Inaugural edition of Fantasia International Film Festival's international co-production market saw five projects find a co-producer, two find a sales agent and one project is currently in production.
Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival has announced that its Frontières International Co-Production Market is to return for its second edition from July 25-28.
Frontières is the first co-production market to join North America and Europe in an environment focused on genre film. Its inaugural edition in 2012 attracted over 250 attendees from the international film industry and featured 14 projects in its line-up, as well as 10 in its Off-Frontières line-up, from the likes of Quebec and Canada, the US, the UK, France and Australia.
As a result of its first edition, five projects found a co-producer, two found a sales agent and one project is currently in production. They include RKSS' Turbo Kid (with EMA Films coming in as Canadian producer), Robert Morgan & Sam Walker's The Withering signing with Raven Banner for both co-production and international sales and TCB Film coming on board Fabrice Blin's Sève as Canadian producer.
Stephanie Trepanier [pictured], market director, commented: "It's always hard to build expectations with the first edition of an event, but we were very pleased with the results of the first edition of Frontières. Accreditations were at full capacity, the organisation went very smoothly and we received a lot of very positive comments."
She continued: "Many participants have told us how satisfied they were with the new encounters they made during the Industry Rendez-Vous, many of them now leading to professional partnerships as well as friendships, which are just as important for us. The genre film world is a big family and Fantasia has always been one of the places on the circuit where we can meet in a most convivial way."
Fantasia aims to select 12 projects for Frontières' second edition, with the only criteria being that they must be market premieres with a completed script as well as being applicable to an international co-production environment, ideally with a Canadian production element. Its Off-Frontières selection will allow projects in a wider range of development stages and production environments.
Trepanier told Screen that while the focus of the projects involved won't change, this year will see Fantasia expand the reach of Frontières.
"We are looking at including the same territories as last year and feature as many projects, but we want to increase our accreditations rate, especially with producers, financiers and international sales agents looking to attach themselves on new projects," explained Trepanier. "We are changing the location of the event to a more modern and spacious space to accommodate an increase in participation."
Deadline for Frontières submission is March 26. For more information, visit Fantasia's website.
The 17th edition of Fantasia runs July 18-Aug 6.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a study of newly-licensed drivers, the number of sharp turns and screeching halts teens made predicted their chance of having a crash or a near crash a few weeks later.
Researchers said that while they'd assumed riskier young drivers have more accidents, the new study provides more concrete data to show that's likely the case.
"In some ways, it's not a huge surprise what they found," said Jean Shope, a researcher from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute in Ann Arbor who wasn't involved in the new study.
"A lot of us have ridden with drivers who drive in a jerky way and start too fast and then have to brake hard, and it makes us uncomfortable," she told Reuters Health. "We instinctively know these people are putting themselves at risk, and us."
Though the study used computer and camera equipment to measure "elevated gravitational-force events," or g-force events, researchers said what may be most important is that monitoring and feedback happen at all — whether they come from a device or a person.
"In a way this reminds us how important it is that parents monitor their young person's early driving, and have some sense of how they're doing," Shope said.
Researchers led by Bruce Simons-Morton from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland, outfitted the cars of 42 new teen drivers in Virginia with equipment to record high g-force events, such as quick starts and sharp, screeching turns.
They monitored the drivers for 18 months, also keeping track of any crashes or near crashes the teens had.
For every 100 miles of driving, the equipment recorded from close to zero to about 50 elevated g-force events, depending on the teen. Out of more than 68,000 driving trips across the study, there were 37 crashes and 242 near crashes while the teens were behind the wheel.
Simons-Morton and his colleagues found that as the rate of g-force events during driving increased, so too did the number of crashes and near crashes. G-force events in one month, they reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology, did a fairly good job of predicting a teen's crashes and near crashes in the next month.
"What we're saying in this paper is not that these events cause the crash," Simons-Morton told Reuters Health.
"What it means is that the pattern of driving, of risky driving measured by elevated g-force events, seems to be about as good a predictor as we know of for predicting a crash, at least among young drivers."
Though the devices his team used are not widely available, electronic products that assess teen driving and give feedback are on the market. The systems run about $500, plus a monthly service fee.
It hasn't been proven whether having that kind of system in the car will cut an individual teen's chance of getting into an accident.
"I don't know how likely it is that this is a widely practical application," Shope said.
Parents can also keep a close eye on their kids without any special equipment, researchers said, and make sure they avoid situations that increase their chance of having an accident.
"What's important for parents to know and for policymakers to know is that young drivers are at very high risk, and even if you could identify those who are at somewhat lower risk than higher risk, the biggest part of the risk is being inexperienced," Simons-Morton said.
"Novice drivers should mainly be driving on the best and most familiar roads, (during) daytime, not bad weather... until they get enough experience."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Washington must do more to support democratic institutions in Lebanon because of the Beirut "takeover" by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, a U.S. lawmaker said.
Hezbollah in January led opposition lawmakers in mass resignations that brought down the Western-backed government of Saad Hariri. Hezbollah was upset over Hariri's continued support for a tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was Saad Hariri's father.
Hezbollah is expected to be implicated by the tribunal. Hezbollah lent its support to Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati but insisted the former Hariri ally was a consensus candidate.
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said during a committee hearing on the political turmoil sweeping across the Middle East that trends in Beirut were troubling.
"In Lebanon, we have witnessed the takeover of the country by the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis," she said in her statement. Developments in Beirut and those in Egypt, she said, showed Washington "failed to develop and implement a longer-term strategy to move beyond the status quo and prepare for the future."
She complained that despite Hezbollah gaining political influence in Lebanon, Washington continued to provide military aid and political support to the Lebanese government.
"Even now, when the Lebanese government has been overthrown, the United States has still failed to indicate that it will cut off assistance to a proxy government for Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah," she complained.

'We're at the beginning': Water group's recommendations focus on future
Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of stories exploring local and state issues related to dairy farms.
In December 2016, the St. Croix County Board established a committee to study ground and surface water quality. The group, established in place of a moratorium on concentrated animal feeding operations, presented their nine months of research and discussion to the St. Croix County Board in October.
The study group proposed more research into the distinctions between agricultural and non-agricultural sources of nitrate pollution.
This research was among several study group recommendations calling for improved "baseline data" regarding the county's water quality.
PREVIOUSLY: Reactions mixed on water group recommendations — now what?
"It's a starting point," said Kim Dupre, a resident of Emerald township. "We've got to start somewhere, we've got to get data. The best arguments for doing what we need to do will be getting that data that protects public health."
A regular and vocal attendee at the study group's and Community Development meetings, Dupre heads Emerald Clean Water for All, a grassroots organization aimed at protecting the community's water supply.
The group stepped forward as opponents of a request from dairy operator Emerald Sky to expand its Wisconsin facility from about 2,400 animal units to 8,800 in May 2016.
Their mission to block the expansion amped up this spring when an anonymous tipster reported a large-scale manure spill at the facility that went uncleaned and unreported for nearly three months.
Although the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources launched an investigation into the spill, some Emerald residents said during a public comment period in May that the county failed to properly notify them of the spill.
Among the recommendations approved at the St. Croix County Board's October meeting was establishing a protocol for responding to water resource pollution emergencies that pose a threat to residents' health.

The board also proposed establishing an active water quality committee to advocate for water quality as a priority the county continues to address in the future.
Jody Lenz, who owns and operates Threshing Table, a community supported agriculture farm near Star Prairie, echoed Dupre's sentiment.
Everyone who participated in the study group, she said, agreed groundwater needs to be clean. The cause of unclean water, however, was far from consensus.
"All this work we just did is just beginning," she said. "As long as that water study group comes to fruition and does a good job of continuing to keep these things at the forefront. If all we go back to what's in place, then we are not truly protecting groundwater."
The group's proposed recommendations for revising land use and zoning policies included updating well standards and potentially adopting each level of a five-tier regulatory system for design and construction.
This could improve access to data, said citizen member Tom Zwald, whose family operates a dairy farm in St. Croix County, by shifting some of the regulatory authority from the Wisconsin DNR to the county.
"It will actually give us the exact data without requesting it from the DNR of where all the wells are constructed when pumps are put in," Zwald said. "The bigger thing is it gets the county the water data from any new construction and any new pump installation."
COMPARE: Municipal and private high-capacity wells in and near Pierce, Polk and St. Croix Counties
Another recommendation calls for identifying and mapping environmentally sensitive areas such as sinkholes and karst, as well as areas vulnerable to pollution.
The county could also develop and publish data and maps charting topographical features like bedrock, recharge, discharge and aquifers.
"This is taking a further look at how groundwater flows in the county," said citizen member Leslie Svacina.
Moving forward
County Supervisor Bill Peavey, the District 19 representative who cast the sole "no" vote against the recommendations, said he worried mapping efforts could encroach on landowners' rights.
"I think we've got to keep in mind to protect the private property rights of the individual," he said. "You're talking about sinkholes or depth to surface water — that's all private property and we can't think we can just go out and do that, go out and look for karst topography."
Enerson expressed similar trepidation over other recommendations, including one that would establish notification protocols for critical events like the manure spill that occurred near his property.
"I think it's a good idea, but it gets concerning when government is growing," he said. "What is someone with an $80,000-a-year job going to tell me what I have to do next week?"
Another recommendation he said could lead to government overreach is the increased effort to chart environmentally sensitive areas. He said it could lead to home and property owners unduly shouldering costs to fix identified issues.
"It puts the burden on the homeowner that I don't think should be there," he said.
The study group also advocated for the development of a more uniform, "scientifically sound" system to test well water for contaminants.
Despite ultimately voting in favor of the recommendations, Supervisor David Peterson, District 15, questioned whether current water testing procedures needed modifications.
"You can get a test kit from the (agricultural) center," he said. "If you're worried about your water, don't hesitate to have it tested. It's just some very common sense stuff to not get false readings."
But Svacina said the changes could establish a less complicated, more reliable system for compiling baseline data for the wells.
"The lab data that comes back from different labs also varies in terms of what that looks like," she said. "Then you also add in the factor of citizens are doing this themselves— our county doesn't always see that data."
According to the report prepared for the County Board at the conclusion of the water study group, the county has 161 public wells and 40 municipal wells, which supply water to 41,513 people.
The county also has roughly 16,000 private wells, the report states, which require no testing, nor is corrective action required should contamination be discovered. Private-well owners are responsible for maintaining the safety of their well water.
"It definitely makes me feel like it's such a giant mountain and we're chipping away with a teeny, tiny ice pick," Lenz said. "I have hope — because I have to have hope — that the pendulum will swing and this really good information will get out and, sadly, it will take Big Ag figuring out how to make money on it. We're at the beginning."

I had a social studies teacher in high school whose special gift was expansiveness. On the first day of school, he drew a "1" in a box on the blackboard and confabulated a notion of "Square One" that eluded understanding so narrowly and deftly that it made the first page of a standard European history text seem like the launching pad for an epic journey from nescience to knowledge. Part of his talent sprang from a liberating imprecision that occasionally glossed facts and dates but opened up oodles of inspiring conceptual wiggle room. His overarching mission, it seemed, was not so much to make history come alive as to demonstrate that history was life and life history, and he'd seize any opportunity to prove the point.
He made one of his most memorable leaps of logic during the spring of 1984 when the Beach Boys rolled into town to play Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium. He urged us all to go, explaining: "What you'll see there is the end of an era."
I suppose the most important thing I learned from Mr. Gould (here's to ya, if you're out there) was that there is no single right version of history; it's all interpretation, right down to the bookends we use to mark our so-called eras. His approach supports the argument that the 20th Century began 45 years in at Hiroshima. It lets us say the Sixties began in Montgomery in '55, or Dallas in '63, and that they ended at Altamont in '69, at the Watergate hotel in '72, or here in Madison with the tragically botched bombing of the Army Math Research Center in 1970.
Almost no one I know marks the passing of the year in any practical sense on December 31. The academics in my life operate strictly September-May, and most of us in the DV and DVD industries toil in the long shadows of the March-to-March Japanese fiscal.
December marked the end of an era for us at EMedia with the retirement of longtime senior copy editor Holly Pivor, who picked up after me for nearly as long as my mother, steered me out of harm's way nearly as often, and with just as gentle a hand. For me personally, a new year, new era, new life began on November 3, with the birth of my son Henry.
In any event, in the spirit of the eponymous Roman god Janus, I'll use this January Spin (or what's left of it) to look back at the major developments of 2003 for the digital studio, using the change in year as a convenient—if not compelling—signpost.
Most visibly, 2003 brought a spate of software releases in the digital studio space—Final Cut Pro 4, Premiere Pro, Liquid Edition, Vegas 4, Encore, DVD Studio Pro 2. But 2003 wouldn't have been such a banner year for software solutions if it hadn't been for a sea change in enabling hardware. The single most significant technological development of 2003 was the emergence of mainstream multiprocessor personal computers. It began with the hyperthreaded (HT) Pentium 4, a single-processor chip that isolated processor-intensive tasks (in HT-optimized tools) like video effects rendering so effectively you'd think they were faking it. (Which, in fact, they were.) Following closely behind the HT P4 was Intel's Xeon dual processor, which delivered a "true" dual-chip system for a price that's beyond the general computing mainstream, but now well within the range of the creative professional.
Shortly thereafter came Apple's dual G5, a system of genuinely frightening power. And if Apple's market share remained some cause for concern, who could resist their razzle-dazzle with the G5, Panther, and an armful of Editor's Choice-winning tools (the juiced FCP 4 and spruced DVD Studio Pro 2).
On the prosumer/consumer end, integration reigned supreme, with products like Pinnacle Edition and Studio unifying editing and authoring; Adobe's Collection and Ulead's Quartet modeling life en suite; and Roxio, Nero, and Sonic debuting the about-damn-time fusion of DVD authoring and CD/DVD recording.
Also noteworthy was the de facto détente between the DVD recording formats, heralded by the mid-year release of the Pioneer DVR-A06, which joined recorders from +RW Alliance adherents in multifamily burning bliss, offering DVD±R and ±RW in the same drive. Who's to say if someday we'll see this commingling move in the same light as the Irish soldier at Kinsale who wandered drunk into the British camp and confessed his side's battle plans, irrevocably turning the tide of that centuries-long colonial struggle. Or, more likely, look back on it as the time when the recorder manufacturers simply relieved their customers of the punctillious +/- burden.
The year's "Howard Hughes in Dylan's Shoes" moment happened in October when Napster re-emerged, corporate-coiffed, to go head-to-head with iTunes in the cut-throat dollar-a-download business. Is that Freedom Rock? Turn it up!
Finally we saw the last-ditch effort of accidental anarchist 321 Studios to keep DVD X Copy alive. As they offered a LiteOn DVD recorder for $20 with every purchase of two 321 tools, they fired another blank across the DMCA's bow. A $250 street price for an internal DVD recorder and two bundled recording tools? Yawn. That was 2002's big breakthrough.
I don't know why I always end up knocking these guys. Probably because they're not as righteous as their rhetoric implies. But that doesn't mean they aren't right. 321 may not get there with us, but non-distributive copying of copyrighted material will become the single most common—and openly discussed—function of DVD recorders in 2004. We may not be at the "3,2,1..." stage yet, but feel free to start your countdown any time. And call it a new era if you like. You might not be right, but you wouldn't be wrong.

Sub regional workshop on the practical Manual "Introducing Young People to Heritage site Management and Protection"
Cette page n'est pas intégralement disponible en français, vous pouvez la consulter en anglais.
TUNIS, Tunisia, 11-13 February 2005
A Regional Workshop on the Practical Manual: Introducing Young People to Heritage Site Management and Protection was held in Tunis involving teachers, from 7 countries in the Arab region, in the discussion and evaluation of pedagogic and curricula approaches for the protection of historic sites and cities.
The ultimate aim of the workshop is to ensure that the general public involvement, responsibility, sense of ownership and thereby, support in conserving heritage are improved by providing information on cultural heritage, preservation, and value of both communities at different levels.
Specific objectives of the workshop
- Encouraging the participation of school teachers in conservation and awareness programs aiming at safeguarding heritage sites and cities in the Arab region;
- Providing teachers with a variety of pedagogic tools and approaches to introduce heritage education in school curricula;
- Testing with ASPnet teachers the manual "Introducing Young People to Heritage Site Management and Protection" and assessing its applicability to their own context;
- Receiving the teachers' comments and suggestions in order to improve the 2nd edition of the manual.
The participating teachers agreed on:
- Heritage can successfully be introduces in schools;
- Young people would be interested in the proposed activities in the Manual if they are presented clearly to pupils;
- The main obstacles in achieving the objectives set in the Manual are related to:
- The lack of support by the senior officials at the Ministries of Education and Culture
- The lack of time devoted to such activities in schools systems
- The difficulty to establish interdisciplinary programs with other teachers
- The costs of transportation which do not enable students to visit sites nation-wide
- Close cooperation should be established between schools and educational services such as museums and cultural heritage sites etc.
- Collaboration between the ministries of education and culture needs to be improved in order to facilitate introducing heritage in school curricula
- Teachers are ready to deal with the challenges, but decision-makers still need to take further steps towards raising public awareness for the protection of heritage sites in the Arab States
- Organization of similar regional activities should be considered with the involvement of concerned decision-makers to facilitate and support school initiatives.
27 participants, of which 19 teachers from 7 Arab states; 2 representatives of the UNESCO Amman Office; 3 participants from ICCROM; and 3 participants from OWHC (Organization of World Heritage Cities)
Countries represented
Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia.
The workshop was initiated in cooperation with OWHC (Organization of World Heritage Cities) and with the participation of the Aga Khan foundation of Syria, the Association de Sauvegard de Madina and ICCROM.

The new Vande Poel-Heeringa Stadium Courts made their debut Monday with the beginning of summer-long programs sponsored by the Hope Tennis Academy. The 12-court facility gives Hope its first college-owned outdoor tennis courts in more than half-a-century. The new courts join the six-court DeWitt indoor facility in comprising the Hope College Tennis Complex at the Ekdal J. Buys athletic fields.
The facility includes an officials' shelter and elevated seating for spectators. It will provide Hope athletes with a playing venue they have needed for years -- eliminating the need to play home matches at local high schools. It will also serve community tennis enthusiasts and the Hope Tennis Academy.
The courts are named for Earle Vande Poel '35 and George Heeringa '36, doubles partners on the Hope tennis team in the 1930s, and made possible by a leadership gift from the Ted '72 and Barb '73 Etheridge family.
The new courts are located close to Hope's DeWitt Tennis Center which features six indoor courts. The Hope College Tennis Complex is part of the Ekdal J. Buys outdoor athletics facility, joining the Gordon Brewer track, the Boeve Baseball Stadium, Wolters Softball Stadium and Van Andel Soccer Stadium.

MONTREAL - For a second year in a row, the Montreal Alouettes will start the CFL season with a new head coach.
Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall announced Monday that Tom Higgins will be the club's new head coach.
The former Edmonton Eskimos and Calgary Stampeders bench boss replaces general manager Jim Popp, who took over on Aug. 1 when the inexperienced Dan Hawkins was fired only five games into the 2013 season.
Wetenhall made it clear in a statement that he did not want Popp, who is considered one of the CFL's best GMs but has a career 16-20 record as a coach, to continue in both jobs.
"As I've expressed to the media in recent weeks, I wanted to continue with the formula which has brought us the success we've enjoyed these past 17 years — having a full-time head coach and a full-time general manager to fill each of these positions," said Wetenhall.
"The criteria we established was to find an individual familiar with the CFL; someone with success in that position and a background as a position coach. In addition, we sought an individual with a record for moulding and delivering championship teams.
"In Tom's seven years as a head coach he won three division championships along with a Grey Cup, and twice earned recognition as the CFL's coach of the year. His head coaching record of 72-53-1 speaks for itself. We welcome Tom to the Alouettes family."
Popp had made no secret of wanting to continue coaching, but Wetenhall put out a statement recently saying candidates would be interviewed.
A year ago, the Alouettes waited until Feb. 19 to name Hawkins, a former U.S. university coach with no experience of the Canadian game. He was 2-3 when he was fired with the team in disarray.
Popp, the Alouettes' GM since they returned to Montreal in 1996, took over as coach for the third time in his career and went 6-7.
It marked only the second time since 1996 the team had a losing record, matching the 8-10 mark Popp put up in his only full season as head coach in 2007. It hurt that starting quarterback Anthony Calvillo was lost for the season in August to a concussion.
This time, the team waited five days longer to name a new coach and came up with Higgins, who stepped down in December after five years as the CFL's director of officiating.
Higgins did not even get introduced at a press conference. The club said "time constraints and personal obligations" prevented bringing him to Montreal for the announcement, but that he will talk to the media Tuesday on a conference call.
He takes over a team that will not have CFL all-time passing leader Calvillo as its starter for the first time since 2000.
Instead, 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and young prospect Tanner Marsh are pegged to replace the retired future Hall of Famer.
Higgins, who will turn 60 on July 13, led the Eskimos to 13-5 records twice and won a Grey Cup in 2003 in his four years with the club. He had a 28-25 record in three seasons in Calgary from 2005 to 2007.
"Tom has worked with and tutored many of the CFL's finest quarterbacks — Doug Flutie, Henry Burris and Ricky Ray, to mention a few," said team president Mark Weightman. "His expertise will be invaluable in the development of Troy Smith and Tanner Marsh."
Higgins has spent 23 years in various CFL jobs, including a stint as GM in Edmonton.
A native of Woodbridge, N.J., and a former linebacker and defensive tackle, Higgins played for Calgary and Saskatchewan in the 1970s.
Popp replaced Rod Rust as coach at the end of the 2001 season, but gave way for Don Matthews the following season. He stepped in again when Matthews left for health reasons in 2006.
Marc Trestman, now coach of the Chicago Bears, coached the club from 2008-2012, winning two Grey Cups.

It's not a ridiculous question, actually, and the chances are better than you might think.
Especially if you're young. First, let me present a little bit of data before getting to the question of your odds to reach 100.
In the United States the average life expectancy for a woman born in 2010 is 81.0 years, and for a man it is 76.2 years (see full data). That's up about 25 percent from 1940. Life expectancy across the pond, in Great Britain, is a year or two higher. But this doesn't reflect the wide variance in data, some people die very young, and others die very old.
A new paper (see abstract) in the British Medical Journal offers some insights on both life expectancy, and our increasing chances to reach the century mark. John Appleby, chief economist of the King's Fund, notes the following in his article:
It is nearly a century since the British monarch started sending anniversary messages to "current citizens of [the monarch's] realms or UK Overseas Territories" who reached the age of 100. In 1917, King George V sent a total of 24 celebratory messages to centenarians. By 1952 this had increased more than 10-fold to 255, and in 2011, it had increased nearly 40-fold to 9,736.
Where will it end?
A good question. And for the time being, it does not seem to be ending any time soon. He points to data from the UK's Office of National Statistics, which reports on the percentage of people projected to live to their 100th birthday, for selected ages in 2012.
The table:
I am making an assumption, always dangerous but in this case I think it's fairly safe, that the table would be similar for the United States. So if you're a (very nearly) 40-year old male like myself, you've got a 16.1 percent chance of living to be 100.
Alternatively my daughters both have a better than one-in-three chance. Those aren't particularly bad odds considering they're roughly three times higher than those of their grandparents. Of course these are general estimates, and they will vary widely depending upon the quality and healthiness of one's lifestyle, as well as your genes.
There will be economic consequences of people living longer, but on the whole extending the lifetime of our species is a good thing. It may cause us to think a bit more about the long-term consequences of our actions in the near term.

CBS publishes right-wing serial-plagiarist's un-sourced gossip
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
On April 15, CBS News published an "opinion" article by serial-plagiarist and right-wing blogger Benjamin Domenech pushing unsubstantiated, un-sourced gossip about Solicitor General Elena Kagan's personal life that has now been flatly denied by the White House.
In 2006, Domenech was forced to resign as a writer for The Washington Post's website following revelations that he had engaged in repeated plagiarism.
Commenting at the time on the controversy, conservative blogger Rick Moran reportedly wrote that "Ben Domenech is not the kind of writer we want representing the conservative viewpoint at The Washington Post or anywhere else."
But that apparently didn't stop CBS from publishing Domenech's description of Kagan today. The article, which CBS says it "reprinted with permission" from Domenech's New Ledger website, states (emphasis added):
1. Elena Kagan (49), Solicitor General of the United States.
The likeliest candidate, and it was somewhat of a surprise she didn't get picked last time. Pluses: would please much of Obama's base, follows diversity politics of Sotomayor with first openly gay justice (so would Karlan and Sullivan). [Update: While Karlan and Sullivan are open about it, I have to correct my text here to say that Kagan is apparently still closeted -- odd, because her female partner is rather well known in Harvard circles.] Minuses: Seen as too moderate by some on the left; people like Arianna Huffington and Glenn Greenwald strongly dislike her because of her positions on executive power and anti-terror activities. Could be seen as a thumb in the eye of the civil liberties folks.
Later, CBS added an "editor's note" explaining that "a White House spokesperson said that Domenech reference to Ms. Kagan as gay is innaccurate [sic]."
So CBS sought "permission" to reprint an article in which the author claimed -- citing absolutely no evidence -- that a leading candidate for the Supreme Court is "openly gay."
But Kagan is not "openly gay." So CBS has also published Domenech's "update," in which he alleges that Kagan is "closeted" and asserts -- again, citing absolutely no evidence -- that Kagan has a "female partner" who is "rather well known in Harvard circles."
CBS apparently waited until hours after publishing the piece to attempt to find out whether any of this is true, and they've now been forced to acknowledge that the White House says it isn't.
On top of all this, the author of the piece is a discredited plagiarist whose past contributions to discussions of the federal judiciary apparently include declaring that judges who uphold abortion rights "are worse then [sic] the KKK."
Kagan's personal life is completely irrelevant to her job as solicitor general and her potential nomination to the Supreme Court. So why is CBS spreading gossip about it?

Tonight we write from the deep countryside of Dorset. We are staying in the little village of Milton Abbas with a cousin's cousin. We are both related to the Coley and Harris lines in Halesowen, England. Peter and Cynthia Wise have taken us in a day earlier due to the fact we are not going to Merthyr-Tydfil, Wales now. We will be with them two days.
Yesterday went terribly wrong. We left a little late from Walkden, got stuck in a traffic queue for 1.5 hours in Stockport meaning we had to drop our visit to Chatsworth House. Then we decided we better drop Mattersey and Misson on my Sharp family line to at least make Sudsbury Hall. We then found out the M1 was closed with miles of traffic queue so we had to take side roads to Nottingham. There we saw the Robin Hood sites and made our way to Sudsbury for their manor house. Well, all the side roads were occupied with motorway traffic so we were delayed, we got lost, and in the end missed the last time to get into the home. We got pictures with the house but Amanda was devastated we didn't get in.
In defeat, we made our way to Hagley, near Halesowen, near Birmingham last night. We checked into our little hotel and ran into Halesowen where we found the church of St. John the Baptism. Interestingly, as we wandered the cemetery, we found loads of Coley, Willetts, and Harris tombstones. Many were modern, but there were a few in which I am sure they are cousins I have in my family history file. That made it worth it. The other deceased I will have to do some research on to trace them back to the family and connect them in. Hopefully I can find another person who has done research on some of the same lines and can help me with my research. We shall see.
Today we toured Romsley, Hayley Green, and Bromsgrove near Halesowen, more sites of Coley ancestry. We wandered and took more pictures in St. Kenelm's church. There were more Coleys and Willetts found there. I was pretty excited. None as old as in the Halesowen church, but you never know. We hopped on the Motorway and went through Worcester, Gloucester, and finally to Bath. There we saw the Royal Crescent, some of the Victoria Gardens, and the Roman Baths. It is a beautiful city. We enjoyed ourselves. From there we wanded to Milton Abbas way out in the countryside. We drove several miles through one car-width lanes to this village.
We are still figuring out what we will do tomorrow. At any rate, it should be fun.

Said By Aron SchatzYet they keep revising the impact chances and they keep going down.
Said By ThomasApophis, a 20-million-tonne and 250-meter wide asteroid, has been found to be on a collision course with Earth, with the date of encounter being 13th April 2036. The risk of impact is 'only' 1 in 45,000, which remains quite significant on such a scale. International efforts should be made to try and avert a catastrophe.
Read more at The New Scientist.
Said By ThomasWe won't miss the Y2K38 bug, as it is planned for January, whereas the asteroid impact is forecast for April. So don't worry, my friend.

2038 != 2036.
Said By The Smoking GunHey all,
I have a question, if anyone is actually in the field, shouldn't we be more concerned about one of these hunkers crashing in to the sun and disrupting the balance of the nuclear reaction that maintains our fair planet? After all it is a much bigger target, with a much greater gravitational pull, which would make it a much more likely target, especially for the big ones out there, shoemaker-levy asteroid already proved that a large mass will affect the current trajectory, as well as the integrity of any large object out there!
Any thoughts on this concept?
Anyone else consider this possibility?
Said By ThomasActually, I am not sure if a global warming actually increases volcanic activity on Earth. This paper indicates that eruptions may mask the effect of climate change in the troposphere, but doesn't seem to establish any link between the two. Have you got any further information?
Said By MelizzyAliens do not exist (according to them)
Said By ThomasTo be honest, I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I've had this discussion with a friends who's adamant that the climate change is only natural and that only the political forces are trying to make us 'believe' that there's a human-caused global warming as an excuse for increased government regulation, more power, more control, bigger government agencies and etc.

Capturing Pokémon
Capturing Pokémon is the most important thing in the Pokémon Games. Without it you wouldn't be able to obtain any Pokémon other than your starter. In lamens terms, essentially what you need to do is weaken the Pokémon, pick a PokéBall and throw. However things are much more complicated than that when you get into the code. Of course, if you're using a Master Ball, none of this counts.
There are many deciding factors to the capture of the Pokémon. These include that Pokémon's Maximum HP, Current HP, Status Ailment and it's Catch Rate. The Pokémon's Catch Rate is a number between 0 and 255, the higher the better. You can see the Catch Rates for the Pokémon in our Pokédex.
The formula for determining the capture of the Pokémon is as follows:
CatchValue = ((( 3 * Max HP - 2 * HP ) * (Catch Rate * Ball Modifier ) / (3 * Max HP) ) * Status Modifier
The Capture Value for that is then put through another equation to determine whether or not the Pokémon is to be captured
Catch = 1048560 / √(√(16711680 / CatchValue)) = (220 - 24) / √(√((224 - 216) / CatchValue))
If CatchValue is 255, then capture is guaranteed. However, if not, then the second formula is taken into account. When you throw the Pokéball, and whenever the Pokéball shakes, a random number is generated and if the random number is greater than the value output through the above formula, then capture fails. If however, the random number is lower, then it will go to the next attempt and generate another random number. This is done for three shakes until the capture is complete.
Now the Maximum HP and Current HP of the Pokémon that you are about to catch are obviously not known by you, however that is what the colour coding is for and really the lower the hit points the better the chance
Status Ailments are a completely different amount however. Here is a small table stating the Values that each of the Status Ailments is given
Now this does have a major effect on the capture and could definately be the difference between capturing the Pokémon.
The final element of capturing Pokémon is the type of Pokéball that is used. Each of the Pokéballs either multiply or add to the figure before the final division of 256 is done in order to determine the final amount. Below are the Pokéballs and their effects and the amount they actually alter. The Pokéballs from Johto made from apricorns do not give boosts in the Ball Modifier, but rather the actual Capture Rate of the Pokémon, leading up to a maximum possible of 255. Click the Pokéball's icon or name to go to the ItemDex page for locations and more details
And thus with this you are able to make the calculation. What you should get will be a decimal number which is essentially a percentage. The higher the percentage, the more likely you are to capture it. If the number is above 1 then you should get the Pokémon immediately
Critical Capture
A totally new mechanic of capture is the Critical Capture. This feature works like Critical Hits in battle where there is a slight chance that this feature occurs. Critical Capture will be noticed when you throw the Pokéball. It'll make a metal noise, and in Generation V pause in mid-air briefly. When it hits the Pokémon, it will shake once and capture. This cuts two of the four random calculations out of the overal capture mechanic making it more likely to capture the Pokémon. However, it can still fail.
The calculation is done by a simple factor depending upon the amount of Pokémon species you have captured. It will run this calculation based upon the capture value calculated above and will then have another random number based upon the Pokémon you have captured.Critical Capture = floor((255,CatchValue) * Multiplier)
The multipliers are as follows;

12th to the 15th of Feb 1864: "Having been directed by the Lt. General Commanding, to report on the successful skirmish of yesterday...I moved rappidly {archaic spelling is retained as in the original entries} down to where our leading men were hotly engaged and pressed. They were commanded by Capt. Fisher 40 {40th Regiment} who had hastened here earlyer with a few men....
A sceries {sic} of hand to hand encounter(s) here took place... and our men, who displayed, if anything, to keen an eagerness to dash out and close with their lurking enemies, where ever visible...."
One captain, "In gallantly assisting a wounded soldier of the 40th, who had fallen into a hollow...became the target for a volley. At a few feet distance, 5 balls pierced his clothes...is slightly wounded in three places. Though hurt himself he continued to aid the wounded to the end of the day."
The account goes on to list those individuals of the '40th Regiment,' who were either killed or wounded during the skirmish.
Considering the dates, and the comments taken from the above diary, one would naturally assume, that the account describes details from a particular battle of the American Civil War, when in actuality it concerns an engagement during the 'Maori Wars,' sometimes known as the 'Anglo-Maori,' 'New Zealand' or the 'Land Wars,' a series of conflicts between the British settlers and the native inhabitants, or the 'MAORI,' which transpired between 1845 & 1872.
The 'Diary of a British Soldier, Queen's Redoubt,' is the anonymous account of a soldier of the British, '40th Regiment of Foot' or infantry, who fought on New Zealand's North Island, in 1863 & 1864, in what is known as the 'Invasion of Waikato.'
Interestingly, the unknown author of the diary, later immigrated to the United States, and appears to have enlisted in the American Army, since diary entries for the month of January, 1867-69, mention his residence during 'Reconstruction,' at Delta, Mississippi; at 'Bedloe's Island' NYH or 'New York Harbor,' (also known as 'Liberty Island' where the statue of Liberty is located), which was home to 'Fort Wood' or 'Star Fort.'
Interestingly, by 1869, he was stationed in Arizona Territory, at 'Camp V,' perhaps to fight the Apache Indians. 'Camp V,' appears to have been 'Fort Verde,' of the Verde Valley, originally known as 'Camp Lincoln,' created for the purpose of halting raids against settlers, carried out by the Tonto and Yavapai Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico. The military post was renamed, Fort Verde in November of 1868, and was in existence at least until 1873, and is now part of the current, 'Fort Verde State Historic Park' in Arizona.
The Diary of a British Soldier, Queens Redoubt, is a fascinating account of an 'unfamilar' War, which transpired between British colonists and the Native Maori tribes of New Zealand, during the 19th century. This anonymous work, went through a number of hands and places before eventually being donated to the Society in August of 1927. It had originally been "presented to Mr. Frank M. Hutchinson" in June of 1907 (see 'Inside left cover'), who was a Pennsylvania Democrat Delegate to the Democratic National Convention, from Pennsylvania in 1864, from the 22nd District.
Who the unknown British soldier was, how and why his diary became the property of a number of possible relatives, or unrelated persons, from Canada to Pennsylvania, is just one of the many mysteries, the diary intices the researcher to solve.
Such unpublished manuscript materials once again demonstrates, the diverse and varied records waiting to be transcribed, cataloged and made available to scholars and amateurs alike, for both their enjoyment, enrichment and education, here at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

As part of the continued development of the Ubuntu platform, the Content Hub has gained the ability to share links (and soon text) as a content type, just as it has been able to share images and other file-based content in the past. This allows applications to more easily, and more consistently, share things to a user's social media accounts.
Consolidating APIs
Thanks to the collaborative work going on between the Content Hub and the Ubuntu Webapps developers, it is now possible for remote websites to be packaged with local user scripts that provide deep integration with our platform services. One of the first to take advantage of this is the Facebook webapp, which while displaying remote content via a web browser wrapper, is also a Content Hub importer. This means that when you go to share an image from the Gallery app, the Facebook webapp is displayed as an optional sharing target for that image. If you select it, it will use the Facebook web interface to upload that image to your timeline, without having to go through the separate Friends API.
This work not only brings the social sharing user experience inline with the rest of the system's content sharing experience, it also provide a much simpler API for application developers to use for accomplishing the same thing. As a result, the Friends API is being deprecated in favor of the new Content Hub functionality.
What it means for App Devs
Because this is an API change, there are things that you as an app developer need to be aware of. First, though the API is being deprecated immediately, it is not being removed from the device images until after the release of 14.10, which will continue to support the ubuntu-sdk-14.04 framework which included the Friends API. The API will not be included in the final ubuntu-sdk-14.10 framework, or any new 14.10-dev frameworks after -dev2.
After the 14.10 release in October, when device images start to build for utopic+1, the ubuntu-sdk-14.04 framework will no longer be on the images. So if you haven't updated your Click package by then to use the ubuntu-sdk-14.10 framework, it won't be available to install on devices with the new image. If you are not using the Friends API, this would simply be a matter of changing your package metadata to the new framework version. For new apps, it will default to the newer version to begin with, so you shouldn't have to do anything.Read more

World Bank Vice President Rachel Kyte's Views on the Latest IPCC Assessment Report
This page in:
Reacting to Friday's launch of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Assessment Report, which confirms that it is extremely likely (95-100% probability) that most of the warming since 1950 has been due to human influence, World Bank's vice president for sustainable development, Rachel Kyte, writes in a blog that, "this report paints a blunt, clear picture of the scale of the problem before us. The key question now is what are we going to do about it." Read more

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (NNS) -- The Naval Academy Midshipman Action Group (MAG) collected 566 pairs of shoes, May 19, from the Class of 2017 to donate to Planet Aid.
Planet Aid is a nonprofit organization that collects and recycles used clothes and shoes and supports international development projects.
As the plebes prepared for the traditional Herndon climb marking the end of their plebe year, they took off their athletic shoes, leaving them behind in the grass as they charged the monument. Midshipmen from MAG - led by Midshipman 1st Class Emily Hughes - gathered the shoes, tying pairs together so they wouldn't get lost.
"I have been doing this project for the last three years with Planet Aid, and it's so easy to do because Plebes throw off their shoes to do the Herndon Climb," said Hughes. "Why not ask them to donate them?"
Community Relations Director Miriam Stanicic said that while the shoe drive has been going on for years, the partnership with Planet Aid is relatively new.
The mids bagged the shoes and transferred them to a van to take them to the local Planet Aid chapter.
The Midshipman Action Group was established in 1992 and is supported by the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation. MAG organizes more than 50 educational, environmental and social service volunteer projects on the local and national level, employing more than 500 midshipmen throughout the academic year.
During the 2013-14 academic year, the midshipmen contributed 25,000 hours of community service.

Northern Oklahoma College Launches Online Job Board
Northern Oklahoma College (NOC) recently announced the addition of a new online job board system as part of its student career services. Interested students and alumni are able to conduct full-time and part-time employment searches on a local and national basis.
"This service will help current and former NOC students in their career search," according to Steve Glazier, NOC director of counseling services.
Of specific interest to students, are the more than 1,000 career articles written by industry professionals to help guide students in their career pursuits.
In addition, the NOC online job board allows local employers the opportunity to conduct an extensive nationwide search to fill any job openings that may occur.
"It is increasingly important that business and industry leaders are able to fill every position with individuals that are able to compete in a global economy," Glazier said.
There is no fee for current or former NOC students to use this new service, nor is there any cost involved for local businesses.

Department of Public Safety Offers Driver License Renewal Notices by Email
Do you need a reminder when your driver license is about to expire? The Department of Public Safety has implemented a free email renewal notification system for Oklahomans holding driver licenses and identification cards.
"The desire to have the Department mail out renewal notices comes up almost every year during the legislative session," said David Beatty, Legislative and Special Projects Manager for the Department. "But to mail them includes a significant cost factor that can not be ignored."
Driver privacy mandates in federal and state law would require a renewal notice to be sent by first class mail, Beatty explained. The combined costs of envelopes, printed notice, and postage along with personnel to process the renewal notices would cost the Department at least $400,000 annually.
"When looking at other mailings the Department does, we estimate that up to 50% of these renewal notices could be returned because of an old address on file at the Department, even though state law requires licensees and card holders to notify the Department within 10 days of an address change," Beatty said. "All of that wasted postage is not an effective expenditure of taxpayer dollars."
Even though people move, changing their residence or mailing addresses, most people keep the same email address. "Unless you choose an email provider that has extremely limited service geographically, an email address can follow you almost anywhere," Beatty said. "A quick email reminder is going to be the most effective and cost-efficient way to jog someone's memory to go renew a driver license or identification card. And with a lean budget year for all state agencies, a method of doing that without any costs attached is even better."
Once a licensee or card holder signs up, a renewal notice will be sent to the email address 45 days prior to the expiration date provided. "If your email address changes, just sign-up again," Beatty said. "If we get a bounce or an error on an email, that email address will not receive any further notifications."

Number of Players: 2
Setup/Board Description: Square Grid (such as graph paper.) The Top and Bottom edges are owned by Player 1, and the Left and Right edges are owned by Player 2. Corners are shared.
Suggested Board Sizes and Play Times:
15 min - 11x11
30 min - 16x16
60 min - 22x22
Each player tries to connect their two edges of the board by drawing dots and connecting them together.
Each turn:
* A player draws a dot in ANY empty square on the board.
* Then the player connects it (draws a line) to all of their adjacent dots in the eight adjoining squares, unless it would cross an opponent's connection.
Win condition: A player connects their two edges of the board.
Pie rule (optional, this rule nullifies the 1st player's inherent advantage): After the first move is made, the second player has one of two options:
1) Letting the move stand, in which case the second player remains the second player and moves immediately, or
2) Switching places, in which case the second player becomes the first-moving player, and the "new" second player then makes their "first" move. (I.e., the game proceeds from the opening move already made, but with roles reversed.)
Now the puzzle:
In the following 7x7 n00b game, Red moved at d3, then Blue at b4, then Red at d5. So it's Blue's turn to move. Is there any way:
1a) Blue can stop red from forming a connection between d3 and d5?
1b) If not, where should have Blue moved instead of b4 on their last turn?
2) Can Blue stop Red from winning the game at this point (i.e., has Red already won)?

A. - C. These spokeshaves are beauties, and they will quickly become favorites as they are so easy to use. All three have been designed for smooth, effective, chatterfree shaping of chair spindles, panel edges, paddles and tool handles, or other shaping. The 1/8" thick blade, machined lever cap, and blade bed achieve chatterfree cutting in virtually all conditions. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with hardwood handles, shaped for comfort and control. The toe serves as a thumb rest, allowing the user to choke up on the body to attain exceptional control for fine work. Twin adjustment wheels quickly and accurately control cut depth and skew, and shims let you adjust the mouth opening as needed.
Our flat and round spokeshaves have a 2-1/8" wide blade and are suited to most kinds of woodworking. The round shave has a 1-3/4" radius. The concave spokeshave, with a 45° bed angle, a sole radius of 1-5/16", and a 1-1/2" wide blade, is popular with chair and paddle makers; it is the first choice for a wide range of jobs from small spindles to large oars.
Each spokeshave weighs about 12 oz. and is 10-1/2" long overall. Available with an A2, O1 or PM-V11® tool steel blade. Our regular flat, round and concave spokeshaves are available in sets that include our specially designed woven polyester tool roll. Click here for more information on the roll. Patented.
