The original "upscale-camping" unit at our Forks campground. Outback is a small 8′ x 12′ camping cabin just a couple of steps from the main lodge building. This unit is fully carpeted and contains a double bed (all linens, etc. provided), sink with hot and cold water, space-heater. As do all our rooms, Outback has a mini-refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker. Outback occupants will have access to a small bathroom inside the lodge (shared with Outback Too – see below). This bathroom has a commode and hot-water sink, but it is important to recognize that there is no shower. Pay showers are readily available at the Three Rivers Resort just two miles away. $1 will clean you up nicely. Outback can accommodate a maximum of 2 guests. Pet-friendly.

Frustration with Congress and the Political Football of Immigration Reform
Feb 17, 2014 by M. Daniel Carroll R. | 0 Comments
A few weeks ago the Republican Party convened to work on a proposal for immigration reform. Although the proposed legislation was a bit harsh, in our opinion, at least it was a small, constructive step in the right direction. You can see that working proposal at http://www.nytime... [More]

Sunday Morning Coffee
The relevance could be that many do it yourselfers might be inclined to have fewer holdings not as a function of account size (for our "mid sized" accounts we tend to only have about 20 holdings, most of which are ETFs so that commission expense is not excessive) but as a function of time available to spend on the task. If someone has a full time job then they may not be able to make another full time job out of managing their money which is very reasonable.
I do this going sector by sector same as with large accounts. Decisions need to be made for each sector about overweighting and underweighting and the best proxies (per the person building the portfolio) need to be chosen to fill out the portfolio.
One way to come at this, as we've discussed before, would be one stock and one ETF for each sector which works out to 20 holdings (for someone benchmarking to the SPX). This would not work for everyone of course but it is one way to do it. The idea with one stock one ETF is avoiding over exposure to single stock risk, building in some yield and some precise themes.
I do it a little differently. For the smaller sectors I use just one ETF, again the context is mid sized accounts not large accounts. The three smaller sectors are each only about 3% of the index so even an overweight in those three would still be a small exposure for the portfolio and where commission drag is a concern I think one pick can work.
The financial sector is a tough place for me to find an ETF to use for the way they are constructed. I don't want to own the common of the big US banks, the big European banks, the big UK banks, the big Japanese banks or the big Chinese banks. So for financials I tend use individual stocks that we use for large accounts.
For other sectors we use a mix of an ETF or two and/or a stock or two.
One thing I mentioned yesterday was trying to change the volatility profile of the portfolio with the trade executed. This obviously doable in the context of the type of portfolio we're talking about today. There are a few good compare and contrasts to illustrate the point. In the materials sector you could compare the Global X Fertilizer ETF (SOIL) and the Materials Sector SPDR (XLB); XLB being benchmark beta. The Malthusian argument underpinning SOIL is easy to understand, you may or may not agree with it but it is easy to understand.
Not surprisingly SOIL is quite a bit more volatile than XLB. Someone believing in the argument to own SOIL could keep the fund and switch to XLB at a time where they want to reduce volatility of the portfolio but still maintain exposure to the sector.
There could be a similar dynamic in tech with the eTracs Next Generation Internet ETN (EIPO) Tech Sector SPDR (XLK) although given tech's huge weighting in the SPX, putting that much into EIPO seems very aggressive but you get the idea. With energy maybe this could be illustrated with the Jefferies Wildcatter ETF (WCAT) and the Energy Sector SPDR (XLE).
Before the 1+1=11 brigade comes out, the above symbols are just examples to illustrate a point, we don't own any of them.
The same type of work can be done for yield, cap size, foreign/domestic or anything else you might be interested in trying to capture in your portfolio. More likely there would be several variables being managed at once but again you get the idea.
The picture is from yesterday of Roscoe surveying our second storm of the season.

As a DIY investor, it is not a lack of time that leads to a few holdings in my portfolio. I simply choose to believe the argument that active portfolio management doesn't produce a net benefit in the long run, especially after fees and taxes. Marginal costs outweigh marginal benefits.

Danielle Park has pretty thoroughly addressed the need for a more active approach to portfolio allocations in a secular bear market (note that "active" here means more accurately pricing risk and responding appropriately). Her book, Juggling Dynamite, sits on my 'war room' shelf not too far from Paul Krugman's, The Return of Depression Economics.
In terms of allocation and scarcity I have been interested in several sub-themes there and found a good article at http://tinyurl.com/6qegzp7 that neatly addresses two of them.
1. a chart quantifying the projected depletion time-line of a number of critical commodities given current extraction rates (good chart porn).
2. an introduction to the important idea of Jevon's Paradox; increasing efficiency in extraction/production can lead to even faster rates of depletion because of economic growth and increasing utility/production.
NB: Paradoxes can really multiply when you change scale and the insight that aggregate behavior can have very different outcomes compared to individuals is key to understanding macroeconomics: what is true for the parts is very often not true of the whole and what is good for individuals is often not good for the country; e.g., it is true that moving to the side of the boat gives you a better view but if everyone does it the boat capsizes and the view becomes poor for everyone, if individuals can save more during hard times that's a good sign for the individual and family but if everyone does that the contraction of the economy accelerates due to less aggregate demand and total savings decrease (paradox of thrift). - 3:23 PM

The guides from Wilderness Rocks help urban dwellers escape to nature with five- to six-hour day trips through the Catskills and beyond. Groups of up to 14 get scooped up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and whisked away from the concrete jungle's hectic routine of hailing taxis and dodging falling coconuts under the Panamanian Consulate. Departing throughout the year, hike options range from the Catskills snowshoe trip on February 11—a 6-mile trek through the snowy sanctum of the Catskill Mountains—to the Pound Mountain trip on April 7, which involves moderate rock climbing and spelunking. Rather than sprinting ahead to nab the freshest, most coveted pinecones, guides make several stops along the way, allowing everyone to catch their breath and take in the serenity of their surroundings. Once hikers have finished each trail, Wilderness Rocks transports the group back to the 86th Street rendezvous point with nothing but their gear, memories, and carefully rehearsed alibis. Before departure, check each trip's page for departure times, clothing requirements, and what equipment to bring.

Very sturdy and also very cute and good looking in my 5yr old room. Need to air out the inside, did not put any fabric type of items yet, just toys like car/trains. Not giving a 5-star because it still carries the raw material smell.

Let's be honest for a minute. As a society, Americans aren't as up to speed on what is happening in the rest of the world, and what our role is, as some other countries. In fact, the issues out there today can seem slightly overwhelming to tackle.
If you're looking for a place to start, why not come to one of our upcoming Great Decisions nights at the Columbine or Evergreen Libraries. This popular foreign policy discussion group is perfect for those who are interested in learning more about current events.
Each program is presented in a balanced and non-partisan way, and includes background information, current data and policy options for each issue. Topics include:
Sessions at the Columbine Library begin with a planning meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 27 and continue on select Mondays through May 19. The Evergreen Library will host the program beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19. It will continue through Monday, May 5.
Exact date information
Meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "...nothing is said to be certain, except libraries helping with your taxes." Ok, so that isn't exactly what he said, but it has a ring of truth to it and tax season is here. But fear not, dear countrymen, the Library will again be offering free tax assistance to our patrons.
Each year, we partner with AARP to offer free counseling and preparation assistance to all taxpayers, with special attention to those ages 60 and older. Beginning Feb. 1, IRS-certified volunteers will be at several library locations to help with any tax-related issues people may have. Space is limited for this popular series, so patrons are encouraged to arrive early. You'll need to make a reservation if you're planning to go to Evergreen or Golden.
We also have several online resources, and limited copies of select State and Federal forms in our libraries.
Good luck and happy filing!

Now Showing!
A fun family movie in theaters now: Despicable Me 2 - Gru (Steve Carell) is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal. What a fun sequel to the first Despicable Me (2010) where Gru who claimed to be a criminal mastermind used a trio of orphan girls as pawns in a grand scheme. Instead of villainous glory he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better. With the jokes flying (for adults, too), "Minions" running amuck and sharp graphics, kids find both of these movies so much fun!
There was a showing of Despicable Me at the Evergreen Library in July to a very enthusiastic crowd of young patrons.
Every third Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Evergreen Children's staff presents a family movie in their series, Saturday at the Movies. We serve popcorn and offer drinks while families watch movies on the big screen in the meeting room.Here's the lineup for the rest of the year:
August 17 – Cars, rated G
September 21 – Toy Story 3, rated G
October 19 – Hotel Transylvania, rated PG
November 16 – The Croods, rated PG
December 21 – Rise of the Guardians, rated PG
Journey to Evergreen Library and join them next month. Bring a pillow, a sense of humor and prepare to enjoy a couple of hours of sheer pleasure. It is FREE of course, and you can obtain tickets in person or online one week in advance.

Defense: Still A Work In Progress
Mizzou is too big, strong and athletic for mid-major opponents. Of the lesser teams on Mizzou's schedule, only SE Missouri State managed 1.00 points per possession (and SEMO averaged exactly 1.00 points per possession). But of the "real" opponents Mizzou has faced thus far (Stanford, Louisville, VCU, Illinois, UCLA, Bucknell), the Tigers held only Stanford (0.98) under that mark. Ken Pomeroy's stats suggested that Bucknell is a strong, sound team, pretty good on both sides of the court, so the fact that this was a competitive game is nothing to be concerned about. But the Bison did manage to average 1.01 points per possession, which is higher than I hoped to see, especially considering Mizzou's own lack of shooting prowess on the other end.
Phil Pressey, Alex Oriakhi and Laurence Bowers combined shoot 22-for-42 (52.3%); Pressey even made three of six 3-pointers. That's a good thing. Less good: the rest of the team shot 5-for-21, 2-for-7 on 3-pointers. Keion Bell and Stefan Jankovic were 3-for-3 ... and Jabari Brown and Earnest Ross were a ghastly 2-for-18. It could have been worse, of course: Ross made a rather tough jumper with 1:55 left, and he made two free throws with three seconds left (after making just one of four to that point); he showed up at the end, which ended up mattering a lot. But there's a reason why Mizzou is so reliant on rebounding right now: both its offense and defense are a little flaky. Hey, speaking of rebounding...
Bucknell Beat Mizzou On The Glass
In terms of both actual and expected rebounding, Bucknell outdid Missouri on the boards. The Bison are a good rebounding team, but Mizzou is supposed to be a great rebounding team.
But Mizzou Won
Let's put it this way: Bucknell is currently ranked 37th in Pomeroy's rankings. Mizzou will play only five games versus teams ranked better than that in SEC play: at No. 29 Ole Miss on January 12, at No. 2 Florida on January 19, Ole Miss at home on February 9, Florida at home on February 19, and at Kentucky on February 23. Mizzou did win this one, and in non-conference play, Mizzou went 3-2 versus teams ranked 37th or better (and 8-0 versus worse teams). This game proved that the Tigers are still a work in progress, but it also proved that they should be just fine in the SEC. Next Saturday's game against Ole Miss (which, like Bucknell, has been better on paper than in reality to date) will tell us a lot.

- Phil Pressey has spent a decent portion of his 2.5 seasons in black and gold getting scolded by Mizzou fans for shooting too much or getting out of control. But in the last two games, I think we have seen the best, most mature version of Flip yet. I realize that's an odd thing to say about a point guard who has attempted 44 shots in two games, but aside from a late period in the UCLA game (when, again, he had been carrying the team for 35 straight minutes), Flip has let the game come to him and has done whatever the game dictated he do. Against UCLA, that meant driving and dishing, repeatedly, ad nauseum. Against Bucknell, however, that meant something different.
Bucknell basically chose to attack the Mizzou offense with the Stopping Wesley Stokes approach: stop the drive with all of your might, even if it means he's shooting open jumpers. Really, this is probably the smartest way to stop Mizzou's halfcourt offense. Flip is often cold from the floor. Luckily for Mizzou, he wasn't cold on Saturday. He shot 3-for-6 on 3-pointers and 7-for-16 on 2-pointers, but he still managed five assists (and was denied a few more by putrid shooting from others). He once again proved to be by far the most important Mizzou player on the roster, and in the end, he won the game for the Tigers. - That Mizzou beat a decent team with Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown shooting 2-for-18 is really, really impressive.
- That Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown shot 2-for-18 is really, really terrifying.
- Ryan Rosburg and Negus Webster-Chan: 12 minutes of nothing. Rosburg grabbed a defensive rebound, blocked a shot and committed a foul. NWC did literally nothing worth getting into the box score. What we thought was nine-man depth has pretty quickly become a seven-man rotation.
The Formula
- An offensive rebounding percentage at 40 percent or better. NO. Mizzou's OR% was 34%.
- Fewer than 10 turnovers. YES. Mizzou committed eight turnovers.
- An offensive FTA/FGA ratio of 25 percent or better. NO. Mizzou's FTA/FGA was 19%.
- Hold the opponent below 40 percent shooting overall. CLOSE. Bucknell shot 42%.
- Hold the opponent below 30 percent from 3-point land. NO. Bucknell shot 44%.
- Fewer than 15 assists per game for the opponent. YES. Bucknell had 14 assists.
Three Keys Revisited
When Mizzou Misses
This game pits one of the nation's best offensive rebounding teams against one of the best defensive rebounding teams. If Bucknell can at least break even on this side of the glass, the Bison could hang around for 40 minutes. Mizzou is so reliant on second-chance points that not getting them might make the offense press quite a bit. And against a good FG% defense, that is a little scary.
Granted, players not named Brown or Ross shot 56 percent, but Mizzou still missed 36 field goal attempts and five free throws, and Bucknell actually held the Tigers to one fewer offensive rebound than expected. Most of that was Mike Muscala -- he alone had 10 of the Bison's 25 defensive rebounds -- but it still happened. Oriakhi, Bowers, Ross and (strangely) Pressey each grabbed three offensive boards, but when you miss so many shots, that isn't quite enough. Bucknell is now 15th in the country in Defensive Rebound % (the highest-ranked SEC teams: Florida and Tennessee at 27th and 28th), so it's not like this was a shameful rebounding performance by Missouri. But it still prevented Mizzou from running away with the game.
Manage Muscala
Again, if Oriakhi is able to neutralize Muscala (who can, at times, step away from the basket and make jumpers like UCLA's Wear twins), Mizzou wins. But if he doesn't, it starts a bit of a domino effect. Hold Muscala to at or below his season averages, and you're in very good shape.
Muscala in the first half: 20 minutes, 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 FT), 8 rebounds, 2 assists.
Muscala in the second half: 14 minutes, 9 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 TOs
Muscala was the reason Bucknell led by four points at half, but it came with a price. He still had 9 & 6 in the second half, but he was fried and far more error-prone. So Mizzou played rope-a-dope, in other words. Whatever. It worked.
Play Your Game
Mizzou doesn't play Mike Anderson ball anymore, obviously. The Tigers aren't going to be pressing and attempting to push the tempo into the mid-70s. But they are taking on a team with experience and an extremely strong identity. Bucknell knows exactly what it is, and if the Bison suck Mizzou into playing an incredibly slow game, fighting to a draw on the boards, and turning this into a game of FG% and mistakes, Mizzou is in trouble. But if the Tigers rebound well, get second-chance points, play smart, physical defense and avoid offensive funks, they'll move to 11-2.
Mizzou scored just two points from the 15:43 mark of the first half to the 11:05 mark, but Bucknell only scored six points in the same span. Then Mizzou scored just one point from the 9:57 mark to the 3:55 mark and saw a 17-17 game turn into a 24-18 deficit. So yeah, Mizzou didn't really avoid the offensive funk very well at first, but Bucknell couldn't pull away very much. Meanwhile, Bucknell indeed fought Mizzou to a draw on the glass. Mizzou did get the pace kicked up a bit in the second half, and the game stretched just beyond the 60-61 possession mark that Bucknell was probably aiming for, so that helped, but for the most part Bucknell played Bucknell's game better than Mizzou played Mizzou's game.
Right around the time that Bryson Johnson made that 30-foot shot-clock 3-pointer in the second half, I began to come to grips with the fact that Saturday might end up becoming a "sports are stupid" day. Mizzou responded to that stupidity well, but when Phil Pressey missed the front end of a one-and-one with 11 seconds left, I accepted defeat. That Missouri could survive poor shooting, neutral rebounding and some untimely bounces is certainly good news.
Remember: Pomeroy only projected Mizzou to win this game by six points; it was supposed to be pretty damn close, even without Ross and Brown shooting 2-for-18. A 12-point win would have felt a lot better, but Mizzou got some close-game experience versus the type of salty mid-major the Tigers might be facing in the Round of 64 in the NCAA Tournament, and the Tigers prevailed. It would be easy to overthink this one and fret, but there's no time for that: SEC play begins tomorrow.
AdjGS: a take-off of the Game Score metric (definition here) accepted by a lot of basketball stat nerds. It takes points, assists, rebounds (offensive & defensive), steals, blocks, turnovers and fouls into account to determine an individual's "score" for a given game. The "adjustment" in Adjusted Game Score is simply matching the total game scores to the total points scored in the game, thereby redistributing the game's points scored to those who had the biggest impact on the game itself, instead of just how many balls a player put through a basket.
Usage%: This "estimates the % of team possessions a player consumes while on the floor" (via). The usage of those possessions is determined via a formula using field goal and free throw attempts, offensive rebounds, assists and turnovers. The higher the number, the more prevalent a player is (good or bad) in a team's offensive outcome.
Floor%: Via Basketball-Reference.com: Floor % answers the question, "when Player X uses a possession, what is the probability that his team scores at least 1 point?". The higher the Floor%, the more frequently the team probably scores when the given player is involved.
Touches/Possession: Using field goal attempts, free throw attempts, assists and turnovers, Touches attempt to estimate "the number of times a player touched the ball in an attacking position on the floor." Take the estimated touches and divide it by the estimated number of possessions for which a player was on the court, and you get a rough idea of how many times a player touched the ball in a given possession. For point guards, you'll see the number in the 3-4 range. For shooting guards and wings, 2-3. For a no-offense big man, 1.30. You get the idea.
Anyway, using the Touches figure, we can estimate the percentage of time a player "in an attacking position" passes, shoots, turns the ball over, or gets fouled.

Religious liberty, also known as freedom of religion, is guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Since its enactment, this guarantee has been interpreted to mean that under U.S. law, people are free to practice the religion they choose and are free to do so both privately and publicly. Religious tenets and principles and associated charitable works may be taught, preached, and practiced both in churches and in public spaces. Much good is accomplished in our communities by numerous religiously-affiliated organizations.
Since 2009, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama have been using the term "freedom of worship" in speeches in the U.S. and abroad. Freedom of Worship is not the same thing as freedom of religion. Freedom of Worship guarantees a person's right to practice their religion in their churches and in private places. Freedom of worship does not protect anyone's public expression of religion. Freedom of Worship does not protect a person's right to hand out religious leaflets, host a religious rally or pray in public. Freedom of Worship is a much narrower concept than the broad freedom of religion that Americans have understood and enjoyed under our Constitution.
Recently, our federal government has taken action, both legislatively and in the courts that, if successful, would limit the religious freedom to which Americans are entitled. In Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church vs. EEOC, a lawsuit involving a Lutheran church in Michigan, the U.S. Attorney General's Office, supported by the federal government (our tax dollars), argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of eliminating the long-standing "ministerial exception" which allows a church to make its own employment decisions when hiring ministerial employees, without governmental interference. The Supreme Court, in essence, held 9-0 that religious freedom trumps employment law when it comes to the internal hiring practices of religious employers as to their ministers, deciding against the position argued by the U.S. Attorney General.
The HHS mandate in the newly-enacted health care law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, requires employers of 50 or more employees to provide, free of charge, in their healthcare plans, for all FDA-approved contraceptives – including those which cause abortions – as well as free sterilization. Many individuals of various faiths have serious conscience objections to being personally forced to provide these services through their insurance plans. An employer with a religious or conscience obligation to paying (either directly or indirectly) for these services is not exempt under the narrow exemption provided for under the law. In fact, the exemption for religious employers is so narrow that it does not cover religiously-affiliated schools, colleges, hospitals and service organizations.
Protestant churches, Jewish groups, the Catholic Church, and other organizations have religious and conscience objections to aspects of this requirement and over 30 lawsuits have been filed to contest this governmental infringement of conscience protection and religious liberty. Among the colleges that have filed suit against the HHS mandate are Colorado Christian, the University of Notre Dame, Geneva College and Wheaton College. Dr. Philip Ryken, president of Wheaton College, declared "the fact that evangelicals and Catholics are coming together on this issue ought to be a sign to all Americans that something really significant in terms of religious liberty is at stake." A governmental mandate that seeks to violate the religious beliefs or conscience rights of any church or religious group is a portent of similar violations against any other church or religious group. A governmental requirement that seeks to violate anyone's conscience rights affects all Americans.

Everything you'd expect from a Ritz -- formal, doting service; cultivated decor; tasteful, tasty dining; a luxury spa -- all in the ritziest of San Francisco neighborhoods. But while luxury competitors offer free limo rides, 24-hour butlers, or panoramic views, the Ritz lacks a wow factor. It's largely a matter of taste, of course, but we prefer the St. Regis and Mandarin Oriental.
The Four Seasons' huge, well-outfitted rooms and attentive service are among the city's best, but the 277-room property falls a bit short of expectations. Its pool and fitness center are outsourced, and its business-centric SoMa location lacks the prestige of Nob Hill, where some if its strongest competitors reside.
Luxury vacation rental meets upscale hotel at the city's best, if most expensive, residence-style lodging. The Ghirardelli Square factory setting has plenty of character, while modern one-, two-, and three-bedroom units feel like designer model homes with top-of-the-line amenities. Maserati car service, personal grocery shopping, 24-hour butlers, and free breakfasts are among service highlights.
With 1,908 rooms and meeting space galore, this is the largest hotel in town. Business features are impressive, the restaurant is surprisingly nice, and the gym is well equipped. But rooms vary from impressive to so-so. Crowds of convention goers and business travelers make it difficult to find peace and quiet, or to get help without waiting in a long line.
Near the designer shops and theaters in Union Square, the 400-room San Francisco Marriott reopened after renovations in 2009 to show off new guest rooms and a new fitness center. It can be a great deal, especially when it's compared to the two other Marriotts in Union Square, but unlike many mid-range hotels, there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi.
Renovated in 2008, this 531-room Sheraton has large, comfortable, and colorful rooms. Outdoor firepits, an outdoor heated pool, and a spacious, modern gym are nice touches. Overall, the hotel is nothing special, but it's a solid choice for tourists exploring Fisherman's Wharf.
If you can get past the Handlery's misrepresentation of itself as a European boutique hotel, you'll find it a solid choice among Union Square's cheaper offerings. The hotel is divided into two distinct sections, and it's worth shelling out extra for the larger, amenity-laden Premier Section rooms.
After finishing its renovations in 2011, this 285-room Marriott is one of the freshest-feeling hotels in kid-friendly Fisherman's Wharf, and is located three blocks from the shops and attractions along the waterfront. It has up-to-date guest rooms and a spacious fitness center, but unlike the Sheraton, Radisson, Hilton, and Hyatt, it lacks a pool.
Converted from an old canning factory and reopened with 252 nautical-themed rooms and suites, the Argonaut is one of Fisherman's Wharf's best options. Spacious rooms, which underwent soft renovations in 2012, have more character than the nearby Radisson or Hyatt, special features include a free nightly wine reception, and the location makes some of San Francisco's most popular attractions easily accessible.
Spacious, apartment-like rooms, loads of free perks, and basic but stylish decor distinguish the 49-room Laurel Inn. Located in Pacific Heights amid upscale galleries and boutiques but away from the tourist frenzy, it's an ideal spot for long-term visitors or travelers who who don't require a full array of services.

Plot Summary:
"Get Him to the Greek" reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" director Nicholas Stoller in the story of a record company intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up," "Funny People").
Aaron Green (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.'s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril.
British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn't mean he can't have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back... right before kick-starting his world domination.
As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Recipe
Family and friends always "ooh" and "aah" when I bring out this tempting cheesecake after holiday dinners! Filled with peanut butter and cream cheese and drizzled with chocolate in a fudge crust, it's a showstopper.
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ounce semisweet chocolate
- 1 jar (12 ounces) creamy peanut butter
- 2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Melted semisweet chocolate, optional
- In a microwave, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate; stir until smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to batter and mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate.
- Spread 1 cup into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Cover and refrigerate remaining batter. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes; place in freezer for 15 minutes.
- For filling, in a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and sour cream; beat on low speed just until combined. Spread remaining brownie batter about 1-1/2 in. high around sides of pan, sealing to baked crust.
- Pour filling into center. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until center is almost set.
- For topping, combine sour cream and sugar; spread over filling to within 3/4 in. of edges. Return cheesecake to the oven; turn oven off and let stand for 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

Reviewed Jan. 5, 2011
Overall recipe was decent. The brownie crust came out well. I used dark chocolate, reduced the sugar by .25 cup and used chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate. The peanut butter filling had a good flavor but was more mousse like in texture than I was anticipating. It was a good dessert but not a dense, typical cheesecake.

Stranded Carnival cruise ship Triumph
The voyage of the cruise ship Triumph was interrupted when a fire broke out Sunday morning in the ship's engine room as it cruised about 150 miles off Yucatan.
