Richard Harris Movies
Though he once declared, "I hate movies. They're a waste of time," Irish actor
Richard Harris
built a film career that lasted six decades and withstood a long fallow period in the 1970s and '80s. Often as famous for his offscreen exploits as his acting,
nevertheless was lauded for charismatic performances ranging from the tough, inarticulate rugby player in
This Sporting Life
(1963) to the wry bounty hunter in
(1992) and the contemplative emperor in
(2000). After winning over a new generation of fans with
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
(2001) and
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
passed away in 2002.
Born in Limerick, Ireland,
was the fifth of nine children. More interested in sports than art,
became a top rugby player in his teens. His sports career, however, ended after he came down with tuberculosis at age 19. Bed-ridden for two years,
read voraciously to pass the time. Calling his illness the "luckiest thing that ever happened to me,"
was inspired by his volumes of
Samuel Beckett
, James Joyce, and
Dylan Thomas
to pursue a creative profession.
left Ireland to study in London, signing up for acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in 1956 after he failed to find good classes in directing; he also joined the more experimental Theatre Workshop.
made his professional stage debut in The Quare Fellow in 1956, earning praise from Method guru
Lee Strasberg
. Spending the next few years on the stage,
appeared in Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge and became a theater star with his turn as a drunken Dublin student in The Ginger Man (1959). Branching out to the screen,
appeared in the British TV movie The Iron Harp (1958), winning a contract with Associated British Pictures Corp. that lead to his feature debut in
Alive and Kicking
(1959). Playing Irishmen,
appeared alongside Hollywood heavyweights
James Cagney
in the IRA drama
Shake Hands With the Devil
Gary Cooper
Charlton Heston
The Wreck of the Mary Deare
(1959), and
Robert Mitchum
A Terrible Beauty
(1960). After switching accents to play an Australian pilot in the World War II epic
The Guns of Navarone
held his own as one of
Marlon Brando
's mutineers in
The Mutiny on the Bounty
Confirming his status as one of the best of the new generation of British rebel actors that included
Albert Finney
Tom Courtenay
became an international movie star with
This Sporting Life
. One of the gritty cycle of "kitchen sink" films,
This Sporting Life
as a miner's son-turned-professional rugby player who achieves success on the field at the expense of his personal life. Along with showcasing
' physical prowess, his tough, sensitive performance evoked the tragic anguish of
at his 1950s peak. After winning the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival,
received his first Oscar nomination. Rather than be pigeonholed, though,
collaborated with
This Sporting Life
Lindsay Anderson
on the stage production The Diary of a Madman and co-starred as
Monica Vitti
's lover in
Michelangelo Antonioni
's 1964 study of upper-middle-class malaise,
Red Desert
then (appropriately) co-starred as
Charlton Heston
's nemesis in
Sam Peckinpah
's butchered-cavalry epic,
Major Dundee
(1965). Devoting himself full-time to movies by the mid-'60s,
appeared with
Kirk Douglas
Anthony Mann
's World War II yarn
The Heroes of Telemark
(1965), joined the cast of island epic
(1966), raised Cain in
The Bible
(1966), and co-starred with
Doris Day
as spies caught up in a mod web of intrigue and romance in
(1967). In still another change of pace,
tried his hand at musicals and became a dashing King Arthur in the film version of
(1967). He subsequently scored a hit single in 1968 with his version of "MacArthur Park."
Always a fancier of the pubs,
descended into alcoholism after his first marriage ended in divorce in 1969. Rebounding professionally from the disappointing biopic
(1970) and the intermittently engaging
The Molly Maguires
scored a box-office hit with the sleeper Western
A Man Called Horse
(1970). Starring
as a British aristocrat captured and then embraced by the Sioux after a then-notably gory initiation,
A Man Called Horse
found a large audience for its pro-Indian sympathies and macho rituals, spawning two less-popular sequels
The Return of a Man Called Horse
(1976) and
Triumphs of a Man Called Horse
(1983). Returning to his original career goals,
stepped behind the camera to direct and write, as well as star as an aging soccer player in,
The Hero
(1971). As the 1970s went on, however,
' well-publicized hell-raising with famous drinking buddies
Peter O'Toole
Richard Burton
became more entertaining than his movies. Summing up the period as "drifting from one piece of crap to another,"
funded his offscreen antics with such works as

Orca: The Killer Whale
The Ravagers
(1979), and
The Bloody Avengers
The Wild Geese
(1978), at least, featured

(1974) and
The Cassandra Crossing
(1976) were mildly engaging disaster thrillers. Plunging to his career low in the early '80s with his appearance as

The Pearl
John Steinbeck's fable of how wealth destroys the life of a simple man is given another screen adaptation in this drama. Kino (Lukas Haas) is a diver who scrapes together a meager living off the coast of Mexico. One day, Kino makes an amazing discovery -- he finds a giant pearl whose value could seemingly give his family a new lease on life. But Dr. Karl (Richard Harris), a man who deals the pearls scavenged by the local divers, wants Kino's remarkable find, and will stop at nothing to get it. As Kino struggles to hold on to his treasure, greater misfortune befalls his family, and he soon comes to regret ever pulling the pearl from the sea. The Pearl proved to be one of the last films to star Richard Harris, and the project didn't see release in the United States until three years after his death in the fall of 2002 -- hence the posthumous screen credit. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Julius Caesar

Add Julius Caesar to top of Queue
This ambitious, four-hour cable miniseries stars Jeremy Sisto (taking time off from his regular series Six Feet Under) as Roman general-turned-emperor Julius Caesar. Expensively filmed in Malta and Bulgaria, the production vividly traces Caesar's rise to prominence as a brilliant military tactician (with remarkably accurate battle scenes); his complex relationships with his mentor General Pompey (Chris Noth) and his second wife Calpurnia (Valeria Golino); his ideological tiltings with Senator Cato (Christopher Walken), who advocates democracy over Caesar's dictatorial ambitions; and his bloody (but inevitable) murder at the hands of former friends and allies. Taking some dramatic license with the facts, the film is basically sympathetic to its subject, although Caesar is depicted as a flawed man, both physically and morally. Giving Caesar points for being fundamentally honorable, in full possession of his faculties, and possessing the "common touch" with the Roman citizenry, the teleplay does not shrink away from the man's violent epileptic seizures, his megalomania, his casually calculated cruelties, and his bigamous relationship with Egyptian queen Cleopatra (Samuela Sardo). Interestingly enough, however, the miniseries downplays his notorious bisexuality ("Every man's woman and every woman's man"). In his final performance, Richard Harris appears as Caesar's wily
bête noire
, Roman dictator Sulla. Caesar was first telecast in the U.S. on June 29-30, 2003, by the TNT cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Billed as the first European 3-D CGI feature-length film, Kaena: The Prophecy revolves around a mammoth tree that rises 100 miles from the planet's surface and provides shelter and sustenance for a variety of different races and species. Referred to as Axis, the tree has been losing its sap at a rate alarming enough to threaten the well-being of some of its inhabitants. Determined to get to the root of the disappearing sap is Kaena (Kirsten Dunst), a rambunctious teenager who leaves her village against the wishes of its elders. She encounters the mysterious Selenites along the way; led by an insidious queen (Anjelica Huston), the Selenites have resorted to enslaving another race in order to prevent the tree's decline into death. Directed by Pascal Pinon and Chris Delaporte, Kaena: The Prophecy began filming in 1999 on a budget of 26 million dollars, and has been described as having merged elements from Shrek and Final Fantasy. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Youthful wizard Harry Potter returns to the screen in this, the second film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's wildly popular series of novels for young people. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) return for a second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Headmaster Dumbledore (Richard Harris), Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith), and Hagrid the Giant (Robbie Coltrane) are joined by new faculty members Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), a self-centered expert in Defense against the Dark Arts, and Sprout (Miriam Margolyes), who teaches Herbology. However, it isn't long before Harry and company discover something is amiss at Hogwarts: Students are petrified like statues, threats are written in blood on the walls, and a deadly monster is on the loose. It seems that someone has opened the mysterious Chamber of Secrets, letting loose the monster and all its calamitous powers. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out to find the secret chamber and slay the beast, speculation is rife that one of the heirs of Salazar Slytherin, the co-founder of the school, opened the chamber as a warning against the presence of "mudbloods" (magic-users of impure lineage) at the school -- and that the culprit may be fellow student Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton). Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets featured Richard Harris' second and final appearance as Headmaster Dumbledore; he died less than a month before the film was released in the United States. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

King Arthur
First broadcast in the U.K. by BBC1 under the title Arthur: King of the Britons, this hour-long documentary strives to go beyond the legends surrounding fifth century British monarch Arthur and uncover whatever facts that might exist. While the stories of the Lady in the Lake, the Sword in the Stone, the Round Table, Merlin, and Lancelot and Guinevere are like as not apocryphal, there is a sufficient body of research to indicate that Arthur himself did exist. He was probably not a British king (how could he be, since England itself did not formally exist?), but merely a powerful warlord -- and the chances that he was a staunch proponent of chivalry, democracy, and fair play are very slim indeed. Director Jean-Claude Bragard shot the film on those locations where Arthur probably lived and flourished, while computer animation recreates many of the "highlights" of his so-called reign. Richard Harris, who played Arthur in the 1967 film version of Camelot serves as the presenter and narrator. Shown in America as King Arthur, the special aired over the American cable service TLC on August 5, 2003, several months after Harris' death. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The classic tale of swashbuckling adventure by the senior Alexandre Dumas comes to the screen in its umpteenth incarnation, this time from Kevin Reynolds, directing his first feature in five years. James Caviezel stars as Edmond Dantes, an honest sailor who plans to marry his beautiful lover Mercedes (Dagmara Dominczyk). Edmond doesn't know that his best friend Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce) secretly desires Mercedes for himself and schemes with fallen aristocrat Villefort (James Frain) to frame Edmond for a crime he didn't commit. Sentenced to life on the remote island prison of D'If, Edmond becomes consumed by plans for revenge. Thirteen years pass and he meets a fellow innocent convict, Abbe Faria (Richard Harris), who becomes Edmond's mentor in swordfighting, finance, and escape, confiding that a vast treasure awaits a discoverer on the island of Monte Cristo. Eventually, Edmond is able to get away using Faria's tunnels and makes his way to Monte Cristo, where he retrieves the fortune and uses it to make himself over as the wealthy "Count of Monte Cristo." With the help of a loyal sidekick (Luis Guzman), Edmond insinuates himself into French royalty and sets about getting revenge on Villefort and Fernand, who is now married to Mercedes. The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) also stars Michael Wincott and Albie Woodington. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The best-selling novel by J.K. Rowling (titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in England, as was this film adaptation) becomes this hotly anticipated fantasy adventure from Chris Columbus, the winner of a high-stakes search for a director to bring the first in a hoped-for franchise of Potter films to the screen by Warner Bros. Upon his 11th birthday, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), who lives in misery with an aunt and uncle that don't want him, learns from a giant named Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) that he is the orphaned son of powerful wizards. Harry is offered a place at prestigious Hogwarts, a boarding school for wizards that exists in a realm of magic and fantasy outside the dreary existence of normal humans or "Muggles." At Hogwarts, Harry quickly makes new friends and begins piecing together the mystery of his parents' deaths, which appear not to have been accidental after all. The film features alternate-version scenes for every mention of the titular rock. Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, John Cleese, and Fiona Shaw co-star. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

My Kingdom
William Shakespeare's King Lear is transposed into a modern-dress British crime drama in this tense tale of family ties and the lust for power. Sandeman (Richard Harris) is the elderly leader of a Liverpool crime syndicate who is fiercely loyal to his wife Mandy (Lynn Redgrave) and his daughters Jo (Emma Catherwood), Tracy (Lorraine Pilkington), and Kath (Louise Lombard). When Mandy is shot dead during a street robbery, Sandeman is shattered, and decides it's time to turn the business over to one of his daughters. Jo, the middle child, has long been Sandeman's favorite, and he decides to give her control of the business, as well as the lion's share of his estate when he dies. Loyal Jo, however, does not want to get involved in her father's dealings, which leads to a heated battle between Tracy and Kath over Sandeman's empire; adding fuel to the fire are Dean (Paul McGann), a strong-arm man for Sandeman who's married to Kath, and Jug (Jimi Mistry), Tracy's spouse and a notorious drug dealer. As a civil war rages among Sandeman's family and associates over control of his syndicate, police officer Puttnam (Aidan Gillen) and customs agent Quick (Tom Bell) make one last attempt to put Sandeman behind bars before he retires from his life of crime. My Kingdom isn't the first gangland drama to be based on the work of William Shakespeare; another of the Bard's tragedies received similar treatment in 1955's Joe Macbeth. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death.

The story of George Adamson, whose work helped inspire the book and subsequent film Born Free, is continued in the fact-based drama To Walk With Lions. In Kenya in the late 1980's, Tony Fitzjohn (John Michie) is a young man from London who has a job as a driver with a safari guide company. However, Tony's commitment is less to exploring the wilds than in picking up women (especially wealthy tourists), so when he's fired, Tony just wants to get another job fast to get airfare home. The first position he finds is assisting George Adamson (Richard Harris), who with his bother Terence (Ian Bannen) helps "rehabilitate" lions from zoos and returns them to the wild. George is more devoted to his animals than to most people, but a bond of respect and understanding develops between George and Tony, and Tony develops a similar rapport with the lions. Tony also develops a different sort of attachment to Lucy (Kerry Fox), a British anthropologist studying indigenous tribes in Kenya. However, the tone shifts when George's ex-wife, Joy (Honor Blackman) arrives for a visit. George and Joy did not separate on cordial terms, and their meeting is brief and contentious (while Joy made a tidy sum from the book
Born Free
, George never received any of the money for his continuing work with the lions). Shortly after her departure, Joy is killed by one of her servants. While To Walk With Lions is in several respects critical of the wildlife policies of the Kenyan government, the film was financed in part by Kenyans and was filmed in Kenya with the support and cooperation of state authorities. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Sibirsky Tsiryulnik
Love blooms amidst the backdrop of czarist Russia in Nikita Mikhalkov's The Barber of Siberia. The story opens in 1905 Springfield, MA, when a woman writes a letter to a young man in a military summer-training camp. He is currently being punished by one of his superiors, who forces him to wear a gas mask until he acknowledges that Mozart was a worthless composer. The woman has an important story to tell her addressee, and our story flashes back 20 years to Russia, where American Jane Callahan (Julia Ormond) is traveling to Moscow. A man who may or may not be Jane's father, Douglas McCracken (Richard Harris), is trying to perfect a machine, christened "The Barber of Siberia," that will harvest trees from the vast Siberian forests. Douglas hopes Jane can charm Gen. Radlov (Alexei Petrenko), the head of a Russian military academy, into arranging the financing that will enable him to complete his work on the harvester. En route, Jane meets a friendly Russian soldier, Andrei Tolstoy (Oleg Menshikov), and the two soon fall in love. Jane then meets and flirts with Radlov, who grows reciprocally fond of her -- enough so that he asks her to marry him. When it becomes evident she'd rather be with Tolstoy, he finds himself shipped off to Siberia after allegedly attacking a grand duke. Merging romance, costume drama, and slapstick comedy, The Barber of Siberia was screened at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Hunchback
In medieval Paris, a deformed foundling named Quasimodo grows up under the care and tutelage of Dom Claude Frollo, the archdeacon of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Quasimodo is humpbacked, lame, and blind in a drooping eye -- a human gargoyle who keeps to the shadows of the great church as its bellringer. But the tolling bells inflict upon him another handicap: deafness. On the Festival of Fools in the cathedral square, a crowd elects Quasimodo King of Fools, and a wag quips that the hunchback's attributes qualify him to become King of France. During the festival, a Gypsy woman of transcendent beauty, Esmeralda, dances for the crowd. Watching her sultry undulations from a cathedral niche, Frollo falls in lust with her. Quasimodo, too, is captivated by her, but in a childlike, innocent way. Though Frollo is a priest committed to celibacy, he decides he must possess Esmeralda, even at the expense of his immortal soul. But after realizing she is beyond his reach, he promotes her execution for a crime she did not commit. When the noose closes around her neck, Quasimodo swoops down on a rope from the façade of the church and rescues her, then ensconces her in the bell tower. The film concludes when mobs storm the church and Quasimodo defends it, believing the attackers will harm Esmeralda. ~ Mike Cummings, Rovi

Mary McGuckian wrote and directed this "Romeo and Juliet"-style story set in Northern Ireland after the 1994 cease fire.

When Hazel and Jacobs attend a Belfast agricultural show, she meets young Catholic Malachy McAliskey (Ross McDade), and a doomed affair develops during clandestine meetings. Malachy's older brother Padhar (John Lynch) approves of the romance, but his unit leader in the militant underground, Rohan (Gabriel Byrne) is concerned over Malachy's lack of "allegiance to the cause." At the same time, Hazel's brother Jef (Marc O'Shea) spies on Hazel and informs her mother (Dearbhla Molloy). Eventually, the innocent couple is surrounded by violence.

Alan Paton's classic novel about two fathers coming to terms with personal loss and the emotional scars inflicted on South Africa during the era of apartheid was brought to the screen for a second time with this adaptation, the first major film produced in South Africa after Nelson Mandela's election ended mandatory white rule in that nation. Rev. Stephen Kumalo (James Earl Jones) is a minister from a poverty-stricken farming community who travels to Johannesburg for the first time in search of his son Absalom (Eric Miyeni), who moved to the city some time back and has gone missing. Kumalo regards the big city as a den of iniquity, and his low expectations are not betrayed; he is robbed and beaten shortly after he arrives, and when he visits his brother John (Charles S. Dutton), he discovers that Absalom has become a petty thief with a pregnant girlfriend, his sister Gertrude (Dambisa Kente) is a prostitute, and John has renounced his faith in God and advocates the violent overthrow of South Africa's white leadership. James Jarvis (Richard Harris) -- a wealthy white landowner from the same part of the country as Kumalo -- has also arrived in Johannesburg, also with sad personal business to attend to; his son, a well-liked activist for the rights of the city's black majority population, was killed during a robbery. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Silent Tongue
Playwright Sam Shepard wrote and directed this bizarre combination of western film revisionism and Greek tragedy. Silent Tongue (Tantoo Cardinal) is a mute Kiowa who is raped by Eamon McCree (Alan Bates), the owner of the Kickapoo Traveling Medicine Show. Eamon attempts to make up for his crime by marrying her, hoping for forgiveness. Instead, Silent Tongue enacts a bitter retribution through her two daughters, Awbonnie (Sheila Tousey) and Velada (Jeri Arredondo). Awbonnie, as the film begins, has already died, but her grieving husband Talbot (River Phoenix) refuses to let her go, dragging around her corpse. To assuage Talbot, his father Prescott (Richard Harris) sets out to purchase Velada from Eamon, thinking that only Awbonnie's sister can replace her in Talbot's eyes. But Velada's half-brother Reeves (Dermot Mulroney) protests the attempted transaction. As a result, Prescott kidnaps Velada and flees, with not only Reeves and Eamon chasing him, but also Awbonnie's ghost. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Richard Harris and Robert Duvall star in this low-key drama concerning a hard-drinking former sea captain (Richard Harris) who befriends a shy retired barber (Robert Duvall). Though their polar-opposite personalities find the relationship slow going at first, roguish Frank (Harris) and gentle Walter (Duvall) soon develop a close friendship as they pass the days with conversation. As death looms near and their pasts seem to evaporate into the air with the passing of each day, the lonely souls find comfort in each other's company until their fragile friendship is shattered. When Frank insults a waitress (Sandra Bullock) with whom Walter harbors a protective friendship, Walter makes the decision to cut his ties with loutish Frank. Forced to reevaluate their friendship, the two lonely souls attempt to find meaning in their lives as their chances for connecting with the outside world grows ever more dim. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In Patriot Games, Harrison Ford plays former CIA agent Jack Ryan, taking over from Alec Baldwin, who had played author Tom Clancy's brainy protagonist in Hunt for Red October. This time around, Ryan foils an attempted assassination, thereby incurring the wrath of a maniacal Irish radical (Sean Bean). After seemingly neutralizing the villains, and deciding to celebrate the occasion with his wife (Anne Archer) and daughter (Thora Birch), everything appears to be back to normal; then all hell breaks loose. Author Tom Clancy himself bemoaned the liberties taken with his novel in the final sequences; the picture scored with audiences, however, and soon inspired a followup, A Clear and Present Danger (1994), also starring Ford. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dedicated to his mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel, Clint Eastwood's 1992 Oscar-winner examines the mythic violence of the Western, taking on the ghosts of his own star past. Disgusted by Sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett's decree that several ponies make up for a cowhand's slashing a whore's face, Big Whiskey prostitutes, led by fierce Strawberry Alice (Frances Fisher), take justice into their own hands and put a $1000 bounty on the lives of the perpetrators. Notorious outlaw-turned-hog farmer William Munny (Eastwood) is sought out by neophyte gunslinger the Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett) to go with him to Big Whiskey and collect the bounty. While Munny insists, "I ain't like that no more," he needs the bounty money for his children, and the two men convince Munny's clean-living comrade Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) to join them in righting a wrong done to a woman. Little Bill (Oscar-winner Gene Hackman), however, has no intention of letting any bounty hunters impinge on his iron-clad authority. When pompous gunman English Bob (Richard Harris) arrives in Big Whiskey with pulp biographer W.W. Beauchamp (Saul Rubinek) in tow, Little Bill beats Bob senseless and promises to tell Beauchamp the real story about violent frontier life and justice. But when Munny, the true unwritten legend, comes to town, everyone soon learns a harsh lesson about the price of vindictive bloodshed and the malleability of ideas like "justice." "I don't deserve this," pleads Little Bill. "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it," growls Munny, simultaneously summing up the insanity of western violence and the legacy of Eastwood's Man With No Name. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Fiscal Outlook
State Budget
California's Fiscal Outlook: The 2011-12 Budget
November 10, 2010
Our forecast of California's General Fund revenues and expenditures shows that the state must address a budget problem of $25.4 billion between now and the time the Legislature enacts a 2011‑12 state budget plan. The budget problem consists of a $6 billion projected deficit for 2010‑11 and a $19 billion gap between projected revenues and spending in 2011‑12. Similar to our forecast of one year ago, we project annual budget problems of about $20 billion each year through 2015‑16. We continue to recommend that the Legislature initiate a multiyear approach to solving California's recurring structural budget deficit. In 2011‑12, such an approach might involve $10 billion of permanent revenue and expenditure actions and $15 billion of temporary budget solutions. In 2012‑13, 2013‑14, and 2014‑15, another few billion of permanent actions each year could be initiated, along with other temporary budget solutions, and so on until the structural deficit was eliminated.

Real Estate Commission Continuing EducationContinuing Education Requirement for License Renewal – DO IT RIGHT! Active associate brokers, brokers and designated brokers are required to complete 21 clock hours of approved continuing education, which includes the 3 clock hour core course that is mandatory at the time of renewal, as a prerequisite to the renewal of a license. A renewal license will be issued upon receipt of the renewal application, fee and confirmation by the licensee that the required continuing education has been completed. The statement of completion does not mean you "think" you've completed the required hours or that you intend to complete the hours at a later date. When you check the "yes" response to the continuing education question that means you are attesting to the truthfulness of the statement and that the Commission can rely upon the response to issue the license. If it is found after audit that you had not completed the required 21 clock hours, sanctions similar to the range noted above may be imposed. Do it Right! Keep a file of your continuing education course certificates. In addition, to the course certificates keep a list of the courses you've completed including name of the sponsor, course title and date of completion. If you misplace a certificate, you can contact the sponsor for a replacement. Before you renew:

Kitchenology Blog | Newsletter | Find a Pro
Today it's hard to imagine a kitchen without a big upright refrigerator/ freezer, but in 20 years, multiple cooling appliances might be the norm. Major trends changing the way we think about refrigeration include:
Modular refrigerators.
With varying widths and heights, they make it possible to separate your freezer from your refrigerator and place them in convenient spots throughout the kitchen.
Refrigerator and freezer drawers.
Installed under the counter in place of a cabinet drawer, they work equally well for conveniently storing food and drinks in a kitchen island, a butler's pantry, a rec room or a finished basement.
Beverage centers and wine chillers.
Ranging from small countertop and undercounter models to upright or even vault size, they bring a touch of luxury to any home and make entertaining more fun.
Even the traditional refrigerator with freezer compartment has entered an era of change. Trends have shifted away from refrigerators with top-mount freezers to sleek bottom-freezer units, professional side-by-sides, and hybrid French door models.
Stainless steel or stainless-look exteriors are just as common as white, black or bisque, while more manufacturers have begun to offer fridges in muted natural tones, bright primary colors and nostalgic retro hues.
To make less of a statement with your refrigerator, go with a built-in or counter-depth fridge that is flush with your cabinetry. Take it a step further by choosing a refrigerator that accepts cabinet panels, making the appliance an inconspicuous part of your kitchen.
Best of all, today's refrigeration appliances are far more energy efficient than those of yesteryear, offering a substantial saving on annual utility costs.

NF/ Observatory Networking with Linux
This article describes the network that NF/ Observatory (NFO) uses to remotely control an automatic optical telescope. More information about the observatory can be found at Western New Mexico University's web site at http://www.wnmu.edu/nfo.
Each of the computers in the NFO network uses the Linux operating system. The four primary computers use version 1.2.13 while some of the R & D computers use version 2.0.0. Linux was chosen because of its reliability, versatility, low cost and native support for the large variety of networking types that we use. NFO uses Ethernet, Spread Spectrum wireless, ham radio and telephone modems at various points in the network.
The NF/ Ranch House
This node is located at the NF/ ranch and is the one that uses the antenna shown in Figure 1. When we built the telescope in 1986 there was no telephone service to the ranch. In fact, there wasn't even commercial power to the ranch until 1984! The three media types used here are ham radio, coaxial Ethernet and telephone modem. Ham radio has been in use for 10 years and predates Linux. The radio link receives information used to program the observing list for the telescope. It also transmits the pictures and telemetry from the telescope back to the data reduction computer and the Internet connection in Silver City.
The Digital Relay Dish at NFO
The Automatic Radio Linked Telescope
The ham radio equipment consists of a Terminal Node Controller (MFJ 1270), a TAPR 9600 bps modem (http://www.tapr.org/) and a Motorola MOCOM 70 commercial FM transceiver which we modified to send and receive data. Linux communicates with the TNC via an RS-232 serial link. The relevant portion of scope's /etc/rc.d/rc.local files is:
#!/bin/sh /bin/echo "Setting TNC RS232 speed to 9600" # Also setting clocal to ignore modem control # lines. /bin/stty 9600 clocal < /dev/cua2 /bin/stty -a < /dev/cua2 /bin/echo "Sending commands to TNC" sleep 1 # txdelay /bin/echo -ne "\300\001\020\300" > /dev/cua2 # persist /bin/echo -ne "\300\002\377\300" > /dev/cua2 # slot time /bin/echo -ne "\300\003\004\300" > /dev/cua2 # tail /bin/echo -ne "\300\004\004\300" > /dev/cua2 /bin/echo "Commands to TNC done." /bin/echo "Setting port to AX25 mode." sleep 1 /usr/local/bin/axattach -s 9600 /dev/ttyS2 KC5ZG-2 sleep 1 /usr/local/ax25/etc/axaddarp 22.214.171.124 WY5G-4 /sbin/ifconfig sl0 126.96.36.199 mtu 512 /sbin/route add 126.96.36.199 sl0 /sbin/route add default gw 18.104.22.168 sl0
The Ethernet hardware is an NE2000 clone card that communicates with the dedicated telescope control computer via about 100 feet of RG058 coaxial cable. The two computers communicate using the FTP protocol to move data back and forth. The telescope control computer doesn't use Linux, since it is involved in the real-time control of the CCD camera.
The telephone modem provides a backup link to town. It is rarely used, since it is a long distance call from Silver City to the ranch, and the ham radio link has been quite reliable.
This node is located at 8000 feet near the Continental Divide and can be reached by a jeep trail, if it hasn't snowed lately; otherwise, it is a strenuous but beautiful backpacking trip. The reliability of Linux is important here! In addition to the radio that communicates with the ranch, this site also boasts a 2 Mbs Spread Spectrum link and another ham radio link using a PI2 card instead of a TNC. The /etc/rc.d/rc.local file looks like this:
#! /bin/sh # Attach link to NM2 Node Stack /sbin/axattach -s 9600 /dev/ttyS0 WY5G-8 sleep 1 echo "Ifconfig sl0 to 188.8.131.52" /sbin/ifconfig sl0 22.214.171.124 /sbin/ifconfig sl0 mtu 512 # configure Wavlan Spread Spectrum link. /sbin/ifconfig eth0 188.8.131.52 echo "Adding routes" /sbin/route -n add 220.127.116.11 sl0 /sbin/route -n add 220.127.116.11 sl0 /sbin/route -n add 184.108.40.206 gw 22.214.171.124\ eth0 /sbin/route -n add 22.214.171.124 eth0\ /sbin/route -n add default gw 184.108.40.206 eth0 echo "Configuring PI2 Card Port A" /sbin/ifconfig pi0a 188.8.131.52 /sbin/ifconfig pi0a hw ax25 WY5G-8 /sbin/ifconfig pi0a broadcast 184.108.40.206 /sbin/ifconfig pi0a netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig pi0a arp mtu 512 up /pi2/piconfig pi0a speed 9600 txdelay 250\ persist 255 squelch 10 slot 1 echo "Configuring PI2 Card Port B" /sbin/ifconfig pi0b 18.104.22.168 /sbin/ifconfig pi0b hw ax25 WY5G7 /sbin/ifconfig pi0b broadcast 188.8.131.52 /sbin/ifconfig pi0b netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig pi0b arp mtu 512 up /sbin/ifconfig pi0b 188.8.131.52 hw ax25 WY5G-7 up /pi2/piconfig pi0b speed 1200 /sbin/route -/ - add 220.127.116.11 sl0 # /sbin/route -n add 184.108.40.206 gw 188.8.131.52 sl0 /bin/axaddarp 184.108.40.206 kc5zg-2
One point of interest in the above file is that the commands normally sent to configure the TNC are missing. In this case, the TNC is configured by its internal X1J Node software, which also sets the TNC's serial port to communicate in ax25 mode instead of the more usual nrs mode. This configuration allows the Linux computer and the X1J Node to share one transceiver, a Motorola MITREK modified for data transmission.
The Wavelan interface looks like an Ethernet card to Linux. It is configured by an append line in the /etc/lilo.conf, like this:
# LILO configuration file # generated by "liloconfig" # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda # compact and faster, but won't work on all # systems. delay = 50 vga = normal # force sane state ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config ends image = /zImage.wav root = /dev/hda2 label = wavelan append = "ether=0,0x390,0x5280,eth0" read-only
The Wavelan interface is experimental, and doesn't work well enough over the seven mile path to the WNMU Node to be used as our primary link. With improved antennas we expect it to be an excellent high speed link.
The other experimental interface uses a PI2 card to control a radio link on another frequency. So far this link hasn't been used, since it interferes with a nearby ham radio voice repeater.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Your Council
The government is reducing the amount of housing benefit some people can claim.
The National Housing Association leaflet, What you need to know about changes to Housing Benefit (pdf 1,262KB), will help you find out who will be affected and where you can go for help and advice.
The changes affect many people of working age, including those who live in housing association and council owned housing.
From April 2013 council tax benefit will be replaced with a local scheme. The new scheme means that every person of working age will have to pay something (working age people who receive a war pension are protected from this change).
Housing Benefit is a means-tested benefit payable to people on a low income who are liable to pay rent for accommodation they are occupying as their home. It is paid whether or not they are available for or in full-time work and is paid in addition to other benefits or tax credits.
Housing Benefit adds together the same allowances and premiums (not housing costs) as Income Support to come up with an applicable amount, then:
If tenants live in council accommodation or other social housing, new rules apply from April 2013 regarding the calculation of housing benefit. The housing benefit will be assessed taking into consideration the size of accommodation the household requires.
Local Housing Allowance is used to calculate new claims for Housing Benefit tenants renting accommodation from a private landlord. It also affects tenants already getting Housing Benefit who move into accommodation rented from a private landlord.
For people who receive Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit and appear to need further help they can apply for Discretionary Housing Payments.
To be eligible for Housing Benefit, you must:
To claim housing benefits, tenants will need to complete an application form:
The following forms are also available online:
It is important to return the form as soon as possible as benefit will usually be paid from the Monday after we receive your application.
You will also need to provide evidence of your income, savings and rent.
Do not wait until you have all the proof asked for on the form; this can be sent separately.
Tenants can also estimate their entitlement to housing benefit online.
Further benefits advice can be found on the DWP Benefits Advisor Service.
If you pay your rent to Medway Council or mhs housing, payments will be made directly to your rent account.
Under the new Local Housing Allowance scheme if you pay rent to a private landlord, payment will be made directly to yourself .
If payment is made to you this will be done every two weeks in arrears. If payment is made to your landlord this will be done every four weeks in arrears.
When we make a decision about you claim, we will send you a benefit decision notice. By law we have to include certain information in this letter. We have produced a guide to help explain decision notices following a new or changed award (pdf 229KB) and if you have an overpayment (pdf126KB).

Gilead PHOTOS
Even though it was really hot on Saturday, it was nice to have sunshine for Friends and Family Day. Mary Tyler and Sandra Laughy stopped by last Monday and we discussed the events of Friends and Family Day and made some notes for next year. We watched a pair of cedar waxwings trying to get some pieces of string out of a bush to use for their nest.
My brother, Steve McLain, is taking a few days of vacation before the end of the school year. He also saw a turtle crossing the road on his way home from work one day last week.
Lise McLain took her father, Gerard Dupont, for some tests at the hospital last week. They received word that the results were favorable.
At the Memorial Day yard sale at the Town Hall, someone bought a rocking chair and was going to come back to pick it up. It is still here, so please call 836-2987.
Gilead Historical Society
The GHS worked very hard to sponsor Friends and Family Day again this year. There were a little over 100 people who attended. This is just a little below average for the last couple of years.
The work crew assembled Friday to set up the Town Hall and Schoolhouse for Saturday. There were Hugh and Lin Chapman, Mary Tyler, Sandra Laughy, Aline Dupont, Norm Buttrick, Bob and Judy Bishop, Steve McLain and Tim and Michele.
The Gilead Fire Department was at the Fire Station selling hamburgers, hot dogs and cold drinks. Judy Tyler set up her booth and with the help of her daughter, Amber, did face painting.
Bobo T. Clown was on hand for the children's parade and performed his magic show afterward. The winners of the parade were Sidney Chapman (First Place), Tanner McLean (Second Place) and Jakob Hooper (Third Place). Judges for the parade were Aline Dupont and Tammy MacDormand.
Perry and Happy Chapman spent the day watching over the food table in the hall. They also sold some of the squares for the Memory Quilt. There are still squares that can be bought by contacting either Lin Chapman (836-2987) or Alicia McLean (836-2153).
Lise McLain creates her own jewelry. She donated four of her homemade necklaces for the GHS to raffle off. The winners were Aline Dupont, Deb Walther, Bethany Corriveau and Lin Chapman.
Norm Buttrick worked very hard to make the schoolhouse presentable for the day. He had some help from Hugh Chapman, Tim Chapman and Michele Landry. They set the room up to give anyone an idea of what it looked like when it was a school, with the teacher's desk down front and a few student desks lined up by the windows. We are still looking for school-related items and stories of attending the school .
At 11 a.m., a group of people attended the dedication of the plaque in memory of Millie McLain. The McLain family donated the property to the GHS and that made it possible for the good things that are happening on the McLain lot on the corner. First the Gilead Village Schoolhouse arrived last August and before long, the old 1851 railroad station will be returning to Gilead. The railroad station is already on the Historic Register. Howard Reiche delivered the plaque that was on the building to the GHS for safe keeping. It will be placed back on the building when it arrives in Gilead.
State Representative Jarrod Crockett gave a great speech before the plaque was unveiled by Millie's son and daughter, Steve McLain and Linsley "McLain" Chapman. Jarrod spoke a little on Millie's life in Gilead and how much she cared about the town. Jarrod was pleased to be a part of this event since he has family connections to Gilead. Many thanks to Jarrod for his help and offer to call on him anytime in the future.
Dean Bennett was the featured speaker of the day. He did a Power Point presentation on his newest book, "Nature and Renewal, Wild River Valley & Beyond." The group of people who attended enjoyed the presentation and had a chance to speak with him and get an autographed copy of the book. Many thanks to Mr. Bennett, who is a member of the GHS, for taking his time to come to Gilead to speak. The GHS still has copies if anyone would like to purchase one.
The Gilead Recreation Committee was there to oversee the games for the children. Alicia McLean did a great job running the games and keeping them busy. Alicia also sold raffle tickets to raise money for the Rec. Committee and they did quite well. The tickets were sold during the day and the winners were drawn at the end of the day. There were three baskets that were the prizes. The winners were: Snack Basket, Judy Tyler; Popcorn Basket, Linda Taylor; Kid's Toys Basket, Sidney Chapman.
This event is held each year to give the citizens of Gilead, and their friends and family from all over, the chance to get together and spend some time catching up on what they have been doing over the past year or so. The GHS would like to thank everyone who made the day a success by helping out or by attending the event. We appreciate your support.

Jefferson has a lot of catching up to do in order to remain on top of the Platte Valley Conference this year.
The two-time defending regular season champions were beaten soundly by rising power North Andrew in the PVC Tournament Girls Championship game 51-29 Friday at Bearcat Arena.
Coached by former Northwest women's assistant Chuck Fox, North Andrew scored the game's first 10 points and never relented control, holding at least a 13-point lead throughout the second half.
This was Jefferson's first loss to a PVC opponent since falling to Northeast Nodaway during the 2009-2010 season.
"North Andrew is a quality team," said Jefferson head girls coach Tyler Pedersen. "I knew that coming into the season. The past couple of years they've had some really good players and they've added to it with some underclassmen. They had three or four freshmen out there. They have a lot of talent."
In a start that resembled last year's sectional game against Mercer at Bearcat Arena, Jefferson needed a buzzer-beating jumper from Danae Schieber to avoid being shutout in the first quarter.
This time, the Eagles never recovered.
North Andrew scored the first eight points of the second quarter, building its lead to 18-2.
A bank shot by Shanna Welch sent the Eagles into the half trailing 21-8.
The Cardinals put their foot on the throttle in the third quarter, turning a slew of Jefferson turnovers into quick points to stretch their lead to 39-16.
At that point, Jefferson's fate was pretty much sealed.
"We're not in shape and we weren't playing strong," said Pedersen. "North Andrew was playing a lot stronger than us. I kept that positive attitude thinking it would turn around. That's a big court they're playing on. When you're gassed in the first three minutes of the game, it's probably not going to get any better."
North Andrew's Danielle Chambers led all scorers with 16 points. Brinsley Oliver posted 13 points. Six others chipped in between two and six points.
Welch led Jefferson with 10 points. Schieber tossed in seven. Jill Henry had six and Brooklyn Stoll tallied five points.
Jefferson's next game is Tuesday against LeBlond. They play North Andrew again Jan. 15 in Conception Junction.
DeKalb 39 Northeast Nodaway 24 (3rd Place Game)
Held to seven first half points and none in the first quarter, Northeast Nodaway picked up its offense in the second half, but not enough to catch DeKalb in a 39-24 loss Friday at Bearcat Arena.
Alyssa Jones led all scorers with 13 points. Madison Reagan followed with 10.
Taryn Farnan paced Northeast Nodaway with 11 points. Holly Redden added seven with a 3-pointer.
Page 2 of 2 - South Nodaway 32 Osborn 20 (Consolation Game)
Playing tenacious defense over four quarters, the Longhorns secured a 32-20 win over Osborn Thursday in the girls consolation game.
South Nodaway held Osborn to seven points or fewer in all four quarters, with a game-low of two in the fourth.
Andrea Henggeler and LeAnn Walker were the game's high scorers with nine points.

Platform LSF one of the best available offerings if you consider the overall administrative burden, APIs, quality of documentation and quality of support. Basically for some cases the cost of the commercial software license more than pays for itself in having a product that is stable, well documented and has a very low admin/ operational burden. Trying to save money on an open source product and then needing to hire additional people to keep it from falling over is a mistake I've seen at more than one site. That said, I'm personally a Grid Engine zealot these days and use/ deploy it often. Open source and commercial flavors, amazing support community and a high level of product acceptance & market share in the life sciences which is where I do most of my work. In the interest of full disclosure I do Grid Engine consulting & training so I'm not totally unbiased here. When it comes to PBS variants I'd avoid the pure open source versions of PBS/Torque - I don't think I've ever been in an openPBS or Torque shop that has not altered the source code or otherwise dug deeply into the product. For people considering the PBS route I always recommend checking in with the pbspro people first.

Qualcomm is kicking off its annual uplink developers conference in San Diego so what's new from the chipmaker we want to find out your body -- he joins us with a special guest.
Hi -- and thanks libel we are very pleased to be joined by the CEO.
Biggest mobile chip maker in the world the CEO of Qualcomm doctor Paul Jacobs is great this year again Paul.
Good to see it there thanks for having me and let's start things off by talking about the news of the day this ruling on the health care a lot.
-- how does affect you as a CEO -- tax Payer and an employee here a more than 171000 people out there.
So we've always had a very good health care program for employees really covering.
All of their costs and so.
For us there have been some impacts we've had to reduce some of the benefits that we had.
But really you know we've been very good health care provider.
On the other side on the business side what we're very interested in is the opportunity now.
To build technologies that help improve the efficiency.
And productivity of the health care system and we really believe that.
Wireless can do that I -- can help manage chronic conditions that can help people.
Managed care for elderly or for.
Young people -- can help expand health care to places where it's been hard to cover so.
We think that some of the provisions of the bill of the law.
Well and encourage use of to these new technologies.
You talk about new technologies and some of that new developments coming out at a company -- carry your mentioning as being one of those areas.
Another piece of news to come out of your company today is a restructuring of sorts to protect your patents give this some additional insight on this.
How much it's gonna cost what the upside is overall for the company for doing so.
But so really has negligible.
Cost or impact to.
Customers and and employs really formalizes.
A way of doing business where we had separated our licensing our chipset business from each other.
What it really does is we think in the future make it very clear to people in the open source community and other communities.
That when we are providing licenses to certain patents.
Those are clear and when we are not providing them that is also clear and that's what we're really trying to formalize there's no.
No pending thing that we are worried about.
And that really this is just for us to add an extra bit of caution and also to allow us to bring our products to market even quicker.
Because open sources become a more interest in part of the industry.
You it can't talk here I'd developers conference today out Paul and a lot of trends and ideas that you guys talk about there.
-- little bit too -- for the average person there -- whenever that trend is and on the -- seemed to live on and products that we will keep in our pockets and then and our and our in our purses.
In the coming years give us an idea of what we can expect in tablets and mobile phones based on what you guys are talking about today.
What we're gonna see some great stuff coming in -- computing space.
Over the next year then light always on always connected tablets for the full computing environment.
As one example world we are working very closely with Microsoft.
On there launch of the next version of windows which will run on mobile processors and so you're gonna have.
Computing be more like a Smart phone is always going to be there for you.
And you're not gonna have to wait to -- up -- way to connect it's just going to be working all the time so that's exciting.
And and there are a lot of -- technologies that we showed off things called augmented reality which allow you to merge.
Virtual objects with real objects and we showed that people using this for.
Shopping that they would go up to a display in a store point their camera added and all of a sudden they be able to see different versions of of clothing -- of shoes at.
Be able to buy things right there compare -- reviews.
This kind of stuff I think the emerging of the Internet and bring it into the physical world is something that though the trend that we'll see occurring over the next.
Say three to five years.
A blessing and a curse for mobile shop -- like myself Paul great to see you doctor Paul Jake heads -- CEO called come always good to have you on this program.
I think you --
