Brokeback Mountain
The year is 1963 and two jobbing farmhands (Gyllenhaal and Ledger) take a gig tending sheep on a remote mountain. During their months alone, they form a bond that extends to a sexual relationship, but once the job is finished they return to their daily lives. However, the attraction remains, and will haunt them over the next two decades.
When word first reached us that, after the critical opprobrium heaped on Hulk, Ang Lee was turning his attention to what was only ever described in the press as a "gay Western", we thought he'd taken leave of his senses — and, indeed, sensibility. A director with a remarkably broad palette, Lee had trademarked a devastating understatement in films as controlled and anguished as The Ice Storm, while Crouching Tiger revealed his magic touch extended to action too. Now there was a sense that maybe he was about to overreach himself, or (worst-case scenario) had lost all sense of identity and was about to over-indulge himself. Then, when stories leaked that the Cannes Film Festival had given it the thumbs-down this year — in favour of a line-up that consisted of directors we'd definitely consider to be his peers — it really seemed that the shit was about to hit Lee's fans.
We needn't have worried. Brokeback Mountain may even be Lee's finest film to date, an amalgamation of the work he's done before but pushed forward into the realms of, well, something we've never seen before. Though the opening half-hour is dream-like and idyllic, recalling the more beautiful landscapes in Gus Van Sant's most mainstream movies (My Own Private Idaho specifically), Lee's film takes arthouse conventions and absorbs them into a style that, while never approaching commercial, is both romantic and accessible. Much of this is down to the two leads — neo-Hollywood heartthrobs playing, to one degree only, against type — but Lee is careful with his framing and the first half hour — that ominous lead-up to the first graphic fumble — is suffused with rare beauty and an almost palpable sense of place.
Half an hour of mountains, sheep, changing seasons and minimal dialogue may seem a leap for most audiences, but Lee's touch is light instead of stately, and he leads us slowly into an affair that would otherwise seem forced and clumsy. As he says himself, Brokeback Mountain itself is a key supporting player in the film, a place where nobody else matters — or, more importantly, is. It's a vital part of the movie that prepares us for the inevitable day when Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) come down from their idyll and try to pick up their lives where they'd left off. Both enter into half-hearted marriages, have children and take shitty jobs, but the memory of the time on the mountain lingers. Could it last in the real world? Jack, ever the idealist, thinks so; Ennis, the fatalist and the realist, knows otherwise, shrinking back into his armour of plaid and leather.
It's here that Lee's film truly announces its intentions, and for a good portion of the drama Jack and Ennis are far apart; in fact, they don't even communicate for four years. In the meantime, they settle into drudgery and roles they resent, but Lee's masterstroke is to pull the camera back from their interior world. What sounds on paper like a traditional gay independent movie does not follow the usual formula and actually gives voice to its audience's prejudices and apprehensions. We hear their Brokeback boss, Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid), snidely pass judgment ("You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there"), and when Ennis' wife (a poignant Michelle Williams) sees exactly what the score is with Jack, her confusion — and indeed revulsion — is key to the film's climax, if it can be said to reach one in the usual sense.
But enough of Lee and his dexterity and subtlety — we've known about it all along, even in Hulk, which, for all the kerfuffle and despite a lumpy ending, was a sensitive sins-of-the-father story wrapped up in genre clothing. Jake Gyllenhaal, too, is something of a known quantity, a lugubrious presence whose big blue eyes will make Brokeback a paradoxically compelling object of morbid passion for teenage girls the whole world over. And we'll forget the terrific marketing strategy of having The Princess Diaries' star Anne Hathaway make her topless debut. No, the real revelation here is Heath Ledger as the bruised and sometimes brutal Ennis.
His tortured secret is the tragedy and the ecstasy of this powerful and moving film, a smart study of relationships that could but can't and never will be.
Those made uneasy by the subject-matter have little to fear from this elegiac and engrossing drama, a wonderful meditation on longing and regret shot with an eye for classic Hollywood. Gyllenhaal gets the show-role, but Ledger's buttoned-down performance is a triumph of quiet complexity.

Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful haunting film that will linger in your thoughts for a good long while. The acting from the cast is outstanding, especially Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The scenery and the music is stunning, calming and fits just right for this film.

Ang Lee's direction of what should be a heart wrenching love story is juvenile at best. Compared to the power of the story it is based on, Lee's slow, ponderous, and contrite portrayal seems to mock the subject and destroy the love that should exist in the movie. Lee banked on controversy to sell the movie and forgot he still had make a movie worth watching.

It's a contemporary story about a forbidden love that takes place in the beautiful landscapes of Wyoming… Up to here it looks like a completely common love story, but everything changes when it's said that the never-meant-to-be lovers are two cowboys. This time director Ang Lee breaks all boundaries and all prejudices to create a love/drama movie that unfortunately many may incorrectly label "gay" movie.

Boring, tedious, and plodding. Are we all watching the same movie? No one I know who has seen this movie liked it. The acting is terrible, the accents are atrocious, the writing is decent at best (hard to believe it was written by the same man who did Lonesome Dove), and the directing is adequate. The only saving grace is the cinematography and the attractive stars. I applaud the subject matter and its boldness but thought it could have been MUCH better. ... More

Ang Lee's elegant drama, appears at first to threaten to spill over into melodrama, however, due to a understated and senstive script, quietly powerful acting from all concerned and a hushed, dream-like soundtrack, Lee creates a vivid landscape of longing and heartbreak. Unfortunately, the meaningful silences tend to grate after a while, but other than it's saggy middle section, everything about the film works. Michelle Williams and Ledger stand out amongst an excellent cast, but it's the heartb... More

What is great about this story, is that the focus is not purely on sex. Yes, we know that it happens, and some people may say it is too graphic, but it is essential to the story. The passion between the two men extends beyond that of passion for sex, but is a true, heartfelt love that they know they have never and will never have with anyone else. The time they dont spend together makes them realise how much they need eachother, which makes this fim all the more beautiful and moving. They hav... More

One thing that really annoys me is when people (like dunner05) say the following: "Had it been a hetero pairing at its centre and chances are most reviewers would have awarded the more deserving three stars than the overwrought five." Yes, perhaps this is true. But then, surely that's just like saying "Oh, Titanic wouldn't have been as popular if it weren't set on a ship", or, "King Kong wouldn't have got such rave ... More

Nine-Pound Bass Earns Angler A Way To Win, Weigh-to-Win
BoatUS ANGLER Pro Staff member David Gnewikow and a hefty bass made a big splash at a Bassmaster Weekend Series event recently. His big fish and the resulting first-place check of $2,890 and a Weigh-To-Win contingency check of $150. Here's more of the story in his own words:
I was fishing a Weekend Series tournament out of Paris Landing, Tenn. At the end of practice, I knew that I could catch a bunch on Saturday. But I also knew that I was going to have to gamble on some big-fish tactics to have a shot at winning.
Early Saturday morning, I boated five or six keepers in 20 minutes, but nothing over three pounds. I knew that I could catch 18-19 pounds fishing schools, but I needed a big bite or two.
About 9 a.m. I decided to hit a river ledge where I have caught some big fish in the past. It's not really a place where they school. In fact, I told my co-angler that we might not get a bite, but if we do it could be a big one.
I got on my waypoint and made a long cast with a worm. The line tightened as the bait hit the bottom. I set the hook and immediately knew that this was a giant. "Net! Big one. Big one. Big one!"
The fish jumped and I thought it was a 6- or 7-pounder. She pulled like freight train and stripped the drag. I stayed on my knees with the rod tip buried deep in the water trying to keep her from jumping.
When the fish finally neared the boat, I pulled her up and my co-angler snatched the bass up with the net. The hook fell out in the net and I stared at this bass with my eyes and mouth wide open. It didn't even look real. I looked at my co-angler.
"Is that a 10-pounder?"
He said he thought it was probably bigger. It was huge. I slid the behemoth in the livewell and culled a 3-pounder. I left there with four fish that weighed about 13 pounds and one giant.
When I finally got to the stage there were quite a few interested spectators who had heard the rumor of this bass. My limit weighed 26.04 and the big girl weighed 9.42. After lots of pictures, we released her alive and well.
I ended up winning the tournament and got a healthy check for big fish, along with contingency bonuses from the BoatUS ANGLER Weigh-to-Win program, Triton, and Motorguide.
To be quite honest, I was a little embarrassed. I've come in second so many times because somebody caught one giant bass. I told the guys in second and third place that I was sorry I had "cheated" by catching that 9-pounder. I did feel a little bad about it, but then I realized that in 15 years of tournament fishing I've never weighed in a fish over 7 pounds. It was my turn and I took it in a big way.

Speedy Service Greatly Appreciated
I want to send praise to BoatUS ANGLER for the unheard of speedy response to my recent boat claim. During the course of a bass tournament, I told as many anglers as I possibly could about how BoatUS had approved the repair within one hour of the initial call. Because of my ANGLER policy from BoatUS, I was able to continue the tournament without further hesitation.
I have not had to file an insurance claim in the last 20 years, but I have heard firsthand from boat owners of the nightmares they have had with their insurance companies. I have told my story to many boat owners and even got three of my friends to drop their insurance company and switch to BoatUS.
I not only professionally fish but also manufacture a marine product. Boat owners are very loyal to those responsible for keeping them in the great outdoors; from boat manufactures, to motor manufacturers, to electronic companies, and yes, even insurance companies.
I am placing a BoatUS ANGLER insurance decal on my sponsor wrapped boat and will continue to promote BoatUS. Each person I spoke with, from first to last, went above and beyond what I would have expected to remedy my situation and get me back on the water so I can pursue my bass fishing career. Thanks to all at BoatUS.
Aaron Beshears,
BoatUS ANGLER Member

Weston Richburg Interview
Sr. / Colorado State / Center
Updated - 8-19-13
By: Alex Khvatov
Alex Khvatov: What are your measurements (height, weight and 40 time)?
Weston Richburg: I am 6'3 ¾, 302 pounds and my forty time is about 5.0 or 5.1.
Alex Khvatov: Coming out of high school, what programs showed interest in you?
Weston Richburg: I only played on the offensive line my senior year. I was out my sophomore and junior years. TCU, Colorado State and some Division II schools at Texas offered me.
Weston Richburg: I played QB, RB and LB early on in high school. I played QB my freshman year. I was 180 pounds at that time. I was out with an ACL injury for those two years. Then I came back my senior year, and they moved me to OL. I became bigger. I was 6'3 and 240 pounds during my senior season. I didn't have surgery right away. The growth plates were wide open. We all thought that if I had surgery right away then it would stunt my growth in some areas. I waited for about a year before I had surgery. I was still throwing shot put for my track team through the ACL injury.
Alex Khvatov: What made you choose Colorado State?
Weston Richburg: It was between TCU and Colorado State. I wanted to major in animal science. CSU had a good animal science program. It was the deciding factor over TCU.
Alex Khvatov: Describe your career at Colorado State.
Weston Richburg: It has been a very memorable experience. I was thrown into the mix at a young age. I was forced to learn the offense quickly. I have started for three years at Colorado State. This would be my fourth year. I played at guard early on and then I moved to center. I have progressed. I am a very experienced player. I am a guy that a team relies on. I am able to teach the younger guys.
Alex Khvatov: Tell us about your junior season.
Weston Richburg: I have scouted myself a lot over the summer. I wasn't pleased with my performance. There are things that I did well, but I need to do better. I played four years in college. Now I have one year to come back and play better this season. I need to redeem myself.
Alex Khvatov: What did you learn about your team after spring practice?
Weston Richburg: I learned that we have some talented guys. We all want to win and contribute. We have shown maturity in the spring. I hope that we continue to build and get better in the fall.
Alex Khvatov: What are your team and individual goals for this upcoming senior season?
Weston Richburg: As a team, the most important thing is to win. We haven't done it in the past. It is crucial. The pressure and desire for a successful football program has always been here at Colorado State. We need to start that legacy now. We need to develop a winner's mentality. Personally, I want to play to the best that I can.
Alex Khvatov: What are your strengths on the football field?
Weston Richburg: I bring a lot of athleticism. I move and pull pretty well. I do well on outside pull plays. I am a very physical player. I rough some guys up. I use my quickness to my advantage.
Alex Khvatov: What areas of your game do you need to improve upon?
Weston Richburg: I feel that I get tired over the course of the game. When I get tired, I don't stand straight up. I don't hustle like I need to. I need to fight through it and not let fatigue bother me. I need to push myself. I need to shut my mind off and have my body continue.
Alex Khvatov: What is the highlight of your career so far?
Weston Richburg: We haven't been successful in the last 3-4 years. We have had a lot of staff changes. It is the people that I have met. I have met a ton of coaches and players. I have gotten used to a lot of different people and personalities. It has opened my eyes. I know how to handle different personalities now.
Alex Khvatov: What is your favorite NFL team?
Weston Richburg: I am from Texas. I usually root for either the Cowboys or the Texans.
Alex Khvatov: Who is your favorite NFL player?
Weston Richburg: I like the Pouncey twins. They are really athletic and strong. They have had success. I can't narrow it down to just one player.
Alex Khvatov: What do you enjoy most about playing football?
Weston Richburg: It is cool to go to different places. We will go to Tuscaloosa this year. We have played at Boise on the blue turf. I have gotten a chance to meet different people and go to different places.
Alex Khvatov: What makes you a unique individual?
Weston Richburg: My leadership qualities. I have gotten a lot better at it. I welcome adversity. I push my teammates when they are tired. The younger guys look up to me.
Alex Khvatov: What are your hobbies?
Weston Richburg: I lounge around the house and relax. I watch movies and play PlayStation.
Alex Khvatov: What do you plan to do with your life after football?
Weston Richburg: I want to own a ranch down at Texas. I want to have some cows. I grew up on a farm. My dad always wanted to own a ranch. It is my future endeavor.
Alex Khvatov: Finish the sentence, Weston Richburg is….
Weston Richburg: On the field, I flip a switch. I get mean. I have this attitude and I enforce my will. I am a big softy off the field. I am a nice guy.

My son and I have been sick the last couple of weeks. He had mild pneumonia and I had a "summer cold" which I'm still fighting off. I haven't walked since last week. This evening I'm hitting the road and doing my two miles. I miss it!! Going to get started back on the C25k as well.
My 20 year old started college finally. It's been a long road for her. She is so introverted and shy and we have always been suspicious that she may have Asperger's. She has been homeschooled since 6th grade. I pulled her out of school because of this and now I know I made the right decision. Things are falling into place and I'm finding out that my daughter has many talents. I've always known she was an amazing artist. Recently, I have learned that she is also an amazing writer.
I hate that I go so long and not read the Sparkpeople blogs. I'm going to work on logging in daily even if it's just for a few minutes.
Have a great summer everyone and thanks for reading.
I officially started a beginner 5k prep program today. It's similar to the C25K. I did pretty well. Still walking 3 or more times a week. Usually over 2 miles.
Yesterday I did the March of Dimes walk-a-thon. Had a great time.
I haven't lost anymore weight but I haven't gained either. I'm getting my diet back on track.
I've gotten out of the habit of checking Spark every day. Uggghh.
What happened to spring?? This is the Ms Gulf Coast! It's not suppose to be cold this time of year!!
My son and I didn't do our hike this weekend. He is not feeling good. Has temp and sore throat. I'm staying home with him today.
I'm walking as often as possible and have started doing some of the Sparkpeople workouts.
Still going strong with a stumble here and there.
Have a fabulous week!
Sunday my 8 year old son and I took a hike on part of a 13 mile trail. We did two miles! I can walk two miles easily but was surprised that my little man kept up and even ran ahead of me of a few times. I know what our new pass time is going to be. Next time we are packing a back pack with healthy snacks and extra water and maybe go a little further. Had such a great time.
As of today I have lost 19 lbs! I hope I can keep this going. Sometimes it just has to click in my head that there are no short cuts to fitness and weight loss. Diet change and excercise are the key. So far I have walked two days this week. Tuesday I walked over 2 miles. Yesterday I walked about 1.5 miles. Had to cut it short due to work issues.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

More Clarification on United's EEOP
In response to AFA's advocacy, United issued an Inflight Services Administration Alert providing more clarification on certain topics regarding the Enhanced Early Out Program (EEOP) on October 14, 2014. Here are some highlights from their alert:
· Flight Attendants currently out on Voluntary Furloughs who are eligible for the Enhanced Early Out, and those who are awarded the Enhanced Early Out will likely be given an exit date on or about November 15, 2014, and should receive their Enhanced Early Out payment before the end of the year.
· For active Flight Attendants domiciled in DEN, LAX, ORD and other locations United believes is overstaffed, United explains that they could be released before the end of the year depending on flight schedule, the impact of United's productivity improvements, and the number of Early Outs awarded in each location. Other Flight Attendants in these locations may be released in the first or second quarter of 2015.
· Flight Attendants domiciled in JFK who are awarded the Enhanced Early Out are likely to be the last in the system to exit.
· United believes it is likely that all pre merger United Flight Attendants who are awarded the Enhanced Early Out will be released and receive their Enhanced Early Out payment no later than April or May 2015.
· United does not anticipate or expect Flight Attendants having the opportunity to transfer into domiciles such as NRT, HKG, HNL, LAX, DEN, ORD or FRA.
· United stated that once a Joint Agreement has been ratified they would need to revisit the structure of our system, and they can't predict what the domicile structure and distribution will ultimately be.
For more information about the 2014 Enhanced Early Out please visit our website.
Review: Inflight Safety Action Program (ISAP)
The Inflight Safety Action Program (ISAP), formerly known as OSAP, has proven to be one of the most effective safety tools we have. The program fosters a voluntary, cooperative, non-punitive environment for the open reporting of safety concerns that can include but is not limited to:
The primary purpose of the program is to identify safety events, and to implement corrective measures that reduce the opportunity for safety to be compromised. ISAP is not a tool for anyone who has intentionally shown a disregard to safety practices. Any intentional falsification or criminal activity will also deem your report unaccepted. Reports involving drugs, controlled substances or alcohol are not accepted into the ISAP program and should be referred to AFA EAP/Professional Standards.
The ISAP Program addresses when you should file an ISAP report as follows:
When a Flight Attendant has or thinks she/he has:
What should I include in my ISAP report:
What to expect from my ISAP
ISAP is just one way for you to be heard on all safety issues. To file an ISAP navigate to ourSafety section through the United MEC Website (www.unitedafa.org) then to the reports area and select ISAP. You will need to login to United's Flying Together website to access the ISAP program. Please be aware that the time-out for the ISAP reporting system is 30 minutes. Please make sure you SAVE at least once every 30 minutes.
Jetway Trades
Jetway Trades (Section 9.G.5.)
PDF version of article
Our 2012-2016 Contract provides for many improvements to increase schedule flexibility for all Flight Attendants. Beginning July 18, 2014, a Flight Attendant may now drop the last segment of an ID to another Flight Attendant who is on a day off, and from the same Domicile. This Contract Education piece is put together to ensure that you understand the whole Jetway Trade process and language.
9.G.5. Jetway Trades
9.G.5.a. A Flight Attendant may drop the last segment of an ID to another Flight Attendant by calling Crew Scheduling (SK) no earlier than one (1) calendar day and no later than four (4) hours prior to the scheduled departure of the segment to be traded for all segments that depart and arrive within the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico). For flights to/from FRA, HKG, LHR, and NRT and other Flight Attendant domiciles, a Flight Attendant may drop the last segment of an ID to another Flight Attendant by calling Crew Scheduling (SK) no earlier than one (1) calendar day and no later than six (6) hours prior to the scheduled departure of the segment to be traded.
In order to take advantage of this new negotiated Contractual Provision (Jetway Trades) the following must happen:
1. Flight Attendant wishing to drop their last segment of an ID to another Flight Attendant must call Crew Scheduling at 1-800-FLT-LINE option 3, and enter the airport station code where the flight segment wished to be traded originates. No earlier than one (1) calendar day and no later than four (4) hours prior to the flights scheduled departure. This includes flights to and from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
For Flights from FRA, HKG, LHR and NRT to and from other domiciles - no earlier than one (1) calendar day and no later than six (6) hours prior to the flights schedules departure. For example ORD to HKG is a flight segment available to Jetway Trade; however, ORD to PVG is not because PVG is not a domicile.
In order for Crew Scheduling to approve the Jetway Trade the following criteria must be met:
9.G.5.b.(2). The Flight Attendant who traded into the last segment of the ID must confirm with Crew Scheduling (SK) no earlier than six (6) hours and no later than two (2) hours prior to scheduled departure. She/he must check in for the flight at the designated reporting time and location per Section 7.I., 12.N. or the bid cover letter as applicable.
1. The actions of the Flight Attendant trading into the segment include:
• Contacting Crew Scheduling no earlier than six (6) hours and no later than two (2) hours prior to scheduled departure
• Must check-in for the flight at the designated report time and check-in location
The original Flight Attendant should be present at the check-in location and/or aircraft until replacement Flight Attendant arrives for the flight. If, for any reason the replacement Flight Attendant does not show up, the original Flight Attendant must operate the segment.
2. Once the trade is approved by Crew Scheduling neither Flight Attendant may:
• Trade the ID
• Be awarded PTO, ANP or DAT
Jetway Trades may not be processed during periods of significant irregular operations, or emergency situations.
If the oringinal Flight Attendant is reassigned or drafted during the ID before the replacement Flight Attendant has confirmed with Crew Scheduling, the Jetway Trade is concidered voided.
If the original Flight Attendant is reassigned or drafted after the replacement Flight Attendant has confirmed with Crew Scheduling, both Flight Attendants must mutually agree who will continue the ID and advise Crew Scheduling.
If the replacement Flight Attendant is drafted or reassigned after they have checked-in for the segment all Contractual provisions regarding drafting and reassignment go in effect including but not limited to minimum duty and trip rigs. Drafting and reassignment provisions can be found in the Contract.
If the replacement Flight Attendant goes illegal for their next ID after completing the traded segment, they will be removed from the ID and will not receive pay protection nor be subject to reassignment.
Pay Credit
1. (1) The value of the ID for the Flight Attendant trading out shall be reduced by the scheduled flight time of the segment traded.
(2) The replacement Flight Attendant's line of flying shall be credited with the greater of the scheduled or actual flight time for the segment.
(3) A Jetway Trade, in and of itself, shall not generate a rig for either Flight Attendant.
Original Flight Attendant's ID credit time will be reduced by the scheduled flight time of segment dropped.
Example: If the ID is a two (2) day trip worth twelve (12) hours and the last segment traded has a scheduled flight time of two (2) hours and fifteen (15) minutes, the original Flight Attendant scheduled flight time will be reduced by two (2) hours and fifteen (15) minutes for a total of nine (9) hours and forty-five (45) minutes.
Replacement Flight Attendant will be paid only the scheduled or actual flight time whichever is greater for that segment.
We invite all Flight Attendants to sign up for the Your AFA Newsletter. Forward this newsletter to your friends at United and Continental and tell them to hit the sign up button to quickly add themselves to the distribution list.

5 Tips for Writing an Effective Slogan
Highlight a key benefit.
The point of a slogan is to differentiate your product or brand from that of your competitors, while also underscoring the company's general mission. If you have an advantage over your competitors, or if your product or service has a unique benefit, you need to use it. Slogans are the first impressions for many potential consumers, so it absolutely needs to stress the company's worth. Isolate one key area of your business, and find a way to integrate it into the slogan. Example: "Great taste, less filling." (Miller Lite)

The CD features artists inspired by the people and places of rural southern Appalachia being devastated by mountaintop removal coal mining.
Falling Mountain is pleased to announce the release of an important new compilation CD called Moving Mountains: Voices of Appalachia Rise Up Against Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining. The CD features artists inspired by the people and places of rural southern Appalachia being devastated by mountaintop removal (MTR) coal mining, including singer/songwriter Andrew McKnight, songwriter and occasional West Virginia Public Radio host Kate Long, guitarist and songwriter Mike Morningstar, and venerable fiddler Vasser Clements.A growing coal industry practice in the remote hills and hollows of West Virginia, Kentucky and southwest Virginia, MTR permanently destroys mountains, river and stream valleys, and small communities in mined areas. Entire mountaintops and ridgelines are literally sliced off to allow easy access to the underlying coal seam. The resulting "overburden," consisting of dirt, topsoil, vegetation, rocks and destroyed trees, is then dumped into the valleys and streams nearby. These "valley fills" have buried forever nearly 1,000 miles of rivers and streams in West Virginia alone. As a result, catastrophic flooding has become all too familiar downstream of mined areas.Moving Mountains: Voices of Appalachia Rise Up Against Mountaintop Removal Compilation CD featuring 13 different artists and 6 interviews with local residents. Available at www.fallingmountain.com/mtr.html Moving Mountains was compiled by lifelong musician and activist Jen Osha, who first heard coalfield residents speak about the impact of MTR in their communities during her graduate work in Forestry at Yale. A Mountain State resident, Osha has devoted much of her time to harnessing the healing and storytelling power of music to help coalfield communities end the legal practice of MTR. "My family is very proud of its mining heritage. The men in my family have been miners back through to the early 1800s when my ancestors came from Germany. I am the first generation to be raised outside of the coalfields."It inspires me to see that so many musicians donated their work, so that they could use music as activists used it during the depression, during the Civil Rights Movement, during Vietnam. Not just to pay the bills...to inspire and create change," says Osha. "In the last year and a half, there have been a lot of difficult events in the coalfields: the closing of the last school in Coal River, the increase of the limits on coal trucks. Judge Haden's ruling being overturned...again. But what I saw was that people hung on to this music. It was something hopeful in a pretty dark time."Falling Mountain is proud to stand with these families and communities, and we are particularly honored to have tracks from two of our artists included on the CD. Singer/songwriter, poet and activist Andrew McKnight contributes the lead track "Company Town" from his latest CD Turning Pages, while West Virginians Keith & Joan Pitzer from the Cheat River Valley penned "Underneath a Blackened Moon" especially for this project.Most of the proceeds from sales of Moving Mountains will go to non-profit organizations helping mining communities threatened or destroyed by MTR, including the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and Coal River Mountain Watch. If you would like to help promote the CD contact Jen Osha at email@example.com.

I don't really organize too much as like to rediscover books organically. After all, some books read better when they are left to mature upon the shelf like a fine wine. At least, that is what I tell myself when I am in bookstores.

Baked fruit with honey
I like to use what is in season. Stone fruit, pears and grapes are lovely together; add dates and toasted nuts. It's a loose dish.

2 pears
2 cinnamon quills
Juice of 1 orange and zest of ½ orange
⅓ cup honey

Preheat oven to 200C.
Cut fruit thinly and place in a baking tray with the cinnamon, orange juice and zest.
Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake until golden (about 20-25 minutes) and serve with yoghurt, ice-cream or custard. This is really good cold the next day on muesli.

Implementation costs are modest: staff time for the training sessions, $130 per school for the questionnaire and computer program, $60 per teacher for classroom materials, plus the cost of a part-time or full-time coordinator.
Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies
The curriculum of Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) was designed to promote the development of essential skills in positive peer relations, problem solving, and emotional awareness. The curriculum (Kusché and Greenberg, 1994) is for use by elementary school teachers from kindergarten through grade five. PATHS provides preventive interventions as part of the regular year-long curriculum. It is focused on a classroom setting, but there is information and activities for use with parents as well.
The goal of the program is to prevent or reduce behavioral and emotional problems by instructing students three times a week (20-30 minutes) with systematic, developmentally appropriate lessons that teach emotional awareness, self-control, social competence, positive peer relations, and problem-solving skills. Lessons include instruction in labeling and identifying feelings, managing feelings and their intensity, understanding the difference between feelings and behaviors, and controlling impulses. The children are taught to understand the perspective of others, use steps for problem solving and decision making, self-awareness, and communication skills. In order to accomplish this, teachers receive training in a two- to three-day workshop and in biweekly meetings with the curriculum consultant.
The program includes 131 lessons to be taught over a period of 5 years. Each lesson, however, may require multiple sessions. An evaluation of one version of PATHS that includes a longitudinal study compared schools with the program to schools without. In the PATHS schools they found:
Program costs range from $15 per student/per year to $45 per student/per year, depending on whether current staff was redeployed or a new on-site coordinator was hired. Costs are based on a three-year proposal.
maintain acceptable school behavior with the support of the regular school discipline system and this program. The second group consists of 7 to 10 percent of the student population considered at risk for discipline problems. More targeted interventions, such as anger management, are recommended for this group to maintain acceptable behavior. The third group, representing about 3 to 5 percent of the student population, will then require more individualized programs; analysis of discipline referrals for 16 elementary and 15 middle school discipline referrals indicated that students in this group account for 40 to 59 percent of all school discipline referrals. Given the behavioral issues for this group of students, early identification and intervention may help prevent academic failure and increased problem behavior.

The Story Behind the First Piece of Public Architecture at Ground Zero
Big, sweeping thinking was endemic to post-9/11 New York. The aftermath seemed to encourage everyone not simply to pursue their ideas but to stretch them to their most ambitious, impressive ends. For architect Kevin Kennon, this meant solving the problem of the WTC's enduring chaos.
Kevin lived on Hudson Street, in Tribeca, about ten blocks from the destruction. Every night, the glow from recovery crews' floodlights illuminated his street. The rumbling of jackhammers provided twenty-four-hour-a-day white noise. In the midst of all this, Kevin thought it was too soon to be thinking about rebuilding, so one October afternoon he took a break from the whirl of design meetings and walked to Ground Zero. "It was chaotic, and it was extraordinary," Kevin said of the site. "There were an extraordinary number of people. People were climbing fences, it was unsafe." He paused and gave me a knowing look. "Something had to be done."

Great idea to help pay for adaptation projects in developing countries.
Norway is to double carbon tax on its North Sea oil industry and set up a £1bn fund to help combat the damaging impacts of climate change in the developing world.
In one of the most radical climate programmes yet by an oil-producing nation, the Norwegian government has proposed increasing its carbon tax on offshore oil companies by £21 to £45 (Nkr410) per tonne of CO2 and a £5.50 (Nkr50) per tonne CO2 tax on its fishing industry.
Norway will also plough an extra £1bn (Nkr10bn) into its funds for climate change mitigation, renewable energy, food security in developing countries and conversion to low-carbon energy sources, Environmental Finance reported.
It will step up spending on new projects to combat deforestation in developing countries to £44m, taking up its spending overall on forestry programmes to £327m. Previous forestry projects have involved Brazil, Indonesia and Ethiopia.

What's interesting about this is that the State Dept is trying to develop a long-term fix, rather than a full-on hand-out. They're developing a sustainable agriculture program with local farmers.
"With Feed the Future, President Obama's initiative on food security, we are working with the Kenyan government and smallholder farmers to achieve sustainable, long-term and life-saving agriculture development." More below…
About the Author: Dr. Rajiv Shah is the Administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Earlier this week, I visited the world's largest refugee camp in Kenya, where thousands of exhausted and starving refugees have sought food, water and medical care after fleeing…
Follow up to my previous post: Starvation returns to the Horn of Africa, extreme drought, high food prices, rape. The Economist and Al Jazeera are vigilantly covering the devastating drought in east Africa - the worst since the 1960s effecting Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Aid groups can't get in sufficiently to provide food, water, and shelter. Refugee camps, it seems, are run by militant rebel groups.
Some rebel groups have cut deals with al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab to allow starving refugees cross borders.
The U.S. State Department has issued a strongly worded letter to al-Shabaab to allow foreign aid into Somalia. Update below
Who is to blame? An oscillation in the climate in the form of La Niña—a cooling of the surface temperature across the equatorial eastern-central Pacific, causing big changes in airflow and weather patterns—is likely to have contributed to the droughts.
But humans too play a part. "This is a preventable disaster and solutions are possible," says Jane Cocking, Oxfam's humanitarian director. It is no coincidence that the worst-affected areas are also the poorest in the region. Long-term investment could have made villages and towns more resilient.
Sources: The Economist, Al Jazeera, CNN Africa.
Update: US Dept. of State sending food aid.
This week, USAID activated a disaster assistance response team (DART) operating out of Ethiopia and Kenya to work with the World Food Program, UNICEF, and over a dozen other organizations to coordinate emergency efforts to relieve the crisis. So far this year, the United States has provided more than $366 million to respond to the drought in the Horn of Africa, and continues to explore additional ways to assist those in need.
