More about Tajikistan and IMON International

Tajikistan is known for its rich history, as it served as a key post along the Silk Road and marked the end of Alexander the Great's extensive rule. It has also produced great thinkers, philosophers, scientists, and poets, including Rudaki, Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Omar Khayyam, Jomi, and Rumi. The country is home to communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, epic mountain passes, and a civilization that dates back to the 4th millennium BC. And, even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.

But Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93% of the country is mountainous and only 7% of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.

IMON’s History

Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low-income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need.

She will use the loan to buy medicinal herbs, since she would like to buy or rent a hectare where she can plant her herbs and then sell them in her shop. She hopes that she will be very successful with this project. What she has appreciated the most about working with Fondo Esperanza is its willingness to work and the enthusiasm it transfers to its members while they are learning.

Iowa QB Vandenberg Puts Together Strong 2011

November 23rd, 2011 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa junior quarterback James Vandenberg has quietly put together one of the best seasons in school history entering Friday’s regular season finale at 22nd-ranked Nebraska. Vandenberg leads the Big Ten with 238.5 yards passing per game is second only to Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson with 23 touchdown passes. Vandenberg’s also thrown just five interceptions while completing 60.9 percent of his throws. Though Vandenberg has often been overshadowed by receiver Marvin McNutt and running back Marcus Coker, he’s been the leader of one of Iowa’s best offenses in recent memory. McNutt says Vandenberg has provided strong leadership this season and has developed into great player. The Hawkeyes (7-4, 4-3 Big Ten) face the Huskers (8-3, 4-3) for the first time in 11 seasons and for the first time as Big Ten opponents.

SharePoint 2013-a new way to work together?

This article appears in the issue January 2013, [Vol 22, Issue 1]

   Bookmark and Share

According to the Microsoft SharePoint product website, "SharePoint 2013 is the new way to work together." So what is so new about SharePoint 2013? Will it really change how we work together? The short answer is no, probably not for the readers of an article like this. However, the longer answer (for many people) is that it may make their jobs a little easier, and those who haven't really invested heavily in SharePoint might want to take another look.

As a TAP (Technology Adoption Program) member and a Microsoft Managed Partner working with TAP customers to implement and upgrade SharePoint 2013, Portal Solutions has been working with SharePoint for a good while now. To understand the way SharePoint 2013 may be a better way to work together, it's necessary to understand key areas of improvement over previous generations.

Area of improvement #1: search

Enterprise search capabilities—like search recommendations, "did you mean" clarifications, and even previous personal searches—may be expected in sophisticated (and often expensive) search platforms. In SharePoint 2013, those are provided as part of a new core search that takes advantage of some of the best things FAST search was capable of, and quite a few lessons learned from the extensive enterprise use of SharePoint's former search offering.

When an organization plans and implements effective search verticals (like people, videos and conversations) and query rules, the new SharePoint search experience may finally be the search solution that helps users find what they are looking for. Complementing the tunable and highly scalable search architecture, a new analytics processing engine provides more personalized and relevant results each time the user searches.

The story just gets better as search results are returned. Additional features also help further refine or verify the results. Deep refiners (those wonderful options on the left) show valid counts and make it very easy for users to filter down their search until they find what they want.

The results that are displayed after a search are also more robust and provide complete previews (as long as the user is running Office Web Apps) via the search result hover panels. Those previews enable a user to quickly verify which similarly named document might be the one for which they are looking. The hover panel even shows deep links where it found the key query term within the document (such as a PowerPoint slide title reference), allowing the user to find even more quickly specific content within a document.

Could this be a new way of working together? Probably not. However, for many organizations that haven't quite gotten search "right," this might be the opportunity for which they have been waiting, and certainly it may be the search technology for which they have been praying.

Area of improvement #2: collaboration

The social features of SharePoint 2013 and Yammer offer a comprehensive and compelling combined offering that really does hit the social enterprise nail on its head. While SharePoint 2013 offers a plethora of social capabilities-from robust activity streams to significantly improved discussion boards-it's the way it ties those features together with existing (and often familiar) SharePoint content that makes it truly valuable for many enterprises.

As an example, the community sites of SharePoint 2013 offer the same robust capabilities a SharePoint team site offers, but with added features such as easier onboarding for new members, a pre-configured rollup of community discussions along with the ability to mark posts with "best reply," reputation management and member rollups, report to moderator capabilities and report management capabilities, ratings, likes, private group conversations and more. Instead of just the community features of great social enterprise tools like Yammer, users get the easy customization, control and manageability of SharePoint.

Each site and the content within it uses the new (and simpler) sharing and permission management capabilities that make collaborating with others a much easier process. Immediate visibility is given on who has access to a document while also enabling users who don't have the rights to administer permissions the same familiar interface for making permission requests on behalf of other users (or themselves).

While improvements to collaboration  are based significantly on the improved social capabilities of SharePoint, there are quite a few other notable improvements to how people can work with one another more seamlessly, or with less friction. The enablement of drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a big step in the right direction. No longer does it take multiple clicks or require a specific browser to upload documents, folders or content easily.

Those improvements to social, sharing and uploading enable more seamless collaboration and may enable greater adoption for many enterprises. For those who are seeing resistance to technology-enhanced collaboration, it might just be that the friction and intrusive nature of previous collaboration systems (including SharePoint) added too much effort and confusion into the process. While SharePoint 2013 isn't perfect, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

A new way of working together?

This was only a review of two areas of improvement in SharePoint 2013. The reality is that there are a great many additions to SharePoint 2013 that impact the way we work, and for the better. I wouldn't call it a revolutionary step for most people and enterprises, but it certainly is a positive and significant one.

From the app approach Microsoft has taken (everything in SharePoint is now an app) to the improvements around specific workloads like workflow, records management, Web content management and developer/designer support, one thing remains consistent: SharePoint is becoming more integral and useful in our everyday office work.

View Full Version : Terror Squad wins it's third EBC championship title

Aug 18, 2004, 17:16
by Tom Kertes

NEW YORK, NY, August 12, 2004 -- It's high theater -- even higher than usual -- before the long-awaited championship matchup at the Entertainer's Basketball Classic at Rucker Park. There are a plethora of Ruff Ryders taking their warm-up shots on one side of the sizzling asphalt. But Terror Squad is largely -- this is Fat Joe's team, after all -- absent, with approximately zero minutes left on the clock.

"I think Fat Joe is plenty ticked off, man," an EBC insider intones. "He brought (spectacular Boston Celtics swingman) Ricky Davis with him for the semi-finals yesterday. And they didn't let him play." It seems that, in order to play in the playoffs, you had to have participated in at least one regular season game. Rucker has RULES.

"Where is Terror Squad?" announcer E.J. Da Mayor teases the 2000 in anxious attendance. "Where is Terror Squad? Will there be a repeat of what happened last year?" No way. No prob. Players in tow, Fat Joe suddenly appears at the far entrance of the park, high-fiving everyone and anyone sitting, standing, scrunching down, eating, talking on a cell-phone, or doing push-ups at the scorer's table. "How ya' doin', Fat?" a voice that sounds suspiciously like this writer's blurts out. Joe barely pays mind, either because he's too busy preparing for his three-peat or because he'll take care of the ink-stained wretch in his own good time.

Meanwhile, back to biz. Fat Joe brings all of his Almost-NBA All-Stars, led by Zech "Little Bro" Marbury and Kareem "Best Kept Secret" Reid. "The heck with them," he screams. "They can't say I brought a ringer." But the matchup looks dangerous as the Ruff Ones have the equally stylish Knicks Summer Leaguer Andre "The Point" Barrett and onetime Sixer (and Nugget) Kenny "KSatt" Satterfield in the backcourt.

And that is some backcourt. The crowd's still buzzing over how Barrett scored 36, and KSatt 31, in the semifinal win over Definition the night before.

With "The Secret" considered the number one EBC MVP candidate this year -- as well as perhaps the best non-NBA point guard around-- the matchup between him and "The Point" should be heated. Barrett (smooth 20-footer) and KSatt (delicious lookaway dish for a dunk) indeed open the game in fab fashion, carrying the Ruff Ryders to a 6-2 lead. The Secret's outside shot remains a secret for a while, but his passing-penetrating is impeccable. He finds Darren "DP" Phillips for consecutive thunderdunks, with the suddenly-hot Phillips following up with a couple of short jumpers. "There's another guy who's almost in The Show," Cardozo High School coach Ron Naclerio says on the sidelines. Phillips, who led the nation in rebounding while at Hofstra, is apparently making over $400,000 playing in Spain's First Division. "That's more than the NBA minimum," Naclerio notes.

The game flows back and forth for a while, but then the two-time defending champs -- with DP, The Beast, and another near-NBA-er in 6-11 Gordie Malone up front, begin to dominate the backboards and build a 39-30 lead by intermission. Not that this satisfies Terror Squad Coach Mousey in the least. "I know he's family!" he screams at the refs. "I know he's family! These guys only call fouls one way. Can you believe this? They're going to do everything to keep these chumps in the game."

Fat Joe, turning mathematician, is calmer. "We're up nine," he says. "Let's get another eleven, get up by twenty, and get out' here."

With "The Secret" suddenly sizzling -- he's hitting everything in sight -- Terror Squad has its twenty-point edge, at 54-34, less than eight minutes into the second stanza. Mousey barely notices. "I'm playing against eight people!" he screams. "These's the five chumps, the three referees, and the Commissioner!" That's nine people, but no one dares to inform the continually enraged mentor. With the lead at 64-43, Seton Hall forward Kelly Whitney, playing for the Ruff Ryders, hits consecutive shots off consecutive turnovers. Fat Joe, morphing into George Steinbrenner, freaks. "I want Kareem to bring the ball up EVERY TIME," he screams at Mousey. "Every time!" Mousey, mumbling under his breath, walks away -- all the way to the other team's bench where he hangs for a full minute. "These guys were nothing until they hooked up with me," he mumbles. "Nothing!"

Barrett and KSatt do their darndest to carry the Ruff Ryders back into the game, but now Zech gets hot, hitting consecutive hoops off of uncanny Secret assists. "Sometimes Secret is not pretty," admiring EBC official Charlie Brown says. "But he's always effective." When, as right now, he is both spectacular AND effective, Terror Squad can't lose.

They win 78-58, completing the Terror-ific three-peat. Bedlam breaks out, while Fat Joe and Mousey are hugging each other, madly dancing all over the asphalt. All is forgotten, except victory.

Damn , I missed the game.The weather sucked in NY, rain all week so I lost track of the makeup game.Fat Joe has become the Stienbrenner of the Rucker with the big payroll!! What's interesting about The Rucker is that it mixes NBA College and Streetball players against eachother with the Streetball players usually showing that they can play with anyone who steps in the park.Only a man - a true baller can come in the Rucker and do damage.Next to the NBA playoffs,there is no touhger competition.THE CROWD of thugs and onlookers in the stands will take your heart.NBA guys will tell ya its serious when they play at the Ruck!! Only the strong survive-not a cliche'.

Sorry man, next time I'll take care of it.

2 kriss childs:
Yeah, I think that too. If you've got something come up to Rucker and show what you'e got. If not - step aside and watch the real men.
The funny thing is how the NBA superstars that come up to the Park get their butts kicked by streetballers. Q-Rich, Vince, Jermaine - whole list. Only some remain steady. I'm proud that we've got Stephon who's a real Rucker Park legend.

Cons: Lock Ease of Use, Ease of Opening, None
Cheap diamond.
I use it at work as a partner to my Leatherman MUT - as it's easier to draw the blade on it, as it's always clipped to my shirt rather than sheathed in my belt as the leatherman is. Used to cut electrical wire, cord, fabric, canvas and my fruit for my lunches every day. Good: Feels super tough, very nice to use and hold. Good solid locking feel. Less good: Very (AND I MEAN VERY) stiff to open for the first while I had it. After some Inox and literally thousands of openings and closings it began to loosen up and became easier to open one handed. The frame-lock although excellent while on, is hard to disengage if done repeatedly (I like to fiddle with my blades) and could really do with a bigger catch for the thumb to cling onto.

Cons: None
It is light weight and very versatile.
I keep the Power Frame Lock knife clipped to my pocket all the time. I use it to open packages, as a utility knife and for hunting and fishing. It is light weight and very versatile. But don't lay it down on the ground with leaves around. The color blends in with organic material and may cause it to be misplaced.

Something is polyphonic when it is producing many sounds simultaneously. Music is considered polyphonic if there are two or more parts occurring with each having their own melody. An instrument may also be polyphonic if it is capable of producing more than one note at any given time.

The Polyphonic Hat can be made to be more fitted or slouchy - depending on your style! This hat features a zig zag pattern that travels up towards the crown of the hat simply by using knits and purls. If you are careful when joining new yarn and working decreases at the crown shaping then this hat can be reversible! The choice is yours, of course.

You are very welcome. Glad it was helpful. A crochetted edge will hide any uneven edges and give a nice touch to it as well. Good luck
Happy Knitting, doc4dolls

Sleepy Eye Back To School 21 Aug 12

Students in Sleepy Eye went back to school on Monday. Sleepy Eye Superintendent John Cselovszki says it was nice to see shining faces and some excitement in the building. He says the highlight of the first day of school for him was introducing the students to “Wave Man” for the first time. Wave Man is the mascot for this year’s Sleepy Eye Pride theme of “Catch the Wave and Show Your Sleepy Eye Pride.” Wave Man is otherwise known as Dave Vosbeck. Several other southwestern Minnesota school districts started their school years on Monday, including Springfield and Comfrey. The majority of Minnesota schools, including New Ulm, begin classes on the day after Labor Day, which is Tuesday, September 4th…2 weeks from today.

Hundreds of bills in N.M. in limbo

State's biggest issues remain undecided

Published  6:09 PM MDT Mar 10, 2013

It's the final push for the 60-day legislative session, but hundreds of bills, including some on the most important issues facing lawmakers in 2013, are sitting in limbo.

For weeks, the roundhouse has been caught up in a whirlwind of budgets, bills and busy work, but when it's broken down to how much was actually done, the apparent progress comes to a grinding halt.

"To this day, I've signed two bills. This is a 60-day session. We have 11 days left, (and) I've only signed two bills," said Gov. Susana Martinez.

Officials said only 10 bills in total have passed both the House and Senate. Hundreds of other bills made it through one side, but not the other, including the issue of driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

"I think the big key is compromise," said Ralph Arellanes, New Mexico state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Also, there is still no vote on whether Hanna Skandera should be confirmed as Public Education secretary.

With just one week left in the session, some of the biggest issues, like gun control, lottery scholarships, early childhood education and state pensions, still hang in the balance.

Some lawmakers said they expect the next few days to include work sessions starting late into the night and a last-minute rush of bills getting passed.

Levine Getting BMI President's Award

By: AP Email
By: AP Email

NEW YORK (AP) - Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine for president? Sort of.

Broadcast Music Inc. announced Monday that Levine will receive the President's Award at the 61st annual BMI Pop Awards on May 14.

The event will be held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. It will also honor last year's top songwriters in pop.

BMI says the 34-year-old Levine was selected for his "outstanding achievements in songwriting and the global impact he has had on pop culture."

Maroon 5 has released four platinum-plus albums, including last year's "Overexposed." The album features hits including "Payphone," ''One More Night" and "Daylight."

Levine is also a coach on the hit NBC series "The Voice."

BMI is a music rights management company that represents more than 500,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers.

Hole in Wall Apr 2014

early 2014 of Hole in Wall at Taku AK

A member of the Taku Glacier Lodge crew (near Juneau AK) sent this photo this week of Hole in the Wall. HW spills out the side of the enormous Taku Glacier, and faces the lodge directly. It also features an 'ice falls' as calves escape through the smallish opening. HW is across the Taku River a mile or two. In 1930s photos in the lodge, there is almost nothing spilling through HW's hole. This to me indicates much more than 'glacial insensitivity' but actual growth in Taku since 1930. They know the glacier has been large enough long enough to have been spilling through HW way before 1930.

Vandals cut lines to cruise ship

May 22nd, 2013 - 6:28am

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. (AP) - Lighting and security are being improved at a cruise ship dock at Port Townsend where vandals cut mooring lines last week.

Police say a total of five lines were cut on two different nights causing damage estimated at more than $1,000.

Police Chief Conner Daily told the Peninsula Daily News (http://is.gd/8zcI4I ) investigators are looking at several possible suspects.

The American Cruise Lines ship holds up to 100 passengers. It's making 13 weekly Puget Sound cruises this season with stops in Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Anacortes, Friday Harbor and Poulsbo.

Donation Heart Ribbon

Foreclosures Loom Large For Middle Class

Above: The Crochetiere family in front of their home in Springfield, Mass. Ron and Sandi are pictured with their children, Christina, 6, and Mason, 5. They are struggling to hold on to their home even though they owe $50,000 more than it is worth.

Foreclosures keep rising despite government efforts to prevent them. RealtyTrac reports that filings in July were up 32 percent from a year ago.

And as the crisis expands, it's dragging down more middle-class Americans who are making less money because of the battered economy. Many are responsible homeowners who've been paying their mortgages for years.

One Family's Struggle

At his corner diner and sandwich shop in Springfield, Mass., Ronald Crochetiere is leaning over the grill and scraping it down to clean it at the end of the day. "I'm one of these little guys on the corner. I've been here for 17 years," he says.

But with the recession, business has been much slower.

All fall and winter business was "going down, down, down when it should have been busy, busy, busy," Crochetiere says. It's not that he can't turn a profit, he says, "but the problem is kind of a small profit compared to what I made in the past."

Crochetiere says he's taking home about $1,000 a month less. On top of that his wife, a nurse, hurt her back and has had to cut back her hours. And for the first time in 21 years of marriage the couple is having trouble paying their bills and suddenly can't afford their mortgage. A lot of other long-time responsible homeowners are in the same boat.

Michelle Jones, a vice president at Consumer Credit Counseling Service, a big agency that works with homeowners around the country, says she has noticed a change. "We are talking with more clients who have never had serious financial difficulty before in their life," she says. More people who've always had jobs and always paid their bills are winding up in trouble, Jones says.

n the past, people faced foreclosure for many reasons, such as divorce or costly medical expenses, she says. Of course, many had gotten into high-interest subprime loans that they could never afford in the first place. And, Jones says, overspending and a lack of education about budgeting were just as often the culprit. But now the biggest problem is loss of income, she adds.

In June, 72 percent of the people calling the agency for help because they faced foreclosure cited a reduction in income or a loss of employment. "That's huge, and it's a big change for us," Jones says.

Pride In A Home

Back in Springfield, as the Crochetieres' two young children showed off their jumping skills in a backyard kiddie pool, Sandi Crochetiere, Ron's wife, said she loves the house. It's not a mansion. It's a raised-ranch-style home worth about $200,000.

The couple owes about $250,000 on it.

Since they're upside down — owing more than it's worth — some people say they should just walk away from the house. But the Crochetieres have been here 12 years, and the couple say they want to pay what they owe.

And they don't want to leave. Sandi says she grew up on welfare and was the youngest of 10 children. She wants to give her kids more than she had.

Looking across the big backyard toward the kids, Sandi says the couple has worked hard for everything they have: "We built this house; this is what we've always planned on."

Loan Modifications

The family's biggest problem is a large home-equity loan. They used to be able to afford it. But the interest rate is at 11 percent. Ron's been trying to get it lowered.

A lot of economists say that from a lender's perspective, doing that to avoid a costly foreclosure is a good business decision. The Obama administration is pushing a program to encourage lenders to do more of this. The Treasury Department says the plan has so far resulted in 400,000 loan modifications offered to borrowers.

Mark Zandi, the chief economist for Moody's, says Ron Crochetiere seems to be a good candidate. "For that person the president's loan mod plan is perfect because he wants to stay in that home."

Zandi says preventing foreclosures is crucial. And he worries the president's plan doesn't go far enough. Zandi would like people to get more incentive to stay in their homes by getting the size of their loan reduced. The president's plan lowers borrowers' payments, but it often still leaves them owing a lot more than their house is worth. "There are a lot more folks who don't think that makes any sense and they're just not going to do it," Zandi says.

He is in the camp of economists who think that a lot more foreclosures could be prevented if the industry would offer more aggressive loan modifications. The idea is not to offer these as some kind of charity, but because it's good for the economy and the lenders, too.

The Crochetieres are a case in point. They're already $50,000 upside down in the mortgage. Foreclosure sales often happen at fire-sale prices. So if the lender takes their house, they'll lose about $70,000 just in the sale. Then there are attorney's fees, months of lost income, and other expenses.

The lender might easily lose $100,000 in a foreclosure. Zandi says that gives lenders a lot of wiggle room to cut people deals that make good sense for everybody. Some other economists are skeptical and think that most people facing foreclosure are just not good "credit risks." Those economists expect most of the people who get loan modifications to end up defaulting again.

The Crochetieres' lender, a company called Green Tree Servicing LLC, says it is considering a loan modification for the couple. But a recent report from the Treasury Department shows that as of the end of July, Green Tree has modified only 4 percent of its problem loans through the president's plan.

Take Back the Night: Domestic Violence Awareness Walk and Raly

Set Text Size SmallSet Text Size MediumSet Text Size LargeSet Text Size X-Large
Updated: 5/03/2013 10:52 pm
        You might have seen a group of people walking through Old Town earlier tonight in Pocatello, Take Back the Night was the title of the event and their goal was to help bring awareness about domestic violence. Summer Joy stopped by to talk to locals to find out more about the event and to find out why they did it.

         One in six women and one in 11 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

        "The most important thing is shatter the silence and talk about it. Sexually violence happens all the time. We don't want to see it, we don't want to talk about it, but if we don't there is no way we are going to stop it," said Aasa Burlin, the Assistant Director for the Anderson Gender Resource Center.
Out of these crimes less than half are reported.

        "People don't come forward because their number one afraid, their afraid of what's going to happen to their family, what happens to my relationship, am I going to lose my kids, and a lot of people believe its their fault and they have been conditioned to believe that and it couldn't be further from the truth," said Mayor of Pocatello, Brian Blad.

        To help bring those statistics down the event wants to bring awareness to local resources that can help.

        "If there is any of kind of violence or if there is anything happening, there is help. Family Service Alliance, even if you are just questioning and you don't know what you want to do or really pursue or not go in there and find out what they can offer. The number is 251-help and give them a call," added Mayor Blad.

        The event offered food, T-shirts, raffle prizes, music, and more, including some tools that can give you the spark you might need to get away. Mayor Brian Blad was also there to take a stand for a safer city of Pocatello.

        "Statistics show that we do have this problem in our area and we need to stop it. It's about bringing the community together, it's about education, about all kinds of different things. We have more people than we did last year, and so I think the word is getting out slowly and it's so important for people to recognize that we do have a problem here and the only way to stop that problem is to recognize that and bring awareness to it," said Mayor Blad.

        Besides wanting to bring awareness about these issues, they wanted to give people an opportunity to speak up and show support.

        "We walk every year and it's really awesome to bring awareness to the community and let people know that there is help out there if you do need it and a lot of people are there for you if you are in a bad situation," said Heather Richards, a participant.

        Family Service Alliance is located on South Arthur Avenue in Pocatello. If you want more information on their services you can go online to www.fsalliance.org or call them at (208) 232-HELP.

    I've made this recipe 4 times already and it's been a hit with cherry craisins and blueberry crasins.

    So tasty, especially if you like sweet with lots of butter! I baked in a convection oven at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, which was perfect for being lightly browned.

A bill given preliminary approval in the state House Tuesday clarifies the difference between "must" and "shall." The so-called "authority verbs" are frequently used in legislation to state that an entity or person is directed to do something.
The legislation approved Tuesday states that "shall" means that a person has a duty. The word "must" means a person or thing is required to meet a condition for a consequence to apply.
Lawmakers joked around using Latin phrases before approving the measure on a unanimous voice vote.  One more vote is required before the grammar bill moves to the Senate.

Apartment complex attracts crime, neighbors say

Santa Fe Apartment on Blanco ‘magnet’ for criminals

The San Antonio Police Department has responded approximately 200 times to the Santa Fe Apartments for crimes including burglary and assault, according to reports issued Thursday.

Neighbors who live in the few blocks behind the complex were not surprised.

“We fall victim to it because of our proximity,” said one man, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation.

He said criminals come and go at all hours of the night, and terrorize people who live near the complex.

“We have to hold our neighborhood watch meetings in secret,” said the man. “If we’re even suspected of talking to the police, we’re viciously retaliated against.”

He said good families have moved out of the neighborhood because of the crime, and has gotten little response from the city for help.

“We’ve reached out multiple times to our city council and haven’t heard back,” said the man.

Requests for comment from Santa Fe Apartment management were not immediately returned.

Council members say goodbye to Julian Castro

Castro resigns Tuesday, now heads to Washington

SAN ANTONIO - Tuesday was an exciting day for the Alamo City as District 2 City Councilwoman Ivy Taylor became mayor of San Antonio, the first African-American woman to ever do so.

But before her confirmation, there were some heartfelt goodbyes and warm wishes for now-former Mayor Julian Castro.

In the coming days, Castro will head to Washington. He’s been confirmed to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

But he's not going without some encouragement from his former fellow council members, such as District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal.

"A lot of people think I'm the Robin to your Batman, but I correct them and tell them I am the Jimminy Cricket to your Pinocchio,” said Bernal.

District 5 Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales agreed, saying those in her district are thankful for Castro's dedication to education.

"In our community, we have so many children that really do look up to you, and really aspire to be the mayor like you," said Gonzales.

District 4 Councilman Rey Saldana said at one time, he was one of those kids who looked up to Castro.

"To know somebody who had come from the West Side of San Antonio, who had gone and applied to a school like Stanford, was enough inspiration for me," said Saldana.

But as District 6 Councilman Ray Lopez concluded, it's his ability to lead -- even in the "hot seat" -- that will serve him well in Washington.

"That being the case, because hot seats are the kinds of things you handle so well, we're not going to let you leave your hot seat behind," said Lopez.

Texhoma Tries to Stay On Top in A-1

Aaron Witten

Texhoma third year head coach Aaron Witten says he knows it won't be easy.  Staying on top of Class A District 1 will require a Texhoma team which lost seven seniors to re-load and beat programs which Witten says are almost all better than last year.

Texhoma has a leg up in that direction with five starters back on offense and five back on defense.  There are 26 Red Devils out for football.

Key Texhoma players include: Sr. RB/S Tyler Ferguson, Sr. OL/LB Colter Reust, Sr. RB/LB Will Gaillard, Sr. RB/LB Ramy Anderson, Sr. OL/DL Josh Meyer, Sr. WR/CB Taylor Folsom, and Sr. RB/QB/LB Nathan Knitig.   Texhoma also has a quarterback who saw 5A snaps at Guymon as Jacob Test transfers to Texhoma after starting for the Tigers.

Texhoma won the district and went to the semis last year before a 35-21 loss to eventual state champ Ringling.  They lose the likes of Bryson Beattie (at OBU now) and Jack Powers but look to make another run in Class A.

Denver, CO (KUSA) - Many dream of becoming an NFL cheerleader, and on Sunday, more than 200 ladies - and one man - got the opportunity to make those dreams one step closer to reality.

Sunday was the first round of the 2012 Denver Bronco Cheerleader and Denver Outlaw Cheerleader tryouts. Just like every year, it was a grueling few hours of learning routines, practicing and auditioning in front of a panel of judges.

There were several veteran Denver Broncos Cheerleaders returning this year that have to tryout just like everyone else, and of course there were many newcomers.

One young man from Denver, Sacha Heppell, made it his mission to get on the team.

Watch the video above to see how he did.

The finals are next Sunday are the finals and they are open to the public. 9NEWS' Corey Rose will be one of the judges who helps choose the new Denver Broncos Cheerleaders.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for Researchers

How can I learn about the Research Institute, Clinical Research Administration services and how to pay research study bills?

Members of the Clinical Research Administration meet with investigators and research team members to introduce clinical trials processes to them at KUMC. We enjoy meeting with study team members. As part of an introduction to CRA services, various members from the Research Institute will meet with you to discuss new trial start-up, electronic systems used for research at KUMC, budgeting and contracting as well as processing study related bills. If you are a new Investigator, study coordinator, research team member to KUMC, or have been at KUMC and want a refresher, a meeting to cover these topics can be scheduled with an Assistant Director by calling ext. 8-5718.

What does the Clinical Research Administration office need for a new industry-funded study?

Before the CRA will start work on a new study, the essential study documents need to be submitted to our office. These documents include the final protocol, template consent form(s), contract template, and draft budget. Other items that are needed are a copy of the site selection letter from the sponsor/CRO, and regulatory document templates (1572, Financial Disclosure Forms, Protocol/IB signature pages). The start-up process is faster when ALL required documents are provided at the same time.

What does the Clinical Research Administration office need for a new investigator-initiated study?

The CRA can start work on investigator-initiated projects after receiving a final copy of the protocol. Your contact in the CRA will draft the consent form(s) for the study and handle any regulatory documents that may be required. If the study involves filing for an IND, there are additional requirements. Contact the CRA if the study will involve an IND or if you need help determining if an IND is needed. If you are seeking funding for your protocol, or have already contacted an industry sponsor regarding funding or provision of study materials, the CRA can also help facilitate the funding budget and contract needed between the Institution and the funding source.

How do I know who is working on my study?

Clinical Trial Regulatory Specialists and Budget and Contract Specialists are assigned by department/disease group. When the Clinical Research Administration office begins working on a new study you will be contacted by the assigned Clinical Trial Regulatory Specialist and Budget and Contract Specialist. If you have any questions or concerns about who is handling your studies, contact the CRA Assistant Director by calling ext. 8-5718.

When can enrollment start?

Enrollment can start after all the following is completed:

  • Human Subjects Committee approval is granted
  • The investigator, the Research Institute and the funding agency of the study have signed the contract or a grant award letter is received and approved by the Research Institute.
  • All administrative paperwork has been completed, including any regulatory documents required for the study.
  • An activation notice is sent to the principal investigator.

Clinical Research Administration will send an activation email to the investigator/study coordinator/study team members to make them aware that all start up work has been completed and the study is now active at KU and ready for enrollment.

After you have received the activation email from the Research Institute and prior to enrolling any subjects, you must first verify with the sponsor/funding agency to make sure they are ready for you to start enrollment under their protocol.

How do I know the status of my study?

Your assigned Clinical Trial Regulatory Specialist and Budget and Contract Specialist will meet with you and your study team on a regular basis and will provide you with updates on the study set-up process. The CRA encourages investigators and study coordinators to actively meet. If you wish to set up times to meet with your Clinical Trial Regulatory Specialist or Budget and Contract Specialist please contact them via telephone or email.

How can I get the budget information?

Once the study has been activated, the study budget information is provided to the study team in the Activation email. However, during the startup process the Budget and Contract Specialist is in contact with the study team to discuss the budget and any changes or needs they require.

How is the budget created?

The budget is created by the Clinical Trials Budget and Contracts Analyst (BCA) in the Research Institute. The BCA reviews the schedule of events in the protocol along with the sponsor budget template. Once the BCA has reviewed the schedule of events the budget construction begins. The BCA will apply for hospital pricing for items to be billed to the research study only. After the pricing information is obtained, a draft budget is completed and sent to the investigator for review.

Does the Research Institute provide training for study coordinators?

One-on-one training is available for review of the CRA services. The Clinical Trials Educational Lecture Series is conducted on a monthly basis from September to May. In addition, small group workshops for study coordinators and investigators are also available.

Can Clinical Research Administration help write a protocol?

Yes! The CRA is available to help investigators develop investigator initiated protocols and consent forms. For more information about this, contact the CRA Assistant Director by calling ext. 8-5718.

What is the Humans Subjects Committee?

The Human Subjects Committee is the institutional review board (IRB) at the University of Kansas Medical Center. It is the ethical review board responsible for review of all human subjects research conducted at KUMC. The Human Subjects Committee is part of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP). The HRPP is part of the Office of Compliance.

FAQs for Industry Partners

What is the affiliation with:

Campus buildings:

The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) has several locations. There are many buildings that are not physically connected to the main campus. Most main campus buildings are within walking distance or are a short drive away.

The University of Kansas Cancer Center and Medical Pavilion, Landon Center on Aging, Hoglund Brain Imaging Center, KU Hospital, the KU Clinical Research Center – Clinical and Translational Science Unit (CTSU) and KU School of Medicine – Wichita & Salina are all affiliated with the University of Kansas Medical Center. Investigators and members of the research study team affiliated with KU can operate at any of the above facilities. Patients can be seen at any of the facilities which are capable of providing care.

Campus addresses:

All campus addresses are affiliated with the University of Kansas Medical Center. As a research institution, the University has multiple spaces and resources devoted to clinical research. All of these resources are used in the pursuit of satisfying the research mission of the University. The addresses which are associated with the University of Kansas Medical Center are the following:

Main Campus Address:

University of Kansas Medical Center (includes KU Hospital):
3901 Rainbow Boulevard
Kansas City, KS 66160

This is the main campus address. The central mailroom in the main campus will deliver all received documents/packages to personnel in outlying buildings. More specific addresses to other clinics and/or buildings are provided when the investigator’s physical address, study procedure or a piece of equipment being utilized is outside of the 3901 Rainbow Boulevard address.
For example, the Landon Center on Aging houses most of the Neurology department at KUMC and the address for this building would be provided on regulatory and other required documents.

Affiliated KUMC Addresses:

University of Kansas Cancer Center and Medical Pavilion:
2330 Shawnee Mission Parkway
Westwood, KS 66205

University of Kansas – Landon Center on Aging
3599 Rainbow Boulevard
Kansas City, KS 66160

Hoglund Brain Imaging Center University of Kansas Medical Center
3901 Rainbow Boulevard
Kansas City, KS 66160

KU Clinical Research Center – Clinical and Translational Science Unit (CTSU)
4350 Shawnee Mission Pkwy
Fairway, KS 66205

University of Kansas School of Medicine Wichita
1010 N Kansas
Wichita, KS 67214

Investigational Pharmacy:

The Investigational Pharmacy is contained within the KUMC campus at 39th and Rainbow. The main entrance and delivery dock to the campus is the 3901 Rainbow Blvd address. However, in order to facilitate the immediate acceptance and storage of study drugs, the IP has its own delivery dock at:

Main Campus
2015 W 39th Street
MS 4040
Kansas City, KS 66160

At the CTSU:
4350 Shawnee Mission Pkwy
Mailstop 6006
Fairway, KS 66205

The University of Kansas has 4 main sites:

  • University of Kansas in Lawrence
  • The University of Kansas Medical Center (includes KU Hospital and outlying buildings) in Kansas City
  • The KU School of Medicine in Wichita
  • The KU School of Medicine in Salina

Can you explain the different ways to identify KUMC and KUMC affiliated sites?

KUMC is short for the University of Kansas Medical Center. The KUMC Research Institute is often abbreviated KUMC-RI. The KU Clinical Research Center or CRC, houses the Clinical and Translational Science Unit (CTSU). Many of KUMC’s researchers use the new CTSU building due to its state of the art construction and convenience for subjects. The acronym “KU” may refer to the University of Kansas or the University of Kansas Medical Center. Many of the employees around campus use these acronyms interchangeably.

Why is the focus on IRB submission prior to collecting regulatory documents?

The critical path to IRB approval starts with initial informed consent form review and approval. The new study submission is a vital part of the new study approval and activation process. It is our goal to submit the study to our local IRB as quickly as possible. We focus on this before completing the regulatory documents. There is about a two week gap between IRB submission and receipt of IRB request for modifications, and during this time we prepare and collect regulatory documents. Regulatory documents can be collected quickly and will not negatively impact the new study activation timeline.

Why are one page CVs not pre-populated by KUMC faculty/staff?

Investigators and supporting study staff members put a lot of time into preparing full length CVs and keeping them up to date. We keep all updated CVs on file in our office and supply them when needed. One page CVs create additional regulatory preparation time and burden when required. If a one page CV is required, the full length CV for each study team member that is included in Box 6 of the 1572 will be sent to the sponsor or CRO for them to prepare according to their guidelines. Once KUMC receives the draft one page CVs from the sponsor or CRO, each investigator will review and if acceptable, sign and date the form.

What alternatives are there to using electronic document sharing sites (i.e. Intralinks)?

KUMC does not have the policies and procedures in place to track and maintain documents using the myriad sponsor websites. The CRA follows its own internal standard operating procedures regarding electronic transmission of regulatory and study-related documents. KUMC cannot be expected to set-up accounts on document sharing sites for each study, sponsor, and CRO. The CRA will ship all original documents to the Sponsor designee. We do require an account number or shipping label. If the sponsor does not want original documents mailed to them, we will email documents to sponsor contact. The originals will be maintained in the site regulatory binder until they can be collected by a sponsor representative.

Who is responsible for signing IRB approval letters?

Per the KUMC IRB: The IRB chairperson, IRB administrator, or Director of the HRPP (Human Research Protection Program) has authority to sign IRB approval letters. Approval letters are issued directly from the electronic IRB system. Letters do not contain wet ink signatures.

When are HSC members not present at a meeting?

No HSC member may participate in the HSC’s initial or continuing review of a project in which the member has conflict of interest. If a conflict exists, the Committee member can provide information requested by the HSC but must be excused during the discussion and the vote. Refer to HSC SOP 2.7.III - Review of Research by the Convened Human Subjects Committee (HSC), Quorum for Full-Committee Review.
HSC SOPs are available online by clicking here.

What are the expected turnaround times for:

  1. Initial informed consent form(s): Target is five days after receipt of all study documents including, but not limited to, the protocol, sponsor ICF templates, budget and contract. IRB submission of new studies is dependent on how efficient initial informed consent review is on behalf of the sponsor and investigator.
  2. IRB submission of new study packet: Target is two weeks (14 days) after receipt of all study documents, if all are received the same day.
  3. Regulatory documents: Target is two weeks (14 days) after initial IRB submission.
  4. Revised informed consent forms due to IRB request for modifications: The CTRS target is to have the revised informed consent to the sponsor and investigator 1-2 days after receipt of IRB letter.
  5. IRB approval of new study: Within approximately one month of initial submission. After initial submission to our local IRB, approval of the study depends on how long it takes to address all IRB requests.

What are the expected new study activation (including IRB approval, approved budget, approved contract) times for:

The main KUMC campus (Kansas City)

Studies requiring FULL COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Our local IRB has no submission deadlines. The IRB started using an electronic system for submissions in July 2013. The IRB meets every Tuesday. The meeting date to which a study is assigned depends on how long it takes for the IRB to process the new study submission information. This is called the pre-review period. If the IRB has no requests during this time, a study will be assigned to a meeting about two weeks after it is submitted.

Requests for modifications from the HSC are usually received on the Friday afternoon of the same week the study is reviewed.

The study contact in the RI will review the modifications and revise the consent form(s) if necessary. Changes to study documents are sent to sponsor and the KU study team as soon as they are prepared.

If the study received “conditional approval” from the IRB, then the changes to the study will be reviewed by the IRB Chair or designee. Resubmission is dependent on the speed of sponsor and investigator review/approval time as well as any outstanding tertiary committee reviews required (i.e. radiation safety, nursing impact).

If the reviewers “defer” the study, then the IRB has serious concerns about the study which need to be addressed. A deferred study must be resubmitted to the same committee for a second full committee review.

Receipt of the new study approval from the IRB depends on type of review required. If the study only needs IRB chair review, approval can be issued quickly. However, it does depend on when the changes are reviewed and can take longer. If a study goes back for a second full committee review, approval will be received within a few days after the meeting. It is possible the IRB will issue additional requests for changes which would push back study approval.

Studies Requiring EXPEDITED REVIEW:
If a study meets expedited review criteria the submission does not go to a full committee review. The submission can be made at any time and the HSC chair or designee will review at any time. It is difficult to estimate turnaround times for these studies since they depend on a review which does not have a pre-determined scheduled. Expedited studies are usually reviewed quickly.

The budget and contract are negotiated in parallel with the IRB process. The Clinical Trials Budgets and Contracts Analyst (BCA) will obtain necessary pricing, draft a budget and obtain PI approval prior to sending a draft budget to the sponsor. After the PI reviews/approves the draft budget, the BCA will start negotiating with the sponsor or CRO.

Contract negotiations occur directly between the BCA and the sponsor or sponsor’s designee. KUMC will not sign the contract until the study is HSC approved and the budget is approved.

Activation of funded studies will occur after the study has HSC approval, all regulatory documents are complete, the budget is negotiated and the contract is fully executed.

It is the target of the Research Institute and the Clinical Research Administration to have new, funded studies activated and ready to enroll in 97 calendar days.

The Wichita Campus

The KU HSC2 (local IRB) meets once a month with the deadline on the 1st Monday of the month and the meeting on the 3rd Monday of the month. Generally, the HSC2 will issue provisos by Wednesday of that week. The CTRS target turnaround time goal is to have them out to the sponsor and PI within 24 hours of receipt. Once responses are received from both sponsor and PI, submission is made to the HSC2. It is reasonable to the expect approval within 3 days. A copy of the HSC deadlines and meeting dates can be found online at

Studies that utilize Via Christi or WMREF patient care facilities must obtain approval from 2 local IRB's (HSC2 and the appropriate patient care facility). Both meet once per month. The process is to obtain approval from one IRB and then submit to the other. If any additional changes come from the second IRB, an updated submission to the 1st IRB must be made. This process continues until all changes from both IRB’s are approved by both IRB’s.

The submission to the hospital/clinic IRB, called WMREF IRB, is made first. Its deadline is the 1st of every month. The meeting date is the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Generally, provisos are received within a few days. The CTRS target turnaround time for proviso review is 24 hours after receipt.

When do medical licenses expire for MD’s and DO’s?

Medical licenses in Kansas are renewed yearly. In Kansas, MD licenses expire on June 30th, while DO licenses expire on September 30th. The CRA division collects new licenses in June and September every year.

Where is data collected for nursing licenses?

Kansas nursing licenses are no longer issued in paper form. Nursing license information is pulled from the Kansas Board of Nursing website. On July 1, 2010 the KSBN stopped issuing the usual wallet card “license.” License status verification is available online at Kansas advance practice nurses, who formerly used ARNP to designate Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, will now sign APRN to designate Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. Kansas joins other states across the nation with uniform credentialing.

Where can I find the most current IRB roster and IRB meeting dates?

The CRA stores copies of the most up-to-date information from our local IRB. We can supply the lists upon requests to study sponsors.

When does the KUMC-RI request revised and updated CV’s?

Updated CVs are requested from investigators and study team members when the CVs are more than 2 years old. The KUMC-RI follows industry standards and requires CVs signed and dated within the last 2 years.

How are documents identified on the IRB approval letter?

All documents that are submitted for a new study and any amendment submission are listed on the IRB approval letter. The KUMC IRB uses an electronic submission system. All documents submitted for review are uploaded into the system. The name for the document as loaded into the system is how the document will be identified on the approval letter.

Why doesn’t KUMC use sponsor’s ICF template?

Unless otherwise negotiated under a reciprocity agreement between KUMC and another institution, all KUMC studies are required to use the KUMC IRB consent form template(s) available online at the Office of Compliance website. This is a requirement by our local IRB. Using the KUMC IRB templates maintains consistency in format, layout, and language. It also maintains compliance with federally required consent form elements. The KUMC consent form templates contain all required elements of informed consent reflecting federal, local and Kansas state laws and policies.

Consent forms are ultimately based off of the protocol. The sponsor’s consent form template is used as a reference. If Sponsor’s consent form contains language which follows KUMC IRB guidelines, its language may be incorporated into the KUMC draft consent form. Otherwise, previously HSC approved language will be utilized.

Language required by the HSC can be found in its templates. Please refer to the HSC website for copies of the consent form templates.

Why is CRA staff not listed on the Delegation Log?

CRA staff is employed by the KUMC-RI. CRA staff helps in the administrative management of the study. We are not considered part of the study team. Some duties and responsibilities of CRA staff include interacting with the IRB, assisting with regulatory compliance requirements, regulatory audits, budget oversight and ongoing study maintenance for funded and unfunded clinical research project.

The Final Cut

September 27, 2010

The Final CutWikipedia | The Final Cut is a 2004 film written and directed by Omar Naim. It stars Robin Williams, James Caviezel, Mira Sorvino, Christopher Britton, and Genevieve Buechner. It was produced by Lions Gate Entertainment and filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and in Berlin, Germany. The film featured original music by Brian Tyler. The story takes place in a near future in which people can pay to have their babies implanted with memory chips. These “Zoe Implants”, developed by EYE Tech company, record every moment of their lives, so that they may be viewed by loved ones after one’s death. The plot centers on Alan Hakman, a “cutter”, whose job it is to edit the Zoe footage into a feature-film length piece, called a “Rememory”.

The Final Cut is about subjectivity, memory and history; posing the question, “If history is what is written and remembered, then what happens when memories are edited and rewritten?” The topic is similarly dealt with in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, wherein the protagonist works for the “Ministry of Truth”, a bureaucracy charged with re-writing history so as to reflect the current stance of Big Brother.

The film opens with Hakman (Williams) as a child, and another child named Louis Hunt, as they enter an abandoned factory. They come to a long wooden plank suspended high above the floor. Louis falls after Hakman goads him into crossing the plank. Hakman witnesses him bloody and dead. The film advances to Hakman’s adult life, portraying him creating two rememories from Zoe implants. It turns out that Hakman is a very skillful cutter whose edits can make “saints out of criminals”, and his services are highly valued by rich immoral people (Hakman sees himself doing a good deed, as a sin-eater who removes past crimes from dead people so they can rest in peace). At the screening of a rememory, a fellow cutter, Fletcher (Caviezel), offers Hakman $500,000 for the Bannister footage he recently acquired. Bannister is a former EYE Tech manager, and it appears the Zoe footage reveals details of his life of a scandalous nature, implied to be child molestation of his young daughter. It becomes clear that Fletcher is allied with the anti-Zoe protesters, and wants the footage to discredit EYE Tech and the implant. Hakman refuses to surrender it after locating in the footage a person he believes to be Hunt; he sets the “Guillotine”, which in the film is the computer used to sort and edit (“cut”) the Zoe footage, to search for more images of the man. Upon entering a bar to get a handgun, the film director Omar Naïm can be seen as a sitting customer for about two seconds.

Hakman and his colleagues break into the EYE Tech headquarters to locate Hunt’s Zoe footage as a second source, and although he does not find Hunt’s footage, because the two names begin with the letter ‘H’ he discovers a file under his own name. He realizes that he himself has a Zoe implant, violating the cutter’s code that no cutter may have one.

In his distress, Hakman brings his lover Delila (Sorvino) into his apartment, and leaves her alone with his Guillotine. He immediately undergoes the first stage of a specialized tattooing procedure to end the implant’s ability to record audio, he has to wait a week later to get a second tattoo that will remove video. When he returns he puts bullets in his firearm under the belief that Fletcher and his associate have broken into his apartment to steal the Bannister footage. Instead, he finds Delila poring over the full Zoe footage of her late boyfriend. Hakman apparently has kept the footage and has vicariously used it to fill in what’s lacking in his life, experiencing their relationship in all its passion and perhaps turning it into the basis for all the feelings he has for her. Delila becomes angry that her private memory with her boyfriend is used in such a manner, and shoots the Guillotine, the bullet hits the Bannister card destroying its footage.

Hakman then requests that his colleagues perform a dangerous procedure to biopsy the Zoe footage from his own brain, so he can obtain closure on Hunt’s death. On viewing the footage, which is much more accurate than his own recollection, he discovers that Louis survived the childhood fall, and what he mistook for blood was actually spilled paint.

When Fletcher and his associate finally break in to steal the Bannister footage, they find out it has been destroyed. Hakman lies to Bannister’s wife that a technical fault destroyed it. Hakman visits Louis’ grave, and is joined by Fletcher, who has discovered through the tattoo parlour that Hakman has an implant and that it recorded the critical images from the Bannister footage. Foregoing the biopsy procedure, Fletcher chases Hakman through the graveyard filled with video tombstones, eventually catching up to Alan but hesitant to shoot him. Fletcher’s associate, having concealed his presence during the chase between Alan and Fletcher, then shoots Hakman in the back, killing him. The film closes with Fletcher cutting images of Hakman’s editing of the Bannister footage, promising that Hakman’s life will mean something.

In the last shot of the movie, Alan Hakman looks at himself in a mirror through his own eyes. But when he looks away and walks off, the camera keeps watching the empty mirror instead of watching what he sees.

The film won the award for best screenplay at the Deauville Film Festival and was nominated for best film at the Catalonian International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival.
