Two Years into Global Recession: New Report Reveals Disproportionate Impact on Immigrants, Particularly Men and Youth
WASHINGTON/LONDON — Immigrants, particularly men and youth, have been hit disproportionately by the global economic crisis that began in autumn 2008 and now confront a reality of dwindling budgets for public services and immigrant integration programs, a new Migration Policy Institute (MPI) report for BBC World Service finds.
The study published Thursday, October 7 — Migration and Immigrants Two Years after the Financial Collapse: Where Do We Stand? — reports that the unemployment gap between immigrants and the native born has widened in many countries (Germany being a notable exception), with wide variations by country. The gap proved largest in Spain, rising to 12.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 4.4 percent before the recession's onset.
Released as part of BBC's Hard Times season, which looks at austerity measures across the world, this new report is a follow up to last year's MPI study for BBC World Service — Migration and the Global Recession — which examined the impact of the global recession on migration flows, remittances, employment and poverty rates.
The latest report reveals that the toll has been particularly hard for migrant men, who are often concentrated in the sectors that experienced the most serious contractions (notably construction and manufacturing) and immigrant youth (ages 15-24). Unemployment among foreign-born youth has reached 41 percent in Spain, 37 percent in Sweden and 20 percent in Canada. By contrast, immigrant women have fared better than immigrant men in almost all wealthy countries.
The report, which offers a particular focus on five North Atlantic countries — Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom and United States — also finds that certain immigrant groups and minorities have lost the most ground economically during the recession: Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the United Kingdom, North African and Andean immigrants in Spain and Hispanics in the United States.
Among the study's other findings:
"The economic boom of much of the last two decades drove robust growth in many countries' immigrant populations, but the foundations for this growth have now been shaken, with public skepticism about immigration greater and barriers to immigrants' integration higher than before the economic crisis," said MPI President Demetrios Papademetriou. "The question is: Have advanced nations reached an inflection point with respect to immigration, or, as economic growth returns, will the pre-recession migration trends and patterns return?"
Migration and Immigrants Two Years after the Financial Collapse: Where Do We Stand? is available at bbc.com/business and www.migrationpolicy.org.

About: Migration and Immigrants Two Years after the Financial Collapse report: The BBC World Service report commissioned from MPI explores how, two years after the onset of the global economic crisis, migrants have fared in select labor markets in Europe and the United States. The report offers a particular focus on five North Atlantic countries – Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom and United States — examining immigration policies and program cuts those governments have implemented as well as migration and remittance flow changes. The 126-page report compares migrant and native worker employment, providing data on migrants by age, gender, education and region of origin.

Dorset Police has been working together with the Royal Navy to test security arrangements and systems in advance of the Olympic Games this summer.
Royal Navy ship HMS Bulwark spent five days in the water off Weymouth and Portland from Monday, 30 April 2012 as part of a security testing exercise.
Dorset is the largest Olympic and Paralympic venue outside of London and hosts the only other full time Olympic Village.
Assistant Chief Constable Adrian Whiting is leading the Games safety and security operation in Dorset. He said: "This summer will see the ultimate celebration of sport and we are working with partners to ensure a safe and secure Games in Dorset.
"Our role includes supporting the organisers and athletes by ensuring the fields of play on the water are safe and secure – an area of approximately 50 square miles. To do this, we will use small watercraft, including rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) and personal watercraft (jet skis), as well as launches crewed by Dorset officers and marine police officers from other forces around the country.
"In partnership with the Royal Navy, Dorset Police will have access to the widest range of maritime capabilities and expertise."
The Olympic safety and security operation in Dorset is supported by all three Services – Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force – as well as local authority and emergency service partners, particularly through the Bournemouth, Dorset & Poole Local Resilience Forum. The military support is a fundamental aspect of safety & security operations on land and in the air, as well as this aspect on the water.
HMS Bulwark will return to Weymouth and Portland in July for the Games and will be used by Dorset Police as a command base during the Olympic and Paralympic Windsurfing and Sailing events.

Anyone see that retired Marine on YouTube sing the forth verse of the Star Spangled Banner? The title on the video says second verse if I recall correctly.

Buddy Knox
Buddy Knox
Buddy Knox was the first artist of the rock & roll era to write and record his own number one hit, 1957's million-selling classic "Party Doll" -- a pioneer of the Lone Star State rockabilly sound that would later earn the name "Tex-Mex," the arc of his career anticipated that of fellow Texan Buddy Holly, yet while Holly is now enshrined in the pantheon of rock's true immortals, Knox's contributions remain sadly underappreciated. Wayne Knox was born July 20, 1933 on a farm just outside the tiny West Texas town of Happy -- during World War II, his mother Gladys performed with her siblings as part of a family gospel group, although his love of country music first inspired him to pick up the guitar. After high school Knox attended West Texas State College, earning a business administration degree while moonlighting in an amateur vocal group called the Serenaders that also included double bassist Jimmy Bowen and guitarist Donny Lanier; in 1955, the trio rechristened themselves the Rhythm Orchids, so named after their purple shirts they wore on-stage. With the addition of drummer Don Mills, who first joined the Rhythm Orchids on-stage with nothing more than a pair of brushes and a cardboard box, the group's melancholy country covers acquired a swinging backbeat approximating something close to rock & roll, much to the delight of the assembled barroom patrons.

How did you create it? We sketched out the garden on paper as a big rectangle that could accommodate these 8'x4' boxes (8' is stock lumber sizing and handy to use as a basic length). I wanted to have plenty of room for passing through from two entrances, two tall boxes for herbs and a nice clear space to use as a dining area. Eating in the garden was a must!
The boxes were built over one month with a rudimentary fence, but had to be rebuilt the next summer when we discovered moles coming up from underneath and eating the veggies. We had to put chicken wire underneath each box.
The full fence took another three summers to finish (I just added the ultra deer proofing this past month), and part of the issue (which I forgot) was that I originally built the garden to be half the size and then expanded it the next summer because it was too small and Sara wanted to plant more.
Deer have been the bane of our existence. They have destroyed every crop, eventually getting through in the fall and spring, despite our best attempts. The fence now is over 7' tall and made of wire. I still have to replace the corner posts with 4x4's to really take the tension, as the 1x1's now will not last much longer.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? We really like our local hardware stores for the little stuff, but Sara orders her plants from these sources:
• peaceful valley farm - groworganic.com
• local farmers market
• Favorite Seed Catalogs here
• Ikea for the tables and chairs
• Overstock.com for pretty nice, cheap market umbrellas


text: Adult Winter Reading Program: zstock's Titles Statecraft as Soulcraft by George F. Will (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) It's amazing that Mr. Will was allowed to maintain his "conservative" credentials after publishing this book. Certainly, the tea-party crowd circa 2010 would have stripped him of such pretense had the book appeared more recently. The book is nothing less than an assault on pure libertarian philosophy (think Ayn Rand and company). In the course of the attack, many of the current conservative bromides fall. It turns out that some conservatives don't believe that government is always THE problem. Some of them believe in a social safety net, and many think that the President should be more than the reigning CEO. I KNOW! This is shocking stuff. Revelation or not, this is classic George Will. If you enjoy and agree with his columns and television commentary, you will almost hear his voice. If you feel somewhat estranged from current Republican orthodoxy, you might also find solace in this book. -- Added by zstock on 02/26/2013 Add Comment The Affluent Society by John Kenneth Galbraith (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) Many people under a certain age (like me), aren't as familiar with Galbraith as they should be. Despite being a major influence on leading Democrats of the late 20th Century, Galbraith's ideas never really gained ground. Conservatives revile him, and are glad of this fact. Yet, conservative and liberal alike will find ideas they agree with in these pages. In fact, they might find ways to craft policy, especially tax policy, that would be acceptable to both camps. That alone should recommend the book to anyone interested in politics today. -- Added by zstock on 02/21/2013 Add Comment The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography) With a complicated plot and a disgusting protagonist, this book skewers anti-semitisim in particular and all conspiracy theories in general. Basically, the book is one large meditation on the meaning of truth. It can be a tough slog, but you will be thinking about what you know and how you know it before the end. -- Added by zstock on 02/08/2013 Add Comment I found this book very entertaining. It is amazing how politics, religious fervor, theft, forgery, lies, and the media still run the world today.....it's frightening how untruths are allowed to proliferate societies. Nothing has been learned throughout the centuries. It could have been 100 pages shorter. -- sarasotasun on 02/15/2013 Foundation by Isaac Asimov (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health) Foundation is an interesting take on a certain philosophy of history dressed up in a classic space opera. It's faith in social science is entertaining, and the use of the Roman Empire as a template for all of history will not be unfamiliar to the doomsayers of today. The "science" in this mid-twentieth century sci-fi classic will seem quaint in our age of luxury, but this has the effect of making the book more endearing. If you like old-school science fiction and haven't yet read this book, you definitely should. -- Added by zstock on 02/01/2013 Add Comment Best Sci-Fi series ever. After 60 years it still stands the test of time, topically, socially, and technologically. -- Cabin Boy on 02/03/2013 Churchill by Paul Johnson (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography) A very good summary of a great man's life. -- Added by zstock on 01/31/2013 Add Comment Keynes by Robert Skidelsky (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) If you are a conservative of a certain stripe, the name Keynes is undoubtedly synonymous with bolshevism itself. You might, therefore, steer clear of anything that would purport to extol the brilliance Keynes's thought. Please resist that urge. This book, while slightly technical and overly fawning, does much to show just how "conservative" Keynes could be. At the very least, the book shows just how relevant his thought remains today. -- Added by zstock on 01/27/2013 Add Comment Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography) This book has something for every type of reader. The title really says it all. -- Added by zstock on 01/19/2013 Add Comment Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health) My only excuse for recording this in an adult reading program: My 8-year-old loves the series, and I, having never read the books or watched the movies, wanted to see what it's all about. If you are in the same situation, you might want to know that the book is fun but definitely for kids. -- Added by zstock on 01/17/2013 Add Comment Paris 1919 by Margaret MacMillan (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) If you want to explore the development of many of the most persistent problems in international relations, this book will add some interesting perspective. It also draws very entertaining portraits of the diplomats and elected leaders who practically ruled the world for a few short months in 1919. -- Added by zstock on 01/17/2013 Add Comment

Keane: No offer for Garvan
Ipswich boss Roy Keane has denied reports Crystal Palace have made an offer for Owen Garvan.The midfielder is rumoured to be a target for former Town manager George Burley, who has recently taken charge at Selhurst Park.Garvan only started 14 games in the Championship for Ipswich last season but Keane says he has not received any bids for the 22-year-old."I think there's obviously stories about offers going in for our players but there's been no offer for Owen Garvan," Keane told Sky Sports News."Managers have conversations every day about players and I've done the same but in terms of concrete offers for Owen Garvan, it is certainly not true."

"). After Layforce (and No.8 Commando) were disbanded on 1 August 1941, Stirling remained convinced that due to the mechanised nature of war a small team of highly trained soldiers with the advantage of surprise could exact greater damage to the enemy's ability to fight than an entire platoon.

was invented, the first hand-held dual explosive and incendiary device. American jeeps, which were able to deal with the harsh desert terrain better than other transport, were adapted and fitted with obsolete RAF machine guns. He also pioneered the use of small groups to escape detection. Stirling often led from the front, his SAS units driving through enemy airfields to shoot up aircraft and crew rather than stopping to attach bombs to enemy aircraft. These hit-and-run operations proved Stirling's undoing; he was captured by the Germans in January 1943. Although he escaped, he was subsequently re-captured by the Italians, who took great delight in the embarrassment this caused to their German allies. A further four escape attempts were made, before Stirling was finally sent to

In the fifteen months before Stirling's capture, the SAS had destroyed over 250 aircraft on the ground, dozens of supply dumps, wrecked railways and telecommunications, and had put hundreds of enemy vehicles out of action. Montgomery of Alamein described Stirling as 'mad, quite mad' but admitted that men like Stirling were needed at time of war.
Mercenary work
Worried that Britain was losing its power after the War, Stirling organised deals to sell British weapons and military personnel to other countries, like

Later life
Stirling was the founder of the Capricorn Africa Society - a society for promoting an Africa free from racial discrimination. Founded in 1949, while Africa was still under colonial rule, it had its high point at the 1956 Salima Conference. However, because of his emphasis on a qualified and highly elitist voting franchise, Africans opposed it. Conversely Caucasian settlers believed it to be too liberal. Consequently the society was ineffective, although surprisingly the

Stirling was concerned about the political power of trade unions in Britain, and planned to establish an organisation GB75, which he described as "an organisation of apprehensive patriots" which would help the country in the event of strikes.

West Ham United FC Boleyn Ground Away Fans Away fans are housed in one end, in the lower tier of the relatively modern Sir Trevor Brooking Stand. The usual allocation for away supporters is 2,200, but if demand requires, away fans can be allocated the whole of the lower tier of the North Stand, where up to 3,600 supporters can be accommodated. The ground is compact, with the fans are seated close to the pitch. This coupled with the passionate support of the West Ham faithful can make for a vibrant atmosphere. However this can be intimidating for away supporters, so exercise caution around the ground. I personally enjoyed my visit and it is certainly not as bad as it was a few years ago and the West Ham fans can still give rendition of their club anthem 'I'm forever blowing bubbles....'. Inside the ground the Shire Foods Chicken Balti Pie' (Ł2.60) is available.

So after reasearching all day it seem there will be no new expliots for my new wii anytime soon. So I decided to get the Wiinja Modchip. And ive got some questions and be truthful.
1-I noticed that when you dis-assemble it you have to take off some rubber pieces. Do they come back on while re-assembling.
2-It says that it is non-upgradeable. What does that mean.
3- Do the wii games require you to upgrade when you get it? like the PSP does.
4-What are the chances this will break my wii? Will this be fairly easily to someone who has replaced DVD drives, added more mem in a comp? When soldering Is it easy to hit the circiut board in the back?
5- Does dust ruin the system? it does with the PSP. it it does what should i do?
6-Is there a possible chance of ruining your system when re-assembling?
7-AND hope this isnt against the rules is there anyother way to backup my games wihtout the LG drive with the mod chip insttaled(sucha as some kinda homebrew). Ive already scratched my Wii Sports game.
Thx in adv

Q: I'm in a situation where I am subleasing an apartment that went into foreclosure some time ago. Apparently the building was sold to a few banks before it went up for auction on 6/6/12. My guess would be because the person who owned it could not only, Not pay his mortgage, but could not afford to make repairs for the many code violations on the building. I'm not sure if anyone has purchased the building since the auction.
My questions is: if the bank owns a building, do they still collect rent from tenants? Should they still be collecting rent from tenants? My Sub-landlord is technically the tenant, but is not occupying the apartment. I have an agreement with my sub-landlord to pay $700 + utilities for the apartment. He has not provided me with any information on who owns the building or to whom he is paying rent to. This makes me feel a bit uneasy and almost makes me think that he is pocketing the money, but I cannot figure out exactly what is going on.
I have asked another friend of mine who is in commercial real estate and he suggests that I stop paying rent, waiting to see if I receive some sort of 10-day notice to vacate the premises. My sublease us up at the end of August and will be looking for another apartment. Do you have any idea what might be going on? I'm trying to look at this from different angles and I want to make sure I make the right move, in the event I do decide to up and leave. Thank for your help!
–Luis, Chicago, IL
A: I say try to find another place asap. You don't know what's going on the the person taking your rents putting it in his pocket. You could be locked out without notice. These situations are common these days. If the property is in foreclosure find a secure place to live. Good luck!
Rosanne Nitti is a Realtor® with RMN Investments & Realty Services in Laguna Beach, CA.
A: I am a Realtor in California so your laws may be different. In California, if you have a valid lease as a renter and the property is foreclosed on, whoever owns it, the bank or a private party will have to contact you and has to honor your lease through it's term or they have to buy you out of it. In California, they give you something called " cash for keys". Basically it is relocation money. No one should tell you to stop paying rent, but who would you pay it to? You don't know who owns the property now.
Hope that helps. Check with a local Real Estate Attorney, they should be able to answer you.
Good Luck

Website boost for the voluntary sector
10:00am Wednesday 31st October 2012 in News
The Community Foundation for Wiltshire and Swindon has launched a website to make it easier for businesses and individuals to support community projects.
Through the development of the site, voluntary and community groups in Wiltshire and Swindon now have an opportunity to compete with the bigger charities by having an online presence.
Localgiving.com is the brainchild of Marcelle Speller who appeared on Channel 4's The Secret Millionaire in October 2010 where she gave almost £100,000 to five local groups in Plymouth.
The foundation is helping local groups access online facilities such as Facebook and Twitter to help them raise awareness of what they do.
They have also partnered with Localgiving.com to provide these groups with fundraising web pages, guides and training.
The benefits to the group include maximising the value of donations with the addition of Gift Aid without having to register directly. This can add 25 per cent to donations.
The foundation is running a £200 Match Challenge from today until November 21.
All groups registered on Localgiving.com will have up to £200 in donations matched 100 per cent by the foundation. Donations can also attract match funding from Localgiving.com itself.
If you work for or know of a group that could benefit from this opportunity, call the foundation on (01380) 729284 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Performance Parking Brings Monies for New Bikeshare Station(s), Transportation Study; Some Parking Costs Going Up in 2011 Mar 24, 2011 1:38 PM
* The need for additional traffic signals and stop signs based on pedestrian and vehicular patterns (and recent accidents);* Neighborhood traffic circulation patterns including one way street circulation and freeway access and turning movements onto the freeway frontage roads;* How the CSX tunnel reconstruction will impact traffic flow and SE/SW freeway access/egress;* Existing and future parking demand and the proposed parking supply to meet that demand;* On street parking strategies and supply for commercial, residential and visitor populations;* Optimum Circulator routes and hours of operation;* Recommended routes for bike lanes that tie into the Riverfront Trail system;* The optimum route for a streetcar line in the M Street right of way and how it would service the Buzzard Point subdistrict; and* How M Street is designed and works as a multi-modal transit corridor while exhibiting a high quality of design in the public realm. Gosh, I'm just not sure if residents will be interested in any of these! If perchance a reader or two might have an idea or data point for the above items, feel free to discuss in the comments.Note that this study doesn't quite seem to match the overarching Near Southeast/Southwest combined traffic study that got some discussion late last year, but perhaps there's more going on than what's mentioned in the DDOT report. DDOT is also proposing that non-gameday parking rates at the multispace meters between South Capitol and 2nd Streets from the freeway to M Street go up to $6 for three hours (first hour $1.50, second hour $2.50, third hour $3). Plus, the boundaries of the parking zone will move eastward to 11th St. SE from 9th St.By the way, if you have a fab idea for how some of the proceeds from the parking revenue can be spent on the aforementioned non-automotive transportation improvements, you can submit a written proposal to DDOT (further information on page 26 of the report). And if you want background on how the Performance Parking Pilot came into existence back in 2008, my Stadium Parking page can help with that.

Cela S'Appelle L'Aurore
Luis Buñuel's Cela S'Appelle L'Aurore was briefly released in English-speaking countries as That is the Dawn. The story concerns a humane doctor (Georges Marchal) who is aghast at how the residents of a small Island near Corsica are being exploited by a cruel factory owner. Unfortunately, the doctor is unable to extend his concern to his wife, who walks out on him. The arrival of a beautiful stranger (Lucia Bose) and the death of a close friend galvanize the doctor into taking direct action against the villain. The film's anti-capitalist, anti-aristocracy stance is very much in keeping with Buñuel's better-known works. Even so, Cela S'Appelle L'Aurore is a more conventional film than one might expect from its director. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ciao Gulliver
A particular highlight of this symbolic Italian drama is that it marks the return of Lucia Bose to film. She retired from film when she married the famed Spanish bullfighter Dominguin in the 1950s. Socialite Danielo is a higher-up in the television world but is repulsed both by high society and the media. In his dreams, he is Gulliver in Lilliputia, and the Lilliputians torture him in various ways. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Michelangelo Antonioni's first narrative feature is a stark, minimal interpersonal drama that would establish many of the themes and techniques that would recur in his work for the rest of his career. Story of a Love Affair centers on the dynamic between Guido (Massimo Girotti) and Paola (Lucia Bosé), two old flames re-igniting their passions for one another. Tabs are being kept on both of the lovers by their current spouses as well as by a private investigator, but even after their pursuers fall out of the picture -- whether due to accidents or disinterest -- Guido and Paola find that their love for each other is waning. Filled with stark, empty compositions, unpredictable camera movements, and static, self-obsessed characters, Story of a Love Affair would mark Antonioni as a maverick among the prevailing neorealists of the post-war Italian film community. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Cronaca di una Morte Annunciata
This suspenseful Italian crime drama is set in a Colombian river town and chronicles the series of events that led up to murder. Based on a novel by distinguished author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the tale begins in the present as a middle-aged doctor returns to the village after a twenty-year absence to investigate the murder that occurred just before he left. A flashback ensues. All the trouble began when a wealthy general's son came to town searching for a bride. He found an appropriate girl and was very happy until he discovered that his bride was not a virgin. In a terrible rage he sent the poor girl back to her family where her father beat her into revealing her lover's name. Her twin brothers then set out to punish the guilty fellow, a much-despised womanizer. Though the entire town knew that the brothers planned to kill him, no one intervened. Strangely, the victim died without a fight. The story jumps back to the present to witness the return of the general's son. He runs into his former fiancee and quietly hands back all of the letters she had written him over the years. Not a single one is opened. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The youngster's supernatural skills bring him to the attention of a group of occult researchers. Whisked away to a research center, the boy is held prisoner while the scientists scheme to harness his talents for their own purposes. Saldana manages to escape with two other "moon children" and head to Africa, with their captors in hot, potentially homicidal pursuit.

Federico Fellini makes his most decadent, undisciplined work in this free adaptation of Petronius' famous farcical chronicle of ancient Roman life. The film opens with Encolpio (Martin Potter) vying with his friend Ascilto (Hiram Keller) for the affections of a young effeminate lad named Gitone (Max Born). When the youth chooses his rival or him, Encolpio begins a journey that has him encountering Romans of every stripe and color. He drops in on an orgy thrown by Trimalchio (Mario Romagnoli), a wealth-loving ex-slave who has spurned his wife in favor of a pleasures of a young boy; he toils on a slave galley, fighting off the advances of Lichas (Alain Cuny) -- the ship's burly wall-eyed captain; he steals an albino hermaphrodite demi-god who is reputed to be able to tell the future; and fails to summon the enthusiasm to make love to a whore-priestess. Along the way, we witness a parade of prostitutes in ancient Rome's pleasure quarters; watch performance by Vernacchio (Fanfulla), an actor whose on-stage specialties include farting and public amputation; and the wonton devouring of a human corpse for financial gain. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Gli Sbandati
Gli Sbandati was released worldwide as The Disbanded. Set during WWII, the film is a drama of the Italian resistance, with all the usual clichéd characters in attendance. The central character, a bombed-out gamine who falls in love with an Italian partisan, is played by Lucia Bose, who earned a great deal of praise for her performance. Most of the film deals with the culture-clash between the citified resistance fighters and their rural hosts. Extremely well cast, and equipped with a powerhouse climax, Gil Sbandati proved to be a worthwhile feature-film directorial debut for onetime Antonioni associate Francesco Maselli. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Harem to top of Queue
Following the success of Hamam, Turkey-born, Italy-based Ferzan Ozpetek delivers another exotic film that delves into the traditions of his origin. Once again, the exotic city of Istanbul is the place of intrigue. But, unlike Hamam, which was a contemporary story, Harem Suare takes place at the turn of the century in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. The locale of this ornate story of love, power, and fear is the magnificent Yildiz Palace, where Sultan Abdulhamit whiles away the time listening to the finale of
La Traviata
as rebellions rage all over the country. The Sultan cannot stand unhappy endings, so he has asked Safiye, his favorite concubine, who is Italian, to rewrite the libretto so that Violetta does not die. Nadir, one of the black eunuchs, has plans for Safiye, whom he thinks should become the official wife. Nadir's plans take a different turn when he and Safiye fall in love. In the harem, which is isolated from the rest of the world, life goes on with its plots and subplots, loyalties and betrayals, happiness and tragedies as if time did not exist. The story is told from the point of view of Safiye, concentrating more on human relations than on palace politics. The director plays with mirror images to reflect the two faces of personalities and the complexities of intercultural relations. Mythology is blended with sexuality, emphasizing the delicate nuances of language. The exotic element is not abused and historical details are used sparingly and only when necessary. Acting by young French actress Marie Gillain, who plays Safiye, and Lucia Bose, who plays her in old age, as well as Alex Descas as the eunuch Nadir and famous Turkish actor Haluk Bilginer as Sultan Abdulhamid are all commendable. 52nd Cannes Film Festival, 1999. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

Jutrzenka: Un Invierno en Mallorca
The cigar-smoking French writer, George Sand (Lucia Bose) and her lover, the composer-pianist Chopin (Christopher Sandford) have rented a former monastery in Mallorca as a winter retreat. They have even shipped a piano to the site, so that Chopin can continue his work. However, what promised to be a warm, sunny vacation turns sour as the locals disapprove of Sand, the servants are surly and mysterious, and the monastery is cold. She has her revenge, however. She wrote the book A Winter in Mallorca about her miserable winter retreat. This film follows that book closely, with concern for historical accuracy, which did not increase the Spanish filmmakers' popularity with their countrymen. This is a Spanish language film, with no dubbing or subtitles. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Since Moliere's plays are national classics of France, an air of reverence surrounds them. However, they are for the most part comedies based on older
commedia del'arte
storylines and acting conventions (which most closely resemble the broad humor of the American vaudeville or the British music halls). Moliere's big innovation was to give the stock characters from these ancient themes an actual script to follow, rather than leaving them to improvise their own lines. His lines were usually much, much wittier. Otherwise, these tales are every bit as farcical (and sometimes slapstick) as anything from The Three Stooges or, for that matter, the classical farces of Plautus. However, when the actors ham it up in their parts too much, eyebrows are raised. This multinational production of Moliere's classic L'Avare, or The Miser is an excellent case in point. The lead role of Arpagone, the miser, is played exhuberantly by Alberto Sordi, who for years has traded (on and off the stage) on his pinched, miserly appearance and his romantic skittishness - somewhat akin to the shtik perfected by Jack Benny in the U.S. These characteristics also fit the role to a "T." In the story, the miserly widower is trying to arrange things for the maximum safety of his funds and to prevent his children from doing something stupid, like marrying poor people. In the meantime, his well-known wealth has made him the target of sinister matrimonial designs by the murderous sister of a powerful cardinal. He decides to find a suitable bride for himself to stave off this unhappy prospect, and at the same time arrange good marriages for his son and daughter (who have other people in mind). A triple wedding will cost little more than a single one, and will save him lots of money. Needless to say, everything goes wrong (and finally goes right) in this romantic farce. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

L'Ospite is a psychological melodrama about a family whose self-deception is revealed when a stranger intrudes. A middle-aged woman introduces her lover to her children, who are about the same age. The reaction of the daughter (the main character) turns the potentially comic situation into a real psychodrama. Her awkward behavior arises out of her inability to accept a reality that is different from the one she's always lived in. As if one trauma is not enough, she also discovers her father is a homosexual. The roles are now reversed; it is the parents who transgress and feel shame, and the daughter who has bourgeois mores and is worried about the family's reputation. Alessandro Colizzi uses a cold, detached tone to expose the contradictions and limitations of certain sections of the cultured and well-to-do left-wing Italian middle class. The title of the film is translated into English as "The Guest," but in Italian it indicates the host and the guest, rendering an ambiguity as to who is the guest/host, which seems to suit the purpose of the director. The film is made in the tradition of Pasolini and Visconti, although Colizzi cites Fassbinder as his influence. L'Ospite was screened as part of the International Forum of New Cinema section of the 49th Berlin Film Festival, 1999. -- ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

This Spanish/Italian melodrama concerns the rivalry between a mother and her daughter for the affections of a rakish drifter. The mother has known his affection before, but on this particular journey through their town, he is drawn to the girl instead. He takes her to his favorite assignation place, a nearby whorehouse, and they begin to see one another regularly, until one day the mother takes her place. The girl's response to this is somewhat drastic. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This bloody Spanish horror film mines the same vein (no pun intended) as Hammer's Countess Dracula (even released the same year), taking as its source the allegedly true tale of the Hungarian Countess Bathory -- who believed she could maintain eternal youth by routinely bathing in the blood of slain virgins. In an attempt to seduce and marry a charming young soldier, she is compelled to murder young maids again and again, while masquerading as her own teenage daughter. Unfortunately, she finds that she needs more frequent applications of this ghastly beauty treatment in order to prevent herself from transforming into a withered old hag -- naturally, both her plans and her body end up falling to pieces. Written and directed by Jorge Grau, who would later find more success with the equally-imitative but genuinely eerie zombie-fest Don't Open the Window. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

La Signora Senza Camelie
Signora Senza Camelie (Lady without Camelias or Camille without Camelias) was the third feature-length directorial effort by Michelangelo Antonioni. It is possible that the director invested a great deal of himself in the story's central character, a film producer played by Gino Cervi. Turning shopgirl Clara Manni (Lucia Bose) into a major movie star, Ercole "Ercolino" (Cervi) caps this Svengalilike action by marrying the girl. Her head in the clouds, Clara demands that her husband star her in an "artistic" production, rather than the sexy vehicles in which she's previously appeared. When the film bombs, so does the marriage. The film ends with a backhanded paean to "public taste," a commodity Antonioni seldom bothered himself with in his future films. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An adulterous couple is forced to take responsibility for their actions in this tense drama from Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bardem. Maria Jose (Lucia Bose) is a beautiful woman whose husband Miguel (Otello Toso) is a wealthy and powerful businessman. Juan (Alberto Closas) is a mathematics instructor at a Spanish college who is distantly related to Miguel, and owes his position to Miguel's influence. Juan was also Maria Jose's boyfriend when they were younger, and now they're carrying on an affair behind Miguel's back. One night, while driving home from an assignation, Juan and Maria Jose accidentally run over a man on a bicycle; the stranger quickly dies, and the lovers speed away rather than deal with the consequences. But over the next few days, Juan's conscience begins to bother him, and finds it hard to bear the knowledge that he took another man's life. Maria Jose is also troubled, but for different reasons; Rafa (Carlos Casaravilla), a devious socialite, infers to Maria Jose that he knows about her secret life, but she's not certain he he's just speaking about her infidelity or her role in the cyclist's death. A major critical success in Spain, Muerte de un Ciclista (aka Death Of A Cyclist) was released in Europe in 1955, the same year director Bardem published a controversial essay on the decline in Spanish cinema under the rule of Franco. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Non C'e Pace Tra Gli Ulivi
Italian filmmaker Giuseppe De Santis followed his internationally acclaimed Bitter Rice with another exercise in neorealism, Non C'e Pace Tra Girl Ulivi (No Peace Under the Oliver Tree). Raf Vallone stars as shepherd Francesco, whose sister is raped by the villain of the piece. Thrown into jail on a trumped-up charge, Francesco escapes, vowing a horrible revenge against the man who framed him and violated his sister. Somewhat self-consciously directed, Non c'e Pace etc. isn't quite in the same league as Bitter Rice, though the performances are convincing and the cinematography (by Piero Portalupi) is first-rate. Welcome comedy relief is provided by Dante Maggio as Vallone's best friend. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

About the Book
Polly Greene has always been considered strange, a girl who can see a person's true colors, a 13-year-old more comfortable foraging in the woods with her eccentric grandmother than hanging out with friends. But all that is about to change when Polly's older sister, Bree, vanishes into the woods. Polly, the only one who thinks Bree can survive, begins to leave food in the woods for her sister and finds a hidden grove where she believes Bree is burning a fire each night. Along with an odd but endearing group of friends, Polly clings to the hope that she can see her sister through the harsh, snowy winter. And in the process she discovers the cruelty, bounty, and magic of the woods.
Claire Dean writes from a bright green house behind an ever-growing garden in Idaho. She was inspired to write Girlwood for her daughter, who asked for a story about good stuff. "When I asked her what that meant, she said, 'You know, about hope and magic and fairies and girls.' Good stuff, indeed." Next up is a story for the author's son. To learn more about Girlwood and to find out what color aura you have, visit Claire Dean at www.clairedean.net.
1. A description of a plant opens every chapter. The author then uses that plant as a narrative thread within the chapter. Look back at this device throughout the novel and explore specific examples. The ability of nature to heal is an important theme in the story, and knowledge of natural remedies is imparted from the grandmother, Baba, to her daughter and granddaughters. Discuss the idea of healing pertaining to each generation of women – mention Bree's self-destruction and Faith's grief. How do Baba's plants nurture the idea that healing is an organic process?
2. The novel begins: "The first and last kiss Polly received from her sister was as contrary as Bree herself." Why does the author use the word contrary to describe Bree? Bree leaves in the first pages of the novel. In her absence, Polly helps paint a small but vivid picture of her troubled sister. Consider the character of Bree. What do readers know and what are they left to guess about her character?
3. The grove later named "Girlwood" is central to the story. Polly feels a magical presence the first time she is led to the hidden location by her grandmother. It is in Girlwood that she first discovers a strand of Bree's hair, forms strong friendships, and is able to use her grandmother's lessons. Discuss the significance of this unique setting. Be sure to mention its sanctity and the impending threat of development. How does Girlwood help to maintain Polly's hope that her sister will return?
4. The wolves are a source of both fear and awe for the characters in the story. What is their significance? Discuss Polly's two encounters with these majestic creatures. Polly explains that in Olivia she sees a wolf: "a girl who was loyal, proud, and much braver than anyone thought." Discuss the significance of this observation. How does it impact Olivia's behavior?
5. Discuss the strong environmental stance the novel takes regarding the development of the wilderness. What message is the author trying to convey to readers? Do you agree with this message? What, if anything, do the attempts of Polly and her friends to save the forest teach about activism and fighting for what you believe in?
6. Discuss the character of the grandmother, Baba. Early on Polly observes, "Baba was the proof that you could be extraordinarily happy even if you were never liked." Why does Baba's lifestyle attract so much criticism from the community? Look back at descriptions of Baba, her house, her garden, and her remedies. Do you understand why Polly's mother tries to distance herself from Baba? What makes Polly and Baba's relationship so special? Do you believe that Baba knows where Bree is? How does Baba's passing help bring the family back together?
7. The novel breaks down human life, like all life, into very simple parts. To survive one needs food, water, and shelter. Human cycles include growth, death, and rebirth. Discuss these basic human necessities and cycles within the context of the natural world. What is the significance of nature in relationship to Bree's disappearance, the destruction of Girlwood, and Baba's death? With these events in mind, consider the importance of the blue flower that Baba calls "Faith."
8. When Carly makes mean comments to Olivia and Polly in the hallway at school, Olivia asks, "What's wrong with you?" What is wrong with Carly? Are there any ways in which Carly is a sympathetic character? Discuss the party in the grove. What do you think Carly sees in the trees that scares her? Why is it important that she calls out her father's lie in front of her classmates? Do you believe Carly has changed by the end of the story? What do you predict for her future?
9. Polly sees auras around people throughout the story. Discuss the significance of this gift and its impact on Polly's identity. Based on her observations, what do the different colors signify? Do you believe this ability is a supernatural power? Visit www.clairedean.net for more information and to take an aura quiz.
