Arizona Media LawSLN #: 13097
Course Prefix: LAW-705
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Bodney
Course Description:
This seminar draws together the academic and practical elements of media law, with a particular emphasis on translating constitutional theory into legal action in Arizona. The course covers issues involving access to information (e.g., public records, open meetings, FOIA), interference with the news gathering process (subpoenas, search warrants, gag orders), limitations on content (prior restraints, libel, invasion of privacy) and other "hot topics" in media law. In addition, the course focuses on the tensions between law and ethics in the legal and journalistic disciplines, and how the aspirational considerations of the two professions both inform and obscure the duties of reporters and their counsel. Finally, the course explores the analytical and precedential limitations on the absolutist rhetoric of the First Amendment. Some background in constitutional or media law is recommended.

Citing the irregularities with the recording of mortgages and assignments that negatively impact municipalities and consumers, Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin filed legislation to require that all transfers of a mortgage interest on residential property be recorded to provide a clean chain of title. The legislation, S0547 sponsored by Senator William Conley (District 18, East Providence, Pawtucket) and H5512 sponsored by Representative Brian Kennedy (District 38, Hopkinton, Westerly), is scheduled to be heard before both the Senate Committee on Judiciary and House Corporations Committee on Tuesday, March 26, 2013.
The legislation makes it easier for borrowers and regulators to determine who owns loans secured by mortgages on Rhode Island property. Borrowers facing foreclosure will be able to more easily discover who owns their loans before it is too late, and municipalities will be able to identify lenders who are responsible for abandoned homes. The legislation will the practice of having the vast majority of mortgages held in the name of a private registry with no interest in the loans known as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., or "MERS."
Since 1997, the banking industry has been using MERS, which lenders claim has minimized their administrative and financial burdens of the recording process. However, this practice has basically privatized the local land recording process, thereby undermining the accuracy of public records and leading to negative consequences for consumers and municipalities.
"The changing of servicing and subservicing rights within the lending history often leaves the borrower confused regarding which entity they are supposed to be dealing with on a monthly basis and why," said Attorney General Kilmartin. "The legislation is designed to give borrowers a public record of who ultimately owns their loans, increasing the ability of homeowners to negotiate with their lenders and their ability to have full knowledge of their rights, counterclaims and defenses if they are faced with litigation."
"Rhode Island has experienced a record number of foreclosure and short sales since the mortgage crisis," said Representative Kennedy, "This legislation will assist homeowners in knowing who maintains the note on their property while also ensuring that local cities and towns will know the potential owner of a property after a forced sale has occurred, to ensure that municipalities have the proper information available on the documentation for taxation and municipal recording fees."
"With this legislation, we are taking another step toward easing the pain of the housing and mortgage foreclosure crisis, which has affected both the state's municipalities and individual consumers," Sen. William J. Conley Jr. said. "It is common sense to record these transfers and take out the unnecessary middle man. Rhode Islanders need to know exactly who they are dealing with and how they can protect themselves. The foreclosure process is tough enough already without adding the frustration of MERS."
By having a nominee entity listed as the mortgagee, the banking industry has privatized Rhode Island's mortgage recording system, and left the accuracy of public land records at the mercy of a private company's database. Federal banking authorities have already concluded that the private mortgage system contains numerous inaccuracies and has not been accessible to homeowners. Moreover, the nominee frequently has no contractual relationship with the actual noteowner, despite the contention in the mortgage documents of a nominee relationship.
Not only has this private system deprived cities and towns the recording fees that they are owed for over 15 years, it has also hampered the ability of municipalities to adequately address abandoned property and nuisance issues because the mortgagee liable for these issues is not clear from the chain of title.
Consumers are adversely impacted due to the fact that their mortgage loans change hands multiple times through the life of the loan without proper recording. The lack of a contemporaneous public record hampers their ability to deal directly with their lenders and enforce their legal rights.
The banking industry's practice of using a nominee entity process for recording deeds has become a highly litigated issue by consumers, municipalities and counties throughout the country. This very issue is currently being litigated in Rhode Island with private citizens and municipalities calling into question the legality of using the nominee process to record mortgage interests. The multitude of legal issues surrounding the nominee process has caused confusion and delay in foreclosure proceedings in our State, and has raised the critical issue of whether a nominee entity can enforce the power of sale. High Courts in other States, including Massachusetts and Washington, have already ruled that a nominee cannot utilize the power of sale. This legislation resolves this issue in Rhode Island by simply eliminating the nominee recording process and restoring accuracy and transparency to the public land records.
Since taking Office in January 2011, Attorney General Kilmartin has worked to unravel the housing and mortgage foreclosure crisis in Rhode Island. Last year, Kilmartin signed on to the National Mortgage Settlement, bringing $187 million in relief to Rhode Island homeowners. For the past two years, Kilmartin has proposed legislation that would a mortgagee to participate in good faith in a conciliation conference prior to foreclosure proceedings.
"The housing and mortgage foreclosure crisis in Rhode Island and the country did not happen overnight," added Kilmartin. "It is going to take time, as well as reforms to existing systems like MERS to right the housing market and to eliminate past bad practices from happening again."

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
It is possible to use some USB hubs without a power supply, however, doing so may prevent the USB hub or certain high-power USB peripherals from operating. It is always recommended to use an included power supply with a USB hub when possible.
When a power adapter is not used on a hub that comes with a power adapter, power is drawn from the USB port on the computer and then divided between the ports on the hub. This reduces the power delivery to individual ports and high-powered USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, may not start.
On USB hubs that can use a power adapter, more power can be supplied to USB ports than what is possible with a single USB port.
If your USB peripherals require power adapters, they probably do not require power from the USB port and can be used on a USB hub without a power adapter. With USB peripherals that use power adapters, the USB ports on the hub are only used for data transfer and do not draw power from the hub.
USB peripherals that require low power (for example, keyboards and mice) can be used on hubs without a power adapter, in conjunction with other low-power USB peripherals. In this case, power is drawn from the computer's USB port, as described above.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, if you use USB 3.1.
- Bi-directional power delivery up to 100W, if both the USB host connection and the device support it.
- Alternate modes, which deliver different types of data at different speeds. For example, DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
To use all of the features of this USB-C device, it is required that all of the following components support USB Power Delivery 2.0:
- The USB-C host connection.
- The USB-C cable.
- The USB-C device (for example, a hard drive docking station).
To check how much power this device requires, visit the product page, and look on the Technical Specifications tab.
For more information about the power delivery capabilities of your other components, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.

The USA men lost a very tough 3-0 match tonight to Brazil. This one was particularly hard with the scores 29-31, 23-25 and 23-23; hard to get much closer.

Like many matches in today's top volleyball world, this one turned a very few plays in each set. The USA started with the same group as yesterday, except Sean Rooney played for Jeff Menzel at one outside hitter spot. There was a lot to like about the way Team USA played and we had chances in all three sets to pull out a win or extend a lead. Just be a touch more consistent, a little better in some small areas and the outcome changes.
I particularly liked the play from the youngest starters, Micah Christenson and Erik Shoji. Both demonstrate maturity and a volleyball IQ beyond their years.

The USA has some wonderful tools and strengths and matched up well with one of the best teams in the world (of course the USA is also one of the best teams in the world). As much as anything we need a bit more consistency serving. As with the match yesterday with Japan, we miss too many and lose chances to score points in streaks with our serving errors (16 tonight).
The closeness of the match can be demonstrated as both teams had 43 kills. Team USA got a few more aces to offset a couple of the six more serve errors, and made one more hitting error. Brazil scored a few more block points and gave up a few on nets and ball-handling errors; it was very close.
* Had to take a little break as we bused to the train station in Kyoto, took the bullet train to Tokyo and bused to the hotel here, arriving about 12:30 a.m.
Tomorrow, the team will get to sleep in, and have a real practice on their off day. The other results yesterday had Iran beating Italy in five, and Russia dominating Japan, 3-0. This tourney will likely be close as teams have not had much prep time, most coming together from their pro league teams, and most also trying some younger, new players.
As I've said, I like the direction that Coach Speraw and his staff have our team headed. They get along well, are well prepared, compete for every point and have a nice mix of veterans and experience. Creating a culture of competing hard every day, trying to improve every day, reducing errors and challenging both yourself and your opponents will ultimately produce great results. That's the direction I see our men headed.
The rest of the schedule has us taking on Italy on Friday, then Iran and Russia on the weekend. This is a great collection of teams and matches for our players. Our staff gets to reconnect with the team after they have mostly been with their individual clubs for a month or more, do a little training and get some great info on key opponents for down the road.
I have to return to the states on Friday and won't see the last three matches in person. We get great match reports from B.J. Evans who is traveling with the men.
Next year is the World Championship taking place in Poland for men and Italy for women. I'm excited for our teams and their chances.

|From Parade (date unknown)
OK...my mom didn't make the chips...at least not as far as I can remember. While I was home this summer I was looking through mom's recipe books and we talked food. She made her beer batter dipped fish and showed me the clipping that she had originally gotten the recipe from. I hated fish when I was a kid. Always afraid of finding a bone and just all-around not enjoying it much. The only fish I would eat was this recipe and tuna. My mom would always use her fingers to feel for bones so I knew eating her fish would be a bone-free experience...thanks, mom!
I've posted about this recipe before, but now that I have a copy of the clipping I wanted to share the whole thing (including its origins).
"From London With Love
by Beth Merriman
Parade Food Editor
Our British cousins have discovered the joys of hot dogs and hamburgers. American tourists have returned from London with equal enthusiasm for fish and chips. We think a kitchen party featuring this fare would be a hit with everyone.
To make the 'cornets,' as the English call the newspaper cornucopias in which they serve the fish and chips, we found it amusing to use comic strip pages. Line them with aluminum foil, roll into cones and secure with transparent tape or staples. With a little practice you'll discover the right size for individual portions. Stuff a little paper toweling into the bottom of each before putting in the hot fish and chips.
Serve hot malt vinegar from a sprinkle bottle, salt and - to please American palates - catchup. Beer for adults, root beer for the younger crowd, fun for everyone.
2 packages (about 12 ounces each) frozen fish fillets
1-1/2 pounds fresh fish fillets*
2 eggs, separated
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
1 bag (2 pounds) frozen french fried potatoes
*Any firm white fish, such as sole, flounder, haddock, cod, whiting, etc
Partially defrost fillets so they can be separated. Cut into pieces about 3" x 1-1/2". Place on paper towels to dry. Beat egg yolks until thick and light. Blend in beer, milk, flour and seasonings. Mix until smooth. Beat egg whites stiff but not dry; fold in. Pat fillets dry. Dip into batter, a few pieces at a time; lift out and drain slightly with fork or slotted spoon.
Fry in deep fat heated to 375 degrees for two to three minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Drain on absorbent paper. Meanwhile heat french fried potatoes as directed on package. Serve fish and french fries together in 'cornets,' as described above.
Makes six servings.
From Parade' test kitchen"
Hmmm...I don't think I'd use staples to secure anything that my food was going in. Perhaps that's just me. I don't remember mom making the "cornets" either, but it's not too surprising because such a detail would have gone completely unappreciated by my dad and us kids. I'm familiar with seasoned salt (I use Lawry's all the time, but I think mom just used regular salt), but I'm not so much familiar with seasoned pepper. Not really a crisis or anything. Use what you prefer and they'll be just as yummy!
I found the references to food sharing between Americans and the Brits
I've matured since then and really enjoy fish. I can only hope that my kids learn to enjoy things that they don't appreciate now.
And I hope the next time you get a craving for some good fish, you'll give this recipe a try.

In keeping with the #RetroFriday spirit, EP20 of HorsePLAY! LIVE delved into the simple little games that have us addicted. Are games like Hearthstone and Marvel Puzzle Quest the real next generation of gaming we've been waiting for? We think so.
Here are some of the highlights of the show before we jump into some Marvel Puzzle Quest strategies. We did not quite get into Hearthstone as heavily as we wanted in the episode but don't worry: we'll be revisiting the game lots.. Yeah, I know: we talk about it lots here at Geeky Antics – we'll convert you yet!
Obligatory News:
- ARS Technica Steam game library usage and ownership stats.
- Microsoft announces XBox Originals Channel. New video games.. Sure, we'll have those too.. Eventually.
- Bungie veteran, Marty O'Donnell fired without cause.
- Hearthstone Fireside Gatherings a flop so far… or are they?
- Twitter changes have been rolled out – hello Facebook Junior!
Opinions & Discussions:
- Dear consoles, please focus on GAMES.. We have enough videos and junk to consume as it is.
- How Marty discovered Bungie years ago.
- Remember the precursor to Halo? Neither do we.
- Macs have games too!
- Imagine if Halo was an Apple exclusive.. YUCK.
- The state of the gaming industry is pretty sad now BUT…
- Tabletop gaming and indie games are on the rise – YAY!
- Twitter, if you become craptastic like Facebook, FUCK YOU!
Don't forget: if you want to join the conversation, perhaps disagree with our points or shed some light on things, leave us voicemail at (206) 415-4987. Keep it simple and sweet, por favor – we will play them during our shows and discuss!
So, during EP20, we hit upon a lot of key strategies for newbies and players having trouble in Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign. The idea is to prevent endless grinding and dropping money, which sucks unless you have tons of money and time to throw away. Here are some of the things Chip Cella (a.k.a. @CaptinChaos) of The B-Team Podcast, our resident MPQ ninja, suggested to keep the game fun and help you PWN (without making it into a lifestyle game):
- Save Hero Coins for roster spots.
- Focus your ISO on maxing your top characters, rather than leveling them all up evenly.
- Keep "Fishnet" Black Widow or Amazing Spider-Man in your to keep your teammates healed.
- During PvP events, farm newbies instead of going for difficult targets – use the skip button to avoid needless knock-outs.
- If you're just starting out, grind the campaign and AI battles to get easy ISO and Hero Coins.. Farm newbies too.
- Do not waste Hero Coins on health packs – they regenerate once you go below a five count.
- Remember: this is not Candy Crush.. MPQ is the match-three puzzle game for strategy lovers and deep thinkers!
Here are some other tips that I have found useful. I will preface these tips by saying I avoid any scenario where I am playing for several hours at end. I love this game and want to avoid burning out on it and making it a grind like I did with my previous mobile game of choice, Rage Of Bahamut (a.k.a. Mobage's relentless money grab).
Fishnet & The Support Crew
Original Black Widow, affectionately called "Fishnet", is easily one of the Top 5 characters in Marvel Puzzle Quest. She compliments any team you add her too, especially against teams that need black, purple, and blue matches to activate abilities. Her abilities can best be described as follows:
Heals and steals.
Ideally, you want to place her alongside a higher-level, tankier (high life/hit points) character(s) with same-colored abilities. This will prevent her from taking too much damage, which is good since she can be one-hit by certain characters (i.e. Wolverine). Some good teammates for her include…
- Storm
- Moonstone
- Venom
- Bullseye
For heavy grinding sessions, I find the combination of Daken, Fishnet, and Moonstone/Thor/Wolverine works really well. Daken adds stacking damage and tanks incoming damage while the third character provides the burst damage and "bigger body". Your preferences may be different depending on how aggressive you want to be. Admittedly, Daken takes time to build up damage with strike tiles but his self-healing ability makes him great.
Fishnet Black Widow is what I would call a support character. If you don't have her, there are other options for mitigating damage, whether you are healing or blocking damage. Amazing Spider-Man is likely your next best bet since he can stun AND heal. Here are some other solid picks:
- Modern Black Widow
- Bullseye
- Yelena Belova Black Widow
- Captain America
- Iron Man Model 35
- Iron Man Model 45
- Magneto (ALL)
- Loki
- Moonstone
Support roles go beyond healing and stealing. Characters like Yelena Belova (evil Black Widow), Loki, Magneto, and Bullseye can create and manipulate special tiles, which can be devastating against opponent teams that rely on them.
Between Captain America and Moonstone, I feel Moonstone is the best pick. Captain America feels like an under-powered Iron Man Model 35. Here is why he sucks:
- His powers/abilities take too long to ramp up.
- His damage output is poop.
- He is balanced and, by extension, not very good at anything.
Captain America does have more HP than most support characters. He also has a stun ability plus the ability to cycle abilities but, if the countdown tiles get removed, his effectiveness is negated. Cap is just not good for aggressive wins and, thus, using him becomes a grindfest… Meh.
Moonstone, on the other hand, can manipulate the board, do massive burst damage (based upon how many red tiles are in stock), and she can stun opponents. She is amazing yet she doesn't get nearly enough love. I love you Moonstone.

The trading of derivative securities represents a large portion of the shares that change hands in the financial markets. Investment firms, stock exchanges, and other financial institutions make attractive profits from trading these contracts. Investors can use derivative securities to hedge certain investment bets by taking as much risk as a firm or individual deems appropriate. Also, derivatives trading requires some forecasting about future prices, and may promote more efficiency in the markets.
Risk Management
At its core, the integration of derivative securities into an investment portfolio is about managing risk and attempting to profit. Although these securities can be highly sophisticated, derivatives are also designed to allow traders to compartmentalize risk. Derivative contracts can be divided into tranches with varying degrees of risk. Investors can buy and sell different tranches of derivative products based on the risk assigned to each tranche. In doing so, the investor can determine how much risk is acceptable in the event that the trade falters.
There are different types of derivatives from which investors can choose to trade, all of which obtain a value based on some underlying security, such as a stock or a debt instrument. Options are a type of derivative that grant investors a choice to buy or sell a financial security by a later date for a predetermined price. An advantage is the flexibility inherent in these derivatives because investors are not obligated to follow through with a trade over the duration of an options contract.
Major stock exchanges that facilitate derivatives trading can earn a substantial amount of profits from this business. According to a 2011 article on the Bloomberg website, two such exchanges, the Deutsche Boerse and the New York Stock Exchange Euronext, agreed to merge. Combined, the derivatives businesses of these two exchanges is worth approximately $24.7 billion, the article states. Derivatives trading is a key profit driver at the NYSE Euronext and is responsible for approximately 50 percent of the exchange's bottom-line growth.
The underlying debt securities that give value to credit derivatives contracts are rated by industry agencies. If the assigned rating is misguided, it could lead to massive losses in the financial markets. Losses stemming from the trading of derivative securities that were riskier than expected caused some to blame these products for the financial crisis of 2008. An advantage from the fallout is that market participants gained greater awareness of the systemic risk that inappropriately rated derivatives may pose to the global economy. Subsequently, investors began seeking greater transparency in the markets.

Forwards coach Ricky Nebbett was left to rue six minutes of madness as Esher let victory slip through their hands at home to Rosslyn Park.
Esher had been on track to earn a hard-fought victory over their National Division One title-chasing opponents, following tries from Patrick O'Grady and Ian Kench and 20 points from the boot of Thomas Whelan.
However, Rosslyn Park dug deep to produce two more tries of their own in the closing stages to take the 38-30 bonus point victory.
It was a hard one to take for the Esher players with Nebbett conceding late errors had proved his side's undoing.
"It is hard to know what to say to the guys there now, because for 95 per cent of the game I thought we had done enough to win," said Nebbett.
"Ultimately it came down to six or seven minutes of madness where we coughed up possession too easily and we missed tackles and we let them back in.
"As a result we have come away with a loss when we should have seen out the win.
"A few minor errors cost us in the end there. Obviously we let the guy run through the middle of us from kick-off at the end and as soon as they were in behind us we struggled.
"You look at the things that have gone against you, and I am going to have to assess things after having a look at the video, but ultimately I think it was just a couple of individual errors which cost us the game."
Esher had got the early points on the board through Whelan's first penalty of the day, but were reduced to 14 when Kench was sent to the sin-bin, leaving Park to pounce with a converted try.
The game proved to be a tight contest and, with Whelan rattling off three more penalties in quick succession to Park's one, the hosts turned around 12-10 up at the break.
It was then the Park's turn to split the posts with two penalties before Kench got Esher's first try on 49 minutes, converted by Whelan.
Tussle: The clash of the rivals
O'Grady added a second 10 minutes later as well as two more Whelan penalties, but Park hit back with two tries of their own to leave the scores finely balanced at 30-26.
But while the late drama came down on the wrong side for Esher, Nebbett could still find the positives from a narrow defeat.
"To lose to a second place team 38-30 is nothing to be ashamed of," he added.
"We could have easily turned Doncaster over at our last outing at home. If we keep playing like that, we will not have too much to worry about as a team."

Every so often a film comes along that, despite not quite drawing the masses to the multiplexes, has a story so charming and engaging it eventually lures a legion of admirers when it hits home video and cable TV.
Like its unique subject matter, director Ken Kwapis' film "Big Miracle" is just that kind of odds-bucker.
The film dramatizes (and frequently comedy-izes) the real-life 1988 media sensation that arose around the efforts of an international assembly of unlikely allies – including a Greenpeace activist (Drew Barrymore) and her local newsman ex (John Krasinski), a National Guardsman (Dermot Mulroney), a White House staffer (Vinessa Shaw) trying to ensure the election of George H.W. Bush; an oil executive facing a crisis of conscience (Ted Danson), a ladder-climbing anchorwoman (Kristen Bell), Inuit whale hunters, and the Russian navy among them – to free a trio of gray whales trapped in a hole in the ice near an Alaskan town in the Arctic Circle.
A veteran helmer of heartfelt but not overly sentimental comedy, Kwapis ("The Office," "Malcolm In the Middle," "He's Just Not That Into You") deftly mines the many "you'd never believe it if it weren't true" elements of the offbeat story and brings it together in a beguiling blend of the sweet and the satirical. As the film makes its DVD and Blu-ray bow, Kwapis shares his memories of making the film with PopcornBiz, and reveals why he thinks it'll sneak up on audiences for years to come.
How quickly did your vision gel with this material, recognizing how to turn it into such a satisfying story for the screen?
I think what appealed to me, what I found so powerful, was the idea of a group of people with very different interests and very different agendas – often competing agendas – trying to solve a problem together. I also loved the idea of a seemingly impossible task, the idea that there were three large whales trapped in the ice with only a small hole to come up to breathe and that between that hole and open water is five miles of for the most part solid ice. How do you get them out? It just seemed like such a weird puzzle. So I loved the idea, the human interest aspect of it, how do people with a lot of competing agendas and a lot of ulterior motives finally figure out how to accomplish this task together.
What were the key insights that you got from some of the real life players that helped you make you story feel real and come to life, that it was happening to real people?
A couple of the real life people, [former White House staffer] Bonnie Caroll and [environmental activist] Cindy Lowry, who are respectively the Vanessa Shaw character and Drew Barrymore's character – what I really liked in terms of talking with each of them is how no one wanted to give up on these three whales, even though the odds were completely stacked against them and as each day progressed it was even more and more impossible to figure how to get to them to freedom. What I loved is that it's not as if this was some world event, but they could not have been more passionate and determined to pull this off.
What are your memories of the real life incident? Was it on your radar at the time?
I remember the event on the news, but I remember it mostly because it was about two weeks before the 1988 presidential election, the Bush/Dukakis election. I was very interested in that election, and what's interesting is that the news of the whale rescue over the last two weeks of the presidential campaign started to actually preempt the campaign at the time. I don't remember following it in great detail, but I definitely remember that it was there, competing with the news about the Bush/Dukakis campaign in its final couple of weeks.
You have a lot of fun with how the media dealt with that its coverage of the story the film. Was it a bit of a precursor to the kind of breathless, around the clock coverage that happens with media sensations today?
Well, there have certainly been media-centric events in the past, before this one, but this one did seem to set the stage for events that followed. I can't remember if Baby Jessica was born before or after this, but certainly the coverage of things like O. J. Simpson, Tonya Harding. There seems to be a real pattern that the media follow now, where they seize upon an event for a short time, saturate listeners and viewers with every detail about that event and then move on. There does seem to be a sort of a certain kind of frenzy that this was a template for. There were over 150 reporters there, and one of the great things about making the film is that most of those reporters were working for television networks around the world, so there was a lot of footage that they took and a lot of it we were able to use in the film itself. So at times you're looking at the whales that we created for the film and then other times, on monitors, on television sets in the background, you're also seeing the real whales themselves from 1988.
You've made two films with Drew Barrymore now. She's a consummate Hollywood star. What do you like about Drew that only the people who know her as a friend and colleague are aware of?
The reason everyone feels that they know her is because she has a very accessible quality. She feels like she's a friend of yours. She feels like someone you can go out and have a beer with. The other reason that people feel that they know her is because we've all grown up with her. She's someone who's been in front of the cameras since she was a baby, basically. We've all sort of been involved in her story. What I think most people don't know is what a dedicated actress she is, how seriously she takes the work, how much research she does in preparing to play a role, especially a role like this one that's based on a real person and set against the backdrop of an event that had so many different layers. There's the environmentalist aspect to her character. There's also just the historical backdrop of the story set against the Cold War, a story set against the backdrop of an American presidential election. So when Drew prepares, she wants to soak everything up in order to bring the role to life. She certainly did a ton of homework on this movie.
And you've been working with John Krasinski since the public was introduced to him, right?
Yes – I directed the pilot of 'The Office.' I was a part of the team that launched the series and I was part of the group responsible for casting John in the show. He's a friend. I love working with him. He, like Drew, has an incredibly accessible quality, and I think that audiences feel like he's a kind of guy they know. He's a guy who can be your friend, and I think that, frankly, I couldn't wait for the two of them to play off of each other. Having worked with both of them I just found that combination and the prospect of them being together irresistible.
Do you think this film will just grow in people's hearts and minds as it gets to cable and DVD?
I absolutely feel that's the case. I think if you make a film, tell a strong story, that people will discover it and take it to heart. It may not be on opening weekend. It may not be during your theatrical run, but eventually, over time, people will find it and fall in love with it. I absolutely feel confident that this exactly that kind of film.
'Big Miracle' Director Expects a Whale of a Second Life For the Film
Ken Kwapis Believes The Heartwarming Story Will Build Its Following
Every so often a film comes along that, despite not quite drawing the masses to the multiplexes, has a story so charming and engaging it eventually lures a legion of admirers when it hits home video and cable TV.

The handwritten minutes for Trinity Baptist Church, near Mooresboro, were in a tattered and worn book that was falling apart. Pages were falling out; notes from 1913-1916 were lost.
The handwritten minutes for Trinity Baptist Church, near Mooresboro, were in a tattered and worn book that was falling apart. Pages were falling out; notes from 1913-1916 were lost.
Church secretary Diane Edwards typed the official record, using the original sentence structure, wording and spellings.
Although the first few years are missing, the church�s founding has been documented in other places. According to the records, Trinity was organized Oct. 5, 1912, in the old school. Members joining were G.L. Bostic, C.I. Bostic, Willie Bostic, Della Bostic, Effie Lowery Bostic and Mary Holcombe. On Nov. 13, A.M. Harrill joined, and in December, A.L. McKinney and Clementine Bridges joined.
On New Year�s Eve, a group of men met in the woods for prayer at an old pine tree. Three months later, in March 1913, the first church building stood on the spot where the men had met to pray.
Members donated the timber and labor to build the church. The land was given to the church for the first building by J.D. Gilespie, and the land for the parking lot was given by G.L. Bostic.
Some of the most interesting details in the earlier years were items relating to the conduct of church members.
�They had a set of rules, a declaration of faith and church covenant,� said Edwards, a member of the history committee. �The rules were read at every conference.�
Ruby McKinney, another member of the history committee, said the leaders were strict about attending church conference. After three unexcused absences, a committee was sent to find out why the person wasn�t there.
�One man was excused because he needed to make his egg route in Shelby,� McKinney said. �They were also excused because of farming.�
McKinney read the church minutes and gleaned these details to share each week in the church bulletin in a section called �Centennial Note.� The topics range from pastors� salaries to the cost of heating the church.
McKinney grew up in Trinity Church and has never gone anywhere else.
�My family and my husband�s family have always worked in the church,� McKinney said. �Everybody is friendly and caring. It�s part of my life.�
Edwards joined the church 35 years ago, about four months after she and her husband, Mike, moved into the community.
�We visited here, and it was just like coming home,� Edwards said. �The people take care of each other.�
She has experienced the depths of their concern firsthand because since 1993, she�s had heart valve replacement, suffered a stroke and recently suffered a heart attack. Each time, church members �prayed for me, brought in food and visited me,� said Edwards, who also serves as the church organist. �The people were so understanding and helpful to me.�
James Toney, chairman of the history committee, was 20 years old and a newlywed when he joined Trinity in 1960.
�Trinity is where I really grew to be a Christian,� he said. �Going through the history has made me appreciate it more.�
Other members of the history committee, who helped compile a history book and plan the celebration, are Mike Edwards, Barbara Lovelace, Robert Lovelace, Brenda Eaker, Barbara Bishop, Ed Bailey, Irene Byars and Saralyn Daves. Stella Carroll wrote biographies of the church pastors for the history book.
Reach Jackie Bridges at 704-669-3337.
Want to go?
The Centennial Celebration of Trinity Baptist Church is Oct. 7 at 11 a.m. Interim pastor Todd Bolin will speak. A meal will be served after the service and a 2 p.m. remembrance celebration is planned. During the afternoon event, people will be asked to share their memories of going to church at Trinity. Memorabilia will also be displayed in the youth building.
Centennial history notes
Church rule No. 5: All members of the church shall bear their part of all its expenses according to their several abilities, especially in supporting the Lord�s table, the Pastor�s table and the poor of the church.
Church rule No. 15: No man shall be allowed to speak in conference without first arising to his feet and addressing the moderator and not more than twice on the same subject.
From 1917-1919 , the Rev. B.M. Bridges was pastor. In 1918, the total membership was 142 � 61 men and 81 ladies. The pastor�s salary for 1917 was $162.
On Sunday, Sept. 2, 1928 , the pool committee selected a place on the G.L. Bostic land to build a baptizing pool. Estimated cement cost was $7.50; later, $20 was collected to finish the pool.
On Oct. 1930 , the members voted to have the church treasurer purchase and have delivered some coal for the furnace. In January 1931, the amount of $12.15 was paid for the coal.
On July 6, 1931 , by motion it was decided that all male members that could not be located be put on a �delinquent list.� Those located who had failed to attend church in the last five years should start attending or be put on the list.

Kyle Larson, 21, set for big payday after landing Sprint Cup ride
Kyle Larson will compete in his second career Sprint Cup race this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. He will try to stay out of trouble and not get any drivers upset with him by the time the checkered flag waves.
That is typical for any young driver. But Larson has been racing all his life. All he has to do is what comes natural after a highly successful sprint-car career and a more than respectable first two years of racing stock cars.

"I'm just hoping I don't make anybody mad or anything out there," Larson said in a recent interview. "I want to start off on the right foot with everybody and make sure I earn the respect — that's probably the (biggest) thing I'm worried about.
"I'm hoping I don't do anything dumb the first handful of races."
While there will be much talk about the on-the-track transition for Larson as he replaces Juan Pablo Montoya at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing next year, he might face a bigger transition off the track as far as managing his time and handling responsibilities that could determine how much sponsorship he has in order to race.
Oh, and there's another thing. Money.
While NASCAR teams and drivers keep their contracts confidential, Larson is expected to make a lot more money next year when he competes full time in Cup (in addition to a part-time ride in the Nationwide Series).
The 21-year-old from California can sleep easy now, compared to when he was a teenager just beginning to race on a national level.
"You lay in bed sometimes and you wonder, 'Man, I'm not good at anything else. What am I going to do if racing doesn't work out? I'm too lazy to have a real job,'" Larson said.
"But after a couple of years when I realized I was OK and people supported me, I thought I'd make it. Everything has worked out."
Drivers for top Sprint Cup teams typically make at least a seven-figure base salary (often several million once they establish themselves and sign contract extensions) while most Nationwide drivers don't earn anything close to that. If Larson just makes 40 percent of his team's purse (drivers typically make 35-50 percent of the purse), he is looking at a huge jump from less than $400,000 a year to more than $1.5 million from Nationwide to Cup. It's likely that, at a minimum, he will earn at least $2 million more in 2014 than he did in 2013.
But Larson isn't planning a big spending spree in the next year. He enjoys living in an apartment at Birkdale, a somewhat swanky Charlotte area where many young racers live.
So Larson doesn't plan to buy a house on nearby Lake Norman, like many top drivers, anytime soon.
"As far as a house or anything like that? I live in Birkdale — I like it there a lot," Larson said. "I don't see myself moving out of there for a couple of years. The whole truck and Nationwide series lives there."
Managed by Spire Sports & Entertainment, Larson has help with his money management as he begins life as a racer.
"It's just a good feeling," Larson said about the financial security. "It gets a little more complicated than it has been the last couple of years when I'm worried about taxes and all that kind of stuff.
"But they put the right people in place for me. They've introduced me to different investors and stuff like that. Spire definitely looks out for my best interest when it comes to racing, money and meeting the right people."
Larson has had to meet other people in the business world — Target executives. He already has been to Minneapolis to talk to Target executives and also go through some media training.
"I liked them a lot and they're going to be (great) people to work with — they've done a lot for Chip Ganassi and all their drivers," Larson said. "I'm excited to be part of the team."
As part of the team, another thing Larson will have to get used to: Making sure he doesn't enter a Target competitor. Target is closest to his apartment so it shouldn't be too hard.
"You definitely have to think about it," Larson said. "You can't be going to a different store. Somebody might take a picture of you and you'd get in trouble. But Target is everywhere. You can find them pretty easy."
One thing he didn't get at Target that he might have splurged a little bit on is a new car.
"I bought a Mercedes from (team co-owner) Felix (Sabates) a few months ago," Larson said. "I like that right now. It gets good fuel mileage."
Did he get a discount from Sabates, who co-owns EGR?
"A little," Larson said.

Tech Tip 9/24 - preventing spam
Since I have joined the 207 family I receive about 10 emails a week from staff members concerned about the amount of SPAM they receive. I would like to take a moment to explain the reasons why spam gets through, ways you can prevent it, and what we are doing to combat it.
What is SPAM?
- A spicy canned meat...I mean - a Monty Python sketch...I mean - - Electronic SPAM - is defined as mail that is unsolicited and bulk.
- It can come in many forms and include text, attachments, or photos
- Up to 80% of all email sent each day is SPAM and spam involving images is on the rise. Up to 50% of all SPAM sent each day is in the form of image files. Spam as pdf's is the new trend with up to 8% of all daily SPAM as pdf files. The #1 type of SPAM is greeting card SPAM.
How do they get my email address?
The most common way is from posting it on message boards, using it to make purchases, or posting it on websites. The less often you use your school email for these purposes the less likely you are to get spam. Also, do not click on the spot in an email that says "click here to unsubscribe" this just confirms that you have an active email address and the messages can start pouring in.
How does it get through?
We use the top SPAM filter on the market, a barracuda spam filter. There are still ways to sneak by it. All spam filters sort by text. There are certain words that when are used in an email mean something to us, but are innocent to a computer. Also, spammers try to trick the spam filter. "There are millions of ways to write a word using punctuation, numbers, and other symbols. One mathematically minded blogger who looked into it found that there are 600,426,974,379,824,381,952 ways to spell Viagra" (newyorker.com). Pictures are not text, so they can get through easier - the same thing applies to pdfs.
What can you do to prevent it:
- Don't post your email anywhere it isn't necessary
- Use a personal free email account for purchases and sites like ebay. This is a list of free email providers: http://webpages.maine207.org/district/websupport/Portal/top10.pdf
- Don't open suspicions emails and never click on a link you don't know where it is going to.
- Be wary of online greeting cards
- Never open an attachment from someone you don't know
- Don't buy from spam or forward it on to others
- Don't unsubscribe using links in a spammer's email
What is the tech staff doing to prevent it?
Our tech staff members have been attending seminars to become better at teaching our spam filter to block the spam we are getting. This is a never ending battle. Over 90% of the emails that arrive in the district is spam. For every 100 legitimate emails you receive over 900 are blocked. We are also going to be introducing a new way of listing emails on pages so that they cannot be stolen off of them.
I hope this gives you an idea of why and how spam gets through.

To say that the Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch was beloved ranks among "lungs like air" and "Hitler was a jerk" as one of the biggest understatements of all time. Tributes have been pouring in since the rapper's death on May 4th, but few have matched the Beastie Boys' playful spirit as well as filmmaker James Winters' recreation of the Spike Jones-directed "Sabotage" video (see the original here) in which he uses his kids and nephew to play all of the parts.
MCA would have enjoyed this.
