In 2010, Variety labeled the Les Arcs Film Festival as the "European Sundance." It wasn't entirely wrong about that – but not entirely right either.
Founded in 2009, the Les Arcs showcases European independent cinema and takes place annually at Les Arcs ski resort in the French Alps. This year's edition, which wrapped up over the weekend, celebrated the festival's fifth anniversary. It was the biggest year to date, according to co-founders Guillaume Calop and Pierre-Emmanuel Fleurentin, who both hail from the Savoy village.
Comparisons to Sundance are inevitable, mainly due to the ski resort factor and the parallel of showcasing indie films. What makes Les Arcs different – and perhaps unique – in this era when film festivals try so desperately to distinguish themselves in an oversaturated film festival circuit and marketplace for indie film? Start with this: Some of its screenings take place in a sculpted igloo in the middle of the slopes and a truck equipped with a fully functioning screening room. How fascinating and innovative is that?
More importantly, Les Arcs is looking to distinguish itself in another less sensational and more serious and professional manner. Indeed, with the evolving financing landscape for European indies, drastically reduced funding and distribution opportunities as well as a very unpredictable box office, it is a dire time for the European film market. According to Fleurentin, Les Arcs is aiming to show that "just like Sundance proved U.S. indie films could have an international and commercial potential, the same is true of European-driven films with small to mid-sized budgets up to €8 million."
In that sense, the festival's objective is to promote European cinema in all its diversity by showcasing European indies that tend to remain within their geographical boundaries. The festival also intends to improve the structuring of a European film market by organizing professional meetings that gather more than 500 movers and shakers of the European film industry. These professional events in question take place as part of the Les Arcs 1950 co-production market, a three-day event aimed at professionals interested in a financial or production participation in 28 projects (out of a total 250 submissions received this year, 90 more than in 2012) selected by the head of industry, Vanja Kaluđerčić, who is also a programmer at the Sarajevo Film Festival. Additionally, the event showcases 10 works-in-progress selected by Frédéric Boyer, the head programmer at Les Arcs and Tribeca. Boyer's selections include new projects by Clément Cogitore, Ian Fitzgibbon, John Huddles, Hans Van Nuffel and Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurdsson.
During the DIRE Days (European united independent distributors), the members of this network show upcoming releases to exhibitors while discussing the challenges of European films in the Héxagone. Moreover, the festival is broadening its horizons by inviting American and Canadian distributors in an attempt to open the market to non-European professionals like 20th Century Fox International -- "so they can find European films to finance," according to Fleurentin.
As far as the lineup is concerned, Fleurentin deems this year's selection the strongest, "a real balance of the diverse offering that can be found across Europe." Indeed, the 12 titles competing for the Crystal Arrow include David MacKenzie's "Starred Up," Pawel Pawlikowski's "Ida" (which has already snatched awards in London, Warsaw and Toronto), Hungary's foreign language Academy Award submission "The Notebook," Lukas Moodysson's "We Are The Best!," Jean-Stéphane Bron's "L'Expérience Blocher" and "Love is the Perfect Crime," which opened the festival.
Boyer organized the lineup so that 70% of it are French premieres, many coming straight from Toronto. This time, the focus is former Yugoslav cinema and includes classics such as "I Even Met Happy Gypsies" by Aleksandar Petrović, Emir Kusturica's "When Dad Was Away on Business," and the Oscar-winning "No Man's Land" by Danis Tanović. It also features contemporary works like Maja Miloš's controversial "Clip" and Srda Golubović's "The Trap."
Jasmila Žbanić, whose film "For Those Who Can Tell No Tales" is also screened in competition, has received the "Femme du Cinéma" award, an honorary prize that supports women directors that has been introduced for the first time this year. Innovative additions like this are highly significant for a festival that cannot merely rely on high-profile world premieres due to its place in the festival calendar.
Les Arcs not only exerts influence on the European indie marketplace because of its emphasis on diversity, but also because it presents a mixture of low budget works from emerging and established talent alike. After only five editions, with its an ambitious lineup and high-profile industry events, Les Arcs has managed to become a key rendez-vous for the film festival circuit and industry and one of the most pleasant ones at that -- no matter which festivals to which it's compared. Chapeau!

Calmare has successfully treated over 4,000 patients worldwide, where it has been shown to be effective in treating neuropathic and oncologic pain. Conditions treated include:
The device is currently being used in the US at these key teaching hospitals:
The Calmare medical device was developed by Professor Giuseppe Marineo, a researcher and bioengineer and the founder and manager of Delta Research & Development. Delta R&D is the Bioengineering Research Centre affiliated with Tor Vergata University of Rome, Italy.
The device, with a biophysical rather than a biochemical approach, uses a multi-processor able to simultaneously treat multiple pain areas by applying surface electrodes to the skin. The device creates and sends a no-pain signal which becomes the dominant signal received by the brain, thus overriding the pain signal and providing relief for the patient.
The technology was brought to Competitive Technologies, Inc. (OTCQX: CTTC) through the efforts of Prof. Giancarlo Elia Valori of the Italian business development group, Sviluppo Lazio S.p.A. CTTC licensee GEOMC of Korea is manufacturing the device commercially for worldwide sales.
In honor of the technology's Italian inventor, CTTC chose to call this
medical device "Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment." Translated from the
Italian, "calmare" means "to soothe or ease." Calmare Pain Therapy

Kanye West rushes the stage while Taylor Swift was thanking people for her award for "Best Female Video". He says "I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos ever."
The audience started booing Kanye.
Boo! That has got to be one of the most disrespectful acts I have ever seen on live TV. What a disgrace Kanye. Boo! Boo! Boo!
Although: I bet Kanye West does the Single Ladies dance at home and couldn't stand the idea that Beyonce lost.

Love Pink (aka Alecia Beth Moore).
It's amazing to me that after songs like "Get the Party Started", "God is a DJ," "Stupid Girls" and "Who Knew" she didn't have a #1 single until "So What." But, she did have a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. And, cheers to her for channeling her temporary separation from husband again Carey Hart into her most successful album ever.
Can she come back and write as well as a happy new mom with a mended heart? Apparently so. Pink's latest album, The Truth About Love, was released mid-last month and is her first to debut on the top of the Billboard charts!
This video for "Try" came out today Wonder how hard she had to try to get to get her sick physique back little more than a year after she had a baby! Rock on….

Buccaneers wide receiver Ike Hilliard sustained a concussion after taking a huge hit from Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill in the second quarter...
TAMPA — Buccaneers wide receiver Ike Hilliard sustained a concussion after taking a huge hit from Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill in the second quarter.
Hilliard crumpled to the turf and looked to be unconscious after making a 4-yard catch to the Seahawks' 4-yard line. Hill's hit, replays showed, was under Hilliard's chin.
Hilliard crumpled to the turf in the second quarter after a fierce hit by Seattle linebacker Leroy Hill.
The hit was so powerful that Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who was in on the play, suffered a concussion, too, and had to leave the game. Hilliard had to be taken off the field on a cart after a five-minute delay, and neither he nor Tatupu returned.

Most Read Stories
"I went and apologized to him," Hill said of Hilliard. "When I looked at him he was out. I didn't mean for it to happen like that. But that's the game."
Hill's hit could get the NFL's attention and result in a fine.
"I can't gauge if it was a high [hit] or not," Hill said. "That's the game. Like I said, I apologized and that's it. I'll have to look at the tape."
The Seahawks ended up getting the ball. Officials ruled it a catch and down by contact at first, but Seattle challenged the ruling and it was overturned to a fumble, recovered by Seahawks cornerback Josh Wilson.
"I was right there, so I could see that he fumbled it when he was still up," Wilson said. "I could see he [Hilliard] was dinged."
Three happy returns
But two unhappy results. Rookie Justin Forsett, playing in his first game as a Seahawk, returned a kick 24 yards and cornerback Josh Wilson ran back another kick 61 yards, but neither resulted in points.
Quarterback Seneca Wallace threw an interception after Forsett's return, and a bad exchange between Wallace and center Chris Spencer resulted in a fumble in Tama Bay territory after Wilson's return.
Forsett added a 24-yard punt return that led to a field goal in the third quarter
"It was just good to get back out there," Forsett said. "The comfort level is definitely high now. All we can do is, when we get the ball, try to do the best we can with it."
long road back
On a night when many Seahawks backups saw quality playing time, perhaps no one waited longer to get into a game than Will Herring.
The second-year linebacker wasn't credited with a tackle, but he played on special teams in his first game since the 2007 regular-season finale.
Herring was on the physically-unable-to-perform list with chronic knee joint inflammation until last week, then practiced and was activated for Sunday night's game.
"It felt real good to get back out there with the guys," Herring said. "Somebody got me good one time out there on kickoff return, but that's going to happen. Tampa's a good team."
Herring said after the game he felt fine.
Darryl Tapp made his first start at defensive end in place of Lawrence Jackson and Jordan Babineaux opened the game at right cornerback. Babineaux was the third Seahawk to start at the spot this season, joining Kelly Jennings and Wilson.
Rookie defensive tackle Red Bryant, playing in his first game since the season opener, got some snaps beginning very early in the game. Ray Willis got in at right tackle for a couple of series, in place of Sean Locklear. Jordan Kent played his first game since Buffalo in Week One, and D.D. Lewis, normally a special-teams player, played most of the game at middle linebacker when Tatupu went out.
"It was just one of those things that you have to press through," Lewis, who took a shot to his left knee in the game, said.
Thanks, A-Train
Buccaneers fans paid tribute to one of the franchise's most popular players, former fullback Mike Alstott, who spent all 11 of his NFL seasons in Tampa Bay. Alstott rushed for 5,088 yards and scored 71 touchdowns in his career. He was named to six Pro Bowls and was a three-time first-team All-Pro.
Alstott, who officially retired from the NFL in January, was introduced with the Bucs' starting lineup and ran out onto the field, and was saluted with a standing ovation as he joined the team captains for the pregame coin toss.
At halftime, Alstott was honored in a ceremony on the field, presented with a pair of framed jerseys. One was in the original Bucs orange and cream, and the other in pewter and red, the current version.
Before he could get going on his acceptance speech, the crowd at Raymond James Stadium chanted his last name.
"I love you, and I will miss you," Alstott told the crowd. "I appreciate it."
• Joining Matt Hasselbeck on the list of those inactive for the game were WR Deion Branch, who missed his fifth game of the season; K Brandon Coutu, CB Kevin Hobbs, OL Mansfield Wrotto, TE Will Heller, DE Baraka Atkins and DT Howard Green. Green was inactive for the first time this season, as were Hobbs and Heller, who has a knee injury.
• Holmgren said there's a chance Hasselbeck could be back for the game at San Francisco this Sunday.
Freelance reporter Steve Isbitts contributed to this report.

Raveena Tandon, who started her career with "Patthar Ke Phool", says the current lot of actresses are under a lot of pressure to look slim and in the process, are compromising on their health as a result unable to withstand the rigors of the job.
"After coming to this industry, we actresses face so much pressure to look thin all the time. We are working at erratic hours…we also go through such strict diet plans, it is important to have a strong base," she said.
"These days we get to hear news of actresses fainting due to dieting or working non-stop for 24 hours or for 36 hours. But touchwood, I have never fainted in my life till now," the 37-year-old actress added at an event to announce her as the brand ambassador of Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil.
Raveena feels actresses of her generation were a lot healthier as compared to the current crop.
"I did 'Patthar Ke Phool' when I was 16 and from that day onwards I have been shooting. That time people were not conscious about their looks to such an extent. We were very healthy back then. Me, Kajol, Manisha (Koirala) — when we had come, we were strong, we looked like we belonged to healthy families," said the actress last seen in "Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap".
Raveena had taken a sabbatical after her marriage to Anil Thadani in 2004 and made a comeback last year with "Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap". Now she has signed a couple of projects and is currently shooting for "Gin Liya Aasmaan".
She will also be seen in "E-dil Sambhal Zara" and "Shovna Seven Nights". – IANS

I am using Luke to view a Lucene index. There is a column named 'Rank'. What is the actual meaning of it? My guess is that the Rank means number of occurrence and the larger Rank number meaning the term is more significant. But I don't understand is that it is a full text search. If I search for 'apple', all the 'apple' index will be returned that doesn't matter with what Rank 'apple' has. Am I having a wrong understanding? If not, what is the actual use for the Rank column?
When I inspect the index, it seems there are quite some 'noise' there, e.g. the character 'o' has a very high Rank number. Does it mean this index is bad? How should I fix it? Thanks in advance.

The Universe Tonight
The directory 'Gallery/programs/culture_nite/1105' does not exist. Check your parameters.
Dr. Frantz Martinache
New Tools to Image New Worlds
Fifteen years ago, astronomers produced the first convincing evidence supporting the presence of planets orbiting stars like the Sun: we call these newly discovered worlds -extrasolar planets- and now know of over 500 of them. In very little time, what started as a marginal research topic has become a major scientific quest and multiple ground based observing programs and space mission projects now aim at the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets.
We will go over the most successful indirect detection methods used and see what we have learned from these alien worlds. But while these techniques are very powerful, just like you, a lot of astronomers, including me, think that actual pictures would be really cool.
Very recently only (circa 2009) have we however been able to produce actual images of these otherwise very elusive faint dots. Together we will see why it is so darn hard to do, and see what steps we can take to help us get there.
I will introduce one project being developed at the Subaru Telescope:
something we call the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics Project (or SCExAO), and share with you what we are likely to see in the next couple of years in this exciting area of research.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Frantz Martinache is a French astronomer who completed his PhD and graduated from the University of Marseille in 2005, after a Master in Engineering from the Ales School of Mines. His research is focused on the development of high angular resolution instruments and techniques; for the study of low-mass stars and extrasolar planets. He worked at Haute Provence Observatory, France and at Cornell University, NY before joining the Subaru Telescope as a research fellow in 2008.
On the first Saturday of each month, the Visitor Information Station (VIS) hosts The Universe Tonight, a special presentation on the current research and discoveries occurring on Mauna Kea. The presentation begins at 6:00 PM and is followed by the regular evening stargazing program at the VIS.
The Universe Tonight typically features an astronomer from one of the observatories on Mauna Kea giving a presentation on recent observations and discoveries from their telescope. Observatories are on a rotating schedule. If you would like to know about upcoming presentations, please call the VIS at (808) 961-2180 during operational hours.

First Bite: Criolla Kitchen Brings Some Soul to the Castro
Most of my friends in SF are from California or the East Coast. Not many of them are from Louisiana where I grew up. And zero of them are from Baton Rouge. So this morning, when I was interviewing New Orleans-native Randy Lewis of the new Criolla Kitchen and he told me that he used to find himself in Baton Rouge at the Silver Moon—a funky soul food dive that I used to love literally located on the other side of the tracks, giving it a thrilling element of white-girl danger—I wanted to give him a high five over the phone.
Silver Moon's incendiary smothered turkey! Please Randy Lewis, make that at Criolla so I can have it again.
Fry Way or the Highway: Yat's Does Turkeys Right
Thanksgiving Day just got a little shinier. I was already excited about Yat's, the legit po'boy (and gumbo and red beans 'n' rice and crawfish etoufée) joint that took over the Potrero Hill/Mission dive bar Jack's during daylight hours last May. I haven't been there yet, but this Saturday's the day. As a girl who was (almost) born, and definitely raised, in Baton Rouge, LA, I consider myself a po'boy expert. I will report back.

My sister got me a bashring for my birthday. I'm in desperate need of a chain guide now as I keep dropping the chain with my 1x9 setup. I'm not leaving the FD on.
So... my question is... are all chain guides the same? I mean, if I buy one off the net, will it be compatible with my bike? I have a 32t ring up front. Raceface XC Ride crankset.

Well hurrah. At last I find something useful lurking behind the "New Post" button. Not that I have time to post anything much yet.
Maybe later.
And I could venture a pic.
I see. It's asking me to log in again before I post pic – and when I do the whole panel vanishes. Browser uploads works though. This site is definitely 'Work in Progress.'
Oh nooo. It doesn't like emoticons!! What will I do? I am addicted. I really do not want to type "lol" or "faint smile" or "full-on grinning like idiot" or "choking and showering keyboard with toast crumbs and tea" or "laughing so much I've just tipped red wine all down my front."
