I think is important to check field's visibility before showing the button, so I modified the facebook-members-extension.php file, by replacing the line 27, with this:
<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_get_privacy_levels' ) ) : ?>
<a class="bp-fb-profile" target="_blank" href="<?php echo $fbcj_username; ?>" ><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-facebook/img/facebook_social.gif" />
<?php endif ?>
I also added the target="_blank", maybe this should be an option in plugin settings or just added by default to open in new tab/window.
Great plugin, thanks, Samuel Costa!

Great game!
I play a lot of card games on my iPad, and this is my favorite. It has faithfully survived system changes, which cannot be said for many games I have downloaded over the past few years. I recommend it.

Until the mid eighties, the costumed superhero as we know him in the West was a figure largely absent from Indian cinema. The primary exceptions were those intermittent attempts to appropriate the Superman character that seem to dot the history of modern South Asian film, such as the competing attempts by directors Mohammed Hussain and Manmohan Sabir, Superman and Return of Mr. Superman, which were both released in 1960 and , curiously, starred the same actor, Jairaj, in the title role.
Tag Archives: S
During the 1970s, Japan's Nikkatsu Studio became famous, and yes most likely infamous, as the number one home for sleazy sexploitation, violent pink films, and just softcore porn in general. Although hardly the stuff of highbrow cocktail party conversations, the thoroughly exploitive nature of the Nikkatsu films doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of boldness and innovation thrown into the mix, resulting in more than a few highly enjoyable and daring films. Yeah, there was a lot of crap, but there's always a lot of crap, and usually even the crap had something about it that was so bonkers and just not right that you couldn't help but nod your head in its direction. In other words, where as Europe during the 1970s was constantly making ponderous, over-inflated films that begged the question, "Is it art or is it porn?" Nikkatsu was more concerned with generating the answer, "I don't know if it's art, but it sure is cool."
Shaitani Dracula
In 1948, French artist Jean Dubuffet coined the term art brut, a phrase which became "outsider art" in 1972 when critic Roger Cardinal imported it into the English language. It referred to works of art created outside the boundaries of general culture. Specifically, it was art created by someone like an inmate in an insane asylum. Over time, the term was applied to a broader audience, but the key element remains that the art is a reflection of a mental state beyond that of even the average crazy guy. This is not the same as an established art movement that is consciously seeking to do something "outside the mainstream." An artist can't rationally decide to make art brut. As Dubuffet himself describes it, art brut can't be created by anyone who functions as part of regular society, even regular art society, and so this form of fierce and feverish creativity remains the sole purview of madmen and terrifying backwoods hillbillies who make sculpture out of cat skins, metal drums, and human skulls.
Santo and Blue Demon vs. The Monsters
God help me, I love Santo y Blue Demon contra los Monstruos. I love it like you love a three-legged dog. Sure, my love may be tempered by pity and mild derision, but I love it, nonetheless. And hopefully you do, too. Because, if not, we're going to have a problem. Santo y Blue Demon contra los Monstruos marked the 23rd screen appearance by its star, a man who entered the world as one Rodolfo Guzman Huerto, but who achieved legendary status in the world of lucha libre as El Santo, the Man in the Silver Mask. Santo was in his early fifties at this point, but, despite his prime wrestling years being behind him, his iconic status in Mexican popular culture was undiminished. In fact, he was still fairly early in his screen career at this point, with another couple dozen films ahead of him.
Space Thunder Kids
You know, some people would sit down with pen in hand and engage in multiple viewings of a great and respected movie, taking meticulous notes pertaining to various aspects of said film that would promote intellectual dialog amongst high-minded luminaries in the field of film criticism and analysis. I, on the other hand, did much the same thing with Space Thunder Kids, and by "high-minded" I mean low-brow, and by "meticulous notes" I mean drunken ranting, and by "pen" I mean bourbon. Trust me, a bottle of bourbon is all that's going to get you through the brain-frying glory of Space Thunder Kids, a film so utterly confounding, so dazzlingly inept in every single way imaginable, that it achieves an undeniable aura of the sublime that glows so brightly it threatens to blot out the rest of existence. And if you are worried that perhaps drinking an entire bottle of bourbon during a single movie could be detrimental to your health or to your comprehension of what you are watching, I say to you, "Have no fear, for Space Thunder Kids defies comprehension, and by the end of it you will be mopping up your own brain, which will have melted and oozed out the corner of your eyes as you vomit up your own intestines Lucio Fulci style." The bourbon only makes it hurt less.
Now if that isn't a good review, I don't know what is.
Satan Returns
Back in 1996, it seemed so unlikely that of all the action heroes in Hong Kong, Donnie Yen would be the one called on to foil Satan's foul schemes. But now it makes a strange kind of sense that Donnie Yen would, well, not so much punch the Devil in his face as knee the Devil's Envoy repeatedly in the ribs and once in the jaw, because here we are and Donnie Yen is the state-sponsored inheritor of Bruce Lee's sifu and nunchaku. Who else is left?
I had to watch this movie more than once to verify that George Lazenby actually has more dialog than just, "Hmm? Hmmmmm," mumbled with that smug chin-in-the-air look as if to say he has discovered something important and must now jut forth his chin and stroke it slyly. Who the hell does he think he is? Mr. Bean? He does have a few other lines, but for the most part, he just hums through the whole movie. I know this isn't the best way to kick off a review, but come on! Speak, damn you! This isn't Quest for Fire.
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
Look, I never said I was proud of the things I liked when I was kid, alright? And I'm even less proud of some of the things I watched now, some twenty years later, all excited about realizing how stupid they are only to realize that while, yes, they are pretty stupid, I still don't dislike them nearly as much as I probably should. The fact of the matter is that those movies I saw as a wee sprout camped out on the floor of my friend's house soaking in the warm glow of satellite television absolutely will not budge from their lofty spot of "fun" no matter how much rational thought and taste I apply in my vain attempt to dislodge them, and you all know that I am, if nothing else, a man of impeccable taste.

Shanghai Gesture
If you ever want to see a scene that perfectly captures a heady air of decadence and mania without going all over the top and Caligula on you, look no further than the scene in Josef von Sternberg's The Shanghai Gesture that introduces us to the opulent gambling parlor operated by the enigmatic Mother Gin Sling (Ona Munson). Centered above the main gambling floor, the shot assumes a bird's eye view of the hall and its inhabitants as it spiral downward into the fray, where people drink, gamble, and flirt with an orgiastic glee as the delirious music swells. It's an incredibly effective and a perfect way to sum up this oddball noir drama set in the indulgent underbelly of Shanghai just prior to World War II.
Scorpions & Miniskirts
If you can roll with the first five minutes of Scorpions and Miniskirts, a movie that shows utter contempt for bothering to explain anything at all or connecting one series of actions to the next, then you are probably going to be able to walk away from the viewing experience with a mild sense of having been entertained while, at the same time, feeling like you didn't quite get everything for which you'd hoped from a movie with a title as wonderful as Scorpions and Miniskirts. After all, Scorpions and Mini Skirts is a title that demands the benefit of the doubt, like Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory. Anyway, Scorpions and Miniskirts begins with an initial minute that seems like the movie might earn its more giallo sounding alternate title, Death on a Rainy Day. We open with a funeral, complete with all the bell-tolling gravitas of a continental Gothic horror film. If Peter Cushing stepped out wearing a pilgrimy black Puritan minister's outfit, it would not have seemed out of place. Surrounded by weeping mourners, accompanied by glum James Bernard sounding music, a coffin is lowered into the ground. The eulogy begins, and as dirt is being shoveled onto the coffin, the lid suddenly creaks open…

Reviewing Margaret Mitchell "Gone with the Wind" Letters, 1936-1949, Blair Rouse observes that critics have faulted Gone with the Wind "for lack of depth, or lack of symbolical or philosophical intricacy. . . ."1 This observation is apt. In fact, although the novel's narrative power is generally conceded, critics have indeed failed to see beyond the surface narrative. The novel does possess, however, a consistent mythic undergirding: that of the Great Mother, the archetypal feminine or Gea--the Earth Mother of classical antiquity.
In Gone with the Wind, Earth is treated consistently as this Great Goddess. She is the source of strength and endurance but also the jealous one who punishes those who scorn her rites and values. All the characters relate to this imagery, but Scarlett O'Hara's life is structured around it. She is the child of Earth. As Rhett Butler says, "Sometimes I think she's like the giant Antaeus who became stronger each time he touched Mother Earth."2 And so she is. Like the battling Antaeus, child of Gea, Scarlett draws her strength from Earth. But she also strays after false gods--the Apollonian Ashley Wilkes and the urban cult of acquisition in commercial, industrial Atlanta. These themes and conflicts form an underlying mythic substructure for the entire novel.
Earth-worship is an ancient and powerful religious impulse dating back for millenia through Western Asia, Asia Minor, and the Aegean. From India to ancient Greece and Rome, worshipers were well aware of the two-sided nature of the goddess: giver of fruitfulness yet queen of death. Across the centuries, literature speaks of the compelling power of Earth and implies, as well, her power as avenger. Worship of Earth appears in biblical accounts. It supports the myth of Cain, for, according to Genesis (4: 9-12), shedding a brother's blood insults the Earth:
Then the lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?" And the Lord said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

THE TIES THAT BIND: GENDER, RACE, AND EMPIRE IN CARIBBEAN INDENTURE NARRATIVES by ALISON KLEIN Adviser: Professor Ashley Dawson This dissertation traces the ways that oppressive gender roles and racial tensions in the Caribbean today developed out of the British imperial system of indentured labor. Between 1837 and 1920, after slavery was abolished in the British colonies and before most colonies achieved independence, approximately 750,000 laborers, primarily from India and China, traveled to the Caribbean under indenture. This is a critical but under-explored aspect of colonial history, as this immigration dramatically altered the ethnic make up of the Caribbean, the cultural norms and traditions of those who migrated, and the structure of British imperialism. I focus on depictions of marriage, sexuality, and homosocial relationships in novels and autobiographies about this time as a key component to understanding the history and impact of indenture. I show that these depictions are used to support ideologies of race, empire, and nationhood, and that even those authors who critique empire reinforce patriarchy as they do so. To further understand the rhetoric that helped shape these dynamics, I use a comparative approach, considering texts by authors from different time periods and different nations, including Trinidad, Guyana, Britain, and the United States. For example, I examine a common trope in indenture narratives, a relationship between a British man in power and a female Indian laborer, and the ways that this trope is used to justify empire in texts that were written at the time of indenture, such as Edward Jenkins' Lutchmee and Dilloo (1877), or to attack colonization and indenture in contemporary texts, like David Dabydeen's The Counting House (1996). Through a close reading of indenture narratives and the historical circumstances that produced them, I demonstrate that the British Empire rested on intersecting hierarchies of labor, race, gender, and class, and that these hierarchies linger in the Caribbean today.
This dissertation uses Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to dialogue with narrative theory: it investigates, on the global level, the raison d'être of narrative and questions, in particular, the existing narratological framework wherein the workings of plot have been discussed and apprehended. Inspired by Peter Brooks' classic Reading for the Plot (1984), this dissertation continues to forge an interconnection between human psychical dynamics and literary textual dynamics. More, it aims at reopening such a discussion of plot apropos of narrative meaning, naming gaps therein, and proposing some possible alternative terms with which to further along narrative/plot studies. In order to accomplish the abovementioned objectives, this dissertation brings in Lacanian theory and vocabulary to rethink, among all, the role of desire in narrative vis-à-vis that in the human subject--it argues in the first place that narrative's desire is the desire of the human subject (an extension of Lacan's famous dictum, one's desire is the desire of the Other). This formulation of an underpinning argument may sound too simple, but what the human subject desires remains an ever-perplexing one. Within the context of Lacanian theory, desire is never an independent term, being self-sufficient or unrelated to the other concepts. Rather, the Lacanian notion of desire points to a web of desire that revolves around such other locutions as (and placed here in random order): the real, lack, anxiety, the pleasure principle, jouissance, the symbolic, the Other, objet petit a, mastery, limit, and freedom. Premised on the argument that narrative's desire is the desire of the human subject and on the compass of Lacanian desire, this dissertation investigates the workings of the web of desire in narrative. Plot serves as the narrative agent that puts the web of desire--both in narrative and the human subject--in operation. Therewith posits this dissertation a way, a theory, to apprehend the psychological premise of narrative beginnings, the acting-out of narrative middles, and affective enjoyments embedded within narrative endings. Reading for the plot, this work concludes, is reading for more than pleasure. Reading for the plot is, rather, reading for the affective aesthetics of the human condition.
The Serial Autobiographies of Mary McCarthy, Kate Millett, Julia Alvarez, and Jamaica Kincaid explores the writings of four authors, each of whom wrote multiple autobiographical works. It argues that the serial autobiographer depends on her relationship with her reading audience and that the reader is an essential component of the long-term autobiographical project. In each case, the autobiographer uses her audience as a mirror in which to view herself as who she is changes over time. The four authors discussed in this dissertation provide particularly illuminating examples of the autobiographical self-in-process, as they all write their autobiographies with the explicitly stated purpose of figuring out who they are. McCarthy writes as an orphan who yearns to know who she is and where she came from but does not have the aid of the "family memory" that comes with having parents. Millett struggles with the identity of "lesbian feminist," a term that described two incompatible camps within political activism when she was writing in the 1970's; she also writes as a means of coping with severe depression and mental illness as well as the loss of self that she felt occurred after her doctoral dissertation, published as Sexual Politics, made her famous. Alvarez and Kincaid both use writing to grapple with racial/national identities that represent complex positions. In Alvarez's case, she is expected to be both Dominican and American--identities which are incompatible in many ways--and Kincaid, as a colonial subject in Antigua, was raised with the notion that she must try to be British but, at the same time, could never be British enough. As each author attempts to figure out who she is and communicate that self through autobiography, she draws the audience into the process as she revisits and in many cases revises her life story. In addition to offering the opportunity to view the relationship between the autobiographer and her reading audience long-term, the serial autobiographies studied here provide unique glimpses into the various ways in which the autobiographer's attitude toward truth affects the structure of an autobiographical project. In each case, the author's stance on the issue of truth--combined with the above-mentioned relationship with the reading audience--has a direct impact on the overall structure that the project takes. By following these projects over a period of many years, we are able to watch the ways in which the authors' attitudes toward truth change over time and how these attitudes directly contribute to the construction of the long-term project itself.
This dissertation examines the occurrence of catalogs and lists in the literary works of several twentieth-century authors, including James Joyce, poet James Schuyler, novelist and cultural historian James McCourt, the postmodern fabulist Thomas Pynchon, and the French experimental prose author Georges Perec. The dissertation seeks to trace how each author makes use of catalogs in his work, how catalogs form a central part of his style and subject matter, and how his use of catalogs can be read against the biographical, historical, and social contexts surrounding his life and work. A theoretical introduction situates my work among theorists of epistemology, narrative, objectification, and desire, theorists such as Foucault (order and classification), Deleuze and Guattari (rhizome vs. root systems), and Susan Stewart (the impulse toward collecting, the gigantic). Catalogs and lists are shown to be modes of literary representation with a millennial past, dating all the way back to Homer, and with strikingly contemporary resonances, especially for twentieth-first-century readers and critics living in the wake of Modernism and postmodernism.
"Witness to the Mad City Asylums" examines a wide range of autobiographical and biographical texts--fictional, nonfictional, and poetic--written by and about women and men who were institutionalized as "mad" in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. Placing emphasis on contemporary discourses of sex/uality, marriage, family, and psychiatry, the project closely considers the generic, institutional, and cultural forms within which new kinds of literature take shape. It focuses, for instance, on the appearance of several new subgenres of "madhouse literature" in the texts of mostly noncanonical writers, including Mary Jane Ward, Fritz Peters, Paul and Marie Hackett, Carl Solomon, and Allen Ginsberg. These writers adopt a variety of literary strategies in order to resist the notion of identity as self-contained, a resistance that is particularly evident in their in/ability to form interpersonal bonds, blur the worlds inside and outside the madhouse, and incorporate or exclude the perspectives of their fellow patients, family members, and hospital staff. They also evade the demands of linguistic and literary conventions and prevailing scientific and popular psychiatric discourses by creating a distance between their "sane" and "mad" selves which enables them to write with the authority of a (former) mental patient without being regarded as an unreliable "madman." By destabilizing binaries such as in/sanity, writer/subject, self/other, and inside/outside the mental institution, multiplications of the self in these texts suggest productive new readings of categories of identity and difference in and beyond madhouse literature. In closely examining this body of texts, it becomes possible to recuperate an important chapter in the history of twentieth-century literature and culture.
BEAUTIFUL BOOTSTRAPS: THE UNEVEN CLIMB OF FOUR BASIC WRITERS IN AN URBAN COLLEGE by Ann Larson This dissertation presents a study of four first-generation, immigrant college students at a non- selective, urban college. These students' stories of academic success and failure intersect with and diverge from the dominant narrative of education as a pathway to middle-class professions. The students profiled in this dissertation, two men and two women, often struggle with economic and vocational anxiety as they seek college credentials. The impact of gender, race, class, and immigrant status crosses the borders of their separate experiences to help explain the material conditions in which they strive to improve their lives and the lives of their families. To examine the dynamics of their academic and vocational outcomes, this dissertation draws from critical social theory that embeds individual experiences in a broad context of race, gender, and class inequality in the US. To discuss these students' literate backgrounds and their college experiences as readers and writers, this dissertation is also informed by research in the field of Composition and Rhetoric, particularly the sub-field of basic writing, a contentious practice that goes back at least forty years. While closely following four basic writers, this dissertation also explores the methodological and theoretical questions raised by ethnography, case study method, and critical discourse analysis and proposes some orientations for future research into the relationship between non-selective higher education and upward mobility.
"Exceptional Conversations: Classical Music and the Historical Imagination of Narrative Cinema" examines the ways in which film and music are bound together in their histories, forms, and meanings. More specifically it describes and interprets how music figures in some of the most singular directors' films and it traces the various appearances of equally singular composers' works in film. Thus, my dissertation includes chapters on Richard Wagner, Stanley Kubrick, Jean-Luc Godard, and Michael Haneke as well as sustained interpretations of music's role in films by Charlie Chaplin, Francis Ford Coppola and several documentaries by Werner Herzog, among others. My thesis is that the cinema is a contested realization of Wagner's idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Cinema is "the art work of the future," but not the one Wagner imagined. I thus argue for a definition of cinema form and history that reserves a more pivotal role for classical music in cinema than has been previously proposed.
In "Drawing Conclusions," I engage in an interdisciplinary examination of the words and pictures in four Victorian masterpieces of the illustrated novel, arguing that the unique publishing situation of each of these texts and the very different interactions between the authors and illustrators of each have resulted in four distinct examples of the functions illustrations in fiction can fulfill. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, written by Dickens and illustrated by Browne, among others, was published in 1836. Once Browne became involved in the project, Dickens established a working relationship between them in which he provided lengthy descriptions of scenes to be illustrated - sometimes of scenes not yet written - and it became Browne's job to interpret these descriptions. I posit that in Pickwick Papers, which became paradigmatic for later illustrated serial novels, the illustrations function as a sort of running commentary on the written text, complicating the idea of a division of labor between words and pictures even as the illustrations played up some of the same visual thematic elements in Dickens' written text. In Vanity Fair, written and illustrated by Thackeray a decade after Pickwick Papers was published, I find that Thackeray's full-page captioned plates and smaller vignettes both reinforce and add nuance to the written text, by creating tone and allegory. Thackeray also begins each chapter with a historiated initial - an illustrated capital that combines the functions of letter and picture in a way requiring readerly participation. Here, the many illustrations by the author are integral to an understanding of the novel. The reader must collaborate with the text in order to process both the word and picture at the same time. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, contains 42 illustrations by John Tenniel. Because their intended audience was children, and because Carroll acknowledged Tenniel's greater experience in publishing matters, the author and illustrator of Wonderland were very mindful of the effect of their collaboration. I argue that the result is a combination of word and picture in which the pictorial representation of the protagonist melds with her written representation to form two views on one solid and realistic subject, reinforcing Alice's normality as she explores a strange dreamworld. Finally, I discuss an edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813), published with illustrations by Hugh Thomson in 1894. The hundreds of line drawings in this edition draw attention to those aspects of the novel's plot most interesting to Thomson's late Victorian readership. The subtle gloss provided by these illustrations affected the way Austen entered the literary canon as well as the way Thomson's audience thought about Austen's own priorities. Ultimately, the four different scenarios I address - Dickens instructing his illustrator in an imperious manner, Thackeray illustrating his own written text, Carroll and Tenniel collaborating closely, and Hugh Thomson modifying Austen to suit his contemporary readership - each result in a different role for the illustrations in the narrative. In "Drawing Conclusions," I draw the conclusion that pictures can comment on, complicate, reinforce or update a written text based on the situation in which the written text and illustrations are combined.
This dissertation examines the rhetoric and discourses of the anti-corporate movement Occupy Wall Street, using frameworks from political ethnography and critical discourse analysis to offer a thick, triangulated description of a single event, Occupy Wall Street's occupation of Zuccotti Park. The study shows how Occupy achieved a disturbing positionality relative to the forces which routinely dominate public discourse and proposes that Occupy's encampment was politically intolerable to the status quo because the movement held the potential to consolidate critical thought and action. Because the "soft" means of re-capturing public consent were weak in 2011 because of the 2008 economic collapse, the dominant figure in this encounter, billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, led the way to instruments of "hard" persuasion, culminating in the orchestrated assault carried out on November 15th, an operation that saw the media sequestered, at night, in the dark, with no filmed images allowed or possible, and all street access blocked to supporters of Occupy. The use of "hard persausion" by the authorities in response to Occupy's discursive threat clarifies how reality is constituted through discursive and material action and suggests that alternative discourse and action has the power to reconstitute reality, redistributing power and working in opposition to human suffering and oppression.
In recent decades, literary studies has experienced a global turn, often understood as a move beyond national paradigms of analysis, which are deemed to be narrow and particularistic. Although wary of the tacit universalizing tendencies of global frames, scholars of race and postcoloniality have critically embraced the global by arguing for the need to theorize transnationalism from marginalized perspectives. However, casting the global and the national in oppositional terms ignores the fact that national racial ideologies both actively shape and are shaped by globally circulating ideas about race. An understudied site in postcolonial studies, Malaysia--formerly known as Malaya--is an exemplary case that unsettles this binary opposition. Informed by racialized distinctions between "native" and "migrants" inherited from colonial rule, the constitutionalized "special position" of "bumiputera" (literally sons of the earth or autochthonous group) citizens effectively renders race a defining aspect of national identity. This dissertation presents translation as an entry point into theorizing the relation between the national and the global in the production of the Malaysian racial imaginary. Drawing on theories of cultural translation, I begin with the premise that translation is a process of figuration, rather than a transfer of uncontaminated cultural essence, from one mode of signification to another. Through analyses of graphic narratives, novels and films, I consider how various modes of translation are used in these texts both to articulate a common national identity that unifies these groups, and, at the same time, to maintain their racialized distinctions. I argue that discerning the modes of translation embedded in the process of national identity formation--what I call, reading nation in translation--elucidates the transnational historical forces, be it the reordering of the British Empire amidst its impending end; the burgeoning global Cold War; or the intensification of global financial capitalism in the late twentieth-century, that shape the national racial imaginary. Reading nation in translation thus contributes toward a critical conception of transnationalism, one that not only presents the nation and the global as oppositional frames of analysis, but as mutually haunting one another. In foregrounding the global forces, both past and present, that animate the national racial imaginary, it also argues for the importance of attending to processes of racialization as a mode of globalization.

Enrollment of both trials was completed in less than 13 months following randomization of the first patient into the program in late April 2006. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of all patients in the two CAPACITY studies who were living and had not received a lung transplant, completed their Week 72 study visit.
Each trial in CAPACITY was designed to have greater than 95% statistical power to detect a 50% reduction in the rate of FVC progression compared to placebo after 72 weeks of treatment and greater than 85% statistical power to detect a 40% reduction after the same period, when compared to placebo. The pre-specified secondary endpoints of CAPACITY were:
1. Time to worsening of IPF, defined as time to acute IPF exacerbation, IPF-related death, lung transplant or respiratory hospitalization, whichever comes first 2. Progression-free survival defined as time to the first occurrence of either of the following (as compared to the patient's baseline): -- 10% absolute decline in percent predicted FVC, or -- 15% absolute decline in percent predicted Hb-corrected

There are two types of Supers, the Super Speed Graphic, and the simpler Super Graphic. The Super Graphic does not have the 1/1000th shutter found on the Super Speed. I have both types.
My Super Graphic (made by Toyo in Japan) was originally fitted with a 90mm lens and cam. I like the metal construction of the Super cameras, and some people prefer the extra movements these cameras have compared to the other Graflex models. I found a Toyo adapter which allows me to use more common Linhof type lens boards on the Graflex front standard.
The older Crown Graphic is also a nice camera, and it's wooden construction makes it a bit lighter, but I seldom use my old Crown, I simply like the Supers beter.

PATH to the Cure (P2C) is not just a 5K walk/run…it's a communityfest! We're 'more than a 5K' because we strive to be. We're about bringing the community together in a celebration of women for meaningful, healthy, family fun.
P2C was inspired on a foundation of service and compassion for our community. Our collaborative intention is to raise money - AND KEEP IT LOCAL - to support causes in our community that our neighbors rely upon for good health.
In just four short years, P2C has become a signature event in the Huntington area with over 8,000 participants and hundreds of donors from around the community contributing in excess of $260,000.
Your sponsorship of PATH to the Cure supports the St. Mary's Pink Ribbon Fund along with the PATH (Paul Ambrose Trail for Health).
The majority of the proceeds from the event will go to the St. Mary's Breast Center Pink Ribbon Fund, which provides free mammograms to local, uninsured and underinsured women in the Tri-State. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the development of the Paul Ambrose Trail for Health (PATH), a bicycle and pedestrian trail system for the city of Huntington. We hope you will sponsor our efforts to support good health and a strong sense of community.
"PATH to the Cure, to me, means no one is alone. It so desperately helps others with covering the costs of mammograms, which means an earlier chance of catching the cancer that can be treated and someday completely cured." - Gina R., breast cancer survivor

Release Date:
June 1, 2003
Date Published:
June 1, 2003
As Harry faces his upcoming fifth year at Hogwarts Academy, there are increasing rumors of dark times coming and of Lord Voldemort's return to power, and a secret anti-Voldemort society, The Order of the Phoenix, begins meeting again.
Most critics and readers agree that HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX marks a turning point in J. K. Rowling's enormously popular series in that the story takes on a more mature, darker tone. Now 15 years old, Harry faces the downside of being the world's most famous wizard-in-training and must adjust to changes in his relationships with friends and mentors. He also learns something quite disconcerting about his deceased parents and begins to realize how his personal demons make him vulnerable to the evil Lord Voldemort. Further complications arise when Harry grows disillusioned with the government of the magical realm and begins to question the power of the authorities at Hogwarts. A film version was made in 2007, releasing just days below the final book in the series.

otima, embora meu objetivo tem sido mais usar o hotel para pequenos momentos de descanso, tendo em vista que a maior parte do tempo foi fora..."
Great hotel ! Place is in front of the nile, service is great. There are several restaurants and bars inside the hotel. The pool is perfect. Rooms are clean but need change the TV to LCD. We were in three and we've had three devices to access the interenet but they only alllowed us to access one device at a time in the room. At the end, it did not mada any difference, becouse the internet at the room was not available (wireless). In the lobby they offer free access to internet, but the conection is 64 kb for all users. It is the same as nothing."

This programme positively changes the direction of the life of the adolescent mother in townships and rural areas by helping her return into the formal schooling system and supporting those back at school by providing practical and meaningful assistance, guidance and skills. We provide 1) support for young mothers academically for Maths and science excellence, 2) leadership development, 3) lifeskills training and 4) motherhood support and counselling, to enable them to break the cycle of poverty
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
1 in 3 expectant mothers is 19 years or younger yet only 1 in 3 of these young mothers returns to the formal schooling system. Teen pregnancy is inversely linked to socio-economic development and education levels, hence more prevalent at lower income schools and within poorer communities. The South Africa Demographic and Health Survey revealed a decline in the teenage pregnancy rate as education levels increase, with 7% of them with higher education compared with 20% with grade 6 - 7 education.
How will this project solve this problem?
Each month of the programme, the following will take place: i) 2 Maths and 2 science extra lessons will be provided each week ii) an English lessons will be provided each week, iii) leadership workshops, which include group mentoring will be held twice a month, iv) life skills workshops will be held twice a month, and v) a group counselling and motherhood support session will be held each week. Included in the annual programme are 2 camps and a 2 week work experience placement
Potential Long Term Impact
Graduates of our programme will demonstrate improved self-esteem by, importantly, returning to formal schooling to use education to break their cycle of poverty. They will be competent in Maths and science to enable them to pursue further studies in technical professions as South Africa has an acute shortage of female professionals in these professions. They will have a clear sense of their goals and how to achieve them, and have a stronger support network for themselves and their children.

LONDON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Gold erased losses and steadied at around $1,715 an ounce on Friday, but was on course for a weekly loss as investors focused on uncertainty over global growth and worries over the U.S. "fiscal cliff" when $600 billion worth of tax increases and deep spending cuts will set in early next year.
Spot gold was flat at $1,715.21 an ounce at 1452 GMT, and was on track for a weekly loss after prices climbed more than 3 percent last week.
U.S. gold was up $1.30 at $1,715.10.
Gold had slid more than 1 percent to a one-week low on Thursday following falls in equity markets.
World shares were headed for a second consecutive weekly loss on Friday as uncertainty over U.S. budget talks, a weak economic outlook and violence in the Middle East weighed on investors.
Gold had edged down earlier on Friday as some investors liquidated profits from bullion to cover losses in other markets such as equities.
Later, gold failed to react to an unexpected drop in U.S. industrial output in October.
Matthew Turner, analyst with Mitsubishi, said the lack of a gold price reaction could be because the market was trying to assess the impact of superstorm Sandy on the data.
"It's confusing data because of the effect of the hurricane," he said.
Industrial production contracted 0.4 percent last month after a revised 0.2 percent increase in September, the Federal Reserve said on Friday.
The Fed said the storm, which tore through the East Coast at the end of October, is estimated to have reduced the rate of change in output by nearly 1 percentage point.
The gold market's attention is largely focused on the budget talks between U.S. President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders. As the two sides prepared for the talks on Friday aimed at preventing the U.S. economy from falling back into recession, Democrats and Republicans dug in on their long-held opposing positions.
Gold's safe haven status would shine in the case of failed talks and political paralysis, while success in avoiding the fiscal disaster may dampen sentiment in gold, analysts said.
Technical analysis suggested spot gold could test support at $1,701 an ounce, a break below which will open the way towards $1,672.24, according to Reuters market analyst Wang Tao.
Gold has drifted over the past week or so as support from President Obama's re-election faded and political uncertainty around the fiscal problems kept some investors on the sidelines.
But gold investment demand remains resilient. Holdings of the SPDR Gold Trust GLD, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose to 1,339.616 tonnes by Nov. 15, just a touch off the record high of $1,340.521 tonnes hit in October.
China produced 38.5 tonnes of gold in September, bringing total output in the first eight months of the year to 288.2 tonnes, up 11.3 percent from a year ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Friday.
Oil rose towards $109 a barrel on Friday as a showdown between Israel and the Palestinians stoked worries about supply, but ample stockpiles and concern about the well-being of the global economy tempered gains.

Aussie Urban Myths
Urban planning in Australia is lost in a dense fog of presumption and theory. What's needed is to toss out the hype and to illuminate some of the common planning myths for what they really are: impediments to progress.
An example of planning hype occurred not long ago when ten urban academics loudly criticised the Victorian government's decision to develop about 40,000 hectares of new land on Melbourne's fringe, calling the decision short-sighted and unsustainable. read more »

The World's Fastest-Growing Cities
The evolution of cities is a protean process--and never more so than now. With over 50% of people living in metropolitan areas there have never been so many rapidly rising urban areas--or so many declining ones.
Our list of the cities of the future does not focus on established global centers like New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong or Tokyo , which have dominated urban rankings for a generation. We have also passed over cities that have achieved prominence in the past 20 years such as Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Beijing, Delhi, Sydney, Toronto, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. read more »
Decade of the Telecommute
The rise in telecommuting is the unmistakable message of the just released 2009 American Community Survey data. The technical term is working at home, however the strong growth in this market is likely driven by telecommuting, as people use information technology and communications technology to perform jobs that used to require being in the office. read more »
Redefining 'Niners': Football on The Great Plains
At 0.5 people per square mile, Harding County, South Dakota is one of the least populated places in the nation. The county's only high school, located in Buffalo, is small by even small-town standards, with 85 students in grades 9-12. However, few schools can match its gridiron success. Nicknamed after the primary industry in the region, "The Ranchers" football team has experienced only one losing season in its 44-year history.
Harding County's teenage boys suit up every Friday night and dominate 9-man football.
Nine-man football is a small-town sport. Unique to three upper Great Plains states (South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota), it was designed read more »
Shifting Religious Climate
While the new Memphis Islamic Center in Cordova, TN awaits completion, members meet at a nearby church building that houses Cordova's Heart Song Church. The Christian congregation has opened its doors to the Muslim community as a gesture of good will.
This kind act is in contrast with other recent activities, like an August arson fire to an Islamic Center's construction equipment in suburban Murfreesboro just south of Nashville. And to complicate things even more, there's that tiny little church that had planned to burn the Qur'an on September 11th. While all of this is going on, there is of course the ongoing debate surrounding plans to build a mosque near ground zero. read more »
Portland Metro's Competitiveness Problem
Portland Metro's president, David Bragdon, recently resigned to take a position with New York's Bloomberg administration. Bragdon was nearing the end of his second elected term and ineligible for another term.

The New World Order
Tribal ties—race, ethnicity, and religion—are becoming more important than borders.
For centuries we have used maps to delineate borders that have been defined by politics. But it may be time to chuck many of our notions about how humanity organizes itself. Across the world a resurgence of tribal ties is creating more complex global alliances. Where once diplomacy defined borders, now history, race, ethnicity, religion, and culture are dividing humanity into dynamic new groupings. read more »
China Development: Go West, Young Comrade
Deng Xiaoping, the pragmatic leader who orchestrated China's 'reform and opening-up' 30 years ago, once said that "some areas must get rich before others." Deng was alluding to his notion that, due to the country's massive scale, economic development could not happen all at once across China. Planning and implementation of such an economy would take years, even decades, and some areas would inevitably be developed before others. read more »
Latino Dems Should Rethink Loyalty
Given the awful state of the economy, it's no surprise that Democrats are losing some support among Latinos. But they can still consider the ethnic group to be in their pocket. Though Latinos have not displayed the lock-step party loyalty of African-Americans, they still favor President Barack Obama by 57 percent, according to one Gallup Poll — down just 10 percentage points from his high number early in the administration. read more »

First Look: MacGourmet Deluxe, recipe management
updated 10:20 pm EDT, Mon August 18, 2008
MacGourmet Deluxe
If you've ever stored a digital picture in iPhoto or sorted and arranged your favorite songs in iTunes, you know the convenience of storing and organizing data in different ways. Just as you can manage and rearrange pictures or music, so you can now organize recipes using a unique recipe management program called MacGourmet Deluxe.
At the simplest level, you can store recipes into this database so you'll always be able to find them again and print out perfect copies at any time. Of course, this basically turns your Mac into an expensive, glorified index card holder. For greater flexibility, this database also lets you tag recipes with keywords, rate them with one to five stars, identify them by ethnicity (such as Asian or European), rate them by difficulty, categorize them by course (such as appetizer, dessert, or vegetable), and identify them by category (such as fish, low fat, or salads).
With multiple ways to tag each recipe, the program can now rapidly search for all Asian recipes, all recipes suitable for dessert, or all recipes that use chicken and sour cream as an ingredient. For even greater specialization, you can identify the equipment needed to make each recipe. Now if you need a recipe that needs a food processor and a blender, the program can search and display only those recipes that match your criteria.
If you're watching your weight or are concerned about your health, the program can analyze the ingredients in each recipe and calculate a nutritional value. Now you'll learn how much fiber, calories, and saturated fat will be in each serving for a particular dish.
Besides letting you type in step-by-step instructions needed to prepare each meal, the program also lets you import pictures so you can see what the final product should look like. In addition, each recipe also includes a text box for typing in any additional information about each dish, such as noting that it's a favorite of your brother or contains peanuts to alert you not to prepare this dish to anyone with peanut allergies.
Once you've chosen one or more recipes, the program can automatically create a shopping list of the ingredients that you'll need to make everything. Print this list out, check off the items you already have, and you'll never miss a crucial spice or sauce ever again. To plan even further ahead, use the built-in MealPlan feature to track upcoming meals you want to make for entertaining or for yourself.
For cooking enthusiasts, the program even lets you create your own cookbook jammed full of your favorite recipes. Now you can share your cookbook as a PDF file or print it out complete with graphics and a fancy cover.
With so many ways to sort, organize, and search for recipes, MacGourmet Deluxe is invaluable for anyone who loves cooking and collecting recipes. With a $44.95 price tag and a 30-day money-back guarantee, MacGourmet Deluxe represents an interesting twist of database technology for making recipe collecting fun and easy.
