AAAAAAAA How did Alcoholics Anonymous begin? What influences shaped it into the worldwide, support-focused organization it is today? And what goes on inside a typical AA meeting? This program follows a quest for answers undertaken by two filmmakers—Orly Yadin, an Israeli-born animator and archival film specialist who questions the idea of genetic alcoholism, and Eleanor Lanahan, a documentarian whose family tree suggests a different perspective (she's the granddaughter of F. Scott Fitzgerald). Their search leads them to the Vermont roots of AA's founders, the structural parallels between AA meetings and civic gatherings, temperance movements predating AA, and more. At the heart of the film, however, are segments that take viewers inside a real AA meeting. With animated faces disguising the live-action participants, these scenes offer a poignant window into the confrontation of addiction. Note: Only available in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan and South Africa.

ADVERTISING AND

MARKETING

BRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESS By Anne Georget A woman in the grip of pre-menstrual dysphoric disease slams grocery carts outside a supermarket in frustration. A concerned young Japanese woman asks her husband if he has ever been happy. Peppy actors in lab coats reassure the audience that depression is like "a cold of the soul." These are scenes from some of the many pharmaceutical ads that pepper Branding Illness, an eye-opening documentary about how big drug companies create diseases and then supply the medications that can cure them. It's a reversal of the traditional approach - trying to discover a drug that cures an illness - and one that relies far more heavily on marketing than on research. The film offers case after startling case of how big pharma creates the conversation around new diseases and then offers up the solutions. Take pre-menstrual dysphoric disease. It appeared right about the time the patent on Prozac was about to expire, representing a significant loss of income. Enter PMDD. Prozac manufacturer Eli Lilly rebranded the drug, changed its colour, jacked up the price, and had a potentially profitable new medication to sell as a treatment for a disease few had ever heard of before. Featuring at times acerbic commentary from experts including physicians, historians and medical anthropologists (among them maverick academic David Healy), Branding Illness offers unprecedented insight into the ways illnesses and their potential cures are marketed. No claim seems too outrageous

- whether it's convincing the Japanese they have widespread depression, urging millions of healthy adults they need medication to lower their cholesterol, or even proposing that all adults over 50 take a "poly-pill" to lower their risk of common diseases. In one particularly striking segment, a member of the Dutch Institute for Rational Use of Medicine recounts how her group pretended to represent a pharmaceutical company and created a fake awareness campaign for a drug to treat excessive flatulence. Their brochures were welcomed in doctors' offices, their posters hung in medical centres, and television news reported on the "problem" and the treatment available. The Internet is supposed to make medical information more accessible, but as the film points out, it's very hard to know who is behind the information users find. A seemingly innocuous awareness campaign could be part of an expensive PR effort. Antoine Vial of the French Health Regulatory Agency puts a campaign for ankylosing spondylitis under the microscope, and finds that what it doesn't say may be more revealing than what it does. And if it's hard for consumers to get access to objective opinions, it's no easier for independent-minded academics. Medical anthropologist Kalman Applbaum says 80% of clinical trials and 97% of the most influential clinical trials are commercially funded. Even science has become a tool to advance the sales of drugs. Item no. : PK03100743 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 52 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 390.00

AND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMS Directed by Susan Vogel A swift instructive look at the artist demonstrating his process, and discussing his theories. Eight short, pointed sequences are designed for use in classrooms and museums either as stand-alone shorts, or as a 28-minute film. "Anatsui at Work" was shot on three continents over two years with "Fold Crumple Crush" with little duplication aside from condensed sequences of the studio work. The eight shorts explore specific media and follow Anatsui creating art in Nsukka and installing one of his most ambitious works on the facade of the Palazzo Fortuny Museum in Venice. The sections are: Materials – From the Environment. In Nsukka, Nigeria, we hear Anatsui talk

about his relationship to materials and his use of "things that have been used before." The camera follows the artist to a teeming Nigerian recycling market, then to the modest distillery where he buys liquor bottle-tops, and to the rural yard where he found old mortars. Two of his Nsukka University colleagues enlarge upon Anatsui's philosophy. (4:54) Pottery – Tradition and Modernity. Handling three of his seminal "Broken Pots," and showing them to the camera, the artist describes his technique and talks about pottery as a metaphor for life. (2:43) lWood – The Non-fixed Form. Anatsui walks through a Nigerian lumber market and talks about his work with chainsaw and wood. His wood wall reliefs are deliberately composed of separate boards that are not joined together. Back in the studio, while deftly rearranging the boards of a wall piece, he says his hope is to bring out creativity in others. Gazing at the wall piece he has radically transformed, Anatsui admits that most people don't have the courage to do this. (3:55) Outdoor Sculpture – University of Nigeria Nsukka. On the campus Anatsui walks around two monuments he created around 1980 which expressed his thoughts about the benefits—and risks—of science. (1:48) Tin Can Lids – Shaping and Reshaping. Taking a single sheet of lids from his "Peak Project" sculpture, Anatsui twists and props it up this way and that till it takes a "Fairly OK" form. He explains that there is no permanent form. (3:26) The Studio Process – Many Hands. Inside the Nsukka studio, assistants explain how they are organized, and how they make the labor intensive "blocks" with which Anatsui constructs his hangings. They demonstrate and name many of the different treatments that Anatsui has invented to create rich and varied textures. (4:42) Composing – Shifting and Arranging. Working on the studio floor we watch the culmination of the creative process. Anatsui orchestrates a dozen assistants and scores of "blocks" out compose what will become a huge hanging. (3:52) The Nomadic Aesthetic – Freedom to Move [Palazzo Fortuny]. In Venice we watch Anatsui shifting and changing the vast bottle-top sculpture he has draped over the entire facade of the Palazzo Fortuny Museum. He explains how his thinking takes shape in his art and ruminates about the connection between his philosophy of art and his life. Shot in Venice and Skowhegan, Maine.

DELICIOUS PEACE GROWDELICIOUS PEACE GROWDELICIOUS PEACE GROWDELICIOUS PEACE GROWS S S S

IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE

BEANBEANBEANBEAN By Curt Fissel and Ellen Friedland Narrated by Ed O'Neill In a nation once plagued by Idi Amin's reign of terror and intolerance, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Ugandan coffee farmers have come together to challenge historical prejudice and economic hurdles by forming the "Delicious Peace Coffee Cooperative." The cooperative has become a model for others, demonstrating how the interweaving of harmonious relationships with Fair Trade practices can substantially improve the lives of people who are economically challenged. In Delicious Peace, the Ugandan farmers opened their lives to the filmmakers for an intimate look at the struggles they face, the hopes they harbor, and the successes they have found. Many lives in the world revolve around the coffee bean, the second-most traded commodity in the world. But coffee farmers face many challenges, from low prices on worldwide markets, to exploitative intermediaries and government policies that make exports difficult. In 2003, a Jewish coffee farmer in a region of Uganda that has long produced some of the highest quality coffee in the world approached his Christian and Muslim neighbors and asked that they put aside their religious differences, as well as their pessimism about growing coffee, to create a new cooperative. Calling their brand "Mirembe Kawomera" ("Delicious Peace"), they partnered with an American Fair Trade buyer to bring this organic and kosher coffee to the U.S. market. Today, as a result of good wages through Fair Trade, the farmers' standard of living is improving, harmony is flourishing, and their message of peace and fair wages is spreading to their neighbors, as well as their coffee customers in the US. Reviews � "Delicious Peace is a colorful and

upbeat film that affords me an easy entry into discussion of some of the most difficult issues in social science: race, religion, inequality, and development. And it leaves students with a sense of agency and possibility–that regular people can make the world better, even in difficult circumstances. It's a gift to offer students a story of hope told with eyes wide open." - David S. Meyer, Prof. of Sociology and Political Science, University of California, Irvine

� "Delicious Peace is, well... delicious!

This documentary was a huge hit at Drew University where faculty, staff and students are engaged in development projects around the world. Delicious Peace is both informative and inspiring; the

RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF

APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE OF OF OF OF

HOPEHOPEHOPEHOPE Directed by Larry Shore & Tami Gold Featuring never before seen archival footage, and interviews in South Africa and the United States, filmmakers Larry Shore and Tami Gold tell the little-known story of Senator Robert Kennedy's influential June 1966 visit to South Africa during the worst years of Apartheid. The film is a unique portrait of Senator Kennedy in action at an important moment in American and South African history. The filmmakers explore the visit through the sights and sounds of present day South Africa. Robert Kennedy's visit gave opponents of Apartheid -- both black and white -- hope and courage to challenge the Apartheid system at a time when they felt isolated and few in the outside world knew what was happening in South Africa. His visit also highlighted the parallels in the fight against racism in South Africa and in the United States, where Martin Luther King Jr., had linked the struggle for Civil Rights with the fight against Apartheid. RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID follows Kennedy in South Africa during the five-day visit, including his famous "Day of Affirmation" speech at the University of Cape Town on June 6, 1966. The speech is generally considered to be the greatest speech of Robert Kennedy's career. One paragraph, featuring the "ripple of hope", is among the most quoted in American politics and appears on Kennedy's gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery: "It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing

each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Another high point of the film is Kennedy's meeting with one of the unknown giants of South African and African history – the banned President of the African National Congress and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chief Albert Luthuli, who was living under house arrest in a remote rural area. The film travels with RFK to Soweto, the largest black township, where he meets thousands of people and gives voice to Chief Luthuli's call for a free South Africa The film includes interviews with those that accompanied or met with Kennedy on his trip, as well as with Edward Kennedy, and an original soundtrack by American musician Jason Moran. Robert Kennedy's actions and words in South Africa were important at the time for one other reason – he publicly challenged the dominant Cold War ideology that anti-Communism should be the only basis for determining American foreign policy, even if it meant supporting repressive regimes. Kennedy demonstrated how it was possible to promote human rights and democracy in an undemocratic society, while engaging in an honest discourse on America's own historical problems and successes. RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID tells an important story that is relevant to the ongoing struggles for democracy, justice and human rights around the world today.

DIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICA By Joel Calmettes On February 26th, 1885, at Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's official residence in Berlin, the "Berlin Conference on Africa" came to a successful conclusion. After three months of negotiations amongst the leading diplomats from all the major European powers (and the US), the "General Act of the Berlin Conference" had been agreed. And a large part of Africa's subsequent fate had been set in motion. For at a time when an estimated 80% of

Africa remained under traditional and local control, the purpose of the Berlin Conference had been for the Great Powers to establish rules amongst themselves for the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of Africa's resources. Including the division of territory, the drawing of maps, and the establishment of Congo -- as a personal possession of the Belgian King. Not surprisingly, no Africans had been invited to the Conference. Using actual transcripts taken down at the time, BERLIN 1885: THE DIVISION OF AFRICA combines reenactments of the Conference proceedings and previously unexplored archival materials, with the insights of historians and scholars from six nations, to discuss the politics, implications, and legacy of the first international conference about Africa. Reviews � "Cleverly using the exchanges put

down in the diplomatic archives, BERLIN 1885 never sacrifices the demand of the documentary to the virtue of fiction. The seriousness of the program comes nonetheless with a skilful direction that maintains our attention. This a model of the genre, educational but without heaviness." -Telerama

� "A film well carried through, with a

rhythm given by the chapters and the addition of some very instructive perspectives (...) The fiction-documentary by Joel Calmettes, a moment of outstanding television, would perfectly find its place in numerous history classes in high school and college." -Le Monde

� "Undoubtedly not to compromise its

great historical rigor, BERLIN 1885… refuses to exploit the tricks of fiction." - Liberation

LOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORD By Dries Engels & Bart Van Peel On June 30, 1960, slightly over 50 years ago, the largest African colony Congo became independent of Belgium. The day before, Wednesday, June 29th, around half past four in the afternoon, as the Belgian King Baudouin was being driven through Kinshasa, standing bolt upright next to the future president Kasavubu in a Cadillac convertible, he saluted the Belgian flag. At this very moment a young Congolese man steps from the crowd, steals the sabre of King Badouin from behind, and runs away. And photographer Robert Lebeck eternalizes the incident in a single shot.

In BOYAMBA BELGIQUE: OR WHY A KING SHOULD NOT LOOSE HIS SWORD, this picture becomes a keyhole through which to peer at the decolonization of Africa. For the filmmakers embark on a search for the thief, meeting eyewitnesses, searching for archives, visiting villages, and digging into the meaning and symbolism of the act. Until most good stories of hidden history, after false starts and misdirection about the person and meanings both, they do discover the real thief, and, why he did it.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKINGWHERE ARE YOU TAKINGWHERE ARE YOU TAKINGWHERE ARE YOU TAKING

ME?ME?ME?ME? By Kimi Takesue A high society wedding, a boxing club, a beauty salon, a school for survivors of the civil war: these are a few of the many places in Uganda discovered in Kimi Takesue's feature documentary, WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME. Employing an observational style, this contemplative documentary reveals multifaceted portraits of Ugandans in both public and private spaces. The film travels through Uganda, roaming the vibrant streets of Kampala and the rural quiet of the North, to reveal a diverse society where global popular culture finds expression alongside enduring Ugandan traditions. Throughout the journey, WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME asks us to consider the complex interplay between the observer and the observed, and challenges our notions of both the familiar and exotic. WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME offers unexpected images of a complex country, encouraging us to abandon pre-conceived notions of where we are going and what we will find. Reviews � "Stellar…Takesue's documentary took

the explosive subject of former Ugandan child soldiers in an unexpected direction; instead of choosing the usual routes of investigative journalism or bombastic commentary, the film keeps its distance from the traumatized youngsters and observes them with detached empathy as they readjust to 'normalcy'." - Richard Porton, Cineaste

GROW!GROW!GROW!GROW! By Anthony-Masterson With the average age of farmers in the U.S. currently at 57, it's critical to encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown. Filmed on 12 different farms throughout the state of Georgia during an entire growing season, GROW! provides an honest and inspiring look at this next generation of farmers. There is an emerging movement of young people, both women and men, who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Many are college-educated, and some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Not happy with their current lives and what they see as a broken food system, they aim to fix some of the current shortcomings by growing and distributing food locally and in a more sustainable manner. To start off, they often must borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams. Some begin as apprentices, working with experienced farmers to learn the basics before venturing out on their own. GROW! takes an engaging and personal look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 passionate, idealistic and fiercely independent young growers. In the film they speak of both the joys and the challenges involved in tending the land, from unpredictable weather and equipment breakdowns, to keeping their

OUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISON By Marie Monique Robin OUR DAILY POISON—a shocking documentary film that reveals a broken safety system concerned more with protecting trade secrets than human health. (In one key moment, a member of the UN agency responsible for setting acceptable daily limits of poisonous chemicals admits that the numbers are "theoretical" and have "nothing to do with the real world.") The film shows that the main cause of the epidemic is environmental: it is the result of the 100,000 chemical molecules that have invaded our environment, and primarily our food, since the end of the Second World War. The film is divided into three distinct, but interrelated sections, making it ideal for classroom use. In the first, Robin meets farmers suffering horrific health problems—such as leukemia, Parkinson's,

and brain lesions—linked to pesticide poisoning, and looks into the effects those same pesticides have on people eating fruits and vegetables. Robin then moves on to the broken regulatory regime, using the artificial sweetener Aspartame as a case study. It is a cautionary tale about the revolving door between government and industry, and the influence of money on research findings. Finally, OUR DAILY POISON reveals the inadequacies of testing individual compounds in a world where everyone carries around a cocktail of synthetic chemicals absorbed from food and the environment—many of them mimicking the body's own hormones. OUR DAILY POISON is a smart, well-researched and thoroughly compelling documentary that will reshape the way you think about everyday products and the systems that are supposed to ensure their safety. It explores ways in which people can protect themselves by strengthening their immune mechanisms, through food, as demonstrated by many scientific studies (whose findings are rejected by the pharmaceutical industry).

HOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROG By Jon Cooksey There's plenty of serious documentaries on the world's environmental problems. How to Boil a Frog takes a different approach, mixing fast-paced comedy with hard-hitting facts to help make complex subjects both understandable and more engaging. The accompanying study guide, done in the same style as the film, is an additional useful and unique resource. This highly entertaining film features everyman dad narrator, Jon Cooksey (a screenwriter in real life), who is a guy worried about his daughter's future. Cooksey effectively plays a dozen different characters in the film to illustrate his points, from a lab-coated scientist to a surfer. He recounts his own wake-up moment, on the subject of climate change, and his subsequent discovery that global warming is part of a bigger problem: "global overshoot" – humans putting too much demand on our limited natural world. After presenting the consequences of overshoot, Jon launches into a clever review of five major problems and how they're connected: overpopulation, the war on nature, income inequality, peak oil and finally global warming. From there, he offers a set of positive solutions that can

be accomplished by individuals and families to help turn things around. Along with the comedy, the movie interweaves high quality animation and world-class experts in relevant fields (presented both briefly and humorously) to help encourage both awareness and action. Reviews � "A feisty little film which is down-home

in style, and humorous." - Vancouver Sun

� "Ambitious and insightfully

practical…I give this one high marks. (Cooksey) has tapped in to an important way to communicate tough issues to an increasingly distracted audience: make 'em laugh. He presents it all with an edgier take on the whole Bill Nye the Science Guy vibe. Only, the PG-13 version. Hey, it works for Jon Stewart." - Transition Voice

CONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOUUUU Directed by Georgia Sugimura Archer A David & Goliath tale of one man's fight against restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on consumers' access to the internet. Robb Topolski is an unlikely crusader for free speech -- on the surface; he seems to be a mild-mannered geek with a fondness for a capella music. However, when Topolski tried to upload some rare recordings of barbershop quartets to a peer-to-peer file sharing website in 2007, he found that his broadband Internet connection slowed down to a tiny fraction of its usual speed.

Topolski, who worked as a computer network engineer, ran some tests to find out what was happening and made a surprising discovery -- his internet service provider was monitoring the web use of its customers and using software to slow connections for certain activities and certain websites. Topolski took his ISP to court and has become a passionate spokesman for net neutrality, believing that ISP's have no right to interfere with what their customers are doing and should not be watching their activities on line. This case is one of the key inspirations behind the documentary BARBERSHOP PUNK, which explores how a small number of powerful corporations have the power to control the World Wide Web, and what ordinary people can do to promote the free exchange of information in cyberspace. Featuring interviews with Ian MacKaye, Janeane Garofalo, Damian Kulash of OK Go, Henry Rollins, Mike McCurry, John Perry Barlow, Jonathan Adelstein and many more.

BETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDS Directed by Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman A personal essay revealing the passionate debates over identity and generational change inside today's American Jewish community. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS is a groundbreaking personal exploration of the community and family divisions that are redefining American Jewish identity and politics. The filmmakers' own families are battlegrounds over loyalty to Israel, interpretations of the Holocaust, intermarriage, and a secret communist past. Filmed in the United States and Israel, this first-person documentary begins with a near riot at a Jewish Film Festival in San Francisco, reveals the agonizing battle over divestment from Israel on a university campus, and shows the crackdown on dissent in Israel itself.

CAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MAN By Richard Chisolm, Sheila Kinkade, & David Grossbach The USDA estimates 32 million school kids consume up to 50% of their calories at school, contributing to the obesity epidemic among young people. What does it take to reform school lunch programs, especially in larger school districts, and provide healthful, tasty meals to our nation's kids? Cafeteria Man takes a candid look at Tony Geraci's sweeping, tenacious efforts to kick start school lunch reform in Baltimore's schools, a large urban district that serves 83,000 students. As the newly hired Food and Nutrition Director of the city's public school district, Geraci hatches an ambitious, multi-faceted plan to feed students healthy, locally-sourced meals, teach them nutritional awareness, and offer them training and vocational opportunities in the world of food. His bold vision includes a 33-acre teaching farm, school vegetable gardens, student-designed meals, and meatless Monday's. Cafeteria Man follows Geraci for two years as he partners with a dedicated group of parents and students to overhaul a long-established, dysfunctional lunch program and battle the entrenched bureaucracy behind it. The film profiles Baltimore's experience as it becomes recognized as part a burgeoning national movement, and includes appearances by food author Michael Pollan, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Assistant White House Chef Sam Kass. Featuring the voices and images of students, parents, administrators, teachers and farmers, the film vividly documents this hopeful story, as well as honestly portraying the challenges. It makes clear that successfully transforming school lunch programs is not easy, and ultimately requires sustained efforts by a broad coalition acting on behalf of students.

GROW!GROW!GROW!GROW! By Anthony-Masterson With the average age of farmers in the U.S. currently at 57, it's critical to encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown. Filmed on 12 different farms throughout the state of Georgia during an entire growing season, GROW! provides an honest and inspiring look at this next generation of farmers. There is an emerging movement of young people, both women and men, who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Many are college-educated, and some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Not happy with their current lives and what they see as a broken food system, they aim to fix some of the current shortcomings by growing and distributing food locally and in a more sustainable manner. To start off, they often must borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams. Some begin as apprentices, working with experienced farmers to learn the basics before venturing out on their own. GROW! takes an engaging and personal look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 passionate, idealistic and fiercely independent young growers. In the film they speak of both the joys and the challenges involved in tending the land, from unpredictable weather and equipment breakdowns, to keeping their crops healthy. They also clearly present what motivates them, and what it takes to be successful as a farmer. The film provides inspiration to all viewers to support this new crop of local and sustainable farmers through the food choices we make every day. Reviews � "These young people are happy.

Hard-working to be sure, but satisfied in their work, nourishing themselves and others, and the earth itself, with their unusual career choice to return to America's agrarian roots — before corporations and chemicals took control of our food production." - Atlanta Magazine

� "GROW! offers the opportunity to

understand a new generation of farmer... What we get is a picture of

farmers on 12 farms in Georgia as they doggedly pursue careers in agriculture despite challenges related to land ownership and lack of farming experience." - Seedstock

SECOND DAY, TSECOND DAY, TSECOND DAY, TSECOND DAY, THEHEHEHE By Brook Peters With Narration by Dan Luria, Charles Durning and Michelle Peters On September 11, 2001, 4 year-old Brook Peters was attending his second day of kindergarten a few blocks from the World Trade Center in New York City when two planes struck the Twin Towers. At age 11, Brook decided to make a film about that fateful day and its aftermath to give his fellow students and teachers at Ground Zero area schools a chance to share with the world their experiences. The Second Day is his touching and inspirational documentary, completed when he was 14. The film provides a unique and hopeful perspective on 9/11 through the eyes of young people and educators who lived through it. Brook's life, like that of so many others, was shaped by what he saw and felt on September 11. As his mother raced from Ground Zero with Brook on her shoulder, he watched as one of the Towers fell. Brook also lost a number of firefighter friends that day who he grew up around. In the film, classmates, teachers, counselors and firefighters reflect back on what they personally saw and felt on 9/11, how they coped in the days that followed, and what they learned from the experience. Ten years later, they found there were a number of positive lessons to share: people posses an inner strength and resilience that can overcome tragedies and hard times; in times of need people help and support each other in unexpected ways; and by connecting with others, we need not live our lives in fear and terror.

Reviews � "The Second Day is honest, heartfelt

and healing – a testament to the resilience of the children, teachers and families who weathered the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history. Teachers, this film should be the centerpiece of your 9/11 lesson plans. The film offers a vivid, approachable 'child's eye-view' of the events of that terrible day, framed by a young boy with a gift of wisdom beyond his years. Brook takes us through the tragedy of September 11th with compassion and utterly without sensationalism." - Kimberly Flynn, Director, 9/11 Environmental Action World Trade Center Health Outreach Program

� "A great documentary reveals,

educates and inspires. Brook Peters' film The Second Day does all three, while making your heart break and your soul rise. As an educator, I believe that "The Second Day" would be an extraordinary way to open a unit of study on 9/11. Brook's timeless story should be told for years to come." - Emily Strang-Campbell, Staff Developer, Teachers College, Columbia University

� "This wonderful documentary brings

back moments some people would rather not remember but more importantly it reminds everyone that people of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds forgot about prejudices and differences and banded together to assist people during the event and for years afterward. As an educational tool, this surely brings to light the fact that this goodness and fellowship can come out of such a horrific event. Maybe this type of story would help students understand that it shouldn't take such a tragedy to be helpful toward others." - Rose Mary Cella, 8th grade teacher and Union rep

NUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEAN Directed by Anne Makepeace Tells the amazing story of the return of the Wampanoag language, a language that was silenced for more than a century. Celebrated every Thanksgiving as the Indians who saved the Pilgrims from starvation, and then largely forgotten, the Wampanoag Tribes of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are now saying loud and clear, and in their Native tongue, "As Nutayunean," - We Still Live Here. The Wampanoag's ancestors ensured the survival of the English settlers known as the Pilgrims, and lived to regret it. Now a cultural revival is taking place. Spurred on by their celebrated linguist, Jessie Little Doe Baird, recent winner of a MacArthur `genius' award, the Wampanoag are bringing their language home. Like many Native American stories, this one begins with a vision. Years ago, Jessie began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time speaking in an incomprehensible language. These visions sent her on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in Wampanoag, lead her to a Masters in Linguistics at MIT, and result in an unprecedented feat of language reclamation by her people. Jessie's daughter Mae is the first Native speaker of Wampanoag in a century. Reviews � "There is nothing I know of that's

MEJORMEJORMEJORMEJOR By Olivia Carrescia After 30 years of war, a difficult peace, migration, economic, social and cultural upheaval, for her new film Olivia Carrescia returns to Todos Santos, to examine the changes that have taken place. The Todos Santeros now have cell phones, TV's and large cinderblock houses, but are they better off? The civil strife of the 1980's ended in the official Peace Accord of 1996, but left many of the conflict's underlying social and economic problems unresolved. An increasing number of Todos Santos, rather than traveling as they had done for generations to the coastal cotton plantations, began traveling back and forth to the U.S.—legally or illegally. They sent back cash remittances that those who were left behind used for household necessities, and later for clothes, electronics and other items. Before long, homes similar to those the migrants saw in the United States and in the luxury resorts of Cancun, Mexico, began springing up in this traditional Mayan village. As a result, Todos Santos grew and prospered, becoming a commercial hub in the northwestern mountains of Guatemala. But the prosperity was not to last. Long term migration and the economic crisis of 2008 in the U.S. has had severe repercussions in this once small mountain village. In A BETTER LIFE we meet again Santiaga, the weaver and resourceful homemaker, Benito, the former school teacher, and Desiderio, the wise environmentalist—all familiar to those who have seen the Todos Santos trilogy of films. Along with returning migrants and newly introduced villagers, young and old, the impact of profound change and altered expectations is explored with the sensitivity, awareness and insight that have characterized this documentary series. Reviews � "Olivia Carrescia completes a trilogy

of films about life in the Mam community of Todos Santos Cuchumatan by furnishing a series of vignettes, poignant and incisive, that document a giddying process of socio-economic as well as cultural change, one that has transformed a hitherto remote corner of highland Guatemala into a globalized hub. Her thirty-year perspective offers us a teeming microcosm of how traditional values are challenged, reconfigured,

and often obliterated, yet Todos Santos endures." - W. George Lovell, Queen's University, Canada (Professor of Geography)

� "Based on Carrescia's thirty years of

contact with Todos Santos Mam, this is a hopeful rather than despairing look at how the Mayas are struggling to improve their lives - some of them with great success." - David Stoll, a Professor of Anthropology at Middlebury College

� "For over thirty years, prize-winning

filmmaker Olivia Carrescia has carefully documented the lives of Todosanteros, developing long-term relationships that are evident in her newest film. Una Vida Mejor is a sensitive portrayal of what intensifying transnational migration has produced in Todos Santos over the course of the past decade. It is a compelling and much-anticipated update that won't disappoint." - Dr. Jennifer Burrell, Department of Anthropology, University at Albany SUNY

ECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, AN Directed by Nora Bateson A daughter's loving film portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers, Gregory Bateson, anthropologist, systems theorist and ecologist. AN ECOLOGY OF MIND is a portrait of Gregory Bateson, celebrated anthropologist, philosopher, author, naturalist, and systems theorist. His story is lovingly told by his youngest daughter, Nora, with footage from Gregory's own films shot in the 1930s with his wife Margaret Mead in Bali and New Guinea, along with photographs, filmed lectures, and interviews. Gregory Bateson was a man who studied the interrelationships of the complex systems we live in with scientific rigor and enormous integrity. His theories, such as "the double bind" and "the pattern which connects", continue to impact the fields of anthropology, psychiatry, information science, cybernetics, urban planning, biology, and ecology, challenging people to think in new ways. Through this film, Nora Bateson sets out to show that his ideas are not just fodder for academic theory, but can help instruct a way of life. She presents his thinking using a richly personal perspective, focusing on the stories Bateson used to present his ideas and how the beauty of life itself provided the framework of his life's pursuits. Hoping to inspire its audience to see their lives within a larger system, glistening with symmetry, play, and metaphor, AN

AND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMSAND CLASSROOMS Directed by Susan Vogel A swift instructive look at the artist demonstrating his process, and discussing his theories. Eight short, pointed sequences are designed for use in classrooms and museums either as stand-alone shorts, or as a 28-minute film. "Anatsui at Work" was shot on three continents over two years with "Fold Crumple Crush" with little duplication aside from condensed sequences of the studio work. The eight shorts explore specific media and follow Anatsui creating art in Nsukka and installing one of his most ambitious works on the facade of the Palazzo Fortuny Museum in Venice. The sections are: Materials – From the Environment. In Nsukka, Nigeria, we hear Anatsui talk about his relationship to materials and his use of "things that have been used before." The camera follows the artist to a teeming Nigerian recycling market, then to the modest distillery where he buys liquor bottle-tops, and to the rural yard where he found old mortars. Two of his Nsukka University colleagues enlarge upon Anatsui's philosophy. (4:54) Pottery – Tradition and Modernity. Handling three of his seminal "Broken Pots," and showing them to the camera, the artist describes his technique and talks about pottery as a metaphor for life. (2:43)

lWood – The Non-fixed Form. Anatsui walks through a Nigerian lumber market and talks about his work with chainsaw and wood. His wood wall reliefs are deliberately composed of separate boards that are not joined together. Back in the studio, while deftly rearranging the boards of a wall piece, he says his hope is to bring out creativity in others. Gazing at the wall piece he has radically transformed, Anatsui admits that most people don't have the courage to do this. (3:55) Outdoor Sculpture – University of Nigeria Nsukka. On the campus Anatsui walks around two monuments he created around 1980 which expressed his thoughts about the benefits—and risks—of science. (1:48) Tin Can Lids – Shaping and Reshaping. Taking a single sheet of lids from his "Peak Project" sculpture, Anatsui twists and props it up this way and that till it takes a "Fairly OK" form. He explains that there is no permanent form. (3:26) The Studio Process – Many Hands. Inside the Nsukka studio, assistants explain how they are organized, and how they make the labor intensive "blocks" with which Anatsui constructs his hangings. They demonstrate and name many of the different treatments that Anatsui has invented to create rich and varied textures. (4:42) Composing – Shifting and Arranging. Working on the studio floor we watch the culmination of the creative process. Anatsui orchestrates a dozen assistants and scores of "blocks" out compose what will become a huge hanging. (3:52) The Nomadic Aesthetic – Freedom to Move [Palazzo Fortuny]. In Venice we watch Anatsui shifting and changing the vast bottle-top sculpture he has draped over the entire facade of the Palazzo Fortuny Museum. He explains how his thinking takes shape in his art and ruminates about the connection between his philosophy of art and his life. Shot in Venice and Skowhegan, Maine.

FOR FREEDOM IN IRANFOR FREEDOM IN IRANFOR FREEDOM IN IRANFOR FREEDOM IN IRAN With the Iranian revolution of 1979 came the harsh imposition of Sharia law and the repression, persecution, state-sanctioned discrimination and murder of women. Over the last 30 years, the women's fight for freedom and equality led to an inner awakening. In 2003, Shirin Ebadi became the first Muslim woman and the first Iranian citizen to receive the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize acknowledging her courageous efforts for democracy and human rights in Iran. Her crowning achievement inspired Iranian women to begin what has become the most powerful movement for reform in Iran's history, the One Million Signature campaign. The bravery of these women is remarkable as they risk their lives to gain freedoms under one of the world's most repressive regimes. Lion Women chronicles the untold story of the Iranian Women's Movement and its fight for democracy and human rights. The fight culminated in Teheran's bloody streets in 2009 when the Lion Women were joined by hundreds of thousands protesting the controversial presidential election. For the first time, Iranian women reveal to the world their heartbreaking stories in this powerful documentary directed by filmmaker Gry Winther, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Lion Women in Teheran amid the brutality and violence.

Take the ball inside, score from the perimeter or take it to the rim! Philosophy: This 4-Out 1-In set incorporates 15-17 foot spacing, constant five man motion, post action, screening, and opportunities to drive to the hoop. Coach Clatchey makes all five spots on the floor interchangeable and puts players in position to succeed regardless of their skill set. With three different ways to initiate the offense you will be sure to keep the defense off-balanced with this continuity style offense. Spots Offense: Clatchey demonstrates the offense in both 5-on-0 and 5-on-5 settings to breakdown each and every action used in his 4-Out, 1-in set. With the use of flex, UCLA, and Vegas screens you will force the defense to defend multiple actions and keep them guessing.

Breakdown Drills: Each action of the Spots Offense is presented with five different breakdown drills to install the offense. In these drills the players work on setting screens, backdoor cuts, catching and shooting off of the pass, and work on passing and playing in the low-post. Sets and Quick Hitters: In this free flowing offense, Clatchey displays six sets and quick hitters that control where the shots are taken. With the use of staggered, flare, and ball screens--on top of the unpredictability of the offense--the options are endless. With all of the plays flowing back into the continuity of the offense, it allows your players the freedom to make decisions.

From the moment your defense is in transition to the block-out on the rebound and everything in between, Knight teaches and demonstrates the most critical aspects of man defense. Take an in-depth look at how Coach Knight developed and implemented his dominating man-to-man defense which led him to become the all-time winningest head coach in Division I Men's Basketball. Philosophy Tough man-to-man principles with great ball-side and weak-side help are hallmarks of Knight's successful brand of defense. Knight stresses the importance of finding the right defensive fit for your team's personnel. Conversion & Rebounding The two biggest areas that need to be worked on in every practice are transition defense and rebounding the basketball. Knight demonstrates techniques and drills that will get your team to run down the floor and deny any type of transition attack and finishing off possessions with securing

rebounds. Ball-Side & Help-Side Defense A solid defensive team begins with tough on-the-ball pressure. With the philosophy of forcing the ball to the corners, Knight demonstrates how ball-side help must shut down the drive and that the recovery to your man is both "low and short." Stressing always seeing both your man and the ball to avoid back-cuts and never losing sight of the basketball are just a sample of the concepts you will uncover in this segment. Defensive Drills Coach Knight demonstrates eight defensive drills that incorporate every element of defense: rebounding, transition defense, man-to-man pressure, help-side defense, ball-side defense, post defense, how to cover screens and more!

In these four practices Seth Greenberg stresses the importance of passing and catching to limit turnovers, closing out and staying disciplined on the defensive end, and teaching his players how to play basketball and not be robotic in their actions. Individual Development: Practices begin with a warm-up designed to reiterate proper fundamentals. Greenberg's Dribble Warm-Up Series puts an emphasis on the ball handler's ability to change speeds and direction. Players vary their moves on the way to the basket and work on different finishes both inside and outside of the paint. Expanding on being efficient with the basketball, six different passing drills are demonstrated in the half-court and in the full court. Coach Greenberg splits up perimeter and post players in each one of his practices to work on developing the skill set needed for his offense. Perimeter players work on playing off dribble penetration, making the extra pass, being shot ready, all while maintaining proper spacing. Post players work on scoring moves with their back to the basket, roll and replace action, and proper techniques of sealing in the post. Defensive Fundamentals and Concepts: Coach Greenberg's teams are known for playing aggressive, disciplined defense and he takes you through all of his drills that he uses to build his foundation. Learn how to guard game actions such as cross screens, flex screens, down screen and UCLA screens, as well as learning proper help and recover rotations, both from scramble and disadvantage situations. You will also learn how to guard different types of ball screens both in the half-court as well as out of transition. Relying on all-out effort, communication, and on-balanced close outs you will see what separates good defensive teams from great ones. Motion Offense: Greenberg allows his players to play in a free-flowing manner without any set designed action. Each practice they work on their motion cuts and how to play off of the defense. Greenberg demonstrates multiple drills both in the 5-on-5 and in breakdown segments that will teach your players how to play off dribble penetration and the proper spacing necessary to both effective and efficient in your half-court

With this "all access" view, you will gain a great understanding of how you can add the "little things" into your practices and program to be successful. You will see how Steve Donahue builds a team that plays with hard cutting movements on offense, intense all out effort on defense and develops his group to play as a unit. Individual Drills Coach Donahue begins his practices with individual improvement drills aimed at reading the defense, shooting, ball handling and ball screening in his half court offense. Within these break down drills both post and perimeter players are taught to counter the defense with screening on and away from the ball with slips to the basket and pick and pop spacing, and how to force their defender to "bite" on a hard back door cut. These drills along with various shooting and passing drills, will give you insight into building a very skilled and spaced attack in the half court. Man-to-Man Offense Donahue teaches his whole man-to-man offense and shows how to run it in the half court, as well as transitioning it into the full court. In Donahue's shuffle cutting offense,

players must cut hard to the basket with precision and timing; read the defense off of down screens, ball screens, pick and pop action, back cuts or rejects off of screens; and dribble attack at the basket for kick outs to the perimeter for open 3-point opportunities. Learn how he attacks zone defenses by using his overload theory. He also gives insight to his man-to-man sets, baseline out of bounds plays and situation plays to get a good look at the basket when the game is on the line. Man-to-Man Defense Donahue teaches his half- and the full court-man to man defense using 5-on-5 shell drills and rebounding transition drills. These drills teach rotation and communication on helping to cover up dribble penetration gaps, ball screen pick and pops and dribble hand-offs. Donahue also shows his pressure 1-3-1 zone. Press Breaks Learn how to break full-court pressure.

Coach Jones, a former DeMatha player and assistant coach under basketball Hall of Famer Morgan Wootten, shows why DeMatha is one of the top high school basketball programs in the nation. Warm-Ups Alan Stein takes the players through their daily pre-practice warm-up exercises on the court. The warm-up drills incorporate basketball specific movements and include a series of dynamic flexibility exercises to prepare players for the cutting, jumping and landing that basketball practices and games require. Drills Add accountability and competitiveness to every drill you do! With this philosophy at the forefront, Coach Jones starts practice with aggressive full court drills that include a time goal for accountability. To teach his pressure defensive philosophy, Jones uses transition defense drills, half court star close outs, and K-State defensive drills to get his players to think and react in the correct

movements and rotations on defense. Within all of his drills he wants to have perfect execution mentally and physically as well as sharp cuts, passes and correct basketball movement. Offense Coach Jones reveals his philosophy on how to attack half court and full court man-to-man defense, his zone offenses against a 2-3 zone and a 1-3-1 zone and special situation baseline out of bounds plays and side line out of bounds plays. Jones likes to use a lot of ball screens and back screens to put the defense into a disadvantage and get great angles to look at high/low entries into the post. He also believes in using motion continuity principles that include back screens and flex cuts to get quick scoring lay-ups. Within his zone offensive package Jones uses a lot of spacing and flashing movements in order to move the basketball in the right spots against any zone defense they play against. You will get insights from Jones' philosophy on how great teams always find a way to win close basketball games by using well-executed offensive tactics to get the basketball in the right position. Defense Coach Jones demonstrates his philosophy of playing high intensity pressure basketball in the half and full court. Learn to attack the basketball in the full-court, put pressure the ball handler and take your opponent out of his rhythm. Take options away from the offense by denying passing lanes and rotating to help side on all dribble penetration. See drills that will help your players understand these defensive principles such as stance, overplay, help and recover, defensive transition and rebounding. As a bonus Jones provides a complete breakdown of his lane 1-3-1 zone defense. Strength and Conditioning Coach Stein meets with the players after practice and goes through a 30 minute in-season training workout to maintain and strengthen the players' cores, legs and upper body. All of these exercises work basketball muscles and help your athletes avoid a season-ending injury.

PRAPRAPRAPRACTICECTICECTICECTICE With Frank Martin Frank Martin gives coaches a complete view into what makes the Kansas State Wildcats so successful in the Big 12. With this "all access" look at the Wildcats first four practices of the 2010-11 season, you'll gain insight into the technique and work put forth by the Wildcats players and coaches to try to make themselves better each and every day. The first days of practice are about establishing a base of fundamentals to compete at a championship level. Coach Martin emphasizes a full court "pressure" mentality with his players. His philosophy is built on teaching the whole-part-whole method of offensive and defensive concepts. His defense pressures the basketball in the full court and keeps the ball handler out of the middle of the floor. Offensively, Martin runs a disciplined motion offense with correct screening angles on and off the ball while encouraging both inside and perimeter play. Warm-Up Learn individual improvement drills consisting of full court passing, entries into the post, attacking the rim with the pressure of a defender, sealing in the post, working high/low and shooting drills to gain correct repetitions for outstanding offensive fundamental play. Martin implements his full court drills--1-on-1, 2-on-2, 3-on-3 and 4-on-4--then brings it all together in 5 on 5 transition drill that teaches his keys for successful full court disruptive pressure. Through repetition of these drills and more, his players develop a "push the basketball ahead" mentality to get the basketball up the floor as fast as possible. During these drills, Martin emphasizes slicing to get the basketball to the other side of the floor; rim running the posts, which puts intense pressure on the defense in transition and leads to easy baskets; spacing on the court, attacking the middle with the dribble and looking to take advantage of post touches, flare screens and ball screens. Man-to-Man Defense Coach Martin pieces together his championship man-to-man defensive principles by breaking them down in individual and team defensive stations. In these stations you will learn Martin's "mirroring the basketball on the perimeter" principles and one-on-one closeout technique. You will see various defensive drills that teach correct on-ball defensive positioning, defensive rotation on dribble penetration, how to take away the ball handler's pivot foot, defending against the back screen, how to avoid multiple screens and stay with your man and more. Motion Offense The last part of the Coach Martin's practice is the breakdown of his motion offense concepts in which he shows the

whole concept of the players' movements against man-to-man half-court defenses. Martin utilities the Carolina secondary action and allows the players to flow right in their half-court man attack. Players are taught to look high/low for an inside touch, set staggered screens, dribble hand-offs and ball screening on the wings and at the top of the key.

With this video set, Coach Calipari breaks down every drill in more detail than ever before to teach his team how to play the right way! Transition Defense The first practice is all about defense and getting the team ready to play at a fast pace and to disrupt any offense they may face. Likewise, Calipari balances this with an ability to slow the game down and make intelligent basketball decisions. Calipari has them begin with running their offense in the half-court and immediately transition onto the defensive end with constant pressure on the ball. His "Progression Drill" shows you how the defense reacts to odd numbers on the break. By building from a 2-on-1 and developing into 3-on-2, 4-on-3, 5-on-4, and finishing with a 5-on-5, you will see the principles of the Kentucky Wildcat defense and how they are able to cover so much ground. Man-to-Man Defense To play for Calipari you must commit yourself to the defensive end. With fundamental drills including lunges, charging drills, loose ball drills, stunting, box closeouts, and the impossible closeout he prepares his team to be an instinctive, aggressive defense. In the shell drill, you will see the basic responsibilities that the team must have to be successful: intense ball pressure, great help defense, high closeouts, and finishing with rebounds. Also included is their 2-2-1 press which is designed to speed up the pace of the game and create turnovers; covering how to align your press against one guard up or even against four-across. Dribble Drive Motion Offense Calipari shows you how he builds the Dribble Drive through breakdown drills, off of transition, and through numerous entry

sets. Keeping to his principle of playing at a fast pace; Calipari has the team flow their half-court game straight into their transition offensive attack in a 5-on-0 setting working on numerous options. With breakdown drills including 11, 21, 32, Blood 33 and 44, and Skip 21 you will see how each drill reinforces the principle of attacking the rim and putting pressure on the defense. In both Kentucky's 2-Man Shooting and 3-Man Shooting breakdown drills, you will see how they work on the reads of the Dribble Drive while being able to play off of one another. Q&A Wrapping up both of the practice sessions, Calipari answers questions about his team and his approach to practice. He discusses topics on how to structure a practice, teaching young player's proper shooting technique, and how to attack sagging defenses. Calipari provides you with everything you need to create a championship caliber team. Item no. : PH01851752 Format : DVD Duration : 248 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 140.00

BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL PRACTICEPRACTICEPRACTICEPRACTICE With Jerry Petitgoue From footwork to the follow-through, high school coaching legend Jerry Petitgoue has produced the definitive DVD for teaching young players to shoot the basketball correctly. Coach Petitgoue begins by presenting the four key points of shooting, which center around the concept that no player is a born shooter. Next, players perform a variety of form shooting drills where Petitgoue focuses on the process rather then the result, thus giving every player the blueprint to be a great shooter.

Petitgoue demonstrates the set position and he outlines the essentials for preparing to shoot the ball correctly. He also explains many common problems and how to correct them. You will see drills that, through repetition, will build strong shooting fundamentals. In the shot builder drill, the shooter concentrates on keeping his elbow in while making shots in different locations around the basket. Petitgoue gets players in the habit of running into the shot with the sprint-shot drill. This game-like drill teaches players to get behind the ball, have hands ready and use a "1-2 step" into the shot. The "peed dribble lay up drill" is a simple drill to teach players to attack the rim from the 3-point line with only one dribble. Petitgoue keeps the drills going with the ball position drill, the spin drill and the 3-man-2 ball shooting drill, which require players to pass, catch, and shoot on the move. This DVD is perfect for any coach wanting to develop the art of shooting in their "feeder program." Item no. : JH01851824 Format : DVD Duration : 47 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 50.00

TO THE FLEX OFFENSETO THE FLEX OFFENSETO THE FLEX OFFENSETO THE FLEX OFFENSE With Bob Schlosser Learn to master the Flex continuity offense with counters! The Flex has been popularized over the past few decades. It's easy to run and primarily based on flex screens and down screens. The difficulty is the proper execution of all the screens and the timing of the motion. Bob Schlosser breaks down his variation, which eliminates the down screen, to create easy, open shots. Continuity: Coach Schlosser goes into great detail to show exactly how the offense works and how it creates open looks. He adds different variations to the continuity by using a flare action rather than a traditional down screen. These variations allow for dribble penetration and they keep the defense from overplaying in the passing lanes. He also shows several counters to keep the defense guessing. By using these counters the defense cannot just go through the motions of the continuity or they will give up an easy open look. With his variation of the Flex, Schlosser also gives you some rules that he uses based on where the ball is passed and counters to every defensive pressure you will encounter. Breakdown Drills: The actions of the Flex Offense are broken down into seven drills to help install and reinforce the actions of the offense. These drills emphasize triple threat position, simulate getting into the offense from different spots on the floor, work on backdoor cuts, get players to hit the open

man and work on finishing at the rim. Entries and Out of Bounds Plays: Using seven different entries into the Flex that have their own variations keeps the defense totally off balance. Also, it allows certain players to get open looks early into the offensive set. By utilizing different counters throughout the entries makes it impossible for your opponent to scout all the possible actions - giving your offense the upper hand. Coach Schlosser also shows how to use sideline and baseline out of bounds situations into a flex set. With all these different actions defenses will have extreme difficulty preventing an open look. Transition Offense: Traditionally, the Flex is renowned as a half court offense. Schlosser, however, takes the offense a step further and expands it to the full court. Using stagger screens and screen the screener actions, your shooters will get a variety of looks at the basket early in the shot clock. Schlosser also highlights two set plays off of the break which will allow for both a post-up and a double-stagger for your primary shooter. If you are a coach who runs the Flex, or one that is looking for a few Flex sets, this DVD will improve upon your offensive game.

His philosophy is based on constant ball pressure, patience and rebounding. Using simple adjustments, Coach Showalter shows how to manage different press break attacks.

The game shots area focuses on two drills that place an emphasis on proper technique in game pressure situations. Footwork: Set a solid foundation for your shot with good footwork. Wright demonstrates two drills that will train your players to pivot on both feet, to create proper spacing, and to reinforce the rhythm of getting from the catch into their shot - all from a variety spots on the floor. Passing: In the Passing segment, Wright takes the players through three drills that work on footwork and communication, as well as chest and bounce passing, ball handling and feeding the post.

DRILLSDRILLSDRILLSDRILLS With Steve Fisher Steve Fisher's team is known for their up-tempo style of play including attacking the rim and open three-point opportunities. In this on-court demonstration, Coach Fisher teaches you their fast-paced style of play and their half-court offense. Shooting Drills Coach Fisher teaches competitive shooting drills that will teach your players to move with a purpose. He demonstrates partner shooting drills to get your players shots at the top of the key, elbows, corners and three pointers. Transition Offense The Aztecs love to get out on the break and push the ball up the court looking to create easy shots. See how Fisher's offense generates uncontested three-point shots in transition and easy entries into the post. Fisher details options you can use when your guard is unable to push the ball up the sidelines. He demonstrates a drag screen in transition with the bigs for a roll and replace action to space the floor. Half-Court Offense Coach Fisher's offense is primarily based on two offensive sets: Shuffle and Scissors (Horns). The Shuffle Series provides a basic wing-to-block cut off of the backscreen from the post man looking for a quick basket, but in his variation he uses two separate staggered screens to free open shooters along the perimeter. Should the passes be denied on swings and reverses, Fisher reveals tactics for releasing pressure with replace and screen away options. Also covered are numerous quick hitters and options off of the Shuffle series including isolations, ball-screens, post-up's and special three-point looks. The Scissors set is a Princeton variation with the two big guys at the elbows. With the use of downscreens, back cuts, and ball-screens this set provides open shot

BIOGRAPHIES

BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD

IRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, A Directed by Mac Dara O Curraidhin Written by Brian Winston Robert Flaherty (1884-1951) was the man credited with being the father of the modern documentary film after he produced and directed "Nanook of the North" in 1922. Flaherty is one of the great name directors in the history of cinema and to this day films such as "Nanook of the North", "Moana", "Man of Aran" and "Louisiana Story" are widely regarded as classics and still regularly screened. Flaherty is also a controversial figure in that he was also the first to show that filming the everyday life of real people could be molded into dramatic, entertaining narratives. The minute he chose to stage scenes in order to make a better film out of his seminal Inuit project "Nanook of the North", he was opening documentary's Pandora's Box. And with his later work in Samoa, the Aran Islands and Louisiana first raised such enduring topics of documentary ethics as ethnographic falsification, exploitation of one's subjects and the perils of corporate

sponsorship. But this entertaining portrait of Flaherty shrewdly looks beyond standard polemical positions to present a complex view of the man and his work (shown in vivid excerpts). A BOATLOAD OF WILD IRISHMEN includes testimony from Flaherty himself as well as contributions from amongst others, Richard Leacock - cameraman on "Louisiana Story" (1948) and father of the contemporary hand-held documentary style, Martha Flaherty - Flaherty's Inuit granddaughter, George Stoney - documentary filmmaker and professor at New York University, Sean Crosson - film scholar at the Huston School of Film, Jay Ruby - anthropologist and film scholar at Temple University, and Deirdre Ni Chonghaile - musician and folklorist from arainn, as well as telling interviews with the people whose parents and grandparents Flaherty put onto the cinema screens of the world: Inuit, Samoans and, of obvious personal interest to the Irish filmmakers, the 'wild men' of Aran Item no. : YF03210737 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 84 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00

BRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAIN Directed by Ann Dunsky The fight to save San Francisco's San Bruno Mountain speaks to the global dilemma of economic growth versus species preservation. This film deals with the global dilemma of economic growth versus species preservation. San Bruno Mountain provides a context to explore these complex questions. The mountain is San Francisco's lost landscape, a mostly intact remnant of the ecosystem that once covered the city's hills. It is the site of the nation's first Habitat Conservation Plan, a controversial compromise that trades development for additional habitat preservation and management. For fifty years, people have fought to protect San Bruno Mountain and its rare butterflies. Told with humor and insight by participants and observers alike, BUTTERFLIES & BULLDOZERS is a story about the rights of nature and the rights of people, about compromise and commitment, and the tough choices we all have to make.

BUSINESS ETHICS

BRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESS By Anne Georget A woman in the grip of pre-menstrual dysphoric disease slams grocery carts outside a supermarket in frustration. A concerned young Japanese woman asks her husband if he has ever been happy. Peppy actors in lab coats reassure the audience that depression is like "a cold of the soul." These are scenes from some of the many pharmaceutical ads that pepper Branding Illness, an eye-opening documentary about how big drug companies create diseases and then supply the medications that can cure them. It's a reversal of the traditional approach - trying to discover a drug that cures an illness - and one that relies far more heavily on marketing than on research. The film offers case after startling case of how big pharma creates the conversation around new diseases and then offers up the solutions. Take pre-menstrual dysphoric disease. It appeared right about the time the patent on Prozac was about to expire, representing a significant loss of income. Enter PMDD. Prozac manufacturer Eli Lilly rebranded the drug, changed its colour, jacked up the price, and had a potentially profitable new medication to sell as a treatment for a disease few had ever heard of before. Featuring at times acerbic commentary from experts including physicians, historians and medical anthropologists (among them maverick academic David Healy), Branding Illness offers unprecedented insight into the ways illnesses and their potential cures are marketed. No claim seems too outrageous - whether it's convincing the Japanese they have widespread depression, urging millions of healthy adults they need medication to lower their cholesterol, or even proposing that all adults over 50 take a "poly-pill" to lower their risk of common diseases. In one particularly striking segment, a member of the Dutch Institute for Rational Use of Medicine recounts how her group pretended to represent a pharmaceutical company and created a fake awareness campaign for a drug to treat excessive flatulence. Their brochures were welcomed in doctors' offices, their posters

hung in medical centres, and television news reported on the "problem" and the treatment available. The Internet is supposed to make medical information more accessible, but as the film points out, it's very hard to know who is behind the information users find. A seemingly innocuous awareness campaign could be part of an expensive PR effort. Antoine Vial of the French Health Regulatory Agency puts a campaign for ankylosing spondylitis under the microscope, and finds that what it doesn't say may be more revealing than what it does. And if it's hard for consumers to get access to objective opinions, it's no easier for independent-minded academics. Medical anthropologist Kalman Applbaum says 80% of clinical trials and 97% of the most influential clinical trials are commercially funded. Even science has become a tool to advance the sales of drugs. Item no. : PK03100743 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 52 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 390.00

Much like the standup comedian who tests and refines jokes in small clubs before rolling them out to a television audience, most successful entrepreneurs don't begin with brilliant ideas: they discover them through a deliberate process of creative trial and error. From his research on innovative leaders—from Apple, 3M, Toyota, and Starbucks, to the U.S. Army's counterinsurgency strategists, to artists and even standup comics—Peter Sims found they shared a surprisingly similar approach. These innovators methodically take small experimental ideas through a process of testing, failure, and refinement. Their low-risk "little bets" provide critical information for multiple iterations and successive small wins that eventually lead to creative breakthroughs. Pixar, for example, was acquired by Steve Jobs as a hardware company, but its peripheral and low-risk experimentation in short animated films over several years ultimately led it to pivot to full-length filmmaking and the

CINEMA STUDIES

BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD

IRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, A Directed by Mac Dara O Curraidhin Written by Brian Winston Robert Flaherty (1884-1951) was the man credited with being the father of the modern documentary film after he produced and directed "Nanook of the North" in 1922. Flaherty is one of the great name directors in the history of cinema and to this day films such as "Nanook of the North", "Moana", "Man of Aran" and "Louisiana Story" are widely regarded as classics and still regularly screened. Flaherty is also a controversial figure in that he was also the first to show that filming the everyday life of real people could be molded into dramatic, entertaining narratives. The minute he chose to stage scenes in order to make a better film out of his seminal Inuit project "Nanook of the North", he was opening documentary's Pandora's Box. And with his later work in Samoa, the Aran Islands and Louisiana first raised such enduring topics of documentary ethics as ethnographic falsification, exploitation of one's subjects and the perils of corporate sponsorship. But this entertaining portrait of Flaherty shrewdly looks beyond standard polemical positions to present a complex view of the man and his work (shown in vivid excerpts). A BOATLOAD OF WILD IRISHMEN includes testimony from Flaherty himself as well as contributions from amongst others, Richard Leacock - cameraman on "Louisiana Story" (1948) and father of the contemporary hand-held documentary style, Martha Flaherty - Flaherty's Inuit granddaughter, George Stoney - documentary filmmaker and professor at New York University, Sean Crosson - film scholar at the Huston School of Film, Jay

MEETING IN STMEETING IN STMEETING IN STMEETING IN ST----GERVAISGERVAISGERVAISGERVAIS By Frederic Choffat & Vincent Lowy In 2009, in a small theater in Geneva, Switzerland, the film directors Marcel Ophuls and Jean-Luc Godard met for an unusual, surprisngly intimate and sometimes contentious dialogue with each other in front of a live audience. Luckily for us, it was filmed. Ophuls' film THE SORROW AND THE PITY triggers Godard to discuss his personal and fragmented childhood memories about his escape to Switzerland during World War, while Ophuls recalls the controversy surrounding the release of his film in France. The issue of the written word being taken more seriously than the moving image is brought up by Godard. Throughout their meeting, the two directors debate about national and ethnic identities, what it means to be Jewish, the role of the director, and auteur theory, which ultimately reveals why they never collaborated on a tentative film that was once discussed. MARCEL OPHULS AND JEAN-LUC GODARD: THE MEETING IN ST-GERVAIS gives us the unique opportunity to spend time with an encounter between two of the most influential and idiosyncratic post-war film directors. Godard and Ophuls are in the twilight of their years, but they remain provocative, sharp, and as uncompromising as ever.

SOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCE

THE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISK According to a 2009 Computer World survey, 69 percent of American businesses have not developed a social media policy. Especially since social media has become as pervasive as ever, posing potential risks to an organization's bottom line. Employees' posts on social networking sites can alienate customers, tarnish an organization's reputation, disclose confidential company information, infringe privacy rights, and become evidence against an organization in court. Social Media: Reduce the Risk alerts organizations to these risks and provides relevant examples, including true-to-life stories. Explaining the need for a social media policy, it stresses how a typical Code of Conduct is inadequate to regulate online activity and how blocking websites at work is no longer enough. The program elaborates on specific issues that a formal social media policy must address and provides a blueprint for such a policy, citing general guidelines on: � Content � Scope and application � Management and enforcement, and � Consequences of violations. The program also advises that the policy should remind employees of the blurring line between personal affairs and business-related matters, i.e. that what employees post on social networking sites can affect the organization's image. In particular, it addresses how a policy relates to the First Amendment, i.e., the right to free speech, and ends by listing safe online practices: � Respect and online etiquette � Accuracy of information, and � Transparency In a company cafeteria setting, Social Media: Reduce theRisk explores these topics by re-enacting conversations between employees. The program follows their discussions as they explain the risks of social media, debate the importance of a policy, and exchange insights and opinions.

COMMUNITY

BETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDSBETWEEN TWO WORLDS Directed by Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman A personal essay revealing the passionate debates over identity and generational change inside today's American Jewish community. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS is a groundbreaking personal exploration of the community and family divisions that

are redefining American Jewish identity and politics. The filmmakers' own families are battlegrounds over loyalty to Israel, interpretations of the Holocaust, intermarriage, and a secret communist past. Filmed in the United States and Israel, this first-person documentary begins with a near riot at a Jewish Film Festival in San Francisco, reveals the agonizing battle over divestment from Israel on a university campus, and shows the crackdown on dissent in Israel itself. Reviews � "[A] beautiful, passionate, and riveting

personal documentary." - Ruth Rosen, Professor Emerita of History, UC Davis

and original work jettisons shrill argument, and illuminates today's furious debates over Jewish politics and identity." - David Biale, Professor of Jewish History, UC Davis

GOVERNMENT

GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK! By Katia Jarjoura On January 25, 2011, the world was captivated as thousands of protesters flooded Tahrir Square in Cairo, demanding an end to the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. But the ground for the protests had been laid in the weeks and months preceding the mass outpouring of opposition. Goodbye Mubarak! takes us to Egypt during the fall of 2010, in the run-up to legislative elections. What we discover is a revolution-in-waiting already simmering under the surface of Egyptian society. Over several weeks, the documentary crew travels the country - from Cairo, to Alexandria, to the industrial city of El-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us to activists, politicians, and ordinary Egyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walks through a market at night, urging people to sign a petition calling for the end of Egypt's draconian Emergency Law and for free elections. "If this conversation is broadcast on TV, we'll all be arrested," one woman tells her. Later, a man she approaches says he hopes she makes it out of the neighborhood alive.

We also meet opposition candidates in the midst of their campaigns - feminist Gameela Ismail, liberal politician Ayman Nour (who was sentenced to five years in prison after winning election in 2005) and Muslim Brotherhood members Saad El Husseini and Hamdi Hassan. They may not agree on much, but all see endemic corruption, the repressive Emergency Law and the lack of political freedom as the key elements that must change if the Arab world's largest and most influential country is to move forward. And while young, web-savvy activists get much of the credit for the demonstrations, Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deep opposition to the regime ran in the months leading up to the revolution. "We only have corrupt and old leaders with nothing to offer" says one angry pensioner. Another adds that "The solution is in the hands of our 12 million jobless kids. They need to go out, demonstrate, and overthrow the regime." Within weeks, Mubarak's opponents - led by many of those we meet in this film - would be doing just that. Goodbye Mubarak! Is an invaluable portrait of a crucial moment in Egyptian society. Item no. : DK03400807 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 72 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 348.00

KAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRET ET ET ET

RECIPERECIPERECIPERECIPE By Alexandru Solomon When George Becali's limousine was stolen in 2009, he didn't call the police. Instead, Becali - one of the wealthiest men in Romania - turned to his personal bodyguards. They tracked down the alleged thieves, then captured and tortured them. Becali was imprisoned briefly. Soon after his release, he was elected to the European Parliament. Few stories better illustrate contemporary Romanian economic and political realities: the fluid line between private wealth and political power, and the egos of wealthy men who see their own actions as above the law. Becali is one of the rich and powerful Romanian magnates who have dominated the post-Communist Romanian economy, and to whom filmmaker Alexandru Solomon introduces us in his startling documentary Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe. With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescu regime the future seemed bright. Freed from its tyranny, Romanians looked forward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial age marked by freedom and a higher standard of living. Twenty years later, Romania has the smallest GDP of all former Communist countries, with a third of the economy

controlled by a small group of millionaires. Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure has stagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th in the world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe seeks to understand how this came to pass - how public assets enriched very few, to the detriment of the country. Rather than trying to understand the elite from a distance, Solomon sits down with them and asks them pointed questions. And they are surprisingly forthcoming in their responses. Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-President of the Romanian Senate, who leveraged a job with a state-controlled export company into a net worth in the billions. Speaking in his palatial home, under an oil painting of himself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: a small group of people were in a position to get rich, and they did. Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought a state-owned oil refinery valued at 615 million Euros for only 50 million Euros - then sold it a few years later for two billion. By its very nature, capitalism in a transitional period is "immoral" he says. Intermingled with the interviews, are whimsical but effective animated sequences that use clay, LEGO and Playmobil to visually highlight key points and clearly demonstrate labyrinthine transactions. In addition to its personal interviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalism also depicts them at a distance, on television screens overlooking Bucharest, for instance. Here, they are remote, unapproachable - as most Romanians would experience them. Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests is that not much has changed over the last 20 years. The film imagines Ceausescu returning from the dead to tour the country now, and finding much to like. "You have maintained the three pillars of the Communist Party," this imaginary Ceausescu tells a group of assembled magnates. "Prejudice. Corruption. Relationships."

SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS'

TWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHT By Vincent de Cointet & Christophe Ayad Syria: the Assads' Twilight is a history of the Assad regime, from its origins to its teetering, possibly final days in 2011. The Assads have been nothing if not survivors. In 1982, Hafez ruthlessly crushed an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood (the film shows us rare photos of property damage during the battles - the only record of an otherwise invisible massacre by security forces). In contrast, soon after coming to power in 2000, Bashar ushered in the Damascus

Spring - a flowering of dissent and openness. But when it seemed to threaten his rule, he banned all opposition and tightened his family's grip on the reins of wealth and power. Syria: the Assads' Twilight, recounts the history of the regime and the region - including the tortured and troubled history of Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The film uses archival footage, as well as the testimony and analysis of members of the US and Israeli security establishment, key politicians, dissidents (among them members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood) and political scientists. What emerges is a picture of a regime that has been at the centre of Middle East politics for two generations - but is now on the verge of being swept away, along with other corrupt dictatorships in the region. As exiled dissident Abdel Hamid Atassi says, "Bashar cannot repress dissent in the Internet era... Hafez could throw people in prison for 20 years, and nobody knew about it. That's impossible today."

IMPUNITYIMPUNITYIMPUNITYIMPUNITY By Juan Jose Lozano & Hollman Morris In 2005, Colombia's new "Commission for Peace and Justice" started gathering evidence about the horrific violence carried out by illegal paramilitary groups. A highly controversial justice and peace

process was designed to allow paramilitary leaders to hand in their weapons and give themselves up voluntarily in exchange for reduced sentences. IMPUNITY documents the hearings in which paramilitary commanders, such as "HH" describe atrocities they have committed in detail, as the families of their victims listen and watch on projected screens. Through a series of commission testimonies, footage of paramilitary crimes, and interviews with victims and experts, IMPUNITY shines a light on the brutal history of paramilitary violence. Yet due to serious irregularities in the justice and peace process, many families express their fear that they will never know the truth surrounding the deaths of their loved ones, and that the perpetrators will escape punishment. In an era where many countries are tempted to sacrifice justice in the name of "peace", what happens in Colombia will resonate beyond its borders. Review � "The Camera Justitia Award is for a

film that deals with serious crimes against humanity and the sheer impossibility of getting justice despite overwhelming evidence. It is a deeply emotional film, which bravely accuses at least two countries of collusion with impunity for the perpetrators. Starting with a heartbreaking opening scene, the film skillfully follows the chronology of those seeking truth and justice, narrowing the complex range of issues down to a specific case, overwhelming the audience with the same desperation that threatens to crush the victims and survivors.

weekly shopping for groceries to holiday gift-giving -- and the creative solutions they come up with. Beyond avoiding toothpicks and making toothpaste from scratch, their competition includes a deeper examination of the sobering problem of waste in North America and how it contributes to major environmental concerns, such as climate change, ocean pollution and others. The film also looks at how and why our consumption habits have changed in the last few decades, contrasting the throw-away culture of today with times not long ago when people were more conscious of the resources they were using. The creative projects of renowned artist Chris Jordan and an interview with marine pollution expert Captain Charles Moore help illustrate the problems caused by our wasteful habits, and the important contributions we can each make to solutions.

Improvisation is a powerful tool in the therapy room to help people let go of their fixed identities and experience more freedom, spontaneity, and aliveness. It is especially useful with couples, who often get stuck in limiting relational patterns. In this video, you get to see the transformation of a married couple as they participate in various theater games that help them creatively explore common themes that most couples face, such as: power, competition, dealing with differences, vulnerability, conflict, mutuality, and sex. Dr. Wiener will show you how to create a safe space for your clients to experiment with different ways of being and how to facilitate insight-oriented discussions about the exercises, so that they can discover a host of options and possibilities they never knew they had. Although many innovators in our field claim that their approaches work for all populations, Wiener freely (and refreshingly) admits that many couples are not open or interested in trying out these exercises; but these improvisations techniques are indeed a valuable resource to have in your therapy toolbox. If you find yourself feeling restless with therapy as usual, this video may add some creative spark to your practice. By watching this video, you will: � Understand the components of

Rehearsals for Growth&#0153 and how to apply these improvisational techniques to assessment and therapy with couples.

� Learn how to facilitate discussions that will enrich each couple's understanding of their relational tendencies, enabling them to try out new ways of being.

� Find more ease in transitioning between action methods and talk therapy.

used concealed daggers (sicae) in their murders of Romans and their supporters. In modern language, a sicario is a professional killer or a hit man. In an anonymous motel room on the U.S./Mexico border, a Ciudad Juarez hitman speaks. He has killed hundreds of people and is an expert in torture and kidnapping. He was simultaneously on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartels and a commander of the Chihuahua State Police. There is currently a $250,000 contract on his life and he lives as a fugitive, though he has never been charged with a crime in any country. With his face obscured by a black mesh hood, he tells his story to the camera inside the very motel room he once used to hold and torture kidnapped victims. Aided only by a magic marker and notepad, which he uses to illustrate and diagram his words, the sicario describes, in astounding detail, his life of crime, murder, abduction and torture.

violence, Gianfranco Rosi's El Sicario Room 164 offers viewers the rare chance to meet a Mexican narco hitman and to live to tell the tale." - Variety

around half past four in the afternoon, as the Belgian King Baudouin was being driven through Kinshasa, standing bolt upright next to the future president Kasavubu in a Cadillac convertible, he saluted the Belgian flag. At this very moment a young Congolese man steps from the crowd, steals the sabre of King Badouin from behind, and runs away. And photographer Robert Lebeck eternalizes the incident in a single shot. In BOYAMBA BELGIQUE: OR WHY A KING SHOULD NOT LOOSE HIS SWORD, this picture becomes a keyhole through which to peer at the decolonization of Africa. For the filmmakers embark on a search for the thief, meeting eyewitnesses, searching for archives, visiting villages, and digging into the meaning and symbolism of the act. Until most good stories of hidden history, after false starts and misdirection about the person and meanings both, they do discover the real thief, and, why he did it.

DEATH AND DYING

EL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHT T T T

WATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMAN By Natalia Almada Martin, the night watchman, arrives with the setting sun in his rumbling blue Chevrolet. The cemetery mascots, EI Negro y La Negra, chase his truck down the road and greet him with wagging tails. The sound of construction fades away as the daytime workers leave and Martin is left alone, looking out over the skyline of mausoleums where Mexico's most notorious drug lords lie at rest. Crosses and steel construction bars pierce the purple and pink sky. As night descends luxurious cars fill the dirt roads. Mercedes,

a sexy young widow, arrives with her little girl in a pristine white Audi. A portrait of her husband, a corrupt policeman holding a machine gun, watches over them as they sweep and mop the shiny marble floors. The coconut vendor's radio blasts a gory list of the day's murders: "Culiacan has become a war zone." The buzz of cicadas fills the air with anticipation. Through Martin's vigilant eyes we watch time pass in this place where time stands still. A portrait of the daily life of the cemetery allows us to see the intersection between those who make a living there and those who rest there—innocent or guilty. A construction worker hovers over the grave plastering the inside of the cupola while a young widow lights a candle to her recently killed husband. Eventually mourning too becomes work as the widows return day after day to tend to their husbands mausoleums, a perversely gaudy reminder of the violence that is wounding Mexico, and of the socio-economic conditions in which this violence flourishes. A worker covets the luxuries his wages will never afford him as he hangs a chandelier. The women look too young to be widows; the children play hopscotch on tombs the way others play in sandboxes and on jungle gyms. The code of silence makes conversation dangerous. The word "narco' is forbidden. The teetering scaffolding, the rotting wooden ladder, the photograph of a man who died at 23: life is precarious for everyone with business here. EL VELADOR lingers at the threshold of violence. By refusing to show the graphic images that the press feverishly disseminates Almada asks us to dwell in the moment when violence has just left its mark and when violence is imminent. Her camera enters into the intimate and ordinary routines of this world with patience, restraint and tenderness. EL VELADOR is a film about violence without violence. Reviews � "EL VELADOR is an unsettlingly quiet,

even lyrical film about a world made and unmade by violence." - A. O. Scott, The New York Times

expanding cemetery." - Variety Item no. : AT03100805 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 72 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00

THE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISK According to a 2009 Computer World survey, 69 percent of American businesses have not developed a social media policy. Especially since social media has become as pervasive as ever, posing potential risks to an organization's bottom line. Employees' posts on social networking sites can alienate customers, tarnish an organization's reputation, disclose confidential company information, infringe privacy rights, and become evidence against an organization in court. Social Media: Reduce the Risk alerts organizations to these risks and provides relevant examples, including true-to-life stories. Explaining the need for a social media policy, it stresses how a typical Code of Conduct is inadequate to regulate online activity and how blocking websites at work is no longer enough. The program elaborates on specific issues that a formal social media policy must address and provides a blueprint for such a policy, citing general guidelines on: � Content � Scope and application � Management and enforcement, and � Consequences of violations. The program also advises that the policy should remind employees of the blurring line between personal affairs and business-related matters, i.e. that what employees post on social networking sites can affect the organization's image. In particular, it addresses how a policy relates to the First Amendment, i.e., the right to free speech, and ends by listing safe online practices:

� Respect and online etiquette � Accuracy of information, and � Transparency In a company cafeteria setting, Social Media: Reduce theRisk explores these topics by re-enacting conversations between employees. The program follows their discussions as they explain the risks of social media, debate the importance of a policy, and exchange insights and opinions.

While research proves that teachers are the most important school factor in a child's success, American Teacher reveals the frustrations facing today's educators: the difficulty of retaining talented new teachers and why many of the best teachers are forced to leave the profession altogether. Can we reform teaching in the U.S. and turn it into a prestigious, financially attractive and competitive profession? Reviews � "A film about education that gets it

CUBAN MEMORY OF THE CUBAN MEMORY OF THE CUBAN MEMORY OF THE CUBAN MEMORY OF THE

WORLDWORLDWORLDWORLD By Alice de Andrade This documentary is a love story to one of the greatest Cuban film makers, Santiago

Alvarez, to the ICAIC Cuban Newsreel, but it is not that alone. Through this film the viewer will travel in time, into crucial chapters of Cold World history from the second half of the 20th Century, and into the other side of our perception of historic reality. The ICAIC Latin American Newsreel was created in 1960, just after the Cuban revolution. It produced weekly cinematographic Newsreels and documentaries, speaking about world current affairs, which were shown to the people in the 400 cinemas Cuba counts. Currently, the exceptional archival treasures contain almost 1,500 episodes. This Newsreel is the most comprehensive record of the history of the revolution, but not only. From the death of Salvador Allende to Bola de Nieve's masterful piano solos; from the discovery of the Cambodian Killing Fields to Portugal's Carnation Revolution… The anonymous but supremely talented cameramen of the ICAIC witnessed it all. The documentary gently brings new life to the intermingled genres, passions and images by director Santiago Alvarez and his fellow filmmakers, to give them the means to soar once again. The ICAIC Newsreel collection has been declared Memory of the World by the UNESCO in 2009. Item no. : ML28360003 Format : DVD (Spanish, With

Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life – from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age – has been less widely understood.

PRICEPRICEPRICEPRICE Directed By David Martin 40% of the tax system comes from income taxes, and only 3% comes from energy taxes. To transfer progressively the charges that are weighing on work towards energy, means on the one hand encouraging energetic sobriety which is so necessary, and on the other hand it means supporting local employment! This vital revolution will have a huge impact on social, economic and individual behavior, and it will concern all domains: consumption, agriculture, transportation, housing, urban planning, leisure. Can the carbon emissions trading as set up in the Kyoto Treaty incite and support the needed changes? What is sure is that it has become an ideal platform for irresponsible speculators to "ecologically convert" their pollutants. Could a binding tax system succeed in slowing down the exponential growth of worldwide exchanges caused by massive industrial relocations and by a virtually free transportation of goods around the globe? This film puts many complex but crucial questions. A truly interesting point of view, especially in the light of the debates around nuclear energy! Item no. : JN28360006

Every year, they generate another 12,000 metric tons of high-level waste. Into Eternity is the first feature documentary to explore the mind-boggling scientific and philosophical questions long-term nuclear waste storage poses. Structured as a message to future generations, the film focuses on the Onkalo waste repository now under construction in Finland, one of the first underground storage facilities. Onkalo is a gigantic network of tunnels being carved out of bedrock that will start receiving Finland's nuclear waste in 2020. Once the repository is full, in about 100 years, it will be closed and hopefully remain sealed for at least 100,000 years. Into Eternity takes viewers deep into the Onkalo facility as it is being constructed and asks Onkalo representatives, scientists, theologians and others to address fundamental but challenging questions. How can our civilization know what the world will be like in 100,000 years? The first modern homo sapiens appeared about that long ago and no human structure has survived more than 5000 years. How can we anticipate climate and geologic changes that far in the future? What will life on our planet be like then? How do we warn distant generations of the deadly waste our civilization left behind? What languages or signs will they understand? How do we prevent them from thinking they have located the pyramids of our time or some other treasures? With its stark, stylistic approach, Into Eternity not only raises questions about the possibility of long-term nuclear waste storage, but also invites reflection on the limits of science and human knowledge, along with our responsibility to future generations. Reviews � "CRITICS' PICK. I am tempted to call

Into Eternity the most interesting documentary, and one of the most disturbing films, of the year so far… the way the movie and the people in it express their concern gives it a feeling of sublimity unusual in most environmentalist documentaries." - A.O. Scott, New York Times, Read Full Article Here

� "It might seem crazy, if not criminal, to

obligate 3,000 future generations of humans to take care of our poisonous waste just so that we can continue running our electric toothbrushes. But it's already too late to wave off the nuclear age, and Mr. Madsen's film comes at a perfect time to join a worldwide conversation about what to do with its ashes." - Dennis Overbye, Science Reporter, New York Times, Read Full Article Here

Eternity …is a rare hybrid: an information-packed documentary crossed with an existential art film. In

WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK

GOLDGOLDGOLDGOLD By David Lavallee Narrated by Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence for National Geographic Canada is the number one foreign supplier of oil to the United States, a fact little known in America. Most of the oil imported comes from the Tar Sands of Northern Alberta, the second largest known oil reserve in the world outside of Saudi Arabia. But this is not a traditional oil field. The oil must be extracted and processed from the sands at a significant environmental cost -- requiring huge quantities of a diminishing fresh water supply and large amounts of energy that contribute to global warming. White Water, Black Gold follows David Lavallee on his three-year journey across Western Canada in search of the truth about the impact of the world's thirstiest oil industry. This is a journey of jarring contrasts, from the pristine mountain ice fields that are the source of the industry's water, to the Tar Sands tailing ponds, where thousands of migrating birds have unwittingly landed and died. Both government and industry spokespeople deny any cause for concern, but in the course of his journey Lavallee, backed by university scientists, makes a number of discoveries that challenge that assessment and raise serious concerns for Canada and the United States. Native peoples living downstream are contracting unusual cancers; new science shows that water resources in an era of climate change will be increasingly scarce; the proposed upgrading of the oilfields could endanger multiple river systems across Canada that makeup about half of its water supply; and a planned oil pipeline across British Columbia brings fresh threats to rivers, salmon and the Pacific Ocean. White Water, Black Gold is a sober look at

ECOLOGY

ECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, ANECOLOGY OF MIND, AN Directed by Nora Bateson A daughter's loving film portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers, Gregory Bateson, anthropologist, systems theorist and ecologist. AN ECOLOGY OF MIND is a portrait of Gregory Bateson, celebrated anthropologist, philosopher, author, naturalist, and systems theorist. His story is lovingly told by his youngest daughter, Nora, with footage from Gregory's own films shot in the 1930s with his wife Margaret Mead in Bali and New Guinea, along with photographs, filmed lectures, and interviews. Gregory Bateson was a man who studied the interrelationships of the complex systems we live in with scientific rigor and enormous integrity. His theories, such as "the double bind" and "the pattern which connects", continue to impact the fields of anthropology, psychiatry, information science, cybernetics, urban planning, biology, and ecology, challenging people to think in new ways. Through this film, Nora Bateson sets out to show that his ideas are not just fodder for academic theory, but can help instruct a way of life. She presents his thinking using a richly personal perspective, focusing on the stories Bateson used to present his ideas and how the beauty of life itself provided the framework of his life's pursuits. Hoping to inspire its audience to see their lives within a larger system, glistening with symmetry, play, and metaphor, AN ECOLOGY OF MIND is an invitation to ask the kinds of questions that could help thread the world back together from the inside.

KAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRET ET ET ET

RECIPERECIPERECIPERECIPE By Alexandru Solomon When George Becali's limousine was stolen in 2009, he didn't call the police. Instead, Becali - one of the wealthiest men in Romania - turned to his personal bodyguards. They tracked down the alleged thieves, then captured and tortured them. Becali was imprisoned briefly. Soon after his release, he was elected to the European Parliament. Few stories better illustrate contemporary Romanian economic and political realities: the fluid line between private wealth and political power, and the egos of wealthy men who see their own actions as above the law. Becali is one of the rich and powerful Romanian magnates who have dominated the post-Communist Romanian economy, and to whom filmmaker Alexandru Solomon introduces us in his startling documentary Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe. With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescu regime the future seemed bright. Freed from its tyranny, Romanians looked forward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial age marked by freedom and a higher standard of living. Twenty years later, Romania has the smallest GDP of all former Communist countries, with a third of the economy controlled by a small group of millionaires. Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure has stagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th in the world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe seeks to understand how this came to pass - how public assets enriched very few, to the detriment of the country. Rather than trying to understand the elite from a distance, Solomon sits down with them and asks them pointed questions. And they are surprisingly forthcoming in their responses. Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-President of the Romanian Senate, who leveraged a job with a state-controlled export company

into a net worth in the billions. Speaking in his palatial home, under an oil painting of himself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: a small group of people were in a position to get rich, and they did. Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought a state-owned oil refinery valued at 615 million Euros for only 50 million Euros - then sold it a few years later for two billion. By its very nature, capitalism in a transitional period is "immoral" he says. Intermingled with the interviews, are whimsical but effective animated sequences that use clay, LEGO and Playmobil to visually highlight key points and clearly demonstrate labyrinthine transactions. In addition to its personal interviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalism also depicts them at a distance, on television screens overlooking Bucharest, for instance. Here, they are remote, unapproachable - as most Romanians would experience them. Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests is that not much has changed over the last 20 years. The film imagines Ceausescu returning from the dead to tour the country now, and finding much to like. "You have maintained the three pillars of the Communist Party," this imaginary Ceausescu tells a group of assembled magnates. "Prejudice. Corruption. Relationships."

EDUCATION

LEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THE By Ramona Diaz There is a shortage of teachers in American public school systems. Consequently, a significant number of urban school districts across the country have begun hiring foreign teachers. School districts across the nation have traveled the world in search of highly qualified teachers. In this search, the Philippines has emerged as a recruitment hub American-based education system, and its English-speaking population. THE LEARNING follows four Filipina teachers – Dorotea, Angel, Grace, and Rhea - during their freshman year in America. Across the school year's changing seasons, the film chronicles the sacrifices they make as they try to maintain a long-distance relationship with their children and families, and begin a new one with the mostly African-American students whose schooling is now entrusted to them. Their story is at once intensely personal, as each woman deals with the implications of her decision to come to the U.S., and fundamentally public, as they become part of the machinery of American education reform policy.

LEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LESSSSSSSS Leading More With Less will show you how to inspire your employees to become more involved, engaged and productive. Let's face it, these days we're all being asked to do a lot more, with a lot less. Everyone's feeling the stress, and it's easy for employees to become unfocused and concerned with self-preservation. In this kind of environment, strong leadership skills have never been more important. Leading More with Less demonstrates six critical leadership skills that will inspire employees through difficult periods. These skills are universal and can be used through good-and bad-times, without spending any scarce resources. The key to understanding how these concepts work, is to see them in action. This video realistically demonstrates both "wrong way" and "right way," leadership examples-and the powerful effect they have on employees. The program is broken down into six distinct sections…with each chapter focusing on a specific technique: 1. What have you got to hide? 2. Are you well-informed? 3. Who's got the last word? 4. Deja vu all over again? 5. Who do you appreciate? 6. Who's watching you? Item no. : HA01510499 Format : DVD (With CD-ROM) Duration : 17 minutes Price : USD 795.00

The liquid is an algae-based bio-fuel, and scientist Steve Mayfield believes it is a sign that a post-carbon future is drawing closer. If we're going to avoid catastrophic climate change, we will need to move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. But which alternatives are the most promising? POST-CARBON FUTURES, examines the options&mdashfrom massive wind and solar projects, to re-engineering the planet itself, to more modest local efforts. From his office in sunny California, John Woolard of BrightSource Energy sees the future in solar power. The company runs the largest solar plant in the US. Located in Nevada, it produces enough energy to power 15,000 homes. Woolard says we don't have an energy problem, we have a collection and distribution problem. But

with 2,000 new cars hitting the road in Beijing every day, and China set to open a new coal-fired plant a week for the next decade, the truth is we will require far more energy than solar and wind energy can produce&mdashunless we want to cover the surface of the earth with collector panels and windfarms. Some believe the solution lies in enormous, continent-altering projects&mdashsuch as a plan to blanket the Sahara in solar panels to produce electricity for Europe. Meanwhile, the developers of the proposed green city of Cao Fei Dian, 150 miles from Beijing, see the future in a city built from scratch on in-filled coastal land. POST-CARBON FUTURES makes the case that we need a completely different approach to economic growth and prosperity&mdashthat geo-engineering and building huge projects simply in order to maintain a consumer society makes no sense. British environmentalist Tim Jackson, from the University of Surrey, and French writer Paul Aries both argue that our current economic system has trapped us into needing to constantly increase our emissions. Aries, a leading advocate of the "de-growth" movement passionately argues for a re-imagining of our economic system&mdashnot just cutting back on emissions but redefining prosperity itself. The film travels to the UK, where we visit the British "transition town" of Totnes, which is converting itself into an environmentally sustainable community, and meet permaculture activists in San Francisco who dream of turning the city's 1,800 acres of lawns into sources of food, fuel and fibre. The Copenhagen and Cancun climate summits resulted in stalemates. But perhaps the focus on international treaties is misplaced. Maybe our best hope for bold changes lies right in our backyards.

GOLDGOLDGOLDGOLD By David Lavallee Narrated by Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence for National Geographic Canada is the number one foreign supplier of oil to the United States, a fact little known in America. Most of the oil imported comes from the Tar Sands of Northern Alberta, the second largest known oil reserve in the world outside of Saudi Arabia. But this is not a traditional oil field. The oil must be extracted and processed from the sands at a significant environmental cost --

requiring huge quantities of a diminishing fresh water supply and large amounts of energy that contribute to global warming. White Water, Black Gold follows David Lavallee on his three-year journey across Western Canada in search of the truth about the impact of the world's thirstiest oil industry. This is a journey of jarring contrasts, from the pristine mountain ice fields that are the source of the industry's water, to the Tar Sands tailing ponds, where thousands of migrating birds have unwittingly landed and died. Both government and industry spokespeople deny any cause for concern, but in the course of his journey Lavallee, backed by university scientists, makes a number of discoveries that challenge that assessment and raise serious concerns for Canada and the United States. Native peoples living downstream are contracting unusual cancers; new science shows that water resources in an era of climate change will be increasingly scarce; the proposed upgrading of the oilfields could endanger multiple river systems across Canada that makeup about half of its water supply; and a planned oil pipeline across British Columbia brings fresh threats to rivers, salmon and the Pacific Ocean. White Water, Black Gold is a sober look at the untold costs associated with developing this major oil deposit, and raises important questions about how much environmental damage we're willing to tolerate to feed our oil appetite.

BRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAIN Directed by Ann Dunsky The fight to save San Francisco's San Bruno Mountain speaks to the global dilemma of economic growth versus species preservation. This film deals with the global dilemma of economic growth versus species

preservation. San Bruno Mountain provides a context to explore these complex questions. The mountain is San Francisco's lost landscape, a mostly intact remnant of the ecosystem that once covered the city's hills. It is the site of the nation's first Habitat Conservation Plan, a controversial compromise that trades development for additional habitat preservation and management. For fifty years, people have fought to protect San Bruno Mountain and its rare butterflies. Told with humor and insight by participants and observers alike, BUTTERFLIES & BULLDOZERS is a story about the rights of nature and the rights of people, about compromise and commitment, and the tough choices we all have to make. Reviews � "A brilliant film portrayal of

environmental politics in America." - Jeffrey K. Stine, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution

sometimes painful choices that the local conservationists have to make. Though the film is about a local issue, it is a national story told well." - Forest History Today

the morality of compromise. Is it acceptable when a threatened species is at risk? Can a valuable species be saved if part of its habitat is destroyed? Where do you draw the line?

GUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SUR Directed by Janos Richter Guanape Sur. A barren rock island off the coast of Peru. No soil, no water. Nothing is growing here. Around its shores a restricted area has been established. The island serves hundreds of thousands of sea birds as a breeding ground. One of its peculiarities is that for a period of ten years only two men may live on it, in the eleventh year though, hundreds of men simultaneously pounce on its slopes

in order to recover the bird's bequests: dried excrement, an acrid mixture of nitrogen and phosphor compounds, potassium oxide and quicklime, which blunts one's sense of smell. It can be used as a fertilizer or for producing dynamite. Its name is one of the few words the world borrowed from the language of the Incas: guano. A war has been fought over guano. And even during peacetime, harvesting it from the sharp rock is a brutal fght. Everything on the island is done by hand. Review � "A barren island off the coast of Peru

MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER

KYOTOKYOTOKYOTOKYOTO Directed by Yves Billy He has expanded through the very air we breathe. He's galvanized activists around the globe to fight him, and stymied the world's political leaders. Meet Mr. CO2: carbon dioxide, the primary cause of climate change. This documentary may use whimsical animation to personify carbon dioxide emissions, but its message is dead-serious: if we fail to cut the rate of CO2 spewing into the atmosphere, we face a bleak future. MR. CO2 opens in Copenhagen, where the world's political leaders gather in December 2009 to try and hammer out a new carbon treaty to replace the Kyoto Accord. Joining them are activists and climate scientists, on-hand to press for action. They include Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chair of the International Panel on Climate Change, and Bill McKibben, founder of a movement aimed at lowering atmospheric carbon, who says at the conference, "we are past the red line, the real debate is between human beings on the one hand, and physics and chemistry on the other." Traveling from the Copenhagen negotiations to China, Australia, and the United States, MR. CO2 explores the scope of the challenge. In China we meet Ren Runhu, director of the Lu'An Mine, which producers 55 million metric tones of coal a year. Even though 5,000 miners die in China's coal mines yearly, the industry

is flourishing. In his gleaming office—a far cry from the working conditions of the black-faced miners—he explains that coal is just too important to Chinese industry. As Ma Jun, founder of China's Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, points out, if you need more energy, a new coal plant is the cheapest and simpleest short-term solution. Meanwhile, the world's richest people—North Americans and Europeans—continue to be responsible for staggeringly high per capita emissions. While the developing world—which faces the most devastation from climate change—presses for a deal, China and the United States thwart efforts that might impinge on their sovereignty. And little wonder: the U.S.'s rise to global economic dominance was built through burning fossil fuels, and China hopes to raise 150 million people out of poverty the same way. Neither has much short-term interest in limiting emissions—and neither do countries like Australia, which export huge amounts of coal to fuel China's energy-hungry industries and power plants. Featuring climate scientists, activists, coal producers and high-stakes negotiators, MR. CO2 makes clear that there will be no easy answers when it comes to solving the climate crisis. Clean coal is more propaganda than reality, and carbon sequestration and storage carry their own environmental risks. It seems that—in the short-term at least—Mr. CO2 will continue to have a bright future indeed. Item no. : FH03210812 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 52 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 298.00

THE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISK According to a 2009 Computer World survey, 69 percent of American businesses have not developed a social media policy. Especially since social media has become as pervasive as ever, posing potential risks to an organization's bottom line. Employees' posts on social networking sites can alienate customers, tarnish an organization's reputation, disclose confidential company information, infringe privacy rights, and become evidence against an organization in court. Social Media: Reduce the Risk alerts organizations to these risks and provides relevant examples, including true-to-life stories. Explaining the need for a social media policy, it stresses how a typical Code of Conduct is inadequate to regulate online activity and how blocking websites at work is no longer enough. The program elaborates on specific issues that a formal social media policy must address and provides a blueprint for such a policy, citing general guidelines on: � Content � Scope and application � Management and enforcement, and � Consequences of violations. The program also advises that the policy should remind employees of the blurring line between personal affairs and business-related matters, i.e. that what employees post on social networking sites can affect the organization's image. In particular, it addresses how a policy relates to the First Amendment, i.e., the right to free speech, and ends by listing safe online practices: � Respect and online etiquette � Accuracy of information, and � Transparency In a company cafeteria setting, Social Media: Reduce theRisk explores these topics by re-enacting conversations between employees. The program follows their discussions as they explain the risks of social media, debate the importance of a policy, and exchange insights and opinions.

goal � Shooting off of a pass with your back

to the goal � One touch scoring � Scoring close to the goal Starting at the top of the circle, van Herwaarden focuses demonstrates how to execute the basic shot and the reverse shot. The reverse shot is an important skill for every player as it is difficult for the keeper to track and makes it difficult to defend the attacker. Another area of focus in these drills is the ability to take the ball away from the defense to create space for a shot. Since a majority of the goals scored in field hockey happen close to the goal, van Herwaarden demonstrates a number of combination scoring drills to fine tune your one touch scoring skills. These drills work on scoring with limited time and space, rebound shots with no back swing, shots off deflections and more. Throughout the DVD, van Herwaarden

Coach Trapp has won over 500 games in her career at Messiah and her teams have been invited to the NCAA tournament over 20 times with 14 of those teams reaching the Final Four. Coach Trapp's drills begin with basic principles and build up to more advanced principles. The DVD begins with stationary stick work drills involving the ready position concentrating on footwork and balance - the keys to good stickwork. Trapp slowly adds movement to the drills combining ball handling, footwork, passing with spin, slip, flop, pull back and lift techniques. The progression ends with shots out of the movements. Each drill trains the players to keep their body and sticks low to ensure consistent ball control. These drills will help your athletes build speed and quickness while carrying the ball down the field and to put more drive behind their shot. Building on the ball control drills, the staff demonstrates drills to improve passing and receiving skills while on the move. This segment includes a 2-on-0 drill to develop ball control, passing and receiving skills and a five-point drill for receiving passes on the move from a longer distance. These drills reinforce low body position, soft hands, passing accuracy and timing. Using these drills, your players will learn to cut to get open and receive a pass with pressure or get practice intercepting passes.

HOCKEYHOCKEYHOCKEYHOCKEY With Barry Kagan Peak athletic performance often decides the success of your team. Barry Kagan covers everything in this video on how to maximize speed output, agility work, conditioning your athletes for game-time, and the importance of recovery to your workouts. When the overall commitment by the athletes is made, the outcome is

evident once they step on the field. Training Plan Coach Kagan discusses how he and the Maryland Coaching Staff plan out the training protocol for the upcoming season. All workouts done throughout the year complement each other; speed workouts, agility drills and strength training are all included and revolve around the underlying component of maintaining proper conditioning. From post-season workouts, to spring training, and in-season workouts, Kagan describes in length of what is expected during each period of training including rep ranges, frequency of strength training sessions and how often players should be running. Dynamic & Pre-Game Warm-Ups Whereas most warm-up plans consist of long periods of time, Kagan's plan is really brief with the focus on getting the body warmed up and ready for the game. Long periods of stretching and warm-up drills can often extend the length of a game being counterproductive to what the goal at hand is. In the drills and stretches included, players are able to be completely ready for peak performance at a much faster rate than before. Speed & Agility Training Speed training is based on the two mechanisms of strike frequency and stride length. Strike frequency is how quickly the nervous system can fire and how quickly you can drive yourself to the desired outcome. While stride length is more of strength and production you put on each movement. Kagan covers how to use those mechanisms in seven specific speed drills as well as 18 agility drills designed to maximize your training sessions. These drills include sport specificity to enhance player morale during periods of strenuous drills. Conditioning The goal for athletes is to play at high intensity for extended periods of time. While conditioning is usually only related to the aspect of being able to run, you must be able to prepare athletes to not become injured. Running drills are usually kept short in duration and require change of pace while alternating intensity to mimic the strain of a full game.

FILM HISTORY

BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD BOATLOAD OF WILD

IRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, AIRISHMEN, A Directed by Mac Dara O Curraidhin Written by Brian Winston

Robert Flaherty (1884-1951) was the man credited with being the father of the modern documentary film after he produced and directed "Nanook of the North" in 1922. Flaherty is one of the great name directors in the history of cinema and to this day films such as "Nanook of the North", "Moana", "Man of Aran" and "Louisiana Story" are widely regarded as classics and still regularly screened. Flaherty is also a controversial figure in that he was also the first to show that filming the everyday life of real people could be molded into dramatic, entertaining narratives. The minute he chose to stage scenes in order to make a better film out of his seminal Inuit project "Nanook of the North", he was opening documentary's Pandora's Box. And with his later work in Samoa, the Aran Islands and Louisiana first raised such enduring topics of documentary ethics as ethnographic falsification, exploitation of one's subjects and the perils of corporate sponsorship. But this entertaining portrait of Flaherty shrewdly looks beyond standard polemical positions to present a complex view of the man and his work (shown in vivid excerpts). A BOATLOAD OF WILD IRISHMEN includes testimony from Flaherty himself as well as contributions from amongst others, Richard Leacock - cameraman on "Louisiana Story" (1948) and father of the contemporary hand-held documentary style, Martha Flaherty - Flaherty's Inuit granddaughter, George Stoney - documentary filmmaker and professor at New York University, Sean Crosson - film scholar at the Huston School of Film, Jay Ruby - anthropologist and film scholar at Temple University, and Deirdre Ni Chonghaile - musician and folklorist from arainn, as well as telling interviews with the people whose parents and grandparents Flaherty put onto the cinema screens of the world: Inuit, Samoans and, of obvious personal interest to the Irish filmmakers, the 'wild men' of Aran Item no. : YF03210737 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 84 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00

during World War, while Ophuls recalls the controversy surrounding the release of his film in France. The issue of the written word being taken more seriously than the moving image is brought up by Godard. Throughout their meeting, the two directors debate about national and ethnic identities, what it means to be Jewish, the role of the director, and auteur theory, which ultimately reveals why they never collaborated on a tentative film that was once discussed. MARCEL OPHULS AND JEAN-LUC GODARD: THE MEETING IN ST-GERVAIS gives us the unique opportunity to spend time with an encounter between two of the most influential and idiosyncratic post-war film directors.

OUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISON By Marie Monique Robin OUR DAILY POISON—a shocking documentary film that reveals a broken safety system concerned more with protecting trade secrets than human health. (In one key moment, a member of the UN agency responsible for setting acceptable daily limits of poisonous chemicals admits that the numbers are "theoretical" and have "nothing to do with the real world.") The film shows that the main cause of the epidemic is environmental: it is the result of the 100,000 chemical molecules that have invaded our environment, and primarily our food, since the end of the Second World War. The film is divided into three distinct, but interrelated sections, making it ideal for classroom use. In the first, Robin meets farmers suffering horrific health problems—such as leukemia, Parkinson's, and brain lesions—linked to pesticide poisoning, and looks into the effects those same pesticides have on people eating fruits and vegetables. Robin then moves on to the broken regulatory regime, using the artificial sweetener Aspartame as a case study. It is a cautionary tale about the revolving door between government and industry, and the influence of money on research findings. Finally, OUR DAILY POISON reveals the inadequacies of testing individual compounds in a world where everyone carries around a cocktail of synthetic chemicals absorbed from food and the environment—many of them mimicking the body's own hormones. OUR DAILY POISON is a smart, well-researched and thoroughly compelling documentary that will reshape the way you think about everyday products and the systems that are supposed to ensure their safety. It explores ways in which people can protect themselves by strengthening their immune mechanisms, through food, as demonstrated by many scientific studies (whose findings are rejected by the pharmaceutical industry).

turning the corner on a pass rush � a powerful strike and maintain pad

level when coming out of the stance � the ability to stay ahead of the block

To gain this understanding, Partridge shares eight drills that focus on getting your lineman's hips open and away from blocker. You will also see how to sell an inside move, then come back inside with a chop technique; to avoid getting blocked in the back once your ends have won a speed rush; and how to get under elbow of a bigger offensive lineman and arm bar around lower part of blocker's body. The groups drills focus on clearing feet to defeat cut blocks, shedding a tight end block and specific drills for beating the blocking assignments of spread teams.

SCHEMESSCHEMESSCHEMESSCHEMES With Rob Manchester Rob Manchester delivers seven man coverages that you can add to your 3-5-3 Defense. These man schemes can compliment your zone coverages by allowing you to switch back-and-forth based on the flow of the offense. These coverages also allow you to keep the same blitz package, giving you multiple looks that will cause confusion for the opposing offense. These man coverage packages feature multiple back and under coverages. Manchester has simplified the calls used to identify the schemes to make it easier for the players to learn and implement on game day, which minimizes the margin of error. Manchester shares this system with you so you can incorporate it into your system. Packages consist of three true man free concepts and four zero man concepts: � Cover Deuce - 4 man pressure

perfect for first down and long distance situations versus pass as it gives you another guy underneath for coverage.

� Cover 1 - Similar to Cover Deuce, it's a true 3-man free cover with a 5-man pressure except the non-blitzing linebacker has to cover the running back. Includes adjustments for motion to doubles and trips formations.

� Cover 1 Fly - Same as Cover 1, but you make an adjustment when you get a trips formation. Great coverage to defend bunch sets, rub routes and wide receiver screens as it always allows you to have a free safety over top.

� Cover 0 - Both outside guys are blitzing off the edge, only run vs. a 2-back formation. Three linebackers are in charge of two backs, with the remaining linebacker left under.

� Cover Black - A 5-man pressure package that leaves no defenders deep. Two linebackers remain to help with the third receiver.

� Cover Brown - This is a 6-man pressure package, leaving one linebacker to cover the running back.

� Cover Blue - This is a 6-man pressure in which the free safety has the running back/third receiver.

Every coverage is shown in diagram format, followed by a wide and end-zone video clips. Manchester breaks down each

coverage making it easy for you to understand how to use multiple coverages on the back end while remaining simple up front. Each coverage includes adjustments for motion to double and vs trips formations. You also get various looks versus multiple offensive formations, including doubles and trips look.

OVERVIEWOVERVIEWOVERVIEWOVERVIEW With Rob Manchester Rob Manchester has served on the GMC defensive coaching staff since 2003, serving as defensive coordinator since 2007. In seven seasons (2003-09), GMC has been a top five ranked defense four times, including #2 overall in 2007; and led the country in rush defense in 2004 and 2007. Manchester's defense helped GMC to the the NJCAA National Runner-up in 2005. Use the 3-5-3 to match up with any offense; spread, power game and more. In 2004, Georgia Military launched its wildly popular video series "Encyclopedia of the 3-5-3 Defense." Since then, the Bulldogs have re-invented their vaunted defense to better match up with today's offenses, to counter adjustments offenses have made to attack the 3-5-3 and to simplify the defense for their athletes. The biggest change you will see is the ends are now in a five technique and getting out and running to the ball. This change stops the ends from getting clogged up in the middle. In addition, the ends take the dive action, which frees up the second level to make the QB in the zone read schemes. This defense is designed to stop the run first. However, it has different coverages and front packages so that you can bring pressure in a variety of ways and can blitz either 3, 4, 5 or 6 players on any snap. The speed you can put on the field will allow you to match up with any offense style and stop any run. Manchester talks you thru game film showing Georgia Military's base, solid, under, tuff and heads alignments versus different formations. The different defensive front packages force the offense to form new blocking rules. The defense does not cover the offensive guards, which creates a "what if" mentality because they have to account for all five players on the second level. Manchester includes a review of the personnel needed to run the 3-5-3 Defense. He explains traits to look for in

each position to help you set up your defense. Take a fresh look at the 3-5-3 defense today! Item no. : JN01851705 Format : DVD Duration : 50 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 60.00

These zone schemes will compliment your man coverages to allow you to change back-and-forth based on the flow of the offense. These coverages also allow you to keep the same blitz package, giving you multiple looks that will cause confusion and force the quarterback to make quick reads that can lead to interceptions. Manchester, with his years of experience and success in the 3-5-3, takes you through a detailed breakdown of five zone coverages. � Cover Gray - A 3-deep with 4-under

coverage that is only run with 4-man pressure. Will allow you to cheat on any route in the flat.

� Cover Green - A 5-man pressure package with a 3-under, 3-deep look. Forces QB to make a quick read/pass.

� Cover Red - A rotating defense with three defensive backs where the free safety replaces the blitzing linebacker.

� Cover Orange - Quarters coverage (four deep zone coverage) that works well against spread formation to defeat the four vertical package. Can be run versus any pro or doubles formation.

� Cover Gold - A rotating defense with the corners and safety playing the deep middle.

Every coverage is shown in diagram format, followed by a wide and end-zone video clip. Throughout the video review, Manchester breaks down each coverage making it easy for you to understand how to use multiple coverages on the back end while remaining simple up front. You also get various looks versus multiple offensive formations, including doubles and trips looks.

of the 4-2-5 schemes and their objectives. Through extensive research, Coach Neathery developed his defense by studying and visiting with other programs such as TCU and North Dakota State that have successfully implemented the 4-2-5. By taking the best ideas from other programs and adding some of his own tweaks, Neathery has developed a defensive scheme that has consistently performed in the Top 5 nationally in numerous defensive categories. To assist you with getting the right players in the right positions, Neathery explains the seven categories of personnel in the 4-2-5. You will see each player's specific assignment and the traits your players need to play the position. Neathery shares the base pass coverage for his 4-2-5: quarters coverage. The advantage of the 4-2-5 pass coverage is that you will always have a 3-2 advantage to the wide side of the field.

SETTING UP THE SYSTESETTING UP THE SYSTESETTING UP THE SYSTESETTING UP THE SYSTEMMMM With Chris Ash Chris Ash's philosophy behind the 4-3 Defense can be summed up in one word--Aggressive. In this overview of the 4-3, you get the basic formations, alignments and coverages of the defense that helped lead Wisconsin to the Rose Bowl and a share of the 2010 Big Ten Championship. Ash describes the importance of being aggressive and hustling on every single play with a simple phrase--"Put the Ball Down." It is an attitude and mindset that dictates a readiness to play against anyone, anywhere at any time, no matter what the game situation. This 4-3 Defense is zeroes in on five objectives: � Keep the opponent off the

scoreboard. � We will stop the run. Make the offense

one dimensional. � Must minimize big plays. � Must be great tacklers. � Create takeaways and score. It's all

about the ball. Using an in-depth power point presentation, Ash details every position in the defense. He explains simple terminology for alignments and gap responsibilities of the linemen, run fit concepts for linebackers (Stack, Bow, Boss and 4-Way) and man and zone coverages for the secondary. Ash uses practice footage to show several drills that are run every day at the beginning of practice. These "defensive openers" emphasize techniques of pursuit, tackling, interception returns, stripping the ball and recovering fumbles. To complete the package, this DVD includes a bonus PDF that can be accessed on your computer and printed for your personal use. The PDF includes: � Descriptions for different kinds of man

and zone coverages � Terminology for offensive personnel

groups

SHUTTING DOWN THE SHUTTING DOWN THE SHUTTING DOWN THE SHUTTING DOWN THE

PASSING GAMEPASSING GAMEPASSING GAMEPASSING GAME With Chris Ash Pick up the key concepts and coverages you need to shut down the passing game using the 4-3 defense. Wisconsin contains the pass with man coverages and two types of zone coverages. Match-Up Zones have defenders trying to match up with receivers in tight coverage, reading the release of the ball rather than the quarterback. Peer Zones have defenders working to get to a designated area of the field, focusing on the quarterback and getting great breaks on the ball. Ash delivers a detailed explanation of two zone coverages. � Cover 3: A three-deep, four-under

coverage with safeties rotating to the strong side. This flexible coverage is effective against the pass and the run and is adjustable so it can be used against any personnel or formation.

� Cover 2: A two-deep, five-under

coverage with the corners rolled up on the receivers and safeties with half-field coverage. This coverage is very good against a quick passing attack and is solid against perimeter runs.

In discussing each coverage, Ash starts by showing diagrams of the basic formations versus common offensive sets (pro, slot). He details alignments and responsibilities for linemen, linebackers and the secondary and discusses situation-based rules for these positions. He wraps up the discussion of each coverage with game and scrimmage footage showing several examples of the rules in action. This DVD includes a bonus PDF that can accessed on your computer and printed for your personal use when implementing this defense. This PDF includes all of the player responsibilities and diagrams discussed and shown in the video. These concepts and coverages delivered a Top 20 defense to Wisconsin in 2010.

The Delware Wing-T passing game is designed to hit those areas covered by defenders whose immediate assignments must be to control the ground game. This DVD gives you a detailed play diagramming session reinforced with extensive game footage on the Delaware Wing-T passing game. The disc is divided into three categories: � Keep pass and sprint out - This play

action scheme will be your run/pass option. The blocking scheme looks the same as the run play, providing a bit of deception. This is an excellent scheme to get your best running back out in the flat, making it a long hand-off. Included are "called" patterns to take advantage of defensive mismatches.

� Waggle and boot-leg - Waggle passes are thrown from the 20 series, specifically from the Buck sweep fake. The patterns run deep outside, in the flat, crossing and a deep post.

� Drop back passing - Give the defense yet another look in a more traditional drop back pass. Based on run-and-shoot principles, the QB uses a half roll technique to split the field in half making for easier reads. This section also covers wide receiver screens and a quick fire pass.

Johnston diagrams plays for each category and demonstrates the different passing series that have been successful with his teams passing attack: the 20 series, 30 series, 80 series, Tags, 50 series, 70 series and 90 series. Learn the patterns and blocking schemes for every play against even and odd fronts. Discover pre-snap reads and specific things to look for to most effectively attack the defense, such as: Finding the weakest defender, hot reads, finding the MLB and adjusting patterns to beat the coverage. As a bonus, you will receive a copy of the Power Point presentation used in all of Johnston's Wing-T videos. Every offense needs a run/pass balance. These pass plays will help you stretch the defense vertically and create assignment conflicts for your opponents.

Coach Hubbard teaches the rocket sweep from a shotgun set and shows very simple, unique techniques for building an offensive series around the Gun Rocket Sweep. These techniques allow all of the complementary plays associated with an under center rocket sweep series to be used from a shotgun set. Whether you are a spread team, gun-power team, spinner series team, or hybrid wing-t team, you will see the benefits associated with utilizing the rocket sweep out of a shotgun set. This DVD includes: � Diagrams and adjustments for the

Due to the speed at which the rocket sweep hits, defenses are forced to run and rally to the perimeter to stop the sweep. When teams start to do that, they become vulnerable to the inside game and misdirection. Blair Hubbard gives you rocket sweep examples, identifies the reactions of the inside and backside defenders and shows you when it's time to attack inside and with misdirection.

Once a defense starts to lean, run, shift, and adjust to the rocket sweep, they will weaken themselves in other areas. The first area to attack when defenses attempt to chase down the rocket sweep is the off-tackle area. Coach Hubbard starts with examples of the rocket sweep and shows how the reaction of defenders makes them vulnerable to being attacked. Due to the unique backfield mechanics of the Gun Rocket Offense, you will see how traditional rocket sweep complements from under center can be applied to a gun-based offense. Hubbard breaks down three plays to attack the off-tackle area: Power, Down, and Speed Option. He details the blocking schemes against odd and even fronts and shows them to the strong and weak side. You will also learn how to adjust these plays to feature an athletic, running quarterback or insert a "wild cat" athlete and take advantage of the formation opportunities available when going empty. Utilizing a running QB allows you to spread a defense with empty formations or take advantage of what Hubbard calls bonus offensive players. The addition of Speed Option to the off-tackle attack forces defenses to play assignment football and becomes the change-up to the rocket sweep's fastball. Hubbard shows you how he makes the Speed Option a three-way play: QB power, QB sweep, or a pitch to the motion man. Hubbard includes many film examples of each off-tackle play, which makes it easier for you to break down the nuances of each play.

In order to defend the rocket sweep, defenses are forced to make adjustments to their normal defense.

PASSING GAMEPASSING GAMEPASSING GAMEPASSING GAME With Todd Hafner Every good option game needs a passing scheme to compliment it . Todd Hafner coaches you through video cut ups on how to best attack the defense with the spread option passing attack. This passing system is simple to allow you more time to develop your run game. The reads for the quarterback and blocking assignments for the line are made easy. Coach Hafner details the philosophy behind each play, as well as a position-by-position break down on footwork, reads, assignments and protections for each concept. You will see three main concepts in the William Penn passing game: � Quick Game - A great way to beat the

blitz with the passing game using a 3-step drop with quick breaking routes. The quick read allows the QB to make a throw before the defender can read the pass. Works anywhere on the field - even the red zone.

� Play Action Pass - See two options based on the Inside veer action:

inside veer drop back and inside veer sprint out. This action opens the entire field open for the receivers to stretch the field. The sprint out option gives you a quick option to pick on bailing corners or a deep attack for aggressive corners.

� Sprint Out - A true sprint out from the center gets the QB to the edge two receiver route. This scheme gives you an option if you are down late in a game or in 2-minute situations. Provides easy reads for your QB because the key reads are all on one half of the field.

If you run the flexbone option this passing game is a must to compliment the five run plays that you utilize. Coach Hafner does a wonderful job presenting this information in a manner that is easy to understand and could be installed in your offense immediately at any level.

RUN GAMERUN GAMERUN GAMERUN GAME With Anthony Pratley When most people hear the words "Spread Option" one thing that rarely comes to mind is the Run Game. In this football DVD, Anthony Pratley demonstrates how to run the triple option run game out of the Spread Option by using the Pistol formation to create an effective rushing attack. The innovator of the Pistol Spread Option Offense, Coach Pratley, draws up the zone, veer, option, midline and trap against many different fronts. Then takes it a step further--he teaches you how to run the triple option on the backside of these basic plays, showing how the blocking and reads stay the same no matter what the defense gives you. He also shows a unique way to teach and recognize what kind of option needs to be run against certain defenses. All of these plays out of the pistol spread formation, if run correctly, will be very difficult for any defense to defend. The basic rules and blocking assignments make it quick and easy to teach yet highly

effective on any given play. Pratley also takes you through game film after every chalk board session to really bring home the concept. Having a traditional option on the backside of play is like expanding your playbook three-fold, but only teaching a few basic plays.

Coach Pratley details everything from the QB footwork and reads to the route concepts and what each concept is designed to attack. The video teaches quarterbacks the correct reading progression and defensive keys and alignments to make simple, highly effective throws.

What makes this video unique is that it is a multiple passing attack simplified for all levels of competition. Not only does Coach Pratley illustrate his passing attack, but he also gives the read progression and blocking assignments for the offensive line and running backs to take advantage of the defenses weak points. He uses an animated PowerPoint, diagrams and game footage to drive home each step in implementing a successful passing game into any offensive system.

types of steps lineman need to know to execute these plays, and he teaches "help calls" to modify blocking techniques through the course of a game. Pratley provides "tag" words to make every base play into a triple option. Pratley then discusses different ways to run the play by simply changing your read player. Once the zone read triple option is covered, Pratley goes over his power blocking scheme, which has very similar rules making it easy for the offensive line to remember. And of course, all of the power plays have a triple option element built into them by using the same tag words as before. So you're really only teaching two plays, with two ways to block, yet with all the tag words and lineman calls it changes your two plays into 15+ powerful running plays. Pratley uses an animated PowerPoint, diagrams and game footage to clearly teach each step in implementing a successful triple option run game into any offensive system. Defenses will have to spend time and energy preparing for what looks like an extremely diverse offense, while for your players will find it simple to understand and execute.

� Keys & reads � Flow rules by the backs � Run gap responsibility Jackson explains each area and then takes you through game footage to illustrate these areas in a cover 3 run fit, cover 4 run fit, and cover 2 run fit. Jackson provides terminology for his run fit system that will ensure your entire defense is on the same page. PASS PROGRESSION Moving to pass progression, Jackson talks about the fill linebacker and nickel back's alignments and the zone philosophy. He stresses protecting windows in the zone coverage and knowing your drop zone. By getting into those zones, your linebackers will get the quarterback to hold the ball longer, giving your defense a big advantage. In addition, he talks of the importance of pattern recognition in regards to a split formation, smash routes, and the trips formations, giving you examples through game footage for cover 3, cover 2, and cover 4. Jackson finishes by discussing the importance of teaching the linebackers to read the quarterbacks front shoulder to determine the level of the passing attack. Level 1 is the 3-step drop or quick passing attack and level 2 is the 5-step or horizontal passing attack. He takes you through a quarterback shoulder read diagram which helps linebackers determine the front shoulder angle to see what lanes the quarterback is looking to throw the ball. That, in turn, will allow your athletes to break quicker on the ball, which can lead to finding the interception point. Using these key reads and progressions will help your linebackers learn their responsibilities, break quicker to the play and ultimately be in the best position to support your defense.

RESULTSRESULTSRESULTSRESULTS With Paul Lounsberry The shield punt system is a simple and effective way to minimize your opponents' net punt return yards. As an assistant coach under Lou Holtz at South Carolina, Paul Lounsberry's punt coverage teams faced fearsome punt returners every week in the SEC. Lounsberry needed a way to neutralize those returners' ability to break open a game with a great return. The shield punt provided exactly what he needed. The traditional punt formation has only two

gunners. Everyone else is tasked with protecting the punter until the kick is off, which means they lose time they could be using to go after the returner. The basic shield punt formation allows for much better coverage by spreading out seven gunners on the line of scrimmage with three defenders protecting the punter. The shield punt is a simple formation that results in your opponents giving you fewer looks and allows you to minimize practice time spent on punt coverage. Your athletes have limited assignments which translates into quick learning and fewer reps in practice. Lounsberry includes fakes and an innovative quick kick rugby style punt gives your punter a run/punt option. In this DVD, Lounsberry discusses the formations, assignments and variations of the shield punt. Detailed diagrams show you exactly how to set up the coverage, and game footage shows you how to execute it. Learn how to achieve better protection, better coverage and better results with the shield punt! Item no. : TZ01852214 Format : DVD Duration : 57 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 60.00

Beginning with stance fundamentals, Warinner coaches and teaches his way through: � Pass blocking fundamentals � Footwork � Hand work � Blitz protection � Slide protection � Sprint out protection � Vertical sets � And much more! Using the combat zone system, he shows why moving the defense outside and over the quarterback is essential for keeping the defense out of the quarterback's "launch zone" and creating throwing lanes underneath. Descriptions and drills showing the significance of the post foot and kick foot positions are a key instrument to ensure your linemen stay square and force the defender to the outside. Other points of emphasis in Warinner's drills include proper steps, punch placement and blow

delivery, defeating the spin move and passing off a defender in a twist move. Every drill shown can be used every week during the season, as well as in the off season to keep your quarterback on his feet and healthy. Warinner also touches on a unique weight room session that shows how the drills used during practice are also effective weight training workouts. Warinner does a fantastic job of incorporating video, on-field demonstration and the whiteboard into his presentation to give you a specific and thorough understanding of his spread passing game concepts. His drills will help you fine tune blocking assignments for the spread pass game versus different defensive fronts and blitzes you will see on the field. This pass blocking approach has been very successful for Warinner, producing some of the most effective offenses in recent college football.

BACKSBACKSBACKSBACKS With Chris Ash Limit big plays and missed tackles by improving your tackling fundamentals. Coach Ash's five-part instruction focuses on the basics of being a great tackler: Eyes on the target, coming to balance, "shimmy" the feet, holster the hands, and club and wrap up. Ash provides a detailed explanation of each of these areas and supports the teaching of these elements with drill footage. He shares over 15 drills to work on: � Open field tackling � Angle tackling � Sideline tackling � 2-on-1 tackling These drills include objectives, cue words, and coaching points to maximize the benefit to you and your team. The most important ingredient to being a great tackling team is having relentless team pursuit on every play. Great pursuit results in less space for the ball carrier to make cuts and it leads to more turnovers, as most of the balls recovered come from the player pursuing the play. Ash takes you through his team pursuit drill for the run and pass that will create good pursuit angles, will prevent long runs and help keep your opponent off the scoreboard. This drill can also be used to set up blocking when there is a return on a turnover. Tackling is an important ingredient to every defense and can be the key to winning and losing games. This DVD will give you the necessary fundamentals to teach proper tackling but also an array of drills to incorporate into your team defensive system.

� Shallow Concept - similar to Curl, but the wide receivers cross over the middle of the field.

� Dig Concept - similar to shallow, but the receivers are coming from different areas of the field

In addition, Dover runs through other basic concepts (High/low, smash, bounce and wheel) to give you more looks and keep defenses honest Game clips compliment the instruction giving you a look at the plays in action.

University of Wisconsin Tight Ends Coach Joe Rudolph shows you how to effectively use your tight ends in the passing game - especially in the shift motion game. The shift motion gives the TE the opportunity to be in a better position to execute a run block or pass route. Rudolph calls the tight end position the Captain of the Shift Motion. He shows you how to use this position to disguise formations to confuse the defense, or put your athletes in favorable personnel match-ups. A tight end who is a great run blocker will compliment the pass game perfectly. To develop effective blockers, Coach Rudolph breaks down the run blocking fundamentals and shows you three effective drills to dominate the edge. Rudolph concentrates on generating power and exploding into the defender and on body positioning. He shows you how your tight end can play the edge and move the outside pressure in to execute plays and make the offense successful. Rudolph finishes with a look at getting the ball to the tight end by utilizing different pass routes. Using game footage, he shows you crossing routes that include the mesh route, drive series, power game and vertical game. He also takes you through different dig routes, flat routes, out routes and variations and ways to get your best receivers into open spots on the field.

These are the same routes that have helped the Badgers average over 85 catches a year from the TE position over the past four years.

Mark Bliss gives you a comprehensive look at how to run this unique offense and how it can complement your offensive playbook. Bliss shows you how he adapted the Wildcat formation and plays into his single wing concept. A variation of the single wing formation, the Wildcat can be implemented into any offensive scheme. With a direct snap to the running back, the Wildcat allows you an extra blocker--versus a quarterback hand off--and puts your best players in the backfield. Using the Wildcat will make your offense harder to prepare for and defend for a several reasons: � The use of motion and elements of

the reverse � An unbalanced formation � Misdirection plays � Scout defenses will have a hard time

duplicating these plays in practice This offensive formation can be run out of a zone or gap schemes. Bliss takes you through his offensive playbook featuring instruction on: � The Single Wing - Includes both

balanced and unbalanced formation. � The Hybrid Wildcat - Featuring the

run game and play action. � The Spread - Includes the quick game,

vertical game and screens, as well as the run game.

Bliss uses power point diagrams, an animated playbook and video clips to teach his Wildcat package. Learn the three key adjustment calls to audible at the line of scrimmage. You will also get seven diagrammed run plays. In the pass game overview, Bliss takes you through two of his team's best pass plays. Your players will like the easy-to-understand concepts and plays, the carryover between the plays, and terminology and cues that are easy to remember.

BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE

DIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICA By Joel Calmettes On February 26th, 1885, at Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's official residence in Berlin, the "Berlin Conference on Africa" came to a successful conclusion. After three months of negotiations amongst the leading diplomats from all the major European powers (and the US), the "General Act of the Berlin Conference" had been agreed. And a large part of Africa's subsequent fate had been set in motion. For at a time when an estimated 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control, the purpose of the Berlin Conference had been for the Great Powers to establish rules amongst themselves for the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of Africa's resources. Including the division of territory, the drawing of maps, and the establishment of Congo -- as a personal possession of the Belgian King. Not surprisingly, no Africans had been invited to the Conference. Using actual transcripts taken down at the time, BERLIN 1885: THE DIVISION OF AFRICA combines reenactments of the Conference proceedings and previously unexplored archival materials, with the insights of historians and scholars from six nations, to discuss the politics, implications, and legacy of the first international conference about Africa. Reviews � "Cleverly using the exchanges put

down in the diplomatic archives, BERLIN 1885 never sacrifices the demand of the documentary to the virtue of fiction. The seriousness of the program comes nonetheless with a skilful direction that maintains our

attention. This a model of the genre, educational but without heaviness." -Telerama

� "A film well carried through, with a

rhythm given by the chapters and the addition of some very instructive perspectives (...) The fiction-documentary by Joel Calmettes, a moment of outstanding television, would perfectly find its place in numerous history classes in high school and college." -Le Monde

� "Undoubtedly not to compromise its

great historical rigor, BERLIN 1885… refuses to exploit the tricks of fiction." - Liberation

GUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SUR Directed by Janos Richter Guanape Sur. A barren rock island off the coast of Peru. No soil, no water. Nothing is growing here. Around its shores a restricted area has been established. The island serves hundreds of thousands of sea birds as a breeding ground. One of its peculiarities is that for a period of ten years only two men may live on it, in the eleventh year though, hundreds of men simultaneously pounce on its slopes in order to recover the bird's bequests: dried excrement, an acrid mixture of nitrogen and phosphor compounds, potassium oxide and quicklime, which blunts one's sense of smell. It can be used as a fertilizer or for producing dynamite. Its name is one of the few words the world borrowed from the language of the Incas: guano. A war has been fought over guano. And even during peacetime, harvesting it from the sharp rock is a brutal fght. Everything on the island is done by hand. Review � "A barren island off the coast of Peru

is the breeding ground for thousands of sea birds that are its sole inhabitants. Once every eleventh year, hundreds of men make their way to the island to harvest the birds' dried excrement, which is then used as valuable fertilizer. Through gorgeous cinematography and patient observation, Janos Richter offers an intriguing look at a most unlikely of jobs, in the most unlikely of places." - Sky Sitney, AFI Discovery Silver Docs

GLOBAL WARMING

HOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROGHOW TO BOIL A FROG By Jon Cooksey There's plenty of serious documentaries on the world's environmental problems. How to Boil a Frog takes a different approach, mixing fast-paced comedy with hard-hitting facts to help make complex subjects both understandable and more engaging. The accompanying study guide, done in the same style as the film, is an additional useful and unique resource. This highly entertaining film features everyman dad narrator, Jon Cooksey (a screenwriter in real life), who is a guy worried about his daughter's future. Cooksey effectively plays a dozen different characters in the film to illustrate his points, from a lab-coated scientist to a surfer. He recounts his own wake-up moment, on the subject of climate change, and his subsequent discovery that global warming is part of a bigger problem: "global overshoot" – humans putting too much demand on our limited natural world. After presenting the consequences of overshoot, Jon launches into a clever review of five major problems and how they're connected: overpopulation, the war on nature, income inequality, peak oil and finally global warming. From there, he offers a set of positive solutions that can be accomplished by individuals and families to help turn things around. Along with the comedy, the movie interweaves high quality animation and world-class experts in relevant fields (presented both briefly and humorously) to help encourage both awareness and action. Reviews � "A feisty little film which is down-home

in style, and humorous." - Vancouver Sun

� "Ambitious and insightfully

practical…I give this one high marks. (Cooksey) has tapped in to an important way to communicate tough issues to an increasingly distracted audience: make 'em laugh. He presents it all with an edgier take on the whole Bill Nye the Science Guy vibe. Only, the PG-13 version. Hey, it

GLOBALIZATION

INTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITY Directed by Michael Madsen The world's nuclear power plants have generated an estimated 300,000 tons of high-level radioactive waste that must be safely stored for 100,000 years or more. Every year, they generate another 12,000 metric tons of high-level waste. Into Eternity is the first feature documentary to explore the mind-boggling scientific and philosophical questions long-term nuclear waste storage poses. Structured as a message to future generations, the film focuses on the Onkalo waste repository now under construction in Finland, one of the first underground storage facilities. Onkalo is a gigantic network of tunnels being carved out of bedrock that will start receiving Finland's nuclear waste in 2020. Once the repository is full, in about 100 years, it will be closed and hopefully remain sealed for at least 100,000 years. Into Eternity takes viewers deep into the Onkalo facility as it is being constructed and asks Onkalo representatives, scientists, theologians and others to address fundamental but challenging questions. How can our civilization know what the world will be like in 100,000 years? The first modern homo sapiens appeared about that long ago and no human structure has survived more than 5000 years. How can we anticipate climate and geologic changes that far in the future? What will life on our planet be like then? How do we warn distant generations of the deadly waste our civilization left behind? What languages or signs will they understand? How do we prevent them from thinking they have located the pyramids of our time or some other treasures? With its stark, stylistic approach, Into Eternity not only raises questions about the possibility of long-term nuclear waste storage, but also invites reflection on the limits of science and human knowledge,

Into Eternity the most interesting documentary, and one of the most disturbing films, of the year so far… the way the movie and the people in it express their concern gives it a feeling of sublimity unusual in most environmentalist documentaries." - A.O.

� "It might seem crazy, if not criminal, to

obligate 3,000 future generations of humans to take care of our poisonous waste just so that we can continue running our electric toothbrushes.

CAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MANCAFETERIA MAN By Richard Chisolm, Sheila Kinkade, & David Grossbach The USDA estimates 32 million school kids consume up to 50% of their calories at school, contributing to the obesity epidemic among young people. What does it take to reform school lunch programs, especially in larger school districts, and provide healthful, tasty meals to our nation's kids? Cafeteria Man takes a candid look at Tony Geraci's sweeping, tenacious efforts to kick start school lunch reform in Baltimore's schools, a large urban district that serves 83,000 students. As the newly hired Food and Nutrition Director of the city's public school district, Geraci hatches an ambitious, multi-faceted plan to feed students healthy, locally-sourced meals, teach them nutritional awareness, and offer them training and vocational opportunities in the world of food. His bold vision includes a 33-acre teaching farm, school vegetable gardens, student-designed meals, and meatless Monday's. Cafeteria Man follows Geraci for two years

as he partners with a dedicated group of parents and students to overhaul a long-established, dysfunctional lunch program and battle the entrenched bureaucracy behind it. The film profiles Baltimore's experience as it becomes recognized as part a burgeoning national movement, and includes appearances by food author Michael Pollan, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Assistant White House Chef Sam Kass. Featuring the voices and images of students, parents, administrators, teachers and farmers, the film vividly documents this hopeful story, as well as honestly portraying the challenges. It makes clear that successfully transforming school lunch programs is not easy, and ultimately requires sustained efforts by a broad coalition acting on behalf of students.

For one thing, many of its forms are subtle. For another, harassment has taken recent forms which do not easily fit traditional understandings of the idea. However, the difficulty of identifying harassment doesn't excuse managers from recognizing it and responding accordingly. In fact, recent harassment lawsuits have showed that managers can be liable, even if they themselves are not the accused. Harassment for Managers: A New Look helps them carry out their legal and ethical obligation to prevent, identify and respond to harassment.

BRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESSBRANDING ILLNESS By Anne Georget A woman in the grip of pre-menstrual dysphoric disease slams grocery carts

outside a supermarket in frustration. A concerned young Japanese woman asks her husband if he has ever been happy. Peppy actors in lab coats reassure the audience that depression is like "a cold of the soul." These are scenes from some of the many pharmaceutical ads that pepper Branding Illness, an eye-opening documentary about how big drug companies create diseases and then supply the medications that can cure them. It's a reversal of the traditional approach - trying to discover a drug that cures an illness - and one that relies far more heavily on marketing than on research. The film offers case after startling case of how big pharma creates the conversation around new diseases and then offers up the solutions. Take pre-menstrual dysphoric disease. It appeared right about the time the patent on Prozac was about to expire, representing a significant loss of income. Enter PMDD. Prozac manufacturer Eli Lilly rebranded the drug, changed its colour, jacked up the price, and had a potentially profitable new medication to sell as a treatment for a disease few had ever heard of before. Featuring at times acerbic commentary from experts including physicians, historians and medical anthropologists (among them maverick academic David Healy), Branding Illness offers unprecedented insight into the ways illnesses and their potential cures are marketed. No claim seems too outrageous - whether it's convincing the Japanese they have widespread depression, urging millions of healthy adults they need medication to lower their cholesterol, or even proposing that all adults over 50 take a "poly-pill" to lower their risk of common diseases. In one particularly striking segment, a member of the Dutch Institute for Rational Use of Medicine recounts how her group pretended to represent a pharmaceutical company and created a fake awareness campaign for a drug to treat excessive flatulence. Their brochures were welcomed in doctors' offices, their posters hung in medical centres, and television news reported on the "problem" and the treatment available. The Internet is supposed to make medical information more accessible, but as the film points out, it's very hard to know who is behind the information users find. A seemingly innocuous awareness campaign could be part of an expensive PR effort. Antoine Vial of the French Health Regulatory Agency puts a campaign for ankylosing spondylitis under the microscope, and finds that what it doesn't say may be more revealing than what it does. And if it's hard for consumers to get access to objective opinions, it's no easier for independent-minded academics. Medical anthropologist Kalman Applbaum says 80% of clinical trials and 97% of the most influential clinical trials are

commercially funded. Even science has become a tool to advance the sales of drugs. Item no. : PK03100743 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 52 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 390.00

HEALTH ISSUES

OUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISONOUR DAILY POISON By Marie Monique Robin OUR DAILY POISON—a shocking documentary film that reveals a broken safety system concerned more with protecting trade secrets than human health. (In one key moment, a member of the UN agency responsible for setting acceptable daily limits of poisonous chemicals admits that the numbers are "theoretical" and have "nothing to do with the real world.") The film shows that the main cause of the epidemic is environmental: it is the result of the 100,000 chemical molecules that have invaded our environment, and primarily our food, since the end of the Second World War. The film is divided into three distinct, but interrelated sections, making it ideal for classroom use. In the first, Robin meets farmers suffering horrific health problems—such as leukemia, Parkinson's, and brain lesions—linked to pesticide poisoning, and looks into the effects those same pesticides have on people eating fruits and vegetables. Robin then moves on to the broken regulatory regime, using the artificial sweetener Aspartame as a case study. It is a cautionary tale about the revolving door between government and industry, and the influence of money on research findings. Finally, OUR DAILY POISON reveals the inadequacies of testing individual compounds in a world where everyone carries around a cocktail of synthetic chemicals absorbed from food and the environment—many of them mimicking the body's own hormones. OUR DAILY POISON is a smart, well-researched and thoroughly compelling documentary that will reshape the way you think about everyday products and the systems that are supposed to ensure their safety. It explores ways in which people can protect themselves by strengthening their immune mechanisms, through food, as demonstrated by many scientific studies (whose findings are rejected by the pharmaceutical industry).

1111----2222----2 FORECHECK, THE2 FORECHECK, THE2 FORECHECK, THE2 FORECHECK, THE With Rick Zombo A good forecheck allows your team to achieve two things that are vitally important in deciding a hockey game. It allows you to control the pace of play and gain momentum for your team. By shutting down critical areas you can create big hits that cause turnovers and create scoring chances. Rick Zombo has been part of three straight trips to the ACHA National title game. Fueling that success has been this 1-2-2 Forecheck System. Take an in-depth look at this proven system that will give your team more opportunities to gain control of the puck. This 1-2-2 system is dictated by who you want to eliminate from the puck, where you want to create a turnover and what will help you win at the end of 60 minutes. Coach Zombo begins with a review of the 1-2-2- forecheck and the strategies of the system; which boils down to the first layer works for the second and second layer for third in an attempt to maintain a wide approach for the five man containment inside the offensive zone. Zombo details these strategies layer-by-layer on a marker board while spelling out strategies, tactics and responsibilities of each position in the system. A point of emphasis throughout is the contact sequence and an understanding of angles and stick control. Also included are strategies for being an aggressive defender; what Zombo describes as "opening the gate and closing the gate" in terms of enticing opponents into what you want them to do, rather than allowing them to do what they want to do! Through a marker board discussion, Zombo presents six 1-2-2 forecheck situations. Situations vary in where you want to force the puck for a layered attack and includes strategies for continuous forechecking and forechecking off of face off losses. In each situation he details the strategies and tactics and reviews the situations that each variation fits into game play. The discussion is followed by on ice demonstrations that include Zombo teaching his players throughout each variation - offering a narrative of tips and tactics along the way. In the second part of the DVD, Zombo diagrams and executes seven forecheck-specific drills that he uses to train his players for effective forechecking. The system's variations and drills all tie in with Zombo's three important components to the forecheck: � Approach angle to cut the rink in half � Read and respond � Communication between all five

players for containment This presentation is comprehensive, practical and extremely useful for teaching,

training and mastering the 1-2-2 forechecking system! Item no. : WW01851673 Format : DVD Duration : 82 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 50.00

IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE IN A UGANDAN COFFEE

BEANBEANBEANBEAN By Curt Fissel and Ellen Friedland Narrated by Ed O'Neill In a nation once plagued by Idi Amin's reign of terror and intolerance, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Ugandan coffee farmers have come together to challenge historical prejudice and economic hurdles by forming the "Delicious Peace Coffee Cooperative." The cooperative has become a model for others, demonstrating how the interweaving of harmonious relationships with Fair Trade practices can substantially improve the lives of people who are economically challenged. In Delicious Peace, the Ugandan farmers opened their lives to the filmmakers for an intimate look at the struggles they face, the hopes they harbor, and the successes they have found. Many lives in the world revolve around the coffee bean, the second-most traded commodity in the world. But coffee farmers face many challenges, from low prices on worldwide markets, to exploitative intermediaries and government policies that make exports difficult. In 2003, a Jewish coffee farmer in a region of Uganda that has long produced some of the highest quality coffee in the world approached his Christian and Muslim neighbors and asked that they put aside their religious differences, as well as their pessimism about growing coffee, to create a new cooperative. Calling their brand "Mirembe Kawomera" ("Delicious Peace"), they partnered with an American Fair Trade buyer to bring this organic and kosher coffee to the U.S. market. Today, as a result of good wages through Fair Trade, the farmers' standard of living is improving, harmony is flourishing, and their message of peace and fair wages is spreading to their neighbors, as well as their coffee customers in the US. Reviews � "Delicious Peace is a colorful and

upbeat film that affords me an easy entry into discussion of some of the most difficult issues in social science: race, religion, inequality, and development. And it leaves students with a sense of agency and possibility–that regular people can make the world better, even in difficult circumstances. It's a gift to offer students a story of hope told with eyes wide open." - David S. Meyer, Prof. of Sociology and Political Science, University of California, Irvine

RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF RFK IN THE LAND OF

APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE APARTHEID: A RIPPLE OF OF OF OF

HOPEHOPEHOPEHOPE Directed by Larry Shore & Tami Gold Featuring never before seen archival footage, and interviews in South Africa and the United States, filmmakers Larry Shore and Tami Gold tell the little-known story of Senator Robert Kennedy's influential June 1966 visit to South Africa during the worst years of Apartheid. The film is a unique portrait of Senator Kennedy in action at an important moment in American and South African history. The filmmakers explore the visit through the sights and sounds of present day South Africa. Robert Kennedy's visit gave opponents of Apartheid -- both black and white -- hope and courage to challenge the Apartheid system at a time when they felt isolated and few in the outside world knew what was happening in South Africa. His visit also highlighted the parallels in the fight against racism in South Africa and in the United States, where Martin Luther King Jr., had linked the struggle for Civil Rights with the fight against Apartheid. RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID follows Kennedy in South Africa during the five-day visit, including his famous "Day of Affirmation" speech at the University of Cape Town on June 6, 1966. The speech is generally considered to be the greatest speech of Robert Kennedy's career. One paragraph, featuring the "ripple of hope", is among the most quoted in American politics and appears on Kennedy's gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery: "It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an

ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Another high point of the film is Kennedy's meeting with one of the unknown giants of South African and African history – the banned President of the African National Congress and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chief Albert Luthuli, who was living under house arrest in a remote rural area. The film travels with RFK to Soweto, the largest black township, where he meets thousands of people and gives voice to Chief Luthuli's call for a free South Africa The film includes interviews with those that accompanied or met with Kennedy on his trip, as well as with Edward Kennedy, and an original soundtrack by American musician Jason Moran. Robert Kennedy's actions and words in South Africa were important at the time for one other reason – he publicly challenged the dominant Cold War ideology that anti-Communism should be the only basis for determining American foreign policy, even if it meant supporting repressive regimes. Kennedy demonstrated how it was possible to promote human rights and democracy in an undemocratic society, while engaging in an honest discourse on America's own historical problems and successes. RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID tells an important story that is relevant to the ongoing struggles for democracy, justice and human rights around the world today.

SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS'

TWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHT By Vincent de Cointet & Christophe Ayad Syria: the Assads' Twilight is a history of the Assad regime, from its origins to its teetering, possibly final days in 2011. The Assads have been nothing if not survivors. In 1982, Hafez ruthlessly crushed an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood (the film shows us rare photos of property damage during the battles - the only record of an otherwise invisible massacre by security forces). In contrast, soon after coming to power in 2000, Bashar ushered in the Damascus Spring - a flowering of dissent and openness. But when it seemed to threaten his rule, he banned all opposition and tightened his family's grip on the reins of wealth and power. Syria: the Assads' Twilight, recounts the history of the regime and the region - including the tortured and troubled history of Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The film uses archival footage, as well as the testimony and analysis of members of the US and Israeli security establishment, key politicians, dissidents (among them members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood) and political scientists. What emerges is a picture of a regime that has been at the centre of Middle East politics for two generations - but is now on the verge of being swept away, along with other corrupt dictatorships in the region. As exiled dissident Abdel Hamid Atassi says, "Bashar cannot repress dissent in the Internet era... Hafez could throw people in prison for 20 years, and nobody knew about it. That's impossible today."

IMMIGRATION

AND EXILE

LEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THE By Ramona Diaz There is a shortage of teachers in American public school systems. Consequently, a significant number of urban school districts across the country have begun hiring foreign teachers. School districts across the nation have traveled the world in search of highly qualified teachers. In this search, the Philippines has emerged as a recruitment hub American-based education system, and its English-speaking population. THE LEARNING follows four Filipina teachers – Dorotea, Angel, Grace, and Rhea - during their freshman year in America. Across the school year's changing seasons, the film chronicles the sacrifices they make as they try to maintain a long-distance relationship with their children and families, and begin a new one with the mostly African-American students whose schooling is now entrusted to them. Their story is at once intensely personal, as each woman deals with the implications of her decision to come to the U.S., and fundamentally public, as they become part of the machinery of American education reform policy.

RELATIONS

INTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITYINTO ETERNITY Directed by Michael Madsen The world's nuclear power plants have generated an estimated 300,000 tons of high-level radioactive waste that must be safely stored for 100,000 years or more. Every year, they generate another 12,000 metric tons of high-level waste. Into Eternity is the first feature documentary to explore the mind-boggling scientific and philosophical questions long-term nuclear waste storage poses. Structured as a message to future generations, the film focuses on the Onkalo waste repository now under construction in Finland, one of the first underground storage facilities. Onkalo is a gigantic network of tunnels being carved out of bedrock that will start receiving Finland's nuclear waste in 2020. Once the repository is full, in about 100 years, it will be closed and hopefully remain sealed for at least 100,000 years. Into Eternity takes viewers deep into the Onkalo facility as it is being constructed and asks Onkalo representatives, scientists, theologians and others to address fundamental but challenging questions. How can our civilization know what the world will be like in 100,000 years? The first modern homo sapiens appeared about that long ago and no human structure has survived more than 5000 years. How can we anticipate climate and geologic changes that far in the future? What will life on our planet be like then? How do we warn distant generations of the deadly waste our civilization left behind? What languages or signs will they understand? How do we prevent them from thinking they have located the pyramids of our time or some other treasures? With its stark, stylistic approach, Into Eternity not only raises questions about the possibility of long-term nuclear waste storage, but also invites reflection on the limits of science and human knowledge, along with our responsibility to future generations. Reviews � "CRITICS' PICK. I am tempted to call

Into Eternity the most interesting documentary, and one of the most disturbing films, of the year so far… the way the movie and the people in it express their concern gives it a feeling of sublimity unusual in most environmentalist documentaries." - A.O. Scott, New York Times, Read Full Article Here

� "It might seem crazy, if not criminal, to

obligate 3,000 future generations of humans to take care of our poisonous waste just so that we can continue running our electric toothbrushes. But

it's already too late to wave off the nuclear age, and Mr. Madsen's film comes at a perfect time to join a worldwide conversation about what to do with its ashes." - Dennis Overbye, Science Reporter, New York Times, Read Full Article Here

MEETING IN STMEETING IN STMEETING IN STMEETING IN ST----GERVAISGERVAISGERVAISGERVAIS By Frederic Choffat & Vincent Lowy In 2009, in a small theater in Geneva, Switzerland, the film directors Marcel Ophuls and Jean-Luc Godard met for an unusual, surprisngly intimate and sometimes contentious dialogue with each other in front of a live audience. Luckily for us, it was filmed. Ophuls' film THE SORROW AND THE PITY triggers Godard to discuss his personal and fragmented childhood memories about his escape to Switzerland during World War, while Ophuls recalls the controversy surrounding the release of his film in France. The issue of the written word being taken more seriously than the moving image is brought up by Godard. Throughout their meeting, the two directors debate about national and ethnic identities, what it means to be Jewish, the role of the director, and auteur theory, which ultimately reveals why they never collaborated on a tentative film that was once discussed. MARCEL OPHULS AND JEAN-LUC GODARD: THE MEETING IN ST-GERVAIS gives us the unique opportunity to spend time with an encounter between two of the most influential and idiosyncratic post-war film directors. Godard and Ophuls are in the twilight of their years, but they remain provocative, sharp, and as uncompromising as ever.

BALL PLAYBALL PLAYBALL PLAYBALL PLAY With John Danowski Every ground ball has the potential to change the game, provide momentum for your team or deflate your opponent. Your players must develop the mentality that they will go after and fight for every ground ball. 2010 NCAA National Championship coach John Danowski teaches and demonstrates the importance of effort, technique and the three phases of ground balls. Danowski delivers a combination of non-contact skeleton drills and live contact drills that work on these concepts while also simulating game situations. All drills are broken down into individual, group and team drills. Each position participates in every drill--offensive or defensive, to help develop a high lacrosse IQ. Ground Ball Phases (important components) � Face-off (Wing Play) - Train your

players to box out and pick up the ball on their right or left side, allowing them to get inside position no matter where the ball is located. Drills include the draw play drill and the box play drill.

� Offensive End - Players must chase with two hands, move the ball off the ground, bust adjacent to the ball, and move the ball two times (make two passes to spread out the defense). All of this leads to swarming, which Coach Danowski explains and diagrams in detail. Live 2-on-1, 1-on-1 and skeleton swarming drills are demonstrated and explained on the offensive end.

� 3. Defensive End - All of your players must be alert for the ball at all times. Players must chase with two hands, give great effort, understand the 7-on-6 situation, run to daylight (run to

the open area), turn away from pressure, put themselves in a good position at least 85% of the time, and breakout. A live half-field drill actively trains these fundamentals.

Having a great plan, great effort and great technique are key to chasing ground balls. Give your team an edge in picking up ground balls by implementing these proven ideas and drills into your program. Item no. : YL01851734 Format : DVD Duration : 55 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 60.00

Jason Breyo shares his blueprint for teaching defensive skills and drills to U13 - U15 lacrosse players. Using 12 and 13-year-old athletes as demonstrators, Breyo divides the DVD into four areas: Stick work, agility (footwork), position play and transition defense. Stick Work Get eight drills for passing and catching, fielding ground balls, dodging, over-the shoulder-catching and clearing the ball. These drills will help your athletes improve their accuracy on long passes, become proficient throwing a pass with either hand, learn to use either hand on a split dodge and a roll dodge, and techniques that will benefit your clearing game. Drills are demonstrated using long sticks. Agility (Footwork) Pick up agility drills for defensive players

focusing on proper hand placement, stick position and footwork. These drills progress from a 5-yard side-to-side movement drill, to a 3-cone triangle drill working on the drop step, to a ladder agility drill that focuses on changing direction. Position Play Get a progression of 1-on-1 drills to teach your athletes key defensive concepts. Starting without sticks, Breyo's drills focus on top-side defense, forcing the attacker inside and keeping the hands in front with a poke check. The progression morphs into a 2-on-2 series that teaches the Ball-Me-Man concept. Transition Defense Learn team defense concepts with a look at transition defense from a 2-on-1 situation to a 3-on-2 fast break to train your players to defend odd number situations.

SKILLSSKILLSSKILLSSKILLS With John Danowski John Danowski lays out his strategies and approaches for teaching stick work. He starts in the classroom detailing practice strategies for stick work. Danowski believes it makes more sense to use drills that mimic game situations than traditional line drills. All of his stick work drills simulate some game situations. At Duke, Coach Danowski breaks the drills into two areas: � Non-contact skeleton drills which

emphasize fundamentals. � Live contact drills which allow the

players to see the consequences of their actions.

These drills can be individual, group or team oriented. Danowski believes that every player should have a high lacrosse IQ, therefore all positions (including the goalie) are involved in every drill; offensive and defensive. This helps each player understand exactly what is going on out on the field no matter their position. Moving to the practice field, watch and listen as Coach Danowski explains each drill used to develop his players' stick work. He begins with individual skeleton drills - passing (2-on-0, 3-on-0) on the run, offensive passing, defensive breakouts,

fast-break shooting, cutting, and full field breakouts. These non-contact drills mimic game situations while allowing players to perfect their stick skill mechanics. Coach Danowski then moves into group drills, putting the individual drills together - breakouts, 3-on-2 scrapping, 4-on-3, full field transitions, 3-on-2 scrapping with a trailer, and half-field team offense. Finally, Coach Danowski shares live full field team drills, putting all of the individual and group techniques to work. You will see how the individual drills are put into action in live game situations. Developing stick skills takes time, but using game situation drills such as these will help your players improve as individuals as well as a team. Take advantage of these time-tested drills and implement into your program to enhance your players' stick work.

LACROSSELACROSSELACROSSELACROSSE With Jim Stagnitta Jim Stagnitta's players are always fundamentally sound and in this on-field presentation he takes you through some of his favorite skill development drills. These drills are designed to use with a small number of coaches, to involve every player, and to produce a large amount of repetitions in a short amount of time. All aspects of the game are included in many of the drills and they require a game like work ethic. These drills will maximize staff and players for an efficient, fast paced and competitive practice. Fundamental Drills: � Moving Target: Works on passing

across your body (right and left handed), incorporating the C-cut, getting feet set and moving through the ball

� Over-the-shoulder (Full field): Receiving the ball over the shoulder on the run from the goalie in a game-like situation - can incorporate shooting as well.

� Line Drills: A two-ball drill that forces good communication and field awareness. Works with passing, scooping ground balls.

Concepts and Conditioning Drills � 3-on-2: Ground ball situations from

four areas (top, left side, right side and behind). Concepts involved are stick work, shooting, communication, finishing, ground balls and playing unsettled defense. Keeps everyone on the team involved and active.

� Live 3-on-2 Ground ball Drill: Forces the offensive players to handle the ball in a pressure situation - both offensively and defensively. Works on reading the situation, collecting the ground ball, finding open player and finishing quickly.

� Continuous 5-on-4 (Full field) Drill:

Works on quick clears to outlets, pace of the game, stick work, communication, all unsettled situations and reinforces your offense and defense patterns. Forces the players to play fast, move the ball quickly and make reads. Also fine tunes the communication and rotations the defense will need to make.

� Clearing Drill: A great way to use your whole team. Works on clearing patterns from an outlet, unsettled offense, transitioning from your clear to recognizing and reading an unsettled situation. Includes long passes for the defensemen, over the shoulder break outs off shots and any other aspects of the game you want to include.

� Staggered Start Drill: Transition into 6-on-6 offense as you would in a game. Defense gets in a hole first, and then has to check up. The offense can jump into an unsettled situation, but if it's not there can transition into your 6-on-6 offense.

Stagnitta demonstrates a variety of live drills that add conditioning and competitiveness to your practices. Learning how to use this plethora of drills will help your team have more efficient practices and more successful seasons!

OFFENSEOFFENSEOFFENSEOFFENSE With Jim Stagnitta As one of the winningest active coaches in the country, Jim Stagnitta's success has come from his ability to be efficient on the offensive end of the field with the 2-2-2 Offense. The 2-2-2 allows you to maximize the ability of all your players, breaking them into three separate groups to attack as a unit behind the goal, in the crease and up top. In this on-field DVD, Coach Stagnitta shows you his progression for building his 2-2-2 offense. This easy-to-follow progression works the team as three groups before bringing it all together. Warm-up Drills Learn warm-up drills that will get your entire team involved (including the goalies). These fast paced drills move up and down the field to simulate an unsettled situation. This is an excellent drill that combines a number of line drills with one full-field drill that lets you see the entire field at once. In addition, Stagnitta runs his players through a 2-man Shooting Drill. This is a two-part drill that puts players in dodge and shoot situations they will find themselves in in a 2-2-2 offense:

Part 1) works the behind the net and up top players. The focus is to work together to balance the field and shorten the pass lanes. This teaches the players to follow, throw the ball against pressure, dodge hard and understand spacing. Part 2) works with the players inside focusing on timing of cuts, spacing and finishing from the inside (sealing, quick release). Building a 2-2-2 Offense The warm up drills take Stagnitta into his 5 Drills for Building the 2-2-2 Offense. These drills help build the offensive system of play, but also work your defensive play. The drills are shown live on the field with his team as Coach Stagnitta talks you through the drills and the principles for the offense. � DRILL 1 - Live 2-on-2: Step one of

breaking down the 2-2-2. This drill takes the shooting drill to the next level - having the the high and low players work together as a unit. Focuses on keeping the offense balanced with proper spacing between the two players, setting and using three types of picks and dodging hard and quick to create a lane or a shot. This allows you to work on two spots - the high and low, as well as defense - on one side of the field.

* DRILL 2 - Live 4-on-4: (Perimeter Balance): The next step in building the 2-2-2 is putting the top and bottom players together so each group understands what the other is doing when they are attacking. This drill focuses on balancing the perimeter, spacing (opening up) and reading the dodge. Here, you incorporate slides and reads, which forces your offensive units to adjust accordingly. Also, in a 2-2-2 the passing lanes can be long, so this drill helps the offense close those lanes to make easier, safer passes. * DRILL 3 - Live 4-on-4 (Inside Crease): Here you start live crease play by adding the two midfielders to the two attackmen. Working on the two attackmen and their three pick options, the two middies focus on sealing their man and popping outside, creating opportunity for the inside (that may open up shots for the attackmen behind). The drill also works on timing, cutting and reading the lanes. � DRILL 4 - Survivor Drill: This drill

places all four corners and the inside players together to focus on inside play. This drill is great at breaking down inside play and helping the perimeter players find open teammates inside. This also teaches the inside players where to set themselves based on ball movement on the outside. Finally, it forces the inside players to handle the ball in "tough" situations, and trains them to move with a purpose, opening dodging lanes and taking away the defensive slides.

� DRILL 5 - Live 6-on-6: The final drill pulls all three two-man games together with a live defense, allowing you to rotate your team from offense and defense. This drill also helps develop the push-pull offensive concepts used to balance the field, all

in a game-like setting. The 2-2-2 Offense is not a scripted offense - a lot of things can happen depending on how the defense reacts or what happens when you first dodge. By incorporating these progressive drills through the two-man games it allows your players to read and practice many different situations so they'll be ready to execute during game time.

Timchal shares her philosophy on when to use each offense based on what the defense is running. Timchal's Motion Offense features features the crease dodger, back door cuts, isolations, drawing doubles, inside feeds and shots. She utilizes this offense against tight shell defenses. The Triangle Offense gives you good balance. It places players behind the goal, post, and along the perimeter on both sides of the cage, allowing you to attack from the left, right and behind the net. Timchal explains why it's effective against intense pressure. When an opponent is using a combination of the shell and power defenses (Blue Bird Defense), Timchal uses the Crisscross Offense. This offense can be used against all three types of defenses as it incorporates a double pick on the ball and a single pick on the ball.

MEJORMEJORMEJORMEJOR By Olivia Carrescia After 30 years of war, a difficult peace, migration, economic, social and cultural upheaval, for her new film Olivia Carrescia returns to Todos Santos, to examine the changes that have taken place. The Todos Santeros now have cell phones, TV's and large cinderblock houses, but are they better off? The civil strife of the 1980's ended in the official Peace Accord of 1996, but left many of the conflict's underlying social and economic problems unresolved. An increasing number of Todos Santos, rather than traveling as they had done for generations to the coastal cotton plantations, began traveling back and forth to the U.S.—legally or illegally. They sent back cash remittances that those who were left behind used for household necessities, and later for clothes, electronics and other items. Before long, homes similar to those the migrants saw in the United States and in the luxury resorts of Cancun, Mexico, began springing up in this traditional Mayan village. As a result, Todos Santos grew and prospered, becoming a commercial hub in the northwestern mountains of Guatemala. But the prosperity was not to last. Long term migration and the economic crisis of 2008 in the U.S. has had severe repercussions in this once small mountain village. In A BETTER LIFE we meet again Santiaga, the weaver and resourceful homemaker, Benito, the former school teacher, and Desiderio, the wise environmentalist—all familiar to those who have seen the Todos Santos trilogy of films. Along with returning migrants and newly introduced villagers, young and old, the impact of profound change and altered expectations is explored with the sensitivity, awareness and insight that have characterized this documentary series. Reviews � "Olivia Carrescia completes a trilogy

of films about life in the Mam community of Todos Santos Cuchumatan by furnishing a series of vignettes, poignant and incisive, that document a giddying process of socio-economic as well as cultural change, one that has transformed a hitherto remote corner of highland Guatemala into a globalized hub. Her

thirty-year perspective offers us a teeming microcosm of how traditional values are challenged, reconfigured, and often obliterated, yet Todos Santos endures." - W. George Lovell, Queen's University, Canada (Professor of Geography)

� "Based on Carrescia's thirty years of

contact with Todos Santos Mam, this is a hopeful rather than despairing look at how the Mayas are struggling to improve their lives - some of them with great success." - David Stoll, a Professor of Anthropology at Middlebury College

� "For over thirty years, prize-winning

filmmaker Olivia Carrescia has carefully documented the lives of Todosanteros, developing long-term relationships that are evident in her newest film. Una Vida Mejor is a sensitive portrayal of what intensifying transnational migration has produced in Todos Santos over the course of the past decade. It is a compelling and much-anticipated update that won't disappoint." - Dr. Jennifer Burrell, Department of Anthropology, University at Albany SUNY

WATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMAN By Natalia Almada Martin, the night watchman, arrives with the setting sun in his rumbling blue Chevrolet. The cemetery mascots, EI Negro y La Negra, chase his truck down the road and greet him with wagging tails. The sound of construction fades away as the daytime workers leave and Martin is left alone, looking out over the skyline of mausoleums where Mexico's most notorious drug lords lie at rest. Crosses and steel construction bars pierce the purple and pink sky. As night descends luxurious cars fill the dirt roads. Mercedes, a sexy young widow, arrives with her little girl in a pristine white Audi. A portrait of her husband, a corrupt policeman holding a machine gun, watches over them as they sweep and mop the shiny marble floors. The coconut vendor's radio blasts a gory list of the day's murders: "Culiacan has become a war zone." The buzz of cicadas fills the air with anticipation. Through Martin's vigilant eyes we watch time pass in this place where time stands still. A portrait of the daily life of the cemetery allows us to see the intersection between those who make a living there and those who rest there—innocent or guilty. A construction worker hovers over the grave plastering the inside of the cupola while a young widow lights a candle to her recently killed husband. Eventually mourning too becomes work as

the widows return day after day to tend to their husbands mausoleums, a perversely gaudy reminder of the violence that is wounding Mexico, and of the socio-economic conditions in which this violence flourishes. A worker covets the luxuries his wages will never afford him as he hangs a chandelier. The women look too young to be widows; the children play hopscotch on tombs the way others play in sandboxes and on jungle gyms. The code of silence makes conversation dangerous. The word "narco' is forbidden. The teetering scaffolding, the rotting wooden ladder, the photograph of a man who died at 23: life is precarious for everyone with business here. EL VELADOR lingers at the threshold of violence. By refusing to show the graphic images that the press feverishly disseminates Almada asks us to dwell in the moment when violence has just left its mark and when violence is imminent. Her camera enters into the intimate and ordinary routines of this world with patience, restraint and tenderness. EL VELADOR is a film about violence without violence.

GUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SURGUANAPE SUR Directed by Janos Richter Guanape Sur. A barren rock island off the coast of Peru. No soil, no water. Nothing is growing here. Around its shores a restricted area has been established. The island serves hundreds of thousands of sea birds as a breeding ground. One of its peculiarities is that for a period of ten years only two men may live on it, in the eleventh year though, hundreds of men simultaneously pounce on its slopes in order to recover the bird's bequests: dried excrement, an acrid mixture of nitrogen and phosphor compounds, potassium oxide and quicklime, which blunts one's sense of smell. It can be used as a fertilizer or for producing dynamite. Its name is one of the few words the world borrowed from the language of the Incas: guano. A war has been fought over guano. And even during peacetime, harvesting it from the sharp rock is a brutal fght. Everything on the island is done by hand.

Review � "A barren island off the coast of Peru

is the breeding ground for thousands of sea birds that are its sole inhabitants. Once every eleventh year, hundreds of men make their way to the island to harvest the birds' dried excrement, which is then used as valuable fertilizer.

IMPUNITYIMPUNITYIMPUNITYIMPUNITY By Juan Jose Lozano & Hollman Morris In 2005, Colombia's new "Commission for Peace and Justice" started gathering evidence about the horrific violence carried out by illegal paramilitary groups. A highly controversial justice and peace process was designed to allow paramilitary leaders to hand in their weapons and give themselves up voluntarily in exchange for reduced sentences. IMPUNITY documents the hearings in which paramilitary commanders, such as "HH" describe atrocities they have committed in detail, as the families of their victims listen and watch on projected screens. Through a series of commission testimonies, footage of paramilitary crimes, and interviews with victims and experts, IMPUNITY shines a light on the brutal history of paramilitary violence. Yet due to serious irregularities in the justice and peace process, many families express their fear that they will never know the truth surrounding the deaths of their loved

ones, and that the perpetrators will escape punishment. In an era where many countries are tempted to sacrifice justice in the name of "peace", what happens in Colombia will resonate beyond its borders. Review � "The Camera Justitia Award is for a

film that deals with serious crimes against humanity and the sheer impossibility of getting justice despite overwhelming evidence. It is a deeply emotional film, which bravely accuses at least two countries of collusion with impunity for the perpetrators. Starting with a heartbreaking opening scene, the film skillfully follows the chronology of those seeking truth and justice, narrowing the complex range of issues down to a specific case, overwhelming the audience with the same desperation that threatens to crush the victims and survivors. The Camera Justitia Award 2011 goes to IMPUNITY" - Movies That Matter Festival, The Netherlands

THETHETHETHE With Harry Kraemer � The four essential principles of

values-based leadership. � How to identify your core values and

what matters most to you. � Focus on doing the right thing rather

than being right all the time. After a twenty-five-year career with multi-billion-dollar Baxter International, including serving as chairman and CEO, Harry Kraemer shares, in this candid and entertaining discussion, practical advice on how to lead while staying true to your moral compass. Values-based leadership is possible for anyone to achieve, at any point in a career, by adhering to four guiding principles of behavior. The first principle, ongoing self-reflection, helps you identify your core values and goals and what you truly stand for. The second, balance, is the ability to see more than one side to a story, giving you insight into the issues and tradeoffs and how you'll make decisions. The third, true self-confidence, is accepting your strengths and weaknesses, knowing you can improve. And the fourth, genuine humility, stems from never forgetting where you came from and keeping your leadership role in perspective.

For one thing, many of its forms are subtle. For another, harassment has taken recent forms which do not easily fit traditional understandings of the idea. However, the difficulty of identifying harassment doesn't excuse managers from recognizing it and responding accordingly. In fact, recent harassment lawsuits have showed that managers can be liable, even if they themselves are not the accused. Harassment for Managers: A New Look helps them carry out their legal and ethical obligation to prevent, identify and respond to harassment. Through vivid re-enactments, the program discusses: � Quid pro quo, tangible employment

CREATES SEXIST MENCREATES SEXIST MENCREATES SEXIST MENCREATES SEXIST MEN By Thomas Keith The Bro Code, filmmaker Thomas Keith takes aim at the forces in male culture that condition boys and men to dehumanize and disrespect women. Keith breaks down a range of contemporary media forms that are saturated with sexism -- movies and music videos that glamorize misogyny; pornography that trades in the brutalization of women; comedy routines that make fun of sexual assault; and a slate of men's magazines and cable TV shows whose sole purpose is to revel in reactionary myths of American manhood. The message he uncovers in virtually every corner of our entertainment culture is clear: It's not only normal -- but cool -- for boys and men to control and humiliate women. By showing how there's nothing natural or inevitable about this mentality, and by setting it against the terrible reality of men's violence against women in the real world, The Bro Code challenges young people to step up and fight back against the idea that being a real man means disrespecting women. Featuring interviews with Michael Kimmel, Robert Jensen, Shira Tarrant, J.W. Wiley, Douglas Rushkoff, Eric Anderson, and Neal King. Reviews � "An excellent tool for classroom

discussion about male socialization and the damaging impact of media and pornography on men and the women around them." - Paul Kivel, Author, Men's Work, Boys Will Be Men, and the Young Men's Work curriculum

indictment of contemporary culture carries within it an undercurrent of optimism. Despite its horrific portrait of men behaving badly -- and dangerously -- the days of "Jersey Shore" manhood are numbered.

Yet across the media landscape, from the broadcast airwaves to cable television and Hollywood film, the reality and richness of the Latino experience is virtually nowhere to be found. In this ground-breaking new film, filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how American media portray -- and do not portray -- Latinos. Drawing on the insights of Latino scholars, community leaders, actors, directors, and producers, they uncover simultaneous patterns of gross misrepresentation and gross under-representation -- revealing a world in which Latinos appear, if at all, as murderers and Mexican bandits, harlots and hookers, gang bangers and welfare-leeching illegals. In the end, the film shows us why media representations matter, pointing to the tragic consequences that result when a narrow range of distorted images are allowed to stand in for an entire population.

In this alternately hilarious and enraging new film adaptation of her bestselling book, The Purity Myth, pioneering feminist blogger Jessica Valenti shows how this moral double standard is alive and well today

thanks to a well-funded coalition of virginity-obsessed conservatives bent on vilifying feminism and rolling back women's rights. Valenti trains her sights on what she calls the "virginity movement" -- an unholy alliance of evangelical Christians, political activists, and policy wonks who have been spreading irrational fears about women's sexuality to shape government policy, public education, and even popular culture in their own traditionalist image. And whether her focus is the exploding popularity of dad-and-daughter "purity balls," or the millions of dollars American taxpayers shell out each year for failed abstinence-only programs, Valenti's baseline target is the same: the myth that the worth of a woman depends on what she does or does not do sexually. In the end, The Purity Myth shows why commercial culture's hypersexualization of women is too serious a problem to be left to ideologues, arguing that the antidote to our pornified culture is not a set of reactionary policies that replace one form of sexism with another, but embracing women's autonomy and power.

CONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOUUUU Directed by Georgia Sugimura Archer A David & Goliath tale of one man's fight against restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on consumers' access to the internet. Robb Topolski is an unlikely crusader for free speech -- on the surface; he seems to be a mild-mannered geek with a fondness for a capella music. However, when Topolski tried to upload some rare recordings of barbershop quartets to a peer-to-peer file sharing website in 2007, he found that his broadband Internet connection slowed down to a tiny fraction of its usual speed. Topolski, who worked as a computer network engineer, ran some tests to find out what was happening and made a surprising discovery -- his internet service provider was monitoring the web use of its customers and using software to slow connections for certain activities and certain websites. Topolski took his ISP to court and has become a passionate spokesman for net neutrality, believing that ISP's have no right to interfere with what their customers are doing and should not be watching their activities on line. This case is one of the key inspirations behind the documentary BARBERSHOP PUNK, which explores how a small number of powerful corporations have the power to control the World Wide Web, and what ordinary people can do to promote the free exchange of information in cyberspace.

WAR YOU DON'T SEE, TWAR YOU DON'T SEE, TWAR YOU DON'T SEE, TWAR YOU DON'T SEE, THEHEHEHE Directed by John Pilger John Pilger's powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war. John Pilger's new film is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war. The War You Don't See traces the history of `embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan. As weapons and propaganda are ever more sophisticated, the very nature of war has developed into an `electronic battlefield'. But who is the real enemy today?

willing collusion of the journalists with the governments' ever-expanding spin empires." - Dr. John Jenks, Communication Arts and Sciences Dominican University

FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A

REVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTION Directed by Anonymous By Virginie Guibbaud & Gilles Padovani Fragments of a Revolution goes beyond the headlines and the tweets to tell the story of the protests that swept Iran in the aftermath of the disputed 2009 presidential election. Directed by an anonymous Iranian living in exile, the film brings together clandestinely sent emails, online videos and footage shot by protesters in the midst of demonstrations. Fragments of a Revolution is, of necessity, a highly unconventional documentary - one in which the director relies on anonymous correspondents within Iran and on YouTube footage. The director feels as though he or she has been living in a "virtual Tehran" for eight months - watching distressing images from the homeland and trying to reconstruct the story of what happened. This unusual process leads to a film with an astounding immediacy. We alternate between events in Tehran and the our anonymous director's attempts to make sense of them - until the two storylines converge in early 2010. As the protest movement grows, we are privy to the immediate experiences of those on the ground: women picking up rocks to hand to protesters; people secretly filming police as they beat people, smash cars and target those in windows who are looking on; marchers coming under fire from rooftop snipers. Finally, the protests die down, and the forced confessions and show trials begin. "My hopes have become ashes" says the film's director. But under those ashes, embers continue to glow. Fragments of a Revolution is not the definitive, objective record of the powerful opposition movement that swept the country. But it is a remarkable and impressionistic inside view of the movement, through the images and words of those it most closely affected. Award � LOUIS MARCORELLES PRIZE and

SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS' SYRIA: THE ASSADS'

TWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHTTWILIGHT By Vincent de Cointet & Christophe Ayad Syria: the Assads' Twilight is a history of the Assad regime, from its origins to its teetering, possibly final days in 2011. The Assads have been nothing if not survivors. In 1982, Hafez ruthlessly crushed an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood (the film shows us rare photos of property damage during the battles - the only record of an otherwise invisible massacre by security forces). In contrast, soon after coming to power in 2000, Bashar ushered in the Damascus Spring - a flowering of dissent and openness. But when it seemed to threaten his rule, he banned all opposition and tightened his family's grip on the reins of wealth and power. Syria: the Assads' Twilight, recounts the history of the regime and the region - including the tortured and troubled history of Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The film uses archival footage, as well as the testimony and analysis of members of the US and Israeli security establishment, key politicians, dissidents (among them members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood) and political scientists. What emerges is a picture of a regime that has been at the centre of Middle East politics for two generations - but is now on the verge of being swept away, along with other corrupt dictatorships in the region. As exiled dissident Abdel Hamid Atassi says, "Bashar cannot repress dissent in the Internet era... Hafez could throw people in prison for 20 years, and nobody knew about it. That's impossible today."

LEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LELEADING MORE WITH LESSSSSSSS Leading More With Less will show you how to inspire your employees to become more involved, engaged and productive. Let's face it, these days we're all being asked to do a lot more, with a lot less. Everyone's feeling the stress, and it's easy for employees to become unfocused and concerned with self-preservation. In this kind of environment, strong leadership skills have never been more important. Leading More with Less demonstrates six critical leadership skills that will inspire employees through difficult periods. These skills are universal and can be used through good-and bad-times, without spending any scarce resources. The key to understanding how these concepts work, is to see them in action. This video realistically demonstrates both "wrong way" and "right way," leadership examples-and the powerful effect they have on employees. The program is broken down into six distinct sections…with each chapter focusing on a specific technique: 1. What have you got to hide? 2. Are you well-informed? 3. Who's got the last word? 4. Deja vu all over again? 5. Who do you appreciate? 6. Who's watching you? Item no. : HA01510499 Format : DVD (With CD-ROM) Duration : 17 minutes Price : USD 795.00

WE STILL LIVE HERE: WE STILL LIVE HERE: WE STILL LIVE HERE: WE STILL LIVE HERE: AS AS AS AS

NUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEANNUTAYUNEAN Directed by Anne Makepeace Tells the amazing story of the return of the Wampanoag language, a language that was silenced for more than a century. Celebrated every Thanksgiving as the Indians who saved the Pilgrims from starvation, and then largely forgotten, the Wampanoag Tribes of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are now saying loud and clear, and in their Native tongue, "As Nutayunean," - We Still Live Here. The Wampanoag's ancestors ensured the survival of the English settlers known as the Pilgrims, and lived to regret it. Now a cultural revival is taking place. Spurred on by their celebrated linguist, Jessie Little Doe Baird, recent winner of a MacArthur `genius' award, the Wampanoag are bringing their language home. Like many Native American stories, this one begins with a vision. Years ago, Jessie began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time speaking in an incomprehensible language. These visions sent her on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in Wampanoag, lead her to a Masters in Linguistics at MIT, and result in an unprecedented feat of language reclamation by her people.

Jessie's daughter Mae is the first Native speaker of Wampanoag in a century. Reviews � "There is nothing I know of that's

anything like the Wampanoag case." - Noam Chomsky, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, MIT

� "A beautiful film about a fascinating

subject...Truly remarkable, and Makepeace captures it with gorgeous cinematography." - Provincetown Magazine

� "This a film that should be shown to

students studying languages - any of them - because it shows the power of language and the gift of learning one. I challenge you not to want to pick up a language class after seeing this film." - Missy Gluckmann, Melibee Global Education Consulting

BRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAINBRUNO MOUNTAIN Directed by Ann Dunsky The fight to save San Francisco's San Bruno Mountain speaks to the global dilemma of economic growth versus species preservation. This film deals with the global dilemma of economic growth versus species preservation. San Bruno Mountain provides a context to explore these complex questions. The mountain is San Francisco's lost landscape, a mostly intact remnant of the ecosystem that once covered the city's hills. It is the site of the nation's first Habitat Conservation Plan, a controversial compromise that trades development for additional habitat preservation and management. For fifty years, people have fought to protect San Bruno Mountain and its rare butterflies. Told with humor and insight by participants and observers alike, BUTTERFLIES & BULLDOZERS is a story about the rights of nature and the rights of people, about compromise and commitment, and the tough choices we all have to make. Reviews � "A brilliant film portrayal of

environmental politics in America." - Jeffrey K. Stine, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution

� "A compelling story that captures the

sometimes painful choices that the local conservationists have to make. Though the film is about a local issue, it is a national story told well." - Forest History Today

� "Butterflies and Bulldozers questions

the morality of compromise. Is it acceptable when a threatened species is at risk? Can a valuable species be saved if part of its habitat is destroyed? Where do you draw the line? It's very likely that this film's audience will be left contemplating these questions for a long time after the credits stop rolling." - The Wildlife Society

WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK WHITE WATER, BLACK

GOLDGOLDGOLDGOLD By David Lavallee Narrated by Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence for National Geographic Canada is the number one foreign supplier of oil to the United States, a fact little known in America. Most of the oil imported comes from the Tar Sands of Northern Alberta, the second largest known oil reserve in the world outside of Saudi Arabia. But this is not a traditional oil field. The oil must be extracted and processed from the sands at a significant environmental cost -- requiring huge quantities of a diminishing fresh water supply and large amounts of energy that contribute to global warming. White Water, Black Gold follows David Lavallee on his three-year journey across Western Canada in search of the truth about the impact of the world's thirstiest oil industry. This is a journey of jarring contrasts, from the pristine mountain ice fields that are the source of the industry's water, to the Tar Sands tailing ponds, where thousands of migrating birds have unwittingly landed and died. Both government and industry spokespeople deny any cause for concern, but in the course of his journey Lavallee, backed by university scientists, makes a number of discoveries that challenge that assessment and raise serious concerns for Canada and the United States. Native peoples living downstream are contracting unusual cancers; new science shows that water resources in an era of climate change will be increasingly scarce; the proposed upgrading of the oilfields could endanger multiple river systems across Canada that makeup about half of its water supply; and a planned oil pipeline across British Columbia brings fresh threats to rivers, salmon and the Pacific Ocean. White Water, Black Gold is a sober look at the untold costs associated with developing this major oil deposit, and raises important questions about how much environmental damage we're willing to tolerate to feed our oil appetite.

ORIENTATION

SOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCESOCIAL MEDIA: REDUCE

THE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISKTHE RISK According to a 2009 Computer World survey, 69 percent of American businesses have not developed a social media policy. Especially since social media has become as pervasive as ever, posing potential risks to an organization's bottom line. Employees' posts on social networking sites can alienate customers, tarnish an organization's reputation, disclose confidential company information, infringe privacy rights, and become evidence against an organization in court. Social Media: Reduce the Risk alerts organizations to these risks and provides relevant examples, including true-to-life stories. Explaining the need for a social media policy, it stresses how a typical Code of Conduct is inadequate to regulate online activity and how blocking websites at work is no longer enough. The program elaborates on specific issues that a formal

social media policy must address and provides a blueprint for such a policy, citing general guidelines on: � Content � Scope and application � Management and enforcement, and � Consequences of violations. The program also advises that the policy should remind employees of the blurring line between personal affairs and business-related matters, i.e. that what employees post on social networking sites can affect the organization's image. In particular, it addresses how a policy relates to the First Amendment, i.e., the right to free speech, and ends by listing safe online practices: � Respect and online etiquette � Accuracy of information, and � Transparency In a company cafeteria setting, Social Media: Reduce theRisk explores these topics by re-enacting conversations between employees. The program follows their discussions as they explain the risks of social media, debate the importance of a policy, and exchange insights and opinions.

SmartCore is about controlled mobility of the lumbar spine and pelvis to improve performance, decrease injury risk and to live better! In this presentation, Staffan Elgelid takes you through the cutting edge movements for smart core training that allows the participant to experience different movement positions of the pelvis and lumbar spine which combine to train the body and the mind better! In this first-of-its kind DVD, you'll learn how smart core training moves beyond traditional core training, which is focused on a non-moving stable core. SmartCore adds spine and pelvis movement while moving the extremities with the core in different positions. It is very important to first master basic core training before moving to the smart core training. Elgelid divides SmartCore training into four areas: � Foundation: Basic movement patterns

that explore varying spine and pelvis movements.

� Static: Core sequences with the spine and pelvis in various static positions.

� Dynamic: Core sequences with the spine and pelvis in continuous motion. This dynamic sequence is essential for athletes since the spine and pelvis are not in a fixed position during athletics.

� Agility: Prepare for game situations with dynamic sequences with the addition of non-habitual movements of the extremities.

Within each area, Elgelid demonstrates multiple movement patterns and options, moving from the basics into more complex combined movement patterns. Throughout, Elgelid offers tips on identifying an exercise that is too advanced an athlete. Whether it be a physical therapy setting, sport performance setting, or basic training for well being, the smart core will afford the participant better movement and less chance of injury!

Whether you're a person just starting out in a job/career, a mid-level manager, or a senior leader, you will not become "essential" unless you are proactive at making it happen. Using a variety of stories and examples, communication coach and consultant John A. Jenson illustrates three things a person can do to make themselves matter. Design Be so intentional and so strategic in the way you present yourself that people respond to you exactly the way you need them to. This step isn't about trying to be

something you're not; it's about solidifying who you are and "stepping it up". You should be able to summarize your personal design in one word and should lean toward stronger words like credible, decisive, compelling, engaging or or professional. The key is to ask yourself: Am I willing to make this my standard? Will I hold myself accountable to presenting myself in way that is consistent with the word(s) I've chosen?

values-based leadership. � How to identify your core values and

what matters most to you. � Focus on doing the right thing rather

than being right all the time. After a twenty-five-year career with multi-billion-dollar Baxter International, including serving as chairman and CEO, Harry Kraemer shares, in this candid and entertaining discussion, practical advice on how to lead while staying true to your moral compass. Values-based leadership is possible for anyone to achieve, at any point in a career, by adhering to four guiding principles of behavior. The first principle, ongoing self-reflection, helps you identify your core values and goals and what you truly stand for. The second, balance, is the ability to see more than one side to a story, giving you insight into the issues and tradeoffs and how you'll make decisions. The third, true self-confidence, is accepting your strengths and weaknesses, knowing you can improve. And the fourth, genuine humility, stems from never forgetting where you came from and keeping your leadership role in perspective.

This program follows a quest for answers undertaken by two filmmakers—Orly Yadin, an Israeli-born animator and archival film specialist who questions the idea of genetic alcoholism, and Eleanor Lanahan, a documentarian whose family tree suggests a different perspective (she's the granddaughter of F. Scott Fitzgerald). Their search leads them to the Vermont roots of AA's founders, the structural parallels between AA meetings and civic gatherings, temperance movements predating AA, and more. At the heart of the film, however, are segments that take viewers inside a real AA meeting. With animated faces disguising the live-action participants, these scenes offer a poignant window into the confrontation of addiction.

AN ECOLOGY OF MIND is a portrait of Gregory Bateson, celebrated anthropologist, philosopher, author, naturalist, and systems theorist. His story is lovingly told by his youngest daughter, Nora, with footage from Gregory's own films shot in the 1930s with his wife Margaret Mead in Bali and New Guinea, along with photographs, filmed lectures, and interviews. Gregory Bateson was a man who studied the interrelationships of the complex systems we live in with scientific rigor and enormous integrity. His theories, such as "the double bind" and "the pattern which connects", continue to impact the fields of anthropology, psychiatry, information science, cybernetics, urban planning, biology, and ecology, challenging people to think in new ways. Through this film, Nora Bateson sets out to show that his ideas are not just fodder for academic theory, but can help instruct a way of life. She presents his thinking using a richly personal perspective, focusing on the stories Bateson used to present his ideas and how the beauty of life itself provided the framework of his life's pursuits. Hoping to inspire its audience to see their lives within a larger system, glistening with symmetry, play, and metaphor, AN ECOLOGY OF MIND is an invitation to ask the kinds of questions that could help thread the world back together from the inside.

SEOUL TRAIN also delves into the complex geopolitics behind this growing and potentially explosive humanitarian crisis. By combining verite footage, personal stories and interviews with experts and government officials, SEOUL TRAIN depicts the flouting of international laws by major countries, the inaction and bureaucracy of the United Nations, and the heroics of activists that put themselves in harm's way to save the refugees.

REVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTION Directed by Anonymous By Virginie Guibbaud & Gilles Padovani Fragments of a Revolution goes beyond the headlines and the tweets to tell the story of the protests that swept Iran in the aftermath of the disputed 2009 presidential election. Directed by an anonymous Iranian living in exile, the film brings together clandestinely sent emails, online videos and footage shot by protesters in the midst of demonstrations. Fragments of a Revolution is, of necessity, a highly unconventional documentary - one in which the director relies on anonymous correspondents within Iran and on YouTube footage. The director feels as though he or she has been living in a "virtual Tehran" for eight months - watching distressing images from the homeland and trying to reconstruct the story of what happened. This unusual process leads to a film with an astounding immediacy. We alternate between events in Tehran and the our anonymous director's attempts to make sense of them - until the two storylines converge in early 2010. As the protest movement grows, we are privy to the immediate experiences of those on the ground: women picking up rocks to hand to protesters; people secretly filming police as they beat people, smash cars and target those in windows who are looking on; marchers coming under fire from rooftop snipers. Finally, the protests die down, and the forced confessions and show trials begin.

"My hopes have become ashes" says the film's director. But under those ashes, embers continue to glow. Fragments of a Revolution is not the definitive, objective record of the powerful opposition movement that swept the country. But it is a remarkable and impressionistic inside view of the movement, through the images and words of those it most closely affected. Award � LOUIS MARCORELLES PRIZE and

GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK! By Katia Jarjoura On January 25, 2011, the world was captivated as thousands of protesters flooded Tahrir Square in Cairo, demanding an end to the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. But the ground for the protests had been laid in the weeks and months preceding the mass outpouring of opposition. Goodbye Mubarak! takes us to Egypt during the fall of 2010, in the run-up to legislative elections. What we discover is a revolution-in-waiting already simmering under the surface of Egyptian society. Over several weeks, the documentary crew travels the country - from Cairo, to Alexandria, to the industrial city of El-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us to activists, politicians, and ordinary Egyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walks through a market at night, urging people to sign a petition calling for the end of Egypt's draconian Emergency Law and for free elections. "If this conversation is broadcast on TV, we'll all be arrested," one woman tells her. Later, a man she approaches says he hopes she makes it out of the neighborhood alive. We also meet opposition candidates in the midst of their campaigns - feminist Gameela Ismail, liberal politician Ayman Nour (who was sentenced to five years in prison after winning election in 2005) and Muslim Brotherhood members Saad El Husseini and Hamdi Hassan. They may not agree on much, but all see endemic corruption, the repressive Emergency Law and the lack of political freedom as the key elements that must change if the Arab world's largest and most influential country is to move forward. And while young, web-savvy activists get much of the credit for the demonstrations, Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deep opposition to the regime ran in the months leading up to the revolution. "We only have corrupt and old leaders with nothing to offer" says one angry pensioner. Another

KAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRKAPITALISM: OUR SECRET ET ET ET

RECIPERECIPERECIPERECIPE By Alexandru Solomon When George Becali's limousine was stolen in 2009, he didn't call the police. Instead, Becali - one of the wealthiest men in Romania - turned to his personal bodyguards. They tracked down the alleged thieves, then captured and tortured them. Becali was imprisoned briefly. Soon after his release, he was elected to the European Parliament. Few stories better illustrate contemporary Romanian economic and political realities: the fluid line between private wealth and political power, and the egos of wealthy men who see their own actions as above the law. Becali is one of the rich and powerful Romanian magnates who have dominated the post-Communist Romanian economy, and to whom filmmaker Alexandru Solomon introduces us in his startling documentary Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe. With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescu regime the future seemed bright. Freed from its tyranny, Romanians looked forward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial age marked by freedom and a higher standard of living. Twenty years later, Romania has the smallest GDP of all former Communist countries, with a third of the economy controlled by a small group of millionaires. Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure has stagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th in the world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipe seeks to understand how this came to pass - how public assets enriched very few, to the detriment of the country. Rather than trying to understand the elite from a distance, Solomon sits down with them and asks them pointed questions. And they are surprisingly forthcoming in their responses. Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-President of the Romanian Senate, who leveraged a job with a state-controlled export company into a net worth in the billions. Speaking in his palatial home, under an oil painting of himself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: a small group of people were in a position to

get rich, and they did. Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought a state-owned oil refinery valued at 615 million Euros for only 50 million Euros - then sold it a few years later for two billion. By its very nature, capitalism in a transitional period is "immoral" he says. Intermingled with the interviews, are whimsical but effective animated sequences that use clay, LEGO and Playmobil to visually highlight key points and clearly demonstrate labyrinthine transactions. In addition to its personal interviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalism also depicts them at a distance, on television screens overlooking Bucharest, for instance. Here, they are remote, unapproachable - as most Romanians would experience them. Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests is that not much has changed over the last 20 years. The film imagines Ceausescu returning from the dead to tour the country now, and finding much to like. "You have maintained the three pillars of the Communist Party," this imaginary Ceausescu tells a group of assembled magnates. "Prejudice. Corruption. Relationships."

MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER MR. CO2: LIFE AFTER

KYOTOKYOTOKYOTOKYOTO Directed by Yves Billy He has expanded through the very air we breathe. He's galvanized activists around the globe to fight him, and stymied the world's political leaders. Meet Mr. CO2: carbon dioxide, the primary cause of climate change. This documentary may use whimsical animation to personify carbon dioxide emissions, but its message is dead-serious: if we fail to cut the rate of CO2 spewing into the atmosphere, we face a bleak future. MR. CO2 opens in Copenhagen, where the world's political leaders gather in December 2009 to try and hammer out a new carbon treaty to replace the Kyoto Accord. Joining them are activists and climate scientists, on-hand to press for action. They include Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chair of the International Panel on Climate Change, and Bill McKibben, founder of a movement aimed at lowering atmospheric carbon, who says at the conference, "we are past the red line, the real debate is between human beings on the one hand, and physics and chemistry on the other." Traveling from the Copenhagen negotiations to China, Australia, and the United States, MR. CO2 explores the scope of the challenge. In China we meet Ren Runhu, director of the Lu'An Mine,

which producers 55 million metric tones of coal a year. Even though 5,000 miners die in China's coal mines yearly, the industry is flourishing. In his gleaming office—a far cry from the working conditions of the black-faced miners—he explains that coal is just too important to Chinese industry. As Ma Jun, founder of China's Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, points out, if you need more energy, a new coal plant is the cheapest and simpleest short-term solution. Meanwhile, the world's richest people—North Americans and Europeans—continue to be responsible for staggeringly high per capita emissions. While the developing world—which faces the most devastation from climate change—presses for a deal, China and the United States thwart efforts that might impinge on their sovereignty. And little wonder: the U.S.'s rise to global economic dominance was built through burning fossil fuels, and China hopes to raise 150 million people out of poverty the same way. Neither has much short-term interest in limiting emissions—and neither do countries like Australia, which export huge amounts of coal to fuel China's energy-hungry industries and power plants. Featuring climate scientists, activists, coal producers and high-stakes negotiators, MR. CO2 makes clear that there will be no easy answers when it comes to solving the climate crisis. Clean coal is more propaganda than reality, and carbon sequestration and storage carry their own environmental risks. It seems that—in the short-term at least—Mr. CO2 will continue to have a bright future indeed. Item no. : FH03210812 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 52 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 298.00

FROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UP Directed by Beth Gage & George Gage Five 9/11 widows of New York firefighters pay tribute to their husbands by accomplishing extraordinary feats in their communities, turning evil into good. FROM THE GROUND UP follows the widows of five New York firefighters ten years after 9/11.

FORMATIONFORMATIONFORMATIONFORMATION With Butch Lauffer Butch Lauffer teaches the dynamic and adaptable 4-1-4-1 formation using a whole-part-whole teaching method. By incorporating the 4-1-4-1, you will gain more flexibility of the shape. The 4-1-4-1 also allows you to play with a holding midfielder, which gives your midfield players more freedom to play between the lines. Before each on-field demonstration Lauffer gives an in-depth, computer animated explanation illustrating the tactics, soccer principles and key coaching points that should be employed with the 4-1-4-1. Coach Lauffer begins by distinguishing between the roles and responsibilities of the two most important positions in this formation: the holding midfielder and the striker. The holding midfielder acts as a windshield wiper that runs back and forth applying defensive pressure in front of the defensive line by shielding and intercepting passes. The lone striker needs to be strong and mobile and be able to hold the ball until supporting players

build an attack from the midfield and fullback positions. Defensively, Lauffer illustrates the 4-1-4-1's flexibility in matching up against the most common formations, the 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 3-5-2. He follows with an on-field demonstration against a 4-4-2 with athletes. Lauffer implements the 4-1-4-1 with three drills that focus on the movements and responsibilities of the back line, midfield line and strikers. He ends the defensive segment by covering defensive tactics and responsibilities for the team as a whole. Offensively, Lauffer illustrates how simple it is for the 4-1-4-1 to be adjusted to a 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 depending on game situations. Along with its adaptability, another attacking advantage of the 4-1-4-1 is the space it creates for supporting players to make deep, penetrating runs between and behind the defense. Additionally, Lauffer presents a drill he uses for the central players to increase their vision and awareness in order to better utilize the up-back-through passing pattern and movement off of the ball. Finally, he brings it back to the whole picture again and identifies ideal scenarios that should be developed in a game, like creating 2v1 opportunities in wide areas with overlapping runs and attacking from deep positions.

In this instructional soccer DVD, George Kuntz explains what every good practice needs and gives you some ideas on how to plan your practices based on the unique qualities of your team: age, tactical ability, experience, etc. PRACTICE PLANNING Coach Kuntz stresses how important it is to take out what isn't working, fix it through practice, and put it back in and analyze the results. He explains how practices should

be balanced between immediate needs versus both seasonal and future development needs. You will learn Kuntz's four pillars of successful soccer and a simple, systematic tool for analyzing and improving the pillars. Kuntz shares a process for how to take your goals and break them down to activities that take place during practice. Learn tips for: � Measuring improvement � Keeping your team in a competitive

mode during practice � How to organize an actual training

session � How to vary exercises based on your

players' abilities and other variables Keep your training sessions focused this season and learn how to effectively practice to meet your goals and your team's biggest needs. WARM-UP Warm-ups are a key part of practice. They get players ready for practice, but also need to reflect elements and scenarios of the game while maintaining a player's interest in the practice. Kuntz presents a number of activities to accomplish these goals: � Dynamic Warm-ups - Moving

stretches to loosen up players and prevent injuries.

� Warm-up Touches - Use window drills with light dribbling, juggling, and short passing to prepare for more demanding drills. This trains players to see the game as it develops, find windows to see the field, read the situation and adapt. Also improves timing, balance and agility.

� Passing Exercises - Incorporate triangle passing, open-field passing and variations of each to get your players to move off the ball and constantly looking for support (similar to a game). These exercises will help improve first touch, mobility and passing over increasing distances.

� Third Man Run & Shoot - This warm-up exercise will strengthens your players' technical skills and will get your players passing to space, running toward the goal and getting shots on goal.

In practice you can go through the motions or you can grow as a player. Playing the game is the best teacher. Set up practices with games that teach success and put your team in a competitive mode so they are encouraged and motivated to always do better. Get your players excited about the day's practice by providing fun and creative avenues to work toward achieving your team's goals.

FOR SOCCERFOR SOCCERFOR SOCCERFOR SOCCER With George Kuntz George Kuntz delivers a number of attacking options for your games and a variety of training sessions for your practices. Kuntz coaches his players through his best small field drills and game variations. Using a small field creates as many goal-scoring opportunities as possible, more decisions in tight spaces, more touches on the ball, and ensures that every opportunity is dangerous to the defending team. Drills include: � 1v1 Transition Shooting Exercise -

teaches attackers how to use time and space to create early shooting opportunities. This is a fast paced drill that maximizes the number of shots per player. This exercise also allows for immediate reaction in transition for the shooting player and forces immediate decisions.

� 2v1 Finishing Exercise - forces the attackers to read the defender and create problems for the defender by bending runs or making overlapping runs while remaining in an onside position. The attackers in this exercise must focus on receiving a pass and making a one or two touch finish on goal.

� 3v2 Continuous Exercise - focuses on movement off of the ball, finding the extra player, deciding to go to goal or to pass, and taking the earliest available shot.

� 3v2 to 2v1 Carry-over Exercise - Principles from the previous training still apply, but in this exercise the focus is on the transition from a defending state of mind to an attacking state of mind and vice versa.

In the small scrimmage games section of this video, the offense is provided a numbers advantage so that they can create extra options by utilizing neutral players and players in the wing positions. For the final variation, Kuntz evens the number of players on each team and challenges the players to create numbers up situations on their own. Kuntz looks for players to be creative, maintain an attacking and defending shape, make runs off the ball and shoot high percentage shots on goal with the proper shooting principles established over the course of the video. Throughout the video, Kuntz encourages the athletes to take as many shots on target as possible. He breaks down proper shooting technique and explains how technique directly relates to shots on target. Kuntz also distinguishes between placement of a shot vs. the power of a shot and identifies when to use one over the other.

This DVD will provide you're the team the chance to get as many shots on goal as possible in a short amount of time. Item no. : WS01852194 Format : DVD Duration : 44 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 50.00

George Kuntz shows you how to improve your team's individual skills and group defending tactics using small group training. He begins by walking his athletes through proper body positioning for defending an attacker on the ball. He shows you how to apply pressure without the risk of getting beat and how to dictate your opponent's movement. This DVD includes four basic small group exercises: � Defensive Mechanics & Techniques -

This progression will help program your players to keep their knees bent, eyes up, and read the attacker from the waist down. The exercise progresses to tackling and using your body properly to keep the opponent off of the ball.

� 1v1 Defending Progression - Emphasizes the proper defensive stance and tackling technique. As attackers progress to shooting on a target, the defender's positioning becomes even more crucial.

� 2v2 Defending Progression - Works on directing the attacker to the supporting defender for help with containment. During this exercise, Kuntz identifies the importance of communication between defenders as it relates to defensive coverage movements.

� 4v4 Support Exercise - Focuses on defensive vision, shifting, organizing and switching with supporting defenders that mimics the demands of a full size game.

As each exercise increases in difficulty, Kuntz adds objectives to each exercise for the offense and defense in order to increase confidence, effort and enjoyment for the players.

MAN UP AND MAN DOWN MAN UP AND MAN DOWN MAN UP AND MAN DOWN MAN UP AND MAN DOWN

SITUATIONSSITUATIONSSITUATIONSSITUATIONS With Butch Lauffer Be prepared for any game situation this season. In this instructional soccer DVD, Butch Lauffer provides coaching points for implementing structure and tactics according to four man up / man down game-changing situations. Coach Lauffer uses on-field demonstration and detailed computer animations to illustrate the tactics, formations and soccer principles that need to be employed relative to these game situations. The situations Lauffer discusses are: � Winning with a Man Down - Lauffer

covers two formations, a 4-4-1 and a 4-3-2 to help you protect the lead. The 4-3-2 adds a striker to put pressure on back players and help defend further up the field. You will learn how to get the ball into opposing field as quickly as possible and use the width and depth of the field to create space and to spread the defense while making the opposition chase the ball.

� Losing with a Man Down - Lauffer's

goal here is to counter attack and get the ball into the penalty area as often as possible to create the best goal scoring opportunities. He suggests using the 4-1-3-1 formation for its centralized positioning and defensive numbers that also translate, offensively, into breaking out into counter attacks with penetrating runs from deep positions.

� Winning with a Man Up - In this situation, defining the enemy late in the game is key for your team to be successful - late in the game the enemy is the clock, not the other team. Lauffer breaks down the 4-4-2, which will allow you to get the ball in the opponent's half of the field and circulate the ball from side-to-side; forcing the opposition to chase the ball and kill time off the clock.

� Losing with a Man Up - In this situation, instinctively the winning team will sit deeper in their area and invite you to possess the ball in their half. Lauffer likes to employ a 3-4-3 to get extra players in certain parts of the field to create tactical advantages on the wings that can produce crosses into the penalty area and create 2v1 situations. He also discusses the importance of pressing in this situation, providing tips on where, when and with how many players to press.

As you see all of these tactics played (and more) in action as athletes demonstrate them on the field. It is not a case of if these situations arise, it's when. Using Lauffer's instruction your squad will be bettered prepared to face these situations when they arise, which will allow your team to successfully handle each. Throughout his instruction, Lauffer explains how, where and when to pressure the ball on defense and how to possess the ball on offense, depending on the scenario. He emphasizes the importance of keeping formation, playing wide, drawing free kicks, creating 1 v 1 and 2 v 1 opportunities, and more.

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN CAVE OF FORGOTTEN CAVE OF FORGOTTEN CAVE OF FORGOTTEN

DREAMSDREAMSDREAMSDREAMS Director: Werner Herzog Following his previous documentary Encounters at the End of the World, iconic director Werner Herzog once again takes us deep behind the frontier of an extraordinary place. Having gained unprecedented access through the tightest of restrictions and overcome considerable technical challenges, he has captured on film, with specially designed 3D cameras, the interior of the Chauvet Cave in southern France. This is where the world's oldest cave paintings – hundreds in number - were discovered in 1994. In the mesmerising Cave of Forgotten Dreams, he reveals to us a breathtaking subterranean world and leads us to the 32,000-year-old artworks. In that deeply moving moment of encounter, we come face to face with pristine and astonishingly realistic drawings of horses, cattle and lions, which for the briefest second come alive in the torchlight. In true Herzogian fashion, his hypnotically engaging narration weaves in wider metaphysical contemplations as we learn more about the Paleolithic art and its creators. Through his understated and gently humorous voiceover, we are invited to reflect on our primal desire to communicate and represent the world around us, evolution and our place within it, and ultimately what it means to be human.

FILM UNFINISHED, AFILM UNFINISHED, AFILM UNFINISHED, AFILM UNFINISHED, A Director: Yael Hersonski At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labelled simply "Ghetto," this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings of the footage. A FILM UNFINISHED presents the raw footage in its entirety, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing "the good life" enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, and probes deep into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film.

LANDLANDLANDLAND Director: Julian Pinder 2006. Nicaragua is the new land of opportunity. Newspapers and magazines hail it as The New Cancun, The Next Florida. Fred, Sean and Keith, three naive Americans wide-eyed at the prospect of finally making it big, set up shop and start constructing resorts for your next discount tropical vacation. But what these inexperienced developers don't know is that the seemingly inexhaustible cheap manual labour is about to run out. The natives are restless and starting to see through this new form of imperialism. Keith in particular is targeted in a violent kidnapping. Known to the locals as "Grief", Keith apparently stole the town's one and only baseball diamond to build a parking lot for his resort. So when former revolutionary leader Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas sweep back to power, legitimately or otherwise, not one of our gringos is left unscathed. Dreams of planeloads of vacationers and pool-side margaritas give way to death threats and armed assaults. In the end, Sean's words ring prophetic – it's the Wild West alright,

only this time the natives are clobbering the cowboys…for now. Reviews � "CAPTIVATING, INTIMATE AND

WATER ON THE TABLEWATER ON THE TABLEWATER ON THE TABLEWATER ON THE TABLE Director: Liz Marshall Water on the Table is a character-driven, social-issue documentary by Liz Marshall that explores Canada's relationship to its freshwater, arguably its most precious natural resource. The film asks the question: is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air? Water on the Table features Maude Barlow, who is considered an "international water-warrior" for her crusade to have water declared a human right. "Water must be declared a public trust and a human right that belongs to the people, the ecosystem and the future, and preserved for all time and practice in law. Clean water must be delivered as a public service, not a profitable commodity." The film intimately captures the public face of Maude Barlow as well as the unscripted woman behind the scenes. The camera shadows her life on the road in Canada and the United States over the course of a year as she leads an unrelenting schedule. From 2008 - 2009 Barlow served as the U.N. Senior Advisor on Water to Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, President of the 63rd Session of the United Nations. Water on the Table is more than a portrait of an activist, it is a poetic-essay that presents several dramatic and artfully crafted debates. Barlow's opponents are giants in the world of policy and economics, they argue that water is no different than any other resource, and that the best way to protect freshwater is to privatize it. It is proposed that Canada bulk-export its water to the United States, imminently. Haiku-style images by cinematographer Steve Cosens linger on watersheds, wetlands, rivers, estuaries, waterfalls and lakes; bridging themes and questions and elevating water beyond the political framework explored.

Traveling to Cairo, Istanbul, and Oslo, Lorentzen has tea with Egyptian feminist Nawal El Saadawi, finds inspiration in the life of 90-year-old author Gamal Al-Banna, conducts an eye-opening interview with a fundamentalist cleric, and searches out her grandmother's Sufi-influenced spiritual path, which steered clear of extremism and male dominance.

FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A FRAGMENTS OF A

REVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTION Directed by Anonymous By Virginie Guibbaud & Gilles Padovani Fragments of a Revolution goes beyond the headlines and the tweets to tell the story of the protests that swept Iran in the aftermath of the disputed 2009 presidential election. Directed by an anonymous Iranian living in exile, the film brings together clandestinely sent emails, online videos and footage shot by protesters in the midst of demonstrations. Fragments of a Revolution is, of necessity, a highly unconventional documentary - one in which the director relies on anonymous correspondents within Iran and on YouTube footage. The director feels as though he or she has been living in a "virtual Tehran" for eight months - watching distressing images from the homeland and trying to reconstruct the story of what happened. This unusual process leads to a film with an astounding immediacy. We alternate between events in Tehran and the our

anonymous director's attempts to make sense of them - until the two storylines converge in early 2010. As the protest movement grows, we are privy to the immediate experiences of those on the ground: women picking up rocks to hand to protesters; people secretly filming police as they beat people, smash cars and target those in windows who are looking on; marchers coming under fire from rooftop snipers. Finally, the protests die down, and the forced confessions and show trials begin. "My hopes have become ashes" says the film's director. But under those ashes, embers continue to glow. Fragments of a Revolution is not the definitive, objective record of the powerful opposition movement that swept the country. But it is a remarkable and impressionistic inside view of the movement, through the images and words of those it most closely affected. Award � LOUIS MARCORELLES PRIZE and

GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK!GOODBYE MUBARAK! By Katia Jarjoura On January 25, 2011, the world was captivated as thousands of protesters flooded Tahrir Square in Cairo, demanding an end to the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. But the ground for the protests had been laid in the weeks and months preceding the mass outpouring of opposition. Goodbye Mubarak! takes us to Egypt during the fall of 2010, in the run-up to legislative elections. What we discover is a revolution-in-waiting already simmering under the surface of Egyptian society. Over several weeks, the documentary crew travels the country - from Cairo, to Alexandria, to the industrial city of El-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us to activists, politicians, and ordinary Egyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walks through a market at night, urging people to sign a petition calling for the end of Egypt's draconian Emergency Law and for free elections. "If this conversation is broadcast on TV, we'll all be arrested," one woman tells her. Later, a man she approaches says he hopes she makes it out of the neighborhood alive. We also meet opposition candidates in the midst of their campaigns - feminist Gameela Ismail, liberal politician Ayman Nour (who was sentenced to five years in prison after winning election in 2005) and Muslim Brotherhood members Saad El

Husseini and Hamdi Hassan. They may not agree on much, but all see endemic corruption, the repressive Emergency Law and the lack of political freedom as the key elements that must change if the Arab world's largest and most influential country is to move forward. And while young, web-savvy activists get much of the credit for the demonstrations, Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deep opposition to the regime ran in the months leading up to the revolution. "We only have corrupt and old leaders with nothing to offer" says one angry pensioner. Another adds that "The solution is in the hands of our 12 million jobless kids. They need to go out, demonstrate, and overthrow the regime." Within weeks, Mubarak's opponents - led by many of those we meet in this film - would be doing just that. Goodbye Mubarak! Is an invaluable portrait of a crucial moment in Egyptian society. Item no. : DK03400807 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 72 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 348.00

EL SICARIO, ROOM 164EL SICARIO, ROOM 164EL SICARIO, ROOM 164EL SICARIO, ROOM 164 By Gianfranco Rosi & Charles Bowden Directed & photographed by Gianfranco Rosi The term sicario goes back to Roman Palestine, where a Jewish sect, the Sicarii, used concealed daggers (sicae) in their murders of Romans and their supporters. In modern language, a sicario is a professional killer or a hit man. In an anonymous motel room on the U.S./Mexico border, a Ciudad Juarez hitman speaks. He has killed hundreds of people and is an expert in torture and kidnapping. He was simultaneously on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartels and a commander of the Chihuahua State Police. There is currently a $250,000 contract on his life and he lives as a fugitive, though he has never been charged with a crime in any country. With his face obscured by a black mesh hood, he tells his story to the camera inside the very motel room he once used to hold and torture kidnapped victims. Aided only by a magic marker and notepad, which he uses to illustrate and diagram his words, the sicario describes, in astounding detail, his life of crime, murder, abduction and torture. Review � "A minimalist study in maximum

violence, Gianfranco Rosi's El Sicario Room 164 offers viewers the rare chance to meet a Mexican narco hitman and to live to tell the tale." - Variety

EL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHEL VELADOR: THE NIGHT T T T

WATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMANWATCHMAN By Natalia Almada Martin, the night watchman, arrives with the setting sun in his rumbling blue Chevrolet. The cemetery mascots, EI Negro y La Negra, chase his truck down the road and greet him with wagging tails. The sound of construction fades away as the daytime workers leave and Martin is left alone, looking out over the skyline of mausoleums where Mexico's most notorious drug lords lie at rest. Crosses and steel construction bars pierce the purple and pink sky. As night descends luxurious cars fill the dirt roads. Mercedes, a sexy young widow, arrives with her little girl in a pristine white Audi. A portrait of her husband, a corrupt policeman holding a machine gun, watches over them as they sweep and mop the shiny marble floors. The coconut vendor's radio blasts a gory list of the day's murders: "Culiacan has become a war zone." The buzz of cicadas fills the air with anticipation. Through Martin's vigilant eyes we watch time pass in this place where time stands still. A portrait of the daily life of the cemetery allows us to see the intersection between those who make a living there and those who rest there—innocent or guilty. A construction worker hovers over the grave plastering the inside of the cupola while a young widow lights a candle to her recently killed husband. Eventually mourning too becomes work as the widows return day after day to tend to their husbands mausoleums, a perversely gaudy reminder of the violence that is wounding Mexico, and of the socio-economic conditions in which this violence flourishes. A worker covets the luxuries his wages will never afford him as he hangs a chandelier. The women look too young to be widows; the children play hopscotch on tombs the way others play in sandboxes and on jungle gyms. The code of silence makes conversation dangerous. The word "narco' is forbidden. The teetering scaffolding, the rotting wooden ladder, the photograph of a man who died at 23: life is precarious for everyone with business here. EL VELADOR lingers at the threshold of violence. By refusing to show the graphic images that the press feverishly disseminates Almada asks us to dwell in the moment when violence has just left its mark and when violence is imminent. Her camera enters into the intimate and ordinary routines of this world with patience, restraint and tenderness. EL VELADOR is a film about violence without violence. Reviews � "EL VELADOR is an unsettlingly quiet,

even lyrical film about a world made and unmade by violence." - A. O.

Scott, The New York Times � "Mesmerizing!" - Time Out � "An exquisite study of a rapidly

expanding cemetery." - Variety Item no. : AT03100805 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 72 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00

FROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UPFROM THE GROUND UP Directed by Beth Gage & George Gage Five 9/11 widows of New York firefighters pay tribute to their husbands by accomplishing extraordinary feats in their communities, turning evil into good. FROM THE GROUND UP follows the widows of five New York firefighters ten years after 9/11. It's their journey, two steps forward and one step back, through tears, depression, and laughter to triumph over tragedy. It's five women finding strength to forge through madness and comfort their children while the world watches. FROM THE GROUND UP is a personal and emotional account of how 9/11 permeates the lives of these women. We see how this tragedy has strengthened them, forcing them to dig deeper to give new meaning to their lives, empower their families and make a difference in their communities. Turning evil into good, they lift our spirits and honor their heroic husbands in the most fitting ways they can imagine from building a library, starting several foundations and instituting the hugely succesful Tunnel to Towers run.

observant film." - Dr. Paul A. Kurzman, Professor of Social Work, Hunter College

coping and resilience. The sense of social support among the families is a great example of preserving their loved ones' legacy. Let's hope that their brave act is contagious." - Ali. M. Gheith, Director, Emergency and Disaster Management Program, Metropolitan College of New York

LEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THELEARNING, THE By Ramona Diaz There is a shortage of teachers in American public school systems. Consequently, a significant number of urban school districts across the country have begun hiring foreign teachers. School districts across the nation have traveled the world in search of highly qualified teachers. In this search, the Philippines has emerged as a recruitment hub American-based education system, and its English-speaking population. THE LEARNING follows four Filipina teachers – Dorotea, Angel, Grace, and Rhea - during their freshman year in America. Across the school year's changing seasons, the film chronicles the sacrifices they make as they try to maintain a long-distance relationship with their children and families, and begin a new one with the mostly African-American students whose schooling is now entrusted to them. Their story is at once intensely personal, as each woman deals with the implications of her decision to come to the U.S., and fundamentally public, as they become part of the machinery of American education reform policy. Reviews � "Few real-life narratives can be more

involving or inspiring than a teacher's impact on students. …Packed to the gills with human interest." - Variety

� "…illuminating, absorbing

documentary…Diaz's heroines become the unforgettable faces of a story all the more shocking for being so little-known." - The Washington Post

� "The Learning' is like no other

Hitting Drills Coach Pepin starts with the swing basics, providing a quick demonstration of the swing mechanics she teaches. She then moves to a four-drill series that you can use everyday to reinforce the fundamentals of stance, grip, load & attack, the heel plant, hips and the swing. Pepin next leads her players through a series of tee drills to attack inside pitches: � One Arm Drills - Teach your players to

hit line drives, develop quick hands, keep their hands inside the ball and make contact out front on inside pitches.

� Double Tee Drill - Train your players to drive the ball by "staying long" through the ball.

� Weighted Bat Drill - Helps get the bat head out front and increases bat speed.

Pepin includes front toss drills that work on bat speed, timing and rhythm to develop a fluid swing to drive the ball up the middle. Throughout the drills Pepin coaches her athletes and provides key points for producing a quality swing. Hitting Mentality Step into the box ready to hit! Pepin shares how she breaks down the mental side of hitting by going through a checklist each batter should know to better understand what pitch they are hitting. The list includes: Breaking down the four quadrants of the plate, having a plan of attack, showing confidence while in the batter's box, seeing the defense and what they are giving you and more. Live Hitting Challenge Pepin finishes with a game-like, live hitting simulation where the players are presented with situational challenges while in the batting cage. Sacrifice bunts, slap hitting and 2-strike hitting techniques are all demonstrated. These drills and concepts will help give your hitters an attacking mindset and a quality at bat every time they step up to the plate.

INDOOR TEAM PRACTICEINDOOR TEAM PRACTICEINDOOR TEAM PRACTICEINDOOR TEAM PRACTICE With Diana Pepin Diana Pepin and her staff let the camera roll during this live, indoor practice. This entire practice takes place inside their campus gymnasium and includes the team drills you need to keep your players occupied and focused on the fundamentals when working indoors. Dynamic Stretching The Warriors' dynamic stretching program readies the muscles for the explosive movements of a softball practice. The warm-up ends with form running and acceleration drills. Baserunning See how to train your base runners to read the ball (or the pitcher) on tag-ups, running on contact and on a straight steal - all with a conditioning element attached to it. Swing Mechanics These team hitting drills train the basic fundamentals of the swing. Areas of concentration include stance, the heel plant, hips, staying long through the swing and head position. Ground Ball Work Pepin breaks her team into three groups to simultaneously work on their defensive fundamentals. The infielders work on short hops, tosses, and tags while the outfielders work on playing through a fly ball and drop steps. The catchers are working on framing pitches, blocking the ball and coming out of a stance to scoop the ball and throw to a bag. Throwing Series The throwing series has the entire team working on long, lofted throws to work on stretching their arms and developing good rotation on the ball. The program also works on receiving the ball. The players must catch the ball simulating a force play, tag play or cut-off position to work on their footwork. Additional drills work on quick glove-to-throw exchanges, throwing on the run and rundown throws. Infield & Outfield Drills These high rep infield drills focus on fielding ground balls, throwing to bases, turning double plays, and executing bunt defense. The outfield drills consist of catching on the run, working on drop steps, fielding ground balls and fly balls, and a good conditioning drill called the flying falcon. Team Defense Coach Pepin then takes the team defense through a series of game situations using live runners with a coach hitting or bunting. Practice concludes with the Warriors' running through their pre-game warm-up. This DVD is a must for any coach looking for ways to improve practice, get in a high number of reps, keep as many players as possible involved and active, and make the most of their indoor practice space!

POSTPOSTPOSTPOST----CARBON FUTURESCARBON FUTURESCARBON FUTURESCARBON FUTURES Directed by Yves Billy Could the bluish-green liquid sloshing around in a laboratory beaker save the world from climate change? The liquid is an algae-based bio-fuel, and scientist Steve Mayfield believes it is a sign that a post-carbon future is drawing closer. If we're going to avoid catastrophic climate

change, we will need to move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. But which alternatives are the most promising? POST-CARBON FUTURES, examines the options&mdashfrom massive wind and solar projects, to re-engineering the planet itself, to more modest local efforts. From his office in sunny California, John Woolard of BrightSource Energy sees the future in solar power. The company runs the largest solar plant in the US. Located in Nevada, it produces enough energy to power 15,000 homes. Woolard says we don't have an energy problem, we have a collection and distribution problem. But with 2,000 new cars hitting the road in Beijing every day, and China set to open a new coal-fired plant a week for the next decade, the truth is we will require far more energy than solar and wind energy can produce&mdashunless we want to cover the surface of the earth with collector panels and windfarms. Some believe the solution lies in enormous, continent-altering projects&mdashsuch as a plan to blanket the Sahara in solar panels to produce electricity for Europe. Meanwhile, the developers of the proposed green city of Cao Fei Dian, 150 miles from Beijing, see the future in a city built from scratch on in-filled coastal land. POST-CARBON FUTURES makes the case that we need a completely different approach to economic growth and prosperity&mdashthat geo-engineering and building huge projects simply in order to maintain a consumer society makes no sense. British environmentalist Tim Jackson, from the University of Surrey, and French writer Paul Aries both argue that our current economic system has trapped us into needing to constantly increase our emissions. Aries, a leading advocate of the "de-growth" movement passionately argues for a re-imagining of our economic system&mdashnot just cutting back on emissions but redefining prosperity itself. The film travels to the UK, where we visit the British "transition town" of Totnes, which is converting itself into an environmentally sustainable community, and meet permaculture activists in San Francisco who dream of turning the city's 1,800 acres of lawns into sources of food, fuel and fibre. The Copenhagen and Cancun climate summits resulted in stalemates. But perhaps the focus on international treaties is misplaced. Maybe our best hope for bold changes lies right in our backyards.

DEVELOPMENT

GROW!GROW!GROW!GROW! By Anthony-Masterson With the average age of farmers in the U.S. currently at 57, it's critical to encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown. Filmed on 12 different farms throughout the state of Georgia during an entire growing season, GROW! provides an honest and inspiring look at this next generation of farmers. There is an emerging movement of young people, both women and men, who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Many are college-educated, and some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Not happy with their current lives and what they see as a broken food system, they aim to fix some of the current shortcomings by growing and distributing food locally and in a more sustainable manner. To start off, they often must borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams. Some begin as apprentices, working with experienced farmers to learn the basics before venturing out on their own. GROW! takes an engaging and personal look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 passionate, idealistic and fiercely independent young growers. In the film they speak of both the joys and the challenges involved in tending the land, from unpredictable weather and equipment breakdowns, to keeping their crops healthy. They also clearly present what motivates them, and what it takes to be successful as a farmer. The film provides inspiration to all viewers to support this new crop of local and sustainable farmers through the food choices we make every day. Reviews � "These young people are happy.

Hard-working to be sure, but satisfied in their work, nourishing themselves and others, and the earth itself, with their unusual career choice to return to America's agrarian roots — before corporations and chemicals took control of our food production." - Atlanta Magazine

� "GROW! offers the opportunity to

understand a new generation of farmer... What we get is a picture of hardworking, passionate and, yes, idealistic 20 and 30-somethings who feel called to a 'real' job with tangible results." - Civil Eats

� "Follows 20 young sustainable farmers on 12 farms in Georgia as they doggedly pursue careers in agriculture despite challenges related to land ownership and lack of farming experience." - Seedstock

TECHNICAL BACKSTROKETECHNICAL BACKSTROKETECHNICAL BACKSTROKETECHNICAL BACKSTROKE With Matt Kredich Generate maximum force to propel your body toward a personal best! On Deck Coach Kredich begins this presentation on deck with a physics lesson on the movement properties of the backstroke. The movement properties are clearly illustrated using a Vasa Trainer, making it

easy to view and understand these critical concepts. Though scientific, Kredich simplifies the science of the stroke. Kredich specifies arm action to teach when it is important to minimize drag and when it is imperative to maximize drag by presenting a greater surface area to generate maximum forward momentum. This discussion involves specific hand placement upon entry and how to use the levers of the arm to generate force through the arm pull and the finish. Kredich next shows boxing drills that teach a swimmer how to engage the entire body in rotational movements that are strong and stable. Moving to the Kick, Kredich uses the Vasa Trainer to show how to present surface area of the feet and legs to the direction of the flow. Also, how best to send water back with the feet to generate forward propulsion. In the water, Kredich presents a 5-step drill progression designed to teach the kicking concepts for backstroke. You'll see how to connect the kick with rotation and then progress into connecting the kick into the recovery, catch position and arm pull. In the Pool Kredich shows the power a backstroker can get from proper arm action. He includes four drills for teaching swimmers great arm pull. Kredich specifies the focus of each drill and how it technically connects to the full stroke. The Catch segment features three unique drills to train your swimmer to get the hand into a catch position that is loaded and ready to generate force. A full stroke backstroke segment follows showing how each of the drills connects to various focus points of the stroke. In the Stabilization segment, Kredich presents four drills dedicated to keeping the hips stable in the stroke, an area that Kredich believes is imperative to successful backstroke swimming. These drills force the swimmer to engage the abdominals to help with stabilization of the hips. In Dolphin Kick Drills, Kredich uses eight drills to teach and train the kick-out that includes the entire process from the push-off into the dolphin kick, and through the transition into the breakout arm stroke and the flutter kick transition. Drills in this segment make the swimmer realize how to develop explosiveness by understanding the technique of the dolphin kick and feeling the power that can be generated in a single kick. As an added bonus, Kredich presents three drills that are designed to assist the swimmer in finding the proper catch position. Kredich ends this presentation with demonstrations of full stroke backstroke that combines all of the elements that he

has presented for swimming a fast, fluid technical backstroke. Item no. : KY01852279 Format : DVD Duration : 92 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 60.00

BREASTSTROKEBREASTSTROKEBREASTSTROKEBREASTSTROKE With Matt Kredich Learn how to generate maximum speed and power by applying every possible force to the water! ON DECK Matt Kredich begins by discussing the physics of drag in the breastroke. Using a Vasa Trainer, he discusses the challenges of arm and leg movement in the stroke and the importance of connecting this movement with proper body positioning and timing. Specifically, he discusses the importance of low drag in the glide phase of the stroke vs. achieving maximum drag forces in the propulsive phases of the stroke. Kredich makes the science simple with his easy to understand descriptions and on-deck demonstrations. A unique Swiss ball exercise demonstrates the importance of engaging the core during the pull phase to help the swimmer hold a great body line in the water. Utilizing a boxing glove drill to train the "lunge" recovery phase, Kredich demonstrates how to move the arms forward in a straight line by engaging the hips and core to allow the swimmer to better explode forward with greater power. In the Kick segment, Kredich again uses a Vasa Trainer demonstration to teach all aspects and nuances of a great breaststroke kick. Kredich moves into the weight room for a demonstration on body positioning and how to assist a swimmer to develop a tall straight line posture in the water. This includes an evaluation of hip flexor flexibility and how to stretch tight hip flexors to assist in attaining a much straighter body line in the water. IN THE POOL Kredich starts with three drills that he feels help develop a highly efficient kick. Connecting a vertical kick drill to the pulling movement, Kredich has his demonstrators perform vertical pulling with kicking, which forces explosiveness in the stroke and kick and quickness and efficiency in the arm recovery into streamline. Kredich adds three drills that work to connect the kick to body position and work the timing of the kick. Kredich moves into the pull phase of the stroke with two pull-isolation drills that forces the swimmer to maximize forward momentum from every single pull. Kredich brings the recovery into focus with three specific drills to train a fast, efficient and forward

focused recovery action. He follows with a pull efficiency drill that heighten the sensation of the pull with increased resistance on the arms. In the Breaststroke pullout segment, Kredich discusses the strategies of where best to implement the dolphin kick that is allowed in the pullout. His teaching includes isolating the actual dolphin kick before connecting it to the entire pullout. Focus areas of the Kredich-taught pullout include a strong streamline, early dolphin kick, a pulldown that vaults the body forward and a tight recovery with a strong kick into the breakout stroke. Kredich has his demonstrators perform full stroke swimming of the breaststroke that highlights all of the skill set areas covered in building the entire stroke. With demonstrations from a male and two female elite level breaststrokers, you will get a contrasting look at varying styles of the stroke that all incorporate the same technical aspects.

ON DECK Coach Kredich begins on the Vasa Trainer with a physics discussion involving drag forces that a swimmer is faced with when swimming freestyle. This discussion and demonstration shows how to use the levers of the arm while engaging the lats, back and core. Kredich demonstrates how executing a deep catch and then applying pressure on as much surface area on the water as possible in the direction that you want the body to go offers the most effective way to generate forward momentum with each arm pull. This science made simple demonstration incorporates positioning and movement through the entry, catch, pull, finish and recovery. Kredich next shows the basis of long axis swimming with demonstrations of how to execute rotation with good hip stability utilizing boxing gloves. IN THE POOL In the Kick segment, Kredich reviews the goals of the leg movement required to execute an effective flutter kick. He includes three drills that work on vertical kicking and "speed position" kicking. This leads into a one arm freestyle drill that trains the entry into the catch position - perhaps the most critical arm movement of the stroke. The kick, the pull and the rotation are critical elements of moving the fingertips down and forward to attain a

deep catch position. Kredich presents two unique drills that help isolate the deep catch position with a focus on core connection for better balance and line. Kredich combines the elements of the body position, kicking and deep catch drills into a full stroke demonstration. Building upon the deep catch concept, Kredich presents a three-drill series that trains the swimmer to be aware of critical elements of the stroke, including sculling. He also shows a very unique sequence that forces the swimmer to connect the core to the deep catch and forearm anchor concept. In a segment on Recovery, Kredich discusses varying recovery styles that may best suit each individual swimmer. He presents a five-drill sequence that combines the elements of the deep catch to the recovery, breathing and timing of the stroke offering a variety of ways to let the swimmer feel various stroke elements. Again, this skill set sequence is followed with a series of full stroke demonstrations. Order now and learn the newest, most efficient ways to move through the water in freestyle!

GET READY TO GO SWIMGET READY TO GO SWIMGET READY TO GO SWIMGET READY TO GO SWIM A Simple, 30-Minute Routine of Stretching and Strengthening Exercises that Gets Every Member of Your Team Ready to Go Swim. Watch any elite swim meet or practice and you'll see that getting ready to swim means more than putting on your cap and goggles and jumping in the pool. Getting ready means warming up the muscles, loosening the shoulders, lengthening the spine, and preparing every part of your body for the specific movements of swimming. These 30 simple exercises, which most swimmers can do in under 30 minutes, will give you a head start before you even get in the pool. As you stretch and loosen, you'll also be strengthening your core, working on your streamline, and increasing your range of motion. You'll start by standing straight, lengthening the spine, and loosening the shoulders. You'll then move on to exercises that

strengthen the muscles surrounding your shoulder joint. Once you're on the mat, you'll do exercises that activate the spine, strengthen your core, and make you more aware of body alignment and posture. The exercises are simple and require no machines or equipment. They can be done by swimmers of any age, and because the routine combines stretching and strengthening, it is gentle enough to be part of every practice session.

CONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOCONSOLIDATION AND YOUUUU Directed by Georgia Sugimura Archer A David & Goliath tale of one man's fight against restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on consumers' access to the internet. Robb Topolski is an unlikely crusader for free speech -- on the surface; he seems to be a mild-mannered geek with a fondness for a capella music. However, when Topolski tried to upload some rare recordings of barbershop quartets to a peer-to-peer file sharing website in 2007, he found that his broadband Internet connection slowed down to a tiny fraction of its usual speed. Topolski, who worked as a computer network engineer, ran some tests to find out what was happening and made a surprising discovery -- his internet service provider was monitoring the web use of its customers and using software to slow connections for certain activities and certain websites. Topolski took his ISP to court and has become a passionate spokesman for net neutrality, believing that ISP's have no right to interfere with what their customers are doing and should not be watching their activities on line. This case is one of the key inspirations behind the documentary BARBERSHOP PUNK, which explores how a small number of powerful corporations have the power to control the World Wide Web, and what ordinary people can do to promote the free exchange of information in cyberspace. Featuring interviews with Ian MacKaye, Janeane Garofalo, Damian Kulash of OK Go, Henry Rollins, Mike McCurry, John Perry Barlow, Jonathan Adelstein and many more.

GAPGAPGAPGAP In this program we address the communication gap that occurs between students, their teachers and counselors. We discuss how students can better understand the challenges facing teachers and counselors today. By understanding the mechanics of the school environment, teens will be better prepared for overall success both in and out of school. A student's success in the classroom is not based on their teacher's performance, it is based on their own performance. When students show genuine interest, teachers will be more willing to talk, meet with and address any issues students have. However, students that show a lack of interest, disrupt classes, don' complete assignments, skip classes or show no interest in their academic career are often left behind. Having an open and positive line of communication with a teacher or professor is vital to a student's success in school. Although all instructors have different personalities and expectations, there are some general guidelines student's can follow in order to establish a positive relationship with their teacher. Subjects Covered Include: � Getting along with your teacher � How to handle difficult classes � The importance of school counselors � When and how to talk with your

counselor � Choosing your classes wisely � Class preparation � Having an open & positive line of

communication with your teacher Item no. : NT00941055 Format : DVD Duration : 20 minutes Price : USD 85.00

SCHOOL DROPOUTSSCHOOL DROPOUTSSCHOOL DROPOUTSSCHOOL DROPOUTS According to many studies, almost one third of all public high school students and nearly one half of all blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans, fail to graduate from public high school each year. Many of these students abandon school with less than two years to complete their high school education. The decision to drop out is a serious one for students. Dropouts are much more likely than their peers who graduate to be unemployed, live in poverty, receive public assistance, end up in prison, live an unhealthy lifestyle, become divorced and become single parents with children who drop out from high school themselves. Dropping out of high school is not a sudden act, but a gradual process of disengagement. Lack of attendance, lack of parental involvement and lack of motivation to succeed are all patterns and signs that a student is having difficulty at school and considering dropping out. Subjects Covered Include: � The drop out epidemic � Why do students drop out of school? � High Schools and Funding � Parental Involvement � What are the dangers of dropping out

of school � What are the benefits to a high school

Kevin Hambly delivers five step-by-step progressions to teach this powerful attack. Each phase starts simple and adds variables to make the progression more complex. Whether you coach beginning or advanced athletes, these techniques will provide a road map for advancing your athletes through the phases of attacking. Progression 1 - Throwing Motion Hambly provides two simple drills to help teach upper body movements and the throwing motion. These drills will allow your athletes to feel how the attack plays out from their core through their arm swing.

Hambly builds on the take off by adding the upper body twisting motion required to generate power. He provides drills that will assist you with teaching these techniques to less experienced players. For experienced players, Hambly shows swing mechanics for generating torque through the rotation and learning how to finish the swing. Progression 3 - Adding a Ball This progression begins simple and adds two variables to increase movement while remaining focused on the technical aspects of getting torque into your players' swing. Progression 4 - Adding a Setter Having established a great attack movement and swing, Hambly increases the complexity moving into game like situations on the court. He includes variables such as setting a quick, setting a second tempo ball, hitting from a variety of locations along the net, directional hitting and more. Progression 5 - Adding a Block The final progression adds a blocker.

VOLLEYBALL SUCCESSVOLLEYBALL SUCCESSVOLLEYBALL SUCCESSVOLLEYBALL SUCCESS With Stephen Florio Universally, volleyball coaches put an extremely high premium on communication, but many coaches approach communication as an expectation rather than an essential skill set. In one of the most innovative presentations at the 2010 AVCA Convention, Stephen Florio will challenge you to look at how you approach communication in your program. Coach Florio reveals what his research has uncovered about how communication in pre-rally, in rally and after rally situations can positively affect a team.

Included in these activities are two-player warm-up drills, partner drills, pepper drills, serve receive drills and 6-on-6 drills. What makes these drills so effective is that they require concentration and thought in order to be successful and they're fun and unique which keeps players engaged. Florio's drills are all integrated into game skills, position and team play.

Over the last 30 years, the women's fight for freedom and equality led to an inner awakening. In 2003, Shirin Ebadi became the first Muslim woman and the first Iranian citizen to receive the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize acknowledging her courageous efforts for democracy and human rights in Iran. Her crowning achievement inspired Iranian women to begin what has become the most powerful movement for reform in Iran's history, the One Million Signature campaign. The bravery of these women is remarkable as they risk their lives to gain freedoms under one of the world's most repressive regimes. Lion Women chronicles the untold story of the Iranian Women's Movement and its fight for democracy and human rights.

WORLD HISTORY

BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE BERLIN 1885: THE

DIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICADIVISION OF AFRICA By Joel Calmettes On February 26th, 1885, at Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's official residence in Berlin, the "Berlin Conference on Africa" came to a successful conclusion. After three months of negotiations amongst the leading diplomats from all the major European powers (and the US), the "General Act of the Berlin Conference" had been agreed. And a large part of Africa's subsequent fate had been set in motion. For at a time when an estimated 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control, the purpose of the Berlin Conference had been for the Great Powers to establish rules amongst themselves for the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of Africa's resources. Including the division of territory, the drawing of maps, and the establishment of Congo -- as a personal possession of the Belgian King. Not surprisingly, no Africans had been invited to the Conference. Using actual transcripts taken down at the time, BERLIN 1885: THE DIVISION OF AFRICA combines reenactments of the Conference proceedings and previously unexplored archival materials, with the insights of historians and scholars from six nations, to discuss the politics, implications, and legacy of the first international conference about Africa. Reviews � "Cleverly using the exchanges put

down in the diplomatic archives, BERLIN 1885 never sacrifices the demand of the documentary to the virtue of fiction. The seriousness of the program comes nonetheless with a skilful direction that maintains our attention. This a model of the genre, educational but without heaviness." -Telerama

� "A film well carried through, with a rhythm given by the chapters and the addition of some very instructive perspectives (...) The fiction-documentary by Joel Calmettes, a moment of outstanding television, would perfectly find its place in numerous history classes in high school and college." -Le Monde

� "Undoubtedly not to compromise its

great historical rigor, BERLIN 1885… refuses to exploit the tricks of fiction." - Liberation

LOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORDLOSE HIS SWORD By Dries Engels & Bart Van Peel On June 30, 1960, slightly over 50 years ago, the largest African colony Congo became independent of Belgium. The day before, Wednesday, June 29th, around half past four in the afternoon, as the Belgian King Baudouin was being driven through Kinshasa, standing bolt upright next to the future president Kasavubu in a Cadillac convertible, he saluted the Belgian flag. At this very moment a young Congolese man steps from the crowd, steals the sabre of King Badouin from behind, and runs away. And photographer Robert Lebeck eternalizes the incident in a single shot. In BOYAMBA BELGIQUE: OR WHY A KING SHOULD NOT LOOSE HIS SWORD, this picture becomes a keyhole through which to peer at the decolonization of Africa. For the filmmakers embark on a search for the thief, meeting eyewitnesses, searching for archives, visiting villages, and digging into the meaning and symbolism of the act. Until most good stories of hidden history, after false starts and misdirection about the person and meanings both, they do discover the real thief, and, why he did it.

conference titles and 2010 MAC Coach of the Year Award. This technique enables your athletes to wrestle for reversals and pins, not just escapes. Coach Borrelli begins by teaching the key to the leg slip - the swim technique. This method gets the opponent to his hip and puts your athlete in prime position to hit a reversal and score back points. Borrelli dissects two styles of leg riders - short leg with a hug technique and deep leg with a cross body ride. He explains and demonstrates how to effectively score points using the leg slip against each technique. # Learn to defend leg riders in a variety of situations: � Countering a power half � A cross face and whip across � Guarding against a re-route � Stopping a banana split � Scoring a reverse after being

flattened out on the mat � Reversing the opponent with double

legs in and more. Borrelli also shows how your athletes can use the leg slip as an offensive weapon. This is a perfect technique for wrestlers who aren't very strong on their feet, as it keeps the opponent on the mat. By practicing and perfecting the leg slip, your wrestlers will gain a greater confidence on the mat against any type of leg rider and avoid getting ridden out Item no. : DJ01852091 Format : DVD Duration : 42 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 60.00

In this instructional DVD, Brendan Buckley demonstrates a simple and effective leg series that will give your wrestlers the tools they need to dominate on top. Coach Buckley's leg tilt series covers it all: Set-ups to get into legs, six turns to score points and accrue riding time, and different transitions from one turn to another. Buckley shows two set-ups to start the series that are easy to hit and won't alert your opponent to what's coming next. Buckley demonstrates six positions that can lead to points once the legs are in: � Hook an ankle � Half nelson to "create a window"

� 2-on-1 tilt from a belly down position � Cross body ride � Ball and chain � Power half In each position, Buckley shows how to use hip pressure to make the turn easier. You don't need to be strong to make these positions work! These turns are effective for any wrestler at any level. Along with detailed technique, Buckley demonstrates different ways to transition from one move to the next. What makes this series so effective is that your opponent, while trying to defend the move, will set you up to easily transition from one position to another allowing you to rack up back points and score a technical fall. Buckley also shows how to transition smoothly into a bar series when running the cross body ride and ball and chain series. This series was a favorite of Buckley's when he competed and produces great success for the Columbia wrestlers. Incorporate it into your system today!

LETTERS: THE CRAB RILETTERS: THE CRAB RILETTERS: THE CRAB RILETTERS: THE CRAB RIDEDEDEDE With Troy Letters "Troy is one of the best in the nation with the crab ride. He has an amazing feel for the crab ride and can show you how to score with it." - Greg Strobel, former Lehigh University Head Coach The crab ride is a multi-threat riding technique that you can use to rack up near fall points and pins. Three-time All American Troy Letters developed a nearly unstoppable crab ride technique leading him to three, top-three finishes in the NCAA Tournament including the 2004 NCAA Championship. Now, Letters himself shows you how to use this dominating ride to keep your opponent on the mat and put bonus points on the scoreboard. Starting with the basic positioning, Letters demonstrates three ways to get your opponent extended and to pull him into the crab ride (or the "home" position). Letters shows you how to get your opponent's weight forward with the inside chop and spiral ride to easily slip into the crab ride. In addition, he shows how to use your opponent's momentum off a stand-up to pull him into the crab ride. Once you have established your "home" position, Letters shows how to stay on the offense and score points. He demonstrates three ways to turn and pin you can use from the crab ride depending on how your opponent reacts: � Half Nelson - when he is sitting up

and fighting away from you � Turk Series - when he turns off his

back and fights into you � Bar Arm Series - see how to bait your

opponent to post his hand that opens up a scoring opportunity

In addition, you will see two common defenses to the crab ride and how to counter them for points. Troy Letters is one of the top crab riders in the world. Now you can start earning more near fall points and pins by using Letters' proven techniques. Item no. : LF01852223 Format : DVD Duration : 44 minutes Copyright : 2010 Price : USD 60.00

to come out on top when you're on the bottom. Smith demonstrates how to beat eight common situations wrestlers struggle with: � Tight waist rides: Beat the most

popular ride in wrestling. Smith also shows what to do if you get chopped from the tight waist.

� Bar arms from the tight waist: Learn how to get out of 2-on-1 and bellied out situations.

� The Tulsa Ride: See how you can use your hips to get your opponent out of position.

� Trapped ankles: Defend near and far ankle rides. Smith includes the swisher technique to get to your feet.

� One leg in: Learn five options based on hip position to free the leg and score points.

� Two legs in: See how pressuring into the opponent can get you into a scramble position.

� Crab rides: Get five options for beating crab rides including tips for beating the half nelson from the crab ride.

� Mat returns from the feet: Learn to stay in position to get the escape.

In each area, Smith clearly defines the key to each move, concentrating on the hip and hand positions. These are the same techniques that he teaches in the Oklahoma State wrestling room. These techniques will keep your wrestlers from being ridden for long stretches of time, giving up riding time or being scored on with cheap tilts. The hardest area of wrestling is coming off the bottom once you get stopped. Incorporate these situational wrestling drills into your practice and your wrestlers will get back to scoring position quicker and more consistently.

謎題為他是從何處得到發明紙的靈感的。有

專家認為蔡倫是從抽絲時沉澱在鍋底的蠶

絲上得到紙的靈感,而人們需要一種輕便又

廉價的材料來書寫,於是蔡倫還找到了廉價

話話話話。。。。畫畫畫畫 ---- 清明上河圖清明上河圖清明上河圖清明上河圖 我們應該都見過「清明上河圖」,也許是在

「國立故宮博物院」,也許是在「上海世界

博覽會」,也許是在教科書裡,總之,這是

一幅縱橫數個世紀的名畫,也是伴隨我們成

長的國寶之一。 然而,畫裡有許多的玄機妙處,我們,可曾

仔細賞析過嗎?從碼頭船舶到街上馬車,從

富貴大院到小戶人家,從看病診所到算命小

攤,有多少美麗場景在畫中呢?從風箏遊戲

到學堂上課,從京戲演出到雜耍猴戲,從迎

親隊伍到商飯叫賣,有多少文化活動在畫中

呢?從達官顯貴到落魄乞丐,從把酒言歡到

醉後失態,從男人女人到嬰兒孩童,有多少

生動表情在畫中呢?4千多人的空間,凝聚

初春的氛圍,這些意境,我們,都真的知道

了嗎? 讓我們重新認識這個存在許久的國寶,法國

首席藝術節目導演 Alain Jaubert,第一次詮

釋東方畫作--故宮鎮院之寶「清明上河圖」;

第一次提件真跡 HD 高畫質拍攝的紀錄之

下,第一次讓故宮專家都驚艷的細節呈現。

卷軸的奧秘來自歷代的臨摹,理想的盛世呈

現在畫作之中,來自數百年之前的卷軸概

念,或許正是現代人熟悉的電影? Item no. : TP00836373

『瑰寶』故事橫跨六十年,在動盪的年代,

一瞬間命運就輕易地被改變了。而在機關算

盡後,所得到的真是想要的結果嗎?愛情、

親情、友情,孰者為重?又該如何選擇?!
