An interview with Kathleen Reinmuth and Cathy Rock, the subjects of "Inquiring Nuns."
Since he started as film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967, and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals, Roger Ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols, artists and unknowns -- some of them even before they became famous. There's hardly a major figure in the history of movies, from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st, that he hasn't encountered.
"Man on Wire," one of the most talked-about documentaries of the year, tells the story of how a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit illegally walked on a tight wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center on Aug. 7, 1974. It won the audience award and the best documentary prize at Sundance 2008, and is a superb film that works like a thriller.
But what kind of man would be brave enough, or foolish enough, or confident enough, to attempt such a feat? As someone who is himself afraid of heights, I wanted to ask Philippe Petit, and I did. My questions are pretty obvious. His replies are remarkable for their thoughtfulness, and his poetry of expression.
RE: You would have achieved your objective by crossing once between the two towers. Why did you do it eight times?
PP: My objective was not to cross once between the two towers. My objective was to venture through the negative space offered by the two towers and discover what kind of ephemeral, improvised theater I could write in the sky. My audience? Taken by surprise. My performance? A dot in the sky.
Why did I cross eight times? I did not plan to cross eight times, I was called by the towers, by the void, by my instinct to perform one more crossing...and one more...and one more... My friends, watching from the street told me later, "You stayed on that wire for forty-five minutes. You did eight crossings." I didn't have a pedometer. I didn't carry a watch. Actors who rely on those impediments should be thrown off the stage!
RE: Have you ever been blown off a wire by high winds, or been injured in a fall? How or when?
PP: If I had, I wouldn't be here to answer the question! As a high wire walker, I do not allow myself to "leave the wire" during a performance. However, during the months of apprenticeship (I was a self-taught wire walker at 17), and during the years of practicing I have had numerous "defeats" on the wire and that's good. That's how one learns.
On a very long and very high wire, I will not hope to not be blown off by high winds. I will have the certitude that such could not happen. By practicing for months before the event on a low wire oriented along the axis of the predominant winds, I put Aeolus on my side. I am not up there by chance. I am there by choice. And I know the wire. And I know my limits. And I am a madman of details. And to use one of your words, I cannot "fall."
RE: The film does a remarkable job of seamlessly merging actual and re- created footage. What was your contribution to this undertaking?
Thank you for your opinion. My contribution was to try to have the recreated footage reflect the truth of my story. I failed!
RE: The film speaks of the intense concentration in your face during a crossing. Is this a Zen-like state of concentration? What are you thinking about?
PP: It's always easy to describe something complex by applying to it an already known label. So, the "Zen-like state of concentration" is what people are inclined to say about my state of focus. But I would rather struggle for my description to be honest.
What I am thinking about is, I am not thinking. I am tremendously focused. I have reduced the universe to the state of non-existence. Only me and the wire. Except, my concentration carries no horse blinders. I have to feel, see, taste, hear, touch, and smell everything to the utmost, so I can catch any sign of threat before any threat appears.
RE: Is there a challenge still before you?
I use the word "challenge" only when referring to intellectual challenge, to artistic creation. Physical challenges do not interest me if they are not mingled with individual expression. What interests me is to inspire the onlooker. So yes, there are a thousand intellectual challenges still before me. I continue to street juggle, I continue to wire walk, to write books, to lecture around the world. As you can see, I don't like to give one-liners as answers in interviews!
RE: Would you describe your emotions on the day the towers fell?
PP: I prefer not to. It's too personal.

Polyvogue stroller suitcase - pushing around baby in style
We know what you're thinking - baby strollers aren't cool and have no place on Pocket-lint. But that's where you're wrong tech fans, this concept from designers Andrea Hanzl, Claudia Baer, Lisa Grabner and Andrea Seitne shows that strollers can be cool. And by cool we mean John Travolta, Vincent Vega cool, not John Travolta, Danny Zuko cool.
As it's only a concept design at the moment, there's no chance of seeing one of these bad-boys being pushed around Tesco just yet, but it's clear that the babies of the future are going to be travelling in some style.
The Polyvogue (even the name is pretty cool) is designed for children aged 3 and under and folds up to a suitcase size so it can be stored in an aeroplane's overhead storage. So no more waiting around at the carousel while the little ones moan because their legs are tired.
Oh, and don't forget to take out the baby before stowing it in the overhead locker.

By Dan Lafontaine, RDECOMJune 21, 2012
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (June 21, 2012) -- U.S. Army and Taiwanese officials met here June 18, to discuss opportunities for partnerships in military research and development.
Dale Ormond, director of U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, briefed Lt. Gen. Shou-Fong Chin, Taiwan Armaments Bureau director general, and his team on RDECOM's initiatives to engage internationally to maintain America's status in science and technology.
"One of [my priorities] is to extend our reach as much as we can for sharing and cooperation in science and technology," Ormond said. "The U.S. only makes about 22 percent of the worldwide investment in science and technology. Forty years ago, it was 40 to 50 percent. As the rest of the world is making a greater investment, we have to partner and collaborate where possible if we're going to stay at the leading edge of technology."
RDECOM partners with foreign universities, militaries and industry through its Forward Element Commands in England, Japan and Chile and International Technology Centers.
The command's Field Assistance in Science and Technology Advisors are embedded with Soldiers around the world to link emerging requirements with near-term solutions and provide commanders with immediate access to RDECOM's laboratories.
Ormond reiterated the vital role of RDECOM's international presence in providing the world's best technology to American Soldiers.
"We exist in the space between the state of the art and the art of the possible. We engage with foreign countries, universities and industries on what is the state of the art in all the technical disciplines where we operate," he said.
The 10 Taiwanese military officials also visited Aberdeen Test Center and Army Research Laboratory at APG. They continue their four-day U.S. trip to with visits to Washington, D.C., and Dayton, Ohio, to meet U.S. Navy and Air Force officials.

Their basic premise is that not all employees contribute equally to the success of a business unit or company. Some employees have an uncanny ability to identify profitable market segments before the competition, correct failed design plans before problems occur, or assemble a team quickly to solve difficult problems. They can't run the entire business by themselves, but their knowledge helps to keep their businesses in tact.
Unfortunately, managers often value these experts by their absence. When those with critical expertise leave the company, the void may not filled in time to stave off partial or complete collapse of a business unit or entire corporation. Those with deep smarts can be vitally important to a collective endeavor, and when they're gone the trouble just doesn't stop.
Harvard Business School emerita professor Dorothy Leonard along with Walter Swap, the former dean of Tufts and a professor of psychology, explored the world of "knowledge stars" by interviewing people at 35 companies in the U.S., Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and China from 2000-2002. Their interviews reflect the humanity of those involved in building businesses: the star talent, the aging egos, insecurities, cultural differences, social beliefs, and deeply useful skill sets embedded in those who are truly expert.Read more ›
Leonard and Swap have shown that deep smarts, the experienced-based knowledge held by individuals in a firm are vital to an organization's survival as well as to an individual's success. I've heard much about the necessity of "cultivating talent" or "managing knowledge" without any real insight into what constitutes talent or what kind of knowledge is important. The result I've seen has been impractical (but often very expensive) efforts to codify any available organizational information without any sense of how valuable or accessible it is.
Leonard and Swap dig deeper into the real meaning of knowledge. Their research has identified what kind of knowledge creates competitive advantage, and more importantly, how leaders can cultivate and retain this knowledge. I don't know anyone in business who has not been confronted with the realization that vital experience has not been captured or passed on...when someone retires, leaves a position or leaves the company. And most of us have experienced a competitive threat based on superior expertise. But the solutions proposed usually aren't based on an understanding of how people actually learn (rather than how we wish they would) and don't often result in the development of judgment and wisdom. This book gave me a whole new way of thinking about expertise and how to leverage it. Deep Smarts also spoke to me on a personal level. I found their suggestions for how to build personal deep smarts an extremely useful approach to my own career development.
I also appreciate that this book is grounded in rigorous research.Read more ›
One of the best ways to describe deep smarts is to provide an example of what it can do. They write, "When knowledge is fragmented, it takes deep smarts to aggregate it, make sense of it, see the relevant patterns, and act on it." So deep smarts is what it takes to define a path through confusion by sensing the connections in a blizzard of information. Wouldn't we all like to have that ability and have it flourish in our organizations?
Deep Smarts, the book, stands out among its peers in the rapidly growing field of knowledge management books on the strength of several virtues that are expressed in the subtitle. The authors show the reader how to cultivate and transfer enduring business wisdom, with `how to' being one of the key elements.
Cultivating deep smarts in an organization requires serious commitment from a manager. The manager must study it enough to understand its nature. It also requires a big investment in other people in order to give them the opportunity to develop deep smarts, which is to say, to move beyond ordinary levels of competence. Finally, the manager must maintain an environment that supports learning rather than stifling it. This means maintaining an environment of candor, fairness, and mutual respect. Anything less stifles learning and discourages the development of deep smarts.
Swap and Leonard provide an abundance of rather specific guidance on the `how' component.Read more ›

Dear Daughter,
It was fourteen years ago today that you were born. Forgive the cliché, but it really does seem like yesterday. I was warned by many: Childhood is fleeting - the years race by. But since the preceding years seemed stagnant waiting for you, I couldn't imagine it.
It took two agonizingly long years (and two miscarriages) before God answered my prayers with you. I don't think you realize that I longed for that moment in the way the hungry yearns for food, or the thirsty pines for water.
So many tears were shed. So fearful I was that the day would never come that you, a healthy beautiful baby girl, would be placed in my waiting arms. Before that day, 14 years ago, I simply wondered if it were meant to be. Surprisingly, when the day finally came, there were no tears; just joy and amazement.
I recall now, with slight amusement, that your dad became so pessimistic, even when a doctor ordered us to the hospital three weeks early, he still didn't believe you would be sent to us. The nurse laughed when he scoffed at the notion that we were there to have a baby. His doubt continued as two nights and two World Series' games passed waiting for you. But, after a painful yet worthwhile 49 hours, you were born. An extraordinary moment in time.
The prominent memory for me was how warm and heavy (despite a mere 6 pounds, 13 ounces) you felt when the doctor placed you on my stomach immediately following your birth. I will remember that moment until I die. The sheer wonder of having been part of creating a person - a magnificent, perfect, heavy, and warm person was amazing and overwhelming.
You were an awesome baby. You were sleeping through the night very early on and reached all of the exciting milestones on schedule, or sooner. But more importantly, you brought such joy to your daddy and me.
It's funny how a little squishy baby could do so much to entertain two adults who previously had to shell out cash for concerts, football games, and cover charges for amusement. Every little coo and laugh brought such delight that we couldn't wait for more. Your first words and first steps were more impressive than any reality show-idol.
The countless memories of the last 14 years could fill a thousand football fields. One of my favorite memories is when your daddy put you in one of those carriers where you were attached to him at the chest and he danced with you to a hip Professor Longhair song. (Be warned, I have it on video.) Another is the time that you laughed and squealed with glee as you watched your dog leaping in the air as she barked at the helium balloon that was tied to her collar. And nothing warmed my heart more than the smiles you gave me when I sang to you your favorite Winnie-The-Pooh songs.
As a toddler, you loved to laugh and play and have fun. You were sweet and polite - a pure delight.
When your little brother was born, you showed no signs of jealousy. You showered him with love, hugs, and kisses, and you tried to carry him around like your own special doll. And when the cameras were rolling, you hammed it up and taught your little brother to smile and say "cheese."
Forever trying hard at everything, from cartwheels to reciting the names of all of the Presidents, you have always impressed with your will and your way. In your fourteen years, you continue to amaze your parents and make us so proud.
I want nothing but the best for you in life. I want you to recognize the importance of setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Life is not always easy, but the challenges you face will mold you. It is how you respond to those challenges that will ultimately define you.
Happiness, success, and fulfillment in life will be yours. Be smart, make the right choices, and remember the importance of integrity, safety, compassion, and love. And most importantly, remember that no matter how many people come in and out of your life, I (and the rest of your family) will always be there for you, with never-ending, unconditional love and support. I love you more than words can say...
...Forever and Always,

Only full hookups available on North Rim, so location, location, location. Quiet, in Ponderosa pine forest, 1.25 miles to Jacob Lake Inn, large forested area to walk dogs. Very friendly staff. - Floatsflyer

Campground doesn't offer much other than proximity to the North Rim and some nice Ponderosa pines. Bumpy dirt road access. Pit showers and pay showers - no thank you. No WiFi and spotty at best Verizon. Sites VERY close. We arrived the day they opened for the season so most sites were empty still. Our site proved difficult to get into, super close to what we knew would be someone else's slide right at our front door (3' away), and it was very hard to find level, but the seasonal attendant guy wouldn't let us move to a more spacious site - took the attitude that he was clearly doing us a favor for the privilege of letting us stay here. We would not return. - Jolly Out There

Lots of shade, Ponderosa Pines. Tight spaces, more or less level. We stopped here on the way to the North Rim and left at sun-up. - Clyde Clevenger

Park is 25 miles south of Jacob's Lake and about 18 miles to the North Rim Lodge. Typical NFS campground. Host was very pleasant and helpful. A few of the sites are big enough for a large RV. We stayed in site 13 and I could of easily parked a 40 ft rig on that site. Some of sites are not very level and some sites are pretty small. We were there on the weekend and the campground was full by mid afternoon. Half the sites are can be reserved and the other half are first come first served. - DennisA

This is a US Forest Service campground that makes a nice alternative to the one campground inside the National Park at the North Rim. The campground is set in a lovely ponderosa pine and aspen forest and is about 5 miles from the park boundary. It's another 15-20 miles or so to the Visitor Center and Lodge located at the rim itself. The sites are very spacious and many are pull-throughs that can accommodate any size rig. There are no hook-ups, dump stations, showers or flush toilets, but the campground is pretty and peaceful. The vault toilets were spotless and practically odorless. The camp host was very friendly and conscientious about the upkeep of the campground. While it would have been nice to have stayed in the park, we weren't able to get reservations in time for our visit so DeMotte made a nice alternative. Our rate reflects the use of our Senior Access Pass. - BruceandKathyWA

We spent 5 nights here because we couldn't get in to the Grand Canyon North Rim Campground. We really enjoyed our stay in spite of the 40-mile (one-way) drive to the canyon. We spent at least half the days driving and hiking on National Forest land near the canyon rim but outside the park. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful and the sites were beautiful and spacious. The pit toilets were always clean and fresh smelling (good job!). - Desert Beacon
Jun 2016 - $10.00
There are no facilities; no power, no water, no sewer. For $10 you get a space to park next to 89A. You are right by national forest land where you can boondock for free, without putting up with noise and campfire smoke from neighbors.
The camp hosts are quite organized and good. The trees make satellite reception hard. - sfrantz

First stayed here last May in a tent. It was cold. This year I brought my travel trailer. Thank goodness because it was even colder. Whatever the weather May and September are the best months if you want to avoid the crowds at the Grand Canyon. Last year I came without reservations and had no problems. Tried it again this year and got the last first come/first served site. I love this park. So I now recommend making reservations. Vault or so called "sweet smelling toilets" were very clean. Pit toilets are rarely found except in very primitive areas any more. Thank goodness. Showers are available at the RV park across the road. There is no dump in the area and this is a pain. We dumped at Kanab, Utah. - NT2013

This was a stop over trip from Arizona to Idaho, and the park is clean. I've paid a lot less/night for much better amenities for families. Prior to checking in, we were sent an email of all the "rules" separate from the reservation confirmation. Then when we arrived, the first thing that is said to us is "the strict rules." Kids can't run, ride bikes, be loud and there is no entertainment for children. Although the sign at the entrance says: "Slow, kids at play." Office stated that they cater to seniors. Anyway, they had a small pool, and children were allowed to go in it, but hours of pool are 1pm-7pm. It was very refreshing, after a long drive, though. That's a plus. Campground is all gravel, and the pups don't like it. No grass area, but I walked out of the campground to the adjacent public property with a grass area by sidewalk, and cleaned up afterwards. The campground is also near the main highway, but when we are in the trailer, we can't hear the noise. - Mommarazzi

We have stayed here many times passing thru for day trip to Zion. Wim & Thea are wonderful and really work very hard to keep the place up. Would highly recommend it. - AZSwede
Jun 2016 - $35.00
Good price for what is offered. Most sites are back-in only, so we had to disconnect. There is a small pool. It is older, but it was very clean. It does close early (7:30 pm), so you have to watch your time if you want to use it. The biggest problem is that the whole place is mostly dirt/gravel. When we went, in the middle of summer, it was extremely dusty! During rainy season, I imagine it might get muddy. Overall, it was a decent place to spend one night. - ADMD

This is a barely adequate park for a stay in a beautiful area of Utah. The park is poorly maintained. The roads are rough, the hookups are antiquated. For example the sewer openings are covered with stones; the 30 amp hookups consisted of two legs hod hot wires from a 50 amp hookup. One leg for each side-to-side head-to-tail parked camper. If you turned of electric on one camper, you turned off electric to both campers. On the plus side, the Wi-Fi service was superb - fast and easy, totally accessible. We would probably stay here again, as good RV Parks are difficult to come by in the Kanab area. With a little effort this park could upgrade itself to being more than barely adequate. - hoppytoad
May 2016 - $27.00
Even though we reserved our week here, they put us in a "Pull-in" site that required 32 feet of sewer hose and 25 feet of power cable.
The place worked for what we needed, but the inconvenience wasn't necessary. Oh, with all the scenery here, our view was the business next door. WiFi was good as was 30AMP. - magic

The campground needs a little love. Shabby is a good description. Two of us in separate RVs were here. My friend couldn't get her rig in the reserved spot because of a tree, so she was moved to another that was so unlevel that the rear axle of her rig was off the ground.
When I arrived, the put me near her, not next to her as requested. Wifi was good.
Permanent residents were a bit sketchy.
The sour note for us was after we had been there four nights, we wanted to extend our stay so we could enjoy the area longer. I asked if we could add three more nights and get the weekly rate and was told no.
I understand it was perfectly in their right to not offer a deal, but in the interest of customer service, it would have been nice. The park only had half a dozen sites occupied, and I'm sure they'd rather have sites used at a reduced rate rather than leave them empty.
We left for another park up the road when our four nights were up. - Doggie Mom

As other reviewers noted, it's wilderness camping with full hook-up. The scenery is of breathtaking beauty. This being an RV park with only two sites, it's difficult to find a more private RV park than here. If you happen to have quiet neighbors on the other site, the peace and serenity is hard to beat.
The RV park is inside and part of Angel Canyon, the home of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. So many things the RV park itself lacks (like a shop, restrooms, WiFi access, cabins, cottages and more) are available in other parts of the sanctuary's wide spread facilities. However, it is about 1 mile from the park to the sanctuary's visitor center. So since this is an RV park review, the following comments only refer to the RV park itself.
The correct coordinates for the entrance of the park are Lat. 37.11387 and Long. -112.54805.
Info for big rigs: the length of site #1's concrete pad is 29.5 ft. between the front end and where the rear tires hit the stopper (27.5 ft. for site #2). There is 19 ft. space from the stopper to the fence, so even a sizeable overhang should fit in (12 ft. for site #2).
Communication: WiFi signal from the close-by cabins is too weak. We tried with an outdoor WiFi booster, but to no avail. So you need to get along with cellular service. On our travels, we use T-Mobile for voice and a Verizon Jetpack for Internet. Verizon gave us 3G service inside the coach and we roamed with our phones over AT&T with about two bars. However, for a solid phone call we needed to get out of the coach. Only after we installed our cell phone booster (with a trucker antenna), we got a faint signal from T-Mobile (too weak to be meaningfull, though), but 4-5 bars on AT&T and solid 4G/LTE data over Verizon.
The park is close to Kanab (10-15 minutes). We spent a whole week here and enjoyed it thoroughly. - Srdpty

We have stayed here the last two years while we volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. We love the peaceful star studded nights and beautiful canyon views during the day. You have full hook-ups, 50 amp, water, sewer and a cement pad with a small patio and picnic table next to your space. There are some Juniper trees, bushes and cacti in-between the sites but the pads are staggered so it gives you a little more privacy. Both sites are back in but easy to maneuver. Close to the highway but no street noise and nothing but peace and quiet after the sun goes down. Pet friendly but there are burrs and stickers so fur baby feet beware. Some deer pass through the sites and turkeys are nearby. We reserve site 2 as the pad is a little longer so our 45' fits with the jacks on cement. A 15 minute ride to the town of Kanab with grocery shopping, restaurants, hardware store and post office among other things. An hour away from Zion and a bit longer to Bryce, both worth visiting. Great Verizon reception, WiFi and TV through our satellite. These sites stay full so book early. We book a year in advance. - PERRELLAS

We stayed for 4 nights. As the previous reviews mentioned, the location is spectacular and the site was level, with concrete pad and shade. The only problem was that the sites are pretty close side by side and there is no curfew on checking in. So, when the occupant of the second site arrived at 12:15 AM (yes - that's 15 minutes after midnight) and took 15 minutes to back their trailer into the spot and another hour to settle in we were kept awake until about 2AM. If you are alone in the site or have more considerate neighbors, then it would be great. That's my only reason for the lower rating. - gtogrl1

Small (9 site) BLM campground; great dry camping for only $5 per night! No water or dump station on site, just outhouses. No cell reception; most sites could get a satellite signal, as there aren't too many trees. Important note: due to a sharp turn in the road and small sites, a sign at the entrance reads: max. trailer size 24 feet. I brought in a 26-foot trailer without any problems, but I wouldn't recommend anything over 28 feet. This makes a great base for exploring Zion National Park, and is much quieter and cheaper than staying in Sand Dunes State Park. - Neil C.

Stayed here for a couple days. Could not find a level site. When I tried to hook up my hose to the water faucet, the faucet itself leaked so bad I couldn't use it. One of the groundkeepers told me I could move or stretch my hose to another site. They have multiple sites and I was only the second camper here. The other was a volunteer for the National Monument. There is a nice, newish looking building that houses restrooms, showers and laundry as well as a community room - but I was told it was not open yet. The park itself is a large unshaded area. At least it wasn't $30 or more, which is typical of this area. - sloopygirl

Very basic campground which is not well maintained but OK for a night. Very convenient if visiting Pipe Spring National Monument (highly recommend) which is 1/4 mile away. All hook-ups worked but were not in very good condition. Restrooms were clean. No cell phone or TV but good internet (get code from camp host). Very quiet with great views of the Kanab and Kaibab Plateaus. Direction: From Rt. 389 east of Colorado City, AZ, turn north at Conoco (good gas price, no tax) to Pipe Spring NM, continue 1/4 mile to campground on right. - mvano

Monday, April 29 – Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Utah This park is in the southwest section of Utah to the east of Zion and near Kanab. If you come out of route 9 heading east from Zion, you head south on 89 for about 4 miles than pick up route 43 for another 12 miles south. There are plenty of signs posted along the roads and the drive into the park is very nice. The park has juniper and pinion pines and steep red cliffs. Once you drive in and stop at the visitor center the ranger or hostess that checked us in was very nice and informative. The campground is just down the road and there are twenty two sites in one loop. No hookups, but water can be found at the dump station and bath house. The bath house is one of the best that we have seen in two months of traveling-very clean and updated. They do take reservations. If you don't reserve you may have to check in every day to see if your site is still available. Our site was a nice pull through, level and shaded. What this park is known for is 1200 acres of pink sand dunes – beautiful. We even took the OHV tour offered in the parking lot through the sand dunes $$ with one other couple and a nice guide. It was a great time. I am glad we were there on a Monday, because on most weekends this park fills up with campers and day visitors, most with their own OHV's and we heard the noise can be loud. Quiet hours start at 10 at night until 9 in the morning. When we left Zion, it was in the mid 90's and I thought it would be unbearable here without hookups, but it wasn't. It was cooler than Zion with a nice breeze blowing through all day. This was a one night stopover for us and we were so glad that we decided to camp here. - gsnakehill

The ride from Kenab to this park is one of the most beautiful I've driven. The park is a gem. The colors in the area are amazing. Sunset is the high-point of the experience. Trails over the dunes are good and there is an ATV trail network available. There is absolutely no communication available, but there is a pay phone at the Visitors Center. Staff was friendly. Restrooms/showers are new and great. The road into the area is narrow, but really worth the drive. - Red Wolf Deux

Only two of the showers were functional which caused some wait times to get cleaned up. These are located at the dunes and so it would be difficult to keep sand out of the showers (bring shower sandals). Sites are large and provide much privacy compared to the cramped sites of the cookie cutter resorts. Note: there is one site near the bathroom with hookups. Much ORV traffic, but quiet hours were respected. - summersj0

Hard to talk about service or cleanliness when all you do is check in and there is nothing to clean. That being said, it's a good deal. I thought the road noise would be worse, but vehicles are just rolling when they go by and in late May, there wasn't much traffic, especially at nite. Plenty of room to back in anything, levelish, and across the street to bathrooms at the hotel or c-stores. I didn't check all, but my space and a few others were only 50 amp. Fortunately, the grocery store in the next town north had an extensive (and surprising ) hardware store in the back with an RV section with a well priced adapter. Also good food at the German restaurant. Ate at both restaurants by the park, couldn't finish either meal. We were there four nights exploring Zion and felt it was a very good deal. Would stay again. - Dave n Rene

The prior reviews are accurate. Additionally:
- bathrooms are across the street (U.S. 89), no showers
- sites need to be picked up (butts and bottle caps)
- Wi-Fi poor, Verizon 1x, AT&T excellent
- access to a golf course behind the hotel and restaurant
Sites are generally flat back-ins to a creek with trees. Easy stop after a long drive and good for accessing East Zion. - Jay d
Sep 2014 - $20.00
Easy sites to back into. Ours (#10) was quite level. The traffic noise was tolerable, speed was about 35 MPH so even the semis were moderate, better than a few others parks we used. Sitting, next to stream made everything OK. Great staff at motel. Area seemed under good management but only saw a few garbage collectors so really couldn't guarantee security protocols. Excellent pool, hot tub, and laundry (3 machines @ $1.75). Wi-Fi was 3-4 bars, AT&T cell was adequate. - User3698

I'd like to repurpose d3.svg.axis for a use that would require the tick marks to be large and draggable:
For example, in the above screenshot of the axis whose code is here, I'd like the mouse to change to the four-cornered shape when you hover over either the 25 or 69, and then be able to drag the tick marks left and right by hold-clicking the mouse.
I can see the
<svg> code auto-generated by d3 produces a separate
<line> element for each tick whose class is "tick":
So I assume there is a way to target those elements and make them respond to dragging, but I'm unclear how to do it. And of course, the line element should not be draggable anywhere, but should only slide left and right along the horizontal axis, and cannot be moved beyond the beginning and ending ticks.

|Overall Objectives:
The Phase III trial conducted in India in 2008-2010 demonstrated the efficacy of combination therapies based on AmBisome®, miltefosine, and paromomycin, and an additional study by Sundar et al. showed the efficacy of single-dose AmBisome® given as an intravenous infusion. To facilitate the introduction of these new treatments for VL in South Asia, DNDi is carrying out safety and effectiveness studies, including a pilot project in the Bihar State of India implementing combination therapies at the primary healthcare level, and single-dose AmBisome® at the hospital level. The project conducted between 2012 – 2015 is monitoring pharmacovigilance as well as treatment effectiveness of the different treatment options when used outside a clinical trial within the public sector.
Based on the study results, the Indian National Roadmap for Kala-Azar Elimination in August 2014 recommended use of single dose Ambisome® as a first option treatment for the treatment of VL patients, with paromomycin and miltefosine as a second option at all levels; a policy also reflected in Bangladesh and Nepal. This removal of miltefosine monotherapy is an important policy change. The implementation study stopped recruiting patients in Oct 2014 and DNDi continued following up patients for 12 months at the request of the national program; follow up was completed in Sep 2015.
In Bangladesh, a two-step Phase III study conducted from 2010 to 2014 in 602 patients (first in hospital settings, then in primary healthcare centres) used the same combination therapies as those tested in India. Six-month follow-up was completed in March 2014 and sites were closed in June. Results, presented in Dhaka in October 2014 in presence of health ministry officials, showed that all tested treatments demonstrated excellent cure rates and were well tolerated by patients, in support of policy change in the country.

LOS ANGELES—Almost three months into the construction of the $1-billion Wilshire Grand development, the project is on track, according to the lead architects and contractors who gathered at Elevate Lounge, overlooking the construction site, for An Insider's Look at Wilshire Grand, hosted by NAIOP SoCal. Carey McLeod, AC Martin principal-in-charge; Brendan Murphy, VP and operations manager at Turner Construction; and Jon Starr, senior project architect for the Wilshire Grand, spoke about the details of the building and some of the challenges.
As many already know, the massive development will become the tallest building west of the Mississippi once complete. It will have hotel, office and retail space, and is centrally located to all the downtown freeways and several public transit lines. When construction began in early February, developers broke the world record for the longest continuous concrete pour when 21,000 cubic yards was poured into create the foundation. "Our claim to fame is that Dodger's Stadium wanted to pour a sidewalk that day, and there was no concrete left in the city. We used every last drop," said Murphy at the event.
AC Martin designed the building from the inside out, creating the buildng's signature curve. To develop the unique curvature, architects used a 3D printer to play with styles based on a watercolor painting created by AC Martin Design Principal David Martin. Because the building has a glass façade, architects were challenged to find a way to lay the glass over the building. According to Starr, bending glass can create stresses and streaks that make it unattractive, especially as light from the sun hits and reflects off the building. To avoid this problem, architects laid smaller pieces of glass out in a very specific pattern to ensure that they will need to bend only a few pieces for the building's exterior.
The building has a concrete core wall that is 1,000 feet tall and only 30 feet wide; however, it is incredibly stable. The building is located near 29 fault lines with the closest only 1,000 feet from the building. That fault line is capable of producing a 6.2 magnitude earthquake, so the building was designed to withstand an earthquake up to 6.2. Overall, the building was designed with efficiency and artistry in mind.
In terms of economic benefits, the development will pump $1 billion into the local economy, and at its peak, the development will employ 900 trade persons. Developers believe this project will also jumpstart development of other high-rise structures downtown, further recreating the skyline. They also believe the development, which will provide much-needed hotel space in the downtown market, will fuel the expansion of the L.A. Convention Center.

There's a kind of hush all over the automotive world, at least one that would be felt by all OEMs in the small saloon, large hatchback space. Well let's not be bashful for once and say it up front: everyone from leader Maruti-Suzuki to Hyundai to Fiat to Tata Motors to GM and Ford have some serious competition to contend with in the form of the shockingly stylish and amazingly brilliant package Honda has conjured up, exclusively for India.
I am referring to the all-new Honda Amaze, the new sub-four metre saloon which is to be made only in Thailand and India but with our market being the first one to exclusively feature one of the newest diesel engines by any car maker in the globe. To associate Honda with diesel was near anathema for this proud Japanese marque which prided itself on its power-packed yet frugal petrol engines.
However the harsh economic environment coupled with an abject lack of offerings in a market so skewed towards diesel propulsion meant that whatever it might have had against the compression ignition engine has been jettisoned and in place has come that same vibrant, out-of-the-box thought process which harks back to founder Soichiro Honda's avant garde innovative spirit. To say that old Soichiro would have been happy with the new i-DTEC range of small capacity diesel engines would be absolutely spot on! Related: Honda Brio-based entry-level sedan christened Amaze
However, before we move on to the all-new engine space Honda has waded into, we must focus on the new saloon, a car which is an Amaze-ing piece of automobile hatched out of the Brio baby. It is not about the 3990mm length of the car or its 2405mm wheelbase (50mm more than that of the Brio hatch) but the manner in which the fluidity of the exterior shape has been crafted.
It is not a stunted design like the Indigo CS (the car that created this segment) nor is it tacky like the Swift D'zire from Suzuki. It is one flowingly elegant design which makes style standout in a most elegant manner. To try and do this in a regular sedan is easy but to compress the whole in an even smaller package is truly virtue personified and the team under Junichi Teraoka, project leader on the Amaze has delivered mightily on this count.
Everything from up front till the Bi-pillar is familiar territory but going pact that to the C-pillar and beyond to the tail end, the treatment is completely different and goes on to trumps all rivals. The slightly wedgy profile which emerges is one of the most appealing shapes out there but one which is so very Honda. And from here if you step into the cabin, especially the rear end that is, you suddenly come up on to a whole new expansive vista.
The 50mm extension in the wheelbase has not only liberated acres of leg room for the back bencher sahebs but the boot is just as cavernous. In fact many of us who drove three laps on a section of the Twin Ring Motegi circuit were of the opinion that the rear seat space is close to that of the class leading Honda City! The door opening angles have changed on the rear doors to allow better access and egress while the H-points have been better optimized making for a fantastic seating posture for those occupying the back seats. Further, at least for yours truly, the manner in which the rear seat backs have the headrests so very ergonomically positioned enhancing the comfort and convenience in a huge manner.
The Amaze (termed the Brio Amaze in Thailand) we drove was one of just two fully built prototypes in the world and the only one in Japan with a diesel engine. (The Brio Amaze, with a petrol engine for Thailand was in that country where it is due for a reveal cum launch later this month). With at least another five to six months to go before launch in India, the interior trim had not yet been frozen but barring that aspect there doesn't seem much wrong or out of place within the cabin which is so cool and so very Honda.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Utilizing microfluidic devices for cell analysis is a new strategy holding great promise for many applications ranging from drug discovery to toxicity testing, according to Philip J. Lee, director R&D at CellASIC. "Microfluidics can be used to engineer microenvironments at the cellular size scale with miniaturization and automation for mimicking the physiological environment of cells and tissues. This capability allows exposing cells to changing flow environments to obtain a signal-response not previously possible."
The concept is based on using disposable, application-specific microfluidic plates and a universal flow control interface. The microfluidic plates hold sample solutions, media, and cells formatted with a microtiter plate footprint. A key feature is a perfusion barrier to control nutrient transport and cell localization. A glass coverslide bottom and transparent optical path allow for use in an inverted microscope or standard plate reader.
"We are using this system to study liver toxicity as a predictive model of drug effects," says Dr. Lee. "The current limitation with using cultured cells in toxicity studies is getting them to behave similarly to cells in vivo. We are, however, overcoming these hurdles using microfluidic cell cultures that allow maintenance of primary liver cells for use in high-throughput automated analysis."
The novelty of the automation-compatible system is that it "provides a design environment that mimics in vivo processes such as higher cell densities, cellular transport, and continuous perfusion. We built this system to fit average users in a typical biological workplace. Also, it is compatible with existing equipment and assays. Overall, this system allows a higher quality data at reduced costs."
Because hepatocytes are the best understood tissue model, the company's initial applications for the microfluidic cell culture system will use these cells for both dose-response toxicity testing and for drug-metabolism studies.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Learning Capitalist Culture: Deep in the Heart of Tejasby Douglas E. Foley
Pub. Date: 08/01/1990
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press, Inc.
This book
Learning Capitalist Culture presents an ethnographic study of a small, economically-depressed, predominantly Mexican American south Texas town. Like many communities in the Southwest, North Town has undergone cultural and political change since the late sixties, when the Chicano civil rights movement emerged and challenged the segregated racial order.
This book examines the way in which the youth of North Town learn traditional American values through participation in sports, membership in formal and informal social groups, dating, and interactions with teachers in the classroom. Using information gathered over fourteen years of field work, Douglas E. Foley shows how the rituals involved in these activities tend to preserve or reproduce class and gender inequalities, even as Mexicanos transform the racial order.
"Foley examines all aspects of the social life of his subjects--athletics, dating patterns, classroom behavior--and focuses especially on divisions within this group--ethnic (Mexican American and Anglo American), class, and high school social clique (jocks, band students, and others). Descriptions of the interactions among these factions, and their different (but occasionally surprisingly similar) values and patterns of behavior are fascinating. . . . This is a fascinating study of the clash between Anglo and Hispanic cultures in South Texas as seen through the eyes of its youth."
"Learning Capitalist Culture poses excellent questions and offers provocative theoretical possibilities."
--American Journal of Sociology
Douglas E. Foley is Associate Professor of Anthropology and of Education at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of From Peones to Politicos: Class and Ethnicity in a South Texas Town, 1900-1987, and The Heartland Chronicles, which is also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Awards for World Music 2003 profile
nominated by:
Nick Passmore, Llandrindod Wells:
'I saw them in Presteigne and thought they were bloody good, topping an excellent bill on Sunday evening of the Sheep Music Festival. I bought their CD, and have played it loads since then. I was delighted to see that they've been nominated for this award, and am even more delighted to be able to vote for them!'
Jacky Klein, London:
'Brilliant fusion of sounds - fresh and talented!'
James Micklethwait, London:
'Seen them play in London: amazing talent and real performers. A fusion of music that is fascinating to hear has wide appeal - whatever your music taste. Surely set to go all the way - this award the obvious place to recognise them!'
Serena Donne, London:
'Because they are young and vibrant and are able to play music which appeals to all generations!'
Rhian Boardman, Southport:
'I find their music very calming.'
Harry Briggs, London:
'The music's weird and wonderful- they call it an eclectic fusion of klezma and contemporary dance- I call it a good groovy bass with some awesome surprising sounds that get every bone in your body moving... And they exude stage confidence and sex appeal- so watchable, so cool, if they don't go far it's a tragedy.'
Catherine Colloms, London:
'The best thing to happen to world music in years. A modern blend of traditional gypsy music, layered with haunting israeli melodies, and a funky stage presence to boot.'
Elliott Simon, USA:
'The hottest crossover act in world music, klez influenced trance like rhythms that make you dance; electro violin singing through the cosmos......need i say more?'
Jessica Brummer, London:
'The most inspirational, underground sounds of Jewish music for the 20th century. Their presence on stage send sparks flying and they give an exciting new dimension to London contemporary cultural music.'
Elliott Simon, USA:
'The hottest crossover act in world music, klez influenced trance like rhythms that make you dance; electro violin singing through the cosmos......need i say more?'
Adenike Forbes, London:
'Wonderful fusion of urban beats, drum and bass folk and constructive messages about culture and tolerance - much needed in these times. Absolutley fabulous live, I saw them at the Respect festival in 2002 and they blew us away. We have been following them ever since. Energy and enthusiasm; masterful, accomplished musicians.'
Max Edwards, London:
'I saw them last year at Spitz in London. They were fantastic. The audience ranged from 18-80 and every single one of them took to the dance floor. The music was mesmerizing (Klezmerizing!?). There were many different nationalities at the gig and I felt the music conjured an ecstatic sense of unity transcending not only community boundaries but, just as rare perhaps, generation gaps too. The musicians were incredibly accomplished and the energy and vibrancy with which they played induced what can only be described as a euphoric dancing frenzy. Absolutely joyous stuff. Raw, vigorous and intelligent. It broadened my horizons to a completely new form of music. I have followed Klezmer ever since.'
Benjamin Ross, London:
'I saw them live at Limmud in Nottingham, and they were incredible; vibrant atmosphere with everyone dancing. In contrast to the klezmer scene in New York, Oi-Va-Voi combine klezmer with a uniquely London sound of breakbeats and rhythms as well as dub bass lines and a party atmosphere.'
Richard Margrett, Ilford:
'Oi Va Voi is a great blend of Jewish Eastern European Roots with modern jazz funk. This is what music should be - meaningful, funky, and coming straight from the soul.'
Mark Weeks, London:
'Innovative, lively, sexy and fun. When was the last time a band sent a tingle down your spine??'
Aimee Balaban, London:
'Funky, energetic, chilled out and a meeting of worlds:Eastern and Western and at the same time manages to bridge traditionalism and progressiveness!'
Louise Scodie, Edgware:
'Most people think Jewish music is all Barbra Streisand and old men wailing about religion. These guys show that Jewish music can be cool and enjoyed by everyone.'
Edward Chamberlin, Manchester:
'It is rare to come across a band who can adapt old musical ideas into a modern format, while staying true to the original spirit of the music. oi va voi do this admirably.'
Simon Kay, London:
'They are brilliant! The combination of Klezmer and Drum and Bass sounds like a recipe for disaster but manifests itself as a very easily consumed Casserole of Rich, vibrant thoughtful music. When seing them perform live it is obvious that their music is their passion.'
Paul Vincent, Walsall:
'The intoxicating sounds of Klezmer, absorbing the beats of modern dance music to become something even wilder. A perfect example of how traditional musics can move forward and remain relevant.'

Detroit Paints the Town Army Red!
Thursday, December 29, 2011
On December 22, businesses and community members of the Metro Detroit area rallied together in support of The Salvation Army. Acknowledging 125 years of service in the area, businesses in the downtown area honored The Salvation Army's last day of the Red Kettle Campaign by "going red" – Salvation Army red that is!
