Community Tracking Study Household Survey, 1996-1997, and Followback Survey, 1997-1998: [United States] (ICPSR 2524)
Principal Investigator(s): Center for Studying Health System Change
This data collection comprises two components of the Community Tracking Study (CTS), the Household Survey and the Followback Survey. The CTS, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a national study designed to track changes in the health care system and their effects on care delivery and individuals. Central to the design of the CTS is its community focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. The Household Survey was administered to households in the 60 CTS sites and to a supplemental national sample of households. At the beginning of each interview, a household informant was identified and queried about the composition of the household. With this information, individuals in the household were grouped into family insurance units (FIU). An FIU reflects family groupings typically used by insurance carriers. It includes an adult household member, his or her spouse, if any, and any dependent children 0-17 years of age (or 18-22 years of age if a full-time student). Family informants, selected from each FIU in the household, provided information on health insurance coverage, health care use, usual source of care, and the general health of all persons in the FIU. These informants also provided information on family income and out-of-pocket expenses for health care, as well as employment, race, and Hispanic origin for all adult FIU members. Each adult in the household, including the FIU informants, responded through a self-response module to questions regarding unmet health care needs, patient trust, satisfaction with physician choice, limitations in daily activities, smoking behaviors, and last doctor visit. In FIUs with more than one child under 18, only one child was randomly selected for inclusion in the survey. The family informant responded on behalf of the child regarding unmet needs and satisfaction with physician choice. The adult family member who took this child to his or her last doctor visit responded to questions about the visit. The Followback Survey was designed to obtain detailed information on private health insurance coverage reported in the Household Survey. It was administered to health plans and other organizations that offered or administered the comprehensive private health insurance policies covering Household Survey respondents in the 60 CTS sites. Information on private health insurance policies collected by the Followback Survey includes product type, gatekeeping, consumer cost sharing, provider payment methods, and coverage of mental health and/or substance abuse services.

Household Survey: The CTS sites were selected using stratified sampling with probability proportional to population size. The supplemental sample, which was selected with stratified random sampling, was included in the survey to increase the precision of national estimates. Most households were selected using list-assisted random-digit dialing. In addition, area probability samples of housing units were selected in order to represent households without telephones or with intermittent telephone coverage.
Followback Survey: Health plans and other organizations that offered or administered private health insurance (generically referred to as "entities") were identified using the names of health insurance plans and employers that Household Survey respondents provided. These entities were asked to provide information on all of the private policies covering the 38,310 privately insured Household Survey respondents in the 60 CTS sites. Interviews were typically conducted with health plan marketing staff in order to determine the characteristics of the products that the entities offered, and then Household Survey respondents' policies were matched to these products.
Mode of Data Collection: mail questionnaire, telephone interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure.

INDIANAPOLIS - Columbia swimmers Katie Meili and Alena Kluge kicked-off their first day at the 2013 NCAA Swimming Championships on Thursday, March 21 at Indiana University Natatorium. The two teammates competed in the 200 IM with the preliminary sessions beginning at 11 a.m., followed by the finals at 7 p.m.
Meili has consistently ranked among the nation's best throughout the season in the 200IM and entered the prelims with a seventh-place seed time of 1:55.09. The senior posted a championship finals qualifying time of 1:55.45 with a fifth place finish in the heat. Hitting the wall in a school and Ivy League record time of 1:54.72 for a finals seventh place finish, Meili earned first team All-America honors in her first of three events in the 2013 NCAA Championships.
On Friday March 22, Meili is set to compete in the highly anticipated 100 breast event. A two-time 100 breast Ivy League champion and current conference time record holder in the event, she will line up with a fourth-place seed time of 58.44.
In her inaugural action at the NCAA Championships, Kluge also had a solid showing in the 200 IM. The Toronto, Canada native finished with her third best career time of 2:00.07 for 47th place in the prelims.
The reigning 400 IM Ivy League champion will return to the pool tomorrow to compete in her best event. Her career best and Ivy League title winning time of 4:11.89 currently ranks 37th nationally.

The imminent replacement of analog broadcasting by digital, growing demand from industrializing countries and the constant push for higher-and higher resolution television viewing paint a bright picture for the liquid crystal display (LCD) market, at least in the long term.
For the short term, however, things might be a bit more rocky. LCD makers anticipate a slowing in market growth in coming months due to the changing financial environment. But growth, albeit slower, is still positive for the indium industry. The metal is an operative element in the transparent conductive indium-tin oxide coatings that are essential to all LCDs, particularly since there's no viable substitute yet despite tons of research into alternative materials.
Sharp Corp., for example, saw its first-half 2008 sales to China alone near triple those of a year earlier, and the company expects strong results in other so-called BRIC—Brazil, Russia, India and China—countries as well. Is the LCD market maturing after several peaks over the past six years? Perhaps, but it's not there yet, according to Sharp. "We don't think the LCD TV market is matured," said a spokeswoman for the Osaka, Japan-based company.
Sharp continues to push for higher-resolution TVs, investing $3.8 billion in a 10th-generation plant in Osaka that's set to open in 2010. The company can technically produce 2,000- by 4,000-pixel displays, although the supporting broadcasting software doesn't exist yet. This resolution beats the 1080p format—also referred to as the progressive scan high-definition television (HDTV) format, Full HD, True HD and Ultra HD—which is the sharpest currently available on the market with a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels.
Developments are being closely watched by indium fabricators and alloyers because the amount of indium-tin oxide used in LCDs rises both with resolution and increased LCD output. An 800- by 600-pixel display, for example, requires 2.3 times more indium-tin oxide than a 640- by 320-pixel display, according to LG Display Co. Ltd., Seoul, South Korea.
"We do many studies keyed to reduce the number of parts in LCD panels to reduce costs," an LG spokesman said. "But ITO (indium-tin oxide) is such an essential part of the LCD that it cannot be replaced or reduced yet."
AU Optronics Corp. (AUO), Hsinchu, Taiwan, which worries about indium price volatility, has been tirelessly searching for alternatives to replace and reduce its dependency on indium, but the company has yet to find a viable substitute. Indium makes up about 86 percent of an indium-tin oxide coating, according to AUO, which currently holds more than a 50-percent share of the global mini-notebook panel market.
Traditionally, a rise in indium prices has been associated with higher LCD sales. In 2005, for example, indium prices peaked at $1,100 per kilogram in the free market, more than 11 times the $95-per-kg average seen in early 2002, according to AMM's price archives. That same year, the number of LCD TVs sold in the United States soared to about 4.2 million units, almost double the level of the previous year, according to Rey Roque, vice president of marketing at television maker Westinghouse Digital Electronics LLC, Sante Fe Springs, Calif.
Companies like LG have addressed higher component costs through innovative cost models that trimmed its LCD costs by 7 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter.
Meanwhile Sharp, AUO and others have been recycling indium to squeeze more performance life from the material. AUO also has been devoting resources to reducing product material weight, consequently reducing its indium-tin oxide utility levels. However, the company says it is satisfied with the quality and low price of its indium-tin oxide supplies.
AUO said that although indium has been difficult to acquire at times, the market is currently fully supplied, which is keeping prices relatively low.
Nevertheless, experience shows that indium prices are susceptible to volatility due to supply issues, especially given the current reduction in global zinc production—indium is a byproduct of zinc concentrate—as zinc prices continue to fall, AUO said.
Westinghouse Digital said that the cost for indium, because it's part of a blended cost of an LCD panel, can't be passed on to customers. However, it is able to recoup those costs in other ways, like selling the smaller LCD TVs that most American households can afford.
New broadcasting regulations also are expected to drive LCD sales. The federally mandated switch to digital from analog TV broadcasting on Feb. 17 sets the stage for large-scale sales of digitally compatible LCDs to replace the older analog cathode ray tube (CRT) devices. Sharp estimates that the global CRT TV and flat panel markets totaled 220 million units in 2008, with LCD TVs accounting for almost 44 percent, or 96 million units, leaving lots of room to grow. In 2007, total global TV demand was about 190 million units, with LCDs accounting for about 39 percent. "We do believe this (transition to LCDs) is something of a revolution," Nexgen said.
But lurking in the background are organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a potential LCD substitute that TV makers like Westinghouse would pursue if the technology becomes cost efficient. The OLED display doesn't require a backlight, which means it can be paper thin and flexible, and its picture quality is excellent. Indium-zinc oxide also is being researched as a replacement for indium-tin oxide in OLED displays for its smoother surface and reduced need for oxygen treatment, according to the OLED Association.
At the moment, OLEDs are still much too expensive for mass-market production, with Tokyo-based Sony Corp.'s 11-inch OLED TV, for example, costing $2,500. ANDREA NIEM

MONTREAL — The Kleinmann Family Foundation (KFF), which since 1995 has sponsored educational activities on the Holocaust and the dangers of prejudice, has turned its attention to the plight of the Roma.
With Concordia University, the KFF organized a day-long conference on Dec. 7, open free of charge to the public, titled "History Speaks: Do We Listen? Porrajmos and the Resurgence of 'Anti-Gypsy' Extremism."
Porrajmos is a Romani word meaning devouring or destruction and refers to Nazi Germany's attempted extermination of the Roma, pejoratively known as "Gypsies."
At the event's launch, held at the Goethe-Institut Montréal, a German government-sponsored cultural centre, the New Democrats' Canadian heritage critic, Tyrone Benskin, took aim at the federal government's recent reform of the refugee system.
Passed in June, Bill C-31 has been criticized by the Jewish community, among others, as likely to make it more difficult for persecuted people, in particular the Roma in Europe, to find asylum in Canada.
"Sadly, our own government, with Bill C-31, is hurting the people it is supposed to be protecting. Canada should be a leader in stamping out racism in all its forms," said Benskin, a Montreal MP for the Montreal riding of Jeanne-Le Ber.
Benskin, who is black, believes the legislation is "targeting" the Roma "because they do not fit in the box of the majority… We can't close our eyes to those who are vulnerable."
Benskin, who was first elected to Parliament in 2011, noted that Jews, Roma and blacks share a history of having been persecuted and murdered by the Nazis and of having been "regarded with fear," which led to prejudice.
Executive director Naomi Kramer said this was the first time the KFF had sponsored an event related to the Roma.
"The reason is that it is relevant in Canada, as it is worldwide. The Roma are having difficulty getting into Canada, because most come from Hungary and, as it is part of the European Union, they cannot be considered as refugees. Yet they are experiencing discrimination and violence that is impossible to live with."
The launch included remarks by German Consul General Walter Leuchs, who said the Roma persecution under the Nazis should be better known, and Sebastian Knotz, a young man from Austria currently serving as a Gedenkdiener, or Holocaust memorial intern, at the KFF.
Founded in 1991, the volunteer program is an acknowledgement of Austria's role in the Nazi genocide.
The event also heard a moving tribute to the memory of Gabrielle Tyrnauer, a Jewish refugee from Nazism and a pioneering scholar of Roma history, by colleague and friend Yehudi Lindeman, a retired McGill University professor and, like Tyrnauer, a child survivor of the Holocaust.
During the 1980s and '90s, Tyrnauer (1932-2004), a native of Vienna, recorded the oral testimonies of many Roma survivors of Nazi persecution and published reports for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, among others, on what was then a neglected subject.
On view was a digital exhibition of photos of modern-day Roma life in Romania taken by David Ward of Concordia a few years ago. Titled Marginal, with text by Salman Rushdie, the pictures depict the extreme poverty of a people living outside the mainstream, yet maintaining a strong family and cultural life.
Among the presenters at the conference, held at Concordia, were Ethel Brooks, a Romani-American scholar and feminist from Rutgers University; Ronald Lee, a Romani-Canadian journalist and author and chair of the Roma Community Centre in Toronto; Gina Csanyi-Robah, also a Romani-Canadian and executive director of the Roma Community Centre, who made representations to the Canadian government on behalf of the community during the hearings on Bill C-31; and Bosnian professor Hedina Tahriovic Sijercic, who is of Romani origin and an adviser to the Bosnian government.
The conference concluded with a screening of A People Uncounted the first feature-length documentary by Toronto-based filmmaker Aaron Yeger.
Filmed in 11 countries, it surveys the history and culture of the Roma, depicting them as a people both romanticized and vilified in popular culture.
Kramer said a second conference on the Roma is being planned for next year.
"The fate of Romani communities in many ways paralleled the fate of Jews during World War II," she said.
"With widespread support from the European population at large, which harboured social prejudice towards the Roma, they were singled out by the Nazis as 'racially inferior,' and sent to forced-labour and death camps," she said.
Historians estimate that about 500,000, or 25 per cent of European Roma, where annihilated, according to data cited by the KFF.
The KFF was founded by the late Peter Kleinmann, a Montreal businessman born in Munkacs, Hungary, who survived the Gross-Rosen, Flossenburg and Auschwitz camps. He frequently spoke to students about the Holocaust.

Malia Obama worked for Steven Spielberg last week as a production assistant on the Los Angeles set of Halle Berry's upcoming TV series "Extant."
A 15-year-old working for Spielberg? That must be some kid and certainly not one with a connection to someone who could make a phone call and turn Steven Spielberg's studio into a nuclear wasteland in an eyeblink.
Spielberg is producing the new CBS sci-fi series. President Obama's oldest daughter "helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take," a set source told TheWrap.
There are worse ways for a kid to spend summer vacation.
No details were available about when Malia -- who will be a high school junior in a few months -- went to California, or how long she'll stay. Her parents flew to California last Friday and spent the weekend with Malia in Palm Springs. Their other daughter, 13-year-old Sasha, wasn't with the family.
Maybe she was in New York, filming with Martin Scorsese.
In a New Yorker profile on the president in January, in was noted that Malia wants to be a filmmaker and is a fan of HBO's "Girls."

The next phase of the new Illinois open records adoption law went into effect this week. As of November 15th, adopted persons over the age of 21 who were born in Illinois on or after January 1, 1946 may now request a non-certified copy of their original birth certificate. Adopted persons born in Illinois prior to January 1, 1946 have been able to request their original birth certificates since the law went into effect in 2010. The law also makes provisions for surviving spouses and adult children of deceased adopted persons to make requests for the adopted person's original birth certificate.
The form for requesting the original birth certificates is available on the Illinois Department of Public Health's website at: http://www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/vital/pdf/MedInfo_Non_Cert_BC_Request_form.pdf
A good description of the law is available at: http://www.newillinoisadoptionlaw.com

DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke University men's soccer team opened its 2013 spring schedule with a convincing 3-0 win over Cincinnati on Sunday morning. The Blue Devils scored twice in the opening half and added a third score early in the second period to come away with the victory.
The Blue Devils dominated the majority of play throughout the 90 minutes. After some back and forth play early on, Duke got on the board when Luis Rendon finished a shot from 12 yards out to put the Blue Devils up 1-0.
Picking up momentum and continuing to maintain possession, it was sophomore Sean Davis striking next with a shot from 15 yards to past the Bearcat goalie and a 2-0 lead with just over 15 minutes to play in the opening 45 minutes.
Cincinnati, facing a two-goal deficit, started to push forward in the closing minutes of the first half, but could not capitalize on their chances. Freshman goaltender Chad Bush came off his line once to stymie a breakaway opportunity, while Sebastien Ibeagha and Nat Eggleston anchored the Blue Devils at center back.
Looking to put the game away for good in the second half, sophomore Nick Palodichuk had a fantastic finish after a stellar ball from Rob Dolot in the midfield. Palodichuk, who missed much of the 2012 campaign to injury, got loose on the left side of the penalty area and rifled a shot past the Cincinnati goalie.
Duke continued to control the run of play over the final 30 minutes. Cincinnati struggled to get into a rhythm in the second half, managing just a few shots overall.
The Blue Devils return to action Wednesday, April 10 against the Carolina Railhawks. Stay tuned to GoDuke.com for complete details this week.

NEW YORK - If you thought you saw Roar-ee the Lion on Friday, September 13, your eyes were not deceiving you! Roar-ee toured a number of social media and sports league offices in New York City to spread the word to #TURNITBLUE at our home football contests this season.
Roar-ee, 2013 Columbia Football captain Marcorus Garrett, senior offensive lineman Jimmy Yukevich and first-year wide receiver Cameron Dunn handed out pizza, t-shirts, bumper stickers, schedule magnets and posters to some of our favorite internet companies.
The tour started at Peek Analytics (@peekanalytics), a fantastic Twitter audience measurement/analytics company led by a Columbia Football season tickets holder Mike Hussey! (peekanalytics.com)
Then Roar-ee and friends trotted the two and half avenues to Zog Sports (@zogsports) home of New York's social sports leagues for young professionals (zogsports.com). Zog Sports had lots of ties to Columbia, including another frequent ticket purchaser, founder and CEO Rob Herzog!
The fun didn't stop there. The Columbia contingent went to the Bitly offices (@bitly)! Bitly is a URL shortening and bookmarking service. Bitly is the largest link-sharing platform on the web, with over 8 billion clicks on Bitly links each month, and 80 million new links created every day! (bitly.com)
Roar-ee finished the day at Amicus (@amicushq), a company that helps not-for-profit organizations connect with more donors. (amicushq.com). The Amicus headquarters were just blocks away from the famous San Gennaro festival in Little Italy, so Roar-ee stopped to see a few young fans and a couple of members of New York's Bravest – New York Fire Department.
Roar-ee plans to do another NYC tour in October. If you are interested in having Roar-ee visit your company offices, contact Daniel Spiegel, Assistant Athletics Director for Sports Marketing, at email@example.com.
Help us spread the word that this year Columbia Athletics will #TURNITBLUE at all of our home contests.
WEAR YOUR BLUE at this Saturday's football home opener vs. Monmouth at 12:30 PM! Get your tickets HERE.

- Niwot High wrestler, 17, faces felony charge; 'hit list' implied bomb threat
- Jan 12:
- Niwot High will reopen Monday, with law enforcement looking on
- Jan 11:
- Bomb-sniffing dogs clear Niwot High following threats, school likely to reopen Monday
- Bomb threat, discovery of "hit list" close Niwot High School
- Jan 10:
- Niwot High School closed until Monday after discovery of 'hit list'
BOULDER -- As classes resumed at Niwot High School on Monday morning, Boulder County Sheriff's investigators were still working to identify those who scrawled a bomb threat on a bathroom stall and left a "hit list" in the school last week.
The threats prompted school officials to cancel classes on Friday to allow law enforcement to search the school with officers and bomb sniffing dogs to make sure the building was safe.
Boulder County Sheriff's Office Cmdr. Rick Brough said on Monday that investigators are still interviewing students and following up on witnesses to try to identify the person or people who made the threat and the list, which a student found in the school and turned over to administrators on Thursday. The bomb threat found written in a bathroom stall had indicated the school would "blow on the 11th."
Anonymous tipsters are suggesting the names of possible suspects, Brough said, but investigators would have to link the scant physical evidence to the suspect to make an arrest. That may or may not happen, he said.
"That is kind of the difficulty in it,' Brough said.
He did say, however, that investigators have narrowed down a list of suspects as they continue to work on the case.
Two marked sheriff's office cars were parked in front of the school Monday morning. There was no other sign from the outside of a police presence at the school, and the parking lot was full.

Ang Lee on 'Life of Pi' :: Surviving at Sea (with a Crouching Tiger)
The barrage of 3-D films that we see in the theaters these days can be traced to the phenomenal success of James Cameron's "Avatar." Not only did it gross some $2.7 million worldwide, it also displayed a quantum leap in 3-D technology, creating a demand for films to be made in that process.
Yet, for the quantity of 3-D films that followed, few have yet to fully capitalize on the nature of the medium to immerse the audience in the film. In fact, only Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" rose to the level of "Avatar" in its mix of technology and artistry.
That all changes with the release this week of "Life of Pi," Ang Lee's visually intoxicating adaptation of Yann Martel's Man Booker Prize-winning novel. Already the recipient of incredible word-of-mouth, including praise by none other than Cameron, who told the Los Angeles Times that the film "breaks the paradigm that 3-D has to be some big, action fantasy spectacle, superhero movie."
"The movie is visually amazing, inventive, and it works on you in ways you're not really aware of," he continued. "It takes you on a journey, and unless you've read the book -- which I hadn't -- you have no idea where that journey is going. It does what good 3-D is supposed to do, which is, it allows you to forget you're watching a 3-D movie."
What makes the film so special, says Cameron, is that it is "a spiritual story." It is one that takes the viewer on an adventure involving a shipwreck, a teenage boy named Pi, a Bengal tiger, and the vast Pacific. For the bulk of the film, Pi is adrift in a life raft with only the tiger as his companion. To survive, he must make peace with the tiger (given the human name Richard Parker), as well as contend with the ocean that's both serenely beautiful and deeply dangerous.
The project stymied three other high-profile directors (M Night Shyamalan, Alfonso Cuaron and Jean-Pierre Jeunet), to the point that it was considered impossible to be filmed. Enter Ang Lee, the Taiwanese director, whose eclectic career ranges from social comedy ("The Wedding Banquet"), 19th century fiction ("Sense and Sensibility"), martial arts action ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), domestic drama ("The Ice Storm") and the modern western ("Brokeback Mountain," for which he won the Oscar for Best Director.) If he couldn't film it, no one could.
When I met the soft-spoken Lee three years ago, he was promoting "Taking Woodstock," a genial comedy/drama about a gay man, Elliot Tiber, who helped create 1969's Woodstock. At that time he told me that "Life of Pi" would be his next project, and, with the film, the promise of "Avatar" would be be unleashed. (To do that, Lee enlisted some of the same technical team that put together Cameron's film.)
His decision to film in 3-D was a bold one, not only because of its high budget ($70 million; "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only cost $17 million); but also because of the demands of time and technology could easily allow for the film's cost to balloon. ("Avatar" was budgeted at $237 million, but its final cost is said to be closer to $310 million.)
Filming "Life of Pi" was so daunting that, initially, Twentieth Century Fox turned Lee down. With no star power, save for Tobey Maguire who was hired to play the Canadian writer to whom the story is told, it appeared to be a project doomed to development hell. Fortunately, Fox's independent unit Searchlight Pictures green-lit the project, which was largely cast with unknown actors (including newcomer Suraj Sharma as the teenage Pi). As it neared completion, Lee made the daring move of taking Maguire out of the final print, deeming him "too jarringly recognizable." Instead British actor Rafe Spall (seen this past summer in another 3-D spectacular "Prometheus") took the role of the interviewer.
Even before it hits theaters this week (in 2-D and 3-D versions), Lee's gamble paid off, at least in buzz and enthusiastic reviews. Rated PG-13, the film is likely to reach as wide an audience as possible, appealing to children and adults alike in the tradition of the great adventure films. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter describes it as "an unusual example of anything-is-possible technology put at the service of a humanistic and intimate story rather than something that smacks of a manufactured product."
And A.O. Scott in the New York Times wrote the film "unfolds in a setting that is one of the great achievements of digital cinema, and a reminder that the eclectic Mr. Lee is, among other things, an exuberant and inventive visual artist. (In this respect it is an apt companion to 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' speaking of tigers.) There are images in 'Life of Pi' that are so beautiful, so surprising, so right that I hesitate to describe them. Suffice it to say that the simple, elemental facts of sky, sea and animal life are captured with sweetness and sublimity."
EDGE sat down with Ang Lee to learn how he made the thought-to-be unfilmable novel into one of the most anticipated adaptations of the year.
EDGE: Let's talk about the challenges in bringing Yann Martel's spiritual novel to life.
Ang Lee: The challenges have been tremendous. As this is a story about a boy drifting in the ocean, we have to simulate what happens in the sea. Water is the most uncontrollable element.
In the filming industry, we avoid working with children because they can be unreliable. We avoid working with animals, but there is a tiger, a hyena and many other animals. I already decided to shoot the film in 3-D. To me, 3-D is a new medium. I want to bring a certain freshness to the story.
Where to make the film? How to make the film? It was a difficult process so much so that I did not think that I could make the film in the United States because it would have been too expensive. I decided to make the film from scratch in my native home of Taiwan, creating a new way, a new concept to shoot the film.
This is an expensive film, so it has to be for a mainstream audience. However, the concept and the idea could also be rather abstract. How to tell the profound story in a simple way? This, to me, is the biggest challenge.
EDGE: It has been a long time since you last made a film in Taiwan. How do you feel about bringing your Hollywood experience back to your homeland?
Ang Lee: It was a very good feeling. The Hollywood system has its strengths but that comes with certain constraints which can be inflexible. So to combine the resources from Hollywood, that includes the capital, manpower, the knowledge and the experience, and bringing them to a new location to make the film, there is much more room for creativity.
However, this also comes with the process of re-adjustment, communication and struggles. So making the film in Taiwan is a great opportunity, especially for young filmmakers, they get to see and experience how a Hollywood film is made. I found all that I needed and assembled the film in Taiwan. I got to train local young filmmakers. It was an ideal combination and a great experience.
EDGE: I understand that you only managed to capture a fraction of what you have envisioned for the film.
Ang Lee: That is right. It is very typical when you are making a film. You imagine this is how you want the film to be but there is a gap between your ideal and reality. To narrow this difference, you also need to acknowledge that it is there, but the process of eliminating this gap can actually even inspire you with new ideas.
It is a very organic process. It is not a process where you reduce and trim from your idea in the beginning, while you are cutting down, you are adding new materials as well. Every film has a life of its own. You cannot force it. You have to listen to it. It will be different from what you thought in the beginning. This is also what makes it interesting.
EDGE: This is the first time you are working with 3-D technology. What is your learning process in using this technology to make 'Life of Pi?'
Ang Lee: It was a hard process. I do not mind hard work, but without a strong foundation in it can be terrifying. As 3-D is a new medium to me, both the audience and I may not be familiar with the technology and need to make our adjustments. While we are learning and adapting, there is a huge investment behind a 3-D project that comes with it, the psychological barrier is a big one to overcome. I needed to realign my expectations, not just as a student who is learning something new and expressing yourself through your work, you have to be responsible for its outcome as well.
You want the audience to like the film. Learning the technology is relatively simple. What is difficult is how you use this new medium as a way to express yourself in your artistic creation. You hope that the audience will accept what you do, how you use this technology and medium to express your thoughts, that is the most challenging of it all. There is no formula to it. You do it step by step, with some guidance from your audience. I feel that we are just at the infancy stage of this technology.
"Life of Pi" is in theaters.

The generosity of people in the Rock River Valley never ceases to amaze us. Times are tough, but you still manage to give to help those who are less fortunate.
That has been especially the case with the Rockford Register Star's Empty Stocking Club toy giveaway. A region mired in high unemployment and high poverty rates has many needs, and readers of the Register Star help as best they can.
The Register Star has sponsored the campaign for more than 30 years to make sure every child in need in Boone and Winnebago counties has at least one present to open on Christmas. Children also receive a pair of gloves or mittens.
Our readers make it happens through donations large and small. Little gifts can lead to big results. The campaign starts Sunday. We've inserted an envelope for your convenience that you can use to send your donation.
If you can't find the envelope, or you read us online, you can send your contribution to Empty Stocking Club c/o Associated Bank, 612 N. Main St., Rockford, IL 61103-6997.
Last year, skateboards, board games, dolls and other toys were distributed to 4,767 children, which was 124 more than the year before. We expect even more parents to sign up their children this year. There is a special registration from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 23 at Crusader Community Health, 1100 Broadway and Ken-Rock Community Center, 3218 11th St.
Other signup locations will be available Nov. 25 to Dec. 6.
The toy distribution will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Dec. 14 at Rockford Rescue Mission Hope Place, 715 W. State St.
We have an ambitious goal again — $60,000. Last year we fell a bit short, but still were able to deliver for the children.
We're off to a good start. Associated Bank has contributed $1,000 and also will provide volunteers to help with the toy giveaway.
The Register Star has continued the Empty Stocking tradition because it's the right thing to do. Our employees volunteer and make contributions of their own. It's one of the ways we try to give back to the community.
The smiles and genuine joy we see on the faces of the children as they get what may be their only Christmas present truly is precious. Help us create more smiles this year by donating to the Empty Stocking Club. Thank you.

Many would have been at least marginally on board with 100 minutes of celebrity cameos and screwball humor. That's how This Is the End was being sold, unsurprisingly: on its endless array of one-note celebrity appearances and the sort of pithy, naturalistic one liners for which this gang of Apatowlets has become famous. Another drug- and pop culture-infused high stakes comic adventure? Why not? Pineapple Express was enough of a good time to keep M.I.A. periodically in our heads for the years to follow. But This Is the End would prove, from the very first second of its opening shot, to be nothing like its Rogen and Goldberg-helmed predecessor.
Okay, not nothing. It's still got plenty of drugs, pop culture, and nutty gags. But that's not what it's about. Yes, this movie is actually, very adamantly, about something. And it's fascinating.
We realize that we're in for something unexpected when the movie introduces itself with a wordless, understated vantage point of Seth Rogen waiting humbly and uncomfortably in a Los Angeles airport. No over-the-top antics or goofy fantastical foreshadowing thrust upon us en media res to set the mood: instead, we're anchored way, way down to Earth as Seth reunites with lifelong pal Jay Baruchel, who is in town for the weekend. The moments to follow their gleeful embrace have the pair celebrating one another and their time together... a glee cut short when Seth introduces the idea of attending a party at James Franco's mansion that night.
Here's where the conflict comes in. Not a conflict developed simply to inject some character weight into a story about the apocalypse, but the actual central conflict of the movie. This, as we learn from an extensive, detailed conversation about Jay's aversion to Seth's Hollywood gang (which includes Franco, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinson), is a story about this group of friends. No, quite accesibly, the very nature of any group of friends.
Stuck in a house together after the apocalypse rains down upon the Earth (sinkholes and fires and good people ascending to heaven and demons and all that jazz, it's pretty heavy), Seth, Jay, Franco, Jonah, and Craig metaphorically exemplify the isolated structure of a social clique. Like your high school group, your college house, your work cronies, or the bunch of kids you met on Birthright, this group is an island. And in this self-contained society, no matter how sure of itself that it might be, there are inevitably going to be rifts.
Feelings of imbalance, losing touch, in-group fighting, and that one friend that nobody likes or trusts (embodied here by a scene-stealing Danny McBride, who shows up midway through the adventure to hike up the chaos) are all issues painted quite vividly by This Is the End, using the apocalyptic backdrop to represent the world-ending turmoils that accompany any cherished friend group. And, of course, using the brand of comedy for which these guys are known to make the story all that more engaging. While any one of us might have thought, ''Man, I'd love to write a movie about my group of friends,'' the thought always comes with a heavy-hearted realization that few people outside your group of friends would actually care all that much about them. But Rogen has the luxury of people very much caring about his friends. And so, they're the perfect gang through which this story might be told.
At the heart of the movie is Seth's relationship with Jay, the odd man out of the Hollywood clique, feeling overwhelmed by the eccentric Franco, intimidated by relative stranger Craig, and fully contemptuous in regards to the phony he considers Jonah to be. Seth, the group favorite, deals with the fissures, undertaking his own anxieties as the people around him turn on one another. Odds are, you've been someone in this situation. Odds are, one of the groups through which you've traversed have seen this type of calamity. Although we might consider our social circles to be

After three hours of debate on the Senate floor, cheers and applause arose from the gallery as House Bill 75 passed by a 12 to 9 vote. Living up to the promise that if the bill passed he would sign it, Gov. Jack Markell signed the bill into law less than an hour after the vote.
"I know that many of you here today and many up and down are state have waited years, in fact decades for this day to come," Markell said. "You may be wondering why we're doing this bill signing right now instead of a few days or a couple weeks from now and the reason is simple - I don't intend to make any of you wait one moment longer."
Before making it to the Senate, The bill previously passed the Delaware House of Representatives by a vote of 23 to 18.
Markell's signature made Delaware the 11thstate to legalize same-sex marriage.
"This is a clear signal to people across the country that Delaware is a welcome place where people are free to love whomever they choose to love," Markell said.
House Bill 75 has become law, but did not become so without a fight. The bill was hotly debated on the Senate floor by senators, members of the clergy and legal experts.
Anthony Wallace, pastor of Crossroads Christian Church in Dover was one of many who voiced his disagreement with the bill.
"A lot of people have cast this legislation in the same framework of the historic civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and quite frankly I think that's a front," Wallace said. "I think it's used to trigger responses mainly of emotion. I also think that comparisons made between people who are of some privilege, in comparison to an entire race of people, an entire generation of people who did not even see basic human necessities, I think is close to an atrocity."
In his testimony Father Leonard Klein of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington expressed the concern that marriage equality could have unintended consequences and might open the door for polygamists or those in open marriages.
"If marriage does not require two genders what arguments will you impose when advocates of polyamory or polygamy demand the right to marry whomever they choose, whomever they love?" he asked. "When you remove male and female from the definition of marriage all bets are off."
Jordan Lorence, senior counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom had concerns about the potential legal ramifications of the bill.
"This state bans marital status discrimination. By passing this bill you will be changing the definition of marital status. People who don't support this bill will be branded as bigots. If this is meant as a culture changing bill, those who believe in traditional marriage, defined as only one man and one woman, can only express that opinion with in four walls and not affect anybody else. If it goes anywhere else there are public accommodations laws already set that would come against them."
At the last moment, an attempt was made by Sen. Gerald Hocker (R-Oceanview) to table the bill, but the motion failed by the same margin that would later send the bill into the governor's hands.
Those who supported the bill spoke to the importance of equality. Mark Purpura, executive director of Equality Delaware, offered an explanation as to why civil unions will not suffice and why marriage equality is necessary.
"If we keep civil unions there is no chance that those couples in civil unions will ever have access to protections and benefits under federal law," Purpura said. "I think we're just looking for everyone to be treated equally under the law. We're looking for our state not to create a separate but unequal status based solely on sexual orientation."
He went on to point out that under the law no church official would be forced to perform marriage ceremonies that they did not agree with. However, a clerk of the peace or their deputy would be required to perform ceremonies, regardless of personal feeling, because they are civil servants and ran for election knowing the requirements of their jobs.
Sen. Karen Peterson (D-Stanton) added a personal touch to the debate when she publically came out for the first time.
"My partner Vicky and I have been together for 24 years," she said. "Neither of us chose to be gay any more than heterosexual people choose to be straight. We are what God made us. We don't need to be fixed we're not broken. We, like all other Americans, should have to right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and if my happiness somehow demeans or diminishes your marriage, then you need to work on your marriage. We are not seeking to redefine marriage. We are seeking to expand the definition of marriage."
For many couples in Delaware the signing of House Bill 75 into law meant the realization of lifelong dreams.
"I'm so ecstatic. This means that I can marry my girlfriend," said Callie Eros as she cried tears of joy in the Legislative Hall lobby.
"I was in shock. I didn't think it would pass," said Tiffany Savage. "I was excited, light-headed, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest. Now I'll have an equal opportunity and be able to be recognized."
Those who opposed the bill were less enthusiastic about the day's outcome.
"I wasn't surprised that it passed because of the overwhelming attitudes towards it," said Hendrix Dickens. "I disagreed with it. My stance is that I believe it took a mother and a father to produce a child, it should take a mother and a father to raise a child."
Under the provisions of the new law, same-sex couples can now be legally married and previously performed civil unions will be converted into marriages, effective July 1.

Sorry, what does "brah" mean?
Desmond has his barrow in the market place...Molly is the singer in a band...Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...Lala how the life goes on...Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...Lala how the life goes on.
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.
Look at my darwins. That's all that needs to be said. Just look. I'm saying this especially to the moderators.
they will always remain in a state of irritation and disappointment when I don't say what they want me to say
In other words they should do what they are telling me to do, which is to take responsibility.
they should use common sense and quit
...they will always remain in a state of irritation and disappointment when I don't say what they want me to say ... If I am not what they want me to be, and they aren't succeeding in getting me to say or be what they want, they should use common sense and quit...
I'm being asked to quote what people have said and demonstrate that it's undiplomatic.
I'll do it. Go ahead and start a thread for me and ILY. Can you arrange so that only we (and you and the mods) can post in it? It's just that I wouldn't want there to be any silly distractions getting in the way.
But I'd like to know why you want to do this. What are your reasons?
Do you not believe that diplomacy works? Do you think it's going to be a failure?
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
NoticeEnter these threads at your own risk. Do not read or participate in these threads if you dislike harsh language and/or insults.

but simply to point out what tends to go on here.
By the way let's not forget that just because someone is outnumbered, that it means they're wrong.
And let's not disregard the fact that some people have decided to not come here much these days for the very reasons I've talked about. And guess what, they got a battering for expressing their views.
So when someone tells me that the fact that I'm outnumbered is a sign that I'm in the wrong
I've been treated appallingly here
I think I'm doing great.
which leaves me in little doubt that I'm doing well.
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
Why do you insist on asking me why I'm here?

A new trailer for Battlefield 4 follows the recent mini-tease with an actual tease, as the clip runs a full 20 seconds (break out the popcorn) and concludes with word once again to expect the full version of this trailer on March 27th. In the meantime the clip shows a ship's propeller spinning up, which goes with the trailer's title, "Prepare 4 Battle: Sea," to further suggest the next installment in DICE's military series will feature an increased emphasis on naval combat.

Boring movie titles may not lure audiences into theaters, but they are luring users on Twitter. The #dullermovies thread challenges tweeters to pick an enticing film title and deflate it. People have come up with must-not-see films such as Ferris Bueller Goes to School and I Speculate On What You Did Last Summer. A couple of our favorites are collected below.
And we invite you to share your #dullermovie titles in the comments.
A movie's name can help lure an audience into a theater, but what if the name is not enticing? In fact, what if it's boring? Well, there's a thread on Twitter called "duller movies," and it challenges people to pick a film title and then deflate it. For example...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce."
SIEGEL: Here's another one, a Scandinavian thriller starring a young woman who wants to look tough but still be able to wash off the evidence.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: "The Girl with the Stick-on Tattoo."
SIEGEL: Then there's the duller movie title that transports us to a promised construction project that no one wants to visit.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: "Back to the Future Site of the Vice Presidential Library."
SIEGEL: And how about this, a stirring Steven Spielberg epic of penny-pinching.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: "Saving Private Ryan Money on his Car Insurance."
SIEGEL: And coming to theaters near you no time soon, Raymond Chandler's soft-bitten detective who nods off.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: "The Little Nap."
SIEGEL: Then, this summer blockbuster. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's an alloy.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: "Man of Composite Metals."
SIEGEL: Something airline passengers long for in an age of cutbacks.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: "Snacks on a Plane."
SIEGEL: And to round out our duller movie title suggestions, a story that James Fennimore Cooper forgot to tell.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: "The Penultimate Mohican."
SIEGEL: A roundup of duller movies, a hashtag on Twitter. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The third season of "Downton Abbey" ends this Sunday with a bang.
Exactly what that bang is, we're not going to say, in deference to the maybe half-dozen "Downton" fans who still don't know the shocking truth.
The larger point remains that after Sunday's "Masterpiece Classic" (airing at 9 p.m. Eastern on PBS), viewers must suffer "Downton" withdrawal until next season.
But until then, we'll have our memories.
And what a season this has been! The beloved valet Mr. Bates was sprung from jail and a trumped-up murder charge to begin married life with his bride, the plucky lady's maid Anna. Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, has gotten Downton Abbey back on its feet financially with an able assist from his son-in-law and presumptive heir, Matthew Crawley. Matthew wed his true love, Lady Mary Crawley. But another of Robert's daughters, Lady Sybil, died tragically during childbirth.
Through it all, Robert's mother Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham (played by the sublimely scene-stealing, Emmy- and Golden-Globe-winning Maggie Smith) delivered a barrage of withering, hilarious rejoinders to virtually every narrative twist.
"I remember my very first scene with her in Season One," says Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert, lord of the manor. "She's complaining about the new electric lights, and suddenly she put her fan up to her face to shield herself from 'the glare,' and spent the entire scene like that. It was so funny, and I was just, 'All right! There's no point in my even being here. She's just marched off with the scene!'"
Now, as then, "Downton" is a plush, penetrating peek into the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their household servants in an English castle of a century ago. With a cast that also includes Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Dan Stevens, Jim Carter and Brendan Coyle, the series this season has drawn an average 11 million viewers each week while spurring another surge of "Downton"-mania, even from first lady Michelle Obama, who pulled strings to get episodes of the new season before it premiered.
"Downton" has even been parsed for its political underpinnings. Last month, Fox News host (and native Brit) Stuart Varney declared that "Downton" celebrates rich people, who "in America today are reviled. They're dismissed as fat cats who don't pay their fair share." Yet on "Downton" the rich people are "generous," "nice," "classy" and "they've got style," he said, "which poses a threat to the left, doesn't it?"
It is rare when public television is accused of threatening left-wing orthodoxy, especially on "Fox & Friends" (whose co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade voiced surprise at learning the show isn't called "Downtown Abbey"). But "Downton" has a way of engaging people, both the 99 per cent and the 1 per cent alike.
And, yes, as the wealthy, patriarchal Lord Grantham, Bonneville does indeed exude classiness and, at crucial moments, generosity.
But that's not the whole picture. Robert Crawley is also confounded by the modern world of post-World War I as it upsets the social hierarchy. Meanwhile, despite his indulgence of underbutler Thomas Barrow's shame (it seems Thomas is gay!), Robert isn't always the most tolerant of men.
"I don't want thumbscrews or the rack, but there always seems to be something of Johnny Foreigner about the Catholics," he sniffs to one of his kind during an exchange about religion.
"I don't think I'd have a huge amount in common with Robert if I met him at a dinner party," Bonneville says. "But I like the guy. I like the fact that while he does bluster and he's pompous sometimes, and he makes mistakes, there's a decency and a love for his family underneath it all."
Impeccably clad in a three-piece grey suit and pink tie for this recent interview, the 49-year-old Bonneville, even firmly planted in a 21st-century Manhattan hotel, looks to the manor born. Nonetheless, he brands himself a member of the British middle class — the son of a surgeon and a nurse who once imagined becoming a lawyer — and his roles have strayed some distance from the lofty likes of Robert Crawley. For instance, Bonneville has been affable and bumbling in "Notting Hill" and "Mansfield Park," and downright villainous in "The Commander."
And coinciding with his "Downton" duties, he also played the addled Head of Deliverance for the Olympics commission in "Twenty Twelve," a riotous BBC miniseries that spoofed preparations for the London Olympics.
"There are people who think I've been doing nothing for 25 years, and then suddenly I get this role on 'Downton Abbey,'" Bonneville says with a laugh. "But I've had a really lovely time for 25 years! I've played everything from Shakespeare to sitcoms to period dramas to modern serial killers. I consider myself a character actor, and I do love playing different instruments in the orchestra when I get the chance."
Of course, Bonneville realizes that "Downton" is a good bet for the lead citation in his obituary. He has finally acknowledged it: This show is a cultural phenomenon, not just a fleeting fad. And he has many theories why.
First, the savory writing by series creator Julian Fellowes. Besides, the cast is splendid. The production values are luxurious. And the premise remains rich with possibility.
"This is one of the few settings, alongside a hospital and a police station, where you can legitimately find a real cross-section of society under one roof," notes Bonneville. "But underneath it all, this series is about romance rather than sex, it's about tension rather than violence, and it's about family — both the literal family and the staff as family. It explores the minutiae of those social structures, the nuances of the system as to whether someone's in or out."
Not that he would want to be part of it. He doesn't sentimentalize that long-ago era any more than "Downton" does. And yet …
"These days," says Bonneville, "we have relationships that are forged, consummated and brought to an end within 24 hours. Back then, the pace of life was slower, and I think we like to breathe out and enjoy that world — albeit for only an hour or so, on a Sunday night."
Just one more Sunday night, for now.

Luther kept its hopes alive for at least a share of the Iowa Conference regular season schedule thanks to a 1-0 victory over Central this afternoon.
Lucas Beato scored his first collegiate goal in the 64th minute, a shot to the upper right hand corner of the Central net. Logan Martell (4), who had just entered the match assisted on the play.
The Norse applied pressure on the Dutch the entire second half and if not for the efforts of goalkeeper Tim Maggard, the Norse could have blown this match wide open. Maggard turned away four point-blank shots in the second half en route to his six saves for the afternoon.
Tommy Breen picked up the shutout, his third of the season, turning away both shots he faced.
The win gives Luther a league record of 5-1, 12-5 overall. Central fell to 2-4 in league play, 9-7-1 overall.
This coming Tuesday, Oct. 29, Luther travels to league leading Wartburg College. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. No matter what happens in the match between Wartburg and Simpson this afternoon, the Norse need to defeat the Knights on Tuesday, to secure at least a share of the regular season conference title.
