Windsor Knot
"So how many brothers did George VI actually have?"
"Well, there's Edward the Abdicator and there's the other one mentioned in the film—John, the one we never used to hear about, who had epilepsy and died young. And then there's a couple of dukes, Kent, the one who died in the air crash, and the other one—Norfolk?"
"You mean Gloucester," my wife said, and so I did. Norfolk is the Catholic duke who lives in Arundel; he has nothing to do with it. "But George VI had a sister, too. A total of five brothers and a sister is what I remember."
"Princess Marina?"
"No, I think Marina married Kent." She looked towards the ceiling like a spiritualist. "I'm getting the name the Hon Angus Ogilvy here. Whoever he was or is, he's mixed up in this somewhere."*
My grandmother used to speak this way too, able to recall the Windsor family tree from memory, with the same, if not more, precision than she could deploy when remembering her own. The layers of memory only reinforce the soap opera, with the backstory fleshing out the characters currently on screen. So people look at William's wariness of the press and conclude it must be the legacy of his mother's short life and violent death. They note that though the Queen is eighty-five, her mother lived to 101 and speculate that she will rule for a good while yet. Charles should shake off any delusions he may have about the Queen stepping down for him—given her presumed view of the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, as a trauma for the Firm, she will do no such thing. And so on. Ordinary Britons, not just "royal experts" on television, will trade such observations in everyday conversation.
Further help for the monarchy comes from an unexpected shift in the British zeitgeist. In Tony Blair's 1990s, Cool Britannia fashion demanded classless accents and demotic style; to be posh was to be square and out-of-touch. Yet now Britain is ruled by a prime minister, David Cameron, who is a former pupil of the country's most privileged school, Eton College, and who is surrounded by several more Old Etonians—including the mayor of London, Boris Johnson. Real estate and cookery shows on television are fronted by people with double-barreled surnames and cut-glass accents, both of which would once have been modified or hidden by those seeking national fame. Country clothing, including quilted jackets in the drab shades favored by the monarch herself, is experiencing brisk sales, even among younger, urban types. And all this after a century in which the upper class was said to be in decline. The explanation, according to the scholar Simon Head, lies in the effectiveness of an elite group, supercharged by vast fortunes accrued in the City of London, in shaking off what he calls, quoting Shelley, "the sneer of cold command," the old aristo hauteur that once so irritated their fellow Britons. Cameron is the exemplar, wearing his breeding lightly.
The clearest index of the current approval enjoyed, despite everything, by the royal family is the critical and commercial success of The King's Speech. Together with the upcoming wedding and next year's diamond jubilee of the Queen's reign—a feat matched only by Queen Victoria—it is taken as proof that the monarchy is on a roll. The film offers not just evidence of the Windsors' popularity, but also perhaps the best explanation for it.
The young Princess Elizabeth appears only briefly in the film, alongside her sister Margaret, as the daughter of the stammering King—but that cameo should not be underestimated. It is a reminder of the current Queen's sheer longevity in British life. There she is on the palace balcony with her father, already a public figure in events that took place nearly seventy years ago and that have acquired for most Britons the patina of ancient history. An easy way to produce gasps from British schoolchildren is to tell them that the Queen has met each week with the serving prime minister, over the years twelve in all—and the first of these was Winston Churchill.
This fact alone ensures that Elizabeth exercises an enduring grip on the British imagination. She is one of the few constants in a landscape much of which has changed beyond recognition since 1945. Plenty of buildings have not been around as long. She is something the British elderly and their grandchildren have in common: for almost all their lives, she has been the head of state. (It helps that, as even most republicans will admit, she has not, in all that time, put a constitutional foot wrong. Unlike her second son, she has never attracted even a whiff of scandal; unlike her first son, she knows that, as the embodiment of what Bagehot called the "dignified" part of Britain's unwritten constitution, her job is to keep her views firmly to herself.)
But the power of young Elizabeth's brief scenes in The King's Speech is not solely chronological. It is not only that she was around a long time ago; it is that she was around then, during what Churchill predicted would be known thereafter as Britain's finest hour. She is the last living connection to an episode—the island race standing up to Hitler—that has become the foundation story, almost the creation myth, of modern Britain.
Pupils in UK schools now study the Third Reich more intensely than they learn about the Tudors. History before 1939, with all its imperial complications, is glimpsed only vaguely. Britain alone, Churchill, 1940, the Blitz—this is the tale of unalloyed heroism that the country likes to tell and retell to itself. And as long as Elizabeth sits on the throne, Britons remain tied to those events directly.
This is the bedrock on which the current monarchy stands. While the Queen lives, no republican will be able to shake it. After she is gone, she will leave a gap that her son, her grandson, and his new wife—no matter how charming—will have to struggle to fill.

The Newsroom is an American television political drama series created and principally written by Aaron Sorkin that premiered on HBO on June 24, 2012, and concluded on December 14, 2014, consisting of 25 episodes over three seasons.[1] The series chronicles the behind-the-scenes events at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) channel. It features an ensemble cast including Jeff Daniels as anchor Will McAvoy, who, together with his staff, sets out to put on a news show "in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles and their own personal entanglements".[2] Other cast members include Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Dev Patel, Olivia Munn and Sam Waterston.
Sorkin, who created the Emmy Award–winning political drama The West Wing, had reportedly been developing a cable-news-centered TV drama since 2009. After months of negotiations, premium cable network HBO ordered a pilot in January 2011 and then a full series in September that year. Sorkin did his research for the series by observing several real-world cable news programs first-hand. He serves as executive producer, along with Scott Rudin and Alan Poul.

Entertainment Weekly reported in April 2009 that Sorkin, while still working on the screenplay for The Social Network, was contemplating a new TV drama about the behind-the-scenes events at a cable news program.[14] Sorkin was the series creator of Sports Night and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, both shows depicting the off-camera happenings of fictional television programs.[15] Talks were reportedly ongoing between Sorkin and HBO since 2010.[16] In January 2011, Sorkin revealed the project on BBC News.[17]
To research the cable news world, Sorkin had been an off-camera guest at MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann in 2010 to observe the show's production and quizzed Parker Spitzer 's staff when he was a guest on that show.[18] He also spent time shadowing Hardball with Chris Matthews as well as other programs on Fox News Channel and CNN.[19] Sorkin told TV Guide that he intended to take a less cynical view of the media: "They're going to be trying to do well in a context where it's very difficult to do well when there are commercial concerns and political concerns and corporate concerns."[20] Sorkin decided that rather than have his characters react to fictional news events as on his earlier series, The Newsroom would be set in the recent past and track real-world stories largely as they unfolded, to give a greater sense of realism.[21]
HBO ordered a pilot in January 2011 with the working title More as This Story Develops. The Social Network 's Scott Rudin signed on as executive producer.[19] Rudin's only previous television work was the 1996 spinoff series Clueless.[19] By June, Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, Olivia Munn, and Dev Patel were cast, while Greg Mottola had signed on to direct the pilot.[22][23] The pilot script was later reportedly obtained by several news outlets.[24]
On September 8, 2011, HBO ordered a full series starting with an initial 10-episode run with a premiere date set for summer 2012.[2][25][26] A day after the second episode aired, HBO renewed the series for a second season.[27]
Sorkin said in June 2012 that The Newsroom "is meant to be an idealistic, romantic, swashbuckling, sometimes comedic but very optimistic, upward-looking look at a group of people who are often looked at cynically. The same as with The West Wing, where ordinarily in popular culture our leaders are portrayed either as Machiavellian or dumb; I wanted to do something different and show a highly competent group of people."[28]
Series title[edit]
While the pilot was in development, the project was tentatively titled More as This Story Develops.[29] On November 29, 2011, HBO filed for a trademark on "The Newsroom" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.[30] The new name immediately drew comparisons with the Ken Finkleman-created Canadian comedy series of the same name that aired on CBC and public television stations in the U.S.[30][31] The series' name was confirmed as The Newsroom in an HBO promo released on December 21, 2011, previewing its programs for 2012.[32]
Writing in Maclean's, Jaime Weinman said the choice of name was "a bit of a grimly amusing reminder that the U.S. TV industry doesn't take Canada very seriously ... The Newsroom is often considered the greatest show Canada has ever produced, but a U.S. network feels no need to fear unflattering comparisons: assuming they've heard of the show, they probably think most people in the States have not heard of it."[33] In an interview with The Daily Beast following the Sorkin show's premiere, Finkleman revealed that HBO did contact him for permission to reuse the title, which he granted.[34]
Jeff Daniels was cast in the lead role in March 2011.[35] Alison Pill and Olivia Munn reportedly entered negotiations to star in April 2011.[36] The fictional executive producer role was initially offered to Marisa Tomei, but negotiations fell through. Tomei was replaced by Emily Mortimer in May 2011.[37] Sam Waterston also joined the project in May.[38] John Gallagher, Jr., Thomas Sadoski, and Dev Patel were added to the cast in June 2011.[9][39]
New York magazine reported that Sorkin had planned for MSNBC host Chris Matthews and Andrew Breitbart to appear in a roundtable debate scene in the pilot. However, the idea was shot down by MSNBC purportedly because the network was displeased with the corporate culture portrayal of cable news and skewering of left-leaning media in the show's script.[40] Chris Matthews' son, Thomas, joined the cast in the role of Martin Stallworth, an associate producer for the fictional show.[41]
Three months after the series was picked up, Jane Fonda signed on to play Leona Lansing, the CEO of the fictional network's parent company.[3][26] Fonda was married to Turner Broadcasting System and CNN founder Ted Turner for 10 years.[42] Lansing was touted by some observers as a female version of Fonda's ex-husband.[3] The name "Leona Lansing" is taken from the names of two highly successful businesswomen, real estate developer Leona Helmsley and former Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing.[3]
Jon Tenney guest-starred as Wade, MacKenzie's boyfriend.[43] Natalie Morales has a guest role as Kaylee, Neal's girlfriend.[44] Terry Crews plays Lonny, Will's bodyguard.[6]
Rosemarie DeWitt was originally cast as Rebecca Halliday, a litigator who is tasked with defending the ACN in a wrongful termination suit in the second season,[45] but DeWitt had to vacate the role due to scheduling conflicts.[46] The role was recast with Marcia Gay Harden.[47] Patton Oswalt was announced to play Jonas Pfeiffer, the new V.P. of human resources at ACN, in November 2012,[45] but he ultimately did not appear in the season.[48]
The Newsroom 's set is located in Sunset Gower Studios, Hollywood, on Stage 7.[28] The fictional Atlantis World Media building, however, is actually the Bank of America Tower on Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan (directly across the street from HBO's New York City offices), with CGI being used to change the name of the building above the entrance. Production began in the fall of 2011.[49] The schedule called for each episode—comprising a dialogue-dense script of 80 to 90 pages – to be filmed in nine days, as opposed to six to seven pages per day for broadcast network TV series.[49] The pilot episode was shot in 16 mm film while the rest of the series was shot digitally on Arri Alexa cameras.[50]
Writing team[edit]
With less than 10 credited writers, The Newsroom has fewer writers than most other television series. It was reported that Sorkin planned to replace most of the first season's writers in the second season.[51] He later said this was untrue.[52] Sorkin explained his approach to writing:
I create these shows so that I can write them. I'm not an empire builder. I'm not interested in just producing. All I want to do is write. I came up as a playwright—writing is something you do by yourself in a room. That said, I couldn't possibly write the show without that room full of people. I go in there, and we kick around ideas. I'm writing about all kinds of things I don't know anything about. So they do research for me.[49]
Sorkin hired conservative media consultants for the second season to help him represent "every part of the ideological spectrum," thus giving the show "a political perspective that I don't have." Sorkin also revealed that the second season would include the 2012 United States presidential election.[53]

In Season 1 each episode is built around a major news event from the recent past, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill or the killing of Osama Bin Laden. This acts as a background for the interpersonal drama, as well as providing a sense of familiarity, as the audience is likely to know the context and so not require too much explanation of events. Sorkin has said the news events on the show "will always be real", which, for him, "became a kind of creative gift. For one thing, the audience knows more than the characters do, which is kind of fun. And it gives me the chance to have the characters be smarter than we were."[54] However, he has also said "[i]t is a romanticised, idealised newsroom, a sort of a heightened newsroom – it is not meant to be a documentary."[55]
The second season features a story arc in which the News Night team has reported, and been forced to retract, a false news story about the United States Marine Corps using sarin gas during the war in Afghanistan in 2009.[56] This story is based on a real-life news scandal from 1998, in which CNN and TIME were both criticized for reporting a dubious and unreliably sourced story that the United States had used sarin during the Operation Tailwind excursion in the Vietnam War.[56]
The Newsroom premiered in the United States on HBO on June 24, 2012. It was watched by 2.1 million viewers, making it one of HBO's most-watched series premieres since 2008.[57] The first episode was made available free to all viewers on multiple platforms, including HBO.com, iTunes, YouTube, and other free on-demand services.[58]
The show airs simultaneously on HBO Canada.[59] It premiered on Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom and Ireland on July 10, 2012, two weeks after its U.S. debut.[60] In Germany and Austria The Newsroom premiered on Sky's video-on-demand service Sky Go one day after the U.S. premiere on June 25, 2012, and Sky Anytime one day later.[61] HBO Europe also began airing the show in all twelve countries with appropriate subtitles one day after the U.S. premiere. The show premiered in New Zealand on August 13, 2012, on SKY NZ's SoHo channel.[62] The show debuted in Australia on the SoHo channel on August 20, 2012.[63] HBO Bulgaria started to air the show with Bulgarian subtitles on June 25, 2012.[64] In India, the show premiered on HBO Defined on May 21, 2013,[65] and season 2 premiered on July 30, 2013, with episodes airing two weeks after the U.S. premiere.[66][67]
Critical response[edit]
Critical reaction to the series in its first season was mixed.[68][69] The show's second and third seasons saw more positive responses from reviewers.[70][71]
Season 1[edit]
The first season scored 57 out of 100 based on reviews from 31 critics, on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[72]
Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter writes that how viewers respond to the show "has everything to do with whether you like his style. Because ... Sorkin is always true to himself and doesn't try to cover his tendencies or be embarrassed by them."[73] Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times commented that "at its best ... The Newsroom has a wit, sophistication and manic energy.... But at its worst, the show chokes on its own sanctimony."[74] Time 's James Poniewozik criticized the show for being "smug" and "intellectually self-serving," with "Aaron Sorkin writing one argument after another for himself to win."[75] Los Angeles Times critic Mary McNamara said the show's drama is "weighted too heavily toward sermonizing diatribes."[76]
Reviews by newscasters have been mixed as well. Jake Tapper, then of ABC News, criticized Sorkin's partisanship: "they extol the Fourth Estate's democratic duty, but they believe that responsibility consists mostly of criticizing Republicans."[77] Dave Marash was not convinced that the show portrays the news industry accurately.[78] On August 1, 2012, Sorkin responded to critics by including news consultants with newsroom experience.[79] Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather gave the pilot a favorable review, saying the show "has the potential to become a classic."[80]
Season 2[edit]
The second season received generally favorable reviews. It has a score of 66 out of 100 based on reviews from 20 critics, from review aggregation website Metacritic.[70]
In an early review of season 2, Verne Gay of Newsday called it: "Edgier, more sharply drawn, while that Sorkian chatter remains at a very high boil."[81] Oscar Moralde of Slant Magazine noted what he referred to as the show's "grandiloquent speechifying," but praised Olivia Munn calling her "a joy to watch" and concluded that "season two of The Newsroom salvages the promise of becoming something urgent and vital."[82] Brian Lowry of Variety, in a negative review, said: "Ultimately, one needn't be a purveyor of snark to view The Newsroom as a disappointment—too smart to be dismissed, but so abrasive as to feel like Media Lectures for Dummies."[83] Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club gave Season 2 an overall "B−" grade.[84]

Premier Foods launches digital pitch
Premier Foods is holding a digital pitch for its "power brands", which include Hovis, Oxo and Mr Kipling.
Mr Kipling: one of the 'power brands' included in the consolidated digital business
The company has approached agencies directly to invite them to pitch for the consolidated business.
The eight power brands are Hovis, Ambrosia, Mr Kipling, Sharwood's, Loyd Grossman, Bisto, Oxo and Batchelors.
Premier Foods said it was planning to put a greater emphasis on marketing its grocery products at the expense of Hovis.
In February, Premier Foods revealed sales of its power brands grew 2.1 per cent last year, helping 2012 underlying trading profits rise 10.6 per cent to £123.4 million.
Premier Foods' advertising account is split between JWT London and McCann London. The company consolidated all brands into the two agencies last year.
Earlier this month, Premier Foods launched the first TV campaign for Ambrosia in ten years in an attempt to position the brand as relevant to modern British life. The spot, created by JWT, adopted the strapline: "This is pudding."
The former Sainsbury's director of brand communications Claire Harrison-Church joined Premier Foods as the director of strategic marketing in September last year.
There was further change three months later when the chief executive, Michael Clarke, stepped down after less than 18 months. Gavin Darby, the former Coca-Cola marketing director and Cable & Wireless chief executive, replaced him.
Clarke was responsible for selling Premier Foods' jam and jelly business, including Hartley's, for £200 million and the sweet pickles and table sauces division for £93 million in an attempt to reduce the company's debt.
A spokeswoman for Premier Foods said the account was not up for review.

Admits Military Gear En Route to North Korea
By Harold Hutchison
Cuba has admitted that it was sending military gear to North Korea on a ship that was intercepted by Panamanian authorities. The ship's captain attempted suicide, and its crew resisted the Panamanians.
According to the Cubans, the equipment was obsolete and being sent to North Korea for repairs. Among the gear recovered were disassembled rockets. North Korea is facing sanctions targeting its missile and nuclear weapons programs.
"I think we should be taking some comfort in the notion that other countries are getting serious about trying to put the squeeze on North Korea and trying to convince them that they need to be better citizens," said Brad Glosseman, an analyst with the Pacific Forum.
North Korea is believed to have attacked and sunk the South Korean corvette Cheonan in 2010.

FERRIS - Two Ferris officers were fired recently over misconduct.
City Manager Eric Strong said Sgt. Jeffrey Kent's internal affairs investigation had to be done by an outside source because of his "retaliation" to other city employees. Kent had been with the department since February 2009.
Thursday, Oct. 7 Kent was placed on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation of complaints made against him for improper conduct and violating the city of Ferris' and Ferris PD's policies.
According to the investigation letter from Mark E. Goldstucker, there were six issues investigated with multiple interviews conducted for each.
According to one issue, Thursday, Sept. 23, Kent instructed an unidentified female to search for and view a sexually explicit video on the police dispatch computer identified as "American Hero Puppet Sex" on YouTube.
The video, described as two minutes long, shows a male and female in various sexual positions as well as the male puppet urinating on the female's face and the female puppet defecating on the male puppets face.
Also uncovered was Kent allowing females to go into unauthorized parts of the police department to make sandwiches, being sexually suggestive with female employees and making sexually explicit gestures.
The investigation found Kent committing the acts as accused in the allegations and found him violating the city of Ferris and FPD policies.
Three year veteran Brad Lindsey, a 1998 Ferris High School graduate, was notified by Chief Sam Love on Friday, Nov. 12 an internal affairs investigation was being conducted into allegations he was committing in violation of the city of Ferris policies and procedures and/or the FPD policy and possible violation of criminal law.
According to the investigation, Lindsey, a father and husband, was caught various different times meeting with another female while on duty.
Alisha Beightol was acknowledged as being arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver during an assist with Lindsey and the Ellis County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force in February 2008.
A written response from Lindsey on the affair with Beightol on record with the city of Ferris states," we would hug each other, occasionally kiss (pecks on the cheek or lips) but the majority of the time spent with this person we would have conversations."
Lindsey opening the gate to allow an unauthorized person on The Storage Place's property caused Beightol to commit criminal trespassing.
Chief Love, in a letter to Lindsey states," You have violated the Ferris Police Department policy by associating with a person known by you to be of questionable moral character."
In response, Lindsey is stated as saying he did not know Alisha Beightol was a person of questionable character even though he said he knew she told him she has been in prison.
In addition to the affair claims, Love stated Lindsey has a lack of good work performance being late for work causing officers to work over on several occasions.
Comments (3 posted)
Do you really think people are going to comment on the news stories in you paper if they have to give you thier names. I'll be brave enough to comment anyway, this time. I'm sure retalliation will folllow.
Since when does the City of Ferris have the ability to determine who is of questionable moral character? Seems to me, the City of Ferris, itself, is full of people with "questionable moral character. Can we fire all of them? Starting with Eric Strong?
It appears that most of these people with "questionable moral charachter" are in the FPD. What do you say, can we sweep it clean and start from scratch? How about getting the unemployed/experienced police chief from Wilmer to come to town and get things straightened out? Let's start garnering some respect for our little town, by getting rid of the inexperienced, and un-professional, to gets things started.

Blog Tags: Chinook Salmon
Big Safeguards Achieved for Small Fish in California
While lax catch limits for federally-managed west coast forage fish like sardines continue to be a source of major concern, the state of California announced today that, at least for state-regulated forage fisheries like squid and herring, it would embrace a new ecosystem-based management system, with an eye towards sustainability.
Forage fish may not be as charismatic as sharks or as majestic as blue whales, but, these small, nutrient rich species -- like squid and herring-- have finally received their long-awaited turn in the spotlight.
Forage fish pack a punch of nutrients to whales, dolphins, sea birds, and recreationally and commercially important fish. They are critical to the survival of our magnificent blue whales as well as the recovery of depleted Chinook salmon. However, until now, these little fish have not been managed in a way that accounts for the vital role they play in ocean health and ocean economics. This will change as the California Fish and Game Commission will now make their decisions on how to manage all the state's forage species based on a set of principles that were fleshed out with input from conservation and fishing entities.

Toowoomba, commonly known as 'The Garden City', is located 127 km west of Brisbane with an estimated population of 128,600. Toowoomba is Australia's second largest inland city, and its largest non-capital inland city.
Toowoomba's colonial history traces back to 1816 when English botanist and explorer, Allan Cunningham, arrived in Australia from Brazil and discovered 4 million acres of rich farming land which became known as the Darling Downs.
Toowoomba hosts the Carnival of Flowers each September and Easterfest is held annually over the Easter weekend. There are more than 150 public parks and gardens in Toowoomba and the town has developed into a regional centre for business and government services.
The largest industry employers in Toowoomba are retail trade, health and community services, manufacturing and education. The Australian Defence Force is also present in the local community with the city providing housing and amenities for many of the personnel based at the Oakey Army Aviation Centre. Economic growth potential in the region has been identified through the development of energy resources found in the Surat Basin and in food processing.
Toowoomba is a major education centre with a large variety of primary and secondary schools, private and religious schools and tertiary establishments including the University of Southern Queensland, TAFE, University of Queensland and several private post-secondary colleges and training providers.
Toowoomba's history has been preserved in its buildings. Examples of architecture drawing from the city's wealthy beginnings include Toowoomba City Hall which was Qld's first purpose-built town hall, the National Trust Bull's Head Inn and many examples in the heritage listed Russell Street.
Toowoomba has a wide range of accommodation from 3, 4 and 5 star motels, hotels, luxury units, self contained cabins, bed and breakfast accommodation, cottage and modern caravan park facilities. Contact the Toowoomba Information Centre for assistance with bookings and information on local accommodation.

The cranberry is one of only three fruits indigenous to North America. (In case you are wondering, the other two are Concord grapes and blueberries.) When the pilgrims arrived in the 17th century, the Native Americans shared with them the many uses of this bitter little berry. Native Americans mixed crushed cranberries with venison and melted fat to form a high protein cake called pemmican. Pemmican was formed, dried in the sun and taken on long journeys (perhaps the predecessor of today's Power Bars).
In addition to other recipes, the Native Americans used cranberries as a medicine to treat various ailments including poison arrow wounds and as a dye for rugs and blankets.
The pilgrims soon began to incorporate cranberries, rich in Vitamin C into their own diets. Captain John Smith first relayed a description of cranberries in 1614. To appease King Charles II in 1677, the colonists sent a gift worthy of a royal, consisting of Indian corn, 3,000 codfish and ten barrels of cranberries.
In the early 1800s, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, Captain Henry Hall of Dennis happened upon a natural method for increasing the production of cranberries. Hall noticed that sand shifting over the cranberry bogs, encouraged greater growth rates. He implemented a process that was quickly copied and is still used today.
Hall began growing cranberries to feed his sailors at sea. The high Vitamin C content proved excellent protection against scurvy.
Eastern Native Americans called cranberries sassamanesh. Cape Cod Pequots and South Jersey Leni-Lenape tribes referred to the fruit as ibimi or bitter berry. Algonquins in Wisconsin called them atoqua. But it was German and Dutch settlers that gave us the name by which they are known today. They thought the vine blossom resembled the neck, head and bill of a crane, hence the term "craneberry."
There are 440 cranberries in one pound, 4,400 in a gallon of juice and 440,000 in a 100 pound barrel. Americans consume over 400 million pounds of cranberries a year, 80 million of which are served alongside turkey on Thanksgiving.
The majority of North America's producing bogs are in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Washington state, Oregon, British Columbia and Quebec. Of the 39,000 acres of bogs, roughly half are in Massachusetts.
About 10% of total crops are "dry harvested" and sold as fresh fruit. The other 85% are "wet harvested" and used to make juices, sauces and other processed food items. If not damaged, a vine can grow for years; some vines are over 150 years old!
Cranberries grow and thrive under specific conditions. A proper combination of acid peat soil, fresh water & sand can make for a successful crop. Contrary to popular opinion, cranberries do not grow in water. They grow on vines in beds or bogs of layered sand, peat, gravel and clay. Glacial deposits formed the bogs centuries ago. Originally, cranberries were dry harvested by hand, a tedious and laborious process. In the 1850s, the first hand held cranberry scoops were used, greatly improving the process.

text: It wasn't exactly a Freudian slip, but it sure was revealing. During a recent Saturday Night Live performance of Counting Crows' hit single, ''Mr. Jones,'' singer Adam Duritz changed the lyrics from ''I want to be Bob Dylan...and be a big, big star'' to ''I want to be Alex Chilton and be in Big Star.'' Not that Duritz actually yearns for the cult status of Big Star, the band led by pop- punk godfather Chilton in the early '70s. It's just that he's somewhat ''freaked'' that the Crows' debut album, August and Everything After, suddenly reached No. 13 on the charts. ''That scared the s -- - out of me,'' he admits. ''That's like Mariah Carey. That's for huge people.'' Although they have yet to reach Carey's quintuple-platinum status, this Bay Area quintet is following the flight pattern of such bands as Pearl Jam and Blind Melon. Like those other groups, the Crows are neo-hippies who draw heavily from '60s and '70s music. How does Duritz respond to critics calling the band derivative? ''I get the Van Morrison crap,'' says the 29-year-old singer. ''I don't know that we're groundbreaking, but I don't see us as being derivative. Maybe referential-my songs may have roots in other things, but they sound like me.'' That sound can only be described as melancholy, as in Duritz's explanation for the lost souls and lonely lovers that populate his songs: ''They just keep tripping over each other and hurting each other. But because they want so much more and see life as so full of possibilities, they fall a lot further.'' And therein lies the problem-the reason life, for Duritz, looks no brighter from the top of the pops. ''If everything falls apart you have the rest of your life to regret your failure,'' he says, sounding preternaturally world-weary. ''And if everything doesn't fall apart you have the rest of your life to live with your fame. Either one requires a serious adjustment.''

Evolving Evolution
From DNA to Diversity: Molecular Genetics and the Evolution of Animal Design
Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo and the Making of the Animal Kingdom
The Plausibility of Life:Resolving Darwin's Dilemma
Despite much recent controversy about the theory of evolution, major changes in our understanding of evolution over the past twenty years have gone virtually unnoticed.1 At the heart of Darwin's theory of evolution is an explanation of how plants and animals evolved from earlier forms of life that have long since disappeared; but his theory says nothing about the factors that determine the shape, color, and size of a particular fish, whale, or butterfly. Darwin and his contemporaries realized that understanding the evolution of animal forms and understanding how a fertilized egg develops into a whale, cow, or human being must be deeply connected; but they didn't know how to make the connection.
Surprising discoveries in the 1980s have begun to tell us how an embryo develops into a mature animal, and these discoveries have radically altered our views of evolution and of the relation of human beings to all other animals. The new field of study in which these breakthroughs have been made is called Evo Devo, short for evolution and development, "development" referring to both how an embryo grows and how the newborn infant matures into an adult.
Sean Carroll, author of one of the books under review and a coauthor of another, has made important contributions to the understanding of evolution and development. From DNA to Diversity, written with two other scientists, is the second edition of a book that has become a classic for students of evolution. The title of Carroll's other book, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, comes from the famous final sentence of The Origin of Species: "There is a simple grandeur in this view of life… that from so simple an origin, through the process of gradual selection of infinitesimal changes, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been evolved."
In 1830, nearly thirty years before Darwin published his book, two French naturalists—Georges Cuvier and Étienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire—debated the significance of the anatomical similarities between distantly related animals, such as the flippers of whales and the wings of bats. Cuvier held that form was dictated by function: the bat's wing, needed for flying, had a separate origin from the whale's flipper, needed for swimming.
Geoffroy St. Hilaire opposed this view, arguing that the underlying skeletal similarities pointed to the existence of a common archetype for both flippers and wings. While neither man claimed that animal forms could change over generations, St. Hilaire's archetypal form foreshadowed some recent discoveries about development and evolution. No doubt this debate was in the mind of Charles Darwin as he formulated his theories in an attempt to account for the origins of animal forms.
The contemporary Darwinian theory of evolution is based on three ideas: natural selection, heredity, and variation. Small random changes—variations—occur in organisms through mutations of genes, and when these changes give an organism a greater chance of survival, they persist from one generation to the next through natural selection. That is, organisms with traits that make them better adapted to the environment they inhabit will have better reproductive success than other members of the same species that do not possess the advantageous traits. In each successive generation, then, an ever-larger proportion of the species in question will possess the mutation that produces the advantageous traits. "Natural selection," Darwin wrote, "acts solely by accumulating successive, favorable variations." Evolution in the Darwinian view was gradual: "it can act only by short and slow steps." And since, in this view, all changes are random, there are no predetermined directions in which organisms evolve. All living organisms, Darwin claimed, are descended from one or a few common ancestors.
Neither Darwin nor any of his contemporaries knew about the workings of heredity—how we inherit the eye color of our father or the hair color of our mother. The work of the Czech monk Gregor Mendel, first published in 1865, had gone unnoticed in Darwin's day and was only rediscovered around 1900. Mendel had shown that specific traits, such as the color of a pea, or the smoothness or roughness of its skin, could be inherited independently of one another. The new science of "genetics," the idea that units called "genes" within each cell transmit specific traits, such as hair color, from one generation to the next, began in the first decade of the twentieth century. Studies of inherited traits in fruit flies in the following decades established convincing evidence for genes, but they remained invisible. Scientists still didn't know how the gene made it possible for information to pass from one generation to the next, and how mutations in genes could, over many generations, lead to a new species that had a form different from its distant progenitor.
By the 1940s, though the structure of the gene was still unknown, scientists had introduced the idea of the gene into Darwinian theory. They now explained evolution as the consequence of small random changes in genes. This recasting of Darwinian theory was called the Modern Synthesis, following the 1942 publication of Julian Huxley's book Evolution: The Modern Synthesis. The neo-Darwinian theory incorporated the Mendelian idea of genetics, explaining the mechanism of inheritance that was unknown to Darwin. The theory, however, did not account for how particular organisms develop from embryos in the womb to adult forms; that process, known as embryology, was not discussed.
The neo-Darwinian view was reinforced in 1953, when the double helix was discovered, showing how genes composed of the nucleic acid DNA transmitted hereditary characteristics. A molecule of DNA is made up of two long strands of chemical building blocks called nucleotides, each containing one of four bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine, which are abbreviated A, T, G, and C. The order of the bases in each strand of DNA determines the information in the DNA molecule, information we can think of as providing an overall plan for producing enzymes and other proteins.
A gene was now understood to be a specific sequence of DNA bases. Genes vary considerably in size, most of them containing between 10,000 and 20,000 nucleotides, though they can be much longer or shorter. Each of our cells carries all our genes, although most genes remain inactive at any given moment. When a particular gene is activated it is first copied into RNA, a nucleic acid that carries instructions from DNA for assembling proteins. The RNA's instructions are then decoded in a process called "translation," and proteins, including the enzymes essential for cells to function, are produced. Proteins in turn form some 50 percent of all living cells.
How are particular genes activated? There are, according to recent research, as many as a hundred trillion cells in the human body, and each cell contains thousands of different types of molecules that vary considerably in size; many molecules move about freely inside the cell. All the cells in a given individual have the same DNA—it is contained in the largest molecules in each cell—and hence an identical set of genes. Which specific genes are activated in a particular cell depends, in part, on the cell's location in the embryo or the adult body. Moreover, the activation of one combination of genes will give rise to a liver cell, while the activation of another will produce a brain cell.
The structure of the double helix made it apparent how changes, or mutations, in the base sequence of a gene could lead to variations in the characteristics of an organism; such mutations could, if advantageous, accumulate over time. The process appeared to confirm Darwin's view that evolution is gradual. As he wrote in The Origin of Species, nature "can act only by short and slow steps. Hence, the saying Natura non facit saltum," nature doesn't make sudden jumps. The standard view, then, was that variation and selection could account for how the simple organisms of early life evolved into the complex forms of the contemporary biological world. After Mendel's discoveries had been absorbed at the beginning of the twentieth century, it was assumed that as changes accumulated between one species and another, there would be less and less similarity in the kind and number of their genes. More advanced species would have many more genes than lower forms of life; and worms, for example, would have few, if any, genes similar to those of fish, mice, or human beings.
Yet it seemed astonishing that random mutations, even over enormous periods of time, could give rise to the remarkable complexity of an organ such as the human eye. "To suppose," Darwin wrote in The Origin of Species,
that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree….
Nonetheless, he continued:
Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case; and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the theory.
The neo-Darwinian belief in small mutational changes in DNA molecules over hundreds of millions of years made the preservation of individual genes over long periods of time highly unlikely. It was thought that the diversity of living forms was the consequence of each animal having evolved its own unique set of genes over millions of years as well. Surely human beings, for example, would not have the same genes as worms.
Those assumptions were dramatically overturned when the rough draft of the human genome—the entire set of human genes—was announced in 2001. As it turned out, human beings have far fewer genes than expected—about 25,000 rather than the 60,000 or more that had been predicted. This was about the same number as mice have, and even the tiny worms called nematodes have about 14,000 genes. The number of genes in a given species, therefore, is not a measure of its complexity. Why had biologists so overestimated the number of genes in the human genome? Why is it unnecessary for complex animals such as mammals to have ten times as many genes as worms?
The answers to these questions were already hinted at more than four decades ago. At the time it was known that the bacteria E. coli, which normally live off the sugar glucose, are also capable of producing enzymes that digest other sugars, such as lactose. But biologists noticed that the bacteria only produce the enzyme when lactose is present in their immediate environment. Scientists could not explain how the E. coli somehow "knew" when the lactose-digesting enzyme would be needed.

Hi there,
I have a piece of code that uses lists instead of vectors and recently, it crashed, it ran out of memory. Long story short, if I use vectors instead of lists, the performance is much better and optimal (this I knew but I was lazy to translate all my code). However, there's one single line that I cannot efficiently translate and it's the one that uses the function member(). Before, I had the following (it's an oversimplification of my code in order to easily discuss it in here):
I frequently have a list of numbers and what I want is a sorted list of unique elements with a count of how many times each element appears. Is there some way to do this with ListTools?
Here is my code:
listhist := proc(L)local S, T, i;T := table(sparse):for i in L do T[i] := T[i]+1; end do;S := sort(map(op,[indices(T)]));[seq([i,T[i]], i=S)];end proc:

Songs In The Key Of Sin
By Noah Michelson
-- But you didn't seem like your usual self.
When was this?
Last May. And I heard that recently when you were playing the SXSW festival some fans yelled, 'Welcome back!' and you responded, 'Thank you. It's been a rough couple of years.' What were you referring to? Were you talking about record label woes?
No. That's just part of being a professional artist. You're going to have the drama. [Epic Records] wasn't a good place for me to be. It's good for some people but it wasn't supportive for artistry at the time. But now I'm with [Monte Lipman and Doug Morris at Universal Records] and they're really into creators. There are all kinds of people over there. I've known Doug since the mid-80s. He looked at me and he said, 'I know what you do. You're at a home now where I don't want you to be anybody but Tori and I want you to do what you do.'
That's a gift.
That's a huge gift. And I think in your life you don't always get to be with your mentor. And maybe because we were apart for 14 years -- we didn't even speak. It wasn't a bad thing. He left Warner Bros. -- he will tell you he was kicked out of the system, locked out of his office -- and then built this empire. And while he was building his empire I was meeting other people. And thank God I did because I met some amazing people. But a lot of people -- as soon as I met them, they would be axed. So I would just get to know somebody and then after seven months they're gone! So it was just me, Johnny [Witherspoon, her manager] and Chelsea [Laird, also her manager] really, and my crew and my team and the musicians but sometimes you're just sitting there thinking, 'Why am I handing my work over to these people who only see it as product?' It wasn't music. You know if people are excited about music or if they're just there to get the stock shares. And I was not in the right place. But some of those people are gone and they have a new group [over at Epic] and they've sent us really wonderful well wishes, but at the time they weren't there. What I would say to you when you talked to me in May was that I was in a terrible place. And during the last two years a lot has happened. But I wouldn't have written this record if I hadn't been pushed -- for all kinds of reasons. I don't want to go into all of it but 'Maybe California' doesn't come from nowhere. You're not able to write that by having a drink with somebody who's had the experience and you haven't. You have to be pushed to that place. And I figure if I could be pushed to that place, then other women have been pushed to that place.
We've seen it before with a lot of mothers. There isn't always a lot of support out there for them. And sometimes they just snap.
Maybe we're getting somewhere that I haven't gotten to before in interviews. Maybe because we've been programmed to be mothers in a certain way. And somehow, it's all good and well talking about being a mistress in the bedroom and a mother at play group, but in life and in reality your responsibilities change when you're bringing up another life. Maybe the last record helped me break down certain images I have of myself, but then events can happen to you that you just don't expect. Things happen to all of us that seem like this is a time that people are being pushed. Where I'm pushed, you could maybe sail right through. And vice versa. But yeah -- the last year and a half or two years, just circumstances seemed to happen.
But they got you to where you are now --
Yes --
You have a new album, you're creating, you seem to be thriving doing what you want to do --
I'm on my front foot, not on my back foot. There was a place when I think I was being defeated by circumstances but I've made a lot of changes in my life -- Universal Records is only one of them. So many aspects of my life -- Mark [Hawley, her husband and sound engineer], Tash [her daughter], and I are [clasps hands together] but there were moments when it was us against the world and questions about -- I have strong, strong ties to America. Strong. This is my home. England is not my home. And I really have been pushed to recognize that you can live in places for years and you're not home. I'm learning that you can live somewhere but you're really a guest there. And once you come to terms with it -- that you're not accepted there and that you're there because you love somebody -- you realize there are a lot of sacrifices that you made for love. So does that put strain? Of course it does. And especially if there are outside forces -- government forces -- loading their guns at you.
Government forces?
You have to figure -- I travel and play all over the world and governments are broke right now. So don't you think they're trying to come after people? And I've been caught between two governments. So this has forced me to learn about the power they have. 'Police Me,' 'Strong Black Vine' [from Abnormally Attracted to Sin] -- you think you're in the West, you think you're a part of a system of justice, but my God, what I've had to do in order to -- I mean, I have the strength to fight a government. Luckily mine is on my side.
But that's the thing -- it's the old clich': if you can come through these tests you end up all the better for it --
You do, but people kill themselves over stuff like this!
Of course.
When I wrote [Abnormally Attracted to Sin first single] 'Welcome To England,' England can be anywhere. It just so happens to be biographical because Mark is British. These forces were loading their guns and I was touring -- I almost don't want to say where I was because then that fucking tax man is going to say, 'You wrote it in our country!' Anyway, I got a phone call telling me, 'These guys are coming after you' and I thought But I'm an American and I've always done the right thing! Nobody cares. Nobody cares! That's why in the visualette there's Tori in an American flag jumpsuit because whether you are going to your partner's home or are around his friends -- it can be a country or it can just be going out to dinner and you just know I am not accepted! They don't want me here! And you try so hard to fit in and you start chopping off pieces of yourself to get along and you wonder where's the sage and the tobacco and the sacred smoke? Because the ancestors are not here -- they're just not here! You begin to say, 'There are people I like and there are things I like but in order for me to claim myself I just realized I've got to get on a plane and go back to what is my power spot.'
And that's America?
I see myself more as a citizen of earth and I'm not an expat -- I'm just not. And to be one of those Americans who knows 'I'm a guest' [in England] -- I've probably outstayed my welcome as far as the British government goes. But being forced to make a choice and then waking up one day and realizing you're forced to make that choice or it's being made for you and you're saying, 'Hang on a minute!' You can't just choose. So when you talked to me things were black and that's before a whole second part of the record got written and developed when I came back to the states for Comic-Con. And I was on my home ground where I wrote Little Earthquakes and there was a metamorphosis that happened. I passed by that little house where I wrote it and I thought, I took on a lot back then -- I can take this on. I can fight. But I had lost how to fight. I had to change everything to fight -- all kinds of people had to change. The one thing that kept me going was the love that Tash and Mark had for me. I just saw that I was becoming totally devastated and beaten. Look at the system and what the system has done and the way that people are so enslaved. And you look at Obama -- and I know he's one man but can he turn around the subjugation of the masses to the way the system is? You know, the tax system -- you have to be a fucking brain surgeon to figure it out. And I just think people are so burdened in our day-to-day existence -- how can relationships survive when you're thinking, Oh my God! The mortgage and the bills and the loans and the credit cards and the -- Fuck! And so it's not just the sexual programming, it's everything that has to crumble.

Bob Hoffman has a scorching post up at The Ad Contrarian, where he calls Pepsi's social media campaign, "The Pepsi Refresh Project" (Cost: "Tens of millions of dollars") both a disaster and a massive failure. Here is his money paragraph:
The Refresh Project accomplished everything a social media program is expected to: Over 80 million votes were registered; almost 3.5 million "likes" on the Pepsi Facebook page; almost 60,000 Twitter followers. The only thing it failed to do was sell Pepsi.
It achieved all the false goals and failed to achieve the only legitimate one.
As you might expect, there's a lively back-and-forth within the comments between those who see this as evidence that social media is a load of hogwash, and those who feel that judging social media by a single (albeit expensive and extensive) campaign is unfair and unwise.
To me, the key question is whether Pepsi Refresh is social media's Pearl Harbor or Waterloo?
There's no question that the results of the campaign were disastrous. Both Pepsi and Diet Pepsi have lost 5% of their market share in the past year, allowing Diet Coke to overtake Pepsi for the #2 position for the first time ever. Sugarcoat the results how you will, citing the backlash against sodas and high-fructose corn syrup, the point is that Pepsi bet that social media could help it gain on Coke, and it lost the bet. You can't declare victory when you've clearly lost.
But a more important question is whether this battle represents the end of a social media fad (Waterloo), or is simply a lost battle in a long and ultimately successful war (Pearl Harbor).
I find it hard to believe that in a world where consumers–especially young consumers–allocate an increasingly large portion of their time to consuming social media, anyone still thinks social media is a fad. Even if the change didn't show up in Pepsi sales, it certainly continues to show in declining TV ratings.
If anything, I lean towards viewing Pepsi Refresh as a Pearl Harbor–a disaster that marks the passing of one approach to social media, but which may serve as a harbinger of future triumph.
Pepsi Refresh was an attempt to apply a centrally directed traditional campaign approach to social media. You can't use a battle plan intended for battleships if you have a fleet of aircraft carriers. And Bob's words to the contrary, while Pepsi Refresh achieved social media numbers that seemed big, I question whether Pepsi's results even constituted social media success.
Take the 60,000 Twitter followers. Let's say Pepsi spent $30 million to amass 60,000 Twitter followers (obviously that wasn't their sole objective, but bear with me…). That's $500/follower. I have 3,400 followers. If Pepsi (or anyone) wants to pay me $1.7 million for my Twitter account, they can write me a check today.
The point is that Pepsi Refresh wasn't just disastrous in terms of offline sales; it was disastrous even by the measures of social media. Charlie Sheen has been on Twitter for less than a month, and he has nearly 3.2 million followers. That's social media success.
Yet even if social media as a medium isn't responsible for Pepsi's pain, social media evangelists aren't off the hook. Pepsi didn't just wake up one day and think that they could save tens of millions on marketing by shifting from TV to social media–there were plenty of gurus egging them on.
Social media will clearly play a critical part in the marketing mix of the future. But it's also clear that how you spend on social media matters. Brands need to keep investing in social media, but avoid the temptation to throw money at the problem under the assumption that a large enough buy will deliver the necessary results.
While the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor sank most of the U.S. Pacific Fleet's battleships, it failed to cripple the aircraft carriers, which were not in the harbor on December 7, 1941. Over the subsequent years, the U.S. Navy's carrier-oriented strategy allowed it to triumph over the Imperial Japanese Navy, despite its initial inferiority in ships and planes.
If brands (and agencies) realize that social media requires different tactics and strategy than traditional media, and continue to invest in experimentation and iteration, I believe that investment will pay off. As social media increases in importance to consumers, those who had the foresight to make *intelligent* investments will reap the rewards.

Just in time for summer, a hot weather-friendly viral fad called "cone-ing" is sweeping the interwebs. Phew, this means we can all stop "planking". Simply put, cone-ing, invented by Australian comedian Alki Stevens, is the act of grabbing a soft serve ice cream cone upside down thus creating the most awkward situation possible. Very awkward indeed, but sadly, a terrible waste of ice cream. My inner former fat kid is crying. [Cone-ing] Keep reading »
