The LEAD Center fosters cross-system collaboration by partnering with federal agency leaders, state and local agency policymakers, and practitioners and subject matter experts to build a progressive vision to improve the employment outcomes and economic advancement of youth and adults with disabilities. No single organization or resource is able to respond effectively to the diverse needs of each individual with a disability, and others who face multiple barriers to employment. The LEAD Center facilitates and highlights promising practices in resource coordination across systems by proactively engaging with agencies and organizations to spur systems change that translates into significant improvements in the employment and economic advancement of individuals with disabilities.

Діагор Родоський (; ? — близько 448 до н. е.) — давньогрецький атлет, відомий у кулачному бою-пигмахії, переможець Олімпійських, Істмійських, Немейських та Піфійських ігор. Засновник спортивної династії, з яких олімпіоніками було 3 сини та 2 онуки Діагора.

Життєпис
Походив з впливового династії Ератідів. Народився у м. Іалис (о.Родос). Син Дамагета, онука царя Іалиса, та знатної мессенки, предком якої був Аристомена. Присвятив себе спорту, в кулачному бою використовував свій величезний зріст, витримував удари суперника, йдучи прямо проти нього. Ця тактику була відома як «ефтімаха».

Першу перемогу він здобув на 79-й Олімпіаді в 464 році до н. е. На жаль, відсутній вичерпний перелік переможців всіх Олімпіад, тому не можна точно сказати, коли Діагор здобув свою другу перемогу. Крім того, Діагор перемагав 2 рази на Немейських, 1 — Піфійських і 4 — Ісмійських, 4 — Панеллінських іграх, не рахуючи численних перемог на місцевих змаганнях на Родосі (2 рази) та Егіні, в Афінах (багаторазово), Корінфі (4 рази), Фівах, Аргосі, Мегарах.

На честь Діагора поет Піндар склав 7 Олімпійську оду, яку було викарбувано золотими літерами в храмі Афіни в Ліндосі на о. Родос. Також статую Діагора зведено в Олімпії, автор якої був Каллікл, син відомого скульптора Феокосма. Діагор також уславився чесною ігрою, ніколи не порушував правил. Після цього решту життя мешкав на батьківщині, де оженився.

За легендою, коли Діагор був глибоким старцем у 448 році до н. е. (83-ї Олімпійські ігри), його сини знову уславилися перемогами в кулачних боях і панкратіоні. У розпал вшанування вони підійшли до батька, увінчали його сиву голову пальмовими гілками і, піднявши на плечі, понесли через натовп, що розступився. Люди захоплено кричали: «Помри, Діагор, помри! Бо тобі більше нічого бажати, хіба тільки за життя піднестися до богів на Олімп». Серце старого атлета не витримало — Діагор помер від щастя.

 Акусілай, олімпіонік з кулачного бою у 448 році до н. е.

 Доріей (Доріон), олімпіонік в панкратіоні у 432, 428, 424 роках до н. е.
 Калліпатейра, її чоловік Ференік та сини Пейседор і Евкл (404 рік до н. е. на 94-й Олімпіаді) також були олімпіоніками

Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Y.K. Sinha on Tuesday said that the governments of the two countries were closely working on the extradition case of fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya.
NEW DELHI: Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Y.K. Sinha on Tuesday said that the governments of the two countries were closely working on the extradition case of fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya.
The Indian envoy further said that liquor baron's extradition case was sub-judice and both the Indian and the U.K. governments were looking into it closely.
"The matter is sub-judice. There is not just one case; there are other cases of extradition too. Obviously both the governments are working closely on various other issues and this is just one of those issues that we are working closely on," he told the media, here.
Sinha further said that the British Immigration Minister Brandon Lewis was in India and met Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju and discussed all the issues in this regard.
Rijiju yesterday met the British Immigration Minister and said that as many as 13 extradition cases were discussed with the U.K. under the mutual legal assistance treaty.
Referring to Vijay Mallya's extradition case, Rijiju said that 'genuine efforts' were being made by both the sides in the matter.
"But at the same time, we can't also make a comment on something that is sub-judice, but the efforts are genuine," Rijiju asserted.
The Indian Government had made an extradition request in February to Britain to send back Mallya to face trial and since then the Indian Government officials have been pursuing the case of his extradition.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had earlier submitted request regarding the case against Mallya under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 and Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 for his extradition from the U.K.
Mallaya, who has been staying in the U.K. for over a year now, is accused of defaulting on loans worth Rs. 9,000 crore to a group of public sector banks in India.

Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week: Honoring Warrenville's First Teacher Seraph Warren Holmes
Seraph Warren was born to her parents Peter and Anna Warren in New York State in 1813. As a young woman in those days, she was grateful that my parents allowed her to get an education. She was given a good elementary education and trained as a teacher in New York. Her passion for education grew as she taught students on the east coast and when her aunt, uncle and cousins headed west (the Daniel and Nancy Warren family including Colonel Warren and his seven sisters), her family followed them to a settlement along the DuPage River.
Seraph Warren Holmes
Their family made a new home in the new community of Warrenville which was named after her cousin Julius. As soon as Julius's first boarding house for lodgers was built in 1835, he arranged for Seraph to take charge of the upstairs room as a schoolroom and she began teaching the children who were arriving to the growing town.
Seraph felt that all children, especially the children in the growing area of DuPage County, needed a good education to ensure that they learned how to make the community great. Seraph had a high standard of education and taught any child who wanted to learn.
Although she loved her life as an educator, on January 3, 1849, she married Albert Holmes and they began what they hoped would be a long and happy life filled with love. In those days, women were not allowed to work once they were married, so we know how much she must have loved Albert to leave her other love of teaching for him. Sadly, only five months after their wedding, Albert died tragically and suddenly of cholera while the couple was visiting Galena, Illinois. Seraph returned to Warrenville as a widow to continue her work as a teacher.
3S432 Fourth Street, once home to the Warrenville Seminary, now a private residence
On September 14, 1851, she helped open and then ran the Warrenville Seminary. The boarding school drew students from the local area, but also from as far away as Chicago and Rockford. Two of our graduates, General Frederick Starring and Dr. John Maynard Woodworth of Chicago, the first surgeon general of the United States, are just two examples of the results of the fine education the school provided students in Warrenville. The Seminary turned Fourth Street into the school's campus. Seraph's father's house, north on Fourth Street, was the boardinghouse for the boy students, while the girls slept on the second floor of the school house, which still stands at 3S432 Fourth Street and is now a private home.
Peter Warren home as seen in the 1876 DuPage Atlas, once located on north Fourth Street
After the seminary closed following the Civil War, Seraph and her mother moved to Rockford. There she opened "Mrs. Holmes School for Young Ladies," to help train new teachers. Her Rockford school would later be incorporated into Rockford College, still known for its good teaching program. After her death in 1905, her body was brought back to be buried in Warrenville. Nine years later, our great community paid her the most ultimate honor when they named the new elementary school after Seraph. The Seraph Warren Holmes School welcomed Warrenville students until 1991 when it closed.

Warrenville and the American Civil War: March 1864
March 1864 brought more sadness to those in Warrenville when two villagers passed away. On March 7th, Dan Kenyon's wife, Esther Warner Kenyon died. The Kenyons were a family of early Warrenville settlers. On the 8th, she was buried at Big Woods Cemetery.
Just one day later, Samuel Williams died suddenly in his family home at the age of 35. Samuel's father was a War of 1812 veteran who had moved his family of 8 children to Warrenville from New York in 1834. On his way west, Mr. Williams had stopped at Fort Dearborn to secure a loan of $43 which he used to purchase land on what is now known as Williams Road, named for their family farm. Samuel was the third Williams child to die since they had arrived in Warrenville. Community residents rallied around the family and did what they could to help Mrs. Williams through her grief.
The day after Samuel was buried, George Potter returned to Warrenville from his station in the war, suffering from eye problems. George was married to Hiram Leonard's former housekeeper's daughter, Elizabeth. Hiram had raised Elizabeth and her brother William Wray; George lived with Hiram while he was home on leave, as his wife had been staying with her adopted father in his absence. George's eye problems continued throughout the month, and became so severe that on March 24th he made a trip into Chicago to see an eye doctor. Many Civil War soldiers were not lucky enough to receive such care, but George, living so near to Chicago, would take return trips into the big city until his eyes healed and he was able to return to the fighting.

Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity or other adverse developmental effects; however, in rats, impaired fertility in females and decreased fetal weight occurred at doses providing systemic exposure about equivalent to and 50% greater than the usual doses recommended for humans, respectively. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy; available data indicate no malformative or fetal/neonatal toxicity.
Placental transfer to the fetus has been reported as high (cord blood/maternal delivery plasma drug ratio greater than 0.6). This drug shows rapid and effective placental transfer, achieving near equivalent levels in maternal and cord blood (cord-to-maternal-blood ratio ranging from 0.6 to 1.02).
According to some experts, this drug is not recommended for initial antiretroviral therapy for antiretroviral-naive pregnant women or for nonpregnant adults; it has greater potential for side effects, complex lead-in dosing, and low barrier to resistance. This drug should be used with caution when starting antiretroviral therapy in women with CD4 cell count greater than 250 cells/mm3. Women who tolerate nevirapine-containing regimens and become pregnant while using them can continue therapy, regardless of CD4 cell count.
The APR has received prospective reports of over 2600 exposures to nevirapine-containing regimens (over 1100 exposed in the first trimester; over 1500 exposed in the second/third trimester) resulting in live births; there was no difference between this drug and overall birth defects compared with the background birth defect rate of 2.7% in the US reference population. Enough first trimester exposures have been monitored to detect at least a 1.5-fold increased risk of overall birth defects and a 2-fold increase in cardiovascular and genitourinary defects (the more common classes); no such increases detected. The prevalence of birth defects with first trimester and second/third trimester exposures was 2.8% and 3.2%, respectively.
Severe and sometimes fatal hepatotoxicity has been reported in pregnant women receiving this drug long-term as part of a combination antiretroviral regimen. Women, especially those with CD4+ counts greater than 250 cells/mm3, have a greater risk of developing hepatotoxicity. It is not known whether pregnancy increases this risk. Close monitoring for clinical symptoms and of hepatic transaminases is recommended, especially during the first 18 weeks of therapy.
-In literature reports, exposure (Cmin) of the immediate-release formulation were up to 29% lower during pregnancy compared to postpartum; this reduction was not considered clinically significant.
-Severe hepatic events (including fatalities) reported in pregnant women using this drug chronically as part of combination therapy; regardless of pregnancy status, women with CD4+ cell counts greater than 250 cells/mm3 should not start this drug unless the benefit outweighs the risk.
-Females of reproductive potential should not use oral contraceptives as the only method for birth control; this drug may lower plasma levels of these agents.
Due to its long half-life, subtherapeutic drug levels can persist in breast milk and infant serum for relatively long periods, which may increase the risk of developing drug-resistant HIV infections when the mother uses this drug alone for prophylaxis.
Breast milk samples (n=4) were collected from 3 mothers using either 100 or 200 mg/day; milk levels averaged 76% (range: 54% to 104%) of maternal serum levels.
During labor, 21 women received a single 200 mg oral dose; milk samples were collected 48, 72, and 168 hours after dosing. Breast milk drug level was 454 mcg/L (range: 219 to 972 mcg/L) at 48 hours and declined to 103 mcg/L (range: 25 to 309 mcg/L) at 7 days postpartum; milk levels declined in parallel with maternal serum level with a half-life averaging 61 hours.
During the first 5 days in 3 women using 200 mg twice a day as part of a highly-active antiretroviral combination regimen, postpartum milk was collected just before and 2 hours after the dose of this drug. Breast milk drug levels from milk samples averaged 68% to 90% of the maternal serum level; further details regarding timing or actual breast milk levels were not provided.
Milk from 20 women using 200 mg orally twice a day as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and serum levels from their infants were analyzed at either 2 or 5 months postpartum; milk and serum samples were collected at about 4 hours (range: 1 to 8.5 hours) after the last maternal dose. The breast milk drug level averaged 6.8 mg/L; the infant serum drug level averaged 971 mcg/L (range: less than 16 to 2191 mcg/L).
Blood and milk samples were obtained from 40 women on postpartum prophylaxis (with nevirapine, lamivudine, and [zidovudine or stavudine]; doses not provided) once during the first 3 days postpartum and once at 7 days postpartum. Samples were collected after a dose at 5.3 hours (range: 0 to 99 hours) for the first sample and 6 hours (range: 4.3 to 20 hours) for the second sample. Breast milk nevirapine levels averaged 2.3 mg/L (n=34) for the first sample and 2.2 mg/L (n=36) for the second sample; these levels were 60% to 80% of the coinciding maternal serum levels.
Free and total nevirapine levels were measured in breast milk samples from 1 woman for 22 days after her last 200 mg dose, which was given as part of cART to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission. This drug was detectable in whole breast milk for up to 17 days after the last dose at levels of 12.7 and 13.3 ng/mL in the right and left breast, respectively; free drug was detectable for up to 13 days after the last dose at levels of 17.8 and 13.2 ng/mL in the right and left breast, respectively. The total drug peak level and half-life for the right and left breast were 2.742 and 2.475 mcg/mL and 69.2 and 72 hours, respectively; the free drug peak level and half-life for the right and left breast were 1.378 and 1.66 mcg/mL and 65.2 and 50.8 hours, respectively.
At 6, 12, and 24 weeks postpartum, 21 breast milk and maternal serum samples were collected from mothers using this drug (dose not provided) as part of cART; analysis showed their infants had undetectable serum nevirapine levels (times of infant plasma sampling not provided). At about 15 hours after the last dose at 6 weeks postpartum (8 samples), 13 hours after the last dose at 12 weeks postpartum (7 samples), and 12 hours after the last dose at 24 weeks postpartum (6 samples), breast milk drug levels averaged 1.3, 3.4, and 1.2 mg/L, respectively; milk levels were about 12% (interquartile range [IQR]: 0 to 30%) of maternal plasma levels. At about 15 hours after the last maternal dose at 6 weeks of age (8 samples), 13 hours after the last maternal dose at 12 weeks of age (7 samples), and 12 hours after the last maternal dose at 24 weeks of age (6 samples), infant serum drug levels averaged 584, 607, and 233 mcg/L, respectively; infant serum levels were about 12% of maternal serum levels. In a related study by the same authors, the drug milk to plasma ratio was 0.82 in 39 patients.
Starting at 34 to 36 weeks postpartum and continuing until 6 months postpartum, 58 mothers used this drug (200 mg once a day for 14 days, then 200 mg twice a day), lamivudine, and zidovudine; breast milk and serum from the mothers (who were instructed to exclusively breastfeed for 5.5 months) and serum from their 58 infants were analyzed for these drugs. Breast milk and infant serum samples were collected within 24 hours after delivery and at 2, 6, 14, and 24 weeks postpartum; breast milk was collected at various times after the previous dose. The breast milk nevirapine level across all visits averaged 4546 mcg/L; according to author estimation, a fully breastfed infant would receive 682 mcg/kg/day of this drug. At delivery and at 2, 6, 14, and 24 weeks postpartum, the infant dried blood spot nevirapine levels averaged 2963 mcg/L and 987, 1032, 734, and 303 mcg/L, respectively.
A single 200 mg dose was given to 62 women at about 5.2 hours before delivery. Breast milk was collected from each breast at delivery and 1, 2, and 6 weeks after the dose; 116 breast milk samples were collected and analyzed. Breast milk drug level averaged 1012 mcg/L (IQR: 657 to 1364 mcg/L) at delivery, 164 mcg/L (IQR: 75 to 213 mcg/L) at 1 week postpartum, and 17 mcg/L (IQR: 15 to 35 mcg/L) at 13 to 16 days postpartum; this drug was undetectable (less than 15 mcg/L) in breast milk at 6 weeks postpartum. Maternal plasma and breast milk drug levels declined with a half-life of 50.3 hours.
A single 200 mg oral dose was administered to 10 women at delivery; at 1 week postpartum, milk drug levels averaged 290 mg/L (range: 110 to 900 mg/L).
Milk samples were analyzed after mothers received a single 200 mg dose at the onset of labor. Of 51 mothers' milk samples, 47 had detectable drug 1 week after the dose (level averaged 112 mcg/L); at 2 weeks after the dose, the level averaged 15 mcg/L in 40 milk samples analyzed; at 4 weeks, this drug was undetectable (less than 10 mcg/L) in all 43 samples analyzed.
Of 58 mothers using 200 mg twice a day as part of cART, 57 provided 181 milk samples (total) at birth, 1, 3, and/or 6 months postpartum; breastfed infants of the 58 mothers had 58 blood samples (total) analyzed at 1, 3, and/or 6 months postpartum. Milk and infant blood samples were collected at about 4.5 hours (range: 3.5 to 6 hours) after the prior maternal dose and about 30 minutes (range: 20 to 60 minutes) after nursing. Breast milk drug level averaged 2901 mcg/L (range: 2097 to 4684 mcg/L). Infant plasma drug levels averaged 809 mcg/L (range: 535 to 1061 mcg/L), which was about 18% (range: 14% to 24%) of the maternal serum level.
Breast milk samples were collected at just before a dose at about 1 month postpartum from 15 women using nevirapine 200 mg twice a day (with zidovudine and lamivudine); infant blood was collected at about 1 month postpartum at 12 to 17 hours after last dose and about 1 hour (range: 6 minutes to 35 hours) after last breastfeeding from 9 of their partially or exclusively breastfed infants. Whole breast milk levels contained about 1.83 mg/L of this drug, which was about 27% of maternal blood levels; nevirapine was detectable in the serum of all 9 infants (level averaged 0.37 mg/L [range: 0.24 to 1.2 mg/L]).
From a study of 224 women who received a single 200 mg dose at delivery, 1212 breast milk samples were collected at 1 week and/or 4 weeks postpartum. At 1 week postpartum, drug was detectable in 98% of women (level averaged 0.22 mg/L); at 4 weeks, drug was not detectable in breast milk.
Breast milk samples were provided 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours after a dose by 5 HIV-infected nursing mothers using 200 mg every 12 hours. Peak and trough drug levels in breast milk averaged 5.2 mg/L (at 4 hours after dosing) and 4.3 mg/L (at 0.5 hours after dosing), respectively; 4 of their breastfed infants had serum drug levels of 529 and 556 mcg/L at 2 and 8 hours after maternal dosing, respectively.
Various pharmacokinetic parameters related to drug excretion into breast milk were calculated in 28 women using 200 mg twice a day who had genetic variations in CYP450 2B6; 3 polymorphisms in this enzyme resulted in differing amounts of drug excreted into breast milk, apparently related to differences in maternal plasma levels; these differences reflected variable infant plasma drug levels.
A study compared breastfed infants of women who received highly-active antiretroviral therapy with this drug (n=270) to a regimen that contained nelfinavir (n=206) as an alternative (both regimens contained zidovudine and lamivudine). Moderate rash was slightly more common in infants receiving this drug (than nelfinavir) via breast milk; no differences observed in the rates of severe rash, liver toxicity, or hyperbilirubinemia.
A study compared the frequency of rash, hepatotoxicity, and hyperbilirubinemia among 464 breastfed infants whose mothers were taking either this drug (n=258) or nelfinavir (n=206) with zidovudine and lamivudine for HIV infection during pregnancy and postpartum; infants were examined during postpartum weeks 1, 2, and 6. Moderate rash was reported in 7 infants exposed to this drug and 1 infant exposed to nelfinavir; rash developed at about 2 weeks postpartum. Hepatotoxicity developed in 4 infants exposed to nelfinavir and none exposed to this drug. High-risk hyperbilirubinemia occurred in 21 infants (all prior to 48 hours of age), but there was no difference in exposure between the 2 drugs.

Riverfront Park Neighborhood Opens Up Public Space for Events

The Riverfront Park Association wants to open its neighborhood to more events.
Riverfront Park Denver Facebook page
The Riverfront Park neighborhood, sandwiched between downtown Denver and Lower Highland, is opening up Commons Park and the plaza underneath the Millennium Bridge for events.
After two years of planning, the Riverfront Park Association has put out a call to attract street performers, food trucks and movie nights to increase foot traffic in the neighborhood. The association, a homeowners' group, represents fifteen buildings and several thousand residents who have moved into the neighborhood, one of the newest in Denver.
The group's president, Don Coen, says the plan is akin to what the Civic Center Conservancy has done with Civic Center Park. But Commons Park, a green oasis in the middle of some major construction, is operated under a different legal standard than Civic Center Park. A conservation easement that protects the natural environment prevents the space from hosting large concerts, organized sporting events or other activities that would disrupt local ecology.

"When Commons Park was designed back in the '90s, it was envisioned as a place of passive recreation – not a traditional children's playground, not a baseball diamond," Coen says. "It was going to be an urban oasis for quiet contemplation."
Had urban planners known what the neighborhood would become, Coen suspects the park would have not adopted a conservation-easement structure, though he does appreciate the tranquility it brings.
"I think if we were to start from scratch, we might look at the park a little more differently," he acknowledges.
The homeowners' association is working with the Greenway Foundation, which holds the conservation easement, and the City of Denver, which owns the land, to ensure that whatever events take place are up to code.
More events and more people would increase safety and give residents something to do in their own neighborhood, Coen says. Although he hopes people from around the city will come in for events, he says they will be discouraged from doing so by car, because of the neighborhood's already strained parking situation.
In recent years, the city has seen development boom along the Platte River, both downtown and in the River North neighborhood. The redevelopment of the National Western Stock Show, also along the river, promises to transform how the Platte serves as a centerpiece of the city.
"This change is extraordinary," says Coen, a lifelong Denver resident. "I am very proud of where I live, and I'm proud of our city. When I see this activity from the National Western Center down to RiNo to where we are and further south, it's just like a string of pearls."
He likens the development of the Platte River to the River Walk in San Antonio, which runs through that Texas city's downtown. "It's rather Disneyesque and cool," he says.
Kyle Harris quit making documentaries and started writing when he realized that he could tell hundreds of stories in the same amount of time it takes to make one movie. Now, hooked on the written word, he's Westword's Culture Editor and writes about music and the arts.

Luisa Kuliok  (b. Buenos Aires, 20 March 1953) is an Argentine actress of theater, film and television.

Career
From the age of five, she studied acting and did her first play in a school production when the lead was sick. Later, she studied with Agustín Alezzo and in 1976, the same year she married, she had her professional debut. Kuliok is often credited as being the first international Argentine telenovela star. Her work in La extraña dama in 1989 was shown, became a hit in Italy and opened doors for the Argentine industry to expand into new markets. It also led to her being offered a role in Más allá del horizonte (Beyond the Horizon) replacing Gina Lollobrigida. Kuliok worked primarily in television and telenovelas until 1994. The economic crisis that occurred in the ten years between 1994 and 2004 caused her to branch out into other entertainment venues. In 2006, she was nominated for an ACE Award for her role in the theater production of Del Antiguo Oriente and in 2010, she was nominated for her performance in El alma inmoral.

Home Video Hovel- New York Stories, by David Bax
by · June 8, 2012
In almost every case, the omnibus film is an animal more interesting in conception than in execution. You get various ruminations on the same topic or theme. You get a bigger cast, which often means more stars. And you get plenty of talented filmmakers in one sitting. For these reasons, I've sat down to watch multiple examples of this kind of film with high hopes, from Four Rooms to 11'09"01 September 11. Invariably, though, I am reminded that this approach is by its nature going to be uneven. The films are electrified in their best segments and tedious in most others.
1989's New York Stories is almost perfectly exemplary of the mixed-bag effect of these movies. It contains one great film, one decent film and one awful film.
The film begins with Martin Scorsese's entry, "Life Lessons," which is the great film. It opens to the strains of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," as we watch a man in a huge loft painting on an enormous canvas. Or, more correctly, that man is not painting on the canvas. Lionel Dobie (Nick Nolte), a noted and successful New York artist, is experiencing some kind of creative block. Soon we begin to get an idea why. His assistant, Paulette (Rosanna Arquette), used to also be his lover. Now she's not anymore but she still occupies a room in his loft. We spend the course of the film watching Lionel become ever more jealous and despondent while using those emotions to rekindle his fervor for his work. Meanwhile, we experience Paulette's more pragmatic but no more or less deeply felt troubles. Can she, as an aspiring artist, manage to make it in New York? To what extent can she tolerate Lionel in order get her foot in the art world? To what extent should she do so? Watching it again for the first time in years, I was struck by how much of the story is Paulette's. Nolte is, as he should be, dominant in the frame and in his wounded bear presence. But it's Arquette with whom we're meant to relate. I'll take this opportunity to mention how nice Mill Creek's Blu-ray looks and sounds. You can pick out individual ripples of paint in the brushstrokes and "A Whiter Shade of Pale," though it's not a song that really rocks, benefits from being played loud.
The second section belongs to Francis Ford Coppola and it's the awful one. If you've heard anything about New York Stories, you've either heard that "Life Lessons" is wonderful or that "Life Without Zoë" is atrocious. Essentially a contemporary fairy tale, the story concerns Zoë (Heather McComb), the young daughter of a very wealthy flute soloist (Giancarlo Giannini) and his ex-wife, a photographer (Talia Shire). Zoë's goals in the film are to return to an Arab princess a diamond that was stolen from her father's safe-deposit box; get her parents back together; and buy and wear a lot of expensive clothing. It's not a repellent premise, actually. It's just that Coppola (using a screenplay co-written with his then teenage daughter Sofia) hits every note incorrectly. There could be a hook in portraying the precocity of young rich kids playacting the roles of high society fixtures for which they are destined but nothing of substance comes of it. Sure, the shot where a team of waiters present a table of babies with flaming Baked Alaskas is funny but I don't think in the way Coppola intended. Meanwhile, the film is unable to maintain any consistent tone. At some times, we're watching intentionally garish crowd scenes reminiscent of the days of Technicolor. In the next, we're seeing the safe-deposit box robbery (featuring Chris Elliott!) presented as a hard-boiled, Dutch-angled noir. The performances, from tyro McComb to pro Shire, are hollow and clanging. The entire enterprise is a misfire.
Perhaps the relief at the conclusion of "Life Without Zoë" is what leads some to overvalue Woody Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks," which is merely decent. Allen stars as a man named Sheldon who has a harping, disapproving mother (Mae Questel) who disappears one day. At first, Sheldon is distraught but then he comes to enjoy the emotional freedom he's experiencing. Then, one day, his mother reappears enormous in the sky, looming over Manhattan. She continues her chiding ways for all the city to see and hear. The idea of the typically neurosis-obsessed Allen writing a story with such an unsubtle metaphoric device almost seems like a joke someone else made. Still, it's full of good comedy and Julie Kavner as a psychic whom Sheldon visits is absolutely terrific.
I first owned New York Stories on VHS more than a decade ago and I rarely revisited it. With the technology of DVD and Blu-ray, though, the reliably unreliable omnibus film can be saved from itself. "Oedipus Wrecks" will always be there if you want a laugh or two, "Life Without Zoë" can be excised completely from the viewing experience and "Life Lessons" can remain on your shelf for easy, repeated reference as it should.

Brad Pitt, Horror, Ryan Reynolds and China: The Summer's Biggest Winners and Losers
The summer of 2013 crowned a new king, and his name isn't Tom Cruise
Lucas Shaw | August 12, 2013 @ 7:32 PM	Last Updated: July 16, 2014 @ 3:39 PM
The press loves sex, death and failure – so it's no surprise entertainment writers spent the summer selling stories of outsized box-office flops. Lost millions? Angry movie stars? We're all in.
Yet industry experts say the Schadenfreude is overblown: Research by Screen Engine CEO Kevin Goetz shows the ratio of hits to misses is consistent with years past.

"Given the large number of releases, I don't see this summer behaving any differently than any other summer," said Goetz, who's been analyzing films and advising executives for more than two decades.
What's the deal? Has it been a good summer or a bad one?

Depends on how you're feeling today. Optimists note that the box office is on pace for record grosses — and that fans are embracing Hollywood's expensive event films. Pessimists say the records are empty because tickets are more expensive and sales remain flat.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a more black-and-white way of breaking it down?
There is — and you're reading it — TheWrap's winners and losers of Summer 2013:
WINNER: Horror.
"The Purge" cost $3 million to make and grossed $80 million at the global box office. "The Conjuring" cost $19 million to make and has already made more than $140 million worldwide. Paramount just announced it will release not one but two "Paranormal Activity" movies next year.
Do we need to continue? The strategy is clear: make a movie for nothing, market it inexpensively but effectively and walk home a millionaire. If any studio but Disney fails to at least dabble in the genre, they are foolish.
Also read: 'The Purge': Why Doesn't Everyone Make $3M Movies That Open to $36M?
LOSER: Original Movies.
All of the summer's biggest flops had one thing in common — they weren't sequels. "White House Down," "The Lone Ranger," "R.I.P.D." — all original, or at least claimed to be.
Studios enter every summer hoping they'll have a new franchise or two on their hands by August. This summer, they were banking on lavish productions such as "World War Z" and "Pacific Rim," but even those well-received films have unclear futures because they cost so much.
Production costs always rise for a sequel to a successful movie, and when you start with a $200 million budget, sequels look darn expensive. Besides "Man of Steel," the two movies that will certainly spawn a second are "Now You See Me" and cheapie "The Purge."
Also read: Bombs! Flops! Duds! How the Summer Box Office Could Still Be Biggest Ever
WINNER: Brad Pitt.
"World War Z" was the summer's biggest disaster that never happened. Reporters spent more than a year picking apart the production – its big budget, its inexperienced director, its late entrance to the zombie party.
Yet a funny thing happened when audiences actually sat down to watch the movie: They liked it. The movie went on to gross more than $500 million across the globe, validating Paramount's decision to delay the movie and conduct reshoots and Pitt's commitment to the project.
Think about Pitt's career arc. He was a movie star before he ever made a big summer movie; had to take more challenging roles to demonstrate his chops; and only then took his biggest bet as both an actor and producer – starring in a $200 million zombie movie that he wanted his kids to be able to watch. Lucky for him — nay, thanks to him — it worked.
LOSER: Ryan Reynolds.
He starred in "R.I.P.D.," one of the summer's biggest misses. It hasn't even recouped half of what it cost to make. He also lent his voice to the eponymous swift snail in "Turbo," a movie that DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenebrg labeled a disappointment – while promising it would be profitable.
Those movies weren't just both disappointments. They opened the same weekend.
If there's one silver lining in this for Reynolds, it's that Hollywood might stop pretending he's a movie star who can carry a summer blockbuster. Put him in romantic comedies like 'The Proposal" or raunchy romps like "Van Wilder." Give him quality supporting roles. Push him with a drama. Stop pretending he's something he's not.
WINNER: China.
There was no more consistent storyline than the Chinese government's domination of American movie studios, who bent over backwards to secure releases and make scenes censor-friendly. But even when studios tried their damnedest, China eagerly rejected films anyway.
The explosion of the homegrown film industry in China is also cause for consternation in Hollywood executives' suites, as Chinese films — by way of release manipulation — have constituted more than 50 percent of box office grosses this year.
And then there's that pesky issue of payments — as in, studios haven't received any for months from China, which is trying to impose a 2% luxury tax on box-office receipts. Just another indication that the republic has the upper hand.

LOSER: 3D.
Yeah yeah yeah, foreign audiences are eating up 3D. They also like Nutella and David Hasselhoff. There's just one problem: American audience are already over it.
Ticket sales for 3D versions of films like "The Wolverine" and "Turbo" hit new lows this summer, as 75 percent of viewers opted to see "Turbo" in regular old 2D. Or, as "the World's End" director Edgar Wright put it at Comic-Con, in "sexy 2D."
3D has existed since the beginning of cinema, and every so often Hollywood brings it back to tantalize viewers with something that seems new. In reality, it's never been more than a fad.
Winner: CAA.
Put away the claws everybody — maybe they CAAN after all. Take a look at most of this summer's biggest hits — "Iron Man 3," "Fast & Furious 6," "Man of Steel," "Despicable Me 2" — and there's one common factor — the death star.

The highest-grossing movie of the summer was "Iron Man 3," which starred Robert Downey Jr. The second highest-grossing movie of summer was "Fast & Furious 6," a franchise resuscitated by director Justin Lin and starring Vin Diesel. The third highest-grossing movie of summer was "Despicable Me 2," which further bolstered the credentials of producer Chris Melendandri and his Illumination Entertainment. The fourth highest-grossing movie of summer was Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel," which turned Henry Cavill into Superman.
Everyone listed above is represented by one place — CAA.
LOSER: The Future.
"Man of Steel," "Pacific Rim," "World War Z," "This is the End" and "The World's End" all had something in common – they imagined the end of the world — and it ain't pretty. These movies weren't alone, either. People love to criticize Hollywood for being unoriginal, and here's one point where the objection is spot-on: Almost every week this summer a new movie opened in which the apocalypse either occurred or was imminent. That included a pair of comedies.
WINNER: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson looked like aging men trying to play juvenile in "The Internship" while audiences grew tired of "The Hangover" franchise. The one comedy that was undeniably fresh this summer was "This is the End," the tale of the rapture told through the eyes of six foul-mouthed celebrities.
Rogen and Goldberg, who previously wrote hit comedies "Superbad" and "Pineapple Express," made their directorial debut with this film, and its $96.5 million domestic return ensured that every studio in town will be calling their name as writers, producers and directors (they've already set up projects at three).

LOSER: Jerry Bruckheimer.
Few in Hollywood had a rougher summer than Bruckheimer. "The Lone Ranger" was the year's biggest flop, but because Bruckheimer doesn't fail, everyone pounced when he finally did. There was no hiding from the film's miserable result, which will cost parent company Disney as much as $200 million.
Now, as TheWrap reported last week, Bruckheimer may lose final cut on the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" film and is almost certain to see the terms of his braoder deal with Disney change when his contract expires next year.

As one prominent producer told TheWrap: "It's sad. It feels like they are throwing him under the bus."
But let's be real. It'll take more than one miss to bring down Bruckheimer, the guy behind Disney's "Pirates" juggernaut and countless TV hits, including the "CSI" franchise.
Winner: Warner Bros. (DC Comics Edition).
Put aside your personal opinion of "Man of Steel" as a film — because as business it was one of the summer's most important successes. It successfully rebooted Superman, affording Warner Bros. innumerate opportunities with the DC universe, beginning with a "Man of Steel" sequel — and as the studio revealed at Comic-Con, that film will also include Batman.
That sets the table for a "Justice League" film, and then subsequent movies for Wonder Woman, the Flash and other members of the comic book universe's first super team.
Also read: Why 'Man of Steel' Holds the Key to Warner Bros.' Future Franchises
Loser: Warner Bros. (Executive Edition).
The implosion of Jeff Robinov was bad for the studio, bad for Robinov and bad for the industry. Warner Bros. had long been the most stable studio in town, and had a talent-friendly guy in Robinov securing a stable of directors led by Ben Affleck and Christopher Nolan.
Yet once Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes picked Kevin Tsujihara to take stewardship of Warner Bros. (over Robinov and TV chief Bruce Rosenblum), Robinov threw a hissy fit.
Now a very talented executive is out of a job — and Warner Bros. replaced him with another triumvirate of leaders. 'Cause that worked so well there the last time.

Day Trade Recap: He Who End Day Green, End Day Happy! +$5,150!
What's up everyone? All right. So here we are. Monday morning. Another great day of trading. Finishing the day up about $5,000 and this month has just been incredible, 29,000 last Wednesday, $29,000 on Thursday, $8,000 on Friday, $5,000 here on Monday. So when we're in that kind of market, I mean, you can see, just look into calendar, it's like big day after big day after big day.
It's a reminder of what January looked like. January was 11,000, 6,000, 9,000, 18,000, 9,000, 8,400, 5,500, 7,500. I mean, back to back, it was everyday was a four or five figure day. I didn't have a single day that wasn't at least four figures and I had several five figure days.
So where is it going to bounce? Where is it going to curl and start to go back up and I'm not sure. But of course, I can idle and grind on $5,000 a day. I'm totally okay with that. But this morning, with only $2,000 in the first 30 minutes, I sort of was like, "Well, maybe today is the just to stop." But then BLNK opened up, bounced back up. Got over the VWAP, squeezed up to $4 and that was the one that made my day. So finishing the day up five grand. I'm excited. So we're going to break down all of today's trades in today's midday market recap.
All right. So we'll break down every trades from this morning. Overall, another awesome day of trading, really good follow through for the most part, finishing the day up $5,150.50. Another great day, I mean, really, just the month of May so far has been fantastic. I guess right now I'm up right around $67,000 on the month and it's only the fourth day of the month, so actually it's the fifth day of the month, so in any case that's really good. So writing this in the calendar. $5,150.50, 80th trading day of the year. Really solid. So you can see the PnL today. BLNK, VVPR, those are the two that I traded. This trade on L, this was actually a typo. I made a mistake and took 100 shares, covered it for a $7 loss so that one's not an actual trade. But these are the two that I focused on.
BLNK, we were watching this pre-market. This was on our watch list. It was on the gap and go watch list this morning. We had a little bit of a gap here. There was news on it, a partnership or, I mean, not partnership but a contract with Whole Foods for their charging stations to be at some of the locations. So right away, we knew this was in place with a catalyst, low float and the daily chart, you could see this big blue box, we had this window from 3.29 all the way up to 8.50. So once we got above 3.29, we knew there was a lot of potential. So my very first trade on this was right out of the gates, long at … These were some test orders pre-market. Long at 2.10, 2.15, selling at 2.27, 2.23. So kind of a small, 5,000 share scalp, about $500 on the very first trade.
I was watching it at $2 but I wasn't quick enough to get in. So I got in at 2.10. I was okay chasing this one a little bit, pre-market high was 2.20. So pretty nice move there. Popped up to a high of 2.35 and then pulled back. We also had a first one-minute candle to make a new high which was right here. I anticipated that and I added at 2.10 and again at 2.26 and 2.26 for the first one-minute candle to make a new high.
The actual candle to make a new high was at 25. I got in early anticipating it as we bounced off $2. So this drop down to $2 and then there was like a 20,000 share bid at 2. So as it started to curl back up, I jumped in at 2, what was it, 2.11 and 2.13. Added at 2.26. Squeezed up. We hit a high of 2.35. I'm scaling out on at 2.33 on the ask and then I hit the bid at 2.27 and sold the rest at 2.23 and 2.22.
So after those trades, I was up about 1,200 bucks or something like that. So making a little bit of money, not a big five or $6,000 winner in one trade but some profits. We'd pull back a little bit, some consolidation. My next trade was at 33. I guess I did a scalp back in this area at 22 and sold at 34, 32. So a small little scalp there. I don't think I made a lot on it. So a little bit of kind of consolidation there. Then VVPR comes up.
VVPR was strong last Thursday, Wednesday and Thursday and so I decided to take a trade on it but I didn't feel like it was going to be the easiest one to trade. I jumped in long at 36 and 40 and added at 40. So I had 13,800 shares, jumping in as it was squeezing up. It hit a high of 55. I was selling at 54 and then 48 and 44. So taken some profit on it. It dropped own. It came back up.
There are a couple of other little scalp opportunities on this one at 55, right in this area. We hit a high of 58 so that wasn't a very big winner. Another little consolidation here for the break over the half dollar. Tapped a high of 60 but didn't really hold up very well. So this one was giving us these false breakouts, the pop up, the drop down, the pop up, the drop down. I was profitable on it but not as much as maybe I would have liked. So $1,300 on that one.
Then we went back to BLNK and noticed that it was suddenly squeezing up. It kind of consolidated sideways, dropped down and then out of nowhere, boom, it pops up right here. I was tempted to jump right in as soon as I saw it squeezing up and then I said, "No, hold on a second. Just let's look at your PnL today." I'm up about $2,600 which means this is the slowest day in the last four days of trading.
Wednesday, I made 30 grand, Thursday I made 30 grand. Friday I made 8,500. So here on Monday, being up only $2,000 in the first 15 minutes, I kind of was just like, "You know what," actually this is past the first half hour. This was at 10am. So I was sort of like, "You know what, I should go slow, because if I get in this and chase it, I could give back that profit really quickly. So I hesitated. Ended up squeezing and halting on a circuit breaker and I didn't get in.
Then resumes higher and squeezes up. I jumped in this at 2.43 and 2.52 and sold at 2.57. So 7,500 shares. A little bit of a scalp there into the squeeze. We then have a high of 2.60. So I jumped in for the one-minute micro pullback adding at 2.55, 2.54, 2.58, selling at 2.63 and 2.58. Small little scalp there. Nothing to be super excited about. It then go sideways in through this area, it's kind of grinding up and I just didn't feel like I could get a really good entry on it. You can see here, this is a spot I could have been watching a little bit more carefully, 2.77. Because when it finally broke over that level, it squeezed up pretty at 3.05. I was watching it but I just wasn't sure. I thought it seemed extended. But it ended up working.
So it goes from 2.77 to 3.05 without me. I jumped in at 3.24, 3.31 and 3.44 or 3.40, as it started to open up here into this next leg. So this was the pullback. Then into this leg, I was adding. Hit a high of 57 and I'm taking profit into that squeeze. So that was a good like $1,500 winner. Then from that point, I'm just scalping these breakouts. So I'm buying the pullbacks, selling into the squeeze. Buying the pullback, selling into the squeeze. My final trade was right in here, buying the first five-minute to make a new high at 83 and then I finally got stopped out down here at 55. So I gave back $1,000 on that last trade, in it 83 with 5,000 shares and stopping out 56.
But you know what, I pushed it today basically until I had that first red trade. I took 13 trades today and I had 12 winners in a row before that first loss. So that's really the way I like to trade, to be aggressive, to push hard, dig deep and then when I do have that loser at that point, I say, "Okay, I'm going to throw in the towel and be done for the day." So that's where we're at here. 80th day of the year, averaging $3,387 per day. Sitting at $270,000 of profit. So I'm $393,000 from my million dollar goal. That means I need to average, let's see, I need to average about $2,600 per day for the rest of this year if I'm going to hit that goal. So since I've been averaging 3,300 per day, if I average 2,600, I'll be there. It's within reach. $2,600 is a high average. It doesn't mean I can just sit back and relax.
I've still got to be really, really focused and obviously if I have a red streak where I have two weeks in a row, they're red or I have a really big loss, that could set me back. That could bring down my daily average and then it will be hard to get back up. So it's one of these things where once you start to fall behind, it can be really hard to catch back up. So I just want to try to keep up, stay on pace and today was another day above the average. Any day that I'm above $2,600 is the day that I can give myself a pat on the back and feel good and it's a day that will help me down the road when I do have that inevitable red day or the inevitable day where I make only maybe a couple hundred dollars instead of several thousand.
All right. So let's see. So that's about it for me today. Like I said, another solid day of trading and will be back at it first thing tomorrow morning, 9, 9:15 for pre-market analysis. Yeah, Louise, I didn't trade in my IRA today. BLNK just moved a little too fast and just didn't happen. So that's all right. I'll get the IRA maybe later this week. All right. So anyone with questions or comments on Facebook or YouTube, feel free to put them in the below the video and I'll get back and answer them later today. All right. I'll see you guys in the morning. If you're still watching, you must have really enjoyed that video. So why not subscribe and get email alerts anytime I upload new content.
