We were extremely fortunate to enjoy an 8-course meal at the top of Staying Cool as part of its Creative Heights programme of 10 unique arts and culture events to celebrate a decade of the apartment hotel opening at the iconic Rotunda.
Staying Cool pulled out all the stops to arrange for the incredible Wilderness team lead by head chef and founder Alex Claridge to come into one of the glamorous top floor penthouse apartments and deliver one of his groundbreakingly creative menus.
Alex and his talented team push themselves to come up with new dishes that explode with flavour on your taste buds and aim to thrill you with their originality. It's a busy year for the team, having opened their new restaurant in the Jewellery Quarter in the Spring and now currently working hard to get the unique cocktail bar Nocturnal Animals ready on Bennett's Hill.
As well as jaw-droppingly unique food, the menu was accompanied by a full tasting menu, a range of eclectic drinks created by recent World Class GB Top Ten finalist bartender James Bowker. James (pictured above) talked us through some of the complex processes behind the drinks menu and you can't help but be amazed at the enthusiasm and search for perfection that pushes him to invent new flavour combinations.
It was interesting to hear that the concept at Nocturnal Animals involves drinks that will bring food and cocktails together like never before. You will select a centrepiece cocktail and then all the other courses are built around that flavour.
James posted an example on his Instagram after competing at Gleneagles in June.
Our first course of the night was incredibly a Big Mac! Alex likes to have some fun with some of the dishes so a Big Mac aims to give you the same flavours as that classic twist with premium ingredients such as Wagyu beef and a delicious gherkin ketchup.
Next up it was two light seafood dishes with a granita twist to keep your taste buds tingling. The crab was served with elderflower and wasabi and was one of my favourite dishes of the night whilst the mackerel was complemented with tomato and almonds in an intriguing combination.
Onto the mains and the Welsh Wagyu beef was lifted to new heights with an 18-month shiitake mushroom and caviar.
A taste fusion followed next with this lamb, cucumber, anchovy dish served with squid ink.
Two incredible desserts stole my heart at the end. Miso with pineapple and ice cream was lush and then the 'Rummy Bear' made with rum with a 60% alcohol content was a sweet triumph and so moreish you wish they came by the bagful. They are the equivalent of half a shot each though. Alex recounted how he discovered this after nibbling on some of the bears during a service when his vision started to blur.
An unforgettable evening, meal, team and venue. What a beautiful view of the ever-changing Birmingham skyline too. Look out for more Creative Heights events on Staying Cool's website. You are guaranteed a treat! Massive thanks to the Wilderness and Staying Cool for combining to create a truly special experience.

Mark King (Level 42): Track Record…
Mark King is undoubtedly one of the world's best known bass guitarists. Ol' thunder thumb helped establish the slap-bass style in pop music; originated by Larry Graham in Sly and the Family Stone and Graham Central Station.
Mark formed legendary band Level 42 as a 20-year-old on the Isle Of Wight with his musical mates in 1979, and two years later, they scored their first hit single with "Love Games".
Since then they have had 18 hit singles, 14 studio albums/selling more than 30 million copies, seven live albums, six compilation albums, the superb 2013 Sirens EP (on Level 42 Records – their first original material since 2006) and have toured the globe several times over. They have had hits in the US too.
Still in big demand as a live act with most tours selling out in advance, the band will tour the UK again in November 2022, with the "Lessons In Live" tour.
Following a successful re-scheduled run of UK and European shows in late 2021, under the banner of "From Eternity To Here", which celebrated the band's fifth decade. Level 42 also appear at a few festivals in the summer.
Level 42 singer and bassist Mark King, who is also a first-call bassman to guest for an array of A-list artists, said: "Despite all the obvious problems with Covid, the last set of dates were so much fun that we just couldn't wait to get some new shows scheduled. We're very much looking forward to seeing the fans again".
Their timeless hits include "Lessons in Love", "Something About You", "Leaving Me Now", "Running in the Family", and "Hot Water".
The band sold out Wembley Arena for a total of 21 nights, and are one of the UK's most successful bands ever.
Tickets for the 2022 dates are on sale here: www.aegpresents.co.uk

CannaTrials adheres to evidence-based medicine – making statements based on medical evidence.
This page is excerpted and quoted from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. A Committee of over 40 experts, researchers, and reviewers in The Health and Medicine Division published a 486 page report in 2017 entitled "The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research."
If you would like to access the entire report you may do so by clicking this link.
"In 2011, motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) were the leading cause of death among U.S. adolescents and adults ages 16 to 25 years (NHTSA, 2015). Among all age groups, MVCs occurring in 2014 resulted in more than 32,000 fatalities and more than 2 million nonfatal injuries in the United States (CDC, 2016a; NHTSA, 2016).5 Nationally, the combined medical and work loss costs associated with these fatal and nonfatal injuries is substantial at $44 and $51.3 billion, respectively (Bergen et al., 2014; CDC, 2015).6
In 2014, 3.2 percent of individuals ages 16 to 25 years reported driving while intoxicated by cannabis (Azofeifa et al., 2015), and the prevalence of THC metabolites detected in the blood or oral fluids of weekend nighttime drivers participating in the National Roadside Survey rose from 8.6 percent in 2007 to 12.6 percent in 2013–2014 (Berning et al., 2015). Given the public health burden of MVC-related morbidity and mortality and the presence of cannabis use and intoxication while driving, there is a need for research to understand the effects of cannabis use on the incidence and severity of motor vehicle crashes and the safety and performance of drivers.
Two important methodological limitations of Rogeberg and Elvik (2016) were noted by other researchers (Gjerde and Morland, 2016). First, DUIC may have not just referred to acute intoxication. Indeed, many of the studies considered in this review scored case and control counts as positive using criteria that would also be satisfied by drivers with recent or regular cannabis use but who were neither intoxicated nor impaired while driving (Gjerde and Morland, 2016). Moreover, the association between THC levels in blood and either acute intoxication or driving impairment remains a subject of controversy, and it could represent an important limitation in the interpretation of findings in culpability studies based on blood THC levels (Desrosiers et al., 2014; Khiabani et al., 2006; Logan et al., 2016; Menetrey et al., 2005; Papafotiou et al., 2005). Second, 3 of the 21 studies used different methods to assess cases and controls, which may lead to a non-differential misclassification of exposure. A missing component in this review is a better determination of the dose at which driving becomes sufficiently unsafe as to increase MVC risk. Finally, Rogeberg and Elvik (2016) did not provide evidence from cohort studies to address DUIC in MVC.
Simulator studies were also not included in Rogeberg and Elvik (2016). Some laboratory and simulator studies that have examined the effects of acute cannabis intoxication on driving performance have found that the psychomotor skills necessary for safe driving become increasingly impaired at higher doses of cannabis (Sewell et al., 2009). While these experiments may have high internal validity regarding dose-related effects on psychomotor performance, they do not necessarily reflect the complex nature of driving ability and MVC risk attributed to DUIC in a real-world scenario. Epidemiological studies of MVC in populations may help to address these limitations and are the only reasonable and ethical alternative to controlled experiments outside the laboratory. However, cannabis smokers have demographic characteristics that are similar to those of other groups with a high crash risk, including youth, males, and those with a high prevalence of drugged and drunk driving (Bergeron and Paquette, 2014; Richer and Bergeron, 2009). In particular, confounding or effect modification with alcohol is an important driver-related factor that needs to be better taken into account. The bulk of the evidence available describing the association between DUIC and MVCs comes from case-control studies that evaluate the odds of a MVC by DUIC status and from culpability studies which evaluate the odds of culpability in drivers involved in collisions by DUIC status.
CONCLUSION 9-3 There is substantial evidence of a statistical association between cannabis use and increased risk of motor vehicle crashes. [1]"

Silent Hill 2 Remake Rumors: Bloober Staff CEO Refuses to Remark, However Says New Venture 'Will Nonetheless Be a Bloober Staff Title'
about Silent Hill 2 Remake Rumors: Bloober Staff CEO Refuses to Remark, However Says New Venture 'Will Nonetheless Be a Bloober Staff Title' will lid the most recent and most present steerage within the area of the world. proper to make use of slowly thus you perceive skillfully and accurately. will bump your data easily and reliably
Following rumors that horror recreation developer Bloober Staff is remaking the legendary Silent Hill 2, CEO Piotr Babieno has mentioned he can't remark, however hopes to make an announcement in regards to the firm's future tasks "as quickly as we will". He added that its unannounced challenge will "nonetheless be a Bloober Staff title", even when it is made in partnership with one other firm. Babieno additionally defined that future Bloober video games will likely be larger and extra gameplay-focused than prior to now, and won't be "strolling sim"-type experiences.
Chatting with IGN at Polish video games convention Digital Dragons, Babieno responded to rumors (first reported by influencer Nate the Hate and subsequently journalist Jeff Grubb) a few Silent Hill 2 Remake by saying:
"We will't touch upon something we're doing as a result of we admire our relationship with our companions, after all. So we will't [say] something. We'll make an announcement about our future tasks as quickly as we will. So then you'll know rather more." Chuckling, he added, "Formally."
Bloober Staff entered right into a partnership with Konami — proprietor of the Silent Hill sequence — final 12 months. Since then, a number of reviews have linked the developer (which developed horror video games Layers of Concern, Observer, Blair Witch, and The Medium) with a Silent Hill challenge. It was even pressured to disclaim that a few of its unused recreation ideas had been deliberate Silent Hill titles. Bloober confirmed beforehand that it is concurrently engaged on two titles, one with Konami, whereas one other, attributable to be revealed by Non-public Division, is a brand new IP. Babieno tells me a 3rd title is in pre-production.
Later within the interview, I requested Babieno in regards to the firm's expertise working with a license holder within the case of Blair Witch, and the CEO briefly referenced considered one of Bloober's upcoming tasks, making clear that his firm's strategy is to make video games by itself phrases, even when it is inside another person's franchise.
"I'd say that it's arduous to work with somebody who [owns an IP you're working on], however we're all the time speaking with these licensors, [saying] 'Guys we want to use your license, however we want to inform our personal story.' If we aren't capable of inform our personal story, if we won't have artistic freedom, it doesn't make sense, as a result of Bloober Staff won't make an ideal recreation," Babieno mentioned. "If you're in a jail, you won't be able to fly. In order that's why we try to solely [make] these titles wherein we're feeling, 'OK, it will likely be a Bloober Staff recreation, not somebody [else's].' So even on the challenge we will't discuss [about], it would nonetheless be a Bloober Staff title."
Babieno did not clarify that this was a reference to the Konami title, however it feels probably provided that Bloober's Non-public Division recreation is a brand new IP. If that's the case, and Bloober is engaged on Silent Hill, Babieno's phrases could possibly be taken to imply that the corporate is making use of its personal concepts to Silent Hill 2, or alternatively that its Silent Hill recreation is definitely a brand new story within the sequence totally. The CEO didn't present any additional touch upon these traces.
Talking extra usually about Bloober Staff's future, Babieno mentioned that the corporate was aiming to vary the sorts of video games it makes, whereas sticking with the darkish, psychologically centered topic areas it has specialised in.
"There are lots of people in our staff who want to do larger video games, with extra gameplay, with some recreation mechanics [we haven't used before] as a result of largely our previous titles had been experience-like, proper? It was extra in regards to the temper, in regards to the story, not essentially about gameplay. […] We want to do video games which is able to inform our tales based mostly on the sport mechanics. So you may anticipate that every of our future titles could have lots of gameplay mechanics. These titles will likely be larger."
He added that Bloober's video games would proceed to transition away from the "strolling simulator" strategy of its early successes, corresponding to Layers of Concern.
"It's not an enormous soar, it's slightly evolution, however proper now we're well-prepared to make video games much like Hellblade, to call [one example]. However I'd say that we'll nonetheless have our DNA – these video games will nonetheless belong to Bloober Staff's legacy, and they are going to be larger. We'll inform tales [through gameplay], it won't be strolling sim sorts of expertise sooner or later, however nonetheless, the topic, these emotions which we'd [we would like our fans to feel], they'll stay," Babieno mentioned.
Except for the rumors a few Silent Hill 2 remake, pictures from what's rumored to be a model new Silent Hill had been revealed final week — and swiftly deleted after a copyright declare. The deletion appears to lend credence to their authenticity, though Konami has not commented.
Silent Hill 2 stays one of the crucial beloved video games ever launched. We named the PS2 psychological horror among the finest video games of all time, calling it "an exploration of the depths of human depravity and the results it has on the folks and locations round us that few video video games have dealt with with such a disturbing grace and maturity."

The sources of The River go back into earlier parts of Springsteen's recording career. "Independence Day", "Point Blank", "The Ties That Bind", "Ramrod", and "Sherry Darling" were leftovers from his previous album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and had been featured on the 1978 tour, as had parts of "Drive All Night" as a long interpolation within "Backstreets".[3] "The River" had premiered at the September 1979 Musicians United for Safe Energy concerts, gaining a featured spot in the subsequent documentary No Nukes.[3]
Originally, Springsteen intended The River to be a single album, entitled The Ties That Bind. The single album version was eventually released as one of the discs in the 2015 box set release The Ties That Bind: The River Collection.[4] Springsteen had been working with the E Street Band at his home studio, Telegraph Hill Studios, which was actually a barn at his Holmdel, New Jersey property. By early August, there was an initial cut of 10 songs (recorded at the Power Station in New York City) and Columbia began to believe they might have a new Springsteen record in time for Christmas 1979. But Bruce continued to tinker, writing songs and making demos, and in early September, he swapped out three songs from the first version, added three new songs, and shuffled the song sequence to fit the new material. "Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own", "The Man Who Got Away", and "Ramrod" from the first version were replaced by "Cindy", "The River" (written in late August), and "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)". Springsteen signed off on the second sequence, officially named The Ties That Bind, and the tapes were sent off to begin the production process in early October. But when they came back, he suddenly cancelled the release, and went back to recording. He later said, "The songs lacked the kind of unity and conceptual intensity I liked my music to have." His manager and co-producer, Jon Landau, suggested that maybe this record needed to be a double album, in order to encompass everything Springsteen was trying to achieve. After another seven months at the Power Station, the sessions came to an end. The River was released on October 17, 1980, with 20 of the 50 songs that had been recorded.[5] Springsteen added darker material after he'd written the title track. Indeed, The River became noted for its mix of the frivolous next to the solemn. This was intentional, and in contrast to Darkness, for as Springsteen said during an interview, "Rock and roll has always been this joy, this certain happiness that is in its way the most beautiful thing in life. But rock is also about hardness and coldness and being alone ... I finally got to the place where I realized life had paradoxes, a lot of them, and you've got to live with them."[6]
On November 8, 2009, at a concert, Bruce Springsteen spoke about the album, saying: "The River was a record that was sort of the gateway to a lot of my future writing. It was a record we made after Darkness on the Edge of Town. It was a record made during a recession—hard times in the States. Its title song is a song I wrote for my brother-in-law and sister. My brother-in-law was in the construction industry, lost his job and had to struggle very hard back in the late '70s, like so many people are doing today. It was a record where I first started to tackle men and women and families and marriage. There were certain songs on it that led to complete records later on: 'The River' sort of went to the writing on Nebraska, 'Stolen Car' went to the writing on Tunnel of Love. Originally it was a single record. I handed it in with just one record and I took it back because I didn't feel it was big enough. I wanted to capture the themes I had been writing about on Darkness. I wanted to keep those characters with me and at the same time added music that made our live shows so much fun and joy for our audience. So in the end, we're gonna take you down to The River tonight."[7]

In a contemporary review for Melody Maker, Paolo Hewitt compared listening to The River to "taking a trip through the rock 'n' roll heartland as you've never experienced it. It's a walk down all the streets, all the places, all the people and all the souls that rock has ever visited, excited, cried for and loved."[17] Rolling Stone critic Paul Nelson deemed it "a rock & roll milestone" and said it possesses "weighty conclusions, words to live by" regarding "the second acts of American lives", conclusions "filled with an uncommon common sense and intelligence that could only have come from an exceptionally warmhearted but wary graduate of the street of hard knocks".[18] The River was voted the second best album of 1980 in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics nationwide, published by The Village Voice. Robert Christgau, its creator and supervisor, wrote of Springsteen in a column accompanying the poll, "All the standard objections apply--his beat is still clunky, his singing overwrought, his sense of significance shot through with Mazola Oil. But his writing is at a peak, and he's grown into a bitter empathy. These are the wages of young romantic love among those who get paid by the hour. Maybe he's giving forth with so many short fast ones because the circles of frustration and escape seem even more desperate now."[19] In The New Rolling Stone Record Guide (1983), Dave Marsh called The River "by far Springsteen's most mature work, and arguably his most consistent".[14] According to Jon Pareles of The New York Times, The River was the beginning of 1980s heartland rock.[20] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 253 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[21] and 253 in a 2012 revised list.[22]
"Hungry Heart" was his first U.S. pop singles chart top ten hit single, reaching number five.[23] (Springsteen had not intended the song to be for himself, having initially written it for The Ramones; manager/producer Jon Landau convinced Springsteen to keep the song for himself.) The album hit number one on the U.S. pop albums chart, a first for Springsteen, and sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. between its release and Christmas.[24] "Fade Away" reached number 20.[23]
The album was followed by a lengthy tour of North America and Western Europe during 1980 and 1981.[25] Since its release, The River has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA in the U.S., making it one of his best-selling albums and his highest certified studio release after Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run.[26]

Springsteen celebrated the 35th anniversary of The River by releasing a boxed set titled The Ties That Bind: The River Collection on December 4, 2015. The set contains 52 tracks on four CDs along with four hours of video on three DVDs or two Blu-ray discs. The first two CDs feature the remastered version of The River and the third CD contains the previously unreleased The River: Single Album. As is noted above, the single album was originally to be titled The Ties That Bind; it circulated as a bootleg for many years. The fourth CD, The River: Outtakes, spans the entire The River sessions in 1979 and 1980 and contains eleven previously-unreleased outtakes. The fifth disc (DVD or Blu-ray) contains a 60-minute documentary, The Ties That Bind, which was produced and directed by filmmaker Thom Zimny and features an interview with Springsteen as he reflects on writing and recording The River. The film transitions between Springsteen telling the stories behind the music—and illustrating them with solo acoustic guitar performances—interspersed with period concert footage and photos. The remaining disc(s) feature Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: The River Tour, Tempe 1980, a new film produced from footage professionally filmed in 1980 using four cameras and recorded in multitrack audio. The film features 23 of 33 songs performed, clocking in at 2 hours, 40 minutes on 2 DVDs (or one Blu-ray), from Springsteen's November 5, 1980, concert at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. Also included is 20 minutes of footage from the late September 1980 River Tour rehearsals held in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The boxed set also includes a 148-page coffee table book featuring 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia, including a new essay by Mikal Gilmore.[34]
On October 16, 2015, along with the announcement of the boxed set, "Meet Me in the City", one of the eleven unreleased outtakes, was released through Springsteen's website and on iTunes to promote the release of the boxed set. On November 23, 2015, "Party Lights" was released to promote the box set and made available through iTunes. Much like with The Promise, Springsteen recorded new vocals for some of the outtakes in the set.
Springsteen announced details for The River Tour 2016 on December 4, 2015. The tour began in January 2016 and features a full-album performance of The River at every show, as well as other songs from Springsteen's career. As of the end of the U.S. leg on April 25, 2016, "Meet Me in the City" opened all but one show; the song previously made its live debut when Springsteen and the E Street Band performed on the December 19, 2015, episode of Saturday Night Live.
On December 24, 2015, Springsteen released Arizona State University, Tempe 1980, a free download through the Bruce Springsteen Archives at http://live.brucespringsteen.net. The release contained the ten missing songs from the concert video featured in the boxed set.[35]

Unreleased outtakes
Springsteen wrote a large amount of music during album sessions, and even with the 2015 box set, many songs still remain unreleased. Songs such as "Held Up Without a Gun", "Be True", and "Roulette" were featured as B-sides, the first two on the album's singles and the last on a Tunnel of Love single. "Mary Lou", "I Wanna Be with You", "Bring on the Night", "Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own", "Loose Ends", "Dollhouse", "Where the Bands Are", "Living on the Edge of the World", "Restless Nights", and "Take 'em as They Come" were released on the Tracks box set, while "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)" was released on The Essential Bruce Springsteen collection in 2003. An alternate version of "Stolen Car" was released on Tracks, while a rockabilly version of "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" and "Cindy" remained officially unreleased until 2015 (though both had been available in bootleg form for some years).[36][37] During The River sessions, Springsteen also recorded "Jole Blon", "Dedication", "Your Love", and "This Little Girl" — songs he would eventually give to Gary U.S. Bonds for two of his albums on which Springsteen produced and appeared on along with other members of the E Street Band. "Jeannie Needs a Shooter" was also given to Warren Zevon, which he re-worked and recorded. None of the demos recorded at Telegraph Hill Studios in Holmdel (the converted barn on Springsteen's property) in 1979 have ever been released, probably because of quality issues ("Night Fire", on the outtakes disc, was re-recorded in 2015). Most can be found on the Lost Masters bootleg collection, released in the 1990s.[38]

During the Cold War Rudolf Abel was put on trial for spying. James B. Donovan was appointed to defend Abel. Though he was vilified for it, the attorney delivered American justice to a Soviet spy. Was justice truly served or would it be served a few years later when a U-2 spy plane was brought down inside the Soviet Union?

Bridge of Spies, is Spielberg's homage to the historical period after WWII known as the Cold War, whose primary antagonists were the U.S., the Soviet Union, and their allies. With precise cinematic artistry, Spielberg recreates the look and feel of the late 1950s right down to the tone and atmosphere of fear that pervades homily scenarios as children discuss nuclear attack preparedness, and in street scenes of bombed out Berlin and East Berlin. It was a war of paralysis and the Soviets were the bomb-dropping bogeymen ready to pull the plug on civilization. Spielberg establishes that many in the population were casualties of fear, even those in high government positions.
During the arc of the film Spielberg subtly underscores the following details about this period without being preachy, but by telling a story inspired by true events. He reveals how the Cold War was a war of subterfuge, of surreptitious machinations, and gamesmanship. There was the justification that despite the negative proportional risks of population annihilation and radiation poisoning, there had to be an escalation of nuclear weapons manufacture and secret technologies innovation. It was a time when the citizen's act of turning over military secrets to the U.S.S.R. was punishable by death and indeed, the Rosenbergs were executed. It was a time when the budget of the Military Industrial Complex and Defense Department burgeoned and the CIA enjoyed unprecedented power over civil government.
Indeed, espionage, the CIA's purview, was made the front line of the war. It was considered one of the most effective weapons to gain the high ground and forestall a nuclear attack or armed aggression which neither country desired but which they fronted as a necessary option to be pursued if the other side provoked an incident. Into this period, were thrust two players, both noble in their own right, and one of them an unsung American hero. Spielberg and his screenwriters, Matt Charman, Joel and Ethan Cohen relate with simplicity, humor and power the story of James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks is at masterful command as the citizen soldier who upholds principles of justice and civil rights), and Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance is perfect as the loyal, fatalistic Soviet spy who will not be turned).

Because of their unquestioned integrity, and the trust the two have for each other, the filmmakers show how Abel and Donovan managed to negotiate a bridge of communication between the warring countries. When all around them are losing nerve, Abel and Donovan keep their sanity. With caution and temperance, they overcome the frightening tensions of the period and in their sphere they moderate power grabs by U.S. government officials and agencies. In foreshadowing how such agencies (CIA, Justice Department, FBI), are willing to sacrifice U.S. principles to complete their own agendas, Spielberg stencils the blueprint of yesterday and superimposes it on current times. In the scenes of yesteryear are suggested the dark, infamous lines of the Patriot Act and the erosion of Constitutional principles like due process, justice and human rights; also intimated are today's NSA surveillance abuses, rendition and the heinous violations of Abu Ghraib.
The film focuses on a little known American hero, James B. Donovan, a level-headed, stalwart lawyer who embraced and upheld American principles set forth in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Called upon to defend Soviet Spy Abel to prove that American justice is the kind-hearted antithesis of the Soviet Gulag, Donovan, a lawyer who assisted at the Nuremberg Trials, attempts to put on a viable case by showing that the FBI is guilty of violating the Fourth Amendment's search and seizure. But the presiding Judge Byers tells Donovan to back off. Abel's guilt as a spy is a foregone conclusion. Donovan sees that the trial is a sham and he is the puppet counsel doing his "patriotic" duty. Excoriated by negative press publicity, Donovan falls on his sword to uphold the U.S. government's "unblemished" image. The public, CIA agent Hoffman (a wonderful performance by Scott Shepherd of the presumptuous, arrogant agent), the justice department, Donovan's family, and all except Donovan are thrilled that "right" has triumphed. Donovan knows better.
Figuring that Abel will be sentenced to the electric chair like the Rosenbergs, a position 99% of the public supports, Donovan negotiates with Judge Byers behind closed doors. He inspires the judge not to level the death penalty; Abel might be useful in an exchange if an American spy is convicted in the Soviet Union. Judge Byers relents; Abel is sentenced to life, and Donovan who has become friendly with Abel assures him that he will take the trial on appeal to the Supreme Court despite opposition by the CIA, the justice department, the American public, and his boss finely portrayed by Alan Alda.

Meanwhile, Francis Gary Powers has been shot down in his U-2 spy plane and has not killed himself with the poison the CIA gave him. Powers is convicted by the Soviets and the CIA's bungled mission is an embarrassment which causes the failure of a hoped for easing of cold war tensions in the Four Powers Paris Summit. The longer Powers remains in a Soviet prison, the more the CIA and Agent Hoffman fear that Powers will be turned. In contrast, Abel has said nothing about spying for the Soviets; Donovan considers Abel's loyalty to be superlative and respects the man whom he cannot get released from prison. He loses his Supreme Court appeal 5 to 4. Donovan, believes that Powers, like the loyal Abel, will not speak under torture. The CIA and Hoffman are not convinced and want Powers home. Donovan's canny prescience has proven to be accurate; Abel will be used in a spy exchange for Powers.
However, to save face and not destroy their image of spotless, pure strength, CIA assets and government agencies want no part of a negotiated exchange. This section of the film, though there is humor throughout, is darkly ironic. The gaming by these various department assets is ludicrous, especially when they mangle their mandate. Spielberg shows that given what is at stake (the military technology is in Soviet hands), and the fear and embarrassment they experience because Powers has flubbed the mission, it is understandable that they refuse to negotiate. What if they fail and look even more ridiculous?

The turning point of the film occurs when once again, Donovan's services are needed for his country. But when Donovan flies to Germany to negotiate the exchange and goes to East Berlin to meet the Soviet mediator, there are extraordinary convolutions. The complications involve East Germany which attempts to pull off a diplomatic coup to be recognized by the U.S. Donovan is ingenious; he makes the right intervening decisions and under intense duress remains steadfast as he balanced on the head of a pin.
Spielberg and screenwriters Matt Charman, Ethan and Joel Coen present one terrifying and confusing scenario after another: Donovan is driven through bombed out Berlin and ends up in East Berlin the flash-point of the Cold War within close proximity to the Berlin Wall. Donovan arranges an additional exchange which is opposed by CIA Agent Hoffman, but he has nothing to lose. He knows that his government will allow him to fall on the sword once more and his life may even be at stake; but if he dies, his principles will hold. Despite tremendous pressure from the East Germans, the Soviets and the U.S. government, he is a "standing man." His righteous energy and apprehension to distinguish the truth from what is obfuscation and lies is without equal in this film. The only other individual who has demonstrated an equivalent strength of character has been Rudolf Abel.
These are the watchmen awake to see what is going on. They are "old school," patriots and citizens willing to die or be sacrificed for ideals that others have died and been sacrificed for. They do this with mediation, without picking up a gun, and without internalizing fear and allowing it to overcome them in the face of death. Spielberg and the writers have portrayed them as heroic and the director suggests that only because of them is the exchange effected.
In contrast the leaders portrayed are merely politicians who follow their puppet's line to bow to those behind the scenes who are pushing another agenda, not necessarily what is good for the American citizen. These waffle, modify their integrity, and are blown whichever way the wind carries them. The parallels Spielberg and the screenwriters draw to leaders in our current government and culture are unmistakable. One wishes for the sanity of a Donovan and Abel. But would they be recognized as such; would they be brought into the inner circles of power?
In Bridge of Spies, the connection between the past and present is clear. Spielberg and screenwriters show how the seeds sown during the Cold War have grown into the weeds which are sending their roots into the Middle East and appear impossible to eradicate. The issues are the same; the countries are different, but behind the scenes the machinations are ongoing. The themes of the film exemplified in the characterizations of Donovan and Abel reveal that the hope lies with citizen advocates. These are the ones who soldier on without guns or weapons or poisons. They uphold the law even when the justice system obviates it because the outcome has "been decided" by darker forces. They question the right of these darker powers to exist. They expose them to the light and hold them accountable whenever possible. Even in the face of failure, they stand. And as they keep on trying, their prescience will prevail. Justice will finally meet its measure in those with the integrity to uphold its immutable power.

Wilmington News Journal - May 11, 1980
Phillies left Red-faced again as Seaver outpitches Carlton
CINCINNATI – With six games to go, there were some subtle hints yesterday this road trip might turn into a disaster for the Phillies.
Steve Carlton, who had won his last three starts in overpowering fashion, was unable to stop the Reds, who walked away with a 5-3 victory in the nationally televised game.
What made the setback even more distasteful to the Phils was the fact they felt if ever they had a chance to get the best of Tom Seaver, that was it.
Instead, Seaver allowed only four hits and three runs over seven innings to gain his third victory in five decisions. In addition, heads-up base running kept the sixth inning alive when the Reds scored twice to take a 4-3 lead.
So, the Phils, who lost the opener of this road trip to the Reds 5-2 Friday night, must regroup. Dick Ruthven goes against Mike LaCoss here today, then it's off to Atlanta for two games, followed by three against Houston's brilliant pitching staff in the always-difficult environment oi the Astrodome.
This was an especially tough game to take," Phillies Manager Dallas Green muttered after keeping the clubhouse doors locked to reporters longer than usual. "You have to give Tom Seaver a lot of credit, but I have seen him pitch much better. It's obvious he has changed; he no longer tries to overpower the hitters."
Carlton, now 5-2, allowed only four hits and struck out 11 during seven innings. But he walked four and one of those was Seaver to start the sixth.
"Steve goes through these things (control problems) and it's just a lapse of concentration," said Green. "To me, the key was not getting the double play in the sixth. If we get that, all those things wouldn't have happened."
After Seaver walked on four pitches, Dave Collins bunted in front of the plate. Catcher Bob Boone scooped the ball up and quickly tagged Collins seconds after he left, the batter's box. Boone then threw to second, but Seaver beat the off-target throw and there was no double play.
"Seaver really hustled," said Green. "Boonie's throw wasn't that good because he and Collins jostled before he could throw."
Junior Kennedy followed with a slicing double to right field that bounced off Bake McBnde's glove as Seaver scored to pull the Reds even at 3-3.
"I thought I was going to catch up to that ball," said McBride, whose one-out homer in the fourth shattered Seaver's bid for a perfect game. "It was slicing away from me and I couldn't get enough glove on it."
Kennedy went to third on Davey Concepcion's infield out and after Carlton walked Johnny Bench on a 3-2 pitch, Ray Knight lofted a pop to shallow left-center. Larry Bowa backpedaled. but the ball bounced out of his glove for a two-base error and Kennedy scored.
"It was my play all the way " said Bowa, whose second career inside-the-park home run in the fifth had given the Phils a 2-0 lead. "I wish I had an excuse; I just missed it. It was my fault."
Bowa, who made only six errors all last season, has already committed three this year.
Concepcion's triple off reliever Tug McGraw and a wild pitch gave the Reds their fifth run.
"That run was important," said Green. "It kinda took the wind out of our sails. It meant we had to take some strikes against Hume (reliever Tom Hume) and you know as well as I do he is not going to walk anybody."
After Seaver retired 10 batters in a row, McBride lined a 1-0 pitch over the right-field fence for his first homer of the spring.
With two down in the fifth, Bowa lofted a 2-1 delivery to shallow left-center. Both Collins and center fielder Sam Mejias raced toward the ball, crashing into each other before either caught it. While they rolled on the artificial turf, the ball continued to the wall and Bowa circled the bases.
The home run was his first since July of 1978. His first inside-the-park homer came in 1972, his first major-league home run.
"I was just lucky on that today," he said. "I didn't hit the ball that well."
Carlton, who retired the first nine Reds in order before Collins beat out an infield single, walked Mejias with two out in the fifth. Dan Driessen then battled the left-hander, finally blasting a hanging curve over the right-field fence.
"That's the same pitch I would have thrown, but I would have tried to get it away from the hitter more," said Green. "You really can't fault Carlton's pitching today. He pitched a good game."
With the score tied and two out in the sixth, Schmidt blasted a two-out homer to left and the Phils were up 3-2.
Then, Carlton walked Seaver and the lead quickly vanished.
EXTRA POINTS - Bowa and Concepcion were fined $50 each by umpire Bruce Froemming for "fraternizing" behind the batting cage Friday night. "We hadn't seen each other since last year because we didn't meet in spring training," said Bowa. "We were just talking; we're friends"... The Reds have beaten the Phils 28 times in the last 35 regular-season games played at Riverfront... Carlton and Seaver have faced each other five times since Seaver came here from tile Mets and Tom holds a 3-2 edge. Overall, his record against the Phils is 26-11, best of all the active pitchers... Greg Gross played center field in place of Garry Maddox. Maddox, recovering from a sprained ankle, played Friday but Green decided to rest him yesterday.
Phils' ace Carlton is now letting his pitching do all his "talking"
CINCINNATI – In 1972, Steve Carlton won 27 games for a dreadful Phillies' team. It was the kind of season most pitchers dream of.
He won the Cy Young Award and was in demand for appearances all over the country. In most cases, he made himself available. He talked very openly about how much he believed in positive thinking and the power of concentration.
When he slumped to a 13-20 record in 1973, he was ripped in the newspapers. The reporters kept asking whatever happened to all that positive thinking. One even called him a "shot" pitcher.
Steve Carlton vowed then he'd never forget the treatment. That was the beginning of a vendetta against the print media that has reached its current stage: He will not grant any type of interview with any reporter except an occasional radio-TV type, such as former catcher and close friend Timmy McCarver.
Carlton has his reasons. Some are justified, especially those built around the cheap shots that were taken against him. Other are not justified.
Carlton is off to one of his finest starts. In fact, veteran National League baseball men compare his 5-2 record so far this season to 1972.
On April 26, he pitched the sixth one-hitter of his career, a National League record. Ted Simmons' second-inning single was the only hit St. Louis managed in the 7-0 Philadelphia victory.
Then, last Monday night, the 35-year-old veteran of 15 seasons came even closer to getting his first no-hitter. With two out in the eighth inning, Atlanta's Bill Nahorodny lined a fastball up the middle and it was over. Dale Murphy's ninth-inning homer and a single by Chris Chambliss left Carlton with a 7-1 victory.
The near-miss was his most powerful performance since 1972 when the team won only 59 games.
Yesterday, even though he lost to Tom Seaver and the Reds 5-3, Carlton pitched well. He allowed only three earned runs and four hits over seven innings.
After seven starts, he has pitched 56 innings, allowing 13 earned runs for a 2.09 earned run average. He has struck out 48 and walked 19.
Carlton has never gotten off to a 6-1 start. Each time he has been 5-1, he has lost his next decision. But on the other hand, he had been 5-1 four times and each year has won 20 or more games.
It would be interesting to talk to Carlton about this season. He is in tremendous physical condition and has been overpowering.
I consider him a friend. We talk frequently and while on road trips have sat together in coffee shops.
"You have to understand my policy," he says, many times pointing out inaccuracies and incorrect facts in newspaper stories. "Believe me, it is nothing personal, it is just best for me."
"I think I have learned a lot about Steve Carlton the last year or so," says catcher Bob Boone. Until last season, Carlton would only let McCarver catch him. "He has tremendous powers of concentration. He shuts the outside world out.
"Physically, there hasn't been a game he's pitched so far where he hasn't had two outstanding pitches. And a couple of starts, he's had all three. In the late innings, you know you're going after a no-hitter, so you're being more careful, trying to make a nasty pitch every pitch."
Carlton did not respect Danny Ozark, the former manager. They just did not communicate.
Dallas Green, a former pitcher, has a good relationship with the lefthander and Carlton respects the new manager.
"When he was going after the no-hitter last Monday, night, I thought he had it after the sixth inning," said Green. "And after he lost it, he went after the one-hitter just as hard. I got back to what I said in spring training: Lefty is in as good physical shape as I've ever seen him in his career."
Steve's best pitch is his slider. It's the best in the league, if not in all of baseball.
"The slider has been a very good pitch for me," he said late last season. "I try to make the pitch look like a strike just before it breaks down in the dirt."
"It's almost impossible to hit," says McCarver. "I really don't know how he throws it. The results speak for themselves. It starts out like a slider-sinker. Steve's ball has a little less rotation than most sliders."
Carlton, who has won 230 games with the Cardinals and Phillies, attempts to block out the real world even on days when he is not pitching. He has open contempt for inept-ness in any area of our society. His friends and teammates say his powers of concentration are uncanny.
"You can't let yourself get on that emotional roller-coaster ride over wins and losses," he told me once. "That's why you have to try and keep an even level of intensity. It becomes harder and harder rather than easier with the years.
"There are so many deviations in this game. And there is always something else going on besides baseball. So often you just have to isolate yourself from everything else to try and keep up with your goals."
And then he added: "It is very, very easy to forget your goals. And how can you succeed without goals?"
No one knows just what Steve Carlton's goals are this year, but he obviously is moving toward them.

UK smartphone penetration is up to 43% and is predicted to hit 75% by 2016 according to new research by analysts Portio Research. Unfortunately Portio were unable to predict the number of 4G devices but estimates from other surveys point to around 10% of the smartphone market will be 4G so we're at around 7.5% or some 6.3 million 4G users by 2015.
The UK had 83 million mobile subscribers at the close of 2012, that's 1.3 mobiles for every head of population and of these, 36 million were smartphones and 47 million were feature phones.
This huge market penetration means the networks have no room for revenue growth from new subscribers and are hence going to have to look elsewhere for revenue. They have several options, convert us all to smartphones by discounting smartphones and bringing in tiered pricing, yup, and start looking at M2M to supplement their revenues, yup.
Portio expects the number of smartphones in use to increase each year, with corresponding decreases in the number of non-smartphones.

Currently Bri and the Tranquil Cafe are homeless. If you go to the old address tomorrow you will probably be sent to newbie land. The owner of the sim decided to discontinue SL so all of the land that the Cafe was on will disappear when the tier is due in a day or two. Bri is busy building a new venue but she doesn't want to just slap it up it will take a week or so to get it up and ready for customers. Will let you know in the Atlas group the progress she is making.
Fantastic show last nite at the newly created En Plen Aire venue on Tranquility Falls. A good time was had by all – Skye is a great performer and I promised to reschedule him soon to the crowd!! Bri didn't think to take a pic of herself but will try to do some stylings this week to share.
She did find time to visit Uber today if item is * it's from her shopping trip!! Also to save time I am just listing items that come up on my clipboard – if you have trouble figuring out what they are send me an IM in world.

"Much anticipated movie" he says. No one cares, says I.
