Nine people contracted Legionnaires' disease after visiting Disneyland in September, a Disneyland spokesperson confirmed Saturday.
The nine Disneyland cases are among 12 total cases that the Orange County Health Care Agency is investigating regarding people who live in or visited Anaheim in September. Disneyland was informed of the cases Oct. 27, chemically treating and voluntarily shutting down two cooling towers to rid them of the Legionella bacteria, said Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chief Medical Officer Pamela Hymel.
Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia with symptoms that include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People can contract the disease by breathing in small droplets of water in the air that contain the Legionella bacteria. The disease is not contagious from person to person.
U.S. & World
Of the 12 cases being investigated, all patients range in age from 52 to 94 years old, said OCHCA Public Information Officer Jessica Good in a statement to NBC 4 News. Ten of the 12 people were hospitalized. One person, who did not visit Disneyland, had "additional health issues" and died, Good said.
Three of the patients did not visit Disneyland, but did live or travel in Anaheim, Good said.
After Disney took steps to get rid of the bacteria, the OCHCA "indicated there is no longer any known risk associated with our facilities," Hymel said.
According to the OCHCA, the Legionnaire's disease exposure period ranged from Sept. 12 to Sept. 27, Hymel said, adding that Disney thoroughly reviewed all regular water testing for the resort, "including work performed by contracted third-party experts," and "implemented additional redundant testing of other cooling towers on our property."
The OCHCA has not identified the common exposure source for all the cases, Hymel said. No additional cases have been identified in Anaheim after September and there is "no known ongoing risk associated with this outbreak," Good said.
Editor's Note: This story has been updated with comments from the Orange County Health Care Agency.

Somthing i've always wanted to do but never knew anybody to ask about. So how does one get into making maple syrup?
Danno,I would suggest you try some of the sap cows that line a lot of the country roads. My yards trees consistently make a gallon of syrup from 25 gallons of sap. But they are big ole sap cows. Our ancestors planted so many along the roads, at least around here, and they have a huge canopy and little competition, so they really produce. Some trees you can get 3 or 4 buckets on. Jay

Leonardo DiCaprio delivers an intense, gimlet-eyed performance as the paranoid founder of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. A fascinating and unflattering biopic, J. Edgar is largely framed as Hoover's dictation of his life story to a succession of FBI public-relations officers, "reclarifying the difference between hero and villain," as he puts it.
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and Naomi Watts
Rating: Four stars out of five
What do you call the arrest of 4,000 foreign-born radicals and the deportation of more than 500? If you're J. Edgar Hoover -- a good start.
Clint Eastwood's biopic of the infamous founder and first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation jumps around a lot in time. It has to, covering Hoover's 37 years with the FBI and another 16 with its predecessor, the Bureau of Investigation.
Fortunately for the story, the man's psyche remains steadfast through the ages. Ever since his formative years during the First Red Scare of 1919, Hoover (an intense, gimlet-eyed performance by Leonardo DiCaprio) saw Bolshevik agitators under every rock and behind every tree.
He even found reason to paint Martin Luther King as a Communist sympathizer, leading to one of the more odious abuses of power in the film. It feels right that Hoover's career overlapped that of President Richard Nixon by three years; it allowed the mantle of high-office paranoia to be passed from one man to the other.
Prurient interest has swirled for decades around the subject of Hoover's sexuality, and Eastwood is forthright, if not entirely forthcoming. It's clear, for instance, from Hoover's relationship with his lifelong second in command, Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer), that the B in FBI stands for Brokeback.
On the other hand, the film leaves the question of consummation itself unconsummated. It also makes Hoover's alleged penchant for cross-dressing seem more of a brief and touching act of reverence from a devoted son than a weird fetish.
The biggest problem with J. Edgar is that its subject's sex life sometimes threatens to overshadow everything else about him. We strain to attach meaning to every glance or raised eyebrow between the two men.
Sometimes the film even does it for us. When the young FBI director tells Tolson to put a big wooden sign over their new forensics lab, he boasts that this will give them something the bad guys don't have. "Decorating skills?" Tolson asks swishily. Ha ha.
J. Edgar paints Hoover as cosseted and influenced by three central figures. We've already met Tolson, the loyal lieutenant. Dame Judi Dench plays Hoover's mother, with whom he lived in gentle co-dependency until her death in 1938.
The third could probably carry her own movie. Naomi Watts plays Helen Gandy, with whom a young Hoover has exactly three dates before asking her to marry. When she turns him down -- wisely; his idea of a good time is a chaste tour of the Library of Congress card catalogue -- he modifies the question and proposes she become his personal secretary. She accepts, retiring at 75 on the day he dies.
A word about the characters' facial aging. Watts' is so seamless as to go almost unnoticed, and all the more successful, since it's generally harder to age women realistically. DiCaprio carries Hoover's advancing years as believably as his increasingly jowly features. Only Hammer's visage looks oddly stiff in later years, although the rigidity works better after Tolson suffers a stroke.
Story is paramount, however, and Eastwood, working with a script by Dustin Lance Black (Milk, TV's Big Love), deftly navigates the shifting waters of Hoover's career. The film is largely framed as Hoover's dictation of his life story to a succession of FBI public-relations officers, "reclarifying the difference between hero and villain," as he puts it.
It's an effective technique -- voice-over narration is the rope with which Hoover may yet hang himself and his reputation -- although we soon come to learn that his recollections are not always reliable.
Much screen time is devoted to the Lindbergh kidnapping case, an early embarrassment for Hoover's G-Men, who received little help from either the victims or the local police. It did spur their use of fingerprints and other forensic tools, which eventually led to the arrest and conviction of one of the kidnappers.
There's a bit of DiCaprio's Howard Hughes character from The Aviator in his portrayal of Hoover. Aside from the mother fixation, there are intimations of germaphobia and a general fussiness, as when he tells one spiffily dressed agent to lose the moustache and get a more conservative suit: "This isn't a saloon."
As with Hughes, Charles Foster Kane and any number of other cinematic great men, real and fictional, Hoover's story ultimately comes down to wanting to be loved. He sublimates this need through an intense patriotism, but, as one character observes, love of country won't keep you warm at night.
Hoover also yearned for respect, to the point where he once acted as a consultant and unofficial producer on 1959's The FBI Story, a rosy history of the agency starring James Stewart as a stalwart G-Man.
The studio behind that picture was Warner Bros., the same one that's releasing J. Edgar. If Hoover had known that Eastwood, a film actor with dreams of directing, would one day rise up to deliver this fascinating, unflattering portrayal, his response would probably have been the same one he barks in the film whenever someone crosses him: "Start a file on him!"

Abortion and the Earth
By Kelpie Wilson
t r u t h o u t | Environment Editor
Tuesday 29 January 2008
On this recent thirty-fifth anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, pro-choice activists are calling for a new approach to the issue.
Frances Kissling, former president of Catholics for Free Choice, and Kate Michelman, former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, wrote in an OpEd article in The Los Angeles Times: "Our vigorous defense of the right to choose needs to be accompanied by greater openness regarding the real conflict between life and choice, between rights and responsibility. It is time for a serious reassessment of how to think about abortion in a world that is radically changed from 1973."
Kissling and Michelman acknowledge that the anti-choice movement has made great inroads into the consciousness of America, which now has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the developed world. Part of the success of the anti-abortion message comes down to advances in technology, they say. The ubiquitous ultrasound images of fetuses and the survival of premature babies at earlier and earlier stages has established the unborn as a category of persons with rights in the minds of many people.
As the specter of back alley abortions recedes and women no longer die by the thousands from botched abortions, the old arguments about a woman's life and her right to autonomy over her own body are holding less sway. Kissling and Michelman warn: "If pro-choice values are to regain the moral high ground, genuine discussion about these challenges needs to take place within the movement."
The moral arguments about abortion rarely consider the physical limits of the planet, but if they did, and if abortion were put into the context of the long history of human attempts to avoid starvation by regulating population growth, we might come to a different conclusion about what "pro-life" really means.
An increased awareness of the fetus and its rights is not the only change in the moral landscape of reproduction since 1973. The other change that must be acknowledged is that we have far exceeded the capacity of the planet to sustain our numbers, and that human life and civilization are now deeply threatened by resource depletion, toxic pollution and climate catastrophe. Already, shortages of food, fuel and water are making it difficult to meet the basic needs of the 6.5 billion people on the planet and no one has any idea how we will feed the 9.1 billion people projected to be here by 2050.
Many women and couples in Japan who have terminated a pregnancy choose to honor the soul of the child through a practice called mizuko jizo. In this ritual the parents purchase a doll, adorn it and enshrine it in a temple, where it is cared for by priests.
Saving Babies
The new moral landscape that Kissling and Michelman refer to was covered in an article by Stephanie Simon, January 23, 2008, on the growing youth movement against abortion.
Simon reports on a group of eighth-graders who have "spiritually adopted" an unknown fetus, giving it a name and praying that its mother will not abort it. Another group of teenagers see themselves as survivors of abortion. One young woman from a family of six children thinks about her classmates who come from small families and says: "I look at my friends and I wonder, 'Where are your siblings?'"
This caring attitude of concern is being nourished by some religious leaders who are encouraging teens to take it beyond the abortion issue and volunteer with programs for AIDS sufferers and the homeless.
It is significant that young people are being recruited to the pro-life side by appealing to their feelings of loving kindness for what they are told are victims of abortion. You can say that they are being manipulated into this position by concerted religious propaganda, and there's a lot of truth to that, but there is a reason why young people are ripe for this. We live in a world where almost ten million children under age five die every year from preventable causes. In our world, five million people were killed in the Congo over the last decade and no one in the developed world took any notice. People all over the planet are suffering, and no one is coming to their aid. It's an uncaring world, and so the impulse to do something, to reach out, help and save some of these victims is very strong.
It is also interesting that some of these children are identifying themselves as survivors of abortion. They look around and see missing brothers and sisters and don't see any reason why a pregnant woman would abort a child and deny it a place in the family. What they don't see is that most women who seek abortions do so in order to conserve resources for children they already have.
But, setting aside for a moment the many completely valid reasons women have for seeking an abortion, it is important to acknowledge that every one of us is a survivor of abortion. Between 20 and 50 percent of all pregnancies end in a natural abortion where the woman's body for whatever reason - whether it is a genetically malformed embryo or some environmental or even social stress - is triggered to abort. This happens all the time and it is completely natural.
Everyone who is born is a survivor of natural abortion. And everyone who celebrates a first birthday is a survivor of infant mortality. Throughout history and pre-history in cultures across the face of Planet Earth, there has always been a large amount of infant mortality. Babies often died within the first month, year or several years after birth because of harsh environmental conditions, and this is the way it has been for human beings until very recently.
Spontaneous abortion helps us see that we are not actually separate from our environment, whether it is the environment of the womb or the environment of the planet. With each conception of a being, the conception is only the beginning. We are all very much dependent on the environment, and no one more so than a tiny embryo or fetus in its mother's womb. The universe does not guarantee a right to life.
Abortion As a Sacrament
To make moral judgments about abortion, it is not enough to consider how we live today. We have to consider how we will live tomorrow on a resource-depleted and climate-compromised planet. To grasp the future, it will also help to have a better understanding of our past as a species.
For the first 100,000 years of our existence, the human population consisted of a couple of million hunter-gatherers scattered across the planet. Studies of modern hunter-gatherers, like the Kalahari San, show that women had long intervals of four to five years between births and produced an average of four children each. Only two children typically survived to reproduce themselves, leading to a stable population.
Long birth intervals were the key to population control. Women who are very lean and only getting just enough to eat, stop having periods when a nursing baby draws down their reserves, and so they remain infertile for the period of nursing. This is nature's birth control. If for some reason a woman did become pregnant when her child was still only a year or two years old, this presented a huge problem because as a nomadic hunter-gatherer she could not carry two children and nurse two children at once. It would kill her, and so very often when that happened, people throughout history let a newborn die. They might expose it on a hillside or they might smother it as it was being born. It was very sad, but something that had to be done because there was no way that the woman and her other child would survive.
Hunter-gatherers were not the only people who had to take steps to control population. Island cultures have long faced the absolute resource limits that the whole world is facing today. For this reason, the Japanese have a long history of using abortion to control family size. Historically, Japan had no reliable contraceptive methods and so abortion was the only alternative to infanticide.
Although it is condoned, abortion is not treated casually by traditional Japanese culture. The life of the aborted embryo or fetus is honored through a ritual practice called mizuko jizo. Mizuko means "child of the water" and is used to refer to the soul of a child who has been returned to the gods. Jizo is the name of the Buddhist god who protects and guides that soul on its journey to another world. The parents purchase a doll, adorn it and enshrine it in a temple, where it is cared for by priests.
Abortion is regarded as the parents deciding to return a child to the gods, sending a child to a temporary place until such time that it is right for the child to come into this world, either into the same family or another one. The child is returned because the parents, at that time, would be unable to provide enough love, money or attention to this child without it being to the detriment of their present family. Practicing mizuko jizo allows the parents to provide a certain amount of attention to the child, who is seen as a member of their family, to apologize to the child and to ask for forgiveness from the child for being unable to bring it up.
Honoring the life of the embryo or fetus transforms abortion from a sin to a sacrament. To understand that a tiny embryo must sometimes be sacrificed for the greater good of the family or the human species as a whole is the moral high ground that we stand on today.
This doesn't mean that any woman should ever be forced to abort a child against her will, but it does mean that women need to be free to choose, because history has shown that when women have the freedom to choose, by and large they will not raise more children than they can take care of, and ultimately, that means that they will not raise more children than the planet can support. The reason we have lost this understanding today is because of a long period of anti-woman propaganda.
With the human species, and actually throughout the animal kingdom, it's an interesting fact of evolution that the sexes, male and female, don't always have exactly the same interests. There is one extreme example from the animal world that illustrates this dilemma. The anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy studied the hanuman langur monkeys of India and discovered a very disturbing result of their social patterns. The females travel in groups and raise their babies together, while the males battle for control of the female harems. When a new male establishes dominance, he will try to kill as many of the young infants as he can so he can mate with the females as soon as possible.
Once her baby is gone, a female immediately comes into heat and copulates with the male who killed her child. Obviously, this may have some benefits to the males. In a brutally competitive environment, they get a chance to see their own babies be born and reared, but for the females, this is nothing but bad news. It takes a tremendous amount of physical investment for a female to carry and raise a baby. All of her energy investment is lost when a new male comes along, but she really has no other choice but to submit.
In human history, especially in the deeper past, from what we can tell, there wasn't anything like this; in fact, there is plenty of evidence that human females were very successful in organizing themselves in coalitions of solidarity that regulated society to their benefit. Anthropologist Chris Knight and others have shown that women synchronized menstrual periods to regulate sexual access to females and motivate males to provide meat from the hunt.
Male cooperation and provisioning was critically important for human women because our babies are very helpless, and it requires a huge, huge investment to raise a baby. To regularly lose a baby and have to start over again would not have worked at all for our species. Human females throughout the hunter-gatherer period were very successful in organizing the males to provide for them and in minimizing violence against the females.
But something new happened with the advent of agriculture: people became sedentary. The whole equation around energy and reproduction changed, and it became possible, with stored agricultural produce, to have more babies at shorter birth intervals because they didn't have to be carried around. Suddenly there was massive population growth in the human species. This population growth led to an increase in friction between groups of people and ultimately led to war. Prior to the end of the last Ice Age, there was not much evidence of warfare, but when the ice melted, agriculture took hold, and as archeologist Mary Settegast documents in her book, "Plato Prehistorian," stone arrowheads specialized for war proliferated across Europe and the Near East.
As conflict increased, the males started to gain more power in human social groups as defenders of the clan and tribe, and eventually, what happened was something very new. The males began to assert their control over female reproduction. This was not something that had happened before with the human species, and the first sign we see of this is in the agricultural civilizations of the ancient Near East. The world's first anti-abortion law is found in the Middle Assyrian law code, as discussed by the historian Gerda Lerner in her book "The Creation of Patriarchy." The law required a woman who obtained an abortion to be killed by a stake driven through her heart. It was the harshest punishment the society had.
The curious thing is that this was not a pro-life law code. It was about male control over females. Men claimed for themselves the prerogative to kill any young infants that they wanted to or to sell their children or their wives into slavery. In particular, the new law allowed them to choose to raise more males who could fight as soldiers in armies. This initiation of male reproductive choice in the ancient agricultural civilizations of the Bronze Age is what set patriarchy on its current trajectory of empire, war and the ultimate conquest of the Earth itself that is killing our planet.
It's the remnant of this system that we see today in the extreme fundamentalist theologies that want to remove not only abortion from a woman's options, but birth control as well. It's a little-known fact that the leaders of today's pro-life movement are also very strongly against birth control, and they have a campaign they call the Quiver Full movement that is urging Christian woman, especially white Christian women, to have as many babies as they possibly can. The babies are a "quiver full of arrows" for the Army of God. They even connect this with the immigration debate, saying that the reason why we have so many immigrants is because white, native-born American women are not breeding enough.
Now the genocidal implications of this are clear, but there is also the fact that large families are really completely unnatural for human beings. The natural hunter-gatherers rarely had more than five children and rarely more than two or three who lived to reproduce. So, the idea of a woman having seven or ten or more children is completely unnatural. It's certainly not good for a woman's body to go through that many pregnancies, and it's completely an artifact of patriarchy, male dominance and attempts to control female reproduction.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was an American labor radical and an early proponent of family planning who criticized this system back before 1920. She said: "The large family system rivets the chains of slavery upon labor more securely. It crushes the parents, starves the children, and provides cheap fodder for machines and cannons."
Population is projected to rise to nine billion by 2050, but as recently as 1929, when my parents were born, there were only about two billion people on the planet. That's exactly the number that our best scientists say we can support on this planet with a comfortable lifestyle, not a poor scrabbling starvation lifestyle, living on a dollar a day - the way the majority of people on this planet live today - but a comfortable lifestyle. If we want to meet all the goals for development of human society, nine billion people are too many for that to happen. The ecological limits of the planet say that, and there's really nothing we can do about it.
That doesn't mean that we have to do anything violent or drastic or genocidal or inhumane, but we do need to think about a social and economic system that will move us to that point as quickly as possible, and that system involves complete reproductive freedom and comprehensive health care for all women. We must trust women to make the reproductive decisions that are best for them and the planet.
As a way to focus on the long-term goal of reducing human population to two billion people, families - that is, extended families - could start by looking at how many members were in their family in 1929 or 1930. Sisters and brothers and cousins who were less enthusiastic about having children could, in effect, assign their quota of children to sisters and brothers and cousins who might want to have bigger families. A family of three or four children will be a healthy choice for some. Families of one and two children should be celebrated and encouraged, as well as families of no children or adopted children. More and more women and couples today are choosing to remain childless. A survey in 1995 found that 6.6 percent of women in 1995 declared themselves voluntarily childless, up from 2.4 percent in 1982.
Young people today may find it sad that they come from a small family with few or no siblings, but in a way that is a blessing too. For too long, human society has been fractured into tribes and clans of genetically related people. Today we recognize more and more that we are all part of one human family. We need to look around us and adopt our brothers and sisters from the ranks of our neighbors and friends.
At the end of the day, the most fundamental issue is growth. We live in a culture and an economic system that promotes growth as the ultimate and greatest good. On a finite planet, this amounts to suicide. Growth was good for a certain time. At the beginning of the Industrial Age, it was good to grow our capacity, but with oil - the prime mover of that Industrial Age - running out and also causing grave life-threatening, species-threatening, world-threatening problems of global warming and toxic pollution, growth is no longer good, especially growth in the quantity of goods and the quantity of people.
If we want to meet our goals for the development of human culture and the increase of well-being, the first prerequisite is that we change our attitude about the growth of human population. Most crucially today, a different attitude about abortion may be the key to opening our minds and hearts to the new reality of a contracting human population on a shrinking planet.

Les Blank, whose sly, sensuous and lyrical documentaries about regional music and a host of other idiosyncratic subjects, including Mardi Gras, gaptoothed women, garlic and the filmmaker Werner Herzog, were widely admired by critics and other filmmakers if not widely known by moviegoers, died on Sunday at his home in Berkeley, Calif. He was 77.
The cause was bladder cancer, said his son Harrod.
Mr. Blank, who received lifetime achievement awards from the American Film Institute and the International Documentary Association, did not think of himself as a documentarian, his former wife Chris Simon said, but rather as a filmmaker whose work happened to be about real people.
And his films are hardly standard documentary fare, dominated by archival footage and interviews with talking heads; nor are they of the Frederick Wiseman-D. A. Pennebaker fly-on-the-wall exposé school. Rather, the films, most of them less than an hour long, are "brilliantly sympathetic, well-crafted essays," as John Rockwell wrote in The New York Times in 1979, rife with deftly framed portraiture, cunningly observed social scenes, beautiful nature photography and the poetic juxtaposition of imagery and sound.
"I think he's a national treasure," the director Taylor Hackford said in a telephone interview. "Although his films are not well known at the moment, they'll take their place. Films are great when they live a long time, and I think Les's will live."
Mr. Blank trolled for subject matter on the American periphery, in cultural pockets where the tradition is long but the exposure limited. His films often have a geographic as well as cultural specificity, and food and music are often the featured elements. His musical subjects included norteño bands of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, Cajun fiddlers of Louisiana and polka enthusiasts from across the country.
His films that are explicitly about food and drink include an almost evangelistic paean to garlic and garlic lovers, "Garlic Is as Good as 10 Mothers" (1980), which Mr. Blank sometimes screened in what he called smellovision, cooking up garlic-spiced dishes in the auditorium while the movie played; and "All in This Tea" (2007), which follows David Lee Hoffman, an eccentric American tea importer, as he travels to China in search of the world's most delicate, flavorful tea leaves.
"You could call him an ethnographer; you could call him an ethnomusicologist or an anthropologist," Mr. Hackford said. "He was interested in certain cultures that Americans are unaware of. He shot what he wanted, captured it beautifully, and those subjects are now gone. The homogenization of American culture has obliterated it."
A shy, quiet man, Mr. Blank achieved a kind of intimacy in his work — his subjects often seem almost impossibly at ease — that suggested the camera had been unobtrusive, or perhaps a welcome guest. Mr. Blank sometimes lived among the people he was filming for weeks at a time.
"I try not to make a big deal about the camera, to let it get between me and them," Mr. Blank said in 1979. "I've seen a lot of cameramen go in and treat the subjects like so many guinea pigs. I think the people pick up on my very protective feelings toward them, and they aren't self-conscious about what they do or say, and they try to show the inner light about themselves that I find so attractive."
Mr. Blank created revealing close-up portraits in "Dizzy Gillespie" (1965), about the jazz trumpeter; "The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin' Hopkins" (1968), about that Texas blues guitarist; "Hot Pepper" (1973), which features the zydeco performer Clifton Chenier; and "Sprout Wings and Fly" (1983), about the Appalachian fiddler Tommy Jarrell.
"He doesn't command attention or say very much to them," Harrod Blank, a filmmaker himself, said in an interview. "Now, he will eat their food and buy the drink, and I think that helps. He'll get involved in celebrating what they want to celebrate."
Perhaps his best-known films concern Mr. Herzog, the German director of films like "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and "Stroszek." To encourage his student and friend Errol Morris to finish his long-talked-about film on pet cemeteries, Mr. Herzog had said that when it was done he would eat his shoes. The impetus worked: Mr. Morris finished the film ("Gates of Heaven") in 1978, and Mr. Herzog kept his promise, boiling his leather desert boots in duck fat (and stuffing them with garlic) at Chez Panisse, the celebrated restaurant in Berkeley, and consuming them — partly, anyway — onstage at a local theater. Mr. Blank turned it into a comic, and rather touching, 20-minute film about what artists do for the sake of art, appropriately titled "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe" (1979).
Two years later Mr. Blank was invited to the Peruvian wild, where Mr. Herzog was filming "Fitzcarraldo," his epic and star-crossed film about a man's outlandish, obsessive effort to build an opera house in the jungle, an effort requiring a ship to be hauled over a mountain.
Mr. Blank's feature-length documentary about the project, "Burden of Dreams" (1982), depicted Mr. Herzog himself as outlandish and obsessive as he persevered through the project's endless calamities. It is, The Times's Vincent Canby declared, "one of the most candid, most fascinating portraits ever made of a motion picture director at work."
Leslie Harrod Blank Jr. was born on Nov. 27, 1935, in Tampa, Fla., where his father was a real estate developer. He went to Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., and Tulane University in New Orleans, where he majored in English and aspired to be a writer. He briefly attended graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley, and flirted with the idea of becoming a Navy pilot before he saw the Ingmar Bergman film "The Seventh Seal," which piqued his interest in making movies.
He returned to Tulane to study acting and playwriting and then went to film school at the University of Southern California. Needing money after two years of school, he took jobs making industrial and educational films, which essentially became his apprenticeship, teaching him the technical rudiments of nonfiction filmmaking under real conditions. He formed a production company, Flower Films, in 1967.
Mr. Blank was married and divorced three times. In addition to his son Harrod, whose full name is Leslie Harrod Blank III, he is survived by a daughter, Ferris Robinson; another son, Beau Blank; and three grandchildren.
In 2007 Mr. Blank received the Edward MacDowell Medal, presented annually since 1960 by the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, N.H., to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the arts. Its previous winners included Thornton Wilder, Robert Frost, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein and only two film directors, the avant-gardist Stan Brakhage and the animator Chuck Jones. Mr. Hackford was the chairman of the jury, which included the directors Ken Burns, Steven Soderbergh, Mira Nair and Spike Jonze, as well as Thomas Luddy, a founder of the Telluride Film Festival.
"We all met in New York City, and I was expecting that we'd be discussing names like Francis, Marty, David Lynch and so on," Mr. Luddy wrote in an e-mail. "Taylor Hackford spoke first and said we'd be talking about many of the obvious great names, but his candidate was Les Blank. He said that in 100 years his own films and many of the films by the big names may well be forgotten, but Les Blank's films will be revered as time-capsule classics. I said 'Amen,' as did all the other members of the committee. We never even discussed another name, and our meeting was over in less than an hour."

This is an awesome picture. I attended the original church as a young child and was a junior usher and sang in the junior choir. I knew all of the people in this photo. Many of the sisters in this photo played an important part in my spiritual growth as a child and adult. As a young adult I attended the newly built church until moving to attend college in Los Angeles California. I will cherish this photo.

It is my privilege and honor to serve the people of York and Union counties as the Solicitor for the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit. I believe that public service is the highest and best purpose that I could put my education and experience to and it is for that reason that I have worked my entire professional career as a prosecutor in York and Union Counties. I started with the Solicitor's office as an assistant in 1991. In 1995 I was appointed the Chief Deputy Solicitor for the circuit by then Solicitor Tommy Pope, a position I served in until Tommy's retirement in 2006. Based on my experience and the recommendations of Tommy Pope, Sheriff Bruce Bryant, and all the Chiefs of Police, I was appointed by Governor Mark Sanford to fulfill the balance of Tommy's term. In 2008 I was honored to be elected by the citizens of the 16th Circuit for a four year term. During my years as an assistant I worked with Tommy to reduce a staggering backlog of nearly ten thousand criminal cases to a much more manageable caseload of approximately three thousand cases. Our office adapted and implemented a novel case management method known as Differentiated Case Management (DCM) which has become the model for the rest of the state.

Maybe the Premier League should introduce a new rule especially for Mesut Özil. Perhaps if they banned Arsenal's new £42.5m midfielder from using his left foot things might be a little fairer for the opposition.
Before succumbing to the after effects of a stomach virus and fading in the second half, Özil spent much of Saturday afternoon switching the lights on for Arsène Wenger's side.
Not content with the exquisite creation of Olivier Giroud's opener, he unlocked so many doors for Theo Walcott that, had the England forward properly calibrated his shooting, he would have had a hat-trick. "Özil was lucky, every touch was good," Paolo Di Canio said. "We will all have to check if he has fake boots. They were like a glove. He is a good player."
Where first touch can be a sensitive subject for some professionals, Özil simply looks as if he is wearing magnetic footwear. Wenger must sometimes have to pinch himself before accepting that Real Madrid really were prepared to lose the Germany international.
"He had not practised with the team at all but he looked very comfortable, especially his first touch," said Arsenal's manager. "His passing and his retention of the ball gives everyone time to move; his game is based on a lot of movement. He gives us a kind of technical security with interesting creativity. He is a great player and there is a lot more to come from him once he gets used to the contact in England. He's given everyone a huge lift."
Wenger revealed that, had Santi Cazorla – sidelined until after the next international break – been fit, Özil would not have started after the newcomer spent part of Friday being sick. If the late decision to select him represented a gamble, so too did Di Canio's persistence with an ultra attack-minded 4-4-2 formation against a visiting midfield quintet.
Initially Ki Sung-yueng and David Vaughan, Sunderland's central midfielders, were left fighting far too many fires with Vaughan, particularly, looking alarmingly lightweight but, after the break, the bravery of Di Canio's strategy was vindicated by some high-quality football containing genuine hope for the future.
One point from the season's first four games has left the Italian's Wearside "revolution" undeniably fragile but, important as Saturday's trip to West Brom has become there were several signs that Sunderland's short-term pain could well lead to long-term gain.
"Sunderland have potential," Wenger said. "The result was a bit flattering for us. They gave us a lot of problems in the second half." Considering that the Frenchman was invariably rather sniffy about the much more pragmatic Wearside teams produced by Steve Bruce and Martin O'Neill this speaks volumes.
Once Craig Gardner replaced Vaughan, Sunderland improved. When Laurent Koscielny lunged, unwisely, at Adam Johnson, Gardner equalised from the penalty spot and, although Aaron Ramsey's superlative volley restored Arsenal's lead, an awful refereeing decision arguably changed the game.
Jozy Altidore thought he had equalised after brushing Bacary Sagna off but, contentiously, Martin Atkinson had declined to play advantage, instead pulling play back and awarding a free-kick.
"I am sad but not worried," said Di Canio, who was sent to the stands late on after engaging Atkinson in animated conversation. "I don't care I was sent off, I am coming away feeling positive. Arsenal play football like we want to play but they have being doing this for years.
"The fans might not be happy, they might be thinking: 'What's going on?' but, listen to me, in four months' time we will know the system and each other better. We will play good football. We will win games."
How he could do with a dynamic holding midfielder like Ramsey. Linking play seamlessly, the impressive Welshman sealed Arsenal's win with his second goal, a shot slipped beneath Keiren Westwood before graciously accepting second billing.
"You saw what Mesut is all about with those lovely, telling through balls," Ramsey enthused. "That's why he's top of the European assist chart.
"He's an unbelievable talent and the timing of his passes is everything. He has a wonder of a left foot and the way he strokes the ball means that the passes he delivers always seem to be perfectly weighted right into players' strides."
Small wonder Giroud believes Özil can not only help extend his record of scoring in every league game so far this season but offer him "a chance" of eclipsing Robin van Persie and co to become the Premier League's leading scorer.
"We knew all about his quality but, when you're out there with him, he's even better," Giroud said. "He sees things so early while his first touch is simply amazing. You can see immediately he is going to make this team better."
Man of the match Mesut Özil (Arsenal)

Boodles Challenge II
PTA World Tour 250 - Wednesday - Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom - Grass
- In the Trans CWLand clash, Jojo Mustard has earned an impressive grass court victory as he beat rival Jefferson Drake 6-4, 6-4. In a rather bad spirited match for an exhibition, the two were not able to keep the bad blood off the court as they struggled to put aside their differences. It resulted in an intriguing match as Drake shifted between serious mode and mocking mode - he even returned an entire service game against Mustard with drop shots. Late in the sets, though, the pace and the quality picked up as two players who will hope to feature in the second week of Wimbledon showed some of their better tennis. Ultimately, though, it was Mustard who prevailed as the West CWLander won in straight sets.
- He will meet China's Zhijun Sun who beat Dwayne Murdoch 6-4, 7-5. In an entertaining affair, the highly rated Zhijun, a former World No. 5, looked like he had recaptured some of his very best form as he tamed the dangerous American slugger in a tight straight sets win. While he plays Mustard, Murdoch now faces Drake in their next matchup.
- In the day's exhibition contest, Wimbledon semifinalist Zoltán Varga beat Becker Haas of Germany 6-2, 7-5.

Redknapp this week described the scramble among players' representatives as "gang warfare" and Pardew, who managed to make six signings during the January transfer window, believes there should be greater regulation.
Writing in his programme notes ahead of Saturday afternoon's Barclays Premier League clash with Chelsea, Pardew said: "Agents have a habit of moving the goalposts when you feel a deal is close, so it is a difficult business to be a part of."
He added: "I echo the view of QPR boss Harry Redknapp earlier in the week that some of the things going on are not right, and maybe the behaviour of agents is something the game's authorities need to look at."
Newcastle were among the most active of Premier League clubs last month as they landed Mathieu Debuchy, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Yoan Gouffran, Massadio Haidara, Moussa Sissoko and Kevin Mbabu, and their spending spree paid immediate dividends on Tuesday evening when four of the new boys played a part in a vital 2-1 victory at Aston Villa.
Managing director Derek Llambias is confident the club has now addressed a lack of depth in the squad and is hopeful they can drag themselves out of relegation trouble.
He said: "While injuries of the magnitude that we've experienced cannot be predicted, with the January signings and the return of a number of key players, we feel we have redressed the balance and that we are now well equipped to push on and pick up the points which will help us to climb the table.
"We know that's easier said than done, particularly in a league as competitive as the Premier League, but we've done as much as we possibly can to achieve this."

Nash From The Philippines
Wanna Say Hi all the way from the sunny country of the Philippines...
I'm a new pitbull owner its my first time and I'm looking forward to learning tips and suggestions in raising my 4 1/2 month old blue amstaff "Daddy"
I'm 28 y/o currently living with my girlfriend and her 6 year old daughter, both of us are pet lovers, shes got chihuahua and i got two Himalayan cats at home before moving in together. Just recently we decided to add another family member "Daddy"
This is Daddy and my Girlfriends Daughter
Daddy and our 2 year old Chihuahua "Matty"
My Girlfriend and our two Dogs
This is me and my girlfriend
I work at a Business Process Outsourcing company here in the Philippines catering to Different accounts like HP, SiriusXM and Dish Network. I work as a manager for operations for an account that has a little over 500 employees.
My experience so far with Daddy has been amazing, personally i feel that Pitbulls are one of the most misunderstood breeds. Believe it or not i used to be one of those ignorant folks thinking that pitbulls are "people eaters" but what i found so far is that they're gentle, goofy, stubborn and really motivated. I'm currently deeply involved with raising Daddy, we go on 2-3 kilometers walks everday (except when we have typhoons). I've taught him to sit, go down on command, heel and fetch. Everyday I learn from him. He as taught me to be more patient in work and life and to always keep moving forward. In one way or another it sounds spiritual but I kinda see myself in him, because of his antics.
Right now I'm considering getting a female amstaff to become daddy's partner. He tends to play a little too rough with my girlfriends Chihuahua. 8-}

After winning Bigg Boss 6, Urvashi Dholakia is set to feature in another non-fiction show.
"I will be seen doing something soon. The show is non-fiction but I don't think I have the liberty to say anything more as of now," she told IANS.
Will you work in Welcome - Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki? "Yes, there were talks of me being in the show. I have shot the pilot episode with them for the show, but I am unsure about it (doing further)," she said.
Best remembered for her negative role as Komolika in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, which ran for about seven years, the actress just won season six of reality show Bigg Boss and took home a prize money of Rs.50 Lakh.
She has also been a part of shows like Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii, Mehndi Tere Naam Ki and Kahiin To Hoga among others.

Steve Young gets the monkey off his back
Success in the 49ers organization is measured in Super Bowl titles. Steve Young was able to win passer titles and MVP awards, but the Lombardi Trophy eluded him until he led the 49ers to victory in Super Bowl XXIX.
Al Behrman/Associated Press
49ers were the first franchise to win five Super Bowl titles
The win broke a tie between the Steelers and 49ers, as both franchises held perfect 4-0 marks during the Super Bowl. But after Super Bowl XXIX, the 49ers claimed the title "First to Five."
Kevin Terrell/Associated Press
The Steelers were undefeated in Super Bowl titles
The Steelers were undefeated, but that streak would come to an end the following year when the Cowboys avenged two previous losses with a victory in Super Bowl XXX. The Steelers have lost two Super Bowls now (included Super Bowl XLV), but can claim to be the first team to win six Super Bowls.
Jim Rogash/Associated Press
The Patriots had a forgettable Super Bowl history
When it came to Super Bowl appearances, the Patriots had one embarrassing loss to the Bears in Super Bowl XX. The Patriots would fall to the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI, but the team eventually became a dynasty when Bill Belichick and Tom Brady came of age in 2001.
Paul Spinelli/Associated Press
The Ageless Jerry Rice
Jerry Rice still played for the 49ers in 1994 (he would go on to play for the Raiders and Seahawks). He would go on to have 729 receptions for 9,620 receiving yards and 66 touchdowns after Super Bowl XXIX. That's a like a Hall of Fame career just in that time span alone.
Associated Press
Los Angeles had pro football
Most kids graduating high school now might not realize this, but the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Raiders concluded their final seasons in 1994. The Raiders played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (where USC plays) and the Rams called Anaheim home (in Angel Stadium).
Associated Press
The 1995 expansion
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers kicked off their inaugural seasons in 1995. Both teams found themselves in the conference title games in 1996.
David Scarbrough/Associated Press
Love ya Blue
The football team in Houston was known as the Oilers, and Tennessee had no professional teams. The Oilers moved to Tennessee after the 1996 season and played in the Liberty Bowl (1997) and Vanderbilt Stadium (1998) before they eventually opened up LP Field. The Houston Texans began play in 2002.
Daniel Portnoy/Associated Press
Ray Lewis, Hurricane
Ray Lewis prepared for his junior season at the University of Miami during January of 1995. Lewis, of course, will play in his final NFL game in Super Bowl XLVII.
Donna McWilliam/Associated Press
Twenty new stadiums have been built
Including the expansion teams, the NFL has ushered in 20 new stadiums since the last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl. The 49ers are expected to open a new stadium in Santa Clara in 2014.
National Football League
Colin Kaepernick was 7
Colin Kaepernick was just a youngster who dreamt of playing in the NFL the last time the San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl.
Associated Press
Get ready to feel real old
Robert Griffin III (4), Andrew Luck (5) and Russell Wilson (6) might have been a little too young to dream of playing in the NFL.
Associated Press
Thank goodness for Google Maps
If you ever wanted to use the NFL as a geography lesson, good luck. In 1995, the expansion Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons were members of the NFC West.
Kevin Terrell/Associated Press
East is finally East
And to make matters worse, in 1995 the Arizona Cardinals were members of the NFC East, where they were a division mainstay for a number of years. The NFL officially adopted the current divisional alignment in 2002.
Al Golub/Associated Press
Coach on the field
Jim Harbaugh joined the Indianapolis Colts in 1994, and he led the team to the 1995 AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But his bid for a Super Bowl berth failed when his desperation heave at the end of the game fell on the Three Rivers turf.
Mark Humphrey/Associated Press
Humble beginnings
Peyton Manning had just finished his freshman year at the University of Tennessee when Super Bowl XXIX kicked off.
Paul Jasienski/Associated Press
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wore gaudy orange uniforms through the first two decades of the team's existence. The current look for the Buccaneers was unveiled in 1997.
Eric Bakke/Associated Press
Orange crush
The Denver Broncos also dumped their orange jerseys for navy blue in 1997. But the orange has come back to the Broncos for the 2012 season. Will the Buccaneers follow their lead? (Don't count on it.)
John Swart/Associated Press
Walter Payton was still the NFL's all-time rushing leader, with 16,726 career yards. His eventual successor, Emmitt Smith, was still a long way off after the 1994 season.
National Football League
That's Incredible!
You know who was the NFL's all-time leader in passing yardage? Nope, it wasn't Dan Marino. He wouldn't break Fran Tarkenton's record until the 1995 season.
National Football League
Incredible run
Eric Dickerson held the single-season rushing leader in 1994. Oh wait, nobody has broken the record yet, though Adrian Peterson did come close in 2012.
Lynne Sladky/Associated Press
The Miami Dolphins were the only team to go undefeated in the regular season of the modern NFL, until the New England Patriots of 2007. Note the use of the word "modern NFL" so we give our due love to the Canton Bulldogs.
Scott Boehm/Associated Press
No team had ever suffered the indignity of an 0-16 season (the Buccaneers went 0-26 to start their franchise history, but were 0-14 in their inaugural season). The Detroit Lions changed all of that in 2008.
David Stluka/Associated Press
Believe it or not, in 1995 people were rooting for Brett Favre who had yet to win a Super Bowl. When the San Francisco 49ers won Super Bowl XXIX, Favre was still two years away from winning his first and only Super Bowl title.
Tom DiPace/Associated Press
This one's for John!
John Elway also didn't have a Super Bowl win at this point. Elway and his Denver Broncos finally broke through the year after Favre won his title by beating him and the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII.

What's in a Name? How Nations Define Terrorism Ten Years after 9/11
University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law, Vol. 33, p. 1, 2011
Western New England University School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 11-5
64 Pages Posted: 6 Jun 2011 Last revised: 10 Dec 2011
Date Written: 2011
Ten years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, it almost goes without saying that the acts of grotesque violence committed on that day have had enormous effects on national security law and policy worldwide. To be labeled a terrorist, or to be accused of involvement in an act of terrorism, carries far more severe repercussions now than it did ten years ago. This is true under international law and under domestic law in nations that have dealt with serious national security concerns for many years.
Given the U.N.'s global mandate to combat terrorism and that being defined as a terrorist can have widespread legal implications, this Article seeks to address how legal definitions are shaped and analyzes the lack of a globally accepted definition of terrorism in the context of domestic counterterrorism obligations. This Article addresses a significant historical gap in examining the interplay between international obligations and domestic definitions, the previously overlooked history and evolution of those definitions, and the potential rule of law issues arising from the definitions in their current form.
In examining counterterrorism law in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India, it is clear that definitions of terrorism under various domestic laws have been repurposed from one legislative context to another and broadened in application, particularly since September 11. This has led to the arguably unintended consequences of disparate impact on outsider groups and the unmooring from rule of law principles. Since neither international norms nor domestic courts provide a significant check against creeping definitions, legislatures must take proactive steps to combat potential overreaching in applying the label of terrorism.
Keywords: definitions of terrorism, procedural controls, comparative law, United Kingdom, India

The Neptunes started as a rock band, somehow got into producing rap and R&B bangers, decided along the way they'd return to the rock thing sometime after NERD's first record. Misguided decision, in my humble fucking opinion, but I guess everyone needs variety in their lives.

Schroders Quickview: Draghi fires bazooka, but we are still waiting for the cavalry
War on inflation
The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates across the board with the deposit rate dropping another 10 basis points (bps) to -0.4%, while the main refinancing rate has been reduced by 5 bps to 0%.
The quantitative easing (QE) programme has been stepped up by €20 billion to €80 billion per month, starting from April and will include non-bank investment grade euro corporate bonds.
Finally, the ECB announced a new series of four targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO II), each with a maturity of four years, starting in June 2016.
Borrowing conditions in these operations can be as low as the interest rate on the deposit facility if a bank exceeds its lending benchmark.
These moves can be seen in the context of another downgrade to the ECB's inflation forecast to 0.1% this year (previously 1%) and 1.3% next year (previously 1.6%). Growth forecasts were also trimmed.
No more rate cuts?
However, while today's action may have exceeded expectations, the ECB President then disappointed markets with his comment in the press conference that the governing council was not looking to cut rates further.
This reversed the rally in equities and led to a sharp rebound in the euro to 1.12 versus the US dollar, after an initial drop to 1.08. Government bond yields followed a similar path and as a result financial market conditions will have tightened on the day.
The hope will be that by increasing the incentive for banks to lend we will see a revival in investment and growth.
However, alongside doubts about the efficacy of negative interest rates, the weakness of capital spending is global and reflects a reluctance to borrow as much as an unwillingness to lend.
As Draghi has indicated, he needs the support of governments and fiscal policy to win this fight.

text: Scary moment last night for Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 overall choice in last year's MLB draft. Cole was making just his second start for the Altoona Curve, the Pirates' Double-A affiliate, when what you see in the video above happened in the first inning. Cole somehow finished the inning by facing three more hitters. He then left the game and was taken to a hospital. The Pirates reported today that a CT scan turned up negative, and Cole has a "contusion on his jaw."
