| Michael, you don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that!
Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again.
|~ Fredo and Michael Corleone
Frederico "Fredo Corleone was a villain from The Godfather novel and subsequent movies. He was the second oldest child of Vito and Carmella Corleone, and the brother of Sonny, Michael, and Connie Corleone.
Early Years
Fredo was born in 1919 in the Hell's Kitchen part of New York City. He had been a sickly child, coming down with pneumonia at a young age.
Growing up Fredo briefly entertained the idea of becoming a priest. However after being abused by a priest at the seminary he dropped that idea and entered in to the family business.
The Godfather
Fredo was seen as the weakest of the Corleone men. When his father was the victim of an attempted assassination Fredo panicked and was unable to return fire, dropping his gun in the process.
Following the attempt Fredo was sent out west to Las Vegas to learn the casino business from Moe Greene. Fredo spent most of his time womanizing, leaving a trail of pregnant women in his wake. When his brother Michael came to convince Moe Greene to sell his business to the Corleone family. Moe didn't want to and dismissed Michael as a young punk. Fredo tried to defend Moe to his brother but Michael told him to never take sides against the family ever again.
Las Vegas
Fredo became underboss to his brother Michael after the death of their father. He only had nominal power in the family and resented being passed over for the leadership. After the death of Sonny - who Vito had been grooming to take over - Vito felt that Michael would be far better as Don instead of Fredo, who he never thought capable of being a successful leader. However he was a charismatic man and Michael used his skills to entertain important people conducting business with the family.
Some time after the death of his father Fredo had married Deanna Dunn. It was not a happy marriage, with Deanna humiliating Fredo at the reception for his nephew Anthony's first communion.
Fredo betrayed his brother to Nick Geraci and Hyman Roth, both of whom sought revenge against Michael Corleone. Geraci sought revenge for being forced to shoot his mentor Salvatore Tessio as well as having a plane he was flying in sabotaged by Corleone which caused it to crash. Roth - despite his protestations to the contrary - wanted revenge for the death of Moe Greene. He provided detailed information on the Corleones. This gave Roth's associate Johnny Ola the knowledge he needed to carry out a hit which led to Michael nearly being assassinated.
|I know it was you, Fredo – you broke my heart – you broke my heart!
|~ Michael Corleone
While in Havana Michael learned that Fredo betrayed him when Fredo accidently let it slip that he and Johnny Ola had been to a sex show in Havana. He confronted Fredo at a New Year's party in Havana, telling Fredo that he knew he was the traitor and that he broke Michael's heart. When the Cuban rebels forced Fulgencio Batista to resign Michael tried to convince Fredo to return to the US with him, however Fredo was too afraid to do so and fled on his own.
Michael soon came under investigation by a Senate subcommittee investigating organized crime. After arriving back at the Corleone house at Lake Tahoe Michael confronted Fredo, who admitted that he withheld information from Michael about the Senate Committee's lawyer being on Roth's payroll.
|Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?
|~ Michael Corleone
At that Michael decided to disown his brother, telling him that he no longer considered him a brother and that he no longer wished to see him. Michael told Al Neri that as long as their mother lived nothing was to happen to Fredo.
In 1959 Carmella Corleone died. Fredo came out to the services and was told that his brother would not see him, and was waiting for him to leave. Connie went to see Michael and convinced him to see Fredo again, saying he was lost and helpless without his family. Michael went to see his brother, seemingly forgiving him.
Death and Aftermath
However the forgiveness was a ruse. Michael had decided to kill Fredo now that his mother was gone. After he was allowed back in to the family Fredo became close to his nephew Anthony, going fishing with him. One day as he and his nephew Anthony were about to go out on a boat to go fishing, Connie came out and told them that Michael wanted to take Anthony to Reno, so Fredo and Al Neri went out alone.
While they were on the boat Neri shot Fredo in the back of the head, killing him. Neri then dumped the body overboard. Michael had been watching to ensure the deed was done. What he did not know was that Anthony also had seen the killing from his bedroom, resulting in a rift between father and son. Anthony told his mother Kay about the killing, years later she would tell Michael that Anthony knew and it was the reason why Anthony wanted nothing to do with the business.
The rest of the family did not know that Michael had ordered Fredo's death. They were all led to believe that Fredo drowned in an accident on Lake Tahoe.
|I've killed men, and I ordered men to be killed. No, it's useless. I killed... I ordered the death of my brother; he injured me. I killed my mother's son. I killed my father's son!
|~ Michael Corleone
The killing of Fredo was the one crime that truly troubled Michael. Over the years he was racked with guilt over ordering his brother killed. In 1979 Michael visited Cardinal Lamberto to warn him about the corruption in the Vatican. During the visit Lamberto gently encouraged Michael to confess his sins for the first time in 30 years. Michael told Lamberto that he had ordered Fredo killed. Lamberto told him that it was just that Michael suffered for his sins, and that even though he didn't believe Michael would change he still gave him absolution.
- The character of Fredo Corleone was played by John Cazale. Cazale was a good friend of Al Pacino. While the two together lived in a communal house in Provincetown, Massachusetts the two were cast in the Israel Horovitz play The Indian Wants the Bronx. Their work in this play resulted in Obie Awards for both men. Cazale played the lead in the Horovitz play Line, where casting director Fred Roos took notice of him and suggested Cazale to Francis Ford Coppola. Cazale also acted in plays with Robert DeNiro, who played the younger Vito in the second film.
- Cazale was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He died in 1978 and was buried in New Jersey. *Cazale was remembered very fondly by Pacino, who saw him as his natural acting partner.

This is a beginner's guide and glossary to distributing and promoting artists' film and video work. It will take you through marketing and materials that you will need, organisations that may be able to assist, to possible exhibition channels. Much of the information may seem quite obvious but it is often this kind of thing that can make all the difference. This is a starting point rather than an exhaustive guide, but it will give you some ideas you can then use to explore further.
This guide is divided into the following sections:
Unlike other media, where a slide or still image can give a sense of the whole work, film and video demands that people find a video deck or projector and invest time in watching it, which is not always an easy thing to get people to do.
The publicity material you send out will often be your first chance to give people an impression about the work, and you need to make sure that what you send encourages them to actually view it.
Once your work has been selected for exhibition, publicity material can help the people showing it to attract and inform an audience.
This section suggests some of the basic issues you should consider and the core publicity material that you will need to mount an effective promotional campaign.
Promotional materials can include:
• Previews of your work
• Stills
• Artists-statement
• Artists CV and biography
• a website
Essential details to include with all promotional material:
• Title of the work
• running time, other details (eg colour or black and white, silent, Dolby, etc), screening format (eg 35mm, 16mm, BetaSP, DVD, etc)
• year of completion
• your name
• copyright year and name
• your address
• your telephone number
• your email address
Note: The year to which you attribute the work should be the year in which it was completed, which isn't necessarily the year(s) it was made: the year of a film is the year it was published, and when copyright starts.
One of the most effective ways to disseminate work, especially internationally, is through a distributor who will represent your work to potential exhibitors and deal with the large amount of administration this involves.
Most distribution organisations that specialise in artists' film and video are non-profit and/or public-funded and their distribution activity is part of their cultural activities, often fulfilling a remit for access and advocacy. Many of these organisations were set up to provide an alternative model to commercial film distribution which is difficult for independents to access, especially those making work independently. All of the organisations listed in this section below deal with artists' work and as such do not limit their activities to cinema distribution. Other exhibitors, such as galleries, colleges and museums are equally important.
What can distributors do for you?
Distributors can't do everything, and it is better to think of them as working in collaboration with you. Most of them are non-profit organisations with limited resources and they cannot cover all bases. You need to be clear about what they can and cannot do at the start, and have a realistic expectation of the opportunities.
On the most basic level, having a distributor is having someone on your side who has a vested interest in promoting your work with the experience to give you good advice. Becoming part of a distribution collection, perhaps alongside historically important works, can also have a very positive association for your work. Curators and programmers frequently use distributors to access work and will approach them directly to see new work. They will also have relationships in place with exhibitors and buyers that are difficult for an individual to develop. For exhibition and sales they are able to deal with all of the administration involved and as they can represent large collections of work, they can be in a stronger position to negotiate better terms than an individual. It is important to note that the job distributors do is greatly enhanced by the quality of promotional material that you provide them with (see promotional materials section).
The main activities of film and video distributors are:
• theatrical distribution: hiring work for public exhibition in cinemas, galleries and museums
• non-theatrical distribution: hiring work to educational institutions and festivals sales: to collections, educational institutions, television stations and other broadcasters
Other services distributors may offer include:
advice, curatorial advice for those wishing to access work they handle, organisation of touring programmes and exhibitions, research and screening facilities.
Most distributors have a procedure for selecting the work that they take on, although some have an open access policy in which any artist can deposit work with them. Usually you need to submit a preview with supporting materials that will be considered by the distributor's acquisition panel. Each distributor has a slightly different character so criteria can vary significantly. Basic things they may consider are: peer and critical recognition, creative use of the medium, working practice, aesthetic quality and suitability in terms of other works in their distribution collection.
If your work is selected, the distributor is likely to issue a contract, the terms of which can vary widely; most will seek some exclusive rights, at least in their territory. As many of these organisations are non-commercial, there is usually a good amount of freedom left to artists to promote their work independently as well and it is usually possible for distributors to include special clauses in the contract when required by the artist. Contract periods usually run from two to five years but can be terminated on either side with notice. Distribution contracts will not usually indemnify artists if their work includes uncleared material, and in fact, they will usually state that this remains the artists ' responsibility.
Unlike mainstream feature distributors, organisations handling artists' work usually do not pay advances for the distribution rights; instead they will pay the artist a percentage of the royalties generated from the hire and sale of their work. The royalty percentage varies but is usually between 50% – 75% to the artist, and paid on a yearly basis along with an activity report detailing all of the screenings and sales. The fees charged by distributors to exhibitors for your work usually operate on an established price structure of some sort; some allow the artist to set the fees for the hire and sale of their work, and most allow some flexibility in consultation with the artist.
To effectively promote your work a distributor would require at least one film print (if relevant), a high quality video sub-master on DVcam, BetaSP or Digibeta (this copy will be used to dub exhibition copies from). They will also require good support materials including work description/artist statement, biography, stills, and if available a press pack.
Promotion activities by distributors fall into two types: reactive and proactive. The reactive distributors mainly trade on the strength of their collection and catalogue to attract curators and programmers to them. New works will be entered into the catalogue and may be previewed but will not be prioritised over and above other works in the collection. The proactive distributors will have a programme of promotion for new work, so for a period of time they will send out preview tapes, enter festivals and make special efforts to push it to curators and programmers. Apart from the new work aspect, distributors may also promote work in special interest areas such as women artists, gay and lesbian work, animation etc, and will actively assist curators and programmers to access the kind of work they are looking for.
Many distributors will enter work to festivals, but it is unlikely that they will deal with festivals that charge entry fees and they may focus on festivals that will pay a screening fee for the work (although this is not always the case). It is a good idea to discuss this with your distributor so that you can cover the festivals they don't deal with. Distributors will deal with all of the entry administration and provide the screening copy for festivals they cover. If there is an opportunity for the artist to attend the distributor may be able to assist but it is usually the individual's responsibility to pay their way.
Apart from festivals, the distributor will deal with other kinds of hires, mainly cinema and special event exhibition for which a fee per screening would be charged to the exhibitor. For gallery exhibition, which can be work shown on a monitor or projected, maybe as a loop, in an exhibition space, or a library / videotheque where the public can select and watch the work, distributors would charge a flat fee, reflecting the period of the exhibition and possibly the nature of the venue (funded / unfunded for example).
Sales are often agreed in consultation with the artist. There are a number of different kinds of sales; distributors mostly focus on institution sales but some allow artists to set a price for sales to individuals also. Most distributors only deal with unlimited 'editions' of work, so copies can be sold an unlimited number of times. A collection sale is the most expensive and would involve an institution buying the rights for public exhibition within their institution; they would receive a film print or a video sub-master and would hold rights for the lifetime of that object. For video a sale may confer rights to copy from the tape for exhibition purposes and to prolong the life of the sub-master. The cheapest sale is an institutional study copy that is intended for study use only in libraries and colleges. This is usually a DVD supplied for the life of the disk with no public exhibition or copying rights.
Most distributors also deal with sales rights for broadcast, again usually in negotiation with the artist. The terms of these sales can vary enormously from broadcaster to broadcaster. To negotiate this, the distributor will need to have information on all the clearances and the territories and rights that are available (see Television section for more details).
LUX publishes a short list of festivals that specialise in showing artists' moving image work. There are thousands of festivals in the world, so do your research – many more can be found on the internet, or subscribe to the LUX Scotland newswire for upcoming deadlines. Dates change from year to year, but as a broad rule submissions will open and close between six to two months before the event happens.
Most galleries do not have formalised application procedures for artists to submit work and make proposals and the reality is very few exhibitions happen through cold calling. First look at your personal network, do you have connections (however tenuous) with any curators/ galleries, then follow these up.
If you do not have any such connections (you should try and develop them) then your next step is research – look for galleries that show the kind of work you are making. Look at their previous shows and research their publicity to find out how they promote themselves and their projects, and if possible talk to other artists that have shown with them – and go to their openings. Be realistic about matching your career stage with the gallery – again look at the other artists they have worked with in the past.
Although every space has its own unique character it is good to be aware of the broad kinds of galleries that exist as this is often key to shaping their exhibition policy.
• Artist-run spaces. These are often unfunded, work with less established artists and are able to be quite flexible and reactive in their exhibition work and generally may be more accessible.
• Public-funded galleries. These may have a remit for supporting a particular kind of work as well as showing less established artists and giving the public an opportunity to see work they would not otherwise have access to. Due to their public-funded status most of these galleries will have a policy for submissions.
• Municipal galleries. These are usually council-run or council-funded spaces that are often more traditional in their exhibition programme, but will often focus on locally produced work.
• National galleries and museums. These work with very long lead times and usually focus on large-scale exhibition projects. Often they are curated by a team of curators, and they may have a dedicated film and video curator on their team. These spaces only usually work with invited artists in mid- to late career stages.
• Galleries for hire. There are also a number of spaces which are available for individuals and groups to hire to showcase their work on a daily or weekly basis, lists of these spaces in London can be found on the Artquest website at www.artquest.org.uk. If you are considering hiring an exhibition space, it might be more effective to look for a more unusual non-traditional space, which may have either an added resonance for the work or offer an additional attraction to visitors.
Most galleries do not have formal application processes, so check with them about their requirements in advance. Do not what ever you do turn up at the gallery unannounced and expect the curator to look at your work, as well as not making a very professional first impression most exhibitions are developed over time. When applying, do so in writing enclosing all of the necessary information and materials required, this should at least include preview DVD, statement about the work, technical information and CV. Also remember to include a cover letter explaining what the materials are, what you are proposing and why you are sending it to that particular gallery.
Limit your materials to those which are directly relevant to the proposal you are making. Remember that they may be looking at a number of applications at one time, large amounts of papers and long showreels could actually dilute the work your are proposing so keep it short and focused. For installation proposals, avoid being vague, clearly set out the technical configuration in relation to the particular space, include a realistic budget and explain how the submitted materials relate to the project. Be realistic in your proposal, most spaces do not have huge budgets to develop large-scale installation projects, so make sure the proposal matches the scale of the gallery you are applying to. Most galleries work to quite long lead times that can be anything from three months to two years in advance. In terms of decision making on proposals this can also take rather a long time, something in the region of 3-6 months is not unusual – so be patient.
Agencies are organisations promote and distribute artists' moving image work either specifically or as part of a wider programme of visual arts projects. They work with artists and venues to develop projects from conception to exhibition. Their activities may involve professional development support, commissioning, fund-raising for projects, project management, technical production, catalogue production, marketing, co-ordination of exhibitors and touring. They often work closely with exhibitors during the development of projects and primarily focus on gallery-based exhibition. Each organisation has different selection criteria so contact them directly for more information.

Audi Q8 Billed as Range Rover Sport Rival
As part of Audi's expanding lineup of crossovers and SUVs, the German luxury brand will launch a new flagship people mover targeted squarely at the Range Rover Sport.
Confirmed in a recent interview by Audi R&D boss Wolfgang Dürheimer, the new model will sit atop the SUV range much in the way the A8 does for the brand's luxury sedans. Styling will be key, with a sloped coupe-like roofline, though overall the Q8 will be noticeably larger than the Q7.
SEE ALSO: 2014 Range Rover Sport First Look
The Q8 will be the VW group's largest SUV offering. Based on the same platform that will underpin the next Q7, as well as the next-gen Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg, it's also planned (though not confirmed) to form the basis of SUVs for both the Lamborghini and Bentley brands.
Audi is also rumored to be planning a Q6 model to take on the BMW X6.

It may have been a foregone conclusion that Poland under the control of Jaroslaw Kaczynski's Law and Justice Party – because of its Euroskeptic and nationalist positions – would quickly join Viktor Orban's Hungary as a "bad boy" of the European Union.
In recent months, especially since the Law and Justice Party's electoral victory last October, Poland has stood out as a leading naysayer to the E.U.'s calls for sharing the burden of receiving the wave of refugees arriving from Syria and the Middle East. Polish criticism of the open borders policy championed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been stinging.
For instance, before the election, Kaczynski raised alarms about the possibility that the Mideast refugees might carry diseases. "There are already signs of emergence of diseases that are highly dangerous and have not been seen in Europe for a long time: cholera on the Greek islands, dysentery in Vienna. There is also talk about other, even more severe diseases," he said, though European health authorities have not reported any widespread outbreak of infectious diseases connected to the migrants.
Poland also has been quick to take a "we told you so" stand on the New Year's Eve mass violence and sexual assaults allegedly perpetrated by youths from North Africa and the Middle East, including asylum seekers, outside the Cologne main train station in Germany. Polish media cited the five-day blackout in Germany on news about the New Year's Eve violence to question the autonomy and social responsibility of German journalism.
There are other reasons behind Polish vehemence on the refugees. First, from the standpoint of its population, Poland is already overrun by refugees and economic immigrants from Ukraine, which has suffered from civil war and economic collapse since February 2014 when a violent putsch toppled the government of President Viktor Yanukovych and created a crisis with Russia.
Official statistics put the number of Ukrainian refugees in Poland at about 400,000, as of May 2015, but unofficial estimates are much higher, more than a million today. The Ukrainians are putting pressure on the local job market at a time when there is still a net outflow of ethnic Poles going abroad in search of work. Secondly, admitting Muslims runs directly against the new government's stress on protecting and nurturing traditional Catholic religious values.

Johnny Marr
Johnny Marr is an English musician and probably best known as the dynamic guitarist-arranger-songwriter behind the Smiths, who redefined and ruled U.K. pop in the 1980s. He is a master of melody, layering, and texture and has brought his own instantly identifiable genius to the proceedings ever since. Featuring in collaborations with The The,The Electronic, the Pretenders, Johnny Marr and the Healers, Modest Mouse, and more recently The Cribs. He has played a Fender Jaguar since 2005, and in 2012 Fender issued the Johnny Marr Signature Fender Jaguar, with modifications including a body based on the 1954 Stratocaster and the wider neck of a 1954 Stratocaster.
Unrivaled Quality and Craftsmanship
The Johnny Marr Jaguar is equipped with dual Custom-Wound Bare Knuckle pickups at the neck and bridge. Bare Knuckle pickups are wound and made entirely by hand, in-house, by a dedicated team of pickup winders at privately owned business based in the South West of England. Each pickup is custom made, which gives the Johnny Marr Jaguar its unique sound.
The Johnny Marr keeps the traditional Jaguar shape, but features a custom Maple shape neck based on Johnny's '65 Jaguar. The beautiful Rosewood fingerboard features 22 vintage-style frets, with pearloid dot inlays. The chrome hardware contrasts against the Black finish and makes the guitar visually striking

More craziness in Minuteman Land, and I'm more than happy to report the goings on for those of you pelt me with deranged e- and v- mail, insisting that these are just well-meaning Americans doing what our government is too afraid to.
Some are well-meaning, if misguided, but as I've shown time and again, there are so many nut jobs in the ranks that it was just a matter of time before we'd get this: A pair of You Tube videos that purport to show a San Diego border Minuteman nicknamed Lil' Dog shooting and hitting an illegal border crosser – and the grave where the victim is claimed to be buried.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has determined the grave shown in one video is a fake, but it is still investigating whether Minutemen were shooting at Mexicans – perhaps while they were still on the Mexican side. (The sheriff's action was first reported by Leslie Berestein of the San Diego Union-Tribune, a reporter I hired and supervised many years ago. Good to know she has retained the low tolerance for knuckle-dragging zealots I tried to instill in her.)
One video has been removed from You Tube because of a "terms of use violation," but one was still up as of yesterday afternoon at www.youtube.com/thecockroachhunter. Shot through a grainy night-vision scope it shows a silhouette moving on a ridgeline and contains dialogue of two men purporting to track the individual. One is clearly on a walkie-talkie; the other is next to the video recorder.
"What's your '20' (i.e.: location)?" asks one of the men.
"He's up there on the smuggler's trail," replies the other.
Then they appear to lose sight of the person. Suddenly the figure reappears from behind a rock.
"I'm going to take the shot!" one man yells, and then follows two flashes of light and the sound of two gunshots. The silhouette is no longer visible. "I (expletive) got 'em, dude! I (expletive) got 'em! … Dude, what are we gonna do?"
The other man replies, "Get the shovel, get some lime, and, hey, grab me a 12-pack, too, while you're up there."
The end of the video is a daylight shot of a grave in the desert marked with stones and a crude white cross.
As you recall, I was near Lil' Dog's semi-permanent outpost near Campo earlier this year. Deborah Courtney, the Minuteman member who was with me, told me Friday that she purposely didn't take me to meet Lil' Dog that day because they considered him a little too wacky. As for the provenance of these videos, Courtney just doesn't know. "We think it was theatrical. We hopeit was theatrical."
Even if it is theatrical, it still shows you how sick some of these individuals are. And to think that I once momentarily had second thoughts about labeling them "gun-toting vigilantes."
Meanwhile, in Orange County, Courtney and the other former/current/never-were (depending on who you believe) Minuteman board members fighting founder Jim Gilchrist have encountered their own bit of strangeness.
Their attorney, Richard Gilbert, filed a lawsuit in Superior Court against Gilchrist in the ongoing battle over who really isThe Minuteman Project: Gilchrist or Courtney, et al. And indeed, Courtney filed under the corporate name, The Minuteman Project.
Shortly after her filing, Courtney was reviewing the file online when she discovered that another attorney, Guy Mailly, had filed a motion to substitute as the attorney for The Minuteman Project. Mailly is Gilchrist's attorney.
To Courtney and Gilbert, it appears Mailly is trying to pull a fast one – hijack the lawsuit by getting himself declared the attorney of record.
In court on Friday, Judge Randell Wilkinson seemed a little shocked, too, when Mailly stood at the plaintiff's table. He told him to move down to the defense table.
This sounded like one of the more audacious legal maneuvers I'd ever heard, but Mailly was unrepentant late Friday afternoon. He says he wrote Gilbert a letter saying he was the legitimate attorney for the Minutemen and "they didn't get back to me, so I filed the motion."
Mailly believes that Wilkinson will ultimately declare him the rightful attorney. "We will proceed and we will succeed, and then we will dismiss the case," Mailly told me. Next hearing: Sept. 19.

Jeff Gordon Trevor Bayne
October 25, 2011 by staff
Jeff Gordon Trevor Bayne, Clint Bowyer Talladega victory bore 100 and Richard Childress Racing Chance took his Cup win. The true drama of the stock of Trevor Bayne provided, however, and Jeff Gordon.
We get at Bayne Gordon was instrumental in the Dayton 500 history at the time that both of them by working together early in the morning.
Gordon, however, may be what each and hearing all week. That only work with the order of a come down from the Ford Racing ford and fords.
But perhaps he had lost and the drawing up and partner Gordon was prefigured worth a shot.
And before the last restart of the race and Jeff Gordon radioed Bayne plan, they should at the same time the last run.
Yeah man courageous and Bayne said they did not agree with Gordon that expect him unto you. We are good, Gordon said, "they believed him. But I think other plans."
Ever does it happen until the partnership. Bayne who said he was acting, he hints at the very order of Gordon left high and dry. Gordon Bayne perfected by disappointing 15th place and was finished 27.
Bayne posted on Twitter just to expose the nation to act.
@ Tbayne21 I am of this one also does not rejoice in it came to pass … CALCULATED. We should be able to go with they about (us).
@ Tbayne21; first I should like to tell more and upright before him, and the work of the last @ JeffGordonWeb I will therefore that a strong man armed in the bailing.
Gordon moved is understandably after the race.
"I was to go with (Casey Mears)," he said, "unless I am with the back lined Trevor agreed to it, I said, 'Hey, we can not go with rather than the person. This kind of got a fast car, we already have of acting well and she became brainer no. But more should have known better. "
When he was asked, if Gordon Bayne followed orders the pain he answered: "It seems to me, such as is it."
But it does not terminate here.
Kevin Woods, Corporate Communications here Tuesday at Roush Fenway, even in this kind of tried to twitter a little here.
When asked him if there is anything in the power of the hand of Bayne indicated that, on the other what he had said before the Bayne.
@ @ PRKevinRFR angiecampbell_ work which they could do, but not … Let no one be available from the teammate Gordon, lest any man …
@ @ PRKevinRFR angiecampbell_ made matters might be done before she knew the end of Matt. For he would not be 48,88,5 Gordon
I'm not sure it is not here but in short, now that the thing that I hear of his departure, as it seems Roush Fenway Trevor Bayne high and dry.
Bob on twitter Pockrass When they told SceneDaily.com that is Roush Fenway Read Newmark President.
"No one of a certain instruction to Trevor Roush gave what he had to do in the event."
AFTERMATH UNCLEAR little leaves unanswered the questions and the truth.
We bow not even command it so much that I may go work with Roush Fenway teammates teammates fords or that the work he was able!
Did it not been told specifically Trevor Bayne and help your teammate Jeff Gordon instead?
We fans want to see man to see the chariot of the manufacturer or device drivers wish to make to win the chariot?
Is everything to be blamed on either car at length becomes the norm that the car in restricted at e? When these kinds of society it is necessary to the Gentiles, If any man come in to play, what is wonderful is the mind?
He will at least, to do what is important in also tracks such pain.
Steve O'Donnell, Vice-President of We acknowledged optimistic to say this "(1) Superspeedway we know to do the work (s) and we'll of course, after the interval."

Author | Indrani Sinha | Tuesday, Aug 05,2008 8:48 AM
Encouraged by the tremendous response received last year, Friends FM is doing a re-run of its 'Saat Din e Saat Gaadi' contest. The initiative is to induce more trials and thereby, capture a larger listener base. The contest had generated nearly one million SMSes in 2007.
The contest is on air from August 4 to 18, wherein seven lucky Friends FM listeners will get the opportunity to win seven brand new Maruti 800 cars. All one needs to do is tune in to the FM station and SMS the correct answer to the question asked on air.
The two-phased marketing promotion included a teaser, followed by the actual contest being revealed through radio promos, print advertisements in Ananda Bazaar Patrika and The Telegraph, hoardings in Kolkata, TV commercials on Star Ananda and Sangeet Bangla. In addition to these, there on-ground activities are being held at the Mani Square Mall in Kolkata.
Commenting on the initiative, Jaideep Banerjee, National Head-Programming, Friends FM, said, "Now that the RAM results over the past couple of weeks have been positive for us, we would like more listeners to sample our station, and we are confident that we will be able to retain a large chunk and thereby, create a bigger listener base. Also, we would like to reward our loyal listener base, which is growing each day."
Rohit Nyss, Head-Marketing Services, Friends FM, added, "Since the launch of the channel, our focus has been on our core TG, which has reflected fantastically in the RAM results, wherein we are the No. 1 in SEC AB, 20+, male/female consistently in the RAM results over the past several weeks, and we felt it was time to now broaden the base and induce more trials for our station. The timing is perfect as we wanted to do a promotion only after getting a realistic picture of where we stand in the RAM results without doing any marketing activities. The results have proved that the product is appreciated and well accepted among listeners."

But, reports CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone, the stone-cold case may have been solved.
A man just arrested for kidnapping the children so long ago is their own grandfather, Marvin Maple. He'd moved from Tennessee to San Jose, Calif., where he and the children lived under new names.
"We have never stopped loving them," their mother, Debbie Baskin, told reporters. "We have never stopped praying for them, and that was an answered prayer, just to know they were alive."
"We believe they were home-schooled to keep them from, one, registering in schools, giving social security, date of births, who their mother and father are, any type of information," says Rutherford County Sheriff's Department Cold Case Unit Lt. Bill Sharp.
Maple and his wife, who died two years ago, disappeared with Christi and Bobby after a nasty custody battle. They claimed the children had been sexually abused by their parents.
"These charges were false," says Dan Goodwin, a spokesperson for the sherrif's office. "No abuse had occurred."
"My feelings for my dad is that I hope he finds help. There is no punishment that could give us back 20 years," Debbie Baskin reflected.
Debbie and Mark are hoping for a reunion, but they understand their son and daughter may need time to adjust.
"They were only, they were seven and eight when they were kidnapped," Mark says, "so they have a memory of us. And I'm asking them to access that, jst to go back in their minds, and think about the times we had together as a family. They have been living a lie for 20 years."
Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, says Mark has the right idea.
"You do it slowly, and you do it cautiously," Allen told co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez on The Early Show Friday. "We have a top psychologist who's involved in helping with the reunification. These kids will be talked to, and it's just a slow, cautious process.
"In situations like this, we don't know what they've been told over the past 20 years. We don't know what they believe, whether there's been a kind of brainwashing happening. So, you just have to be patient."
Allen says the case proves, "You just don't ever close these cases.You continue the search. And in this one, somebody in the public provided a key piece of information that led to the identification of these kids and their abductors."
The Baskin children are now 27 and 28, and still living in San Jose.
Authorities say they're doing well, both have successful careers, but are still trying to process all that's happened.
Marvin Baskin was expected to fly back to Tennessee Friday to face kidnapping charges.

Already this year, 29 states and New York City are reporting high levels of influenza-like-illness (ILI), and another nine states are reporting moderate levels of ILI. This season, 18 children have died from flu-associated deaths.
Influenza is a tiny frequently mutating package of genetic material (RNA) surrounded by an envelope.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Influenza A is a more severe type than B, and H3N2 refers to proteins on the envelope. (H)emagglutinin allows the virus to attach to your cell, and (N)euraminidase allows it to cleave and attach to another cell.
The severity of flu seasons vary, based on the type of flu. This year's predominant flu (76% of cases) is very similar to a type that caused a severe season in 2003-2004, when the flu shot wasn't a good match and there were more than 40,000 associated deaths.
What is happening now? So far, more than 15,000 cases have been reported, with more than 2,000 hospitalizations last week alone.
The number of unreported cases is likely at least three or four times that amount. There is widespread activity in 41 states, and18 children have died. Most of the severe cases are due to secondary complications (the flu weakens your immune response) including pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
More from Fox: Do Vitamins C And D Prevent Flu?
Can I still get a flu shot? This year's flu shot is a good match, which means it will be effective more than 60% of the time. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ensured a supply of 135 million doses, most of which have been distributed, and physicians such as myself still have a good supply. I am still encouraging people to get their shot, since it takes about 3 weeks to generate immunity, and the peak of the season is likely still at least three weeks away.
Who should get a flu shot? The CDC recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months get a flu shot. This is in order to create a herd immunity, decreasing the amount of circulating flu virus to protect those most at risk (including the very young, the very old, pregnant women, and those with chronic illness).
How do I know if I have the flu? Most clinicians make the diagnosis clinically, though we can use a nasal swab to test for the flu if we aren't sure, and the test is approximately 60% accurate. Influenza-like illness (ILI; a clinical diagnosis) includes symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, nasal congestion, and muscle aches.
More from Fox: Why Don't People Get Vaccinated?
What should I do if I have the flu? In cases that are particularly risky, it makes sense to consider a course of Tamiflu within 48-72 hours following the onset of symptoms to reduce severity. If you are sick, you should stay home from school or work. Wash your hands frequently, and avoid sneezing and coughing in public areas if possible. Influenza is a respiratory virus that can spread through the air as well as by touch (fomites), where it can live for up to a day.
When will flu season peak? This year's flu is happening early, which is characteristic of this strain. The rate of ILI is likely to remain high this year. We haven't seen anything this bad since 2003-2004. The difference is that this year we have a vaccine available that matches the strain. Expect this year's flu season to peak at the end of this month or next.

Masha Marjanovich MFA ISCSelected artist profile information for this contemporary American Sculptor
View all works of art
About Masha MarjanovichBefore receiving her MFA from the University of Washington, Masha Marjanovich studied European art in France, Hungary and Yugoslavia. The classical influences firmly rooted her art in the realm of figurative expressionism, allowing for stylistic versatility that nevertheless retains her signature aesthetic of the sculptural form. Through her study of music and dance helped her master the skill of expressive movement that makes her sculptures breathe with life.
Masha`s early opus was themed on ancient mythology, and explored the ceramic medium. She won her first award from the Museum of Ceramic Arts in Yugoslavia. Shifting focus to contemporary themes, Masha mastered the mediums of cast resin, stone and bronze. She exhibited her work in Seattle, Los Angeles and Santa Fe, attracting interest of private collectors. Her sculptures now grace public and private collections in the US, Europe and Australia. Her clients include Sheraton Hotels, Ramsay Hospitals, Sydney Olympics Committee, Laguna Beach Hotel, University of Queensland, Seketin Beauty Salon, Roma Italian Restaurant, The Little Snail Restaurant, Dr. Harold Lancer, Dr. David Villareal, Lang Walker, and others. The latest sculpture in Masha`s mother-and-child series will be unveiled next year at the new Canberra Women and Children`s Hospital.
Masha is a professional member of the International Sculpture Center.
Artist Statement of Masha MarjanovichExcerpt from the Interview with Masha Marjanovich by D. Bombek, the New Woman Magazine.
Q: Who should say what is art and what isn?t?
A: I am glad you asked that question. This has been a particularly touchy issue since the advent of abstract art. Although professional art critic has a very useful function in enhancing our understanding and appreciation of an artwork, good art should speak equally to everyone even without such interpretation. So the bottom line is that everyone should have the right to value and assess art, because art is indeed a very personal experience. If you find that a work of art moves you in some way, then it is unquestionably valid as art. The remainder of the process of evaluating art is academic.
Q: What inspires you?
A: I am always amazed at the beauty found in nature, where form and function are intertwined in an aesthetic balance. The shape of a slender woman?s arm, a sweeping bird wing, a delicate flower petal, these forms are not only beautiful, but very expressive as well. They can relate a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences to which everyone can relate.

Reviews of work by Masha MarjanovichStar Treatment - by Claire Low, The Canberra Times
Sculptor Masha Marjanovich has created the 1.2m-high bronze work for the new Canberra Women and Children?s Hospital. It was commissioned by the Starlight Children?s Foundation and was presented to ACT Health Minister Kathy Gallagher at the Star Ball fundraising event at the Hotel Realm.
Marjanovich said the sculpture is a tribute to the charitable work of the Foundation. In her sculpture, the woman holding the child symbolically represents the support of the Foundation for seriously ill children. ?The child is reaching for a star, a symbol of hope for recovery. The sculpture is an ode to a new start in life for children, " said Marjanovich. She explained that the star was designed to gently curve around the figures as it rises, so that the sculpture would impart an uplifting feeling of hope and joy.
Companies that pledge their support to the Foundation will be given a star plaque on the sculpture base to honour their generosity.
Reaching for a Star is part of Marjanovich?s mother and child series, which includes sculptures at the North Shore Private Hospital in Sydney and Lancer Clinic in Beverly Hills. ?Mother and child motif is one of the oldest themes in art history, because it relates the most beautiful human experience, unconditional love, ? said Marjanovich.
Reaching for a Star will be unveiled at the new Women and Children?s Hospital next year.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Entertaining, weak ending
Entertaining movie. It has got some nice stuff for sf-fans, like 3d-objects created on the drawing table and made to come to life on the fly. I love the combination of futurism and middle ages (take that, steam punk! nothing beats a bow for a weapon!). Maybe that's what it makes far more interesting than it's Japanese foster parent, Battle Royal. The Lord of the Flies theme of innocent children and grown up violence in a remote place of beautiful nature combined with the reality game element of The Running Man and the cliché but ever more relevant distinction of cultural decadence versus natural purity does it every time. In that sense also in the line of Avatar. Connotations with colonialism and Nazi Germany are not to be missed. All stuff that comes much too late off course, in 2012, where critique on colonialism has become cliché and reality shows are, well, a reality. That together with the insignificant ending, that explains and solves nothing, renders the movie in mere entertaining. No, I must admit, VERY entertaining. And no no no, Jennifer Lawrence has nothing to do with that :).
Enthiran (2010)
Great movie, but skip the dancing sequences
What is there to say, amongst these lyrical reviews by Indian fans of 'Superstar Rajinikanth'?
Yes, it is an interesting movie. As is to be expected from a movie about robots from 'the East', where robots are becoming a familiar sight in peoples daily lives, while in the West robots for most people are still science fiction.
And yes, the special effects are pretty cool, although they do look a little bit cheap here and there (try to watch them without sound and you will see what I mean). It's definitely the first time that I saw a swarm of humanoid robots, and director Shankar (who also wrote the screenplay) definitely gets the most out of this ingenious concept, both visually and conceptually.
I fact, the idea and its elaboration are so cool, it's easy to forgive the filmmakers the a bit too simple story and rather flat characters. Girlfriend Sana is only beautiful (although rather extremely beautiful) and her only goal in life is to get the attention of her boyfriend. The helpers of the inventor are only (very) silly and start a big mess by falling in the trap of the bad guy and the bad guy is... well.. dressed in black and jealous and all that.
That's OK. But what is UNFORGIVABLE, for Western eyes, is that the middle of the coolest action, everybody just starts dancing! Why would they do that? The kitsch Bollywood music videos that you find yourself suddenly watching are really silly, are totally unrelated to style of the rest of the movie, take the flow out of it and they are just WAY TOO LONG.
And why are they situated all over the world? The story is situated exclusively in India, but all of a sudden you see the main characters dancing in Peru,of all places. Why? Did the director need an excuses for having a nice trip to some other continents? Or do Indian spectators don't mind this incongruity? Or, more interesting still, do they actually appreciate it?
As reviewer Mahesh Kothamangalam on IMDb said: 'The songs are spectacular. Shankar shows the audience some of the best places in the world all for a few bucks.' Now, that's another way to look it! Maybe I should try to reevaluate my all too rational European expectations and judgment, but when people start dancing in an otherwise cool movie, I really have a hard time doing that. Hello cultural difference!
So, if you don't like musicals (or just don't want them to be mixed up in your sf movie), skip the silly dancing and singing parts. You will see, this is actually a great movie. And if you want to know what the future of cinema is, don't skip the dancing parts. India with 1.2 billion people is one of the largest emerging economies. Bollywood probably really IS the new Hollywood.
The Illustrated Man (1969)
I don't understand
I don't understand why this movie is rated so low. I think this a really great movie. It is strange, surprising, original and funny. It combines several genres and narratives. I like the main character, the silent and gruff illustrated man and the way he is filmed in the quiet surroundings of the lake and I like the futuristic design in some of the other scenes. I have always had weakness for these 'Canterbury tales'-like stories within a story and I especially like this film because the stories within he story are so diverse, while the movie does not become fragmented. The movie reminds me a bit of the 'books of blood' from Clive Barker, which consists of stories of 'ghosts', inscribed on the skin of a man ('written in blood').
If you like to be surprised, watch this movie!

Of course we know BMW as an automobile and motorcycle maker, but the German brand also lends its engineering prowess to other forms of transport. This rather fetching bicycle is a perfect example of this, and its bold design and aggressive looks are perfect for the modern mountain rider.
The 2013 BMW Mountain bike All Mountain ($3900) is ideal for the trail enthusiast thanks to its hydro-formed aluminum frame, hydraulic disc brakes, 30 gears, Shimano parts, and full suspension. Finished with chunky tires and weighs in at just 13.4KG.

Daniel Craig promotes Spectre with an old school 007 look that would put Roger Moore himself to shame.
With only 8 weeks left until it's release, the Spectre promo train keeps on rolling. This is normally a time reserved for TV spots and magazine spreads – nothing really worth reporting on. But the Spectre team has thrown a curve ball with a blast from the past in its new promo poster. Continue reading Craig's Bond Tuxes Up in New "Spectre" Poster


text: The human is a complex and generally unruly being and is in need of restriction. Boundaries of various kinds are necessary for human stability and progress but on the other hand can be imprisoning and the cause of limitation of human spirit and ambition. As with all other things a balance has to be struck to allow individuals and nations to prosper and achieve true freedom and progress. The boundaries that limit human freedom are analogous to those that limit national freedom. The individual human is part of humanity as a whole as a global family and nations are a part of the world physically and in every possible way. Those who limit their and their people's freedom and prosperity are living not only in colonially defined physical and socio-economic cages but also in colonially created mental-spiritual cages.

Rube Goldberg Machine
Jason Sinning, Saad Badat, Vincent Carbone
Entry 1
I decided to create a Rube Goldberg Machine for my twenty percent project.I chose this project because it is a fun and active project. It uses a lot of thinking skills to move the object where you want it to go and how you want it to get there. I get to work with my friends on this project which makes it fun.
What I want to learn from this project is advancement in mechanics. This could help me learn more about how things work and how they move.
Rube Goldberg Machines could help make a career out of engineering. They show how some mechanical engineering works. It shows chain reactions which can be used.
Entry 2
The simple task at the end of our Rube Goldberg machine is going to be mentos falling into a two liter coke bottle and then all the soda will explode out of the bottle. Today Vincent brought in a roll of duck tape.
Entry 3
The information I learned to help complete my project was by watching different YouTube videos. I also got ideas from the internet to help me figure out what should I have done with my Rube Goldberg machine.
Entry 4
What I did was make a drawing of a Rube Goldberg Machine, I also figured out a way to put the Mentos in the coke.
The car pulls the block which releases the ball. Then the ball goes down the ramp, into the cup. The ball then hits the lever making another ball go up, hitting a button on the car which makes it go forward and knock the Mentos into the coke.
The questions I answered were like. How am I going to put the Mentos into the Coke? Also how am I going to use the pulley?
Entry 5
Today we started building our machine. There were many challenges. We didn't have all the materials that we needed though today. We did face some challenges of getting some parts to work.
Entry 6
Today the machine we used was a pulley. We also used a lever to shoot a golf ball in the air. We will work on the machine more and keep updated.
Entry 7
Today we got our first two stages done. We had most of the materials that we needed. It was a very complicated process.
Entry 8
Today we got our first three stages done. It took a while to get through them. It was a very complicated process but we were able to get it done.
Entry 9
Today we decided to get rid of one part of the machine which was the lever. We are going to replace it but we don't know with what.
Entry 10
Today we changed a lot of our machine. We got rid of some stuff. We are still in the fixing phase. We will have more updates troughout our entries.
Entry 11
Today we were not able to do much with the limited amount of materials that we had. We couldn't really get anywhere. There is still a lot of work to get done.
Entry 12
Today we got part of our new stage done. We used a pulley and two cups. The baseball will fall into the cup and the cup will fall down. That is all we have so far. We will work on more next week.
Entry 13
Today we tested most of our phases. We got the pulley and string to work along with the baseball rolling into the cups. We are still coming up with ideas for our next stages. We are going to use a moving car to to do something else but we don't know what it should do yet. We will keep you updated.
Entry 14 - 15
Today we decided to change things up. We replaced the car that moves when the button on it gets pressed with the remote controlled car and when a string pushes the joystick forward the car will move forward. This will probably finish off the rest of our machine. We will probably finish soon.
Entry 16
Today we were able to make are new idea partially work. We started on it and we are now modifying it. We had a problem with the amount of weight to use to pull the joystick to make the car move. Then we will be able to finish our machine.
Entry 17
Today we were able to finish and present our machine. It all worked but when we did the ending it was pretty disappointing. It didn't explode, it just fizzed a little bit. But it still worked.
Entry 18
Our project did turn out as I expected. I expected it to be a lot more. But it wasn't because of all the changes that we made that were smaller than the original plans. Honestly I didn't learn too much. I did learn a bit about mechanical engineering like how things move and how they move with different objects involved. This project didn't really want me to pursue this subject much more. It was a very complicated process that took a long time and I didn't really like it. But I still liked this project because I got to work with my friends which made it more of a fun project to do.

Christopher Parsons & Adam Molnar, Watching Below: Dimensions of Surveillance-by-UAVs in Canada (2014) (Executive summary) (full report not available online).
Overview Edit
This report responds to the questions of how and why Canadian authorities are adopting Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and provides an outline of the current Canadian policy network that is investigating the privacy issues linked to authorities' uses of UAVs. In particular, the goal of this report is to contextualize the current uses of UAVs in Canada, and to consider the drawbacks, laws, and politics that are influencing the adoption of UAVs by Canadian authorities. The report considers where work is needed to develop democratically accountable and privacy-protective UAV policies in Canada, and issues a set of policy recommendations concerning safety, privacy, policing, and governance issues linked to UAV-based surveillance operations.

Anyon extends Vale stay
By Amanda Cornforth
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Port Vale goalkeeper Joe Anyon has agreed a new two-year contract at the club.
Port Vale goalkeeper Joe Anyon has agreed a new two-year contract at the club.
Anyon, 20, has impressed at Vale Park after stepping in to replace the injured Mark Goodlad in December and his performances for the League One side have even led to rumours linking him with a move to bigger clubs.
"It's been difficult because I've just got into first-team football. I've been playing games and that has brought interest from other clubs," he said.
"If I had gone somewhere else I probably wouldn't play but here I've got a great chance of coming back next year as number one."
Manager Martin Foyle added: "This is great news for the club because Joe is a winner.
"The lad has been magnificent since Mark Goodlad's injury and he has the right attitude and mentality to play at the highest level."
Meanwhile, defender Michael Walsh remains unsure about his future at the club.
Walsh has made nearly 200 appearances for Vale since he made the switch from Scunthorpe in 1998 but has spent six weeks on the sidelines with an injured foot, which he feels may have restricted his chances of extending his contract.
"I love it here, but whether or not I get offered a new contract remains to be seen," he said.
"I will work hard until the end of the season and then who knows?
"Before I did my foot at Doncaster I felt really sharp - probably back to my best - but that seemed to break it up a bit."
