Communication was excellent with Team ShiftingWale.Com, the relocation went smoothly and the driver was excellent. Efficient, friendly and polite. Tiny point, we could not get a clearer time for collection (morning) which meant that the people (sons) providing loading assistance could not be given time to be present. Eventually, the packing team had to wait 40 minutes but made no problem of that, he had a cup of coffee and checked the items to be packed and loaded properly. Thanks to team Shiftingwale for the communication, timely and informative. all activities when I shift my household goods from Naxal, Kathmandu Nepal To Neemrana Rajasthan, packing and loading on 12th December and they deliver all things and unload at Neemrana on 15th December within 4 days, Would certainly recommend ShiftingWale Moving and will use again should that be necessary.

Absolutely good experience with ShiftingWale.Com Packing and Moving Company in Kathmandu Nepal. I contacted ShiftingWale.Com because I need to move household goods from Kathmandu Nepal to Pune India. from the first day I get in touch with them, their professionalism on quoting and pricing attracted me. Later when packing team job started at Kathmandu as packing of all household items in very professional manner, three of their guys made the job done smoothly, ShiftingWale given delivery at Pune Maharashtra in 9th day, every thing was perfect shiftingWale handle every thing as packing, loading, transportation Nepal India border Custom Clearance after reaching Pune they unload and unpack all household goods safely. I would say I will use them again if I need to move other domestic or international location. I wish all the Best for team ShiftingWale.Com Services.
I Manish Prasad moved my entire family (grandparents and parents) from Kathmandu, Nepal to Gurgaon, India on 19th Dec. 2018, after having lived in the country for 30 yrs. I am very grateful to Rawat sir and his ShiftingWale.Com team for their assistance and quality service in helping me pack and move my household goods. I will their service into stages for clarity, Pre-sales and Follow up: My Relationship Manager was Ms. Asha and she did a fabulous job of following up with information and for payments, striking the perfect balance between being effective but not being pushy. I have to thank her for taking my calls 100 % of the time, even when she was on vacation. She made sure that all my questions were answered either by her or Rawat sir. Her work ethic and commitment deserve laurels and I hope the company treats her well. If it were not for Asha, I would not have engaged ShiftingWale.Com, Period. Packing and Loading: ShiftingWale team (Santosh and Rahul) showed up a day before the D-day for loading with packing material, etc. This was reassuring because the entire plan was based on the household items being dispatched on 18th. To have the team show up one day in advance added a huge degree of certainty to the execution. I have seen ShiftingWale team as partners across this journey, thanks to the relationship built by Ms. Asha, and Santos and Rahul did not disappoint either. Rahul made sure that all the critical items were wrapped and packed by him first hand. He also made sure that my mummy did not have to leave things behind, and made her quite happy by making sure that even the smallest thing she valued was packed. We did have a few jitters during the loading, but I am certain it had more to with the Nepalese counterparts than with ShiftingWale. Even under the circumstances, both Rahul and Santosh stayed back and left only after the entire stuff was loaded. The stacking on the truck was done by these two as well, and I could tell that they were taking care that the placement of cartons was designed as per the delicacy of items in them. Rahul dedication was commendable and he made sure in reassuring that my prized possessions were in good hands. Delivery and Unloading: The delivery was immediate despite the challenges faced by the ShiftingWale.Com team at the border. I received the goods on 23rd December (exactly 4 days after they left Kathmandu on 19th), as promised/ expected. Once the truck was parked, the unloading and unwrapping was done by the crew. This part has the least amount of effort but it is also like harvest in many ways. There is a sense of joy associated with unwrapping simple old relics that you have grown up with and find them unscathed, undamaged and unscarred. I must say that the team made me happy with the work. I thoroughly enjoyed their partnership in helping me move, and will definitely engage them in future for any shifting/ packing/ moving needs. I would also recommend their services to those looking for packer/ mover services, THANKS TO TEAM SHIFTINGWALE...

It's early September, and everybody is anxious for the football season to finally get underway. I can certainly relate.
As I write this, I'm counting down the minutes (right now there's 418 to go) until the Giants and Cowboys begin the NFL season in a game that will already be in the books by the time anybody reads this.
The NCAA finished its opening slate of games, and the NFL and all the local high schools will follow suit this weekend.
And when most of the teams walk off the field after week one – college, NFL or high school – we'll be excited because we just watched football for the first time in a long time. But will we really know anything?
Think about it. What do we actually learn from week one?
It all depends on which teams we're talking about.
For a high school team like Warwick Vets, week one success or failure has been a sign of things to come over the past five seasons, while the same can't be said for Pilgrim.
When Vets last won its season opening game, in 2007, it went undefeated in league play. The next four years it lost its opening game every year, and had poor win-loss records in three of those years.
Pilgrim, a Division II team, lost 28-18 to Division III Classical last year, and then went on to have its best regular season (3-4) in seven years.
The year before, the Pats knocked off Classical 20-16 and then went 0-7 in league play.
Go figure.
Maybe it's just teams called the Patriots who don't follow their opening week trends. In 2002, the New England Patriots beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-14 to open the season.
The Patriots ended the season 9-7 and missed out on the playoffs. In contrast, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their first game en route to a 12-4 record and a Super Bowl championship.
The following year, 2003, the Patriots lost 31-0 to the Buffalo Bills in the season's opening game.
The Patriots ended up 14-2 and won the Super Bowl.
What about Bishop Hendricken, a high school team that has played in the past three Division I Super Bowls?
Three years ago, the Hawks lost 22-10 to Division II South Kingstown in week one, and then advanced to the Super Bowl before losing to Barrington.
The next two years, Hendricken beat St. Raphael 27-0 and 51-12 in its first game of the year, and then went on to win the Super Bowl both times.
So if the past three years are any indication, you can pencil the Hawks in for a Super Bowl win with an opening game win, and a Super Bowl loss with an opening game loss.
And finally, there's the perplexing tale of Toll Gate. The Titans have won their past four opening games, and had a winning season only once. They've also had two 3-4 seasons and a winless campaign.
Sound confusing? It is, but don't let any of that stuff stop you from drawing conclusions after watching your team play this weekend. You could very well have it all figured out.
The worst-case scenario is that you don't. Either way, you still get the thrill of watching football for the first time since last season.
It just not might not end up being meaningful football. Or…maybe it will be. My head hurts.

John F. Reinhart, the Virginia Port Authority CEO appointed eight months ago and given the task of reversing the money-losing enterprise's finances, is the highest-paid port executive on the East Coast and perhaps in the nation, a Daily Press review of port salaries shows.
This year, Reinhart's base salary is $450,000. If he meets a set of performance benchmarks, he will qualify for a bonus of up to 50 percent of his salary — up to $225,000 — potentially bringing his 2014 earnings to $675,000.
And come February 2015, his base salary will rise to $618,750 — a raise of $168,750, or 37.5 percent.

Former medical examiner reaches plea deal
RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) – The former medical examiner for Oneida and Forest counties who was accused of taking body parts from autopsies has reached a plea deal with prosecutors. Forty-six-year-old Traci England pleaded guilty to two counts of misconduct in public office Friday in Oneida County Circuit Court. Charges of theft and obstructing an officer were dismissed. England told investigators in Oneida County she kept a piece of cadaver spine during a 2012 autopsy in order to train her dog. She's also accused of keeping tissue from a body in another autopsy the same day in Forest County. WSAW-TV (http://bit.ly/LqGKJk ) reports sentencing is Feb. 10.

OXFORD, Miss. (Sept. 10, 2009) - After picking up its first victory last week, the ETSU women's soccer team looks to contiune its winning ways as they open the first of three straight road matches with a 8:00 p.m., contest Friday at regionally ranked Ole Miss.
The Bucs enter their contest with the Rebels with a 1-4 record, with three one-goal defeats among their losses.
In its last road game, ETSU showed its toughness dropping reinging Big South champion Radford, 2-1. After the Highlanders tied the match late in regulation, ETSU immediately moved down the pitch where sophomore midfielder Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio), took a long pass down the right side. The second year starter then crossed an outstanding pass over to junior forward Terri Miller (Cape Coral, Fla.), who fired home the game-winner with two minutes to play.
Also leading the Bucs individually are senior forward Jordan Monty (Mesquite, Texas) and sophomore keeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.). Monty leads the ETSU offense with two goals on 14 shots, while Masch sits third among Atlantic Sun Conference keepers with 24 saves.
The Rebels (3-1-0) welcome the Bucs to Ole Miss Soccer Stadium after rolling in their last three contests. After outscoring its opponents 10-0 last week, Ole Miss climbed to No. 7 in the recent NSCAA South regional poll.
Individually, junior Taylor Cunningham and freshman Arielle Cohen lead the Ole Miss offensive attack. Both forwards are among the Southeastern Conference scoring leaders, with three goals and seven points apiece.
On the defensive side of the ball Ole Miss has dominated the opposition this fall. The Rebels backline has posted three shutouts, in addition to allowing only one goal in 19 shot attempts.
In their only previous meeting the Bucs opened the 2006 sesaon with a 2-0 loss at Ole Miss.
Live stats will be avaiable through the Ole Miss athletic website. To access live stats, please visit www.OleMissSports.com or click the link attached above.

Bump 'N Jump (Atari 2600) review
"Maybe a particular body of water is too long to clear in just one jump, so you'll have to time things in order to hit an island in the middle of the lake and immediately jump again to clear the rest of it. Or maybe two small ponds will be close together. If you jump at full speed, you'll easily clear the first one...and then helplessly watch as you said over the strip of land between them, only to crash into the second inches from clearing it."

OAKLAND — A worker was injured Thursday afternoon when he fell from a wall at a construction site at Highland Hospital, officials said.
The man suffered a broken leg in the fall, which happened about 1:20 p.m. Thursday at the site of the hospital's expansion project in the 1400 block of East 31st Street.
Firefighters learned the man fell more than 10 feet off a wall in a confined space at the construction site. Fire crews had to extricate the victim, who was later hospitalized, officials said.

Documentary filmmaker Stelios Koul uses his camera to illuminate the mechanisms used by the ruling class to create a global American empire in the wake of World War II in a film that draws on rare propagandistic material, creatively shot reconstructions, and filmed confessions to expose the world as seen through the eyes of former economic hitman John Perkins. A prominent member of the team that used murder, military coups, rigged elections, doctored financial reports, extortion, and even sex to expand American influence following World War II, Perkins had previously been reluctant to speak out about his career for fear he'd be permanently silenced by the powers that be.
Years later, after meeting the daughter of an assassinated president and getting a cold reception from an angry Latin-American audience, Perkins' lingering guilt overpowered his fears of governmental reprisal, and he finally decided to come clean about his experiences.
The resulting film reveals the roots of Islamic terrorism and the truth behind rising poverty levels while highlighting the reasons why so many other countries resent the United States.

A game that started out as a defensive struggle ended with a masterful offensive performance. Unfortunately for the Wittenberg Tigers and the large Homecoming crowd that was assembled to cheer them on, the game-ending possession that spanned more than nine minutes was turned in by visiting Wabash to secure a 27-24 Little Giants victory.
Wabash held the ball for the final 9:32 of the game after Wittenberg had pulled to within three points on the third rushing touchdown of the game from freshman Jimmy Dehnke (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson). The drive covered just 48 yards and it included just one passing attempt, but it spanned a whopping 17 plays, featuring a clutch fourth-down conversion on the Little Giants' side of the field that was followed by a pair of third-down conversions that sealed the game.
Wittenberg trailed throughout the game, thanks in part to a slow start for its offense. The Tigers managed less than 100 yards in the entire first half and headed into the locker room at halftime fortunate to be trailing just 13-3. That deficit grew quickly, however, as Wabash took advantage of a turnover on the opening kickoff of the second half to score a touchdown and take a commanding 20-3 lead.
The Tiger offense finally awoke at that point, however, and Wittenberg responded with a pair of touchdowns to close the third quarter. Dehnke scored on a nine-yard run to cap a drive that took just 1:20 off the clock, thanks in large part to a career-long 72-yard run by junior quarterback Reed Florence (South Charleston, Ohio/Southeastern). After the Wittenberg defense forced a Wabash three-and-out, Dehnke scored from two yards out after the junior Heath Eby (Medina, Ohio/Cloverleaf) blocked a punt.
The Little Giants scored what turned out to be the winning touchdown one minute into the fourth quarter as CP Porter capped an 86-yard drive with a two-yard scoring run. The aforementioned reply from Wittenberg came after senior cornerback Jamaal Everett (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) recovered a fumble at midfield.
Florence finished 10-of-19 through the air for 92 yards, and his rushing total wound up at 51 yards on seven attempts, thanks to a pair of costly sacks. Dehnke led both teams in rushing yardage with 111 on 24 carries.
Defensively, Everett led with a career-high 12 tackles to go along with his fumble recovery. Junior Spencer Leno (Massillon, Ohio/Massillon) added 11 tackles.
Despite the loss, the Tigers remain alive in one of the most balanced North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) title chases in years. Ohio Wesleyan, Allegheny and Kenyon are all unbeaten in the early going, followed closely by Wabash, Wittenberg and Denison with one loss apiece.
Wittenberg returns to action next with a non-conference match-up opposite the University of Chicago. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Edwards-Maurer Field.

The agency did not delve into why suffering is so disproportionate, other than to note the obvious: that the poor, the uninsured and the less educated tend to live shorter, sicker lives...
"Some of the figures, like the suicide rate for young American Indians, are just heartbreaking," said Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the C.D.C. director, who ordered the report compiled.
He ordered it, he said, after promising at his agency's African American History Month celebration last February that he would do so.
"We wanted to shine a spotlight on the problem and some potential solutions," he said.

Credit cards attract star power, just like any other product.
Continue Reading Below
Morgan Freeman has narrated many a Visa ad. David Spade has appeared in a few zany Capital One ads. NFL great Peyton Manning starred in some MasterCard commercials. And, of course, American Express has turned the celebrity endorsement into something of an art form.
Anyone over a certain age will likely remember that back in the 1970s, you couldn't go to any channel without seeing stalwart and respected actor Karl Malden imploring television audiences to get an American Express card, saying, "Don't leave home without it."
In the 1990s, Jerry Seinfeld starred in some entertaining American Express ads, and other celebrities including Tiger Woods, Ellen DeGeneres and Tina Fey have also sung the card's praises.
And lately, Capital One has jumped back into featuring celebrities in ads, with both Alec Baldwin and Jimmy Fallon doing some face time on television for the credit card.
But when was the last time a truly memorable credit card celebrity campaign took over our TV sets? The kind where you actually talk about the ad to your friends on Facebook or at the proverbial water cooler. So while we could have been devoting our time to coming up with ideas to save the oceans or reduce poverty, we thought we'd do (almost) the next best thing: offer up suggestions on who we think the next credit card guest star should be.
- Type of credit card: Airline rewards card The perfect celebrity: Christina Ricci Why: For starters, Ricci is currently flying high in the promising ABC series "Pan Am," a show set in the 1960s, which chronicles the melodramatic misadventures of a flight crew on the famed, historic airline that flew the friendly skies from the 1920s to 1991. Having starred in films like "The Addams Family" movies, "Sleepy Hollow" and "Speed Racer," her new series would tie in nicely with a glamorous ad campaign for an airline rewards card designed especially for frugal travelers. The pitch: We're picturing Ricci stepping off an airline, with dramatic lighting and perhaps in slow-motion, and then explaining how Capital One's Venture Rewards Credit Card can earn you free flights faster, whether you're a frequent flier or not.
- Type of credit card: Secured credit card The perfect celebrity: Sarah Ferguson Why: The Duchess of York is widely known to have had her share of money woes in the last several years. Fortunately, recent news reports suggest that she may be getting her financial act together, which is why she'd be perfect hawking one of the most reputable secured credit cards out there. The pitch: We're imagining an ad in which Ferguson is sitting at a table full of bills with a calculator at her side, looking perplexed at first and then showing off a confident aura as she pulls out her Orchard Bank Classic MasterCard. And then she would look into the camera and explain how using the card can help your credit score without costing a bundle in fees.
- Type of credit card: Student credit card The perfect celebrity: Emma Watson Why: If her name isn't well known, her face is. Watson has acted the role of Hermione Granger for umpteen years in the "Harry Potter" movie series. The now 21-year-old Brown University student should have a lot of street cred (or school cred?) when it comes to pitching a student card to the masses. And think of the fun a director could have making a Harry Potter-esque TV ad with a lot of special effects! The pitch: "Whether you shop at Diagon Alley or the Gap," Watson could tell everyone in TV land, after turning a boring, droning anthropology professor into a chipmunk, "the Journey Student Rewards credit card has free text and email alerts designed to keep you on track, and you can score a 25 percent bonus cash back every month just for paying your bill on time."
- Type of credit card: Balance transfer credit card The perfect celebrity: Piers Morgan Why: Well, maybe this is a stretch, but he does have his nightly CNN talk show and he's a mainstay as a judge on NBC's "America's Got Talent." If anyone knows about shuttling from one place to another without a lot of headaches, it's this guy. Besides, if Morgan, who comes across as fairly picky and discerning on "America's Got Talent," says a credit card is far and away better than another one, wouldn't you believe him? The pitch: The ideal commercial would have Morgan sitting in a judge's chair with three giant dancing credit cards on a stage. As on "America's Got Talent," he would hit the X button for the first two and then let the Chase Freedom Visa finish its act. Why? Because it offers 12 months of a 0 percent APR on balance transfers.
- Type of credit card: Zero APR credit card The perfect celebrities: The Black Eyed Peas Why: This hip-hop band is beloved and wildly popular, but unlike some music bands, they aren't too edgy for a mass audience, which is likely why they were invited to perform the half-time show at the Super Bowl in 2011. So that's why we think they'd make a great pitch for, say, Capital One's MTV Visa Card. Of course, they'd be an even better fit if MTV actually still played music videos… The pitch: We're thinking a music video in 30 seconds, although admittedly it's a little tough to imagine the Black Eyed Peas actually singing lyrics, like "The MTV Visa Card from Capital One, Zero percent APR for 12 months of fun..." But hey, who knows? This is an ad we'd love to see.

Feeding off the enthusiastic home crowd on Jan. 31, senior Martha Buckley paced MIT's indoor women's track team to one of its finest efforts of the season by breaking two school records. Buckley began the afternoon by setting a new Institute mark in the mile with a time of 5:10.23. Buckley equaled her record-setting success in the 1000, clipping her own school mark after breaking the tape in 3:05.05.
Senior Martha Buckley and freshman Andrea Staid set new Institute records en route to MIT's 10th-place finish out of 23 schools at the New England Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships. Buckley set a new benchmark in the 5000 with a clip of 17:35.93 and Staid added the 600 to her record-breaking effort in the 800, with a time of 1:40.89.
Competing in the All-Division New England Track & Field Championships, head coach Paul Slovenski led the women's unit to four school records and two national qualifying marks. Tech set records in both horizontal jumping events as senior Chinwe Nyenke broke the Institute mark in the triple jump (36'7.75") and junior Nalini Gupta reset the MIT record in the long jump (17'3.25"). The Engineers also established new program highs in the 4x800 relay and the distance medley relay. Rookie Andrea Staid, junior Alisa Lehman, sophomore Liz Walker and senior Martha Buckley combined for a 9:46.88 split in the 4x800, shattering the existing record of 9:56.42. In the DMR, junior Julia Espel and senior Chi-Chi Obi teamed with Staid and Buckley in blitzing the previous Institute record by 13 seconds (12:21.99).
Graduate-student Cat Tweedie became the second MIT pole vaulter in three years to place on the All-America team after finishing eighth overall at the 2004 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Tweedie recorded a jump of 11'5.25" to secure her finish in the event standings. Senior Martha Buckley finished 10th overall in the 5000, recording her first top-10 national finish after crossing the line in 18:03.05.
Senior Chinwe Nyenke broke into the spring record book for MIT by setting the Institute record in the triple jump at 36'5" at the Engineer's Cup.
After setting a new Institute record in her season debut, junior Nalini Gupta reset Tech's outdoor record in the long jump with a leap of 17'8" at MIT's Steinbrenner Stadium.

David Carr, a regular Times contributor, discovers media hype in the Katrina coverage.
Careful readers will infer that Mr. Carr writes these columns as some sort of a media critic who focuses on television coverage, so the performance of the NY Times itself is given a pass. Casual readers will be left at sea.
In Mr. Carr's world, it was Fox News, talk radio, and the internet that hyped the violence and atrocities. However, let's notice the gap between criticism and evidence:
DISASTER has a way of bringing out the best and the worst instincts in the news media. It is a grand thing that during the most terrible days of Hurricane Katrina, many reporters found their gag reflex and stopped swallowing pat excuses from public officials. But the media's willingness to report thinly attributed rumors may also have contributed to a kind of cultural wreckage that will not clean up easily.
First, anyone with any knowledge of the events in New Orleans knows that terrible things with non-natural causes occurred: there were assaults, shots fired at a rescue helicopter and, given the state of the city's police department, many other crimes that probably went unreported.
But many instances in the lurid libretto of widespread murder, carjacking, rape, and assaults that filled the airwaves and newspapers have yet to be established or proved, as far as anyone can determine. And many of the urban legends that sprang up - the systematic rape of children, the slitting of a 7-year-old's throat - so far seem to be just that. The fact that some of these rumors were repeated by overwhelmed local officials does not completely get the news media off the hook. A survey of news reports in the LexisNexis database shows that on Sept. 1, the news media's narrative of the hurricane shifted.
The Fox News anchor, John Gibson, helped set the scene: "All kinds of reports of looting, fires and violence. Thugs shooting at rescue crews. Thousands of police and National Guard troops are on the scene trying to get the situation under control. Thousands more on the way. So heads up, looters." A reporter, David Lee Miller, responded: "Hi, John. As you so rightly point out, there are so many murders taking place. There are rapes, other violent crimes taking place in New Orleans." After the interview, Mr. Gibson did acknowledge that "we have yet to confirm a lot of that."
Later that night on MSNBC, Tucker Carlson grabbed the flaming baton and ran with it. "People are being raped," he said in a conversation with the Rev. Al Sharpton. "People are being murdered. People are being shot. Police officers being shot."
Some journalists did find sources. About 10 p.m. that same evening, Greta Van Susteren of Fox interviewed Dr. Charles Burnell, an emergency room physician who was providing medical care in the Superdome.
"Well, we had several murders. We had three murders last night. We had a total of six rapes last night. We had the day before I think there were three or four murders. There were half a dozen rapes that night," he told Ms. Van Susteren. (Dr. Burnell did not return several calls asking for comment.) On the same day, The New York Times referred to two rapes at the Superdome, quoting a woman by name who said she was a witness.
OK, if Fox reported "the systematic rape of children", or "the slitting of a 7-year-old's throat", this was the time to mention it. Instead, we get a generic mention of violence, looting, and rapes. Does Mr. Carr contend that this was *not* happening?
Well, we don't need to look far to find a news source that was passing on some of the dramatic crime stories. If Fox "helped set the scene" with their Sept 1 broadcast, let's see what the NY Times offered on Sept 1:
Higher Death Toll Seen; Police Ordered to Stop Looters
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31 - Chaos gripped New Orleans on Wednesday as looters ran wild, food and water supplies dwindled, bodies floated in the floodwaters, the evacuation of the Superdome began and officials said there was no choice but to abandon the city devastated by Hurricane Katrina, perhaps for months.
...With police officers and National Guard troops giving priority to saving lives, looters brazenly ripped open gates and ransacked stores for food, clothing, television sets, computers, jewelry and guns, often in full view of helpless law-enforcement officials. Dozens of carjackings, apparently by survivors desperate to escape, were reported, as were a number of shootings.
Superdome: Haven Quickly Becomes an Ordeal
...They had flocked to the arena seeking sanctuary from the winds and waters of Hurricane Katrina. But understaffed, undersupplied and without air-conditioning or even much lighting, the domed stadium quickly became a sweltering and surreal vault, a place of overflowing toilets and no showers. Food and water, blankets and sheets, were in short supply. And the dome's reluctant residents exchanged horror stories, including reports, which could not be confirmed by the authorities, of a suicide and of rapes.
Police and Owners Begin to Challenge Looters
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31 - In a city shut down for business, the Rite Aid at Oak and South Carrollton was wide open on Wednesday. Someone had stolen a forklift, driven it four blocks, peeled up the security gate and smashed through the front door.
One police officer was shot Tuesday trying to stop looting, but he was expected to survive.
An emergency medical vehicle that was taking a Baton Rouge police officer who had been shot last month from a hospital back to his hometown was shot at on the way out of New Orleans on Tuesday.
Fair and balanced at the NY Times.
We also take issue with a specific point made twice by Mr. Carr:
(1) ...First, anyone with any knowledge of the events in New Orleans knows that terrible things with non-natural causes occurred: there were assaults, shots fired at a rescue helicopter...
(2) The widely reported and seemingly fantastical story about a man shooting at a rescue helicopter was confirmed.
Confirmed by whom? Matt Welch wrote a better, earlier column about Katrina media hype on Sept 6, and said this about the helicopter incident [which he later withdrew - see UPDATE]:
Relief efforts ground to a halt last week after reports circulated of looters shooting at helicopters, yet none of the hundreds of articles I read on the subject contained a single first-hand confirmation from a pilot or eyewitness. The suspension-triggering attack—on a military Chinook attempting to evacuate refugees from the Superdome—was contested by Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown, who told ABC News, "We're controlling every single aircraft in that airspace and none of them reported being fired on." What's more, when asked about the attacks, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff replied: "I haven't actually received a confirmed report of someone firing on a helicopter."
From the ABC story to which Matt links, we see "confirmation" from a National Guard officer:
"At the Superdome, we have a report that one shot was fired at a Chinook helicopter," [Lt. Col. Pete Schneider of the Louisiana National Guard] said, adding that the Chinook is "an extremely large aircraft."
Although he ignored the Times own breathless coverage of rapes, looting, and vigilantism, I am sure Mr. Carr will welcome an opportunity to document this particular assertion about the confirmation of reports that a helicopter was fired upon. We don't want any hype in the hype-denouncing story, do we?
Times Public Editor Byron Calame can be reached at: firstname.lastname@example.com
UPDATE: Under their (relatively) new policy, when the NY Times corrects a story, they note the presence of a correction at the top of the website version ("Correction Appended"), and run the correction at the bottom. (See this example).
Would that "Reason" achieved that level of transparency. Matt Welch ran a correction to his Reason article the next day, telling us that his helicopter reporting had crashed and burned; I certainly did not pick that up in reading the original piece.
In addition, here is an eyewitness claiming he saw "people firing at military helicopters".

From The Tribune-Review by Bill Vidonic, June 7, 2014
Moments before his neighbor, an off-duty state trooper, shot and killed him, a Butler Township man fled his home while threatening to jump from a bridge, police said on Saturday.
Kristopher Barkus, 25, ignored Trooper Brian Knirnschild's orders to drop a weapon he pointed at the trooper, who was standing on the front porch of his home with his wife and young children looking on in horror, state police Lt. Eric Hermick said.
"He fired to protect himself and his family," Hermick said.
Barkus died at 10:30 p.m. Friday in Allegheny General Hospital, North Side. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a homicide, saying that Barkus died of a gunshot to the trunk.
Attempts to reach Knirnschild and the Barkus family were unsuccessful.
Neighbor Mike Cajka said he was able to speak to Knirnschild after the shooting and that he appeared calm. He said the Barkuses "are an outstanding family" in the September Drive neighborhood, mostly populated with older residents.
In the aftermath of the shooting, "there were more troopers here than I've ever seen in my life," Cajka said.
Knirnschild, 27, remains on paid administrative leave while state police investigate the shooting. Hermick said police would consult with the Butler County District Attorney's Office. District Attorney Richard Goldinger did not return a message.
"He's been a commendable trooper," Hermick said of Knirnschild, adding that he has worked as a patrol officer for about two years.
Hermick said that Knirnschild did not use a department-issued firearm in the shooting, which was the second confrontation between the men recently.
Knirnschild moved into the neighborhood recently, he said. Within the past few weeks, Barkus went to Knirnschild's home, and the trooper ordered him to leave, Hermick said. Hermick did not know the circumstances surrounding that incident.
Butler Township police charged Barkus with harassment for a May 17 incident, but it wasn't clear if that incident involved Knirnschild.
Shortly before 8:40 p.m. Friday, Hermick said, one of Barkus' family members dialed 911, reporting that he had threatened to kill himself and left the house. He ended up at Knirnschild's home and pointed a weapon.
Barkus' brother Bobby drove his wounded brother to Butler Memorial Hospital, Hermick said. Kristopher Barkus was flown to Allegheny General Hospital, where he died, the medical examiner's office said.
Bobby Barkus cooperated with investigators, Hermick said, and he has not been charged.
In an interview with WPXI-TV, Barkus' parents, Bob and Pam, said their son suffered from depression and other recent health problems. They said he approached Knirnschild about a month ago, asking him to arrest him and put him in jail.
"We, and especially my wife, have been dealing with this for so many years, his health problem, trying to get him squared away," Bob Barkus said.

EXCLUSIVE: Amazing Video of Car Fire in South Jersey
A scary scene earlier today in South Jersey, as a car apparently caught fire off of Tilton Road in Northfield.
A Townsquare Media employee happened to be passing by as the flames began to shoot from the car, which was right next a home in 1700 block of Tilton Road.
As you'll see, the fire got rather intense before firefighters arrived. Luckily, we don't believe anyone was injured in the whole ordeal, but it was certainly frightening for those involved.
Here are a few more images from the scene earlier today:

The worry, as seen in poor results for recent 3-D releases like Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, is that theater chains and studios have overreached on pricing. "We suspect some consumers are choosing 2-D movies solely to reduce the cost of their moviegoing experience," wrote Richard Greenfield, an analyst at the financial services company BTIG, in an Aug. 23 research note.The top grossing film for the summer of 2010 was Toy Story 3, which took in $405 million at the North American box office and grossed more than a billion dollars world-wide.

Summer Box Office
The New York Times reports that while box office revenue went up 2% this summer compared to last, attendance was actually the lowest since 1997. It's only higher ticket prices, specifically for 3D films, that's driven the increased revenue.

Unfortunately I didn't go to the cinemas in the summer holidays (last time I went was in early July I think while I was at school).
Sadly, I did not get any time to see Toy Story 3 because I've been busy and I had been meeting up with friends at town - even though I was keen to.
I wish I could see it if I had the time, but now that I have a blog keeps me very busy.

History is one of our state's greatest natural resources. Ours is a storied journey from a territory of foreign nations, to an independent republic, to becoming the 28th U.S. state in 1845. Today, Texas offers more than 13,000 State Historical Markers commemorating everything from the Alamo to grand old mansions, to sacred burial grounds, to landmarks of the Wild West and frontier forts. Explore virtually any part of Texas and you'll be following in the footsteps of legends.
In the 1500s, Spanish explorers began setting up shop in what is now Texas. A number of Spanish missions were built – and still remain – here. You've probably heard of our most famous mission...the Alamo. In 1836, a band of brave souls gave their lives and propelled Texas towards independence. Yet as memorable as the Alamo is, it's just one of our many (historically and architecturally) fascinating missions found here. The Mission San Antonio de Valero, Mission San José, Mission Concepción, Mission San Juan and Mission Espada represent the largest concentration of Spanish colonial missions in North America and have been named a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). For a trip back in time, they're well worth a visit today.Museums
Texans are fiercely proud of the long and winding road we've taken. Scattered far and wide across this state, museums highlight the proud Native American tribes who thrived here. The centuries as part of New Spain. Then Mexico. The Revolution.The Republic of Texas. The Wild West. Cattle. The Old South. Cotton. And oil. Believe it or not, some museums even go back to far earlier times, when dinosaurs like the T-Rex and his buddies were considered Native Texans.

I'm guessing that this is why this problem is happening. I know it's a pain, but to get everything perfect, this should be done. If I'm wrong and they're just not centered properly, then it's just a matter of redoing the coordinates, but I'm pretty sure it's the circles.
I think if you look at Seabeck, Hood Canal, Camano Island, Everett etc... on the small map you will clearly notice they are off center.
oaktown wrote:I posted earlier that I suspect this map uses army circles that are an odd number of pixels in width and height while the CC numbers are always even: 12x16. Short of recreating all of the army circles they will always look a bit off-center, which is fine really because how often are you going to see a perfectly symmetrical army count on there?
Here's what I'm talking about: note that the third example (23 pix wide) looks exactly like the circles on this map:

The first major mountains of the 90th Giro d'Italia loom to the west of Torino in the Alps on the Italian/French border. The antipasto is the heavy duty Colle dell'Agnello, a 21.3-kilometre beast that rises to 2744 metres after 102 kilometres of racing. At the summit, the road plunges into France and at the famous road junction in Chateau-Queyras, turns right up the southern face of the evocative Col d'Izoard.
This legendary Tour de France ascent covers 14.2 kilometres at an average of 7.1% and the last few kilometres traverse the picturesque section called the Casse Deserte. Once over the 2360-metre summit, it's a steep descent to finish in Briançon. Look for the Giro strong-men to emerge on Stage 12.

MONTREAL (AP) The Montreal Canadiens avoided arbitration with center Lars Eller, agreeing to a four-year contract with the 25-year-old Thursday.
''Now it's up to me to go out and play the best hockey I can,'' he said in a phone interview with the Canadian Press from the airport in Toronto, where he was waiting to catch a flight home to Denmark.
''This (Montreal) was the place I want to be. Four years was a term that both sides have been working on for quite some time.''
Eller has 45 goals and 103 points in 286 games.
Eller was scheduled to have an arbitration hearing on Friday. He reportedly asked for $3.1 million for next season while the team offered $1.65 million.
''Going to arbitration was really a last resort if all other options failed,'' he said.
''We are very pleased to have agreed upon a long-term agreement with Lars Eller,'' general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement. ''He is an important part of our group of young veterans.
''He has a tremendous work ethic and a great attitude. He is the type of player you can rely on for his play at both ends of the rink. Lars can play big minutes against the opponents' top players and still be an offensive threat. We are confident he will reach his full potential and become an impact player who will compete at a high level for many years to come.''
Eller made up for disappointing regular-season production - 12 goals and 14 assists in 77 games - with a strong playoff performance. He had five goals and eight assists in 17 games as the Canadiens advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.
But he said the team was basing its decision on more than the playoffs.
''Of course it's been a very mixed season for me performance-wise. Certainly my playoffs probably helped my situation, there's no doubt about that. But this goes longer than just one playoff. I've been here for four years now. ... They know what they have in me and I know what I have in them.''

Dear Dr. Don,
Continue Reading Below
My 7-year-old daughter has received an inheritance of $10,000. What is a safe $10,000 investment that would guarantee her a decent return between now and when she turns 18? Thanks.
-- Edwin Accretive
Dear Edwin, I'm assuming you're controlling the funds in a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account for your daughter's benefit. As the custodian you would have a fiduciary duty to your daughter, meaning that you must put her interests first when investing the money.
Given the parameters you place on the investment, I'd lean toward U.S. Series I savings bonds. There's an annual purchase limit of $10,000, which dovetails nicely with the amount of money she has to invest.
A Series I savings bond earns the prevailing rate of inflation based on changes in the consumer price index. That yield changes every six months. The yield for the first six months on a Series I savings bond purchased between Nov. 1, 2012, and April 30, 2013, is 1.76%. The Series I savings bond also has a fixed-interest yield component, but that has been at zero percent for the past two years. The fixed component stays the same over the entire 30-year potential term of the bond.
If you pick a Series I bond, it would also make sense to choose accrual-basis tax reporting on the interest earnings. With accrual-basis reporting, you report interest each year as it accrues instead of deferring taxes until the bond is cashed in or matures. Once you start with accrual-basis reporting, you must continue to report interest earned every year for all savings bonds and notes that you own. That includes future purchases as well.
I'd consider splitting the inheritance between an investment in the Series I savings bonds and an investment in the stock market. While the savings bond investment is very safe and will keep pace with inflation, the stock market investment has the possibility of building wealth versus just treading water and preserving the purchasing power of her inheritance. A no-load indexed mutual fund, or an exchange-traded fund invested in a broadly based stock market index, could be just the ticket.
Investing in a Section 529 college savings account is an alternative, but that presumes that the money will be used to pay for her college expenses. That may not have been the intent of the decedent. The advantage of investing in a Section 529 account is in how the money is considered if she applies for financial aid for college, at least under current financial aid rules.

DetailsSemi-Hermetic Compressors
Copeland Discus Delivers Best in Class Performance
Copeland Discus compressors have been the unquestioned leader in commercial refrigeration for over 25 years. Combining world class efficiency and reliability, Discus is the compressor of choice to meet your refrigeration needs. The unique Discus valve design provides improved efficiency at operating conditions where most semi-hermetic compressors run. Grueling life testing and 25 years of field experience make Discus compressors the most reliable compressor in the industry.
Continued Technology Leadership on the Discus Platform
Emerson Climate Technologies engineers have continued to develop new and exciting technologies to leverage the established Discus platform. One example stems from the challenge end users have always faced with the ability to match compressor capacity to the load requirements of the refrigerated space. Copeland Discus Digital compressors were designed to specifically meet that challenge. With the ability to modulate infinitely between 10-100% of rated capacity, Discus Digital compressors match the system load requirements precisely while consuming less energy and increasing the life of compressor and other system components.
Protect Your Investment with Copeland Discus Compressors
End users want cold and they want it reliably. Even the most robust industry leading compressors, such as Discus, can fail or not function properly under adverse conditions, like poor installations. Facing this challenge, Emerson Climate Technologies engineers have developed innovative technologies via compressor electronics to increase compressor reliability and life. All new Discus compressors are shipped with CoreSense technology onboard. Through innovative and proprietary algorithms the compressor is used as a sensor to protect and diagnose the compressor. When adverse conditions exist, CoreSense technology can proactively shut down the compressor to prevent future damage until the condition is no longer present, enabling longer compressor life and sustained product integrity while protecting the refrigeration investment.

Exactly. I've yet to meet a dog that says "Hey, I better not eat because I need to make weight. Maybe I should up my cardio, too."
I have heard of female dogs that don't eat very well around their heat time, but that is more than likely hormone-driven than them trying to remain svelte.

Tucker will do that when he gets his pills in the morning. He gets wicked defensive and will almost hunch over my hand and make growly noises if the other dogs get too close. Now he gets his pills in a corner of the kitchen away from the others.
Marinepits wrote:Slightly off-topic, but I think single dogs tend to eat differently than multiple dogs -- I've noticed among my own crew that, when we feed them all together, everyone eats quickly and then looks around to make sure there isn't any more food.
When we just had Samantha years ago, she'd pick at her food all day and never have a sense of urgency over eating (unless she was given steak, LOL). When we adopted Katy, Sam suddenly developed a VERY different eating pattern -- when the food was put down for them, they'd both eat quickly and not leave any in their dishes.
Normally we feed the whole crew together at the same time, twice per day. (Of course, they are all separated away from eachother so there is no fighting.) Now, due to Indy's illness and his changed feeding schedule, we feed the four on their regular schedule and Indy is fed upstairs at another time and away from everyone. Indy is usually a HOOVER and the second one done with his food when they're all together. When he's alone, he picks at his food and takes a long time chomping each piece. However, if he hears the other dogs coming up the stairs, he inhales his food.
I think it all comes back to competition for food among dog "packs".

Dogs don't have "feelings" about their weight. I don't think they have a concept of "self image."Dog_Shrink wrote:I don't think that assuming an animal would fast itself if it felt unable to best represent itself physically if it needed to is NOT out of the realm of possible.
If it felt unable? Don't get me wrong, I adore my dogs and I tend to anthropomorphize them, but animals don't have the capacity to understand what their best physical shape is and then compare it to their current shape is and then gauge their eating habits accordingly.
I'd be very interested in the source of this information.

How does he "keep himself" lean? To me, that implies that he is doing something specific to influence his weight.
Marinepits wrote:.....but it has been thrown around as a reason why perfectly healthy dogs decide to "all of a sudden" stop eating, only to start a few days later.....
Who is "throwing around"? Where are you getting this info? I'd be interested in reading more about it.Greyhounds and salukis as well as afghans and other sight hounds have also been noted to do this.
References? I'd like to read more about this.
LMM wrote:The more I think about this whole "dogs fasting to keep themselves lean and fighting fit" concept, the more ridiculous it seems to me. My dogs would eat themselves into a coma every day of the week if I allowed it.

Pets pets pets
It might rain on your parade, but winter storm Nemo isn't going to ruin America's Dog Show. The show must go on, despite snow, wind gusts and canceled flights. Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) has a 137-year tradition to uphold, so a blizzard named after a Disney fish is not nearly enough to dampen the spirits of Westminster.
If the pre-show festivities, such as last Thursday's WKC press conference and fashion show, are any indication, the dog show promises to be spectacular. That Thursday seemed to have a theme. It became a "triumphant day for black & tan Afghan Hounds" but more about that later.
WKC Press Conference: On Feb. 7, an eclectic cast of Westminster participants kicked off the upcoming dog show. The press conference was held in the same room of the New Yorker Hotel that would host the New Yorkie Fashion Show that evening, so a carpeted runway was already in place to show off the show dogs.
Last year's Best In Show, Malachy the Pekingese, led the procession, and then left for a celeb stop at Bloomingdale's. The marvelous moppet travels with his ice pack so he doesn't overheat, and looks so much like a stuffed toy that many shoppers didn't realize they were looking at the real deal.
Treeing Walker Coonhounds and Russell Terriers represented the two newly recognized AKC breeds that will be at Westminster for the first time. "Steed," a champion Borzoi, is a therapy dog and blood donor that has also been on stage at the Met with the American Ballet in Gisele. He was scheduled to be at the Ranger game that evening to promote Westminster. "Aristocrat," a 180-lb. St. Bernard, arrived in a stretch limo wearing his keg to assure those concerned about the impending storm.
Other dogs there included several local pups and their families that were greatly impacted or displaced by Sandy but are still entered at the show. "Juliette," a Bernese Mountain Dog from Southbury, CT, is a registered therapy dog who continues working with families and students touched by the Sandy Hook tragedy in December. This teddy bear of a dog personifies canine comfort.
Giant Schnauzers, "Bruno," eight months, and sister "Sofia," eight years old, may well be the youngest and oldest dogs from the same family entered in the show. They brought along their Afghan Hound house guests visiting from Sweden who actually were born in Chile. "Nacira" has been Best of Breed twice at Westminster, but she didn't mind that photos of her brother, "Chino," sipping water from a wine glass, showed up on the Reuters feed that night. MSG had invited the Afghan duo to the Knicks game on Monday where players and cheerleaders pranced them around the court.
New Yorkie Runway Fashion Show: Having champion black & tan Afghans grace the stage during the day was a good omen. You guessed it; "Sisu the singing Afghan" won later at the fashion show, which was a benefit for Angel On A Leash, the therapy dog program founded by David Frei, the voice of Westminster.
Thank you to everyone who voted for Sisu. "Jin Jin," the 2012 New Yorkie winner, also a black & tan Afghan, thanks you too. Both winners are therapy dogs. Laura Diaz, Sisu's owner, worked tirelessly campaigning her handsome boy. It certainly helps that our international breed community is close knit. Wearing her crown, Jin Jin passed the torch to Sisu, even though she looked as if she didn't want to abdicate the throne.
New Yorkie Runway coincides with Fashion Week in Manhattan. The event is the brainchild of Elly McGuire, designer of New Yorkie ensembles for dogs. Many, including Sisu's victory suit, have a NYC checkered taxicab motif. Miss USA 2011, Alyssa Campanella, emceed the show. Reality show stars and celebs from all walks of life strutted with dog models. Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary fame carried a cab yellow guitar as he escorted a Cocker in a peace symbol dress, while NBA star, Ron Harper, created a tall contrast to his Basset partner, decked out in Big Apple-inspired Tommy Hilfger. "Uno," WKC Best In Show 2008 and everyone's favorite Beagle, made a special runway appearance.
When it was all over, Sisu and Jin Jin (accompanied by their moms) paraded down the runway together in a notso subtle way of announcing that the Afghan Hound reign had been sustained. Now they are rooting for Nacira in the breed ring at the Piers and, dare we say, an Afghan at the Garden.
Note: Timing when writing a weekly newspaper column differs from that of a blog or online paper which is posted within hours of an event. I am typing Friday while the storm rages. The dog show hasn't happened yet. By the time this goes to print, both the "snowicane" and Westminster will be past tense. If long-term weather predictions are correct, the mounds of snow will be melted into a muddy memory. If you are reading "Pets," that means the dog show is over and you know who won Best In Show. Please don't tell me. The suspense about sustaining the Afghan reign is killing me.
Babylon Shelter Adoptables (631-643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: The shelter pups (and plenty of people) do not know that Westminster had a clubhouse and kennels in Babylon from 1880 to 1904, or that Sensation, the Pointer that has always been the symbol of the dog show, was buried here in 1887. The shelter pups also don't know if or when they will find a loving home. "El Presidente" #12-813, better known as "Prez," is the current office dog. He is a lovable, young fellow. "Louise" #13-77, a young Kelpie/Cattle Dog mix found in N. Babylon would do well in agility or a performance event home.

Dolutegravir Wins Bout With Raltegravir in Salvage Competition
August 28, 2013
Final results of a pivotal double-blind study of the new HIV integrase inhibitor dolutegravir (Tivicay) were presented at IAS 2013. These final results fully confirm early, 24-week results shown at CROI 2013.
Subjects with virologic failure (a viral load above 400 copies/mL) and who had resistance to at least two drug classes (but were integrase naive) were randomized to dolutegravir 50 mg once-daily or raltegravir 400 mg twice-daily, along with a background regimen of two antiretrovirals (one of which was required to be fully active). Randomization was stratified by plasma viral load (greater or less than 50,000 copies/mL), darunavir/ritonavir use and the number of fully active drugs.
A total of 715 subjects were included, with a median CD4+ cell count of 193 to 205 cells/mm3. Approximately half of all patients had resistance to three or more antiretroviral classes, and only 20% had darunavir/ritonvair use and no primary protease inhibitor mutations.
At 48 weeks, 71% of dolutegravir pateints and 64% of raltegravir patients had a plasma viral load below 50 copies/mL in a snapshot of an exploratory modified intent-to-treat analysis (treatment difference 7.4%, 95% CI 0.7, 14.2), thus demonstrating dolutegravir superiority. The difference was mainly driven by virologic non-response rates: 6% vs 12%, respectively, at 48 weeks. Dolutegravir was also superior in subjects with a baseline plasma viral load above 50,000 copies/mL, a PS score of 2 (but not in those with a PS score less than 2), those with no darunavir/ritonavir use, and those with darunavir/ritonvair use who had primary protease inhibitor mutations. Of importance, dolutegravir was also found to be superior in an efficacy-related discontinuation=failure analysis.
No differences were observed in the median CD4+ cell change or in adverse events.
In terms of resistance data, 1% of dolutegravir patients vs. 5% of raltegravir patients had emergence of integrase resistance, which was not depicted at the IAS 2013 presentation. It must be remembered that in the 24-week presentation at CROI 2013, subjects who failed raltegravir had complete resistance to the drug, while subjects who failed dolutegravir had virus that selected R263 substitutions, which conferred only low fold-change increases for both dolutegravir and raltegravir -- not resistance. Of interest, treatment-emergent resistance to the background regimen was also significantly lower with dolutegravir: 1% vs 3% (difference -2.2%; -4.3, -0.1).
Two separate reports (MOPE014 and MOPE022) from Mark Wainberg's group at McGill University explained how difficult it is for HIV-1 to develop resistance against dolutegravir, due to the fact that so far no secondary mutations accompanying R263K have been shown to restore the infectivity and replication defects (viral fitness), and that the mutations only modestly increase dolutegravir resistance.
This study will likely wipe raltegravir from any salvage regimen. It underlines the urgent need of dolutegravir in such a scenario.
Which other studies presented at IAS 2013 will have lasting impact long after memories of the conference itself have faded? Read more of Dr. Llibre and Dr. Young's top picks.

Filmmakers Ann Carol Grossman and Arnie Reisman readily admit that they never expected their 2007 PBS documentary "The Powder & the Glory," about trailblazing makeup moguls Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, would be turned into a hit Broadway musical.
But that's just what happened with "War Paint," the new musical starring two-time Tony Award winners Patti Lupone and Christine Ebersole, now at New York's Nederlander Theatre.
"The show had an out-of-town run in Chicago last summer and we were basically dumbfounded. It was the next part of the dream and it felt surreal," explained Reisman by conference call from his home on Martha's Vineyard recently. "We sat back and enjoyed it as if it were a gift. No one does a documentary saying, 'I can't wait to see the Broadway musical.'"
Grossman, who first collaborated with fellow Brandeis University alumnus Reisman on a 1998 film marking the Waltham school's 50th anniversary, was pleased to be with him and 40 of their family and friends for that Goodman Theatre premiere production.
"It was hard to believe it was really happening and I was in tears by the end. The tears were of disbelief. All along, I had been thinking it would probably fall apart along the way," said Grossman on the call with Reisman from her home in Brookline.
"And then out came Patti Lupone, and Helena Rubinstein was resurrected. I was gob-smacked. And Christine Ebersole was also great as Elizabeth Arden. They're both brilliant. And the music is exquisitely done and just gorgeous."
Former South Natick resident and longtime journalist Reisman first suggested the idea to Grossman for a documentary about the competing business owners who moved makeup, which had been worn primarily by prostitutes, to mainstream America, creating their eponymous cosmetics empires in the process.
He and his wife and were visiting New York in 2003 when they ducked out of the rain into the New York Historical Society for an exhibit of works by cartoonist and satirist Jules Feiffer. Also on exhibit there was 'Enterprising Women: 250 Years of American Business,' which included Rubinstein and Arden.
"They were two incredible, pioneering individuals. Without them there wouldn't be a cosmetics industry. And in their 50-year rivalry, they never actually met each other," said Reisman, who is married to former television consumer reporter Paula Lyons.
"Rubinstein and Arden were both masterful at marketing their products. They were the first people to put cosmetics into department stores. I have strong memories of the name Helena Rubinstein in the 1950s. My mother may have worn some of her products, but otherwise I knew little about either woman before Arnie told me what he learned from the exhibit," explained Grossman.
"What became most appealing and interesting was their ambition, smarts and tenacity. For us, they went from just names to complex and fascinating individuals," said Grossman, who has made more than 90 films on topics including the environment, the arts and education.
According to Grossman, her daughter, Abigail Arnold, was the first person to see the documentary's potential.
"It all started with Abby. She's always been obsessed with Broadway musicals. She was just a teenager when we did the film, but right away she said that the story would make a great musical."
Arnold may have been the first but she wasn't the only person to think the documentary would transfer well to the stage. Reisman recalled receiving an email from Robert Brustein, founder of the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, saying he liked the film and suggesting that it could be adapted into a musical.
"The way I remember it is that we asked Brustein about turning the film into a musical because the idea had been planted in our heads by Abby," said Grossman.
The longtime friends may have slightly different recollections of the musical's nascent stage, but they're both grateful for what followed.
"Brustein sent a DVD of the film to James Lapine (a three-time Tony Award-winning librettist), who passed it along to David Stone, one of the producers of 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee' and 'Wicked,'" explained Reisman, a panelist on NPR's "Says You" since 1996 and former poet laureate of Martha's Vineyard.
"In May 2010, we went to New York to meet with David Stone. He said, 'I see Patti Lupone as Helena Rubinstein. If we can't get her, however, I don't think we can move forward.' We would talk with him about twice a year after that and hear that all was going well," said Grossman. "They kept our option, too, which was encouraging."
More good news came when librettist Doug Wright, composer Scott Frankel and lyricist Michael Korie – the trio who turned the documentary "Grey Gardens" into a Broadway musical – were brought onboard as the creative team. Lupone was soon signed to play Rubinstein. And in 2015, Ebersole, who won her second Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical for "Grey Gardens" in 2007, was cast in the Arden role.
Both performers are nominated for best leading actress in a musical at this year's Tony Awards, which airs June 11, at 8 p.m. on CBS, for the show which is based not only on "The Powder & the Glory" but also on the 2003 book "War Paint: Madame Helena Rubinstein & Miss Elizabeth Arden – Their Lives, Their Times, Their Rivalry" by Lindy Woodhead.
Grossman and Reisman were in the audience, along with Hillary Clinton, for the show's star-studded April 6 Broadway opening, but on Sunday they'll cheer on their Tony-nominated colleagues – including scenic designer David Korins and costume designer Catherine Zuber – from their respective homes. And, although both say filmmaking is in their past, maybe, just maybe, they'll be contemplating their next collaboration.
"This time, we're going to find a musical and turn it into a documentary," said Reisman with a laugh.
