Spreading the entrepreneurial spirit to Africa
Stephanie Copeland '13, right, watches as Peace, one of 12 Ugandan women with whom Copeland has been sharing entrepreneurial advice, makes bangles to be sold through 1000 Shillings this fall.
By Stephanie Copeland '13
July 24, 2013
"If the people you're telling your entrepreneurial plans to are laughing at you, the problem is not you. The problem is you're asking golfers to judge your baseball swing. … If you want to play baseball, quit listening to golfers." –Jeff Hoffman
I quit listening to golfers so I could play baseball. That's what I told myself as I boarded my plane to Uganda, months after Mr. Hoffman, a founding team member of Priceline.com, spoke on campus. I was excited about my upcoming adventure but the concerns of my friends and family still rung in my ears.
1000 Shillings is a startup company that recently began its operations in November 2012. Its mission is to give women artisans an international market for their products while sharing their personal stories with a larger audience. By highlighting their stories and amazing growth, 1000 Shillings hopes to create meaningful community change within the Namatala slums of Uganda. I found the organization online, which didn't ease the worries of my loved ones, but I knew it was something I had to be part of. I graduate in December as a human resource management major, and I wanted to spend my last summer as a college student doing something meaningful and outside my comfort zone. That is exactly what I got.
I am the social entrepreneur fellow for 1000 Shillings' inaugural fellowship class in Mbale, Uganda. My job is to teach business classes, write business plans for each of 12 women and do case studies on local Mbale businesses. This of course does not include adjusting to a whole new lifestyle and economic environment. It is nothing like the western world. Working with the women of 1000 Shillings has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life thus far.
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Martha, one of the 12 women, in her village in northern Uganda. She plans on starting a beekeeping business there. I met her family, stayed in her home, and visited local farms. We discussed how she will generate enough capital to start her business using 1000 Shillings' microgrant. Martha is enthusiastic, optimistic, and intelligent. She truly has the spirit of an entrepreneur. Her plan is to expand the business she was able to start last year with 1000 Shillings' help. This means finding more clients to clean for and selling more cassava, charcoal and rice. She hopes that by October, she will have saved enough money to purchase the necessary equipment to start beekeeping. By the end of December, she hopes to harvest her first batch of honey.
Before coming to Uganda, I had never written a business plan. I also had never spent a night without electricity or rafted the Nile. I know I will leave Uganda with memories of good people and newly acquired leadership skills transferrable to any business sector I find myself working in post-graduation.

Spider-Man actor injures leg; Broadway show halted
NEW YORK (AP) — An actor in the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" was injured during a performance, the latest blow to a show that cost $75 million and has endured plenty of offstage drama.
A spokesman for Broadway's most expensive show says the actor was injured during the Thursday night performance, which was immediately stopped. The actor, Daniel Curry, had a serious leg injury.
Fire officials said they responded to treat a man whose leg got caught in equipment backstage.
Curry was one of several actors who play Spider-Man during each performance, leaping into the audience and swinging over the orchestra.
Actors' Equity Association, a labor union that represents actors and stage managers, issued a statement saying it is "deeply concerned about the Equity member who was injured in the Thursday evening performance" and "has initiated an investigation into the situation, working closely with its members and the representatives of the production."
The musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" has become one of Broadway's biggest hits after a difficult start, with six delays in its opening night, injuries to fellow actors, the firing of the show's original director and critical drubbing.
One actor, Christopher Tierney, suffered a fractured skull, a fractured shoulder blade, four broken ribs and three broken vertebrae during a fall in 2010. A lead actress, Natalie Mendoza, suffered a concussion during the first preview performance. A stuntman, Richard Kobak, sued the producers, saying he suffered a concussion, whiplash and two holes in his knees.

Time for state to boost freeway speed limit
PAUL TITTL RECENTLY DROVE the speed limit from his Manitowoc home to Madison and was the slowest driver on the road.
"I didn't pass anyone," the freshman Republican assemblyman said.
That's one reason why Tittl has introduced a bill to raise the speed limit on major rural Wisconsin highways from 65 to 70 mph.
State residents like to think of Wisconsin as progressive. We remain in the slow lane and even backward, however, on Interstate speeds. Last week, Gov. Pat Quinn approved raising the top speed in Illinois to 70. That leaves Wisconsin the lone state between Pennsylvania and Oregon stuck at 65 mph. Drivers in some states cruise even faster than 70.
Critics of Tittl's plan point to studies that suggest a higher speed limit will lead to more traffic deaths. Still, some crash analysts say letting speed limits edge up poses no higher risks. Supporters point to a study from Purdue University that suggested the likelihood of fatalities and serious injuries didn't rise when Indiana moved from 65 to 70 in 2005. Supporters also could cite research years ago that suggested most fatal crashes on Wisconsin's Interstate system involve not speeders but drivers falling asleep or going too fast for conditions.
Besides, as drivers know well, many or most motorists roll at 70 mph or higher now.
"I don't think it will be much of a change at all," Tittl argues.
Still, the change would give more drivers the opportunity to reach their jobs or vacation destinations more quickly without the risk of tickets. It would make salespeople who spend many hours on the road more efficient. It would give companies chances to improve commerce by moving goods and services more swiftly.
Sure, higher speeds might erode roadbeds more quickly. Our Interstate highways, however, were built to handle speeds of 70.
The energy crisis in 1973 caused the federal government to slow drivers to 55 mph. Washington lifted that rule in 1995. Those still wanting to save gas by driving below a higher speed limit would be free to do so.
It's intuitive to think that raising the limit would stretch the range of speeds motorists use and boost risks of motorists bumping into each other. Yet vehicles keep getting safer, more people are wisely buckling up, and traffic deaths per mile driven have been falling. The state plans to further enhance safety with expansion plans in congested areas such as Interstate 90/39 between the state line and Madison.
It's good to hear Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, support Tittl's proposal. It's disappointing that Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald signaled disinterest and that Gov. Scott Walker and Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb took no position.
We hope that, instead of leaving an archaic roadblock for motorists, our leaders in Madison help drivers step on the gas. - The Janesville Gazette, Aug. 23
At issue:
70 mph speed limit
Bottom line:
Time for state to adopt it

Press Release
Narrow-Band Imaging Comparable to Standard White Light Colonoscopy in Differentiating Colorectal Polyps in Real-TimeNBI accuracy improves with experience
OAK BROOK, Ill. December 15, 2008 Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine compared narrow-band imaging (NBI) without high magnification to standard white light colonoscopy in differentiating colorectal polyps during real-time colonoscopy and found that NBI was not more accurate than white light colonoscopy. The study found, however, a significant learning curve for these experienced endoscopists using NBI as a new diagnostic tool. Once this learning curve was achieved, NBI performed significantly better. The study appears in the December issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
Endoscopy is a procedure that uses an endoscope -- a thin, flexible tube with a light and a lens on the end to look into the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, or rectum, in order to diagnose or treat a condition. There are many types of endoscopy, including colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, gastroscopy, enteroscopy, and esophogogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Colonoscopy is frequently used to screen for colorectal cancer, which most typically develops from polyps. The two main polyp types are adenomatous, which are precancerous and hence require removal, and nonadenomatous, which do not have a high likelihood of developing into cancer.
Narrow-band imaging is a new optical technology that modifies white light by using only certain wavelengths to enhance the image. The technology provides more visual detail of the lining of the colon (including polyps) and of the small blood vessels near the surface of the polyps. At the present time, there is no widely adopted, easily applied method for distinguishing between adenomatous (potentially pre-cancerous polyps) and nonadenomatous polyps during real-time colonoscopy. From a practical standpoint, the ability to distinguish the two would allow the endoscopist to remove only those polyps with precancerous potential.
In this prospective trial, we aimed to compare standard broadband white light colonoscopy with narrow-band imaging for the differentiation of colorectal polyps during real-time colonoscopy by using a modified Kudo pit pattern classification and vascular color intensity grading, said study lead author Jason Rogart, MD, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. Overall, NBI accuracy was 80 percent, compared with 77 percent for white light alone. We also demonstrated that improved performance can be achieved over time. NBI was most useful in correctly identifying adenomas, polyps that have the most risk of developing into cancer, especially those that are small. The authors went on to state that this is, to their knowledge, the largest study to date that addresses the question of whether NBI outperforms ordinary white light in predicting the histopathologic diagnosis of polyps during real-time colonoscopy.
Patients and Methods
A total of 302 patients were enrolled from August 2006 to July 2007 at Yale University; 265 polyps were found in 131 patients resulting in an adenoma detection rate of 30 percent. Of the polyps, 49 percent were adenomas or carcinomas, whereas 51 percent were nonadenomatous; 74 percent of adenomas were 5 mm or smaller, and 42 percent were 3 mm or smaller.
Four experienced endoscopists, with a minimum number of 1,000 colonoscopies previously performed (range 1,000-10,000), participated in this study. All colonoscopies were performed with high definition endoscopes. The participating physicians were oriented to NBI before enrollment through a one-hour interactive lecture on NBI, instruction in classifying polyps based on the surface characteristics (simplified Kudo pit pattern and vascular color intensity grading), and a pretest that consisted of 20 unknown polyps photographed with the NBI system. Additionally, an atlas of endoscopic images of polyps examined with both chromoendoscopy and NBI were posted in the procedure areas.
Throughout the study period, endoscopists received feedback every two weeks about the accuracy of their endoscopic predictions compared with the histopathologic diagnosis. After enrollment was completed, the same endoscopists completed a posttest that involved the same 20 unknown polyps, which were randomly reordered. Before initiating the study, researchers planned to assess endoscopists individual and group accuracy in the first and second halves of the study. The halfway point in the study was determined after completion of study enrollment by dividing in half the total number of polyps removed by each endoscopist.
Overall, NBI accuracy was 80 percent compared with 77 percent for white light alone. NBI performed significantly better than white light in diagnosing adenomas (sensitivity 80 percent vs. 69 percent), particularly for adenomas = 5 mm (75 percent vs. 60 percent). There was no difference between NBI and white light for nonadenomatous polyps. Diagnostic accuracies were better for larger polyps (mean size of correct prediction 4.7 mm vs. 3.9 mm) and nonsignificant for polypoid shape (87 percent vs. 79 percent for polyps with sessile shape). Compared with white light, however, NBI did not significantly improve accuracy in any size or shape category, nor for any segment of the colon.
An equal number of polyps were analyzed in each of the two study periods (133 and 132, respectively). NBI accuracies significantly improved from 74 percent to 87 percent between the two study periods whereas, white light accuracies were unchanged (78 percent first half and 79 percent second half). In the second half of the study (i.e., after the learning curve was reached), therefore, NBI was significantly more accurate than white light.
Researchers demonstrated that there is a learning curve with regard to NBI assessment of colorectal polyps, and that NBI outperforms ordinary broadband white light once this learning is achieved. They conclude that their findings also highlight the variable NBI appearance of both adenomatous and nonadenomatous polyps. At the present time, current NBI accuracy rates of 80 percent are inadequate to defer polypectomy (polyp removal) and, therefore, limit the utility of NBI in evaluating colorectal polyps during routine clinical practice. Accuracy rates that approach 100 percent would be required for endoscopists to use this assessment to determine the need for polyp removal with confidence. Further investigation into superficial mucosal patterns of polyps and the optimal method of viewing them with NBI is needed.

Did Rihanna + Chris Brown Spend New Year's Eve Together?
A picture is worth a thousand words, but a black and white spotted comforter? Well, that bedding reveals the truth. It appears that Rihanna and Chris Brown spent New Years Eve together.
No, they didn't get dirty and share a photo of themselves in bed together. Instead, ChRihanna shared separate (but equal) Instagram images of themselves in bed on New Year's morning, wrapped in the same aforementioned comforter.
Rihanna shared a photo of herself covered up to her nose, her eyes peering out lovingly at someone, likely Breezy. She posted: "Good morning! Still haven't slept lol #hello2013." Ooh, we wonder what trouble these two were getting into.
Breezy posted: "Mornings."
Yeah, those suck without a wake up cup of caffeine! But we'll venture a guess that he enjoyed smooch from the woman he loves, who happens to be one of the most popular and desirable pop stars working today.
It didn't take long for either of their followers to point out the similarity in the covers. We seriously doubt they were just crashing in separate rooms in the same hotel.
Laker game on Christmas. Thug life images. Photos in the same bed. The holidays were certainly a fertile time for RiRi and Breezy.
ChRihanna are going strong and 2013 is just hours old. These two are cray cray about each other, and very possibly cray cray. Can they just admit it already?
Check out the photos -- is that photographic proof that they rang in 2013 together?

Pulled from the musty archives of a library book sale, dusted off (slightly), and dragged into the light of day for the first time in nine decades, we present you with a selection of popular fallacies of 1924, as documented in Popular Fallacies Explained and Corrected, published in 1924 by A.S.E. Ackermann.
Popular fallacy number one: "That green wall-paper is the only kind that is likely to be dangerous on account of it possibly containing arsenic."
Au contraire, "this is an absolute fallacy, for other coloured papers may contain arsenic."
Popular fallacy number two: "That cats suck the breath out of sleeping children."
The author thankfully reassures us, "the formation of the cat's mouth makes it impossible for it to interrupt respiration by the mouth and the nose of the child at the same time. Hence we see that while it is by no means desirable to let a cat sleep on top of a child, when this does occur it is not from any malice prepense on the part of puss."
Popular fallacy number three: "That glycerine is inflammable."
"Being transparent and viscid it looks much like 'refined liquid paraffin,' the popular laxative, which is slightly inflammable, but glycerine is certainly not inflammable."
Popular fallacy number four: "That only evil smelling odours are dangerous."
"Chloroform has a pleasant smell, and a nice taste, but of course produces fatal results if too much is taken and the same remarks apply to sulphuric ether."
Popular fallacy number five: "That tobacco is a good thing with which to stop bleeding."
On the contrary, Dr. Peter Shepherd (circa 1924) assures us, "The plan of trying to stop bleeding with tobacco must never be used, as there is great danger of the patient becoming poisoned."
Popular fallacy number six: "That porpoise boots and shoes are made of material obtained from porpoises."
Of course, we know this cannot be true since "porpoises have no skin, that is hide, the blubber or coating of lard which encases them being covered by a black substance, as thin as tissue paper. The porpoise hide of the boot maker is really leather made from the skin of the Beluga, or 'White Whale,' which is found only in the far north."

Two players have been upgraded off the list entirely, while two more who did not play on Saturday night against Philadelphia made the upward climb on the list.
NE Injury Report – August 31, 2010
PROBABLE: Kevin Alston (L hamstring strain), Cory Gibbs (L ankle sprain), Matt Reis (low back pain)
QUESTIONABLE: Zak Boggs (concussion), Nico Colaluca (R ankle sprain)
DOUBTFUL: Jason Griffiths (L hamstring strain), Edgaras Jankauskas (L adductor strain)
OUT: Preston Burpo (R leg surgery), Taylor Twellman (concussion)
UNAVAILABLE: Kenny Mansally (Gambia National Team), Sainey Nyassi (Gambia National Team)
Off the list entirely are Kheli Dube (R MCL sprain) and Marko Perovi? (L plantar fasciitis) have both come off the list. Perovi? started and played 90 minutes on Saturday, while Dube was available for selection and a member of the 17-man gameday roster. While he did not see any action, he was available for selection for the first time since the end of the July when he picked up the knee injury.
Also upgraded – both to PROBABLE - were Kevin Alston (L hamstring strain) and Matt Reis (low back pain), neither of whom played on Saturday night because of their injuries. Alston was a full participant in training both days this week, while Reis returned to the field to work with the goalkeeping unit on both Monday and Tuesday. Alston was officially QUESTIONABLE last Friday, while Reis was DOUBTFUL on the last report.
Cory Gibbs (L ankle sprain) played 90 minutes at center back on Saturday night and has trained all week, yet remains listed as PROBABLE on the injury list while his ankle continues to return to full strength.
Zak Boggs (concussion) and Nico Colaluca (R ankle sprain) continue to remain listed as QUESTIONABLE. Both returned to full training this week and their status for this week's games remains in the hands of the medical and technical staffs.
Jason Griffiths (L hamstring strain) and Edgaras Jankauskas (L adductor strain) remain DOUBTFUL and spent the first two training sessions of the week working off to the side with the athletic training staff, focusing on agility and endurance exercises.
Two other players will be missing from both matches this week as Gambian midfielders Kenny Mansally and Sainey Nyassi have both been called in to Gambia's National Team ahead of its African Nations Cup qualifier against Namibia on Saturday. As the game falls on a FIFA international date both players were compelled to join the squad on the call-in day, five days ahead of the competition. Mansally, who has five caps for Gambia, and Nyassi, who has two, will be joined in Banjul, Gambia, by Nyassi's identical twin brother, Sanna, who also was called in to camp, and thus will also not be available on Saturday when his Seattle Sounders FC travel to Foxborough to face the Revs.

European Fords in the Movies
Seen any English or European Fords in the movies lately? This thread is a place to let rest of us know about it. The format I would like to establish here is as follows:
1) Movie Name
2) Year made and/or released
3) A few words about the significance of the movie and the cars involved.
4) A link to more information about the movie such as RottenTomatoes.com or IMDB.
Now, please pass the popcorn...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (based on a J.K. Rowling book by the same name) put the 105E Anglia squarely into the consciousness of millions of viewers who had probably not seen one in years, if ever. A few years ago a member of the British 105E Anglia Owners Club wrote an article for Classic Ford magazine about his job collecting old Anglias for the production of the movie. He said that something like 15 or 20 cars were destroyed in the filming, though most were just repainted hulks to start with.

Once upon a time in the Midlands
Not a bad movie, not a great one either. This movie deals with themes of love, friendship, personal values and materialism in the working class suburbs of if the British Midlands. One of the central characters in this movie is a Ford Sierra (called "Baby" if I recall correctly). The car is a XR4i model with a Cosworth grille. The Sierra gets wrecked and rebuilt two or three times over the course of the story (though I suspect that in real life it was only wrecked once). In one scene, the Sierra's owner can be seen reading a magazine, which on closer inspection turns out to be a early issue of Classic Ford.
Probably worth renting.

Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit
A family favorite at our house, Wallace and Gromit is wonderfully funny exercise in clay animation that kids and adults will both enjoy. The main vehicle in the movie is Wallace's 1950s Austin A35 van, but every other vehicle seen on the street is either a 100E Anglia/Prefect or a 300E Thames!

Born Free
As the review says, this is a feel-good family movie with lots of wildlife and African scenery, which I always enjoy. The principle vehicles in this movie are a Land Rover (duh), a Commer truck and a Hillman Super Minx estate. Mid-movie the main characters drive to Nairobi, Kenya, which results in some interesting car spotting for the contemporary viewer. There is a particularly nice series of shots of a brand new split-window VW Bus. The EnFo connection is tenuous, but intriguing.
In the back ground of the airport scene is a black and silver estate, which I believe to be a Kenyan spec Consul Classic 315. I only know that there ever was such a car, because of a photo I saw in the newsletter of the British Consul Classic & Capri Owners Club newsletter. I would assume that only a few hundred, at most, of these estates were ever made. The image is fuzzy but I have played it over and over in slow motion. I am about 90% confident that it is Consul Estate, the other possibility is that it is a PA Vauxhall Cresta. Watch the movie and decide for yourself!

I thought I should add some films! First one is called 'Never Let Go' and was released in 1960. The film stars Richard Todd and the story revolves around the fact that he buys a new Anglia 105E for his job. The car is stolen, he has little insurance and follows his attempts to get the Anglia back from the thieves. Ford must have had a hand in the film as it is great promotion for the new 105E! A very good film, made in black and white.
Dr No, the first James Bond film made in 1963 starts with a man getting shot as he gets into his 105E. Many Fords can be seen in the car park scene at the airport and a Mk2 Consul also makes an appearance as a police car.
Carry On Cabby released in 1963 features a fleet of Mk1 Cortinas as taxis. The story is that the wife (Hattie Jacques) of a traditional cab firm owner opens her own company with woman drivers in Cortinas in opposition to her husband played by Sid James. It is a comedy and rumours have it that Ford requisitioned press and management cars to supply them to the film. In fact at the famous Goodwood Revival motorsport meeting there has been a fleet of Glamcab Cortinas for the past two years!
Finally for now there is 'O Lucky Man' starring Malcolm McDowell released around 1974. It is the follow up to the notorious film 'A Clockwork Orange' and McDowell plays a salesman who drives an Anglia 105E estate as his company car. Sadly the Anglia comes to a fiery end!
There are quite a lot of films featuring our cars but this will do for a start!

James, yeah, imdb cars is pretty amazing and I did waste a fair amount of time last night (when I should have been sleeping) checking it out. It is great but I was surprised by how many movies, ones that I remember seeing interesting vehicles in, that were not in the database.
Paul, welcome and thanks for the info on those UK movies. Sounds like they are worth watching for the cars alone.

Rear Window
The reviewers call Rear Window one of Alfred Hitchcocks best films. Shot on a sound stage, the main character (played by Jimmy Stewart) spend most of the movie spying on his Greenwich Village neighbors, until he thinks he has discovered a murder On at least two occasions, a car can be seen passing by an ally. The entire car is never fully in view, but the car is clearly a Mk I Consul or Zephyr. A treat for the sharp-eyed EnFo enthusiast.

La Dolce Vita
A classic Italian art house film by Fellini, I watched it for the first time earlier this year. While the main character spends some time riding around in a 1958 Cadillac convertible, in a street scene, there are several shots of an early Mk II Zodiac delightful.

This weekend I watched the Last King of Scotland -- a good movie on the horrific subject of Idi Amins Uganda. In one street scene, a blue and white (looks to be hand painted) 105E Anglia passes by in the background.

Leeds United manager Brian McDermott is already relishing the prospect of returning to his former club Reading.
The Championship fixtures were released on Wednesday and McDermott doesn't have to wait long for a return to the Madejski Stadium, as his side travel south on September 17.
And the 52-year-old, who spent 13 years at the Berkshire club, believes it will be a special occasion returning to the club.
"For me that will be a special game because I never really had a chance to say goodbye to anyone at the ground," McDermott told the club's official website. "So it will be nice to go back and say hello to a few people."
"I had 13 years there and I like to think I had a good time and I enjoyed my time there with the managers I worked under and as a manager myself.
"The fans were good to me there so it will be nice to go back."
McDermott led the Royals to the Premier League in the 2011/12 season for only the second time in their history before being sacked in March last season before the club's relegation.
Leeds United Club ambassador Eddie Gray acknowledges the occasion for McDermott but he also knows that he will be eager to gain all three points.
"I think he still feels a bit aggrieved about what happened at Reading, probably rightly so," said Gray. "It is always quite emotional when a manager returns to his old club, especially a club he served well and was successful.
"He'll be looking forward to going back and I'm sure that nothing would give him more pleasure than picking up the three points there."
McDermott began his spell at Reading in 2000, when he joined Alan Pardew's squad becoming chief scout. He went on to become the under-19s and reserve-team manager before taking over as caretaker first-team manager following the departure of Brendan Rodgers.

Movie of the week: Argo
It tells the true story of some imaginative derring-do on the part of a brilliant and unorthodox CIA agent called Tony Mendez. This is a watchable, enjoyable film, with some hilarious and nail-biting moments, but it sets its face disconcertingly against satire and mischief with a final lurch into schmaltzy, liberal-patriot piety. It is as if The West Wing's Aaron Sorkin, in his most solemn mood, had suddenly taken over screenwriting duties for the final 10 minutes.
The movie is based on Mendez's own testimony.
As with all spies' tales we're entitled to our pinch of salt, but his story is just so incredible it compels belief: a startling piece of declassified secret history about a CIA-sponsored bogus film. The moral might be that there's no business like show business and no show business like the movie business — and you can pretty much rely on everyone uncritically kowtowing to its glamour and prestige.
In 1979, six American officials managed to scramble out of the United States embassy in Tehran, just as it was overrun by a pro-Ayatollah mob who held the remaining personnel hostage: an ordeal for them and for Jimmy Carter, whose presidency bled to death in the ensuing media furore. The six escapers holed up in secret at the Canadian ambassador's residence; back at CIA headquarters, the crisis was handled by Mendez, the agency's top "exfil" guy — an expert in "exfiltration", or getting Americans out of enemy territory. He is played by Affleck himself in a stolid, unflashy performance: a single shirtless moment is his only self-indulgence.
Mendez is shown persuading his superiors to bankroll a crazy but inspired scheme: he will fly into Iran with seven fake Canadian passports — one for him and one each for his six compatriots — claiming to be a Canadian movie producer, scouting locations for a new science-fiction thriller called Argo.
The plan is that these terrified prisoners will wander brazenly around with him and some Iranian culture ministry officials, posing as producers and cinemato-graphers, pretending to size up the scenery through letterboxed fingers and so on, and then they all go home together on a Swissair flight.
Mendez makes it look more real than real by getting all the right documentation and hiring real backers, including a Hollywood make-up technician (John Goodman) and a veteran mogul (Alan Arkin). They stage a real reading of a complete, preposterous script in a Los Angeles hotel, duly reported on by Variety. (Perhaps Canadian producers would be less likely to annoy the Iranians, but the point is they need the Hollywood brand to make it all look good.) In short, they're doing everything that real producers would do in making a real movie. The movie is never going to get made, but so what? That happens all the time. What can go wrong?
Argo is partly based on a Wired magazine article titled "The great escape", after the 1963 movie about a World War II escape attempt, and that film is a potent influence. Audiences will be waiting for an equivalent of that awful moment when the cunning German says "Good luck!" in English to Gordon Jackson and without thinking he says "Thank you!" It also feels like a postmodern spin on pictures such as The Producers and Wag the Dog, with practitioners of the showbiz black arts creating tinselly illusions. Playing the wisecracking mogul, Arkin surely drew on Dustin Hoffman's legendary impersonation of Robert Evans and the scene showing his pile of possible screenplays surely alludes to the script ordeal of Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock.
Part of what makes this head-spinning story believable is the fact that it pans out in an oddly uncomplicated way. If it was fiction, there would be more tense encounters with English-speaking Iranian officials, and they would be more suspicious and knowledgeable. And of course, if it was fiction, the movie Argo would actually get made and be a massive hit in Iran.
The emphasis turns out to be rather different, leading to what I felt was a tonal oddity: a gobsmackingly bizarre adventure that finally has to be rescued from irony and subversion and treated with uplifting solemnity, as if to repudiate any sense that what we have been watching is a comedy. But a comedy is basically what Argo is, and a good one. — © Guardian News & Media 2013

Reeder named SEBaseball.com A-Sun Freshmen of the Year
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 6, 2009) -Sophomore Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) started for Team NECBL (New England Collegiate Baseball League) in a 4-1 loss to Team USA Baseball Sunday at the MerchantsAuto.com AA Stadium in Manchester, N.H.
"This was a great honor for Paul to play with and against the best players in the United States," said head coach Tony Skole. "He is having a tremendous summer in the NECBL."
The Buccaneer first baseman was one of three North Adams SteepleCats selected to Team NECBL. Hoilman has been one of the biggest offensive threats in the league this season. Currently, he is hitting .295 with a league-leading five home runs. His 16 runs batted in are second-most in the league and he leads the league in total bases with 39 and walks with 20.
"Our entire roster, except for three who are rehabbing injuries, is playing this summer," Skole said. "This is the first time we have been able to accomplish this in ten years and I am confident that it will be beneficial to the development of our young players."
Freshman Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) was named the South Eastern Baseball Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year last week, while also earning a spot on the second team, while Hoilman was named to the first team.

Sway returns in style with his brilliant new single 'Level Up' on 8th April through 3 Beat Records. The track has been Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World as well as getting the seal of approval from MistaJam.
Never one to conform to the norm, Sway constantly looks for ways to stand out from the crowd and he will have heads and ears turning with his latest offering. Combining Flux Pavilion's speaker-oscillating dubstep production with Sway's signature lyrical word-play and newcomer Kelsey McHugh's soulful vocals on the hook, 'Level Up' brings a unique sonic to the table. "The song is about winning, elevation, going from one stage in your life to a better one," explains Sway. "I wanted to the capture that moment and that feeling we get when we feel like we've achieved something that will change your life." The collaboration with Flux Pavillion came about when Sway was introduced to the producer's music by 1Xtra's Semtex. Making contact with the producer via Facebook, Sway discovered Flux was a fan and within weeks the pair were working in the studio together.

November 28, 2012 20:01 ET
KINGSTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2012) - On behalf of the Defence family, Brigadier-General Jean-Robert Bernier, the Surgeon General, presented the Major Sir Frederick Banting Award at the 2012 Military and Veteran's Health Research Forum today to recognize and encourage high-quality research that addresses military health issues.
"It is with great pride that I present this award to Dr. Jacqueline Hebert, MD, Professor at the University of Alberta," said Brigadier-General Bernier. "This prestigious award honours Sir Frederick Banting's decorated career as a world-renowned researcher and medical officer in the Canadian Army and bestows the winner with appropriate recognition for their valuable research contribution to military and veterans' health." Sir Frederick Banting was a world-renowned physician, researcher, Nobel Prize winner and the discoverer of insulin.
The award is presented to the Canadian whose research paper is deemed to be of the greatest overall value to military health. True Patriot Love, a national foundation established by corporate and community leaders to raise funds for programs that support the well-being and morale of members of the Canadian Forces (CF) and their families, sponsors the award, which is adjudicated by the Surgeon General at the annual Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Research's Forum.
"I congratulate Dr. Jacqueline Hebert, MD, as the second recipient of the Major Sir Frederick Banting Award for her significant research contribution to military health research," said the Honorable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence. "It is critical that we continue to advance military health research, through work such as Jacqueline's, in order to meet the protection, promotion and health care needs of Canadian Forces personnel of today and into the future."
The Military and Veteran's Health Research Forum has attracted over 450 Canadian researchers, clinicians, military personnel, veterans, industry stakeholders, government representatives and international delegates eager to learn and network at Canada's only conference that is dedicated to health research for the military and veterans.
"The challenges that military members and their families experience are unique to them," said Chief Warrant Officer Pierre Marchand, CF Health Services Chief Warrant Officer. "We need to continually pursue research that addresses their challenges and reward those whose research factors in such things contributing to scientific quality, military relevance and the overall value to the Canadian Forces."
The CF, with the support of their health care partners, are committed to providing full-spectrum care and the highest standard of health care possible to Canada's military personnel, at anytime and anywhere they serve. As part of this commitment, on September 12, 2012, the Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Peter MacKay, announced an additional $11.4 million in funding to augment mental health care and preventive programs in the CF. This initiative, spearheaded by Minister MacKay, brings the CF's annual health care budget to approximately $440 million.

About Fuel Meals
Long-term meal prep has become a popular way for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to stay on top of the food that keeps them going throughout the week. But there are plenty of people who don't have the time or the cooking skill to create tasty entrees that cover their nutritional and energy needs. Cue Fuel Meals, which delivers cold-packed meals straight to athletes' doorsteps.
Each full-portioned entree has been carefully designed to contain 8 ounces of protein, 8 ounces of carbohydrates, and 8 ounces of vegetables (when applicable). Fuel Meals exclusively uses hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, wild-caught fish, and locally sourced, pesticide-free produce. Clients simply customize entrees to their taste and nutrient requirements, or they choose from a selection of predesigned dishes, such as sweet Thai chili salmon, stuffed turkey meatballs with whole-wheat penne, and a Tuscan sirloin burger with sweet-potato fries. Once delivered, the meals are stored in the fridge to be heated up as needed.

When hockey pundits discuss the career of Teemu Selanne, what will they turn to more?
His career as a Winnipeg Jet? Or his career as an Anaheim Duck/Mighty Duck?
That's a very touchy subject on the hearts of many Jets fans.
Maybe if the team had stayed in Winnipeg and not gone to Phoenix, Selanne would have played his entire career in Winnipeg, aside for escalating salaries in the mid-to-late 1990s.
Maybe he would have been the captain of a Jets team that had reached its full potential with the likes of Keith Tkachuk, Teppo Numminen, and Nikolai Khabibiulin and became a contender.
Alot of maybes there eh?
Thing is, aside from what Jets fans think and know, Selanne will be better known for his play in Anaheim than in Winnipeg.
Sure, his sensational rookie season of 1992-93 will forever be the benchmark for rookies in the NHL and something both the league, Winnipeg fans, and more importantly Teemu will never forget.
But he only played three and a half seasons in Winnipeg.
Yeah, just three and a half seasons.
He was extremely productive – 306 points (147 goals, 159 assists) in 231 games in a Jets uniform – but will he be remembered as a Jet first and foremost? Probably not.
Did he win a Cup in Winnipeg? No.
Did he win a Cup in Anaheim? Yes.
Did he play more than three and a half seasons in Anaheim? Yes – just over 10 seasons and a bit (including his will I/won't I bit in 2007-08). A successful time in Anaheim, where he has played over half his career – 871 points (410 goals, 461 assists) in 774 games.
But, when the formers tenth overall pick by the Jets in 1988 rolls into Winnipeg on December 17th, there will no doubt be cheers, celebration, and most importantly – a standing ovation – for the Finnish Flash, who for an entire season, made Winnipeg Jets hockey matter before they fled south a few years later.
Despite a stop in San Jose and a brief stop in Colorado, Teemu is a Duck and will forever be known mostly as a Duck.
But, in the hearts of Jets fans, he has, is, and will forever be one of the most famous Jets, alongside Hawerchuk, Hull, Steen, and Tkachuk.

Santa Monica, CA - March 4, 2003 - Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that the company has signed an agreement with legendary U.K.- based game designer Peter Molyneux. Under the terms of the agreement, the company has secured the exclusive worldwide rights to Molyneux's new project tentatively titled The Movies for the PC and all video game console platforms. The agreement also grants Activision the option to publish sequels and add-on products to the title.
The Movies currently is being developed by Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, whose last title, Black and White, sold almost 2 million units worldwide. Black and White topped PC sell-through charts around the globe and was a #1 best-selling game in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Slated for release in 2004, The Movies gives gamers the opportunity to run their own Hollywood movie studio from the silent days of the 1920s, through the advent of new technologies into the present and beyond. The game puts players in charge of a Hollywood dream factory where they decide which movies to make and the stars to make them. The player selects the scripts, directors, sets and movie stars before shooting the action and watching their finished movie on opening night. Players can manage the money, egos, tears & tantrums on their way to living the Hollywood dream.
"Peter is undoubtedly one of the most talented video game designers in the world, and Lionhead is one of the very few development studios with the knowledge and resources to develop a game that will allow players to fulfill the fantasy of building a movie empire," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios. "We are incredibly excited to have entered into this long-term partnership and are confident that this alliance will result in one of the most innovative and anticipated games of the next few years."
"Activision has always been synonymous with quality and innovation. The Movies offers a perfect opportunity for both of our companies to collaborate in the creation of a multi-million unit selling franchise," responded Peter Molyneux, managing director of Lionhead Studios. "A major factor in our choice of Activision as publisher for The Movies was its impressive attitude toward development and developers."
The agreement further underscores Activision's commitment to partnering with top development talent and expanding its product portfolio. The announcement follows the company's recent acquisitions of several high-profile intellectual properties including the sequel to Shrek, DOOM III, Lemony Snicket, QUAKE IV, XXX and the sequel to the Spider-Man movie. Over the past 14 months, Activision has also acquired five development studios - Treyarch, Gray Matter Interactive, Shaba Games, Z-Axis Ltd. and Luxoflux Corporation, and forged new alliances with Infinity Ward and Stainless Steel - each of which has created games that have sold in excess of a million units.
Prior to forming Lionhead Studios, Molyneux founded Bullfrog Productions. Bullfrog produced a legacy of acclaimed games including the first ever god game Populous, the popular strategy game Dungeon Keeper, and Theme Park, a simulation game that required players to manage all aspects of an amusement park. Each of these titles was a multi-million-unit seller worldwide.
Lionhead Studios is based in Guildford, Great Britain and was founded in 1997. The company's first game Black & White PC was released in 2001 and worldwide sales are now nearing the 2 million mark. Through its unique satellite scheme, the company currently has six products currently under development.
Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Activision, Inc. is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure products. Founded in 1979, Activision posted revenues of $786 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.
Activision maintains operations in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Scandinavia and the Netherlands. More information about Activision and its products can be found on the company's World Wide Web site, which is located at www.activision.com.
The statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements." The Company cautions readers of this press release that a number of important factors could cause Activision's actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements. These important factors, and other factors that could affect Activision, are described in Activision's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers of this press release are referred to such filings.

Trojan Seeks to Exploit, Create Blindspot in Online Banking
Recent reports from security firm Finjan have highlighted an emerging capability for malicious code. The URLZone Trojan has the ability to alter HTML pages for certain German banks when viewed through a browser on an infected system. As a result, the attacker employing the trojan can make large transfers to the accounts of "mules", who are often duped accomplices that launder transactions, without alerting the user of the infected system. The end result is that customers who trust only the information that their computer displays from their bank's web site might not know that they have been defrauded. It might take an account overdraw or some other out-of-band event to make them aware of the shortfall.
According to a recent report, the European Commission found that 81 percent of German users' transactions were conducted electronically. This could be a significant lead to understanding more about URLZone and why it works the way that it does. By targeting German banking sites, the trojan is operating in a niche in which it can all but assure that German customers will do business. Further, it seems that with such a heavy tendency to do business online, there is a decent chance that users would be comfortable, at ease, and trusting of what is displayed to them through the portal.
One software developer in Europe's financial software market has even suggested that reconciliation features have not been implemented in their code because European customers do not use checks as prevalently as US customers. At the convergence of these two behaviors exists an opportunity ripe for exploitation. Without paper statements to verify what is seen online, or the tendency to use those to perform reconciliation, there is no validation that the account is being accurately reported.
Even outside these assumptions, if customers are not diligent about reconciling perceived expenditures with the bank's record, then there is an opportunity for fraud to go undetected. With this trojan, the assault is simply on the HTML record shown in the browser, but certainly any electronic download from the bank's site could be altered, including importing transaction data to the user's desktop financial management software. Without the verification of an out-of-band record such as a paper statement, or a verifiable electronic record such as a cryptographically signed download, further advancements in trojan capabilities could continue to mislead customers.
The functionality built into URLZone is an escalation in the arms race between user security technologies and attacker capabilities. Attackers will continue to drive for new low-cost efforts to bypass user's protections, thus maximizing attacker profit and number of victims. This trojan targets a user base that is heavily engaged in online transactions and possibly less likely to verify transactions. It remains to be seen if this kind of attack will catch on within the malicious code community, or if the security and financial industries can fight back with solutions that make such attacks cost ineffective for the attackers.

Liquid Force's Summer Jam Wrap
A new event for 2013, the Liquid Force Summer Jam event was staged at GoWake Cable Park last weekend under clear skies and sunny weather. The event attracted a large number of riders from all ability levels as well as many internationals who stayed on after the Boardstock event 2 weeks prior.
After it was all settled and done Canadian Raph Derome showed why he is the current Transworld Rider of the Year with an impressive clean sweep of all the Pro Mens events that he entered – Jet Pilot King of the Kicker, Liquid Force Rail Jam and the Double Up 2 Tower Challenge. In the Rail Jam section Raph was a clear cut winner but the next 5 places were tightly contested with only 12 points separating 2nd place Mitch Langfield from 6th place Jamie Neville. James Windsor, Daniel Grant and Aaron Gunn filled the spots in between in what was a high quality final round that had all the spectators on the edge of their seats. Raph's clean heel 10 was a winner in the King of Kicker backed up by his double half cab roll which we saw him stomp at will all weekend. Daniels grabbed 900 was huge and clean and gave him a clear 2nd place behind Raph. Raph also showed a few secret water tricks in the 2 Tower Challenge – enough to put him ahead of the field again with a bag of huge kicker tricks and rail maneuvers. The Pro Mens Triple 1 Cable event was the only event Raph did not enter and this was taken out by Daniel Grant ahead of Matty Hasler and James Windsor
Daniel Grant continued to amaze everyone at these events with his uncanny and unequalled ability to compete at the top of the world level in both skate and wakeboarding sections. Whilst he is undoubtedly a great wakeboarder we pose the question that he is actually an even better skater. Daniel won every skate section on the weekend from a strong field that included Australia's best as well as USA riders Danny Hampson and Andrew Fortenberry. Australian Mayce Dipple climbed the podium also in many of the skate events which is reward for the countless hours he has been putting in for the last 12 months.
A quality Pro Womens field saw a number of different winners grace the top position across the contest events. Sophie Hogben had a great weekend with the win in both the Rail Jam and the King of Kicker sections. Courtney Angus took out the 2 Tower Challenge and Angie Schriber delivered what was necessary to win the Triple 1 Cable section. It was also great to see 2 women from overseas competing here, Melissa Marquadt and Tor Young.
Raph Derome commented many times during his trip about the quality and the number of groms competing here at these events and they didn't let anyone down again at Summer Jam. Amongst a huge range of talent, there were some notable outstanding events and performances. Sam Golledge won every Under 17 Girls event on the weekend and continues to improve almost daily. Patty Ryan stepped it up from Under 13 to Under 17 boys in the 2 Tower and King of Kicker events and had podium finishes, whilst the Under 17 Boys Rail Jam produced an exceptionally high standard of riding with 900s off the kickers, some tech rail riding and ollying onto the highest rails directly to backlip. In the end only 1 point seperated the top 3 finishes Busty Dunn, Zac Neville and Jacob Vinall in one of the tightest finishes we have ever seen.
Whilst all the kids continued to amaze and whilst the pros threw down everything they had we still had time for all the Amateur sections, skate, Women and Men, as well as the Open section and the new Social class. These divisions often form the backbone of these events and continue to attract many competitors who enjoy the "mate vs mate" nature of these contests with up to 10 riders on the water at any one time. These events underline the nature and the "fun" atmosphere of these contests and are the reason for the events and success of the Liquid Force Summer Series.
Summer Jam 2013 also saw the instigation of a completely new event and contest format – the Cable Cup. This took place on the Saturday afternoon and was a team contest between all the Cable Parks to crown the "Best Cable" park for that year. Each park nominated a 5 man team that consisted of a Pro Man and Women, an Under 17 boy and girl and 1 skater. It certainly created a lot of interest and friendly rivalry and was an entertaining event that saw Bli Bli take out the Cup from Cairns and Penrith. The winning members all received an individual trophy as well as prizemoney and Bli Bli gets to hold to perpetual trophy for a full season until the next Cable Cup contest is staged.
The Summer Jam was part of the Liquid Force Summer Series of wakeboarding that consists of 7 events throughout the summer and has 2 more rounds to go. Liquid Force would like to thank all supporting sponsors who made the event possible and included Jet Pilot, Double Up, ML, Jobe, LKI, Wake, Obrien, Red Bull, Malibu, GoWake and Gimmie Pop.

Cheney Gets Booed, Sheen Gets
An interesting contrast was provided last week with the American public's reaction to two very different high profile personalities, Charlie Sheen and Dick Cheney. Sheen appeared on a Friday night ABC talk show and Cheney threw the first pitch at a Washington Nationals baseball game.
Cheney was clearly booed by at least 80% of the attending fans at the RFK Memorial Stadium, yet the media reported a mixed reaction and the Washington Post went as far as to outright lie and claim the boos were a result of the bad pitch that bounced before the Nationals' Brian Schneider caught it, when in reality the cat-calls began as soon as Cheney's name was announced. The boos raged even though Cheney was accompanied by three injured US servicemen who had fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. What would the percentage have been if Cheney had walked out on his own?
Charlie Sheen told a Hollywood audience that he felt "the only real validation that I needed [for speaking out on 9/11] was being a tax paying citizen that loves my country."
For that he received warm applause and the audience did not react negatively at any point when Sheen discussed his stance on 9/11. Watch the video and check it out for yourself.
Baffled we were therefore to witness the same establishment mouthpieces that had previously slammed Sheen after his first appearance on The Alex Jones Show continue to erroneously report that Sheen's comments provoked a negative reaction from the American people.
The Slashfilm website stated, "The public attacked Sheen after asking questions about 9/11 on a national radio show. The general viewpoint being that he was just an actor, what right does he have to make such accusations."
The public did no such thing. The only people who attacked Sheen were rabid Neo-Con armchair columnists who threw their toys out of the pram and spit out vitriolic junior high mentality gossip about his private life.
The CNN poll which finished at 83% in support of Sheen and the popular website Bravo Charlie 9/11 go to prove that the majority of the American people were behind Sheen, just as an every increasing majority are against the anti-American agenda of Bush and his big government cronies.
The New York Post insulted over half of their readers when they called Sheen a part of the "9/11 gone-bonkers brigade," a Zogby poll showed half of New Yorkers believed the government were complicit in the attacks and 66% called for a new investigation.
Cheney was booed and Sheen was applauded, but the lapdog ministry of truth would try and flip reality 180 degrees in an attempt to offset their crumbling architecture of control and credibility.

If you've ever read my post on homemade Chex Mix, you know that I have a very specific method for eating it.
My friend Natalie was the best person for me to share a pre-made bag with because I only like the Chex & pretzels, and her favorite was the bagel chips & breadsticks.
So when my mom started making her own Chex Mix, I saw no reason for her to put in those silly little pale breadsticks & disgusting rye bagel chips.
And seriously - wheat Chex? Please.
For the birds, I say.
But she flat out refused, claiming plain corn Chex & pretzels was far too boring.
There had to be variety.
So.... I just continued to pick out the pieces I liked, and left whatever I didn't want.
(I used to do this with other things too. I was always getting yelled at for picking out all the M&Ms and raisins from a jar of Costco trail mix she kept in our kitchen).
Then my birthday came around.
My mother asked, "What kind of cake do you want?"
"Whatever - something chocolate. But I also want Chex mix - with only corn Chex. Not even pretzels."
She shook her head. "I wouldn't exactly call that a mix, but hey - it's your birthday."
Yep. Chex 'mix' with just corn Chex. She and my stepdad never let me live that one down. (Mr. Vittles eventually joined in on the fun as well, as it became a birthday tradition).
But I ate the entire batch by myself, and loved every second of it.
Only recently did it occur to me that the seasonings of Chex mix would probably transfer well to roasted potatoes.
But these aren't technically a 'mix' either .... I guess if you're feeling crazy you can throw in some bagel chips?
Snack Mix Roasted Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lb. russet or yukon gold potatoes, skinned & cut in 1" dice
- 2 T. canola oil
- 1 T. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 t. kosher salt
- 1/2 t. onion powder
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1/4 t. smoked paprika (or regular, is fine)
- 1/2 t. seasoned salt
- dash cayenne pepper
Preheat oven 400 degrees.
Combine oil with Worcestershire and spices in a small bowl or measuring cup. Skin & dice potatoes and place in large bowl. Cover with oil mixture, and toss to coat.
Spread out potatoes on a baking sheet greased with nonstick spray, and bake in preheated oven 45 minutes to one hour, stirring carefully with a heatproof rubber spatula every 15 minutes until done. Adjust seasonings to taste, and serve immediately. Serves 3-4

Hello Jonathan! I like the bit where the bees bake the hornets. They're very clever. They should write cookery books. They could dictate in bumwiggles.

oy veh.

Ok, so maybe the bees aren't that clever then. Except in Japan.
I don't know if there's such a market for bee's baking books in Japan. Not so sure I'm onto a winner any more.
However you may wish to note that, feeling the need to quantify 'not quite a pony', I have decreed a zebadonk to be slang for £23.50.
