Wayne Rooney Invites 'American Idol' Contestant With Cystic Fibrosis To Match The Man United star contacted Kayden Stephenson on Twitter – Kayden Stephenson may have been eliminated from American Idol, but the 16-year-old with cystic fibrosis who emerged as one of this season's fan favorites won the attention of one of the world's most famous sportsmen — and an all-expenses-paid trip to one of the biggest soccer matches of the year. Wayne Rooney was so moved by Stephenson's story that he reached out to the Oklahoma native on Twitter and invited him to Manchester United's upcoming Champions League match with Real Madrid at Old Trafford, offering to pay for his flights and hotel. Rooney, 27, lost his childhood friend Stephen Johnson to the terminal illness in September. Read more at Sports Illustrated

Adam Lambert: Hello Tokyo! – Continuing his tour of the Far East, Adam Lambert showed up at the Narita International Airport just outside Tokyo, Japan today (February 18). The "Trespassing" singer was in a good mood as he strolled off the plane in an all-black ensemble and greeted some fans and photographers. – Read more at Celebrity-Gossip
Video: Watch Leah LaBelle Choose Her Performance Look for the Boy Meets Girl Fashion Show – OK! met up with Boy Meets Girl founder Stacy Igel and singer Leah LaBelle the night before Leah performed at the BMG New York Fashion Week show, presented by Conair STYLE 360. We got a sneak peek at the awesome clothes that would be appearing on the runway and Leah got to choose the outfit she would be wearing during the performance of her new single "Lolita".

Harry Styles on Taylor Swift Split: "I'm Good" – In an interview with Capital FM, Styles tells the U.K. radio station that he's doing "OK" since he and Swift broke up in early January. "Yeah, I'm good," Styles said. This sense of contentment also applies to Swift's possible diss of the 1D frontman during her Grammys performance, in which she tried her hand at a British accent during "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." "She's a great performer," Styles said. "She always performs great and she's always good on stage. She's done it for a long time. She knows what she's doing on stage. It was just another good Taylor Swift performance." – Read more at TV Guide
Smash's Megan Hilty on the New Ivy: Is She Heading Back to Bombshell? – "It's funny, she goes through so much change in Season 2 to the point where she's even questioning whether or not she wants to stay in the business," Megan Hilty told TVGuide.com. But don't worry, Ivy fans, the diva will be on stage again soon! "There are several different shows that come into play and she's a part of them," Hilty revealed. Unfortunately, one of those shows isn't Bombshell — at least for now. In the premiere, Karen (Katharine McPhee) had her former rival fired "to protect the work," but the new Marilyn seemed to immediately regret her actions. Does that mean it's possible Ivy could return? "There is a chance," Hilty teased. "You know nothing is set in stone until they open on Broadway." – Read more at TV Guide

Hooray for the Scotty appreciations coming in now. How nice to see things are going the way my crystal ball told me in 2011. :)
Already today ? Tight schedule…wow for those Japanese… I have to control my screaming.. Maybe I will only scream during the fast or the dance numbers and keep quiet during the ballads… :-)
That's very nice of Wayne Rooney.
Phillip Phillips Impresses With Show at JFK
"Phillip sang for the crowd gathered around the JetBlue stage at Terminal 5 five songs in total from his debut album "The World from the Side of the Moon". These were; the hit single "Home", the second official single "Gone, Gone, Gone", "Hold On", "Man on the Moon" and "A Fool's Dance".
A usual, Mr Phillips delivered BIG time! It was all acoustic, him and
his guitar and his God-gifted folk-y, tender vocals. Enjoy!"
Here's a case of worlds intersecting – but 'Outside the Box' – and the interesting new approaches artists are taking. Does anyone recall Season 8′s Matt Breitzke?
He made it in front of the judges, into that awkward Top 36 TPTB was Beta Testing that year – and I sorta recall a sing-off between him and Matt Sarver; Sarver got the judge's nod – and that was that?
Seems he was from the Tulsa area, and I ran into his name again today – because Andy Skib, MWK's lead singer, DC's long time friend, rhythm guitarist, keyboard player, back-up vocalist, and writing collaborator who recently moved to Nashville has set up a Private Concert Series Tour for his THH project – where the fans request the bookings – and one of the posters for a show in Tulsa on March 30th has the bill – Andy Skib, Matt Breitzke, and Bryan Jewitt.
Andy and his friends would hardly attach a stigma to someone coming from Idol – they, of all people, know better, Heh. so I'm gonna figure he sounds good – and since Matt is playing a show with Andy, who is connected to DC, I'm sure to read about his performance from someone(s) in the fandom.
Interesting to hear from Season 8 in this capacity, and I will admit some curiosity to see how Matt does. Plus, the intertwined connections and support among the musicians are just cool – IMO.
Kris was one of the clues in yesterday's New York Times' crossword puzzle
Enjoy your concert, bb. Scream if you feel like to, I know I'd go nuts if I were on your shoes:)

SOLD OUT! pic.twitter.com/H9DVBHzv
I think I remember him…a big dude who had some sort of blue collar job like Sarver did…which I thin is one reason why the producers had them face off against each other in the sing off?
That's cool that he's still pursuing his career.
Played my first Roll up the Rim this mornign with my daily coffee,and was surprised to see my local Tims has several displays in store announcing the P2 meet and greet prize. (I didn't win anything. I rarely do. Better luck tomorrow.)
This is a big departure for Timmys, I don't think they've ever put celebrities in the prize mix before. (Not sure how I feel about the current AI winner being embedded into my country's national identity, lol. But good for Phillip.)
Idology remains more entertaining than Idol itself. My favorite part of this weeks's episode — watching Keith sing (and move) along to Melinda's solo :)

holy cow, lauren alaina looks way too old for her actual age
FYE – Tokyo Day1
Great rendition with new arrangement. Adam has sexy moves which remind me of the Revue from Tarakazuka, Japan. Adam must have studied about them.
Any Japanese here agree?
This video mentioned by Nadine_Bitch of Adam singing Stay/Underneath is just breathtakingly gorgeous. Don't miss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ESm8WXypVaE#!
Watch out for this person … es2012v.
She is from Japan … has excellent quality 14 videos. (all Adam's from Queenbert to Tokyo).
I think there will be a lot more from her.
http://twitter.com/bluinjewin Landon Cox
Lauren and Paula look related omg
It's beautiful, it's makes an impact the same way Mad World did when he performed that on Idol. It's minimal instrumentation and the Voice, plus a great song, makes magic on stage.
..a big dude who had some sort of blue collar job like Sarver did..
Yep. That's the one, girygirltoo. He was a welder – Sarver worked on an oil rig. What a cliched choice for sing-off criteria, appearance and professions, not music… but they were all that way in Season 8, IIRC.
I plan to keep an eye on this, see how Matt does appearing with Andy Skib, who has a nice mixed group of fans, and they are generous to share the attention with people Andy recommends. Could be good for him.
With all the praises and the press about his cover of Rihanna's "STAY", Adam stays humble and gracious.
Here is his classy tweet.
Adam Lambert ?@adamlambert
And let me say- @rihanna and @mikkyekko 's album recording and Grammy performance of STAY were so gorgeous and inspirational!
He is sweet, kind and thoughtful.

Lauren and Paula do look a little alike. Maybe like granddaughter and grandmother? With Lauren 18 and Paula 66, their ages work.
http://profile.yahoo.com/2GSMAIVVJS4KFW5L3XHBUO46DA LUCIE
IMO Lauren has always looked somewhat older than her age. However, some people may not think so.
Anjelica Huston pretty much spoiled the TV Guide Story ( and any build up of suspense for the next few episodes fo the season when she told the folks on the TODAY show this morning that
There were two musicals this season and "Karen" was headlining HIT LIST while "Ivy" was headlining BOMBSHELL.
Of course most of the SMASH fans who had gone to the website probably had this figured out by now, (and this confirms the photo MJ posted here a few weeks ago) but I am sure the SMASH execs were screaming at their sets. But I guess if ratings do not pick up the TV audience will never get to see it.

Very excited for @DurbinRock's coming west coast shows! Beer in my hand and screaming for my hubby up on stage #theGoods
I'll never forgive P2 for murdering Wicked Game, one of my favorite songs.
Just saying.
What is Lauren doing? It's been kinda quiet.
My guess is the Santa Cruz gig is kicking off the tour and he'll officially announce and debut the bassist there.

Sarah Darling talks about being on tour with Scotty…
lol Adam on Japanese TV today
http://twitter.com/LexieONeill Lexie O'Neill
Scotty at the CMA Keep the Music Playing Foundation Concert…
So, he is on a 2 week LA songwriting trip right now and then he heads to Nashville to record. If he got to LA Monday that means he should be finished the very first of March, which gives him 2 weeks before his first two concerts March 15th and 16th. Is the North Carolina gig acoustic or full-band?
I wonder if he is going to Nashville right after LA or after his west coast dates? And I wonder if there are many dates? I know there will be Santa Cruz – but what else? We are talking about just 3 weeks between now and when his first concert starts. The fans need info asap!!
Sorry, but I really don't like this cover. Phillip basically ignores the actual melody of the original song.
Kris did a fantastic job covering this song, Phillip, not so much.
I do really like some of P2′s other covers…just not this one
tucker davis
I have P2′s CD that includes 'Wicked Game', and it's one of my favorites on the Deluxe version…very hotttttt!
So Kris did a Beatles song as his request pick at tonight's show. Which Beatles' song is a mystery. No one who has tweeted about it seems to have recognized the song.
So many questions, we'll get the answers soon enough. I'm just glad that waiting for new info is now a matter of weeks instead of months.
I remember back in Season 7 Chikezie performed "I've Just Seen a Face" as a kind of romantic ballad that halfway through turned into a manic bluegrass ditty. I'd never heard of the song before that either. Those were the good old days, when the contestants had to make their own decisions.

Phillip Phillips was at The Morning Show to talk about his new album 'The World from the Side of the Moon'.
With 'Idol' win and hit record, Phillip Phillips keeps pushing forward
http://twitter.com/bilolobi Namarinad
i guess it's different strokes for different folks and that's why all kind of genre of music are selling, you don't like others do and so goes the world
lol. That's a lot of questions!
I guess we'll find out more soon. My guess is he'd probably want to get the recording out of the way first. Didn't he say he and the band had already recorded the first 25 songs back in the fall? That would leave only the new 10 or so to record, so very doable in a couple of weeks.
Oh and I like his new twitter profile pic…..
That's a really nice pic of him, looks like he's lost weight again.

The String Cheese Incident announces the digital release of Winter Carnival 2011, a live, 21-track compilation of songs culled from the band's recent Winter Carnival run at Colorado's brand new 1STBANK Center. Available exclusively at iTunes beginning May 24, 2011, Winter Carnival 2011 catches all of the energy and excitement from this epic run of hometown shows.
Four years had gone by since the last "Winter Carnival", The String Cheese Incident's annual celebration of ski slopes, music, Mardi Gras, and the Winter/Spring Solstice. From humble beginnings in Boulder in 1999, through seven years at Denver's Fillmore Auditorium, the band's annual Winter Carnival run always offered up a chance to welcome SCI's musical heroes, as well as a few emerging favorites, to share the stage. Guest highlights over the years are numerous, including Little Feat, Bruce Hornsby, Del McCoury Band, Warren Haynes, Los Lobos, The Funky Meters, Olatunji, Dr. John, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe - and the list goes on and on.
Picking back up the tradition, for Winter Carnival 2011 the band welcomed OTT, JD Crowe and the New South, and Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk to join them on stage at the celebration's new home, the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado. A brand new venue just outside of the band's hometown of Boulder, The String Cheese Incident had played there only once before – hosting the now-legendary "Fourmile Canyon Revival" benefit concert. Now, it was time for SCI to lay down roots at this venue that would run deep. And indeed the 1STBANK Center proved to be a natural fit for this epic run of "Incidents."
Check out Grateful Web's review of the Fourmile Canyon Revival.
The String Cheese Incident's Winter Carnival 2011 Track List is as follows:
DISC 11. Betray The Dark2. Cottonmouth3. Pygmy Pony4. Rosie5. Will It Go 'Round In Circles6. Rocky Road Blues7. Let's Go Outside8. Sand Dollar9. Colorado Bluebird Sky
DISC 21. Rivertrance2. Give Me The Love3. Blue Bossa4. Sweet Melinda5. Big Shoes6. Ramble On
DISC 31. Rhythm Of The Road2. Dirk3. Way Back Home4. Black Clouds5. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'6. Black Clouds (Reprise)
Kyle Hollingsworth, keyboardist of The String Cheese Incident, is excited to announce a special "sneak preview" tapping of his first officially mass-produced beer, Hoopla - Festival Pale Ale. Hoopla is a collaboration between Boulder Beer and Kyle and will be available nationally in 22-ounce bomber bottles and on draft beginning in May 2011. To celebrate, Kyle will host a meet & greet and "sneak preview" tapping at 1STBANK Center at 6:30pm on Thursday, March 10, opening night of The String Cheese Incident's three-night Winter Carnival run. The meet & greet and extremely limited tapping will take place directly inside the North Entrance of 1STBANK Center just off to the right hand side. For exclusive updates all week and to stay tuned for more information on Hoopla this Spring, follow Kyle on Twitter at @KyleOnKeys.
Following The String Cheese Incident's Winter Carnival shows, Kyle travels to the Northwest for three shows with Kyle Hollingsworth Band in April. KHB will be joined by Acorn Project in Bellingham and Portland, and Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad will join in Seattle.
Tickets for all shows are currently on sale at www.kylehollingsworth.com and all venue outlets.

In anticipation of The String Cheese Incident's Winter Carnival, Kyle provides a look into his day with the band in the following video:
30 years ago, Kyle Hollingsworth set out on a career in music. Since then, with a wealth of desire and incredible ability, Hollingsworth has established himself as a formidable and versatile music talent. Today, as a member of acclaimed jam masters The String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Playing in SCI has allowed him unrestricted access to the world of music, and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness a composer needs to flirt with such disparate genres. Those who've seen SCI know the band can move from funk to bluegrass on a chord change. "In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we're not afraid to move in and out of genres," he says, "and because of that I've learned to be creative, not only on stage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to."
Hollingsworth's 2009 release, titled Then There's Now, finds the musician coming in to his own. With solid song material and a slamming new band, Kyle is making his mark in the new, always-evolving music scene. Then There's Now delivers a blend of vocal and instrumental tunes and seamlessly displays his growth as a musician and as a songwriter.
The Mimi Fishman Foundation just launched a new charity auction.
The on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close on Sunday, February 27.
The auction features posters from the 2010 Phish Fall tour as well as their New Years run. All the posters are numbered and have been signed by all members of Phish. In addition the auction features two String Cheese Incident 2011 Winter Carnival packages which include tickets to all three SCI March 2011 shows as well as a signed poster from the band.
To view and/or bid on the auction, as well as read about the charities the auction supports, please visit the Mimi Fishman Foundation Auction Page.
The String Cheese Incident announces today that in 2011 they will be bringing back the always highly anticipated Winter Carnival. Set for Thursday, March 10, Friday, March 11, and Saturday, March 12 at the amazing 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, CO, the three-night run continues the long standing tradition of bringing SCI fans and diverse musical guests to Colorado for a snowy celebration. Joining SCI at Winter Carnival 2011 is British producer/electro-artist Ott, influential bluegrass legends J.D. Crowe & The New South and New Orleans' premier new-school funk band, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk.
Tickets to Winter Carnival: Pre-sale begins Wednesday, January 12 at 10am MST at www.stringcheeseincident.com, with public on-sale on beginning Saturday, January 15 at 10 am MST at www.tickethorse.com. As a special thank you to the fans, each ticket purchased will include a free MP3 download of that evening's show from livecheese.com.
The String Cheese Incident community has come to expect a Conscious Alliance Food Drive at SCI events. For Winter Carnival, a 3‐panel event poster will be designed (one panel for each night). As always, the limited edition posters will be made available to concertgoers who contribute 10 non-perishable food items per panel, or 25 items for the complete set. Food collected at Winter Carnival 2011 will benefit the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Visit www.consciousallaince.org for more information.
2010 was a remarkable year for The String Cheese Incident, with more than 15 years of touring under their belt the band entered a new phase where select events and special destinations took the place of long stretches on the road. This new touring model was highlighted by sold out stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Horning's Hideout, and monstrous "Hulaween" Incidents at Hampton Coliseum. 2010 also found SCI launching the acclaimed classic archival series Rhythm of the Road, which kicked-off with the legendary Vol 1: Incident in Atlanta - 11.17.00 show from Atlanta, GA.

Hot Hot Heat's highly anticipated new album, Future Breeds (Dangerbird Records), hits stores on June 8th but fans in New York can get an early taste when the band begins its May residency at Brooklyn's Public Assembly. The band opted to do the shows at the venue because of its intimate setting and its close ties to Brooklyn's thriving indie music scene – a connection that the band feels to be particularly relevant with their forthcoming album.
Future Breeds is filled with the addictive, candy-coated melodies that Hot Hot Heat are famous for, but it also includes some of the band's most experimental moments yet. Charged with sonic detail, the collection of songs is packed with unconventional rhythms and quirky arrangements. From the dark, carnival-esque feel of "Times a Thousand" to the frenzy of "What is Rational," Future Breeds balances danceable, pop melodies with an unfettered and musically adventurous spirit.
Hot Hot Heat Residency Dates:
05/05: Brooklyn, NY @ Public Assembly
05/12: Brooklyn, NY @ Public Assembly

Never underestimate the power and popularity of electronic dance music in America, or the reputation of a successful annual event. This past weekend (Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum & Exposition Park, ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL (EDC), Southern California's leading electronic music festival, returned for its 13th year with a truly phenomenal turnout. In its first year as a two-day event, EDC drew over 135,000 attendees: 45,000 on Friday and a whopping 90,000 on Saturday. The latter figure ranks ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL as one of the largest single day attended music festivals in the U.S.
On Saturday, such world-renowned artists as Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Groove Armada, Kaskade and James Zabiela performed to the largest audiences they ever had in America. A combination of stellar musical sets from these talents along with other top-tier electronic musicians from around the globe, spectacular art installments by Gerard Minakawa, Dan Das Mann, Patrick Shearn and Jason Krugman (all of whose works have also shown at Coachella and/or Burning Man) and an intensely surreal assortment of performers created a carnival for the eyes and ears unparalleled by any other music festival. The complete talent line up can be found at http://www.electricdaisycarnival.com/la/lineup.html.
The event was marked by spectacular staging and production, with massive lighting displays throughout the Coliseum and beyond, plus non-stop firework displays each night and not to mention free carnival rides on the field in the stadium itself as well as throughout Exposition Park. The Olympic Cauldron was also ignited several times throughout the festival, an honor reserved only during USC football games and other special occasions (i.e., when the Olympics are being held in another city).
Founded by Pasquale Rotella of Insomniac Events in 1996, ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL has become a staple of West Coast electronic music culture. For the last 12 years, many major icons of the genre have performed at the event including Moby, Above & Beyond, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Pendulum, Ferry Corsten, Junkie XL, Sandra Collins, Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, VHS or BETA, Armand Van Helden, Z-Trip, Rabbit In The Moon, BT and many more. Over the years, there have been many unique venues in Southern California that have played host to EDC including the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, Queen Mary Events Park in Long Beach, Lake Dolores Waterpark in Barstow and Hansen Dam in Los Angeles. Insomniac Events have also brought the festival to other states including Colorado and Texas. On Friday, August 14 the festival will travel to Puerto Rico.
Southern California's premier electronic music experience for over a decade, ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL (EDC) has announced it will expand to two days for the first time ever, following last year's sold-out event with 65,000 attendees. With over 100,000 people expected, North America's largest electronic music gathering will return for its second run at the LA Memorial Coliseum & Exposition Park in downtown Los Angeles Friday, June 26 with Paul Oakenfold, ATB, Eddie Halliwell and Boyz Noise and Saturday, June 27 with Fatboy Slim, Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Benny Benassi and Roger Sanchez.
EDC will feature two full days and nights of beats, freaks, fun and festivities as Insomniac Events transforms the LA Memorial Coliseum and Exposition Park into a carnival for the eyes and ears. Join in as the world's leading names in dance music descend upon Los Angeles for an entire weekend enhanced by extraordinary light and sound production.
EDC has hundreds of additional artists still to announce that will be placed throughout five stages, along with a mind-blowing array of attractions, more full-size carnival rides than ever before and an intensely surreal assortment of art installations and performers. With six themed areas of music, art and festivities, this will be a truly special ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, April 21 and will be available online via www.insomniac.com and www.electricdaisycarnival.com as well as at select independent retail outlets. Two-day packages as well as individual tickets for each day will be available. Sell-out crowds are anticipated so early purchase is suggested. VIP packages will be announced at a later date.
Founded by Pasquale Rotella of Insomniac Events in 1996, ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL has become a staple of West Coast electronic music culture. For the last 12 years, many major staples of the genre have performed at the event including Moby, Above & Beyond, Infected Mushroom (live), John 00 Flemming, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Cedric Gervais, Deslyn Masyello, Mark Farina, Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kutz, Pendulum, Ferry Corsten, Junkie XL, Sandra Collins, Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, VHS or BETA, Uberzone, Christopher Lawrence, Adam Freeland, Sander Kleinenberg, Rennie Pilgrim, Bassnectar, Armand Van Helden, Z-Trip, Rabbit In The Moon, BT, The Freestylers, Todd Terry, Harry Choo Choo Romero and Joey Beltram.
Over the years, there have been many unique venues in Southern California that have played host to EDC including the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, Queen Mary Events Park in Long Beach, Lake Dolores Waterpark in Barstow, Hansen Dam in Los Angeles and Tulare. Insomniac Events have also brought the festival to other states including Colorado and Texas. On June 13, EDC will return for its second annual turn in Denver.
Last year's ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL was tapped "Coachella in the city" by the Los Angeles Times Soundboard blog (Charlie Amter, June 30, 2008). The news outlet noted, "…Italy's Benny Benassi…stole the show. The 'Satisfaction' purveyor wowed the masses with a varied electro-house set touching on his own offerings such as his Grammy-winning take on Public Enemy's 'Bring the Noise' as well as fresh looks at 1990s dance floor classics like Basement Jaxx's 'Where's Your Head At' and current favorite Busy P's 'Rainbow Man.' On the Circuit Grounds stage, SoCal's Donald Glaude and DJ Dan owned the old-school crowd, with the pumped-up believers unable to resist the duo's hyperactive set, which featured Justice vs. Simian Mobile Disco's 'We Are Your Friends' and older classics like Green Velvet's 'Flash.' But Dan and Glaude's tag-team style of playing sound effects over tracks live is what make their gigs so vibrant. Sped-up dancehall breaks and even Robert Plant's opening wail from Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' turned up throughout their set, as did more traditional DJ rig sound effects over house tracks."
In addition to ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL, Insomniac Events also produce such electronic music festivals as Together As One, Nocturnal Wonderland, How Sweet It Is and Audiotistic, as well as Tiësto In Concert which sold out the LA Sports Arena with a 15,000 capacity.

The location of this hotel met our needs. The appearance of the facility was pleasing. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was more than adequate.
Upon retiring for the night there was a distinctive odor of vomit near the bed area which was almost overpowering. Some kind of spray had been used to mask the odor but it was not effective. The room needs to be steam cleaned and sanitized before you rentThis was a very pricey hotel compared to others where we have stayed and did not offer the amenities offered by places like Country Inn and Suites.

The hotel room was beautifully decorated and new. The bedding was comfortable, and the HVAC worked like a charm. We will definitely stay here again next year.
We did NOT like that they only put ONE cup of coffee for the mini coffee maker in the room for the morning, and they don't provide free coffee in the lobby- you have to buy their starbucks from the Bistro.Our only complaint about the hotel was that there wasn't free coffee in the lobby in the morning. After he drank the only cup that was in the room, I asked him to go get more. I was thinking he would come back with coffee from the lobby, or ask the front desk for more little packets so we could brew in the room. He came back with starbucks, because they didn't have free coffee! (To be fair, he didn't think to ask for more packets for the TINY brewer in the room) On the positive side, the hotel was simply lovely. We stayed for two nights.

I shared with you my most recent painful journey in qualifying for a mortgage. It's not over yet as the underwriter now wants a signed copy from my CPA on his company letterhead of all my company's financials. My CPA said he charges $3,800 for a thorough audit, so I told him to go jump in a lake. Instead, I sent off my company's financials with my signature and told my bank to take it or leave it. I think they'll take it because I've fulfilled every single item on their 21 point check list. We shall see.
My mortgage pain post was shared around the web and I ended up having a good dialogue with a loan officer. He shared with me some frank insights as to why it's so hard to get a mortgage nowadays.
If you are easily offended, I suggest skipping this post. But if you can handle the truth, and if you want to gain some perspective from someone who controls millions of dollars in loans to satisfy property buyer's wishes, then read on.

- Tutsi - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
Tutsi (also called Batusi, Tussi, Watusi, or Watutsi) are people of Central Africa. Numbering some 1.5 million, the Tutsi are one of three ethnic groups that make up the populations of Burundi and Rwanda. (The other two are the Hutu and the Twa.) The Cushitic-speaking Tutsi traditionally were nomadic pastoralists who probably originally came from Ethiopia. They arrived in eastern Rwanda from the north in the 14th or 15th century and subjugated the indigenous inhabitants in a generally slow and peaceful manner. The Tutsi gradually expanded their dominion westward and began speaking the mutually intelligible Bantu languages, Rwanda and Rundi, spoken by the Hutu, the agricultural people over whom they established a feudal relationship.

i make my own. i use whole grain noodles to make pasta dishes and save the leftovers for lunches.
I also use my slow cooker. make 1 dish and have 5-8 "frozen" meals. it can be really inexpensive too, i've used dry lentils in a slow cooker dish- so much easier then cooking.
I love crockpot cooking. I make my own soups and stews. Pop the extra in the freezer in portion control containers. They travel to work or heat up at home. I make egg casseroles or sandwiches on the weekend and do the same. I make crockpot oatmeal and reheat for the rest of my mornings. It can be done.

Note: I do not add extra fat or oil to the mix
I like Jiffy mix, the boxes are small and inexpensive, If I am having someone over for Breakfast, I just use a whole box and if the extras are unwanted they either feed the birds of go into the trash
one problem in cooking for one is it takes as long to cut up onions or peppers as for 6
so I cut them up when I bring them home, they go into the zip loc and are ready when cooking, so if making an eggs, salad, or stir fry they just take seconds to add, when they start getting old they go into the soup

Since you don't mind frozen foods, and just want to get healthier food, you might consider preparing your own frozen foods. You can cook a recipe for 4 to 6 people, eat one portion, save one portion to eat the next day, and freeze the rest for later in the month.
(I like stir frys too. I don't do the broccoli and carrot combo, but you can choose whatever veggies you like. I normally include onions and broccoli in mine, but may also include mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and other veggies.)

Hi Sandy
It is not that hard or expensive, may even be cheaper
for a quick meal steam some broccoli and carrots a then stir fry it with some beef of chicken
this may sound Chinese, but I eat it without rice
fresh vegetables like cabbage, green beans, kolrabi, onions, snow peas, squash, tomatoes, peppers, can all be stir fried, steamed, cooked in the crock pot, or boiled in broth add the meat and you have a great meal, I limit starch and fat. using non stick pans or a little broth when cooking.

Literally! Last check-up I had, my Dr. called me afterward that my triglycerides were way too high. She wanted to put me on Crestor, but I said no way...I'd rather make changes in my diet. I did some research and found that when your triglycerides are elevated, if you eat too many carbs & processed foods, the excess of what your body does not use goes straight to fat. OUCH!
So if I want to get my triglycerides down, it's gonna take some perseverance, and commitment, and extra time in the kitchen. I'm sure that I'll find all kinds of ideas for quick, healthy meals here, that are just for just for one or two. Looking forward to sharing recipes & making acquaintances!

Subfemtosecond control
Femtosecond (10–15 s) lasers, which emit
only a few cycles of a light wave, have
become standard benchtop instruments
used to study ultrafast atomic processes or
deliver ultrahigh-power radiation. However,
users have had no way to control the exact
phase of the light wave produced—where
the wave lies within the envelope of the
pulse. This has prevented researchers from
taking the next step and
tailoring pulses that users
could control at subfemtosecond
durations. For
some applications, such
as the development of X-ray
lasers and compact
electron accelerators,
breaking the femtosecond
barrier is essential.
Now, a research group at the Institut für Photonik,
Technische Universität Wien (Vienna, Austria) and the
Max- Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik (Garching, Germany)
has achieved this level of control (Nature 2003,
421, 611). The team was able to accomplish this feat by using
soft X-ray emissions to measure the phase of the wave inside
the pulse envelope.
"Two years ago, our group and others developed a method
to stabilize and change the phase inside the envelope," explains
Wien researcher Ferenc Krausz, one of the team leaders. In
this technique, the frequency of the pulse is doubled, and
the doubled-frequency pulse is allowed to interfere with
the initial pulse. The phase of the wave in the envelope
is thereby shifted forward, backward, or kept the same, but
the absolute phase is unknown.
To find the absolute phase, the team
took advantage of the extremely high electric
fields created by the light pulse. These
fields were intense enough to cancel out
the electric field holding electrons to
atoms, allowing one outer electron to be
stripped way from the atom. When the
direction of the field reversed as the wave
passed, the electron was then thrown back
into the atom. That collision caused the
emission of a soft X-ray.
"We set the amplitude of the pulse so
that only when the field was most intense
would the ionization occur," says Krausz. If
the phase of the pulse was such that the
peak of the wave corresponded to the peak
of the pulse envelope, that condition would
occur only once for each pulse, and only
one X-ray photon would be emitted in a
pulse lasting only 0.25 fs. The short pulse
meant that the frequency of the X-ray
would be smeared out evenly over a range
of energies.
However, if the phase of the light pulse
was such that the wave was zero at the peak
of the pulse envelope, there would be two
distinct peak fields and thus two X-ray pulses
emitted for each light pulse. The interference
of these two X-ray pulses would produce
a spectrum with clear peaks and
valleys. By observing the spectrum of the
emitted X-ray photons, the team could measure
the phase of the light pulse to a small
fraction of a femtosecond. Knowing the
absolute phase, the team could then use the
frequency-doubling interference technique
to change the phase at will.
Such precise control, and the production
of X-ray pulses that last less than a
femtosecond, can provide tools for probing
processes that occur when an atom is excited.
This will be useful in the development
of compact X-ray lasers. In addition, attosecond
(10–18 s) pulses can take snapshots of
chemical bonds in formation, as electrons
move into new positions during the formation
of a molecule. Finally, attosecond control
of electric fields can be used to accelerate
bunches of electrons to relativistic
velocities as the first stage of a compact
electron gun. These applications will
require 10 times the power that the team
has achieved, above 1 TW, and the
researchers are preparing an attempt to
achieve that level.
Turbulent secrets
Turbulence is a central concern in several
fields, including aerodynamics,
meteorology, hydrology, and chemical processing,
yet it remains little understood. In
particular, turbulence is highly intermittent,
exhibiting periods of relatively smooth flow
disrupted by sharp bursts of rapidly rotating
vortices. How these bursts of turbulence
develop is not fully clear, in part because
there has been no good way to study turbulence
in three dimensions over time.
Now, a collaboration between researchers at the University
of Maryland (College Park) and Arizona State University (Tempe)
has succeeded in obtaining three-dimensional, time-resolved
videos of turbulent motion and started to illuminate the
process of intermittent intense turbulence (Nature 2003,
421, 146). The team focused 1-mm-wide sheets of laser light
on three sides of a 1-mm cube placed in a turbulent flow
of water. Each of three high-speed video cameras focused
on a single sheet and recorded the motion of 1-µm
fluorescent polystyrene particles. Although each camera tracked
different particles, the flow was smooth enough on the 1-µm
scale to measure all 3 components of flow velocity and all
9 gradients of velocity change every 8 ms. Based on measurements
of particle velocities, the researchers derived time sequences
of two quantities. One was dissipation—the rate at
which kinetic motion is degraded to heat (which is also a
measure of the strain on the fluid)—and the other vorticity,
a measure of rotational flow.
As expected, the videos showed smooth flow interrupted periodically
by "hyperbolic" flow patterns, in which the flow
changed course in a small volume, and by intense vortices. "What
we found was that the turbulence begins with an increase
in dissipation," explains Daniel P. Lathrop of the
University of Maryland's department of physics, a leader
of the team. "Strains suddenly build up and start to
amplify themselves." This, in turn, starts to stretch
out small vortices, which intensifies them and causes a sudden
rise in vorticity. Because a vortex is an efficient way for
the fluid to flow, strains are released, and the dissipation—the
release of heat—also falls. As the strains are eliminated,
the vortex gradually dies away.
"The way the vorticity rises had already
been predicted by earlier work, but this was
the first time we could see how the vorticity
in turn reduced the dissipation, something
that had never been proven before," says
Lathrop. Being able to
track the strains and
energy exchange in the
origin and decay of vortices
will have a major
impact on several applications.
Vorticity may be
desirable in increasing
the mixing of chemicals,
but it needs to be minimized
in aerodynamic
design and in the design
of structures to minimize
wind damage. Vorticity
is also important
in the study of violent
weather, such as tornadoes
or, on a smaller
scale, dust devils.
The researchers are
now improving their
instrument to simultaneously track flow
in many different cubes in the moving
water. These measurements enable them to
relate a local change to global change in
flow that affects large areas. In addition,
they plan to study the effects of adding
polymers, which are often used in industrial
applications to reduce turbulence and
drag on liquids.
Micromachines in vacuum
Conventional processes can make
micrometer-scale machines, but their
size has a major impact on how well they
run. The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, in particular, has been concerned
that trying to use micromachines in
the vacuum of space will lead to major
problems, such as tiny parts welding together,
a process called "stiction" (from "sticky"
and "friction"). However, new research at
the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in
San Antonio, Texas, shows that not only
can micromachines work in a vacuum, they
can work much better than in air. The
research will be published in Review of Scientific
David J. McComas and his colleges at
SwRI developed a vacuum-test facility
equipped with long-focal-length microscopes
to test and study micromachines in
vacuum. They looked at a simple oscillator
consisting of a beam with a small mass at
its end, powered by a comb electric drive.
Many researchers had theorized that air
molecules acted as lubricants to prevent
the sticking of microscopic moving parts, a
lubrication that would be missing in a vacuum.
However, the researchers found that
the disappearance of air led to a need for
far less power to drive the oscillator. Drive
voltage dropped from 70 V at atmospheric
pressure to 5 V at 0.04 Torr. Because generators
of higher voltages weigh much more
than those for lower voltages, this finding is
good news for many space applications.
In addition, the oscillator produced a
sharper resonance in the vacuum. The Q value (the ratio of the frequency of oscillation
to the bandwidth of the frequency)
increased from 30 at atmospheric pressure
to more than 10,000 at 0.1 Torr, a surprisingly
large increase. A higher Q value means
more accurate functioning.
"We are not sure why there was such a
large improvement in Q values," says
McComas. "If it was just simple air resistance,
one would think that once 10 Torr
was reached, there would be very little
increase in Q, but in fact, the improvement
became more pronounced down to
0.1 Torr." More work will be needed to find
the physical mechanisms involved.
"We found that, with careful design, stiction
just was not a problem," says McComas.
The researchers tested a 40-µm-wide
sliding door, running it back and forth 10
billion times without any failures.
Because such a significant improvement
in performance occurred in a vacuum, vacuum
packaging may become worthwhile
for micromachine applications on Earth.
The research team is now looking to develop
some of these applications, but starting
with those aimed at space. Some of the first
such applications might be for variable
apertures of instruments such as mass
spectrometers and neutral atom imagers.
Fluid nanostructuring
Building nanoscale circuits and machines
may require different approaches than
the photolithographic methods long used for
microcircuits. One promising idea is self-assembly,
inducing nanoparticles to assemble
themselves into the desired arrays
through their own interactions (see "Hybrid
Semiconductor–Molecular Nanoelectronics,"
this issue). To control such processes,
researchers need to understand how nature
produces order out of chaos, one of the basic
tendencies of evolution in the universe.
A research group at Argonne National Laboratory
(Argonne, IL) recently succeeded in
producing ordered patterns using tiny bronze
spheres in a poorly conducting fluid under
the influence of a static electric field (Phys.
Rev. Lett. 2003, 90, 114301). Not only did
they produce orderly, static patterns such as
honeycomb arrays, but to the researchers' surprise, the spheres
formed two highly organized dynamic entities as well-toroidal vortices
and pulsating rings. Such dynamic entities
may serve as parts of nanomachines or
have applications far afield from nanostructures,
such as in space engineering.
The electrocell in which the team performed
its experiments consisted of two
enclosed charged plates 1.5 mm apart,
across which is an electric field that is varied
up to 3 kV. Dispersed 120-µm bronze
spheres moved about in a mixture of toluene
and ethanol. By increasing the percentage
of ethanol in the mix, the researchers could
increase the conductivity of the solution
from 5 × 10–11 to 5 × 10–9/W•m. The
spheres acquired a charge from contact
with the bottom conducting plate, and the
spheres then moved under the influence of
the electric field, gravity, the field generated
by other spheres, and the currents moving
though the fluid.
As the experimenters increased the
ethanol in the solution and, thus, the conductivity,
the behavior of the fluid changed
from that of a randomly moving gas to the
creation of static structures. Depending on
the direction of the field, either up or
down, the particles generated a regular
hexagonal honeycomb or a semiregular pattern
termed a Wigner crystal.
With still higher conductivity, the fluid
began to behave like a plasma, which is
governed by similar forces. "We were very
surprised to see the particles organize
themselves into rotating toroidal vortices,"
comments I. S. Aranson, one of the Argonne
researchers. The toroidal vortices, in turn,
attracted each other and merged into large
vortices limited only by the spacing between
the plates. Sometimes, dynamic structures
that looked like pulsating rings formed.
The toroidal vortices are fascinating in
themselves and could be used as models to
study natural phenomena, such as ball lightning.
They could also be applied to keeping
particles in suspension, efficient mixing of
chemicals, and conducting heat in space,
where ordinary convection does not function.
The team also hopes that the static structures
could be used for such applications as forming
nanoscale versions of quantum-dot
arrays. Work is ongoing to scale down the size
of the conducting spheres, initially to 2 µm
and later to 100 nm.

while I agree that AVR32 support would be nice, especially since Atmel discontinued their Eclipse based AVR32 IDE, it is not something of a priority for me.
I will continue to add hooks in the plugin for integrating toolchains other than the AVR8 series, but unless someone sponsors me I am afraid that I won't be able to add any AVR32 support myself as I do not use these MCUs.

Market Efficiency, Time-Varying Volatility and Equity Returns in Bangladesh Stock Market
AbstractThis paper empirically examines the issue of market efficiency and time-varying risk return relationship for Bangladesh, an emerging equity market in South Asia. The study utilizes a unique data set of daily stock prices and returns compiled by the authors which was not utilized in any previous study. The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) equity returns show positive skewness, excess kurtosis and deviation from normality. The returns display significant serial correlation, implying stock market inefficiency. The results also show a significant relationship between conditional volatility and the stock returns, but the risk-return parameter is negative and statistically significant. While this result is not consistent with the portfolio theory, it is possible theoretically in emerging markets as investors may not demand higher risk premia if they are better able to bear risk at times of particular volatility (Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkle, 1993). While circuit breaker overall did not have any impact on stock volatility, the imposition of the lock-in period has contributed to the price discovery mechanism by reverting an overall negative riskreturn time-varying relationship into a positive one. As a policy to improve the capital market efficiency, the timely disclosure and dissemination of information to the shareholders and investors on the performance of listed companies should be emphasized.
