Author to Donate Proceeds from Film Adaptation to Alzeheimer's Research
Author to donate proceeds from film adaptation to Alzeheimer’s research ADVOCATE STAFF REPORT Feb. 16, 2016; 0:30 p.m. An LSU Health Sciences Center doctor who wrote a novel about a New Orleans street musician suffering from memory loss and a neuroscientist intent on helping her is donating 70 percent of the money he makes from a movie based on the book to Alzheimer’s research. “I am rewarded because my efforts to bring to the community the magnitude of the problem of Alzheimer’s and dementia will reach a wider audience,” said Dr. Nicolas Bazan, professor and director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health New Orleans. As part of a national art house theater tour, the movie “Of Mind and Music” has a special run through Thursday, at the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center, 1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. It will screen at 6 p.m. The film has won more than 12 awards on the festival circuit, including five audience awards, three best actress awards for Aunjanue Ellis, two jury awards for best director and several jury awards for best feature film. “Of Mind and Music” stars Ellis (“Quantico,” “The Book of Negroes,” “Men of Honor,” “The Help,” “Ray”), Joaquim de Almeida (“Our Brand Is Crisis,” “Desperado,” “Fast Five,” “Clear and Present Danger”), Bill Cobbs (“Night at the Museum,” “Oz the Great and Powerful,” “The Bodyguard”), Sharon Lawrence (“NYPD Blue,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Ruth Negga (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “World War Z,” “The Samaritan”).

NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: January 15, 2010 Barb Bradley President and CEO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Office: (919) 834-6623 ext. 224 Fax: (919) 829-7299 Email: [email protected] Action on health reform Imminent: N.C. House Democrats who voted against bill represent districts that would benefit the most from reform Raleigh -- Major agreements on health reform are being made today as House and Senate leadership aim to get a health insurance reform bill on the President's desk as soon as possible. The three North Carolina House Democrats who are likely to stand against the bill on the final vote represent districts that would benefit most from health reform. Congressmen Mike McIntyre, Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler -- the three North Carolina Democrats who voted against the House-passed health reform bill back in November -- represent districts with uninsured rates among the top five in the state. A report by the Urban Institute demonstrates that in both uninsured children and uninsured all non- elderly, those three Congressmen's districts are among the worst five in the state, and all are worse than the national averages. Here are the numbers: These are compared to national averages of 9.9% children uninsured and 17% all non-elderly uninsured. "We hope all our leaders in Washington realize how badly North Carolinians need health insurance reform," said Barb Bradley, President and CEO of Action for Children North Carolina, a nonpartisan, statewide child advocacy group. "Health care premiums are rising much faster than earnings in this state, and North Carolina is losing employer-based health care faster than almost every other state in the nation. -

Midterm Elections
Immigration and the 2010 Midterm Elections INTRODUCTION Immigration had a significant impact on the 2010 elections and is now a top election issue. Certainly the economy and unemployment were the dominant issues across the nation, but more candidates campaigned on immigration than in past elections. They posted position statements on their campaign websites, dedicated precious resources to radio and television commercials on the issue, and some even used the issue to attack their opponents in a manner that may have made the crucial difference in the outcome. In addition, immigration was a frequent topic of debate, not only in official settings, but at campaign stops. Often the question asked was whether a candidate supported Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. The popularity of SB 1070, combined with brutal drug cartel violence along the Southern border, a high unemployment rate, and strong voter disapproval of President Obama’s handling of the immigration issue, meant that candidates could not avoid the issue as easily as in previous elections. To be sure, there were candidates who were intentionally vague or entirely silent on immigration. This was especially so in close races where committing to amnesty would likely alienate independent voters critical to pulling out a victory. In other instances, candidates would give conflicting statements, such as voicing their opposition to amnesty while in the same breath supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform (interpreted by voters as amnesty). In other cases, candidates simply didn’t take an official stand. Overall, however, FAIR’s midterm election analysis shows that support for immigration controls was a common denominator among winning candidates. -
The Shadow of the Cross
Welcome to Georgetown Presbyterian Order of Worship Georgetown Presbyterian Church April 1, 2012 Holy Week Begins 10:00 am Service Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Yet even as the people cheered “Hosanna” the stage was quickly being set for the events that would change the world forever. By week’s end, Jesus will be betrayed, arrested, convicted in an illegal trial and crucified at a place that has come to be known as “Calvary” - a Latin translation of the Biblical name “Golgotha.” Our service today remembers that week from the joy of the entry, to the agony of the crucifixion, to the hope of something more to come. The Choral Cantata this morning lifts up our Lenten theme “The Shadow of the Cross. At the end of the service, you are invited to leave the sanctuary in silence but not in despair - for indeed there is more to come - God will not leave us at the cross and the shadows will give way to the coming dawn. Leader: The Peace of Christ be with you! People: And also with you! Offerings of Praise! We come into God’s presence joyfully and humbly, preparing ourselves to receive God’s word. The Shadow of the Cross Prelude The Old Rugged Cross Bernard A service remembering the events of Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Good Friday *Call to Worship Based on Psalm 51:10-12, 17 Leader: Hosanna, the Messiah comes! People: Blessed is the One Who Comes in the Name of the Lord! April 1, 2012 Leader: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. -

CASA Volunteers Add the Color
CASA volunteers add the color... VOICES FOR CHILDREN ANNUAL REPORT 2011–2012 ... that brings a foster child’s case to life. ¤ February 2013 DEAR FRIENDS, On behalf of all of us at Voices for Children, thank you. Whether you are a donor, a volunteer, or a caring citizen concerned about the plight of foster children, we are very grateful for your generosity of time, funds, and spirit. Your support enables us to advocate on behalf of the thousands of abused and neglected children living in San Diego County foster care. It is through the dedication and commitment of our Court Appointed Special Advocates —our CASA volunteers—that we are transforming the lives of innocent children caught in the complex bureaucracy of the foster care system. These children have suffered horrific trauma by those who were supposed to care for them and love them the most, and the impact of such betrayal lasts a lifetime, shadowing them well into adulthood. It erodes their physical health and mental well-being and can devastate self-confidence, resilience, trust, and hope. CASAs from Voices for Children provide that hope. They speak up for their case children’s needs in San Diego County’s Juvenile Dependency Court, providing context, detail, and history so that judges can make the best possible rulings to ensure the well-being of each boy and girl. As one judge put it, “I sometimes think of a child’s coloring book when I consider the work of CASAs. The case files I receive are full of generalized reports from social workers and lawyers—they provide an outline of a child. -
Middle of Nowhere
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Written and Directed by Ava DuVernay WINNER! BEST DIRECTOR AWARD SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2012 PRESS CONTACT: Tilane Jones | AFFRM | 818.995.0050 | [email protected] PRESS QUOTES NEW YORK TIMES January 27, 2012 | "Amazing Child, Typical Grown-Ups" by Manohla Dargis "Further under the radar though far more successful is "Middle of Nowhere," a heartfelt, slow to build, slow to burn drama from Ava DuVernay about a young married woman, Ruby (Emayatzy Corinealdi), keeping body and soul together while her husband, Derek (Omari Hardwick), serves out his sentence in a California prison. Working with the terrific cinematographer Bradford Young, Ms. DuVernay fills her movie with long shots and meticulously framed images of casual beauty that reflect the quietly evolving inner life of her heroine." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 30, 2012 | "Sundance Film Festival: From 'Beasts' to 'Ice,' wonder wins out" by Kenny Turan "…At the other end of the spectrum is "Middle of Nowhere," winner of the U.S. drama directing prize for Ava DuVernay. This is classic filmmaking of a completely different sort…" THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER January 20, 2012 | Review by John DeFore "Strong performances and a restrained script sell drama about a couple separated by prison walls. Solidly crafted by budding writer-director Ava DuVernay, it should find a warm reception at fests and in a niche theatrical run." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 20, 2012 | "Meaty Roles for Black Actors in MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" "It's a real challenge to find African American characters with depth," Oyelowo said at a post-screening Q&A, "But when I read this, it was just like 'Do the Right Thing,' or 'She's Gotta Have It,' the characters just lept off the page... -
