Sarah Lane Accuses Natalie Portman, Black Swan of Body Double "Cover Up"by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Natalie Portman won an Oscar for role in Black Swan, but now the star's body double is claiming the actress was featured in the film far less than has been advertised.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Sarah Lane - an American Ballet Theatre soloist who perfected many of the movie's complicated dance sequences - said: "Of the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie. All the other shots are me."
Lane spoke out in response to comments a couple days earlier by Portman's fiance, choreographer Benjamin Millepied. He told the L.A. Times that "85 percent of that movie is Natalie."
However, Lane says that only applies to shots which are "just her face with arms... that doesn't show the actual dancing."
Saying she's the victim of a "cover up," Lane adds that Black Swan producer Ari Handel told her to remain quiet about these facts, yet she's going on record now because "it is demeaning to the profession... I've been doing this for 22 years... Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you're a movie star?"UPDATE: The filmmakers have released a statement that reads:
"We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film."
I never heard of a body double getting an award for acting. Sarah needs to think about what she is doing if she wants to continue in Hollywood. Her name is listed in the credits along with a lot of other faceless people who are not crying foul.
This was a great movie and Natalies acting was stellar. However, she did not do the majority of the dancing, which in fact was a huge part of the movie and contributed to why it was so good. It wasnt just the characters, the storyline, the acting, the production aesthetics; but all those things PLUS the dancing is what made it an awesome movie. Ms Lane and her proffesion did not receive their due props and she was blatantly disrespected. The studio did attempt to spin public opinion to believe that a ballerina could be created in 1 year. Bull**** ! The sad reality is, Ms. Lane will never work in hollywood again and why, because she chose to stick up for herself and her art form. Yes, Miss Lane KNEW what she signed up for. However, if Natalie truly didnt do the majority of the dancing, shouldnt the studio be transparent about that fact, YES!!!!
Natalie won the oscar for acting, not dancing... and she was good. The story was very good and I just don't realy remember the dancing part...!!!
Mastery of ballet is on an entirely different level of accomplishment. This dancer is what an Olympic athlete is in their sport -- elite, world-class. How do you justify a film credit as "hand model" for her or saying she "just did the footwork" when dancing is known to be a full bobody art form where choreography centers on the feet and their movement. She deserved more respect for the credibility her dancing lent to Portman's portrayal of a ballerina. I side with Sarah Lane and resent the movie makers and marketers for presenting Portman'Zs head on an the body of one of best dancers in the world while spinning the tale of Portman's monklike dedevotion to dance for a year allowed her to do what is not humanly possible in that timeframe. They went too far to promote Portman for the Oscar.
Here is somebody who wants to make it in Hollywood and does not care how she does it. Does she not know that "body double" is just that and nothing more. She is not an actress and never will be. It is sad that she is such a hateful person by trying to take Natalie's hard work away from her. All they wanted from Sarah is her legs and arms and nothing more. If she was an actress, they would have used her face as well and she would have been given the part of the Black Swan. Well, she has really cooked her goose now because I can't see anybody using her as a body double again because of her big mouth and spitefulness. I know quite a few body double people and they are always so honoured to be just that for various actors. Sarah has just also shown everybody that she has no class whatsoever. She should try remembering who actually won the "OSCAR".
Dancing or no dancing, she was paid to be a body double and do the scenes that Natalie couldn't do. End of story. Take your money and shut your trap, or don't do it at all if you're not happy with the set up. Im sure the 20 years of training has paid off for Ms Lane and that she is very talented, but it wasn't her name that got people in to the cinema, it wasn't her doing the acting and if she wanted smoke blown up her ass, then probably a Ballet is the place to get that done. Hollywood baby, you just gotta be nuts!
She was a body double! Since when do body doubles recieve such praises?? I think it would have been nice to see someone admire her hard work...but to me she is selfishly taking away from Natalies praise as well as her own hard work. She should shut her mouth and realize she included herself in a Hollywood movie...what did she expect??
this is really funnny for me and really did not heard the thank speach of portman but i guess she thank lane, i n the other hand she knew that she was a double not an actress so she has to be in the back and saty there is all about the actress not about the double, imagine tahta all the double get revenge LOL it will be very funnny
Marine Jahan, anyone?
Seems to me that Natalie's Oscar has a scratch, it's scrap.

Naturally, he doesn't like this plan.
"Like hell you will!" he yells. "I was bein polite by lettin you finish your coffee! You can't just fuckin invite yourself to stay over!"
"Can; did."
"Listen, Strider. I got violent impulses, you know that. And you gotta sleep sometime."
"I'm a light sleeper and you're a cripple. Plus you're not really mad at me."
"Goddamnit, wipe that smug fuckin smirk off your face! I'm tellin you to get out! This is my place!" His voice cracks. "Even if you ruined it. Even if I gotta leave it."
"Yeah, that's another reason I'm staying. Because that's a USDA choice terrible idea and I reckon I should stick around until you're over it."
"Stop!" he wails. "Stop doing me favors!" He gives a hard, angry sniff and shoves the back of his hand across his eyes. "I'm so fuckin sick a people who don't like me doin shit for me outta a sense a duty! Just so they won't feel like a asshole! You think I don't know it's got nothin to do with me or what I want? An if I don't like it I'm ungrateful, an if I do like it I'm clingy! I can't be around people, so will you please, please leave me the fuck alone?"
That's an interesting spin he's putting on the situation. You wonder if that's how it really looks to him, or if the words just came out that way. Not that either possibility would change your answer, which is, "Nope."
He gives a frustrated yell, mopping at his face with his sleeve, and tries to get up. It's a struggle, but he seems determined; when it's clear he's going to walk on that leg if you don't stop him, you grab him by the back of the collar and haul him firmly back down. He flails a wild fist at you, but of course it doesn't connect. You'd have to be a lot tireder than this for his tantrum-fu to be a hazard.
"Quit it, you spaz," you say gently. "I don't dislike you. We're acquaintances. That's a thing people can be. You could use a hand. It's hot as fuck in Houston and I don't feel like going back until I'm done buying the beach house. Win-win. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you: I'm buying your house."
He's gone past fury and pain now into a sort of calm bewilderment. "What?"
"Yeah, I swung by there to check on you and saw it was for sale."
"It's a nice place. Me and Bro have been thinking of getting out of the urban heat bubble for a while now."
"No, I… why did you check on me? Why did you come here? Why are you… how did… I don't understand."
You shrug. "Equius asked me to check on you. It bothered him that one of us missed the reunion. I reckon it would've bugged him no matter who it was. You vanishing like that made me curious, and since I fell in love with that house and decided to buy it, I asked my money guy to see if he could get the seller's new address. Where you turned up made me even more curious, and the air conditioning was chugging nonstop just to get the apartment down to 80, Bro was taking cold showers like once an hour, it was just fucking ridiculous. So I thought to myself, you know where it would be really nice to be right now? The north shore of Lake Superior. I bet it's like, sweater weather up there." You throw back the last gulp of your coffee. "And I like driving. So here I am."
He spreads his hands helplessly. "So this is all just… spur a the moment? You came here on a whim?"
"And you're staying on a whim?"
"You took me to the hospital on —"
"Nah, that was more like, holy shit what the fuck is wrong with you walking around flapping open like a deli ham on display, let's get some stitches in that motherfucker stat. Seriously, man, you are so neurotic."
He's quiet for a while. He actually seems to be thinking about it. Eventually he picks up his coffee, takes a drink, and wrinkles his nose. "It's cold."
"Own fault. Drink it anyway."
He drinks it anyway.

I love the rug, color, quality etc. The wrinkes are taking a very long time to even out. I don't know if it from the wrapping, rolling ,when it was sent. I am hoping they will be out soon. It has already been 1 month.
Colors true to picture. Thick, lush pile. Very nice.
After going to many stores to find a dark red runner I was ordering one online from Lowes. The pop up up for Overstocks came on screen featuring this runner. I decided to order 2 and I am very pleased. They are very plush, feel great to walk on and the colors are very vibrant. I have received many compliments on them in the week that I have had them. They were 1/2 the price of the ones I was going to order and they arrived in 2 days.
The rug is not only a very nice rug, it is an exceptional rug for the money! If I had more places to put them I would buy more! You really can't lose with this purchase and ordering on Overstock.com, the shipping alone is amazing; if you decide to be a member you have addtional savings that really add up in a hurry. The rug is exactly what I was hoping for ... do yourself a favor and buy one/some!
I figured for what it cost and it was going in an apartment hallway, how can you go wrong. Well, I can tell you it's better than I thought. Very comfortable to walk on, vibrant colors and perfect for an apartment hallway.It's not a hand made run, but I wasn't looking for one, this time. I received compliments about the runner and asked why I would put such an expensive runner in a hallway. All I can say is thank you again Overstock. You did it again!

The French new left and the Cuban revolution 1959-1971: parallel histories?
ARTARAZ, KEPA and Luyckx, K. (2009) The French new left and the Cuban revolution 1959-1971: parallel histories? Modern & Contemporary France, 17 (1). pp. 67-82. ISSN 0963-9489
This article revisits the reception given to the Cuban Revolution by the French New Left in the 1960s. It does so by describing the dominant currents of the French New Left and the various attractions that the Revolution held in it throughout the decade. The article argues that the reasons for the New Left's continuing interest in Cuba changed during the 1960s in ways that mimicked Cuba's own development. In addition, the article argues that two key concepts dominated the New Left's interest in Cuba. The first was the issue of the Third World, which Cuba represented, whereas the second was the question of the intellectual. The eventual distancing of the French New Left from Cuba was compounded by failure to find a resolution to these definitions.

What in the world is going on at Coachella? Rich celebrities are dressing like they can't afford full pant legs and Kristen Stewart and Liberty Ross are standing next to each other. And now Julianne Hough, who recently split from aged possible-robot Ryan Seacrest, is flirting with a man more than a year younger than her. What is this madness? More
So I think we've officially lost Joe Jonas, everyone; he's gone rogue. He put a human-shaped pillow under his covers this morning and sneaked out of his house to go on Ryan Seacrest's radio show today and asserted that 'pom poms' — you know, the name of their new single and their entire album — is a term for boobs. More
Miley Cyrus returned from the land of Unplanned Weddings today to fully explain that bizarre unicorn onesie twerking incident from last week. We may not know whether she and Liam Hemsworth are still engaged or whether or not she had lunch with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas today, but by god I will have some answers in this twerking scandal. More
"A robot?" Julianne wondered aloud, "that definitely explains the perfectly coiffed hair and the perfectly white teeth." More
First Miley and Liam and now Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough?! If an unruly former Disney star and a stable, sexy Australian can't make it work, and The World's Tiniest Man Who Pretty Much Runs Everything On Radio and Television can't make it work with a Dancing With the Stars cast member, then this isn't the kind of world I want to be a part of.

While I gave up on that dream because I sound like a dying dinosaur when I attempt to sing, I have never given up on American Idol. Have I wanted to? Oh.my.god. Yes. There have been some TERRIBLE seasons of that show, and once the awful auditions are over, what's the point? Well, I'll tell you right now. More
Julianne Hough danced so hard at the Golden Globes after party last night, that she literally danced herself out of her dress…and into a wardrobe malfunction. More
You're a busy person, we get it. You don't have time to watch the five and a half hours of red carpet coverage spanning fifteen television stations in advance of the 70th Annual Golden Globes tonight. So here's what we did. We put together a little cliff notes edition for you of the most notable happenings on ye old carpet of red this evening. Hold onto your sequin clutches your mermaid gowns and come along with me.

It's the end of the year, and why be self-reflective and think about what I did this year when I could sort out my feelings about Ryan Seacrest? More

Pro-tec Ace Skate SXP Helmet
? Share a...
Man up and wear a damn helmet.
Alma Henderson
I'll be honest, I resisted at first, buying and wearing this to appease my wife. Then I thought "don't be an idiot, wear a f-ing helmet." If you're going to protect your head this is a good tool for the job. It's comfortable and doesn't get too hot. I still feel a little like a bobblehead, but at least my dome is protected.
Get it...got it...good.
Daniel Wynkoop
I dig it...I have the matte black finish. Super comfy and doesn't get hot. Some people think it's lame to wear a helmet, but I try to set a good example for my kids...I've seen bad things happen that could have been avoided had a helmet been worn.
Let the haters f*ck up their melons...while your still skatin' they'll still be hatin'....from a hospital bed.

Top Ten Tips
Clothes Washer/Dryer
Water Heater
Clothes Washer/Dryer
Clothes Washer
Select the water level to match the load size, or wash only full loads. Add detergent under spray as washer is filling to best circulate the detergent.
Follow detergent instructions carefully. Oversudsing actually hampers effective washing action and may require more energy in the form of extra rinses.
Use short cycles for lightly soiled and delicate clothes.
Always push the timer in before changing cycles. This prevents arcing of timer contacts and timer failure.
Add fabric softener only during final rinse, and never directly on clothing. It can cause grease-like spots.
Clothers Dryer
Clean the lint filter after every load.
Dry clothes in consecutive loads. Letting the machine cool down between loads wastes energy.
Ease ironing chores and conserve energy by removing clothes from the dryer as soon as possible after the cycle completes and before wrinkles have time to set. Clothes that are promptly folded or placed on hangers often need little or no ironing.
Keep the outside exhaust vent of your clothes dryer clean. A clogged exhaust lengthens drying time.
Most energy used by a dishwasher is for heating water; therefore, loading a dishwasher fully and properly before operating it can save energy.
Landscaping - Windbreaks
Strategically landscaping a home to create and provide windbreaks can have a significant effect in lowering winter heating costs. The idea is to block or reduce the speed of wind that reaches your home.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
From: silvia ghezzi <ghezzi_silvia () yahoo de>
Talking about firewalls, I have experience only with
Gauntlet, and I was not really happy with it.
It was too much complicated to understand and to be
used and here was a real lack of support.
Now I have been using PIX for a couple of months, and
I am happy.
But I still had to fight with my management (which is
not really IT oriented). Since we have a full Windows
2000 environment with Windows experienced people, they
made pressure to have MS ISA server as a firewall.
Right now I could got PIX for our remote office, but
they are still thinking to go for ISa for oher future
remote offices.
I have only a little experience on ISA, so I cannot
judge. but I still consider it not as a firewall but
as a HTTP proxy.
Is there someone more into it than me, that can tell
me about the advantags and/or disadvantages of having
ISA as a firewall?

A Magic Disaster?
8/31/12 in MLB | This_is_Rick | 265 respect
Yet, as the Dodgers find themselves slipping in the west and, even worse, watching the Giants gain momentum - when everyone, including me, wrote them off like Melky and his website - the confusion of the trade and non-chemistry following has got the Dodgers closing all doors, literally. The team is holding a closed-door meeting today to discuss what the H-E-double-hockey-stick is happening in Chavez Ravine.
Maybe it's to ask players to chip in to cover expenses?
Whatever the reason, the Big Blue's, Big Brass may have just gotten their first lesson in MLB ownership - Don't make stupid purchases.
A little league prospect could be looked as an upgrade over James Loney so, no huge argument, the idea of landing Adrian Gonzalez was definitely a huge plus. But did the purchase of one item really need to include the complete set? No. Beckett is nothing more than a head-case with a dropping fastball - right over the heart of the plate - and no matter what uniform he has on, the team he plays for get's no real benefit. Yes, the injury to Billingsley does require another pitcher to step into the rotation, making the Beckett deal look credible to the Dodgers front office, but there is another lesson to be swallowed - Pay attention Washington - One pitcher does not make that big of a difference when it comes to wins and losses.
The year is not 1895, it's 2012. Pitchers do not chuck every game - this day and age they are lucky to go every-five. So the idea of one pitcher impacting a major portion of a teams record, especially during a limited time like Beckett has with the Dodgers, is not strong decision making. It's not.
The chemistry of the team down the stretch, mixed with finding ways to win, is what gets playoff spots. As it stands, the Dodgers may be losing that chemistry, thus losing the west, perhaps even a Wild Card spot. And what is to blame? No person from the Dodgers would be ignorant enough to say it - you don't trash the owners new Ferrari when he paid 200-million for it - but the Red Sox hand-me-downs are beginning to split at the seams.
In the technology-age it would be nutty to think that Los Angeles wasn't watching some sort of sports show, somewhere, explaining the issues with any and all Sox players this season. The information was there, and they still took the bait. Signed, sealed and delivered..stamped with a big-red bow. Unknown to the Dodgers, that red bow was actually a red-flag the Red Sox were waiving no more than one-day prior to the trade.
Now, while the Giants plant their stake in the West, the Dodgers find themselves behind closed doors, attempting to sew the team's chemistry back to new - And their finger's hurt (Happy Gilmore..See It).
Best wishes!

Pennsylvania lawmakers pass budget but not pension reform
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania- (Reuters) - Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett signed a nearly $28.4 billion budget for fiscal 2014, which starts on Monday, but lawmakers declined to take action Sunday on a controversial public pension bill until fall.
The inaction on Corbett's plan to reduce the state's $47 billion-and-growing public pension shortfall is expected to lead to credit rating downgrades and higher borrowing costs.
A report by Moody's Investors Service last week ranked Pennsylvania the eighth-worst among all U.S. states as measured by pension liabilities to revenues, while the so-called yield spread over triple-A-rated bonds paid on Pennsylvania bonds rose about a third since January.
Moody's rates Pennsylvania at Aa2 with a stable outlook. Fitch Ratings said in April that it would decide whether to cut its AA-plus rating on Pennsylvania after reviewing the budget enacted for fiscal 2014.
The legislature also did not pass Corbett's proposals to privatize state-run liquor stores and hike taxes and fees to fund a $2 billion transportation package, two items that lawmakers are also expected to reconsider in the fall.
For Corbett, a Republican up for re-election in 2014 who has trailed potential Democratic challengers in recent polls, the apparent failure of his three-pronged agenda in a legislature led by his own party is a test of his leadership.
"We made progress on all these things. Things are grinding ahead, just couldn't pull them all together," House Speaker Sam Smith told the Pennsylvania Independent.
The 111-92 budget vote in the Pennsylvania House ended three hours before the beginning of the new fiscal year.
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai called it a "compassionate budget" that was responsible to both taxpayers and those who receive state funding.
The budget for fiscal 2014 is a 2.3 percent, or $645 million, increase over the current year's spending plan. It was also $64 million less than Corbett proposed in February.

text: On September 14, 2002, approximately 1130 mountain daylight time, a Stinson L-5E, N8369H, was substantially damaged when it collided with terrain following a hard landing at Spanish Fork-Springville Airport, Spanish Fork, Utah. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed for the personal flight being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91. The flight originated approximately 1040 from Nephi Municipal Airport, Nephi, Utah.According to the pilot's accident report and a previous telephone conversation, the airplane landed hard and bounced. The pilot said he added power. When the airplane touched down, "the nose had drifted to the right" and the airplane departed the runway. "I don't believe I applied sufficient rudder to offset the p-factor of the added power," the pilot wrote. The left main landing gear dropped into a hole and broke off. The airplane fell to the ground, damaging the outboard portion of the left wing spar and wing tip. The wooden prop was shattered, the firewall was wrinkled, and the carburetor and exhaust system were damaged.

I have one and a half story building (one story in the front/two story in the back). The router and two main computers (hard wired) are upstairs. I have three laptops that are wireless.Here is the problem: I have a desktop computer that is in the farthest part of the front of the house in the one story section. The one story section is older and is built out of concrete walls (inside and outside walls). Therefore, I cannot get an adequate signal to the desktop with the WiFi.I have read that you cannot run Cat5 cables outside which is the easiest way because the first floor does not have any attic space (it is a flat roof).Would an antenna booster work or do I need another router connected to the first?
use powerline networking products to get around this issue then ethernet / wireless afterwords
I just did one this weekend just like yours. They had a split level with concrete walls on the lower level. The extensive re-bar stopped all their attempts at multiple wifi applications and boosters. Nothing seemed to work.We ended up running cat. 5 from the Cogeco modem and router at the opposite side of the house.It took half a day hundreds of dollars but we were lucky and found a good route with no wire showing.A speed test in the new office yielded 7.8 meg. There is cat.5 outdoor available. I have some on the truck but I don't know where you can get it.
You Can buy Cat 5 outdoor one in Home Depot etc .. Yes they have it for sure ...I don't see why you can't have wifi ... in Concrete building .. Just buy good antenna ... I mean good one not those sticks from FS or BB they are good for small office ... You have some nice Yagi, Panel antenna on Ebay .. or you can do some BiQuad on your own .. And I Guarantee that you will have enough signal»shop.ebay.ca/?_from=R40&_trksid=···tegories
Its very expensive but a product called Radiax cable can also be used depending on the needs of the building.The cable itself is the antenna.Its used for cell networks to secure bank area's for communications of all sorts.1 line can be used to service an entire floor of a condo.»www.antennasystems.com/Radiax.htmledited with another link.»awapps.commscope.com/catalog/and···log.aspxThis was also posted to catch some else's eye.
You can install another wireless router *just* on the other side of the wall and use it as a repeater, if you want to stick with all wireless. Some routers have this feature built into the firmware (for some reason 3com comes to mind). Or, you can use a router with a linux-compatible chipset:»www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Un···Repeater
the issue with 3com is that they are very $$$, and you wont get a return on your investment. off the shelf routers tend to have more updates then 3com do....but of course you can always make the argument that 3coms are more stable yadda yadda..., personally i use 3coms for my own networks but if i was to build it for someone i wouldn't go that route.
I was thinking about outside and repeater ... But using repeater mode is not goof for performance ..High Gain antennas is the way to go, or just hardwired ..Lighting and Cat 5 .... sure .. as someone said you can have it grounded ...
Make the outside cable run - reliability and speed will be unmatched, imo.
Aim the router through a nearby window.In my experience concrete stops wifi pretty much in its tracks, same with metal.Just drill a hole and run some cat5e (Outdoor preferably if you don't want to have to replace it in 5 years)
Thanks for the great ideas!! Lightning is a major concern. I'm think of going with the D-Link using the electrical outlets. It seems easiest and I can also add the xbox 360 to it (which is currently wireless).Great ideas! Thanks so much!
You do not have to ground or worry about lightening on any wiring attached to your house.Over the span of decades I have run literally miles and miles and never had a problem.The outdoor cat.5 I have on the truck has a jacket that is tougher than BSW or drop so there are no problems running it outside.
I wouldn't worry too much about lightning with an ethernet cable on the side of a building. Maybe if you put it on the roof and had exposed copper...
Got some tin fail /tape glue and cardboard?Well you can boast you signal for free and it works shockingly well.»www.freeantennas.com/projects/te···dex.htmlI kid you not its so simple you would think naw but it works very well.

With the NFL preseason a month away, KC Kingdom wants to prepare everyone for the 2014 season by posting player profiles until week one kickoff. Today's featured player is tight end Travis Kelce.
How did Travis Kelce become a Kansas City Chief?
Kelce attended college at Cincinnati and was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 draft. Many fans were excited by the selection, as Kelce had killer stats in college and could only add explosiveness to Kansas City's offense.
The Chiefs had acquired Anthony Fasano in free agency so it seemed apparent that he and Kelce would be the two main tight ends in the offense. The football gods had other plans however.
2013 stats
Um… There weren't any. Kelce had two receptions in the preseason before getting injured and spending the entire 2013 season on injured reserve. Third string tight end Sean McGrath stepped up in Kelce and Anthony Fasano's absences, which isn't what Chiefs fans had in mind upon drafting the young tight end.
I believe in Travis Kelce. I recently did a piece on Kansas City players going into their second year and I had nice things to say about Kelce. He's a big dude and a hell of a competitor and I think 2014 will bring out the fierce side of him that people didn't get to see last season.
Kelce was drafted to be a dominating force on the offensive side of the ball and I'm excited to see him fulfill that role this season. McGrath did a good job stepping into the starting tight end role, but it'll be nice to finally see Kelce out on that field making plays.
For all of our offensive player profiles, just click here.
What do you expect from Travis Kelce this season? Leave your comments below, follow us on Twitter, and Like us on Facebook!

Gross domestic product. Health insurance. Soaring energy prices. Major economic issues dominate today's news, but how do these issues impact the average citizen? This primer in 21st-century economics for the non-economist surveys today's most urgent economic issues that affect both global events and our everyday lives.
You'll learn what economics has to say about making the decisions - big or small - that affect our daily lives: What factors come into play when you're deciding whether to buy this car or that one, or even commute by bus? Mow the lawn or take a nap? Grill a burger with a bubbling slice of cheese or eat a simple salad? And you'll see how this same kind of analysis applies to the major issues of public policy, where the needs and wants of a nation and its people - whether financial security, safety from terrorism, or even an available kidney for someone desperately waiting on a transplant list - involve tradeoffs, which are sometimes obvious and sometimes not.
Whether dealing with the traditional sorts of topics most of us are used to seeing in an economics course - Social Security, inflation, unemployment, immigration, taxation, and the like - or issues perhaps surprising, such as gambling, major sports franchises, and even overeating, these 36 lectures offer a steady flow of insights about public policy and the American economy.
By showing the full range of economic factors at work, this course can help you become an even more insightful judge of policy recommendations and of the leaders and policy makers who advocate them. And you may well learn to supplement your own analyses as you make the real-life economic choices each of us faces every day, becoming an even wiser consumer and manager of your own economic future.

"Economic issues at the brink of the fall"
A decent review of economic issues today but hard to get past the datedness of this being a lecture from 2007 on economics on the brink of the fall. The lecturer talks about how rock solid the economy was felt to be and heralded 10 years of solid growth ahead as seen by a survey of top Economists. Proof of how much 20/20 hindsight is bunk.

Welcome to CPEE
The Centre for Pavement Engineering Education Inc. (CPEE) is an accredited private provider of higher education that specialises in courses servicing the road and pavement sector. With programs ranging from intensive one day short courses through to postgraduate Masters level awards, CPEE aims to meet the needs of someone new to the industry as well as the established practicing professional.
CPEE's strong links to University and industry partners provide courses that are a unique mix of academic learning combined with real world practical experience.
MAJOR CONSTRUCTION NEWS – Challenge & Opportunity for Roads Engineers.
Recent announcements are welcomed for major funding commitments of extensive road construction projects, in what appears to be a softening period ahead in overall construction activity. These projects will provide a great challenge for engineers, project managers and infrastructure asset managers to show their worth as employment opportunities open up in specialist areas. Those with the CPEE specialist qualifications and experience will see themselves well placed to take advantage of likely challenging openings.
MECHANISTIC PAVEMENT DESIGN – Faster and Better with CIRCLY 6.0
The CIRCLY computer aided design program is used within the CPEE Postgraduate studies unit "Pavement Design", and is the basis of the CPEE short course titled "Mechanistic Pavement Design-CIRCLY. The introduction of the just released CIRCLY 6.0 is a bonus for students and delegates alike.
Dr Leigh Wardle, presenter of the CPEE short course and author of the CIRCLY program, advises that CIRCLY 6.0 is a powerful user friendly, Windows-based package that automates mechanistic pavement design and analysis. "This Australian designed system has been in regular use world-wide for more than two decades proving its worth in thousands of design applications. Since 1987 it has formed an integral part of the Austroads Pavement Design Guide, the standard for road design in Australian and New Zealand."
After a review of the 800+ individual delegate feedback froms received last year from all courses held last year, we have noted, among the many plaudits, areas for improvement and content enhancement. The 2014 courses will reflect the positive changes with the intention to again provide what delegates most want.
Water Essentials Unit launched
Semester 2 has seen the introduction of a new elective within the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Professional Honours in Infrastructure Asset Management) program. The introduction of a new unit "Water Essentials: The Resource, Water Quality and the Environment," has added and further extend the variety of electives available.
With an MoU in place with the Australian Water Association (AWA), this is the first output of a cooperative effort to provide a quality postgraduate unit specifically for those with an interest in/desire for, up-to-date knowledge and understanding of water as a resource, of water quality, and its role in the environment, as significant determinants of how that resource is managed. Information and a grounding in these elements determine how management is structured and practiced.
Local government and consultants were keen to have an optional non-pavements elective and this unit is welcomed by those seeking a broader perspective into infrastructure asset management.
Good News on Self Education Expenses
Although the announcement was back in July last year, it is worth reminding of the Federal Treasurer Chris Bowen's announcement that the government will defer the introduction of its proposed $2000 cap on self-education expenses until July 2015.
Under strong lobbying from the professional societies and educational bodies,
New Chief Executive for AAPA
AAPA Chairman Tony Aloisio has announced the appointment of Mr Michael Caltabiano as Chief Executive of AAPA, commencing 28 January 2014. He advised that Mr Caltabiano brings to the role of Chief Executive extensive experience in the bituminous surfacing industry, and has had many years of direct contact and involvement with AAPA, and is well known to the Members.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
As a parent this school is not the one to best to put your child in.The staff doesn't care about the children they only care about covering up on how well they do on test scores.The teachers and principal are letting the kids get away from not wearing their uniforms also.
I removed my child from this school. He has special needs and was not getting what was rewuired based on his IEP. It appeared that if the students didn't make the "school numbers" they were not a priority. Also, it was like the school tried to hide those students from the general population didn't want them to be seen. Very thankful for mom's intuition and be proactive in removing my son. Parents know your rights you do have options.
I am the parent of a 2nd grader. The principal and staff are wonderful. I love Thurgood Marshall.
The teachers in this school haven t been communicating, informing or honest with the parents how students are being taught in their child's classroom with the new Common Core Curriculum. It's not until we advocate for our child's progress that we receive a response and they evade the Common Core Curriculum. Are the Thurgodd Marshall Elementary teachers conducting their own independent Common Core Curriculum in their classroom? What evidence do we have that they are teaching is state standards in our child's classroom? We have been requesting communication either through e-mails, parent teacher conferences either through the principal and teacher and all we receive is pass the buck from principal to teacher. We are working parents and we don t have the opportunity to observe our teachers in the classrooms. The perception is either the student either gets it or they don't with the new curriculum in this school. If the student doesn't grasp the concept of the RIGOR curriculum the student will be impacted once again at the end of the year assessment test!
Teaching is great ! The school itself is so unorganized and does not like to give parents notice of special events (Example: Children's award ceremonies, Programs your children are suppose to be a part of. They earn awards but for some reason they are out of them when it is time for the children to receive them so they don't get awards certificates.) When picking up car riders it's the worst I've ever seen at any school 75% of the time they leave it up to one person to make sure it goes smoothly parents are coming in through the exit lanes and always getting out of the cars to pick up their children and block up the doors to me it is a hazard. You shouldn't have to wait in a line for 30 mins or longer just to get your child when you are close to the front of the line! The dismissal is so very unorganized and hopefully soon they will fix that problem! Parent involvement would probably be more if they were giving enough notice of events occurring at the school!
The head principle at this school needs to be retrained on communication skills. My kids have been at this school for 4yrs and out of those 4 years when walking the hallways with my child she has never opened her mouth to even speak one time. I went to see her one day and had to write my reason on paper for the visit, so they could submit it to her.Until this day she never contacted me about my child. If I could sell my house tomorow just to get my kids out of this millitary school I would it is not proffessional at all.Some of the teachers are focused more on discipline rather teaching. They talk to the kids any type of way until a parent walks up on them. My children used to be excited about going to school but have changed drastically as if they are no longer intrested. It's as if some of the teachers have taken on the attitude of their leader.The good teachers have all run away. This schools needs a new leader is more about the children rather than someone who is more concenred with themselves.
Ms. Brown is a seasoned (in knowledge) teacher who loves the arts and makes sure your child learn. She's firm, but fair. Ms Brown is a sweet heart. Her assistant Mrs. Huff is good, but a lot times I felt her stress made her frown ALOT. I pray for the teachers b/c they endure not only our children but parents and administrative staff. Ms. Brown is very knowledgeable and I appreciate her nuturing spirit and my child has truly developed K' skills and more. Ms. Brown is a cool teacher to have.... Thank u Ms. Brown!
Parents raised concerns with the respect of wanting absolute truth. Instead we were treated like mushrooms left in the dark and fed manueaur. The Parent Teacher Organization lacks leadership and communication. The parents do not have a voice. The principal has made all decisions how funds are allocated and spent. I say rename the organization to the Principal Teacher Organization. At the first and last P.T.O meeting there was a discussion about a playground at the tune of $60,000. Why not invest the money back into our teachers and students. Parents questioned the student school supply list. The BOE kindergarten curriculum states all materials and supplies are provided. Marshall parents were given a list. The principal stated the supply list at Wal-Mart is just for reference. She had no idea teachers where also passing out a list. Parents don t need a reference as to keep tissue paper, copy paper, Lysol and hand-sanitizer in the home. So arrogantly she stated that there s over $119,000 in her Title IV account she didn t need parents to purchase school supplies. Obviously funds were not available prior to the beginning of the school year. That s usury.
I visited Thurgood Marshall Elem. this week and was shocked that instead of the first week of school being a positive experience that teachers had already resorted to using humiliation, demeaning language, and ridicule toward students. It is just awful to see that some of the teachers are down right insensitive and should work as prison guards instead of molding the minds and futures of our precious commodities: children. I suggest that the principal hold workshops on professionalism, proper teacher-student communication as a strategy to address these inappropriate behaviors that can be damaging to our children. In fact, the principal needs to model acceptable behaviors so these educated state employees can imitate. When in doubt, ask yourself these questions: "Was my comment necessary?" "Was it professional?"
Good staff, nice environment, due care of students, etc makes us feel safe about our students and their skills to get promoted in proper way.
This was my child first year there. I was very expressed with Ms. Odom ( a new kindergarten teacher). For this to be Ms. Odom first year, I think that she did an excellent job with my child. She was very informative and organized. Let me not forget to give her Assistant Ms. Favors her props too. Wonderful Job! The overall school did a wonderful job with recognizing their students for their acccomplishments.
I thought when I enrolled my child at Marshall Elementary that it was an excellent school. I spoke to several parents and they had nothing but good things to say about Marshall. I hate to think what schools they were using in comparison! A many Marshall faculty members yell at the kids in class, in the cafeteria and hallways, and they don't seem to really like children at all. A teacher with a nasty attitude attempted to speak tersely as she approached me from behind and quickly apologized because she thought I was one of the students! Also, I believe that good teachers should do all they can to enrich young students' lives, not just throw homework/classwork at them and say, 'good luck figuring it out.' There are decent teachers there but they need to create a mentoring program for new instructors and hold these professionals accountable for underperformance of bright students.
Marshall has the ability to be a great school but lacks leadership that involves teacher support program that welcomes their expertise. Very closed minded thinking and micro-management has caused school to lose its best teachers. While they offer great extracurricular activites, this means nothing if academics are not tight. Gifted program needs more expansion. Six hours of advanced class a week for child isn't enough. There is very little parent involvement unless free food is offered or a talent show. I have talked to excellent staff members that voiced their issues and I saw they were never addressed by principal. Parents volunteers are almost not there.
I have been a Marshall parent for the past two years.My kids have excelled as the development of the whole child is targeted at Marshall.The teachers at Marshall go the extra mile for each student. Success and discipline are high priorities for the staff of Marshall Elementary.The principal and administrators are very supportive of the parents and students.Parental support and involvement are encouraged and I have seen many parents step up to the plate.The school has a balanced specials program which involves PE, Art, music, computers and other extracurricular activities like basketball and cheerleading.The use of technology is integrated at the school with the use of laptops and smartboards.The power and value of education is continuously advocated to the students and their parents and most students/parents have accepted their responsibility as being part of the Marshall family.
The quality of the academic program is average. I believe it should be a little more rigorous to hold the students attention and continue to challenge them. (my opinion only) A lot of children enter school with a lot of knowledge and that knowledge is not challenged enough in the 1st and 2nd grades. As a result children loose interest and grades begin to fall. This school needs to add band atleast by the 4th grade. PE should be everyday and not just 2 or 3 days a week. I think that the parental involvement is up to par. Most functions are packed. Overall the staff is very professional,friendly, and knowledgeable. I have had a pleasant experience thus far.

There aren't many things cooler than seeing your favorite canceled TV show resurrected from the catacombs, so you can imagine how excited we were to hear "The Tick" might be making its way to Amazon (even if it's only for one episode).
On today's show, we take a look at Apple's newest campus during the early stages of construction (it's huge and looks really cool), watch a tiny robot run on two legs, and happily freak out about Amazon bringing "The Tick" back, even if it's only for one pilot episode.
A GoPro strapped to a quadcopter offers the best look yet at Apple's "Campus 2," currently under construction.
The robo-cars can now handle sticky situations like signaling bicyclists and navigating through railway crossings and construction zones. That means, says Google, they've got a better sense of handling real-world risks.
What's on tap for Microsoft's developer confab this week? Here's what we know and what we think we know.
The workers are protesting outside a Nokia plant, complaining of unfair compensation, according to a new report.
Can HTC capture buyers' attention with a "selfie" phone and action cam? Also, Apple's invitation to its latest event offers few hints. Plus, a new Tesla and all the latest tech in Tokyo in this look back at the week that was.
At the upcoming Frankfurt auto show, Audi will show the Sport Quattro concept, not only a 30-year anniversary marker for its original Sport Quattro, but an illustration of incredible technological progress.
It was October 4, 2004 that Scaled Composites won the Ansari XPrize. 10 years later, what started as one man's quest to get to space has evolved into an international organization for global good.

I adore this room for so many reasons. It exudes warmth and coziness...perfect for the crisp, fall days ahead. The decorative vignettes on the coffee table, mantel and side table complete the look.
There are many ways to display your collectibles, and one way is by grouping items that are similar...like beautiful vases or a rare collection.
One of the more popular items to use in tabletop displays are books. They are excellent for lifting objects to create different heights for the items you choose to use.
Have fun when creating lovely little vignettes. Pull out your beautiful collections. Do you collect old cameras or vintage clocks? Notice the wonderful old cameras featured here and how books are used to give height. The clock becomes a focal point contrasting against the dark color of the other items in the vignette.
If you'd like to display items under glass and don't have a cloche, consider using a glass cake platter. When creating vignettes, you can even go with a "theme." This vignette has a "nature" theme using moss, eggs, butterflies and a floral arrangement.
I love this display with the rich warmth of the wood letter-boxes and tea caddy, contrasting against the blue and white porcelain and the shiney brass lamp. Note how the wood items are grouped together, as are the porcelain pieces. Collections make much more of an impact grouped together than mixed all in with dissimilar pieces.
Vignettes don't have to be complex. Sometimes a room calls for simplicity. I love the clean, fresh look of this sweet display. Save your clear bottles for a lovely arrangement of flowers.
Here's a fun way to create a vignette. Find a pretty basket or container and tuck some pretties in...then place it wherever you desire. A moveable vignette...love this idea!
Height...it's an element you'll definitely want to take advantage of when displaying the things you love. Notice this display has been created using everyday items of varying heights.
Another lovely vignette created with books and objects of varying heights. The books make a wonderful pedestal for Mr. Bunny.
I love this charming vignette of green apples, yellow lemons and blue eggs, all displayed in colorful bowls atop a vintage quilt. Even everyday items like the food we eat can be used to create an eye-catching display.
And just when you thought all "vignettes" had to be tabletop displays...here's a wonderful grouping of old photographs displayed on the wall. It feels like a little vignette to me with the pretty pin and leaves.
When thinking of areas in your home where you might create little vignettes, the laundry room may not come to mind. With all the time we spend there, why not cozy it up a bit? This is so delightful...a little bit of fun and beauty where you least expect it.
This display would be fun to change out for the seasons. Today it's sporting a summer look. What would you tuck inside for fall/winter? What a fun way to use an old vintage crate in a wonderful vignette. It adds just the height you need for this display.
Here's a larger view of the vignette above. Now we can see that it actually stretches across a mantle and includes an even taller piece...the map. I like the repeat of the candles...ties everything together beautifully.
I hope this ideabook has given you some tips for displaying the things you love throughout your Home, Sweet Home.
