Matia Anne Karrell (* nach 1950 in Boston, Massachusetts) ist eine US-amerikanische Filmregisseurin, Filmproduzentin und Filmschaffende libanesischer Herkunft, die 1989 gemeinsam mit Abbee Goldstein für einen Oscar nominiert war.

Biografie
Karrell wurde in Boston als Tochter libanesischer Eltern geboren. Ihr schwebte eine Karriere als moderne Tänzerin vor, weshalb sie am Tanzprogramm der Harvard University teilnahm. Im Anschluss daran zog sie nach New York, wo sie ihre Ausbildung fortsetzte und zusammen mit Robert Wilson an der Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) auftrat. Karrell erhielt eine Reihe von renommierten Stipendien, darunter das Fulbright-Stipendium, das Wells Directing Fellowship, das Women Director's Fellowship des American Film Institute (AFI) und das Disney-ABC Directing Fellowship.

Ihr Regiedebüt gab Karrell mit dem Kurzfilm Cadillac Dreams. Sie war auch am Drehbuch beteiligt und trat als Produzentin auf. Im Film geht es um zwei Brüder, von denen einer Drogendealer und der andere drogenabhängig ist, und deren Träume von vornherein zum Scheitern verurteilt sind. Eine Oscarnominierung war der Lohn für Karrells Arbeit. Die Trophäe ging jedoch an Dean Parisot und Steven Wright und ihren Film The Appointments of Dennis Jennings. Der Film zeigt einen Tagträumer, eben Jennings, der sich Hilfe von einem Psychiater erhofft, aber das Gegenteil findet.

Bei ihrem ersten Spielfilm Behind the Red Door – Das verlorene Paradies mit Kiefer Sutherland, Kyra Sedgwick und Stockard Channing von 2003 trat Karrell als Regisseurin, Co-Autorin und Produzentin auf. In dem Familiendrama, das mit Rückblenden arbeitet, ist der Bruder einer Fotokünstlerin HIV-positiv und hat nur noch kurze Zeit zu leben. Die Familie versucht, die familiäre Vergangenheit aufzuarbeiten. Der Film wurde beim Rhode Island International Film Festival ausgezeichnet und war unter den Finalisten bei den PEN Center USA Literary Awards. Für eine Folge der amerikanischen Fernsehserie The West Wing – Im Zentrum der Macht, die den Arbeitsalltag des amerikanischen Präsidenten und seiner Berater zum Inhalt hat, war Karrell 2006 verantwortlich. Auch für die Dramaserie Army Wives, die von vier Frauen und einem Mann handelt, deren jeweiliger Ehepartner bei der Army sind, drehte sie 2010 eine Folge.

Karrell ist Mitglied der Directors Guild of America, der Writers Guild of America, der Women in Film and Television International, des American Film Institute und der Alliance of Women Directors. Sie arbeitet auch als Diplom-Filmlehrerin am Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

The mission of our Roman Catholic Schools is to promote excellence in education–both spiritually and academically–for the whole person, thereby nourishing the gifts uniquely given to each by God.
Holy Family Catholic School recognizes that each child is a gift from God and that each child has unique gifts given by God. Each child learns differently and requires that teachers know how best to share information, develop critical thinking, and nourish academic development. Our teachers are skilled at differentiating their instruction to meet the varying needs of each child in the classroom.
Title I services are available for students who need extra reading support in grades K-5. Our highly qualified Title I reading teacher, Mrs. Kathy Helbling, provides research-based instructional strategies in a small group, pull-out session to enhance the lessons that the classroom teacher is imparting to students. Teachers collaborate with Mrs. Helbling to ensure that the Title I program is complementary to the general education curriculum.
Volunteer teachers are members of the Student Support Team (SST) at HFCS. These teachers work with classroom teachers who bring academic conunudrums to the group. They confer, collaborate, examine data, and discuss strategies that the classroom teacher could implement to bring success to the student(s). The SST is then willing and able to support the teacher in the implementation of new strategies as well as keeping data on the efficacy of the new efforts.
Sometimes, a situation requires more intense intervention. The SST can refer teachers to the Intervention team, which consists of highly trained teachers who can provide one-on-one and/or small group intervention to students who are not responding positively to whole classroom or individualized strategies. The intervention team will collaborate individually with teachers to ensure that students' needs are being met appropriately.
Tuition assistance is available at Holy Family Catholic School through several funding options. This assistance program allows families to apply for reduced tuition that is right for their financial situation.

Home NEWS UPDATE ED Raids IFFCO, Its MD In Alleged Money Laundering Case
ED Raids IFFCO, Its MD In Alleged Money Laundering Case
Ria Nair
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 15th October 2020 searched the premises of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) and its MD US Awasthi. The searches were conducted in connection with a case of money laundering registered by the ED for alleged irregularities in the cooperative's financial transactions.
IFFCO has been under the scanner of central agencies since 2011, when its then chairman Surinder Jakhar died in mysterious circumstances at a farmhouse, with his body found riddled with bullets and police claiming it to be a case of accidental fire. Jakhar was the son of Congress leader Balram Jakhar.
A reference sent to CBI and ED by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) then had alleged irregularities in procurement of raw material for fertiliser from certain foreign countries. Awasthi was then the MD of IFFCO and continues to hold the post.
In 2018, the government had informed Lok Sabha that it had asked CBI to probe IFFCO and Awasthi for various irregularities. The latter was also to be probed for alleged money laundering, the government had said.
IFFCO's transactions with three companies based in Dubai, Switzerland and Singapore were red-flagged by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA) to the US financial watchdog, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
In July 2014, an SAR filed by DBTCA flagged 14 transactions of IFFCO involving transfers and remittances worth $18.46 million. The SAR cited "negative information found on the MD and CEO of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited for potential money laundering".
On August 7, 2018, government had told Lok Sabha that CBI had been asked to probe complaints — received between 2013 and 2017 — related to the cases of corruption and irregularities against IFFCO officials, including its MD U S Awasthi and his family members.
"Department of Fertilisers has referred various complaints pertaining to corruption and irregularities in IFFCO to CBI for enquiry/reports and the same are awaited," then Minister of State for Fertilisers Rao Inderjit Singh had said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
The cases, which the fertiliser ministry had asked CBI to probe, are related to alleged money laundering by the IFFCO managing director, his sons, relatives and friends associated with the cooperative, Inderjit had said.
They also relate to alleged grabbing of the guest house and posh bungalow by Awasthi in an illegal and unlawful manner, subsidy fraud by opening Kisan International Trading, earning huge illegal commission in imports of raw materials and finished fertilisers thereby creating huge loss to the society, the minister had added.
The minister had further mentioned that the cases to be probed also include alleged "illegal extension of Awasthi's term of superannuation beyond the age of 65 years, increasing his remuneration and other functional directors, seeking favours from political parties by extending donations in a camouflaged way in violation of Multi State Cooperative Societies Act (MSCS), 2002".
The cases are also related to alleged defrauding the government by manipulating sales and claiming higher subsidy, illegally inducting kith and kin on suitable posts in IFFCO by Awasthi and misusing resources and facility of the cooperative, he had added.
Besides, the cases also involve alleged gross mismanagement of funds along with siphoning off money and fabricating balance sheet by IFFCO, wrong disclosures in violation of established accounting practices and misleading the stakeholders, especially the banks, by IFFCO.
The complaints also include manipulation of Multi State Cooperative Societies Act, further manipulating bye-laws of society and illegal repatriation of the government equity by IFFCO Board, the minister had said.
Kamal Verma, Senior Executive Director, IFFCO, had said: "We are not aware about any transaction made by IFFCO worth over $18 million during March 2014 to June 2014, which were red-flagged as suspicious in 2014. We confirm that there has not been any instance of financial irregularity, siphoning of money or money laundering."
"In case details of $18 million transaction are provided, relevant information for the same can be made available to substantiate the genuineness of such payments. During the referred period of March 2014 to June 2014, all payments against imports were made through authorized banks like State Bank of India, HSBC, RBS, Kotak Mahindra Bank, etc. against submission of documents…and the bankers release/remit the payments to the overseas suppliers only after effecting due diligence with respect to the authenticity of the transaction and the suppliers. The Board of Directors of IFFCO has approved an elaborate procedure for the purchase of raw materials and finished products. The Commercial Department initiates necessary actions for the procurement of such material. All such proposals are being reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Managing Director& CEO is not directly involved in the procurement/purchase of raw materials," he further said.

Subj: The Cold Equations
I'd be interested in seeing what changes you made from the earlier version of this, whose ideas I shamelessly borrowed (along with those of other interesting bits to hand, such as the then-unpublished essays in BETTER THAN ONE) the summer I taught SF at Emerson College.
(I had been hoping to sharpen — or at least awaken — the students' critical senses by giving them some sense of the motivations behind the writing of SF. This aroused one furious complaint about artistic integrity (when I mentioned that some SF was created to fit a pre-existing cover rather than the other way around) a great deal of apathy, and an exam response that MISSION OF GRAVITY was about how bugs were taking over the universe and people did not like bugs. "Hal Clement" had the grace to be amused when I told him this.)
The points are just as valid now, although the debate has gotten much nastier as the right has tried to push personal responsibility regardless of circumstances (c.f., for instance, smoking) or the impossibility of fixing/preventing all dangers, and the arguments of ]the left[ often appear to assume malice (rather than greed or even simple incompetence) in every unfortunate outcome. Somebody could have a fascinating time trying to follow the competing threads of "We can do anything" vs "Sometimes things just happen" and who takes which argument under which circumstance. (Yes, I know, any party will take any convenient argument and ignore the rest….)
You may be amused to know that I fell on your page from Tony's recommendation (during a discussion of foods for bid parties) of your list of ten worst foods, to which we considered adding creamed chipped flamingo on toast. (Have you webbed somewhere your apa reprint of the military recipe for SoS for several hundred?)
Some one of these days I am going to revise that essay. I ran it in usenet a while back, cross posted on rec.arts.books and rec.arts.sf.misc. It provoked a quite spectacular foodfight in which yours truly gave as hot as he got. I don't know as I would classify this one as a right vs left, so much as a hard vs soft.
The thread started 2/7/97 under the title "The Cold Equations" and ran for several hundred comments. I have copies of all of my postings. I will append one of them – it is an early exchange which framed one of the discussions. I started a new web page (not completed) which I haven't completed. However for your convenience I have put it up on my web site – the URL is https://richardhartersworld.com/~cri/1999/coldeq.html. One of things that was fascinating about the defenses of the story were some of the recurring themes. These include:
(1) Criticizing the story means that you defend the "modern" notion that people have a right to be stupid and not suffer the consequences.
(2) Any one who criticizes the story doesn't really understand the moral issue involved.
(3) Certain metaphors were repeatedly advanced. These include people getting killed because they ignore warning signs at train stops, conditions in military units (to one chap the entire world is the inside of a nuclear sub), conditions on ships two centuries ago, the lifeboat scenario, and really bizarre arguments about passenger liners.
As a side note the physics of TCE are rather better than they appear; SF fans are good at working out hypothetical physics.
In any event one of the interesting things about the story and the discussion that ensued is the illumination of attitudes.
Your students were, ah, naive. If you're browsing through my pages you might search out "The Death of Fiction" and "Image of the Book" – look for links to them on the literature page or the essays/original stuff page. The Death of Fiction is a review of (non-existent) collection of essays on, surprise, the death of fiction. You might be amused by the argument that capricious irrelevant constraints are a necessary feature of art.
I don't recall having put the recipe for SoS by the hundreds in one of my Apas. I will have to dig it out for my recipes page.

Subj: Web site
Very nice improvement, I like what you have done here and from my experience last year this is much better.
Clean, Sharp, Quality…
Thanks for the kudos. As you may have noticed, I haven't upgraded the older pages to match the latest and greatest formats – the major exceptions are pages that seem to get heavily hit such as the Darwin Awards pages.
I like to think of this site as a toxic waste dump; the poison at the bottom just gets squeezed down and the flowers grow on top. I have tried to make the contents more accessible by providing more paths into the rubble; the quality of the content therein is a matter of taste.
Subj: Essay on Lewis
Your afterthought on C. S. Lewis's blindness to large-scale evil is an interesting opposite to a complaint that showed up in the Yale alumni rag ~15 years ago. (My sister was a family loyalist, so she followed several generations of scholars into Yale; I'm an apostate, but as a fan I read anything lying around.)
The writer had asked his students for a written piece demonstrating (concerning?) evil, and was very disturbed at a piece in which the viewpoint character, a fraternity pledge, followed orders to get his date drunk enough not to resist gang rape at the frat house; there was a clear implication that this was a duty rotated among pledges. The writer was disturbed not by the subject but by his conclusion that his student did not understand Evil; the tone suggested to me that the writer did not believe that Evil was within the capabilities of the everyday human being. I wonder if he had ever been exposed to Lewis (or, for that matter, Kate Wilhelm, who is very good on the extraordinary capabilities in all directions of ordinary people).
One wonders what on Earth the writer thought Evil was. Come to think on it, though, it's not simple. There is this notion of Good versus Evil as two competing sides with the kicker that, as Mammy Yokum says, "Good is better than Evil because it is nicer."
"They were playing football in Heaven's own back yard
With Jesus playing halfback and Moses playing guard.
The score was six to nothing and oh how they did yell
When Jesus scored a touchdown against the boys from Hell!"
(Old school song.) Right and wrong are simple enough – there's a list somewhere that says A, B, and C are right and X, Y, and Z are wrong. Several lists, actually, but that's a separate problem. Sins are the wrong things. But is there a line between sin and evil? If the pledge had gotten his date drunk and had sex with her would that have been a sin but not evil?
Of course, Lewis had his own blind spots — having been at a couple of non-"progressive" boarding schools I find the conclusion of THE SILVER CHAIR, in which everything is made right by a return to the old-school command structure, rather worse than naive. (Remember the movie "If…"? Would you believe there was a place in the Northeast that fostered similar hierarchically-based violence as a matter of "school spirit"?)
Oh, yes, the ending of TSC is priceless. The beginning of The Dawn Treader is more of the same. TSC was one of things that I had in mind when I said that Lewis never quite understood the difference between being an English gentleman and being a Christian.
Subj: Hartering
Have you read Christopher Moore's COYOTE BLUES? Very uneven writer, but this is fun and has an interesting take on Coyote's ancestry.
I also note you speak of Loki as a Hermes-type trickster; is this not a sanitized version? Even leaving out the Marvel comics version and his successors (e.g., in SANDMAN), I get the feeling there is a core of viciousness in the original deity — after all, no other trickster wound up in quite as painful a spot as Loki did when Odin tired of him (although Odin was considered by his devotees to be almost as vicious a deity as the Christian god).
I wouldn't say that the Christian God was vicious – the God of the old testament, yes, but not the God of the new testament. I recently read Chesterton's essay on Job. One of the ideas that he brings out is that the Jewish God wasn't "Good" in the Christian sense.
Was the Norse Loki nasty? Probably, in his time. These days Homer Sap has snatched off the viciousness concession for himself. The gods are all working at the amusement parks which have themselves been sanitized over the years.

Love the site and the jokes!!
The only thing is that I can't get to see the pumpkin fall from the tower at Cornell. (sniffle)
Any way you can help?
Sigh. Cornell seems to have removed the link which I think is jolly unsporting of them. I suspect they felt that it didn't enhance their image properly. I will have to change the page and remove the link. Sorry about that.
Subj: Sex on the brain
You quote Blum's observation that (in short) one effect of pregnancy is a (temporarily) depressed immune system. Did she note the indications that having been pregnant is statistically connected to long-term health advantages (specifically chances of certain kinds of cancer, IIRC)? I don't have the figures to hand, and I don't think they've sorted out all the reasons yet (although there's speculation that reducing the total number of menstrual cycles may reduce chances of cancer later on).
I don't recall that she did; she was covering the immediate effects of the various sex related hormones. Breast cancer is one of the cancers IIRC.
This has its own interesting effect: if you don't control for number of children born, you get a statistical connection between abortion and certain kinds of cancer — hence one of the recent noises from somewhere in the morass of anti-choice forces….
I hadn't heard that one. I tend to stay away from abortion arguments and the various advocates although I do contribute money to groups like NARAL. The arguments on all sides are both irrefutable and untenable; the advocates, again on all sides, tend to be as obnoxious as the Jehovah Witness types.
Subj: The Symbolic Species
weird cross-connection:
The problem with infant care and transport is treated lightly which is depressingly customary.
In side matter to a later edition of THE MAN WHO COUNTS (orig pub WAR OF THE WING-MEN), Poul Anderson says Karen convinced him that migration while pregnant was not possible and to make migration the trigger for female & male oestrus. However, the OmniMax film on the Serengeti (at the Science Museum a couple of years ago, may still be around) shows gazelles giving birth immediately after migration; for a migrating species that takes more than a very few months to reach gross physical maturity, the evolutionary odds are better if the offspring have the maximum amount of time to mature between opposing migrations. (You lose some pregnant females in one direction and some immatures in the other, but the net is better than moving with lots of way-immatures.) (The film also mentioned a branch species in dead-volcanic area with enough year-round green to avoid migration; I don't remember if it said anything about the resulting effect on mating season.)
The title of the ASF serial was The Man Who Counts.
The migration in TMWC is dubious. When I think about it Karen was probably right. Grazing animals can migrate while pregnant; they eat as they go along and migration doesn't consume extra energy to speak of. However a flying animal undertaking a long migration has a big energy deficit. This isn't necessarily a problem as long as the young are born quite early, either from eggs as in birds or marsupial style. Note however that birds do their breeding after arrival.
The real catch that I see is that migration is an annual event. This is inconsistent with delayed maturity. If the young have to mature fast enough to be able to migrate with the flock they won't have extended childhoods and probably will have short life spans.
Somewhere I was reading a comment on the unlikelihood of VanRijn's oratory having the effect that Anderson credited it with. The power of poetry is not only culture specific, it is species specific. Perhaps, however, it is best not to look at these things too closely – realism is not wanted in SF, only a patina.
Subj: The Fall of Chronopolis
Niven's thesis is explictly contraverted. Far from "time travel acting to destroy itself" the converse (with the structure of the theory) is true: once time travel is discovered it acts to preserve itself.
I don't recall where Niven argued this; in an early story he has a typical stamp-on-a-butterfly change, and in the Unicorn shorts he says time travel is a fantasy. But I'm reasonably sure that Brunner presented this hypothesis (in the quartet of stories about time patrolmen who were Spanish because the Armada won) some time before Niven's first sale.
He did an essay on it; I recall the essay well enough but I don't intend to look it up. My books are not exactly organized. He argued that if the universe has temporal inertia so that it changes as little as possible then the minimum change comes with wiping out the time travellers. He did a short story along those lines – one side on a war gives the other side the plans for a time machine. The other side tries to build and their star goes nova. If the past can be changed indefinitely (no inertia) then change after change is made until we arrive in a time-line where time travel is never invented.
I don't recognize the Brunner stories. However it doesn't sound like Niven's thesis; Niven was arguing that time travel never happens because one way or another it gets eliminated as a possibility.
Chip responded July 3 with:
The story sounds like overkill of de Camp's principle from "A Gun For Dinosaur", in which any attempt to alter the past creates such a strain on spacetime that the would-be alterer is slammed back to his starting point. The conclusion is exactly that of Brunner's TIMES WITHOUT NUMBER; at the end of the last story, the lead character ends up in present-day Central Park, realizing that his world is irretrievably gone.
I suppose some of the difference is point-of-view — where does a timeline go when you eliminate it? Niven's proposal seems implausible, as it suggests that you can be inside or outside a timeline purely as a matter of physical location. (All this is sheerest ungrounded speculation, of course, but I've had a very minor interest in collecting plausible theories about changing the past.)
I'm puzzled by your comments. I don't see where you get the "inside or outside the timeline" thought from. Niven is arguing against non-deterministic time travel – the mode of travel doesn't matter. If the time-line can be altered (ignoring parallel time tracks and that whole bit) then his argument runs:
(a) There is temporal inertia; the past resists being changed. Then if I am about to invent a time machine the minimal change to the universe is for me to drop dead or some other equivalent event that prevents the time machine from being invented.
(b) There is no temporal intertia; the time-line keeps changing in response to time travel. It keeps changing until someone does something that changes the time-line to one in which time travel is never invented, e.g., wiping out the ancestors of the human race.
Niven was arguing that time-travel is self-eliminating. As a side note a recent ASF article suggests that this may be a physical principle. If GR holds it is possible in principle to build FTL vehicles; the theorists keep running into problems if you try to use them for time travel.
Subj: The Deuce of Diamonds
A nicely-setup package; I can see it finding a market somewhere in the 60's. (Finney did some of this earlier, but without the punch at the end.) Since then the Godly have gotten a deservedly bad name, and the Devil has been shown in a number of other facets; have you read Brust's TO REIGN IN HELL (the blurb might not have attracted you, but it's a well-constructed classic tragedy) or Godwin's WAITING FOR THE GALACTIC BUS (and sequel THE SNAKE-OIL WARS — both a touch light, and fitting some of my biases, but well done).
I've read Godwin's two books and Brust's book. They were good but they didn't have any impact on me – I remember reading them but I recall very little about them.
Several of the pieces are probably publishable but they mostly don't fall into standard categories. I ran The Deuce of Diamonds through rec.arts.books; it triggered a discussion on whether the ending was too pat, too sentimental or whether it was just right.
I wonder what your reaction to The Small and Stupid Gods will be.

Subj: Make an immediate left turn
You may remember that I was flying light planes around the time I joined NESFA; I gave it up a couple of years later shortly after getting an instrument license, when I found empirically that flying my own plane was more expensive than buying airline tickets and (in bad weather) slower than driving. During my one significant expedition I returned to Dulles from the ocean just at sunset; I was off the runway quickly (Dulles has high-speed taxiways) and a correspondingly long way from the terminal, so I shouldn't have been surprised to hear Ground say "American 2, give way to that Cessna on the taxiway"; however, it was a little jarring to look way up at the 707 looming over my shoulder….
I do recall that you were a small plane pilot and yes, I can see that small planes are not an economic proposition. This is not entirely true; if you live in places like South Dakota airplanes, like horses, are more viable. In the East it is ungodly expensive to keep a horse; in SD you just put them out in the pasture with the cattle. Likewise with small planes. It's all very well to say that airline tickets are cheaper than flying your own plane. That's true enough but in SD the place where airlines fly to are few and far between. Again, SD has more than ample "good" weather, i.e., sunny days, and the plane does beat driving. The catch is that when you drive you have a car when you get there.
Continued July 27
I had a similar argument from somebody who flew himself to Iguanacon from someplace in Colorado. Certainly the equation is different for trips in which even one endpoint is a small field — Ocean City (Maryland) was not a day trip from DC except on that flight. But I had been thinking flying would actually be practical (as opposed to a hobby) around here. In some cases it was even less practical; I had thought of flying to MidAmericon, but it would have taken less time to drive because as the only pilot I could stay at the controls only 8 hours/day (=>2+ days to KC given stops), while the car I was in got there in 2 days of 12 and 14 hours. (And was entertained on the way by a Jesse Jackson lecture that nobody wanted to interrupt to complain about a car parked across the railroad tracks — blocking the train with the fannish car.)
Even so. In a totally different context, I took shorthand in high school on the assumption that it would be useful for taking notes in college. I discovered that it wasn't so. What happened was that my attention would be entirely on getting the lecture down on paper; I heard nothing and had to transcribe the notes en toto to find out what the lecture was about.
And even the sunny days we get here aren't as good; I was at the club when somebody reposted from Colorado Springs came back from his familiarization flight doing a wet-hen imitation. He was used to lots of CAVU and a little zero-zero, and we had the typical "ceiling indefinite, visibility 5 miles in haze".
Crop dusting, checking cattle, flying out to oil rigs – small planes are good for that. So much for the predictions of the 40's and 50's that by now everybody would have an air car.
There are a lot of things that killed that idea — flying in general is harder than driving, flying in bad weather is much harder (there's a Kit Reed(?) story involving an alien assigned to setting up weather control so air commutes will be feasible), planes can't slow down in heavy traffic (and helicopters are even more expensive and delicate than planes), … The postwar predictions were based on the same ignoreance of basic Newtonian physics that gave us a lot of the SF we remember fondly — remember Heinlein (who usually was more careful about engineering) writing that a 3-part rocket system could get cargo to the moon for $30/pound?

Fantastic Fest Review: 'THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER' – pure psychological horror
Rated R, 109 min
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan, Alicia Silverstone, Raffey Cassidy and Sunny Suljic
It seems that the biggest complaint for Yorgos Lanthimos' films is they don't seem to make much sense. The films the Greek director make are sick of dealing with the common courtesies of social interactions. His dialogue is humorous and jarring, so it could be a warranted complaint that his films don't quite add up to some.
His latest THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER is his second dive into English language and his first coming stateside, which is no accident that it's most haunting film to date. This film is controlled chaos that's meticulous and unkind to the characters and audience alike. Reward comes within the fabric, while unraveling a film can cause it to fall apart — in the case of Lanthimos' work, picking details apart only makes it a stronger piece of filmmaking.
THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER isn't THE LOBSTER part two; this story is a tight thriller where we are introduced to the pragmatic surgeon Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell), whose developed an odd but seemingly appropriate relationship with a peculiar teenage boy named Martin (Barry Keoghan). They exchange niceties and Steven provides Martin with gifts. Lanthimos quietly lets us into their dynamic with a deadpan delivery of dialogue that has echoes of THE LOBSTER, with a more nihilistic set of rules that aren't looking for logic or emotion.
The creepiness of Keoghan was littered throughout the film. Photo courtesy of A24.
The Greek auteur's work has a cold, methodical feel that contradicts the loving life Steven is living with his wife Anna (Nicole Kidman) and their two children Kim (Raffey Cassidy) and Bobby (Sunny Suljic). They live in a posh house, drive Range Rovers, go to private school — the whole deal, which dwarfs Martin's lifestyle who resides in a modest home with his whacky mother (Alicia Silverstone). Life isn't fair, but Lanthimos and screenwriting partner Efthymis Filippou are all about leveling the playing field for the Murphy family who genuinely care for one another. The power of love causes an imbalance and the only way to counter act that is horror, violence and an undying anxiety that you could lose the one you care for most.
Like Lanthimos' DOGTOOTH (about overprotective parents), SACRED DEER shows what its like to love someone so much it can perhaps cause mental and physical paralysis. Is this a metaphor for the events of the film, perhaps? The film's engine comes from the work of Keoghan — who gave a fairly silent performance in DUNKIRK this summer — who sets the inexplicable events into motion. Martin has a greasy and child-like innocence about him, which is set against a deeply troubled psychology relating to the death of his father. Lanthimos and Keoghan handle this character elegantly as he's orchestrating an intangible horror that's affecting the Murphy family look for Keoghan to break out in a big way following this role.
This is Farrell and Lanthimos' second collaboration, and while he's very good, it's Kidman, once again who reinvents herself with a restrained role that is strong, sexy and has all the nuance of a person who sees her life slipping out of control from no fault of her own. (With BIG LITTLE LIES, Kidman is really killing it this year.)
KILLING OF A SACRED DEER treats love as a disease, one that must be evaporated to live an efficient life. And while the romantic side of a person is hard to turn off, the fight for survive is much stronger.
THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER opens in some markets on Oct. 20 and will expand in the weeks following.

Valley crews were busy on this Labor Day.
They worked the fields in Merced Monday morning along Yosemite and Arbolita, but some ag officials say California is in desperate need of additional workers.
Work is plentiful on this labor day for farm workers who, unlike many, did not have the day off.
But there's a farm labor shortage and industry experts say is the worst it's been in years.
Picking raisin grapes is non-stop work for these farm laborers even on Labor Day.
And the work has grown due to a labor shortage. As crew leader, the number of employees Antonio Lopez supervises has dropped by almost fifty percent.
Lopez says tighter border security between Mexico and the U.S. is to blame for the labor shortage as most pickers in California are migrant workers.
"The workers know that they're being captured by border patrol and they're sent back," Manuel Cunha of the Nisei Farmers League said.
Cunha is president of the Nisei Farmers League and says border enforcement is contributing to a labor drought, but so are the drug cartels.
"They apprehend the workers to haul drugs. And if you don't they take you out. Going back, they even catch you on the way back and make you haul drugs," Cunha said.
Experts say both these factors are impacting the ag industry in the Valley.
"You've got three big major crops that are taking labor right now, and there's just so much. And so contractors to keep business, they will split up their crews," Cunha said.
That means fewer workers per field and more time it will take them to harvest their crop - a delay that could put these raisin grapes in jeopardy if they're not picked and covered before the rain season hits.
Despite having to do more work these farm workers will be paid more. But if crops aren't picked in time then farmers can lose much of their crop and profits.

Celebrating University Press Week 2019
SupaduDev | University Press Week
The MIT Press is proud to support and participate in 2019 University Press Week (UP Week), from Sunday, November 3, through Saturday, November 9.
This year's theme—"Read. Think. Act."—perfectly encapsulates the work of the Press, as well as the ambition for our books in the world.
Read. Think. Act. emphasizes the role that scholarly publishers can play in moving national and international conversations forward on critical and complex issues. It is a particularly apt theme as many citizens around the globe continue to engage in important debates that will influence vital decision-making in the months ahead. In fact, this year's UP Week will begin exactly one year to the day before the 2020 Election Day in the U.S.
The university press community will host online celebrations of this year's theme via a blog tour, which we'll be linking to throughout the week. On Thursday, our own MIT Press Bookstore will contribute to the conversation with a thoughtful take on how bookstores—and in particular university press-affiliated bookstores—help build community.
Want to learn more about University Press Week? This Read. Think. Act. Reading List is a great starting and highlights a lot of the important work of our peers and colleagues.
We're honored that the MIT Press title selected for this list is Jonas Staal's Propaganda Art in the 21st Century, which offers an essential guide for understanding propaganda art in the post-truth era, reminding us that propaganda is not a relic of a totalitarian past but occurs today even in liberal democracies. This illuminating and timely book discusses artistic and cultural productions developed by such popular mass movements of the twenty-first century as Occupy, activism by and in support of undocumented migrants and refugees, and struggles for liberation Mali, Syria, and other countries.
Did you know: University presses publish approximately 14,000 books each year, as well as more than 1,200 journals and numerous innovative digital works.

Great, great guitarist. With the death of Danny Kirwan a couple of years ago we have now lost two of the five from the classic Fleetwood Mac lineup. However Peter Green did a lot more than this, it was he who prompted John Mayall to make the comment on Eric Clapton's departure from the Bluesbreakers "Don't worry, we've got someone better". And later despite his well documented health problems, he recorded some great stuff, including a full album of Robert Johnson songs.
But, Mrzzy, I don't think he had anything to do with Rumours. Their classic guitarists (Green, Spencer, Kirwan) had all left by then.
RIP Mr. Green

I've printed out a paper copy of the obituary and will attempt
to copy it in this post.
From the London Sunday Times
Peter Green, the Fleetwood Mac founder who dropped out, dies at 73
by Rosamund Urwin and Grant Tucker
He was the musician who encouraged a generation of teenagers to pick up the guitar, but Peter Green's own career was marred by psychedelic drugs and mental illness.
Last night, the world of rock and blues was in mourning after the death of the Fleetwood Mac co-founder at the age of 73. Green, nicknamed the Green God by fans, formed the band with drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass guitarist John McVie in London in 1967. He was so instrumental in the band's early years that its original name was Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Their greatest hits included Albatross, Man of the World, Oh Well and The Green Manalishi. After he left the band, he missed out on their biggest success, the 1977 Rumours album.
To some music fans, Green -- born Peter Greenbaum in Bethnal Green in 1946 -- was the best of the British blues guitarists, even greater than Eric Clapton. The singer-songwriter B. B. King once said that Green "has the sweetest tone I ever heard. He was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."
Cat [Yusuf] Stevens wrote in a tweet last night:
"God bless the ineffable Peter Green, one of the unsung heroes of musical integrity, innovation and spirit ... He became something of a model for me."
Fleetwood Mac enjoyed staggering success, with four hit albums. In 1969, the band sold more records than The Rolling Stones and The Beatles combined, and Green became one of the most famous musicians in Europe. But he left the band at the height of its fame after a final performance in 1970. He said he was leaving the music business "for my freedom", but was also suffering from mental health issues, and was hearing voices. He later had schizophrenia diagnosed.
He had gone off the rails after taking LSD. In 1996, he admitted that the drug had left a lasting impression on him. "I'm still there ... I never did come back off the trip. I guess I took one trip too many," he told the Daily Telegraph.
While on tour in Munich, Germany, to promote their third album, Then Play On, matters came to a head. "Peter took some more drugs," said Mick Fleetwood in the 2012 BBC documentary Man of the World, "and never really came back from that."
Green was met by a group of people Fleetwood referred to as "the German jetset," who whisked him away to a party after their show. "It was a hippie commune sort of thing," said Fleetwood Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer.
"We arrived there, and [road manager] Dennis Keane comes up to me shaking and says 'It's so weird, don't go down there. Pete is weirding out big time and the vibes are just horrible."
Green was already set to leave the band, but this was, said Fleetwood, "the final nail in the coffin". Friends say he was never the same after the "Munich incident". He began to give away his guitars and, after he left the band, had a series of odd jobs, including a gravedigger. In the following years he spent time in various psychiatric hospitals and underwent electro-shock therapy.
Green was never enamoured with either fame or money. As the royalty cheques flooded in as Fleetwood Mac became ever more successful in the 1970s and news fans scoured the back catalogue, Green did not want the cash or the attention. He was trying to enjoy a much simpler life.
Green contacted a former Fleetwood Mac manager about his finances -- because he was upset the money kept pouring in. In January 1977, armed with a shotgun, he went to see his accountant, David Simmons, and threatened to shoot him. The police were called and Green ended up in jail.
"I was quite happy in prison, so I thought I'd be all right," Green said. "But they said, 'You failed the psychiatrist test.' "
He endured long stretches of mental illness and destitution in the 1970s and 1980s, later moved in with his older brother Len, and his mother in their house in Great Yarmouth, where he started to recover.
In 1977, Fleetwood Mac, without Green, released Rumours, which sold more than 45 million copies worldwide.
Green married Jane Samuels in January 1978. The couple had a daughter, Rosebud Samuels-Greenbaum, but divorced in 1979.
With advances in treatments for schizophrenia, he began to recover and took up the guitar again in 1996. He then formed the Peter Green Splinter Group, which recorded nine albums during their time together.
In February [2020], a concert was held at the London Palladium in Green's honour, with performances by rock royalty including Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who played a rendition of Albatross, and Noel Gallagher of Oasis, who perfomred three of the band's early acoustic numbers.
Last night, the guitarist Bernie Marsden of the band Whitesnake, who saw him recently, shared his memories of Green in a long tribute on social media.
"I can't quite express my feelings this afternoon after learning of Peter's death," he wrote on Instagram.
"I'm just thinking of the times we spent together in the last couple of years, hanging out with him at his home was very special. There I was, sat with my hero.
"As a musician I can only be one of the millions he touched, his talent for guitar playing, vocals and harmonica would have been more than most people could have possibly wished for, and then you add those wonderful songs, original, vibrant, atmospheric, outright psychedelic and so much fun, to listen to and [to] witness."
The rock singer David Coverdale, formerly of Whitesnake, also paid tribute to Peter Green on Twitter:
"An artist I truly loved and admired from the first time I heard him. I supported the original Fleetwood Mac at Redcar Jazz Club when I was in a local band. He was a breathtaking singer, guitarist and composer."
John McVie, a former bandmate in Fleetwood Mac, previously said of Green:
"He was one of the best, if not the best. That's why it's such a tragedy that it all went the way it did. He could have been so much more."
**keberoxu's own comment:
Green's life story has long been reported with inaccuracies and there are some details that may never get fully set straight; I spy a few such in the Times obit, and other readers may notice more than I did.
It's strange. I have a clear memory of playing Albatross over and over again at a party in Exeter, but that can't have been later than summer 1965. By 1968 I was in West London with two small children, and parties were out of the question for quite some time. But all the information I find on the internet says Fleetwood Mac was formed in 1967 and Albatross was released in 1968 or 1969.
How can this be? (I had not taken any illegal substances.)
I enjoyed the early Green Fleetwood Mac but only saw the great man live once with the Splinter Group, a memorable night.Great loss.

From: GUEST,Clive Pownceby
Such fond memories - Southport Floral Hall with the Bluesbreakers. 7/6d in and no support. Peter was not just just an astonishing player, but what fashion style?! Scuffed plimsolls and a rugby shirt! I'd never liked the game but I went out and bought a similar shirt next day. Such soulfulness in his playing, and it's possible to 'do' excellent blues without the soul element but Peter's playing simply touched you. Mayall always knew what he was doing in that band, always keeping an eye on the horizon in those shifting-sands line-ups.
I was at the first gig at Windsor Fest. too. (Weekend ticket 30/- from the Marquee) That was a mighty debut and later on in the Mac's lifespan you only have to listen to the lyrics of such as 'Man Of The World' and 'Green Manalishi' ("the night is so black that the darkness cooks") to understand the sensitivity that came through his guitar.
Thank you Peter - you hit the spot.
I shall just have to accept that somehow I was time travelling on nothing stronger than cheap red wine - but the music certainly made a lasting impression.
Clive Pownceby - did you see the second set of Fleetwood Mac at Windsor a little later in a big Marquee? I think The Nice were on too in that Marquee.
I have the poster framed on the kitchen wall, it was THAT memorable!
Can't see in the line-up nor recall The Nice but in the afternoon I'd grooved to Donovan and Ottilie Patterson in the sunshine. Memories are a tad hazy but 'The' Cream headlined in the evening and there were all kind of heroes along the lines of Chicken Shack and Pentangle to see - all this for a quid or so?!
Somehow I got a last train back to Waterloo and slept on a luggage trolley on platform 4.
If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me would we? Could we? Erm, yes please.
I remember the Cream set well, rumour had it that their amps were quickly reset to USA lower mains voltage so that they would be just as loud !!

Could dental therapy improve access to care in Michigan?
Senate Bill 1013 could introduce dental therapists to dental teams in Michigan.
There's been growing awareness that dental health isn't just about appearance and avoiding cavities. It's also essential to overall health.
For instance, poor oral health has been tied to cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections like pneumonia, diabetic complications and dementia.
This means it's crucial to bring dental care to areas and populations that are underserved by dentists.
Some think Senate Bill 1013 could be the way to do that in Michigan.
The bill was introduced earlier this summer by Sen. Mike Shirkey (R-Clark Lake). It's modeled after a program in Minnesota that set up a midlevel dental professional called a dental therapist.
Dr. David Gesko is a dentist in Minnesota. He said in his state, dental therapists are to dentists as physician's assistants or nurse practitioners are to doctors.
"This allows us to be able to deliver care at a lower cost model, but at a very high quality level," Gesko said. "It's the same quality – the training of dental therapists is equivalent in their scope of practice to what a dentist gets."
On the other side of the coin is Bill Sullivan with the Michigan Dental Association. The MDA is squarely against the idea of dental therapists, and opposes Senate Bill 1013.
Sullivan said one reason for that is the MDA doesn't think dental therapists are needed to bring dental care to underserved populations.
Listen above to hear the full conversation.
David Gesko is senior vice president of Health Partners in Minnesota. He's also a past president and current member of the Minnesota Board of Dentistry.
Bill Sullivan is vice president of Advocacy and Professional Affairs for the Michigan Dental Association.


The Supreme Court narrowed the scope of the Voting Rights Act this week when it ruled that it does not require states to create so-called crossover districts. The regrettable 5-to-4 ruling overturns two of the act's central goals: protecting minority voting rights and moving the nation toward a more colorblind future.
In crossover districts, minorities are not a majority, but they have enough voting power that they stand a good chance of electing a candidate of their choosing.
When North Carolina redrew its district lines in 2003, it created a district with a roughly 39 percent black voting-age population. In doing so, the line-drawers divided a county into two districts, something the state constitution prohibited. But the state argued that the Voting Rights Act required it to create the district, in which minorities would be a large part of the electorate though not a majority.
The county sued, arguing that the Voting Rights Act does not require the creation of districts in which minorities are less than 50 percent of the voting-age population. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the opinion that controlled the outcome, stated that the act is concerned only with creating districts in which minorities are a majority.
Justice David Souter, in dissent, had the better argument. He noted that in practice crossover districts that are about 39 percent black have a reasonable chance of electing minorities, which makes the districts an effective method of increasing minority representation.
He also pointed out that if the act does not require the creation of crossover districts, it will encourage states instead to pack minorities into majority-minority districts. Discouraging the sort of districts in which blacks must join together with whites will polarize voting along racial lines.
As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted in dissent, the decision "returns the ball to Congress' court." Congress should amend the Voting Rights Act to make clear that it also wants to create districts in which minorities are less than a majority but exert significant influence.
The ruling is a curtain raiser for a more important Voting Rights Act case. Later this year, the court is expected to decide whether another part of the act, Section 5, is constitutional. Section 5, which requires states to "preclear" new voting rules that could hurt minorities, is a critically important law. We hope that Justice Kennedy's respectful tone toward the act and its goals indicates that Section 5 will be upheld by a strong majority.

Bicester is a town and civil parish in the Cherwell district of northeastern Oxfordshire in England. Bicester is one of the fastest growing towns in Oxfordshire. Bicester's development has been favoured by its proximity to junction 9 of the M40 motorway linking it to London, Birmingham and Banbury. Bicester has good road links to Oxford, Kidlington, Brackley, Buckingham, Aylesbury and Witney, as well as rail service. Bicester has a long-standing connection with the military. Ward Lock & Co's 'Guide to Oxford and District' suggests that Alchester was 'a kind of Roman Aldershot'. During the Civil War, Bicester was used as the headquarters of parliamentary forces. The British Army's largest ordnance depot - the Central Ordnance Depot of the Royal Logistic Corps - is located just outside Bicester. The depot has its own internal railway system, the Bicester Military Railway.

Gravesend resident: Contractor hired to fix sidewalk left street, home in worse condition
A Brooklyn man says the city hired a private contractor to come in and fix the sidewalk in front of his house, but they walked away leaving even more damage to this property.
The series of events date back to March for Gravesend resident Vincent Salino, when he was notified that the city appointed a contractor fix the sidewalk, which was damaged by tree roots.
But as construction went on, Salino noticed one of the poles from his driveway gate was damaged, ultimately breaking the gate. At first, he says contractors denied causing the damage, then tried to fix the pole back into place. He says the bent metal has thrown off the entire gate, causing one of the doors to scrape and drag against his driveway.
On top of that, Salino says the sidewalk in front of the driveway where contractors parked their vehicles was cracked and pressed down, leaving several hazardous areas where he thinks someone can get hurt.
Salino says he has gone back and forth with both the contractor and the New York City Department of Design and Construction, but no one has been able to help.
Earlier this month, News 12 reached out to the Department of Design and Construction, which said in a statement, "The contractor had originally made the repairs to the sidewalk in March 2019, and then returned in August to make repairs to the gate. The contractor will return to the site within the next 24 hours to inspect the gate again and make repairs if necessary."
Salino says somebody did come out recently to take a look at the damage, but they left without doing anything.
Months later, Salino says he just wants his property returned to the way it was.


Bolton Clarke residents and at home support clients on the Gold Coast have come together again to celebrate fun, fitness and healthy competition at the annual HiJinx Games.
Residents from Winders, Darlington and Galleon Gardens residential aged care communities and Gold Coast At Home Support Services clients competed in events including pool noodle tossing, darts, bowls, cooee calling and tunnel ball.
Designed to be inclusive for all abilities and fitness levels, the games encourage movement, participation, socialising and lots of laughter.
Galleon Gardens Diversional Therapist Gwen Bonney says the HiJinx Games are much more than just a day of sports.
"The games are a highlight of our calendar and promote exercise, movement and help with falls prevention among our residents. We spend months training and preparing with bi-weekly training sessions. It is a great way to build fitness and get everybody involved," she said.
A highlight of the day is the Slip Slop Slap Race, where employees and residents team up in a relay of racing to don a t-shirt and applying sunscreen and a hat in line with the well known sun safety campaign.
"The residents are absolutely in stitches watching this – they love it and they yell lots of encouragement as we do it," Gwen said.
Winders Diversional Therapist Sue Todd says it's a great opportunity for social interaction between residents from Bolton Clarke's different communities and services.
"We are lucky here on the Gold Coast to have four services so close together – we enjoy visiting one another and having combined social events," she says.
The Gold Coast HiJinx Games are now in their eighth year and have grown to become bigger and better at each annual event. This year, the Gold Coast At Home Support Services team took the top prize from Galleon Gardens and will have bragging rights until the next HiJinx Games.

Getting Jehane to Mexico City wasn't as quick or easy as anybody hoped, and neither Seth nor Ajax were allowed to go with her. Kwan went instead.
"This isn't the time for anybody with a dodgy record to be climbing on an international flight," Kwan said as he checked through some papers at the Texas portal.
"They've got better things to worry about," protested Ajax.
Kwan quirked a smile. "And if we were going through Asia, I'd be concerned. As for Jehane…" he looked at where Jehane sat quietly, staring at her hands. Some of the other girls had done their best to transform her from the quiet, unaffected schoolgirl into something else, with all the magic makeup and nice clothing and a haircut could conjure, but none of that could change her body language. She was frightened of anchoring the new gate, Ajax knew, and Elian wasn't making it any easier on her with his hesitant assurances that it would probably be safe.
And then they left. And Ajax and Seth waited. And waited.
"Shouldn't they be there already?" Ajax demanded the next morning, as Jake re-emerged from the portal with his tablet.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious," said Seth, scanning the tablet screen.
Jake nodded, took back his tablet from Seth, and made a note on it.
"No sign of anybody else from Hatherly's crew?" asked Ajax.
"I wonder what her state of mind is, though," said Jake soberly.
"Not just talking," said Seth, and sniggered. "It'd better be you that goes after her." Something in his voice made Ajax look at Seth, past the sneer to the turmoil underneath.
Seth looked away. "A little." He met Jake's gaze, scowled, and looked at the floor.
"Well, the military will have them." Ajax sighed.
"So has Jehane, apparently," said Ajax.
Elian paused again. "All right," he repeated. "Starting the process. Augh! She's moving! She's not supposed to move!" Jolie, wide-eyed, ran through the Texas gate again, fumbling with her phone.
Jake bent over the pile of gate equipment assembled previously. "Come on, boys, help me get this stuff through. We can see if —" and he vanished through the shimmering field. Seth darted after him, snatching up a bundle of metallic struts.
"They're on their way," he said dully.
Ajax hesitated, then nodded and picked up a packaged tent and stepped through the portal.
He emerged into blinding sunlight, and almost tripped over the bundle of struts that Seth had abandoned in the middle of an old street. Ajax looked around carefully, and only when he didn't see the signs of anything horrific in his immediate vicinity did he raise his gaze to figure out where Seth and Jake had gone.
"Out of the road," called Jake, from behind him. But Seth was across the street, holding onto Jehane's arm as she climbed a high fence. An enormous, brilliantly red bird sat atop a fence post.
"It's his," said Jehane, slapping at Seth's hand. "Let me go." Then she seemed to change her mind and put one foot on Seth's shoulder to hoist herself higher. Startled, he let go of her arm and grabbed onto her leg instead. But she was still unsteady, until Ajax moved forward and braced her other leg. Thus boosted, Jehane reached up her fingers to the bird.
"Where is your maker?" demanded Jehane.
"Jehane!" said Ajax, and tugged on her leg. She grabbed at the fence with both hands, clinging to it.
"What did you think I was going to do if I survived the gate-making?" she cried. "I came here for him. We're all here to save who we can, and I came here for him." She kicked at Ajax's hand, and pulled her other leg away from Seth.
Seth held up his hands. "Don't, man. She's tough. And she's a big girl. She's got a giant weapon and everything." He watched Jehane climb the fence, smiling faintly.
"It's not the wildlife I'm worried about. It's the monsters on two legs," Ajax muttered. But Seth was right. The only way he could help Jehane achieve her goal right now was to let her go. She reached the top of the fence and dropped down on the other side. The giant bird fluttered down ahead of her, leading her away, and she followed without a single glance back.
Ajax glanced at the emergence point being constructed in the middle of the road. It didn't seem like a road that got a lot of car traffic, at least. But there wasn't going to be much chance of hiding it, even with the tent they'd brought along.

Q: Divide a matrix rowwise by its own sum I have this matrix
K=
0 0 1
0 2 1
0 1 1

L=
1
3
2

where L is the sum of each row of K
I need to make a new matrix through dividing each row of K by its sum, for example from 2nd row [0 2 1] the output that I should get is [0 2/3 1/3] or [0 0.67 0.33]:
Output=
0   0     1
0   0.67  0,33
0   0.5   0.5

I'm trying to use this code, but got only zeros:
for i=1:3;
    j=1:3;
    if K(i,j)>0
        K(i,j)=(K(i,j))/L(i)
    else
        K(i,j)=0
    end
end

How can I divide each row of K by its own sum?

A: K=[0 0 1
0 2 1
0 1 1 ];
L = sum(K,2) ;
iwant = bsxfun(@rdivide,K,L)  ;

A: K=[0 0 1; 0 2 1; 0 1 1]; % your matrix
rowSum = sum(K, 2); % compute the sum
K_norm = K./repmat(rowSum, 1, size(K, 2));

repmat here builds a matrix with the same dimensions as K but with each column being the sum of rows of K.

A: You can write it in two lines; first calculate the sum and then use repmat to make a matrix the same size as K and divide elementwise
L = sum(K,2);
iwant = K./repmat(L,1,size(K,2));

A: K=[0 0 1
0 2 1
0 1 1 ];
L = sum(K,2) ;
iwant = zeros(size(K)) ;
for i = 1:size(K,1)
    iwant(i,:) = K(i,:)/L(i) ;
end
