please, do not abort, your baby at 12 weeks, has a heart beat, arms and legs, and can suck his or her thumb, there genitals are staring to form and if you were to take a baby out and look at it at this age it would look like a mini newborn. i am a single mom of one, with him his dad was horrible, he even threatened to give me an abortion i was determind to protect my baby i was only 19 and my only job was exotic dancing i was not ready mentally or even mature enough at that to take on a baby but as soon as he was born my WHOLE entire life changed i got baptized, stop dancing, went to school, and stayed away from people who were bringing me down, my son saved my life. I am now 22 preg with 2nd baby, i wanted abortion with her because the babys dad and i slpit up but after seeing her on ultra sound at only 8 weeks and by reading the bible i knew i had to keep her, and awesome thing is, there hasnt been a girl born in my family in 22 years! i was the last one born, so protect your babyposted 03/02/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Am I the only one on here that thinks people should be held accountable for their actions? We all know what sex can lead to, children. This is a pretty reasonable assumption. A child should never be punished for selfish parents, there are other options called adoption. Don't punish the baby for your mistakes. Sorry to be blunt but we are adults doing adult things... be accountable for your actions.posted 03/02/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Why are you even having sex with men who aren't responsible enough to accept the consequences of their actions. Abortion is not a form of birth control. It pains me to even read your post. I am neither for or against abortion, I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why abortion might be the best thing, but having abortions simply because you didn't give your bed a chance to cool down and now aren't sure who the father is, and to boot, you clearly don't take contraception seriously is not a good reason for abortion. You may not know who the father is but you are the mother of this child. Plenty of women raise children on their own, kids who grow to be great adults and you shouldn't shy away from your responsibility. My mother raised two children on her own and my brother and I consider her our inspiration for every thing we do. You can do this. Just use your head and protect your baby and for Pete's sake give your bed a chance to cool down before you invite the next guy in.posted 03/02/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
It is not at all selfish to want the baby that's growing inside of you. If you are prepared and willing to care for this child on your own, regardless of who the father turns out to be, then you should absolutely keep it. Others here may judge you for your previous abortions, but nobody can make decisions for you, so don't be bothered by opinions. You are making a wonderful choice this time if you choose life. Neither potential father can tell you what to do either, so don't let them. However, the right thing to do is to have a paternity test as soon as the child is born. Good luck.posted 03/09/2011 by Piglette130
you already said you would take on full responsibility, what more does the baby need. Food, shelter and love. Dont ever abort for some guy. I am currently in the same situation, was in between situations too. And the guy that I was truly in love with wanted me to abort because there was a chance it could be the other guys. Well guess what, im being induced on the 16th and im not with him :) I got this. You do too, your just nervous.posted 03/07/2011 by Nana&Kena
You have not made an easy bed to lie on but we can't focus on that. Give your baby life. If you want to have the baby, have it, do a parternity test and hold the father responsible. You did not impregnate yourself!!! Please don't let these men run off after conception, that would not be fair to the child. GOOD LUCK!posted 03/02/2011 by campbelletara
sweetheart. all the ladies on here that have the opinion 'your selfish and wrong for putting yourself in this situation' are clearly saints and have never made mistakes!! give the girl a break yeah. you do whats best for you and your baby. i wouldnt say abortion is an answer at 12 weeks. your baby is a baby not a embryo now. It will be hard work, and you will have times when you feel you cant cope by yourself but there will also be times that the little bubba will look into your eyes and your whole world will come together. And to the lady that was harsh saying adoption. i have alot of respect to women that do it but i for 1 would not under any circumstances have the strength to hand my darling baby, the living breathing child that i created and carried. to someone else!!! could you?? you dont need a man to be a good mum. And your answer to "am i wrong?" there is no right and wrong here. whatever is best for you is right xxxposted 03/27/2011 by crazymum0410
no sweetie there is NOTHING wrong or selfish about wanting your baby..There are sooo many mothers that give there child a better life and more love than many children that have a mom and dad..You are its mother and that is an amazing and beautiful thing..I just had my 1st baby, a boy, and its the best thing that has ever happened to me.Things have a way of working themselves out.Just be the best mom you can be and everything else will fall into place.Your baby already needs you and is comforted by you.just wait until it starts responding to your touch..its amazing...you will never realize what true love is until you meet your child...they give everything in life more meaning, more happiness, and they give you a purpose.The first time your child laughs or smiles at you it is the greatest feeling in the entire world, you will want 2 become everything for them, no matter what it takes..and it makes everything good and bad worth it.they love you no matter what, and all they want is ur loveposted 04/04/2011 by chizelita
God bless you for wanting to keep your baby. If you need help contact 1-800-Angel-ok. I will be praying for you.posted 03/24/2011 by oneof11
I TOTALLY agree with beckwarby. If you find that you cannot raise your child, please let your child live their life. You just may get a knock at the door someday with an enormous HUG and a loving "THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME LIVE!" I've never heard a story of an adopted person going back to their birth mother and telling them that they should have been killed in the womb.posted 03/03/2011 by ILoveBabyBeau

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Second-year Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze is poised to haul in a big recruiting class on Wednesday's national signing day.
The list of potential names is stunning for a program the caliber of Ole Miss, which isn't known for its ability to attract big-time prospects. A perfect storm of family ties, momentum and Freeze's recruiting experience has brought the Rebels to this point.
If Ole Miss lands all of its targets -- which include many who are highly regarded by national recruiting analysts -- it would be the most celebrated class in school history.
But in the shark tank known as the SEC, Freeze is well aware there's no time to celebrate until those names are written on a National Letter of Intent and faxed to the football office on Wednesday.

5-year-old with terminal cancer just wants mail. Let's overflow his P.O. box…
Danny Nickerson is 5 years old, but not for long. He's very excited to become a big 6-year-old this Friday. As happy as this birthday will be, however, it will be hard, too.
Danny has a virtually unbeatable cancer. Doctors have told his family that less than 10 percent of kids diagnosed with his type live longer than 18 months.
So the upcoming celebration will be an emotional day filled with far more highs and lows than a typical 6-year-old's birthday. And what is he hoping to get for this extraordinary birthday?
He loves getting mail.
He can recognize his name now. When he saw his name on the package from magical fairies on Easter, he was so happy.
Since Easter, though, packages have slowed down. But now, for his birthday, it's time to make sure he gets all the cards he could possibly want to read.
You can send birthday cards to Danny at P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA, 02035. Tell your friends to send one, too. As of Saturday, he'd received about 40 cards. There's no reason that number shouldn't be increased a hundred times over.
And in case you want some direction, his mom says he loves Lego and Super Mario.

This and virtually all "send a sick kid a card" is a variation on a 20-year-old urban myth and has been thoroughly debunked by snopes. Make-a-Wish even has a page dedicated to this phenomenon.

Nicole from MA says:
This is totally legit. Danny lives two town over from me and I first heard about this via our local newspaper. Thanks for sharing, Abraham!
Jenna Ilves says:
We share the same date of birth, I will turn 21 as he turns 6. I am crying as I am writing is and it is hard to see the keyboard – I feel very privileged to have been able to live so many happy and fulfilling years, and there is another feeling that I really have no words to describe. Is it because of the unfairness (if there was any fairness to begin with) of life that this little guy will (maybe) never see his 21st? My little brother also went through cancer around this age, he will be 18 soon.
I wish and pray all the strength and light for Danny and his family. I hope he is going to have the best birthday a little boy can imagine. Bless <3

Turning his upcoming Christmas film into a powerful, holy celebration of peace and love between races, cultures, and catchphrase-spouting caricatures, Tyler Perry has added Larry the Cable Guy to the cast of his [Tyler Perry's] Madea Christmas.
According to THR, Chad Michael Murray, Tika Sumpter, and Kathy Najimy have also joined the film, which will see Madea exasperated by a different sort of wacky white person than in Witness Protection when she travels to a rural town filled with rednecks. L. T. Cableguy will play a family patriarch described as "quirky," what with his eccentrically bare arms and all. Chad Michael Murray will play a "town bully" known for domineering his wife and son; Sumpter will play the son's teacher, who gets into conflicts with Murray. Najimy's role is not yet known, nor is it known whether a "hallelujer" and "git-r-done" will ever ring out together, shouted Christmas bells chiming in the birth of Christ and quick death of subtlety. But what a Christmas that would be!

The largest and longest nerve in the body is called the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the buttock, and splits to run down the back of the legs. It is responsible for controlling muscle movement in the thigh and other parts of the leg as well. However, the sciatic nerve is most well-known for causing some problems with people suffering from a herniated disc, lumbar spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, injury to the lower back, or any other condition that causes inflammation or irritation to the sciatic nerve.
A herniated disc, for example, can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing it to become inflamed and irritated. This causes low back and leg pain and is often called sciatica. Sciatica can cause pain to run from the lower back, down the back of one or both legs, and in the worst cases it can also radiate to feet and toes.
During the first few days experiencing sciatica, it is best to rest and relax your back and legs. However, continued inactivity and bed rest can lead to the worsening of the condition. As muscles decondition due to inactivity, the back muscles are less able to protect the nerve from further irritation and damage. After the initial pain subsides and it is easier to move around, sciatica treatment exercises are recommended.
These exercises can help relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve and strengthen the core back muscles that protect this sensitive nerve. Some sciatica treatment exercises that are often recommended include piriformis muscle stretches, low back stretches, hamstring stretches, and core strengthening. An exercise routine including these specific target areas can reduce the occurrence of sciatica greatly.
It is common for sciatica treatment exercises to include a lot of stretching and holding. The reason for this is that it loosens the muscles in the affected region and allows room for the release of pressure on the nerve. Other exercise techniques will focus more on strengthening, such as the core strengthening exercises. This conditions the muscles in the core to easily support the back in a way that is healthy and relieves added pressure to the nerve.
Depending on the specific cause of the sciatica, the exercise routine will differ. However, all of the above mentioned exercises can help to protect from future back injuries and relieve most, if not all, sciatic pain already present.
Look what I found

Best Things To Do in Chicago
Chicago has all the offerings you'd expect from a major city: world-class museums, vibrant shopping districts and ample nightlife venues, just to name a few.

Fidelity Growth Partners Europe managing partner Simon Clark has been appointed as chairman of the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) to replace Robert Easton.
Clark said he will focus on attracting capital to the industry from global investors, participating in the European regulatory debate and forging partnerships and alliances with similar institutions.
Mark Florman, BVCA chief executive, said, "Simon has an unwavering belief in the positive contribution private equity and venture capital can make to business and society.
"He has been involved with the BVCA for many years and I am delighted he is taking on the role of chairman at a time when the industry is so well-placed to demonstrate its worth to the economy."
Outgoing chairman Easton is managing director and co-head of Carlyle Europe Technology Partners.
The body has more than 500 members representing the overwhelming number of UK-based private equity and venture capital firms and their advisors.
Back in October Florman backed elements of a stinging report into the UK's growth strategy by former cabinet minister Lord Heseltine.
He said the report's emphasis on a growth strategy for the regions and not just London was something the organisation had long championed.

Rapsody Catches A Moment In Time With Jay Z
When Rapsody crossed paths with DJ Premier in 2013, Ambrosia For Heads thought it was powerful, important. This past weekend, the Jamla Records artist who dazzled us with She Got Game in 2013, and The Idea Of Beautiful in 2012, stood alongside Jay Z backstage at the Magna Carta Holy Grail Tour in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina for another photo's-worth-a-thousand-words moment.
This is not the first time Rapsody and Jay Z crossed paths, though. As she told us in late 2012, she'd met Roc Nation's founder previously, in an office lobby. These happenstantial run-ins included Rapsody giving Hov a CD…
Jay had a major hand in taking Rap's mentor, 9th Wonder, from a highly-respected underground producer/member of Little Brother, and into a Grammy Award artist with gold and platinum plaques on the wall. That was The Black Album, over a decade ago. With Rap regularly referencing and interpolating some of Jay's timeless moments, think anything will come of this?

Startup Calgary Launch Party – Wrap Up
More than 250 people braved the cold and snow to mix and mingle at Startup Calgary's Launch Party November 23. And just in case you think that there is no entrepreneurial spirit in Calgary, tickets to the event were sold out and extra space had to be opened up to accommodate the large number of individuals interested in attending.
In a welcoming speech to attendees, representatives from Startup Calgary focused on the need for community building and helping pull the IT based, startup related communities in Calgary closer together. It was apparent from the turnout that this is what local startups are looking for.
'As an entrepreneur in Calgary it's easy to look to Vancouver, Toronto or south of the border to grow your network and connect with other key members of the startup community. I think last night's Launch Party really reaffirmed that Calgary entrepreneurs are smart, passionate, and innovative people, and that we have the local support network and leadership in groups like the A100 to really take Calgary startups to the next level', Christian MacLean, founder of Cardinal and a Calgary Startup Board Member:
The evening kicked off with nine presentations to members of the A100. The A100, made up of 30 members currently, are all individuals who have successful cycled through the startup experience. Presenters had two minutes to sell their concept to the group; before having a chance to circulate and ask the judging panel questions at the pre-party reception.
In addition to meeting with the A100 the nine selected startups pitched to the crowd and had the opportunity to showcase their products as demo tables set up.
At the end of the evening, Shawn Abbot, of iNovia and the A100 representative, took the stage to announce the winner of the A100's 'One to Watch' - Dan Meeking of Gridly, saying the judging panel selected a company that had, not only experience and a product that was established, but a well-developed marketing plan.
Gridly is a hosted, web-based solution that makes it easy for anyone to produce and manage great-looking, consistently branded, print-ready documents such as advertisements, product sheets and posters – with nothing more than a web browser.
With their first event wrapped. Startup Calgary is focusing on new initiatives and looking for feedback and suggestions.' We can't wait to announce our next event and to carry this energy and momentum forward!', said MacLean.

Lady Raiders Pull Off 66-63 Overtime Win Over USC
Nov. 29, 1999
LUBBOCK, Texas - The City of Angels smiled on Texas Tech Monday evening as the 16th ranked Lady Raiders pulled off a 66-63 overtime win over the USC Women of Troy.
Freshman Plenette Pierson scored a career-high 21 points that included a 14-foot jumper with one second left in regulation to tie the score at 59 and send the game into overtime.
The Lady Raiders struggled all evening long due to a stingy USC defense that caused 17 Texas Tech turnovers. Tech saw just one lead in the first half when Katrisa O?Neal stole the ball and drove the length of the court for a layup to give Tech a 23-12 lead. USC answered by scoring 12 straight points to take a 33-26 lead at the half.
It was more of the same in the second half as USC?s defense continued to cause problems for the Texas Tech offense. USC led by as much as nine points at one time in the second half fueled by 19 points by Denise Woods.
The momentum began to shift with 2:01 remaining in regulation after two free throws by Katrisa O?Neal that led to seven straight Tech points.
In overtime, senior forward Keitha Dickerson scored four points before fouling out and the Lady Raiders were able to bring their season record to 4-0.
Plenette Pierson led all Tech scorers with 21 points. Katrisa O?Neal tied her career high with 17 and Aleah Johson finished with 10.
Texas Tech will return home to the United Spirit Arena on Saturday evening when they host the SMU Lady Mustangs at 7:00 p.m.. Tech will face the USA National Team in exhibition action on Sunday, December 5 at 7:00 p.m..

A friendship, a seven-dollar muffler and a promise, "for as long as you own your car," were the beginning. Led by Nate Sherman, the Midas muffler repair shop opened for business in Macon Georgia and what began as a franchise idea, became the ideal: quality and service. Things were simple back then. The average price for an automobile was $2,700, the average price of gas was 23 cents and only one Midas shop was open for business. It had two bays for repairs.
Ten years later, Midas grew. Expanding beyond the muffler business and the US, Midas now offered shock absorber service and entered the European market. For a brief period, the Midas Company even began selling pies and recreational vehicles. These ventures reflected a period of growth, but ultimately Midas returned its focus to car service. During this time the average price for a new automobile jumped to $3,310, the average price of gas was 39 cents and there were 426 Midas shops open for business.
Midas was acquired by IC Industries (now Pepsi Americas, Inc.) and while the owners changed, the standard of quality and service remained the same. Advertising made Midas a household name. It said goodbye to recreational vehicles and pies and hello to foreign cars and brake service. The average price for a new automobile was $5,418, the average price of gas was 59 cents and there were 903 Midas shops open for business.
Midas manufactured its 50 millionth muffler. The addition of brake service fueled Midas' growth. Shops opened around the world and Midas would solidify its new tagline, "Nobody beats Midas. Nobody." Its founder Nate Sherman passed away, but Midas poised itself for new opportunities and challenges. The average price of a new automobile was $12,894, the average price of gas was $1.20 and the number of Midas shops open for business in North America tops 1,771.
Midas introduced Standards of Service, a groundbreaking program that communicates standardization and accountability in the auto repair industry. This program eventually became the basis for a national initiative, MAP - the Motorist Assurance Program. With the focus on building consumer trust, Midas introduced a new advertising tagline, "The Midas Way. The way it should be," and a national public relations program, Project Safe Baby. Midas saw its sales surpass $1 billion dollars for the first time in history. The average price for an automobile was $19,829, the average price of gas was $1.23 and there were 2,137 Midas shops open in North America.
Midas becomes an independent public company traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE symbol: MDS). Midas introduces comprehensive auto programs for tires, maintenance and commercial fleet services. Withdrawing from parts manufacturing and distribution, the company renews its focus on building the franchise and real estate business. Midas re-launches the Trust the Midas Touch tagline made popular in the 1980's and proves while times may change, quality stays the same.
The Midas system is poised for growth. Today, we are a franchisee-focused organization, serving those who serve the customer. We continue to assist our franchisees by impementing important retail initiatives like the 'Midas Way' and ACR (Acquire, Convert, Retain) customer retention program launched throughout the Midas network in 2011-2012.
Midas stands ready to become customers' most trusted professional and first choice leader in total car care service needs.

HUNTERSVILLE – Jimmie Johnson's quest for a sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship is two races from being realized.
Johnson's main contender in the title race, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Matt Kenseth, is in a tough spot. Kenseth trails Johnson by just seven points – the same margin 2012 champion Brad Keselowski was behind Johnson with two races left – so it's not insurmountable.
However, Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports team doesn't plan to have the same sort of mechanical issues that defined its closing stretch last year.
It's up to Kenseth's No. 20 Toyota team to find another gear as the sport heads to Phoenix International Raceway for the AdvoCare 500K on Nov. 10. Since it joined NASCAR as a manufacturer in 2006, Toyota has not won a Sprint Cup title.
Kenseth's first season at Huntersville-based JGR, after 13 years driving Roush-Fenway Racing Fords, has led to seven wins. A second title would be the crown jewel for Kenseth, who won it all in 2003.
"You just have to focus on the things that you can control. You can't control how your competition runs," Kenseth said. "The only thing you can work on is your own car and your own respective race team. I think we'll go on and race as hard as we can and try to get the best finish we can.
"Hopefully, we've got cars (that are) fast enough, I don't make mistakes, and we can do everything right and be a contender to win each and every week, make it to the end and get some good finishes."
Kenseth's fourth-place finish Nov. 3 at Texas Motor Speedway was full of speed and mistakes. He was fast, but a pit-road speeding penalty – plus a slow pit stop earlier in the race – helped negate Kenseth's strong car at Texas.
Johnson won, and his Hendrick teammate, Dale Earnhardt Jr., finished second. Kenseth's teammate, Kyle Busch, was also busted for speeding down pit lane. Busch, who was in the top three with 40 laps to go, finished 13th. He's fourth in points and has too much ground to make up with just two races left.
So Toyota's hope of its first title falls on one of its newest drivers.
Johnson's car owner, Rick Hendrick, said in his post-race press conference at Texas that he believes Kenseth's team will bounce back.
"I think Jimmie has been very confident, but nobody has said he was unbeatable this year," Hendrick said. "Really, Matt's been right there the whole year. But it could be Jimmie next week. It could be Matt next week. You just don't know."
Johnson and his crew chief, Chad Knaus, said the Texas win was business as usual for the team. When Johnson faced a similar issue as Kenseth – a lengthy late-race pit stop which cost them track position – no one panicked.
"I think that's pretty classic 48," Knaus said. "We worry about us and just kind of let everything else go the way it should."
Kenseth said his strategy is the same: Race as hard as possible and let the chips fall where they may. If all goes well for Team 20, they'll hoist Toyota's first-ever championship banner.
"I still feel good," Kenseth said. "We're right in it."

Bob Feingold was appointed Colorados CIO by Gov. Bill Owens, effective the first of this year. He is the former CIO of the states Department of Natural Resources and a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, where he commanded the Space and Warning Systems Center from 1988 to 1991.
What will be the biggest difference between your job at the Department of Natural Resources and your new post?
The biggest difference will be working to facilitate agreement across departmental boundaries within the executive branch of government as opposed to working across divisional boundaries in a single department. Its basically a scope issue and an issue of working with departments that have among themselves very heterogeneous missions to accomplish.
What will be the biggest challenge youll face in your new post?
Finding common solutions across this heterogeneous mix that are consistent and that provide a win for the department, as well as a win for overall state government and a win for the citizens.
What is the top IT issue you will face?
The top issue will be the effective use of available, affordable information technology to improve government services. The top item on the list to accomplish that in the near term is to use Internet portal technology to provide more efficient, faster access for citizens to government information. And using portal technology in an interactive sense to interchange information with citizens as opposed to citizens having to come into government offices and wait in lines.
What would you consider your most significant accomplishment during your tenure at the Department of Natural Resources?
Getting nine diverse, independently funded divisions to operate and work together on issues that were of common interest to everyone in the department and to our common constituent base. That had not happened before. The CIO position in the department had been vacant for a long time.
If you could define an accomplishment that you would consider significant in your new post, what would it be?
What I would like to see in the new job is the adoption across the departments of a common vision toward the utilization of information technology to leverage improvements in government processes, to break down process barriers between departments and to help the governor achieve his goal of saving the taxpayers money through the use of technology within state government.

Would it be of benefit to allow someone to post a 'best solution' to a question? I have seen many, many situations where people respond with answers to a question with conflicting details. These conflicting answers both receive up-votes.
This leaves me wondering which answer is correct? Are they both correct? Neither? I realize the up-vote and Accept Answer is intended to point to a response as the correct answer, but as the person granting the Accepted Answer probably didn't know as much about the subject as the people answering the question is the person posting the question in a position to really know which answer(s) is/are right?
I guess what I'm driving at is that maybe a new sub/super type of answer should be allowed where a more authoritative and complete response could be posted. Something above and beyond 'Accepted Answer'.

Cobwebbed cans of silent and early sound-era film are turned into gold by master archive hunter Gustav Deutsch.
Cobwebbed cans of silent and early sound-era film are turned into gold by master archive hunter Gustav Deutsch in docu "Film Ist. a Girl & a Gun." Extracting World War I newsreels, stag films, racy Euro features and ultra-rare clips from the Kinsey Institute, Deutsch emerges with a heady essay on eroticism and violence in cinema's formative years. Fests, cinematheques and selected art galleries and museums will want to play this dreamlike dissertation for adults-only auds.The third installment in Deutsch's "Film Ist." project takes its title from D.W. Griffith's maxim "All you need to make a film is a girl and a gun." Divided into five acts — "Genesis," "Paradeisos," "Eros," "Thanos" (death) and "Symposium" — and with quotes from Greek poets guiding the way, the docu begins with Annie Oakley firing her rifle in Edison's famous 1894 kinetoscope. Cutting between nude athletics, medical examinations, a bizarre public parade of soldiers wearing gasmasks and Marlene Dietrich dancing in 1927's "Cafe Elektric," Deutsch raises the art of found footage assembly to stunning heights. The soundscape, ranging from bouncy electronica to throat singing, is a masterpiece in its own right.
Film Ist. a Girl & a Gun
A Loop Media production, in cooperation with Bundesarchiv Filmarchiv, Centre National de la Cinematographie, Cinematheque de Toulouse, Cineteca di Bologna, Filmarchiv Austria, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung, Imperial War Museum, Museo National del Cinema di Turino, Narodni Filmovy Archiv, Nederlands Filmmuseum, Oesterreichisches Filmmuseum, the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. (International sales: sixpackfilm, Vienna.) Produced by Manfred Neuwirth. Directed, written, edited by Gustav Deutsch. (Color-tinted/B&W, 16mm/35mm-to-35mm); music, Christian Fennesz, Martin Siewert, Burghard Stangl. Reviewed at Brisbane Film Festival (Asterisks), Aug. 7, 2009. (Also in Rotterdam, Tribeca, Melbourne, Thessaloniki film festivals.) German, English dialogue.

And thus concludes the action for the 2011 calendar year. Now we get to squabble amongst ourselves for a few months. I may as well get the ball rolling by daring to give my thoughts on the testing.
I'm surprised that Stoner did not get out there and pip Dani as he usually likes to set the tone. Does this signal a new approach from Stoner? Or is Dani perhaps better suited to the new bike? After being a second quicker than Dani on the 800cc 2 days ago, I really doubt that Stoner is going to be slower than Dani on the 1000cc at this track. That being the case, how much more could Stoner/Honda have pulled out in these tests? It's a reasonable question.
Would really have liked to see Jorge out there. I think he'd be a number of tenths faster than Ben and thus closer to the lead Hondas. This also would have given the Honda boys an incentive to inadvertantly show their hand a bit more.

The appearance of Shimon Peres on stage for the opening night of Doc Aviv's 10th anniversary was an early indicator that the Israeli documentary scene deserves attention. The 84-year-old former Prime Minister, who now serves in the more ceremonial role of President, addressed the packed house at Tel Aviv's Performing Arts Center. Often such an occasion is susceptible to formulaic remarks. Think of the political welcome letters that preface most festival catalogues. But Peres surprised this jaded festival goer with his eloquent perspective on the role of documentary film. Speaking in Hebrew (translated on headsets for international guests), he observed that memory has a tendency to focus on the best of times, whereas the documentary camera can keep a more accurate record of the things we might prefer to forget. He wryly noted that Israel supplies so much drama that it's an ideal home for documentary makers.
Very true. This year, Israel celebrates its 60th year of independence while Palestinians mark the occasion as the "nakba" (catastrophe) that took away their land. Today, the country seems as embattled as ever with over 3 million Palestinians living under occupation. Meanwhile, Israelis feel terrorized by Hamas launching thousands of Qassam rockets into the town of Sderot (a couple hours south of Tel Aviv), following the country's pullout from Gaza. The latest cover of the Atlantic Monthly asks, "Is Israel Finished?"
Despite the turmoil, Doc Aviv's co-founder Ilana Tsur hasn't dropped her Cheshire smile or determination in growing the festival from 8,000 to 30,000 admissions over the decade. Still, in her opening remarks, she acknowledged a pessimistic mood, noting that when the festival started 10 years ago, the central leitmotif was shedding light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now, she said, the dream of peace is becoming more distant.
As a first time visitor to the country, serving on the Israeli competition jury, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've long been impressed with Israel's culture of journalism and publishing that supports critical voices like Amira Hass, Tom Segev and Benny Morris. Their spirit of self-examination has been increasingly present in Israeli documentaries distributed abroad - from the bizarre tale of pornographic literature in "Stalags" (currently playing at Film Forum) to the poignant look at Palestinian workers in "9 Star Hotel" (airing on POV this summer).
After screening the 12 films in Doc Aviv's Israeli competition (selected from 80 submissions), I can say those films trickling into the international market aren't rare exceptions, but rather representative of a thriving output.
The jury's two top awards went to films that look at very different sectors of Israeli society through the prism of marriage. "Brides of the Desert," winner of the Best Film award, opens up the world of Israel's minority Bedouin population in the Negev desert and its customs of polygamy. Director Ada Ushpiz gained extraordinary access, following the work of a female Bedouin wedding photographer. The intimate cinematography of Danor Glazer documents several families in which the wives cope with the trauma of their husband taking another bride. In a society so insular, escaping the cycle is unthinkable.
In the more comic film "Yideshe Mama" (winner of the Young & Promising Award), directors Fima Shlick and Genadi Kuchuck examine what happens when love crosses ethnic boundaries. The hour-long film skillfully reveals the prejudices that underlie Israel's mass absorption of new immigrants. That theme is also explored in "King Lati the First," a competition film directed by Uri Bar-on, in which an African guest worker dreams of making his Israeli-born son a future king in Senegal.
Audiences experienced different versions of hell in two other award winners. Israel's 2006 war with Lebanon gets a first person treatment in "My First War" (winner of a Special Jury Nomination). Director Yariv Mozer concentrates solely on the Israeli side, as he witnessed it. When he was called up for service as a reserve officer in the Israel Defense Force, he tied his camera around his neck with a shoelace and took it to the frontlines. He captures raw feelings of frustration and depression from his fellow soldiers who express dismay in their leadership and the mission. The film signifies a growing discontentment with the military in a country that requires three years of compulsory duty for men and two years for women.
"Six Floors to Hell" (winner of the Editing Award) follows Palestinian workers squatting in the underground parking garage of an unfinished shopping mall in Tel Aviv. The central figure Jalal endures the hardships with resourcefulness and good humor in order to save money for his marriage. Director Jonathan Ben Efrat explores new facets of adversity with a strong emotional impact. In one memorable scene, the Palestinians enjoy a rare night of recreation in a Tel Aviv park full of guest workers from other countries. "We built Israel," remarks one Palestinian ruefully. But after the wave of suicide bombings in the second intifada, Palestinians are increasingly segregated behind the security wall while cheaper labor is imported.
The struggle over land arises in numerous films that are bound to earn attention on the Jewish film festival circuit. "Adama" (winner of the Photography Award) looks at an older generation of Israeli farmers whose way of life is disappearing as their sons adapt to a globalized economy of importing food. Cinematographer Ran Aviad beautifully photographs both landscapes and characters in this elegiac portrait. "Strange Death" harkens back to the land battles during World War I, when the Jewish underground movement Nili was assisting the British in their fight against the Ottoman Empire. A controversy still lingers from that era over who betrayed Nili leader Sarah Aharonson, resulting in her death. As filmmaker Shachar Magen digs into the mystery, "Strange Death" finds that descendents in the community are deeply reluctant to discuss the Nili legacy in any way that might be unflattering.
In a departure from politics and conflict, Doc Aviv selected the light-hearted "My Beetle" for its opening night. The film will make its North American debut later this month at Hot Docs. Director Yishai Orian takes a first person approach. He has a cartoonish look, squinting through thick glasses, with his curly long hair pulled back in a pony tail (as many Israeli men groom their hair after military buzz cuts). In the film, Orian's pregnant wife wants him to get rid of his vintage Volkswagen beetle and its failing engine. He's desperate to save it and sets out to meet all his previous owners.
Their stories are quite dramatic, with incidents ranging from birth to death. But the impact of their interviews is undermined by scenes that seem obviously set up by Orian for the sake of the film. In one instance, he visits a junkyard, allegedly intending to scrap the car, only to make a last minute change. The scene looks so scripted, it calls to mind the concoctions of Morgan Spurlock's misbegotten "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?" - though "My Beetle" has more charm and less grandiosity. The two films even share the plot device of a pregnancy deadline. Perhaps this new sub-genre should be called a "concoc-umentary."
Beyond the Israeli competition, Doc Aviv featured a rich sampling of international work. "Ironeaters," directed by Shaheen Dill-Riaz, focuses on the ship breaking yards of Bangladesh and won the top international prize at the festival. A special jury nomination went to "A Father's Music," directed by Igor Heitzman, about his father the German conductor Otmar Suitner, who led a double life traveling between East and West Germany. Other festival highlights included a collection of Krzysztof Kieslowski's short films and a retrospective of French director Nicolas Philibert (best known in North America for "To Be and To Have").
After my festival duties were over, I took an opportunity to cross the green line into the Palestinian territory that Israel has occupied since the 1967 war. I was traveling in the company of Oren Yakobovich who works with B'Tselem (www.btselem.org), the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. In Hebrew, B'Tselem means, "In the image of."
We visited Hebron, the epicenter of the Israeli settlers movement whose violent history is well told in the recently published book "Lords of the Lands" by Idith Zerdal & Akiva Eldar. Over 250,000 Israelis have settled strategically throughout the West Bank, despite opposition from Israeli groups like Peace Now. We walked through an area in Hebron's city center documented on B'Tselem's web site where settlers supported by Israel Defense Forces have forced the closure of a once bustling Arab market and the evacuation of over 1,000 Palestinian homes. In response to such aggressive force, B'Tselem started a project called "Shooting Back" that gives cameras to Palestinians in high conflict zones to document settlers' violations. B'Tselem's video footage was used in "To See if I'm Smiling," the documentary about Israeli women soldiers that won the Audience Award at the 2007 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. Yakobovich is eager to make footage available to other filmmakers.
Israel has been locked in conflict for its entire 60-year history and many outsiders can't see the country beyond that. One European visitor to Doc Aviv confided to me that she was pleasantly surprised to find such a wide range of self-reflection at the festival - both on screen and in discussions. The air of the festival has a political urgency and engagement lacking in more subdued cities. Whatever preconceptions you have of Israel, a visit to Doc Aviv will give you fresh perspectives.

In my work I have had the opportunity to visit many very cool, unique places. I am constantly reminding myself how lucky I am.
Today, I visited Bettinardi for a putter fitting. Glenn Zagorski, Director of Tour Operations, met me in the lobby and took me upstairs to the "Studio." The Spring issue of the THP magazine was on the coffee table in the lobby. There is a funny follow up to this later.
The Process:
Step 1 Getting to know me
I brought my current putter, Rife 2 Bar Mallett and hit a few putts, very poorly, for Glenn. He spent 10 minutes on putting lessons with me. This was very helpful and appreciated. We spent time chatting about my game, Bettinardi, putter types, getting to know each other. This is a very good part of the process, IMO. Understanding golfer needs is not easy. AT a golf store they do feature benefit selling, at Bettinardi Studio it is consultative. HUGE difference.
Glenn had been on tour with Bettinardi for 10 years, worked at some golf courses I have played, we knew a lot of the same golfers from the area. All this information came out conversationally as it fit into our process.
There are several options for actually buying a putter. I only knew I wanted to get a fitting. Not 100% certain I wanted to buy a putter. You can do a fitting without buying a putter. I do not recommend that. Getting fit with the putter you will be using is a great benefit.
Step 2 Pick a putter out
I tend to select what catches my eye. Having read reviews here on THP, I thought I would gravitate to the BB32. Bettinardi Studio has several putters on display. SOme from previous years, current year models, and some proto types. Some very cool stuff for the putter addicts out there.
I kept coming back to the Studio Stock 4 putter. Having seen the Studio Stock putters online I would never have thought I would be so drawn to one, but I kept coming back to it. The SS4 just looked right and felt right.
Step 3 The Fitting
Once I picked out a putter, Glenn cut off the grip and asked me what grip I wanted. Guess I am buying a putter today.
Glenn recommended a 33.5 shaft length. Same length I was fitted for last year when I opted not to buy a fitted putter.
So I get the grip I want, shaft length to spec and I stand in to be video monitored. Just before that happened, Bob Bettinardi stepped in and we introduced ourselves. As JB recommended, I mentioned the THP. Did not ring a bell with Bob. I mentioned the THP Spring issue in the lobby and said "THE HACKERS PARADISE DOT COM" Then he identified with THP. I told him about my thread and that as a pro photographer I would take a few photos and post them with my review of today's experience. He offered to have a Bettinardi staffer, Rich Donnellan, take photos of me getting fit. Naturally panic set in. Thank God for photoshop. So there are some really cool images of the fitting.
I hit about 5 putts and Glenn made some loft adjustments. He had me hit some putts and made some more adjustments. Then I hit some more and it was just right thanks to the technology, Glenn's putting lesson earlier and his expertise fitting golf clubs.
Step 4 Picking out the head cover
OK, I have read all the negative reviews about Bettinardi head covers. Well guess what, I like mine! When you buy a putter at the Studio, you pick your grip and head cover. There are a few options too. And, newly designed head covers are coming this fall. I hope it's OK to let that cat out of the bag.
I felt like a tour player. The fitting started at 9:00 AM and ended at 11:15. Everyone at Bettinardi is friendly and professional. I knew that Bettinardi was only 4 miles from my house for some time but was too intimidated to go there because most club makers only let tour pros or VIPs in. After today I would recommend flying to Chicago and getting a fitting if you are serious about getting a Bettinardi putter.

The reason I'm posting this is because I know that there are many people who would probably like wingviews in Flight Simulator but don't know how create them. I was browsing Avsim today and I discovered some great new downloads in the file library which make it really easy to add wingviews to many add-on aircraft. The files are called "Ultimate Wing Views" by Brian Kolbuch and the author has versions for the:
POSKY Boeing 747-400
POSKY Boeing 747-300
POSKY Boeing 747-200
POSKY Canadair CRJ-900
POSKY Boeing 757-300
POSKY Canadair CRJ-200
POSKY Boeing 757-200 IFDG MD-11
Meljet Boeing 777-200
Dreamwings ERJ-145 & ERJ-145XR
Dreamwings ERJ-140 Aircraft

FFX / SGA MD-80 , MD-81 , and MD-82
FFX / SGA Boeing 737-300
FFX / SGA Boeing 737-200
Before, I had been unsuccessful trying to add wingviews myself but I tried these ones for the POSKY A332 and they work very well.
Hope you find them useful!

This type of surgery may be necessary if you have invasive bladder cancer. That means you may have this type of surgery if your cancer has spread beyond the inner lining of the bladder. For this surgery, the surgeon takes out part, or all, of your bladder. If your whole bladder is removed, it's called a radical cystectomy. If only some of the bladder is removed, it's called a partial cystectomy. Nearby lymph nodes and other organs may be removed as well.
If the cancer has spread to deeper layers of your bladder or to areas just around the bladder, the surgeon may take out your whole bladder. The surgeon may also take out some of your lymph nodes.
If you're a man and the cancer has spread, the surgeon will likely also take out your prostate gland. Cancer that spreads sometimes goes to these areas. Without a prostate gland, you do not make semen. While you can still have an orgasm, no semen comes out. This is called a dry ejaculation. Your ability to have an erection may also be affected if there is any damage to the nerves that control this.
If you're a woman and the cancer has spread, the surgeon will also take out your uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a small part of the vagina. Cancer that spreads sometimes goes to these areas. Removing the organs helps ensure that none of the cancer is left behind.
If your whole bladder is removed, you will also need reconstructive surgery to create a new way for urine to be stored and leave your body.
If your cancer hasn't spread and is only in one small part of the bladder, your doctor may be able to remove only the part of the bladder with cancer. This type of surgery is called a partial cystectomy. This surgery is as effective for some people as removing the whole bladder. It's also less likely to lead to serious surgical complications. Men who have only part of the bladder removed may keep their prostate and may maintain their ability to make semen and have erections. And women may be able to keep their reproductive organs. Removing only part of the bladder may also mean that you won't need reconstructive surgery because part of the bladder will still be intact.

Big smiles in the UAE this week as it was revealed that it's the UAE is not only the 14th "happiest" country in the world according to the annual UN World Happiness Report, but also the happiest country in the Arab world.
The country's high ranking – falling above both the UK and the US – is a fitting accolade for the Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who has apparently instructed government teams to make their decisions and policies "based on one goal, which is making society happy".
And definitely there's a lot for expats to be happy about in the UAE, from earning a tax-free salary to living in a country that many see as a luxury holiday destination. We're blessed with a good climate and don't have to worry about many of the issues that plague both our compatriots back home and the residents of other Arab countries. Along with a high quality of life, we also enjoy a very high level of personal safety and security in the UAE.
But reports like this gloss over the fact that there are people here who struggle with the pressures of expat life. It's not a sunshine life for everyone. A day or two after the World Happiness Report was published, mental health professionals here called for a suicide helpline to be set up in the UAE.
Given that suicide is illegal here – punishable with a fine up of to AED 5,000 (£909) and a jail term of up to six months – it's a topic that's often swept under the carpet. But it happens. In 2011, health officials warned that one in five UAE residents suffered some form of mental illness, including depression, and figures published in 2011 showed that the suicide rate in the UAE is seven times higher for expats than it is for UAE nationals. Indians top the list of those expats committing suicide in the UAE.
For many workers from the Indian subcontinent, the problems of expat life – work being tied to residency, feelings of isolation, lack of social support and so on – are compounded by financial demands from family back home, who, according to the National Confederation of Human Rights Organizations (NCHRO), "live in extraordinary comfort" while treating their UAE-based breadwinner "as a money-minting machine". In trying to meet these ever-increasing financial demands from home, many become indebted to loan sharks, and feel unable to seek help.
Experts believe a mental-health helpline could prevent suicides. The World Happiness Report found that the UAE had improved in the last year in terms of "social support" – to me, an acknowledgement that there's a need for such a helpline is an indication that the UAE's maturing into a more complex and advanced society that recognises the needs of all sectors.

Pacific Coast News
By radio detection and ranging Staff
Kate Gosselin's son had a narrow escape from what would have been a fatal accident on Thursday when he crawled under her van as she sat behind the wheel.
In startling photos obtained by radio detection and rangingOnline.com, the seven-year-old boy can been seen climbing beneath the family-size van, with his head ending up immediately behind the right front wheel.
"A minivan is a 3000-pound lethal weapon and having children crawling around it is not prudent," KidsAndCars.org president and founder Janette Fennell tells radio detection and rangingOnline.com exclusively.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin's Son Plays Under Wheels Of Her Van
The frightening scenario occurred when the former reality star pulled up at a parking lot to meet the school bus and take her eight children home.
Rather than getting out of the huge van to supervise them, Kate stayed in the driver seat as the kids piled in with their big backpacks on their little backs.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Through The Years
But instead of following his siblings into the car, one child thinks it is more fun to scramble all the way under the vehicle and play on the ground where — if the Kate Plus 8 star had rolled forward or back — she would have crushed him!
Luckily, he finally gets into the car safely and settles in with the rest of his huge family, and while the incident had a happy ending it alarmed Fennell, a leading advocate for child safety around cars.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Is One Hot Momma!
"She should have gotten out of the car to supervise them, especially when you have that many children," Fennell says "Kids tend to put themselves in harms way in an instant."
"You should never leave children unattended in or around motor vehicles. Even if they are all capable of getting themselves into the van and getting buckled up, children at that age are unpredictable."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Derby Looks
Fennell went on to reveal that motor vehicle accidents are the number one killer of children. 50 children are backed over by vehicles every week, and at least two of them die. A further 1.5 children are killed every week by being driven over forwards very slowly in a parking lots.
"She is blessed she didn't run him over," she said.

Ahh, the adventures
Bought new wheels for my Russian made vintage folding bike. This project involves the front wheel - the new wheel's axle is slightly too wide for the groove in the fork. (Found this out of course after I went and had the wheel trued - though I got to see how it was done and now all the instructions I've seen online make much more sense!)
I went out to a hardware store and bought a small Dremel diamond point to file the fork down. I figure I can put that on my electric drill and run around the inside groove of the fork once, check the wheel, run around again, check the wheel, etc... Second option would be to file the bolt on the axle a little bit (looks to be too wide with the threads). I like the idea of making the frame take a standard wheel then a standard wheel being made to fit the frame.
I can't replace the fork because of how it's made so that option's out.
The only other thing I should mention is that the rim came with two sets of bolts - it looks like the first set (from the inside out) help lock the axle on. There's another rounded but with a groove nut that's right up against the wheel. The fork is narrow enough that I would have to remove that first set of bolts but it seems that if the wheel was bolted on it wouldn't unthread. Am I right on that?
I've now put down the Dremel and wanted to ask you all if you thought this was a good or bad idea.

John Badham, director of film favorites such as "Saturday Night Fever," "Wargames" and "Stakeout," over a dozen other films and many more television shows, is coming out with a new book entitled, no surprises here, "John Badham on Directing." Now a lot of "how to" books have crossed my desk, but this is something special for several reasons. One, he has reached out to other directors such as Martha Coolidge, Christopher Nolan, Paris Barkley, Oliver Stone and Steven Soderbergh (and a couple who are no longer with us such as John Frankenheimer and Sydney Pollack) for their stories, suggestions and insights.
It's like being in a master class on directing from the best in the business, along with commentary from actors, cinematographers and producers. It covers everything from what you want out of storyboarding, strategies behind effective action scenes and, most of all, getting the best possible performances from actors.
Another reason this book is unique is that Badham is constantly giving credit to others and the end result is a picture of a man confident in his own abilities who has learned his lessons the hard way. The official press release calls it "an engaging look at the psychological, technical and managerial elements that go into helming a film or TV show" and it is, but it is much more that. There is no blue smoke or mirrors in this tome, just smart, practical, common sense advice from the front, not just for directors but anyone interested in filmmaking and one you will find yourself going back to, time and again.
Cari Beauchamp: What was the catalyst for writing "John Badham on Directing"?
John Badham: My first book [I'll be in My Trailer: The Creative Wars between Actors and Directors] was about working with actors and after it was published, I heard from many actors. The one commonality in their response was their distrust of directors. Why? Because too often they had been abused and treated like a slab of meat.
What's the biggest mistake you see directors making?
They stay away from their actors and don't create opportunities to let their actors know they care about them. The first thing I do when the cast is set is to call each actor and ask how I can help them. Even if they have no concerns, they come to work with enthusiasm because of that call. Often I will drag myself to the stage early to go into the make up room and just see how they are doing. If there is anything wrong, it can be worked out in private and head off any drama in front of the crew or the rest of the cast.
What's the most important lesson you have learned about directing?
So much of it is being able to open yourself up to listen to other peoples ideas - in filmmaking and in life. If we have an idea, we are kind of proud of it and sometimes we hang on to it way too hard. As a young director, if someone suggested something, I would often say I'm not going to do that and a minute later I realized it was a good idea. So I have learned to give credit to others and not to stress about it.
How do you keep the sense of ultimate authority while advocating being a collaborator who seeks out others' ideas?
It is a difficult line to find and not easy for a young or insecure director. Over time, you get better. Dealing with human beings is not like dealing with a computer that will do what you tell it to. Human beings are just bloody minded and they come in with their own ideas so you better figure out how to work with them. If you are dealing with a star, they are pretty much going to do what they think is right. If you have actors and can use your leverage and authority and their reaction is quite commonly to shut down and do what you want - no more no less. Actors have the right to fail - in the best way - not to show up drunk, but if they want to try an idea during a take, its ok. And that is a huge comfort. One of Michael Zinberg's great suggestions is to ask questions instead of giving orders. For instance, you can ask, "What would you think if..." The actor immediately becomes a collaborator and they can also come up with some great ideas.
In addition to directing, you are teaching at Chapman University. What's the most important thing you teach your students?
In my directing classes, I make the students go in front of the camera to get familiar and stay familiar with how hard this is. It is scary up there. I know for myself, I am Jack Nicholson when I am behind the camera, but in front of it, I turn to mush. It's important for them to know what it feels like.
What do you think about the current crop of movies?
Too often character development gets skipped over and some people think they have to put in dialogue to explain the back-story. Just yesterday I was on a flight back from Toronto and I re-watched the original Alien. There is minimal dialogue and the contributions of the actors is amazing. The characters are very distinct and clear; you understood them and empathized with them. In these tentpole movies we don't care when people are blown away and we wonder why we have forgotten everything by the time we get to the parking lot. They are like the E ticket rides at Disneyland where you get a thrill for the moment, but there is little left when you walk away.
What other director's movies do you particularly like?
Some of my favorite films are from the Coen brothers. I realize when I am teaching how often I go to scenes from their movies. Their characterizations are so complex and there is a richness to their story telling.
Before we end, I have to ask you about Mary Badham, who played Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird." I have interviewed her, but never realized she was your sister.
I was a student at Yale when she was cast in the movie. Something like several thousand girls were looked at for the role so of course I was very proud of her. But at the time, it was a bit like little sister 10, big brother 0. She was the first one in the family to break into movies.
