"Fifty Shades of Grey" has its male lead, again.
Jamie Dornan has been cast as Christian Grey, the lead role that Charlie Hunnam withdrew from recently. Dornan will star alongside female lead Dakota Johnson, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing. Shooting is planned to begin in November, with a release in August next year.
Hunnam's departure left the project momentarily reeling. The big-screen adaption of E L James' best-selling erotic novel has been carefully followed by its fans, who were critical of Hunnam's casting.
The 31-year-old Dornan, a former model from Northern Ireland, is relatively unknown. He's starred in the British TV series "The Fall" and the ABC series "Once Upon a Time."
Unlike with Hunnam, social media reaction to Dornan's casting was generally positive.
Rivers' condo saga continues
The legal wrangling continues between comedian and condo board president Joan Rivers and a former downstairs neighbor in her luxury New York City building.
Elizabeth Hazan was able to get into a $2 million two-bedroom unit she once occupied Wednesday, despite a judge's ruling the same day that she be denied access until she paid $200,000 in common charges.
The Daily News reports that Hazan, surrounded by reporters, convinced police to let her in before officers got word of the judge's order. The judge later said Rivers would have to get an eviction order.
Rivers lives in a $30 million upstairs penthouse. In a statement, Rivers called Hazan a deadbeat owner and said the building would endure the fiasco. The board is considering its legal options.
Duke of Windsor's Cadillac for sale
A 1941 Cadillac custom-built for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor is heading for a New York City auction.
Dubbed "The Duchess," the limousine features rose-colored broadcloth upholstery, four jewelry cases and three cigar lighters.
It's estimated that it will fetch $500,000 to $800,000. It is being sold Nov. 21 by Sotheby's and RM Auctions.
General Motors delivered the limo to the Windsors at the Waldorf Astoria, where they had a suite. The duke paid $14,000 for it.
One of the first Cadillacs to have power windows, it's fitted with satin privacy curtains.
It's being sold with the car title bearing the duke's signature.

University of Texas Arlington
The University of Texas at Arlington becomes 'Hispanic-Serving Institution'
Friday, April 18, 2014
Media Contact: Bridget Lewis, Office:817-272-3317, Cell:214-577-9094, email@example.com
The University of Texas at Arlington has met U.S. Department of Education requirements to be considered a Hispanic-Serving Institution, a status that makes it eligible for federal grants supporting and strengthening institutions with large numbers of Hispanic students.
UT Arlington becomes the highest-profile public research university in North Texas to receive the designation and one of about 300 nationally.
"This designation is aligned with the mission of our University, which is to be an internationally recognized research university distinguished by excellence in every regard and by the access we provide to students from all backgrounds," UT Arlington President Vistasp Karbhari said.
"It builds on the tremendous diversity, talent and dedication of our faculty members and will help us provide appropriate levels of support to ensure that each and every student has the opportunity to excel in all aspects of their academic careers."
Pedro Reyes, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs for The University of Texas System, said the designation gives UT Arlington a distinct advantage.
"Being recognized as a Hispanic-Serving Institution will provide a host of opportunities for UT Arlington, including eligibility for a number of federal grants that can be used to expand and enhance academic offerings," Reyes said.
"I am tremendously proud of the diversity represented on our campuses across the UT System and of President Karbhari's work to provide a first-class education to students from a variety of backgrounds."
A school must have a Hispanic population of at least 25 percent full-time undergraduate enrollment to qualify for the designation. UT Arlington's Hispanic population has climbed steadily in recent years as total global enrollment has swelled to about 38,000 students. Hispanic enrollment stands at 25.2 percent of the University's 25,000 undergraduates.
While the HSI designation does not provide institutions with a direct award, it makes them eligible for funding from specific programs and initiatives aimed at promoting academic success not only for Hispanic students but for all those enrolled at the institution. For fiscal year 2014, the total appropriation for the federal HSI Program is more than $100 million.
Such grants may be used for:
- Enhancement of academic offerings, program quality and institutional stability, all of which benefit the entire student population.
- Mentorship programs to enhance retention and graduation rates of first-generation college students.
- Recruitment of Hispanic students in STEM fields.
- Identification and recruitment of high-performance students from high school and community colleges to create a pipeline to UT Arlington.
- Internship opportunities.
- Recruitment of new international students.
David Silva, UT Arlington vice provost for faculty affairs, guided the application process and said that the status means that the funds are applicable to their work and research needs, too.
"In addition to investing in our students, the HSI designation will provide new opportunities for faculty recruitment, faculty development and early-career scholars, and for strengthening UT Arlington's community partnerships," Silva said.
Robert Estrada, a UT Arlington Development Board member and chairman of Dallas-based Estrada Hinojosa & Co., applauded the new designation and called it "a critical step toward providing greater resources and opportunities for all students, including the Hispanic population."
"This is a clear reflection of the changing demographics of the North Texas region, and I am proud to see UT Arlington pursuing available resources to serve its diverse study population," Estrada said. "Diversity is part of what makes UT Arlington the world-class institution that it is, and its students and faculty are worthy of additional federal support."
Antonio Flores, president of the National Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, has said that educating Latinos is crucial to future U.S. economic stability and growth. Latinos are projected to make up a majority of the Texas population by 2020 and nearly 30 percent of the nation's population by 2050.
"We need them to be more educated and more qualified than past generations so that we can sustain the rest of the economy and have the workforce needed to maintain our competitiveness in a global economy," said Flores, who spoke at UT Arlington April 16 as part of the Center for Mexican American Studies Speaker Series. "We need to invest in the education and training of Latinos from the ground up, from kindergarten to 12th grade, into college and beyond."
Universities must re-apply for the Hispanic-Serving Institution designation annually. To learn more, visit the Department of Education website at www.ed.gov.

September 21-27, 2014 is Bisexual Awareness Week, and September 23 in particular was designated as Bisexuality Day by a group of bisexual advocates.
What does an Oscar winner have in common with a former Jersey Shore cast member?
How can the First Lady of the United States relate to the woman who had sex with Ray J on video camera?
In this ever-changing world, more and more celebrities come out as gay on a regular basis.
We've recently counted 29 stars who are out and proud.
If we asked you to name three actresses who have red hair, we have no doubt you'd rise to the challenge, likely naming way more than just three.
But how many of the names which might come to mind are natural redheads? In that "does the carpet match the drapes" sense of the word.
Anna Paquin just made a dream come true.
The former Oscar nomiee and ongoing True Blood Season 7 star went online last night and revealed a VERY new look: purple hair!!!
After shooting seven seasons on True Blood, Anna Paquin is no stranger to nudity.
Still, it's something of a surprise to see Anna gracing the cover of Entertainment Weekly completely nude, straddling her fully-clothed husband:
The dating scene is tough to break into when your job demands wonky hours and call times at 2 a.m. Maybe that's why so many TV stars date their coworkers.
Hey, it's not like they don't have anything in common, right?
Hollywood has a bit of a Peter Pan complex sometimes never wanting its child actors to grow up. But grow up they must as people do.
Occasionally, the actors and actresses we love as children make the transition to adult stars ... sometimes making a pit stop as amateur porn stars ... before going on to transition successfully into adult actors known for more than just their childhood roles.

Picture: Adam Sandler Jennifer Aniston is honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, California - 22.02.12
Adam Sandler has received eleven nominations for the Razzies, the spoof awards that highlight the worst movies of the year. It is a record for Adam Sandler who wrote, produced and starred in 'Jack and Jill', 'Just Go with It' and 'Bucky Larson: Born to be a star'.
The previous record had been held by Eddie Murphy for 'Norbit' in 2007. These nominations include worst actor for both 'Jack and Jill' and 'Just Go with It', worst actress for 'Jack and Jill' where he also plays his own twin sister, worst screen couple with Jennifer Aniston or Brooklyn Decker in 'Just Go with It' and opposite Katie Holmes, Al Pacino or himself in 'Jack and Jill'. Sandler also received worst-picture and worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel nominations for both 'Bucky Larson' and 'Jack and Jill', and worst-screenplay nominations as a writer on both movies. This was all topped off with a worst-ensemble nomination for 'Jack and Jill'. Razzies founder John Wilson stated: 'It's almost karmic for someone to have made that much razz-able stuff in one year. He has angered someone really powerful, I would say.'
Other contenders for worst-picture are 'New Year's Eve', 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' and 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1'. Transformers came in second with nine nominations and Breaking Dawn behind with eight. The winners will be announced on April Fool's Day.

Thanks! You have no idea what that means to me... Who did this? And why would you? I'm just a small time user. I'm honestly very surprised.
I'm a poor student, I rarely spend money, even for Christmas. So I'm taken aback by the generosity of the person who put so much money so that I could get a subscription. You know nothing about me, and yet you are so generous. Amazing. Thanks again for the Christmas gift (I just found out 10 minutes ago, so I'll call it that). I am very grateful.
So it's CassandraCarolina. Please show her some praise, not me, this diary isn't exactly worth recommending!
But, for me, 40 dollars a lot to spend. I don't spend that much money without really thinking about it. So for Cassandra to think Im worth it, it's an honor, Ma'am!
I really feel like Im part of the community now, I really appreciate all the love just before Christmas!

Author has written 8 stories for Twilight, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Night Huntress series.
I am a sucker for a good romance. Throw in a little angst and a good story and I am yours. You probably will not find lemons in my stories. I like reading them, but I don't think I can write them.
Right now most of my stories are on hold since I have become introduced to the Night Huntress series. I am hooked. I was inspired to write something from that series rather than Twilight. I will go back to my other stories, but this story needs to be told first.
Love the following shippers:
Night Huntress: Bones/OC, Bones/Kat
Harry Potter Universe: Harry/OC, Remus/OC
Twilight Saga: Edward/Bella, Carlisle/Bella, Jasper/Bella, Jasper/OC, Carlisle/OC, Edward/OC, Peter/Bella, Peter/Bella/Jasper
Riddick: Jack/Riddick
Firefly: River/Mal
Alice Sify- Hatter/OC, Hatter/Alice
Cassie Palmer series: Cassie/Pritkin
I use to read others too but these are the ones I will look at right now.
Now since I have been reading I noticed people like visuals at times when it involved clothes. I decided to give in an put some up here for you.

Story- Isabella & Abrielle
9/8/10 - Chapter 10 is up. I am currently working on 11. The path of the story is starting to flow. Hopefully no road blocks.
7/21/10- Chapter 9 is finished and will be uploaded soon. I am sorry for the delay. I had the chapters 1-9 stored on my old computer that died last year. I have absolutely no idea what I had previously written for chapter 9 so I am starting from scratch. I first have to reread this whole story to remember the characters as I wrote them. I know they were a bit OOC so it was important for me to try to find the flow again. Thanks for being patient. I should have something up soon.
Character Pics- I usually pic non-celebrities because lets face it they only represent a small percentage of the population. I rather more realistic girls. I will add more as I find them. I will use celebrities for Jacob, Alice & Edward.

while i don't see any reason to change how torpedos work currently, i would have loved to see torpedos as a sort of commodity.
every ship had 1-2 torpedo launchers build in, and you fire torpedos until you run out of them.
lets say a cruiser then had a complement of around 1000 torpedos onboard. and the type is determend by your choice. lets say you have 500 photons and 500 quantum. In combat you have the ability to switch between torpedo types...until you run out.
lets say cruisers and sci vessels had launchers front and aft, while the standard escort had one only in front.
an escort only has a compliment of 500, while a sci had 750 and a cruiser 1000.
something like the device slots...cruisers have 4 slots with 250 per stack, sci 3, etc.
standard common torpedos could be bought from npcs, while rare and very rare were crafted and/or via doff missions aquired.
that is, i hope we all can agree, actually canon since running out of torpedos happend several times during the shows. Also it would give cruisers and sci vessel a slight, still balanced edge towards escorts, because they have more heavy weaponry aboard, and still carry 8 beams.
But again, this is just an idea, i'm not unhappy with the current system.
*edit: i also want to add, that maybe the launcher is a sepperate slot in the ship inventory, like hangars for instance. And launchers can be put in, to maybe increase recharge time or certain types, or base yield, or flying speed.
Rapid launchers as an example: fire 2 torpedos at a time.
or efficent launcher: only uses half torpedo per shot.

WORLD No. 1 Lee Chong Wei has urged his team-mates to move on after their disappointing outing in the Sudirman Cup.
Malaysia failed to make the quarter-finals after losing to Taiwan and German in the Group C ties.
"Everyone is down but we tried. I think our women's doubles players (Woon Khe Wei-Vivian Hoo) fought hard against the Germans. We did not qualify for the quarter-finals. We have to accept this defeat," said Chong Wei.
"It's not that we lacked mental strength. I'm the most senior in the team and we have a relatively young side."
Chong Wei, however, agreed with Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) Coaching and Training committee chairman Ng Chin Chai that discipline in the national team needed to be tightened.
"I agree with all that's been said by Chin Chai. We need to improve the discipline of the players in the national team. It's time to move forward," said Chong Wei.

Just when you thought you can ease back this summer and enjoy an ice cold Corona beer, Food Safety News issued an alert today, August 19, 2014 on a nationwide recall of one of the most popular beers on the market, Corona! The bottles of beer in question are available at all markets which sell beer
The reason for the recall is quite serious. During routine testing by the company's quality control department, it was found that there is a possibility that certain bottles may contain particles of glass. The affected bottles came from one of four glass plants run by a third-party manufacturer, which supplies the company with the bottles.
It should be noted that the recall only covers 12-ounce clear bottles in select six-pack, 12-pack and 18-pack packages containing bottles with the production codes: G284B069 and F294A019. Below you will find where to look for the respective production codes.
While company officials said they believe that fewer than 1 percent of the bottles produced from the plant may be affected, it is recalling select packages that may contain defective bottles to ensure the safety of consumers. To date, the company has received no reports of injuries resulting from the affected bottles.
The following products are not being recalled:
Corona Extra cans
Corona Extra 24-pack loose bottles
Corona Extra 24 oz. bottle
Corona Extra draft beer
Corona Light bottles
Corona Light cans
Corona Light draft beer
Corona Familiar
The codes are imprinted on the neck of the bottle. The code also appears on the side panels of cardboard cartons of 12-packs and 18-packs of Corona Extra 12-ounce bottles.
For any additional questions, call the company's consumer call center at 1-866-204-9407.

Letters: Olympic attire, P.O.D., Hedgecock and more
Congress' outrage cloaked in hypocrisy
In response to "Lawmakers fuming over China-made U.S. Olympic uniform" (July 13): It is so uplifting that the Dems and the GOP finally agree. Could this be the first tiny step in solving our nation's problems? What was this breakthrough? How to close the trillion-dollar deficit or the national debt? Solving the national insurance crisis? Agreement on tax increases? All good guesses, but no.

U-T San Diego,
P.O. Box 120191
San Diego, CA 92112-0191.
They agree it's shameful that the U.S. Olympic Committee outsourced the team uniforms to China. Actually, this collective outrage is somewhat strange, when you apply the standard congressional logic formula, which is the desire to keep the constituents happy at any price. China is, after all, our Bridge to Nowhere.
Since we are completely broke but addicted to spending, it's important that we have China as our benevolent benefactor to lend us trillions. Doesn't it make sense that we should calm the beast, throw them the Olympic-outfit bone, perhaps ensuring that China won't call in our loans?
If we offend China, what about all that yuan we desperately need? Instead of railing against the USOC, perhaps we should support our sponsor by buying some of the fine products made in China – clothes, consumer electronics, tools, auto parts, computers. Oh, that's right. – Al Stoffel, San Diego
The latest issue to get our bloviating politician's underwear in a bunch is the "Made in China" label inside the U.S. Olympic Team uniforms. I would suggest that just as the athletes are subject to random performance enhancing drug testing, our political leaders should be subjected to random hypocrisy testing. They should be required to random public strip searches to see if their underwear and all other clothing items have "Made in America" labels. Let's see if they put their label where their mouth is. I would suspect that many of the American flag pins that they so proudly display were also made in China.
It's hot enough already in most of America, so we don't need any more hot air from our legislators. Let's get them all back inside the air-conditioned halls of Congress to take some actions that will help create jobs here.
How about some real investigative reporting by listing the country of origin of all legislators' cars and the contents of their homes? – Dr. Bill Casper, San Diego
Singer resonates with today's teens
In response to "P.O.D.'s latest drawls howls" (Night & Day Weekend, July 13): The headline should read "P.O.D.'s latest draws howls and praise."
Raised Catholic, I've been a born-again Christian for 16-plus years. I am a mother of an almost-21-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son whom I raised as Christians. They drifted away in their teens. Although my daughter attends church with me again, my son still questions who Jesus is. I get Sonny Sandoval's frustration in "representing a God who can help them change and help give them a meaning (in life), beyond where they are."
I have to tell you that I applaud his lyrics. For kids today, the F-bomb is invisible as "profanity." He is 100 percent correct in stating that what the kids hear is, "Wow, they're talking about me." That he muted that four letter word is also commendable.

Terming the thrashing of villagers in Osmanabad district as "inhuman", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday demanded judicial probe into the issue and stringent action against policemen involved.
"What police did was inhuman. Patil should go there and apologise to people. We seek a judicial probe into the incident," senior BJP leader Vinod Tawde said. "Only suspension or transfer of concerned policemen won't do. They should be charged with forceful trespassing, assault and molestation," he said.
On May 27, at least 25 people were injured, five of them seriously, when they were allegedly cane-charged by police in Kangara village of the district, a charge that cops denied. On the contrary, they said that villagers attacked a police team a night before.
Seeking to expedite work on international airport, Tawde said the then Chief minister had assured in state legislature that work on Mumbai international airport would begin in 2006. Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar would be holding a meeting with officials on this issue here soon, he said.
Modi will do such a work for Mumbai that it will be better off than Shanghai, he said.
Tawde also observed that farmers were saying that the Rs 852 crore relief from Centre for hailstorm-affected farmers hasn't reached them. We have requested the Prime Minister that of the 100 smart cities planned, at least ten should be from Maharashtra, he said.
The incident in Jalgaon where a woman was pushed off a train by a TC is shameful, he said.
The BJP in Maharashtra will fight the ensuing Assembly election under Gopinath Munde's leadership, Tawde said, adding that the parliamentary board will after the results decide who will lead legislature party. The 'Mahayuti' will win at least 200 of the 288 Assembly seats in Maharashtra, he claimed.

In a bid to net elusive top Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda, Orissa police on Sunday put up posters displaying his photographs in several places of three districts seeking information from people about him.
"Posters carrying Panda's photographs have been pasted in several areas in districts like Gajapati, Ganjam and Kandhamal," Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) Prakash Mishra said.
Securing information about him and get wind of his movements remained the primary objective behind circulating the photos of Panda, considered as the chief of the banned CPI (Maoist) in Orissa facing at least 20 criminal cases, he said.
Identity of those providing any information about Panda would be kept secret and if the inputs in any way helped in apprehending the rebel leader the concerned person would be rewarded, a senior police officer said.
Panda, alias Sunil alias Sarat, was believed to have played a key role in the Nayagarh attack in 2008 when heavily armed Maoists attacked police establishments and looted armoury at the district headquarter town, barely 100 km from here.
The move of pasting posters came over a month after the top ranking Maoist leader's wife Subhashree alias Milli was arrested by the police from here on various charges.
Posters with photo of another top Maoist Azad, believed to be involved in killing of VHP leader Laxmanananda Saraswati, also came up in several areas.
Keywords: Maoists, Sabyasachi Panda, Orissa police, posters, Gajapati, Ganjam, Kandhamal

Phoebe used to sleep behind our couch, but when we got a new couch with a straighter back, there was no room for her. I decided to try a "kitty cube" and she loves it. I have it in a corner near the heat so it's warm and cozy. She spends lots of winter nap time in her cozy cube.
Pros: Phoebe loves it
Cons: None

ICE announces criminal immigrant roundup
Wednesday - 9/28/2011, 4:10pm EDT
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - After months of complaints from immigrant advocates, the Obama administration promised in August that immigration authorities would start focusing their scarce resources on finding and deporting serious criminals, and largely leave alone immigrants whose only offense was crossing the border illegally.
To prove the point, more than 1,900 Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials spent the last week arresting nearly 3,000 criminal illegal immigrants in a nationwide sweep.
Everyone arrested had at least one criminal conviction and more than half were convicted of at least one felony, including attempted murder, rape and kidnapping. They will now face deportation.
ICE Director John Morton said Wednesday the roundup was the largest ICE effort to hunt down criminal illegal immigrants.
"This is what we should be doing; this is good law enforcement," Morton said. "It makes sense to be removing people who are committing crimes who are here illegally first and foremost."
There are still an estimated 1 million criminal illegal immigrants in the country, Morton said.
ICE has been widely criticized in recent months for using fingerprints collected in local jails to identify illegal immigrants. Many of the people identified through the Secure Communities program have not been convicted of a crime, only charged, and have been arrested for traffic violations or other misdemeanors.
In an Aug. 18 letter to a group of senators who have pushed for immigration reform, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said officials from DHS and the Justice Department would review approximately 300,000 deportation cases pending in federal immigration court.
At the time, officials said most non-criminals and those who do not pose a threat to public safety or national security would likely have their cases put on hold indefinitely. Those people would be allowed to stay in the country and apply for a work permit.
Critics have argued that the decision to delay some deportation cases amounts to amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants.
Morton said Wednesday the review has not started.
But agents in the field have been instructed to use discretion in evaluating who should be arrested and put in the system for deportation. In a June memo, Morton said discretion could be used in a variety of cases, including for people with no criminal record and young people brought to the United States illegally as children.
And some ICE offices and immigration judges around the country have already put a hold on a handful of cases.
In Maryland, Florinda Lorenzo, a 28-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was set to be deported in August after being arrested on a charge that she illegally sold a phone card to an undercover police officer, a misdemeanor. She served 16 hours of community service. In July she was given a reprieve and told she would have another year before she may finally have to leave the country.
Zorayda Moreira-Smith, a lawyer for Casa de Maryland, an advocacy group that has provided legal help to Lorenzo and others, said some of the center's clients have benefited from the new discretion policy. But others are still facing imminent deportation.
"It's really frustrating on our end," Moreira-Smith said of pending cases.
And Wednesday's announcement does little to clear up confusion over how many of her clients may eventually be able to stay, she said
"Because they came out with a press release, or press conference, that doesn't say anything about (other immigrants) who don't have a criminal record," Moreira-Smith said. "It doesn't resolve anything."
Morton said Wednesday while ICE officials are focusing on finding and deporting criminals some non-criminals may still face deportation because ICE has not suspended enforcement operations for everyone else.
"We don't have the power and are not going to suspend enforcement for an entire class of individuals in a broad way," Morton said.
A task force charged with reviewing Secure Communities has recommended that ICE use it only to identify serious criminals. Morton said he will meet with the task force before deciding if any changes should be made to the controversial program.

Based on the Marvel comics action hero, 'Captain America' explores how the super hero got his start. Starring Matt Sallinger as the title character, the movie begins with Steve Rogers, A.K.A. Captain America, trying to enlist in the Army during World War II. Finally, he is accepted and begins boot camp, however, he is unaware that he is being observed as a potential subject for an enhancement experiment that the government is conducting. Steve agrees to the experiment in the hopes of being able to help the government as well as the possibility of improving himself, physically. The experiment is a success and Steve gains muscles, height, and strength and becomes the United States new secret weapon, Captain America.
Captain America soon learns that the reason for the United States conducting the experiment is because the Nazis have conducted a similar experiment, the results of which produced the Red Skull. Cap, backed by the military, sneaks into Germany in an attempt to stop the Red Skull's plans and manages somewhat to succeed, however, the catch is that, in his attempts, he finds himself strapped to a rocket that is launched and lands in Antartica, where he is frozen in suspended animation. Cap remains frozen for almost 50 years until he is discovered in a block of ice during an expedition.
It doesn't take very long for a group that is led by Cap's enemy, Red Skull, to discover that Cap is still alive and has returned. Cap tries to adjust to the new world that he has found himself in and soon discovers that his services are once more needed, when the President is kidnapped by Red Skull. Once more donning his costume, he sets out to rescue the President and stop Red Skull from destroying the world using nuclear weapons. Cap succeeds in deterring the missiles, rescuing the President and destroying the Red Skull.
Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has begun shooting… and Marvel let a few tidbits from the movie finally slip. Here's what we now know: -The movie will take place in present day, following where we left off in last summer's "The Avengers." -Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury will have significant roles, not just cameos. Cobie Smulders will also be returning to her "Avengers" role as Agent Maria Hill, along with Agent Jasper Sitwell.
Latest big casting rumor: Robert Redford is reporting circling the "Captain America" sequel! If this is true, it'll be Redford's first film appearance since 2007's "Lion for Lambs," although we can also see him in the not-yet-released "The Company You Keep," which the legendary star directed and stars in. In general, the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" actor has been laying low, his focus on directing and running the Sundance Film Festival.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A battle is brewing among West Virginia Democrats over whether to continue giving tax credits to people who buy electric and hybrid electric cars.
Senate panel restores WVa electric car tax credit
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin proposed a bill in February that would eliminate that credit and give credits solely to cars that run on natural gas, propane or butane.
On Friday, the West Virginia Senate Transportation Committee revised Tomblin's bill to restore the tax credit for electric cars as well as for solar, hydrogen and liquid coal-fueled vehicles.
The committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans adopted the changes by a unanimous voice vote.
Tomblin's original bill also would have made the change retroactive to Jan. 1 so that anyone who has bought an electric or hybrid vehicle this year would lose the credit that they thought was there.
Republican Sen. Bill Cole said the changes should not be applied retroactively. Cole, a car dealer, said he liked parts of the bill but thought it was the federal government's role to promote new technologies.
For passenger cars, the tax credit is worth 35 percent of a vehicle's purchase price, up to $7,500.
Tomblin's bill also eliminated a credit for installing a home refueling station for alternative fuel vehicles. The committee version restored that credit.
Tomblin's administration proposed the changes to the 2011 law because they said it was costing more than expected. They also said the original intent was to promote cars that run on natural gas, which is produced in the state.
Tomblin's original bill was projected to save $10 million in the next fiscal year and more than that in subsequent years.
Sen. Robert Beach, chairman of the Transportation Committee, said he spoke with various individuals and agencies who wanted the tax credits preserved.
"We believe the bill motivates individuals into stepping up and developing some of those natural resources that we have," Beach said.

They keep cramming people in here, we are so overdeveloped thanks to corrupt politicians and greedy landlords bu I pity the poor business mn who actually owns his property, as his business is worth far less then his property so what are his choices but to sell out to greedy developers?
But where do all these people buying these places eat, grocery shop, get their clothes drycleaned etc. All these small necessary businesses are disappearing alongside the expensive condos.
Agreed the city is losing its flavor, its identification to modernist money.... there is no stopping it.
Really very nice article. Thanks for sharing.
There are alleys at Chelsea Pier and the 42nd Street Terminal, as well as Lucky Strike at 42nd and West Side Highway. Even so, our City, once the cultural Center of the Universe, is becoming a bullsh*t, whitewashed (literally and figuratively) shell of itself. We're not preserving its wonder (as awful and grimy as it once was) and spineless, gutless, soulless ghosts with insatiable drinking habits (as witnessed by all of the bars popping up en masse) and access to capital are taking it over
I was born in New York city, have lived here my whole life. I'm starting to feel like an employee in an amusement park, where after my shift,I have to go straight home because I'm not allowed on any of the rides.
Hoping that this does not mean an end to the Bowlmor location in Times Square.
Only other bowling place I'm aware of is next to the Avenue X Station on the F Line. But it's a rather seedy area.

KHULNA (Bangladesh): Paceman Tino Best took a career-best six-wicket haul to fire the West Indies to a crushing ten-wicket win against Bangladesh in the second Test in Khulna on Sunday, sealing the series 2-0.
The 31-year-old Barbadian followed his maiden five-wicket haul in the first Test win in Dhaka with 6-40 to dismiss the home team for 287 in the second innings on the fifth and final morning at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium.
The tourists knocked off the required 27 runs in just 4.4 overs to win their second successive series in Bangladesh. They also won the two-Test series 1-0 last year.
Chris Gayle finished with 20 not out while fellow opener Kieran Powell (nine not out) sealed the win with two consecutive boundaries off Naeem Islam.
Bangladesh avoided an innings defeat thanks to a fighting 94 by Nasir Hossain but lost their last four wickets with the addition of 61 runs after resuming at 226-6.
It is Bangladesh's 65th defeat in 75 Tests since gaining Test status 12 years ago - a dismal record which constantly raises questions over their right to play the five-day version of the game.
Their losses include 34 defeats by an innings.
Shakib Al Hasan had delayed a West Indian win on Saturday when he hit a defiant 97 but he fell to an irresponsible shot in the penultimate over of the day, exposing the tail for the West Indies on the final day.
Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul, who took 3-67, removed Mohammad Mahmudullah in the first over on Sunday when the batsman failed to keep an attempted sweep down and was caught behind by Denesh Ramdin for two.
Best then came into his own, clean bowling Sohag Gazi with his first ball of the day and ended Nasir's resistance with a sharp incoming delivery which hit the stumps.
The 20-year-old Nasir, who scored 96 in the first Test in Dhaka, faced 157 balls and hit 11 fours and a six.
The two-Test series will be followed by five one-day internationals. — AFP

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo race carEnlarge Photo
In January, we bought you news that Lamborghini would be bringing its Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series to drivers and fans in North America.
That expands the global presence of the single-car series (based around the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo) to three global markets, including Europe, Asia and (now) North America.
In its debut season, the Super Trofeo series will piggyback with races on the Grand-Am, ALMS, IMSA and IndyCar calendars. A total of six races are planned, with the following dates and venues:
IMSA will be the sanctioning body for the North American series in 2013, and given yesterday's announcement that IMSA would oversee the United SportsCar Racing series in the future, the same will likely hold true for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series beyond 2013.

Alaska ice tested as possible new energy source
Sunday - 11/11/2012, 11:16am EST
By DAN JOLING
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A half mile below the ground at Prudhoe Bay, above the vast oil field that helped trigger construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline, a drill rig has tapped what might one day be the next big energy source.
The U.S. Department of Energy and industry partners over two winters drilled into a reservoir of methane hydrate, which looks like ice but burns like a candle if a match warms its molecules. There is little need now for methane, the main ingredient of natural gas. With the boom in production from hydraulic fracturing, the United States is awash in natural gas for the near future and is considering exporting it, but the DOE wants to be ready with methane if there's a need.
"If you wait until you need it, and then you have 20 years of research to do, that's not a good plan," said Ray Boswell, technology manager for methane hydrates within the DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
The nearly $29 million science experiment on the North Slope produced 1 million cubic feet of methane. Researchers have begun the complex task of analyzing how the reservoir responded to extraction.
Much is unknown but interest has accelerated over the last decade, said Tim Collett, a research geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver.
U.S. operators in Alaska, he said, may want to harvest methane so they can re-injected it into the ground. Crude oil is more lucrative than natural gas, which is routinely injected into North Slope fields to maintain underground pressure to aid in oil extraction. Japan, Korea, India and China, however, want to cut down on natural gas imports by burning methane. Japan is setting up for a production test on a gas hydrate accumulation in the Nankai Trough south of Honshu, its main island.
"That will be the first marine gas hydrate test anywhere in the world," Collett said.
The U.S. Energy Department describes methane hydrate as a lattice of ice that traps methane molecules but does not bind them chemically. They are released when warmed or depressurized.
Methane comes from buried organic matter after it's ingested by bacteria or heated and cooked. The gas migrates upward, under high pressure and low temperature, and can combine with water to form methane hydrate.
Most deposits are below the sea floor off the continental shelf or under permafrost. Shallow pockets of methane hydrate release the potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and that process is exacerbated by climate warming.
Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity said research money should be poured into renewable resources, not more fossil fuel sources. Methane is 20 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2, though not as long-lived.
"Any exploration activities designed to extract methane hydrates run the risk of unintended consequences, of unleashing the monster," he said. Even if methane is extracted safely, burning it will add to climate warming, he said.
The world has a lot of methane hydrate. A Minerals Management Service study in 2008 estimated methane hydrate resources in the northern Gulf of Mexico at 21,000 trillion cubic feet, or 100 times current U.S. reserves of natural gas. The combined energy content of methane hydrate may exceed all other known fossil fuels, according to the DOE.
Not all is accessible, but high concentrations in permeable rock where there's existing drilling infrastructure would be among early candidates for development. The USGS in 2008 estimated 85 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable gas within methane hydrate deposits on Alaska's North Slope.
It will not be simply dug out of the ground, Boswell said.
"One of the basic messages is, we're not mining," he said. "It's using existing drilling techniques."
Methane could be extracted by lowering pressure or increasing temperature in an underground reservoir.
"One of the issues with that, though, is that you are melting the ice, and adding a lot of gas and water to the reservoir, which can compromise the reservoir's strength," Boswell said.
The Alaska research focused on a method aimed at preserving the underground ice structure. The extraction technique was based on studies done by ConocoPhillips and the University of Bergen in Norway. Researchers in a laboratory injected carbon dioxide into methane hydrate. CO2 molecules swapped places with methane molecules, freeing the methane to be harvested but preserving the ice.
The DOE worked with ConocoPhillips and Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. to see if it would work in the field. They named the North Slope well Ignik Sikumi, an Inupiat Eskimo phrase that translates as "fire in the ice."

Councils jockey to secure site for Aldi distribution centre
- From: Northern Messenger
- February 14, 2013
NORTHERN suburbs councils are already jockeying to secure a base for discount supermarket chain Aldi.
Playford and Salisbury councils are vying to get the company to build a distribution centre in their districts to serve up to 50 stores across the state.
Playford Mayor Glenn Docherty has flagged Penfield as a possible site for the distribution centre.
"I will be writing to Aldi seeking a meeting to discuss options for their expansion in the northern suburbs, and particularly within the City of Playford," Mr Docherty said.
"Areas such as Penfield have logistical synergies for a company such as Aldi.
"Council will continue to proactively work to attract investment in our community that leads to the creation of local jobs for local people."

BEAVERTON, Ore. A new study ranked Beaverton as the safest city in Oregon.
The study, conducted by CQ Press, looked at several factors, including crime rates, emergency response times and police presence.
I m proud to say that Beaverton is the safest city in Oregon, said Mayor Denny Doyle. Each and every day the brave men and women of the Beaverton Police Department go above and beyond to keep us safe. This is the sixth year in a row that Beaverton has made the safest city list.
Beaverton is a very safe and responsible community, said Beaverton Police Chief Geoff Spalding. For every 1,000 residents that move to Beaverton, the city brings on nearly 1.5 full time sworn officers. This serves as a deterrent to crime.
Beaverton finished 55th in the nation. As for other Oregon cities, Hillsboro was ranked 58th in the U.S., Bend 101st and Eugene came in at 208.
Bellevue, Wash. was right behind Beaverton in the rankings of all Northwest cities. Meridian ranked as Idaho's safest.

28 October 2013 19:25 [Source: ICIS news]
(Clarifies paragraphs 2 and 14)
CAMPINAS, Brazil (ICIS)--Scientists at Embrapa Agroenergy and other Brazilian institutions are studying the possibility of using residues from sugar and ethanol plants to cultivate microalgae, which could produce biodiesel and feedstock for ethanol, the company said on Monday.
With current technology to cultivate microalgae, one hectare of algae could yield 70 tonnes/year of biomass and 20,000 litres/year (5,300 gal/year) of biodiesel by using open tanks, said Bruno Brasil, a researcher at Embrapa Agroenergia.
"Considering the country's biodiesel production in 2012 corresponded to about to 2.8bn litres, 140,000 hectares would be necessary to cultivate microalgae in order to meet the domestic demand for this biofuel," Brasil said.
"Just to make a comparison: Brazil's soy planted area reaches 24.2m of hectares [59.7m acres], and [one hectare of] this grain may yield about 540 litres/year of biodiesel. So it's clear the great efficiency of the use of land by microalgae," he said, adding that microalgae cultivation may use non-agriculture land such as deserts and beaches.
Within the 2012-2013 harvest, Brazil has produced 240bn litres of vinasse – a sugar by-product that can be used with microalgae, Brasil said.
"We believe that, if all this volume was used to cultivate microalgae, then there would be the potential to produce 5bn litres of biodiesel" – almost double of the country's production in 2012, he said.
Similarly, microalgae species producing starch could also be used in this model to replace the oilseed microalgae, which could provide feedstock for ethanol production in similar quantities, he said.
However, using microalgae to make biofuels is not cost-competitive at present.
"A beta-carotene kilo weight may cost $2,000 [€1,440], so it is possible to have [the beta-carotene] from microalgae with the technology we have today. But in order to produce biofuels, we still need to reduce its price a lot," Brasil said.
The production of biofuels from microalgae also faces many technological challenges in order to become a commercial reality, Brasil said.
"[Some] efforts are needed to structure commercial plants within the concept of biorefineries," said the Embrapa researcher.
"Also, more researchers are needed for the selection and genetic improvement of microalgae species with a focus on high growth rates and compound interest, as well as the improvement of methods of harvesting, dewatering and the extraction of oils and other bio-products of commercial value," he said.
According to Brasil, the sustainability of large-scale commercial production of microalgae also depends of the use of alternative water sources such as brackish saltwater, agro-industrial and domestic effluents, as well as the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of commercial plants.
According to Embrapa, production and commercialisation of microalgae are a reality in the US and China, where it is used in the animal feed, cosmetics and functional foods sectors.
In order to develop more efficient microalgae, the Embrapa project is searching for high performance microalgae within the country's biodiversity, mainly in the Amazon and in the Pantanal regions.
The research is expected to be complete within the next three years, Embrapa said.
