Audiences are being invited to 'come to the Cabaret' with Blackpool Opera House's latest musical theatre offering.
Directed by National Theatre artistic director Rufus Norris, this landmark production begins in pre-Second World War Berlin, following aspiring writer Cliff as he gets caught up in a world of risqué cabaret dancers and sordidness, among a backdrop of political and social upheaval.
It is a show that has stretched boundaries to huge acclaim on an international scale, winning eight Oscars, seven BAFTAs and 13 Tonys since its Broadway premiere. On its latest national tour, it has continued to evolve and the progression of musical numbers 'Two Ladies' and 'Money Makes The World Go Round' are a real hit, – Olivier Award winner Javier de Frutos' choreography is at once comedic and technically slick.
However, a starker contrast of the reality of Nazi Germany and the escapism of the Kit Kat Club would help in advancing this adaptation even further, especially in act one.
At the very centre of the show are two celebrity names – Will Young as the host and infamous Emcee and former Eternal and Strictly Come Dancing star Louise Redknapp as Sally Bowles. Both have experienced the life of a pop star and stints on reality television, and as such are no strangers to the spotlight.
But it is Young who steals this show, with his interpretation of the exaggerated and larger-than-life character made famous by Joel Grey.
It is clear to see why he was brought back to revive the role following his West End debut and his performances of songs including 'Wilkommen' and 'Tomorrow Belongs To Me' are truly captivating.
However Redknapp, while offering a strong stage presence, does not fit the edgy and raucous persona needed for her character and as such falls short the sensual, yet vulnerable, performance by Liza Minelli, in the 1972 film. Her pretty vocals and perfected dance moves are more suited to a good girl role, rather than the gritty one she is portraying.
The ensemble, nonetheless, remain committed to the highs and lows of the performance, their togetherness and characterisation remaining a highlight of the overall production.

God would have the rulers of the nations know that He is the supreme Ruler. Those who preside over the affairs of nations should realize that there is a King of kings. The man who does not know God as his Father, and Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of the infinite God, can not rule wisely. He who has been placed where he has authority over others should seek the Lord for wisdom, that he may govern wisely the subjects of God's kingdom. An earthly ruler can not exercise authority wisely or set an example that is safe to follow, unless he obtains wisdom from God, who is too wise to err and too good to do injustice to His human subjects.
In the law of the kingdom of the God who rules the sinless inhabitants of heaven are to be found the principles that should lie at the foundation of the laws of earthly governments. The laws of these governments should be in harmony with the law of Jehovah, the standard by which all created beings are to be judged. No man should be forced to act in harmony with human laws that are in direct opposition to the law that God has given.
In the dream of Nebuchadnezzar the true object of government is beautifully represented by the great tree "Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation." Now if God had called a man, or any set of men at Battle Creek to rule in any sense, that representation of the tree shows the only kind of ruling acceptable to Him—a government that protects, restores, relieves, but never savors of oppression. The poor especially are to be kindly treated…. Aid is to be given to the oppressed, and not one soul that bears the image of God is to be placed at the footstool of a human being. The greatest possible kindness and freedom are to be granted to the purchase of the blood of Christ.—
During the night season I was greatly perplexed. I wished to portray the responsibilities of the rulers of the nations and of those who are united with them. The Lord instructed me plainly how to do this. These men are the very ones who need most fully to realize their amenability to God's law, and to obey all His requirements.
I am instructed to point every one standing in a position of responsibility, to the divine law as the basis of all right conduct.
The record of the corruption in our cities cannot be traced by human pen. Political strife, bribery, fraud, are seen on every hand. Men seem determined to rule or ruin. They are ready to ill-treat and even to kill those who will not be ruled by them. Who can doubt but that the evils which existed before the Flood exist today?….
Oh, that those who are rulers of nations would realize the responsibility resting upon them to be representatives of God, to set a right example, to shun the use of intoxicating liquor, that they may never be found off their guard. Judges, lawyers, senators, should give evidence to those who look to them for guidance that they acknowledge themselves to be under the control of a supreme Ruler, even Christ. They are to heed the invitation, "Learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." No man who ignores his obligations to God has succeeded, or can succeed.—
The kings and rulers of the earth, however great their power, are to consider themselves under a Ruler who owns the world. No earthly ruler is to be looked upon as above the Ruler who made the world in six days, and rested on the Seventh-day, sanctifying and blessing it, and giving it to man to be set apart as holy, and observed to the glory of His name. But priests and rulers have set up the first day of the week to be observed by the beings God has made. They compel His creatures to transgress the law of their Creator. Man has set himself above the Lord of heaven, and has turned human beings aside from the observance of the day of God, as their Creator, declared to be kept holy, as a sign between Him and them throughout their generations forever.
We are every one of us to look from finite man to the Omnipotent God, who has the ownership of all to whom He has given life. They are under His government, and when finite rulers make laws that conflict with a plain, "Thus saith the Lord," we are to obey the law of God. Shall man dare to take the place of God, setting aside the laws of the Ruler of the universe, and placing in their stead human enactments? Shall he dare to compel obedience to these human laws?….
Christ has a supreme right to present to the world the law that must be obeyed. Those who transgress this law, however high their position in this world, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.
What is the Sentinel for, but to be the voice of the watchmen on the walls of Zion, to sound the danger signal? We are not to cringe and beg pardon of the world for telling them the truth: we should scorn concealment? Unfurl your colors to meet the cause of men and angels. Let it be understood that Seventh-day Adventists can make no compromise. In your opinions and faith there must not be the least appearance of wavering. The world has a right to know what to expect of us, and will look upon us as dishonest, as hiding our real sentiments and principles out of policy, if we carry even the semblance of being uncommitted till the popular voice has pointed out the safe way. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which Christ said He would send into the world, was to bear an unwavering testimony.
Daniel in Babylon was placed in a most critical and trying position, but while he did the work assigned to him as a statesman, he plainly refused to handle any work that would militate against God. This course provoked discussion, and thus the Lord, through His providence, which is always at work in human affairs, brought Daniel into reasoning relation with the king of Babylon. God had light for Nebuchadnezzar, and through Daniel was presented to the king things foretold in the prophecies against Babylon and other kingdoms.
God's people have been called out of the world, that they may be separated from the world. It is not safe for them to take sides in politics, whatever preference they may have. They are ever to remember that they are one in Christ. God calls upon them to enter their names as under His theocracy. He cannot approve of those who link up with worldlings. We are entirely out of our place when we identify ourselves with party interests. Let us not forget that we are citizens of the kingdom of heaven. We are soldiers of the cross of Christ, and our work is to advance the interests of His kingdom.
God has warned His people not to become absorbed in politics. We cannot bear the sign of God as His commandment-keeping people, if we mingle with the strife of the world. We are not to give our minds to political issues. God's people are walking contrary to His will when they mix up with politics, and those who commence this work in the Southern States reveal that they are not taught and led by God, but by that spirit which creates contention and strife and every evil work. We are subjects of the Lord's kingdom, and we are to work to establish that kingdom in righteousness.
The Lord has been greatly dishonored by His people's catching up the issues that arise in this time of test and trial. His people are to keep free from politics. They are to stand as a separate, peculiar people; the name of God our Ruler is to be in their foreheads, showing to all that He is their sovereign.
Neither you nor any of your brethren had any work to do in arguing or writing or taking any part whatever in politics. God was dishonored by all who acted any part in politics. God has chosen a people who are to proclaim the third angel's message to the world. They are to be a separate and peculiar people in this world of churches who are transgressing His commandments….
The Lord would have His people a separate and peculiar people, bearing the sign and seal of the Sabbath, in preserving the memorial, the seventh day, upon which the Lord rested after His work of Creation….
The redemption of men draws them away from political strife to rest and peace and quietude in God.
In all our great cities there will be a binding up in bundles by the confederacies and unions formed. Man will rule other men and demand much of them. The lives of those who refuse to unite with these unions, will be in peril. Everything is being prepared for the last great work to be done by the One mighty to save and mighty to destroy….
The condition of things before the Flood has been presented to me. The same binding up in unions that exists today existed in Noah's day. But never before have such transactions taken place as are now carried on in the selection of officers to govern the people. Those who occupy the highest positions in governments reveal how little confidence God can place in their rulership.
This is a wonderful age in which we are living. God is beholding the deplorable state of society. He requires those who believe His gospel to come out from the world. "Be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing."
These unions are one of the signs of the last days. Men are binding up in bundles ready to be burned. They may be church members, but while they belong to these unions, they cannot possibly keep the commandments of God; for to belong to these unions means to disregard the entire Decalogue.
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself" (Luke 10:27). These words sum up the whole duty of man. They mean the consecration of the whole being, body, soul, and spirit, to God's service. How can men obey these words, and at the same time pledge themselves to support that which deprives their neighbors of freedom of action? And how can men obey these words, and form combinations that rob the poorer classes of the advantages which justly belong to them, preventing them from buying or selling, except under certain conditions? How plainly the words of God have predicted this condition of things. John writes, "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon…. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" [Revelation 13:11-17].
The forming of these unions is one of Satan's last efforts. God calls upon His people to get out of the cities, isolating themselves from the world. The time will come when they will have to do this. God will care for those who love Him and keep His commandments.1White, Ellen Gould. 1964. MR 165 Vol. 3, [Nos. 162-209], pp. 37-43. Manuscript Releases. Ellen G. White Estate. Web.

Researcher720 wrote:After talking to other researcher's, I think I understand their point of view on Maxwell much better. They effectively say:
1) Maxwell's equations are postulated to hold true. So you can not mathematically verify them. They are stated to be true as the starting postulate.
2) Then, writing the fields E and B in terms of scalar and vector potential functions, phi and A, is postulated to be true (without specifying what the scalar and vector potential functions are) and so you can't mathematically verify Maxwell's equations of the fields in terms of the potential functions.
3) But once you explicitly write the scalar and vector potential functions in terms of the charge density and current density functions, then Maxwell's equations are not mathematically valid, in general. But some of Maxwell's equations may be valid in specific gauges. But not all of Maxwell's equations, for a specific fixed gauge, are mathematically valid at the same time. For example, Gauss's law (electric) is valid in the Coulomb gauge, but that doesn't mean any of the other Maxwell's equations are valid in the Coulomb gauge. And Gauss's Law is not necessarily mathematically valid in other gauges.
It seems a bit convoluted and confusing to me.... On the other hand, for Weber's electrodynamics, we don't have to deal with such issues. Weber is mathematically valid right from the start, assuming only that the energy function for the energy between two charged bodies, is valid. Everything else in Weber's electrodynamics follows from that single function. Seems like a much simpler approach.
I suppose you are wondering why your post has got zero traction when you claim to have discovered some fundamental things about electromagnetic theory, which ought to interest the EU crowd. Well, the reason is that EU supporters on this forum fail to understand that physics is a mathematically based science and not a single one of them understands the first thing about what your post and your website are claiming. Not a single one of them is capable of solving undergraduate problems in electromagnetism.
I know next to nothing about Weber electrodynamics, but from some superficial research it seems that it is discounted because, inter alia, it does not lead to the prediction of electromagnetic waves and the correct speed of light. If that is true, that would indeed be a devastating reason to reject it. Would you care to comment?Researcher720 wrote:For Weber electrodynamics, we don't need to specify a specific gauge.
Gauge freedom falls mathematically and necessarily out of the definitions of the vector magnetic potential and the electric scalar potential. By definition the magnetic field remain unchanged under transformations of the vector potential by addition of the gradient of a scalar function, and the electric field remains unchanged under transformation of the scalar potential by the addition of the time derivative of a scalar function. So the classical theory of electromagnetism has this gauge freedom and is a gauge theory.I understand that in Maxwell's electrodynamics, in order to have Gauss's law mathematically correct when the scalar and vector potential functions are explicitly specified, the Coulomb gauge is used. No need to do this in Weber electrodynamics. Gauge freedom applies to Weber's electrodynamics. No need to specify a gauge.

Yes, of course a mathematical description of reality can support and/or even predict experimental outcome but that's not the point. The point is the theory CAN STILL BE WRONG. Hence 1,400 year errors like Ptomely. Arguing over Maxwell and Weber is like arguing over Shakespeare's grammar. Both meaningless and not worthy of contemplation, which is why no-one is answering, but you just took it as an opportunity to disparage the members here.Higgsy wrote:Who said anything about using the "formulas" to prove the theory? The expressions, such as Maxwell's equations, are a mathematical description of reality. Whether or not they are an accurate description depends on experiment. But you can't understand the description, and therefore the physics, without the maths. The classical theory of electromagnetism is Maxwell's. It's mathematical and relies on vector calculus of fields. Without the maths, you don't understand how electricity and magnetism behave. In the real world.There's nothing wrong with using maths to describe a given phenomena as you may understand it, the problem is when you start putting the cart before the horse and believing the formulas somehow prove your theory to be the one and only arbiter of all things truthful. Unfortunately all you do is chase the rabbit down the hole.
All physics descriptions of reality or Nature are mathematical. Every one.neilwilkes wrote:Firstly, anybody who genuinely believes that physics is all done "with maths" is part of the problem.
There are four equations in Heaviside's modern vector notation. These are entirely equivalent to Maxwell's 20 equations.Getting back to Maxwell - there are many more than 4 equations.
Can you show this mathematically here, or provide a link to a peer reviewed paper in a respectable journal? In any case, in current physics, Maxwell's theory is Lorentz invariant (which it must be to be an accurate description of observed reality), and it is a subset of QED in the limit.Maxwell's original work has been edited & altered, both by Heaviside and even more by Lorentz who literally discarded the entire class of Maxwellian systems that are in disequilibrium. Lorentz revised the Maxwell-Heaviside equations to make them amenable to separation of variables and closed analytical solutions. These are not Maxwell's equations, nor are they the truncation of Maxwell's theory by Heaviside et al
No - you are stretching the analogy too far. Because the theory has similarities with fluid dynamics does not mean that there is a material aether. In fact that idea was discarded in 1905, and there is nothing in Maxwell's theory that demands such a thing.Additionally, Maxwell's electrodynamics is a material fluid flow theory, and it assumes a material ether
Examples? With supporting empirical data?Anything that fluid systems can do, electrodynamics systems can do (at least in theory) because their mathematical models are the same form. So when one cites known examples of fluid driven systems where the energy to run the system is freely furnished by the active environment, analogous electrodynamic systems in active environments - and in disequilibrium exchange with that environment - must also exist in nature.
Can you show why that must be so, using the actual theory rather than hand-waving?Indeed, particle physics requires it and proves it
Show us.These are the systems arbitrarily discarded by Lorentz' symmetrical regauging in every university.
Then you are telling pretty stories, not doing physics.jacmac wrote:Confession : I only got as far as one year of calculus in University.

That's because you are not a physicist.Reading all the above does not instill in me any angst about not going further in mathematics.
I know next to nothing about Weber electrodynamics, .
Yet again you are attacking members without any reason or provocation. Normally that's the resort of someone who has either lost the argument or doesn't have confidence in their own position.

Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world: all knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
Researcher720 wrote:Hi Higgsy, Thanks for your comments. You wrote: Weber "... does not lead to the prediction of electromagnetic waves and the correct speed of light." Yes it does. The "old" or original interpretation of Weber did not include waves. It was an instantaneous action at a distance theory. But when I wrote Weber in terms of "fields", it looks like Maxwell's theory (in symbols). And when I introduced time retardation (following J. P. Wesley's method for introducing time retardation) Weber's theory gives waves with speed c. These are new results of my work, so I don't expect others to know about it all.
The original form of Gauss's law was derived to express the form of the electric field and the static charges that cause it, and so is valid in the Coulomb gauge. But you haven't shown that a dynamic version of Gauss's law, the electric field resulting from electric charges in motion, doesn't follow correctly from the potentials, in other gauges. As far as I can see there is no inconsistency in the Maxwell description using the potential definitions of the fields.You wrote: "By definition the magnetic field remain unchanged under transformations of the vector potential by addition of the gradient of a scalar function, and the electric field remains unchanged under transformation of the scalar potential by the addition of the time derivative of a scalar function. So the classical theory of electromagnetism has this gauge freedom and is a gauge theory." Yes. And that, now, also holds for Weber's electrodynamics. So then why must we specify the Coulomb gauge (in Maxwell) for Gauss's law to be valid? If the gauge choice doesn't change the E field, then Gauss's law should remain valid regardless of the gauge specified. But Gauss's law, in Maxwell, is only valid in the Coulomb gauge.
I haven't worked through your claim here in detail, but Maxwell adds the displacement current to the original definition of Ampere's law, so you have to work with retarded time. Gauge freedom means that you pick a gauge to match the physical problem.And Ampere's Law doesn't hold mathematically. Take the mathematical definition of the vector potential function, A, and put it in left-hand side of Ampere's law
(\nabla x B = \nabla x (\nabla x A))
and you can't get the right hand side of Ampere's law. Is there some other gauge that makes this work, because it doesn't work in the Coulomb gauge. So, picking a gauge may make some of Maxwell's 4 equations mathematically correct (left-hand side equals right-hand side) but doesn't make all 4 Maxwell equations correct.
Fine - can you show that those equations are empirically accurate where Maxwell's theory is not or vice versa?My approach, which is very simple, makes all 4 "corrected" Maxwell's equations correct for the current density and charge density functions.
I'm sorry - you mean the law that describes the force between two current carrying wires? Not in textbooks?You wrote: "As far as I am concerned the problem isn't whether there is gauge freedom in the theory or not, but whether the theory can be shown to be an accurate representation of experimental results, which test Maxwell's theory has passed with flying colours for more than 100 years." Yes, but those same tests also verifies Weber's electrodynamics. Note that Lorentz force law is contained in Weber's force law (as dominate terms). For experiments based physics, note that Ampere's force equation (not Ampere's law of Maxwell equations) was developed **from experimentation** by Ampere. (See Assis's book Ampere's electrodynamics, Graneau's book Ampere-Neumann Electrodynamics of Metals, Graneau's book Newtonian Electrodynamics, Wesley's book Selected Topics In Scientific Physics, and papers in the literature...) Why then isn't Ampere's force law in mainstream physics textbooks? It was developed from experiments... Oh, and Ampere's force law is also in Weber's force law. See http://www.weberelectrodynamics.com/Web ... Force.html
Lorentz force law applies to force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field. The Ampere forvce law refers to the force between two current carrying wires, and of course there can be "longitudinal" forces depending on whether the wires are parallel or not.The typical experiment showing Lorentz force law alone is lacking are the so-called "exploding wire" experiments. This requires a longitudinal force along the current carrying wire to rip apart the wire. But the Lorentz force equation doesn't have a longitudinal force. Ampere's force equation (and hence Weber's force equation) does. There are other experiments that indicate the Lorentz force is not enough to describe all electrodynamics effects.
You have to fix a gauge, because gauge freedom is an inevitable consequence of the potential definitions of the fields. And in this post you say that Weber electrodynamics has gauge freedom, so the same thing must apply.You wrote: "So I ask again, in your attempted derivation of Gauss's law using Maxwell's theory, which gauge are you working in?" I am not working in any particular gauge. I consider Maxwell's equations and potentials and Lorentz force and continuity equation as a single mathematical **system** of equations. Meaning that they **should** all be mathematically consistent with one another. They aren't. Just try (as I know you have) Gauss's law with the E field written in terms of grad Phi and @A/@t . It doesn't hold. Why should it? It was derived only for the electrostatic case (E = -grad Phi) and not for the electrodynamics case. If you want to use the Coulomb gauge, o.k. Then try to get Ampere's law to hold in the same Coulomb gauge. It doesn't work. (It all works with Weber's electrodynamics.)

New VOD from Akimbo
Akimbo Systems has announced video on demand, coming next week, that'll work on your XP or Vista machine. To use the service, you'll simply log on to Akimbo's Web site and download the service. You'll then have access to thousands of videos from a variety of sources, including popular TV networks, the Horror Channel, and the NHL. Unlike the current Akimbo service, where you pay monthly subscription fees to access videos, you'll pay per download with the PC version.
In order to bring the Akimbo service to your PC, the company uses Sonic Solutions Roxio Venue, which allows you to select and manage downloads with ease. And if you're the type who doesn't like waiting, the program also lets you start watching videos while they are still downloading. Any of the video you download from the service can be burned to DVD, through the built-in burning feature included in Roxio Venue.
Although no word has been given on per download fees, lets hope the company brings us high-quality videos at an affordable price.

The importance of pan sizes:
You just made your favorite brownie recipe, which calls for a 9" X 9" pan. If you cook brownies that call for a 9" X 9" pan in a 9" X 13" pan, the batter will be thinly spread across the pan and the brownies will end up more like a cookie. You'll be disappointed in the results. Pan size is a very important part of baking and cooking.
As an example of how to alter some-not all- recipes; if you are making a cake and it calls for a 11 X 4 1/2 X 2 ¾" pan, which by the below chart is 50 square inches, and you don't have such a pan, then you can use the 8 X 1 ½ " round pan as it is the same square inches. Cooking time might have to be adjusted, as a greater surface area would take less time to cook. Pans are measured across the top of the pan between the inside edges.
Square and rectangular pans
7 ¾ X 3 5/8 X 2 ¼"…….28 sq. inches
8 X 8 X 1 ½" ……64 sq. inches
9 X 5 X 2 ¾" ……45 square inches
9 X 9 X 1 ½" …..81 sq. inches
11 X 4 ½ X 2 ¾" …….50 sq. inches
11 X 7 X 1 ½" …..77 sq. inches
13 X 9 X 2" ….117 square inches
15 X 10 X 2"….150 sq. inches
15 ½ X 10 ½ X 1"……163 sq. inches
16 X 5 X 4 " …..80 sq. inches
Round pans
8 X 1 ½"…….50 sq. inches
9 X 1 ½"……..64 square inches
10 X 1 ½"…….79 square inches
Another note regarding cake pans is that the type of pan it is has an effect on the end result. A glass or enamel pan or pans of a dark color will hold more heat and make for a browner crust. If you have these pans, but do not want the darker crust, you can reduce the heat by 25 degrees, but use the same baking time. If you have shiny metal pans, your crust will be thinner and less brown.
Garden Cake
This delicious cake is full of vegetables and we've found it's a favorite. Dense, gooey and delicious!
Serves 12
1/2 cup walnut oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup raw grated carrots
1 cup raw grated zucchini
1/2 cup raw grated beets
1 cup chocolate chips, optional
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 X 13″ pan.
In a large bowl mix the oil, eggs and sugar, beating well with a hand mixer or whisk for 3-4 minutes.
Wash the vegetables well, but there is no need to peel any of them. Grate all the vegetables and set aside. Place the beets in a separate bowl so the other veggies don't turn pink.
In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir into wet ingredients.
Add the shredded carrots, zucchini, beets, chocolate chips and walnuts. Stir until blended and pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

UK Recruiting for Cyber Reserve Force with Offensive Capabilities
British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond has called for the recruitment of hundreds of cyber warriors in the formation of the nation's Cyber Reserve Force which will engage in both offensive as well as defensive operations.
Hammond said the UK will be increasing the budgets for cyber intelligence and surveillance capabilities, including forming a Joint Cyber Reserve apparatus, and recruiting will begin as soon as next month.
"Last year our cyber defenses blocked around 400,000 advanced malicious cyber threats against the government's secure internet alone, so the threat is real," Hammond told delegates at the annual Conservative party conference.
"But simply building cyber defenses is not enough: as in other domains of warfare, we also have to deter. Britain will build a dedicated capability to counterattack in cyberspace and if necessary to strike in cyberspace."
Hammond noted that offensive cyber operations could include attacks designed to disable enemy communications, weapons and other critical military equipment.
"Our commanders can use cyber weapons alongside conventional weapons in future conflicts," he told a reporter from publication the Mail over the weekend.

Supreme Court to Decide Lien Strips in Chapter 7
Last week the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal on whether debtors can strip or eliminate underwater second mortgages in chapter 7. Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy debtors have been able to strip second mortgages and equity lines in chapter 7 for only about the past year based on an appellate court's decision that is binding in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in the GMAC v McNeal decision held that based on prior authority of this circuit, debtors could strip underwater second mortgages and equity lines. (See prior blog posts on McNeal) The 11th Circuit Court opinion is contrary to the rulings in most of the country. The Supreme Court agreed to resolve the conflict in this "McNeal appeal." (This rhymes and sounds good, but actually the appeal is not in this GMAC v McNeal case but in an appeal brought by Bank of America….

Florida Chapter 7 Lien Strip Alive and Well (For now)
I attended the November 8 Bankruptcy View from the Bench Seminar. All of the bankruptcy judges from the Southern District of Florida attended as well as a few other judges from elsewhere in Florida. They provided their annual update and comments on important court cases during the past year. One of the issues discussed was the pending litigation in the GMAC v McNeal case on the stripping off of a wholly unsecured second mortgage in Chapter 7. Bottom line, the current status of McNeal provides binding authority for Florida bankruptcies that would permit the elimination of entirely unsecured second mortgages in Chapter 7, but this binding authority might not last long. Now may be the only time to strip off second mortgages in chapter 7. If you want to get confused, keep reading the next paragraph. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision was previously unpublished, non-binding, but became published so is…

McNeal update: Stripping 2nd mortgage in Chapter 7
I have written previous posts on the McNeal case. On January 18, 2013, Judge Cristol sitting in the Miami bankruptcy division granted a motion to strip a second mortgage in a chapter 7 in a contested case. This is apparently the first motion granted in the Southern District of Florida including Fort Lauderdale bankruptcies where the mortage holder filed and briefed an objection to the motion to value. In re Bertan, 2013 Bankr Lexis 216(Bankr. S. D. FL 2013)(Case No 11-27057).

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. ~Deepak Chopra
My wife and daughter are addicted to jigsaw puzzles, usually the 1,000 to 2,000 piece monstrosities that look like a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes. I must confess I don't have the patience or the desire to sit for hours hunched over a table putting a puzzle together. But they love it and every Christmas holiday a new mega-puzzle appears and takes over the sitting room table.
Whether you like, love or hate mega-puzzles, they do present an excellent analogy to better understand corporate culture.
The Important Pieces?
Which pieces of a jigsaw puzzle are the most important? Or are they all equally important in getting to the finished product?
Naturally, all the pieces are important since an almost finished puzzle with one missing is very unsatisfying. Like a company that makes a good profit, has killer products, and yet employees hate working there. Very unsatisfying.
The good news about those who love jigsaw puzzles is that no one wants to walk away from a 1000 piece almost complete puzzle with one missing. Those who love puzzles are striving for excellence, not "almost complete". Everyone starts looking around, on the floor, under the sofa, in the corner of the box, everywhere to find the missing piece to make the effort worthwhile.
Much of the stress and angst we feel inside companies is the willingness of management and leadership to stop striving for excellence just because goals are met or the profit margin in good. The P&L looks good, but we know the picture isn't complete. Something doesn't feel right. We are missing some of the pieces of excellence. Perhaps it is innovation, perhaps trust and respect. In the case of modern banking, huge profits are made while tolerating overly risky and even unethical behaviour. Success somehow feels hollow and unfulfilling.
Corporate culture, like the mega-puzzle, is made up of many elements; leadership behaviours, customer service behaviours, employee engagement, subcultures, routine work behaviours, trust, accountability. The list goes on.
And they are all important in building and sustaining a successful company. Successful for employees, customers, shareholders, communities, the planet.
But not all the ingredients of corporate culture are equally important at any one given time. Coming back to the jigsaw puzzle analogy, early on the most important ingredients in getting the puzzle started are the edge pieces. The first task of any real puzzle person (not puzzling person) is to get the border finished. Thus finding and fitting the edge pieces becomes the critical task for eventual success. Completing the border gives the puzzle structure, definition, dimension, shape, a boundary within which to work. Later on, the pieces that connect one set of shapes to another become critical to the overall development of the finished picture.
In the early days or years of a company, not all elements of corporate culture are equally important. Obviously the business model is critical, but the less tangible culture elements of purpose, mission, hiring profiles, ambition, training, brand identity, leadership values and behaviours are vitally important in setting in place a strong and sustainable foundation for success. Later, as the company matures, other elements of the culture, such as innovation, respect for diversity, open communication and trust play an important role in sustainability and performance.
What are the critical elements of your corporate culture at this time in your business life-cycle? Sustainable success comes from a strong culture foundation.
Thanks for joining the dialogue.

Everyone has a wiring mess hidden somewhere in their home and sometimes its because power sockets just aren't where you need them to be: something this concept design by Sung-hun Choi is attempting to fix. The Free Lines power strip brings your wiring out from behind the wall
where it rightly belongs and drapes it artfully across your room like an electric ribbon dotted with useful power points. We like its modular design, with clip-together cables and sockets, but have to say its best feature is how fascinatingly awful it is.
I mean, mains electric cables draped in big curves across your walls and floor as a design feature? Maybe if you live in an uber-cool loft, but in your average home it sounds too much like a trip-hazard or something extra for the cats to chew on. Keep them neatly and safely hidden away, that's the ticket: I'm for big ugly old-fashioned socket extensions! [Yanko designs]

Performance is always of paramount concern. So when words and phrases like "clean burning", and "diesel" reverberate off my ear drums I shutter with a little bit of fear. Fortunately, Audi's line of TDI clean diesel vehicles are an exception to the rule, that is assuming you wanna call the above a rule.
The German Automaker made it known today at the 2012 LA Auto Show that a grip of diesel burning models will be making their way to US shores. This will include the Q5, A6, A7, and A8.
The A8 TDI will be the first of the four to make its debut in the US when it hits dealers this Spring, with an estimated 24MPG city and 36MPG highway. Horsepower registers at 240 ponies, which is reported to produce a 0-60 run time of just 6.4 seconds from the diesel V6. I'd expect the same from the A7, and perhaps from the A6, though Audi has yet to disclose those tidbits of what I'd deem very necessary info.
Nevertheless, I sat in the A7 TDI and was astonished by the wood trim, which is also available in the petrol powered version. It's something akin to that of a spa. Take a look for yourself. I'm not sure I've ever witnessed such opulent and carefully crafted wood inlays. That said, I don't know if I would want it in my car since it's a bit much, but there is no disputing the craftsmanship. Now, only if they could achieve a comparable paint job.


text: Water in its many forms has played an important roll in my work going on 20 years. The ebb and flow of the Atlantic along the coast of Massachusetts, the play of light in Aegean Sea, and the canals of Venice Italy, are strong influences in my early work. The meditative quality in the rhythmic push-pull of the waves and the hypnotic dance of light on the surface that moves through tide pools gives me rich subject matter to wrestle with. As I settle into the routines of marriage, home ownership and parenthood my water sources shift to driveway puddles, woodland waterways, and suburban pools — less exotic, but equally fertile subject matter for restless eyes to study.

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Jan 06, 2015
New York: Over the past few years, Tibi has been offering a clean and minimalistic approach with a twist, and for Pre-Fall the designer, Amy Smilovic continued her global journey by turning to the Argentinian gaucho for reference and inspiration. The coziness and warmth of the gaucho uniform was referenced throughout the collection – textural knits paired with asymmetrical wool skirts or loose and cropped trousers, felted blanket fabrics gave texture to skirts and outerwear and nodding to the gaucho's proclivity for neckties, an array of twists and knots decorated dresses, tops and footwear. The lineup featured multiple exquisite feminine details too – rich embroideries and astute folds on skirts, kimono sleeves on outerwear, asymmetric tailoring – and the list goes on. This collection celebrated the symbolism of the Argentinian tradition by fusing all its elements in a modern way – cozy, sharp and very wearable. – Diego Sanchez
Theme: Modern gaucho uniforms with a feminine twist
Key Items: Blanket coat / Asymmetrical skirts / Roomy cropped pants / Textural knitwear / Leather dress / Masculine tailored suit/ Embroidered crop tops / Teddy coat / Knotted shirt
Colour: Deep navy / Black / Sable brown / Oxblood / Dusty pink / Creamy white

What is the Virtual Enterprises International?
The Virtual Enterprise (VE) is a simulated business environment. The VEI employees (i.e. the students) will be involved in actual "on-the-job" work experiences, including purchasing, sales, marketing, accounting, personnel, etc. The only difference between the VE and an actual business is that no material goods are produced or legal tender exchanged. However, in our case, services will be provided. The VE will generate the documents and information needed to do business with other VE's in New York City, other States and abroad. Students will work in one or more of the departments in the VE organization. In their department, they will be expected to work individually and as a member of a team to fulfill the responsibilities and tasks associated with your department. Students will develop initiative, creativity, and responsibility, enhance your oral and written communication skills, and improve their ability to work on a team.
Interview Process:
Who: Students will be interviewing for a position within VEI. Our company name was already decided upon: Mistic. Students will be interviewing for one of the following Vice President positions within Mistic: VP of Finance, VP of Sales and Promotion, VP of Marketing, VP of Administration and VP of HR.
What: I need volunteers to administer the interview questions to the students on September 27th, 28th and possible the 30th. Volunteers will also be assisted in the interview process by one of the Executive level members. Those students who wanted to run for an Executive level position have already interviewed and they have their role. Since they are Executive level they need to be involved in the interview process and they will assist the volunteers who are running the interview. Have the Executive ask at least 1-2 questions off the template and any follow-up questions they may have.
When: September 27th, 28th and possibly the 30th from 1:11 – 2::01. This is 7th period and that's when VEI takes place. Plan on showing up at 12:45 and leaving by 2:30
Why: Students are going to gain real-world experience by interviewing with business professionals such as yourself. The "interview process" has been on-going in class with me observing classroom behavior, business skills and etiquette and how students work in groups. This is the final stage of that interview and it would be more beneficial to them if someone, other than myself, actually interviewed them.
Where: The specific interview location will be West Aurora High School. There will be interview tables set up along the concourse outside of the Auditorium. Five interview tables will be set up and five interviews will be going on at the same time.
The Waubonsie Valley High School Robotics Club is looking for some professional mentors to periodically assist our club in designing and building our robots in preparation for our competition season. We are looking for any mentors that potentially work in the field of robotics directly or the mechanical engineering field.
If your career path or personal interests have a skill set that match the robotics field or mechanical engineering field we would love for you to come and work with our students from time to time based on your availability. We meet Tuesday and Thursday from 230 to 5 at WVHS.
Please contact Matt Ristow, Technology and Engineering Education Department, at if you are interested in helping out. We have an energetic, hard working group of approximately 35 students comprising 7-8 teams of 4-6 team members. Please come out, share your knowledge and have some fun with the students!
Last week, the U.S. Chamber launched a comprehensive effort to mobilize the business community and Main Street economic voters leading up to Election Day. The initiative includes an online toolkit that provides users with the information needed to vote in their states and districts, as well as the opportunity for businesses to engage their employees in the effort. You may have seen The Wall Street Journal article highlighting our voter turnout efforts, which can be accessed here.
The effort features the Vote For Jobs website with state-specific voting information including early voting and absentee ballots. We encourage you also to visit the voter toolkit, which includes sample Get-Out-The-Vote email messages, blog posts, press releases, and more.
The launch is being supported with a new video to remind all Americans of the virtues of free enterprise and the power of our democracy. With your partnership, we are uniquely positioned to engage tens of millions of voters in the final weeks of the election: building upon a century of working together to strengthen our country's economy and future.
House Republicans appointed to Human Trafficking Task Force. The 14-member Task Force has been asked to develop ideas for new State laws and policies to crack down on human trafficking. The Task Force was created by HB 2822 (Jesiel/McConnaughay), which was enacted into law earlier this year as P.A. 99-864. Three House Republican legislators, Sheri Jesiel, Patti Bellock and Barbara Wheeler, served as lead sponsors of the bill and have been appointed to serve on the Task Force.
The new Task Force has been asked to hold hearings and report to the General Assembly on or before June 30, 2017 on ways and means to address the growing problem of human trafficking across Illinois. In addition to lawmakers, the Task Force will include a high-ranking member of the Illinois State Police to be chosen by the Director and a representative of the Chicago Regional Human Trafficking Task Force to be chosen by Gov. Bruce Rauner.
"Human trafficking" is a euphemism used to describe the forced movement or confinement of human beings. Most, but not all, of the victims of human trafficking are girls or women, and most, but not all, are trafficked for purposes of sexual exploitation. The National Human Trafficking Resource Center, which operates a nationwide hotline (1-888-373-7888) to report cases of human trafficking, reports that since 2007 they have received 130,485 reports of human trafficking throughout the United States. Many of these reports are multiple references to single individuals. The Center believes these reports represent 27,775 separate cases of human trafficking involving up to 29,880 victims. In some cases, more than one person is being victimized.
The Center further discloses that 3,646 cases of alleged human trafficking have been reported to it so far this year throughout the U.S., including 94 cases from Illinois.
COGFA tracks continued growth in Illinois video gaming. The Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability (COGFA), the nonpartisan budget-analysis arm of the General Assembly, annually tracks and reports on revenues from Illinois-based wagering activities. Due to changes in law and technology, our gaming industries are shifting in identity. Illinois gaming taxes are deposited into either general funds or into other, earmarked State budget funds, depending on which type of gambling the tax was imposed on.
COGFA's 2016 "Wagering in Illinois" report, released on Monday, September 19, details a continued shift in Illinois gaming activity in FY16 away from other forms of gambling toward video gaming. Video gaming was approved in the Video Gaming Act, enacted in 2009, and the first video gaming machines were approved in 2012. Video gaming is now four years old in Illinois. From every dollar taken in by Illinois in taxes imposed on gambling during the recently-concluded fiscal year, 20.5 cents was paid by the video gaming industry. This was an increase from 16.5% in FY15 and 9.1% in FY14. There are now more than 24,000 licensed video games in operation in more than 5,600 locations throughout Illinois.
Backlog of unpaid bill hits $8.6 billion. The unpaid-bill count, tracked on a day-to-day basis by the office of Comptroller Leslie Munger, hit more than $8.6 billion this week. The red-ink number is closely watched by holders of Illinois debt paper and by international credit rating agencies and firms that rank worldwide debtors by chances of insolvency. For example Moody's, the world's largest credit-rating firm, currently ranks Illinois general obligation debt backed by general funds at Baa2, two ranks above "junk bond" level. Moody's adds that they have a "negative outlook" on Illinois' current Baa2 rating. Analysts at Moody's report that Illinois' "structural budget gap" currently equals at least 15% of Illinois general fund and pension expenditures.
The backlog, counted as of Thursday, September 22, represents more than $8.6 billion in bills payable from Illinois general funds. These bills have either been presented to the Illinois Comptroller for payment, or are known to be waiting in the coffers of various State agencies for presentation and payment. Many of these bills are request for reimbursement to providers of supplies and services to the State and its clients, particularly medical and nursing care provided to Medicaid patients.
The unpaid-bill ledger count reported weekly by Munger's office is likely to continue to fluctuate in future weeks. However, the overall red-ink trend is expected to continue to go upward, based on tax payments to the State continuing to fall short of monies obligated by continuing appropriations, court orders, and consent decrees. Illinois' unpaid-bill debt is only a small fraction of the total debts owed by the Illinois public sector. One estimate indicates that the State of Illinois alone has compiled obligations, including future pension obligations, of more than $45,500 per taxpayer.

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Deval L. Patrick did not voice opposition to the project Wednesday, but he did express concern about a proposed biomass plant in the city that would burn construction and demolition debris, a plant opponents say would emit pollutants such as lead and mercury. Patrick, speaking to reporters during a press round-table discussion at the state office building on Dwight Street, said "biomass has a place in our renewable energy strategy" but that he envisioned fuel sources such as switch grass. "My instinct tells me that burning the stuff that is hauled out of old buildings is problematic," he said. The governor, however, also said he wants to see the results of an assessment ordered last week by Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles of projects such as the Palmer Renewable Energy facility proposed for East Springfield that would generate energy by burning wood chips derived from construction and demolition debris. "Let's get some science. Let's get some understanding of what's really at stake," the governor said. On Friday, Bowles directed Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Laurie Burt to suspend review of permit applications for facilities proposing to use the materials until a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impacts is completed. The Palmer Renewable Energy plant, proposed for 1000 Page Blvd., would cost about $170 million and provide enough power for 23,000 to 30,000 homes. Burt said the assessment will likely begin next month. Opposition to the plant has been vocal and visible in recent weeks. On Dec. 2, nearly 300 people attended a DEP public hearing at John F. Kennedy Middle School and not one person who signed up to speak voiced support for the project. The developers have said that the plant would meet all emission standards. The governor also said Wednesday that while there is a projected $3 billion budget shortfall for the fiscal year that begins July 1, unemployment "is coming down very gradually" and home foreclosures are also declining. "I think we are on the right path. I think we continue, and I continue, to look up and forward," he said. Still, Patrick said, there are many hard decisions that will have to be made. "It's going to take us more than a quarter or two to dig out of this hole," he said. Patrick, who supports the establishment of up to three resort casinos in the state, said casino gambling should not be viewed as a solution to the state's budget woes but, if at all, as an economic development opportunity. The governor's casino bill was soundly defeated in the House last year, and he said he will not refile the legislation. "I don't think I need to," he said. "I've expressed myself."

Digital Mammography Specialty Center
The Great Falls Clinic believes that early detection is the best prevention against breast cancer, which is why we provide you with state-of-the-art technology. We now offer full field digital mammography as part of our women's health screening and diagnostic services. Full field digital mammography is the most advanced mammographic imaging technology available and shows great promise in breast cancer detection and prevention.
Our primary goal has always been to deliver the highest quality care to our patients, which is why we have added this new technology to our women's health diagnostic services. Join us in the fight against breast cancer and schedule your annual mammogram today.
Digital mammography uses computers and specially designed digital detectors to produce an image that can be displayed on a high-resolution computer monitor. The image can then be transmitted and stored similar to computer files.
From a patient's point of view, having a digital mammogram is similar to having a conventional screen film mammogram. Both film-based and digital mammography use compression and x-rays to create images of the breast. During all mammography exams, the technologist positions the patient to image the breast from different angles and compresses the breast with a paddle to obtain optimal image quality. Digital mammograms, however, produce images that appear on the technologist's monitor almost immediately. There is no waiting for film to develop, which can mean that the patient may spend a shorter amount of time in the breast imaging suite.
Unlike other parts of the body, the breast is composed mainly of soft tissue. When breast tissue is x-rayed, it creates an image that looks something like a smoky haze, making it difficult to see tiny spots, called microcalcifications, and other subtle signs of early cancer.
With digital mammography, the radiologist reviews electronic images of the breast, using special high-resolution monitors. The radiologist can adjust the brightness, change contrast and zoom in for close ups of specific areas of interest. Being able to manipulate images is one of the main benefits of digital technology. Another convenience of digital mammography, when compared to film-based systems, is that it can greatly reduce the need for retakes due to over- or under- exposure. This potentially saves additional time and reduces your exposure to x-rays.
Because digital mammograms are electronic, the images can be transmitted quickly across a network. Digital images can also be easily stored, copied without any loss of information and transmitted and received in a more streamlined manner, eliminating dependence on only one set of original films.
Understanding Mammograms
Mammograms play a major role in early detection of breast cancer because they can detect changes in the breast that could be early signs of cancer, but are too small or subtle to be felt. The use of mammography has greatly enhanced the ability to detect breast cancers at earlier stages.
A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breasts, used to detect and diagnose breast diseases. Screening mammography is used as a preventive measure for women who have no symptoms of breast disease. A screening mammogram usually involves two views of each breast. Diagnostic mammography involves additional views of the breast and is used when an abnormality is found during screening or in women who have breast complaints (such as a breast mass, nipple discharge, breast pain or skin irritation). Mammography is a very safe procedure that uses low doses of radiation to produce high-quality x-rays.
Two kinds of mammograms are available: screen-film mammography and full field digital mammography. Screen-film mammography uses x-ray beams that are captured on a film cassette. The film is then developed and a radiologist reviews the film on a high-intensity light box. Digital mammography uses x-ray beams that are captured on specially designed digital detectors. The digital detectors convert the x-ray beams into electronic signals, which are then sent to a computer. The radiologist can then review the digital mammogram on a high-resolution computer monitor.
The American Cancer Society recommends that all women have a baseline screening mammogram between the ages of 35 and 40 and that beginning at the age of 40, women receive an annual screening mammogram. Women with certain risk factors should discuss an appropriate screening program with their physician.
Preparing for a Mammogram
If you have had mammograms in different facilities other than the Great Falls Clinic, call those facilities in advance and arrange to have your previous mammograms, reports and any other treatment reports forwarded. Do not wear deodorant, powder or cream under your arms, as it may interfere with the quality of your mammogram.
Your entire procedure should take about twenty minutes. You will need to undress above the waist and will be given a wrap to wear during the mammogram. The breast imaging technologist will position each breast, one at a time, on the mammography equipment. The breast will then be compressed and an x-ray will be taken. If you are having a screen-film mammogram, the technologist will take all of the x-rays needed for the examination and will then develop the film before you leave in order to ensure each film shows the correct view and exposure. If you are receiving a digital mammogram, each x-ray will appear on the technologist's computer screen, allowing he/she to make sure each image shows the correct view before positioning you for the next x-ray.
Receiving a mammogram should not be a painful experience. Minimal discomfort might be experienced for a brief time during each x-ray due to breast compression. Breast compression helps obtain better x-rays by:
- Flattening the breast so that the maximum amount of tissue can be examined.
- Allowing a lower x-ray dose to be used.
- Holding the breast in place to prevent blurring caused by motion.
If you have sensitive breasts, schedule your mammogram at a time of the month when your breasts will be less tender. In general, the week after a menstrual cycle is when breasts are less tender.
Your mammogram will be read by a radiologist. The radiologist will send a report to your physician who will then notify you of the results. Be sure to ask your physician when you will receive the results of your mammogram. If you do not hear from your physician, don't assume your mammogram was normal. Confirm this by calling your physician's office.
Some known risk factors for breast cancer include:
- Family or personal history of breast cancer
- Early menstrual onset/late onset menopause
- Use of oral contraceptives
- Use of hormone replacement therapy
- Alcohol use (2 or more drinks/day)

text: BUSINESS 'Bloom' on for Brody, Kikuchi 4:00 AM PST 2/6/2007 by Anne Thompson , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Screenwriter-director Rian Johnson has cast Oscar winner Adrien Brody and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi to join Oscar winner Rachel Weisz in Endgame Entertainment's "The Brothers Bloom," an international con man adventure that is Johnson's follow-up to 2005's teen film noir "Brick." The Weinstein Co. International is selling foreign territories at this month's Berlin International Film Festival; CAA and Cinetic Media are selling domestic rights. The project is produced by Ram Bergman and Endgame Entertainment's Jim Stern.Endgame has raised equity financing for the film, budgeted at more than $20 million and scheduled to start production March 19 in 12 countries in Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. Brody will play Bloom, the younger brother in a veteran team of con men who falls for a mysterious millionaire (Weisz) who turns the tables on them as they take on one last job after Brody threatens to quit the family business. Kikuchi will play the brothers' sexy and secretive accomplice. "Brothers" reunites Bergman and Johnson, who teamed on the critically hailed rookie feature "Brick," which won the Special Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and was released by Focus Features. Stern has compared "Brothers" to "The Sting." Bergman hopes to bring the movie to the Festival de Cannes in 2008. Wendy Japhet, Endgame's new president of production, is the executive producer.Johnson was wooed by Brody's "natural charm and intelligence," he said. "Rinko blew me — and everyone else in the world — away in 'Babel.' " Brody won an Oscar for "The Pianist." He last starred in Allen Coulter's film noir mystery "Hollywoodland," and recently wrapped Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited" for Focus Features and completed a co-starring role opposite Penelope Cruz in Menno Meyjes' "Manolete." Kikuchi earned an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress for Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Babel," her first American film. She landed the role of an exhibitionist deaf-mute teenager after she learned to sign in Japanese. Kikuchi also starred in Katsuhito Ishii's "The Taste of Tea," which screened at Cannes in 2004, Kazuyoshi Kumakiri's "Hole in the Sky" and "Tori/Kokorono Katana," directed by Tadanobu Asano. Endgame Entertainment recently sold Todd Hayne's Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" to the Weinstein Co. and produced and financed Daniel Myrick's supernatural thriller "Solstice." Previous productions include "Hotel Rwanda," "Proof" and "Lord of War." Bergman produced "Brick," Sergei Bodrov's Kazakhstan epic adventure "Nomad," which Weinstein Co. will release in March, and the Mexican border drama "La Misma Luna," which sold to Fox Searchlight and the Weinstein Co. at January's Sundance Film Festival. CAA represents Brody and Kikuchi. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Anne Thompson firstname.lastname@example.com @thr AP firstname.lastname@example.com @thr
