Halo Headlines: Angels pursuing Eric Chavez, Shuck finish 5th in AL ROY voting
The November 12th, 2013 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels including Angels pursuing Eric Chavez, Shuck finish 5th in AL ROY voting and much more...
The Story: The Angels are one of several teams that are pursuing Eric Chavez.
The Monkey Says: Chavez can't really field the position anymore, but as part of a platoon with a quality glove like Luis Jimenez makes a lot of sense. The odds are against the Angels here though as the Yankees want Chavez and he has a good history with them. Then again, it could just be a highest bidder situation as Chavez is nearing the end of the road.
The Story: J.B. Shuck finished 5th in American League Rookie of the Year voting.
The Monkey Says: Shuck got one second place vote from Joe Haakenson, who has authored two different books on the Angels, and a third place vote from OC Register pandering hack Jeff Miller. Clearly the process is working great and the writers are voting objectively and strictly on merit.

Paly Lot Open for Students Only Friday - Closed for Fan Parking
Original post made by Paly Parent on Nov 27, 2012
For the safety of our students and staff, we feel it is best to not allow fans attending the game on campus. Therefore, we will NOT be opening our lots for Stanford parking.
Thank you, Principal Winston, for your thoughtfulness and concern for the Paly students, parents, and staff.

If you are a Paly student going to the game, can you leave your car in the lot?
on Nov 27, 2012 at 1:46 pm
I would assume that you'd better have a Paly parking permit on your car...

or are you in on the great GOP conspiracy to pretend that Bush only had one term and someone else mangled the Imperial Wars and oversaw the looting of the economy by Wall Street?

Healthcare informatics will play a key role in delivering integrated patient care — with the Australian Government planning to use this platform to manage and share data across the healthcare system.
In future, healthcare agencies and service delivery providers will increasingly use informatics to collect, analyse, and move data across different jurisdictions, according to Dr Michael Bainbridge, programme clinical lead, National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA).
Dr Bainbridge, also adjunct professor, clinical informatics, University of British Columbia, was speaking at the industry's peak Health Informatics Conference (HIC 2012) in Sydney.
He said paper-based record-keeping is seen as "public enemy number one." This regime is being replaced by informatics and electronic records to deliver modernised healthcare.
Informatics offers a "cradle-to-grave" snapshot of patients, at the same time, supporting evidence-based policy and funding reforms for peak agencies like NEHTA.
NEHTA is driving the Australian Government's high-profile US$233.7 million (AUD$233.7 million) Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) programme.
The three-year programme will deliver fully integrated e-health services nationally, while making better use of e-health data across agencies, hospitals, clinics and healthcare centres.
Informatics offers a cost-effective platform to acquire, store, retrieve and use health and biomedicine information, noted Dr Bainbridge.
He said nearly two terabytes of data is pumped out each day, per patient, at emergency wards. This data can reside in different places, in varied formats, while relying on sometimes incompatible technology.
"With informatics, we're on a better trajectory to managing patient care. Patients are also taking ownership of their own data and medical records."
Dr Bainbridge said a paternalist model of healthcare has shifted. This is being replaced by more precise and personalised information-exchange. "We're moving past incomprehensible medical forms toward empowering patients."
Health informatics helps integrate all episodes of care, while improving productivity across the system, according to Mike Woods, deputy chair, Productivity Commission (Australian Government).
Informatics offers cost-effective tools to empower consumers and care-givers, he said.
This platform supports a cohesive and connected information base. It also improves operational performance, while helping medical staff evaluate, cost and forecast activities.

Today's pattern is up - bella socks, and the latest field update from the knitmore girls is too. For today's sock I wanted to design something simpler that could be worked with a variety of handdyed and striped yarns. Only one color is used per round. I included a gusseted, short row heel. Tomorrow we'll have a tutorial on adding a gusset to other patterns' short row heels.

- An elegant and stylish restaurant, a little on the expensive side, this restaurant served German cuisine. The staff is quite polite and warm, complementing the intimate environment. You can watch the chef moving swiftly, mixing ingredients and getting ready the meal orders. Fresh bakes, salads, puddings, steaks and seafood broth are served nice and hot. Creamy ice-creams and puddings make for lovely desserts.

Viper SRT10 ACR-X Marks the End of an Era
You may or may not know this, but 2010 is the final year for Dodges muscle car that took the world by storm in 1992. Dodge is commemorating the Vipers legacy by producing 25 SRT10 ACR-X spec-series racers that will take the track this summer in the Dodge Viper Cup Series.
For a paltry $110k you can own your very own ACR-X with its 8.4L V10 mill churning out a tire melting 640 horses. Not a bad price to own a piece of history.

Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible existence of God and His everlasting power have been clearly seen by the mind's understanding of created things. - Romans 1:20 [NJB]
Jesus came speaking in parables; He used common occurrences such as a lost coin, a prodigal son, and a house built upon a rock to teach people about their heavenly Father and the kingdom of God. The prophets also used parables, symbols, and similitudes to help Israel understand and remember God's messages. God's people were His sheep; Jesus was the Good Shepherd; His followers had to pick up their crosses. In "Everybody's Sermon," Charles Spurgeon, speaking on similitudes, taught, "Every animal that you see, every spot you visit, has a sermon for you." St. Paul taught that God's attributes could be "clearly seen by the mind's understanding of created things" (Romans 1:20 NJB). Medieval bestiaries were based on the idea that God had created animals for our instruction.
During the Middle Ages, bestiaries were popular nature books. They contained descriptions of real animals, fantastic beasts, and other natural objects. Each entry had a moral or religious lesson drawn from the author's understanding of that creature's habits. By reading bestiaries, we can become familiar with animal symbolism in religious art, literature, and architecture.
Except where otherwise indicated all scripture quotes are from the NKJV.

With the prospect of heavy punishment hanging over him, Mark Allen said sorry for the comments which have rocked Chinese snooker.
The 26-year-old Northern Irishman was fiercely critical of Cao Yupeng on Sunday, saying he was "disgusted" the 21-year-old did not call a foul against himself during his first-round match against Allen at the Betfred.com World Championship.
Allen, who lost 10-6 to the Crucible debutant, also said that "blatant cheating" might be "a bit of a trait for the Chinese players".
Hong Kong's Marco Fu said he would talk to Allen, after being named in the World Open champion's criticism.
And World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn has confirmed the sport's disciplinary chiefs could go as far as banning Allen, who has already been fined four times this season, at a cost of over £2,500.
Allen has now admitted he "overstepped the line".
He issued a statement through his management On Q Promotions, which said: "Following my recent comments in the press conference after my first-round defeat to Cao Yupeng, I would like to formally apologise to anyone who may have been offended.
"Having taken some time to reflect on my comments I can appreciate that I overstepped the line at a time when I was heavily influenced by the emotions of a disappointing defeat.
"I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Cao Yupeng if he felt that my comments were insinuating he were a cheat."
Allen had claimed Cao, who was leading 5-4 at the time, committed a push shot early in the 10th frame.Television replays of the incident did not clearly show a foul.
Allen's comments about Chinese players have gone down badly in the nation where snooker is a boom sport, hosting many major tournaments, and where he has already caused offence this season.
Cao was stunned to learn of the accusation against him, and Fu was baffled to have been named.
Allen has been told he must explain the remarks to the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association. His contrition in the statement is the first acknowledgement he should have kept the views to himself.
Allen's statement continued: "I stand by my opinion that the shot in question was a foul, but I also stand by my previous comments in the press conference that Cao was the better player and fully deserved to win. I genuinely wish him the best of luck for the rest of the tournament.
"I would also like to apologise to World Snooker. I appreciate the hard work by many people to grow our sport and I am truly horrified to think that my actions could be perceived to be detrimental to this.
"It is fair to say that this season has been one of ups and downs. The highs of winning my first ranking title and finishing runner-up in the UK Championships have been overshadowed by some ill-judged comments from myself.
"I realise that I need to ensure that my off-table behaviour matches the standard and level of professionalism I set for my on-table etiquette. I will return for the 2012-13 season with an improved approach to giving my opinions publicly."
Allen had caused offence in China before his weekend comments, when branding the island of Hainan, which staged the World Open, as "horrendous" and its people as "ignorant". Ironically, Allen went on to win that tournament last month, for his first ranking title.

Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse - Houston
Online Reservations
I took my wife to Vic & Anthonys in Houston to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was the first visit for both of us and exceeded our expectations. If I had any complaint it would be the service was too good. Maybe let the water get below halfway before you fill it. Again would rather that then the opposite. Definately will be back and recommend as well.
We chose this restaurant because of all of the great reviews we read, and we were not disappointed.
This restaurant is by far the best I've ever eaten in. From the warm welcome, the superb service through to the wonderful food. It was impossible to criticise in any way. I had a few steaks while on vacation in Texas and although they were all very good this was a class apart.
My wife and I came to downtown Houston to enjoy a concert at the Bayou Music Center as a belated birthday present. We choose Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse because of the reccomended dress code, service and menu selection, THEY over delivered on every aspect. This was our first time here and when back in Houston we will certainly return.
My husband and I were in Texas during our first anniversary so we decided to check out Vic and Anthony's based solely on online reviews. We had a great evening- the food was delicious and the service was great...very attentive without being obnoxious. We can't afford to go to restaurants like this very often, but we were very glad we treated ourselves this time.
The food was good but the A/C temp in the lounge was too cold!!!
We had guests from out of town and wanted to take them to a very special place. We found that at Vic and Anthony's. Did not disappoint. We would highly recommend.
Excellent food and service! The steak was delicious as well as the Rockefeller Oysters. Everything was superb! The only thing is to be mindful if you take older adults there, the lighting is very dark for older people to read the menu and extensive wine list.
A bit pricey, but overall very good. We ordered crab cakes and they were very good, i had delicious dreams about those crab cakes!! Other food was great, large portions.
Overall, very satisfied. Excellent steaks and condiments. Large, good quality wine selection. Excellent, almost personal service. Will definitely go back.
It was great as always. The service, atmosphere and food were great.
We split the 12 oz filet, chopped salad and heirloom tomato salad with asparagus. Food was excellent, and service attentive and prompt. Looking forward to our return.
Everything was so lovely and romantic. My boyfriend loved his steak and loved the crab cake.
The lobster bisque was fantastic and the filet was cooked perfectly. The au gratin potatoes are a must try, and so is the Texas sized Red Velvet cake.
Vic and Anthony's always delivers a great meal. They cook steaks to order, not common in Houston so I'll have to order medium rare next time over rare plus as most places overcook. One criticism would be the nutella cake as this was really just a molten chocolate cake, but was good. Try the wedge with ranch dressing but with crumbled blue cheese, it gives a great contrast. The ribeye here is every bit as good as Pappas Bros., something I never thought I would say. Kudos!
Great as always! Great restaurant for customer entertaining when you are in Houston for a conference.
The steaks are excellent cooked just the way we asked. My wife gets Filet Mignon when ordering steaks and claimed this was the best one ever/
The bar had live jazz music and an excellent wine menu. The warm nuts were fantastic! Dinner was nothing less than extraordinary. The beet salad and the roasted Brussel sprouts are a must-have.
We had a wonderful time at Vic & Anthony's. JT was our server and he was amazing. There were a couple of small flubs but he was very graceful and handled it beautifully. We will definitely go back!
The scenery is great, service is phenominal and I will be coming back frequently. Love it!
Food was great. T-bone pork was delicious. Our waiter was attentive, but that's what I expected after having come here before. Each server and busser made it seem as if it were their pleasure to serve us. You won't be dissappointed.
Been here many times and never had a bad experience. That counts a lot for me. Crabcakes are always wonderful, service is great. I always feel confident that if I bring the wife for a special occasion or a group, we'll have a great time.
The food and service was great, pricey but great....
Celebrated our wedding and the evening was great. The service and food were also great. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Thank you for making it a wonderful night.
This is the first time that I visited a restaurant were every entry and side dishes were seasons to perfection. There was nothing left to do but to sit back, eat and enjoy.
Vic & Anthony's is the best steakhouse in downtown Houston - wine list is a little overpriced but there are a few reasonable options
Had wanted great start to our evening four our 200th and started it a Vic & anthony after the roses, diner was fine and we enjoyed the server, he was fast ,friendly and efficient, glad he was there to help us with the menu will be back, it is pricey so make plans
Had a great and pleasant dining experience at Vic and Anthony's. Superb and excellent service was the pivotal point of the evening. Melody is simply, "Outstanding" service. She pays attention to all the detail it takes to provide a professional and memorable dining experience...
Vic and Anthony's is as good as it gets. Excellent prime beef cooked to perfection. Great ambience. No screaming kids. Great staff. Cannot think of anything bad about Vic and Anthony's. When they ask what is the special occasion. . .we tell them the special occasion is getting to dine at V & A's!
Celebrated 3 birthdays in the group. Wedge was weak but other salads were very good. Veal chop was less than expected steaks were great. Mushrooms were off but asparagus and Mac and cheese were great. Excellent wine selection ... Most $100 + ... Would have like to seen more selection in the $70 range. Desserts were comped for the birthday folks and the cheese cake was the best ever. The bar was great. Nice room and good music to start the evening. Overall it was a terrific evening and the service was outstanding though out.
I enjoyed my first experience at The vic and anthonys, The servers were really nice and I felt very comfortable. Thanks to The staff for a wonderful time. I proposed to' my fiance their and I would do it all over again Regards Jp
After hearing about how great the restaurant was, I had to visit. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. The food was delicious, and the server was very attentive. I will definitely visit again.
The food is very good. The steaks are tender and all of the al la carte sides are very good. It has the ambience that a nice steakhouse should have: wide selection of meat, seafood, and wine. I will say that those that do not like salt in their food, you may not like this place. You will taste the salt very heavily as a seasoning. It was much more noticeable in the 8oz over the 12oz.
I took my wife for her birthday recently because we are always looking for a new steakhouse to try, and I have to say that this spot is at the top of the list. The service was great, and the food was amazing. We both had the filet mignon with the crawfish fondue topping. I'm a huge fan of crab cakes, and theirs is very good. We will definitely dine here again soon. The lounge area was really nice as well if you would like to catch a few drinks, and enjoy the bar scene.
Vic & Anthony's is pretty expensive. My filet and my wife's fish were both excellent but pricey. The only time we go here is with a free company-sponsored meal or a gift card from someone. It's out of our price range for a "regular" meal.
I was a little worried about the prices of the food but, once I bit into my steak all that worry went out the window. The whole meal was fantastic and so was the wait staff to the hostess. Top notch in my book.
Had a several gift cards & decided to use them here for a much needed date night with my husband!!! Everything about our experience was fabulous!! Our waitress was absolutely excellent. Their attention to detail definitely makes you feel like you are being pampered!! Loved it.
Vic and Anthony's has been one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The friendliness of the staff, the willingness to help, the attention to detail, everything was top notch. I've been to this restaurant twice and both times I had the Filet Mignon. It's been cooked to perfection (medium's the way I prefer) each time and served in a timely manner as well. Much lesser quality steakhouses can take nigh to 30-40 minutes. I wasn't counting but I feel that it was about 20-30 minute wait for our main entree, with the appetizer coming fairly quickly as well. The only thing that I would change would be the noise level. Sitting close to the kitchen probably doesnt help, but for a meal that easily surpasses $100, I prefer a quiet atmosphere.
First time for my wife & I. Excellent service and amazing food. You wont be disappointed when you leave. We will definitely be going back soon!
I have dined in the bar at Vic & Anthony's many times, but this was my first experience in the main dining room. Our service was exceptional, the sommelier was helpful but not pushy and the food was outstanding.
Truly a perfect steak! Cooked perfectly and served with smiles. Waitstaff was proficient and helpful.
Thouroughly enjoyed my visit to Vic & Anthony's. Food and service were both outstanding!!
My experience at vic and Anthony's was second to none, the food was delicious and the service was excellent, the filet mignon was excellent and the crab cake, best I've had so far since moving to Houston, you pay for what you get, I would highly recommend this place
I recently took my wife to dine with your restaurant to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. We had a great time and everything we ordered to eat was exceptional but my bone in rib eye. I ordered the steak medium and was asked to cut into my steak when they brought it to my table. I cut into the middle and it was pink like it should be. But as I got to the outer edges of the steak it was well done. I thought the steak lacked flavor. I have dined with you guys in the past and have order the same steak and thought it was much better in the past. I did not say anything to the waiter because I did not want to complain and take away from my wife and I's special night. Like I said earlier, everything thing else we had to eat was delicious.
From the time we enter till we left, the service was fantastic. They really go out of the way to make you feel welcome. The food was awesome. The steak was cooked perfect. My wife had the red snapper and my daughter had the salmon. They could not say enough about the restaurant.
I took my daughter to Vic and Anthony's for her 18th birthday. I had been telling her this for several years. We frequent Minute Maid park in downtown Houston and it happens to be next door (almost). This place lived up to my expectations; Classy, excellent service, and the food was outstanding. The cut of steak I got was excellent. I paid probably two times more than if I had taken her to an Outback, but it was well worth it for a special event like this one. This is not an every weekender, but if you are of modest income and want to experience a "cut" above, go check it out. I even think the snappy Jazzy band in the waiting lounge was first rate. Be sure and make a reservation, and dress proper for this is not your everyday eatery.
While food and service were fine, it would be good to reduce the noise level.
This place is pricey but worth it. The service is always over the top. Melody and Sonia in particular. If your guest are not accustomed to this level of dining, the staff will make them comfortable. Them manage to pull it off without being condescending. The food was as expected excellent and spot on.
Had a great time. Ordered the 16oz ribeye but was way too much to finish. The steak was large enougbt to share. Same withe the dessert. Overall had a great time and spent a lot of money, which is to be expected at a place like this.
This was the first time to use open table online as well. When they know it adds that little extra touch of customer service that my wife and I have come to expect over the years. Food still outstanding as always. Will be back but will call ahead and let the hostess know the occasion as in the past.

The Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association honored Dr. Gary Goldstein with the Outstanding Faculty Award at their annual meeting in Duluth, Minn., on Feb. 2-4, 2006. An associate clinical professor and director of the Dental Service, Dr. Goldstein consistently receives high marks from students for his teaching skills and enthusiasm. He has also presented numerous continuing education programs across the United States and contributed to more than 15 scholarly publications.
Dr. Goldstein is also known for his entrepreneurship. In addition to establishing the Dental Service, he initiated a monthly continuing education program in veterinary dentistry and is currently raising funds to establish a National Veterinary Dental Education Center at the University of Minnesota.

HomeAgriculture & FoodFoodLogistics & TradeGFSI Certification FSSC 22000
FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification covers the key requirements of many existing food safety standards and programs including: GMP, HACCP, SQF, BRC, IFS and GlobalGAP. FSSC 22000 is the most comprehensive food safety management system standard because it fully incorporates ISO 22000, PAS 220 PRPs, HACCP and the application steps of CODEX.
The FSSC 22000 standard is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). This allows your organization to use the FSSC 22000 standard to meet the requirements of several global retailers or major branded food companies under a single, internationally recognized food safety management system.
Food manufacturers already certified against ISO 22000 will only need a review of additional requirements in order to meet the FSSC 22000 standard. Contracting our experienced auditors can help your organization to simplify its certifications. If your organization holds any of the existing food safety programs discussed here we can help you build on that and make a seamless transition to FSSC 22000 certification.
FSSC 22000 can be applied to organizations of any size or complexity in food manufacturing. It does not matter whether they are for profit or not, nor whether they are public or private companies. This includes manufacturers of:
In July 2011, the certification scope of FSSC 22000 was extended to include packaging material manufacturing following the publication of PAS 223 – Prerequisite programs and design requirements for food safety in the manufacture and provision of food packaging. This standard covers four packaging sectors: plastic, paper and board, metal and glass.

There is angry and skeptical response to new details in the search for what is causing a high number of kids to get very sick in Eastern Sandusky County.
Whirlpool Corporation, the largest employer in Clyde, says results of in-depth testing at the old Whirlpool Park in nearby Green Springs found no evidence of hazardous illegal dumping or any health risk.
13 ABC's Christine Long has reaction to the company's claims of all clear from the site at the center of the cancer cluster probe.
"It's spin, it's misleading," says Chuck Boyk, the attorney for families of kids who died in the Clyde area cancer cluster. He is fighting back against claims this week by Whirlpool.
It centers around the results of testing at the old Whirlpool Park which the company bought in the 1950s and operated as a park for employees until selling it five years ago.
"It should provide peace of mind to residents of the community," says Jeff Noel, Whirlpool Vice President for Communications & Public Affairs.
Last year the US EPA found evidence of toxic sludge buried nine feet deep.
Whirlpool says its tests, which were done with oversight by the EPA, show no groundwater or pool filter contamination.
High levels of PCB's were found near the basketball court and former grist mill. The company says it's expected of fill dirt used before the 1970's.
"We believe the science and the data clearly show that there are no health risks and there is no association with the types of health issues and concerns that the families have raised," says Noel.
Families who have sued the company alleging wrongful death and loss of property values disagree.
"There's at least three or four cancer causing chemicals that are at least 50 to 80 times the legal limit set by the EPA," says Boyk.
"Some of the details of their report are a little different from what our results found," says Tom Bowlus, the attorney for the current owner of the 27-acre site.
Bowlus says Jonathan Abdoo, who is waiting to build is dream home, took split samples.
"He's a little bit bewildered and kind of upset that they didn't work with us and use our data," says Bowlus.
Whirlpool says it will pay for clean up.
"We don't know how it got there but we are responsible," says Noel.
Attorneys for families in the cancer cluster are requesting that Whirlpool allow them to go on site and take their own samples.

Bruce Beresford Movies
One of Australia's most popular and well-known directors,
Bruce Beresford
got his start producing short documentaries as the head of the British Film Institute Production Board from 1966 to 1970. After returning to Australia in 1971, he directed his first features, the rowdy
Barry Crocker
Barry Humphries
The Adventures Of Barry McKenzie
Barry McKenzie Holds His Own
, which he also co-scripted. Both films found great commercial success in Beresford's native country and helped to establish their director's reputation.
Beresford began attracting international attention in the late 1970s and early '80s with the satire
Don's Party
, the period drama
The Getting of Wisdom
, and
Breaker Morant
, a bitter account of the Boer War. The latter film, which was screened in competition at the 1980 Cannes Festival, won a particular amount of acclaim and a number of honors, including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Film.
In 1983, Beresford began making films in the States with the admired drama of a country singer,
Tender Mercies
; following that success (he won a Best Director Academy Award nomination for his work), his track record proved decidedly erratic, from the silliness of
King David
(1985), to his well-received adaptation of
Beth Henley
's tragi-comedy
Crimes of the Heart
(1986) to the critically acclaimed popular drama
Driving Miss Daisy
In 1991, Beresford's
The Black Robe
, a drama revolving around one of the more tumultuous periods in Canadian history, scored him another critical victory. As with his work during the previous decade, however, Beresford's subsequent efforts were erratic: while Mister Johnson (1991) and
Silent Fall
(1994), met with some favorable--if limited--recognition, films like
A Good Man in Africa
(1994) and the
Sharon Stone
death row drama
Last Dance
(1996), proved to be failures. He bounced back in 1997 with
Paradise Road
, a World War II drama starring
Cate Blanchett
Glenn Close
, and
Frances McDormand
, and in 1999 he directed
Double Jeopardy
, a thriller starring
Ashley Judd
Tommy Lee Jones

Director Bruce Beresford brings Jane Fonda back to the screen in this comedy-drama about a mother and daughter who have precious little in common. Diane (Catherine Keener) is a straight-laced Republican lawyer who lives in Manhattan with her teenage children Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) and Jake (Nat Wolff). However, Diane's marriage to Mark (Kyle MacLachlan) has fallen apart, and after receiving the final divorce papers, she needs to get out of the city for a while. Diane and her kids head to upstate New York, where she's decided it's time they met her mother Grace (Jane Fonda). Unlike her daughter, Grace was and is a proud hippie, the unofficial leader of the town's countercultural community who supports herself by selling marijuana. Grace and Diane haven't spoken for nearly twenty years, and just as Grace hasn't changed a bit over the years, Diane hasn't found a way to forgive her for her failings as a parent. As mother and daughter get reacquainted, Zoe has her head turned by Cole (Chace Crawford), even though he's a butcher and she doesn't eat meat, and Jake falls for Tara (Marissa O'Donnell), who he meets at a coffee shop. And as Diane searches for common ground with Grace, she also finds time to be romanced by local musician Jude (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The true story of Li Cunxin and his journey from rural China to the bright lights of ballet stardom is brought to the screen in this biographical drama from director Bruce Beresford. In 1972, 11-year-old Li Cunxin (Huang Wenbin) is living with his parents, Niang (Joan Chen) and Dia (Wang Shuangbao), and six siblings while attending a tumbledown school in Shandog province. Li's life changes when representatives of Madame Mao's Beijing Dance Academy visit his school, and he is one of several students believed to have promise as a dancer. While life at the school is difficult for Li and many of the instructors are harsh and unforgiving, Chan (Zhang Su) takes the boy under his wing and grooms him into one of the school's star pupils. In 1981, Li (now played by Chi Cao) is chosen to travel to the United States as part of a student exchange with the Houston Ballet Company. Under the tutelage of Ben Stevenson (Bruce Greenwood), the company's director, Li impresses his peers and is given a key role in a televised production of Die Fledermaus; despite an attack of stage fright, Li's performance is a triumph. As Li came to love life in the United States, he also falls for an attractive young dancer, Elizabeth (Amanda Schull), and when his time in America draws to a close, he makes the decision to leave his old life behind and pursue a life of personal and creative freedom in America. Also starring Kyle MacLachlan and Camilla Vergotis, Mao's Last Dancer received its world premiere at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Mental illness stretches a loving family to the breaking point in this independent drama. Chris Marino (Devon Gearhart) is a ten-year-old boy growing up in a small oceanside community in Florida. Chris's father John (Joe Pantoliano) is a construction worker who is struggling to hold the family together under difficult circumstances -- his wife and Chris' mother, Mary (Marcia Gay Harden), has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and while they've been pursuing a variety of treatment options, Mary's condition continues to slowly deteriorate as she hears phantom sounds, has hallucinations, and becomes increasingly paranoid. While Joe tries to explain Mary's disease to Chris, her actions have turned her into an increasingly frightening and embarrassing stranger to her son, and Mary is clearly aware of the toll her condition has taken on the family but cannot help herself. After a violent incident results in a call from the police, Mary enters a mental hospital, and as Joe begins to buckle under the pressure of his circumstances, he quits his job and devotes all his spare time to building a sailboat, a project that reminds him of better days for Mary and himself. Canvas was the first feature film from writer and director Joseph Greco, who drew inspiration from the story of his mother, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was growing up. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Pimp My Ride [TV Series]
Like so many other MTV series, Pimp My Ride bore a title that never would have gotten to first base in past television seasons. However, the subject matter was fairly benign despite the "P" word. The exotically yclept Xzibit served as host of the series, in which various automobiles that had seen better days -- or were butt-ugly to begin with -- were plucked off the streets of Southern California and "pimped," or reconditioned, to look like sleek, sassy luxury vehicles. These rebirths usually required not only a paint and tire job, but a total remake and an arsenal of cool accessories. Each half-hour episode opened with a lively hip-hop theme song composed by Jeff Cardoni ("So you wanna be a playa/But your wheels ain't fly/You gotta hit us up/To get a pimped out ride...") Xzibit would select the honored car of the week, which would then be placed in the expert hands of the mechanics and artisans of West Coast Customs, an establishment owned by Ryan Friedlinghaus. The series regulars included paint and body experts Aren, Ish, Jimmy, Buck, and 2Shae; suspension and body specialist Danny; wheels and tires maven Alex; electronics wiz Ryan; and accessories man Big Dane. Created by Bruce Beresford and Rick Hurvitz, Pimp My Ride debuted March 4, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Antonio Banderas plays the title role in this cable-TV reenactment of a little-known chapter in the life of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. The year is 1914: With Villa's war of rebellion against the Huerta forces going badly, he hits upon a brilliant method to finance his crusade. Actually, the idea is brought to him: American filmmakers D.W. Griffith (Colm Feore) and Harry Aiken (Jim Broadbent), then busy at work on The Birth of a Nation, approach Villa with a request that he sell them the movie rights to his revolution. Acting as Griffith and Aiken's representative, junior executive Frank Thayer (Eion Bailey) tags along with Villa as the rebel leader willingly "directs" the film of his campaign, even going so far as to delay mass executions until early morning so that the cameramen won't "lose the sun." Ultimately, Villa's dreams of cinematic glory are dashed when the American public, goaded on by certain special interest groups, turns against Pancho and his noble cause. By turns comic, tragic, gruesome, and ironic, And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself was first telecast by HBO on September 7, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One man takes on the Irish family law system and the Catholic Church in a bid to be reunited with his children in this drama, based on a true story. In 1953, Desmond Doyle (Pierce Brosnan) was a house painter and decorator who, despite a strong work ethic, had a hard time holding on to steady work. Desmond's wife had grown tired of her marriage and her husband's financial problems, and one day walked away from her home, leaving Desmond to raise their three children on his own. While Desmond struggles to keep body and soul together for his children, his sporadic employment eventually attracts the attention of the law, and a court order sends his two sons and young daughter to separate Catholic orphanages until Desmond can prove he's capable of properly supporting them. However, Desmond discovers merely getting work is not enough to bring his children back to him, and when he learns that his daughter, Evelyn (Sophie Vavasseur), is having a rough time of it at the hands of several stern nuns, he becomes determined to win their custody in a court of law. Through Bernadette (Julianna Margulies), a barmaid who has caught his eye, Desmond meets Michael Beattie (Stephen Rea), a lawyer and Bernadette's brother. While Michael doesn't believe Desmond's case can be won in an Irish court, his partner Nick Barron (Aidan Quinn), an expatriate American who lost custody of his own children in a divorce proceeding, is eager to help, and they agree to take the case. However, they both realize they're fighting an uphill battle, and so they persuade Thomas Connolly (Alan Bates), a former football star who became one of Ireland's most respected barristers, to lend his knowledge and prestige to the case. Leading man Bronson also served a co-producer for Evelyn; Bruce Beresford directed, who previously collaborated with Pierce Brosnan on Mister Johnson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) delivers this fact-based drama about one of the most fascinating private lives of the 20th century. Alma Schindler (Sarah Wynter) was one of the most renowned young beauties in turn-of-the-century Vienna, sought after as a romantic conquest by some of the most famous men in the city, including the artist Gustav Klimt (August Schmolzer). She is won, however, by the most challenging and enigmatic artistic figure of them all, composer/conductor Gustav Mahler (Jonathan Pryce). His one demand is that she give up her own aspirations as a composer, which she has nursed for years. She agrees, and their marriage proves to be a devoted yet loveless union, producing two children but leaving Alma bereft of affection. She suppresses her frustrations as her husband's star rises, sublimating her ambitions completely. His career advances yield extraordinary music but equally notable controversies, and the marriage is riven by stress. When their oldest daughter dies, Alma's health is broken. While convalescing at a sanitarium, she meets another patient, Walter Gropius (Simon Verhoeven). He is gentle and attentive, and they begin an affair, which her husband accidentally learns of later. Their marriage survives, but Mahler also knows that he is a doomed man because of a damaged heart. After his death, Alma Mahler marries Gropius, an ambitious young architect with revolutionary ideas. Their marriage lasts but a few years, for Alma is drawn to another man, the artist Oskar Kokoschka (Vincent Perez). Kokoschka is young, iconoclastic, and daring -- all of the things that the career- and status-oriented Gropius isn't. Their affair yields a renowned painting of Alma that Kokoschka calls Bride of the Wind, a depiction of their passion amid a storm-swept background. They also conceive a child that Alma decides not to carry to term. She returns to Gropius for a time, while Kokoschka sells the painting for enough money to buy a commission in the army, and he is reported killed in action during World War I. Finally, after leaving Gropius, Alma meets a gifted author, Franz Werfel (Gregor Seberg), whom she marries. Her past catches up with her in an odd way, however, when Kokoschka returns, having survived the war and captivity -- he is still obsessed with Alma, to the point that he walks around Vienna in the company of a life-size doll of her, which he destroys in a fit of anger one night at a party. Meanwhile, in Alma's life with Franz Werfel, she finally finds peace and fulfillment, even as a composer -- the movie ends with a 1925 recital at which soprano Frances Alda (Renee Fleming) performed Alma Mahler Werfel's songs. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Based on the testimony of survivors, this historical drama recounts the WWII heroism of female prisoners of war. (Glenn Close) stars as Adrienne Partiger, a society doyenne who flees Singapore with other expatriate women, mostly the wives of servicemen, when Japanese forces invade in 1942. When their gunboat is sunk in an air attack, the survivors wash ashore on Japanese-held Sumatra. The women are interned in a grim POW camp where punishments for even minor infractions are extreme. With the help of a missionary (Pauline Collins), Partiger corrals the women, including a tough American (Julianna Margulies), an Australian nurse (Cate Blanchett) and a young wife (Jennifer Ehle) into a musical group. Since singing is not allowed, the a cappella chorus dubs itself "a vocal orchestra" and is tolerated -- if barely -- by their Japanese captors. Though living conditions are squalid, food is scarce, and a thin sliver of soap inspires a shower brawl, the music keeps spirits uplifted and a Jewish-German doctor (Frances McDormand) provides some medical aid. Writer-director Bruce Beresford interviewed real-life participants in similar POW musical groups. Some provided, from memory, sheet music of the pieces they performed, which were used in the film. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The relationship between an unproven lawyer and the female convict he attempts to save from execution is detailed in this death-row drama. Sharon Stone plays against type as Cindy Liggett, convicted of murder at the age of 19, who has spent over a decade in prison awaiting execution. Having resigned herself to her eventual death, she cares little when her case falls into the hands of newly appointed clemency board attorney Rick Hayes (Rob Morrow). Hayes devotes himself to her case, however, and uncovers several inconsistencies regarding her earlier trial. Seeing a chance to save Liggett's life, Hayes fights for a stay of execution but finds himself facing opposition from powerful political figures and even Liggett herself. Largely ignored at the box office, the film suffered in comparison to Dead Man Walking (1995), the Academy Award-winning drama whose treatment of the death penalty theme may still have been fresh in the minds of audiences. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

This by-the-numbers psychodrama about a child psychologist trying to discern the truth behind a pair of murders stars Richard Dreyfuss as Dr. Jake Rainer, a child psychologist living in an upscale community. Rainer retired when a patient committed suicide, but the local sheriff (J.T. Walsh) calls him to the scene of a double murder. In a lavish home, Rainer meets Tim Warden (Ben Faulkner) and his sister Sylvie (Liv Tyler, in her feature film debut), whose parents have been brutally slain. Sylvie hid in a closet and didn't see the killer, but Tim, who is autistic and cannot communicate, witnessed the crime. Rainer starts the complicated process of reaching Tim through gentle psychological techniques based on his theory that autistics think in sequences, while a colleague (John Lithgow) simply wants to drug the child into revealing the killer's identity. The real-life son of child psychologists who worked with autistic children, Silent Fall screenwriter Akiva Goldsman had better success with his first film, an adaptation of The Client (1994), a drama with a similar plot and themes. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A Good Man in Africa
Based on a novel by William Boyd (who also wrote the film's screenplay), this darkly witty drama explores the political, social, and sexual gamesmanship of a group of British and African politicians. Morgan Leafy (Colin Friels) is a British diplomat who, for the past three years, has been assigned to the British High Commission of Ninjana, an African nation slowly divesting itself of colonial rule. Leafy is an arrogant and frequently confused alcoholic romantically involved with an African woman named Hazel (Jackie Mofokeng). Arthur Fanshawe (John Lithgow), a new High Commission appointee who wants nothing more than to be promoted and moved out of Africa, brings some interesting news to Leafy: massive reserves of oil have been discovered in Ninjana, and if the British want to reap the full profits of this windfall, they will want to stay on the good side of Sam Adekunle (Louis Gossett Jr.), who in all likelihood will be the next president of Ninjana. However, something of a diplomatic crisis has come up; a native woman was struck by lightning in the courtyard of the High Commission's compound, and the locals insist that she cannot be moved until certain time-honored rituals have been performed. At a loss for advice, Leafy turns to Dr. Alex Murray (Sean Connery), a Scottish doctor who has been in Africa for 23 years and is one of the few people equally at ease with both the British colonials and the natives. However, Leafy doesn't seem so eager to seek out assistance in his romantic problems; while he's involved with Hazel, Leafy also finds himself dallying with Adekunle's wife Celia (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) and Fanshawe's wife Chloe (Diana Rigg). By the way, don't bother looking for Ninjana on a map -- it doesn't really exist. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Curse of the Starving Class
Based on the award-winning play by Sam Shepard, this drama offers an unblinking look at a family desperately clinging to the last threads of the American dream. Weston Tate (James Woods) is an alcoholic Viet Nam veteran struggling to hold on to the family's farm; he often brags about his grand plans for the place, but in truth the land is just one step away from foreclosure. His wife Ella (Kathy Bates) is determined to hold her family together, though she often dreams of running away and isn't above sleeping with corrupt land developer Taylor (Randy Quaid) if it will help keep the farm in her family's hands. Their son Wesely (Henry Thomas) has the soul of a poet and dreams of a better life, while his sister Emma (Kristin Fiorella) has inherited her mother's strength, but also her mother's burden in holding the Tates together. Noted filmmaker Bruce Beresford adapted Shepard's play for the screen and served as executive producer; Michael McClary directed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rich in Love
The final installment of what might be called Bruce Beresford's southern trilogy (the other films being Crimes of the Heart and Driving Miss Daisy) examines a disintegrating Southern family. The Odom family live in an elegant mansion, where Warren (Albert Finney) is retired and spends the days puttering around the house. One day, his daughter, a high school honor student named Lucille (Kathryn Erbe) finds a letter written by her mother Helen (Jill Clayburgh) declaring her intentions of leaving the family. Quickly re-writing the letter to remove the harsh words, she finishes it just in time for Warren to read it. Warren is crestfallen at the news of Helen's departure, telling her, "Lucille, I feel knocked off my perch about this." Warren descents into a depression as she and Warren await the return of Helen. After it becomes apparent Helen is not returning, Lucille drops out of high school to care for the home and her father, while Warren strikes up a relationship with available widow Vera Delmage (Piper Laurie). But then Lucille's no-nonsense older sister, Rae (Suzy Amis) arrives with her husband Billy McQueen (Kyle MacLachlan). Rae is pregnant and announces her intention of staying for awhile. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Black Robe

Adapted by Brian Moore from his own novel, The Black Robe is a sprawling recreation of a turbelent period in Canadian history. In 1634, Jesuit missionary Father Laforgue (Lothair Bluteau) arrives in the New World, hoping to convert the Huron Indian tribe to Catholicism-and, incidentally, to expedite the French colonization of Quebec. Laforgue is regarded with a combination of warmth and wariness by the natives, who refer to Laforgue and his fellow priests as "black robes". Offering his services as both guide and friend is Algonquin chief Chomina (August Schellenberg). The by-the-book Laforgue does little to endear himself to the Indians-one of whom, a holy man, labels the priest as a demon who will bring nothing but death and destruction. The one who suffers most is Chomina, the man who most desires peaceful coexistence. In an ironic coda, we learn that the "black robes" have set into motion the fall of the Hurons, simply by imposing their Christian values upon them. Black Robe has been compared to Dances with Wolves, but the films do not share the same philosophy: while the idealistic hero of Wolves strives to understand and appreciate his new Indian comrades, the pious protagonist of Black Robe has only conversion in mind. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Director Bruce Beresford followed up his Academy Award-winning Driving Miss Daisy with another meditation on race, Mister Johnson. Set in West Africa in 1923, Johnson (Maynard Eziashi), the clerk of British administrator Harry Rudbeck (Pierce Brosnan), attempts everything within his power to ingratiate himself into white society. Johnson hatches a plan to juggle the books so that Rudbeck will have the capital necessary to achieve his ultimate dream of a "great northern road," but when his scheme is uncovered, he is fired. After finding another job with a shopkeeper named Gollop (Edward Woodward), he is again fired for his "creative" financing skills; however, Rudbeck hires him back to oversee the road construction project. When funds are cut off, Johnson convinces workers to do their jobs for free to ensure the project's completion. Once again, he is caught embezzling, and once again, he is let go; in a fit of desperation, he robs and kills Gollup. After confessing to the crime, he begs Rudbeck to kill him, sparing him the humiliation of public execution. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

In Paul Verhoeven's wild sci-fi action movie Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a 21st-century construction worker who discovers that his entire memory of the past derives from a memory chip implanted in his brain. Schwarzenegger learns that he's actually a secret agent who had become a threat to the government, so those in power planted the chip and invented a domestic lifestyle for him. Once he has realized his true identity, he travels to Mars to piece together the rest of his identity, as well as to find the man responsible for his implanted memory. Verhoeven has created a fast, furious action film with Total Recall, filled with impressive stunts and (literally) eye-popping visuals. Though the film bears only a passing resemblance to the Philip K. Dick short story it was based on ("We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"), the movie is an entertaining, if very violent, ride. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry, Driving Miss Daisy affectionately covers the 25-year relationship between a wealthy, strong-willed Southern matron (Jessica Tandy) and her equally indomitable Black chauffeur, Hoke (Morgan Freeman). Both employer and employee are outsiders, Hoke because of the color of his skin, Miss Daisy because she is Jewish in a WASP-dominated society. At the same time, Hoke cannot fathom Miss Daisy's cloistered inability to grasp the social changes that are sweeping the South in the 1960s. Nor can Miss Daisy understand why Hoke's "people" are so indignant. It is only when Hoke is retired and Miss Daisy is confined to a home for the elderly that the two fully realize that they've been friends and kindred spirits all along. The supporting cast includes Esther Rolle as Miss Daisy's housekeeper and Dan Aykroyd as Miss Daisy's son, Boolie (reportedly, playwright Uhry based the character upon himself). Driving Miss Daisy won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress (Jessica Tandy), Best Screenplay (Uhry), and Best Makeup (Manlio Rochetti). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A frustrated writer helps save a woman being railroaded by the law -- or is she? -- in this comic mystery with romantic overtones. Phil Blackwood (Tom Selleck) is a best-selling mystery novelist who has run into a bad case of writer's block. Hoping to find inspiration for his next book, Phil goes to the city courthouse and witnesses the arraignment of Nina Ionescu (Paulina Porizkova), a beautiful Romanian immigrant who is accused of killing a man with a pair of scissors. For Phil, it's love at first sight, and after sneaking into jail disguised as a priest, he makes her an offer. Phil offers to let her stay at his house, and he provides her with an alibi -- she can claim that she couldn't have committed the crime, because she was with him at the time of the attack. Nina agrees, but after Phil encounters a handful of dangerous foreign agents, Nina's acrobatic parents, and a highly suspicious district attorney, he begins to wonder if Nina might have committed the murder after all. Her Alibi also features William Daniels as Sam, and James Farentino as Frank Polito; the song "Falling In Love" was written and recorded for the film by Randy Newman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An international collection of well-known directors contributed to this compilation film, each fashioning a short film inspired by an aria from a famous opera. The approaches vary broadly, from the playful abstraction of Jean-Luc Godard's segment, which illustrates Armide with exercising body-builders, to the more literal approach of Franc Roddam, who transports Tristan und Isolde's story to modern-day Las Vegas. A particular stand-out is Julian Temple's take on Rigoletto, which recasts Verdi as the accompaniment to a contemporary Southern California sex farce. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

As much as what Apple may or may not do with iOS 6 will dictate the iPhone and iPad user experience for the next year, what Apple does or does not do with the App Store will help determine the continued and future viability of the platform itself.
That's because iOS is only one part of Apple's incredibly successful mobile equation. The App Store -- the development kit, commerce engine, and digital goods that enable apps to be made, sold, and bought -- is another.
And arguably, despite it's unprecedented success, it's in ever greater need of Apple's attention.

You'll hear a lot more discussion of this at the tail end of tonights iPhone & iPad Live podcast with Seth Clifford of Nickelfish and David Barnard of App Cubby, but as rumors are spreading that WWDC 2012 might bring with it an "App Store" for Apple TV, I wanted to get something up on the site about it as well.
Apple has recently removed Airfoil Speakers Touch by Rogue Amoeba and AirFloat by The Famous Software Company from the iTunes App Store for using AirPlay APIs that Apple has deemed non-public.
Apple has made some minor changes to the layout of the App Store within iTunes; the same changes are reflected on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. With such a huge number of apps now available in the App Store finding what you are looking has gone from hit and miss to downright daunting. Apple has been rumored to be completely revamping its iTunes software but in the meantime, they're still tweaking what we have now.
Apple has just announced its line up for the annual iTunes Festival. The event which first started in 2007 has been hugely popular as all of the tickets are given away free of charge. The live concerts all take place at London's The Roundhouse and it all kicks off on September 1st and goes on until September 30th.
Apple is currently rejecting apps that use the Dropbox SDK to provide integration with the popular cloud storage solution. The reason for the rejections is apparently that, under a specific but not inevitable set of circumstances, someone using an app with Dropbox integration could end up on Dropbox's web site and find a way to pay Dropbox for additional storage. That would violate Apple's prohibition against using external websites to circumvent Apple's 30% cut of subscriptions.
Apple is pushing the benefits of using an iPhone in business with the launch of a new webpage on its site. The new page is simply titled "iPhone in Business" and it runs through a reasonably extensive lists of business orientated apps and features.
Apple has approved an app called Bluetooth OnOff that simply allows you to turn your Bluetooth connection on and off from your home screen. Apple hasn't previously permitted any apps that connect and interact to stock settings until now; so this is an interesting development.
UK TV network Channel Five's The Gadget Show aired a 360 degree promo video for its new series which starts next week. The promo which aired last night was the first of its kind ever to be shown.
The classic PC game Max Payne is set to arrive on the iOS platform next week, April 12th to be exact. Rockstar has announced that it will have the original version of Max Payne ready for iOS next week and it will be called Max Payne Mobile.
