Another USA-EU "agreement" on airline reservations
Wendy Grossman has a good story today in The Register on the latest "agreement" between the USA and the European Union on transfers of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data from the EU to the government of the USA.
I haven't posted much about the latest PNR "agreement", largely because I see it as irrelevant to (and a distraction from) the central problems of PNR transfers, not to mention unenforceable and legally all but meaningless. But since Wendy was kind enough to refer extensively to my research and reporting on this issue, and since others have asked my opinion, a few comments are in order.
(If you aren't familiar with the background to this story, Statewatch has an excellent page of links to the agreement itself and related documents.)
The key points about the PNR "agreement", as I see them, are as follws:
First, the agreement is not a treaty, and has none of the attributes of contractual force suggested by the term "agreement". Since it has not been ratified as a treaty by the U.S. Senate, it has no legal force or effect in the USA, is not binding on the government of the USA, and cannot be invoked as a cause of action or cited as law in any court in the USA. It has no more force than a joint press release, as befits what is fundamentally an exercise in propaganda.
Second, the agreement applies only to the relatively small amount of PNR data obtained directly from airlines and directly from the EU by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) division of the USA Department of Homeland Security. In reality, the typical data path is that recently confirmed to me in response to my own request for my data from KLM/Air France : PNR data is transferred first to a computerized reservation system , "code-share partner" airline, or other intermediary, and only indirectly through those intermediaries to the USA government. The loophole that renders the PNR agreement all but meaningless in the real world is that it does not apply to intermediaries or to indirect data transfers to the USA government. The real problem, as I've been saying for years and testified earlier this year in Brussels, remains the commercial transfer of PNR data to CRS's and other commercial entities in the USA. Once the data is in the hands of businesses in the USA, the USA govenrment can obtain it easily from those intermediaries, without the need for judicial process and without the knowledge of the data subjects or the airlines.
Third, because the agreement does not apply to indirect data transfers or the intermediaries who participate in them, it does not immunize airlines, CRS's, and commercial intermediaries against complaints that their transfers of PNR data to commercial entities in the USA (not directly to the government of the USA, and regardless of whether the government eventually gets the data) violate EU data protection laws and the EU Code of Conduct for CRS's. In the wake of the clarification on this point provided by the agreement, EU data protection authorities now have no excuse not to proceed with investigations and sanctions against airlines and CRS's that do business in the EU (including those based in the USA that fly to or sell tickets in the EU), who engage in commercial transfers of PNR data to the USA, in violation of EU rules against transferring personal data to entities in countries like the USA that don't ensure adequate data protection.
Fourth, because EU authorities generally will sanction violators of data protection laws and regulations only when they receive complaints from affected individuals, the agreement reinforces the essential need for Europeans to request the records of their travel from airlines, travel agencies, tour operators, and CRS's, and complain to national authorities and the European Commission (which is supposed to enforce the EU Code of Conduct for CRS's) if they don't get the required answers, or if the answers reveal that their their data was sent to commerical entities in the USA without their consent.
Link | Posted by Edward on Sunday, 12 August 2007, 11:26 (11:26 AM) | TrackBack (0)What are the chances that this agreement will be annulled by the Court of Justice, like the last "agreement" was?
Also, is this effort actually for businesses' marketing purposes?
Hello all!
Nice to see I'm not the only one interested in this topic. I've just created a blog in which I talk about international politics. My last post is titled 'On technology, privacy, and other challenges in the XXI century'. It talks about cameras, databases, and how Governments and Corporations should manage that data. Feel free to take a look and comment or post there if you want. It doesn't have any advertising.
It's here:
See ya!

- Excerpt from Intellectual Property – The Mining Sector's Saviour or Greatest Threat?
For the past decade the mining boom has enabled those companies lucky enough to work in the industry to grow and prosper. With the resources sector tightening the focus has shifted to protecting that growth to ensure the continued profitability of mining companies and suppliers alike. One mechanism by which companies are looking to protect their position is intellectual property rights, most notably patents and confidential information (know how).
Both are effective tools to ensure exclusive rights to technology and processes. For the owner, they enjoy market advantage as the sole provider of certain products or services or improved profitability as the result of their exclusive use of the best processes. This is clearly a huge advantage...

The Bachelorette Week 2 Recap (May 30, 2011 Spoiler Alert)
Week 2 of The Bachelorette aired last night on ABC as Ashley Hebert continued to try and find true love.
Last night on The Bachelorette, the boys were all over Ashley Hebert once again, clamoring for her affection. The show started out with them with the Group Date, with the gang attending a dance performance with the Jabberwockies. The guys were all taken aback when they saw Ashley peforming…they were then told that they would be broken up into teams in order to rehearse. The two groups were No Rhythm Nation and The Best Man crew; No Rhythm Nation won, and were able to spend some more time with Ashley, and perform with her in front of 2000 people!
Ashley Hebert admitted to Bentley that she had feelings for him, while he pretended to be insecure whilst he told cameras he doesn't have feelings for her. Bentley was one of the first guys to get a rose, and so he appears to be tricking her successfully. Bentley was the real villain in this second episode of The Bachelorette; he talked a lot of trash about Ashley behind the scenes, admitting that he isn't attracted to her but that he still wants to win.
In this episode, Ashley Hebert also goes on her first one-on-one date, with Will. Her second one-on-one is with Mickey, and on both of these dates Ashley (and guys) seem very happy, and both men get roses.
When Ashley reunites with the other guys, JP snags Ashley before any of the other guys have a chance to ask her for some time. JP and Ashley end up kissing, as well as Ashley and Will. Jeff keeps his mask on, and appears to be kind of awkward with the other guys.
At the rose ceremony, Ashley gives a rose to West, followed by Constantine, Ryan P., Ben C., Nick, Ames, Lucas, Jeff, JP, Chris, Ben F, and finally Blake. This means that Matt is eliminated from The Bachelorette, along with Stephen, and Ryan M. Those guys seemed understandably bummed out…
Who do you think will be eliminated next? Will Ashley Hebert figure out that Bentley is fake? Or is she already too far under his spell? Let us know in the comments!

help with eclipse catfish?? hey im looking for any information on diet habits or anything else on a eclipse catfish.i think its also known as a sun catfish?? i know they r very shy but thats about it. anyone know anything about them or has anyone had these before? how big will it actually get? is missing fins common in them? only reason i ask is i saw a you tub e video of a fat on and it was missing fins and i got a baby the other day and its missing its left fin, i call him lefty larry. :lol: he swims fin and doesnt seem 2 miss the fin at all looks like hes been missing it since birth. anyway any more ifno would b appriciated. |
The time to research the fishes is BEFORE you purchase them,adopt them,rescue them,etc. I suspect if you were to google info on Sun Catfish you would find information on them. |
yea there was zero info on this website and not much is coming up for eclipse catfish but ill try suncatfish. i suspect u have no info on these fish so dont bother posting on my thread unless ur helping |
Websites are littered with post's which usually start out.. "what fish do I have" what foods for this fish,Oh no my fish had babies, What now? Will these fish get along? etc,etc. A little time and effort on researching the fishes that interest you before purchasing them will always result in happier fishes and hobbyist's.;-) |

Yes, I have some thoughts. I renig on my previous opinion of legalization. After having fallen off of the wagon for three days, I, like Jess, realize why I wanted to quit in the first place. It's as addicting as any other drug, and withdrawal is hell. I stopped and asked myself "would I want my kids doing this as adults?" The answer was NO. Just as there are social drinkers, and social smokers; many people, too many people, become easily addicted.

Egg Free, Gluten Free Pancakes
Well hello there, friends. It's been quite a while since I've posted something here. This past winter and spring (which was really just winter that lasted through the end of April... ugh!), I found myself completely immersed in the task of settling into life at home with my three young boys. Homeschooling, cleaning, preparing nutritious meals, reading, and staying sane (thank you God, Kay Arthur, and yogaglo.com) have been consuming most of my time.
BUT now the sticky notes of recipes are piling up in my kitchen! It's time to do something about them... get some of those recipes on this blog... finally.
A while back, I ran out of eggs, and wasn't picking up another dozen from my farmer for a few days... and we desperately wanted pancakes. So I created this egg free recipe and I'm so happy with it that it's become my go-to pancake recipe ever since. My boys love them. In fact, last night we ate them along with some organic chicken sausages for dinner (what kid doesn't love breakfast for dinner?). I like to smear mine with freshly ground peanut butter and my boys love drizzling them (or dousing them) with pure maple syrup.
The ingredient list seems long, but really they are easy to prepare. I find the buckwheat flour to be essential as it helps to hold the pancakes together nicely, which is especially important when you're cooking gluten free.
Egg Free, Gluten Free Pancakes
Egg replacer:
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
6 tablespoons water
Dry ingredients:
1 cup sprouted brown rice flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar or sucanat
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch salt
Wet ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup + water
Preheat a pancake griddle over med-low heat.
Mix flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add flaxseed mixture, coconut oil (melted), honey, and vanilla. Stir.
Begin adding water slowly, up to 1 cup, and stir. The batter will thicken upon standing, so you may want to add an additional 1/2 cup water if the batter sits a while before you pour onto the griddle.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter into round circles onto the griddle. Wait until bubbles form on the top of the pancakes (about 3-5 minutes) and flip. Cook another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with 100% pure Grade B maple syrup.
Makes about a dozen pancakes.

I buy my sprouted brown rice flour from Azure Standard. If you can't get it locally, you can make your own by sprouting brown rice, dehydrating it, and then grinding it into flour (but that's a lot of work). You can also soak brown rice flour overnight in a slightly acidic base of water and whey (or lemon juice or kefir), but I have not yet experimented with soaking flours for this recipe.

Thanks Kathleen for this idea (you can check out her 100th day activities here)! |
Hard at work |
From the front |
And the back |
I made our 100th day cake that I've made every year since I started teaching and since it was miracle to get it baked last night with Ellie Grace helping me {as in wanting to not be put down...which is fine by me :)}, I let the kids help me decorate it.
The kids loved the cake, but I think they loved making our 100 piece trail mix even more. I think we all finally can remember that ten groups of ten is 100!

Oracle has shrugged off criticisms of its recent security record, saying that one of the company's biggest security concerns is that its customers are so used to being secure that they are not used to applying patches.
Hasan Rizvi, vice-president of security products at Oracle, told Builder UK sister site ZDNet Australia on Wednesday that unlike rival Microsoft, security has always been a high priority at the database maker.

....I know that the only thing that made elementary school bearable for Connor was knowing he could escape it once a week and go to the EL (enhanced learning) center. That child hated school from the very first day he went - except for EL, and a few other classes - orchestra, economics (yes, he is STRANGE), environmental ed, and a web design class. That's about it I think.
Remembering conversations we have had about our adult brains being wired differently from our computer-raised kids - and knowing you have a special interest in that, I am also attaching a picture of Connor that I took when he was 16 months old. Thought you might enjoy it - or heck - you might even like to use it when you give talks about these newly-wired brains - you are welcome to do so if you wish....
So, sometimes things do work out for our underachieving kids. I've changed my thinking over the years and now give different advice to kids and parents. I used to say that a kid had to decide the minute they walked into high school if they wanted to compete academically. I told them that 60 kids in our high schools had 4.0 GPAs and one bad semester will screw up your GPA for good. Now I tell parents and kids that they need to find something that differentiates them from every other smart, good test scores, good grades kid in the country! I suggest our district's Signature Programs including Law, BioTech, BioMed, Computers, International Studies, IB, Engineering, or mentoring, shadowing, community service, entrepreneurships, etc.
Being smart is not enough. Being a good student is not enough. What can your child do to set himself or herself apart?

China's state news agency said today 1.3 million people had been ordered to move to higher ground for fear a "quake lake" caused by this month's devastating earthquake could burst its mud and rock dam, but the announcment was immediately denied by an official spokesman.
Tan Li, Communist Party Secretary of Mianyang city, "issued an order that 1.3 million people living downstream from Tangjiashan, a swelling quake-induced lake, must evacuate to higher ground marked by government bodies", Xinhua news agency said, specifying the threat of flooding and strong aftershocks.
But Zhou Hua, a Mianyang city official who is spokesman for the lake relief effort, told Reuters the Xinhua report was inaccurate.
"There is a virtual training exercise scheduled for tomorrow to test our contingency plan to move that many people," he said.
"But there is no public participation, and we see no reason at all to actually implement the plan at this stage."
The landslide-blocked river at Tangjiashan in southwest China is now the most pressing danger after an earthquake devastated the region on 12 May.

Under Tcat 4.x on a form-based login site with jdbcrealms, if you have a user which doesn't have per-session cookies enabled (so that he/she is using url session tracking) Tomcat has this strange behavior where it sends the user to the j_security_check page three times before letting them in I submitted the bug as: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6281 Have any active developers seen this problem? The problem does not occur when I switch to memory-based realms, so it appears to be a jdbcrealm specific issue. If anyone has any ideas on things I should look for in the jdbcrealm implementation, I would appreciate any hints on trying to fix this. Thanks, Cameron Elliott | |

It seems most people find my blog when searching for a particular term/topic. My most popular post is the one I wrote about our dog - Busu, our whippet/jack russell terrier beauty - with 3,091 page views. I guess a lot of people are searching the terms whippet & jack russell terrier.
However, the non-search wielding page views are in the teens. Which leads me to the question "Is anyone actually reading this?' ..... "Is anyone there?"
If you read my blog often, can you take my poll (on the right side panel)?

I am tired of bullies! | |||||||
An Hero Posted: find the most poplular person who is picking on you. then poison a bottle of soda with cobra venom. go up to the bully and grovel claiming they are so much better than you and give them the soda claiming they win etc. after they drink the soda start to kick thier bum. the venom will flow quickly through thier bodies paralyzing them making it easier to beat them down. the venoem should kill them right about the time you are worn out. making it appear you have beaten them to death. now this is the important part. growl and glare at the other bullies ask them if thay are ready for thiers. then turn an smile at everyone else. walk away like nothing happened. oh there may be a slight possibility you will end up in a psycho ward, but at least no more bullies. All fled—all done, so lift me on the pyre; The feast is over, and the lamps expire. Robert E. Howard, writer, d. June 11, 1936, from his suicide note |

Every1 sekretly wants to be just like u, they are just akting out. So u just have to suffer ur part, and take pride in ur superioritee. Maybe u can read pottery (sp?) to them to hamer in the point.

get a really big stick, or pipe, or broom whatever and a knive, hide the knife in a place where nobody will notice or search, like your bum for example. Then hide in the bathroom, wait for the bully, beat the crap out of him, knife him in the anu and cut off his balls then cut also his aquiles tendons so he cant go after you. Then go away quitly and if he ever acuses you you can say you are too small to be able to do such a thing… if youre not small just knife everybody who questions you in the bum. Nah U see me, nah u don. |

I was only ever bullied once. Then I did something bad. They had it coming, Oh yes. They will not be so eager to antagonise you when they come home to find their families dead. Their loved ones blood smeared across the walls. Their whole world desecrated. And when they come home, You'll be sitting their, amongst their families scattered remains, and you will say: "I did this. Me, who you tormented. You could have avoided this. I told you to stop. But you didn't listen. This happened because of you. This is all your fault. And then they scream. And you laugh. How you will laugh. Hope that helped!

BRYAN, Ohio - About 30 cars of a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed Monday morning in Melbern, Ohio, blocking a busy rail line between Toledo and Chicago. No one was injured, according to authorities but the derailed cars included flammable methanol.
It was not immediately reported if there was a fire. The derailment occurred starting about 25 cars deep in an 89-car train bound from Chicago to Roanoke, Va., railroad spokesman Rudy Husband said. The cause of the derailment wasn't immediately known.
Amtrak announced Monday afternoon that its service overnight through Toledo would be canceled with no alternative transportation provided. The passenger rail operator said it was making reaccommodation arrangements with affected travelers.
Local fire and emergency personnel were on the scene, according to the Williams County Sheriff's Department which received the report at 9:23 a.m.
Melbern is about five miles west of Bryan and about 55 miles west of Toledo.

Employee self-evaluations are a tool designed to improve employee performance. By asking employees to assess their own strengths and weaknesses, you encourage a thoughtful evaluation of job performance. Self-evaluations also open a dialogue between the employee and supervisors about how the employee views his job and his prospects for advancement. Employee self-evaluations should help workers set goals, provide constructive feedback and highlight areas where the employee and supervisors might not be in agreement on job performance.
An employee self-evaluation makes the employee a partner in the review process, rather than a passive recipient. This is the employee's opportunity to assess her performance, communicate her needs as an employee and clarify any misunderstanding on job duties and company policy. She also can assess her relationship with supervisors and share her vision for herself and her job. These evaluations provide insight into the employee's morale and where she sees herself in the company.
An effective employee self-evaluation asks the employee to provide specific examples of strengths and weaknesses on the job. Ask where the employee feels he needs to improve and what things about the job he would change. If possible, list specific objectives for the employee's position, then ask if these objectives were met. Discuss employee goals and whether or not these are being met. Ask the employee to set new goals for the coming year. Ask him to review any training he received since the last review, and to assess if this training was effective. Provide space for the employee to list other training he feels he needs, and to share anything else he thinks would improve his job performance.
The supervisor should review the employee's self-evaluation before she sits down with the employee to discuss job performance. This lets the supervisor to assess if she and the employee are on the same page when it comes to their views of his job performance. For example, if the employee feels he needs more training for the position, and the supervisor assumes he has all the training he needs, this is an area that warrants further discussion. The supervisor should also note any questions the employee didn't answer or areas of concern he failed to touch on. Once the supervisor has reviewed the employee's self-evaluation form, she should discuss it with the employee face-to-face. The supervisor should do more listening than talking, and ask the employee to brainstorm solutions to problems, formulate a plan for improvement and set measurable goals for the coming year. The discussion should cover both strengths and weaknesses, and not focus solely on negatives and shortcomings.
Other Considerations
You want the employee self-evaluation to be comprehensive, but don't make it too long or cumbersome to fill out. This could have a negative impact on employee participation in the process. Consider using online forms rather than paper forms, to streamline the process. Offer feedback to the employee after the meeting to discuss the self-evaluation. In a letter or email, repeat key points and steps the employee and the supervisor agreed to take to help the employee perform better on the job. Make a note to revisit these key areas at the next employee evaluation.

Around 40 of the 160 staff at Conservative Central Office are threatened under plans already approved in principle by the party's management board in the expectation that there will be no dramatic turn-round in the remaining two months of the financial year.
The party could face an operating deficit in the financial year 1994/95, only a year after Sir Norman Fowler, the former chairman, was able to record an operating surplus of £2.1m for the first time in several years. A deficit would mean a further increase in the party's £16.5m overdraft.
But even if the party breaks even as a result of donations during the next two months, the cuts look increasingly inevitable because of the £1m-plus annual cost of servicing the overdraft and the fear that banks may not be prepared to extend credit for the general election unless the party manages to make deep cuts in its debt before then.
According to some internal estimates, while income is currently only running at around £10m a year, the party needs some £30m in donations over the next two years to be fully equipped for the general election. And even then it is unsure of being able to find the £11m that it spent on the 1992 general election. Among the possible targets for cutbacks - which would save around £1.5m- are some of the functions of the constituency services section, whose responsibilities include back-up for the Young Conservatives, Conservative Women, the trade union section, the multi-ethnic one nation forum and the running of the party-owned printing works in Reading.
The possibility of "privatising" other functions at Central Office has not been ruled out. The idea of charging MPs and others for research services provided by Central Office has been examined in the past, but would provoke a stiff reaction from the parliamentary party. Another possibility would be ending the £100,000-a-year affiliation to the European Democratic Union and the International Democratic Union, the two main international centre-right bodies to which the party subscribes.
Rumours about cuts have already caused anxiety within Central Office. One insider said: "What is worrying a lot of us is that at this time in the cycle we should be taking people on, not letting them go."
Although party sources insist that income is "stable", cutbacks in large company donations has robbed the party of the means to reduce its overdraft.
One certainty is that any cuts will be in accordance with management criteria laid down by Jeremy Hanley, the party chairman, at the Conservative conference in Bournemouth in October, when he said that he would be "ruthless in cutting out every cost which does not contribute to our political objectives". The party has few alternatives to cutting its staff at Central Office.

In Search of Directors' Paper Trails
Clint Eastwood
Are the papers of John Ford in a library or archive? If so, which one? What about Alfred Hitchcock's? Or those of a contemporary director such as Martin Scorsese? Yes to all the above and to an extraordinary number of other live-action theatrical motion picture and television directors. Going back to such historic figures as D.W. Griffith, various colleges, universities, institutes, centers, museums, academies, and libraries in the U.S. house important materials of directors that can be viewed on the premises.
For those who have an interest in studying the career of a director more than superficially, we can at least point you in the right direction with regard to the location of the materials.
The accompanying list is neither an evaluative nor an interpretive rundown of the collections. Some of the holdings are large, some relatively small. Many emphasize scripts, others documents, and more than a few contain photographs and/or scrapbooks, and some all of the above. Occasionally a director's papers are, for various reasons, housed at more than one archive. (King Vidor and Cecil B. DeMille, to cite two examples.) These are so noted (in alphabetical order) after that director's name and usually consist of different materials at each of the locations.
What can be gleaned from perusing a director's papers? Any number of illuminating aspects of his or her professional (and on occasion personal) life. The correspondence to and from associates with regard to projects can be clues or keys to a director's creative process and approach to the execution of subjects — some realized and others intriguingly not.
Frank Capra
Directors' annotated scripts and memos to and from various colleagues offer additional insights, and certainly scrapbooks reveal much more than the obvious contents of the bits and pieces saved. Then there are the letters of agreement, contracts, and the interchanges between, among others, studio executives and the director.
Directors' paper collections are scattered throughout the country depending upon the wishes of the donor. Some individuals have strong ties to their alma mater, others believe strongly in the aims and/or resources of a particular institute; there are those who want their materials fairly close to home. Some follow the lead of associates and friends who have, for whatever reasons, already put their papers in a chosen location. Still others have been impressed by a specific facility or by the wooing of a magnetic and very persuasive archive director. For whatever reason or reasons, we can be grateful that unique and revealing materials of directors are being cared for rather than left to languish in someone's garage or attic (or worst-case scenario — thrown out!).
Hyphenate producer-directors, writer-directors and actor-directors, etc., are included here, as long as their directing credits are substantial enough to go beyond barely testing the waters. There are also some assistant directors and unit production managers represented.
The listing does not include collections that are exclusively negatives, prints or videocassettes of the actual films, or exclusively oral histories, or just clipping files — unless any or all of these are part of the overall collection. Space restrictions prohibit listing breakdowns of the kinds of items to be found in each collection or the amount of same. Also, the specific name of the library or building on a campus along with address, telephone number, and personnel to contact are excluded for the same reason. But once you know the basic location and the city and state by consulting the list and the accompanying key, the rest can be found via telephone, internet, or library reference works, for example. Availability of collections and policies regarding access and usage vary from archive to archive.
My gratitude to all who cooperated and aided in the compilation of this project. Also, having been to many of these institutions in my own pursuits over the years has helped considerably.
Some directors and their collections may have been inadvertently overlooked. DGA Magazine welcomes being informed of errors and omissions by mail so that an addenda to these pages will make all reasonably right in the not too distant future.
Directors and their teams working together to solve problems in film and television in the past and present.
In magnifying their subjects, filmmakers also hold up a mirror to society.
So your independent movie was a hit. What comes next? For some, it's a leap to studio filmmaking. Here's how four directors moved up, and what they found once they got there.
The numbers are appalling. In 2013, only nine percent of DGA features released in theaters were directed by women. To inspire, encourage, and hopefully promote change, we interviewed some of those who succeeded in getting their films made. Here are their stories.
James B. Harris produced three films with his friend Stanley Kubrick. In this interview, he offers a rare glimpse of life on the set with Kubrick— not as a legend but a working director.
Alan J. Pakula talks about directing All the Presidents Men, adapted from a 1976 story in the DGA's Action magazine.
American movies have been portraying politicians on screen since the populist heroes of John Ford and Frank Capra. But it wasn't until the advent of TV that filmmakers learned to capture the drama of the game.
Independent directors have helped create an industry and a staggering range of films over the last 30 years.
There's commitment, and then there's real commitment. Ron Maxwell became so deeply involved in researching and realizing two authentically precise Civil War movies that they may end up as the legacy of his filmmaking life.
Various colleges, universities, institutes, centers, museums, academies, and libraries in the U.S. house important materials of from historic directors that can be viewed on the premises.
On the set of the classic Ocean's Eleven directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Frank Sinatra.
Most people today under 50 are unaware of Du Mont as a fourth network — or that multitudes watched programs on Du Mont TV sets.
Factual inconsistency is a recurrent feature of this dense text, but it matters not one bit really, as the facts and fiction here blur together into one seamless whole.
This hefty reference book looks at Hollywood's motion picture and television treatment of five ethnic groups: African-Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Jewish Americans, and Native Americans.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
It is with great sadness that United Reggae reports the passing of yet another fine roots reggae artist Anthony Doyley, who died on Saturday 26th February 2011 in London at the age of 55.
Anthony was one of the founding members and lead singer, songwriter of the group Knowledge. They formed in 1974 and included vocalists Delroy Fawlin, Earl MacFarlane and Michael Samuels plus guitarist Michael Smith.
Their early work was with the artist/producer Tappa Zukie, who looked on them as his protégés and after releasing a number of hits through Zukie's Stars label they signed to the major label A&M in 1978 where they released 'Hail Dread'. They also worked with producer Roy Cousin that released the great 'Stumbling Block' but the band unfortunately did not find the same significant commercial success as some of their peers and soon slipped back into relative anonymity.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Barry Zito appeared to be on the right path after returning from a near-season long injury nearly three weeks ago.
But the San Francisco Giants' left-hander took a giant step backward.
Zito allowed 3-run homers to Jesus Guzman and Orlando Hudson, and couldn't get out of the fourth inning in the Giants 11-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Guzman connected in the first inning after a pair of walks by Zito (3-2) and Hudson hit his homer in the third to give the Padres a 7-0 lead.
``He had trouble getting the ball where he wanted and his secondary pitches weren't good,' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ``Between the walks and missing his spots, it got ugly.'
Zito had been solid since he came off the disabled list (right foot sprain) on June 28 after missing more than two months. The lefty was 3-0 with 1.29 ERA in three starts since his return.
But against the Padres, those results went south.
``Just execution,' Zito said when asked what went wrong. ``When you execute pitches, guys miss the barrel. You fall behind by not executing. Things get a little more difficult out there.'
Zito, who threw a season-high eight innings in a 2-1 win over San Diego last week, allowed eight runs on seven hits with four walks over 3 2-3 innings.
``When you're missing like he was early in the game, it just wasn't there,' Bochy said. ``That's a tough night for him. He's been throwing so well. You're going to have these off days and you've got to deal with them.'
Rookie Corey Luebke (2-3) pitched seven strong innings to help the Padres snap a season-high seven-game losing streak.
Guzman had a career-high four RBIs for the NL's worst offensive team.
San Diego, which has scored the fewest runs in the NL and has the league's lowest batting average, scored its most runs since an 11-2 win against Atlanta on June 24.
It was the first time the Padres hit multiple homers in a game since May 13 at Colorado. The span of 56 games was the longest stretch in the majors since the 1983 Cleveland Indians went 63 games without multiple homers.
The Padres, who had scored just five runs in their previous 65 innings, were 1 for 40 with runners in scoring position before Guzman's homer.
Luebke, who lost the 2-1 decision to Zito and the Giants last week, gave up two runs on four hits while striking out five and walking one.
Since joining the starting rotation on June 26, Luebke is 2-1 with 1.50 ERA in four starts.
Zito's lack of command cost him in the first inning when he issued two walks and hung a breaking ball with two outs that Guzman hit for his second homer.
Guzman singled in another run in the third with two outs and Hudson followed with a three-run home run, his second of the season.
The Padres, who scored just 10 runs during the seven-game losing streak, have scored in double figures only four times this season.
San Francisco scored on a sacrifice fly by Cody Ross, Miguel Tejeda's fourth homer and pinch-hitter Mike Fontenot's RBI double.
Notes: The Padres had not hit multiple homers in spacious Petco Park since May 4 against Pittsburgh. ... San Diego became the last team in the major leagues to reach 50 homers. Toronto's Jose Bautista leads the majors with 31 home runs. ... Padres 3B Chase Headley was out of the starting lineup after suffering a strained right calf that forced him out of Friday night's game against San Francisco in the first inning. Headley is the club's leading hitter with a .300 average. ... Because Headley is not expected to play, at the earliest, until San Diego starts a road trip Tuesday at Florida, the Padres called up 2B Logan Forsythe from Triple-A Tucson and optioned rookie C Luis Martinez to Tucson. ... Giants 2B Mark DeRosa (left wrist sprain) began a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose and is expected to join Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday.

Having failed to persuade the legal profession to reduce its fees, the Lord Chancellor now plans to limit access to legal aid to cases that have at least a 75 per cent chance of success and encourage anyone else who wants to go to law to enter into a no-win, no-fee agreement with his or her lawyers to pay the costs.
Conditional fee arrangements already operate in cases of personal injury. Part of the Lord Chancellor's solution is a proposal to extend the conditional fee arrangement to all proceedings, other than criminal cases and matrimonial related disputes, with effect from April.
But this does not mean a licence to go to law. Whoever undertakes to pay the legal costs will still need to be satisfied that the policy holder has a good chance of winning.
The conditional fee arrangement allows clients to minimise their financial exposure. In such cases the client will visit his solicitor, who considers the strength of the case. If he is satisfied that the individual has a good chance of winning he will negotiate a success fee with the client. This agreement means that if the solicitor loses the case the client is not liable to pay his fees. However, if the case is won, the solicitor is entitled to a success fee.
The solicitor, in turn, will require the client to take out insurance cover against the risk of losing the case and becoming liable for the opponent's costs. The insurance company will only agree to underwrite the client's legal expenses if the solicitor has entered into a success fee arrangement with the client.
As the Law Society has already pointed out, the success of the conditional fee arrangement will depend largely on how willing insurance companies are to offer policies to cover a broad range of actions and underwrite the risk of being liable to pay the insured's legal costs.
This type of insurance policy, which offers the client protection against paying out legal expenses after a claim has arisen, is still a relatively new idea. Most forms of legal expenses insurance are typically tacked on to the end of a household insurance policy and are not tailored to address a particular claim.
Problems can arise when it comes to relying on such policies either because they do not cover the type of claim that has arisen or the policies are unduly restrictive in the choice of solicitors the client can use.
There are some policies that do offer legal expenses insurance cover when the individual has already decided to sue someone. Accident Line Protect, which was launched in 1995, offers policies to cover the cost of legal expenses of up to pounds 100,000 in personal injury claims. Road accident claims are covered by a premium of pounds 92 and other claims by one of pounds 156. This cover is offered in conjunction with the Law Society.
Law Assist, run by Greystoke Legal Services Limited, also provides "after the event" cover and a policy under which the litigant's costs are paid if the client loses the case, plus the option to insure against his or her own solicitor's legal costs, regardless of whether he or she wins or loses the case.
Those who want to take out cover with Law Assist must consult a specialist solicitor from the Law Assist Panel, who will consider the merits of the case. There is a charge of pounds 34.50 plus VAT for this service. If the case is taken a premium is payable for the cover. The minimum fee for up to pounds 2,000 of insurance cover is pounds 258, rising to pounds 2,740 for up to pounds 50,000.
Anyone who decides to take out such policies should check the expenses that are covered by the policy. Does it cover not just solicitors' costs but barristers' fees and experts reports, such as a doctor's opinion?
Anyone considering entering into a conditional fee arrangement should shop around solicitors. It is important to get an assessment of the strength of your case. Always establish whether the person you are suing has the ability to pay damages if he or she loses the case.
Always check the solicitor's reputation and success rate. The solicitor offering the best deal is not necessarily the one most likely to secure a favourable result.

Synopsis: | Three bungling brothers make off with a bundle of cash from the Paradise--the town, not the afterlife--bank on Christmas Eve. The locals, naive refugees from a Rockwell painting, don't recognize the buffoons as criminals, and reward their crime with hospitality that would make Frank Capra proud. Chase scenes and subplots abound as the boys spend what seems an eternity trying to make their getaway. Routine, humdrum comedy is hampered by an obvious plot. Watchable only because of Carvey, Lovitz, and Cage. |

From SHTFplan.com
Thousands of Latvians lined up at bank counters and ATMs over the weekend in an attempt to withdraw their savings from Swedbank, the country's largest banking institution.
As rumors of imminent collapse began to build due to the bank's reported liquidity problems in Estonia and Sweden, Latvians panicked and headed for their cash. This was the scene outside of numerous ATM's in Latvia's capital city, Riga:
There are various reasons for why a bank run may occur in the U.S., but the overwhelming driving mechanism will be panic. Once the public realizes that a particular insititution can't make good on its debt or the country's currency goes into a death spiral, depositors will be out in droves. ATMs will be limited on cash and generally allow withdrawals of about $300 per day. Likewise, banks will simply not have enough money to pay out the entire account balance of every depositor, so they will more than likely implement withdrawal restrictions similar to what you might get from an ATM.
At that point, the future of your finances will fall into the hands of the federal government by way of the FDIC, which itself is wholly under-capitalized and unable to effectively cover the deposits of a single major U.S. bank, let alone the entire banking system...

New Initiative Targets 'School-to-Prison' Pipeline
From Guest Blogger Nirvi Shah:
A new undertaking from the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education targets school discipline policies that end up pushing children into the juvenile-justice system for crimes and rule-breaking on campus—and keeping them from pursuing their education.
Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan unveiled the Supportive School Discipline Initiative at a meeting of a Justice Department committee meeting Thursday afternoon.
"When our young people start getting locked up early... they start to move out of schools, out of the pipeline to success," Mr. Duncan said. He recalled how when he led Chicago public schools, he found that 7 percent of schools were responsible for more than half of the arrests of young people in the city. A small group of principals were calling the police too often to deal with minor disciplinary issues, he said, while schools with similar demographics handled the same behavior problems in other ways.
"People wanted to do the right thing. They just didn't know better," he said. "So many of these children need assistance. What they don't need is to be pushed out the door."
The initiative announced Thursday has four parts:
• building consensus for action among federal, state and local education and justice stakeholders;
• collaborating on research and data collection needed to shape policy, such as evaluations of alternative disciplinary policies and interventions;
• developing guidance to ensure school discipline policies and practices are in line with the federal civil rights laws;
• and promoting awareness and knowledge about evidence-based and promising policies and practices.
Holder and Duncan referenced a report by the Council of State Governments Justice Center from earlier this week that found that more than half of all Texas middle and high school students were suspended or expelled at least once between 7th and 12th grades.
"I think these numbers are kind of a wake-up call," Mr. Holder said. "It's obvious we can do better."
The departments will work with nonprofit and philanthropic groups including the Council of State Governments and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.

Release Date 29 October 2007
The National Insulation Association welcomes the new improved and strengthened 'Climate Change Bill' set out by the Environment secretary, Hilary Benn.
Neil Marshall, Chief Executive of the NIA said 'We look forward to continuing working with Government to ensure every home in Britain is adequately insulated, this will significantly reduce carbon emissions'. 'There are nearly 9 million homes with cavity walls that are not insulated and around half of the existing housing stock requires insulation to reach a thermally efficient standard. The insulation industry has the expertise, technology and capacity to meet the requirements for treating these homes'.
'Measures such as green mortgages, council tax rebates and grants which encourage energy efficient homes should be introduced by Government. Insulation is a highly cost effective measure; cavity wall insulation for example can save the average householder £130 - £160 per year as a result of reduced energy bills.'
NIA members have to meet strict guidelines and have all signed the NIA's Code of Professional Practice, ensuring that they provide the highest possible service. More information on the benefits of insulation is available at: www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk together with a search facility to find a local installer.

HMS Excellent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ship and a shore establishment of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Excellent:
- HMS Excellent was a 74-gun third rate launched in 1787. She was converted into a 58-gun fourth rate in 1820 and became a gunnery training ship in 1830. She was broken up in 1835, but gave her name to the later gunnery school.
- HMS Excellent is a shore establishment in Portsmouth. Originally housed in a number of hulks named HMS Excellent since 1830, it was formally established in 1869. It moved ashore in 1891 and remained active until 1985, when it ceased to be an independent command and was incorporated into HMS Nelson as part of HMNB Portsmouth. The name continues to exist in reference to the aspects under the site's administrative purview. A number of ships were renamed HMS Excellent whilst serving as homes or tenders of the establishment. These include:
- Base ships:
- HMS Excellent was the original school ship between 1830 and 1835.
- HMS Boyne was HMS Excellent between 1834 and 1859.
- HMS Queen Charlotte was HMS Excellent between 1859 and 1892.
- Tenders and depot ships:
- HMS Handy was HMS Excellent between 1891 and 1916.
- HMS Drudge was HMS Excellent between 1916 and 1918.
- William Leach was HMS Excellent between 1919 and 1920.
- Andrew Jewer was HMS Excellent between 1922 and 1948.
- Hainneville was HMS Excellent in 1942.
- Harbour launch 3711 was HMS Excellent between 1945 and 1962.

Movie SummaryOpen Your Eyes (Abre los ojos)
Description: It would appear that Cesar has everything going for him - he's charming, rich and unbelievably handsome. But as we find out in Open Your Eyes, appearances can be deceiving. On the night of his twenty-fifth birthday Cesar meets Sof'a, and for the first time, thinks that he may have found the ideal woman. After spending an evening laughing, talking and falling in love, Cesar leaves Sofia and is confronted by Nuria, an old girlfriend who he callously snubbed the night before. Upset at the way she was treated, Nuria begs Cesar for another chance, pleading with him to get in her car. Once in the car, Cesar realizes that he's made a grave mistake. In a jealous rage, Nuria drives her car off of the road, killing herself and disfiguring the once striking Cesar. After the fateful crash, fantasy and reality begin to blend together. Cesar wakes up in a psychiatric prison, undergoing evaluation for a killing that he can't quite remember. Working with a psychiatrist, Cesar leads us through the events that took place after the crash, trying to desperately figure out how he ended up in such a nightmare. If he can remember his face being fixed, then why does he still wear a mask? If Nuria died in a car crash, how did she come back to life? If Sofia was his true love, then why did he kill her? Is Cesar living in a dream or has he gone mad? Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

WASHINGTON— The DNA Plant Technology Corporation of Cinnaminson, N.J., a young company working on ways to make better-tasting vegetables, obtained the latest in a series of patents this week on methods to extend the shelf life of fresh carrot sticks.
The patent is part of a broader effort, in concert with E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, to develop fresh vegetable snacks that can be sold on supermarket shelves.
Essentially, the process consists of rapidly heating the carrot sticks for about a minute to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, then rapidly cooling them and placing them in vacuum packs. The process kills any microbes that would spoil the vegetable and prevents contact with new ones in the atmosphere. Company officials said the process did not damage the vegetables' taste or texture.
The company received patent 4,919,948.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A series of journals kept by a lawyer who represented Lizzie Borden in her 1893 double murder trial are shedding new light on the case.
The journals by attorney Andrew Jackson Jennings were willed to the Fall River Historical Society by Jennings' grandson, Edward Saunders Waring, who recently died.
They contain among other information, details of interviews he conducted in building his defense.
Museum curator Michael Martins tells The Herald News (http://bit.ly/zhc36L) the journals contain some never before published information about the infamous case, including details some interviewees gave describing a caring relationship between Borden's father, Lizzie and her sister.
Borden was charged with using an ax to kill her father and stepmother in 1892. Although she was acquitted, many people thought she literally got away with murder.

The Phillies are back where they belong. Thanks to a huge day at the plate by Ryan Howard, the Phillies beat the Braves 8-7, and, with the Mets losing again, vaulted back into first place in the NL East. The Phillies have now won 5 games in a row while the Mets have now lost 4 of their last 5. Seems a lot like 2007, doesn't it?
Howard went 4 for 5 in tonight's contest, including the game winning home run in the 8th inning. Howard also his career-high 3rd triple of the season and drove in 3 total runs in the game. It's now time to add Ryan Howard's name to the NL MVP discussion. In a year where no one seems to be a run-away choice for the award, how can you not consider a guy who leads the majors in homers and RBIs by a wide margin? Howard's 45 homers put him ahead of Adam Dunn by 8 and his 136 RBIs put him ahead of Justin Morneau by 10. The knock on Howard is the strikeouts (190) and the batting average (.249) but he has been much improved at the plate since the All-Star break, hitting .262 and striking out once every 3.4 at bats, which is an improvement over his first half where he hit .234 and struck out once every 2.8 at bats. Plus, Howard is a top player on a team that looks like they are headed for the playoffs.
I'm not saying that Ryan Howard should win the MVP if the season ended today, but at this point his name has to be entered into consideration. Most "experts" think that Chase Utley is the better candidate from the Phillies, but he has had too many long stretches where he looks normal, and his batting average will end up below .300. Albert Pujols seems to be the experts choice right now for MVP, but his team isn't even going to make the playoffs. Howard's numbers make him an unconventional choice, but since there isn't a clear cut winner, it might be a season where an unconventional pick makes sense.
The Phillies are back where they belong and Ryan Howard should be back where he belongs: amongst the best in the league.
