Remembrance Service RAF Kenley Tribute at Kenley Aerodrome
14/11/2014 10:11:00......Posted by Steve Hollands
Every year Kenley residents remember the brave fighter pilots, crew and ground staff who served and fought from Kenley Aerodrome during WW11. Since the installation of the memorial the crowds have grown that attend the 1.30pm service on Remembrance Sunday. Croydon's Mayor and the Chairman of Tandridge District Council lead the service by laying wreaths on behalf of the two councils and we also attend laying wreaths as well other local representatives including local churches and the Corporation of London.
This year we commemorate the beginning of the Great War and no doubt residents minds will have been focused on relatives and the people that took part in that great conflict 100 years ago. The occassion also allows us to remember those that have served their country in other more modern wars including Korea, the 'Cold War', The Falklands Conflict, Iraq, Afghanistan and not forgetting the troubles in Northern Ireland.
"We shall remember them"

Ministry of Defence say Kenley Airfield is safe
13/02/2015 09:13:00.......Posted by Steve Hollands
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed it does not have plans to sell Kenley Airfield after announcing land across the country would be sold to save money.
At the end of January Michael Fallon, Secretary of State for Defence, announced that the MOD would consider whether it needs 57 sites within the M25, and what the right number of airfields is.
He said: "Every year we should be looking to take out unnecessary cost, to improve productivity, to sweat our assets so that we can better support the frontline."
But today a spokeswoman for the MOD said: "The MOD does not have any plans to sell Kenley Airfield."
The MOD owns the airfield within the perimeter track, while the City of London owns the land outside the track.
Steve O'Connell, Kenley councillor and member of the Greater London Authority, has written to Mr Fallon to remind him of an agreement that should the MOD no longer want the airfield ownership must be passed to the city of London.
"We want to make sure they don't even think about selling it," said Mr O'Connell.
Alan Morgan, chair of Kenley Airfield Friends Group which is applying for an £800,000 Heritage Lottery Fund to preserve the site, said he was not alarmed about the land's future.
"We are alert but think it's a low level risk at the moment," he said.
Dumped rubbish Northwood Avenue, Purley and Oaks Road, Kenley
13/01/2015 09:27:00.......Posted by Steve Hollands
We continue to report dumped rubbish in the ward and have reported rubbish left on Northwood Avenue near the junction with Higher Drive. It's not the first time that someone has left rubbish there and we are keeping an eye on this section of the road.
As is customary real Christmas trees could be recycled and the site in Kenley was the usual one on the green by Oaks Road. I noticed that some trees had blown down the grass between Saturday morning 10th January and later in the day when trees were collected. I've reported the left over trees as well as some rubbish that was also left there.
Kenley Councillor and GLA Member Steve O'Connell hails Coulsdon bypass success

Transport for London gives the green light to speed limit hike on Coulsdon bypass
Transport for London has said a planned hike to the speed limit on one of Croydon's busiest roads will take place in the New Year.
The speed limit along most of Farthing Way, the A23 bypass around Coulsdon, has been 30mph since the road was built in 2007.
TfL announced last year it would consider raising the limit to 40mph - following complaints its current drop to 30mph at its northern end was unnecessary and had led to unfair speeding charges.
Steve O'Connell, GLA member for Croydon and Sutton, the Metropolitan Police and residents' associations all backed the change in a consultation held earlier this year.
A statement on TfL's website said: "We considered the comments and views expressed to us, which have helped inform our decision.
"We plan to go ahead with the extension of the 40mph limit 600 metres north to a point near to the footbridge across the A23.
Flood prevention works for Kenley and Purley
22/10/2014 16:10:00.......Posted by Steve Hollands
Since the extraordinary flooding earlier this year in Kenley and Purley councillors have kept the pressure on the Council to ensure that resources are found to prevent as much as possible a recurrence of the heavy floods. We are pleased to report that funding for nearly £850,000 of flood prevention measures in Kenley and Purley is set to be approved by Croydon Council.
The money will be spent on increasing the size of the underground section of the Caterham Bourne, increasing the capacity of the temporary reservoir at Bourne View, and upgrading the balancing pond at Purley Oaks. Other projects include carrying out landscaping at Bourne Park to form a dam, building a retaining wall to protect homes from flood water at Bourne Park Close, improving the flow of water past the school and cricket club and reinforcing the open ditch near to Tesco's car park.
A lot of work has already been completed, most importantly changes to the pipe network between the water treatment plant and Purley. This will mean that in future there will be no need to bring in temporary pumps and hoses to transfer excess water past those homes most at risk of flooding.
The culverted section of the Bourne which runs under Dale Road is also in the process of being cleared out to stop water from backing up and reaching the surface.
More needs to be done in the longer term,in a much shorter time frame that is currently envisaged, but this is a good start.
Kenley Councillors attend residents meeting
17/10/2014 15:13:00.......Posted by Steve Hollands
The monthly meeting of Kenley Residents Association was held in Kenley Primary School. The second part of the meeting was open to residents to ask questions and highlight local issues. Jan Buttinger and Steve Hollands attended. Amongst the issues discussed were: Croydon Council's response to this year's local flooding, traffic issues on Beverley and Valley Roads, recent planning applications and the LMD waste site on the Godstone Road in Surrey.
We took various questions away with us to get the answers and respond in due course.
The meeting was well attended and it was good to see some many people turn up.
Purley Hospital Petition - residents queue to sign to have the opening hours decison reversed.
15/10/2014 09:11:00.......Posted by Steve Hollands
Saturday 19th October saw Cllrs Steve Hollands, Jan Buttinger and Steve O'Connell along with Chris Philp (Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Croydon South) and the Purley Councillors out in Purley gathering signatures for the Purley War Memorial Hospital Petition.
The Conservative Party launched the petition to have the down grade of the hospital to a Minor Injury Unit reversed. Facilities such as the X Ray Facility is no longer available to local residents and the opening hours have been cut to 2pm – 8pm.
People were queuing up to sign our petition and this reflects the great concern to local residents that the facilities have been downgraded so quickly after millions of pounds was spent on the hospital.

Stocks head lower on Fed stimulus worries
NEW YORK Stocks took a turn lower in afternoon trading on Wall Street as traders anticipated a pullback in economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 101 points to 15,152, as of 3:12 p.m. ET. Other major market indexes also fell.
The stumble was the latest volatile turn in stock trading as investors try to figure out when and by how much the Federal Reserve will ease back on its $85 billion a month in bond purchases. The market started the day slightly higher after encouraging reports on home prices and trade.
Stocks started to slump around 1:15 p.m. ET when comments were reported from Esther George, president of the Kansas City branch of the Federal Reserve. George said that in light of "improving economic conditions" and other reasons, "I support slowing the pace of asset purchases as an appropriate next step for monetary policy."
"History suggests that waiting too long to acknowledge the economy's progress and prepare markets for more-normal policy settings carries no less risk than tightening too soon," George said in a speech in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
While it's well-known that the Fed's next move will be to slow down its bond purchases, nobody is sure when that will happen. As a result, traders have been trying to out-guess each other in anticipation of the Fed's next step, seizing on comments from Fed officials and minutes from a recent meeting of Fed policymakers to send stock and bond prices swinging sharply over the past two weeks.
The next data point for investors is the Labor Department's closely watched monthly employment survey due out Friday. Oddly enough, a weak report might be encouraging to stock investors since it would imply that the Fed would keep buying bonds to support the economy.
That's the reaction the stock market had on Monday, when traders interpreted an unexpected slowdown in U.S. manufacturing last month as the latest sign that the Fed wasn't close to winding down its stimulus program.
"You gotta believe that people are getting ready for the end of the week," said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis.
The Fed's bond purchases have helped keep bond prices high and the yields they pay low. The Fed's goal is to encourage borrowing and investing with low interest rates.
Many investors expect long-term interest rates to rise when the Fed scales back its bond-buying. If they climb high enough, more investors may be tempted to buy bonds instead of stocks. Trying to anticipate that outcome, many traders are pre-emptively selling stocks on the slightest signs that the Fed may be closer to slowing its stimulus.
The current yield of 2.13 percent on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note is extremely low by historical standards. It's also nearly identical to the average dividend payment of 2.14 percent for stocks in the S&P 500.
In other stock trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 11 points to 1,628. Energy companies were the only one of the 10 industry groups in the index to rise.
The Nasdaq composite fell 26 points to 3,439.
General Motors gained 2 percent on news that the company will be added to the S&P 500 index on Thursday, replacing H.J. Heinz Co. The ketchup maker's acquisition is getting bought by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and the private equity firm 3G Capital. GM was up 75 cents to an even $35.17.
The price of crude oil rose 72 cents to $94.17 a barrel and gold fell $14 to $1,397 an ounce.
Among other companies in the news:
- Dollar General slumped 8 percent, the biggest drop in the S&P 500. The discount-store chain cut its earnings and revenue forecast for the year ahead because it expects sales to slow. Dollar General's stock dropped $4.06 to $49.48.
- SAIC dropped 1 percent, or 13 cents, to $14.75. The security and communications technology company posted a 31 percent drop in quarterly earnings late Monday, as government spending cuts crimped SAIC's revenue.
- Salesforce.com announced plans buy the marketing software company ExactTarget for $2.3 billion. Salesforce fell 3 percent, or $1.13, to $39.91. ExactTarget jumped 52 percent, or $11.61, to $33.71.

Analysis shows some state workers made more in OT than regular salary
Furniture movers, food stamp specialists, scores of psychiatric assistants and Gov. Rick Perry's security troopers are among the top earners of $122 million in overtime paid last year to public employees in Texas.
In some cases - though a small fraction considering the size of the Texas payroll - employees earned more overtime pay than they did from their set salaries, a Houston Chronicle analysis shows.
At the top of the list is a Department of Public Safety sergeant, also a member of Perry's security detail, who earned $65,136.43 in overtime in addition to his $64,401.96 annual salary.
Of the 56,948 state employees who received overtime, 1,988 earned more than $10,000 extra and nearly 40 earned more than their salaries in overtime.
But it is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission that paid the most in overtime to staffers. Officials say the $27.8 million bill was primarily due to a backlog of Medicaid and food stamp applications caused by the stagnant economy. Overtime accounted for about 6 percent of last year's payroll.
"The vast majority of our OT is paid to employees who work in our eligibility offices where we process applications for Medicaid and food benefits," said Stephanie Goodman, spokeswoman for HHSC.
A new computer system in 2011 will help reduce overtime in the coming years, she said, adding that HHSC has spent $6.9 million in overtime so far this year, "about half of what we spent on overtime for the same period in 2011."
At DPS, the top 10 overtime earners were all members of the Executive Protection Bureau and together earned more than $499,000 in overtime.
'24/7/365 operation'
DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said the governor's security team, which traveled with him during his failed bid for the GOP presidential nomination, is assigned to the Executive Protection Bureau and "charged with the responsibility of protecting the state's top leadership and families … and this is a 24/7/365 operation."
Vinger also said that more than $23.6 million of the approximately $27 million paid in overtime last year was specifically authorized by state or federal programs, including the state's Expanded Enforcement Program, the state and federal Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs, and border security overtime funding.
"Unfortunately, murderers, rapists, child predators, robbers, terrorists, Mexican cartels and other high-threat criminals don't operate on an 8 a.m to 5 p.m. schedule," DPS Director Steven McCraw said in a statement. "The Department is fortunate to have dedicated men and women who are willing to sacrifice their time away from their families and willing to work overtime in a dangerous and intense operational environment to serve and protect the people of Texas."
Staffing and overtime
The state's overtime bill reflects some of the shifting challenges Texas faced last year that have forced supervisors to approve employees staying late and working longer, instead of hiring new employees.
"The whole point of requiring overtime pay at time and a half is to encourage people to hire more people rather than work their same people longer," said Rex Burch, a labor law specialist. "I run a small business; if I get to the point where I consistently have lots of overtime, it means we are understaffed."
Sylvester Turner, a Houston Democrat who is vice chairman of the Texas House Appropriations Committee, says the state also laid off 8,000 to 10,000 state employees during the 2011 legislative session.
"Now it seems we are paying quite a bit out in overtime because of the shortages. … It probably cost us more," he said. "It is bad management on the part of the state.
"On top of that, you can only work these people for so much," he said. "For example, the correctional officers, who work a lot of overtime, will not be as productive, which creates public safety issues."
Psychiatric care
Most of the overtime, in fact, did go to workers at agencies with jobs requiring 24-hour-a-day attention, like that of a social worker or a state trooper.
But at the Texas Department Criminal Justice, the state's prison system, it was not correctional officers who earned the most from the $15.4 million overtime tab, but five furniture installers or "skilled craft workers" who each nearly matched their salaries, earning more than $26,000 in overtime.
The workers are part of TDCJ's Texas Correctional Industries, which uses inmates to build and install office furniture in government buildings and schools. The department's installers travel with them and assist with the work.
"The installers, along with offenders, often are traveling long distances and working irregular hours to complete jobs," said TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark.
Dozens of state health department psychiatric nursing assistants also earned close to their annual pay or more in overtime.
"Almost all of our overtime pay is paid to employees working in our mental health hospitals," Carrie Williams, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, said of its $7.3 million in overtime. "We take care of patients 24/7, and if we have vacancies or people are out sick, other employees fill those slots to make sure our patients are safe and well taken care of. "
Much the same has happened with Child Protective Services, part of Department of Family and Protective Services and its $8.6 million bill.
"When abuse is reported, we have to respond, any time, day or night. As ongoing investigations are worked, new ones come in," said department spokesman Patrick Crimmins. "Workers are on call around the clock, and in many instances interviews of parents, potential victims, and other possible witnesses must be conducted."
The Texas Juvenile Justice Department, formerly called the Texas Youth Commission, which oversees 418 child criminal offenders at six residential facilities, paid out more than $2 million in overtime.
"It's a safety and security issue," explained department spokesman Jim Hurley, noting that each juvenile correctional officer must have 300 hours of training to staff juvenile facilities, which require a 12-to-1 ratio.

SAN JOSE — Police credited eagle-eyed residents with helping them nab seven property crime suspects earlier this week in various parts of the city.
A woman was arrested fleeing a residential burglary on Wooster Avenue on Monday, while a male accomplice got away
Tuesday brought a slew of arrests, including that of two juveniles suspected of being in possession of stolen goods, a man exiting a Blackford Circle home holding just-swiped property and three people who police believe were casing out a Pearl Avenue business in preparation of a break-in.
Police said another recent arrest streak occurred in the three weeks between Sept. 26 and Oct. 18, when 17 suspects were taken into custody.
According to a news release, the arrests were linked to 18 burglaries and one carjacking.
Police single out the burglary of a home occupied by a 97-year-old woman who was physically assaulted as "one of the most disturbing cases" that ended in arrest.
"The successful outcome of these burglary investigations is the result of a positive partnership between our community and our dedicated police officers," said San Jose Police Chief Chris Moore in a statement. "We are grateful and honored to have such a responsive and committed community to help us keep our city safe."
Police urge residents witnessing a burglary or suspicious activity to report it by calling 911.

Stacey Dash Defends Her Support of Mitt Romney"Clueless" actress Stacey Dash appeared on "Piers Morgan Tonight" and told the CNN host that she recently endorsed Mitt Romney on Twitter because she wants the next four years to be different.
Dash came under attack on Twitter shortly after publicly supporting Romney on Oct. 7. Most of the negative responses against the 46-year-old actress had to do with her race and gender.
"The fury, I really don't understand the fury," she told Morgan Tuesday night. "I don't understand it. I don't get it…I was shocked, saddened. Not angry. Saddened and really shocked. But you know what, you can't expect everyone to agree with you."
Dash, who admitted she voted for Barack Obama in 2008, told Morgan she believed in Romney.
"I believe him…I watched him, the Governor and his wife, on 'Meet The Press.'…They spoke to me, they seemed authentic and genuine."
One negative tweet directed at Dash read, "You're an unemployed black woman endorsing @MittRomney. You're voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot," one user tweeted.
After the negative backlash, Dash stood by her comment, tweeting, "My humble opinion… EVERYONE is entitled to one."
Women's rights activists Sandra Fluke, who is often a target of many conservative pundits, tweeted her support for Dash.
"So disappointed to see people attacking @REALStaceyDash for voicing her opinion. Disagree politically, but #racist attacks are unacceptable."

We Have Issue With Big Names - Wenger Admits
Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal seem to have an issue with "big games", in light of Theo Walcott's comments that they lack belief, but hit back at Tony Adams and Sol Campbell over their recent criticism of the squad.
Wenger denied, however, that this team don't seem to care as much as the sides of the late 1990s and early 2000s, arguing that they possibly care even more and that they were "very down" after the Chelsea defeat.
"What is worrying is just that we're not winning the big games," he said. "At the moment we do not get the results that we want. That is more worrying than the difference of points.
"The difference of points is mathematically not dramatic, but the consistency of our performances within the game is what is worrying. When you see us in the first half and the second half, it's difficult to believe it's the same team, so that is more worrying for me.
"We are, of course, very disappointed because we've put a lot of effort into these games [the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City and loss at Chelsea] but we missed the start of these games and therefore came out with zero points. In the position we are in now it is a bit backs to the wall because we have to respond, and I'm confident that we will, but the team was very down after the Chelsea game."
Former Gunners centre-backs Adams and Campbell both appeared in the press at the weekend to criticise the current squad, but Wenger was defiant when asked directly whether the current side had the character of previous generations.
"Yes, of course they care as much, if not more... yes, people have the right to criticise when the games don't go as well as you want but I can show you games of the players you spoke about, I can tell you some bad stats as well, believe me. And I can show you some goals where they were not completely untouchable so that's happened to them as well."
When asked about a report which suggested that Wenger had called his players in for a meeting to give them a 'real talking to', he responded: "I don't talk about what has happened since that. We live in a world where you do not need to come into our sleeping room to find out what happened.
"We have to inform you, but don't forget that your job is first to judge us on what happens on the football pitch and not every day what is happening inside.
"It becomes a little bit ridiculous that every single moment of a football club has to be absolutely public and explained. We have to stand up for our performances and not everything we do inside the club."

Costoluto Genovese Tomato
Common Name: Costoluto Genovese Tomato[1]
Scientific Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicum cv
Description: Tender garden vegetable; Flattened, deeply lobed and scalloped, bright rich red fruits; Soft in texture, juicy and slightly tart
Size: Indeterminate vines; space caged plants 24 to 36 inches apart
Cultural Information: Prefers rich, sweet garden loam and full sun
Historical Notes: The Costoluto Genovese tomato is an Italian heirloom tomato variety. Its heavily lobed and often convoluted shape is indicative of early nineteenth century tomato varieties, but makes an oddity in today's vegetable garden. The Costoluto Genovese's stellar flavor is intense and acidic. Because of its odd shape, this tomato is best for sauces and pastes where the skin is removed.

He will be moving into a foster home in NC at the end of the week. Appears to be a year old or so, male (already neutered) Cane Corso mix. He's about 110 lbs, tail docked, dew claws removed. Nice boy. Ended up at animal control and never claimed. He's staying at the vet until we can figure out his transportation to his foster home. His feet are a little easty westy and his elbows out, tail higher than his head but for your average pet person - he's a great looking boy

Another outfield prospect who missed all of 2010 is White Sox '09 first-rounder Jared Mitchell. Unlike Pollock, Mitchell is seriously struggling this year, hitting just .205/.250/.385 in 117 at-bats for High-A Winston-Salem, with a horrible 6/46 BB/K. He was always raw for a college guy and while he always struck out a lot, he also drew walks at LSU and in Low-A. That has completely left him this year. He's also stolen just three bases in six attempts, and while the word is he hasn't lost the speed he had before his horrible ankle injury last spring, it sure isn't showing up in the numbers. He's in a very deep slump currently, 6-for-40 (.150) in his last 10 games, with 20 strikeouts.

text: Chris and Denise Hanson by | May 21, 2019 Chris and Denise Hanson We would like to thank everyone (but especially David) at Andersen Fox for their help during our recent purchase in Spain. From beginning to completion, and beyond, they have been extremely attentive and kind. Looking back it is hard to believe, but true, that we went from making first contact to having an offer accepted within two weeks. David got back to our initial inquiry by email and we arranged to come over to Spain for a viewing. David met up with us as arranged on the Saturday morning and took us to see the property that we had picked out plus three others that he had matched to our brief. It was very exciting and David answered our questions without ever being pushy. We knew within minutes which property we wanted, but we left David on the Saturday afternoon promising to talk things over between ourselves. A quick email was all that was needed to arrange a second viewing on the Monday. We made an offer and David negotiated on our behalf with the vendor. Offer accepted, David introduced us to Raul, our solicitor, who did all the legal work for us. Our week in Spain concluded with visits to the Notario and a local bank. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Back in England, David kept in touch. Obviously we had to arrange documentation and finance, but things went quickly and smoothly. We completed at the beginning of April and a week later, we arrived in Spain to be met by David with the keys. David told us that we could get in touch with him if we had any questions. Obviously there have been one or two things that we have not known and David has been very approachable and helped us out as he promised. We are delighted with our new home in Spain and very grateful to Andersen Fox, who we recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who is thinking of making the move over here.

Another case of meningitis confirmed in Md.
16th case confirmed in Maryland on Tuesday
Another case of fungal meningitis linked to a deadly nationwide outbreak has been confirmed in Maryland, bringing the total to 16, and experts said they still expect that number to grow.
Doctors' offices have been flooded with calls from concerned potential victims across the country.
"This is such a rare occurrence that it would be like trying to avoid a tsunami. It can happen, but it's extremely difficult to predict," said Dr. Reuben Gobezie of the University Hospitals Case Medical Center.
More than 230 people have gotten sick from the tainted steroid shots across the country, and 15 have died. Experts said the potentially contaminated group of steroids has been recalled while Centers for Disease Control and Prevention experts have been busy tracking cases.
In Maryland, state Health Department experts said they've been involved with patient notification and communicating with hospitals and clinics to identify cases associated with the tainted material. They've also transported local specimens to the CDC for testing.
Meanwhile, the FDA said other drugs from the New England company where the contaminated drugs were said to be manufactured may have been tainted as well.
"But we don't know where they went, those medications, and where they were distributed has not yet been identified," said Vanderbilt University's Dr. William Schaffner.
Meanwhile, criminal investigators from the Food and Drug Administration visited the Massachusetts pharmacy linked to the outbreak.

"Breaking Bad's" "Felina" among the very best all-time great TV finales
Walter White exhibited a hint of understanding, and even issued an apology of sorts, as "Breaking Bad" ended its run. Too late to undo his villainy, he did take steps toward honor in a last confrontation with his wife and his surrogate son. Before the deconstruction, where would you say "Breaking Bad" falls in the top 5 all-time great TV finales?
I believe it's among the very best, in the company of "St. Elsewhere," which was the most mind-blowing, "M*A*S*H," which was most poignant, "Six Feet Under," which offered the best closure to long-term fans, and "Newhart," in which Bob Newhart managed the most hilarious ending and had the best inside joke. Where "The Sopranos" opted for the most ambiguous ending and lost points, "Breaking Bad" stayed true to itself, finding some justice, letting Walt make a character-defining true confession and even managing a bit of redemption. The fact is, the final eight episodes expertly built to this moment. Take a bow, Vince Gilligan.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Gavin Grant, a former national collegiate medalist and boys' varsity coach at Noble and Greenough School, has joined the Harvard heavyweight crew staff as a volunteer assistant coach for 2011-12.
Grant coached the boys' rowing team at Nobles from 2008-10. He led the team to a gold medal at the 2009 USRowing Youth National Championships and a bronze medal a year earlier.
Before coming to Boston, Grant worked full-time as a member of the logistics team for the National Outdoor Leadership School at its Teton Valley base in Driggs, Idaho. He was responsible for outfitting, rationing and route-planning for multi-day wilderness expeditions throughout the inter-mountain west, as well as daily backcountry skiing to scout the terrain.
A 2003 graduate of the University of Washington, Grant stroked the UW freshman eight to a runner-up finish in the 2000 Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships. A year later, he earned an IRA silver medal as part of the Huskies' second varsity eight.

XYZ Films' Nate Bolotin, Nick Spicer and Aram Tertzakian talk about their busy company,which is building on the global success of The Raid [pictured]. Jeremy Kay reports
You can still see the starting blocks in the XYZ Films story, but its three founders have wasted little time hitting their stride in what many believe will be a speedy rise.
Nate Bolotin, Nick Spicer and Aram Tertzakian met at UCLA and set up the Los Angeles-based company in early 2008. Since then, they have established themselves as savvy deal-makers, arbiters of good (mostly genre) taste and masters of building relationships.
The Raid is the best case in point. XYZ had handled sales on the little-known Indonesian action movie Merantau after a tip from Todd Brown, the company's Toronto-based partner and founder of genre site Twitch. They saw talent in that film's director, Gareth Evans, a Welshman who works in Jakarta, and helped him develop his $1m follow-up, The Raid.
The martial-arts hit premiered at Toronto in 2011, where it won the Midnight Madness audience award. Two months later, Sony Pictures Classics snapped it up. The movie arrived in US theatres earlier this year amid rapturous acclaim from fans, and has gone on to earn more than $15m worldwide.
XYZ and Evans will start production in January in Indonesia on the sequel and are developing an English-language remake with Sony's Screen Gems division. "The Raid is a good example of us identifying and collaborating with international talent," says Tertzakian. "Gareth won't be directing [the remake] but he is involved in the process and has given the project his blessing."
Bolotin picks up the theme. "Gareth and [his company] Merantau Films have relationships with other up-and-coming talent in the region, and together with them we're helping launch the next wave of Indonesian film-makers. Gareth has been supportive of launching the Mo brothers [who burst on to the scene with Macabre] and he is a producer on their movie Killers, which is in production in Jakarta."
XYZ is handling worldwide sales on Killers through Celluloid Nightmares, the elevated genre sales arm it launched with Celluloid Dreams in 2010. At AFM, Bolotin and director of sales Sarah Gabriel struck a deal with Wild Bunch for France, Germany and Spain on Home, Nicholas McCarthy's follow-up to Sundance 2012 hit The Pact. Meanwhile, eOne has taken on the giant killer-bee story Stung for the UK, Canada, South Africa and Scandinavia.
International rights representation is one aspect of a business that includes producing and packaging, and feeds into the broader idea of exploiting global talent.
The company is expanding its relationships in Australia by bringing on Simon de Bruyn as an acquisitions consultant. Bolotin notes: "I was recently with Simon in Melbourne for [film market] 37°South and we identified projects and got to know Australian film-makers and funding bodies." The company has closed US deals on films such as Crawlspace and Storm Surfers 3D and is also handling world sales on sci-fi thriller These Final Hours.
"This focus on Australia speaks to our broader mission of becoming a global film company," says Tertzakian. "We are proud of the success we achieved with The Raid in Indonesia, and we're aiming to further that success around the world with projects like Frankenstein's Army," which Dutch director Richard Raaphorst shot in Prague and is in post.
The team can usually be found at every major film festival as they seek to broaden the local-language production roster. "We are doing a movie with Participant that will shoot in Colombia called Aguas Rojas," says Spicer. "It is a supernatural horror story with an interesting social angle to it. Participant developed it and brought us on as executive producers. We helped structure a co-production between Colombia and Spain and we're accessing soft monies and mechanisms in those countries.

Ringer Midseason Finale
Ringer Season 1 Episode 10
Okay, Ringer, don't fail me now. I want a lot of fun in short order. Without focusing solely on fashion, I do wonder how Bridget decides which of Siobhan's outfits are appropriate for which type of potential espionage. Sweater and statement necklace? Sure!
So, Bridget and Andrew love each other, huh? I mean, so much so that there's a candle-lit montage of loving-and-staring in the first six minutes of the episode, and only after the afterglow does Bridget don some I-mean-business shoulderpads. She just talks about Gemma, though. It's Siobhan who puts on the full-court press, wrapped in fur to try to explain to "Tyler" why she was in two places at once, while this mostly amounts to her being a giant liar, with a HILARIOUS shiner acquired by smacking herself in the face with a medicine cabinet.
As usual, this is the point where I wonder whose game we're playing? Since Siobhan clearly targeted the dude who works for Andrew, is the endgame making him miserable? Is Bridget ruining her life at every turn?
Because, see, Bridget needs Malcolm to explain the twists and turns of the criminality that's going on while the cops who are trying to take him downtown wait patiently. She's cool to wait patiently while he gets indicted for being many things, not least of which is a guy who showed up on the UES of Manhattan out of freaking nowhere.
Siobhan, on the other hand, is working hard to keep Gemma alive, but being as she can't cough up the cash to keep him to keep her in bologna, he decides to go the shooting route instead. I mean, you can't say the man's not efficient.
Meanwhile, Machado's checking out Wyoming, and people tune out because there's talk of baseball and poor lighting. But then there's a flashback involving Amber Benson and everyone strains their brain to remember whether she and SMG were friends or not, and the fictional Amber Benson character danced at the peeler bar and 'misses Bridget'…
In other things Bridget is screwing up these days:
-Approaching Henry about how she can totally find his wife, or something, and looking injured when he indicates that maybe the smart thing in this scenario would be to let the actual cops do their actual job.
-Failing to notice that her stepdaughter is going all Fatal Lolita on the teacher
-Losing her poker face when "Charlie" comes to visit her and Andrew, even though, while he admits to having Gemma, he calls Bridget "Siobhan". Anyway, he wants cash, which…aren't there easier ways to make cash than this? Is porn really so horrible?
Anyway, when Siobhan gets blackmailed, Andrew, after finding her amassing money, HYSTERICALLY says he can tell by looking that the piles of cash she's sitting among are not enough. Anyway, then he tells her to give Charlie a great new diamond ring that he was just about to propose with because it's worth a quarter-mil.
In Logan Echolls news, Juliet tries to flirt with him (after a….nighttime recycling-fest?), he 'shuts her down' via kicking her friend the witness out of the classroom and closing the door. So, naturally, next time we see her, curled up in her teen bedroom, she says he raped her. Which…reserving judgment.
So, due to the police Siobhan doesn't get to cough up the cash for Charlie (score one for the ring), Gemma gets shot in the trunk of his car, I love that she's still wearing her hideous faux-fur vest, and it turns out to all be Henry's fault. As things are.
But in the most magic of news, somehow Gemma (and her vest!) survived a shot to the head, enough to knock out Charlie with a crowbar, or his knees, or something, and she's crawling all over him looking for phones or keys, and then he shoots her a second time, after telling her the Siobhan/Bridget thing is still going on (which, I'm sure, she was dying to know) and then as he's dragging the body, Siobhan (the real one) shows up with a couple of guns, threatens Charlie, but can't follow through after he says she should have just killed Bridget. Curiouser and curiouser…at which point she shoots him in the temple. Whose passport is she using to get from Paris to here? Or is she coming by ocean liner and stowing away? So it looks like Charlie offed Gemma and then himself, and guess who's the only person who cries real tears about this?
Bridget. Poor sad Bridget. Definitely the puppet this week, and without any of the misery Juliet will eventually rain on her.
Oh, and Siobhan knows she's pregnant. And thinks, or says, it's the young protégé of Andrew's.
ALSO, when they find a note regarding Siobhan in "Charlie's" apartment, Malcolm pronounces a French name correctly. And we get a split screen!!
Furthermore, in the New Year, 'she' gets naughty. The CW tells me so in big giant words. Are you on the edge of your seat yet?

Although Pam may be ready to give her journalism career the heave-ho to open her own club (see her post "I Wanna Be in the Club Business" below), I'm not so sure she should do that quite yet. Not only does this magazine need her as an editor (raise, please, Pam?), but also running a business is hard work. And even more time consuming and complicated than I ever realized. Stuart and I sat in on Alan Roth's session on legal issues involving funding, owning and running a small business yesterday afternoon. Boy was it an eye-opener.
Roth said the single biggest issue facing a small business today was having enough money or capitalization. Money can come from a number of places including friends and family or professional investors such as venture capitalists, private equity firms or mezzanine lenders, but one thing is certain: you need a lot of it. Especially because most small businesses have to deal with what Roth calls the J Curve. This curve basically means that you start out low on the revenue side, fall down even lower and then slowly build up to more than you started with as time goes by. On paper, it looks like a "J." Well, that's what successful small businesses do. I believe he said about half of them don't make it. Ouch.
Roth also went through the basics of forming a business plan and dealing with operational issues. From taxes, retirement issues, licenses, leases and human resources, it's quite the undertaking. However, I'm sure the payoff and work is incredibly satisfying. Just a warning, Pam. --Jennipher

Lucinda graduated from Kent State University with a B.S. in Secondary Education, where she majored in Speech/Theatre with a minor in English. Upon graduation from Kent, the Fairless Bd. of Education in Navarre, Ohio hired Ms. Frailly as Director of Theatre and instructor of English. Lucinda founded the school's Falcon Playhouse and later headed a highly successful Integrated Arts program.
Ms Frailly also lent her skills as a director/choreographer to many civic organizations including the Canton Symphony, the Massillon Swing Band, and Stark County anti–drug videos. The YWCA of West Stark County honored Lucinda when they voted her into the Academy of Women as the Outstanding Woman in Fine Arts in 1988. Ms. Frailly also began to volunteer as a docent at the National First Ladies' Library in 1999 when the library was in its second year of existence.
Cyndee retired from her career as an educator after 30 years of teaching in May of 2001. Two days before her retirement, Mary Regula, Founder and President of the National First Ladies' Library, offered her a staff position. As Ms. Frailly laughingly remembers it, "I retired from teaching on Thursday and started a new career as Director of Education and Special Events Coordinator for the National First Ladies' Library on Friday."Ms. Frailly is still integrating the arts as living history to further Mrs. Regula's mission for the library, which is "to educate the public about the lives, accomplishments, and impact our First Ladies had in helping to shape the course of our nation's history and therefore upon the world."

Here and there,
and now and then,
God makes
a giant among men.
It's been a rough week for San Juan County with the tragic loss of five giant citizens whose losses will be felt for a long time.
Elizabeth (Liz) Black, Erva and John Eaton, and Mike Crittenden all passed from this life on Monday, as did Jason Workman on Thursday.
All were the ultimate team players, my favorite kind of people, my heroes. Could I explain what I mean by that?
Liz Black was a definitive fan of people. She grew up in Blanding and lived most of her adult life in Monticello, so she knew or was related to most of us. But there were no strangers in Liz Black's life and she work tirelessly to get to know, help, and support all others.
Her husband, Dale, said that the number of people who have told him they were helped by Liz is unbelievable; many, many, many that Dale didn't even know about. She truly was the light of thousands of people's lives.
Erva and John found each other later in life. And they lived life to the fullest. They gave their all to family. And a huge family it was: 46 pall bearers and honorary pallbearers called them mother, father, grandmother, grandfather. There's not a better tribute to lives well lived.
Mike Crittenden was a lifelong resident of Monticello who passed after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Mike was one of those guys who could do anything, fix anything. Quiet and friendly, yet unassuming, he was always willing to help anyone.
Mike on his backhoe was a familiar sight around Monticello. And Mike was a big family man, too. One of his and his wife Joanne's granddaughters, Aundria Crittenden, the daughter of Toby and Debra (Hazelwood) Crittenden, is an accomplished gymnast on the national scene, whose biggest fans were grandma and grandpa.
Jason Workman of Blanding was a Navy Seal. That says it all for me. I saw on the news Sunday night that being a Navy Seal was something Jason always aspired to be. And becoming a Navy Seal is no easy endeavor.
Up to 80 percent of applicants wash out and once accepted, nearly two and a half years of rigorous, thorough, intense, and extensive training are required before a Seal is ever deployed.
I remember Jason from his high school days. No one ever looked more imposing in a basketball uniform. Physically, to me, he was the poster child of the Navy Seals.
But though he commanded attention on the sports fields just by his physical presence, he never did so in a cocky, obnoxious way. There was never any bravado, chest thumping, calling attention to himself on his part. He simply played hard, deftly, and humbly without disrespecting anyone.
There was much more to Jason than his physicality. A friend is quoted as saying, "Even if Workman had not accomplished his goal of becoming a Navy SEAL, he would have been a hero for somebody in some other aspect, like a firefighter or law enforcement."
The friend added that Workman "recognized that his gift was best used in helping other people."
Another friend added, "He would do anything to help the guy across the table from him. He would give you the shirt off his back. He was just willing to do anything for anybody and he's proven by giving his life to this country."
Workman was the same age as one of my children. She tells a story about Jason that illustrates. Jason was assisting Steve Olsen one summer in instructing aspiring high school lifeguards for the local swimming pools in Monticello and Blanding.
One of the tasks these lifeguards had to complete was to retrieve a 25-pound weight from the bottom of the pool, twice.
When my daughter, after completing the task once, fumbled the weight on her second ascent, Jason, who was observing underwater, quickly steadied the weight in her hands, enabling her to get the weight to the surface.
A small event, but one that illustrates and perhaps helps explain his life as a Navy Seal, truly one of the best of the best. Jason leaves behind a wife and young son.
One could do no better than with a starting lineup in life of the caliber of these five individuals, all of whom will be missed immensely, but all of whom give us the just the right examples to live up to.

'Escape Plan' Trailer: Stallone! Schwarzenegger! Punching!
Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's all you've got to say to get fans excited for Escape Plan. Nothing beyond those two names really matters. It's just noise at that point.
If you are interested in further details, however, you should know that Escape Plan was formerly called The Tomb, and it's about a guy (Stallone) who has apparently made a career out of breaking out of prisons; a mighty convenient skill set to have since the government happens to have a new, state-of-the-art prison that it wants to prove is inescapable. The government contracts Stallone to take a little stay there and try to see if he can break out. Turns out this new joint is a tad more complicated than your average jail, and so Stallone ends up needing a little bit of help on the inside. Enter Schwarzenegger.
There appears to be a further twist to the story in that Stallone thinks he was sent to the Tomb not to test its limitations, but because the government wanted him to die inside. Don't worry about that, though. Like we said, "Stallone and Schwarzenegger." That's clearly the movie's primary concern. So long as it has those two doing some '80s-worthy action, fans aren't going to care about the intricacy of the plot. And, to that end, Escape Plan looks like it might just deliver when it hits theaters on October 18, 2013.

Trevor Story, Nolan Arenado lead MLB homer parade
Phoenix — The Rockies played longball in April.
Entering Sunday's games, their 37 home runs were tied with the Diamondbacks for the most in the majors.
And that's just the beginning of the Story (pun intended).
According to ESPN Stats and Information:
— Trevor Story has hit 10 home runs this season, tied for most April home runs by a rookie in MLB history. Story started out fast, hitting seven home runs in his first six games, the fastest player in MLB history to reach seven career home runs. His average home run distance is 421 feet, third-longest among MLB players with at least five home runs. Six of Story's 10 home runs have been 425 feet or longer, most in MLB.
— Nolan Arenado's 471-foot home run off San Diego's James Shields on April 10 at Coors Field was the longest home run hit this month. This was the longest home run of Arenado's career by 24 feet (447 feet, 2015).
— Arenado has hit 10 home runs this season, tied with Story for most in MLB. All but one of the home runs was pulled to left field. Arenado, who made his major league debut in 2013, has pulled 66 of his 80 home runs, not hitting even one homer to right field (14 to center). Since the start of 2013, Arenado is the only player to hit more than 45 home runs without at least one of those homers hit to the opposite field.
And then there is this tidbit from the Elias Sports Bureau:
— Story doubled and tripled in the Rockies' 5-2 win at Arizona Saturday, giving him 17 extra-base hits since the first game on April 4. The only players in modern history (since 1900) with as many extra-base hits in the month in which they made their major-league debut are Joe DiMaggio (23 XBH in May 1936) and Albert Pujols (17 in April 2001).

By Sgt. Michael J. MacLeodFebruary 12, 2013
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (Feb. 12, 2013) -- Infantry Capt. Joseph Driskell ended his recent deployment to Afghanistan using unmanned aerial vehicles differently than when he began. One thing he realized that unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, training is critical.
"It's like anything. It takes practice," he said.
Five months after his battalion of paratroopers redeployed from restive Ghazni Province, its UAV operators began retraining on their piloting skills in one of western Fort Bragg's many wide-open parachute drop zones during a week-long refresher course.
Staff Sgt. Angel Colon, the head UAV trainer for the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, said that, while the smaller Raven UAV used in the training was not the aircraft flown in Afghanistan, the basic system was virtually the same as the larger hand-launched Puma that he and his fellow operators flew in support of ground troops in Afghanistan.
"The Puma has a longer range and better camera, but if you can fly the Raven, you can fly the Puma," he said.
Operating the hand-launched UAVs is often an additional duty, as it was for Spc. Philip Piaget, a mortarman who flew a Puma for Driskell almost daily in Afghanistan, so training between deployments is important for retaining operator skills, said Piaget.
The Crestview, Fla., native said that operating a UAV in support of his fellow infantrymen made him an important asset to the company. Driskell, his company commander, readily agreed.
Unlike the larger UAVs, the Puma was a company asset and as such, was entirely in Driskell's control. Because of that, he was able to get real-time data from exactly where he wanted it, Driskell said.
Sometimes a low-flying UAV could be used to deceive an enemy into thinking Driskell's forces were interested in one area when they were heading to another.
"Sometimes they sound like lawnmowers in the sky, right?" Driskell asked. "We use the noise as a tactical advantage."
More importantly, the video feed from the UAV allowed Driskell to become proactive rather than reactive.
"If I could see enemy setting into fighting positions, if I could see their weapons systems and see them start to perform hostile intent, then I could go ahead and start to bring in [air support], artillery or indirect fire, and set up my own ambushes against their lines of retreat," he said.
"We started off the deployment with us getting shot at to identify hostile intent/hostile act. Having systems like this alleviates the fact that we have to react. I could see things ahead of time and be offensive," he said.
To get the most out of UAVs, Driskell suggested that company commanders begin forging strong working relationships with their UAV operators during pre-deployment training.
"It takes 30-45 days to get good at it," he said. "Pick a guy who has retainability and the aptitude to fly," he said.
One of the chief advantages of the smaller UAVs is they are piloted by Soldiers who are very familiar with the area of operation as well as the patterns of life there. That knowledge helps a platoon leader or company commander tremendously as he strives to abide by the rules of engagement, said Driskell.
"The last thing I want to do is shoot the wrong person," he said.
UAV operators are required to re-certify annually.

University of Texas women's track coach Bev Kearney resigned Saturday and acknowledged in an interview with the Austin American-Statesman that she had an intimate relationship with an athlete in her program in 2002.
Kearney had been placed on paid leave in November as university officials investigated unspecified issues within the program.
In a statement released Saturday night, university officials said the relationship was first reported to the school in October and the school was taking measures to fire Kearney before she resigned.
Texas News
News from around the state of Texas.
Neither Kearney nor the university identified the former Texas athlete. Kearney told the newspaper it was a "consensual intimate relationship" that began in July 2002 and ended later that year.
Kearney didn't immediately return a telephone message left at her home late Saturday night.

Review: CBS comedy "The Millers" bows Oct. 3
Loud, crass and populated by a great cast playing funny characters, "The Millers" may take time to reveal itself. That is, we hope the abundant fart jokes in the pilot don't set the tone for the whole series.
Margo Martindale, Will Arnett and Beau Bridges are big talents who have fun with the material, sparring constantly in "The Millers," premiering Oct. 3.
Arnett plays Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local TV news reporter. He's ready to be a carefree single until his parents' marital problems get in the way. When Nathan finally tells his parents he's divorced, his father Tom (Bridges) announces that he's going to do the same, leaving Carol (Martindale), his wife of 43 years.
It's goofy, but fun.
