Backpack Buddies will, for the second year, begin serving children at Galax Elementary, Galax Middle and Galax High on Sept. 3.
Last year, Backpack Buddies, a program designed to feed children over the weekend that may go hungry, served 172 Galax children throughout the school year.
Backpack Buddies is a new, national, community-based program with about 150 organizations in the country that help provide nutritious, non-perishable meals and healthy snacks to children in need.
The organization that began in Galax last year relies heavily on volunteers and local donors.
Organizer Alison Bolen said the organization has $7,500 to start off the school year, but funds will go quickly.
Donations are tax-deductible, and checks may be made payable to Galax Presbyterian Church c/o Backpack Buddies Program and sent to the church at P.O. Box 2, Galax, Va. 24333.
All donations go towards purchasing food for these children.
For more information, call 233-5011.

Interviews with Nutritional Experts: Health Risks from Processed Foods and Trans Fats: Part II
Interview with Dr. Mary Enig
as interviewed by Richard A. Passwater PhD
Mary G. Enig, PH.D., a nutritionist widely known for her research on the nutritional aspects of fats and oils, is a consultant, clinician, and the Director of the Nutritional Sciences Division of Enig Associates, Inc., Silver Spring, Maryland. She received her PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1984, taught a graduate course in nutrient- drug interactions for the University's Graduate Program in Nutritional Sciences, and held a Faculty Research Associateship from 1984 through 1991 with the Lipids Research Group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Dr. Enig is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and a member of the American Institute of Nutrition. Her many years of experience as a "bench chemist" in the analysis of food fats and oils, provides a foundation for her active roles in food labeling and composition issues at the federal and state levels.
Dr. Enig is a Consulting Editor to the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" and formerly served as a Contributing Editor to "Clinical Nutrition." She has published 14 scientific papers on the subject of food fats and oils, several chapters on nutrition for books, and presented over 35 scientific papers on food and nutrition topics. She is the President of the Maryland Nutritionists Association, past President of the Coalition of Nutritionists of Maryland and was appointed by the Governor in 1986 to the Maryland State Advisory Council on Nutrition and served as the Chairman of the Health Subcommittee until the Council was disbanded in 1988.
Last month we talked mostly about what trans fats (TFAs) were, how they interfere with "machinery" of our normal cell biology and that they are a recent and unnatural intrusion into our diets. In Part II, we will look into the health problems caused by TFAs, and in Part III, Dr. Enig will put the research on TFAs and other fats in perspective and give us her thoughts on the pluses and negatives of the Health Food Industry as seen from academia.
You mentioned the your research was stimulated by the early investigations of Drs. Fred Kummerow, George Mann and Edward Pinckney. What did you set out to investigate and what have others added to these findings?
Much of the Trans- Fatty Acid (TFA) research that was accomplished at the University of Maryland from 1977 to today was done to answer some very basic questions. For example, we wanted to know how much TFAs people were being exposed to. So during some of the early research, we measured the amounts of TFAs in typical U. S. foods and then estimated the amounts in various diets and in the food supply.
The next set of efforts was done to measure the effects that feeding diets containing physiologically relevant amounts of TFAs to laboratory animals had on some reproductive and lactation functions, on the alteration of membrane properties, and on the consequent alteration of enzyme functions that had physiological importance. These different efforts were measured by our research group, and many of our findings, e. g., that the enzyme functions were adversely affected, were repeated by various other research groups. It is hard to tell sometimes if we were repeating the findings of others or if others were repeating our findings. I think it is safe to say that the research was invariably reproducible as long as the same animal model and the same amount of TFAs were used. In other words, our findings were real and other researchers could easily find the same thing.
A number of research groups were able to use some of our basic findings, and many of the researchers were using their own models and their research was providing information that was parallel and complementary to ours. In many instances, the other research teams had access to better funding and models that we did not have at the University of Maryland.
One research group at Auburn University examined diets of adolescent girls and directly measured the TFAs in their diets by laboratory analytical methods.
[16, 17]
They found that approximately two- thirds of the TFAs in the diets of these adolescents could be predicted by the food composition data in our 1983 research paper for 220 foods. This is rather remarkable since their research was done in another part of the country. It does show the similarity of many of the same types of partially hydrogenated fats in diets across the U. S.
A research group at Louisiana State University studied, among other things, the effects of TFAs on what is called "the second messenger," cyclic AMP and the digitalis receptor.
They found that TFAs affected both.
Still another research group, this one at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, studied the effect of TFAs on bone development.
[19, 20]
Their research showed some very undesirable effects! AS far as I know, the latter two groups who were finding important effects have not been able to continue because of lack of funds for TFA research. Their efforts were done independent of our concerns and findings but parallel to our efforts.
There have been a number of other research efforts that have been given widespread publicity. These include the published findings from Dr. Martijn Katan's lab in Holland that the TFAs lower the "good" High- Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and raise the "bad" lipoprotein [a] (Lpa) which is atherogenic.
Also, the published findings from Dr. Walter Willett's research at Harvard on 85,000 nurses, as well as other prospective studies, have showed that those people who consumed the most TFAs had the most heart disease.
Dr. Willett's group also has preliminary, as yet unpublished, data that those individuals who developed breast and prostate cancer had higher intakes of TFAs. These findings have been presented at scientific meetings by Dr. Willett and his staff.
I have recently prepared a technical report which includes additional information that would normally not be found in typical scientific reviews.
This information is of special interest to many in the food industry and the regulatory agencies. The report identifies all of the different research groups that have been working on TFAs around the world over the past 60 years.
I remember how the processed food industry tried to suppress your early research. As Rodney Leonard, the editor of Nutrition Week noted, you fought tenaciously to bring out the truth and were "a burr under the saddle of the [processed food] industry and the government, persistently challenging the contention that the health threat of trans fatty acids is overplayed and that the current level of consumption poses no threat to public health." Most of those who were skeptical then have examined the steady stream of new data and now agree with you that TFAs are a major health threat. How were you able to keep on? What techniques were used against you and how did you overcome them? Where did you find moral and scientific support?
As you know from some of our past conversations, we ran into some strong challenges from certain segments of the edible oil industry regarding our findings. In addition to writing several articles to "refute" our findings, and seeing to it that our major reports did not get properly referenced, those individuals who actively opposed our research were able to influence funding sources. Gradually though, other researchers started to realize that we were correct and appropriately conservative in our approach to research, and consequently, most of the "bad- mouthing" that we encountered has backfired.
Yes, I remember well how we were both encountering difficulties with "the establishment." I am happy to note, as you well know, that the same is happening regarding my findings regarding vitamin E and the prevention of heart disease, and of the antioxidant nutrients in the prevention of cancer. We never did get the funding needed to further pursue our research.
You're right. At the University of Maryland we never did get the type of funding that you need to receive to continue the level of research that would have been desirable, but what funding we did receive was carefully managed and many of the people in our research group were dedicated to the research.
I think we found moral support because we knew we were scientifically correct, and ultimately the scientific support came as other researchers started to evaluate the problems without having certain industry people set up their research protocol. AS you realize from your years of involvement in research, good research properly done is always reproducible, if all the variables are the same, but it is also possible for unscrupulous individuals to set up a research protocol designed to obfuscate, and if that gets published, it keeps other good researchers from continuing to work in the area. Frequently, those individuals who are coopted write their summary and abstract the way the industry wants them to, but they usually leave their data intact so that a knowledgeable researcher can recognize the inconsistency. However, it is a very time- consuming task to constantly challenge each piece of misinformation that you see.
Yes, it is a difficult task, but you and I give it our best shots. In the past we did a lot of challenging others to prove us wrong, and now we can smile a lot.
Our work is not done yet! There is still much to do.
Right again! How big is the problem with TFAs? How extensive are trans fats in our modern diets, and how does this compare to ancient diets and other diets around the world.
Today the levels of TFAs vary around the world from practically zero to levels much like those found in our foods in the U. S. It depends on how much partially hydrogenated vegetable fats or partially hydrogenated marine oils are present in the food supply.
Without the commercial partial hydrogenation process, as would have been the case more than a hundred years ago, the levels of TFAs in diets would be relatively low. Only the ruminant fats would have supplied any, and the types of isomers that are found in the ruminant fats behave in a very different way from those found in the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Additionally, the research shows that the TFAs are more of a problem when the level of saturated fat is low. Diets that are higher in ruminant fats are also higher in saturated fats. Most ruminant fats have about 2- 3% TFAs whereas the partially hydrogenated vegetable fats are commonly 30- 40% and as high as 53% in foods in this country.
After analyzing hundreds of food samples for TFAs, chemically analyzing food composites, and calculating dietary information, I am confident that there are many people in this country who consume 20% of the total fat in their diet as TFAs. On average though, 10.9% is the number we came up with when we looked at all of the published analyses. The typical french fried potatoes are around 40% TFAs, and many popular cookies and crackers range from 30 to 50% TFAs, and every donut I have analyzed has about 35 to 40% TFAs. Since these are all fairly high fat products, someone who eats a lot of these types of foods will get a large amount of TFAs. Several years ago, we documented nearly 60 grams of TFAs in someone's typical daily diet.
Wow! I hope that's no one I know. Dr. Enig, you mentioned that TFAs are atherogenic - - that is they cause atherosclerosis. Then you mention that TFAs are more of a problem when saturated fats are low. Yet most people fear saturated fats because they have been told that it is the saturated fats that cause heart disease.
You are recognized as a leading expert on fats and oils, do saturated fats cause heart disease?
The idea that saturated fats cause heart disease is completely wrong, but the statement has been "published" so many times over the last three or more decades that it is very difficult to convince people otherwise unless they are willing to take the time to read and learn what all the economic and political factors were that produced the anti- saturated fat agenda.
Periodically, various reports have come out that show the inconsistencies in the theory. You have already discussed this with the well- known cholesterol and lipids researcher, Dr. David Kritchevsky of the Wistar Institute.
In 1977, Dr. Kritchevsky noted that it did not make any difference what kind of fat was added to the whole foods diets in animal studies - - only when the diets were very unnatural chemically could changes be brought about - - and from study to study these changes were inconsistent.
As you frequently report, the latest theories regarding heart disease point to oxidized fats and oxidized lipoproteins as culprits. This being the case, accusations against chemically- stable, basically non- oxidizable saturated fat don't make sense. Most people who find fault with saturated fats do not really understand that our cells are busy making saturated fatty acids all the time from carbohydrates and excess protein.
Do tropical oils cause heart disease?
No they don't. Several studies have shown that there is no increase in heart disease in countries or communities where most of the fat is either coconut oil or palm oil. Palm oil that is not extensively refined has very high levels of antioxidants, and coconut oil has high levels of very useful medium chain fatty acids. There are many older research studies that showed that adding quite a bit of coconut oil to the diet of persons having high blood cholesterol reduced their level of cholesterol. Dr. George Blackburn from Harvard Medical School has written an extensive review on this topic.
It is unfortunate that this misinformation about these oils became so widespread because they are very stable oils that have unique functional properties and products made with them as the fat component usually have far less fat and therefore fewer calories. Needless to say, they would also have virtually no TFAs which are unquestionably atherogenic. When coconut oil was used in the manufacture of crackers, very little fat was added to each cracker, but the crackers did not become stale before they could be purchased. Now the fat- free crackers become very stale very quickly, and the crackers made with the more unsaturated oils are higher in fat and are greasy or they appear drier because they are made with the high- temperature melting partially hydrogenated oils. Deep fried foods made in these oils never absorb quite as much fat as they do when they are fried with the more unsaturated oils.
Speaking of deep fried french fries, I notice that the Community Nutrition Institute is pleading with McDonald's to go back to their old cooking oil, an animal tallow. CNI cited higher risks of coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, and low birth- weight babies due to the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil that McDonald's has been using since 1990.
Yes, when I analyzed the oils, I found that the percentage of fat that was saturated fat in their french fries dropped from 49% to 24% when McDonald's switched from animal tallow to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. But the percentage of fat that was TFAs rose from 5% to 42- 48%. McDonald's own study showed that the total amount of fat in its fries rose from 17.6% to 27.9% Recently, McDonald's has again switched to an oil that has cut the TFAs in half. But, those who insist on eating french fries were better off when the beef tallow was used.
Why were earlier researchers misled about saturated fats and heart disease?
The simplistic, abbreviated story of how some of the anti- saturated fat rhetoric got started and then took a strangle hold, is that when laboratory animals were fed semi- purified and artificially saturated (fat) diets, the animals actually became deficient in essential fatty acids. As a result, these animals developed lesions that were incorrectly defined as the equivalent of heart disease. This "research" was touted as showing an effect of "saturated" fat. Then when Dr. Ancel Keys of the University of Minnesota reported that hydrogenated fats were responsible for heart disease
, the response from the threatened edible oil industry was to claim that it was only the saturated fats that were the culprits, and that the industry would get rid of the problem by only partially hydrogenating the oils. From that point on, the saturated fats stood "guilty as accused," even though study after study showed that there was no relationship between saturated fat intake and the development of heart disease.
In fact, some of the studies showed that there was less progression of the disease process when the saturated component was higher.
Usually the proponents of the lipid hypothesis managed to squelch the effect of these reports. Of course the partially hydrogenated oils were really very little different in saturated fat level than the fats and oils that had been called "hydrogenated," but the public and the media and many of the naive researchers didn't know that.
As time went on, the whole heart disease agenda became a multi- million dollar business that was benefiting the researchers funded by the part of the National Institutes of Health that deals with heart disease, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The only people not benefiting were and are the consumers who are continuing to get more and more heart disease at higher and higher costs. The consumer may not be dying from heart disease as often as they were 30 years ago, but they are undergoing more surgery such as by- pass and angioplasty, and they are swallowing more expensive cholesterol- lowering drugs. All in all, while the so- called mortality figures have decreased, the incidence has greatly increased.
Of course, the ill- trained consumer activist groups have added to the problem by continuing to publish their own misinterpretations of the science, and this in turn, is further publicized in the media.
Well, I see that you haven't backed off and cow- towed to the consensus pseudo- scientists that form opinions without looking closely at the data. I would like you to explain the real facts and their proper interpretation for the benefit of our readers. So let's look at fats and cholesterol, TFAs and the obesity trigger, and your thoughts on helping the Health Food Industry in Part III.

Do's and Don'ts when helping a smoker quit.
Do respect that the quitter is in charge. This is their lifestyle change and their challenge, not yours.
Do ask the person whether he or she wants you to ask regularly how he or she is doing. Let the person know that it's OK to talk to you whenever he or she needs to hear encouraging words.
Do help the quitter get what she or he needs, such as hard candy to suck on, straws to chew on, and fresh veggies cut up and kept in the refrigerator.
Do spend time doing things with the quitter to keep his or her mind off smoking -- go to the movies, take a walk to get past a craving (what many call a "nicotine fit"), or take a bike ride together.
Do try to see it from the smoker's point of view -- a smoker's habit may feel like an old friend that has always been there when times were tough. It's hard to give that up.
Do make your home smoke free, meaning that no one can smoke in any part of the house. Remove lighters and ash trays from your home.
Do help the quitter with a few chores, some child care, cooking -- whatever will help lighten the stress of quitting.
Do celebrate along the way. Quitting smoking is a BIG DEAL!
Don't doubt the smoker's ability to quit. Your faith in them reminds them they can do it.
Don't judge, nag, preach, tease, or scold. This may make the smoker feel worse about him or herself. You don't want your loved one to turn to a cigarette to soothe hurt feelings.
Don't take the quitter's grumpiness personally during his or her nicotine withdrawal. The symptoms usually pass in about 2 weeks.
Don't offer advice. Just ask how you can help with the plan or program they are using.
If your ex-smoker "slips"
Don't assume that he or she will start back smoking like before. A "slip" (taking a puff or smoking a cigarette or two) is pretty common when a person is quitting.
Do remind the quitter how long he or she went without a cigarette before the slip.
Do help the quitter remember all the reasons he or she wanted to quit, and forget about the slip as soon as possible.
Don't scold, tease, nag, or make the quitter feel guilty. Be sure the quitter knows that you care about him or her whether or not he or she smokes.
If your quitter relapses
Research shows that most people try to quit smoking several times before they succeed. (It's called a relapse when smokers go back to smoking like they were before they tried to quit.) If a relapse happens, think of it as practice for the time he or she will succeed. Don't give up your efforts to encourage and support your loved one. If the person you care about fails to quit or starts smoking again:
Do praise him or her for trying to quit, and for whatever length of time (days, weeks, or months) of not smoking.
Do encourage him or her to try again. Don't say, "If you try again..." Say, "When you try again..." Studies show that most people who don't succeed in quitting are ready to try again in the near future.
Do encourage him or her to learn from the attempt. Things a person learns from a failed attempt to quit may help him or her quit for good next time. It takes time and skills to learn to be a non-smoker.
Do say, "It's normal to not succeed the first few times you try to quit. Most people understand this, and know that they have to try to quit again. You didn't smoke for (length of time) this time. Now you know you can do that much. You can get even further next time."

Helping A Smoker Quit

Breast Cancer Treatment and Excercise
If you're going through breast cancer treatment, exercise may be one of the last things on your mind, but studies show that staying active during treatment can help ward off some common side effects of treatment, such as fatigue. Working out regularly also has profound benefits in quality-of-life post-treatment. A collaboration between the American Cancer Society in New England and Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, is looking at just how much of a difference exercise can make.
Called Moving Forward Together 2, the study pairs American Cancer Society Reach To Recovery volunteers with current breast cancer patients in a 12-week telephone-based counseling program that promotes exercise. Reach To Recovery volunteers are breast cancer survivors who are specially-trained to provide emotional support and guidance to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. This program adds exercise motivation to the equation.
The study has two arms: one group will be offered educational information about the benefits of exercise in addition to traditional Reach To Recovery services; the other will engage in moderate-intensity physical activity as well. Survivors reach out to patients by phone.
Reach To Recovery volunteer, Sally Scanlon, is among the women taking part. Scanlon, a 10-year stage II breast cancer survivor, says she saw a "huge benefit" from upping her physical activity after her own diagnosis. She's seen other women find similar benefits through exercise.
"The woman I was counseling was going through some difficult family situations on top of going through treatment. While she was waiting for her mother at the nursing home, she would get on the treadmill. You could just see what a stress release exercising had become for her," Scanlon says.
Participating in the program has also helped Scanlon keep her own exercise program on track.
"I thought, 'She's exercising, and she's going through chemo!'", Scanlon says.

Cancer Survivor Serves Community
Dorothea Amey of Moorpark leads an active life. Married and having raised two sons, she was a public school teacher and later an educator with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and a missionary in Zimbabwe and Zambia. In retirement, she is still active with the Camarillo Adventist church and works in "the Pantry," the church's outreach arm to those who need food and household items when times are tough.
Amey also was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She's an eight-year survivor.
"I was working at Pacific Union College in Napa Valley and one day I became jaundiced and kind of itchy," said Amey, now 66. "I went to the hospital and they thought it was hepatitis," she said. Further tests revealed the cancer.
"We knew that most people don't survive more than six months," Amey said. "But I believe that good medicine and my faith in the Lord, has sustained me," she said. "I'm a happy person and truly I don't think about cancer every day. I garden and I do my own housework. I live my life."
Amey underwent a complex and life-altering surgery called a "Whipple" and went through chemotherapy. The Whipple procedure is the most common surgery for pancreatic cancer and involves removal of the head of the pancreas, a portion of the bile duct, the gallbladder, and the duodenum.
Amey's life is filled with opportunities to serve and she says that's what drives her. "I've been all over the world and I've seen so many things," she said. "That has given me a lot of peace."
As of three years ago, her doctor has found no cancer in Amey's body. "Dr. (William) Isacoff at UCLA is a leader in this field, in pancreatic cancer. He gives people hope when many don't have it," said Amey.
In January, Isacoff told Amey she no longer needed chemotherapy, though she'll continue to have blood tests and scans because pancreatic cancer is always in the blood stream. It can show up at any time.
"Chemo is no walk in the park," said Amey's husband, Gene. "It wears her down, but she does OK."
Amey also talks to patients at UCLA's hospital and takes phone calls from around the nation from cancer patients, offering words of encouragement. "I'm certainly focused on my faith walk, but I don't push that on people. They're so fearful, they just need someone to relate to and I do that," Amey said.
It is her work with the pantry that Amey loves most.
"I consider myself a cheerleader for the group," Amey said. "We have between 300 and 400 people that are fed each week. It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done," she said. "With the economy as it is, it's been very busy, but we have our successes, too."
Amey teared up as she described one woman who was living in her car and came to the pantry.
"She came in one day to tell us she didn't need us anymore, that she had an apartment and a job and she left some money with us as a donation," said Amey. "It was incredible."
"When (Amey) comes in, she does whatever needs to be done," said Milly Johnson, director of the pantry. "As a missionary, she learned to dig in and do the hard work. It's in her personality. It's part of her makeup."
"She's been on an amazing journey," said Pastor Dennis Stirewalt of Camarillo Seventh-day Adventist Church. "She's a fighter and a lady of real grace.

The Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) and Information Today, Inc. have announced that the prestigious Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) will cease publication following the release of Volume 45 (2011). As the hardcover series ends its 45-year run, shorter, tightly focused review articles will begin appearing in The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST), also published by ASIS&T.
ARIST has a long and proud history, from its debut in 1966 with Carlos Cuadra as editor and supported by the Systems Development Corporation and the National Science Foundation, Office of Science Information Service, through 20+ volumes edited by Martha E. Williams, to the 10 most recent volumes edited by Blaise Cronin and Debora Shaw, from 2001 to 2011. Information Today, Inc. has published the series on behalf of ASIS&T since 1991, Volume 26.
"This was an agonizing decision by the ASIS&T Publications Strategic Planning Committee and the board, especially since Information Today, Inc. was willing to continue," said Gary Marchionini, ASIS&T President. "The emotional and intellectual attachment to a printed ARIST was outweighed by a consensus of where scholarly communication is going and by the desire for instant online access by readers and authors. Once the ASIS&T Board accepted the future scenario for scholarly publishing and research, the decision followed to discontinue separate ARIST publication before the esteemed ARIST series was affected."
JASIST Editor Blaise Cronin commented, "Having read ARIST for almost 30 years and edited it for the last 10, I am sad to see the serial come to an end, mindful of the author/reader shifts that led to the decision, and consequently very much committed to developing a high-quality review section in the pages of JASIST for ASIS&T members and others."
ARIST Volumes 38 (2003) through 44 (2010) are available from Information Today, Inc. at http://books.infotoday.com/asist/, as will be Volume 45 beginning in Fall 2010. The working Table of Contents for Volume 45 can be viewed at http://www.asis.org/Publications/ARIST/vol45.php.

Climate-change-induced wildfires may alter Yellowstone forests
Climate change in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem will increase the frequency of wildfires and alter the composition of the forests by 2050, according to a team of ecologists who modeled the effects of higher temperatures on fire occurrence. "We are following the long-term effects of fire in the Yellowstone area and encountering some lessons and surprises that challenge the way we think about fire in the area," said Erica A. H. Smithwick, assistant professor of geography and ecology in Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, and principle investigator on the project. "Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the world and is now a wonderful natural laboratory for studying natural processes."

Synopsis by Steve Press
Robert Ryan plays Jim Wilson, a tough police detective embittered by years of dealing with low-life urban scum, in Nicholas Ray's moving film noir. After severely beating several suspects, Jim is assigned to a case far from the city to find the killer of a young girl. Joining the manhunt, in snow-covered terrain, Wilson finds himself paired with the victim's father, Walter Brent (Ward Bond), who plans to shoot the killer himself. When the two men come upon a cabin occupied by Mary Malden (Ida Lupino), a blind woman who is also the killer's sister, Wilson's life is changed forever. Mary, a generous and loving person who has cared for her mentally ill brother Danny (Sumner Williams) since the death of their parents, convinces Wilson to protect Danny from Brent. Wilson also promises to get help for Danny if he surrenders to him. Inspired by Mary's courage and recognizing Brent's rage as the mirror image of his own, Wilson gains the insight to free himself from his own blindness. The film includes a memorable score by Alfred Hitchcock favorite Bernard Herrmann.

EU doneert €100 miljoen voor noodhulp Syrië (en)
European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 29 January 2013
Syrian crisis: EU pledges €100 million for humanitarian aid
The European Commission will pledge €100 million of humanitarian funding at the International Pledging Conference for Syria convened by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and hosted by Kuwait on 30 January. This funding, to be disbursed in 2013, will add to the €100 million already contracted for the crisis in 2011/2012, bringing the Commission's humanitarian funding for the crisis to €200 million.
In view of the catastrophic humanitarian situation and the growing needs both within Syria and in the neighbouring countries, these vital funds will provide assistance to some of the 4 million people in need of aid in Syria, including two million displaced, as well as to 700,000 refugees to date.
Prior to her departure for the Conference, Kristalina Georgieva, the European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, said:
"This additional €100 million is desperately needed . People inside Syria are cold, hungry and scared. Those who have managed to cross the borders often arrive with no more than the clothes on their backs. Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq must be praised for their generosity towards refugees fleeing Syria, but the flow is ever-increasing and these countries need more support.
At the conference in Kuwait, I will also reiterate the need to respect International Humanitarian Law and to apply humanitarian principles at all times when delivering assistance. This is the only way to reach the largest number of people in need.
This funding is a concrete expression of the unwavering solidarity of Europeans with all those affected by the Syrian crisis. I can only hope that this will encourage additional pledges from the EU Member States and the rest of the international community. Funding is key in avoiding a further deterioration of this massive humanitarian crisis. "
The additional funds will cover the top priority needs in Syria and neighbouring countries: emergency medical response, with both medical and psycho-social care to the wounded and the traumatized (in particular children); provision of food and safe water; provision of shelter, registration and thus protection of refugees. Medicine will also be provided to limit drugs shortages and sanitation systems will be built or repaired to avoid waterborne diseases. Help will continue to be provided to the displaced and refugees - who often arrive destitute - as well as to their host communities, whose resources are exhausted.
The assistance will be channelled through the European Commission's humanitarian partners: UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and international non-governmental organisations.
The consequences of the crisis for the civilian population are grave. Over the last six months of 2012, the number of civilian casualties has more than doubled (+126%). According to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the violence has led to the killing of over 60,000 men, women and children, including some deliberately targeted.
The consequences for the humanitarian situation in Syria and in the refugee camps in the neighbouring countries are most serious, with an increasing numbers of people being displaced both internally and across borders. The most recent working figures from the United Nations give an estimated number of 4 million people in need of assistance, including 2 million displaced in Syria, and over 700,000 refugees in neighbouring countries.
These recent developments have led the United Nations to issue on 19 December two revised appeals for January-June 2013: the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan for USD 519.6 million and the Regional Refugee Plan for USD 1 billion. Compared to the previous versions of these plans, these new requests for a total of USD 1.52 billion represent an increase of 82%.
The first high-level International Pledging Conference for Syria will take place in Kuwait on 30 January. It will be hosted by the Emir of Kuwait, His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah, and chaired by the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon and attended by Representatives from UN Member States who have contributed humanitarian funding for the Syrian crisis, UN agencies and non-governmental organizations. The one-day conference will provide an opportunity to scale up the much-needed humanitarian response to the Syrian crisis.

Dear Team Purple:
In case you can't tell by the massive picture o beauty, ya'll are still in NZ, Middle Earth, land of the Kiwi, and home of the Orcs. While I watch and sift through all these photos of where I wish I was right now, I let some ladies you know…..well, one of you knows well, take over and bring some fresh perspective and thoughts of your last epidsode of the Biggest Loser. The ladies of course, are from that one site about that one book and that one guy, you know the one.
I am entirely
too exhausted from the slave driver's at work envious of your BL "vacay" in beauty land to manage blogging another night. And really, who doesn't love reading what these two ladies bring? We all know UC & MOON really know how to "Break it Down". So, on with it:
Hannah jumps off a cliff
UC: First of all: full confession but I missed last week's episode. So this is odd…. to me.. where in California do they throw you over a cliff? On a plastic chair> Is this a red-neck activity up there in northern Cali? Aren't they supposed to be all refined & crap?
Moon: This is the new ride at Universal Studios: California's Redneck Adventures. After they got rid of the Back to the Future ride (tragedy!!) it all went downhill. Now they give you a PBR and a trucker hat with every admission. They also moved Universal Studios to the east side of Los Angeles where I live with all the hipsters who enjoy the irony of this. Sad times.
UC: okay- wait.. newsflash UC. You know where they are…. NEW ZEALAND! I saw the pics on Olivia's fb page
UC: Hannah looks AMAZING. I want to do that! I mean. Not at all. But kinda.
Moon: If by "do that" you mean wear spandex on national television than count me the HALE out. Snaps to the girls for rocking the 'dex in front of God and everyone.
UC: More confession time: I usually find myself eating the worst possible meal while watching Biggest Loser. And then feeling really guilty because while Olivia only gets to eat like 1,000 calories a day, I'm chowing down on a 1,000 calorie burrito or plate of nachos.
Tonight I'm okay though- I made a homemade pizza with broccoli. It just has a little bit of cheese. So It's all good. Until I eat half of it because Mr. choice isn't home to stop me
Moon: THANK GOD!!! I thought I was the only one who made homemade mac n cheese or pasta and butter or nachos and settled in to watch Olivia and the gang push a truck around the ranch while Jillian RIDES one of the contestants like a show pony.
UC: [side note Nice green screen Bob. Nice everything Bob. All the time. Stupid lucky man (or men) in his life]
(Editor's Note: This is where I insert gratuitous pics of #HotBOB, but the pics won't stay put here. UGHHH -J)
Rulon & Olivia training with Bob:
UC: WHOA… other stuff i missed… Rulon wanted O to go home last week?? ugh UGH… blacklisted! that means nothing cuz he was never on any sort of list. but I will NEVER get teary-eyed when I hear his sad life stories ever again! NO WAY Rulon!
Moon: WHATEVER RULON!!!! I will never salute you or your Olympic Medal again or think you're a sweet guy with wrestler/califluor ears. You are officially on notice for trying to get the (real) O off the show. JERK!
The one where they all have to row
UC: Seriously? Allison (Ali?) is in a WINTER PARKA and they have to get IN that water? What is this activity called again? Water boarding? Is this what the CIA does to terrorists? ANd Olivia has to do it?
Moon: I'm pretty sure Biggest Loser is just a government cover up for a CIA training program they're trying to mask as a "game show" so that we all get comfortable with the contestants and would NEVER think they're actually special ops who kick ass on the side. Allison Sweeny is the Agent M of the group and Bob is the Bosley.
UC: [SIDE NOTE: All Aboard with Bob I jumped onto NBC's biggest loser page to read why Courtney isn't there (SAD! Apparently I've missed more than 1 episode. Oops) and what do I see!? ALL ABOARD WITH BOB & this amazing image:
Seriously? A CRUISE with BOB? Will Olivia be there to do my hair & make-up every day? I hope. ]
Moon: No, but Jillian will be there to ride you around the Lido deck. Also do you wonder if they have the midnight chocolate buffet or the all-you-can eat Mexican Fiesta night like most cruises or is it granola and egg whites while Bob teaches the proper way to comb your hair over into the perfect Don Draper bang swoop?
Okay back to the race:
UC: This race is so exciting I even put down my third piece of Pizza YAY!!!!! OLIVIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO one can send our girl home this week!!! Plus she gets a helicopter tour no one gives a crap about!
Moon: What they really want is a tour of middle earth! HELLO! Who doesn't want to visit where the shot Lord of the Rings and imagine dancing with the Hobbits in the shire and defeating an army of Orcs (read: Rulons) for the ONE RING (aka smaller waist size).
Helicopter tour
UC: Okay. That's pretty. Maybe it is kinda a big deal. Plus there's the bonding time for sisters. Oh and there go the waterworks again. Damn you biggest loser. Also danngggg diamonds in Obird's ears. Are they from Bob? I hope.
Moon: Wait, is that an army of Rulons I see down there?! KILL THEM! Or throw out a few thousand bags of chips that will handle him. ALLEGEDLY (according to the not so secret hidden camera footage).
The Weigh In
UC: I'm SOO glad O has immunity. I couldn't handle the pressure this week. I'm a wreck enough for Hannah. I can't handle both of them. (PS sidenote, I gasp at ALL the high & low numbers they flash up there thinking the scale will stop that high or that low. I sound like a major loser. Okay, carry on)
NINETY THREE POUNDS LOST. Dang girl. DANG!!!!!
Moon: I get really annoyed at the weigh in's because it's not like THAT'S an actual scale. They didn't tote the world's largest trucker weigh station scale out to the side of a mountain in New Zealand. They weigh them off camera. UGH. But I do love the theatrics! OMG 135!? Did someone actually lose 50 pounds in one week? Oh wait, it's 203… no it's 178… DANG IT JUST TELL ME!!
UC: I'm just gonna say it. And I'm gonna mean it. I HOPE RULON GOES HOME.
Moon: You mean the leader of the Orcs?
UC: UGHHHH I Spoke too soon. He lost 10 pound? GRRR
Moon: Dang it the chip drop sabotage from the helicopter didn't work?! Foiled again!
UC: I will not speak until Hannah weighs in.
UC: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… This is not her week. This is not her week. Oh there you go Olivia.. Being encouraging, making me cry. I'm officially scared for anyone who votes for Hannah to go home. Olivia might stab them in their sleep with her eyeliner pencil!!!!
Moon: If she uses the MAC pencil you KNOW she means business. That ish ain't cheap yall! I think I see it in her hand behind her back…
UC: TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!!! If I promise to shop at Kohls & eat Wholly Guacamole, do you think Obird can get them to knock off the commercials? I'll even take more product placement because it's just funny watching the girls pretend they love subway sandwiches as much as they make it seem like they do.
Moon: What about the Biggest Losers prepackaged meal plan and Bob's Quaker Oatmeal ("Quaker Oatmeal is how I start my day!" Sure Bob!) and the many appearances by host of the brand new season of NBC/Universal/Bravo's Top Chef CURTIS STONE!? Ok, ok Curtis can stay. Cause he's hot. I'd leg wrestle Hannah for him.
The waterworks
UC: I can't see the keyboard so I can't type anything right now. BRB while I go rob a tissue store. Hannah can't go home. Can't. CAN'T!!!!!!
Moon: Dude her and whats his name are killing me. His whole story and the secret issues and all that. WAHHH!
UC: Olivia should have been a counselor. I mean, she's a pretty darn good singer too, but seriously- she's such a soothing speaker & encourager.
UC: Phew. Hannah is safe. Although I feel so sad. THis show sucks. I watch TV to be entertained. Not to cry & be uplifted. Dammit BIggest Loser. Dammit.
Moon: Next week on "We're trying our hardest to make you cry…" Someone is reunited with their biological parents, a long lost brother is found, the cure for cancer is discovered and a children's choir sings song of peace. CAN'T WAIT!!
So, yes, the ladies have the same problem that Lula and I have every week. Too many tears to type, not enough patience to deal with Rulon, and an affinity for #HotBOB. It's nice to know that we're all "NORMAL".
Loves and Hugs,
Jane, Lula, UC and MOON
PS Sometimes I steal blog concepts from these girls who write letters….they love me through it.

What Makes a Link Target a Bullseye?
There can be a substantial expense of time and resources involved with getting some really good links. A lot of the best methods take a long time and a lot of effort. So if you're going to bend over backwards to go after one, you better be sure that getting it is worth risking a visit to the chiropractor.
We've recently discussed different ways to find potential linkers and some of the more undesirable link partners. But what are some of the factors you can use to determine what actually makes for a killer link target?

Mobile Marketing: No Longer a Tradeoff Between Reach and Targeting
Consumer marketers are naturally drawn to tactics that offer the greatest reach. Brand marketers, in particular, are reliant on distribution channels. As a result, the largest audience of possible buyers usually dictates where marketing dollars flow.
Yet a universal truth has emerged: The best return on investment (ROI) comes from targeted, personalized, and (often) one-to-one marketing methods.

3 YouTube Advertising Options for Small Businesses
Online video has gone mainstream. Thanks to sites like Hulu, Netflix, iTunes and Amazon, more people are watching full-length movies and TV shows online than ever before. But no site has the video audience of YouTube.
Consider these facts, which are from YouTube's Statistics page:

Evidence print advertising can excel as a direct marketing vehicle
In an era when proving marketing ROI is of paramount importance, it's no secret that many doubt the effectiveness of trade publications.
"Magazine advertising has this reputation that it doesn't work anymore," said Paul Feldman, publisher of InsuranceNewsNet, an insurance industry trade publication.

QR Codes - What They Are & What They Can Do for Your Business
"QR" codes are all the rage for some businesses - especially retailers. These codes have the ability to hold lots of information but in general have been used to direct people who scan them to a web page. For that reason, there are a ton of possibilities for you to incorporate using QR codes into your own business. Let me try to break it down for you.
The QR or "Quick Response" code (pictured to the right) is a code that is made up of black blobs (technical term) arranged in a square pattern on a white background. It is used by many retailers to track inventory, used by airlines to check you in at the gate, but the most exciting thing for small businesses is that these codes can help generate business!

Display, Mobile Top Priorities for Marketers
More than two-thirds of marketers (67.5%) say they plan to invest more dollars in display advertising over the next 18 months, and 59.0% plan to invest more in mobile over the same period, according to a new survey from Bizo.
Asked to rank their top 3 priorities over the next 18 months, marketers also cite paid search and SEO (55.4%), social media (48.2%), and email (31.3%).

Mail Has Power to Move Minds, Study Says
Marketing has always been about trying to anticipate consumer behavior, of course, from deciphering buying patterns to studying life cycles to deducing which discount offers work best on which age groups.
Given such efforts at prognostication, it seems only fitting that marketers are now turning to mind reading. Neuroscience technologies like eye tracking and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) appear to be shouldering their way into marketing studies with increased frequency, and as a result, mailers are learning a lot about how the brain reacts to messaging.
A recent neuroscience study conducted jointly by research firm Millward Brown, Bangor University and the United Kingdom's Royal Mail shows direct mail makes a deeper and longer-lasting impression on people's brains than digital advertising.

James Bennett, Sr was my 3rd great-grandfather. The Bennetts were well-to-do cattle ranchers in late 19th century San Saba County, Texas. Well, most of the Bennetts were cattle ranchers. James's 2nd son Thomas became a prominent physician and eventual president of the Texas Medical Association. Another son, Benjamin, tragically gained fame in another way, becoming a murder victim in 1930 New Mexico. And then there was James Bennett, Jr….
When I first began to study the Bennett Boys a few years ago, I met another Bennett researcher online who told me an interesting, but unverified story about James Bennett, Jr. The family lore states that James Bennett, Jr, known as Jim Bennett, had killed a man in San Saba in the late 1880's and escaped to Wyoming and Montana where he was involved in several bank robberies before finally being killed in a bank robbery in Glendive, Montana in the early 1900's. A regular Butch-Cassidy-and-The-Sundance-Kid sorta guy!
All very interesting and exciting, but was this just another family legend? Where was the proof?
Well, I've been looking for "the proof" for some time now, but really didn't expect to find it. 130 years tends to blur the facts, that is, if this entire story was even true….
Tonight I was researching another line from the San Saba area, the Carrolls and ran across a reference to a Carroll who had been "shot" in 1906. A Google search revealed a couple of books that outlined Texas Supreme Court rulings, and one of those rulings dealt with my Carroll murder. Pretty cool! That more detailed information allowed me to check GenealogyBank… and wow, 3 articles about my Carroll murder popped up! This is great…!
Wait a minute…I haven't researched the Bennetts in a while…a long while, actually…let me run a quickee search on GenealogyBank, using the keywords "Bennett", "San Saba" and "killed"….
This from the Dallas Morning News, dated 5 July 1889:
How exciting! After I finally got finished jumping up and down, screaming and, yes, dancing, I went to the Library of Congress' site Chronically America. This site has the San Saba newspapers 1876-1891, browsable only.
Guess what I'll be doing for the next few evening?

Adding Redmine Project Error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: Unknown column projects_count in field list
I was working on a project today for a client and after the initial research I realized that the project actually warranted an entire sub project account in Redmine. The reasoning behind this was even though the project would be using the same Ruby project code as the primary project this specific side project would need to allow access to the tickets for one of our partners. The easiest way to allow the partners accounts access to only a specific set of tickets, their own wiki, etc. would be to generate a sub Redmine project underneath of the primary Redmine project. So obviously the first thing to do was to add the project so I could start configuring it and this is where I ran into the initial issue. I received an internal server error when attempting to add the sub project within Redmine. Below I describe the issue, what I think caused the issue, and the end resolution that allowed me to start adding sub projects within Redmine again.

Anybody having troubles with their email from sales in imvu?
The past five days I've been missing some emails for sales,
along with some odd reason half are going in the right folder,
the other half going into my spam folder.
If I even get the emails at all.

UKnowKids's New Social Search Finds Children's Accounts
Modern kids interact with friends via text messages, social networking, and in-game chat. Modern parents can use tracking tools like uKnowKids to watch out for risky activity, but only if they're aware that the child has signed up for social networking. With the addition of its new social search feature, uKnowKids has addressed this problem.
To start a social search, the parent fills in some basic identifying data, starting with the child's full name, birthdate, and optionally the child's school. Parents can enter any number of email addresses used by the child, as well as the child's favorite online handle, if known.
The search takes a few minutes. When finished, it reports all public and private accounts that it found on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, Flickr, Bebo, Last.fm, Formspring, and Xbox LIVE.
The report includes a note for Facebook pointing out that your child's account should not be visible. If you do see an account under Facebook, it means the child entered a false age. You can click the "View" link to view any found account.
Of course, some of the found accounts may belong to other children with the same or similar name as yours. Clicking the "Not my child" link gets rid of those.
Creepy or Cool?
I searched for accounts belonging to my 17-year-old son and found more than I expected. My Security Watch colleagues Fahmida Rashid and Sara Yin had expressed some concern that this search could be misused. Naturally I tried misusing it, substituting their details for my son's. I had to leave his birthdate in place, as uKnowKids won't search for individuals over 18.
Fahmida's search came up totally empty. Any accounts she has must be correctly locked up, with no public visibility. But a search using Sara's data turned up a veritable bonanza of accounts: two Facebook, three Twitter, five Google+, ten LinkedIn, two Tumblr, one YouTube, three Foursquare, one Flickr, one Bebo, and one Last.fm. The only ones not represented were Formspring and Xbox LIVE.
Of course, many of these belonged to other users with similar names, but I recognized the profile picture in several of them.
Public Information Only
It's worth noting that this search does not reveal an non-public information. You can view public profiles it finds, or view the public portion of any private profiles. That's it. Parents can use this information as a teachable moment, encouraging the kids to make those accounts private. SafetyWeb works in much the same way, reporting only what's public.
Parents who want to actively monitor social networking accounts need the child's cooperation. They must either log in with the child's credentials or have the child log in and accept the uKnowKids app for Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Of course the child could uninstall the app at any time, so buy-in on the child's part is essential.

melo diogo's Blog
TAMPA, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez is back on the field for the first time since surgery on his left hip almost four months ago.
He joined a group of injured New York Yankees starters Monday at the team's minor league complex.Cartier Love Bracelet The 37-year-old third baseman ran, played catch and hit off a tee.
Rodriguez said it's "like being 8 years old again when I first grabbed a bat." He added it's "pretty exciting" and he's "really looking forward to getting back."
Rodriguez had surgery Jan. 16 and could return to the Yankees after the All-Star break. A surgeon repaired a torn labrum and impingement in the operation in New York.
"It feels good to be back out in uniform," Rodriguez said. "It's been a rough stretch with the rehab, obviously. It's small bites at a time."
Rodriguez is currently taking part in a 30-day rehab schedule setup by his doctors and team officials.
"We're taking it four weeks at a time," Rodriguez said. "Today is one of 30."
The upbeat A-Rod signed autographs and took photos with around 40 fans waiting for him outside the player's parking lot. Fans driving by stopped their car near the complex driveway and jumped out to have photos taken.
"I have a lot of unfinished business," said Rodriguez, who struggled offensively late last season. "I'm really looking forward to getting back on the field close to 100 percent and being who I am."
Outfielder Curtis Granderson (broken right forearm), first baseman Mark Teixeira (right wrist), corner infielder Kevin Youkilis (lumbar spine sprain), and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand) are also rehabbing injuries in Florida.
"It's great seeing him," Teixeira said. "He's just happy to be back, doing some baseball activities. He's got a big smile on his face right now, which is great."
Shortstop Derek Jeter is also on the disabled list with a broken ankle, and is not expected back until after the All-Star break.
"We always talk about injuries are a part of the game, but this is crazy" Rodriguez said. "I've never seen anything like it. But I've got to tell you, the way those guys are playing up there, the job the front office has done putting these guys together at the last minute, hats off to everyone."
The Miami New Times reported this year that Rodriguez bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances in recent years from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed clinic in Coral Cables, near the three-time AL MVP's offseason home.
Rodriguez has denied the allegations.
"I can only control what I can control," Rodriguez said. "I'm really focusing on all the great things that have happened in the game. I'm really focused on getting healthy, and just getting back and helping the Yankees win a championship."
A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez had right hip surgery on March 9, 2009, and returned that May 8. He is due $114 million over the next five years as part of his $275 million, 10-year contract.
Jeter found out he fractured his left ankle for a second time in six months on April 18. At that time the Yankees said the team captain should be able to resume his rehabilitation when the new crack heals in about four to eight weeks.
Out since injuring his wrist with the U.S. on March 5 before the World Baseball Classic, Teixeira took batting practice in an indoor cage and hopes to start on-field BP in the next few days.
"I'm very, very happy with where I am right now," Teixeira said.
Granderson, who broke the arm Feb. 24 in his first at-bat of spring training when he was hit by a pitch from Toronto's J.A. Happ, is playing in extended spring training games and expected to rejoin the team this month.
Youkilis is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list on May 13.Replica Cartier Watches Cervelli broke his hand April 26 and is expected to miss at least six weeks.

With recent outbreaks of pet deaths across the nation due to contaminated dog treats from China, more and more pet owners are looking for healthy pet food options made in the USA. The organic pet food industry is one that has slowly been growing and offers pet owners new choices. But even better—all you need do is visit some local hangouts to get treats for your beloved canines.
Barley Bones is a craft dog biscuit producer that specializes in snacks made from organic and high-quality natural ingredients, including locally sourced spent malted barley, a by-product of the beer brewing process. Spent barley is high in protein and is a good source of digestible fiber, which makes it ideal in taste and substance for four-legged family members.
The Barley Bones folks currently make two flavors, Cheddar Cheese and Peanut Butter. You can find them around town at Sturm House Beer Market, Enzo's Market, Nooga Paws, Pruett's Signal Mountain Market, The Ark, Moccasin Bend Brewing Co., and East Ridge Animal Hospital, among other places. And they have a booth at the 10 a.m. – noon Saturday Brainerd Farmers Market at Grace Episcopal Church, Brainerd Road and Belvoir Avenue. Or visit them online at barleybon.es and order there.
Those of us who love dogs would do anything to protect them from harm. In this case, ditch the big pet food names and make sure what you're treating your pet family member to is tasty, not deadly.

The scale of the flooding around the shores of Lough Neagh has been captured by a drone video.
Last week, it was claimed the lough had reached a 30-year high, with hundreds of people flocking to see the effects.
The video which was filmed by Big Country Production has been viewed over 3,500 times on Youtube.
The Secretary of State Theresa Villiers spent part of Monday seeing the effects of the heavy rainfall first-hand.
"I think the response has been very effective, I know all the ministers within the Executive with responsibility have been working hard and working closely together to try and minimise the problems people have experienced," she told UTV.
"I hope the £1.3m is going to be helpful in relieving flooding and it's for the Executive to decide how that's spent."

Subscribe To Alfonso Cuaron Explains Why Robert Downey Jr. Wasn't Right For Gravity Updates
I've already subscribed
It's a rare thing when a movie markets itself at the nerdvana that is San Diego Comic Con before making its world premiere at a cinema celebration as prestigious as the Venice Film Festival. But this is exactly the incredible journey Alfonso Cuarón's upcoming Gravity is making. The science-fiction thriller that marks his long-awaited follow-up to the three-time Academy Award-nominated sci-fi drama Children of Men follows the harrowing quest of two astronauts who are stranded in space when their spacewalk is interrupted by their shuttle's unexpected destruction. Fronted by A-listers Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, Gravity could prove a rare commercial hit for Cuarón. But in a surprisingly candid interview with The Huffington Post, the fascinating filmmaker suggests its not box office bankability that drives him.
Early on, major box office draw Robert Downey Jr. was attached to star, but in this interview—which is absolutely worth reading in its entirety—Cuarón is quick to share why he's grateful the Iron Man became detached from Gravity. After admitting part of the problem was that it took four and a half years to get Gravity into production, he admits:
"And also it was very clear that the technology we were going to use -- it was not the most compatible thing for what Robert is the best at. That is, he takes one scene and he just starts riffing. And because of the technology that we use, it's pretty much limited. We have to preprogram the film before shooting."
Of course Downey's ballsy penchant for riffing is a major part of what made the Iron Man movies such a popular property. But to be perfectly frank, Cuarón had no time for that on this shoot. Because of the cutting edge tech involved in its production to achieve the weightlessness required for most of the narrative, there was no room for ad-libbing. Instead, a great deal of preparation went into every shot of the film before shooting even began. He explains:
"But that's the thing, both George and Sandra, we had endless conversations before. We animated the whole film before. We could have released an animated version with the voices of Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. We watched it and we gave suggestions and if they had notes or ideas, then it was just about programming the whole thing. It was amazing because, yes, they changed quite a lot, relatively speaking. But it was always in the context of what was there already."
You can learn more about the special tech employed in Gravity's production by checking out our live blog of Cuaron's shared Comic Con panel with Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Edgar Wright (The World's End). And be sure to check out the trailer here.
Gravity will make its world premiere in Venice Film Festival on August 28th. A theatrical release in the US will follow on October 4th.

It was revealed recently that the Brooklyn pol is not only getting paid $92,000 a year to represent the good folks of Bushwick and beyond up in Albany, he's also drawing an $88,600 pension annually as well.
The news immediately drew comment from Lincoln Restler, a Lopez critic who is turning the seemingly political patronage job of district leader into a very vocal office. Restler sent out a statement comparing Lopez to Pedro Espada, Jr., the indicted state senator from the Bronx.
Although it's not only Lopez who is double-dipping, assemblymen Jose Rivera of the Bronx and Herman Farrell of Manhattan also filed for retirement checks even though they will both be back in Albany in January.

Were all feeling a little religiously toward the sun right now, schlepping our troubles to the south-facing windows to be bathed in the benediction of sunlight. June through September, we hide from the overly generous southwestern sun; but now I almost want to issue an apology for my shirky behavior and renew my vows at the altar.
The kids are deliciously themselves. Rose is teaching herself to read (which involves flipping through easy reader books putting her own, elaborate linguistic spin on Tom has a red hen, having nothing to do with Tom or a hen).
Col is curating a batch of experiments with household ingredients, which he may or may not have asked to use.
He is thrilled to learn that if you put the contents of the silica gel packets (found in seaweed and shoeboxes) in water, they pop!
Currently, Cols observing a dead box elder bug float peacefully in a vial of turkey broth. Hes like a proud Papa because the bacteria and mold he swiped from the toilet seat and placed on a sterile medium of agar is growing like an orange galaxy of, er, grossness (growing outside, that is. Dan finally said, I get paid to find and eradicate mold in peoples house because its a toxin. Put it outside!).
We recently read a book about the inventor, Thomas Edison, and learned that because Edison didnt do well in school, his mother home-schooled him (aka: set him free to focus on his two favorite pastimes: reading and experimenting). In the course of experimenting, Edison set two accidental fires one that burned down his own fathers barn and another, chemical-based fire on the train he worked on. Somehow, raising a boy who is passionately curious, but gets hives from doing school worksheets, this information is both terrifying and reassuring all at once.
Rose is doing her part to keep our brains quick and agile.
She ambushes me daily with lawyerly questions that confuse me into answering yes. OK, Mama, she begins, just as Ive busily committed myself to some kitchen undertaking, theres eight presents so far, and four nights left of Hanukkah, so can I open one present right now? In the car on the way to the grocery store, shell ask, can me and Col both get a chocolate earthball? Sure, one each, I answer. Two minutes pass, in which Im focusing on driving, reading bumper stickers and singing along to Styx, and Rosie says confidently like shes the family secretary just confirming the schedule, OK, so two earthballs each at the store and a movie when we get home, right?
You can find me back at home, clutching my spiked eggnog and muttering to myself: These skills will help them someday. These skills will help them someday. These skills will help them someday.

Using a Timeline
When exploring life histories, researchers at the RRC use a timeline to guide interviews and act as a prompt for youth and to help them feel in more control over the interview process,
The interviewer guides youth through the process of recording important events, relationships, and all the services they have used over the course of their lifetime from birth using a line drawn on a page. These timelines are then used by the interviewer to guide the interview, starting with the first event recorded on the timeline. Youth feel more at ease with the interview process because they know what they will be discussing, and they often remember more events to include on their timeline as the interview progresses. These events are added and discussed as they are remembered.

The publication includes rankings of more than 1,400 schools nationwide. To learn more about the U.S. News College Compass, which provides access to the most complete rankings and data, visit the online U.S. News Store.
Palm Beach Atlantic moved up in this year's rankings from 51st last year.
"The University's growing reputation recognized by this ranking is a testimony to the engagement of faculty with students and the wide variety of learning opportunities fueled by our location," President William M.B. Fleming Jr. said. "The result is graduates who are leaders in their disciplines and their communities."
The college ranking categories are based upon the 2010 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifications. The Carnegie classification system has been used by U.S. News since the Best Colleges rankings began because they are the basis for classifying schools by most higher education researchers.
Liberal Arts Colleges rankings, have been averaged. This was done to account for the fluctuation of ratings year to year, and also to increase the number of ratings each school received.
