Blade Runner Site
Blade Runner is the best and one of the most influential Science Fiction films ever made. Based on the excellent book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", by Philip K. Dick, Ridley Scott created Blade Runner as a stunning view of the dark near-future. Although seen as disturbingly bleak when it was first released, as time has moved on, it can now be seen as increasingly prophetic of the way the world is changing.
Deckard is a retired Blade Runner - a hunter of 'Replicants', (androids of the future created by the Tyrell Corporation to be "more human than human"). Replicants were declared illegal on Earth, but a group of the most advanced, the Nexus-6 Replicants, have hijacked a shuttle and returned from off-world. Deckard is forced back from retirement and it is his job to terminate them.
What do these Replicants want? Simple - they want "More Life". They have been limited with a four year lifespan. They are created as slave labour, but all they want is to live like humans. Led by the charismatic and very intelligent Roy Batty, they seek to confront their 'maker', Eldon Tyrell, head of one of the most powerful corporations on Earth.
In the action that sprawls across a fantastic, futuristic cityscape of Los Angeles, 2019, we follow the dehumanised Blade Runner as he chases down the renegade Replicants. Things are complicated with the addition of a new Replicant created by Tyrell as an 'experiment'. The new addition, Rachael, has been gifted with memories and believes she is human, before she discovers what she really is.
Blade Runner is visually stunning, with a cityscape that has been much copied, but never bettered, even after 20 years. The atmosphere is beautifully enhanced by the music of Vangelis. The actors are brilliant and many have gone on to successful careers. Ultimately, the movie leaves us asking those most fundamental philosophical questions, "What does it mean to be human" and "Who am I".
Ahead of its time when released, this film has gradually become recognised as a classic and the forerunner of things to come. It has been classed as one of the most influential films of the 20th century by both the British Film Institute and the American Film Institute. Blade Runner has been added to the Library of Congress and is rated highly in most people surveys. (In the UK, it is often ranked in surveys in the top ten favourite films ever.)
Blade Runner has not just influenced innumerable science fiction films made since, but has crept into real life in so many ways ...

TORONTO — As he chatted with friends in a coffee shop on the Danforth one day in 1999, George Gedeon, a Toronto news video editor of Christian Greek descent, suddenly realized that his knowledge of a troubling facet of modern Greek history was abysmally lacking.
When a friend mentioned that 62,000 Jews in Nazi-occupied Greece were murdered during the Holocaust, he was not only dumbfounded but embarrassed by his ignorance.
"I didn't know that," he said, adding that his schoolteachers never bothered to mention the Holocaust in their Greek history lessons.
Eager to educate himself, Gedeon, now 63, contacted the Jewish community in Thessaloniki, where 46,000 Jews were rounded up and deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp between March and August 1943.
"That was the beginning of my introduction to Greek Jews," said Gedeon, who freely admits he was exposed to anti-Jewish stereotypes and tropes at home during his youth.
In 2000, video camera in hand, he went to Thessaloniki and met the president of its Jewish community. He told him he wanted to make a documentary film about Greek Jewry.
"He expressed support for my project," said Gedeon, who was born in Ismailia, Egypt, lived on the Greek island of Rhodes and immigrated to Canada after the Six Day War in 1967.
Armed with grants from donors, he returned to Greece four more times in the next few years and filmed yet more footage.
Having finished his 47-minute film, In the Presence of My Neighbours, he presented it at the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora in Tel Aviv in 2011. Shortly afterward, Channel 2, an Israeli TV station, broadcast it.
On April 4, the film is scheduled to be shown at Temple Sinai, and on Sunday, April 21 at 2 p.m., it is due to be screened by the Toronto Jewish Film Festival at the Shepherd Cinema 5.
In the Presence of My Neighbours is a broad and sympathetic survey of an ancient community decimated by the Nazis in a few short years.
By his reckoning, Greece was home to 70,000 Jews before World War II, with the vast majority living in Thessaloniki.
Although Jews arrived in Greece during the Greco-Roman period and were integrated into Greek society, they were sometimes subjected to restrictions. And because Jews were associated with the crucifixion, and generally maintained good relations with Greece's Ottoman overlords, they aroused the enmity of some Christians, he notes.
When Greece was invaded by Italy in 1940, Jews serving in the Greek army conducted themselves with exemplary bravery. During the subsequent German occupation, Jewish citizens were marginalized, mistreated and forced to sell their properties at artificially depressed prices as most Greeks looked away in indifference.
Still, other Greeks collaborated with the Germans or helped Jews, he observed.
The archbishop of Athens denounced the deportations, which the Greek government tried in vain to stop. According to Gedeon, most Jews in Athens survived because they were under the protection of the Orthodox Church, the chief of police and the resistance movement.
By his estimate, 8,000 Jews survived, going into hiding with the assistance of Christians or escaping from the country altogether. Miraculously, 2,000 Greek Jews managed to return from the Nazi death camps.
In the wake of the war, Greece was one of the first European countries to repatriate property to rightful Jewish owners. In some cases, however, Jews had to launch lawsuits to retrieve stolen property.
Gedeon, in his film, claims that antisemitism is alive and well in contemporary Greece. "Jews create problems for us," says a Greek. Still other bigoted Greeks claim that Jews were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attack in Manhattan, deny the Holocaust and blame Jews for Greece's current financial crisis.
Gedeon is repelled by the neo-fascist Golden Dawn party, which fared relatively well in the last Greek national elections. It feeds on the dire economic situation and the presence of illegal immigrants in the country, he said.
Although embarrassed by the dark side of Greek history, the Greek government is positively disposed toward the Jewish community, he pointed out.
With only about 5,000 Jews living in Greece today, the future of the community remains murky. In an interview, Gedeon expressed optimism that it will prosper. "I do want to see Greece keep its Jews. They are happy and comfortable in Greece."
Gedeon, who recalls having seen and heard Israeli aircraft bomb Ismailia during the opening round of the Six Day War, is not certain whether his film will ever be screened in Greece.
"Holocaust survivors have told me it will never be shown in Greece," he said. "I hope they're wrong. Maybe an independent television channel will run it."
He added, "I don't dare show it to the Greek community in Canada. I've been accused of being a bad Greek. Often, they think I'm a traitor. Their first reaction is: 'You must be a Jew if your name is Gedeon.'"
Describing himself as a proud Greek patriot, he said he recoils from the unsavoury dimensions of Greece's past. Nevertheless, he fervently hopes that Greece will acknowledge its complicity in the Holocaust and come clean.
"My work will be completed if the Greek government says, 'We're sorry for what happened.'"

My father Thomas Dowd told the tale of how one hot summer day, he, his brother, and his friends decided to make a raft. They lived along TURTLE CREEK The little town was named after the stream that runs thru it and the creek empties into the MONONGAHELA RIVER
It had been the first sunny day after a few days of rain. The plan was to build a raft and take it for a voyage. I suppose they were about ten or twelve years old at the time.
The boys spent all day gather wood and constructing the raft. Soon came the launch in the summer afternoon. Some how, his brother Richard got on first and the raft got away. There was his younger brother adrift on the swollen and turbulent creek headed toward the river.
Richard was screaming "Save me" The whole gang ran alone the banks and came to a small wooden bridge. As they lay on the wooden planks they could see Richard coming down Turtle Creek, still screaming.
Richard was rescued and pulled upon the bridge. My dad said that his only thought was his brother was going to drown and it would have been his fault.
And his mother, Gertrude, would kill him.

The Lipscomb Bisons soccer team finished the last of seven straight road games a little more than a mile from home.
Coming off a 4-0 loss at Atlantic Sun rival Belmont Saturday afternoon, it will be good for the Bisons to play a game this week in front of the home crowd Thursday night at 4 when Gardner-Webb visits.
Corey Alexander scored the first goal for Belmont at 6:48 with a shot from approximately 30 yards out. With Bisons' goalkeeper J.D. Murphy out of the box, Belmont's Channing Twyner scored the second goal of the game at 11:30.
In the second half, Belmont also scored a pair of goals. Mete Ozkan scored on a penalty kick for Belmont at 65:33. Ian Schinelli headed the ball by Murphy to close out the scoring at 84:12.
Belmont made 17 shots while the Bisons made nine. Kevin Terry, Josh Cline and Jorge Suarez each made two shots.
Murphy made three saves for the Bisons.
Kyle Roelke made four saves for Belmont.
Belmont is 5-4-1 overall, 2-1-0 in the conference. The Bisons are 2-6-1, 0-3-0 in the conference.

What do you think of the recent move the Coyotes made?
What do you think of the recent move the Coyotes made?
|Sponsored Links
Not a fan of it really...we need a center especially with Turris not being signed yet even though he will. We had enough RW's I just feel like we could have got someone a little younger and someone who played last year and its not such a question mark about health and how they will perform at his age and such a long layoff. Overall i believe if that is the only move they make for a center i am not happy. We need someone with a little more skills...
As a Flames fan I'm sad to see Langkow go. He is loyal, hard working, and puts up quiet, consistent results. He is about the same age as Doan and I can see the two of them doing well with perhaps a playmaking LW. Langkow is a great addition to any team. Hopefully you guys in Phoenix will see how much of a stand up player he is. Tons of respect to him.

Kessler stops Magee for fifth title
HERNING, Denmark — Denmark's Mikkel Kessler won his fifth career world championship Saturday, beating Brian Magee in the third round to take the Northern Irishman's World Boxing Association super-middleweight title.
A right hook sent Magee down for a third and last time after Kessler also floored the Northern Irishman twice in the second round.
"Magee came out quickly. But when he got the one in the stomach, I just hoped he wouldn't be able to storm out again," Kessler said about the first blow before a roaring and partisan crowd of more than 10,000 fans.
Kessler (46-2 with 35 knockouts) last held a world title in 2010, the WBC version.
In 2004, the Warrior Viking beat Manny Sica from Puerto Rico and grabbed the WBA title.
Two years later, Kessler knocked out German Markus Beyer to get the WBC belt, and became WBA champ in 2008 with a victory over Dimitri Sartison of Germany.
The Dane then took the WBA title with a victory over Britain's Carl Froch.
Kessler returned to the ring last year after overcoming an eye injury that forced him to withdraw from the Super Six tournament in 2010.
The eye injury stemmed from a Super Six bout against American fighter Andre Ward in 2009.
Magee (36-5) lost his second defense of the WBA belt he won in July last year.
"I came here to fight but that first jab really hurt me a lot," Magee said.
He had traveled to Denmark hoping to complete a hat trick of victories over Danish opponents after beating Rudy Markussen in February and Mads Larsen in 2010.

In the northeastern corner of Yosemite National Park, jutting above the craggy Sawtooth Ridge, is the Matterhorn Peak, a rocky point that is one of the best snow-kissed mountains in the Sierra Nevadas to ascend without needing climbing gear. While no mountaineering expertise is necessary, this is still one hardcore day hike – a 14-mile round trip, it starts above 7,000 feet along a stream and gains some 6,500 feet in elevation, ending in a windswept, craggy summit.
To get to the trailhead, take 395 South from Bridgeport to the Twin Lakes. At the end of Twin Lakes Road is Annet's Mono Village, a small RV park and campground with a clear view of Matterhorn Peak, six miles away. Follow Horse Creek through fir, pine trees, and sagebrush, past standing water (in early summer, from snowmelt) and wet, grassy areas teeming with migrant songbirds, juncos, steller's jays, and hummingbirds. As you gain elevation, from 7,600 to 9,200 feet, the plants thin and the rocky terrain of Horse Canyon takes over, with boulder fields giving way to snow, gravel, and loose, sharp volcanic rocks. At about 9,200 feet, the creek ends. Turn right and continue the ascent. At 11,000 feet, the wind steadily whips, the sky has noticeably darkened (a trippy trick of elevation as you make your way closer to space), and gravelly rubble and a few dense pockets of ankle-high conifers cling to the 80-degree slopes we're about to ascend. This is the spot to lunch, drink up (water, and lots of it) and ready yourself for a half-mile, 1,200-foot climb that is the roughest on the trail. Legs burn, the thin air fails to give recovery, and every six steps require a breather. It's a straight shot to the peak, and tauntingly slow.
At the top, elation. The Matterhorn Peak (12,279 feet) is the highest in the northern Sierras and your views – south into Yosemite, east to California cattle country, and west into the heart of the Sierras – are wholly unobstructed. Soon enough, the wind and sun take their toll and it's time to descend. The adrenaline, thin air, and exhaustion all help to make the slopes of snow below us look soft and inviting – a thrilling shortcut straight back to Horse Creek.
In fact, it was on this peak that Jack Kerouac's character, Ray Smith, from the semi-fictional 'Dharma Bums,' came to a similar realization: "I looked up and saw Japhy running down the mountain in huge twenty-foot leaps…then taking another long crazy yelling yodelaying sail down the sides of the world and in that flash I realized it's impossible to fall off mountains." This is not exactly the case, and it's certainly not the safest course to glissade down an unexplored slope without an ice ax or skis. But someone in our party had skied these slopes just four weeks prior and knows the terrain well. So we hiked to the most forgiving drop – an 800-foot slide that ends in a flat snowfield. We tightened our packs, sat on the wet, slick snow, and descended in one long, crazy (for one, yodelaying) sail down the side of the world.

Two key Bioshock Infinite devs leave Irrational
Two key developers on Irrational's delayed Bioshock Infinite have left the company.
BioShock Infinite has had its share of hiccups during development, forcing its release date back to 2013. But now, two key members of the development team have left Irrational Games, possibly throwing the game into even more uncertainty.
Art director Nate Wells and Director of Product Development Tim Gerritsen have left the developer, according to Gamasutra, and Wells confirmed the departure with a brief tweet (since deleted) saying he had a new job and details would be coming soon. Irrational head honcho Ken Levine didn't let too much time pass before announcing via Twitter that Scott Sinclair, art director on the original BioShock, would be taking over for Wells.
There is less info on Gerritsen's departure, other than his LinkedIn page listing that he left Irrational this month.
John Keefer posted a new article, Two key Bioshock Infinite devs leave Irrational.

Csiltanen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 143 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Happen.At is a brand spanking new website and mobile app dedicated to socializing the event space. Think profiles, media uploads, check-ins, follows and community features.
Since we haven't launched yet, we can't give away too much more, but we always welcome additional questions offline.
We hope to effectively attract both of these personalities:
*Small to mid-size businesses looking for a simple way to create events, promote events, and engage more deeply with attendees.
*Event attendees/seekers of all ages, but particularly those who are 20-40 and thus more prone to socialize online, use mobile to engage with brands, and actively attend events (classic over-sharer included).
1) Must be distinct.
We're looking to standout from the typical event space competition (including Ticketmaster and Eventbrite), and appeal to those who are in the small to mid-size range who need a reliable, hip means to promote their events.
2) Must have a component that is easily transferred to an app icon on the mobile side.
Mobile is a large component of our concept and will be crucial to our launch. The logo must simplify well.
3) Must draw attention to the .At component of our name.
Since we're utilizing a non top-level domain, we must be savvy in our use of our logo to effectively market this nuance.
Additional Notes:
*All colors and themes are welcome.
*We're hoping to find a visually unique way to brand ourselves.
THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY PROJECTS FOR US. IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE WE WILL ALSO BE SEEKING ICON DESIGN (mobile and web), WEB DESIGN (5-10 pages), AND EMAIL DESIGN.
This is a great way to build your portfolio and potentially create a relationship for consistent work.

Only a few official days of summer left and then we are on to fall. The subtle reminders are there: cooler evenings, the displays of pumpkins and colorful mums at the entrances of grocery stores, and the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks; all clues that we are making the transition into a new season.
Here in the south though, the days can remain quite warm for a while yet, which tends to leave me feeling a bit confused about what I want to eat. On the super warm days I am still content with summer food: something right off the grill with crisp garden ready veggies still do the trick. But then when we have a few nights that get chilly, and days that aren't so scorching hot, I'm not really sure what I'm in the mood for.
On those cooler days, the first thing I start to think about is soup. Not the stick-to-your-ribs kinds of soups, but definitely something warm and satisfying.
In comes my Tomatillo Bisque. I have been making this soup for years. I often serve it as a first course in the winter months as a lead into a southwestern menu, and sometimes I make it with some added chicken and enjoy it for lunch or dinner all on its own like I've done here.
This soup is nice and light, with some really good tang from the tomatillos and lime crema…and of course I love the crispy tortilla strip garnish!
You'll find fresh tomatillos in the produce section of your grocery store. To check for freshness, look for firm tomatillos with tight fitting paper like husks. You'll want to keep them refrigerated (unlike tomatoes) until ready to use.
Tomatillos are a key ingredient for green sauces in Mexican and Central American cuisine, but they are also offer fantastic flavor for soup!
- 16 ounces tomatillos, husked, washed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1½ tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- ½ cup chopped cilantro, divided
- 1 serrano chile, chopped
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 4 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips
- Canola oil for frying tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced (for garnish)
- Lime Crema
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- Place tomatillos on a baking sheet and broil until lightly charred and softened, about 15 minutes. Remove blistered skin from tomatillos and discard, reserving tomatillos.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and salt, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, oregano, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the chile; continue to cook, stirring frequently, an additional 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Dissolve corn starch in a little cold water and add to the soup and continue to simmer an additional 2 minutes to thicken. Cool soup slightly. Add roasted tomatillos to soup and puree, using an immersion blender, or process in mixer in batches.
- (Soup may be prepared 1 day ahead and reheated.)
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with *crispy tortilla strips, chicken, diced tomatoes, a dollop of *lime crema and remaining cilantro.
- servings
- *Crispy Tortilla Strips:
- Fill a large cast iron skillet with 1-inch of canola oil and heat to 350 degrees over medium high heat. Add tortilla strips, and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel lined plate. (May be fried 1 day ahead.)
- For Lime Crema: whisk ingredients together in a small bowl.

spersily necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
I need a website designed for a businessman/attorney. The theme should be professional in nature. His name is Howard Mandelbaum and the URL will be http://www.howardmandelbaum.com. I have attached his picture to this contest.
To be clear, this is not a website for a law firm or a business - it is just a personal website for Howard Mandelbaum and he wants to have a presence online, and he wants to portray a professional image of himself as a successful businessman and attorney.
The target audience would be friends of his that "google" his name, potential clients that "google" his name, and other members of his political and charitable communities that are looking for information about him. Again, this is a personal website for someone who wants to have a site on the web telling people all about who he is, including his charity work, his work life, etc.
I only need the Homepage designed, however the linkbar should have the following categories:
* Home
* Charity (will include all the charitable work he does)
* Law (will include his legal areas of expertise)
* Politics (he is very politically active, so we will have a page about his political volunteer work)
* Fraud Crusader (part of his legal work includes fighting fraud and corruption, so we will have a link about that)
* Contact
His picture is attached.
He does not have a website currently. His law firm has it's own website, however as I mentioned this is completely separate and we are creating a website only for him personally not for his law firm.
No examples, but we look forward to seeing some great designs!

When this type of monitoring is configured, Directory Proxy Server tests each connection to each data source at regular intervals. In this way, the proxy prevents connections from being dropped because of inactivity, and detects closed connections.
This type of monitoring can be used in addition to Monitoring Data Sources by Periodically Establishing Dedicated Connections.
Directory Proxy Server can be configured to test connections in the following scenarios:
Pooled connections that are not used for a period of time
Connections for persistent searches that are not active for a period of time
Connections between a client and Directory Proxy Server operating in tunneling mode
Testing established connections consumes system resources, but it provides good security for connections. If you are using the Active Directory product, you must use this method of monitoring because the Active Directory product closes inactive connections.
To test an established connection, Directory Proxy Server issues a search request with the following parameters:
Search base DN
Connection time out
Search time out
Search filter
If a connection is found to be down, Directory Proxy Server polls the connection at a specified interval to detect its recovery. You can configure this interval by setting the down-monitoring-interval property. For more information, see To Monitor a Data Source by Testing Established Connections in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Directory Proxy Server monitors data sources by using a search filter. Data sources that return a result that satisfies the filter are considered to be working.

Sprint Plunges 18% as It Replaces CEO; Hard Work of Fixing Begins, Says Street
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Sprint (S) shares are down $1.23, or 17%, at at $6.05, and T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock is off $2.85, or 8.4%, at $31.06, after Sprint this morning said it named Marcelo Claure, 43, its new CEO, replacing Dan Hesse, chief for 7 years, following reports last night by Dow Jones and CNBC stating Sprint is abandoning an effort to buy T-Mobile.
Claure had been head of mobile devices distributor Brightstar Information Technology Group (BTSR).
The Claure news confirmed a report by CNBC's David Faber.
While the release from Sprint didn't confirm any intention with respect to T-Mobile, analysts noted the implications between the lines, with CEO Masayoshi Son of Softbank, Sprint's financial backer, stating, "While we continue to believe industry consolidation will enhance competitiveness and benefit customers, our focus moving forward will be on making Sprint the most successful carrier."
A piece by Eric Pfanner in the Journal this morning suggests Sprint will look for further acquisition targets.
BTIG Research's Walter Piecyk responds this morning that "it's always a bit of a shock when a CEO abruptly leaves a company."
Abandoning the T-Mobile bid is an even bigger surprise, he writes, but "we have to wonder if the larger issue was Deutsche Telekom's increasing unwillingness to sell as their performance exceeded Sprint's and new buyers emerged."
Maybe, he writes, Sprint will come back to T-Mobile in time:
If DT's unwillingness to have a constructive dialogue on deal terms was driven by their relative performance in the United States and Masa is confident about the network speeds he can deliver to the market within the next 6-9 months, it made sense for Masa to take a pause in the pursuit of T-Mobile. With that pause, it was also time (and overdue) to put in place a CEO more interested in winning and reversing Sprint's worst revenue decline since 2009 rather than continue with one that profiled a Net Income milestone and conduct rosy press interviews. We would not rule out a renewed attempt by Sprint to buy T-Mobile in 2015, (even under the current FCC). However, there are multiple moving parts in the global telecom industry and its unclear if T-Mobile would still be independent at that time.
Hopefully, writes Piecyk, Claure is the outsider that Sprint needs in order to really change:
Claure has an opportunity to redefine Sprint's message and build some anticipation for the new network roll-out. In addition, he is a true outsider that should be better suited to finally disrupt the deeply embedded Overland Park corporate culture that had been protected by prior Board members when Hesse was appointed as CEO. The only question is why it took Masa this long to make this move?
Craig Moffett, eponymous director of MoffettNathanson Research, writes today that "Son and Sprint will need to refocus squarely on improving results internally, and that won't be easy."
Expect capital spending to rise. They will also have to cut their service prices, which are simply too high relative to competitors'. Exeuting on these priorities will make Sprint's financials look ugly indeed. Without the prospect of an M&A lifeboat, investors will start to care again about things like, oh ... valuation.
Jennifer Fritzsche with Wells Fargo, who rates Sprint Outperform and T-Mobile Market Perform, writes today that Sprint has already done a lot to improve its operating picture, and that the stock is fairly valued at $6.50:
While we recognize Sprint needs to turn the tide (quickly) in getting gross adds back in the door, we believe the Street underappreciates all it has done on the network side and the improvement in voluntary churn in markets where Network Vision has been done. Recall while S only has a 5x5 channel today, with the light up of the 2.5GHz spectrum it will have multiple 20x20 channels and a spectrum position that would be significantly deeper than many of its peers. In terms of the downside risk levels, we estimate the stock is trading at 8x EBITDA. In our view, a 20% yr/yr EBITDA growth rate is sustainable. Given this higher growth rate than its peers, we believe a 7.5x multiple is warranted. Applying this multiple, we arrive at valuation of about $6.50 share. We would view any weakness in the shares as an attractive buying opportunity. We continue to see potential catalysts for the shares including: the iPhone 6 launch, Network Vision completion, light up of more 2.5GHz spectrum channels, possible new partnerships and continued double digit EBITDA growth.

Are we back in Spain?Monday, November 2nd, 2009
We had a fantastic weekend, at least, a weekend as such, getting together with people and enjoying ourselves. Nonetheless, we had to do a few hours work Saturday or Sunday, but it wasn't too bad, I guess.
On Saturday we got together with a group of Spanish people living in Cairns or close to Cairns. Most of them have been in the country for over 25 years, so they're real Aussies now, although with a Spanish heart deep down. We organised a barbecue in Palm Cove, one of the beautiful beaches north of Cairns, problably the most beautiful of all. There was lots and lots of food and amongst them, Spanish omelette, croquettes and Russian salad, three of the many dishes that are always present in any Spanish outing or get together. You won't believe how much I enjoyed those dishes, reminded me of my mum and her cooking. I'm sooooo glad they're coming to visit us in just over four weeks…
We all had a laugh and I think Steve enjoyed himself a lot too. Normally he feels a bit left out when a group of Spanish speaking people get together. But because everybody here spoke both languages fluently, even himself although he will deny it so he can eavesdrop a bit, he was able to tell his jokes and stories and make everyone laugh.
It really felt like being at home again, so thank everybody for making it happen. Hopefully it won't be the last time.
And yesterday, Sunday, our neighbour Leanne invited us over to her place for lunch, with our other neighbours, Evelyn and Steve. Food was absolutely delicious, although I wish I could wash it down with a bit of wine, but I guess water will have to do for the time being. We moved from the lounge room to the garden, and kept on talking and talking. And of course, eating and drinking. And when we realised, it was already after 8pm. Just like a lazy Spanish lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I loved it so thanks Leanne as well.
Today we're back to work, full time, but my cousin is visiting for a couple of days. What a treat I'm having these last few days…

Bangladesh is to observe a national day of mourning for Syrian president Hafez Assad, officials said Monday.
The national flag will fly at half-mast across the predominantly Muslim country to coincide with Assad's funeral on Tuesday.
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed will be among world leaders attending the funeral of the Syrian leader, officials said, adding that she is due to leave late Monday for Damascus.
Bangladesh and Syria are both members of the 56-member Organization of Islamic Conference, based in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier the Bangladesh government expressed its condolences to Syria over the death of 69-year-old Assad, who died on Saturday, reportedly from a heart attack - DHAKA (AFP)

By Kelsey Quam, KF12 Ecuador
Since today is the last day of ¨Food Month¨ at Kiva, I´d like to share a recipe for humitas, corn-cheese tamales that are common throughout the highlands of Ecuador. Humitas are often made during the months of the corn harvest (August and September) when corn is abundant. They are often enjoyed in the evenings as a light snack accompanied by a hot cup of coffee.
6 ears of corn
1/2 cup of diced onion
1/4 cup of butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup of corn flour
8 ounces of mozzarella cheese diced into small cubes
2 cups of water
Begin by husking 6 ears of corn. Save all corn husks in whole pieces, as they will be used later. Boil the corn husks in a large pot of water for 1 minute, then remove.
Remove the corn from the cob by hand. Mix half of the corn in a blender with the onion until an even consistency is obtained. Mix the other half of the corn, the butter, baking powder, eggs, and corn flour in a blender until an even consistency is obtained. Combine the two mixtures and add the cheese.
Add ¼ cup of the corn puree to one or two corn husks and fold to seal (one end of the tamale should remain open after folding). Repeat this step with 34 corn husks and the rest of the corn puree. Tie the tamales with thin strands of shredded corn husk so the sides do not open while cooking.
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of water. Cover the vapor collection basket that sits at the bottom of the pot with half of the corn husks. Fill the pot with tamales facing vertically with the open parts facing upward. Cover the tamales with the remaining corn husks. Cover the pot and bring the water to a strong boil. Reduce the heat and cook the tamales for 30 minutes, or until they become firm.

Some Movies
I haven't had a chance to write about many movies over the past few months, so here are some stray, incomplete thoughts and blazingly subjective opinions on various films, before I completely forget my first impressions...
The Amazing Spider-Man. I've come to the conclusion that I don't much like super-hero movies, and my love of The Amazing Spider-Man, which most people seem to feel at best lukewarm about, is probably because it's not much of a super-hero movie. I didn't care for Sam Raimi's three Spider-Man movies much — indeed, I thought number 2, which some people I know consider the greatest super-hero movie of all time, worked vastly better when played at 1.5 speed, and probably would have been even better played faster, if the voices didn't sound like The Chipmunks. I went into The Amazing Spider-Man with very low expectations, then, and those expectations were exceeded all around. The casting is ultimately the film's greatest strength, because Andrew Garfield (who I've been fascinated by since Boy A) has a wonderful mix of insouciance, nerdiness, and intelligence that plays charmingly off of Emma Stone's typically bouncy/breathy Emma Stone performance. Denis Leary, Sally Field, Martin Sheen, and Campbell Scott are all delights, as well. The story really isn't much, Rhys Ifans doesn't have a whole lot to work with as the villain, and the special effects, while fine, are nothing particularly special for a film of this budget and type. But I never cared, because I loved hanging out with these characters.
Argo. A fun thriller with a surprisingly low body count. We're used to thrillers in which lots of people die, and yet this is in more than one way an old-school movie, a movie that is optimistic about the world-changing power of cinema, and nostalgic for a time when people thought movies could be a force for good in the world. At its core, it's a true story, but the liberties taken with the more mundane truths of the tale are all ones that fit the story into a conventional Hollywood mode. (More unfortunately conventional is its marginalizing of women.) And that's the point, as Jim Emerson has astutely written. It's enjoyable enough as a thriller, but it's more interesting as an exploration of audience expectations, genre conventions, and what we desire from our "true stories".
Beasts of the Southern Wild. I've been arguing with myself about this movie for a month now, which means I need to watch it a few more times. On the one hand, I was completely taken in by the performance of Quvenzhané Wallis as Hushpuppy, I found some of the cinematography lovely, and I found the ending moving. (The music totally got me.) On the other hand, it felt at times a bit too close to "noble savage" myths for comfort. What I want to look more closely at with a later viewing is the way the film uses Hushpuppy's point of view — as a child, she does her best to make sense of events and circumstances through her own perception, and because the movie is told through her eyes, her perception becomes ours (hence, the aurochs, which I also loved). While the surface of the film may seem to celebrate the self-reliance of the denizens of the Bathtub, and while Hushpuppy's abusive, alcoholic father Wink is celebrated with a lovely funeral at the end ... I didn't come away feeling that the movie itself was unambiguously celebrating all this. I was not left with an uplifting sense of the wondrous potential of human ingenuity in the face of disaster; instead, I left the film feeling overwhelmed by how limited the characters' choices were, how much they had been abandoned by the world beyond them, how much they had been forced to make do by a country that ultimately didn't really care that much if they washed away into the ocean. On the other hand, while I don't agree with the perspective of the Beasts-haters in this discussion at Slate, and even less so with the perspective of bell hooks, their points are worth considering, and I don't have good answers to some of them. On the other hand, there was a lot I enjoyed in the movie, a lot it made me think about, good and bad. (For other views, see Matt Denault at Strange Horizons and N.K. Jemison.)
The Cabin in the Woods. Maybe I'm just impervious to the charms of Joss Whedon (not maybe: I am), but I got to the end of this film, which Whedon co-wrote and produced, and was stuck thinking, "Really? That's all you've got?" I know lots of people find the movie clever, amusing, and innovative, but for me Mark Olsen at The Village Voice summed it up well: "A horror comedy with a structural twist intended to emit an air of being something more, Cabin has an off-putting vibe of cocky self-confidence, a 'don't you get it' conviction that it's something special. As with people, it's not a charming quality in a movie."
The Dark Knight Rises. Ugh. The Honest Trailer got it right. There were moments in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that I enjoyed well enough, despite the terrible scripts and plodding direction, but The Dark Knight Rises was just atrocious, the ungainly love child of Cecil B. DeMille and Leni Riefenstahl. It's time for me to give up on Christopher Nolan; the only one of his movies I've completely enjoyed was The Prestige, and both Inception and The Dark Knight Rises were for me symphonies of boredom and annoyance.
Django Unchained. I never really liked a Quentin Tarantino movie until Inglorious Basterds. There were things I admired in his earlier work, particularly his ability to fill banal moments with tension, but I just didn't care much about whatever it was he cared about. And then came Inglorious Basterds, where suddenly so many of Tarantino's influences were ones I knew well, having grown up with the World War II movies beloved of my father (the Hollywood movies mostly, but also plenty of German ones — I remember falling asleep while he watched an unsubtitled videotape of Kolberg). For once, a Tarantino movie felt vaguely morally complex, as if he'd reached a point in his life when he not only wanted to celebrate the movies he loved and revel in the pleasures of a revenge narrative, but to wonder what those movies and pleasures had done to him. Django Unchained lacks some of the complexities and ambiguities of Basterds, but it's a different beast. Where World War II and the Holocaust have been subject to every sort of cinematic representation from The Great Dictator to Night and Fog to Schindler's List to Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS; American slavery has been narrower in its representations, more fraught. As Steven Barnes points out in an excellent piece on Django Unchained, popular culture (for better or worse) thrives on revenge narratives, but there has never been a movie about slavery that ends with unambiguously successful revenge by a slave. And that's what Django Unchained gives us. Its ending images are thrilling in a way no movie (to my knowledge) has ever been allowed to be thrilling before. While Inglorious Basterds is more morally complex because it provides moments suggesting we might not want to be so proud of ourselves for our revenge fantasies, Django Unchained just says: "You've never really been able to indulge in this fantasy before. Here you go. If you can't have fun fantasizing brutal deaths for slavers, when can you have fun fantasizing brutal deaths?" Interestingly, Tarantino doesn't merely let us fantasize brutal deaths for the slave-owners and -sellers themselves. He flips the normal racial hierarchy of black/white buddy stories, where we all know that the black guy's got to die so the white guy can live on and tell the tale. Not here. While much of the movie is dominated by Christoph Waltz's charmingly brutal Dr. King Schultz, the emotional force is all on Django's side, and he's the one who gets to finish the work. The effect is like taking a pile of nitrate-based prints of Gone with the Wind and setting them on fire.
I had some reservations about the movie — it's very male, for one thing, and if we're indulging in fantasies, I don't see why Tarantino couldn't have had more female characters contributing to the mayhem. Kerry Washington as Broomhilde especially gets short-changed. Django should have tossed her a shotgun and let her rip. (A note on the name Broomhilde: while the spelling is amusing, it makes sense that all the non-German-speaking characters would spell it that way. Christoph Waltz always seemed to pronounce it correctly as Brunhilde, as he should, since he's the one who explains the story of Siegfried and Brunhilde to Django. See also, as I'm sure Tarantino has, Fritz Lang's magnificent Die Nibelungen.)
What are we to make of Samuel L. Jackson's character, Stephen? It's the most flagrantly racist portrait in the movie, and the flagrancy is clearly intentional, because neither Tarantino nor Jackson are complete idiots. As always with Tarantino, there are no answers except in movies past, and Stephen seemed to me an embodiment of the "uncle Tom" figure common to so many old films, the kind of character many black actors were forced to spend a career playing. This makes me want to revisit Donald Bogle's classic Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks before seeing Django Unchained again, because Bogle's description of the "tom" character type sums up much of Stephen's character:
Always as toms are chased, harassed, hounded, flogged, enslaved, and insulted, they keep the faith, n'er turn against their white massas, and remain hearty, submissive, stoic, generous, selfless, and oh-so-very kind. Thus they endear themselves to white audiences and emerge as heroes of sorts.The name of course comes from Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the effect of the 1927 silent film adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel did much to perpetuate the most pernicious elements of the stereotype, as Bogle documents:
Tom still came off as a genial darky, furnished with new color but no new sentiments. Yet to [actor James B.] Lowe's credit, he did his tomming with such an arresting effectiveness that he was sent to England on a promotional tour to ballyhoo the picture, thus becoming the first black actor to be publicized by his studio. The film also introduced the massive baptism scene, which later became a Hollywood favorite. Curiously, in 1958 this version of Uncle Tom's Cabin, although silent, was reissued with an added prologue by Raymond Massey. Because it arrived just when the sit-ins were erupting in the South, many wondered if by reissuing the film Universal Studios hoped to remind the restless black masses of an earlier, less turbulent period, when obeying one's master was the answer to every black man's problems.This, it seems to me, is the character Jackson is portraying, and the loathing we are meant to feel for him is, then, not a loathing for any real person or historical character, but for the one "good Negro" type allowed over decades of popular American cinema. His fate in Django Unchained is one many black viewers must have yearned for, secretly, for a long time.
Headhunters. An entertaining and often surprising Norwegian thriller that does a marvelous job of starting out as a slow-paced, ostentatiously "realistic" movie and then metamorphosing into a fast-paced twist-upon-twist grand guignol. I've seen few thriller that so well make their form an essential part of their thrills. Just as we're beginning to get a bit bored, just as we're beginning to wonder if this movie will ever actually go anywhere, just when we think we've figured it out all — bang. The story is pure hokum and all the better for it. The realism of the first part of the film prepares us to accept all the absurdities of the later part of the story, and thus our pleasure (and terror) is ramped up in a way a more conventional movie could never achieve.
How to Survive a Plague. A powerful, important documentary about ACT-UP's quest to get the world to care about AIDS deaths and treatment. For people who don't remember life before effective AIDS drugs existed, this is essential viewing. I found it wrenching, because my first awareness of what life as a gay man means was formed during the years ACT-UP was most active, and I remember watching a 60 Minutes report about them that terrified and exhilarated me. It wasn't until my junior year of college that the cocktail of effective drugs was declared effective — I remember reading an article by, I think, Andrew Sullivan in the New York Times declaring that AIDS could now become a manageable chronic illness, and I thought he was being hyperbolic and ridiculous, and yet I also hoped he was, even to a small extent, correct. I'd been to some ACT-UP events myself at that point (nearly got arrested at a protest against the Pope). Seeing the footage of the assembly room at the Community Center brought back memories I didn't even realize I had. The story is told well, though inevitably by focusing on the treatment group, various other aspects and offshoots of ACT-UP are left out. I'll be curious to compare it to another new documentary on ACT-UP, United in Anger, which I haven't yet been able to see.
The Innkeepers. Writer-director Ti West has been getting lots of press as a low-budget horror movie wunderkind, but so far, I'm a skeptic. The Innkeepers in particular seems to me to be horror for people who don't want things to be particularly horrifying, but prefer to have a tedious story and shallow characters moving through the familiar turns and motifs of a million other horror movies. If you thought the one thing horror really lacked was a mumblecore sensibility, then this is the movie for you. (At least it's not as self-satisfied as Cabin in the Woods, or quite so tedious as West's earlier Trigger Man.)
Killer Joe. Worth seeing for the performances, maybe, but pretty noxious overall. Apparently, some people find the film to be darkly humorous, but I just couldn't access the humor here. It's ultimately a movie about stupid people getting brutally punished for their stupidity, and it climaxes (literally) with a scene where the audience is encouraged to be thrilled by the beating and obscene degradation of Gina Gershon's character, Sharla. It's well made, but a perfect example of a film that does well that which is not worth doing at all.
The Life of Pi. Not as bad as it could have been. I found the first half hour a bit slow and the imagery in the central part of the film schlocky in an unappealing way, like a Hallmark card come to life. That said, I loved the final monologue by Irrfan Khan, and the twist at the end (preserved from the book) in some ways thematically justifies the Hallmarkyness of what has gone before. The film does a good job of raising the question of what we desire from stories and life, but that wasn't really enough to make it a particularly memorable or visceral experience.
The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum. I'd been meaning to get around to this classic of New German Cinema, directed by Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta, for years, but didn't until recently. It's a perfect complement to more expansive, wild portraits of terrorism and Germany in the 1970s such as Baader Meinhof Complex and Fassbinder's Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven and The Third Generation. (It actually has a lot in common with Mother Kusters, which was released just a few months earlier in 1975.) It also seems to me to be a particularly fine example of how a style of objective, unemotional realism can be used to foster real emotion in an audience and also to suggest depths of history and psychology that would feel forced, obvious, or too convenient if presented through more obvious exposition. We don't really know much for sure about Katharina, especially in the first half of the film. We learn along with everyone else what has happened, and the truth of it all, while apparently present, is nearly lost amid the accusations. We as the audience have to do some work, and there are some things we'll never know. While very much a film of its time and place, it also very much transcends those particularities, as Amy Taubin points out in her Criterion essay on the film. For America in the Age of the War on Terror, it is a cautionary tale, indeed.
The Master. A movie I very much need to see again before I can decide quite how I felt about it, because the only feeling I had after a first viewing was indifference. I left with admiration for some of the cinematography and performances, and a complete inability to emotionally connect with any of it. I didn't care about the characters in any way, couldn't have cared less if they all died in a nuclear holocaust or suddenly created peace on earth. If the movie had ended after half an hour, I would have felt about what I felt about it after 144 minutes, and if it had lasted for 444 minutes I probably would have started moaning and writhing in my seat, but been no more or less enlightened than I was. Some viewers and critics I generally respect feel passionately about this movie, and I hope with a second viewing I can begin to access some of what might cause someone to feel passion one way or the other about it.
Melancholia. In the first half hour, I thought I would hate this film. Stupid rich people at a stupid wedding being stupid. I was about to turn it off when something clicked. And then it really clicked. And I was entranced. Moved. Astounded. Shocked. Perplexed. Blown away. A perfect complement to another movie from 2011, The Tree of Life (a movie I continue to think about, wrestle with, and about which I am somewhat more ambiguous in my love for than Melancholia, although it is still love). Melancholia seems at times to be about nothing, and that may partly be some of the point, but to really get at all the somethings within its apparent nothingness, check out Steven Shaviro's extraordinary exploration of it.
Moonrise Kingdom. Easily my favorite movie of 2012. I love Wes Anderson's movies, but I've now watched Moonrise Kingdom three times and been entranced even beyond his other films. It's a marvelous synergy of casting, writing, design, and filming. I haven't come up with any good explanations or interpretations of its wonder; all I know is that it is delightful in every way.
Oslo, August 31st. I adored director/writer Joachim Trier's first feature, Reprise, which also starred Anders Danielsen Lie as a troubled young man. Oslo, August 31st is a less jaunty, more focused movie than Reprise, but each film's style fits the tale it has to tell. Lie's performance is so captivating, so perfectly modulated that it doesn't really matter if, in the end, we say, "So what?" The so what is that we've spent time with someone struggling against his addictions, struggling to connect to other people, struggling to feel something, struggling to find meaning in his life. The first hour or so of the film is absolutely perfect, because it makes us care about someone who is easy to write off, and it makes us want for him to succeed. When he slips into a party and takes his first drink in ten months, the effect is overwhelming. We know how this will end. He's told us. We keep hoping he will change, that a great light of illumination will suddenly move him away from self-destruction, but this story has no interest in fantasy, it has no interest in being feel-good entertainment. The ending is not satisfying. It shouldn't be. It's important that we end with the question, "So what?" in our heads, because that is the question Anders himself never escapes. His answer is unsatisfying. We are left to each find our own ways to answer it differently.
Sleep Dealer. A little science fiction movie about the U.S/Mexico border, drone attacks, guilt, and hope. There's nothing particularly innovative or subtle here, but the story is told well, and it's a story eminently worth telling. It was not a big-budget film, so some of the special effects are a bit clumsy when compared to $200-million blockbusters, but it doesn't matter, because it's not primarily a movie about its effects. The plot turns are mostly predictable, but that doesn't mean they're wrong. The familiarity of some of the plotting allows us to think about other things that few more surprisingly-plotted films do: questions of identity, militarism, class. Sleep Dealer is hardly perfect, but it's more interesting and engaging than at least half of what's slithering through the multiplexes right now.

Miscegenation of Life

Dear Amy:
Both of my parents are Irish immigrants, so I've been raised saying things like "me coat" and calling my mother "Mum."
I also spell words with the Irish spelling rather than the American way.
I am 15 years old, and my friends have started catching on, spelling things the same way and using the same phrases and language as me.
At first, I didn't really mind, but now it's becoming annoying.
I feel as if they are trying to take away my culture, especially now that one of my friends, "Janet," is using random Gaelic phrases. I know these phrases because my parents are fluent in Gaelic.
I don't know how to get my friends to stop attempting to take over my culture. What's your advice--
--Ireland Forever
Dear Forever:
Using the Irish vernacular doesn't mean your friends are taking your parents' native culture any more than dancing to the soundtrack of "Slumdog Millionaire" makes any of us a Bollywood star--but we're all allowed our cross-cultural fantasies, right--
Ideally, you'd be flattered by this sort of appropriation, but I can understand how listening to your friends say "me Mum" would get old.
I admit to being one of those individuals who instantly appropriates the language and accent of the person I'm speaking with, until a friend warned that my flat Eastern accent didn't lend itself well to "kvelling" and "kvetching." So I stopped.
Your friends are fascinated by your culture. We, Americans, tend to believe that our own culture is boring and flavorless.
But--as we are fond of reminding anyone still listening--it's a free country, and your friends have the right to be annoying.
Your best defense is to laugh when your friend "Janet" gets your Irish up.
"What's so funny, pal-o-mine--" she'll ask.
"You're as Irish as Jennifer Lopez, but hey--good try!"
Dear Amy:
I am really struggling with a break up. breakup.
We dated for three years and, like all couples, had our issues, but nothing major.
Everything seemed to be going well, and then all of the sudden he started to do things that were completely out of character.
I confronted him about his actions and he said, "If I think you're miserable, I will break up with you because I don't think you would be able to handle it," and then he broke up with me.
Now I think about him constantly.
Should I reach out to him or wait to see if he tries to contact me-- He knows where I stand as far as wanting to fix things. I would do anything to work things out!
--Bummed Over Break
Dear Bummed:
Your ex knows where you stand, and he knows you're motivated to work things out. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to share your goals.
The coward's way out of a relationship is to behave badly and then basically dare the other person to object to the infraction. Throwing down the gauntlet was part of his exit strategy. He has dared you to tolerate this break-up, so rise to his challenge and do well.
Don't call him--he owes you an apology.
Dear Amy:
I'm challenging your response to "Peter."
He complained about what he called graduation "money grab" announcements and invitations from graduates that he doesn't know well.
You advised him to just send a card, which is fine.
But then you suggested obviously insulting wording to add to the card: "You don't know us very well, but we understand you're graduating from a school of some sort."
"We understand you're graduating from a school of some sort--" In response to a school announcement--
Amy, why would you suggest that someone be so courteous as to send a card, and then include such an obviously insulting note--
Do you honestly think it's appropriate to insult someone just because they sent a graduation announcement--
--Seattle Reader
Dear Reader:
The line you cite was another in a series of lame attempts at humor.
I apologize.

Twenty-Four Guantanamo Detainees on 'Hunger Strike-Lite'
(GUANTANAMO Bay, Cuba) -- Twenty-four of the 166 detainees at the Guantanamo Bay camp in Cuba are said to be on a hunger strike, but maybe not in the truest definition of the phrase.
In a briefing with Pentagon reporters today, Gen. John Kelly, the commander of U.S. Southern Command, described it more as "hunger strike-lite." He labeled claims by some of the detainees' attorneys that the hunger strike is in response to the mishandling of Qurans at the facility as "nonsense."
"Generally speaking, we think about 24 of them are on, say, hunger strike-lite, where they're eating a bit but not a lot," Kelly said. "But they've declared that they're not eating."
He said Guantanamo handlers define a hunger strike as missing nine meals in a row.
Kelly says the 24 detainees have declared they are on a hunger strike either because they have decided "that they need to be heard perhaps more than they have been," or in a bid to "regain some attention."
He explained that detainees at Guantanamo are held in individual cells or in a communal setting. The detainees housed in the cells receive individual meals but those in the communal setting receive food provided in bulk.
"Often, it's semi-prepared, sometimes not prepared, they prepare it themselves to their own taste and whatnot," Kelly said. "So it's kind of hard for us to say that, you know, detainee number one, two, whatever, is not eating nine meals in a row. And we have observation into the communal area and into the cells and we can see what they're up to and all."
Of the claims that Qurans were mishandled by Guantanamo personnel in recent weeks, Kelly said, "It's nonsense. There's absolutely no mishandling of the Qurans."
He said there is nothing wrong with non-Muslims handling a Quran. He described how several times during his deployments to Iraq he was presented with copies of the Quran as gifts.
Even so, he said Guantanamo officials ensure that the only personnel who can touch a Quran are the Muslim translators who work there. "No way has a Quran in any way, shape or form been in any way abused or mistreated, so their claims are nonsense," he said.
Kelly seemed to attribute the detainees' actions to a combination of factors, namely that Guantanamo is not mentioned publicly by the Obama administration these days. Other than participating in the supposed hunger strike, he said, the detainees did not seem to be, "acting out in any way that's really unusual for them."
There are eight detainees who are routinely force fed but don't seem to be on real hunger strikes, he said. "We have eight of the detainees that present themselves daily, calmly and in totally cooperative way to be fed through a tube."
"We also know they're eating when they're in the cells. And I think that's just in their cases, just their attempt at some level of resistance to demonstrate their displeasure at what's going on. So that's the way we see it."

Dual Chamber Pacemakers with Measurement Lock-up ERI
View specific models that this applies to
Kappa 600/700/800/900. EnPulse, Adapta, Versa, Sensia, Relia, and Vitatron Models E50A1, E60A1 and G70A1
Purpose of this Information
This Performance Note describes a rare measurement lock-up issue that impacts the Medtronic dual chamber pacemakers listed above. If this measurement lock-up occurs, the device will trigger a false Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI). A reset is available to clear this condition and there is no need to explant the device. This issue does not impact battery longevity.
If this rare measurement lock-up occurs in the pacemaker, it causes the device to read a value of zero for battery voltage. After four measurements of zero, the device will trigger ERI and revert to a VVI pacing mode at 65 bpm. There is no loss of ventricular pacing and the output voltage will remain the same.
Programmer Software Reset Method (Adapta, Versa, Sensia, Relia, Vitatron Series E and G)
Programmer software is available which can differentiate a regular ERI and an ERI caused by the measurement lock-up issue. Upon interrogation of a device with the measurement lock-up ERI, the programmer software recognizes the issue and guides the clinician to clear the ERI (Example 1). Following an ERI reset, the device parameters should be reviewed and reprogrammed to clinician specifications.
Reset Method for Kappa and EnPulse
A service tool continues to be available through Medtronic Technical Services to clear the measurement lock-up issue for Kappa and EnPulse devices.
The issue can be identified using the programmer or via CareLink transmission; the battery voltage measurements and remaining longevity will appear as blank values (Example 2). If this measurement lock-up occurs, contact Medtronic Brady Technical Services at 1-800-505-4636 for assistance.

Hot Dog (23,000 Of Them): MLB Planning All-Star Feast-ivities During All-Star Events
June 29, 2010: When the 2010 All-Star Game and such surrounding events as the State Farm Home Run Derby move into Angel Stadium at Anaheim in July, players such as Derek Jeter and Albert Pujols will be stepping to the plate even as fans are filling their plates.
Major League Baseball is working in conjunction with Aramark — the exclusive food and beverage partner for the host Angels and 11 other MLB teams — to offer regional menu favorites from throughout the league. Each item will not only represent the stadium and city in which it is served, it also will be authentic as each ballpark's executive chef will be on hand to oversee the cooking.
This will be in addition to the usual baseball fare served at Angel Stadium during the 2010 season. According to Aramark, for the All-Star festivities from July 9-13, concession stands at Angel Stadium expect to serve:
- 23,000 hot dogs
- 17,600 bags of peanuts
- 8,200 orders of nachos
- 5.200 bottles of water
- 3,300 sausage and pepper sandwiches
- 2,400 orders of chicken tenders
- 2,200 hamburgers
- 1,600 gallons of ice cream.
Aramark also said that it plans to have on hand 800 gallons of ketchup, 600 gallons of mustard and 78,000 pounds of ice.
There will also be a "Dueling BBQ" event, with a BBQ destination on each side of Angel Stadium, one from an American League team and one from a National League team. Fans will be able to decide who among Aramark's chefs is baseball's best and which league has the best ballpark food, with real-time results of the barbecue competition displayed at each stand.
"The recognition that our award-winning ballpark menus have garnered speaks to the talent of the culinary staff participating in this inaugural 'Dueling BBQ' event," Brian Stapleton, corporate executive chef for Aramark Sports and Entertainment, said in a statement. "We look forward to providing fans with a tour of the cuisine available throughout Major League Baseball and continuing to diversify the menus at our partner ballparks."
The food being served especially for the All-Star Game and surrounding events represents six American League teams and six National League teams:
- Los Angeles Angeles/Angel Stadium: Halo Foot Long Dog
- New York Mets/Citi Field: Citi Field Twisted Sausage & Pepper Sandwich
- Philadelphia Phillies/Citizens Bank Park: Citizens Bank Park Summer Dog
- Colorado Rockies/Coors Field: Blake Street Burrito
- Boston Red Sox/Fenway Park: New England Lobster Roll
- Kansas City Royals/Kauffman Stadium: Kansas City Ribeye Stack
- Houston Astros/Minute Maid Park: Texas-style Pulled Pork BBQ Nacho
- Oakland A's/Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum: Oakland "A's" Dog
- Baltimore Orioles/Oriole Park at Camden Yards: Maryland Lump Crab Dog
- Pittsburgh Pirates/PNC Park: Pittsburgh-style Pastrami Sandwich
- Toronto Blue Jays/Rogers Centre: Old Canadian Whiskey Smoked BBQ Beef Ribs
- Atlanta Braves/Turner Field: Knucksie Open-Faced Southern Sandwich
According to Marc Bruno, president of Aramark Sports, Entertainment and Conventions, "Providing fans with a taste of the distinct, local flavors available each night across Major League Baseball is sure to add another layer of competition and enthusiasm to the 2010 All-Star Game experience. This will be a showcase of the best baseball players and the best ballpark food available anywhere in the big leagues."

Eisen Alliance
I am a "reformed" employment lawyer -- who has returned to her resource connecting or matchmaking roots
I have a passion for helping entities find consultants who will help them grow. I love finding and promoting consultants who have the intelligence, insight and professionalism to meet all types of challenges. And, I'm looking forward to growing to "we" in the near future.
I'd like the logo to express concepts of connection, partnership, alliance, and growth. Trust and warmth are also vital in this business.
Two audiences:
(1) Companies that are in transition (for example, exploring a new way to increase productivity or media exposure), especially small and mid-sized companies in the healthcare and environment industries.
(2) Top in their field consultants -- ones that are the best and have little time to spend on marketing.
The words Eisen Alliance must be clear and easy to read. I'd like a graphic element which is versatile -- something that I can use both vertical and horizontal. I tend to lean towards graphics that convey a sense of movement and relationship rather than stasis. I do not like squares or triangles.
I'm open to new ideas about colors. Blue and green are popular for energy and healthcare (so feel free to use them) but I'd like to see something different as well.

by Debby Berry
Filed Under: Uncategorized
Several weeks ago I shared Debby's words about transformation with the women at Whitworth Women's Prison in Georgia. They were so excited to get it deep down in their spirit that God loves them and He adores them. I had the entire gym repeating it as loud as they could. I wish you could have heard them. Thank you, Debby, for sharing all that you do! What a blessing!
Tara Gazzuolo
When I read the words penned by my friend Debby Berry, I know they are rooted in the truth revealed to her through God's Word. I am consistently encouraged to reach deeper into intimacy with my God, the One who adores me.
Lisa Troyer
God has brought me to reality many times through Debby's writing. Her study of scripture has allowed me to see God's hand in my circumstance when I haven't been able to see it myself.
Susie Whitson
I love the simple, consistent, yet profound reminder that God is for me and He adores me. I'm always reminded of God's powerful grace that knows no bounds, and I can count on reminders of hope every time I visit Debby's page.
Janice Foster
I have had the pleasure of sitting under Debby's teaching in a group setting and individually. She has a unique, straightforward way of communicating the truth of what 'who we are in Christ' actually means. There is no way you can walk away from a time with Debby and the Word and NOT feel adored and strengthened. A much needed part of a walk with the Lord.
Terry S.
My walk with the Lord has been delightfully impacted by Debby Berry's words. They're always full of fresh, witty and honest thoughts that have you looking inward at yourself and your walk with Him. I'm motivated by the exhortation, and comforted by the encouragement. I know that when I read an excerpt I will be challenged to 'live my faith out loud!'. Debby's blog is like having a 'get real' resource in knowing who Christ is, and how to pursue Him!
Sharon Bogart
When Debby Berry speaks, whether in person or in her writings, it is as if the Lord Himself sent a message to you straight through her. She is completely in tune to how much the Lord loves and adores us and she is a willing vessel to send that message loud and clear to anyone who is listening.
Julianna Sproul
Several years ago, I attended two sessions taught by Debby at a national conference. Even though most of my contact with Debby has 'just' been via reading her posts (not 'in person'), I consider her my mentor and look forward to gleaning more from the lessons God is teaching her. Through her teaching, God not only reinforced truths He had been showing me over the past several years (which I was beginning to doubt), but He urged me to always trust His Word over circumstances.
Cindy Bowden Wessel
Debby has definitely impacted my spiritual journey. I mean, how often have I asked, 'Do you have your teaching on DVD?' Both times I heard her at the NWLC in Kansas City, I came away with a distinct word from God.
Jackie Harris
