In 0, Seoungho Cho literally counts cars
speeding down a freeway. The interwoven
and digitally rendered content — cars, the
sounds
they
produce,
numbers
superimposed upon them — creates a
dynamic investigation of the mechanics of
the moving image. 0 combines the
excitement of a motor-sport video game
with
the

10 DRILLS FOR PLAYER
EVALUATION
With Kevin Sutton
The task of evaluating players is common
among all basketball coaches. Coach
Sutton introduces innovative drills that
help
with
evaluation
and
player
development. The philosophy that "every
kid has a ball" is evident in this DVD.
Using chairs on the floor, the X drill works
on half court ball handling and shooting.
Sutton emphasizes the value of
communication among players in all of
these drills. Changes in speed and
direction are important components of
improvement. Full court drills force players
to use the cross over dribble and dribble
explosion in an attacking mentality.
Two-ball dribbling is incorporated into the
full court drills. One ball is passed to a
teammate while the other is shot. The
benefit of these 10 drills is player
improvement and a chance to evaluate
roles for each player on the team.

10 DRILLS FOR PRESSURE
PRESSURE
DEFENSE FUNDAMENTALS
With Tony Bergeron
Coach Bergeron covers the fundamentals
that make up a good pressure defensive
system, beginning with an in-depth
discussion on the cornerstones of good
defense - the pivot, jump stop and stance.
From there he moves into drills to
reinforce
these
fundamentals.
In
Bergeron's practices, the post drills are
worked
on
every
day.
Bergeron
emphasizes
that
footwork
and
fundamentals are two keys to good post
defense, and he includes a few of his
favorite drills to work the post players. In
addition, drills for both man and zone trap
are included.

10 RULES FOR PRESSURE
PRESSURE
MANMAN-TOTO-MAN DEFENSE
With Tubby Smith
Tubby Smith's four tenets of defense are:
don't give up lay-ups, no second shots,
contest all shots and force the opponent to
make plays. His on ball defensive
philosophy is keyed by good pressure and
pushing the ball to the sideline. All
penetrating passes are overplayed in
addition to constant ball pressure. In this
presentation, Coach Smith breaks down
each defensive position in terms of
positioning and responsibility. Trapping
areas in this system are in the paint on
penetration by the defender and the
closest help defender. Ball penetration
causes defensive rotation, which is
highlighted by Smith as the ball is moved
around. On a pass-by-pass basis, Smith
analyzes the defense's goals, strengths
and vulnerable areas. Being aggressive
on defending in-bounds passes is another
focus of this defensive system. Full court
pressure includes ball pressure, back
tapping and aggressive trap situations.
Smith discusses the white press - good
after a dead ball or made shot - and the
black deny press. He also includes drills
that teach many of the individual and team
concepts needed to build this defense,
including the 4-on-4 half court, which is a
staple in his practice.

10 STRATEGIES FOR
GUARDING YOUR
OPPONENT'S BEST PLAYS
PLAYS
With Bob Huggins
A change from a flat triangle theory of
defense to an "On Line, Up Line"
philosophy has been key to Coach
Huggins' defensive productivity. His new
philosophy says the offense can throw it
over you but not through you, meaning his
defenders are directly in the passing lane.
This forces the offense to catch the ball
further from the basket and out of prime
scoring areas. By pushing them out from
the basket, passes become longer and
more difficult for the offense to make. Ball
screens and back screens are two of the
games best offensive weapons, and
Huggins breaks down his views on how
his teams stop each. Core defensive skills
are shared in the drills on this DVD;
positioning, helping, closing out, pushing
the ball out, guarding back cuts, back
screens, and down screens are all
covered. Excellent defensive instruction
from one of the best in the game!

100 YEARS OF SILENCE:
SILENCE:
THE GERMANS IN NAMIBIA
NAMIBIA
By Halfdan Muurholm & Casper Erichsen
One hundred years ago, the Herero
people
of
Namibia
were
nearly
exterminated by German colonial soldiers
in what has become known as the first
genocide of the 20th century. Herero men,
women and children were rounded up like
cattle and put into Germany's first ever
concentration camps. Four years later,
three-quarters of the entire Herero nation
had perished at the hands of German
colonialists.
The Nazis used the experiences from the
German concentration camps in Namibia
as well as their experiments in "racial
science" when they formulated the Final
Solution during World War II a few
decades later. Today the Hereros claim
billions of euros from the German
government in repatriation for the
genocide.
The experience of one family is described
by a descendant, a 23-year-old Herero
woman named Georgina. She has a fair
complexion and a green tinge to her eyes.
Georgina is aware of the fact that her
great-grandmother was raped by a
German soldier and now wants to confront
the demons of her own genetic past.

1010-POINT SHELL DRILL
FOR MANMAN-TOTO-MAN
DEFENSE
With Jamie Dixon
Teaching players where to be in every
defensive situation on the floor is a Jamie
Dixon trademark. His 10-point shell drill
covers every possible defensive scenario
and anchors the Pitt defense in games. As
the ball is slowly reversed around the
perimeter, Dixon instructs players on the
proper position and technique at each spot.
When the ball is on the wing, there is
automatic penetration to the baseline. This
forces the weak side defense to be in a
help position and adjust toward the ball to
keep the ball out of the paint. By moving
players down to the corners, the focus is
on middle penetration. Stance, vision and
moving in the direction of the pass are
cornerstones
of
good man-to-man
defense. Defending the ball screen has
become mandatory for all teams. Dixon
explains the on ball coverage that
minimizes risk but is aggressive. Other
sets defended are the UCLA screen set,
flex and flare screen set. The last
component is doubling the post and
doubling the on ball screen. Dixon teaches
specific technique on a hard, aggressive
double team. Dixon illustrates that almost
every situation faced in a game can be
prepared for in practice with the 10-point
shell drill.

11 ONEONE-ONON-ONE DRILLS
With Phil Martelli
Coach Martelli believes that one-on-one
play is an overlooked component of
practice in today's game. He preaches that
one-on-one
play
emphasizes
skill,
conditioning and competition. Everything
about Martelli's philosophy includes hard
play and competitiveness. In drills, it is the
coach's responsibility to work skills of
every player. The first drill he introduces
uses chairs on the floor to create a half
court one-on-one drill. The same drill can
be used to focus on stops by the defender.
The baseline and top of the key drills are
competitive partner drills. The rotational
drill keeps players moving from one spot
to the next while getting eight reps of
one-on-one. Throughout practice, scores
are tallied both for individuals and teams.
Coach pass one-on-one is a multi-purpose
drill where players can play from the
perimeter or the post. To keep things fresh,
Martelli adds a new drill each day with a
different consequence. Coach pass one vs.
two, Sutton Drill, slap-n-go, full court
one-on-one, Knicks, mismatch and king of
the hill, round out an impressive group of
one-on-one drills.

11TH HOUR, THE
Directors: Nadia Conners, Leila Conners
Petersen
With the contributions of over fifty of the
world's most prominent thinkers and
activists, including reformer Mikhail
Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking,
and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai,
the film documents the grave problems
facing the planet's life systems. Global
warming, deforestation, mass species
extinction, and depletion of the oceans'
habitats are all addressed, and alleged to
be largely, if not exclusively, caused by
human activity. Of these crises is the film's
premise is that future of not just the planet,
but that the survival of humanity is in
jeopardy.
The film also offers hope and potential
solutions to these problems by calling for
restorative action by the reshaping and
rethinking of global human activity through
technology and social responsibility and
conservation.
Scientists
and
environmental advocates such as David
Orr, David Suzuki, and Gloria Flora paint a
portrait for a radically new and different
future in which it is not humanity's intent to
dominate the planet's life systems, but to
mimic and coexist with them.

12 GAMEGAME-WINNING RUN
AND PASS PLAYS
With Al Fracassa
Coach Fracassa condenses his many
years of sideline experience into this
power-packed offensive DVD. Included in
this presentation, is Fracassa's highly
successful ISO play which can be run with
two tight ends, from the Power-I, wing,
overset, Pro Set or from a motion set. Next
up, the legendary coach details all the ins
and outs of his vaunted Toss Play - which
is from the overset formation and features
linemen sprinting to a zone, finding any
player they can. You'll also get an inside
look at the Power-I Power Play in which
the halfback kicks out on the hole as the
fullback blocks the first man he comes to.
This play is effective because the QB
makes it look like an isolation play, but it
becomes a power play. Other gems from
Fracassa's playbook include the Sprint
Draw, Counter Pass, Sprint Pass, Quick
Pass and Cross Pass. With a great
combination of diagrams, teaching points
and game clips, Fracassa accurately
presents each of these highly effective
plays into a format that makes it easy to
implement into your team's playbook. A
final segment on game preparation
includes valuable tips and techniques
such as play cards, scripting the first 10
plays and much more!

12 LITTLE THINGS THAT
THAT
MATTER
With Sherri Coale
In this insightful DVD, Coale discusses the
importance of practice planning, drill
consistency, using a positive approach
and non-stop communication. By using the
"echo technique" Coale's team repeats her
instructions during the entire practice,
keeping them all on the same page. On
the court, the "North Carolina fast break"
drill is an important activity in Sooner
practices. This single drill requires players
to listen, communicate, run, pass, catch,
make lay-ups and fill spots on the floor.
"Walking the arch" is another small detail
that produces big results. This strategy is
a technique used by cutters to get open
using screens. Instead of using the V-cut,

"Walking the arch" helps spacing on the
perimeter and gets shooters open. Other
techniques demonstrated include the slip
screen, blocking out for better rebounding,
post player techniques, the "fake a pass to
make a pass" and the "X" passing drill,
which
emphasizes
communication,
squaring to the ball and making good
passes. Offensively, Coale shares five
pressure release options that are an
important part of their motion offense. 12
Little Things That Matter will challenge
your philosophy and give you some
valuable nuggets for your program!

The next entry is called Post. This option
is more about speed than screening and
makes decision makers out of post players.
The pinch-post becomes the point of good
decision making. The hand off is created
and is extremely hard to guard. The third
option is the wing entry. This pass signals
specific offensive action to follow. Odom
concludes by adding some of his "special
options" to the basic 1-4 movement. Odom
preaches that good spacing will allow
many scoring options. Timing is important
so you can make the right play at the right
time.

16 FAVORITE PRACTICE
DRILLS
With Sylvia Hatchell
1-3-1 EXTENDED HALF
COURT
COURT ZONE DEFENSE
14 OPTIONS FOR THE
TRANSITION GAME
With Ed DeChellis
With Blaine Taylor
The biggest reason for playing the 1-3-1
zone defense is to neutralize your
opponent's best post player. It also gives
you the ability to move different players
around in the defense. The point of the
1-3-1 zone must be a player who is
athletic and can finish on the other end. A
point guard-type player is perfect for the
back of the zone. His coverage area is
from corner to corner and he must be a
great communicator. The 3-man covers
the right side, from wing to block. The
4-man, the best rebounder, starts on the
left wing. The 5-man sets up at the free
throw line and is "the linebacker" of the
entire defense- his coverage is from the
top of the key to block. The key for this
defense is to discourage direct passes by
the offense. DeChellis breaks down the
zone by putting the ball in different areas
of the floor. Drills are included to fine-tune
this defense. DeChellis calls the 1-3-1
zone "a high risk, high reward attack" that
can change tempo quickly and make
athletic opponents lethargic in a hurry!
The task of developing a full court attack
has paid off for Coach Taylor. Through the
years he pulled concepts from others as
he assembled the ideal break. On display
in this on-court demonstration is the end
result. The break is ignited by an "outlet
phase - a pass to a single outlet, which
frees the wings to sprint down the floor
ahead of the ball. Outlet options are the
wing away, three, rim, solo and trail. Each
of these options are demonstrated on the
floor with players. After the outlet, the point
guard must establish a side of the floor.
Other options presented by Taylor are
step-out, the seal and drag, wave-down
screen, wing advance option and others
that feature post duck in, triple screen and
pick and roll. This DVD is packed with
transition gems that will allow your team
many options for scoring in transition.

1-4 OFFENSE VS. MAN
DEFENSE, THE
With Dave Odom
Coach Odom's 1-4 offense has been one
of the consistent weapons in his
successful tenure due to its ability to
spread the defense, create back door
opportunities, bring the defense up and
out, has multiple entries and it gives you
multiple opportunities to score (making it
hard for your opponent to scout). The first
option he demonstrates is Power, which
begins with a dribble out to the right wing
that signals all subsequent action. The
preferred options are to feed the post first,
and shoot off the down screen second.

fielding, hitting, pitching and more. He
even covers a variety of activities to use
during rain delays at the game. In this
3-DVD set, Baker uses real baseball
players to show you nearly 150 games
Coach Hatchell's favorite drills are the
basis of the great success she has had at
UNC. Her style of basketball is about
scoring in three areas: off the break, off
turnovers and off the offensive glass.
Favorite Drills begin with shooting. Drills
include one-handed shooting, two-handed
shooting, jump shooting and the
3-ball/2-player drill. Ball handling is an
everyday emphasis at UNC. Hatchell
shows her best ball handling drills such as
2-ball dribbling, 2-ball alternate and the
stutter-step/explode drill. Correct passing
and catching fundamentals are taught in
Hatchell's favorite passing drills. Freezing
the defender is another skill taught to
enhance passing skills. Using an easy
motion offense drill, Hatchell puts in a solid
motion offense with only two rules. This
offense is applicable to any level from
junior high to college. An excellent
trapping drill is demonstrated, which is the
foundation for their trapping defensive
system. Also included are her favorite
rebounding, fast break, 3-point shot and
finishing drills. The final drill deals with
Coach
Hatchell's
strategy
and
organization for timeouts; this is
imperative for productive timeouts and
execution on the floor!

Terminology such as mini land, midline,
post across, foot fight, chin and check,
pound dribble and run for scores are
defined. Chairs are used in many drills and
dictate the placement of the ball. Leverage
is a skill that is demonstrated with
one-on-one play in the paint. Several drills
combine leverage with scoring in the post.
A series of "Chuck" drills adds a physical
element to each drill. Chairs are moved

20/20 HINDSIGHT WITH
MORGAN WOOTTEN
With Morgan Wootten
Legendary coaches Morgan Wootten and
Joe Gallagher share their insights from 95
combined years of coaching. Coach
Gallagher begins with tips from his storied
career that cover communication and
family involvement. The goals of Coach
Wootten's teams were to play hard, play
smart, play together and have fun.
Perseverance allows teams to stay in the
game as the opponent finds a way to lose.
Team unity is based on the chemistry you
produce on your team because the five
best players rarely make up the best team.
Defense is a priority for winning basketball.
Having a defensive plan, according to
Wootten, is mandatory for the coach. This
includes handling pressure with set plays
to isolate your best scorer. Wootten shares
his 12 lessons in leadership, which he
learned from John Wooden, and also
discusses the importance of pre- and
post-game talks and half time talks.
Wootten shares how coaching can bring
out the best, and the worst, in coaches
and discusses his thoughts on how
sportsmanship deserves a high place in
sports. In addition, Wootten also touches
on practice plans and the fast break.

2-2-1 PRESS FOR HIGH
SCHOOL BASKETBALL
With Kevin Sutton
Coach Sutton's concept of defense is to
force turnovers and create offense on the
other end. The "55" is a 2-1-2 full court
zone press and is a defensive cornerstone
in this program. While doing this the
opponent will become fatigued, leading to
more success. Defensive principles are
important and include: Ball pressure,
containing the dribble, force the ball into
trap areas and up the sidelines. Sutton's
scramble/recovery mode is based on
closet man/closest ball. The first press
illustrated by Sutton is the 2-2-1 zone
press. The first line of defense contains
two guards and they apply pressure first.
The two half court players have middle
and deep coverage based on ball position.
They are also used as interceptors when
longer passes are thrown. The last player
has the back line and protects the basket.
Sutton shares another press, 56, that
starts in a 2-1-2 alignment. Both presses
are tools to dictate tempo and speed up a
game to the disadvantage of the
opponents in many ways.

2-2-2 DEUCES OFFENSE
With Don Zimmerman
The Deuces offense spaces the field well
to create good dodging lanes from all four
corners. Three sets of two players work
together in pairs. Typically two players will
be behind, two on top and two in the
crease. A strength of the offense is using
the pick, where one player in the pair frees
his teammate. This creates confusion and
indecision in the defense. By reading the
defenders movement, the offensive player
can spring free of the defender. Another
teaching technique is the front swing.
Zimmerman feels the game is all about
deception, and the Deuce is full of
deception. The player with the ball is
taught to sprint into, through, and out of
the pick. Once out of the pick, the man
with the ball heads straight to the goal with
his stick in feeding position. The second
pair is known as the inside men and key
techniques are demonstrated to enhance
their productivity in the Deuce. Inside men
maintain balance by staying opposite of
the dodger. The third pair is known as the
men up top. When out front, players are
always ready to score. By being inside the
restraining line, these two players present
a dangerous threat to the defense. The
straight-line principle is a concept that can
really help young players. The Deuces
offense will get your team high percentage
shots while attacking from the inside and
outside!

2-3 MATCHMATCH-UP ZONE
DEFENSE
With Brenda Frese
A big part of Coach Frese's success as a
coach comes from her brilliance when it
comes to the 2-3 match-up zone. The
match-up is a combination of man-to-man
and zone principles. Benefits of this zone
are that it can be played by teams short on
size, quickness, athletic ability or numbers.
Also, it is flexible because your team can
trap out of the zone and stunt against a
good post player. Frese details the roles of
all five players in this defense; all players
must constantly talk and move as a unit
with the constant pressure on the ball.
Extra features include reaction vs. the skip
pass, the dribble drive, and bump and
adjust. Specific instruction is given when
the ball goes into the post, teaching
players to maintain sight of the ball. Drills
included in this presentation work on
guarding the ball in multiple spots on the
floor, as well as how to guard the top and
the bottom of the zone.

2-3 MATCHMATCH-UP ZONE
DEFENSE
With Bill Fennelly
Coach Fennelly's coaching career is the
epitome of solid defense, great shooting
and consistency. His teams value the ball,
shoot the three at a high percentage and
play good defense. Fennelly is passionate
in his belief in the zone. Benefits of playing
zone include avoid fouling, protect
someone who is in foul trouble, hide
someone who isn't a great defender and to
defend the other team's best player.
Fennelly demonstrates four key areas of
the zone: Bumping players off, which is
the core of the defense; guarding the high
post player, the gray area and double
teaming on the block. Specific zone
situations in this DVD are ball in the high
post, short corner and ball on the block. A
good zone can handle all three situations,
as seen on this presentation. A key
teaching point is moving with the ball to
arrive when the opponent catches it.
Trapping situations are also covered. He
also includes two great drills - 5 v 4 and 6
v 5. Fennelly shows how to take the best
player out of the game. After installing the
parts of the zone, the Cyclones go live in
5-on-5 half-court play.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR
COACHING HORIZONTAL
JUMPS
With Mike Pullins
Featuring demonstrations
Williams
by
Jesse
Coach Pullins shares his successful
teaching tactics and tips in this DVD on
coaching the horizontal jumps. Approach
runs are a must for all jumpers and will
allow the athlete to have jumping success.
Pullins believes 16 to 20 steps is the aim
early in the season for approach runs. He
teaches to drive out on the first four steps
to build speed on the approach. To
develop a good approach, Pullins
demonstrates a "push, pull, plant"
technique that incorporates hurdles on the
jump runway. First and second phase run
off, standing landing drill, box step, small
hop & big step, standing 4-step and the
first & second phase long jump are all
good drills for pre-season workouts. Each
drill is slightly different and has a special
skill focus. Advanced drills for experienced
jumpers include single leg projection hops,
step drill, straight line paw repeat, paw
read push drill, alternating step, single leg
hop and the strong/weak drills. Rhythm is
crucial to the jump events and
improvement comes from the rhythm run
off drill. The walking extension drill uses
hurdles and enhances flexibility, posture
and a straight line push. As a bonus,
Pullins demonstrates 22 additional drills
using med balls, resistance bands, jump
pads, boxes and hurdles to create the
desired effect. The emphasis is on
addressing conditioning, flexibility and
proper posturing.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR
COACHING THE DISCUS
THROW
With Harlis Meaders
Coach Meaders breaks the discus throw
down into four parts: the entry, heel-toe,
catch position and the alley and shares the
drills and tips that he uses with great
effectiveness at FSU to reinforce each part.
A simple line drill is demonstrated and is a
crucial part of fundamental footwork. By
using a board in the circle, Meaders
exhibits the details of discus position and
footwork in a 1-2-3 progression. Footwork
and hand position on the discus allows
maximum
orbit
distance.
Discus
placement means that the discus stays
well behind the hip. A javelin drill is
essential for hip turn throughout the throw.
Another drill, the 2-3 Position Drill, moves
the hips from a parallel to perpendicular
position while the discus stays in the same
position. Balance and discus position is
the focus of the Softball Drop Drill. In
addition, Meaders covered two throwing
methods; the wide sweep and the run.

In this comprehensive Tips & Drills DVD,
Coach Licari presents 25 teaching tools for
coaching the pole vault. Licari believes
that a successful vault begins with proper
pole carry and approach. The standing tip
drop and the marching pole carry are
excellent fundamental drills that are taught
and demonstrated. The initial steps are
developed with the mini hurdle pole run
drill. Sled pulling conditions the athlete
and works on the driving and pushing
action. Licari next details the proper pole
carry position by showing hand and
shoulder position. He then shares the
three-step plant and breaks down each
step culminating in the pole at its highest
position above the head. Planting the pole
is taught through the marching plant drill
followed by the three-step approach drill to
execute a proper pole plant. Long jumping
is part of the short pole drill with an
emphasis on the leg action and the take
off mechanics. Licari's "over the tip"
exercise, assists the vaulter to accurately
determine the position of the hands on the
pole. Power comes from the chest drive
and Licari shares several drills to increase
strength when the pole is planted. The
stall technique is used in drill work to
emphasize high hands and chest drive.
Using rings, the athlete works on the rock
back motion and quarter turn. He finishes
with horizontal vaults and the short run
vault drills.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR
COACHING THE HIGH
JUMP
With Calvin Robinson
Utilizing
demonstration
from
two
world-class
high
jumpers,
Coach
Robinson shares tips and drills for
coaching high jumping. The first tip is to
utilize a well-organized training plan and
proper conditioning as a base for success.
Technically, Robinson believes the
approach is the single most important
aspect of championship high jumping. All
positive outcomes hinge on a proper and
powerful approach. Straight ahead running
teaches good acceleration mechanics and
a natural step bounce. Curve line runs and
S runs are also crucial to the approach of
the bar. A more difficult drill is the circle run,
which teaches the inward lean and is done
in both directions. Full approach jumps
include several methods that are trial and
error for each athlete. The "skip bounce
for height" drill introduces blocking
mechanics at take off and ground contact.
Another teaching tool is the short run jump.
These jumps allow the athlete to focus on
proper body posture. Proper posture and
acceleration through the take off are the
focus. Robinson details bar clearance with
a simple "double leg flops off the ground"
drill. The same drill can be varied by using
a box in front of the bar as athletes get
accustomed to jumping high in the air from
the box. Robinson concludes with his
instruction on the full approach jump.
Pulling it all together, Robinson concludes
this information packed presentation with
world-class demonstration of a dozen
proper jumps that serve to pull together

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR THE
SPRINT EVENTS
With Mike Holloway
Long recognized as one of the top sprint
coaches in the sport, Coach Holloway
believes that the make-up of a successful
sprinter must include the ingredients of
power, flexibility, elasticity and the
willingness to be a student of the event.
Holloway strives to adapt those ideas to
the training and competitive arena. Drills
are done for endurance and to teach the
body to do things in a proper way. The
ground strike of the foot is the focus of
these sprint drills. The dribble series
involves five footwork drills in the warm-up
mode. The start is a vital component that
sets of the rhythm and flow of the sprint.
Holloway uses an athlete to demonstrate
the proper starting position and includes
the common errors made when starting.
The Race Model for the 100 m sprint is
broken down into three areas: drive from
the blocks, acceleration phase and the
maintenance phase. Patience is the key to
the drive phase, pushing to 30 m. For the
200 m race, Holloway teaches the sprinter
how to attack the curve and reinforces the
principles of running the straightaway. The
400 m sprint is broken down into five
phases. Acceleration is the key to the first
30. Being aggressive - yet in control - is a
key to the middle phases of this race. In
the last phase, sprinters are taught to be
calm and focus on the proper sprint
movements. Race footage shows the
breakdown of each of the fundamentals of
100 m, 200 m and 400 m sprints.

3 TIMES DIVORCED
By Ibtisam Salh Mara'ana
How does a Palestinian woman in Israel
survive an abusive husband? When
Gaza-born Khitam’s abusive Arab Israeli
husband divorces her and gains custody
of her six children, she suddenly finds
herself fighting two heart-breaking battles:
against the Sharia Muslim court to get her
children back, and against the state of
Israel, which considers her an illegal
resident and denies her protection in a
shelter for battered women.
3 TIMES DIVORCED is a fascinating and
disturbing look at a civil and religious legal
system that denies women the right to get
a divorce independent of their husbands. It
highlights the bind that abused women
find themselves in when their immigration
status is contingent upon marriage. With
remarkable access and an unflinching lens
that never sensationalizes, award-winning
filmmaker Ibtisam Salh Mara'ana captures
Khitam’s astonishing courage as she
faces an impossible situation with no
country or court to protect her.

picture. A staple of his winning program is
the eight C's; character, competitiveness,
competence, consistency, cohesiveness,
commitment,
communication
and
confidence. When teaching the game to
his players, Larranaga uses a four step
process;
demonstration,
imitation,
correction and repetition. Additional
teaching categories include guarding an
open player, defensive transition and
defensive philosophy. Larranaga shows
and explains many drills that are part of his
daily practices. The second part of
Larranaga's instruction focuses on
defense. The main George Mason
defense is man-to-man, with the scramble
as a secondary defense. A combination of
the two is a series of zones that he calls
the
Camouflage,
which
is
used
strategically as a surprise defense that
forces the offense to react to the defense.
Once the opponent gets used to a
man-to-man and the scramble, the
Camouflage defense puts them on their
heels immediately. Included are three core
drills for this defense. In a bonus section,
the Camouflage and its teaching points
are shown with players in a full court
setting. Each pass, trap, deflection and
player responsibility is analyzed. Two sets
of strategies are used; one in the
backcourt and one in the frontcourt.

3-2 DISRUPTING
CAMOUFLAGE, THE
With Jim Larranaga
Coach Larranaga outlines the components
of George Mason basketball and why this
foundation is so important to the bigger
3-2 EXTENDED MATCHMATCH-UP
ZONE
With Keno Davis
Offense leads to defense in Coach Davis'
system. By running specific lanes on the
court, players wind up on the proper
defensive side of the floor and are ready to
defend quickly. This successful spread 3-2
match up sets up by converting from
offense to defense quickly. Davis stresses
that this zone is built on solid fundamental
man-to-man principles. Ball pressure
depends on the shooting ability of the
opponent's perimeter players. Coverage
areas are key to being successful in the
3-2 match up. Areas include wing ball
coverage, ball pressure, weak side help,
inside and outside rebounding areas,
block responsibilities, corner trapping,
post double down with 4 and 5 and corner
coverage with mismatches. To build this
defense, Davis demonstrates the use of
active hands and communication and
includes drill work to reinforce this
principle. One offensive strategy is
screening against the zone. Specific
coverage and teaching points allow this
defense to cover any on ball screening
action. The 3-2 match up can defend set
plays and baseline runner, dribble out,
two-guard front and high post coverage.

3-3-5 STACK DEFENSE, THE:
THE:
3-3 STACK COVERAGES
With Steve Specht
Coach Specht wanted his defense to be
able to leverage receivers, which is why
he uses the 3-3 Stack system. This is a
matching zone philosophy because all
players play a match up zone. His 'Fire
and Storm' coverages enable the defense
to play tighter, outside leverage man
coverage on the widest receivers while
playing a tight match up zone underneath.
It also allows additional pressure on the
quarterback without putting too much
pressure on secondary defenders. With
the popularity of the spread offense, this
defense makes it possible to play tighter
coverage, but rushing only three or four
defenders. Specht details the key teaching
points of the Fire Coverage's rules and
responsibilities. Other topics covered are 3
x 1 coverage adjustments, weak side blitz,
2 x 2 and 2 x 2 motion. Storm coverage is
similar to Fire, except only four rushers are
involved instead of five. Specht also
discusses rules and responsibilities for
Cover 2. In conclusion, progression drills
are diagrammed and explained for this
defensive system.

THE:
3-3 STACK STUNTS &
BLITZES
With Steve Specht
Coach Specht has had great successful
with the 3-3 and his stunts and blitzes add
strength to the system. The four-man
game is coupled with the 'Storm' coverage
and the five-man game is matched to the
'Fire' coverage. As the Strong Edge Storm
is diagrammed, each player's role is
discussed and adjustments in the 2-2
coverage are highlighted. 'Strong nasty' is
a call where the end loops to the C gap
while the jet blitzes underneath in the B
gap. A coverage that has been successful
in Cover 2 is called 'Sick Em Spy', which
puts a lot of pressure on the quarterback.
A pressure blitz package is available when
six or seven rushers are needed to
pressure the offense. On 'Iowa strong web'
the will backer blitzes the B gap. The
information presented on the rush and
blitzes will bolster the basic 3-3 defense
that has been a winning combination for
Coach Specht's teams.

3-3-5 BOMBER DEFENSE
Duration
Copyright
Price
: 67 minutes
: 2008
: USD 59.99
With Steve Specht
This 3-3-5 defensive package has a
simple philosophy of playing out of an odd
front. The odd front is beneficial because
you can angle and slant into a reduction.
This defense also makes it easier to fit
personnel into the scheme and allows you
to adjust to formation. Ultimately, Coach
Specht likes to keep it simple and play fast.
With the 3-3-5 there can be five or six
defensive backs in the game at all times.
The base defensive alignment has the
ends head up on the tackles with the
backers stacked up behind the down
lineman. The safeties will align 7 yards
deep to the shade of the tight end. The
secondary creates an illusion that you are
five across and 7 yards deep. The key
feature of this defense is the "adjuster,"
who moves around a lot and is usually the
most complete player on the team. Against
the Spread, the Jet and Will backer move
on the line, giving it a five-man look. Other
adjustments Specht covers are the
'Sparrow', 'Bluff', 'Falcon', 'I Bluff' and
'Ninja' front. This DVD is jammed with
diagrams and teaching points for this
highly effective defensive scheme.

35 DRILLS FOR
DEVELOPING BALL SKILLS
SKILLS
With Dave Thorson
Focusing on skill development has
become a huge part of Coach Thorson's
coaching philosophy. Ball handling is the
first part of this improvement program.
Stationary two-ball drills allow the player to
feel and correct the difference in strength
between hands. Moving two-ball drills help
players advance their skills quickly. Being
explosive is the key to lay-in drills and
helps the player learn four finishes at the
rim. Offensive moves depend on the catch
and sweep technique. The 5 and 5 drill
includes two players, with one player
executing the skill five times in a row. A
passing technique, the punch, is taught
and is demanded in all drills. Next is a post
feed drill, requiring players to fake, cover
ground and post feed. On the shot fake,
Thorson teaches "ball up, body down."
Catch and stick is the next 5 and 5 drill
and works on elbow shooting. In two man
groups, Thorson shares the partner pass
drill and the Euro Cut. Sinking to the level
of the ball is taught to ensure the ball
handler has many passing options. This is
illustrated in the rip-through series. Other
drills include the two-chair dribble series,
the skate series, double moves and
shooting drills. Skills in this DVD can be
used to improve player skills with and
without the coach present.

Coach Montgomery uses his diverse
coaching experience in college and the
NBA to present ideas for set plays and
drills for all coaches to help their teams.
He begins with his thoughts and
differences between the college and the
NBA game. From there he moves into his
3-minute drill instruction. These intense
practice drills work on dribble skills,
different kinds of passes to make under
pressure, how to be physical and go after
rebounds and a 2-on-2 drill that focuses
on dribbling, pivoting and passing.
Montgomery shifts gears and calls on his
NBA experience and shares a number of
excellent out-of-bounds plays. Plays
include
screen-the-screener,
which
includes the "step-up" screen and includes
many options and alterations. A counter
play is "10," which keeps the defense from
cheating toward the main screening action.
"One get" ends in a quick ball screen and
penetration
to
the
lane.
Side
out-of-bounds plays come from the stack,
1-4 high or box sets. Montgomery also
demonstrates several side out-of-bounds
players that can yield quick baskets.

3-OUT, 22-IN ZONE OFFENSE
With Jamie Dixon
Attacking the zone starts with getting the
ball inside the zone. Coach Dixon puts a
premium on post players that can catch,
pass and make plays in traffic. The first
drill is a shooting drill from the baseline to
simulate playing against a zone. Priorities
are catch, rim, partner, throw opposite and
dive.
Perimeter
breakdown
is
accomplished by playing 3-on-0 on the
perimeter. The point, wings and corners
can all be filled by guards. Penetration is a
big part of attacking zones and Dixon
teaches one hard dribble and jump stop
into the zone. In a 5-on-0 alignment, the
zone offense is demonstrated using many
of the options that Dixon teaches. The
short corner is a vulnerable spot on the

floor for the defense and can be exploited
in this offense. The high post is also an
excellent area for the offense. The on ball
screen on the perimeter can create
penetration into zone gaps causing
coverage problems for the defense. Set
plays are used early in the possession to
create movement and flows into the main
zone offensive attack. The benefit of this
zone offense is that it takes advantage of
areas where the zone is weak and makes
it work by using ball and player movement.

Agnes Varda used the skills she honed
early in her career as a photographer to
create some of the most nuanced,
thought-provoking films of the past fifty
years. She is widely believed to have
presaged the French new wave with her
first film, La Pointe Courte, long before
creating one of the movement's
benchmarks, Cleo from 5 to 7. Later, with
Le bonheur and Vagabond, Varda further
shook
up
art-house

challenging bourgeois codes with her
inscrutable characters and effortlessly
beautiful compositions and editing. Now
working largely as a documentarian, Varda
remains one of the essential cinematic

40 MINUTES OF HELL (VOL.
(VOL.
2)
With Mike Anderson
Hard play and pressure defense are the
backbone of Coach Anderson's teams.
Stance, hands, balance and closeness to
the offensive player are very important
principles to Anderson. Using an overhead,
Anderson diagrams his defensive system.
Ball pressure, anticipation, rotation and
trapping are key terms in this system. On
ball pressure, trapping corners on the
baseline, making the sideline an extra
man, using the half court line, trap with
opportunity, and rotation round out the
keys to this defensive. The progression of
this defense starts with 1-on-1 defense by
using the zig-zag drill. The run-and-jump
can be added to the 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 drill.
Other practice drills shared by Anderson
show transition situations, sliding drills,
2-on-2, run and jump and 4-on-4. Areas
covered, many of which are reinforced
with game clips, are full court pressure,
trapping, and half court man pressure.

Coach Hibbs knows that baserunning is a
major piece of maintaining a successful
baseball program. The goal is to maximize
on base opportunities by stretching an
extra base out of many situations. He
begins with instruction on running from
home plate. The teaching point is to make
the transition from hitter to base runner as
quickly as possible. The dynamics of
baserunning changes when the runner is
on first base. Hibbs breaks down the
strategies involved in running from first
and teaches how to get to second and
third base. The lead is also a crucial
element in running from first and second.
Many strategies are introduced for running
from third base. Hibbs covers tag plays by
examining
many
different
running
situations. Once around the bases, Hibbs
concludes by taking a look at drills and
game situations.

The UNCC pitching staff was named the
#1 staff in all of college baseball in 2007.
Their cutting-edge expertise is packed into
this DVD on the art of pitching. Coach Hall,
on the mound, demonstrates the
technique of using the rubber, taking signs,
rocker step, rocker to balance 3-point
movement, balance to power and power to
delivery. Pitching out of the stretch is a skill
taught in detail. Hall believes in three
goals in the set-up; create a downhill plane,
maximize velocity and put pitchers in the
position to allow them to do the same thing
every day. To relieve pressure on the arm,
Hall instructs through dry drills. This keeps
pitchers sharp without throwing every day.
With the ball, a good drill is the hand
extension and spin drill. Kneeling drills put
pitchers on a knee to emphasize power
and finish. Other drills include the square
drill, stretch stride and stretch stride to
balance. The 60-foot and 90-foot toss drill
focuses on footwork and throwing. This
drill works out to the player's maximum
distance. Crow hop, arm action, and grips
complete the drill catalog.

Excellent infield players progressively

techniques combine to make up a total
player. Coach Durkac breaks down his
fielding instruction into three areas: get to
the ball as quickly as possible, catch and
secure the ball, and throw the ball. First
step quickness is the key to solid fielding.
To achieve that skill, Durkac teaches
proper touchdown technique, which is the
point where both feet make contact with
the ground to field the ball. He also shows
drop step technique that helps players
handle all three types of hoppers. The two
quick shuffles technique is taught as an
approach skill prior to fielding the ball.
Three throws are used when making
double plays, and are demonstrated in this
presentation. The rake and making plays

The main motion is 41 and puts the post
on the block as four players play around
him. The beauty of this system is that all of
your practice time is spent on man-to-man
defense and motion offense. A good
example of this is a competitive 4-on-4 no
dribble drill. Without the dribble, the
offense must use good set-ups and cuts to
get open. One component of motion is
post play. This motion incorporates a
single low post and a four-man diving to
the basket on all post catches. Painter
teaches the four-man to cut hard and
execute a post screen, a seal on the weak
side. Painter teaches his motion as if the
defense is switching. This guarantees that
his team is always prepared to face any
kind of defense. Screeners and cutters
work together to get shooters open. The
varieties of screens include the back
screen, flare screen, down screen and
post screen. On the floor, Painter puts
players in situations to show the multiple
options that are available with this motion

Coach Greenberg says that offense is not
about what is fashionable, but functional.
He believes it's not about what you do but
how you do it. Part of an offensive attack is
to determine slides and positions for each
player when the ball is penetrated. The
most important part of developing an
offense is the ability to get open. Every
offense needs pressure releases to beat
pressure man-to-man. The 'slice offense'
is based on forming a triangle on one side
of the floor followed by a post cross screen
and a high-low look. When the ball is
reversed the next action is a shuffle cut to
the open block. As the ball is reversed the
action includes a back screen and a
double screen for a shooter. Greenberg
stresses that post players must "lift" up the
floor and seek the ball after screening.
Every cut, dribble and screen has a
purpose that leads to scoring. Dribble
hand-offs can be added at various times
within this offense. The key to the 'slice
offense' is to attack the defense in the full
court and half court. Greenberg walks
players through their secondary offense as
well, which has several options to score.

BASKETBALL
BASKETBALL
With Dick Bennett
Players learn and execute by what
specifics the coach teaches and what is
emphasized. Coach Bennett's list of what
he emphasizes includes intangibles,
convert to defense, rebound on defense
and sureness with the ball. Intangible
areas begin with humility - the knowledge
of self vs. what others think he is. Passion
is a focus toward the task ahead with a
total commitment. Unity, which comes
from scripture, is the true way to greatness.
Servant hood is a trademark of the way
Bennett likes the game played and
screening, being in the right place and
passing are all skills that exemplify servant
hood. Thankfulness is another intangible
in Bennett's system. Progress comes from
acceptance of losing and how it is handled.
A loss of poise, consistency, focus are
indicators that players must avoid and can
be accomplished with being true to the five
intangibles. Teaching areas that make up
Coach Bennett's coaching philosophy are
fundamentals, roles on offense, stopping
penetration and recovering and trapping
the post. Drills are demonstrated to
illustrate intangibles and to aid in teaching
them - which is the core and focal point of
this excellent DVD.

seven players in coverage and can handle
any formation with minor adjustments.
Linebackers are the backbone of this
defense, having to stop the run and the
pass. In terms of cover schemes, a coach
must determine the ratio of rushers to
pass defenders. Secondly, players must
have designated areas to defend or be
assigned man-to-man responsibilities.

Inclusion of students with disabilities at all
levels is a challenge, one that has been
intensified by the mandates of NCLB and
the reauthorized IDEA. More specifically,
NCLB states that students with disabilities
will be counted in calculation of annual
yearly progress, and thus must be
proficient in curriculum content; and IDEA
'04 states that special education teachers
must have certification in specific content
areas in order to be highly qualified to
provide self-contained instruction to
students with disabilities.
These two legislative actions have a
tremendous impact on teachers, schools,
families and, most importantly, secondary
students with disabilities. Furthermore,
they make it essential for secondary
teachers to know what is working in
effective, inclusive schools across the
country.
This DVD features Dr. Lisa Dieker,
Associate Professor, author and nationally
acclaimed teacher trainer, whose work
over the last 15 years has focused on two
aspects of inclusion of secondary students
with middle to moderate disabilities: 1)
The philosophy, structure, climate and
instruction in secondary schools that are
embracing the needs of students with
disabilities in inclusive settings 2) The role
of effective teams of teachers in
co-teaching secondary environments at
the middle and high school level.
This exciting and practical program is
specifically designed for those educators
who are either developing or currently
working to include students with mild to
moderate
disabilities
in secondary
classrooms.
The viewer will:
Understand the key components of
effective
secondary
inclusive
instruction
Learn practical ideas to meet the
needs of a range of learners
Observe interdisciplinary teams of
teachers address issues such as
instruction, curricular development
and grading
Learn how secondary schools are

An Apache holy man tells them of lost
Spanish gold, torn from the heart of the
Guachapa Mountains centuries ago and
guarded by seven Jesuit priests who died
and were mummified to protect the
Tumacacori treasure forever. Lured by the
promise of unimaginable wealth, the group
stumbles into the old frontier town at dusk
to seek their fortune... but soon discovers
that taking the gold won't be so easy.
Forced to confront the town's mysterious
sheriff and his two deadly deputies, the
convicts must also battle the unholy
walking dead remains of the town's
population -- slaughtered by the seven
mummies who are willing to spill anyone's
blood to protect their terrifying secret!

7 WAYS TO DEVELOP A
DEFENSIVE MINDSET
With Larry Shyatt
Developing habits through consistent daily
reinforcement is a major key towards
developing a defensive mindset. The
priorities of your program must be a part of
your player's knowledge of the game. At
Florida they use overload drills to make it
difficult on the defense by adding extra
offensive players. One of the keys in
practice, and then in games, is forcing
your team to holler, not talk . "early, loud
and continuous" is the teaching point for
player communication on the floor! Coach
Shyatt demonstrates the defense drills
that have made them a great team. Drill
topics include guarding the ball, position
defense using the rope, pass denial,
guarding dribble penetration, post defense,
defense transition, 4 on 3 scramble,
trapping and full court lay-ups.

8 PRINCIPLES FOR GREAT
GREAT
LINEBACKER PLAY
With Reggie Johnson
Coach Johnson's defensive philosophy is
to win with great technique, discipline and
pure hustle. Here he describes his eight
key principles of linebacker play. These
areas include stance, alignment, keying,
responsibility, blow delivery, tackling, play
coverage and pressuring the quarterback.
He begins with general thoughts regarding
technique, which is described as the
specific details of the linebacker position.
Stance is the first major fundamental of
great linebacker play. Feet apart, toes
ahead, balanced weight and hands ready
are keys. Keying is a skill taught by
Johnson and alerts the player to read eyes
and movement on the snap of the ball. In
great detail, blow delivery is taught using
eight skill components. Defending the
pass for linebackers is broken down into
zone, fire zone and man coverage. Lastly,
Johnson covers the art of pressuring the
quarterback and blitzing, which is what
makes linebackers valuable to the team's
defensive attack. Using practice footage,
Johnson illustrates how his teaching
techniques are carried out on the field.

8-STEP PLAN FOR DEAD
BALL SITUATIONS, THE
With Missy Meharg
Coach Meharg's concept is based on
setting the field hockey field up as a grid.
This is done for three reasons; for
teaching, statistics and ball patterns.
Meharg divides the field into four areas:
the attack quarter of the field, attacking
middie quarter, defensive middie quarter
and the defensive quarter. From there the
field is divided vertically into zones 1, 2
and 3, with 3 being the outside areas. The
same concept goes for the area around
the goal for goalkeepers. To aid visual
learners, Meharg uses a Subbuteo board
to divide the field visually and to show
each of the steps in detail. The eight steps
begin with defense in the attacking quarter,
followed by defense in the midfield and
into the circle. Step 4 deals with defensive
penalty corners. Step 5 and 6 focus on
attack out of the defensive quarter and
attacking in the midfield. The final two
steps are the attack into the circle and
attacking penalty corners. Each step is
carefully broken down and analyzed by
Meharg. Finally, the use of actual game
video shared in this excellent instructional
DVD allows you to see game applications
of this strategic 8-step plan!

9/11 HIJACKERS, THE:
INSIDE THE HAMBURG
CELL
Featuring incisive commentary from
highly-placed officials and experts.
See what transformed a group of
students into history's most infamous
terrorists.
Probes the hidden story of the 9/11
attacks.
For years, they remained nearly invisible,
a small group of dedicated men waiting for
the perfect chance to strike. Then, on
September 11, 2001, after five years of
preparation, they took action. Now, the full
story and the details of their ambitious
plan have come to light.
THE 9/11 HIJACKERS tracks the progress
of the unassuming college students who
became religious martyrs. These men,
now known as the Hamburg Cell, were
responsible for the cultivation of the
al-Qaeda plot code-named "the planes
operation". The group's leaders were four
well-educated Muslim men who shared a
common belief in radical Islam. Though
Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Ziad
Jarrah, and Ramzi Binalshibh hailed from
different countries--Egypt, the United Arab
Emirates, Lebanon, Yemen--a spirit of
brotherhood prevailed among them. And
in time, they committed to a singular
purpose--to translate their religious
fanaticism into catastrophic action.

9494-FOOT MOTION OFFENSE,
THE
With Mike Brey
Coach Brey shares the reasons the have
helped his teams become potent, high
scoring clubs. He focuses on early offense
that flows from the full court into half court
offense without hesitation. Brey calls this
system "Full Court Motion" and the key is
to put the pressure on the defense at all
times. Audibles are used in the flow of
transition. "Cross" is an audible that
swings the wings as post players set
screens for them. "Shaping up" is a key
teaching point for post players after they
screen in transition. This action presents
four possible passing options for the point
guard. The "shallow audible" will free up a
shooter by screening for him with both
post players. Against zone defense, the
"circle audible" is very effective. The point
guard can call for a high ball screen by a
post as the ball is being advanced. This
system can be coordinated on the floor by
the players as they push the ball down the
floor. In the half court, Brey demonstrates
several entries into motion offense. Entries
include loop, two, two cross and six. Full
court motion is versatile, adaptable and
unpredictable. By using audibles in
transition, each possession is unique and
plays to the strengths of your team!

ABUSING
OVEROVER-THETHE-COUNTER
DRUGS
Drug abuse isn’t limited to illicit drugs.
Many OTC (over-the-counter) drugs are
misused by kids—from cold remedies to
pain killers to diet pills. This program
explores the most common abuses of
OTC drugs and shows the chemical,
biological and psychological damage that
can result from abusing these ordinary
drugs. Particular attention is paid to DXM,
the powerful medication linked to recent
deaths of young people across the country.
DXM is a legal drug found in many OTCs,
but it has the same qualities as drugs
considered much more dangerous like
heroin. The cold tablet form of this drug is
the basis of a new and dangerous form of
OTC drug abuse called skittling, which can
also result in coma or even death. The
dangers of this kind of abuse are brought
home through the tragic story of Jennifer
Darling, a high school student whose
apparent experimentation with the drug
was a cause in her own death. Students
will also hear a no-nonsense message
from a district attorney describing the
severe legal consequences teens can
receive if found driving or committing a
crime while under the influence of these
substances. The program also teaches
viewers how to carefully read and
understand OTC drug labels for active
ingredients and potential overdosage.

One of the most scathing indictments of
American culture ever produced by a
Hollywood
filmmaker,
Academy
Award-winner Billy Wilder's Ace in the
Hole is legendary for both its cutting social
critique and its status as a hard-to-find cult
classic. Kirk Douglas gives the fiercest
performance of his career as Chuck Tatum,
an amoral newspaper reporter caught in
dead-end Albuquerque who happens upon
the story of a lifetime-and will do anything
to ensure he gets the scoop. Wilder's
follow- up to Sunset Boulevard is an even
darker vision, a no-holds-barred expose
that anticipated the rise of the American
media circus.

ACL INJURY
INJURY PREVENTION
FOR FEMALE ATHLETES
With Alan Stein
Females are four to eight times as likely to
tear their ACL as their male counterparts.
The highest rate of incidence occurs with
young women from 15-25 years of age
that play sports that require quick change
of direction, pivoting and jumping. Coach
Stein's ACL injury prevention program
focuses on safety, technique/form,
footwork, low athletic stance, slow
movement strength training, repetitions,
time efficiency and productivity. Stein
believes that agility and footwork training proper landing, jumping, starting and
stopping mechanics - can prevent injuries.
When an athlete lands, the weight needs
to be equally distributed within the foot,
promoting soft landings. Other key items
to watch for are enhanced balance,
body/joint
awareness,
movement
technique,
and
muscle
strength
(especially the hamstring). There are two
main non-contact mechanisms that have
been identified; planting/cutting and
straight knee landing. Dynamic flexibility
and plyometrics are the ideal way to
prepare your athletes for competition, and
reduce injury. Next is a look at exercises in
the weight that add strength and durability
in athletes. Stein also shares various
symptoms of ACL injuries; guidelines are
the same for women as they are for men.

ACTING ONE, DAY ONE
With Robert Cohen
Best selling theater textbook author
Robert Cohen (University of California)
describes and illustrates his four basic
principles of acting. He employs a simple
exercise in which students first recite the
American Pledge of Allegiance, then learn
to act this text as part of a dramatic
situation. These four points (Goal, Other
People, Tactics, Expectations) are an
essential starting point for the study of all
acting methods and styles.

DISTRESS
Acute respiratory distress is one of the
more challenging patient care scenarios
that the basic EMT (BLS Technician)
encounters. Why? Because of two primary
reasons: First, aggressive BLS care is
what will save the severely compromised
patient; the kind of care provided by pretty
much every EMT anywhere. Second, after
providing solid live-saving aggressive
therapy to compensate for inadequate
tidal volume or other problems, the BLS

Attacking pressure defense is all about
aggressiveness and allowing your team to
get after opponents by extending the full
court or in the half court. Basic drills allow
a foundation for committing to this style of
defensive play and work on "fake a pass to
make a pass," creating deflections,
offensive
spacing
and
rebounding
technique through "tag and pursue" (a
variation of the conventional block out)
and swim and spin. The next phase of this
DVD is inbounding the basketball. Using
the clinic setting, players demonstrate
various options and techniques for getting
the ball in. Face guarding creates the skill
of "walking to the baseline" for a pass over
the top. The 5-on-5 setting displays all of
these teaching techniques in a team
setting. "Four" is an attack against full
court pressure that assures a safe
possession against the press. The half
court 5-on-5 blitz, "flash," is an effective
offensive attack against pressure.

AFGHAN WOMEN: A
HISTORY
HISTORY OF STRUGGLE
AFRICAN STUDIES: NIGER
NIGER
1 - EXPLORING NIGER
Directed by Kathleen Foster
One of the poorest and hottest countries in
the world, Niger is also one of the most
fascinating countries in West Africa.
Divided into three geographic regions, with
the ever-spreading Sahara Desert as part
of its northern section, this African republic
of over 12 million is mostly known for its
constant struggle to properly feed its
people; however, despite these difficulties,
Niger understands the economic benefits
of tourism and welcomes the opportunity
to partner with the world community. In this
insightful program, producer Daniel Balluff
enlists the aid of local guides and shows
us that Niger is a perfect "off the beaten
path" destination for adventurous travelers,
complete with beautiful landscapes, a
wide variety of cultures, and exotic wildlife,
including a rare, wild giraffe colony, and
the vast W Game Park, which is filled with
protected African animals.
The tumultuous history of Afghanistan
from the perspective of the country's
female population, Afghan Women: A
History of Struggle chronicles the stories
of women who have risked their lives to
achieve political, economic, and social
equality, from the early 1970s to the
present day.
Rare archival footage illustrates the
amazing
stories
of
women
who
participated in the revolutionary movement
of the 1970's and the years of political
turmoil that followed: from proxy war, to
civil war, to the ensuing oppressive rule of
the Taliban and the current sway of
regional warlords and general instability.
These women shed light on the cold war
battle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R
that was played out on Afghan soil, and
the CIA’s role in the creation of terrorist
groups on the Pakistan-Afghan border that
plague the world today.
The film goes inside a women's prison. It
records the drafting of an Afghan Women’s
Bill of Rights by women from across
Afghanistan at a conference in Kandahar.
In scenes like these women debunk the
commonly held myth that the U.S.
intervention and the fall of the Taliban
government brought Afghan women
freedom.
Directed by Kathleen Foster (Point of
Attack), Afghan Women is an important
film that explores the role women play in
developing nations.
Reviews
“At last, a concise, well-made
documentary chronicling the history of
women's struggle for their rights in
Afghanistan.
Excellent
historic
footage of pre-Taliban and Soviet-era
Afghanistan. Filmmaker Kathleen
Foster casts her journalistic eye to
provide insight and a holistic view of
the history of the Afghan women’s
movement.” – Nadai Hablika, MESA
FilmFest Coordinator
“...provides a sharp yet concise
analysis on the tumultuous history of
the country itself, with particular focus
on the negative repercussions that
US military intervention has had on
women’s rights in the country.
Drawing a line from the Cold War to
the ‘War on Terror,’ Foster challenges
viewers to examine how Afghan
women have continually borne the
dual costs of American imperial
ambitions on the one side, and the
barbarity of feudal warlords on the
other.” - Prerana Reddy, Director of
Public Events, Queens Museum of Art

AFRICAN STUDIES: NIGER
NIGER
2 - LIVING ON THE EDGE OF
SURVIVAL - LEVEL 1
Niger is a landlocked country in West
Africa, which constantly struggles with the
problems of overpopulation and food
shortages. One of the poorest countries in
the world, Niger is often the focus of
controversy as to how world organizations
handle food crises. In this program,
independent filmmaker Daniel Balluff
presents an eye-opening look at this
fascinating
African
republic,
while
objectively examining the reasons for
cyclical food shortage and exploring
potential
solutions
proposed
by
development and relief experts living in
Niger.

AFTER THE STORM: THE
AMERICAN EXILE OF BELA
BELA
BARTOK
“It’s as though we’ve been caught in a
storm at sea and blown to shore with no
more than the clothes on our backs.” So
wrote the great Hungarian composer Bela
Bartok (1881- 1945) on his arrival in New
York in 1940, after losing his luggage on
the voyage from war-torn Europe and
finding himself sadly lost in an unfamiliar
culture. He was to spend the last years of
his life there, fighting sickness, poverty
and failure. Nevertheless, consoled by the
cycles of nature, his last five years
produced some of his greatest and most
moving music.
In this film many of the composer’s friends
and colleagues, including Yehudi Menuhin
and Georg Solti, join his sons Peter and
Bela Jr to tell the story of these last years
of exile. The music is performed by the
Budapest Symphony Orchestra conducted
by Ervin Lukacs and Sir Georg Solti, with
Gyorgy Sandor (piano) and Laszlo
Barsony (viola).
Reviews
“An affecting portrait of a composer,
who, they say, rarely smiled and
spoke little but - in the words of Georg
Solti - had the aura of a holy man.”
-The Guardian
“A detailed and often revealing portrait
of the last five years of the
composer’s life.” -The Times

ALIEN SIEGE
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Brad Johnson, Carl
Weathers, Erin Ross, Lilas Lane
DIRECTOR(S): Robert Stadd
An advanced race of aliens descends
upon Earth with a single goal - the blood of
eight million humans to save their own
dying planet. The aliens have planted a
doomsday device over the North Pole, and
if the Earth doesn't supply enough victims,
they'll activate it and destroy the planet.
However, if the Earth does comply, the
device will become a power supply
capable of meeting all of its needs for the
next 300 years. Every country in the world
must surrender some citizens, and the
United States begins a lottery system.
Anyone unlucky enough to be chosen is
dead within 24 hours, rendered into liquid,
which is then sent back to the alien world.
One scientist, Steven Chase, whose
daughter is chosen for the lottery, decides
to fight rather than surrender his only child.
Suddenly he must race against time to find
the aliens' weakness as the invaders
decide to abandon their agreement and
simply harvest humans at will, leaving
death and destruction in their wake.

ALL ABOUT EE-PORTFOLIOS
Multimedia, it's claimed, is the future for
teaching and learning. The government's
plan is for every school student in the
country to have an e-portfolio by this year.
But what are e-portfolios? How do they
work? This new documentary film explains
the benefits and problems - and, most
importantly, shows e-portfolios being used
at the sharp end.
In Wolsingham School, Co. Durham, every
student has an e-Portfolio. They're like
mini websites, stored on the school's
network. They use them as multimedia
CVs and also to store their work.
Meanwhile students and tutors at
Wolverhampton University are also using
e-Portfolios - but they're using them to
communicate online, too.
An important benefit, staff and pupils say,
is the opportunity for students to reflect on
their
learning.
They
take
more
responsibility for their learning. In some
cases they improve their literacy skills
because
multi-media
gives
them
interesting outlet for their writing.
The technology offers them a better
chance to organise their work and also to
capture evidence of their work than just
relying on text.
Teachers can follow students' progress
with greater ease - and students have
evidence of their work that they can use to
help them get jobs or places in
universities.
But are there problems, too. What about
"the digital divide", where students can be
at a disadvantage if they don't have a
computer at home or don't get on with the
technology?
Are there issues of data security and
privacy?
Should
e-portfolios
be
compulsory? And how can such major
projects be tackled when teachers are
already so busy?
The film is designed to be used both for
teaching students and as an information
resource for staff.

Back in the day, "Dub Ridaz" was one of
the hottest crews in Hip-Hop, but the days
of platinum records, sold-out shows and
fly females are nothing but a memory. Now
with no record deal and fading skills,
they're forced to make a living flipping
burgers and working other dead-end jobs.
But Chances, the leader of the crew, and
his boys are fed up and ready to get back
in the game. Hooking up with a new record
label that hatches a wild publicity stunt to
promote the new Dub Ridaz album, it's a
race against the clock for the group to pull
off the PR scheme, pay back an old debt
and make a hit record. The stakes are high,
the odds are against them and all lies are
on the Dub Ridaz in this hilarious Hip-Hop
comedy!

ALL MY BABIES
DIRECTOR(S): George C. Stoney
This beautiful film is the story of "Miss
Mary" Coley, an African-American midwife
more than half a century ago in rural
Georgia. Conceived as a demonstration
film for illiterate "granny" midwives, its
production sponsored by the Georgia
Department of Public Health, All My
Babies quickly transcended its initial
purpose. It was used around the world by
UNESCO and has become an enduring
classic of non-fiction film. All My Babies
was written, produced and directed by
George C. Stoney in close collaboration
with Mrs. Coley as well as with local public
health doctors and nurses, and shows the
preparation for and home delivery of
healthy babies in both relatively good and
bad rural conditions among black families
at that time. The film is in addition both a
deeply respectful portrait of "Miss Mary,"
who is revealed as an inspiring human
being, and a record of the actual living
conditions of her patients.

DIRECTOR(S): Stephen Judson
In the air above Switzerland, on the sheer
rock- and-ice wall known as the Eiger, an
American climber is about to embark on
the most perilous and meaningful ascent
he has ever undertaken: an attempt to
scale the legendary mountain that took his
renowned father's life. Against a backdrop
of overwhelming natural beauty,The Alps
is a true-life story of extraordinary courage.
It's the intensely personal journey of a
man who has every reason not to climb
the deadly Eiger North Face (the most
difficult climb in Europe), yet climb it he
must.
Featuring some of the most spectacular
giantscreen imagery yet seen, the film
celebrates the unsurpassed beauty of the
Alps and the indomitable spirit of the
people who live there.

Embraced by a growing number of
practitioners, hypnotherapy is used to treat
everything from phobias to allergies. But
does it really work? This program tackles
the question with the help of medical
science and researchers. Led by science
education specialist Dr. Kathy Sykes, the
program focuses on the two main
components of hypnosis, trance and
suggestion.
Sykes
examines
the
neurological aspects of trance using brain
scans, and peers into the minds of people
given suggestions both under and without
hypnosis. She also meets a physician who
has pioneered hypnotherapy for Irritable
Bowel Syndrome sufferers and a dental
patient who agrees to jaw surgery under
hypnosis
rather
than
anesthesia.

reflexology originated in the 1930s, then
moves to Florida, where the actual term
for the practice was coined. Studying

AMENDMENTS TO THE
CONSTITUTION, THE: BILL
BILL
OF RIGHTS AND BEYOND
Much of the success of the U.S.
Constitution can be attributed to the way
the document has changed to meet the
needs of the American people. Since 1787,
27 proposed amendments have been
ratified, and they tell some of the most
important stories in American political,
social, and cultural
history. This
comprehensive three-part series explores
each amendment, its origins, its real-world
applications, its history of interpretation in
the nation’s courts, and its implications for
the future. Combining computer graphics,
original live-action program, historical
artwork, and archival footage with
narration and interviews, each program
reveals an important chapter in the
ongoing history of the U.S. Constitution.

AMERICAN FAIR
By Rick Widmer
American Fair is an intimate study of the
hard-working farmers of York County,
Maine, facing a vanishing way of life, their
knowledge of land and beast, commitment
to
tradition
and
community
interdependent and pulling together.
At the 140th fair in Acton, farmers
congregate in the spirit of both
co-operation and rivalry. Families show off
their finest handicrafts, agricultural
produce
and
livestock.
Teamsters
compete to see whose animal is the
strongest and whose daughter the most
beautiful. Through the voices of farmers
and townspeople, vendors and carnival
workers, a portrait of a community joining
together in celebration of the honest,
hard-working agricultural traditions of the
region is revealed. Fathers and sons,
knowledge of land and beast, carnival
workers and strange stories, country girls,
ox-pulling, dairy showing, beauty pageants,
a pig scramble and more! This
feature-length ethnographic documentary
quietly reveals the agricultural heritage of
the region and opens our eyes to a
wholesome side of American culture - as
people of the earth.

AMERICAN RULING CLASS,
CLASS,
THE
A dramatic, musical, documentary satire
on class in America that attempts to
answer the question 'Who rules America?'
The American Ruling Class is one of the
most unusual films to be made in America
in recent years -- both in terms of form and
content.
The
form
is
a
"dramatic-documentary-musical" and the
content is our country's most taboo topic:
class, power and privilege in our nominally
democratic republic.
At bottom the film is a morality tale, the
story of two Yale students (played by
Harvard men) who seek their opportunities
upon graduation. As the renowned
essayist, author and longtime Harper's
magazine editor Lewis Lapham conducts
them through the corridors of power:
Pentagon press briefings, the World
Economic
Forum,
philanthropic
foundations, Washington law firms,
corporations, banks, the Council on
Foreign Relations, and New York society
dinners--our two representative graduates
"one rich and the other not so rich" must
struggle with their responsibilities in "a
world collaterally damaged by the magic of
money and the miracles of science." The
real-life luminaries they meet on their
journey become characters in a story
about power, its responsibilities and
abuses.
All the while "the Mighty Wurlitzer" plays
on, a reference to the massive
propaganda apparatus invented by the
CIA's Frank Wisner, here used to signify
the nocturnal philosophy of acquisition and
imperial hubris which continually calls to
the young men, the siren song of careerist
myopia that was bred into their bones at
school.
As we watch these two young men wend
their way through what is only a slight
fictionalization of their actual lives and
choices, as we meet former Secretaries of
State and Defense, directors of the
Trilateral Commission and the Council on
Foreign Relations, the publisher of The
New York Times, Kurt Vonnegut, Howard
Zinn, Barbara Ehrenreich, Robert Altman
and a host of others, we have to ask along
with Mr. Lapham: "To what end the genius
of the Wall Street banks and the force of
the Pentagon's colossal weapons? Where
does America discover the wisdom to play
with its wonderful toys?" The possible
answers move beyond the empty
distinction of party affiliation and into the
heart of American Oligarchy itself. By film's
end, the young men must decide: Should
they seek to rule the world, or to save it?
Appearing on the screen are a range of
leaders and commentators from across
the political spectrum, among them: the
late Robert B. Altman, James A. Baker III,
Bill Bradley, Harold Brown, Hodding Carter
III, William T. Coleman, Jr., Walter
Cronkite, Barbara Ehrenreich, Vartan
Gregorian, Doug Henwood, Mike Medavoy,
Joseph S. Nye, Jr., John Perkins, (a.k.a.,
the economic hit-man) Samuel Peabody,
Pete Seeger, Lawrence H. Summers,
Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr., William Howard
Taft IV, the late Kurt Vonnegut and Howard
Zinn.

it was to live on those earnings. She
discusses her findings here, which
culminate in a full-blown musical
number, in which employees sing
about being nickel-and-dimed. The
scene is divine madness…Ultimately,
The American Ruling Class feels like
a documentary version of The Wizard
of Oz as director John Kirby and
Lapham attempt to illuminate the
heart of darkness inside the American
political-economic machine. What
they find ain't pretty." -Mathew Hays,
Montreal Mirror
Reviews
"A brilliant documentary/comedy, part
Monty Python, part Michael Moore;
brings to life the question: Can one
join the power elite and yet work for
the public interest? Well worth
watching for the interviews with the
likes of James Baker and Hodding
Carter." -Joseph A. Soares, Author,
Power of Privilege: Yale and
America's Elite Colleges, Professor of
Sociology, Wake Forest University
"An amazingly good day for
documentaries also sees the premier
of
John
Kirby's
astonishing
documentary/drama/musical
(yes,
really) which also serves as a call to
arms for everyone to think about how
their actions will affect the future in
which we live. Narrated and written by
the wonderful, laconic Lewis Lapham,
this should not be missed." -Sarah
Hughes, The London Observer
"The American Ruling Class is the
most cinematically subversive film to
come along this decade. Led by the
extremely lucid and funny Lewis
Lapham, the nation's number one
intellectual treasure, the film takes us
on a luminous quest… Director John
Kirby has fashioned a sly film; it plays
with form, but is populist in outreach,
transcending
documentary
expectations with wit, style and
political savvy." -Peter Wintonick,
Director/Producer,
Manufacturing
Consent: Noam Chomsky and the
Media
"While fooling around with my TV,
seeking out the Cubs-Sox ball game, I
accidentally
encountered
a
remarkable
and
revelatory
documentary.
THE
AMERICAN
RULING CLASS k.o.'d me, telling
"ordinary" citizens who it is - or what
means are used - to run our
"democratic" society. The mentor of
two of the "heirs" just out of Yale
University, was Lewis Lapham, the
most hip and perceptive editor of all
our monthlies. It is an astonishing
program - but, more important, tells us
who really runs things.
P.S. I missed the Cubs-Sox game, nothing
was lost, much was gained."
-Studs Terkel
"[A] satirical tour thru the corridors of
power with Lewis Lapham…The film
takes on our political and financial
elites, the top of America's food chain,
but it's all for a purpose: to remind us
of those who are struggling just to
make ends meet." -Bill Moyers
"[An] entertaining documentary, The
American Ruling Class offers a
guided safari through the tribal haunts
of the power elite." -James Wolcott,
Vanity Fair
"The film's best moment comes with a
Barbara Ehrenreich interview. In the
late 90s Ehrenreich went undercover
to take on various low-wage jobs
(waitress, hotel chambermaid among
them) and then report on how difficult
"A very funny and fascinating search
for America's ruling class. ***1/2"
-Mark Rifkin, "This Week in New York"
"Lapham…with his easy charm and
Luciferian tendency to pop up out of
nowhere, injects every scene he's in
with sly humor." -Darrel Hartman, Yale
Alumni Magazine
"THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS
was a highlight of WFF's season. A
poignant look at what's both sublime
and sad about our country, made by
artists with genuine heart, brains, and
class." -Steve Lawson, Executive
Director, Williamstown Film Festival
Margaret Fuller, initially given expression
through The Dial, continue to shape the
discourse of literature, philosophy, and
religion in America. Divided into five
sections, this program traces the origins
and
defines
the
concept
of
Transcendentalism;
spotlights
key
landmarks in and around Concord, where
the Transcendental movement got its start;
and profiles Emerson, Thoreau, and Fuller
in depth. Readings from important
Transcendentalist texts support the
profiles, along with a dramatization of
Thoreau at Walden Pond by talented
impersonator Jeffrey Hyatt. Scholarly
commentary is provided by Lawrence
Buell, Robert Richardson, Joel Myerson,
Anna Marie Donahue, David Reynolds,
and Joan von Mehren.

a dozen apples, flour, maple syrup, and
eggs which I brought, all the cooking
'material,' utensils, and props were
discovered in the jumble. Objects which
functionally approximated actual cooking
utensils were used: nails, hammers, an
arrow, a flower pot, ball bearings, rags, a
watering can. The cook's apron was a
ripped mini skirt with which I covered my

By Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen
Laura Mulvey, co-written and co-directed
with Peter Wollen. Mulvey came to
prominence in the early 1970s with her
seminal essay Visual Pleasure and
Narrative Cinema. One of the most widely
cited and anthologized articles in the field
of contemporary film theory, this
groundbreaking
work
investigated
questions of spectatorial identification and
its relationship to the male gaze. With this
essay and other articles, Mulvey helped
establish feminist film theory as a
legitimate field of study.
AMY! (1980, 30 minutes) Amy Johnson
was the first woman to fly solo from Great
Britain to Australia. Mulvey and Wollen’s
experimental documentary
combines
newsreel footage of the aviator’s arrival,
dramatic recreations of events from her life
and contemporary discussions by feminist
groups on the subject of heroism in this
most unconventional biopic.
FRIDA KAHLO AND TINA MODOTTI
(1983,
29
minutes)
Originally
commissioned for an international art
exhibition this short film is an
unconventional portrait of painter Frida
Kahlo and photographer Tina Modotti.
Simple in style but complex in its analysis,
Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti explores the
divergent themes and styles of two
contemporary and radical women artists
working in the upheaval of the aftermath of
the Mexican Revolution.
Reviews
“AMY! And FRIDA KHALO AND TINA
MODOTTI are fascinating and
accessible hybrids of biography and
critical essay written in images and
sounds.
They
exemplify
the
‘passionate
detachment’
Mulvey
advocated- their modernist heroines
are as texts and presented as women
with
whom
younger
feminist
generations
will
connect.
The
rediscovery of these films will
energize discussions of feminist film
theory by illustrating the stakes of film
practice.” - Patricia White, Chair, Film

incredible cities, but also producing some

DEMOCRACY
Globe Trekker's Zay Harding hosts this
new look at the world's ancient civilization
of Greece. During the Golden Age of the
Greek City States 2500 years ago, the
ancient Greeks gave to the world
something much more valuable than
architectural wonders or material wealth ...
It was the ideas of democracy, liberty,
freedom of speech and the pursuit of truth
for truth's sake. The Greek City-state and
Democracy is the history of how a group of
people invented self-rule based on
citizenship, at a time when they were
surrounded by tyrants and despots. The
invention of these concepts of self rule and
citizenship is the most improbable event in
all of ancient history.

AND THAT'S HOW A BILL
BILL
BECOMES A LAW
When the president signed the Medicare
bill into law in December 2003 it was
thought to be a victory that could be
savored all the way through the election.
But Richard Foster—chief actuary of the
Medicare program—didn’t think so: he
knew the estimated price of the legislation
was $130 billion more than what had been
claimed. When Foster made this estimate
public a month later, people of both parties
on Capitol Hill were furious; accusations of
bribery, lying, intimidation, and political
shenanigans ensued. Most important, it
seemed to push public outrage with the
congressional process to an emotional
peak. This program captures the moods of
citizens and their thoughts on what could
have been a landmark achievement for
America.

Based on Leo Tolstoy’s famous novel and

Co-starring the spectacular Alexander

completely cinematic rendering of this
acclaimed production, which has never
before been seen in the United States.
Dealing primarily with the psychological

ANTIANTI-SEMITISM IN THE
21ST CENTURY: THE
RESURGENCE
(EDUCATOR'S EDITION)
Although hatred of the Jewish people is
often found at the margins of society,
anti-Semitism appears to be approaching
a groundswell in many parts of the world.
This program examines the phenomenon
at institutional and grassroots levels,
focusing primarily on the Middle East and

the complex history behind its conflicts.
Viewers will encounter several provocative
ideas about Islamic anti-Semitism and the
attitudes Jews and Muslims have
developed
concerning
each
other.
Celebrated historian Bernard Lewis,
former Israeli Prime Minister Natan
Sharansky, Iranian-American author Reza
Aslan, Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy,
and other experts propel this timely
discussion. Narrated by veteran TV
journalist Judy Woodruff.
Reviews
"Within one hour, the documentary,
narrated by veteran CNN journalist
Judy Woodruff, covers a lot of territory
in a graphic and efficient manner.
Viewers are given a capsule history of
anti-Jewish hatred both in the
Christian West and the Muslim East,
accompanied throughout by horrifying
cartoons across the centuries ....
Numerous experts weigh in on the
Middle East conflict and its impact on
the resurgence of anti-Semitism. On
the whole, the arguments balance
each other out, with perhaps a slight
edge given to supporters of Israel,
thanks to Woodruff's narration.” Jerusalem Post, 1/7/07
"A timeless cautionary tale about
those who throw caution -- and good
judgment -- to the wind, caught up in
the breeze of bigotry. The daring
documentary,
directed/written/produced by Emmy
Award-filmmaker Andrew Goldberg,
goes beyond American borders to
where hatred borders on the
incredible: The Middle East provides
no middle ground for Jewish jeers and
junked dreams of peace. It is all a
piece of the aching action that is
Goldberg's gold-standard of a film…"
- Philadelphia Jewish Exponent,
January 2007
"Presents a balanced picture, neither
downplaying nor exaggerating the
threat posed to Jews today - The
Jewish Week (NY), December 2006
"Sometimes complex, often infuriating
and always eye-opening, Goldberg
has performed a real service by
analyzing the toxic mixture of
ignorance
and
hatred
and
explaining why it has been so
impervious to enlightenment and
civilization for so long." - Hollywood
Reporter, January 2007
"A
disturbing,
yet
excellent
documentary.”
- The Star-Ledger
(NJ), 1/6/07
"An excellent look at anti-Semitism
and all the things that go along with it
- hate propaganda, vandalism and
assaults
on
Jews.
Thought-provoking." - Albuquerque

ANTONIO GAUDI
DIRECTOR(S): Hiroshi Teshigahara
Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi designed
some of the world's most astonishing
buildings, interiors, and parks; Japanese
director Hiroshi Teshigahara constructed
some of the most aesthetically audacious
films of the second half of the twentieth
century. Here, their artistry melds in a
unique, enthralling cinematic experience.
Less a documentary than a visual poem,
Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudi takes
viewers on a tour of Gaudi's truly
spectacular architecture, including his
massive still-unfinished masterpiece, the
Sagrada Familia cathedral, in Barcelona.
With camerawork as bold and sensual as
the curves on his subject's organic
surfaces, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaudi
on film.

of grassroots organizing. Now, several
years later, have there been fundamental
changes, or is it business as usual?
The Villa Barbaro (villa di Maser) by
Andrea Palladio
Through inventing the villa, a new type of
housing, in 1550, Palladio sought to

Reviews
"Combining colorful footage of the
experiences of ordinary Argentines
with insightful interviews of Argentine
professors, journalists and civil
society leaders, this film provides a
comprehensive and timely follow-up
to
the
experimentation
and
empowerment that arose out of
Argentina's recent crises. It is a

know vividly through twenty years of
abstract images. It permits us to

"Inspiring and timely…Turning Around
undertakes the rare and important yet too often neglected - task of
revisiting and re-examining social
change once the headlines have

the hard won insight and wisdom of
the workers, business managers,
movement leaders, academics and
journalists who have lived and led
Argentina's struggle to challenge the
dominant economic development
paradigm. In many cases, what began
as informal experiments, born out of
necessity or desperation, have
evolved
into
thriving
new
people-centric models of business,
agriculture, education and community
building. Turning Around captures
Argentina's modern story of hope,

ARID LANDS

landscape of the American West, the area
around the Hanford Site in Washington
State.
Arid Lands is a documentary feature about

the land and people of the Columbia Basin
in southeastern Washington state. Sixty
years ago, the Hanford nuclear site
produced plutonium for the atomic bomb
dropped on Nagasaki, and today the area
is the focus of the largest environmental
cleanup in history. It is a landscape of
incredible contradictions: coyotes roam
among decommissioned nuclear reactors,
salmon spawn in the middle of golf
courses, wine grapes grow in the
sagebrush, and federal cleanup dollars
spur rapid urban expansion.
Arid Lands takes us into a world of sports
fishermen,
tattoo
artists,
housing
developers, ecologists, and radiation
scientists living and working in the area. It
tells the story of how people changed the
landscape over time, and how the
landscape affected their lives. Marked by
conflicting perceptions of wilderness and
nature, Arid Lands is a moving and
complex essay on a unique landscape of
the American West.
Reviews
"Exquisitely filmed and carefully
crafted...The multiple perspectives
showcased in the film highlight
debates and issues that go far
beyond the local environs - land
development vs. ecology; science vs.
real-world experience; and how to
determine `acceptable risk.' Minimal
narration allows viewers to weigh the
various economic, ecological, cultural
and political vectors of the problems
facing the Hanford area and reach
their own conclusions, making this
film an excellent launching point for
classroom
debates."
-Melissa
Checker, Assistant Professor of
Urban Studies, City University of New
York, Queens College
"Arid Lands is an engaging and
thought-provoking film about shifting
human
adaptations
and
transformations of a particular
landscape, and the incongruous
absurdities sometimes generated in
the process…[The film] provides a
compelling springboard for discussion
of some of the most important issues
defining our times." -Dr. Lene
Pedersen, Dept. of Anthropology and
Museum,
Central
Washington
University
"Arid Lands does not offer easy
answers. Is it truly safe? What does it
mean if a town is desensitized to
nuclear waste? When will the federal
money run out? Will tourism be the
answer to economic development and
at what cost? The film presents a
richly textured view on a community
that battles nuclear waste, wrestles
with development, and worries about
the water. Arid Lands does what most
sociology professors want to teach:
the ultimate sociological paradox of
examining how societal influences
shape individuals and, at the same
time, how individuals shape the
outcome of community, institutions,
and
society."
-Dr.
Marisol
Clark-Ibanez, Assistant. Professor of
Sociology, California State University -
San Marcos
"An insightful look into…the concerns
of the people who work and develop
the land…An excellent job of showing
how the choices made now will not
only influence future lives, but, more
important, the viability of a fragile
landscape that the people cannot help
but depend upon." -City Pages
"A love song for the ailing, if resilient,
expanse of sagebrush and bunch
grass that still thrives on the Hanford
nuclear site…a comprehensive and,
at times, profound and entertaining
narrative." -Minnesota Daily
"In this age of golf courses in the
desert, this honest look at the state of
the west is as refershing as a tall drink
of water." -Missoula Independent
"A smart, comprehensive, and
beautiful film." -Williamette Week

documentary…a
provocative, complex portrait of
Eastern Washington as it grapples

ARM CONDITIONING
PROGRAM FOR PITCHERS
With Eric Valenzuela
The components of Coach Valenzuela's
effective long toss and arm conditioning
program feature stick drills for mechanics,
tube exercises, leg work, leg stretches,
agility work and a throwing program. Using
elastic tubing, players prepare for practice
by demonstrating six stretching exercises.
Running, individual stretching and agility
exercises are other important parts of
practice preparation. Valenzuela goes
through his top eight individual stretches
and seven agility exercises for you to
incorporate into your practice. The first
step in the throwing program is the Free
Throw Tosses drill with a four-seam grip.
Chest to chest, three position, walking into
throws (40-60 feet), long toss with arc
(80-90 feet), fastball/change-up catch (90
feet), working into 60 feet and feel pens
from the mound (70%) comprise the drills
that make up the long toss program. Six
stick drill mechanics help players maintain
fundamentals and proper throwing
mechanics. This is the same program that,
in 2007, helped propel the San Diego staff
to the 7th best earned run average in the
nation (3.37) while rising to 16th in the
country for strikeouts per nine innings.

ART LIVES: FRIDA KAHLO
KAHLO
Directed by Elia Hershon and Roberto
Guerra
Frida Kaho (1907-54), wife of artist Diego
Rivera, is one of the most widely
celebrated women artists of the twentieth
century. She lived at the political and
artistic centre of the Mexican Revolution,
but her work is uniquely personal. Many of
her paintings reflect the anguish she
suffered following an accident when she
was sixteen which left her in constant pain
and unable to bear children.
Both beautiful and frightening, Surrealist
Andre Breton described her art as 'a
ribbon around a bomb'. This portrait was
filmed in Mexico, particularly at the Blue
House in San Angel where she lived, and
provides a compelling visual survey of her
life and career.

Rivera, is one of the most widely
celebrated women artists of the twentieth
century. She lived at the political and
artistic centre of the Mexican Revolution,
but her work is uniquely personal. Many of
her paintings reflect the anguish she
suffered following an accident when she
was sixteen which left her in constant pain
and unable to bear children.
Both beautiful and frightening, Surrealist
Andre Breton described her art as 'a
ART LIVES: JAN VERMEER
VERMEER
Not much is known about Jan Vermeer.
He only produced around 35 works of art.
Yet they made him immortal. He was
born in Delft and never left the town. He
married there, worked as an art-dealer
and died in debt. He bequeathed us a
world of light, ambiguous interiors and
insightful portraits.
Michael Gill delves into the master’s world
and talks about the camera obscura and
Vermeer’s interest in science and
cartography. Together with experts, he
explores Vermeer’s secrets of perspective,
space, allegory and symbolic relationships
in his works.

Titian’s genius and significance in
European art are undisputed. Trained at
the Giovanni Bellini workshop and
influenced by working together with
Giorgione, he came to a masterly use of
colour, light and shade. His oeuvre
contains everything his times demanded:
drama, carnal lust, religious fervour,
mythology and portraits.
Didier Baussy-Oulianoff takes us to the
places where the renaissance artist
devised his artworks and painted for the
most influential courts. Contemporaries of
Titian’s, such as Vasari and Aretino, are
also featured and we learn that, in addition

The Art of Listening teaches practical

This lively program uses family and
workplace situations to teach seven “Laws
of Good Listening.” It illustrates the
surprising value of silence, the need to find
interests, and the importance of staying
out of the speaker’s way. The techniques
suggest how and when to take notes, the
role of body language and listening, and
the need to “listen between words” for

ART OF REGRET, THE
By Judith MacDougall
This brilliant and keenly observed
documentary, by renowned ethnographic
filmmaker Judith MacDougall, explores the
digital revolution in China, where
photography is known as the "art of
regret." A profound and seminal meditation
on the uses of photography and
image-making in a culture very much in
flux, the film demonstrates that difficult
choices about how to regard history, reality,
and material culture face everyone in
contemporary China.
Filmed in the rapidly changing city of
Kunming, The Art of Regret incisively
examines one of the most vexing and
provocative
questions
surrounding
photography today: do people want
photography to be a medium of
preservation and evidence, or of
transformation and fantasy? While the
Chinese cherish old photographs and the
memories those photographic relics
preserve, they also can -- and do -- visit
computerized photo stalls in department
stores and become transformed into
movie stars.
The film blends a rich array of
thought-provoking sequences along with
insightful and engaging commentary by
the filmmaker herself. Downtown, in a big
commercial complex, the old are made
young again and everyone is made more
"beautiful." A big photographic studio uses
a traditional wooden camera to make a
family portrait and then retouches it in a
high-tech computer lab. A man tells of
photos lost in the Cultural Revolution. A
digitally restored photo brings three
generations of women together. One
photographer regrets that a photograph
must always contain something that is
missing.
The Art of Regret is a compelling and
eye-opening work that will inspire
reflection and discussion in a variety of
courses on China, Asian studies, cultural
anthropology,
development
studies,
popular culture, and photography.

chosen by many of America's finest
museums, including the Whitney Museum
of American Art in New York, NY, the
Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC,
the Akron Art Museum in Akron, OH, the
High Museum of Art and the Museum of

whose beginnings can be traced back
over 7,000 years. We are welcomed into

ATTACK VS. DEFENSE
THREETHREE-PHASE TRAINING
SESSION
With Elmar Bolowich
Coach Bolowich and his assistants
present this excellent training session in
three phases; phase one is attacking the
goal and getting behind the defender for a
shot, phase two is the 7 v 5 situation and
the third phase is an 11 v 10 situation,
including: quality of shots, crosses from
the flanks, timed runs into the box and
combination play. One-on-one play is key
to this training session. The 7 v 5 session
looks for quality crosses, passes and
hitting the key target areas. Attacks from
the center of the field with combination
play are also a focus. Offensive keys to
the 7 v 5 session are: two attackers up
front, hit the target post positions, timing,
and quality shots on goal. Defensively the counter attack, playing out the ball,
initiating the attack and visible offside line
are important. Benefits of the 7 v 5 training
are to create combination plays, serving
the ball to targets, practicing quality shots
on goal and gaining total field awareness.
The 11 v 10 situation focuses on
decision-making, being aware of the entire
field before passing, and finding the open
post in the box before giving up the ball
and switching the ball to the opposite side
of the field when zones are overloaded are
important to solid play in 11 vs. 10.
Throughout, Bolowich reinforces good
team communication and learning to work
effectively as a unit.

set plays for each player, playing a fast
paced game and shooting threes are all
major parts of the Green Bay offensive
attack. As Coach Kowalczyk begins to
teach this offense, he demonstrates the
initial spacing needed. All players space
out beyond the 3-point line, with all three
perimeter players being interchangeable.
The focus for the dribbler is looking to
score first and pass second. As the ball is
reversed, the options are an open shot,
high low pass, back door cut and ball
reversal. Used as a secondary offense, at
times it is much more effective than set
plays. A small change is to pin down
screen instead of back door cutting.
Essential keys are ball movement, allow
your guys to play, take what the defense
gives you, timing and good cuts and
screens. When played 5-on-5, many of the
benefits of this offense are exposed.
Several counters are incorporated into the
attack and include; top flare, reverse flare,
misdirection, re-screen and hook pass. To
put this offense all together, breakdown
drills are demonstrated to illustrate the
most important pieces of the offense.

ATTACKING THE ZONE
With Mark Gottfried
Mark Gottfried will never be called passive
against zone defenses! Attacking the heart
of the zone, inside/out, is the goal of his
offense. The keys are ball movement, man
movement and penetrate as the ball
moves from sideline to sideline. Gottfried
believes that his perimeter players must
be hard to guard and find the gap between
two defenders. After one or two ball
reversals, guards look to "knife the zone"
by driving gaps. Post players are taught to
be aggressive and move hard against the
zone. Post players must occupy defenders
along the baseline by flashing and posting
up. One feature of Gotfried's zone style is
attacking from behind from the short
corner. The Double "O" is an alignment
with two post low and three perimeter
players on the outside. Another look is the
1-3-1 set, with the high post player acting
as the "hub of the wheel." Hi/low action,
corner
passes
and
short corner

opportunities are available in this attack.
Set plays are good weapons against zone
defenses. The 3-2 zone presents a
different look, but can be countered with
an offensive overload attack.

AVOIDING THE
WORKFORCE CRISIS: HOW
HOW
TO BEAT THE COMING
SHORTAGE OF SKILLS AND
AND
TALENT
By Tamara Erickson
How to develop leaders when your
staff prefers "balance" instead of
challenge.
Why 1/4 of your Gen Xers and 1/3 of
your Gen Y's are actively looking for
another job—right now.
The bell-shaped career path, and how
to keep your Boomers dialed in.
The impact of demographic trends and
generational differences is already
causing trouble for employers. Fewer
individuals are entering the workforce, and
those that do tend to have lower
qualifications while at the same time
presuming higher expectations. Tamara
Erickson
explains
how
different
generations of employees perceive the
workplace, and describes how to attract
and retain workers with this viewpoint in
mind.
Savvy employers will need to cast their
nets far and wide: recruiting at multiple
points, offering lateral career opportunities,
and investing in development. And for
retention, Erickson advocates "retiring
retirement," introducing greater flexibility,
and engaging the hearts and minds of
your employees by giving their work
meaning and personal value.

BACHELOR FARMER
By Michael Culpepper and Nikki Draper
Bachelor Farmer is an intimate look at how
a few gay men negotiate the challenges of
small-town living in rural Kendrick, Idaho,
population 369. In a place so small, no
one can be a stranger. Being openly gay
there isn't easy, but part of day-to-day
small town living is dealing with difficult but
necessary relationships. The gay men and
the one gay woman profiled talk about the
delicate balance between being "out" but
not so far out as to antagonize their
neighbors. They participate in the usual
small town rituals of barbeques, Fourth of
July parades, church on Sunday, and
above all tending to the land. It is the love
of the land they farm that has drawn them
to this town--some have roots that go back
generations, while others have settled to
be with their friends. The cinematography
captures the idyllic beauty of the rural
landscape making it easy to understand
their attachment to this place.
Each of the gay farmers has a story to tell
of why and how they made Kendrick their
home. As they blend in with the community,
they find that even a commitment
ceremony is reluctantly tolerated. The
partners later reflect that now they are
treated like just another old married couple
living down the road with too many cats. In
this examination of outsider status and the
struggle to be accepted in one's
community, Bachelor Farmer is a rich story
of community in the most unlikely of
places.
Review
"In today's polarized country of red
and blue states, of gay marriage
debates and the heated rhetoric of
constitutional amendments, "Bachelor
Farmer" is an affirmation that
tolerance and understanding are
home-grown." - Metrosource, NY

A Stranger In His Own Country
Directed by Hassanain Al Hani
2007, 10 minutes
Thousands of Iraqis have been displaced
by sectarian violence and have had to flee
their homes, seeking refuge in safer parts
of the country. Al Hani’s short film is a
portrait of Abu Ali, a refugee from Kirkuk
currently living in a refugee camp on the
outskirts of Kerbala. A peace-loving man
with a keen sense of justice, Ali struggles
to survive and provide for his family under
the difficult circumstances they now find
themselves.
The Shabandar Cafe
(aka. A Candle For the Shabandar Cafe)
Directed by Emad Ali
2007, 25 minutes
Founded in 1917, the Shabandar Cafe in
Al Mutanabbi Street in the heart of the old
centre of Baghdad was a cultural
landmark where generations of Iraqis
came to discuss and debate literature and
politics. The cafe was a living repository of
Iraqi intellectual history and one of the last
places where people could gather to
exchange ideas.
Director Emad Ali had nearly completed
filming for his project by the end of 2006.

Then, in March 2007, a massive car bomb
destroyed the Shabandar Cafe and all the
bookshops on Al Mutanabbi Street, killing
and wounded scores of people. Days later,
Baghdad's poets and artists held a wake in
the ruins of the street they loved so much.
Emad took a small camera and returned to
continue filming. He was attacked as he
was leaving, his camera was stolen and
he was shot in the legs and chest. Emad
Ali’s own story provides a disturbing
epilogue to his film about the Shabandar
Cafe and Mutanabbi Street, both before
and after they were destroyed.

drills and teaching points used at the
Five-Star Camps to present an opportunity
for any player to take their ball skills to the
next level! Warm-up exercises include ball
slaps, fingertip control, around the body,

and improved ball handling. Combination
dribble, pass and move drills can improve
a players overall game. Sit down ball
handling drills force players to use their
arms, fingers and fingertips. The game
speed series of drills will help all players,

BALLAD OF GREENWICH
VILLAGE
By Karen Kramer
Narrated by Lili Taylor
The artists, rebels, and bohemians who
came to New York's Greenwich Village
over many decades changed the face of
American culture through their art and
politics. This film portrays the important
political and social movements that began
in the Village: the first interracial jazz club,
the earliest Socialist newspapers from
before World War I, the Stonewall
Rebellion which sparked the Gay
Liberation movement and many others.
This unique film includes anecdotes from
many famous writers, musicians and
performers who got their start in the
Village. Actor/ director Tim Robbins
speaks about growing up in the Village
and attending early protest rallies. Allen
Ginsberg shows us the coffee house
where he first read poetry. Playwright
Edward Albee remembers how his

Woody Allen, poet Maya Angelou, author
Norman Mailer, folk singers Peter, Paul &

photographs, Hollywood movies, cartoons,
informative interviews and scenes of
contemporary village life. Accompanied by
a lively soundtrack that ranges from

BANISHED
Director: Marco Williams
Banished vividly recovers the too-quickly
forgotten history of racial cleansing in
America when thousands of African
Americans were driven from their homes
and communities by violent, racist mobs.
The film places these events in the context
of present day race relations by following
three concrete cases where black and
white citizens warily explore if there is
common ground for reconciliation over
these expulsions. Banished raises this
larger question: will the United States ever
make meaningful reparations for the
human rights abuses suffered, then and
now, against its African American citizens?
Can reconciliation between the races be
possible without them?
Between 1860 and 1920 hundreds of U.S.
counties expelled their black residents.
The pattern was depressingly similar in
almost all cases. The counties tended to
have small, defenseless black populations.
A black man was rumored to have
assaulted a white woman, was lynched
and then white rioters attacked black
neighborhoods with guns and firebombs.
Few black property owners had time to sell
their properties nor dared return to
repossess them. Whites could then
illegally assume ownership of them.
African Americans not only lost their
hard-won homes, farms and businesses,
but saw their communities and families
dispersed and their very right to exist
violated. The film reveals that even one
hundred years later, these racially
cleansed communities tend to remain
all-white
bastions
of
separatism,
sometimes harboring active klaverns of
the Ku Klux Klan.
Banished presents a fascinating detective
story through yellowed newspaper
archives, registries of deeds, photos from
treasured family albums and dimly
recalled stories of grandparents and
great-grandparents who lived through
these traumatic events to reconstruct a
dramatic record of the expulsions. The film
features black families determined to go to
any length to reconstruct their families'
past and gain some justice for their
ancestors and themselves. It interviews
dedicated local journalists, who braved
community opposition, to research the
banishments in-depth and force their
readers to confront their towns' past and
present. Banished was itself co-produced
by award-winning documentary filmmaker
Marco Williams and the Center for
Investigative Reporting, widely respected
for its in-depth, uncompromising coverage
of social justice issues.
Banished first visits Forsyth County,
Georgia, now a prosperous suburban
sprawl north of Atlanta. In 1912, African
Americans were violently driven out; today
there is still a saying among black folk:
"Don't let the sun go down on you in
Forsyth County." In 1987 a bi-racial Martin
Luther King Celebration tour was
organized through the all-white county.
Buses filled with marchers were met by
angry mobs, led by seven white
supremacist groups and a melee ensued.
The governor set up a commission to
investigate the incident and to respond to
black calls that the stolen land be returned
to them. We meet the Strickland family as
they return to the 2000 acres once owned
by their great grandfather and they restore
the neglected family burial ground as a
"monument to the past." Although the
commission found no deeds for the
passage of land from half of the expelled
black owners to whites, the white
members denied that their community was
responsible for any recompense and that
statute of limitations had run out for any
claims against illegal occupation. The
Stricklands were denied not only their land
but
even
the closure
that
the
acknowledgement of past injustices might
have given them.
The small, peaceful town of Pierce City,
Missouri, banished its African American
population in1901; it is still all-white. In
2006, a descendant of one of the expelled
families, Charles Brown, decided to
exhume the body of his great-grandfather
buried in Pierce City and inter it in the
family plot in Springfield. He met
bureaucratic stone-walling and what
emerged as a pattern of denial and
avoidance on the part of whites. But the
soft-spoken, reasonable Brown persisted
and finally convinced the local coroner and
a former mayor to help him rebury his
ancestor. But when he unexpectedly
asked Pierce City to pay the bill as a token
of regret for the banishment, the whites felt
betrayed, the victims of a "bait and
switch." They offered a transparently
hypocritical response: the crimes of 1901
were so horrific that no dollar amount
could ever compensate, only trivialize
them. Sherrilyn Ifill, Professor of Law at
the University of Maryland, stresses that
reparations are a continuing process,
providing recompense whenever and
however it becomes possible.
Finally, Banished travels to Harrison,

Arkansas, a small city where a faith-based
process for "truth and reconciliation" was
initiated, perhaps inspired by the South
African example. In 1909, a white mob
lynched a black man and then expelled the
town's black citizens. It is still all-white, a
Klan stronghold with the Confederate flag
flying over the Chamber of Commerce and
a refuge for retirees who "who want to live
without black people." A Taskforce for
Race Relations was formed to deal with
this situation in a "substantive" way. It
established two college scholarships for
black students to attract them to the local
schools, named after Aunt Vine, a maid,
who was the only black person allowed to
remain in Harrison after 1901. But one of
the scholarship recipients observes that
Harrison is still a "sundown town;" "black
people won't spend the night in Harrison."
The Taskforce hired a consultant, David
Zimmerman, a local historian, who
suggested they erect a monument in the
city square acknowledging that nearby
there once was a flourishing African
American
community
which
was
destroyed by a white mob. This would
provide
a
public
space
for
acknowledgement,
healing
and
reconciliation but even this modest plan
was met with objections.
Banished is as much a film about
forgetting as remembering. In its
understated way, it allows its white
subjects to reveal a collective repression
of their communities' racial history through
selective memory, outright denial and
rationalization. While African Americans
seem compelled to remember, confront
and redress the crimes of racism, many
whites want to ignore them, not only to
reject any responsibility for them but, more
importantly, any responsibility for rectifying
them. They do not seem to recognize that
a free conscience can begin only with
remorse. The theft of property, wealth,
community and hope must at least be
admitted and repaired to whatever extent
practical. Racial cleansing is still rampant
in the U.S., it just takes more subtle forms:
red-lining, redevelopment, gentrification,
gated communities, all-white suburbs, the
Katrina Diaspora. This powerful but not
rhetorical film makes evident that any
reconciliation, any honest healing between
the races, will only be possible once denial,
the willful banishing of our racial past, has
itself been banished.
Because it is both a scrupulously
researched history film and a probing
study of the process of racial reconciliation,
Banished is a valuable resource for
teaching American History, the Jim Crow
era, race relations, cultural competency,
prejudice reduction, conflict resolution,
and restorative justice as well as
journalistic ethics.
Banished is a co-production of the Center
for Investigative Reporting, Two Tone
Productions, the Independent Television
Service
and
the
National
Black
Programming Consortium with major
funding provided by the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting.
Reviews
"BANISHED
is
a
powerful
and
poignant documentary. Like few other
films, it demonstrates compellingly
the continuing effects of slavery and
its’ aftermaths upon contemporary
African-American families." - Randall
Robinson
–
author
of
“The
Debt…What America Owes To
Blacks”
"One need not support indiscriminate
reparations to appreciate how
Banished is a powerful, eye-opening
film… Like Elliott Jaspin's landmark
book, "Buried in the Bitter Waters",
Marco Williams' film makes a
compelling moral case for tangible
recompense to the families whose
land was stolen as a result of
community-wide white mob violence."
- David Garrow, author of "BEARING
THE CROSS: Martin Luther King, Jr.
and
the
Southern
Christian
Leadership Conference"
"BANISHED provides a remarkable
exploration of four sundown towns -places where historically, and even
today, African Americans could not
live or even spend the night. It is the
perfect antidote for those who think
we live in a post-racial society." - Dr.
James Loewen, author of "Sundown
Towns: A Hidden Dimension of
American Racism"
"A compelling and necessary chapter
to the literature of racism in this
country." - Hollywood Reporter
"Remarkable…
This
crucially
important documentary raises some
difficult questions about what can be
done in the present to make up for the
crimes of the past." - TV Guide
"A wrenching investigation of racism,
resentment, and reparations." Village Voice
At its peak, the Roman Empire feared
nothing in Heaven or on Earth. Perhaps
they should have paid closer attention to
the pagan rabble.
Coming in waves from the dark forests of
Europe, the hordes drove the mighty
empire to its knees. Relentless, unmerciful
and united only in their hatred for Rome,
each of these warrior tribes - Vandals,
Saxons, Franks and Lombards - had its
own violent agenda, dark rites, savage
tactics, and secret weapons.
The second collection from this acclaimed
series follows these four fearsome tribes
as they cut a swath of destruction through
the heart of the Roman world.
BARBARIANS II recreates the world of
these invaders through breathtaking stunts,
large-scale battle reenactments, and a
fast-paced, exciting narrative.

BASE 44-3 DEFENSE
With Clint Bowen
Coach Bowen uses his years of
experience as a Big 12 coach and as a
former college player in this informative
program about the 4-3 defense. A believer
in keeping things simple, Bowen covers
strategies including a wide variety of calls
and scenarios in this lecture-style
presentation. Depth of coverage depends
on the skills of the strong safety versus the
tight end, and the type of coverage is
determined by abilities of players in the
line-up. Bowen first shows the theory of
the
4-3
defense
using
in-depth
terminology and full play diagrams. Then
he shows the defense in action using
game footage featuring the Jayhawk team
that earned an Orange Bowl berth
following their incredible 2007 season.

BASE RULES FOR 44-3
COVER 4 DEFENSE
With Mike Yeager
Cover 4 is a defensive concept that serves
as an anchor for many college football
programs. Coach Yeager is a firm believer
in the 4-3 Cover 4 defense. He presents
the base rules of their Cover 4 defense
and drills used to develop the Hoosiers
defense. Corners will play three different
techniques in Cover 4, but their primary
rule is to protect the post under all
circumstances. Yeager presents four
routes that give this defense the biggest
challenges, called Cover 4 beaters.
Specific attention is paid to the 11 and 10
personnel, which is the offensive spread
attack with use of game footage. Other
areas discussed are single width
adjustments, Cover 4 check yoyo, Cover 6,
Cover 7, check flood, empty-check, and
check Hawk. Using graphics over game
footage, each of these checks are
carefully described and illustrated. The
final segment is dedicated to personnel in
the 3-4 package. This down and distance
package adds an extra defensive end for a
lineman to create better speed and
coverage. Game footage also shows the
four man rush with the use of a pick to
gain a rushing advantage.

BASICS OF THE AIR RAID
RAID
OFFENSE, THE
With Hal Mumme
Hal Mumme's extensive resume has
allowed him to see every offense in
football. Using game footage, he shares
some of the plays and explosive offensive
strategies from the Air Raid Offense.
Coach Mumme starts with warm-up drills.
These drills are done at one-quarter speed
in position groups. All receivers are
involved in the noose & settle drill, which is
a catch, tuck and turn up the field exercise.
The pat & go is an individual drill for
receivers that help develop the skill of
looking the ball in over their shoulder.
Performing a set of unit drills develops the
quick game. A segment of quick screens is
another important part of the practice
routine. One-on-one passing versus
defensive backs and the inside drill are
valued drills within this offensive attack.
Mumme wraps up this presentation with
team drills and game plan.

ICON
They take hundreds of years to
biodegrade and have sparked heated
debate
around
the
world.
This
documentary examines the controversy
over plastic bags, from their often
devastating environmental impact to their
remarkable ubiquity in consumer culture.
Outlining the bag’s connection to Big Oil,
the film presents environmental case
studies in Mumbai, where clogged flood
drains have sparked plastic bag bans, and
Hawaii, where plastic beach litter has
killed wildlife on a staggering scale. Also
profiled is a retired German schoolteacher
who has amassed the world’s largest
plastic bag collection—and, for mysterious
reasons, keeps it locked in a bomb shelter.

BATTLEGROUND: 21 DAYS
DAYS
ON THE EMPIRE'S EDGE
Actots/Artists: Sgt. Robert Hollis,
Rana al Aiouby, Farhan al Bayati,
Hesham Barbary, Raed Jarrar
DIRECTOR(S): Stephen Marshall
In late 2003, two filmmakers from the
Sundance award-winning Guerrilla News
Network spent three weeks on the
frontlines of the simmering guerrilla war in
Iraq, gathering intelligence, dodging
bullets, and capturing the untold stories of
what has become the world's most
covered, and misunderstood, conflict.
BattleGround is an irreverent journey that
will challenge the orthodoxies of Left and
Right, and highlight the humanity of all
sides of the conflict. BattleGround will be a
critical film for anyone who wants to
understand the powerful forces that are
sucking America deeper and deeper into a
Middle Eastern quagmire. Is Iraq our
generation's "Bright Shining Lie," or is it
the frontline in a global battle for national
survival? Or is to some combination of
both?

Reviews
"Historically, it's essential viewing…" Chicago Tribune
"Battleground is more evenhanded
than
one
might
expect,
but
nonetheless strongly suggests the
U.S. was wrong to create this
'quagmire' and will find it exceedingly
difficult to 'win.'" - Variety
"An honest to God documentary,
refreshingly free of the kind of
agendas that usually give slant to so
many of the borderline propagandist
films gaining notoriety in our current
political
climate."

BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
DANCE EDIT (120 BPM)
By Michael Bell-Smith
-
Bell-Smith refers to his re-edit of
Eisenstein's iconic 1925 film The
Battleship Potemkin as a "sort of Cliff
Notes condensation of the original
narrative." Writes the artist, "I've separated
the film into its constituent shots and time
stretched them one by one to the exact
same length, one half of a second. I then
replaced
the
soundtrack
with
a
one-second dance loop synced to the
cuts."
Through his reconfiguration, Bell-Smith
replaces the editing structure of the
original film (seminal in its use of montage)
with the "dumb, visceral, metric montage
favored by dance visuals and music
videos" offering up a new context for the
film's stark imagery and revolutionary
narrative.

BECOMING A CHAMPION
DIVER: STRIVING TO
REACH YOUR GREATEST
POTENTIAL
With Dr. Jeff Huber
"It is essential to understand what it takes
to think and act like a champion diver .
there is quite a difference between
wanting to be a champion vs. the
commitment it takes in and out of the pool
to become a champion." - Dr. Jeff Huber
To compete at the highest level a diver
must maximize mental and emotional
ability as well as physical ability. Huber
shares the attributes and behaviors for
"Becoming
a
Champion."
Huber's
in-the-pool commitment includes mental,
emotional and physical strategies and
shares basic and advanced tools for how
to listen, process, react and learn from the
ongoing feedback your coach provides to
maximize each practice. Commitment
outside of the pool is just as important for
athletes.

Jesse
Coach Pullins' exceptional instruction
includes demonstration from two former
USC All American high jumpers, one of
which was the NCAA High Jump
Champion. Coach Pullins begins with the
proper approach and "steps" that includes
the Penultimate step, a long short step
close to the bar for a lower center of
gravity that is essential for successful
jumping. Pullins also details how to lean
the inside shoulder away form the bar to
avoid throwing the shoulders directly into
the bar. This pushing away from the bar
helps complete the jump. Coach Pullins
emphasizes paying attention to speed of
contact and emphasizes that success
generally comes from the jumper who
applies the most force in the shortest
period of time. Finally, Pullins focuses on
keeping the drive knee to the height of the
bar. In all, Pullins shares more than 30
drills to reinforce his teachings. This
comprehensive DVD is for the jumper that
is serious about Becoming a Champion
and ready to go beyond the basics to
succeed!

HOCKEY PLAYER:
ANGLING, BODY
CHECKING & PUCK
PROTECTION
With Enrico Blasi
Coach Blasi presents some of the finer
points of hockey that give players and
teams the edge needed for success. Blasi
begins by discussing angling techniques
for driving the puck carrier to the side. He
teaches players to be stick on stick and
body on body, with hand down to separate
the man from the puck. Body checking
takes good technique and execution.
Players must be in good athletic position
with the stick down and in control. When
taking the hit, you should continue moving
with your knees bent. Embracing the hit by
using the hands and arms will soften the
blow. Drills for angling and body checking
include the angling wall drill with four drill
variations, the shoulder check drill. Puck
protection is an essential part of hockey.
Key points are keeping your body between
the puck and your opponent, keep your
head up with knees bent, and use arms
and hips to shield your opponent from the
puck. The one-on-one keep away is an
excellent drill to develop balancing skill. All
five puck protection drills shown will help
increase your puck protection skills!

OFFENSIVE ESSENTIALS
FOR PASSING, RECEIVING
RECEIVING
& SHOOTING
With Enrico Blasi
Passing and receiving skills cannot be
underestimated and must always be
improved upon! When delivering the puck,
Coach Blasi teaches a sweeping motion,
with weight shift, and a follow through with
the stick. Keeping your head up, hands
away from the body and follow through to
target are keys to proper passing. Blasi's
keys to receiving the puck include
transferring weight from front to back, stick
on ice to present a target, cushion the
pass and soft hands. Keys to the
backhand pass include puck in the middle
of the blade, sweeping motion to the target
and hands away from the body. The flip
pass also requires a good follow through.
A chopping motion and a short,
abbreviated follow through will result in
proper flip passing. Blasi demonstrates
stationary passing drills such as the
forehand pass and the flip pass drill. Other
drills include partner passing, follow the
pass drill, forward/backward drill, wide and
narrow angle passing drill, circle drill,
partner cone drill, tight turns box drill, and
flip pass drill. Blasi includes keys for the
proper slap shot, wrist shot, snap shot and
backhand
shot,
which
are
also
demonstrated in stationary and moving
shooting drills.

With Matt Cady
Coach Cady begins with the squat jump,
an important exercise in this strength
program. Hip drive creates the biggest
benefit from this exercise. The lateral
lunge builds lateral strength and flexibility
in the hips and the groin area. The
crossover step up utilizes the box as a
landing area. Hip strength and flexibility
are gained with the hip lift. This lift includes
several variations for differing results.
Chest strength and shoulder mobility
result from correct execution of the
medicine ball push-ups. The shoulder
circuit is a series of nine exercises that
include the front raise, shoulder press,

HANDLING
HANDLING
With Enrico Blasi
Stance, hand placement, and proper
weight shifting is key to a basic beginning
and Coach Blasi shares a series of
excellent drills designed to reinforce them
all! The two-hand drill is a basic stick
handling drill that is accomplished by
rolling the wrist; a progression is the
one-hand/two hand drill. Weight shifting is
important in the 'short dribbles/wide
sweeps' drill. The 'around the world' drill
develops the bottom hand as it shifts
around the stick. The 'figure eights' drill is
similar and demands focus, balance and
stick work. Weight shifting and rolling
hands are key in the wide sweeps series.
Cones can be used on the ice to create
excellent drills. Puck handling control is
the objective of the straddling the cones
drill. Other cone drills include the short
dribble/wide sweep drill, head fake drill,
tight turns and tight turns box drill. In
addition, Blasi shares his key points for
puck control and stick handling and the
common problems associated with stick
handling.

Coach Holloway takes you beyond the
basic components of the hurdle event and
shows you how to unlock your potential as
a hurdler. Holloway begins with a thorough
functional warm-up routine designed to
increase the hurdler's flexibility and

sustaining good ground contacts and
carrying a sprint form. Once the athlete is
running between the hurdles, Holloway
demonstrates how to target and attack
each hurdle while keeping a good flow and
rhythm, allowing the runner to finish strong.
Also included is a segment about running
the turn in the 300/400m events, focusing
on standing up tall and maintaining good
posture. Holloway shares drills that cover

LACROSSE PLAYER:
SHOOTING TECHNIQUES &
DRILLS
With Gary Gait
Shooting is more complex than just
throwing the ball at the goal. It involves
body mechanics, using the stick,
deception and developing different shots
around the field. Focusing on push-pull,
lacrosse legend Gary Gait begins with the
basic shot. The same basic form can be
aided by different release points,
demonstrated by the game's greatest
player. From a basic position, the player
can accurately change the direction of the
shot. Deception is another big part of
developing skill as a shooter, and Gait
shows proper body position for high and
low shots. Gait clearly details the
mechanics and teaching points used in
deceptive shooting. Gait's next focus is to
share different shots from the outside.
Three main shots demonstrated are the
sidearm crank shot, sweeping and on the
run shots; most of your shots will come
from these two types of shots. These
shots rely on coiling the body, dipping and
side to side deception. Gait teaches his
players to telegraph the fake but not the
shot. Gait concludes with his infamous
'trick' shots that only he can teach. These
shots include behind the back, twister,
change up, the elevator and the handle
slam.

TRICKS & DODGING
With Gary Gait
earned him the distinction of being called
the "greatest lacrosse player of all time".
Starting with the lacrosse stick, Gait
carefully details the stick and the pocket.
The basic cradle is dictated by the roll of
your wrist and hand. Both the one- and
two-hand cradle are demonstrated.
Techniques for catching and protecting the
ball are highlighted, as well as several
different stick flips. Gait teaches throwing
in two distinct parts; first, he concentrates
on the hands and the arms away from the
body. Learning to isolate the hands and
arms develops control and the ability to
throw in any direction, regardless of body
position. When the body becomes
involved, powerful shots and pinpoint
passes can be made. Stick tricks include
the 'behind the back' pass and the 'around
the world' or 'reverse behind the back'
pass. The 'handle slam' is another tricky
maneuver demonstrated. Gait closes with
the art of dodging. The bull, face and roll
dodge are necessary dodging skills for all
players and is completely broken down by
Gait.

LONG JUMPER - BEYOND
THE BASICS!
With Dennis Nobles
Coach Nobles utilizes two former
All-American athletes to demonstrate the
finer points of the long jump. Nobles states
that the long jump must be seen as a
sprint event, and sprinting is a major part
of an athlete's success. Thrust/weight ratio
is another major part of the engineering of
long jumpers. This means the athlete has
a strong upper body with little excess
weight. Distance is determined by velocity,
angle and center of gravity at take off.
Nobles points out the inverse relationship
between velocity and angle as it pertains
to the long jump. Topics such as starting
point, depth perception, rhythm and the
run are main parts of Nobles teaching. At
the board, the importance of angle
becomes second to velocity. The goal is to
increase angle without slowing down. The
hitch kick is a three-phase process for
advanced jumpers. The heel and knee,
switch and jump/switch/close feet are the
three parts of this crucial long jumping skill.
Nobles finishes in the weight room
demonstrating the key lifts for long jump
athletes. The warm-up and stretching
activities are stressed by Nobles are
essential parts of the entire long jump
routine for success.

tall on their approach. The plant and take
off is another crucial piece of the pole vault
puzzle. Next in the progression is the
chest drive and swing followed by the
shoulder drop-turn and push-off. Bar
clearance - another important skill taught
by Licari - is shared along with insightful
tips and technique such as: ".one key is to

breaks down the elements of the rotational
style shot put for athletes at all levels. The
starting position in the circle is the
foundation of proper shot putting. Pivot
drills with cones are demonstrated and are
essential for establishing a solid base.
Coach Meaders uses a variety of cone
locations to teach different parts of the
initial phases of footwork. Dozens of
teaching points are made with the use of a
stick. Because footwork is so crucial to this
event, small cones are used throughout
the DVD. Other props used in
demonstrations are a cup of water,
medicine balls, bungee cord, softballs and
large barrels in the circle to strengthen
various teaching points.

TRIPLE JUMPER - BEYOND
THE BASICS!
With Dennis Nobles
In this DVD, he utilizes the 2006 National
Champion athlete to show athletes at all
levels the finer points of the triple jump.
Speed on the runway is the key to the
triple jump, and the starting point for
Nobles. The first step is the most variable
and critical to the jump. Nobles
encourages athletes to set a first step
check mark to remain consistent with the
initial step. Your runway spring is vital to
how far you will jump and is a consistent
emphasis by Nobles. When approaching
the board, stability, balance and velocity
are the major factors he teaches. Use of
arms at takeoff can also determine your
end result. The three distinct jumps are
also seen as one individual entity. Instead
of the hitch kick at the end, the hang
technique is used. The hang is a way to
slow the natural rotation of the body for
maximum distance. Nobles also focuses
on strength training, warm-up, and
stretching exercises, all important to the
jumper's ultimate success.

HYPNOSIS FOR PAIN
CONTROL
With David R. Patterson, PhD, ABPP
In Hypnosis for Pain Control, Dr. David R.
Patterson demonstrates this helpful
therapeutic technique. Hypnosis is a
powerful tool for helping clients to access
personal resources to assist them in
controlling pain. Although hypnosis can be
used with chronic pain, in this context it is
typically best used over a number of
sessions
in
conjunction
with
psychotherapy. On the other hand,
hypnosis for acute pain—typically from
medical procedures such as surgery,
trauma, or child birth—may be beneficial
even if used in a single session.
In this session, Dr. Patterson works with a
woman with a rare form of cancer who has
a tumor on her spine that causes burning,
stabbing pain, interfering with her sleep. Dr.
Patterson first educates the client about
hypnosis, then takes her through an
induction that gives her access to internal
resources that help her to feel less pain
and greater comfort.

In Childhood Asthma, Dr. Bruce G. Bender
demonstrates his approach to counseling
children with asthma so as to reduce the
behavior that exacerbates this respiratory
condition.
Dr.
Bender
uses
a
family-management approach to treat
young clients with asthma. Because a
child lives within a family system, it is
important to involve parents and other
family members in assessment and
treatment.
In the session on this video, Dr. Bender
works with an 18-year-old girl named Kate
who has had asthma since she was 8. As
a young child, she also had problems with
ear infections and her hearing. Kate is
inconsistent with her medication: She
takes it when she feels in poor health but
stops taking it as soon as her health
improves.
He meets with the client and her mother

With G. Terence Wilson, PhD
In Genetic Issues, Dr. Andrea Farkas
Patenaude demonstrates her approach to
counseling clients who are facing the
possibility of inheriting an illness or
disorder from a parent or grandparent.
Many disorders, such as cancer or
Alzheimer's disease, may have a genetic
component, making it likely that someone
will inherit them. Dr. Patenaude works with
clients on associated stress and anxiety
and also provides information on the
benefits and limitations of genetic testing.
In Problems of Eating and Weight
Management, Dr. G. Terence Wilson
demonstrates his approach to working
with clients who are having trouble with
binge eating and weight control. This
problem occurs frequently, primarily
among women, and has at its root various
negative self-beliefs about the body that
are exacerbated by the client's practice of
binge
eating.
Dr.
Wilson
uses
cognitive–behavioral therapy to help the
client replace binge eating with more
healthy eating habits, first by working with
the client to stop current unhealthy
behavior and become aware of the
triggers for binge eating, and then by

With Bonnie J. Spring, PhD
In Smoking Cessation, Dr. Bonnie J.
Spring demonstrates her behavioral
approach to helping clients quit smoking.
Nicotine addiction is a psychological as
well as a physical phenomenon, so this
approach focuses on recognizing the
triggers for smoking and learning new
ways to react to those triggers by
replacing smoking with other behaviors.
In this session, Dr. Spring works with a
42-year-old woman who is also a
recovering alcoholic. She first looks at how
the client is conflicted over smoking,
cataloging what attracts and repels the
client about the habit and, without
pressuring her, tries to move the client
toward choosing her own path toward
smoking cessation.

She uses an eclectic approach that

BEHIND THE BOOM:
MIGRANT WORKERS IN
CHINA
Over two hundred million migrants work
illegally in China. Coming from the
countryside into the cities, they power the
country's massive economic growth. This
film features two powerful reports which
offer contrasting views of migrants in
Shanghai.
REPORT 1
Kejun is 33 years old. He comes from one
of China’s poorest provinces. Searching
for a better life, he was hired by a
construction company in Shanghai, where
he now works for 5 dollars a day, 7 days a
week.
China has approximately 200 million
migrant workers. Most live like Kejun.
Chinese law prohibits the rural population
to move into the cities. But the Chinese
economy has become dependent on this
cheap workforce from the countryside. So
the law is often ignored. Migrant workers
live their lives in the city under constant
threat.
Kejun and his cousin make a visit home to
their village. One year has gone since they
last saw their children. “I am so excited to
come home now,” says Ka. “My life in
Shanghai consists only of work – I do
nothing else. You can get used to it, but it
is very lonely.”
But Kejun’s cousin is worried. She is six
months pregnant, yet according to the law
she shouldn’t be. If someone in her village
denounces her to the authorities, she will
have to pay a huge fine – 600 dollars.
Kejun's uncle Changhong is a head-hunter
and it was he who hired Kejun. He’s on the
lookout for fresh workers for Shanghai’s
building sites. The younger – and the
cheaper - the better for him.
Uncle Changhong’s latest recruit is
packing for a new life. He will have to
leave his wife and his little son behind. “I
am very sad to leave my home,” he says,
“I will miss everything here -- especially
my family and my parents. The other
workers have told me that you can return
home only once a year.”
REPORT 2
Shanghai - the glittering epicentre of
China's boom economy. Xu Chuanruo, a
52-year-old street sweeper, came to
Shanghai five years ago, leaving behind
his wife and two kids in Hubei province,
1,000km away.
In Shanghai Xu can make up to 1,200
yuan per month -- about $200. In China
that's good money -- but this requires a
12-hour day, seven days a week.
Xu lives with seven other people in a
single room and sends $100 per month
back to his family. He spends what little
spare time he has practicing the
disappearing art of calligraphy.
Meanwhile in a small workshop a team of
migrant workers are making decorations
for the New Year’s celebrations. The
lowest of the low are Zhang Yongqiang
and his aunt Zhang Suqing who scavenge
for styrofoam scraps.
Communist China has no welfare net for
its 100 million migrant workers -- they
either work or go hungry. But the garbage
collectors say that even a lowly job in
Shanghai is better than the poverty of their
village.
Yet being a migrant worker doesn't
necessarily equal poverty. Yang Mei has
been in Shanghai for 12 years and now
runs her own restaurant.
All the staff in her restaurant are migrant
workers. Many waitresses here are young
and a long way from home. 19-year-old
Zou Heyan arrived from Szechuan - a
4-day train trip - only about a week ago
“I'm not used to the life here yet,” says
Zou, “I feel weak like jelly after a day's
work. I suffer from diarrhoea as I'm not
used to the climate …At home we didn't
have enough to eat. I've experienced
hardship, so I can bear a lot.”

BEING A COMPLETE
RECEIVER
With Henry Mason
Developing "complete" receivers is a
Coach Mason specialty! Receiver play on
the University of Wisconsin football team
is based on several keys: Define each
receiver's passing tree, master passing
tree vs. all looks, read it-see it-walk it-rep it
and fitting drills to fit the offense. In
breaking down the receiver positions,
Mason states that the split end, the X
receiver, should be your best receiver and
a precision route runner. The Z receiver,
flanker, is the fastest and most physical
receiver because of his blocking
responsibilities. The Z should lead your
team in most yards per catch. The adjuster,
R receiver, must be smart, moves to
formations, and can run good buddy
routes. Mason shares a Segment Meeting

serves as a key to developing
communication between players and

include vertical release, stick at 10 yards,
roll to 14 yards and setting the course. The
burst corner is a burst release at 45
degrees at 5 yards. Others include the

and sword. Blocking - extremely important
to this passing attack - is covered in great
detail as well!

BEING INNU (LONG
VERSION)
By Catherine Mullins
For thousands of years the Innu lived off
the land. They were nomads, sometimes
also known as the Montagnais. In the
1960s, government policy forced them to
settle and form communities in Labrador
and Quebec. Ancestral ways collided with
modern ones, and gave rise to ongoing
struggles. Now the grandchildren tell their
own story.
Being Innu takes an unvarnished look at
life in the village of Sheshatshiu, Labrador.
Six savvy, gutsy young people talk to
Montreal filmmaker Catherine Mullins
about addiction, suicide, lack of jobs,
hopelessness. They will grab your heart
with their stories: "I first thought about
suicide when I was 7," says April, 16. They
will make you laugh with their wry humour:
"What do you do when you live in a shoe?"
Jimmy, 25.
Interviews with Elders, grandparents and
teachers round out this portrait of a
community in crisis - sadly a situation not
unlike that of many other aboriginal
nations.
What is remarkable about Innu youth is
their love of the land and of their native
language. For them, being Innu means
finding a balance between the traditional
ways of the past and today's reality.

BELFAST GIRLS
by Malin Andersson
BELFAST GIRLS is a quiet, powerful story
of two young women growing up in a city
where neighbors are cut off from each
other by permanent concrete and
corrugated iron screens. These so-called
“peace walls” have also become mental
walls, dividing one community from
another. Living in different worlds within
the same city, Mairead Mc Ilkenny and
Christine Savage share the legacy of 30
years of conflict in Northern Ireland. With
insightful clarity, Swedish director Malin

struggles and triumphs, these two strong
women have more in common with each
other than they have differences.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder's wildly
controversial
fifteen-hour-plus
Berlin
Alexanderplatz, based on Alfred Doblin's
great modernist novel, was the crowning
achievement of a prolific director who, at
age thirty-four, had already made forty
films. Fassbinder's immersive epic,
restored in 2006 and available on DVD in
this country for the first time, follows the
hulking, violent, yet strangely childlike exconvict
Franz
Biberkopf
(Gunter
Lamprecht) as he attempts to "become an
honest soul" amidst the corrosive urban
landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With
equal parts cynicism and humanity,
Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of
a common man struggling to survive in a
viciously uncommon time.

BEST PRACTICES IN DATA
DATA
CLASSIFICATION AND
STORAGE OPTIMIZATION
by Alex Adamopoulos
What is data classification, and can this
initiative reduce IT costs and improve
effectiveness? What is the value of data
classification as a fundamental component
of a storage strategy? How will data
classification maximize an organization's
current storage investments and support
its Information Lifecycle Management
efforts? What are the phases of a data
classification project, how should the task
be approached, and what tools will help
achieve the best results? Are there
storage optimization recommendations
and a management action plan?
Alex Adamopoulos, director of Market
Development for EMC Corporation's
Information Solutions Consulting group, a
storage-focused consulting organization,
examines a new process that is having
significant and wide-reaching impact on
organizations and their IT departments.
The process, called data classification, is
claimed to be one of the most fundamental
steps in any initiative intended to reduce IT
costs and improve effectiveness. This
presentation will help you understand the
value of data classification as a
fundamental component of a storage
strategy that will maximize your
organization's current storage investments
and support its Information Lifecycle
Management efforts. Adamopoulos begins
by defining data classification and
discussing the need for classifying data.
Next, he looks at the phases of a data
classification project, explains how to
approach the task, and explores the tools
that can help you achieve the best results.
Adamopoulos continues by presenting a
case study illustrating how a major
financial services company chose to
develop a data classification plan. The
presenter
concludes
with
storage
optimization recommendations and a
management action plan.
By watching this program, you will:
Learn new ways to look at the value
of your data, and understand the
process involved in classifying that
data;
Learn how classifying data can lead to
true
cost
savings
through
consolidation and repurposing of the
storage investments you've made to
date, including eliminating manual
inefficiencies; and
Be equipped to develop a data
classification plan with actionable
items.

BEST RANGER
Director(s): William J. Gray
Join the Army's top athletes as they battle
dozens of extreme challenges -- and each
other -- in a grueling, elimination-style
athletic tournament. Their bones will break.
Their spirits may be crushed. Less than
half will even finish. But the promise of
yearlong bragging rights -- and an
engraved 9mm Beretta for the winning
team -- drives them on. This is the ultimate
Armed Forces Olympics, the Best Ranger
Competition.
Part 1 Twenty-three two-man Ranger
teams descend on Fort Benning, Georgia
for the start of a taxing, three-day
competition. As the men prepare for the
first
day's
events
-including
marksmanship, a spot jump contest and a
PT test -- a passionate crowd of family,
friends and fans gathers to cheer them on.
And while each man wants to get off to a
fast start, the key is to maintain a
consistent
level
of
performance
throughout
the
competition's
60
continuous hours.
Part 2 It's Day Two, and the original 23
teams have been whittled down to just a
dozen. With the conclusion of the grueling,
21-mile road march, the men prove their
mental acuity in a series of tactical tests,
including weapons assembly, a medical
first responder, grenade assault course,
stress shoot and the infamous Prusik
climb. But each of these pales in
comparison to the second day's final event:
the land navigation and night orienteering
course.

BETTER WORLD, A: ALL
RISE
With Robert W. Fuller
Fuller traveled to India (as a consultant to
then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi) and
was deeply influenced by witnessing the
famines resulting from the Indo-Pakistani
border wars. With the election of Jimmy
Carter, Fuller began a campaign to
persuade the new president to end world
hunger. His meeting with Carter in the
Oval Office in June 1977 led to the
establishment
of
the
Presidential
Commission on World Hunger. During the
1970s and 80s, Fuller traveled frequently
to the USSR working as a citizen-scientist
to improve and ease Cold War relations.
This work led to the creation of the
non-profit global corporation INTERNEWS,
which promotes democracy via free and
independent media, and for many years
Fuller served as its chairman. Based on
his years of experience in different types
or organizations, Fuller formulated the
idea of “rankism” to which we are all
subject--and perpetrate--the subject of his
book and this interview with Mitchell Rabin,
which goes into this delicate subject with a
much-needed discipline and courage. One
will get here in this interview for A Better
World TV a quick & certain sense and
understanding of ranksim and the
immediate need to reform it, as well as
how it serves the next evolutionary step in
the formation of Democracy.
Review
“Educator and humanitarian Fuller
follows up his Somebodies and
Nobodies with this stimulating,
scattershot manifesto on the fight
against "rankism," or the abuse of
power based on rank. While the
notion subsumes racism, sexism and
class
inequality,
rankism
also
addresses
the
thousand
daily
insults…that everyone suffers in a
hierarchical, status-conscious society.
Fuller's program for a "dignitarian
society"
emphasizes…reform
of
institutions
and
interpersonal
relations.” - Publishers Weekly In
1971

BETTER WORLD, A:
FREEDOM IS…
With Brandon Bays
Diagnosed with a tumor the size of a
basketball, Brandon was catapulted on a
remarkable, soul-searching and ultimately
freeing, healing journey in which she
uncovered a means to get direct access to
the soul, to the boundless healing
potential inside all of us. Only
six-and-one-half weeks later she was
pronounced tumor free, text-book perfect,
no drugs — no surgery!! "Through the
humbling and profoundly transformational
experience of naturally healing from a
tumor in only six-and-one-half weeks, I
uncovered a boundless joy and freedom
that have been my daily experience ever
since. As a result of this experience,
Brandon Bays started writing and
designed a process based on what she
herself went through, now known the
world over as The Journey. It has been
integrated into the school system in South
Africa, parts of Europe and Australia, as
well as into hospitals and prison systems.
It is helping free people from past patterns,
emotional and physical. In this first of two
interviews with Mitchell, Brandon “tells the
story” in graphic detail of what she went
through, and indeed, the liberation that
came from it. A dynamic interview that
anyone would appreciate.

Johannesburg,
South
Africa,

Mayur had amassed a wealth of
information from his own experience and
interviews with other experts. Rashmi
Mayur's closest friends, Noel Brown
describes Dr. Mayur as "a man of mission
for whom life is mission to build a good
earth for everyone." It is generally believed
that in order to bring changes for a

BETTER WORLD, A: THE
HEALING CODES
With Dr. Alex Loyd
Alex Loyd, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist who
had been on a 12-year search for the
answers to his wife’s clinical depression.
While on an airplane, his prayers were
answered: he received a download of the
blueprint which has since been named
The Healing Codes. The purpose of The
Healing Codes is to remove negative
energy from “unhealed pictures”, and to
reduce or completely eliminate stress in
the body. Everyone wants a life filled with
love, joy and peace. Unhealed pictures
are what block us from fulfilling this kind of
life. We all know of people with money,
accomplishments, and fame who do not
have love, joy or peace and are unhappy.
The Healing Codes Techniques help heal
the unhealed pictures that block abundant
life on all levels. In this informative
interview, Mitchell and the audience learn
about what this remarkable system of
healing is about, why it’s needed and how
it is helping the thousands of people who
are currently using it. It applies to health,
happiness and prosperity all together. This
interview will give you a quick
understanding and overview of The
Healing Codes in a delightful dialogue
between these two lively therapists.
Review
"Dr. Alex Loyd has the defining
healing technology in the world today

BETTER WORLD, A:
TOWERS OF DECEPTION
With Barrie Zwicker
Barrie Zwicker was the first journalist in
the world to deeply question the official
story of 9/11 on national television. A writer,
TV producer and host, political and
environmental activist, he was Director of
the International Citizens’ Inquiry into 9/11,
Phase 2, at the University of Toronto in
May 2004. In Towers of Deception: The
Media Cover-Up of 9/11 Zwicker provides
readers with 26 "Exhibits" of evidence
proving beyond reasonable doubt that
9/11 was an inside job, what's known as a
"false flag operation." In a false flag
operation, an attack is self-inflicted in
order to mobilize the public against a
designated enemy. In this interview, Barrie
gives a good overview of his research both
into the specifics of 9/11 that defy the
official Commission’s report and into how
national media did not investigate the
matter, asking even the simplest of
questions, to bring truth to light. Sobering
and with far-reaching implications, this is
not an interview you want to miss.
Review
“A dozen carefully-researched books
have exposed the official story of 9/11
to be a terror fraud. Yet the
mainstream
media
have
monolithically failed to ask elementary
questions about anomalies in this
story.Towers of Deception explains
why and prescribes actions to break
out
the
truth.”

BETTER WORLD, A: ZEN
MIND, BUSINESS MIND
With Yasuhiko Genku Kimura
Yasuhiko Genku Kimura defines Kosmos
as the totality of the known and unknown
universes. To think kosmically means to
think beyond what you already know and
to inquire into the unknown as an act of
creation. Yasuhiko Kimura is an integral
philosopher, writer, and lecturer. He is
widely recognized for his unique ability to
integrate advanced Western thought with
the intuitive sensibilities of Eastern
spiritual traditions. Originally from Japan,
Kimura was ordained as a Buddhist priest
in the Soto school of Zen at the age of
twenty-one. He traveled to India to further
his study of Eastern philosophy and
religion, eventually moving to the United
States to pursue his work in the integration
of spiritual philosophy and physical
science. Kimura is passionate about
evolution and human development, and is
keenly aware of the urgent life conditions
we face across the globe. He is the
founder and chairman of Vision-In-Action,
a public benefit corporation whose mission
is to promote original thinking as a
comprehensive and creative approach to
restore wholeness and integrity to our
deeply divided world. He is also the
editor-in-chief of he Journal of Integral
Thinking for Visionary Action. In this
interview with Mitchell, Kimura describes
his work with both philosophical and poetic
nuance, speaking to the heart of what we
know to be true, as well as want to be true
relative to the creation of a world we all
know most deeply is possible. The two
interact delightfully to create a joyful, and
enjoable learning environment.

BEYOND THE POLITICS OF
LIFE AND CHOICE: A NEW
NEW
CONVERSATION ABOUT
ABORTION
By John Ankele,Anne Macksoud
This
timely
and
exceptionally
thought-provoking documentary moves
the contentious debate over abortion out
from behind politicized battle lines and into
a compassionate and sensitive space,
where people with opposing views can
meet to better understand the deep
concerns of one another. The film weaves
together
thoughtful
and
eloquent
commentary by activists, legal experts,
theologians, seminarians, college students,
service providers, and women for whom
the decision to terminate or not to
terminate a pregnancy has been a
formative event in their lives. All bring
admirable nuance and insight to a subject
often avoided and fraught with prejudice,
stereotypes, tension, and fear.
Scenes filmed at protest demonstrations,
prenatal care centers, abortion clinics,
college campuses, and in Third-World
countries provide additional context to the
commentary.
The film
explores
a wide array of
the abortion debate to listen to each
other with respect and compassion.
An invaluable tool for stimulating
discussion in women's studies,
sociology, and ethics courses, the
film's wide-ranging interviews and
conversations
expand
our
understanding of the complex issues
surrounding abortion." -- Prof.
Elizabeth
C.
Fine,
Director,
Humanities Program, Dept. of
Interdisciplinary Studies, Virginia Tech
overlapping issues and questions at the
heart of the abortion debate:
When does new life begin and when
does a fetus become a person? Does
the potential for personhood make a
fetus a person immediately? What
does openness to creation really
mean in practice?
Should reverence for life include
reverence for the complexity of life? Is
"innocent life" not threatened by
poverty, domestic abuse, social
violence, and war as well as by
abortion? Do our theories of right and
wrong address reality?
Is sex for procreation only? What
about intimacy and commitment?
What about sex education?
Will criminalizing abortion make it go
away? Does abortion liberate women,
or does it burden them with grief and
shame? What are the rights and
responsibilities of men with regard to
unintended pregnancies?
The film concludes with a poignant
conversation between Angie and
Barbara, two longtime friends whose
simultaneous pregnancies highlighted
their opposing views on abortion.
"Without overblown rhetoric, without
bombastic posturing, this impressive
video captures the complex issues
surrounding abortion. The many
people interviewed reflect a wide
range of ideas and life experiences.
The quiet conversation among these
people provides ample room for
necessary dialogue. I couldn't help
but rethink my own, lifelong views on
abortion after listening to all these
people. Students and faculty will
benefit from this reasoned and
compelling exploration of abortion.
Watching the film gave me hope that
there might just be a way to have an
intelligent and critical discussion on
this vital issue." -- Anne-Marie Drew,
Prof. of English, US Naval Academy
"A very powerful and well-balanced
presentation on one of the great
societal issues of our time. I must
admit I did not always agree with
some points of view, but that is to be
expected given the nature of the
subject.
Students
on
college
campuses will find the video very
engaging, no matter what their
personal beliefs. It is clear that the
film has tried to present the subject in
a way that is meant to encourage
people to reflect on the issue in a
non-polarizing way. I believe most
students
will
appreciate
that
orientation." -- Gerry Silverstein, Prof.
of Biology, University of Vermont
"More than just another emotionally
heated volley of arguments over a
woman's right to terminate an
unwanted
pregnancy,
this
documentary... opens the door for
continuing
discussion
on
sex
education, unwanted pregnancy, and
abortion. Recommended." -- Dr. Carol
Holzberg, in Booklist (American
Library Assn.)
The DVD also contains Special Features
that delve deeper into related issues that
could not be covered adequately in the
film itself, including such topics as
adoption,
religion
and
abortion,
reproductive justice and women of color,
the possibility of finding common ground,
and a conversation with Dan and Sidney
Callahan, a loving married couple whose
opposing views on abortion demonstrate
the disparity and complexity of opinion on
this subject. Such conversations remind
us of our capacity to love and respect
those who disagree with us.
Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice will
inspire compassionate listening and
open-hearted discussion in a variety of
courses in women's and gender studies,
psychology, sociology, ethics, political
science, public health, social justice,
communication, conflict resolution, and
contemporary social problems.
Reviews
"This film is the perfect ticket to lively,
open classroom
discussion of
Pro-Life and Pro-Choice issues.
Because so many perspectives are
given concise, passionate, eloquent
expression,
students
will
be
stimulated to think and speak their
minds. Combined with the DVD's
excellent Special Features, the film
provides a basis for several hours of
rewarding discussion and a launch
pad for many thoughtful essays." -Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Prof.
Emeritus of Women's Studies and
English, William Paterson University
of New Jersey

Simple in construction and dazzlingly rich
in human insight, Bicycle Thieves

who joined the Army to fight in Afghanistan,
was deployed instead to Iraq, and was

down on his fifth day in-country. Extensive

BILL MOYERS JOURNAL:
MAY 16, 2008
Facing John McCain in the 2008
presidential election will be a status
quo-shaking candidate: a woman or a
black man. Could the candidate who has
won more votes, more states, and more
delegates lose in November, and could the
reason be gender or race? In this edition
of the Journal, Bill Moyers moderates as
Obama adviser Chris Edley and Clinton
superdelegate Maria Echaveste—Edley’s
wife—debate this question and related
issues.
In
addition,
award-winning
journalist Melody Petersen, author of Our
Daily Meds, talks about the dangers of Big
Pharma, which she says has become
market driven. A Bill Moyers essay on the
Senate’s “resolution of disapproval”
against the FCC’s recent vote to let one
company own both a broadcast station
and the major daily newspaper in the
same market rounds out the program.

BIOFUEL FROM BRAZIL.
SUGAR: ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY SOURCE
Brazil claims to have stolen a march on
the industrial world. It's developed a
cost-effective alternative to petroleum by
growing sugar to produce ethanol.
Brazil's sugar crops are a great source of
the petrol-substitute ethanol. And now
rising oil prices and Brazil's production of
ethanol have led to an automotive
revolution in the country.
Car manufacturers in Brazil have created
the flex car -- a vehicle that can run on
either ethanol or petrol, or any
combination of the two. Over 1.3 million
flex cars are now running in Brazil - more
than half total car sales
The foundations for the country's "sweet
revolution" were laid during the oil crisis in
the 1970s, when Brazil's military-led
government bankrolled the development
of the ethanol industry.
Ethanol can be produced from many crops
but, in Brazil, it is made from the most
potent and cost effective crop of them all,
sugar cane. Brazil is the world's largest
exporter of sugar and the biggest producer
of ethanol.
Sugar has been grown in Brazil for
centuries, it's the conversion to alcohol
that's a relatively new phenomenon.
In north-east Brazil, much of the
harvesting continues to be done by hand.
Each man works a 10 hour day, 6 days a
week, and cuts 8.5 tons of cane.
The Brazilian government sees ethanol as
a chance for the country to boost its
economy by becoming a major exporter.
Car manufacturers claim that the change
to cars running on ethanol can be
achieved without great costs. Special
software helps the car to adjust for
whatever mix of petrol or ethanol it's using.
But it's not just on the roads that ethanol is
powering Brazil. The world's first
ethanol-fuelled planes are now being built.
In Brazil, the price of fuel has helped
convert millions to ethanol. But they're
also claiming environmental advantages
because ethanol exhaust gasses are
cleaner.
But not everyone is convinced that ethanol
is Brazil's environmental saviour. Burning
off sugar cane before the harvest is widely
considered to be bad environmental
practice.
And although ethanol may be a renewable
fuel, growing more sugar puts pressure on
home soil. The sugar industry has a bad
track record when it comes to looking after
the environment, and forests throughout
Brazil are being destroyed by the sugar
farmers.

BIOGRAPHIES: WORLD
STUDIES - MEET TAME ITI
(TUHOR, MAORI) - MEET
"THE PRICK"
Many people love to go back to their roots,
to learn of their ancestry, to go back in
time as far as they can. For some it is a
lesson in history, for others it's a personal
experience
that
adds
a
deeper
appreciation of their family and of
themselves. For Tame Iti, it's much more
than that. For Tame, he's Tuhoe first,
Maori Second, and would claim Aotearoa
as his country ahead of New Zealand,
where he resides. He is a man whose face
and body are covered in tattoos; thus the
term "prick" has a dual meaning, one for
his body art, the other picks up a phrase
used by both sides between Iti and a
conservative politician. Certainly a unique
documentary about a unique man, this
program too offers an intellectual look at a
clash of cultures, where one man, very
openly outspoken, who would prefer to
remain on of the "children of the mist,"
forces the question to be asked, what is
wrong with not wanting to be part of
today's modern societies?

BIRD FLU WARS
By David Carr-Brown
Loussouarn, ARTE
Anne
The international scientific community has
been monitoring the bird flu virus (known
as H5 N1) since 1997 when seven people
died in Hong Kong. The victims all had
had contact with live bird markets there. Dr.
Guan Yi, a professor at the University of
Hong Kong, explains the path of infection
in Southeast Asia (Vietnam was the

and
"epicenter") in 2003 and 2005 when wild
birds infected poultry on small farms. The
poultry was then handled by humans who
became infected.
Bird Flu Wars recounts the diverse plans
explored at the emergency meetings held
in 2006 at the WHO (World Health
Organization) headquarters in Geneva to
prevent the virus from becoming a
pandemic. Some of these plans call for the
massive destruction of areas infected by
the virus, preventive vaccinations of
poultry and the industrialization of
breeding. Many countries are stockpiling
Tamiflu, the only recommended anti-viral
medication. Unfortunately, some countries
like Vietnam cannot cope economically
with what is required to suppress H5 N1.
For now, the Swiss pharmaceutical
company La Roche is producing Tamiflu
vaccine in huge quantities in their thirteen
closely guarded factories. To date, they
refuse to release the formula so that the
vaccine can be produced generically.
If in the future the virus mutates to a
human flu; it then could be easily
transmitted from human to human,
endangering a huge population. At that
point, the world would have to wait for a
vaccine that could be put into production
quickly. Would there be enough anti- viral
medicine for everyone in need?

BIRDSONG AND COFFEE: A
WAKE UP CALL
By John Ankele,Anne Macksoud
This
incisive
and
multifaceted
documentary explores the inextricable
economic and environmental connections
between farmers in Latin America, coffee
drinkers in the U.S., and the fate of
migratory songbirds throughout the
Americas.
The
film
powerfully
demonstrates how coffee drinkers in this
and other developed countries hold in their
hands the fate of farm families, farming
communities, and entire ecosystems in
coffee-growing regions worldwide.
Birdsong and Coffee is divided into two
sections. The first examines the
background and global intricacy of the
"coffee crisis," an ongoing situation that
Seth Petchers of Oxfam International
describes
as
a
"humanitarian
catastrophe." Coffee is the second
most-traded commodity on earth, after oil.
Interweaving a wide array of expert
commentary, the film shows that 25 million
coffee growers worldwide are paid a mere
pittance in the corporate marketplace
while bearing the full brunt of global price
fluctuations.
When prices crash, farmers go hungry and
their children are forced to drop out of
school.
Families
are
separated,
communities disintegrate, and the land is
cleared for other crops or other means of
livelihood. Such clearing of the land -- like
the more "efficient" process of sun-grown
coffee production -- disrupts the
ecosystem in ways that have deadly
consequences for migratory songbirds, in
particular, and for global ecological
balance, in general.
To illustrate, we meet the coffee growers
of Agua Buena in the rainforest of
southern Costa Rica, who welcome us into
their homes and fields and describe in
their own words the labor-intensive
process of shade-grown coffee production.
Their lives vividly exemplify the unjust
effects of global market mechanisms that
keep coffee growers' prices down even as
the retail prices for coffee increase in the
U.S.
The second section of the film examines a
variety of simple but effective solutions to
the coffee crisis based on what Robert
Rice of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird
Center calls the "natural organic
connection that exists between farmers,
coffee drinkers, and birds." Featured are
students, faculty, and staff at the
University of California at Santa Cruz, who
introduce and explain the rationale behind
and the importance of Fair Trade coffee.
They and others demonstrate that by
changing our buying habits, coffee
consumers can not only guarantee
farmers a fair price and a sustainable
livelihood, but also protect migratory
songbirds and the global environment -- all
while enjoying the highest-quality coffee,
sometimes even sent directly to our
homes by the farmers themselves.
The film also clearly explains the
differences between market designations
for coffee such as Free Trade, Fair Trade,
Fair Trade Organic, Fair Trade Direct, and
Bird-Friendly and Shade Grown, and it
concludes by suggesting ways for viewers
to become involved in the Fair Trade
movement in their own communities.
The DVD also contains several Special
Features that enhance its usefulness in
the classroom. These include Coffee To
Go, a 23-minute version of the whole film
that was edited down to air on the PBS
series Natural Heroes in the Fall of 2007.
This edited version focuses on the Fair
Trade Direct relationship between coffee
farmers in Costa Rica and students at the
University of California at Santa Cruz. It
encapsulates in a shorter version much of
the key information in the complete film.
There is also a 10-minute Special Feature
that explains "Agroecology" and a
16-minute Feature on the Community
Agroecology Network at the University of
California at Santa Cruz.
Birdsong and Coffee will engage students
and motivate thought and discussion in a
variety of courses in development and
global studies, Latin American studies,
economics, environmental issues, ethics,
ornithology, and political science.
Reviews
"Using coffee as the central theme,
this documentary illustrates the
intersection between social, economic,
political, and environmental issues. It
is an excellent tool for courses that
want to provide an interdisciplinary
perspective to students. It also
illustrates
very
effectively
the
importance of the connection between
producers
and
consumers
in
developing alternatives to corporate
globalization." -- Ivette Perfecto, Prof.
of Natural Resources, University of
Michigan
"One of the few films that manages to
eloquently integrate the issues of
environmentally friendly production,
the benefits and contradictions of
sustainable coffee certification, and
the promise of emerging alternative
models (for example, the Community
Agroecology Network). One of the
film's main strengths is that it fully
captures the voices of coffee
producers, something seldom done in
films that also address market and
environmental issues from a global
perspective." -- V. Ernesto Mendez,
Asst. Prof., Environmental Program,
University of Vermont
"This film is the single best
educational device I have seen -- and
I have seen many -- for increasing
people's understanding about how we
can restructure the global economy in
a
democratic
and
ecological
direction." -- Dr. Kevin Danaher,
Co-Founder, Global Exchange
"Gathers the various threads of
problems facing the coffee industry
and
makes
the
logical
but
not-so-obvious connections to weave
a compelling story for anyone
interested where our coffee comes
from, as well as the social and natural
landscapes
involved
in
its
production." -- Dr. Robert Rice,
Research Scientist, Smithsonian
Institute

Ever wonder what a piranha tastes like?
What about live worms? Now's your
chance to find out as Bizarre Foods host
Andrew Zimmern travels the world on a
fascinating mission to indulge in some of
the weirdest foods you can imagine! You
won't be able to look away as Zimmern
puts his iron stomach to the test,
swallowing all sorts of exotic creatures and
unthinkable body parts. If you dare, come
along on this wild gastronomical adventure,
and open wide for a taste of daredevil
dining!
Episodes:
MOROCCO: Join Andrew Zimmern as he
takes a culinary tour through Morocco
where he finds everything from lamb's
head to pigeon pie on the menu.
SPAIN: The gastronomical world tour
continues with a trip through Spain where
Andrew chows down on suckling pig
brains, bull testicles and just about
everything in between.
PHILIPPINES: The acclaimed dining critic
is off to the island nation of The Philippines
- where he feasts on local favorites such
as crickets, stuffed frogs and even live
worms.
ECUADOR: Guinea pigs, piranhas,
coconut grubs - it's all in a day's work for
this culinary adventurer as he takes a bite
out of the South American country of
Ecuador.
NEW YORK CITY: Andrew heads to his
hometown where he is reminded why he
got involved in global food foraging as he
embraces the wide range of exotic dining
this great city has to offer.
Tadesse Meskela is a man on a mission to
save Ethiopia's 74,000 struggling coffee
farmers from bankruptcy. Tadesse is
manager of the Oromia Coffee Farmers
Cooperative Union.
The supply of coffee on the world market
used to be regulated by the International
Coffee Agreement until its collapse in 1989.
Since then the price of coffee has fallen to
a 30 year low.
Globally two billion cups of coffee are
drunk every day. But Ethiopian coffee
farmers get a tiny fraction of the price paid
for a cup of coffee by the western
consumer.
Four multinational companies dominate
the world coffee market - Kraft, Nestle,
Proctor & Gamble and Sara Lee. The
international price of coffee is established
in New York and London.
As his farmers strive to harvest some of
the highest quality coffee beans on the
international market, Tadesse travels the
world in an attempt to find buyers willing to
pay a fair price.
Chains of middlemen lie between coffee
farmers and the roasters who prepare the
coffee for sale to the consumer. The aim of
Tadesse's co-op is to break these chains,
and increase the end price to the farmer.
Business for the giant coffee shop chain
Starbucks is booming. But life in Sidama,
Ethiopia, from which the US multinational
gets its coffee, is grim. A famine is in
progress, and the low price of coffee is
making people poorer.
UNITED KINGDOM: Haggis, neeps and
tatties, cockles and whelks - this food
aficionado is about to experience a
whimsical journey through the UK.
Meanwhile Tadesse is in London looking
for customers for his fair traded coffee. But
competition for space on the supermarket
shelves is intense. He makes the case for
consumers buying fair traded goods.
AMERICA'S
GULF
COAST:
The
renowned food writer takes a slow cruise
across America's Gulf Coast in hopes of
filling up on everything from pig guts to
water rodents and raccoons.
On a global scale, Africa is the only
continent in the world to have got poorer in
the last 20 years. It has become more
dependent on emergency aid from
countries like the US than ever before.
Review
"Less dangerous than Anthony
Bourdain, less annoying than Rachael
Ray and less cloying than Paula Deen,
Mr. Zimmern is a delight." - THE NEW
YORK TIMES
Developing world countries argue the
rules of global trade are biased against
them, and that if they were allowed to
compete fairly they would need far less
aid.

BLAST OF SILENCE
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Allen Baron
DIRECTOR(S): Allen Baron
Swift, brutal, and black- hearted, Allen
Baron's New York City noir Blast of
Silence is a sensational surprise. This lowbudget, carefully crafted portrait of a hit
man on assignment in Manhattan during
Christmastime follows its stripped-down
narrative with mechanical precision, yet
also with an eye and ear for the oddball
idiosyncrasies of urban living and the
imposing beauty of the city's locations. At
once visually ragged and artfully
composed, and featuring rough, poetic
narration by Lionel Stander, Blast of
Silence is a stylish triumph.

BLENDING DEFENSIVE
TRANSITION WITH HALF
COURT DEFENSE
With Chris Lowery
In this clinic demonstration, Coach Lowery
goes through a number of drills to help
strengthen your defensive transition game.
Coach Lowery expects his post players to
defend, and all players must get up into
the ball and keep the 5 second count alive.
The drills he demonstrates feature a
number of game type situations in which
your players will find themselves in. These
situations include communicating and
stopping the ball as a player hustles from
behind, trapping at the half court line and
disadvantage situations
where
the
defenders must scramble, communication
and always guard the ball. Other skills
Lowery touches on are rebounding,
one-on-one defense and closing out.

BLING
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Raekwon, Paul Wall,
Kanye West
DIRECTOR(S): Raquel Cepeda
You might have spent thousands on the
diamond you're rockin'...but do you know
how much bling really costs? In this
riveting, unforgettable film, a few of
Hip-Hop's finest - Raekwon of Wu-Tang
Clan, Paul Wall and Tego Calderon - travel
to war-torn Sierra Leone, West Africa, and
come face to face with the real cost of
bling. On their emotional journey, they
meet people who've been affected by
conflict or "blood" diamonds, including
miners, amputees and former child
soldiers. The filmmaker explores the
cultural significance of diamond jewelry in
Hip-Hop and traces its evolution from early
'80s old school ghetto culture to the
bling-encrusted billion-dollar industry it is
today. Featuring interviews with Kanye
West, Big Daddy Kane, Jadakiss and
Juelz Santana, Bling is without question
one of the most powerful films you will
ever see.

BLOCKER/MOVER
OFFENSIVE SYSTEM, THE
THE
With Dick Bennett
The essential parts of the blocker/mover
offense are broken down in the half court
as Coach Bennett explains all aspects.
Bennett shows the whole offense first,
then breaks down the parts later in the
DVD. He introduces the concept of "sides"
meaning that the blocker has the job to
screen others on his side of the floor. The
major part of good offense is the ability to
pass and handle the ball effectively. Four
essential drills are demonstrated to
reinforce simplicity and great execution.

Michael Joyce and two student directors
demonstrate the basic steps in blocking a
scene. They begin with script analysis,
dividing the scene into working units, while
providing practical tips for laying out and
developing a floor plan. Each student
director tackles the same scene but with a
different approach while Joyce analyzes
the blocking process and discusses
alternatives. The work demonstrated in
this video is based on a scene from

BLOOD AND OIL: THE
DANGERS &
CONSEQUENCES OF
AMERICA'S GROWING
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN
FOREIGN
PETROLEUM
Featuring Michael T. Klare
With clarity and urgency, Blood and Oil
transcends partisan politics to show how
six decades of failed government policy
have increased America’s dependence on
foreign oil and made its energy and
defense policies virtually interchangeable.
Against the grain of leaders and pundits
who have dismissed and belittled claims
that the U.S. has sacrificed the lives of its
troops and countless others around the
world to feed its oil habit, the film exposes
a fundamental connection between
diminishing global petroleum supplies,
skyrocketing rates of global consumption,
and successive American wars and
military interventions. Based on the
critically-acclaimed book by international
security expert Michael T. Klare.

or identities, are at the root of most

BLOODLINES
By Cynthia Connop
Bettina Goering, grandniece of Herman
Goering, has long tried to bury the dark
legacy of her family history. Painter Ruth
Rich, a daughter of Holocaust survivors,
cannot resolve her deep-rooted anger
over the suffering of her parents and the
loss of an older brother in the Holocaust.
Bettina seeks out Ruth in an attempt to
confront her enormous guilt and her fear
that the capacity for evil is in her blood.
When the women meet, their hidden guilt
and rage clash in a series of intimate and
extraordinary meetings.
Provocative
and
deeply
moving,
BLOODLINES by Cynthia Connop follows
Ruth and Bettina as they face the past in
their quest to heal the future. Their
meetings are interspersed with individual
interviews, powerful images from Ruth’s
paintings and archival photos. This
contemporary film brings to light, in a way
never before seen, the unwritten cost of
war and genocide on future generations of
both victims and perpetrators. Given
recent events in Darfur, Rwanda and
Serbia, this film provides relevant and
timely insight into the difficult process of
reconciliation and forgiveness, and the
long-term consequences of hatred.

BLOODY CARTOONS:
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
EXPRESSION
AND THE CLASH OF
CULTURES
In 2005, a handful of Danish cartoons
sparked a worldwide debate over freedom
of expression—and the freedom to
express religious outrage. Was a violent
Islamic backlash against caricatures of the
prophet Mohammed justified? Can
democracy and fundamentalism coexist in
the global community? This program
travels to Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Qatar, and
Turkey, as well as to France and Denmark,
in search of answers. Viewers will
encounter a wide array of perspectives
from influential figures—such as Raed
Hlayhel, the Danish Imam who moved to
Lebanon to spearhead protests, Sheikh
Yusef al-Qaradawi, the al-Jazeera Islamic
televangelist who called for a “day of
anger” against the cartoons, and leading
staff members of newspapers that
published them.

BOB HUGGINS' DRILLS FOR
MANMAN-TOTO-MAN DEFENSE
With Bob Huggins
In Coach Huggins' defense, the middle of
the floor - the shoot - is an area where the
ball is not allowed. Pushing the ball to the
sideline is the goal of this defense. A major
concept in Huggins' defense is not
allowing straight line passes. To execute
this, players are taught to be on the line of
the ball to make the pass go over the top
instead of directly to the receiver. The
result has an affect on the offense by
making them move away from the basket
to catch the ball. Every day Huggins runs
a simple 2-on-2 drill to emphasize getting
to the ball, or "sprint to help." The shell drill
incorporates all of these principles and
does not allow direct line passes. Another
key drill is 1-one-1 closeout drill from
basket to the top of the key. The help and

recover/penetrate and pitch drill forces
players to cover area and stresses closing
out with hands up and denying penetration.
The 3-on-1 close out drill forces the
defender to react to the direction of the
pass. Huggins wants to deny the ball to
the post and shares his thoughts and a
drill for post defense. Getting through
screens is taught from an anticipation
standpoint to beat the cutter to the ball.
This drill is done with blocking pads to
simulate contact on the screen.

BODY LANGUAGE I:
BEYOND WORDS
Some of your students may be bilingual
and some may have taken a course in
Spanish, Latin, or Japanese. But are any
of them fluent in Kinesics? Kinesics is the
study of body language as a form of
communication.
People engaged in a conversation may
exchange 200 words per minute, but more
than half of their communication is
nonverbal. We often use gestures,
postures and eye contact without thinking
twice about them, but these behaviors can
communicate so much beyond the words
that we use. The way we treat our
personal space and that of others can
send a message that is loud and clear,
even if we never speak a word.
This program is an informative look into
the fascinating world of nonverbal
communication. Body Language I guides
viewers through the land of space wars,
tongue showing, mirrored postures and
the many layers that make up unspoken
communication.

BODY LANGUAGE II:
READING PEOPLE
When we read a billboard, its message is
usually larger than life and quite clear. Is it
possible to read people’s thoughts and
feelings just by looking at them? Well, we
can get pretty close if we learn to identify
the silent signals they send.
We send signals all the time and may not
even be aware of it. Gestures we use and
faces we make send signals. The volume,
speed and inflections of our voices
communicate in ways that we many not
intend. Through the study of emblems,
illustrators, affect displays and eye
behavior, a student of body language can
gain insight to what people express
beyond the words that they use. When
people do use words, students can learn
to identify and interpret paralanguage.
This
program
provides
valuable
information about interpreting body
language by presenting fun, easy to
understand and real life examples. If your
students apply this information and do
some intelligent people watching, they’ll
see a whole new world of communication
they may never have noticed.

Before carving out a niche as one of the
most distinct voices in nineties American
cinema , Allison Anders made her debut,
alongside codirectors and fellow UCLA
film school students Kurt Voss and Dean
Lent, with 1987's Border Radio. A low-key,
semi-improvised postpunk diary that took
four years to complete, Border Radio
features legendary rocker Chris D. of the
Flesh Eaters as a singer/songwriter who
has stolen loot from a club and gone
missing, leaving his wife (Luanna Anders),
a no-nonsense rock journalist, to track him
down with the help of his friends (John
Doe of the band X; Chris Shearer). With its
sprawling Southern Californian and
Mexican landscape, captured in evocative
16mm black-and-white, Border Radio is a
singular, DIY memento of the indie film
explosion in America.

BORINQUENEERS, THE
Directed by Noemi Figueroa Soulet
The Borinqueneers is the first major
documentary
to
chronicle
the
never-before-told story of the Puerto Rican
65th Infantry Regiment, the only
all-Hispanic unit in the history of the U.S.
Army. Narrated by Hector Elizondo.
The 65th Infantry Regiment was created in
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

81
1899 by the U.S. Congress as a
segregated unit composed primarily of
Puerto Ricans with mostly continental
officers. It went on to serve meritoriously in
three wars: World War I, World War II and
the Korean War. The unit was nicknamed
after “Borinquen”, the word given to Puerto
Rico by its original inhabitants, the Taino
Indians, meaning "land of the brave lord".
Puerto Ricans occupy a special place in
the history of the U.S. Army. Because of
the island’s commonwealth status, they
don't have the right to vote in U.S.
elections, and yet they serve in the military
and can be drafted. For many of the
veterans of the 65th, this paradox became
an incentive to be even more patriotic, and
to prove themselves in battle. Although
thousands of Puerto Ricans have served
courageously in the Armed Forces, their
contribution and sacrifices have gone
largely unnoticed. Until now.
A result of extensive historical research
and interviews with 250 veterans and
commanding officers of the 65th Infantry
from all over the United States and Puerto
Rico, The Borinqueneers explores the rich
history of this unique regiment, from its
very beginnings to its final and
controversial desegregation.

whose World War II documentary
drew sharp criticism from Latino and
American Indian groups for initially
ignoring their contributions during that
war…. The Borinqueneers gives a

its due.” – The New York Times
“An excellent choice for libraries….
The strength of the film is the
commentary provided by former
members; they are exceptionally
candid
about
their
military
experiences, reasons for serving, and
relationships formed under fire.
Historians’ and former military officers’
commentary provide an outside view
of the regiment, praising their heroism
and bravery. The film also examines
how mismanagement of the unit by
assigning
non-Spanish-speaking
officers led to mass insubordination
and the arrest of 100 soldiers. A
number of relevant topics are covered:
racism in the military, America’s
relationship with Puerto Rico, and the
Korean conflict. But what makes the
film
most
compelling
is
its
examination
of
friendship and
camaraderie under fire.” - School
Library Journal
"The
Borinqueneers,
is
both
informative and heartbreaking. The
film is a necessary step in revealing
the complex history of these Puerto
Rican soldiers — brave, proud
men — and their contributions should
be celebrated, especially given how
they’re glaringly absent from history
books… the film is dense and
well-researched, and it does its best
to remain objective, instead largely
allowing viewers to interpret these
historical events according to their
own belief systems." - Si TV

BRAHMS SYMPHONIES,
THE
Conductor: Kurt Masur
Composer: Brahms
BRAND NEW OPRY, THE:
ANOTHER TIME VOL. 1
The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra is
conducted by Kurt Masur in their first-ever
recording of all four Brahms symphonies,
from the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in
1991.
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Jonathan McEuen,
Phil Salazar, Mark Searcy, Tom Corbett,
Randy Tico & Orest Balaban, Jamie
Hanna, John McEuen, Nathan McEuen
Kurt Masur also gives an in-depth
interview prior to each symphony, both
thought-provoking and stimulating, in
which he talks about his family
background and his long association with
this world-famous orchestra, having
studied, like many members of the
orchestra, at the Leipzig Conservatoire.
He also discusses Brahms’ four
symphonies, which he sees as a single
great inspiration, with each symphony like
a separate movement, together amounting
to the symphony of Brahms’ life. It is
fascinating to hear them performed as a
cycle with a consistent approach and by a
conductor and an orchestra with such a
distinguished and distinctive tradition. If
you believe, as Kurt Masur does, that the
four symphonies are related, that one
leads to the other and together they form a
single grand symphonic sweep, then it can
make you hear them in a totally different
way.
Review
“Last night … the reason this music
was at last reaching me – not
teaching me anything I didn’t already
know about it – finally came home.
And that reason was the sheer
honesty and integrity of the
interpretation and performance. I tell
you this: it did it for me.” - THE

BREAKOUT DRILLS
With Mark Carlson
Breakouts are necessary to create the
dangerous 2-on-1 plays. Coach Carlson
covers the key breakout ingredients quick, move the puck, timing, talking, read
pressure and maintain puck support - in
these drills. Details include getting to the
puck quickly, check shoulder, not handling
the puck, forwards in position and support
of the puck. The defense drill uses only
the defensemen in a 2-on-2 alignment.
The next drill involves one defenseman
and one forward and can be run out of
both ends. The Mohawk Turn is a skill
used in this drill where the player's chest is
facing middle rink, ready to receive a pass.
Breakout options include adding two
defensemen with two forwards at both
ends. Other drills focus on support and
positioning, reading pressure in the neutral
zone and reading pressure in breakouts.
These drills are fundamental in nature and
rely on many small details to assure
execution.

ACTORS/ARTISTS: Jean-Paul Belmondo,

DIRECTOR(S): Jean-Luc Godard
There was before Breathless, and there
was after Breathless. With its lack of polish,
surplus of attitude, crackling personalities
of rising stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and
Jean Seberg, and anything-goes crime
narrative, Jean-Luc Godard's debut
fashioned a simultaneous homage to and
critique of the American film genres that
influenced and rocked him as a film writer
for Cahiers du Cinema. Jazzy, free-form,
and sexy, Breathless ( A bout de souffle)
helped launch the French new wave and
ensured cinema would never be the same.

"Modern movies begin here, with
Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless in

BRINGING THE HEAT WITH
WITH
A PRESSURE ATTACK
With Bill Shepard
In this excellent DVD, Coach Shepard
shares his "Triple A" (alignment,
assignment, attack) defensive system.
This system features stunting with a
pressure gap defense and formation
stunts to 'turn up the heat.' Using a
pressure defense results in getting in the
gap, blowing up the play before it develops
and
decreasing
the
opponent's
momentum, all of which disrupts the
offense and controls the flow of the game.
Shepard uses the overhead projector and
game footage clips to illustrate his
pressure defense. Specific packages are
Easy, Ghost, Stampede and Crunch - each
give unique looks that can be added to
your pressure attack. If you are looking for
a pressure package that works well
against passing teams as well as running
teams.

BRUTE FORCE
Actots/Artists: Burt Lancaster, Hume
Cronyn, Ann Blyth
Director(s): Jules Dassin
As hard-hitting as its title, Brute Force was
the first of Jules Dassin's forays into the
crime genre, a prison melodrama that
takes a critical look at American society as
well. Burt Lancaster is the timeworn Joe
Collins, who, along with his fellow inmates,
lives under the heavy thumb of the sadistic,
power-tripping guard Captain Munsey (a
riveting Hume Cronyn). Only Collins's
dreams of escape keep him going, but
how can he possibly bust out of Munsey's
chains? Matter-of-fact and ferocious,
Brute Force builds to an explosive climax
that shows that man's desperation for
freedom knows no bounds.

Reviews
"Vivid and visually stunning." - THE
NEW YORK TIMES
"Here's one movie you'll want to see
with an audience of squealing, excited,
terrified kids, their arms extended
greedily to grab, squish or ward off all
things exoskeletal and beady-eyed.
It's gross, but in the nicest way
(meaning no roaches)." - NEW YORK

BUILDING A DEVASTATING
DEVASTATING
4-3 BASE DEFENSE
With Al Fracassa, and featuring Larry
Zimmerman and Jamie Boerkel
Brother Rice assistants Larry Zimmerman
and Jamie Boerkel share insights into
what it takes to build a dominating 43
defense and how to teach key strategies
to make it effective. You'll get detailed
information on game-tested 4-3 defense
techniques such as defensive-end play in
the 4-3, keeping tight ends from sealing
the Mike linebacker, engaging the tight
end as he comes off the line, keys for
developing "defensive radar" when the
offensive front is in a two-point stance,
stopping the quarterback trap and more.
As a bonus, you'll also get inside
information on getting nine players in the
box in Match 3 Cover to stop an
opponent's running attack. Another
version of the 4-3 defense shown is the
Bear Defense, which works well in the red
zone. By watching game footage, you'll
witness the Bear Defense in action and
learn the best ways to make it successful.
You'll also get in-depth knowledge on
defensive backs, coverages, the Cover-2
Shell (a zone with the safeties over the
top), Cover-3, Cover-4 and more!

BUILDING A MANMAN-TOTO-MAN
DEFENSE
With Mark Fox
Coach Fox's mantra is "if you don't defend,
you
don't
play." Holding
players
accountable for defensive play starts with
a commitment to that end of the floor.
Coaches need to determine the most
effective way to protect the basket. Fox
teaches players to take charges to protect
the goal. Another key is playing the pass
as well as defending the dribble. The
one-on-one drill emphasizes tracing the
ball with hands. This drill can be done full
court or stationary. Defending on the wing
takes a square stance while defending the
pass and the dribble. The shell drill puts
several components of defense together
into one drill. This versatile shell drill
allows the coach to cover multiple
situations that occur in a game. A defender
must be able to guard every spot on the
floor. Fox teaches his philosophy on
teaching the down screen, back screen,
on ball screen, curl cut, denying cutters,
help side position, one-on-one from the
wing, help and recover, getting through
screens and the cross screen.

BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL
SUCCESSFUL
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
Price
: USD 59.99
With Kevin Sutton
In 22 years, Coach Sutton has built three
successful
high
school
programs.
Program building must include vision, plan
of action, resources and support,
infrastructure and foundation. All members
of the team live by a mission statement
that sets the standard and expectations of
all team members. The vision statement
requires you to define who you are and
what success is to you. Determining what
kind of coach you are forces you to decide
on a style of play. Goals and objective are
also a part of Sutton's vision statement.
The plan of action allows you to achieve
the goals and objectives that you establish.
Bringing the community together is a
major part of the plan of action for building
a successful program. A positive
relationship with faculty and administration
is needed to bring all parties together on a
common path. Laying a foundation is the
difference between good teams and good
programs. Roots of foundation are
collective excellence, team accountability,
academic commitment, respect for the
program and unselfishness. Conceive it,
believe it and achieve is Coach Sutton's
message.

BUILDING GREAT DEFENSE
DEFENSE
THROUGH YOUR STANCE
With Seth Greenberg
Coach Greenberg pulls no punches in this
invigorating
defense-oriented
DVD.
Getting in a stance and staying in a stance
separates the average teams from the
great ones. Greenberg is so committed to
stance he designed an intense "stance
workout." This workout develops six great
qualities in his teams that include
toughness, discipline, togetherness, team
bonding,
peer
pressure
and
an
understanding of on and off the ball stance.
Using an entire team, Greenberg teaches
the details of defensive stance. Items like
foot alignment, elbow position, chest out,
head up and outside hand are all
important. A stickler for details, he
carefully makes corrections to each
player's stance. Instead of the standard
"step-slide" technique, Greenberg teaches
quick and short choppy steps. The goal is
to influence to the sideline, but make the
offensive player drive through your chest.
Other key areas that Greenberg covers
are the "slide-run-slide," half-court slides,
mirror/trace, off ball stance, slipping
screens, deny support, close out
technique, "low man wins" and the
all-in-one drill.

BUSINESS RESILIENCY
AND IBM SYSTEM
by Mark Shearer
Burning the Future: Coal in America
examines the explosive forces that have
set in motion a groundswell of conflict
between the coal industry and residents of
West Virginia. Confronted by an emerging
coal-based US energy policy, local
activists watch the nation praise coal
without regard to the devastation caused
by its extraction. Faced with toxic ground
water, the obliteration of 1.4 million acres
of mountains, and a government that
appeases
industry,
our
heroes
demonstrate a strength of purpose and
character in their improbable fight to
arouse the nation’s help in protecting their
mountains, saving their families, and
preserving their way of life.
How does business resiliency differ from
disaster recovery? How do I analyze
Business Resiliency requirements? Which
roles within an organization need to
participate in a resiliency analysis?

Modern enterprises must rapidly adapt to
changing business and marketplace
requirements. Adaptation, in turn, depends
on rapidly changing information systems.
But change often brings disruption, and
information systems need to be resilient
when
surrounded
by
disruptions.
Resiliency systems will enable the
enterprise to ride-out any kind of outage and be flexible enough to absorb changes
- with minimal disruption to the business.
You’ll learn the meaning of Business
Resiliency and how it differs from disaster
recovery. You’ll learn about a process to
analyze Business Resiliency requirements.
You’ll learn which roles within an
organization need to participate in the
resiliency analysis. And you’ll learn about
the Business Resiliency features of IBM’s
System I platform.
The program also includes a case study
featuring the experience of an IBM client
with extremely demanding business
resiliency requirements.

C.A.G.E. THE RAGE
BUSINESS RESILIENCY
AND IBM SYSTEM
by Mark Shearer
BUSINESS PLAN PRO 2007
2007
In this program, experts from the IBM
Rochester Lab Service Group and
Advanced IT Technical Support share
ideas and methods you can use to
improve the resiliency of your business.
How does business resiliency differ from
disaster recovery? How do I analyze
Business Resiliency requirements? Which
roles within an organization need to
participate in a resiliency analysis?
Modern enterprises must rapidly adapt to
changing business and marketplace
requirements. Adaptation, in turn, depends
on rapidly changing information systems.
But change often brings disruption, and
information systems need to be resilient
when
surrounded
by
disruptions.
Resiliency systems will enable the
enterprise to ride-out any kind of outage and be flexible enough to absorb changes
- with minimal disruption to the business.
Calm down, Assess the situation, Gauge
alternatives, and Empower yourself by
choosing how to react: that’s the way to
safely C.A.G.E. the rage. By viewing this
program, students will (1) see how to
identify anger in themselves and those
around them; (2) understand why
mismanaged anger is so destructive; (3)
discover how anger gets repressed, and
the bodily and mental illnesses that may
result from it; and (4) learn to release
anger and express emotions in an
acceptable and positive way using the
C.A.G.E. method. Scenarios in which
students model first unhealthy and then
healthy behaviors make this program a
particularly effective teaching tool. Candid
interviews with experts and teens are also
included.

THE (2005)
Actots/Artists: Doug Jones, Judson
Pearce, Morgan Daamen Krall, Richard
Herd
Director(s): David Lee Fisher
When the annual fair comes to town,
murder, madness and mayhem creep in its
shadows. Dr. Caligari, a mysterious
hypnotist, appears to control every move
of his bizarre, clairvoyant sleepwalker, but
does he? Soon after their arrival,
townspeople start disappearing and
turning up dead, which launches a
desperate murder investigation to uncover
the secret of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
Follow a new twist in the warped road of
delirium in this "remix" of this silent film era

Fisher scanned the original backgrounds
of the 1919 German Expressionist film and
put speaking actors into the mix, including
Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy,
Doom)
as
somnambulist
Cesare,
breathing new life into the work known as
the world's first horror movie. Find out why
this Caligari is not only an intriguing new
take on an unforgettable psychological
thriller but a not-to-be-missed innovation in
filmic storytelling!

Although he has never been out of
Calcutta, Vikhee, who presents himself as
Ethan to his customers, works hard to be a
top seller in what’s become a very
competitive industry. He gets tutored in the
English language, learns pronunciation
from commercials and movies, and
watches English soccer matches to gain
insight into the people he calls on a daily
basis. He is also very intent on maintaining
Indian values and customs, even as he
becomes further exposed to Western
culture and consumerism. Nokia is his
favorite cell phone brand and Levi’s his
favorite jeans, he tells us.
Calcutta Calling is a precise, immediate
snapshot of globalization at work in the
21st century.

of
never-before-seen

the throne as Emperor, Caligula enforces
a reign like no other as power and
corruption transform him into a deranged
beast whose deeds still live on as some of
the most depraved in history.

CARAVAN
By Dam Sall and Jakob Hogel
Every September a group of nomad
women in Niger travel by camel caravan
across the stark desert, 660 miles each
way. Their first stop is Fachi, an oasis
where they collect dates which they bring
to various market towns where the dates
are sold or exchanged for millet and other
goods crucial to the survival of their tribe.
The caravan is unique in that women
organize and lead it without men. The
women journey through the extremely
difficult terrain of one of the largest sand
deserts in the Sahara. The trip takes about
two weeks. The wells are two, three, or
four days apart. It takes great skill to
navigate in the desert so as not to miss
this vital water supply. Some of the women
nurse babies and carry children.
The film captures the awesome quality of
the desert and the strength and solidarity
of the women who undertake this journey
for the livelihood of their families.

CARLOS SANTANA AND
WAYNE SHORTER: LIVE AT
THE MONTREUX JAZZ
FESTIVAL
Actots/Artists: Wayne Shorter, Carlos
Santana
Director(s): Michel Dami
It began almost as a lark when Carlos
Santana encountered his longtime friend
and hero Wayne Shorter on the concert
trail in Atlanta, GA, in 1987. Carlos said,
"Let's start a rumor that we're putting a
band together."
Wayne's eyes got bigger and brighter as
he smiled and then responded: "Yeah,
Carlos, let's start a rumor."
A few months later the Carlos
Santana/Wayne Shorter Band performed
its debut concert at The Fillmore in San
Francisco, the beginning of a 26-concert
tour throughout the U.S. and Europe. The
performance of this magnificent band was
recorded at Montreux, Switzerland, on
July 14, 1988, and includes interviews with
Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter and
festival creator Claude Nobs.
By Carolee Schneemann
In her earliest film, which has been newly
transferred
to
video, Schneemann
presents an abstracted portrait of the
American composer Carl Ruggles, known
for
his
irascible
personality
and
finely-crafted atonal music. Ruggles is
seen enjoying pie a la mode and
ruminating on subjects ranging from
Christmas to his incomplete opera The
Sunken Bell. The hand-painted film stock
heightens the impressionistic vitality of this
snapshot of the 84-year-old composer,
who is heard paraphrasing Freud:
"Everything that you do is a matter of sex.
That is the great passion of life."

CARMEN SUITE (BALLET)
(BALLET)
The Bolshoi Ballet’s prima ballerina, Maya
Plisetskaya, is the star of this lyrical film of
excerpts from several of her most famous
roles. The centerpiece of the film is the
ballet of Carmen, a spectacularly
choreographed and orchestrated version
of George Bizet’s famous opera.
Also included are scenes from Glazunov’s
Raymonda, a choreographed version of a
Bach work called Prelude, and the famous
Dying Swan. This is a genuinely cinematic
treatment of ballet and dancers and not
merely a filming of a stage production.
Choreography by Vladimir Vasiliev, Alberto
Alonso and others is featured along with
spectacular conducting by composer
Rodion Shchedrin.

CAROL RUDYARD AND
INFORMATION PACKAGE:
VIDEO INSTALLATION
Following a period of painting prominent
Australian artist Carol Rudyard began to
develop a particular form of video
installation which, for her, became a
vehicle for an oblique and rather poetic
commentary on contemporary society.
Made in the climate of post-modernism,
recognisable tendencies of the time such
as irony, appropriation, lack of narrative
structure and a fusion of fine art with
popular culture are evident in these works.
Viewers are constantly engaged in an
attempt to find new meanings in the flow of
image and sound. Later projects, whilst
retaining structural similarity, are less a
critique of notions relating to art/art context
and are more involved with issues.
The six videos on DVD, together with
catalogues and other general information,
give a vivid insight into the singular oeuvre
of a widely exhibited and much awarded
Australian artist.

be pretty entertained by Germany's
first martial arts film … this movie was
awesome!" - KUNGFUCINEMA.COM
" … very impressive action scenes
that compete well with the recent crop
of martial arts releases … the film is
not an action movie that happens to
feature martial arts but is a pure kung
fu film." - WASTED TIME
"… what it does well it does very
well …the core of what makes the film
work are the two leads, Mathis
Landwehr and Volkram Zschiesche …
not only do the pair look great on
screen and have an easy, natural
rapport throughout, both are very
talented martial artists who thoroughly
impress when given the chance to

FINISHING LEG ATTACKS
ATTACKS
Two-Time NCAA Champion Ben Askren
gives you a new perspective on finishing
leg attacks. These finishes are effective
because they will keep your opponent off
balance and stop them from getting to
their counters. The techniques he
presents work especially well for those
wrestlers who don't have that "explosive"
burst when attacking, or for those times
when you get stopped in the middle of
your takedown attempt. He begins by
showing you his keys to proper positioning
for finishing a takedown. He then covers
single leg and high crotch finishes, as well
as finishes for when you get stuck
underneath on a takedown attempt and
techniques versus a sprawl and a crack
back. Included are the dump, step and trip,
leg high and his original "nerksa" finish!
These finishes allow you to score two - or
go for the fall.

CHARLES BLACKMAN DREAMS AND SHADOWS
The documentary is first and foremost a
celebration of Charles Blackman's life and
art . The film is introduced by Barry
Humphries with excerpts from one of his
early poems " The Ballad of Charles
Blackman". Apart from a few lateral asides
the film takes a chronological voyage, from
Charles's memories of childhood up until
the present time, through the " tunnel of
adolescence," and the darker aspects of
Charles's soul, across the seas to London
and back again. Along the way the film
examines Charles's contribution to the
development of a unique sense of
Australian identity. More than any other
male Australian painter, Charles has
painted from a feminine perspective - " I'm
like a cork on an ocean of femininity".
Charles explores areas of feeling that
have traditionally been suppressed feelings of love, guilt, tenderness, sadness
and isolation. This humanist approach
changed perceptions of how we as
Australians
and
the
international
community, saw this country. The epithet
"Big,Tough and Tender" applied by one
English critics to Charles's work stuck for
Australian art in general.

mystery surrounding his death and the
birth of his legend.
In October of 1967, Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara
was killed in the mountains of Bolivia. After
a brief, and macabre, photo session,
Che’s body mysteriously vanished. It
wasn’t until the collapse of the Soviet
Union – some thirty years later – that his
remains were finally discovered. This
documentary, revolutionary in its own right,
chronicles Che’s final days – from his
decision to leave Castro to his surprise
capture in Bolivia, and investigates the
role his death and the disappearance of
his body played in creating his mystique.
Incorporating
eye-witness
testimony,
political history, and never-before-seen
archival footage, Che Guevara: The Body
and The Legend is a necessary
companion to the study of Che Guevara,
both historical and contemporary Cuba,
world
politics,
and
U.S.
history.
Fascinating while informative, this film
effectively demonstrates the creation of
myth, legend, and cultural identity.

CHICKEN STAMPEDE, THE
THE
by by Jose Bourgarel & Hubert Dubois
Chicken
has
become
a
global
agribusiness, and the chicken in our super
markets may have come from far away
Thailand.
The Chicken Stampede outlines the global
forces that compete for a market in which
160,000 tons of chicken are consumed
each day, worldwide. The U.S. and Europe
used to be the leading suppliers, but this
film shows that Thailand and Brazil are
waging a fight to take over.
Not surprisingly, politics plays a big role in
the market. The World Trade Organization
used its loans to persuade the Cameroon
government to open its borders to imports.
The result was that local farmers were put
out of business. When Avian flu struck, the
largest chicken company in Thailand, CPF,
did not have to kill any of its birds,
whereas thousands of family farms were
wiped out by order of the government. It
helped to know the right people for there
had been small farmers who kept their
coops as safe and spotless as did CPF.
The French chicken farmers were being
forced out of business by the importation
of low priced frozen chicken from Brazil.
Finally a Farmers Confederation was
formed to protect the private farmers.
Through portrayals of traditional farmers
up against poultry businessmen the film
makes
us
question
whether
the
globalization of food production is good for
society.

CHILDREN OF THE SILVER
SILVER
MOUNTAIN
By Juan S. Betancor
The mines of Bolivia date back to 1545
when the Spanish conquerors who
discovered pure silver in an Inca region
dominated by a mountain they named
Cerro Rico. At its base the city of Potosi
grew, along with the largest mining
industry of its time. Four centuries later the
mines still produce silver, zinc and lead
while the miners work in hazardous
conditions that have changed little over
the years.
The film gives a brief history of COMIBOL,
the multi-mineral corporation controlled by
organized labor which failed to keep pace
with modern technology. In 1985, when
the tin market collapsed and Bolivia faced
hyperinflation, COMIBOL shut down most
of its activities. In its place miners formed
small cooperatives and continued to earn
a meager livelihood. The film shows the
difficulties of the miners lives--long hours

that can only sustained by the chewing of
coca leaves. Much of the labor is done by
hand-- even women crush rocks with
hammers in search of silver. Silicosis is
rampant for the miners breathe air laden
with silicon particles. Despite these
hardships, the miners feel a pride in their
profession and in the tradition they are
maintaining. Like their ancestors they put
their faith in an ancient demon god known
as "El Tio" and curry his favor with
offerings.
The
extraordinary
cinematography brings the viewer close to
the people and the breathtaking landscape
that is their home.

CHINA AND BRAZIL: TALES
TALES
FROM TWO CITIES
This film profiles two cities -- one in China,
one in Brazil -- with very different tales to
tell.
CHONGQING, CHINA: Chongqing in
China is already the largest city in the
world and it's growing at a rate that
beggars belief. Migrant workers flood in
from the countryside and skyscrapers
spring up. But what is the cost of rapid
industrialisation?
THE BANGBANG MAN: The film follows a
day in the life of the city and the people
who work in it. Yu Lebo is one of the army
of "bangbang" men who carry goods about
the city. He gets 20 pence for an hour of
backbreaking work.
THE BUILDER: Every day the migrant
builders complete 70,000 square metres
of new floor space. One of them is Chen Li
who reckons he has worked on 70 to 80
tower blocks in the last nine years. "The
buildings are getting taller and better," he
says.
THE WINDOW CLEANER: Li Zhiguan
was once a farmer -- now he hangs off the
edge of the huge skyscrapers cleaning
windows. It's dangerous work. He should
have a glorious view of the city - except
the buildings are shrouded in pollution.
THE INDUSTRIALIST: Chongqing is
famous for its motorcycle industry - now
it's expanding into cars. Yin Mingshan is
one of the industrialists who are
transforming China. He opened his first
company in 1992 with nine staff. He now
employs 9,000 workers.

THE PROBLEMS: But as well as air
pollution, there are big problems with
sewage and waste disposal. Cultural
development is falling behind as the forces
of globalisation transform the city.

CURITIBA, BRAZIL: Curitiba is a city in a
developing country, too -- but people
actually like living there. It claims to have
created a better environment and quality
of life than in much of the "first world".
How?
CHINA ON THE RISE: PAUL
PAUL
SOLMAN REPORTS
CARS V PEOPLE: It all started with one
man and a simple idea - prioritising people
over cars. Jaime Lerner became mayor in
the early '70s. Instead of demolishing
buildings to cope with increased traffic, he
paved the street and closed it to traffic,
creating Brazil's first pedestrian mall.
PUBLIC
TRANSPORT:
Lerner
transformed the city's public transport
system with new traffic paths, bus-only
lanes, triple articulated buses to carry
more passengers, and glass tubes to
speed up the boarding process. "We
started with 25,000 passengers a day and
now we are transporting more than 2
million passengers" says Lerner.
PARKS: Another crucial element in the
city's success story is its extensive
network of parks which ring the city.
Previously unusable land has been turned
into parks giving citizens above average
access to green space.
SLUMS: But there is a major problem
confronting all Brazilian cities, including
Curitiba -- the slums. Lerner started a
scheme in which slum-dwellers clean up
the areas where they live and are given
food for the rubbish they collect. The city
also offers residents low interest
mortgages to live in newly built suburbs.

CHINA PROFILE: THE NEW
NEW
CHINA - SHANGHAI,
SHANGHAI
This documentary offers a fresh and
original look at Shangahi, China, a harbor
city that is developing at such a fast and
breathtaking pace it is surpassing its
"rival," Hong Kong. Not dwelling on the
causes of China's economic boom, this
program underscores the transformations,
contrasts and exuberance of Shanghai's
renewed dynamism. Here we get a
glimpse of the new China, as well as a
reflection on the responsibilities of
Western countries. In Shanghai today we
discover the buzzword is "success" success at any cost. We are introduced to
several Shanghai residents, such as
architects, writers and entrepreneurs, plus
a number of ordinary people, and some
"nouveau riche," those who crave luxury.
Shanghai we see represents the
splendors and miseries of global
capitalism, where there is sadly no room
for the well being of a so-called
Western-like middle class; also we learn
how middle classes in Western countries
are experiencing progressive erosion as a
result of China's giant economy, which is
impervious to the fair redistribution of profit.
Finally, we look at the advantages and
drifts of a model of economic growth that is
striving to export all over the world, with
unperturbed optimism,in the name of
"development."

CHINA: FALUN GONG - THE
SPIRITUAL FUGITIVES
The government of China considers
members of the religious sect Falun Gong
as counter-revolutionaries. In fact, only in
Hong Kong can Falun Gong be practiced
openly. The government's message is that
Falun Gong is dangerous, obsessive
devotion, a threat to followers and a threat
to social cohesion. Devotees of the
religion feel the overall propaganda is
based on fabricated evidence. This
program examines the controversy and
reveals that the Spiritual Fugitives are
determined to practice their faith.
Review
"Recommended.
The
technical
aspects of this documentary are
impressive, particularly the treatment
of the Chinese and English languages.
The outstanding clear, bright colors,
and well-edited street and park
scenes, together with close-ups of the
individual Falun Gong followers,
makes for a good presentation in such
a small time frame." -EMR Online

CHOPIN'S AFTERLIFE
By Ophra Yerushalmi
Chopin's Afterlife is a pianist's search for
Frederic Chopin whose music seems to
connect people everywhere. The director,
Ophra Yerushalmi, for whom Chopin has
been a constant source of inspiration, is
joined by musicians and non-musicians,
dancers, poets and visual artists. They are
young and old, masters and students, all
with special affinity to the composer.
Together they investigate different layers
hidden under the seeming simplicity of the
music and its sheer beauty.
Among those participating are composers
Lukas Foss and John Eaton, pianists
Abbey Simon, Arie Vardi and Frederic
Chiu, as well as Jerome Lowenthal and
Pavlina Dokovska of the Julliard and
Mannes schools of music. Also included
are two rare solo dances choreographed
by Jose Limon and Jerome Robbins,
danced by Carla Maxwell and Helgi
Tomasson.
Chopin's Afterlife shows a surprising
variety of ways in which Chopin remains
meaningful in our contemporary world, so
different from Chopin's own. The film is an
attempt to create a bridge between the
"romantic" and the "revolutionary" Chopin
and to challenge viewers to look at Chopin
in new ways.
Reviews
"... wrests Chopin out of myth and
legend, into the fiery intimacy and
truthfulness that a dedicated pianist
can evoke..." - Cynthia Ozick, writer
"opens
up
genuinely
new
perspectives on the genre..." - Volker
Berghahn,
professor,

University
"This engaging and lovingly crafted
film illuminates the profound influence
of this great master, and opens our
eyes to the long shadow he casts on
music past, present and future." Christopher Tellefsen, film editor,

What is the role of data centers in Cisco’s
business? How is Cisco is evolving to a
new concept, the Service Oriented Data
Center? What will be the the benefits
gained from this new data center design?
Cisco spends roughly 25% of its IT budget
on data centers. This means any cost
reductions in the data center infrastructure
or operations can have a significant
financial benefit. Cisco is currently
engaged in a multi-year redesign effort to
create a Service Oriented Data Center.
This redesign consolidates and transforms
the data center infrastructure for improved
user service, better utilization, more
automation and flexibility, and a lower total
cost of ownership.
In this program Sapna Garg, Senior

data center costs? How will storage
networking has evolved at Cisco and how
it will improve in the future?
Data is an important corporate asset, but
storing huge volumes of data can be
inefficient and expensive. Within Cisco IT,
data center costs make up about 50% of
IT costs. And storage costs make up about
50% of data center costs. Over the last
four years storage requirements have
been doubling year over year. Controlling
these storage costs have been critical to
controlling overall IT costs.
In recent years, storage area networks or
SANs have emerged as the foundation for
making stored data more cost effective by
improving overall storage utilization and
manageability and more accessible by
providing a virtual storage pool to support
our internal clients’ needs for application
storage.
Cisco IT has been migrating all of our
direct access storage – that is, storage
drives directly connected to application
servers – to storage area networks, which
are large amounts of storage resources
separate from the application servers but
connected to them across a special
storage network.
In this program Robert Scarbrough, a
Program Manager in Cisco IT, explains the
role of Storage Networking within Cisco

CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.
Author: Andrew McAfee
Illustrates the challenges associated with
centralizing IT decisions at Cisco after a
decade of decentralized planning and
project funding. When Brad Boston
became Cisco's new CIO in 2001, he
found that managers were starting to get
frustrated with the results of their latest IT
initiatives. Boston believed that Cisco
needed to focus on its global infrastructure
before investing in more functional tools
and applications. Under the leadership of
Boston and an executive operating
committee, Cisco selected three major
enterprise projects that required an
unprecedented level of process planning
and cross-functional cooperation, a major
change
from
Cisco's
legacy
of
entrepreneurial drive. As these three
projects started to wind down in 2004,
Boston and the operating committee were
thinking about what types of new projects
the IT organization should support. Raises
issues about change management,
centralized planning, IT prioritization and
resource
allocation,
enterprise
cooperation, and project funding.

CIVIL WAR STORIES
The story of America's deadliest conflict is
told anew in two programs that offer fresh
perspectives. Holidays are hard to
celebrate during a time of war, but
Independence Day 1863 saw the end of
one of the greatest battles of the Civil War,
and soldiers and their families still found
time to mark the Christmas season and
hope that peace would bring them back
together again.
It took the Civil War for Independence Day
to become a federal holiday. Two pivotal
battles that turned the tide of the war in
favor of the Union?Gettysburg and
Vicksburg?had similar outcomes on the
same day: July 4, 1863. This program
explores both battles, with emphasis on
Gettysburg.
In
particular,
the
commemorative painting known as the
Gettysburg Cyclorama becomes the focal
point of history, art, and remembrance.
Many Americans take for granted that
Christmas is a federal holiday, but how did
this religious event become a national one?
The answer takes us back to the time of
the Civil War. In fact, the modern-day
notion of Christmas has its roots in a time
when America was at war with itself.

Marie Matiko, Simon Callow, Austin
Pendleton, Jennifer Tilly, Eric Roberts,
Keith Diamond, Nora Dunn, Carol Kane,
John Glover
DIRECTOR(S): David Beaird
Patrick Warburton (TV's Less Than
Perfect and Seinfeld) is Max Bright, a male
chauvinist who's tired of relationships with
strong-willed, independent women. Max's
solution: shell out big bucks for an Asian
mail order bride who will do what she's told,
only speak when spoken to and never say
"no." But what Max gets is an unexpected
lesson in life in this moving film about the
search for meaning and the power of love.
Also starring Academy Award nominee
Jennifer Tilly, Simon Callow, Eric Roberts
and Carol Kane, The Civilization of
Maxwell Bright will challenge your
perceptions and lift your spirits.

hilarious, gut-punching black comedy
and winds up as a highly spiritual,
oddly touching weepie." - SAN

FUTURE
OF ARTS
ARTS EDUCATION IN
AMERICA (EDUCATOR'S
EDITION)
From the executive producers of Super
Size Me and Director Sara Sackner, this
program examines the deplorable atrophy
of arts education in America’s classrooms
by contrasting the crisis with the story of
one very dedicated, inspiring high school
drama teacher: Jay W. Jensen, who over a
50-year career touched the lives of many
with the transformational power of the arts.
Renowned pupils - actor Andy Garcia, film
director Brett Ratner, songwriter Desmond
Child, and sportscaster Roy Firestone, to
name only four - speak out alongside Alfie
Kohn, author of The Schools Our Children
Deserve; Dana Gioia, chairman of the
National Endowment for the Arts; Robert
Lynch, president and CEO of Americans
for the Arts; Richard Deasy, director of the
Arts Education Partnership; educators,
administrators,
and
school
board
members; and students. A lucid argument
for the vital importance of arts education in
the American public school system.

The tropics are the region of rainforests

tropical rainforests are very warm and

supporting many species of plants and
small animals. In a savannah, there is also
little variation of seasons. But the dryness
of the environment means fewer trees and
more grass, so savannahs are home to
herds of large animals. The search for
food and water in a savannah requires
cleverness and good legs, so both
humans and animals here are migratory.

COACHING BALL
DISRUPTIONS FOR
WINNING FOOTBALL
With DeWayne Walker
Ball disruptions are a defensive tactic to
adversely affect the normal flow of an
offense by applying direct pressure to the
football on every play. Past coaching
experiences with the likes of Pete Carroll
and Bill Belichick has given Coach Walker
a wealth of knowledge on this tactic. Ball
awareness is the most important element
of this concept and is defined as a player
trained to locate the ball handler and the
position of the football at all times. In
teaching disruptions, five areas take on
great importance: The altered pass, batted
balls, forced fumble, pass break up and
the interception. Using an overhead,
Walker details the teaching methods of all
five areas. Then, by using game footage,
he shows the technique and strategy used
to gain possession of the ball. By
implementing a practice production point
system, coaches are able to measure the
amount of disruptions made by the
defense in detailed fashion The value of
disrupting the ball can be seen in national
statistics; consider: of the top 25 teams
based on turnover ratio in 2006, 21 of
those teams were bowl eligible!

Coach Wainwright begins with his
coaching philosophy - touching on a wide
range of subjects that include dealing with
outside pressures and unreal expectations,
being firm and standing up for what you
believe, communication and dealing with
parents. Following his talk on philosophy,
Wainwright goes to the floor to
demonstrate some of his favorite drills.
The Movement drill is an excellent
combination drill that creates difficult
situations for the four defenders. Another
drill, the 2-on-1 Disadvantage Drill, puts
the single defender in a tough spot.
Wainwright teaches defenders to make
plays with your inside hand. There is a
trapping element to the drill that help
trapping teams get better. The 2-on-2 Full
Court Drill combines trapping, ball
handling and communication. The 2-on-2
and 3-on-3 Restriction Drill is a half court
drill that develops good draw and kick
skills on penetration. Additional drills
include the 1-minute stop and 90 second

viable option if you lack big bodies on the
defensive line. It also allows you flexibility
to use many different kinds of rushes to
confuse the opposing quarterback, and, it
makes it easier to cover multiple offensive
formations with adjustments in the
secondary. Coach James emphasizes
aggressiveness at all positions, discussing
the physical and mental characteristics
that each player needs to execute his
respective role in the 3-4. He also covers
the defensive alignments and blitz gaps
that he uses with his team. James uses
diagrams to reveal a dozen defensive play
calls and shares game footage to show
the plays in action.

COACHING INSIDE AND
OUTSIDE ZONE SCHEMES
With Chris Strausser
There are similar aspects of teaching
Boise State's inside and outside zone as
presented by Coach Strausser in this
excellent lecture-style presentation. Both
have combination blocks but the aiming
points are different. The aiming points are
wider and the reads are specific for backs,
yet the players up front focus on zone
concepts, which make up 75% of the
running game. Fundamentally they deal
with the same block, though the inside
zone deals with drive blocking and vertical
movement while the outside scheme
teaches base reach. Zone philosophy is
directed by downhill, physical play and
double teams. Game footage helps
illustrate and reinforce all of the concepts
and schemes discussed.

SUCCESS
With Dave Huxtable
Coaches that make the effort to improve
their coaching ability can make a

ingredients of great football teams, and
believes that 90% of football is played with
the heart and the mind and ultimately
determines success on the field. Huxtable

teams. Those keys include trust, which
must exist between the player and
coaches at all time; concentration and
discipline in the film room; and conducting
meaningful meetings and practices each
day. Teaching players an eagerness to
work is difficult but in time will prove
worthy for the coaching staff. Five
common errors for football coaches are

COACHING YOUTH
LACROSSE: COACHING
BOYS LACROSSE - U11
SKILLS & DRILLS
With Gary Gait
Lacrosse legend Gary Gait calls on his
vast experience to provide you expert
coaching instruction for Boys U11 lacrosse.
Coach Gait is a big believer in line drills
because players are on the move while
executing these drills. He teaches his
players to to keep the stick up and provide
a target while catching on the run. Another
basic skill is ground balls. A low, athletic
stance is needed while players scoop up
the ball on the run. Dodging is a skill
taught by Gait, and is executed as a fake
defense after passing. Other offensive
concepts presented are popping the
receiving, give and go and setting a pick.
Competitive drills include ground ball drills,
ground ball passes, dodging with
defenders and live one-on-one. On the
defensive side, Gait covers the proper
stance, changing direction with use of a
drop step and narrowing the channel,
which is a defensive tactic to shrink the
offensive player's channel to the net. This
is a complete set of teaching points and
drills for coaching lacrosse with boys
under 11!

fundamentals and foundations for girls
lacrosse players, beginning with basic
stick skills. Gait demonstrates the proper
technique for cradling the stick, catching

scoop it off the ground. Shuttle drills add
movement to skills. He includes single
player and partner drills. His shuttle drills

With Gary Gait
Coach Gait show coaches and their young
players how to take the next step in
becoming a successful lacrosse player. He
picks up where Coaching Girls Lacrosse Basic Skills & Drills left off, exploring the
next level of skills coaches can teach their
players. Effective passing starts with stick
protection, which involves positioning
yourself between the stick and the
defender. Cradle the ball to protect it
whether preparing to pass or shoot.
Passing skills include throwing across the
body, away from the body and straight
toward your target. Side-arm technique is
also covered. Once passing to different
directions is mastered, players can move
on to faking one direction and passing
another. Practice passing at a greater
distance to add power and speed to your
skills. Once players have learned how to
control the stick with two hands, they can
start to develop the ability to use just one
hand. Finally, the players can use their
newly developed skills against a defender
in live situations. Gait also shows trick
passes, catches and shots that can be
used to throw off defenders. He finishes by
showing how to incorporate advanced
dodging skills in your game.

COACH'S GUIDE TO
HITTING DRILLS, THE
With Brian Cleary
The role of drills in hitting is to address the
hitter building his swing as well as the
player maintaining his swing. Coach
Cleary's goal when practicing hitting is not
to hit the ball hard, but practice a swing
that will translate to success in a game.
Drills provide help in two areas; correcting
faulty swings and building and maintaining
good swings. Before drill work, Cleary
breaks down the batter's set up. He uses a
tool called the 'magic wand' that helps him
isolate parts of the hitter's body to make
corrections. Other tools used during drill
work include the stride box, the tire, tees
and soft toss. The goal for hitters is to be
sound mechanically so their only job is to
attack the pitch and the pitcher!

COCALERO
Director: Alejandro Landes
Recently, the U.S. has directed its war on
drugs against Bolivian coca-growing
regions, and the Bolivian government has
attempted to eradicate coca crops,
devastating the livelihood of Indigenous
people who cultivate it. In response, the
farmers formed a powerful union. Their
leader is the Aymara Indian Evo Morales,
and
in
2005
this
unwavering,
unpretentious socialist made an historic
bid for the presidency.
A lively story about geopolitics, people's
movements, Indigenous culture, and one
man's impressive determination, Cocalero
closely follows Evo's campaign, getting up
close and personal with the candidate and
the union organization backing him, while
presenting critical views of both. What
makes Evo so fascinating is how unlikely a
candidate he is. A relaxed 40-something
bachelor who sports blue jeans and
sneakers and lives in a one-room house,
he drinks beer with his cronies and goes
swimming in his underwear. Yet he moves
effortlessly from formal fund-raising dinner
to mass rally, charismatically proposing
the
redistribution
of
wealth,
renationalization of industries, and
legalization of coca products.
Not surprisingly, Evo's populist platform
elicits strong responses. After he
addresses Venezuela's Hugo Chavez as
"Commandante," Bolivian TV questions
whether Evo is on Chavez's payroll, and
his presence at an airport elicits racist
epithets. But Evo, defender of Bolivia's
first people, wins by an unprecedented
majority. Cocalero offers fresh insight into
big political changes afoot in Latin
America.— Caroline Libresco

Morales's successful 2005 run for the
Bolivian presidency is both refreshing
and just plain fun." - Village Voice
COCALERO
Directed by Alejandro Landes
In 2006, Evo Morales, an Aymara Indian,
became the first indigenous president of
Bolivia – winning the election with the
largest majority in the country’s history.
Cocalero is a captivating portrait of this
controversial figure and his astonishing
rise to power.
In recent years, the U.S. government,
working with Bolivian authorities, has
attempted to stem the flow of cocaine from
Bolivia by eradicating the country’s coca
crop – essentially directing its devastating
war on drugs against the country’s
indigenous farmers. To protect their
livelihood, the farmers formed a union and
elected as their leader, an unknown,
unwavering, and unpretentious socialist
named Evo Morales.
A story of geopolitics, people’s movements,
Indigenous culture, and one man’s
impressive
determination,
Cocalero
chronicles Morales’ historic presidential
campaign, getting up close and personal
with the candidate and the union
organization backing him. As the film
shows, what makes
Morales
so
fascinating is how unlikely a candidate he
is. A relaxed 40-something bachelor who
wears blue jeans and sneakers, lives in a
one-room house, drinks beer with his
friends, and goes swimming in his
underwear. Yet he is able to move
effortlessly from the coca plantations of his
youth to formal fundraising dinners to
mass rallies, all the while charismatically
proposing the redistribution of wealth,
renationalization of industries, and the
legalization of coca products.
Not surprisingly, Morales’ populist platform
elicits strong responses. After he
addresses Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez as
“commandante,” Bolivian TV questions
whether he is on Chavez’s payroll. In the
cities, far from his core constituency, he
must weather racial insults and epithets.
But on January 22, 2006, to the surprise of
many, Morales was sworn in as Bolivia’s
80th President, the first indigenous head
of state since the Spanish Conquest over
500 years ago – and only the third
indigenous leader in Latin American
history.
Reviews
“An outstanding selection of the 2007
Human Rights Watch Film Festival,
Alejandro Landes’s Cocalero follows
the rise of President Evo Morales of
Bolivia, a grass-roots politician
backed by impoverished coca farmers
threatened by the American war on
drugs.” – Stephen Holden, The New
York Times
“A
luminous
portrait...
An
impressionistic documentary melding
the everyday moments of human
interaction that build to mass
movement formation and social
change.” – Prarie Miller, WBAI
"In
the
midst
of
this
consultant-polished election season,
Alejandro Landes's inside look at Evo
“In the vivid and fluently shot

Brazilian-born
documentarian Alejandro Landes and
Venezuelan-Spanish
cameraman
Jorge Manrique Behrens tag along as
the dynamic yet accessible populist
wages his 2006 electoral campaign
from the storm-clouded mountains of
Cochabamba to the steamy forests of
El Chapare…. Top quality visuals
convey Morales’ supporters' energy
and the movement’s optimism, right
up to a crossroads moment as Evo
locks arms with Fidel and an
especially
exuberant
Hugo
Chavez.” – Slant Magazine

COLA CONQUEST, THE: I COCACOCA-COLA: A CLASSIC
MARKETING STORY
Coca-Cola began life more than a century
ago as a "brain tonic" aimed at
businessmen. Now it's the most
recognised brand name on earth. How did
this happen? With examples of classic
adverts, on both print and film, this
award-winning US film explores the
marketing techniques which lie behind
Coke's historic success.
HISTORY: The Coca-Cola story begins in
the deep south of America at the end of
the nineteenth century. Coke is invented
as an exotic cure-all by a man trying to
kick his addiction to morphine.
THE BIRTH OF MODERN ADVERTISING:
But the secret of the new drink's success
lie in its marketing. Revolutionary mass
advertising techniques are used to sell it
as a refreshing drink for everyone.
IMAGES OF WOMEN: Images of Coke
appear everywhere. Coca-Cola spends an
unheard of 20% of its revenue on
advertising. Women become vital to Coke
both in its advertising and as a market. A
bottle with a distinctive design becomes a
vital asset in its marketing effort.
SANTA CLAUS: Coke resists accusations
that it's taregeting kids, but cleverly uses
young people in its adverts.
The image of the Santa Claus of today
owes much to early Coke advertising.
BATTLE OF THE BRANDS: Integral to the
Coke story is its long-running battle with
Pepsi. A wealth of marketing and
advertising imagination is employed on
both sides. Coke is the "real thing", but
A NEW RELIGION: Market researchers
examine the responses of people to Pepsi
and Coke, trying to work out why we
choose one over the other -- even though
there's almost no difference in the taste.
And what about their social impact? Is
Coke part of a new, fantasy-driven,
consumerist religion in which what we buy
defines who we are?
MORE THAN WORDS: In the twenty-first
century Coke faces new challenges - to
produce healthier, less fattening products
and become more environmentally friendly.
The company claims to have made big
efforts to clean up its act - but is this more
than fine words and PR?

COLA CONQUEST, THE: II HOW COCACOCA-COLA TOOK
OVER THE WORLD
This award-winning film tells the story of
how Coca-Cola became the world's most
famous multinational company and follows
its quest to be the globe's number one
beverage.
HISTORY: After the First World War Coke
and Pepsi are both in commercial trouble,
hit by the high price of sugar. But Coke's
new boss Robert Woodruff sets the
company up for radical growth.
COKE AT WAR: In the Second World War
Woodruff promises that every US soldier
will get a bottle of Coke for five cents.
Bottling plants are shifted overseas. Coke
employees become part of the US military
effort. Coca-Cola becomes a worldwide
symbol of the American way of life.
CIVIL RIGHTS: In the 1960s, Coke is
boycotted by Martin Luther King and the
US civil rights movement for racist policies.
Coke has no black board members or
black salespeople - and finds it has to
change its ways.
COKE'S GLOBAL QUEST: In the 1980s
Coca-Cola is top of the world's soft drinks.
But now it sets out to go further - to
become the number one drink on earth.
MEXICO: In Mexico, unlike China or
France, Coke meets with little resistance.
In some towns, Coke and Pepsi even
become incorporated into local religious
rituals as a kind of holy water.
GUATEMALA: Coke directs an empire of
independent bottlers across the world.
Coke claims not to interfere with local
politics - but in Guatemala the activities of
one of its bottlers cause a scandal when
employees trying to start a union are
murdered. Outrages in other countries -most notoriously Colombia -- also blacken
the company's name.
THE BATTLE GOES ON: Coke's quest for
world domination goes on. Coke's priority
is the emerging markets - countries like
China and India. But critics claim the costs
to local people are too high and press for
government action to curb the company's
power.

PARENTING VOLUME 3:
PREVENTING
PREVENTING PROBLEM
BEHAVIOR
As parents, you want your children to
behave well at home, in school, or
wherever they are, whether you are with
them or not. But sometimes kids have no
idea how to handle new situations such as
introducing themselves to new classmates.
Or, they may repeatedly struggle with
familiar, but problem situations for them
such as whining when asked to do a chore
or refusing to share a toy when playing
with others. Many problem behaviors can
be prevented or reduced if you teach your
children the behaviors you want them to
use instead.
On this DVD, you'll see the Common
Sense Parenting technique of Preventive
Teaching, showing children what they
need to do and say in a future situation
and practicing it in advance. Often, what
you need to teach a child is an appropriate
social skill – how to follow instructions,
how to accept "no" for an answer, how to
share – to replace the problem behavior.
The key to preventing problems is
teaching before a potential problem
situation occurs, when both you and your
child are calm. Preparing children by
helping them learn social and life skills not
only helps prevent disruptive behavior but
can also save them from experiencing
awkward,
embarrassing,
or
even
dangerous situations.

PARENTING VOLUME 4:
CORRECTING
MISBEHAVIOR
When your children misbehave, do you
find yourself yelling, issuing threats and
warnings, or even giving up and walking
away if the negative behavior continues?
This DVD can show you how to stop
misbehavior and turn the problem situation
into an opportunity to teach your child a
better way to behave. The Common
Sense Parenting technique of Corrective
Teaching stops negative behavior, delivers
a consequence, and teaches children a
positive, alternative behavior.
First, you will learn how using both positive
and negative consequences can help you
change children's behavior. Praise,
attention, rewards, and privileges are
positive consequences that you can use to
encourage your child to repeat good
behavior. Negative consequences like
removing a privilege or giving a chore can
discourage a child from repeating bad
behavior. Then this DVD shows you the
steps to not only getting children to stop
misbehaving but to teaching them how to
replace the negative behavior with a
positive one.

photographing migrant labor camps in a
series that became the basis for The
Grapes of Wrath. He circled the globe in
World War II with Edward Steichen's Navy
photography unit. He spent the postwar
decade documenting the changing way of
life in Japan and Asia, covering Emperor
Hirohito, General MacArthur, Chiang
Kai-Shek, Prince Sihanouk, and the wars
in Korea. China, and Vietnam. His
photographs countered the numerous
stereotypes of Asian culture perpetrated at
the time.
Bristol's photographs were lost for forty
years after he destroyed every print he
could find in a terrible act of
self-recrimination when his wife committed
suicide in 1955. Incredibly, three
footlockers containing over 3,000 of his
negatives were discovered in 1995. Rock
superstar Graham Nash, a photographer
and collector himself, initiated the
restoration of Bristol's life's work. At an
advanced age, Bristol was recognized as
one of the most important photographers
of the 20th century, with work in major
museums throughout North America.

COMPETITIVE GAMES &
DRILLS FOR TRANSITION
TRANSITION
BASKETBALL
With Bruce Weber
Coach Weber begins by differentiating
between a "run and gun" and "run and
score" mentality. He sees the offensive
transition game as a way to ease the
pressure off your half court offense to
manufacture points. Weber starts with
basic one-on-one drills and then builds
into more game-like situation. He places
an emphasis on defensive transition early
in the season because other team's
offenses are not fully developed. When
teaching the fast break, there are four
main focus areas: warm-up, primary drills,
early offense and competitive play.
Without a numbers advantage, he teaches
the "transition motion" game, which flows
right into half court offense. Drills include
three-man fast break, 5-0 conditioning,
speed lay-ups, three-man weave, 3-on-3
transition defense drill and 3-on-3 box out
and transition. The 20-point game is
Weber's favorite competitive drill. This is a
full court 3-on-3 drill that also serves as a
great conditioner.

COMPETITIVE PRACTICE
DRILLS
With Tom Crean
Coach Crean opens up one of his
practices and shares drills that are vital to
the development of the Marquette
program on both ends of the floor.
Opening with a series of set plays that are
run 5-on-0, Crean shows some potent
scoring opportunities. Each play includes
multiple scoring options that can be run by
any offense. Spending practice time on out
of bounds plays pay off at game time.
Crean shows four plays and offers six
different wrinkles to score quick baskets.
Drills for building the press offense begin
with a full court 2-0 drill. The drill
progression includes 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0. Ball
handling, passing, decision and game like
shots are part of each segment. The close
out drill is an intense drill that involves four
players who must react quickly to their
man and push the ball handler higher.
Another game like drill is the drive and kick
and baseline drive where players work on
shooting and passing. In addition, Crean
provides a few competitive shooting drills.
Putting the pieces together in a brief
scrimmage setting gives Coach Crean's
team a chance to execute many skills from
the breakdown drills.

COMPLETE GUIDE TO
MANMAN-TOTO-MAN DEFENSE,
THE
With Kevin O'Neill
Coach O'Neill's three cornerstones of
man-to-man defense are; no easy baskets,
no open threes and contested twos.
O'Neill is a "run back" guy in terms of
defensive transition, meaning three
players sprint back on defense as soon as
the shot is taken. Half court defense starts
by forcing the ball to a side. At this point
there is a strong side and a weak side.
Weak side players are positioned in the
middle of the floor for help. O'Neill
believes that a team's defensive
effectiveness is measured by their ability
to scramble and pick up. To illustrate this,
the 5-on-4 drill puts pressure on the
defense by being at a one man
disadvantage. This drill is done in the half
court and full court, including the switch
and change call. The 5-on-5 full court
forces both teams to defend the basket
and not give up easy shots. O'Neill
teaches the keys to half court man-to-man
defense, focusing on stance and trapping.
Pick and roll defense includes the blitz, a
hard double team on the ball handing
guard. An important point is to give the
offense just one way to go, especially on
the ball screens. Show-High-Low is a
technique for defending the on ball screen
on top of the floor.

With Larry Shyatt
A major focus on the practice floor at the
University of Florida is competitive "peer
pressure" drills. Starting with an
aggressive stretch, players prepare to give
an all out effort on the floor. The Gators
have found that using "peer pressure" as a
tool can be very effective. 'Loud and
proud' communication is mandatory for
every player in every drill, practice and
game. The first full court drill is the lay-up
drill with a goal of 13 made lay-ups. Full
court passing drills create good habits,
communication and passing skills. Other
passing drills include three-man full court
passing and three-man weave. Team ball
handling is accomplished by the dribble
series. This series includes the speed
drills and ability to maneuver around
cones on the floor. The 44-and-1 lay-up
drill pushes players to make 44 lay-ups in
one minute. Coach Shyatt shares six
perimeter-shooting drills, and concludes
with an intense defensive shell drill that
incorporates positioning with the rope
technique.

players' feet, toes, knees, shoulders and
hips all square to the ball, not to the target
area. Moving players use two shuffle steps
to get into position for the ball. Hand
positioning is key and Shymansky prefers
the overlapping technique, or fist
technique, for non-linear passing. Thumbs
are pushed down to the floor as elbows
are extended out. The contact point is in
the forearm area with the left hand over
right. Contact should happen at the knee
level and important to non-linear passing.
The next key in successful platform
passing is the shift. The focus is on
creating power by shifting the body, not by
swinging the arms. Holding your angle
when hitting the ball gives feedback after

the ball is hit. The exaggerated hold move
is known as a take away and it the last
major point Shymansky covers. Several
key troubleshooting issues are described
and demonstrated. Drop step passing,
hands passing, and send/receive tactics

COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE
THE
TRIPLE SCREEN OFFENSE,
OFFENSE,
THE
With Dave Odom
Coach Odom's triple screen offense is a
spontaneous, full- and half-court offense.
With a limited shot clock, this system
attacks the defense and allows your team
more time to score. It can be run out of
any set and combines the fast break and
half court offense into one concept. The
triple screen offense relies on the
screen-the-screener
concept.
After
demonstrating the offense 5-on-0, Odom
introduces a three-man "Quick Shooting"
drill. The moves in this drill are the same
moves that are present at game time. After
showing the end of the flow, Odom backs
up to the beginning of the break. He
discusses the specific roles of all five
players on the initial fast break, including a
post trailer. Live 5-on-5 play is used to
demonstrate the offense, which allows
Odom to stop and teach parts of the
offense. In teaching players on the floor,
multiple options from this offensive set are
shown, adding to its versatility and
effectiveness. This all-in-one offense is
quick and easy to run and creates good
shots from many spots on the floor!

CONNECTIONS 1
Three innovative programs help middle
schoolers handle situations that provoke
anger in themselves and others, deal with
decisions that test their character, and
learn what to do about harassment and
bullying.
Each
program’s
short,
open-ended scenarios are followed by
in-depth questions that ask students how
they would deal with the relevant situation.
Series includes three student programs
(Doing the Right Thing: Building Character,
Don’t Stand For It: Bullying, and Get a
Handle on It: Anger).
This ten volume series was made in 1978
by turning science into a detective story,
James Burke creates a series that will
fascinate students and adults alike. This
interdisciplinary approach has never
before been applied to history or science
and it succeeds tremendously. The scope
of the series covers 19 countries and 150
locations, requiring over 14 months of

CONFLICT: THE TOP TEN
TEN
STARTERS AND STOPPERS
STOPPERS
Connections DVD No. 1
Running Time: 100 Minutes
This fast paced, catchy program shows
students the most common behaviors that
start conflicts — such as blaming,
accusing, name calling, interrupting — and
then demonstrates how to stop those
resulting confl icts before they escalate
into major confrontations.
Volume 1:The Trigger Effect
Both the beginning and the end of the
story are here. The end is our present
dependence on complex technological
networks illustrated by the NYC power
blackouts. Life came almost to a standstill:
support systems taken for granted failed.
How did we become so helpless?
Technology originated with the plow and
agriculture. Each invention demands its
own follow-up: once started, it is hard to
stop. This segment ends in Kuwait, where
society has leapt from ancient Egypt to the
technology of today in 30 years.
As they count down from ten to one,
viewers learn from situations all
elementary school kids will easily
recognize. The vignettes illustrate the top
confl ict starters and stoppers, including
the #1 way to avoid a conflict: if you're
wrong — apologize and say you're sorry.

As the Sherlock Holmes of science, Burke
tracks through 12,000 years of history for
the clues that lead us to eight great life
changing inventions-the atom bomb,
telecommunications, the computer, the
production line, jet aircraft, plastics,
rocketry and television. Burke postulates
that such changes occur in response to
factors he calls "triggers," some of them
seemingly unrelated. These have their
own triggering effects, causing change in
totally unrelated fields as well. And so the
connections begin…

Volume 2: Death in the Morning
How did a test of gold’s purity revolutionize
the world 2500 years ago and lead to the
atomic bomb? Standardizing precious
metal in coins stimulated trade from
Greece to Persia, causing the construction
of a huge commercial center and library at
Alexandria. This wealth of nautical
knowledge aided navigators 14 centuries
later. Mariners discovered that the
compass’s magnetized needle did not
point directly north. Investigations into the
nature of magnetism led to the discovery
of electricity, radar and to the atomic
bomb.
Connections DVD No. 2
Running Time: 100 Minutes
Volume 3:Distant Voices
Telecommunications exist because the
Normans wore stirrups at the Battle of
Hastings- a simple advance that caused a
revolution in the increasingly expensive
science of warfare. Europe turned its
attention to making money to wage wars.
As mine shafts were dug deeper, they
became flooded, stimulating scientists like
Galileo to investigate vacuums, air
pressure and other natural laws to mine
deeper silver. This led to the discovery of
electricity and magnetism’s relationship
and to the development of radio, and deep
space telecommunications that may
enable contact with galactic civilizations.

Volume 4: Faith in Numbers
Each development in the organization of
systems (political, economic, mechanical,
electronic)influences the next, by logic, by
genius, by chance, or by utterly
unforeseen events. The transition from the
Middle ages to the Renaissance was
influenced by the rise of commercialism, a
sudden change in climate, famine and the
Black Death, which set the stage for the
invention of the printing press.
Connections DVD No. 3
Running Time: 100 Minutes
Volume 5:The Wheel of Fortune
The power to see into the future with
computers
originally
rested
with
priest-astronomers who knew the proper
times to plant and harvest. The
constellations influenced life spectacularly,
particularly when the ailing Caliph of
Baghad was cured by an astrologer using
Greek lore. His ancient medical secrets
were translated and spread throughout
Europe, ushering in an era of scientific
inquiry. The need for more precise
measuring devices in navigation gave rise
to the pendulum clock, the telescope,
forged steel and interchangeable machine
parts-the basis of modern industrial
system.
Volume 6:Thunder in the Skies
A dramatically colder climate gripped
Europe during the 13th century profoundly
affecting the course of history for the next
seven centuries. The changes in energy
usage transformed architecture and forced
the creation of new power sources. The
coming of the Industrial Revolution,
spurred on by advances in the steam
engine, scarred England indelibly: but a
moment in history later, gasoline-powered
engines opened the way to the heavens.
Connections DVD No. 4
Volume 7:The Long Chain
Often, materials discovered by accident
alter the course of the world. In the 1600s
Dutch commercial freighters controlled
Atlantic trade routes. Competing British
lines induced America to produce pitch to
protect hulls of their royal vessels. This
arrangement lasted until 1776, after which
a Scottish inventor tried to produce pitch
from coal tar. By the time he succeeded
the navy was using copper instead.
Subsequent experiments with coal tar
yielded gaslight lamps, waterproofed
garments, a brilliant mauve dye that
established the German chemical industry
and nylon, the first of the miracle plastics.
Volume 8:Eat, Drink and Be Merry
When Napoleon marched huge forces
across Europe, he needed an efficient way
to store provisions. A Frenchman
preserved sterilized food in empty
champagne bottles, an idea modified by
the British, who tried tin cans. Still, canned
foods sometimes spoiled, which led to
experiments with refrigeration. Later, it
was discovered that gases may be stored
at very low temperatures in a thermos
flask, a device handy for picnics, for polar
explorers and for, storing large quantities
of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. When lit by
a spark these gases can send rockets into
space.
Connections DVD No. 5
Running Time: 100 Minutes
Volume 9:Countdown
What happens when you combine a
carbon arc light, a billiard ball coating, a
spoked wheel and consecutive images?
Motion pictures! Complex and sometimes
incredible events led to Thomas Edison’s
remarkable invention; the beginnings of
limelight on a Irish mountain; George
Eastman’s production of celluloid from the
slightly explosive gun cotton; the “magic
lantern” of an Austrian ballistics teacher.
Then Eadweard Muybridge settled a bet in
1872 by photographs; does a horse raise
all four feet when galloping? (Yes.) Today
moving pictures, together with television,
are enormously powerful mass media.
Have we become trapped by our own
technology?
Volume 10:Yesterday, Tomorrow and You
“Why did we do it this way?” Essential
moments from the previous programs are
reviewed to illustrate the common factors
that make for change. Will they go on
operating to affect our futures? And if so,
can we recognize them? The second half
looks at the extent to which we have
become
increasingly
incapable
of
understanding how change occurs in our
complex world and at why we are in such
a predicament. Finally, there is a look
ahead to the need for radical change in
the availability and use of information in
the future, if we are to remain in control of
our destinies.

With virtually no government or public

marketing industry has been able to use
the latest advances in psychology,

transform American children into one of
the most powerful and profitable consumer
demographics in the world. American kids

appeals
designed to sell everything from
Hollywood merchandise and junk foods to

CONTINUITY INSIDE GAME
GAME
With Mike Rudd
"Getting good looks from several spots" is
the focus of this DVD on the inside game
with Coach Mike Rudd, who believes that
"winning starts inside and moves outside."
Rudd demonstrates the inside game that
has helped his team reach the last three
Maryland State Championships. This
offense starts in a 2-1-2 set with a post in
the high post area. First option is the
scissors cut off the high post. The high
post cuts to the ball side elbow in option
two. Option three is ball reversal through
the post. Next, a back screen cut off a
double screen releases the cutter for a lay
up. An elbow flash is the next option in the
middle of the floor for one-on-one
opportunities. Ball reversal will create
more scoring options and the offense
starts over. The iso feature adds another
scoring option to the inside game. Against
pressure, the circle entry will allow the
offense to begin normally. Rudd teaches
as he takes players through this offense,
stopping them to make adjustments.
Benefits of this offense are getting the ball
inside and running clock late in the game
to preserve a lead.

Review
“Since the beginning, humans have
looked to the skies in fascination.
Offering a solid introductory overview,
Core Astronomy (which includes
optional Spanish subtitles) chronicles
the history of astronomy, beginning
with Ptolemy’s earth-centered vision
of the universe and closing with the
2004 discovery of organic matter
outside our solar system. As the story
of astronomy unfolds, viewers are
introduced to key figures in the field
and their major theories and concepts,
such as Galileo’s defense of a
heliocentric solar system, Newton’s
three laws of motion, and Einstein’s
theories of special and general
relativity. Articulate, easy to follow
narration—illustrating
potentially
difficult concepts with real life
examples-is combined with skillfully
edited visuals, which include historical
drawings, photographs, computer
images,
and
film
footage.
Downloadable materials—including
an instructor’s guide, timeline, images,
and a quiz—are also available…

one of the most recent. Beginning 2500
years ago in ancient Greece with the
founding of Botany and Zoology, in the
20th and 21st centuries, it has grown to
include
Environmental
Sciences,
Microbiology and Genetics, key disciplines
to understanding our modern world. Core
Biology is an innovative, conceptual

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
SCIENCE
The wonders of ecology and ecosystems
revealed.
A seminal moment in mankind's history
occurred when in 1949 Aldo Leopold
announced the concept of a land ethic:
"We are all part of the greater
interconnected whole of plants animals
and microorganisms." Out of this
pronouncement was born the new science
of environmental studies. Since then,
great strides have been made in
understanding the web of life, and our
dependence on the health of the
environment we live in. Core Biology:
Environmental Sciences is the story of the
creation of this new biological discipline,
which includes the study of ecosystems
and the blossoming of the environmental

1945 to Present - Catalysts and New
Chemicals - In order to create the modern
world of chemistry we all rely on today,
chemists had to overcome the slowness of
nature's
chemical
reactions
and
interactions. This was accomplished
through the discovery of catalysts and
biocatalysts, called enzymes. The result
was the creation of over a million new
chemicals a year in the 21st century.

CORE CHEMISTRY
Future problems of energy, food,
medicines and materials are the
problems of chemistry.
No science is more at the core of every
technology that supports the seven billion
people living on the planet today than
chemistry. Chemistry is at the base of the
foods, medicines, fuels and materials that
are the hallmarks of modern life. Core
Chemistry presents how each branch of
chemistry - physical chemistry, organic
chemistry and biochemistry - evolved from
a clear understanding of the principles and
laws of chemical interactions.
Chapters:
2 Million B.C. to 1661 - Ancient Chemistry
- Chemistry is both science and art. The
art began with the first humans and the
discovery of fire. It proceeded through
metallurgy. Though discovered probably
through accident, the discovery of bronze,
iron, glass and gunpowder transformed all
civilizations they touched. But before
civilizations could progress any further
toward modern societies they had to
understand the atomic nature of matter.
This started with Robert Boyle and his
denunciation of the medieval alchemist.
1800 - Electrolysis Reveals Water is not
Elemental- Since the Greeks, alchemists
had held that matter was made up of four
elements - fire, earth, air and water. But a
series of brilliant experiments at the end of
the 18th century showed that none of
these were elemental. Of particular
interest was the separation of water into
hydrogen and oxygen gases.
1808 - Atomic Theory of Matter is
Announced
The
conceptual
breakthrough that chemists were looking
for was provided by John Dalton when he
proposed that matter was made up of tiny
elements that he called atoms.
1828 - Organic Chemistry - When it was
demonstrated that a special life force,
known as 'the vital life force,' was not part
of organic material, it opened the door for
a whole new branch of chemistry - organic
chemistry. This chapter defines organic
chemistry and shows how the discovery of
polymers, which led to the world of plastics,
and bioengineering.
1869 - The First Periodic Table - The
greatest discovery in all of chemistry was
Mendeleev's period table of the elements.
This chapter shows in clear detail how the
over 100 elements are arranged into
predictable groups which for the basis of
all chemical interactions.

CORE GEOLOGY
Not since the discovery of gold in 1848
has the understanding of the world's
geology been more important to the
welfare of the nation.
Throughout history the rise and fall of
civilizations has been propelled by the
abundance and scarcity of valued
resources. At no time has this been truer
than in the 21st century. Whether it is the
search for oil or silicon to make microchips
or uranium to run power plants, the search
is directed by geologists. In Core Geology,
the building blocks of this most
contemporary science are laid out in a
logical order, including the meaning of the
fossil record.
Chapters:
1669 - The Geological Laws - With brilliant
reasoning, 17th century Danish naturalist
Nicolas Steno deduced the three
fundamental laws of geology that would
become the basis for this science to the
present day.
1812 - Properties of Minerals - The
identifying properties of minerals are laid
out including Mohs hardness scale.
1830 - Geology Occurs by Natural
Processes - By the middle of the 19th
century, it was understood geologists that
forces that shaped the earth are the same
ones occurring today.
1972 - Ancient Life and the Fossil Record How fossils are formed, their age and how
the fossil record sheds light on evolution is

life sustaining Bio/Geo/Chemical cycles in
its lower reaches. The program also
shows how these atmospheric elements
are being impacted by the unprecedented
burning of fossil fuels.
Chapters:
Atmospheres in the Solar System There are a variety of atmospheres
on the planets in our solar system but
only one that is conducive to life
Composition of Earth's Atmosphere Earth's atmosphere is made up of
78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, a small
amount of argon and greenhouse
gases
Structure of the Earth's Atmosphere The structure of the Earth's
atmosphere is divided into distinctive
layers: troposphere, stratosphere,
mesosphere and thermosphere
Atmosphere and Solar Radiation This chapter shows how the different
kinds of solar radiation interact with
each of Earth's atmospheric layers,
producing their individual temperature
ranges
1833 - The Three Types of Rocks Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic The three rock types are defined and
illustrated.
1837 - A Past Ice Age is Theorized - Many
of Earth's features were a mystery until it
was discovered that they were produced
by massive ice sheets that periodically
cover much of the planet.
1907 - Radioactive Decay is Used to Date

CORNERSTONES FOR
SUCCESS IN LACROSSE:
LACROSSE:
COVERAGE,
DEVELOPMENT AND
EXECUTION
With Tony Seaman
The start of a new season is a very
exciting time for the coaches, players and
fans. Coach Seaman presents three
cornerstones that serve as constant
reminders for his coaching staff; coverage,
development and execution. Coverage
includes preparing and drilling for all parts
of the game. Fundamentals on offense
and defense are essential for planning
practice each day early in the season.
Stick work, dodging and picks are the
offensive elements. Positioning, footwork,
checks, sliding and double teams are key
defensive skills. Offensive and defensive
situations are team oriented game
dynamics that must also be part of
practices. The coaching staff also
monitors specific situations such as facing
off, clearing, riding and substitutions. Nine
personnel considerations are an additional
factor to decide as coaches. Strength and
conditioning is a 12-month process and
makes players faster, stronger and more
successful on the field. Coach Seaman
takes to the field with his team to illustrate
offensive and defensive drills at game
speed.

CORRELATING COVER 2 IN
THE MULTIPLE 44-3
DEFENSE AND
MANMAN-TOTO-MAN TECHNIQUES
With Kerry Cooks
Coach Cooks shows off his defensive
expertise in teaching how to correlate the
2-seam with multiple 4-3 defense; this is
basically a 5 under, 2 deep zone. This
alignment provides solid, underneath
coverage that allows a good change to
quarters and forces the opponent's QB to
throw in a tight window. Play diagrams
shown help to illustrate each play and
scheme in detail and by adding game and
practice footage, Cook's teaching points
and strategy are very easy to understand.
The fundamental skills of leverage and the
slide technique are outlined by Cooks.
'Footwork and jam' are part of the slide
technique, which focuses on sliding the
near foot in the direction of the release
and replacing the far foot. The stutter is
used when the WR drops his weight or
sinks his hips to break. Other areas
covered are the off-man technique and the
catch technique. This DVD presents a very
detailed look at correlating the 2-seam
with the 4-3 defense.

CREATING A BLUE OCEAN
OCEAN
IN THE U.S. WINE
INDUSTRY
Authors: W. Chan Kim, Renee Mauborgne
In July 2001, Australia's Casella Winery
introduced Yellow Tail into the 'red ocean'
of the highly competitive U.S. wine market.
Small and unknown, they expected to sell
25,000 cases in their first year: in fact,
they sold nine times that amount. Yellow
Tail rapidly became the number one
imported wine and the fastest growing
brand in the history of the U.S. and
Australian wine industries. It is the overall
best selling 750ml red wine, outstripping
California, French, and Italian brands. And
by the end of 2005, Yellow Tail's annual
sales were tracking at 25 million cases.
This visual program case is presented in
two parts. Part A examines the competitive
environment of the U.S. wine industry in
2001 prior to Yellow Tail's launch. We find
that the industry is overcrowded, highly
competitive, and increasingly squeezed at
the distribution and retail stages of the
supply chain. In short, a 'red ocean.' Part
B explores, through interviews with the
principal players behind the launch of
Yellow Tail, the development and
execution of Casella's blue ocean
strategic move.

CREATING A NO
TURNOVER MENTALITY
AND SHOOTING DRILLS
With Jack Bennett
The drills in this presentation represent a
commitment to "not beating yourself"; i.e.,
reinforcement of not taking bad shots,
getting back on defense, blocking out, and
not turning the ball over. The first set of
drills presented focus on passing and
communicating. These drills, the 3-lane
2-ball drill and partner passing drill,
develop the fundamentals skills of passing
and catching. Bennett excels
at
developing a mindset of taking care of the
basketball. Bennett also is a master at
numerical disadvantage drills. The 4 vs. 6
drill requires the shorthanded offense to
make seven consecutive passes. Shooting
is an area that should not be compromised
in practice. The heart of great shooting
comes from the 3-man 2-ball shooting drill.
Another excellent drill is the machine gun
shooting drill. Several variations and
teaching points accompany this drill.
Consistent practice drills, shown in this
excellent DVD, will help your team take
care of the ball!

CREIGHTON GREEN &
BLUE PRESS
With Dana Altman
Coach
Altman's
press
promotes
aggressiveness, helps control tempo,
hides deficiencies and utilizes a deep
bench. Using players in a clinic setting the
Green and Blue Press takes shape
starting with the 4-man on the ball backed
by the 2-man and 3-man at the free throw
line. The third line of defense is the point
guard near half court with the 5-man back
to protect the basket. Once the ball comes
in it is trapped and the other defenders
adjust. This immediately disrupts the flow
of the game for the opponent. The key to
the Blue is to trap the ball in an area 10
feet on each side of the half court line.
Altman teaches his players to trap
immediately when the ball crosses half
court. Both presses are used during
games based on the kind of tempo and
pressure desired.

With a low birth rate and an aging

immigrants—but how temporary or
permanent their status should be is a
matter of debate. This film examines
existing and proposed guest worker
programs, in addition to other EU
measures, designed to address the results
of globalization and shifting demographics.
Focusing not only on the EU’s tremendous
economic advances but also on regions
afflicted by poverty, the film looks at
immigrant education, ambition, and
self-employment, while sifting through
issues such as worker job security and the
growth of sex industries. Nick Clark of the

CRUDE IMPACT
Crude Impact is a powerful and timely
story that explores the interconnection
between human domination of the planet,
and the discovery and use of oil. This
documentary film exposes our global,
deep-rooted dependency on fossil fuel
energy and examines the future
implications of peak oil - the point in time
when the amount of petroleum available
worldwide begins a steady, inexorable
decline.
In 1956, M. King Hubbert, a geologist at

time - would peak in the early 1970s, and
then continuously and irreversibly diminish.
His prediction was vilified and largely
ignored - until it came true. In Crude
Impact, modern experts predict how
quickly global peak oil will become a
reality and discuss its many serious
implications for our way of life and our
world. Impacts discussed range from the
environmental to the cultural, examining
how global oil dependency is impacting
everything from human rights practices,
world population, renewable energy
technologies,
political
agendas,
globalization, wildlife habitats, and of
course global economy.
Journeying from the West African Delta
region to the heart of the Amazon
rainforest, from Washington to Shanghai,
from early Man to the unknown future,
Crude Impact chronicles the collision of
our insatiable appetite for oil with the rights
and livelihoods of indigenous cultures,
other species and the planet itself. With
great depth and insight, the film highlights
the underlying myths and beliefs that are
propelling us toward what many experts
believe will be a cataclysmic period for
humanity.
A story filled with discovery, sorrow,
outrage, humor, and ultimately hope,
Crude Impact uncovers the complex
entanglement of the fate of humankind
with its fierce dependence on petroleum,
while providing a vital inspiration for
change.
Reviews
“It is impossible to see this film and

“Crude Impact is a terrific film. I have
no hesitation in saying it is the best

about recommending it to anyone.
Key I think is its accessibility to
someone with no prior exposure to
the story of oil.” -Chris Vernon,

know about this issue, and Crude
Impact covers it from all angles. This
is a film no educator should be
without.' -David W. Smith, Science

time - would peak in the early 1970s, and
then continuously and irreversibly diminish.
His prediction was vilified and largely
ignored - until it came true. In Crude
Impact, modern experts predict how
quickly global peak oil will become a
reality and discuss its many serious
implications for our way of life and our
world. Impacts discussed range from the
environmental to the cultural, examining
how global oil dependency is impacting
everything from human rights practices,
world population, renewable energy
technologies,
political
agendas,
globalization, wildlife habitats, and of
course global economy.
Journeying from the West African Delta
region to the heart of the Amazon
rainforest, from Washington to Shanghai,
from early Man to the unknown future,
Crude Impact chronicles the collision of
our insatiable appetite for oil with the rights
and livelihoods of indigenous cultures,
other species and the planet itself. With
great depth and insight, the film highlights
the underlying myths and beliefs that are
propelling us toward what many experts
believe will be a cataclysmic period for
humanity.
A story filled with discovery, sorrow,
outrage, humor, and ultimately hope,
Crude Impact uncovers the complex
entanglement of the fate of humankind
with its fierce dependence on petroleum,
while providing a vital inspiration for
change.

CRY OF THE OWL: THE
HIMBA IN NAMIBIA
By Erez Laufer
In Namibia, in one of the most desolate
regions of Africa, lives the Himba tribe,
one of the last tribes trying to maintain a
traditional way of life. Today the modern
world is pressing in on them. Coupled with
the real menace of HIV/AIDS, the Himba
find their situation threatened from all
sides. The film reveals the everyday lives
of one family in an intimate manner. They
open their home to us, and their hearts as
well, as over the course of one year they
share their innermost thoughts, desires
and fears.
Big Mama, the head of the clan, has been
diagnosed with a life-threatening case of
tuberculosis. She is hospitalized in the
nearest town which is hundreds of miles
away from the village. Without her
presence, the clan finds it hard to cope.

LIFETIME OF
PASSION
Directed by Glenn Gebhard
With unprecedented access to Cubans on
both sides of the Florida Straits, Cuba: A
Lifetime of Passion looks at the extant
reality of the Cuban Revolution and its
uncertain post-Castro future.
Cuba is in the 45th year of a fledgling
revolution - a revolution which took place
before many Cubans were even born. But
what is the legacy of this historic revolution?
What will happen to the revolution after
Castro? And what effect will this have on
the Cuban ‘exile’ community in Miami?
Through a series of revealing interviews
with people who fall on all sides of this
issue - pro-Castro Communists in Cuba,
oppositionists in Cuba, U.S. Department of
State personnel, academics, Cubans
“stranded in exile” in Miami – along with
sequences beautifully shot in 1080i High
Definition,
this
thought-provoking
documentary considers Cuba today,
yesterday, and tomorrow.
Review
“Let those who desire a secure
homeland conquer it. Let those who
do not conquer it live under the whip
and in exile, watched over like wild
animals, cast from one country to
another, concealing the death of their
souls with a beggar's smile from the
scorn.” - Jose Marti, 19th Century

CURRICULUM IN A BOX:
MIDDLE SCHOOL
GUIDANCE - CAUTION:
TEENAGER UNDER
UNDER
CONSTRUCTION
This fast-paced program uses humor and
appealing animations to introduce middle
schoolers to the many changes that
accompany adolescence. Program goes
beyond the physical manifestations of
puberty and discusses the enormous
emotional, social and developmental
changes that occur. Likeable teen hosts
reassure viewers of many normal aspects
of
early
adolescence:
changing
relationships with friends, a new sense of
independence from parents, unpredictable
moments of emotional upheaval and
distraction, and more. Viewers will
understand and appreciate that there is no
single “blueprint” for how a teen is
built—what matters most is acceptance of
self and others. The message is clear:
adolescence is not a destination but an
important milestone in a journey that lasts
a lifetime.

CUTTING EDGE SPEED AND
AND
AGILITY: BASE
BASE MOVEMENT
TRAINING
With Todd Norman, M.S. Kinesiology
In the initial phase of training for any
athlete, entry-level drills should focus on;
static and dynamic balance, foot speed
and coordination, force reduction, first step
quickness, base agility, linear speed
mechanics, and base conditioning.
Likewise Base Movement Training is the
foundation of Coach Norman's Movement
Progression Training philosophy. Most
athletes, coaches, and trainers overlook
this phase of training as they fail to
develop the fundamental abilities of body
control and "oneness" in their athletes. It is
this phase of training that prepares the
athlete for the more intense and advanced
training routines required to optimize
performance, and without it, athletes will
either limit their success and/or sustain
unwarranted injuries. Coach Norman
utilizes a structured approach to teach a
proven system of training methodology for
overall athletic development. In addition to
a detailed explanation of Base Stance
Mechanics, the viewer will learn numerous
drills performed with the agility ladder, low
hurdles, plyometric boxes, various cone
drills, weighted sleds and much more.
Mostly, you will learn how to effectively
incorporate
a
variety
of
training
components safely into your program, with
the confidence and knowledge required to
initiate the appropriate performance
training process with any multi-sport
athlete. Although considered entry-level
within Norman's system of performance
enhancement, the drills in this program
are challenging and intense, and greatly
improve an athlete's internal awareness
and athletic ability.

With Alan Stein
Coach Stein is known nationwide as an

is an example of using the tennis ball.
CUTTING EDGE SPEED AND

AGILITY: SPEED, POWER,
POWER,
AGILITY AND REACTION
With Todd Norman, M.S. Kinesiology
Once an athlete has been effectively
progressed through Coach Norman's
Base Movement Training regimen, it is
now time to turn up the demands and take
your training to a whole new level. Coach
Norman
demonstrates
over
150
demanding,
intense
exercises
for
advanced development of athletes. The
first series of drills are Force Production
drills, also known as "plyometrics," which
are continuous and repetitive drills
designed to stimulate and train fast twitch
muscle fibers. There are 13 plyometric
drills in the vertical series, and 23 drills in
the second series that address lateral,
diagonal, horizontal and upper body
plyometric training. Resisted Force
Production training is also an intense
portion of this second series, and Coach
Norman describes three key drills he
utilizes to train elite level athletes. Training
tools include low and high hurdles,
medicine balls, weight belts, and bungee
cords. Force production with movement is
an advanced 18 drill series that combines
sprinting and change of direction with
explosive movements. The next segment
is dedicated to quick feet and change of
direction. In part one, 30 challenging drills
are demonstrated and coaching points
highlighted. Part two is a 26-drill package
that pushes athletes physically and
mentally to the limit. Cones are used
creatively in 25 different agility drills. A
comprehensive set of 11 exercises, the
reactive agilities, is applicable to many
game-like situations. Norman also shares
21 challenging exercises in the area of
resisted/assisted agilities that make up the
core of his advanced training program. To
conclude the DVD, Coach Norman
describes his post workout partner
stretching routine for enhanced flexibility
and effective recovery.

With Todd Norman, M.S. Kinesiology
Training the core provides many athletic
benefits including injury prevention and
performance
enhancement.
Coach
Norman believes core work should serve
as the foundation for all training activities,
and must be a priority in any training
program. The first section on Core Stability
includes more than 15 exercises designed
to strengthen the muscles that support
and stabilize the spine. The Dying Bug
Progression,
Stability
Ball
Supine
Resistance, and Transverse Cable
Rotation are a few examples of stability
exercises utilized by Norman to train elite
level athletes. The next series includes
over 25 exercises for Core Strengthening,
which is broken down into sagital, rotary,
and multi-planar movements. Combo

AND MOVEMENT
PREPARATION
With Todd Norman, M.S. Kinesiology
Athletes must prepare effectively before
training and competition to prevent injury
and maximize performance. Todd Norman
opens his presentation with three series of
effective warm-up routines that include;
basic movement drills, inclined treadmill
activities, and a 3-minute jump rope
routine. Coach Norman then goes on to
demonstrate how dynamic stretching prior
to training actively prepares the body by
maintaining
core
temperature
and
increased blood flow to the muscles and
joints. He presents more than 15 dynamic
exercises that develop mobility, balance,
body control, and enhanced range of
motion. The next step in the program is
the movement preparation series, where
Coach Norman presents two routines that
effectively prepare the athlete to
accelerate and decelerate with precision
and body control. These drills combine
many basic movements such as sprinting,
stopping, shuffling and turning to activate
the physical demands and mental focus
required for the ensuing training and/or
competition. Coach Norman concludes
with his training recommendations for
athletes that implement his program. This
program has variety and creativity and can
be used by athletes of all sports.

DAMASCUS - SYRIA, ON
THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS
But what’s not in dispute is that the war in
neighboring Lebanon has drastically
altered the balance of power in this region
and radicalized opinion in Syria. One of
Syria’s leading Sunni clerics Sheikh
Mohammed Habbash told reporter Mark
Corcoran that his people are now calling
for the creation of a Syrian Hezbollah-style
militia to retake the Golan Heights – Syrian
territory occupied by Israel since the 1967
war. “The government now may forbid any
attack in Golan Heights but I can tell you
honestly government and our leadership
cannot stay forever in control of everyone.”
Sheikh Mohammed Habbash says.
Everywhere in Damascus there are
portraits of Hafaz and Bashar al Assad the
father-son dynasty that’s ruled this country
with an iron fist for more than 35 years.
But now their official portraits have been
joined – even upstaged – by posters of a
bearded
Lebanese
cleric:
Hassan
Nasrallah – leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah,
self proclaimed victor of a month long war
that shattered the myth of Israel’s
invincibility. The yellow flags of Hezbollah
fly everywhere. A victory for Nasrallah, has
been greeted as a victory for all Syria
-which along with Iran provided him with
arms, money and advisers.Now, former
Presidential adviser turned regime critic
Ayman Abdel Nour - fears the growing
power of Islamic extremists who are
attempting to exploit the mood. “I assure
you something, now the biggest danger for
the regime in the eyes of the top regime
people, is radical Islam”

Balanchine, the legacy of his beautiful
ballets and the striving for perfection which
he instilled in his dancers lives on. This
documentary
celebrates
six
of
Balanchine’s ballerinas, Mary Ellen
Moylan, Maria Tallchief, Melissa Hayden,
Allegra Kent, Merrill Ashley and Darci
Kistler, and shows them keeping alive the
ballets and the inspiration they learned
from him. For all of them, Balanchine was
the single most powerful influence in their
lives.
These ballerinas, along with Suzanne
Farrell, Tanaquil le Clerq and Diana
Adams, are seen in a feast of excerpts of
Balanchine ballets, including Concerto
Barocco, Serenade, Symphony in C,
Firebird, Stars and Stripes, Ballo Della
Regina,
Chaconne,
Agon,
Four
Temperaments, Apollo and Scotch
Symphony. This film creates a composite
portrait of being a dancer, of being a
Balanchine dancer, and shows how the
lives of Balanchine and these six
ballerinas touched each other in indelible
ways during a unique period. He nurtured
and made each of them, and many others,
more beautiful as dancers than they would
have imagined possible, and they in turn
inspired him in many different ways to
create his remarkable range of superb
ballets.

DANIELSON: A FAMILY
MOVIE (OR, MAKE A
JOYFUL NOISE HERE)
Actots/Artists: Daniel Smith, Sufjan
Stevens, Danielson Famile, Daniel
Johnston, Steve Albini, Rick Moody,
David Garland
Director(s): JL Aronson
This intimate and eloquent documentary
traces the unorthodox path of Daniel Smith
-- eccentric musician, visual artist and
devout Christian -- as he creates a musical
phenomenon with siblings and friends
under the name Danielson Famile,
eventually struggling to realize his own
identity as an artist once the family
members begin their own adult lives.
Along the way he mentors an unknown
singer-songwriter named Sufjan Stevens,
whose subsequent success stands in
contrast to the music world's uneasy
reception of Danielson just a few years
earlier. Combining hybrid storytelling,
essential live performances, animated
sequences and a dollop of Danielson
archives, director JL Aronson offers a
provocative yet subtle look at a complex
life outside the mainstream.

is one of the few Christian rock acts

"They make deeply religious music
that is all at once uplifting, disturbing,
performative and playful. With ringing
xylophones, piercing falsettos, clean
cut looks, live shows like revivals and
a dominant, corporeal love of Christ
that would make even Flannery

"This family that plays together
dresses up as doctors and nurses
onstage in an attempt to "heal" its
audience -sort of like the Shaggs,
GWAR, Donny and Marie, ER and

"All sorts of odd acts are committed in
the name of God, but the music of the
Danielson Famile may be the oddest
of them all. Simultaneously evoking
the Osmonds and the Residents,
these Clarksboro, N.J. siblings have
earned a cult following that cuts
across spiritual boundaries and even
inspired designer John Fluevog to
market a Danielson Famile shoe." PULSE MAGAZINE

DARWIN'S NIGHTMARE
Actots/Artists: Hubert Sauper
Director(s): Hubert Sauper
Forty years ago, a voracious predator was
introduced into the waters of Tanzania's
Lake Victoria where it quickly extinguished
the entire stock of native fish. Its
ecological impact aside, the Nile Perch
became highly prized for its tender, plump
fillets, hardly meeting the demand at
elegant 4-star European restaurants.
Huge, empty foreign cargo planes land to
export the lake's gourmet bounty, taking
out 55 tons of processed fish daily. In their
wake, they leave starving villagers to
scrounge a meal out of the discarded fish
heads and rotting carcasses. With
massive epidemics, raging civil wars,
crime, homelessness, and drug-addicted
children, the question becomes: what do
the reportedly "empty" planes deliver to
this destitute community? The answer is
as shocking as it is devastating, and
Darwin's Nightmare becomes a nightmare
for all mankind.

DATE RAPE: A VIOLATION
VIOLATION
OF TRUST
To the average student, the definitions of
date rape and sexual assault are
notoriously unclear. Use this program to
eliminate the confusion so young adults
understand exactly what these things
are—and the attitudes and biases that
typically accompany them—before anyone
gets hurt. The program firmly reinforces
the concepts that rape has its roots in hate
crime; date rape is just as wrong as rape
by a stranger; a victim is never “asking for
it,” no matter how the person dresses; and
no one ever “deserves it.” The program
also underscores the rules of the dating
game: a date is not an invitation for sex;
No means No; and the inability to give
consent doesn’t mean Yes. Interviews with
rape survivors and mental health
professionals shed additional light on the
trauma caused by rape, the process of
post-rape emotional recovery, and the
importance of post-rape support by family
and friends. Date rape drugs are given
special attention, and tips on safer dating
are provided.

DAVID AND LISA
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Keir Dullea, Janet
Margolin, Howard Da Silva, Clifton James
DIRECTOR(S): Frank Perry
This touching '60s classic about two
emotionally disturbed teenagers drawn to
each other in a mental institution created a
sensation among audiences and critics
when it was first released. Portrayed
unforgettably by Janet Margolin (Annie
Hall) and Keir Dullea (2001: A Space
Odyssey), the painfully shy Lisa can
communicate only through rhyme, and
David cannot bear being touched. Strongly
attracted to each other, they develop a
deep bond that changes both of their lives.
Directed by Frank Perry (Diary of a Mad
Housewife, TV's A Christmas Memory)
with a strong supporting performance by
Howard Da Silva as the compassionate
psychiatrist, this powerful film will leave its
mark on you forever.

DIRECTOR(S): Terrence Malick
One-of-akind
filmmaker-philospher
Terrence Malick has created some of the
most visually arresting movies of the
twentieth century, and his glorious period
tragedy Days of Heaven, featuring
Oscar-winning cinematography by Nestor
Almendros, stands out among them. In
1910, a Chicago steel worker (Richard
Gere) accidentally kills his supervisor and
flees to the Texas panhandle with his
girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and little sister
(Linda Manz) to work harvesting wheat in
the fields of a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard).
A love triangle, a swarm of locusts, a
hellish fire-Malick captures it all with
dreamlike authenticity, creating at once a
timeless American idyll and a gritty
evocation of turn-of-the-century labor.

DEAD MEN'S SECRETS:
M19 - ESCAPE AND
EVASION IN EUROPE
Every day during World War II, Allied
soldiers were captured by the Nazis. And
for almost the entire course of the conflict,
there were men whose only job was to
free these unfortunate souls.
Drawing on interviews with those who
were there and documents and other
artifacts only recently made available to
the public, DEAD MEN'S SECRETS goes
inside M19, one of the most secretive
agencies of the war. Operating behind
enemy lines, they rescued scores of spies,
downed airmen and escaped prisoners.
From an inside perspective on the storied
"Cockleshell Raid" to the journeys like the
one taken by Airey Neave, the first person
to escape from Colditz, M19: ESCAPE
AND EVASION IN EUROPE is a riveting
look at one of the most unusual operations
of World War II.

DEADLIEST CATCH:
SEASON TWO
Howling winds fierce enough to knock
people off their feet, tossing waves, frigid
temperatures. Swinging 700- pound crab
pots for hours. Guaranteed injuries. That's
the life of an Alaskan crab fisherman. He
can earn enough money in a few months
for a family to live on for a year or more.
But it's also one of the deadliest, most
backbreaking jobs there is. For these men,
many
second-and
third-generation
fishermen, working to the brink of
exhaustion is more than just a job - it's a
matter of pride. Crews continue to forge
into the frigid Bering Sea to compete
against not only Mother Nature, but also
against each other as they struggle in an
increasingly regulated and cut-throat world
to maintain a family tradition that has
lasted for generations.

DEADTIME STORIES
Actots/Artists: Scott Valentine, Nicole
Picard, Melissa Leo, Cathryn DePrume,
Matt Mitler
Director(s): Jeffrey Delman
Once upon a time, when you were six
years old, your parents used to tell you
"bedtime stories." Somehow those stories
became twisted in your dreams, and you
sometimes had the worst nightmares
about haunted heroes, fire-eating witches
and bloodsucking werewolves who ate
children for breakfast. Remember? Well,
hold on to your popcorn, because your
favorite nightmares come to life in a
horror/fantasy salute to the age-old
bedtime story ritual. Travel on a
mysterious journey to a medieval world
populated by blood-crazed witches, evil
experiments and captive maidens. Then
from the catacombs and dark caverns of
medieval Europe you plunge into modern
suburbia and the frolicsome adventures of
a nubile lady jogger tracked by a savage
werewolf. Finally, sensuality becomes
macabre black comedy on the trail of three
escaped mental patients who share a
country house with a daffy murderess.
Pray you can sleep again!

DEAN SMITH'S
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE
SCRAMBLE DEFENSE
With Dean Smith
Dean Smith's Scramble Defense is a
defensive weapon that changes tempo,
forces turnovers and was a major factor in
Dean Smith's success at UNC over the
years. The main benefit of the scramble is
that it forces the opponent out of their
regular
man-to-man
offense.
A
prerequisite for employing the scramble
defense is a solid, pressure man-to-man
attack. Everything comes as a result of
players understanding basic man-to-man
pressure. Coach Smith begins with the 30
series - the run and jump attack that UNC
has used successfully for decades. This is
particularly effective after timeouts when
the surprise factor is in the defense's favor.
The 40 series is ignited after the first pass
to either side of the floor. All players rotate
to different positions and jam passing
lanes for the errant pass. Both the 30 and
40 series can also be used all over the
floor. Out-of-bounds situations, free throw
situations, and defending the fast break
are all covered by Smith. More than 50
vintage UNC game clips put the 30 and 40
series in action. Also, Smith takes to the
floor
in
a classic, one-of-a-kind,
on-the-floor clinic to demonstrate both
defensive systems. The scramble defense
has become a defensive standard in
basketball across the globe, and now
Coach Smith breaks down this time
honored trapping defense step-by-step,
which will allow you to easily implement it
into your program!

DEAN SMITH'S POINT
ZONE DEFENSE
With Dean Smith
Coach Smith opens his "DVD vault" and
welcomes
you
inside
for
an
unprecedented look at the point zone.
Fundamentally, the point zone is
man-to-man pressure on the ball with a
four-man zone in support. Disguising the
defense is possible against baseline
out-of-bounds plays and is a benefit of the
point zone. Smith diagrams the two-man
front to cover vulnerable areas along the
baseline, the two-man trap against
out-of-bounds plays and the 1-3-1 set.
Rebounding coverage for guards is also
thoroughly presented. Smith takes you
through situational defensive coverages
that come from years of experience with
this zone. This segment will enhance your
ability to adapt the zone to your team. This
DVD is an incredible blend of today and
yesterday and includes over 50 vintage
game clips that highlight the great UNC
teams and players through the years, as
well as
a classic, one-of-a-kind,
on-the-floor clinic presentation by Coach
Smith. In this footage, every movement
and technique of the zone is demonstrated

PROPHECIES OF IRAQ
Did Hebrew prophets foresee events

For the second time, Babylon modern-day Iraq has fallen to

The fall of Babylon in 539 BCE is
recounted in stirring detail.

unsettling series, revisits the prophecies
and divinations of the Ancients and traces

Babylon lives in legend and in the text of
the Bible as one of the most magnificent
cities of ancient times. Its beauty and
sophistication,
invulnerability
and
influence were unmatched. Yet Hebrew
prophets divined the unimaginable: its
complete destruction.
In 539 BCE - fully 150 years after the
prophets had their say - the unimaginable
did occur when Cyrus the Great of Persia
sacked the gleaming city. Yet there are
those who say that, though the Persian
destruction fulfilled the prophecies, the
ancient forecast is only now coming to
fruition in modern-day Iraq.
This episode of DECODING THE PAST
details the ancient Hebrew prophecies,
examines the first fall of Babylon, and
finds eerie parallels in the Gulf Wars and

DEFENDING THE 22-BACK
OFFENSE WITH 44-3
Over the years, Coach Bruich's teams
have gained the knowledge necessary to
successfully stop the Double Wing attack.
The Double Wing Offense, which Coach
Bruich feels is a 'big play' offense, includes
a center, two guards, two tackles and two
tight ends toe to toe at the line of
scrimmage. Seven main plays evolve from
this offense: fullback dive, fullback trap,
power pitch, buck sweep, pitch play,
reverse and the pass. The goal of the
defense is to make the offense drive the
football and eliminate big plays. Principles
for the line, ends, linebackers and
secondary are a big part of the overall
philosophy of this defense. From a 5-2 set,
Bruich diagrams the roles of each position.
Also, each of these four groups is broken
down according to rules and teaching
points. Game footage illustrates the

DEFENDING THE SPREAD
SHOTGUN WINGWING-T
OFFENSE
defensive standpoint: the goal of an
offensive numbers advantage and which
defensive player has duel responsibilities.
To determine number advantage, the
opposing coach will draw a line down the
middle of the field and attack the side of
the field with the least amount of
defenders. Johnston illustrates his points
by using game footage. Using the white
board, he shows how an opponent will
determine which defender is under duel
responsibility. A Spread coach who wants
to run will not move away from their base
run attack. The FB trap, sweep, HB Power,
and Belly/Iso plays are good options in the
Spread run attack - and Johnston details
keys to stopping them all. Defending the
pass will depend on the depth of your
corners and the lateral position of your
free safety. To conclude, Johnston shares
his five key principles to defending the
Spread Shot Wing.

To demonstrate his defensive philosophy
he uses NFL game footage from the
Green Bay Packers. The basic 4-3
defense run by the Packers presented a
balanced defense and attack. This allowed
the Packer to take advantage of the talent
they had on their defense. Building a
championship defense begins with
teamwork with everyone on the same
page. Other aspects are fundamentals,
technique and knowing where players fit
into the team. Goals are important and
provide a roadmap for winning defense.
Average
number
of
possessions,
takeaways and limiting opponents to three
scores are key defensive goals. The
philosophy of pursuit states that pursuit is
a burning desire for all 11 players to get to
the ball. Teaching elements of how to
pursue and what to do when players arrive
at the ball are covered. Developing a
swarming defense is all about creating an
attitude. Coach Valesente's 42 years of
football coaching at all levels is wrapped
up in this information-packed DVD!

DEVELOPING
A SWARMING DEFENSE
With Bob Valesente
Coach Tiffany has a great understanding
of what it takes to be great on defense - he
was a 2-time team captain and starter on
defense for three years under Dom Starsia
(now niversity of Virginia head coach) at
Brown. Good communication between the
six defensemen and the goalie are
required to create strong team defense.
The goalie's only goal is to watch the ball
and communicate to the on ball defender.
The off ball defenders determine the slides.
The 'hot player' designates himself as 'hot'
and asks his teammates to fill and second
slide. Other verbal calls dictate the slide
patterns: crease/crease, crease/adjacent,
adjacent/adjacent, and cross crease. Slide
scheme development starts with the 1 v 1
decision-making drill and progresses to a
full catalog of drills that include 2 v 1, 2 v 2
with an outlet, etc. On the field, Tiffany
begins with on ball play. Decision-making
is the key part of team scheme
development. The first slide, second slide,
third slide and recovery are all
demonstrated in drills on the field. The
DVD finishes with game clips of 6 v 6
defense, demonstrating a variety of slide
packages.

PLAY IN ZONE AND

With Bob Valesente
Coach Valesente's expertise is developing
the complete linebacker against the run
and pass. He believes that great
technique and angles can make up for
talent - good players are always in position
to make the play. Pad level and leverage
are two main points made by Valesente.
Good linebackers recognize the run,
identify the blocker and sting him, shed
and go to the ball. Drill work for
linebackers is a big part of this DVD. He
begins with drills that should be run every
day in practice. In teaching man-to-man
coverage, Valesente stresses speed,
aggressively pursuing angles and building
a wall. Four keys to coaching linebackers
include
formation,
distribution,
responsibility and technique. Distribution
comes down to flare, flow and flood. Using

DEFENSIVE: MAN DOWN
DEFENSE - A CATALOG OF
DRILLS
With Lars Tiffany
Coach Tiffany presents a step-by-step
development of the fundamentals of man
down defense. He begins with a
discussion on personnel. A decision must
be made between the best defenders and
a specialty unit. Players must be intelligent
and have a good stick. Man down defense
relies on anticipation of skip lanes and the
ability to knock down passes and shots.
Tiffany has created a catalog of drills that
can help identify and improve the
personnel for man down defense. The 2 v
1 knock down drill works on the drop step
technique and the 4 v 2 drill puts two
defenders in an urgent situation and
requires communication and changing
positions. The 5 v 3 drill addresses the
skip lanes. A series of drills get
progressively more challenging for
advanced players. A drill to develop
offense and man down defensive
technique is the 3v2/4v3/5v4 drill. A
section on terminology is important to
define all-important verbal calls in lacrosse.
Man down schemes used against the 3-3
offense include the center string, the
diamond, 4v3 up top and 3v2 up top.
Defending the 1-3-2 offensive, Tiffany
diagrams on the white board using both 5
man and 4 man schemes. He then takes
to the field to demonstrate many of the
drills and schemes. Game clips of the man
down defense show the system in action.

WILLIAM KLEIN, THE
ACTORS/ARTISTS: Sami Frey, Delphine
Seyrig, Philippe Noiret, Andre Dussolier
DIRECTOR(S): William Klein
William Klein's explosive, challenging New
York street photography made him one of
the most heralded artists of the fifties. An
American expatriate in Paris, Klein has
also been making challenging cinema for
over forty years, yet, with the exception of
his
acclaimed
1969
documentary
Muhammed Ali, The Greatest, his film
work is barely known in the United States.
In his three fiction features-Who Are You,
Polly Maggoo?, Mr. Freedom, and The
Model Couple - he skewers the fashion
industry, American imperialism, and
middle-class complacency with hilarious,
cutting aplomb. Today, Klein's politically
galvanizing and insanely entertaining
social critiques seem even more ahead of
their time than works of the more famous
New Wavers that overshadowed them:
colorful, surreal antidotes to all.

DESIGNING A WEBSITE
The worldwide web has given birth to a
new profession - the website designer.
What does a website designer do? How
do you design a website that works? Mark
Shufflebottom, lecturer in interactive
media design at Bournemouth University
and Catherine Tidnam, web manager of
the Food & Drink Federation, give their
views.
THE EARLY DAYS: The early days of
website design were anarchic - with garish
designs, numerous sites dedicated to
people's cats (among other things), and
problems of technology compatibility. Then
standards were established and - a crucial
step -- design and content were separated
by means of CSS and XHTML files.
"THE GOLDEN RULES": PLAN IT OUT
But how do you set about designing a
good website? What are the "golden rules"?
The first is plan it out: you work out a list of
everything on your site -- the site map.
Next you work on the graphics - how it's
going to look.
REMEMBER THE AUDIENCE: Critical to
everything the website designer does is
the audience the site's aimed at. What
might work for a young audience, might
seem too jokey for an older audience.
Sometimes the best design is the one you
don't even notice...
TEST IT OUT: It's vital to try out the
website - make sure it works before you
launch it. But testing is an ongoing thing,
too - otherwise you run the risk of
complacency.
NAVIGATION: Buttons and links help us
navigate around a website - but it must be
obvious what lies behind the button or link.
Standard controls are helpful, too.
FONTS AND PICTURES: Typography and
the choice of fonts you can use are more
limited on the web. And it's important not
to overload your site with images.
THE HOME PAGE: Experts say the
website has only two seconds to catch its
visitor - so your home page must
communicate instantly, directly.
WEBSITES IN ACTION: But how well
designed are the famous-name websites?
Amazon, Nike, eBay and Transport for
London are assessed and their strengths
and weaknesses analysed.
THE WEB 2.0 REVOLUTION: Web 2.0 is
the next generation of websites. The
technology hasn't really changed but now
the emphasis on sharing - sharing pictures,
video, experience.
AND THE FUTURE? The broadband
revolution means more convergence of
radio, television, news and the web. Rss -really simple syndication -- feeds have
made possible "citizen journalism". We
can now find out about what's going on in
the world more quickly and directly than
ever before.

This definitive look at the Pilgrims'
progress - a marriage of feature-film
quality historical reenactments with the
latest scholarship and analysis of original
source material - will open your eyes to
the reality of their experience. The true
tale of the Pilgrims bears little
resemblance to the popular myth of
elementary school pageants.
From Scrooby to Leiden to Plymouth,
follow the incredible pilgrimage that landed
these unlikely pioneers on the alien shores
of a new continent. Endure alongside the
settlers as their numbers are decimated
during the perilous ocean crossing and as
still more perish in their unforgiving new
home. Gratefully meet Squanto and
Samoset, sit at the table during the historic
first Thanksgiving and learn how the
colony's saga continues in the decades
after.
Throughout this riveting documentary
experience, you will be amazed at the
difference between historical fact and what
you thought you knew, and you will be
surprised how much more there is to the
UNTOLD STORY OF THE MAYFLOWER.

DESTINATION: TOURISM
By Dafna Kory
Bodh Gaya, the world's most popular
destination of Buddhist pilgrimage, is
located in one of India's poorest states.
Visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage
site are typically shocked by the extreme
poverty there, and the Buddhist tradition of
alms-giving motivates them to donate
money. As a result, Bodh Gaya has
developed
a
sophisticated
charity
"industry" which caters to and depends on
tourists and tourism.
This
thought-provoking
documentary
explores the complex, interconnected
effects of tourism, globalization, culture,
philanthropy, and religion in Bodh Gaya.
Destination: Tourism provides a deeply
perceptive and incisive ethnographic case
study as well as a poignant illustration of
the overwhelming challenges facing many
of the world's poor as they struggle to eke
out a living in a seasonal economy almost
completely dependent on foreign tourists.
As the film illuminates, the tourism
economy's volatile nature provides only
seasonal and temporary work for local
residents: time in Bodh Gaya is measured
by the coming and going of strangers. For
four winter months there are tourists, and
therefore work. The rest of the year is
marked by desperate unemployment. In
addition, dozens of foreign-owned and
foreign-operated monasteries function like

all-inclusive resorts, monopolizing tourism
services. The monasteries also inflate
real-estate values: when farmlands
become monasteries, farmers must find a
new livelihood. Survival has become a
challenge for Bodh Gaya's residents.

In the search for sustainable employment,
entrepreneurial locals have established
hundreds of charity schools for destitute
children. These village schools are entirely
funded by tourist donations and have
become a not-to-be-missed point on the
Bodh Gaya tourist itinerary. The mud-hut
schools and their slate-and-chalk students
have become a "Kodak moment" for the
visiting Buddhist pilgrims, and a means of
livelihood for local residents.

LINEMAN FOR THE 33-4
DEFENSE
Destination: Tourism will generate thought
and discussion in any course dealing with
international
development
and
globalization, as well as a variety of
courses in cultural anthropology, Asian
and Indian studies, tourist studies, and
religious studies.
Reviews
"This provocative film reveals the
complexities of 'religious tourism,' the
ethical dilemmas of charity and
philanthropy, and the heartbreaking
realities of seasonal livelihoods in
poor countries. The film narrates and
analyzes these issues but does so
with a smart touch. It does not preach
to or patronize its audience. It asks
compelling
questions,
highlights
unusual encounters, and stimulates
discussion through its self-reflexivity. I
have shown the film in my large
undergraduate class on international
development and the students have
found it to be moving and fascinating.
They have learned as much from this
film as from the treatises on
international
development
and
globalization they have read." -Ananya

With Mike Fanoga
Coach Fanoga's passion for football
begins in the trenches - the defensive line.
Fanoga begins with lining up and stance
for the D linemen. The ends are backed off
the ball about 16 inches and use inside
hand. The nose can crowd the ball or back
off and has the green light. Stance starts
with a wide base, wider than the shoulders
and a flat back. The ends take care of the
A, B, and the C gap. The nose is
responsible for the two A gaps. Fanoga
likes the uniqueness of this defense and
teaches players on a sweep to read and
play right down the line of scrimmage. The
technique is lateral steps down the line,
which he calls "pound his feet." Every
thing the offense does, the defense reacts
to it. The nose is in charge of cut backs in
this scheme. In the two-gap defense,
players are taught the zone, scoop, base,
down and double team blocks. Game
footage drives home the technique that
Fanoga covers on the white board.
Footage of a dozen drills for offense
linemen
conclude
this
excellent
presentation.

DEVELOPING THE
COMPLETE PLAYER
With Mike Lee
Developing a player is the result of hard
work and intense skill development.
Offensive finishing moves from the top of
the key include; the Veer, Stockton Lay Up,
Jump Stop & Finish and Rip Pivot. Each of
these moves is demonstrated with and
without defense. Tight Chairs is a drill to
develop all facets of ball handling in the
open court. Using chairs as defenders,
Coach Lee has designed half and full court
ball handling drills for players of all levels.
A series of drills from half court teach the

the back technique. From the wing, Lee
teaches the "hips across" move to beat the
help defense. Other drills are Florida
one-on-one, L cut series, Florida shooting,
cutting off screens and fade cutting.
