TRITON SPOTLIGHT: Dr. Mary Sheffield Kuwana
Dr. Mary Sheffield Kuwana, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner at the Colorado Health Medical Group still recalls the Charter Day Celebrations she participated in. Her favoritememories include helping to build a hut for the hut competition which used to be a major highlight of the celebrations, and coordinating a water balloon fight between the Department of Nursing and the Communications Department.
Dr. Kuwana graduated from the University of Guam in 1985 with an AS from the College of Nursing. She also earned degrees from other institutions including her AA from Lake Sumter Community College, her BSN/MSN from the University of Florida in 2007, and her DNP at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in 2010.
Today, the proud UOG alumna provides health care for patients in the Colorado Springs area. She offers them preventative and chronic health maintenance care and she specializes in women's health, holistic health, and acute cardiac conditions.
She recently made contact with the University of Guam through our website. "I just wanted to send a note to the UOG College of Nursing and thank them for the strong nursing foundation they instilled in me. I completed my academic career with my Doctorate in Nursing Practice at the University of Colorado after raising my children," she says. "I am currently working as an independent practitioner and I attribute my holistic approach to the foundations I learned while attending UOG. I'm now 51 years old and am blessed with a successful practice. Thank you UOG College of Nursing," she adds.
Dr. Kuwana hopes that her former University classmates are all enjoying their lives and are mindful of their health. "I believe the foundation of health rests with loving your God, loving yourself, then you are enabled to love others, love what you do, and fully appreciate your life," she explains.
Dr. Kuwana is also a certified Reiki master. She believes the root cause of many illnesses is stress, and she works closely with patients to identify triggers and develop stress-management techniques. During her spare time, she volunteers at her grandchildren's school (when she's not spoiling them) and she enjoys skiing, hiking, and cycling.
I'd love to hear from you! If you'd like to be featured in our alumni spotlight, or if you know of an alum we can shine the spotlight on, please don't hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 735-2586.

First Shotgun
I've been wanting a shotgun in the aresenal for some time. I was walking around at the local gun show and a vendor had a pile of Mossberg shotguns for $199 each. I couldn't resist. I'm now the proud owner of a "Maverick 88" 12 ga which looks almost identical to their 500 series. It's got the 18.5" barrel and came with both a full butt stock and pistol grip. I mostly wanted it as a home defense piece, but the full stock makes it a viable choice for hunting if I ever so decide. Now I just have to find a range that allows shotguns so I can give it a test run.
Congratulations! I have several friends with Maverick shotguns, the nice thing about them is that the barrels will interchange with the 500 series, as will the butt stock and forearm should you ever want to switch them out. For hunting I'd suggest the 24" barrel with screw in chokes, but the 18.5" barrel that's on it should work well for deer using buckshot. I've had a 500 series with the 24" barrel with the screw in chokes for around 20 years now and have had excellent service out of it.
I had an 8 shot 500 issued at a previous agency that I tried to buy when I left. It had the rifle/slug sights and would group almost 1 MOA at 50 yards with Federal's sabot slugs and patterned very well with 00 and 000 buckshot. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a deer with it with those sabot slugs within 100 yards.
Congrats, they are good guns. Especially at that price point.
Enjoy, just be carefull, you may get hooked on the big bores like i did :D
you should try a double barrel 10 gauge,it kicks like a mule
Yeah, I don't have a lot of experience with shotguns, but when my dad saw it his first question was "Is it legal to have a barrel that short?" Here with the sudden intrest in home defense shotguns, the 18.5" barrel has almost become the standard. When I switched to the pistol grip, the gun is barely 27" total. It seems tiny, especially next to my only other rifle, a Mosin.

TAMPA — Former Hillsborough County Commissioner Brian Blair spent Father's Day in jail after his arrest early Sunday on charges that he punched his two sons.
Blair, 52, was arrested shortly after 5 a.m. after an altercation at his family's home in the Forest Hills area of Tampa, sheriff's Deputy Larry McKinnon said. Blair and his wife, Toni, have two sons, Brett and Bradley, according to his campaign Web site.
Blair, a former professional wrestler who is 6 feet tall and weighs 235 pounds, pushed his older son Brett, 17, in the chest about 4 a.m., according to an arrest report.
The teen tried to walk away, but Blair grabbed him and punched him in the face with a closed fist, leaving a red mark and swelling, the arrest report said.
Blair then put the 17-year-old in a choke hold, causing him to have trouble breathing, according to the report.
Deputies said Blair then let go of his older son and grabbed his younger son by the throat. He punched the boy, leaving a bump on his head, the arrest report said. In the report, a deputy gave the younger son's age as 12, though Blair's campaign Web site said he is 13.
Both sons identified their father as the person who attacked them, deputies said.
Blair was booked into the Hillsborough County jail on two felony counts of child abuse. As is standard procedure for someone facing a charge involving domestic violence, he was being held without bail Sunday. He is scheduled to appear today before Hillsborough Circuit Judge Walter Heinrich.
A woman at Blair's home did not open the front door late Sunday afternoon, but said, "I don't talk to reporters. Thank you, though."
Blair, who was part of a tag-team wrestling duo known as the Killer Bees, was elected to the District 6 countywide seat on the County Commission in 2004.
Last November, Blair was defeated for re-election by financial planner Kevin Beckner. After the election, Blair sued Beckner, contending that Beckner's campaign attacks on him were so over the top that they amounted to libel.
Beckner's attorneys have responded that the statements in dispute were nothing more than typical campaigning. Beckner merely reprinted or summarized statements that had already been made by or about Blair during the political contest, they said.
In addition to wrestling and politics, Blair has previously owned several Gold's Gyms, but his booking report indicated he is currently unemployed.
This is not the first time Blair has faced an allegation that he punched someone close to him.
On Sept. 25, 1984, a woman he had dated told a Hillsborough sheriff's deputy that Blair beat her during an argument inside her apartment, according to the deputy's report.
She told the deputy Blair had been drinking, threw her over a sofa, punched her 10 to 12 times in the head and pulled out a clump of her hair, and hair was retrieved as evidence. The woman said Blair also took more than $2,000 worth of gifts he had given her during their relationship.
The report indicates Blair was slated to be charged with battery and grand theft after a deposition at the State Attorney's Office. The report notes that no attempt was made to pick him up because he was out of the country.
Blair was never questioned, arrested or charged, though he returned to the country a few days later. He was also in the country for more than a week after the alleged incident.
Blair has acknowledged there was an unpleasant breakup, but said he was never violent.
"The whole thing was fabricated," he told the Times in 2002. "I absolutely swear to that."
Times staff writer Bill Varian contributed to this report.

Any brits/aussies/kiwis with straight pull ARs?
Any brits/aussies/kiwis with straight pull ARs?
I'd guess none of you Americans would bother with them, disregarding new/possible/upcoming etc laws you are fortunate to live in a gun friendly country compared to others.
I'd guess swapping uppers/barrels isn't as easy as with a real one?
Having it straight pull instead of real semi-auto would make for a more accurate rifle no?
Should work well even thou I am a lefthand shooter?
If I am reading correctly this should be perfectly legal for me as a swede and it is cheaper then a Blaser and potentially more fun
would get some looks but life is too short to be boring
Easier to suppress then a semi
if there is an option for quick barrel/upper swap I could see this being the only rifle I would need
some small pistol calibre for plinking and hunting varmint like badger
223 for fox and roedeer at a distance
308 or bigger for moose, beer and boar in different configurations
Anyone with experience?

Love the new designs, but I sure will miss the old ones to. Esp. the black moomin father mug.
Everybody loves the Moomins and this spring, two of the Moomin family's most desirable characters, Moominmamma and Moominpappa will renew their design on mugs, cereal bowl and plate. The lovely illustrations bring out the good in the personalities of the two beloved ones from the Moomin Valley.
These are two of the new 2014 Arabia Moomin mugs, the loving Moominmamma in apricot and the adventurous Moominpappa in blue. The illustrations are made by Tove Slotte-Elevant and will be available from Mars 3rd.
The Moomins were created by Tove Jansson. She got inspired from life around her, friends and family members. Someone was full of love and joy and another was a little bit grumpy and loved solitude. All pure and beautiful such as they were. One could say that in the beginning the stories were written more for adults. Later they became children's favourites as well. Tove had an extraordinary skill to present everything in a positive way, she showed that life is beautiful as it is and we should enjoy it! With her stories Tove created a life philosophy.
When buying Moomin items you buy more than just a mug or a bowl. You buy a thought and a positive attitude towards life. That is why Moomins are perfect gift both for yourself and your loved ones.

Welcome to the combined branch website of the B.M.S.G.H Bromsgrove and Stourbridge separate areas stretching across Worcestershire from Kidderminster to Kings Norton, Redditch and Tardebigge.
The aim of the site is to let our members know of the wealth of information that is available and pointers as to where to find it. The site will not be much use for Internet only, family historians. You'll still need to visit the record office or at least see original images.
Another aim is also to let members find other researchers or potential relatives quickly and safely, since we've tried to sabotage the spammers who harvest email addresses. If you're not a member and wish to join you can access our parent society's BMSGH membership page.
If you would like to discuss how to start out on your family history, or how to overcome your 'brick wall' then please get in touch. You can contact me using this link.
Branch Chairman, Bromsgrove BMSGH
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.45 p.m. at the Methodist Centre, Stratford Road, Bromsgrove, B60 1AS unless otherwise stated. There is a bookstall at each meeting with publications for the beginner to advanced family historian.

Mary Happel Palmer, RN,C, PhD, FAAN, AGSF
Dr. Palmer is the Helen W. and Thomas L. Umphlet Distinguished Professor in Aging in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing. She has conducted interdisciplinary research on the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for and correlates of urinary incontinence in adults. In the mid-1990s, she created a conceptual framework that addressed primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of urinary incontinence, which has become widely adopted. Her research with working women found that they encounter environmental barriers and engage in behaviors that may compromise bladder health. As a result of this work, she has collaborated with Dr. Kefang Wang from Shandong University, China in developing a research instrument: Women's Toileting Behavior's Scale (TB-WEB). Dr. Palmer's current research investigates the meaning of bladder health to women across the life span and confirmed that women engage in different behaviors dependent on the environment and their continence status. Her research also confirms findings of other researchers, that help-seeking behavior for urinary incontinence and other lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is low among affected adults, especially women. Dr. Palmer has authored numerous papers and book chapters, and two award-winning books on urinary continence.
Dr. Palmer is an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society and serves on the Editorial Boards of Geriatric Nursing and Faculty of 1000 Medicine. Dr. Palmer also serves on the Advisory Council of the NIH Office of Women's Health. She is the Vice-Chair of the Public Education Committee of the American Geriatrics Society. Dr. Palmer mentors Visiting International Scholars and she has been an international visiting scholar in Australia, Korea, and China. Dr. Palmer served two terms on the International Continence Society Ethics Committee and she was a member of the 5th International Consultation on Incontinence's Committee on Incontinence in the Frail Elderly.
Dr. Palmer received her B.S.N. and M.S. degrees from the University of Maryland at Baltimore, her Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health (now The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health), and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Goddard College. Upon completion of her doctoral program, she received her postdoctoral research training at the Behavioral Sciences Laboratory of the Gerontology Research Center, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, Gerontological Society of America, the American Geriatrics Society, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute for the Arts and Humanities Academic Leadership Program.

About GLEE:
Glee is a musical comedy about a group of ambitious and talented kids who escape the harsh realities of high school by joining a Glee club, where they find strength, acceptance and, ultimately, their voice. Last year's graduates and aspiring singers, RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michelle) and KURT HUMMEL (Chris Colfer), packed their bags for New York and enrolled at a prestigious performing arts school, NYADA, where they made new friends and learned the cruel realities of college. These naïve freshmen moved into a Brooklyn loft, signed up for internships, auditioned for Broadway shows and gained a roommate when SANTANA LOPEZ (Naya Rivera) moved to the Big Apple.
Since its debut, Glee has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors, including a Golden Globe Award and a Peabody Award, and singlehandedly made Glee clubs cool again. The series boasts critical acclaim, a die-hard fan base, two Grammy Award nominations, two platinum and five gold albums, more than 43 million songs and more than 13 million albums sold worldwide, two sold-out concert tours, a 3-D movie and four Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, including the award for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical.
Glee has attracted A-list guest stars, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker. This season, Demi Lovato (THE X FACTOR) guest-stars as "Dani," a New York-based struggling artist and friend of Rachel and Santana's.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS — A stay-at-home mother and her gang-member companion were arrested Tuesday when authorities found a marijuana grow house inside the duo's mobile home, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Acting on an anonymous tip, deputies knocked on the door Tuesday morning at 38535 Central Ave., in Crystal Springs near Zephyrhills. Inside, authorities found four plants growing inside a bedroom and bathroom, as well as 14 hydrocodone pills and another marijuana plant in the backyard, a report states.
Charles Ricardo Rosales, 29, was charged with trafficking in controlled substances, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and manufacture and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll said Rosales is a member of Legion of Doom, a motorcycle gang. Rosales' arrest report states he "meets the criteria as a criminal street gang member." He is being held at the Pasco County jail in lieu of $55,150 bail.
Shannon Amsler, 26, also faces the same marijuana growing and paraphernalia charges, as well as a charge of child neglect because an 8-year-old boy was in the house. She told authorities she knew the child "should not be around the (marijuana) plants," the report states. She was released from the Pasco County jail Wednesday on $5,150 bail.
The boy was taken to a family member, the report says.

Moyes trip sparks Koke speculation
Manchester United boss David Moyes is believed to have been scouting Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke after being spotted watching the Rojiblancos' Champions League victory over Porto.
• Miller: Who stays, who goes at United?
• Galatasaray's Sneijder cools Man Utd link
• Ashley Young admits to diving reputation
Atletico won 2-0 to further cement their position as Group G winners, but it was Moyes' attendance at the game that set tongues wagging, with speculation that he was there to see Koke in action.
The Atletico youth graduate has been a revelation this season, cementing his place as a key member of a side that has eased through to the last-16 of the Champions League and is currently joint top of the Primera Division standings, while also featuring in all seven of Spain's qualifying and friendly games since making his senior debut in August.
United would need to pay 20 million euros to prise Koke from Atletico as he has a release clause in his current deal, which runs until 2018, but the playmaker himself insisted after completing the 90 minutes against Porto in a deeper role than usual, that he was unaware of and unmoved by any potential interest from the English giants.
"I did not know anything about it," Koke told Canal Plus. "Neither does it bother me. I signed a new contract last summer."
Atletico sporting director Jose Luis Caminero played down the visit, saying it was most likely the United boss was running the rule over a potential opponent for later in the competition.
"I suppose that David Moyes has come to see a Champions League team like us," Caminero said. "They have qualified for the last 16. We have spoken, but he did not tell me exactly why he was here."
Koke is the latest in a long list of players Moyes and his coaching staff have watched as United look to bounce back from a difficult summer transfer window -- public pursuits of Cesc Fabregas, Thiago Alcantara and Ander Herrera all ended in disappointment -- by securing a big-name January signing.
Assistant manager Steve Round and first-team coach Jimmy Lumsden went to scout Borussia Dortmund winger Marco Reus when the Champions League finalists beat Napoli last month, while Phil Neville, another of United's first-team coaches, has paid a trip to Madrid to watch Real's Sami Khedira, for whom the Premier League champions bid in the summer, but who is now injured.
United are also believed to have monitored Roma midfielders Miralem Pjanic and Kevin Strootman. However, Moyes is known for attending as many games as he can and scouting players assiduously before making offers for them.
Athletic Bilbao midfielder Herrera reportedly remains on the Premier League champions' radar too, though the player has spoken recently about how he is happy now at his hometown club.

It was a full house in Curtis Hall theater last night for a screening of the film, Schooled: The Price of College Sports, which was produced by Bobby Valentine, SHU's executive director of Intercollegiate Athletics, and film producer Andrew Muscato. The film is based on the book, The Cartel, by Taylor Branch. It explores such issues as the large sums of money brought in by college sports, whether student-athletes should be paid beyond their athletic scholarships, the massive NCAA rulebook and the way it is applied and much more.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion/Q&A session with Valentine, Muscato and Brad Hurlbut, SHU's deputy director of Intercollegiate Athletics. The lively discussion served to further emphasize the differing and passionate viewpoints as the audience—mostly made up of students—shared their thoughts and asked questions about the various issues raised by the film. These are issues that won't soon be resolved, but Schooled provides a great starting point for a much-needed discussion.

Obama's School 'Punishment Equality' Folly
Posted By Walter Williams On April 17, 2014 @ 12:15 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | No Comments
George Leef, director of research for the North Carolina-based John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, authored a Forbes op-ed article titled "Obama Administration Takes Groupthink To Absurd Lengths." The subtitle is "School Discipline Rates Must Be 'Proportionate.'" (
). Let's examine some of the absurdity of the Obama administration's take on student discipline.
Last January, the departments of Justice and Education published a "guidance" letter describing how schools can meet their obligations under federal law to administer student discipline without discriminating on the basis of race, color or national origin. Its underlying threat is that if federal bureaucrats learn of racial disproportionality in the punishments meted out for misbehavior, they will descend upon a school's administrators. If schools cannot justify differentials in rates of punishment by race or ethnic group, they will face the loss of federal funds and be forced to undertake costly diversity training.
The nation's educators can avoid sanctions by adopting a racial quota system for student discipline. So as Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity, predicts, "school officials will either start disciplining students who shouldn't be, or, more likely, will not discipline some students who ought to be." I can imagine school administrators reasoning this way: "Blacks are 20 percent of our student body, and 20 percent of suspensions this year have been of black students. In order to discipline another black student while maintaining our suspension quota, we will have to suspend some white students, whether they're guilty or not." Some administrators might see some injustice in that approach and simply ignore the misbehavior of black students.
Leef cites Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald, who wrote in City Journal (
) that "the Departments of Education and Justice have launched a campaign against disproportionate minority discipline rates, which show up in virtually every school district with significant numbers of black and Hispanic students.
The possibility that students' behavior, not educators' racism, drives those rates lies outside the Obama administration's conceptual universe." She quoted Aaron Benner, a black teacher in a St. Paul, Minn., school who abhors the idea that school officials should go easy on black students who act up because (as a "facilitator" said) that's what black culture is. "They're trying to pull one over on us. Black folks are drinking the Kool-Aid; this 'let-them-clown' philosophy could have been devised by the KKK." Benner is right. I can't think of a more racist argument than one that holds that disruptive, rude behavior and foul language are a part of black culture.
If Barack Obama's Department of Justice thinks that disproportionality in school punishments is probative of racial discrimination, what about our criminal justice system, in which a disproportionate number of blacks are imprisoned, on parole or probation, and executed? According to the NAACP's criminal justice fact sheet, blacks now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million people who are incarcerated. Blacks are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites. The NAACP goes on to report that if blacks and Hispanics were incarcerated at the same rate as whites, today's prison and jail populations would decline by approximately 50 percent (
So what to do? For example, blacks are 13 percent of the population but over 50 percent of homicide victims and about 46 percent of convicted murderers. Seeing as the Obama administration is concerned about punishment disproportionality, should black convicts be released so that only 13 percent of incarcerated murderers are black? Or should the Department of Justice order the conviction of whites, whether they're guilty or not, so that the number of people convicted of murder by race is equal to their number in the general population? You say, "Williams, that not only is a stupid suggestion but violates all concepts of justice!" You're absolutely right, but isn't it just as stupid and unjust for the Obama administration to seek punishment equality in schools?

Covering Cake Boards - With Any Kind Of Paper?
Decorating By KieslerKakes Updated 3 Jun 2009 , 7:06pm by cylstrial
When covering your cake boards do you purchase the wrapping from a cake decorating store, or can you use any type of gift wrapping paper. I've seen several boards on this site covered and I was wondering what everyone used. I know some boards are covered in fondant, but some seem to be paper. Thanks.
A lot of people use any kind of paper, then cover it with clear contact paper. Plain paper will show grease marks.
If you are not using the fancifoil cake-board covering foodsafe foil, then yeah, you need to cover yourpaper (or fabric!) with a foodsafe plastic covering.
Some types of Contact clear adhesive plastic covrering is apparently not food safe - so it pays to check
I use the clear contact paper and just make sure the cake is not sitting on it directly. I put the cake on another board that is the same size as the cake. Even some of those fanci foils aren't food safe, who knows!!! But even when I use them I put the cake on a board, never directly on the foil.
I purchased the foil from the cake store that I shop at in town. I asked the owner about it as well, just to make sure I do the wright thing. I have always covered my cak boards with the foil from her store or purchased at Hobby Lobby in the Wilton aisle. thanks
I prefer fondant. As long as your cake isn't touching the paper then it would be fine but I suggest you just use something that is made for food.
Good luck
I purchased the foil from the cake store that I shop at in town. I asked the owner about it as well, just to make sure I do the wright thing. I have always covered my cak boards with the foil from her store or purchased at Hobby Lobby in the Wilton aisle. thanks
Florist foil is not necessarily food safe but is sold abundantly from our cake deco stores. The Wilton paper is food safe. Maybe some others but not florist foil. Like has been already said, a work around is to place the cake on it's own cardboard circle.
I always use white freezer paper.
I just did my first board covered in fondant...I loved it! I don't think I will ever use fancy foil again.
I always use white freezer paper.
When you use the freezer paper do you turn the shiny side up to keep from having grease spots if you use buttercream? I just bought a roll of freezer paper & I noticed the fondant doesn't spot but the buttercream does?
Yes, always shiny side up.
I use scrapbook paper that color coordinates with my cake. Then I cover it with the Glad press and seal plastic. Works great!
I knew there had to be more to the story. I have seen some pretty fancy boards and knew they weren't foil or fondant. I was going to try wrapping paper and cover it with clear freezer paper or I could use the glad press n seal. That's the best thing ever invented. thanks
I'm not sure where to find the contact paper. Say if I was in Walmart, what area would it be in? Is it a big roll?
I think you would look where the shelf paper would be. It is in a roll just like it but clear.
I can't obtain a food grade clear contact paper - or just haven't found it yet. I use any type of gift wrap, etc that matches my design/color theme, then cover the entire thing with clear cellophane foil. Really allows me a lot of freedom in colors, though a bit of a pain in the doubling of efforts.
My walmart has a fabric section ( i know that they have taken them out of alot of stores). I get a fabric that coordinates with the cake. Then I cover it with the food safe vinyl that walmart sells on a big roll. It is only 97 cents a yard. It is over by the large rolls of vinyl table cloth on a roll. One yard does several cakes, so it is super cheap, and lets me really personalize the board.
I havent been doing this very long but I use the Glad Press N Seal. Not sure if this is what you are asking...
I exploit the heck out of the scrapbook paper section at the craft store. Then cover with clear Contact paper. Believe it or not, there aren't little Contact paper germs biting at the reins to jump into your cake and poison it. I mean really....there is hardly any cake actually touching the paper, maybe a teeny little edge of frosting. Works like a charm, and makes a beautiful cake board when paired with coordinating ribbon around the edge of the board/drum.
Thanks Shelly! I'll check that out!

#BombayTalkies is fantastic, each short film masterfully crafted. Expectedly, though, the Dibakar-Nawazuddin combo wins by a margin.

And that's the idea behind Bombay Talkies, a cinema anthology,
directed by Karan Johar [ Images ], Dibakar Banerjee [ Images ], Zoya Akhtar [ Images ] and Anurag
It's not a comprehensive probe into the nearly-religious fervour for the movies or the innermost workings of showbiz. Instead what play out are four individualistic, intimate tributes by contemporary directors with a distinct approach to filmmaking.
If Johar is known for glaze, Akhtar brings perspective; Banerjee's narrative breaks new grounds whereas Kashyap scores in nuanced writing. Their skill set varies from another.
To be willingly adjudged for their combined creativity, fully aware comparisons lie ahead, regardless of the fact that all four films are completely dissimilar in content, tone and texture reflects inspiring maturity, faith in one's self and a sense of, well, sportsmanship.
Having said that, there's a refreshing consistency in the intellectual aesthetics of all four shorts, it's like a visual proof to the phrase 'on the same page' and it's not something frequent. One could complain, where's the signature touch? But in collaboration, the closer they merge, the stronger they emerge.
It certainly holds true for Karan Johar who begins with his offering, Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh. It's not so much about moving away from one's comfort zone as it is about testing one's potential. It's fabulous to witness him open up behind the camera like never before.
There's an exchange between two characters wherein one says, 'You wanna come in?' To this the other responds, 'You wanna come out?' This scene, for me, defines the first segment of the story. What is it about? Let's just say it's an exploration into the anxiety, politics and provocations of urban relationships.
Where does the movie connect come? It's subtle.
Bollywood, here, is part of small talk, zany humour, sacrosanct ambiance or a fodder for amusing theories. A kid on the bridge sings Ajeeb dastan hai yeh (Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayee) and Lag ja gale (Woh Kaun Thi?).
A music enthusiast's study is filled with rare records and movie memorabilia. Or picking a favourite between Sridevi [ Images ] and Madhuri Dixit [ Images ] determines, er, you'll have to book a ticket to find out.
While a reserved Randeep Hooda [ Images ] and impudent Saqib Saleem articulate different kinds of intense, it's Rani Mukerji [ Images ]'s flawless artistry as an imprisoned soul wearing a mark of normalcy, (even if you see those lovely freckles in all their splendour), which elevates the emotional core of Johar's story, is its dignity and strength.
Speaking of strength, there's tons of it on display in Dibakar Banerjee's Star, which follows immediately after. Based on Satyajit Ray [ Images ]'s short story -- Patol Babu, Film Star, Star features Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a struggling actor residing in a rundown chawl who wants to soar in the eyes of his daughter more than anything else.
Star, which celebrates the ties between opportunity and spirit, features an Emu, a supporting cast of ladies with melting smiles, some sprightly assistant directors and a masterfully utilised Sadashiv Amrapurkar.
And the camerawork by Nikos Andritsakis is simply brilliant in putting all of it across. Just that standalone moment with real cars rushing past a remote-controlled toy vehicle, their co-existence on an active street is so mesmerising.
Soon after the focus shifts on the figure controlling the remote, 'Hum
sirf bhai ko dekhta hai,' he dismissively responds when informed of a movie
star shooting nearby. And in one brief moment, Banerjee conveys the veneration
reserved for the superstar of the masses --Salman Khan.
It's tricky to discuss my favourite segment in Bombay Talkies without revealing too much. So I'll just say this, even a 25-minute film can change the way you look at, the additions not extras, who fills the frames. Siddiqui's rehearsal scene and the actual filming are moments that inspire, motivate and create a cinema worth paying tribute to whether 100 or 10 years old. His Marathi is slightly rusty but when he excitedly divulges, 'Tula mahiti hai papa ne aaj kai kela?' against the stirring score of Rabindranath Tagore [ Images ]'s song ---Tobu mone rekho, an accent seems too trivial a technicality to pit against his day's achievement.
After the feel-good Star, it's Zoya Akhtar's turn to enchant with Sheila Ki Jawani. When I saw the promos, I thought her portions resembled Sudipto Chattopadhyay's Pankh but I couldn't be more wrong.
As children, watching your mother get dressed up, especially the delicate art of applying lipstick intrigues most of us. The only thing unusual here is that instead of a girl, it's a little boy (Naman Jain) who shares this fascination.
Pressurised by his well-meaning but stern father (Ranvir Shorey [ Images ]), he doesn't care for football and harbours Katrina-Kaif inspired dreams. One might try to read more than there is in this premise but there's just no need. Kids indulge in all sorts of silliness. Not every action needs to be rummaged for deeper undertones.
Recall a similar plot in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna where Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ] disparages his son for picking music over sport. Akhtar, however, concentrates on the simple conflicts of childhood with dialogues that reflect their age, instead of the maker. So when one says, 'Do you want to be an air hostess?' The profundity in the other's reply is as straightforward as, 'No I want to be a passenger.'
The eventual pay off is reminiscent to Shashi Kapoor's Bilva Mangal moment in Aag. Both the young members of the cast -- Naman Jain and Khushi Dubey do really well as a pair of siblings looking out for each other. Jain gets extra brownie points for those terrific moves in the segment's spectacular even if simplistic climax.
Anurag Kashyap's tribute to cinema, Murraba is dedicated to Amitabh Bachchan [ Images ]. Personally, I found it weakest of all the four film because its movement gets a bit repetitive after a while. Moreover, an overzealous Vineet Kumar as the Allahabad native fails to endear himself or gain sympathy in his fervent pursuit of Big B [ Images ].
Also his fixation is indirect so the hysterics don't register convincingly.
There are some fine moments too. Despite all that build up, Kashyap doesn't compromise and turn the superstar into an accessible entity. He is used like an apparition, a believable, tangible apparition and he lets that aura remain. What I liked most was how he uses Mumbai [ Images ], its people and how they survive on spunk and sense of humour without darkness taking over their being or livelihoods.
Bombay Talkies may or may not celebrate cinema in the direct sense. Except for its hopelessly tacky end- credits -- a complete waste of star power and resources, Bombay Talkies is an absorbing ode to the language of cinema that is part of our collective system.
It honours the imagination and enthusiasm that attracts so many young men and women in this country to embrace a life of risk and rush – filmmaking.

In addition to the child abuse charges, Ebersberger was charged with one count of sale of a controlled substance, two charges of trafficking in oxycodone and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
As of Friday evening, she was being held in the Pinellas County Jail on $120,500 bail.

Asked why his ship's crew played the same role in the World War II invasions of Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, gunner's mate Edward Robbins says, "We were that good." His crewmate, Will Pereira of Novato, shoots back, "Don't believe a word he says."
The two were ribbing each other at the 20th reunion of the crew of the USS LST-70 at Pereira's home in Novato on Friday, attended by about 30 people, including spouses, children and grandchildren of the war veterans.
The crew, made up of both Coast Guard and Navy sailors, scattered across the United States in 1945 at the end of the war. In 1992, crew member Hewitt Underwood, a Louisiana resident, tracked down his crew members and held the first reunion at his home. The gatherings have been going on annually ever since.
"This event is huge for them. They bring their photo albums and share their stories," said Jenny Underwood, Pereira's oldest granddaughter, who lives with the 87-year-old veteran. "This might be the last reunion, with all the gentlemen at the age they are."
Born in Sausalito, Pereira has lived in Novato since 1954. He joined the Navy in 1943. A Navy motor machinist mate 2nd class, it was Pereira's job to make sure the ship's engines were running.
During the battle of Iwo Jima, he witnessed the iconic raising of the U.S. flag on top of Mount Suribachi by five U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy battlefield Hospital Corpsman — an event immortalized in one of the best-known photographs in U.S. history.
"I was on break, and I saw something happening on Mount Suribachi. So I took out my spyglass and looked. I just thought, oh well, the Marines are putting up a flag," laughed Pereira.
The photograph of the flag-raising, taken by Novato resident Joseph Rosenthal, went on to earn a Pulitzer Prize. The battle was a decisive victory for the United States.
While Pereira kept the ship's engines running, Robbins, now 85, kept the guns firing. He spent many a battle on deck tending to the guns.
"We were strafed several times," Robbins said. "There was no protection at all on the deck of the ship." He wasn't frightened, Robbins said.
"You don't have time to be frightened. You have a job to do. You were trained to do your job, and you do it," said Robbins, a retiree who sold insurance after returning to his Indiana home in 1945. None of the crew of 200 enlisted men and 15 officers on the ship died during the war, Pereira said.
The ship's primary purpose was transportation. It carried amphibious tractors to the beaches.
While centered around Pereira's home, with a barbecue on Friday, this year's reunion, which began Wednesday and continues to Saturday, included other activities. The group went on a bay cruise, a visit to Alcatraz, shopping and lunch at Pier 39 and dinner in Sausalito. A business meeting was scheduled for Saturday.
The reunion has a special meaning for Pereira's family. "My husband lost two uncles in Iwo Jima, on Japan's side," said Sharon Pereira-Matsumoto, Pereira's daughter. "When we got engaged, I sat my parents down to tell them. I said my fiance was Japanese, and Dad didn't bat an eye. I said, 'But you were at war with the Japanese.' He said, 'Oh, that means nothing. Is he a good man? Does he make you happy?'"
Pereira and the crew returned to the United States for good in December 1945. "Standard speed is 270 turns. I kicked the throttle up to emergency (levels) on the way home," the former motor machinist said. "An officer asked how fast we were going and I said, '270 turns.' He said, 'sure.' He knew I wanted to get back home for Christmas Eve."

Dominique Swain
Dominique first caught our attention as an underage nymphet in Adrian Lyne's Lolita (1997), and has since starred in a diverse array of films, including the recent Briar Patch (2002).
AppealWhile she doesn't think she's changed much since Lolita, Dominique Swain has definitely grown into the sensuality and sex appeal she portrayed as a young teenager. With her intense stare and often breathless, open-mouthed expression, Swain's sweet brand of seduction still gives off the forbidden feel of a hungry, young tigress.
Not afraid to pose for provocative photo shoots in clingy slip dresses or mini-shorts with her long, wild hair "conveniently" covering certain attributes, Swain is an alluring combination of curves, confidence and sexy attitude.
SuccessUndeniably most famous for her silver screen debut, Swain has starred in several movie projects since the controversial film. First finding work again as the rebellious Jamie Archer in John Woo's Face/Off (1997), she then wandered through the 1998 music video for Shawn Mullins' "Lullaby" before turning to lead roles in Girl (1999), Intern (2000), and The Smokers (2000).
Dominique hasn't slowed down since, although her film roles have been more recognized by critics than anyone else; she snagged roles in Tart (2001), Happy Campers (2001), Pumpkin (2002), New Best Friend (2002), and the teen thriller Dead in the Water (2002). More recently, Dominique starred as Inez, a wife planning a hit on her husband, in Briar Patch (2002). Plunging briefly back into the music scene, Swain also made an appearance in Moby's 2002 music video for "We Are All Made of Stars."
She's a sexy standout in every role she takes on, but Swain is still toted as a minor, little-known actress. Still, she's becoming more and more recognized for her roles in smaller, independent films, sometimes producing comparisons to another confident cutie (and her Pumpkin costar), Christina Ricci.
Dominique Swain BiographyBorn in her father's Datsun on the Santa Monica freeway, Dominique Adrian Swain was born on August 12, 1980. She grew up in Malibu with her parents and four siblings, living a modest lifestyle and enduring the usual teenage humiliations of crooked teeth and catty classmates at Malibu High School. Swain excelled at learning, earning straight A's and becoming Valedictorian like her sister before her. Then, in her sophomore year, Swain's life took a famous turn.
from stunt double to double take
Dominique Swain had already officially launched her Hollywood career as a stunt double; she appeared under the ice as Macaulay Culkin's younger sister in Joseph Ruben's The Good Son (1993), then almost nabbed the role of "Claudia" in Interview with the Vampire (1994). But it was in 1997, when Swain was just fourteen, that she was chosen out of 2,500 girls to play the title role in Adrian Lyne's controversial remake of Lolita (the film couldn't pin down an American distributor and was only released in Europe). Snapping her gum and flouncing around Jeremy Irons' besotted Humbert Humbert, Swain was critically praised for adding a contemporary feel to the sensual, bratty Dolores "Lolita" Haze, and for delivering a remarkable performance opposite seasoned actors Jeremy Irons and Melanie Griffith.
Following Lolita, Swain played John Travolta's rebellious daughter in Face/Off (1997), then appeared with long blonde hair and a lost look in Shawn Mullins' "Lullaby" video (1998). Dominique's role in Lolita brought her significant notoriety, which she cemented by plunging into a party lifestyle that verged on excessive. It was Swain herself who eventually put a stop to her inner wild child -- she's given up drinking altogether.
dominique and diversity
Since Face/Off, most of Swain's projects have been more critically than commercially acclaimed; from the soul-searching, unlikely groupie Andrea Marr in Girl (1999) to the vengeful Jefferson Roth in The Smokers (2000), Dominique has played a wide variety of characters in often lesser-known films.
Taking on several projects in the same year, Dominique's growing list of film credits include Intern (2000), Tart (2001), Happy Campers (2001), Pumpkin (2002), New Best Friend (2002), Dead in the Water (2002), and Briar Patch (2002). Adding another music video to her resume, Swain also recently appeared in the celeb-saturated video for Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars" (2002).
As she explained in an interview with UniverCity.com, Swain is eager to take on parts that let her "experience a lot of different walks of life." Although many of her roles have involved sex, the rising star is also open to playing tamer characters, believing that "the more you can relate to people's problems the more it allows you to experience yourself. Wholesome girls have problems too."
a future in film
With her acting skills already widely critically acclaimed and her penchant for choosing savory, albeit non-blockbuster roles, it's clear that Dominique Swain has nothing but success and a career of interesting films ahead of her. She has outrun Lolita's shadow, ditched her wild rep and continues to consistently prove her diverse talents as an actress.
Swain is currently enrolled in university and living in Santa Monica, California. And while we've come across brief, vague mentions of a boyfriend, it's not clear whether Swain's got a steady boy toy there's hope for you yet!

Plans to demolish and reconstruct much of Dana Point Harbor's "commercial core" will be reviewed by the city Planning Commission at a hearing Monday.
The commission meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in City Hall council chambers, 33282 Golden Lantern.
If approved, a coastal development permit would allow construction to begin on a $150 million harbor renovation plan that has been in the works for more than a decade.
The application includes plans to demolish 13 buildings and replace them with seven structures containing an additional 30,000 square feet of retail, commercial and office space in the harbor.
While plans are in place for waterside renovations that include replacing the harbor's 2,500 boat slips, the permit focuses only on landside improvements. It does include approval in concept for a dry-stack boat storage facility, also known as a "boat barn."
The waterside improvements and 60,000-square-foot boat storage facility must still be reviewed by the California Coastal Commission, while the landside project can get under way if approved by the city.
Street work could start in January, with construction on a parking deck planned for summer 2015 and building construction starting in 2016.

Sinfully SoftNot so smooth skin? This body wash will save you! Caress Moisturizing body wash actually does bring moisture back into your skin. The first time I used this I felt a sudden change in the way my skin felt. It felt smooth, silky, and soft. All I wanted to do was rub my arms and legs to feel the smoothness. It was a very pleasant smell and is really worth it. — 9 years, 10 months agoSMAW814 | 3 reviews

THE World Bank has applauded the way Uganda dealt with the Ebola epidemic in the year 2000, Maria Kiwanuka, the finance minister has revealed upon her return from Washington.
"We should applaud our unsung heroes who made sure our episode of Ebola was quickly contained. I have been at the World Bank and we were applauded for dealing with the Ebola virus within our budget,
"It showed that even with the little financial resources, the current structure of our health ministry was able to deal with the epidemic," Kiwanuka said after inaugurating the 6th Insurance Regulatory Board (IRA) at the finance ministry.
Before the epidemic in West Africa, the worst outbreak at the time was recorded in Uganda in 2000. More than 425 people contracted the Ebola virus and nearly half died mainly in the northern district of Gulu.
A global UN appeal for nearly $1 billion (sh2.7 trillion) has so far fallen short, with only $385.9 million given by governments and agencies, and a further $225.8 million promised.

Elsewhere in the political world, Public Accounts Committee chairman John McGuinness had to weather a storm over wanting to travel with his wife when he was a minister, while the world learned more about one of the biggest leaks in US history.
All that and more, it's the week in quotes:
