PSBank posts record net profit of P2B in Q1
popular .
MANILA, Philippines–Philippine Savings Bank, the thrift bank arm of the Metrobank group, generated a record-high net profit of P2 billion in the first quarter as hefty trading gains complemented core interest earnings.
The first quarter net profit was 273-percent higher than the level in the same period last year, the bank disclosed to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Monday.
PSBank grew its net interest income by 8.7 percent to P1.5 billion. Interest earnings from loans went up by 16 percent to P1.9 billion as the bank expanded its loan book by 23 percent to P77 billion. Strong consumer confidence and sustained economic growth continued to buoy demand for loans, the bank reported.
Auto lending rose by 28 percent compared to the previous year while mortgage lending expanded by 21 percent. The bank's combined small and medium enterprise as well as large corporate loans likewise went up by 25 percent.
Meanwhile, the low-interest rate environment allowed PSbank to post large trading gains from its investments in government securities. Trading gains amounted to P3 billion from only P1.7 billion in the same period last year.
The bank also grew income from service charges and commissions by 13 percent year-on-year.
On the other hand, improvements in operating efficiency brought by automation kept operating expenses flat at P1.8 billion, the bank said.
"We are seeing traction in our strategy of improving sales coverage and operating efficiency as evidenced by the continued increase in market share for our key loan products, auto and mortgage. Given this loan increase, we are confident to exceed the original income target of the bank for the year," said PSBank executive vice president Jose Vicente Alde.
While the bank boosted its earning assets, it kept good quality of earnings assets in its books. The ratio of net non-performing loans stood at only 0.4 percent. PSBank has also set aside P609 million as provisions for the first quarter, thus increasing loan coverage to 102 percent.
PSBank's equity rose by 27 percent to P18.7 billion. This translated to a higher capital adequacy ratio to risk assets of 18.6 percent, well above the 10-percent minimum required level for local banks.
The bank's distribution network includes 222 branches and 537 onsite and offsite ATMs all over the country.

SYPRO stained gel of co-immunoprecipitated proteins in extracts from HT1080 cells transiently transfected with either of DDIT3-GFP, FUS-DDIT3-GFP or GFP constructs. CDK2 antibodies were used for immunoprecipitations. Boxes indicate regions of the gel analyzed by mass spectrometry. Three proteins were enriched in immunoprecipitates from DDIT3 and FUS-DDIT3 expressing cells (region 1: plectin, region 2: myosin, region 3: vimentin). Arrows indicate the differentially immunoprecipitated vimentin bands present in lanes of DDIT3 and FUS-DDIT3 cells but absent in that of GFP cells. These bands migrate slightly slower than the thicker bands inside the same region. The thicker bands were identified as rabbit heavy chain immunoglobulin molecules and these originate from the antibodies used for immunoprecipitation of CDK2 and are present in all three lanes.

Original Cologne by Creed
I really like this. Didn't expect to. A delightful, clean, fresh smelling cologne. Insipid? For me, not insipid at all. Your insipid mileage may vary as they say. Wearing this to me is smelling like you used an excellent soap. Expensive soap smell? Duh yeah.... And you're gonna wanna buy a big big bottle, maybe like a magnum. You're gonna need to throw some fuel in the firebox to get this engine up to speed.

Just as much as loved ones are being used as puppets in A's game against the Liars, they're being used as puppets against us.
This episode was by no means perfect, but its display of consequences, small bit of humor, and setting of the table for a schism at least provide a faint glimmer of hope.
Spencer has seen that there's more to the mystery than the identity of a bully. There's something bigger and fiercer than texts and blackmail.
There were a lot of times in "Let Me Go" where law enforcement seemed more like a band of vigilantes rather than well-trained and organized professionals.
"Out of Sight, Out of Mind" tried my patience on more than one occasion, but the game is set up for what should be a more rewarding end to the season.
"Next!" might've been the quintessential episode of Bunheads.
Seriously, how can these agents/police constantly let people get away?
Everything about Leslie and Ben's nuptials was winsome and sweet, choreographed to manipulate your invested senses.
While "Hot Water" left us hanging with Spencer's development, we're sliding more pieces into place for a fast-approaching finale.
This is one of those weeks where I feel like Joey is the smartest person on this show. He's just hampered by being a small child.
Andy wouldn't be such a monster if everyone in the office wasn't so complicit to his tyranny.
How Spencer continues to be the best, I don't know. But the rest of the Liars really helped her out this week by lowering the bar of excellence.
It's almost like The Following is aware that this is the point where we decide whether to keep watching or delete the series recording from our DVRs.
He's baaaaaaaack. And he's the living worst.
At this point, what are you hoping to see happen by the time the series finale rolls around?

The C# Ecosystem is a Set of Plugins
The C# Ecosystem offers the following plugins:
- Mandatory plugins:
- .NET Core: defines API used by every other plugin of the ecosystem.
- C# Core: parses C# code source, computes metrics, detects duplications, etc.
- Optional plugins adding features from external tools:
- .NET FxCop: runs FxCop to detect issues related to potential bugs, tight coupling, globalization, etc.
- .NET Gendarme: runs Gendarme to detect issues related to coding bad practices, smell detection, performance, etc.
- .NET Gallio: runs Gallio to execute unit/integration tests as well as code coverage tool (PartCover or OpenCover or NCover or ...).
- .NET NDeps: runs a dependency parser tool, built on Mono Cecil, to get dependency data between assemblies and classes.
- C# StyleCop: runs StyleCop to detect issues mainly related to coding style (formatting, comments, ...).
Installing the C# Ecosystem
- Install the .NET and C# plugins from the Update Center or download them into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the SonarQube server
Installing the .Net SDK and Silverlight framework

Dungeon Layout Contest - The semifinals
- LE-Lore
- 98
Hey everyone,
Finally, the semi-finals for the dungeon layout contest have started! Our team has discussed all your contributions thoroughly, and it was really hard for us to pick the nine finalists you can see below.
All of you who participated have put so much effort in this, and you had such great ideas! So again, thank you to all who put their time and energy in this. You did all very well, and it's great to work on a game that has such dedicated fans. :)
Some of you have been really motivated and even sent us detailed story and dialogs for the dungeons. While we'll try to stay as close as possible to your idea and vision, please keep in mind we'll certainly have to rewrite and adapt your texts so they fit the general tone, style and setting of Might & Magic X - Legacy. That said, kudos for your enthusiasm :)
To cut a long story short, below you can see the semi-finalists. We need your help now, picking the three you think are the best. That means, you have up to three votes, but if you think only one of the contributions is worthy, feel free to name only one (or two, if you think two are good).
Some contributors have published notes together with their dungeon layouts, they're linked beneath the respective pictures. By the way, this vote looks a little different from the others here on the blog because we wanted you to be able to pick three out of nine. For technical reasons, this wouldn't be possible at the moment with our normal vote system.
Big apologies to you, Comptonclayton, for forgetting to post your second level! Everyone else please check his contribution again, it's twice as big as it seemed in the first place. My bad!
Also, what I sloppily described as "swimming pool" in Stormhelico's contribution is in fact an underground lake. Sorry, Stormhelico, I didn't mean to mislead anyone.
Another issue is that some of the notes can't be viewed completely in the screenshots. Some of you posted theirs already in the comments, thank you for that! Here you can see a complete compilation of all the notes from the nine semifinalists.
The vote will end next Sunday at 23:59 GMT +2. The three winners will compete in the finals, which will start on Monday.
1. Askebar
Caracol777s contribution consists of two levels: surface and underground. In order to reach the underground level, the party has to walk through the upper level first. And there's a little river running through the dungeon!
2. Ruins of Enshammon
Comptonclayton's contribution has lots of traps, monsters and treasures! Edit: And it has a basement, too!
3. Riankar
Franburns has created two levels and a lot of background story and even written some dialogs. (You can see them here and here if you like.)
4. Royal Labyrinth
Shukfirs dungeon layout features a huge labyrinth that has two levels. Nifty! (And here are his notes.)
5. Frozen & Shade
Piotrrnext has planned lots of switches, teleports, riddles … yay! (Here's some additional info.)
6. Crow's Fortress
Sandro's contribution consists of an entry decorated as a mountaineaous region populated by crows, and presents us a dungeon filled with surprises. Want to know more? Here are his notes.
7. Tomb of Mad Love
Archwarlock's Tomb of Mad Love fits the dungeon's story perfectly!
8. Ruins of Ukhaju
StormHelico's contribution consists of two levels and features a nice spacious swimming pool in the basement.
9. Unnamed Dungeon
Forgottenlor's dungeon has a large array of switches and lots of traps. This could get interesting!
So, which one do you like best? Please let us know in the comments. For the minimalists among us: just write down the dungeon number. However, if you like to elaborate on your decision, please feel free do so. And remember: you can pick up to three dungeon layouts!
(Reminder: this contest is only related to one special dungeon within the game, not the game as a whole. There are more than twenty other dungeons waiting for you in MMX!)

Banner change
I really like the new InnnoVision banner. That was actually the first thing I noticed when I opened my browser. The last one was getting very old, and I was kind of sick of looking at it. I think we should have more banner changes...adds more flavor IMO :D
lol, yea I just noticed that earlier today. Nothing wrong wit a 'lil banner variety :p
I like it too!
Wow, first post outside of "Linux and nVidia". Feels ... strange... ;)
While I too liked this change the first time, there is something I'd like to add about the current ad (the one sourced at images/advertising/banner_nvnews.swf).
Some of us don't have Flash enabled, because it makes a lot of other pages that we visit load quite a bit more slowly. So we disable the plugin by not having a .so file in the Mozilla plugins directory.
However, this causes Mozilla to pop up a dialog every time it tries to load a .swf file, asking if I want to download the plugin. I don't, but I don't know how to tell it that. :o None of this would be a problem if it didn't just keep asking, every time I loaded a page on this site.
Anyway, would there be any possibility of reverting the banner to just an image (perhaps even an image of what the current ad is)? Or if not because you've agreed to keep it up for a certain length of time, how long will the Flash version be there?
I'd understand if you don't want to change it, but I'll have to figure out a way to bypass the plugin check if you won't, and I figured I'd see if you would revert it before I looked into that.
In any case, thanks.

Le Réveil de Flore
|Ballets and revivals of Marius Petipa
*Paquita (1847, *1881)
Le Réveil de Flore (en. The Awakening of Flora), (ru. «Пробуждение Флоры», Probuzhdenie Flory) is a ballet anacréontique in one act, with choreography by Marius Petipa and music by Riccardo Drigo, to a libretto written by Petipa and Lev Ivanov.[1]
First presented by the Imperial Ballet at Peterhof Palace on 6 August [O.S. 25 July] 1894, the ballet was originally produced for the Imperial Russian Court in honor of the wedding of the Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna to the Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich.[2] The work was transferred to the stage of the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre where it was first performed on 20 January [O.S. 2 January] 1895.[1] This performance took place during a farewell benefit for the ballerina Maria Anderson, who had been forced into early retirement after sustaining burn injuries in a theatre fire.[3]
|St Petersburg 1894
|Flora, the Goddess of the Spring
|Mathilde Kschessinskaya
|Diana, the Goddess of the Moon
|Olga Leonova
|Aquilon, the God of the North Wind
|Alexander Gorsky
|Aurora, the Goddess of the Dawn
|Anna Johansson
|Apollo, the God of the Sun
|Pavel Gerdt
|Zephyr, the God of the West Wind
|Nikolai Legat
|Cupid, the God of Love
|Vera Trefilova
|Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods
|Sergei Legat
|Hebe, the Goddess of Youth
|Claudia Kulichevskaya
Drigo's score was issued in piano reduction by the music publisher Zimmerman in 1914.
The choreography for Le Réveil de Flore was originally credited as a joint effort between Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in the original printed theatre programmes.[2] A review in the St. Petersburg Gazette of the first dress rehearsal also credited the choreography to both Petipa and Ivanov. In light of this, Marius Petipa wrote a letter of correction to the newspaper, stating that: "In no. 201 of your much respected newspaper, a not fully accurate communication was reported about the production of the ballet "Le Réveil de Flore". The programme of the ballet was created by L. I. Ivanov and me together, (but) the production of the dances and the mise-en-scène belong exclusively to me; Mr. L. I. Ivanov had no part in them."[1]
The ballet was given its final performance in 1919.[1]

- interpolation: Pizzicato d'Hébé (added after the 1894 premiere)
- interpolation: Variation d'Aurore (added after the 1894 premiere)
Taken from the original published piano score of 1894.[4]
Tableau 1 — It is night. Flora, the goddess of Spring, is deep asleep with her nymphs; Diana, the goddess of Moon, guards their peace. With the approach of dawn, a freshness is felt in the air. Diana hides in the clouds.
Tableau 2 — Aquilon, the northern wind, rushes stormily over the locale; his cold breath of wind awakens Flora and forces her to seek refuge in the foliage. The appearance of chilling dew brings Flora to despair, and she implores Aurora, the goddess of the dawn, to help them.
Tableau 3 — Aurora consoles Flora with tender caresses and announces that Apollo, the god of day, who will end their sufferings, is following behind her. Aurora, Flora, and her nymphs perform a waltz.
Tableau 4 — With the appearance of resplendent Apollo, everything becomes animated. Smitten with the beauty of Flora, Apollo kisses her. At his call, Zephyr, the god of the gentle west wind, flies to his beloved Flora's embrace. He is followed by Cupid and her little amours. "You must be his helpmate," Apollo tells her, "It is the will of the gods." Everyone is delighted; Cupid, amours, and nymphs rejoice over the lover's happiness. A classical Pas d'action is performed.
Tableau 5 — Mercury, messenger of the gods, announces Hebé, the goddess of youth, and Ganymede, cupbearer to the gods. They present Flora and Zephyr a cup of nectar and proclaim that Jupiter has given them eternal youth.
Tableau 6 — A procession. The chariot of Bacchus and Ariadne is accompanied by bacchantes, satyrs, fauns, sylvans, and others. A Grand pas is performed by all assembled, followed by a rousing finale.
Apotheosis — Olympus is revealed; Jupiter appears, Juno, Neptune, Vulcan, Minerva, Ceres, Mars, Pluto, Proserpina, Venus, and others.
- The libretto for this ballet contains several mythological inaccuracies because three of the characters are inaccurately credited, though it seems neither Petipa, Ivanov or Drigo were aware of this. Contrary to popular belief, Apollo and Diana were not the god and goddess of the sun and moon; the Roman god of the sun and rider of the sun chariot was Sol and the Roman goddess of the moon was his sister, Luna. The libretto also credits the god of the west wind as Zephyr, but the Roman god of the west wind was actually Favionus; Zephyrus was his Greek counterpart.
2007 Reconstruction[edit]
In 2007, the Mariinsky Ballet presented a reconstruction of the original 1894 production. The choreographic revival and reconstruction was supervised by Sergei Vikharev, with Pavel Bubelnikov, Lyudmila Sveshnikova and Elena Belyaeva restoring Drigo's score. Vikharev restored Marius Petipa's choreography from the Stepanov Choreographic Notation of the Sergeyev Collection. The production was first presented at the Mariinsky Theatre during the VIIth International Ballet Festival on 12 April 2007 at the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg.
The principal dancers were Evgenia Obraztsova as the Goddess Flora, Xenia Ostreikovskaya as the Goddess Aurora, Svetland Ivanova as the Goddess Diana, Vladimir Shklyarov as the God Zephyr, Maxim Chaschegorov as the God Apollo, Valeria Martynyuk as the God Cupid, Alexei Timofeyev as the God Mercury and Daria Sukhorukova as the Goddess Hebé.[5]
Sergei Vikharev told the St. Petersburg Times that the ballet was "... like an ornate Faberge egg. The concentration of solo dancing for the role of Flora is enormous and there would be enough to stretch it into a two- or three-act work." [6]

NBI exec admits sending agents to Kiram's home
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines–An official of the National Bureau of Investigation admitted sending its agents to the house of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III.
NBI Deputy Director for Intelligence Services Reynaldo Esmeralda said it was a legitimate operation allowed by his office and that of Deputy Director Ruel Lasala on Special Investigation Services.
"The task of our people was to monitor the premises of the Kiram family," Esmeralda said.
When asked why the agents posed as member of the media, he said "if there is difficulty of getting inside the Kiram residence, they will ask the help of the members of the media na kaibigan namin (who are our friends)."
Esmeralda said they were introduced to Mrs. Kiram by TV5 reporter Carla Lim as NBI agents
"They were entertained by Mrs. Kiram. They were even given refreshments," he said.
In getting information, Esmeralda explained that they either do covert or open operations or a combination of both.
"Here, they only want to blend in with the crowd but they were introduced by Carla Lim as NBI agents. There was a misunderstanding on that aspect. That was the fault on the part of our agents. After they were introduced as NBI agents, they should have given the Kirams their calling card or ID," he said.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Becoming Mary Mehan (Readers Circle)'
Jennifer Armstrongs two masterful novels about Mary Mehan are now together in one volume. Set against the pivotal events of the American Civil War, The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan depicts an Irish immigrant girl and her family, struggling to find their place in a country at war with itself. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews said, Armstrong mixes vision and reality with breathtaking virtuosity, salting Mairhes narrative with poetic turns of phrase, snatches of song, story, and history.
Mary Mehan Awake takes up Marys story after the war when, much like the broken country, Mary must begin a journey of emotional and physical renewal. Of this book, The Horn Book Magazine said, The story unfolds effortlessly and richly. Its The Secret Garden for an older audience, with friendship and nature gratifyingly providing healing and wholeness.
This new Readers Circle edition includes an interview with the author discussing her ideas about how history is remembered and recorded, and the obligations and opportunities of the historical novelist.

The 20th century brought seeds of change, global nightmares, years of doubt, and machine dreams. These are also some of the chapter headings of this stunning tribute to the past 100 years. Adapting the bestselling adult version of The Century, journalists Peter Jennings and Todd Brewster take an unusual approach to the overwhelming task of capturing a century in 241 pages. Rather than using a standard didactic, textbook-style method, the authors choose to focus on the lives of ordinary people--those who influenced, and were most affected by, the radical changes of the 1900s. Marty Glickman describes the effect Teddy Roosevelt had on him as a boy. Gilda Snow's father, an electrician for the 1939 New York World's Fair, took her on a "backstage" tour of the event when she was 9 years old. Inez Jessie Baskin experienced the Montgomery bus boycotts firsthand. Stacy Horn, creator of an Internet virtual community, muses on the phenomenon of online relationships. Each sumptuous spread comes alive with Life magazine-style photos (over 200 total), compelling captions, feature essays on historical events and people, and pale blue sidebars with the stories of ordinary men and women of the century. With a new introduction aimed at young readers, and a higher personal story to narrative ratio than the full-length version, this magnificent volume belongs in any family's collection.

They are not alone.
After most of the world's population was wiped out by a deadly plague five years ago, this small group of children formed a family. They've taken care of each other, scavenging food from deserted supermarkets, fighting off the wild animals that prowl soccer fields and schools. The children thought they were the only ones left.
Then they came across the Keepers, the first Grown-ups they'd seen for years, living in an abandoned shopping mall. The Keepers offered fresh food, clean beds, and security. But what looked like safety was instead the worst danger the family had yet faced.
Now the family is once again on the road. But if they want to reach the end of their journey, if they want to solve the mystery of what happened and who is to blame, they must head straight into danger -- to Pisgah, the heart of the Keepers' power.
In this stunning conclusion to the Fire-us Trilogy, Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher return to the post-apocalyptic world they created in The Kindling and The Keepers of the Flame, as the family discovers the dark secret that changed their world forever.

In these "twelve brushes with religion" written by leading young-adult authors, teens from a wide range of beliefs search for answers to the hard questions of faith at crucial points in their lives. Braving the long-held taboo in teen fiction against spiritual inquiry, I Believe in Water approaches God from surprising angles. Virginia Euwer Wolff shows us three different girls confronting unwanted pregnancies, praying in the contexts of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. Jacqueline Woodson shares a glimpse of her own childhood as a Jehovah's Witness, while Joyce Carol Thomas takes us into the shivery practice of religious snake handling. Gregory Maguire contributes an affecting story about a boy's return to Catholicism, while Jennifer Armstrong plays sainthood for laughs. Marilyn Singer finds answers on the edges of Judaism. In Kyoko Mori's fine story, a young Japanese woman surrenders her life to fate, and, in what is perhaps the most exotic piece in the book, Jess Mowry weaves a tale about a chubby voodoo child-deity. Other very different stories by M.E. Kerr, Naomi Shihab Nye, Nancy Springer, and Margaret Peterson Haddix make this an audacious, unforgettable collection that will reach out to teens pondering spiritual realities in their own lives. For another excellent selection of short stories that address teens and religion, don't miss Sandy Asher's With All My Heart, with All My Mind: Thirteen Stories About Growing Up Jewish.

Age range: 11 and over
Irene Gut Opdyke was just 17 when the Nazis invaded her native Poland. From that moment she was wrenched away from her family and forced --literally--to run for her life. Eventually, while bearing witness to and falling victim to the brutality of war, she was forced to work as housekeeper to a Nazi officer. It was there that she took her life in her hands and committed the most audacious of acts in the name of humanity: she hid 12 Jewish people in the basement of her Nazi employer's house.
In In My Hands Irene recounts her extraordinary history, leaving no stone unturned as she takes the reader through time from the moment of Nazi invasion to her eventual departure for America. But the most remarkable thing about this book is the matter-of-fact tone in which it is written, which somehow allows readers to observe the events of Irene's life without forcing them to wallow in any kind of sentimentality. And although there is no doubt as to how Irene thought, felt and reacted, readers are required only to observe and draw their own conclusions.
This is by no means an easy read: the effects of war on the lives of ordinary people are surfaced to the point where it is impossible to not feel pain, and although it is ultimately a story of hope and inspiration, the spoils of the human condition are laid bare in a no-holds-barred manner that sometimes takes the breath away.
Jennifer Armstrong, who interpreted Irene's story to form the narrative of In My Hands says: "I was afraid to write this book, to put my self into her past." Irene's past is indeed frightening, and being forced to confront evil in this way is certainly uncomfortable. But if nothing else, it serves as a reminder that there are some things we should never, ever forget. --Susan Harrison

Cory put her hands to her face. She was covered with layers of gauze, and she tore at it, layer after layer shedding in her hands as she hurried onward.
The rocks in the path were bones and grinning skulls. This was what she had been stumbling over, and what her dress had been catching on. Panicked, she looked up.
Five years after a deadly plague killed all the Grown-ups, the world's population has nearly vanished. Civilization is gone, and the children who outlived their parents have mostly perished of hunger or disease. But ten children survived, and have forged a new family, a new life, and together traveled up the coast of Florida, searching for answers.
To their shock, they've found a group of adults, the only Grown-ups they've seen for years, living in an abandoned shopping mall. The Grown-ups seem delighted to see the children, and welcome them to the brave new world they've made for themselves -- a place with comforts the family had forgotten: cupcakes, clean clothes, adults to depend on.
But something is terribly wrong. This friendly community is not what it appears. Can they find out the truth -- before it's too late?
In this second book of the Fire-us Trilogy, Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher return to the post-apocalyptic world they created in The Kindling, as the family searches for the dark truth at the heart of the Fire-us.

It is the year 2007.
The world has been wiped out by a deadly plague that killed all the adults. Without them, children perished of hunger and disease. No more people, no more electricity, no more civilization -- just mildewed houses, overgrown yards, and abandoned cars. Yet on a highway strip outside a small town in Florida, the words "We're Still Here" are painted in letters big enough to be seen from an airplane -- although no planes ever cross the empty sky.
Miraculously, seven children have survived among the ruins. They cannot remember their names, their families, or much else from the Before Time. But they have forged a new family, with new names: Mommy, Hunter, Teacher, Action Figure, Teddy Bear, Baby, and Doll.
They must face each day with enough hope to endure and the strength to realize that there may be nothing out there worth living for. Then one day, a new kid shows up on their doorstep and changes everything. He invites them to join him on a dangerous journey to Washington, to find a man called President if he's still alive -- and seek the answers to the mystery at the heart of the Fire-us.
In this first book of the Fire-us Trilogy, Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher weave a compelling post-apocalyptic tale, luring readers into a world that is inventive enough to intrigue, yet true enough to believe.

The somber, hard-working people of an isolated town on the plains ply through life in the drabbest of gray clothes--until, in the linings of their pockets, they begin to discover lavishly embroidered pictures of far-away places, sewn there by a mysterious young woman who has recently arrived and taken up work as the town's seamstress. Exploring these stitched visions--of proud ships and sparkling oceans, of golden towers and distant cities, of buccaneers, sea serpents, and gold--the austere townspeople find themselves transformed. A husband and wife suddenly fall in love again, brightly colored flags appear on rooftops, houses are painted in azure and crimson, dances are held...
Pockets is Jennifer Armstrong's tale of people made new by their imaginations, and of the mysterious young seamstress who brings this about. Her luxurious storytelling is equaled by the rich palette and exuberance of Mary GrandPré's illustrations.

The harrowing survival story of English explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the ill-fated Endurance has intrigued people since the 1914 expedition--spurring astounding books such as Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage and The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition. As Shackleton and 27 sailors attempted to cross the frozen Antarctic continent from one side to the other, they were trapped in an ice pack, lost their ship to the icy depths, survived an Antarctic winter, escaped attacks from sea lions, and traversed 600 treacherous miles to the uninhabited Elephant Island. Leaving 22 men behind, Shackleton and five others sailed 800 miles across the southern Atlantic Ocean in a 20-foot open boat to tiny South George Island, where they hiked across unmapped mountains to a whaling station. In 1916, 19 months after the Endurance became icebound, Shackleton led a rescue party back to retrieve his men. Remarkably, every crew member survived.
Jennifer Armstrong, the award-winning author of Black-Eyed Susan and The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan, brings the unbelievable journey to life with delicious details: how a handsome young stowaway was discovered too late to cast him off; how the ship itself would become frost-white, looking like "another species of sparkling white iceberg as it nosed its way through the pack;" and how the ice-pack-dwelling Emperor penguins seemed to enjoy the banjo music of crew member Leonard Hussey. The true-to-life story is as thrilling as they come, and Armstrong's lively, crystal-clear writing style is just as compelling. More than 40 photographs of the expedition populate this inspiring nonfiction adventure story that young readers will devour from cover to cover. (Ages 10 to 14) --Karin Snelson

In August 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set out from England in an attempt to lead the first expedition across the Antarctic continent. What followed was one of the most extraordinary survival stories in history: a ship trapped and then wrecked by ice; an expedition marooned, first on the constantly shifting Antarctic pack, then on a remote, uninhabited island; a daring open boat journey across the world's most violent ocean; a trek over unmapped mountains; and finally an amazing rescue.
Jennifer Armstrong's Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World received widespread praise and won the Orbis Pictus Award. Now she tells the Endurance story for a younger audience, in an oversize format with color paintings re-creating the detail and drama of the expedition's ordeal.

It will reveal, for the first time ever, the untold stories of Annette, Darlene, Cubby and Karen, Bobbie and the rest of the beloved cast. It will explore, through the reminiscences of former fans who grew up to be some of television's finest minds, what made the show so special. And it will examine why the formula the creators of the show invented is more relevant than ever, and whether we'll ever see yet another Club for a new generation.

Background/Aims: Differences in the clinical presentation of men and women with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are of potential interest for investigations into the neurobiology, genetics, natural history, and treatment response of BPD. The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in axis I and axis II comorbidity and in diagnostic criteria in BPD patients. Methods: 110 women and 49 men with BPD were assessed with the computer-based version of the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders. Gender differences were investigated for the following outcomes: (a) lifetime, 12-month and 4-week prevalence of axis I disorders; (b) axis II disorders, and (c) DSM-IV BPD diagnostic criteria. Results: With regard to lifetime prevalence of axis I disorders, men more often displayed a substance use disorder, in particular alcohol dependency (65 vs. 43%); on the other hand, women more frequently had an affective (94 vs. 82%), anxiety (92 vs. 80%) or eating disorder (35 vs. 18%), in particular anorexia nervosa (21 vs. 4%). Regarding the 12-month prevalence, we found significantly more women suffering from anorexia nervosa (13 vs. 0%). Considering the 4-week prevalence, there were no significant gender differences. With regard to axis II disorders, men had a higher frequency of antisocial personality disorder (57 vs. 26%). Regarding the BPD diagnostic criteria, men more often displayed 'intensive anger' (74 vs. 49%), whereas women more frequently showed 'affective instability' (94 vs. 82%). Conclusion: In this German study, we could replicate and extend the findings from previous US studies, where men and women with BPD showed important differences in their pattern of psychiatric comorbidity. The implications for clinicians and researchers are discussed.

As part of a new monthly series curated by Fine Line booker and Book of Right On frontman David Joe Holiday, this series (for which the full title is "Who You Calling a Bitch?: A Fearless Female Function") will cull from the vast pool of talented female musicians, artists, and business owners in the Twin Cities, starting with this kickoff featuring headliner Desdamona. With a sick new single, "The Comeback," under her belt, Desdamona should get this series off to the right start—in addition to organizing the annual B-Girl Be festival, which celebrates and empowers female hip-hop artists, Desdamona is in the midst of an impressive series of posts on her blog called "365 Days of Female MCs," which will profile a few hundred different badass female rappers. She's already up to 157, and she's just getting warmed up. The first installment of the Fearless Female Function will also feature R&B singer Alicia Steele and her band the Endeavors, plus powerhouse jazz vocalist Rookai. 21+. $4. 7 p.m. 318 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.338.8100. —Andrea Swensson

Bands can seem like celebrity couples sometimes: Most don't stay together very long. That's not so for Seattle band Minus the Bear, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary. In honor of this feat, the band will be integrating a performance of their 2002 debut album, Highly Refined Pirates, in its entirety into their set on this tour. Thrown in the mix are pieces from their most recent release, OMNI, which singer/guitarist Jake Snider professes is "a real leap forward. It's an impactful sounding record." Guitarist Dave Knudson adds, "One of the things we wanted to do was capture more of the live energy. We feel like the live show is really where you get to see what we're doing"—and the live show is where the band shines. Opening will be the Velvet Teen.

Contending with the monumental legacy of his late father apparently hasn't been an enduring issue for eldest son Ziggy Marley, who has embraced roots reggae while occasionally incorporating pop, rock, and hip-hop elements. For a couple of decades, Ziggy led his family band, the Melody Makers, to popular and critical acclaim (particularly 1988's Conscious Party), then recently issuing a series of solo albums. His new Wild and Free is not only predominantly roots reggae, it also taps Ziggy's hereditary activist streak, addressing broad social and political justice issues. The title track very specifically calls for the legalization of marijuana, written in support of last year's failed California Proposition 19 with famed pot advocate Woody Harrelson, who makes a cameo on the song. Weed aside, Ziggy and vet producer Don Was have come up with an album that spliffs the difference between reggae's engaging classic hitch and Ziggy's contemporary identity. With Leon Mobley. 18+. $25. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.338.8388. —Rick Mason

Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Luang Prabang is one of those destinations where you hardly need an extraordinary hotel to have an extraordinary experience — which makes the fact that there are several of them feel almost gratuitous. Not that we're complaining. In the case of the Hotel de la Paix it means a rare conjunction of historical architecture and modern design, and a chance to inhabit an ancient place in an atmosphere of the utmost contemporary luxury.
The architect, Duangrit Bunnag, is responsible for some very fine modernist beach hotels in Thailand, and here he's wedded a handful of original French Colonial structures (including the old governor's mansion) to a number of new buildings, heavily influenced in turn by traditional Lao architecture. The result is a strangely timeless blend, especially in the guest suites, which feel not just sequestered in space but somehow lost in time as well.
Only some of them come with private pools, but all are indulgent in their own way, with private gardens and spa-like bathrooms. Of course there's a proper spa as well, for when "spa-like" isn't quite enough, and a main pool for a more serious approach to swimming. Add a fine restaurant and lounge, as well as a cooking school, and the culinary angle is more than covered — especially when you add the restaurants at 3 Nagas, the sister hotel, just a few minutes down the road.
How to get there:
Hotel de la Paix is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the central area of town and a 15-minute drive from the Luang Prabang Airport. Please contact email@example.com for assistance with airport transfers.

What I liked:
I liked the setting of this hotel and the design potential of being a former prison.
What the hotel could do better:
The staff are friendly & well meaning but either due to ability or training, aren't necessarily up to the usual standard of a Tablet Hotel recommendation....
There's probably a good reason why the hotel's staff are allowed to wear their own jackets,shoes and socks which whilst characterful, unfortunately though,this perpetuates(together with the service) the sense that this is more of a homestay style accommodation than a 5star hotel....which at the right price is perfectly fine.

What I liked:
The hotel was amazing. Truly one of the best I have stayed in the world, and I have been to over 50 countries. The food was outstanding, the room lovely, the bed so comfy, and the service perfect. But what was very special was property itself. The layout makes it feel huge and yet intimate at the same time. The place is magnificient. It was as nice as the Aman resort down the road but 1/5th the cost.
What the hotel could do better:

NEW YORK: Malaysia is focusing on developing cruise tourism and yachting to attract high-end tourists from the United States, Canada and Europe, said Tourism Minister Dr Leo Michael Toyad.
He said cruise liners plying the Caribbean and the Mediterranean would have a "new playground" in the South-East Asian region, with routes beginning in the Andaman Sea and stopovers in Phuket and Langkawi.
They would pass through the Straits of Malacca, Java and around Borneo Island before ending in Manila Bay,
"We have been working with some local tour agents and foreign passenger companies to bring cruise liners to our ports. To date, many major cruise liners have called on Port Klang, Penang, Langkawi, Kuantan and Kota Kinabalu," he said.
The number of local yacht owners had been increasing every year and there were now 14 marinas and yacht clubs in Malaysia with international class facilities, he added.
Dr Toyad is leading a mission to Canada and the United States, covering Vancouver, New York and Los Angeles, to promote Malaysia as a premier tourist destination.
The delegation also aimed to establish a wider network of contacts in the US and Canadian tourism industries.
"This mission is just the beginning of our concentrated efforts to educate travellers about what Malaysia has to offer," Dr Toyad said.
"One of the programmes the country is promoting is the 'Malaysia My Second Home' that allows foreigners to stay in Malaysia for at least five years or more on a social visit pass and a multiple–entry visa."
He said the Government had also relaxed the requirement for applicants to purchase landed property in Malaysia.
The Immigration Department had, to date, approved 172 applications from the United States.
For this year until April, 22 applications by Americans were approved.

Comments about Two Level Sliding Shelf:
Design flaw. The baskets don't fit between the uprights. In fact, looking at the picture closely I can see that the item I received doesn't match. I am not returning for refund because I don't have time to mess with finding a box the right size & paying for the return for a miniscule refund.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Midrange Shopper
Great idea. The shelf does not stop when pulled out, and things do tip. I will make use of the two I purchased, but I will not buy them again.Ordered them for FL. Mistakenly sent to our NC address, and I refused delivery of that package, because of the additional shipping costs (or whatever). This order arrived the following day. What confusion!!!

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
How many channels do you watch?
As if another reason was needed, a report cited in The Wall Street Journal makes the case for unbundling pay-TV channels.
The report by the A.C. Nielsen ratings company says that Americans receive 189 channels, up 60 channels from six years earlier.
But the number of channels viewers actually watch is just 17.5, up 0.2 channels.
How many channels do you actually watch?
A quick survey of my TV diet is thus:
All four local network affiliates; MeTV (watched "Leave it to Beaver" this morning); ESPN and its subsidiaries (which I will count as one); FX ("Fargo," "Louie"); WMVS-TV (Channel 10); HBO; Bravo ("Top Chef"); Comedy Central (Stewart and Colbert); AMC ("Mad Men," "The Walking Dead" ); IFC ("Maron," "Portlandia"); and Fox Sports (for Milwaukee Brewers games).
I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
That adds up to 13, well under the national average.
Toss in my wife's viewing of Lifetime, Hallmark and TV Land, and I'm still one under par.

Is it just me, but are the "We're better than the Cardinals", or the "Reds will win the division by X number of games", threads getting a bit old? I've been following the Reds, like many here, for an awfully long time, and I am thoroughly enjoying this season with a bit of temperance, and knowledge that St. Louis has done extremely well over the past 10 years, and the Reds, not so.
To see threads, professing that the Cardinals are not that good, is a bit unnerving. And IMO, not befitting of a poster that has been welcomed into the elite, ORG.
As I see it, such thread titles, are pure shock value, and serve little purpose otherwise.
Today, there are predictions by which how many games the Reds will win the Central. Wasn't anything learned here by the Cardinals last visit into Cincy? Perhaps members with penchants to create such absurd threads (in the ORG especially), might consider getting back to analyzing things without making predictions loaded with such shock value. To me, it's borderline trash talk, and reminiscent of late '90's, AOL baseball chat/thread forums.

TORONTO, ON - DECEMBER 21: Ian White #7 of the Toronto Maple Leafs gets set to make a pass in a game against the Buffalo Sabres on December 21, 2009 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The Sabres defeated the Leafs 3-2 in overtime. (Photo by Claus Andersen/Getty Images)
DETROIT (AP) -- Ian White lunged headfirst across the crease, trying desperately to protect Detroit's one-goal lead in the third period. As the defenseman slid in front of the net, Dallas' Jamie Benn flipped the puck toward the goal. It hit White in the face and stayed out. "He took one for the team, that's for sure," Detroit defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said. "I think he saved a goal there." After White's big defensive play, the Red Wings added two insurance goals and went on to a 5-2 victory over the Stars. Johan Franzen, Darren Helm and Brad Stuart all scored in the third period for Detroit. White also had a goal in the second. The Red Wings have won four straight, part of a streaky start to their season. They won their first five games before an 0-5-1 stretch preceded this run. "We have a lot of talent in here," Lidstrom said. "I think we believed in ourselves when we hit that slump, but now, we're shooting the puck and we're getting traffic, too. That's something we talked ...

Mayer Twersky
Mayer E. Twersky (born October 17, 1960) is an Orthodox rabbi and one of the roshei yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) of Yeshiva University. He holds the Leib Merkin Distinguished Professorial Chair in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy.[1] His popular lectures emphasize a combination of penetrating conceptual analyses and deep ethical imperatives.
Twersky hails from the well-known chassidic family of Chernobyl. He is the younger son of Isadore Twersky. His brother, Moshe Twersky, was murdered in the 2014 Jerusalem synagogue massacre. He is a 5th cousin of Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski. Other cousins include the Grand Rabbis of Chernobyl, and many people with the last name of Twersky or Twerski. He is also a grandson of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik.
Twersky attended the Maimonides School, which his grandfather founded,[2] through high school. He then attended Harvard College, while studying Talmud privately with his grandfather. Following college, he studied for rabbinic ordination at RIETS. He eventually became a teacher in the Yeshiva University High School for Boys and later a lecturer in RIETS.
In addition to Hebrew articles in RIETS's annual Torah journal, Twersky has published three English articles in the journal Tradition[3][4][5] and an English article in the Orthodox Union's magazine Jewish Action.[6] Two of these four articles relate to the place of women in contemporary Orthodox Judaism.[5][6]
Twersky currently holds the position of Grand Rabbi of the Talne hasidim. The current shamash of the Rebbe is Meir Zev Steinmetz of Woodmere, New York. Steinmetz spent a significant amount of time studying in Yeshivat Hakotel (located in Jerusalem, Israel) before coming to Yeshiva University to serve as the Rebbe's shamash. Past Shamashim include Etan Schnall, Yitzi Genack and Yosef Shwartz.
Twersky is currently on the board of TorahWeb,[7] which frequently publishes short English articles of his.[8] He also lectures frequently to synagogue congregants.
