WARNER'S DVD Decision 2006
For the past few years Warner Home Video and Amazon.com have teamed up on a worthwhile promotion called "DVD Decision," inviting Amazon shoppers to vote on which of 30 films nominated by the studio should be released on DVD. The results of this year's vote have now started to appear, with five titles appearing on Dec. 5 and five more set for release on Jan. 30.
The playing field isn't quite a level one. Among the nominees this year were such dubious achievements as Brian De Palma's strenuously unfunny farce "Get to Know Your Rabbit" (1972); Mervyn LeRoy's 1943 biopic "Madame Curie," in which Greer Garson imagines what it might have been like to discover radium while living underwater; and "Sphinx," a minor 1981 imperialist adventure from the gifted filmmaker Franklin J. Schaffner ("Patton," "Islands in the Stream").
Film buffs are certainly an eccentric lot, as I can personally attest, but somehow I suspect that the Warner nominees are based less on pent-up demand from video consumers than on which films with good negatives the company still has sitting around.
This year's winners are as wacky a group as ever, ranging from the high camp, pseudo-kung fu of Robert Clouse's 1985 "Gymkata" to Michael Crichton's pulpy "Looker" of 1981. And "Madame Curie," thanks to some voting bloc of hard-core movie masochists, has also made the cut. (All three of these titles will be released on Jan. 30.)
But there are some significant rediscoveries in there as well, led by Joseph L. Mankiewicz's rarely seen comic western "There Was a Crooked Man ...," first released to little mainstream attention in 1970.
Mankiewicz is best known for his (sometimes excessively) erudite screenplays, for films like "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949) and "All About Eve" (1950), both of which he also directed. But my favorite Mankiewicz film is one on which he did not take a writing credit, the dazzlingly cynical spy story "Five Fingers" (1952) with James Mason as a Nazi spy posing as a valet for a British ambassador.Continue reading the main story
Is there any more Mankiewiczian moment than Danielle Darrieux, as a refugee Polish countess, explaining her flight from her ancestral home: "Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way."
Mankiewicz's next-to-last film, "There Was a Crooked Man ..." was written by the hot young screenwriting team of David Newman and Robert Benton, who squeezed it in between "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) and "What's Up, Doc?" (1972). Like its creative team, the film seems to bridge two generations: on one hand, it's a stately vehicle for aging stars Henry Fonda and Kirk Douglas; on the other, it's a punkish parody of a classical western with a distinct tomato-sauce flavor inherited from Sergio Leone's contemporary spaghetti westerns, set in a satirical West of dirt, dust and desperation.
Mr. Douglas is a rakish highwayman who is sent to jail for stealing $500,000 from the safe of a not-so-respectable businessman (Arthur O'Connell); Fonda, drawing on the two great figures of moral rectitude he created with John Ford, the title character of "Young Mr. Lincoln" and the Wyatt Earp of "My Darling Clementine," is a straight-arrow sheriff who takes over the notoriously inhuman desert prison that Mr. Douglas has been sent to, hoping to transform the downtrodden, dehumanized inmates into useful members of society by allowing them to build their own dining hall.
Mankiewicz, shooting uncharacteristically but effectively in a wide-screen format, sets these two old lions against each other and watches them as they slowly circle. The reversals may be predictable, but they are executed with elegance and impeccable timing, and the picture happily builds to a sense of complete moral anarchy.
Judy Garland cultists will be delighted with "Presenting Lily Mars," an overlooked 1943 MGM musical from her awkward transitional stage, from child star to female lead. In this Norman Taurog film from a Booth Tarkington novel, she's a stagestruck kid from one of MGM's mythical Midwestern Edens who makes the acquaintance of a passing playwright, Van Heflin (marked as an intellectual by his glasses and pipe), and proceeds to drive him crazy until he a) makes her the star of his big Broadway review, and b) falls hopelessly in love with her.
This black-and-white film was subject to wartime constraints, though one of them is no longer visible: the grand finale, a rousingly patriotic number intended to sell war bonds to patrons leaving the theater, was deemed too depressing by preview audiences, and replaced with a hasty restaging of the MGM chestnut "Broadway Melody." But Warner Home Video, with its usual diligence, has rescued the audio from the cut number, "Paging Mr. Greenbacks," and offers it here as an extra.
Jack Smight's 1969 "Illustrated Man," adapted from the book by Ray Bradbury, reflects some of the counterculture values of the year of its making, with its incense-flavored story of a carnival worker (Rod Steiger, wearing Rock Hudson's hair) whose tattoos have the power to reveal the future to those who look upon them, though judging from the white plastic furniture and Nehru suits that dominate the mise-en-scène, the future does not extend much beyond 1974.
Rounding out the selection are a couple of World War II adventures, "Up Periscope" (directed by Gordon Douglas, 1959), with a young James Garner as a Navy frogman who bumps up against a by-the-book submarine commander (Edmund O'Brien), and Michael Anderson's 1965 "Operation Crossbow," a ripping yarn from MGM's British studios in which George Peppard singlehandedly destroys the Nazi rocket research facility at Peenemunde. The art direction of the underground installation powerfully suggests Ken Adam's work for the James Bond series (did Thomas Pynchon see this during his research for "Gravity's Rainbow"?), as does the extent and callousness of the violence.
Coming at the end of January: "The Arrangement" (directed by Elia Kazan, 1969) and "Band of Angels" (Raoul Walsh, 1957), as well as "Gymkata," "Looker," and "Madame Curie." In addition Amazon is offering two exclusives: the Lucille Ball musical "Best Foot Forward" (directed by Edward Buzzell, 1943), available now; and the baseball fantasy "Angels in the Outfield" (directed by Clarence Brown, 1951), available Jan. 30. The list price for all titles is $19.97. "Operation Crossbow" is rated PG-13; the other films have not been rated.

2.3 Objective conditions and subjective definitions
Activity 4
Reread the story about the three baseball umpires, which you'll find on page 11 of 'What do we mean by "Constructive social work"? [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] '
After you have read the story again, read the three paragraphs following it which include a quote from Fuller and Myers (1941), about objective conditions and subjective definitions. Think about what you have read and draft answers to the following questions:
How would you describe the differences between the three umpires in terms of their 'world view' (or how they see things) in calling balls and strikes?
If they were three social workers discussing how they 'see problems', what difference might this make to their practice?
If social work was practised according to the first or second type of approach used by the umpires what might be the likely result?
What are the implications of the third approach for social work practitioners' power?
In what ways were you persuaded (or not!) by the distinction between objective conditions and subjective definitions?
Did this distinction help to further explain the difference between the three umpires?
Do you think that the existence of 'problems' is self-evident – or does it depend, as the authors argue, on someone claiming or asserting that a problem exists?
What are the implications for social workers' practice in general and your practice in particular?
When you have drafted your answers to these questions, you may wish to share them using the Comments section below. You will also be able to see the comments from others studying this course and can, if you wish, post further comments agreeing or disagreeing with them. Your developing thoughts will contribute towards an online group debate about the different views and responses to what you have read.
The story demonstrates three different ways of approaching practice; the first assumes that what we see and hear is not interpreted by us, or filtered by our assumptions – that what we see is the way things 'really are'. The second accepts that reality appears only as we, or rather 'I', see it, that is, only through my own perceptions and prejudices or 'constructs'. The third approach recognises the importance of our own constructs of reality but, in addition, accepts that there is power in our social positions. In other words, we can use our position within social situations to 'call' and thereby create and define an interpretation of what has happened.
What it is crucial to understand is the power of the role that certain people play within certain situations. In baseball, cricket or football, the umpire or referee enforces the rules of the game. Although many people may have contributed to creating the rules, the person who interprets them has power as a result of their position. The rules of the game may have been socially created and constructed from many different sources but they are open to interpretation and professional judgement.
Social work practice shares some similarities with this scenario – but it also has some important differences. The 'rules' concerning services and interactions between social workers and service users have been constructed socially via agency and government policy. Nevertheless, these rules have to be put into practice by the social worker interacting with service user(s) and colleagues, often over long periods of time. However, absolute split-second decisions do not have to be made by social workers acting alone! So, in implementing 'the rules of the game' social workers can see these rules as:
more or less fixed, permanent and outside their control
as a matter for their discretion and judgement only
as a social process that they and the service user are part of, and over which they have significant influence, but not full control – however, neither does anyone else!
In our view, if social work is practised according to the first or second approaches it is likely that partnership with service users will fail because the service will be bureaucratic and impersonal, or idiosyncratic and judgemental.
In effect, practising the first two approaches would undermine Glaister's pillars of practice, as discussed in Activity 1.
The quote from Fuller and Myers which follows the story makes a key philosophical distinction with profound professional practice implications. There are 'objective conditions' in all social work situations, about which disagreement is unlikely. For example, there is no bed for a child; no heating in an elderly person's house; a family has no money. In addition, and overlaying these conditions, there are also 'subjective definitions' of situations through which everyone, including social workers, assigns meanings, values, judgements and assessments.
The objective absence of bed, heating or money may clearly be a priority problem in given situations. However, there is an equal possibility that it may not be assessed as a problem, or not one necessarily requiring social work intervention, when a range of other information about specific circumstances and possible future actions are negotiated or taken into account.
To pursue these examples: the parents may be happy for the child to sleep with them until a bed can be found; the elderly person may prefer to wear more clothing rather than spend money on heating; the family may have friends or relatives who are willing and able to help. This key distinction between objective conditions and subjective definitions is crucial to understanding the 'constructive' approach to social work practice.

Ahh! I am currently on a plane. Yes…a plane~ and I am completely panicking because I do not like planes. My poor fiancé, he walks out with scratches and nail marks all down his arm because of how terrified I get. Today was a very emotional day. I had to leave my puppy at a PetHotel. I was so devastated that I couldn't even walk her in. Wesley had to take her in while I cried {yes….boo hoo cried} in the car. It has been sooo emotional.
Today marks the first day of something new! Today marks the first day as "Try It Thursday!!" Let's talk about the W's. C'mon teachers! You know the W's.
Who? Me, you, and everyone who wants to try something new.
What? It's a chance to try new things in your life.
Where? At the luxury of your OWN home.
When? Well~ we will start out posting every Thursday. Hopefully other teachers will link up with me and want to try something new as well.
Why? {Why in the world did I start this? As a teacher, a woman, a puppy mommy, a fiancé and a thousand other things I could fit under that title ~ I decided to make sure that I try something new all of the time. As I write this, my fiance says ~ "what about food? Try some new foods!" bahaha nooo thank you! I started this because as a new teacher, I am always scared to step out of my box. Now I have NO excuse not to push myself. Hopefully this will push you to do things you were worried about.
Let's show you what the first thing we tried!!
This week is Star Student of the Week. I know…sounds babyish but in facts~ our students need this type of love. They need someone to show that they truly love them and care for them. As I looked on Pinterest, I realized that no one really has a step by step process of what their Star Student of the Week consists of. This week will be the first Try This Thursday.
First I went to Target and spent a whopping 15¢ on a red folder.
Then I took out a black Sharpie and had my way with the folder. I
decorated {not gorgeous} the front of the folder. It says {wanna guess?} STAR STUDENT OF THE WEEK!
On the inside of the folder, I created a very nice Congratulations for the student who won the Student of the Week. This allows the student to see a personalized note from me.
Inside a plastic sleeve, I placed a letter to the student and the parent to inform them of what is expected as the Star Student. {They are not getting off that easy.} The week will be all about them. They will have something to do every day.
Inside the folder will be the "Read All About Me" Poster. Of course, the first week will be all about me so that the kids know who I am. They will also see how it works.
The folder will be located inside a bag. The bag is from Target and it has Dr. Seuss characters on it. Inside the bag will be markers and colored pencils. This will help them color the "All About Me" poster.
Now, I didn't just leave it at the folder. I kept going. I made them a Star Goody Bag. I went to the dollar store and bought a ton of "stuff" for the bag. I put sharpeners, erasers, a pencil, a book mark and a dinosaur grow toy. I spent $8.00 on the entire goody bag. They are allowed to keep this bag of goodies.
The folder, the markers, the colored pencils, the goody bag, and the poster will all be located inside the folder.
Here are some basic questions that I have been asked previously…
How do you pick your Star Student?
To be quite honest…I don't pick the Star. My kids do. My kids know to look out for people being extremely nice and helpful. To be on the lookout for people using nice words or helping people who have had mean words thrown their way. I have my students write who they chose and WHY they chose them. It cannot be just because they are their friend.
What do the days looks like?
Monday – Sharing bag. They take home a brown bag and share some of their favorite things from home.
Tuesday- They share the All About Me Poster.
Wednesday- Bring a favorite book {Usually, I will read it to the class}
Thursday- 20 questions. They students who are not the star get to ask 20 questions to the Star.
Friday- The students make a book or a card and compliment the students.
I do try {I don't always get it right} but I try to make it during the week of their birthday. It makes them feel wayyy better.
Don't you have other awards?
I do have other awards. I have a reading award and a math award that I do every Friday. I usually base this off who has made the most amount of progress and Fasttmath and Reading Counts {or Accelerated Reader}.
I hope this has helped you create an awesome Star Student of the Week. If you create something, try to link it back to me so I can see all of your creative ideas. 🙂
If you want the document to be sent to you, then leave a comment and I will send it as fast as I can. I can also personalize the name for you when I send it. I do not send it in a word document because then things become altered, so if you would like me to include your name, then please leave it in the comment box.
Thank you so much for reading my first Try This, Thursday. I cannot wait for more posts.
Happy shopping and Happy Pinning.

The 190 metre long bridge is part of the He Ara Kotahi shared pathway and bridge project, which will link the city with Massey University and the Linton Military camp.
The four span bridge design concept, based on the karaka tree, was revealed at a community meeting at the Riverdale School Hall last night.
"The idea behind the concept is a tree falling across the river forming a bridge. This makes reference to the nearby karaka grove and its significance to Rangitāne, says project steering group chair Ray Swadel.
The canopy and branches of the karaka are on the northern bank off Dittmer Drive.
"The northern bank compliments the Esplanade and other nearby reserves. There are plant beds and a tall art installation representing a 'pou' or sentry. There is a shared space for picnics; even a site for a coffee cart," Mr Swadel says.
He says the trunk of the karaka is the bridge itself. It features three viewing decks and posts carved inwards and outwards representing the bough, branches and – at the southern bank – the roots and base of the tree.
The bridge would be vertically curved. It would be about a metre higher in the centre when compared to the two ends.
The two piers of the bridge would feature stylised karaka leaf patterns like branches dangling in the river. On the southern bank, another pou would be installed and a plant bed.
Mr Swadel says a location for the bridge is close to being finalised.
"After looking carefully at various locations within a 400 metre zone off Dittmer Drive, our consultants Opus International believe the preferred option for the site of the bridge is near Ruha Street.
"Compared to other options they considered, a bridge at this site would have a lower profile, minimising its visual impact on local residences. There is off-street parking and scope for more on site. There is also plenty of room to plant out the northern gateway of the bridge, which would become one of its standout features."
A section of the stopbank would need to be altered with the approval of Horizons Regional Council.
"Last night, we asked those who attended the meeting about their views of the concept. People also suggested their own ideas. We'll consider all of them ahead of presenting the steering group's report to Council on our preferred bridge site on 1 August.
"If approved, we'll then need to obtain consents and finalise the design. There will be plenty more opportunities for the community to have their say on the project along the way," Mr Swadel says.
He Ara Kotahi is a partnership between Horizons Regional Council, Massey University, the Palmerston North City Council, and the New Zealand Army at Linton, the New Zealand Transport Agency and Rangitāne.
The $10m project is part of the government's $333m Urban Cycleways Programme. It has received $3m from this programme and $3.2 from the National Land Transport Fund.
Design concept revealed for He Ara Kotahi pedestrian and cycle bridge
A design concept has been revealed for the new pedestrian and cycle bridge across the Manawatū River.
The 190 metre long bridge is part of the He Ara Kotahi shared pathway and bridge project, which will link the city with Massey University and the Linton Military camp.

Ah, wine temperature. Is it ever right? And at some point in the evening, do you even care? I don't really. I've tasted so many whites at room temperature, which is a good way to do it because flaws are easily hidden behind a chill.
And it's true, wines that are too warm do show too much alcohol, but that might be because there's too much alcohol to begin with.
Giving me wine gifts is an easy call, but of the ones I have, I only really use those jackets you put in the freezer that will chill a bottle of white in enough time for dinner. Those are also great for picnics to keep the sparkling wine cold.
This product seems to be that in reverse, which might make sense because glass is an insulator and working from the center of the bottle to the outside might be more efficient. But the jackets seem to cover more surface area. It seems this might be more of a keep-it-cold rather than a chill-it down-product, but it sure looks cool. And has a cool name, the corkcicle.

In October of 2012 Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast causing more than $50 billion in damage. To commemorate Sandy and to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and living sustainably, we created a music video with photos and video of the storm and relief effort, including a timeline of events and powerful quotes.

Lucas: Ten Things You Should Do At The ACC Tournament
The region's favorite springtime holiday allegedly starts today, although we all know the ACC Tournament doesn't really start until Friday. Beginning with the Les Robinson Invitational in 1992, the ACC has tried to convince us we should try to care about Thursday games, even briefly experimenting with a bizarre format in which the 1 seed played on Thursday and then got a bye to the semifinals after their completely boring win over the 9 seed.
With the league due to expand next year, and the direction of the tournament uncertain after 2015, this may be one of your last opportunities to experience the ACC Tournament as many longtime fans remember it. Here are 10 things you definitely need to do at the ACC Tournament before it moves to Madison Square Garden, Philips Arena or the Staples Center:
1. Watch on a TV wheeled into your classroom. There was a very easy way to tell the cool teachers at Farmington Woods Elementary, Apex Middle and Apex High: they were the ones who let us watch the noon games of the ACC Tournament while we were in class. Sometimes they tried to pretend they were relating it to our lesson ("Let's use math to determine Kenny Smith's field goal percentage"), and other times they quit the charade and just let us watch and root for our favorite teams. A generation of ACC fans was solidified this way.
This morning, I asked our kids if their teachers were going to let them watch. "I don't think so," our daughter said. "We have to have a certain number of instruction hours."
Thanks a lot, public schools.
By the way, if you don't know what "a TV wheeled into your classroom" looks like, then you didn't go to school in the 1980s or early 1990s. Kids, it used to be that TVs weren't in every classroom, and teachers had to sign them out from the media center. They were rolled out of the library and to the classroom on a giant black cart. Walking into the classroom on ACC Tournament Friday and being greeted by that giant cart with the behemoth television sitting on top was a sure sign it was going to be a good day.
2. Write your kids an excuse note. If you need to circumvent the mean teachers and/or unaccommodating public school system, just pretend your kids are sick. My parents did it for 12 years, and I turned out just fi...well, that's probably not a good example. I never once had perfect attendance in school, because I always missed the Friday of the ACC Tournament. When I returned to school on Monday, I'd have a note from my parents indicating that I'd been afflicted with a terrible illness, but that I appeared to be on the road to recovery.
The smart teachers were never fooled. My freshman year of high school, my brilliant English teacher, Mrs. Whitaker, looked at me on Thursday before the ACC Tournament and said, "Adam, I can tell by looking at you that you might be feeling sick tomorrow. I'm thinking you may not be at school Friday." She was right.
3. Cheer for an underdog. This was perhaps more applicable in the old days, when fans knew the players and head coach on every opposing school, so it was easy to tell who was the hero and who was the villain. Bobby Cremins, for example, was always hard to cheer against. Lefty Driesell, on the other hand, was a ton of fun to watch on the sideline and even more fun to root against. By age eight, I had perfected the "Lefty stomp" and the "Lefty choke sign" in the stands.
One of the most vocal ACC Tournament crowds ever was in the 1992 ACC Tournament, when Florida State was eliminated in the semifinals by Carolina. It was the first year in the league for the brash Seminoles, and they weren't very likable. I vividly remember Tar Heel fans--and even a few Duke and NC State fans--saluting the Seminoles with a special variation of the tomahawk chop in the final seconds of Carolina's 80-76 win.
4. Buy tickets from fans of a losing team. This requires a delicate balancing act. If it's Friday and you're looking for tickets to Saturday's sessions, it's relatively easy to secure tickets from a Clemson or Wake Forest fan, who probably didn't expect to stay the whole weekend anyway and just wants to get rid of their tickets and get home. It's tougher with an angry Duke (or Carolina) fan who just suffered an upset. Use caution.
5. Sit in the arena all day on Friday and watch every minute of every game. I used to make my dad do this. Clemson-Florida State? Yes, we will be there. Virginia-Wake Forest? Absolutely. Remember, the alternative was being in school.
6. Eat at Stamey's between Friday sessions. This requires careful planning. You don't want to wimp out and leave the 2 p.m. game early. But you also don't want to be late getting back for the 7 p.m. game. Be ready to leave as soon as the buzzer sounds and you should have time to get to Stamey's, eat some barbecue, and still get back in time for tipoff.
7. Tailgate between sessions. I think this started at the Charlotte Coliseum (not the old Charlotte Coliseum, but the one better-known as The Hive). Getting out of the Coliseum parking lots was an epic disaster, and it was built in an era before anyone realized that it would be a good idea to build arenas nearby other things people actually needed, such as restaurants. So the Coliseum was located in the middle of absolutely nothing. Tired of fighting the crowds getting in and out of the parking lots, fans began bringing elaborate tailgating setups, and would spend the between-sessions interlude sitting in the parking lot and enjoying their tailgate.
8. Have a fire, a wreck and a robbery. Our family used to treat the ACC Tournament as a pseudo-family reunion. Grandparents, aunts and uncles would all go, and (usually) the ladies would go shopping while the guys would go to the games. In one particular tournament, the following happened:
1. The fire alarm went off at our hotel, forcing everyone into the parking lot in the middle of the night. 2. Another fan ran into our car after the Friday afternoon game, hopped out, surveyed the damage (which he had caused), proclaimed, "I'm satisfied," and drove off. 3. Upon returning to the arena for the evening games, my grandfather had a headache. We had no ladies with us and thus, no Tylenol. My uncle went to the concession stand to ask a worker if she had any Tylenol (this was in a different era, when asking food service workers for drugs was totally acceptable). She said yes, and we eagerly thanked the good Samaritan. And then she said, "I'll only charge you $2 apiece."
When the day was recapped to my mother, it was described this way: "It started out fine, until we had the fire, the wreck and the robbery."
9. Yell at someone in the parking lot. Duke has a cheer to which the punch line is, "We're going to beat the hell out of YOU!" and when they say, "YOU!" they point at the opposing team. Well, you can imagine how old that could get (and also how scandalous it seemed to an eight-year-old when I first heard it). In 1991, after Carolina had throttled the Blue Devils, 96-74, in the championship game (Christian Laettner got a technical foul and it was awesome), we were sitting in Charlotte Coliseum traffic (see above) with my aunt and uncle. Still riding high from the victory, my uncle spotted a car a little ahead with several Duke bumper stickers.
As we nosed next to that car, he motioned that they should roll down their window. The clueless Blue Devil fans did so, allowing my uncle to joyously shout, "We just beat the hell out of YOU!" complete with a point out the window at the Duke fans.
It was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. Also, I have no idea how I turned out the way I did.
10. Drive home on Sunday while filling out your NCAA bracket. When the tournament was in Charlotte, it was virtually impossible to go to the championship game, get out of the parking lot and still get home in time for the NCAA Tournament selection show. Every Sunday morning, we would save the Charlotte Observer, which would always include a blank bracket. After the title game, we'd search the radio dial for a station carrying either the Tar Heel Sports Network or Wolfpack Sports Network coverage of the selection show (in my memory, the THSN sometimes stayed on the air straight through the selection show, but can that be right?). We'd pencil in the seeds and then spend the final hour of the drive going over the matchups and picking our potential upsets.
What other ACC Tournament must-dos would you add to the list?
Follow Adam on Twitter.
Kevin BaggsGo to the hotel of your team and send them off before each game.
Bryan WilliamsLove it! Especially #1. I was trying to impart exactly the same thing to a young basketball fan the other day and this sums it up precisely...outstanding.
GGPRI've only been once for the ACC tournament but have been to a few NCAA first and second round games in Greensboro. For the men: mentally rank other schools' cheerleaders and dance squads. Cheer when bands play unexpected rock/pop/hip hop songs. Buy a souvenir program and cup. Yeah, it's expensive. Listen to the Tar Heel Sports Network during or in between games.
Fritz SmithActually the "new" Charlotte Coliseum was built on Tyvola Road because the city owned the property. Any one who was around Charlotte in the mid 1980s when this decision was made KNEW this was a bad idea because there was nothing around it. We screamed for an uptown arena but to no avail.
AndrewWe will definitely watch the tournament in my classroom this afternoon, my teachers did it for me, and I want to keep that alive
CourtneyAwesome article! Brought back tons of memories, especially those black tv carts rolling in. I was lucky enough to get called out of school early Friday morning to make the trek from Charlotte to G'boro in time for the noon game most years. So excited to be in the big game tomorrow!

WPP chief executive Martin Sorrell has expressed concern at Google's increasing might in the advertising sector following the search giant's £1.5bn purchase of DoubleClick.
London-based WPP is the world's second-largest advertising group, but, after reporting a 0.7% drop in turnover on Friday, Sorrell told Reuters: "It raises some issues for us."
"It raises issues as to whether we are happy to let Google have our client's data and our own data which Google could use for its own purposes in contextual and targeted advertising."
Sorrell warned estimates showed Google would control 83% of the contextual ad market.
He said WPP's Google spend increased from $150m to $200m in the last year but said Google "is a short-term friend and a long-term enemy".
WPP is not the only competitor of either firm to have voiced concerns over the acquisition.
But perhaps the biggest threat to the deal could come from regulators now that online liberties groups have filed objections.
A posse led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on Friday lodged a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission and sought an injunction, claiming the buyout would break limits on the amount of data advertisers can collect on consumers.
"Google's proposed acquisition of DoubleClick will give one company access to more information about the internet activities of consumers than any other company in the world," the complaint says.
DoubleClick denied Google would unite the two companies' various data collections.

Defenseman Nurse recovering from finger surgeryby Mike G. Morreale
TORONTO -- Sault Ste. Marie defenseman Darnell Nurse said he was just as surprised as everyone else when informed he would need surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his left ring finger at the end of the season.
Nurse said he was playing with his injured finger throughout most of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs. Following his team's six-game series loss to the Owen Sound Attack in the opening round, during which Nurse had one goal, four points and six penalty minutes, he was advised to have surgery performed, and did so in early April.
"I was playing in the playoffs with it and all of sudden the season was over and I couldn't play for Canada at the World Under-18 Championship because I needed surgery," Nurse told NHL.com. "It was disappointing because I wanted to keep playing hockey whether with the Greyhounds or the U-18's. But now I'm almost at the point where I'm at 100 percent, and I looked at it as better to get it done now before it gets any worse."
Nurse is joining 100 other 2013 NHL D\raft-eligible hopefuls from North America and Europe at this week's NHL Scouting Combine. Though he won't be participating in the fitness phase of the event as a result of the surgery, the 6-foot-3.5, 185-pound left-shot defenseman has plenty of team interviews with NHL scouts and general managers to keep him occupied through Thursday.
"The biggest thing for me is the fact this is the first time I'm meeting a majority of [NHL scouts and GM's], so it's first impressions and we know how big those are," he said. "I just want to show them the type of person I am, and give answers that are honest and genuine."
Nurse is ranked No. 4 on NHL Central Scouting's final list of the top North American skaters, and the second-best defender behind No. 1 Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks. Nurse produced career highs across the board in his second season with the Greyhounds: 12 goals, 29 assists, 41 points, a plus-15 rating and 116 penalty minutes.
"Recovering from an injury is a real test of patience," he said. "You don't want to push it too hard and no one is really letting me push it too hard. Anyone who is a competitor wants to get in the gym and work as hard as they can right away. But with an injury like this, you have to take your time. Even though the finger is a small part of the body, you don't want to suffer a setback and create even more damage.
"So while waiting until you're 100 percent is probably the hardest thing, it is the right thing."

This is the 1Hz clock generator circuit with Chip On Board (COB). Commonly, the circuits to produce 1Hz clock for digital clock and counter circuits applications implement ICs in conjunction with a crystal and trimmer capacitors, etc. Even so, equivalent or improved accuracy could be obtained working with a chip-on-board (COB) device found inside a digital clock, that is readily offered in the marketplace. This COB includes IC, capacitors and quartz crystal, etc that are installed on its surface. It operates on 1.4 volt DC supply. This COB could be utilized to get 1Hz clock.
Resistor R1, capacitor C3, diodes D1 and D2 shown in the circuit change 5V DC into 1.4V DC. A ?Hz clock is accessible at terminals A and B with a phase variation of 90o. The two outputs, are put together making use of capacitors C1 and C2 to acquire a complete 1Hz clock. This 1Hz clock pulse features a extremely low amplitude of the order of a few milli-volts which can't be utilized to drive the digital circuits instantly. This low-level voltage is amplified several times by operational amplifier (op-amp) IC CA3140.
The op-amp CA3140 is connected in a non-inverting mode, and its gain is set by resistors R4 and R3. Capacitor C2 minimizes the AC gain and undesired stray pick-up and thus increases stability of the circuit.
The input impedance of IC CA3140 is extremely high and thus there is absolutely no drop at the input when 1Hz clock signal of low level is connected across its input terminals from the COB. Amplified 1Hz clock pulse is accessible at its output pin 6, that is further amplified by transistors T1 and T2 to drive the digital clocks and timers.
Preset VR1 is offset null control utilized to adjust accurate 1Hz pulse at the output terminal "E". Connect one LED in series with 220-ohm resistor between the terminal "E" and ground and alter preset VR1 till the LED blinks once every second. When utilizing the COB, affix the same on a general-purpose PCB working with rubber based adhesive and solder the terminals neatly making use of thin single-strand wire.
Note: The COBs utilized in different watches may differ somewhat in their settings. But by trial-and error one can always find out the proper points corresponding to points A, B, C and D.

There are in total six elements of a design : the line, the shape, the color, the texture, the value and the space.
- The line : The lines can be long, red, straight, thin, blue, dashed, short, black or curved, they are all into the same category.
- Textures: Texture styles include paper, stone, concrete, brick, fabric and natural elements, among flat or smooth colors. Textures can also be subtle or pronounced and can be used sparingly or liberally. They work with pretty much everything.
- color : The most powerful visual impact at a single glance.
- Value: It specify dark or light design.
- Space : The space is definitely present in the top. It can turn a design to your advantage and get the best out of your layout.
Gleam Technologies provides web design which incorporates with different areas includes one of them is web graphic design with different expertise for the purpose of production and maintenance of website.

The lesson began with a discussion about what a good sport looks and acts like. We made a list and the students had all the right "pat" answers (i.e., agree on the rules before you play, pick equal teams, congratulate the winner, don't brag if you win, etc). We also discussed what to do when someone seems to be cheating or not following the rules; students were genuinely surprised at the concept that others may not KNOW the rules and need to be taught, as opposed to automatically accusing them of cheating.
Then I announced that the class would be playing a game with absolutely no interference from the adults in the room (caveat: I would step in if things became too hurtful, which is not always true when they play games at recess or in their neighborhoods). I chose Heads Up Seven Up because most students were familiar with it, but other group games could work as well. Then I stepped back and let them work it out on their own for about 15 minutes. It was interesting to watch the differences between classes. Some classes had a natural leader or two, others worked together to talk it out, and still others consistently argued and struggled for control. I really appreciated how students tried to consider the concepts we had discussed at the beginning of the lesson as they played.
For the last 5-7 minutes, we discussed how the game had gone. I asked if they thought the game was fair, then fun, and why. Many said that they wished a teacher would step in and fix things, so we talked about how they can be empowered to solve the issues on their own. Students came up with some areas they could still improve in, such as how to pick teams fairly and how to deal with students who seemed to be cheating, which we can address in future lessons. I really enjoyed this lesson because I felt that students were fully engaged and appreciated such practical, "real life" learning, and I learned a great deal about the interpersonal dynamics of students when they are not in the classroom setting. Fascinating stuff!

Forget shares, invest in whisky?
With the FTSE 100 falling below 6,000 yesterday, middle class investors everwhere ar up in arms at the fall in value of so-called 'blue chip' companies. But as some of the more recent 'big names' to lose a lot of value, such as Tesco, have proven, no company is immune from the effects of the stick market. So, if you happen to have some spare cash, and you don't want it to earn practically no interest in a bank, could investing in whisky be the thing for you?
Of course, slightly alternative investments have been around for a while, and those so inclined could store their money in dusty old bottles of wine or huge and unsightly artworks as they saw fit. Certain other markets, however, have been limited to instutional investors- huge funds with even huger piles of cash to invest meaning each transaction would be similarly massive- and retail investors, as most individuals are considered, have been left out in the cold. The market does seem to be changing though-this time last year, the Royal Mint jumped into the retail market, allowing ordinary folks to buy bullion in person-sized holdings, later refining their offering to permit people to buy a mere piece of a gold bar as well as various gold and silver coinage- you can now invest in precious metals from as little as £20.
Now some bright spark has done the same thing with whisky. The idea is relatively simple- the distillers make the golden liquid that will, after years of proper sitting around in barrels, become that glorious malt people pay lots of money for. However, making this pre-whisky costs quite a bit, and if we're talking about serious single malts, it could be over a decade until the distiller gets a return on that money. So instead, investors (through a set up like WhiskyInvestDirect) buy the pre-whisky from the producer, who still actually keeps the stuff and charges for its storage, and then sells it back to the distillery before bottling and onward sale. Note that the major consumers of Scotch are not actually the Scotch- it (almost) all goes out to emerging markets, with over 90% is exported to the likes of China and Russia, as well as Nigeria, Venezuela, Turkey and other growing economies.
The investment works in terms of buying Litres of Pure Alcohol (LPA) and you can invest now if you like- current opportunities include one, two and three year old whiskies from Ardmore, Blair Athol, Glen Spey, Inchgower and five other distilleries, with most labels owned by firms like Diageo.
Prices start at £2.70 per LPA, and the WhiskyInvestDirect promises that "new stock lines are offered at less than a 2pc mark-up." But note that, as with many things, while you can get in if you're a small drinker, the cost of that tipple might be prohibitively high owing to the costs. You can buy just one LPA but trading costs are 1.75%of the value either selling or buying but topped with storage costs of £0.15 per litre per year - but with a £3 per month minimum.
But is it a good investment? While any investment has some element of risk, and past performance is no indiciation of future returns, this type of asset class has no retail investment history to look back upon. Nevertheless, the website now offering whisky boasts of a 13.5% annual return, netted down to 9.5% after charges on an 8 year malt sold annually between 2005 and 2014 . But this depends on having an 8 year malt to sell every year, i.e you've invested every year. If you dig a little deeper and look at selling after eight years, figures from the Telegraph show that the level of return depends on when you sell, and selling in the early 2000's would have given you a negative return- maxing out in 2005 with a loss of around 20%. Selling in 2014, however, would have doubled your money. Still, as investments go, whisky might have an advantage over the stock market- if it all goes belly up, at least you'll have something to drink...

Angeline Trivieri
1924 - 2018
Memorial Mass
Obituary of Angeline Trivieri
Angeline "Linda" Trivieri, 93, passed away with her family by her side on April, 15, 2018 at The Grand in Rome.
She was born in Utica on October 21, 1924, a daughter of the late Angelo and Palma (Talarico) Astalfa. She grew up in Utica and attended Thomas R. Proctor High School. On May 21, 1949, she was united in marriage to Orlando "Lefty" Trivieri, who affectionately called her "Angie". The couple raised their family in East Utica and moved to Westmoreland in 2001. They shared 54 years of marriage until Lefty's passing on December 16, 2003. Linda was a devoted and loving wife, mother and Nana. She had hard-working and talented hands that crafted everything with love. She was always busy cooking and baking and often sewed clothes for her family. She retired in 1986 from Mills Factory in Utica. Linda and Lefty could be found dancing the Jitterbug in the living room or sharing fun times together. In her later years, Linda was a member of the Westlanders and enjoyed their companionship, friendship and fun.
She is survived by her three children, Gail Trivieri of Westmoreland, Carmen and Dee Trivieri of Eugene, OR and Tammy and Jim Kimball of Westmoreland; three beloved grandchildren, Briana and Dylan Kimball of Westmoreland and Angelica Trivieri of Eugene, OR; two cherished great-grandsons, Kyle Williams and Andrew Severe; her sister Julia Spina of Utica; and many nieces, nephews and their families. She was predeceased by her husband; and her sisters and brothers, Teresa Cognetti, Mary Ruffo, Rose Barone, Joseph Astalfa, Albert Astalfa and Anthony Astalfa.
Services will be held at 10am Saturday, June 9, 2018 at Church of the Annunciation in Clark Mills with burial in Westmoreland Cemetery.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nagi El-Khoury and his staff who have taken care of "Angie" for many, many years and a special thank you to the rehab staff at The Grand, Kim, Karen and Jennifer, as well as the nurses and aides that cared for her during her stay there and became like family.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Linda's memory to the American Diabetes Association.

Without being pretentious I think I can say you are lucky that you've found this website. I wish I found something like this 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with Crohn's.
Yes, you've read it right; my IBS (diarrhea) was so bad that the first doctor thought it was Crohn's disease! Luckily I'm a person who likes to research and come to my own conclusions so I started reading tons and tons of articles about Crohn's, celiac disease and finally irritable bowel syndrome. It took me a lot of time and pain but when I figured out I probably have IBS instead of Crohn's I went for a second opinion and a different doctor said I do in fact have IBS.
After 2 years of researching, many supplements, trial and error and a lot of money spent, I found three supplements that work together to diminish the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Cure is maybe too big of a word because currently there is no way to actually cure IBS with one magic pill but if the symptoms are gone, the IBS is gone, and these supplements will do just that. Follow the next three steps and you'll be symptom free in a week:
1. Acidophilus Pearls
Probiotics are good bacteria found in healthy intestines that help digest food and make the stool more regular - just what an IBS sufferer needs – regularity! Only one pearl is enough for a day. It's best taken in the morning on an empty stomach.
2. Pepogest (Peppermint Oil)
For centuries peppermint has been traditionally used for gastrointestinal upset, cramps, gas and nausea. Menthol-rich essential oil found in peppermint leaves soothes occasional disruptions in the bowel. For IBS diarrhea patients it will slow down bowel movements and for IBS constipation patients it will make digested food move faster out of the bowel by relaxing the bowel lining. It says on the box that you should take it an hour before a meal but for me the results were MUCH better when taken just before the meal.
3. Psyllium Husk Caps
Psyllium husk is a natural source of soluble fiber that has the ability to swell up to 50 times its initial volume when added to liquid. It soaks up fluid in your intestines and forms a bulky gel. This bulking action can play an important role in maintaining regularity and gastrointestinal health. For IBS-D patients it will obviously make the stool less watery and for IBS-C patients it will reduce transit time and make you go to the toilet more often. This is taken before or in the middle of a meal, with a glass of fluid.
Each of these supplements will make an impact that you will notice just after a few days of using it but they work best together. Acidophilus pearls will improve digestion and make you more regular, Pepogest will free you of cramps and relax your bowel and psyllium husk will improve regularity regardless of whether you have IBS-C or IBS-D.
If you're depressed or stuck to your house because of IBS symptoms, try this. I totally sympathize with people who have IBS because I've been through all of that. Running to the toilet 3-4 times a day, worrying if I'll make it to school without shi**ing my pants, having unbearable cramps, gas and bloating... It's a tough life, and it doesn't have to be that way. That's why I made this website.
Edited to add, Calcium Carbonate:
A couple of months ago I discovered that some people with IBS are helped by calcium carbonate. Seemed weird to me, but I tried it and it's one of the best supplements for my IBS. I have normal solid stools now! I don't really know HOW it works but half a gram of calcium carbonate at the start of a meal, with food, helps tremendously. It works for about 2-3 hours and then you take another one and eat. If I do it after 4-5 hours I may have digestive problems, so I'm guessing the previous dose helps the next meal.
Anyway, the link is bellow, probably won't help everyone but it's worth trying! If it helps you'll know it in a day and you'll be happy. Notice: It has to be calcium carbonate, not citrate or any other!
