How M. Night Shyamalan lost power in 2004AGE 34
Shyamalan thought his name alone could turn The Village into a summer phenomenon. But after a $51 million opening weekend, audiences heeded the warning bell of lousy word of mouth, and the film struggled to make half of Signs' $228 million gross. Now many wonder if the onetime ''next Steven Spielberg'' is instead a one-trick pony.

MIDVALE, Utah — Jordan Ott was the third of his mother's six children, born over the course of four marriages.
By age 8, he'd had two step-dads; his brothers and sisters had more or fewer based on birth order. Each child also had different numbers of siblings, depending on whether their own dads fathered other children. Ott has one full sister, four half-siblings and at one point had three step-siblings "that I know of," he said. His own father has mostly lived far away.
His story is not uncommon today. More than half of babies of mothers under 30 are born to unmarried parents. The divorce rate among those who do marry exceeds 40 percent, according to the 2012 State of Our Unions report.
These statistics play out most often in the form of absent fathers—or the arrival and departure of serial father figures involved in romantic relationships with a child's mother. (Moms still usually retain custody in a breakup or divorce.) Twenty-four million American children—one in three—are growing up in homes without their biological fathers, the 2011 Census says. Children in father-absent homes, it notes, are almost four times more likely to be poor.
Like Ott, now 25, children may grow up with lots of father figures, but no real dad. Or they can be like Arvie Burgos, 17 and in foster care in Utah, who grew up in a virtually man-free zone.
Ott said he learned not to pay attention to stepfathers, even one he had for years. "If I did something wrong and needed discipline, he was all over it. Otherwise, we didn't have too much to do with each other."
Meanwhile, Burgos' sole significant male role model was a young man he saw a few hours each month courtesy of a Big Brothers program. His father had never been part of his life and his mother was a drug addict. He could count on his grandmother, but she died when he was 15, about the time his mentor moved away.
"I think there's consensus that cultural and family factors are causing children's family lives to be more unstable than in the past," said Andrew J. Cherlin, author of The Marriage-Go-Round and director of the Hopkins Population Center at Johns Hopkins University. Experts debate whether recent cultural shifts or economic changes most undermine family stability, but, said Cherlin, "most who I respect believe both are at play."
Most children weather family turmoil and wind up OK, said Cherlin, who coined the term "family churn" to describe what happens to families as couples split, often moving dad out of the home and a new man in. A study in the Journal of Marriage and Family said children in such homes experience an average of more than 5.25 partnership transitions. That's tough for kids who are used to having their own fathers within reach.
"Dad also helps with impulse control and memory and enhances a child's ability to respond effectively to new or ambiguous situations, for boys and girls," said Warren Farrell, author of Father and Child Reunion. Children who are close to their fathers tend to achieve more academically, while kids with absent fathers are more likely to drop out. Fathers are the biggest factor in preventing drug use, Farrell said.
The time a dad spends with his children is a particularly strong predictor of how empathetic a child will become, according to commission of experts who wrote a proposal asking President Obama to create a White House Council on Boys and Men. The group, which Farrell helped assemble, compiled research showing infants with dads living at home were months ahead in personal and social development. Children who lack contact with fathers are more likely to be treated for emotional or behavioral problems. Girls with absent or indifferent fathers are more prone to hyperactivity. If dad is around, girls are less likely to become pregnant as teens.
As early as 1993, studies showed that dads also influenced whether their sons became teenage fathers. A Temple University study found no boys born to teen mothers became teen fathers if they had close relationships with their biological fathers, compared to 15 percent of those who didn't have that closeness.
"None of this implies men are better as dads than women are as moms," Farrell and the commission emphasized. Children need both.
But dad's place is not always secure. The commission report said, "The U.S. has done a better job of integrating women into the workplace than in integrating men into the family—especially into the lives of children in the non-intact family. We have valued men as wallets more than as dads." The result is "moms feeling deprived of resources and dads feeling deprived of purpose and children feeling deprived of the full range of parenting input."

- Unbridled Cowboy
- By E. R. Fussell, Joseph B. Fussell. Truman State University Press. 278 pp. . $19.95.
- In this intriguing memoir, completed in 1947, Fussell describes his experiences on the rails and cattle trails of Texas and the Southwest from the 1880s through the Great Depression. A sixth-grade dropout with "itchy feet," Fussell left his east Texas home as a teenager to sample life in the dives of Fort Worth and El Paso, work the railroads from the Rio Grande to the Great Plains, operate undercover for the Texas Rangers, and drive cattle along the border and into Mexico, before settling down as a yardman for the Santa Fe line in Winslow, Arizona. Along the way, Fussell confesses to a dozen killings, more or less, including nine in cold blood. It seems uncharitable in so engaging a book, but in this age of James Frey and Jason Blair, readers will inevitably wonder, along with Fussell's grandson and editor, where fact leaves off and storytelling begins. It's a terrific read, but caveat emptor. [ ]
- Uncle Ernie's Guide to Old Time Rodeo
- By Ernie Bulow, Ernest Franklin. Sidewinder Publishing. 64 pp. $14.95.
- Enjoy a wild and wacky ride through the golden age of rodeo with author Ernie Bulow and close collaborator, artist and illustrator Ernest Franklin, both experts on rodeos and their lore
- Under the Bridge: Stories from the Border/Bajo el puente: Relatos desde la frontera
- By Rosario Sanmiguel. Aarte Publico Press. 232 pp. Seven bilingual short stories. $14.95.
- Rosario Sanmiguel spins seven heartfelt short stories about life on the U.S.-Mexico borderline of the Rio Grande
- Unfinished Masterpiece: The Harlem Renaissance Fiction of Anita Scott Coleman
- By Bruce A. Glasrud, Laurie Champion. Texas Tech University Press. 189 pp. $22.95.
- Coleman, a black school-marmish young woman, lived in New Mexico when about half of these tales were written (1920s), but locale is not her subject, nor is it particularly important. Instead, she writes of people, usually in the black (or as she would have said, Negro) community, and almost always her tales relate to the connections, or lack thereof, to the white community. Simple stories with powerful, almost allegorical, lessons, a few of them with obvious connections to our Southwest.

By Cintra Wilson
'I don't think my husband would like it,' Beecroft replies, simply. 'Had I been younger and just entering my sexual life and sexual identity, I certainly would have done.'
She begins to blush and stammer, looking a bit like a 17-year-old boy, summoning the courage of his convictions.
'For a long time, I thought I was transgender. I thought I literally was a gay man trapped in a woman's body. Now I'm just confused. I don't really identify with either gender. But it's taken me 40 years to get to this point.'
Erastes confesses similar feelings, albeit less conflicted.
'If I fantasize or watch porn, I watch gay porn, and I consider myself to be the penetrative man. But I'm very much bisexual; gender doesn't really bother me. When it comes to a relationship, it's a person. If I were going to have a woman partner for long term, then it would have to be somebody who understood the whole slash thing as well.'
Beecroft concurs: A lover would need to understand the 'slash thing.'
'Wait,' I ask, trying to take this in. 'So slash is really the end zone? Slash is the sexuality. Is slash part of the sexuality, or it is the whole thing?'
Both women agree: Slash is the whole thing. For both of them, and presumably for a number of their fans as well, slash, in itself, literally is sex.
'OK, slash is the sex,' I say, absorbing this revelation. 'So why would you be wanting anyone to take the sex out of the sex?'
'I don't know whether I'm taking sex all the way out,' Beecroft says. 'I identify with my lads. I want to be a man. I want to be a man fighting, a man thinking, sitting at his desk writing, as well as doing sex. All of it. Being a human being. Being a man at work is just as exciting as the sex.'
As Larry Flynt once discovered, erotic fantasies are all fun and games until somebody goes to hell. For Beecroft, who calls herself a 'quite committed Christian,' the hardest thing wasn't coming to terms with her gender identity, but reconciling slash with her religion. 'The married-with-children straight-woman part of my life is external. It's part of the truth, but it's a hell of a lot more complicated than that.'
After discovering slash and happily reveling in it for a couple of years, Beecroft had an internal crisis. 'Suddenly, it hit me: Sins of the imagination are sins too. So if homosexuality is a sin and if I'm getting pleasure from thinking about homosexuality -- if I think of myself inside as being like a gay man -- I must be sinning. I went through this huge thing in which I thought I was damned.'
Ultimately, Beecroft found consolation in books like John J. McNeill's The Church and the Homosexual and other works explicitly written for gay men trying to reconcile their own identities with their church. 'To come out of that, I had to [become] a different, liberal Christian: less frightened, less legalistic. It's been a fantastic thing for my Christianity.'
Beecroft's internal struggle found its way into her romantic M/M fiction: John, the captain in False Colors, struggles to reconcile his homosexual love with his identity as a Quaker. The 'most meaningful letter' Beecroft ever received, she says, was from a man who used a scene from False Colors to help a Christian friend who was agonizing over coming out of the closet after being married. 'That was probably my most treasured piece of feedback,' she says, blushing.
The world, however, has not quite caught up to the broad-mindedness of Alex and Erastes -- there is friction even within the slash community itself, which considers M/M romance a sellout. 'There's quite a bit of controversy, because straight women 'shouldn't' write this stuff,' says Beecroft. 'If I don't write about women, I'm a 'misogynist.' If I'm writing gay porn, I'm oppressing gay men, because I'm doing to gay men what [straight] men do to lesbians. That's wrong. It's not like that. It's complicated. People are complicated.'
Does she still struggle?
'No, not a bit,' Beecroft says with mounting emotion. 'If I didn't write this, I would be being false to who I am. I am as I am because God made me like this. Should I be writing this stuff at all? Should I be trying to ignore it and write something else that is socially acceptable? No. If my characters can stand up and say, 'This is who I am, and I'm gonna do it -- ' '
-- indeed, so can she.
Driving me back to the train station, Beecroft sighs. The whole problem is going to go away eventually, she says. M/M romance is such a rapidly expanding market, it will inevitably become 'normal' -- a part of the cultural landscape, right on the shelves in the romance section of your neighborhood Barnes & Noble (though not, perhaps, Walmart or Target, which still refuse to stock Running Press's M/M titles).
'It's all about tolerance, right? When people accept that these things exist -- that women like M/M, that sex comes in any assortment of genders and preferences -- then we will all tolerate each other.'
I'm reminded of a clip from the TV show RuPaul's Drag U, in which a woman felt unable to wear a dress because she had once been sexually assaulted. 'Girl, you need to feel safe in your body,' a drag queen told her. It was moving to watch a drag queen restoring femininity to a woman whose pleasure in dresses had been stolen from her. It was really about the transference of courage: because where, save for a few neighborhoods in a handful of major cities, is a drag queen ever really safe?
M/M fans already know (and the rest of the world must catch up eventually) that love abhors all limitations, and gender is among the least of these. If the courage of the gay man inside Alex Beecroft inspires her to live openly and proudly as a heterosexual Christian wife -- who are we to judge?

8 Digital Boundaries with multiple parts
Another situation that you will come across when using digital boundary datasets is when you have a single geographical region that is made up from 2 or more individual geometry parts.
You can see this above. Here we have a single census Output Area 35UCGE0005, the geographical extent of which is held as multiple individual polygons. This is an area of the Northumbrian coastline in north-east England with the small polygons to the top right of the map being small sparsely populated islands in the North Sea. Rather than each island being assigned an Output Area of it`s own the islands are grouped together with a larger Output Area located on the mainland.
Or alternatively each part can form a record in its own right.
This situation where a single geographic region has multiple geometry occurs frequently within UK digital boundary datasets. You will often see this happening around the coastline – Scotland with all of it`s islands is particularly good for this. The same thing will happen when geographical regions are split by other natural features such as rivers. Sometimes though (particularly in statistical boundaries) the regions are deliberately split. This occurs throughout census Output Areas where a single Output Area may be broken into a number disjoint parts.

Another ex-Yankee is busted.
Joe Girardi will have to decide on his playoff rotation soon.
The Yankees lost to Tampa, 15-8.
The trade deadline is less than a week away.
Bartolo Colon bounced back last night, but the Yankees lost, 3–2.
He lasted less than an inning.
Cliff Lee helped out the team he spurned, while the Yankee bats pounded Zack Greinke in the Bronx.
They won three games against Cleveland but lost Bartolo Colon to an injury.
He threw a four-hit shutout yesterday.
The Blue Jays scored five times off Bartolo Colon in the sixth inning last night.
After Mariano Rivera blew the save, the Yankees won in fifteen.
How will baseball react to advances in medicine?
But they do know he doesn't have thoracic outlet syndrome.
He threw eight brilliant innings last night in a win over the White Sox.
The Yankees beat Toronto 6–2.
Ivan Nova's all but locked up a starting job, but the race for the fifth spot in the rotation has gotten interesting.
In our weekly look at the race for the final two spots in the Yankees rotation, Ivan Nova impresses, and the first candidates officially fall out of the picture.
There's a new leader, barely, for the No. 4 spot in the Yankees rotation.
Where do the candidates for the final two spots stand, now that everyone's gotten a chance to pitch?

We are so grateful that edWeb was involved and so supportive of the 2014 National Farm to Cafeteria Conference! THANK YOU for all you did to help spread the word! You have been such great partners and we definitely look forward to working together in the future.
edWeb has substantially raised our visibility with new audiences. Through our community features and webinars, we are able to promote thought leadership, professional learning, and audience participation around our mission. The monthly webinars have been phenomenal. They have helped us consistently reach large and international audiences, and have taken the burden off of of us to coordinate, manage, and promote webinars. I highly recommend edWeb's professional learning community services.
I want to share my advocacy for being a partner for edWeb. I know that our prospects have heard about these webinars and the edWeb Autism community (they let us know!) In fact, we had one customer in a sales meeting mention this specific webinar to her immediate supervisor and she described it as part of the professional development resources available via VizZle. It is so cool when the marketing you do actually gets noticed! We feel this presence has helped us expand both brand recognition of VizZle as well as our presence as a thought leader in this space. There are many benefits of being a partner with edWeb.
This was a great webinar! Thank you all for the hard work each of you put into making this webinar such a success, great comments/conversations from the attendees in the chat box.
Luana Mitten, Director of Instructional Services, Rourke Educational Media
We've really enjoyed working with edWeb. Everyone on your team has been so responsive and helpful. It made everything so much easier. EdWeb is a wonderful resource for teachers and value for the education community as a whole.
David's webinar is a terrific example of the kind of creative, multiplatform content TFK can provide–invaluable for teachers and a wonderful way to show kids the world, and how TIME can guide them literally to the ends of the earth.
Joe Sanfelippo, edWeb presenter and Superintendent and Elementary Principal of the Fall Creek School District in Fall Creek, Wisconsin
The work you are doing at edWeb is outstanding and needs to be in the hands of more people. Leaders have to do a better job of modeling the learning process. Thanks again for the opportunity to present.
Becky Conners, President of FableVision
Thank you each and every one of you for ALL your support! Julia and I had a blast – and we appreciated everyone going the extra mile! If you ever need anyone to endorse the platform please feel free to send folks to us. Your entire team make it SO easy…. It was truly a wonderful experience….
Jaime Joyce, Assistant Managing Editor, Education, TIME For Kids
Thanks so much! It's great to see all the comments rolling in and to be able to respond to teachers. I was especially moved by one of the comments, which was that with all the budget cuts in this teacher's district there was no money for professional development, and that they'd turned to EdWeb to fill that need. You guys are really providing a great service. Glad we can be a part of it.

Where are our PAL ladies? How you doing?
Just wanted to also point out that IVillage has a board for those of you expecting after a loss I can understand how hard it may be to post on an EC early on in your pregnant. I found it easier to talk about the feelings that go along with expecting after a loss (I lost a baby at 16 weeks before having my rainbow baby) Anyways here is the link (post here as well!!)

EAU CLAIRE -- The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire University Symphony Orchestra will begin its first concert of the 1997-98 academic year at 4 p.m. Nov. 2 in Gantner Concert Hall of the Fine Arts Center.
Performances include "The Third Symphony in F Major," op. 90 by Johannes Brahms, and "Death and Transfiguration," op. 24 by Richard Strauss. Both composers lived through the Romantic period.
"'The Third Symphony by Brahms' reveals his mastery of orchestration combined with powerful and sentimental expression," said Nobuyoshi Yasuda, conductor. "'Death and Transfiguration' is a romantic tone poem, which tells of a man fighting for life on his deathbed. And in delirium he recalls his past and finds spiritual release-transfiguration in death."
Yasuda, who also conducts the Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra, said both compositions are challenging. However, the members of the University Symphony Orchestra accept the challenge and are excited to perform them on Nov. 2, he said.
The cost is $5 for the public; $4 for ages 17 and under, 62 and over, and faculty and staff; or $1.50 for students with a UW-Eau Claire ID.

When Ellie was in Kindergarten and Lorelei was an infant I noticed something-- there is a surprising amount of overlap between "learning to read" books and books for infants and toddlers. Both use a very few, simple words. Both are typically illustrated very literally, so that the illustration exactly matches the text. While illustrations can be widely varied and beautiful, many of the best being like small art galleries, they don't always make for the most inspiring read text-wise. Especially when you are reading them over and over and over again. Of course, the main functions of these types of books are different than those of a good picture book or read-aloud. They are designed to foster word (or language) acquisition or decoding-- not to titillate with a well-turned phrase. No wonder, then, that they are often pretty... uninspiring for the adult reader. So before you yawn your way through another rendition of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (a great book, by the way-- but even the best can use some new neighbors now and again), check out these titles and add some fresh ink to your shelf.

[With Four Drawings]
[Read before the Royal Society of New South Wales, December 1,
(Note: Clicking on images will open a larger version of them)
The rapid progress of aeronautics is hampered and delayed by the want of a method of ensuring automatic longitudinal and transversal stability. To remove this obstacle I repeat or refer to such knowledge as has come under my notice, my own previously expressed views, and also describe and exhibit my last experiments and explain their novelty and utility.
We find that Dr. Thomas Young 1 proved in 1800, that a certain curved surface suspended by a thread approached an impinging air current, instead of receding from it. This surface was a reverse curve like Fig. 16, Plate XVII, this Journal, Vol. XXXI, 1897.
This curve has been worried over and tried by many kite and flying machine men with no appreciable success, or it would be used in all the flyers of to-day. Then there are my papers, " On the Cellular Kite, 2 and on "Aeronautics." 3 Then we have the all important article by W. R. Turnbull, on "Form and Stability of Aeroplanes." 4
A careful reading of the articles and matter referred to will make it clear that the road was paved with velvet and I had only to dance along it and make
(1) One section of a multiple planed flying machine with reverse curves and which possessed automatic stability.
(2) Design and make a suitable type of motor.
(3) Make a working model.
The scale drawing (Fig. 1) shows in every detail the method of combining two reverse curves so that they shall be permanently stable, not only longitudinally but transversely. It shows how rigidity of form is maintained without the use of diagonal ties of any sort. It shows how any number of sections may be united to support any weight. It shows that the limit of weight that the ordinary monoplane or biplane soon reaches, is easily passed by the substitution of arithmetical for geometrical progression in the proportions of the lifting areas. It shows the futility of applying reverse curves to the ordinary flying machines if they are rigidly attached thereto, because the combined inertia of motor, passengers, heavy struts, stays, etc., effectually masks and prevents the instant action of the light reverse curves in automatically adjusting themselves to every gust and tremor in the air.
The type of motor most suitable for driving rigid stable aeroplanes is the two-stroke spring engine (Fig. 2a, b). This scale drawing shows two views of the first one I have made; it was designed to flap the four wings 120 degrees for each explosion. Numerous errors in the strength and proportion of its various parts cannot be altered without beginning anew. The sketch shows the wing arc had to be reduced to 90 degrees to suit the exhaust ports and compression space; it also shows how the main cranks and spring cranks are arranged so that the curve of the torque produced by the spring tension, shall, when plotted on the theoretical indicator diagram, fall about midway between the explosion and compression lines.
This is the cycle of events. The wings are moved several times by hand to charge the crank chamber with mixture, which flows on through the external pipe and inlet valve to the compression space and cylinder. The hands are then withdrawn from the wings, and the springs at once flap the wings and in addition compress the cylinder full of mixture into the compression space, and also recharge the crank chamber. Contact is made, the compressed mixture explodes driving down the piston, flapping the wings, storing power in the springs for the up stroke, and compressing the mixture in the crank chamber. This is all, and it is repeated till there is a misfire or the effects of bad workmanship stop the engine.
The small working model (Fig. 3) shows an adaptation of means to ends, and is thought to be more significant and convincing than the tabulated results of an elaborate whirling machine would be at this particular juncture. You have seen here aeroplanes with absolutely no extensions fore and sit of their canvas, that maintain automatic stability both longitudinally and transversely under most trying circumstances. You have seen how the exact work of W. R. Turnbull was not of the slightest use to aeronautics till it could be combined with the other essentials of flying. You have observed that all flying machines that have been described previously embody scaffold-like structures forward or aft to hold movable surfaces requiring constant attention, and this fact alone indicates that the art as practised to-day is at the stage it was on April l2, 1890, as per our Journal of that date. You also understand, as a matter of pure mechanics, that the air is permeated with gusts and tremors of the most rapid and conflicting nature, and that the weight of a body that has to move through it and preserve a uniform aspect, must have a minimum of inertia so that it can instantly adapt itself readily to ever changing conditions. Common sense steps in here and says: Separate the parts you want to be mobile from the parts you want to be inert. You have seen the result, and I know many have the skill to apply it.
This is the very heart of the invention, and in the present state of the industry cannot fail to be understood. I am advised that it is, or was, patentable before if was exhibited here, but mature thought shows the perfect impossibility of collecting revenue from the consumers who are the practicers of the art I wish to advance and not to retard.
If the string and weight are swung without the rigid stable aeroplane, the string can only describe a blunt cone with the apex upwards. When the aeroplane is tied to the weight, the apex of the cone is downwards, indicating that the aeroplane at that velocity is lifting more than the weight. A great increase of velocity adds enormously to the weight on the aeroplane, as the weight is trying to flatten the inverted cone.
Used as kites, these rigid stable aeroplanes are superior to the very best cellular kites I can make; they are lighter, pull harder per square foot, attain a greater angle of elevation, and have fewer parts. When their qualities become known, the two-celled kite will be considered a, barbarism of the past. The ladder kite that was experimented with in 1897 (Fig. 4) is a very light and compact term of multiplane lifting surface. The twenty planes are 1 foot 5 1/3 inch square; they are spaced one foot apart. The two highest planes are strutted into the box form; the rest of the side surfaces are quite loose and only tightened by the lift of the planes. The best way to fly this kite is to lay it out on the ground in either of the dotted positions shown on the plan. Pull a little on the string that is not lying on the ground, thus squaring the rhomboidal shape of the kite, and it will at once assume the upright position. Similarly by pulling either string the kite will lay itself down without damage on the side that it is pulled. If you pull A the kite lies down at C. If you pull B it lies down at D. The kite, when on the ground, does not roll away to leeward as one might expect.

Markets jittery on US government shutdown
The partial shutdown of the U.S. government weighed on markets Wednesday, though hopes that Italy's government will win a confidence vote helped shore up confidence on the Milan exchange.
AP Business Writer
The partial shutdown of the U.S. government weighed on markets Wednesday, though hopes that Italy's government will win a confidence vote helped shore up confidence on the Milan exchange.
The political crises in Washington D.C. and Rome have been the main points of focus in financial markets this week. While the gridlock in the U.S. capital shows few signs of resolution, developments in Italy suggest that a political crisis may be averted.
In the U.S., the shutdown, which has seen some 800,000 federal employees put on furlough, went into effect after a politically divided Congress failed to approve short-term funding to keep the government functioning past Monday, the end of its fiscal year.
Though most analysts said they expect the budget stalemate to be resolved before the shutdown inflicts damage on the economy, the latest stalemate has raised concerns over whether Congress will be able to increase the country's debt ceiling later this month. If it doesn't, the U.S. would face a potential default, a development that could inflict massive damage on the global economy.
"Let's just hope that this standoff makes Congress wake up and smell the coffee," said Dennis de Jong, general manager at UFX Markets. "The shutdown is far from ideal, but failure to raise the government's $16.7 trillion debt ceiling later this month would be disastrous for the world economy."
Those concerns were dominating stock markets after what had been a fairly benign response on Tuesday to the gridlock in the U.S.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading shares was down 0.7 percent at 6.412 while Germany's DAX fell 0.4 percent to 8.657. The CAC-40 in France was 0.6 percent lower at 4,172.
Outperforming all others in Europe was Milan's FTSE MIB, which was trading 1.2 percent higher at 18,184 amid signs that Premier Enrico Letta's government would survive a confidence vote. Italy was dragged into a potential crisis this week when Silvio Berlusconi demanded his five Cabinet ministers quit the coalition headed by Letta.
"Letta's government looks to be on a far sounder footing following extensive behind-the-scenes discussions," said Alastair McCaig, market analyst at IG.
The European Central Bank will share some of the limelight later when it announces its latest policy decision at a meeting in Paris. No changes in interest rates are expected but investors will be keeping a close watch on what ECB President Mario Draghi says in his ensuing press conference.
In the U.S., the focus will remain on developments in D.C. However, the monthly private payrolls figures from the firm ADP will be monitored, especially as the government's official nonfarm payrolls report is unlikely to be published Friday due to the partial shutdown.
Wall Street was headed for a lower opening, with Dow futures down 0.5 percent and the broader S&P 500 futures 0.6 percent lower.
The dollar remained under pressure too, with the euro up a further 0.1 percent at $1.3532 while the dollar fell 0.5 percent to 97.52 yen.
Earlier in Asia, markets were solid following the previous day's relatively strong showing in U.S. markets. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.6 percent to 22,984.48, reopening after a one-day public holiday while South Korea's Kospi rose marginally to 1,999.47. Markets in mainland China were closed for a public holiday.
However, Japan's Nikkei 225 index plummeted 2.2 percent to close at 14,170.49 after the government Tuesday announced it would go ahead with a sales tax increase in April. The tax, intended to offset the country's soaring public debt, will rise from 5 percent to 8 percent.

$300K in Liens at Texarkana's Arkansas Convention Center
by Lance Turner
Posted 11/27/2013 09:22 am
Updated 1 year ago
Contractors have filed $300,000 in liens against the Arkansas Convention Center in Texarkana, Ark., owned by Hiren Patel, who's building the project with incentives championed by ousted-but-then-re-hired City Manager Harold Boldt, according to a Texarkana Gazette story in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette today.
Arkansas Business' Luke Jones has been following the ongoing saga of Boldt and his pet economic development project, the Crossroads Business Park near Interstate 30. It includes the $18 million convention center, one of two being built on either side of the state line, and a $40 million water park (also owned by Patel).
Before he was ousted -- and subsequently re-hired -- Boldt has asked the city board for more money for the convention center and water park. "Due to several factors, the city does not have the cash available to fund our costs at this time," Boldt told the board in a January letter.
He asked the city to increase a $487,000 short-term note to $1.06 million and to pledge sales tax revenue and additional franchise fees to pay the additional debt. He also said he would ask the city's Advertising & Promotion Commission to contribute $500,000 to Texarkana Hotels LLC, the private company belonging to Patel. Boldt brought in Patel when he realized the city would never be able to pay for all that development itself.
Flash-forward to now, and the convention center project faces a laundry list of unhappy contractors seeking payment. Boldt tells the Gazette that he didn't know about the liens. Patel didn't comment.
The Texarkana Gazette story, which ran locally Sunday but appeared in central Arkansas' Democrat-Gazette today, also has what's likely to be one of the best quotations of the year, from one of the project's disgrunted contractors:
"I may be a redneck, but when someone takes $90,000 of my money, I am mad," Peek said."Pay me my money. It's Christmastime, and my kids want the G.I. Joe with the kung fu grip."

iSmart shows off their new home protection products at CES 2014
Home protection is a concern for any home owner. It can be expensive, though, when considering monthly fees and maintenance cost. Those who rent are often left to lean on the property owners, or pay for renters insurance. At CES 2014, we ran into a company names iSmart Alarm, which offers both home protection and automation, all for the cost of a power outlet.

SOUTH OZONE PARK, NY (PIX11)—The slots are big business for the new Resorts World Casino in South Ozone Park Queens. The casino estimates 5 to 10 thousand people come through there every day.
When the casino opened in late October, it is estimated 65 thousand people visited the first weekend.
"The first day was unbelievable. It was very crowded, " said longtime resident Celia Oliveri.
And that's great for business, but it is clogging the streets surrounding the casino.
"We have a dog and he is barking constantly. The whole night through, just people are walking up and down," said Eddie Guerron. He lives a block from the casino.
While there are 6500 hundred parking spots at the casino, residents say gamblers are still parking on the quiet residential neighboring streets.
And Rockaway Boulevard is filled with people waiting to enter the casino.
The Resorts World Casino New York President, Michael Speller, says they are aware of the traffic concerns.
"We are increasing our security personnel. We are increasing our parking personnel on the property so we can manage people into the property very quickly, get them parked and into the building," said Speller.
People can also access the casino using public transportation. The A train and buses both stop there.

Renew Yourself for Spring with These 9 Activities
Celebrate the first glorious days of the season with these 9 feel-good activities.
By Elizabeth Roehrig
Clean Your Warm-Weather Clothes
Start your annual spring-cleaning ritual with a load of laundry to freshen your warm-weather clothing. Consider sudsing up the old-fashioned way with Marseille soap, which is gentle on skin but powerful enough to remove tough laundry stains. Before ironing, pour some scented linen water into your iron's well or spray directly onto each item to infuse fabric with a gentle fragrance. To purchase Marseille soap and linen water, go to loccitane.com.
Time With a Friend
Spring Colors
Creative Organizing
Air Out Your Linens
Outdoor Herb Garden

Book ObsolescenceSubmitted by rernst on Fri, 04/04/2008 - 1:12pm
It's not just computers that are rapidly becoming obsolete. Quite a few books are following this route. Three books I've bought recently have come out with new editions:

Freebie Magazines OnlineSubmitted by rernst on Sat, 11/10/2007 - 9:09am
Several Linux-centric print magazines have their back issues available on the web. In most cases, the freely-available ones are several months old, but if you can deal with that it's a cheap way to get the content.
So far, there are two that I'm aware of:
- Linux Magazine: Back issues are approximately six months old, maybe a bit later.Signup and Login is required.
- Linux Journal: Articles are free to access, and there's about 13 years of magazine issues here, including (from issue #1) an old interview with Linus Torvalds
Plus one that *used* to have back issues online, but still offers a digital subscription service: Linux Pro Magazine (aka 'Linux Magazine' in Europe)
For those interested, Linux Journal also is currently offering a free issue download.
There are a number of online-only 'magazines' that have sprung up in the past year. The trend seems to be towards a format reminiscent of a blog, but with content published in large chunks. Of these, my favorite is Free Software Magazine which is up to issue 20 now.

Cats and BooksSubmitted by rernst on Sun, 03/11/2007 - 8:38am
Cats and books usually don't get along. While cats love paper (and shredding it), they generally leave books alone unless they're really malicious. But sometimes, they can be so annoying:

Your tax dollars pay for it, so are you using it?
In the modern age, a public library offers:
- Free reading material: books, magazines, newspapers
- Internet access (often requires a library card)
- A quiet place to study and relax
- Reference materials -- from maps to professional directories, and older historical materials. A place to get answers of all stripes
- A local resource to have questions answered

Why Ebooks haven't taken offSubmitted by rernst on Thu, 01/12/2006 - 7:49am
I was struck with the inspiration for this article while reading an article about Sony's launch of a new ebook reader device. I'm afraid the reason that ebooks haven't hit the big time is quite a sad commentary on society's value system.

With the idealism of the Sixties in the rear view, filmmakers sought out darker and darker subject matter throughout the subsequent decade. Here's a selection of those disturbing visions courtesy of the Criterion Collection.
Don't look now, but Nicholas Roeg's darkest cinematic vision has finally assumed its rightful place in the Criterion Collection.
It's often said that the Sixties died at Altamont. Watching this film, it's pretty hard to disagree with that assessment.
A troubling true-crime story from America's past that could act as a wake-up call for anybody who claims they miss the "good old days."
A pitch-black comedy with a tangy political undertaste.
You can search far and wide, but you'll be hard-pressed to find more vicious backbiting than there is in this bitter tale of a film crew going to seed.
Polanski goes about as dark as you can imagine with his grim retelling of Shakespeare's supreme tragedy.
Probably Peckinpah's most nihilistic work -- and that's saying something.
The tears are bitter indeed, as Fassbinder plumbs the depths of romantic obsession.
The late, great Peter O'Toole stars as a paranoid schizophrenic Earl who believes he's the God of Love. When he's disabused of that delusion, though, he decides he's Jack the Ripper instead. Definitely a case where the cure is worse than the disease.
A two-fer from Morrissey, the dark prince of depravity.
A two-fer from Schroeder. The first is a fascinating portrait of a man who was clearly off his rocker and in a position where absolutely no one could tell him so. The second is a film that declines to judge its sadists and masochists, but still ventures into some pretty dark territory.
The story of a love affair that would be doomed even without the specter of Naziism hanging over the proceedings.
An unsettling depiction of a Germany that is just as haunted by its present as it is by its past.
This one takes a bit longer to reveal its seamy underbelly, but once it does there's no turning back.
In a way, it feels like this could have been a one-film list -- and this would have been that film.
A two-fer from Oshima, who knew how to put the "sadism" in sadomasochism.
A nightmare captured on film.
Unsettling from the first wave to the last.
An apocalyptic vision of Britannia that amply illustrates why it no longer Rules as it once did.
Take a trip to the dark underbelly of Japanese society with master Imamura.
Nazis again. I hate those guys.

Just "Click the Pix" to see a larger view.
- A couple of her record covers.
- Nejla Ates -- big 11x17 print for sale
There's some very detailed bio info on Nejla's bio page on the GLAMOUR GIRLS OF THE SILVERSCREEN, that covers many of her torrid romantic affairs. It makes for very interesting reading.
She was born Necla Batir, in 1932 in Romania, and by 1952, she was dancing at the Casino de Paris. Soon she was famous as "The Exquisite Turkish Delight", and in 1953 she was performing at the Lou Walters' Latin Quarter in New York.
Nejla even had a feud with Rose La Rose. See my post about Hope Diamond for some juicy info about how Nejla broke up one of Hope's marriages. And apparently one of Nejla's beaus dumped her for Burlesque Stripper Lily Lamont!
Here's a link to a great video clip of Nejla's belly dance in the 1955 film, Son of Sinbad.
After many romances, marriages, divorces, and a couple of "drug overdoses", in April 2005, Nejla died, at age 73, in hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.
I have many more Nejla Ates items in my shop -- here's a pic of some of them:

"I am not a crook." -Richard Nixon.
Confirming the legitimacy of a franchisor can be difficult. More often than not it's a matter of evaluating the franchisor's experience or lack thereof in the business. The less time the franchisor has been in the business being franchised, and the fewer the number of franchisees in the system, the higher the risks posed to the investor.
Investigating the legitimacy at the government level is relatively easy. Contact any one of the attorneys general in the franchise registration states and ask whether the company is currently registered and about any cases or investigations they can tell you about. The franchisor will also be on file as registered or exempt under the state's business opportunity law in the states of Kentucky, Florida, Nebraska, Utah and Texas.
Check with the Better Business Bureau in your state and find out whether a significant number of complaints have been filed against the company. If that is the ase, follow up with other franchisees or the franchisor.
If you're in a non-registration state, your state's attorney general or consumer protection Office may also be able to give you information about any problems experienced with the company. The Federal Trade Commission, the federal agency that regulates franchise sales nationally, will be of less help on a specific inquiry but is a great source of general information about franchise investments. Contact the FTC on the Internet at www.ftc.gov, where you'll find a bonanza of information about recent enforcement actions and booklets on how to purchase a franchise. Call its Consumer Response Center in Washington, DC (202-326-3128), and you'll be invited to volunteer information that the Commission might use to discern patterns in the marketplace or identify companies causing widespread consumer injury or complaint. According to the recording offered by Consumer Response Center, the FTC cannot respond individually to complaints submitted.
"Trust, but verify." -Ronald Reagan.
By far the best way to confirm the legitimacy, experience and expertise of a franchisor is to interview current franchisees in the system. Check the list contained in Item 20 of the UFOC and call a number of those closest to your market. Jump in the car and visit them. Sit in a unit for an afternoon watching the business operate. Ask the owners about their experience with the franchisor. Was the training helpful and complete? What do they wish they had known going into the business? Do they make enough money at the business to meet their expectations? How much did the business gross last year? Is this year looking stronger or weaker? Why? Ask franchise owners whether there's a strong and active franchisee association, and if the franchisor pays attention to the views of franchisees. Finally, ask them if they would do it again knowing what they know now about the business. Be sure to meet several franchisees so you hear a fair sampling of views. Take careful note of responses made to your questions, and follow up with the franchisor to discuss comments that concern you.
The final word on researching and finding a great franchise is from one of our greatest presidents, Roosevelt: "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Andrew A. Caffey is a practicing franchise attorney in the Washington, DC, area; an internationally recognized specialist in franchise and business opportunity law; and former general counsel of the International Franchise Association. E-mail him at email@example.com.

Great Recipe and easy, but I have to agree with the other reviewer 20 minutes isn't long enough for medium-rare it was still bloody. Next time I will leave it in longer.
By houchart

This dish I agree was totally easy and was tasty. However, I found the 20 minute cooking time for "medium" not long enough. The meat was almost bloody; however, the crumb topping and mustard spread made the whole thing taste great. For future cooking, I will put the lamb on the bottom rack and cook for an extra 5 minutes. I think that will make for a crispier, browner crust as well, though using panko crumbs insterad of regular crumbs did make it quite crunchy. My husband loved it. And what I also love about it -- it is fancy enough for a nice dinner party, yet it won't have me slaving in the kitchen for hours and watching over a stove top while my guests are having cocktails! I love Laura Calder...thanks!

This is the first dish I've tried by Laura and it was absolutely Delish and soooo easy to prepare. I highly recommend it.

SME says the innovations could help manufacturers save 80% of the cost of RFID tags, reduce the costs of producing nano fibers, or even change the way electronics are designed.
The SME Innovation Watch Committee compiled the list. Committee members serve as "innovation researchers" who seek and publish information about technology.
"Our Committee's goal was to scan the vast technology landscape for cutting-edge innovations and to investigate ways they can be utilized," said committee member Christopher Kaye, director of innovative technology, US Endoscopy.
The innovations include:
Printed RFID tags. While current RFID tags can average 15 cents each, new printed RFID tags give manufacturers the potential to cut these costs down 80% and track products for about one to three cents a tag.
"These new printable tags are thin and flexible enough to fit on a pack of chewing gum," says committee member Terry Wohlers, president of Wohlers Associates, an independent consulting firm in rapid product development and additive manufacturing.
"This could open the door to greater consumer usage. Mobile phones with built-in RFID scanners, for example, could make it possible to pay for items without waiting in line," he says.
Nanoporous Silicon Electrodes. Demand for electric cars is growing but current lithium-ion batteries only provide a 30-minute charge. Nanoporous silicon electrodes may enable batteries to store ten times more charge. Companies like LG Chem, 3M, and Sanyo are testing the technology now. The electrodes, when matched to the right cathodes with comparable storage capacity, could help a car run 3-4 hours.
Nanoporous silicon electrodes also show promise for portable devices.
Silicon Carbide (SiC). With the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, SiC electronics are being used now to power hybrid vehicles and wind turbines, which rely on high power performance. SiCs have the potential to operate at up to 600°C.
"This new temperature capability will allow for products and design that weren't possible before," said Wohlers.
Nanotube Inks. New nanotube inks can turn recycled copier paper into a high-energy electrode, which can be used as economical energy storage devices. These high-energy electrodes are strong, flexible and highly conductive and might be used to power portable electronics.
Affordable Nano Fibers. Nano fibers are becoming less expensive to make. They're currently used to strengthen materials in applications such as bikes, golf clubs, tennis rackets, and drug delivery systems, nano fibers were at one time very expensive to make.
"New centrifugal force spinning machines (Forcespinning) have made mass production possible, and therefore, more cost-effective than current processes," said Wohlers.
Self-Healing Polymers. "Smart materials" made with self-healing agents available for elastomers, thermosets, and powder coatings can be used to treat metal exposed to harsh environments. For the oil and gas industry, for example, these polymers could reduce costly repairs to oil rigs and pipelines.
Phase Changing Polymers. "Smart materials" also include phase-changing polymers. PCMs are already used by BMW to store excess heat when a motor runs at operating temperature. This heat is then available at the next cold start to heat up the motor quickly and contribute to better gas mileage.
"PCM's are also being used in construction materials to help keep homes in extreme climates more temperate," explained Rod Jones, Innovation Watch Committee member and chief learning officer at Mori Seiki Chicago Technical Center.
Bio-Based Products & Materials. Mother Nature is inspiring manufacturing with bio-based products and materials. In automotive manufacturing, examples include soy-foam seats, which have already gone into a million Ford Mustangs.
"Bio-based products are also being used in adhesives, engine oil and carpet," says Jones.
Innovations That Could Change the Way You Manufacture will be a central focus of the Bridging the Gaps: SME Annual Conference scheduled for June 6-8, 2010 at the Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville, TN.
