New Law Enables Mega Yachts Over 300GT to Fly the U.S. Flag: A recently enacted legal amendment makes it possible for owners of mega yachts over 300GT to fly a U.S. flag. The move updates legislation passed in 1920 that defined yachts as vessels with a maximum volume of 300GT. U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) Chair Kate Pearson noted that her organization has spent nearly a decade trying to correct the outdated law. Yacht owners will no longer have to go to other countries to flag their vessels. Before the amendment, owners with yachts over the 300GT limit could only fly...

Defra gives IBM 21% MORE dosh this year
Main IT partner received £99.1m - top 100 suppliers list for 2010-11
IBM has increased its dominance of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (Defra) budget, after a 21 per cent increase in its income from the department. The firm now receives nearly a quarter of Defra's £398.7m spending with external suppliers.
Defra paid the firm £99.1m in 2010-11, according to figures released by the department through a Freedom of Information request by Guardian Government Computing. It paid IBM, which provides the department with most of its ICT services, £82.2m in 2009-10.
No other IT companies feature in the top 10 of Defra's suppliers for 2010-11, although several consultancy firms appear. Property firm DTZ, which provides the department with facilities management services, came second, receiving £57.8m in 2010-11. This represents a 52 per cent increase in the department's spending with the firm, which was paid £38m in 2009-10.
Deloitte was ninth, receiving £5.03m in 2010-11. Buying Solutions saw a slight increase in the money it was given by the department, receiving £1.77m in 2010-11, compared to £1.55m in 2009-10.
Other IT firms in the top 100 suppliers include Parity Resources (47th, £781,420); Logica (53rd, £627,726); Vertex Data Science (74th, £420,051); Elan Computing (84th, £376,516); and Oracle (89th, £347,507).
Firms that appeared in the top 100 last year, including Serco and Capita, dropped out of the list for 2010-11.

Welcome to a new Another Place In Time photo. Do you know any of the people featured in the photos? If so, call your guesses into the Grant County News at 859-824-3343. See next week's News for their identity.
15 Years Ago
June 11, 1998
Anthony J. Smith has joined the United States Army under the Delayed Entry Program at the U.S. Army Recruiting Station in Florence. Smith, a student from Grant County High School, will report to Fort Sill in Lawton, Okla., for basic training on Aug. 12. The recruit qualified for a $6,000 enlistment bonus.

I used to have a visceral response to lush spring grass; it gave me anxiety because I knew it was time to get on the Scag and start mowing (and usually the Scag would not start coming out of winter storage.) This year, I see the grass in a different way because it is potential pasture for the growing herd of sheep. We use moveable, electrified fence and rotational grazing methods to keep the pasture and the herd healthy so the more grass I have the better. It is a liberating feeling not worrying about getting the grass mowed.
April 30, 1998
This Another Place In Time photo features Harold Covey. There were no guesses called in. Thanks to Wanda Covey, Harold's wife, for submitting the photo.
The current warm sunny weather-it's about time-has made everyone just delighted and the intoxication of it all may lead us to act impulsively. I am as anxious as anyone to move some of my houseplants outdoors: my gardenia looks terrible in the dining room and the jasmine down stairs seems to stare into space dreaming of better days; those days are coming, just be slow about the transition from indoors to out.

In the six years since Scientific American Mind began, I've learned a lot about how the mind and brain work. No surprise there. What is startling is how some articles can still make me completely rethink things that I thought I knew.
One such piece is this issue's cover story, "Get Attached," by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller. The importance of attachment—a sound emotional relationship—between a child and a parent has long been well understood. Essentially, the more secure the emotional bond, the more able the child is to develop independence and head into the world successfully. Different types of attachment styles also predict behavior.
I had no idea, however, that attachment goes beyond the links between parents and children. Adults who set out to find romantic relationships, too, display different types of attachment styles—and those styles predict behavior with unnerving accuracy. An understanding of our own attachment style and that of our partner can also predict our eventual happiness in a given relationship. The important take-home message is that you don't have to leave your love life to chance: psychological science can help. When you are done reading the article, you can visit www.ScientificAmerican.com/mind/jan2011/quiz to find a survey that identifies attachment styles.
Connections loom large for people, because humans are such social creatures. Getting along with others helps us succeed as individuals. What about the opposite—when a person is ostracized, or shunned, by a group? The sad result is pain that can be physical as well as mental, as psychologist Kipling D. Williams explains in "The Pain of Exclusion." The sting (which, in experiments, actually was lessened with pain reliever) is an evolutionarily helpful reminder to try to get along with others to enhance the odds of survival. As Ben Franklin, commenting about the likelihood of the Revolutionary patriots avoiding the noose for treason, wryly put it: "If we do not hang together, we will most assuredly hang separately."

As we approach the weekend, we present our final feature for BC Coaches Week. This week is a time for all of us to appreciate the many BC coaches that dedicate their time and share their knowledge with over 120,000 registered soccer players across the province.
In honour of this week, Whitecaps FC together with BC Soccer have spent each day highlighting a different stage of the national coaching pathway and soccer coaching certification. In addition we have been recognizing and showing our appreciation to the coaches and learning facilitators that teach these courses, as well as the many other dedicated coaches across British Columbia.
Today we recognize our very own Residency high performance goalkeeper coach, Raegyn Hall. A native of Victoria, BC, Raegyn has dedicated much of his life to the sport of soccer. He has been playing soccer for almost 29 years, and has spent the past seven years as a full-time coach.
Raegyn began his coaching career as an assistant coach with Simon Fraser University, learning the foundation of basic drills. He has since worked his way up to training and inspiring young goalkeepers with Whitecaps FC Residency teams and women's teams.
Along the way, Raegyn has achieved his coaching certification up to the national B Level, as well as a state diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and a goalkeeping license from the English FA. He has also had the amazing accomplishment of working with Canadian U-17 and U-20 youth national teams at the World Cup stage.
When asked on his tips for coaches aspiring to teach at a professional level, Raegyn states:
"It's a lot of time commitment. Start with grassroots and slowly work your way up and when you have opportunities, take those opportunities as they come. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and slowly work your way up into a more competitive, higher level. Slowly but surely you can make your way up the ranks."
Vancouver Whitecaps FC would like to thank Raegyn for his time and dedication to coaching youth soccer over the past seven years.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC are preparing to launch a special offer for fans on 2013 Season Tickets. To thank fans for their continued support, those who purchase Season Tickets from Saturday, September 22 to Wednesday, October 3 will receive a special signing bonus of 12 per cent off. Fans can take advantage of this offer and renew or purchase their Season Tickets online at whitecapsfc.com or by phone at 604.669.9283.

City Hit by SEC Fraud Charges
Harrisburg's Public Statements Faulted

A unique summertime youth program centered on the wildlife-rich ecosystems of Southeastern Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains.
Camp Chiricahua presents young birders with an extraordinary opportunity to share a mutual love of birds and nature in one of the greatest natural history locations in North America. The camp, co-sponsored by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, American Birding Association, and Leica Sport Optics, is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18 to become familiar with the flora and fauna of Southeast Arizona.
The primary focus of the camp is on the rich birdlife of the region, but we will also explore all aspects of nature, and spend time learning about habitats and ecosystems. Campers do not need to be expert birders, but should possess an interest in birds and nature.
Campers should expect to see most of the special birds of Southeast Arizona, including such sought-after species as Elegant Trogon, a good variety of hummingbirds, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, and Red-faced Warbler. Evening night drives will provide additional opportunities for mammals, reptiles, and insects.
Through the years, Camp Chiricahua has endured as a testament to VENT's dedication to employing nature as a vehicle for learning, and positively influencing the lives of young people. Many campers have gone on to successful careers in a variety of fields, and many of them cite their time spent at Camp Chiricahua as a defining event in their lives.
Long, learning-filled days emphasizing the region's birdlife and varied habitats; lots of hiking and camping; cool mornings and warm to hot days with afternoon thunderstorms.

Local filmmakers are creating a documentary about how the climate for LGBT students and educators at South Florida schools has evolved since the late 1970s.
"Schools, of course, just like the society has, have changed amazingly in 20 to 30 years, so we really want to show that," said Bruce W. Presley, founder and president of Downtown Loft Studio, the Lantana-based company producing the film.
The documentary will feature historical background from experts as well as personal accounts of LGBT students and educators.
Presley, who is the film's executive producer, and his crew have begun conducting interviews but are still seeking LGBT individuals who attended or taught at a middle or high school in the tri-county area between 1976 and 2013 and experienced isolation, bullying or assault.
The filmmakers chose to trace back to 1976 because it was the year that Miami-Dade County amended an existing ordinance to prohibit discrimination on the basis of "affectional or sexual preference," joining a wave of some three dozen United States cities and counties at the time to extend protections to gays under law, starting with East Lansing, Mich., in 1972.
A dogged campaign spearheaded by pop singer and anti-gay activist Anita Bryant led to residents voting to repeal the amendment just six months later and then similar repeals in other parts of the country. Although it would be another 21 years before Miami-Dade's LGBT community regained its short-lived protections, the ordeal gave fuel to the gay rights movement both locally and nationally.
"A lot had been done about the impact of Anita Bryant and other issues and laws and ordinances and things relative to society at large, but there's been very little focus on the schools — the impact that these events that were taking place in society at large had on the kids in the school district — and that's where we want to look," said assistant producer Donald Cavanaugh, who runs workshops to help schools, organizations and businesses create more LGBT-friendly environments through his organization Tri-Angle Consulting LGBT.
Ultimately the film will emphasize the positive developments in local schools, like those brought about by Safe Schools South Florida, the nonprofit organization sponsoring the documentary.
Former high school teacher and counselor Robert Loupo founded Safe Schools in Miami-Dade County in 1991 to make schools safer for students who are LGBT, perceived as such or have LGBT parents, as well as LGBT staff.
"We're hoping that by having this film made others can see and have recorded a history of what people coming together can do in positive change for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and the educators," said Loupo, who will help narrate the documentary.
During the early '90s, Safe Schools was instrumental in making Miami-Dade County Public Schools the first school district in the southeastern United States to include sexual orientation in its discrimination and harassment policies, which inspired similar changes in neighboring counties.
It holds district-wide conferences for students in schools' Gay Straight Alliance clubs, as well as training workshops to help school educators, administrators and counseling personnel recognize and intervene in bullying and harassment related to sexual orientation. One of the most effective components of the latter workshops is a panel of LGBT students.
"Safe Schools allows the student to get up and talk and tell their story and be questioned by teachers, and it really has a huge impact. People who've been teaching 20 years have never had this kind of conversation with a student before," said executive producer Presley, who is a retired teacher and has long served on the Safe Schools Board of Directors.
"The thing that we're really hoping to achieve by this [film] is to show school people and parents and so forth that there really are ways of making the lives of gay kids better, and the process of making it better is communications between the teachers, the students and the parents."
Presley said he is aiming to wrap filming by November.
"The big effort will be the editing," he said. "The usual approach in a documentary like this is to film anywhere from, let's say, 100 to 150 hours, and then edit that down to an hour. It's a very lengthy process."
He said the goal is to release the documentary around February and get it shown at local and national film festivals and on television.
"Our real dream would be HBO."
Those interested in being included in the documentary should email email@example.com or call Cavanaugh at 561-543-0373. To learn more about Safe Schools South Florida, visit SafeSchoolsSouthFlorida.org.

And God said,
"Let us make man in our image,
After our likeness."
Genesis 1:26
It is a wonder-filled experience to deliver a baby. At first there is a limp, seemingly lifeless form. Then, with the first breath, comes animation! What happens in that moment? What is the nature of this sudden change? From where did this life energy come? Our human minds are quite incapable of comprehending the source of life or life as a whole. Of necessity we look at its various dimensions from different perspectives, depending very much upon our background and training.
According to Albert Einstein, every energy system in the universe is a localized condensation of energy of specific form, linked to every other by the psi factor in a unified field.
Even a human being is made up of an extremely complex series of interrelating energies. This is indeed an energy universe. As we establish a living, daily relationship with it, it becomes a constant source for renewing our own energies.
It has been estimated that there are approximately five octillion atoms in the human body and approximately a quadrillion cells. These figures boggle the imagination. To make them a little more comprehensible, imagine each atom to be the size of a pea. Five octillion peas would stand four feet deep over the entire face of the earth, and over 1,250,000 other planets of equal size.1 A calculation shows that if the cells in one body also were the size of peas, they would fill all the buildings in the city of Philadelphia from cellar to roof.
There are certain things we must take on faith if we truly want to progress along the path of life. The most important of these things cannot be written; they can only be experienced. I know that a perfect sunset drives deeply into my soul, but anything I might say about it cannot possibly convey completely to anyone what I feel.
I have never composed a piece of music in my life, but my life is richer for my exposure to the inspiration of such musicians as Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. I know I have gathered a certain strength after listening and entering into the musical experience of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor or Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Many psychiatrists are of the opinion that they must be quite uninvolved with the consciousness of their patient. The effectiveness of this approach is open to question.
A retired musician came into my office quite irate that on the top of the medical history questionnaire, he had been asked to specify his religious faith. He informed my secretary that it was none of my business, that his chief complaint was insomnia-and what did that have to do with religion? He told me that as soon as his head hit the pillow at night he would be wide awake.
It seemed very possible to me that, unconsciously, he identified sleep with death. Now retired, and with no real outlets, he was frightened. I asked him if, in his career as a violinist, he had any favorite composers.
"Most assuredly," he said. "Mozart and Brahms have a special meaning to me."
"Isn't that something of a religion to you?" I asked.
"Oh, yes," was the reply.
With this as an opening we had meaningful discussions about ways to get back into his creative life. He clearly had great need to reestablish his roots in the universe, and it is doubtful that the prescription of a sleeping pill would have done the same thing for him.
When we limit ourselves to the outer shell of life and its processes, we miss the very center where these processes originate. There is much evidence that science now is attempting to penetrate these depths, and let us hope that medicine will follow.
Man is a product of the evolutionary process. It is an interesting fact that the growth of every embryo mirrors each stage of the evolutionary development of man.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the great Jesuit priest-paleontologist, posits the presence of two distinctive types of energy involved in the process of evolution.
We shall assume that, essentially, all energy is physical in nature but add that in each particular element this fundamental energy is divided into two distinct components: a tangential energy which links the element with all others of the same order (that is to say of the same complexity and the same centricity) as itself in the universe; and a radial energy which draws it towards ever-greater complexity and centricity-in other words forwards.
Radial energies relate to consciousness and very possibly, in the subtler forms, they may well relate to the various levels of "love energy." The late Harvard sociologist Pitrim Sorokin referred to this powerful energy in the following way:
Everywhere in the organic, inorganic, and psychosocial worlds the integrating and uniting role of love functions incessantly. Untiringly, it counteracts the dividing and separating forces of chaos and strife. Without the operation of love energy, the physical, the biological, and sociocultural cosmos would have fallen.. apart. No harmony, unity or order would have been possible. Universal disorder and enmity would have reigned supreme. As a creative energy, love unites what is separated, elevates what is base, purifies what is impure, ennobles what is ignoble, creates harmony in the world of enmity and peace in war. Love raises man as a biological organism to the level of divinity.3
Through the centuries the great philosophers, seers, prophets, and poets have caught glimpses of this man who is created in the divine image. Before Christ, Pythagoras was conscious of the harmony of the universe and described its inherent music. The seventeenth-century poet John Dryden writes, "From harmony, from heavenly harmony this universal form began...."4
Energy Fields
Several years ago I stood in front of Tintoretto's Madonna amazed at the master's understanding of the inner light that shines out of the human soul. Tintoretto must have been conscious of Mary's supporting light and perceived the heavenly host that accompanied her.
The Light was again present about the Christ in Tintoretto's Deposition.6 This "light" was not the stylized aura of an earlier period of painting, but a scintillating light, portraying a power and strength that supported and surrounded the figures as only he could have observed it. This seems to me to be the actual "force field" that supports the human body.
Neurologist Shafica Karagulla has made a study of energy fields as observed by "sensitives" and comes to the conclusion that there are three or more such fields. When observed, they reveal different color patterns depending on the individual's consciousness and state of physical, emotional, and mental health. She says,
Many of the more intelligent and integrated sensitives with whom I have worked describe interpenetrating fields of energy around the human being. One of these is the vital field or energy body closely related to the physical. Much of my experimental work so far has dealt with this field in its relationship to physical conditions. The emotional field, extending a foot to eighteen inches beyond the body, and the mental field, extending an average of two feet or more beyond the periphery of the body, are a part of the unified field surrounding the human body.7
Dr. Kargulla goes on to describe the nature and characteristics of these auras, showing that their intensity and color vary with the intensity and nature of the emotions and thoughts as well as with the general state of physical health. Enthusiasm brightens and intensifies the aural color, while depression shows up as a muddy color.
I have never personally experienced these colors or auras, yet I have met many who have and would not wish to deny their experiences. My understanding of life processes is more complete because I have shared with others-and thus have made more valid for myself-certain related phenomena that I have come upon in the course of my studies.
The Aim of Yoga
The body is the reflecting mirror of the whole cosmic process. This fact has long been known in India, where meditation has been an essential part of life through the centuries. Much benefit can be derived from a sharing of insights derived from the Western study of endocrinology and the science of yoga, since the aim of both is integration of the individual. The former approaches integration from the physical and emotional perspective; the latter from the spiritual perspective.
Yoga has been defined as the mystic reunion of man's spirit with the one Eternal Soul of the universe. The yogi is the practitioner of yoga. There are many diverse systems of yoga. The form most commonly practiced in the United States is hatha yoga, which concentrates on attuning the body through physical postures and breathing. Raja yoga the yoga of right action; jnana yoga takes the intellectual pathway. And bhakti yoga moves to God through love and devotion.
The aim of all forms of yoga is to make man the master of his body rather than its servant and to arouse recognition of his true spiritual nature. Its study is very demanding and necessitates great discipline and the guidance of an experienced guru (teacher). The disciplines include such practices as the following: the avoidance of all stimulants, a largely vegetarian diet, moderation of sex life, expecting much from oneself but little from others, truthfulness, noninjury to others, and simplicity of living on a small and often shared income.
The various systems of yoga are staged to unfold step by step the basic sources of man's energy-physical, mental, and spiritual.
Today the great majority of people are quite unaware of their potentials and live life in a rather routine and unimaginative way. The student of yoga sees himself in relationship to great reservoirs of energy that are all about him. If he is to avail himself of these energies, he must tune his body instrument. This means developing the control of certain energy valves, referred to as chakras (see figure). Seven of these are of major importance, and it is to these alone we refer. These vortices of energy selectively suck in cosmic energy and relate it directly to one of the endocrine glands. These latter, which are guardians of health, exert a strong regulatory control, through hormones and the involuntary nervous system, on the body organs.
There is a latent source of power, figuratively pictured as a
coiled serpent, located at the base of the spine, which is referred to as the kundalini. When the kundalini is fully awakened, the power ascends and activates, one after another, the chakras and thus brings about progressive enlightenment.
If the centers are opened before the student is prepared, the energy release may be so great as to cause a psychotic break with reality. Through the practice of yoga the sleeping serpent is aroused and starts the ascent toward the thorax and brain as visualized in the caduceus.8
The serpents in this symbol are seen to cross at five points, which are the five chakras of the abdomen and the chest. In their center is the spine and at the upper end are a pair of wings, symbolizing the ascent of the forces: the male (positive) referred to as Pingala, and the female (negative) termed Ida. In yoga these forces are aroused by breathing through the left and right nostril with a deep concentration on the power of the inflowing breath.
Speaking in the terminology of psychosynthesis, the arousing of the lower centers is the personal synthesis that must precede the spiritual synthesis. This is accomplished through self-discovery, through recognizing our ego and accepting ourselves just as we are. Having recognized our sensual life and given it expression, there follows a period of raising the consciousness through character-building, clean living, and controlled emotional life so that we become masters of our emotions rather than servants. The solar plexus, with its close connection to the adrenals, is the master center in this area of building and purification as it is a center of strength. The adrenal hormones are our primary source of body defense.
As this stage of life nears completion, personal desires are raised to the heart chakra in the chest area, and, through sublimation, they are transmuted into a higher form of love energy directed away from personal concerns and toward humanity in general. Meditation then becomes a vital part of everyday life, and one's life takes on an organized purpose. Through further meditation, the forces rise eventually to the highest head center of the pituitary and pineals. At this point one no longer lives for himself but finds his life is live through grace. Saint Paul describes this state as:
I (the ego) am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me....9

City of God (UK - BD RB)
Our Marcus wraps up his Miramax-a-thon with an HD trip to the City of God
The 2002 Brazillian crime drama City of God arrives on Blu-ray and wraps up my reviews of the Studio Canal/Miramax releases.
Telling the story of Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) from his childhood in the sixties up to when he became a photo journalist, we get a ground level view of the gang ruled streets of Rio de Janeiro and its inhabitants.
Sitting down to rewatch City of God I had a realisation. I haven't watched City of God nearly enough since first seeing it back on the initial release. A wave of regret swept over me from the moment the chicken starts running away because frankly this movie is so good it should have been on my rewatch list way before now. Directors Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund have such a firm grasp of the story they want to tell here that it rivals stuff like Goodfellas with its scope. Likable gangsters and its ability to take a truly dire situation and make it entertaining is rarely this well handled and once again I wonder why I haven't watched this film more.
For starters, Rocket is a character you can't help but like. His laid back attitude to the world around him, his attempts at trying out a life of crime (but failing because he's so darn nice) and just the fact that in this dark world of scum and villainy this kid is still that good a guy makes for a someone you can't help but warm to and want to see rise above it all. As for the dark world around him, dark don't come much darker than Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino). From his early years in the film as the devilish laughing Li'l Dice and that moment you realise how fucking crazy this kid is at the motel massacre, this character is firmly established as one of the best villains in the history of film. He's just someone you wouldn't want to get on the bad side of and from his scary outbursts of hatred to his truly shocking acts, he's a threat that you feel coming off of the screen. I mean I've seen City of God a couple of times but the stuff where he makes the little kids choose if they want to be shot in the hand or foot is still a pretty hard watch (thanks largely to that crying kid's brutally real performance) and some of the little nuisances in Firmino's performance still make Li'l Ze a character that has to come up on a short list when discussing truly evil movie bad guys.
It's not just the characters here though. The slums of City of God feel alive, they feel real and not just for the dark side of life but the interaction between friends and acquaintances. The threads with Knockout Ned and Benny feel like genuine relationships. We get Benny and why he wants to leave, we feel the friendships between Rocket and his beach buddies and even though he's a bad guy Li'l Ze getting turned down by a pretty girl in a club still makes you feel sorry for him, even if it's just a glimmer before he does something crazy.
City of God has what a lot of modern gangster movies leave out. A charming realism. All gangster movies aim for nowadays is looking cool and making you understand the bad guys and why they do what they do (like that makes it okay or something). City of God has an honesty about it. We know who the bad guys are and we totally understand how bad living in that world must be but at the same time we're shown characters adapting to their lives. Rocket in a room with Li'l Ze and his friends is a bad place to be but all these kids know each other, there's a history there and they get along, even if we're worried about Rocket's safety. There's a realism in that and somehow, for me at least, it makes all these character more believable. Yeah, there's the same old macho bullshit that fuels the bad guys and yeah I can't deny it makes me chuckle when I know I shouldn't but this story, that's based on true events, actually feels like it probably wasn't all that different in the reality even if the funky visuals make the situations feel a bit more playful.
City of God is one pretty looking film. Nifty camera tricks, wonderful colours and that constant warmness that makes the image pop. But this is a Studio Canal/ Miramax release and outside of The Aviator delivering the goods, these releases have not been all that great on the visuals. Well I'm glad to report City of God does deliver in HD and while it's not always perfect it's pretty damn striking.
From the opening scene that offers up some dazzling fine detail on that runaway chicken, City of God looks fantastic. The cool grey/blue of the image has a lot of deep dark shadows and characters' dark skin tones have a shine to them that really pops. Skipping to the sixties and the blue/grey is knocked out by sandy yellows and oranges. The warmth of the image is almost overwhelming and there's the odd close up of the truck that the Tender Trio rob that looks incredibly sharp and generally that rule continues with the rest of the close ups in the slum. Houses, background characters and generally everything that's out under the sun looks rich with detail, strong colours and a HD glow that's great to look at. Wider shots can feel a little soft and sometimes even hazy and interior scenes can look much softer with the image feeling a lot flatter and edges not looking all that sharp at all. I think I noticed the odd bit of DNR in some shots dotted about here and there as well but at the same time this could be down to the high level of colour stylisation so it's not a disaster. There's also a fair few moments where dirt appears on the edges of the screen but again nothing all that noticeable unless you're on the look out.
The seventies period turns the yellows into rich blues with the sky looking so blue it's like the TV is a window out to a summers day. Darker scenes tend to vary in quality. Night exterior scenes can get a bit of a jagged edge but then the scene with two of the Tender Trio hiding from the police up a tree actually looks quite striking with its clever lighting. Scenes in clubs are usually filled with glowing neon colours such as green or pink and hold up very well. The detail of the characters' faces and clothing drop out a bit but given the right disco light placement and everything comes back to life again.
City of God is a great looking, stylish Blu-ray presentation. It's by no means perfect and often has quite a soft digital feel to it but this look fits the look of film perfectly and as a whole the image here is alive and vibrant, popping with fine detail and wonderfully bright sun lit moments that boost everything in all the right places for an HD upgrade.
The DTS-HD Master Audio track here is a real winner. From the opening sharpening of a knife sounds all mixed up with the sounds of the crowd and music playing the track is lively and feels quite playful. The score builds to very powerful levels and only really drops in volume when other elements like dialogue and ambience take over.
The majority of the strong dialogue lives in the front speakers with the voice over and scene dialogue sitting well together. The score lives in the rear speakers but often builds enough to slip into the fronts while the musical selections sound realistic in the clubs. Gunfire sounds incredible and as the movie progresses seems to get stronger. The final gunfight of the film sounds crazy good with ricocheting bullets, police sirens, shouting and Rocket's camera clicks all working perfectly.
'News from a Personal War' (56:40 1080i) is a documentary shot between 1997 and 1998 in the real City of God and follows the police, the residents and the drug control problems. Stats like a person dies every half an hour in the slums and hearing the stories of some of the events are pretty bloody scary. This is a fine look behind the story of the film.
'A Conversation with Fernando Mierelles' (10:28 SD) is an extended EPK style featurettes with plenty of hype and review quotes and the director of the film telling us about the movie. There's the odd bit of input from the stars and the writer and the process of how this story is based on a combination of shared stories structured in one story. It's short but it gives us quite a bit of detail.
City of God is a brilliant film and one that I really enjoyed revisiting (I can't beleive I left it so long - how time flies, huh?) The presentation here does it proud. Strong visuals, strong audio and some genuinely interesting features make this a Miramax title that impresses across the board.

US Tops Czechs 5-2, Moves On To Olympic Hockey Semis
SOCHI, Russia (AP) - Dustin Brown banged in a go-ahead goal late in the first period and the United States went on to dominate the Czech Republic 5-2 Wednesday, earning a spot in the Olympic hockey semifinals for the second straight time.
The U.S. will play Canada on Friday for a spot in the gold-medal game. The Canadians beat Latvia 2-1.
James van Riemsdyk gave the Americans a lead 1:39 into the game. They lost it a few minutes later when one of their defenseman, Ryan McDonagh tried to clear the puck away from the front of the crease and it went off the left skate of Ryan Suter and got past Jonathan Quick.

Zoya is just set to release the True Collection for Spring 2012, a wardrobe of soft on-trend colors with enough of an edge to keep things interesting. I really like Zoya's product and have for years. Their polish is free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) and camphor. Zoya polishes has a reasonable price point– $8 per bottle, really good service, lovely colors and occasional deals. As a whole, their polishes have always performed extremely well for me. They have 300 colors, and some are absolute standouts.
The True collection has two purple-violets. Lotus is soft with shimmer, and is infused with a greyed down tone. It's a pretty transition color to take you from the cooler winter months into Spring.
Lotus on nails:
Tru is a more dramatic violet–the red tones and high shimmer give Tru more drama:
Tru on nails:
One of my favorites is Skylar, a soft shimmering wedgewood blue with little glass fleck.
Skylar's cool blue looks nice with my warm skin tone and really came alive in the light:
Another of Skylar:
Another one of my favorites is a soft, sage green called Bevin. This doesn't have the fleck of Skylar, but there is a soft pearly sheen that is very soft and pretty.
Here's Bevin on nails:
Zoya's True collection includes two light nudes–one cool and one warm. Cho is a pearly cafe au lait color that has a touch of warmth:
Cho on nails:
Farrah is very similar, but slightly cooler and a touch deeper in tone:
Here is Farrah on nails:
The formula on these were extremely good. The first four–Lotus, Tru, Skylar and Bevin go on smoothly and beautifully in two coats. As might be expected from a light opaque, Cho and Farah took a little more care–I had to practice on one nail to make sure I could apply it evenly. Also, colors like Cho and Farah can be invaluable. They're light neutrals that give a gorgeous, sophisticated nude look. Sometimes, colors like this can make my skin tone look a little redder but that's the nature of this type of color.
Ultimately, these went on without a problem with two coats. These were far easier to work with than some of the light opaques that I've tried (cough–Chanel Mimosa–excuse me!). All pictures are without a topcoat.
Overall, I'd recommend the colors from this collection. Zoya makes a fun, sophisticated and highly wearable collection. Lovely colors, lovely price point. I understand that these will be released very soon.
Zoya's True collection were sent to Cafe Makeup without charge for consideration for review.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

But raising vegetables is kinda like going to Las Vegas. Don't bet the mortgage on the whims of a roulette table and don't jeopardize the entire farm for a few acres of a crop with no market. If you can't afford to lose it, keep it in your pocket.
Before venturing into vegetable production growers should follow a few basic risk management guidelines, long before they lay off the first row, says Jay Yates Texas Extension risk management specialist at Lubbock. Yates says growers who are unprepared for the vagaries of vegetable markets can dig themselves into a huge hole.
He says producers should look into marketing, financial, management and production risks before they commit to any new crop and especially one as costly to grow as vegetables.
"The most important thing is to be sure of a sales opportunity," he says, "whether it's a big market or a niche. Marketing provides a much bigger risk for vegetable farmers than production. They have a lot of resources to learn to grow the crops, but a grower does himself less than no good if he makes a crop he can't sell."
Yates says buyers offering contracts may not represent a clear picture of market potential.
"Sometimes they come looking for new growers because the old ones have gone broke," Yates says. "Ask for references, growers who have produced the commodity for these buyers before."
And Yates suggests doing more than calling references. "Anyone who will invest from $1,000 to $2,000 per acre can afford to spend a day visiting a farmer to see firsthand if the program is working and if the market really is expanding."
He also suggests potential new-crop producers find out how promptly buyers paid bills and if their claims are reliable.
He also recommends potential growers keep their egos out of the equation. "Don't assume that you can make something work because you'll do a better job than folks who failed," he says. "Get more information."
Financial risk for vegetable production can be significant, Yates says. "With any perishable crop, a farmer has to look at all the expense he'll invest and then be prepared to take zero for his efforts. He should plant no more then he can afford to lose all his expenses on. Don't risk the rest of the operation, possibly bankruptcy, on a new enterprise."
Yates says a new crop may add significantly to an operation's overhead. "Determine if you can produce the new crop with equipment already on hand," he says. "If you have to invest in new, specialized equipment, maybe it's best to look at something else. But, if you can grow the crop with equipment on hand, you spread risks and expenses over more crops and improve profit potential."
He says management limitations may affect a growers decision to add something new. "If he has 2,000 acres of cotton and is paying his bills but not putting much aside, a grower may consider adding a few acres of vegetables. But, if he finds that the management time he spends on vegetables undermines his ability to take care of his base crop, he's jeopardized his financial foundation."
Yates says a grower must make the financial commitment to his new crop. "Someone once said: 'Always treat your lettuce like it's worth a million dollars because if you don't it won't be.'
"A grower has to make tonnage and quality, so he can't cut corners on fertility, pest management and irrigation. Make the commitment and stick with it. Be prepared to produce what the market wants."
Yates says most growers focus on production when they try new crops. And he doesn't deny that learning to make high yields of quality produce is important. "But production is the lowest priority when a farmer is getting started with vegetables. First, he has to set up marketing and management plans and then he can get his arms around production."

In spirit of the holiday's I'd like to show you some ideas for gift wrapping. Even though everyone rips through the wrapping paper in 2 seconds, presentation is everything! And I love wrapping my presents in fun and inspiring colors with trimmings that I have laying around. The two wrapped gifts below were for the winners of the Ladies Night Out Challenge and I just had to take pictures before I sent them out because I loved the way they came out.
Materials for Gift Wrapping
- Gift Wrapping Paper/Newspaper(optional)
- Buttons
- Jute Tubular Braid
- Leather Cord
The directions are pretty simple, just let you creative side run wild using trims and paper that you never thought you'd use to gift wrap! Happy Holidays!

A student's promotion status at the end of each academic year will be in one of the following two categories:
Clear Promotion means a student can proceed to the next academic year without restrictions.
Students will receive a Clear Promotion from an academic year by obtaining an average of 65% and having obtained at least a pass in each course. A weighted average based on credit hours in the Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy) program courses will be calculated for determining eligibility for promotion. Neither promotion nor graduation will be permitted if a student has a numeric grade below 50% in any course in the program.
Students completing PHAR 2102 must obtain a numeric grade of at least 70%.
Students completing PHAR 201W, 302W, 403W, or 500X must obtain a grade of PAS or PWD in each course.
Students must attain a passing grade in each elective, but these courses will not be included in calculating the student's average grade for the purposes of promotion, graduation, or academic awards.
Promotion Denied indicates Clear Promotion is not achieved at the end of each academic year.
A student with Promotion Denied status will normally be required to withdraw from the School.
A student who does not obtain a clear promotion may be permitted to repeat all or part of the academic year. If a student is required to repeat a year on the grounds of unsatisfactory performance, his or her performance in the repeated year must meet the conditions for Clear Promotion. If this standard is not met, the Committee on Undergraduate Studies may require the student to withdraw from the program.
Normally, the option to repeat a year on the grounds of academic difficulties can be offered only once during the student's Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy) program. This restriction may be waived if it has been demonstrated that the student's academic performance has been adversely affected by factors duly authenticated and acceptable to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
A student with Promotion Denied status at the end of the final academic term will not be recommended for graduation until the student's status is changed to Clear Promotion.

In Their Own Words
"I try to help students become aware of how much there is out there in any given field. In the orchestration courses I teach, I have a listening list, and students take an exam based on that listening list at some point during the semester. The list is long; it might be a hundred pieces or more. I don't really expect them to know all hundred pieces in one semester, but nonetheless, any one of those pieces can end up on the test. There is a sense in which it is asking too much—to be able to identify any of the pieces from 30-second excerpts."
"On the other hand, if students take the assignment seriously and listen to half a dozen to a dozen pieces a day—just getting to know some of the themes in the piece—perhaps they will realize what they may have thought was a lake of music is really an ocean, or several oceans. Music is a vast universe. This realization can be overwhelming, but it can also be completely exhilarating."
"If students come into my courses without an insatiable curiosity for music, I hope that they leave with it. I had a teacher instill that in me when I was a student, and it's made all the difference. It's the way I live my life. I have an intense desire to find out about music I do not know, to read books I have not read, to discover places I have not been."

We inspect providers across education, children's services and further education and skills and tell you what we find in our inspection reports.
The type of inspection will determine such things as:
A typical inspection has one or more inspectors visiting a provider to find out about them. The inspection will follow a framework and report on particular aspects of the provision.
After the inspection we tell you what we find out in our inspection reports. We publish these reports on our website, and in some cases the provider has to provide the report on request.
The content of a report will depend on the type of inspection. An inspection report will describe the provider, then go on to tell you about our inspection findings and judgements with the grades given by the inspector.
There are several possible reasons why a provider has closed.
Common ones for early years and childcare providers are:
Common ones for childminder agencies are:
For further information go to Annex A in the early years and childcare registration handbook and Information for parents about Ofsted's role in regulating childcare.
If a school is marked as 'closed' on the Ofsted website it may have become an academy. New academies are added to the website monthly. Once the new academy provision is on the website the academy and closed provider will be linked to each other under 'providers at the same postcode' on the provider page.
From 15 December 2013 the following conditions apply.
A provider that closed prior to 15 December 2013 will remain on the website for three years from the date it closed except where:
A provider that closed after 15 December 2013 will remain on the website for five years from the date it closed.

About David Hilliard
Drawing from his personal life, David Hilliard photographs lush and vivid panoramas. Often staging his scenes, Hilliard presents his works in triptychs—both horizontal and vertical—that capture intimate scenes of human life from slightly varied angles or at different moments. Humans in the natural environment are an especial point of fascination for the artist, along with wistful scenes of domestic life—solitary subjects ironing clothing in the nude or gazing out the window. Despite the intimacy of his scenes, Hilliard asserts: "I still don't feel like I'm ever in a moment. I always feel like I'm a spectator."

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh criticized President Trump and his ongoing feud with NFL players on his radio show Wednesday.
Limbaugh believes it is the NFL owners' job to control their employees, not the President. The radio show host says that players who kneel are disrespecting the flag and anthem and that their actions are affecting the league's business.
"And you can see what's happening to TV numbers. You can see what's happening to sales of tickets and memorabilia," Limbaugh said. "The NFL's in a world of hurt right now, and it's the people who play the game who are doing the primary damage: The players."
But Limbaugh isn't a fan of the President's approach to the issue.
"I am very uncomfortable with the president of the United States being able to dictate the behavior and power of anybody. That's not where this should be coming from," Limbaugh said. "Trump is continually tweeting — I know what he's doing, and I understand why he's doing it, and his motives are pure; don't misunderstand."
The host continued saying, "I don't think that it is useful or helpful for any employee anywhere to be forced to do something because the government says they must. That scares hell out of me."
"This should come from the league, as it looks like Goodell wants it to. The owners should be demanding this, not the president. The commissioner should be demanding this, not the president," Limbaugh said.
During a rally in Alabama last month, President Trump called for NFL players to be fired from playing if they kneel.
Last Sunday, the Vice President attended a game between the 49ers and the Colts but left before the game started after witnessing players kneel as the anthem was being played.
