SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Minutes before its game against visiting Utah State on Saturday night, UC Santa Barbara leading scorer and rebounder Alan Williams suffered upper-back spasms during warm-ups and was scratched from the starting lineup. The result was a 71-64 Aggie victory, but it didn't come easy.
The Gauchos (2-1) kept it close early and trailed just 21-19 with 8:40 left in the first half. Utah State (3-0) went on an18-6 run to take a 39-25 lead with just over a minute to play.
A lay-up by Sam Beeler off of a beautiful feed from Michael Bryson and a pair of free throws by Zalmico Harmon cut the deficit to 39-29 at by halftime.
Preston Medlin and Jarred Shaw each had nine first half points to lead the Aggies. Medlin made three of his teams six three-pointers. They were 6-of-12 from three-point territory in the first 20 minutes.
UCSB kept the momentum going as it opened the second half with an 11-0 run to claim a 40-39 lead with 17:27 left in the game. Kyle Boswell got the run started with a three-pointer and Bryson ended it with a lay-up off of an assist from Boswell. At that point the Gauchos had outscored the Aggies 15-0.
"We changed things up at halftime," Bryson said. "We realized we had to speed things up so we went small and that kind of got us back in the game."
The game was back-and-forth over the next several minutes, but with Utah State leading just 50-46 with just under 12 minutes to play, Spencer Butterfield hit consecutive three-point baskets from straight out to push the advantage back to 56-46 with remaining.
A pair of free throws by Beeler and a lay-up by Boswell got UCSB back within six with just under eight minutes to play. The lead stayed right there until the 3:48 mark when Medlin scored on a driving lay-up and was fouled by Beeler. Medlin, who finished with a team-high 18 points, made the free throw to push the Utah State edge to 66-57.
The Gauchos continued to hang around. A pair of free throws and a lay-up by Beeler narrowed the Aggie advantage to 66-62 with 1:01 left. Beeler finished with 14 points in a career-high 28 minutes.
"I thought Sam was really good at times tonight," head coach Bob Williams said. "He played through some fatigue and that says a lot about him.
Beeler, whose previous career-high in minutes played was 25 on Tuesday night at UNLV, realized he just had to stay on the court on Saturday.
"Without Al, I knew I was going to have to play a lot of minutes," Beeler said. "It just is what it is and I did what I had to do."
After Medlin made one-of-two free throws Bryson scored an acrobatic lay-up to make it 67-64, but four straight free throws by Ben Clifford extended the lead to 71-64, the final score.
Bryson paced the Gauchos in scoring with 15 points and he added four assists. Boswell added 11. UCSB's point guard tandem were also outstanding. Eric Childress came off the bench for seven points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals. He did not commit a turnover. Harmon had six points and four assists.
Spencer Butterfield added 16 for the Aggies, making 4-of-6 three-point shots. Medlin finished at 4-for-8. As a team, Utah State made 10-of-21 from beyond the three-point arc.
In addition to Williams, the Gauchos were also playing without forwards John Green and Mitch Brewe. Green is out 3-6 weeks with a foot injury and Brewe is sidelined for another two weeks with a sprained knee.
The Gauchos will be back in action on Thursday, Nov. 21 when they travel to the University of Colorado for a game that will tip-off at 5:00 p.m. (PST) and be aired on the Pac 12 Network. They will return home on Friday, Nov. 29 to host South Dakota State in a 7:00 p.m. game at the Thunderdome.

Ukraine protesters have 'crossed the limits': Yanukovych
Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych said anti-government protesters had "crossed the limits" by taking to the streets to try to oust him from power, in an address to the nation Wednesday as deadly clashes raged in Kiev.world Updated: Feb 19, 2014 12:37 IST
Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych said anti-government protesters had "crossed the limits" by taking to the streets to try to oust him from power, in an address to the nation Wednesday as deadly clashes raged in Kiev.
"The leaders of the opposition have disregarded the principle of democracy according to which we obtain power through elections and not on the street ... they have crossed the limits by calling for people to take up arms," he said.
"It is a flagrant violation of the law and those who are responsible will face justice."
Yanukovych's address came as riot police and protesters clashed at Kiev's Independence Square, the heart of anti-government protests for the past three months since he ditched an EU deal in favour of closer ties to Russia.
A day and night of bloody clashes left at least 18 people dead and saw flames engulf the square, which resembled a war zone.
The violence surged after the crisis appeared to have abated in recent days with concessions from both sides.
Yanukovych had granted amnesty to protesters, who in exchange vacated public buildings they had occupied.
However thousands of protesters rallied outside parliament Tuesday to press lawmakers to strip Yanukovych of his powers in a demonstration which slid into all-out clashes.
Yanukovych accused the opposition of calling "radicals on Maidan to an armed struggle" before lawmakers "could approve laws that would change Ukraine."
Maidan is the local name for Independence Square.
"They blocked parliament ... and demanded all the power for the opposition, and immediately.
"Without a mandate from the people, these so-called politicians tried to take power by violating the constitution through violence and murder."
Yanukovych said the opposition must either "distance itself from radicals" or "admit that it supports them".
"In that case we will speak to them differently."

Matrix Talk:Module-cmipci
From AlsaProject
From [1] When I compiled the kernel driver for my CM8738 audio card and start playing on the device I was able to hear only 4 of my 5.1 speakers - the front and the rear speakers. I have tried all of the alsamixer options and the only thing that I was able to achieve was to turn off the rear speakers by disabling 4-channel mode.
Now I am still looking for a way to listen 5.1 Surround sound with that card.
I had this problem. If you enable virtual 5.1 surround sound it works (found in the audio rack settings). Also for me the centre and sub channels were the wrong way around so I had to cut up the audio cable and swap them

JV Chucks win a thriller over the Millionaires
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Despite trailing 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Chucks JV baseball squad never quit battling and came back to earn a 7-5 victory over Williamsport behind a sixth-inning grand slam by Hunter Hickok Saturday afternoon in Punxsutawney.
"Wow, what a game," Punxsy coach Rodney Thompson said after the game. "Coach (Jeremy) Hospodar and I are very proud of these guys and their effort to stay positive and find a way to win. It was a great team effort, and everyone contributed in some way.
"Hunter had the quote of the day after giving up a home run in the third inning. (First baseman) Tyler Young told Hunter that nothing was hurt after that solo shot, and Hunter responded by saying, 'It doesn't hurt my feelings.' That's a great response and a great approach."
Trailing by two with just two trips to the plate remaining, it was Young who started the come-from-behind rally with a double off the fence in right-center field.
Dakotah Byers followed with a flyout, but with one out, the next two Punxsy batters — Clayton Dale and Matt Burkett — walked to load the bases for Hickok.
With a full count, Hickok delivered the grand slam to give the Chucks a two-run lead entering the final frame.
Hickok returned to the mound to retire the No. 2, 3 and 4 hitters, striking out two of them, to seal the victory for the Chucks.
Hickok pitched a complete game, going seven innings and allowing five runs, seven hits and four walks and striking out three.
"It was nice to see Hunter get back into a groove on the mound," Thompson said. "He did a very nice job today."
Thompson also had good things to say about his team's defensive performance.
"Defensively, we were solid today, as Clayton Dale threw out two Millionaire runners trying to steal second base," he said. "Dakotah Byers also con- tinues to play solid defense at shortstop."
In other recent JV action:
Punxsy 12, DuBois 2
Matt Burkett pitched six complete innings and "looked sharp" according to Thompson, recording five strikeouts and allowing just two runs with one walk to lead the Chucks to a 12-2, six-inning victory over the Beavers last Wednesday.
"It was another strong performance from Matt, and we are working on getting him better each time he takes the mound," Thompson said.
The Chucks recorded 15 hits en route to the 10-run victory.
Christian Falgout led all batters with three hits — one of which was a towering home run that left the ballpark in a hurry.
Hickok added another homer and completed a two-hit day with a single.
Burkett helped his own cause with a double and a single, while Dale and Brandon Blose chipped in with doubles, as well.
Ruben Taylor, Zach Bevak, Dylan Orcutt, Ethan Ambler and Byers all singled to round out the offensive attack.
The Chucks will be back in action Wednesday when they travel with the varsity team to Bradford for a 4:15 p.m. contest.

Pornographic films are motion pictures with the purpose of promoting sexual arousal in the viewer, often featuring depictions of sexual activity. They appeared shortly after the creation of the motion picture in the early 1900s. Pornographic films have much in common with other forms of pornography and erotica. Pornography is often referred to as "porn" and a pornographic work as a "porno." Older names for a pornographic movie include "adult film", "stag film", and "blue movie." In general, "softcore" refers to pornography that does not depict penetration or "extreme fetish" acts, while "hardcore" refers to pornography that depicts penetration and/or extreme fetish acts.
Throughout its history, the movie camera has been used for pornography, but for most of that time pornographic movies were typically available only by underground distribution, for projection at home or in private clubs and also night cinemas. Only in the 1970s were pornographic films semi-legitimized; by the 1980s, pornography on home video achieved distribution unimagined only decades earlier. The rise of the Internet in the late 1990s and early 2000s similarly changed distribution of pornography, and furthermore complicated legal prosecution of obscenity.
Pornography is a thriving, financially profitable business: according to a 2004 Reuters article, "The multi-billion-dollar industry releases about 11,000 titles on DVD each year, giving it tremendous power to sway the battle between two groups of studios and technology companies competing to set standards for the next generation".[1]
William Kennedy Dickson, while working for Thomas Edison, invented the first practical celluloid film and worked on making the kinetoscope, a peep show machine showing a continuous loop of the film Dickson invented lit by an Edison light source. Dickson left Edison's company to produce the mutoscope, a form of hand cranked peep show movie machine. These machines produced moving images by means of a revolving drum of card illustrations, taken from an actual piece of film. They were often featured at seaside locations, showing (usually) sequences of women undressing or acting as an artist's model. In Britain, they became known as "What the butler saw" machines, taking the name from one of the first and most famous softcore reels.[2][3]
The idea of projecting a moving film onto a screen in front of an audience was a European invention. In 1895 and 1896, Auguste and Louis Lumière and Robert W. Paul gave their first public demonstrations of motion picture projectors.[4]
Pornographic films were produced almost immediately after the medium was invented. Two of the earliest pioneers were Eugène Pirou and Albert Kirchner (although today, Kirchner is chiefly remembered by film historians as the first man to produce a film about the life of Christ, the Passion du Christ), who directed the earliest surviving pornographic film for Pirou under the trade name "Léar". The 1896 film, Le Coucher de la Marie showed Mlle. Louise Willy performing a striptease. Pirou's film inspired a genre of risqué French films showing women disrobing when other filmmakers realised profits could be made.[5][6]
Because Pirou is nearly unknown as a pornographic filmmaker, credit is often given to other films for being the first. In Black and White and Blue (2008), one of the most scholarly attempts to document the origins of the clandestine 'stag film' trade, Dave Thompson recounts ample evidence that such an industry first had sprung up in the brothels of Buenos Aires and other South American cities by the turn of the century, and then quickly spread through Central Europe over the following few years; however none of these earliest pornographic films is known to survive. According to Patrick Robertson's Film Facts, "the earliest pornographic motion picture which can definitely be dated is A L'Ecu d'Or ou la bonne auberge" made in France in 1908; the plot depicts a weary soldier who has a tryst with a servant girl at an inn. The Argentinian El Satario might be even older; it has been dated to somewhere between 1907 and 1912. He also notes that "the oldest surviving pornographic films are contained in America's Kinsey Collection. One film demonstrates how early pornographic conventions were established. The German film Am Abend (1910) is "a ten-minute film which begins with a woman masturbating alone in her bedroom, and progresses to scenes of her with a man performing straight sex, fellatio and anal penetration."[7]
Pornographic movies were widespread in the silent movie era of the 1920s, and were often shown in brothels. Soon illegal, stag films or blue films as they were called, were produced underground by amateurs for many years starting in the 1940s. Processing the film took considerable time and resources, with people using their bathtubs to wash the film when processing facilities (often tied to organized crime) were unavailable. The films were then circulated privately or by traveling salesman but being caught viewing or possessing them put one at the risk of prison.[8][9]
The post-war era saw developments that further stimulated the growth of a mass market. Technological developments, particularly the introduction of the 8mm and super-8 film gauges, resulted in the widespread use of amateur cinematography. Entrepreneurs emerged to supply this market. In Britain, the productions of Harrison Marks were "soft core", but considered risqué in the 1950s. On the continent, such films were more explicit. Lasse Braun was as a pioneer in quality colour productions that were, in the early days, distributed by making use of his father's diplomatic privileges.
In the 1960s, some attitudes towards the depiction of sexuality began to change. European movies like I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and Language of Love (1969) were sexually explicit, but were framed as a quasi-documentaries, which made their legal status uncertain.
In 1969, Denmark became the first country to legalize hardcore pornography, followed by toleration in the Netherlands also in 1969. This led to an explosion of commercially produced pornography. Now that being a pornographer was a legitimate occupation, there was no shortage of businessmen to invest in proper plant and equipment capable of turning out a mass-produced, cheap, but quality product. Vast amounts of this new pornography, both magazines and films, were smuggled into other parts of Europe, where it was sold "under the counter" or (sometimes) shown in "members only" cinema clubs.[8]
In the 1970s, more permissive legislation permitted the rise of adult theaters in the United States and many other countries. There was also a proliferation of coin-operated "movie booths" in sex shops that displayed pornographic "loops" (so-called because they projected a movie from film arranged in a continuous loop).
Denmark started producing comparatively big-budget theatrical feature film sex comedies such as Bordellet (1972), the Bedside-films (1970-1976) and the Zodiac-films (1973-1978), starring mainstream actors (a few of whom even performed their own sex scenes) and usually not thought of as "porno films" though all except the early Bedside-films included hardcore pornographic scenes. Several of these films still rank among the most seen films in Danish film history[10] and all remain favourites on home video[11].
The first explicitly pornographic film with a plot that received a general theatrical release in the U.S. is generally considered to be Mona the Virgin Nymph (also known as Mona), a 59-minute 1970 feature by Bill Osco and Howard Ziehm, who went on to create the relatively high-budget hardcore/softcore (depending on the release) cult film Flesh Gordon.[9][12]
The 1971 film Boys in the Sand represented a number of pornographic firsts. As the first generally available gay pornographic film, the film was the first to include on-screen credits for its cast and crew (albeit largely under pseudonyms), to parody the title of a mainstream film (in this case, The Boys in the Band), and to be reviewed by The New York Times.[13] Other notable American hardcore feature films of the 1970s include Deep Throat (1972), Behind the Green Door (1972), The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), Radley Metzger's The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1975) and Debbie Does Dallas (1978). These were shot on film and distributed in movie theaters. In New York, Gerard Damiano's Deep Throat gained particular notoriety and a certain social acceptance, giving rise to the term "porno chic", perceived as a cultural trend. Many predicted that frank depictions of sex onscreen would soon become commonplace, but culture soon shifted to the more conservative side and that fantasy never came true. William Rotsler expressed this in 1973, "Erotic films are here to stay. Eventually they will simply merge into the mainstream of motion pictures and disappear as a labeled sub-division. Nothing can stop this."[14] In Britain however, Deep Throat was not approved in its uncut form until 2000 and not shown publicly until June 2005.[9][15][16]
One important court case in the U.S. was Miller v. California (1973). The case established that obscenity was not legally protected, but the case also established the Miller test, a three-pronged test to determine obscenity (which is not legal) as opposed to indecency (which may or may not be legal).
With the arrival of the home video cassette recorder in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the pornographic movie industry experienced massive growth and spawned adult stars like Ron Jeremy, Christy Canyon, Ginger Lynn, John Holmes, and Traci Lords and directors, such as Gregory Dark. By 1982, most pornographic films were being shot on the cheaper and more convenient medium of videotape. Many film directors resisted this shift at first because of the different image quality that video tape produced, however those who did change soon were collecting most of the industry's profits since consumers overwhelmingly preferred the new format. The technology change happened quickly and completely when directors realised that continuing to shoot on film was no longer a profitable option. This change moved the films out of the theaters and into people's private homes. This was the end of the age of big budget productions and the mainstreaming of pornography. It soon went back to its earthy roots and expanded to cover every fetish possible since filming was now so inexpensive. Instead of hundreds of pornographic films being made each year, thousands now were, including compilations of just the sex scenes from various videos.[8][9] One could now not only watch pornography in the comfort and privacy of one's own home, but also find more choices available to satisfy specific fantasies and fetishes.
Similarly, the camcorder spurred changes in pornography in the 1980s, when people could make their own amateur sex movies, whether for private use, or for wider distribution.
It has been suggested that, among other things, Sony Betamax lost the Videotape format war to VHS (in becoming the general home video recording/viewing system) because the adult film industry chose VHS instead of the Sony system.
The year 1987 saw an important legal case in the U.S. when the de facto result of California v. Freeman was the legalization of hardcore pornography. Ironically, the prosecution of Harold Freeman was initially planned as the first in a series of legal cases that would have effectively outlawed the production of such movies.
Two technologies became prominent in the 1990s that changed pornographic movies: the DVD offered better quality picture and sound, and was embraced by pornographers just as enthusiastically as it was embraced by major Hollywood studios and by private consumers. DVD allowed innovations such as "interactive" videos that let the user choose such variables as multiple camera angles, multiple endings and computer-only DVD content.
However, the Internet arguably changed the distribution of pornography more than any earlier technology: rather than ordering movies from an adult bookstore, or through mail-order, people could watch pornographic movies on their computers. Rather than waiting weeks for an order to arrive from another U.S. state, one could download a pornographic movie within minutes (or, later, within a few seconds).
Internet pornography is distributed by means of various sectors of the Internet, primarily via paysites, video hosting services, and peer-to-peer file sharing. While pornography had been traded electronically since the 1980s, it was the invention of the World Wide Web in 1991 as well as the opening of the Internet to the general public around the same time that led to an explosion in online pornography. Like videotapes and DVDs, the Internet has proved popular for distributing pornography because it allows people to view pornography (essentially) anonymously in the comfort and privacy of their homes. It also allows access to pornography by people whose access is otherwise restricted for legal or social reasons.
The Internet also complicated legal prosecution of obscenity cases: if someone downloads a video clip that no one else in their town sees, are community standards violated? If a pornographic movie is produced in one U.S. state and downloaded in another state (after having been routed through half-a-dozen states via an Internet service provider), in which jurisdiction should the legal case be introduced? These and related questions are still being sorted out in U.S. courts.
Viv Thomas, Paul Thomas, Andrew Blake, Antonio Adamo, and Rocco Siffredi were prominent directors of the '90s.
In 1998, the Danish, Oscar-nominated film production company Zentropa became the world's first mainstream film company to openly produce hardcore pornographic films, starting with Constance (1998).
That same year, Zentropa also produced Idioterne (1998), directed by Lars von Trier, which won many international awards and was nominated for a Golden Palm in Cannes. The film includes a shower sequence with a male erection and an orgy scene with close-up penetration footage (the camera viewpoint is from the ankles of the participants, and the close-ups leave no doubt as to what is taking place). Idioterne started a wave of international mainstream arthouse films featuring explicit sexual images, such as Catherine Breillat's Romance, which starred pornstar Rocco Siffredi.
In 1999, the Danish TV-channel Kanal København started broadcasting hardcore films at night, uncoded and freely available to any TV-viewer in the Copenhagen area (as of 2009, this is still the case, courtesy of Innocent Pictures, a company started by Zentropa)[17].
The recent influx of widely available technology such as digital cameras, both moving and still, has blurred the lines between erotic films, photographs and amateur and professional productions. It allows easy access to both formats, making the production of them easily achieved by anyone with access to the equipment. Much of the pornography available today is produced by amateurs. Digital media is revolutionary in that it allows photographers and filmmakers to manipulate images in ways previously not possible, heightening the drama or eroticism of a depiction.[8]
High-definition video shows signs of changing the image of pornography as the technology is increasingly used for professional productions. The porn industry was one of the first to adopt the technology and it may have been a deciding factor in the format competition between HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc.[18] Additionally, the clearer sharper images it provides have prompted performers to get cosmetic surgery and professional grooming to hide imperfections that are not visible on other video formats. Other adaptations have been different camera angles and techniques for close-ups and lighting.[19]
In the UK, attitudes to censorship became more relaxed. It is today not illegal to make or to perform in pornographic films in the UK. Films with sexually explicit content have been shown on national TV, starting in 2005, when Lars von Trier's The Idiots (1998) was shown on British television's Channel 4, uncensored in spite of the explicit scenes described above.
In the early 2000s, Eon McKai was one of the filmmakers who spearheaded the alt porn subgenre.
The global pornographic film industry is dominated by the United States, with the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California being the heart of the industry.[20] This being the case, most figures on the size of the industry refer solely to the U.S.
In 1975 the total retail value of all the hardcore pornography in the U.S. was estimated at $5–10 million.[21] The 1979 Revision of the Federal Criminal Code stated that "in Los Angeles alone, the porno business does $100 million a year in gross retain volume".According to the 1986 Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, American adult entertainment industry has grown considerably over the past thirty years by continually changing and expanding to appeal to new markets, though the production is considered to be low-profile and clandestine.[22]
The total current income of the country's adult entertainment is often rated at $10–13 billion, of which $4–6 billion are legal. The figure is often credited to a study by Forrester Research and was lowered in 1998.[23] In 2007 The Observer newspaper also gave a figure of $13 billion.[24] Other sources, quoted by Forbes (Adams Media Research, Veronis Suhler Communications Industry Report, and IVD), even taking into consideration all possible means (video networks and pay-per-view movies on cable and satellite, web sites, in-room hotel movies, phone sex, sex toys, and magazines) mention the $2.6–3.9 billion figure (without the cellphone component). USA Today claimed in 2003 that websites such as Danni's Hard Drive and Cybererotica.com generated $2 billion in revenue in that year, which was allegedly about 10% of the overall domestic porn market at the time.[25] The adult movies income (from sale and rent) was once estimated by AVN Publications at $4.3 billion but the figure obtaining is unclear. According to the 2001 Forbes data the annual income distribution is:
|Adult Video
|$500 million to $1.8 billion
|$1 billion
|$1 billion
|$128 million
|$30 million[26]
The Online Journalism Review, published by the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California, weighed in with an analysis that favored Forbes' number. The financial extent of adult films, distributed in hotels, is hard to estimate—hotels keep statistics to themselves or do not keep them at all.[27] A CBS News investigation in November 2003 claimed that 50% of guests at the Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Sheraton, and Holiday Inn hotel chains purchased adult movies, contributing to 70% of in-room profits. The income of cellphone porn is low, when compared with other countries. The absence of V-chip-style parental controls largely has kept American consumers from using cellphones to access explicit content.
The world's largest adult movie studio Vivid Entertainment generates an estimated $100 million a year in revenue, distributing 60 films annually[28] and selling them in video stores, hotel rooms, on cable systems, and on the internet. Spanish-based studio Private Media Group is listed on the NASDAQ. Video rentals soared from just under 80 million in 1985 to a half-billion by 1993.[29] Some subsidiaries of major corporations are the largest pornography sellers, like News Corporation's Direct TV. Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, once pulled in $50 million from adult programming. Revenues of companies such as Playboy and Hustler were small by comparison.[30]
Arguably the first 'pornstar' to become a household name was Linda Lovelace from the United States, who starred in the 1972 feature Deep Throat. However, Casey Donovan, star of the first mainstream pornographic hit Boys in the Sand in 1971,[31] achieved name recognition nearly a year before Deep Throat debuted. The success of Deep Throat, which grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, spawned a slew of other films and pornographic film stars such as Marilyn Chambers (Behind the Green Door), Gloria Leonard (The Opening of Misty Beethoven), Georgina Spelvin (The Devil in Miss Jones), and Bambi Woods (Debbie Does Dallas). Other well-known performers from the '70s and early '80s included John Holmes, Ginger Lynn Allen, Veronica Hart, Nina Hartley and Amber Lynn.
Attempts were made in the 1970s to outlaw pornography in the United States by prosecuting porn stars for prostitution. The courts in California were where the case was initially made, and stopped short of advancing the case to the United States Supreme Court for a final decision. It was this decision and acceptance to let stand whereby the California Court made a legal distinction in the case of People v. Freeman between someone who took part in a sexual relationship for money (prostitution) versus someone who takes on the act of merely portraying role where a sexual relationship was engaged in on-screen act as part of their acting performance. It is this specific legal distinction between pornography and prostitution in California law that has allowed California to become the porn center of the United States.
The primary focus of heterosexual sex films are the women in them, who are mostly selected for their on-screen appearance. Most male performers in heterosexual pornography are generally selected less for their looks than for their sexual prowess, namely their ability to do three things: achieve an erection while on a busy film set, maintain that erection while performing on camera, and then ejaculate on cue.[32]
Most male performers in straight porn are paid less than their female counterparts. Ron Jeremy has commented on the pay gap between women and men in the sex film industry: "The average guy gets $300 to $400 a scene, or $100 to $200 if he's new. A woman makes $100,000 to $250,000 at the end of the year. "[33] and "Girls can easily make 100K-250K per year, plus stuff on the side like strip shows and appearances. The average guy makes $40,000 a year."[34]
Current pornographic movies can be divided into a number of sub-genres by the sex of the performers, the types of sex act portrayed, and the intended audience.
In the 1980s, an outbreak of HIV led to a number of deaths of erotic actors and actresses, including John Holmes, Wade Nichols, Marc Stevens, Al Parker and Lisa De Leeuw. This led to the creation of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, which helped set up a system in the U.S. adult film industry where erotic actors are tested for HIV every 30 days.
In many countries pornography is legal to distribute and to produce however there are some restrictions. Pornography is also banned in some countries, in particular in the Muslim world, but can be accessed through the internet.

Holmes will direct the Department's work on education innovation, including the state's work with the Global Education Leadership Program, an international program designed for education leaders from around the world. Also, Holmes will oversee the Department's role in exploring and fostering expanded learning opportunities to meet the growing need to customize education in ways that go beyond traditional settings and means.
"To be successful in this critical role, we needed a visionary leader who can spark progress in engaging students in new, more meaningful ways," Commissioner Robert Hammond said. With Ms. Holmes, we found a leader who understands innovation. We're thrilled she's joining our team."
Holmes currently serves as CEO of KIPP Colorado Schools, a charter management organization with three public charter schools, providing college-preparatory education for more than 1,000 low-income Denver students.
Before her tenure at KIPP, Holmes was a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting providing change management and large-scale project management work for a variety of clients. Prior to joining Deloitte, she was a fellow/program director at El Pomar Foundation where she gained experience working with small, rural communities outside of Denver. She has also served as a Fellowship Alumni Trustee for El Pomar Foundation and has supported other Colorado education organizations as a board member and consultant. Holmes began her career in education as a seventh- and eighth- grade teacher.
Holmes earned her bachelor's degree in history from Yale University. She went on to earn a master's in business administration at Harvard Business School. She will begin her duties at the Colorado Department of Education in mid March.

Brilliant. Amazing acting and directing. Not the typical sci fi flick; makes you think. Beautifully shot.
Excellent film. All the people who gave this a bad review should stick with Rom Coms.
Going to watch the movie again today. :)
I can't wait to go later.
i watched twice already, and I love it.
great movie!!
Negative reviews are done by the same person. This is why the media is so vulnerable to scams.
For example the dog and the alcohol was mentioned before. Same user. The robots woman and sex too.
The sleeping business during the movie.
In my opinion the movie was good but too long. 1 1/2 movie time would be a much better than two hours.
The movie was good.
The movie was much longer than it had to be. Jared Leto was annoying. There is a semi love story in here that was also boring and unnecessary. Visually the movie was beautiful and the main actors were very good but it was way too long and and the script was unclear and confusing. Once again only movie critics will like this movie.
Is Hollywood getting lazy or do they think that the general public are dumb? Either way, this movie was not entertaining at all and could have been much, much shorter than it was. It lacked a clear story line and plot. Save your money.
This movie is sexist. After we as a society started to condemn the objectification of women Villeneuve, Ridley Scott and Warner Bros decided that it's OK for male robots to treat female robots like hookers. And all this is done in a very long and painful way with the clear objective to hurt viewers even more. This kind of movies belong to the trash can of Hollywood.

In today's Chronicle business section, I've got a column that speculates on the possibility of a spun-off HP personal computer business being based in Houston.
HP has not made a decision whether to keep its Personal Systems Group or turn it into a separate company. But as I wrote, basing the $40 billion PC business at the HP campus on Texas 249 makes some sense, because most of the PSG operation is already there:
While the operations at the Houston campus aren't as populous as Compaq in its heyday, a significant part of HP's PC work grinds away there. HP wasn't able to supply firm numbers on how many employees work there, but the Houston campus is the largest single HP site in the world.
The company's notebook and desktop design groups are in Houston, as are the marketing and sales divisions. There's also substantial testing, research and development work. Although desktop and notebook manufacturing long ago relocated to Asian factories, high-end servers are still built at the Houston site. PR Manager Mike Hockey estimated that 70 percent of the Personal Systems Group is in Houston.
None of the HP employees I spoke with during a tour of the Houston campus on Tuesday would comment about this possibility, but they're clearly intrigued by the idea. Certainly, those who were working for Compaq when it was acquired by HP would relish the chance to see a rebirth.
When then-CEO Leo Apotheker announced last month that HP was considering jettisoning the Personal Systems Group, the obvious joke spotted in social media, blog comments and forums had this punch line: ". . . and they should call it Compaq."
Even Michael Dell suggested it, in a snarky fashion.
I don't think that's particularly funny. I actually think that's a really good idea, regardless of where the new business ends up being based.
When it was acquired, Compaq had a lot of brand equity. In fact, HP kept the brand alive, and it exists today. You can still buy Compaq desktops and notebooks for both home and business use. And HP still uses the Proliant sub-brand, long synonymous with Compaq, for its server line. HP clearly thinks there's value in the name.
A spun-off HP PC business bearing the Compaq moniker would have a leg up in the marketplace, with instant brand awareness among consumers. The respawning of a company also would be a great backstory for corporate and marketing messaging.
And to hammer home that this remains the company that built HP's quality PCs, the systems it sold could continue to carry the HP sub-brands.
"Compaq Pavilion" has a certain ring to it, don't you think?
Of course, HP could also spend a few million dollars paying an overpriced consulting firm to come up with a nonsensical, made-up name for the new company. But why bother?
Hey, Meg Whitman! Save some cash, take Michael Dell's expert advice and call it Compaq.

Difference between revisions of "Kalundborg"
Latest revision as of 21:55, 5 August 2015
Kalundborg is situated on western Zealand inside Kalundborg Fjord between the two peninsulas Røsnæs and Asnæs. The town has around 17,000 inhabitants.
You might come here for the medieval city remains, for the spectacular nature of Røsnæs or because Kalundborg could be on your way from Copenhagen via Samsø to Aarhus.
Kalundborg was established in 1170 by Esbern Snare who built the West Castle (only ruins remain) just west of the medieval High Town. During the 13th century, the five-spired Church of Our Lady as well as the medieval High Town were established. The town was important during the next couple of centuries as significant part of the Danish central administration was moved to here. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Down Town was established at the location of the present day major shopping and commercial street, Kordilgade.
Get in[edit]
By train[edit]
Kalundborg is the terminal station on the Western Zealand train line. The train from Copenhagen leaves approximately once an hour, is 1h30 to 1h50 and costs DKK120.

The High Town[edit]
The High Town (Højbyen) was the fortified medieval town, which bounderies can still be recognised even though the wall is not there anymore. Some buildings dating back from the 16th century are still there. Most of the town's historical cites can be found here.
Røsnæs is a 15km long peninsula stretching west from Kalundborg. It was shaped by the movement of glaciers during the Ice Age some 15-20,000 years ago.

This month, I have been posting a series of essays about how parents can deal with potentially objectionable online content or contacts to coincide with "National Internet Safety Month." (Here are parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). In this series, I have been talking about how parents need to adopt a "layered†approach to online child protection that involves many tools and strategies. And such an approach is certainly needed to address social networking activities.
Social networking websites have become wildly popular with teenagers in recent years. Sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Xanga, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, Tagged, Imbee, LiveJournal, Yahoo! 360, and Windows Live Spaces attract millions of users and represent just a few of the hundreds of social networking sites online today. These sites offer their users the space and tools to build the equivalent of an online journal and then to network with others more easily. New sites are seemingly surfacing every week, and they are growing more personalized in an attempt to appeal to specific niches.
But concerns about how youngsters use these services quickly prompted lawmakers to introduce legislation to ban access to such sites in schools and libraries. Others, including several state attorneys general, want such sites to age-verify all users to exclude those over or under a certain age. (I have discussed my reservations with proposals to impose age verification schemes on social networking websites in my PFF white paper, "Social Networking and Age Verification: Many Hard Questions; No Easy Solutions.â€)
What parents need to understand about social networking websites is that, unlike other "professional†websites, social networking sites feature a great deal of "amateur†user-generated content. This makes it more difficult for filters or other parental control tools to screen out potentially undesirable material. Luckily, most mainstream social networking sites take steps to pre-screen many of the images that are uploaded to their sites and block objectionable material. But it will be impossible for these website operators to control everything that is said or posted on these sites in light of the sheer volume of material and human communication taking place.
Thus, parents will need to consider additional solutions. Monitoring software could certainly be part of the answer. Many monitoring tools, discussed in Part 2 of this series, give parents a clear idea of how much time their kids spend online, the specific sites they are visiting, and with whom they are conversing. MySpace.com recently announced that it would soon make sophisticated monitoring software available to parents that will allow them to keep better tabs on their kids' online interactions. The software, dubbed Zephyr, will let parents see the name, age, and location that children are listing on their MySpace accounts. It will update parents if their children change that information for any reason. For privacy reasons, however, the software will not let parents read their child's personal e-mail. Parents can also tap tools such as IM Safer, which was described earlier, to monitor potentially inappropriate release of information by their children.
Parents of pre-teens should be careful about letting them go on social networking sites unattended. But there are some smaller social networking sites such as ZoeysRoom.com, Imbee.com, ClubPenguin.com, and Tweenland.com that have extremely strict enlistment policies, primarily because they target or allow younger users. These sites are discussed in more detail in the section on age verification in Part V.
Additional tips for parents about social networking sites can be found in a very accessible booklet, MySpace Unraveled: A Parent's Guide to Teen Social Networking, by Larry Magid and Anne Collier. Also, the Federal Trade Commission's OnGuardOnline.gov website offers "Social Networking Safety Tips for Tweens and Teens†as well as "A Parent's Guide†to social networking sites. And the Federal Bureau of Investigation offers "A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety†on its website offering similar advice. MySpace.com also offers safety tips for kids and parents on its site.
Finally, as will be outlined in the last essay in this series, parents should discuss proper online etiquette with their children before they allow them to get online or visit social networking sites. In particular, kids need to be encouraged to follow some other sensible rules while using the Internet and other interactive technologies:
* Treat others you meet online with the same respect that you would accord them in person;
* Do not cyber-bully or harass your peers;
* Do not post negative comments about your teachers or principals online;
* Do not post or share inappropriate pictures of yourself or others;
* Avoid talking to strangers online;
* Avoid using lewd or obscene language online or in communications;
* Do not share your personal information with unknown parties; and,
* Talk to parents and educators about serious online concerns and report dangerous situations or harassing communications to them.
[Part 9 of this series will discuss online child safety and law enforcement efforts.]

Sarah Silverman, the comic and comedienne, has posted her 2012 unsold NBC pilot, "Susan: 313," online for the world to see. (Warning: Some expletives are used in a postscript to Silverman's intro to the show.) It's up on the YouTube channel Jash, self-described as "a comedy network made up of the world's top comedians: Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim and Eric, and Reggie Watts."
"Failed pilot" is the phrase typically used to refer to these castoffs, raised with some care only to be made a footnote in a welter of intersecting careers. It's the phrase Silverman herself uses in an introductory video.
And "failed" might at times fairly describe them -- how many times, how would we know? -- but it is a harsh term. It reflexively blames the work for what might well be other failures -- failures of corporate nerve or imagination, failed executive decisions, and in this case certainly a failure to see that a Silverman sitcom might be temperamentally unsuited to network broadcast television. (Her brilliant and impolitic Comedy Central series "The Sarah Silverman Program" should have offered a clue.)
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
Indeed, the pilot itself seems to be a kind of purposeful meditation on this unlikely relationship. It opens conventionally, with a prodigal's return. Sarah, as Susan Farrow, an erstwhile singer-songwriter who once had a low spot on the bill at Lilith Fair, has come back to an apartment she has kept but not inhabited for a decade, after a split with a rich producer boyfriend (Jeff Goldblum, it will transpire). She will meet some new friends (Tig Notaro, Harris Wittels, Ken Leung) and reconnect with an old one (June Raphael), and it will end, classically, with a lot of people in a kitchen.
At first, Silverman seems to be doing an impersonation of a cutesy, semi-helpless sitcom heroine, and one doesn't quite know what to make of her or the show; things feel a little out of joint. And then, after Susan has reentered her apartment and found that not only is her water off but that she has no idea how to turn it on -- her survival skills have "atrophied" in the course of a coddled life -- we find ourselves in a dank, stony room, where Silverman (as Susan, but also, effectively, as herself) is watching this scene with a focus group. (Possibly we are in her mind, but whatever.)
"Wow, really intense stuff, huh?" she says, in the mock-serious, ironically self-approving voice familiar from her comedy and her previous series, and things begin to make a different kind of sense. "I mean, we're looking at a woman who entered a relationship strong and independent.... And, sure, she still has moxie and sure she still has great skin but she grieves, she grieves for the loss of youth, and perhaps even greater she grieves for the loss of her very sense of self. "
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
She opens the floor for comments and questions. Possibly they were lifted from experience.
Man: "My question is, what the hell is this? I mean what is this whole thing?"
Woman: "I don't think you're likable."
Clearly, there would have been some kinks to work out -- the tonal variations are a bit of a challenge -- but had this come to me as the first of an actually scheduled series, I would have greeted it happily, with reservations but also with interest. It isn't good TV business, of course, but I'd always rather see a risky mess than a conservative success. Whatever else it has, or lacks, "Susan: 313" has a voice of its own. And it's often funny. Weird, hard to read at times. But not a failure.
Silverman is sanguine about the whole thing: "This isn't, 'Like can you believe they didn't pick this up?' This isn't that kind of posting," she says in her introduction. "It's like, 'They probably did the right thing. But we liked the show.'... This is what it is.... It's this."

Apple's numbers didn't surpass the high bar set by roughly 50 securities analysts who follow the company's stock - it's another reminder of how difficult it can be for even the most prosperous companies to please Wall Street quarter after quarter.
SAN FRANCISCO — Call it the curse of great expectations.
Apple did just about everything right in its latest quarter. The company increased its profit by more than 50 percent and boosted revenue by nearly 40 percent over the same quarter last year.
It was the second best three-month period ever posted by the revered maker of the iPhone, iPad and iPod. Even more impressively, Apple pulled it off against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and fears of another recession. But by the sometimes absurd logic of Wall Street, it was a disaster.
Apple Inc.'s shareholders awoke on Wednesday morning to headlines like "Apple Loses Some of Its Shine" and then proceeded to lose about $22 billion on paper, as their stock dropped by more than 5 percent —all because Apple failed to manage the analyst expectations that can make or break a stock.
Apple's numbers didn't surpass the high bar set by roughly 50 securities analysts who follow the company's stock. It's another reminder of how difficult it can be for even the most prosperous companies to please Wall Street quarter after quarter.
"It's a rough game," said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis. "Apple has been so well for so long that it has gotten itself into a position where it has to set a new (earnings) record every quarter. Now, some of the momentum has been broken."
The backlash to Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter report, released lateOct. 18, could very well turn out to be a gross overreaction. If so, this is a prime buying opportunity for investors willing to go against grain.
Apple suggested as much as by issuing a jolly outlook for the current quarter, which includes the holiday shopping season. The projections call for earnings and revenue above analyst estimates, an anomaly for a company that makes a habit of lowballing its quarterly predictions. Analysts have caught on to Apple's tactics, so they deliberately set their estimates above the company's forecast. Gillis' rule of thumb, for instance, is to expect Apple's quarterly revenue to be about 20 percent above the company's publicly stated target and for earnings to be about 40 percent higher.
The Oct. 5 death of Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs throws a new twist into the equation.
Now that Tim Cook is chief executive, analysts must now figure out whether the rules of Apple's expectations game have changed. ISI analyst Brian Marshall thinks that's unlikely because Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer for the past seven years, remains in charge of the numbers. What's more, Cook has promised not to mess with the "magic" that has increased Apple's market value by nearly $300 billion during the past decade and established it as technology's most valuable company.
Trying to figure out how much money a company is going to make every three months is a little like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Most major companies provide some guidance to help analysts because it helps keep their stock prices relatively stable. Big drops, in particular, are unwelcome because they can raise anxiety among customers and business partners. For technology companies that offer employees stock in lieu of lavish salaries, those dips can affect morale.
Some companies, though, refuse to dance to Wall Street's tune. Internet search leader Google Inc., for instance, has never provided guidance during any of its 29 quarters as a publicly held company because founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't want business decisions to be influenced by a short-sighted number determined by a group of outsiders.
This refusal has been a bit of a double-edged sword for Google. The company has exceeded analyst estimates in most quarters, helping to boost its stock price after the quarterly numbers, but there have been a handful of letdowns that might have been avoided if management had been more transparent.
Apple's big mistake in its latest quarter centered on the impact the Phone 4S — already a hit in the current quarter— would have on its revenue in the just-completed quarter. As word got out that the next generation of the iPhone would be hitting the market in the fall, more shoppers decided to hold off on buying the version already in the stores during the summer.
The result: Apple sold 17.1 million iPhones from July through September, below the 20 million units that analysts had factored into their projections. That left the company, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., with earnings per share of $7.07 on revenue of $28.3 billion instead of the earnings per share of $7.28 per share on revenue of $29.4 billion projected by analysts.
Missing the mark inevitably led to some second guessing, particularly now that Jobs is no longer around. Cook had been running Apple since Jobs went on medical leave in January, but he didn't take the CEO job until Aug. 24 with about five weeks left in the company's fiscal fourth quarter.
Apple could have avoided the problem that caused the quarterly earnings miss by releasing the iPhone 4 in the middle of the reporting period, Gillis said. That's a strategy that Jobs had sometimes adopted when Apple was preparing to release a hotly anticipated device that threatened to cannibalize sale of an earlier product.
If the iPhone 4S had been in stores just during the final week of September, the sales would have been enough for Apple to meet analyst expectations. That's based on Apple's sales of 4 million units of the iPhone 4S since its Oct. 14 release.
"The lesson to be learned here is to be careful when you have a new product coming out," Marshall said. "Even in a tough economy, people still want the latest and greatest device and they are willing to keep some money in their back pocket to buy it."
Marshall, by the way, expects Apple to more than make up for its shortfall in the latest quarter: he foresees nearly 27 million iPhones being sold in the current quarter and expects the company's stock price to hit $500 within the next year.
Apple closed Monday at $405.50.

Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. The prolactin test measures the amount of prolactin in the blood.
Alternative Names
How the test is performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see:
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that stimulates breast development and milk production in women. There is no known normal functionfor prolactin in men.
Prolactin is usually measured when checking for pituitary tumors and the cause of:
- Breast milk production that is not related to childbirth (galactorrhea)
- Decreased sex drive (libido) in men and women
- Impotence
- Irregular or no menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
Normal Values
The normal values for prolactin are:
- Males: 2 - 18 ng/mL
- Nonpregnant females: 2 - 29 ng/mL
- Pregnant women: 10 - 209 ng/mL
The examples aboveare common measurements for results for these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some lab use different measurements or may test different specimens.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Note: ng/mL = nanograms per milliliter
What abnormal results mean
People with the following conditions may have high prolactin levels:
- Chest wall trauma or irritation
- Hypothalamic disease
- Kidney disease
- Pituitary tumor that makes prolactin (prolactinoma)
- Other pituitary tumors and diseases
Certain medications can also raise prolactin levels, including:
- Antidepressants
- Butyrophenones
- Estrogens
- H2 blockers
- Methyldopa
- Metoclopramide
- Phenothiazines
- Reserpine
- Risperidone
- Verapamil
If your prolactin levels are high, the test may be repeated in the early morning after an 8-hour fast.
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Special considerations
The following can temporarily increase prolactin levels:
- Emotional or physical stress (occasionally)
- High-protein meals
- Intense breast stimulation
- Recent breast exam
- Recent exercise

Though the record of the Lipscomb men's tennis team (2-9) might indicate that they have gotten off to a slow start this season, on an individual basis this is not necessarily true.
One example is David Carrillo, a sophomore from Abilene, Texas. Carrillo's record stands at 7-3 with his last win clinching the match against Creighton for the Bisons.
Carrillo is a Biology major who enjoys reading and playing the saxophone and guitar in his spare time. After college he plans to "attend medical school, marry a beautiful woman and begin a career specializing in some area of medicine."
Carrillo did not begin playing tennis until the age of 15.
"I chose tennis because I was too short to play anything else," Carrillo said.
Even with the late start, he was almost immediately successful, winning the 2003 Most Valuable Player Award for Cooper High School and several sportsmanship awards, among other honors.
"I consider my biggest accomplishment to be receiving the opportunity to play Division I tennis, especially after I got such a late start," Carrillo said.
Perhaps one reason Carrillo is playing at the level he is today is because of the direction of a man named Jimmy Cole, who was his first private instructor.
"He was like a second dad," Carrillo said.
Another person who has had a particular influence on him is pro-player Marat Safin.
"I try to model my game after Marat Safin," Carrillo said. "He has a power-type game and hits everything hard."
Carrillo believes that the keys to his success this season have been his speed and consistency.
"I have been more successful at keeping the ball in play and not making many mistakes," Carrillo said.
His doubles partner Colten Jones agreed.
"David's game is more consistent this year," Jones said. "He's the kind of guy that likes to `grip it and rip it,' but I think this year he is choosing his moments a little more carefully, which has made him a better player.
"Also I think David is simply a smarter player than he was last year. When you play smart, you play more consistently. It gives the team a lot of confidence to know that we can plug David in at number five or number six and have a really good shot at winning that match. When you are a deep team like we are without a real `stud,' it is important to win at the number four, five and six spots. Not to say that we never win up top, because we have, but depth is certainly our strength."
In addition, Carrillo has an excellent serve and forehand which have contributed to his success.
Andrew Harris said, "Certainly the difference between David this year and last year is his forehand. He has really started to develop his forehand into a weapon which has been a great asset to him this season."
Carrillo's coach Lynn Griffith shared similar thoughts.
"David has had a good season thus far for these reasons," Grifith said. "His forehand is `pure smoke.' He can hit winners from just about anywhere in the court. If he has a weakness in his forehand, it is that it is so good sometimes he rushes to end the point. Also, he has a `bulldog' attitude. He is a fighter on the court. The rest of his game is good, but with his forehand and his bulldog attitude, he is doing great."
Jones said, "David's strengths are his serve and his forehand. He can really pop his serve when it gets going, and his forehand is also dangerous when he is focused. He is not afraid to go for the kill early in the point, so that definitely makes him tough to beat when he is playing well."
Carrillo attributes much of his success to learning from teammates Jones and Mike Sherman.
"Their consistent style of play wins matches," Carrillo said. " So I try to model my game in a similar manner to be successful."
In addition to his success on the tennis court, Carrillo works hard in the classroom. He was named an Athletic Scholar as a freshman and hopes to earn the honor again this year.
Perhaps even more meaningful than all of his accomplishments on the tennis court is an observation his coach made.
"David is a good person as well as a good player," Griffith said. "I know he has a good heart. He loved participating in the tennis clinic we did for the YES kids in the fall. Also he always answers `yes sir' and `no sir.' He does have some parts of his game that he needs to improve on. I hope to see him improve his game, graduate and become a productive part of society."

Although its economy is mired in a deep trough, Southeast Michigan is the "best buy-side story" in U.S. commercial real estate investing today, if you believe the market is poised for a rebound, says Steven Chaben, regional manager of the Detroit office of Marcus & Millichap. Agraduate of Wayne State University and the Detroit College of Law who has spent his entire 25-year business career in the local market, Chaben knows a good deal when he sees one.
"We tell buyers that pricing has adjusted [downward] a lot, and that you are probably making better buys today than at anytime in the last 20 years," says Chaben. How attractive are initial yields? Well, Marcus & Millichap reports that metro Detroit office properties traded at an average capitalization rate of 10.7% during the first three quarters of 2008, up from 8.3% during the same period in 2007.
The average cap rate locally on apartment sales has climbed 80 basis points over the past year to reach 8.4%. That's despite a drop of 40 basis points in the vacancy rate over the past year to 6.2%. By comparison, the average vacancy rate nationally is 6.1%, according to research firm Reis. Local apartment owners have benefited by limited new supply and a spate of home foreclosures as displaced homeowners turn to the rental market.
While Detroit's apartment vacancy rate is expected to rise 30 basis points by year's end amid a weakening job market and net out-migration trends, the local apartment fundamentals are solid by any measure. Even so, many lenders give the market a cold shoulder, says Chaben. "A lender will get a better debt-coverage ratio here than he'll get anywhere, and yet he's shying away from here like he's got the plague."
The latest economic forecast from The University of Michigan offers lenders little comfort. Over the next two years, Michigan is expected to shed 132,000 jobs, most of them in manufacturing, pushing the unemployment rate above 10%. Of the 77,000 projected job cuts in manufacturing over the next two years, most will be in the auto industry. The report projects that the state economy will experience modest job gains in 2011.
Uncertainty over the result of last month's request by the Big Three automakers for a $25 billion bridge loan from the federal government has led many office tenants — even non-automotive ones — to delay decisions regarding their space needs, says Todd Pardon, senior vice president of Southfield, Mich.-based Redico, a prominent office owner and diversified developer. "Up to that point, we were just humming along. We've completed 4.2 million sq. ft. of leasing transactions in this market this year."
In November, the CEOs of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler testified on Capitol Hill. After two intense days, lawmakers instructed the auto execs to come back in December with a business plan detailing how the money would be spent.
Chaben can't help but notice how much tougher lawmakers are on the auto executives than they have been on banking institutions seeking financial assistance to stay afloat. In November, the U.S. Treasury agreed to make a $20 billion investment in Citigroup. That hefty sum follows the $25 billion the federal government injected into the bank as part of the $700 billion bailout package passed by Congress in October.
There were no hearings to consider Citigroup's plight, or cries for the bank to offer a business plan, says Chaben. "I would suggest to you that is a great example of the double standard that runs so rampant." The anti-Detroit bias has Chaben muttering to himself that famous line from the movie "Network": "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore."
The question is how can Detroit diversify its economy? There is no silver bullet, but Oakland County, home to Chrysler's world headquarters, may have one answer. The county's Emerging Sectors program has identified the top 10 growth sectors — ranging from alternative energy and power generation to robotics to medical devices — and targeted the top companies in those sectors to expand their business in the county. Over four years, the program has led to $1 billion in new investment.
"The survival of the area depends on the transfer of technology," says Pardon of Redico. "Michigan has a lot of technological capability stemming from its automotive uses, and I think over time we'll be accessing those resources."
That brings us back to Chaben, the broker who believes the wheels are being set in motion for future business growth and prosperity in Southeast Michigan. His advice to propertybuyers: "Get in now while you can still get deals at a 10 cap."

With production set to begin on Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes at the end of the month, Francesca Gregorini is busy finding the supporting cast. For the followup to her debut Tanner Hall, which she co-wrote and co-directed with Tatiana von Furstenberg, the writer-director has just landed four actors to help bring the story of a doll babysitter to life. Yes, a babysitter for a doll. Interested?
Already cast in the film are Jessica Biel in the role of Linda and Kaya Scodelario as the titular Emanuel. The story follows Emanuel, a troubled teenager who agrees to 'babysit' her neighbor Linda's baby, which is actually just life-like doll. Over time, Emanuel and Linda become closer, the latter being a spitting image of the former's deceased mother. Variety reports that joining the two actresses in the quirky film are Alfred Molina, Frances O'Connor, Jimmi Simpson and relative newcomer Aneurin Barnard. Molina will play Emanuel's father and O'Connor her stepmother, while Simpson and Barnard play a co-worker and the Emanuel's love interest, respectively.
While the story sounds a little reminiscent of Lars and the Real Girl, Variety also caught up with the director who said that the Ryan Gosling-led film "is an easy comparison, but it [EatTAF] veers away from that tonally… I consider it a psychological drama-thriller, with comedic elements." I'm not exactly sure how the plot description fits into the 'psychological thriller' genre but, with this excellent cast, I'm excited to find out. Molina and O'Connor are both seasoned veterans. Jimmi Simpson is a true chameleon, amazingly funny on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and yet delicate and tortured in Zodiac. As for Aneurin Barnard, you can catch him in Ironclad on VOD and judge for yourself. Overall, a really excellent cast taking shape for what sounds like an interesting independent film.
