  • Geocaching 101
    Geocaching 101 Geocaching is an activity that will get you and your family outside and provide countless hours of adventure and enjoyment—in your local community, in Connecticut, throughout the United States, and even worldwide! If you still have questions after participating in our program and reviewing this information, we suggest you go to www.geocaching.com and search their Help Center. Membership on the geocaching site is free to all and offers plenty of opportunities to get you started on a lifetime hobby. What is geocaching? Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates for latitude and longitude and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. What is the meaning of the word “geocaching?” “Geocaching” refers to GEO for geography, and to CACHING, the process of hiding a cache. The term “cache” is used in hiking/camping as a hiding place for concealing and preserving provisions. Where are geocaches located? Geocaches can be found all over the world. It is common for geocachers to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. These locations can be quite diverse. They may be at your local park, at the end of a long hike, underwater or on the side of a city street. What does a geocache look like? Geocaches vary greatly in size and appearance. You will see everything from large, clear plastic containers to film canisters to a fake rock with a secret compartment.

Cleveland Clinic has created a series of Outcomes books similar to this one for its clinical institutes. Designed for a physician audience, the Outcomes books contain a summary of many of our surgical and medical treatments, with a focus on outcomes data and a review of new technologies and innovations. The Outcomes books are not a comprehensive analysis of all treatments provided at Cleveland Clinic, and omission of a particular treatment does not necessarily mean we do not offer that treatment. When there are no recognized clinical outcome measures for a specific treatment, we may report process measures associated with improved outcomes. When process measures are unavailable, we may report volume measures; a relationship has been demonstrated between volume and improved outcomes for many treatments, particularly those involving surgical and

  • Film Reviews.6
    Page 75 FILM REVIEWS Black Swan (Dir. Darren Aronofsky) U SA 2010 20th Century Fox International “Done to death, I know. But not like this.” When Vincent Cassel’s leery ballet school director, Thomas Leroy, introduces his cast to the new season’s programme featuring ‘Swan Lake’, he describes how he will reinvent the classic ballet by stripping it down and making it visceral. To do this, he needs a new lead dancer, a woman capable of embodying the characters of both the innocent white swan and the seductive black swan. Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan takes us on a journey from rehearsal to the stage as a delicate young woman, Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), prepares for the role and undergoes a tragic transformation. Aronofsky’s latest film doesn’t so much delve into the world of ballet as use it as a pretty setting for his psychological tale of artistic obsession. Nina’s life consists of dancing and not much else. She appears to have no interests outside ballet and lives at home with her mother (Barbara Hershey as a truly terrifying composite of stage mother and classic horror psycho mother), whose grip on her daughter is far tighter than Nina’s own grip on reality. Already unpopular with the other dancers, and with suspicion surrounding her sudden elevation to prima ballerina, the introduction of a new dancer to the company (Mila Kunis) quite literally throws Nina off balance and forces the viewer to reel with her for the rest of the film as she tries unsuccessfully to regain her footing.
