INTERVIEW: Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen On Their Robert Evans Doc, "The Kid Stays In the Picture"
by indieWIRE
(indieWIRE: 07.24.02) -- indieWIRE recently hosted a New York City film community screening of "The Kid Stays in the Picture," the new documentary about the life of legendary producer Robert Evans. Directors Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen, directors of the award-winning boxing documentary "On the Ropes," were on hand after the screening and fielded questions from the audience and indieWIRE's editor in chief, Eugene Hernandez, about the making of this unique documentary. Focus Films released "The Kid" on Friday to a phenomenal box office of nearly $90,000 on only four screens in New York and Los Angeles over the weekend. The film will expand to other markets this Friday.
Eugene Hernandez: So, lets start from the beginning, how did you end up making this movie?
Brett Morgen: We got a call from a woman named Pam Brady, who wrote the "South Park" movie, in the fall of 1999. After "South Park" became a big success, Pam asked for a meeting with Bob Evans -- she was a big fan of his book on tape [the audiobook version of his 1994 book "The Kid Stays in the Picture"] Pam offered to write a screenplay to produce. So she called us and told us about it, and it sounded like "Sunset Boulevard." We signed on to do it on the spot.
We were about to shoot the film, we had raised one and a half million dollars, and three days before production was going to begin, we got a call from Graydon Carter, the editor of Vanity Fair. Graydon told us that he had the exclusive non-fiction rights to Bob's life, and we needed to cease and desist. We met with Graydon later that afternoon and we decided to do "The Kid Stays in the Picture" together, which was a departure for us because "On the Ropes" was a pure cinema verite film and we had never done archival films before.
Nanette Burstein: We didn't really know if it would work having him off camera. It was a challenge.
Hernadez: This is not a traditional documentary in the way it's put together. Maybe that's a good place to start.
Burstein: With documentaries, you have different perspectives or point of views, you either follow people and film them or you interview them, you're a fly on the wall, and it's more of a he said/she said. The best way to describe this film is a third-person autobiography in which Bob describes his life and his is the only voice you hear. He's such a great storyteller that we wanted to embrace that and give you a Bob Evans experience. And then the visuals are commenting and we're giving our own subtext to the film, underneath Bob's narration.
Morgen: If you've seen "On the Ropes," obviously this is a very different film. And I think Nanette and I are believers that the style of the film should be dictated by the content or the subject matter of the film. Ultimately when you talk about the style of the film the adjectives that come to mind are the adjectives that describe Bob -- glamorous, kitschy, schmaltzy. This isn't so much a movie about Bob as a movie that IS Bob. We wanted to personify him.
Burstein: We always said this is the kind of film that Bob Evans would have greenlighted. The thing about Bob was that he was a huge risk-taker. He made "Harold and Maude," about an 80-year-old woman having an affair with a 15-year-old boy. How do you sell that today? He had his losers and he had his winners. But this was a movie where we knew we had a guy talking off camera for 90 minutes and we weren't really sure what we were going to see yet.
Morgen: One thing going in, we knew we wanted to try something different with photo animation, and I'm sure somebody will ask us how we did the that.
Jun Diaz is the editor of the film and also the editor of "American Movie." Film is a huge collaboration and Jun deserves as much credit as anybody on this film. We knew we wanted to be very trippy and 3-D and Jun is a master of a program called Adobe After Effects, which enables you to take a photograph, cut out each of the elements and then put them back together again, creating a separation between background and foreground. Once you separate that photo, you can work like a director walking onto a set and blocking a scene. You can zoom, you can rack focus, you can add real footage and stills.
Burstein: Some of the shots were a little more high-end, we did some 3D animation, but most of them are just with this fairly accessible program.
It was really important to us to creative this disorienting, hallucinogenic world. Because it is Bob's version of the story, and he lives in his own enchanted tale so he wanted the visuals to comment on it. And because Bob is the guy who got everything in his life based on his image, and lost everything because his image was tarnished. It was this true Hollywood extreme story. It was important that the visuals took you into never-never land.
Audience member: I was curious how you approached Bob, did you pitch it to him?
Morgen: It was interesting, the first time we went to meet with Bob was with Pam Brady. I don't think anything in life prepared us for that. I think when most people meet him -- Eugene you would probably say the same thing -- you go into a room intimidated by his legend, and he immediately disarms you and makes you feel like you're his best friend. We went there and had this first meeting with him for three hours, he was crying to us, at one point he suggested the three of us form a production company called Stallion Pictures. [laughter] It was wonderful, because here is Bob Evans asking these two little filmmakers from New York to form a company with him.
Normally its our job as documentarians to seduce our subjects, we want to create that intimate space. Bob made it really easy for us because he was actively trying to seduce us, which we found amusing. We were hopefully savvy enough to see through it. I like to think that all non-fiction films are collaborations between the filmmakers and the subjects and your film can only be as good as your subject. We think this was like a mutual seduction, and more like a dance of death. It was insane. There's a point when he's talking about "Rosemary's Baby" when he says fighting is healthy and the work is better because of it. Bob really takes that to task and would fight with us over ever line in the film.
Burstein: He was very hesitant to talk about anything in the second half of his life. He just wanted to go with the high instead of the low. Anytime we would try to record voiceover about the drug bust or cocaine, he would just get so upset that his butler would have to come in with a blood pressure machine. So a paragraph could take us two weeks.
Morgen: It's interesting because when we shot "On the Ropes" we felt we would shoot two days a week but we were with our subjects seven days a week. And the time we were with them really helped those moments when we brought the cameras out. And you would think with a film like this you wouldn't need that intensive immersion, but it was really important for us and for Bob to spend a lot of time with him, to really gain his trust, to get to the point where he was able to give us everything we needed for voiceover.
Burstein: Plus it was fun to hang out in his Beverly Hills mansion.
Audience member: How many photographs did you use?
Hernandez: And maybe take a step back and talk about getting those photographs.
Morgen: Bob saved everything in his life from the time he was 15. Nanette and I once asked him why he saved everything; when he was 15 years old he was a child star on radio in New York. Bob said at the age of 15 he was a big star in radio dating some of the top showgirls in town, he would finish his homework and run to the Copacabana and go with these ladies, and he started to be written about in all these columns. And he says he started saving them because if he didn't think anybody would believe him. And we still don't really believe him [laughs] but nonetheless he kept these scrapbooks that are catalogued by film and project.
Burstein: And he has a "Bob and women" photo album, and a closet full of magazines and everything. We had a lot to choose from and we used tons of it. The biggest problem was getting rights to every photo and any clip -- any time an actor appears in the clip you have to get his permission. There were 256.
I think the great thing about keeping Bob off camera and hearing the narration is that it allows everything to be in the moment. You're constantly in the present tense. It's not necessarily a film about a 72-year-old man looking back at his life, but you the audience get to experience it moment by moment by moment. If we would have put him on camera I think it would have been sad, because contrasting him how he is now with the aesthetically gorgeous man he was then

After guiding Mississippi State to its highest national finish on the diamond, MSU baseball coach John Cohen has been named a finalist for the CollegeBaseballInsider.com 2013 National Coach of the Year Award.
The other finalists include Brad Hill (Kansas State), Dan McDonnell (Louisville), Brian O'Connor (Virginia), John Savage (UCLA), Tracy Smith (Indiana), and Rick Vanderhook (Cal State Fullerton). The winner will be announced by the online publication July 3.
Cohen, who won the award in 2006 after guiding Kentucky to the SEC title and an NCAA post-season berth, directed Mississippi State to a 51-20 record and to national runner-up honors in 2013, the school's highest national finish in athletics.
Along the way the Bulldogs posted a 3-1 mark in the SEC Tournament, hosted and won the NCAA Starkville Regional with a 3-1 record, swept past Virginia in the NCAA Charlottesville (Va.) Super Regional, and then advanced to the Championship Series of the 2013 College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Cohen, in his fifth season, has been associated with three of Mississippi State's four 50-win campaigns as a player (1989-90) and now as a head coach (2013).
CollegeBaseballInsider.com has been selecting a national coach of the year since 2003.

By cheap, I mean less than $200
I'm looking at the integrated setup from Vision, which isn't that expensive if one gets the Al version.
Look ergostem isn't an option for me. Too expensive and I honestly don't trust the pivots to hold my weight.
I'm currently running a P3 alu, in the correct size. I love the frame but the headtube is too tall.
Current bar setup is the Profile Design T2 bullhorns and clip ons. I have a 10 degree stem flipped down. I can get another 1.5 cm if I get a -17 degree stem, but I still think I'd need to buy lower clip-ons too. At this point I think I might as well get the whole integrated shebang.

India's sugar output is likely to rise 4% year-on-year in the next marketing year starting October despite poor monsoon showers, though production in Uttar Pradesh could drop due to an expected 9% fall in cane planting, according to a preliminary forecast by the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA).
Sugar output in the world's second largest producer is expected to touch 25.30 million tonne in 2014-15, compared with 24.30 million tonne this year and 25.14 milllion tonne a year before, according to ISMA forecast. Consumption is expected to go up by to 24.50 million tonne in 2014-15, up 2% from the current year, it added.
ISMA said satellite images show higher cane area in Maharashtra and Karnataka from the 2013-14 level, although planting in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu has trailed. Since Maharashtra and Karnataka witness better cane yields and higher recovery rates than both UP and Tamil Nadu, overall production is going to be higher despite an expected 2% drop in overall cane area across the country in 2014-15 than the current marketing year which will end in September.
However, there are doubts on the rainfall front in the western part of the country, which may have some impact on currently estimated yields and recoveries from Maharashtra and North Karnataka, the mills association said.
Since sugarcane crop is largely grown on irrigated area and with current water level in reservoirs being in good position, the impact of lower rainfall, if any, in June-July can be minimised, it added.
It is important to note that a similar situation had arisen in the 2012-13 sugar season and doubts were being raised on sugarcane and sugar production from the western part due to low rainfall in JuneJuly in that area. However, since the retreating monsoon, which brought rainfall in September-October, was good that year, the lower rainfall of June-July did not result in lower sugar production from these areas, the association said.
The association added that it will obtain satellite images again in August and September this year for more clarity on monsoon progress and crop area and will accordingly release its first advance estimate for 2014-15 in September 2014.
However, according to the preliminary estimate, while cane planting in Uttar Pradesh is expected to drop 9% in 2014-15, that in Maharashtra will likely rise 13%, more than offsetting the deficit in UP. While UP is the largest cane grower,

The North Carolina Forest Service says a blaze that has burned for more than a month in northeastern Pender County is now more than three-quarters under control.
Officials say rain and thunderstorms on the northern and eastern sides of the fire Saturday have helped slow the fire's growth. It's now 78 percent contained.
The wildfire has burned more than 31,000 acres since it started with a lightning strike June 19.
Officials said they didn't think ground-level smoke would be a hazard for drivers Sunday.

Roma, Arsenal, Shakhtar progress in Champs League
nepal Arsenal, AS Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk became the final three teams to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League on Wednesday.
Roma secured second place in Group E, behind Bayern Munich, by drawing 1-1 at Cluj. FC Basel came into the final matchday needing to beat Bayern to stand any chance of catching Roma but was thrashed 3-0 in Germany.
Group H had both qualifying spots open but Shakhtar finished top by winning 2-0 at home to FC Braga, and Arsenal joined the Ukrainian champions after a nervy 3-1 victory over Partizan Belgrade.
Chelsea's perfect record in Group F ended with a 1-0 loss at Marseille to increase the pressure on manager Carlo Ancelotti, while Real Madrid remained unbeaten after its six matches in Group G courtesy of a 4-0 win over Auxerre, with Karim Benzema scoring a hat trick.
The draw for the last 16 will be held on Dec. 17, with group winners and teams from the same country prevented from playing each other.
Roma only needed a point to go through, but looked as if it would pick up all three when Marco Borriello put the Italian side in the lead in the 21st minute from 12 yards.
Lacina Traore headed home in the 88th to earn the Romanian team a draw.
France winger Franck Ribery scored in both halves for Bayern, which was already assured of winning the group. Defensive midfielder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk also found the target for last season's runner-up.
Basel finished third and will play in the Europa League.
Arsenal reached the second round of the Champions League for the 11th straight year but was given a scare by Partizan and needed late goals by Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri to seal the win.
Robin van Persie, making his first start in the competition in more than a year, put the Gunners ahead from the penalty spot in the 30th after he was fouled by Marko Jovanovic.
But Arsene Wenger's side, which climbed to the top of the Premier League last weekend, was far from its best and conceded when Cordova Cleo's shot deflected off Sebastien Squillaci and over diving Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski in the 42nd.
"When it was 1-1, you never know," Wenger said. "Football is mysterious sometimes. They got a deflected goal, they hadn't had many chances and sometimes when it's all against you they can score a second goal."
Wenger sent on substitute Walcott and the England winger scored within six minutes, volleying home after collecting a poor defensive clearance.
Nasri wrapped the game up in the 77th, the in-form midfielder slamming in a left-footed shot from 15 yards for his 12th goal of the season.
Bacary Sagna was sent off in the 85th minute for a professional foul and will miss the first leg of the last 16.
When asked which side Arsenal would like next, Van Persie said: "As a football fan, Barcelona or Madrid, but we'll see what the draw will be."
The Gunners could also face German teams FC Schalke or Bayern.
Braga had to better Arsenal's result, or win 4-0 in Donetsk, to clinch a top-two finish but never threatened and conceded two goals in the final 11 minutes.
Madrid coach Jose Mourinho watched from the stands as his team finished Group G unbeaten.
Mourinho was serving a one-game ban for instructing Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos to deliberately incur red cards in a victory at Ajax two weeks ago.
Madrid had no problems without its coach's touchline prompts, Benzema opening the scoring in the 12th and adding two more goals in the final 18 minutes in his best display in 18 months with the club.

It's Semi Finals Week on "The X Factor"
12/13/2012 12:20am EST
It's semi finals week on "The X Factor" and the four remaining acts must perform two songs – one is the contestant's choice" as they work to become one of the three spots in the finals. This week it's all up to the fans with no more sing offs or judge's saves.
For his first performance Tate Stevens chose a song he said reflects who he is and where he came from with "Bonfire". Only Britney didn't agree with her fellow judges and rousing audience response. Simon called the performance a reflection of the kind of song Tate wanted to record and LA said it was the most fun he has had on the show.
For his second performance Tate sang "Fall" by Clay Walker. The judges all agreed the performance was amazing with Britney calling it a direct hit.
True to form Carly Rose performed her usual slow songs with big notes. For her first performance Carly sang the Sir Elton John hit "Your Song" in a performance the judge's called predictable, a risk, and beautiful.
For her second song - "Imagine" - Carly began and ended the performance at the piano. While most of the judges agreed the performance was risky but amazing; Simon called it fussy and over complicated, saying that Carly should have stayed at the piano.
The boys of Emblem 3 performed the Peter Frampton hit "Baby I Love Your Way" with an Emblem 3 twist. LA called it a $5 million moment and Britney called it unfair to call the guys a boy band.
For their second performance Emblem 3 sang The Beatles mega hit "Hey Jude" in a performance that LA said he was prepared to rip to shreds but instead called them teen hearth throbs who did a great job and Britney called it an A level performance. After their performance the guys thanked those who have supported them.
The girls in Fifth Harmony sang "Anything Can Happen" in a performance LA called their best and Britney called magic.
For their second performance Fifth Harmony performed the first song they had ever done as a group – "Imposible". While LA thought it was a lazy song choice, the girls called the performance stiff; but Simon felt it was the right thing to do and loved the Spanish lines in the song. After the comments host Mario Lopez spoke to the girls in Spanish.
On results night the finalists will be revealed but no leader board and Bruno Mars performs.

TRAINING: No day is typical, but generally there's a lot of mitt work, conditioning, drilling and rolling. I keep pretty busy.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I have a lot of pent up rage from being the nerdy kid, and I wanted to unleash some of that. I met up with my coaches about a year ago (April, '06) and they tested me out. I kept getting better and they took me under their wings to mold me into the fighter I am today. They're my big brothers, beating on me until I get better. I owe a lot of my success to them.

When I first heard about Noah I was fairly optimistic.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
My son was cited for procession of alcohol by a minor. The campus police entered my son's dorm because of a noise concern, they proceeded to search the 4 bedroom on campus apartment without athorization and found a souviner size bottle of tequilla with the worm in it, the officers proceeded to tell my son verbally he would be charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, never provided him a citation, but took a "mug shot" and threatened that he was lucky they did not arrest him What I am trying to determine is if in fact we can file a harassement case or any recourse based on the fact that he never received a written citation from the officer? Also, what are the reprocussions of this type of citation in CA. My son was not intoxicated nor was their any other alcohol involved.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Also, please take time to positively rate our conversation so I may receive credit for my time.

Peer Education at SJU
The Peer Educators are a diverse group of student leaders, trained through the Wellness, Alcohol & Drug Education (WADE) program and inspired by the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis (care of the whole person). Peer Educators empower others to make positive decisions in order to live healthy lifestyles, by providing a judgment-free environment through collaborative wellness-based educational initiatives to create an informed community.
"I joined the Peer Educators because I was looking for a group of students that were passionate about educating others about wellness issues. I have been a member for over two years because it is a great support system and an amazing organization to be a part of!" - Vincenza Bartholomew, Peer Educator, Class of 2016
"Freshman year, I joined Peer Educators in hopes to continue bystander intervention training for my peers from high school. What I found was better than I could have expected! I have made great friends, have learned about many wellness topics, and have had wonderful discussions about new topics and planning events on campus." - Kayla Carroll, Peer Educator, Class of 2016
Peer Educators provide the following services for the SJU campus community in an effort to reduce high risk behavior:
- Workshops
for student groups or classes covering the intersection of alcohol and drug issues as they relate to the wellness wheel: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, professional, social and financial wellness. These workshops are interactive and engaging and focus on bystander intervention or how to help a friend in need.
- Request a Workshop Here
- Request a Workshop Here
- Awareness Campaigns to educate the campus such as Natural High tabling activity, The Fine Line Between Abuse and Addiction display

- Educational Events in collaboration with other students organizations or departments such as Addiction Speak Out, Wellness Fair, Love Your Body Fair and Black Out Day.
- To collaborate on an event or program, email email@example.com or stop in their office in Campion 215C.
Peer Educators are highly trained student leaders and are examples of healthy behavior. They have fun with their peers and enjoy helping others in their community to realize a satisfying and productive lifestyle. By joining Peer Educators, you will gain skills that will transfer into any professional setting.
Here is what you can expect to gain from joining Peer Educators:
- Training and knowledge related to wellness, alcohol and other drug education
- Opportunities to network and collaborate with other campus offices and student groups
- Public speaking skills through facilitating workshops to groups or in classrooms

After an application is received, the Peer Education Advisor will reach out to set up an interview. After an interview, you are welcome to join the group as a Peer Educator In-Training. Peer Educators In-Training are expected to attend all meetings and help plan and implement educational and awareness events.
A 10-hour Fall Training is critical to the position and is mandatory for all Peer Educators. After undergoing training, you will become a Peer Educator and be able to faciliatate workshops, run for an Executive Board position and chair a Committee as well as plan and implement events.
Ongoing education and training is important and is required for all Peer Educators. Any training missed will result in reverting back to a Peer Educator In-Training until the next training is attended thus losing any leadership position and the ability to facilitate workshops.

The push by asset management companies (AMCs) to get business from beyond the top 15 cities, or B-15 towns, is likely to give a leg-up to the community of 75,000-plus independent financial advisors (IFAs), as AMCs will mostly depend on these advisors to get the business in these regions. As part of this push into B-15 towns, a majority of the AMCs have already increased the commission paid to IFAs by anywhere between 75 basis points (bps) and 100 bps, according to industry observers.
The market regulators decision to allow AMCs to charge an extra 30 bps as expense ratio means that AMCs can effectively choose to pay a higher upfront commission of up to 200 bps to distributors for selling equity schemes, said the sales head of a large AMC, on condition of anonymity.
Unless the IFA is adequately incentivised, he will not be interested in getting business from these regions because of the high cost involved in acquiring clients, said Ramesh Bhat, president, IFA Galaxy, a body of IFAs. A large portion of this cost would involve travel expenses and the money spent in educating investors, he added. As of December, 31, 2012, the top 15 cities contributed more than 87% to the MF business. Experts believe that the reliance on IFAs in B-15 towns is likely to be higher as IFAs have historically been known to bring in more sticky assets than banks or national distributors.
As per Sebi guidelines, AMCs will have to claw back additional TER in the case of inflows from cities beyond top 15 cities to the extent the investments are redeemed within a period of one year. A new cadre of IFAs is also expected to emerge from the B-15 towns.
We expect several retired people from these regions to sign up as distributors, said V Ramesh, deputy CEO, Amfi. According to Bhat, a lot of retired persons from the banking industry have shown interest in selling mutual fund schemes.
In August, market regulator Sebi, in its guidelines, had allowed postal agents, retired officials from government, banks and retired teachers to distribute simple products in a bid to energise the distribution system and increase the feet-on-street in distribution.

East Alton, IL (KSDK) -- East Alton's second largest employer, Olin Corporation, is talking about moving more than 900 jobs to Oxford, Mississippi.
And still, union employees voted down a new contract Sunday which would have meant keeping their jobs for another contract term.
On Tuesday, the union rep said there's been no communication between Olin and the union since the vote, and workers are waiting to see what's next.
It's no secret the Winchester Division is considering moving its Centerfire ammunition manufacturing operation. But workers say they voted down the contract because the company was asking for too many concessions including cutting their pay.
"They think they're going to move anyway, general things like that. They didn't like taking the cuts that they was going to give us," said Kent Unterbrink, Olin employee.
After the contract vote on Sunday, the Olin Corporation Spokesperson told the Belleville News Democrat that the company will announce a final decision shortly regarding contract negotiations and the potential move.

It's the longest I have ever owned the same car, and I don't really find anything else to do the job so well and reliably. What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car? A functional & flexible car. Would you buy this car again and why? Yes, becuase it does everything well (except the rurning circle). What are you likely to buy next?

Franchised Did you buy this car new? Used What price did you pay? £16,000 When did you buy the car? June 2007 Did you get a good deal and why? I bought a 3 month old ex Sale car, with under 4K miles on the clock, for £2K under new price. Is there any special reason why you bought this car? I previously owned a Corolla (still doing well owned by my daughter) & I wanted to have a reliable replacement. What was the dealer like? Excellent! Driving it 4 out of 5 What's it like to drive?

Real Housewives of Atlanta
NeNe Leakes Shows Off New Hair Style, Looks Like Mary J. Blige (PHOTO)
NeNe Leakes has had varying forms of her platinum blonde bob for years now, but she recently changed it up just a bit by lengthening only one side of her locks. Although her hair is still the same bright blonde color, the new 'do is clearly edgier than what we've seen from the Real Housewives of Atlanta star in the past.
NeNe showed off her new look on July 28 as she made her way to dinner at Mr.Chow in L.A. She kept things casual with distressed skinny jeans and a black, red, and gold blazer.
The reality star-turned actress has often drawn comparisons to musician Mary J. Blige in the past, and we think the two look more alike than ever now thanks to NeNe's new hair. Is it just us, or is Mrs. Leakes totally channeling Mary J circa early 2000s?!
Possible resemblance aside, NeNe was in great spirits as she left the restaurant, despite being sued by her "wedding planner" just days earlier. See for yourself in this hilarious video below!

I know I'm not perfect,
I know I got issues.
I know that I've got a sorted past
And yes, some bad tattoos
I'm not a model. I'm not a saint
I'm sorry, but I'm just not sorry,
Cause I swear and cause I drink,
But maybe it's about the time
To let all of the love back into the light
Maybe it's about the perfect place
To let go and Forget about the hate
Love into the light
I know we're all different
Baby that's life
But of all of these differences
They make me feel alive
And I've got this question, yeah
Been burning through my head
Can't we all get over ourselves
And just stop talking ****
Maybe it's about the time
To let all of the love back into the light
Maybe it's about the perfect place
To let go and forget about the hate
Love into the light.

Under Ryan's tutelage, the Cowboys ranked among the league's top 20 total

part as a result of injuries to many of Dallas' key defensive players.

Miramax is no more. And I challenge you to name the specialty division's new owner. For $660 million, Disney sold the Tiffany label built and abandoned by the Weinsteins--that once represented class, style and Oscar contenders--to Filmyard Holdings, a consortium led by financeer Ron Tutor and partners including Colony Capitol and the beleaguered David Bergstein. And Disney decided finally not to release two Miramax films still on its schedule, John Madden's The Debt, a Mossad thriller starring Helen Mirren, and Guillermo del Toro's production of rookie Troy Nixey's R-rated scare-fest Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, starring Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce, which was well-reviewed by the LAT.
Who will release the films now is open to speculation as Filmyard Holdings isn't set up to do so, as yet. Indie distribs are only now starting to sniff out the situation. Here's Variety.
Also caught in a release quagmire is Steven Soderbergh's Haywire, which was financed by Relativity Media but acquired for North American release by Lionsgate. Neither entity has yet seen the film as Soderbergh rushes to complete it. Relativity did buy back Season of the Witch (January 7) from Lionsgate, as well as college party flick Kids in America, starring Anna Faris, and Neil Burger's smart-drug thriller The Dark Fields, starring Bradley Cooper, to feed through its new distribution company, run by ex-Overture staffers. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Relativity would buy Haywire back, but that conversation is premature, I am told.
Certainly Oscar speculation about a qualifying run for Haywire (fed by an erroneous AMC listing for an L.A./N.Y. run) looks dubious at best. The movie is a gritty spy thriller written by Lem Dobbs (The Limey) and starring fighter Gina Carano as a black ops soldier on a revenge mission, with a great supporting cast including Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas, Michael Angarano, Mathieu Kassovitz and Bill Paxton. Someone who saw the movie wrote me: "Haywire is pretty fine. Very much like John Huston in his Kremlin Letter/Mackintosh Man period." McGregor is playing in essence Erik Prince, added my informant, who also admired David Holmes' "way cool" score.
Here's the Don't Be Afraid of the Dark trailer:

Only 3% of the earth's water is freshwater; about two-thirds of it is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps and we have long over-stretched this precious resource.
The world faces considerable challenges in equitably managing the freshwater available to us for a growing population as we try and manage the impacts of climate change.
From the a legal perspective this requires normative instruments that promote sustainable freshwater policies, which still needs to be implemented or even developed in many legal systems around the globe.
The IUCN Environmental Law Programme, through the Environmental Law Centre and the World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL) Specialist Group on Water and Wetlands, is responding to this need by providing technical advice in the form of legal analyses and legislative drafting to IUCN members, developing country governments and international water institutions. Furthermore, the ELP contributes to major IUCN initiatives such as the Water and Nature Initiative (WANI), whose main goal is the mainstreaming of an ecosystem approach into catchment policies, planning and management.
Only 3% of the earth's water is freshwater; about two-thirds of it is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps and we have long over-stretched this precious resource.
Water Law and International Water Governance
With the support of the Swiss Development Cooperation, the BRIDGE project (Building River Dialogue and Governance) was officially launched in 2011. This initiative drives most of the ELP's transboundary waters work. It focuses on water diplomacy and governance in transboundary hotspots and aims to ensure that reforms are coordinated across national boundaries, internally consistent and able to catalyze progress on safe water supply and sanitation. The ELC has been instrumental in the design and implementation of the project at both global level and in target regions (South America, Mesoamerica and Asia).
As a key component of the BRIDGE project, the Water Law and Governance Support Platform (WLGSP) was officially launched during the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille, France in March 2012. The Platform is designed to provide legal expertise and support on water governance issues in transboundary contexts whenever specific questions and needs arise throughout the learning and implementation cycle of water governance projects. Specific legal questions can be easily submitted to a team of water law experts from around the world.
The WLGSP is available at http://www.waterlawandgovernance.org/
Water and Ecosystem Based Adaptation
The ELP also contributes to Climate Change Governance Capacity, particularly aiming to develop good governance and local capacities to adapt to climate change through applied research, awareness raising, community participation, and by replicating effective models of integrated ecosystem approaches to water management.
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and strategies for ecosystem-based adaptation to climate changes need to be efficiently implemented, in order to ensure the provision of environmental services.
This is not an easy process and requires the strengthening of institutional capacities and flexible regulatory frameworks.
In this regard the IUCN ELP has been a world leader in breaking ground in this field.
The first step was to understand and analyze from a governance perspective, the connections and entry points within water governance and climate change adaptation. Research papers and governance studies showed that certain aspects require a legal and institutional response, ranging from flexible allocation mechanisms to legal and policy principles, methods and tools to address water quality issues.
However, major challenges remain in the implementation of the ecosystem approach and its sectorial integration. Given the fragmented development of laws and institutional structures (i.e. natural resources, water, forest and risk management) in different regions of the world, fostering good governance for water and climate change adaptation is crucial in order to bring together areas of law that are traditionally isolated.
The ELP works hand in hand with the different institutions from partner and member countries dealing with water and climate, facilitating and enabling the right environment for best implementation of existing laws.
This has been done for example, by convening and supporting the Regional Policy Dialog (RPD) on Water and Climate Change in the Americas jointly with CONAGUA (Mexico) and twenty other partners; by providing comments related to the ecosystem approach on the Chiapas Climate Change law, and to the National Climate Change Action Plan of Costa Rica; by supporting the El Salvadorian government in capacity building workshops on climate change governance; or by fostering and strengthening the joint institutional bodies between Costa Rica and Panama for joint response to climate change.
The ELP will continue to serve as a support-mechanism to community leaders all the way up to decision makers on policies, laws and institutional dynamics of different sectors dealing with adaptation to climate change.
At the IUCN World Conservation Congress, our membership stressed the importance of wetlands and their ecological functions, passing a specific resolution on this topic (WCC-2012-Res-068).
Regarding governance issues, the resolution call upon States to renew the commitment to assessing and guaranteeing appropriate allocation and management of water resources for the maintenance of the ecological functions of wetlands, and to ensuring that the principles stated by IUCN (i.e. the ecosystems approach, sustainability, etc.) are incorporated into their national policies on water resources and wetlands.
It also urges riparian States with wetlands located in transboundary river basins to work together for the equitable, reasonable and optimum utilization of water resources, and Parties to the Ramsar Convention to approve guidelines for the application of methods which facilitate assessing the water needs of wetlands for the purpose of maintaining their ecological functions and ensuring water allocation.
The ELC together with WCEL will make sure to support efforts across the Union, to make sure this resolution, particularly where it refers to governance of wetlands, is implemented.

The Better Business Bureau is warning people not to fall for a babysitting job hoax where you'd be working to pad a scam artist's pockets.
The Better Business Bureau says when people in Pennsylvania responded to a local newspaper ad for a babysitting job, they were told the job was filled. However, they were told their information would be passed onto a friend who also needed a babysitter. The Bureau says the other potential employer was located out of the country. They said paychecks should be deposited, but the sitter would need to wire a portion back to the employer.
Any time you're asked to wire money to someone you don't know, be careful. Once you've wired the money, it's gone. You may find out in a few weeks that the check you deposited was fake.

You may know Bluetooth as the wireless technology you use to connect your phone with your wireless headset or your car's hands-free speaker systems. But in the near future, you may use the wireless technology to do a lot more than that.
Dubbed Bluetooth Smart, the new version of the technology is already being used in fitness devices, including Fitbit's Force and Nike's latest FuelBand, to help track users' physical activity.
The technology is at the heart of AirDrop, a feature included in the latest version of Apple's iOS operating system that allows iPhone and iPad users to transfer photos and other files to nearby users of other Apple handhelds.
And an upcoming deadbolt lock from Kwikset uses the technology to allow owners to unlock their doors with a simple touch, rather than a key.

The technology will soon be available in health-monitoring devices, such as a blood-glucose sensor developed by Johnson & Johnson. It also might soon allow users to make wireless payments at their local coffee shop or permit retailers to identify frequent customers and send them targeted ads.
And Bluetooth proponents think it will be a key part of the "smart home" of the future, helping consumers control everything from their TVs to their thermostats.
The new technology "changes the perception of Bluetooth and what it can be used for," said Mark Hung, an analyst who covers wireless technologies for Gartner, an industry research group.
In some ways, the new version of Bluetooth is a "back to the future" moment.
When Bluetooth was first being developed nearly 20 years ago, technology experts thought it would be used for a lot more than headsets. In fact, it was initially pitched as a technology for "personal area networks."
These were envisioned as a collection of devices worn by or positioned near an individual who could interact with them through a phone or a Palm-style personal digital assistant.
But that vision never materialized. While Bluetooth is commonly used to connect wireless keyboards and mice to PCs, and has started to be used more frequently to connect phones to portable speaker systems, it's mostly been used just for hands-free devices.
That's starting to change, thanks to the updated technology, which is part of what's more broadly called Bluetooth 4.0.
The key innovation with Bluetooth Smart is that it uses very little energy. The new technology allows devices to run for weeks without needing a recharge and to send bursts of data while consuming very little power.
That makes it a good fit for health and fitness devices. Bluetooth Smart serves as a conduit that takes data collected from sensors either in the phone or in the fitness accessories and transfers it to apps on the phone where the data can be processed. The first examples of these are the fitness bands.
But soon to come are soccer balls and basketballs that have sensors and Bluetooth Smart radios built into them to help athletes track how they are shooting, kicking or dribbling and suggest ways to improve.
Part of what's driving Bluetooth Smart into new uses is that it's gained wide support among computer platforms. Apple integrated the technology into iOS two years ago. Microsoft built support for it into Windows 8. And this past summer, Google added support for Bluetooth Smart to Android.
In addition to health and fitness uses, Bluetooth Smart is starting to be used as an invisible beacon. When an iPhone makes an AirDrop file transfer, it uses Bluetooth Smart to find other nearby devices and to create secure one-to-one connection.
Similarly, the Bluetooth signal can be used to identify an individual phone user for the purpose of making a payment or sending a marketing message.
While other technologies can and are being used for wireless payments — most notably NFC, or near field communication, radios — the advantage of Bluetooth is that it's already in nearly every phone. By contrast, NFC is less widely supported and isn't used in Apple devices at all.
Bluetooth Smart also could have a future in the smart home. It's already being used in some remote controls, allowing users to change channels or turn on equipment even when it's hidden in cabinets, something they can't do with old-style infrared remotes.
And the Kwikset lock could trigger a wave of broader use of Bluetooth in home automation devices.

The first thing Primary Care Counselor Edward Mupunga says to new clients is, "My name is Edward. I am also HIV-positive and taking ARVs [antiretroviral drugs]."
Edward first came to the Opportunistic Infection Clinic at Harare Hospital as a patient. "I was very sick. You could say I was without hope," Edward said. But time and antiretroviral treatment turned Edward's despair into a strong desire to help others. "I have a passion for counseling. Now, I help others have hope because clients see that I am working and living positively with HIV," he added.
Edward is a Primary Care Counselor (PCC), part of a new cadre of workers in the national health system in Zimbabwe. PCCs are individuals with no prerequisite medical education, who are trained to fill a critical need for HIV counseling services in hospitals and community clinics. Before the advent of PCCs, severely overburdened nurses provided the majority of counseling in clinical settings in this country where an estimated one-in-five people are living with HIV/AIDS.
With support from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Emergency Plan/PEPFAR), the Zimbabwe Association of Church Hospitals (ZACH) took the lead in training PCCs. About 300 newly trained PCCs are being integrated into the health system. The PCC cadre was adopted by the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare as part of the national health system.
As a PCC, Edward is a valued member of the Opportunistic Infection Clinic team. "Sometimes, the doctor refers patients to me for counseling because he has identified a need," Edward explained. "Sometimes, I see what I believe to be a medical issue during a counseling session, and I go to discuss it with the doctor."
"Helping others keeps me going," Edward said. "Every time I counsel someone, I grow from the experience because I know that I'm helping that person face his fears and live more positively."

Boston Marathon Bombers' Uncle Ruslan Calls Them Losers In This Press Conference
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Earlier today, the uncle of the Boston Marathon bombers, Ruslan Tsarni, called a press conference to talk about the familys emotions related to the tragedy. No one was quite sure whether he would express sadness, sympathy for his nephews or confusion. Let the record show his predominate emotion was anger.
In a bristling, aggressive and awesome nine minute press conference, Uncle Ruslan took his nephews to task for their crimes, calling them losers who couldnt hack it. He also spoke of his appreciation for the United States, expressed his sympathy to each one of the victims and implored his surviving nephew to turn himself immediately and ask all of Boston for forgiveness for his upsetting crime.
In the days since the bombing, emotions have poured out in a lot of different and beautiful ways. Uncle Ruslan obviously has a very different perspective given his family connection, but in a way, hes in the same boat as everyone else. His sympathies are with the victims. Hes a caring American first and foremost.
Pop Blends sincerest thoughts go out to all the victims. Heres to hoping Ruslans nephew Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is caught or turns himself in as quickly as possible.

How can I get motivated to exercise while I'm pregnant?
I gained a lot of weight with my first pregnancy and had trouble taking it off. Now I'm expecting my second child and I really want to exercise regularly -- but I'm so tired I can't get motivated. How do other expectant moms manage to keep up an exercise routine? And do you have any tips on staying comfortable?

I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and I've found that just chasing after my little 17 month old daughter is exercise enough. I don't sleep well so I'm always exhausted, and regular exercise is actually quite painful since my hips and back are giving me such fits. Then again I decided that no matter how much weight I gain during my pregnancy, I'm going to enjoy taking walks with both of my little girls after the second one is born. I'm inclined to wait and work the weight off after the baby is born rather than risk injury to myself and to her by doing too much during pregnancy.posted 03/28/2005 by GhostMom
Kelli , I wonder the same thing all the time with my first son I was 90 pounds when I got pregnant and I went up to 200 pounds at delivery granted I lost all of it after 3 months but this time I was so paranoid I started at 116 and I am at 35 weeks 154 and most of my weight gain has been in this last month I put on 14 pounds and I am trying to get energy up to work out but I cant manage to do it I bought a yoga tape all my weight is in my tummy but I just cant seem to get energy to work out I dont gorge myself with food I just cant seem to do anything not even the yoga tape considering the fact that every woman on that tape looks far better then I or any other woman I have ever seen pregnant lol the way I am coping with it now is I will just focus on weight loss after the baby comes my doc keeps teasing me I am going to have a 20 lb baby which makes me feel a little better I just cant imagine all the weight going to my belly and no where else good luck with everything and try to hold on nothing will stop weight gain during pregnancy so Ive learned to just live with it for now and focus later on the problem areas good luck with everything !posted 03/28/2005 by laceysback
I'm a physical therapist and I didn't exercise during that first trimester because of how exhausted I felt. Once the second trimester was here, I started swimming (at the local gym) and have really enjoyed it! Swimming is the number one recommended exercise for pregnant mothers!! (My OB is a huge advocate for it) Not only does it strengthen your abdominals/shoulders/hips (whole body), but it removes the normal forces of gravity that you feel in your back, knees, and ankles with other forms of exercise. It's very easy to pace yourself and I often swim laps while using a kick board (especially since we have to monitor our heart rate to avoid it getting too high). It's a comfortable and fun way to exercise. When my friend joins me, we often end up swimming for over an hour and don't even realize it! I'm now 26 weeks and continue to swim 3 times a week. It is so nice to know I'm doing something good for my body and my baby, but it's amazing how light I feel once I get in the water, sometimes I don't want to get out!!!posted 03/28/2005 by emsmommy28
All I'm doing so far is walking my dog. I've just entered week 11 and nausea (and throwing up) has kept me pretty lethargic for the past three weeks. Still, puppy needs his walks so I'm out at least 1 hour a day, rain or shine, and I find that after the first 10 minutes or so I actually do feel energized by the fresh air. Pre-pregnancy we did more like 2 hours and I'm hoping to work my way up there as soon as I feel better in a few weeks (which I will, right?!?!). I realize walking hence isn't something new for me, but even if you're a total novice it's the gentlest (and cheapest) form of exercise there is. So look for someone with a dog in your neighborhood with whom you could join walking paths! (Plus it's good for kids to be around animals). I'm also planning to join a water aerobics class in a few weeks -- if I can only get over the apprehension about buying a maternity swimsuit. (Any recommendations on where to find a good one?)posted 03/28/2005 by saulemamma
I'm pregnant with my 4th child and I do the Leslie Sansone walking tapes. It takes about 20 minutes from warm up to cool down to do one mile. In my first trimester I did the one mile at lunch time just to keep me going. Now I do at least a two mile walk so I don't gain a lot of weight this pregnancy and it also helps me sleep better. All the exercise in the world won't help if you eat really bad so try to eat as healthy as you can stand.posted 03/28/2005 by 3kidangie
I, too, had a difficult time getting motivated. And it's not like I had to leave the house or anything. We have an elliptical trainer (cross between a treadmill and stair master) in our home. I was getting desperate for sleep and looking for a way to reduce leg cramps at night. One of the recommendations on this bulletin board was excercise. I excercise for 20-30 minutes 4-5 times a week while watching t.v. I sleep better and have almost no leg cramps at night. The other benefit: minimal weight gain. I'm 27 weeks and have gained only 14 pounds, but I know I have a ways to go yet... and there's lots of reasons pregnant women gain excessive weight . :-) Good luck!posted 03/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Kelli, I've just been placed on bed rest, may I ask you to go out and take a nice, long, walk for me today? ;-} Don't forget your water. I have this beautiful walking trail by my house, along a river. We sight see alligators, wading birds, turtles... it's so nice. I'm going to miss that terribly. Remember too, just because you gained weight with the first one doesn't mean you'll gain much with this one. It's a whole new ball of wax each time. Good luck!posted 03/28/2005 by meridith2
Kelli, I am not sure about others, but each time I exercise, I am never wanting to do it. I just do it like the old Nike ads say. It's similar to chosing to go to work when you don't want to. You just do it and do it!posted 03/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I joined an AquaMoms program at the local hospital. Aerobics three times a week, in the water, with other pregnant women. Best pregnancy advice I've been given! The water helps me feel light and graceful again, and really reduces the swelling in my feet & ankles. Plus, getting to chat with other moms-to-be is like free group therapy. Lots of advice on local pediatricians, books, health insurance, nausea remedies - you name it! Not to mention the sympathy and encouragement. No matter how tired I am at the end of my work day, I know I'll feel better the moment I enter that water. For the first time in my life, I never want to miss a workout!posted 03/28/2005 by bakingblessed
It sounds like I'm in the same boat as a lot of you women! I gained 60 lbs with my first and then lost 80+ afterwards. He'll be two in May and #2 is due in June. Now at 6 months I've only gained 16lbs because I've been working out w/videos that I used pre-pregnancy and walking. I had to completely stop exercising for my first trimester because of fatigue/nausea, so I just tried to eat healthy. Once I felt better, though, I started slow with squats and a little bit of lifting with light weights and worked up into about 35 minutes of cardio a day. Once you're in a routine, it's easier to keep it up - esp now that I'm getting comments about how good I look for being 6 months along! Just find something you LOVE to do - now that the weather is warmer I can't wait to start walking outside again, and that's something you can do w/your child, too! I've found that exercising has kept my eating more on track, too, because I don't want to pig out if I'm working hard exercising! Exercise has helped me feel better this pregnancy, and I know it will pay off afterwards, too, with getting back into shape! Best of luck!!!posted 03/28/2005 by TuneMom22

BOSTON — John Axford had been with the St. Louis Cardinals only a few weeks before they clinched a playoff spot. Axford, a veteran reliever, decided then that it was time to learn more about his new team. He searched YouTube and found old World Series clips, including Bob Gibson closing out the Boston Red Sox here in 1967.
"I wanted to take in all those moments, sort of engulf myself in the lore of Cardinal history," Axford said Tuesday. "That's one of the biggest things, that there's something bigger than yourself. There's a history here."
Axford was referring to the Cardinals, whose 11 championships trail only the New York Yankees among major-league teams. But he could have just as easily meant Fenway Park, or the larger context of the rivalry between the Cardinals and the Red Sox.
This World Series, which starts Wednesday with St. Louis' Adam Wainwright facing Boston's Jon Lester, is just the latest chapter.

"The fact that the Cardinals and the Red Sox have faced off four times now, there's a reason for it," said David Freese, the Cardinals' third baseman. "Two great organizations going at it. Nothing better."
The Cardinals won in seven games in 1946 and 1967. The Red Sox blitzed the Cardinals in four straight in 2004, riding an emotional high from their stirring playoff comeback against the Yankees. Only two players from that World Series — the Cardinals' Yadier Molina and the Red Sox's David Ortiz — will take part in this one.
Mike Matheny, the St. Louis manager, was the Cardinals' starting catcher then. He made the cover of Sports Illustrated during the World Series, sliding under a gliding Mark Bellhorn, the victim of a double play. The Cardinals never held a lead in the series.
"We just couldn't stop them," Matheny said. "It was a lesson learned. Not that our team at that point was half-stepping, or we weren't prepared, but we just hadn't been hit like that all season long, so it was a little bit of a shocker.
"What that translates into now is a lot like we talked about last year, standing in San Francisco in Game 7 and watching those guys celebrate, realizing how quickly it can get away from you." Matheny was referring to the 3-1 lead that the Cardinals squandered in the 2012 National League Championship Series. "I think that's the message we have again this year: just the urgency, first pitch."
Matheny and his players took a lot of questions Tuesday about the so-called Cardinal Way, the operating instructions for an organization that has reached four World Series, with two championships, in the last 10 years. The Red Sox, though, have now won three pennants in that span, also with two titles.
"We look to be relentless in every aspect of the game," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "And that's a mindset, an attitude we've worked hard at creating. I think that attitude has allowed us to come back from so many deficits this year and never give an at-bat away."
This is the first World Series since 1999 in which each team had the best record in its league. Both teams wrapped up their league championship series in six games, so the long-layoff factor, which has stifled some teams' momentum in recent World Series, will not apply.
Both teams have a longtime, dynamic October run producer in the middle of their order — Ortiz for the Red Sox and Carlos Beltran, who had never escaped the National League playoffs, for the Cardinals. Both teams have lockdown bullpens and starters with swing-and-miss stuff, an element the Cardinals lacked in 2004.
The Cardinals welcome Allen Craig back to their lineup as the designated hitter, after having been without him since his foot injury in early September. They will introduce their star rookie, Michael Wacha, to the World Series stage in Game 2 against John Lackey.
Wacha was the most valuable player of the NLCS, beating the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw twice without allowing a run. The Red Sox's MVP against Detroit was closer Koji Uehara, who had a win and three saves.
"I can't tell you what Uehara's split looks like," said St. Louis' Matt Holliday. "I can watch it on TV and tell you it looks nasty. But you've got to get out there and see it for yourself."
Now they are ready to do so, and with so many championships lately, the winner will face a tough decision: a new theme for its ring. The Red Sox designed their 2004 ring with a B logo on the face, and their next ring with the hanging-socks logo. The Cardinals put their cap logo on their 2006 ring, and used a bird-on-bat logo for 2011.
"Initially I was just excited to be in the World Series," said St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal. "When you learn we're playing the Red Sox, it's kind of what we've been dreaming of. Getting to play a World Series at Fenway — I don't think there is much I can compare to that in the baseball world."
