.
Hoff said the series is important because it provides the university and the greater Richmond community a window to the world, which correlates with the university's larger internationalization efforts.
In the series' entirety, more than 100,000 people have attended the film screenings and more than 500 films have been shown, representing about 100 countries, Porterfield said. When he asked who in the audience had been attending the series since its inception, four people raised their hands.
Porterfield and Gabara have been the two people most involved in the film selection process over the years. Porterfield said he typically chose about 20 films that he had seen, heard or read about that were fairly contemporary and came from a variety of countries. He and Gabara would then go through the reviews for those films and narrow it down to about a dozen films and then negotiate contracts with vendors.
This fall, the films chosen are from Germany, Denmark, Lebanon, Romania, Brazil, Spain, France and Italy.
The series has rarely included films that were controversial enough to cause someone to stomp out, Porterfield said, "but we don't shy away from films that challenge people, that are provocative… We have a mature audience who like film and expect something different when they come here."
Jaax said the film series allows the audience to "see how the world is perceived through the eyes of people from other countries."
"This has proven to be an excellent way to provide the community with a cultural event that they can't really find in other places in Richmond," she said.
The films, which are free to attend, will be shown in Ukrop Auditorium at 3 and 7:30 p.m. Fridays and 7:30 p.m. Sundays.
The eight films included in the series this year are:
"Lore," which was shown Sept. 13 and 15; "A Hijacking," which will be shown Sept. 27 and 29; "Where Do We Go Now?" which will be show Oct. 4 and 6; "Beyond the Hills," which will be shown Oct. 18 and 20; "Found Memories," which will be shown Oct. 25 and 27; "Blancanieves," which will be shown in Jepson Hall Nov. 1 and 3; "Korkoro," which will be shown Nov. 8 and 10 and "Shun Li and the Poet," which will be shown Nov. 15 and 17.

The video judges tried to block: Father secretly records harrowing moment six-hour-old baby is taken away by social services
- Seizure by Staffordshire social workers secretly recorded on webcam
- Shows police and staff telling couple they have to take 'baby J' away
- Film can be shown for first time after landmark ruling
By Steve Doughty, Social Affairs Correspondent
This is the moment social services took a baby away from its parents when it was just six hours old.
The infant at the centre of the Munby judgment, known only as J, was removed from its parents after his birth in April.
The father secretly filmed the seizure on a webcam attached to the family computer.
Scroll down video
The six-hour-old baby is cradled by its father as a police officer stands close by in the secretly recorded video
The mother is clearly distraught in the video as Staffordshire social workers and police take the baby away
It has long been available on the internet but an edited version can only now be published and viewed legitimately.
The views of the father and mother of the four children taken into care by Staffordshire social workers can also now be published following yesterday's landmark judgment by President of the Family Division Sir James Munby.
In June the baby's father was given a suspended six-week
prison sentence by a family court judge for his refusal to co-operate
in getting the video removed from internet sites.
The parents said social workers removed their baby because they decided their mother was incapable of bringing them up because of her learning disability.
The video shows the father holding the newborn infant at their home when social workers and police come to take it away.
In the video, the mother is clearly distraught and holds onto her baby and rocks it as her husband remonstrates with officers and council staff.
One social worker can be heard telling the parents: 'We are going to take [baby J]. I don't want to have to get physical.'
The mother can be heard wailing and screaming 'no' as social workers take her baby.
The baby's father told the Daily Mail: 'I
taped over the light on the webcam so the social workers couldn't see
it was switched on.'
The couple - who cannot be named - have lost four children who were removed by social workers. Three have now been adopted.
The father said yesterday they have never been accused of harming their children.
Cases in which children have been taken from families with learning difficulties have been acutely controversial over the last decade.
Campaigners and some academics say over-zealous social workers have broken up families led by parents who are no threat to their children and who can look after them capably.
A version of the video can be published for the first time after Sir James Munby said the father could share it
One social worker can be heard saying: 'We are here to take [baby J]. I don't want to have to get physical'
The father told the Daily Mail: 'The social workers said my wife and I were in a volatile relationship. But we have been married for a long time and we do bicker a bit. We have differences of opinion.
'There has never been violence, and nobody has ever said there is any evidence to say otherwise.'
The father said his oldest daughter was seven years old when she was taken from her parents four years ago.
'There were no problems for seven years,' he said. 'Then we had a new social worker who had a different attitude.
'My wife has a learning disability and for a period I was depressed, although that was quickly over after the GP helped. But the social worker tried to section me. The court was told that there was a risk the children would come to harm in the future.
'They were never harmed. They were taken away as a preventative or precautionary measure.'
Sir James rejected a sweeping injunction designed to effectively prevent anyone in the world from seeing the film, knowing the names of the social workers involved, or even discovering the name of the local authority that applied for the order, Staffordshire County Council.
The newborn baby can be heard crying during the distressing seizure
Sir James Munby said the baby's father should not be prevented from sharing information about the case after Staffordshire Council tried to gag him
The father said that although social workers considered his wife disabled, the wife's disability benefits were halted after intervention by Staffordshire council staff.
The parents, who do not work, were supported by family and by church food parcels for nearly nine months, he said, before state benefits to the wife were restored.
He said he acted as his wife's carer.
The father, 41, had been married to the mother, 36, for 13 years.
The couple are permitted to see the eldest daughter six times a year under agreements settled in court, the father said. But he added: 'We have only been allowed to see her once this year. She wants to come home.'
A test case in Essex in 2005 involved the parents of a four-year-old girl and a 14-month-old boy removed from their home even though they were clean, well-dressed, well fed, much loved, and had never been harmed.
The case attracted attention because Essex social workers used court injunctions to prevent the parents from discussing their children or anyone from reporting the case.
A High Court judge backed the council and said it was unrealistic for the parents to expect to bring up their children.
Sir James Munby said of Staffordshire's attempt to silence the parents in yesterday's case: 'The father wishes to share information with others. Why should he not be able to do so?
'And why should those who may wish to hear his views not be permitted to approach him?
'This is in effect, if not in intention, a means of indirectly gagging the father so that what from the local authority's perspective are his unpalatable views are less likely to see the light of day.'
Sir James added: 'I simply fail to see how naming the local authority, the social workers, the local authority's legal representative or the children's guardian, or even all of them, can in any realistic way be said to make it likely that J will be identified, even indirectly.
'The risk is merely fanciful.'
