Scholarly Inquiry and Evidence Based Nursing
Three semester hours, theory only. (FL)
Scholarly inquiry focuses on the introductory use of the research process in the development of nursing knowledge and practice. Steps in the research process are detailed. Research questions are explored with regard to theoretical underpinnings, methods of data collection and analysis, and the interpretations and use of study findings in the care of individuals, families and communities. Published research reports are critically analyzed to determine the usefulness of findings in nursing practice. The importance of scientific integrity and maintaining ethical standards in research are highlighted. The roles and responsibilities of nurses as researchers and scholars are examined. This is a writing intensive (WIN) course for generic BSN students. Prerequisites: Successful completion of NURS 3315, NURS 3525 and NURS 3665.

Concluding Founders week was the Friday evening rally in the
fieldhouse. Eric Fife, missionary director of the Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship, spoke. A massed choir from the Twin City churches sang.
The theme for the week was "The Church in a Changing World," relat-ing
the church's ministry to the contemporary world.
March 9-13 has been named Poli-tical
Emphasis week. A busy sched-ule
has been planned, culminating
in the all-school general election
on Friday, March 13.
Dr. Walfred H. Peterson, pro-fessor
of political science will in-itiate
the week's activities with a
review of Lord of the Flies during
the chapel hour Monday. At 8 p.m.
Monday, March 9, there will be a
discussion of the implications of

problems, arrangements have been
made for adding an extra day to

February 29 leap year party, will
center around the auctioning of
box lunches prepared by all female
attenders. Each box lunch is to be
distinctively decorated by its crea-tor,
those best decorated being
auctioned first.
Coupons distributed at the door
will be the bartering medium. Bid-ding
will necessarily be restricted
to men, but the door monitors
will allot the coupons indiscrimin-antly.
Rumor has it that faculty enter-tainment
is being considered in
addition to the auctioning and
eating of box lunches, student en-tertainment,
turn-about games and
informal mixing.
The social committee is provid-ing
refreshments and supervising
auctioning; the academic commit-tee
is preparing the program and
activities; the athletic committee
is decorating; the religious com-mittee
is publicising; and the cul-tural
committee is cleaning up.

The Late Edward Avey
Leaves His Impression
Mr. Avey is dead. He was active in campus life for not
quite five semesters, yet he left an impression that will not
soon be forgotten. This editorial is not intended to be an un-seeing
eulogy making a man great after his death; it is intend-ed
to be a memorial for a well-liked and deserving teacher.
It seemed that Mr. Avey was too impressed with the life
he shared with others around him to become interested only
in himself. He did not present an imposing figure or a deep,
commanding voice. He demonstrated his serious concern with
academics, but he never allowed his chosen specialty to blind
him to value in other areas. He walked around being very much
himself, and that satisfied both him and those around him.
Students in his classes came to know his rumpled suits and
the nervous twitch in his nose. His English heritage was very
evident to everyone in his accent and his choice of words. The
CLARION staff remembers his weekly analyses of the paper,
containing both droll praise and salty criticism.
We on the campus were familiar with only one part of
Mr. Avey's life and work. As a youth he was employed as a
reporter for two newspapers in his native England. When a
young man he served the British crown as an officer in the
Indian navy. After university and theological training he labor-ed
as pastor of two churches in the Canadian province of Bri-tish
Columbia. During his pastorates he wrote many articles
for various Christian publications and a book, The Story of
Christianity. It was not until the fall of 1961 that he joined the
Bethel faculty.
Even the fact that he was only 48 years old when he died
offers a tribute to him. His role in each of his varied endeavors
was meaningful. His entrances and exits were quiet and un-dramatic,
but he contributed something when he was present.
His short life was marked with a series of efforts to help those
around him.
Our faith makes dread of death foreign to us; that same
faith likewise banishes sorrow for the dead. We feel rather
sympathy for his family and a sense of personal loss. Although
it is neither new nor original to urge constructive attitudes
and activities as a proper expression of memorial, this is pre-cisely
what should be done. Morbidly dwelling upon the un-pleasantries
of death is neither intelligent nor helpful. Thought-ful
reflecting upon the life of one who has died is both reason-able
and useful. Acting to perpetuate this reflection in other
lives is a lasting tribute.
In Tribute
The Lord,
in mercy, reaches down and
touches the heart
of tortured man;
in grace, reshapes his aimless life and
gives his peace and purpose;
in power, energizes his fruitless talent;
in love, demands from him
supreme devotion.
A man,
Edward Avey,
arrested by the Touch and
filled with the Strength,

with a writer's inkhorn by his side."

Four Bethel graduates spent

I do not agree that election of

Several questions: Can a student
body of 800 individuals be "broadly

chairmen? Are the current select-ed
chairmen kept in isolation so
that students cannot approach
them with ideas about "what kind
of campus life they plan?" Would
elected heads be more representa-tive
to their voting public?
Interest for the senate cannot
be drummed up through advertis-ing

Campus life is much like civis life
—most people are just not inter-ested

the Lake District in England they

Bryant spent the three months
studying at the Divinity school,
New college at the University of
Edinburgh. His studies and the
historical sites were to him the
most valuable parts of the trip.
Bryant studied dogmatics and
New Testament under T. F. Tor-rance
and others.
He attended the church of Dr.
Alan Redpath, Charlotte Chapel,
and spent Thanksgiving at the Red-path
home. He lived in a "dig" two
blocks from the one-time home of
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, also only
a short distance from the birth-place
of Robert Lewis Stevenson.
Bryant and the others stayed in
a home in the Scottish highlands
and saw Dunsinane Hill. At Glamis
Castle, Tschetter and Doerkson
met Lady Strathmore. They were
allowed to freely explore the med-ieval
castles at Doune where they

Governor George Wallace of Ala-bama
in a speech at the University

Encountering Governor Wallace
in person was a new and stimulat-ing
experience for those of us who
have only met him before through
the national press, especially Time
magazine. Speaking in a somewhat
southern accent and in a rather
unemotional manner, the governor
presented the south's case.
"We in Alabama are concern-ed
about the rise of autocratic
government," he said, in oppos-ing
the bill from a states rights
continent with Carmen, including
a visit to Sweden.
Tschetter and Doerkson visited
the Holy Land after meeting in
Alexandria, Egypt.
While the four were in Scotland,
they visited a doctor and ex-mis-sionary
friends of Carmen, who
participated in the first two at-tempts

In developing his ideas, Wallace
presented a brief outline of the
history of western civilization cen-tering
around the evolution of in-dividual
dignity and ehe acquisi-tion
of private property.
These were seen as unique and
sacred concepts of the western tra-dition.

threats to private property is an-other
evidence of this process.
"Our forefathers came here to pro-tect
the rights of property ... If
we are going to abandon our heri-tage
let us do it out in the open,"
he appealed. The Civil Rights bill
"destroys the right of private pro-perty."
When, however, the governor
made an effort to come out of the
realm of abstract ideas to present
day American life, he evidenced
an amazing ability to evade reality.
He dwelled long and hard on the
virtue of life in Alabama. And it
seemed that the most fortunate of
all Alabamans were the happy
Negroes. One began to wonder why
any Negroes would ever leave this
He was obviously reminiscing
of a life and home that he loved.

The implications of the organi-zation
of this section of his speech,
however, were clear: King is be-ing

treatment of these events
was tragically unrealistic.
Honesty prevents a denial of
the governor's obvious love for our

in football and basketball. The conference also recognizes champions
in tennis, golf and track. Bethel can win these, too, if the teams have
the desire to win. It would be great to see Bethel take top honors
in every sport in the first year of the new conference.
Phil Bolinder, senior and co-captain of the basketball team, suf-fered
a knee dislocation while fighting for a rebound in the Northland
game. Bolinder says he will suit up for the last game, although Coach,
Healy will decide whether or not he will play. Bolinder practiced with
the team on Monday, exercising his knee and practicing his shooting.
These two games will be his and fellow co-captain Roger Olson's last
appearance on Bethel's team.
Both co-captains have provided enthusiastic leadership this year.
Though neither has started regularly, they have kept the team in a
winning attitude as the season's record witnesses. The last game of
the season will be on the home court against Northwestern of Iowa
Friday night at 8.
I take over this column with a great sense of expectancy. I know
you will expect me to give you the inside story on the "how's" and
"why's" of sports events at Bethel. This is what I will strive to do. I
will try to give you more than just statistics and names—I want to
deal more with team and school spirit. I want to find out why one
of our teams is losing and, in the right way, expose this problem
so it can be remedied.
I want to find out why one of our teams is winning and try to per-petuate
this spirit. I want to find out why a part of our intramural)
program works successfully and why another part does not, and let
you know why so that the best can be achieved in sports. The attitudes
and opinions of the players, captains, coaches and spectators are im-portant.
But I cannot do this alone. I expect a lot from you. When some-thing
impresses you, whether in a positive or a negative way, come
and talk to me about it. If it is a valid point, I will discuss it in the
column. Help me make this column one that will be a positive help'
to sports at Bethel.

St. Paul Bible Edges Royals
In Founders Week Match
Bethel's wrestler's lost their
first meet after two victories be-fore
a Founders week crowd last
Friday. St. Paul Bible college,
earlier the victim in Bethel's first
victory, defeated the Royals 14-13.
In the opening match Bob Baffa
lost his first match in his last four
starts on a decision to his 123-
pound opponent. In the 137-pound
division, Ron Harris gained a 5-0
decision and tied the score 3-3.
Mike Peterson, wrestling in the
137-pound class, pinned his oppon-ent
to give the Royals 5 points
and an 8-3 lead. Doug King was
decisioned by a 6-2 count by his
147 pound opponent, and the Roy-al's
lead was sliced to 8-6.
Keith Davis battled to a 3-3 tie
in the 157-pound class to keep the
slim lead. Ron Bergman was then

Former Merrill Lynch executives get less prison than requested
Former Merrill Lynch executives get less prison than requested
Two ex-Merrill Lynch bankers convicted in a scheme involving a sham sale of Enron barges were sentenced to far less than the government requested today, causing white collar criminal defense attorneys to hope this will herald a better day for their clients.
James A. Brown, former head of the bank's asset lease and finance group and who was convicted of lying and obstructing justice along with conspiracy and fraud in the barge deal, was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison. He also must undergo one more year under court supervision and pay $840,000 in fines.
Daniel Bayly, the former global head of the investment banking division at Merrill Lynch, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison, a six-month supervised period and similar fines of $840,000.
The probation department and prosecutors had asked for more than 32 years in prison for Brown and more than 14 years for Bayly for their roles in helping Enron defraud its shareholders by pumping up the bottom line with false profits from a "sale" of three energy-generating Nigerian barges to the bank.
U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein allowed both Connecticut men to be released on bond and to voluntarily surrender to prison when and where the Bureau of Prisons tells them to appear. That will likely be in the next few months. The judge suggested minimum security facilities for both.
Defense attorneys were generally heartened by the sentences today. They have railed even louder against the federal sentencing guidelines since Dynegy trader Jamie Olis was sentenced to 24 years in prison here in Houston, largely because the sentencing demanded high prison terms if a lot of money was lost in the overall deal.
The U.S. Supreme Court has since given judges the ability to treat the guidelines as simply advisory and Judge Werlein did still work within their framework but more loosely than the government had recommended.
"The sentencing guidelines are finally beginning to drift away. Judges all over America are tired of it," celebrated Mike Ramsey, Ken Lay's lawyer. "This was the unwholesome issue of the unnatural union of Ted Kennedy and Strom Thurmond."
Judge Werlein found a low-level of monetary loss which greatly reduced the possible prison terms.
The judge found that though the government thought Enron shareholders lost $43.8 million when the defendants conspired to pretend a loan from Merrill Lynch was really a sale, the judge said he couldn't really determine the loss. Instead he used an alternative figure of $1.4 million, the gains from the crooked deal.
"Its all driven by the loss figure. That's what makes these cases so difficult when it comes to sentencing," said Robert Mintz, a New Jersey based ex-prosecutor who follows Enron. " If one conference call can make a defendant complicit in what ends up being a multimillion dollar fraud . . . it can theoretically drive sentencing guidelines through the roof. "
Mintz characterized Werlein's loss ruling as "measured restraint."
But Werlein had other reasons for going below the government requests for harder prison time.
The judge said white collar criminals are deterred by shorter sentences and can't "tolerate" the same kinds of long sentences as other felons.
And he said he was impressed by some 70 letters written by family and business associates in support of Bayly, whose stellar reputation the judge called Boy Scout-like. The jurist also said he was impressed by Brown's support and how he'd made a successful life out of troubled family beginnings.
The judge called the barge sale scam a "rather small and benign" fraud in the constellation of Enron fraud.
Werlein said he wanted to keep the punishments in the barge case commensurate with ones other Enron defendants obtained in plea bargains. He noted that ex-CFO Andrew Fastow, a chief mastermind of the sham barge sale, would only face a maximum of 10 years in prison.
"This experience has been devastating," Bayly told the judge. He said he's tried to conduct his life with the greatest integrity and respect for others and he's thankful for the support of his family and friends.
Bayly had asked to be sentenced to probation and to work at two charities he chose.
Brown asked for probation or a light sentence. Brown told the judge this has been a difficult time for his family but "more than ever before I learned to enjoy life and the simple pleasures.
Both men will appeal the convictions and sentences.
Just as the defendants wanted probation, prosecutors had asked for stiffer sentences.
"He presents himself to you as a victim," said prosecutor Kathy Ruemmler said of Bayly. "There is not one iota of acceptance of responsibility."
Prosecutor Matt Friedrich wanted the judge to send a stronger message to Wall Street. "Our position is there is no benign fraud when it comes to playing God with the reported earnings of publicly traded companies,"Friedrich said.
The three remaining defendants in the Nigerian barge case, bankers Robert Furst and William Fuhs and Enron's Dan Boyle, are to be sentenced in May.
Court papers indicate the suggested sentences for them range from about seven years in prison for Fuhs to life in prison for Boyle, who was also found guilty of making false statements.
Boyle is the only ex-Enron executive among the bunch and the judge did indicate that he blamed those at Enron more and that the bankers joined the conspiracy in the course of their regular work.
Defense attorneys have high hopes Werlein will keep these prison sentences short as well.
"In my view, this is the first judicial speed bump on the Enron prosecutorial raceway," said Dan Cogdell, the defense attorney who successfully represented Sheila Kahanek, former Enron worker acquitted in the Enron barge trial.
"Werlein was careful, thoughtful and courageous to recognize that the government's plea bargaining with the likes of Fastow can not help but scale the sentences of individuals less involved and less culpable . . It's a new foundation for sentencing. It is, hopefully, a recognition of what is fair is fair," Cogdell said.

Joel David Coen[1] (born November 29, 1954) and Ethan Jesse Coen[1] (born September 21, 1957), known informally as the Coen brothers, are American film directors, screenwriters, producers, and editors. Their films include Blood Simple (1984), Raising Arizona (1987), Barton Fink (1991), Fargo (1996), The Big Lebowski (1998), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), No Country for Old Men (2007), Burn After Reading (2008), A Serious Man (2009), True Grit (2010), and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013).
The brothers write, direct, and produce their films jointly, although until The Ladykillers (2004), Joel received sole credit for directing and Ethan for producing. They often alternate top billing for their screenplays while sharing film credits for editor under the alias Roderick Jaynes. They have been nominated for twelve Academy Awards together, plus one individual nomination for each, winning Best Original Screenplay for Fargo and Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for No Country for Old Men.
Early life
Joel and Ethan Coen were born and raised in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis.[2] Their mother, Rena (née Neumann), was an art historian at St. Cloud State University, and their father, Edward Coen, was an economist at the University of Minnesota.[3] Their family was Jewish.[4]
When they were children, Joel saved money from mowing lawns to buy a Vivitar Super 8 camera. Together, the brothers remade movies they saw on television, with a neighborhood kid, Mark Zimering ("Zeimers"),[citation needed] as the star. Their first attempt was a romp entitled Henry Kissinger, Man on the Go. Cornel Wilde's The Naked Prey (1965) became their Zeimers in Zambia, which also featured Ethan as a native with a spear.[5]
It is claimed the brothers' Jewish upbringing was seldom related to their films' subjects or stories, with some exceptions, such as A Serious Man (2009), whose title was translated into Hebrew as "The Good Jew". Joel notes that: "in regards to whether our background influences our film making... who knows? We don't think about it... There's no doubt that our Jewish heritage affects how we see things."[4]
Joel and Ethan graduated from St. Louis Park High School in 1973 and 1976, respectively.[citation needed] They both also graduated from Bard College at Simon's Rock in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.[2] Joel then spent four years in the undergraduate film program at New York University, where he made a 30-minute thesis film called Soundings. Ethan went on to Princeton University and earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy in 1979.[2] His senior thesis was a 41-page essay, "Two Views of Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy".[6]
Personal lives
Joel has been married to actress Frances McDormand since 1984. They adopted a son from Paraguay, named Pedro McDormand Coen. (Frances and all her siblings were adopted.)[citation needed] McDormand has acted in six of the Coen brothers' films, including a minor appearance in Miller's Crossing, a supporting role in Raising Arizona, lead roles in Blood Simple and The Man Who Wasn't There, her Academy Award winning role in Fargo, and her starring role in Burn After Reading. She also did a voice-over in Barton Fink.
Ethan is married to film editor Tricia Cooke, and they have two children: daughter Dusty and son Buster Jacob.[7][8]
Both couples live in New York City.[9]
After graduating from New York University, Joel worked as a production assistant on a variety of industrial films and music videos. He developed a talent for film editing and met Sam Raimi, who was looking for an assistant editor on his first feature film The Evil Dead (1981).[citation needed]
In 1984, the brothers wrote and directed Blood Simple, their first commercial film together. Set in Texas, the film tells the tale of a shifty, sleazy bar owner who hires a private detective to kill his wife and her lover. The film contains elements that point to their future direction: distinctive homages to genre movies (in this case noir and horror), plot twists layered over a simple story, a dark humor, and mise en scene. The film starred Frances McDormand, who would go on to feature in many of the Coen brothers' films (and marry Joel). Upon release the film received much praise and won awards for Joel's direction at both the Sundance and Independent Spirit awards.[citation needed]
Their next project was Crimewave (1985), directed by Sam Raimi and written by the Coens and Raimi. Joel and Raimi also made cameo appearances in Spies Like Us (1985).
The brothers' next film was Raising Arizona (1987), the story of an unlikely married couple: ex-convict H.I. (Nicolas Cage) and police officer Ed (Holly Hunter), who long for a baby but are unable to conceive. When a local furniture tycoon (Trey Wilson) appears on television with his newly born quintuplets and jokes that they "are more than we can handle", H.I. steals one of the quintuplets to bring up as their own. The film featured Frances McDormand, John Goodman, William Forsythe, Sam McMurray, and Randall "Tex" Cobb.
Miller's Crossing, released in 1990, starred Albert Finney, Gabriel Byrne, and John Turturro. The film is about feuding gangsters in the Prohibition era, inspired by Dashiell Hammett's novels Red Harvest (1920) and The Glass Key (serialized in 1930).
The following year, they released Barton Fink (1991); set in 1941, in which a New York playwright (the eponymous Barton Fink played by John Turturro) moves to Los Angeles to write a B-movie. He settles down in his hotel room to commence writing but suffers writer's block until he is invaded by the man next door (John Goodman). Barton Fink was a critical success, earning Oscar nominations and winning three major awards at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d'Or.[10] It was their first film with cinematographer Roger Deakins, a key collaborator for the next 15 years.
The Hudsucker Proxy (co-written with Raimi) was released in 1994. In it, the board of a large corporation in 1958 New York City appoints a naive schmo as president (Tim Robbins), to sabotage the firm's own share price, so the board could later purchase their company's stock cheaply to retain ownership. However, their plan backfires when the new president invents the hula hoop. The film bombed at the box office ($30 million budget, $3 million gross in the USA), even though it featured Paul Newman and Jennifer Jason Leigh, and despite its having received good reviews by audiences in the intervening years.[citation needed]
The brothers returned to a more familiar theme with the crime thriller Fargo (1996), set in their home state of Minnesota. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), who has serious financial problems, has his wife kidnapped so that his wealthy father-in-law will pay the ransom. His plan goes wrong when the kidnappers deviate from the plan and local cop Marge Gunderson (McDormand) starts to investigate. Produced on a small budget of $7 million, Fargo was a critical and commercial success, with particular praise for its dialogue and McDormand's performance. The film received several awards, including a BAFTA award and Cannes award for direction, and two Oscars: a Best Original Screenplay and a Best Actress Oscar for McDormand.[citation needed]
In the Coens' next film, The Big Lebowski (1998), "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges), a Los Angeles slacker, is used as an unwitting pawn in a kidnapping plot with his bowling buddies (Steve Buscemi and John Goodman). Well received by critics,[11] it is now regarded as a classic cult film.[12]
The Coen brothers' next film, O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), was another critical and commercial success. The title was borrowed from the Preston Sturges film Sullivan's Travels (1941), whose lead character, movie director John Sullivan, had planned to make a film with that title.[13] Based loosely on Homer's Odyssey (complete with a cyclops, sirens, et. al.), the story is set in Mississippi in the 1930s and follows a trio of escaped convicts who, after absconding from a chain gang, journey home in an attempt to recover bank heist loot that the leader has buried. But they have no clear perception of where they are going. The film also highlighted the comic abilities of George Clooney, who starred as the oddball lead character Ulysses Everett McGill (assisted by his sidekicks, played by Tim Blake Nelson and John Turturro). The film's bluegrass and old time soundtrack, offbeat humor, and digitally desaturated cinematography made it a critical and commercial hit.[citation needed] The soundtrack CD was also successful, spawning a concert and a concert DVD of its own (Down from the Mountain (2000)) that coincided with a resurgence in interest in American folk music.[citation needed]
The Coen brothers next produced another noirish thriller, The Man Who Wasn't There (2001). Set in late 1940s California, a laconic chain-smoking barber (played by Billy Bob Thornton) discovers a way to blackmail his wife's lover and use the proceeds to invest in a dry cleaning business. The film's twists, turns, and dark humor are typical of Coen films, but here the slow pace and dead end roads look demonstrate that the film is meant more for enthusiasts than casual audiences.[citation needed]
Intolerable Cruelty (2003), starring George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones, is a throwback to the romantic comedies of the 1940s. The story focuses on hot shot divorce lawyer Miles Massey and a beautiful divorcée whom Massey managed to prevent from receiving any money in her divorce. She vows to get even with him while, at the same time, he becomes smitten with her. Intolerable Cruelty divided the critics; some applauded the romantic screwball comedy elements, while others wondered why the Coens would wish to subject audiences to their take on this particular genre.[citation needed]
In 2004, the Coen brothers made The Ladykillers, a remake of the Ealing Studios classic.[citation needed] A professor, played by Tom Hanks, assembles a team to rob a casino. They rent a room in an elderly woman's house to plan the heist. When the woman discovers the plot, the gang decides to murder her to ensure her silence. The Coens received some of the most lukewarm reviews of their careers in response to this movie. Much of the criticism centered on the idea that a relatively faithful reworking of an existing classic, in contrast to the broader genre homages that made up the bulk of the brothers' prior work, did not provide the creative latitude they needed to place their distinctive stamp on the work.[citation needed]
No Country for Old Men, released in November 2007, closely follows the 2005 novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy. Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), living near the Texas/Mexico border, stumbles upon, and decides to take, two million dollars in drug money. He then has to go on the run to avoid those looking to recover the money, including sociopathic killer Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), who confounds both Llewelyn and local sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones). This plotline is a return to noir themes, but in some respects it was a departure for the Coens; with the exception of Stephen Root, none of the stable of regular Coen actors appears in the film. No Country has received nearly universal critical praise, garnering a 94% "Fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes.[14] The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, all of which were received by the Coens, as well as Best Supporting Actor received by Bardem. (The Coens, as "Roderick Jaynes", were also nominated for Best Editor, but lost.) It was the first time since 1961 that two directors (in that year, Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise for West Side Story) had received the honor of Best Director at the same time.[citation needed]
In January 2008, Ethan Coen's play Almost An Evening premiered Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company Stage 2 and opened to mostly enthusiastic reviews. The initial run closed on February 10, 2008, but the same production was moved to a new theatre for a commercial Off-Broadway run. The commercial run began in March 2008 and ran until June 1, 2008 at the Bleecker Street Theatre in New York City, produced by The Atlantic Theater Company[15] and Art Meets Commerce.[16] In May 2009, the Atlantic Theater Company produced Coen's Offices, as part of their mainstage season at the Linda Gross Theater.[citation needed]
Burn After Reading, a comedy starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, was released September 12, 2008; it portrays a collision course between a gym instructor, spies, and Internet dating. Despite being released to mixed reviews, it debuted at number one in North America.[citation needed]
In 2009, they directed a television commercial titled "Air Freshener" for the Reality Coalition.[17][18]
A Serious Man was released on October 2, 2009; a "gentle but dark" period comedy (set in 1967) with a low budget.[19] The film is based loosely on the Book of Job[citation needed] and the Coen brothers' own childhoods in a Jewish academic family in the largely Jewish suburb of Saint Louis Park, Minnesota.[19] Other filming took place in late summer 2008 in some neighborhoods of Roseville and Bloomington, Minnesota, at Normandale Community College, and at St. Olaf College.[citation needed] The movie went on to be nominated for the Oscars for Best Picture as well as Best Original Screenplay.[citation needed]
True Grit (2010) is based on the 1968 novel of the same name by Charles Portis.[20] Filming was done in Texas and New Mexico. Hailee Steinfeld stars as Mattie Ross along with Jeff Bridges as Marshal Rooster Cogburn. Matt Damon and Josh Brolin also appear in the movie.[21] True Grit was nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.[22][23]
Ethan Coen wrote the one-act comedy Talking Cure, which was produced on Broadway in 2011 as part of Relatively Speaking, an anthology of three one-act plays by Coen, Elaine May, and Woody Allen.[citation needed]
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) is a treatise on the 1960s folk music scene in New York City's Greenwich Village and very loosely based on the life of Dave Van Ronk.[24] The film stars Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan.[25] It won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it was highly praised by critics.[26]
The Coens also contributed to the screenplay for Unbroken, along with Richard LaGravenese and William Nicholson. The film, directed by Angelina Jolie, and based on Laura Hillenbrand's non-fiction book, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (2010), was released on December 25, 2014.[27]
The Coens' next feature film is entitled Hail, Caesar! about a fixer in 1950s Hollywood, starring Coen regulars George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton, as well as newcomers Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, and Alden Ehrenreich.[28] It was also confirmed that the Coens would be co-writing the screenplay for the upcoming spy thriller Bridge of Spies about the 1960 U-2 Incident, with playwright Matt Charman. The film is set to be directed by Steven Spielberg for an February 2016 release.[29][30]
Planned and uncompleted projects
In a 1998 interview with Alex Simon for Venice magazine, the Coens discussed a project called The Contemplations, which would be an anthology of short films based on stories in a leather bound book from a "dusty old library".[31]
In 2001, Joel stated that "a Cold War comedy called 62 Skidoo is one I'd like to do someday".[32]
The Coens had hoped to film James Dickey's novel To the White Sea.[33] They were due to start production in 2002, with Jeremy Thomas producing and Brad Pitt in the lead role, but it was canceled when the Coens felt that the budget offered was not enough to successfully produce the film.
As well as their own planned projects, the Coens have collaborated on productions with other directors. One, reported in 2005, is Suburbicon, a comedy starring and directed by George Clooney. It will be written and produced by the Coens.[34]
In 2008, it had been announced that the Coen brothers would write and direct an adaptation of Michael Chabon's novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union (2007). They were to produce the film with Scott Rudin for Columbia Pictures.[35] In the fall of 2012, however, Chabon told Mother Jones that "the Coen brothers wrote a draft of a script and then they seemed to move on", and that the film rights had "lapsed back to me".[36]
In 2009, the Coen brothers stated that they are interested in making a sequel to Barton Fink called Old Fink, which would take place in the 1960s, around the same time period as A Serious Man. The brothers also stated that they have had talks with John Turturro in reprising his role as Fink, but they were waiting "until he was actually old enough to play the part".[37]
In 2009, Turturro also stated that he would be interested in making a spinoff of The Big Lebowski about his character, Jesus, but the Coens have not publicly confirmed the likelihood of this project going forward.[38]
In 2011, the brothers were reportedly working on a television project, called Harve Karbo, about a quirky Los Angeles private eye for Imagine Television.[39]
In December 2013, the Coens stated in an interview that they are working on a new musical comedy centered around an opera singer, though they have said it is "not a musical per se". In the same interview, they revealed they are also working on a sword and sandals drama film set in ancient Rome (later revealed to be a humorous reference to Hail, Caesar!, their latest film which actually has nothing to do with Rome, but is set in 1950's Hollywood).[40]
Production company
The Coen brothers' own film production company, Mike Zoss Productions located in New York City, has been credited on their films from O Brother, Where Art Thou? onwards.[41] It was named after Mike Zoss Drugs, the brothers' beloved hangout when they were growing up in the Twin Cities. The name was also used for the pharmacy in No Country for Old Men.[42]
Directing distinctions
Up to 2003, Joel received sole credit for directing and Ethan for producing, due to guild rules that disallowed multiple director credits to prevent dilution of the position's significance. The only exception to this rule is if the co-directors are an "established duo". Now that they are able to share the director credit (as an established duo), the Coen brothers have become only the third duo to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. The first two pairs to achieve this were Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins (who won for West Side Story in 1961), and Warren Beatty and Buck Henry (who were nominated for Heaven Can Wait in 1978).[citation needed]
Only six other directors have won three Oscars for the same film, a distinction the duo shares with Billy Wilder, James L. Brooks, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Peter Jackson and later Alejandro González Iñárritu in 2015.[citation needed]
With eight Academy Award nominations for No Country for Old Men, including Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, and Film Editing (Roderick Jaynes), the Coen brothers have tied the record for the most nominations by a single nominee (counting an "established duo" as one nominee) for the same film. Orson Welles set the record in 1941 with Citizen Kane being nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Screenplay (with Herman J. Mankiewicz). Warren Beatty tied Welles' record when Beatty was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Screenplay for Heaven Can Wait in 1978 and again in 1981 with Reds. Alan Menken also then achieved the same feat when he was nominated for Best Score and triple-nominated for Best Song for Beauty and the Beast in 1991.[citation needed]
The Coen brothers often cast certain actors in their films, most frequently Frances McDormand (Joel's wife), Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Jon Polito, and John Turturro. They have worked twice with Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin, and at least three times with Michael Badalucco, George Clooney, Richard Jenkins, and Stephen Root.
The Coens similarly tend to work with certain crews as well, especially Roger Deakins, Jess Gonchor, Skip Lievsay, and Mary Zophres. They notably used cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld on their first three films, through Miller's Crossing, until Sonnenfeld left to pursue his own directing career. Deakins has been the Coen brothers' cinematographer for all their subsequent films except Burn After Reading, on which they employed Emmanuel Lubezki,[43] and Inside Llewyn Davis, on which they employed Bruno Delbonnel.[44]
Sam Raimi is another frequent collaborator. He helped write The Hudsucker Proxy, which the Coen brothers directed, and the Coen brothers helped write Crimewave, which Raimi directed. Raimi took tips about filming A Simple Plan (1998) from the Coen brothers, who had recently finished Fargo. (Both films are set in blindingly white snow, which reflects a lot of light and can make metering for a correct exposure tricky).[citation needed] Raimi has cameo appearances in Miller's Crossing and The Hudsucker Proxy. Raimi and the Coens met when Raimi directed The Evil Dead (1981), for which Joel was hired as an assistant editor.[citation needed]
Carter Burwell has scored all of the Coens' films, aside from Crimewave (1985), although T-Bone Burnett produced much of the traditional music in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Ladykillers, and was in charge of archive music for The Big Lebowski.[citation needed] Skip Lievsay handles the sound editing for all of the Coens' films.[citation needed]
Most of the Coens' films have been credited to the editor "Roderick Jaynes", an alias which refers collectively to the two Coen brothers.[45] Tricia Cooke, Ethan's wife, was also an editor on three of their films,[which?] after working as assistant editor on several of their earlier films.[which?][citation needed] Michael R. Miller edited Raising Arizona and Miller's Crossing.
William Preston Robertson is an old friend of the Coens[citation needed] who helped them with re-shoots on Blood Simple and provided the voice of the radio evangelist. He is listed in the credits as the "Rev. William Preston Robertson". He has provided vocal talents on most of the Coens' films up to and including The Big Lebowski. He is also credited in Raimi's Evil Dead II (1987) and wrote The Making of The Big Lebowski with Tricia Cooke.[citation needed]

Galesburg, MI
Christian Burial & Cremation Society
Exclusive Funeral Home Provider
Langeland Family Funeral Home
145 West Battle Creek Street
Galesburg, MI 49053
When planning a Christian funeral in Galesburg, MI there is only one clear choice, the funeral home recognized for their Christian fellowship, Langeland Family Funeral Home.
The funeral professionals at Langeland Family Funeral Home are experts at arranging and directing Christian funeral services and they work closely with clergy from all Christian denominations and local churches representing all Christian faiths in Galesburg, MI.
The Christian funeral celebrates the faith of the deceased's and Christ's victory over death and suffering. Each Christian denomination in Galesburg, MI has its own interpretation of the Bible which impacts how they view Christian Funeral Services . Although they each hold slightly different beliefs, they follow the same principles and share similar Christian funeral customs. The Christian funeral liturgy focuses mainly on the deceased's entry into Heaven and God's ability to give the grieving strength to cope with their recent loss. It celebrates the faith of the deceased and Christ's victory over death and suffering.
When someone we love dies, our response as Christians emerges, at least in part, out of our faith. We believe that God is the creator and giver of all life, and that death is, in some sense, an intrusion into the goodness of God's creation. We also believe that Christ redeems us from sin and death by his cross and resurrection, and that therefore death ushers us into fuller life. The funeral affirms and celebrates these bracing realities of faith even under the shadow of death.

hi dr.elizabeth=)i take calories less than i need but i meet over weightwhy???!thank u =)
It can be very frustrating to not see the scale move when you are trying very hard! However, since many factors can affect weight change, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact reason why you are not seeing the scale budge. The best way to identify what possible factor(s) are affecting your weight would be to see a registered dietitian, who can determine what your calorie intake and expenditure are, and make individualized recommendations for you. You can find a registered dietitian in your area at www.eatright.org.
Some general tips you might consider would include:
Monitor your portion sizes to be sure they are consistent with what is recommended for your age. You can use www.pyramid.gov to determine how many calories you need per day to maintain your weight, how many servings of each type of food you should consume and what the portion size is for that food. It's a good idea to measure your foods occasionally to make sure your portions are what they should be.
Identify possible sources of calories that you may not be aware of. Keeping a food diary is a great way to do this. Sometimes we are not aware of how much we are really nibbling, and how the calories can add up. Don't forget the calories from what may be added to food in cooking and seasoning.
Read food labels to identify the calories in the foods you are eating, making sure you are counting calories for the portion that's given on the label.
If possible, try to incorporate different activities into your exercise program, or change your walking program to be a little more.

Dimensions: 90" wide, 54" high, 28" deep
Materials: African Mozambique
Date: Made for show in 1978; subsequent commissions executed
Description: A rocking lounge chair/sculpture carved from solid, African Mozambique. The combination of scale, sensuous curves and negative space give the chair the power and grace of the Greek Goddess of Love. Staggered, laminated joinery and hidden, metal reinforcement are engineered to replicate the strength of steel yet retain the beauty and feel of natural wood.
Thoughts on my work: The curving line is beautiful because it has grace, motion and power. It abstracts the essence of a classical ballet or a moving musical composition. It soothes like the ebb and flow of waves or the rush of water in a stream. It captures the universal magic of femininity.

A colleague once referred to Chris Demarest as "the Sebastian Junger for the younger set." It's an apt description.
He works by creating visual imagery steadily, whether it's on-the-go jumping off planes around the word, or while settling in different parts of the country. He also manages to fold adventure into everything he does.
He is author and illustrator of over one hundred titles. His upcoming book project is BASIC TRAINING, for Macmillan/Roaring Brook Press (publishers of his Arlington book), is due out in 2013.
Joy Chu: For years you've been known for books that feature your cartoon-style of drawing, including No Peas For Nellie, Kitman and Willy, The Animal's Song, plus numerous series projects for school texts, poetry anthologies, board books, and much more.
We worked together on The Cows Are Going to Paris, Two Badd Babies, and My Little Red Car (all from Boyds Mills Press).
You are possibly the fastest artist [in terms of drawing] I know. Every art director's dream, deadline-wise! You even owned a red Miata during that period, and took professional racing lessons.
CD: That's funny that you remember the red Miata. Yes, I bought that after going to race driving school.
You say I'm a fast "draw-ler." That was several years back. I had the record for the fastest turn-around at the Boston Globe: Eight minutes from start-to-received fax, for a b/w illustration!
JC: I loved your line drawings [in your children's books], with bursts of bright watercolor, full of humor and wit!
Later on, you embraced a much more realistic, painterly approach. How and why did that happen?
Chris Demarest: I was a realistic painter/printmaker in college. I'd always been "drawn" to action images: skiers, ball game players, race cars, generally "boy' things as a kid.
In college, the focus was more on the human form. The key to drawing is in both numerous life drawing classes and HOW to draw. We were never allowed to use anything but a sharp pencil. Anything less allowed us to cheat.
We all know how hard hands are to draw. So, in having to work with a fine line, it sharpened our eyes and taught us to draw not what we knew in general (hand = four fingers + thumb with lots of joints) but what we saw. A hand is like a face: It's unique in size; shape; length.
Having that line skill made transitioning to line cartooning easy. I knew anatomy well enough so translating that into a cartoon human was simple— or let's say easier.
I also liked the shift away from a painting that would take a couple of weeks to something that was done in a matter of minutes.
In 1990, I re-located from New York City to Vermont. That move changed my life. I had a family, and we happened upon the local town's fire department's open house. Thinking my son Ethan (he was one at the time) would enjoy visiting, I joined their all-volunteer department.
Over the course of two years, I developed a book on fire-fighting while working with them. It started out as kind-of-a Richard Scarry approach (using my own line work).
I like using the alphabet as a template when it works. But as I wrote the story it became edgier.
As the tone of the book changed, so too did the art. It went through a phase of Virginia Lee Burton/ Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel-like flavor.
My editor at the time told me that it was too scary ("Kids are afraid of fire"). That was when I sensed I had the wrong editor.
Long story short, I later met Emma Dryden. Her only comments after looking at the completed artwork then was "Add MORE fire. Add MORE smoke!" She was so on target!
JC: Aha!
CD: It had to be realistic, if I was going to talk about the dangers of fire and fire fighting.
That book became Firefighters A to Z, which subsequently was chosen as a New York Times "Best Book".
Emma Dryden embraced the firefighting idea, and let me do two more books on firefighting, Hotshots! and Smoke Jumpers One to Ten.
I visited the US Forest Service Smokejumper base in Redding CA for research. Ironically, this was before the Coast Guard book and 9/11. At the jump base, I was never allowed to leave the ground. No shots from the air, only ground shots.
I was fortunate to see them do a practice jump which was very exciting. Seeing people leap out of a plane at only 1500 feet is impressive. If one didn't open a chute, the drop would take about eight seconds. That's not much time if something goes wrong.
I then shifted toward other themes involving rescue. For a year, I flew with the US Coast Guard (USCG) out of Air Station Cape Cod, doing research for Mayday! Mayday! A Coast Guard Rescue.
This is where it got interesting. As unhelpful as the US Forest Service was with the smokejumper book, the US Coast Guard bent over backwards to help.
Their first email response (after validation from Emma) was: "When can you come? We'll take you up in the Falcon jet and the Jayhawk helicopter…"
When I forwarded this to Emma, she immediately shot back with: "You get to do all the cool stuff while I'm stuck behind this desk." Little did she know…
Two years later, I flew with the Hurricane Hunters into Hurricane Ivan, researching Hurricane Hunters: Riders On The Storm.
After the three firefighting books, Emma said: "What can you do with water?" After Mayday! Mayday! (and inspired by Sebastian Junger's book The Perfect Storm), I wanted to cover hurricanes. So again, I wrote to my intended target, got clearance and made preparations.
The only difference is no one can predict the evolution of hurricanes. Whereas the Coast Guard could set a schedule for me, I had to wait to hear from the US Air Force Reserve out of Biloxi, Mississippi. The biggest problem is that it's expensive to fly commercially at the drop of a hat. All summer, I kept missing storms because I couldn't just get up and leave!
Finally in August, I made plans to visit the air base. Then if a hurricane rolled through, lucky me! As it turned out, the day after arriving in Biloxi, they called to say a flight was scheduled the next day [to witness hurricane work first-hand]. Finally I was able to go!
JC: You seem to be entering a new chapter now.
CD: Emma Dryden told me several times: "You have an uncanny way of reinventing yourself". She stated that over ten years ago when Firefighters A to Z came out, and she said this to me again recently.
There were a few transitional books like Cowboy ABC and Lindbergh, where my art style reverted (from light linework) to realism. But with the firefighting book, I was also able to play the boy again, going out on actual adventures. Previously, my themes were imagined; this time they were all very real.
While working with Air Station Cape Cod, I wanted to give back to them. It came in two ways: I became a USCG Auxilarist and an official artist — two separate entities.
At the first acceptance art ceremony, I met the Rear Admiral (mid-Atlantic). "Sally" became a good friend and ally who got me into places one normally isn't allowed. I got to experience so many avenues of the Coast Guard because of her.
Then one cold and depressing day in February, an email from USCG Headquarters arrived. It began: "Dear Mr. Demarest. We're contacting you to see about your availability to go to Bahrain…" Thus began a two month process of working both with them and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet (Bahrain). It was an incredible journey and experience.
The Coast Guard sent me to the Persian Gulf living aboard patrol boats, to document their work guarding the oil platforms off the coast of Iraq.
Nine paintings and drawings from that trip are in the USCG permanent art collection, Washington DC.
In 2007 I flew over twenty-five missions with DHART, the medical evacuation team out of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. An exhibit chronicled this period. An article I wrote up on the experience appeared in their publication, Dartmouth Medicine.
Working with the military prepared me for where I am now, working at the Women's Memorial, talking to service people almost daily.
JC: And you were here in San Diego recently!
CD: I was deployed to San Diego to cover border patrol operations aboard a small cutter and in their rescue helicopter.
Headquarters sent me to San Diego to cover border patrols on both boat and helicopter. Like any mission, it's hit or miss about seeing anything of note. As it was, there were no incidents.
Spending eighteen hours on the patrol boat Haddock I did get to see them practice rescue basket operations. I've seen it countless times from above in the helicopter but this was new.
This boat was an 85-footer as opposed to the ones in the Persian Gulf (110-footers) and the size difference was thirty five feet shorter. That meant it bobbed about like a cork.
To date, I've never gotten sick either on ships or flying but I was tested. Sleeping presents a problem when the boat pitches a lot. My concern was less about getting sick than falling out of the rack. Tucking myself in, literally, saved me from rolling out of the top berth.
JC: Tell us about your most recent projects.
CD: My most recent release, a picture book called Arlington: A Story of Our Nation's Cemetery (Macmillan/Roaring Brook, 2010) honors the history of the grounds and those who made the ultimate sacrifice to their nation.
My father was buried at Arlington in 1989 and I got to see the whole show. Caisson, bugle sounding taps and the rifle salute. I also covered a USCG funeral.
By the time it came to do a book on the troops, I chose to cover it as Arlington's history. That history in itself is interesting, as it ties George Washington to Robert E. Lee together, via bloodlines and marriage.
Somehow coming to the women's memorial last year made it feel like I was coming full circle back to my father and his WW II military service, by working on portraits of WW II people.
With my move to Washington DC, my work with the military continues as an on-site artist at The Women in Military Service to America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, creating a massive collection of World War II portraits honoring the "greatest generation".
My next project for the memorial is to create five life-size dioramas, one for each service branch, showing the contemporary work women do in the military.
Working on-site has provided another avenue. Interacting with the public, who stroll the hallways of the memorial daily has often brought me face-to-face with those who've lost loved ones in the recent wars.
For them I created a "wall of thanks" which allows anyone to leave drawings and messages as a kind of therapy for all.
It's my greatest joy, being able to reach out to those emotionally hardest hit by letting them have a voice.
One retired Navy commander, who works at the memorial, calls me "Father Dave" because I remind her of a chaplain she was close to while she served.
JC: She calls you "Father Dave"? Why, Chris?
CD: In part, because of the conversations I relate to her [from my interactions], with people who've lost a loved one in war.
JC: You are producing amazing portraits! They reveal a wholly new dimension to your body of work.
And those faces. They radiate layered stories telepathically when they stare back at us.
Are you looking for donors / patrons / corporate funding for your on-going efforts? On behalf of World War II portraits honoring the "greatest generation"? If so, where can prospective folks contact you?
CD: Yes, please. For official recognition, contributions of any size can be sent to:

The Chemistry Department offers three degree programs: BA in chemistry, BS in chemistry and the BS in biochemistry. These programs follow prescribed professional guidelines. Loyola programs are unique because of the close contact between students and faculty, due to smaller class sizes in advanced classes. Chemistry faculty members spend significant time assisting students both in and out of the classroom.
The programs in chemistry lay a firm foundation for chemistry majors and give other students a cultural background in chemistry. The BS programs are intended explicitly for those undergraduates who have career goals in chemistry (i.e., an industrial or academic chemistry career most probably following graduate training for the MS and/or PhD degrees) but are also good preparation for careers in medicine, law, pharmacy and other professions.
The BA program is intended for those undergraduates who have career goals in fields other than chemistry, but for which a strong chemistry background is desirable (e.g., medicine, dentistry, technical sales, patent law).
