89% Footnote

It speaks to anyone who's been on either end of a grudge or family antagonism. And it saves its best for those who have witnessed clusters of the best and brightest descend to the level of grade school kids on the playground.

It's not easy to make Eliezer a sympathetic character, yet Bar-Aba's demonstration of fleeting vulnerability awakens inevitable, if equally brief, compassion.

Its energy and eccentricity assert themselves in funky graphics, imaginative camerawork and everyday moments of awkwardness and absurdity.

The film was a nominee for this year's foreign-language Oscar, and Cedar has a real grasp of how to create conflict and generate tension.

Writer/director Joseph Cedar is wise to the comedy of frustration and alert to the tragedy of hubris.

Writer and director Cedar does a great job of ratcheting up the tension by filtering the story through a simmering family rivalry.

A first half frivolous enough that it's not as ghastly sentimental as it seems like it could be, and with a second half brittle enough that it's not as frivolous as it was when it started out.

While the premise delves into an alien landscape for most viewers not immersed in Talmudic study in Jerusalem, the universal feeling of familial irritation and begrudging respect shines right through.

"Footnote" gets sly, subtle comedy from the similarities between the two men, particularly since Uriel is unaware how much like his dad he is.

To many viewers the picture might seem as forbidding as a dense scholarly tome. But give it a chance, and you might find it as pleasurable as a good novella.

Largely concerned with the prickliness and delicacy around legacy, and the attendant patrilineal complications...But it's as much about the egotism and dysfunction of academia, reflected in the complex personalities of Eliezer and Uriel.

Footnote finally gets back on track as Eliezer puts his philological skills to use, but it's too little, too late.

[A]cademic research has never been shown with such visual verve. . . [E]ach professor's personality and expertise [is put] in sharp relief both comic and poignant.

Eliezer's facial expressions consist of 'constipated' and 'slightly less constipated.'

Consumers tap savings, credit to boost spending

By John W. Schoen, Senior Producer

The daffodils are up, the job and housing markets are improving, businesses are more upbeat and consumers are getting back in a spending mood.

Unfortunately, American households are dipping into savings and tapping credit cards to pay for their latest shopping spree. Unless their paychecks begin expanding at the same pace, the new?spending, and the boost it's giving to the economy, may not be sustainable.

"While households want to spend and will raid their bank accounts to support that habit, unless income gains start improving consumption will have to slow," said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Ecoomic Advisors.

After a long, slow recovery from the 2007 recession, consumers are feeling more upbeat about the economic outlook in 2012. Five years after the worst housing collapse since the Great Depression, home prices in many markets are beginning to stabilize and sales are perking up. The job market, though still very tight in?many industries and occupations, has been creating new openings at a healthy clip. The stock market is up nearly 30 percent in the past six months.

All of which?helped boost consumer confidence to its highest level in more than a year in March, according to the latest reading by Thomson Reuters and University of Michigan. The upbeat mood has been showing up in other consumer surveys.

It's also showing up in the data on consumer spending, which rose 0.8 percent, according to the Commerce Department. Spending on durable goods like cars and trucks rose sharply. January's spending was revised up to 0.4 percent from a previously reported 0.2 percent gain.

The spending gains have also helped boost wider optimism about the economy and has prompted some forecasters to lift their estimates for the pace of growth this year.

"So long as the consumer is spending, that's the biggie everyone is watching as they drive the economy," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial.

Not all of the spending boost came from increased confidence. Higher gasoline prices have forced households to shell out more at the pump even if their paychecks are able to stretch far enough to make up the difference. The energy component of the Commerce Department's spending data surged 3.6 percent last month, largely due to higher gasoline prices, which have jumped 62 percent so far this year.

?Some forecasters think the pain at the pump will get worse before it gets better.

"The bad news is that pump prices will start approaching the $4.15-$4.20 per gallon range by Memorial Day," said Chris Christopher, a senior economist at IHS Global Insight. "The good news is that a relatively stronger job and stock market are assisting in holding up consumer spending and confidence."

After several false starts, the job market seems to be gaining strength, adding nearly 250,000 jobs a month for the last three months, helping to bring the unemployment rate down?to 8.3 percent from 9.0 percent in September.

Some small business owners are report that they plan to hire this year. About a third of those surveyed by payroll processor Sure Payroll said they plan to take on more workers in 2012, with only two percent planning layoffs. The rest expect to keep staffing levels where they are. Nearly 80 percent of those polled said the pace of business met or exceeded their expectations in the first three months of this year.

The hope is that continued improvement in the job market will translate into higher wages, which would help sustain the recent pickup in spending. Until then, consumers are leaning on their savings and credit cards to pay for the spending increase. Personal income inched up just 0.2 percent last month;?disposable income, the amount left after taxes and inflation, fell for a second straight month,

That means dipping into savings and borrowing more. The savings rate, the amount of disposable income households have socked away, dropped to 3.7 percent, the lowest rate since August.

After steadily declining during the recession, the total level of revolving credit outstanding bottomed in May 2010 and is up 8.3 percent since them, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve.

CNBC's Rick Santelli has the consumer sentiment data, which jumped to 76.2 vs. 75.3 in February.

How to Transplant Houseplants to Your Outdoor Garden

Gardeners often plant two seeds or more per container. "The extra plant is an insurance policy in case one seed doesn't sprout," Myers says. But if both seeds germinate, there's usually not enough room for both seedlings. As hard as it is, you have to sacrifice the weaker plant so the stronger one can thrive.

Wait until the stems have at least two sets of leaves before deciding which one to keep, Myers says. "Don't do anything until you have two true leaves." Then, clip the weaker one at ground level with scissors.

However, if the seedlings are far enough apart that the roots aren't entangled, you can move one to its own container until it's ready to be planted outdoors. "Use a kitchen fork to carefully lift and separate the plants with minimal impact to the roots," she says.

Judge sentences former director of Alabama Small Business ...

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --- The former director of the Alabama Small Business Development Consortium was sentenced today to 15 years and 8 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Abdul Kallon.

Maurice William Campbell Jr. was also ordered to pay restitution to the state of $5.9 million jointly with three others who pleaded guilty in the case.

Campbell is scheduled to report to prison on April 23.

His lawyer, Stephen Shaw, said they will appeal the verdict and sentencing, but had no further comment.

Kallon sentenced Campbell today at the end of a hearing that lasted nearly four hours.

Campbell was convicted last fall on 96 counts of mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering.

Federal prosecutors recommended that Campbell be sentenced to more than 21 years in prison for his conviction in what prosecutors called a scheme to defraud the state of $7.3 million.

Campbell was hired in January 2003 as state director of the consortium. That group was composed of four-year universities in the state -- each with its own small business development center -- as well as a procurement technical center and an international trade center.

In 2005, he formed the private, nonprofit Alabama Small Business Institute of Commerce, which got more than $7.3 million from the state before funding was shut down in 2010.

Campbell was accused of using state money for the benefit of himself and others, including gifts of jewelry, clothing, and dinners for young women he surrounded himself with whom he called "Little Sisters." He also referred to himself as "Sir William," according to testimony.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? It wasn't a laughing matter for Heejun Han on "American Idol."

The goofy 22-year-old nonprofit organizer from New York who found his way back into the judges' good graces after weeks of silly on-stage antics was eliminated from the Fox singing contest. After receiving the fewest viewer votes, Han couldn't convince the judges to save him Thursday by reprising his serious take on Leon Russell's "A Song for You."

"Heejun, let the record show you knew this was coming yourself," said "Idol" judge Steven Tyler.

Han was joined in the bottom three by 18-year-old finalists Skylar Laine of Brandon, Miss., and Hollie Cavanaugh of McKinney, Texas. Laine was lauded by the judges during Wednesday's idol-themed performances for her energetic rendition of Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder and Lead," while Cavanaugh failed to light up Tyler and Randy Jackson with Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel."

The eight remaining singers will return to the stage to perform 1980s tunes for viewer votes next Wednesday.

Jewish school gunman linked to French spies?

France 2 via AP

Mohamed Merah shown in this image from French TV station France 2

By Alastair Jamieson, msnbc.com

Mohamed Merah, the gunman who killed seven people including three Jewish children, may have been an informant for France's intelligence services, according to reports that raise further questions about whether authorities missed chances to prevent the attacks.

The 23-year-old, who is a French citizen of Algerian origin, shot dead three Muslim soldiers as well as?three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school before being?slain by police commandos at the end of a 32-hour standoff in an apartment in Toulouse.

---

It later emerged Merah had traveled to Afghanistan and Israel in 2010 and had been interviewed in November 2011 by the domestic intelligence agency Direction Centrale du Renseignement Int?rieur (DCRI).

Bernard Squarcini, head of the agency, was quoted by French newspaper Le Monde as saying Merah asked for a local DCRI agent by name while he was holed-up in the apartment surrounded by police.

Father of Toulouse gunman wants to sue France for killing son

Squarcini told Le Monde that Merah shocked the female agent by saying: "Anyway, I was going to call you to say I had some tip-offs for you, but actually I was going to [kill] you.?

Merah, who told police he had been inspired to commit his attacks by al-Qaida, used the French word "fumer", which means "to smoke," which is a slang term that also means to "murder" or "waste."

Squarcini?s remarks to Le Monde were reported in other French media, including Liberation?and Le Figaro.

?

'Not trivial'
Yves Bonnet,?former head of an intelligence agency that was merged with DCRI in 2008,?told Toulouse newspaper La D?p?che du Midi that it was significant that Merah appeared to have a regular contact at the DCRI. ?Having a contact is not totally innocent,? he told the newspaper. ?This is not trivial.?

Italian newspaper Il Foglio said Merah?s trip to Israel and Afghanistan in September 2010 was made with the knowledge of the French foreign secret service, the Direction G?n?rale de la S?curit? Ext?rieure.?However, London's?Independent newspaper quoted a spokesman for the agency as dismissing that report as "grotesque".

Squarcini has since insisted Merah was not helping authorities, telling Liberation the gunman was not "an informer for the DCRI or any other French or foreign services."

Meanwhile, Merah?s body will be flown to Algeria on Thursday if the country agrees to receive it, an official at one of the biggest mosques in Paris told Reuters.

Abdallah Zekri said?Merah's body?was being kept?at a hospital in Toulouse while Algerian authorities decided whether they were willing to receive it. French media had reported that Merah's father had requested burial in Algeria.

On Tuesday, Merah's father, Mohamed Benalen Merah, lashed out at French authorities for killing his son. The elder Merah, who lives in Algeria, had earlier said he wanted to sue France.

"France is a powerful country with huge resources," Merah told France 24 television. "They could have taken him while he slept. They could have used a sleep-inducing gas and taken him like a baby. Why were they so hasty? Why did they kill him?"

"They could have arrested him and had him face justice," he added.

However, the BBC said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe responded: "If I were the father of such a monster, I would shut my mouth in shame.?

Each person goes around and writes what they enjoy about others on his or her respective paper. It is a good morale booster when you can lookup at their positive leadership qualities. They are to meet the other team and each team is individual, they move together and talk together. Step by step and word by word each team member is on the lookout for clues from one person ( usually a frontrunner will emerge) on when to go, words to mention etc.

Gay and Lesbian Friendly Yellow Pages Directory ? GayFriendlyBiz ...

Can a gay matchmaker from Miami turn into a visionary? Paul Angelo MHA, MBA offers a compelling vision for financial, health and relationship success for gay men in the U.S. and world-wide. The Gay Leadership Project is the beginning of something big ? says Angelo.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 29, 2012

Paul Angelo, the gay matchmaker and gay life coach offers a new vision for gay men. In 5 years, Angelo sees gay men to be role models for superb health, financial independence and loving relationships.

The Problem

The absence of leadership and role models in the gay community leads to lack of identity, purpose and direction for gay men. There is no compelling vision for the future that serves as the motivation to change the old mindsets about sexuality that permeate the gay lifestyle. Gay men need a new vision that catapults the gay community into a more fulfilling and meaningful future.

The evidence for the problem is easily seen in gay media channels and by listening to the opinions of heterosexuals about gay men. A person can come to a Pride Parade and witness the demonstration of sexual acts, eroticism and sexual innuendo instead of being presented with new ideas and inspiration to live a meaningful and purposeful life.

?In many metropolitan areas, 1 out of 3 gay men are HIV +, 95% of all relationships don?t last, and gay men spend a disproportionate amount of time searching for sexual experiences, instead of learning how to become financially independent, have stable relationships and learn how to relate to one another better? says Angelo.

It is important to act now because sex-centered lifestyle doesn?t work any longer. Love, happiness, good health and financial independence require more than sexual compatibility. In addition, the world is changing faster than ever and the economic and social hardship will only get worse in the coming years. By acting now, gay men can get a head start in creating the ultimate lifestyle and in enjoying the benefits of a loving partner, successful career and a healthy lifestyle.

The Solution

The solution is the Gay Leadership Project where gay men learn about gay sexuality, gay health issues, business concepts and gay relationships. Specifically, gay men will learn how to incorporate sexuality into daily life, how to lose weight and stay fit, how to start and run a business and how to create a loving relationship.

Gay Leadership Project serves as a coaching platform for meeting and interacting with other gay men who are interested in personal development, financial independence, fulfilling careers and loving relationships.

The Gay Leadership Project is a partnership between gay life coaches, therapists, psychologists, personal trainers and gay business leaders to bring the latest research and innovation in gay living to all participants.

A gentle stretch is made and so the excess skin is taken away. Fine stitches will be carried out to close up the cuts created. When the surgery is done, the doctor is going to apply ointment to the eyes and put on bandage over it.

"Tens of billions" of habitable worlds in Milky Way

By Ben Hirschler

LONDON | Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:17am EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - Astronomers hunting for rocky planets with the right temperature to support life estimate there may be tens of billions of them in our galaxy alone.

A European team said on Wednesday that about 40 percent of red dwarf stars - the most common type in the Milky Way - have a so-called "super-Earth" planet orbiting in a habitable zone that would allow water to flow on the surface.

Since there are around 160 billion red dwarfs in the Milky Way, the number of worlds that are potentially warm enough and wet enough to support life is enormous.

Xavier Bonfils of the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics in Grenoble, the leader of the team, said the 40 percent figure was at the high end of what had been expected and the finding underscored the prevalence of small rocky planets.

His team is the first to calculate the number of super-Earths - planets with a mass between one and 10 times the Earth - in such habitable zones, although previous research has found the Milky Way to be awash with planets.

Red dwarfs, which are faint and cool compared to the Sun, account for around 80 percent of the stars in the Milky Way.

After studying 102 of these stars in the southern skies using a European Southern Observatory telescope in Chile, Bonfils and colleagues found rocky planets were far more common than massive gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system.

However, the rocky worlds spinning around red dwarfs are not necessarily cosy places for alien forms of life.

Because reds dwarfs are much cooler than the sun, any planets with liquid water will need to be orbiting much closer to the star than the Earth is from the Sun. That may mean they are bathed in damaging X-ray and ultraviolet radiation.

Scientists aim to take a closer look at some of the Earth-like planets as they pass in front of nearby red dwarfs, which should yield information about their atmospheres and help in the search for possible signs of life.

The research was presented in a paper to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics link.reuters.com/bav37s

Professional Hair Conditioner Review ? Beauty, Health and Fitness ...

26 Mar 2012 o 3:18 | Hair
Autor: admin |

If you love hair conditioner like most beauty savvy babes, you likely have a tried-and-true brand you favor, one that typically accompanies whatever shampoo you use. If you don?t use it, you probably wonder why so many men and women go to the extent and expense they do when it comes to conditioner, just to add it to an already overloaded beauty regime.

Its true; many blindly use conditioner, not knowing what good it does for the hair. Others don?t use it at all because they are unaware of the many benefits of high quality hair conditioner. There are several important reasons why you should incorporate a conditioning product into your hair care routine, but first, lets get a quick lesson from yesteryear.

The modern hair conditioner is rooted in a rich history that dates back to the beginning of the 20th Century. When famous perfumer Ed Pinaud presented a product he named Brilliantine at the 1900 Exposition Universelle (World Fair) in Paris, it was an immediate success. His revolutionary product was designed to soften men?s hair, especially beards and mustaches, but soon women were using it to make their hair healthier and more beautiful. Since Pinaud invented his hair-softening product so many years ago, beauty specialists have created conditioners for all types of hair and there are virtually thousands of different types used by people all across the globe.

Study finds HIV-infected men at risk for spreading HIV despite taking HAART

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Fenway Health have found that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) does not completely suppress HIV in the semen of sexually active HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM). The findings, which currently appear on-line in AIDS, could indicate a potential transmission risk in MSM, who are highly susceptible to HIV infection.

Approximately 33.3 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS, and 1.8 million deaths and 2.6 million new infections occur annually. Unprotected intercourse is the most common route through which HIV-1 is transmitted, and semen of HIV-infected men is an important source of HIV. Whereas the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa is generalized with approximately equal percentages of infections occurring in men and women, the epidemic in the United States and many other developed countries is concentrated in men who have sex with men. HAART, which is the primary treatment for HIV/AIDS, consists of a combination of potent anti-HIV drugs, which generally suppresses HIV levels in blood and semen, and HIV transmission to sex partners. However, sexually active MSM have a high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections which are a risk factor for HIV transmission.

To determine what percentage of sexually active HIV-infected MSM on HAART have HIV in their semen, the research team, headed by Deborah Anderson, MD, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at BUSM, recruited 101 men from Fenway health, Boston. They measured levels of HIV in blood and semen, and examined the relationship between HIV in semen and other clinical, behavioral and biological variables.

Eighteen percent of the men had HIV in blood despite being on HAART, and half of these men also had HIV in semen. "It has been shown before that HIV levels in peripheral blood are an important predictor of seminal HIV," explained lead author Joseph Politch, PhD, research associate professor in obstetrics and gynecology at BUSM.

Of the 83 men with undetectable HIV in blood plasma, 25 percent had HIV in their semen. Detection of HIV in semen was strongly associated with high-risk (unprotected) sex behavior, sexually transmitted infections and genital inflammation.

"Our study provides evidence that genital infections and inflammation are common in HIV-infected MSM that engage in unprotected intercourse, and that these factors can promote HIV in the genital tract of men on suppressive HAART therapy even when HIV is not detectable in blood," said Politch.

Because MSM are more vulnerable to HIV infection than heterosexual men, this information has potential clinical significance for the HIV epidemic in MSM. "Men who have sex with men who are at risk for transmitting HIV may believe that they have a low risk based on incorrect assumptions that HAART eliminates HIV from semen. Until more information on transmission risk in MSM is available, it would be prudent for sexually active HIV-infected MSM to use condoms and other risk-reduction strategies throughout all stages of HIV disease, regardless of HIV treatment status, and to promote the aggressive diagnosis and treatment of STIs," Politch said. Kenneth Mayer, MD, Director of Research at Fenway Health and a co-investigator on the study added: "We would like to extend this research to study the effects of newer HAART regimens, since newer agents may have different effects on HIV suppression in different compartments in the body, which may have implications for HIV prevention."

Robots may soon outrun us, even in the woods

21 hrs.

John Roach

For now, when a weaponless bi-pedal robot is chasing you down the street, escape is as easy as veering off into the woods, a construction site or some other uneven landscape where most bots are ill-equipped to maneuver quickly.?

Those days, however, are coming to an end.

For better or worse, researchers with San Francisco-based?Meka Robotics?and the?University of Texas at Austin?are working on a bi-pedal robot named Hume that they hope will one day run with the same ease as humans across any kind of landscape.

Technically, the running skill that researchers hope to program into Hume is called human-centered hyper-agility.?IEEE explains:?

"Like humans, Hume will rely on minimal perception: when we run, we're not staring at the ground for every step, but rather adapting passively to small terrain variations without having to devote a lot of brain power to not falling on our faces."

The team is aware that?Boston Dynamics' four-footed Petman robot?built with funding from DARPA already has this skill, but?note in a paper?that that robot's "detailed architecture is uncertain to us."

Petman undoubtedly will find use hauling gear for soldiers. The team working on Hume expect their technology will also have a "direct impact in design of human assistive devices for all terrains and the next generation semi-autonomous robot."

While this development seems like good news in the ongoing effort to improve our ability to catch enemies, robots that run as well as or better than humans could be a daunting prospect if they ever turn against us.

1. Get Certified!? Because of today?s real estate market conditions there are many out there who say they can handle a short sale.? What will set you a part is the expertise you have in this niche.? Courses such as the CRDS designation will prepare you to handle the details of the transaction and understand how there may be options for sellers.
2. Acknowledge the emotional mindset of the seller and make sure to tailor your marketing to their needs.? 50% of homeowners in a distressed situation do nothing to stop their foreclosure.? Many feel embarrassed, overwhelmed and don?t even realize that their may be options.? This is critical in understanding how you must market to them.? Traditional sellers want to know who you are and your results.? Sellers in a distressed state are seeking answers with autonomy so that if they feel there is a way out, they know what questions to ask?. It is then that you should be positioned to help them in a confidential way.
3. Create a consumer-centric (stealth) website that is non-branded to your particular brand.? Remember distressed sellers are looking for answers! Make it easy for them to come to get information, FAQ?s, free reports, and downloadable worksheets.? When you do this, then you will be positioned to help them with their questions.? Also, by focusing in a non-branded stealth strategy people will not be attached to you as forever being the foreclosure expert or short sale Realtor? because when the market corrects you don?t want to be typecast in that role.
4. Once you have the website built with the seller in mind with lead capturing tools, now it?s time to drive traffic to the site.? Contact your local newspaper and distribute a press release to the media.? The press release can spur local media to interview you and help you get the word out.
5. Develop small classified ?stealth? ad that are small and inexpensive to run in the paper.? This allows a seller in need to know that there is a site to help them get more information and it allows gives them privacy to look at the information on their terms?without feeling pressured.
6. Seek out specific neighborhoods that may be experiencing a high amount of foreclosures vs. other neighborhoods.? Run queries on new home communities where buyers might have possibly had a high % of adjustable rate mortgages.? If you are in a title state, work with the title company to run searches on specific zip codes and notices of default.
7. Mail to these neighborhoods with a specific postcard to engage the homeowner and let them know that there is a site that is built to help them avoid foreclosure.
8. Ad a button on your flagship website that allows people who visit your site easy access to click over to your informational website.? For those of you who are ranking highly on the search engines this will really drive additional traffic.
9. Create a sphere of influence letter that goes out to your database to let your clients know that if they or a family member or friend is in need that you have resources and the education to help them.
10. Understand and embrace the synergy of print and web to generate business for you in this market niche.? By helping sellers in your market today, you will create clients for life.
