What is the language of the future?
Do you think that single language will dominate in the future? If yes, which language can you think of? If no, why? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Jul 8 2011: I think it is sad that we are losing so many languages at such a fast rate. According to UNESCO, each month a new language is lost on Earth never to be spoken again, leading to a huge cultural loss. Efforts should be made in order to keep them alive, and natives who speak them in contact with their cultural roots. An example of this is Bolivia, which has made official languages the 37 native languages spoken all along the country. Wether this will succeed to help them linger or not, we will see.
However, I also think English is loosing ground as the dominant languages as people from different ethnic groups thrive on different areas.
Jul 9 2011: Very very true.I think we all need to take the Kiwi's as an example on how to conserve one's native language.By the 1980's the number of Maori speakers was not more than 20% of the community.
"By the 1980s Māori leaders began to recognize the dangers of the loss of their language and initiated Māori-language recovery-programs such as the Kōhanga Reo movement, which from 1982 immersed infants in Māori from infancy to school age. There followed in the later 1980s the founding of the Kura Kaupapa Māori, a primary-school programme in Māori." - Wikipedia
Jul 20 2011: Dear Muhammad, I'm sorry it took me so long to answer your question, but I had not noticed your answer until now. I am from Argentina indeed. Yet we didn't have a single ruling tribe before the Spaniards arrive, so there was not just one single language, but rather lots of languages and dialects depending on the region. When the conquerors came, they impossed Spanish and slaughtered most of the small tribes. Only the languages from the biggest tribes have survived, mainly Quechua (the language of the Incas) in the North, Guarani (from Paraguayan tribes) in the Northeast, and very little Mapuche in Patagonia. We are seeing some efforts today to teach these languages and save them from extintion, and I sincerely hope they succeed.

Any assistance from the United States or the international community,
Mr. Curie emphasizes, must be "guided by the Iraqi government
and the Iraqi professionals who make up the mental health field
The new Iraqi Ministry of Health and the Coalition Provisional
Authority have decided to focus their efforts on integrating mental
health within the primary care clinics that are being established
throughout the country, an approach that Mr. Curie strongly supports.
"Because the approach to treating mental illness in Iraq is
based primarily on a medical model, initial thinking from individuals
there was to rebuild institutions and hospitals," he says.
But considering the small number of psychiatrists, that is not a
viable option. "The Iraqis need a longer-term workforce development
plan," Mr. Curie says, "that includes training not only
for psychologists and social workers, but also for nurses and behavioral
health aides."
In addition, he points out, "We have models here in the United
States that would enable the Iraqis to use methods that are much
more cost-effective and treatment-effective." He cites an example
from his visit to the Al Alwiya women's clinic in Baghdad.
"The physician there, to her credit, recognized that women
with breast cancer facing mastectomies need emotional support and
assistance with mental health—both before and after the surgery
and throughout treatment. She was eager to have a psychiatrist come
to the clinic more often than the 2 days a week he comes now. In
the United States, we have seen that oftentimes the best people
to counsel a woman through a mastectomy are other women who have
had this procedure themselves. We have found the model of the recovery
support group to be very helpful in the treatment of cancer as well
as in the treatment of other diseases. This option might be useful
at the Al Alwiya women's clinic."
The Ministry of Health has established a behavioral health care
task force, Mr. Curie says, that is developing an overall strategic
plan to address both mental health and substance abuse issues. In
addition to supporting the plan to integrate such services within
the primary health care clinics, Mr. Curie observes that such a
system also provides an opportunity for the Iraqis to build a community-based
mental health system of care from the ground up.
The specifics of a possible SAMHSA plan to assist the Iraqis are
still to be determined. However, SAMHSA is focusing on expanding
the capacity of Iraqi health care service providers to assess mental
health and substance abuse and on enhancing training for primary
care physicians as well as psychologists, social workers, nurses,
and health care aides. SAMHSA is considering the possibility of
funding a mental health expert to assist the Iraqi behavioral health
care task force.
"It's essential that this individual speak Arabic fluently,
and understand Arabic and Moslem culture and concepts of mental
health," Mr. Curie says. "We must engage the Iraqis by
approaching them in a culturally sensitive way that includes the
ability to connect with tribal and faith-based leaders."
As a second phase, Mr. Curie suggests, SAMHSA officials are exploring
with mental health authorities in England and New Zealand the possibility
of sending a team of staff from all three countries to Iraq to provide
hands-on consultation and technical assistance.
"Both England and New Zealand are aligned around the same
recovery model of mental health that is growing here in the
United States," Mr. Curie says. "The recovery model recognizes
that people with mental and substance use disorders can and do recover,
and encourages the use of practices that are evidence-based and
consumer-driven. Our efforts may be better received by the Iraqis
if offered through a team that is international in scope."
Priority populations for treatment include individuals with serious
mental illness—in particular, women and children—and
Iraqi victims of torture. Efforts will also address the mental health
needs of the general population, still profoundly traumatized.
"On my visit, I was reminded of the universality of human
needs," Mr. Curie said. "Fundamentally, all people—whether
American or Iraqi—seek lives with jobs, homes, and meaningful
relationships with family and friends, all of which contribute to
a sense of stability and fulfillment. We want to communicate to
the Iraqi people that the United States supports them as they strive
for a better life."

The only pre-requisite course for the PLU MBA Program is Statistics. If a student has not taken it prior to starting the program, the statistics requirement can be met by taking ECON 500, Applied Statistical Analysis, which is typically offered in the Summer term. ECON 500 is a managerial rather than introductory view on statistics. This course will offer students the broader picture. The statistics requirement must be completed prior to the end of the first year in the program.
For students who do not wish to pursue a specific emphasis area, PLU offers the general MBA. Students can select any of the elective offerings to meet their three requirements.
The MBA program is 45 credit hours. Thirty six credit hours are dedicated to foundation core courses, nine are elective credit hours of your choosing that you can mix and match to create an area of emphasis or to meet your specific needs.

Please note the Ecosa blog has moved to: http://ecosainstitute.org/blog/ Please go there for our latest blog postings. Thank you!
The Habitat for Humanity project has come a long way since Phase 2. The students have since divided in to two groups, and will propose two alternate designs to Habitat at the final presentation, next week. The first proposal has brought careful consideration to the relationship of the buildings on the site. This design is for six 2 bedroom units. Each unit has a bottom story that follows the contour lines of the slope, allowing for a minimal footprint and less expense due to not excavating the rocks. The second story "bridge" will maximize living space and allows each unit a personal patio by using the roof of the bottom units.
The group has met with several neighbors adjacent to the property and want to make sure the granite rock formation is still visible and accessible from the street. The goal with this proposal is to allow for movement between buildings so the greater community is still able to reach and enjoy the rocks.
Parking is still of primary concern for the group, and will continue to become more developed as the final week progresses. They are exploring the option of using 3' strips of pavement for each tire to park on, reducing the pavement of an entire parking spot.
The group has created a pathway that connects to existing trails and outlines the rock areas on the site. This landscape design allows each unit to have their own outdoor living space. They calculated that 355,000 gallons of rainwater fall on this site, and there are three zones that will collect most of the runoff. The group is still figuring out the certain areas where they will create bioswale trenches to plant fruit bearing trees that will be watered with rainwater.
The second proposal has taken an entirely different approach. This group has started by looking at the family structure of typical Habitat families and has used that information to influence their design.
They have designed very well thought out floor plans for 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units.
Their site layout includes the design of two 1 br units, three 2br units, one 3 and one 4 br units, for a total of 7 individual homes.
Their units will be constructed on stilts with the goal of ventilating radon, which is emitted from granite rock. The floor plans are designed to stack functions, to keep pluming, AC and heating tight on the plan to minimize costs.
Group two is including the creation of bike paths integrating with existing social trails, and a community mail room that will bring all occupants to a central location. When asked if Habitat had any budget for "beautification of the site" the answer was essentially no. However, they did say that if there is a plan that makes a lot of sense and will increase the quality of life for the residents, there will almost always be a way to make it work given their dedicated volunteer base.
The groups will both continue to address the parking issue in the coming weeks, as well as the issue of making sure homes are handicapped accessible. Given the heat in Prescott, these units will probably require an air conditioning unit. This presents a "messy" issue of where these exterior units will go. Air Conditioner units on the roof will really decrease from the whole visual aesthetic of buildings that blend seamlessly into the existing rocks.
The tight constraints of two parking spaces per unit still may force the groups to reduce the number of housing units on their site. We will have to see which solutions these groups arrive at in the final push of the semester!
Last week our summer group loaded into the Ecosa bus to spend three jam-packed days in Tucson.
The first stop was at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum with the intention of getting acquainted with the flora and fauna of Southern Arizona. The group camped out both nights in the Gilbert Ray Campground in the Saguaro National Park. The first night they were lucky enough to observe a desert light show by mother nature as they watched monsoons pass in the distance.
The second day was a whirlwind multi-stop tour of the Tucson area with rainwater harvesting expert, Brad Lancaster. Brad took the students to many sites that demonstrated methods for passive and active rainwater harvesting.

Last week, several folks from Prescott area Habitat for Humanity came by the Ecosa studio to check out the progress on the Madison & Meaney project.
The students presented information about other Habitat affiliates and the precedents set as far as energy efficiency, multi-family units, and community spaces.
They have spent extensive amounts of time getting a handle on the topography and boulders of the site, so they also went over the areas that have been determined as the best spots to build upon.
They have begun exploring the idea of using prefabricated building panels for construction of the homes. Since the Habitat houses are built entirely by volunteers, using identical pieces will minimize the amount of training needed. Also, the buildings have potential to be as tall as three stories, so using a crane to drop large wall panels in to place could be the most efficient.
This sector compass of the landscape will be continually used throughout the project to demonstrate the winter and summer solar aspect, the views, the noise, the prevailing winds, the flows, etc.
Each student developed their own theoretical sketch of a site layout that will be able to fit 10 two-bedroom units, with consideration for parking- at 2 parking spaces per home. The goal of these individual exercises was to get each student to really explore a "out there" idea and then pull out similarities between plans to move forward with.
While Habitat was really impressed that 10 units were feasible on every plan, it seems that the biggest issue will be parking. Habitat proposed that the students figure out the parking plan first and then they can reduce the number of housing units on site if necessary.
Community and children are large components of this project, so in many ways the more housing units there are, the more eyes there will be looking towards the community spaces. So, "dense as possible" is still the direction the students are moving towards to increase the potential for a rich and diverse community environment.
The students had gathered inspiration from the examples that Mark Lakeman brought from City Repair in Portland, and they are exploring the idea of building community between the units on this site with the three Habitat houses across the street.
Stay tuned as this exciting project continues to develop!
Last Friday, Ecosa was honored to host Mark Lakeman, co-founder of City Repair Project, for an inspiring lecture and workshop in our studio.
Mark Lakeman is a national leader in the development of sustainable public places. In the last decade he has directed or facilitated designs for more than three hundred new community-generated public places in Portland, Oregon alone. He is a co-founder of the City Repair Project in Portland, Oregon and served as the Co-Director of Creative Vision from 1995 to 2008. He is presently active as a project coordinator in the annual Village Building Convergence. Mark is also the founder and principal of Communitecture, Inc, a cutting edge design firm with sustainable building and planning projects at many scales.
At Ecosa, Mark began the day with a lecture on placemaking. Mark believes firmly that "streets are for birthday parties," meaning that in our current grid-planned neighborhoods our streets actually isolate and restrict us from valuable connection making. He believes that we must work together to take back our streets as public places which will in turn increase community, safety, education, nutrition, connectivity, and many other of our societal goals. The best part of his message is that all of this can be done with hardly any money, and it is fun at the same time!
That afternoon Mark pulled out some toys and the students got to try their hand at Placemaking. He had a prototype neighborhood for Eugene, OR, with buildings set up in a very traditional grid format.
The students took the model out in the sunlight to gather solar information about the site at certain times of the year. They then used the solar analysis to determine locations for the buildings that will maximize passive solar features. Mark was able to tell the students details about the neighborhood's residents to make sure each home is connected to the rest of the community and what unique contribution they can bring.
This was a great exercise for the students, and all of these concepts will be an integral part of their ongoing Habitat for Humanity multi-family housing project.
For more information on Placemaking, check out the City Repair's Placemaking Guidebook for a donation of $15. (Also available in the Ecosa library for our local readers).
Today our students are with local ecologist, Rob Hunt. They are hiking up Prescott's landmark, Thumb Butte, while learning about what makes our particular region of the Southwest so unique!
The end of the trip brought a mix of emotions all around… but the consensus was "happy to be headed home!"

Relique: Vintage & Repurposed Interior Accents
Store Profile
- Location: online only
- Website: relique.com
Store History
At Relique, we bring you vintage and repurposed interior accents that are unique, interesting, classic, artistic and have personality. We shop all over the world for pieces that speak to us, pieces that we would put in our own homes. Much of our inspiration comes from the appreciation of Industrial Age design and maintaining that aesthetic for future generations. Relique represents a cross-section of then and now. Salvaged architectural elements and factory cast-offs as well as designs from artisans who have taken these elements and given them a new purpose. Our interiors have history, texture and soul. Many of our Relique finds are one-of-a-kind treasures that have become art objects - rescued from a building scheduled for demolition or found in the dark corners of an estate sale. Otherwise forgotten or ignored pieces of our history now have new life as display pieces and bring with them a greater appreciation of the past to our generation. Visit us often to see our ever-changing assortment of interior accents and vintage industrial furniture. We know you will see something that speaks to you.
Relique is a unique vintage decorative accessories webshop full of relics from the Industrial Age and equally cool repurposed creations, all at competitive prices for the market.
What is noteworthy about Relique is that most of the pieces in the collection once had utilitarian purposes and are reinterpreted as art objects in the modern day. Many of these finds are rescued from decaying buildings or estate sales by people who appreciate the interesting texture that historical objects bring to a space. For example, vintage scientific classroom posters, sinister-looking bird cages, and blunted chunks of exterior facades make up just a few of the fascinating offerings from this user-friendly store.

It's interesting how much the bird trap looks like traps for marine crustaceans.
Great website, great stuff. "Competitive prices," though? Yike$.
I think the "relative" price is supposed to be compared to high end design antique stores, not whatever stuff you find on ebay or garage sales. ;)
Nice collection of inspirational pieces. If you don't want to pay their prices, you can probably just use it as a nice idea list and start searching garage sales and junk yards yourself. :) Some of the pieces could also be recreated if you're the crafty sort.
Also, I thought the bird trap was a marine trap as well!
i'm day dreaming of that bird trap now, filling it with mosses and succulents. also lovin' that german education poster.
I love this website, but it is a little too expensive for me. Kaete has a great idea though, I'll be taking notes!
@Jerid, That sounds pretty, and something similar could be done with a bird cage if no bird trap were available.

For a Healthy Heart, Dont Skip Breakfast!
Prior research suggests that breakfast eaters may be healthier than people who skip breakfast, and now a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests a nutritious breakfast may be especially good for your heart. Specifically, the recent study shows that regular breakfast eaters may reduce risk factors linked to heart disease.
Breakfast eaters reduce heart disease risk factors
While prior research has shown that skipping breakfast may lower a persons energy level and increase the risk of weight gain, less is known about the effects of skipping breakfast on other body organs and functions.
In this study, 2,184 participants, 9 to 15 years old, initially filled out a questionnaire about diet and physical activity and stated whether they usually ate breakfast before school or not. Twenty years later, one third of the original participants filled out a meal frequency questionnaire, had their waist size measured, and had blood levels of triglycerides, total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, and fasting insulin (insulin levels after no food has been eaten overnight) checked. Participants were then classified into four groups:
Results showed that people who skipped breakfast in both childhood and adulthood had a larger waist size and total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels compared with people who ate breakfast in both childhood and adulthood. They also had higher fasting insulin levels, which indicates they have insulin resistance, a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease.
Breakfast skippers also tended to be single, have a lower education level, and were more likely to smoke, watch TV, get less physical activity, and have a less healthy diet compared with breakfast eaters.
The authors comment, Skipping breakfast was associated with a larger waist circumference, cardiometabolic risk factors, poorer diet quality, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. They add that promoting the benefits of eating breakfast may be an important public health message.
More reasons to be a breakfast eater
There are many good reasons to eat breakfast, and prior research has shown that compared with breakfast skippers, breakfast eaters tend to have:

Annie, celebrates its 35th Anniversary and opens at Jeffersonville High School Thursday, November 28.
Annie was first produced on Broadway in 1977 and ran for a record 6 years at the Alvin/Neil Simon Theatre in New York City winning 7 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Annie follows the rags-to-riches tale of a plucky but charming eleven-year-old orphan who refuses to be anything but optimistic, despite the presence of the wickedly funny Miss Hannigan, the battle-axe who runs the orphanage where Annie lives.
When Annie is selected by Grace Ferrell, Oliver Warbuck's personal assistant, to spend Christmas in the billionaire tycoon's mansion, the scheming Hannigan and her sleazy brother Rooster hatch a dark plan to get rich at Annie's expense. Despite some twists and turns and heart-wrenching moments, we all learn from ANNIE, the world's most beloved orphan, that the sun really does come out Tomorrow.
Jeffersonville High School Theater brings this story to life. A cast of 70 JHS actors, joined by 38 student technicians are hard at work with music, dance, staging and technical rehearsals. Producers added 32 elementary school orphan cast members and another 35 elementary school singers.
Student and senior citizen tickets are $5, adults are $10.
Group discounts for organizations purchasing 10 or more tickets together in advance are $5 each.
The show runs from Thursday, November 29th to Sunday, December 2nd. Evening performances are at 7:30pm and matinees are at 2pm.
Pre-show entertainment begins fifteen minutes prior to curtain.

Paramore recently announced that they've created their own festival-at-sea, the PARAHOY! Cruise, which sets sail March 7-11 in 2014. Frontwoman Hayley Williams says she's looking forward to hitting the high seas and connecting with everyone on the cruise.
"I am not really fully sure what to expect," she tells The Huffington Post . "But I am just excited to do something different, and to be surrounded by friends, fans and people who want to have a good time."
The PARAHOY! Cruise will offer fans the chance to see Paramore perform two concerts aboard the Norwegian Pearl as it sails from Miami, FL to Great Stirrup Cay, a small island in the Bahamas owned by Norwegian Cruise Line. Williams adds that while she didn't expect the band to stage an event of this magnitude so early in their career, she feels that the time was right to host their own cruise.
"To me, it's something that bands usually do when they're much older and been around for a lot longer than us," Hayley notes. "I'm just really excited to be able to enjoy it early on. Who knows what it will be like, but if it's great, maybe we will be able to do another one you know."
In addition to sets by Paramore, Tegan and Sara are slated to perform on the ship, with more bands to be announced soon. Visit PARAHOY!'s official website for more information.

Noninvasive laser tightens skin
Tours, France — Noninvasive CO2 laser resurfacing treatments have shown effectiveness in skin tightening, according to a study published recently.
Researchers at Francois Rabelais University in Tours examined 17 patients over two years who received laser treatment with the SmartXide Dot CO2 fractional resurfacing device.
Patients were examined before and about 80 days after their initial treatment. To assess skin tightening after treatments, variations in mechanical properties were measured in treated areas. Elasticity was measured using a Cutometer suction apparatus. The quantified analysis demonstrated significant improvement in elastic (R2 +5.9 percent), viscoelastic (R8 −9.4 percent), fatigue (R3 and R9 −16.2 percent and −19.7 percent, respectively), and thickness (R0 −14.9 percent) parameters.
"We found significant improvement in elastic, viscoelastic, fatigue and thickness parameters," the study authors wrote. "These results are consistent with significant tightening and also elastic-tissue improvement."
The study was published in the September issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

SanDisk Corp Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (SNDK)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- Although SNDK's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.23 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. To add to this, SNDK has a quick ratio of 1.84, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 50.61% to $315.63 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 34.08%.
- 43.00% is the gross profit margin for SANDISK CORP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of SNDK's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SNDK's net profit margin of 13.85% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- SANDISK CORP's earnings per share declined by 23.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SANDISK CORP reported lower earnings of $1.69 versus $4.04 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.50 versus $1.69).
- SNDK, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 17.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 2.2%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.

Stupid is as stupid does. And this was definitely stupid.
It doesn't surprise me that people, including people who work for Nike, don't know about Ireland's history. However, it does surprise me that people, especially those who work for Nike, don't know how to use a search engine.
The international shoe giant eventually apologized for naming, albeit unofficially, a shoe after the Black and Tans, a ruthless bunch of thugs who brutally slaughtered the Irish civilians in the name of the Crown. The group was a paramilitary force sent by England in 1919 to squash any uprising of the Irish Republican Army.
Instead, the Black and Tans widely raped and pillaged any and all Irish men, women and children who crossed their paths.
The name came from their black tunics and tan army pants.
Since then, the Irish memorialized the Black and Tans with a drink. It is half British ale (usually Bass) and half Guinness. (For the record, if it's made with Guinness and Harp, it's called a half and half.)
Nike thought they were naming the shoes after a beverage. Nobody thought to ask where the name of the drink came from. That is just plain stupid. We're not talking about a small town church festival that made an error. Nike is big time. They should have caught it.
Some reports quote Ciaran Staunton, president of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, as saying that naming the shoe the Black and Tan is the Irish equivelent of calling it the al-Qaida. That's about right. I'll add, it's like naming it the Pearl Harbor Bomber.
I can certainly understand an honest mistake. However, Nike is an international company. Learning sensitivities about other countries and other cultures is part of their daily ops. To me, this is like a NASA spacecraft that couldn't land because it did not convert metric to English. This is not rocket science. Well, in that case, apparently it would be.
Still, our society is getting stupider and stupider. This is another example. We cannot possibly memorize everything. We cannot truly learn by rote. We need to teach our children to go a layer deeper, to ask another question, to find out more.
No, no, Nike. You flunked the history test. Perhaps you'll do better in spelling. Perhaps, instead, you should teach your employees to memorize the word "Google."

Anne Hathaway has revealed that she approves of director Christopher Nolan's unusual ploys to keep the new Batman script a secret, insisting fans will have "so much more fun" not knowing any spoilers about the blockbuster.
Nolan went to extreme lengths to ensure the castmembers - including Christian Bale and Tom Hardy - were kept in the dark about the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, and even sent out scripts with pages missing.
The Love and Other Drugs star was closely monitored as she read scenes for her role as Catwoman, but she is adamant Nolan has the right idea about secrecy.
She tells The Sun, "I had to read the script in a locked room - OK, maybe the room wasn't locked, I could be adding that for dramatic effect. But you know what I mean.
"I read it through once really fast and I went back and read over all of my scenes and tried to memorise them as much as I could instantly. It was cool. You could call Chris and ask, 'What is this scene about again?'
"When I screen-tested I took the sides home and it was really awkward, because the producer had to hunt me down to get them back so they could be destroyed."
She adds: "This should be treated with a certain amount of secrecy, which is great, because I think it is so much more fun to discover it in the movie theatre when there is so much anticipation about the movie."
Anne Hathaway has revealed that she approves of director Christopher Nolan's unusual ploys to keep the new Batman script a secret, insisting fans will have "so much more fun" not knowing any spoilers about the blockbuster.
The Dark Knight Rises actor Tom Hardy, who is set to play the villain Bane in the upcoming Christopher Nolan Batman movie, has revealed how he believes that they have taken a big risk with the potential mumbling of Bane's voice. However, Tom did admit that he believes the audience will soon be able to tune into the voice.
It was reported last month that actress Anne Hathaway was on a crash diet in a bid to lose 16 pounds in 20 days for her role in Les Misérables. However a representative of Anne Hathaway has dismissed the rumours, claiming that she is only losing a few pounds and it is not as extreme as it has been made out to be.
It has been reported by The Mirror that The Dark Knight Rises actress Anne Hathaway has been put on an extreme diet, in a bid to lose 16lb in 20 days for her role in Les Misérables. Her character is the victim of abuse and also has to deal with extreme poverty.
It has been reported that The Dark Knight Rises actress, Anne Hathaway has been having some rather serious arguments with her fiancé Adam Shulman, regarding their wedding plans. The fights are said to be so bad that some of their friends are worried that the wedding might be called off.
The third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, in the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy is still a few months away yet. However, the closer we get to the release date, the more promotional material we are likely to see, such as these new The Dark Knight Rises images.
The Dark Knight Rises actress Anne Hathaway has revealed how she is a person who very much likes to keep her private life just that, private. Anne claims that ever since her ex boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was arrested and jailed for fraud back in 2008, she has tried to keep her personal life on more of a quiet note.
Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has revealed how she can empathize with her fellow actress Lindsay Lohan, since she too has made a number of mistakes in her past. Anne claims that she and Lindsay have a lot in common, as she too had a wild past but the difference was that she was not such a big star name as Lindsay Lohan is.
Emma Thomas, who is one of the producers on the latest Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, has revealed how impressed she was with English actor Tom Hardy, who plays Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Emma also admitted that Batman himself Christian Bale is the perfect person for an actor such as Tom Hardy to go up against in a movie.
English actor Tom Hardy has revealed that he is not concerned about the issue of Bane mumbling in the forthcoming Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. There have been a lot of concerns raised following the prologue, as it is very difficult to understand what Bane is saying but Tom insists that, as long as director Christopher Nolan is happy, then he too is happy.
Anne Hathaway is set to appear on the big screen as the latest version of Catwoman, in the Christopher Nolan directed Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. There have already been a number of pictures released of Anne in the Catsuit and it certainly does not seem to be as sexy as its predecessors. However, Anne admits that she absolute loves the Catsuit and the reasons for certain aspects of it.
A lot of people were quite surprised when it was announced that Anne Hathaway would be playing Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. However, everyone involved in the project has claimed that the doubters are set to be pleasantly surprised by Anne's performance as Catwoman and Anne has discussed a little of what fans can expect from Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

Professional bullfighters, called toreros (they are famously called toreadors in Bizet's opera Carmen, a word that harkens back to the days of mounted bullfighters), consist of the picadors, the mounted assistants with pike poles who lance the bull in the bullfight's first act; the banderilleros, the assistants on foot who execute the initial capework and place the barbed darts (banderillas) into the bull in the second act; and of course the matadors, who work the bull and eventually kill it in the bullfight's final act. Six bulls are usually killed during each corrida; three matadors, whose cuadrillas (team of assistants) consist of two or three banderilleros and two picadors, alternate in the performance according to seniority in the profession (the most senior matador taking the first and the fourth bull).
Bullfighters must pass through a trying novitiate as novilleros (novices)training first as becerristas (fighting two-year-old animals), then as novilleros sin picadores (fighting two- and three-year-old bulls without picadors), and finally as novilleros with picadorsbefore receiving the alternativa, the ceremony in which the senior matador confers on the novice professional status and acceptance as a professional equal, capable of dispatching any bull properly. These rules apply equally to the distaff side; female bullfighters (called matadoras or toreras, though some of them resent being called by the feminine form of the noun and would prefer to be called, like male bullfighters, toreros or matadors) have been around since antiquity, though very few have performed with distinction for very long. Should a bull prove cowardly or damaged or should a matador in a mano-a-mano match be gored or incapacitated, substitute bulls and matadors (both are called sobresalientes) are at the ready. Prior to 1974 in Spain, when female bullfighters were not allowed to dismount and kill the bull on foot, a sobresaliente would be called in at the end of the fight to finish off the bull, much to the disappointment and disgust of many toreras such as Conchita Cintrón, who long sought the same opportunities afforded her male counterparts.
Female bullfighters have long generated comment. Some toreros and bullfighting aficionados have never accepted them, seeing them as mere novelties at best or as trespassers on a sacred male domain at worst; from this perspective, the women should stick to their traditional role in the corrida, that of beautiful spectator. In fact, some critics of bullfighting hold toreras in special disdain. Some say the young attractive bullfighters, such as Cristina Sánchez, who in 1996 became the first woman to have taken her alternativa in Europe and who made her debut as a full matador in Spain, are responsible for breathing new life into a supposedly moribund institution. However, others have long welcomed matadoras and judged them accordingly on their merits as bullfighters.
What motivates many young bullfighters, whether male or female, to pick up the cape is the same vision of fame and fortune that motivates budding athletes the world over. And for the lucky few who make it, great wealth and adulation await them. Babe Ruth was often called the highest-paid athlete of his day, but, as Adrian Shubert points out in Death and Money in the Afternoon: A History of the Spanish Bullfight (1999), his salary paled in comparison to what Spanish bullfighters were then earning. One multiple-fight performance in Lima in the 1920s earned a star matador as much as Ruth made in an entire year.
Like any other commercialized venture generating great wealth and prestige, bullfighting has had its share of scandal. Bribes and payoffs for this favour or thatamong bullfighters, breeders, promoters, agents, and criticsas well as horn-shaving scandals (shortened horns can give an advantage to the matador), indiscriminate breeding (thus weakening certain stocks), the drugging of bulls, and the gorging of bulls on grain (thus giving them weight but assuring their weakness in strength and stamina) are among the kinds of malfeasance that have shadowed bullfighting's long history. Exploding banderillas (the barbed darts placed in the animal's withers during the second act of the corrida) were once routinely used to spark ferocity in bulls, but these were, not surprisingly, the target of much outrage by bullfighting critics as well as aficionados concerned about cruelty to animals and thus are no longer employed.

In Tuesday's column, I set out the parameters for ranking the Top 50 NHL players in terms of trade value.
After listing numbers 50 through 26 in the first installment, there's little need for more preamble before getting right into the top 25.
#25Player: Miikka Kiprusoff Position: GTeam: Calgary FlamesAge: 31Contract Expires: 2014 Salary Cap Hit: $5.833M Comment: His numbers have declined every year he's been in Calgary, but Kiprusoff has won 121 games over the last three seasons and is still in the upper echelon of NHL goaltenders. #24Player: Jean-Sebastien Giguere Position: GTeam: Anaheim DucksAge: 31Contract Expires: 2011Salary Cap Hit: $6.0MComment: Not as durable as some of the other top goaltenders, but Giguere is an elite puck stopper who has proven to be at his best when the chips are down in the postseason. #23Player: Roberto Luongo Position: G Team: Vancouver Canucks Age: 29Contract Expires: 2010Salary Cap Hit: $6.75M Comment: Front and centre in the discussion of the game's best goaltenders, but limited playoff experience and a contract that ends in a couple of seasons prevents Luongo from earning higher placement. #22Player: Jason Spezza Position: CTeam: Ottawa SenatorsAge: 25Contract Expires: 2015Salary Cap Hit: $7.0MComment: One of the game's most prolific scorers, Spezza is undoubtedly going to have tremendous career scoring numbers, yet he still needs to work on his all-around game to reach the next level. #21Player: Martin Brodeur Position: GTeam: New Jersey DevilsAge: 36Contract Expires: 2012Salary Cap Hit: $5.2MComment: A veritable senior citizen for this list, Brodeur still has four more years on his current deal and his numbers over the past two seasons (2.17 GAA, .921 SVPCT) have been among the best of his certain Hall of Fame career. #20Player: Zach Parise Position: RWTeam: New Jersey DevilsAge: 24Contract Expires: 2011 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $3.125MComment: A rising star who already has back-to-back seasons of more than 30 goals and 60 points, to say nothing of his cut-rate contract this early in his career. #19Player: Nicklas Backstrom Position: CTeam: Washington CapitalsAge: 20Contract Expires: 2010 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $2.4MComment: After a 69-point rookie season, the skilled Swedish playmaker sure looks like he could have 100-point potential in the not-too-distant future. #18Player: Nathan Horton Position: RWTeam: Florida PanthersAge: 23Contract Expires: 2013Salary Cap Hit: $4.0MComment: Already has back-to-back seasons with 82 games, 62 points and a plus-15 rating, which is impressive in its own right, let alone doing it for a subpar Panthers team. #17Player: Mike Green Position: DTeam: Washington CapitalsAge: 22Contract Expires: 2012 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $5.25MComment: Turned in a spectacular 2007-2008 season, emerging as possibly the most electrifying young offensive defenceman in the game. #16Player: Patrick Kane Position: RWTeam: Chicago BlackhawksAge: 19Contract Expires: 2010 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $3.725MComment: Diminutive playmaker made a seamless transition to the NHL, putting up 72 points as a rookie, and looks like he'll be a big-time scorer for many years. #15Player: Eric Staal Position: CTeam: Carolina Hurricanes Age: 23Contract Expires: 2009 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $5.0MComment: Hit 100 points as a 21-year-old and hasn't reached those heights since, but it's hard to get too critical after 113 goals over the last three seasons. #14Player: Mike Richards Position: CTeam: Philadelphia FlyersAge: 23Contract Expires: 2020Salary Cap Hit: $5.75MComment: In the course of one season, Richards went from a promising young checking centre to face of the Flyers franchise, scoring better than a point per game. His reward? A new 12-year contract. #13Player: Anze Kopitar Position: CTeam: Los Angeles KingsAge: 21Contract Expires: 2009 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $956KComment: Has exceptionally rare skill level for his size and is already pushing a point-per-game even though he doesn't have an ideal supporting cast in L.A. #12Player: Henrik Lundqvist Position: GTeam: New York RangersAge: 26Contract Expires: 2014Salary Cap Hit: $6.875MComment: One of the real up-and-comers between the pipes, Lundqvist has a 2.27 goals against average and .917 save percentage in three NHL seasons. #11Player: Dany Heatley Position: LWTeam: Ottawa SenatorsAge: 27Contract Expires: 2014Salary Cap Hit: $7.5MComment: 141 goals and a plus-93 rating in three seasons with the Senators. #10Player: Jonathan Toews Position: CTeam: Chicago BlackhawksAge: 20Contract Expires: 2010 (RFA)Salary Cap Hit: $2.8MComment: Immensely respected already as a leader and two-way player, Toews' rookie season was undermined by injury, but he still stands as the best in class. #9Player: Dion Phaneuf Position: DTeam: Calgary FlamesAge: 23Contract Expires: 2014Salary Cap Hit: $6.5MComment: Ferocious and physically intimidating, Phanuef's point and penalty minute totals have gone up in each of his three NHL seasons. #8Player: Joe Thornton Position: CTeam: San Jose SharksAge: 29Contract Expires: 2011Salary Cap Hit: $7.2MComment: There's no denying his point production (335 in the last three seasons), yet questions linger about his continued lack of sustained playoff success. #7Player: Vincent Lecavalier Position: CTeam: Tampa Bay Lightning Age: 28Contract Expires: 2020Salary Cap Hit: $6.875MComment: Appeared ready to challenge for best player in the game status before the Lightning's tailspin last season took the wind out of his sails. With a better supporting cast, and a career contract in his pocket, Lecavalier will be better this year. #6Player: Jarome Iginla Position: RWTeam: Calgary Flames Age: 31 Contract Expires: 2013 Salary Cap Hit: $7.0MComment: Scored a career-high 98 points and hit 50 goals for the second time in his career in 2007-2008. Few, if any, can match his toughness at such a high talent level. #5Player: Pavel Datsyuk Position: CTeam: Detroit Red WingsAge: 30Contract Expires: 2014Salary Cap Hit: $6.7MComment: More than just a magician with the puck, Datsyuk has proven he can get the job done in the playoffs and he's improved dramatically as an all-around player. #4Player: Ryan Getzlaf Position: CTeam: Anaheim DucksAge: 23Contract Expires: 2013 Salary Cap Hit: $5.325M Comment: Immensely gifted young pivot who has a contract that should prove to be a bargain if he even comes close to reaching his potential. #3Player: Evgeni Malkin Position: CTeam: Pittsburgh PenguinsAge: 21Contract Expires: 2014Salary Cap Hit: $8.7M (when extension starts; 2009-2010)Comment: When Sidney Crosby was injured, Malkin proved that he's every bit the kind of franchise player that every NHL team covets. #2Player: Sidney Crosby Position: CTeam: Pittsburgh PenguinsAge: 21Contract Expires: 2013Salary Cap Hit: $8.7MComment: This is no attempt to impugn the abilities of a guy who has 294 points in 213 games but, coming off an injury-marred season and with a shorter contract, Sid's left to a heartbreaking No. 2 on the inaugural value list. #1Player: Alexander Ovechkin Position: LWTeam: Washington CapitalsAge: 23Contract Expires: 2021Salary Cap Hit: $9.538MComment: 163 goals and 310 points in three seasons, combined with a contract that will keep him in D.C. through 2021, makes Ovechkin the premier asset in the game today.

COVINGTON -- Four young men were robbed at gunpoint around 6:15 Wednesday evening when their vehicle broke down on Mills Cove Drive, off Salem Road, in western Newton County, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
The driver of the vehicle told NCSO deputies that he hit something in the road that caused a hole in the gas tank and gas began leaking from the car. He pulled over onto Mills Cove Drive and called a wrecker service.
While waiting for the wrecker, the four young men were sitting on the curb.
"Two black males, wearing black hoodies and red bandanas over their faces with just their eyes showing, approached them," said NCSO Public Information Officer Deputy Courtney Morrison. "One had a silver handgun and the other one had a bat. The gun was pointed at all four males and they were told to get on the ground and empty their pockets."
Morrison said the perpetrators were able to get away with two cellphones, two wallets and more than $100 in cash.
No one was injured in the incident.
The suspects appeared to be on foot. K-9 units were brought to the scene, but were unable to pick up a track.
Evidence was collected at the scene, Morrison said, adding that the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Anyone who may have information on these suspects is asked to call the Newton County Sheriff's Office at 678-625-1400 or go to their website at www.newtonsheriffga.org and leave an anonymous tip.

If the 2 criminals were voters, does anyone doubt that they would have voted for democrats?
rockinglatina 1 year, 9 months ago
Yet another bitter republican. Instead of feeling concern for the victims, you choose to go the political party route. I 'm sure they couldn't vote either way because they are most likely convicted criminals with a very long felony rap sheet. Let's tackle the real problem here and step up police presence on Salem Road in Newton County, times are changing and we can't let these criminals run the town.
trOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL 1 year, 9 months ago
rockinglatina, nice logic. i can tell you thought about your comment a total .09 seconds before posting it. you think time changing is the reason this crime was committed.... pathetic excus. I can see you fired up the leftist excuse generator.. it was not a good one.
rockinglatina 1 year, 9 months ago
Well at least I beat you by 4 because it took you all but 5 seconds to come up with yours... yes times are changing. There is no respect for lives or people anymore. Forget about bad parenting and a failed juvenile systems for these scumbags. We need to take care of our hard working and respectful citizens., and trying to belittle me doesn't make any difference to my character but it does to yours. I'll be praying for you.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A new center at Michigan State University aims to look for better ways to preserve roadways.
The school's Transportation Center on Highway Pavement Preservation will lead a national group whose mission is to develop strategies for extending pavement life. It's getting $1.4 million for its work during the first year and will be funded through 2017.
According to the school, the center will focus on three areas: Improved materials to extend the usable life of highways; coming up with ways to monitor roads for problems or damage; and looking at ways to best manage such roadways for long use.
Others involved include University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; University of Texas at Austin; University of Minnesota; North Carolina A&T State University; and University of Hawaii.
