Hugh Panaro and Sara Jean Ford Will Sing Phantom's High Notes Starting in September
By Kenneth Jones
Hugh Panaro will once again don the mask of The Phantom of the Opera at Broadway's Majestic Theatre, playing opposite the touring "Christine" Sara Jean Ford. They will begin performances Sept. 7.
John Cudia will exit the Harold Prince-directed production of the hit musical by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, as will Jennifer Hope Wills, the current Christine — the impressionable soprano and object the phantom's ardour. Their final show together will be Sept. 4.
Panaro has played both Raoul and The Phantom on Broadway. He starred as Lestat in the musical of the same name, and also appeared in Les Miserables, Side Show, The Red Shoes and Show Boat.
Panaro first joined the New York cast in December 1990 as Raoul, a role he played for over two years and more than 900 performances. In February 1999 he was invited to take over the title role.
Panaro won a Barrymore Award for playing Jean Valjean in Les Misérables at Walnut Street Theatre; he has a second nomination for his performance as Fagin in Oliver! at WST.
Former Phantom national tour star originally Ford made her Phantom (and Broadway) debut with the New York company in March 2007 as the Mirror Bride and the cover for the role of Christine. In September 2007 she took over the role of Christine on the national tour, playing it for nearly a year.
Ford's other Broadway credits include the current Broadway revival of A Little Night Music as Mrs. Anderson (Anne/Petra cover) and Finian's Rainbow as Arlene (Sharon cover). Off-Broadway, she starred as Luisa in the new production of The Fantasticks and can be heard on the original revival cast recording. She appeared in Wicked in Chicago (Glinda/Nessarose cover), as June in Anyone Can Whistle at City Center for Encores! and originated the role of Nellie Oleson in the national tour of Little House on the Prairie–The Musical.
The musical — produced by Cameron Mackintosh/Really Useful Group, Inc. — is now in its 23rd year on Broadway.
For the record, Panaro was the tenth of the 12 men cast as Broadway's Phantom. Ford is the 14th actress to be cast as Christine in the New York production.

PRAC recommends the same cardiovascular precautions for diclofenac as for selective COX-2 inhibitors
The European Medicines Agency's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) has concluded that the effects of the painkiller diclofenac on the heart and circulation when given systemically (by means such as capsules, tablets or injections) are similar to those of selective COX-2 inhibitors, another group of painkillers. This applies particularly when diclofenac is used at a high dose (150 mg daily) and for long-term treatment. The PRAC concluded that the benefits of diclofenac still outweigh the risks but recommended that the precautions already in place to minimise the risks of arterial thromboembolic events (blood clots in the arteries) with selective COX-2 inhibitors should also be applied to diclofenac.
Patients who have serious underlying heart or circulatory conditions, such as heart failure, heart disease, circulatory problems or a previous heart attack or stroke, should not use diclofenac. Patients with certain cardiovascular risk factors (such as high blood pressure, raised blood cholesterol, diabetes or smoking) should only use diclofenac after careful consideration. Healthcare professionals will also be advised to periodically re-assess the need for patients to continue taking the medicine.
Questions and answers on the PRAC recommendations are available here.

Sweet n' Spicy Raw Tomato Basil Soup
Is there anything better than hot Tomato Soup in the Winter? This is such a comfort food and it's full of health benefits making it a great medicinal food for a winter cold!
Tomatoes are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and blood purifiers. Basil is an anti-inflammatory, helps combat respiratory disorders and reduce fevers. Oregano, (which is optional in the recipe here as it is a very strong oil, so if your brave enough to use it, only add a few drops at a time) is an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, good for infections, pain and inflammation.
This recipe takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, so it's easy to blend up a bowl of yumminess!
Sweet N' Spicy Tomato Soup
Celery, Basil & Lemon
Miso, Cinnamon, Cayenne, Garlic & Dates!
Optional Oregano Oil for a kick!
5 minutes in the Vitamix for a steamy soup!

The Cubs lost again this afternoon, 2-1 to the A's, when Jose Ceda, who has a great arm but isn't likely to crack a major league roster anytime soon, had a bad eighth inning.
I stole this idea from Good Morning America Weekend, which I wind up seeing at work when I'm there early on weekend mornings. They have a segment where they ask people to sum up their week in three words. So, with many apologies to those involved, here's my three-word takes for various Cubs involved in today's game:
Jason Marquis: Better today. So?
Daryle Ward: Healed butt. Played.
Kerry Wood: Solid inning; hopeful.
Bob Howry: Looked fine today.
Jose Ceda: To AA ball.
Lou Piniella: Probably steaming tonight.
Geovany Soto: Two more hits.
Kosuke Fukudome: Walked, scored. Solid.
Shingo Takatsu: Fukufriend decent today.
Aramis Ramirez: Tomorrow, we swear.
Me: Heading there Wednesday!

One State Senator is trying to make New Jersey's beaches free this summer.
State Senator Michael Doherty of Somerset County says that he's drafting a law that requires shore communities using federal or state money to rebuild their beaches after Hurricane Sandy to provide free beach access to the public.
Doherty says he considers beach fees an unfair barrier to all citizens from using something they pay to maintain and rebuild.
He said that he is in the process of drafting the legislation and it would also not allow towns to charge for the use of restroom facilities.

Laurie Figone of Petaluma grew up on the 1,000-acre Leveroni Brothers Dairy ranch in Novato and studied agriculture at Petaluma High School.
Nowadays, the 55-year-old mother of two uses the lessons she learned on the farm to win one top prize after another in amateur cooking contests. It's her claim to fame.
When she got married 28 years ago, her grandmother taught her how to make a family recipe for ravioli. That ravioli became Figone's signature dish, a labor of love stuffed with meat and smothered in tomato sauce.
Laurie Figone's Strawberry Daiquiri Trifle
"Word of mouth got out," she said. "One Christmas, I made 10,000 raviolis."
In 2009, Figone decided to enter her Tomato and Brie Focaccia in a contest sponsored by Taste of Home magazine. It won in the tomato dish category.
"That's how I got into recipe contests," she said. "I'm a perfectionist, and I was trying to perfect my focaccia."
At the moment, Figone is a finalist in the 2013 "Get Wild with Wild Rice" contest sponsored by the Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice Council.
In November, she will head to Las Vegas to compete in the World Dessert Championship as part of the World Food Championships.
"There will be 50 people just in the dessert category alone," she said. "And there are professional pastry chefs competing with home cooks."
On the first day of the competition, Figone will make a signature dessert and a "build," meaning an original dessert using the same ingredients that were given to the other contestants.
"After the first day, they will pick 10 top winners," she said. "Then the 10 finalists bake on Saturday, and that winner goes to the Final Table on Sunday."
The 2013 World Food Championships showcase classic American cuisine in several categories, with about 350 contestants vying for best barbecue and chili, burgers and sandwiches as well as desserts. Champions in each category win $10,000, and the Final Table champion takes home $50,000.

It's a strange feeling being here right now, at the center. There's a certain kind of energy in the air here, right now, where it all began, where it's all about to happen again. So many stories to hear, so many stories still yet to unfold. I stood on the rooftop tonight, looked out at the lights reflected on the Potomac and wondered. How many have been here and questioned what comes next, worried, what if. I gazed at the Lincoln, the Jefferson, the Washington, and imagined a world at once so very different from today, but yet so eerily similar. I thought of those that have come before and died at the hands of those who disagreed. I dreamed of what I could do, here right now, at the center, then turned, and walked back down.

Ingredient to prepare…
Blend a rice bowl of dried chili, 6 shallot, 3 Candlenut (buah keras) and 1 inch Belacan. Set aside
Pound 4 shallot. Set aside.
Fry the shallot till aroma then add in the blended Chili. Fry till the chili dried up (garing).
Then add in the Sotong.
Stir fry for a lil while then add in the Tamarind juice.
The juice, I can't tell you how much. You have to taste it yourself. The Sambal must be a lil bit sourish. If not add more Tamarind juice.
Add some salt and Daun Limau Purut for taste and nicer aroma.
Here you go…Sambal Sotong; taken with flash for nicer colour.

Mechanisms of Autoimmune Activation and Regulation by Innate Immune Receptors
Principal Investigator: Mark Shlomchik
Affiliation: Yale University
Country: USA
Abstract: The autoantibody response in systemic autoimmune diseases focuses on a specific set of autoantigens, but it is not clear why. Via collaboration, the Rothstein and Shlomchik labs previously demonstrated that activation of rheumatoid factor (RF)-specific B cells by their antigenic immune-complexes was greatly potentiated if chromatin was contained in these complexes, and this was dependent on intact Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, most likely via TLR9. These in vitro findings led to the central hypothesis that certain autoantigens (particularly chromatin) can be ligands for TLRs or other innate immune response receptors, and that the ligation of such receptors can play a critical role in autoimmune responses of B cells. More recently we demonstrated that indeed TLRs regulate autoimmunity in vivo, a concept also corroborated by others in several systems. Specifically, we showed that TLR9 was required for anti-DNA type ANAs and that RNA-associated autoantibodies required TLR7. Together these discoveries have led to a new understanding of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, as well as treatment approaches, some of which is already reaching the clinic. Though we found that presence of TLR7 (and MyD88) promoted disease, we unexpectedly found that TLR9 paradoxically suppressed global disease. These findings raise two major questions: a) how does TLR9 play a regulatory role in disease;and b) are TLR7 and TLR9 the only innate-immune sensing receptors of relevance in systemic autoimmunity? We will address these questions using in vivo genetic and in vitro biochemical approaches. In Aim 1 we will test the hypothesis that TLRs have tissue-specific functions in vivo, in part explaining the effect of deletion of TLR9 in all tissues. To do so, we will create and analyze floxed alleles of TLR7 and 9, as well as utilize an existing floxed MyD88 allele. These will be crossed with tissue-specific Cre alleles that we are maintaining on the MRL/lpr background. In Aim 2 we will test the hypothesis that TLR9 overexpression-either globally, or in specific cell types-will suppress some or all aspects of disease, thus highlighting a therapeutic approach. Again, we will use genetic approaches to create novel overexpressing mice. In Aim 3 we will use F2 genetic crosses to test the roles in disease of the remaining known innate immune nucleic acid sensing pathways and the inflammasome pathway. Aim 4 will directly evaluate the mechanism by which TLR9 suppresses disease. It will use in vitro biochemical and in vivo approaches to test several hypotheses concerning interactions between TLR9 and TLR7, as our unpublished genetic evidence shows that disease exacerbation due to TLR9 deletion requires TLR7. These studies should provide novel insights into how innate immune signaling regulates systemic autoimmune disease in vivo. In addition, we will generate and characterize valuable new reagents for the study of innate immunity in autoimmune disease and in general. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This work will enable us to understand much better how the immune system attacks the body during autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Since these diseases are complex, we need animal models to understand how they work. We are using state of the art genetic tools to generate specific types of mutant mice to test how the two major limbs of the immune system, innate and adaptive, interact to cause autoimmune diseases.

Ok party peeps since there were only ten of these things done so far I felt I needed to make it a prime number.. SO here I go MY idea for our 53 man roster.
Quarterback. I have decided the Ponder era while full of hope held far to many doubts for me. So with the current technology at our disposal we are cloning Tarkenton and Joe Kapp we have taken both of these men fused their DNA together and made TARKENKAPP! Not only is he mobile but he'll chew your face off too! Sorry Ponder in the face of this new possability I just can't see you making the cut, and honestly you are just to good looking and nice to be on a team with TARKENKAPP.
Running back AD. We don't need any back up if he gets hurt we'll just feed him babies.
Ofensive line. Once again we go to the labs! We inject elephant DNA into the linemen making them massive super linemen with a slightly large nose. Best thing about this it they literally work for peanuts. Thank goodness we don't play Miami as I hear they have an odd reaction to Disney World/Land whatever...
MLB: The true reason we brought Singleterry here! Over the years we keep pulling kids out of Florida, have you ever questioned why? I did! Red McCombs was looking for the fountain of Cheap! But instead after long searching they found the fountain of youth, we're going to dip Singleterry in it and just have him play all three line backer spots. Bonus to this is we can have more peeps in secondary!
Secondary. Which we don't need because to cap this off I'm pulling in the dark sith himself, yes I know it's has me all aflutter but we finally got Darth Vader signed to a 40 year contract for a quadjillion glactic credits (whatever that is) and as many people to choke out as he wants to. I told him he could start with the Pack. Also I think I'm going to try to be his MMA agent as well...
Receiver- Ok Detroit had Megatron, well after some seriousl negotiations I have managed to pull out VOLTRON!! Yes not only can they play all the receiving positions, but they also can form into a giant robot of serious butt kicking ability. As an added bonus for the first preseason game they will let me form the head!
I know I left some spots out but honestly I thought it would be best to let some of the other elite DN'rs work out who would fill the D line and other spots. (Although I am thinking about a temporal rift and injecting REAL Vikings into the defensive line.) So what do you guys think if you had your druthers who would you have playing for the Vikes?

Issues with custom @font-face not loading on certain devices
I'm using @font-face to load a custom font via CSS, and it's loading fine in chrome on my PC and dolphin browser on my cell device, but on chrome for my Nexus 7 tablet it's not loading the custom font for all of the tags.
For instance, on the tablet (the only one I'm having issues seeing the font on) it's displaying the custom font for h1-h5's, but not on paragraph tagged content.
Why would this be? is this a FOUT issue? I tried editing the .htaccess file on my server to load the font file only once, but that didn't seem to fix it.
Here's what i've added:
@font-face {
font-family: 'RobotoLight';
src: url('../fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.svg#RobotoLight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
body {
font-family: 'RobotoLight', sans-serif;
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
font-family: 'RobotoLight', sans-serif;
nav a {
font-family: 'RobotoLight', sans-serif;
(I understand the multi-declarations are redundant... was trying that to strangle it into submission. Didn't work.

Cycling is really a great sport. I've taken it up a few months ago and I already feel better both physically and psychologically. The only problem I have is that I tend to exhaust very quickly and I concluded that this might be because I don't breathe correctly. Can you tell me a few useful exercises for bike riders? Thanks in advance!

As for any sports activity, breathing is very important for cycling. When I started cycling and still didn't know the ropes, I suffered from dizziness very often. At first I was afraid, but then I realized it was because of the incorrect breathing pattern. My brain didn't get enough oxygen and I felt bad. There are some very basic exercises, such as deep breathing and holding your breath like swimmers do in order to increase the capacity of their lungs. There are several suggestions that you can follow and increase your performance. For example, always exhale as much as possible. During an exhale count to three and let it be the rhythm. Your breathing should be deep and more from the belly. And always keep the same rhythm of your breathing.

My own Muse is rather sick and tired of all these sweet innocent little happy prompts that take you through flowery fields and end up with lollipops and a Wizard granting wishes at the end.

Sometimes you have to work your way through the Darkness to really reach the Light. This is one of those courses.

Tom Taylor, the CEO at Tucson Greyhound Park says the park will no longer accept any female greyhounds and already has stopped administering anabolic steroids to the 300 to 400 female dogs at the park.
The park has been under scrutiny recently regarding the use of anabolic steroids in female greyhounds. The Park is in the City of South Tucson where anabolic steroids have been banned since 2008. However, Taylor has admitted to taking the dogs into Tucson City limits to have the steroids administered.
Taylor maintains the anabolic steroids are used in the females as a form of birth control and are given in proper doses by a veterinarian. Now, he says "it's not worth the hassle to jump through all the hoops."
Last week, the Tucson City Council voted to ban anabolic steroids in Tucson, and now Ward 6 council member Steve Kozachik is trying to get Pima County Supervisors on board with the ban, too.
Taylor says he will not accept any more females at the park. The male and female greyhounds interact at the park and Taylor says the females will continue to race and if they go into heat they will be isolated and off the track for a month.
"The problem is they [the track] may not get enough dogs to come in if we only accept males. It may not happen, but it is a concern," Taylor said.
The Greyhound Protection League has offered to help pay for the transportation of the female greyhounds and assist with adoptions.
"We want to make sure that every TGP kennel operator and greyhound owner knows that our offer is on the table," said Greyhound Protection League President, Susan Netboy in a press release provided to Tucson News Now. "This is a chance for these dogs to experience life as a beloved pet; that's the life they deserve."
Taylor says it will take a year and a half for the track to become an all-male track.

A section of Highway 194 reopened this morning in Avery County about two months after a mudslide destroyed a portion of the road and homes along the thoroughfare.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation reopened the road at 8 a.m. Department of Transportation officials say Highway 194 reopened a month earlier than expected because of the dry weather in the area over the last month.
Back on July 16, a mudslide caused a portion of the road to collapse. This also destroyed several homes.

Illinois Central College Head Women's Basketball Coach Steve Garber has resigned in order to explore other opportunities. Athletic Director Sue Sinclair received his resignation today.
Sinclair credits Garber with his service, dedication, and success he brought the program. "Coach Garber has been a loyal member of the women's basketball program for 15 years – first as an assistant coach and then as head coach, a position he's held for nine years," she said.
Garber first extended gratitude to his predecessor. "I would like to thank Lorene Ramsey for opening up the opportunity that has given me 15 years of service in the women's basketball program," he said.
In his tenure, ICC has won four national championships – one while he was at the helm and three while on the coaching staff as an assistant. Under his leadership as head coach, the Cougars also won runner-up (2005) and third place (2008) finishes in the national championship as well.
While citing the success of the program, he immediately shifted focus to the players. "My most memorable experience, however, has been with the people I have coached over the years. Most have gone on to play at four-year schools all across the country, while others finished their education and entered their professional careers immediately. Having coached two qualifying NJCAA All-Academic teams has been a proud accomplishment which we strive for each year in stressing the student-athlete experience," Garber said.
"I feel humbled in having worked within the community through the women's basketball program in a variety of community services, including the Peoria Girls Sports League, the Special Olympics, the United Way, Girl Scouts, Lymphoma Society, and fundraising for cancer awareness through my Women's Basketball Coaches Association membership. These have all been a part of my great experiences in the last nine years at ICC. Lastly, I would like to thank my assistant coaches, notably Greg Martin, who has stood loyal to me and the program."
"I look forward to continuing with the same efforts on my next road forward and wish the program continued success," Garber concluded.
Sinclair added, "He has certainly brought the program success on the court as evidenced by his career win-loss record of 230-69 during his time as head coach. He has masterful knowledge of and commitment to the game. ICC is grateful for his contributions to the program and the college and wishes him well."
The college will conduct an open national search for Garber's replacement.

If a picture tells a thousand words then what on earth does this video say? Jadeveon Clowney enters his junior year with many saying that had he been eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft, he would have been the number one overall pick. A bold statement that has led many, including myself, to question the NFL's rule requiring three years of eligibility before entering the league (I might add that there are equally compelling arguments to maintain the status quo, including here). After flirting with the idea of sitting out 2013 to avoid injury, Clowney will take the field next season as the defensive frontrunner for the Heisman, albeit with a $5 million insurance policy against loss of earnings due to injury.
So what chance does Clowney have of winning an award that's practically unattainable for anyone on the defensive side of the ball? Each year, and rightly so, commentators reference the fact that the Heisman Trophy has become somewhat of a quarterbacks award, that the only position that has a hope of winning the award outside of a quarterback, is a running back. Commentators normally go on to say that the last player to win the Heisman on the defensive side of the ball was Charles Woodson in 1997, which for me, is somewhat of a misnomer.
Yes, Woodson did play cornerback and yes, Woodson did win the award in 1997 but he didn't win it because of what he did on defense. In his Heisman year, Woodson made 44 tackles - including 5 for a loss - broke up 9 passes and caught 8 interceptions, none of which were returned for touchdowns. As far as I can tell – and I must say, it's very difficult to find comprehensive stats of Woodson's Heisman year – he forced no fumbles and recovered no fumbles. It should be noted that Michigan went undefeated that season on the way to winning a share of the national championship. Don't get me wrong, those are good numbers but they're not Heisman numbers; to put them into perspective, in 2009 when the Texas Longhorns made the BCS National Championship, Earl Thomas made 65 tackles – including 4.5 for a loss – broke up 9 passes and caught 8 interceptions of which 2 were returned for touchdowns. Thomas's numbers are practically identical to Woodson's, if not better, and Texas also had a successful season, yet I don't remember anyone screaming that Thomas was worthy of a Heisman vote. The reason that Charles Woodson won the Heisman was because he played in all three phases of the game. He rushed for 41 yards on 5 carries for a touchdown and caught 12 receptions for 238 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 301 yards on punt returns and another touchdown. He played on 765 of Michigan's snaps; 613 on defense, 69 on offense, and 83 on special teams.
So if Charles Woodson wasn't the last pure defensive player to win the Heisman, who was? Answer: nobody. Ernie Davis, Leon Hart and Larry Kelley are other notable names that won the Heisman after playing both offense and defense but no pure defensive player has ever won the Heisman Trophy. That's right, the award given to "the most outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity" in a single season has never been awarded to anyone that played solely defense. It's not looking good, Jadeveon.
The only two players on defense to even have a sniff of winning the Heisman in recent memory are Ndamukong Suh and Manti Te'o. If Ndamukong Suh was only good enough for fourth in the Heisman voting in 2009 and Manti Te'o was a runner up last season - two players who had about as dominating seasons as any on the defensive side of the ball - what hope does Clowney have? Well quite a lot actually. Clowney has something that neither Suh nor Te'o had. Hype.
Suh threw offensive lineman and quarterbacks around like rag dolls for much of 2009 but it wasn't until the Big 12 Championship game against Texas where he sacked Colt McCoy 4.5 times and had 6 tackles for a loss that much of America truly knew who he was. It was a little too late to make any real noise in New York, hence his fourth place positioning. Had he played in Alabama crimson rather than Nebraska red it might have been a different story. When Manti Te'o sealed Notre Dame's victory in Norman over 15 Oklahoma with an interception, he formerly catapulted himself into the Heisman conversation. The only trouble with that was it took until week 9 to reach the level of legitimate contender. Had he been entrenched as a favourite from the outset, maybe he could have beat out Johnny Manziel.
I'm not saying that you have to be a frontrunner from word go to win the Heisman, plenty of unknowns and dark horses have emerged from the pack. You won't be able to find a single person in the pre-season that thought the last three winners would win the Heisman ("Cam who? The kid that played JUCO last season, no chance"; "the skinny sprinter out of Waco that tore up his knee? Yeah right"; "a freshman to win the Heisman? Are you for real?") When it comes to defensive players however, I think the only realistic chance they have of winning the Heisman is if they're in the public eye from the outset and the media hype machine is preaching to the masses from day one. Te'o had all the stats, the on-field performance, the off-field sob story, the national championship contending team, the gold Notre Dame helmet and yet still fell short. I think that Clowney has more of a hope than anyone else in recent history because of the stigma surrounding him already, six months before the season even kicks off.
So what will it take for Jadeveon Clowney to win the Heisman? He might have the media hype already in the bag but he'll obviously need to produce on the field. Last season he made 54 tackles including – are you ready for it? – 23.5 for a loss (!!!). 44% of the tackles he made were behind the line of scrimmage, including that monster hit on the unsuspecting Michigan running back in the Outback Bowl that I linked to above. In addition that, Clowney sacked the quarterback 13 times, hurried him 5 other times, forced 3 fumbles, recovered 1 and swatted 2 balls at the line of scrimmage. A truly heroic effort that leaves you understanding exactly why he was touted as a potential number one overall pick had he been eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft. If he can replicate and better these numbers, he'll undoubtedly be in the running.
The stats only tell half the story though. Watching Jadeveon Clowney makes you truly appreciate why he might be a legitimate Heisman contender. He explodes off the line of scrimmage with a freakish burst of speed; he's runs a 4.5 forty and you can see how when the ball is snapped. He matches his speed with elite strength to put offensive lineman on their back foot before relentlessly driving them back. He knows when to stop his rush and disengage from the blocker in an attempt to bat the ball down at the line. He has great awareness in the run game and almost effortlessly peels off blockers to make a play on the ball carrier; as can be seen by his tackles for a loss. He gets after the passer and flushes him out of the pocket with his speed. All in all, Clowney is a freakish athlete that could help make the South Carolina Gamecocks legitimate contenders in the SEC and consequently the BCS National Championship picture.
With no Alabama, LSU or Texas A&M on South Carolina's schedule, the Gamecocks have a great opportunity to run the table next season. They have a home game against Florida to get through plus Georgia and Arkansas on the road but any time the schedule reads Mississippi State and Arkansas from the SEC West rather than Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M or Auburn, you know you've dodged a bullet or two. If South Carolina is able to win the SEC East, Clowney will be in a good position in the Heisman race.
If a pure defensive player is going to win the Heisman, he'll need hype surrounding him from day one, monster stats on the field and a national championship contending team. He's got the media hype part alright. If South Carolina win the SEC and Clowney puts up similar numbers to a season ago year, he might just better Manti Te'o's runner up place. I'm not stupid, I know his chances are practically less than one percent; it's no coincidence the Heisman Memorial Trophy is a running back stiff-arming a defender. Nevertheless, he has a steep uphill climb ahead of him but if anyone has a chance, it's Jadeveon Clowney.

To the Editor:
Capt. Richard Ferrone spoke incorrectly about black bears. He was quoted as saying, "make sure you stay away from the cubs. They may be cute, cuddly cubs, but mother bear won't take kindly."
Black bears do not get upset if someone is between the mother and her cubs. Lynn Rogers, PhD, has lived with bears and studied them for 40+ years. He has written that mother Black Bears do not defend their cubs against people, she sends the cubs up a tree and waits until humans leave and then she calls them down.
Even the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife site says "sows will vocalize to cubs when sensing danger and both adults and cubs will run away and climb trees to escape disturbances."
There are no reports of a treed bear coming down and hurting anyone. They wait for the neighborhood to calm down at night so they can climb down and head for solitude. Black bears are "aggressive" only in the minds of people who know nothing about bears. Black Bears are not Grizzly Bears.
To avoid attracting a bear to homes, it is important to properly secure garbage and pet food. Especially this time of year, bears are attempting to fatten up for hibernation. If people yell, stomp on the ground, wave their arms and back away slowly, the bear will make a fast retreat. Air horns, supersoaker water guns, rocks and pepper spray are also very effective tools for chasing away bears. So are pop-open umbrellas.
Taking action to reinstill the bears' natural fear of humans is called "aversive conditioning." People are 247 times more likely to be killed by lightning and 60,000 times more likely to be murdered by another human being than to be hurt by a black bear.

Predictions for corporate travel this year
WITH the British economy set to stagnate this year and on-going pressures on travel budgets, what lies in wait for the corporate travel market in 2012?
Cilla Goldberger, Managing Director of business travel management company ABT UK, reveals her predictions for the year ahead:
"Safety never takes a day off!"
Following a turbulent year dominated by uprisings in the Middle East, riots across the UK and unrest throughout Europe due to the Eurozone crisis, safety concerns will be the number one priority for business travel in 2012. Rigorous issues and crisis management procedures, including detailed repatriation plans, will be requested and analysed by existing and potential clients.
The airborne office takes flight
2012 will see inflight mobile phone and wireless internet connectivity become a reality. As such, air travel will no longer be an opportunity for business travellers to escape the office and seek peace and quiet in the sky.
24-7-365 service expected as standard
Time is the most valuable commodity for business travellers. As a result, clients expect to be able to call and speak directly with a knowledgeable travel consultant at anytime from anywhere in the world. ABT UK already provides as standard for all clients an in-house 24-7-365 Emergency Travel Helpdesk manned by a dedicated team of specialist consultants.
In-house IT innovation slowdown
As internal resource cuts bite deeper, businesses will be looking to external suppliers including travel management companies (TMCs) to deliver ever more creative ways of doing business, particularly on the international stage.
Budgets, People, Planet - in that order
The relentless squeeze on travel budgets will ensure that, for the first time, cost will override staff and green travel considerations. While the bottom line will rule in 2012, TMCs have an opportunity to add real value through tailor-made customer services.

Such trepidation swirls around even the mention of soufflé, but for the brave baker that dares attempt this notorious dessert, unparalleled reward awaits. The chorus of oohs and ahhs that rises when a beautifully puffed soufflé is presented is unmatched.
Truthfully, a soufflé is nothing more than a drama queen; a very delicious drama queen mind you, but not worthy of causing you to quake with fear at the thought of attempting to make one. As a cook you need to know this, whereas it's just fine if your guests continue to be stunningly impressed with the miraculous result you place before them. Unfortunately my soufflé lost it's grandeur during the time it took to be photographed—drama queen.
There are a few key tips to ensure a dramatically puffy success, but it's nothing complicated. Susan, of She's Becoming Doughmestic was brave enough to put all of us Tuesdays with Dorie Bakers to the test by selecting the Chocolate Soufflé recipe for us to make this week.
The keys to soufflé success lie in baking it in a straight sided dish, properly beating the egg whites and properly folding the ingredients together. This combined with a nice hot oven and you will be all set to truly impress the people you feed. I don't expect you to take my word for it, or even Dorie Greenspan's word for it. I give you the grand dame of French cooking instruction, Julia Child herself, demonstrating a cheese soufflé.
This video is from The French Chef series, circa 1972, and will be the most enjoyable 28 minutes you have spent in a long time. She is larger than life with so much charm and skill. Enjoy, and then click over to Susan's blog for Dorie Greenspan's recipe for Chocolate Soufflé.

Following up on Jeff Friday's exclusive piece for us last week about the importance and relevance of black film festivals (HERE), and a conversation I had on this very subject about the Cannes Film Festival and black filmmaker this past weekend, with a close friend of mine, I decided to revise and expand on a piece I wrote for S & A over two years ago.
Why aren't we at Cannes? We, meaning African-American filmmakers.
But let me back up for a second…
Several commenters to Friday's piece responded that the only film festivals that really matter to filmmakers are those that are also film markets such as Cannes, Toronto or Sundance. Festivals where not only films are shown, but where film projects are pitched and films are bought and sold.
O.K., fair enough. Maybe they have a valid point. Perhaps those are the festivals that really only matter. So if that's the case, and African American filmmakers should be concentrating on being at film markets selling their films to foreiegn markets, then why aren't they at Cannes?
True, there are always a few here and there every year, but not even remotely in the same numbers as other filmmakers. Latino filmmakers, Asian filmmakers, filmmakers from every far flung country around the globe are there in force.
And to be perfectly clear, I'm not talking about African filmmakers who, of course, are always at Cannes, even holding an annual party and major events at Cannes every year. Last year, South Africa brought over some 130 filmmakers at Cannes to screen their films, or just to represent and promote themselves and the SA film industry.
But as for African American filmmakers, a pitiful few, if that. Why is that?
AA filmmakers I've talked to, who have been to Cannes, have told me how AA filmmakers are pathetically under-represented at the festival. One filmmaker once told me that, the year she was there, the only other black American film she saw represented at Cannes was Hood of Horror with Snoop Dogg, which was being sold to foreign territories..
Another AA filmmaker who was there last year, when I asked if there were other AA filmmakers, just laughed and gave me an "Are you kidding?" look.
Remember, I'm not talking about AA films being screened at the festival, either in or out of competition. That's not the important point.
I'm talking about AA filmmakers going to Cannes to schmooze, meet people, to learn more about the business and possibly even making a deal. And to further add, it doesn't have to be a "black" film, however you define it, for an AA filmmaker to be pitching at Cannes.
And also keep in mind that I'm not talking about staying at The Carlton, eating at expensive restaurants and going to private VIP parties. But instead, staying in a hostel or with a group of people, sharing a one bedroom hotel room, sleeping on the floor, eating once a day and trying to meet people, or setting up screenings of your film in a small rented theater in a hotel room. Which is what almost 90% of the people who attend Cannes really do. They just act like big shots.
I'm reminded of the story about Fred "The Hammer" Williamson after he self-financed, produced and directed his first film many years ago. He went to Cannes flat broke and couldn't afford any major advertising to do there. So he hired a couple of models for a day for a few bucks (It wasn't hard. They're everywhere at the festival hoping to be discovered). He had them wear tight T shirts with the title of his film on the front, and had them walk up and down the Croisette passing out flyers with information about screenings of his film, to anyone who looked even remotely important.
By the time Williamson left Cannes, not only had he made his money back selling his film to several foreign distributors, he made a huge profit as well.
And come to think of it, why hasn't Tyler Perry been at Cannes?
He finances his own films and he can certainly afford a major promotional push for them at Cannes, and can even book a suite of rooms at the Carlton. He has said several times before that he wants to get into the overseas market, so why not try? Isn't that the only reason he cast Kimmy Kakes and her non-acting plastic ass in his latest film Temptation, and gave her second billing above the title in order to attract a broader audience? He may be very successful or he might not make a single foreign sale, but at least he can say that he gave it a shot.
And I know some people will say that AA films don't "travel" and that the overseas market for them is limited. Well tell that to all those African filmmakers who come to Cannes every year. I don't think they feel the same way. This is a global film world, and too many AA filmmakers still have a provincial mindset.
I've asked this question about the lack of AA filmmakers at Cannes to other AA filmmakers, and usually the response I get is a blank expression, or a shrug of the shoulder, or something along the lines of: "Well we're not educated about it…" or "Maybe if some programs were established to help…" You mean someone has to lead you by the hand like a little kid? Seriously?
We're in the 21st century now. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out how to just get a ticket, fly there, get in the mix and just see what happens.
And what I say about Cannes also goes for Toronto, Sundance, Berlin or whatever international film markets are out there.
So what do you say?
April Russell | May 6, 2013 2:50 PM
I will be at Cannes this year. This is my second year traveling to Cannes. Will you be there? I would love to connect.
April Q. Russell

[Stereotype] you want to hide something from a black person, put it in a book.
There should be more information out there to educate AA filmmakers on Cannes.
[Blacks who been to Cannes] if you need someone to hold your hand you shouldn't be there. If you want a guide you shouldn't be there. If you want to learn something don't read just go and learn first hand.
The only black people who should Have an elitist attitude about their craft are athletes. They are the only ones blowing their racial competition out of the water.
Larry | January 28, 2013 4:23 PM
The reason black people are underespresented at Cannes is too many of the black celebrities in the business don't understand the business, this comes with the hustle mentality , I see too mnay black celebrites embrace this instead of thinking like businessmen and businesswomen. Too many black people and celebrites also buy into the streotypes black films don't do well overseas. Trust me theres a market for black stories overseas, I'm going by my love of foreign films to be introduced to different cultures and ways of telling stories, so I have to believe there is a lot of people in other parts of the world that will love films about black people to be introduced to stories different from their culture. Until we stop looking at films as a hustle and instead look at it as a art and business, we will continue having these repetitive conversations yaer in and year out. If youre a filmmaker,actor , and producer and you never heard of cannes and what's it's about that already tell me you got a limited sense of business, because if you don't understand why going to cannes in or out of competition makes business sense you are planning on doing limited business then turn around and wonder why black films don't do well overseas. I'm glad you highlighted Fred The Hammer Williamson, I've been telling people for years I respected his business sense more than other black celebrity because he used the system to make a lane for himself, when the blaxploitation films died out in the late 70's, he went to Italy and became a box office star over their in films he produced himself and starred in. He did the movie One Down Two to go by himself, in a time when studios weren't releasing any black films to theaters. The other stars Richard Roundtree, Jim Brown, and Jim Kelly movie careers had dried up by this time, but the Hammer was still going strong because of his business sense. He made this move to put those guys back into the spotlight. This is how we should be doing business.

Smell that? You smell that? What? Napalm y'all. Nothing in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time I woke up to... that smell [sniffing, pondering] that smell of victory. And now I smelling the intoxicating smell of Michele and Candace Allen's perfume. They're wearing a fragrance that takes a little time and patience to acquire, but when one snuggles close to it's alluring charm, they will know that victory stands near.
The fragrance they wear is WISDOM.
Take a whiff-->"I learned from a really smart hardass mentor that you can't make excuses. Perhaps it sounds harsh, but the world only has doers and doubters." ... "As far as Cannes is concerned -- and I mean both the organization itself and the folks who attend in whatever capacity -- it is the BIG TIME and those wanting a training manual just are NOT ready. If you [think] you want in, you go and you learn, both the high and the low [or keep your behind at home and talk about it] "
Yes ma'am, I smell yawl. And I love the smell of wisdom.
Ronda Racha Penrice | January 28, 2013 10:27 AM
Michele, getting to Cannes is not like going to Toronto or Miami or L.A. First of all, you have to fly to Nice and then get to Cannes so you can't even go there directly. Trust me, it helps a lot if you speak French. But, more than that, if you con't know what a festival offers you, you won't make the investment. Since going, I have told filmmaker friends that they need to make it a priority but we are talking about a good $3000 trip on the cheap. That's not small change. As, with anything, networking is key. Film is an especially collaborative business. It's not about someone holding your hand. Access is very crucial. Education is critical. A lot of times those of us on the inside think it's so easy and makes so much common sense to do certain things but, when you are not privy to what those certain things are, it's just not on your radar. I am not making excuses for any artists. I have been to Cannes so I am not guessing about it. And when I go again, I will have a different game plan. I know people of color who have planned and executed film festivals who are unaware of all that Cannes offers. I worked in film and didn't know myself until I went. I think this post is important because it informs filmmakers that they should be there. Now we have to take it a step further and let them know how to get there. If that's hand-holding then I'd rather hold your hand and know that you got to the opportunity than sit up in my Ivory Tower passing judgment on those who didn't know. We have to get back to truly trying to help each other if we are ever going to get any further.
Akim | January 28, 2013 9:57 AM
This is stupid. We're at these festivals, we're just not there in high numbers, but that shouldn't be a surprise, and I'm not ready to make blanket statements like this saying that we're not there. It's not fair to those who are there hustling like everybody else. You make a lot of assertions Sergio, but not much data to back up what you're saying. Do you have numbers that say there are so many Latino filmmakers, so many Asian filmmakers, so many African filmmakers at Cannes but only this many, or no African American filmmakers? If not then you're just making assumptions based on what you've heard from a couple of people. Have YOU been to Cannes Sergio? Do you have firsthand experience there to be able to say so assuredly the things that you're saying? If you don't, and you haven't actually done any research yourself, then you why should anyone take this article seriously? Come on son.
Michele | January 28, 2013 9:36 AM
âWell weâre not educated about itâ¦â or âMaybe if some programs were established to helpâ¦â You mean someone has to lead you by the hand like a little kid? Seriously? -- I'm down with you Sergio, seriously. No one knows how to google film festivals? This is like a fashion designer saying they don't know anything about fashion week. When you go into a creative medium it's YOUR job to figure our how to expose your work to the right people in order for it to be a success. You do it by any means necessary, and if it doesn't work. TRY AGAIN. You're either about making excuses or making money.
Ronda Racha Penrice | January 28, 2013 9:06 AM
Of course it's expensive to travel to Cannes so that is a problem for many people but I think, more importantly, AA filmmakers don't know that Cannes is really a marketplace for film. I went in '09 and was amazed by how much of a marketplace it truly was and what tremendous opportunities it represented. I don't think hand-holding is needed but education would be wise. Going to see it for yourself does wonders. From the outside looking in, Cannes seems so chi chi and only about the films that are selected from screening. Many filmmakers just don't realize that it's really a major gateway for foreign distribution. I do think the American Pavilion can do a better job of promoting itself and, also, people need basic info like when to go, where to stay, how to get a phone, where to eat for cheap, etc. If all of that information was provided and they still didn't go, it would be on them but we have to realize that many people are not courageous enough to just go into the unknown. Also, there might be real dangers. I was in a group and trailed behind and a white French man grabbed my butt. It was very unsettling so you have to be careful. You can get along without speaking French but it helps a lot more to speak French. I was fortunate I was with people who spoke some French. It cannot be overstated. Also I think the festival itself can do better outreach. You can't blame people for not really knowing what something is. That's why outlets like these are so important.

Hello Caps fans, you may know me as a more recent member of Japers' Rink. I am MapleMan (formerly my user name was "Joey Kirby"). I'm sure I am different from most members on this site because of two things; I am still a teenager and I am from Canada (so when you read this, if you think it's terrible, just remember, I'm young). This is probably my first post in about a year. So, go on ahead and read up this long post I typed up whilst staying at home on a Friday evening pondering the future events which this season holds for the Caps.
After a rough initial start to the season for the Washington Capitals, they sit tied for third in the somewhat weak Southeast Division, they currently sit tied with the Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers. The Caps, Jets, and Cats all sit two points behind second place Tampa Bay and six points behind first place Carolina. The Capitals have played the most games in their division so far with 14, this puts them just under 1/3 of the way through the year, and at some point or time Ted Leonsis, George McPhee and Management must make a decision on the possible fate of the 2013 season for the Caps. Their options are quite straight forward, they either buy, sell, or stay the course and make no change.
The first decision for the Caps is to govern the rest of the year from a buyers perspective. The Capitals currently sit at 11th in the league for GF/G (Goals for per game) and 28th in the league for GA/G (Goals against per game). The offense has been surprisingly well to me, I honestly did not think they would be that high. The defense does look terrible on paper, but I would think that would be attributed heavily to shoddy goaltending from both highly touted goaltenders Braden Holtby (0.877 SV%, 3.89 GAA) and Michal Neuvirth (.889 SV%, 3.05 GAA). Though the goaltending has been bad, there has been somewhat of as weak spot on the back end of the defense also with John Erskine often seeing some top four defenseman minutes. Even after all this, I still think that if the Caps are to be buyers at the deadline they should look into gaining more offence, they need more of a goal scorer threat on the top two forward lines if they want to be a quality playoff team. I just don't see Troy Brouwer and Jason Chimera as being enough. I'm confident the defenseman and both goaltenders will see much improvement throughout the remainder of the year. I also don't even slightly like the idea of trading off offensive talents such as Kuznetsov or Forsberg.
If the Capitals are to go with the sellers route, I see several pieces that playoff teams might want to acquire to attempt to push their squad over the top. Tom Poti, Roman Hamrlik and John Erskine are veteran presences on the back end, all three with totally different styles on the back end. Poti could provide a team with a bottom four defenseman with a history of being a solid offensive defenseman, he could see powerplay time. Roman Hamrlik could assist a playoff team with a good two way defensive game, he could be an addition to the powerplay and penalty kill unit, probably best suited to a bottom four spot, he has shown the ability to be a serviceable top four in the past few years though. Big John Erskine is a stay at home defenseman who plays a physical game, he hasn't exactly seen constant playing time with the Capitals as he is going into his sixth year with the organization as he averages about 50 games per season. There is no denying that Erskine provides a presence though, he hits hard, willing shot blocker, and he sticks up for his teammates (evident by his 700+ PIMS in 400+ GP in the league). On offense they do not have a whole lot to give up in terms of game changers, Wojtek Wolski could be a trade piece, but I'd prefer to keep him as he could be a solid 2nd-3rd scorer for a cheap price, just have to hope he stays healthy. Marcus Johansson is a definite trade piece, but I see his trade value as very low right now, it'd be best off just to keep him rather than sell low. The primary pieces I see for the Caps to sell is perhaps a few of the the plethora of grinders this team has to offer such as Troy Brouwer, Joel Ward, Matt Hendricks, Joey Crabb, or Jay Beagle. These players could assist a playoff team heavily in their forward depth on the bottom two lines. Forward depth is one of the better strengths for the Caps that I see, lots of solid grinders on this team, but there is also a good price tag to go along with a few in particular, Troy Brouwer will earn 3.66 million for the next three years, whilst Joel Ward will earn 3 million for the next two.
Finally, the last option is just to stay the course and attempt to make the playoffs with the team they've got right now. This is the wisest move in my eyes, the Caps currently have Brooks Laich and Dmitry Orlov injured, when they come back this team gets much, much better. Look on the good and bad side of this move; if they are to make the playoffs it is great, they have the opportunity to compete for the Cup once again. If they do not make the playoffs, it is definitely not the end of the world, they can get a decent draft pick in next years draft (which is going to be a strong draft class) and they could come back as an even better team (especially on offense) if players such as Evgeny Kuznetsov or Filip Forsberg decide to come over from Europe, that would look like a very good top six offense on paper, lots of current talent, lots of future talent and potential, a great mix between youth and prime aged players.
So, tell me Caps fans, which direction do you think management should chose to go with for the remainder of the 2013 NHL Season?

A Houston sports and travel writer says the reports of the unsanitary conditions on board the Carnival Cruise Lines ship Triumph are all true. As the ship was pulling into Mobile Bay, she spoke with FOX 26 News by phone.
"This may be TMI, but we've been using red plastic bags to go to the bathroom," says Jayme Lamm. "We have a cabin on the second level and we haven't been back to the room because the smell is so terrible. It's excruciatingly terrible."
Passengers have been posting Twitter pictures of that they say is raw sewage on the deck. There are also pictures of tent cities on the deck so passengers could escape the dark and stench below.
Lamm says the crew has been wonderful, and she's seen a lot of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
"There is a family with a daughter with cerebral palsy. Anytime they have to switch floors, the father has to carry her and set her down. There are so many men who help and bring food to the elderly who can't move. As negative and as nasty as this situation is, it's reinforced my faith in humanity."

Once on baord all was well - the ship was lovely, the activites varied and interesting, the entertainment wonderful, the food suberb, the staff fantastic and the specialty restaurants a nice change for dining.
I think a lot of the problems could have been solved by quickly if communication was a bit more forward coming - they only had to explain what was happening and why and a lot more people would have been a lot more understanding - especially with the tendering process which was hampered by winds and choppy seas which did not allow for the ships tenders to be used. Also as the towns visited are quite small they did well to organise alternative tenders.
We met lots of lovely people and had a great time - we only did a few tours - one being cancelled to Whitehaven beach due to the weather - I think the tour operator running the great barrier reef tour should also have cancelled as it appeared not to be a very comfortable trip - but we ventured into town and had a good time.
The cabin was small but quite comfortable and appreciated my many towel friends that appeared in my room.
The pools were fabulous and it was a shme the weather wasnt good enough to take advantage of the outdoor screen for the movies etc most of the time.
Everyone was quite dissappointed that broome had been removed as a port but port headland turned out to be a real treat with great support from the town and welcoming people - the send off was amazing.
Bobby and Becky did a great job and were happy hosts.
All in all a great cruise - just need to communicate problems earlier rather than later.
