Stockard Channing Movies
Born Susan Williams Antonia Stockard Channing Schmidt on February 13, 1944, Channing is the daughter of a wealthy shipping executive, and became interested in the dramatic arts while attending college at Radcliffe. After graduating in the mid-sixties, Channing joined Boston's experimental Theater Company. Several unsuccessful Broadway auditions later, she landed a lead role in a Los Angeles production of Two Gentlemen of Verona. Eventually, Channing made it to Broadway, and won a Tony for her performance in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.
In the early '70s, Channing appeared in several small television roles, and made her big screen debut in 1971's
The Hospital
. In 1973, the actress starred in the
Joan Rivers
-penned black comedy The Girl Most Likely To..., a TV movie about an overweight college girl who loses weight, gets cosmetic surgery, and sets off in hopes of getting even. Channing's first major film role came two years later, when she starred in Mike Nichols' The Fortune with
Jack Nicholson
Warren Beatty
. It wasn't until 1978, however, that Channing would win her most memorable role to date -- tough gal Rizzo in the retro-musical
. Interestingly enough, although she was cast as a teenager, the actress was in her early thirties when she was chosen for the film. Around the same time, Channing starred in two similar and short-lived sitcoms: Stockard Channing in Just Friends and The Stockard Channing Show.
By 1980, Channing's film career was idling in neutral, so she focused her energies on the theater, though she began showing up in various supporting film roles in the mid to late eighties. In 1993, she was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for playing the formidable Upper East Side matron of
Six Degrees of Separation
; the role had also earned her a Tony nomination when she performed it in the film's stage version. Channing subsequently made steady appearances in both film and television, and co-starred as a witch in Practical Magic with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, as well as The First Wives Club, Moll Flanders, Edie & Pen, and An Unexpected Family. In 2000, Channing would play one of the more eccentric residents of a small Oklahoma town in
Where the Heart Is
. After filming Other Voices in 2001, which was screened at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, Channing would receive a solid amount of critical success for her role in The Business of Strangers (2001), in which she starred as a high-level corporate player who saves her own job only to find out her boss is a rapist. In between filming a variety of television and documentary appearances - namely, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (2002), A Girl Thing (2001), Out of the Closet, Off the Screen: The William Haines Story (2001), and New York Firefighters: The Brotherhood of 9/11 (2002) -- Channing joined up with Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie in Stephen Herek's Life or Something Like It.
In 2003, Channing made a cameo appearance in Bright Young Things, and went on to co-star in Le Divorce with Kate Hudson, Glenn Close, and Matthew Modine during the same year. The actress also signed on with the legendary Woody Allen in Anything Else, in which she played a middle-aged mother determined to land a role in a cabaret production. She would find particular success on the small screen over the coming years, with a starring role as first lady Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing.

Golden Globe nominated actor Leiv Schreiber narrates this feature-length documentary taking viewers on a remarkable scientific journey that began 3000 years ago, and presents findings that stand as the culmination of over 100 years of excavation and centuries of biblical scholarship. By delving deep into the origins of the Old Testament, archeologists attempt to find answers to such timeless questions as where the ancient Israelites came from, who wrote The Bible, and why the world that was once polytheistic began a gradual movement towards monotheism. As the biblical texts continue to resonate through history, The Bible's Buried Secrets takes viewers to the intersection of scholarship, science, and scripture in order to explore the questions that Christians and theologians have been asking for centuries. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three stories, which offer differing perspectives on the AIDS pandemic, are featured in this anthology-drama. Sister Clara (Chloë Sevigny) is a young nun who is working with two, more experienced, missionaries (Olympia Dukakis and Sandra Oh) in a village along the African coast. Sister Clara finds herself struggling against ignorance and misinformation among the natives, but discovers she can only accomplish so much through traditional means and is forced to make a great personal sacrifice for the greater good. Denny (Shawn Ashmore) lives in Montreal and makes his living acting in pornographic movies -- a career he's kept hidden from his mother (Stockard Channing), who depends on Denny for financial support. Like most of his colleagues, Denny must present current HIV tests to producers in order to keep working. But unlike most of his fellow porn actors, Denny is actually carrying the AIDS virus, and presents fraudulent test paperwork in order to keep working. And Jin Ping (Lucy Liu) collects blood donations from villagers in mainland China, but while she claims that the blood will be used in government hospitals, Jin Ping is actually in cahoots with illegal private doctors, and she fails to use proper methods for safe blood collection. When Tong Sam (Tanabadee Chokpikultong) loses nearly all of his friends, family, and villagers to AIDS, he takes it upon himself to do something about Jin Ping and her reckless actions. Three Needles received its North American premier at the Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In need of a job, Sam makes the cut at a public relations boutique by sleeping with the sixty-something head of the agency, Sheila (Channing), then (in a Graduate-like twist) falls for a girl closer to his own age, Kate (Amanda Ryan) - only to discover with horror that she's Sheila's daughter. As the expected complications ensue, Vince (Hoskins), the sexagenarian who arranged Sam and Jill's apartment in London, nurtures a deep-seated passion for Jill and decides to make his feelings fully known to her. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Red Mercury
As three bomb-toting Muslim fundamentalists hold the citizens of a London restaurant hostage, the revelation that one of the terrorists has been researching a little-known Russian explosive known as "Red Mercury" promos authorities to handle the situation with extreme caution in director Roy Battersby's topical thriller. An informer has revealed that a trio of terrorists has been lying in hiding in the English capitol, and when chases breaks out the three bombers storm into a popular Greek restaurant and hold the frightened diners hostage. The perpetrators are Mushtaq (Alex Caan), Asif (Navin Chowdhry), and Shahid (San Shella). As the Gold Commander (Pete Postlethwaite) and counterterrorism expert Sofia Warburton (Juliet Stevenson) do their best to assess the situation from the outside, restaurant owner Penelope (Stockard Channing) and a pair of quick-thinking customers that includes American lawyer Sidney Lowe (Ron Silver) and author Neil Ashton (David Bradley) do their best to keep the heads cool on the inside. Later, when the authorities discover that the three terrorists are well-educated British citizens who were likely recruited by fundamentalists during their studies, Sofia finds that they have also come into possession with an extremely volatile Russian-produced explosive. With time quickly running as tempers begin to flare, the desperate counterterrorism expert contacts her ex-husband Lindsay (Nigel Terry) - a one-time mole whose inside information may prove vital in saving countless lives - in a last ditch attempt to resolve the situation peacefully. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) is a kindergarten teacher in her mid-thirties who is still dealing with the emotional aftermath of her divorce eight months ago.

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Paola di Florio directs Home of the Brave, a documentary about the impact of Viola Liuzzo's murder. Detroit housewife and mother of five, Liuzzo was a civil rights activist who went to Alabama to help with voter registration in 1965. She was in town during the pivotal march organized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which ended in violence at the Edmund Pettus Bridge near Selma. While trying to transport the tear-gased marchers in her car, she was shot by three members of the Ku Klux Klan. Suspects Eugene Thomas, Collie Leroy Wilkins Jr., and William Orville Eaton were found guilty of civil rights violations and later acquitted. The film also explores the FBI investigation in the aftermath of her death, as well as the reaction in the Liuzzo home. Home of the Brave was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 as part of the documentary competition. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Take a closer look at "Camelot" in this release that seeks to explore the Kennedy mystique through rare images, little-seen home movie footage, and interviews with White House staff, photographers, journalists, and biographers. Imbued with youthful energy and blessed with the kind of photogenic good looks that endeared them to millions, the youth culture that followed in the wake of the Kennedys helped usher in a new era of change and hope. In time, though, the nation would learn that all was not well beneath the glossy surface of these picturesque images, and in this release filmmakers attempt to shine an illuminating light on the real-life trials of the family who changed the face of a nation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The crises facing the various members of the Bartlet administration at the outset of The West Wing's sixth season include the ever-escalating hostilities between Israel and Palestine, with President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) refusing to exploit the situation by staging a preemptive strike against a longtime enemy; and the slow recovery of Donna Moss (Janel Moloney), assistant to Barlet's deputy chief of staff, Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), after her surgery to remove a pulmonary embolism. Nor is this the only health crisis facing the staff: it is painfully clear that Josh's boss, veteran chief of staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer) is himself suffering from an as-yet-undetermined ailment. Alas, this doesn't take long to "determine": three episodes into season six, Leo has been rushed to the hospital to undergo an emergency bypass after suffering a massive heart attack. In his absence, press secretary C.J. (Allison Janney) is thrust into the responsibility of negotiating a peace accord in the Israeli-Palestine war with the UN and NATO. In another plot development, the race has begun for a worthwhile Democratic candidate to run for the Presidency now that Bartlet is winding down his second term. One of the leading contenders is the party's first Hispanic Presidential candidate, Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits). Emerging as the most viable Republican opponent is the venerable Senator Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda), who, somewhat surprisingly, shares many of Bartlet's more liberal opinions. Amidst these and other intrigues, the series actually finds time to pause for a somewhat comic episode, "In the Room," featuring gonzo magicians Penn and Teller as "themselves" in a story which gently tweaks the nose of activists who equate desecration of the American flag with wholesale treason. The season climaxes at the Democratic National Convention, as Matt Santos vies with the two other leading candidates for the precious 2,162 votes needed to choose a nominee who can successfully halt the apparently invulnerable Arnold Vinick political juggernaut come November (the choice of the Democratic running mate is quite a surprise!); and the outgoing Bartlet finds he still has one final crisis to deal with, this one a matter of life or death in outer space. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Set in New York and New England (but filmed in Newfoundland), Behind the Red Door stars Kyra Sedgwick as Manhattan-based photographer Natalie Haddad, who enjoys success with her strangely gloomy and foreboding camerawork. When her agent and best friend Julia (Stockard Channing) arranges for her to accept a lucrative contract with a Boston ad agency, Natalie discovers that she will be working for her own gay brother Roy (Kiefer Sutherland), whom she hasn't seen in a decade. Although Roy is insufferably snobbish and manipulative, he manages to exert a curious control over Natalie, forcing her to confront several disturbing, long-suppressed memories of her past (shown in black-and-white flashbacks). Before the film is over, Natalie is made to realize why Roy's behavior is so overbearing -- and also, the viewer learns just how intimately Julia is involved in the lives of both siblings. Underwritten by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation as part of an ongoing program to heighten HIV/AIDS awareness, Behind the Red Door made its Showtime cable-network bow on January 12, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A young artist struggling with his career and his muse is getting more than a little aggravation from Cupid in this romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) is a promising 21-year-old comedy writer living in New York City. While Jerry has talent, he's having a hard time getting his career off the ground, which might have something to do with the fact his agent Harvey (Danny DeVito) is a well-meaning, but ineffectual, blowhard, and his mentor David Dobel (Allen) is an increasingly paranoid eccentric whose twin careers as a teacher and standup comic are both floundering. Poised at the top of Jerry's mountain of anxieties is his relationship with his girlfriend Amanda (Christina Ricci); from the first moment he saw her, Jerry has been in love with her, but Amanda's multiple neuroses, fear of commitment, and frustrating intimacy issues make her all but impossible to be around. Jerry is approaching his breaking point when the small flat he shares with Amanda becomes home to a third roommate -- Amanda's mother Paula (Stockard Channing), who has decided to come to New York to chase her dream of becoming a cabaret singer. Anything Else also features supporting performances from Jimmy Fallon, William Hill, and jazz vocalist Diana Krall. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The administration of President Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen) is still technically in charge of the United States as The West Wing enters its fifth season (and its first without the services of longtime producer Aaron Sorkin), but Bartlet himself is no longer commander in chief -- at least, not at the moment. To avoid conflict-of-interest charges after his daughter Zoey is kidnapped by Qumari terrorists, Bartlet had relinquished power to the next person in the chain of command. And since there is no vice president, that person is Speaker of the House Glenallen Walken (John Goodman) -- a powerful and rather cantankerous Republican! At Walken's orders, Qumar is bombed in retaliation for Zoey's abduction, prompting Bartlet's staff to seek out a new, less reactionary vice president as soon as possible. Once Zoey is safely home, Jed lobbies for the approval of his new vice president, Robert Russell (Gary Cole), but it won't be easy. Meanwhile, the first lady's new chief of staff, Amy Gardner (Mary-Louise Parker), ruffles many West Wing feathers with her damn-the-torpedoes attitude toward her job, with Presidential Chief of Staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer) particularly perturbed. Other major developments include the defection of a powerful Democrat to the Republicans, for which Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford) must take the heat; another volatile hostage situation, this one in the Sudan; a move to legalize assisted suicide in Oregon; an even bigger move in both houses to abolish Social Security; the ramifications of the chief justice's serious and debilitating illness; Bartlet's outrage upon discovering that nuclear testing in the Indian Ocean has been given the go-ahead by someone in his administration; and a concerted effort by Press Secretary C.J. (Allison Janney) to counteract the intentions of Bartlet's troublesome former VP, John Hoynes (Tim Matheson), to run for president by slandering the entire Bartlet administration. The season ends as Bartlet girds up to tackle the (hopefully) last major crisis in his administration -- a possible all-out war between Israel and Palestine; and Josh's fiery assistant, Donna (Janel Moloney), faces critical injuries after her convoy is attacked by terrorists while she is on a fact-finding mission in Palestine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the 1997 National Book Award-nominated novel of the same name by Diane Johnson (co-writer of the script for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining), Le Divorce is a romantic comedy from director James Ivory. Revisiting the "Americans in France" theme that Ivory explored in 1998's A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries, the film stars Kate Hudson as Isabel Walker. When she receives word that her pregnant poetess sister Roxy (Naomi Watts) has been left by her philandering French husband, artist Charles-Henri de Persand (Melvil Poupaud), Isabel offers her help and moral support. As the depressive Roxy struggles with the separation proceedings -- which include the rights to ownership of a work of art that's a family heirloom -- Isabel takes a job with author Olivia Pace and has a fling with the bohemian Yves (Romain Duris). But things get complicated when the younger, more impudent sister decides instead to pursue Charles' uncle, the snooty, married diplomat Edgar (Thierry Lhermitte), and when a mysterious man (Matthew Modine) starts stalking Roxy. Eventually, the rest of the plucky Walker clan has to come to the aid of the siblings. Stockard Channing and Sam Waterston co-star. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Hitler: The Rise of Evil

Add Hitler: The Rise of Evil to top of Queue
British actor Robert Carlyle stars as the 20th century's most infamous dictator in this two-part TV biopic. The film covers the life of Adolf Hitler from his childhood to his emergence as absolute ruler of Germany in 1934. Most of the ground covered should be familiar to history buffs: Hitler's failed efforts to become a great artist, his frustration at watching his adopted country fall apart at the seams during World War I, his resolve to put Germany back on its feet by exploiting the nation's horrendous postwar economic woes and its ingrained anti-Semitism, his 1923 arrest, the publication of Hitler's virulent screed Mein Kampf, the growing popularity of National Socialism, and the fatal error made by senile German chancellor Von Hindbenburg (Peter O'Toole) to "neutralize" Hitler by giving him a relatively unimportant political post in 1933. Also covered is Hitler's abortive romance with his half-niece Geli Raubal (Jena Malone) and his longer relationship with the estimable Eva Braun (Zoe Telford). Given the difficulties faced by actor Carlyle and the screenwriters to successfully convey pure, unadulterated evil, much of what we learn about Hitler is conveyed by the observations and reactions of other characters, notably crusading but ineffectual anti-Nazi journalist Fritz Gerlich (Matthew Modine), and especially German publisher Ernst Hanfstaengl (Liev Schreiber) and his wife, Helene (Julianna Margulies). Originally a staunch supporter of Hitler, Hanfstaengl eventually comes to realize the danger the man poses to the world ("He's not human. He simply studies others to become human."); in contrast, Helene, who at the outset is vaguely opposed to National Socialism, is ultimately seduced and swept up by the movement. Not surprisingly, this film stirred up a great deal of controversy even before it aired; some Jewish leaders and prominent Holocaust survivors worried that Hitler might come off as being sympathetic (a concern that may have dictated altering the film's title, which was to have been Hitler: The Early Years); and one of the film's producers was summarily dismissed after issuing a public statement which seemed to compare Germany's blind, unthinking allegiance to Hitler to America's rallying behind George W. Bush during the Iraq crisis. Hitler: The Rise of Evil originally aired May 18 and 20, 2003, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Once the fourth season of The West Wing gets past its semi-serious two-part opener, in which White House staffers Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff), Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), and Donna Moss (Janel Moloney) get lost somewhere in Indiana while campaigning for the re-election of President Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen), the series hunkers down to more vital matters. Driving the action during the early stages of season four is, of course, the tense election battle between the Democratic Bartlet and his Republican opponent, Robert Ritchie (James Brolin). Despite the controversy surrounding the president's multiple sclerosis and his staff's presumed efforts to cover up his illness, Bartlet easily defeats his opponent. But the victory is not altogether sweet: First Lady Abby Bartlet (Stockard Channing) may put on a happy face for the public, but inwardly she is outraged that Jed reneged on his promise to serve only one term. The other major development this season is the defection of Bartlet's longtime deputy communications director, Sam Seaborn (played by Rob Lowe, who was reportedly dissatisfied that his role had become secondary to Martin Sheen's). Running for a seat in the House of Representatives, Sam is assured of full support by the Bartlet staff -- and he has been promised that if he loses, he would someday be invited back to the White House as senior advisor to the president. Meanwhile, Sam's replacement, Will Bailey (Joshua Malina), initially hired just to help write Bartlet's acceptance speech, calmly assumes the duties of his new post. Elsewhere, Bartlet's daughter Zoey (Elizabeth Moss) begins an ill-fated romance with a charming but slightly sinister Frenchman; Press Secretary C.J. (Allison Janney) tries to cope with her father's Alzheimer's; the president's new secretary, Debbie (Lily Tomlin), imperiously plays no favorites when it comes to honoring White House protocol; Bartlet courts international disfavor by condemning genocide in the war-torn nation of Kundu; and Mary-Louise Parker joins the cast as Amy Gardner, the first lady's new chief of staff. In the season's controversial closing episode, an anguished Jed Bartlet learns that his daughter Zoey has been kidnapped by Qumari terrorists -- forcing him to avoid a conflict of interest in handling the situation by invoking the little-used 25th amendment, which will place the reins of the government in the hands of Jed's second-in-command. And since the vice president has resigned, the power passes to Speaker of the House Glenallen Walken (John Goodman) -- a powerful Republican! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Matthew Shepard Story
This fact-based TV movie explores the story behind the infamous Matthew Shepard gay-bashing case, in which a Laramie, WY, college student was brutally murdered by a pair of local boys in 1998. Sam Waterson and Stockard Channing star as Judy and Dennis Shepard, the parents whose agonizing decision over whether to ask for the death penalty for one of their son's killers provides the movie with its dramatic structure. Beginning with a slow-motion re-creation of the attack on young Matthew (Shane Meier), the script moves back in time to encompass the boy's troubled adolescent romance with another boarding-school student, his previous attack at the hands of a gang while on vacation, and his tentative shot at self-actualization among like-minded friends. These flashbacks are interspersed with the central drama, in which Shepard's parents sift through their son's belongings and slowly come to a surprising decision about what to say at his killer's trial. The Matthew Shepard Story premiered on NBC on March 12, 2002, a week after HBO's The Laramie Project first aired. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Spanish Cheeses
Distant Cheeses, Local Farmers: Spanish Sheep's Milk Cheeses in America
January 2, 2013 - 4:11pm | by mollyIn this blog series our intrepid intern Molly will find and interview American cheesemakers attempting to re-create traditional European cheeses. Learn about the difficulties as well as the benefits of this type of cheese making, as well as how terroir and the idea of a cheese tied to a location so distant changes when that cheese is made in a new location. Also, each week you'll have a chance to win an issue of culture: the word on cheese. Last week's winner was Amber A.!

Stool DNA test
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dna-stool-test/MY00623
A stool DNA test is a new approach for colon cancer screening. A stool DNA test is designed to identify recognizable DNA changes (DNA markers) in cells that are continually shed from the lining of the colon through stool. These markers are associated with the surfaces of the cells of precancerous polyps and cancerous tumors. Because the lining of the colon is always shedding cells, including cells from the surface of polyps and tumors, these markers are available in the stool. A stool DNA test can identify several of these markers, indicating the presence of precancerous polyps or colon cancer.
Because DNA changes may differ between colon cancers, stool DNA tests typically target multiple markers to achieve high detection rates. Also, because DNA markers may be present in only trace quantities in stool, very sensitive laboratory methods are required. Stool DNA testing has been shown to be more effective than fecal occult blood tests at detecting colon cancer and precancerous polyps. The new stool DNA tests demonstrate high detection rates of early-stage colon cancer. Unlike other noninvasive tests, the new stool DNA tests also can detect precancerous polyps.
One stool DNA test is currently available, but it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Next-generation stool DNA tests that have much improved detection rates are undergoing final clinical validation in a multicenter study by the FDA.
The method of screening for colon cancer using stool DNA testing has been endorsed by the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer and the American College of Radiology, but not by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Why it's done
The stool DNA test is a screening test for colon cancer and precancerous polyps.
How you prepare
Stool DNA testing requires little preparation. You can eat and drink normally before the test and continue your current medications. There's also no need to clean out (empty) your colon ahead of time.
What you can expect
The stool DNA test that's currently available isn't approved by the FDA, but it may be prescribed by a doctor under special rules. You'll receive the stool DNA test kit for collecting and submitting your stool sample at your doctor's office or by mail if you order it online. The kit includes a container that attaches to the toilet. After you collect the stool sample, you either return the kit to your doctor or mail it to the lab. The test requires only one sample.
Various methods to improve the ease of stool collection and sampling are under evaluation. The stool DNA test may be repeated every two to five years, but additional research must be done to determine the optimal interval for testing. In addition, Medicare currently doesn't cover the test, but some private insurers do.
Your doctor will review the results of your stool DNA test and then share the results with you.
- Negative result. A test is considered negative if DNA markers common to colon cancer or precancerous polyps are not found in your stool.
- Positive result. A test is considered positive if DNA markers common to colon cancer or precancerous polyps are found in your stool sample. Additional evaluation — usually colonoscopy — would be recommended to determine whether you have cancerous or precancerous changes in your colon or other parts of your digestive system.
- False-negative result. A false-negative result — a negative test result when cancer is present — may occur if colon cancer or polyps do not harbor DNA markers targeted by the stool DNA test, or if markers are present in extremely low amounts. While next-generation stool DNA test methods appear to be capable of detecting most colon cancers and precancerous polyps, further study is needed to determine what the rate of false-negative results will be.
- False-positive result. A false-positive result — a positive test for cancer when no cancer is present — may occur in about 5 to 10 percent of people screened. False-positives could be due to the presence of tumors above the colon or to a problem with the test. When the stool DNA test result is positive but a follow-up colonoscopy is normal, your doctor may recommend further observation with another stool DNA test, evaluation of your upper gastrointestinal tract, a repeat colonoscopy or a combination of these. Research is being done to clarify the best way to manage false-positive results.

Let me admit this right up front. I was prepared to "like" the new Ferretti 620, but I was fairly sure that I wasn't going to love her to death.
She is, after all, the latest confection from this Italian builder on this side of the Atlantic, and she's full of stitched leather and whitewashed oak and the many amenities you'd expect in an Italian palazzo overlooking the sea (see the complete photo gallery here).
It would be easy for me, calloused yacht tester that I am, to dismiss the 620 as just another Portofino Palace, a stylish transporter of crumpets and champagne along the Riviera. She seems like a yacht designed for lazy afternoons in the sun, a few getaway weekends moored stern to the quay in St. Tropez, and perhaps an annual outing to Corsica or Sardinia. She doesn't seem a yacht for the "serious American yachtsman."
And then I had The Epiphany.
She is esattamente the kind of yacht our serious yachtsmen will appreciate because, you see, this is how we use our boats too. Language differences apart, Italian yachtistas are just like American skippers. We don't set off on voyages to tropic isles and we don't plan to live aboard. We, and they, have limited time in our busy schedules, which means that a weekend aboard is a vacation, and a Sunday boat ride and barbecue are what anesthetize us for the workweek ahead.
They may go to places like Monte Carlo or Porto Venere, but we have Block Island or Catalina or the San Juans or the Keys. Sometimes we get a week or two to spend aboard, and so do they. There is an international bond among yachting enthusiasts who, if they are honest, will admit they never have enough time to enjoy their boats.
And the Ferretti 620 is perfect for all of us, Italian or American.
More than a little of this perfection is the result of the Italian builders listening to experienced American advisors like Brian Kelley, the North American Ferretti product manager.

C-SC alum leaves $171,000 for scholarship use Culver-Stockton College President Richard Valentine was presented with a check from Attorney Dennis Smith this week in the amount of $171,000 from the estate of Mrs. Ann A. (Steffen) Winkelman, class of 1933. The gift has been designated for student scholarships and added to The Charles and Ann Winkelman Endowed Scholarship, which Ann established during her lifetime. The Charles and Ann Winkelman Endowed Scholarship was originally established to memorialize her husband, Charles. Winkelman, who passed away January 10, 2008, was a teacher in Steffenville, Mo., and La Belle, Mo., schools prior to marriage. She was a member of the Canton Christian Church and a strong supporter of C-SC. "Ann cared deeply about her alma mater in many ways, and in particular, enjoyed the opportunity to help a new generation of students by supporting the scholarship program at Culver-Stockton College," said Eric Barkley, director of advancement and alumni programs. "This tremendous gift will impact our students greatly and will further Ann's wonderful legacy on the Hill. Our community of learning is most grateful." "This generosity is a true reflection of Ann's character and spirit," added President Valentine. "These scholarships will open many doors and opportunities for our students. What a wonderful way to be remembered. We are extremely appreciative of Ann's support."
Culver-Stockton adds WeatherBug Weather Monitoring Station to resources Culver- Stockton College is now able to receive data used by weather forecasters, broadcast meteorologists, government agencies, and educational institutions across North America through their WeatherBug weather monitoring station. The station is mounted on the roof of the campus Science Center and continuously monitors 27 different weather parameters that input to a network of 8,000 other similar devices. It is also made available to the WeatherBug weather widgets that run on personal computers and cell phones. The station includes a sensor that measures weather parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, heat index, barometric pressure, and dew point; a rain gauge that records hourly, daily, monthly and yearly rain measurements; and an anemometer assembly that reports current wind speed and direction, average wind speed, and maximum gusts. Dr. Robert Sadler, professor of physical sciences in the division of natural & mathematical sciences, is the driving force in the acquisition of the weather station. "The station will serve as a data warehouse for Culver-Stockton's atmospheric science and related Natural & Mathematical Science courses," said Sadler. "It will also be a resource for science classes in local public schools." Full story is available online.
C-SC Students watch alum preside in moot court demonstration Several Culver-Stockton College students recently participated in a moot court - a mock trial where hypothetical cases are tried for the training of law - demonstration via internet in the newly constructed mock trial courtroom on the C-SC campus. This opportunity was made possible through Culver-Stockton President, Richard Valentine and a fellow C-SC 1970 graduate, P. Scott Neville, Jr., who is an Illinois appellate court justice. The moot trial demonstration was held at Kennedy King College in Chicago as a part of their Black History Month celebration. The moot court demonstration was based on the murder case of People v. Wead, a murder case that Justice Neville previously ruled on. Justice Neville, along with two of his fellow justices made up the panel of judges who heard two University of Chicago Law students argue their case. C-SC students prepared for the trial demonstration by reading Justice Neville's opinion prior to participating in the event. Full story is available online.
C-SC to introduce Senior Days Culver-Stockton will begin to celebrate a new tradition this year, Senior Days. Senior Days will be celebrated during the three days between the end of the semester and commencement, Wednesday, May 12 through Friday, May 14. Many activities will take place, both academic and social. Volunteers to help during the event and ideas for activities are welcome. For more information, to volunteer, or to submit ideas contact Jennifer Hiller at 288-6457 or email@example.com or Tegan Viggers at 288-6571 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
C-SC Logo Shop renamed The Culver-Stockton College Logo Shop has been changed to the "One Stop Culver Shop," as voted on by students. The shop sells many different types of Culver clothing as well as school supplies, batteries, sundries (Tylenol, Carmex, etc.), envelopes, stamps, and more. Current sales in the logo shop include 30 percent off Nike warm-ups, 25 percent off jackets, 25 percent off sweatpants, 30 percent off school supplies and T-shirts for $10.

Very, very noisy. The windows look at another hotel, where there are discos and concerts. Very loud and late. The apartment next door at night staged a noisy party. At night there, even the police came. We were frightened. And every night could not sleep. Cafe at the bottom did not work. Wi-Fi is not free, slow and expensive.

The official Live Earth book -- The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook -- was officially announced yesterday by our publisher Rodale Books.
The book goes on sale June 26 for $14.95, and will have an initial first print of 200,000 copies! Proceeds from the book will be given to the Alliance for Climate Protection, the beneficiary of the Live Earth concerts.
Green note: The book will use vegetable-based inks printed on Revive 100 Offset, a 100% post-consumer waste paper stock with Forest Stewardship Council certification.
You can pre-order a copy at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Let's make this a best-seller!
The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook presents 77 essential skills for stopping climate change-and for living through it. But this is no ordinary "77 Things You Can Do to Save the World." The Global Warming Survival Handbook is a fun, compelling, and sly deconstruction of a survival guide, teaching us not simply how to change a light bulb, but how to change the way we live-all with a great sense of humor, a grain of salt, and real science to back it up. Think of it as the Boy Scouts Handbook crossed with World Changing: A User's Guide for the 21st Century atop the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.

Jane Austen's House Museum
Jane Austen's House Museum
01420 83262
01420 83262
Jane Austen's House Museum in the village of Chawton in Hampshire is where Jane spent the last eight years of her life. It is of international importance as the place where she did the majority of her mature writing, but at the same time retains the charm of a village home. A 17th century house, it tells the story of Jane Austen and her family. The garden contains many varieties of plants and herbs common in the late 18th century and is still a peaceful spot.
Venue Type:
Museum, Historic house or home, Garden, parklands or rural site
Additional info
There are refreshment facilities close by in the village.
Visitors with disabilities: The ground floor, the garden and toilets are all accessible to wheelchairs.
The museum houses an attractive collection of items connected with Jane and her family including the table that she used to write her novels. There is some of her jewellery, and examples of her needlework skill. In the drawing room is a fine Hepplewhite bureau-bookcase and chairs that belonged to Jane's father and came from the rectory at Steventon. The bookcase contains some first editions of Jane's novels.

July 21, 2008 Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) recently published From Ethiopia to Chechnya: Reflections on Humanitarian Action, 1988-1999, a collection of essays by François Jean (1956-1999) translated by Richard Swanson. Jean contributed enormously in the field and at headquarters to the evolution and direction of MSF for nearly two decades. Born in Sainte Ménehould, France, he received a doctorate in sociology from the Institute for Political Studies, or Sciences Po, in Paris in 1979, as well as a diploma from the National Institute for Eastern Languages in 1980. After joining MSF in 1982 to establish medical and surgical projects in war-torn Lebanon, he went on to oversee emergency medical interventions in a variety of countries, including Chad, Pakistan, Sudan, and Chechnya. Throughout his time with MSF, Jean wrote prolifically about the difficulties and challenges faced by humanitarian aid workers in a shifting political landscape. He helped create and edit the series, Populations in Danger, a collection of essays that wrestled with defining the scope and limits of humanitarian action, and contributed to many books, such as Ethiopia, A Useful Famine. Over the course of this year, excerpts of Jean's collected works are appearing in Alert. The book is for sale on our website. This second excerpt is a portion of "The Sudanese Conflict," which was originally published as an interview in Catholica, a French journal, in February 1993. His description here of Sudan's violent history sheds some light on the region's current, deeply rooted problems. Catholica: For brief periods, Somalia and Bosnia made the ratings jump. Not so with Sudan. Is there nothing special at all going on there? François Jean: Since 1983 the country has been devastated, once again, by war. Sudan has actually been through a series of wars, each rooted in the deep ethnic, religious, and historical cleavage between the Arab-Muslim north and the black-African south, which is mainly Christian and animist. The south has always been in a sense disadvantaged economically—not to mention being robbed, in a sense, by people in the north with no desire to share the nation's resources. The first war broke out even before the country's independence in 1955 and lasted until 1972, the year the Addis Ababa accords were signed. Then there was a period of respite, but this was relatively brief. Fighting set in again as early as 1983; just recently it has reached such a level of intensity that it is now reasonable to speculate if it is not tantamount to genocide. The number of victims is estimated at about 10 percent of the south's population—or roughly six hundred thousand people out of six million. There have been three overall phases in this exceptionally bitter war. In the first, the conflict was "normal," although it did bring about major population displacements. The second, so-called "democratic," phase coincided with the coming to power of Sadek al-Mahdi. The new regime formulated a strategy based on exploiting ethnic antagonisms, and their first step was to arm tribal militias. There has always been friction between the shepherds of the north and those of the south, taking the form of raids and cattle theft. The regime deliberately stoked these antagonisms, arming a group of Islamized nomads known as the Baggara to do battle with those in the south who allegedly—and this is not entirely untrue—provide the base of support for the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) created in 1983 by John Garang, then an officer in the Sudanese Army. This was a period of large-scale massacres, of which little was really known because they occurred in a remote, hard to reach region. Also, it must be added, there was a very serious famine following the 1988 drought that, unlike the famine in Ethiopia, has never been discussed. A new phase began in 1989 when, to everyone's surprise, the National Islamic Front came to power. The Egyptians, in any case, greeted the change with clear satisfaction, believing the new regime would be ready to negotiate an end to the conflict. But the reality was entirely different—it turned out to be no more than an Islamist takeover of power led by Hassan al-Turabi. Instead of being abandoned, the previous regime's use of tribal militias instead became more widespread. At this time, a policy of mass deportation was implemented, as well, with the aim of transforming the nation's ethnic and religious balance. Over a million and a half people fleeing war in the south gravitated to the outskirts of Khartoum, seeking a measure of security and some means of subsistence. Under the pretext of urban planning and environmental conservation, the government targeted shantytowns, clearing them with bulldozers. The now-homeless inhabitants were forcibly transferred to the desert and left to the mercies of Islamist organizations, the only groups authorized to work in the new camps. —Interview by Stéphen de Petiville |

He is a consultant in the Department of Internal Medicine and director of the Department of Internal Medicine's Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Dr. Bauer, a native of Madison, Wis., is also a professor of medicine at Mayo Medical School and a graduate of Mayo Medical School.
He serves on the editorial board of the Mayo Clinic Health Letter and is medical editor for EmbodyHealth Newsletter. He has been on staff at Mayo Clinic since 1992, first practicing at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., before joining Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., in 1996.
Dr. Bauer's principal research focus is the scientific evaluation of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies that patients and consumers are using with increasing frequency. He has authored several book chapters and papers on this topic, and is the medical editor of the "Mayo Clinic Book of Alternative Medicine." Dr. Bauer also spearheaded collaboration between Mayo Clinic and Gaiam in the creation of a series of 10 DVDs (Mayo Clinic Wellness Solutions).

Echinacea: Is it effective for the common cold?
Will dietary supplements containing echinacea help me get over a cold faster?
from Brent A. Bauer, M.D.
Maybe, but not by much. Recent study results indicate that some echinacea supplements may shorten the duration of a cold by about half a day and may slightly reduce symptom severity. But these results were too minor to be deemed significant.
In the past, some studies have found echinacea to be helpful while other studies have found no benefit. Part of the problem is that echinacea products can contain different concentrations of the herb, and the echinacea extracts used in these products can come from the flowers, stems or roots of three different echinacea plant species. This makes it difficult to compare study results.
Echinacea generally doesn't cause problems for most people, but some people taking the herb have reported side effects such as stomach upset or diarrhea. Echinacea also has the potential to interact with other medications you might be taking, so talk with your doctor before using echinacea supplements.

Notifying ADF applications of database changes – fast and lean using Active Data Service for Server to Client Push – Part Two
0Yesterday I wrote that in two articles, I would demonstrate how we can ensure that changes in the database – new, changed or deleted data – can rapidly be reflected in ADF based user interfaces running in browsers. This story involves a two-step push-mechanism: push from database to middle tier and push from middle tier to browser. For the former – discussed in Notifying ADF applications of database changes – fast and lean using Database Query Result Change Notification – Part One – we will use the Oracle Database (and JDBC Driver) feature Query Result Change Notification and for the latter we leverage the Active Data Service in ADF Faces. The latter – server to browser push – is the topic of this second part. It will hook into where the first part took us (so you are advised to first read part one) and take the changes the database notifies us all the way up into the user interface.
A sketch of the architecture of the application we will create in this article looks like this:
The two push steps are marked with the green ellipses. The red box indicates the area under scrutiny in this article.

CINCINNATI -- Sean Kilpatrick and JaQuon Parkerscored 19 points apiece, and Cincinnati turned up the defensive pressure and emerged from a two-game slump by beating Villanova 68-50 on Tuesday night.
Cincinnati (19-6, 7-5 Big East) has relied on Kilpatrick for most of its offense lately with point guard Cashmere Wrighton the mend. Kilpatrick has averaged nearly 21 points over the last seven games, leading the Bearcats in scoring each time.
Wright had 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting, his second-best point total in his last seven games.
Villanova (15-10, 6-6) had won its last two games with high-percentage shooting. The Wildcats had a tough time getting open against Cincinnati's trapping defense and turned it over 19 times. JayVaughn Pinkstonled Villanova with 12 points.
The Wildcats were only 3 of 13 behind the arc and 7 of 15 on free throws.

The death of a man who plunged 80 feet while trimming tree branches Thursday is being investigated by WorkSafe BC.
WorkSafe and the BC Coroners Service were both called out to a central Langley acreage Thursday evening to look into the causes of the fatal accident.
According to Donna Freeman of WorkSafe, the man was de-limbing a tree from a boom lift.
He was about 80 feet in the air when the lift broke and the man fell to the ground.
WorkSafes information about the incident is preliminary, Freeman noted. What caused the accident is still not known.
The man apparently worked for a small local tree trimming service.

'There's no such thing as ghosts'
October has favorite-month potential. I love the chill in the air, the smell of fireplaces and getting to wear hoodies and a few extra pounds. But one thing tarnishes the lovely month of October: Halloween decorations.
I'm afraid of ghosts. There, I said it. Ghosts freak me out. I don't care how groovy Shaggy's van is; I could never join Scooby and the gang. Casper, in all his "world's friendliest ghost" glory, could come knocking with a bucket of homemade fudge, a carafe of riesling and my favorite Bon Jovi album, and I still would have to pepper spray him. Then, of course, the pepper spray would go right through him because he is, ya know, a ghost, and I'd find myself huddled in the closet, pepper spraying myself so I wouldn't have to see the apparition before me. Not that I've thought about it before or anything.
My preschool teachers did the best they could. In addition to teaching us our ABCs and the difference between turquoise and aquamarine, they taught us not to fear those who go "Boo!" in the night.

ASA – EA did not engage in false advertisement with Mass Effect 3
The Advertising Standards Authority has ruled EA did not practice in false advertisement when promoting the fact players' choices would influence the ending of Mass Effect 3. The firm found the endings in the game to be "thematically quite different," and while it was aware players felt they didn't influence the ending as much as was advertised, it was enough for the complaint to be dismissed. The ASA's decision was based on the three choices at the end, and the effectiveness of said ending based on the EMS score of the player. After Mass Effect 3 was released, players lodged complaints with the ASA claiming EA has dabbled in false advertisement as many felts BioWare did not provide a more satisfying ending based on player choices during the entire trilogy. Thanks, Gamasutra.

Almost all games are responsibly advertised, says ASA
The British Advertising Standard Authority has said it believes 99 percent of all games in the UK are responsibly advertised.
The authority examined 241 ads examined last year to see whether or not they met guidelines.
"Our survey is encouraging as it suggests that videogames are being advertised responsibly and in line with the Codes," commented Christopher Graham, director general of the ASA.
The study was in response to Tanya Byron's UK government report on games ratings in 2008.
"The issue raised by Dr Byron of children's exposure to violent or inappropriate imagery in videogames is an important one," said Graham. "The ASA will play its part in protecting children by ensuring video game ads continue to play by the rules."

EA takes ASA heat for misleading on Tiger Wii graphics
EA's been rebuked by the British Advertising Standards Agency for using Xbox 360 graphics in a Tiger Wood commercial for Wii.
The ad featured a Wiimote playing over 360 footage of the game.
Why? EA said the Wii version didn't look good enough.
"They explained that Wii footage would not be of broadcast quality, and the originating agency had thought it preferable to use the Xbox footage, which was closer to broadcast definition, than to 'up the resolution' of Wii footage to broadcast quality," said the ASA.
The ad will not be shown again.
For the full ASA ruling, hit this.
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 | 12:36 BST
"Brutal" Condemned 2 ads banned in UK
According to this MCV story, the ASA has banned two Condemned 2 ads in Britain.
Said the UK ad standards agency: "The ads contained scenes of graphic and brutal violence which, although computer-generated, were realistic in appearance.
"We noted in particular that both ads showed a man punching another on the floor and blood splattering on the screen as a man was beaten with a club and considered viewers were likely to find those scenes offensive and distressing and to see them as condoning real violence and cruelty."
Condemned 2′s been out for about six months. Effective monitoring, there.

text: BP's civil trial, with plaintiffs seeking damages for the effects of the 2010 Gulf oil spill, gets underway in New Orleans on Monday. The oil giant has already agreed to a $4.5-billion federal settlement for criminal charges in the 2010 Gulf oil spill. In the civil trial, lawyers for the plaintiffs will seek to prove that BP was "grossly negligent" in events leading up to the Deepwater Horizon well explosion and oil spill. The company says the explosion was a tragic accident, but not caused by negligence. A court finding of "gross negligence" could mean billions more in fines for BP, including fines for violating the federal Clean Water Act. Eleven men died on the BP well. The resulting spill affected all manner of businesses and ventures along the Gulf Coast. A federal judge has ruled that some video-recorded testimony by former BP CEO Tony Hayward will have to be excluded from the trial. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier ruled that certain references in the video deposition of Hayward that refer to previous BP accidents or allegations of misconduct unrelated to the 2010 accident would have to be removed. The cort will hear private claimants, claims by states and U.S. government claims. It could last for months.
