Teenage actress Abigail Breslin has been given a huge boost as she carves out a new career as a solo singer - one of her new songs will appear on the soundtrack to her forthcoming film Final Girl.
The Little Miss Sunshine star, 16, reveals she is hoping to share her new material with fans in the next couple of months, but one track she penned has already been picked up for the thriller, the directorial debut of celebrity photographer Tyler Shields.
She says, "I've always loved music... I've been writing and recording... I actually have a song that I wrote that's going into a movie that I did called Final Girl... It's very exciting."
Breslin previously dabbled in music by forming a band with a gal pal after learning to play the guitar for her role in 2010 drama Janie Jones.

"Is Unix dead? My answer is no, it's not dead. As a matter of fact, I think I hear it laughing on its way to the bank. Fewer Unix systems are being shipped, but they're commanding a higher premium than ever. Unix still represents a $2 billion [EUR 1.7 billion] market, the largest operating-system market by far. Despite Windows Server recent gains, it still represents about $1.6 billion [EUR 1.3 billion], when you're looking at operating system-only revenues. And Linux in terms of revenues represents one-tenth of what the good, gray Unixes combined represent. Granted the future belongs to Linux, but as a $2 billion market, is Unix dead?"

What is SMARA?
Who administers SMARA at the State level?
What is Mined-Land Reclamation?
Who is subject to SMARA?
What is the application of SMARA to mines on Federal Lands?
How is SMARA implemented?
When can mining begin?
What is the role of the SMARA lead agency?
What is the roll of the mining operator?
What types of financial assurance can be used to guarantee reclamation?
What happens if an agency does not have a certified ordinance?
Who should I contact for more information?
SMARA is an acronym for the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975. SMARA was enacted by the California Legislature to address the need for a continuing supply of mineral resources, and to prevent or minimize the negative impacts of surface mining to public health, property and the environment.
The Department of Conservation's Division of Mine Reclamation (DMR) and the
State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) are jointly charged with ensuring proper administration of the Act's requirements. The SMGB promulgates regulations to clarify and interpret the Act's provisions, and also serves as a policy and appeals board. The DMR provides an ongoing technical assistance program for lead agencies and operators, maintains a database of mine locations and operational information statewide, and is responsible for compliance related matters.
The process of reclamation includes maintaining water and air quality, minimizing flooding, erosion and damage to wildlife and aquatic habitats caused by surface mining. The final step in this process is often topsoil replacement and revegetation with suitable plant species.
The following are examples of successful reclamation projects:
One mining company in Ventura County reclaimed its mining pit to a strawberry field.
A gravel extraction area at Mississippi Bar in Sacramento County was returned to a riparian (water) wildlife habitat.
An aggregate mine on agricultural land in Yolo County operates in four phases. The intent is that not more than 95 acres is out of agricultural production at any time during the project's life.
Other mined lands have been reclaimed to grazing and production of crops such as alfalfa, corn, grapes and tomatoes.
The Act's requirements apply to anyone, including government agencies, engaged in surface mining operations in California (including those on federally managed lands) which disturb more than one acre or remove more than 1,000 cubic yards of material. This includes, but is not limited to: prospecting and exploratory activities, dredging and quarrying, streambed skimming, borrow pitting, and the stockpiling of mined materials.
By way of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Conservation, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), have agreed that the statutes and regulations of SMARA are applicable to lands regulated by BLM and the USFS. Under the terms of the agreement, the local lead agency remains the lead agency and has the main responsibility to enforce the requirements of SMARA.
The lead agency works cooperatively with the federal agencies to assure that the requirements of the local ordinances, state statutes and regulations and federal requirements are met.
Lead agency status cannot be delegated to the federal agency.
The local lead agency must require and approve (after review by the Department of Conservation) a reclamation plan and financial assurances. (Lead agencies may accept operation plans, reclamation plans and environmental studies that meet BLM and USFS, provided they meet the requirements of SMARA.)
The financial assurances must be payable to the appropriate federal agency, as well as to the lead agency and the Department of Conservation.
The local lead agency retains responsibility for annual inspections.
For the mine operator:
Mining claims with the appropriate federal agency, and claim maintenance fees are still required.
Mine operators are still required to submit annual reports and annual reporting fees to the Department of Conservation.
City and county "lead agencies" adopt ordinances for land use permitting and reclamation procedures which provide the regulatory framework under which local mining and reclamation activities are conducted. The State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) reviews these lead agency ordinances to determine whether each ordinance meets or exceeds the California surface mining and reclamation procedures established pursuant to SMARA. If the SMGB determines that a lead agency is not in compliance with SMARA, the SMGB has the authority to exercise any of the powers of that lead agency with respect to surface mining and reclamation, except for permitting authority. The SMGB promulgates regulations to clarify and interpret the SMARA's provisions, and also serves as a policy and appeals board.
Lead agency approval of a mining permit, a plan for returning the land to a usable condition which is readily adaptable for alternal land use (known as a "reclamation plan"), and financial assurances to guarantee costs for reclamation, are required prior to initiating mining activities. Pursuant to PRC §2207(d)(5), new mining operations must also file an initial report with the DMR.
SMARA lead agencies review applications for permits and/or reclamation plans (or amendments thereto), submit reclamation plans and financial assurances to the State for technical review and comment prior to approval, annually review financial assurances, annually inspect mining operations for compliance, and take enforcement actions where necessary.
Mining operators are responsible for the preparation and submission of reclamation plans and financial assurances for reclamation to the lead agency. Annual reporting to both the State and the lead agency on the status of mining and reclamation activities, annual updates of financial assurances, and annual inspections (to be conducted under the auspices of the lead agency), are required. Following completion of mining activities, and in accordance with the approved reclamation plan and relevant permit conditions, mining operators return mined lands to a second, productive use. Examples of post-mining uses may include, but are not limited to, open space, wildlife habitat, agricultural lands, grazing, park lands, and preparing the land for industrial or commercial uses.
Financial assurances may take the form of surety bonds, irrevocable letters of credit or trust funds, and must be accessible by the lead agency and the State in cases of mine abandonment. The SMGB may, by regulation, authorize alternative financial assurance mechanisms. While additional forms of financial assurance mechanisms have not yet been extended to mining operators, governmental entities have been authorized to utilize pledges of revenue or budget set-asides.
In the absence of a certified lead agency SMARA ordinance, the SMGB may review and approve reclamation plans. Any such plans would not be subject to later modification by the permitting agency; however, administrative jurisdiction may be regained once a SMARA ordinance has been certified by the SMGB.
For permitting or enforcement questions, contact your lead agency. For unresolved questions regarding enforcement activities, or questions regarding annual mine reporting, reclamation technical assistance, or general information, contact the
Division of Mine Reclamation.

Justin Bieber ensured the cameras were on his fans during his show in Miami, Florida on Saturday (26Jan13) as he recorded footage for a new movie.
The Baby singer's 3D concert film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never was a hit when it was released in 2011, and Bieber is now seemingly working on a follow-up.
His manager Scooter Braun took to the stage before Bieber's show at the American Airlines Arena and told the audience, "Last time we were in Miami it was crazy, so we're going to shoot this like we're shooting a movie.
"So, for tonight and tomorrow in Miami only, Jon M. Chu, the director of Never Say Never, is going to be here with all these video cameras shooting you guys and Justin. Miami, prove us right that you are one of the craziest and loudest cities in the world!"
After the show, Bieber told his Twitter.com fans, "Yeah word is out.. We are shooting a movie here in Miami. Need u all live tomorrow again!"

A group of MF Global Holdings Ltd. creditors proposed a liquidation plan that would pay as much as 41.5 cents on the dollar for unsecured claims after the company reached key settlements last month with affiliates.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Blue Mountain Timberline Ltd., Cyrus Capital Partners LP, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Silver Point Capital LP and Waterstone Capital Management LP are among the plan's backers, according to a filing yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The creditors said they hold about 65% of certain MF Global loans and bonds.
"The plan proponents have proposed the plan to facilitate the prompt and efficient conclusion of the Chapter 11 cases," they said in the accompanying disclosure statement.
MF Global filed the eighth-largest U.S. bankruptcy on Oct. 31, 2011, after getting margin calls and bank demands for money following its investment in the debt of troubled European economies. The company, which was headed by former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, listed assets of $41 billion and debt of $39.7 billion in its Chapter 11 filing.
The creditors, an unofficial group, estimated that the parent's payout to unsecured claim holders would be 11.5 cents to 41.5 cents on the dollar under their plan, from assets of $276 million to $994 million. The calculation was conservative as it didn't include some money that might come in and the creditors lacked access to all necessary information, they said.
Bond Prices
Kevin Starke, an analyst at CRT Capital Group LLC, said he was puzzled by the group's proposal. Instead of filing a plan, the hedge funds could have sold their bonds at current prices of 60 cents to 65 cents on the dollar, far exceeding the high end of their estimated recovery, he said in an e-mail.
"Perhaps this is an expression of impatience with the lack of disclosure and progress in the Chapter 11 case," Starke wrote in a note to clients of CRT, which trades distressed debt. "Unless the plan proponent group's estimates are perceived to be sandbagged, they are likely to disappoint the rest of the market."
The creditors supporting the plan hold about $788 million of the $1.2 billion of MF Global's loans outstanding, and $647 million of its $1 billion in notes, according to the disclosure statement.

I have once visited this little chocolate maker on an island tour in Grenada. Amazing company powered by the sun and nestled amongst the rain forest. Outstanding chocolate and all the better for knowing its organic and fairly traded and even packaged at source. So delighted to see it online to buy here in the UK and reading about its rave reviews in the press. This dark chocolate bar tips the balance to a bitter dark chocolate experience for me and I love it. Still retains the fruity edge of a fine chocolate made from really high quality cocoa. Not at all burnt or astringent and a must for anyone who enjoys dark chocolate.

Amazing burst of fruit flavours and long melt on the tongue - it really doesn't taste like a dark chocolate bar with such a high cocoa content (82%) at all. Another fantastic organic, dark chocolate bar, oozing quality from the Grenada Chocolate Company.

Investopresto Joins Indian Women's Battle for Safety and Security, Offers Free Financial Planning to all Women
HYDERABAD, India, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
As most of you are aware, a movement is taking shape in India - a movement that will change forever, the lives of millions of Indian women. The women of India are fighting for basic safety and security. As a corporate citizen of India, Investopresto is keen on showing its support for the women of India in this fight for freedom and safety.
With the aim of helping women achieve financial security and independence, Investopresto is now offering free financial planning to women. To make use of these services, all one has to do is to signup via Investopresto's website and fill out their contact details via a simple web form. The entire financial planning exercise will then be handled on the telephone by Investopresto's finance professionals who typically are either CFA charter holders, CFPs or who hold advanced degrees in finance.
The professionals will assess the financial risk appetite and investment needs. They will then suggest specific investments ranging from stocks, mutual funds, fixed deposits and gold funds to help build a diversified investment portfolio suited to meet the person's financial needs. These recommendations are based on extensive research and decades of historic data pertaining to investment returns and risk.
Talking about this, Investopresto's CEO, Ashwini Anand, CFA said, "We did some market research and were surprised to see the number of highly educated and well paid professionals whose financial lives were in total disarray. We felt that we could add a lot of value to these people by sitting down with them and helping them organize their finances and introducing financial discipline to their lives."
Financial planning is as much about educating people about good financial habits as it is about applying quantitative tools to create financial plans. Investopresto's tax planning and financial planning offerings are designed to help people take control of their financial future and achieve their financial goals.
The role of financial security and independence in the lives of women cannot be overemphasized. Financial security can help women feel more confident and independent. A financially independent woman is more likely to have the confidence and courage required to express her opinions, protect her interests, fight for her rights and speak out against harassment or abuse.
About Investopresto:
Investopresto is a next generation investment portal that helps small investors make smart investment decisions. Investopresto offers highly social, web based tools to help users with financial planning, investment portfolio tracking and analysis and investment research.

This is a "no holds barred" campaign. The ToH is the original character-killing dungeon; the expanded version is just as deadly. We've agreed that I'm playing this straight up. I am sorry that so many PCs have died, especially Shisaku's, but that's the way it's written, and this dungeon is meant to be the challenge of challenges.
This adventure is deadly, and some of the traps aren't even fair. But survive and win, and you can truly call yourselves gamers!

Clinton falls to Manchester
Britton Deerfield's boys basketball team showed mid-season shooting form in its opener Monday night, hitting 62 percent from the floor in notching an 81-48 win over Ann Arbor Rudolf Steiner.
The Patriots sped out to a 24-10 lead after one quarter and wouldn't be threatened the rest of the way, especially with that kind of shooting success. BD increased its first-half lead to 50-19 at the break.
"The score didn't really indicate how the game went because we shot so well, but they (Steiner) has a couple kids who can really play," said BD coach Darren Shiels. "It's a good thing we came out and shot so well."
The Patriots had to play around some early foul trouble, eventually losing Dallas Dusseau and Levi Woerner to fouls. However, Britton Deerfield had more balance and depth to overcome the scoring of Miles Greenstone (22 points) and Ben Hadlock (15).
Tommy Garner was on fire from long range for BD, hitting five 3-pointers in leading the way for the Patriots with 15 points. Matt Mueller and Devin Gruber added 12 points each and Jordan Robinson tacked on 10, with Sam Iott dishing out seven assists and Mueller having three steals.
— Britton Deerfield JV: The Britton Deerfield junior varsity team posted a 65-34 victory.
Manchester 43, Clinton 37: At Manchester, the host Dutchmen pulled away from a halftime tie and slowly put some space between themselves and Clinton for the win.
Both teams sputtered offensively and were tied at 17-all at halftime, and Clinton really never did find its offense in the second half.
"It was good for us to see how hard we're going to have to work this season," said Clinton coach Mike Ruhl. "We really need some more time together, but this was good for us. Our goal tonight was to have our defense feed our offense, but we struggled a little bit with that."
Ryan Luzier paced the Clinton offense with his 12 points while Reid Clark grabbed seven rebounds to go with his eight points and Ryan Karapas also netted eight points. Jared Sackett was credited with four assists.
Manchester outscored the Redskins 13-10 in both the third and fourth quarters to secure the win.
— Clinton JV: The junior varsity Redskins eased to a 45-18 victory.
Fayette (Ohio) 46, Sand Creek 25: At Fayette, Sand Creek was slow out of the gates, scoring two points in the opening quarter, but not letting Fayette out of its sights as the home team led 6-2 after one. The Eagles extended their lead to 20-9 at halftime and the Aggies showed signs of breaking out of their shooting slump until the fourth quarter, when they were held to four points.
"They really handled us on the boards," said Sand Creek coach Sid Disbrow. "Our early foul trouble hurt us and what we wanted to do."
Sand Creek was called for 22 fouls compared to just nine for the home team.
Griffin Wollett led Sand Creek with nine points while Micah Smith had four assists and Jameson Near three assists.

Pending mortgage regulations could lock today's tight lending standards in place and result in nearly 20% fewer mortgages being issued in the coming years, restraining home sales and construction, according to a new study.
The report from the American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, provides an estimate of the potential impact of three important mortgage regulations set to take effect next year:
- Higher bank capital standards under the Basel III agreement
- The "qualified mortgage" rule regulating ability-to-repay standards, which is part of the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law
- The "qualified residential mortgage" rule setting standards governing loans that are issued as securities, also part of Dodd-Frank.
Together, the new rules "will raise the cost of borrowing for millions of home buyers and tighten access to credit beyond pre-boom standards, a period of much more responsible lending than in the lead-up to the housing crisis," says the AAF paper.
Of course, regulators have yet to finalize the "qualified mortgage" and "qualified residential mortgage" rules. As a proxy for where those rules might land, the report roughly assumes that today's tighter lending standards won't return to those that prevailed before the housing boom as a result of the impending regulation.
"It would make permanent the current, tighter standards," says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the president of the AAF. While he says he won't pretend that his estimate is "perfect," he says it is a "sensible" forecast.
Mr. Holtz-Eakin and his co-authors attempt to quantify the potential impact of the regulations by comparing today's mortgage lending standards with those that prevailed in 2001, which they use as a "baseline" for more normal lending standards.
Banks have tightened up their standards over the past three years—and kept them tight—largely to address the threat of mortgage "put-backs" from investors, from lawsuits, and from the higher costs associated with handling delinquent mortgages.
The paper concludes that if lending standards that are in place today don't moderate to the 2001 baseline level, there would be roughly 14% to 20% fewer loans originated over the coming three years. That decline, they estimate, would reduce total home sales by 9% to 13%, depending on the ability of all-cash buyers to pick up any slack.
The decline in home sales, in turn, would reduce housing starts by 1.01 million through 2015 and GDP growth by 1.1 percentage points.
"The issue is, if we want to have tighter standards for mortgage origination—as a safety-and-soundness issue for banks, or as a matter of not having people get in trouble on their loans—you have to cut back on what you originate," said Mr. Holtz-Eakin.
While no one is arguing for a return to the lax standards that prevailed during the housing bubble, Mr. Holtz-Eakin said he's surprised that more policy makers haven't focused on the potential impact on the housing market should regulation enshrine banks' current defensive position when it comes to making mortgages.
Consumer advocates say they are cautiously optimistic that the Dodd-Frank rules can ensure stronger consumer protection without limiting new lending. "If Dodd-Frank is done right, we should see somewhat expanded lending from what we have right now," said Julia Gordon, housing policy director at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. "It's important to raise these concerns, but it's also important to be specific, and not just anti-regulation."

Charles Zola Sherlock -- My Grandpa, the Actor
2 comments:
What a wonderful find on your grandfather! Yes, your gratitude is understandable, considering the number of films that must have needed to be catalogued! Imdb is great!ReplyDelete
I've wondered about doing the same thing, myself. My mother was an actress in NYC and Canada. She did some radio work and a film in Canada, and I'd love to be able to find examples of her work. I have her professional portfolio, but it is all stills. Having clips of her scenes would be such a treasure.
Now that you've found the list, it would be wonderful to make a collection of the actual clips from the films that feature him--a collection focusing on his roles in all these films. What a treasure to pass on to family!
Yes, Jacqui, that is my goal -- to create a DVD of the clips from his movies to share with my kids and siblings.ReplyDelete

Came across this about a week ago. Atlantic Fleet, its available on steam. I bought it for £3.95 in the sale, its now back up to £6.99. Its the best £3.95 I have spent in a long time.
Its a turn based strategy game around the Battle of the Atlantic in WW2. You can play either side, in single scenarios or a full dynamic campaign. You earn 'Renown Points' by sinking ships. You then spend those point to build up your fleet. Ship/Classes come into play at the historical time. So you cant have Bismarck until August 1940, and if you loose it, tough, you cant get it back.
The gameplay is slightly simplistic, but that's no bad thing in this case. Anyway, I am having a blast. Thought it was worth mentioning.
By the way, the bottom two pics are in-game shots, not renders.

Justin Bieber has reached out to the family of a paparazzo who was killed while photographing the singer's car in Los Angeles, insisting his "thoughts and prayers" are with the victim's relatives.
A photographer spotted the superstar's Ferrari on New Year's Day (01Jan13) when it was pulled over by police.
The driver of the luxury Ferrari, believed to be a friend of Bieber's, was questioned by cops and the snapper got out of his vehicle to take pictures of the incident, but he was knocked over and killed by another car.
Bieber has now sent his condolences to the victim's family, and has also called for "meaningful legislation" to restrict the actions of paparazzi.
In a statement, he writes, "While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim.
"Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves."
Miley Cyrus has addressed the incident on her Twitter.com page, writing in a series of posts, "Hope this paparazzi/JB accident brings on some changes in '13. Paparazzi are dangerous! Wasn't Princess Di (British royal Diana, Princess of Wales) enough of a wake up call?!
"It is unfair for anyone to put this on to Justin's conscious (sic) as well! This was bound to happen! Your mom teaches u (sic) when your (sic) a child not to play in the street! The chaos that comes with the paparazzi acting like fools makes it impossible for anyone to make safe choices."

Why Canada Isn't a Safe Haven
Though Canada is a big oil exporter with a healthy banking system, it's the direct connection to crude oil that is dragging it down.
I've been thinking. I know, that's potentially dangerous, but I've been trying to find a place to hide as Europe's problems with Greece and now Italy make the Euro and the continent suspect. The US clearly hasn't solved the debt ceiling problem yet either. Looking elsewhere around the globe, China has an inflation problem and is starting to raise interest rates. That makes Australia dangerous because their economy is so closely tied to China.
So what about Canada? It's a big oil exporter, its banks didn't blow up on subprime mortgages, and unemployment is much lower than the US. This looks like a good place to hide. Last Friday, the BLS reported a horrendous June nonfarm payroll number. Here comes the dangerous part -- thinking. How do you think the Canadian dollar would immediately react? Logically, it should strengthen because its economy is stronger, but the economy is tied tightly to the US, so a weak US is not great for Canada. Therefore flat to modestly up seems to be a logical call.
The first chart below is the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar, and the giant red down spike in the middle of the chart was precisely at 8:30 last Friday morning when the nonfarm number hit.

So the Canadian dollar collapsed on the bad US numbers! What is going on? The answer is on the next chart, which is crude oil for the same time frame. The Canadian dollar trades tick for tick with crude oil. Whether or not it should, doesn't matter because it does.

So is there any safe place to hide with everything down big this morning? Look at the final chart.

Pork Souvlaki & Indian Style Rice Pilaf and another kitchen gadget
Pork tenderloin is my other white meat. It's lean, it's affordable and it's so versatile. We grill year-round. In the wet winter, I use an indoor cast iron grill on my gas range. Outdoors, we have two grills-- a Weber grill and a gas grill. The gas grill is looking pretty worn out, but it still functions just fine. While I much prefer grilling with wood chips and charcoal, gas grills work just fine on work nights.
I decided to make my version of souvlaki, which is very simple. One of my go to quick marinades is olive oil, lemon or lime juice and zest, minced garlic and whatever herbs strike my fancy. I am fortunate to have a lot of fresh herbs, but this is when I go for dried basil, thyme and oregano.
To the marinade, I added cut-up pork tenderloin and refrigerated it for about 30 minutes.
I had made an excellent vegetarian pizza, the night before (which I have, yet, to post). I used leftover yellow and red bell pepper and onion. I had some leftover cremini mushrooms (my favorites).
This is where one of my kitchen gadgets comes in. Last summer, I bought these kabob grilling baskets at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They work great, when you don't have time to soak bamboo skewers. Somewhere, I have metal skewers, but these work just as well. I prefer to cook the meat separately from the veggies, because the veggies cook much faster. I also like that I don't have to worry about veggies falling between the grills.
These should grill pretty fast... it's a good thing I already made a salad and a side dish...
I made a rice pilaf to compliment this meal. I was searching through my spices and I found a bottle of garam masala. Use this fragrant blend for making Chicken Tikka Masala. It has spices including coriander, black pepper, cumin, cardamon and cinnamon. This seemed like a good experiment to try in rice (and I'm sure glad that I did).
I simply cooked some chopped onion in olive oil and a little bit of garlic. Next, I toasted some basmati rice and then added a heaping teaspoon of garam masala, a handful of golden raisins and I let it cook away for about 40 minutes.
From start to finish, dinner was on the table in less than an hour. This is such a simple meal to prepare but so delicious.
My husband and I particularly enjoyed this rice. I'm so glad that I found another way to enjoy this wonderful spice blend. If you haven't tried garam masala, it's a wonderful way to spice up a recipe. I can't wait to try this with lamb!
