Written by (David Seltzer), Roald Dahl from his book
Produced by Stan Marguiles, David L. Wolper
Directed by Mel Stuart
I don't think that Tim Burton's lavish remake is going to diminish the appeal of 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a charming, smartly realized film version of Roald Dahl's popular children's book. Burton's gothic weirdness is no improvement over director Mel Stuart's straight version, which gives the off-kilter character of Willy Wonka (one of Gene Wilder's best performances ever) a slight edge without ever spilling over into real menace.
Independent producer David Wolper clearly saw Wonka as a shot at a genuine children's classic, his The Wizard of Oz. Gene Wilder is certainly a fresh casting idea, when a big studio would probably insist on someone like Dick Van Dyke. As we learn in the thorough disc extras, Wolper and Stuart made some tough production decisions to sustain a timeless, non- showbiz atmosphere. Top singer Sammy Davis Jr. lobbied to perform the film's leadoff song "The Candyman" but had to settle for a #1 hit cover version. Having the less known actor Aubrey Woods sing the song in the film adds to Willy Wonka's creative integrity. No showstoppers, please -- the story comes first.
Roald Dahl's narrative takes place in a world of economic realities. Young Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) is desperate to win a Golden Ticket to the re-opening of Willy Wonka's mysterious candy factory, which has been closed to the public for ten years. Thinking all the desired tickets are accounted for, Willy thoughtfully buys his Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson) a candy bar. It happens to contain the last winner -- Charlie will receive a lifetime supply of chocolate and go on the exclusive guided tour. Greeting his guests at the gate, the decidedly odd Wonka (Gene Wilder) ushers them into his secret factory with chocolate rivers and fantastic candy making machines, all maintained by a race of strange little people called Oompa Loompas. The other four winning children are by turns greedy, gluttonous, vain and obnoxious. One by one they break the rules and are expelled from the factory through a series of disturbing "accidents". Wonka seems to be testing his young guests and finding them seriously wanting. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe break a rule as well -- will Wonka reject them as well?
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant 70s climate of children's films, when "All Family" fare had devolved into mindless pap like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The admirable Mister Wonka would likely turn that film's chirping brats into statues of rock candy, just to shut them up. For all its fantasy, the world of Wonka is fairly realistic. Even the master candy maker must make hard business decisions. Seeing his best candies stolen by competitors, Wonka closed his shop and carried on in strictest secrecy -- as sort of a combination Walt Disney and Howard Hughes. No wonder he's a bit of an eccentric.
The story has a slightly freaky aspect, something that kids have always appreciated. Charlie Bucket is a whimsical Dickensian lad, always acting the little gentleman and trying not to show his disappointment to his loving family, who are never exaggerated or held up as paragons. As Charlie's Mom, actress Diana Sowle gets her own song ("Cheer up, Charlie") yet is not over-sentimentalized. The other five children are spoiled little monsters, each with their own theme. Power-mad little princess Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole) demands that her father (Roy Kinnear, in fine form) buy her everything she sees; her song is "I Want It Now!" The competitive gum-chewer Violet Beauregard (Denise Nickerson of Smile) demands attention at all times. Augustus Gloop (Michael Bollner) is a mindless glutton and the TV-obsessed Mike Teevee (Paris Themmen) is a willful loudmouth. The parents are a typically indulgent bunch, some less obnoxious than others. Violet's father (Leonard Stone) is a sales obsessed car dealer. All seem blind to their children's bad behavior, leaving only Charlie and his grandfather to come off as imperfect but reasonable. Willy Wonka does proffer a strong message in favor of civil, unselfish behavior. The Oompa Loompas' recurring song is more often than not about what separates kids from clods.
Willy Wonka himself is a truly original character, a strange egg and potential madman. He forces the kids to sign an unreadable waiver and makes excuses not to answer direct questions. When confronted directly, he'll pause to offer odd detached statements: "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams". Wonka appears unmoved by the "accidental" fates of the kids that break the rules: "Well, well, well, two naughty, nasty little children gone." Admitting that an ejected child and its parent have fallen into the factory's furnace, he adds, "Well, I think that furnace is only lit every other day, so they have a good sporting chance, haven't they?" On a boat ride through a tunnel lined with disturbing images of giant eyes and huge insects, Wonka purposely drives his passengers into a panic. He's a great substitute for Vincent Price!
Although some parents were not pleased, kids didn't feel threatened by the film's exaggerated punishments. They love watching the 'bad' children sent down pipes to unknown fates, shrunk by an ill-advised trip through a matter transmitter or turned into a giant blueberry. Added to the original is Wonka's sinister scarred competitor Mr. Slugworth (Günter Meisner from Wolper's superior combat film The Bridge at Remagen), who tempts each child with a fortune if they'll steal a sample of Wonka's revolutionary new candy, the Everlasting Gobstopper. While enjoying Wonka's twisted asides, adults can admire the fanciful art direction of Harper Goff, the design genius behind 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Vikings and many other films. Filmed in a studio in Munich, Willy Wonka is more visually pleasing than the far more expensive Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The final revelations are satisfying, if not particularly useful in real life: kids will find that thoughtful and unselfish behavior can bring satisfying personal rewards, but not necessarily success and fortune. The Veruca Salts of the world tend to inherit daddy's factories, while the giant Wonka Works will likely fall into the hands of a multinational corporation. The Oompa Loompas will be fired and replaced with outsourced semi-slave labor in an undeveloped Third World country; to save an extra 1/100th of a cent per unit the greedy executives will allow the candy bars to be laced with cancer-causing chemicals. Just the same it's impossible not to feel the deserving Charlie's elation as he soars into the clouds -- even though Willy recites the words "Happily ever after" as if they were a yet undisclosed curse of adult life, something hidden in his unreadable disclaimer waiver.
Warner Home Video's glowing Blu-ray of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory makes Mel Stuart's movie look better than ever before, as we can see much farther into the detail of the amazing Wonka candy factory. The proper widescreen format helps as well, restoring Arthur Ibbetson's colorful compositions. Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's songs are especially good. The story is so strong that we're surprised by every new musical number, which turns out to be brief, melodic, and to the point. Singing rights are granted to minor players as well as the star, something unheard of in a bigger-deal musical.
The extras are ported over from earlier deluxe DVD releases. The five Wonka kids speak on their own commentary and take part in a pleasing 2001 featurette called Pure Imagination. Relating the film's production story are producer David Wolper, writer David Seltzer and director Mel Stuart. Gene Wilder contributes some amusing observations, ending with a funny admonition to the now 42 year-old Paris Themmen -- who he claims was an impossible brat all the way through filming.
Also included are an original promotional featurette, a trailer and four sing-along songs. Warner's book-like packaging indeed contains a 37-page book with colorful photos. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is far superior to 70's children's fare -- I remember attending Disney's excruciating Napoleon and Samantha -- and still a treat equal or better than what's available today.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Blu-ray rates:
Supplements: Commentary with 5 "Wonka Kids", 2001 docu Pure Imagination, original featurette, sing-alongs, trailer

Cricket International
South Africa v Australia: Time to reign in David Warner and put an end to 'mental dis-integration'
Alex Broun 7/03/2018
David Warner needs to tone down
Graeme Smith says David Warner is a 'bit of a fool' for losing his cool in "stairwell-gate"
As an Australian, it's difficult to take sides in this heated dispute – especially the other side – but it's hard not to agree with the former Proteas captain here.
Warner led an hour long "mental disintegration" assault on Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram as the South African duo threatened to pull off one of the greatest rescue acts in Test cricket history.
The tirade included Warner labelling de Kock's sister a "bush pig" and also comments about the wicket-keepers mother. As Ron Burgundy said – "Leave mom out of it!"
Warner is even captured as the teams are going off the field still berating de Kock calling him a "f****** sook." Class act Dave!
CWC 2019: Jofra Archer v David Warner and other key clashes as England play Australia for a spot in Lord's final
Cricket World Cup 2019 LIVE: Australia aim to secure top position v South Africa
David Warner and his wife Candice Falzon.
A few moments later the usually quiet de Kock had finally had enough and as the teams entered the dressing rooms fired back a comment relating to Warner's wife, Candice Falzon, and an infamous tryst with All Blacks rugby star Sonny Bill Williams.
Cue hysteria from Warner who then had to be restrained by team mates. In the end it looked like Warner was the one "mentally dis-integrating."
The Australian team and management then lined up in mock outrage – "We never get personal", "They took it too far", "De Kock crossed the line".
The rest of the world is now asking 'What exact line would that be?'
The same line that Ramnaresh Sarwan crossed replying to Glenn McGrath back in 2003 – Glenn similarly when into overdrive.
Sarwan and McGrath crossed "the line' back in 2003.
But if you are going to call someone's sister a "bush-pig" what else do you expect.
Davey, Davey, Davey – glass house. Big stone. Play with fire, get burnt. What don't you get?
Coach Darren Lehmann stood by Warner after the incident but hopefully behind closed doors he is a delivering a different message.
Something along the lines of: "David – you are a remarkable man who has turned his life around both on and off the field, you and Candice have created a wonderful family. Do you really want your kids to see you behaving like this? We don't need to do this to win cricket games."
But the question is now being asked can the Aussie team win cricket matches without acting like goats?
Is this "mental dis-integration" approach so linked to their psyche that they become, as McGrath would say, "p******" without it?
It's good to see the ICC stepping in and sanctioning Warner, and to a lesser extent De Kock, but the Umpires on the field – Kumar Dharmasena and Sundaram Ravi – should have acted sooner.
Kumar Dharmasena (r) should have acted quicker in Durban.
If you're not stepping in when someone's sister is being branded an animal – when are you going to?
It was the duo's lack of action that allowed the situation to overheat as it did and resulted in the greatly regrettable outburst that followed.
Let's hope when things get heated on Friday in Port Elizabeth – as no doubt they will – the Umps get involved earlier.
Cricket does not need – nor can it stand – too many more blow-ups in stairwells.
Already there is a lot of competition from other sports for the hearts and minds of young men and women.
When parents see a player with the standing of Warner acting in such an appalling manner – and that behaviour being supported by his team mates (yes you Tim Paine), captain and coach – what kind of message does it send out?
As a former wicketkeeper myself and one who indulged in more than enough sledging in my time – the practice does not do any credit to either party: the sledger or the sledged.
This kind of crude 'banter' is only accepted in cricket and there is no reason why it should be tolerated any longer.
For the game's sake it's time for the sledging to end.

Former South Africa star Herschelle Gibbs begins new innings as coach of Kuwait men's team
Sport360 staff 7/03/2018
Gibbs has kick-started his coaching career.
Former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs has been appointed as the new coach of the Kuwait national team.
Gibbs was officially appointed as the coach of the middle-east nation on February 18 during the conclusion of Kuwait Cricket's annual general meeting, the Kuwait Times reported on Tuesday.
The maverick Proteas cricketer was in the news recently after India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin responded with a match-fixing jibe to his Twitter banter.
Gibbs was on hand to attend the AGM at the Kuwaiti capital, where he was called on to the stage by the president Haider Farman.
During the meeting, plans were also laid out for the men's team preparations for the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 qualifiers in April.

A post shared by Herschelle Gibbs (@herschellegibbs) on Mar 4, 2018 at 8:28pm PST
On his part, the South African expressed excitement on his appointment and stressed the importance of fitness and team work to achieve short and long term goals.
The gifted former batsman has 90 Test caps, 248 ODI and 23 T20 appearances for his country in a 15 year long international career. He scored over 8,000 runs in the one-day format with the help of 21 hundreds while scoring over 6,000 runs in Test cricket on the back of 14 tons.
He is most fondly remembered for smashing an 111-ball 175 against Australia at the Wanderers to help South Africa chase down a world-record 434 in an ODI during 2006.

Kapil Dev urges Virat Kohli to play county cricket to improve record in England
Kohli's participation in the sole Test remains under a cloud.
Former India skipper Kapil Dev has advised Virat Kohli to test his mettle in the county cricket circuit if he wants to prepare himself for the tour of England.
The legendary all-rounder had led India to their maiden ICC World Cup crown in 1983, on English soil. While speaking to the British media, Kapil Dev emphasised on the point that Kohli should be able to score runs in all conditions to be considered a true great of the game.
"Practice makes a man perfect. One has to practise those conditions," he said.
"The bar which we as cricketers set for these people is that you have to be good in all conditions. That's what we used to say about Allan Border or Vivian Richards or Sunil Gavaskar – they were players to play any part, anywhere, any kind of conditions, they used to perform.
"Virat Kohli, the question mark is in front of him, it's there. He has to get runs where it is considered to be the toughest conditions in the world."
Cricket World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli's woeful record in knockout matches continues with poor show against New Zealand
Andrew Strauss urges England star Ben Stokes to stay grounded after 2019 World Cup high
India are slated to tour England in June this year n for five Tests, as many ODIs and a sole T20. Kohli, who has been scoring run for fun of late, has a dismal record in England compared to his remarkable numbers in other parts of the world.
The right-handed batsman had averaged a measly 13.4 on his last tour of the country in 2014.
The 29-year-old has previously expressed his desire to test himself in county cricket. However, with his commitments to the Indian Premier League (IPL), it will be a difficult call for the Indian skipper to make since it clashes with the county season.
Kapil Dev believes a season or two in county cricket could do Kohli a world of good.
Kapil Dev led India to its first World Cup title in 1983.
"What we're seeing, with his temperament, I think he's good enough. It all depends if he gets a good start. He has the ability," he stated.
"If he can play a season or two in English county cricket there would be nothing wrong, because if you want to be the best player in the world you have to get runs everywhere."
Cheteshwar Pujara and Ishant Sharma have signed up for county teams for the 2018 season after missing out on the IPL auctions earlier.
Previously, many Indian stalwarts have tried their hand in England's domestic competition. The likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Rahul Dravid and Ravichandran Ashwin have all had various stints in county cricket over the course of their careers.
While his multi-million dollar deal with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL means it is impossible that the Indian superstar will play county cricket any time soon, it would be great to see Kohli take up the challenge of county cricket somewhere down the line.

I love finding new and upcoming companies that are out there doing good things. For a while now I've been following the Off Grid Food Company located in Washington State and decided it was time to reach out to have them on for a conversation.
Spencer has a pretty awesome story about how he came to create his backpacking/hunting food company. Not only is a great story, but Spencer has a way about him that makes approaching the topic of food logical and not at all confusing.
If you're like me, you sometimes struggle finding new foods to bring with you and often find your appetite changing once you're out in the mountains. You might also wonder what the heck backpacking food is all about and why it looks like something from outer space.
On this episode, Spencer and I talk about his company, how it started, why it started, and what it offers consumers. It's a great conversation with a great guy and I was honored to have him on the podcast.
Please enjoy this episode with the Off Grid Food Company!
Taking the time to listen to this podcast is greatly appreciated! If you have questions or comments, feel free to reach me at emory@byland.co or leave a comment below. I'd love to hear from you.

This is an account of what I witnessed the night Ian Tomlinson died on the G20 demonstrations, and my account of the investigation up until then.
I believe it sheds some light on;The initial response of the police to Mr Tomlinson when he was dying.The nature of the symptoms Mr Tomlinson displayed.
An insiders view of the IPCC investigation and some of its flaws.
I'm aware that this is a lengthy article, but it is a thorough account of my experience over the last 16 months. It needs to be long.
This is not going to be a short article. I have a lot to say. Nearly sixteen months ago, I stood and watched a man die on a central London street.
Since then the story of Ian Tomlinson has made it all the way across the globe. Last Thursday that story was brought to an end when Keir Starmer, Director of Public Prosecutions for the CPS, stood up in front of the media and announced that no officer would face criminal charges. His reasoning was poor and his arguments unconvincing. In the end, after three post-mortems, a five hundred day investigation, and one crucial video clip, the saga ended with a whitewash. There will be no justice, no meaningful resolution.
Those responsible for the death of a 47-year old newspaper vendor will not be held to account. His family are left with their grief and the prospect of endless appeals, inquests and documentaries, each promising what now cannot be delivered; justice and closure. And so I have decided to state publicly my experience, in the belief that all that really matters now is for as many people as possible to know the truth about what happened to Ian Tomlinson and the reasons why nothing will be done.
Wednesday April 1st, 2009. The time had just passed seven o'clock in the evening and I was standing about halfway down Cornhill, near Bank, with a group of other demonstrators. We had just been forced down the street away from the main group of demonstrators by a police baton charge. For most of the day, the atmosphere had been relatively calm, but in the last half hour things had changed. The police, who for most of the day had been subdued but menacing, lashing out only occasionally, were now on the offensive and trying to clear the streets. Dogs had been brought out and set on protestors. People had been grabbed and arrested.
I saw one man get his head deliberately smashed against the open door of a police van as he was dragged along by several officers. The peaceful, almost carnival mood that had characterised the day had not quite disappeared, but now people were tenser, more afraid, more angry.
I remember looking up and seeing a man coming down Cornhill away from the police lines. He was half running, half stumbling, speaking to himself and gesticulating as he walked. He caught a few eyes and from his dress and demeanour it was clear he wasn't a protestor. He bumped into a building, stopped, turned and fell, almost comically, to the ground. He lay there, flat on his back. A few people laughed, thinking he was either drunk or clowning around. I waited for him to get up, but he didn't. I nudged my sister, at the time a third year medical student, and pointed him out. She went over to see if he needed first aid and I went with her.
We asked if he was alright and he told us he was, lifting his head up and smiling. However, he appeared unable to stand. Then his head dropped back to the ground and he stopped answering our questions. My sister felt for his pulse. It was weak, but at this point he was still breathing normally. She placed him in the recovery position and word went through the crowd that a man was hurt. People with a megaphone started calling to the police for help. Someone next to me phoned an ambulance. Then the collapsed man's breathing changed, becoming deep and hoarse, sounding similar to deep sleep snoring. Later I found out this may have been what is known as agonal breathing, or the death rattle, as the body starts to close down. The ambulance operator told my sister to lay him on his back which we did. I remember his legs spasming at this point, and although his eyes were open, they were glazed and unable to focus.
Then suddenly the crowd surged. The police had carried out a running clearance, striking people with batons, and the crowd of demonstrators ran helter skelter down the narrow street. I retreated a few yards, but my sister stayed by the man's his feet, protecting him from the running crowd, shouting that someone was hurt. The charge stopped. The crowd gathered again around the man on the floor. Later, my sister told me that at this point she was just about to start CPR.
But then a group of police officers arrived, and shouted at the crowd surrounding the dying man to get back. My sister refused to leave his side, and was eventually physically shoved backwards. They formed a ring around him and wouldn't move. The man with the phone held it out to the officers saying the operator had asked to speak to them. They shouted at him to get back and didn't take the phone. Police medics arrived and began checking his body from head to foot. At this point, a glass bottle, thrown from the back of the crowd smashed against a street sign about three metres away from the police and around twenty above their heads. Immediately people shouted at whoever had thrown it, telling them a man was lying on the floor, telling them to let the police do their jobs. After that, nothing more was thrown.
We retreated to the bottom of Cornhill, and eventually the police line pushed forward, forcing people out of the road. An ambulance arrived sometime later, and was forced to wait at the police line before it was let through. The remaining demonstrators were chased from Bank over London Bridge into South London. I have rarely seen the police so violent or vindictive, chasing people down and striking them with extendable steel batons. It was a busy London evening and passers-by received the same treatment. The police looked out of control.
On the way home, my sister fretted constantly about what had happened to the man we'd seen. The way he lost consciousness, she said, looked like a reaction to brain trauma. When we got in and turned on the news we saw someone was reported dead. A photo was released of police medics tending to a man lying on the ground. It was him. He was named as Ian Tomlinson.
Of the many things that stay with me from that night, some stick out more strongly. When the police carried out the running charge, they had heard over the megaphone that a man was lying on the floor injured, possibly severely. To willingly panic and scatter the crowd at this point was nothing short of negligent. Had it not been for my sister placing herself at his feet, Ian Tomlinson could easily have been trampled. Secondly, given his deteriorating condition, the time that was lost when the police refused to listen to the people tending to him, refused to speak to the ambulance operator and made the ambulance wait at the bottom of Cornhill before it was let through their lines could have been crucial.
Needless to say my sister and I have discussed these events many times in the months that have followed. Although she was unable to save his life, she draws some comfort from the fact that she managed to sit with him as he was dying, to tell him everything would be ok and to hold his hand. For my part, after what I saw her do, I'm just proud that she's my sister.
Unsurprisingly, by the next day, the story was all over the papers. But the reports were strangely different to my recollection of events. The articles read, 'police pelted with missiles as they tried to help dying man' and 'protestors attack police with bricks and bottles as they tried to resuscitate a man who had collapsed at the G20 demonstrations'. These rumours were started by the City of London police press statement and were later withdrawn. In addition to this the articles contained a second, strange piece of detail. Despite the fact that no post-mortem had been conducted, suddenly it was reported that Mr Tomlinson had died of a heart attack. This was also drawn from the police press statement. When my sister read that, she told me that if it was a heart attack, considering what she knew about the symptoms, she would quit medicine. She was in the middle of a placement at the London Chest Hospital at the time.
That night, we went to a meeting at a left-wing resource centre in Whitechapel. We told our story, and some people from the independent news website, Indymedia, took written and video statements from us which contradicted the statement the police had released earlier.
The next day other witnesses came forward, saying they had seen Mr Tomlinson being assaulted by police in three separate locations. The talk of a hail of missiles disappeared from the press. But still, without any evidence to confirm it, most newspapers maintained that he had died of a heart attack.
At the weekend, the results of the first post-mortem were released. Ian Tomlinson, it was said, had collapsed and died of cardiac arrest. When I read that, I phoned my sister and listened to her swear several times. I can't believe it, she said, there is no way that was a heart attack. He'd shown no signs of chest pain, he hadn't even clutched at his chest. He had collapsed and then slipped out of consciousness.
At this point, I honestly believed it was over. I thought the story would disappear from the news, Ian Tomlinson would be buried, and I would spend the rest of my life telling people who didn't know or care that there was more to it than they said in the paper.
But then on Monday, we got a call from Sky News. We met them in a flat in Mile End, and they showed us a video, that had been sent to the Guardian of a police officer hitting Ian Tomlinson from behind and throwing him to the floor. That video has now travelled all over the world, but the first time I saw it, I couldn't watch. The way he was attacked, the way he fell, so sickeningly hard onto the pavement was horrible to see. But worse was how little he was expecting it, how he was walking away, passively hands in pockets, with no idea what the police officer standing behind him was preparing to do.
The family's lawyers requested a second post mortem with a different pathologist and the cause of death was announced as internal bleeding. So now the story was out. We knew the truth and so did everyone else. This wouldn't be another Blair Peach or Kevin Gately, this time the person who had done it would be held responsible.
But as things wore on and we became involved in the IPCC investigation, this began to feel increasingly less likely. My sister was interviewed first on April 25th 2009. During the course of it, she was told that they were interested in speaking to her because she had seen Mr Tomlinson bump into a pillar before he collapsed. The interviewer made it clear that the reason this was important was because they were investigating other potential causes of Mr Tomlinson's internal bleeding. My sister assured them that the bump was a minor incident, a gentle collision that looked almost deliberate, as if Mr Tomlinson was intentionally exaggerating his movements. However their interest in this collision did not die down.
When they contacted me I was told that despite all I had to say about the symptoms he displayed and the actions of the police who attended to him, the collision with the pillar was the sole reason they wanted to speak to me. My interviewer admitted that she had been asked to specifically investigate this incident, again stating that it might be an alternative cause of the internal bleeding. I repeatedly told them it couldn't have been. It was the kind of minor impact people sustain on a daily basis. But they persisted, and both my sister and I were later called back down to Cornhill to recreate the impact for a video statement.
They also spoke to a friend who had been with us on Cornhill, but hadn't witnessed Mr Tomlinson's collapse. In the course of an interview that lasted over an hour, she was quizzed on what she'd been doing by Bank that day, how often she went to demonstrations and her political beliefs. They wanted to know when climate camp would meet again and details of the Stop the War organisers. By the end she was in tears.
Towards the end of my interview, I told the interviewer about the empty glass bottle which had been thrown from the back of the crowd. She nodded and told me, despite having read my two written statements, that she was very interested in that, because although they knew many missiles had been thrown that day, this was the only evidence of a Molotov cocktail. I explained again, more slowly, that the item thrown was an empty glass bottle. Whether she didn't know the difference between those two things, whether she was trying to put words in my mouth, whether it was just a Freudian slip, I don't know. But I left the interview feeling even less optimistic about the potential outcome of the case. In my opinion, the IPCC were had their priorities in the wrong place. Instead of investigating what we had to say, the opinion I left with is that they were only interested in building a defence.
In the meantime a third post-mortem had been carried out, but the results were not released to the press or even the family of Ian Tomlinson. I was told by the IPCC in May that a decision would not be made until around Christmas. But things wore on, Christmas came and went and so did the one year anniversary. Slowly the press, on the few occasions they did mention it, returned to referring to Ian Tomlinson as the man who died of a heart attack during the G20 demonstrations. More time passed. And then, on the day before the fifth anniversary of the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes, the CPS announced that they would present their decision on the case publicly tomorrow morning.
And so, last Thursday, I sat down in front of the television with my sister and watched Keir Starmer announce that the officer would not face charges. Manslaughter was out of the question, he said, because a link could not be proved between the assault and the death given the conflict of medical opinion. The first post-mortem would create too great a conflict in the medical evidence for causation to be proved. That post-mortem was carried out by a pathologist named Freddy Patel, who is facing being struck off for incompetence after a horrific record of mistakes (see here for more details).
In that post mortem, Mr Patel discovered three litres of a liquid he called 'blood' in Mr Tomlinson's abdomen. But due to a partial blockage of the coronary artery, he ruled that the cause of death was a heart attack. He later changed his statement to say that the fluid was a small amount of blood mixed with ascites, a liquid present due to an underlying liver condition. He had disposed of all the liquid without keeping a sample, so his conclusion could not be challenged. He had also carried out the post mortem alone, contrary to medical practice. The subsequent post mortems ruled that Mr Tomlinson had died as a result of a ruptured liver caused by blunt force trauma, perhaps his elbow as he fell. No one knows why Mr Patel, with his record, was picked to be the pathologist for the first post-mortem. No one knows why despite the liquid present in the abdomen, he ruled death by coronary artery disease. No one knows why he later changed his notes and disposed of the liquid. No one knows why, rather than allowing a jury to decide which evidence to accept, the CPS would not proceed with the case. But we can guess.
Starmer went on to say that a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm was also not possible on account of the differences in the medical evidence. This is even more tenuous. The CPS admit that Mr Tomlinson suffered bruising from baton strikes and dog bites. That, in most cases, would be enough to bring a charge. But not, apparently, in this one. Finally, Starmer concluded that the simple charge of common assault, which he admitted had occurred, would not be bought because the time limit for prosecution was six months and that had passed. Despite conclusive evidence of this offence being available less than six days after it happened, the agonisingly slow pace of the investigation meant a whole six months was not enough time to bring a charge.
The interview with his family outside the CPS building is one of the saddest pieces of footage I have ever seen. The stress of the last year was visible on their faces and the mixture of anger, grief and defeat in their comments was heart breaking. That afternoon I attended a vigil outside Scotland Yard with my sister. That too was a depressing affair, with less than thirty attendees, who vowed to fight on, but seemed to know, inside, that the fight was over.
So what do we take away from this? For me, these are the salient points. The way Ian Tomlinson was treated by police when he was assaulted is not a one off. It had been happening, and continued to happen all day. It wasn't the first time I'd seen it, and it wasn't the worst I've witnessed. I have seen, on many occasions, police approach peaceful demonstrations with unnecessary and even vitriolic levels of violence and aggression. It is that deliberate tactic, not a one off bad officer, that killed Ian Tomlinson. Secondly, the immediate response to his death from the police was to lie, brazenly, publicly and apparently without fear of being caught. With the exception of one journalist, the entire mainstream media swallowed these lies completely, and the reports of a hail of missiles and death by natural causes have clouded the affair from the start. This is a damning indictment of the effectiveness of our national press, and begs the question, how many other times have they got it wrong? Thirdly it has exposed the IPCC and CPS as lacking both the will and the ability to dispose of justice effectively when the accused is wearing a police uniform. This gives the police something close to impunity, and the result is the violence that characterizes demonstrations and police cells up and down the country. Here, if nowhere else, something must change.
Ultimately, this is a tragic story which ends with no justice. After what I saw, and my close involvement in the case from the beginning, it is impossible not to become emotionally involved. Despite everything that was done, despite the evidence that was produced, despite the video footage, despite the efforts of lawyers, journalists and the family, in the end, the desire to protect a man in uniform was too strong, and now nothing can be done. To know that leaves me feeling hollow and cynical. But my heart goes out to his family, who are left to grieve knowing that the person who did this to their father and husband was allowed to walk away. For them at least, it will never be over and never be laid to rest. What happened last Thursday has taken that possibility away from them.


For this project we had to redesign an existing book with a typographic approach. I chose Sun-tzu's The Art of War, a classic book about the philosophy of war and how it applies in your everyday life. The logo design on the cover was inspired by the Chinese longevity symbol in which I incorporated custom lettering. The bright red and black logo on the dark textured background reflects the strong and powerful theme of this book. Inside, each proverb was recrafted typographically for emphasis with the corresponding comments below. A serif typeface was used for the proverbs and I decided to use a script-like font for the comments. It is a bit unusual to do so for a book, but I thought it would be interesting to include an ancient vibe to the reading. The overall design offers the reader a feel of old with a modern twist.
For this typography project we had to design a fictional book cover inspired by the movie Fight Club. In my particular case, the teacher wanted me to also get inspired by David Carson's work.


Jacob More (1740–1793) was a Scottish landscape painter.
Jacob More was born in 1740 in Edinburgh. He studied landscape and decorative painting with James Norie's firm. He took the paintings of Gaspard Dughet and Claude Lorrain as his models.
By 1773 More had settled in Italy, and spent the rest of his life there; but he exhibited Italian landscapes at the Royal Academy in London in the 1780s.
In 1787 he was visited by Goethe, who considered his work 'admirably thought out'.
In 1791 he moved to Rome. In Italy he rivalled Jacob Philipp Hackert; and he befriended Allan Ramsay (1713-1784). In Rome he enjoyed a high reputation, and was commissioned to design a garden for the Villa Borghese in the Scottish landscape style.

New 2G > More pages, more content
Since it first appeared in 1997, 2G has made an international name for itself as a quality magazine of great prestige. Its careful selection of architects, rigorous editorial standards and thoughtful, attractive design are the basic ingredients that have contributed to 2G's global standing.
Building on this success, Spring 2011 will see the launch of a revamped 2G. Each issue will have an extra 32 pages (giving a total of 176 pp.), allowing for more in-depth analysis, as well as more information on featured works and projects, more illustrations, and more detailed data.
The structure of the publication, which has proved popular with readers, will remain unchanged: an introductory text or texts by critics of international renown, analysing and commenting on the buildings and projects featured in the central section; a central section with 15 to 20 works and projects; and a final section, called "nexus", that presents other aspects of the architect's thought and sources of inspiration, either through the architect's own writing, or through a conversation with other architects and critics.
These changes will help 2G remain faithful to its spirit of going "beyond the obvious" (Manuel Aires Mateus), "never following fashions and always dealing with matters of substance" (Tadao Ando), "constantly questioning the architectural profession, where it's going…" (Burkhalter Sumi Architekten) and "providing the readers with a sense of proximity and surprise with every visit to the buildings and projects featured" (Mansilla + Tuñón). All of which reflects what Toyo Ito has called "the great spirit of the publishing house".

Attacks/Breaches
Hackers Hit Symantec, ImageShack, But Not PayPal
Despite threats, Anonymous did not take down Facebook or Zynga on Monday. But other hackers detailed their own exploits, releasing employee credentials and source code.
Who Is Hacking U.S. Banks? 8 Facts
(click image for larger view and for slideshow)
November 5 came and went without Facebook or mobile game developer Zynga seeing their websites get taken down by promised online attacks executed by the Anonymous hacktivist collective.
In the run-up to the Guy Fawkes Night holiday -- celebrated annually in Britain and featured in the 2005 film "V for Vendetta," from which Anonymous borrows its trademark mask -- multiple Anonymous factions had promised to take down various websites, presumably via distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. They also threatened to release a broad swatch of Zynga's mobile games for free. None of that came to pass.
Monday was, however, a notable day for hacking attacks that didn't involve Anonymous. In particular, hacking group Hack The Planet Monday released a Pastebin post with data that the group claimed to have stolen from ImageShack, Symantec, and ZPanel. As part of the hacking "zine" the group released, it said there was also "a heap of personal information that is claimed to belong to some people that are close to the infosec and anonymous scene," which the group said it hadn't had time to fully review.
[ For more on Anonymous's threatened Guy Fawkes Day takedowns, see Anonymous Threatens Zynga, Facebook Takedowns. ]
The leaked Symantec data appears to have involved a breached database containing email addresses and apparent password hashes for 3,195 employees.
A Symantec spokesman, reached via email, said the company is investigating the alleged breach. "Symantec is aware of the claims being made online," he said. "We take each and every claim very seriously and have a process in place for investigating each incident. Our first priority is to make sure that any customer information remains protected. We are investigating these claims and have no further information to provide at this time."
Meanwhile, Hack The Planet claimed that its ImageShack hack was much more extensive than the Symantec breach: "ImageShack has been completely owned, from the ground up. We have had root and physical control of every server and router they own. For years." The group also listed, tongue in cheek, nine factors it found that illustrated "the hardened security on all of ImageShack's equipment." Among them: running "all MySQL instances as root," having outdated kernels from 2008 or earlier, hard-coding passwords into numerous files, and having "a firewall that allows outgoing backconnects." The hacking group also released a large amount of data supposedly stolen from ImageShack, including lists of file permissions and source code.
ImageShack didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment about whether the leaked data was genuine, or whether attackers had also deleted the site's blog, which now resolves to a page with a "not found" error.
According to Hack The Planet, its Pastebin post also includes zero-day exploit code for ZPanel, which is a free, open source Web hosting control panel for Windows, Unix, and Linux. "We have a Zero Bug attacking all the login and overlay files," Hack The Planet said, noting that the exploit code can be used to reset root passwords in the system remotely and without authentication. Interestingly, the code's author is listed as "joepie91," which is the handle of a hacker previously associated with LulzSec.
Tuesday, however, ZPanel's head developer and project leader, Bobby Allen, said in a ZPanel forum post that the exploited flaw was patched almost three months ago. "We was (sic) made aware of this bug several months back by our professional security firm 'WebSec' and we have already released a fix of which is implemented in version 10.0.1 of ZPanel," he said. "We can therefore only assume that 'Anonymous' was 'hacking' version 10.0.0 of ZPanel of which we have already released a fix for." (Again, Hack The Planet, not Anonymous, has claimed credit for the attack.) That fix was issued on August 14, 2012.
What about PayPal? Cyber War News had originally reported that the list of sites exploited by Hack The Planet included PayPal, but it later corrected that report to note that PayPal hadn't been targeted. Similarly, a PayPal spokeswoman said via email, "It appears that the exploit was not directed at PayPal after all, it was directed at a company called ZPanel." PayPal said it's found no evidence that it was hacked, or that any of its employees' data was obtained or released, as was originally reported.
That's contrary to this Monday statement issued via the Anonymous Press Twitter channel: "Paypal hacked by Anonymous as part of our November 5th protest." That post linked to a PrivatePaste file, which has since been removed, but according to news reports, Anonymous claimed to have breached 18,000 PayPal usernames and passwords. By Tuesday, however, the consensus was that the breached data belonged to another organization -- perhaps ImageShack. Was the Cyber War News report responsible for Anonymous channels getting their own news wrong?
Still, all wasn't quiet Monday on the bona fide Anonymous data breach front. Notably, the Anonymous Intelligence Agency (aka Par:AnoIA) released what it said was a preview of a "dump of internal files from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe," which it said highlighted attempted election manipulation in last week's Ukrainian elections.
But the failure of so many threatened Anonymous attacks to materialize led Cult of the Dead Cow official "Oxblood Ruffin" to dub Guy Fawkes Day as "the Anonymous version of April Fools."
Attackers are increasingly using a simple method for finding flaws in websites and applications: They Google them. Using Google code search, hackers can identify crucial vulnerabilities in application code strings, providing the entry point they need to break through application security. In our report, Using Google To Find Vulnerabilities In Your IT Environment, we outline methods for using search engines such as Google and Bing to identify vulnerabilities in your applications, systems and services--and to fix them before they can be exploited.

Drew Barrymore on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' Zoom and COVID-19
Drew Barrymore has been exploring her own talk show for years. But never in a million years did the star of "The Wedding Singer," "50 First Dates" and "Never Been Kissed" imagine that when the day finally arrived, "The Drew Barrymore Show" would air during a pandemic.
"I have worked really hard on a lot of things in my life that didn't manifest, and I know those all ended up being building blocks for something else, so I tried to keep that discipline that I don't think anything is a waste of time," says Barrymore, who serves as host and executive producer of the show. "The harder you work and the more you apply yourself, somewhere, it will pay off."
Back in 2016, Barrymore was in early conversations with Warner Bros. TV about the possibility of a talk show. Three years later, in mid-2019, Barrymore shot a pilot for a daytime talker with CBS TV Distribution, the venue that would end up becoming the home for "The Drew Barrymore Show," which premiered in September.
The year in between shooting the pilot and launching the show was anything but normal. As if the long haul to selling a nationally syndicated show market-by-market wasn't enough of a grueling journey, Barrymore had to construct her show as most daytime hosts had started broadcasting remotely from their own homes.
By the time Barrymore was ready to make her big debut, "The Drew Barrymore Show," which hails from her production company, Flower Films, had been through so many iterations and creative changes, the newfound talk show host wasn't sure if she would ever make it to air.
Two months after launching, Barrymore's show has become defined by her signature carefree charm, goofy authenticity and a never-know-what-you're-going-to-get kind of vibe — even spawning its own "Saturday Night Live" parody — and emerging as a departure from the heavy news cycle of a presidential election and pandemic.
Here, Drew Barrymore talks about how her talk show changed during the pandemic, and what kept her going when she wasn't sure what the future would hold.
The show has been in development for a while, and then a pandemic hit. Was there ever a time that you said to yourself, "This is not going to happen?"
I was absolutely not certain. Even today, I'm certain of nothing.
Do you think that the tone of the show — the carefree wackiness — actually works better now because people are looking for an escape?
I am lucky that my insane desire was to be the antidote, because I think I would have tried to do something different at different intervals of my life. And it seems like this year, there was a part of me that was very nervous it could be the biggest failure.
From a production standpoint, there is a lot that you can't do these days, due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Was there anything that was a "must" for you?
I fought really hard to be live. I thought it's an appropriate to be doing this where I can speak to the moment. I just didn't want to risk being a day or two old because that type of energy when the show came out could be totally unattached. I'm so glad my bosses trusted me with a live show because I think when you go live, there is a lot of desire to be political and newsy.
How do you balance staying up-to-date, but not delving into the hard news of the world, while keep the light tone of your show intact?
I'm just so relieved that they trusted me that I wouldn't do nothing but talk about everything crazy that's happening. But I didn't want to ignore everything that was happening. I'm trying to walk a very honest line of how I'm taking all of this in and processing this, too. I hate soap boxes — god, I hate them so much! — and growing up in Hollywood, there are a lot of soap boxes. I thought if this show makes me want to run away, it probably feels like that to a lot of other people, too, so I just kept thinking about trying to be honest and current and true to myself.
Is the daily grind of a show challenging?
We're not the same people throughout one day, let alone every day. Where is all that color of the mood board of our life? We have different relationships, we go through different experiences and passions and hobbies. Things happen in the world. I love pop culture. I love the inundation of social media because it's the urgency of that currency, and I feel like we're living in a very spinning world — and I want to keep spinning, but I kind of want to un-dizzy myself; but then, I want to spin and get dizzy; and then un-spin.
I like being in a state of optimism, but I just don't love that, "I'm just happy all the time!" Like, happiness is hard. It's a big battle that we fight. It's a really incredible reward, but it is not easy. We don't always wake up with it. That bullshit happiness just drives me crazy. I love the happiness that is earned by trying to figure out what being a good person is and being good to each other and earning that happiness is because so many times, I'm not happy in life, and usually, I can only blame myself, and if it's something that's external, I think, "How can I overcome that and fix that to be a happier person?" I always find my way back to life is good and it's worth it and we are worth it and it's all worth it. But it's a long way around to that revelation and that's not always available in the snap of a finger. That journey fascinates me, so I really want to talk about self improvement and all of that stuff, too. How do we get there? That road is interesting to me. It's not just happy happy joy joy.
Did you always know you'd be filming from a set, or was there ever a conversation about doing the show remotely from home?
I basically kicked and screamed and said, "I will do this show on a street corner with a camera and me and one person. I'm not doing a home show. I don't want to do it. I don't like watching them." I love what Jimmy Fallon did with his, and I thought a lot of people really rose to the occasion and did some extraordinary things. But the reason a lot of the home shows were so exciting to watch is because they were well-established. I was scared that if I started a home show, I would stay stuck there. It terrified me.
Why did it terrify you?
I was too afraid to mix that up with my kids. I keep my kids off of social media. I don't show them. I'm very protective of them. I was honestly very anxious. I would never want to do a television show about me and my home and my children. I was really scared because there was a lot of talk of, "That's the way it's going to end up being, and you don't really have a choice in the matter," and that actually just made me a lot more convinced to go the exact opposite direction. I really thought, "What is the modern television show right now, and if you could never changed, you would still be happy with it?" That is the show that I was lucky enough to be allowed to launch and have my vision enabled by my bosses.
The premiere episode featured a "Charlie's Angels" reunion with you, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz, except she was actually beaming into your NYC studio from L.A. The technology is so crazy. Are you surprised at how realistic these remote interviews look on TV?
It's so flawless, it's so insane. I still don't understand how they're doing it. It's freakish. People don't think that person is not sitting in here. We are now incorporating shots of the green screen because nobody was even getting that this was even happening.
You don't want the show to feel like it's a Zoom show. Are you satisfied with the technology beaming in guests from L.A?
As many people that can come do my show in person would be ideal, but I love the L.A. studio virtual situation so much that I could easily keep going that way. What if we never go backwards from this moment? I'm really just trying to look forward and incorporate the futuristic possibilities. It will never replace a human in the room, but when those things are not possible, what is the next best thing? Moving forward, the more people that can come and play in front of the camera, for me, is the better. We are lucky. We do have a lot of people coming in right now, which is really exciting. I'm always really excited when somebody comes.
As an executive producer, you were very hands-on about the look of the show. You didn't want it to feel virtual, so how did you help design the set to achieve that?
I'm still navigating the Zoom, but I'm like, "It can't look like a Zoom! No boxes! Let's have things borderless!" I'm very particular about the arrangement of how all the screens are because I don't want to hang out with my friends on Zoom. I love working on Zoom, but that's it, and I don't want the show to feel like something you work it. It should feel like a departure from your work life. But it should also talk about your work life, ironically.
What's a normal day like on set? How often are you getting tested and how often is your team getting tested for COVID-19?
Everyone goes through a clinical nurse virtually before coming on set and then everyone is tested multiple times per week. There is actually a lab here in the CBS Broadcast Center that they've set up. It's been really efficient and really diligent. Everyone wears masks and social distances. It's extremely respectful. But, I will say we're also having the best time. It is so fun. We're all really happy, and all that I care about is that everyone feels good because everyone deserves to feel good. It matters so much to me, the vibe and the energy on set, and it's been so positive, but real. We like to work hard together, we like to talk about our families, there is no bullshit. It's very real, which is exactly what I want the show to be — joyful, but real.

Lockdown remains for higher education
The higher education sector cannot look forward to any relaxation of anti-Covid measures for the time being. At a weekend meeting, government ministers have decided that universities and universities of applied sciences will remain in lockdown.

The national curfew will also remain in place, and bars and restaurants will not yet be allowed to open their pavement terraces. The reason is simple: the number of Covid infections has once again risen to a 'very serious' level and more patients are being admitted to hospital.
The universities are not at all happy about the decision. They believe students can safely return to campus for classes one day a week, a position restated in a radio interview this morning by Pieter Duisenberg, President of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands.
"I do understand the measure. At least it's consistent", Duisenberg said of the government's decision. But he went on to emphasise the difficulties students are facing. "For their well-being, this is not good news at all."
Students at vocational colleges are being allowed to return to the classroom one day a week. Duisenberg sees no reason why this shouldn't apply to higher education too. Especially considering that there were no significant Covid outbreaks at universities during earlier stages of the pandemic. "From an educational perspective, my message to the government is please take that risk. After all, we have already proven we can manage these situations in a highly controlled way."
Duisenberg revealed that a full range of plans is already in place to enable universities to open in the coming academic year. But he hopes that they will be given more leeway before the current academic year is over. "That would be better than leaving everything until after the summer."
Unwilling
The decisions were announced informally after weekend consultations at the Catshuis, the Prime Minister's official residence. They have yet to be discussed in a full cabinet meeting. Tomorrow evening, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Health Minister Hugo de Jonge will announce the government's position at a joint press conference. The government is unwilling to relax its current restrictions until most people over the age of 60 have been vaccinated. That is not expected until early May.
At their previous press conference, the ministers had hinted that there might be some easing of restrictions over the Easter weekend, but that no longer seems to be on the cards. Not even for higher education.
D66 in particular would like to see a relaxation of restrictions in higher education. Returning to campus one day a week would be an important step, the party's Education Minister Ingrid Van Engelshoven told news agency ANP. But she stopped short of delivering certainty on the issue.

Hard lockdown: pack up and clear out
After Monday's announcement that the corona measures will be tightened, study association Simon Stevin quickly emptied its board cubby hole and secured all perishable products from their bar the Weeghconst. The office supplies, snacks and beers will be kept in a mobile storage room: the association's bus Walter.

Lockdown not bad for students
The intelligent lockdown seems not to have had a significant effect on students' wellbeing, nor did it increase mental health problems. "Quite remarkable results", says researcher Llewellyn van Zyl, who was involved in the collaborative study of TU/e, University of Twente, and Utrecht University.

Following the directions from India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Apple has removed Chinese video sharing application TikTok from its App Store.
On April 3, The Madras high court had asked the Centre to ban TikTok across the country, saying it encouraged obscenity and made child users vulnerable to sexual predators.
This means that no new user will be able to access TikTok app now, as it won't be available for download. At TikTok, we have faith in the Indian Judicial system and the stipulations afforded to social media platforms by the Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules, 2011.
At time of writing, Apple has not pulled TikTok from its App Store in India.
After they win, they can get points to upgrade their existing cars with better parts or to get new and faster vehicles. Forza Street is now only available on the Microsoft Store , but it is coming to iOS and Android sometime soon.
Kadri travelled to NY for an in-person hearing, meaning the league had the option to suspend the player for more than five games. The Boston Bruins now trail the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in their first round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.
This development comes right after the Madras High Court's hearing on April 16 where it has refused to suspend the ban on TikTok.
In addition to ordering Google and Apple to make the app unavailable for downloading, the court also ordered media houses to stop telecasting videos made using the TikTok app.
The state court has requested written submissions from Bytedance in the case and has scheduled its next hearing on the TikTok ban case for April 24. Its user base in India accounts for 39% of the 500 Mn global install base. On its part, TikTok has said that it's not liable to be punished for what "third parties" do.
The app, which lets users create short, fun videos, has come under fire for allegedly allowing "pornographic" and "sleazy" content to propagate, especially among its younger audience. "Strict action needs to be taken against people publishing such content instead of asking for a blanket ban on apps".

Meeting of the Board of Regents | April 2008
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - 9:20am
THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234
Johanna Duncan-Poitier
Report on the Roosevelt School District
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Goals 1 and 2
AUTHORIZATION(S):
Issue for Information
Monthly report on work underway and progress made in the Roosevelt Union Free School District to support student success.
Reason(s) for Consideration
Requested by members of the Board of Regents.
Proposed Handling
For information.
Procedural History
Each month, the State Education Department provides a report to the Board of Regents on continued work underway in Roosevelt to strengthen student achievement, achieve fiscal stability, and to provide for a productive learning environment where all students can succeed.
The Commissioner of Education exercises fiscal and educational program oversight in the Roosevelt Union Free School District, consistent with Chapter 33 of the Laws of 2002. Each month, the State Education Department provides a report to the Board of Regents on activities and accomplishments in the Roosevelt School District. This month's report is attached.
Building upon the work completed in the first half of the 2007-08 school year, members of the Board of Regents and State Education Department staff continue to work with Superintendent Robert-Wayne Harris, school district staff, and other partners to support student success and to help the district achieve fiscal stability.
It is recommended that the Regents review the attached update on the operations and oversight of the Roosevelt Union Free School District. Staff is available to provide additional information as requested.
Timetable for Implementation
update on work underway and progress made
in the ROOSEVELT SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Board of Regents and the State Education Department have significantly increased support and oversight at the Roosevelt Union Free School District. Building upon the progress made in the district in the first half of the 2007-08 school year, the Board of Regents and the State Education Department continue to work with the new Roosevelt Superintendent and staff to support student success and to help the district achieve fiscal stability. Highlights of progress made in the district this month include:
Leadership in the Roosevelt School District
Superintendent Harris convenes weekly internal Cabinet meetings. In addition, monthly meetings are held with building principals. Superintendent Harris is also making every effort to ensure that parents and community members are apprised of news and developments in the district.
Roosevelt administrators and teachers are working on a number of important priorities in the district. For example, work continues to strengthen the scheduling process, particularly at the middle school and the high school. A Master Schedule is under development that will give all teachers full class loads and provide students with an opportunity to have complete and full schedules. In addition, Roosevelt leadership continue to discuss potential next steps on a number of important issues impacting the district including the 2008-09 budget, district organization, staffing, and preparations for the 2008-09 school year. These topics of discussion will also come before the Roosevelt Board of Education.
A series of 2008-09 Budget planning meetings are now underway in the district. Roosevelt leadership is working to finalize instructional staffing needs and is sharing this information with the Roosevelt Board of Education. The 2008-09 budget vote is planned for May 20, 2008. The public presentation of the proposed budget is scheduled for May 8th.
Regent Roger Tilles, Gayle Stevens-Haynes, Chair of Roosevelt's Board of Education and Senior Deputy Commissioner Johanna Duncan-Poitier met on March 20th to discuss academic, fiscal, and operational priorities in the district; planning that is now underway for the 2008-09 school year; and ways in which the Board of Regents, the Education Department, and USNY partners can continue to provide valuable assistance and support to the Roosevelt school community.
Superintendent Harris participated in the March 5th meeting of the Nassau County Council of School Superintendents (NCCOSS) at Nassau BOCES. Agenda items included opportunities for resource sharing among districts, the Algebra Regents Exam, the Long Island Educational Coalition, and Superintendent Professional Development.
Regional BOCES/Long Island Regional School Support Center Continues to Provide Important Assistance to the District
This month, the regional BOCES, Long Island Regional School Support Center, and Dr. Brosnan continue to work closely with Superintendent Harris and Roosevelt leadership to provide direct assistance to district administration. The Long Island Regional School Support Center (LIRSSC) staff has provided technical assistance to the middle school principal to assist with the transition from a 7-8 middle school to a 6-8 middle school (in a new building) next September. LIRSSC staff also worked with the Interim Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Funded Programs to assure alignment and agreement between the middle and elementary schools, and assisted the district staff in their review of effective Academic Intervention Service programs.
Support for High School Guidance Department with SED Grant Funds to Eastern Suffolk BOCES and the Long Island Regional School Support Center
Through a grant from NYSED to Eastern Suffolk BOCES, an experienced guidance chairperson, Dr. Kathleen Corbett, has started coordinating the High School Guidance Center staff. Dr. Corbett's work is being coordinated by Superintendent Harris and by Dr. Brosnan. A summary of Dr. Corbett's work since she started February 11 is as follows:
Created a school counseling activity calendar to guide the work of the counseling staff
Reviewed the student files and determined that they need improvement. Provided professional development for counselors regarding information that must be maintained in the student files:
Parent conferences
ESL and/or Special Education information
Developed procedures to ensure close communication between the guidance office and the registrar/census office so that new entrants receive appropriate support as they enter the school system
Arranged for counselors to have access to student Individual Educational Plans (IEP's), as required by law and regulation
Organized a course selection process
Assisted with the creation of a student course selection guide to provide students and parents with information about course options at the high school
All students in grades nine through eleven have now met with their high school counselors to discuss their current program and grades, and to plan what courses they will take for year
Organized a college admissions process
The counselors have been meeting with seniors to assist them with the college application process
Students came to the counseling center to hear presentations, and to speak with, college admission counselors from Nassau Community College and the New York Institute of Technology
Wrote a College Planning Guide, which will be presented by the counselors to eleventh graders as they plan for next year
Dr. Corbett will continue working with the district at least through the end of the school year, and possibly through the summer.
Facilities and Construction
The middle school remediation is complete. A final engineering report is being prepared for the Department of Environmental Conservation. The project is expected to be completed in May and scheduled to be open in September 2008, pending the final remediation report.
The construction project at Ulysses Byas is proceeding well. There is one union issue that is under negotiation and is expected to be resolved. The building is expected to be open for school in September 2008.
Carl Thurnau, SED staff member, made a Board of Education presentation to discuss how to utilize the district's EXCEL allocation. The district is considering how and when to seek voter authorization for the use of the EXCEL allocation.
Follow-up on Recommendations of the Office of the State Comptroller
Leadership in the Roosevelt School District and the Board of Education are developing a Corrective Action Plan to implement recommendation made by the Office of the State Comptroller. The Board of Education is scheduled to act on the plan at their April Meeting. The plan will subsequently be submitted to the State Education Department. In addition to the Corrective Action Plan, consistent with OSC recommendations, the Board of Education and Roosevelt leadership are discussing next steps on several other agenda items including policies and procedures, budget status reports, school lunch fund appropriation, payroll, and human resource issues.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Education is meeting routinely and sharing their work with the Full Board.
Student Development Activities
A Chinese Fair was held at the Washington Rose School on Saturday March 8th. Ms. Lissette Laboy,the District Coordinator of ESL, and the Chinese Fair, reports that the program was a real success. Between 175 and 200 participants attended including; Ms. Pat Lo - from the New York University Metro Center, Marissa Fang - President of the Chinese Teachers Association of the Greater new York, Belle Lam - Chinese Association of NY, Ms. Charthern - Centennial Avenue Elementary School, teachers and school personnel, and Mr. Scott and Ms. Boxley from the community. Telemundo (Channel 16) televised the Chinese Fair and it was highlighted on the 6:00 news. At the Fair, Roosevelt 1st to 3rd grade students sang in Chinese to the audience, and students saw demonstrations and participated in Tai Chi, Chinese sword officer training, Chinese dances, dough figurines, Opera mask painting, Chinese Paper Cutting and Origami, and a Power Point Presentation on last year's trip to China.
On March 6th, an O Ambassador's program was held at Roosevelt High School. The O Ambassador's program was founded by Oprah Winfrey for young people who want to get involved in promoting education and eliminating poverty and violence throughout the world. The program featured a student from the Congo in Africa who spoke about how he was kidnapped from his family, to become a soldier at the age of 5. He later escaped and became a spokesperson against crimes, wars, and violent activities. The students who attended thoroughly enjoyed the program and many are involved in the O Ambassador's program in Roosevelt. Also in attendance was Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby. Similarly, an O Ambassador's Program was held at Ulysses Byas Elementary School on March 18th with Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy attending.
On March 25th, a Woman's History Month Celebration Program was held at the Ulysses Byas Elementary School. Roosevelt's first grade students did an outstanding job reading and reciting poems and narratives regarding famous women throughout history. Ms. Moore and Mrs. Watson were honored at the event.
Fiscal Update
Work continues on the district's 2008/09 budget. One of the larger considerations in the budget discussions is just how many secondary positions will be needed given that the new separate middle school facility will be open in the next school year.
On March 5th the district received cash in the amount of $ 14 million pursuant to the legislative appropriation; $ 8 million to address the deficit and $ 6 million for the additional special academic improvement grant.
To be in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement #45, the district has issued a request for proposal (RFP) for actuarial services. The new GASB statement requires that all governmental entities perform a valuation to determine and report the value of employees post employment benefits. The district expects that the board will pass a resolution this month to appoint an experienced actuarial firm that will set the valuation of these future employee benefits costs.
The district is working with its bond counsel and financial advisor to address the Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) that will mature on August 17, 2008. Given the current state of interest rates, it is likely that the district will not renew the BAN, but will instead issue a bond through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY). The plan is to close on the new debt by July 15th.
To strengthen business office operations, the planned staffing changes are being implemented.
The Board of Regents and the State Education Department will continue to work closely with the Superintendent, the Roosevelt Board of Education, district administrators and teachers, members of the community, and other partners to address both short and long term priorities for the district. In addition, Dr. Brosnan continues to provide support to the district through the Long Island Regional School Support Center. Highlights of future next steps include:
Continue to ensure that key leadership positions are filled.
Continue to provide Department and local network support as needed.
Complete major construction projects at the middle and high school.
Complete 2008-09 budget and present to the community in May 2008.
Continue to implement fiscal systems to maintain financial stability.


By now, most savvy business owners understand the importance of backing up their data files.
Whether it's a natural disaster like a hurricane or tornado, a man-made calamity like a fire or flood, a virus, or user error, recovering your important files quickly is vital to staying in business.
Preferably, you should have a backup solutions onsite as well as in the cloud. Repeat after me: redundancy means quicker recovery.
You like to sleep soundly at night.
You don't want to develop an ulcer worrying about your data.
You don't want your hair to turn gray prematurely.
How's that for some scare tactics!

Q: REGEX: LineStrings (Geolocation) as named capture groups and also match line prefix I have an input of lines of text, of which some contain relevant GeoData of Objects. I want to identify the relevant lines by matching a given prefix (that identifies the following coordinates as belonging to the desired Geo-Object).
It may look similar to the following:
/line with irrelevant prefix
/line with irrelevant prefix, potentially also containing coordinates
[relevant prefix][bunch of characters][1 to X coordinates in the form "lat: X.XXXXXX, lon:X.XXXXXX"][bunch of other characters][other potentially relevant information]
/line with irrelevant prefix
/line with irrelevant prefix
The actual data I want to extract is in the form of a String of coordinates (LineString), in order to generate an object representing the LineString for further use in my C# code. Additional attributes (such as a name or an ID for example) might be relevant, too.
However, I also want to disqualify lines that may contain coordinates, but do not include my relevant prefix.
From what I understand, I can use named capturing groups in Regexes to get substrings as "variables" from the relevant lines, like this
(please do not mind the imprecise format for the coordinate):
(lat=(?<lat>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)), (lon=(?<lon>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+))

However, as far as I can see, I cannot have my expressions match an arbitrary number of coordinates in the line (since I do not know the length of the LineString object) and at the same time have the expression match the prefix pattern.
Is there a solution to have the expression match the prefix, have named capturing groups for the arbitrarily many pairs of coordinates, and also have additional named capturing groups for potentially relevant additional variables?
Suppose I have the following line:
PREFIXafkzh(lat=34.42344, lon=23.6346jsdfkh,lat=2.4234, lon=12.124)

I have tried the following regex:
(lat=(?<lat>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)), (lon=(?<lon>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+))

This matches all coordinates, but not the prefix
(PREFIX).\*(lat=(?<lat>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)), (lon=(?<lon>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+))
(PREFIX).\*((lat=(?<lat>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)), (lon=(?<lon>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)))+

Both of these will only match the last coordinate in the line.

A: It's not very easy to know what kind of prefixes you have and if
there's one for the line and another prefix just for a group of
coordinates. You may have to add a few more examples of input data.
I understood that you have a prefix for the line followed by
a ( then some coordinates that could also be prefixed by a
word and a comma.
Assuming that, I came out with this .NET regex:
@"(?<line_prefix>\w+)\(          # Line word prefix followed by (.
(?:                              # Non-capturing group to match multiple coords.
  (?<coord_prefix>[\w,]*)        # Optional coord prefix (may have to adapt).
  (?:lat=(?<lat>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)) # Latitude value.
  ,\s*                           # Comma and optional spaces.
  (?:lon=(?<lon>\d{0,2}[.,]\d+)) # Longitude value.
)+"gx

You can test it here: https://regex101.com/r/vxjeww/3
You may have to adapt the line prefix and coordinate prefix pattern
as we don't know clearly what it can contain.
As you see, you should then get multiple variables as the
non-capturing group can be matched 1 or several times.
