Sour Grapes or Sour Dates?
I am a big fan of sleep. I believe that good sleep is the best medicine, not just laughter. I would like to write about a patient of mine, a fifty-something male, with complaints of hypertension and insomnia.
I was not the first TCM physician who the patient saw. He had been given herbs before but his hypertension was still unabated. When I saw him for the first time, history revealed that he had severe insomnia. Logic dictates that his hypertension could be due to the lack of sleep.
Acupuncture, however, did not work at all. I tried the patent remedy Zao Ren An Shen Ye, which helped a bit, but not so much. Also, his blood pressure was still in the 180/100 range. Not acceptable to me.
I brought out the heavy artillery. I decided to use Suan Zao Ren Tang (Sour Jujube decoction).
After three days of taking the formula, the patient followed up. He is sleeping better and his blood pressure is down to 140/90. Talk about treating the branch by treating the root!
So what's so special about Sour Jujube?
A lot of people know about Da Zao (jujube or red dates) but what about Suan Zao Ren or sour jujube seeds?
Suan Zao Ren is sweet and sour in flavor, meaning it tonifies and preserves yin and fluids. It's nature is neutral so it will neither promote nor modulate physiology and inflammation. It enters the Heart and Liver meridians so it affects the Mind through the Heart and the Qi through the Liver. Great Chief herb.
Anyway that's enough for now. In a few days we will present an analysis of Suan Zao Ren Tang – the formula itself!

Kansas City Chiefs GM John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid are wasting no time remaking the roster.
NFL Free Agency was just minuted old when KC starting making deals.
Here is a breakdown of what we know so far:
1. TE Anthony Fasano is a Chief
The first move the Chiefs made was to agree to terms with former Miami Dolphins TE Anthony Fasano.
The 49ers announced via Twitter that they have indeed traded Smith to KC. The 49ers confirmed the deal is for two draft picks but they did not get specific about the 2014 conditional pick.
3. DE Mike DeVito is on his way to KC
Former Jets DE Mike DeVito is on his way to KC. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports expects the Chiefs will sign him.
4. Glenn Dorsey is heading to San Francisco…for a visit
The Chiefs, as of now, have failed to re-sign Glenn Dorsey. With DeVito on his way to KC, Dorsey could be finished with the Chiefs.
Former New orleans Saints backup QB has agreed to a deal with the Chiefs. Some reports indicate the deal could be worth as much as $3 million per year. It is reportedly a three-year agreement. That would pretty much solidify Daniel as Smith's backup.
That is what we know so far, Addicts. We are still watching the CB market which has yet to move. Stay tuned.

Art exhibition of Carlo Sampietro will be in the public areas of the STRAF hotel from the 28 of November to the end of January.
Charles Sampietro gives new life to the waste material coming from the streets of New York in an exhibition entitled "The Street Is In The House", an innovative concept in interior design and at the same time an overview of the New York street life. The artistic production of Carlo Sampietro draws from the sights and sounds of New York City, as well as from 13 years of experience as art director for major advertising agencies with numerous international awards. The artist combines irony and functionality in his works: neon signs of old NY taxis have become lamps with built-in FM radio; signs barrage of police become the basis for tables with glass; distributors of New York newspapers host media representations of contemporary scenarios. Sampietro uses a three-dimensional language to tell stories about the Big Apple, inspired by the objects he uses. The exhibition breaks the boundary between what is the street and what is in a house, asking art to maintain functionality.
Carlo Sampietro
Was born on Lake of Como, Italy, and studied Graphic Design in Verona and then moved to Milan in the then magical world of advertising. He has created advertising campaigns for some of the most famous brands, including McDonalds, Vaseline, and Gordon's Gin. His work has had international recognition as a Gold EPICA Awards, Bronze Award Eurobest, Italian Art Directors ,Club Gold Awards and Clio Awards.
Since 2004 he lives in New York, where, after completing his career in advertising as a creative director, he dedicates
to achieving its cultural arts projects.
The first "The StreetIs In The House" presented at the Salone Satellite last April 'was published by the Washington Post, El Pais, Corriere della Sera, Interior Design, Elle Decor and won two international awards for contemporary art: Celeste Prize and A Design Awards.
THE WORKS ARE FOR SALE - ask for info at the Reception Desk or write at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Cheesemonger: Cheddar
Name: Cheddar
Producer: Various
Milk: Pasteurized/Raw Cow's Milk
Age: 1-10 years
Price: Varies largely
It's amazing that I've taken this long to get here, reviewing the most ubiquitous of all cheeses: cheddar. In truth, though I felt the need to validate Swiss cheeses, cheddar is perhaps the most maligned of all. I can't even begin to think about the sort of dyed, ultra-processed cheese products that either go under the name of cheddar or are seeking to capitalize on its famous yellow color.
I'll start off with that, the yellow color of cheddar. It's a natural dye called annatto. Though it is a completely harmless natural substance, it contributes nothing to the cheese. "White cheddar" is just cheddar without annatto. So what defines cheddar? The name cheddar is actually a reference to a unique process called cheddaring, where the curd is cut, stacked and turned to help expel whey.
It is no surprise that cheddar is so well loved in this country. Its flavor, a mixture of caramel-like sweetness and saltiness, is perfectly suited to the American palate. Though some could argue that is a carryover from the English palate, with their ploughman's lunch.
There is also the matter of sharpness to address. In cheddar, I define sharpness as the amount of acidity in the flavor of the cheese. This acidity increases as the cheese ages. A young cheddar, aged 1 year or less, will be very mild, sweet and salty, with a mellow flavor and softer texture. I, personally, find 2 to 3 years to be the perfect balance of flavors, though some love the added punch of additional aging. I've even found cheddars that are as old as 8 to 10 years, a bit excessive in my book.
Speaking of the English, I should mention the sub-classification of cheddar, the English-style cheddar. In this case, though there are still some (in my opinion, substandard) English cheeses encased in wax, the cheese is traditionally wrapped in cloth and sometimes rubbed in lard while it ages. The end result contains a certain earthiness; a mustiness imparted by the cloth. I feel this is a far more complex and interesting flavor than the famous Vermont or Wisconsin cheddars.
When it comes to pairings, I'm a bit of a purist and consider wine nothing short of heresy. Cheddar is an English cheese and should be enjoyed with one of the country's favorite drinks: beer. If you want to get really authentic, a pint of Pale Ale is the only way to go.
If you're looking for good cheddar, here are two I can heartily recommend:
Keen's Cheddar: An English cheddar and probably one of the best and if not the best cheddar I've ever had. In fact, I'd put it amongst my top 10 cheeses. It has all of the characteristics of an English cheddar, which I described above, along with a perfectly balanced acidic bite.
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar: Produced by cheddar giants, Cabot (you know, those folks who supply the shrink-wrapped cheese in the supermarket), this limited production cheddar is then aged in fellow Vermont residents, Jasper Hill's, caves. Like the English cheeses, it's also wrapped in cloth and has an amazing crunch and toffee like sweetness. It won American Cheese Society 'Best in Show' in 2006. I've seen customers fight over the last piece of this cheese.
What are your favorite cheddars? Do you like the bite of the aged Grafton Village offerings? Do you like to feed your conscience, as well, with the organic farmstead cheeses of Neighborly farms? Let me know in the comments.
6 Comments
+Twin Oaks Canadian, sharp or extra sharp as basic sandwich cheese. LOVE cheddar and watercress together.
+Applewood (a smoked farmhouse, forget who makes it)
+a super aged Wisconsin cheddar that is dry like parmesan, a revelation
I forget the names of the others...although there was one that said something about fresh curd and was aged, which sounds contradictory . . .
I'll keep an eye out for that Cabot Clothbound
: )
enjoying your column, Patrick!
During a summer internship in London, I discovered the ploughman's lunch: sharp cheddar on crusty bread with unappealingly brown (but very tasty) branston pickle.
Cheddar is still my go-to cheese. Not too expensive and way tasty.
As cheese purist you may scoff at the flavored cheese, but Cabot's makes a roasted garlic cheddar that was sooo yummy! I've only seen it at the official Cabot's place in Vermont. Sigh, since moving cross country I really miss it!
Cheddar is actually named after a little town in England with a beautiful gorge, Cheddar Gorge... The process "Cheddaring" is also named after the town.... There are some funny people (mostly from Cheddar) who believe that, like Champagne, you should not be able to call any Cheddar not made in Cheddar, Cheddar!
Though it's namesake comes from Cheddar, it's no longer really the definition of what makes a cheddar (unlike, say, Tomme de Savoie or Pyrenees Brebis, whose very name defines their origin). It would be a shame if those folks succeeded, as there's very little in the way of local restrictions on quality. Though my fav cheddar, Keen's, comes from the same county (Somerset), I've had bland, yellow, wax covered offerings from the same area.
So have any of you folks had the 8-10yr Australian cheddars? I've been thinking about getting them in the store, but never tried them.
The best cheddar I've had is Quicke's farmhouse cheddar from England. It has a grassy, "meadowy" aroma to it that smells very fresh. The taste is not overly sharp like some other cheddars I've tasted, but has a very pleasant bite to it.
Keen's is also good, but I'm partial to Quicke's.
Not fond of Montgomery's cheddar...way too spicy and peppery for my taste. It made the edges of my tongue burn.

It looks like Maria Shriver will be in big trouble with her hubby Arnold Schwarzenegger after being spotted and photographed using her cell phone while driving. Read more on this story below.
Gov. Schwarzeneggers' wife Maria Shriver was seen violating the California hands-free law that her husband signed into law last year! Oops!
TMZ.com posted two photos as well as a video Tuesday of Maria Shriver holding a cell phone to her ear while driving on three different occasions.
On his Twitter feed Tuesday afternoon, Schwarzenegger wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There's going to be swift action."
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says that by "swift action," that Arnold means he'll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving.
Schwarzenegger signed a law last year requiring California drivers to use a hands-free device when talking on cell phones. Since then, the California Highway Patrol has issued more than 150,000 citations, according to The Associated Press.
State fines for driving while using a handheld device are $20 for the first ticket and $50 for subsequent tickets, plus additional fees.
In Los Angeles County, where Brentwood is located, the superior court has set the cost at about $93 for the first ticket and $201 for the next one, meaning Shriver would owe at could owe at least $300 in fines and court fees had she been caught by police.
Maybe Arnold will give his wife Maria a good spanking for her naughty behavior!

Facebook Can Make You Fat, Broke & Lazy but That's Not the Worst Part
This is a huge bummer if it's true, because I really love Facebook. But a new study found that the more you're on Facebook, the lower your self-control. The lower your self-control, the more likely you are to do things like break your diet or break your budget and rack up credit card debt.
Frequent Facebookers were more likely to choose cookies over granola bars, because apparently looking at the lives of our close friends makes us feel warm and fuzzy -- boosting our self-esteem -- which makes us think we deserve a treat.
This makes me want to cancel my Facebook account.
And the more you like your friends, the more vulnerable you are to packing on the pounds. "It really only happens when the people you're connected to are close friends -- 'strong ties' -- because you care about these people," said Andrew Stephen, one of the researchers who did the study.
It gets worse. Not only will you reach for the Ben & Jerry's instead of the rice cakes after perusing the profiles of your besties, you're more likely to give up on word puzzles (well, who wants to do those?) and you're more likely to have credit-card debt. "Even after just five minutes of Facebook use, people showed higher levels of self-esteem and a reduction in observable self-control," Stephen said. FML.
What can we do if we just can't break the Facebook addiction but don't want to cut up our MasterCards after we have to buy new fat pants? Just don't do it.
"Just think, I'm going to correct myself and go out of my way to not have that lapse of self-control," Stephen said. Because yeeeeeeeah. That works really well.
I'm not sure what the point of figuring out that Facebook causes us to make bad decisions is if the answer to the problem is "don't." But maybe I'll think twice before looking at all those vacation photos my pals are posting unless I think I've got some spare time to spend at the gym. Maybe.
Would you quit Facebook if it made you pack on the pounds?

If your college, department, or organization plans to start using social media, please fill out this form. If you have questions, please email the UNH social media office to discuss best practices and find out what tools will work best for you.
Strategize. Think about messages, audience, goals and a strategy for keeping your information organized. Some audiences may be on one social media network, but not another. Social media can be very time-consuming and maintaining more than one social network is difficult. Create a content calendar, or use Hootsuite, TweetDeck, or another social media management tool to organize posts so you always have fresh content to post.
Launch. Once your site is established, add some content. When you launch and are ready to share, announce the new social channel via traditional channels like email, newsletters, and the department's website.
Engage. Social media is all about communication. People use websites and blogs to get news and information, but social media is about engagement and interaction. Respond to comments; ask questions, share appropriate photos and links. Engaging with your followers will make your site more valued, more authentic. Please keep in mind that you are representing the University of New Hampshire.
Monitor. Social media sites are full of comments. Monitor, but accept and reply because it demonstrates to your audience that you're listening. Depending on the social network, you can change settings to approve comments before they appear. Check the settings of each social network.
Measure. Use Google Analytics, it's free and it can help you calculate the activity on your social media networks. Facebook has built-in analytics called insights, so does YouTube. Google Analytics can be used with any website, any blog. Other ways to measure include using Hootsuite Analytics, SimplyMeasured, or Topsy.
Stay Connected. Help keep #UNHSocial updated and connected. If you're using social media, please fill out this form, which we'll review and then list your social media channel(s) on the official UNH social media directory.

Mission city leaders waited seven months for the right time to formally announce the community center and natatorium at Bannworth Park open for business.
City Manager Martin Garza said the buildings were preliminarily accepted by the city in June in time for summer use. Also, he said, the city wanted them open in time for the start of the school year. It allowed Sharyland Independent School District to use the pool during the winter.
But, though the buildings have been in use since June, the official ribbon cutting wasn't held until Monday afternoon in conjunction with an exhibition by the International Blind Tennis Congress.
"We reserved the ribbon cutting for this date, knowing that we were working together with the Blind Tennis Congress," Garza said. "We felt that this was a big event being that it's an international exhibition that was taking place."
Dozens attended the ribbon cutting, including several visually impaired children who themselves are learning to play tennis.
Garza, also a tennis players, said he'd never heard of the sport before partnering with the International Blind Tennis Congress, but he knew the partnership would make the ribbon cutting special. Later that day, the No. 1 tennis team in Mexico played the No. 1 tennis pair from Japan.
Tony Guerrero, acting chairman of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, said just four years ago, the park was just a diamond in the rough, and 50 years ago, it was just a field surrounded by orchards. He remembered there were only two pools in the city when he was growing up, one at a hotel and one over where the sewer plant now sits.
His family couldn't afford to swim at the hotel, so he did a lot of "resistance swimming" in a nearby canal.
"For a diving board, we just backed up a truck and we dove and we swam there, and yes a couple of people lost their lives that were good friends of mine, but that was it for us," Guerrero said, adding that it's taken years to establish the park, "but we had a mayor that kept on us and kept on us and kept on us and said it's not going to be a dream, it's going to be a reality."
George Myers, president of the Mission Chamber of Commerce, said in an era of tight budgets, some may call the park improvements frills.
"But I can tell you from a quality of life perspective, these services, these types of amenities, these are as important to the city as even police and fire services," Myers said. "From a Chamber of Commerce perspective, we always look at everything from the focus of business. From a business perspective, they're looking at quality of life."
For his part, Mayor Norberto "Beto" Salinas, deemed the man of the hour, said, "I hope that people enjoy them, and the kids, which are the most important part of our lives here in the City of Mission.
"We're always going to have a home for anyone that wants to come and visit."

Exhibitions, Symposia & Other Initiatives
Haystack Fab Lab
|The Haystack Fab Lab's inaugural season began with the 2011 summer workshop sessions.
Haystack has established a Fab Lab, a digital fabrication facility that will augment other studio practices. Fab Labs, a program of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Bits and Atoms, are an international network of small scale digital fabrication labs. Fab Labs are located in Afghanistan, Columbia, Costa Rica, Germany, Ghana, Iceland, India, Kenya, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States.
The Haystack Fab Lab is the result of a collaboration with MIT. Haystack's visiting artist studio was expanded to accommodate the Fab Lab and a new artist space, built in 2012, is now the visiting artist studio. The Haystack Fab Lab includes a CNC router, laser cutter, 3D printer, milling machines, sign center, and computer terminals. For the 2011 season the studio was open during summer sessions, staffed by technical assistants from MIT, AS220, Brown University, and Harvard Graduate School of Design. Session faculty and students experimented with digital fabrication, fostering a dialogue about the creative process, ingenuity, technology, and the work of the hand.
|Haystack and the MIT fab lab were featured on the NPR show To the Best of Our Knowledge on May 19th. Listen to the interview with Haystack's Director Stuart Kestenbaum and fab lab founder and MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld.
|The Haystack Fab Lab in use during this summer's first session.
As a central part of its mission, Haystack has developed programs that look at craft in a broader context. In 2002, Haystack held its first invitational symposium, Digital Dialogues: Technology and the Hand, in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab. In 2009, Neil Gershenfeld, Director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, and founder of the fab lab program, was a workshop leader for the school's Summer Conference and in 2010 he returned to Haystack as a visiting scientist during our third session. Three doctoral students from the MIT program served as technical assistants, offering instruction in digital fabrication to Haystack faculty, staff, and students.
Digital Fabrication Tools for Teachers and Students
|April 2012 Fab Lab training in Deer Isle village.
|May 2013 Fab Lab training on campus.
Gaining knowledge of Fab Lab equipment requires extensive training. Last year's training at Haystack began an initiative to create a local peer-to-peer network within the community, for expanded training and use of the Haystack Fab Lab year-round. From May-October equipment is housed in the Fab Lab studio on Haystack's campus for use by workshop participants and Haystack staff. When the campus is closed from November-April, digital fabrication equipment and tools are moved to the school's Center for Community Programs in Deer Isle village, providing a convenient and accessible space for the teachers and students from the local schools to attend training sessions and use the equipment. The new facility also provides opportunities for Haystack to work more closely with technology programs in the local schools—last winter and spring, thanks to pilot funding from the Surdna Foundation, we worked with staff from AS220, a Providence, Rhode Island-based arts organization that has a Fab Lab in place. Haystack staff members have continued to train alongside the teachers and students from participating schools. Working with Deer Isle-Stonington High School and George Stevens Academy teachers and administrators Haystack will be developing programs that encourage hands-on design and participation by the students.
|Teachers learn alongside students during the Fab Lab training sessions.
|Check out AS220 Lab Goes to Haystack! Blog by James Rutter, graduate student at MIT and Session 1 Haystack Fab Lab assistant/consultant.
In December 2012, and February and May 2013, AS220 technicians Elliot Clapp and James Rutter led more training sessions supported by the Maine Arts Commission's Innovative Production program, a donor advised fund of the Maine Community Foundation, the Stephen & Tabitha King Foundation, Surdna Foundation, and Haystack's Program Endowment Fund. The most recent sessions involved using the vinyl cutter and shopbot.

One of the goals of Fab Labs is to provide opportunities for rural communities to design and create the tools they want or need to solve local problems. Activities might range from technological empowerment and peer-to-peer project-based technical training to small-scale business incubation and grass-roots research. And because all Fab Labs share core capabilities so that people and projects can be shared across them, collaboration among users is an essential aspect of the overall program. Once people are trained, they can begin training others.

Haystack's 2012 Fab Lab training for community members--teachers and students from Deer Isle/Stonington and the Blue Hill Peninsula--was supported by a grant from an anonymous foundation, the Maine Arts Commission's Innovative Production program, the Stephen & Tabitha King Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, and Haystack's Program Endowment Fund.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday that the "biggest regret" from her time as the nation's top diplomat was the 2012 attack on Americans in Benghazi.
During a question-and-answer session at a meeting of the National Automobile Dealers Association, Clinton called the loss of four Americans in the attacks "a terrible tragedy" and a "great personal loss," NBC News reported.
Clinton did not address criticism by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who wrote in a new memoir that Clinton opposed the troop surge in Iraq for political reasons. But she did appear to defend President Barack Obama, whose administration Gates paints as micromanaging and overly concerned with domestic politics.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton talks about the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, while speaking Monday in New Orleans, La.
"I think the real takeaway from Bob's book … is that he ended up admiring both President Bush and President Obama," she said, saying that both presidents had different styles but admirable conviction in their decision-making.
The possible presidential contender continued to say that she is "not thinking about" her plans for 2016.
"I have to say, I don't know," she said when asked about her political future. "Not a very satisfactory answer, I know."
"I'm not thinking about it," she said. "I am trying to get other people not to think about it. I will think about it in the future sometime, but right now let's think about what we have to do to continue building on our success.
One title that she is looking forward to, however, is one far removed from the Oval Office.
"I really can't wait, to be honest," she said of the possibility of becoming a grandmother. "But that's not my decision."
In her remarks to the auto dealers group, Clinton waxed eloquent about her own family's love of cars, but conceded that she hasn't been behind the wheel since she was first lady.
"The last time I actually drove a car myself was 1996, and I remember it very well," she said. "Unfortunately, so does Secret Service, which is why I haven't driven since then."

Nearly everyone has an opinion on the controversy surrounding Phil Robertson and his statements in GQ magazine. The millionaire businessman and "Duck Dynasty" star condemned homosexuality, based on his Christian beliefs.
"They asked his opinion, and he gave it to them," said Colby Griffin of Baxley. "He was just speaking his mind. Even on the show, he speaks his mind."
"Anybody who knows anything about the Robertsons knows how strongly they believe in the Bible, they should not be surprised by what he said," added Lyn Peacock of Statesboro.
"It was just his opinion. He didn't say anything wrong. He also came back and said he loves all of humanity because God created everyone. He just said their lifestyle was not for him," noted Christy Monk of Twin City."
A&E Network, which carries "Duck Dynasty", suspended Robertson from the show in response to outcries from gay advocacy groups.
Robertson's suspension set off a cyber firestorm. Dozens of Facebook pages call for boycotts of the network.
"I'm right there with them. If they don't bring him back, I'm not watching the show because he's part of the show," Griffin said.
However, the show may not continue. In a statement Friday, Robertson's family said they can't imagine continuing the show without his presence. They announced they are in discussion with A&E about the future of the show.
"I think they'll move on, because they don't need the money," Peacock added.

A Beautiful Mind Reviews
Total Film
Crowe is convincingly skittish and bounces enjoyably off Paul Bettany, while Jennifer Connelly earns her Oscar in the would-be thankless role of suffering wife. But this is as dishonest as Hollywood biography gets.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Wall Street Journal
It isn't the device that's so crude, but the execution, which turns Nash's persecutory demons into nuisances that won't leave us alone.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Darned if Howard doesn't make [Nash] as neat and warm as a tea cozy.
Combustible Celluloid
This is a precision story as told by filmmakers who are shooting at the side of a barn with water balloons filled with syrup.
Flick Filosopher
The script gets us so inside Nash's head that it makes us a party to his illness and the paranoia that it spawns... but Howard doesn't know how to show us this without, ultimately, making us feel cheated and jerked around.
Matinee Magazine
Howard softens the hard edge of real schizophrenia with movie gloss as cotton candy, shaping the troubled history of mathematical genius John Forbes Nash, Jr. into feel good escapism.
Full Review | Original Score: D
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Ron Howard trashes the true story of the mentally troubled Nobel Prize-winning mathematician genius John Forbes Nash Jr. ...
Full Review | Original Score: C+
Pedantic and sophistic.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
As John Nash, Russell Crowe projects the 'warts-and-all' persona of a genius trying to conquer mental illness. But I can't help reacting negatively to most biopics. I never know what's real and what's made-up -- kinda like Nash himself.
Washington Post
One of those formulaically rendered Important Subject movies.
Toronto Star
Since love conquers all, you know everything will turn out okay. It's practically a mathematical formula.
Detroit Free Press
Tells us little about paranoid schizophrenia, less about genius, and next to nothing about Nash.
San Jose Mercury News
You can practically feel director Ron Howard standing over your tear ducts, straining to extract every last salty drop.
Old School Reviews
Howard's sappy movie covers some of the material, but is far more concerned with box office and Oscar glory.
Full Review | Original Score: C-
Looking Closer
It presents itself as a biography of the flesh-and-blood John Nash. And in fact, it is really only a flashy, sentimental Hollywood movie, inspired by a few particular details of the John Nash story.
Full Review | Original Score: C
Cinema Sight
A pedestrian film with a rudimentary script that forces the actors to create believability where there might otherwise be none.
| Original Score: 2/4
A tedious exercise in manipulation that once again proves Hollywood is short of vision.
Film Blather
Neither aesthetically pleasing ... nor intelligent.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
Slant Magazine
A Beautiful Mind is like a brick to the head to anyone who ever winced at the utterance of "infinity plus one."
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4
A frequently disappointing cut-and-paste job...it fails to find any sort of smooth rhythm or dramatic arc.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

PopTech Fellows Programs
PopTech's two Fellows programs help accelerate the positive impact of world-changing people, projects and ideas:
Social Innovation Fellows Program
Around the world, visionary change agents are hard at work incubating new approaches to the planet's toughest challenges. Yet they're often doing so without taking advantage of the latest tools and thinking in technology, communications and innovation – or a network of experts, peers, and supporters who can help them truly change the world. The PopTech Social Innovation Fellows Program is designed to help fill that gap…
Science Fellows Program
At a time when our nation and our planet face unprecedented challenges, the sciences have a more important role to play in society than ever before. Yet today surprisingly few working scientists and researchers become visible, actively engaged public leaders. The PopTech Science Fellows Program aims to address these issues by developing a corps of highly visible and socially engaged scientific leaders…
Bellagio/PopTech Fellows
The Bellagio/PopTech Fellows brings together a small, interdisciplinary group of four to six hand-selected artists, scientists, designers, technologists and social innovators at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Italy for a two-week immersion residency. The program is a unique incubator for unconventional, cross-disciplinary collaboration and also serves as a laboratory for the study of the nature of collaboration itself as a tool for creative problem-solving.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Just totally "COOL" by Relaxed in Texas on 04/08/2012. Trim: 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited Auto PZEV, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Comfortable, styish, super handling and performance, affordable.......... What more can you ask for? Great job Hyundia, keep up the good work
Cons: The only negitives that I can come up with would be: 1) The passenger seat is to low (except for sleeping in while traveling) and 2) an optional memory for the drivers power seat and mirrors so my wife and I don't have to readjust every driver change
Overall review: I am a delivery driver and I am in the drivers seat almost 10 hours a day 5 days every week, and when I have a rough day, get stressed and need to relax, all I need to do is get into my Sonata 2.0T and drive. Yup, you heard me Drive! This car handles so well and is so comfortable, that it will totally relax me when driving. After about 20 to 30 miles I feel refreshed and ready to enjoy life. This is the first vehicle that I have ever owned that I can say that, and I have owned quite a few. We have had our Sonata for 8 months and 12,000 miles now, and we are as happy with it now as we were when we bought it. The dealer we bought it from has been fantastic, we could not have had a better experience in purchasing a vehicle and their service has been outstanding. We would definitely recommend Hyundia

Tonight was so epic. The way Tyson moved his hips and sang…I melted. It was an amazing concert. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to get off this high. This was one of the best nights of my life. It was all about the music. Now I want to stay up and write music.

ProQuest/UMI Dissertation Publishing Options
Answers to questions not available on this page might be found in the ProQuest online Support Center.
For further details, consults these Guides [PDF] from ProQuest on publishing your dissertation.
Traditional Publishing (TR) versus Open Access (OA)
What is Traditional Publishing?
Traditional publishing at UMI® corresponds with the model that generated the publishing industry as soon as mass-reproduction of printed material was possible. That is, the owner of intellectual property and author of the work contracts with the publisher to reproduce, distribute, and sell copies of the work. The publisher pays the author a certain portion of the revenue thus generated. That is why we also refer to our Traditional Publishing model as the 'copy sales and royalty payments' model. It's been our business model since 1938, and we've paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties to the authors of dissertations and theses over the decades. Traditional Publishing access fee is $65.
What is Open Access?
The now-common usage of the term 'open access' means freely available for viewing or downloading by anyone with access to the internet. Sometimes a distinction is made for 'limited open access' meaning that material is available free of charge to a limited group of authorized users. Our usage of 'open access' means the former; that is, dissertations and theses published for Open Access with ProQuest/UMI will be available at no charge for viewing or downloading by anyone with access to the internet, indefinitely. Open Access publishing fee is $160.
How do you choose between Traditional Publishing and Open Access?
- Check into any restrictions imposed by a funding source.
- Check if you have a patent pending, or there is patentable work in your dissertation.
- See Embargoes and Restrictions to ensure protections of patentable rights.
- Check with advisor, committee chair, trusted mentor in your field.
- Consider your own value system and professional goals. Do you believe that society will benefit from your research?
|Recommended Action
|Choose Traditional Publishing
|Place an embargo of 6- months, 1 year, or 2 years
|Do NOT choose third-party distribution
|Restrict from Google/search engines and harvesters
|See your institution's technology transfer or research officer. Consult with your advisor and graduate dean.
|Likely submission to a peer-reviewed journal
|Interested/potential interest by an academic or commercial press
|Ethical need to prevent disclosure
|Patentable rights in the work/ other commercial potential
Reprinted from Guide 4, Open Access versus Traditional Publishing PQ/UMI® GradWorks Guide F2006
Publishing Embargoes
What is an embargo and why would I want to place one on my paper?
An embargo is a hold placed on the release of your dissertation. You may request we wait to release your document for a period of time. Some reasons for requesting an embargo might be:
- you are publishing your dissertation in a journal that prefers to publish your document first
- you have a patent pending on an idea presented in your dissertation
- you have mentioned sensitive materials and/or names which cannot be released at the time of publication
Reprinted from the ProQuest Support Center.
Copyright Registration
Do I have to copyright my work?
No, you do not have to copyright your work unless your school requires you to do so. However, in order to file a suit for infringement you will need to have your copyright registered. ProQuest provides copyright preparation services at a cost of $65.00 per document. This is available at the time of submission only. Once ProQuest begins to process your dissertation they can no longer file on your behalf, you will need to contact the Library of Congress to file at 202-707-6787 or http://www.copyright.gov/help/general-form.html
For further details on copyright concerns, see Guide 5 and Guide 6 from ProQuest.
Reprinted from the ProQuest Support Center.
Search Engine Indexing
What graduate works are indexed and searched by Google?
Right now, Google and Google Scholar are indexing dissertations and theses published in 2005 and forward. However, Canadian graduate works are not included, nor are any that are embargoed or restricted at an author's request. Though embargoed dissertations are not submitted for indexing, Google may locate bibliographic information for these documents from other sources.

Essie LuxeEffects is a gorgeous collection of five shimmer, glitter and flakies top coats. I can't remember the last time a brand came out with an entire collection of top coats, so this was really fun to review. I swatched one coat of each LuxeEffects over a neutral nude polish to showcase the difference between each topper.
Sand Tropez (not included in the collection) is a beautiful khaki tan creme polish from Essie's Spring 2011 A French Affair collection. I used this as the base color for each LuxeEffect. This is two coats.
Pure Pearlfection is a gorgeous white silver micro-shimmer. I love that it is so packed full of shimmer and looks like it was actually built into my polish, transforming the look of any color. It makes my Sand Tropez base coat look like shimmering beach sand.
As Gold As It Gets is a gold flakies and micro-shimmer top coat. For some reason (ever since I reviewed Chanel's Morning Rose), I have been crazy-craze about any polish that includes a hint of gold shimmer, and now I can easily add that gold glow to any polish in my collection with this top coat (see it over pastel blue below).
Shine Of The Times is an iridescent holographic flakies top coat that looks completely different over any base color and in any light. Over a light nude, the flakies look pearly pink and blue, but over a dark polish (see it over black creme below), the flakies look coppery red in direct light and have a bright lime green glow in indirect lighting.
A Cut Above is a pink sequin and glitter top coat. There are other pink sequin top coats out there, but this one has way more GPS (glitter per stroke, I just made that up lol) and the clear coat is not thick at all, allowing your to add more coats if you'd like. A lot of sequin top coats have very little GPS and you have to place each piece of glitter with the top of your brush to get the desired effect. This is even more difficult if the clear coat is thick and goopey, which this polish is not.
Set In Stones is exactly like A Cut Above, but in silver. It also has a lot of sequin GPS and the clear coat is thin and easy to apply.
How I Wore Essie LuxeEffects
This week, I've already tried a couple of variations of LuxeEffects to get an idea of how they transform over different base colors. For a daytime look, I used As Gold As It Gets over China Glaze Sea Spray and for a nighttime look, I layered Shine Of The Times over China Glaze Liquid Leather.
My Thoughts On Essie LuxeEffects
Please note again that I only used one coat of each topper, which goes to show just how much LuxeEffect is packed into each stoke. Each top coat could be applied thick, but was easy to thin out with a couple of strokes and the entire collection was extremely easy to apply!
When I first saw this collection online, I was only interested in Shine of the Times and As Gold As It Gets, but Pure Pearlfection immediately became one of my must haves. See any toppers in this collection that you'd like to try?

Thanks so much for the swatches. I've already bought Pure Pearlfection and Set in Stones and can't wait to try them on now that I've seen how gorgeous they are on. I may have to snag the rest of the collection while I can ;p
I already have A Cut Above & Shine of the Times. But now, after seeing your "Shimmering Sand", it looks like you twisted my arm & i'll jut HAVE to get Pure Pearlfection too :)I absolutely LOVE Shine if the Times over black.
I'm loving Shine of the Times! and GPS? – that's AWESOME.
So pretty! I really want to get A Cut Above for starters! I think I have Sand Tropez too…
I love them all! LOVE them! Thank you for showing them all so well! :)
the GPS Is amazing. There's an NYC that's a fairly similar dupe but it has a few colors in it (purple and blue). LOVE the all silver one, and agree with you… the pearl is much prettier than anticipated.
LOVE the looks you created with the Essie LuxEffects! I just happened to buy Set In Stones the other day and now can't wait to try it out. Thanks!
Ooh la la! I love all of these! Shine of the times reminds me of the Nails, Inc. Wyndham Collection topcoat…but cheaper! awesome!
[...] out my review of the entire Essie LuxeEffects line of topcoats, including Essie Set in Stones used in this mani. Tweet Pin [...]
I love the colors, but am surprised the gold doesn't show up more. Maybe just adding extra coats? If you do anymore manicures, please feel free to share with us at http://www.taaz.com!
Hey this looks great! I clicked on the link for sand tropez and it came up as $0.99
Is that legit?! I'm afraid I'd be buying a knock off at that price…
How'd I miss this one, I love these, looks like I'm going shopping!
The layer with Essie LuxeEffects Pure Pearlfection is so pretty.
I love all of these! I think i will get the gold one first!
I love, love Essie nail polish! The colors are so vibrant. They're a little pricey for me (like $8 a bottle I believe) but so worth it. Lasts forever!
I always opt for matte nail polishes, hated the glittery or shiny ones. but when i stumbled upon your review, i loved a cut above and ran out to buy it the next day. looks great with OPI's lincoln park after dark – it's the grown up version of glitter, very classy! thank you!
amazing.. i wona wear all of them

Solaray Extra Hot Cool Cayenne
Solaray Extra Hot Cool Cayenne formula contains 100,000 heat-unit cayenne that has completed the unique and proprietary Bio-Cool process. This process keeps the cayenne in its natural, spicy hot form, but now, it won't burn your stomach. Solaray has accomplished this by specially processing 100,000 heat-unitcayenne with 100% natural ingredients including ginger root, modified guar gum, vegetable fiber, and annatto. Originally from South America, the cayenne plant is now used worldwide as a food and spice. Cayenne is very closely related to bell peppers, jalapeños, paprika, and other similar peppers. The fruit is used medicinally.
Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies)The potent, hot fruit of cayenne has been used as medicine for centuries. It was considered helpful by herbalists for various conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, including stomach aches, cramping pains, and gas. Cayenne was frequently used to treat diseases of the circulatory system. It is still traditionally used in herbal medicine as a circulatory tonic (a substance believed to improve circulation). Rubbed on the skin, cayenne is a traditional, as well as modern, remedy for rheumatic pains and arthritis due to what is termed a counterirritant effect. A counterirritant is something that causes irritation to a tissue to which it is applied, thus distracting from the original irritation (such as joint pain in the case of arthritis).

Do you know exactly what type of hickory this bat is made of?
The M^Powered American Hickory Wood Bat: AH001 Cherry Adult is made from American Hickory grown in the Eastern USA.
Would this bat or the M^Powered Sugar Maple Baseball Bat: SM004 Natural/Cherry Adult have a more balanced feel?
The M^Powered American Hickory Wood Bat: AH001 Cherry Adult would probably feel slightly more balanced than the SM004. Although, both will actually be slightly end loaded models.
Is this bat a good option for a power hitter?
This M^Powered American Hickory Wood Bat: AH001 Cherry Adult bat has a 2 1/2" barrel diameter and 15/16" handle diameter, so it will have a balanced swing weight. Power hitters often prefer the end loaded feel of a 243 turn model, but if you're looking for maximum bat speed, this would be a great option.
Product Description
American Hickory wood is very hard, very stiff, very dense and very shock resistant. As stated in the U.S. Forestry Service pamphlet on "Important Trees of Eastern Forests," "there are some woods that are stronger than hickory and some that are harder, but the combination of strength, toughness, hardness, and stiffness found in hickory wood is not found in any other commercial wood." M^Powered is the only pro bat company that is turning pro grade Hickory. Once used in the dead ball era; M^POWERED BASEBALL HAS BROUGHT THIS PREMIUM WOOD BACK TO THE MARKET. The dead-ball era is a baseball term used to describe the period between 1900 and the emergence of Babe Ruth as a power hitter in 1919. In 1919, Ruth hit a then-league record 29 home runs, a spectacular feat at that time. The baseball was literally and figurtively DEAD in this era. Wood bat companies were hard pressed to find a wood that could drive this dead ball. That wood was HICKORY. In today's environment, Hickory will drive the ball further. Find out for yourself. Beacuse of the weight of this phenomenal wood, only tapered models are available. The M^Powered bats look like art, but are made to perform. Their bats are stylish, look the best of any professional bat available, and are made for high performance. Your bat is pampered from the harvesting process through the finishing process. It takes about 4 hours to complete the process. Every bat M^Powered makes must pass a 10 point quality check before it is sent to you. M^Power your game with fine bats. Use it with confidence.
