Skin Cancer ? Causes and Risk Factors

Increased use of fertilizers in crop cultivation and increased pollution is increasing the risk of many dreadful diseases. One such disease which is taking many lives every year is cancer. There are various types of cancer depending on the organ or the body part being affected such as lung cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer etc.

What is Skin Cancer?
Abnormal growth and multiplication of skin cells results in development of tumors. Tumors which turn to be malignant are considered as cancerous. There are three types of skin cancers basing on the type of cell being invaded.
? ? ? ? ? ?Basal cell carcinoma

? ? ? ? ? ?Squamous cell carcinoma

? ? ? ? ? ?Melanoma.


Of the three malignant cancers malignant melanoma that spreads to other parts of the body very easily is highly dangerous and may become fatal if left untreated.

Causes of Skin Cancer

Skin being the highly exposed part of the body it is hard to say that skin cancer develops due to one specific cause. Skin cancer can develop due to multiple causes such as
1. ? ? Increased exposure to UV rays
Sun rays contain powerful ultraviolet rays which are to a great extent filtered by the ozone layer. But, due to depletion of ozone layers powerful UV rays are reaching the earth and are the major cause for skin cancers in majority of people. Increased exposure to UV lamps used in tanning salons also increases the risk for tumor growth in skin.
2. ? ? Increased exposure to arsenic containing chemicals
Farmers who use increased amounts of arsenic containing pesticides, carpenters using wood preservatives and those who are highly exposed to radium have increased chances of developing tumors underneath the skin.
3. ? ? Certain types of medical treatments that suppress the immune system
Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy that aim at treating abnormal growth of cells can result in development of cancer of the skin due to weak immune system. In certain other cases where immune system is intentionally suppressed as seen in bone marrow transplantation can also cause skin cancer.

Risk factors of Skin Cancer

? ? ? ? ? ?People with low melanin content i.e. those who have fair skin, blond hair, freckles, green or blue eyes are at increased risk of skin cancers. Generally, the pigment melanin present in skin offers protection to the skin from outside agents.
? ? ? ? ? ?Presence of either more number of moles or presence large sized moles at the time of birth.
? ? ? ? ? ?Skin disorders such as albinism and xeroderma pigmentosum that develop due to abnormalities in the formation of melanin pigment.
? ? ? ? ? ?Hereditary factors.
? ? ? ? ? ?Skin cancers keep recurring after three years of complete treatment. Hence, those with history of skin cancer are at high risk than others.
? ? ? ? ? ?HIV that weakens the immune system causes Kaposis sarcoma a type of cancer affecting skin.
? ? ? ? ? ?People who work in sun for longer duration every day.
? ? ? ? ? ?Increased exposure to sun in early days of life.
? ? ? ? ? ?Presence of more number of scars.
? ? ? ? ? ?Appearance of more number of new moles or change in shape of the existing moles.
? ? ? ? ? ?Compared to women men are at high risk of developing malignant tumors after the age of 50.

?Lastly, skin melanoma is highly dangerous as other types of deadliest cancers such as the lung cancer. With proper care and early treatment it is possible to treat skin cancer by using advanced medical techniques. So, whenever you suffer with skin diseases for prolonged periods or find any abnormal growth on skin consult the physician immediately for proper treatment and to avoid the risk of skin cancer.

Final Four: Is Obama the best celebrity bracketologist?

President Obama is still in with a shout at being the celebrity with the most accurate Final Four bracket, according to ESPN. But things are stacked against him this weekend.

When college basketball's Final Four tips off Saturday night, President Obama is going to have a lot to be proud of. After all, he picked nearly every game correctly in the tournament's East bracket and nailed half of Saturday's contenders ? Kentucky and Ohio State.

Skip to next paragraph

The Bracket-Soothsayer-in-Chief unfortunately pegged North Carolina and Missouri as the other half of college basketball's final weekend. Those slots are held by Louisville and Kansas.

Still, the POTUS has whipped 96.1 percent of bracket jockeys all over America, according to ESPN's figures.

There's just one problem with his bid to take home the title of best celebrity bracketologist:?University of North Carolina. He picked them to win it all, but the Tar Heels were derailed in the Eleite Eight by point guard Kendall Marshall's wrist injury. (See Mr. Obama's full bracket here.)

Yet even with his champion eliminated, Mr. Obama still has an outside shot.

Who is the next greatest celebrity hoops pick 'em pro in the land, according to brackets submitted to ESPN.com? Former 98 Degrees star (and ex-beau of Jessica Simpson) Nick Lachey.

That's right, America. The best-ranked celebrity bracket in America belongs to one fourth of the crew that brought you a hit song in the Disney film, "Mulan." ?

This Building's Balconies Are Actually Swimming Pools [Architecture]

Witness this architectural nightmare and deadly accident waiting to happen: a 37-story, twin tower apartment building that has apartments with swimming pools instead of balconies. Or balconies that are really swimming pools enclosed in glass. Or... whatever. No matter what you want to call this, I would call it crazy. More »

The Finance Blog: Income Tax Slabs for Financial Year 2012-13

Here?s the Income Tax Slabs for the financial year 2012-13, based on the budget presented by the Finance Minister on 16th March 2012.

General
Till 2,00,000 ? 0%
2,00,001 ~ 5,00,000 ? 10%
5,00,001 ~ 10,00,000 ? 20%
Above 10,00,000 ? 30%

Senior Citizen (Between 60 & 80 years)
Till 2,50,000 ? 0%
2,50,001 ~ 5,00,000 ? 10%
5,00,001 ~ 10,00,000 ? 20%
Above 10,00,000 ? 30%

Very Senior Citizen (Above 80 years)
Till 5,00,000 ? 0%
5,00,001 ~ 10,00,000 ? 20%
Above 10,00,000 ? 30%

Comments
The Finance Minister didn?t mention about a separate tax slab for women. Either it is awaited or we will see that it is unified with the General category. At a time when we see a convergence happening in male and female salaries for the same kind of work (lower salary for female workers for the same kind of work is a phenomenon that?s not seen much in cities, but still prevalent in rural areas), I think the unification of tax slabs for men and women makes greater sense.

The first slab is raised from 1,80,000 to 2,00,000 leading to a maximum tax savings of 2,000. People earning income between 8,00,000 and 10,00,000 are the biggest beneficiaries of the new tax slabs as they move from a 30% slab to 20% slab, resulting in a maximum tax savings of 20,000.

Overall, this is not a great relaxation for the income earning populace at a time when the cost of living has consistently been higher and is not showing any signs of cooling.

Gearing Up Support From A Venture Capital Company

Article by Low Jeremy

One of the most important things in order to start a business is a plan. Why? This is because more than 85% of those who invested fail with the inclination that money is all that is needed.

Having a good business plan is like building a house using bricks instead of sticks. This will have the vision and objective of the company, how much is needed, the sales projections and the return of investment.

This will serve like a guide to be able to foresee certain problems and have contingencies in place to deal with it.

Of course, the entrepreneur will still have to worry about money. But a sound business plan will surely invite a venture capitalist. This individual could either work alone or is a part of a bigger organization.

Maybe the person has no time to do it but sees the entrepreneur thinking in the same direction and will like to see how this turns out. Since most startups are risky with the possibility of failure, this individual will also like to play an active role in the business.

The venture capitalist is usually someone who is familiar with the industry that the entrepreneur wants to engage in. This means that person may know the ins and outs so that mistakes can be avoided and surging the business forward.

Where does the person find the person or the company? The entrepreneur can start by asking some friends or those at work should this by the step towards leaving the regular job and spending more time in this endeavor.

After getting a few references, it is time to write a letter together with the business plan to give the prospective investor what this is all about. A formal meeting will usually take place after that and if everything goes well, then the money will start pouring in.

Venture capitalist companies have helped a lot of starters in the information technology industry. The same thing can happen for the individual regardless of the field one is coming from because there are people out there who have the money and are just waiting for the right opportunity.

Does the individual have what it takes to come up with a business plan and then sell it to someone who has the money? That is going to be the question the entrepreneur has to ask oneself because these the venture capital company will also be reviewing other proposals with the same promise of returns.

6 Easy Tips for Throwing a Perfect Baby Shower | Alternative Energy ...

Are you in the midst of planning a baby shower for a close friend or family member? Between food, location, invitations, games, and decorations, planning all the little details of this exciting occasion can get stressful, and the best way to pull this event off just right is to focus on a couple of key things. There is no right way to throw a great baby shower, and years down the line people will remember the good time spent together, rather than the color of balloons you worried so much about. So make people your first priority: if the new mommy and her guests are comfortable, excited, and happy to be celebrating the coming of the newest member of the family, your shower will be a blast!

Here are 5 easy tips that will help you focus your efforts in the right direction.

1. Take cues from the new mommy.

If you are throwing a baby shower for a close friend or family member, chances are you already know her personality and preferences. If you are not sure about something, do not shy away from asking advice from other people who know her well. Use this information to your advantage to figure out what would be most delightful to her on this special day. When you make decisions about location, guest list, food, and activities, consider whether she would really enjoy your choices. Perhaps you are planning to pull out all the stops, rent a big space, invite 50 people, and have a marathon of games with prizes, and she would prefer a low key house party, laughing and chatting with a few closest friends and relatives. If you take her cue on the major stuff, there will still be plenty of room to show your creativity, love and care for the new mommy.

2. Stay organized.

A baby shower is an important event, so for everything to turn out just right, it is a good idea to start planning a few months in advance, and keep yourself organized throughout the process. Starting early will be especially critical if you are planning to invite a lot of people. This will require more coordination and advanced planning to send out invitations, find and book a larger space, as well as plan out the catering or restaurant food menu. In case a venue or caterer that you want are not available, you should leave yourself enough time to find another great option. Having a running checklist is a really easy and helpful way to stay on top of everything.

3. Set the Date

Set the date for the baby shower early and let the guests know in advance, so that more people will be likely to attend. Timing is especially important if the baby shower happens to be around major holidays, when more people are likely to travel. If you have guests coming out of town, it will also make their lives easier if they can get a head start planning the trip to attend the baby shower. Find out if and when the new mommy will have other baby showers hosted by another family member or friend, so that no conflicts of interest arise.

4. Budgeting

Setting your budget early in the planning process will help all the other pieces fall into place. Your budget will help you determine the amount of people you can realistically invite, as well as your food, location, and decoration options. You can throw a wonderful baby shower, even on a small budget. Food and location are usually the biggest cost, which means that you could stay within budget by hosting the shower at home, as well as cooking and buying food yourself, instead of ordering catering. If you have a really big guest list, consider co-hosting the shower with a family member or friend, who would also be willing to contribute to the budget.

5. Guest list and Invitations

One of the first steps to planning and hosting a successful baby shower is to create the guest list. The guest list will give you an idea how many people will ultimately be at the shower, which will play a key role in figuring out your budget. Make sure you have emails, up-to-date addresses and phone numbers for everyone on the list. You can also use the guest list to keep track of RSVPs, and hen give it to the mommy-to-be so she has everyone?s correct contact information to send Thank You cards to.

On the invitations, include the event?s location, map and directions to the location, the event?s date, time, your phone number and the RSVP date. Send invitations five or six weeks before the event.

6. Theme

Having a theme for the baby shower can be both fun for the guests, and helpful to you as the organizer. The theme will set the tone for the party, and can be a source of enjoyment and surprises for the guests. Having a theme will make it easier for you to think about decorations, games, prizes, and anything else you may want to include. You can choose from a wide variety of baby shower themes & ideas online, or invent one that will have personal special meaning to the new mommy.

JudsonNews.comYou Really Need Registry Cleaning And PC ...

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

As you know a registry cleaner is a very popular software program. It really helps users to improve the performance of their operating systems and speed up their computers. Windows normally keeps a sort of database which is known as a registry. It consists of a number of settings relative to the operating system. For example it includes system hardware, installed third party software as well as driver information.

To my great regret the registry often gets cluttered over time. It?s because it simply tends to collect invalid data. It goes without saying that it negatively affects the overall system performance. A corrupt registry often generates troubles. For instance it can freeze the system and even crash it. As many other users you also face these problems and you don?t want your operating system to crash some day. It?s highly recommended to make use of a good registry cleaner as it enables your operating system to work efficiently. Get rid of your corrupt and useless data right now.

I should emphasize that aside from needless data a great number of required files are found in the registry too. That?s why we can?t delete the complete database. Otherwise we?ll face negative consequences. Registry cleaner is a really useful software program as it?s able to repair the valid registry keys. It can help you to get rid of unwanted file fragments that slow your computer?s performance.

It?s up to you to maintain your home computer in the proper way. It?s a good way to avoid problem with performance. I hope you aren?t likely to blame computer manufacturing companies for slowing your PC speed. In most cases exactly users generate software problems.

I?d like to add that you can do more than just run registry cleaners. It would be a good thing to clean your personal computer from all errors. They make a great contribution into slowing your PC. Secondly you should minimize the number of programs actually starting with your personal computer. It should accelerate your PC.

Suffering from slow PC performance? Then you need the best pc optimizer ? consider using PC optimizer pro.

Email Marketing Lists - What You Should Know - Internet Marketing ...

GD Star Rating
loading...

Many companies the world over are in search of ways to build their email marketing lists. Established companies make attempts to obtain the email addresses of existing customers and new companies are struggling to compile an original email list. Let?s explore the things you should know when it comes to building your email marketing list.

Try networking with local businesses. Attend meetings in your local area (i.e. seminars, and city commerce luncheons) to exchange cards and information with other professionals. Exchange business cards and be sure to follow up ? via email of course. However, you should make sure that the people in this network are interested in what you have to offer and the possibility of sharing contacts with you. It?s poor form to contact businesses that wanted nothing to do with you.

Try attending trade shows. Set up a booth or organize a presentation, or simply ?attend? a show and use it as a networking opportunity. Obtain general contact information and offer promotions and ?free? gifts. The people who fill out your information form have automatically ?opted in? to your marketing strategy.

Organize and attend informational seminars geared to both consumers and business contacts alike. Use registration information and other networking techniques to obtain contacts for your email marketing lists.

Retail storefronts are a great place to expand your email marketing lists. You can design a drawing or a contest that requires registration. You?ve probably engaged in this marketing technique before without even knowing it (i.e. registering to win a new car while shopping at the mall). Any storefront opportunities are well-received and are a great way to add to your email marketing lists of contacts.

Get involved in local events. Many people are addicted to openings, parties, musical concerts, and any other event that draws people together. You might even consider sponsoring one of these events yourself or joining with other likeminded business people; to sponsor the event. Doing so can afford you the opportunity to increase your Internet mail address listings and help you get your name out there.

Direct mail marketing techniques, such as sending out postcards, is a great way to grow your email contact lists. You can mass issue postcards with your company name and website and collect contacts as they visit the site or make inquiries. Offering some type of incentive will earn you the best response.

Consider telemarketing. This process can be time consuming but well the efforts if done properly. You can use phone calls to touch base with prior customers and it is a great way to rekindle old business and perhaps make new contacts. Just don?t allow your telemarketing staff to call during lunch and dinntertime hours.

Email marketing is just like any other form of marketing and is designed primarily to open the lines of communication and to make contact with people. You should do your best to translate your everyday interactions with people into business growing leads and contacts. To deploy a successful email marketing lists campaig, you must cultivate your people skills and always adhere to the Golder Rule; treat your customers as you would expect to be treated in a given situation and your business will go far.

Are you a young professional interested in international business?

By Vinay D. Cardwell, vinaydcardwell.com

Young college graduates face an uphill battle to find a good job. Finding a job in international business can be even more daunting. Where do you start? Who do you talk to? Are there companies in Utah doing international business? If so, how can you get connected to them?

The Young Internationalists was formed by Adam Deibert, Vinay Cardwell and Richard McConkie to answer these questions. Young Internationalists brings young professionals and college students who are interested in international trade, diplomacy and development together to network and receive mentoring from experienced business professionals.

Utah has a sizable international business community, but getting involved and knowing where to start can be intimidating. Until recently, if you were to attend a World Trade Center Utah (?WTC Utah?) event, you would notice very few, if any, young professionals or college students. Now when you attend a WTC Utah event, you?ll likely notice many younger attendees, this is due largely to the outreach efforts of the Young Internationalists. ?Co-founder Adam Deibert said, ?The Young Internationalists are allowing the next generation of internationalists to foster relationships with the current international business community.? Providing young professionals access to more experienced professionals has proven very useful for both parties?young professionals gain time-tested advice and best practices, while experienced businessmen learn fresh ideas and insights into technology.

In Utah there are many talented young people with international experience and proficiency in a foreign language. After living abroad and learning to speak French fluently, graduating from BYU and working for Goldman Sachs, Aaron Neuenschwander now works with the Governor?s Office of Economic Development, organizing trade missions and assisting Utah businesses with international goals. Aaron recently said, ?Young Internationalists has provided me with valuable connections both on an occupational and personal level. The depth and experience of members is remarkable and has already helped me think differently about international business. ?

The Young Internationalists meet monthly for lunch or dinner. Most meetings feature a prominent member of Utah?s international business community, who come to speak and answer questions. These meeting have helped members grow and expand. Currently there are over fifty group members with experience in diverse fields, including international finance, logistics, law, economic development and humanitarian aid.

If you are interesting in joining the Young Internationalists, please contact RICHARD@WTCUT.COM.

Korean missile politics overshadow Seoul nuclear terrorism summit

More than 50 world leaders, including President Obama, are set to arrive in Seoul to discuss prevention of nuclear terrorism, but Pyongyang's plans for a new missile test have shifted the discussion.

North Korea?s plan to launch a long-range rocket next month revs up the confrontation on the Korean peninsula just as South Korea is about to welcome more than 50 global leaders here to come up with an agenda for combating nuclear terrorism.

Skip to next paragraph

In the first substantive response to the North Korean plan, South Korea?s President Lee Myung-bak has indicated he will impress upon President Obama the South?s desire to update a 32-year-old agreement with the US that limits South Korean missiles to a range of 300 kilometers.

?We need an appropriate range,? Mr. Lee has been telling journalists here. ?Realities and circumstances have changed.?

Lee is expected to make his plea for revision of the missile deal when he sees Mr. Obama on Sunday after the US president gets back from a quick visit to the demilitarized zone that has divided the Korean peninsula since the end of the Korean War.

The shock of North Korea?s announcement of a missile test gives fresh significance to a ?national security summit? in which the leaders on Monday and Tuesday will discuss a wide range of measures to keep nuclear devices from falling into the hands of terrorists.

South Korea?s foreign minister, Kim Sung-hwan, today branded the North Korean plan to launch a rocket ?a grave provocation? intended to test ?a vehicle with nuclear weapons.? Mr. Kim bristled, however, when asked about a threat by the North to view any mention of North Korea at the summit as ?a declaration of war.?

?Individual issues will not be discussed at the nuclear summit,? he said. ?I do not know why they keep saying that.? Rather, he said, ?This is a peace summit,? dedicated to coming out with rules to keep terrorists from acquiring and using nuclear weapons.

North Korea?s plan comes as a bitter disappointment, considering that US nuclear envoy Glyn Davies and North Korea?s envoy Kim Kye-gwan came up with a deal on Feb. 29 that was widely described as ?a breakthrough.? Mr. Kim said North Korea would observe a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests while Mr. Davies said the US would provide 240,000 tons of food aid.

?So what is Pyongyang up to?? asks Ralph Cossa, who runs the Pacific forum of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Honolulu. ?The North Koreans pulled the rug out from everyone? at a time when it appeared ?safe to go back to six-party talks,? last held in December 2008, on the North?s nuclear program, Mr. Cossa says.

Indeed, the specter of the North Korean missile test hangs heavy over the summit during which leaders are certain to mull the nuclear ambitions of both North Korea and Iran ?on the sidelines,? over meals, in quiet sessions in hotel rooms ? and in mini-summits with President Lee.

In symposiums and seminars staged here all week, analysts have focused on the shock of the North Korean rocket launch rather than on nuclear terrorism.

Everyone appears to agree that North Korea?s real aim is to test an advanced version of the same long-range Taepodong missile that it has test-fired on two previous occasions, in August 1998 and again in April 2009. In each of those cases, North Korea said it had put a satellite into orbit, but scientists say they never saw any sign of a satellite launch.

?Housing bottoming is going to surprise a lot of people? | New Jersey ...

The U.S. housing market, a notable soft spot in the nation?s weak economy for the past four years, is becoming less of a drag on the recovery.

Real-estate markets are showing signs of life as falling prices spur buyer demand, lifting home sales and new construction from the depressed levels of the past three years. The spring selling season, traditionally the busiest period of the year, appears to be off to its best start in five years. Sales of existing homes in January and February were at their highest level since 2007, according to data out Wednesday, though sales in February edged down by 0.9% from January on a seasonally adjusted basis. The decline in real-estate prices has slowed its pace, making Americans less cautious about spending and potentially more disposed to buy a home.

For the first time since 2005, investment in residential real-estate, including home building and renovation, has contributed to U.S. economic output for the past three quarters.

Granted, the housing market continues to struggle. Home prices have yet to hit bottom, and credit standards remain tight. Nearly 11 million homeowners owe more than their properties are worth, while a glut of potential foreclosures still threatens markets. With housing a much smaller part of the U.S. economy after the financial crisis, ripple effects from improvements may pack less punch.
?
?Housing bottoming is going to surprise a lot of people,? said Kenneth Rosen, a housing economist at the University of California, Berkeley. ?Housing was pulling us down consistently, quarter after quarter, for years. That was really over in 2011.?

A housing stabilization could put the recovery on more solid footing. Growth in manufacturing outpaced expansion in the broader economy when the recovery began in the second half of 2009, and the job market has picked up recently, instilling confidence in consumers and businesses and giving landlords room to raise rents.

Real-estate agents and home builders from Florida to the Midwest and California are reporting more activity as buyers take advantage of prices that are down by one-third from their peak as well as low interest rates that have made housing more affordable than at any time in the last decade.

?People are looking around saying ?It?s costing me more to rent than to buy,? ? says Ronald Peltier, chief executive of HomeServices of America Inc., which owns real-estate brokerages in 21 states. Home-purchase contracts in January and February are up about 20% from a year earlier for HomeServices, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and Mr. Peltier said the firm now expects sales growth of around 10% this year, upgrading its forecast last fall for flat sales levels in 2012.

Additionally, given that speak to along with your trainer takes spot electronically, the trainers can function with numerous customers at the same time making them much more accessible compared to the in-gym trainers that only perform by way of appointment.

PFT: In Tebow, Jets get their Wildcat QB

Reuters

The NFL?s Competition Committee announced several proposed changes to the game-day rules and the league bylaws on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday afternoon.

The rules changes that are being proposed are:

1. Giving the authority to determine replay reviews to the replay official in the booth, not the referee on the field.

2. Modifying the horse-collar tackle rule to remove the exception for quarterbacks in the pocket, so that a quarterback in the pocket may not be yanked down by the back of his shoulder pads or inside collar of his jersey.

3. Changing overtime so that the postseason rule will be used in the regular season as well, and no regular-season games will be ended on a field goal on the first possession of overtime.

4. Adding a loss of down to the penalty for kicking a loose ball, as is the case in college football.

5. Adopting the college rule for too many men on the field, which is a dead-ball foul if a team lines up on offense for more than three seconds, or if a team on defense lines up with too many men and the snap is imminent. In those cases, the officials will blow the play dead and assess a five-yard penalty. This change wouldn?t affect the rulings on players running off the field who don?t get off in time.

6. Expanding the defenseless player rule to protect defensive players on crackback blocks, making it illegal to hit them in the head or neck area.

7. Automatically reviewing turnovers via instant replay, just as scoring plays are automatically reviewed.

The league also considered the following bylaws:

1. Modifying the roster rules for teams that play on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

2. Moving the trade deadline from Week 6 to Week 8.

3. Expanding the roster limit for training camp and the offseason to 90 players, with unsigned draft picks now counting toward that limit, whereas in the past unsigned draft picks did not count toward the 80-player limit.

4. Moving this year?s final roster cutdown day to Friday night instead of Saturday, which is designed to give an extra day of work after cutting down to final rosters for the two teams playing in the first game of the season, which this year is on Wednesday instead of Thursday.

5. Adding an injured reserve exemption so that if a player was on the roster through the first regular season weekend, that player can be placed on injured reserve and designated for return, and then can return to practice six weeks later and play in a game eight weeks later, rather than having all players on injured reserve out for the season.

6. Allowing one roster exemption per team per week for a player who is inactive with a concussion.

PFT Planet, tell us how you feel about the proposed rules changes.

2012 Garrett Scott Documentary Development Grant

Barge (Director: Ben Powell)
This film examines the impact of one of America?s great rivers, documenting the next chapter of life on the Mississippi. Fascinating riverboat workers?notorious captains and seasoned first mates?expose both the decidedly colorful and highly specialized aspects of their profession.

Let the Fire Burn (Director: Jason Osder)
In 1985, police closed in on the Philadelphia row home headquarters of MOVE, a radical group some considered terrorists. Through archival footage, this film reveals a remarkable example of how intolerance, and incompetence, can lead to unthinkable acts of violence.

2012 SDF: In-the-Works

Caf? Sense (Directors: D.L. Anderson, Brooke Shuman)
In the last few decades, specialty roasting companies have tried to make the connection between the small farms that grow the plant to what we find at gas stations and in whipped drinks. Durham?s Counter Culture Coffee hosts a weekly tasting where drinkers learn to distinguish the flavors associated with different countries.

Can?t Stop the Water (Directors: Rebecca Marshall Ferris, Jason Ferris)
Over the last fifty years, Isle de Jean Charles has been gradually shrinking, and is now almost gone. Four months into filming the lives of the families that call this place home, one of the greatest environmental disasters in history left the people of this tiny island in south Louisiana with an even more uncertain future.

untitled LUCY film (Director: Elisabeth Haviland James)
Lucy Daniels believes a family secret radically impacted the trajectory of her life. Despite early promise, she endured brutal treatment in mental institutions only to pen a bestseller and win a Guggenheim fellowship, all before the age of twenty-two. Re-creations, animated dream sequences, and intimate interviews tell her story.

40th Anniversary of New Day Films

Anything I Want to Be (Director: Liane Brandon)
A teenager?s parents tell her time and again that she can grow up to be anything she wants to be. Through playful, yet troubling, reenactments, ?anything? is discovered to be what exists within the realm of certain limitations.

Betty Tells Her Story (Director: Liane Brandon)
A woman sits in a chair before the camera. At the urging of the filmmaker, she describes a past event. She finishes her story, but then the filmmaker asks her to recount it. The distinctions between the first and second telling are restrained yet perceptible, raising ideas about femininity and self-worth.

Growing Up Female (Directors: Jim Klein, Julia Reichert)
This documentary captures six women, from ages four to twenty-six, as they experience coming of age in America. Touchingly revelatory, this pioneering feminist film acknowledges the countless pressures applied to young women and the many forms these influences can take.

It Happens to Us (Director: Amalie R. Rothschild)
Women of different ages, races, and economic backgrounds boldly speak to having had an abortion. This diverse collection of stories articulate and connect the viewer to powerful, sometimes graphic, recollections of the physical and emotional experience.

2012 Vault

Bitter and Sweet (Director: Johanna Lee)??????????????????????????? 2001 Festival
Witness a day at an acupuncture shop in New York?s Chinatown, with Mom, Pop, and the family cat. A delightful, affectionate portrait of both a business and a marriage.

Breadmakers (Director: Yasmin Fedda)????????????????????????????? 2008 Festival
At the Garvald Bakery, a team of workers with mental disabilities prepare bread for all of Edinburgh. The participants, each in their own way, contribute to the rhythm of this choreographed effort.

Caretaker for the Lord (Director: Jane McAllister)??????????? 2011 Festival
The maintenance man of a church in Glasgow?s East End muses about its future as he mops the floors and changes the light bulbs. The run-down church ministers to more members of its vulnerable community than those in charge realize.

Crow Film (Director: Edward P. Davee)?????????????????????????????? 2003 Festival
Ubiquitous and much-maligned crows are transformed into stately, mysterious objects of beauty. This film captures the intricate rhythms and textures of the birds flying and pecking their way through their world and ours.

For a Miracle (Po Cud) (Director: Jarek Sztandera)?????????? 2005 Festival
This astonishing film of the national pilgrimage of disabled people and their caregivers from Poland to Lourdes by train?under the auspices of Catholic clergy?is a surreal passage that inspires faith and mercy, anxiety and despair.

The Intimacy of Strangers (Director: Eva Weber)????????????? 2006 Festival
Cellphone conversations have the ability to collapse the distinctions between public and private space. Capturing intimate moments obliviously performed for strangers, this film is a love story of the modern age, transmitted for all to hear.

Leche (Director: Naomi Uman)???????????????????????????????????????????? 1999 Festival
A dreamlike evocation of a dairy farm in Mexico through a textured film surface?the filmmaker develops her film in buckets. A document of a timeless place and the magic of crafting things by hand.

Lost Book Found (Director: Jem Cohen)??????????????????????????? 1998 Festival
This film updates the venerable city symphony, but without the genre?s grandiose claims. Instead, this is more of a chamber piece; it starts as a personal documentary but then shifts from the private to the enigmatic.

A Love Supreme (Director: Nilesh Patel)??????????????????????????? 2002 Festival
In this stunning and elegant tribute, Nilesh Patel pays homage to his aging mother as he captures the beauty and artistry of her life?s work: making samosas. A delicacy.

Metacarpus (Director: Nicole Triche)????????????????????????????????? 2007 Festival
Magicians, musicians, doctors, and others sing the praises of their hands. A collage of insight and image portrays this special limb?s beauty and diverse utility, its development and distinctive form.

Picture Day (Director: Steven Bognar)??????????????????????????????? 2000 Festival
One school. 601 kids. 12 frames per kid. What do you get? This playful, funny parade of images reveals the range of possibilities contained in half a second?s worth of pictures.

Salt (Directors: Michael Angus, Murray Fredericks)?????????? 2009 Festival
Every year a photographer ventures to the middle of Lake Eyre, a desolate salt flat in South Australia, pitching camp at its very core. With neither land nor water in sight, he looks into the abyss and finds that, in the midst of nothingness, there is everything.

Seltzer Works (Director: Jessica Edwards)???????????????????????? 2010 Festival
Regular consumers are a rare breed but the dedicated owner of Gomberg Seltzer Works in Brooklyn takes great pride in his work and the details involved in creating the real throat-tingling spritz.

A Thousand Words (Director: Melba L. Williams)????????????? 2004 Festival
Williams?s lack of communication with her father, especially after a stroke silences his memories, leads her to explore his enthralling home movie footage and accomplished still photos from the Vietnam War, which speak of a fettered artistic soul.
