The foundation supports four national grant programs as well as three properties that were owned by Doris Duke in Hillsborough, New Jersey, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Newport, Rhode Island. Created in 1996 and headquartered in New York City, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is governed by a board of eleven Trustees. As of December 31, 2009, the foundation's endowment totaled approximately $1.5 billion, and the foundation's grant programs have approved 1,061 grants totaling approximately $724 million. More information about the foundation's three properties and its Arts, Environment, Child Abuse Prevention and Medical Research Programs can be found at www.ddcf.org. Snapshots from 2008 CRF Fellows Meeting For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class iv About Doris Duke Born on November 22, 1912 in New York City, Doris Duke was the only child of James Buchanan Duke, who founded the American Tobacco Company, the Duke Energy Company and was a principal benefactor of Duke University. When J.B. Duke died in 1925, he divided his fortune between the Duke Endowment – a foundation he established to serve the people of the Carolinas – and his 12-year-old daughter. Throughout her life, Doris Duke enthusiastically pursued her varied interests. Fascinated by different cultures, she gathered countless treasures on her worldwide excursions and acquired remarkable collections of Islamic and Southeast Asian art. She was a lifelong environmentalist with a keen interest in conservation and horticulture. Her interest in the performing arts was demonstrated not only by her patronage, but also by her participation as a jazz pianist and composer, a student of modern dance, and a singer with a gospel choir in New Jersey. Although Doris Duke lived a private life, she contributed to a number of public causes. She was an active supporter of medical research and child welfare throughout her life. When she was just 21, she established a foundation called Independent Aid, which later became the Doris Duke Foundation. It is estimated that she gave away more than $400 million in current dollars during her lifetime, often as anonymous contributions. Doris Duke died in October 1993 at the age of 80. In her will, she left the majority of her estate to the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Snapshots from 2009 CRF Fellows Meeting For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class v I. General CRF Program Description A. History The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's Clinical Research Fellowship (CRF) Program is designed to encourage medical students to pursue careers in clinical research by giving exceptional students the opportunity to take a year to experience clinical research first hand. The CRF Program began in 2000 at seven1 medical schools across the United States with 42 students in its charter class. One year later, three2 more schools joined the program and in 2008, two3 more schools joined the program. Participating schools are selected based on a peer-review process. Six4 schools among the current 12 are now offering international fellowship opportunities, and 733 medical students have participated to date. B. Program Goals The CRF Program goal is to encourage medical students to pursue clinical research careers and to increase the number of physicians capable of translating basic research findings into new treatments, preventions, and cures for human diseases. It accomplishes this goal by providing medical students with mentored didactic and research training at 12 outstanding U.S. medical centers. C. Type of Research Each Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellow must conduct research that meets the Foundation's definition of clinical research. (On occasion, if a fellow's clinical research project is delayed, he or she may work for very short periods on small projects that do not strictly meet the definition.) 1. Foundation's Definition of Clinical Research: For the purposes of the CRF Program, clinical research is defined as research with human subjects with direct application to the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of any disease, including: • Studies on the etiology and pathogenesis of human disease • Therapeutic interventions • Clinical trials • Epidemiological studies • Disease control research • Health outcomes research The Medical Research Program of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation does not fund research that uses animals. 1 Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Harvard Medical School, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas, and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis 2 Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Yale University School of Medicine 3 Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine 4 Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Harvard Medical School, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Yale University School of Medicine For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 1 2. Use of Human Subjects: All research projects involving human subjects conducted in connection with the CRF Program must have written evidence of documentation of education in the protection of human subjects for the trainees, compliance with required federal guidelines, and approval from an institutional review board (IRB). IRB approvals must be maintained and be in effect throughout the project's connection with the CRF Program. II. CRF Program Management A. Foundation Management The CRF Program is centrally managed by Dr. Betsy Myers, Medical Research Senior Program Officer of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Dr. Myers and the Program Associate, Jennifer O'Rourke, carry out coordination of the program across the 12 schools. Ms. O'Rourke serves as the first point of contact for the Foundation for applicants, fellows, and Program Leaders and Administrators. In addition, she facilitates communication between the different year-out programs and the community by maintaining the online resources, providing program updates as needed, collating and maintaining program data on past and present fellows, and plans and implements the CRF meeting. B. Program Management at Each School Each CRF school has at least one Program Leader and one Program Administrator. The Program Leader(s) run the CRF Program at each participating school. As such, they establish the admission standards, oversee the selection of fellows at their own institutions, help match fellows with the best mentors, plan local program activities, disperse supplementary funds to fellows (as needed), monitor progress of the fellows throughout the year, and market and publicize the program to potential applicants. The Program Administrator handles the daily management of their institution's CRF program and generally serves as the first point-of-contact for prospective applicants and current fellows. III. Program Details A. Requirements of Fellowship The following are the core CRF Program Requirements that all fellows must fulfill during their fellowship year. In addition to these core requirements, each CRF school may have additional requirements that include didactic training, meetings, presentations, or other research-related activities. 1. Length of Fellowship: Fellows must complete the entire length of the fellowship, which is 12 months with 2 weeks of vacation (up to 3 weeks with Program Leader permission). The Program Leader must approve other types of leave or variations on the timing of the fellowship. Leaves are not typically granted to study for the United States Medical Licensing Exam. Fellows are expected to find time to study for the USMLE during their regular school terms and/or use vacation or personal time. 2. Research Requirement: Each fellow must have primary responsibility, under the guidance of the mentor, for conducting a research project that falls within the foundation's definition of For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 2 clinical research. Despite additional time spent in didactic training and other program activities, the fellow is expected to spend at least 10 consecutive months engaged in their research project(s). 3. Didactic Requirements: Fellows must fulfill their CRF school's didactic requirements. 4. Year End Meeting and Abstract: Fellows must submit to the foundation at least one abstract summarizing a research project conducted during their fellowship year. This abstract will be published in the CRF abstract book to be distributed at the annual CRF meeting. This book also serves as part of the historical record of the work of each class of fellows. Fellows must attend and present their fellowship research at the annual end-of-the-year meeting through either a poster or oral presentation. The Program Leader for each school will assign the method of presentation for their fellows. 5. CRF Program Surveys: Each fellow must complete an entrance survey at the start of the year, an exit survey at the end, and evaluation surveys after the fellowship is over. The Foundation's entrance and exit surveys of each class of fellows are used to assess fellow satisfaction and to evaluate the programs at the twelve participating schools. This information is used to continually refine the program and ensure that it responds to the fellows needs. 6. Research Credit: Each fellow must credit the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation in any publication or poster resulting from the fellowship year. The recommended wording of such an acknowledgement is: "This work was supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation to <institution> to fund Clinical Research Fellow <fellow's name>." 7. Contact Information Post-fellowship: Upon completion of the fellowship year, fellows will be required to provide their Program Administrator with new contact information for tracking purposes. If possible, fellows should provide permanent email and mailing addresses (rather than school- or employment-based addresses). Periodic surveys will be sent to all fellows to track their career progress. B. Resources Offered to Fellows 1. Stipends: The total fellowship stipend for the 2010-2011 year is $27,000. Under the Internal Revenue Code, income received as a fellowship stipend is generally included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Please note that fellows are responsible for establishing the amount of their taxable income and for making any required payments of estimated tax. Internal Revenue Service information regarding fellowships can be obtained from the following Web site: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/students/index.html 2. Health Insurance: All fellows are to be provided with individual health insurance. Often, this takes the form of reimbursing fellows for retaining health insurance with their home medical school. Program Administrators at each CRF school will work with their school's fellows to determine the best way to obtain the needed health insurance coverage. 3. Supplemental Funding: Most mentors will have the necessary equipment and supplies in place before a fellow begins his/her project. Nevertheless, each fellow has access to up to $5,000 in For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 3 supplementary funds to support training-related costs such as travel to scientific meetings, laboratory supplies, equipment, publication costs, books, fees for specific courses related to the fellowship, and continued work in the year following the fellowship, if needed. With their Program Leader's direct approval, supplementary funds can be used during the fellowship year or the year following the fellowship. The uses to which these funds can be applied may vary from institution to institution. At the beginning of the fellowship year, fellows should check with their school's CRF Program Leader to determine how requests for supplementary funds are processed. 4. Mentors: Each fellow will work directly with at least one clinical research mentor whose research activities match the interests of the student. International fellows should have at least two committed mentors: one at the U.S. school and one at the international institution. With guidance from their mentors, fellows must develop a research protocol that falls within the Foundation's definition of clinical research. Mentors are expected to meet with their fellows on a weekly basis and to ensure that fellows have the resources needed to accomplish their research project. If a fellow's research interest crosses several disciplines, multiple investigators may mentor him or her, one from each discipline. Depending on the school, mentors may be assigned prior to or after the student's arrival. 5. Didactic Training: Lectures and classes are to be provided by each CRF school. These vary among CRF institutions but often include general lectures on methods in clinical research and research ethics as well as statistics and epidemiology courses. Some schools offer courses that can be taken for credit and may be accepted as transfer credit. These courses may be applied to an advanced degree. Fellows should check with their CRF school's Program Administrator to determine whether they are eligible to take these courses for credit. C. Meetings 1. CRF Year End Meeting: Exiting fellows are required to attend the CRF meeting. The Foundation covers the costs of housing and board while the CRF institutions provide air and ground travel. Attendance at these meetings is limited to CRF Fellows, Program Leaders, Program Administrators, and invited guests. All fellows must submit to the Foundation at least one abstract on the research they conducted during their fellowship year. This abstract will be published in the CRF abstract book to be distributed at the meeting. This book also serves as part of the historical record of the work of each class of fellows. 2. Clinical Investigator Student Trainee Forum (CIST): The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host CIST in Bethesda, Maryland on November 18-19, 2010, to bring together medical students participating in clinical and translational research fellowships around the country. Doris Duke CRF fellows are invited to participate. Invited participants are provided with travel and lodging through NIH, not the Foundation. A contractor that works with the NIH coordinates all travel and lodging arrangements. The two-day program of lectures and panels allows participants to learn more about academic careers in clinical research and to interact with peers in similar programs. The organizers of the CIST Forum have made clear their preference that all attendees should stay for the full duration of the meeting. If one cannot attend the full meeting, they should possibly opt not to attend. If they choose to attend only a portion of the meeting, that guest is For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 4 asked to make their own travel and lodging arrangements. International CRF fellows will be invited to attend the following year after completing their fellowship. D. Changing Mentors While it is very unusual, it is possible for a fellow to change his/her mentor during the fellowship year. Fellows who do not believe their mentors are giving them adequate guidance and support or who desire to change research fields should first speak with their CRF school Program Leader(s). E. Loan Deferment CRF fellows with student loans should be eligible for loan deferment and should take action to defer their loans as soon as possible. Most lenders require a letter from the Dean of the school of matriculation that supports the fellow's participation in the CRF program. If needed, fellows can request from the foundation a certification letter that can be sent to their lending institution as proof of participation in the CRF program. Questions about loan deferments should be directed first to the Program Administrators at the CRF schools and second to the CRF Program Associate. F. Relocating Fellows The following issues are relevant to fellows who are taking their fellowship at a medical school at which they are not matriculated (relocating fellows): 1. Malpractice Insurance: In order to see patients, CRF program fellows must be covered by an institutional malpractice insurance policy. This may be problematic for fellows working at schools at which they are not matriculated. Program Administrators will work with fellows to try to resolve this issue. 2. Matriculation Status: It is very important that fellows know their matriculation status at their home medical school. Changes in matriculation status may affect a fellow's eligibility for health and malpractice insurance, loan repayment, and other programs. In addition to working with each fellow's own school administration, CRF program staff may be able to provide advice on some of these issues. 3. Financial Aid: Fellows should check with their medical school to ensure they will retain a student's standing for future financial aid if a research year is taken. Also, fellows should ask if it would affect their student loan repayment schedule. 4. Fees at Home School: Fellows should check with their medical school as some past fellows have been required by their home schools to pay certain student fees and/or a continuation fee to keep their place within their medical school class. For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 5 IV. Communications and Foundation Contact Information A. CRF Web Site A web site for CRF (http://www.ddcf.org/mrp-crf) provides CRF fellows, alumni, and applicants with important program information. At this site, there are links to the CRF Fellows Handbook and information about CRF meetings, clinical research, IRB and research ethics, journals, and loan repayment and other financial resources. B. E-mail Contact Information The Foundation's primary form of communication with fellows throughout the year is e-mail. Please update the Foundation throughout the year to any changes in your e-mail or contact information. C. Foundation Staff and Contractor Betsy Myers, Ph.D. Senior Program Officer for Medical Research Doris Duke Charitable Foundation 650 Fifth Avenue 19th Floor New York, NY 10019 E-mail: email@example.com Tel: (212) 974-7095 Jennifer O'Rourke CRF Program Associate American Institute of Biological Sciences 1900 Campus Commons Drive, Suite 200 Reston, VA 20191 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Tel: (703) 674-2500 ext. 129 D. Documenting Your Fellowship Year Capture your research activities throughout the year. The Foundation likes to see examples of your work in action and occasionally these photos are incorporated into a slide show for the end of year meeting and/or the CRF promotional brochure. As to the types of pictures sought: the Foundation would like you to focus your photos on your research activities such as the environment where you worked, clinical activities/process, and the mentors or staff you worked with. The Foundation will provide a document-sharing site to upload your photos. With your photos, please provide a word document with a brief sentence per photo identifying the people and places shown. If you submit photographs of patients, we ask that you be sensitive to patient For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 6 confidentiality and that you follow your home institution's policies on patient photographs and release forms. If permission is not obtained, you should blackout or blur patients' faces. V. Assessing the CRF Program and Maintaining Contact A. Long Term Metrics The Foundation is interested in determining if CRF alumni pursue careers in clinical research or in other aspects of biomedical research. To accomplish this, the Foundation will send all alumni periodic surveys. These surveys will request updated contact information and career path details. Alumni should respond to surveys generated by the Foundation or their CRF school. B. Maintaining Contact It is recommended that upon completion of the fellowship year, fellows provide their Program Administrator with updated contact information. If possible, fellows should provide permanent e-mail and mailing addresses (rather than school- or employment-based addresses). For use by the CRF 2010-2011 Class 7

When you going to have this one taken off Heather??? Topix isn't quite as stupid as you might think you see you keep starting derogatory threads then cry like a little biotch dog to get them erased. You're a short fat POS that likes to start trouble but just ain't woman enough to stand it when you get that fatass handed to you. You're mom is a big fat cowcunted POS too. You learned it from dear old mommy but she's just too fat and ugly to find a willing soul anymore. Weebles wobble and wish they could still find somebody to go down on!!! Your dad's a chickenshit loser drunk that's so effin' stupid he can't count his nutz and come up with the same answer twice. You might want to look up libel because when you start in on a business without any credible proof that's what you're doing. But not to worry we all know that your clan of misfits don't have a pot to pizz in so a lawsuit would be futile all anyone could win is a place in line with the other creditors your family owes. Hurry, hurry and get this took down you short fat loser, before everybody in the county finds out more about what a POS you and your dirt poor family really are. |

There you go that last post can be considered as proof of libel as the person starting this thread making these unfounded claims has caused this company to lose business and has resulted in damage to this company's reputation. You might want to post a retraction and if you don't I hope this company seeks damages from the person that started this thread in an attempt to cause damage to his business. This is a very serious game that you are playing when you attempt to ruin a company's reputation for sheer amusement.

I don't blame anyone except that stupid fat tramp Heather that started this thread. What's the matter are you scared that she's going to lose her $500 car and some of her fake jewlery in a lawsuit? The person whom she started this thread about has had enough of her petty drama queen BS. How many threads have you all started about people just this week? The forum boards here and in Granite Falls are full of them and you expect people just to take your BS and say nothing back. Yeah right don't hold your breath!!!

______ The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. ________________________________________ US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
If you compare identical bullet weights in the 40 and 45 you will find that the ballistics are nearly identical. The 40 gives you more rounds and the 45 has heavier bullets available.
Patron Member NRA "I would not be an old man if I had not been an armed young man." JTJ I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
If he was doing more than trying to show off he could have taken two hogs with one shot (308 180 gr sp), but no, he had to add drama to the hog problem!!! A 22 LR solid in the ear would have had the same effect as the 40 to the ear. The only good hog is a dead hog!
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society! Self Defense is an absolute and natural right! Keep your head down and your powder dry!
When you look at 9mm in light of 45acp or 40S&W, there definitely seems to be a difference that is significant. Though, perhaps you've heard this story: Person #1 interested in a CCW carrier asks this question: "Why are you carrying a gun? Are you expecting trouble?" Person #2 answers: "If I were expecting trouble, I'd have brought a rifle." Compare the whole lot of pistol calibers (that can actually be carried) from 10mm down and the numbers don't mean a hill of beans as compared to 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, or 7.62x51mm. There is such drivel written about handgun calibers and power. Pick a handgun you like to look at--and can shoot when the balloon goes up--and pray that the good guy comes out on top.
In essence, I agree with the OP. And, let's face it, we're all after a rifle for a go to, in the event of real trouble. What I have to wonder about is how many folks who argue so hard about calibers actually can shoot well enough, and take care of their firearms well enough, for something as minor as caliber differences to truly matter?
Just a personal observation here, not statistics. IME in LE the younger officers tended to favor the .45. (when allowed) The older, more experienced officers tended to favor 9mm or .40 "Back in the day" when cowboy guns were required, most "uniforms" carried .357 with 4 or 6 inch barrel. I carried a 6 inch. In the detective bureau, the younger detectives usually carried medium frame .357 magnums. Older detectives usually carried small frame .,38 special. This doesn't prove anything, just a personal observation.

School celebrates world cultures with International Day
Appleton — Dozens of countries from Brazil to Thailand were represented at Appleton Village School's International Day Monday, May 19.
As part of their social studies work, students had done a variety of projects on foreign countries, which were available for visitors to view. In addition, there were talks by community members who were born abroad, and by foreign exchange students at Camden Hills Regional High School. The highlight of the event were food samples from different lands for everyone to try.
Linda Blackler, first- and second-grade literacy teacher, said each year she does a unit on the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. Her students had decorated their classroom with cutouts of monkeys and branches hanging from netting on the ceiling that looked like a forest canopy. They also made a colorful construction paper mural on the bulletin board outside the room with flowers and animals of the rainforest. Visitors could read poems about Amazonian animals and learn Brazilian dances, including one that looked a little like square-dancing, called the quadrilha.
In another room, eighth-grade students had made displays about different countries with information on climate, geography, culture, food, fun facts and basic phrases, which they decorated with pictures. Nele, a German exchange student at Camden Hills, talked about what school was like in her home country, as well as pets and her music lessons on saxophone and piano. She said that, although she is a senior here, she will not receive any credits for her studies in the United States, and will be in her junior year of high school at home next year.
Appleton parent Patrick Costigan, a native of Ireland, spoke about his home country, telling students its most popular sport is rugby and passing around some Irish paper money and coins. Ireland and Maine are about the same size, geographically, he said. He was joined by two Chinese exchange students from Camden Hills. Other parents, community members and exchange students spoke about their native countries, as well.
There was also a room where children and visitors could play games based on Maine culture. There was a version of checkers where one player would ask the other a question about Maine's Native Americans, and the other had to answer it correctly in order to make a move. There were also games about maple sugaring and Maine's role in the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.

Napa Valley HotelsNapa Valley is a rolling, sun-soaked stretch of countryside in Napa County California, which lies slightly inland in the north of the state. The region is renowned for its rich wineries and sweeping vineyards, and its paradisal Mediterranean climate, which provides an abundance of balmy weather and clear blue skies. But Napa Valley isn't just about the wineries - nature enthusiasts will love exploring its wild landscape, and history-buffs will find plenty of fascinating heritage. Things to seeBefore you start on a tasting tour of the top wineries, why not take the morning to immerse yourself in the rich and bountiful natural scenery that California's Napa Valley has to offer. For an easy-going family hike through woody hills, past shimmering lakes, and across golden fields stippled with wild deer, head to the Skyline Wilderness Park. For something more adventurous - with a touch of Napa's heritage - check out the Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park, and see the old-world wooden water mill, built in 1846. After an energetic morning in Napa's great outdoors, take to the vineyards. Art-lovers should check out the Hess Collection Winery and Art Museum, where the stately grounds lead to a century-old building that houses both an inspiring fine art collection, and a rustic tasting room. After, visit the Castello di Amorosa, a winery set within the grounds of a vast Tuscan-style castle. Hotels in
Napa ValleyYou don't need to spend big to tour the region's wineries, and the cheap hotels in Napa Valley are ideal for those on an inexpensive Californian getaway. These 2-star inns and lodges provide cozy air-conditioned rooms and free guest-parking - a big plus if you're driving around the valley every day. For something slightly more upscale, check out the 3-star hotels in Napa Valley, where you'll enjoy glimmering outdoor pools and free in-room WiFi. Those looking for a slice of luxury, however, should stay in one of the 4-star hotels, which offer heavenly spa treatments and soft green golf courses. Where to stayThere are a number of small and homely cities and towns speckled throughout the Napa Valley, and each have their different styles. Napa, the valley's principal city, is perfect for those who like urban excitement, offering stylish shopping and a lively but laid-back nightlife scene of bars and restaurants. Here, you can also take the Napa Valley Wine Train, an upscale, old-fashioned way to see the area. Calistoga - a very small town in the valley's northern end - provides a paradisal setting of natural hot-springs and outdoor mud baths, while the quaint town of Yountville is home to some of the region's best restaurants.How to get to Napa Valley

when you "move to SD card" on cyanogenmod/touchpad android it just moves them to your webOS "/media/internal" which it thinks is an SD card, its a good tradeoff as both share space rather than partition themselves seperatly so tis more space efficient, tho it does mean both dont know or care of the way each other work.
This means webOS will unfortunatly start examining any android folders moved to the "SDcard" and will try to media index images/sound files and such, and can often make a total mess of your media apps on the webOS side. Android may do the same with regards to media on the webOS side as well, android should ideally be seperated at least into a root folder thats hidden by default to webOS as webOS doesnt media index hidden folders. hmm i wonder if the sdcard location can idd be easily altered to a hidden from webOS "/media/internal/.androidsdcard" instead of "/media/internal"

It shouldn't be too big an upheaval to change the /mnt/sdcard symlink to point to /storage/sdcard0/.androidsdcard - though, to be fair I haven't tested this ^_^ |

The Phantom is a 1996 American superhero film directed by Simon Wincer. Based on Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom, the film stars Billy Zane as a seemingly immortal crimefighter and his battle against all forms of evil. The Phantom also stars Treat Williams, Kristy Swanson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, James Remar and Patrick McGoohan. The film was loosely inspired by three of The Phantom stories, "The Singh Brotherhood", "The Sky Band",[1] and "The Belt"; but adds supernatural elements and several new characters.
Sergio Leone expressed interest in developing The Phantom and intended to follow it with Mandrake the Magician. However, the project was never realized. In the early 1990s, executive producer Joe Dante signed on as director. However, when the film was pushed back, Wincer was approached as director. Principal photography began in October 1995 and concluded on February 13, 1996. The film was shot in California, Thailand and Australia.
The Phantom was released on June 7, 1996, and received mixed reviews from film critics. Despite financial disappointment in its theatrical release, the film has since enjoyed success on VHS and DVD.[2]
Four hundred years ago, a young boy witnesses his father's death at the hands of Kabai Sengh during an attack on their ship by the ruthless Sengh Brotherhood. He is washed ashore on an island called Bengalla and found on the beach by tribesman who take him to their village. There he is given the Skull Ring and swears to devote his life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice. In adulthood, he adopts the identity of "The Phantom", a masked avenger. The role of The Phantom is passed on from father to son through centuries, leading people to believe in a single, immortal figure and accordingly to nickname him "The Ghost Who Walks" and "The Man Who Never Dies."
In 1938, Kit Walker (Billy Zane), the 21st Phantom, finds a mercenary named Quill (James Remar) searching for one of the 'Skulls of Touganda', possession of which grants the owner a tremendous destructive power. The Phantom saves the native boy they had kidnapped as their guide and captures Quill's men, turning them over to the Jungle Patrol. However, Quill -- revealed as a member of the Sengh Brotherhood, and the man who killed Kit's father (Patrick McGoohan) -- flees with the Skull and returns to the United States.
In New York City, Kit's ex-girlfriend from college, Diana Palmer (Kristy Swanson), is sent by her Uncle Dave (Bill Smitrovich), the owner of "The Tribune" newspaper, to Bengalla in order to investigate claims that power-hungry New York businessman, Xander Drax (Treat Williams), Quill's boss, is resorting to piracy. En route, the Pan Am Clipper Diana travels on is forced down over the ocean by female "air-pirates" employed by Drax and led by the femme fatale, Sala (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Diana is kidnapped and taken to the pirates base in Bengalla. Having been told of Diana's kidnapping by the Jungle Patrol's captain Phillip Horton (Robert Coleby), The Phantom rescues Diana and escapes from Quill and his men to his headquarters, the Skull Cave (with the help of his white horse Hero, his pet wolf Devil, and his jungle friends the Rope People). There, Diana meets with Horton where she is informed by The Phantom and Horton that she is mixed up with the Sengh Brotherhood. The Phantom tells Horton to use the Jungle Patrol to take care of Diana and return her to New York while he goes after the Brotherhood. Diana starts to argue about being sent home, but The Phantom disappears deep into the Skull Cave, with Horton telling Diana that "No one argues with The Phantom and wins."
Back in New York, Kit meets with Dave Palmer and reunites with Diana. With the help of information given to them by Diana's would-be suitor Jimmy Wells, they locate the second Skull in the Museum of Natural History. They're captured by Drax and his men, who steal the second Skull and unite it with the first, revealing the location of the third Skull on an uncharted island known as the Devil's Vortex on the Yellow Sea. Kit manages to escape from Quill and his henchmen and, as The Phantom, evades the police (Drax was allies in crime with New York's corrupt police commissioner, as well as the mayor). Meanwhile, Sala flies Drax, Quill, and Diana (Drax's "Phantom insurance" after it's revealed she is his girlfriend) to the Devil's Vortex, not knowing that The Phantom has managed to hitch a ride on one of the plane's landing pontoons.
On the island, Drax meets with the pirate Kabai Sengh (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), a descendant of the Brotherhood's original leader, who possesses the third Skull. Sengh warns Drax of the existence of a "Fourth Skull," which controls the power of the others. The Phantom appears and battles both men, with Kabai Sengh killed by his own pool of sharks, as Diana and Sala cooperate to defeat the other villains. Drax unites the three Skulls and turns them against the Phantom (inadvertently killing Quill in the process), only to be destroyed when the Phantom uses the Fourth Skull -- his own ring -- to overcome the others. As the island is destroyed, The Phantom narrowly escapes with Diana and Sala.
In parting from Diana thereafter, The Phantom reveals his secret and his double-identity to her, telling her that he's only allowed to reveal all of his secrets to one person, the woman he intends to marry, but she leaves again for New York. In the film's closing narration, Kit's father laments his son's failure to pursue Diana, but reassures the audience that she will return to The Phantom's jungle, and to Kit, one day.
Rumours of a Phantom movie adaptation had first started to circulate when director Sergio Leone expressed his interest in the property in an interview. Leone had started to write a script and scout locations for his proposed film version of the Phantom, which he planned to be followed by an adaptation of Lee Falk's other comic-strip hero, Mandrake the Magician.[3] The second project was never finalized.
Joe Dante was originally attached to direct a Phantom film for Paramount Pictures in the early 1990s, and he developed a draft of the script together with Jeffrey Boam. Dante and Boam's script was originally tongue-in-cheek in tone and the climax included a winged demon. However, when Paramount pushed the film back a year, Dante left for other commitments, and eventually ended up being credited as one of the executive producers.[4] Joel Schumacher was considered to direct the film, but the job was given to Simon Wincer, who had been a fan of the character since childhood.[citation needed]
Wincer then cast Billy Zane, who had won praise for his work as a psychopath in Dead Calm, as the Phantom. Zane, a fan of the comic strip after being introduced to it on the set of Dead Calm,[5] won the part after competition from Bruce Campbell and New Zealand actor Kevin Smith. After his casting, he spent over a year and a half to get the right muscular look of the Phantom. He also studied the character's body language in comic strip artwork, carefully imitating it in his performance.[6] A Batman-like costume displaying false muscles was made for him to wear; but by the time filming started, Zane did not need it.
The special Phantom costume effects were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Filming began on October 3, 1995, in Los Angeles at Greystone Park. For the exterior of the Palmers' English-style manor the mansion of Playboy magazine's Hugh Hefner, a longtime fan of the Phantom, was used.
The Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park doubled for New York City's Central Park Zoo, the setting for a chase sequence. Shooting continued on Hollywood studio backlot streets that recreated the 1938 version of New York. Over fifty vintage cars were used on the streets, and four hundred extras costumed in authentic period clothing were employed.
In October, the production traveled to Thailand for seven weeks of filming there, with the country doubling as the Phantom's fictional home country Bengalla. Action scenes such as the Phantom saving a boy from a collapsing rope bridge were filmed here. Production designer Paul Peters changed a deserted warehouse in the town Krabi into a large sound stage, where the Phantom's Skull Cave abode was erected, including his Chronicle Chamber, vault, and radio and treasure rooms.
In December the crew traveled to Brisbane, Australia, where production was completed at Warner Roadshow Movie World Studios. The Phantom filmed on three stages, including Stage 5 which had a removable floor and deep-water tanks. Here the Singh Pirates Cave was constructed, constituting the largest interior setting ever built in the country. The New York offices of Xander Drax were constructed on Stage 6. Filming in Queensland also took the production to the Brisbane City Hall, where the interior lobby was redecorated to resemble a New York museum, where Kit Walker finds one of the three Skulls of Touganda. Manor Apartment Hotel in Brisbane was used as a stand in for a New York skyscraper.
On the final day of shooting, the production relocated to Los Angeles, to complete a scene that would ultimately end up deleted from the final cut of the movie, where the Phantom wrestles a lion. The movie wrapped on February 13, 1996.[7]
The film features several elements from Lee Falk's first two Phantom stories, The Singh Brotherhood and The Sky Band. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa plays Kabai Sengh, leader of the Sengh Brotherhood (the name of the brotherhood was changed to 'Sengh' in the movie, to avoid offending people named Singh), and Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Sala, leader of the Sky Band, a group of female air-pirates, both characters having appeared in the aforementioned stories. Jon Tenney has a small part as Jimmy Wells, a wealthy playboy who appeared in a similar role in The Singh Brotherhood.
The more realistic plots of Falk's original stories were dropped in favour of an adventure tale that featured the supernatural Skulls of Touganda. Falk's story The Belt, where the Phantom fights the killer of his father, was also a major influence on the story; but the name of the murderer is changed from Rama to Quill, and the 20th Phantom, played by Patrick McGoohan, is portrayed as a much older man in the film than in the comic strip.
Many scenes developing the romance between the Phantom/Kit Walker and Diana Palmer were cut in order to make the film more fast-paced. An action scene featuring the Phantom wrestling a lion and one with him fighting a snake were also cut. A scene with the Phantom and his horse Hero rearing in the sunset was cut out of the film, but shown at the end of the 1996 A&E documentary The Phantom: Comic Strip Crusader.
To coincide with the premiere of the film, the Phantom was used as a part of the Got Milk? campaign, based on the character's drinking milk in the comic.[8] Two different Phantom action figures were made by Street Player,[9] and promotional Phantom-rings were also offered. Different sets of Phantom collecting cards were also available in countries such as the US, Australia, Finland and Sweden. Movie theater popcorn tubs and paper soda cups featuring the film's poster were also used to help promote the film.
The film suffered the same fate as two other period-piece comic book/pulp adaptations of the 1990s, The Shadow (1994) and The Rocketeer (1991), and did not fare very well at the box office in the U.S., debuting at number six the weekend of June 7, 1996.[10] However, it has since sold well on VHS and DVD.[11]
Reviews were mixed[12] with Roger Ebert calling it one of the best looking movies he had ever seen, giving the film three and a half stars out of four.[13] Kim Newman wrote for Empire Magazine that the movie "has a pleasant feel - few superheroes have been as sunny and optimistic - as Zane breezes through chases and fights, stops for the odd quip - and pals around with a heroic horse, a dashing dog and the helpful ghost of his father", and gave the movie three out of five stars.[14] The film currently holds a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 42 reviews.[15]
Billy Zane's performance was praised by filmmaker James Cameron, who chose him to be in Titanic because of it.[citation needed]
Billy Zane originally signed up to do two sequels, but this did not happen because of the disappointing sale of tickets for The Phantom in theaters.[16]
On September 6, 2008, the syndicated gossip columnist Liz Smith wrote that Paramount Pictures were putting a sequel to The Phantom into development, with Billy Zane, Kristy Swanson, and Catherine Zeta-Jones returning as actors, because of the good VHS tape and DVD sales of the first movie.[17] Her statements were proven to be wrong on December 16, 2008, when it was announced that a reboot of the Phantom series is in the works, called The Phantom: Legacy.[18] The new movie is produced by Bruce Sherlock, who was also the executive-producer of The Phantom. The screenwriter is Tim Boyle.
A novelization of The Phantom was written by Rob MacGregor, the author of a series of novels that feature "Indiana Jones". This novel included a more detailed look at the backstory of many characters, and the origin of "The Phantom". Several scenes that were omitted from the final cut of the movie are also included.
The Phantom was released on Blu-ray on February 9, 2010, by Lionsgate.[19]

One day, he runs into an old friend (Murray Hamilton) whom he thought had died. The friend leads him to The Company, a secretive operation run by The Old Man (Will Geer). The Company is a high-tech service which, for a price, provides older men with plastic surgery, a beefed-up body, and a fresh start in life. To cover the "disappearance," a middle-aged male cadaver is "killed" in a hotel fire. Hamilton submits to the operation that will turn him into a "Second," and when the bandages are removed, he's shed twenty years, renamed Tony Wilson and portrayed by Rock Hudson. The Company creates a new identity for Hamilton, relocating him in a hedonistic California beach community with an identity as a painter. Celebrating during a local wine festival, Hamilton has his revelry cut short when he learns that all his new young friends are Seconds like himself and suddenly feels trapped in these surroundings. Unfortunately, finding a way out isn't nearly as easy as it was to find a way in.
Consensus: Featuring dazzling, disorienting cinematography from the great James Wong Howe and a strong lead performance by Rock Hudson, Seconds is a compellingly paranoid take on the legend of Faust.
US suburbia boredom is treated in an original manner in this cross between a sci-fi opus, a thriller, a suspense pic and a parable on certain aspects of American middle-class life.
Full review…The film's greatest strength is its dynamic black and white cinematography courtesy of James Wong Howe, who instills the film with an intense, paranoid feel.
Full review…A bleak and noirish Frankenstein thriller whose DNA is threaded with zeitgeist-heavy satire.
Full review…The screenplay ollapses into musty moralizing in the second half, and director John Frankenheimer throws in the towel.
Full review…[C]hange comes only before the cradle and after the grave ... consumerism processes identity until it's oversold.
Full review…The summit of Frankenheimer's Sixties unease
Full review…Little wonder it flopped at the time, only to be cherished by a later generation.
Full review…A fun house mirror world that never looks quite right because it never is, and never was.
Full review…Frankenheimer fashioned a trippy motion picture that was clearly ahead of its time, even if just by a few years (the 1970s would be crammed with post-Watergate paranoia pictures such as The Parallax View and Three Days of the Condor).
Full review…

- Comments and insights on the name Morgan: | Edit
Morgan is an extremely adorable, handsome, traditionally male name that is most suitable for boys -- because it is a male name. It always has been. Never suitable for women. Very masculine.
Girls who are reading this, ignore the boys who commented below, I might not like my name very much, but it CAN be a female name, although I do not suggest it because there are no nicknames. Maybe Carolyn, or something that can be shortened. -Morgan(I'm a GIRL)
- Personal experiences with the name Morgan: | Edit
My name is Morgan(born in 1985), and didn't know many other female "Morgan's" growing up. I wish my name was a bit more feminine(my middle name is "Dayle"), but its not too bad. No one ever has a hard time pronouncing it, although I have been called "Meagan." My sister's names are Ashton(1987) and Jordyn(1992), my parent's liked the whole "boy name for girls."
This is a male name, definitely. Not feminine at all. For the female alternate form of the male name "Morgan", see "Morgana". The name is a feminine form of a classically handsome male name. It is pronounced More-gaw-nuh, and it IS feminine, unlike Morgan. So that's the way to go. People, stop naming girls "Morgan". Instead, give them the FEMALE version of the name, "Morgana". :)
I have the name Morgan and actually I am very fond of the name. (I am a girl) I know 4 other Morgans in my school and only one of them is a boy. To me, Morgan is a very feminine name. Who cares if the name was originally a guy's name? It's totally ok to be a girl who is masculine. My friends call me M, Mo, and Morg, and Morgz. And I'm very fond of those nicknames. So Morgan is a PERFECTLY FINE name for a girl to be named "Morgan."

New Survey: Majority Of Employees Dissatisfied
By Susan Adams
Right Management, a subsidiary of the giant staffing firm ManpowerGroup, just released a new snapshot survey that underlines the dissatisfaction among American workers. At a time of high unemployment, lackluster job growth and major uncertainty in world financial markets, many employees feel stuck in their jobs, unable to consider a career move even if they're unhappy.
Right Management ran the online survey between April 16 and May 15, and culled responses from 411 workers in the U.S. and Canada. Only 19% said they were satisfied with their jobs. Another 16% said they were "somewhat satisfied." But the rest, nearly two-thirds of respondents, said they were not happy at work. Twenty-one percent said they were "somewhat satisfied" and 44% said they were "unsatisfied."
Staffing firms and consultants release employee engagement and loyalty surveys periodically. The news on this front has not been good for some time. In November, I reported on a more in-depth study, a Mercer survey of 30,000 workers worldwide, which showed that between 28% and 56% of employees in 17 spots around the globe wanted to leave their jobs. In the U.S., 32% said they wanted to find new work. That's about half of the 65% of respondents to the Right Management survey, who said they were either somewhat or totally unsatisfied.
What's the message to employers? A lot of unhappy workers are staying put. But if employers want an upbeat, engaged workforce, they need to find ways to help employees feel challenged and rewarded by work. A couple of suggestions: offer more training and education. Also it pays to try to find a path up the ladder for current employees, and to help them know it's available to them.

Guess what, you will continue to see Truthseeker complain about Obama until he is out of office. Purdue already proved my previous points of her corruptness and ineffiency and why she is gone, never to be heard of again. Even her own party disowned her. So your liberal vote can continue to adore Obama, your savior, but me and more others like me will come out to vote liberals out forever. By the way, we do not need transportation because we have worked, paid our own way and do for ourselves. Democrats will always be disenfranchised because their policies are for the losers, poor, uneducated, un motivated leeches of society. »
