Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | CSP #706D - HIV Seroprevalence and Risks in Veterans With Severe Mental Illness |
Study Start Date: | January 1998 |
Detailed Description:
Primary Objectives: To determine the prevalence of HIV and other related infections such as Hepatitis C, along with associated risk behaviors, in patients with severe mental illness (SMI).
Secondary Objectives: To identify the implications for mental health and medical services and to obtain a better understanding of the contextual factors that affect the health problems associated with HIV risk behavior.
Primary Outcomes: The primary outcome variables are HIV seroprevalence, prevalence of HIV risk behaviors including injection drug use and sexual promiscuity, personal and social-contextual factors, comorbid mental disorders, and health service use among SMI persons in each group, veterans versus non-veterans.
Intervention: N/A
Study Abstract: It is suspected, but not well documented, that persons with severe mental illness represent a significant transmission source of serious infectious diseases. SMI diagnoses are defined as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Severely mentally ill persons are at high risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). To assess the risk of HIV and related infections among these individuals, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Office on AIDS funded the HIV/SMI five site collaborative study "Assessing HIV/AIDS and Associated Health Risks in People with Severe Mental Illness". This Durham ERIC study supplements the NIMH HIV/SMI study with a four-year longitudinal cohort study of 300-plus SMI veterans in order to estimate the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors and HIV infection, as well as to measure utilization of health services over time. The Durham VA is the only VA site represented in the study and is collaborating with four non-VA sites including Dartmouth, University of New Hampshire, University of Connecticut and Duke University. As such, we have the additional goals of investigating health and health-care-service issues relevant to veterans with SMI and of establishing a database for the longitudinal study of veterans with SMI.
Study participation consisted of a one-hour structured HIV-risk behavior interview and a blood and urine sample. These samples are being tested for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, cytomegalovirus, gonorrhea, and chlamydia at the Durham VA Microbiology Laboratory. Subject enrollment for this study concluded 6/30/2000 with 399 total subjects enrolled. Of these 399 enrolled, 111 subjects were re-tested and re-interviewed. The percentage of subjects enrolled at the Durham VAMC with infectious diseases is as follows: 2.6% with HIV infection; 21% with Hepatitis B core antibodies; and, 18% with Hepatitis C antibodies. Clinical management of subjects with positive serology continues to be administered according to the procedures developed by Richard Frothingham, M.D.
Final Results: The initial manuscript for the study was published in American Journal of Public Health in January, 2001 and analyses for additional publications are underway. Final Report to be submitted to Durham ERIC within 90 days of study end date (3/31/02).

Looking for a Used 9-3 in your area?
CarGurus has 1,119 nationwide 9-3 listings starting at $975.
The GoodExtra power and a ton of extra options, all during a carryover year, mean 2009 won't be a lull for Saab's 9-3.
The BadSome owners say a slightly too-harsh ride for the '09 9-3's convertible Aero trim has taken some of the pleasure out of pleasure cruising.
The CarGurus View
The 2009 Saab 9-3 is a stellar example of what a compact sedan and convertible can be, but go in knowing what you want. With the price difference between a front-wheel-drive 2.0T and an Aero convertible at almost twenty thousand dollars, it's easy to jump out of your price range in a hurry. Thankfully, there's not a trim in the lineup that will be a disappointment.
At a Glance
Saab's 2009 9-3 may be a carryover, but it sports a wealth of new options and features. Available as either a four-door sedan or a two-door convertible, the 9-3 has two trim levels, 2.0T and Aero, comes in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, and has a four- or six-cylinder engine, both turbocharged. This luxury compact replaced the previous 900 series that enjoyed so much success.
As of October 2008, the Saab XWD system was made available on 2.0T models, and this option carries over into the current model year. For the top-tier Aero trim, an award-winning and more powerful 280-hp V6 engine and an electronically controlled limited-slip were made standard. For the 2.0T sport FWD trims, an Aero type appearance and performance package is now available that offers upgraded brakes as well as a sport-tuned suspension in addition to styling changes, and 17x7.5-inch five-spoke alloys come standard, as on the Aero models. 2.0T XWD models get 17x7-inch alloys.
Further additions include carbon-fiber interior trim on Aero models, OnStar 8.0 with Turn-by-Turn Navigation, and Bluetooth. Color choices change as well, with Grey now being offered as a new convertible top option, Carbon Grey Metallic and Smoke Beige debuting as new exterior colors, and Glass Grey Metallic replacing Parchment Silver.
Two engines are available, a 2.0-liter for the 2.0T trim and a 2.8-liter for the Aero versions. The inline four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged engine puts out a healthy 210 hp and still gets an EPA rating of 18/27 mpg. For an extra 70 hp, choose the Aero model's 2.8-liter V6, which will still hand out a respectable 15/24 rating. At 280 hp, this is an increase of 25 hp over 2008. Saab recommends 90-octane gasoline for both engines.
There are three transmissions, with a six-speed manual coming standard on FWD 2.0T trims, with the option of a five-speed automatic as well. Aero versions and AWD 2.0T's come with either a six-speed automatic or the six-speed manual as a no-cost option.
Both engines are strong, exhibiting little turbo-lag, with the 2.8 showing exceptional power throughout its rpm range. Lag is a larger problem with the 2.0, but power builds quickly and confidently, and both automatics compensate well with precise downshifting.
Ride & Handling
The handling of the 9-3 inspires confidence in every trim and configuration, although it varies on a scale of composed to slightly harsh when moving from 2.0T to Aero convertibles, whose stiffer suspension and structural rigidity can reverberate bumps rather than absorb. With that in mind, the Aero trims offer increased grip and handling over the already impressive response of the 2.0T. Steering is light and precise, both at speed and in the parking lot. The 9-3's ride and handling are at the top of its class - expect to be impressed.
Cabin & Comfort
The 9-3 is a pleasant blend of upscale luxury and sporty appeal, although some owners have complained that selected plastic materials feel cheaper than should be allowed at this level. Controls are well placed and intuitive, having been well-received overall, with the possible exception of the navigation system's absorption of the audio functions.
Interior space is ample in the sedan and adequate in the convertible, which will find taller drivers looking for a bit more head and shoulder room, especially in the back. This becomes especially inconvenient if a taller driver or passenger pushes the front seats fully back and down, removing much of the available leg and foot space, and making the back seat almost useless for adults. Cargo space is quite impressive, especially in the convertible, with 12.4 cu-ft available in the convertible's trunk, although 4 of those feet are taken up by the retracted soft-top.
Regardless of trim, buyers will be treated to a leather interior with a power driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, OnStar and 16-inch alloy wheels. However, for those who want a bit more, a Premium Package offers a power passenger seat as well, wood trim, 17-inch wheels, Bose stereo, steering-linked Xenon fog and headlights, heated seats, and a moonroof for the sedans.
The Aero additionally provides a sport-tuned suspension, power sunroof, dual polished exhaust, upgraded seats, brakes and additional styling upgrades to distinguish it from other trims.
All trims come standard with a host of safety features, a Saab tradition. Dual front, front side, and curtain side airbags are coupled with front-seat active head restraints. Antilock four-wheel disc brakes, an anti-skid system, tire-pressure monitor, emergency inside trunklid release, and daytime running lights are all standard, with the only additional safety feature being a rear obstacle detection system that comes standard on Aero trims.
NHTSA test results awarded four stars in all categories excepting side impacts involving the driver, which earned five stars.
What Owners Think
The 9-3 has been a perennial favorite for Saab, and a natural evolution from the immensely successful 900 series. A wealth of upgrades in this carryover year, the addition of the XWD system to the 2.0T trim, and the extra horsepower for the 2.8-liter engine have been especially well-received. Additionally, the standard limited-slip differential added to the Aero and the Aero-type package for the 2.0T FWD trim has been a welcome addition, highly praised by owners.

Dubai: Aug 21, 2013
Virat Kohli is the highest-ranked Indian batsman placed in joint sixth position in the latest Twenty20 rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday. However, there is no presence of Indian bowlers in the top-10 bowlers' list.
At eighth, Suresh Raina is the second Indian batsman in the top-10 with Yuvraj Singh being a distant next at 16th.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is the highest-ranked Indian bowler at the 16th spot in the bowlers' chart.
Elsewhere, Pakistan will begin their two-match Twenty20 International series against Zimbabwe on August 23 with an aim to reduce the gap with the number-one ranked Sri Lanka.
The two-match series starts in Harare with the second match scheduled to be held on August 24.
Currently ranked second with 124 ratings points, Mohammad Hafeez's side can gain one rating point if it wins both the matches, to finish with 125 ratings points and thereby reduce the gap with Sri Lanka (128) to three.
Zimbabwe too have an opportunity to move up, and will jump one place to 11th if they win both matches in the series.
Zimbabwe are currently ranked 12th with 48 ratings points, and can gain up to 16 ratings points to move to the 11th with 64 ratings points.
Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez will start the series with an all-round presence in the rankings.
Hafeez is currently ranked second among all-rounders with a career-high 432 ratings points, and is also fourth in the bowlers list and 17th among the batsmen.
In the bowling table, Saeed Ajmal in second and Shahid Afridi in at 11th are the other Pakistan players inside the top 20.
For Zimbabwe, spinner Prosper Utseya is the only bowler inside the top 10 — at the ninth position. The bowlers' list is still headed by West Indies' Sunil Narine, with Sri Lanka's Ajantha Mendis third.

Ethics & Diversity |
AFP fosters the development and growth of fundraising professionals and promotes high ethical standards in the fundraising profession.Ethical standards and principles are the foundation for maintaining public trust, for every AFP member. AFP provides a self-governed process for addressing ethical concerns. Resources on ethical standards are available on the AFP International website: Guidelines, Codes, StandardsDonor Bill of Rights - To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, AFP and other fundraising organizations declare that all donors have the following rights. Code of Ethical Principles and Standards - The foundation of philanthropy is ethical fundraising, and a key mission of AFP is to advance and foster the highest ethical standards through its Code of Ethical Principles and Standards. Member Benefit: AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards (June 26, 2006) - In the 2004 AFP Member Benefits Survey, AFP members overwhelming agreed that the Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practice was the highest-rated member benefit. The Accountable Nonprofit Organization - "The Accountable Nonprofit Organization" is a statement of principles. It outlines the operations and procedures a charity undertakes to show it is accountable to donors, the people it serves, and the general public. Ethics Enforcement: Handling and Preventing Unethical Behavior - The stature of any self-regulated profession depends on how successfully it enforces ethical standards. Professional codes embody not just codifications of right and wrong but also the calling's ideals, aspirations, and sense of trusteeship for society. AFP's Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practice, which includes detailed enforcement procedures, clearly expresses the association's vision of philanthropy promoted through responsible fundraising. Emerging IssuesNew Accounting Standards on Reporting Fundraising Expenses (July 30, 2007) - The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) released new guidelines for the reporting of fundraising expenses by charitable organizations. Behavior of Management, Supervisors Critical in Reinforcing Ethics (July 9, 2007) - Employed adults ranked the behavior of management and direct supervisors as the top two factors contributing to the promotion of an ethical workplace, according to a new survey by audit, tax, consulting and financial advisory firm Deloitte & Touche USA. Position Paper: Face-to-Face Fundraising Guidelines (Canada) - These guidelines represent voluntary principles that apply to charitable organizations, non-governmental organizations, paid fundraisers and relevant third parties who utilize face-to-face fundraising as part of their fundraising activities. Do Nonprofits Really Need an Audit Committee? (Dec. 6, 2004) - The effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is starting to 'trickle down' to nonprofits, and forming a separate audit committee is one of the items on the agenda for discussion. New Standards for Community Foundations (June 21, 2004)- In another sign of the nonprofit sector's emerging focus on accountability, the foundation community is in the process of developing a series of standards and stewardship principles to encourage public trust. |
Our chapter is committed to inclusiveness.The AFPNEO Chapter adopted the AFP International 's definition of diversity and agrees to help embrace and engage diverse individuals, groups, organizations, and activities to help chapter members, their organizations and their donors achieve a diverse and inclusive representation of: organizations represented, work experience levels, geographic location, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender and religious traditions. The AFPNEO chapter believes that inclusiveness is an essential source of vitality and strength for an organization's mission and will strive to incorporate policies and practices that reflect the AFP's diversity goal. ResourcesDiversity in Giving: The Changing Landscape of American Philanthropy is a free ebook available from Blackbaud. As the United States continues to grow and become more diverse, it's more important than ever to consider whether the nonprofit playbook is due for an overhaul. Do current fundraising efforts have the cultural competency to reach all Americans who might support nonprofits? Based on a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. donors, our first-ever Diversity in Giving study provides an in-depth analysis of the priorities, values, and attitudes of African-American, Asian, and Hispanic donors. By understanding each group's giving attitudes and preferences, this study serves as a strong foundation to guide your organization toward a more inclusive—and effective—fundraising approach.

Cincinnati District Office Central Region 6751 Steger Drive Cincinnati, OH 45237-3097 Telephone: (513) 679-2700 FAX: (513) 679-2771 |
June 25, 2009
Johannes Vande Kolk, Co-Owner
Chesterfield Dairy
15710 County Road 14
Lyons, Ohio 43533
Dear Mr. Vande Kolk:
On March 3, 4, and 25, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation of your dairy operation located at 15710 County Road 14, Lyons, Ohio 43533. This letter notifies you of the violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that we found during our investigation of your operation. You can find the Act and its associated regulations on the Internet through links on FDA's web page at www.fda.gov.
We found that you offered for sale an animal for slaughter as food that was adulterated. Under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it bears or contains a new animal drug that is unsafe under section 512 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b. Further, under section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it has been held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
Specifically, our investigation revealed that on or about September 15, 2008, you consigned five cows, one of which was a dairy cow with back tag (b) (4) for slaughter as food. On or about September 17, 2008, (b) (4) slaughtered this animal. United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) analysis of tissue samples collected from this animal identified the presence of 0.158 ppm of flunixin in the liver. FDA has established a tolerance of 0.125 ppm for residues of flunixin in the liver of cattle as codified in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 556.286 (21 C.F.R. 556.286).The presence of this drug in edible tissue from this animal in this amount causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii).
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. For example, you failed to maintain complete treatment records. Food from animals held under such conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).
The investigation also revealed that you provided a false guaranty, a prohibited act under section 301(h) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 331(h). On or about September 15, 2008, you provided (b) (4) with a signed livestock owner's certification stating that none of the livestock described on the invoice, including the cow identified with backtag (b) (4) which was found to have a violative flunixin residue, was adulterated with illegal levels of drug residue within the meaning of the Act. Pursuant to section 301(h) of the Act, 21 § U.S.C. 331(h), providing such a false guaranty is a prohibited act.
The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. As a producer of animals offered for use as food, you are responsible for ensuring that your overall operation and the food you distribute is in compliance with the law.
The investigation also found that you routinely administer (b)(4) (Flunixin Meglumine) Injectable Solution, (b)(4) to dairy cows without following the dosage as stated in the approved labeling. Specifically, you stated that you routinely administer 10-15 cc of (b)(4) to cows and that the temperature of the animal determines the dosage you administer. Use of this drug in this manner is an extralabel use. 21 C.F.R. 530.3(a). Your extralabel use of (b)(4) (Flunixin Megluruine) Injectable Solution, (b)(4) is not under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, as required by 21 C.F.R. 530.11 (a). This practice may result in giving the wrong dose to an animal, which could result in an illegal drug residue.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations described in this letter and to establish procedures to ensure that these violations do not recur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice such as seizure and/or injunction.
You should notify this office in writing of the steps you have taken to bring your firm into compliance with the law within fifteen (15) working days of receiving this letter. Your response should include each step that has been taken or will be taken to correct the violations and prevent their recurrence.

Near the end of A Storm of Swords, we learn that, as part of his alliance with the Lannisters, Roose Bolton has been made Warden of the North, and his son Ramsay has been legitmized and betrothed to Arya Stark. We also meet the fake, imposter Arya that the Lannisters are sending north to marry Ramsay. But who is this strange girl? Thus far, we only have one suspect who fits, but the clues are compelling.
That suspect is Jeyne Poole. Daughter of the steward of Winterfell, Jeyne was one of Sansa's closest friends. She traveled south to King's Landing with Sansa and her father, but after the fighting after Robert's death, she is not heard from again. But why would we believe that she is the fake Arya Stark?
First, let's take a look at what happened to her after the fighting. Jeyne was thrown into a room with Sansa when the fighting began (GoT, pg. 543), but Cersei becomes angry when she learns of this. Apparently she wants Sansa to be alone, so she doesn't hear what really went on during the fighting. An interesting quote:
Queen Cersei looked at each of the councillors in turn. "I won't have Sansa fretting needlessly. What shall we do with this little friend of hers, my lords?"
Lord Petyr leaned forward. "I'll find a place for her."
"Not in the city," said the queen.
"Do you take me for a fool?"
The queen ignored that. "Ser Boros, escort this girl to Lord Petyr's apartments and instruct his people to keep her there until he comes for her."
--GoT, pg. 547
And that's the last we hear of poor Jeyne Poole--being sent off to Littlefinger's apartments for some unknown purpose. All of this might have been forgotten except for another quote, when Tywin is telling Tyrion about the fake Arya:
"...and Roose Bolton becomes Warden of the North and takes home Arya Stark."
"Arya Stark?" Tyrion cocked his head. "And Bolton? I might have known Frey would not have the stomach to act alone. But Arya...Varys and Ser Jacelyn searched for her for more than half a year. Arya Stark is surely dead."
"So was Renly, until the Blackwater."
"What does that mean?"
"Perhaps Littlefinger succeeded where you and Varys failed. Lord Bolton will wed the girl to his bastard son."
--SoS, pg. 595
Tywin's above quote heavily implies that it was Littlefinger who produced the fake Arya. Since Jeyne was last seen being sent to Littlefinger, it is not too much a stretch to assume that Littlefinger is simply sending her elsewhere.
Jaime has the opportunity to meet the fake Arya:
A groom led a fine gray mare out a stable door. On her back was mounted a skinny hollow-eyed girl wrapped in a heavy cloak...The girl's long brown hair blew wild in the wind. She had a pretty face, he thought, but her eyes were sad and wary.
When she saw him, she inclined her head. "Ser Jaime," she said in a thin, anxious voice. "You are kind to see me off."
Jaime studied her closely. "You know me, then?"
She bit her lip. "You may not recall, as I was littler then...but I had the honor to meet you at Winterfell when King Robert came to visist my father Lord Eddard." She lowered her big brown eyes and mumbled, "I'm Arya Stark."
Jaime had never paid much attention to Arya Stark, but it seemed to him that this girl was older...
--SoS, pg. 820
We can pull loads of interesting facts from this one description. For one, Jaime thinks the fake Arya is older than the real Arya. This makes sense, because Jeyne was the same age as Sansa (GoT, pg.472), about two years older than Arya. Also, the fake Arya is a pretty northern girl with dark hair. Jeyne is described as a 'pretty, dark-haired girl.' (GoT, pg. 472) It does not seem very likely that there are two pretty, dark-haired northern girls who are a few years older than Arya that happen to be in Littlefinger's custody, so the odds are that it is Jeyne. Additionally, the fake Arya seems sad. Of course, this could be because she is marrying the monstrous Ramsay Bolton, but it could also be because her father was killed and she was taken away from her friend. Finally, the girl recognizes Jaime straight off. This too makes sense, because Jeyne would have noticed Jaime from when he visited Winterfell.
It makes sense that Jeyne would be picked to masquerade as Arya. She has the benefit of knowing Winterfell and its inhabitants, as opposed to just some random orphan who could be asigned to play the part. So while the evidence is nowhere near conclusive, Jeyne Poole is the only suspect we have at present for being the fake Arya. Her physical description and history match up, and all the clues point in that direction. GRRM has stated that we will eventually discover what happened to Jeyne (SSM, # 50), so we shall just have to wait and see if our theory is correct.

Advertisement It took the researchers over two years to find and develop a material that could perfectly replicate the chemistry in soil allowing plants to grow naturally in it. And eventually they settled on a synthetic composite called Nafion that was developed by DuPont back in the 1960s, and is now used in modern fuel cells.When saturated with a water-based solution they developed, the Nafion becomes almost completely see-through, allowing researchers to better understand the previously invisible process of root growth. And a better understanding could in turn let them develop plants that are better suited for a wide variety of soil conditions. The new see-through soil could also revolutionize playgrounds and backyards around the world, letting kids get as messy as they want without ever permanently damaging their clothing.

Ghostface's Theodore Unit About To Emerge
- 2004-07-01 15:01:29
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2004-07-01
Ghostface Killahs new group Theodore Unit is preparing to drop their new album, 718, named after a New York area code.
Ghostface has described Theodore Unit, which consists of Cappadonna, Kryme Life, Wigs, Du-Lilz, Trife Da God and Solomon Childs, as a consortium of deep thinkers.
You dont necessarily have to be an emcee, its more like a movement, Ghostface recently told AllHipHop.com. We dont need anybody around us that s not thinking for themselves. There are many meanings to Theodore like the open door. And we just go in. The mind is infinite. If you can think it, lets do it.
The album is slated to hit stores August 3 on Sure Shot Recordings and features appearances by Method Man, Raekwon and others.
In related news, Ghost will try his hand in the hot urban clothing market and is working to launch a new line, called G-Dini Clothing.
Hes meeting with different designers and checking out things out, Ghosts manager Jason Caruso said. Hes getting a lot of samples. Its gonna be within his style.
The clothing line is still in its infant stages and there is no exact date when G-Dini will be in retail outlets.

text: One of the hardest things for early humans to master was fireAlasdair Wilkins3/15/11 7:00pmFiled to: anthropologyFireArchaeologyEuropehumansSciencetweetFb35EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Humans first gained control of fire somewhere between 200,000 and 1.7 million years ago. But whenever they harnessed fire, they didn't take it with them to frigid northern Europe, where they shivered without fire for over 600,000 years. Advertisement The current scientific consensus is that humans did indeed know how to make fire when they first migrated to the cold expanses of Europe roughly a million years ago. But that knowledge isn't reflected at all in any archaeological sites older than about 350,000 years, meaning they spent a ton of time making do without fire.Archaeologically speaking, there are a bunch of telltale signs that fire should leave behind, such as charcoal remnants or charred bones. But there's a shocking shortage of such evidence for the first 600,000 years of human habitation of Europe. Advertisement Now, it's possible we just happen to have stumbled on sites where such artifacts were not well-preserved - as a legendary archaeological axiom states, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence - but it does appear humans managed without any real control over fire for hundreds of thousands of years. If humans really did endure the cold of northern Europe without fire for 600,000 years, then they're either a lot braver than we thought...or a lot more foolish.PNAS via Scientific American.Reply35 repliesLeave a reply

The Experiment of the Century
It worked; and in a few millionths of a second, science became more powerful than all the age-old nation-states
April 1999 | Volume 50, Issue 2
The Jornada Del Muerto, the Dead Man's Trail, a waterless seventy-five-mile stretch of alkaline desert in southern New Mexico north of Alamogordo, was named in an age when transportation depended on water and grass rather than refined hydrocarbons. In secrecy, in the spring of 1945, the last year of the Second World War, dedicated and determined men moved equipment into that emptiness to prepare to conduct the largest physics experiment ever attempted up to that time.
The U.S. Army leased the David McDonald ranch in the middle of the Jornada site for a field laboratory. The physicist Kenneth T. Bainbridge, in charge of the Trinity test, marked out ground zero thirty-four hundred yards northwest. Contractors built earthsheltered bunkers, with concrete slab roofs supported by oak beams thicker than railroad ties, at compass points north, west, and south, ten thousand yards away—two for cameras, recording instruments, and searchlights, one for use as a control bunker. A base camp of tents and barracks took shape five miles south. Twenty miles northwest Compañia Hill served as a VIP scenic overlook. When the first manmade slow-neutron nuclear reaction had started up in a pile of graphite and uranium stacked on the floor of a doubles squash court under the west stands of the University of Chicago football stadium three years earlier, the VIP scenic overlook had been no farther away than the squash-court balcony. The change of scale calibrated the difference in energy release between the two historic experiments, half a watt compared with the equivalent of eighteen thousand tons of TNT.
A hundred-foot prefabricated steel tower went up at ground zero with a corrugated-iron cab at the top to house the test device. The device itself, which its inventors insouciantly called a "gadget," was delivered in two separate shipments. The core—two silver-plated plutonium hemispheres the size of a baseball and a little walnut-sized initiator of goldplated beryllium and polonium— rode down from Los Alamos on July 12,1945, in a shock-mounted carrying case in the back seat of an Army sedan, like a visiting general. The high-explosive assembly in its five-foot conical duralumin case left Los Alamos on the back of a truck just after midnight on Friday the thirteenth, deliberate bravado timing against the day's unlucky reputation.
Friday morning the pit-assembly team clicked the initiator into place between the two plutonium hemispheres, nested the core in a hollowed plug of uranium, and drove the heavy cylinder to the tower. A crew there, Oppenheimer among them, worked through the day to insert the pit assembly into the center of the high-explosive arrangement and button it up. They bandaged the multiple holes in the case, where detonators would be inserted, with crosses of white tape. Saturday, twisting slowly and looking wounded, the gadget winched its way into the cab at the top of the tower as the scientists watched nervously in the hot sun. With the device settled safely on its skid, another crew unbandaged it, inserted its multiple detonators, and connected them through a harness of cables to a bank of battery-powered capacitors that would charge them. Oppenheimer gave his offspring a final inspection Sunday evening; it crouched in the high cab ugly as Caliban.
The test was scheduled for Monday morning, July 16, just before dawn. Los Alamos scientists, project leaders flown down from Washington, and Army men gathered to watch it. A front off the Gulf of Mexico had blown in. Thunderstorms began lashing the Jornada at about 0200 hours. "It was raining cats and dogs, lightning and thunder," the Columbia University physicist I. I. Rabi remembered, and everyone was "really scared [that] this object there in the tower might be set off accidentally." But by 0315 the clouds had begun to open and a few stars were shining. The countdown started in the control bunker ten thousand yards south of ground zero. At 0529:45 the firing circuit closed.

Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival
May 1 to 31, 2017 throughout Toronto. Visit the official website: ScotiabankCONTACTPhoto.com.
The World's Largest Annual Photography Event
Scotiabank CONTACT is the month-long festival of photography that takes place in venues across the Greater Toronto Area from May 1 to 31. As the largest photography festival in the world, Scotiabank CONTACT has become a premiere cultural event with a broad range of international programming. Whether acclaimed international artists or local emerging photographers, participants exhibit in a variety of venues, from major public museums to private galleries and many alternative spaces including billboards, Pearson International Airport and the facades of significant cultural buildings.
Celebrating 20 Years
May 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the festival. To celebrate this milestone, an expanded program focuses on 20 Primary Exhibitions at major museums and galleries, plus 20 Public Installations at sites across the city. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:
UofT Drizzy
(Various locations on St. George Campus.) UofTDrizzy is an anonymous parody instagram account that appropriates images of Toronto rapper Drake, creating the illusion that he is a student at the university. The account, followed by Drake himself, has over 15 thousand followers today.
Prada Marfa
(Richmond Adelaide Centre.) Elmgreen and Dragset's sculpture Prada Marfa has been permanently installed alongside U.S. highway Route 90 in the northwest of Texas since 2005. Their 8-minute video depicts the sculpture throughout a day's cycle – presented on a walnut large format monitors, the work is visible 24/7 from the street.
Casa Susanna
(St. Patrick subway station, Dundas Street West & University Avenue.) Recently discovered photo albums from the 1950s and 60s contained hundreds of snapshots depicting cross-dressers united at a large Victorian-style house in small-town New Jersey called Casa Susanna. Documenting the inhabitants, visitors and guests, these images provide insight into a very private club and underground culture in its pre-glam, pre-drag-pose ordinariness.
Cutlines: Newspaper Photography from Globe and Mail
(444 Front Street West.) The graphic device of an editor's red cancellation mark, interrupts an iconic black and white image presented as a large-scale mural on the building's north/east facade. The installation speaks of newspaper photography, archives, the intervention of editors and the analogue act of deletion that in pre digital age, still leaves the fingerprint traces of decision making.
Confirmed Artists
Some of the confirmed notable artists to be featured at CONTACT this year include Rodney Graham, Sarah Anne Johnson, Annie MacDonnell, Mickalene Thomas, James Barnor, Kotoma Bouabane, Angela Grauerholtz, Thomas Ruff, Christian Patterson, Raymond Boisjoly, Guy Maddin, Joel Meyerowitz, Leslie Hewitt, Vikky Alexander and more!

I'm trying to determine what would be a good configuration for a site getting on avg 12000 hits per day. I'm running on a VPS with 2GB memory with the LiteSpeed Enterprise version. Are the settings below acceptable? Max Connections: 500 PHP_LSAPI_MAX_REQUESTS=500 PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN=50 Memory Soft Limit: 500M Memory Hard Limit: 550M Process Soft Limit: 500 Process Hard Limit: 550 DDOS Settings: Per Client Static Reqs/sec: 200 Per Client Dyn Reqs/sec: 200
change "Max connections" to "50", it must not be higher than "PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN" Your DDoS setting does not protect you from request flood at all, start from Per Client Static Reqs/sec: 20 Per Client Dyn Reqs/sec: 1 or 2
anewday, The Server Level settings for "External Application Resource" are as follows. CPU Soft Limit (sec): 300 CPU Hard Limit (sec): 600 Memory Soft Limit (bytes): 250M Memory Hard Limit (bytes): 300M Process Soft Limit: 400 Process Hard Limit: 450 I'm not sure if these values come into play since I'm setting the External Application resources at the vhost level.
Yes there is a global setting at the Server level for the CPU Limits. However, the global settings (below) seem to be acceptable. CPU Soft Limit (sec): 300 CPU Hard Limit (sec): 600 Using a soft limit of 300 seconds of CPU time for an external application should be okay in my situation.
I don't see the global settings for those under External Apps for lsphp4 or lsphp5. What are your soft and hard limits for connections under the DDOS settings?
I recommend putting 20 for connection soft limit and 30 for connection hard limit, and set the grace period to 15 seconds and banned period to 2500 seconds. -Hady Abed
I've never had a problem with those settings. Pretty sure they're the same settings mistwang recommended in one of his posts a while back. -Hady Abed
Most web browsers open 30 or more connections to download a page and not to mention 15 seconds may not be enough time to load a page completely on a dialup connection. What kind of sites do you have? For forums with many js, css, php, images, there should be many banned IPs.
It depends on the number of images linked from that page. FireFox 3 is more aggressive on open new connections. You should add "Expires header" to those static files, so the client only need to load them once for a while. Remember, only count connections in ESTABLISHED state.
I set the Hard Limit to 100 today and so far, there is one banned IP. The person was using Opera to browse the coppermine gallery. I don't know if their connection is slow or what. George, maybe there should be a grace period for Hard Limit too. I can't seem to find a good value.
I set expires headers for images, css, and javascript to 12 hours now. But, that will have no effect on new visitors loading the content for the first time.
I just noticed that litespeed admin panel shows the followiing under Expires Settings in General tab. Code: image/*=A604800, text/css=A604800, application/x-javascript=A604800 (these are default, I believe) But, I have the following in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf Code: <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/gif A43200 ExpiresByType image/png A43200 ExpiresByType image/jpg A43200 ExpiresByType image/jpeg A43200 ExpiresByType text/css A43200 ExpiresByType text/javascript A43200 </IfModule> What should I do now? Can I write ExpiresByType image/* A43200 instead of listing each image type above? And, which is correct? text/javascript or application/javascript ?
The configuration in httpd.conf will be used for Apache vhosts. Yes, you can use image/*, if the MIME type does not exist, you have set it explicitly. You need to find out what MIME is used for ".js" and set expiring configuration accordingly.
If I import Apache vhosts, the /usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types file will be used? And the LS admin panel (/config/confMgr.php?m=serv&p=general&)t=SERV_MIME_TOP edits that file, right?
The same is happening on my forums on topics with many images/attachments. If there is a grace period for hard limit, it would eliminate many banned IPs of legitimate users. Most of the IPs are using Opera, it seems to open many connections to download the files on a page.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Things just never worked out the way they were supposed to this season for the Celtics. Jason Terry and Courtney Lee could never replace Ray Allen. Rajon Rondo blew out his knee, and slowly the team's cracks turned into craters.
So, this was the best they had, pushing the more talented Knicks to six games before losing Friday night, 88-80. The Celtics should not be ashamed because they were the inferior team, playing on the will of aging Kevin Garnett and past-his-prime Paul Pierce.
If this series proved anything, it was that the Celtics can no longer depend on those two. Their star power is gone. They entered this battle carrying a handful of dirt in one hand and a dull knife in the other.

This TV very good. It is best TV that I hav ever had. It has a very nice picture. Picture and color very clear. It easy to use. It make movys better. I notice TV shows funnyer with this TV. When watching thee news this TV give you more news then hour old tv did and news is newer. Hour old TV give us older news but this one give new news. This TV is 1080p hour old TV was 720p so you can stor 1080 pictures on TV but we never learn how to do but want to learn this time because we have lots of pictures of kids. I cant watch scary movie on TV because it make movie scaryer than old TV. Sales man said TV good on energy so it save lots of energy. This help keep gas prices down and saves gas used in america. This reason why we buy TV because we want to save energy so america do not run out of gas and make gas high.

Everything but NetFlix
By Dave
from California
An absolutely fabulous TV. I got a great deal at a local retailer, much cheaper than via the Internet so that helps. I really like everything about the TV, but the manual needs work. Somethings are covered in excellent detail but other things (e.g. audio setup, headphones) aren't covered at all. Still its all about the TV and it has been great. I am concerned that the 2009 model won't support NetFlix now that Panasonic has announced that it will be adding it to the TV. I had no trouble with the Internet setup, just plugged in the cable, selected VieraCast and waited. It is really nice to watch my Picasa slide show on the big screen. I would really like to watch Hulu, but that doesn't seen in the cards. I'm old so the interface to enter Internet accounts via the remote control was a pain, but people who text a lot probably wouldn't mind. If it only supported a keyboard and the ability to go to any site I would be buying one for every room.

Very Satisfied Customer

I had lbeen an interested window shopper for years for high def TV's and just kept holding off for the next year's technology to come out. I finally purchased this tv a few weeks ago have watched it throughout the bowl season and I still can't get over how awesome this tv is for sports and movies. The color is unparalleled and the blacks are very deep. Motion is flawless and it's overall the best purchase I could've made. It's slim and sleek and looks fantastic in my living room! The features are also great and although the sound is ok but not great, no one buys a plasma for the sound. AWESOME TV and would recommend it to anyone! Why pay more for an LCD, this TV has to be tops on the market. Don't look any further than the Panasonic G15 Plasma.

Decided on the plasma over LCD because of the side angle viewing. Very happy with the Panasonic. Fantastic picture!!!
Beautiful Picture, Great Product
By jeffepops
from Los Angeles, CA
Would give it 5 stars, but have not spent enough time with it yet. Exactly what I hoped for in a Plasma TV. Bought and returned highly rated and much more expensive LCD TV of same size; plasma picture quality is far superior -- deep blacks, more filmic look. Watched "Waltz With Bashir" and was blown away by great color rendering; HD sports programming looks brilliant and crisp, no artifacts or pixilation. Only minor complaint is that remote control requires going into main menu to adjust picture from THX to standard, etc. No big deal. Also, Panasonic needs to establish relationship with Netflix for its Vieracast interface, not just Amazon.Note: TV Depth is actually a little over 3". The 2.1" measurement is at the top only. It will protrude a full 3" from wall plus mounting hardware depth. Still thinner than G10, and it cost me no more.

Phenomenal Quality
By waldo
from Nashville, TN
Why LCD's cost more to buy when they cost less to make doesn't concern me. This plasma sets the standards by which all others should be compared. The "Cadillac" of plasma televisions if you will. I have looked at other models by other brands and this is the one that kept drawing me (and my wife) back time and time again. Very pleased. :o)
Great TV for a greart price

About Me Power User
The TV is great once its calibrated in an approriate matter. The picture quality is amazing, and so are the features. Viera cast is nice, but still easier to use an xbox or a peripheral laptop to go online. The connectivity options are plenty and makes its easy for any video source to connect to.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gains from Adobe Systems Inc. stood out in the tech sector Friday, but losses from Apple Inc. and others kept tech stocks from launching any meaningful rally to end the week.
Apple AAPL, -0.04% shares fell almost 4%, to close at $509.79. Before the start of trading, UBS analyst Steven Milunovich cut his price target on Apple's stock to $700 a share from $780.
In a research note, Milunovich said he was taking a slightly more conservative view on Apple due to supply chain checks that suggest a decline in iPhone production in the March quarter of 2013, and that the new iPad Mini could be cannibalizing some sales of the iPad.
With Apple's losses leading the way, the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.25% fell more than 20 points, to close at 2.971. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.53% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index MSH, +0.30% also ended the day with losses.
VeriFone Systems Inc. PAY, -1.34% was another big decliner, falling almost 11%, to close at $29.60 after the payment-processing technology company reported a wider quarterly loss late Thursday.
Losses also came from Dell Inc. US:DELL Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.60% Seagate Technology STX, +1.47% and Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, +0.16%
Adobe ADBE, +0.49% shares rose almost 6%, to close at $37.56 after the software company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings after the close of trading on Thursday. Adobe earned 61 cents a share, excluding one-time items, on $1.15 billion in revenue, while analysts has forecast the company to earn 57 cents a share, on sales of $1.1 billion.
Groupon Inc. GRPN, +0.25% shares rose almost 3%, to end the day at $4.93, after earlier rising above $5 a share for the first time since Oct. 18.
Other gainers included Oracle Corp. ORCL, +0.33% IBM Corp. IBM, +0.24% Yahoo Inc. YHOO, +0.13% and Nvidia Corp. NVDA, +1.58%

Former Russian officer sentenced for part in Kaspersky kidnapping
Ex-Captain in Kremlin guards handed military porridge
A former captain in the Russian Federal Security Guard Service* has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison after he was convicted of involvement in the kidnapping Ivan Kaspersky, son of Kaspersky Lab founder Eugene, the Moscow Times reports.
Ivan Kaspersky was kidnapped in Moscow April 2011 by a gang who attempted to extort €3m from his parents for his safe return. The plot failed and the then 20 year-old student was recovered five days later without any bloodshed, following a police operation.
Alexei Ustimchuk was arrested along with his alleged partners but tried separately in a military court where he pleaded guilty to preparing the kidnap, buying three cars and numerous mobile phones to set up the failed operation. Pravda adds that defence lawyers argued Ustimchuk did not know the target of the intended kidnapping and supposedly thought it was an attempt to intimidate a debtor. Nonetheless he pleaded guilty to abduction and extortion.
Other suspects in the case are yet to stand trial. ®
*The organisation which provides bodyguards and other security for the Russian President and other high-ranking officials, as well as guard troops for important locations such as the Kremlin. In Soviet times it was part of the KGB.

There was some confusion on the web about the nationality of 10-year-old YouTube singing sensation Maria Aragon. While we clearly would love to claim the little girl who can out sing Lady Gaga, her YouTube bio info clearly identifies her as a Canadian Filipina. That got us thinking, do you ever assume someone is Latino based on last name alone?
Latina, Filipina, Canadian, American—either way girl can sing and her YouTube channel has some other covers you might like, including one Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are."

Steve Cohen of SAC Capital has concluded his interview session at the SALT Conference. For those who are not familiar with this conference, it features a keynote from George W. Bush and some of the biggest names in the financial world.
First of all, Cohen thinks that the commodities sell off last week created a good entry point to buy energy stocks that have exposure to natural gas and coal.
In a previous interview in February 2011, Steve Cohen revealed that his two top stock picks were Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB) and Plains Exploration (PXP).
In his latest SEC filing, Cohen's largest energy holding was Plains Exploration (PXP). With 9.03 million shares it comprised 2.35% of his portfolio. Cohen has previously disclosed that his fund owns Murphy Oil Corp. (MUR) that has a weighting of 0.52% in his portfolio. It will be interesting to see if Cohen has added to these two positions on the recent commodity pullback.
Currently he thinks that the market is experiencing a growth scare because QE2 is scheduled to end on June 30.
Cohen is not particularly concerned about the markets for the rest of 2011 because he sees growth at 4%. However, Cohen becomes cautious for 2012 because government aid programs will come to a stop.
The legendary hedge fund manager is also more focused on macro themes rather than stock picking. Cohen is now making big bets on currencies, interest rates and commodities.

This document describes the recommended coding style for kdepim. Nobody is forced to use this style, but to have consistent formatting of the source code files it is strongly recommended to make use of it.
In short: Kdepim coding style follows the Kdelibs coding style.
As discussed at the KDEPIM meeting, Berlin, 3 March 2013, all the files of KDEPIM will be reviewed to follow the coding style. This will be done over a long time, directory after directory, for each of the rules defined above. For each rule, one can find one or two script(s).
The first script is to check a single file or a complete directory for all .h and .cpp files.
If present, the second script makes the changes for a single file or a complete directory for all .h and .cpp files. For some complicated situations, the script makes no change.
One can use the scripts for own work.It is recommanded to use them in this order.
The output of the check script is:
check the file /home/guy-kde/projects/kdepimlibs/ktnef/ktnefparser.cpp 1->308: Tab at 16: stream_ >> i; // i <- attribute type & name 2->311: Tab at 16: stream_ >> i; // i <- data length 3->326: Tab at 22: case attATTACHMENT: // try to get attachment info 4->367: Tab at 16: stream_ >> u; // u <- checksum a b c d
This shows:
The change script makes a substitution of any <TAB> with eight spaces.
The change works for the complete source, even within comments and strings.
That might be too much and changes the vertical alignment of the code.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Baucus Issues Public Call To McKinsey To Come Clean On Controversial HCR Survey
Baucus' efforts will be reinforced by top Democrats on the three House committees -- Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, Education and Workforce -- with jurisdiction over health care reform, who will make similar demands of the consulting giant.
McKinsey stepped, perhaps unintentionally, into politically charged territory last week when it published the results of an in-house study on the impact health care reform will have on the employer-sponsored insurance market. The problem: The materials they used apparently did not meet the standards the firm would normally apply to such an issue -- and the results were wildly at odds with numerous other, more rigorous studies. That led to private infighting at McKinsey, and public pressure from the White House and congressional Democrats for their leaders to release the survey materials. Thus far they have declined to do so on the grounds that the survey is proprietary.
However, one insider told TPM that McKinsey would be loath to make those documents or the methodology public because they would embarrass the firm.
That doesn't satisfy Baucus. "The American Association for Public Opinion Research Disclosure Standards make clear that it is standard professional practice to release essential information on the methodology of publicly disclosed surveys," he writes in the letter. "I urge McKinsey & Company to publicly disclose the methodology behind its survey consistent with these standards."
We'll post the letter from House Dems when we get it.
Late update: Here's the letter from Reps. George Miller (D-CA), Henry Waxman (D-CA), Sander Levin (D-MI), Rob Andrews (D-NJ), Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Dingell (D-MI), Diana DeGette (D-CO), and John Lewis (D-GA).
June 16, 2011
Mr. Dominic Barton
Managing Director
McKinsey & Company
55 East 52nd Street
New York, NY 10022
Dear Mr. Barton:
Last week, McKinsey & Company released a new survey, "How U.S. Health Care Reform Will Affect Employee Benefits." The results of this survey were markedly different from the conclusions of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, and other credible studies or surveys conducted by respected entities including the Rand Corporation and The Urban Institute, all of which projected little change to the number of employers offering health coverage under health reform. However, in the year since the law was passed evidence suggests that the number of small employers offering health care is actually increasing.[1] Finally, the real world experience in Massachusetts also belies the McKinsey findings, as employers largely retained coverage when the state's health care reform law - which is similar to the Affordable Care Act - went into effect.
Indeed, the findings of this survey are so markedly out of sync with other assessments that it has raised legitimate questions about the product, including how and why it was created. The report itself states that McKinsey "educated respondents" about the implications of the Affordable Care Act, with no indication of the content of this "education." Anonymous sources in or close to McKinsey have pointed to potential flaws in or limitations to the study, including the fact that the survey was devised by McKinsey employees without expertise in health care policy.[2] One source noted that "this particular survey wasn't designed in a way that would allow it to be peer review published or cited academically."[3] Another source indicated that "the firm may have reached its outlying conclusions by basing its questions on the firm's own advice to clients on how best to arbitrage the new reforms," while a third stated that release of survey materials would "be damaging" to McKinsey.[4]
Even before these misgivings were made public, our offices and others have asked McKinsey for the survey instrument and methodology, only to be rebuffed and told that the information is "proprietary." This is mystifying, however, as it has also been confirmed by McKinsey staff that the survey was generated by McKinsey and not at the request of a client. Thus, the decision to release associated materials seems to be wholly within the purview of McKinsey.
Refusing to release the underlying questions and methodology undermines the credibility of the findings. We are concerned that, if the survey based its conclusions on a questionable instrument and potentially biased methodology, McKinsey may have provided the American public with invalid information about the impact of the Affordable Care Act.
We are therefore writing to obtain additional information that would allow interested parties to objectively assess the implications of the report's findings. We ask that you provide the following information:
1. A complete copy of the final study methodology and all drafts of the study methodology, including any information on how survey respondents were chosen, and complete scripts of all questions asked to employers surveyed by McKinsey or its contractor(s) as part of the study.
2. Results, in tabular form, of responses to questions asked as part of the survey, including results for questions that were not discussed in the publicly available report.
3. All documents related to education of respondents conducted by McKinsey or its agents as part of the survey, including any scripts or written materials used in this process.
4. Information on the demographics (size, location, and industry type) of all businesses contacted as part of the survey, and all businesses that responded to the survey.
5. The names, roles, and professional qualifications of the McKinsey analysts who developed and conducted the study and wrote the public report.
6. Information on the total cost of the study, any third parties that paid McKinsey to conduct the study, and the amount that these third parties paid for the study.
7. Information on any complete, on-going, or planned consulting work by McKinsey for survey respondents related to either the Affordable Care Act or to the recent study.
We understand that companies may have responded to the survey under the assumption that their individual responses would be kept confidential. We therefore wish to clarify that, with regard to questions 1-4, we are asking only for summary information and are not seeking the names or survey results of any individual survey respondent.
We ask that you provide us the requested information no later than July 5, 2011.

Writer-director Joshua Marston's strikingly confident debut maintains an unblinking focus and sustains an almost unbearable level of tension. Despite challenges of marketing a Spanish-language feature on a harsh subject, critical attention should elevate this drama into the prime specialized arena, with women likely to be especially responsive.
Looking beyond the sensationalized accounts of heroin trafficking to present one of the human stories beneath the surface, "Maria Full of Grace" focuses on a 17-year-old girl from rural Colombia, who drifts into an assignment as a drug mule. Writer-director Joshua Marston's strikingly confident debut maintains an unblinking focus and sustains an almost unbearable level of tension. Despite the challenges of marketing a Spanish-language feature on a harsh subject, critical attention should elevate this arresting drama into the prime specialized arena, with women likely to be especially responsive.
Coming from the same strand of HBO Films that hatched "Real Women Have Curves," "American Splendor" and "Elephant," Marston's skillfully executed film continues the cable net's impressive track record of developing boldly original low-budget features designed to play theatrically prior to broadcast. While no announcement was made before its Sundance premiere, "Maria" appears poised to be the next title channeled through the HBO/Fine Line distribution pact. Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno) is a quietly rebellious girl working a tedious job trimming stems in a rose plantation. Stuck in an uninspiring relationship with her loser boyfriend Juan (Wilson Guerrero), she is chained to her thankless job by a family that depends on her paycheck. However, micro-management from her supervisor prompts her suddenly to quit. At the same time she realizes she's pregnant. Refusing to beg for her job back or to marry Juan, Maria goes to Bogota to look for work as a maid. On the way, she meets Franklin (Jhon Alex Toro), an acquaintance who seduces her with talk of the easy money to be made as a mule, transporting drugs to the U.S. Franklin hooks her up with Javier (Jaime Osorio Gomez), a supplier who gives her a cash advance and explains what's required, downplaying the risk of arrest. She also meets Lucy (Giulied Lopez), a mule who gives Maria further pointers. Marston's non-judgmental script documents the circumstances and type of gritty determination that lead Maria to accept such a dangerous commission. She's never made to seem impressionable, easily led or driven by personal gain, but instead steps knowingly into the situation; it's a credit to the writer-director's insightfulness and to actress Moreno audience sympathy remains firmly on Maria's side. With admirable economy yet methodical detail, Marston outlines the process of ingesting scores of thumb-sized rubber pellets packed with heroin, and the dangers involved should one of them burst. Not since Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic" has the mechanics of the drug trade been so fascinatingly illustrated. The suspense is cranked up further when Maria boards the plane for New York, informed that failure to deliver the packages intact will have grave repercussions for her family. Traveling on the same flight are fellow mules Lucy, Maria's best friend Blanca (Yenny Paola Vega), and a fourth woman — increasing the chance of a successful consignment in the case one of the mules is apprehended. During the nail-biting plane journey, Lucy begins to feel ill, suggesting that a pellet has split open in her stomach. More nerve-wracking tension follows at U.S. customs; hauled in for questioning, Maria watches as the fourth mule is arrested, but narrowly avoids being x-rayed herself when the examining officers learn she's pregnant. The film's final stretch becomes more distressing still as the girls are sequestered in a New Jersey hotel room by unceremonious thugs while they expel the drugs. But Lucy's worsening condition causes brutal complications, prompting Maria and Blanca to flee. Marston closes the drama on a resonant note that, while by no means artificially upbeat, introduces an unforced sense of empowerment as Maria stands poised to take control of her future. The drama is superbly calibrated at every turn and never predictable. By turns chilling and emotional, its suspense is fueled by keeping its gaze trained squarely on what's at stake for the characters and by steadily upping the audience's emotional investment in them. Marston avoids any distracting directorial flourishes. His approach is all about control and subtlety, reflected in Anne McCabe and Lee Percy's clean editing and in accomplished d.p. Jim Denault's agile yet stunningly crisp and simple camera work. There's not a false moment in the performances, and Marston excels in the many scenes of intimate confrontation — not only in scenes of high tension but also in the early action, notably Maria and Juan's mutual admission that they are not in love. Moreno is solemn, calm and reserved but at the same time feisty in an understated way that befits the director's measured approach. Vega, as her spirited but less grounded friend Blanca, and Lopez as the more experienced but equally scared Lucy both make strong impressions. Associate producer Orlando Tobon appears in a role based on his position as unofficial "Mayor of Little Colombia" in Queens, New York, who has helped repatriate the bodies of drug mules who died while traveling to the U.S.Maria Full of Grace
