In Cedar Rapids, the flood waters rose higher than what anyone could predict and its destruction was incomprehensible. Waters crested nearly 20 feet above flood stage and 11 feet above its previously highest crest in the history of the city, engulfing the downtown area and forcing people to evacuate their homes and businesses. In the end, over 5,000 homes and 1,000 businesses in Cedar Rapids were damaged due to flood waters. Despite the destruction of Mother Nature, all the Sisters of Mercy in Cedar Rapids were safe. Sacred Flood waters rise outside the Lundy Pavillion at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids on Friday, June 13, 2008.

    Animerte perler - Animasjonsklassikere fra National Film Board of Canada [DVD] Animerte perler - Animasjonsklassikere fra National Film Board of Canada [DVD] Animerte perler samler 14 animerte kortfilmer produsert av National Film Board of Canada i tidsrommet 1949-1993. Utgivelsen er en tidløs animert fest! Animerte perler Diverse regissører National Film Board of Canada 1949-1993 Norsk filminstitutt 4:3 Fullskjerm Dolby 2.0 131 min. 2 6 Blame Canada Det er ikke mulig å overdrive hvilken rolle National Film Board of Canada (NFB) har spilt i å utvikle en alternativ rute for animasjonsfilmskapere som ønsker å skape et kunstuttrykk på siden av Disney og de andre dominerende amerikanske studioene. Etter etableringen på slutten av 1930-tallet har NFB produsert mer enn 13.000 dokumentarfilmer, animerte og live-action kortfilmer og tatt med Oscar-statuetten hvem til Canada 12 ganger, inkludert en æresoscar i 1988. Da Norman McLaren ble ansatt ved NFB i 1941 startet også animasjonsproduksjonen og som følge av McLarens pionerarbeid, økte anseelsen til NFB, og særlig animasjonsdivisjonen, betraktelig. Med utgivelsen av Animerte perler har Norsk filminstitutt samlet 14 animerte kortfilmer produsert av NFB i tidsrommet 1949-1993, og viser med dette hvilken sterk posisjon NFB har innen internasjonal animasjon og hvordan de har jobbet målrettet og metodisk over lang tid for å bli en ledende produsent av den frie, kunstneriske animerte kortfilmen. Første del av utgivelsen er naturlig nok viet Norman McLaren - banebrytende dokumentarist og animasjonsfilmskaper, som ikke bare har skapt en rekke fabelaktige produksjoner, men langt på vei satt standarden for filmproduksjonen hos National Film Board of Canada.

I am grateful that we did not have to G further reduce staffing or services during the past year thanks to prudent budget decisions by the Nebraska State Legislature and the generosity of private supporters. I am proud of the self-sacrifice and professionalism of our staff, who have shouldered the extra burdens imposed by the state budget crisis during the last three years. PRESIDENT’S I am especially proud of the Society’s accomplishments over the past year. More­ MESSAGE over, I am cautiously optimistic that the state’s overall economy will improve despite persistent drought and ongoing economic problems. 2004 was the 150th anniversary of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This commemoration has given us the opportunity to recall the early days of territorial Nebraska and to recall the impact of Euro-American migration on Native societies. Nebraska History magazine has led the way. An outstanding bibliographical essay provided all Nebraskans with an important reading list of pertinent scholarship that has appeared in the pages of our own magazine. The Library/Archives exhibition of the Forke Map Collection at the Museum of Nebraska History likewise enabled us to visualize the physical changes in the place called Nebraska over the past three hundred years. The Library/Archives continues to serve as the backbone of nearly everything that we do at the Society ranging from our statutory obligations as a state repository to helping students prepare for National History Day competition.
