At 35, Max Ray Butler has led three lives.
He began as the stereotypical 1990s computer wiz kid who parlayed his
skills into a big-time business detecting the weak spots in
corporations' computer security armor.
Based in California's Silicon Valley, Butler was masterful at discerning
vulnerable areas where deft hackers could access a company's computer
system and steal personal financial information that could fetch
millions of dollars on the black market.
Temptation intervened, and Butler eventually became one of the criminals
he had worked to thwart, according to government investigators.
When he was caught, he moved on to his next life -- as a government
His life as a snitch came to a crashing end when he turned his back on
the government. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on
charges of selling tens of thousands of credit card numbers to an
associate in Western Pennsylvania who was a government informant.
With that indictment, government officials claim they have taken one of
the "significant players in the world of identity theft" off the
streets. Federal authorities accuse Butler of compromising networks
around the world by penetrating financial institutions' systems,
stealing credit card and personal identification numbers, and then
selling them. No price tag has been attached to the damage allegedly
done by Butler.
Today, the computer geek with the stringy, shoulder-length hair is
behind bars at the Allegheny County Jail awaiting trial on charges that
could put him in prison for up to 40 years.
Max Ray Butler grew up uneventfully in Boise, according to court
With a lifelong passion for computers, he graduated from high school and
went to work as a technician at a local computer store.
Court records say he honed his computer skills before acting on dreams
that a bigger and better life might be found in Silicon Valley, Calif.,
the epicenter of the computer revolution.
In the late 1990s, he moved to San Jose, married a woman named Kimi
Winters and started a business called Max Vision, court records show. He
snagged several contacts with companies to intentionally break into
computer networks to test their security systems. While he was
penetrating the networks and writing programs to close the breaches, he
secretly left open a back door that would allow access later,
prosecutors say.
Authorities allege that during this time, Butler began to illegally hack
into computer networks operated by the Air Force, NASA and the federal
Defense and Energy departments. He didn't steal any information, but
again left open a door so he could re-enter later, authorities said.
It wasn't long before the FBI came calling.
When agents scoured his home in 1998, a contrite Butler immediately
confessed. The FBI said Butler could make amends by working as an
He helped the FBI crack a ring of hackers who had penetrated telephone
company 3ComPBX.
He attended a clandestine meeting of hackers in Las Vegas and obtained
encryption information that helped federal agents learn the identities
of hackers who generally attempt to mask their identities by using
cryptic screen names.
Then Butler suddenly shunned the FBI. He began missing meetings and
didn't answer phone calls.

About 8 weeks ago I received several bare root fruit trees and bushes from an online company. Pretty much everything is growing except 3 dwarf North Star Cherry trees. Now it did take me about a week and a half after I received them before I got to plant them. In that time they were in my unheated dark basement, in their original moist plastic shipping container. I scraped one tree and it is green under the bark.
Any suggestions? I thought of taking all 3 trees out of the ground and soak it all, roots and buds overnight. |

- Posted by scottfsmith 6B/7A MD (My Page) on Mon, Apr 20, 09 at 11:26
Don't try to do anything, disturbing the roots just makes things worse. Just wait and see is about all you can do. Some trees never wake up due to loss of energy during digging up shipment etc. Sitting out for a long period in your basement didn't help. I have had particular problems with trees from Millers never waking up. Some of them stayed green under the bark most of the summer but they never woke. Scott |
- Posted by dkdivedude (My Page) on Wed, Apr 22, 09 at 8:33
Ok just to make sure. Is there nothing I can do? What about for example to wrap wet, and keep it wet paper towel around the buds in hopes of soaking and swelling them - just and idea. |
No, Scott's right, don't do anything. If the tree is alive it and the ground has proper moisture, the roots will supply the buds with sap. Keeping a wet paper towel around the buds will likely prolong dormancy by keeping the buds cooler and dark. Excessive soil moisture will also prolong dormancy. |
dkdive: Just leave your trees alone. They will rise or fall as you originally planted them. Above all, do not ever soak cherry roots in water. Water is not the issue here, unless there is so much water around the tree roots from rainfall that they have drowned. Excess moisture can kill cherry trees. They need to grow in a spot with good soil drainage. Cherries can also be slower to leaf out than other species. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |

In the two weeks since Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate, the entire Republican party has been rejuvenated. Governor Romney himself has been reenergized. After losing ground in the polls this summer, he's once again drawn even with the president. Wisconsin is now in play. Even senior voters in Florida have signaled heavy approval of Romney-Ryan.
I know vice presidents are not supposed to be so influential. Political scientists say the top of the ticket is what matters. But Paul Ryan is disproving that.
And yet I hear and read some grousing from conservative supply-side colleagues that Ryan is no longer the Jack Kemp, supply-side-growth guy he once was. Instead, they say he has become a root-canal Republican who obsesses about entitlement debt bombs and deficit reduction. They say he's wedded to the Congressional Budget Office in a kind of budget-austerity, Stockholm syndrome.
The whisperers say this happened to Dave Stockman years ago at OMB. Now they say it's happening to Paul Ryan at the head of the House Budget Committee.
These charges are completely false.
Previewing his convention speech, Ryan said, "We have to show the country that we have a pro-growth plan to get people back to work, to get this economy growing again." He said, "We want to get back to the American idea [of an] opportunity society with a safety net; [a] society of growth, opportunity, of upward mobility."
This is Reagan. This is Kemp. This is growth, not root canal.
The congressman said Team Romney, with a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut, is aiming at an average growth rate of 4 percent over the next four years. "If we can do that," he said, "which we think we can with the right economic-pro-growth policies, we can get 12 million people back to work."

Ten Reasons I'm a Funeral Director
Article originally published on Caleb's blog Confessions of a Funeral Director
Last week, a high schooler asked me, "Why are you a funeral director?" After a couple days of thinking about the question, here are ten reasons I'm a funeral director.
One: Service.
A couple years ago, a granddaughter was giving her grandmother's eulogy at the funeral home. She shared that before she would take naps at her grandmother's house, her grandmother would warm a blanket in the dryer, and as the granddaughter laid down, the grandma would drape the warm blanket over her.
After the service was over and before the family closed the lid on the casket, I grabbed the blanket that the family had laid in the casket and warmed the blanket. When I gave the warm blanket to the granddaughter, she couldn't withhold her tears as now she draped it over her grandmother.
Situations like this arise regularly in the funeral profession. And, as a caregiver by nature, I find great satisfaction in seeing others have more meaningful death experiences because of my efforts. I enjoy serving.
Funeral Directors Thinking Outside the Box for Baby Boomers
In death, as in life, baby boomers want to do it their way. And the death industry is gearing up to meet this demand as the generation that bucked authority customizes how it dies.
Boomers, who never lost their youthful taste for rebellion, want to control every detail of their "stairway to heaven" up to and including buying "pre-need funerals" to prepare for the inevitable. The industry also is responding by consolidating to take advantage of economies of scale as boomers age.
"If you look at the boomers, they've sort of changed everything as they've moved along the consumer spectrum," said Clint Fendley, analyst at Davenport & Company LLC.
"We're personalizing everything," said Nathan Smith, founder and president of 'Til We Meet Again, a custom casket and urn company. Smith opened his flagship store in Wichita, Kan., three years ago. Today, he has four stores around the country and franchise agreements for more than a dozen others. "There is such a huge demand for this product," he said. "The baby boomers are driving this."
Smith said the extent of personalization can be significant. One customer, a "self-professed hippie that was stuck in the '60s" ordered a casket with an exterior that looked tie-dyed, Smith said.
For this "born to be wild" generation, Smith said motorcycle-themed items are popular. "We have urns that look like motorcycle gas tanks we can custom paint to match their bikes," he said. "We've done a lot of caskets with hot rod flames or painting them to match the bike."
(Read More: Death: It's a Living)
Smith has licensing agreements with entities ranging from pro sports teams to Orange County Choppers to the Vatican.
Nationwide, the funeral industry is worth $17 billion, and there are 2.4 million to 2.6 million deaths each year in the United States, according to the Sterling, Va.-based International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association.
While the number of deaths has remained steady, the outlook for the industry is strong, considering the aging baby boomer generation—76 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964—is expected to push the death rate higher within the next decade.
Ann Bastianelli, CEO of marketing firm Anthology Consulting and a marketing professor at Indiana University, said the boomers' view of life was reflected in their attitude toward death.
"One of the things we identified was this whole notion that your life is individual and personalized, and your death should be also," Bastianelli said.
The demand for customization in everything from caskets to memorial services to keepsakes will help boost the industry's earnings. "There's definitely a revenue opportunity for funeral homes in general if they can offer value-added services," said Kathy Williams, co-owner of American Funeral Consultants.
"It's up to the funeral directors to kind of think out of the box to think of things that will generate income and will make the funeral meaningful for the families," Williams said.
Indeed, Wall Street analysts estimate that Service Corporation International, which just announced it is acquiring Stewart Enterprises in a $1.4 billion deal to become the largest U.S. funeral company, will see next year's profits triple what they made in 2006.
The combined company, operating over 2,100 funeral homes and cemeteries, is expected to have annual revenue of almost $3 billion and generate about $60 million in annual cost savings.
Of course, boomers are primarily in their 60s; they aren't at death's door yet. But their penchant for controlling everything, even something as fundamentally uncontrollable as death, dovetails with the growing business of what the funeral industry calls "pre-need" sales.
"Through pre-need sales today, operators can lock up that future volume today," Rice said.
Ten years ago, the industry was in a slump, with costs rising and a slowing death rate. By selling pre-need funerals—the plot, the coffin, the service, even the catered reception afterward—funeral companies were able to generate revenue, even if profits slumped.
Although they can't book all of the revenue from such sales right away, "it's a pretty nice built-in stream of future revenue you can count on," Fendley said.
Service Corp. reported a 10.2 percent increase in cemetery "pre-need" sales in 2012. But Chief Marketing Officer Philip Jacobs told the Houston Business Journal recently that only about one-third of the funerals his company handles are planned in advance.
Funeral service providers also can suggest to customers that even cremation, which has increased in popularity as the cost of a traditional burial has climbed above $6,500, can be personalized—for a price.
The vast majority of the nearly 20,000 funeral homes in the United States are independently owned, with the rest held by a few big corporate players like Service Corp.
The newly combined company will have a footprint of 1,653 funeral homes and 515 cemeteries, which gives it purchasing power and economies of scale that will let it offer as many options for boomers' end-of-life as Starbucks does for their morning coffee.

For all it's simplicity, this is a remarkable dessert that can also be served over ice cream.
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
8 ripe figs, halved lengthwise
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup walnut halves and pieces, toasted
1 tbsp honey
Step 1: Position the broiler rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a large heavy rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves together. One at a time, dip the figs, cut side down, in the sugar mixture to coat. Then coat the figs a second time with the sugar mixture and arrange cut side up on the baking sheet. Broil the figs, watching closely, for about 4 minutes, or until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize and the figs soften slightly and begin to ooze their juice.
Step 3: Carefully transfer 4 figs to each dessert plate. Spoon a dollop of mascarpone cheese on top of each fig half. Sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle with the honey. Serve warm.

Boiling Point: Come On Cable, Synchronize Your DVR Periods Already
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on February 20, 2012 | Comments (7)Depending on your position in life, you most likely fall into one of three camps regarding DVR service. If you're a user of it, you think it's one of the greatest inventions of all time. Way better than sliced bread. If you're someone who has their livelihood tied to commercials, you probably hate it. After all, we use it to skip that shit. The third camp is people who don't have DVRs and thus don't really care. Regardless of what camp you fit into, we must all acknowledge that the DVR is here and here to stay. No take-backsies! We have to learn to live with it – well, no, I love to live with it, it frees me up and lets me watch TV on my schedule, but I can understand why some studio people don't like it. So knowing that a DVR is running in tons of houses, I have a message to Cable Companies: get your shit synchronized!
Boiling Point: The Element of Surprise
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on March 28, 2011 | Comments (4)What's with our current know-everything obsession? With the availability of information on the internet, instantly, it seems we've come to demand more, more, more, now, now, now. It's not just the internet – there's fast food, instant downloads, and RedBox. Waiting is not something we want to do. Not knowing is not something we want to feel. Well, how about a change? I submit to you sometimes it's better not to know. Know what? Anything. Everything. Let movies surprise you again. Is it really necessary that we have casting stories not only post every day, but be updated? Do we need to tell people that Amy Adams is Lois Lane and then a few hours later update to let you know it was a cell phone call and not a land line call from Zack Snyder? Is it absolutely necessary that we know Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the next Batman film and do we absolutely need fourteen articles guessing what he'll be doing?

I had rhinoplasty done 6 months ago & I'm concerned about the swelling & my nose tip, that area is really swollen also. On the side view you can also see that the tip is somewhat swollen and I was wondering if this is permanent? There's also just one other concern, from the front view you can see that on the left side my nose bridge is wider than my right side and it doesn't meet up correctly with the middle of my nose. This makes my nose look strange in photos. Can you please advise?
Uneven and Swollen Nose After Rhinoplasty - What Can I Do?
Doctor Answers (14)
Swelling after rhinoplasty is normal and expected. It can last for well over 6 months and beyond one year depending on what was done and what type of skin you have. If you had an open rhinoplasty with a lot of internal cartilage grafting and/or if your skin thick, your swelling may be persistent. This may be reduced by taping at night or a series of dilute steroid injections, however a tincture of time may be all it takes for things to get better. I would return to your rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss any additional post-operative treatments they would recommend.
I hope this helps.
Web reference: http://www.drtrussler.com
One of the questions that patients often have is what is swelling that will go away and what is permanent. At 6 months for a first surgery, what you see is primarily what you have permanently.
There are a number of issues with the aesthetics of your nose. Some of these problems are easy to fix and some are not. The appearance of the tip is the result of two things: an inadequate removal of septal cartilage and an over-resection of tip cartilage. Ideally, in the aesthetics of the profile view on a woman, there is a slight difference in contour between the tip cartilage and the septal cartilage. This is known as the supra-tip break. On your profile, there is none. This is easy to fix. The other problem is an over-resection of the lower lateral cartilage leading to the nostrils elevating too much. It is easiest to appreciate this on the side view. We are seeing too much of the center part of your nose. This is hard to fix. As for your other concern, the appearance of the nasal sidewalls may be the result of your upper lateral cartilage position but I doubt it. I think what happened is that when your surgeon repositioned the nasal bones, the break was incomplete and the bony part of the nose is still crooked. This is generally fairly easy to fix.
What are your options now? This is where getting to a good revision rhinoplasty surgeon will make a great deal of difference. There are essentially three options: do nothing, fix the problems or camouflage the problems. Make sure you take some time to think about what is best for you before proceeding.
It can take up to a year or longer for the last bit of swelling to resolve in the nose following open or endonasal (closed) rhinoplasty. This is not to say that the nose looks unattractive during this period but rather that there is a gradual and subtle refinement of the nose, particularly the tip and the area just above the tip. I would not worry at the 6 month point as you still have some months to go in the process.
The issue you are describing along the bridge of your nose has to do with the position of the upper lateral cartilage on this left side and its relationship to your septum and left nasal bone. It appears from your photo that this left upper lateral cartilage is slightly medialized, meaning it is closer to your septum than the right upper lateral cartilage. This issue can affect your ability to breathe as well. If this problem persists as your nose continues to heal, this can be addressed in revision surgery by placing a small piece of cartilage (a spreader graft) to push this cartilage back out to its original position. Ideally there should be an uninterrupted, smooth line from the head of your eyebrow, along the side of the bridge, and down to each side of the nasal tip.
Best wishes,
Dr. Mehta

In general, most rhinoplasty results are "there" after six months. However, I have some patients which require additional 6 months of waiting, before the final result is evident. Only your surgeon can determine this.
It is also very common for patients to look at themselves a lot more after cosmetic surgery. Looking at your photos, I do not see any major asymmetry which is distracting. You should look at your before photos and you will see your nose was not perfectly symmetrical before surgery as well.
At six months most of the swelling is gone, but it can take as long as 2-3 years for all of the swelling to resolve. You should bring this to the attention of your rhinoplasty surgeon so this can be monitored. Sometimes if you tape the nose (with paper tape) overnight, the edema may be squeezed out and in the morning you may have a better idea of what the nose will look like.
I advise my rhinoplasty patients that after surgery they will most likely experience some noticeable swelling that will subside within two to six weeks. Patients should know some minor swelling can remain for as long as a year, and their nasal contour may continue to change. Final results may not be seen until that year mark. Many of the asymmetries that patients notice during the healing process prove to be a result of this residual swelling.
Web reference: http://www.drclevens.com/face/rhinoplasty.htm
At 6 months you often start seeing the final form of the nose, but it stillmay take a while for this all to resolve. I would give it another 6 months.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
by 6 months post op, your swelling at this point is basically resolved. If you are not satisfied with your result, I would bring this to the attention of your surgeon as this most likely would require a revision to address your concerns.
It is understandable that you are concerned. Changes after rhinoplasties vary with every patient and what you are experiencing is normal especially that swelling takes time to subside as it masks the results of your surgery.
Unfortunately, with the pictures posted, the lack of surgical details and the inability to perform a physical exam it is not possible to provide you with a definitive answer that could be medically sound.
It is important to keep in mind that it is early to pass a judgement. Usually, a year is required before formulating how your nose will be. Even then, your nose will keep shaping itself and to complement your face for better results in the years to come.
My best recommendations at the moment is to be patient, allow nature to take its course and edema subsides for better results. There is no doubt that once the swelling subsides, more definition and shape will be achieved and you should be happier with the results.
Also, it is important that you keep communicating with your surgeon and work as a team together to achieve the best results possible.
Congratulations on your surgery and please remain positive!

Arthur Steven Lange, Jr., (born October 11, 1967 in Union, New Jersey ), is a American television and film actor, stand-up comic and radio personality. Lange is most notable for replacing Jackie Martling on The Howard Stern Show, and as a member of the original cast of the sketch comedy series MADtv.
Click the event link below to find Artie Lang information or buy Artie Lang Tickets
Comedian Artie Lange is best known as having informally inherited the role of the tubby, prat-falling sidekick in vehicles for Saturday Night Live alums, which was occupied by Chris Farley before his death in 1997. More restrained than Farley, but of similar build and acquaintanceship, Lange has rode his appearance and his exasperated comic deliveries to a handful of film credits and a regular gig on Howard Stern's radio show.
Artie Lange was a prankster from a young age and was held back from graduating high school with the rest of his class. Lange had the last laugh when he scored a recurring role on Fox's Mad TV from 1995 to 1997. After leaving that show, Lange began capitalizing on his friendship with SNL veteran Norm MacDonald, first appearing in MacDonald's revenge comedy Dirty Work (1998) (in which Farley also appears), then working with the comic on his ABC sitcom Norm, also known as The Norm Show. The real comparisons to Farley inevitably came when he appeared opposite David Spade, former partner of Farley, in the 1999 comedy Lost and Found, in which he was required to perform many of the indignities that Farley once performed. Lange has also popped up in such films as Mystery Men (1999) and The Bachelor (1999).

I want to get a new champ! Recommendations needed!
I just got to 6300 IP and was wondering who would be a good addition to my list. The champions I play as currently (Ones I can win as) include: Jayce (Top) Diana (AP Mid) Cho'gath (AP Top/ Bot) Garen (Tanky top) So I was wondering if some people could recommend which champion may suit my play style. I have been looking into Rumble and Ahri, but I wasn't sure about my choices so I decided to check in here with you guys. Thanks! |
ok well . ahri would be the best for u really . but me myself really loves playing tanky
if u like to tank u could allways get Leona shes good and fun if u have a nice team or friendly ppl with u other than that ahri itis . its allways hard to choose . after all theres so many champs xD |
AP Mid: Janna / Katarina / Lux
Bottom Support Janna / Lux / Soraka Top Since you have more top champs, maybe you'd like to stick to your current champions? |
It seems that you like people who are a little bit tanky, I suggest Darius, he is a lot like garen and is really strong. There are many other champions, such as Hecarim, Kassadin or Malphite.
If this is your first 6300 IP, you may want to save it for level 20 runes. Also be sure to grab Alistar for free from Riot's YouTube channel. (You can also get Tristana for free.) Also try Mordekaiser, a tanky AP, which is free to try this week.

Top 10 Signings for The 2012 Great Eastern Yeo's S-League – Part two
A few days ago, we identified five out of the ten players who we think will be the best signings in this year's S-League season. Today, we look at the next five in our two-part series.
- Anaz Hadee (Tampines Rovers), Defender
When Anaz Hadee joined Tampines Rovers during the off season, the first thought I had in mind was, "What a good signing". Anaz is a versatile defender who can play anywhere across defence and should there be a need to deploy him in midfield, he will do an equally good job as well, as shown in preseason. Anaz usually operates at the full back slot but at the Stags' set up, where Steven Tan usually play with three at the back, Anaz has shown that he is a solid man marker as well. The boyish former SAFFC and Woodlands Wellington man should add value to the Tampines Rovers set up and he had already shown what he's capable of during the Great Eastern Charity Shield when he was part of the backline who kept two of the top scorers in the 2011 season at bay.
- K. Vikrman (Gombak United), Midfielder
K. Vikraman needs no introduction in the local scene. The 2011 S-League Goal of the Year winner had signed forms with Gombak United and got himself reunited with his mentor, K Balagumaran who played a huge part in the midfielder's progress in football. Vicky as he is commonly known as is a very versatile player across all attacking positions on the pitch. Blessed with good technique, Vicky is dangerous on set pieces and he is always full of tricks. The former Balestier Khalsa man is most effective when deployed on either flank. At 30 years of age this year, fans can be forgiven should they think that Vicky is nearing the end of his football careers, but as what was observed in the past few weeks of preseason training, he seemed to be getting better as the days goes by. Expect K Vikraman to play a crucial role in the Bulls' rebuilding as a team, and goals are not beyond this man. Expect some from him as well.
- Armanizam Dolah (Woodlands Wellington), Midfielder
Armanizam is one of the most talented footballers in Singapore. It remains a mystery how this midfielder has been constantly left out from the National Team. Armanizam is a deep lying midfielder whose passing ability is crucial in his all-round play. He is also a hard tackler who will not back off from a challenge from his opponents. Armanizam packs a powerful shot on his right foot and we can expect him to play a crucial role in the Woodlands Wellington set up where he was snapped up by the Rams during the off season. Should he be able to overcome his injury concerns during the season, Armanizam will be a valuable asset to the Rams in 2012. He has done well in preseason so far, and blending in just as well with the rest of his team mates. Expect more from this young midfielder in the 2012 season.
- Yusiskandar Yusop (Balestier Khalsa), Defender/ Midfielder
He spent the last two seasons in Keppel Monaco (NFL) according to Darren Stewart and now he is back in the mix with the big boys again. I personally knew this boy when he was playing with Jurong FC. The former Home United, and Jurong FC trainee was part of the Singapore U-23 team years ago but a horrific injury deprived him a chance of his progress as a footballer. The strengths of Yusiskandar is his versatility to the team, as he can fill up roles in the back line as well as in the middle of the park. The name is almost forgotten by many, but definitely, we've identified him as one of the best signings of the new season.
- Toshikazu Soya (Albirex Niigata Singapore), Forward
Toshikazu Soya is a very skillful forward whom Albirex Niigata (S) head coach Koichi Sugiyama said is "a very good player". Soya comes to Singapore with an impressive CV after being part of the Tokyo Verdy youth setup during his younger days. Soya last played for Ryutsu Keizai University before coming here to sign forms with Albirex Niigata (S). He has already made an impression in preseason where he have found the back of the net against Geylang United and Gombak United successively, both games won by the White Swans. It is too early to say if he can emulate the heroics of Shotaro Ihata in the 2011 season but from observations, Soya is looking good to shoulder the goal scoring responsibility for the team.
That's the end of our coverage on the top signings for the 2012 Great Eastern Yeo's S-League season. Do catch our feature on the player of the month at the end of each month.

The live entertainment complex sprawls over 9 acres and offers an array of cultural, artistic and gastronomic pursuits to both domestic and international tourists. Costing approximately $43m, the lavish design has been intimately scrutinised with intricate architectural detailing visible across the entire park.
The complex is split into four main areas: Culture Gully, Showshaa Theatre, Nautanki Mahal and IIFA Buzz Cafe.

Visitors can enjoy a massage from the beaches of Goa, the retail delights of Mumbai and an authentic variety of beverages at the Assam Tea House. An air-conditioned enclosed boulevard, Culture Gully has been created to resemble a food plaza and craft bazaar, complete with street performances. The street's imposing facade has been created by artistic set designer Omung Kumar, of Saawariya and Jhankaar Beats fame, and is almost other-worldly in its ethereal appearance.
Showcasing 'new and untapped talents', Showshaa Theatre hosts a kaleidoscope of Bollywood entertainment, including the 'Great Indian Talent Circus' and 'My Big Fat Indian Wedding' in a dome-shaped amphitheatre. The extravagant displays of domestic talent are designed to animate and inspire tourists and locals alike. IIFA Buzz Cafe/Lounge is a glamorous Bollywood-themed cuisine specialist, whose red velvet interior offers a wide variety of Indian delicacies in a sumptuous setting.

We are immensely proud to have been involved in the creation of something so beautiful that brings alive the richness and opulence of India's cultural heritage."

After involvement with Oakdale High's Academic Decathlon Team, Rotary Interact, Science Olympiad, Model UN … (deep breath)… 4-H, the Gay-Straight Alliance and California Scholarship Federation, it is no small miracle that Mustang senior Paul Perrone finds enough time to finish his homework and play varsity tennis.
Smiles don't get much bigger than when they are beaming from the likes of Oakdale seniors Kristen Brunk, Jessica Gomez and Nicole Armstrong.
It was a tremendous Tuesday.

Looming 19 stories above the Oklahoma landscape, the Price Tower Arts Center was originally designed as the world headquarters for the pipeline masters of the H.C. Price Company. However, even at the time of its opening in 1956, the Prairie-style cantilevered building's origin far outstripped the reputation of its intended tenants: the tower is Frank Lloyd Wright's only completed skyscraper. The H.C. Price Company moved on in 1981, but its famous former home remained; today, the National Historic Landmark stands tall as the Price Tower Arts Center—a monument to American architecture and design of the 20th century.
Inside, a range of rotating special exhibits often focus on the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright as well as works by modern artists, both past and living, from around around the world. These exhibitions include work from the center's permanent collection, which spans drawings, furniture, textiles, and samples of building design from some of the era's finest architectural minds. Docents regularly reveal facts about these pieces of art, and the design of the building itself, on guided tours to its 19th-floor executive offices, art-filled lower mezzanines, and the secret shark tank under the elevator.

What is in this article?:
- Restaurant Operations Watch: McDonald's faces perils abroad
- What McDonald's Pushkin Square unit signifies
NRN editor and restaurant operations expert Ron Ruggless breaks down what you should be watching in the industry this week. Connect with him on the latest operations trends and news at @RonRuggless and firstname.lastname@example.com.
U.S. restaurant brands have realized expansion opportunities over the past decade in the growing markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China, but an early and big player in the growth abroad this past month ran head-on into the downside.
McDonald's Corp., you could say, hit a BRIC wall, especially in the R (ussia) part.
The world's largest burger brand, which has more than 400 restaurants in Russia, objected on Friday to the Russian government's recent decision to close a dozen of its restaurants after weeks of highly publicized health and safety investigations of its locations there.
See the latest McDonald's closures in Russia >>
"We are closely studying the content of the agency documents to determine what should be done to re-open the restaurants as soon as possible," the company said in a statement.
The health investigations of the Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's franchised units came against a backdrop of heightened tensions between the United States and Russia over troops in the Ukraine and annexation of Crimea.
While Russian authorities maintain that the restaurants have been closed for health reasons, critics say the closures are a response to U.S. sanctions against Russia.
Such exposure to the uncertainties of geopolitics comes as more U.S. brands look for opportunities abroad. The BRIC countries have proved to offer prospects for major U.S. restaurant brands, but also a certain amount of hazards. The next frontier of Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey — or the so-called MIST countries — harbor their own risks.
Meanwhile, the Russian news agency Ria Novosti on Friday reported that about 100 inspections of McDonald's units were underway in various regions of the country.
Ria Novosti said Russia's consumer watchdog division, Rospotrebnadzor, launched checks in 18 regions throughout central Russia. And the news agency said the 12 closures so far were politically popular among Russians polled by SuperJob's Research Center, which found 62 percent of Russian respondents would support the closure of all McDonald's restaurants in the country.
Multinational corporations have been a key driver in Russia's economy, so a complete shutdown of a brand like McDonald's is unlikely, observers note.
McDonald's restaurants employ thousands of Russian citizens, so a ban on the brand would lead to sizable unemployment, according to a news analysis by George Zack of BidnessEtc.com.
"In addition, the spillover effect will further affect local Russian businesses since more than 80 percent of raw materials are sourced in from domestic businesses within Russia," Zack noted.
Furthermore, Arkady Dvorkovich, Russia's deputy prime minister, said earlier this week that Russian authorities have no plans of banning McDonald's.
Among the dozen McDonald's units temporarily shuttered was the popular one in Moscow's Pushkin Square, the first store opened in Russia.

The author of seven highly acclaimed books, Joseph J. Ellis has crafted a landmark biography that brings to life in all his complexity the most important and perhaps least understood figure in American history, George Washington. With his careful attention to detail and his lyrical prose, Ellis has set a new standard for biography.
Drawing from the newly catalogued Washington papers at the University of Virginia, Joseph Ellis paints a full portrait of George Washington's life and career—from his military years through his two terms as president. Ellis illuminates the difficulties the first executive confronted as he worked to keep the emerging country united in the face of adversarial factions. He richly details Washington's private life and illustrates the ways in which it influenced his public persona. Through Ellis's artful narration, we look inside Washington's marriage and his subsequent entrance into the upper echelons of Virginia's plantation society. We come to understand that it was by managing his own large debts to British merchants that he experienced firsthand the imperiousness of the British Empire. And we watch the evolution of his attitude toward slavery, which led to his emancipating his own slaves in his will. Throughout, Ellis peels back the layers of myth and uncovers for us Washington in the context of eighteenth-century America, allowing us to comprehend the magnitude of his accomplishments and the character of his spirit and mind.
When Washington died in 1799, Ellis tells us, he was eulogized as "first in the hearts of his countrymen." Since then, however, his image has been chisled onto Mount Rushmore and printed on the dollar bill. He is on our landscape and in our wallets but not, Ellis argues, in our hearts. Ellis strips away the ivy and legend that have grown up over the Washington statue and recovers the flesh-and-blood man in all his passionate and fully human prowess.
In the pantheon of our republic's founders, there were many outstanding individuals. And yet each of them—Franklin, Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison— acknowledged Washington to be his superior, the only indispensable figure, the one and only "His Excellency." Both physically and politically, Washington towered over his peers for reasons this book elucidates. His Excellency is a full, glorious, and multifaceted portrait of the man behind our country's genesis, sure to become the authoritative biography of George Washington for many decades.
"Mr. Ellis gives us a succinct character study while drawing on his extensive knowledge of Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary history to strip away the accretions of myth and contemporary extemporizing that have grown up around his subject. . . . The resulting book yields an incisive portrait of the man, not the marble statue. . . . His Excellency is a lucid, often shrewd take on the man Mr. Ellis calls the 'primus inter pares, the Foundingest Father of them all.' And it does so with admirable grace and wit." —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Ellis [writes] with clarity and grace. He has a gift for reaching a broad public with substantive books on serious subjects. In [His Excellency], he has done it again. This is an important and challenging work: beautifully written, lively, serious, and engaging… He has given us a book that will inspire other research, it will deepen our understanding of its subject." —David Hackett Fischer, Boston Sunday Globe
"[Ellis's] probing biographies remain some of the most psychologically penetrating portraits of the Founding Fathers that we have. [His Excellency] is full of subtle inroads into the man Ellis calls the "most notorious model of self-control in all of American history, the original marble man." —Richard Lacayo, Time
"Ellis skillfully uncomplicates many convoluted subjects, including the real and passionate Washington and the myths constructed around him, the economic and social forces driving him and his fellow revolutionaries…. A distinguished addition." —Celia McGee, Daily News
"In this follow-up to his bestselling Founding Brothers, Ellis offers a magisterial account of the life and times of George Washington. . . . Ellis recreates the cultural and political context into which Washington strode to provide leadership to the incipient American republic. But more importantly, the letters and other documents Ellis draws on bring the aloof legend alive. . . . The Washington who emerges from these pages is similar to the one portrayed in a biographical study by James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn published earlier this year, but Ellis's richer version leaves readers with a deeper sense of the man's humanity." —Publishers Weekly

Watch the 'Friends' cast reunite on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Jimmy Kimmel lived out his fantasy on Wednesday after staging a mini-Friends reunion on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
'Mean Tweets' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live': Which celebrities asked for meaner tweets?
Twitter is a handy place to scan the latest headlines, enjoy your favorite comedian's analyses of your least favorite reality show, and, yes, write horrific things about famous people. Jimmy Kimmel Live has turned that third thing into a simply clever and satisfying bit called "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets," in which… well, it's pretty much what it sounds like: Movie and TV stars recite the terrible things that people have said about them on Twitter with a straight face (and possibly sauce it with a comeback).
The sixth edition of the two-year-old franchise — which includes Tim Robbins calling out the bad speller that called him a "pretensious c—," Bill Murray chuckling at the tweeter who said he was glad that Murray got shot in Zombieland, and Sarah Silverman's saucy response to the person who wanted to urinate in her face — earns the No. 35 slot on our 50 Best TV Scenes of the Past Year feature, which can be found in this week's issue of EW. Below, co-head writer Molly McNearney (who's also Kimmel's wife) takes us through the cruel-ing process of creating these segments: READ FULL STORY
'Scandal': Shonda Rhimes reveals Jake was almost Fitz's VP in Jimmy Kimmel special -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Scandal fans are used to multiple jaw-droppers per episode, but if the exclusive clip below is any indication, the twists will continue in the upcoming Jimmy Kimmel special Behind the Scandalabra, airing after Thursday night's finale.

Matt Damon to make first appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' since hijacking the show
Jimmy Kimmel, you might want to hide the duct tape and hire some extra security: Notable nemesis Matt Damon has been booked to appear on the Feb. 6 installment of Jimmy Kimmel Live, EW has learned. This marks the first time that the actor will return to the ABC talk show since hijacking it last January as "revenge" for Kimmel's running gag of ending shows with an apology to Damon for bumping him as a guest. Damon will be joined by his fellow castmates from Feb. 7's big-screen drama The Monuments Men, including George Clooney (who hasn't had a sit-down appearance on JKL since its premiere 11 years ago), Bill Murray (who's never been on the show), John Goodman, Cate Blanchett, and Bob Balaban.

ABC apologizes for child's China joke on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' -- VIDEO
ABC is apologizing for a segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live in which a child joked about killing Chinese people to help erase the U.S. debt.
The boy's unscripted comment ("Kill everyone in China," he suggested) came during a comedy bit in which youngsters commented on news events. The skit, aimed at poking fun at childish politicians, aired last week on Kimmel's late-night talk show.
ABC's apology came in response to a complaint from a group called 80-20, which identifies itself as a pan-Asian-American political organization.
In an Oct. 25 letter to the group, ABC said it would never purposefully do anything to upset the Chinese, Asian or other communities. The network says the skit will be edited out of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" episode for future airings or any other distribution, including online.

Kanye West to appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
It appears Kanye West is up for making amends with Jimmy Kimmel.
ABC announced today that West is scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night, where the two will no doubt talk about last week's Twitter war in which West went on a tirade against the late-night host over a sketch featured on his show.
Talking about the impending interview on his Tuesday night episode, Kimmel said, "Kanye and I had a disagreement a couple of weeks ago — and it got a little bit out of hand. Tomorrow night, we will sit down and discuss it like normal people do — on television."
Matt Damon to make first official guest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Set your DVRs: Matt Damon will finally submit to an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, Jan. 24. And "may God help Damon if he dares show his stupid face," Kimmel said in a statement.
For nearly as long as he's hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian has had the same show-ending tradition: Apologizing and saying that he's been forced to bump his last guest of the night, Matt Damon. In 2006, Kimmel finally welcomed Damon onto the show for the first time — only to inform his guest as soon as he sat down that their time was up.
Damon got his revenge in 2008 by co-starring with Kimmel's then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman in "I'm F—ing Matt Damon," a viral video that inspired an equally popular sequel, "I'm F—ing Ben Affleck." In the years since, Damon has done cameo appearances in several pre-taped Live comedy bits, including this extended sketch from 2010's post-Oscars episode — but he's never sat on Jimmy's couch for a regular interview.
See Jimmy Kimmel administer a lie detector test to kids; plus the opening for his Brooklyn shows -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Hurricane Sandy may have prevented Jimmy Kimmel Live! from staging its first show from the Brooklyn Academy of Music last night, but tonight Kimmel will bring some comic relief to his birthplace and beyond. His week of shows in the storied NYC borough kicks off at midnight with guest Howard Stern. (Jimmy's late-night idol, David Letterman, graces the show on Wednesday.) READ FULL STORY
Jimmy Fallon to broadcast new show tonight, despite Sandy
Hurricane Sandy hasn't bested every late night Jimmy.
Earlier today, Jimmy Kimmel Live announced that it was canceling tonight's show, which was to be taped at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, on account of the storm that's raging across the East Coast. But Kimmel's rival Jimmy Fallon still plans to tape tonight's Late Night no matter what — even if he has to do it without his customary live audience.
"Midtown NYC is empty, but we are still doing a live show!" Fallon tweeted this morning, attaching a photo of a barren Manhattan avenue. He followed that message with a promise to give every member of tonight's audience a free pint of Ben & Jerry's before revealing that he'd have no live spectators after all: "We sent our audience home just to be safe," he explained via Twitter this afternoon. "But we are doing our show tonight anyway. Should be fun."
SNL's Seth Meyers, Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi, and the band Imagine Dragons will all appear on Late Night tonight.

As Hurricane Sandy makes it way to the New York City area, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has decided to cancel tonight's show from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "Due to stupid Hurricane Sandy and in the interest of the safety of our studio audience, Jimmy Kimmel Live! will not broadcast tonight," the show said in a statement. "We are hopeful to be back on the air tomorrow night with Howard Stern, Tracy Morgan and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings."
Kimmel is hosting his ABC late night talk show all week from Brooklyn, where he was born.
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Brooklyn shows to go on despite storm
At least there's plenty of material for monologues. Jimmy Kimmel Live will still film this week's shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music starting Monday, as scheduled, despite Hurricane Sandy. "We are bringing in back-up generators and will be able to do our show in the event of a power failure," a rep for the show tells EW in a statement. "We are also flying staff and crew out earlier to beat the storm. We have had no audience drop-outs so far despite news of the storm." Earlier today, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo ordered the suspension of all subway, bus and commuter railroad service starting at 7 p.m. ET Sunday.
Scheduled guests include Chris Rock, Kelly Ripa, and Alicia Keys on Oct. 29; Howard Stern, Tracy Morgan, and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings on Oct. 30; David Letterman and Vampire Weekend on Oct. 31; and Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and the Avett Brothers featuring the Brooklyn Philharmonic on Nov. 1. Guests for Nov. 2 are still to be announced.

I still do not care about sportsketball, but A for Effort, boys! Although, I'm not entirely sure who this is for? Sports fans who also love critically beloved but surprisingly-and-depressingly-middling-in-the-ratings comedy? Are there 12 comedy nerds out there who would love sports if only Alec Baldwin and John Krasinksi (or Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell, or Will Ferrell and Danny McBride, or Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris, or S.J. Perelman and Bob Elliott) told them it was OK? Fair enough. Congratulations on your new hobby, comedy nerds! It will be good for you to get some sun on that old basement face. If you do go to an actual sporting event, though, please try and keep the Monthy Python quotes to a minimum, and whatever you do, do not shout "SIMPSONS DID IT!"

I would like to state for the record that Giant's closer Brian Wilson is forreal TBS Very Funny in all of his commercials and in life.
as a lifelong Dodgers fan it is very very difficult for me to say this, but I (reluctantly) agree that Brian Wilson kind of rules. His Jim Rome interview was amazing
well, crap. that link sucks. better version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhi3SX0TAmw
Brian Wilson is one of my favourite people. Aubrey Huff isn't bad either for the comedy factor in the Giants world. I love our misfit team SO MUCH I will give them all hugs.
Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. Also, they continually bitchslap my team in the playoffs, so that may color my opinion a bit.
I am all over this post because someone invoked Brian Wilson. What's that, east coast baseball talk? I can't hear you over the sound of my favourite sports crazy person.
