Ahlin: Our own Mary Contrary gives up on TV's Dr. Oz
With rain and high winds forecasted, I decided to get groceries before the storm hit. Seeing dark clouds rolling in, I focused on finding a parking space as close to the grocery store door as possible. Unfortunately, concentrating the way I was, I didn't spot Mary Contrary until it was too late to avoid her.

The City of Lewisburg intends to seek financial assistance from USDA Rural Development to assist in the renovation and expansion of the Rock Creek Park. Local officials are conducting a public meeting to discuss this project and receive community input. The meeting will be held April 14, 2015 5:30 p.m. at the council room of the Lewisburg City Hall, 131 East Church Street, Lewisburg, Tennessee.
The public is invited to attend this meeting and make comments concerning this project to local officials as to the economic, safety, and environmental impacts; service area; and other alternatives. The City of Lewisburg does not discriminate. Special accommodations may be provided to persons with disabilities by contacting the City Manager's office at the (931) 359-1544.Jim Bingham
On March 24th, 2015 a female complainant came to the lobby of the Lewisburg Police Department and reported a case of child abuse. The complainant provided a picture of a child chained to a bed and another of a length of chain and lock attached to a bed frame. Officers used this information to go to 527 Jackson Avenue, Lot #3 to conduct a welfare check.
Officer Mike Davis and Corporal Tracy Teal immediately drove to the residence on Jackson Avenue and made contact with Andrew Roberson, age 25, who resided at the residence. Roberson allowed officers inside to check the welfare of his children, two boys ages four and five. Inside the residence officers saw chains attached to two twin beds in what they believed to be a children's bedroom. Officers notified Detective Sergeant David Henley of the situation. At the request of Detective Henley, officers secured the scene and asked Roberson to bring the boys to the police department for further investigation. The mother of the children, Evelyn Stevens, age 21, did reside at the residence but was not present at the time officers conducted the welfare check. She was located and asked to come to the police department for questioning also.
Detective Sergeant Henley responded to the police department and interviewed Roberson and Stevens separately. Detective Henley also obtained and later executed a search warrant at the residence on Jackson Avenue. Inside he did locate evidence of abuse.
An investigator from the Department of Children's Services did respond and begin an investigation. The couple's four children were immediately removed from the home and placed into DCS custody.
As a result of this initial investigation Detective Henley charged Roberson and Stevens each with one count of Child Abuse and Neglect and in the early morning hours of March 25, 2015 Evelyn Stevens and Andrew Roberson were booked into the Marshall County Jail. Bond on this single charge was set at $7500 each. Additional felony charges are expected pending the results of medical examinations and further investigation.
Lewisburg Police Detectives asks that anyone with information that may be related to this or any other crime to please contact the Lewisburg Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at (931) 359-3800 or Crime Stoppers at (931) 359-4867.
On March 27th, 2015, as a result of the continued investigation Stevens and Roberson were arrested and each was charged with one additional count of felony Child Abuse and two counts of False Imprisonment. Bond on these charges is $20,000 each. Court is set for April 21st, 2015 in the General Sessions Court of Marshall County.
Lewisburg Police Detectives asks that anyone with information that may be related to this or any other crime to please contact the Lewisburg Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at (931) 359-3800 or Crime Stoppers at (931) 359-4867.
Popular Course Returns SPRING HILL, Tenn. — The onset of spring sends farmers and gardeners to the field with hopes of a bountiful summer harvest. Those who end up with excess produce or who want to find a use for less-than-best-quality produce often look for ways to transform the produce into profits. To help fruit and vegetable producers interested in starting their own food processing enterprises, UT Extension is offering Pennsylvania State Extension's popular food processing education program to Tennessee producers. This is the third time that the course has been offered in Tennessee. The workshop will be offered in four locations across the state this spring. Food for Profit will be held April 20 in Greeneville, April 21 in Knoxville, May 4 in Lebanon and May 5 in Bolivar. There is a registration fee of $30 per person. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required by five business days prior to each workshop. Workshops are limited to 25 participants per location. Workshops not having an adequate number of participants by the early registration deadline may be cancelled. Sessions will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. local time. Lunch will be provided. This workshop qualifies as one course toward the educational requirements to receive a 50 percent Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) cost share for only the Fruits and Vegetables and Value-Added Diversification sectors. These workshops are funded, in part, through the United States Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Block Grant and administered by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. For more information about these workshops or to register online, visit the Center for Profitable Agriculture website and click on "Educational Events."

Nashville – The recent winter storms were hard on Tennessee's landscape. Heavy ice brought down limbs and trees across the state. Brush pile burning is one of the best ways for landowners to clean up woody debris from the storms. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry is reminding citizens that outdoor burning requires a permit through May 15.
If you are burning a leaf or brush pile that is smaller than 8 feet by 8 feet in size, log on to www.burnsafetn.org to secure a permit.
For a larger burn, apply for a permit by calling your local Division of Forestry burn permit phone number Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Phone numbers can be found by visiting www.burnsafetn.org. Burn permits are free. Residents should check with their city and county government for any local restrictions.
Once you have obtained a burn permit, remember these tips:
In 2014, debris fires that got out of control were the leading cause of wildfires in Tennessee, burning 5,366 acres statewide.
Burning debris without a permit is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine and jail time.
Arson was the second leading cause of wildfires last year but accounted for the most acreage damaged, with 7,800 acres burned. Wildland arson is a class C felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Anyone with information about suspected arson activity should call the state Fire Marshal's Arson Hotline toll-free at 1-800-762-3017.
Obtaining a Burning Permit by Phone
Permits are free of charge and may be obtained by calling the phone number listed below for the county in which the burning will be done. Burning permits are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except on holidays. Permits may be obtained in advance for weekends and holidays.
The number to call in Marshall, Bedford, and Maury Counties is (877) 350-BURN (2876)
NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Department of Agriculture will soon accept applications for the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. These federal funds are granted to enhance production and competitiveness of specialty crops, including fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, tree nuts, floriculture and other nursery crops. The grants are authorized through the federal Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 and are administered by TDA.
Applications will only be accepted online beginning April 15. You will find a template and additional information at www.tn.gov/agriculture/marketing/scbg.shtml. The deadline to apply is May 8. Universities, institutions, cooperatives, producers, and industry or community-based organizations may submit a proposal for funding. The program aims to support projects that directly impact multiple Tennessee producers and will have a positive, long-lasting impact on Tennessee agriculture. All recipients must be recognized by the IRS.
Proposals are reviewed and ranked according to criteria provided on the website. Applicants will be notified by June 12 whether TDA intends to present their projects to the USDA. First-time recipients have a funding limit of $25,000.
If you would like help planning your project, TDA is hosting a workshop April 14 at Ellington Agricultural Center. The workshop runs from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. CDT in the Ed Jones Auditorium. There is no charge to participate and lunch will be provided. Registration is required. Email

NASHVILLE – If you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety? According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of American households estimated that it would take at least six minutes before a fire in their home would become life-threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often much less.
The Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office is urging Tennesseans to create a home fire escape plan similar to the one featured in this public service announcement developed by the Oak Ridge Fire Department.
The State Fire Marshal's Office also offers the following tips for making your own home fire escape plan:
Plan Your Escape
• Draw a floor-plan of your home, marking two ways out of every room.
• Agree on an outside meeting place (something permanent, like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should gather in an emergency.
• Practice your home fire drill at night and during the day with everyone in your home, twice a year. Practice using different ways out.
Be Prepared
• Install smoke alarms inside and outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home.
• Test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. Replace your smoke alarms every 10 years.
• Ensure everyone in the household knows the sound of the smoke alarm and what it signifies.
• Ensure everyone in the household can unlock and open all doors and windows, even in the dark.
• If a room has a window air conditioner, make sure there is still a second way out of the room. Windows with security bars, grills, and window guards should have emergency release devices. Make sure you can operate these.
• Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Make sure that someone will help them.
• Teach your children how to escape on their own in case you cannot help them.
Get Out
• If the smoke alarm sounds or fire is discovered in your home, get out fast.
• Doors need to be tested before opening them. Use the back of your hand to see if the door is warm. If it is, use another escape route.
• If you have to escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your way out.
• If you are trapped, close all doors between you and the fire. Stuff the cracks around the doors with clothes or towels to keep out smoke. Call the fire department, wait at a window and signal for help with a light-colored cloth or a flashlight.
Stay Out
• Once you are out, stay out. Don't go back inside for any reason.
• Call the fire department from your safe meeting place.
• If people or pets are trapped, notify the fire department and let them handle the rescue efforts.

NASHVILLE – Today, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released to the public its 2014 'Crime on Campus' report. The annual study compiles information submitted to TBI by the state's colleges and universities through the Tennessee Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS).
Among the report's findings:
As always, the TBI strongly discourages the comparison of one institution's statistics to another. The factors impacting crime vary from community to community and rudimentary comparisons will most likely result in inaccurate and generalized conclusions of the relative safety of one campus over another.
The full 2014 'Crime on Campus' report, along with similar studies dating back to 2001, is available online for review at http://www.tbi.tn.gov/tn_crime_stats/stats_analys.shtml.
NASHVILLE – Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance (TDCI) Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak warns Tennessee residents to avoid falling prey to scammers and phony tax preparers ahead of the April 15 Tax Day deadline.
"Scammers and fraudulent tax preparers use the rush of tax season to prey on people by using fraudulent practices designed to steal money and personal information," McPeak said. "Tennesseans should be vigilant in protecting their personal information during this time of the year by educating themselves before hiring someone to prepare their taxes."
Unfortunately, when a fraudulent tax return is discovered, it's the taxpayer, not the return preparer, who pays any additional taxes and interest and who may be subject to penalties. The best protection for taxpayers is a simple one: Do your homework.
To help taxpayers, TDCI's Division of Consumer Affairs is sharing a checklist of questions and resources that taxpayers should consult before hiring a tax preparer.
Be alert to phone scams. Scams come in all shapes and sizes, but one frequent tax season scam involves consumers being targeted by callers claiming to be Internal Revenue Service agents and demanding payment. If consumers refuse to pay, they are threatened with arrest, among other tactics. Remember: The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first mailing a bill.
Check them out. Tax returns can be created by anyone with a Preparer Tax Identification Number. Before hiring someone to prepare your taxes, check your tax preparer's credentials by using either TDCI's One Stop license verification database or the Internal Revenue Service's Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers to check if your tax preparer has the training and proper licensure. Only attorneys, certified public accountants (CPAs) and enrolled agents can represent taxpayers for audits, collections and appeals. Ask to see if your tax preparer is a member of a professional organization.
No fees, please. Avoid preparers who base their fees on a percentage of the amount of the refund. Be careful of using tax preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. Always make sure any refund due is sent to you or deposited into an account in your name. Under no circumstances should all or part of your refund be directly deposited into a tax preparer's bank account.
Never sign a blank form.Whether you file tax returns electronically or by paper, never sign a blank tax return. Before signing your return, always review it with your tax preparer and ask questions. Make sure the return is accurate before you sign it.
Paperwork and questions. Good preparers will ask for your receipts and ask you multiple questions in order to determine if you qualify for expenses, deductions and other items. By asking you questions, a good tax preparer is trying to help you avoid penalties, interest or additional taxes.

Airbrushing Controversy Surrounds Gabourey Sidibe Elle Cover
Elle magazine is denying accusations that it digitally lightened the skin of Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe, who is appearing on one of the October issue's four celebrity covers.
The controversy is the second magazine swirl Sidibe's name has been tied to in 2010. It was back in February that there was an outcry that the actress, at the time reveling in the Oscar buzz around 'Precious, had been left off of Vanity Fair's Hollywood cover in what some called 'The White Issue.
The Telegraph reports that the fashion magazine -- which last month featured Julia Roberts on its front -- is also being criticized for showing slim October cover girls Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, and Lauren Conrad in full-length poses, while the plus-size Sidibe is only seen from the chest up, according to the paper.
The 'Precious' actress appears on the cover in a draped emerald green gown and rocking long, straight locks, though her glowing skin does seem to be a few shades lighter than normal (See the photos above).
So is the lighter skin a result of her makeup or the lighting used on set? Or did somebody get too eager with the Photoshop?
Elle reportedly claims "nothing out of the ordinary" was done.
"We have four separate covers this month, and Gabby's cover was not retouched any more or less than the others," the 25-year-old magazine said in an official statement.
"We had 25 cover-worthy subjects in our portfolio and we chose Gabby because of who she is.
"We shot this as a story of exuberant young women changing the world. If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons."
Hmmm... "more or less than the others"? Sounds fishy.
It's not the first time accusations of skin lightening have been made. In 2008, L'Oréal received complaints that it had allegedly lightened Beyoncé's skin in a Feria ad.

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp.

This is nothing new. Maybe someday there will be a magazine that shows people, celebrities or "regular folk" as we really are... with all our own unique differences, sizes, shapes, colors and features. They changed this poor woman's skin color for crying out loud, telling her and the rest of the world she is "too black" to show her in her natural way. This is disgusting. This is why our country has such an issue with people having problems about their image. We are basically told we have to (or should) look a certain way. Sad.

Sure, if you want health care costs to continue to go up do to obesity, such as diabetes and heart disease. Don't think taxpayers like to be paying for this. Glad I don't live in America. Nobody should accept this body type, it's unhealthy and gross. Nothing wrong with a few pounds overweight but this chick is an elephant.

Are they for real? This is not even an issue. First of all, I think the writers of this story are disingenuous in their intent, which I have suspicion of but refuse to articulate for their pleasure. Secondly, I am as dark as she is, and I have many pictures where I appear lighter than I really am, with no special lighting or makeup. I think it is a flattering photo of her and there won't be any confusion of her etnicity. Move on to a REAL story!
- Thursday 16 September
You go, Gerald! I couldn't have said it better! These clowns seem to have considerably more issues with Gabby's looks than she does. Putting Gabby on the front cover says that Elle is at least trying to broaden its appeal. For doing so, I applaud their efforts. It's time for Popeater to leave her alone and move on to something truly news worthy. Everyone who appears in any fashionable print publication is "air brushed" including Caucasians.

From my observations most people are plain, with non-athletic bodies. I thank God for barber shops, beauty salons, gyms, and make-up because humans need that. That is why we wear fake this and that, and get botox and plastic surgery,and weight-loss products. So chances are you too are hard to look at, the only difference is that this young lady made the front page. Congrats Gabourey.

An XHR Cross Origin Proxy allows you to make XHR requests to different friendly API services.
A YuzuJS production
XCOP (XHR Cross Origin Proxy) allows you to make XHR requests to different friendly API services.
I'm sure that you've faced this delema... You web application needs to "phone home" via XMLHttpRequest call back to your site to get some information. You'd like these XHR calls to use HTTPS (maybe they contain some PII). The problem is that you've served the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images from an HTTP server and that would constitute a cross origin call. Historicly, you were left with few options:
- Serve the site from the same origin as the web services, which may mean unnecessarily serving HTTPS images and CSS. ex: https://api.example.com (Boo, hiss)
- Use CORS. But this limits you to GET and POST and does not allow you to set headers.
- Use a reverse proxy server on the domain that served your html file. This can be, in some cases, dificult to setup, and is slower than hitting the destination server directly. Plus it leaves the information in the clear on the first leg of it's journey (i.e. not HTTPS).
Enter XCOP!
With XCOP you can effectively make cross origin XHR requests with full verbs (not only GET and POST but also PUT, DELETE, PATCH, etc). You can also set HTTP headers to your heart's content. Simply place a simple HTML file on the friendly cross origin server (yes, you need access to the server). Under the covers, XCOP package will load this into an iframe and communicate with it via PostMessage. You will need a fairly modern browser.
Install it
$ npm install xcop
XCOP us easy to use. Just call xcop with the origin that you would like to communicate with (xcop.html must be in the root of the cross origin server). XCOP will return a Q promise that is fulfilled with an XHR object.
The XHR object accepts a request object that consists of the following:
- url - the url that you would like to hit, relative to the origin.
- headers - an object with key/value pairs.
- method - the HTTP method (default = "GET").
- body - a string containing optional data sent in a POST or PUT.
It returns a promise that is fulfilled with a response object. The response object contains the following:
- status - the HTTP status reponse (ex: 200 for "OK")
- body - the body of the response
- headers - a response header object with key/value pairs.
Let's say that you have a web page that is loaded from http://www.example.com, but you need to post some data to https://api.example.com (i.e. not on the same origin). The code below will show you how to do so.
var xcop = require"xcop"; var origin = "https://api.example.com";xcoporigindone var request = url: "/items/123" headers: "content-type": "application/json" method: "PUT" body: JSONstringifyid: 123 name: "new name" ; xhrrequestdone console.logresponsestatus + " " + responsebody; console.error"Something went wrong." errmessage; ; console.errorerrmessage;;
Live Demo
You can also see XCOP in action, live, on the Interwebs! Check out this fiddle. http://jsfiddle.net/donavon/6tozto6v/
Origin White Listing
Instead of opening your web service up to other websites, you may now "white list" which origins are allowed to access your server.
To do so, edit the
xcop.html file served by the destination server. By default, XCOP allows access from any origin.
var whiteList = ;
To setup a whitelist, replace the
whiteList array with the list of your allows origins.
In our example above, you may chose to only allow http://www.example.com to use your api.
If so, your
xcop.html file will read:
var whiteList = "http://www.example.com";
You may choose to use different
xcop.html files with different white lists for development, QA, and production.
Q. I'm getting the error "XCOP is unavailable".
A. You likely have not setup xcop.html in the root of the origin server that you are hitting with XCOP. In the example above, that would be https://api.example.com/xcop.html
Q. How cool is XCOP?
A. Very!

Montgomery County's next operating budget will have more program money than in recent years, but don't look for spending to return to pre-recession levels, said County Executive Isiah Leggett.
Leggett (D) told The Gazette on Thursday that there's a "pent-up demand" for bringing back funding that was eliminated through drastic cuts during the recession. But the increases likely won't be as much as some people would like to see, he said.
Leggett is scheduled to release the county's fiscal year 2015 operating budget at noon on Monday.
The new budget will have a small spending increase from the $4.8 billion fiscal 2014 budget, he said.
He said he and his staff were still working on determining revenue for the budget.
In a series of forums around the county in January, Leggett cautioned residents that the county's financial position was strong coming out of the recession, but he wouldn't rush to return to pre-recession spending levels.
He repeated the message Thursday, saying that people tend to remember the challenges the county faced during the recession. As the financial picture improves, people assume that spending caps will be removed, he said.
Instead, the county will address issues by spending money more efficiently.
The budget will continue to fund essentials such as roads, schools and public safety, but also provide money for projects to help the county expand, he said.
Any budget is a balancing act, Leggett said. You can put so much money into the future that you don't take care of the present, and vice versa.
Councilwoman Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring said one benefit of the recession was that the county got to examine the way it delivers services and programs and make them fit better to its policy goals.
It's not necessarily about adding more money, but putting money into places where it can be most effective, she said.
She listed providing services for needy families and helping schools address poverty issues among students as two areas some budget money could be restored.
Navarro said she's also interested in what Leggett will do regarding maintenance of effort for the county school system and funding contracts for county employees.
Maintenance of effort is a legal requirement that counties not cut school funding from one year to the next.
It's also time for the county to get serious about workforce development through funding for county schools, Montgomery College and The Universities at Shady Grove, Navarro said.

One of the first machine tools, the bow lathe has been dated back to about 1200 BC. These bow lathe machine were hand-made and till the end of 17th century this machine was used to turn softer material. Also the reciprocating motion gave way to treadle power where the rotation was possible continuously in one direction.
Hence option (E) All of the above is the correct answer as it includes all the points namely:
1. Could only turn softer materials.
2. Has been dated back to about 1200 B.C.

Don't take it for granted that the mother knows you are the father. Protect your rights.
Are you a father?
Whether married or unmarried to the mother, your first question should be, "Am I the natural father of this child?"Even if you enjoy a very close relationship with the mother, it is natural to wonder. Sometimes even the mothers do not know who the father is. Before custody disputes arise, you can look for clues as to your paternity. Inherited genetic traits can help. Also, there are mail in paternity tests, but, to avoid conflict with the mother, you will want to do this all on the sly.If you are the father and you are married to the mother, congratulations. You will be deemed to be a joint physical and legal custodian of the child. If you are married, but not the father, keep reading.If you are not married, but you are the father, keep reading.
Married, but not the real daddy, what to do...
If you are married, and not the father, consider consulting a divorce attorney immediately. If you do not deny your paternity within a reasonable time period, you may be deemed the legal custodian even though you are not genetically related.If you hold yourself out to be the father, even though you have been duped by your wife (wittingly or unwittingly) a family judge in Nevada will likely order you to continue to support the child as it would be in the child's best interests.
Unmarried but a new father
If you are not married, but you have determined you are the father, consult a family law attorney immediately to ensure that you can obtain joint physical and joint legal custody.The mother will immediately gain primary physical custody of the child at birth. As primary custodian, she will be entitled to child support from you and can more easily relocate away from the State of Nevada.Note, being on the birth certificate is not enough to guarantee your rights. The best time to establish paternity is when you and the mother are still on good terms.However, if you legally establish your paternity by instituting a paternity action in court, you can request joint physical custody, or if the mother is a monster, you may pursue primary physical custody yourself.

You may be familiar with the Hebrew word for a bridge – גֶּשֶׁר.
Activating the word as a verb (of the active-intensive פִּעֵלvariety), Modern Hebrew has created a word for the metaphoric concept of bridging or to bridge – לְגַשֵּׁר.
It also means to mediate. For example:
הַמַּאֲמָצִים לְגַשֵּׁר בֵּין שְׁתֵּי הַמְּדִינוֹת הִצְלִיחוּ בְּאֹפֶן חֶלְקִי. The efforts to mediate between the two states succeeded partially. Likewise, to bridge gaps is לְגַשֵּׁר פְּעָרִים, where פערים is the plural form of the word for gap, פַּעַר.

Jared Dudley tweets about trade that sent him from Suns to Clippers
Though the teams cannot formally announce any moves until July 10, there is no such moratorium on players knowing where they are signing or where they've been traded to.
Such is the case with Jared Dudley, who learned Tuesday he was being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler.
Upon learning the news, Dudley sent out a string of tweets.

The feature-length documentary film aims to show the personal side of the Pussy Riot storyBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
HBO has bought the US TV rights to the Pussy Riot documentary film.
Titled Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer, the feature-length documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 18). In a statement, directors Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin said they "are thrilled to be working with HBO on bringing this important story to the world".
Speaking last month (December 2012), the directors told NME that they tried to show the personal side of the Pussy Riot story. Pozdorovkin explained: "The film features footage from their trial, so you see how Pussy Riot turn it into a sort of performance. The girls really flourish and take on this role that's thrust on them. In the seventies, Russia didn't have a punk movement, so Pussy Riot is like 'God Save The Queen' for them."
Lerner added: "We also interviewed their families and lawyers. And we have candid footage of the girls chatting privately right before the trial. We want to show what Masha, Nadia and Katia are like as individuals - why they did what they did, and how they've responded since."
At present, the international rights to Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer are still up for sale. Speaking last month about a UK release, Lerner told NME: "We're hoping to have it cinemas by spring. It's a good date movie - you won't struggle for conversation afterwards."

Want to know why there's no start date for this much-discussed "Arrested Development" movie?
Yeah me too, so how about we fire off an email to Andrew Rogers and Jim Hess. And who are they? Well they're Michael Cera's agents. And why would we be annoying them and not say, Jason Bateman or Jeffrey Tambor's handlers? Because, well, Cera's the only one who hasn't officially committed to Ron Howard's big-screen spin-off it seems.
Fancast had a chance to talk to Mitch Hurwitz, the creator and executive producer of the show, and asked whether there was any truth to the rumours that Michael Cera and Will Arnett weren't too keen on doing the "Arrested Development" movie.
"I don't want to talk about who is holding out right now because we might still work that out and I don't want to pressure anyone through the press. Although I will say that Will Arnett is gung-ho, so there's a big clue!", Hurwitz says.
So, Michael Cera's holding out, hey!? Well, look, as important as he may seem to the movie – I say if he doesn't return, just drop the character. If the "Superbad" star's involvement means the difference between an "Arrested Development" film and no "Arrested Development" film I say Hurtwiz shakes his hands, wishes him luck with whatever teen-indy flick he does next, and they walk away.
Hurwitz tells the aforementioned website that one of his ideas for the film is a prequel. In that case, you could probably afford to recast the character of George Michael – since Cera will be too old to play a younger version of the character. You could snag some ten-year-old to play the character. Just an idea.
But why do you think Cera isn't keen? Personally, I say he's just holding out for either more money or more screen-time. Hurwitz mentions in the interview that the film will be reasonably low-budget, and I assume Cera's agent/s aren't happy with what the atcor would be paid for the film. Speculation, but it's probably close.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented Apr. 24, 1951 COMPLEX ALKALI METAL-ALUMINUM AND ALKALI METAL-IRON ACID PHOSPHATES Guy A. McDonald, Chicago Heights, 111., assignor to Victor Chemical Works, a corporation of Illinois No Drawing. Application October 29, 1945, Serial No. 625,442
7 Claims. 1
This invention relates to a baking acid composition and more particularly to a complex alkali metal-aluminum or iron acid phosphate.
Certain alkali metal-aluminum compounds have heretofore been suggested and employed as baking acids, but prior to the present invention they have had the unfortunate property 01- producing a bitter taste. The present compound, on the other hand, produces tasteless products. upon reaction with sodium bicarbonate.
Furthermore, as will be shown in detail, the new material produces carbon dioxide slowly by the reaction and has a high capacity for producing-carbon dioxide. Products, such as biscuits, resulting from the use of this baking acid are, therefore, light and large in volume.
The new complex has the formula:
MM'3I-I14 (P04) 3 41-120 wherein M is an alkali metal including the ammonium radical, and M is a trivalent metal of the class consisting of aluminum and iron.
In general, the new compounds may be prepared by reacting a reactive trivalent iron or aluminum compound such as the metal itself or its hydroxide, etc., with an excess of concentrated phosphoric acid, adding sufiicient alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate to give a ratio of one atom of alkali metal to three atoms of iron or alumi num, heating the solution and boiling to concentrate it sufficiently to cause crystallization, and then cooling. The crystalline product is filtered oiT and washed with methanol to remove the excess phosphoric acid. The product is in the form 2 V of colorless or slightly colored plate-like hexagonal crystals having the general formula:
where M represents an alkali metal or ammonium radical, and M represents a trivalent iron or aluminum atom. i
The following example illustrates the exact procedure followed in producing the sodium aluminum acid phosphate compound.
108 grams of soda ash was slowly added to 3376 grams of phosphoric acid at 7 0 C. The solution was heated to C., and 458 grams of aluminum hydrate added at such rate that the charge did not boil over. The solution was boiled down, with agitation, until the boiling point reached about C. The charge became thick with crystals and was cooled to room temperature while continuing the agitation. The charge was then diluted with about two volumes of a 75% methanol-25% water (by volume) solution and filtered. The crystals were washed with a 75% methanol-water solution and finally with methanol to remove any free phosphoric acid.
After drying at 70 C. the product weighed 1400 grams. Analysis of the crystals showed them to correspond to the formula:
NaAl3I-I14 (P04) 8 41-120 I Following a similar procedure by substituting iron for aluminum and by using different alkali Compound T pe Crystals Axis NaAl H14(PO4)a -4H2O.
KFesH 4(PO4)9-4H2O KA]3H14(PO4)B -4HzO (NHQAIBHMP 008 41120 NaFe3H14(PO4)s -4Hi0 NH4Fe H14(PO4)a 41120 Hexagonal Plates.
.do do do do d0 do d0 do do do The crystalline compounds illustrated above are non-hygroscopic and are highly stable under normal atmospheric conditions. The compounds are slowly soluble in water and slowly hydrolyze under such conditions to give highly acidic solutions. This characteristic of the compounds makes them especially suitable for use as baking acids in baking powders, self-rising flours, an other baking preparations.
Baking tests show that the acidic hydrogen atoms of the molecule react with sodium bicarbonate in baking preparations, liberating a large amount of carbon dioxide gas for leavening purposes substantially in accord with the following equation:
The principal residual salt of the leavening reaction designated in the above equation by empirical formula is a complex insoluble'basic phosphate, the structure of which has not been definitely established. The salt, however, is inert and does not give the baked product a bitter taste such as is normally obtained when employing commerical phosphate-alum type leavening agents.
The reaction characteristics of the new compounds in baking procedures are similar to those llaking- Acid 15 Min.
From the table it will be observed that approximately 22 to 30% of the theoretical amount of leavening gas is liberated in the dough stage over a 15 minute period at room temperature of 27 C. The column headed Neutralizing value represents the amount of sodium bicarbonate required by weight to neutralize the acidity of 100 parts by Weight of the baking acid.
The following table shows two self-rising flour formulas made up with two of the new baking acids, and for comparison a formula using ordinary monocalcium phosphate as the baking acid.
(l) Sodium Aluminum Phosphate Potassium Iron Phosphate Ordinary Monocalcium Phosphate Sodium bicarbonotc DONG an DONG in l The proportions of sodium bicarbonate and bak- 4 ing acids were based on neutralizing values of for (A), 102 for (B), and for (C).
Biscuit bakes were made from doughs made with the above flours, using 12.0 parts of shortening and 66.2 parts of water based on 100 parts of The doughs for the above biscuits were mixed for 15 seconds in a Hobart dough mixer, rolled out to thickness, folded double, rolled out, folded double at right angles to the first folding, rolled out to original thickness, and circular doughs cut therefrom. They were baked for 15 minutes at 450 F.
The new compounds may be suitably used in preparing baking powders by admixing sodium bicarbonate and starch with the new baking acids in proportions to give the desired available CO2 content.
The new product is entirely compatible with monocalcium phosphate, and may be used in combination with such baking acid to give a range of baking characteristics from the slow action of the new compounds to the fast action of the hydrated monocalcium phosphate. For example, a baking powder consisting of 28% granular sodium bicarbonate, 13% hydrated monocalcium phosphate, 20% sodium aluminum acid phosphate (NaA13H14(PO4)c-4H2O') and 39% corn starch is highly stable, and represents an excellent formula for a commercial type baking powder.
For some purposes, it may be desirable to accelerate the speed of reaction of the new complex. In such cases, an accelerator may be added. The preferred accelerator is ordinary monocalcium phosphate. The monocalcium phosphate may be formed on the crystals of the complex by the process hereinafter described. In so doing, the process of preparing the baking acid composition may be modified with economic advantage by preparing the new compounds as described above up to the step of removing the excess acid with an organic solvent. At this stage instead of removing the excess phosphoric acid, it may be neutralized with hydrated lime to substantially convert the excess acid into monocalcium phosphate, thus yielding a homogeneous mixture of the baking acids in proportions controlled by the amount of excess acid employed in the first steps of the process. An example of this procedure is as follows:
1440 grams of 56.0 B. phosphoric acid was diluted with an equal volume of water and heated to 80 C. grams of metallic aluminum was slowly added and after the reaction subsided, the mixture was heated at 90-100 C. for several hours. The impurities and excess aluminum were filtered off, and 475 grams of 56.0 B. phosphoric acid and 77 grams of sodium carbonate were added. The solution was concentrated by boiling until it was thick with crystals of the complex sodium aluminum acid phosphate, and the boiling point had reached 122 C. The mixture was then poured into a mixer containing 200 grams of hydrated lime. Vigorous agitation was continued until the mixture solidified 75' into" small granular lumps. It was then dried for 18 hours at about 95 C. and milled. The product was a dry, non-hygroscopic powder having a neutralizing value of 100.4. It was tested in the baking of biscuits and found to have baking characteristics equal to that of standard commercial phosphate-alum baking powders, except that it possessed the distinct advantage over the phosphate-alum baking powder of not producing a bitter astringent taste in the biscuit. Results of baking at a neutralizing value of 90 showed the baked biscuits to have a specific volume of 2.6, a pH value of 7.4, and a fine open grain structure. Excellent results were also obtained with the above new type baking acids in baking cakes and doughnuts.
Baking powder compositions and self-rising flour compositions including the new complex alkali metal-aluminum or iron acid phosphates are claimed in my copending application, Serial No. 793,531, filed December 23, 1947, with this application being a continuation-in-part of the present application. I
The term alkali metal atom as used in the claims includes the ammonium group.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A crystalline compound having the formula wherein M is a member of the class consisting of sodium, potassium and ammonium and M is a trivalent metal atom of the class consisting of aluminum and iron.
2. A compound as set forth in claim 1 in which M' is aluminum.
3. Sodium aluminum acid phosphate of the formula:
NaAlsHm (P04) 8 4H2O 4. Ammonium aluminum acid phosphate of the formula:

St. Louis company benefits from bipartisan push
- Staff Kansas City Business Journal
A St. Louis company said it will benefit from a bit of bipartisan help from Missouri's members of Congress, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Unico Inc. President Shawn Intagliata said Republicans and Democrats alike helped the company get a change in a U.S. Energy Department classification that will help the company. Unico manufactures high-velocity heating and air-conditioning equipment, but it was subjected to the same regulations as traditional equipment when determining energy-efficiency standards.
The House and Senate recently approved legislation to change that decision. The move could translate to more jobs for Missouri, Intagliata told The Post-Dispatch.

Originally written on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 11/18/14
AUBURN HILLS -- It took two extra months, but the sounds of the NBA have finally returned. With the lockout settled, teams were allowed to open their practice facilities to players on Thursday morning, and two Pistons took advantage. Ben Wallace arrived late in the morning, and Charlie Villanueva showed up about 90 minutes later. "I didn't know who was going to be here, but as soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I saw Ben's Maybach," Villanueva said. "That wasn't a surprise. No one works as hard as Ben. This is his life." Wallace, who has spent much of the extended offseason dealing with a drunk-driving arrest that also included weapons charges, did not speak to the media, but Villanueva was happy to talk. "It's just great to be back," he said. "The lockout is done, and I'm putting it behind me. I can't speak for the rest of the guys, but I'm not even thinking about any of that. I just want to play ball again." Villanueva said that he has talked to many of his teammates and ...

French Door Refrigerator Comparison: Need Help!
I am quite new to this forum- but have spent A LOT of time reading many of the postings about French door refrigerators. I need help- I went on JD Powers, read customer reviews, expert reviews, and it is all very confusing.
I am looking for a French door, stainless steel, water dispenser, ice maker, etc. All of the usual. However, what I REALLY want is a water dispenser area that can fit a pitcher or carafe, etc. Most models don't have this feature. Its my one complaint on all fridges- why can't they make the dispenser big enough to fill up a pitcher? I only found 2 models out there with this feature- I am about to make a purchase and would like opinions on which of these below I should go with. Each one has positive and negative reviews but overall seem highly rated.
PFE29PSDSS (profile)
CFE29TSDSS (caf�)
These all fall into my price range too. Any and all help and opinions are welcome. Oh- and if you have any experience with purchasing online from AJMadison or Appliances Connection, I welcome comments on that too!!
Do not buy from appliancesconnection at all! They are a fraudulent business. They knowingly sell damaged scratch and dent appliances as new. I ordered a dishwasher and the frame was bent and I could not return it. I had to buy another one from Lowes, so now I haves broken dishwasher in my garage and I am out $600. It is best to buy local in case there is a problem so you have a place you can go to deal with it. Appliances connection will bully you into keeping the damaged goods. The reviews on reseller ratings are all fake. Beware of their scam. Good luck!
I guess I entertain a lot and am constantly filling up taller beverage containers. I didn't know I was so unique in my tastes!
That aside- does anyone know which one out of the models listed may be the best to go with?
Thank you for the opinions on Appliances Connection too- that helped considerably.
I am more familiar with the 2 GEs. I lived with one for a week before it was swapped. Is your fridge going to stand alone?
The cafe has enormous doors. We liked it 'cuz of the colored lights on inside shelf( the techy SO liked to change the lights). It also has the hot water, but I think one could heat just as fast in MW. The outside was smooth.
The Profile has won awards. Outside has slight curve. Doors don't protrude as much, and don't need extra room to open if fridge placed between cabinets.
FWIW, have LG model LFX25950TT. The ice maker had a recall. Otherwise it has worked fine & not needed repair. Got ours from BestBuy during a periodic sales tax holiday for energy star appliances. BTW, I think you meant to type LG LFX31925. Not sure if it applies but "TT" trim designation is coated steel instead of stainless. Cheaper & magnets stick.
