But I follow the commits pretty regularly, and many of the component software and libraries are reaching a 1.0 and mature status. They have a very clear roadmap to reach a stable release. As I said, I'm not saying they will make a Christmas release. But to go from years of, "it will be done when it's done" to "possibly release by Christmas," that's a pretty major shift in thinking.
But I'm not taking the developers' word for it, nor should you take mine. Try it out. I think you will be impressed with the progress. It truly is already in a workable state for day-to-day use.

For example, if I use a media player (doesn't matter which one) in ubuntu to play an AAC file, it will pop-up a window telling me that it needs to install software to play that file. I just click to install, and presto, it's there.
mp3 didn't play out of the box either, but the first time I tried playing one, it gave me the info about it not being free, etc, and then let me install the codecs.
Using ubuntu as a newbie is most likely a very smooth sailing experience. It's when you try to do things that A REAL NEWBIE would not be doing that you run into other issues. And I would argue that means you are not a newbie and are willing to spend more time to understand the underlying processes.

Everyone makes assumptions about people, that is just life. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong. Your point about the question being subjective is true. As I said previously, a test like that will always have some room for error and should never be the only criteria used for a purpose.
But, as a general indicator or screening for other concerns, I think they are very useful. And, a "lie" scale on a test would not be based on that one question. There would be several (or many) that someone would have to answer "incorrectly" to give the appearance of deception.

I am a psychologist, and I do not subscribe to the idea that these tests are without flaws or that they should make up a major part of any decision-making process, whether that be deciding on hiring a person or diagnosing someone with depression. But they do have value as one tool in a toolbox.
I am interested in your ability to live your life in a way where you are firmly committed to never telling a lie. While I do think that allowing someone to make erroneous conclusions while I remain silent is deceptive, the idea of never verbally lying is interesting. Never even little white lies?

World champion Viswanathan Anand prevailed in a series of rapid chess games against challenger Boris Gelfand to retain his world title here on Wednesday.
After three weeks of regular play ended with the score tied at 6-6, Anand and Gelfand faced off in a series of tie-breakers on Wednesday, with the title of world champion and $1.53 million going to the winner.
Showing the speed and coolness under pressure which has characterised his career, the Chennai-based Grandmaster stayed ahead of Gelfand on the clock at the key moments in the 25 minutes per player tiebreakers and, despite plenty of chances, Gelfand was unable to break through Anand's defences in any of the four games.
Anand, who won the four game series 2.5-1.5 (with a win and three draws), will keep the FIDE world title he has held since 2007 for another two years.
Tense match
"The only feeling I have is relief," said Anand after the final playoff game ended in a hard-fought draw, leaving him with the title. "What can I say? It was incredibly tense and the match could have gone either way. After we drew the first 12 games, the only thing that could separate us was the rapid games and things really went my way today. My nerves held out better and I hung on for dear life."
Gelfand could only rue his missed chances, saying, "It was a very equal match. I had an edge in most of the rapid games but my problem was always my lack of time — I made blunders in the second and third games."
Anand, the heavy favourite at the start of the match, admitted that he thought he might have lost the world title after losing the seventh game to fall behind Gelfand in regulation time with just five games to play.
"It was a heavy blow to lose game seven. I can't remember such a dark day as after Game 7. I couldn't sleep and I thought I had blown the match. I was very fortunate to come back and win the next day even though I know it was not Boris' best day. I was very proud to win the next game."
Anand said that he had never been sure of victory. "I never felt like a favourite. I know Boris too well for that. I am just relieved."
Attacking start
The first play-off game was a violent affair where both players attacked their opponent's kings without concern for lost pawns. With both players down to less than three minutes on the clock, most of the attacking pieces were neutralised and a draw was agreed after 32 moves.
The second rapid playoff game was an epic battle which Anand won only on the 77th move, the longest game of the match. Anand surprised Gelfand in the opening phase and gained plenty of time on the clock but the Israeli challenger sacrificed a pawn and soon acquired powerful counter-play.
Gelfand succeeded in doubling his rooks on the seventh rank on the 31st move, normally a crushing manoeuvre, but by then he had only 42 seconds left on his clock to avoid a time forfeit and he was relying on the 10 second increment per move to keep him in the game. Anand defended stoutly and, after a mistaken series of exchanges by Gelfand, reached an endgame which was a technical draw, despite Anand's extra pawn.
However the Indian, with a four-minute time advantage persisted, seized the moment to induce a mistake from the previously nerveless Gelfand. "Boris defended well," said Anand, "and the result should have been a draw."
However on move 70, Gelfand ran himself down to two seconds before moving and his next move, made at speed to avoid a loss on time, was a fatal error.
Anand exchanged into a technically winning rook endgame and on move 77, faced with a slow but sure winning manoeuvre well known from all endgame books, Gelfand resigned.
Just ten minutes later, Gelfand and Anand were required to front up for the third tie-break game and it turned out to be another marathon, this time with Anand, playing Black, on the defensive throughout.
Missing out
Gelfand achieved a dominating position after the opening and missed a clear win on his 26th move, after which Anand was able to hold his losses to a single pawn.
Anand stayed active but every time he threatened to take control, Gelfand had the answer.
"I was just lost," said Anand, "but I was lucky that I was lost in a way that I would always have some counter-play."
Anand, gambling with his opponent again down to just a few seconds, exchanged into a rook endgame which should have been losing but Gelfand had insufficient time to find the correct path and a faulty 61st move allowed Anand to scramble a draw two moves later.
The fourth game and final rapid began with Gelfand desperate for a win, but an unorthodox choice of opening by Anand forced the queens off the board and left another ending for Gelfand to play with less time on the clock. "I know you are not supposed to play too hard for a draw," said Anand, "but I did exactly that."
With no realistic winning chances in a rook endgame, Gelfand offered a draw after 56 moves, to help Anand end his toughest world title defence successfully.

The 20 Most Beautiful Children's Books of All Time
[Editor's note: It's Labor Day, so your devoted Flavorwire team is taking a break. To keep you entertained, we're leaving you with our most popular features of the summer months. This post originally ran July 9th.] Ever since Chris Van Allsburg's birthday last month, we've been feeling a surge of appreciation for the plethora of beautiful picture books in our lives. In fact, we think some of the loveliest illustrations we've ever seen have been in books (or maybe that's just the association with a great story talking), so we decided to round up a few of the most beautiful children's books — at least according to us. Keep in mind: we're going for beauty, not iconic status — so Tenniel's Alice drawings and a few other iconic, innovative illustrations, while dear to us, don't make the cut. Leaf through our picks for the most mindblowingly beautiful picture books after the jump, and since we can only draw from our own personal knowledge and tastes, and we know there are scores upon scores of gorgeous children's books out there (thank goodness), be sure to add any other favorites of yours to our list in the comments! … Read More

LUBBOCK, Texas — MicroZap Inc. claims its technology allows bread to stay mold-free for 60 days.
The bread is bombarded with microwaves for about 10 seconds, which kills the mold spores, said chief executive officer Don Stull said.
The process could eliminate bakers' need for preservatives and ingredients used to mask preservatives' flavor, as well as reduce food waste and increase bread's shelf life, he said.
Researchers at Texas Tech University also see using the technology in bread made in developing countries, where there are fewer food safety standards and spoilage is a problem.
Stull said testers found the treated bread's taste and texture unchanged.
Sixty-day-old bread was not available to taste.
Unrefrigerated bread in plastic packaging will succumb to mold in about 10 days.
Ruth MacDonald, professor and chair of food science and human nutrition at Iowa State University, said though bread producers might like the technology for storage and transportation, airborne mold spores are problematic at home.
Once you open (the bag of bread), all bets are off, she said.
Researchers with the university tested the MicroZap on three different mold types on breads inside plastic bags with twist ties, and the microwaves destroyed each one.
But there are characteristics that the zapping won't improve; it won't keep bread from going stale. As for touch, firmness and flavor after 60 days, one scientist had his doubts.
There would certainly be some questions that I would have around the texture of the bread holding for 60 days, said Brian Strouts, head of experimental baking for the Manhattan, Kan.-based nonprofit American Institute of Baking. There's a lot of things that can start happening, including bread becoming rancid.
Stull estimated an in-home MicroZap unit would cost about $100 more than a regular microwave.

Perfect for spring and summer! Flowery, but not overpowering, it's great for everyday use. Unlike most flowery perfumes, this one is unique! It could be worn by teens also!
I give 4 stars, because I'd like it to last longer.

NEW ORLEANS -- An 8-month-old boy is dead after a car crash Tuesday morning in New Orleans East.
The accident happened on I-10 Service Road near Westlake Drive, according to the New Orleans Police Department spokesman Officer Garry Flot.
Flot said an unidentified 23-year-old woman was driving in a red Ford Focus eastbound on the I-10 Service Road with her 8-month-old baby when she lost control of her vehicle. She veered into oncoming traffic and hit a Nissan Titan truck.
Flot said the baby died in the hospital. The mother was not injured.
The sole person in the Nissan, an unidentified 63-year-old man, suffered only a minor injury.
Flot didn't comment on whether the baby was in a car seat, but said it was an ongoing investigation.
Blood and alcohol tests are pending.

Publishers Weekly
Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters failed to wash away evil in bestseller Spindler's grim vision of New Orleans. In the storm's aftermath, police discover a refrigerator stocked with severed right hands, evidence in a string of bizarre murders attributed to "The Handyman." A shallow grave containing a hand-less body and the badge of Sammy O'Shay, an NOPD captain shot and killed during the hurricane, convinces Capt. Patti O'Shay that the Handyman is responsible for her husband's death. Meanwhile, exotic dancer Yvette Borger claims to have received cryptic, obsessive love notes signed "The Artist," but the NOPD questions her motives and credibility. When O'Shay picks up on similarities between her Handyman and Borger's Artist, the by-the-book captain finds herself bending the rules to get to the heart of the stripper's story. While strong female leads compete for space, overwritten backstory and subplot sometimes drag on the investigation's urgency. Spindler (Cause for Alarm) hints throughout at the killer's psychology, but nothing prepares for the ludicrous diagnosis offered at the end. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Many multi-storeyed buildings in Coimbatore, both in the residential and commercial category, followed the fire safety norms only as a formality to obtain fire licence with only a few adhering to the norms consciously with safety in mind, according to Divisional Fire Officer N. Subramanian.
Speaking to The Hindu, he said that as per the fire safety standards issued in 1992, all buildings above 15 metres must have automatic sprinkler systems and two portable fire extinguishers for every 60 feet.
Overhead tanks
All buildings must have two staircases, overhead tanks and both diesel and electric pumpsets besides clear signs pointing to the exits.
Even the residential buildings must have a separate fire lift to be used only during fire emergencies. Buildings above 60 metres must have provision for a helipad for evacuating those trapped during a fire emergency.
Further, he said that during an emergency in high rise buildings, fire spreads mostly through the ducts and wiring, all of which must be protected. The air conditioners must be reinforced with fire. Public address systems must be installed in all high rise residential and commercial buildings
"Textile shops, which are plenty in number in Coimbatore, are among the most dangerous if a fire were to break out as the smoke from nylon and silk would completely engulf the city. But there are violations in most of these shops in Coimbatore and we have issued notices to many shops," said Mr. Subramanian.
Many of these shops store the boxes near the fire exits, which poses a double threat as they tend to catch fire easily and block the people from escaping during an emergency.
Also, very few establishments conduct fire safety and evacuation drills with any frequency. Such exercises could save lives during an emergency, he adds
The Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services has classified buildings into nine categories: residential, educational, institutional, assembly, business, mercantile, industrial, storage and hazardous.
In Coimbatore, the maximum number of buildings fall under business, with residential and institutional buildings coming next.
Keywords: Multi-storeyed buildings, Coimbatore building fire, fire safety norms, fire licence, fire safey standards

Great shirt! Perfect for morning hikes to keep warm and wick away the sweat when warmer. Slim fit is accurate and as with most patagonia, sleeves are longer. Perfect for me but if you have short arms, yee have been warned!
I bought this looking for a good base layer for mountaineering, I wanted something light in color so when the sun hit it it wouldn't be increasingly warm if it needed to be an outer layer at some point. This being said it is very comfortable and it has thumb loops to help keep it in place when layering up. Over all I think it will serve its purpose well.
I was honestly a bit disappointed with this product. I brought it on a two week 101 mile backpacking trip and at first it was doing great. It kept me cool and provided great sun protection when I needed it. It was also great for layering at night when it cooled down but it started to fall apart on me very quickly. The seam on the right side split and started to unravel itself and soon after that I started to find multiple parts of this shirt coming unthreaded and I hadn't even done anything to the shirt that should constitute such wear and tear. It seems like this product is rather cheap and not the quality that I expect from Patagonia.
The Patagonia Cap 2 is good but the Cap 2 Zip Neck is the Ballin'! I am 5' 11" and 135 lbs and I prefer to keep it close to the skin with a Men's Small. This shirt is machine washable and line dry. I use this shirt for layering, it's moisture wicking and pretty much seamless. When I travel I always bring at least one of these along. Pros: "Iron Clad warranty", next-to-skin comfort, breathable. Perfect for layering. Zip Neck: Woot Woot!Cons: Since this shirt is made of polyester it retains odors more than fabrics like wool. After wearing it as a baselayer for a few days, you'll def start to "smell it". But how often do you wear the same shirt multiple days? Bottom line: Love it. I now prefer merino wool, but this polyester shirt is at a great pricepoint and fits like like glove for your upper body. The Zip neck lets you "dump" heat when you get warm and let's you show of your chest. This is a perfect conversation starter!

In a decision which would benefit over 55,000 Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) teachers in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today announced service benefits and transfer policy for them, meeting their long- pending demand. "With great pleasure, I am thankful to the Deputy Chief Minister (Tara Chand, who is also school education minister) and my cabinet colleagues, who gave me this opportunity to announce that your long-pending demands have been accepted today," Omar said at a gathering of ReTs here.
The ReT scheme, under which qualified people of an area were appointed teachers in their respective areas, was started by the previous National Conference (NC) government in 2000 with an intention to lower the rate of unemployment and improve the literacy rate in the state.
A teacher under this scheme was paid a fixed stipend of Rs 1,500 per month for the first five years of his service after which the services were regularised. However, the five years of service were not included in their service records and there was no transfer policy for them. "We discussed this in the cabinet that our ReT teachers, who play an important role, have two main demands and government should think on them. We recruit you for a school and then even after regularisation, we tell you that you cannot be transferred from this school. There are many problems in this, especially with lady teachers who have to stay at the place where they have been recruited even after marriage. "It leads to many mental and social difficulties for them. And a vested interest may get developed if a person is placed at a particular place for a long," Omar said.
He said the government was of the view that there was nothing wrong in these demands. "When there is no difference between an ReT teacher and a regular teacher after regularisation, why have a difference on this (transfer)? And when you work right from the day you are recruited, then why determine your seniority from the day you are regularised? So, when we thought on these, we felt what you demand is nothing wrong. Not accepting these demands would have been a grave injustice to you," he said.

Amid the decadence and epicurean excess that fuel the nation's food and wine festivals, a few non-traditional themes are beginning to assert themselves: health, fitness and green living.
The tens of thousands of culinary tourists who hit the circuit this year still can gorge on the creations of superstar chefs and progressive winemakers, but they'll also encounter activities that focus on aspects of life that are more beneficial to their bodies and their families:
•Aspen's 26th annual Food & Wine Classic (June 13-15) will include an "East-West Vegetarian" seminar from chef Ming Tsai; a tasting of biodynamic wines; and a seminar on "Hybrid Living" presented by festival co-sponsor Lexus, which will demonstrate its hybrid car.
•At the Eat, Drink & Be Green festival, to be held April 20 (the Sunday before Earth Day, April 22) at Iron Horse Vineyards near Sebastopol, Calif., the agenda will embrace tastings of wine and produce from the surrounding Green Valley, along with a keynote speech on the environment by National Geographic chairman Gil Grosvenor, a solar-powered performance by a reggae band, and a demonstration of a $100,000 Tesla electric roadster.
•Most ambitious of all is the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami (Feb. 21-24), which is spinning off its 2-year-old Kidz Kitchen concept into a "festival-within-the-festival" called Fun & Fit as a Family (Feb. 23-24; funandfitasafamily.com).
Kidz Kitchen brought youngsters and culinary pros such as Emeril Lagasse together for activities that taught the basics of cooking; its popularity spawned the new and expanded mini-festival, which is being staged at the Jungle Island theme park 3 miles from the adults-only main festival. The $23 admission fee (children must be accompanied by adults) includes festival events and the regular Jungle Island attractions.
Culinary celebrities from the main festival, including Rachael Ray, Tyler Florence and Jamie Oliver, will be interacting with kids and parents, but their agenda is designed to teach the dangers of childhood obesity and the mechanics of preparing healthy meals. They'll be joined by Alice Waters, who will oversee a permanent installation of her Children's Food Garden, and a variety of local chefs and health and fitness experts who will lead interactive sessions.
"This went from being one healthy seminar a few years ago to creating a whole healthy weekend for kids and family," says Lee Brian Schrager, the festival's founder and director. "I don't think we ever thought it would become as big as it has."

Short sales outpacing sales of bank-owned homes
Thursday - 12/6/2012, 12:02am EST
By ALEX VEIGA
AP Real Estate Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sales of U.S. homes facing foreclosure are on the rise and outpacing sales of bank-owned homes, a reflection of stepped up efforts this year by lenders to avoid foreclosing on homes with mortgages gone unpaid.
In the third quarter, sales of homes already in the foreclosure process jumped 22 percent compared to the previous quarter and a year earlier, foreclosure tracker RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.
Short sales, when a lender agrees to accept less than what the homeowner owes on their mortgage, accounted for 65 percent of those so-called preforeclosure sales in the quarter, the firm said.
Banks have become more amenable to short sales as an alternative to foreclosure, which can often end up leading to bigger losses and mire lenders and borrowers in a time-consuming and expensive process.
"More and more, they're seeing that they're going to lose less by approving a short sale than by dealing with the foreclosure process," said Daren Blomquist, a vice president at RealtyTrac.
Attempts to fast-track that process, particularly in states where the courts must sign off on foreclosures, led to allegations last year that many banks and mortgage servicers processed foreclosures without verifying documents. Five of the biggest U.S. banks agreed in February to pay $25 billion to settle the claims as part of a deal with federal and state officials.
In the months since, the banks have increasingly used short sales as a way to provide mortgage relief to borrowers.
The lenders have reported that they provided $26 billion in home-loan relief between March 1 and Sept. 30, with about half of that stemming from short sales.
Some banks, like JPMorgan Chase & Co., have been giving borrowers financial incentives to pursue a short sale. Others are trying to speed up the transactions, which in years past could easily take six months or more before being finalized.
"A lot of the banks right now are setting the expectation that it will take about 60 days to process, some even faster," said Jenna Smith, a listing agent for real estate website Redfin in Chicago. "In prior years I've had them drag out for nine to 12 months."
Banks also have been approving short sales for borrowers who have yet to enter the foreclosure process.
These types of short sales increased by 15 percent in the third quarter versus the previous three months and were up 22 percent from the third quarter of last year, RealtyTrac said.
As short sales and other preforeclosure sales have become more common, they have begun to outpace sales of bank-owned homes.
Some 98,125 homes in some stage of foreclosure were sold in the third quarter, while 94,934 bank-owned homes were sold in the same period. Preforeclosures have outnumbered sales of bank-owned homes through the first nine months of the year, RealtyTrac said.
Sales of bank-owned homes rose 19 percent versus the second quarter, but fell 20 percent from a year earlier.
All told, foreclosure sales totaled 193,059 in the July-to-September period, an increase of 21 percent from the second quarter, but a drop of 3 percent from a year earlier, RealtyTrac said.
Despite the growth in short sales, foreclosure sales made up a slightly smaller share of all U.S. home sales in the third quarter. They accounted for 19 percent of all residential sales, down from 20 percent in the previous quarter, and unchanged from the third quarter of 2011.
Buyers who purchased a bank-owned home or a preforeclosure property in the third quarter got a bigger discount relative to other types of homes.
The average price of a foreclosure sale in the third quarter was 32 percent below the average sale price of non-foreclosure homes, RealtyTrac said.
That's up from a 29 percent discount in the second quarter and a 31 percent discount in the third quarter of 2011.
Homebuyers who purchased a foreclosure sale in the third quarter paid an average of $177,430. That's down 4 percent from the second quarter and up 3 percent from a year earlier.

Southern Vampire author Charlaine Harris visits Memphis, Blytheville
Mystery writer Charlaine Harris likes to give her heroines a healthy life span. If it hadn't been for Sookie Stackhouse, Harris might be best known as the creator of the Georgia librarian and amateur sleuth Aurora Teagarden, who flourished in an eight-book series that began in 1990, or the house-cleaning, karate-chopping Lily Bard of the five-book Shakespeare series that began in 1996.
But Sookie, the psychic small-town Southern waitress who has an affinity for vampires (and fairies, shape-shifters and werewolves) has eclipsed the popularity of Harris' other heroines. And Sookie's fan base exploded when the books spawned Alan Ball's HBO series "True Blood."
"Deadlocked" (Ace Books, $27.95), the 12th installment in Harris' Southern Vampire series, came out this month, and the author's book tour brings her to Memphis on Tuesday for the Central Library's Book Talk program at 2 p.m. At 7 Tuesday evening, she'll be in Blytheville, Ark., for appearances at the Ritz Civic Center and That Bookstore in Blytheville.
Harris, 60, grew up in Tunica, Miss., and graduated in 1973 from Rhodes College, which gave her an honorary degree in 2010. "I was so excited," she said last week, by phone from her home office in Texas. "I have it on my wall — I didn't think I'd get another."
Her first novel, "Sweet and Deadly," first published in 1981, was released again 30 years later because of her ever surging fame. "This whole thing has been crazy to me," she says. "Some colleges teach (my work), I've got a doctorate."
Harris points out that though vampires are a common presence in fiction and film now, when she arrived on the scene, it was sparsely populated by Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Laurell K. Hamilton's Vampire Hunter series. (Rice is a Harris fan: "She's very witty — there's a lot of satire there," she said in an interview last year.)
Harris began writing Sookie Stackhouse stories in 1998, using vampires as a "flexible symbol" to drive the tales.
"I wanted to write about vampires trying to blend in to today's society legally and publicly, dating, how that would work out. It's such a rich mine."
One of Harris' innovations was to give her vampires supernatural sexual abilities. As "Dead Until Dark," the first entry in the Southern Vampire series, begins, Sookie wonders whether vampires have sex, and she loses her virginity finding out that the answer is "very well, thank you." While Sookie has a practical interest in sex that Harris exploits frequently, the character is also naturally demure and private. As the narrator, Sookie often punctuates the vain public displays of vampire sexual prowess with an "eww."
"Sookie was brought up right," Harris says. Ask her if Sookie has some of her characteristics and Harris replies: "All my characters have some element of me in them, but if you met me, you would be very surprised. I look like everybody's aunt."
Her quick-witted heroine is under-employed in the service industry in Bon Temps, La., because of her "disability." She "hears" other people's thoughts and has to devote vital mental resources to blocking out the chaos. Harris says she decided to complicate Sookie's life with telepathy because, "It was the worst thing I could think of to have."
And though Harris has never been a waitress, she understands under-employment. "I got married right out of college and my first husband went back to school on the GI bill. I worked my butt off at a minimum wage job which at the time paid $1.65," she said.
"An office job wouldn't work for (Sookie). She had a limited education, wouldn't have gone beyond high school," Harris said. "If she had decided to address envelopes for money, there wouldn't have been the ebb and flow around her." A bar provided a dynamic and changeable backdrop.
"Dead Until Dark" was followed by "Living Dead in Dallas," "Club Dead," "Dead to the World," "Dead as a Doornail"... Harris said she only provided the first title. "'Dead' in every title wasn't my idea," Harris said. "That was a marketing decision, one I grew really tired of."
Her acknowledgments for "Deadlocked" include this intriguing line: "My sincere gratitude to Stefan Diamante of Body Roxx for his Male Strippers 101 course." The novel opens with Sookie and her friends out for ladies' night at a strip joint.
"He was certainly very informative," Harris says of her source. "I needed someone who was a practicing male stripper in the South. ... He was very forthcoming, but you never can use everything you learn."
She's immersed in the supernatural, but not, apparently, in superstition. Her last book in the Southern Vampire series will be the 13th, and it will come out in 2013.
"It's serendipity," Harris said of the numbers.
Harris will be interviewed by Stephen Usery, producer of Book Talk, at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Benjamin Hooks Central Library, 3030 Poplar.
She will speak at 7 p.m. at the Ritz Civic Center on Main Street in Blytheville, Ark. Tickets for the event are $5 and $10. It will be followed by a booksigning at That Bookstore in Blytheville. Call (870) 763-3333 for more information.

Add zest to shrimp with lemon juice, black pepper
Tasty dish doesn't take long to whip up
Lemon Pepper Shrimp
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 tsp. olive oil, divided use
1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
3/4 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Mix lemon juice, olive oil and cracked black pepper together in a small bowl. Add shrimp and marinate 15 minutes, toss a few times to make sure the shrimp are coated with marinade. Remove shrimp and thread on skewers, making sure the skewer goes through the thickest part of and the tail on each shrimp.
Grill about 5 inches from heat for 2 minutes. Turn and grill 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on top of rice. Makes 2 servings.
Per serving: 248 calories, 34.7 grams protein, 3.2 grams carbohydrate, 9.8 grams fat, 1.5 grams saturated fat, 36 percent of calories as fat, no fiber, 260 milligrams cholesterol, 252 milligrams sodium.
Rice with Broccoli and Herbed Goat Cheese
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 lb. broccoli florets
2 tbsp. herb goat cheese
2 tsp. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Bring a large pot with 2 to 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add rice and boil, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add broccoli and continue to cook 5 more minutes.
Test a grain; rice should be cooked through, but not soft. Drain in a colander in the sink. Return to pot and mix in goat cheese, oil and salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place rice on individual dinner plates and add shrimp on top. Sprinkle with basil. Makes 2 servings.
Per serving: 267 calories, 5.7 grams protein, 42.3 grams carbohydrate, 7.6 grams fat,0.1 grams saturated fat, 26 percent of calories as fat, 1.2 grams fiber, no cholesterol, 20 milligrams sodium.
Lemon juice and cracked black pepper give a hot and tangy flavor to shrimp grilled on skewers. It only takes 15 minutes to marinate the shrimp in lemon juice, olive oil and pepper. Shrimp left in marinade too long get soft.
Using skewers can be tricky. When you try to turn them over, often the skewers turn and the shrimp don't. To avoid this, I use flat rather than round skewers and I thread each shrimp twice, piercing first the thickest end of the shrimp and then the tail. Another method is to use two skewers side-by-side, threading both skewers through the shrimp. Place the shrimp about a half-inch apart on the skewers. If they are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
The shrimp can be cooked on a stovetop grill or under the broiler. Be sure to preheat either appliance. The cooking time is about the same. The shrimp are done when they are no longer translucent in the center.
An easy side dish of herbed goat cheese, broccoli, fresh basil and rice complete this simple but tasty dinner.
This meal contains 515 calories per serving, with 30 percent of calories from fat.
Wine suggestions
Lemon pepper shrimp and a side dish with goat cheese present a zingy, high-acid challenge to a wine lover. One of Australia's semillon/sauignon blanc blends would handle both nicely.
Helpful hints
Buy shelled shrimp.
A quick way to chop basil is to wash, dry and snip the leaves with scissors right off the stem.
I like to boil rice like pasta, in a pot large enough to let the grains roll freely in the boiling water. This method gives fluffy rice every time.
Light grill. If using a charcoal grill, allow 30 minutes for coal to burn down.
Marinate shrimp.
Make rice.
Grill shrimp.
1/2 3/4 1/2 1/2 1/4
Shopping list
Here are the ingredients you'll need for tonight's Dinner in Minutes.
To buy: 2 lemons, 1 small bunch basil, 1/2 pound broccoli florets, 1 small package herb goat cheese, 1 package cracked black pepper, 3/4 pound medium shrimp.
Staples: long-grain white rice, olive oil, salt and black peppercorns.

Best Buy Is A Great Value Play
A few weeks ago I gave my list of the Best Sectors To Invest In For 2011. One of my picks was certain specialty retailers. There is one retailer that I think is finally a value play. It is trading at a single digit multiple.
The company whose stock that I like is Best Buy (BBY).
Best Buy Inc. is the largest specialty electronics retailer in the United States. Best Buy has a 19% share of the $170 billion dollar United States consumer electronics market. Best Buy has 6% stake in the global consumer market. Best Buy has a market cap of $12.7 billion dollars and 180,000 employees.
Shares of Best Buy have plummeted recently as the stock has dropped from nearly $50 a share to the low 30's. Investors have abandoned the stock as fears have grown about the retailers ability to expand outside of the United States. Best Buy is down nearly 15% this year. The company has seen margins being squeezed due to increased competition and the company's expansion plans into foreign markets has not gone as smoothly as expected.
Gross margins are still high at 25% but operating margins have dropped down to the 4's the last three years. Revenue growth has been solid at 12.6% over the past five years. Best Buy's online sales growth is dropping however. Best Buy reported online sales growth of just 7% last year. That's down dramatically from the 16% number in Q2 and 26% in Q1.
Best Buy Is A Value Stock
Best Buy is cheap based on a number of valuation metrics. The stock trades at a forward P/E ratio of 8.9. 0.7 times earnings growth and a 0.3 price to share ratio. The stock trades at 2.1 times the stock price and at 6.6 times cash flow. Best Buy is not yet a dividend play because the stock has a mediocre yield of 1.9%.
The company has one of the best balance sheets in the retail sector with nearly $1 billion dollars in cash and $1.8 billion dollars in debt. Return on equity is high at nearly 24% and return on assets is respectable at 7%.
Best Buy is currently undergoing a massive restructuring in its overseas operations. The company has closed stores in China and Turkey. Despite the setbacks, the company is not giving up on its overseas growth. Best Buy plans to open 50 Five Star stores in China over the next year and150 Best Buy Mobile stores in the U.S. Best Buy plans to open 18 stores in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Canada by 2010.
I think that the stock has been oversold. There isn't much downside risk in the stock since it is trading at such a low multiple. Long term investors are getting a chance to buy a solid retailer at a reasonable price.

I wish I had owned Best Buy when Circuit City filed for bankruptcy. It seems like the stock has always been a solid one, even in the past 3 or 4 years. Thanks for the read.
I can see the Ipad 2 helping sales at best buy. I believe the original is sold there as well as the Iphone. Cell phones and computers are two big ticket items sold at best buy. When the Ipad 2 comes out, not only will this be a popular item at best buy but also the original will come down in price. Those looking to get one will be more likely to afford it. Best Buy is a simple and easy way to get one. Other hot items include game consoles, televisions and appliances. They seem to be very good at getting the next big thing into their store asap.
Good evaluation of the stock. Its definitely a value stock according to its relatively low PE ratio.
there's 2 questions to be asked:
1. is it cheap?
2. is it cheap for a reason?
Unfortunately affirmative on both counts… Borders was also cheap shortly before it filed for bancrupcy. Retail is a very difficult sectors and typically things go well until they don't and then it's often too late with no way back. BBY is stuck to long term leases and faces with declining same store sales due to increased competition from both Amazon and WMT. BBY can't compete on price with neither of them and is consequently… a sitting duck.
