Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre: The Rite Of Spring And Petrushka
Originally created to mark the 100th anniversary of Igor Stravinsky's masterpiece, The Rite of Spring, Sadler's Wells and Fabulous Beast present two works by awardwinning choreographer and Sadler's Wells' newest Associate Artist Michael Keegan-Dolan, honouring two of Stravinsky's most famous ballets. Keegan-Dolan re imagines his Olivier-nominated version of The Rite of Spring, which premiered at the London Coliseum in 2009 to great critical acclaim. Named as one of few accounts that has truly realised Stravinsky's vision alongside those of Kenneth MacMillan, Pina Bausch and Leonid Massine, it has been described as "inspired" (The Times) and is accompanied by Stravinsky's legendary score.
The evening is completed by Keegan-Dolan's new interpretation of Petrushka, composed by Stravinsky in 1911. Performed by the exquisite dancers of Fabulous Beast, both pieces together create an intoxicating double bill of dance theatre that honours the searing modernity of Stravinsky's music.

(Sally Field in Valentino, Kerry Washington in Mui Mui, Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta, Jenna Dewan in Gucci, Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan, Charlize Theron in Dior, Georgina Chapman in Marchesa, and Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji)Although Jennifer was hands down my favorite of the night many were looking red carpet chic. I was blown away by Sally Field in a dramatic ruffled Valentino. Charlize Theron was stunning in a white beaded peplum gown by Dior Haute Couture. And last but not least I loved Octavia Spencer in her go-to designer Tadashi Shoji. Her dress was so ethereal and luminescent, and that buttery tulle against her skin was beautiful. I just loved it.
Who was your best dressed? If you somehow missed the Oscars (which I couldn't imagine!) you can check out WWD for more red carpet looks from Hollywood's most fashionable night.

Last (?) Offseason Odds and Ends
1. The beard is back.
2. Locke confirms–for the first time–what we all already knew: that Boozer did indeed demand a trade last summer, and "the Jazz told him to shut up." (40:15 mark). You go, KOC.
3. A tidbit from Locke that I didn't already know:
"To some extent training camp already started for these guys [with many of the players returning to SLC earlier in the month and playing pickup games and working out together]. The coaches and team are not allowed to be involved until training camp starts." (emphasis mine)
4. Apparently dissatisfied with what Raja (34) and Elson (34) did to raise the average age of the team, the Jazz are signing Earl Watson (31). [When the season ended four months ago, we had a total of ONE player over the age of 30–Memo.]
I don't know much about Watson, except he can't shoot. However, Ross Siler says that "this season's Earl Watson is going to be better than this season's Eric Maynor." That's a big statement, since Maynor was pretty darn great compared to the carnival of last-leg point guards that have paraded through SLC in recent years.
Locke also had this to say:
Watson plays with an edge and toughness that Jerry Sloan is going to like. He is a defender. He battles for every possession. He understands the game and plays hard every night.
In 2006 he said, "The money we make is stupid," he said. "If you play for the money, you lose yourself and have no identity. I play for the love of the game, and I play to win."
Watson brings the number of guaranteed contracts to 11, which is two short of the minimum 13. Five of the eleven are new faces. Yikes. As BBJ points out, turning over half the roster of the team just isn't something that happens in Utah.
I'm assuming (always a dangerous endeavor, I know) that with Watson's signing, Yatta is gone. That leaves OJ, Jeremy Evans, Fes, and/or someone(s) else entirely unexpected to fill out the remaining roster spots. I have to say, I'm really, really curious about Evans.
5. Big Al quote while donating school supplies to a SLC community:
"I'd like to play 10 more years. I hope this is my final team."


text: The most common question our team is asked is how to become a Marine Mammal Specialist. For me, being a Marine Mammal Specialist was a childhood dream, so I geared my education and experience toward achieving this goal at a young age. Growing up in Chicago, I attended many lectures and visited both the Shedd Aquarium and Brookfield Zoo as often as I could. After high school, I participated in a volunteer program for a summer at a research facility in Hawaii, which only solidified my dreams and allowed me to understand further the path I needed to take. The most important advice I can give someone who has the desire to join our incredible team is to understand that this is not a 9-to-5 job; it is a lifestyle. I can turn my computer off when I leave for the day, but of course cannot do the same with the animals. Any applicant must be willing to work weekends, various shifts and even holidays as animals do not take holidays and snow days off! We spend a lot of time with our dolphins every day of the week, bonding with them, training new behaviors and doing presentations for our visitors! First, the basics: It is recommended to have a degree in psychology (we work with the animals using operant conditioning), biology (so there is a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology) or zoology (the study of animals). Also, participating in internships provides hands-on experience (like the ones we have here at the National Aquarium) and are great ways to get a glimpse into the field, make connections and gain practical skills. One must also be a comfortable swimmer and typically be scuba certified. With the basics covered, moving into the field can be a challenge. The field is very competitive, and there are not as many opportunities due to the number of facilities in the country. Being willing to move around and to keep options open will definitely help to broaden the field opportunities. Each facility is structured differently. In general, however, the amount of experience will directly correlate to the level of responsibility and opportunity (as with any career choice). Here at the National Aquarium, we have aides, assistant trainers, trainers, and senior trainers. Moving from one level to the next takes dedication, experience and time. A typical day begins at 6:30 am, when we sort through hundreds of pounds a fish in order to make up the animals diets. Throughout the day, we participate in public presentations, various training and play sessions as well as research and enrichment studies. Sounds glamorous and fun, right? Unfortunately, that is just half the day. The rest is filled with cleaning, making and washing fish buckets, diving to clean the habitat and a lot of record-keeping. Being in the animal field is incredible and extremely rewarding, but it is not without sacrifices, hard work and dedication. Got a question about my job? Ask me in the comments section!

Missoni Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
by Melissa Tunstall
The show must go, even under sad and tragic circumstances. Missoni knows this to its core and put on a show despite Vittorio Missoni's disappearance. And the fall winter 2013 ready-to-wear collection seemed to mirror this resilience.
Models started the show in pajama-like garments—some of the most high-end pajamas possible. Wet hair and light make-up helped transform this look as more and more models paraded down the runway almost acting out the getting ready process. Long kimono style robes and silky pants made the act of getting ready luxurious and almost impossible.
Who would ever want to take off those clothes? Well, a girl wearing gorgeous Mod inspired dresses with to-dream-for panel tights. Toning down the normally bright color scheme for the cooler months (don't worry, it wasn't all grey, there were the to-die-for chartreuse pajama pants and blues that popped!), greys, blacks, and more neutral tones created the base of the collection. And that iconic Missoni print? Not to be found! Instead, opting for subtler graphic patterns and more of the peek-a-boo trend that's been heavy on the runway circuit.
We just have one question for Missoni-where's our invite to your slumber party? Don't worry, we RSVP in advance.

In the wake of the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, semi-automatic weapon sales have skyrocketed, specifically for AR-15 rifles, the same gun that shooter Adam Lanza used to murder 20 children and six adults on that horrifying day. Gun shops can't seem to stay stocked, and there are even reports of long wait lists for the military rifles. In an even sicker twist, a lot of those weapons seem to have been given as Christmas gifts, and the recipients have been posting photos of themselves, posing with their new assault weapons. And a lot of them are women. Women. Holding assault rifles. WTF?
Why anyone needs weapons like this who isn't, you know, stationed in Afghanistan, is beyond me. But also, who gives someone else an assault weapon for Christmas???
This type of gun was not just used in the Sandy Hook shootings. It was also the weapon of choice of accused Aurora, Colorado movie-theater shooter James Holmes last summer and Jacob Roberts, the shooter identified in the Portland Mall shooting earlier this month. One was also used by William Spengler just a few nights ago on Christmas Eve. Spengler murdered two firefighters and shot two more as they tried to fight a fire he started.
And now ammunition is apparently flying off the shelves as well. "This week, the world's largest firearms dealer said it has sold 3.5 years of magazines for the AR-15 -- in just three days and were struggling to meet the demand," according to The Daily Mail.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Who give guns as Christmas presents? I mean really. I'm asking in all seriousness. Because not only is it in incredibly poor taste to post a photo of yourself holding the same weapon that's been responsible for four of the most heinous crimes in recent memory ... it's just kind of sick. Merry Christmas! Here's my assault rifle!
What does it say about us as a country that people give each other weapons for Christmas? Nothing good, I think. Nothing good. And that people are so boastful and enthusiastic about receiving killing machines on a holiday that's supposed to be about love and family and joy. Not the kind of joy in the face of this woman, baring her midriff and aiming her big gun. I don't get it.
Do you think an assault weapon is an appropriate Christmas gift?

Still Too Pricey
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Facebook's 40% plunge from its initial-public-offering price of $38 in May has millions of investors asking a single question: Is the stock a buy? The short answer is "No." After a recent rally, to $23 from a low of $17.55, the stock trades at high multiples of both sales and earnings, even as uncertainty about the outlook for its business grows.
The rapid shift in Facebook's user base to mobile platforms—more than half of users now access the site on smartphones and tablets—appears to have caught the company by surprise. Facebook (ticker: FB) founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg must find a way to monetize its mobile traffic because usage on traditional PCs, where the company makes virtually all of its money, is declining in its large and established markets. That trend isn't likely to change.
Success in mobile is no sure thing. The small screens on these devices don't give Facebook much room to configure ads without alienating users. And the way that mobile users access Facebook, through applications on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices, may diminish the time users spend at the Website while handing greater power to Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), which dominate the apps business.
AT ITS CURRENT QUOTE, Facebook trades at 47 times projected 2012 profit of 48 cents a share and 36 times estimated 2013 earnings of 63 cents. Compare that with Google and Apple, two proven technology growth stories, which both trade for about 16 times estimated 2012 earnings. Facebook is valued at $61 billion, or $53 billion excluding its estimated $8 billion in cash. That's more than 10 times estimated 2012 revenue of $5 billion. Google trades for half that valuation.
What are the shares worth? Perhaps only $15. That would be roughly 24 times projected 2013 profit and six times estimated 2013 revenue of $6 billion, still no bargain price. Wall Street's consensus estimate for 2013 shows earnings rising 31%, to 63 cents a share.
That pro forma number is generous because it ignores Facebook's very significant stock-based compensation. The company has been issuing gobs of restricted stock to engineers and other key employees in the hot Silicon Valley job market to prevent them from being lured away to the next hot tech start-up—the next Facebook.
Facebook issued $1.4 billion of restricted stock in 2011, or nearly $500,000 per employee. So far this year, the company has doled out $1 billion of restricted stock. Facebook's reported stock-based compensation expense—based on the amortization of several years of stock grants—could total 20 cents a share next year. Subtract that from the 2013 consensus earnings number, and the shares trade at 50 times earnings. At $15 they would still be valued at a rich 35 times earnings.
TECHNOLOGY IS THE ONLY MAJOR industry where companies routinely encourage analysts to ignore stock-based compensation expense—and most comply. This dubious approach to calculating profits is based on the idea that only cash expenses matter. That's a fiction, pure and simple. As Warren Buffett has said, companies could take this to the extreme, pay all their expenses in stock and claim to have no costs.
Facebook's restricted-stock grant was so large last year that it may have exceeded its cash compensation costs. CEO Mark Zuckerberg seems to have a cavalier attitude, saying in a recent interview that "the way we do compensation is that we translate the amount of cash that we want to give you into shares" and give more stock to employees as the price declines.
Ours is admittedly an outlying view on the stock. Only one of the almost 40 Wall Street analysts covering Facebook, Dan Salmon of BMO Capital Markets, has a price target of $15. Most are in the high $20s or $30s. Many of these firms initiated coverage of Facebook with price targets in the $40s.
Barron's, it bears noting, never bought into the pre-IPO hype. We published two skeptical stories on Facebook, first when it filed for its IPO in February, and again right before it went public in May ("Mad About Facebook!" May 14). Our take was that the stock looked very richly priced at $35 to $40 and that investors should consider Apple and Google instead. (Both are up about 25% since then.) "Connect with your friends on Facebook. Stay away from the stock," is how we concluded the article.
THE BULL CASE FOR Facebook is that Zuckerberg & Co. will find creative ways to generate huge revenue from its 955 million monthly active users, be it from mobile and desktop advertising, e-commerce, search, online-game payments, or sources that have yet to emerge. Pay no attention to depressed current earnings, the argument goes. Facebook is just getting started.
Facebook now gets $5 annually in revenue per user. That could easily double or triple in the next five years, bulls say. In a recent interview at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, Zuckerberg said, "It's easy to underestimate how fundamentally good mobile is for us." His argument, coming after Facebook's brand-damaging IPO fiasco and a halving of the stock, was something only a mother, or a true believer, could love. This year Facebook is expected to get 5% of its revenue from mobile. "Literally six months ago we didn't run a single ad on mobile," Zuckerberg said. Facebook executives declined to speak with Barron's.
"Anyone who owns Facebook should be exceptionally troubled that they're still trying to 'figure out' mobile monetization and had to lay out $1 billion for Instagram because some start-up had figured out mobile pictures better than Facebook," says one institutional investor, referring to Facebook's April deal for two-year-old Instagram, whose smartphone app for mobile photo-sharing became a big hit (and at the time had yet to generate a nickel in revenue).
Facebook's initial profit report in July didn't cheer Wall Street, as second-quarter revenue rose 32% to $1.18 billion while expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were up 60%. The company projected similarly large expense gains in the final two quarters of the year, as it ramps up infrastructure and other undisclosed spending.
That surprised many investors who figured Facebook's business model was so powerful that it would generate operating leverage, meaning revenue growth would outpace expense growth. The Street now projects that Facebook may not hit $1 a share in profit until 2015. And that doesn't reflect heavy stock-based compensation. And who knows if that $1 a share estimate, which may require a doubling of revenue, is even achievable.
"I don't understand management teams that don't explain how they are going to spend shareholder money," says Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush and a Facebook bull. "Facebook is saying, 'Trust us.' Investors don't need to know about every pencil, but they want to know the strategy." So far, Facebook has said little, and the company lacks the credibility and track record of Google, Apple and Amazon.com (AMZN).
FACEBOOK GENERATES almost 85% of its revenue from advertisements, much of it from ads on the right side of the screen when users visit the site on PCs. Ads are likely to remain its mainstay for some time to come. But in a troubling sign, last week online research firm eMarketer, after cutting its estimate of Facebook's revenue, projected that Google would top Facebook in online display-ad revenue this year.
Facebook conceivably could charge modest subscription fees to its users of, say, $1 a month and generate $5 billion or more of annual revenue, even with significant user attrition, but the company has ruled that out. "It's free and always will be," the Facebook log-in page says.
Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, has acknowledged the company's ad "challenge." On the July earnings conference call, she said, "That's mainly because we're a completely new kind of marketing. We're not TV. We're not search. We're a third medium."
It's not easy to measure the effectiveness of this third medium because its ads are often more about brand building than transactional. "Facebook's jumble of activity centers on communications with a roster of friends, a core activity where commercial intervention may be less welcome," writes Paul Sagawa of Sector & Sovereign Research.
As Facebook was trying to win over sometimes skeptical advertisers with desktop ads, its users were moving to mobile devices. Facebook's response has been advertisements that it euphemistically calls "sponsored stories" based on products or services recommended by a user's Facebook friends. Yet these ads, which appear in the user's "news feed"—comments, pictures, and videos from friends—may be alienating users and driving them away from the Website. Some appear again and again, stating that a particular friend "likes" Wal-Mart or Target. A recent lawsuit actually challenges this practice, arguing users ought to be compensated as paid spokesmen or allowed to opt out and not have their names attached to sponsored stories.
"If the mobile ads were well targeted and creative, that would be a good thing, or at least not an annoying thing. But the ads seem untargeted and not very creative," says Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG in New York. "Facebook seems to be proud to have the biggest and most disruptive ads on mobile devices. I struggle with the idea that bigger is better. It's not a great user experience. If consumers are upset with this, it could result in a reverse spiral down."
Greenfield, who now has a Neutral rating on the stock after urging investors to avoid it at the IPO, says Facebook's mobile strategy has him "getting more concerned, not less" about its outlook. He points out that 11% of Facebook users accessed the site only through their mobile devices in June, up from 9% in March. That percentage is likely to grow.
Most of those mobile-only users probably are under 25, and it's within that group that Facebook is seeing reduced usage on PCs. Evercore Partners analyst Ken Sena estimates that domestic PC users spent 12% less time in August on Facebook than they did in the same month a year earlier. His estimate is based on data from comScore, which measures U.S. Internet traffic. Sena's analysis shows that the declines were sharpest among users aged 12 to 17 and 18 to 24, which saw drops of 42% and 25%, respectively. Time spent on Facebook by PC users aged 55 and older was up sharply.
An aging demographic isn't good with a youth-focused ad industry. Will young people continue to be attracted to a social networking site frequented by their mothers and grandmothers? Some of the decline in desktop usage is being offset by mobile access, but it's not easy to assess the combined impact.
Paul Sagawa says Facebook's mobile problems go beyond the small screen size. "The paradigm shift to the app model is unequivocally bad for Facebook," he wrote in a recent report. "Facebook is designed to be open all the time, to be visited in the gaps of the day or as a platform in its own right, bridging to a variety of activities related to the social network." The app model, he says, disrupts this approach. Users open a mobile app for a reason and close it as soon as they are finished. "Why use Facebook to play a game, read an article, manage your photos, stream music, or shop," he wrote, "when you can select a specialized app directly." Moreover, Apple and Google, which control most mobile operating systems, siphon away some of the revenue from Facebook apps.
The app model may favor more specialized sites like Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp (YELP), LinkedIn (LNKD), and Trulia (TRLA), the real-estate Website that had a hot IPO last week. Facebook, Sagawa says, ought to create more specialized apps, like Instagram by Facebook, Facebook chat, or Facebook messaging tied together by a common user name and password.
IN COMING MONTHS, FACEBOOK'S share price could be depressed by significant sales by holders subject to expiring lock-up restrictions established at the time of the IPO. Already, co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has sold 7.5 million shares, or 5% of his stake, and early investor and director Peter Thiel has sold 20.1 million shares, or 80% of his holding (see table, Major Insider Sales Since IPO).
Some 234 million shares (including options and restricted stock) become available for sale on Oct. 29, followed by another 777 million on Nov. 14. That's a lot relative to the current float of as much as 692 million shares, representing the 421 million sold at the IPO and another 271 million shares on which lock-up restrictions already have expired. The total share count is 2.65 billion.
Zuckerberg's recent decision not to sell any of his 504 million shares for at least a year reduced the potential flood of shares, but his decision shouldn't have been seen as a surprise. As CEO and controlling shareholder, Zuckerberg would have had a hard time selling any stock without a serious negative market reaction.
Even with the sharp drop in its share price, Facebook remains a richly valued bet on the company's ability to wring a lot of revenue from a huge and potentially fickle user base. Facebook's mobile woes aren't likely to go away. Stay away from the stock. It could be heading to the mid-teens.

London took impressive, unprecedented measures to inject a healthy dose of sustainability into the 2012 Summer Games including, but not limited to, erecting a recyclable basketball stadium (the temporary steel structure will be dissembled and shipped elsewhere for further use, possibly to Rio for the 2016 Olympics), repurposing the water used to clean swimming pool filters in Zaha Hadid's stunning Aquatics Centre for toilet flushing, launching an ambitious recycling scheme for all those millions of spent crisp packets, and resurrecting Trackpants Spice and Co. from the dead for the Closing Ceremonies.
And for those wondering what will become of the Olympic Village that housed about 17,000 athletes and officials from around the globe — those buildings will be transformed into East Village, a park-heavy East London district with 2,818 new housing units (1,379 of them will be affordable) for sale and rent. In each of the units, temporary partitions installed for the games will be removed and kitchens will be installed to make way for proper apartments and townhouses.
Sounds fantastic but what about all that brand new furniture and all those fixtures and fittings installed throughout the Olympic Village that only got about two week's worth of use? Chances are that it's up for grabs at Remains of the Games, a giant online fire sale dedicated to unloading all the stuff — 100 percent authentic stuff ranging from bookcases, beanbag chairs and Usain Bolt-sized beds — found in the Olympic Village apartments and, yes, used by the athletes themselves.
You're probably wondering if you can actually buy the exact same mirror that Aliya Mustafina applied her super-fierce eye makeup in front of each morning, the same sofa that James Magnussen collapsed onto after a long day in the pool, the same locker where Tom Daley stashed his Speedo, or the same bedside LED lamp that Gabby Douglas turned off before calling it a night. The short answer? No, you can't, but that's part of the fun of it all (more on that below).
You're also probably wondering if this is all legit. Yep, it sure is as Remains of the Games is an "autonomous trading division" run by Ramler Furniture, the Australia-based company that provided the Olympics with a majority of its F, F and E (fixtures, fittings and equipment). Plus, each and every item sold through the website sports a label of authenticity proclaiming that "This product was proudly made and supplied to the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games." And due to the items' secondhand nature, Remains of the Games makes it clear that "small blemishes or tiny scratches are expected during their two weeks of use."
Ramler marketing executive Paul Levin tells the Telegraph: "Who actually used each item? Their new owners will never know. But there is definitely a fun factor in speculating who slept on the bed, or which athlete pressed the switch on their lamp as they turned off the light the night before the most important day of their life."
Remains of the Games is easy to navigate, although you have to hunt around for some of the more unusual swag including Jeeves bowler hat lamps, bathroom rubbish bins and translucent pink dining chairs. And although the holidays are months away, it's never too early to buy the diehard Olympics-watcher in your life a gently used wooden bathmat, wall clock or striped deck chair. And don't forget that back-to-school season is in full-swing — dorm-dwelling students can never have enough wooden clothes hangers or power strips. Or perhaps you'd like to send them off to college with their personal, hotel-style safe? And yep, the items can be shipped internationally (they'll ship in late October).
Adds Levin: "There has been a huge emphasis on accessibility and value-for-money during the games and we want to make sure that anybody will be able to buy something that, for a short time and in its own small way, played a part of the biggest sporting event on the planet."
Lots more — the website has been up for a while now and many items are selling quick — over at Remains of the Games. Anything special that catches your eye?
And if you didn't happen to catch this clip the first time around, please do watch it. It's seriously the most mesmerizing, impossible-seeming feat that I caught during the Olympics (aside from the Spice Girls reunion).

The coolest Bible movies: 'Noah' and beyond
There is an ark with animals boarding it two by two, a great apocalyptic flood and the builder of the big boat, driven by foreknowledge of the catastrophe. Everyone knows the story, taken from the Bible's Book of Genesis and now spun into Darren Aronofsky's "Noah," starring Russell Crowe and opening in the middle of Lent.
The writer-director is not promising that it will please the faithful, declaring in one interview, " 'Noah' is the least biblical movie ever made," and telling the audience at the film's recent Mexico City world premiere, "It's a very, very different movie. Anything you're expecting, you're wrong."
Maybe "Noah" will turn out to be as provocative as Aronofsky's comments seem to promise, or maybe not, but it does underline that biblical dramas are not one-size-fits-all. Some only the faithful will embrace, others even the secular (and sometimes only the secular) can love, and then there are those that, because of their spectacle and star power, have wider appeal.
This seems like a good time to look at some of them. This list barely scratches the surface of a genre that has its roots in the silent era. Here are nine movies that represent a sample of the celebrated and the obscure, the famous and the infamous, the pious and the irreverent:
The Ten Commandments (1956): Director Cecil B. DeMille ended his long and storied career with a remake of his own 1923 silent-era drama with this massive, glittering epic, which has had a place on ABC's prime-time spring schedule since the 1970s. Charlton Heston is Moses in this production, which also stars Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Vincent Price and 25,000 extras. Nearly four hours long, it wastes none of that time as DeMille applies his showmanship and eye for detail to the tale of the Hebrew prophet who led his people to freedom. Nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture, it won for special effects, which, given the grandeur of the parting of the Red Sea alone, was a prize richly justified.
King of Kings (1961): Director Nicholas Ray ("Rebel Without a Cause," "Johnny Guitar") and screenwriter Philip Yordan put a political spin on Christ's familiar story in this drama that stars Jeffrey Hunter as a fair, blue-eyed Jesus; Rip Torn as Judas; Robert Ryan as John the Baptist; and Harry Guardino as Barabbas. The panoramic tale sets Jesus and his peaceful message against a Judea simmering with rebellion against the Romans in a film that gives context to familiar events.
Ben-Hur (1959): He played Moses in "The Ten Commandments" and John the Baptist in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965), but Judah Ben-Hur was the greatest of Charlton Heston's biblical roles. A wealthy Judean, Ben-Hur is sentenced to a lifetime of slavery when he crosses Messala (Stephen Boyd), a boyhood friend who is now a Roman tribune. Ben-Hur will regain his freedom and seek revenge in the chariot arena, but he will also find faith when he has two momentous meetings with Jesus. The chariot race is thrilling, but there is more to recommend in William Wyler's opulent classic, not the least of which is its sheer scope.
Jesus of Nazareth (1977): "A Clockwork Orange" scribe Anthony Burgess was among the writers on Franco Zeffirelli's six-hour miniseries and later wrote a novel, "The Man of Nazareth," based on the teleplay. Robert Powell is yet another blue-eyed Jesus in this expansive, all-star (Christopher Plummer, Ernest Borgnine, Olivia Hussey, Rod Steiger, Michael York, Anne Bancroft, James Farentino) biopic, which begins with Jesus' boyhood and presents him as much as an ordinary human being as a divinity.
David and Bathsheba (1951): "Mighty as Goliath! Fiery as Their Love!" read the tagline of this romantic drama, which is the first clue that this sumptuous production has dispensed with piety in favor of the thrill of adultery. Gregory Peck, an actor more often identified with rectitude - thanks to roles in such films as "Gentleman's Agreement" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" - takes a walk on the wild side as the Israeli king and slayer of Goliath when he dallies with the married Bathsheba (Susan Hayward), a sin that comes at a cost. Gorgeous cinematography by Leon Shamroy and an involving Philip Dunne screenplay (both nominated for Oscars) are among the delights in this lavish tale.
The Passion of the Christ (2004): It's been a decade since Mel Gibson's controversial drama opened on Ash Wednesday to a rapturous reception from those willing to buy into the auteur's blood-soaked vision of Jesus' final hours. A box office behemoth, it grossed more than $600 million worldwide, but critics perceived anti-Semitism in Gibson's storytelling and decried his laser focus on Jesus' suffering.
Godspell (1973): An alternative to this pick is Norman Jewison's adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," which came out the same year, but that is a darker work (and told from Judas Iscariot's point of view). Subtitled "A Musical Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew," "Godspell" is a more effervescent work, situating Jesus and his apostles in 1970s Manhattan and imagining them as a troupe of vaudevillian hippies. Victor Garber is a sunny, carrot-top Jesus who ministers to his flock all over New York and shares with David Haskell, who plays both John and Judas, an exuberant song-and-dance number atop the then-unfinished World Trade Center.
Jesus of Montreal (1989): In Denys Arcand's clever drama, Lothaire Bluteau stars as a Montreal actor playing Jesus in a radical interpretation of a passion play whose life begins to resemble Christ's. It's a brilliant conceit, as Arcand manages to find modern-day equivalents for what Jesus confronted and endured, even identifying what qualifies for resurrection in a secular, contemporary world.
The Prince of Egypt (1998): Val Kilmer is the voice of Moses and Ralph Fiennes his nemesis Ramses in this animated version of the Bible tale. This DreamWorks production is terrific, especially when it comes to such things as a plague of locusts swarming the kingdom and the parting of the Red Sea. It is also a musical, with a handful of tunes from "Godspell" songwriter Stephen Schwartz, including the Oscar-winning "When You Believe." Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jeff Goldblum, Martin Short and Steve Martin co-star. {sbox}

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesotans have a chance to get rid of their old and unused prescription drugs on Saturday.
April 26 is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. State Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson encourages Minnesotans to dispose of their unwanted prescription drugs as a way to stop drug abuse before it starts.
Jesson says illegally used prescription drugs are usually obtained from a friend or relative. And she notes abuse of prescription painkillers has contributed to a rise in heroin and other opiate abuse.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has set Take-Back Day from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Unused prescription drugs also can be disposed of year-round at many local law enforcement and county offices.

Svoboda Tzekova-bulgarian Abc Book History Book/Encyclopedia
At Design Interviews
Interview with Svoboda Tzekova : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Svoboda Tzekova : A historical review of Bulgarian primers during the past two centuries through a subjective selection and interpretation of the visual and text content. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Svoboda Tzekova : The aim was to achieve a harmonious combination of various visual and verbal information, using a neutral design that helps the reader to enter the subject. Something that could be regarded both as an easy reading and an in-depth analysis. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Svoboda Tzekova : An exhibition. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Svoboda Tzekova : The research took one year and the design itself — six months. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Svoboda Tzekova : I have been working on the concept together with Anton Staykov. Although the final result embodies our idea, we had to meet our publisher's requirements. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Svoboda Tzekova : Fortunately, right after its initial stage the project was supported by the biggest Bulgarian textbook publisher. A substantial aspect was the fact that the publishing house owns the archive of the state textbook publisher form the socialist period. Without the access to those resources we wouldn't be able to complete the project at all. Thanks to PROSVETA Publishing we also had the chance to collaborate with professional editors. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Svoboda Tzekova : Before no such thing existed in Bulgarian. The field was rather unexplored and I believe that such products play a crucial role for the society. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Svoboda Tzekova : Anton Staykov as a co-author of the concept and а main contributor in the whole process of research and compilation. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Svoboda Tzekova : Both specialised and ordinary readers. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Svoboda Tzekova : Epson and Canon scanners, iMac, EIZO monitor, Adobe Photoshop, In Design, Adobe AcrobatPro .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Svoboda Tzekova : The writer Nadezhda Radulova was helping through the whole process and contributed with two texts; Marin Ginev was our main editor, Vihra Stoeva-Yancheva - artistic editor, Zhana Gancheva - technical editor. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Svoboda Tzekova : Without the contemporary scanners and monitors reproducing the imagery or the old print materials would be impossible. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Svoboda Tzekova : We have gone through the stocks of 30 public libraries and more than 50 private collections to create the first catalogue of Bulgarian reading textbooks. For the purpose of the book, 700 representative images were selected. In this number are illustrations, photos, diagrams, typographical images, facsimiles. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Svoboda Tzekova : The aim was to achieve a harmonious combination of various visual and verbal information, using a neutral design that helps the reader to enter the subject. This kind of new genre needed special approach. .

The game-file in SGF format.
This game was played in the evening after the British Lightning Tournament. The players were two kyu players who had both done particularly well in the lightning tournament earlier. Black was R Borcherds 5 kyu, and white was G Bayliss 3 kyu. They played on the back of the stage and Mr Nagahara, professional 6 dan visiting from Japan, commented on the game from the front of the stage, Stuart Dowsey translated. What follows is a reconstruction, so far as we can remember them, of Nagahara's comments.

A little plate of seafood.
Higher than normal winter temperatures are not conducive to hearty hearth braises, roasted roots and the chocolate-like whiff that red wine & red meat seem to waft. So something a bit lighter, well marinated, fragrant, delicate and compatible with vinegar -which, I am pleased to drink by the spoonful or get fix through the venerable breakfast pickle sandwich. Pickled mackerel, blue prawns gently steamed in their shells, and barely poached-in-their-shells Chincoteague oysters. A couple of pickled mushrooms and pickled onions from last summer's pickles. Some bits of lemon and a considerable drenching of the finest quality French olive oil. Some herbaceous crunch and verdant punch from the parsley. Mustard seeds dredged from the bottom that would make the Rice Krispies gnomes blush. Briny, floppy oysters; succulent, meaty mackerel; delicate, plump shrimp.
A re-imagined, betterized version will include octopus or squid, cured sturgeon and its caviar and grilled bread to sop up the oil slick* and fried squid tentacles for he essential crunch that I crave.
* I have proposed to environmentalists and oil industry cleaner-uppers that an efficient culinary method for transforming the oil into an easily scoopable product would be to drop a few million egg yolks and ride over the affected area with a multitude of outboard motors, whipping up the oil and egg mixture into a stiff mayonnaise. You're welcome Neptune.

This Wrox Blox shows you how to add graphics to Visual Basic 2008 applications by explaining fundamental graphics techniques such as: drawing shapes with different colors and line styles; filling areas with colors, gradients, and patterns; drawing text that is properly aligned, sized, and clipped exactly where you want it; manipulating images and saving results in bitmap, JPEG, and other types of files. Also covered are instructions for how to greatly increase your graphics capabilities using transformations, which allow you to move, stretch, or rotate graphics. They also let you work in coordinate systems that make sense for your application. The author also describes techniques for using the above in printouts, describing the sequence of events that produce a printout and show how to generate and preview printouts, with examples which show how to wrap long chunks of text across multiple pages, if necessary.
In addition, you will learn about two powerful new graphic tools that were introduced with .NET Framework 3.0: WPF graphics and FlowDocuments. XAML graphic commands allow a WPF application to draw and fill the same kinds of shapes that a program can draw by using graphics objects.
Finally, a discussion on the FlowDocument object shows you how to define items that should be flowed across multiple pages as space permits. This lets you display text, graphics, controls, and other items that automatically flow across page breaks. FlowDocument viewers make displaying these documents easy for you, and simplifies the user's reading of the documents.
This Wrox Blox also contains 35 example programs written in Visual Basic 2008, although most of the code works in previous versions of Visual Basic .NET as well. The most notable exceptions are WPF graphics and FlowDocuments, both of which require WPF provided in .NET Framework 3.0 and later.

#1 Sticky suggestion: Bouncy grading09-06-2008, 02:31 AM
I think we need a stciky with bouncy rules for visiting DUmmies. Let's face it, the quality of bouncies has been steadily declining while the numbers are on the rise. I suggest we have a stciky which explains the basics of grading bouncies so that the DUmmiess can score some decent bongage.
All of the following gain additional bong power:
a) "So, I was ....." - This one doesn't score too many autobongs - maybe one at best - but at least it's sets the stage.
b) Location, location, location - You need to be in line at Wal-Mart (which you NEVER go to but just HAD TO for whatever reason.) Or you need to be at the gas pump and see an offedning bumper sticker on a Hummer, SUV, big 'ole pickup, etc... Or you need to be in a bar, Applebee's, Starbucks or any other well-known national chain. Though if you can give an eloquent description of a local small business(like Obama would) that works too.
c) The (soon to be converted) "opponent" - this has to be a DU Rethuglican stereotype. e.g. NASCAR dad, "atomic" fundie, trust fund MBA, my grandmother who has been a devoted (and voted) Republican all of her life,.... you get the idea.
d) Conversion - This is really the key elelment of any good bouncy. Unless you've taken the "opponent" and converted them with DUmmie talking points then there's no way you're gonna score above 4 bongs. It just ain't gonna happen unles you're very good at creative writing.
e) "Dumbfounded" or "speechless" - Once again, the key here is to use DUmie talking points or, better yet, DUmmie "logic" to silence and convert the opponent.
f) It has to end up with someone voting for Obama and rushing to change their voter registration from Rep to Dem. Converting an independent or fence-sitter is kind of wimpy.
g) Extra credit - given for cops leaping out of bushes, bricks and a few other things related to some of the classic legacy bouncies.

Hello I am a new member to this forum and have a project that I need some help on.
I have a New Holland selfpropelled baler that doesn't have a air conditioner in it the factory could install one but it was a option,the cab is small just a seat for the operator they came with the old ford square compressor and the condensor was separate with a fan running it like a pusher fan,I have another machine that has the same ac set up on it to go by
So do I need to find any condensor that size and hook up a pusher fan on it and find a small evaporator peobably 4"-6" -14 long or close to it and make a box to hold it in and put a fan behind it. All the other componetes I can get from automotive,is there anything like matching the compressor to the condensor and evaporator and expansion valve that I need to know? I think the original was from ford parts planning on using R134. I can work on ac units so it is not new to me but I dont know anything about building one
New Holland doesnt offer these parts any more and finding a used set up is very difficult,just figured that some of the components from old ford pickups will work
Thanks for the help

Re: Building a air condition system
i would look over the other machine's parts for numbers use the discontinued part numbers to look for used parts or old stock on the internet, as a last resort start measuring the parts to match them up as close as possible to whats available being sold or have it made for you. you will need the original style compressor so it will bolt up and have the correct belt pulley, the hoses can be made for you locally with pressure switch fittings.heck there may be a aftermarket kit available or someone selling a used kit on ebay.but you will need the kits part number or the individual part numbers to piece it together.

Update (August 28, 3:30 p.m. EST)
Gabby Douglas became an overnight sensation and a national darling with her dazzling grin and brilliant gymnastics at the London Olympics. She became a role model and a symbol for little black girls everywhere when she earned the title of all around champion in the women's individual floor competition and refused to let a barrage of online negativity about her hairstyle get her down.
Then, in an interview that aired on Oprah's Next Chapter on OWN over the weekend, she became the recipient of an outpouring of sympathy when she admitted she had been the target of racial bullying while training in Virginia before moving to Iowa to coach with her mentor Liang Chow.
Douglas told Oprah:
Yeah, I was going through some tough times. I was just, you know, kind of getting racist jokes, kind of, being isolated from the group. So it was definitely hard. I would come home at night and just cry my eyes out because I was like, what did I do to deserve this? I was the only African American at that gym. I definitely felt isolated. Why am I deserving this? Is it because I'm black? Those thoughts were going through my mind. I was so scared at my old gym to show my potential because a lot of the girls would isolate me still. I was just holding back, so I felt like still I needed to move and really shine and not be discouraged and letting my talent go to waste.Scroll down for the full interview
Now, the staff and gymnasts of Excalibur Gymnastics, the Virginia Beach training center where the supposed bullying took place, has denied that the gym is welcoming, inclusive--and that Gabby is lying.
Gustavo Moure, Excalibur's president and CEO, released a full-throated denial of Douglas's claims.
"We have, indeed, provided an environment where all our gymnasts can thrive," Moure said. "Gabby's remarks were hurtful and without merit. We've had more African Americans in elite and on the national team than any other gym in the country. Her African-American former teammates will answer this serious accusation. We are good people. We never were knowingly involved in any type of bullying or racist treatment, like she is accusing Excalibur."
He then went on to undermine the credibility of both Douglas and her mother, Natalie Hawkins. "If Gabby was suffering from bullying, why didn't Mrs. Hawkins ever mention it while Gabby was training here or complain after she left Excalibur?" Moure asked. "I wish to defend the children that trained with her and supported her when she attacks them with these allegations. Is Gabrielle a credible person just because she is an Olympic Champion? She is not giving any names or dates, leading us to believe that the accusation is fake. This wouldn't be the first time that the media has made up a story."
Owner Dena Walker, said that, in all the years she spent with Douglas at the gym, she never witnessed bullying or isolation.
"I never once heard anything about any bullying or being isolated," Walker told the Virginian-Pilot (watch the video, below). "She and my daughter are the same age and she came to all my daughter's birthday parties. She came home with me a lot, had dinner with us... she was like family to us."
"We're very hurt by the accusations," Walker said.
Morgan Evans, a former teammate and now a coach at Excalibur, said she's offended by Douglas's assertions.
"There's been a lot of successful African-American athletes at this gym," Evans said. "So for her to sit there and say that she was the only one was just mind-boggling."
"I know she didn't name names, but I think the fact that she said, Excalibur, I was bullied there, everyone's going to think, Oh, everyone at that gym's a racist so everyone at that gym is a bully," Evans continued. "It's just disrespectful to our name, to all the innocent people who were nice to her, who were respectful to her, and I just feel hurt."
Original post follows:
Before she flipped, somersaulted, and leapt into the hearts of people everywhere, Gabrielle Douglas was already generating serious buzz as part of the "fierce five," the U.S. senior women's gymnastics team heading to London Olympic games and expected to win it all.
Not only did Douglas, along with her teammates Alexandra Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross, bring home gold in the team competition, Gabby became the first African-American woman to win individual all-around gold.
Gabby sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview that aired on Sunday's "Oprah's Next Chapter," opening up about facing racism, homesickness, the hair controversy and even her absent dad.
We've heard much of what she told the queen of daytime before--how she nearly gave up on her dream of becoming an Olympian until her mom let her move to Iowa to train with Shawn Johnson's coach, Liang Chow, how strangers in Des Moines took her in and soon became her second family.
But her training in Virginia Beach was perhaps worse than she'd let on before.
"The real truth is, you were going through some things at the other gym, right?" Winfrey asked.
"Yeah, I was going through some tough times," Douglas said. "I was just, you know, kind of getting racist jokes, kind of, being isolated from the group. So it was definitely hard. I would come home at night and just cry my eyes out because I was like, what did I do to deserve this?"
Douglas gives a heartbreaking example--being called a slave by the other gymnasts at her training center--with her usual cheerful demeanor, but the 16-year-old was clearly affected by the insults.
"I was the only African American at that gym," she said. "I definitely felt isolated. Why am I deserving this? Is it because I'm black? Those thoughts were going through my mind."
"I was so scared at my old gym to show my potential because a lot of the girls would isolate me still. I was just holding back, so I felt like still I needed to move and really shine and not be discouraged and letting my talent go to waste," she said.
For most, her race was an irrelevant part of her success story. Instead, they took note of her high-flying skills on the high bar, her megawatt grin, even the dramatic story of her decision to leave home and family in Virginia to live and train with the perfect coach in Iowa. She, like many Olympians, made her mark by overcoming the competition, simply outshining every other gymnast on the floor to take home gold.
But Gabby's race became part of the narrative as soon as her hair became a bigger topic than her championship gymnastics. Douglas describes feeling confused at seeing mentions on Twitter and searches on Google about her hair.
The criticism started with African American women.
"You know why it sickens me?" Winfrey told her. "We're the only ones who would care to notice, because the whole world is looking at your athletic prowess, and there are a few naysayers--haters--who are on talking about your hair."
"I thought your hair was cute. I thought, Oh gee, everyone's doing the same hairdo."
But the best moment of the whole interview might be right at the start, when Winfrey first arrives in Iowa to greet Douglas.
Wrapping the giggling Olympian in a giant hug, Winfrey says: "It's like looking at my younger self."
Olympians are regularly held up as inspirational figures, particularly for young girls and boys just beginning their own forays into athletics. But Gabby Douglas, like Dominique Dawes did when she became the first black person to win a gold medal in gymnastics (in the team final in 1996), will mean something more to a generation of young African American girls.

Milos Golic was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Mikasa Player of the Week it was announced Monday by the league. The senior scored 10 goals during UCSB's two games last weekend, including a career-high tying seven goals in an 11-10 win over No. 8 Long Beach State.
Golic scored seven goals for the third time in his career during the Saturday win over the 49ers. He scored four goals in the first three quarters before helping the Gauchos climb back from a three-goal deficit with a pair of goals in the fourth quarter. The senior scored with 3:01 remaining in regulation time, tying the game at 10-all. He then tallied the game-winner just 26 seconds into sudden victory overtime to capture the first 2010 MPSF win for the Gauchos.
The native of Belgrade, Serbia also tallied three steals and drew an ejection in the victory.
On Sunday, Golic led the Gauchos with a hat trick against No. 2 USC. UCSB dropped the match, 13-9, to earn a split on the weekend.
Golic currently leads all MPSF players with 45 goals on the year and is second in the league with an average of 2.81 per game. Earlier this season, he broke the UCSB career goals record and his new school record currently stands at 257 goals.
UCSB (10-6, 1-2) will take this week off from games before continuing its current four-game road swing with games at Cal and Pacific on Nov. 6 and 7, respectively.

Sticky Popcorn was another one of those recipes we were convinced my had Mom invented (like Pizza Bread). It was melted marshmallows and popcorn stirred together to create and an ooey, gooey treat. We would make it on Friday nights while we watch movies like Harry and the Hendersons or Adventures in Babysitting. To top it all off, she would add food coloring to the melted marshmallows to tint the 'sticky' of the popcorn to pink, blue, purple, or green. We thought that it was amazing.
The concept behind "Sticky Popcorn" was the same as rice krispies or popcorn balls... melted butter and marshmallows heated together with rice krispies or popcorn added in. The beauty of the sticky popcorn at our movie nights was that is was served warm, in big bowls. To children. To children who ate it with their hands. We loved it! We loved it so much that we always convinced our babysitters to let us make it. I'm sure they loved the mess we made of ourselves, the kitchen and anything we touched with our food-coloring, sticky popcorn fingers.
This tamed version of Sticky Popcorn, the Sticky Popcorn Cake, is a great version to make for bake sales, potlucks, back-to-school parties, sleepovers and birthdays. It is also great to cut into slices for kids' lunches. But, on movie nights at home, I recommend you make the original, messy version of Sticky Popcorn for your kids, too. You can add M&M's, peanuts (but beware of peanut allergies these days...), chocolate chips, gummy worms, etc. to the original version or cake. Whatever your kids will love. Let them help!
I don't use enough marshmallows in my recipes. They really are a great ingredient... I can't wait to make more homemade marshmallows this Fall and Winter for my hot chocolate.
Puffed marshmallows after the microwave.
The sticky... yum.
This is how it was served to us for movie night. What kid wouldn't love it?
You get the idea.
Ready for its flip!
Back-to-School season was such a fun time for me - especially Back-to-School shopping. I loved getting new binders, crazy pencils and pens, notebooks and of course, the all important backpack. New creative gear was so inspiring to me - wait, it still is! It must be so hard for families going through tough times to get their kids excited about Back-to-School.
Join me in giving back this Back-to-School season! Click on the link to the left, order some school supplies for your own kids (or your new organized office space/craft room...), then with the 15% off, you can afford to spend a little extra to donate to someone less fortunate.

Eight decades or so ago, the sartorial futurists of the British newsreel Pathetone Weekly predicted that women would affix headlights to their foreheads to attract suitors and utilize see-through fabric to tantalize would-be mates. Given all the halogen flood light bonnets I've seen on sale for Black Friday, one of these predictions came true. I am however a twinge cross that the business casual utility belt has yet to be socially acceptable.

The OHRC uses targeted legal action, including Public Interest Inquiries, to advance an expansive interpretation of the Code, establish important precedents that adopt OHRC policies, promote broader public change, and pursue public interest remedies. Some of our most recent case work can be found below. Each Annual Report also reviews the past year's legal work.
The OHRC's Litigation and inquiry strategy sets out when and how the OHRC decides to conduct an inquiry or take an application to the Human Rights Tribunal or when to intervene in a legal proceeding.
To request a Commission initiated-application, inquiry or intervention, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
See our Litigation and Inquiry Strategy for more information about OHRC legal action.
Factum of the proposed intervenor Ontario Human Rights Commission
Commission intervenes in court case involving a Muslim woman's right to testify wearing her niqab (face covering)
The central issue in this appeal is the apparent conflict between the intersecting religious and equality rights of a witness and the fair trial rights of the accused in the context of a criminal proceeding. The OHRC's submissions set out a process, based in existing case law, to analyze and reconcile potentially competing rights. The proposed process can apply, with appropriate modifications, to any competing rights claims whether they arise under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter), human rights legislation, the common law or otherwise.
Human Rights settlement reached with Ministry of Education on Safe Schools
The Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Ontario Ministry of Education have finalized a settlement of a human rights complaint initiated by the Commission against the Ministry and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) in July 2005. A settlement was reached separately with the TDSB in November 2005.
The shadow of the law: Surveying the case law dealing with competing rights claims
This document explains the legal backdrop for the Commission's Policy Framework. It is divided into two main sections. The first provides an overview and summary of key legal principles from some significant legal decisions. This section aims to help readers understand the relevant legal background when seeking to conciliate or otherwise reconcile competing rights claims. The second part of the document surveys the leading cases that deal with competing rights. It also provides examples of situations where the leading cases, and the key principles from them, have been applied by courts and tribunals. It is divided by the types of rights conflicts that most commonly arise. The cases are discussed in some detail as the specific factual context of each case is so important to the rights reconciliation process.
Backgrounder - Tribunal finds Falun Gong a protected creed under Ontario's Human Rights Code
Western scholars of religion would characterize Falun Gong as a new religious movement. The essence of Falun Gong is spiritual elevation. Falun Gong practitioners believe in the existence of gods and divine beings in the cosmos. Its leader, Li Hongzhi, has written a form of 'scripture.' His message is profoundly moral.
Creed case law review
May 2012 - What follows is a discussion of significant legal decisions dealing with religious and creed rights in Canada. The focus is on decisions made since the Commission issued its 1996 Policy on Creed and the Accommodation of religious observances. It does not review every decision, but those that may be important from a human rights perspective. In addition to a description of the case law, trends and areas where it is anticipated the case law will continue to evolve or be clarified are identified. The review will form the basis for further research and dialogue concerning the law in Canada as it relates to this significant area of human rights.

A domain is the top-level administrative component of Oracle IRM. It contains all other Oracle IRM components.
Within a domain there are four administrator types:
Domain administrators create other administrators. They also create roles and context templates, and can create contexts from those templates.
Domain managers create contexts from the templates created by domain administrators.
Inspectors can be given permission to view user and group rights for previously created contexts, and to run audit reports.
Context managers manage user and group rights within previously created contexts.
The four administrator types can each see and use a different combination of pages and tabs on the Oracle IRM Server administration console. See Section A.2, "Visibility of Pages and Tabs to Administrator Types".
A user can have multiple administrative roles. For example, domain administrators should normally also be made inspectors. However, because domain administrators have all the privileges of a domain manager, domain managers are prevented from also being domain administrators.
The administrative roles are not hierarchical. For example, domain administrators cannot perform context manager functions, unless a particular user is both a domain administrator and a context manager.
Note:Users who are domain administrators should also be set up as inspectors. This will let them see all contexts, and therefore be able to assess the impact of changes they make to context templates. For the same reason, contexts should normally be made visible to inspectors.
Although Oracle IRM Server supports groups (both users and groups can be given rights), groups cannot be given administrative roles.
Note:There is no correspondence between Oracle IRM domains and WebLogic server domains.

text: GAMF is a framework that allows developers to focus on system specific components when building managers for controlling a target system's configuration parameter in an autonomic manner. GAMF provides autonomic control components which are based on the autonomic management cycle (see Kephart and Chess). The generic control components comprise monitoring facilities (event generation), managing of monitoring data (thread-safe provision and filtering for events), and scheduling of metric extractions or policy evaluations (at regular intervals, or at the occurrence of a specific event, or arbitrarily). In addition to the generic control components, GAMF provides abstract system specific control components which can be easily extended and customized.

Applicant Sues Lighting Company for Requiring Employees to Be Christian
Voss Lighting, a national supplier of lighting products, is fighting a lawsuit over claims that it did not hire an applicant because of his religious beliefs.
The company – which has a biblical mission to sell products in order to "tell everyone we can about God's soul-saving, life-transforming gospel message" – has been accused of denying a position to Edward Wolfe because he did not adhere to certain religious beliefs.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the applicant.
"Voss Lighting appears to have a corporate culture that requires employees adhere to certain religious beliefs that have absolutely no bearing on the business of selling lighting products," said EEOC trial attorney Patrick Holman in a statement. "This litigation, we hope, will serve to illuminate Voss Lighting as to Title VII's prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion."
Steve Sanderson, vice president and general manager for Voss Lighting, denied to the Tulsa World on Wednesday that the company did not hire Wolfe as a consequence of his religious beliefs.
"The individual hired by Voss had more lighting product experience and was more qualified than the charging party. Voss looks forward to a judicial determination of the rights of the parties," he added to the Tulsa World.
According to EEOC, Wolfe applied for an "operations supervisor" position at Voss after learning about it through the website of First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow. Wolfe does not attend that church.
During an interview with two managers at Voss, Wolfe was allegedly asked to identify all the churches he attended and describe the time he received Christ. The managers also allegedly asked him if he would have a problem coming to work early for a Bible study.
According to the Tulsa World, one of the managers also purportedly told Wolfe that most employees were Southern Baptist but that "as you were a 'born-again' Christian, it didn't matter what church you attended."
EEOC claims the branch manager became upset over Wolfe's responses during a second interview and then denied him employment.
EEOC is charging a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits a private employer from discriminating against applicants or employees based on their religious beliefs or practices or lack thereof.
Voss Lighting has offices in 16 cities across the United States. It states on its website that along with the business mission of providing premier lighting products, it is also committed to spreading the Gospel "as Jesus instructed believers to do." "We sell ... to tell" is its motto.

Jlboissonneault brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 35 Designs von 14 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Jean Luc Fitness
Hi my name is Jean Luc Boissonneault, On the ground, I'm a personal trainer with several studios to some of the wealthiest people in Canada. I do what I do because I love helping others achieve their goals, it makes me feel good. What differentiates me from others is that I care more.
I am starting this online company to reach an audience that can't afford to train with me yet want the next best thing. The website has workout videos, custom diets and an accountability component from friends.
I'm targeting a new market which are house wives that don't have time to exercise. This audience has no time for themselves, hates the thought of joining a gym and can't justify spending money (on themselves) for a personal trainer.
They are influenced by celebrity culture, magazines like Oxygen fitness, TV shows like Oprah and ellen. They want to look as firm and tight as some celebrities. They lack time, money and motivation.
My name needs to show high class and the word fitness needs to look fun and motivating. They have to think "It looks expensive, but fun and motivating" then look at the price and say "I can afford this".
I attached the look of the website.
The logo needs to fit in where it says freeformfitness online.

Recent announcements from Dany Bahar's Lotus tend to be met with a mix of skepticism and dread. When we got a weird notice that Lotus would present a new convertible at Geneva, we expected the soft, Evora-based worst. Happily, the new convertible is an open version of the hardcore Exige S.
The Exige S Roadster has all the hallmarks of Lotus before Bahar took over: it's simple, it's uncompromised, it's a car for serious speed heads instead of poseurs. Power comes from the Toyota-based supercharged 3.5 liter V6 as seen in the Evora S, and the car will be available with both the correct transmission and an optional semiautomatic. 0-to-60 mph times are in the three-second bracket.
There is one serious letdown to the good news for those of us in the keep-hope-alive camp: We won't get the Exige S Roadster, or any Exige, in the United States. At the moment, the Evora is now the company's sole United States offering.
Sad Americans are sad.
