Film Review: Waltz With Bashir
12:49 AM — It seems that the old idea that cartoons are for kids has finally been shattered. Hot on the heels of the stylized black and white animated exploration of the Iranian Revolution that was last year's multiple award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Persepolis comes another intriguing, award-winning take on another aspect of recent Middle Eastern history that's largely unknown outside the region. And as with Persepolis, the animated approach may be unusual, but it is also an ideal way of increasing the accessibility of a subject that would, were it dealt with in more traditional forms, almost certainly turn many of us off before we even considered going to see it. Were this – or Persepolis – a documentary, few would have paid much attention. The gimmick of animation, especially animation done well, has worked a treat in expanding the potential audience.
Film Review: The Baader-Meinhof Complex
12:44 AM — If you've been reading the papers over the last few years you could be forgiven for thinking that we're in the midst of an unprecedented surge of terrorist activity. Every day, the press is full of tales of bomb plots and terror threats. Government announcements constantly inform us of the need for new laws and new powers to deal with a rising tide of violent extremism. Yet if you consider the number of successful terrorist atrocities that have been carried out in the West since the turn of the millennium, though the scale of attacks like those of 9/11, 7/7 and Madrid may have increased, the number has dropped significantly.
Film Review: W.
12:29 AM — In the run-up to what was already being touted as the most significant presidential election in years before the recent global financial upheavals that have added so many extra concerns to the race, it is perhaps unsurprising that Hollywood has tried to cash in on the massive political interest that has surrounded the vote. What is surprising is that the only major film of the election season is a biopic of the outgoing president, rather than a more general political piece looking at the state of the union. What's even more surprising is that the mastermind behind this George W Bush movie is Oliver Stone.

We've seen hundreds of iPhone 6-related part leaks, rumors, and claims, and of course lots of comparison photos. Below, via Yaya888 and Gizmobic, we have the latest. These shots compare the iPhone 5 to the space gray 4.7-inch physical iPhone 6 model. The new phone is expected to be introduced on September 9th.
Latest Weibo leak shows supposed 4.7-inch iPhone screen backlight part
Weibo is continuing to be the source of unverified iPhone 6 leaks. This time, user "顾Gooey" has published some photos that he claims to represent display backlight components for the next-generation iPhone with a 4.7-inch screen. These parts appear similarly structured to the iPhone 5S and 5C version of the backlight component, meaning that the forum poster is either passing off the current-generation part as next-generation or that there is something legitimate about the components. The iPhone 6 is rumored to come in both 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch sizes, and it will run iOS 8, include a more efficient A8 processor, and likely feature a 1704 x 960 display with a sharper pixel density. Another unverified backlight component photo, below, from Weibo:
Latest sketchy photo from Weibo: a giant iPad dummy reboots rumors of iPad Pro
An image of an aluminium backplate for what looks like the rumoured, larger, iPad Pro has appeared on Weibo. Although details are unclear, not to mention incredibly sketchy, this looks like an aluminium mockup dummy unit, not an actual iPad part. The image was first spotted by NowhereElse.fr.
Purported iPhone 6 pictures show protruding camera, rounded edges
Images posted on Weibo claim to show an iPhone 6 under testing at Foxconn, via GforGames. The validity of these images cannot be confirmed, but the shots do line up with previous rumours. The iPhone 6 depicted here has a protruding camera (similar to the current design of the iPod touch), rounded edges and a considerably thinner profile than the current iPhone 5s.
Supposedly, these photos come from inside Foxconn itself. Drawings published on Friday reflect these images somewhat. A protruding camera component is part of the schematics, for example. Evidence of a thin chassis for the next-generation iPhone were originally found in January, albeit those pictures were as sketchy as these latest images.
Apple hooks up exploding Mac userbase in China with local services in OS X Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion will cater to Chinese users more than any other OS X version. CEO Tim Cook once more underscored the importance of China by highlighting Mac sales in today's interview with the Wall Street Journal. Sales doubled in the 1.33 billion-people market during 2011 to the tune of $13 billion in revenue.
"They know about Apple and what Apple stands for. Then they search out and look for the Mac", he told the paper. Apple's promotional material said Mountain Lion makes it easy to "set up Mail, Contacts, Calendar, video sharing, web searching, and blogging on your Mac using many popular services in China."
For starters, Chinese input method in Mountain Lion has "significant enhancements." Secondly, Apple worked hard to make sure customers in China get a localized experience by providing the ability to select Baidu search in Safari. Baidu is the dominant search engine in China, ranked No. 6 in Alexa's global rankings and No. 1 in China with an estimated 56.6-percent share of the country's 4.02 billion search queries as of June 2011…

McCord Museum launches Keys to History,
bringing Canadian
history to your fingertips
Thursday, May 15, 2003 — Today the McCord Museum
launches Keys to History, a dynamic Web resource
designed for the Canadian history buff in all of us. Drawing
upon images and information from leading Canadian historical
institutions, Keys to History offers thematic virtual
tours that highlight intriguing aspects of Canada's past and
enable visitors to see Canadian history in a whole new light.
on the McCord Museum's Web site, Keys to History (www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/keys)
encompasses a database of over 60,000 digital images from the
collections of the McCord Museum and its partners, the New
Brunswick Museum and the Musée acadien of the Université de
Moncton. The digital medium offers users a rare glimpse of
artifacts, artworks, photographs and manuscripts that might
otherwise be inaccessible to museum visitors.
star feature of Keys to History is a series of
fascinating Thematic Tours created by historians and museum
curators. These Tours provide insight into major events in
Canadian history and aspects of daily life that shaped the
Canadian experience, with tour topics such as the aftermath of
the Rebellions of 1837-1838, the Klondike gold rush,
19th-century patent medicines and "miracle cures,"
and the advent of mass consumption and advertising in Canada.
those inspired to become historians and curators themselves,
the Database Research function allows users to search through
over 60,000 digital images of artifacts in order to create his
or her own thematic tour. These tours can be saved and shared
with others, making Keys to History a truly user-driven
virtual museum environment. Conceptual Browsing, on the other
hand, offers an entirely different way of exploring the
databases. With an innovative interface, this function
encourages users to view artifacts and images in relation to
each other and their historical context. Additional plans are
in the works to enrich Keys to History with digitized
images from institutions across Canada and extend the Thematic
Tours' time period to end in 1945.
of the McCord's EduWeb
Keys to History is part of the McCord Museum's groundbreaking EduWeb, a collection of bilingual learning tools accessible free of charge on the Museum's Web site (www.mccord-museum.qc.ca). With Keys to History, the McCord adds a resource for members of the general public who wish to gain a fresh understanding of Canadian history.
by the McCord Museum under the leadership of Dr Nicole Vallières,
the McCord's Director of Collection and Information
Management, and her research team, Keys to History was
made possible through a generous grant from Heritage Canada,
and further aided by in-kind support from Sygraf Inc and Sono

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 21, 2010
DNR lifts statewide burn banHeavy rain and low temps ease fire danger
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that the statewide burn ban has been lifted from DNR-protected lands earlier than anticipated. The heavy rainfall throughout the state has eased the summer fire danger and the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center's September 2010 outlook calls for below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation.
DNR urges continued caution with all potential fire sources, including tools, vehicles, camp stoves and other equipment and activities. Forest landowners may now conduct silvicultural burning subject to the conditions of their written burning permit or under DNR rules for burning without a permit.
The conditions allow DNR to remove the statewide burn ban before September 30, 2010. The burn ban was ordered on July 15, 2010 to reduce the number of wildfires caused by escaped debris burns and recreational fires on forest land. These fires can cause extensive damage to natural resources and property, and can cost the state millions of dollars in fire suppression costs.
This year was the first that Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark issued a Commissioner's Order calling for a statewide burn ban on all DNR-protected lands.
Burn barrels illegalThe use of burn barrels in Washington state is illegal. Backyard fires that get out of control are a leading cause of wildfires caused by people. Those who burn fires illegally are held responsible for the cost of putting out the wildfire caused by their outdoor burning.
DNR's wildfire mission Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, DNR is responsible for preventing and fighting wildfires on 12.7 million acres of private, state and tribal-owned forestlands in Washington. DNR is the state's largest on-call fire department. During fire season, this includes more than 700 DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency and about 375 seasonal workers. DNR also participates in Washington's coordinated interagency approach to firefighting.

Overall, very dissapointing day for Russia. Only one bronze medal today. Popov was eliminated in the quarters and I heard Anunchin popped his ribs early in and was out? These guys were our last chance to get up in the standings and they didn't come out. I had pretty high hopes for Vachadze after winning Euros.
Overall, very dissapointing tournament for Russia in Greco. Only 1 gold and 2 bronze. We had expected so much more than this. We came in with a very strong team and failed. There were a bunch of top guys we had coming in that had horrible outcomes. We need to get back on track fast and get back on top. A bunch of these guys have got alot to work on when they get back home so that they can come out winning again as soon as possible. We need to establish our Greco-Roman team and wrestlers as the best in the world. Hopefully next year, we are much stronger and come out on top with the gold and the team title. We should since Worlds are being held in Russia next year, so we can't dissapoint.

Purifying Tonic
Product Review (submitted on May 6, 2013):
I have extremely sensitive acne prone skin and am in my mid 40's. This product is wonderful. It doesn't have the medicinal scent most purifying products seem to have nor the harsh burning and redness afterward. I have tried everything from Chanel to Lancôme to everything in between. I tell everybody about your products. You have a customer for life!

The key part is that they will be able to tell an Apple TV box they don't own to stream the media they do own, directly from the cloud. That's a change from the current system, which requires users to download stuff to their iPhones and iPads and fling it to the TV from there. It also echoes the way Google's new Chromecast device works …

'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson may adopt more kidsAdd to Favorites | Duck Dynasty
"Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson and his wife, Korie Robertson, are open to adopting more children. The couple says they would be willing to add to their brood that already includes one adopted son, a foster daughter, and three biological children.
When the family traveled to Washington D.C. to accept an awards at the Adoption Institute's "Angels in Adoption" Awards Gala, In Touch asked Willie if he is willing to adopt again.
"Sure," he replies. "There are plenty of kids who need homes. That's why we're all here. We have adopted children and we have natural children ... and there's no difference between them."
On stage that night, Willie revealed he and Korie had to scrape together money to pay the adoption fee for "Lil Willie." But he also says it was worth it. "I've done a lot of cool things in the past couple of years," says Willie. "I've been to Super Bowls, I've met Presidents -- but the best decision we ever made -- that made the biggest impact on our life was the adoption of our son Will."

Adark-suited guy sporting a straw panama hat throws an uppercut at an opponent.
"Take that, you punk!" he yells.
"Aaarrrgghh!" cries the punk, as he falls over in anguish.
That's a typical scene from the adventures of Lance Spearman, a James Bond-like super cop who resonated so well with young Nigerian readers. Published under the title African Film by Drum Publications, the magazine was once a staple in virtually every English-speaking town of Africa. This was way back in the 60s and the 70s.
Selling alongside this magazine, the adventures of Fearless Fang (an African version of Tarzan, published under the title, Boom) and the Stranger (a black Lone Ranger) jostled for the same readers' attention. They all shared one thing in common: they were comics making use actual photographs of black people rather than hand-drawn illustrations. Dialogue bubbles were positioned over the heads of characters or beside them.
But to the post-colonial African, there was something more appealing about an urban-dwelling black man who was always in the hot pursuit of baddies. "He is the black James Bond and the most popular fictional character in Africa today," wrote Los Angeles Times writer Stanley Miseler in an article published on Saturday, November 9, 1968 in The Milwaukee Journal. "This phenomenon of popular culture reveals a good deal about the tastes of the half educated young man in the African towns, his yearnings, his confused identification with snippets of western culture, his need for fancy in a harsh urban world."
Lance Spearman thus became a black comic hero, whose popularity rating was unrivalled even by DC Comic's Superman. Because he was real, he could have been a long-lost friend having a ball in one of the leafy well-heeled neighbourhoods called the GRAs (Government Reserved Areas) in Nigerian cities.
"I cried after reading one of the episodes which ended with Spearman in captivity," reminisces Robert Ikeogu (not his real names). "Back then, I always looked forward to the subsequent issues in anticipation."
"How can I forget Spearman, Captain Victor and Lemmy!" a reader, who simply identified himself as Ayo, gushes.
"It was really a portfolio of black and white photos, complete with oval shaped text boxes that included all the sound effects that a kick and a quick uppercut to the jaw could produce," writes an unidentified Ugandan blogger in a blog spot called Kabozi. "Month in and month out we were spellbound by this African hero hunting down villains and bringing them to justice."
If Spearman's sartorial elegance had any influence on then local fashion trends, it was short-lived. His old-fashioned outfit stood no chance against the onslaught of the African American-inspired bulbous Afro hair, skin-tight shirts, bell-bottom trousers and high-heeled shoes of the 70s.
Like his Caucasian template James Bond, Spearman had a bevy of female admirers. An archetypal hedonist, he always seemed to have a cigar clamped between his teeth and savoured scotch on the rocks. A coupé, named Stingray, was his trademark means of transport.
"The magazines are known in the publishing trade as look-reads," explained Miseler. The so-called "look-reads", according to him, used to be popular in Europe and were introduced in South Africa in 1964. "At first, almost all were about white heroes like Captain Devil of the South African secret police.
"Then the Drum Publications of South Africa began photographing black men in adventures that were designed to appeal to black men. It buys the stories and edits them in Johannesburg.
"The scripts are sent to Swaziland, where a photographer takes pictures of a team of black actors. From there, the photographed strips are sent to London, where the magazines are printed. Then they are distributed in West Africa, East Africa and South Africa."
The white publishers in Johannesburg, Miseler continued, were producing separate editions for the then Apartheid South Africa and the rest of the continent. "The copies in black Africa have no reference to the South African owners.
"The magazine with the adventures of Lance Spearman, which is known as Spear magazine and African Film magazine in black Africa, is the most popular publication."
Its circulation figures were estimated at 100, 000 in West Africa, 45,000 in East Africa and 20,000 in South Africa. Miseler believed that the magazine had a greater circulation in Kenya than any of the then local daily newspapers.
On why the circulation figures in the then independent black Africa dwarfed those of South Africa, he quoted Drum's Johannesburg-based white editor, Malcolm Dunkeld as saying that "the African market is more sophisticated in South Africa. Besides, they prefer stories about white men to black men."
Dunkeld, Miseler added, was skirting around political landmines by keeping his characters neutral. Most of Dunkeld's writers of black look-reads were black. They were paid $65 for every script they produced.
"We can't use Sherlock Holmes stuff," Miseler quoted him as saying. Also expected in the scripts were lots of fistfights and non-political or non-racial storylines. Above all, they must always end the same way: the baddies must always be the losers.
Miseler, in his article, also profiled the average reader of African Film. According to him: "They are the young men, who have left the rural areas after a few years of schooling and come to the towns. Education, with its visions and promise of a rich white collar life, has made them feel unfit for farm life. They have left their tribal life behind and are searching for the sophisticated, rich western world that they vaguely believe awaits them in towns..."
Miseler's profiling may have been true of the South African audience but certainly not so of the then Nigerian readers. For among those who revel in the blissful memories of the look-reads were highly educated professionals.
The man, who played the character of Spearman, was identified in the Milwaukee Journal article as Jore Mkwanazi. "He was a houseboy, scrubbing the floors of an apartment in Durban for $35 a month and playing the piano in a nightclub for $1.50 a night, when a white photographer, Stanley N. Bunn, discovered him and decided he had the tough, cynical, sophisticated face that was needed for Spear. Mkwanazi earns $215 a month playing Spear."
At the back of each edition of African Film, a page was dedicated to the Spear Fan Club featuring a photograph of Spearman with addresses of members drawn from Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. For those still intent on relishing the fond memories of this look-read magazine, a Facebook page has been opened this year since May 31.

Timberland Empowers Local Farmers and Communities
Timberland planted 2.2 million trees in the rural area surrounding Gonaives and continues to support an agroforestry program to train Haitian farmers to improve crop yields.
In 2010, Timberland partnered with the Smallholder Farmers Alliance, a non-governmental organization, to help them meet their commitment of planting 5 million trees in a five-year period. (At that time, Haiti was 98 percent deforested.) An additional 1 million trees will be planted this year as well as in 2014 and 2015.
We know that trees are vital to our health. They help clean the air of pollutants, lower temperatures and generally make people feel better and reduce stress. These planted trees also serve as physical borders around farms to prevent flooding and erosion, as food sources, sustainable fuel and as shade from the harsh sun.
Warning Too Late for Some Babies
A premature baby died after his parents gave him Simply Thick — a product given to infants who have difficulty swallowing. The baby's small intestine stopped working, two weeks after he started using Simply Thick, according to the New York Times.
A month after the baby's death, the FDA warned that Simply Thick may increase infants' risk of developing a life-threatening illness. According to the FDA, 22 infants developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed baby formula or breast milk mixed with Simply Thick. Seven of them died.
A Burden of Care Over Seized Exotic Wildlife in Thailand
The illegal wildlife trade, estimated to be worth $7-10 billion annually, devastates endangered species, damages ecosystems, and threatens local livelihoods and regional security.
Over the past two years, officials in Thailand have captured more than 46,000 animals from traffickers, vendors and trappers. This figure has more than doubled the 18,000 seized for the two previous years.
New Ads Highlight World Bank's Deadly Coal Plans for Kosovo
The World Bank and the U.S. State Department want to finance a massive new coal-fired power plant in Kosovo. But new studies show that Kosovo does not need a new coal plant; they can achieve their energy and development aspirations through other cost-effective investments in energy efficiency, reductions in power losses, and renewable energy.
According to this Huffington Post article, coal plants kill, to the tune of 835 people every year.
Mapping the Nation's Emissions
The Environmental Protection Agency released an interactive map of greenhouse gas emissions in 2011 from the nation's biggest industrial polluters.
UPS to Roll Out Fleet of Electric Vehicles in California
One hundred electric vehicles will join the United States Postal Services fleet of brown vans. The company has said it's the biggest corporate roll-out of zero-emissions vehicles ever in California. UPS expects the trucks to reduce fuel consumption by 126,000 gallons a year and to lower carbon emissions.
NASA to Launch World's Largest Solar Sail
NASA's Solar Sail Demonstration, also known as the Sunjammer Project, may launch as early as 2014 when it will send the largest solar sail yet built into orbit, to demonstrate the technical viability of the device.
A Clean Flexible and Reliable Grid: How We Get There
The BiPartisan Policy Center released a report called Capitalizing on the Evolving Power Sector: Polices for a Modern and Reliable U.S. Electric Grid.

Work from my 2nd semester at LCAD
Hi guys,
just wanted to share some of the stuff I've been working on over the last semester at LCAD now that I have some time.
Here's my blog: davver.blogspot.com
and : davver.
I plan on continuing with the Tree civilization (Kauri) world by adding some characters designs over the summer.
Thank you for your time, any feedback is very welcome!

Nice work - professional quality already. The level design diagrams are outstanding. I'm glad to see evidence of a really top instructor who knows what's up. Don't get me wrong - your work is excellent, but my impression is you're working under an instructor, and in a program that is really solid. Keep it up man!

Cool - haven't checked out LCAD before but by your work it looks like a solid place. I don't see them listed as faculty but maybe the site is not up to date or they're part time or something.
I'm curious, was that work solo or did you handle environment/level design on a team?
Edit: Meant to mention you might really dig the work of the Schuiten Brothers...your level diagrams reminded me of some of their stuff. Just give them a search if you're not familiar with them.

This stuff looks good...very professional follow-through.
However: Not to be a total killjoy, but if this architecture is supposed to be made of wood it sure doesn't feel like it...the curvy forms you're using would just make no sense to anyone who's ever worked as a carpenter. I only bring this up because I think if you do a bit of Googling (try "house framing" and "Norwegian stave church") you'll probably come up with wooden forms that feel less "generic sci-fi/fantasy game setting" and more "this feels cool and convincing."
As always, just my two cents.
May 29th, 2012 #7
@JeffX99: Yeah I think they had some trouble in the beginning establishing a solid program but I am lucky enough to start now when most of it is finally working out. They might have not updated the website, but you can probably just google their names and you'll find their portfolios.
These two projects were solo, however they were regularly critiqued by the whole class every week etc. I worked on a few team projects too though, maybe I'll post some more stuff!
Thanks for the recommendation, I did a few searches and their stuff looks amazing!
@Giacomo: Thank you
I have worked a lot with wood when I was younger actually, of course I never built a house so I can't judge that.
I was trying to convey some sort of advanced carpentry form, much inspired by Japanese joinery. And the curved forms of wood are often used in for example Japanese Temples. Looking back I wish I added some more details for scale, like patterns, railings etc. I was more concerned with the overall forms for this project.
June 3rd, 2012 #8
Actually the wood engineering and style you have developed is quite good I think. There is a consistency of technology and style between a wide range of functions...machines, architecture, etc...not easy to pull off.
Shipbuilders certainly knew how to work with curved wood and joinery so I don't find it hard to believe at all. When I was 17 I started in construction and actually first thing I worked on was a 5,200 square foot house with all curved walls!

I think they are enough believable to be a fantasy setting of all sort, the problem is that they lack some details. Your design is full of major forms but it lacks those details of human crafting that makes it feel grounded. It's only this the problem, artisan refinery

@Hitsu//San: Yeah that's what I notice too, now that I look at it a few months later. If I find the time i might go in and add details, like joints and carvings, things like that.

Plenty of sun over D.C. today but some snow possible by Friday
By: Meteorologist Chris Naille
TODAY: Mostly Sunny
HIGHS: Around 40
TONIGHT: Partly Cloudy
LOWS: 20s
THURSDAY: Mostly Cloudy; Few Flurries Poss.
WINDS: Variable 5-10
HIGHS: Around 40
High pressure remains in control of our weather today allowing for plenty of sunshine with high temperatures just below average, around 40 degrees this afternoon. Thursday cloud cover will increase, and a few flurries will also be possible, as high pressure gives way to our next approaching storm system.
Another disturbance will impact the region Thursday through Friday producing cloudy skies and about a 40 percent chance of snow showers. As of this morning, it looks like we could pick up a dusting or light coating of snow from this system. Not a big deal, but perhaps just enough to cause a few slick spots, so keep that in mind as you may need to adjust your travel time a bit.
Blustery winds and cold daytime highs in the 30s will be the rule this weekend with partly cloudy skies Saturday and a bit more sun in the mix by Sunday.

FAQ: Wound Center Treatment
Here we address the commonly asked questions regarding what to expect at the Enloe Wound Center.
How do I know if I need treatment at a wound center?
Typically, most wounds heal without any special treatment. However, when wounds fail to show progress in two weeks or heal completely in six weeks, these wounds need the expertise of a wound care specialist at a wound care center. People with diabetes or circulation problems often have wounds such as these.
Will my family doctor get a report on my care?
A team of physicians and nurses specially trained in the treatment of non-healing wounds will report your treatment plan and progress directly to your family doctor at regular intervals, providing written reports and photographs of your wound status.
How often would I need to come for treatment?
During the initial stages of treatment at a wound care center, patients are typically seen every 7-10 days. The frequency of the visits, however, is always determined by the individual patients need.
Will the treatment be painful?
Assuring the patient's comfort is always a priority for the wound care staff. At each visit, we will assess the patient's level of pain and use interventions to assure that there is minimal to no discomfort experienced during treatment.
Who will do my dressing changes between visits at the center?
The wound care center staff will work with the patient, the patient's family and any caregivers involved to assure prescribed dressing changes are accomplished.
How will my progress be monitored?
At each visit, the wound care team will measure the wound and assess the wound for signs of healing. Patients will be kept informed of their progress at each visit.
Will my insurance cover this treatment?
Most insurance companies will cover the services provided. Enloe Medical Center offers a financial services counselor that will work with each patient to determine the coverage provided by their specific insurance plan.

Bellagio Rating: 5.0 Pearls
Centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip, Bellagio's buffet is widely considered to be the very best. Its carving station goes beyond the usual prime rib to include St. Louis barbecue ribs and chicken Wellington. The large variety of cuisines includes Italian, Japanese, Chinese seafood, and American. It's not the cheapest -- $14.95 breakfasts, $19.95 lunches, $23.95 weekend brunches, $27.95 weeknight dinners, and $35.95 dinner Saturdays and Sundays, when the buffet includes Kobe beef -- but it's worth it.
M Resort Spa & Casino Rating: 4.0 Pearls
Studio B, the buffet at the M Resort, serves upwards of 200 dishes a day. At lunch and dinner, the buffet even includes free beer and wine -- perhaps as incentive to lure diners to the hotel's location, 10 miles from the Strip. In terms of quality, the food is on par with other top Vegas buffets, including the highly touted one at the Bellagio, but the prices are lower (breakfast is $11, compared with $14.95 at Bellagio, for example).
Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The remarkable all-you-can-eat Village Seafood buffet at the Rio is well worth the short trip from the Strip. Serving snow crab legs, Cuban shrimp stew, Baja fish tacos, mussels, and fresh-shucked oysters (all flown in daily), the buffet bests the 300-plus mediocre dishes at the hotel's Carnival World buffet. A new sound and light system in the dining room accompanies videos about ocean species, fishing, and the culinary arts. At $38, it's pricey, so swing by the lobster station to get your money's worth.
Wynn Las Vegas Rating: 5.0 Pearls
The buffet at the Wynn, the Las Vegas Review-Journal's staff pick for best buffet in Las Vegas in 2009, is on the high end of Vegas buffets ($34.95 weeknight dinners). But for that price, diners get 16 staffed cooking stations, including ones serving seafood, Italian, Mexican, and American cuisine, and an impressive dessert spread. Plus, in contrast to most Vegas buffets, the grand dining room is large and airy.
Paris Las Vegas Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The whimsical, Disney-esque Le Village Buffet at the Paris -- voted best buffet by the Las Vegas Review-Journal three years in a row -- has five cook-to-order stations, each serving a different regional French cuisine. Lines can be long, and the gooey pie filling on top of the Belgian waffles is no substitute for real fruit, but Francophile diners with American appetites won't find such a vast spread of French food at a better price ($15 breakfasts, $25 dinners).
Flamingo Las Vegas Rating: 3.5 Pearls
Unlike most Vegas buffets, which tend to be dark and windowless, the scenic Flamingo Paradise Garden Buffet overlooks the streams, gardens, and live flamingos of the hotel's wildlife preserve. For food, your best bet is the $20 champagne brunch: some 60 different breakfast foods, including made-to-order omelets and waffles, corned beef hash, and smoked Norwegian salmon. The $22 dinners, however, are no better than average (except for the crustacean corner).
Treasure Island Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The Treasure Island buffet is not the biggest on the Strip, but with a chef who makes salads to order, a custom pasta station, sushi chefs on the floor, and barbecue, it's definitely a notch above the typical Vegas all-you-can-eat spread, and all for a reasonable price ($14-$22 breakfasts, $22-$26 dinners). Plus, the food is fresh and the servers are attentive.

Bulls unaware of Mirotic coming to americaContinue reading.
Bulls close in on Mirotic; close out on Boozer
The Bulls continued taking steps to end Carlos Boozer's four-year stay with the franchise on Friday, closing in on their 2011 draft acquisition Nikola Mirotic.
As for the dream of Carmelo Anthony wearing Bulls home whites anytime soon? Well, that image that the franchise threw up outside the United Center during Anthony's visit on Tuesday might be as close as it gets.
After the one Bulls source downplayed Mirotic's arrival earlier in the week – most likely because of the Anthony buzz – another source said on Friday that the team is now feeling confident that something was close to getting done with the 23-year-old Mirotic, especially after the 6-foot-10 forward reportedly secured a buyout with Real Madrid for $3 million.
The Bulls were able to pay up to $600,000 toward the Mirotic buyout, as they can now start talking long-term contract. But if they paid more than the $600,000 that would be a cap hit to limit even more money for Anthony.
It might not matter.
While the Bulls feel confident that they are still in the discussion, there is a feeling that momentum has been lost, especially with Anthony's New York team now willing to offer a max contract for his return to the Big Apple, as well as the promise of more things coming in 2015 when the Knicks free up even more cap.
That's why the meeting with free agent Pau Gasol on Thursday in Los Angeles was so important to the Bulls brass. If Anthony does forfeit his integrity from earlier interviews this season when he said it wasn't about the money and does grab the check from the Knicks, the Bulls still feel they will be well positioned in the Eastern Conference with the additions of Gasol, Mirotic and rookie draft pick Doug McDermott.
A source did say that in the talks with Gasol, the veteran was told that there would be a starting job for him with the Bulls. That would mean that Taj Gibson can remain a Sixth Man of the Year candidate for another season, coming off the bench.
It would also allow the Bulls to keep Mike Dunleavy and Jimmy Butler. At least one of them – maybe both – would have to go in order to ink Anthony as a free agent.
Then there's Boozer. Actually, then there's no longer Boozer.
The Sun-Times reported that the Boozer camp wanted an answer on his future earlier this week and was told by the organization that he was done. With the Knicks still unwilling to sign-and-trade for Boozer and no other interest from other teams for his expiring $16.8 million contract, amnesty was the only route seemingly presenting itself at this time.

The responsibilities Jennifer Payne has as the Dean of Work encompasses many aspects of a student's curriculum during their time at Sterling College. In the classroom, on internships, and in the Work Program, Payne sees her role as a facilitator of learning opportunities and adventures. From introducing students to the resources and services of the Career Resource Center in their first weeks of classes to conducting chat sessions with those same students as seniors in their last few weeks of school to everything in between, she loves to watch students grow and develop their passions and interests. From working with students who can barely fill a résumé their first year to editing it down to a two page résumé their senior year; from seeing students enter with little work experience and emerge as a supervisor of their peers, a campus leader, and a colleague of the faculty, Payne enjoys the role of a cheerleader as students gain skills and confidence. Watching students passions being ignited on an internship or a campus job and then discovering their professional niche is what keeps her coming to work every day on the Sterling campus.
The college campus is a familiar community for Payne as she has worked in Residence Life, Student Activities, Greek Affairs, Outdoor Adventure and Athletics at SUNY Geneseo, Western Illinois University, Georgetown University, and New England College as well as Semester At Sea. Circumnavigating the globe on a floating college campus was a unique community she was part of for two Semester At Sea voyages.
A former Outward Bound instructor and summer camp director, she is a veteran world traveler (all 50 US states, 7 Canadian provinces, and 25 countries). She is an active member of the Association for Experiential Education, recently serving on the Board of Directors. (Many Sterling students and faculty attend the Association's regional and national conferences every year.) She is also an American Red Cross first aid, swimming and lifeguarding instructor, a certified Professional Ski Instructor of America, and a connoisseur of chocolate. Some of her favorite past times are gardening, swimming on a Master swim team, canoeing, and watching sunsets with her son, Luke and her husband, Woody.

Friend Rachel and I began transporting prints to Hopkins about 8 a.m. yesterday morning. It required two loads, as expected. Hanging the thirty-eight went smoothly. Two levels, with a long wall on each. We finished at about 1:30. That was a marathon, but it all looks pretty good.
It is certainly the most extensive show of my work to date, and that includes either of The Nude in Minnesota exhibits. Many friends have said they are coming Thursday eve ("friends" who never show up for TNIM openings).
I think I have a wider readership than friend Dave, so I'll trumpet for him his ascendancy to modeling stardom. Check him out (all of him) on Model Mayhem.
I can't think of another male photographer who's done this (lots of female photographers — or at least female models-evolved-into-photographers).
News from wife Patricia in Michigan that she stepped on a piece of loose pavement and, at a minimum, twisted her ankle. She's in a half cast, using crutches. And not driving. Which, for now, means not driving home anytime soon.
When the swelling goes down, they'll x-ray to determine if it's a break, a sprain, or only a twisted ankle.
Might have to enjoy my own cooking for awhile longer. (Dave and I will enjoy steaks tomorrow evening after the reception.)

YIELD: Serves 6
Sprinkle gelatin over juice in a small heatproof cup and let stand 1 minute to soften. Purée mangoes with sugar in a blender until very smooth and force through a sieve into a large bowl.
Melt softened gelatin in cup in a pan of simmering water or in a microwave and stir into purée. Beat cream with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks and gently fold into purée.
Chill fool, covered, at least 8 hours.
Cooks' notes: Mango fool can be kept, chilled and covered, up to 2 days.
There are two ways of getting to the flesh of a mango. The safest way is to cut the two wide, fleshiest sides of the mango as close to the pit as possible. Score cut sides of the pieces in a crosshatch pattern, turn them inside out, then cut the flesh from the skin. You can also remove the skin first with a vegetable peeler, then cut the flesh from the pit with a sharp knife. (Take care if you use this method; the mango's slipperiness can be tricky.)

The Baby Diaries- Week Five.
Last Weeks News...
LL turned 5 weeks old on Monday. I keep wanting the time to slow down.
We had an appointment to see a Cranial Oestopath on Tuesday to see if it could help her with her trapped wind. It was really strange as it really did look as if she wasn't doing anything but that night she slept for 4.5 hours straight. While it hasn't completely cured her, and she still gets really upset at night with the pain, it does seem to have made a slight difference. We have another appointment this week so will have to see what happens.
On Friday I thought I got a little smile when we were in the pub having lunch with my Mum and sister. She was definitely looking straight at me as in the last few days she has been focusing on us more, and she 'smiled' four or five times, however she hasn't done it since so it could have been wind.
On Tuesday night after the Oestopath LL slept the best she ever had. She went to bed around half ten and slept for four and a half hours straight, before having a tiny feed and then settling back down really well. She then had another feed almost three hours later before coming in our bed for an hour before it was time to get up. It was lovely having a nice sleep although I felt sleepier in the morning because of it!
Since then we have had good and not so good nights. However she does seem to be in a pattern now. We go to bed around half ten and she generally sleeps until 2am. She then settles quite well (but I am still up about 45 minutes with her) and then she will sleep until around 4-5am. This is when it is not quite so good and she gets really unsettled with wind. I have been trying to be stricter and keep her in her moses basket until 6am when I then let her come and snuggle in our bed. However some nights I do let her in bed with us after her second feed of the night. On Monday night for the first time ever I fell asleep while she was settling back down on my chest after a feed- I didn't even do that with Mads. It was only for an hour but it worried me so I need to make sure I don't do it again!
With Mads we would let her moan and groan in bed for a few minutes before getting her up to feed her to see if she would settle, but with LL I am worried that she will wake up Mads so I do often whip her out of bed at the first little groan. Each night I have been trying to leave her a bit longer to see if she will self settle back down, but a lot of the time she starts crying within a few seconds so I get her out out straight away.
All in all two wake up's aren't that bad so I can't complain really, although I would like her to be able to stretch out a little bit longer as the weeks go by!
Breastfeeding is going well which I am so pleased about. I am generally feeding on demand and although I try and go three hours between feeds in the day, sometimes if she gets upset or distressed I do occasionally feed her more often that. I worry that she is just comforting sucking but at the end of the day she is so small that if she is doing that I am sure she will grow out of it. She doesn't have a dummy so it could be that she is using me as a comfort.
During her two feeds at night she is only feeding for a few minutes at a time which leads me to think that she is either not really hungry and is just comfort sucking to stop her wind and to get her back to sleep, or that she is so sleepy she isn't really feeding properly. I guess we will see over the next few weeks!

Wow, 5 weeks already! Scary! Great to hear feeding is going well and sleep is getting better. I do think having more sleep when your body has adjusted to little sleep makes you feel sleepier but you soon grow out of that. You can see the difference in her week to week. She's getting chunkier. So cute!
How is LL nearly 6 weeks already!?!
These pictures are such a lovely way of recording how she's changing and growing!! Youre so good at doing it too!! I started a monthly one to F and i lasted 4 months....
Although im doing well on the 52 project ...so farxx
That is the thing my sister is so worried about, but it does happen I remember Ollie feeding lying down in the night and then waking up a few hours later with him nestled into my armpit. Have to say we did that a lot and I should have been more careful. Good advice xxx

text: The close bond between a single mother and her teenage daughter is often tested in this dramatic television series. Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) became pregnant at 16, and, against the wishes of her mother and father (Edward Herrmann and Kelly Bishop), chose to keep the child and raise it on her own. Sixteen years later, Lorelai enjoys a warm relationship with her daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), but as Rory suffers the growing pains of being a teenager, Lorelai finds it's hard to be both mother and best friend. Lorelai also has to contend with her own parents, who still believe they know what's best for both Lorelai and Rory. Created as part of an initiative to bring more family-friendly drama to American television, Gilmore Girls debuted on the WB network on October 5, 2000; singer/songwriter Sam Phillips contributed music to the series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

As money managers are fond of reminding us, past returns are no guarantee of future returns. Same goes for coaches, football and otherwise.
But if Steve Fairchild's most recent nine seasons as an offensive coordinator are any indicator, and if Virginia can develop and recruit talent to play his diverse attack, then the Cavaliers' offense should thrive under his direction.
Virginia announced the 54-year-old Fairchild as its offensive coordinator Wednesday, one day after making Bill Lazor's exit to the Philadelphia Eagles official.
Fairchild was available because he was part of the San Diego Chargers staff fired along with coach Norv Turner this offseason. His four seasons as head coach at Colorado State, his alma mater, were trying as the Rams went 16-33 from 2008-11 and struggled on both sides of the ball.
But in Fairchild's four seasons as offensive coordinator, 1997-2000, Colorado State ranked among the nation's top 40 in scoring every year, a level Virginia hasn't reached since 2004. The Rams ranked as high as 13th nationally in rushing, as high as 28th in passing, showing balance and the ability to adjust to personnel.
Not coincidentally, Colorado State won at least eight games in each of those seasons and cracked the Associated Press final top 25 twice.
Fairchild's most notable group was in 1997, when Kevin McDougal and Damon Washington rushed for more than 1,100 yards each, while quarterback Moses Moreno threw for 2,252 yards and 20 touchdowns.
In three seasons as the St. Louis Rams' coordinator, 2003-05, Fairchild was part of two playoff teams. The Rams ranked among the NFL's top-five passing offenses each year and among the top-10 total offenses.
Those squads featured quarterback Marc Bulger, running back Marshall Faulk and receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt.
Not surprisingly, Fairchild was far less effective as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator in 2006 and '07. The Bills' personnel included quarterbacks J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards, running backs Willis McGahee and Marshawn Lynch, and receiver Lee Evans.
Below are charts on Fairchild's seasons as coordinator at Colorado State, the St. Louis Rams and Buffalo Bills. The Colorado State chart shows its rankings among 120-plus Division I-A teams. The NFL rankings are among 32 teams.
Rush Pass Total Scoring Team Record
1997 13 61 18 8 11-2*
1998 48 43 40 39 8-4
1999 49 53 60 30 8-4**

Objective: To elucidate the genetic relationships between Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian men by studying Y-chromosomal variation in these people. Methods: The allelic status of five deep-rooted marker loci (YAP, Tat, M9, 92R7 and SRY-1532) was determined for 346 Baltic males. On the basis of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotypes, Y chromosomes were divided into six haplogroups, and the Baltic haplogroup distribution compared with that in 7 European reference populations. Haplogroup frequencies, diversities and genetic distances (FST values) were calculated. The relationships between populations were further illustrated using Mantel test, neighbor-joining tree and principal-component map. Results: We found the Indo-European-speaking Latvians and Lithuanians to be genetically very similar to the Finno-Ugric-speaking Estonians. When compared to the reference populations, Baltic males were most closely related to the Finno-Ugric-speaking Mari, followed by their Finnish and Slavonic neighbors. Conclusions: The genetic similarity existing between Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian men suggests that they originate from the same male founder population. Since the Baltic Y-chromosomal haplogroup distribution more closely resembles that of Finno-Ugric than Indo-European-speaking populations, we propose a hypothesis that Baltic males share a common Finno-Ugric ancestry.

'Family of Secrets' - a look at the Bush dynasty
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Tuesday) | Listen to this entire show:
Good afternoon, welcome to Radioactivity. I'm Rob Lorei. Tonight President Obama will announce that he is sending an additional 30,000 American troops to Afghanistan. That news is disappointing to peace activists, budget hawks and others who thought he would begin to wind down the wars started by the Bush Administration in the early part of this decade.
Our guest today is investigative reporter Russ Baker, who's new book is Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, The Powerful Forces That Put It In The White House, And What Their Influence Means For America (Bloomsbury). In the book, Baker looks back at the history of the Bush Family going back to the early part of the 1900's and their involvement in military contracting an intelligence. He traces that history along with the growing power of the military-industrial complex to the JFK assassination, the Vietnam and Iraq Wars, Watergate and the election of George W. Bush.
