This is the perfect easel paper for my grandchildren. The paper is a good quality and the width is correct for the easel frame. In addition, the roll is a generous length for my busy artists. So glad I could order this because it is hard to find BUT I would love to see it in the store when I'm desperate to find a refill quickly.

Paper rolls were fine... but with minor online shopping time spent we saved 30% buying the same product elsewhere (rolls + shipping). Our grandchildren LOVE their M&D easels, esp. with these paper rolls.

About Me Parent
I went to the exact easel that my grandaughter has and ordered the replacement paper rolls. When we tried to put it on, it was wider than the paper that came with it. I'm not sure why it waswider than the original.

Fits perfectly on the Alex Toys Super Art Table. Our daughter loves her art table and paints, draws and colors constantly so this double roll pack was the ticket for refilling her table with paper. Thick for all sorts of arts and crafts for preschool and up aged children. I would (and will) purchase this product again and again!
No complaints here

We bought the easel for our daughter for X-mas and as much as she uses it, we just ran out of the paper for it...5 months later. I would say it was a great value for the price and very long lasting!

Addicks chief not giving up on N'Guessan deal yet
4:29pm Thursday 30th August 2012 in Sport By Callum Henderson
CHARLTON manager Chris Powell is still interested in signing Dany N'Guessan and believes he would add something different to his attacking options.
The Frenchmen had a fruitful loan spell at the Valley last season and remains a target for the Addicks despite them having a loan bid rejected by Millwall last week.
However, this hasn't necessarily put Powell off.
He said: "There has been a long-standing interest from us.
"There has been a bit of a stalemate with regards to discussions on Dany.
"We will have to come to an agreement, something may happen at the last minute.
"Whether something will happen before Friday, I don't know."
Powell is well aware of the fact that if a permanent deal isn't struck, he will have the chance to once again acquire N'Guessan's services on a temporary basis when the loan window opens.
He said: "Of course we still have the opportunity in 10 days time to move with regards to a loan but that is a bit out of my hands at the moment.
"It is quite a difficult time for everyone."
Talking about the striker's qualities, the Addicks boss explained: "Dany will add to our squad, he would add that physical presence, add that power.
"He is a goal threat."
Charlton do already have a number of strikers on their books, although Powell hinted young Michael Smith could be set for another loan spell away from the club after last year's temporary switch to Accrington Stanley.
He added: "Obviously I have got some good strikers here in Yann Kermorgant, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Haynes, Jordan Cook and young Michael Smith, who I have had on the bench.
"Michael needs to play now, hopefully he will go out on loan in the future to add to his development.
"I want us to be strong in that department.
"I want us to always try and add good players, strong players with power and with that Championship know how."

This is the 2nd funniest posting in this thread. Did you notice that ground-based telescopes recently started being much, much bigger? These new lenses were invented and made in Arizona by an astronomer, who figured out how to spin molten glass into roughly the right shape, instead of taking a huge, flat, thick piece of glass and grinding it into the shape of a mirror. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4773461 Our community does this kind of stuff because it wouldn't happen otherwise. The funniest posting in this thread was when rgb failed to notce that Perry had compared the difficulty of directing physics research to the difficulty of writing a program. Some computer programs are hard. Most aren't. So it's a dumb comparison. I don't know what to make of Vincent saying that I sound like an average guy who watches TV. I haven't watched TV much since 1983, but I have spent a lot of time as an astronomy graduate student doing supercomputing, and then working with scientific programmers. This isn't meant to encourage anyone to continue discussing any of this. I did want to point out how misinformed most of the "discussion" was. That's in addition to being pointless. Yeah, I'm probably a bit grouchy because my car's parking lights don't turn off anymore after the final dust storm at Burning Man. The owner's manual says it can't happen. Must have been written by a computer scientist :-) -- greg

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
He has however returned to action in time to impress in Ulster's march to the PRO12 final and did enough to convince Lions head coach Warren Gatland he was worthy of a place on the tour Down Under.
And Bowe is determined to make up for lost time.
"It's been a nervous couple of months waiting for the call," he said. "I was concerned the injury would affect my chances because I haven't played a lot of rugby this season, which I knew was going to hamper my chances.
"I missed out on the Six Nations which is such a big event in which to put your hands up for selection, so I knew I was going to make it difficult for myself, but the fact the coaches had the confidence in me to pick me has been a real boost and hopefully I can find a bit of form to take into the tour.
"I'll certainly be one the fresher guys on tour. It is a tough, bruising season and the guys who've played week in, week out will be feeling it, so hopefully that will work in my favour."

My first simulated process print. It's done with pen & ink and watercolor.
The 'superglow' ink is not supposed to show up on lighter colored shirts, so I think this would work out alright. If my calculations are right, if this were ever picked it may be printed close to Halloween...but I would personally wear it all year round.
Sorry about the crappy jpeg quality - I had a horrible time compressing it to 250 kb. There is a larger version Here.

Recruiting volunteers will be a lot easier if you know how many volunteers you need. Start with the Region Coach Administrator, and have him make a list of how many teams you will have in each division next season. From there, you can see how many coaches and assistant coaches you need. Have your Region Referee Administrator and board members do the same thing. Now you'll have a master list of all the volunteers you need.
A Volunteer Coordinator will handle all your volunteer needs. The Volunteer Coordinator should work with each Region Board member to identify volunteer needs for the Region. Once they've identified the Region's needs, they can work with the Registrar to help set up a process at registration to recruit the necessary volunteers. After registration, determine how many volunteers are still needed. Make sure all Region Board members have the list of positions still available and have them help your Volunteer Coordinator recruit for those positions. By having a Volunteer Coordinator, your volunteer needs will be centralized. Just remember, whomever you pick for this position needs to be very organized.
A Region should be able to recruit 90 percent of the volunteers it needs at registration. If you aren't able to recruit all the volunteers you need at registration, you can also recruit volunteers at games, practices, late registrations and events such as opening day ceremonies and picture day. Remember to advertise that you need volunteers. Put up posters on the field and advertise in your newsletters and on your Web site.
Ask everyone that comes through the door at registration how they would like to volunteer. Don't assume parents know that you need volunteers. They need to be asked.
Put the AYSO Philosophies on posters, making them as big as possible. Laminate the posters, so you can reuse them in the future. Place the philosophies in prominent positions around the room.
Use the lists created by using Tip #1 to determine the number of volunteers you need. Tape the lists on each position table (coach, referee, Team Parent, Field Coordinator, Division Coordinator, etc.)
Categorize positions by "jobs that require some soccer knowledge" and "jobs that don't require soccer knowledge." Here are some examples:
Each board member can recruit for the positions they need. The Coach Administrator recruits coaches; the Referee Administrator recruits referees, and so on.
The more space you have, the better. This will allow you to spread out your registration, and give workers and parents the space to interact with each other. Consider schools, community centers, malls and other places where families congregate.
Refreshments will make the environment more casual and friendly. Make sure to mention the refreshments to parents as they come into the room. Refreshments will get the parents to relax and stay long. Some of your refreshments should be child friendly.
Returning volunteers have already heard your volunteer recruitment speech, so make a special line for them to ensure they don't have to wait. This way you can get returning volunteers registered quickly. This is also a small thank you to them for volunteering again.
People want to speak with someone that will make them feel most comfortable. For women, it's usually other women. For a minority, it's usually someone else of that minority. So make sure you have both genders represented, as well as all the major minorities in your community.
Have each of your workers wear a name badge with any languages other than English that they speak. The name badge should read "I speak Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Hebrew, Bosnian, etc."
You've all been there. You have a parent that comes in for registration with the kids. The kids are bored, tired and have nothing to do while mom and dad are signing them up to play soccer in AYSO. Mom and dad just don't have the time to talk about volunteering because the kids are complaining. If you've had this problem at your registration event, think about creating a Kid's Corner. This will give the kids a place to hang out while you talk to mom and dad. Here are some suggestions on what to do in your Kid's Corner.
They want to be involved in their children's lives. If they don't volunteer for AYSO, they will volunteer elsewhere.
A volunteer form will help parents decide how they want to volunteer in your Region. List all the jobs that are available and perhaps the approximate time commitment they take (three hours per season, two hours per week, etc.).
Make sure your volunteer workers at registration wear matching shirts and name tags so that people can see and meet volunteers in action.
Acknowledging new volunteers will make them feel welcome and wanted, so walk over any new volunteer that you recruit and introduce her to the Regional Commissioner (RC). Make sure the RC shakes his hand and says thank you. That small gesture will go a long way. You can also give a small gift to the new volunteer. A pen, refrigerator magnet or pin would work great. To keep track of your success, set up a thermometer on the wall which marks significant milestones to achieving your recruitment goal. As new volunteers are recruited, update the thermometer. While each new volunteer should be acknowledged and thanked, don't forget to thank your returning volunteers as well.
Floaters will be able to do a variety of jobs. They can:
Have greeters at the door as parents arrive.
Alternate times and locations give you an opportunity to reach parents that aren't able to come to your standard registration.
These husbands and wives sign up their spouses. Write "sp" for spouse on the volunteer form to indicate that the spouse was not present at registration. Give the husband or wife printed information to bring home to the "new volunteer." Remind the husband or wife to tell their spouse that they are officially an AYSO volunteer. Call the "new volunteer" within two weeks. You are calling to welcome the new volunteer to AYSO and tell them when the training will be. You are NOT calling to see if they want to be an AYSO volunteer.
Work with other youth programs and advertise AYSO.
Number each station to make sure that parents stop at each recruiting table. At each table, provide a description of each AYSO position that is needed.
Have a slide show playing during registration of volunteers having fun.
If parents are sitting at a table, sit down next to them and try to recruit. They may be intimidated if you are looking down at them.
Pick some of your AYSO volunteers and invite them to AYSO meetings and training events. Make sure these volunteers interact with current board members during meals and at social gathering.
Suggest training events to your potential board members that you know they will benefit from.

Born to RunBYCHRISTOPHERMCDOUGALL
"MarathonerMcDougall'sinsight into athleticcapacity hasrejuvenated myrunning attitude.I'm keeping up withyounger runnersmore effectively."
THE IRRESISTIBLE HENRY HOUSE features an orphan born in 1946 andraised as a "practice baby" by college coeds. Henry grows up lovedby many mothers but unable to love just one woman. This conflict spurs him totake a "journey of self-discovery" to New York, California, and swingin' London.Q: I understand the book is based on an actual child-rearing project.
A: Right. I stumbled on a website about Cornell University's home economics program, which ran from 1919 to the late '60s. The home page had a picture of this beguiling baby—I clicked on it, and up came all this history of "practice babies." The child-rearing methods were considered the latest and most scientific. "Gee," I wondered, "whatever happened to those kids?"
A: I was fascinated—and appalled. These babies were essentially footballs!
I can't imagine using a real infant as a teaching tool, especially knowing what it feels like to have those little arms around your neck.
Q: You were born in 1959. How did you re-create the years of Henry's youth? A: I read books, magazines, newspapers, and ads from the period. I even interviewed one of Walt Disney's original animators. The research was so much fun, it almost overtook me.
A: There's something to be said for passing the 50-year mark and feeling you've got finally some perspective. As I get older I'd like to think I can write with more confidence—and, I hope, with more insight. But I stress the "I hope" part, because who knows? —Diane Brown

Seeking life lessons there, Valby finds every act of neighborly grace offset by one of prideful ignorance or racism. When real lives clutter up the picture, "there's no such thing as an ideal community."

576. Spread the Wealth Around: The obligation to allow hired hands to eat
by Rabbi Jack AbramowitzWhen you enter your fellow's vineyard (to work), you may eat as many grapes as you like… (Deuteronomy 23:25)
If a worker is hired to deal with something edible that grows from the ground, he's allowed to snack from the produce, though there are some parameters. For example, a person who works with already-cut produce may only eat until he's completed his work; after that he's off-duty and no longer entitled to pick. On the other hand, one who works with still-attached produce may only eat after he's finished his work. For example, if his job is to pick grapes to fill a container, he must fill the container before he can pick any for himself. In order not to steal time from their employers, they should eat as they travel from row to row in the field, at which time they would not be picking anyway.
The reason for this mitzvah is to improve our characters through generosity. God has given the owners of the fields an abundance of good things; it doesn't behoove them to act stingy and begrudge their employees a snack.
This mitzvah only enables those who work with produce to snack. Those who work with food that doesn't grow from the ground (such as cheese), or those who guard produce (as opposed to, say, picking it) are not entitled to eat. Additionally, one may only eat the type of produce with which one is working, from the field in which one is working, so someone stomping grapes isn't entitled to eat corn.
This mitzvah applies in all times and places. It is discussed in the Talmud in tractate Baba Metzia (87a-89b, 91b-93b). It is codified in the Shulchan Aruch in Choshen Mishpat 337. This mitzvah is #201 of the 248 positive mitzvos in the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos and #65 of the 77 positive mitzvos that can be fulfilled today as listed in the Chofetz Chaim's Sefer HaMitzvos HaKatzar.

A recent story in the New York Times talks about some of the reasons physicians are frustrated with medical practice today. I've outlined some of the more concerning reasons below. Please, for your own well-being, consider these before you dig yourself too deep into the medical school hole.
1. Loss of Autonomy
"I'd write a prescription," he told me," and then insurance companies would put restrictions on almost every medication. I'd get a call: 'Drug not covered. Write a different prescription or get preauthorization.' If I ordered an M.R.I., I'd have to explain to a clerk why I wanted to do the test. I felt handcuffed. It was a big, big headache."
2. Payment Denials
"Thirty percent of my hospital admissions are being denied. There's a 45-day limit on the appeal. You don't bill in time, you lose everything."
3. "Informed" Patients
"Stories of patients armed with medical knowledge gleaned from the Internet demanding antibiotics for viral illnesses or M.R.I. scans for routine symptoms are rife in doctors' lounges."
4. Malpractice
"Malpractice worries also remain at the forefront of many physicians' minds, compounded by increasing liability premiums that have forced many into early retirement."
5. Decreased Realized Income
"Doctors are working harder and faster to maintain income, even as staff salaries and costs of living continue to increase. Some have resorted to selling herbs and vitamins retail out of their offices to make up for decreasing revenue. Others are limiting their practices just to patients who can pay out of pocket."
6. Declining Reimbursements
"A 10.6 percent cut in Medicare payments to physicians is scheduled to take effect on July 1. Further cuts are planned in coming years. Many doctors have told lawmakers that if the cuts go through, they will stop seeing Medicare patients. But reimbursement cuts are only a small part of doctors' woes today."
7. Naive Pre-Meds
"I was naïve, Saeed Siddiqui said. When I was a resident I thought it was enough to take good care of patients. But the real world is totally different."
The practice of medicine has made its way over the hill. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

October 5, 2010 Nigeria 2010 © John Heeneman/MSF
Earlier this year, lead poisoning was confirmed among children and adults living in five villages in Zamfara State in northwestern Nigeria. Since early June, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has been providing emergency treatment for children under five years of age and breast feeding mothers, the two groups most vulnerable to the affliction. The treatment is only effective if patients do not return to contaminated sites. Doing so would put them at risk of recontamination. However, remediation, or decontamination that involves the removal of affected soil, is a lengthy process that had to be halted in August due to heavy rains (remediation is being done by an environmental clean-up agency called Terragraphics). And the discovery of two more contaminated villages could indicate that Zamfara may be facing a much broader problem than originally thought. |

NCT cast to perform 'Miracle on 34th Street' beginning Friday
It hardly seems likely there are too many people today who haven't seen the classic 1947 film "Miracle on 34th Street."
The Oscar-winning film tells the story of Kris Kringle, who takes the job of department store Santa at the Macy's flagship store on 34th Street in New York City, but is later put on trial when he insists he is the real Santa Claus. Over the next 65 years, it has become a Christmas staple.
Friday night, the Newton Community Theatre will open its holiday production of a stage adaptation of "Miracle on 34th Street," taking the audience back to New York City of 1947. Sue Beukema of NCT said the play will create "a world free of commercialism, where love and generosity of spirit are their own rewards."

Hi my loves- I hope your week is off to a great start. Things are going pretty well here but I am definitely looking forward to the weekend. My friend Brandy is getting married and well- it's going to be the wedding of the year I just know it!
I don't want to just write a normal post when we all know that 11 years ago was when the twin towers were hit. I remember that day very well and how upsetting it was (and still is) to all of us. I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all the men and women women who work so hard every day for our lives to be wonderful and safe and take a second to remember all of those people who lost their lives. It's so sad. I was in college in philosophy class (hi Professor Wahman!) when it was happening and we all went to the student union and saw the towers fall on tv. I don't want to go into the whole thing because we know how upsetting it is- but I hope you took time today to tell the people you love that you actually do love them! (Call your parents they might still be up lol)
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. ~Maya Angelou
Some eats:
Field Greens with Polenta and a side of Chickpeas, Mushrooms, Onion and Pesto
This was super easy to make. I used this kind of organic polenta. It's actually already cooked so I just sliced a few pieces and heated it in a sauté pan. I diced the mushrooms and onion and used organic chickpeas (drained and rinsed)- threw it all together in a sauté pan as well with olive oil until they cooked down and then added my homemade pesto (I didn't use the vegan mozz I used real parmesan cheese). SO GOOD. And vegetarian.
It was sooooo good. And yeah not dairy free. But so worth it.
Anyways- I hope you're having a great week- living, breathing, eating, having fun, working hard, and being happy.
And before I forget- Charm City Yoga is having a Teacher Training Open House on October 6th. You can check out more about the Fall 200 hour here.
Most of you know already- but I am one of the teachers in the 200 and 500 hour trainings at Charm City Yoga so if you have any questions- even if you're just thinking about the trainings (summer intensive included)- please come to the open house!
It's my bed time- face planting into bed!
xoxo, C

I'm currently an AARMS postdoc at Dalhousie University working on, for lack of a better term, "discrete science".
During my PhD candidature, I studied the number of Latin squares/rectangles, and symmetries of Latin squares. Recently I have been expanding my interests into computer science and computational biology. One recent focal point is network motifs.
I am particularly fond of computational discrete mathematics. I often use:
- GAP (computer algebra system),
- R (for statistical computing),
- Prover9 (automated theorem prover),
- C or C++ (if speed is required).
Please visit my website for more info (e.g. a list of publications).
On this site:
- I block the [homework] tag. As much as I'd like to help, too many people are using this website to cheat on assignments and I don't want my name anywhere near this.
- I have no desire to "race" people for the first answer, so I tend to answer older questions.
- I tend to downvote and vote-to-close questions that appear to be copy/pasted without reference or effort. Please don't do this.
- I tend to upvote computational questions/answers. I encourage users to add more of these (as long as they have something to do with mathematics).
To draw graphs I use tikz (see also tikz examples), which is a rather extensive LaTeX package. I often write ad hoc scripts to prepare the tikz code more quickly and elegantly.

For those of you who don't bother to read my rather predictible words in the back of The Report each issue, here's a reprint of the December column, with a few minor details filled in.
My friends, it is with truly mixed emotions that I sit in front of my keybord and write this column. You may have already noticed, or perhaps not, that there is a new name on the masthead of The Report as the Membership Chairman. I am submitting my final column in this position, and am taking this opportunity to announce my retirement from the post. After almost seven years, I feel that it's time to move on, and allow someone else to have the same experiences I have been fortunate enough to enjoy. I'm looking forward to having a bit more free time to spend building or running boats, but am also more than a bit saddened by the fact that I won't have the contact with all of you that I have had in the past. I have come to consider myself truly blessed by the number of friends and aquaintences that this position has allowed me the opportunity to make. I have written for all these years that I believe that model submariners are among the finest folks on the planet, and I still feel that way every day.
I leave you in capable hands. The "new guy" is Don Osler, of Rochester, New York. Many of you wil recognize Don as one of the infamous "Rochester Gang", whose exploits are known far and wide as the guys who build neat boats, and travel to distant places to run and show them. I have no doubts that Don will take good care of you, and perform the membership duties to perfection.
I sincerely wish each and every one of you the very best. Thank you for the opportunity to have served. Fair seas, following winds, and I'll be seeing you soon.
Kind Regards,

Umberto D. [DVD]
Director : Vittorio De Sica
Screenplay : Cesare Zavattini
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1952
Stars : Carlo Battisti (Umberto Domenico Ferrari), Maria Pia Casilio (Maria), Lina Gennari (Landlady), Ileana Simova (Surprised Woman), Elena Rea (Sister), Memmo Carotenuto (Voice of Light), Alberto Albani Barbieri (Landlady's fiancé)
Film scholar and critic André Bazin captured perfectly the essence of Italian neorealism when he described it as "an ideal synthesis between the rigor of tragic necessity and the accidental fluidity of everyday reality." Ironically, he wrote these words in response to a screening at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival of Vittorio De Sica's Umberto D., which most historians date as the last neorealist film, given it commercial and critical failure in Italy.
De Sica was one of the most well-known of the neorealist directors, and his 1948 film Bicycle Thieves is often regarded as the pinnacle of that film movement. Yet, although it was harshly criticized and failed at the box office in 1952, Umberto D. has grown in stature to the point that it is now considered one of the best—if not the best—film of the period, one in which de Sica and his frequent screenwriter, Cesare Zavattini, captured the nuances and details—that is, the concrete reality—of a solitary man's life in an impersonal modern city.
The man in question is Umberto Domenico Ferrari (Carlo Battisti, a professor at the University of Florence in his only acting role), an aging, retired civil servant who cannot make ends meet on the meager pension offered to him by the government. Umberto is a fascinating character, and while on paper he sounds like a sentimental sad sack, he is much more complex. We sense his dignity and how deeply he fears being reduced to a beggar on the street, yet we can also see that he is sometimes self-absorbed and stubborn. His problems are dire, but it is clear that he bears some responsibility for them. He is, then, a flawed character, which is crucial because it is his recognizable flaws—in other words, his humanity—that keeps him from becoming a sentimental caricature.
When the film opens, he is taking part in a pensioners' protest in Rome, which is quickly broken up by a convoy of army vehicles that is the very definition of overkill (the tired old men being run off the street by Jeeps might be funny if it weren't so pathetic). While this could have been used to establish an overbearing political message on the film, De Sica and Zavattini instead use it to convey the simple economic realities of Umberto's life. He is a proud and upstanding, yet he has gotten himself into debt that he cannot quite dig out of. He is on the verge of being evicted from his single room by the apartment's cold, bleach-blonde landlady (Lina Gennari), who wants to make the entire floor into a love nest for her and her fiancé.
Umberto is not completely alone in life, though. He finds sympathy with Maria (Maria Pia Casilio, another first-time actor discovered by De Sica), the bright-eyed teenage maid who works in his apartment. Maria fears that she will be fired when the landlady finds out that she's pregnant. Umberto is sympathetic to her plight, as he never falls into high-minded judgment of her, even when she confesses that she doesn't know for sure who the father is—perhaps a man from Naples, perhaps one from Florence. Umberto and Maria share aloneness in the world, and their scenes together are sweet—they give the sense of hope that human beings can make a connection, even if it is imperfect.
The only other companion Umberto has is his little dog, Flike. Flike goes with him everywhere and is the closest thing he has to a soul mate. The film never forces the sentimentality of this relationship, though; instead, it allows us to see through Umberto and Flike's actions that they are companions who look out for each other. Flike is an economic burden to Umberto, yet when he is temporarily lost, Umberto is willing to do anything to get the dog back. The scene at the dog pound in which they are reunited ranks high on any list of moving dramatic scenes in a movie, not because it plucks maudlin strings, but because we have come to understand Umberto so deeply by that point that we feel what he feels, however silly it may seem.
Umberto D. moves smoothly between dramatic (sometimes borderline melodramatic) scenes and moments in which nothing of any narrative importance happens. The texture of everyday life in Rome in the early 1950s is as much the subject matter of the film as is Umberto's quest to acquire enough money to pay his back rent and avoid being evicted. One of the most intriguing scenes in the film simply follows Maria as she goes about her morning routine, lighting the stove and grinding coffee beans (pausing momentarily to touch tentatively her expanding belly). It's a scene that doesn't move the story forward an inch, but tells us much about Maria and all the young girls in the world who lead similar lives.
Aesthetically, Umberto D. is not as coarse as some neorealist films. It uses black-and-white photography, location shooting, and natural lighting, but De Sica's camera movements are fluid and often beautiful, betraying the handheld documentary style often associated with such films. The use of actual locations in Rome lends the film a feeling of authenticity, as do the naturalistic performances by everyone involved, most of whom were not professional actors.
Yet, what makes it all so effective is that none of these aesthetic aspects of the film intrude on the story's emotion, but rather come together to support and enhance it. As the story of a few days in one man's life, Umberto D. is a masterpiece of emotional intimacy and the possibilities of human compassion writ on a canvas of appreciable reality. It is a film in which not a single note feels false, and in today's market of commercially driven fantasy, that's something worth seeking out.
Umberto D.Criterion Collection DVD | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 |
Languages | Italian |
Subtitles | English |
Distributor | The Criterion Collection / Home Vision Entertainment |
Release Date | July 22, 2003 |
1.33:1 (Academy Aspect Ratio) Umberto D., presented in a new high-definition transfer taken from the 35mm fine-grain master positive, looks beautiful, especially after having been given a digital restoration. The black-and-white cinematography is crisp and well-detailed, with only a few shots that appear in any way soft or grainy, and virtually no dirt or scratches to speak of. Contrast is strong throughout, and black levels are deep and solid, with good shadow detail. | |
Italian Dolby Digital 1.0 Monaural The digitally restored original monaural soundtrack is clean and clear, with Alessandro Cicognini's orchestral score maintaining a good amount of depth and richness. | |
That's Life: Vittorio De Sica This is a 55-minute documentary made for Italian television in 2001 about the career of Vittorio De Sica. Spanning his early days as a popular actor through his success as a film director, this program features clips from most of his films, behind-the-scenes footage, and a lot of footage of De Sica himself, who is clearly very comfortable on-camera, discussing his works and interviewing many of his colleagues, including screenwriter Cesare Zavattini. Presented in 1.33:1. Interview with Maria Pia Casilio On Umberto D. Insert booklet with a new essay by film critic Stuart Klawans and an excerpt from Vittorio De Sica's book Miracle in Milan |

This week on the Behind the Headlines radio roundtable, the panel discusses the recent attempt to introduce a bill in the legislature that would transfer county school buildings to municipalities.
Memphis and Shelby County Schools might be on their way to consolidation, but sentiments on the matter are far from unified. The transition team and the unified school board charged with planning and executing school consolidation have met less than a handful of times, but already five of the six municipalities surrounding Memphis are thinking about creating their own municipal schools districts, rather than send their kids to a merged Shelby County Schools, and their concerns about consolidation may not be something the people captaining the merger can overcome, no matter what they do.
One of the main concerns about the merged Shelby County school district is its size. Ramon Cortines has been superintendent of school districts of all sizes, including New York City and Los Angeles—the two largest in the country. And he's got some advice.
On October 3rd, 1961, thirteen African-American children walked into formerly all-white schools in Memphis. Unlike other cities, Memphis schools desegregated without violence; and first-graders—not high-schoolers—broke the color line. There's a new documentary out about the event. Reverend Samuel "Billy" Kyles is in the movie. Kyles remembers bringing his daughter to the doors of Bruce Elementary School 50 years ago today.

When researching mapping platforms we discovered that a combination of Socrata and CrowdMap would address the majority of the features we were looking for.

Our idea was to create a web platform that would track the holistic lifecycle of a pet. The site allows for initial registration of the pet by either an owner or a shelter. The pet then has a unique identifier (think… a pet "social security number"). From there, the pet's profile information, as well as medical history, follows the pet throughout their life.

Oxford School Committee
OHS tardiness, local aid cuts on SC agenda
by Becky Harvey
Patriot Correspondent
OXFORD - The School Committee met Monday, December 10. First on the agenda was Guest speaker Kevin Wells, principal of Oxford High School, who brought up a major concern: the outrageous number of tardies which high school students at OHS are amassing. The school will be working on turning this issue around in the months to come.
Allen Himmelberger, Superintendent of Schools, gave accolades to the school. He has heard nothing but good things about the improvements made to the quality of education available in Oxford at the high school level. He congratulated Wells and Dave Nugent, the Assistant Principal, as well as the students. He is proud of the way in which students conduct themselves, though he jokingly said "tardies not withstanding."
Himmelberger also mentioned his 2nd "supper with the super" that was held at Clara Barton. He was very pleased with the response and feedback. He concluded with a plea to all Oxford drivers to exercise caution while driving. With all the winter conditions and distractions related to new technologies, he wants people to be extra careful to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Mr. Richard Mathieu, the business manager, discussed the inclusion of line items to cover funds for a resource officer, for contractual salaries where money had been reduced by reduction of title one grants, for substitute teaching pay and for keeping reading instruction on at the middle school. There was also discussion of an amount, $28,304, that would be kept as contingency monies for the next fiscal year. All the mentioned amounts were voted on at the special town meeting in October. Chairman Daniel Coonan called for a vote to approve the allocations and all present voted to approve.
Two of the town's buses did not pass inspection and were considered "unsalvageable." Mathieu suggested they be declared surplus and turned over to the town for auction. It was determined that there was no other option and therefore the motion was passed.
Coonan offered a motion stating that the board should write to state representatives in response to Governor Patrick's announcement that he is looking to make budgetary cuts that would affect Oxford Schools' bottom line. Due to the budget formula the school system uses, Oxford does receive state UGA (unrestricted Government Aid) monies. The catch with using this formula is that in years with mid-year reductions, there is the chance that the legislature can enact cuts that would take away funds the town counts on. Mathieu urged the board to contact legislators to refuse to enact any cuts. Coonan mentioned that cuts have affected the town in the past, while under former governor Romney. He stated that it had taken years for the town to recover. The motion passed without contest.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo has received a flu shot to urge people to get the inoculations during a particularly serious flu season.
After getting his shot at a press conference Thursday, Cuomo received a lollipop from state Health Commissioner Nirav Shah.
Shah says more than 19,000 flu cases have been reported this year, compared to just over 4,000 last year.
Shah said two children died from the flu in New York and it's not too late to get shots to protect against the disease.
Cuomo said the shot didn't hurt at all.

The term 'pupil voice' refers to ways of listening to the views of pupils and/or involving them in decision-making. You may also hear the expressions 'learner voice' or 'consulting pupils'.
A feature of effective leadership is engaging pupils as active participants in their education and in making a positive contribution to their school and local community.
Why involve children and young people
The Government is committed to the promotion and protection of children's rights, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It believes that children and young people should have opportunities to express their opinion in matters that affect their lives. Some of the benefits of involving children and young people in decision making are:
- It encourages pupils to become active participants in a democratic society - by holding youth parliaments and school councils which develop skills such as cooperation and communication and encourage them to take responsibility.
- It contributes to achievement and attainment - young people involved in participative work benefit in a range of different ways. Increased confidence, self-respect, competence and an improved sense of responsibility have all been reported by young people who contribute in school. Schools also report increased motivation and engagement with learning.
Expiry review date
This guidance will next be reviewed in September 2013.
Relevant legislation
- Under section 176 of the Education Act 2002 local authorities and schools are currently required to have regard to any guidance given by the Secretary of State (in relation to England) or the National Assembly for Wales (in relation to Wales) about consultation with pupils in connection with the taking of decisions which affect them.
This legislation is underpinned by the general principles of the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), - articles 2, 3, 6 and, in particular, article 12 which states the following:
1. Parties shall assure to the child who is capable of forming his or her own views the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child, the views of the child being given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child.
2. For this purpose, the child shall, in particular, be provided the opportunity to be heard in any judicial and administrative proceedings affecting the child, either directly, or through a representative or an appropriate body, in a manner consistent with the procedural rules of national law.'
The UNCRC has not been incorporated into national law, so there is no statutory duty to comply with it. However, the Government has reiterated its commitment to pay 'due regard' to the Convention when new policy is made and legislation proposed. Schools are strongly encouraged to pay due regard to the convention.
