Conference Highlights
Keynote Speakers
We were pleased to welcome back William M. Isaac for Monday's general session. Mr. Isaac led the FDIC during the banking and S&L crises of the 1980s and is an outspoken critic of the manner in which the government handled the financial crisis of 2008-2009. He is also deeply concerned about current fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies and the adverse affect they are having on the economy. He shared his insights on the state of the banking industry, the political leadership chasm in Washington and what the future may hold in terms of fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
Mr. Isaac is Global Head of Financial Institutions for FTI Consulting, Chairman of Fifth Third Bancorp, and author of Senseless Panic: How Washington Failed America.
Leading off Tuesday's program was a general session conducted by Mark Vitner, managing director and senior economist at Wells Fargo, who is responsible for tracking U.S. and regional economic trends. Based in Charlotte, NC, he also writes for the company's Monthly Economic Outlook report, the Weekly Economic & Financial Commentary and provides regular updates on the housing markets, commercial real estate, regional economies and inflation.
Mr. Vitner joined Wachovia (then First Union) in 1993. Before that, he spent nine years as an economist for Barnett Banks in Jacksonville, FL.
Mr. Vitner's commentary has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and many other publications.

This yellow globe or storage onion is perfect for any dish. It has a complex flavor, much more so than the summer white onion. Onions need to be kept weed free all season, then they are harvested on a dry day, taking care that the bulbs are not sunburned. They are then hung to dry, or stacked in wooden crates, with plenty of ventilation.
These Organic Yellow Onions are grown by both Pete's Greens of Craftsbury, Vermton and George of Dog River Farm in Berlin, Vermont
When cooked, yellow onions caramelize very well. They turn a rich brown and become much sweeter and milder. These onions should be stored in a cool dry place.

As one of the newest program managers on the PowerPoint team (and a recovering history major), I'm always fascinated to hear the stories behind features I now can't imagine living without. And as one of the engineers responsible for Accessibility in PowerPoint, I care a tremendous amount about the accessibility of the software we build. So you can imagine how happy I was to see these two interests collide in one of the latest posts to the Office Engineering Blog—a backstage peek at the new Document Accessibility Checker built in to Excel, Word, and PowerPoint 2010, written by Larry Waldman from the User Experience Team.
It turns out that the story behind the Document Accessibility Checker, like the story behind our new Video Triggers feature, begins with a user request. Actually, a lot of user requests:
While user interface accessibility has been well understood for years, the accessibility of Office document content is a burgeoning new area. In particular, we've seen many requests from companies and governments who have been wondering how to help their employees create accessible content. To solve this problem in Office 2010 we created a document Accessibility Checker (like a spell checker, but for accessibility issues) as a core feature of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
The rest of the post explains the Document Accessibility Checker in much greater detail, but the line "like a spell checker, but for accessibility issues" just about nails it.
Incidentally, Larry also highlights an unbelievably useful feature: new keyboard shortcuts for navigating the Ribbon and adjusting shapes. In PowerPoint 2010,
Though we built these new shortcuts with accessibility in mind, they end up making life easier for just about everyone. If you're curious about the other keyboard shortcuts we swear by here on the PowerPoint team, you can read all about them here.
Working with the Office User Experience team over the past six months, I've been consistently floored by their dedication to making the Office experience as accessible as possible. With the addition of the Document Accessibility Checker, new keyboard shortcuts, and Video Triggers, PowerPoint 2010 will be the most accessible version yet—thanks to the hard work of engineers and designers, and feedback from customers like you. To take the new Document Accessibility Checker for a spin, download the PowerPoint 2010 Beta—and let us know what you think!

Hi Diana,
I have been trying to figure out if there is a way to take a power point presentation that has been set to music and upload it to YouTube. I have tried using author stream but unfourtnuately when the power point was finished uploading, the sound did not transfer (which is EXTREMELY fustrating. Any ideas??!?!?
Diana, I wanted to congratulate your PowerPoint team, and also make them aware of our efforts with the Library of Alexandria in egypt, and the world Health Organization. I am an epidemiology professor and direct a WHO Collaborating Centre During the past 10 years we have built a network of 56,000 faculty interested in global health from 172 countries. We have established a very simple system for sharing knowledge, with PowerPoint on the web. We have collected 4300 PowerPoint lectures and make these available for free (www.pitt.edu/~super1/). Last year we taught over 1 million students, and our H1N1 lecture was seen by 40 million. I just wanted to thank you at PowerPoint as PowerPoint on the web is one of the most important educational technologies. We are now working with the Library of Alexandria to network all scientists and share their best PowerPoint lectures.
Thank you Ronald E. LaPorte, Ph.D., director, WHO Collaborating Center and Professor of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh
It seems a bit ironic to be talking about accessibility when PowerPoint doesn't use TSF and hence is still incompatible with those of us who need to use speech recognition. However, I must say that one omission aside (which is surprisingly inconsistent with Microsoft's committment to providing a better experience to customers with disabilities), the 2010 version is an outstanding improvement and accomplishment. Steven Lindell, Professor of Computer Science
Haverford College, PA
I am also disappointed by the lack of TSF and incompatibility with speech recognition. I rely on speech recognition for almost all my computer input. Its the best alternative for people unable to use the keyboard and mouse due to carpal tunnel or other problems.
Professor Lindell and Jason—thank you for your comments about TSF support, and especially for emphasizing the importance of speech recognition to your work. TSF is certainly on our radar going forward, and comments like yours help us to get a clearer picture of the role speech recognition might play in creating presentations.
Why does this blog site require an auditory only CAPTCHA/security tool? It is ironic to find it on a page with an article about Accessibility in PowerPoint 2010! Still, shouldn't accessibility be integrated into everything that is a part of MSDN?
Hi Diana, All lovely ideas and doubtless useful, but why, oh why did you get rid of the alt key/underscore 'accessibility'? This is without doubt the fastest way of operating this and other programs. I really would love to know. Thanks Si

Mountain Bike Thursday - Colorado Cyclists Take on the Yak Attack Submitted by Kris Thompson on Thu, 02/07/2013 - 08:18 News Item: Hot TopicMountain BikingBy Robert Burnett This ain't Colorado anymore Here in Colorado we pride ourselves on our ability to ride at altitude. Denver is the "Mile High City," and Colorado is home to two of the highest roads in the US, climbing up Pikes Peak and Mt. Evans. We test our strength on these roads, racing up them as fast as we can. And when we travel to lower altitudes, we can't help but badger our out-of-state friends a bit about how easy it is to breathe. Four Colorado racers will put their high-altitude experience to the test this coming March 1 -15 at a unique race in Nepal – a country with the highest peaks in the world. Robert Burnett, Sonya Looney, Thor Loechell and Tyler McMahon will tackle the Yak Attack, a 10-day mountain bike stage race through the Himalayas in Nepal. The race covers 400 kilometers (~250 miles) with 40,000 feet of climbing. The race's Queen Stage, over Thorong-La Pass, tops out at just over 17,750 feet. That's more than 3,000 feet higher than the summit of either Mt. Evans or Pikes Peak. At that elevation, there is only half of the amount of oxygen available than at sea level.

Bicycles Prevail in Blackhawk Submitted by Amy Thompson on Mon, 02/04/2013 - 11:20 News Item: Hot TopicThe Colorado Supreme Court has overturned Black Hawk's ban on riding bicycles, ruling that bicycles are a matter of state and local concern. The court ruled Monday the town can pass traffic regulations, but said they must comply with state laws that require any municipal bike prohibition provide an available alternate path within 450 feet. Nov. 9th, 2012 the Colorado Supreme Court heard oral arguments from the case against Black Hawk for banning bikes.

Cedar Cycling - Interview Submitted by David on Tue, 01/29/2013 - 09:48 News Item: Hot TopicCycling Product Reviews Recently 303Cycling caught up with new cycling clothing manufacture Cedar Cycling. They are based in California and design and make USA-made technical apparel. One of their first products, the Standard Jersey, is half nylon and half merino wool. [303Cycling] Give me some background on Cedar Cycling?[Cedar Cycling] We're both longtime cyclists, and we wanted a tough-as-nails, well-fitting merino-wool based jersey that was US-made. We felt there was room for improvement on the existing merino-based jerseys on the market. We worked directly with our fabric mill to develop a custom double-knit fabric with a merino inner layer and a synthetic outer layer. We found the rest of the trims in Italy, Japan and the US. Everything is sewn right in the Bay Area, at highly skilled sewing factories that have been making technical outdoor gear for decades. [303Cycling] How did the American made focus come about for both Cedar Cycling and your store Standard and Strange?[Cedar Cycling] At Cedar, we didn't really feel like we had a choice. We lucked into living in an area that has some of the best riding in the US, and it happens to also have a long legacy of outdoors manufacturing. In fact, the outdoor industry as we know it started here in the 1930s. Coupled with the desire to keep our money local, and the high risks of working offshore, it was a no-brainer to stay in the US.

How Does the Criminal Justice System Work in a Motorist-Cyclist Collision Case? Submitted by Kris Thompson on Tue, 01/15/2013 - 07:45 News Item: Just Bike TalkHot TopicFrom Megan Hottman – "TheCyclist-Lawyer.com" I am sure most of you have read the comments posted to cycling websites and news sites following a motorist-bicycle accident. When cyclists perceive that the motorist was behaving irresponsibly, it seems many of the comments posted allude to the fact that the driver should have been charged with "attempted assault" or "attempted murder." In this emotionally charged environment, the reality of the operation and function of the legal system commonly is distorted or completely misunderstood. I thought it might be helpful to explain the charges and the elements that must be proven to support those charges so that we cyclists can all get on the same page when it comes to the criminal charges (and traffic citations) frequently issued in these cases. Please note- this article does not discuss the civil actions that can be filed against the motorist (e.g., a personal injury lawsuit). Let's begin with a basic description of the criminal process. Cases involving criminal charges are prosecuted by the District Attorney's office on behalf of the State of Colorado. The injured cyclist is not a named party to the action but as the victim, is actively involved in the process.

text: Egypt...This is what we get.... davidk14: . Egypt's Islamists secure 75 percent of parliament Published January 21, 2012 | Associated Press CAIRO – Final results on Saturday showed that Islamist parties won nearly three-quarters of the seats in parliament in Egypt's first elections since the ouster of authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak, according to election officials and political groups. The Islamist domination of Egypt's parliament has worried liberals and even some conservatives about the religious tone of the new legislature, which will be tasked with forming a committee to write a new constitution. Overseeing the process will be the country's Mubarak-era military generals, who are still in charge. A coalition led by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood won 47 percent, or 235 seats in the 498-seat parliament. The ultraconservative Al-Nour Party was second with 25 percent, or 125 seats. The Salifi Al-Nour, which was the biggest surprise of the vote, wants to impose strict Islamic law in Egypt, while the more moderate Brotherhood, the country's best-known and organized party, has said publicly that it does not seek to force its views about an appropriate Islamic lifestyle on Egyptians. Can you say Sharia? . davidk14: . What is democracy? Lecture at Hilla University for Humanistic Studies January 21, 2004 http://www.stanford.edu/~ldiamond/iraq/WhaIsDemocracy012004.htm Perhaps we should look at the word democracy and what it entails before just saying, "...they were democratically elected. It's Democracy." There are responsibilities. . . Sarcastic Dots: I'm just going to go ahead and spew my own little source here. I have to type this out, since I don't have an online source, so bare with the typo's. -- To the majority of Americans, it would appear, there is no contradiction between the ends of global democratization and the means of American military power. As defined by their president [Bush Jr], the democratization mission of the United States is both altruistic and distinct from the ambitions of past empires, which (it is generally assumed) aimed to impose their own rule on foreign peoples. The difficulty is that President Bush's ideal of freedom as a universal desideratum rather closely resembles the Victorian ideal of "civilization". "Freedom" means, on close inspection, the American model of democracy and capitalism; when Americans speak of "nation building" they actually mean "state replacing," in the sense that they want to build political and economic institutions that are fundamentally similar, though not identical, to their own. They may not aspire to rule, but they aspire to have others rule themselves in the American way. -Niall Ferguson's "Colossus". davidk14: . Interesting comments. I looked this chap Niall Ferguson up and found this site with recent articles he as written. Give it a look. Interesting stuff. http://www.thedailybeast.com/contributors/niall-ferguson.html . davidk14: . Dots, Did you go and look at the description I post regarding the word democracy? Thoughts? . Sarcastic Dots: I had a look, yeah, hence my response. There were two points that I found contestable for various reasons, but I took the lazy route and quoted from a far more capable man than I. I'll probably comment on it more specifically (rather than being vague) later on, but I'm a bit ill tonight and can't be bothered. On the plus side though, I did actually find some of those articles prior to your posting (like 10 minutes before) so at least I have something to read. If you are interested in reading more, there are a few books I can recommend. (Edited by Sarcastic Dots) davidk14: . Sorry to hear you are ill. You said, "They were democratically elected. It's a democracy." This thread was not about Bush or America but about the article about Egypt and democracy and since people use the word differently as your post did, the question of my post, is the definition valid and if not, specifically, why not? Other than section six regarding Iraq, which items of the definition do you find questionable? Looking forward to your thoughts. Get better soon. . hellbhoy: If a democracy votes in a tyrant then is it still a democracy ?,this may be the case in Egypt again I fear if it still condones the innocent slaughter of the Coptic Christians that live there.Remember a democracy is freedom for all no matter who or what they are unless they are deemed law breakers or criminals by the established law.Then if the Christians are forced out or slaughtered then that is not a democracy but a fundamentalist regime eliminating all or any opposition. One Bar: A sick person shouldn't be up at 0200 playing on the internet. Have some Lemsip and get some sleep. Perdurabo: USA! USA! USA! Bring on the live broadcasts of Islamic fascists blowing up the pyramids and other ancient Egyptian monuments because they are products of a pagan people. Comrade_: "This is what we get for supporting them...not democracy, but Sharia Law...." -Care to clarify what you meant but "we" and what "support" that the "we" were giving? I think the question is if the Sharia Law can coexist under Democracy. Some people will agree that it can exist under "Democracy" and some will agree that it can't. I see the majority as being Muslims hence they may be 'rooting' for a Sharia Law. hellbhoy: Sharia law in a democracy ? will NEVER happen EVER. Dave3974 if you think living in a martial law state is a good thing ! immigrate then. If you think stoning a woman to death is OK because a mans eye was cast upon her and the husband didn't like it and had her killed ! have it outside the UK. They probably trump up charges against you to steal that huge bit of gold that is constricting the blood to your brain. No religious group should ever be in government by their past records,most wars were caused by religious nutters and fanatics and yes Hitler was a religious fanatic too AYRAN race indeed. Comrade_: The only part I agree with you is on the first part of your last paragraph. Religion and Politics should never mix. Muslim/Christian etc. But that's not the reality though. I'm not familiar with every single part of the Sharia Law and the different degrees of the law so I'd not comment on the rest. But would it be democracy if the people vote for such laws? Some people view laws as a prevention method rather than a punishment method. They will have a different culture and religious preference than Westerners. hellbhoy: Tell that to the Arab uprising Jack. Sharia law is a total religious dedication and failure to adhere has dire consequences not just for you but your family,ironic that the filthy rich Muslims totally disregard and flaunt the law and live like decadent Westerners without punishment.So is just another tool used to keep the masses in line. lavendar_star: I agree in parts with Jack and Hellboy, If the people of Egypt voted that way which resulted in a result which is less desirable than we would of wanted in the west, I am assume thats what 'we' means than that's democracy in process. As the citizens of any nations should vote in accords to what they want, not what we would want in the west, why should they!!!! However, I have to question who voted i.e. how many women voted and how Sharia law undoubtedly will be of a similar style to Iran and Saudi Arabia and by default Sharia Law discriminates against half the population i.e. women. I respect what you say Jack by prevention in contrast to the West's punishment, but as Hellboy say there are alot of examples within Sharia Law states where women have been treated harshly, and the double standards of the rich. lavendar_star: Also what about non Muslims or muslins who don't live their lives religiously by Islam, I imagine living in a country with Sharia Law not going to be great far from it, religion and politics should be separated. One Bar: Many of the women vote for Sharia Law because they daren't do otherwise. And that's if they're even allowed to vote. Comrade_: The Egyptian people stood up and revolt on their own against a US-backed dictator. I wasn't looking at the Sharia Law and Democracy from an emotional perspective but simply as a legal one, it is a law in a 'democratic' setting. No? We'll have to see how it goes for them and if they'll choose to stand up to this too. We look at it from our perspective, I don't agree to the law if I could have my way I'd prefer if it could be tweaked, but in the end it will be up to them to decide. | Politics Chat Room Similar Conversations |

Do you ever wonder why a woman who is interested in a guy might suddenly turn disinterested? You may be surprised, but for many women there are many factors that be a major turn off or switch the directions of her feelings towards you. Some are bad, and some might even be good. Here are some factors that may lead women to suddenly become disinterested.
To begin with, a woman may feel that she isn't listened to. Many men think that having an opinion or having something do say is always a good thing, but often times they make a mistake when they can't stop yapping. While this is better than acting needy, many women don't appreciate being yapped at any more than most men do. You see when you are domineering; you leave her no choice to objections to be heard. You can say that you're not in favor of something in a way that isn't a turn off for her. Even if you do care about what she says, make sure she hasn't incorrectly interpreted your signals to think that you aren't listening to her. If she feels heard then she will feel a lot happier
Another common possibility is that you got lazy. Most women appreciate your attention and appreciate the ways you make her feel attractive. Unfortunately, many men stop doing what attracted them in the first place which often leads to her feeling no chemistry anymore. You don't have to try as hard as when you first met her, but you do want to hit a spark so that she feels something.
Finally, you may act too needy. Often when you're too good or too caring, you don't leave her room to invest anything. While this may seem nice, it often feels needy to her and doesn't give her the chance to emotionally invest. If you are chasing her too much, she is more inclined to take you for granted.
Pay attention to these tips on why women suddenly turn disinterested so that you can avoid that from happening in your relationship
Ask her these 3 questions scientists use to get laid... And you'll get her, every time! Click here to discover a 'simple trick', so you can see inside any woman's mind and know exactly what she is thinking about you.. Instantly and absolutely free.

In engineering and its various subdisciplines , acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. It may involve chemical tests , physical tests , or performance tests . In systems engineering it may involve black-box testing performed on a system (for example: a piece of software , lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products) prior to its delivery.

Two friends chart a daring path to freedom in this drama from Walt Disney Pictures. Peter Strelzyk (John Hurt) and Guenter Wetzel (Beau Bridges) are two men living in East Germany who can no longer tolerate the petty tyrannies of Communist rule. Together, they formulate a daring plan to escape to democratic West Germany in a hot air balloon, but Peter and Guenter realize that they have to build a very special lighter-than-air craft to carry both themselves and their families to safety. Night Crossing also features Jane Alexander, Doug McKeon, and Keith McKeon as members of the Strelzyk Family, and Glynnis O'Connor, Michael Liesik, and Geoffrey Liesik as the Wetzels. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An institutionalized schizophrenic with a Messiah complex inherits the position of an English Earl in this cutting satire of British society, based on a play by Peter Barnes. The film's irreverent tone is established with the disturbingly hilarious death of the thirteenth Earl of Gurney during a bizarre attempt at auto-erotic asphyxiation. To the dismay of the earl's family, the title passes to his son Jack (Peter O'Toole), who has been locked away for eight years after claiming to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. Mad but harmless, Jack is released to assume his seat. However, his embrace of Christianity proves incompatible with a position of power in "normal" society, where peace and love are considered serious weaknesses, and a somewhat unhinged psychiatrist is called to help him adjust. Meanwhile, Jack's scheming uncle, Sir Charles (William Mervyn), works on developing a complex scheme to trick Jack out of his position. Loaded with idiosyncratic touches from eccentric camera angles to unexpected outbursts of song, the film creates an experience nearly as inspired and mad as O'Toole's brilliantly hilarious central performance. The film's devilish invention may at times seem overloaded, but most drawbacks are redeemed by the sharpness of the satire, particularly during the memorably disturbing finale. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Scrooge was designed as a follow-up to 1968's Oliver!, the Oscar-winning musicalization of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The umpteenth musical version of Dickens' 1843 novelette A Christmas Carol, Scrooge features several sprightly Leslie Bricusse songs, including the bona fide hit "Thank You Very Much." Buried under mounds of latex, Albert Finney is Ebenezer Scrooge. The Three Ghosts who turn the miserly Scrooge's life around on Christmas Eve are portrayed by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Yet to Come). Sir Alec Guinness also appears as a fussy, slightly effeminate Marley's Ghost. Intriguingly, Finney performs his many songs live, without post-production dubbing. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This melodrama is taken from a story by D.H. Lawrence. Yvette (Joanna Shimkus) and her sister Lucille (Harriet Harper) are two country girls who return home after attending a provincial school. Yvette is smitten by the sight of a handsome gypsy (Franco Nero). Her stern matriarchal grandmother (Fay Compton) objects, but Yvette continues to see the dashing young man who awakens her sexual curiosity. She is comforted by Mrs. Fawcett (Honor Blackman) and Major Eastwood (Mark Burns), two people living in sin, much to the chagrin of the moralistic townsfolk. Yvette and the gypsy finally engage in a forbidden romantic encounter after weeks of longing gazes and social disapproval from friends and family on both sides. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Why Would Anyone Want to Kill a Nice Girl Like You?
Americans in 1968 seemed to prefer long, campy film titles. Thus it was that the British Taste of Excitement was rechristened Why Would Anyone Want to Kill a Nice Girl Like You? The girl in question is Jane Kerrell (Eva Rienzi), who is somehow involved in an assassination plot. The hero, artist Paul Hedley (David Buck), agrees to help Jane when he's told that the intended victim is a traitor. But who's telling the truth here? Director Don Sharp co-adapted the screenplay from Ben Healey's novel Waiting for a Tiger. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tom Bell stars in this tight little British thriller as a mercurial cat burglar. So long as things are going his way, Bell is calm and collected. Let anything upset his equilibrium, and he's an accident waiting to happen. Bell's one chance at redemption is his romance with pretty social-worker Judi Dench. When she rejects him, Bell returns to his crime spree, telling Dench to get lost when she offers to give him a second chance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Contest Girl
The Beauty Jungle can hardly be considered an expose of the beauty-contest business, since most of what happens in the film is what the average viewer has suspected all along. The lovely and graceful British leading lady Janette Scott stars as an ambitious typist who enters the "Miss Globe" pageant. She doesn't care what she does or whom she hurts along the way, the result being that she wins the competition. But when the anticipated decline sets in, she confronts the same embittered people on the downward spiral that she stepped over during her upward climb. Cliched though it may seem on paper, The Beauty Jungle is fascinating in its own garish way; the film was issued to the US under the title Contest Girl. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Witches
This film was a pet project of Joan Fontaine, based on a novel by Peter Curtis. It was her last feature film. Fontaine stars as teacher Gwen Mayfield, who is in charge of a missionary school in Africa. A witch doctor puts a curse on her, and she has a nervous breakdown. Returning to England, she takes a job running a small rural school. In the village, there is an active voodoo cult. They have targeted a young woman named Linda (Ingrid Brett), whom they plan to offer as a virgin sacrifice. The cult members are led by journalist Stephanie Bax (Kay Walsh), whom Mayfield discovers is the head witch. Mayfield's student Ronnie Dowsett (Martin Stephens) is being harassed by the cult to keep him from protecting Linda, his girlfriend. This British production was titled The Devil's Own in the U.S. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

In this adaptation of the popular character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes (John Neville) aided by Dr. Watson (Donald Houston) and his brother Mycroft (Robert Morley) are called in to help catch the crazed killer of prostitutes. This film combines all the elements beloved by fans of Sherlock Holmes resulting in a satisfying and well-acted mystery. John Neville is good as the cool, logical Holmes and Robert Morley adds a nice dash of humor to liven up the story. A Study in Terror is highly recommended for fans of Sherlock Holmes and should be enjoyed by any viewer who loves vintage mysteries. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Bikini Paradise
Mission to Paradise is a British equivalent to those frolicsome female skinfests often seen on the USA network's
Up All Night
. British military officers Kieron Moore and John Baer are shipwrecked while on a reconnaissance mission. They soon discover to their delight that the island is populated by beautiful young damsels, dressed in very little indeed. These girls had themselves been shipwrecked as schoolchildren, together with their very proper headmistress (Kay Walsh). The time has now come for the lovely young things to procreate, and Moore and Baer are elected for the task. There is one catch, however; once they're finished replenishing the stock, the men will be killed. Janette Scott, who has too much grace and class to be stuck in this piece of tripe, is the most intelligent of the girls. Also in the cast is Alexander Knox, who in happier days once played Woodrow Wilson. Mission to Paradise was reissued in the US as Bikini Paradise; oh, we're so excited! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Circus World
Filmed in Cinerama and Technicolor, Circus World may have drawn the crowds for various reasons -- not the least, perhaps, for the big names. John Wayne stars as circus owner Matt Masters, who takes his show to Europe hoping to save it from financial ruin. Accompanying Matt, is young Toni (Claudia Cardinale), whom Matt had raised since her aerialist mother Lili (Rita Hayworth) left them years before. Just before he departs from New York, Matt is reminded that Lili may be somewhere in Germany. Upon their arrival in Europe, much of the equipment is lost when their ship sinks in a Spanish port. Matt doesn't let that get the best of them, and he is soon up and running with the show, becoming a hit throughout Europe. Against Matt's wishes, Toni trains to become an aerialist like her mother. A quiet figure in the shadows proudly watches Toni rehearse her daring routines. The writing team of Ben Hecht, James Edward Grant and Julian Halevy adapted their screenplay from a story by Philip Yordan and Nicholas Ray. Though this was not a gunslinger role for Wayne, Matt Masters was not a far stretch. This could have been due to the fact that Wayne had previously worked on several projects with director Henry Hathaway and writers Hecht and Grant -- and the part was altered to suit him. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

Reach for Glory
John Rae's novel The Custard Boys became this World War II drama from British documentary filmmaker Philip Leacock. Martin Tomlinson stars as John Curlew, a troubled teenager who is part of a gang of London boys evacuated to a small English coastal town during World War II. Desperate to join the war effort and fearful that the fighting will be over before they're of age to enlist, the boys stage their own mock war games with the local teens, practicing to become soldiers and taking the entire matter very seriously. John, who is conflicted between his loyalty to his zealous friends and his burgeoning desire for an Austrian Jewish refugee, Mark Stein (Oliver Grimm), invites Mark to join the "battles." At first mocked for his Semitic heritage, Mark is eventually allowed to participate, but when he runs off during a battle, the gang decides to court-martial him for cowardice, with tragic results. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The L-Shaped Room
Considered ultra-mature film fare in 1962, The L-Shaped Room stars Leslie Caron as a unmarried, pregnant French girl. Arranging for an abortion (illegal at that time), she takes up residence in a ramshackle British boarding house where most of the other residents are also outcasts of society. Many of the character types were new to films of the era, but have since become cliches: the understanding young black, the lesbian actress, the prostitutes without golden hearts. There is also a Christopher Isherwood type writer (Tom Bell) who observes the passing parade and writes a book on the subject. Director Bryan Forbes brings his usual muted sensibilities to the project, resulting in a work that downplays the sensational aspects and emphasizes characterization. Surprisingly, while The L-Shaped Room was considered too "hot" for several corporate-owned American movie houses, it was an early arrival on 1960s TV, where it frequently ran uncut. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Disney's Greyfriars Bobby is a remake of A Challenge to Lassie; both are based on the same novel by Eleanor Atkinson, and both feature Donald Crisp in a major role. A true story, set in Edinburgh around 1875, the Disney version stars Alex McKenzie as the shepherd Old Jock, the owner of a loyal Skye terrier named Bobby. When Jock dies of "old age, exposure, and starvation," and is buried in the Edinburgh cemetery known as Greyfriars Kirk, Bobby spends his days playing with street children, begging for scraps, and evading the police constables, but by night he sleeps on his late master's gravesite and refuses to leave, despite graveyard caretaker John Brown's (Crisp) efforts to chase Bobby away. Slowly but surely, the taciturn Brown comes to love the steadfast dog, which brings him into conflict with stiff-necked Constable MacLean (Donald MacRae), who intends to "arrest" Bobby if Brown doesn't pay the minimal license fee. Standing on principle, Brown refuses, but a group of local children raise the necessary funds, setting the stage for a heartwarmingly Disneyesque finale. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Two excellent actors shine in powerful roles in this drama by Ronald Neame that pits one Scottish army colonel against another. Alec Guinness is Lt. Col. Jock Sinclair, a man who temporarily takes over command of a regiment until his replacement, Col. Basil Barrow (John Mills) arrives. Sinclair comes from the lower echelons of the social order but was at least able to work himself up the echelons in the military hierarchy. He is fairly well-liked though still a little rough around the edges for some. When Barrow takes over, the two men clash almost at once. Barrow is from the upper crust, went to all the "right" schools, and believes in discipline and then a little more discipline, as well as efficient and proper bureaucratic processes. The differences between the two men threaten to rupture the unity of the regiment, especially after Sinclair assaults a soldier he finds in the company of his daughter. Barrow opts to report his behavior, leading to a climactic series of events. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The Horse's Mouth is an acting and a writing
tour de force
for Alec Guinness, who authored the screenplay in addition to starring in the film. Gulley Jimson (Alec Guinness) is an aging artist with a reputation as a genius, though he lives an impoverished life. Jimson has reached the point in his life where he no longer feels any need to moderate his irascible persona -- he has a taste for alcohol and a tendency toward boisterous spirits where the ladies are concerned -- in search of canvasses to paint and commissions that will allow him to live comfortably, and Guinness lives the role to the hilt. Released from jail for some indiscretion, he immediately begins harassing his wealthiest patron, Hickson (Ernest Thesiger), for money. When that fails, he insinuates himself into the home of a would-be patron, Sir William and Lady Beeder (Robert Coote, Veronica Turleigh), and manages to destroy their home and that of their downstairs neighbor with a huge block of stone and some help from a sculptor friend (Michael Gough). Courted by a potential buyer, he is desperate to retrieve one of his early works from his former wife, but even that prospect is closed off to him. Finally, with help from his young admirer, Nosey (Mike Morgan), his friend, Coker (Kay Walsh), and some art students eager to work with the legendary Gulley Jimson, he begins painting his largest canvas of all. The painting is completed and promptly destroyed. Jimson finally takes off in his wreck of a houseboat for the open sea, eyeing the huge hulls of the passing ships as potential canvasses to paint. As he disappears up the river, Coker looks on in panic and Nosey calls after him, declaring his admiration for Jimson and who he is and what his work means -- knowing for certain that he can't be heard. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Now and Forever
Now and Forever is a very slight piece, buoyed by the charm and attractiveness of its young stars. Janette Scott and Vernon Grey play Janette Grant and Mike Pritchard, who fall in love despite the objections of Janette's wealthy parents. Realizing that they will never be permitted to marry, Janette and Mike run off together, sparking a nationwide search for the two elopers. By the time the authorities catch up with the pair, public sentiment is firmly in favor of their union, culminating in a conditional change of mind on the part of Janette's mom and dad. Though the film seems flat and obvious when viewed on television, it truly comes to life before a large and appreciative moviehouse audience. Forgotten for many years, Now and Forever was happily rediscovered by the late film historian William K. Everson in his 1979 book Love in the Film, which was dedicated to star Janette Scott. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

But Lockwood is possessed of a naturally suspicious nature, making Bogarde's second murder plot a bit more delicate than his first.

What is your primary news source?
Juniata College strives to provide their students with a variety of newspapers to keep their students informed. One free newspaper that is provided to its students is the New York Times. It is important for students to be informed about what is going on in the world around them. I conducted an interview with five students, asking them: Juniata College provides its students with several news sources (New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Baltimore Sun, etc.). Do you read the newspapers available to you provided by Juniata College? If not, what is your primary news source and what type of articles do you look for?

Professional chefs take great pains to stock their kitchens with the best equipment for creating their culinary masterpieces. You should, too! And to help you, I've created a YouTube video demo that shares some of my best tips for setting up your kitchen for easy raw food meal preparation. It's just four minutes, but it's information-packed.
Do you think there are tons of gadgets and gizmos you need to buy to make your kitchen raw food ready? Not at all! As you'll see in the demo, there are really only four key pieces of equipment required: a large chef's knife, a wood or bamboo cutting board, a blender and a food processor. That's the beauty of raw food preparation: you can take simple fresh ingredients, do a minimal amount of 'puttering' with them, and have a meal on the table in no time at all.

When I contemplated writing a tutorial on Objective-C, I had to make a fundamental decision. As with other texts on Objective-C, I could write mine to assume that the reader already knew how to write C programs. I could also teach the language from the perspective of using the rich library of routines, such as the Foundation and Application Kit frameworks. Some texts also take the approach of teaching how to use the development tools, such as the Mac's Xcode and Interface Builder.
I had several problems adopting this approach. First, learning the entire C language before learning Objective-C is wrong. C is a procedural language containing many features that are not necessary for programming in Objective-C, especially at the novice level. In fact, resorting to some of these features goes against the grain of adhering to a good object-oriented programming methodology. It's also not a good idea to learn all the details of a procedural language before learning an object-oriented one. This starts the programmer in the wrong direction, and gives the wrong orientation and mindset for fostering a good object-oriented programming style. Just because Objective-C is an extension to the C language doesn't mean you have to learn C first.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Republicans blocked the Senate from debating a Democratic bill that would keep interest rates on college loans from doubling this summer for more than seven million students.
Tuesday's vote was 52 to 45 to debate the measure, eight votes short of the 60 needed.
Interest rates on federal student loans are scheduled to double to 6.8 percent from the current 3.4 percent in July unless Congress acts. Democrats and Republicans disagree over how to offset the $6 billion it would cost to keep the rates down.
Democrats want to eliminate a tax break for some corporations, while Republicans want to pull funds from a preventative health care fund set up under the health reform law.

Backup funding options considered for stadium
Vikings stadium rendering
B. Bakst and P. Condon
The Associated Press
Posted Mar 7, 2012
The electronic pull tabs proposed to fund the state's portion of a new stadium might need a backup plan. That's one of the reasons for delaying the introduction of a stadium bill that was announced last week.
Minnesota lawmakers crafting a Vikings stadium bill are discussing whether and how to include a backup funding plan in case proceeds from gambling in bars doesn't adequately cover a needed state contribution, prominent lawmakers said Tuesday.
The hang-up is one reason legislation for the nearly $1 billion football stadium won't become public earlier than Monday. That's more than 10 days after city, state and team officials celebrated a handshake deal to build their franchise a new home.
The difficulty turning a term sheet into actual legislation is but one challenge ahead for the Vikings stadium effort. The session clock is working against advocates: Lawmakers expect to adjourn no later than April 30, and a gauntlet of time-consuming committee and floor votes stands between the bill and Gov. Mark Dayton's desk.
The House sponsor, Republican Rep. Morrie Lanning, acknowledged that "time is short" and said that negotiators are still working through key details, including the security of the state financing.
"We've recognized all along that it could be an issue. That's one of many things that has to get sorted out," said Lanning, of Moorhead. "Some people may want more comfort than what might be readily available."
Neither Lanning nor others involved in the project will disclose what backup sources they prefer.
The financing blueprint splits the construction costs three ways: $398 million from the state, $427 million from the Vikings or other private sources and $150 million from the city of Minneapolis, where the stadium would be built.
Under the stadium framework, the state would get its share by allowing charitable groups to shift from operating paper pull-tab games to electronic forms of the game of chance. The state Revenue Department estimated recently that the pull-tab expansion would generate about $72 million a year in new tax revenue to the state.
That would seem to leave plenty for the $35 million a year that stadium supporters say would be needed to cover the state's bond payments. However, bond investors typically seek assurances that revenue coming in will be well more than the annual debt and interest owed, sometimes as much as double that amount. That's especially true with bonds like those eyed for the stadium, which won't be backed with full state taxing authority.
In addition, the charities that would run the new electronic games said they expect to see tax rates on their profits lowered, further cutting into the main funding stream. King Wilson, executive director of Allied Charities of Minnesota, said that without tax relief, it may not be worth the hassle for some charities.
"Charities are questioning whether they will even do the electronic pull-tabs," Wilson said. "We don't think electronic pull-tabs without tax reform and relief are economically viable."
Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, the bill's lead Senate sponsor, said several commissioners in Dayton's administration have convinced her that the pull-tab revenue estimates are sound.
"They ran those numbers once, two, three, four times, and they're very confident those are actually conservative numbers," Rosen said.
But she admitted there is concern in some quarters that a backup financing plan should be crafted that could "blink on" in the event the gambling tax revenue comes in lower than expected.
"Is there some kind of blink-on thing that would give people comfort?" Rosen said, describing the content of the private discussions among lawmakers working on the bill.
Meanwhile, hundreds of construction workers roamed the Capitol hallways Tuesday as they lobbied lawmakers to act on a stadium plan and other building projects vital to their industry. Many were decked out in reflective vests, hard hats and purple-and-gold "Build It" buttons.
Kenneth Jensen, a heavy machine operator from Blaine, said the firm he works for is too small to bid on stadium work. But the project is so big, he said, it would likely consume many larger firms for several years and open up other jobs for workers all over the Twin Cities.
"We need it," said Jensen, 54, who said his yearly income plummeted from $70,000 to $40,000 in the five years or so since the housing market went bust. Jensen said that started to turn around more recently, mostly thanks to projects funded by federal stimulus dollars, but now those are drying up, too.
"Any investment in jobs right now is worth it," he said.

Tthe Lenovo IdeaPad K1 is one of the newest Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets to hit the 'scene, as of late. It's got some fairly impressive specs, and has a unique UI that is sure to impress some while frustrating others. Either way, it's going to be coming on sale at some point in June, with several online stores eagerly jumping the gun, creating product pages with screenshots, specs, and price.
While all sites say basically that it's currently "not in stock," or "sold-out," we know better. It is going to be on sale in a very short period of time. Some folks will actually prefer the thicker bezel, as anyone that has owned a tablet before knows, it's actually a good thing to have sometimes, despite not being the most aesthetically pleasing. It looks to be classic design, with nice, curved rounded edges, and a thin profile.
Specs include some fairly standard fare:
How's everything sounding so far? Either way, if it can launch for $499, with these specs, we're pretty sold.
How about you? What hit's the sweet spot in the tablet world? Screen? Battery? Connectivity? Storage? Let us know – we do this for you every day and love feedback, and you know the manufacturers are always watching!

Nigerian Opposition Seeks Power in Numbers
As the ruling party seeks to legitimize the results of the election, opposition leaders are consolidating to express their discontent, with the threat of public demonstrations looming.
The runner-up in Nigeria's presidential elections convened a meeting with other opposition politicians on Wednesday, seeking a unified response to the weekend vote deemed not credible by international observers.General Muhammadu Buhari, who according to the official count placed second to governing party candidate Umaru Yar'Adua, went behind closed doors in the capital, Abuja, with representatives of many of Nigeria's 25 largest opposition parties to consider their options.
The opposition has already rejected the outcome as rigged in favour of President Olusegun Obasanjo's People's Democratic Party, and the third-place candidate has said he will challenge the results in court before Yar'Adua's planned May 29 inauguration.
Opposition party members have said their leaders are considering, among many possibilities, a court case filed in unison or calling supporters into the streets for protests against Obasanjo's government.

FRIDAY, Dec. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Elderly black people who sometimes went hungry as children had slower mental decline than those who always had enough to eat, a new study finds.
"These results were unexpected because other studies have shown that people who experience adversity as children are more likely to have problems such as heart disease, mental illness and even lower cognitive [brain] functioning than people whose childhoods are free of adversity," Lisa Barnes, a cognitive neuropsychologist in the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center at Rush University Medical Center, said in a medical center news release.
The study included more than 6,100 people, average age 75, in Chicago. The participants were asked about their health as children and about other aspects of their childhood. Then, every three years for up to 16 years, they underwent tests to measure any changes in their mental abilities and skills.
The nearly 6 percent of black people who said they sometimes, often or always went without food as children had a one-third slower rate of mental decline during the study than those who said they rarely or never went hungry, the investigators found.
The roughly 8.5 percent of blacks who said they were much thinner at age 12 than other children their age also had a one-third slower rate of mental decline than those who said they were about the same size or heavier than other children their age.
There was no relationship between childhood hunger and mental decline in whites, according to the study in the Dec. 11 issue of the journal Neurology. This may be because so few white people in the study reported hunger or other types of adversity in childhood.
"Researchers are not sure why childhood hunger could have a possible protective effect on [mental] decline," said Barnes, who is also an associate professor in the neurological and behavioral sciences departments at Rush University. "One potential explanation for the finding could be found in research that has shown that calorie restriction can delay the onset of age-related changes in the body and increase the life span."
Another explanation could be a selective survival effect, she noted.
"The older people in the study who experienced childhood adversity may be the hardiest and most resilient of their era; those with the most extreme adversity may have died before they reached old age," Barnes said.
While the study found an association between childhood hunger and less mental decline in older adults, it did not prove cause-and-effect.
