LAS CRUCES — At 14 years and running, the Vans Warped tour has been around almost as long as its core audience has been alive. But it has remained true to its roots as a celebration of the underground and just-above-ground music that appeals largely to the high school and college crowd, mostly high school.
This year's edition returned to its regional home of six years, the intramural field at New Mexico State University, where attendance was down (about 9,300 showed up, a drop of more than 1,000 from last year), temps were up as usual (the high hit a tolerable 99 degrees) and the diversity of the expansive post-punk world never more plentiful.
The Cruces date, the fifth stop on the 46-city tour, featured more than 70 acts on eight stages, plus a few tents. They ranged from big names like Christian metal's Norma Jean and Tom Hoppe's trippy post-Blink-182 band, Angels and Airwaves, to perennials like Pennywise, that cleave to punk's anti-establishment aesthetic and newcomers like the Lordz, who weave punk, old-school rap and even Southern rock with attitude.
And there was a slew of poppy acts, including new pop provocateur Katy Perry, the "I Kissed a Girl" girl who has the No. 1 song in the country and the ninth best-selling album in the land. Very unpunk.
That's how punk Warped still is. Expect the expected and the unexpected.
Toss in a little social activism and eco awareness (the Lordz DJ hung a t-shirt that ordered "passion before fashion" on his turntables), a lot of merchandising, plenty of cold water and Powerade (at $2 a bottle) and not enough shade and you've got a sense of what it was like Thursday.
It's impossible to see every band on every stage of the daylong bacchanal of mirth, music, marketing and Mother Earth, but organizers do try to make it almost possible. They do a nice job of running on time, limiting performances to 30 minutes, synchronizing the set times and posting them on a big board near the two main stages.
I dropped in for about 3.5 hours in the afternoon (the hottest time, natch) and caught all or parts of a dozen acts. Standouts included Against Me!, the Florida foursome that made the most of its half-hour on the Highway 1 stage. Singer-guitarist Tom Gabel and crew pounded out eight songs in the kind of torrid, emphatic fashion one would expect from a band that brings a Clash-like sophistication and conviction to its songs about social ills and calls to action.
Norma Jean and Story of the Year throttled two of the bigger crowds; NJ on the Route 66 stage, SOTY on the Highway 1. The sheer intensity was more impressive than any particular song, and Norma Jean singer/shouter Cory Brandan scored the funniest line of the day when he described forthcoming album "The Anti Mother" as so angry "it'll make you want to punch a baby."
There was none of that going on, but Brooklyn's the Lordz delivered an inspired mix of old-school hip-hop and arena rock on the Hurley stage, where, in a sure sign of the heat, more people watched from a pair of tents about across the field instead of in front of the stage.
Hip-hop's Gym Class Heroes played the Route 66 stage and drew the biggest crowd during the time I was there, but their radio-friendly rhymes weren't particularly good or original. Kudos, though, to their call for a moment of silence for the late, great George Carlin.
I also caught parts of sets by the Briggs (rousing), Good Guys in Black (energized mix of punk and rap), Between the Trees (cloying teen pop), Shapes of Race Cars (dull), 1997 (great vocals, good youthful energy), Treaty of Paris (so-so) and Say Anything (who said a lot).
Is Warped getting too old? Nah. It's just growing up a little, but not too much. Otherwise it wouldn't be Warped anymore.

The winner of NYX Cosmetics' 2014 Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites Awards is Adelaine Morin (pictured with NYX Cosmetics executives), the face and voice behind YouTube channel C0OK1EMONSTER. NYX Cosmetics hosted the 3rd Annual NYX FACE Awards—a multinational competition to find the rising beauty star of YouTube—Aug. 22 at Club NOKIA in downtown Los Angeles.
Private-equity firm HCP & Co. has signed an agreement to sell its investment in NYX Cosmetics to L'Oréal, as part of the sale of the company.
"HCP has been an amazing partner to work with in growing the business. They have added tremendous value, and I would recommend this team to any entrepreneur or business owner," said Toni Ko, NYX's founder and chairwoman.
NYX Cosmetics will host its multinational competition FACE Awards to name the Beauty Vlogger of the Year on YouTube at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Aug. 22.
The third annual Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites Awards 2014 gives contestants a chance to win $25,000, consultations with pro makeup artists, a year's supply of NYX Cosmetics and the opportunity to build a promising professional career in makeup artistry.
Missy Lynn of YouTube channel start2finishmua is the winner of NYX Cosmetics' 2013 Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites Awards.
The Second Annual FACE Awards multinational competition discovering YouTube's rising beauty star was held at Siren Studios in Hollywood, California, Aug. 24.
NYX Cosmetics announced Aug. 29 it has expanded its retail partnership with Target to more than 1,000 doors across North America. That followed positive reaction to its entry in Target's Canadian market as well as an extremely successful test launch domestically.
"As a brand we are continuously looking for growth opportunities and strategic ways to make NYX more widely available to consumers," says Scott Friedman, NYX Cosmetics CEO.
NYX Cosmetics announced the appointment of Cristina Bartolucci—a beauty-industry veteran and co-founder of DuWop Cosmetics—as chief creative director on May 29.
Bartolucci will work alongside NYX Cosmetics founder and chief creative officer Toni K., providing leadership in product development, brand strategy and creative.

'Anti-loneliness ramen bowl' turns your phone into your date
Eating alone doesn't have to be so depressing anymore. MisoSoupDesign's "Anti-loneliness ramen bowl" fills your tummy up with warm and delicious noodles and also provides companionship for single men and women.
We don't have any qualms with eating alone, but some people just can't pry themselves away from their phones; even during a meal. Enter the anti-loneliness ramen bowl. The anti-loneliness ramen bowl is designed by Daisuke Nagatomo and Jan Minnie lets a person eat noodles and use their smartphone simultaneously. With it, you can watch a funny cat video, browse the Internet, or even video chat with someone else.
We're not saying it's a good idea to be glued to your phone all the time, but we also can't deny its usefulness when time is of the essence. And apparently, the bowl also doubles as a passive amplifying speaker, if that helps you justify it to yourself.
Don't pull out that credit card just yet. According to MisoSoupDesign's Facebook page, the bowls are still prototypes, but will be available soon.
Personally, we'd much rather prefer a noodle-shaving robot as an eating buddy instead.

home | metro silicon valley index | columns | i saw you
Motorist and Moron
For some reason you seemed to think I was following you too closely on my way home from work last week, so you took it upon yourself to slow down to a crawl, start weaving back and forth across the lane, come to a complete stop in the middle of the street three times, then bang a quick left in front of me (no directional of course, what a surprise!), all the while yukking it up with your buddy/moron in the passenger seat. The next time you decide to play your infantile little road games, the other driver won't be as forgiving as I was; hopefully, he'll drag you out of your car and kick some sense into you, you effing a-hole! Get a life and smarten up!!

Hitting the big time
Bobby "Fuse" Green's drawings, as a child growing up in east High Point more than 30 years ago, have led him today to an association with Nike Inc., professional basketball star Kevin Durant and tennis sensation Serena Williams.
Green, now living and working in New York City, contributed designs to the clothing and shoes for the Nike Black History Month campaign dubbed Be Bold Be True. The marketing highlights not only the athletic accomplishments of Durant and Williams, as well as international soccer player Didier Drogba, but their philanthropy and contributions outside the arena of sports.
For the 39-year-old Green, who grew up in the J.C. Morgan housing community in east High Point, the campaign represents the widest mass audience for his work that's inspired by hip-hop music and culture.
Green knew from the time he was a child that he wanted to design when he blossomed into adulthood.
"I always tell people when they ask that I could always draw before I could write. That was my early language," he said.
Green spent hours at his home as a youngster perfecting his first drawings, learning new ways to use shapes and colors to express ideas. As he grew up, his family and others around him noticed his talent and encouraged his pursuits.
"J.C. Morgan is dear to my heart. People were there for each other. Everyone I grew up with supported me at an early age," said Green, whose family remains in High Point.
Green was in the first class of young men who went through Brothers Organized To Save Others, a mentor group launched and run by community leader Hank Wall. Indeed, when Green was 13, his first design that appeared on a piece of clothing was for a BOTSO promotional shirt.
Green also received support as a youngster through the High Point YMCA Black Achievers program and as a little brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"It's been a passion for me since I was a kid," he said.
Today, Green has the opportunity to become involved in the Be Bold Be True campaign from the notice he earned during previous work with Nike.
"There's a sense of black history already in my work. My aesthetic in general interested the art directors there," Green said.
Green's ideas and designs show up in all of the graphics on the shoes, jackets and shirts as part of the Be Bold Be True line.
"It's about being bold in the way you play as an athlete and the statements you make in life, and being true to that, to what you believe in," Green said.
The campaign has allowed Green to come full circle to his youth. This weekend he's at the Nike corporate headquarters in Portland, Ore., as part of the Be Bold Be True campaign during February. Green will take part in a fundraiser to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters, one of the groups that meant so much to him as a child in his hometown.

The Caldwell community is in for a delicious night of education when the Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History hosts "All about Chocolate" at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, in room 103 of Boone Science Hall on The College of Idaho Campus. Participants will learn about and sample more than a dozen varieties of chocolate with Dr. Patrick Fields, a visiting botanist and chocolate expert. Admission is $15 per person, with all proceeds going to the museum.
Latino schoolchildren in the Caldwell area will have the opportunity to meet a NASA astronaut and learn about the benefits of continued education on Aug. 7 as The College of Idaho hosts "Reach for the Stars," a space-themed celebration featuring guest speaker Jose Hernandez. The free public event, set for 1 p.m. in Morrison Quadrangle at the heart of the College's Caldwell campus, includes a free BBQ lunch for the first 200 guests, guided tours of campus— including the Orma J.
Dr. Don Mansfield, a professor of biology at The College of Idaho, will use a $365,815 National Science Foundation grant to enhance what scientists and the public know about plants, lichens and fungi in southwest Idaho and surrounding areas. The NSF grant will be paid out over 36 months to fund SWITCH, a collaboration between C of I and Boise State University to create an online resource focusing on the unique botany of the region.

Advice: His fist pleases me more
I'm a single mom and had been out of the dating scene since my youngest (now 10) was born. I recently became involved with a man that introduced me to fisting. I have to admit, though, albeit strange and new, it was more pleasurable than his penis. I reached a more intense orgasm with his fist. Two-part question: Is fisting common or new? And why does he get mad at me after I've had a fist orgasm? It's not my fault his fist pleases me more. Thank you.

From humble beginnings in Sydney in 1993, Tropfest has grown into a series of events spread across nine countries. Now, it's the largest short-film fest in the world, and it landed with a splash last year in Bryant Park for its inaugural NYC edition. For its sophomore outing, the shindig is moving to Prospect Park's Nethermead. The free event, hosted by Liev "Sabretooth" Schreiber, will need the space: In addition to a full day of screenings (judged by a panel including author Malcolm Gladwell, WNYC's Leonard Lopate and actor-producer Fisher Stevens), there'll be live performances from such Brooklyn-appropriate names as Chairlift, Neon Indian (DJ set), Bear in Heaven, Ghost Beach and People Get Ready. Though Tropfest is free, reservations are recommended. Visit tropfestnewyork2013.eventbrite.com to save a spot.

Hurricane Sandy threatened to put the kibosh on idyllic summer days of crashing waves, sun-drenched picnics and walks in the surf. Thankfully, the parks department has been hard at work rebuilding the devastated and debris-littered oceanfront areas. With the exception of Fort Tilden in storm-battered Breezy Point, all of the city's public beaches will reopen on Memorial Day. Work on your tan at family-friendly standby Coney Island Beach, foodie and Ramones favorite Rockaway Beach or Orchard Beach, a mile-long stretch that's been dubbed "The Riviera of New York." Suck it, Sandy. Visit nycparks.gov for details. Beaches are open for swimming May 25–Sept 2.

At a Glance
Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act establishes a program under which certain hospitals may obtain significant discounts on drugs furnished to outpatients.
The program was first adopted in 1992, and in its early years, the 340B drug discount was available only to a limited group of hospitals, mainly consisting of public and private, not-for-profit hospitals in urban areas that treated a large proportion of low-income patients (disproportionate share [DSH] hospitals). Following 2003 amendments to the Medicare DSH statute and more recent changes to the 340B statute, a broader group of hospitals may qualify for the discount, including some rural hospitals and children's hospitals.
However, continuing controversies with the DSH payment calculation present ongoing challenges that can disqualify some hospitals that otherwise should qualify for the discount. Moreover, significant compliance issues involving Medicare provider-based rules can arise as hospitals of all types determine which patients are eligible to receive the discounts. Hospital administrators and financial officers should be familiar with the program and keep abreast of ongoing changes in the 340B program and relevant Medicare reimbursement rules that affect a hospital's continued participation in the program.
The 340B program's limited reach is driven, in part, by the statute's restrictive definition of "covered entity." To participate in the program as a covered entity for a current quarter, a hospital must meet each of the following criteria:
Ownership and operational requirements. The first criterion for hospital participation in the 340B program categorically excludes all proprietary hospitals. Not-for-profit hospitals are eligible for participation, but only if they are government hospitals or have a government contract to provide healthcare services to low-income patients who are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
Subsection (d) hospitals. Section 1886(d) of the Social Security Act is the statutory provision governing Medicare's original prospective payment system (PPS) for the operating costs of inpatient hospital services (42 U.S.C. § 1395ww[d]). Originally, the term subsection (d) hospital included any general acute care hospital except the types of hospitals that are exempt from the original PPS: long-term care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, children's hospitals, and certain cancer hospitals. However, the scope of the program recently was extended to include children's hospitals.
Critical access hospitals are also excluded from the 340B program, but for a slightly different reason. Critical access hospitals are reimbursed on reasonable cost basis (42 U.S.C. § 1395f[l]). They are excluded from the PPS, and they are not within the definition of a subsection (d) hospital because a critical access hospital, as defined in section 1861(mm)(1) of the Social Security Act, is generally excluded from the Medicare statute's definition of a hospital (42 U.S.C. § 1395x(e), 1395x(mm)[1]).
Conversely, other types of rural hospitals-which in some cases may not be paid the standard PPS rate per discharge-should be eligible for the 340B program if they meet the other criteria. Sole community and Medicare-dependent hospitals, for example, are subject to special payment provisions under section 1886(d) of the Social Security Act. In short, these hospitals are paid the greater of either (1) the standard PPS rate per discharge, including add-on payments for DSH, indirect medical education, and outliers, or (2) the hospital-specific rate per discharge, which may be derived from any one of several alternative base periods (whichever produces the highest hospital-specific rate).
Though sole community and Medicare-dependent hospitals are subject to these special payment provisions, which may produce payment in excess of the standard amount that would be paid under the PPS, they are still subsection (d) hospitals. These hospitals, therefore, should be eligible to participate in the 340B program if the statute is construed and applied in accordance with its literal meaning.
However, it may not be universally understood and accepted that these rural hospitals are eligible for the 340B program. The Office of Pharmacy Affairs, which administers the program, usually describes the types of hospitals that may participate in the program as "DSH hospitals," perhaps suggesting that a hospital must qualify for, and receive, a Medicare DSH payment to participate in the 340B program. And, as noted above, sole community and Medicare-dependent hospitals may be paid on the basis of their hospital-specific rate and may not receive a DSH payment when the hospital-specific rate produces a greater Medicare payment. In addition, at least some members of Congress apparently do not believe that the current law permits a sole community or Medicare-dependent hospital to participate in the 340B program. Just last year, a bill was introduced in Congress to "expand" the 340B program to include sole community and Medicare-dependent hospitals as well as critical access hospitals and rural referral centers (the 340B Program Improvement and Integrity Act, H.R. 206).
DSH adjustment percentage. Most rural hospitals, except critical access hospitals, are subsection (d) hospitals. However, until 2003, rural hospitals historically did not qualify for the 340B program because they generally could not establish a DSH adjustment percentage of at least 11.75 percent. As the term implies, the DSH adjustment percentage is the percentage add-on that is applied to the standard PPS rate paid for each discharge of a Medicare Part A beneficiary. As defined in section 1886(d)(5)(F)(vi) of the Social Security Act, this adjustment percentage is the end-product of a statutory formula that is based on a hospital's disproportionate patient percentage.
Prior to 2003 amendments to the Medicare DSH statute in the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, most rural hospitals and small urban hospitals with less than 100 beds were required to have a higher disproportionate patient percentage than larger urban hospitals to qualify for the Medicare DSH payment (42 C.F.R. § 413.106[b]). Moreover, different formulas were used to calculate the disproportionate share adjustment percentage, and the adjustment percentage for many rural hospitals was capped by law at a percentage below 11.75 percent.
With the 2003 amendments to the Medicare DSH statute, however, all hospitals may now qualify for the Medicare DSH payment if the hospital's disproportionate patient percentage is at least 15 percent. The amendments also raised the DSH caps to a 12 percent limit for some rural hospitals and eliminated altogether for others. Thus, while rural hospitals typically were not able to qualify for the 340B program in the early years of the program, the 2003 amendments made it possible for rural hospitals that treat a substantial proportion of Medicaid and low-income Medicare patients to qualify for the 340B drug discount.
Children's hospitals. Section 6004 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 made children's hospitals eligible to participate in the 340B program if they:
This year, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) published guidance establishing a process for children's hospitals to participate in the program (Federal Register, Sept. 1, 2009). This guidance details the specific requirements children's hospitals must meet:
A children's hospital that has already filed an application with HRSA to participate in the program must apply again in accordance with September 2009 guidance. Because the portion of the Deficit Reduction Act allowing children's hospitals to participate in the 340B program became effective on Feb. 8, 2006, a qualifying children's hospital can receive discounts retroactive to that date, provided it can document that it meets the following requirements:
Practically, these requirements may mean that children's hospitals will not obtain retroactive drug discounts.
The September 2009 guidance also provides that outpatient facilities of a children's hospital may be included in the 340B program if they are included on the facility's Medicare cost report or otherwise meet the Medicare "provider-based" rules, subject to audit by drug manufacturers.
The computation of the DSH payment has been a source of continuing controversy between hospitals and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) virtually since the inception of the Medicare DSH payment in 1986. These disputes not only affect the Medicare DSH payment, but may also cause a hospital to lose the 340B discount to which it is lawfully entitled.
As mentioned previously, a hospital's eligibility to participate in the 340B drug discount program for the current calendar quarter is based, in part, on the hospital's disproportionate patient percentage for its most recently ended cost reporting period. To implement this provision, the Office of Pharmacy Affairs publishes a quarterly listing of hospitals' disproportionate patient percentages. To qualify for a discount, a hospital must not only apply to the Office of Pharmacy Affairs, but also must be listed by the Office of Pharmacy Affairs as currently having a DSH adjustment percentage of at least 11.75 percent.
The percentages reflected on the quarterly listings are supplied to the Office of Pharmacy Affairs by CMS. In some instances, those percentages may be understated due to the application of a CMS payment policy or calculation that is contested by the hospital. The application of disputed Medicare DSH payment policies may dilute the Medicaid or Social Security Income (SSI) fractions-and thus cause a hospital to be disqualified for the 340B discount-by reducing the hospital's DSH adjustment percentage below the 11.75 percent qualification threshold.
Although a hospital may appeal its DSH payment determination to the Provider Reimbursement Review Board (PRRB) and ultimately to federal court, the appeal process usually moves at a glacial pace. Ordinarily, it may be five to seven years after the fiscal year in question before a hospital has an appeal heard by the PRRB. And in the event that the PRRB rules against the hospital, or the administrator of CMS reverses a PRRB decision in favor of the hospital, further proceedings may be necessary in federal court, and the judicial review process may add years more to the process.
The lengthy appeal process is particularly problematic for hospitals vis-à-vis the 340B program. For example, last year, the federal district court in Washington, D.C., issued a ruling requiring CMS to recalculate a hospital's SSI fraction from FY93 to FY96 to correct systemic errors and omissions in CMS's calculation of the SSI fraction (Baystate Medical Center v. Leavitt, 545 F. Supp. 2d 20, 22-23 [D.D.C. 2008]). The court's ruling reflects that some of those errors were discovered by the agency in 1995, but were not corrected or disclosed to affected hospitals until they were uncovered years later in litigation. Moreover, the errors in CMS's calculation tended uniformly to dilute the SSI fraction and thus resulted in a lower disproportionate patient percentage.
To the extent that the errors reflected systemic flaws in the agency's calculation of the SSI fractions for all hospitals in the country, they certainly had the potential to-and undoubtedly did-cause some hospitals not to qualify for the 340B drug discount that they otherwise would have been eligible to receive had the SSI fractions been calculated correctly. And, making matters worse for hospitals, the Office of Pharmacy Affairs apparently takes the position that hospitals not currently appearing on the quarterly listing may not qualify retroactively for the 340B discount based on subsequent corrections to its disproportionate share adjustment percentage (see www.hrsa.gov/opa/dsh.htm; see also Federal Register, May 1994).
The 340B program provides an opportunity for hospitals to achieve significant cost savings on outpatient drugs. Ongoing disputes surrounding the Medicare DSH payment calculation, and potential misunderstandings of the Medicare provider-based reimbursement rules, pose obstacles to hospitals that wish to continue or gain participation in the program. Eligible hospitals should pay close attention not only to the rules specifically governing the 340B program, but also to these Medicare reimbursement rules, to ensure their continued access to drug discounts available under the program.

Critics' Choice Awards
Joel and Ethan Coen's western noir "No Country for Old Men" was the big winner Monday at the 13th annual Critics' Choice Awards at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
The film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel picked up awards for best film of 2007, best director for the Coen brothers and best supporting actor for Javier Bardem as a well-coiffed assassin.
The 200-plus member Broadcast Film Critics Assn., which represents TV, radio and online critics in the United States and Canada, also chose Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor for "There Will Be Blood." Day-Lewis' win comes two days after he was named best actor by the National Society of Film Critics. Jonny Greenwood also won as best composer for "Blood."
Veteran Julie Christie was chosen best actress for "Away From Here" and Amy Ryan was named best supporting actress for "Gone Baby Gone." Both Christie and Ryan have won the lion's share of the critics' awards to date.
"Juno" won best comedy and best writer for Diablo Cody. "Hairspray" also received two awards, for best acting ensemble and best young actress for newcomer Nikki Blonsky.
Best young actor went to Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada for "The Kite Runner." "Enchanted" was named best family film, and "Ratatouille" took best animated feature honors.
Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," though not eligible for an Oscar nomination in the foreign film category, was named best foreign-language film. "Sicko," Michael Moore's examination of the healthcare industry, won the critics' choice for best documentary. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova received best song for "Falling Slowly" from "Once."
HBO's historical drama "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" received the best picture made-for-television award.
George Clooney presented the inaugural Joel Siegel Award to Don Cheadle. The award was created to honor those "in the film community whose work both on and off screen inspires and contributes to the good of humanity." The award was named after the BFCA member and longtime "Good Morning America" film critic who died of cancer last year.
D.L. Hughley hosted the event, which was broadcast on cable's VH1. The fate of the award ceremony had been up in the air because of the Writers Guild strike. But on Sunday, the Screen Actors Guild gave its members permission to attend and participate in the event.
In other award news, Roger Deakins received two nominations Monday in the feature film category for the 22nd annual American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Awards. Deakins was nominated for his work on "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and on "No Country for Old Men."
Deakins is the first cinematographer to receive double nominations in this category. Previously nominated five times for the ASC award, Deakins won for "The Shawshank Redemption" and for the Coens' "The Man Who Wasn't There."
Vying with Deakins for the award are Robert Elswit for "There Will Be Blood," Janusz Kaminski for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and Seamus McGarvey for "Atonement."
The winner will be announced Jan. 26 at the ASC gala at the Hollywood & Highland Grand Ballroom.
The Visual Effects Society also announced nominations Monday for its sixth annual awards. "I Am Legend," "Transformers," "The Golden Compass," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and " Spider-Man 3" are nominated for outstanding visual effects in a visual effects-driven motion picture.
"Ratatouille," "Zodiac," "We Own the Night," "The Kite Runner" and "Blades of Glory" are in contention for outstanding supporting visual effects in a motion picture.
The Visual Effects Society will also present Steven Spielberg with a lifetime achievement award. The winners will be announced Feb. 10 at a ceremony at the Kodak Theatre Grand Ballroom.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

The Best Beer Menus in America
In a wine-soaked restaurant world, these ten establishments give hope that the food-and-ale revolution is coming
By Evan S. Benn
Iron Chef Michael Symon may call Cleveland home, but he's put his best beer menu in Detroit. Symon's Roast boasts a stunning lineup of sour, acidic, and funky ales served in wine-size bottles, with the stated goal of turning wine drinkers on to beer, a project I'm more than willing to get behind. The kitchen's "Beast of the Day" and a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin's Noel de Calabaza, a Michigan-brewed Christmas ale aged in oak barrels, can provide you with all the warmth you need this winter.

My Workouts have become so lazy the last few times i've gone to the gym. After a couple sets, i hit a wall, get a headache and struggle to get through the rest of the workout. I eat about 40g of carbs, 38g of protein, and about 20g of fat usually 15-60 minutes before. Are any of these possibilities the cause?
- Not working out at a regular time
Being a student, I go to the gym when I can. Somedays I go at 10:30 am, other days I go at 3:00 pm, Noon, 5:00pm, it depends, but it is never the same time.
- Diet change
The last 2 weeks, I have added more fat and cut back on carbs, but still am getting roughly the same macro's.
-New Workout
2 weeks ago, I started a new workout. I workout each muscle group twice per week instead of once like I was doing before. Still lifting 4 days per week though.
Mental Outlook/Motivation
- I have some frustrations at home and with relationship stuff. These things always come in my mind when I am in the gym.
Would any of these be the possible cause? This is very frustrating. Thanks

What did Jesus teach about the Old Testament?
Many people today do not believe in the authority of the Old Testament as Scripture. However, Jesus had some quite different things to say regarding the Old Testament. Here is a brief list of some of what Jesus taught about the Old Testament:
- Source of Authority
- When confronted by Satan, Jesus appealed to the Old Testament as a source of authority by stating, "It is written," (Matt. 4:4, 7, 10).
- Imperishability
- "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished," (NASB, Matt. 5:18).
- Unbreakability
- "The Scripture cannot be broken," (NASB, Jn. 10:35).
- Source of Doctrinal Authority
- Jesus appealed to Scripture when correcting false doctrine stating, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God," (NASB, Matt. 22:29).
- Truthfulness
- "Your word is truth," (NASB, Jn. 17:17).
- Historical Reliability
- Jesus affirmed the historical existence of Jonah (Matt. 12:40), Noah (Matt. 24:37-38), and Adam and Eve (Matt. 19:4-6).
- Scientific Reliability
- Jesus affirmed that God created the world (Mk. 13:19; cf. Matt. 19:4).
- Old Testament Canonicity1
- Jesus made reference to the Law and Prophets as a unit, "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill," (Matt. 5:17).
- Jesus explained the Scriptures, "Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," (NASB, Luke 24:27).
- Jesus referred to the entire Canon by mentioning all the prophets from Abel (from Genesis, the first book and first martyr) to Zechariah (Chronicles, the last book, and the last martyr) (Matt. 23:35).2
What does this mean?
Since Jesus is God in flesh, performed a life of miraculous healings, died and the cross, and was miraculously resurrected three days later, what He taught on issues of doctrine are vastly important. Since He was God in flesh, whatever He taught is true. This means that we can trust the accuracy of the Old Testament Scriptures on issues of history, science, and moral instruction.
- 1. The word "canon" means basically "rule, standard, or norm." In this context, it refers to the accepted books that were in the Jewish Scriptures. These books were the standard by which the Jews taught and lived.
- 2. In the Jewish Canon of Scripture there were 24 books. They are exactly equivalent to the Protestant 39 books of the Old Testament, but they were just arranged differently. In the Jewish arrangement, the first book was Genesis and the last book was Chronicles.

Part.Controls Property
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Gets a ControlCollection object that contains the child controls for a specified server control in the user interface hierarchy.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
On an ASP.NET page, when controls are added declaratively between the opening and closing tags of a server control, ASP.NET automatically adds the controls to the containing server control's ControlCollection object. Any HTML tags or text strings that are not processed on the server are treated as LiteralControl objects. These are added to the collection like other server controls.
The Controls property allows you programmatic access to the instance of the ControlCollection class for any server control. You can add controls to the collection, remove controls from the collection, or iterate through the server controls in the collection.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Jim Lange, who hosted The Dating Game for more than 10 years beginning in 1965, died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack, The Associated Press reports. He was 81.
With new summer programming like what's on display tonight, it's enough to make you miss reruns. (Well, hello, CBS! We can always count on you to do things the traditional way — at least until Big Brother returns next month.)
You could do worse than re-watching Leonard's date with Penny on The Big Bang Theory, or Person of Interest's Reese protecting Astro from last season's The X Factor or Cho's first meeting with Samaire Armstrong on The Mentalist. You could do far worse.
You could, for example, watch your brain cells atrophy by tuning into Fox's hardly-fit-for-cable combo of goofy new meat-market dating shows. (The Dating Game's Jim Lange, I miss you.) In Take Me Out (8/7c), which might as well be called Date Or No Date, it's the guy on display, trying to charm a "flirty 30" bevy of bimbos before they turn out the light on their podium, signaling their disinterest.

Ever dreamed of dating Joe Jonas or Tyson Beckford? Fox's The Choice might just make that possible.

Fox's dark prince of reality TV, Mike Darnell, is dusting off a few of his old tricks. The network has ordered new summer dating game show The Choice, which uses spinning chairs reminiscent of NBC's The Voice and applies it to romance — with celebrities thrown in for good measure.
Hosted by Cat Deeley, The Choice, which debuts Thursday, June 7 at 9/8c, is a mash-up of The Voice and The Dating Game. Four single celebrities (to be announced later) will sit in...
