This was delicious. First time I've made it, the family was getting tired of the same old meals, so I thought I would try it. No left overs. Next time I will cut back on the ginger. Very good recipes.
I have cooked this many times before and just love it. I usually use chicken instead of pork though because I always have that on hand. This is a great way to add veggies like mushrooms and peppers, even carrots to a dish before they go bad. I always am looking for new things to throw these veggies in. This is excellent. I wouldn't change a thing!!
very good and easy to make. everyone loved it! will make again!

Bottled lightning (2011)
by Seth Fletcher
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Excellent. The author is a science reporter and this book is both an easy read and also informative and well researched (it was recommended to me by an academic, a Fellow of the Royal Society which says it all really). It covers the history of Lithium cells and puts flesh on the dry bones of Lithium supply. A nice choice of title too!
Reportage, much of it on batteries and lithium. Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf are Fletcher's main examples of electric cars. He of course cites air pollution and carbon emissions as reasons for lessening the prevalence of the infernal combustion engine but, all too typically, he leaves noise pollution virtually unmentioned. (Lack of attention to and consciousness of noise pollution pervades society generally.)
This is a detailed history of the lithium-oim batteery developmemt and on-going refinement. There are no photos or illustrations. There are no first-person accounts of using any of the batteries, only a few interviews with the developers about the testing, designing and manufacturing phase of making a product.
There is a a little background on early car batteries from around 1900 to 1915, and again about the GM EV1. But there is nothing at all on hybrid autos, especially nothing at all on nickel-metal hydride batteries that power most high milage autos today.
The focus of the book is lithium batteries and ristricts topics directly addressing that battery, or tries to. However the author does stray in the end to sulphur and silicon.
For a history of the lithium electrode in batteries, this is a good reference.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0809030535, Hardcover)
The sleek electronic tools that have become so ubiquitous—laptops, iPods, eReaders, and smart phones—are all powered by lithium batteries. Chances are you've got some lithium on your person right now. But aside from powering a mobile twenty first-century lifestyle, the third element on the periodic table may also hold the key to an environmentally sustainable, oil-independent future. From electric cars to a "smart" power grid that can actually store electricity, letting us harness the powers of the sun and the wind and use them when we need them, lithium—a metal half as dense as water, created in the first minutes after the Big Bang and found primarily in some of the most uninhabitable places on earth—is the key to setting us on a path toward a low-carbon energy future. It's also shifting the geopolitical chessboard in profound ways.

"Did you know that the tools that have become absolutely integral to your life--our laptop, iPod, and cell phone--re all powered by lithium batteries? Chances are you've got some lithium on your person right now. The third element on the periodic table may also hold the key to an environmentally sustainable, oil independent future. From electric cars to a "smart" power grid that can actually store electricity, letting us harness the powers of the sun and wind and use them when we need them, lithium--metal found only in some of the most uninhabitable places on Earth--setting us on a path toward a carbon-free future. It's also shifting the geopolitical chessboard in profound ways. In this illuminating, entertaining, and timely book, the science reporter Seth Fletcher takes us on a fascinating journey, from the salt flats of Bolivia to the labs of MIT and Stanford, from the turmoil at GM to cutting-edge lithium-ion battery start-ups, introducing us to the key players and ideas in an industry with the power to reshape the world. Lithium is the thread that ties together many key stories of our time: the environmental movement; the American auto industry, betting it all on the electrification of cars and trucks; the struggle between first-world countries in need of natural resources and the countries where those resources are found; and, finally, a foundering American economy, desperately searching for a green-tech boom to revive it"-- "An exploration of the rise of lithium batteries and the impications of the new energy economy"--… (more)

Fans Want Kandi Burruss on Glee — Playing THIS Role!
We all know that Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes has been doing a bang-up job playing Coach Roz on Glee. But based on your votes, you also want to see RHOA star Kandi Burruss on the show — and you have a very specific role in mind for her to play!
Last month, we asked you to choose which other Real Housewives star besides NeNe you'd like to appear on Glee, and the results were overwhelming: Kandi received over 80% of the vote, with the next-highest vote-getter being former RHOA star Kim Zolciak at a mere 7% of the vote. Go, Kandi!
Then, we asked you to tell us which role Kandi should play. Again, there was a clear favorite, as 37% of you think Kandi would be best suited to play a songwriting professor at NYADA, the elite NYC arts school where Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) are currently students.
Your runner-up choice for Kandi is to play a rival choir coach competing against McKinley, which 24% of you voted for. This role would find her sharing scenes with the likes of Blaine (Darren Criss) and Sam (Chord Overstreet). Rapper Eve had a similar role back in Glee Season 1, when she played a rival choir coach named Grace Hitchens.
You're less excited about the idea of Kandi playing a rival cheerleading coach or an NYC record exec. Those choice got 17% and 16% of votes, respectively. The least popular suggestion was that of Kandi the couple's counselor. That choice got only 4% of votes.
We're actually not surprised that you want to see Kandi play a songwriting teacher, given that Kandi herself is a top-notch tunesmith who has penned such hits as "No Scrubs" and "Bills, Bills, Bills," both of which Glee has already performed. Speaking of which, there are still five songs of Kandi's that we want Glee to perform.
Do you agree that Kandi would make a good screenwriting professor? Or would you rather see her playing a different part?

Cathryn Berarovich is something of a renaissance sex worker; she's currently employed as a stripper (and writer) but has held numerous interesting jobs in the industry. Each week, she shares her stories in Harlotry.
My bio says that I'm currently employed as a stripper, but this is not entirely true: I've been on vacation from work for several months now and we strippers, like all independent contractors, can't be considered employed unless we're actually retained by a club.
There are two reasons for the length of my vacation from work.
The first is the most straightforward. I live in Chicago, a city known for its incredibly restrictive adult business laws, and I don't know how to drive. While this city was once full of strip clubs, titty bars, and peep shows, those days are now nothing but a distant memory. Corrupt as local politics can be, we try to present a squeaky-clean front to the rest of the world and that means no naked ladies. Because of this, most of the local strip clubs are in the suburbs and therefore out of my travel range and the three clubs in the city are overcrowded and therefore very, very picky.
The second reason for my protracted vacation is much less straightforward. The choice to quit for a while mostly had to do with the fact that I was miserable at my club, a place where the floor was deliberately kept cold according to the owner's belief that low temperatures would encourage us to be pushier about selling dances. Actual cash with which to buy things and maintain a standard of living was not, apparently, a sufficient incentive. After I was briefly suspended for making jokes about murder that were deemed too dark for the smoking area, I decided enough was enough and I probably didn't need to go back. I had no need of a workplace that called me an independent contractor but wouldn't let me make mildly twisted jokes.

GOP Rep Michele Bachmann, who is quite the colorful character, wants an answer: Is Obama secretly in favor of getting rid of the dollar and replacing it with a multi-national currency?
Bachmann is jumping on a claim yesterday by Tim Geithner, who temporarily seemed to suggest yesterday that he's open to a Chinese proposal to replace the dollar as the global currency, before walking it back. She blasted out a release demanding that Obama come clean about his intentions and say whether he agrees with Geithner:

THE ASSOCIATION of herpes zoster infections with diseases of the lymphoma group is well known.1-3 Less frequently reported is the occurrence of such infections in the course of multiple myeloma. The purpose of the present communication is to report the occurrence of generalized herpes zoster in a patient with multiple myeloma, and the apparent beneficial effect of human gamma globulin upon this infection.
Report of a Case
A 50-year-old white man was admitted to the hospital with a generalized skin eruption of 8 days' duration. The diagnosis of multiple myeloma had been made 2 ½ years prior to this admission on the basis of multiple osteolytic bone lesions, anemia, bone-marrow plasmacytosis, hyperglobulinemia, and a serum protein electrophoretic pattern which showed a prominent homogenous peak in the gamma globulin fraction. The chief symptom was upper back pain caused by collapse fractures of the fifth and sixth dorsal vertebrae. Treatment consisted

Help him! Help him!
Catch-22 is brilliant. Mike Nichols's direction is so lucid and evocative (not to mention surprisingly technically deft—note the incredible tracking shot at the beginning of the film). I'd seen it a few times, and used to think it paled in comparison Joseph Heller's now-iconic novel (one of my all-time favorites). But having re-read the book not too long ago, I was struck by how some of Heller's humor seemed forced, whereas the film — and this was one of its major criticisms when it was released in 1970 — is darker, moodier and lacks this willfully lighter tone. I think it works better this way, frankly.
The film is a child of its time, as the novel was as well. Vietnam, Kent State and all the other violent upheaval between opposing forces of humanity, economics, race, politics, you name it. Yes, war is hell. And as such, often gets unfairly compared its contemporary M*A*S*H*, a universally-recognized classic. But the latter, also an exceptional satire, withholds most of its vitriol, which is probably why it made the incredibly successful transition to television a few years later.
Catch-22 has much more to say about warfare and its bastard children, such as corporatism and social engineering, as a way of illuminating truths about individuality and morality. That makes it a superior work of art.

Twelve years gone
I find that slowly my anger, like a stone rubbed smooth in a river, becomes reflection and sadness.
Posted in screenwriting
Oh, the humanity
Here's an amazing collection of behind-the-scenes shots of the Empire Strikes Back cast and crew. Although you wouldn't know it from the smiles and off-camera mirth that it was a difficult film to make.
Straight and narrow
Quick, before it's gone, check out Pulp Fiction, re-cut in chronological order:
Right after I saw the film for the first time, I tried to reconstruct the events in my head as they would have happened. It hurt. Later, when it came out on DVD, it was an easy matter of skipping to the correct scenes. I have to say it made for an uninteresting experience, and I'm not quite sure why. It's not like Pulp Fiction is as thematically deep as say, an Ingmar Bergman film, or as avant garde as something sprung from the mind of David Lynch. Quentin Tarantino just isn't that kind of filmmaker. What you see are three episodic short films that have a tenuous link to each other: Vincent and Jules and the briefcase, Vincent and Mia Wallace's date night, and Butch and the gold watch.
I recall reading somewhere that Tarantino's intention was to cut the film chronologically, but that his co-writer Roger Avery or perhaps his editor (and subsequently frequent collaborator until her timely death), Sally Menke, convinced him to make the switcheroo.
The conceit is gimmicky, but I'll be damned it works. You see more of Samuel Jackson's iconic character and his radical transformation becomes a much stronger denouement to the film. Here, Jules drops out of the picture before the midway point, never to be seen again. I suppose the film could have ended right there and it would still have resonance as its own, dark and quirky gangster comedy.

Holiday special, part 2

Jingle time
Let's face it, most Xmas music doesn't represent anything new or artistically interesting. Classics and traditional songs tend to be stale in their didacticism. And the holiday-neutral tripe is nothing more than bland confection.
This is perhaps the greatest artistic expression of the holiday. Even if you disagree with the intent or meaning, this song has something to say. Listen.
The song concludes with the best lyric:
Hallelujah Noël, bet it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve
Merry Christmas.

In the beginning
So the world wide computer web network is abuzz with this, the teaser trailer for Ridley Scott's Alien prequel film with the foreboding title Prometheus:
OK. No need to reach for a box of tissues. Yeah, it's good eye candy and has some potentially terrifying moments, but not much else to go on. The film's release is several months away, however it's been talked about for several years. I'm just hoping it's a great ride, full of surprise and terror and excitement, and doesn't get gunked up with a moralizing "don't mess with nature" story.

Holiday special
For me, Christmastime is an annual learning event.
It used to be all about travel and family and large group drama. Or contrived religious observances that had little meaning or fascination for me. Or a mad dash around the shopping circus to identify, locate and acquire stuff. Or solitary—and yes, welcome—plunges into days-long alcohol binges.
Then one day, I said, "Fuck it. Christmas is whatever I want it to be." And every year, while I feel the pull of family drama, or commercialism, or boozy solipsism, I get to learn this lesson all over again.
In other words, make your holiday holy to yourselves. Otherwise, don't bother and just sleep in.

Underground New York moment
New Yorkers can make subway commuting utter hell, but on those rare occasions when a spark of a New Yorker's true character comes out to wake us from our blank faced torpor, it can be an amazingly affirming experience why this is the greatest city in the world.
Yesterday, two OWSers, young white dudes, boarded my subway car. Immediately one start his shpiel at an unpleasantly loud volume. If you've heard the beggars and the bible freaks on the subway, you'll know the tone. I don't want to hear this shit on my way home. No one does, but especially from a yahoo like this guy.
Anyway, he goes on about how OWS got forcibly ejected from Zuccotti the other day, 200 people were arrested, including a "NY Councilman, a Mr. Jimenez who represents… I don't know… somewhere where they speak Spanish."
"Somewhere where they speak Spanish" Huh??? This asshat just glibly dismissed oh, around 30% of the city's population. Not to mention made the racist assumption that because Jimenez is a Hispanic name, he must of course represent a Spanish-speaking constituency.
I wanted to call this little shit out on this, but figured he'd turn it into some race-baiting argument. Turns out I didn't have to, a black man on the car starts telling him that his comment was rude and offensive. "How can you say that?" he says. A older Hispanic woman next to him is smiling and nodding in agreement.
I turn and to hear more protests from others on the car. A young woman in that richly expressive Hispano-urban accent saying something about him not "knowing shit about New York." A few Spanish curses from somewhere.
Meanwhile, instead of retreating to another car, our genius is getting irritatingly defensive: "Offended? Who's offended? Raise your hands if you were offended." This just irked more of the passengers. One woman, bless her heart, pointed right at the fool, looked him in the eye and said, "He is a City Councilman. You should have KNOWN where he's from!" I started clapping. More cheers.
The subway arrived at my stop and unfortunately had to go. I would have loved to find out what transpired. On my way out the door, clapping as I go, I heard more applause behind me.
I fell in love with my fellow New Yorkers once again. I loved how they called this useful idiot out on his ignorance, refusing to tolerate his self-righteous tone. New York City may not be the freest city on the planet, but certainly the proudest. Here's to you, fellow 7th Ave subway riders.

We are start up and we provide software development services. We develop windows, web, services and mobile applications. We were aware of agile and we are scrum certified developers . We do user story based estimation and task planning. No issues.
We are approached by many small customers. Customers says very high level features or few words about the concept of their dream project. They asks for Effort Estimation and Cost Estimation. Mostly they are interested in Cost.
For each customer we did create the user stories and estimated the user stories and based on story points, we estimated the effort in days and we convert the days to the cost based on hourly rate. We involve the team of 3 or 4 people and get the estimation done. We spend at least 20 to 30 hours of team total time for estimation. (Team of 4 discussing for 5-6 hours)
The problem is that many customers would never turn back. We do not want to spend 20-30 hours of team effort. We don't want to use the exact user story estimation that we follow for contract signed project.
What could be done in order to provide approximate estimate for small customers with small business?

Christopop wrote recently in a comment that I write "rants against every aspect of modern education" which is the sliver of excuse I need to touch on that subject yet again. Under the headline, "Universities told to favour poor schools" is an article in today's Sunday Times to the effect that pupils from failing schools are to be given preferential treatment as far as admission to our universities is concerned.
On Tuesday, the National Council for Educational Excellence will put out a report, saying that universities must take into account "contextual data" about the performance of a school's A level pupils – in other words, a B from a failing school should trump an A from a leading independent.
I was struck, though, by the intention of this report, which is in effect to find a way of getting more children from poor backgrounds into universities. There were two very telling statements, namely: "The report will argue that pupils from the poorest families are being let down by the state school system. It will present new research showing that 11-year-olds from poor families with the best test results are only half as likely as those from better off households still to be higher achievers when they reach the age of 14″, and "There is a massive gap in your chances of going on to higher education depending on what socio-economic group you belong [to] and there has been hardly any improvement in this situation."
Surely the solution is so blindingly obvious that even these people cannot miss it: bring back the grammar schools. In the bad old days, when the grammar schools were derided for taking a disproportionate number of children from the middle classes, they still took enough from what would now be termed disadvantaged socio-economic groups to make a difference – a real difference – in terms of both social mobility and life-chances for these young people. Look at what they say about 11 year olds – they have, in spite of their humble origins, gone to a middling primary school (and it should not be forgotten that primary schools are very much smaller than secondary schools) and done well for themselves. Then, it is time for them to transfer to high school. Those who live in leafy suburbs can be reasonably sure, unless they have a crackpot council like Brighton that has introduced lotteries for school places, that their children will go to a good-ish secondary school.
Those, however, who live on what I shall for the sake of shorthand term the council estate, will be stuck with the local comp that is either failing or in special measures. Of course it is possible for a child to succeed in such an environment – but how very much more difficult to do so, than in an environment where academic success is taken for granted, and it is not so much a question of whether you will go to university, as which university you are thinking of.
There is further dismay from those at the top that the examination boards are introducing an A* grade at A level, and they have asked the universities to hold off until 2012 making offers based on them. The dismay is caused entirely by the fact that they know as well as anyone else that the A*s will be awarded in far greater numbers to those in the independent sector than to those struggling in the politically correct state-run sixth forms across our country. As I have had daughters in both sectors, I have observed at first hand how this works.
In an independent school, there is no fear of taking what might be termed the "hard" option, whether IGCSEs, separate sciences, or the more challenging literature set for any exam. In addition, most private schools eschew such subjects as media studies, and although they may offer psychology and sociology due to popular demand, they are quite ruthless in directing their brighter students away from such subjects.
It is worth considering what the National Council for Educational Excellence, which has not even been going for a year, was set up for. According to the Department for Children, Schools and Families' own website, "the Council will act as advocates and champions to transform expectations for the education system and advise the Government on strategy and measures to achieve world-class education."
Leaving aside the fact that a department for education has a little difficulty with agreements – had I wished to publish the above sentence, I would have inserted the word "members" after Council – the emphasis seems to be on creating a "world-class education". While the figures at home can be tweaked, it is a little more difficult for our scheming, standard-lowering, equality obsessed government to pull the wool over the eyes of those who draw up tables of international levels of achievement.
The criticism levelled by Alan Smithers, Professor of Education at Buckingham university, that "Discrimination of that kind will undoubtedly weaken our universities and make it harder for them to compete in the world league" is surely justified. Even Anthony Seldon, hand in glove with Tony and an advocate of payment for education by middle class parents, says, "The real effort ought to be to bring up the standard of state schools to independent schools."
I went to a state grammar school. It was magnificent. In terms of education, it was at least as good as the independent school that my son and daughter attended. The difference for me was what you might term the extras – my school most assuredly did not have a chapel, even though it had an outstanding reputation for music. Nor did our teams ever compete beyond the British Isles. But these are fripperies. It is time that every child in this country should be able to hope for the best education the state can offer. The problem is, though, that the best for one child will not be the best for another – and that is the challenge the government has yet to address. Dumbing down exams merely exasperates and disaffects the brightest: it does not make those at the bottom of the educational heap brighter, no matter how many hurdles are removed or entry levels lowered in order to accommodate them. It is time the government faced up to the fact that the bright child, from absolutely any background, is a treasure that this country cannot afford to squander.

Traffic Enforcement Unit Focus on Poor Driving Behaviors
Each month, the Santa Monica Police Department's Traffic Enforcement Unit focuses on different driving behaviors that are primary causation factors for traffic collisions. In May, the Traffic Enforcement Unit will focus on unsafe speed violations.
The California Vehicle Code - Section 22350 Laws Applicable to Basic Speed Law:
No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.
Santa Monica PD Captain Carolin Larson wants to remind everyone that while the posted sign will state the speed limit, the conditions for the road may warrant a lower speed. For example, when it is raining or foggy, a driver may need to drive slower than the posted speed limit to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the roadway. Practicing safe driving for the present conditions is key.
For more information, please contact Sergeant Phillbo Rubish with the Santa Monica Police Department's Enforcement Unit at (310) 458-8950, or Lieutenant Jay Trisler at (310) 458-8471.

"Jack right. Act 4. Five-eight-five."
In plain English, please?
"Play-action," says Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. "Throw to Gates."
The kind of play you'd want to run all day long. Indeed, it's basically a play the Chargers have been calling on and off for more than three decades, dating to the first set of X's that Don Coryell handed Dan Fouts to go get the helpless O's running around in circles.
"Sounds familiar," says Fouts. "I don't know about the Jack-right stuff, but the rest of it's pretty similar to what Don had us doing, like the 5-8-5 part."
This pleases Rivers to no end.
"How cool is that?" he says. "To get to call the same play on the same field with a lot of the same terminology that Dan Fouts used? To me, that's pretty neat."
Neat, yes. Effective, too. Historically so.
Not only because of the sun-splashed, pass-friendly city where they play, but also because of the way the Chargers have Rivers spreading the ball around to an extraordinary array of receivers of all shapes and sizes, it's only natural to note the football DNA that's been handed down from Sid Gillman to Coryell to Norv Turner (via Ernie Zampese).
"The system has evolved," says Fouts, who worked a half-dozen Chargers games this season as a CBS analyst. "Norv's taken it and massaged it and watered it and set it. He's added to the Coryell system.
"That's what all good coaches do. You can't stand pat. That's what made Coryell so great. He was always tinkering, changing something to make it better."
The 21st-century Chargers are still striving to do better than Air Coryell in both the statistical sense and the ultimate sense, the latter being a berth in the Super Bowl, something that eluded the offensive juggernaut manned by Fouts and Kellen Winslow and Charlie Joiner and John Jefferson and Wes Chandler.
"I grew up on the West Coast, so those were the guys I grew up watching," says Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. "Man, they were loaded."
Rivera saw Air Coryell from a different perspective as a rookie linebacker with the Chicago Bears. He recalls the awe he felt just watching film in preparation for a 1984 game at San Diego.
"You saw Coryell's dynamic approach to attacking defenses, getting the ball upfield, the fast pace they played," Rivera says. "When you talked about the Chargers, you talked about the points they scored and the great players they had."
Unstoppable as they were in the regular season, though, something always went horribly awry for those Chargers in the postseason. Coryell won division championships in each of his first three full seasons with the Chargers, same as Turner, and Air Coryell made it to two AFC Championship Games. These Chargers are one win away from their second conference-title game in three years under Turner.
Air Coryell amassed more yardage and more points on average despite the fact that rules have since been implemented to facilitate the passing game. Those changes enable Rivers to throw deeper downfield to his big targets — 6-foot-4 Antonio Gates and 6-foot-5 wideouts Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd — which plays into Turner's obvious love of the vertical passing game.
"Rivers has completed so many passes up the field, it's unbelievable," Zampese says. "Everybody else has been throwing the ball short and running with it. That was Bill Walsh's deal: Throw short and run with it.
"Norv is doing some of the things we did back then. He's molded them back into what he likes to do and doing things his players can do."

Several staff members of West Lauderdale Elementary School gathered at Okatibbee Lake for a special cause Tuesday morning.
Kennedy Gunter, a first grade student at West Lauderdale, has a form of blood cancer.
The staff participated in a 5K walk to raise awareness in hopes that a cure is found.
Letitia Banks, a gifted teacher at the school, says it's important for the community to stand behind students.
"These families go through a lot and they need to know that the community is supporting them," said Banks. "And also, our school wants to show people that we work as a team to support the people in our community."
So far, over $3,000 has been raised for Kennedy.
If you would like to make a donation, an account has been set up in Kennedy Gunter's name at The Citizens Bank in Meridian.
The walk was also held in remembrance of former teacher, Sherryl Boatner.

I am curious if anyone else has noticed a trend over the past year or so where people (I have nobody specific in mind) in the search marketing business seem to increasingly gravitate towards becoming a "SEO celebrity". It's a bit like like moths to a flame, really.
A while back, I had a search marketing job candidate answer the, "Where would you like to be in 2-3 years?" question with, "I want to be a famous SEO". "Why?" I would ask. "Because that's my goal". Fair enough, but it'll be tough to pay the bills with a wallet full of famous.

Important news for coastal residents or for people who have property there; a bill that delays planning for rising sea levels will become law in our state.
Governor Perdue said she will allow the sea level rise bill, which has been the source of some controversy, to become law by not vetoing it. Some critics worry the bill will put homes and businesses on the coast and in low-lying areas at risk of flooding.
The bill was backed by coastal developers, according to a report by Reuters, and it calls for additional study on climate change data and blocks state agencies from making sea level change policies until 2016.

Portland True to Its Audiences: "Joe" and "Harmonists" Take Prizes
By Jeff Winograd
"This is not a festival for the industry, this is not a festival for the press," Festival Director Bill Foster proudly proclaimed. "This is a festival for the local community." Many festivals are a chance for filmmakers to be seen and make deals, but a few remain true to their audiences. The Portland International Film Festival (Feb. 12 - 28) is dedicated to its audiences and makes a concerted effort to serve them well. Foster doesn't even like to think of the festival as its own entity. To him, the festival is just another part of the ongoing programming of the Northwest Film Center. (The Center offers classes in film production, seminars for the filmmaking community, and runs a year-round program of films.)
The 22nd Annual Portland International Film Festival included 62 features and 30 short films with sections for first time directors and a special section this year, '2000 Seen By,' which focused on the coming of the year 2000. The overwhelming focus, however, was international films. "American films never play as well for us as the foreign films," claims Foster, though he isn't exactly sure why. It isn't for any lack of quality; Sundance favorite "Three Seasons" screened as did the Sundance competition film, "The Adventures of Sebastian Cole," Hal Hartley's newest project, "Book of Life," and the much-acclaimed Paul Schrader film, "Affliction." Programmed by Foster, the festival is "more than 90% invitational," so it is imperative that Foster keep his ears open for films that play well at other festivals around the world.
Several awards were given out as part of this year's festival, the most prestigious prize, the Blockbuster Audience Award, was shared between Ken Loach's "My Name is Joe" and "The Harmonists," directed by Joseph Vilsmaier, which tells the story of a singing group during the rise of the Third Reich. Tony Bui was again praised for his work on "Three Seasons" with the New Director Award. The prize for Best Short Film went to Daniel Greaves' "Flatworld."
At Portland, however, the focus remains on the audience. When directors are asked to participate, it is so that audiences will have an opportunity to interact with them, (and not to merely promote their films.) In attendance this year were "Fishes in August" director Yoichiro Takahashi, Tod Williams of "The Adventures of Sebastian Cole," Tony Bui from "Three Seasons," as well as Mweze Ngangura of "ID." Several distributors sent representatives to the festival, but nothing like the circus that can erupt around such events as Sundance or Toronto. "There is no acquisition buzz to contend with," said Tod Williams, who prefers the environment at a festival like Portland. "It is all about the movies."
All the way from the Republic of Congo, Mweze Ngangura is not terribly selective about festivals, because he feels that each festival offers him "de bouche à oreille," meaning word of mouth. The Portland fest, like the many other festivals around the globe, according to Ngangura, helps build an awareness for his films all around the world. "ID" is the story of an African King who goes to Belgium to find his long lost daughter. Although the story is very place specific, its themes have a universality that stretch far beyond Belgium. His was just one of the excellent films from Africa to be shown at this year's festival. Others in attendance included "Life on Earth" from Mali, "Bent Familia" from Tunisia, and the brilliant "Commedia Infantil" from Mozambique.
It is always difficult to summarize the supposed best of any festival. The crowd in attendance this year had tastes that varied greatly. "I Stand Alone," the disturbing film from France's Gaspar Noe, led many people's list of favorites and yet others, including a local critic, chose to walk out of this dark melodrama. "The Powder Keg" from Yugoslavia and "Innocent" from Turkey both inspired similarly divergent reactions. Two films from Great Britain, award winner "My Name is Joe," and "My Son the Fanatic," written by Hanif Kureishi, were both widely appreciated. The powerhouse documentary, "Photographer," which tells the story of the Holocaust ghetto through a collection of color slides taken at the time, was also praised. Other strong showings included Erick Zonca's "The Dreamlife of Angels" from France, the Russian parody "The Outskirts," directed by Peter Lutsik, and the beautifully told "Tomas et Juli," directed by Ildiko Enyedi.
The four shorts programs were generally quite strong. As is often the situation in these showcases, there were some films with little to offer, while quite a few used the medium well. David Fourier's "Majorettes in Space" manages to satire the Pope, sexuality, puberty, all the while making a potent statement about AIDS. Dario DeLuca's "La Lettera" is a beautiful adolescent love story told brilliantly through strong black and white photography and creative use of the camera. Elizabeth Schub's "Cuba 15" tells the story of a Cuban girl having her "quincenera," (her socially important fifteenth birthday) and the changes this brings to her life. Director Matthew Harrison had a nice showing with his humorous look at a film set interruption in "Bystander From Hell."
Interspersed with the intensely human shorts were quite a few animated pieces. Most of these showed great technical prowess and were intensely interesting to look at. Unfortunately, this year's animated shorts were mostly devoid of any sort of strong story. Even the award-winning "Flatworld" seems to rest more on look than substance.
Some audience members complained that they weren't able to see every program. Some wanted the festival to run more programs in a day. Though everyone can't be pleased, one of the most notable elements was the camaraderie created by audience members. At each screening, festival regulars would gather in the aisles before showtime, compare notes on the latest screenings, and discuss upcoming schedules. Portland is a unique environment and Bill Foster creates a strong program that offers something for everyone. For director Tod Williams, watching is all that matters, "Even if I lose everything, even if I didn't make a penny on my film; festivals would be an opportunity to have someone see my film." And watching film is the only thing that matters here in Portland.
[Jeffrey Winograd is a writer/director living in Portland, OR. He recently co-created and directed the Sundance Trailers for this year's festival.]

I suggest you begin with the Chase Bank headquarters to assist you in working with the Branch bank of deposit in tracking whose account that went to. Here is that contact information - ask for their fraud department. They should be able to track this to the person who deposited the money and work to bring criminal charges and perhaps, recoup your money.

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
I can see by the way it is attached to the watch that there is a good safety net of protection from losing the watch in the event one of the pins that secures the band to the watch fails. However, it would have been nice to have been informed that the band stretches when wet! I wore in into the pool for scuba training and although it was tight and secure when I entered the water, after it got wet it almost slid off my wrist because it had stretched so much. I had to sinch it up a notch or two more to re-tighten the strap on my wrist.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
422 out of 887 people found this review helpful.
First time Ive ordered through Scuba.com and I will NOT be the last. A very positive experience from beginning to end. Watch is excellent - very stylish yet very functional as well. The only problem is the strap is not quite long enough to fit around a 5mm wetsuit. Had to order another band so It will. Other than that a great looking watch.

What is Multiple Myeloma? What are the Symptoms & Risk FactorsSunny Chanel
Geraldine Ferraro lost her battle with multiple myeloma this week. The political powerhouse who was also a teacher, a lawyer, a writer and a mother had been fighting multiple myeloma for the last twelve years. But as many heard the news today of her passing, a large percentage wondered what multiple myeloma was in the first place. What is this serious disease and what are the symptoms and risk factors and should you worry about it for you and your family?
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that is caused by malignant plasma cells. Our plasma cells those that are normal are found in our bone marrow and play a big part in our immune system. When someone has multiple myeloma there is an overgrowth of plasma cells in the bone marrow and can basically "crowd out the normal blood-forming cells." Anemia occurs which is a shortage of red blood cells. Also someone suffering from the disease can have the condition leukopenia which is a shortage of white blood cells, therefore making it harder for them to fight infections.
As for symptoms, it greatly varies from person to person. As the onset of the cancer processes the following are some of the symptoms that they may be struck with:
– Pain in bones like in the back, pelvis, head and ribs.
– The patient will have the presence of abnormal proteins that can be discovered in blood and urine testing.
– High levels of calcium in the blood, which happens when the bones affected by the disease dissolves into the blood stream which results in a strong thirst, frequent urination, constipation, loss of appetite, nausea and confusion.
Other symptoms include anemia-related fatigue, odd bone fractures, getting frequent infections like sinusitis, bladder and kidney infections, pneumonia among others, losing weight and getting weakness in your legs.
Some of the risk factors that increase the odds of having the disease include being over the age of fifty, men get it more than women, the black community is twice as likely to develop it, and being overweight seems to be a factor as well. Exposure to radiation also increases the odds.
But as we can see with Geraldine Ferraro, you can be out of the standard profile and still get the disease. Were you familiar with Multiple myeloma before Ferraro's passing?

American Idol
Watch Candice Glover Sing Emile Sandé's "Next to Me" on American Idol Top 3
The American Idol judges chose Emile Sandé's "Next to Me" for her second song on American Idol Top 3.
Mariah Carey says she felt like Candice brought her home with her. She thinks going home made Candice energized again. She can only see very, very good things happening for her in the future.
Keith Urban says he was totally in the song, he was into it and the beginning was so perfect. He says it was so good and what she did with the song was just beautiful.
Nicki Minaj says watching Candice's hometown video was just so emotional and it was hard for her to watch. Nicki gets choked up trying to do her critique and finally just has to say it was amazing and move on.
Randy Jackson says "we all got lifted with you.. and this is one of the greatest things about American Idol." Then he actually says "kudos to us." He also says it was just fabulous. Nicki comes back on to say she wants to congratulate Candice for being "the most confident woman on that stage" and inspiring woman of all colors no matter what they look like or where they've come from.

Day after Netanyahu rejects plan to uproot settlement communities, unnamed source in his offices says there is no reason any future Palestinian state will 'be ethnically cleansed' of Jews
Attila Somfalvi, AP
Published: 01.26.14, 19:41 / Israel News
Attila Somfalvi, AP
Sunday's comment expounded on Netanyahu's words over the weekend in Davos,
where he told the World Economic Forum that "I do not intend to remove a single settlement, (and) I do not intend to displace a single Israeli."
Related stories:
The Israeli official said Netanyahu believes there is no reason to uproot them against their will.
"The prime minister believes that in peace, just as Israel has an Arab minority, there is no logical reason why the Palestinian state could not contain a Jewish minority and that Jews living in Judea and Samaria would be given the option to stay," he said. "It should not be accepted a priori that in peace the Palestinian state must be ethnically cleansed," a position the Palestinians reject.
Netanyahu's senior coalition partner, Habayit Hayehudi Chairman Naftali Bennet, responded to the statement attributed to Netanyahu's office, saying that: "the quoted statement is very severe and reflects an irrational loss of values."
"Two thousand years of longing for Israel did not go by so that we could live under the rule of Mahmoud Abbas, and whoever imagines Jewish life in Israel under Palestinian rule threatens our presence in Tel Aviv."
Deputy Defense Minister Danny Dannon (Likud) was also quick to respond, saying "I wouldn't condemn my greatest enemies to live under Palestinian sovereignty. Anyone who thinks Jews will live under Palestinian control in Judea and Samaria is welcome to go and visit Gaza to understand what 'tolerance' really means in the West bank. Wherever there is no military presence there will be no security for Jews."
Likud Beiteinu's Tzipi Hotovely also slammed the initiative: "A political agreement that would dispense with Jewish settlements in favor of Palestinian sovereignty would not receive the Likud's political backing. A commitment to not uproot settlements is not enough. It's important that Israel sovereignty is preserved."
"Anyone who says he wants to keep settlers in the Palestinian state is actually saying that he doesn't want a Palestinian state," Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said. "No settler will be allowed to stay in the Palestinian state, not even a single one, because settlements are illegal and the presence of the settlers on the occupied lands is illegal."
Last July, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that "In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli - civilian or soldier - on our lands."
Two days ago, in an interview with Palestinian magazine Tariq, one of the few people in the loop of peace talks currently being conducted, senior Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official Yasser Abed Rabbo claimed that all components of Palestinian sovereignty and the 1967 Green Line were being destroyed, including by an attempt to keep Jewish settlers in the future Palestinian.
Rabbo argued that according to the Israeli perception, the large settlements that are not in settlement blocs would still be considered part of them. He further said that the Palestinians heard Israel is interested in either long-term leasing of what is left in the non-bloc settlements or to keep these settlements within the Palestinian country, along with maintaining the Israeli citizenship of those who reside there.
He noted that according to the Israeli approach, Jerusalem will remain under Israeli control, which will stretch, according to the Israelis, from the outskirts of Ramallah to the entrance to Bethlehem and the edge of the Jordan
Valley. He noted there are formless and general talks regarding the Palestinian aspirations to have a capital city in Jerusalem.
According to him, the best scenario is to have the Palestinians offered a suburb of Jerusalem, such as Kafr 'Aqab or Abu Dis, and this territory would be dubbed The Palestinian Capital of Jerusalem. He added that there is talk of a limited return of Palestinians to areas of Israel.
Abed Rabbo further added that according to what the Palestinians know, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also rejected US Secretary of State John Kerry's plan.

News: One final miss seals victory for CI Weapons
Story by Sgt. Christopher Zahn
MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. - TBS Ordnance and CI Weapons faced off in an intramural basketball game that came down to one final shot at Barber Physical Activity Center on March 4.
It was an exciting game between two teams who were initially playing shorthanded. Ordnance only had six players while Weapons started the game with five. Reinforcements arrived late for Weapons and their fresh legs helped them hang on for a 53-52 victory.
The first half was a high-paced affair as both teams executed their offense so well that defense became an afterthought. Two players in particular, went shot for shot for much of the first half. Steven Scheutzow, forward for Weapons, had 14 points for his team as he drained four wide-open three-point shots and sliced through the defense for a layup as well.
On the other end Martin Fuller, guard for Ordnance, repeatedly blew past Weapons defenders to finish the first half with 17 points.
At halftime, Weapons was clinging to a 31-30 lead and it became a question of who would stop their opponent's best shooter to seal the victory.
"We need to close out on their shooters," Fuller told his teammates at halftime. "We're not tall, so we're not going to block their shots, but we need to close out with our hands up."
Luckily for Weapons the rest of their team showed up and they were able to rotate fresh defenders onto Fuller. Being able to somewhat contain their opponents best player kept Weapons in control of the game as they weathered their own offensive dry spell.
The offensive firepower of the first half was absent as a renewed defensive focus by both teams resulted in stagnant offense. Baskets were hard to come by and the two teams traded possessions.
Still the game came down to one final opportunity for Ordnance as Fuller got the ball with 7 seconds left and raced past the defense to throw up a prayer. His shot just barely missed, sending groans through the gym and elation from the Weapons bench as they hung on for the 53-52 victory.

FTC issues guidance on online privacy
Businesses and policymakers take heed
TRADE WATCHDOG the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has released its best practice guidelines for companies and organisations that deal with consumer data and privacy.
The report, called "Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change: A Proposed Framework for Businesses and Policymakers" is what it says it is, a set of proposals. It recommends that the US Congress, the policymakers in question, consider things like do-not-track, general privacy, data security and breach notification legislation.
"If companies adopt our final recommendations for best practices - and many of them already have - they will be able to innovate and deliver creative new services that consumers can enjoy without sacrificing their privacy," said FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz.
"We are confident that consumers will have an easy to use and effective Do Not Track option by the end of the year because companies are moving forward expeditiously to make it happen and because lawmakers will want to enact legislation if they don't."
The recommendations are startlingly obvious. The FTC promotes privacy design, meaning that companies should build privacy protection into their products and offer simplified privacy options and greater transparency over what type of personal information is shared. We would hope that these are becoming standard by now.
Do not track, an idea that has some traction among web firms and the US executive branch, could be ready by the end of the year, according to the FTC document, where it commends the W3C on its work in the area.
Here, the FTC has the support of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which is pretty happy with the recommendations overall.
"In general, we're pleased by the new privacy framework set forth by the Commission. We hope Congress, the Commerce Department, and industry figures will turn to it as they continue crafting policy around user data in coming years," reads the response on the EFF web site. "But we will continue to monitor how such principles are actually enacted."
Self governance and better education are the order of the day, and the FTC said that it will hold workshops for involved parties later this year and promote self-regulation in industry. µ

comScore: Bing breaks 16 percent market share
comScore came out with their monthly search engine rankings this week and there was good news for Bing as it broke 16 percent for the first time. The bad news though was that Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) made moderate gains as well.
Bing was up one tenth of a percentage point this month to 16 percent. I've been covering these numbers for some time and unless I'm mistaken, this is a milestone for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), breaking 16 percent for the first time. But Google gained .2 percent this month to finish with 69.9 percent, the closest to 70 percent I recall seeing Google in these rankings.
The big loser this month was Ask, which lost 0.3 percent, which then got split between Google with .2 percent and Bing with .1 percent. It's pretty easy to see how this plays out. Yahoo, which runs Bing on the back end, held stead at 12.2 percent, but the fact it didn't lose anything was a positive step.
When you look at the total number of searches, you really begin to see the separation between Google and the rest of the pack in a stark light. The total number of searches last month was up 8 percent to 17.6 billion explicit core searches. Of that, Google sites accounted for 11.8 billion, while Microsoft sites accounted for 2.8 billion and Yahoo sites had 2.1 billion. Even when you combine Microsoft and Yahoo, it's still less than half of what Google is generating on its own.
It's hard to take too much from these month to month analyses because the changes are so slight, but you see a similar pattern each month with these numbers, and while Microsoft continues to make very small gains, it seems to be at the expense of either its partner or lesser players at the bottom of the search engine rankings.
Still, breaking 16 percent is a big deal, and Microsoft should be very pleased by this because every percentage point is progress--even if Google still dominates.

Abu Dhabi-based Al Masaood Travel & Services has teamed up with budget carrier Fly Dubai to open a Flydubai-branded travel shop in the UAE capital.
Flydubai's CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith said the LCC had entered the partnership to provide customers with an alternative booking channel to its website.
"Some people like the travel agent experience when booking flights, preferring to have someone talk them through their options," he said.
"By opening a dedicated Flydubai Travel Shop in Abu Dhabi, we are making Flydubai even more convenient and accessible to passengers across the UAE encouraging them to travel more often.
"Through tying up with Al Masaood Travel& Services we can benefit from their expertise and experience in Abu Dhabi. We already operate the Flydubai bus service with them and the travel shop was the next logical step in our expansion in the emirate.
Al Ghaith confirmed that "the partnership would develop" with further openings but did not say how many new travel shops were targeted.
Masaood Ahmed Al Masaood, chairman, Al Masaood Travel & Services added: "Teaming up with Flydubai to open a dedicated Travel Shop was a natural next step in our existing partnership and we look forward to many successful months to come."
The new retail outlet is located on Al Nasr Street in Abu Dhabi. Passengers can go there to book and pay for Flydubai flights, amend an existing booking and add optional extras. A dedicated bus service will also pick up and drop off passengers in front of the new shop in Abu Dhabi and transport them to Terminal 2 in Dubai.

Today was our third day of Paris preparations. The day began as a bit of a challenge, as each day it has become increasingly difficult to get out of bed. The past two days have been very intense and our bodies have been responding accordingly. But our moods were to be turned around with a wonderfully successful run of Balanchine's "Ballet Imperial" (some may know this ballet as Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2). We had really turned our focus to this ballet in the past two days and we were glad to hear from our ballet mistress that our hard work had paid off. We responded to her praise with a resounding round of applause. What a wonderful way to start the day.
After class this morning I had a brief break, where I was able to sit in on a rehearsal of Balanchine's "Tarentella." For those of you who have seen this spritely duet, I am sure you felt the excitement and energy radiating from the dancers. And those of you who are intimate with the choreography know extremely how difficult this pas de deux is for the dancers. The music is Louis Moreau Gottschalk's "Grand Tarantelle for Piano and Orchestra", which was reconstructed by Hershey Kay for the New York City Ballet premier in 1964. The original cast was our own, Edward Villella and Patricia McBride. As the original man in this ballet, you can imagine that our director has some pretty wonderful things to say to the dancers who perform this part on Miami City Ballet stages. So today, I caught him demonstrating to Soloist dancer Kleber Rebello exactly what he wanted.

Leaders Delhi Dardevils found themselves at third in the internet popularity followed by second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders at No 4.

Telling chart from Karl Smith:
Central bank independence (seemed to) work so well that it's desirability became something of an artical of faith. But it's not an idea handed down from heaven, it's an idea whose popularity spread because it (seemed to) work well. More recently, we've seen it work extremely poorly in Japan for an extended period of time and now the US and Europe seem to be caught up in the same dynamic.
