I recently enjoyed a "Mother/Daughter" trip to the Ritz in Sarasota and had an absolutely wonderful time! We were lucky enough to take advantage of a deal they were offering and got to stay on the Club Level which was an experience enough in itself! If at all feasible, do yourself a favor and book a club room - you will not be disappointed!
Hotel/Grounds: This Ritz location actually consists of 2 distinct properties - the actual hotel and the Beach Club. We elected to not rent a car and just took a taxi from the airport which was about a 10-15 minute ride. The hotel itself is located on the Bay and is your typical Ritz property with a grand lobby, floral displays, and a refined décor. It's smaller than some of the other resort properties but certainly not lacking in any amenities. There is a pool at the hotel (with poolside service) but I will say that the one at the Beach Club is nicer. I did also notice a ping pong table and small arcade area for kids on the ground floor. There are also several evening activities held during the week, mainly the live music in the Ca d' Zan lounge which was quite the experience! They were getting ready to start a renovation of this space shortly after we left so I'm not sure if they are still offering this, but make sure to check it out if they do!
The Beach Club is only a few miles away and there is a complimentary shuttle that runs hourly. We had no problems with the shuttle service - it was always on time and the drivers were extremely friendly and helpful. The shuttle also makes a stop at St. Armands Circle (about halfway between the hotel and the beach) which really made a car unnecessary for us. The Beach Club is a gorgeous property complete with a restaurant, pool bar, and well appointed locker rooms. There is a large pool with ample seating along with direct beach access. This pool tends to get a bit more crowded than the one at the hotel, but the overall atmosphere is definitely more relaxing.
Room: As I mentioned, our room was on the Club Level with a decent view of the harbor - I don't know if there are any truly good views at this hotel due to the location. The room itself was fairly large with ample space for all of our luggage. Everything appeared well maintained and very clean and we had absolutely no complaints!
Service: The staff was wonderful and extremely professional (as expected). We were always warmly greeted by the staff members in the lobby and the Club Level staff was always checking in to make sure there was nothing we needed and that there were not any issues. The shuttle drivers were outstanding and really made the effort to learn the faces and names of everyone on board.
Food: Since we were staying on the Club level and are fairly light eaters, we ate most of our meals in the Club Lounge which offers 5 meal presentations daily:
Breakfast - Breakfast was a fairly standard spread of assorted cereals, breads, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, and deli meats as well as a few hot options including oatmeal, breakfast potatoes, and a rotating specialty item. Champagne was also available most mornings to make your own mimosa.
Lunch - This was probably the "heaviest" offering of the day and included assorted sandwiches, salad, cheeses, chips, and crudités. Everything was very fresh and refilled often and we were more than pleased
Afternoon Snack - This was the lightest presentation of the day consisting of assorted nuts and cheeses along with the same chips that were available at lunch.
Dinner Appetizers - There was a decent variety of appetizers offered while we were there. There was always a small salad, some type of seafood "shooter", assorted breads and cheeses, a hot option (chicken skewers, bite-sized quiches) and a few other items. Everything was always pretty good, but I did wish they would offer a healthier or lighter option such as crudités or marinated vegetables
Dessert/Cocktails - Small desserts and liquors were offered in the evenings and certainly offered enough variety to please any sweet tooth!
In addition to the food presentations various soft drinks, water, coffee/tea, and wine (beginning around lunch) were available throughout the day along with assorted cookies and jars of candy. We really enjoyed the lounge, especially the wonderful staff members there. Elena in particular provided exceptional service and we looked forward to seeing her every afternoon! She really treated us as if we were family, not just another hotel guest.
Gym: The fitness room was well appointed with a variety of cardio machines and free weights. It did feel slightly cramped though and many of the cardio machines were marked as being reserved for residents (probably a bonus for them). Overall it met our needs but wasn't designed as nicely as other Ritz properties.
We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely consider this hotel again for our trip next year!

Pope Francis Streamlines the Annulment Process
[Divorce FrankenPope style]
By Philip C.L. Gray
New Oxford Review
March 2016
Philip C.L. Gray, J.C.L., is President of the Saint Joseph Foundation , a nonprofit organization that assists the faithful in protecting their rights under canon law. This article originally appeared in somewhat different form in the foundation's newsletter Christifidelis.
On September 8, 2015, Pope Francis significantly changed the way the Church handles cases of marriage nullity, commonly known as annulments. His motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus effected these changes in the Western (Latin) Church; Mitis et Misericors Iesus did the same for the Eastern Catholic Churches. It is important to note that the revisions only affect ecclesiastical laws having to do with procedures for hearing annulment cases. Acting as the chief legislator of the universal Church, the Pope used his power to alter ecclesiastical discipline. To be clear: He did not proscribe doctrine. He did not redefine marriage. He did not define a matter of faith or morals.
These changes in law take place during a time of rampant moral relativism that has imbedded itself firmly within modern thought and practice — including the thoughts and practices of clerics, religious, and laymen who catechize and influence millions of people. Oftentimes, this moral relativism is expressed in the Church by way of a negligence that encourages a coexistence with evil rather than affirmative action to denounce it. For example, what have bishops and priests done to decrease the number of divorces and encourage fidelity in marriage? Where was the outrage from American bishops over the Supreme Court's recognition of same-sex marriage? What is the most affluent bishops' conference in the world doing to address an evil that caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and was cited as a cause for the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the Jews (cf. Isa. 3:9; Jer. 23:14; et al.)?
The Historical Context
In the mid-eighteenth century, Benedict XIV was pope. The Protestant Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire had occurred almost two centuries earlier. Catholicism was settling into a coexistence with Protestantism in Europe, and the Church's influence in secular society was declining. Catholics were adopting Protestant views and values. Catholics married, divorced, obtained annulments, and remarried multiple times over short periods. The Pope was appalled. He lamented that many would go through three marriages, and some even six marriages, in a lifetime. The annulment process was easy. If couples agreed on the facts of their situation, they could obtain an annulment without the need for cumbersome bureaucratic processes. As the family goes, so goes society, and family life in the Catholic Church was on the verge of collapse during these years.
Benedict XIV acted decisively. In his bull Dei Miseratione (1741) he instituted new procedures and elements to the annulment process, including the appointment by the local bishop of a defensor matrimonii (defender of matrimony), whose job it was to defend the marriage bond itself in order to protect the institutions of marriage and the family.
Over time, these new elements had an instructive effect. By the twentieth century, it would be rare in Europe or in the Americas for anyone, including non-Catholics, to believe that the Catholic Church allowed divorce and remarriage. Yes, Catholics still had affairs and violated their marriage vows, but the Church's clear position became an occasion for many couples to reconcile. In fact, both the 1917 and 1983 editions of the Code of Canon Law, in reflection and application of divine law, obligate pastors and couples to pursue reconciliation before an annulment — even if a separation or divorce has already occurred, and even if the marriage was invalid (cf. can. 529§1, 1676, et al.).
In 1972 the Holy See allowed what were called American Procedural Norms (APN) to be used experimentally in the U.S. The APN provided much the same procedures that Pope Francis's revisions now provide: In most circumstances, only one judge need hear a case, there was no mandatory recourse to a second-instance review, and very short timeframes were established for the entire process so that cases could be completed within eight months. Many canonists and priests hoped that the APN would be introduced into the 1983 Code of Canon Law. But after more than ten years of the experiment, Pope St. John Paul II rejected them. The APN were considered a failure due to significant, negative effects on Catholic marriages and family life in the U.S.
What's All the Fuss?
If you woke up and found a fire raging in your home, what would you take with you out of the house? Would you go for irreplaceable items that have significant meaning, or would you grab the latest newspaper? When the fire department comes, the firemen don't throw fuel onto the blaze to give themselves more to do. They just do their job. It's a simple fact: We protect what is important to us. Unfortunately, Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus removes necessary protections provided by canon law. The world is burning the institution of marriage with the fires of hedonism (fornication, divorce, abortion, same-sex unions, etc.), and the Pope gives us an easier way to claim freedom from our spouses. Here's how:
No automatic review: Reflecting a fundamental principle of the ancient system of (civil) Roman law, all affirmative decisions issued by a Church tribunal must be reviewed by a higher court and either ratified by that court or submitted to an ordinary examination at trial. This mandatory second-instance review is a check and balance intended to discourage subjectivity, collusion, and laxity in the exercise of justice in the Church's judiciary. Many characterize this as an "automatic appeal." It is not an appeal but an obligatory review intrinsic to this system of justice. Pope Francis has abolished this mandatory second-instance review for marriage-nullity cases.
Fewer judges: Canonical trials require a tribunal of at least three judges to issue a decision. This requirement also provides a check and balance in favor of objectivity and justice. The current Code of Canon Law allows conferences of bishops to allow a single clerical judge (deacon or priest) to issue a decision in marriage-nullity cases during the first-instance trial, though bishops are not obligated to allow only one judge. Second-instance reviews must retain three or more judges. Francis has regularized the use of a sole judge. With the abolition of a mandatory second-instance review, marriage cases will now be decided habitually by a single cleric.
Rejection of an appeal: Currently, a second-instance tribunal must follow a very specific process to determine whether an appeal made against a lower court will be heard. The initial decision to hear the appeal or ratify the lower court is given by a decree that explains the motivation of the three judges involved. The Pope has added the possibility of a second-instance tribunal to dispense from such a process and issue a rejection of the appeal in limine (literally, "at the gate"). This simply means that the head of a second-instance tribunal, or one properly empowered by law or delegation, could reject an appeal summarily and simply issue a letter to that effect.
Pope Francis's intention is to limit the number of cases heard on appeal. As expressly stated in his motu proprio, a second-instance tribunal could reject an appeal in limine if it believes the appellant is abusing the right to appeal with an evident lack of supporting documentation. Another reason is termed instrumental appeal, meaning the appeal is intended to harm the other party by dragging out the process.
The new process: The diocesan bishop is the first judge of his diocese — that is, regardless of his training or background, every diocesan bishop, by virtue of his consecration and office, supervises the administration of justice in his diocese and may choose to serve as a judge in any trial conducted by his diocesan tribunal. Francis has now obligated bishops to act as sole judges in all fast-tracked cases within their respective dioceses.
The new fast-track process is "to be applied in cases in which the alleged nullity of the marriage is supported by particularly clear arguments." Of note, supported by particularly clear arguments would apply in cases when both the man and woman in the marriage-nullity process agree to the fundamental facts associated with the claim of nullity. This is a departure from canon 1536§2, which does not allow a judge to arrive at moral certitude in favor of marriage nullity from the testimony of the parties alone.
A Canon Lawyer's Analysis
In my opinion, these changes to the annulment process will prove harmful to the virtue of justice and diminish necessary safeguards that protect the sanctity of marriage and the family. Here's why:
– Any legitimate and just system of law provides checks and balances against subjectivity, collusion, and any other element that might obstruct the execution of justice. For centuries, marriage-nullity trials have relied on the element of mandatory second-instance reviews, three-judge panels in the first instance, and the procedures used on appeal to safeguard objectivity and truth. Removing these elements without providing other checks and balances substantially alters the system of law and creates significant loopholes that allow unjust practices.
For example, I know of many cases in which a petitioner "bought" an annulment. In one case, I actually saw a letter identifying the reward to be given. In other cases, I know of judges who rendered decisions out of fear of reprisal by their bishop or the judicial vicar. More commonly, most tribunal judges I have encountered in the U.S. demand a lower threshold of proof to arrive at moral certitude than demanded by papal instructions and long-standing jurisprudence. In my experience, the facts surrounding the marriages in question often have little value. I have long used the now-removed elements to ensure objective hearings for my clients. The results have been staggering: More than ninety percent of the decisions issued against my clients were overturned on appeal. In some cases, corrective action was taken against tribunal personnel. Effective December 8, 2015, those safeguards no longer exist.
– My concerns about removing essential elements of a process apply also to the innovation of a fast-track process for particular cases of marriage nullity. This innovation is similar to certain elements of the APN and pre-1741 processes. It was the failure of those procedures to provide objectively for the protection of rights that led to their demise.
– The innovation of in limine rejection of appeals is disturbing. It is held as a matter of natural law that a person's right to appeal is inalienable. I recognize that this innovation in the process does not abolish the right to appeal. I also understand that the implementation of law must be reasonable, and that unreasonable appeals should be rejected. Nonetheless, given the aversion of many American tribunals to evaluate the facts of a marriage-nullity petition objectively and comprehensively, I am concerned about how this will be done and about the motivations used to reject appeals.
Currently, in limine rejections of appeals are an element of the administrative appeal process at the Apostolic Signatura. However, if the Supreme Tribunal rejects a case in limine, the appellant has the right to demand a full hearing from that Tribunal's Congresso. In other words, though the prefect or secretary might reject an appeal, the appellant can force a panel of prelates to review the case and issue a decision on the merits of the appeal. If such a safeguard is not provided in marriage-nullity appeals, this innovation — together with the loss of three judges and the loss of a mandatory second-instance review — allows for significant abuses.
In his motu proprio, Francis cites the example of "instrumental appeals" by non-Catholics who have already remarried civilly as a potential reason to reject an appeal in limine. This means a second-instance judge must determine the appellant's intentions for appealing and may dismiss the appeal without a hearing on the evidence. The potential for abuse is immense.
– It is important to note that most marriage-nullity cases in the U.S. are not currently contested — i.e., both parties seek the freedom to remarry and usually get what they want. The current process also allows for a rejection of an appeal, with minimal review by the higher court. Given the very high percentage of cases overturned on appeal and the ability of a higher court to reject an appeal in the current system, I wonder what value the in limine rejection would actually have in an objective process.
– It is also important to note that the Holy Father expressly intended to streamline the annulment process in order to provide for the salvation of souls. He wants people in irregular unions — the divorced and remarried — to have greater opportunity to reconcile with the Church and receive the sacraments again. Herein lies a significant problem.
Divine law intrinsically ties the salvation of souls to the truth (cf. Jn. 8:32). As noted by Pope St. John Paul II, adherence to and protection of the truth in annulment cases expresses true pastoral sensitivity. This sensitivity must be directed toward the truth, not toward granting the parties the freedom to remarry. This is true freedom: to recognize the truth of one's circumstances and choose to accept the grace of those circumstances. If that means one's marriage is null, the parties may remarry in the Church; but if evidence is lacking, they must gracefully accept the circumstance and either reconcile with each other or live a chaste life. Salvation of souls requires us to desire and pursue what is true, not to call true what we desire.
Where Do We Go From Here?
I am deeply concerned about how marriage and the family will be viewed and promoted in the wake of these changes. The disciplines of the Church are instructive, and I fear that these new disciplines will encourage a change in the perception of the Church's doctrines. What is the solution? "I beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). Be faithful to the truth. Be faithful in your marriages. Do not be confused. We must reclaim the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony for what it is — the "primordial sacrament," as Pope St. John Paul II put it. Matrimony is the only sacrament that existed before sin, and the only one that was not given as a result of sin.

What I Hate About The Look of the Front of an F30
1 Attachment(s)
So we've already had a few threads about the look of the F30 when viewed from squarely front-on. I am one of the folks who don't like the look at all...from any other angle than exactly front-on I like the car a lot.
I try not to look at it, usually parking face in, but tonight I was looking at the front and remembering this thread from a few days ago...and I though...what is it really that I don't like about it? The key items I think are:
+ it looks like a sumo wrestler sat on the front of the car and squashed the face.
+ the line of the hood opening across the front
+ the lights are too extremely near the edge of the car.
+ somewhat due to the sumo-squash, the lights could be a little bigger.
+ to a lesser degree, that the lights touch the kidney grills.
I was also remembering the BMW CS concept from a few years ago which also had a very squashed (but badass!) looking front to it and the kidneys.
So to prove my theories, I did a quick photoshop attempt at my version. I have an e90 in the garage next to my f30 so I could compare what I liked and stole a few design elements from the older car. I did not change anything but the above listed items, though I know modifying the skirt for example would have been an easy cheat. Also I tried to not change the hood line as little as possible, since I know there are European pedestrian laws that require the steep swoop down to the front of the hood.
Here is what I came up with. I'm no photo shop wizard obviously, but I am wondering if you guys like the new version better or worse. As always, it's a very subjective thing and I am sure a bunch of folks will like the real version better and that's fine by me! :)
Pretty cool!
dont like that
Looks more intimidating, like BMWs should!
Fun exercise.
The specificity of of your observations is interesting as most merely express whether they do or do not like the look.
First, your photoshop skills are very impressive. Well done :thumbup:
I'm with you on the hood line, but have no problem with the height of the lights. However, the light going all the way over to the kidney's has got to go. I mean c'mon BMW at least give it some shape and not just a big blob of nothing.
Overall the front to rear hood lines are a work of art and one of my favorite things about the car aesthetically. A lot of other auto manufacturers have tried to pull off the double "wave" and failed miserably. BMW's implementation is timeless IMBO.
I guess my answer to you would be:
"If we wanted an X1, we'd have bought an X1."
So like a F10 basically, lol? I think the F30 is supposed to draw a wider appeal (to males and females) so the car is toned down a bit (and more feminine). Your photo-shop, while awesome, is way to masculine for a 3 series.
I would prefer it if the lights were not touching the grills too.
Not a deal breaker for me, but just saying...
I guess I am the only one who thinks the car is actually perfect as it is. Quite honestly when I first saw it I thought they screwed up the design with the lights touching the grille but it grew on me and I accepted it completely when I first saw the car in real life. The design stands out, it's bold and yet very distinctive and classically addictive for bmw. I wouldn't change a thing.
I prefer as is. Gives the car a bit more of a wide and low feel.
I like your hood much better. I mentioned the other day I think they did the hood "cut line" the way they did in an attempt to minimize sheet metal damage should pedestrian damage occur. I like the size of the lights and the current grill set up just fine.
Agree completely.
It takes a week, but eventually you 'get' it and it makes sense.
What's not discussed yet should be is the protruding grill. Instead of a flat surface, it protrudes like a chrome-wrapped floating oval. The headlamp array might be a bit awkward, but the grill treatment is terrific.
The front end design has grown on me since I first saw it. I do like your Photoshop better, but it's a very slight improvement. My main gripe with the new car is the size. Just too big.
I find that the F30 M-Sport looks too much like the E90 LCI. The M-Sport's most prominent front feature is that "swoop jaw" that puts a flat surface under each headlamp and then that flat surface drops down below the bumper to the air scoop and back up.
The E90 front looks like a Pachinko machine. The F30 front looks like Angry Birds. I like the de-Bangled F30 better, like it's low-slung nose, like the fact that it looks clean and menacing as opposed to confusing and friendly.
Next time anyone looks at the image in BJ's signature, the straight hood line, the bloated hood looking from the side, and the sunken nose/mouth at the front bumper, are all there for a good reason, to be more pedestrian friendly. They were not there for aesthetic reason. You can't have the cake and eat it too, the look has to suffer a little for the good of humanity, it is the least a Bimmer driver can do. The fact BJ finds them amazingly good looking is irrelevant, because they were not there to look good, rather to protect the pedestrian.
Send your design to BMW and they should hire you on the spot. Great job and you fixed my main gripe with the F30 design. Now, please start working on changing the GPS screen that is just stuck there like it was an afterthought.
The F30 is a great-looking car, you can try to slam it all you want, isn't going to work. See, we all owned E90's. Jedi Mind Tricks don't work on us.
Love it or hate it the front end of cars (and not just BMWs) from here on in will be influenced by pedestrian safety rules. That is also the reason why the traditional "Leaper", which was somewhat of an anachronism anyway is no longer on Jaguars,
Although the look may appear a bit different at first it will become mainstream very rapidly and soon nobody will even notice.
So the photoshop was an lci v2.0? I have bsm with black grills and xenons. Looks pretty awesome to me. Cant really see the hood line although i dont mind that. Car looks a lot more meaner than the e90. And i still am amazed at the xenon headlights. Rather than change any shapes i wish it had full leds.
I'm fine with the look of the front. The only thing I would change is moving the opening of the hood back to where it was. Not a deal-breaker, though, as I never even noticed it until you pointed it out! :D
Wow. It's really clear to me I'm out of my league at bimmerfest. I couldn't see the differences until I read the text. DOH!

Friday, Sept. 20, 2013 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Location: College of the Atlantic - Gates Community Center, 105 Eden Street, Bar Harbor, ME
For more information: Lauren Rupp; 207-801-5671; coa.edu
Join College of the Atlantic and Friends of Acadia when they host the "Wild and Scenic Film Festival On Tour" at the Gates Community Center, September 20, 2013. Doors open at 6:30pm, with the show beginning at 7:00pm.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is a collection of films from the annual festival held the third week of January in Nevada City, CA which is now its 11th year! Wild & Scenic focuses on films which speak to the environmental concerns and celebrations of our planet.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in 2003. The festival's namesake is in celebration of SYRCL's landmark victory to receive "Wild & Scenic" status for 39 miles of the South Yuba River in 1999. The national tour travels to over 100 communities nationwide, allowing SYRCL to share their success as an environmental group with others organizations. It is building a network of grassroots organizations connected by a common goal of using film to inspire activism. With the support of their National Partners: Patagonia, CLIF Bar, Sierra Nevada Brewing and Mother Jones, the festival can reach an even larger audience in tour venues coast to coast.
To be featured at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor are approximately 12 award-winning films, including such films as: "Chasing Water" – A 2011 film by Peter McBride, which takes an intimate look at the Colorado River watershed, as he attempts to follow the irrigation water that sustains his family's ranch, down river to the sea. Following its path with an artistic, aerial view, this personal journey strives to bring understanding one of the most loved and litigated rivers in the world; "Dark Side of the Lens" – A 2010 film by Mikey Smith which documents one man's personal and heartfelt account of life as an ocean based photographer. This short film takes you on an eerie, stunning and moving journey amongst the epic oceanic grandeur of Ireland's west coast; "Second Nature: The Biomimicry Evolution" – Set in South Africa, this film follows Time magazine "Hero of the Environment" Janine Benyus as she illustrates how emulating nature's best ideas can teach us to be more sustainable engineers, chemists, architects, and business leaders.
The festival is a natural extension of College of the Atlantic's human ecological perspective, which integrates knowledge from all academic disciplines and from personal experience to investigate — and ultimately improve — the relationships between human beings and their social and natural communities. Given Friends of Acadia's work as an organization to inspire people to act on behalf of their local environment through philanthropy, volunteerism, innovative leadership and advocacy, they are an ideal partner for College of the Atlantic and for the festival theme. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to Friends of Acadia.
Ticket Prices:
$10 per person
$5 (children 18 and under)
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Friends of Acadia.
Tickets can be purchased at the door.

Sir Ken Robinson, the British expert on creativity and innovation who is the most-watched speaker in the TED Talk video series throughout the world, will speak at Montana State University at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8, in the Strand Union Ballrooms. "An Evening with Sir Ken Robinson - How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything" will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
Known for his challenge of traditional education, Robinson has built a global audience via his TED talks, which have been seen by an estimated 300 million people in more than 150 countries, making him the most-viewed TED presenter in the history of the organization. Throughout his work, Robinson pushes people to rethink outdated assumptions about intelligence, education and creativity, and to unleash the real potential of people and organizations.
A best-selling author, Robinson's books include New York Times best-sellers "Finding Your Element" and "The Element" and "Out of Our Minds." His latest book, "Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education," tackles the issue of how to transform the nation's troubled education system.
Named one of "the world's elite thinkers on creativity and innovation" by Fast Company magazine and featured in the 2011 Thinkers50 list of the world's top business thinkers, Robinson works with governments, education systems, international agencies, global corporations and some of the world's leading cultural institutions to jump-start innovation by unlocking the creative energy of people and organizations.
"(Robinson's message) is especially powerful for students," Connor Mulvaney said. "It is not just a critique on the current system, but a call to action. He shares with us a simple message: We can do better."
Tickets to the general public are sold out.
Robinson's lecture is sponsored by MSU's Leadership Institute, Office of the President, Office of the Provost, Honors College, College of Education, Health and Human Development, Office of International Programs, Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship, Office of Student Engagement, ASMSU, as well as Murdoch's Home and Ranch Supply.

Moral Courage: The Secret to Becoming a Gutsy Global Citizen
Monday, February 22nd
7:30pm in MSU's Strand Union Ballrooms
Doors Open at 6:45pm
Tickets $5
Available at local TicketsWest locations and the Bobcat Ticket Office
Join us for an insightful evening with internationally renowned best-selling author Irshad Manji, as she shares her story of daring moral courage. Manji is the Director of the Moral Courage Project, dedicated to equipping people with the ability to make decisions without compromising their integrity. For Manji, this means living openly as a lesbian and a Muslim. Irshad Manji seeks to encourage and empower people of all faiths and backgrounds to stand up to abuse, even in the face of fear. Manji demonstrates this integrity constantly as she receives death threats but still maintains her faith while trying to bridge the widening gap between faith and freedom. "Ms. Manji shares one of the most inspiring and powerful messages that I have ever heard," says President Waded Cruzado. "I am thrilled that our MSU community has been given the opportunity to experience such a dynamic speaker."
Known for her best-selling books, including Allah, Liberty, and Love and Trouble with Islam Today, Manji's writing focuses on empowering individuals to question and make choices in the face of fear and adversity. Manji has recently been awarded with the Lantos Human Rights Prize. According to Katrina Lantos Swett, president of the Lantos Foundation, this prize is granted to individuals with "courage and towering moral strength," and those who have faced personal danger in exposing human rights abuses. Previous recipients of the Lantos Prize include the Dalai Lama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former Israeli President Shimon Peres. Manji will speak as well as engage in an interactive Q&A session. For more information, please call the MSU Leadership Institute at 406-994-7275.

Kelly Matheson
Award-winning activist filmmaker and director of the Video as Evidence project for
Tuesday, March 8th
7:30pm in MSU's Strand Union Ballrooms
Doors Open at 6:45pm
Tickets free
Available starting January 22nd at 10:00am at local TicketsWest locations and the Bobcat Ticket Office
Human rights attorney and award-winning filmmaker Kelly Matheson will speak about her work dedicated to exposing human rights abuses through film, across the globe. As a filmmaker, attorney, and head of the Video as Evidence program under the international organization called WITNESS, Matheson teaches activists worldwide the filmmaking skills necessary to preserve their work as admissible evidence in courts of law. Indeed, Matheson wholeheartedly believes in the power of first-hand videography and photography to change the nature of evidence, saying: "The camera is the new DNA technology. The difference is that DNA technology is only available to specialists. The cell-phone camera is available to most everyone worldwide. It is a key go to source of evidence to both help us uncover the truth and hold people accountable for their actions. It is my hope that cameras in everyone's hands will bring about more transparency, accountability and justice."
An Alumni of MSU's College of Film and Photography, Matheson has taken this knowledge
to work on a wide range of human rights issues ranging from Ebola prevention to climate
change to the trafficking of children and war crimes. More recently, Matheson has
been working in Ukraine to launch a project for citizen witnesses, media activists,
and human rights advocates to better document the crime activity in Eastern Ukraine.
Matheson has been awarded the Telly Award for her film on pilots who voluntarily fly
over threatened islands in Costa Rica. Her work in Brazil was featured in the New
York Times Magazine. "Matheson is a powerful beacon of human rights advocacy, shining
a light on behind-the-scenes events that expose truths we often do not see," says
Carmen McSpadden, Director of the MSU Leadership Institute.

An artist from an affluent country has spend tens of thousands of euros to fly around the world and live in hotels to buy begging signs from street-dwellers with few euros. Anything Helps consists of 22 begging signs from 10 different countries the artist Jani Leinonen has been buying from beggars around the world during 6 years. The signs have been framed in thick golden frames under a glass. A copper plate on the glass lets the viewer know what city the sign is bought from from. Paris, New York, London, Milan, Ljubljana, Moscow, Houston, etc. The 22 piece installation will be presented in Venice Biennale, the Danish Pavilion, for the first time. 10 of the 22 signs are collected in May from Italy where the artist spend 3 weeks searching for the beggars. It became a difficult task because of the current situation in Italy. Many of beggars originating from Romania have gone underground because Italian police has bulldozed camps where Romanians lived, Berlusconi has rushed through new laws against illegal immigrants, and deployed soldiers in big cities to fight crime and ordered a census of around 150,000 Roma people or gypsies. In February 18, Berlusconi passed an emergency decree legalising citizen patrols. The name of the installation comes from the first signs the artist bought in 2003 from Houston, Texas."--Anything Helps website, http://anythinghelps.it/what.html.

At their best, the Umbilical Brothers can engage the funny bone and the imagination in awe-inspiring ways. Take the opening sketch in their new show Speedmouse, in which a man's brain control center decides to pack it up and exit the body in which it's housed. All that happens on stage is that David Collins holds a microphone to various parts of his person, while offstage Shane Dundas provides some sound effects. But what we "see" are the little brain cells scampering through David's body, pursued by some kind of strange invisible monkey, deliberately avoiding a detour in the groin area and heading down the leg and out the pants cuff. It's like a Terry Gilliam cartoon without the visual, which when you think about it is kind of amazing. And it's breathtakingly hilarious.
This level of brilliance happens at least one more time in Speedmouse, in a skit involving a three-year-old mime that I cannot say a word about lest I spoil it for you: it is at once a triumph of invention and perhaps the grandest postmodern joke ever. (The joke is on us, by the way.)
Other influences on these two Australian physical theatre artists are less intellectually stimulating: cartoons from the heyday of Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, mostly, but also Laugh-In and Ernie Kovacs (in terms of a breakneck, pile-up-enough-shtick-so-quickly-that-they're-bound-to-laugh-at-something sensibility) and the second flowering of Saturday Night Live: one of their great signature bits, repeated here but first seen in their earlier Thwak!, combines Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey's muscle men Hans and Franz with Mike Myers's precious performance artist Dieter, in a delightfully deranged (and, again, postmodern) deconstruction of classic mime.
Speedmouse, which is subtitled "The Worst of the Umbilical Brothers," comprises a variety of sketches old and new, created and performed by this zany duo (who are not, of course, actually brothers). Tying it all together are two running gags, both of which unfortunately run out of steam. They tell us up front that their show is "digital," controllable by a remote that has fallen into treacherous, or at least mischievous, hands, which means that every so often the lights will unexpectedly change and Collins and/or Dundas will suddenly start dancing, or shift to fast or slow motion, or pause, etc. It's a neat idea and it illustrates the remarkable synchronicity of the two performers plus their backstage crew; but it's really overused here.
Ditto the notion that Collins is hated by the "Roadie" who assists them during the show, while Dundas is the target of similar passive aggression from "Tina," the board operator, who we never see but whose disembodied voice we hear throughout. This idea is tied together rather neatly at the show's end, but it's played out too often during the show proper.
But mostly Speedmouse is Collins and Dundas doing their astonishing stuff, which as I said can take the audience on unmatched flights of fancy.
I'm not sure that the New Victory Theatre is the best possible venue for this show, however. In one skit, Collins and Dundas give each other "the finger" repeatedly while miming different sporting events; it's quite clever, in its sophomoric way, but it felt pretty inappropriate for a crowd full of little kids. (I can just see them all gleefully imitating this at home and at school, ad nauseum.) Other sketches, for all their earnest silliness, assume a level of maturity either to appreciate their nuance or to understand them at all. The New Victory has suggested a minimum age of 10 for this show, but their subscribers and other patrons clearly ignored that recommendation at the performance I attended; even with that caveat, I'm not sure the Umbilical Brothers belong here—I think college (or beyond) is about the right time of life to really get what's happening here.

Public support for the Democrats' healthcare reform plans has fallen to a new low — just 42 percent of voters now favor the reforms, down five percentage points from two weeks ago, a new Rasmussen Reports poll reveals.
Only 23 percent of respondents in the poll think that healthcare costs will go down if a reform plan passes Congress, and a majority believes costs will go up and quality of care will go down.
The survey also found that 41 percent of respondents have a favorable view of the people opposing healthcare reform at town hall meetings conducted by members of Congress.
Other findings of the Rasmussen poll:

|Eddie (Clinic patient)
|Joel Moore
|First Appearance
|Act Your Age
Eddie was a clinic patient in the episode Act Your Age. He was portrayed by actor Joel Moore.
Eddie came to the clinic complaining of weight gain, nausea, frequent urination and overall aches. He was seen by Gregory House. After listening to his symptoms, Dr. House asked some routine question, such as whether there was anything in his urine, to which Eddie answered "no". However, when Dr. House asked him for a urine sample, Eddie said "no" quite forcefully. Dr. House reminded him that the request wasn't a sample. Eddie explained he was bladder shy. Dr. House assured him that he could use the washroom in private, but Eddie insisted he couldn't use any washroom except his own. He offered to go home to prepare the sample and, although Dr. House thought it was an unusual request, he agreed to it.
Eddie returned a couple of hours later with the sample. Dr. House had it tested and then asked Eddie whose urine it was. Eddie insisted it was his urine. Dr. House pressed and asked that if Eddie had an uninsured friend because it was common for someone with insurance to go to their doctor with the symptoms of a friend to get a diagnosis and prescription. He told Eddie that this would be particularly stupid in this case because the clinic was free. Eddie denied any deception and asked Dr. House what the problem was. Dr. House told him he was pregnant.

Italian pediatric cardiac surgery team enters Gaza to start saving lives
Thursday, October 10, 2013
On Sunday, October 6, a nine-member team of doctors and nurses from Italy, supported by a great local anesthesiologist from Palestine, crossed into Gaza to start a mission in pediatric cardiac surgery at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. Led by Dr. Stefano Luisi, the team included Palestinian anesthesiologist Dr. Hassan Ismail, intensivist/anesthesiologist Dr. Paolo del Sarto, intesivists Dr. Piergiorgio Setti, Dr. Simonetta Maghelli and Dr. Alessandra Napoleone, perfusionist Marco Tiddia, nurse Giuseppina Dolfi and surgeon Dr. Corrado Tramontin. This is part of the "Healing Hearts" Campaign to build up the first and only pediatric cardiac program for the hundreds of children born each year in Gaza with heart disease, and is being sponsored also by our partner Cycling4Gaza. After the team set up in the European Gaza Hospital, they operated on the first baby, 11 day old Mohammed Ahmed from Rafah, who was suffering from coarctation of the aorta.

Voice of Ages marks the Chieftains 50th anniversary. Initially, Paddy Moloney wanted to get all the living members of the band together for an album-length jam on "Toss the Feathers." Concord and co-producer T-Bone Burnett had a different idea. Advance label and press hype crowed about the radical approach of this album because of its collaborations with indie rockers -- nonsense. Given the Chieftains' history, collaboration -- Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, Sting, Mary Black, Mick Jagger, Mark Knopfler, and Ry Cooder, to name a few -- is an integral part of their mission. Voice of Ages' 15 cuts contain, sadly, only one solo number. "The Chieftains Reunion" is among the album's best moments and clocks in at over 11 minutes, giving Moloney's original notion a nod. Other highlights include "Carolina Rua" with Imelda May (followed by the Chieftains jamming on a reel), "Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies" by the Pistol Annies, who wed their unique roots music to the Celtic tradition seamlessly, the stunning, "My Lagan Love" with Lisa Hannigan's otherworldly voice, and the Civil Wars' reverent yet joyful reading of "My Lily Love." On these cuts, one can hear the Chieftains really creating with their intuitive magic; extending the scope of Irish music into the world of popular music, with vocalists who understand -- at root level -- what they're all about. Another winner is Bob Dylan's "When the Ship Comes In" with the Decemberists. While Dylan's tune is based on a traditional Celtic song, the band's performance lends inspiration and celebration to the Chieftains' arrangement. "The Lark in the Clear Air/Olam Punch" and "The Frost Is Over" with the Punch Brothers produce fine results because the approach to the material is loose and lively -- and accommodating. Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More," with Paolo Nutini's gentle yet reedy vocals backed by the Chieftains at their mournful best, also features the City of Limerick Pipe Band, who give it a stately finish. Together, they make this parlor ballad as moving a reading as any out there. Some tunes just don't work, though: Bon Iver's reading of Charlie Monroe's wonderful murder ballad "Down in the Willow Garden" is labored, tired, and boring. Given the song's emotional core, it deserves to be treated with something more than faux hipster detachment. The Carolina Chocolate Drops try way too hard on "Pretty Little Girl" -- though the Chieftains sound fantastic. The Low Anthem's version of Ewan MacColl's "School Day's Over" is far too studied and restrained. The bonus track, "Lundu," with Galician piper Carlos Nunez -- and his family members helping out on bouzouki, electric guitar, percussion, and loops -- is rough and ready. It feels like a spontaneous demo, sending Voice of Ages off on a high note as the Chieftains get their Irish reel groove on. Voice of Ages is a good Chieftains recording; its solid performances easily outweigh its duds, but it feels like something less than a 50th anniversary celebration. Moloney's original idea would have been more fitting, and really something to hear. ~ Thom Jurek

My last three films from Fantasia Festival 2017, zombies, home invaders, and a sci-fi "Groundhog Day" riff.
On three of the best films from this year's Fantasia Festival in Montreal.
During the week he's the Baron, coolest pimp of them all, tooling down Sunset Strip in his orangeandyellow Rolls and gambling for girls at $10,000 stakes. But the weekends are a different story, and the Baron switches identities like Superpimp without his phone booth. He parks his Rolls on a country road, changes into a conservative business suit and tie and returns to his wife and two kids in a sleepy little suburb with lots of birds singing in the trees (there must have been a sale on birdcalls down at the Hollywood soundeffects works).
That's the premise of "The Candy Tangerine Man," a singularly unpleasant movie that somehow manages to squeeze a few humorous scenes in with the gore, the mutilations and the mass executions. The tangerine man, with his dual identity, is even made into a sort of hero (although I don't think this will inspire a TV series in which the good pimp takes on the bad pimps every Saturday night).
He's basically pimping to support his family and their cozy bungalow, see, and besides he treats his stable well and is constantly being harassed by apelike white cops, unscrupulous fellow pimps and disloyal employes. When he gets home from the office after a week of this, his wife says dinner's still hot, and he says he's too bushed to eat. Wouldn't we all be?
About those white cops. It is by now an ancient custom in blaxploitation movies that the white cops are yahoo fascist baby eaters. But even placed in that tradition, the cops in "The Candy Tangerine Man" take the cake. They talk in loud guffaws and ignorant snickers. They get the candy man up against the side of his Rolls, announce that they've been following him and that he is suspected of having (a) killed three men at the apartment of one of his hookers, (b) machinegunned two others to death and set their truck on fire and (c) grievously wounded a plainclothesman in drag, in the region of the groin. Any one of these charges, especially (c), would seem to be grounds for arrest. But the cops let the hero drive off in his Rolls, after ominously explaining that they'll get him one of these days.
Later in the film, the same two cops participate in the most unbelievable chase scene I've ever seen. The pimp has murdered six or seven of his rivals and driven off inconspicuously in his orangeandyellow getaway Rolls. The cops give chase in an unmarked car.
The chase proceeds in an orderly, even stately, fashion, with neither car going much above 40 m.p.h. All the same, the yahoo cop who's driving is such a bad driver, he swerves back and forth on the road, takes shortcuts across little gullies and ravines and ends up driving over a cliff. This is not considered competent pursuit.
There's a scene early on where the pimp plays pool with a cool dude who talks rhyming jive and manages to bring a few minutes of life into the movie. But he turns out to be a false alarm, and by the movie's end, we're yawning our way through those harrowing skids as the cars negotiate treacherous turns at blinding speeds like 25 m.p.h. Lucky thing there was also a sale on screeching tires down at the sound works.

Will the Boston Bruin who ordered the one Amstel Light beer in the team's $156,000 (US) bar tab please identify himself?
Late last week, it was revealed that the Bruins post-Stanley Cup party at a Connecticut nightclub/casino was highlighted by a bar tab that tapped out at $156,679.74. Now comes another twist in this intoxicating tale: one of the Bruins ordered a single light beer and the Amstel folks what to know who it was.
Why? They believe this player made "a great decision" and want to reward him with … more Amstel Light. The company issued a news release Tuesday asking for the Bruin who ordered the lone Light to publicly out himself, even at the risk of having it used against him by Sean Avery.
Avery: "Hey, you light beer drinking half-pint."
Bruin: "You're cut off."
The Bruins bar tab included a $100,000 bottle of rare champagne bought by the team owners. The bottle was signed by the players and will be auctioned off by the casino.
It was also reported the bar bill included 35 Jager Bombs, three bottles of Captain Morgan and 67 bottles of Fiji water.

Retirement of a partner
A partner is said to retire from the firm when he decides to leave the firm while the firm continues to exist. The partner who retires from an existing firm is known as a 'retiring partner' or an 'outgoing partner'. The retiring partner must give a public notice of his retirement. Or else, he will remain a partner in the eyes of third parties and will be liable for the acts of the firm.
The partner may retire from the firm in any of the following mode:
- He may retire with the consent of all the partners
- The partners may enter into an express agreement about the retirement of a partner. In such a case, he may retire according to the terms of the agreement
- In case of partnership at will, a partner may retire by giving a written notice of his retirement to all the other partners
Liability of a retiring partner for the acts done up to the date of retirement
- A retiring partner continues to be liable to the third parties for the acts of the firm done before his retirement
- He will also be liable for all transactions of the firm that had begun, but were unfinished at the time of his retirement
- However, Sec. 32 (2) provides that a retired partner can be released from his liability to the creditor if the remaining partners, the retired partner and the creditors agree for the release of liability
Liability of a retiring partner for the acts done after retirement
- A retiring partner is not liable for the acts of the firm done after his retirement, if a public notice of his retirement is given
- A retiring partner continues to be liable to the third parties for the acts of the firm done even after his retirement until a public notice is given of his retirement. This is based on the principle of Holding Out
- A public notice may be given either by the outgoing partner or any partner of the reconstituted firm
- In the absence of a public notice, the firm will also be liable for the acts of the retired partner, if any, done by him as the partner of the firm
- A sleeping partner will not be liable for the acts of the firm after his retirement even if a public notice is not given, since he is not known to the outsiders
Note: A retiring partner is not liable to any third party who deals with the firm without knowing that he was a partner, even if a public notice of his retirement is not given.
Rights of a retired partner
- To run a competing business
- A retiring partner has a right to start any business after his retirement
- He may start a new business which is competing with that of the firm
- He may start such a business even next door to the constituted firm and can also advertise for the same
The above mentioned rights are subject to certain restrictions so that he may not damage the interest of the firm. Subject to a contract to contrary, the restrictions are as follows:
- He should not use the name of the firm from which he has retired
- He should not represent himself as a partner of the old firm
- He should not solicit the customers who were dealing with the firm before he ceased to be a partner
- To share subsequent profits: On retirement of a partner, it is the duty of the continuing partners to settle the accounts of the retiring partner, his share of property and profits in the firm. When a final settlement of account does not take place among the partners, the outgoing partner is entitled either
- To share profits earned by the firm after his retirement or
- To share interest at the rate of 6% p.a. on the amount of his share in the property of the firm

After creating an account on Red Hat OpenShift I created a new app based on perl and added a cron container so we can run our script every few minutes (to stop overloading the YouTube API if the site gets popular):
That was all the configuration needed, the 'fomc' directory is populated with everything you need. OpenShift when you deploy your app, figures out your perl dependencies and grabs and builds them for you, so no messing around needing root or even logging into the host.rhc-create-app -a fomc -t perl-5.10 rhc-ctl-app -a fomc -e add-cron-1.4 cd fomc
By default the file
perl/index.pl will get served, but since
we're going to cache the output from the script let's make it a html file
index. To do this simply add to the existing
I wrote this quick perl program to query the YouTube API and do a simplistic HTML page of the number of likes for each of the videos in the playlist, and placed it in the main directory asDirectoryIndex index.html
youtube.pl. Now to get it created every ten minutes
we use the cron container by creating a
.openshift/cron/minutely/perljob with the contents:
The cron job is run every minute, but the "modulus 10" ensures we only run the perl script once every 10 minutes. We use an intermediate file so that anyone visiting the site during the time it takes to create the file doesn't get a blank page. Finally we want to make sure that we don't have to wait ten minutes for the file to be created when we push the app, and give people the ability to see the source, so we create#!/bin/bash MIN=`date +%M` if [ $((${MIN#0} % 10)) == 0 ]; then perl ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/youtube.pl > ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/index.html mv -f ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/index.html ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/perl/index.html fi
.openshift/action_hooks/post_deploy with the contents:
And that's it. Just runcp ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/youtube.pl ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/perl/youtubepl.txt perl ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/youtube.pl > ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/perl/index.html
And the app is up and running; here it is: http://fomc-esoom.rhcloud.com/. If this blog was useful (blatent plug!) please click on "Tracy Cox", make sure you're logged in, and click "like" ;)git add . git commit -a -m 'first app' git push

Description: Through the stories of gaming's greatest innovations and most beloved creations, journalist Harold Goldberg captures the creativity, controversy--and passion--behind the videogame's meteoric rise to the top of the pop-culture pantheon. Over the last fifty years, video games have grown from curiosities to fads to trends to one of the world's most popular forms of mass entertainment. But as the gaming industry grows in numerous directions and everyone talks about the advance of the moment, few explore and seek to understand the forces behind this profound evolution. How did we get from Space Invaders to Grand Theft Auto? How exactly did gaming become a $50 billion industry and a dominant pop culture form? What are the stories, the people, the innovations, and the fascinations behind this incredible growth? Through extensive interviews with gaming's greatest innovators, both its icons and those unfairly forgotten by history, All Your Base Are Belong To Us sets out to answer these questions, exposing the creativity, odd theories--and passion--behind the twenty-first century's fastest-growing medium. Go inside the creation of: Grand Theft Auto * World of Warcraft * Bioshock * Kings Quest * Bejeweled * Madden Football * Super Mario Brothers * Myst * Pong * Donkey Kong * Crash Bandicoot * The 7th Guest * Tetris * Shadow Complex * Everquest * The Sims * And many more!
