Pair of Distance Golds for Team USA at Pan Am Juniors
Provided by USATF
MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA -- Khallifah Rosser and Scottie Hearns swept the medals in the men's 400m hurdles and Craig Engels and Matt McClintock added two more golds for Team USA Saturday night at the 17th Pan American Junior Championships at Alfonso Galvis Duque Stadium.
The U.S. leads the medal table with 20 total medals, eight of them gold. Canada is second with 10.
Running in the wake of a torrential downpour, Rosser and Hearns overcame an early deficit and gained ground steadily over the final three hurdles to overtake Brazil's Jucian Pereira on the run-in to take gold and silver. Rosser set a personal best with his 50.75, while Hearns was also under 51 seconds at 50.96.
Team captain Engels was up next in the men's 1500m, and he ran a masterful race, covering the final 400 in under 54 seconds to finish first at 3:53.12. Engels was content to run with the pack for the first three laps before turning on the speed with 300 to go and running away from Andre Thiago de Rosario of Brazil. Justin Brinkley placed ninth at 4:00.42.
In the final event of the night, McClintock showed a balance of tactical savvy and speed to come away with gold in the men's 10,000m. McClintock ran at the back of the pack much of the way and followed his pre-race plan to let the pace be dictated by others. As runners slowly dropped off the pace, McClintock was left in a group of five and with 600 to go he upped his tempo and started to pull away. Speeding down the final stretch, he opened up a gap of more than eight seconds to win at 31:12.39. Brandon Shemonia finished seventh at 32:22.75.
A bronze medal turned into silver for Olicia Williams in the women's 800m after the disqualification of Cuba's Sahily Diago Mesa. The Cuban drifted three lanes out and pushed Canada's Jenna Westaway even wider down the final straight before crossing the line first. The Canadian delegation protested the tactic and Westaway was awarded gold at 2:06.94, with Williams taking silver at 2:08.85. Claudia Saunders ended up sixth at 2:12.17.
It took a Colombian national record by Juan Carlos Moreno to beat Tony Brown in the men's 110m hurdles, eliciting rapturous cheers from the stands as the local athlete clocked 13.42 to 13.47 for Brown. Trey Holloway closed quickly after a very slow start to take fourth at 13.76.
Ana Holland and Riak Reese turned in a pair of fourth-place finishes in the 200m, with Holland matching her time from the semifinals at 23.61, and Reese again going faster than his pre-meet PR with a 21.01. Morolake Akinosun was fifth in the women's race at 23.76.
Another fourth-place finish came with a PR for Brianna Richardson in the women's triple jump. Richardson four times surpassed her previous best, topped by a 13.23m/43-5 third-round effort that added almost a foot to her PR.
Hannah Oneda made a decisive move late in the women's 5,000m to try and put away a pair of Peruvians and a Colombian, but couldn't hold the trio off as she finished fourth at 18:24.04. The race went out quite slowly before Oneda's surge, and Hetaria Palacios of Peru came away with the gold.
Wet conditions appeared to hamper the high jumpers across the board as the top five women cleared 1.76m/5-9.25. Americans Claire Kieffer-Wright and Rachel Proteau finished fourth and fifth on the countback.
In the men's 3,000m steeplechase Brendan Smith clung to the lead pack through the first half of the race but slowly fell back and finished sixth at 9:35.70. Tate Schienbein struggled with illness and was 10th.
Robert Smutsky placed 10th in the men's javelin with a best of 61.13m/200-6, two places ahead of Jay Stell's 58.56m/192-1. Decathletes Wolf Mahler and Devon Williams were both forced to withdraw during the competition due to injury.
Matt McClintock, men's 10,000m gold -- "It went exactly how I hoped. We strategized before to sit in the back of the back and let them take the wind and give myself the opportunity to win at this altitude. I had planned to maybe move with 1000m left, but I decided to go at 600 and it worked. This was surreal. I came out of high school wanting to win international championships and this has given me tremendous hope for the future. I have been going 75 miles a week to prepare for cross country and I am looking forward to November and the NCAA Championships."
Craig Engels, men's 1500m gold -- "That race was so awesome. I'm so happy I won and feel so blessed. I was expecting Justin (Brinkley) to beat me but I felt really good. I came in very prepared and I just went for it with 300 left. So pumped, so cool. The team elected me captain and I was embarrassed at first, but this is so cool to win an international title for Team USA."
Khallifah Rosser, men's 400m hurdles gold -- "(The Brazilian) made me want to chase him down the way he took off from the start. It was wet out there but I didn't let it affect me. I just kept thinking arms, arms, arms, keep it tight and finish fast. I only ran about 39 for the 300m hurdles in high school, but I like to take on challenges. I really didn't expect to do this well."
Scottie Hearns, men's 400m hurdles silver -- "I made a strong move at hurdle six, and all I could keep thinking was 1-2, 1-2 for the finish. That Brazilian guy kind of surprised me going out so hard. I never ran 400H in high school and I started off the event running like 52 to 54. It's a tough event to learn."
Olicia Williams, women's 800m silver -- "Going out I wanted to place myself in the front and go easy and hold on. Then I started thinking I gotta do this for my team and make the podium. It was kind of nerve-wracking, and I was more nervous than at the NCAA meet. The longest break I have taken all year was about a week. It's an honor to be here and I am VERY happy."
Riak Reese, men's 200m fourth place -- "I'm kind of upset to miss out on the medals but it will just make me work harder over the next year. I think I pushed a little too hard because I wanted it so badly. This has been the greatest experience of my whole track career. I always wanted to make a USA team, and I am looking to run fast at Kent State and make the NCAA final my freshman year."

06 Oct Give Yourself Credit – Motivation in BJJ
Motivation in BJJ will be the one attribute that sets you apart from the rest, the more hours you put in, the more confident you will be. Whether you are a white belt, or have been practicing BJJ for years; you need to give yourself credit for taking the initiative to step foot into your academy. Jiu-jitsu may be one of the most challenging (and rewarding) sports. Everyone has a different journey, and we all move through the ranks at a different pace. We are all unique.
The art of jiu-jitsu requires mental and physical strength, perseverance, patience, determination and the ability to leave all your worries at the door. Once you step on the mats, your only concern is to learn and evolve.
If your team mate gets promoted before you, that's OKAY, they may have spent 10 hours a week training, meanwhile you are lucky to get to one class. Injuries can be a set back, life happens. Just never lose sight of why you starting BJJ, and especially why you love it.
There is undeniable beauty in the concept of being a part of something that truly is for everyone. Ages 4-100, you are welcome to practice and respected by your peers and team mates, regardless of size, gender, race, religion, income level, athleticism (or lack of), disability, sexual orientation. The one thing that WILL give you a disadvantage is a negative I-know-everything-look-at-me attitude. We can all see through that. Oh, and being good looking will not make you better at jiu-jitsu.
It's Your Time to Shine
Once that motivation in BJJ starts to shine, the rest will come. Train often, listen with your mind and your heart, and commit yourself wholly. Warm ups and drilling are equally as important as technique, and roll any chance you can. Don't forget to give yourself credit for being a good training partner. In retrospect; give your partners the equal credit and respect they deserve. At the end of the day they are equally responsible for your progress.
Children who train BJJ have this pure innocence each time they show up for class, expecting to learn something new and opening their mind to the teachings. We can all benefit from thinking like a child; fearless, focused, and the simple notion of having fun in class. Find the Motivation in BJJ, and never lose sight of your goals.

Jolt Awards 2015: Coding Tools, December 16, 2014 The best tools available for creating, testing, and debugging code.
Productivity Award: IntelliJ IDEA 14
Java 8 added numerous features to the language, including support for lambda expressions. To say that developers find all but the simplest Java lambdas complex to use would be a fair assessment. To their aid rides IntelliJ IDEA 14, which updated both the Evaluate Expression and Watches features to evaluate lambda expressions and anonymous classes.
The addition of this feature follows a predictable formula: Whenever there is something new in the Java world, IntelliJ IDEA enhances its existing capabilities to make developers productive with the new language features.
But the improvements are not confined to language-driven enhancements. Even basic capabilities are revved between releases. For example, the new built-in decompiler for Java classes makes it easy to look inside libraries without the source code. In addition, when stepping through code in the debugger, the value of variables now are show in light gray text right beside the variable in the debugging window. There's no need to find the variable in a separate window! The support for high-DPI displays makes the text crisp and clear.
IntelliJ IDEA 14 supports many other programming languages and it includes numerous plug-ins to extend its excellent features to popular and growing development stacks, such as Node.js and Express, and Scala and Play.
The IDE also added support for Apache Cordova and the new Google devices included in Android Studio, such as Android Wear devices. IntelliJ IDEA 14 makes it easy for Java developers, who are big fans of the IDE, to work on other programming languages and development stacks that are becoming increasingly popular. However, as happened in previous versions, you will have to spend some time tinkering to fully understand how to take advantage of all the power of the IDE because the documentation has yet to show significant improvements.
Other than that one complaint, IntelliJ IDEA is the IDE to use for Java or any JVM language. There really is no alternative that comes close to IDEA's elegance and feature set.

Editor's note: "Matters of faith" is a column that provides local religious leaders a place to write about how their respective faiths provide hope, courage and strength in these modern times.
I have suggested in previous articles that I am lover of words, a real logophile, which is a legitimate word even though it is not recognized by my spell check. It comes from the Greek word logos, which means word or speech, and phile, which means friend or lover.
I have to admit, one of my favorite apps is a dictionary that gives me a word for the day; some are fairly common, a few obscure and interesting, and some just obscure. After a discussion a few weeks ago, I proposed a question to myself: What do you call gossip on Facebook or other social media? Would there be some new high-tech term to describe this arguably ancient practice?
I understand the politically correct description is "the transmission of near factual information," but is that an accurate enough definition to do gossip in the information age? This human failing is obviously a concern because it's in God's top ten list — usually referred to as the Ten Commandments. In Exodus 20:16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor."
OK, I know it's clear down the list as number nine, and you could say it refers to court proceedings given the reference to the word testimony. But I think that may come under the heading of avoidance. Even if you are not convinced the verse refers to gossip, I would remind you that the word gossip does not appear in the King James Version. The word is usually translated as "talebearer" and without going to far into the Hebrew, it comes from a word that refers to a traveling scandal-monger.
While social media travels, it still may be missing something in translation, so it may not be a good fit. A quick study reveals that that talebearer is replaced by gossip in the modern translations, but it is never seen in a positive light, in fact it always does damage.
In Proverbs gossip betrays confidences, stirs up dissension, and keeps arguments going and going, kind of like a bad energizer bunny. Proverbs also reminds us that gossip goes down easily. It is described as a "choice morsel"; a little truth mixed in makes the gossip even more appealing, but it is certainly not required. In fact, truth may get in the way of a perfectly good rumor.
In the New Testament, Paul wrote to the churches at Corinth that he was afraid when he came back to visit them he would find significant problems. He included gossip among some other related behaviors like quarreling, jealousy, factions, and disorder.
I am afraid my scriptural research did not bring me any closer to a word to describe electronic age gossip, but it did reinforce the problems associated with it. I was reading in the technology section of a weekly magazine about three apps that provide the ability to post comments about anyone anonymously. You can say anything you want about anyone you want without email or password. Surprise, it opened a whole new avenue for the spread of damaging misinformation.
Perhaps the best way to describe electronic gossip is simply fast gossip. In Paul's day and for centuries after, gossip had to go from "house to house." Now it can be done by simply pressing "Enter."

Robert Seymour Bridges
Biography of Robert Seymour Bridges
Robert Seymour Bridges was an English poet noted for his technical mastery of prosody and for his sponsorship of the poetry of his friend Gerard Manley Hopkins. Born into a prosperous family, Bridges went to Eton College and then to Oxford, where he met Hopkins. His edition of Hopkins' poetry that appeared in 1916 rescued it from obscurity. From 1869 until 1882 Bridges worked as a medical student and physician in London hospitals. In 1884 he married Mary Monica Waterhouse, and he spent the rest of his life in virtually unbroken domestic seclusion, first at Yattendon, Berkshire, then at Boar's Hill, devoting himself almost religiously to poetry, contemplation, and the study of prosody. Although he published several long poems and poetic dramas, his reputation rests upon the lyrics collected in Shorter Poems (1890, 1894). New Verse (1925) contains experiments using a metre based on syllables rather than accents. He used this form for his long philosophical poem The Testament of Beauty, published on his 85th birthday. Bridges was poet laureate from 1913 until his death in 1930.

Robert Seymour Bridges Poems
I Will Not Let Thee Go
I will not let thee go. Ends all our month-long love in this? Can it be summed up so, Quit in a single kiss?
London Snow
When men were all asleep the snow came flying, In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
So Sweet Love Seemed That April Morn
So sweet love seemed that April morn, When first we kissed beside the thorn, So strangely sweet, it was not strange We thought that love could never change.
My Delight And Thy Delight
My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In the gardens of the night:
Awake, My Heart
Awake, my heart, to be loved, awake, awake! The darkness silvers away, the morn doth break, It leaps in the sky: unrisen lustres slake
In Autumn Moonlight, When The White Air ...
In autumn moonlight, when the white air wan Is fragrant in the wake of summer hence, 'Tis sweet to sit entranced, and muse thereon In melancholy and godlike indolence:
From 'The Testament Of Beauty'
'Twas at that hour of beauty when the setting sun squandereth his cloudy bed with rosy hues, to flood his lov'd works as in turn he biddeth them Good-night; and all the towers and temples and mansions of men
Spring Goeth All In White
Spring goeth all in white, Crowned with milk-white may: In fleecy flocks of light O'er heaven the white clouds stray:
The sickness of desire, that in dark days Looks on the imagination of despair, Forgetteth man, and stinteth God his praise; Nor but in sleep findeth a cure for care.
Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye come, And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams, wherefrom Ye learn your song: Where are those starry woods? O might I wander there,
I Shall Never Love The Snow Again
I never shall love the snow again Since Maurice died: With corniced drift it blocked the lane, And sheeted in a desolate plain
A Passer-By
Whither, O splendid ship, thy white sails crowding, Leaning across the bosom of the urgent West, That fearest nor sea rising, nor sky clouding, Whither away, fair rover, and what thy quest?
While Yet We Wait For Spring
While yet we wait for spring, and from the dry And blackening east that so embitters March, Well-housed must watch grey fields and meadows parch, And driven dust and withering snowflake fly;
When my love was away, Full three days were not sped, I caught my fancy astray Thinking if she were dead,

A Passer-By
Whither, O splendid ship, thy white sails crowding,
Leaning across the bosom of the urgent West,
That fearest nor sea rising, nor sky clouding,
Whither away, fair rover, and what thy quest?
Ah! soon, when Winter has all our vales opprest,
When skies are cold and misty, and hail is hurling,
Wilt thoù glìde on the blue Pacific, or rest
In a summer haven asleep, thy white sails furling.

Hola! My name is Natalia and I am currently doing a masters in Climate change and international development.

The university provides many services that support student throughout their time at UEA, they understand that being away from home can sometimes be difficult and want to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, want to help build a home away from home.

So far, I have made lifelong friends whom I have shared great experiences with, I have also learned so much from amazing professors who are always available to help and none of these things would have been possible if I hadn't come to UEA. The university has excelled my expectations and I am sure it will do the same for you!

Author: Myra Rego
Publications: FANEWS
Date Published: 19 May 2015
Intermediaries are governed by the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act which governs their actions and regulates the way in which advice is given to a client. While this act has been a welcome addition to the industry, some intermediaries have been taking a significant beating by the Act.
This was yet again, the issue in the recent determination by the FAIS Ombudsman (FAIS Ombud). The case was between Daphne Auret Foster (hereafter referred to as the complainant), Vaidro Investments (hereafter referred to as the first respondent) and Andrea Moolman (hereafter referred to as the second respondent).
Facing stumbling blocks
In 2011, the complainant invested a combined total of R800 000 in a Relative Value Arbitrage Fund (RVAF). To make up R800 000, the first payment of R150 000 was made in February, followed by a payment of R550 000 in June and lastly, R100 000 in November.
The fund was managed and operated as a hedge fund – by one Herman Pretorius, (now deceased) – with no license of its own.
The investments were made in consequence of the recommendation and advice of the second respondent, who acted as the complainant's financial adviser. The complainant states that the purpose of the investment was two-fold, namely capital growth for an imminent retirement, as well as the access to additional cash in the event of Mr Foster's passing.
The complainant was advised that the RVAF would be less risky than investing in the JSE, in that the risks were better managed. In this regard, the complainant was advised that whilst the returns in good time would be less, conversely the returns during a downturn would not be as bad. In this respect, the complainant was advised and shown records indicating not only that the fund had shown good performance over a long period but that it even showed a positive return over the stock exchange crash of 2008.
Accordingly, the complainant, when asked by the Office what needs analysis was conducted by the respondent, replied that this was not necessary as the couple had other investments for their pension. Furthermore, the complainant advised that she was also offered another hedge fund; however, the respondent advised her that the RVAF was more secure and suitable to her requirements. The investment comprised all of complainant's investable capital but constituted 15% of the couples total retirement savings.
The complainant blames the respondent for poor advice and the loss of her investment of R800 000. It was expected that the funds were to be invested and trade in the top 40 companies on the JSE and that certain measures would be in place to manage risk. Accordingly, the complainant states that the investment was misrepresented being in fact a Ponzi or fraudulent scheme and the complainant holds the respondents accountable.
A painted canvas
The FAIS Ombud invited the respondent to respond to the complaint. The respondent stated that the complainant's husband wanted to invest in the RVAF, but wanted to do so in his wife's name (the complainant) for tax purposes. The husband wished to meet with Herman Pretorius in order to ask several questions.
According to the respondent, the husband advised that he is well informed and knowledgeable regarding trading shares and that he himself in his own capacity trades Satrix top 402 and hence understood that the investment made use of a partnership agreement. No Financial Needs Analysis (FNA) was conducted as this was treated as a single need. The complainant required nothing more as he is already well invested for retirement.
The record of advice evidences that the complainant was warned by the respondent about the high risks of the product.
The respondent only provided factual information on hedge funds and did not provide advice. The respondent advised that Herman Pretorius explained the strategies and how the risk was managed. She stated that by having reasonable knowledge of Hedge Funds, she concluded that the strategy, as explained to her, was a suitable investment for the client. The respondent contended that she was satisfied that persons investing in the fund were fully appreciative and aware of the risks involved.
What is not in dispute, is that the complainant sought guidance from a licensed financial adviser; namely the respondent. In so doing, the respondent had a duty to ensure that the advice that was provided was correct and appropriate for the complainant's circumstances. Other than taking an interest in his own financial affairs, there is no evidence that the complainant's husband possessed any particular investment knowledge or experience. Had the complainant's husband been the experienced investor the respondent makes him out to be, he would have certainly steered clear of RVAF.
Immeasurable accountability
The inescapable conclusion is that the respondent knew nothing about the fund or its underlying investment and was in no position to advise her clients to invest in it.
No sensible person having been given the correct material information or advice would have invested in RVAF. Nothing in the records explains why it was necessary to take such a risk with a substantial portion of the complainant's capital.
The issue determined is that the respondent failed to act honestly, with care and diligence. The complaint is upheld and the respondents are ordered, jointly and severally, the one paying the other to be absolved, to pay to complainant the amount of R800 000.
Editor's Thoughts:
We need to be honest and also admit that poor advice is also a major contributor in some of the FAIS determinations – it is such a pity that some "bad apples" give the industry a bad name and thus give professional advisers a harder time with selling and compliance with regulation.

We moved Latesha closer to the house, into a pen that has water laid on and a decent shelter and a floor above the ground if it rains. We thought that she may have been a little bit protective, as sows can be quite agressive if someone comes between her and her babies. Not Latesha. We loaded the 3 little pigs (sounds like a good title to a rhyme!) into a carry box on the quad and thought she'd either follow or we might have to lead her up with a bucket of feed. Well, she was so happy to be out and able to eat some fresh grass, roll in her favourite mud wallow, eat some more fresh grass, have another roll and just generally enjoy being unconfined for a little while. She obviously trusted us completely to look after her little ones. In the end, when we couldn't persaude her to follow us, even with us holding onto the piglets so that they would squeal, we left her and put the piglets in their new home. An hour or so later, she waddles up to the shed and you could almost understand her pig talk, mumbling "well, I suppose you better show me where they are". Have a look at the photos of them if you like.
Trust is an interesting thing when you consider it in relation to farm animals. Latesha trusted us to look after her piglets, which makes it a little uncomfortable to think about the fact that one day we will take them off her for good to wean them, and then eventually when they are big enough, we will take them away to be slaughtered. But, that is just part of eating meat. If we want to eat meat, we must kill the animal first. One of the advantages in raising meat like this, is that at least you know that they have been raised humanely and in a healthy environment. This is what farm friendly food is all about - healthy nutritious food, and where there is a connection between the farmer and the consumer. I like to know where my food has been grown and I think that the more people that want to know this too, then we will see a shift in the way food is grown and produced.

I've said before and it helps me to repeat it that I don't really understand Kaufman's films but that they do understand me. Kaufman is the most important, innovative voice in American cinema since Orson Welles, and though he has enjoyed more autonomy in expressing that voice than Welles, I would argue that the seven years separating his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, and this follow-up, a stop-motion collaboration with Duke Johnson called Anomalisa, suggest that it's not as easy as it should be. Certainly the journey that Anomalisa has taken is far from conventional, from Kaufman play written under the pseudonym "Francis Fregosi," through a Kickstarter campaign, through the general challenge of making an adult-themed animation in a country that sees animation as a genre not a medium, to now this tour of festivals, looking for distribution. The play was introduced as part of a Carter Burwell project titled "Theater of the New Ear". It was a late replacement on a Kaufman/Coen Bros. double-bill when the Coens "dropped out"...

In relating its tale of screenwriter Kaufman's existential wrestle with adapting Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief, the picture takes on a tangle of Lacanian meta-observation that begins with the nervy creation of a Kaufman-doppelgänger/id-projection and ends with a literal destruction of said phantom. A deceptively simple film given all its contortions and acrobatics, Adaptation. is concerned with the ways in which a man doubts himself, doubts his relationships (as well as the implicit lie of the social "professional smile"), and learns almost too late the damnably difficult (for the intelligent and the sensitive) ability to accept the simple and the obvious at face value.

It's the first time most of us conceptualized the idea of Charlie Kaufman, in fact--the moment that any follow-up became a cause célèbre. It's silly, really, to bother trying to synopsize the film, but for the uninitiated, it's about a failed puppeteer's discovery of a portal behind a file cabinet on the low-ceilinged floor of an office designed for the dwarf wife of a sea captain. ("Curs-ed t'ing," he calls her.) The portal leads, of course, to the inside of John Malkovich's skull for around fifteen minutes before expelling the interloper to the side of the New Jersey Turnpike. Looking here, it's possible to begin to trace Kaufman's auteur obsessions with interiors, with language (in a job interview hinged on malaproprisms and miscommunications), with doubling, identity, surrealism, systems of belief, and, sneakily, science-fiction.

October 26, 2008 | I meet Charlie Kaufman in a dark little passage beneath Denver's Hotel Monaco, both of us surveying a spread of cold-cuts and a nice salad of greens and gorgonzola on the final day of a gruelling month-long junket in support of Kaufman's new film and hyphenate debut, Synecdoche, New York. His first interview of the day following a late-night, (packed) post-screening Q&A at the University of Colorado, I confided in Kaufman that I'd been vying for a chance to speak with him for over four years now after being thwarted at a junket for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind--an experience I documented in an essay that developed a fun second life, probably got one of my local publicists fired, and doomed me to never getting offered another junket again. Mr. Kaufman asked me what it was like. I said it was like being a bug buoyed on the back of an ant colony and finally expelled not for smelling bad, but for smelling bad in the wrong way. We'd come back to this a few minutes later. Reports of Mr. Kaufman's hermetic nervousness have been greatly...

During that same period, Farber referred to Preston Sturges as a filmmaker working eternally within "the presence of Dada and surrealism"--and it's taken over fifty years, it seems, for the United States to produce what is at its essence the product of a marriage between Welles's self-conscious audacity and Sturges's common touch: Charlie Kaufman--more specifically, the Charlie Kaufman Screenplay.

Curiously, both films find a climax of sorts in a dream--I should say "dementia"--sequence wherein the stars of the show find their fantasies acted out through their small-screen vehicles. Where Bob Crane's bizarre personal life appears to be truth, however (the crux of familial challenges of the film seem to hinge on Crane not being moody and never having had a penile implant), Barris's contention that he split time between "The Gong Show" and being a fulltime CIA assassin gives considerably more pause. The real distinguishing quality of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is that it is a big-budget biopic that acts as simultaneously a satire of, and adherent to, the familiar progression of the genre--the...

With twenty-one years left until the post-industrial wasteland of Blade Runner's City of Angels, everything appears to be coming along nicely. A pair of spotlights shot into the air most likely to announce the new Sizzler on Rodeo, but I imagined it was to herald one of those old newsreel, fur coat and spat premieres, right behind the barber college, maybe, that sits at the corner of Hollywood and Vine. Shoehorned into a coach seat over the wing of one of those airplanes that seats about a hundred people, I quaffed my Pepsi with the quick rabbit-swallows necessitated by the tiny plastic cup they offer to the undesirables, and thought about the wisdom of Focus Features deciding to fly me from Denver to The Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to attend the junket for Charlie Kaufman's bittersweet Eternal Sunshine...

I don't feel up to writing about Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York (hereafter Synecdoche), because, as with something like Mulholland Drive, it's in the writing about it that one is bound to discover one has said altogether too much about oneself and altogether not enough about the film. The picture is a lot like Nietzsche's abyss, you know: the more it's examined, the more it's a dissection of the critic's own fears and prejudices. There's a scene early on where theatre director Caden (Philip Seymour Hoffman--cast because he's fabulous, and maybe because "Hoffman" incidentally rhymes with "Kaufman") sits by himself on the floor next to a telephone and we notice more than he does that there are a couple of strange boils growing on his leg. It's just something Caden lives with, and this visual comes sandwiched in the middle of an extended, uncomfortable sequence that begins with a gash to the forehead (and a glimpse into Caden's vanity when he's told it will scar), progresses through gum surgery and the revelation that Caden's contracted a...

When Synecdoche, New York premiered at Cannes, I remember being annoyed by how feeble the critical coverage on it was. But I get it now. This is a film I'm hard-pressed to describe, let alone review in depth, after just a single viewing. I can say that I see why Kaufman kept this one for himself rather than entrusting it to Spike Jonze or Michel Gondry—it's so dense and cryptic that it would be nigh uninterpretable by anyone but the source. Kaufman is a pretty meat-and-potatoes director, all things considered, but there are so many idiosyncrasies built into the material that it's stylish by default. The film itself suggests an X-ray of a self-loathing artist's soul (he wrote without any intention of qualifying it). A miserable theatre director (Philip Seymour Hoffman) receives the MacArthur Genius Grant and what he does with it transcends mere navel-gazing: he erects an exact replica of his life in a cavernous warehouse, eventually hiring actors to shadow him and his inner circle.

Comedy Open Mic - Hosted by Skippy Sprinkles
Hosted by Skippy Sprinkles- always different line-up of comedians hand-picked from the Pacific Northwest comedy scene–as well as occasional headliner, feature and opening comics who may be honing new material or preparing for a TV performance. It's always a great show, and FREE before 8:30pm after 8:30pm it $5 to get in. Each show is a hilarious mix of professionals working on new material, amateur comedians working on their chops, and first-timers being thrown in the mix.
How do I sign up?
Anyone interested in performing on Open Mic night sign-ups the night of the show at 7:30pm. Preference is given to people that bring people for the audience. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
If you are a comic visiting from out of town, please email us and we will try to make room for you. All performers must be aged 18 or older.
What if I'm not chosen to be on the show?
We do our best to give everyone an opportunity to perform but we can't always squeeze everyone on to the show because of high demand. If you are not selected to perform, we have a standby list and your name will be added. We will call names in the showroom from the standby until the show is over. Be persistent and patient (and nice) and we are trying to give everyone an opportunity to take the stage. If you're not selected, please stay for the standby list and support the show anyway. Your support of the other open mic performers is noticed and appreciated and won't hurt your chances to be selected for a future open mic.
*A certain number of open mic slots are made available to touring professional comedians. If you are wondering whether or not you're a touring professional, you're probably not a touring professional. (Keep working hard and you'll get there though)
All scheduled performers get 4 minutes on stage. Please stick to your time. Respect the time, audience, and other comedians.
Please stay out of the staff's way as they are very busy. Stay clear of the aisles. Also, you should order from a server and tip them. It's the right thing to do and good karma.
Open Mic is used as a starting ground for many comics, as well as a place to practice new material for veteran comedians. Some jokes may kill, others may bomb, but it's always a good time. Be sure to support those appearing on stage; it's not as easy as you think! Sit down and watch the show from an empty seat in the showroom. You never know...you might learn something!

Transformers - Reveal the Shield - Solar Storm Grappel
It became clear that my local TJ Maxx wasn't going to come through with the rare, wave ending Voyager figures from the
Reveal the Shield
line, but some research on line proved that Marshall's was the place to be! As such, on a recent out-of-state drive I had the good fortune to pass by such an establishment, and was more than happy to pillage their nearly-complete selection of said voyager figures!
In particular, I was excited to find "Solar Storm Grappel" (note the spelling) - a good looking figure with a sad bio that I was delighted to add to the Preserve. The figure has a special history with me as well, as Grapple was the only G1 figure that I didn't originally get in my youthful collecting days with my Dad. My reasoning then, however flawed, was that he was a repaint of Inferno, and I instructed my Dad to skip him over. By the time I came to my senses, that wave was off of store shelves and in the misty past it wasn't so easy to track down any retail product that has ever been conceived and sold. As such, it was many years later (and not a very concerted effort on my part, more of an itch in the back of my brain) when I was first learning about the Internet and spending time on the Transformers 'message boards' (ca. 1993 - a year much closer to the actual production of G1 Grapple than it is to today...yikes) when I had my next chance.
A mega-collector blew out his collection one week, and I picked up several great figures, like a boxed 1984 Prime, a spare boxed Prowl and Cyclonus, and yes a beautiful boxed Grapple. Prices at the time seemed a tad steep, though in retrospect they were rock bottom, given some of the market changes that have taken place. Solar Storm Grappel here represents a much shorter hunt, but I'm glad to have been able to add him to the Preserve through good old fashioned store-hopping, and not an aftermarket device. In some ways, it's closure to a decades long oversight, and how often do we ever get those?

July saw 47 young people spend three weeks exploring the Holy Land on JLGB's biggest ever Israel Tour. The 16 year olds took part in a three phase programme that follows a journey of past, present and future Israel. The tour enabled them to understand and appreciate Israel as a historical land through trips to sites of cultural significance such as the Western Wall, Masada and the city of Tzfat.
Through volunteering projects such as painting a school in Sderot and meeting minority community members, the group were able to explore the social, economic and political issues of Israeli society. Discovering the future of Israel, the teens went to Google Corporate Office, and then took part in a start-up iPad treasure hunt which gave them the opportunity to appreciate Israel's technological innovation prowess.
Alongside the cultural and educational aspects of the trip, the group also took part in a range of exhilarating activities ranging from camel riding through the desert, rafting down the Jordan river and abseiling into the Ramon Crater. Evening highlights included a night spent under the stars in the desert, a light photography workshop and a night in a Bedouin tent.
This really is a once in a lifetime trip to experience Israel through the eyes of a 16-year-old Israeli, as well as being a fantastic opportunity for personal growth and making lifelong friendships.
You can now register your interest in Israel Tour 2017 at www.jlgb.org/israel. Please be aware that financial assistance is available.
Francesca Goga, 2016 JLGB Israel Tour Participant said;
"Going on tour with JLGB was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had an absolutely incredible and enlightening experience, that will forever be with me. It's an opportunity to learn, grow and appreciate the history and the future of the country, not to mention making your own memories there and the lifelong friendships."
Zachary Igielman, 2016 JLGB Israel Tour Participant;
"As a non-JLGB member, I booked the tour almost knowing no one, purely because I wanted to meet new people, heard great things about JLGB and was desperate to go on an Israel Tour. By being added to groups on social media, and through having a few days to meet everyone in the UK helped me to make friends and feel a part of it. By the second night in Israel, I had developed confidence and friendships that made me feel part of the tour group, partly because we were having to be resourceful with our lack of facilities in our night sleeping out in the desert! Every visit taught us new things and brought us closer together. The spirituality of Tzfat and Jerusalem developed my Jewish spiritual identity, whilst experiencing the Tel Aviv start up scene helped me understand what it was like to live in a world leading country in the middle of instability, and helped me think about moving out there one day. From kayaking the Jordan river to debating philosophy, singing and dancing on Shabbat, I had the most amazing experience of my life which developed my spirituality, confidence, friendships, association with Jews and Israel, and plans for the future. JLGB Israel Tour is the best thing you can do, don't miss out. And if you're like me, you'll end up sucked into the joyful world of JLGB (mostly singing), and won't want to miss a single camp after tour! So get booking and have the time of your life!"

I put in about 9 hours playing in the ARRL RTTY RU this last weekend. It was a lot of fun. The results:
40M: 103 QSOs, 29 states/provinces, 5 countries
20M: 16 QSOs, 7 states/provinces, 1 country
I spent a lot of time at the beginning trying to get my 500 Hz filter in the FT-857D working with RTTY. Although I did get things working during the previous Thursday night's NCCC practice, I just used the standard 2.1 KHz filter. That really, really, didn't work during the RU. Strong signals within the wide passband would cause the AGC to kick in and the signal I was trying to copy would go away. I suppose I could have played around with disabling the AGC and riding the RF gain, but it seemed to make more sense to just use the 500 Hz IF filter.
The problem I had was that the passband of the 500 hz filter seems to be centered around 800 hz (a typical CW sidetone/beat frequency), even if you're in LSB or DIG mode. However, MMTTY sends a default mark tone of 2125 Hz. So the filter wasn't passing the frequencies the demodulator was looking for. I was able to change the mark frequency in MMTTY to 915 hz which was within the narrow passband, and I was able to decode signals with no problem, even with W6YX hammering away a few KHz away.
However, once I made that change, I couldn't work anyone, not even local stations that really should be hearing me. I was definitely putting power to the antenna, and I could hear myself on a portable shortwave receiver, but no QSOs.
I finally reconfigured MMTTY to use the other sound card in my computer for output, so I could listen to it, and I discovered that, although I'd changed the receive mark tone to 915 Hz, MMTTY was still transmitting with a 2125 KHz mark tone (see - my music degree comes in handy from time to time!). No wonder I wasn't making any contacts. No matter what I set the frequency to in the MMTTY preferences, the transmit tone didn't change.
What I didn't realize is that I needed to also set the HAM default setting values (directly below the receive settings) - those set the transmit values. As it turns out, I tried clicking on the NET button during the contest, and that solved my problem, since it locks the transmit frequency to the receive frequency. The names of those functions (HAM, NET) don't make much sense to me, but I'm a RTTY noob.
On the RF side, I continue to be impressed with how well my tree-mounted wire vertical works. Of course, I am only able to compare it to my G5RVjr, but I made a lot of S&P contacts on my first call, and worked some JAs and China with no problem. In terms of performance/cost, I'm happy.
On another note, NCCC member Ed Muns, W0YK went to Aruba and operated P49X for the RTTY RU. Ed made - get this - 3,214 contacts in 24 hours. The mind boggles...

Leo Burnett Tailor Made Wins Two Effies
Leo Burnett Tailor Made Brazil was honored with two Effie Awards this week. The agency took Gold for the "My blood is red and Black" effort for the Vitória football club and Silver for P&G Ace "Grubby Bra."
The Vitória campaign was a partnership between Pentaly, Hemoba and the Secretary of Health in the Brazilian state of Bahia. The effort encouraged blood donation by having the football club eschewing their classic red and black uniform. The case can be viewed here.
P&G Ace "Grubby Bra" was the first chapter in the "Vila Branca" saga, a soap opera series comprised of more than 20 films that sought to answer the mystery of a dingy undergarment. The campaign helped Ace become the second largest laundry brand in the country. Check out the case here.

Moroccan Franc
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Moroccan Franc
The former currency of Morocco. It was introduced in French Morocco in 1921, and became the currency of the independent Morocco in 1957. The Moroccan dirham was introduced in 1960, but the franc remained as a subdivision of the dirham until the santim replaced it in 1974.
