This week New Yorker critic Hilton Als hailed Evgenia Citkowitz, author of a book of seven stories and a novella, as "a master of both forms." That book, Ether—her first—was published this spring. The New York Times declared "her voice, particularly her rhythm — half staccato, half headlong rush — is wholly her own. She doesn't sound like anyone else you'll have read in a very long while."
Her life story shows that truth can be stranger than fiction. Her mother was the writer Lady Caroline Blackwood, who was runner-up for the Booker Prize in 1977. Her stepfather was the American poet Robert Lowell, Lady Caroline's third husband. Caroline's first marriage was to the artist Lucien Freud, and her second husband—Evgenia Citkowitz's father—was a Polish-born, Brooklyn-reared Jew: the composer, pianist, critic, and teacher Israel Citkowitz.
Today Israel Citkowitz is so obscure that he doesn't have a Wikipedia entry, but in his youth he was considered a promising composer and was a close friend of Aaron Copland. His music was included in the landmark Copland-Sessions concerts of 1929, and years later his songs were recorded by new-music champion Bethany Beardslee. His pupils included the composer Elmer Bernstein. He was 50 when he married Caroline Blackwood, who was 28 at the time, and they had three daughters. They divorced in 1972, two years before he died.
On her mother's side of the family Evgenia Citkowitz's grandmother was Maureen Constance Guiness, heir to the Guiness brewery fortune. In 1995 Evgenia and her sister Ivana inherited £15 million from her. Since 1990 Evgenia has been married to the film actor Julian Sands, who first achieved fame for his starring role in Room With a View (1985).
Intriguing though they are, these lofty connections mean little compared to her talent. Any debut writer would be proud to get reviews like this one:
- "The stories are startlingly original, haunting, and often funny. From a hamster cage in Los Angeles to the bowels of the great houses of London and Long Island, Citkowitz depicts her characters' frailties and humanity with a mordant humor and tenderness that never diminish their complexity."
That's the most important reason to remember the name Evgenia Citkowitz.

Faculty Research and Outreach
During the past year, the faculty of the Boston College Lynch School of Education has developed and articulated a strategic vision to guide our work and strengthen our singular mission. Among our paramount goals is to support and disseminate innovative, rigorous, collaborative faculty research in education and applied psychology that advances social justice as it informs the work of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.
The three faculty research initiatives featured below exemplify our vision and mission. Each focuses on fostering academic and social development and enhancing life opportunities among young people and families, especially those living in poverty. The work has clear significance and relevance for educational practice and social policy.
These are just a few of the highlights of the superb work our faculty scholars are now pursuing. It is our hope that the outcomes of this research, in the spirit of our school's strategic vision, will both expand the human imagination and make the world more just.
Growing interest: Teaching STEM to urban teens
Even as he was accepting the prestigious Carnegie Foundation Massachusetts Teacher of the Year award in Washington, D.C., last November, Michael Barnett was eager to get back to Boston. One of his singular hands-on science education programs—teaching public high school students to grow hydroponic fruits and vegetables and then sell them at farmers' markets in underserved areas of the city—had launched the day before.

Research, policy, and practice to curb poverty's reach
For the last 16 years, Professor Rebekah Levine Coley has explored how poverty affects the development of children and adolescents from multiple perspectives: welfare and work, family structure and parenting, involvement of fathers, risk behaviors among youth, and access to low-income housing, child care, and early childhood education. Read more »
Closing the opportunity gap with data, systems, and support
"Teachers cannot do the work of counselors and social workers," educators told Mary Walsh when she inquired many years ago about how schools were addressing the out-of- school challenges of students living in poverty. Along with these educators, Walsh recognized that factors such as homelessness, inadequate health care, and community violence may seriously affect academic achievement. Over the past 15 years, Professor Mary Walsh has led the development of an organized approach to addressing these and other barriers that interfere with students' ability to learn and succeed in school.

Health and Safety in the Workplace
AFT members may not work in typical "industrial" settings, but they work in complex institutions where they are potentially exposed to numerous hazards. At times, these exposures come with health consequences—some more recognizable than others. For instance, recent research has found that:
- Teachers have higher rates of respiratory infections than other workers.
- Education employees (teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, custodians) and healthcare workers have high rates of work-related asthma.
- Nurses and other health professionals have higher rates of back injury and lower-back pain than construction workers.
- Teachers and paraprofessionals are at a higher risk of literally "losing their voices" than the general working population. Many leave the profession early and involuntarily because of serious voice disorders.
- School secretaries are at risk of several musculoskeletal disorders (carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic back, shoulder, neck pain) because of computer work.
- School bus drivers and special education teachers have much in common with mental health professionals and tax collectors—they all have some of the highest rates of work-related assaults.
School renovations, indoor air quality, mold and moisture, cleaning fluids, and chemicals all pose hazards to our members in the workplace. Less than ideal environmental conditions contribute to higher rates of staff absenteeism for health problems. Students suffer as well, and the impact on their learning and health can be considerable.
In short, your working environment can have an enormous influence on your health and well-being. Fortunately, many— if not most—of the exposures that lead to work-related illness or injury can be significantly reduced or eliminated.
AFT Health and Safety provides information and resources to help leaders and members identify hazards, and work toward preventing exposure and improving the environment. Training is also available to AFT affiliates on a wide variety of topics, including model district and employer policies, and contract language to improve environmental conditions, ergonomic programs and occupational risks.
We have posted a series of fact sheets on key health and safety issues. For additional information, contact AFT Health and Safety at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 800/238-1133, ext. 5677.

Frum Female Underground Films
A spate of Orthodox women are turning to filmmaking (some restrictions apply)
One afternoon this past winter, I waited at a café in Boro Park for Yuta Silverman, an ambitious young filmmaker who lives in the neighborhood. Although I had watched four of her films in one week, I didn't know what to expect. But when a beautiful red-haired woman entered with a beaming smile and an open, friendly face, I immediately recognized her as the star of Sheffield's Manor, a film about a group of girls hiding in a Red-Cross house during the Holocaust that she wrote a few years ago in only three days and produced at almost no cost.
How, I wanted to know, did a religious girl from the Bais Yaakov yeshiva system become a filmmaker? "I woke up one day and told my family 'I'm going to make a film,' " Silverman told me, matter-of-factly. Six years ago, without experience or expertise, she began making cold calls to people in the film industry she had heard of—both Orthodox and secular documentarians. She stumbled upon a small production company called Cicala Filmworks, and when Silverman met the director Stefan Schaefer she knew instantly she wanted to work with him. They hashed out some ideas and came up with a story based on her experience of befriending a Muslim colleague as a teacher at a Brooklyn school. The result was Arranged, a feature film with a frum lead character but intended for a secular audience, and that quickly became a hit on the Jewish film-festival circuit. Although Silverman wasn't involved in the actual filmmaking aspects—that was left to Schaefer and his crew—she was an integral part of the creative team and through this discovered a love of filmmaking and a desire to create them for her own community.
But if Silverman's path is unique, she is hardly alone these days. Indeed, Silverman and others like her are taking inspiration from Dina Pearlstein, considered the grande dame of frum filmmakers in Israel, who was one of the first ultra-Orthodox women to venture into this industry and also a rare example of someone who makes money from a small niche market. Pearlstein makes her films in both Hebrew and English versions and shows them all over the world, especially during the intermediate days of the Passover and Sukkot holidays when women-only screenings are popular. She and other religious female filmmakers are discovering what their audiences crave—suspenseful melodrama—and are working within the shifting confines of what religious authorities consider to be appropriate material to make movies for women who may have never seen a movie before.
For decades, movie watching for women in Brooklyn's Boro Park neighborhood was mostly limited to slideshows shown in community halls on holiday breaks in which narrators would speak over still images. The first frum woman to make a feature-length, religiously oriented film was Ronit Polin, who began her career as a playwright and theater director directing high-school musicals attended by over 5,000 women and girls at a time. Her first script, called Hate Not Thy Brother, was set in the Second Temple era and proved such a success that she spent the next 10 years writing and directing plays for Orthodox girls' yeshiva schools, including Bais Yaakov High School and Yeshiva of Brooklyn, all while working as a teacher and school psychologist in the Bais Yaakov elementary school. Soon after her first play gained immediate popularity, Polin began renting out her scripts to organizations and schools. To date, she has written six original scripts and directed over a dozen plays.
According to Polin, an enthusiastic reddish-blonde woman in her thirties—who spoke to me over tea and cake in her sunlit kitchen overlooking the Q train in Boro Park—this all changed in the fall of 2006, when she wrote a script about a French Jewish girl living in a non-Jewish home during World War II, held captive by a Christian woman who soon marries a Nazi worker. She decided to do something different with it.
"I thought, why put a living room on a stage?" Polin said. "Why not just film in an actual living room?"
Polin jumped at the chance to work on close-up shots, at different locations, and with graduates of her high-school plays who no longer had creative opportunities to perform, because they were religious women. When the organization that had first sponsored the film dropped the project, Polin raised money herself without knowing whether an audience existed. Her target audience was the ultra-Orthodox female crowd who had no other form of entertainment besides girls' high-school stage productions. The resulting movie, Ink, featured female actresses dressed as Nazi men and broke the conception that the medium of film, associated by many in the community with the secular evils of "Hollywood," was not kosher.
"It was very revolutionary," she said. "I couldn't call it a film. We called it 'drama on screen.' In fact, the tagline for the film was 'Ink Changes Everything!' "
Polin never got a rabbi's approval to make a film, but it turned out her reputation as an estimable teacher known for her "kosher" plays was all she needed. Her premiere screenings at school auditoriums and synagogues in Boro Park, Lakewood, and Monsey for Ink were sold out, with an astounding 350 women in attendance for each showing. The film then began showing worldwide and still continues to do so. Polin won't release it on DVD so she can control who sees it, and the proceeds go mostly to charity, she said.
"Ink broke the flood gates open," Polin said. "Film became OK and others followed. Filmmakers now walk amongst us. You don't have to sacrifice art for religion."
In 2009, Polin made her second film, Diamonds in the Dust, with the help of the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, an organization devoted to peace between Jews. It distributed the initial release of the film, which was shot partly in Israel, to 70 cities in one week for women-only screenings. The plot, which was based on her first play, was rather unusual—a historical fiction about a family struggling during the era of the Second Temple's destruction. The message was that strife in the Jewish community causes tragedy. The film remains a popular way to teach Jewish history at Orthodox girls' schools and at girls' camps every summer during the "nine days" before Tisha B'av, when Jews mourn the destruction of the Temple.
Polin's fellow filmmakers also tend to approach filmmaking as a useful medium to convey a moral message. In February I saw Tobi Einhorn's play And a Time for Peace, a three-hour production at Machon Bais Yaakov High School in Boro Park that drew hundreds of women. Like the other filmmakers, Einhorn had no formal training and began as a teacher at the school before directing plays there for the past 26 years. She told me she first decides on topics she feels are important and then creates stories for them. Silverman says that Einhorn is a "breakthrough artist, [the first] to make plays with real issues, such as going off the religious path or anorexia."
Einhorn's feature-length films—Blessing in Disguise, produced five years ago, and the more recent Almost a Family—are based on two of her previous plays and shot in New York. She directs and produces her films and plays with her colleague Chavi Klein. This year's play, And a Time for Peace, focused on two long-lost cousins who meet on a chance trip to Israel and discover their mothers had not spoken for 17 years. The characters—played by high-school students—were funny, memorable, and real. They struggle to maintain peaceful relationships and emphasize the strong need to maintain peace within the Jewish community.
Einhorn, like all the frum filmmakers I spoke with, was faced with the question of whether to release these films on DVD or show them only at private screenings. Technically the Orthodox rules of modesty dictate that women can sing or dance only for other women. Acting, however, falls within a gray area. Einhorn, who feels strongly that men should not see her female actresses performing, has decided not to release her films on DVD but instead to show them at women-only screenings on intermediate holidays on Passover and Sukkot in Boro Park halls and in other "controlled environments in religious communities." Silverman shows her films to live audiences but also sells them on DVD, with tags on the cover indicating that they are "for women and girls only."
Rachel Frankl, another filmmaker from Boro Park, met me at the same café where I met Silverman. Ironically, Frankl got her start sitting in on secular movie sets she happened upon in New York City while studying creative writing and psychology, and in Toronto while accompanying her husband on business trips. She would ask questions to directors, producers, and cinematographers on set who were often happy to mentor a budding frum filmmaker.
"It's not easy," Frankl said. "Obviously, the lack of financial backing or any form of grants or available investors are a huge hindrance. It requires a lot of determination, relying on generosity of spirit and time of others, not just finances. It's a massive job and for the most part a one-woman show. My husband helped with finances, my kids and my friends were on location and helped with transport and encouragement. Above all, though, there's a driving desire to succeed at doing this, to show that it can be done."

Spoiler alert: It was awesome.
Subaru never fails to deliver fun, reliable vehicles that go the distance on any road – or no road at all. So it was with great enthusiasm that I accepted an invitation to the Subaru 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid event in Key West, Florida.
True to the Subaru brand, the first-ever hybrid Subaru delivers versatility and utility in a sporty package that is a helluva lot of fun to drive. Touted as the first hybrid all-wheel drive crossover, its powertrain uses a 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER engine and integrates an electric motor into a Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) optimized for efficiency.
In Key West, we enjoyed an eco-kayak tour through exotic mangrove tunnels.
The 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. That's a great thing for Subaru owners with a passion for adventure and a soft spot for the environment.
The XV Crosstrek Hybrid complements the outdoor lifestyle and activities Subaru owners love with its go-anywhere and bring-all-your-stuff approach. Whether you're transporting a paddleboard in the roomy cargo area or strapping a kayak on the roof, this Subaru hybrid oozes capability.
Off the Beaten Path
For me, the off-road course designed especially for the XV Crosstrek Hybrid event was the highlight of the trip. A little backstory is required here. I am the 'fraidy cat who had to trade driving positions with MY MOTHER in Dubuque, Iowa, a few years back when the paved road proved too steep for my sensibilities and confidence in my non-Subaru.
So, yes, I was more than intimidated by the first incline on the formidable Subaru course. I elected to navigate rather than drive the first run.
After an intense, breathless, and insanely fun ride, I practically pushed my driving partner out of his seat for my turn.
Count the tires touching the ground!
Oblivious to the loose gravel, the XV Crosstrek Hybrid climbed the terrain like a billy goat on steroids. It barreled through the turns and easily traversed the rocky bumps, thanks to otsgenerous ground clearance of 8.7 inches. The ride thrilled me, and the Hybrid's off-road performance more than proved itself.

Transformers DLC Adds Soundwave, G1 OptimusContinuing the slow "roll out" of details regarding the first bit of downloadable content for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, publisher Activision has provided more information and images.
G1 Optimus Prime (pictured left) and Soundwave will be among the ten-plus new playable characters included in the pack, joining the previously pictured Sideswipe and G1 Starscream.
We still don't know exactly when the downloadable pack will hit PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, though it's said to be some time this summer, or how much it will cost. However, we do know that, alongside the new characters, it'll sport three more multiplayer maps, an "expert" difficulty mode, and new achievements and trophies.

Frey was spotted riding his giant boar, Gullinbursti, to Balder's Funeral in the story of the Death of Balder. Quite an entrance.
As you might guess from the title and date, Frey's got the same story in this text, but this time it's a little more poetic.
Frey is a character in the Marvel Comics series: he helped build the palace of Valhalla and brightened kids' lives everywhere.
In the science fiction Stargate SG-1 series, Frey is a member of the high council. Comic books, science fiction... this guy is a dork rock star.

Land Management and Vampires
I got an email this week from a blog reader named John. In addition to pointing out a ridiculously silly (and rather embarrassing) error I'd made, he shared with me a bit of news from the UK. It seems that the current approach to land use planning there involves taking "ecosystem services" into consideration. At the face of it, this sounds good. Recognizing the services provided to us every day by the natural world (such as oxygen from trees, waste breakdown by fungi, etc...) is absolutely necessary. So what's not to love?
And where, you may ask, do vampires fit into all this?
Stay with me here. You may have heard the term "energy vampires." If not, let me explain. An energy vampire is a person who just seems to suck the energy right out of you. Their constant complaining, endless problems, bad moods, and general pessimism are exhausting to be around. You know someone like that, right? Whenever you see them, you walk away from the visit feeling like you need a vacation! You have to get away from them just to recuperate. People like this are psychologically draining to those around them. They extract what they need from you, then leave. A relationship with such a person tends to be very one-sided, with one person doing all the giving and the vampire doing all the taking. Needless to say, such a relationship can become very dysfunctional.
The problem with the ecosystems services approach as it was explained to me is that instead of recognizing, supporting, and restoring the natural systems that provide us with so much, the attitude is "how much can we take without absolutely collapsing the system?" It is extractive rather than restorative. Such an attitude approaches Nature with the same dynamic as an energy vampire approaches a friend. And the relationship is just as dysfunctional.
A healthier approach to relationships involves give and take. I know you. You know me. I support you. You support me. We can rely on each other. Trust grows. Both of us are enriched by knowing the other. Substitute Earth for you in those sentences.
I've been Earth Pausing (see here and here if you missed it) for a couple weeks now, and as I do, I notice that an awareness of relationship is growing in my consciousness. I know Earth. Earth knows me. We are interdependent.
Let's leave the vampires to Hollywood, and cultivate a healthy relationship with Gaia instead.

Very interesting. Indeed, its sad that we've lost touch with that sense of reciprocity. Also sad that in places like Africa with its traditional cultures which (like most indigenous cultures) are sustainable by nature -taking only what you need and always giving back- these values have become eroded as so many of us aspire to western and modern ideals. It applies just as much to out relationship with people as it does to our relationship with the earth.ReplyDelete

Bush Grabs for "Dictatorship"
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
"They want the rubber stamp of dictatorship," said Sen. Chuck Schumer.
"They want one-party rule," said Sen. Patrick Leahy.
"An ill wind blows through this country. Your freedom of speech is in jeopardy," said Sen. Bob Byrd. "The opponents of the filibuster, the opponents of free speech say we don't need 217 years of American history."
Sens. Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, and Hillary Clinton also took turns at the microphone to denounce a Republican "power grab." They were speaking on Wednesday at a rally organized by MoveOn.org.
Senate Republicans, upset that a mere 95 percent of Bush's judicial nominations have been approved, have proposed eliminating the filibuster, and with it the minority party's ability to oppose a nomination and to insist on 60 votes rather than 51 for approval.
Sen. Reid said that news reports depict Democrats as wanting to shut down the Senate, but that it is the Republicans who want to change the rules if they can't get everything they want. Reid asked the 500 people packed into a hotel ballroom to prevent right-wing radio from drowning out Democratic voices on this issue.
While Reid and then Durbin spoke, their lines were punctuated by shouts of "Yeah!" and "Right!," all of them coming from the crowd favorite: Sen. Byrd.
Durbin discussed incidents in which Thomas Jefferson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt had tried to exert too much influence over the judiciary. This, he said, was another time to defend the judiciary's independence.
When Byrd took the stage and the standing ovation died down, he brandished a copy of the U.S. Constitution. He rattled off a list of unpopular Republican actions, including privatization of Social Security and spending a billion dollars a week in Iraq.
"Are we going to be bullied by a majority that wants to silence us on all of these issues? There must be no gag rule in the Senate!"
"The president," Senator Kennedy added, "has the veto, and we have unlimited debate and discussion." Kennedy made clear what he wanted to discuss: a nominee opposed to voting rights (William Pryor), another opposed to environmental protections (William Morris), and a third with a resume that includes planning the United States' new practices of torture (William Haynes).
Boxer pointed out that only 10 nominations have been blocked, while 204 have been approved. Blocking those 10, she said, had required Sen. Leahy to find security protection for himself and his family.
"They want to make this country into a banana republic," said Schumer, "where if you don't get your way you change the rules." One of the nominees, Schumer said, had called slavery "God's gift to white people." Another had said that a woman must be subjugated to a man. Another opposed all zoning laws. Another opposed all labor laws, including laws on child labor.
"If these people get on the courts, they will change America," Schumer said. "They want to go back, not to the 1930s, but to the 1890s. They want a nation in which the powerful get anything they want."
Schumer said that Republican Sen. John McCain had advised him not to try to stop these nominations. McCain argued that the right-wingers had attacked him fiercely in the South Carolina presidential primary in 2000. "I said, 'You forgot one thing,'" said Schumer, "'I'm from Brooklyn and I love a fight!'"
Kennedy and Boxer encouraged attendees to plan to work to re-elect Senator Byrd.
Clinton pointed out that the Senate is about to recess for two weeks. She asked people to reach out to some of the Republican senators who have been in the Senate the longest and appeal to them not to damage the way the Senate operates "just because they can."
If the Republicans can close off debate on this issue, they will close it off on anything, Clinton said. An American in Iraq, she said, was asked by an Iraqi who was trying to figure out how to set up a new democracy, "How do you protect the rights of the minority?" The answer from the American was: "Allow the filibuster."

School: Montana
Vertical: 35 1/2
40-yard dash: 4.61
Hometown: Stockton, Calif.
Key stats: A three-time all-Big Sky conference performer. He had five interceptions last season.
Here's the next installment of the DRAFT SPOTLIGHT feature, which we'll run periodically up to the NFL draft April 26-28 in New York.
The Falcons pick with the 55th pick in the second round. They also have picks in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. The first round will be held on Thursday, rounds two and three on Friday and rounds four through seven on Saturday.
Johnson is a corner with a second-round grade. His skill-set is intriguing because he can play outside, in the slot and perhaps even some safety.
He is the 60th rated player on Gil Brandt's Hot 100 list.
Here's a Q&A with Johnson:
Q: How do you answer teams' questions about playing at small school?
A:If anything, turn the tape on against Tennessee. They're an SEC team, the only D-1 team we played my senior year. Turn that tape on.
Q: What are your strengths?
A: I'm big. I'm fast. My technique is nice, being as big as I am.
Q: Do you have a preference where you play?
A: I'll go anywhere. I played in Montana. I've played in every weather. Weather's not a factor. I'll play anywhere.
Q: Think of yourself strictly as a corner, or can you play safety too?
A: I can play any position the coach wants me to play.
Q: What do you need to prove to the pro scouts?
A: If anything, my speed, to play corner. I like to play corner. I believe I'm a shutdown corner.
Q: Did you have some interest from Pac 12 schools?
A: Yes, ASU, Cal and USC. I went to the USC camp. I went to the Cal camp. They said they were going to offer me. They never called me back. USC never called me back, either. ASU was supposed to take me on a visit, usually when they take you on a visit, they call you. They never called me back, either. I didn't want to go to a junior college, so I went to Montana.
Q: Did that motivate you, or you were just able to move on?
A: Yes. Everything happens for a reason. I took that and ran with it.
Q: Why do you feel (your) technique is sharp despite your height?
A: Coming from a smaller school, they can say you get lazy. You can get bored, because they're not going your way. But I believe you can always improve on your technique, and going to the next level you're going to need that.
Q: Have teams addressed possibility of playing safety?
A: Yes sir, safety and corner.
Q: What do you think about that combination?
A: I like to play corner, but if the coach wants me to go back there and play safety, I can play safety.

The only reason TD & co make this move. Is if they truly believe he is an upgrade from all the slots we have. Which also means somebody will lose their job. Franks, Owens it willnot bode well for these two. Also with his multiple talents makes him a possible TD candidate. But still not an O lineman nor is he an d end.or tight end.

Sounds a little shakey to me. However, I haven't seen him play. A CB's ability to make the right moves at the right time and gracefully switch from zone to man coverage is MUCH more important than .2 seconds in the 40. Obviously someone saw something they liked to rank him where they did… thanks DLed for providing insight into prospects.

Given that he's from Montana it's a shoe in right? We have to have the most Shippensburg and Montana Grads in the league barre none.

He'll be a special teams safety if he's drafted no doubt. Same as Shann Schillinger.
March 23rd, 2012

Sounds more like a safety to me. Lord knows we're thin there and i'm sure one will be picked in the draft somewhere.
March 23rd, 2012
9:33 am
I take that back, he'll start at special teams but work his way in at Safety or Nickel for some team.
I think the Falcons are pretty happy at DB except for maybe a backup safety, I think they'll add a veteran.

I don't know if he'll be a good NFL player, but I DO think NFL people pay way too much attention to the tape measures and the stop watches. How quickly he can change direction and close on the ball is much more important than a 40 time. Remember he's 6-2. Wouldn't you like to have someone like that to match up against some of the big receivers in the NFC. Guys like Marqes Colston etc. All that said I think it would be great if he would last until the third round because I'd really like to see the Falcons get best D-Line or O-Line with the 55th pick.

D-Led… A couple of weeks ago Trumaine tweeted that we had a workout with us but he deleted days after the workout.. I guess the team asked him to.
His 40 is ok… His unofficial time (which is closer to teams stop watch) was 4.50
I like Trumaine tho.. I think he can come in and play the NB position… We could have a big NB that can cover the big slot guys like Colston… You would also have a big NB that can cover those bigger athletic TE's.

A: I'll go anywhere. I played in Montana. I've played in every weather. Weather's not a factor. I'll play anywhere.

Got 1 mock shows Trumaine going 1st in the 3rd round to Indianapolis who desperately need help against the pass, another going 90th (very late in the 3rd round) to Green Bay (that mock has the Falcons taking Dwayne Allen, TE from Clemson @ the 55th spot, Vinny Curry, DE @ 84)

Looking for last years rookie free agent Darrin Walls that was on the Falcons last year to step up. He is 6′0 played for Notre Dame and ran a 4.39 on his pro day coming out of college.
He's a 6-foot, 183-pound corner who excels with a physical brand of press coverage, and he doesn't mind throwing a shoulder into his team's run defense either. A three-year starter for the Fighting Irish

I think at spot 55 in the draft we have to go BPA according to our needs. I would say that its so hard to know who is going to be left at that spot that that's really the only way to play it. I don't want to reach for a DE at 55 that we could get in the third just because that seems to be our biggest need. I think we can find quality players in the 2-4 rounds (a la Corey Peters) we just have to be smart with the picks and not jump for a position that seems to be a glaring need.

DL – we have enough overpaid underachieving CBs already signed to log term contracts. A pass rusher is more important if you draft for defense. Personally I would go OL – not defense. Falcon's offense did not score a point against the Giants in the playoffs and lost because of a lack of OL play.
March 23rd, 2012
12:33 pm
It would be truly interesting to know Nolan's evaluation of current defensive personal and where he thinks upgrades are needed most – but of course we'll never get to hear the really inside stuff like that. So in the meantime we can speculate endlessly.

At least we have a second round pick, unlike N.O. with NO second rounder. HAHAHA
We already have 2 players from Montana, Bierman, and Schillinger.

I went to school with him saw him play every home game and dude can play. I don't care he played fcs. He's 6 2 can run decent can cover big tight ends has great balls skills is a threat to return any interception and can return kicks plus he hits hard as a MFer any team that picks him is getting great value in the 2nd or 3rd round. Mark my words he will be a pro bowler one day. A few good players have come from MT Scott gragg Tim hauk and more recently Kroy Biermann who has started at DE for the falcons. He's a great player and would love to see him on my niners but wherever he goes he will be good

4.61 looks like a safety to me. If he has the flexibility to play there, he could be an asset. Safeties with cover ability are a premium in today's NFL.

Leave Montana and other Big Pie in the Sky teams and players alone. Stick to drafting SEC players. They were studs in Little League, Jr. High, High School, College. They are the freaks. The biggest, strongest, fastest, etc. in a league competing against other freaks with the best coaches coaching them. It makes no sense to me now, never has or will make sense to me to go away from drafting outside the SEC. Atlanta is in the heart of SEC territory. The fans want to see players from their schools playing ball as Falcons. The fans want to know what the players did while in college. Some Joe from Pocomo does not interest passionate, avid, southeastern football fans. Com' on Tom Dimitroff dont be a Dicktroff. Get some Big Boys from the Big Boy League. This guy picked over a true SEC corner or safety, Com' on Tom. Build a professional roster. Change your draft philosophy or lose passionate fans. Change or stay mediocre. Change or always be little boys of NFL.

Changes in demographics and the nature of work have made it harder than ever to find and keep the right people - and business leaders are balancing this imperative with cost containment. How are businesses addressing this talent challenge? They're thinking more strategically about getting the talent pipeline right, focusing more on getting the right information about their workforce and investing more in their people. They're also doing more to empower staff and improve organisational agility. And importantly, companies are rebuilding trust with society – starting from within, with their employees.
Resilient organisations recognise that how they respond to uncertainty is as important as how they control it. In an environment where change is constant and where businesses must take greater risks to achieve the same rewards as in the past, the challenge is to become much more agile and adaptable – and indeed, to turn uncertainty into an opportunity. To do this, leading companies are improving their responsiveness through organisational design and management, and looking beyond the enterprise to improve systemic resilience.
In a super-connected world, the speed and scale of disruptive change is happening at an unprecedented level. More collaboration between more stakeholders can help not only to weather tough times, but to find opportunity and thrive in uncertainty. Trust is essential for creating and strengthening the relationships that build stronger institutions, businesses and societies.
At a time of a profound collapse of trust and confidence in business, PwC established the Building Public Trust Awards in the UK. In our view, too little attention was being paid to the role of transparency in good business reporting and governance. Although there's been progress in corporate reporting, trust in business has continued to erode. Leaders recognise that trusted relationships underpin their organisations' 'licence to operate'. And the explicit promotion of ethical behaviours has become a key priority. The challenge for CEOs is to lead by example – living the value and behaviours of their organisation and engaging with stakeholders in a way that's not just transparent but genuine.
In order to grow in an environment of constant disruption, businesses are adapting their approach to becoming more competitive. They're being more selective in how and where they grow – while at the same time assessing a wider range of growth markets. They're getting closer to their markets, developing local capabilities and a deeper understanding of local stakeholders. Businesses are also improving their operational effectiveness – balancing cost cutting and value creation. And companies are turning more to partnerships to achieve these goals.

Enzyme Supplements For Pets
The use of enzyme supplements in large animals has been around since the early 1980's, but it is only rather recently that the use of enzymes for pets has started to catch on. Enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that act as biological catalysts. The complex biochemical reactions that make up digestion of food in animals are regulated by thousands of enzymes, each promoting a specific reaction that takes place countless times every day. Enzyme supplementation in farm animals shows numerous benefits, including aiding in the overall health of farm animals and increasing nutritional utilization of the food given to the animal. Additionally, enzymes in feed supplements can increase weight gain over a shorter period of time and increase feed efficiencies. It is for these same basic reasons that the use of enzyme supplements for pets has started to catch on. Animal feed and pet foods are typically composed of plant material, cereals and vegetable proteins, which cannot be fully digested and utilized by animals. Enzymes are required to fully digest the food and most animals don't have enough of the required enzymes to fully digest the food. In addition, when pet foods are heat processed (as most are), enzyme concentrations in the food itself can be significantly reduced. For this reason, adding digestive enzymes to pet food will enhance absorption of nutrients. Feed utilization and digestion can often be increased by the addition of external enzymes to the pet food.
There are a number of enzyme supplements on the market designed for pet use. They typically contain enzymes such as alpha-amylase, cellulase, lipase and protease. These enzymes are typically manufactured from microbial fermentation processes from certain fungal species including Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger. These enzymes will break down certain parts of pet food. For example, many cereals have a proportion of their energy in the form of nonstarch polysaccharides (NSPs), more commonly known as fibre. Enzymes are to break down these NSPs, which lead in increase of metabolisable energy and protein utilization. It is for this reason that pet enzyme supplements such as Prozyme for Pets (from PRN Pharmacal) can unlock food nutrients to improve digestion. This allows for a more efficient use of the pet food by the pet and therefore less food can be given to the pet at any one time. That should help with the bottom line of holding down costs to the pet owner!

Acorn Penny Screens at Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, OH (Vocus) August 4, 2010
The Acorn Penny, a short film by filmmaking father â daughter team Laufer Film, will have its Cleveland premier at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Friday, August 13th, 2010. The short will play in front of the Brazilian feature documentary Only When I Dance.
The movie recently won first prize in the Twin Riverâs Film fest. Joanna Connors of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
âThough news reports from the war in the Congo depict a nightmare of atrocities, Laufer was determined to make a film that would alert viewers to the war without using violence.â
The movies also was shown at the Los Angeles Womenâs International Film Festival and was well received at the second annual Amelia Island Film Festival. The film was covered in Michelle Eggerâs article for the Jacksonville Nassau Sun. The short film was also selected to be shown at the âShort Film Cornerâ a market for short films held at the Cannes International Film Festival, May 12 â 22nd.
The Acorn Penny is a short film of hope. An artistic work of fiction that shines a light on a forgotten part of the world. A call to aid for the living and a remembrance of the estimated 6.9 million people who have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 1998 in what is called the Mineral Wars.
The Acorn Penny is a wondrous story of the power of a child's dream to save herself and the world around her. When four magical acorns fall to her feet, Kinshasa's dream of the future unfolds into an adventure she never imagined she could call her own. As she rediscovers her African past, the war torn present and her wondrous potential she realizes she must fight the forces that stand in her way, for no one else will.
This award winning short film was shot on the Red Camera utilizing background plates from the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Acorn Penny successfully brings together a dream world and a reality that viewers are immediately drawn into. This beautiful story of the potential of one girls dreams of the future is not to be missed.
The Acorn Penny recently won 1st place at the Twin Rivers Media Festival in Asheville, North Carolina. Playing to an embracing crowd, this short film of just fourteen minutes has open hearts and minds to the enormity of the crisis happening in the DRC, Democratic Republic of the Congo in regards to the mining of Conflict Minerals and the plight of women in this worn torn country.
The Acorn Penny has actively handed out information from two non-for profits that are currently working in the Congo. The Hope For The Congo program based in Washington DC and the International Relief Commission in New York City. Its been important, whenever our film screens that we have information about agencies that are playing a part in the recovery and healing of the DRC. Laufer said âWeâve been spreading the word, and hopefully people have learned something new about this conflict after attending our screenings.â
LauferFilm.com was founded in 1996 by Georgetown University grads Bill and Tiffany Laufer. Bill and Tiffany Laufer are a father – daughter film team who recently finish the new Christmas feature film Christmas at Maxwellâs.

The Acorn Penny heads to the Los Angeles Womens International Film Festival

The Acorn Penny heads to the Los Angeles Womens International Film Festival
Cleveland, OH (Vocus) March 24, 2010
THE ACORN PENNY, a short film by filmmaking father â daughter team, LAUFER FILM will have itâs next festival screening March 27th at the Los Angeles Womenâs International Film Festival. It is playing at the Laemmles Sunset 5 theater in the Shorts Program 2 at 3:15 pm.
The Alliance of Women Filmmakers Inc., a non-profit 501c(3) organization is the producer of the LA Womens International Film Festival. The group established the festival to empower women filmmakers to create diverse roles for women as well as increase exposure for women made movies. AFI trained cinematographer and director Tiff Laufer is a both successful filmmaker and a perfect fit for the festival.
The Acorn Penny is a visionary short film helmed by AFI graduate Tiffany Ann Laufer. The movie takes a unique view about a young Congolese girl who is forced to live in an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp due to the civil war in her native land. âWe felt strongly that this story should be brought to the forefront, but in a way to which western audiences could relate,â said Producer William C. Laufer. âestimates suggest that 5.9 million people have died in the DRC over the past decade". The UN is spending a billion dollars a year just in the Congo – we felt this was a story that needed to be told,â Laufer said. The film includes footage from the Cleveland Museum of Art collections archive and actual footage from Congolese refugee camps, footage provided by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.
Director / writer Tiffany Ann Laufer uses thirteen (13) year old actress Jada Young to tell the story of Kinshasa, a young girl who is at first seen as an ordinary American youth but whose different reality is gradually revealed and whose true situation becomes arrestingly apparent. Ms. Laufer uses four magical acorns, both real and computer generated, to lead and guide Kinshasa thru this world and her adventure. Tiffany Laufer said, âI was very much inspired by Guillermo Del Toroâs âPan's Labyrinthâ and finding that perfect balance in magical realism is very important in capturing your audienceâs imagination. We didnât want to focus on the war in the DRC, but on the dreams that still exist in the children who have survived the atrocities."
The film was well received at the second annual Amelia Island Film Festival where Michelle Eggers of the Jacksonville Nassau Sun called the Acorn Penny "more pressing, a movie which guides viewers through the metaphorical journey of a young African refugee and her magical acorn." Asked about her motivation for the movie, Tiffany Laufer said "I originally hoped to produce a feature-length film on genocide in the Congo, but because of the immediacy of the issue, created a short instead." "This message is too important to wait," Laufer said, "I knew that I needed to get it out to people as quickly as possible." In a similar statement of pressing need, Ben Affleck, an early inspiration to Laufer, has just founded the East Congo Initiative to help raise fund and awareness about issues facing the people in the Congo.
The short film was also selected to be shown at the âShort Film Cornerâ a market for short films to be held at the Cannes International Film Festival, May 12 â 22nd.
