Under the Skin is a new film that will figuratively get under your skin with its nightmarishly surreal images and discomfiting plot. Simply put, it's a slow-burning, almost dialogue free collection of bizarre images that possess a creepiness that leaves its evocative residue all over your mind well after the credits have rolled by. The film is careful to make sure that the weirdness is couched in ideas, specifically notions about perception and how we look at one another often from unfamiliar perspectives. Ultimately, the film feels as though it should have been fleshed out into something on an expanded scale with a more substantive engagement with its ideas. A perfect film, no. A must-see film, absolutely.
Last year, the psychological thriller Prisoners was a break out hit for Canadian director Denis Villeneuve. With his follow-up film Enemy, once again starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the director embraces Hitchcockian style and atmosphere over formal plotting. Enemy is a kind of tone poem of dread and anxiety that I suspect will leave many a viewer grumpy and unsatisfied (more description would only spoil it). I for one enjoyed Villeneuve's playful antics and commitment to the project over any kind responsibility to provide viewers with a conventional follow up. Fans will either love the Kafkaesque horror of the film or despise it for its provocative resistance to philistinism. You decide.
Writer Patricia Highsmith's novels have been adapted for the big screen on more than one occasion. Clearly, directors from varied backgrounds have felt something motivating in her twisting tales of deception and murder. Her ominous story (The Talented Mr. Ripley) of a young American sent to Italy to return an expatriate, school chum to his father in San Francisco was the inspiration for French director Rene Clement's (Forbidden Games) Purple Noon. This stylish, Hitchcockian adaptation was the coming out party for 1960's French heartthrob Alain Delon as Tom Ripley, the cold and calculating con man who wants more than just a courier fee for the return of the glib, rich boy. German director Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire) took Highsmith's Ripley's Game and transformed it into The American Friend (1977), a beautifully shot thriller that burns slowly as a psychological portrait of desperation into one of unleashed madness, if not comically so. The late British director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient) made a patchy version of The Talented Mr. Ripley starring Jude Law, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Matt Damon in 1999.
I Geek Action Movies and as you can guess love Jason Statham movies. I watched HomeFront this weekend and it delivered. It had fights, brawls, knives, pistols, mini guns, shot guns, explosions, and a cute little kitty cat. All the stuff I like to see in a movie. In HomeFront Jason Statham is a form DEA agent who after his wife dies moves to a small town to raise his daughter. Unfortunately Gator Bodine (James Franco) is running a major meth lab and he and Jason "have words". Get this and many other movies at KPL.
I was afraid that the movie You're Next was going to be just another slasher movie. Go for the gore, forget about the plot. But I was pleased with You're Next. It did have the blood splashings and it did have a guy get shot in the head with a crossbow but it also had a guy get shot in back with a crossbow and a guy get his head caved in by a meat cleaver and a guy get his head chewed up by a blender. So yeah it had the gore. It also tried for the freaky suspense and the bad guys wore animal masks. Always creepy when can not see your attackers face and even creepier if he is wearing a mask. I gotta say it did enhance my movie experience to see a guy in a lambs head mask take a sledge hammer and use it like a golf club or maybe a crochet mallet to the head of one of their prey. It also had a bit of a mystery to it. Why are they being attacked. Mostly the suspense was what will happen next. Oh, and I did learn a few things, like if you take a board and drive nails through it, it makes a good deterrent for anyone sneaking in through your window, but it also makes them good and mad. If you are looking for a horror type movie but with humans in animal masks, try You're Next available with many other titles at KPL.
As a new parent, my interest in stories of kidnapping and child abduction has suspiciously dwindled, and yet the stellar reviews for Denis Villeneuve's recent film Prisoners compelled me to watch it. In it, Hugh Jackman plays Keller Dover, a survivalist father whose daughter goes missing along with her best friend. A suspicious camper is seen in the nearby area, and when the police attempt to question the driver, he behaves erratically and tries to flee. The suspect, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), is arrested, questioned, and his camper and home are combed over by a forensic crew. No evidence is discovered, and the police deem Jones to be mentally incapable of taking the children without a leaving a trace, so he is released. This incenses Dover, who believes the children are still out there, waiting to be rescued. When it's clear that the lead detective, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, has moved on to other leads, Dover decides to take the matter into his own hands. He kidnaps Jones, holes him up in an abandoned building, and proceeds to torture the suspect in hopes that it will lead to the whereabouts of the girls.
Despite the bleak premise, Prisoners ends up sticking with you for all the right reasons. The film dares you to question how far you would go to rescue your own endangered child. At once you want Dover to push through the barriers created by a plodding police investigation, yet his vigilantism clearly veers out of control. We've seen Jones behave villainously, but by the time Dover has beaten him to an unrecognizable pulp, it's hard not to feel reluctant sympathy. On top of this, Villeneuve does a great job getting the viewer to wonder whether or not Jones is guilty; in one great sequence, Dover believes he hears Jones say something incriminating under his breath that no one else around them catches, and smartly, the audio is too muffled to allow the audience to hear it either.
Prisoners succeeds in no small part because of its actors: Hugh Jackman gives a performance that in less-crowded years might have been considered for a Best Actor Academy Award nomination; Paul Dano is reliably creepy; Melissa Leo continues her streak of stellar turns; and Jake Gyllenhall brings the right level of world-weariness to the lead detective who seems to be hindered by an overwhelming bleakness that has beaten him down over the years.
When I first saw a preview for Prisoners I was put off by what seemed to be a very by-the-numbers revenge mystery. Thankfully, the film turned out to be so much more, and as I settle into this pre-Oscars period of assembling my favorite films of the past year, it's looking more and more like this movie I cannot shake is going to make my top ten.
As rabid a film watcher as I am, time restrictions will forever thwart my capacity to plow through KPL's stellar movie collection but here is an abbreviated list of some of my favorite films from KPL's collection, watched over the past year. While we add new releases each week, don't forget about the diversified depth of our collection. We can't purchase every movie that is requested or inquired about but we can work toward the goal of having most titles for most of our patrons, most of the time. Upstream Color: With the exception of the increasingly abstract, fragmented and non-linear narratives of Terrence Malick, there have been few notable American films over the past decade or so that have attempted to remake the kind of Eurocentric, anti-classical/realist/romantic films of the 1960's and 70's (think: Godard, Bresson, Tarr, Tarkovsky, Resnais, Warhol, Antonioni). With Upstream Color, a sort of Hiroshima Mon Amour for our contemporary times, one hopes that young filmmakers will continue to take the value of abstraction seriously, reimagining it in new and thoughtful ways. Hedwig and the Angry Inch: A film that came out (pun intended) way ahead of its time. It's kind of an absurdist musical that is in-your-face bonkers, but bonkers in the most vital, transgressive and beautifully rebellious way. A postmodern Hair. Young Adult: Charlize Theron gives a great performance as an unraveled mess of a person that attempts to transition from a life of boredom and narcissism toward a more complete, self-aware state where the adjective 'young' can finally wither away. Sullivan's Travels: I checked this film out because the great American director Preston Sturges' name kept popping up in literature on director/writer Wes Anderson (a favorite of mine). This well-written and acted screwball comedy hits the mark and lives up to its acclaim as one of the 1940's best films. My Dinner with Andre: A film like few others--this conventions-busting mixture of fiction and nonfiction, storytelling and improvised riffing will either bore you into slumber or thrill you with its originality. We almost forget, due to the strong writing, that the great French autuer Louis Malle was its director. Insignificance: I'm still not sure I 'get' this peculiar film but it was certainly compelling, the way in which a film can unfold as both an irritant and a puzzling enigma. Hiroshima Mon Amour: Before I saw this Alain Resnais masterpiece about memory, love and loss, I considered Harold and Maude my favorite film. Now it's number two. 12 Angry Men: Watch this fictional, court room drama and then the documentary The Central Park Five. The very notion of facts, evidence, justice and human objectivity are brilliantly rendered as a hollow collection of outdated concepts with tragic application. Hunger: Not to be mistaken with Steve McQueen's first film about the imprisonment of IRA soldiers of the same name but rather the nimble and haunting adaptation of the classic, existential novella by Danish writer Knut Hamsun. Summer with Monika: Arguably, my favorite film of Bergman's but nowhere near his best. That distinction belongs to his magnum opus Scenes from a Marriage, a film that should only be approached by the single and the happily married couple. Rules of the Game: My goal for movie watching this year was to view a handful of those classics considered important to the historical development of the art form according to the Sight and Sound Magazine's list of 250 Greatest Films; a list created every ten years by an esteemed cadre of critics. Renoir's masterpiece (rated at No. 4) is there for a reason and its influence can be seen in almost every film made since 1939 that skewers the vacuity of the rich and clueless. La Jetee/Sans Soleil: Made by maverick film essayist Chris Marker, these two films are quite distinct from one another in both content and style. Both represent the best in avant-garde, envelope-pushing cinema that emerged parallel with the various manifestations of the European New Wave movement. Picnic at Hanging Rock: This 70's cult classic by Peter Weir still holds up as a truly original film that tackles the subject of loss, regret and repressed longing, all of which are tied to a mystery that leaves an Australian women's school in shock and confusion. Other notable films: L' Avventura, Stroszek, Bringing Up Baby, Amarcord, The Killing, Neighboring Sounds, Damnation, The Lives of Others, Magnificent Ambersons, Harvey, Pat and Mike, The Third Man, Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, The Searchers, Elevator to the Gallows, As I Lay Dying, Cleo from 5 to 7, Frances Ha, The Silence, Winter Light, Cries and Whispers, Blast of Silence, Through a Glass Darkly, Argo, Shallow Grave, Band of Outsiders, Fanny and Alexander, Mud, Harry and Tonto, Chasing Ice, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Usually I am disappointed with Cuba Gooding Jr. movies. Maybe I lowered my expectations or maybe this is a good movie, you watch and decide. The Ticking Clock is about a true crime reporter becoming involved in a murder. When Lewis Hicks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) girlfriend, or maybe better said the woman he is seeing while he is separated from his wife, is murdered. Lewis chases the guy and in a scuffle the murderer drops his journal. When Lewis reads the journal there are entries for more murders to take place in the future. Keech (Neal McDonough) is our murderer and he makes a good one. Lewis is not liked by the police as he has written negative things about them in previous articles so they are not very willing to help him. Everything keeps pointing to a 9 year old boy in an orphanage who is interested in science and time machines. Keech is that grown up boy and is traveling back in time murdering people thinking that he can change things and make his future better. He murders his abusive mother but instead of making things right he is now raised by his aunt and she is worse. Lewis investigates and finds this boy at the orphanage and visits him, takes him to the zoo, is tempted to smother the boy with a pillow and change the future. I think my problem with Cuba Gooding Jr. is his face. He has a face for stern, or mad or thinking and it is the same face. His smiling face is a little different.
The less I say about the BBC America thriller Orphan Black, probably the better. Full of suspense, the show centers around Sarah, a drug-dealing petty criminal who suddenly finds herself in the middle of a mystery when she sees a woman jump in front of a subway train. The thing is, the woman looks like her—and not just a little bit, but exactly like her. Sarah then embarks on a journey to find out who the dead woman is and ends up questioning her own story. The plot is fascinating and always surprising; there are no red herrings here. As details unfold, perspectives change but nothing is thrown in just as a ploy to lead the audience astray (a sign of a good mystery if you ask me). Tatiana Maslany, the star of the show, does an excellent job playing multiple, demanding roles that would not work in the hands of a less talented actress. Orphan Black will definitely make it onto my "best of 2013" list.
In The Apparition four college kids perform an experiment trying to recreate the Charles experiment from the 1970s, only this time they want to manifest the spirit into this world. They have a figurine of Charles that they concentrate on and with the help of computers magnify their concentration from 4 to 4,000 and it works. The table shakes, the figurine is smashed, lights flash and Lydia is sucked through a wall. I thought ok the spirit is here but the movie fades out and we meet Ben, one of the original four apparently a few years/months (not sure which) later with his girlfriend, Kelly. They are house sitting for her parents in a housing development which is mostly vacant, a good setting for a spirit to haunt. Ben checks his email and has numerous messages from Patrick his old buddy from the experiment. Patrick is played by Tom Felton who was Draco in the Harry Potter series. Patrick has sent message after message increasing in urgency saying Ben is in danger. Kelly is taking a shower and we see spirit stuff. The soap goes all fungus looking and the real horror, all of Kelly's clothes which are hanging in the closet are tied in knots. We are then treated to a lot of convincing spirit in the house sounds, they did a good job with this part. Ben finds out that Patrick has reopened the rift and a spirit wants into our world. They think they can send it back by playing the sounds from the original experiment backwards. This reminded me of my youth when they thought there were satanic messages on a vinyl record if you played it in reverse. I think the movie plot pushed the recreate experiment too far. First they recreate the 1970s, ok that's a good premise, but then they leave it and allude to recreating the recreation and this time the spirit is unleashed, the rift was widened. It was big enough to suck Lydia through the first time and what happened to Lydia, we hear nothing more of her. Ben and Patrick set up their equipment, we see a diagram of the house and all the devices sync up, Patrick amplifies, we hear the sound track played in reverse, the spirit makes sounds, the house cracks, this is one big spirit and then nothing… I thought it was an anti-climactic ridding of the spirit. But that was because (spoiler alert) the spirit is not really gone. I liked the build-up to the spirit coming and the sound effects but one recreation was enough. Give it a watch sometime, especially at night, preferable when it is stormy and you are alone.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hello, 2014! Before we crack open the new year, let's close the books on what was a very big 2013 in biotech investing.
And yes, investors did very well in biotech in 2013. This chart says it all:
IBB data by YCharts
In a year where the markets outperformed, the biotech sector performed even better, posting returns not seen since 1999. Phenomenal. No wonder we saw a huge influx of generalist investors into healthcare stocks in 2013.
I'm a skeptic and always nagging readers about risk, so you know I have to point out something for biotech investors to worry about.Biotech stocks underperformed the S&P 500 in the fourth quarter:
IBB data by YCharts Biotech stocks rallied in December but the significant selling in October could not be overcome. Generic drug maker Lannett Co. (LCI) was the sector's top-performing stock, with a return of 567%. Here's what that looks like in chart form:
LCI data by YCharts The rest of the Top 10: Chelsea Therapeutics (CHTP) 484%
Inovio Pharma (INO) 481%
Puma Biotech (PBYI) 452%
Acadia Pharma (ACAD) 437%
BioCryst Pharma (BCRX) 435%
Idera Pharma (IDRA)420%
Arrowhead Research (ARWR) 407%
Gentium (GENT) 403%
Insys Therapeutics (INSY) 400% A single biotech and drug stock (Lannett) posted a six-fold bump in share price this year. Nine stocks increased in value by five times, 3 stocks quadrupled in value and 26 stocks tripled in value, according to S&P CapitalIQ. Not all biotech and drug stocks fared so well in 2013: The biggest losers were: Celsion (CLSN) -89%
Aastrom Biosciences (ASTM) -87%
Cardium Therapeutics (CXM) -78%
Cel-Sci (CVM) -78%
Aveo Pharma (AVEO) -77% Enjoy New Year's Day. Tomorrow, we'll get started covering biotech 2014.

What was billed as Italy's first gay cruise took place last month, and by all accounts it was a resounding success. There was just one small hitch: Somehow a heterosexual couple ended up on board -- and they weren't at all happy about it.
News outlets in Europe this week are all atwitter over the story of the Italian couple, who now are suing the cruise line after reportedly being flummoxed by the experience.
The UK's Daily Mail today reports the middle-aged husband and wife, who have not been named, said they booked the trip directly with the line and claim they were never told of the gay theme. The couple's lawyer tells the news outlet all 1,500 passengers on the ship were gay and events on board were gay-focused.

Is there anyone better right now than Mindy Kaling? Just two days after the news broke that NBC has signed Mindy to a multi-year Tina Fey-style development deal, her character Kelly Kapoor engaged in a hilarious dance-off with Ed Helms's Andy on The Office last night. It was hard not to view it as a victory dance. Here it is:
Mindy has also been killing it on Twitter lately:
Haha, the frustration! Hopefully most of Mindy's followers got the joke. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your fans.

In September we launched a new 'Personal License' option which allows iOS and Android users to make an in-app purchase to access Mobile Learn. While we recognize this is a big shift in direction, we are confident that this change ultimately benefits all of our users. We wanted to clarify our thoughts and reasons behind this new change here.
Why change?
We thought it was time to evolve our business model. And your feedback contributed to that decision.
When we launched in 2010, we encouraged Blackboard Learn customers to license our mobile apps on behalf of their users (students, faculty, etc). This meant that if an institution had not licensed Blackboard Mobile Learn, its students wouldn't be able to use the app to interact with their courses. As result of a partnership with Sprint, we also provided a free option for institutions, which allowed them to provide students and faculty with access to Blackboard Mobile Learn at no cost if they were on the Sprint network, or on iOS over WiFi. While this option had some benefits (no cost to the university and very easy to set up), it caused some understandable frustration for users since not all devices and network types were supported.
This led us to conclude that we needed a new business model-- a model that is fair for our Blackboard Learn customers, and isn't confusing for students and faculty; a model that lends itself to a better experience with our product; and a model that still allows us to make the ongoing investments we intend to make to continue developing and improving Mobile Learn. So, we decided to create the Personal License model. If you are a student or faculty at an institution that has not yet licensed Mobile Learn, we're giving you the option of purchasing access to the application using an in-app purchase. This purchase will allow you to use the application and all of its features across any network type (WiFi, cellular, etc) for the term of your purchase. If you prefer to wait in case your institution licenses Mobile Learn on your behalf, you can choose to do so-- but we felt it was important for you to have this choice.
I get that you changed the model. But why didn't you change Blackboard Mobile Learn to be free?
While we'd love for as many users as possible to have access to Blackboard Mobile Learn, we need to generate revenue in order to fund our team's ongoing investment in supporting and developing our products. We did explore other revenue-generating options beyond in-app purchases, such as advertising. We believe that it's challenging to implement advertising (and other non-user-incurred) revenue models in mobile applications without diluting the user experience. And we believe firmly that the experience one has accessing their educational content should not be diluted with advertising.
Furthermore, we believe that $1.99 for life is an affordable price to use an application that makes it more simple and elegant to access course content, contribute to discussions, upload documents, and take tests (among many other things!) from a mobile device. We don't expect users to make these in-app purchases if they don't find our application worth it. And it is this precisely this expectation that will make us constantly strive to craft the Blackboard Mobile Learn experience with such excellence that users will pay to use our service. In a way, this shift in our business model establishes a necessary trust-relationship between Blackboard Mobile and its users that didn't exist before; our end users are now our customers. If we don't serve you well, develop new and exciting things and address your feedback and concerns, we don't expect you to use our service and pay for our software.
Can I expect you to add new stuff to Blackboard Mobile Learn?
We're working very hard to add new features to Blackboard Mobile Learn, to improve existing parts of the applications, and to address feedback on stability and bugs reported by our users.
First, on Support: We encourage our users to report any issues (crashes, bugs, ideas, suggestions) to our support portal in the Help section of the application or at help.blackboardmobile.com. We have millions of users accessing Mobile Learn around the world, at different institutions which all have different technical configurations. This makes it difficult to address feedback when it comes in the form of App Store or Google Play reviews. It pains us to read about frustrating bugs or crashes reported in reviews that we can't investigate (not to mention communicate about resolution) since these reviews are anonymous. We'd never discourage you from speaking your mind in an App Review, but we ask that you reach out to us if possible on our help portal so we can actually diagnose and resolve the issue. You'll find that we have an eager support team, hungry to find and squish as many bugs as possible.
And, with respect to new features and development: YES. We've got lots of plans for improving Mobile Learn. There's a lot we want to build, and a lot we want to improve. You have our commitment that we're investing significantly in building new, exciting things with Mobile Learn to make accessing your courses better, faster and more conducive to learning.

Linux® platforms manage locale settings with six locale categories. These are the same categories used by C standard library functions.
The following locale categories are available:
LC_CTYPE controls character data manipulations.
LC_COLLATE controls character collation/sorting operations.
LC_TIME controls date/time data formatting or parsing.
LC_NUMERIC controls numeric data formatting or parsing.
LC_MONETARY controls monetary data formatting or parsing.
LC_MESSAGES controls the user UI language.
Use the LANG environment variable to specify a single locale for all locale categories. The locale specified with this variable might be partially or entirely over-written by other environment variables.
Use the environment variables LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_TIME, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_MONETARY to specify a locale for a particular category.
Use the LC_ALL environment variable to over-write all locales specified with other environment variables. If a single locale has to be set to all locale categories, use LANG instead of LC_ALL.

DETROIT--The judge overseeing Detroit's bankruptcy case Aug. 28 ruled the city may keep collecting casino revenue tied to swaps contracts that are subject to a disputed settlement, denying bond insurer Syncora Guarantee Inc. the right to capture the revenue while the court considers whether to approve the settlement (In re City ofDetroit, Bankr. E.D. Mich., No. 13-53846).
Separately, Judge Steven Rhodes said he won't consider challenges to the bankruptcy that involve "issues of material fact," such as whether the bankruptcy filing violates pension protections enshrined in the Michigan constitution, as part of his determination as to whether Detroit is eligible to file for bankruptcy, saying those questions may be raised later in the process.
"There is no legal support for either of Syncora's arguments," Judge Steven Rhodes said at the start of a status hearing on the issue. "Syncora is not a swap participant as that term is defined by the bankruptcy code," nor does the company have a lien on the casino revenue, he said. The casino revenues are city property and therefore subject to the stay, he said.
The city is seeking court approval of a settlement with the banks, UBS AG and Bank of America, that would allow it to keep the revenue in exchange for a reduced payout. Syncora argues that it should not be forced to accept the settlement amount, since it was not a party to the settlement agreement.
Rhodes said he will hear arguments on the issue Sept. 23 and 24; he originally scheduled a hearing for Sept. 9, but agreed to give attorneys more time to assemble testimony. The city will have four hours to make its case, and the objecting parties will have five hours. Rhodes directed the two sides to work together on a joint presentation explaining the swap contracts.
City attorneys also agreed to remove a requirement that creditors sign non-disclosure agreements before being allowed access to a "data room" containing financial information, and renegotiated a contract with its pension actuary, Milliman Inc., to remove a confidentiality clause. Rhodes, at an earlier hearing, questioned the need for the requirement (25 BBLR 1185, 8/29/13).
City attorneys said the casino revenue will provide economic benefit to the city as it restructures and attempts to meet its obligations to creditors, including pension plans.
"The court fully recognizes and appreciates the extraordinary importance of the pension rights of the city's employees and retirees in this case and of how the city will ultimately propose to treat those rights," Rhodes wrote in the order. However, he said, the city does not need to "prove that any particular plan that it might later propose is confirmable" in order to be eligible to file for bankruptcy.
"The court fully preserves the opportunity of all parties to present their positions relating to the city's treatment of pension rights when the debtor requests confirmation of a plan, or, perhaps, in some other appropriate context," Rhodes wrote.

Inside Syria: A Rebel Stand That May Not Be Enough
As a "cease-fire" crumbles into massacre, sectarian violence, and perhaps full-on civil war, the Free Syrian Army has taken up arms amidst the Assad regime. Two war correspondents recently travelled to the outskirts of hell to find out if the local opposition can protect a country on their own.
By Benjamin Hall /// Photographs by Rick Findler
If you want evidence that the Kofi Annan cease-fire plan never worked, look no further than the town of Klle, where the Syrian army attacked with tanks, helicopters, dynamite and bulldozers, flattening many streets. While Assad claims that he is fighting terrorists, Ali, the rebel commander (pictured), says the residents of these buildings the residents of these buildings were all innocent families, many of them old and very poor.

The Manitowoc Company agreed to sell Kysor/Warren to Lennox International for approximately $138 million.
The sale includes the Kysor/Warren refrigerated display merchandisers manufacturing business in Columbus, GA as well as Kysor/Warren de Mexico. Kysor/Warren had been one of many brands in the Manitowoc commercial foodservice equipment business.
"Refrigeration is a core business for us with solid long-term performance," said Todd Bluedorn, CEO of HVAC/R producer Lennox International. He said the Kysor/Warren acquisition supports the Lennox growth strategy in the refrigeration market and extends the value chain to food retail and supermarket customers. "Our refrigeration subsystems combined with Kysor/Warren's systems and display cases will enable us to provide complete refrigeration solutions utilizing the most advanced technologies to maximize energy efficiency for our customers. We will drive operational synergies in the combined business and expect the acquisition to be accretive within the first year. We still expect our Refrigeration segment margin to be in the 12-14% range for 2012."
Lennox International's refrigeration segment revenue – 18% of total company revenue - was up 11% and segment profit was up 44% for the first nine months of 2010 over the prior year. Refrigeration segment revenue was $513 million for 2009 and is expected to be approximately $560 million for 2010. Kysor/Warren had $145 million in revenue for 2009, and 2010 revenue will exceed $190 million.
"This divestiture will allow us to intensify the focus on our strategic imperatives including greater innovation around our core brands, improving operational efficiencies across our global footprint, and driving organic growth opportunities," said Glen E. Tellock, Manitowoc's chairman and CEO. Manitowoc will use the net proceeds of approximately $100 million from this sale to further reduce its secured debt and financial leverage.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011

As we've already reported, it looks like Facebook Connect will be taking off after all. Facebook Connect gives you the ability to log into other websites via your Facebook account, track what your friends are doing on those sites, and also broadcast the comments you make on those sites in your stalker friend feed.
Although Facebook Connect is still in its infancy (it launched on November 30, 2008), TechCrunch has decided to become an early adopter and roll it into their comments platform. Now when you want to post a comment on a TechCrunch blog post, all you'll need to do is login to your Facebook account and it will populate the rest of the data for you (name, email, website, etc). The next time you come back to comment, you'll just have to press the "Connect" button and you'll be logged in and ready to comment.
The one problem I have with Facebook Connect is that "your name conveniently links to your Facebook profile as well, making it easier for other commenters to get in touch with you and perhaps become your virtual friends."
Personally, the last thing I want to do is open up my personal Facebook account to the hundreds of commenters on TechCrunch (or any blog for that matter). This seems like an open invitation for spam. Many people use Facebook as just another networking tool, and maybe that's what Facebook wants us to do, but I've always preferred to pick and choose my Facebook friends carefully. Facebook opens up your life in a way other social networks don't. I try and limit my Facebook connections to friends and family.
What do you think about Facebook Connect? Do you open up your Facebook account to people you don't know?

Top Picks for Tablet PCs
Paper and pen is so old school. The latest in note-taking: tablet PCs. With a stylus, notes can be written right on-screen, and software, sold separately, converts words to type. We tested seven tablets, most with screens that pivot to rest atop the keyboard.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Archos 9 PC Tablet ($429)
Testers liked this tablets size and portability making it an option if you will be carrying it with you to class or work. It is designed for web browsing and has a built in camera and kickstand that props the screen up. It is slow to respond and open programs. Some testers had trouble typing on the keyboard so if you plan on taking a lot of notes, this may not be your best option. Available at amazon.com
- Small, lightweight
- Stylus responds well
- Testers liked its size and portability
- Built in kickstand
- Built in camera
- Designed for web browsing
- Very quiet during operation
- Slow to respond and open programs
- Keyboard takes up most of the screen when its not hidden
- Touch scrolling is poor
- Limited connections
- Testers didnt like the touchscreens sensitivity
- Testers had trouble typing on and using the keyboard
- Only a 1 year warranty
- Poor startup time
- Poor file transfer time

That was a noble thing that Manny Pacquiao put out there last week. He challenged Floyd Mayweather to fight him for Free and whatever money is raised, they donate to Charity. It sounds good but that will never ever happen. Floyd Mayweather has gone on record and said that he is a Prizefighter which means he fights for money. It's not about Legacy, it's not about what people say, it's about Money. That is why he changed his moniker from Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather to Floyd "Money" Mayweather.
So for all those fans that are still hoping to land a Manny Pacquiao fight forget it. Floyd has 4 fights left in his contract and it won't be Pacquiao. The cold war between networks and promoters is far from over and Floyd is going to generate enough money with Showtime that he does not need "ONE" big payday. Sorry to let you fans down, and I tried to do it easily. The fight will not happen for Free and it won't happen for MONEY. Let's move on now, nothing to see here.

i received lipo of my flanks for a brazilian butt lift. although i am only two days post op, i dont see much difference.since i am swollen and some of the fat will die is this the biggest my butt will be? i think my surgeon said he was only able to inject 150cc per side. is this to little?
Doctor Answers (5)
150cc Brazilian Butt Lift
Hi there-
I agree with my colleagues that it is far too early in the recovery process for you to be seeing your final outcome.
On the other hand, I also believe that 150 cc is a very small volume of grafted fat-
Your best bet is to complete the recovery process and then assess your outcome. If your would like further enhancement, you will need to discuss this with your surgeon, as revision/secondary Brazilian Butt Lift procedures are even more challenging.
Web reference: http://www.orlandobrazilianbuttlift.com
Brazilian Butt enhancement
The reslts of Brazilian Butt Enhancement is a matter of contouring the body and the areas around the buttocks by liposuction.
The usual amount of fat injected in each butt is 400-800 cc . It usually depend on how much fat do you have to be liposuctioned, cleaned and prepared then injected as pure fat for better take of the graft. Brazilian butt enhancement is technique dependant. The surgeon experience and your willing to understand all aspects of Butt Enhancement is crucial for a good result. You have to wait till all the swelling is gone and time has passed for the fat to take, That may be up to 12 weeks.
Cosult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in Butt enhancement of all methods
Doubt that 150 is the number
Results of your Brazilian Butt lift should be immediately apparent as far as your butt is concerned. Any swelling that is present in your buttocks would make them look even bigger right now. A volume as small as 150cc is not likely to make any visible improvement in anyone. If only 300cc was available from your liposuction you must be extremely thin and my have been a better candidate for buttock implants if the buttocks were your main concern.
Web reference: http://francisnyplasticsurgery.com/body.asp
You might also like...
You typically see your final results after about 2-3 months when the swelling is gone.
You definitely haven't reached your final size or shape. Things will change as time goes by and the swelling subsides. You may see some improvement in your proportions as this happens, but your buttocks will not increase in size. Yes, the volume that was injected is pretty small, but depending on your size and how much fat was removed from around your buttocks, you may see a significant improvement in your overall proportions. The average fat volume that I usually inject is between 800 and 1000cc per side. This of course depends on your desires, how much fat you give me to work with and the skin tone of your buttocks. Sometimes I use more, and occasionally less.
150cc per Butt Cheek is NOT a significant amount of Fat in most women
Do not get discouraged. It is way to soon to begin to judge the results of your liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift. You should be able to see the results much better in a few weeks. But, I agree that 150 cc of fat per side is a very small amount of fat in most women. The volumes we use vary between 450 to over 1,000 cc per cheek. Hang in there and do everything your doctor ordered you to do.

How far would you go to save someone you love?
Sam Dalton is at the end of his rope. His daughter, Jessica, lies dying in a hospital bed from a mysterious disease that has her doctors completely baffled. Without being able to identify the disease or its cause, they are unable to devise a cure and can offer Sam little hope. All he is left to do is sit there and watch his little girl wither away, day after day.
Despair has him wrapped tightly in its bony grip when an encounter with an empty-eyed vagrant he dubs the Preacher gives Sam the opportunity he has been searching for, a chance to bring his precious daughter back from the brink of death. He doesn't know who the Preacher is, or if the Preacher is even human, but Sam doesn't care. All he can see is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
If he's strong enough to do what needs to be done.
How far would you go to save someone you love? Sam Dalton is about to find out.

"[A] nasty little chiller that slices through the squeamish with surgical precision." (SFCrowsnest.net)
"Hitchcock-style short story"
Not sure. I don't generally do that, as I remember stories too well. If I wait long enough, yes.
I have not heard Veronica Giguere before but felt she did a very nice job of creating characters with changes in her voice as she read.
This kept me engaged and listening but suspected the ending before it was reached, just did not quite know how it would unfold.
"Pretty good little story for a nice walk/run"
It's good if you want something to entertain you on a short trip in the car.
I think the narrator should have been a male.
At first I wanted to say no but then it would be kinda cool to have a series of shorts that tied
"disappointing for the price"
excellent story but too short and this not reflected in the price.
not clear it was a very short story
very good

BOGOTA, Colombia -- With a renewed wave of terror, bombings and death threats, Colombia's fugitive drug lords declared "total and absolute war" on the country's political and business leadership Thursday, ominously targeting even the families of those who resist them.
"We prefer a tomb in Colombia to a jail in the United States," the drug lords declared in an inflammatory communique left early Thursday at the site of one of four new bombing targets.
On Thursday evening the government issued a series of new decrees aimed at pressing an official offensive against the drug traffickers. Included in the decrees are measures for destroying unauthorized private airstrips and disposing of property confiscated from suspected traffickers.
'All Who Have Persecuted'
The earlier statement from the drug lords said: "We declare total and absolute war on the government, the industrial and political oligarchy, the journalists who have attacked and outraged us, the judges who have sold themselves to the government, high court extraditing judges and presidential and sectorial (social, business and labor) associations, and all who have persecuted and attacked us."
It was signed "The Extraditables," a group that has been identified in the past as the top leadership of the notorious Medellin drug cartel, all of them wanted men in the United States.
Their warning added that "we will not respect the families of those who have not respected our families."
"These people are serious," said a leading Colombian newspaper editor who asked to remain unnamed because of the direct threat contained in the drug lords' message. "This is the most serious thing I have seen in my life," he added, noting that more than a dozen journalists and hundreds of government officials have been killed by cartel hit squads here in recent years.
Revulsion After Assassinations
Colombia's current crackdown against the drug cartels was begun against a background of national revulsion following the assassinations last week of an appeals court judge, a police chief and a leading presidential candidate who had vowed to combat narcotics trafficking.
Minutes after the murder Friday of presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan as he was about to begin a campaign speech, President Virgilio Barco Vargas issued emergency decrees allowing extradition of drug suspects to the United States and confiscation of their property. Since then, police and military units have conducted more than 300 raids, detaining more than 10,000 people and seizing an estimated $200 million worth of drug suspects' property.
A Defense Ministry spokesman said Thursday that the "great majority" of those detained have been released without charges after questioning.
Under one of Thursday's additional decrees, owners will be required to personally claim seized properties and prove that they were acquired with legitimate funds within 10 days. It is unlikely that suspected traffickers will emerge from hiding to make their claims.
If they do not, their properties will be turned over to government agencies for redistribution, according to the decree. Farms and ranches will be broken up and distributed to landless peasants, urban properties will go to a family welfare agency, cash and automobiles will be given to a judicial fund to improve court working conditions, and planes and boats will be turned over to the armed forces.
Another decree requires provincial officials to inventory private airstrips. Unauthorized landing strips, often used for cocaine trafficking, will be destroyed.
The decree also requires distributors of aviation fuel to report to the government on their customers.
Under Colombian law, the country's Supreme Court is required to review the decrees and rule on their constitutionality within 40 days. One of Thursday's decrees provides special protection for justices conducting the review.
An American narcotics expert involved in the government crackdown said Thursday's bombings and threats fit the pattern of Medellin cartel behavior.

My face is just red all the time.
I see it and am like wow I need to put on some powder.
I used to be able to just wearing bronzer with tinted mosterizer mix, but now my skin is just so red it doesn't help.
then…my eyes just are not the same without mascara.
I guess the goal isn't don't wear any makeup. I don't really wear eyeshadows anymore.

What I received was fine, a basket and blanket, but it definitely was not the same item pictured (no fluffy sherpa blanket like the one pictured). I could have gone out and bought my own basket and blanket for less and probably found something better. Disapointed but it will still be fine for the concept.

Welcome back to another installment of LaxAllStars' Lacrosse Mythbusters! We look at interesting or confounding questions within lacrosse, talk to experts, and try to provide some clarity.

Mythbusters: Lacrosse Eye Black IS Function!
A couple of weeks ago we asked if eye black really works. Well, it turns out that it does really work, and we have a scientist to prove it! Dr. Brian M DeBroff walks us through the science, and history, of eye black!
Mythbusters: Eye Black – Fashion Or Function?
Does eye black really work? The Mythbusters on TV tried this one out, but we're not sure they did it right. How does eye black really work? Is it all about fashion? Jerry Seinfeld needs to know, What's the deal with eye black?
Mythbusters: Lacrosse Edition
After stringing up a traditional lacrosse pocket in a Gait Torque, I was chastised for putting such a "heavy" pocket in such a light stick. Is traditional really heavy? This question needs to be settled. We're bringing in our own Mythbuster, Connor Wilson.

Telecom and IT companies are well-positioned to tap the potentially $700-billion market for lowering carbon dioxide emissions, according to Bill St. Arnaud, chief research officer at CANARIE, the Canadian research house. The House approved the Waxman-Markey environmental bill that would create a cap-and-trade market for carbon emissions, forcing companies who put out too much CO2 to pay for green initiatives that offset their pollution. Today much of those offsetting initiatives are focused on planting trees and reducing methane in garbage dumps. But those offset dollars could go to telecom and IT, Arnaud said. "We have several studies, like the Smart 2020 report and others, showing that using [information communication technologies (ICT)] - networks and computers, we can reduce the carbon footprint of a business or consumer by at least 20%," Arnaud said. "So [ICT] can have a bigger impact on reducing the carbon footprint than planting trees."

Automobile Dacia is a Romanian car company, owned by Renault since 1999, that produce budget cars that are proving very popular across Europe, 164 000 new Dusters were sold in 2011 and from January 2013 Dacia will have cars on UK streets.
The Duster is the car that has catapulted the fortunes of Dacia, similar in size to a Nissan Qashqai+2, but without the third row of seats the Duster is available in either two or four wheel drive, the entry level car with a petrol engine is available to order for £8995 and the Diesel from £11495.
We hope the Duster will be a motability car in the new year and it would be great addition as we would expect it to be available without an advance payment. Sadly there is no Automatic Duster and only a five speed Manual as a petrol and a six speed Manual as a Diesel.
We will run a full test on the Duster once it is confirmed as a Mobility car.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman is wondering what hurt more: getting stung by a scorpion or seeing her hospital bill after treatment.
Marcie Edmonds says the bill from Chandler Regional Medical Center was more than $83,000. That includes two doses of anti-venom at nearly $40,000 per dose.
The Arizona Republic says Edmonds' insurer has paid more than $57,000 and the suburban Phoenix hospital is asking Edmonds for the balance of about $25,000.
The 52-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident was stung in June while opening a box of air conditioner filters in her garage.
Edmonds says an emergency room doctor told her about the Mexican anti-venom Anascorp that could quickly relieve her symptoms, but she was never told about the cost.
Chandler Regional says Edmonds' bill represents the out-of-network costs for her treatment.

Uber Will Never Be the Next Taxi
Emphasis on the mythical portion.
Back in 2011, WBUR-FM confirmed what most of its listeners in Boston already knew: It was more expensive to take a cab in Boston than in any other city in the country. The hundreds of thousands of dollars cab drivers pay for medallions to operate their vehicles in the city of Boston and their inability to pick up passengers in Brookline, Newton, Cambridge, Somerville or any of the other Massachusetts towns that are de facto boroughs of the city jack up per-mile rates to make up for lost return trips.
Uber made its debut in the Boston area that year with a few key distinctions from other cab companies. On top of its namesake app that lets users request a swanky private ride through their smartphones, Uber came in cheaper than its competitors and shrugged off regulation to expand its reach into all portions of the Boston metro area. A year later, it launched the UberX low-cost taxi service to compete directly with cab companies.
However, Uber spent 2013 being sued by cab companies that alleged the service dodged city cab ordinances and state law. The company was also threatened with a strike by UberX drivers upset over a drop in fares, though such labor action never materialized.
To riders, none of that mattered. As long as the service saved them time, money and the hassles associated with Boston and Massachusetts' antiquated restrictions on regular cabs, there wouldn't be a problem.
In mid-December, UberX eliminated all of those positives by initiating a fare hike that jolted regular users across the Northeast. Using a "surge" pricing model that increases fares when demand is at its peak -- like during rush hour -- and lowering fares when demand slips, UberX jacked up prices seven to eight times the normal price during a winter storm. The company argued that demand far outstripped supply and that it was well within its rights to charge as the company saw fit. Uber also argued that the higher prices offered drivers incentives to get on the road during a brutal winter storm.

Cholesterol Tests
(Lipid Tests)
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is similar to fat. There are different types of cholesterol including:
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
Cholesterol tests measure the levels of cholesterol in the blood. They can measure the amount of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and your total cholesterol levels. Your doctor may use a test called the lipid profile test. This test measures the cholesterol levels plus triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat or lipid in the blood.
Reasons for Test
This test is done to measure the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Abnormal levels of cholesterol are linked to an increased risk of plaque formation in blood vessels. This plaque formation can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Your doctor will use these results to estimate your risk of heart disease. For example:
- High LDL levels increase the risk of heart disease.
- Low HDL levels increase the risk of heart disease.
Plaque Formation in Blood Vessel—Side Effect of High LDL Cholesterol
Possible Complications
There are no major complications associated with this test.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Steps to take before the test depend on the test you are having. For example:
- Fasting lipid profile—You will need to stop eating or drinking 9-12 hours before the test. Water is allowed during this time.
- Total cholesterol test and total cholesterol test with HDL measurement—You do not need to fast.
Description of Test
You will be asked to sit. An area inside your elbow will be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe. A large band will be tied around your arm. The needle will then be inserted into a vein. A tube will collect the blood from the needle. The band on your arm will be removed. Once all the blood is collected, the needle will be removed. Some gauze will be placed over the site to help stop bleeding. You may also be given a bandage to place over the site. The process takes about 5-10 minutes.
After Test
After the blood sample is collected, you may need to stay seated for 10-15 minutes. If you are lightheaded, you may need to stay seated longer. Once you feel better, you can leave. After the blood draw, you may have pain, swelling, bruising, and bleeding.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- You have increased redness, pain, or discharge from the blood test site.
- You have severe bruising or swelling.
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
