If Josh Webber has his way, his grandfather's dramatic escape from a Nazi concentration camp will be an HBO special, seen by people around the world.
Webber, 26, is making a documentary about how the now 93-year-old Max Fronenberg and two other inmates spent almost a year secretly digging a tunnel out of the Pawiak camp in Poland during World War II. A total of 18 people were able to flee in 1944 as a result.
It's a daring story that Webber learned at an early age, but beyond the family and the local audiences Fronenberg spoke to at schools and synagogues in Montreal, it's little known.
Webber, who grew up in Côte St. Luc and is a 2008 graduate of the New York Film Academy, is virtually singlehandedly producing Escaping the Holocaust, a project that recently took a surprising turn.
While participating in a Birthright Israel trip to Israel this past June, the Los Angeles-based Webber discovered that one of the other diggers, whom his grandfather lost contact with many decades ago and who was presumed to be dead, is alive and well and living in Haifa. The third man, who had lived in Florida, is known to be deceased.
In September, Fronenberg, who lives in Montreal, and the other digger, Yusec Atlasovich, will be reunited in New Jersey, where the latter has a daughter. Webber will interview him to add to the vivid memories his grandfather has of the escape.
In 1942, Fronenberg was deported from his home in Warsaw to the Pawiak camp, where he was forced into sheet-metal work.
Pawiak was a 19th-century prison on the outskirts of the Polish capital.
Several months later, all of Fronenberg's family were killed, except for his father, who had been sent to Pawiak as well. Soon after, the younger Fronenberg and two other men devised a plan to dig their way out of the camp from the basement of a workshop.
The tunnel would lead to the Warsaw sewer system, through which they could, it was hoped, find freedom.
There's also romance in this story. In the camp, Fronenberg met a pretty girl named Rena and they fell in love. But when the tunnel was completed, she was too afraid to crawl through with the others, fearing she would be caught and killed. She begged Fronenberg to tell her family what happened to her if he got out alive.
The camp was liquidated in July 1944. The remaining 2,400 prisoners were sent to the Gross-Rosen and Ravenbruck concentration camps, and the Germans destroyed Pawiak's buildings. The prison's archives were never found.
Fronenberg assumed Rena – the love of his life – had perished.
Shortly after the war, a friend of Fronenberg, who had been in Pawiuk, met Rena by chance at a train station. She asked him if he knew Fronenberg and was overjoyed to learn he had survived as well and told the man to tell him she was alive.
Two days later, Fronenberg went to her hometown and they were reunited. He met her family and they planned to get married, but he wanted to make some money first. Fronenberg had been earning a measly living smuggling vodka.
He promised to come back for her a few weeks later. But that plan was doomed.
While on a smuggling run, his coat got caught and he was dragged underneath a moving truck. His pelvis was crushed and other bones were broken. His friends rushed him to a nearby military hospital, claiming he was a Russian soldier, so that he could get medical help.
Fronenberg spent three months recovering in a body cast, unable to contact Rena. Photos show a handsome young man with dark hair and a thin mustache, and haunted eyes, lying in bed.
Once his pelvis healed and he was out of the cast, he made a quick escape from the hospital before anyone discovered he wasn't a Russian soldier. Though still limping, he walked miles to the station to catch a train to Rena's home.
She was shocked when he turned up at her door. It was assumed he had died, and her father had married her off to someone else.
Both were heartbroken, but he left.
Several months later, he met Halina, who was also in Pawiak, but had been freed earlier through the aid of political connections. They got married in Poland where their first child, son Louis (now an orthodontist in Montreal) was born. They moved to Israel, where their daughter Iris (Webber's mother) was born, before settling in Montreal in 1953.
Thirty years later, Halina passed away.
The following year, Fronenberg was on a business trip to Toronto – for many years he co-owned a major metal-works company – and reconnected with Rena through the Jewish community. She and her family had emigrated there years ago. By then, she was widowed as well.
Their love had not diminished, and they've been married now for 25 years.
Webber knew that Rena was his grandfather's second wife, but until he interviewed Fronenberg, he had not known how they had met, lost each other and finally wed.
Webber had plenty of material for a gripping film with this alone. But his trip to Israel in June yielded a whole new avenue. Although Atlasovich was thought to be dead (Webber's grandfather had not had contact with him for some 50 years), Webber searched for him anyway, but came up with nothing.
Later, six Israeli soldiers joined Webber's 10-day Birthright Israel trip for a few days. Webber spoke to one about his film project and his attempt to track down the other digger.
"She played around with her phone, and I don't know where she looked, but in a few minutes came up with a phone number," he said.
Webber reached him immediately. "I freaked out. I couldn't believe he was not only alive, but here I was talking to him." Although Atlasovich was roughly his grandfather's age, Webber said he sounded much younger and spoke very good English.
"He wanted to meet with me and talk about the escap. His memory was great – he even spoke of a book he wrote about it. I extended my stay in Israel by two days, but unfortunately, he became ill in that time and we had to cancel."
This month, Webber spoke to him again by phone, and Atlasovich told him he was going to New Jersey to visit his daughter, and suggested that they get together at that time. So, Webber, who has been living in Los Angeles for four years, is arranging to bring his grandfather to New Jersey with him.
Fronenberg, who lives in a Côte St. Luc condo with Rena and is still hale and active, is keen on Webber's documentary and has been fully co-operative.
"But I'm not sure how seriously he takes me. I think he still sees me as his little grandson, playing with a camera," said Webber, who left Montreal at 18 to study business at Arizona State University.
After graduating from Jewish People's and Peretz Schools, Webber attended Wagar and James Lyng high schools, before moving back to Halifax, where he was born, to finish secondary school.
Webber has already directed one film, a feature, A Broken Code, about two brothers (he plays one of them) who try to find out who killed their grandfather, a mob boss. This straight-to-DVD movie will be available in Canada in September.
Webber wants to shoot re-enactment scenes for Escaping the Holocaust, but money is, of course, an issue. Webber is trying to raise at least $25,000 through the online crowd-funding platform Kickstarter to complete the film.
"This is an incredible, true story that deserves to be told, and told properly," he said. And that includes purchasing archival footage, quality visual effects, music and editing, all of which takes money.
The budget has so far been modest because he has basically done everything himself.
Pledges via Kickstarter can start at $1. Anyone who wants to chip in $5,000 or more will receive a credit as an executive producer.
"It's important to get the survivors' stories out there before it's too late… and I plan to find a way to finish this film one way or the other."

Three men have been arrested in connection with an investigation into the rigging of the interbank lending rate Libor, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said.
The British nationals - aged 33, 41 and 47 - have been taken to a London police station following searches at a property in Surrey and two premises in Essex.
The SFO opened its investigation into Libor manipulation in July after Barclays was fined £290 million by US and UK regulators for rigging the key lending rate which affects mortgages and loans. Other banks are also subject to investigation.
At the height of the banking scandal this summer, the SFO revealed it had been working closely with the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
The Government department, which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting serious and complex fraud, launched an inquiry into the entire banking sector.
It came after a number of traders at Barclays were found to have rigged Libor to boost profits and bonus rewards, while the bank was also accused of lowering submissions in a bid to alter the perception of the lender's finances.
The claims ultimately led to the resignation of Barclays boss Bob Diamond, sparked a criminal investigation and became the focal point of a bitter row in Westminster over ethics in the banking sector.

Car Review
2013 Cadillac XTS: New Car Review
Pros: Cushy luxury without the squishy ride; fresh technology gives cabin a contemporary feel; reasonable starting price
Cons: Currently only available with a V6; no rear-wheel-drive model; built-in-Canada origins dampens the patriotic possibilities of buying American
What's New: The Cadillac XTS is all-new for 2013.
Cadillac was in a renaissance period when the CTS-V came out in 2004 to upstage European sports sedans with its surprising performance and edgy style. More recently, the brand fell into a slump, with no new models making their debuts in the past three years. It was high time for a brand-new Caddy to reclaim the brand's stake in the competitive large luxury sedan market.
That dry spell comes to an end with the all-new 2013 XTS, a big four-door that fills the gap between the CTS and the plus-size (and now defunct) DTS. Stoking the fire while it's hot, Cadillac will also introduce the ATS, targeted at the BMW 3 Series, later this summer.
Cadillac took a forward-thinking approach to the XTS's in-car electronics, introducing a number of innovative safety and convenience features. Despite its techy magnetic ride control feature, this big sedan's approach to drivetrain packaging is fairly simple, with only one engine and transmission choice coupled to either a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive setup.
The XTS is available in four trim levels: Standard ($44,995), Luxury ($49,610), Premium ($54,505) and Platinum ($59,080). Based on its pricing and market positioning, the XTS is expected to be cross-shopped most frequently with the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lexus GS and Lincoln MKS.
Comfort & Utility
Cadillac has long been associated with supreme comfort-sometimes to a fault-and its new XTS certainly doesn't disappoint in the arena of luxury accommodations. The front seats are inviting king-size thrones, and rear passengers are treated to spacious surroundings and generous legroom. Our top-shelf Platinum model was finished with tasteful top-stitched leather on the dashboard and high-quality finishes including real metal and wood trim.
The XTS's expansive cargo capacity makes a good case for the car's relatively large footprint: with 18 cubic feet of trunk space, the Cadillac offers more volume than the Audi A8L and the BMW 7 Series. Convenience features include adaptive remote start across all models, standard dual-zone climate control with tri-zone standard on Premium and Platinum models, and heated and ventilated seats on Luxury, Premium and Platinum trim levels.
Pleasant details include illuminated entry and courtesy lighting and, on Luxury and Premium models, LED spotlights. The top two trim levels also receive a color head-up display.
Thanks to its clean-sheet design, the Cadillac XTS offers loads of new technology that will eventually trickle into other models, and to prove the new car is tech savvy, every XTS is delivered with an iPad equipped with an app that replicates the car's center screen.
The XTS introduces CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience), a multimedia interface system that uses an eight-inch touchscreen display with haptic feedback-meaning that the screen vibrates when you've triggered one of its functions by touch. The system boasts unique features like intuitive voice recognition, gesture recognition and a proximity sensor that detects when your hand is nearby and triggers key menu buttons in response. Standard on Premium and Platinum models is a reconfigurable 12.3-inch instrument cluster with four gauge layout options.
Tech isn't limited to the dashboard: in addition to the electronics interface, the XTS adds several innovative safety features as well as numerous bits intended to strike a balance between ride quality and handling.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The new XTS isn't a high-strung V model that's intent on ultimate performance, but its direct-injected 3.6 liter V6, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission, and a curb weight of 4,006 pounds (4,215 pounds for the all-wheel-drive model) makes for reasonably responsive acceleration. Total engine output is a mild 304 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. Aided by its relatively light weight, the XTS achieves a respectable 17 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Opting for all-wheel drive drops the highway figure to 27 mpg.
On top of the usual safety accoutrements like dual-stage frontal air bags, knee airbags, side and head curtain airbags and seat side impact airbags for outboard rear passengers, Cadillac introduces a number of novel features intended to protect occupants from outside perils-not to mention driver error. For instance, the new Safety Alert Seat works with distance and position sensors to vibrate either side of the driver seat, warning when the car wanders in its lane or approaches an obstacle. Further active safety measures include a short- and long-range radar system that supports the adaptive cruise control and a rear cross-traffic alert.
The Driver Awareness package is standard on Premium and Platinum versions. It includes lane departure warning, front collision alert, blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Driver Assist package will be available in the fall. It supplements the Driver Awareness package with adaptive cruise control, front and rear automatic braking and automatic collision preparation.
Driving Impressions
Although the XTS is by no means an all-out performance sedan, it does make a few conscious choices intended to satisfy the driver. For instance, rather than succumb to the current trend of maximizing fuel economy by using a lifeless electric power steering setup, Cadillac's engineers opted for hydraulic steering, which offers greater feel. Body control is excellent given the XTS's large proportions, and this Cadillac doesn't feel excessively floaty or disconnected when driven aggressively on challenging roads.
The 3.6-liter V6 may not win any drag races, but it plays well with the six-speed transmission, offering decent acceleration and responsiveness. Highway cruising is the XTS's strong suit, with the cabin effectively insulated from outside noise and the adaptive suspension smoothing out rough pavement. The magnetic ride control feature proved its adaptability when we pushed the XTS on Malibu's winding canyon roads, where it acquitted itself with impressive nimbleness considering its overall bulk and smooth riding characteristics.
Other Cars to Consider
Lincoln MKS-Although it starts at a lower $42,810, the Lincoln MKS is in many cases a more obvious competitor to the XTS than European offerings such as the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Redesigned for 2013, the MKS offers comparable power from its EcoBoost V6 and interior styling that's consistent with the feeling of the XTS's cabin.
BMW 5 Series-We never thought the day would come when a Cadillac could be mentioned in the same breath as a BMW, but that day has come: the $46,900 528i sedan's turbocharged 4-cylinder produces less power than the XTS, but its soft steering and suspension tuning make it surprisingly well matched to the Caddy.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class-Starting at $50,490, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers a slightly more utilitarian five-passenger sedan. The Benz comes equipped with time-tested technology and impressive durability, making it more of a blue chip choice in contrast to the newly introduced Cadillac XTS.
AutoTrader Recommends
If comfort and luxury are at least as important as driving experience, the XTS is your car.

Preview of Sunday's game between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.
KICKOFF 1 p.m., Paul Brown Stadium, capacity 65,515.
TICKETS It's a sellout. Online ticket brokers have been offering nosebleed seats mostly from $100 and up.
WEATHER Strong storms, high winds possible, high of 68.
LINE Bengals by 6 (over-under 42).
BENGALS' LAST FOUR Lost 20-17 in OT at Baltimore last Sunday, lost 22-20 in OT at Miami Oct. 31, beat New York Jets 49-9 Oct. 27, won 27-24 at Detroit Oct. 20.
BROWNS' LAST FOUR Beat Baltimore 24-18 Nov. 3, lost 27-13 at Kansas City Oct. 27, lost 31-13 at Green Bay Oct. 20, lost 31-17 to Detroit Oct. 13.
SAW YOU IN SEPTEMBER The Browns beat the Bengals 17-6 in Cleveland on Sept. 29. Quarterback Brian Hoyer directed TD drives of 95 and 91 yards, the latter ending with five minutes left in the game. The Browns led 336 yards to 266. Bengals DT Geno Atkins, now on injured reserve, was in on two sacks.
SCOREBOARD The Bengals are outscoring opponents, on average, 23.4-18.6. The Browns are being outscored 21.9-19.1.
BROWNS ATTACKING No. 26 run offense (81.6 yards a game) vs. No. 9 run defense (102.0); No. 16 pass offense (235.2) vs. No. 7 pass defense (209.4).
BENGALS ATTACKING No. 18 run offense (108.1) vs. No. 6 run defense (98.2); No. 7 pass offense (270.5) vs. No. 10 pass defense (217.4).
IRON-MAN ANDY Quarterback Andy Dalton has started all 44 games for which he has been eligible, including two postseason losses, since joining the Bengals as a No. 35 overall draft pick (Texas Christian) in 2010. After his loss at Cleveland this year, Dalton became AFC offensive player of the month in October, beating playoff contenders New England, Detroit and New York (Jets). He passed for 372 yards at Detroit.
CAMPBELL'S THIRD STAND Jason Campbell is 1-1 as the Browns' starting QB. He Is coming off an AFC-offensive-player-of-the-week game against Baltimore, featuring a 67-yard drive that consumed 6:30 late in the fourth quarter of a 24-18 win. He is 5-5 in his last 10 NFL road starts, although none of the wins have come since 2011 when he was with Oakland. In 2013, Campbell leads Dalton 106.6-86.7 in passer rating.
GREEN LIGHT Few draft picks in the last 10 years have delivered as much juice as wideout A.J. Green (No. 4 overall, 2011). The former Georgia Bulldog has topped 100 receiving yards in his last five games and is averaging 130.4 in that span. Joe Haden held him to 51 yards on Sept. 29. The Patriots held him to 61 yards a week later before he got on his current roll.
JORDAN AND GORDON Browns tight end Jordan Cameron made a career-high 10 catches in the first Cincinnati game. Wideout Josh Gordon has racked up 170 receiving yards in the Browns' two-game winning streak against the Bengals.
BENGALS PREFER BERNARD The Bengals have given veteran BenJarvus Green-Ellis 142 rushing-receiving touches, with rookie Round 2 pick Giovani Bernard getting 133. All but two of Green-Ellis' touches are runs, whereas Bernard, a big threat on screen passes, has 38 catches. Bernard averages 4.4 yards a carry and 8.0 yards a catch.
FOR THE DEFENSE The Bengals' high defensive rank has been offset by a minus-four in turnover differential, owing to Dalton's 13 interceptions. Second-year pro Vontaze Burfect leads the Bengals in tackles by a wide margin. Carlos Dunlap has six of the Bengals' 30 sacks. The Browns have 31 sacks despite playing one less game. Rookie Barkevious Mingo leads with four.
AFC NORTH WATCH A Browns win would leave the Bengals still in first place at 6-5, but with Cleveland closing in at 5-5. Baltimore (4-5) plays at Chicago. Pittsburgh (3-6) is home to Detroit.
SERIES The Browns have a chance for their first three-game winning streak against the Bengals since 2001-02. Before losing the last two games in the series, both at Cleveland, the Bengals were on a 7-1 run. The Browns haven't won at Cincinnati since 2008.
NEXT The Browns play host to Pittsburgh next Sunday. Cincinnati will be on its bye week.

full screen transitions look under developed, not as fluid as they should be.
low fps in transitions
Posted on 2010-02-10 08:29 UTC by mikey tommo. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.
Solutions for this brainstorm
Solution #1: framerate
Posted on 2010-02-10 08:29 UTC by mikey tommo.
increase the framerate of the full screen transitions for smooth effect when navigating.
Solution #2: vote for bug
Posted on 2010-03-01 09:42 UTC by Timo P.
vote for bug #8017
Solution #3: Provide Simpler Transition
Posted on 2010-03-06 04:13 UTC by Andy Pham.
Simplify transitions:
Screen Orientation:
-Current: Screen flips, then appears in the other orientation
-Proposed: Simply rotate the screen.
Close Application
-Current: Shrink to center, play 'sparkle' animation (or other)
-Proposed: Remove the animation.
The proposed solutions seem generic, and that is probably why Nokia favored these transitions in the first place.
It's better to be mainstream if you can't be efficient and different.
Solution #4: deactivate blur
Posted on 2010-04-03 09:47 UTC by mikey tommo.
setting radius_more to zero in transitions.ini solves the problem of low framerate in full screen effects

A woman who survived time in the most notorious concentration camp during the Holocaust will give a talk as part of Jefferson Community College's "It's a Beautiful Week" dedicated to mental health.
Esther M. Bauer, 88, will speak at 7:30 p.m. today in the Sturtz Theater about her personal memories of Auschwitz and the impact of the mass genocide on her life, and to warn that history can repeat itself.
"Without thinking, I say yes," it can happen again, she said from her home in Yonkers during a phone interview. "Look at what's happening in Africa and in the Middle East. They're all terrible situations. People kill people."
Mrs. Bauer was 18 when she and her family were taken by Nazis from their home in Hamburg, Germany, to Theresienstadt, a transit ghetto in Czechoslovakia that she called "death row."
After marrying a fellow prisoner there, her new husband was transferred to what the Nazis told her was another transit ghetto. However, when she volunteered to transfer to where he was being held, she was taken to Auschwitz — where she found out her husband had been killed.
She also lost her mother, who had been a nurse, and father, who had worked as a girl's-school principal in Hamburg, before she finally was liberated by American troops at Mauthausen in Austria.
Despite her trauma and tremendous loss, Mrs. Bauer was able to move on, get married again and have a son. She now has two grandchildren.
She's made friends with other Holocaust survivors, but said they never talk about that part of their lives when they meet.
"We want to forget," she said. "I was once told by a psychiatrist in New York that I live in a shell and I don't let things get to me. The first 20 years, I couldn't talk about it. The next 20 years, no one wanted to hear about it."
It was in the late 1990s when she finally was ready to speak in public about her experience.
Although she moved to the U.S. in 1946 because she felt a loyalty to the country that freed her and to escape the memories of the Holocaust, Mrs. Bauer has returned to Germany several times to speak about her experience.
"Time heals," she said. "Of course, I will never forget and I will never forgive, but I am happy now."
Thomas D. Wojcikowski, assistant director of student activities and cultural affairs, said the college had another Holocaust speaker give a presentation about four years ago. He said Mrs. Bauer's message is important for the community to hear.
"She's got a thrill for life," he said. "No matter what you go through, you just have to keep on going forward."

The Truth-O-Meter went to work this week examining claims about Florida's early voting program.
Senate President Don Gaetz recently said the 2011 elections law, which cut early voting days from 14 to eight, would have been worse without him fighting to add more hours.
"I sponsored the amendment that expanded the hours of early voting so that people who have irregular work schedules could vote," Gaetz said in a Jan. 11 editorial board interview with the Orlando Sentinel. "And I said if that amendment didn't pass, I would join the Democrats in resisting the proposal to limit the number of days of early voting."
Gaetz is right about sponsoring the amendment, but he's leaving out the fact that his amendment docked the minimum number of hours that a supervisor had to offer for early voting by half. His claim is Half True.
Gov. Rick Scott, who signed the 2011 elections law that cut early voting, reversed course when he called on the Legislature to allow supervisors to offer up to 14 days of early voting again. In an interview, he said the proposal would allow for "a potential of 168 hours (of early voting), which I think is the most we've ever had."
Meanwhile, the liberal Pink Slip Rick campaign tweeted a more pessimistic take on his proposal, saying it only "mandates 48 hours of early voting."
With such different reactions, who's right? Both sides are basically correct but cherry-pick the scenario that fits their message. Scott focused on the highest number of available hours (12 hours a day X 14 days = 168 hours), while Pink Slip Rick went with the minimum (6 hours a day X 8 days = 48).
We rated Scott's comment True, as he was careful with his words about the "potential" record. Pink Slip Rick's remark, while accurate, earned a Mostly True rating because it ignored the fact that supervisors would be able to offer more than three times that amount.
- See also: In his first time facing the Truth-O-Meter, newly elected U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Ponte Vedra Beach, earned a True from PolitiFact for saying the tax penalty that the government imposes if you don't buy health insurance "is lower than it would have cost to buy insurance."
- Scott says Florida's fourth graders are the world's second-best readers, behind Singapore. Mostly True.
- Sen. Marco Rubio says the United States has "an immigration system where only 6.5 percent of people who come here, come here based on labor and skill." Mostly True.

text: Media, Sport and Entertainment Intelligence - March 2016 Media, Sport and Entertainment Intelligence Share this 30 MAR 2016 By: Nick Fitzpatrick Prof Dr Stefan Engels Jamie Ryder Robynne Sanders Richard van Schaik Patrick Mitchell Peter C. White Scott Thiel Frank W. Ryan Welcome to a new edition of Media, Sports and Entertainment Intelligence; this new version aims to provide an overview of what we see coming up on the horizon that could impact businesses in the Media, Sports and Entertainment sector. Looking ahead On the gambling front, a case in the US involving fantasy sports sites DraftKings and FanDuel has been causing a stir. In November 2015, the New York State Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the sites alleging that they violated the state's gambling laws on the basis that the daily fantasy sports games offered by each company involved 'chance' (as opposed to 'skill'). A month later, the lower court granted a preliminary injunction against both companies and ordered that they immediately cease conducting business in New York, however a temporary stay was granted (permitting the companies to continue to operate in New York) and the companies appealed the injunction. If the injunction is upheld, DraftKings and FanDuel will lose access to one of their largest markets (DraftKings reported that New York accounts for approximately 20% of its customers and are responsible for generating $100,000,000 in entry fees). As a result, after years of operating without regulation, the permissibility of daily fantasy sports has been placed in jeopardy - creating uncertainty for sports leagues and teams that have sold sponsorships or made investments in the space. We'll keep you updated as the case progresses. In other gambling updates, Australia is looking to reform its online gambling sector designed to end credit betting, set-up a national 'opt out' register for gamblers and ban gambling inducements. It's been referred to the Senate Committee for inquiry with a report due out in May this year. Another draft reform is being debated in Germany, this time related to copyright in a bid to strengthen authors and performers'' rights in the country. As the main goal is to ensure authors receive fair compensation for their work, this could have a major impact on the remuneration of authors. From a broadcasting perspective, Sharjah, an Emirate in the UAE that shares a border with Dubai, has established a Media Free Zone, a move the rulers of Sharjah hope will attract companies to set-up businesses related to media production. A similar structure has already proved successful in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. And staying with broadcasting, the Australian Federal Treasurer has introduced proposed laws that are being dubbed the 'Netflix tax' as the move would see goods and service tax applied to digital products purchased from abroad. We'll keep you updated as the proposed law makes its way through the system. In the EU the Digital Single Market (DSM) debate continues. There is currently a consultation on the modernisation of the legal framework for the enforcement of IP rights, which will run until 1 April 2016 and consultations on geo-blocking, and the regulatory environment for platforms, online intermediaries, data and cloud computing and the collaborative economy having recently closed. Legislation related to cross-border e-commerce, harmonised rules for the supply of digital content and online sales of goods, has progressed with draft Directives will now entering the EU legislative process. There have been a number of developments regarding trademarks that could have an impact on MSE companies, for example the European Community Trademark Regulation is set to come into effect from 23 March this year. This is expected to have a radical impact on the way companies register trademarks in the EU and could even require companies to review their current and future filing strategies. Staying with trademarks, in the Middle East the new Gulf Corporate Council Trademark Law has been implemented in Kuwait. This is the first GCC member state to implement the law that will see an increase in official fees associated with the filing process, more extensive supporting documentation requirements, as well as faster examination times and longer opposition periods. In the UK a review is currently underway of consumer protection measures in the online ticket resale market focusing on the secondary ticket market for re-sale of tickets for sporting, entertainment and cultural events and will report its findings before 26 May 2016. The UK Government has also introduced Regulations to implement the EU Collective Rights Management Directive which impose requirements in relation to the multi-territorial licensing of online rights in musical works. The Regulations come into force on 10 April 2016. Other news We're delighted to announce the former Chief Counsel at ESPN, David Pahl, has recently joined the firm's New York office as a partner in the MSE sector group. Find out more The firm recently hosted a webinar on Media Production and Film Finance Trends. Listen to the recording and find out more here. Our MSE Blog covered a number of global issues as they happened, including the EU Court ruling against the German sport betting regulation, what to expect from the EU's Privacy Shield and the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as a summary of the Spanish General Directorate for the Regulation of Gaming Activities Q4 report that looked at the country's regulated online market during the last quarter of 2015.

Tor Eigeland
Tor Eigeland, Norwegian-born, has lived in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Lebanon. For twenty years he made his home in Spain, a country he first saw as a 16-year old sailor when his ship called at Barcelona on its way to Shanghai. Eigeland now works out of his home in Southwest France.
Educated in Norway, at McGill University in Canada, the University of the Americas in Mexico, and at the School of Photojournalism of the University of Miami, Eigeland has an unusually broad education, speaks four languages fluently and gets along in four other languages, including Arabic.
A writer as well as a photographer, Tor Eigeland's work has been published widely and successfully around the world for years. Among many others, he has worked on ten book projects for the National Geographic Society as a writer and photographer.
Some of the many outlets for his work include: FORTUNE, TIME, NEWSWEEK, READER'S DIGEST, NATURAL HISTORY, HARPERS & QUEEN, THE SMITHSONIAN, RUTAS DEL MUNDO, THE NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY TRAVEL SECTION, EMIRATES, ENTRÉE and SAUDI ARAMCO WORLD.
Late in 1987, on assignment for ARAMCO WORLD, Eigeland traveled the entire Silk Road from Istanbul to China, mostly by train and bus. He was then among only a few hundred people in history to have travelled the whole length by land. He has also spent a considerable amount of time with the Bedouin in Saudi Arabia's Empty Quarter and with the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico.
Eigeland has completed several assignments for the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER on subjects such as Monuments of the Nile, the Tulips of Holland, the Fjords of Norway, the Moorish cities of Andalusia.
Eigeland stories in a totally different vein have been on the Basque terrorist organization ETA, the geopolitical importance of the Strait of Hormuz, Spain as a trampoline for the narcotics trade, AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, and Rod Hackney, the famous British community architect. Others included a study on virgin rain forest in Borneo which was eventually published in six different countries, a story on Oman as a new travel destination, as well as one on the sultanate's environmental protection efforts. Different aspects of Singapore have been covered in the course of several trips to the Far East.
Recently Eigeland has done a number of stories on gastronomy in different parts of the world, including one on the successful cultivation of truffles in Spain. Other major articles done during the last few years were on Austrian Tyrol, Brittany, the Champagne region, the Cathars of France, the great French Parfumeurs, French caviar, the Queen of Foie Gras in Gascony, the ancient routes of al-Andalus (Moorish Spain) and an environmental study of desert in Jordan, deluxe sailing on the Nile and Sicilian cuisine.
At the moment Eigeland is working on a book about his experiences with the Marsh Arabs of Iraq some forty years ago – before this unique 5000-year old way of life was destroyed by Saddam Hussein.

Why I Can't Wait for Spring
As we enter the transitional period between winter and spring — which, in Montana, is usually marked by lots of wind and hybrid precipitation (e.g. frozen rain) — I am comforted only by the fact that there is a warm, sunny light at the end of the tunnel. Although winter has its own endearing charm here in the Garden City, I am definitely ready to move on. Here are a few reasons why I can't wait for spring:
1. Outdoor sporting events – Sure, basketball is exciting to watch, but I definitely prefer fresh air to stuffy gymnasiums. Soon, we'll be able to take in tennis, track and softball in an alfresco setting.
2. Slacklining – OK, so it's not exactly my hobby of choice, but I do enjoy participating as a spectator. Nothing says "spring" like a blanket on the UM Oval, a smoothie and a front row seat to a mesmerizing tightrope walk.
3. Slow walks – No, not on the beach, mostly because we don't have one — but the Kim Williams Trail will do just fine. I know I'm not the only one who is tired of speed-walking everywhere in order to avoid spending excess time in the uncomfortably frigid air.
4. Flowers – All of the brown, dead foliage and yellow grass is starting to get depressing. Before we know it, gardens will be in full bloom, Mount Sentinel will be covered with a vibrant shade of green and you'll be complaining about having to mow the lawn again.
5. Ice cream – The parking lot at Big Dipper has been a sad, lonely place lately. I always look forward to the first warm day of spring, when people come out of the woodwork for a refreshing scoop of Espresso Heath.

The Lazarene Miracle
According to the Gospel of John, Lazarus lived in the town of Bethany (approximately two miles outside of Jerusalem in the present day West Bank) with his two sisters, Mary and Martha. On His way to Jerusalem before the Passover, the sisters had sent word to Jesus and His Apostles that Lazarus was ill. The Lord tarried where He was, later perceiving Lazarus' death. When He arrived, Lazarus had already been in his tomb for four days. When Martha reproached Our Lord for not arriving sooner, Christ assured her that Lazarus would rise. Martha mistook this for the universal resurrection on Judgment Day, to which He replied, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever believeth in me shall never die" (John 11:25-26, KJV). In the presence of the mourners, the Lord ordered the stone rolled away from Lazarus' tomb and bade him to come forth. Lazarus did so, still in his grave wrappings. Jesus then called for the crowd to remove the wrappings and free him. St. John goes on to explain that even more Jews were convinced of Jesus' divinity. This event struck fear into the hearts of the Jewish leaders, so much so that they even considered putting Lazarus to death (John 12:9-11). The religious hierarchy of the Jews at this time was dominated by Sadducees, who denied the resurrection. The Raising of Lazarus represents a testimony to the resurrection - both Christ's and the universal resurrection, as well as Our Lord as victor over death.
According to the V. Rev. Fr. Thomas Hopko, the Lazarene Miracle is the "climactic high point" of St. John's Gospel and the proof of Christ's divinity. It is also the act which serves as the catalyst of the events leading to Our Lord's arrest and Passion.1
Later Life
Little is known about Lazarus after Our Lord's Resurrection and Ascension. The first tomb of Lazarus in Bethany remains a site of pilgrimage to this very day.
Lazarus' second tomb is on the island of Cyprus, in the town of Larnaka (formally the ancient city of Kittim). According to Cypriot tradition, Lazarus served as the first bishop of Kittim and was buried there after his second death. In A.D. 890 his tomb was found there, bearing the inscription "Lazarus, the Friend of Christ." Subsequently a church, Saint Lazarus, was built on this site.

Guitar Hero 5 Vocals
If you're not careful, singing will seem even harder than drumming. It's important to breathe correctly, train your throat, and hydrate properly, too. That might sound like too much trouble for a living room rock session, but it's easier than you think. We'll help you out, don't worry.
More so than any other band mate, the singer must watch what they use to hydrate themselves. If you don't, you could wind up with a sore throat that lasts for hours, and at worst, you'll wake up feeling sick the next morning. Your best choice is always water. A lot of "energy drinks" contain things that do more harm than good, like sugars, syrups, and diuretics. Most inexpensive juices aren't any better. If you're hanging out with friends and enjoying some beer—or other form of alcohol—at least make sure you're drinking water at the same time. You'll be able to sing longer and thus have more fun.
To prepare your throat, you should try singing in different tones and pitches. You might feel silly doing this at a party, but if you can't do weird things, what kind of a party are you at?! You've probably heard the ol' "do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do," and that's an easy way of hitting the octaves and warming up. If you get to pick the first song or two, choose ones that you know well and can harmonize with. This should help you get settled into the right singing range, and from then on, you can just drop octaves whenever necessary.
And while we're on the subject, you shouldn't try to sing in a way that's far outside your natural range. If you have a deep, bass-tone voice, then you shouldn't be struggling to belt out high-pitch singing like you're Freddie Mercury. There is but one key to success here, and it's harmony. You don't have to sing in the same exact range as the original singer, you just need to harmonize with them. The game will recognize this as a valid performance, and you'll spare your poor throat unnecessary pain.
Of course, all that talk about how to sing is useless if you don't know how to breathe. If at all possible, you should be performing diaphragmatic breathing. That means you'll be using your belly—not your upper body and shoulders—when you're taking air in and pushing it out. This also helps you powerfully propel air through your body, which you should always be doing when you want to sing forcefully. Instead of tightening up your throat, push that air out of your gut and through your vocal chords for maximum effect. And when it comes to endurance, proper breathing plays a role there, too. Try to suck in a quick breath before every line of lyrics, then let it out and take in another before the next part starts. It's essential that you learn to do this, as a lack of air will leave you with a struggle and a sore throat.
You may feel like that's a lot to remember, but here's a summary of it: keep water at your side, warm up your vocal cords beforehand, stay in your range and breathe with your belly. That makes things simpler, doesn't it? Keep those four things in mind, and you'll be set to sing the night away.

A Charleston County man is in jail after authorities say he called 911 on election night and threatened to shoot President Obama.
Charleston County sheriff's deputies say 51-year-old Kevin Daryl Salvo of Johns Island called the emergency number twice Tuesday night. A 911 dispatcher told officers that during the call, a man cursed all Democrats.
He demanded that all Democrats stay away from him and also told the dispatcher "the South will rise again."
Deputies arrested Salvo late Tuesday night shortly after Obama was declared the winner.
He's in jail on an $1,100 bond. It was not immediately clear if he has an attorney.

Lessons to be applied when doing Olympic ski sports
By Dr. Robert F. Weiss
There is so much to learn from watching all of the outstanding Olympic athletes. It is of special interest to many of us due to the tremendous amount of snow piled up on the ground. Many of us are heading to the slopes or even out our doors if you are a cross-country skier or snow shoer.
While watching many of the skiers and their techniques, we can learn how to manipulate our body to improve the form of our slalom and downhill skiing. It is remarkable how many are able to pull their bodies out of the most difficult positions when near the crash mode.
The skiers use all body functions, as the power is placed on the hands and arms, as much as the legs, in an effort to keep perfect balance. In the speed of turns, the hips play an important part as they almost touch the snow and prevent hitting the safety net.
A skier has to be careful when on too much of an edge angle, as the ski digs into the snow causing a decrease in speed.
The cross-country skier who has core strength helps get power from the snow with each plant of the ski pole. The arms and legs increase stride, which covers more distance. Strong arms act as levers during the pushing with the poles.
The ski jump technique is all balance as the jumper flies through the air. Moments after take-off, the jumper shifts into a precise V-shaped airborne position, where his or her head is out towards the ski tips.
Snowboarders use their lower body from the bottom up, which balances their feet, ankles, knees and hips. The upper body would compensate for the lower body without any rotation.
Enjoy winter sports keeping in mind the importance of lessons before trying any of the more difficult events.
Dr. Robert F. Weiss, a Sport Podiatrist, was a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the 1984 and 1988 Olympic marathon trials.

Several asked about the pink 'cloud' around Icy -- I draped a feather boa around him for the photograph, then softened the image in PS and applied a smidge of Fractalius filter, masking out where I didn't want the effect.
Re_my signiture which has been inquired about - To customize your signiture in PS, select the type tool, then the font you desire, and size. Hold down the ALT key while typing ON THE NUMBER PAD: 0169. This renders the copyright. Type your name. To select a color, highlight your name, then take the eye drop tool and select a color from the photograph. Alternatively double click on the foreground color in the menu bar which will bring up the color picker. Use the slider to select the color range you want and then click inside the color picker to select a specific color. Click on the type tool icon in your layers palette and you're done! You can adjust the size, font and color as long as you have your signiture selected. I hope that helps!
Namaste! #5710867

Yübe: Sustainable Modular Furniture
Yübe is an interesting new furniture line that combines modularity and customizable features with sustainable materials.
Easy to put together and simple to stack, yübe is described as:
The Yube will grow on you in every way. Stack them up to build the structure you need, or tear it apart and do it again somewhere else; it's that simple. And it's fun to personalize with your own customized doors and accessories that are unique to you.
Plus they say you can practially eat them (not sure I'd try):
Being almost edible, the Yube outer panels you see are made from Sugarcane, only someone got there first to extract the sweet juice. Rather than burn the remaining fiber as waste, it's pulped for reuse and pressed into Yube panels. As with many natural materials, each panel displays it's own unique pattern.
The frames of the Yube are made from Woodlite, a proprietary compound of non-toxic moldable plastic mixed with Bamboo, the planet's fastest growing renewable wood resource. Woodlite utilizes 20%-30% less non-renewable resources than similarly molded products. It even smells good unlike regular plastic, there is a pleasing light sweet aroma to remind you this is no ordinary material.
About $30 a cube with lots of customizable options they are an affordable solution for lots of spaces.

These Moto GP foot pegs are easy to install, look nice on my ZX-6R, very strong when standing on them, low priced and don't break when you drop your bike. OEM parts are made cheap, cost 55.00 a pair and break easy.
Competition Werkes GP Footpegs - Front
Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!Write Your Review
This product DOES NOT FIT my 2006 Kawasaki ZX6R. After unpacking them I had to whip out my grinder and grind down about one quarter inch off each peg before they could fit. Them after modifing them and finally getting them to fit, they did not look good so now they live on my garage shealve. They were a waste of money.
Right out of the packaging the foot pegs are really great looking pegs. The problem however is that the hole's diameter is not large enough, so right out of the package they are pretty much useless unless you want to use them as a paperweight. I had to go out and buy a 12.2 mm drill bit (a 12.1 mm probably would have worked but I couldn't find one) and enlarge the hole. Once enlarged they mounted up very easily although the left side peg doesn't seem to sit and the same angle as the right one.
So overall, they look great, but I'm not sure they are worth the effort of making them fit. If Competition Werkes ever got around to trying to mount them themselves and they would make it so they mount up properly then I'd give this product five stars; however, as it is, I can only say three stars and that's being generous.
Although the parts look great when you take them out of the package, upon attempting to mount them you will find that the hole in the pegs is not 12mm which it needs to be, it is in fact slightly smaller so the mounting pin does not fit. I had to buy a 12mm drill bit, then drill out the pegs on my drill press in order to get these to fit. Mounted up they look really nice, it was just much too much work to mount a set of pegs which should have been a no-brainer.
Quality of product was as expected, overall apperance was good. The only issue was some minor grinding was required to fit my '05 Kaw 636.
this peg has good grip.
See all bikes that this part fits...

DFID's White Paper: Making governance work for the poor
24 July 2006 - On Thursday 13 July DFID launched its new White Paper on International Development, 'eliminating world poverty: making governance work for the poor'. It sets out what the UK Government will do to reduce world poverty over the next five years.
The White Paper sets out DFIDs priorities and explains how we will work with the rest of UK Government, partner governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academics and the private sector to fulfil the promises made in 2005 to significantly reduce world poverty.
The White Papers main messages are:
- We will deliver the promises we made in 2005 by: increasing our development budget to 0.7% of gross national income by 2013; concentrating our resources on the poorest countries particularly sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and working more in fragile states; making sure that wider UK policies support development; and doubling funding for science and technology.
- We will put governance at the centre of our work focusing on building states that are capable, responsive and accountable to their citizens. We will use a new framework for assessing the quality of governance to do this and use the assessment to tailor our support appropriately to country circumstances. We will also step up our efforts dramatically to tackle corruption internationally, for example through a new anti-corruption unit and follow up to Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
- We will increase our effort to help people have security, incomes through growth and public services. We will commit 50% of all future bilateral aid to public services for poor people - social protection will be a major new area of work.
- We will work internationally to tackle climate change, by helping developing countries to participate in international negotiations on climate change and to integrate adaptation to climate change impacts into their development programmes.
- We will help create an international system fit for the 21st century, focusing on UN reform, a more effective and responsive World Bank, IMF and regional banks, and closer working relationships with EU Member States and the EC to ensure that EU aid is effective and that non-aid policies support development.
Additonally, here are some highlights that focus on education issues:
- Our priority is to get the 100 million children of primary school age who are not currently attending school into a classroom with a teacher. Education is both a right and a route out of poverty. People who have been to school are more likely to find work, look after their health and demand that governments act in their interests. But on current trends, 67 countries will not achieve the MDG for universal primary education. Urgent action is needed to increase funding, and to deal with the problems that prevent children from going to school including the devastating effects of AIDS.
- School fees deter parents from enrolling their children, particularly girls. Seventy-eight out of 94 low income countries charge some type of fee for primary education. When faced with a choice of paying for a son or daughter to go to school, parents will often choose the son. Countries that have abolished school fees, however, have seen a huge increase in enrolment. The UK strongly supports free primary education, and is helping governments to pay for the additional teachers and classrooms needed to cope with the growing numbers of children in school.
- Helping girls enrol and stay in school means tackling the discrimination they face. Community awareness programmes about the importance of educating girls help. More women teachers and better sanitation in schools also helps overcome some of the social barriers. This is why the UK supports the UN Girls Education Initiative, together with special projects to support girls education.
- Many developing countries will need to increase their spending on education. This will require a substantial increase in aid, until the poorest countries have grown enough to support themselves. Providing a good quality education to all children of primary school age by 2015 will require an extra US$10 billion in aid each year. This will include the costs of removing school fees, dealing with the effects of AIDS, and providing school meals and grants to help poor families send their children to school.
- The Education for All Fast Track Initiative (FTI), which the UK supports, estimates that by 2008 up to 60 countries will have credible plans to get all children into primary education by 2015.
