When I hanker for the taste of slowly simmered food but have little time to get dinner on the table, I turn to my pressure cooker. As my friend Lorna Sass says in her book Cooking Under Pressure, pressure cookers produce quick-cooking meals with "slow-cooking taste."
This stew is reminiscent of a Russian soup known as "shchi."
1. Finely chop the onion.
2. Heat the oil in your pressure cooker over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the onion and stir it around until it is coated with the oil. Reduce the heat to low and sauté gently, stirring every now and then, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile peel and slice the carrots or parsnips ½ inch thick. Finely shred the cabbage. Scrub and quarter the potatoes. Add these vegetables to the pot along with the stewed tomatoes and water. Bring the liquid to a simmer over high heat. Peel the garlic but leave it whole. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and sugar (omit the sugar if you're using parsnips).
4. Remove as much of the skin and fat from the chicken as possible and add the pieces to the pot. Cover the pressure cooker, lock the lid, and bring to full pressure over medium-high heat. Cook at full pressure for 12 minutes.
5. Meanwhile mince or, easier yet, finely snip the dill, if using, with scissors.
6. Cool the pressure cooker under cold running water until the pressure is normal. Release the pressure and unlock the cooker, averting your face as you do so to prevent a steam burn. Add the lemon juice and dill to the pot, stir, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Substitute an additional 12 pound carrots or parsnips for the cabbage.
Nutrients per serving (% daily value)
Nutritional information includes 1/8 teaspoon of added salt per serving, and uses 6 chicken thighs.

More and more, owner-operators are choosing to hold on to high-performing older equipment and run routes that keep them far away from the Golden State rather than upgrade to meet CARB emissions requirements.

Sample the intellectual and bohemian district of Paris with Aeon Tours by visiting the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, and the narrowest street in the world.
Day 1
Experience the intellectual heart and soul of Paris.
The 5th and 6th Arrodissements, better known as the Latin Quarter, have been the intellectual capital of France since the founding of its famed university, the Sorbonne, in 1263. The Latin Quarter's students have been has been at the heart of all the transformative movements in French history - everything from the French Revolution to the student uprising in May of 1968.
Today, the same famed cafes that such luminaries as Picasso and Hemingway frequented still line St. Germain Boulevard, and while times have changed, the essence of the Latin Quarter remains as it has always been - progressive, edgy, and lively. Bookstores, cafes, art galleries, and an ever-increasing number of international bistros make the Latin Quarter a can't-miss destination during your trip to Paris.
Your Aeon Latin Quarter Tour will show you the true Latin Quarter. From the perfectly manicured Luxembourg Gardens to the lively Mouff' street market to the arches of the Notre Dame Cathedral, none of the Quarter's storied streets will be missed. Your tour will also include a visit to the Pantheon, the burial place of some of France's most famous citizens and the Conciergerie, the brutal prison that held Marie Antoinette before her execution.
Don't miss your chance to sample the vibrant neighborhood that is the Quartier Latin today.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

We've just been deposited in the city of Nexus, in a world known mysteriously as Veil. (Or rather, our character has - we've been given a 3DS and a copy of Heroes Of Ruin for an hour, but we didn't want to shatter the illusion.)
So yes, we're in Nexus, Heroes' fairly large hub town, home to traders looking to hawk their wares, and people with gigantic exclamation marks over their heads. These guys are either suffering from some hideous disease1 or they want us to undertake a sidequest.
There are about seven or eight of these golden '!'s on our minimap - an impressive amount - but we only have time for one, unfortunately. We're going to venture into the ominously monikered Haunted Woods, to make contact with a dead Elven king.
The first step, however, is finding your quest, and that isn't as easy as it sounds. The game can be a tad confusing about getting where you need to be, because (as far as we were able to tell) there was no way to distinguish which ! belonged to your active quest. A more detailed read of the quest log may have yielded further clues, but time was getting on and we were looking forward to cracking on with the smashy-smashy.
Finally nudged in the right direction, we make our way to Nexus' 'industrial district' (it was a small junkyard) to hop on the nearest waystone to the Haunted Woods. These stones act as both checkpoints and teleport pads, handily reviving you when you die out in the field, as well as providing a means of returning to the Nexus to flog or purchase loot, or turn in quests.
The guard at the waystone told us not to be put off by the actually-quite-offputting name, and thanks to our inherently trusting nature we found ourselves wandering into a creepy forest teeming with zombies, spiders and hideous giant golems. New quest: kill that stupid lying guard.
If you're wondering who we are, well, so are we. A quick glance through the menu tells us we're an Alchitect: a sort of steampunk alchemist who flings flasks and spells in equal measure. Other classes include the Vanquisher - a warrior with the head of a lion - and the Gunslinger, a bard with torso of a swan. Wait, no, it's a class that specialises in firearms. The game can be played online in a team of up to four, but today our Alchitect was doing it all on her own.
Thankfully, she's pretty capable in a fight. Combat's slick, quick and robust, with melee attacks that connect satisfyingly, and ranged spells that explode in a glittering miasma of energy. It's streamlined, but in a good way - all the features you want are there and easy to access. Health and mana potions require only a tap of the D-pad, while three different abilities can be mapped to the face buttons (the last is reserved for your standard attack, natch).
Finally you can block, and do a nifty roll-teleport. It's all sounding pretty easy, isn't it? Nope. This is a challenging game, as evidenced by the frighteningly quick depletion of our health bar, even during fights with lesser beasts.
The bigger ones - ha ha ha. No. But as we slowly increased in level, upgraded and bought new spells, and stumbled across sweeter loot, the Haunted Forest started to feel less like the site of our inevitable doom, and more like a like small copse round the back of the local Sainsbury's.

Gawker asks, "Will CNN ruin Anthony Bourdain?" but maybe we should be asking, "Will Anthony Bourdain ruin CNN?" (Kidding: big fans, Tony!)
Yes, the ratings-challenged cable network that Ted Turner built CNN has wooed the chef-turned-media personality and author Anthony Bourdain from the Travel Channel, where his current programming will run through the end of the year. Beginning early 2013, Bourdain's new weekend program "will be shot on location and examine cultures from around the world through their food and dining and travel rituals."
At a time when CNN's ratings are at historic lows, the hiring of the oft-profane Bourdain is part of a new weekend programming strategy.Continue reading...

brand challenges
Posted by Dale Buss on May 3, 2012 01:01 PM
It's tough being CNN. The brand that invented the 24-hour news cycle and which made its name covering the Iraq war and other crises has always had to find a way to drive tune-in when there isn't an OJ Simpson-on-the-lam or other breaking news story.
So if you're a CNN executive these or most other days, you're hoping — to yourself, at least — for another "drop everything and watch this" story to unfold somewhere in the world. Nothing really nasty, mind you; just something that will rivet viewers' attention on CNN the way they always do when something goes bad somewhere around the globe.
"The world still knows to turn to CNN whenever a crisis erupts," David Bohrman, the Current TV president who served as CNN's Washington bureau chief, commented to the Wall Street Journal. "That is the brand." And therein likes the rub.Continue reading...

Fascinating post. I'm not sure whether to love this post because of all the exciting developments it suggests are in the pipeline (I love technology); or to hate it because I have just bought a Kindle at Christmas and now you're telling me a colour one with lots of bells and whistles could be just around the corner. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Amazon's Android App Store: Now Things Are Really Starting to Get Interesting!
By Peter Costanzo, Director of Digital Content, F+W Media
In a surprising turn of events Amazon.com recently launched an app store specifically for Android-driven devices, aptly named (what else) Amazon Appstore for Android!
What makes this so interesting is that Amazon does not currently sell an Android anything of their own, leading to speculation that the next Kindle, the popular and highly successful eReader, will be in color, more tablet in nature, and likely use a Honeycomb platform, similar to the upcoming product Sony plans to release this summer.
But who knows?
What we do know is that Amazon does sell just about every Android-powered smartphone and tablet computer available, including T-Mobile's MyTouch and HTC's EVO, as well as Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Motorola's Xoom. However none of these can run apps sold from Apple's iTunes, and except for a few simple apps developed for Kindle, like Scrabble and Hangman, Amazon hasn't really been in the business of mobile applications in any serious way.
Until now.
And that's because Amazon, a trusted consumer brand like Apple, decided to shine a light on one of the best and most enticing reasons to purchase a smartphone or tablet from them instead of anyone else: APPS!
So why does this matter? Well, for starters, in the past Android users had to go to a variety of different sources to locate apps, which wasn't very convenient from a consumer perspective. Plus, over and over users would read about how the "apps for Android" landscape was akin to the wild, wild, west (which is unsettling), and so you had an open source environment that wasn't policed well enough to prevent one or two from causing serious technical problems. But no more, because with their new app store, Amazon will aggregate the best and most popular apps, such as Angry Birds and Shazam, and test them to make sure they're safe to download. Sound familiar? It should since it's the Apple model but for "non-Apple" devices. Android users rejoice!
It's been reported that soon Barnes & Noble, the retailer that actually does sell eReaders powered by Android, will be launching an app store of their own. And it's worth noting B&N has made a limited number of apps, such as Chess and Sudoku, available for their critically acclaimed Nook for quite some time, just like the Kindle. And owners of the Nook Color have been enjoying those same games plus Pandora Radio and Crossword Puzzles in glorious technicolor since November 2010. The major difference is that B&N isn't in the third-party cell phone or tablet business, so it remains to be seen if apps for Nook will also run on other Android devices. Regardless, it's gonna be a while before they can catch up to Amazon who just got the jump on 'em.
With this in mind I'm sure Amazon can relate and is aggressively working to grow its selection of apps as quickly as possible to compete with the more than 350K currently found on iTunes. Add to this effort its new cloud initiatives for digital music, data storage, plus streaming of instant movies (etc.), and it becomes quite clear Amazon is determined to remain a major player in each of these spaces. Frankly, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
So that leaves Google, the incredible company that introduced the world to Android in the first place, and who presently has a greater selection of apps than Amazon. But Google most likely has no interest in trying to compete with a formidable retailer with a long reputation for having great customer service and an online shopping experience that just can't be beat. Then again… maybe they do! In the end it really doesn't make any difference whether users get their Android apps from Amazon, B&N, or anyone else for that matter. Either way, Google wins! Plus Amazon's entry into this space will only increase sales of Android devices, expanding their reach and appeal, and all with the stamp of approval by one of the world's most favorite online retailers.
Having said all that, isn't it only a matter of time before a flood of book-related apps start pouring in to take advantage of Amazon's new channel of content distribution? From my vantage point this all makes for a very exciting time to be a publisher, author, developer, producer, or start-up with a dream and a story to tell.
Don't you think?

Great article, Peter! I'm an avid Android device user, and it took me about ten seconds to jump on the Amazon Android App Store train. I'd love to see Amazon integrate the app store and its Kindle for Android store in some way—but that may be wishful thinking. I do find it odd that Amazon has multiple commerce apps available for Android (in addition to these two, Amazon MP3 and Amazon Mobile), but none of them play with or reference each other.
If Apple continues to squelch in-app purchases that avoid their App Store, I wonder if we'll see some subscription-based/issue-based publishing apps migrate to Android.

Ginyu ForceTalk15
this wiki
- This article is about the group of characters. For the manga chapter, see The Ginyu Force (manga chapter). For the Manga Volume, see The Ginyu Force (manga). For the sixteenth original Dragon Ball Z anime volume, see The Ginyu Force (volume).
Directory: Characters → Villains → DBZ villains The Ginyu Force (ギニュー特戦隊, Ginyū Tokusentai; lit. "Ginyu Special Squadron") is a group of characters in Dragon Ball Z, and most of them appear briefly in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn and Dragon Ball GT. They are an elite mercenary team working for Frieza to conquer planets, and are part of the Planet Trade Organization.
Creation and concept
The Ginyu Force has some resemblances and references to Super Sentai teams (like the Power Rangers): five color-coded warriors, tendencies to pose during battle, role calls and supernatural powers. However, because Akira Toriyama's works usually feature parody, the stances used by the Ginyu Force may be a parody of the stances seen in magical girl animes of the time. Some of the recent references to the Ginyu Force's stylistic forms of poses and colorful display comes from Super Sentai series and even Sailor Moon. This resemblance to Super Sentai may be due to Toriyama's son interested in Super Sentai shows as stated by Toriyama in an interview.
The Ginyu Force members follow the tradition of Dragon Ball characters being named for puns; in this case, all manner of dairy products: Guldo is derived from "yogurt", Recoome from "creme", Burter from "butter", Jeice from "cheese", and Ginyu is derived from "milk". The name Ginyu Tokusentai itself translates to "Special Corps. Milk".
The Ginyu Force is a team of super-elite and powerful warriors. Unlike any others who serve the galactic empire, they are merely freelancers greatly favored by the tyrant rather than forcefully subdued slaves or servants.[1] Despite being evil, ruthless and cold-hearted similarly to their master, the Ginyu Force follows an independent mentality forged within the group and have a code of honor and fairness of their own. These are altogether features that sets them apart from the rest of the Planet Trade Organization and the only ones not threatened or disrespected by Frieza.
Though physically some of the strongest in the universe, the Ginyu Force's arrogant members delight in coming up with strange poses, betting candy on fights, and playing Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide the order they should fight in. Every member of the Ginyu Force is a mutant member of their species, which explains their high powers and special abilities, as mentioned by Jeice when discussing with Ginyu why Goku was so powerful. The strongest of them all is Captain Ginyu himself, who, for a majority of his appearances in the series, occupies the body of a horned, purple-skinned extraterrestrial, though he is capable of changing bodies at will. They have their own individual special or gifted abilities into which they can supplement their own ki: Guldo has psionic abilities, Recoome has high-endurance, Burter has incredible speed, Jeice is specialized in Ki Blast techniques, Captain Ginyu can transfer his consciousness. All their special powers originated during their childhood. Guldo realized he had psychic powers as a kid: he was a real brat, using his powers to lift up girls' skirts and steal whatever toys he wanted. Recoome practiced dance, which is how he got his agility and various battle poses. Burter's mother was very strict, making him do all the household chores and slapping him if he was late preparing dinner; because of this, he became the fastest in the universe. Jeice was a pitcher in the Galactic Little League, and it was there that he developed the Crusher Ball as his special technique. When Ginyu first learned of his Body Change ability, he swapped bodies with the richest kid in his class, which made him popular with girls but also stupid, and he soon realized that men should compete in terms of strength rather than money.[2]
Namek Saga
The Ginyu Force are called upon by Frieza to assist in the defeat of Vegeta on Namek and obtainment of the Namekian Dragon Balls during the course of the Namek Saga and Captain Ginyu Saga in an attempt to regroup from Zarbon and Dodoria's previous failure, which caused their deaths. The overall embarrassment Frieza displayed when they perform their strange poses when arrived on Namek seems to imply that he had never gotten used to their goofy attitude (or that he had never met them in person before). All but Ginyu are killed by Vegeta, with Ginyu having the unfortunate mishap of body-switching with a Namekian Frog (and Vegeta deciding to be merciful for once).
All the members of the Ginyu Force reappear (in the anime only) during the Frieza Saga from their current positions of defeat. Captain Ginyu (currently in the body of a frog) switches bodies with Bulma in the episode "Frieza's Boast", but inadvertently switches back with her while going after Piccolo in "Embodiment of Fire". In the following episode, "Trump Card", Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo (who are all dead) arrive at King Kai's planet. Recoome fights Yamcha, Burter and Jeice fight Tien Shinhan, and Guldo fights Chiaotzu. Powered up from their training with King Kai, the dead members of Earth's Special Forces (which will later be expanded to the Z Fighters) are easily able to overpower the dead Ginyu Force members, sending all of them into Hell where they are unable to escape.
The Ginyu Force team up with Frieza, King Cold, and Cell in the episode "Warriors of the Dead", but are all beaten by Goku, falling into the Bloody Pond, and are later impaled on spikes by Pikkon, and are locked up. Ginyu has a few cameo appearances as a frog on Earth throughout the series, until Kid Buu kills him by blowing up the Earth.
In the 1995 film Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn and Dragon Ball GT episode "A Dangerous Union", where the members of the group make their escape from Hell, but are all eventually defeated and sent back.
At the time it is presented in the series, the Ginyu Force is regarded as the fiercest and deadliest fighting team in the galaxy (King Kai considered them to be most fearsome group in the universe, and at least five times stronger than Goku prior to training for Planet Namek, placing them according to King Kai's statement at "at least 40,000"), with Frieza hiring them whenever they are needed. Their might has enabled them to overcome challenges to Frieza's expansion and galactic domination that no others could handle. Captain Ginyu is the strongest among them, with a power level of 120,000 (though it is said in Goku Gekitōden, that by powering up be can double to 240,000) . Burter, Jeice and Recoome are at a similar level, which is said to be at least five times greater than Goku on Earth, making them at least 40,000 (Recoome's highest given official power level is 71,000, Jeice's is 85,000, and Burter's is 90,000). Guldo is physically the weakest, with a power level which ranges from 11,500 to 19,000 depending on the source, but makes up for it with his special psychic abilities. The members of the Ginyu Force appear to have increased dramatically in power while in Hell, as Frieza expresses surprise that Goku was able to defeat them so easily.

Video games
In most of the video games they appear, only Ginyu and Recoome are playable, though the first Dragon Ball Z arcade game also featured Burter. In the opening sequence of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, the entire Ginyu Force strikes their famous team poses; however, only Recoome and Captain Ginyu appear in-game. Dragon Ball Z: The Legend was the first video game to feature all of the members.
In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, Cooler's story mode includes a side-story where he comes to Earth as Metal Cooler (nucleus) with the Big Gete Star and, after defeating Super Saiyan Goku and Super Saiyan Vegeta in West City, uses the Dragon Balls to revive the Ginyu Force alongside Zarbon and Dodoria. At first, the Ginyu Force can not persuade Cooler nor Zarbon to join to their battle pose, but at the end of his story, Cooler accepts to take part of it after promising to do so if they help him to defeat Perfect Cell, with Zarbon and Dodoria also joining the pose.

The Vegeta Force
In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, on Namek Stage, when confronting Captain Ginyu for a third time as Vegeta, Vegeta will say that the Ginyu Forces is now disbanded and invites Captain Ginyu to "The Vegeta Special Forces" instead. Ginyu considers it, but suddenly declines, thinking that Vegeta will have a better pose than him. Vegeta gets angry and says that Ginyu is such a pathetic fool for that decision.
In Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, "The Vegeta Force" is the title given to Ginyu Force after Vegeta defeats Captain Ginyu in the What-If scenario, "Ginyu Force Shakeup Part 2: Ginyu Demoted." Vegeta takes the role of captain of the Ginyu Force and renames the Ginyu Force after himself. He also comments on how pathetic the fighting poses are when Recoome asks what their new poses will be. He also calls the current members of the Ginyu Force losers for having poses.
- Befitting the team's over-the-top nature, its theme song "Take the Stage!! Ginyu Special Squad!!" is composed of comical, silly lyrics. These include references to frogs, rock-paper-scissors, and afternoon snacks, all related to the Ginyu Force's time spent menacing the Z Fighters. It is sung by the Ginyu Force in the order that they arrive on Namek (Recoome, Burter, Jeice, Guldo, and Captain Ginyu).
- The Ginyu Force insignia is an upside down A over a circle that resembles Ginyu's head.
- All four members of the Ginyu Force that are killed in the Ginyu Saga are killed by Vegeta, although Jeice is actually the only one of the four that Vegeta defeats in a battle prior to destroying him. Vegeta also had a chance to squash and kill Captain Ginyu (as a frog) but decided not to as he did not want to get his boots dirty (though in Dragon Ball Z Kai, his amusement at Captain Ginyu hopping around stopped him from doing so).
- Despite 4 out of the 5 Ginyu Force members were killed by Vegeta, Frieza seems to not believe Vegeta could have killed them and assumes that Goku is the one who killed them all (Frieza emphasizes the fact that there was "no way Vegeta could defeated Captain Ginyu"). Goku confirms he did kill them (while in fact it was Vegeta who executed them), with the exception of Ginyu who simply changed bodies.[3]
- Three members of the Ginyu Force (Burter, Jeice, Recoome) were all played by Christopher R. Sabat in the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball Z. However, Burter was originally played by Mark Britten, and was replaced by Sabat after taking leave. In Dragon Ball Z Kai, Sabat kept the role as Recoome, so Vic Mignogna and Jason Liebricht handed over the roles as Burter and Jeice, respectively.

This tutorial shows you how to add a cloud-based backend service to a universal Windows app using Azure Mobile Services. In this tutorial, you will create both a new mobile service and a simple To do list app in HTML and JavaScript that stores app data in the new mobile service. The mobile service that you create uses the supported .NET languages using Visual Studio for server-side business logic and to manage the mobile service. To create a mobile service that lets you write your server-side business logic in JavaScript, see the JavaScript version of this topic.
The following are screen captures from the completed app:
Windows Store app
Windows Phone Store app
Completing this tutorial is a prerequisite for all other Mobile Services tutorials for Windows Store and Windows Phone Store apps.
To complete this tutorial, you need the following:
Follow these steps to create a new mobile service.
Log into the Management Portal.
At the bottom of the navigation pane, click +NEW.
Expand Compute and Mobile Service, then click Create.
This displays the New Mobile Service dialog.
In the Create a mobile service page, select Create a free 20 MB SQL Database, select .NET runtime, then type a subdomain name for the new mobile service in the URL textbox and wait for name verification. Once name verification completes, click the right arrow button to go to the next page.
This displays the Specify database settings page.
As part of this tutorial, you create a new SQL Database instance and server. You can reuse this new database and administer it as you would any other SQL Database instance. If you already have a database in the same region as the new mobile service, you can instead choose Use existing Database and then select that database. The use of a database in a different region is not recommended because of additional bandwidth costs and higher latencies.
In Name, type the name of the new database, then type Login name, which is the administrator login name for the new SQL Database server, type and confirm the password, and click the check button to complete the process.
When the password that you supply does not meet the minimum requirements or when there is a mismatch, a warning is displayed. We recommend that you make a note of the administrator login name and password that you specify; you will need this information to reuse the SQL Database instance or the server in the future.
You have now created a new mobile service that can be used by your mobile apps.
Once you have created your mobile service, you can follow an easy quickstart in the Management Portal to either create a new app or modify an existing app to connect to your mobile service.
In this section you will create a new universal Windows app that is connected to your mobile service.
In the Management Portal, click Mobile Services, and then click the mobile service that you just created.
In the quickstart tab, click Windows under Choose platform and expand Create a new Windows Store app.
This displays the three easy steps to create a Windows Store app connected to your mobile service.
If you haven't already done so, download and install Visual Studio Professional 2013 on your local computer or virtual machine.
Under Download and run your app and service locally, select a language for your Windows Store app, then click Download.
This downloads a solution contains projects for both the mobile service and for the sample To do list application that is connected to your mobile service. Save the compressed project file to your local computer, and make a note of where you save it.
The mobile service project that you download lets you to run your new mobile service right on your local computer or virtual machine. This makes it easy to debug your service code before you even publish it to Azure.
In this section, you will test your new app against the mobile service running locally.
Browse to the location where you saved the compressed project files, expand the files on your computer, and open the solution file in Visual Studio.
Press the F5 key to rebuild the project and start the mobile service locally.
A web page is displayed after the mobile service starts successfully.
In Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, right-click your client app project and click Set as StartUp Project and then press the F5 key to rebuild the project and start the app.
This starts the app, which connects to the local mobile service instance.
In the app, type meaningful text, such as Complete the tutorial, in Insert a TodoItem, and then click Save.
This sends a POST request to the local mobile service. Data from the request is inserted into the TodoItem table. Items stored in the table are returned by the mobile service, and the data is displayed in the second column in the app.
You can review the code that accesses your mobile service to query and insert data, which is found in the default.js file.
After testing the client app against the local mobile service, the final stage of this tutorial is to publish the mobile service to Azure and run the app against the live service.
This procedure shows how to publish your mobile service by using Visual Studio tools. You can also publish your .NET backend mobile service by using source control. For more information, see Store project code in source control.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the mobile service project, click Publish, then in the Publish Web dialog box click Azure Mobile Services.
Sign in with your Azure account credentials, select your service from Existing Mobile Services, and click OK.
Visual Studio downloads your publish settings directly from Azure.
Visual Studio stores your Azure credentials until you explicitly sign out.
Click Validate connection to verify that publishing is correctly configured, then click Publish.
After publishing succeeds, you will again see the confirmation page that the mobile service is up and running, this time in Azure.
In the Shared code project, open the default.js file, locate the code that creates a WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient instance, comment-out the code that creates this client using localhost and uncomment the code that creates the client using the remote mobile service URL, which looks like the following:
var client = new WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient(
The client will now access the mobile service published to Azure.
Press the F5 key to rebuild the project and start the app.
This sends a POST request to the new mobile service hosted in Azure.
(Optional) In a universal Windows solution, change the default start up project to the other app and press F5 again.
Notice that data saved from the previous step is loaded from the mobile service after the app starts.
Now that you have completed the quickstart, learn how to perform additional important tasks in Mobile Services:
Get started with data Learn more about storing and querying data using Mobile Services.
Get started with authentication Learn how to authenticate users of your app with an identity provider.
Get started with push notifications Learn how to send a very basic push notification to your app.

Health Canada Approves Esbriet® As First Treatment For Fatal Lung Disease
Esbriet was also safe and generally well-tolerated with the most frequent side effects reported being rash and gastrointestinal symptoms. The safety and tolerability of Esbriet in IPF patients is well-characterized based on both clinical studies and the expanding post marketing experience. Safety results from ongoing studies of Esbriet demonstrated that long-term treatment with Esbriet for up to 7.7 years was safe and generally well-tolerated, with a long-term safety profile similar to that observed in Esbriet's original clinical study program.
About Esbriet® (pirfenidone) Esbriet is an orally active drug that inhibits the synthesis of TGF-beta, a chemical mediator that controls many cell functions including proliferation and differentiation, and plays a key role in fibrosis, or scarring, of the lung. It also inhibits the synthesis of TNF-alpha, a cytokine that is known to have an active role in inflammation.
On February 28, 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Esbriet in adults for the treatment of mild to moderate IPF. The approval authorized marketing of Esbriet in all 27 EU member states. Esbriet has since also been approved for marketing in Norway and Iceland -- and now, Canada. Esbriet is now commercially available in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway and Sweden, and is expected to be made available in France by the end of 2012.
About IPFIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, debilitating and ultimately fatal disease characterized predominantly by fibrosis (scarring) in the lungs that compromises lung function and hinders gas exchange. Approximately 5,000 to 8,000 patients are estimated to be living with IPF across Canada, of whom 3,500 to 5,000 are estimated to have mild to moderate disease. IPF is a progressive disease, meaning that over time, lung scarring, symptoms, and functional limitations increase in severity. The median survival time from diagnosis is two to five years, with a five-year survival rate of approximately 20-40 percent, which makes IPF more rapidly lethal than many cancers, including ovarian, colorectal, and breast. Patients diagnosed with IPF are primarily between the ages of 40 and 80, with a median age of 63 years. The disease tends to affect slightly more men than women.About InterMune InterMune is a biotechnology company focused on the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies in pulmonology and orphan fibrotic diseases. In pulmonology, the company is focused on therapies for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive and fatal lung disease. Pirfenidone, the only medicine approved for IPF anywhere in the world, is approved for marketing by InterMune in 29 European countries and Canada as Esbriet and is currently in an additional Phase 3 clinical trial to support regulatory registration in the United States.

I Found My Long-Lost Brother
Read about a woman who reunited with the sibling she never forgot
By Stephanie Cook, as told to Christina Goyanes
Motherly Memories
I was at work last January and did what I often do when I have a free moment: I Googled my little brother. I'd been searching for him for more than a decade, so when I typed in "Thomas adopted November 1990, Salt Lake City," I didn't expect to find anything.
I hadn't seen Thomas since he was 4 days old and I was 1 year, but I always felt he was a part of me. When she was pregnant, my mom, Bobbi Ann Campbell, arranged for an open adoption with a family who could give him more than she couldshe was single, and times were really hard.
Our mother loved him so much! She saved his tiny baby booties and exchanged letters and photos with his family for the first years of his life. Everything was handled through the adoption agency, so my mom never knew the last name of the family who adopted Thomas.
Then, in 1994, when I was 5 and Thomas was 4, our mother vanished. It was two days after Christmas, and she dropped me off at a friend's while she went to pick up her paycheck and go to the grocery store. She never came back. Police couldn't find a trace of her. Her car was found illegally parked in a nearby neighborhood a year later. The laundry she'd done the morning she left and $10 my great-grandmother had given her were still inside.
My great-grandparents raised me in a wonderful home near Salt Lake City that was full of memories of my mom. We didn't know what happened to her, but my brother was out there. I needed to find him.

In ''Spider-Man'' The nerdy Queens high-schooler gets superpowers after he's chomped on by a genetically altered super-spider (ouch). Following his uncle's death, he learns that with great power comes great responsibility -- and a set of red-and-blue tights.
In ''Spider-Man 2'' Now in college, Peter lives in a seedy Manhattan apartment that doesn't even have its own bathroom. He also works -- quite unsuccessfully -- as a pizza delivery boy (even Spider-speed can't help him meet a 29-minute delivery guarantee). As Peter struggles to pay his bills and attend class, he discovers more and more drawbacks to his dual existence -- and chafing from the costume is the least of it. He even finds his powers fading, leaving him unable to shoot webs or climb walls. Does Pete give up his secret identity forever? As if.
In the comic books ''The basic differences are very few,'' says Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada. ''But in the movies, the hero persona is at its beginning stages; in the comic books he's a pro at this point.'' Marvel's more recently launched ''Ultimate Spider-Man,'' though, features a perennially-in-high-school Peter Parker.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., speaks with reporters after the immigration bill got more than 60 needed votes to advance in the Senate, at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, June 24, 2013. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker insists his willingness to work with Democrats doesn't make him a moderate, but ardent conservatives think otherwise.
According to The Tennessean, Corker recently came under fire throughout an eight-stop swing through Middle Tennessee during the congressional recess earlier this month.
During one stop, Corker sparred with a Nashville lawyer over the senator's plan to shut down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the nation's main backers of home mortgages.
President Barack Obama endorsed the proposal he developed with a Democratic senator to replace the mortgage giants.
If anything, Corker describes himself as a "pragmatic thought leader" who went to Washington to focus on business matters.

USS Intrepid, a 1150-ton steam torpedo ram built at the Boston Navy Yard, was commissioned at the end of July 1874. She spent the next few months conducting torpedo trials in the waters off New England and New York and was then decommissioned at the New York Navy Yard. Intrepid had occasional active service over the next several years and in 1882 began conversion to a light-draft gunboat for service in Chinese waters. This work continued slowly until 1889 and was then suspended. USS Intrepid was sold in May 1892.

As a young adult, I knew that I wanted to help people with developmental disabilities realize their full potential and lead meaningful, satisfying lives. It wasn't until I experienced first hand the amazing impact of applied behavior analysis that I realized that this was the field that would help me achieve my professional goals. After studying and implementing ABA at the University of Kansas with some of the people who defined this scientific field (e.g., Don Baer, Mont Wolf, Jim Sherman), I found opportunities to work with people with developmental disabilities, including autism, ranging in age from 3 to 90. Helping children and adults increase their independence, improve their quality of life, and reduce interfering or problematic behaviors has been greatly satisfying.
During my career, I have worked as a: Clinical Director and School Consultant at the May Institute in Massachusetts, Director of Residential Services at Bancroft Neurohealth in New Jersey, Adjunct Faculty for the ABA Institute, a joint program of Northeastern University and the May Institute, Consultant for schools and families, and supervisor for prospective BCBA certificants.

With some staffers already cleaning out years of detritus in their desks in the West Wing of City Hall, the great job hunt is underway in the incoming administration of Bill de Blasio.
As our Courtney Gross reported last night, the axe will soon be landing on the heads of most high-level commissioners in the Bloomberg administration. After all, Bloomberg told de Blasio on Wednesday that he kept "only one" of Giuliani's team when he took over in 2002.
That's not quite fair to Team Rudy. Some of Bloomberg's original team members – including Vinnie La Padula, Iris Weinshall, Tino Hernandez, William Fraser, John Doherty, and Patricia Lancaster – had docked serious time with the previous administration. But there's no question that Bloomberg, like most executives, was far more comfortable with the people he brought into City Hall. ( It will be interesting to see which commissioners will fight to keep their job. When asked if he wants to say on, Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano almost plaintively declared: "I love my job.")
The job search rumors have been centering on police commissioner and schools chancellor but De Blasio has correctly indicated that his most important appointment will be his First Deputy Mayor – who will dually serve as his gatekeeper and ideas vetter. Giuliani had Peter Powers (who only lasted two-and-a-half years) while Bloomberg had Patti Harris, who will De Blasio pick? De Blasio has also said in a revealing interview with The New York Times that he vastly prefers hiring people from the public sector because " the folks who mostly thrive in New York City government are the ones who have done it or something very close to it previously…I think people who understand government run government best."
While de Blasio was critical of Giuliani's "hyper-micromanagement model", he also ripped Bloomberg's "30,000-feet approach." But in my many conversations with Bloomberg staffers over the years, they have universally praised him for allowing them to make difficult and sometimes innovative decisions. Another boss would never have given them the opportunity to take a chance. In the areas of transportation, health, and the environment, Bloomberg's commissioners made some sweeping proposals that probably would not have been attempted if they were worrying that their boss was constantly looking over their shoulder. It's something for de Blasio to think about.
There will be a little bit of time for de Blasio to contemplate the job hunt as he sips a cocktail in San Juan. And one thing that should reassure him – and it's also a mayoral rite of passage -- if he makes some bad appointments, he can always fire them. Two notes: I'll be taking a break for the next couple of days and will be back next Wednesday. And my apologies to former Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. In one segment that I taped earlier today on NY1, I said he is 70 years old. He is 66.

Dinged: Windham brings back dodgeball

"I've had all of George Carlin's famous words on my answering machine," board member Stephanie Wimmer said. "I had to take my phone number off the district website."

From Here to Brit-ernity
Wherever she went, Britney Spears left a tabloid paper trail
Britney Spears, 23, gets hitched to her true, baggy-pantsed love, Kevin Federline, a 26-year-old former backup dancer for Justin Timberlake and one of the many background servers in You Got Served. By doing this, the singer racks up her second marriage in a very busy year so in your face, J. Lo!
She takes her first vows in January with childhood pal Jason Alexander, on the kind of Vegas whim one always regrets, and then annuls...two days later, to the relief of her shocked parents and record company. But our Brit, who's nothing if not resilient, falls for Federline that spring. He leaves his pregnant girlfriend—actress Shar Jackson (Moesha) for Spears, which is really romantic in an abandoned-family kind of way. The new couple go together like hypersexualized innocence and record sales, and prove inseparable after she cancels the summer leg of her world tour in June due to a knee injury.
Spending the next few months recuperating, Spears keeps in shape by hurling milk shakes and sodas at paparazzi and, in one infamous photo, tipping back a mini-bottle of ginseng in front of a liquor store. When the New York Post intimates Brit's a boozer (mistaking the ginseng for whiskey), Spears threatens to sue because drinking hooch on the street is a line the woman who lambada'd with a python and sucked face with Madonna on TV is just too classy to cross.
Come July, Jackson gives birth to Federline's child, the couple's second. This apparently triggers Spears' maternal instinct, because a few months later she posts a letter on her website declaring that she wants to retreat from the limelight and ''can't wait!'' to have her own baby. Soon she'll become like every other mother out there: horrified that her daughter wants to dress and act like her.

LIFE OF O'REILLY Bill O'Reilly and Fox slap associate producer Andrea Mackris with a suit claiming she tried to extort $60 million from the pundit in exchange for not going public with sexual-harassment charges. Later that day, Mackris countersues. Among the claims in her suit: O'Reilly told her he wanted to rub her in the shower with a ''falafel.'' The parties settle two weeks later, mercifully keeping us all from a trial where we might have to hear lurid details on O'Reilly's baba- ghanoush-stained bathtub.
