Illustration: Giant snakes and futuristic punks in the portfolio of Paul Loubet
Not since July 2011 have we checked in with French illustrator Paul Loubet and his playful, multi-layered illustration. Thankfully he's still producing sensational images that combine neon colour palettes, platform-game aesthetics and characters rendered like futuristic punks. He's also added a new strand to his work; big, bold paintings that reference 1980s hair-metal album covers and all the best bits of glam rock. It's pretty weird but we bloody love it!

Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. 100 year old brand loved by over 200 million people worldwide.
"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Quarterly Report
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to "first quarter of
2014" and "first quarter of 2013" are to the Company's 13-week fiscal periods
ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, respectively.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in the 2013 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company's actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report (particularly in "Forward-Looking Statements") and in the 2013 10-K (particularly in "Risk Factors").
The Company is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores and websites under two brands (Macy's and Bloomingdale's) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and children's), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company's operations include approximately 840 stores, including thirteen Bloomingdale's Outlets, in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico, as well as macys.com and bloomingdales.com. In addition, Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.
The Company is focused on three key strategies for continued growth in sales, earnings and cash flow in the years ahead: (i) maximizing the My Macy's localization initiative; (ii) driving the omnichannel business; and
(iii) embracing customer centricity, including engaging customers on the selling floor through the Magic Selling program. Through the My Macy's localization initiative, the Company has invested in talent, technology and marketing which ensures that core customers surrounding each Macy's store find merchandise assortments, size ranges, marketing programs and shopping experiences that are custom-tailored to their needs. My Macy's has provided for more local decision-making in every Macy's community, and involves tailoring merchandise assortments, space allocations, service levels, visual merchandising and special events on a store-by-store basis. The Company's omnichannel strategy allows customers to shop seamlessly in stores and online, via computers or mobile devices. A pivotal part of the omnichannel strategy is the Company's ability to allow associates in any store to sell a product that may be unavailable locally by selecting merchandise from other stores or online fulfillment centers for shipment to the customer's door. Likewise, the Company's online fulfillment centers can draw on store inventories nationwide to fill orders that originate online, via computers or mobile devices. As of May 2014, nearly all Macy's stores are fulfilling orders from other stores and/or online, compared to 500 Macy's stores as of February 1, 2014. Also, by August of 2014, nearly all stores are expected to be fulfilling orders for pick-up related to online purchases. Macy's Magic Selling program is an approach to customer engagement that helps Macy's to better understand the needs of customers, as well as to provide options and advice. This comprehensive ongoing training and coaching program is designed to improve the in-store shopping experience and all other customer interactions. The Company did not open any new stores during the first quarter of 2014, but intends to open three new Macy's stores and one Bloomingdale's replacement store in the remainder of fiscal 2014. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company opened one new Macy's store and also expanded into an additional Macy's location in an existing mall. The Company's operations are impacted by competitive pressures from department stores, specialty stores, mass merchandisers, online retailers and all other retail channels. The Company's operations are also impacted by general consumer spending levels, including the impact of general economic conditions, consumer disposable income levels, consumer confidence levels, the availability, cost and level of consumer debt, the costs of basic necessities and other goods and the effects of weather or natural disasters and other factors over which the Company has little or no control. In recent years, consumer spending levels have been affected to varying degrees by a number of factors, including modest economic growth, a slowly improving housing market, a rising stock market, uncertainty regarding governmental spending and tax policies, high unemployment levels and tightened consumer credit. These factors have affected to varying degrees the amount of funds that consumers are willing and able to spend for discretionary purchases, including purchases of some of the merchandise offered by the Company.
The effects of economic conditions have been, and may continue to be,
experienced differently, or at different times, in the various geographic
regions in which the Company operates, in relation to the different types of
merchandise that the Company offers for sale, or in relation to the Company's
Macy's-branded and Bloomingdale's-branded operations. All economic conditions,
however, ultimately affect the Company's overall operations.
Based on its assessment of current and anticipated market conditions and its recent performance, the Company is assuming that its comparable sales in fiscal 2014 will increase in the range of 2.5% to 3.0% from 2013 levels and that its diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2014 will be in the range of $4.40 to $4.50.
Results of Operations Comparison of the First Quarter of 2014 and the First Quarter of 2013 First Quarter of 2014 First Quarter of 2013 Amount % to Sales Amount % to Sales (dollars in millions, except per share figures) Net sales $ 6,279 $ 6,387 Increase (decrease) in sales (1.7 ) % 4.0 % Increase (decrease) in comparable sales (1.6 ) % 3.8 % Cost of sales (3,836 ) (61.1 ) % (3,911 ) (61.2 ) % Gross margin 2,443 38.9 % 2,476 38.8 % Selling, general and administrative expenses (2,000 ) (31.8 ) % (2,041 ) (32.0 ) % Operating income 443 7.1 % 435 6.8 % Interest expense - net (100 ) (97 ) Income before income taxes 343 338 Federal, state and local income tax expense (119 ) (121 ) Net income $ 224 3.6 % $ 217 3.4 % Diluted earnings per share $ .60 $ .55
Net Income
Net income for the first quarter of 2014 increased $7 million or 3.2% compared to the first quarter of 2013, reflecting a higher gross margin rate and lower selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars and rate, partially offset by the impact of lower net sales in the first quarter of 2014. Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter of 2014 decreased $108 million or 1.7% compared to the first quarter of 2013. On a comparable basis, net sales for the first quarter of 2014 were down 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2013. Together with sales of departments licensed to third parties, first quarter of 2014 sales on a comparable basis were down 0.8%. (See page 20 for information regarding the Company's calculation of comparable sales, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure which takes into account sales of departments licensed to third parties to the most comparable GAAP measure and other important information.) Sales in the first quarter of 2014 were negatively impacted by a shift in the timing of a promotional event such that a portion of the resultant sales occurred after the end of the first quarter of 2014, as well as the weather. Geographically, sales in the first quarter of 2014 were stronger in the southern regions, which were impacted to a lesser degree by the weather. By family of business, sales in the first quarter of 2014 were stronger in handbags, impulse apparel for the millennial customer, active, kids and intimate apparel. There was positive momentum in juniors sales in the first quarter of 2014, and also sales of departments licensed to third parties performed well. Sales in the first quarter of 2014 were weakest in the home categories, including big ticket.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2014 decreased $75 million and the cost of sales rate as a percent to net sales of 61.1% was 10 basis points lower, compared to the first quarter of 2013. The application of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) retail inventory method did not result in the recognition of any LIFO charges or credits affecting cost of sales in either period. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2014 decreased $41 million or 2.0% from the first quarter of 2013. The SG&A rate as a percent to net sales of 31.8% was 20 basis points lower in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the first quarter of 2013. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2014 benefited from lower retirement expenses (including Pension Plan, SERP and 401(k) expenses), the impact of the cost reduction initiatives implemented at fiscal 2013 year-end, higher income from credit operations, lower expense in sales variable areas, and lower advertising expenses due to a timing shift of advertising spend which will impact the remainder of fiscal 2014, partially offset by the continued investments in the Company's omnichannel operations. Retirement expenses were $19 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $58 million in the first quarter of 2013. Income from credit operations was $171 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $166 million in the first quarter of 2013, reflecting continued profitability of the portfolio.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 increased $3 million from the first quarter of 2013. The increase in net interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 was due to higher levels of outstanding borrowings as compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate of 34.7% for the first quarter of 2014 and 35.8% for the first quarter of 2013 differ from the federal income tax statutory rate of 35%, and on a comparative basis, principally because of the effect of state and local income taxes, including the settlement of various tax issues and tax examinations.
Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP
financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with
additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management
believes that providing changes in comparable sales including the impact of
growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties
supplementally to its results of operations calculated in accordance with GAAP
assists in evaluating the Company's ability to generate sales growth, whether
through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties, on a
comparable basis, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which
certain departments are operated (e.g. the conversion in 2013 of most of the
Company's previously owned athletic footwear business to licensed Finish Line
See the table below for supplemental financial data and a corresponding reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in these non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. Additionally, the amounts received by the Company on account of sales licensed to third parties are limited to commissions received on such sales. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
First Quarter of First Quarter 2014 of 2013 Increase (decrease) in comparable sales (note 1) (1.6 )% 3.8 % Impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties (note 2) 0.8 % 0.6 % Increase (decrease) in comparable sales including impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties (0.8 )% 4.4 %
(1) Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation throughout 2014 and 2013 and all net Internet sales, excluding commissions from departments licensed to third parties. Stores undergoing remodeling, expansion or relocation remain in the comparable sales calculation unless the store is closed for a significant period of time. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales differ among companies in the retail industry.
(2) Represents the impact on comparable sales of including the sales of departments licensed to third parties occurring in stores in operation throughout 2014 and 2013 and via the Internet in the calculation. The Company licenses third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receives commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales. In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the Company includes these commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales. The Company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of licensed department sales (or any commissions earned on such sales) in its comparable sales in accordance with GAAP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and the credit facility described below. Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2014 was $86 million, compared to $298 million provided in the first quarter of 2013, due to lower merchandise payables relating to the timing of inventory receipts and the payout of costs associated with the cost reduction initiatives implemented at fiscal 2013 year-end.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $96 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $107 million for the first quarter 2013. Investing activities for the first quarter of 2014 include purchases of property and equipment totaling $63 million and capitalized software of $49 million, compared to purchases of property and equipment totaling $65 million and capitalized software of $50 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Financing Activities
On May 23, 2014, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The Company intends to use the proceeds of this debt to retire $453 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes maturing July 15, 2014 and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures and the repurchase of common stock under its share repurchase program. As a result, this short-term debt was reclassified to long-term debt as of May 3, 2014.
On May 14, 2014, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 31.25 cents per share on its common stock, payable July 1, 2014 to Macy's shareholders of record at the close of business on June 13, 2014. This dividend is an increase from the previous quarterly dividend rate of 25 cents per share and represents the fourth increase in the dividend in the past three years. Over that period, the quarterly dividend has increased more than six-fold from 5 cents per share to 31.25 cents per share.
Net cash used by the Company for financing activities was $385 million for the first quarter 2014, including $403 million for the acquisition of the Company's common stock, primarily under its share repurchase program, the payment of $92 million of cash dividends, a decrease in outstanding checks of $11 million, and the repayment of $5 million of debt, partially offset by $126 million from the issuance of common stock, primarily related to the exercise of stock options. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares of its common stock pursuant to existing stock purchase authorizations for a total of approximately $432 million. As of May 3, 2014, the Company had $1,000 million of authorization remaining under its share repurchase program. On May 14, 2014, the Company's board of directors approved an additional $1,500 million in authorization to purchase common stock, bringing the Company's remaining authorization under its share repurchase program including this increase to $2,500 million. The Company may continue or, from time to time, suspend repurchases of shares under its share repurchase program, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital and other factors.
Net cash used by the Company for financing activities was $275 million for the first quarter of 2013, including $336 million for the acquisition of the Company's common stock, primarily under its share repurchase program, the payment of $78 million of cash dividends and the repayment of $5 million of debt, partially offset by $100 million from the issuance of common stock, primarily related to the exercise of stock options, and an increase in outstanding checks of $44 million.
The Company is a party to a credit agreement with certain financial institutions that requires the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio for the latest four quarters of no less than 3.25 and a specified leverage ratio as of and for the latest four quarters of no more than 3.75. The Company's interest coverage ratio for the first quarter of 2014 was 9.37 and its leverage ratio at May 3, 2014 was 1.85, in each case as calculated in accordance with the credit agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook
Management believes that, with respect to the Company's current operations, cash on hand and funds from operations, together with its credit facility and other capital resources, will be sufficient to cover the Company's reasonably foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements and other cash requirements in both the near term and over the longer term. The Company's ability to generate funds from operations may be affected by numerous factors, including general economic conditions and levels of consumer confidence and demand; however, the Company expects to be able to manage its working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts so as to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. To the extent that the Company's cash balances from time to time exceed amounts that are needed to fund its immediate liquidity requirements, the Company will consider alternative uses of some or all of such excess cash. Such alternative uses may include, among others, the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations. Depending upon its actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider the issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible capital markets transactions, for the purpose of raising capital which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate purposes including the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations.
The Company intends from time to time to consider additional acquisitions of, and investments in, retail businesses and other complementary assets and companies. Acquisition transactions, if any, are expected to be financed from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities and the issuance of long-term debt or other securities, including common stock.

That cumbersome symbol of the American family, the minivan now has its own website www.momsminivan.com. Only in America, I say. I'm not making fun of them. I have one. What I like is that this site is not discriminatory; it is an equal opportunity kid appeaser. (If there is such a word.) This is the time of year when you get to find out just how roomy those vans are or aren't as the case may be. If you don't have a van, television for the car or are just plain nervous about traveling 1,000 miles with children, you need this site!
The web host has done a great job compiling travel games by age. Babies can definitely travel by car. They are too young to say, "He's touching me!" If your kids are older and less tolerant many more ideas are here too. We personally have used the tinfoil modeling idea. It is great! A generic roll of tinfoil is cheap and the kids had a blast.
Normally I don't like when a site has links to various sites that sell a product. Not so with this site. Laurel, the web host, seems to be a frugal gal as she featured links to those sites that help save money. (Many people don't know that when you find a site you like you need to help keep that site free to the user by clicking on their links and buying through them.) This site is a must see because even just traveling across town can be a hair raising "adventure" and I use that term loosely. Until next time.

My good friend Kate from Vegetable Vagabond dropped by on her way to Adelaide, and we haggled the deal in advance. The milk tastes absolutely delicious and definitely worth the discount that I gave her. Just a note, I pasteurised the milk before I made the cheese, as it still keeps the cream and milk separate, and I have never sold any raw milk cheese to friends and family!
Just look at all that wonderful cream floating on the top. Kate froze the milk before transportation, as it is no problem when defrosted. I am making Romano out of all this milk, which I am filming for another cheese making tutorial that will be ready over the weekend some time.
Anyway, even if raw milk has to come from Tassie, then so be it. It is difficult to come by at the best of times. What a treat!
Here are my thoughts on the raw milk issue that I wrote on The Greening of Gavin back in February this year.
Raw Milk Madness
Well let me tell you a thing or two about raw milk. When I was knee high to a grasshopper, I lived on a dairy farm run by my Dad and Mum. It was a great dairy farm with lovely cows with Dad having a name for nearly every single one of the 150 head herd. Dad paid very particular attention to the cleanliness of the milking equipment and even washed the cows udders before putting on the suction cups that sucked all of the milk out. Me, my siblings, parents, grandparents and most of the town of Loxton North drank raw milk with no ill effects, and I am still alive and kicking. The cows were fed on grass, not grain or silage, and had a very healthy diet. All things considered, no one ever got sick from drinking our milk that was sold from the diary door by the billy can full. So what is wrong with raw milk if the entire process is treated with respect? Probably nothing in my experience, however I don't have a science degree in biology to be 100% authoritative on the subject so take my opinion with a grain of salt if that kind of attestation is required by you.
Raw milk is used in many countries throughout the world for cheese making including the large cheese producing countries of France, Italy, Greece, and Spain, and is considered safe to use in the USA if the cheese is matured for greater than 60 days. However this is not so in Australia. Talk about a nanny state or what!
I for one would use raw milk in cheese making at the drop of a had, only if I could get my hands on a fresh supply in my immediate area. Let the people choose for themselves. If they want to buy it, then let them. It certainly cannot be any worse than alcohol or tobacco which are legally sold. Health authorities should get a little perspective. More people probably die from road accidents in a single hour in this country than get sick from drinking raw milk, yet they still let people drive. Grow up governments, and let people choose!
After all, it is very difficult to taint fresh raw milk with melamine now isn't it? Just ask the Chinese.

Until 1925 it was known as Senate Square. In that year it was renamed Decembrists Square to mark the centenary of the Decembrist Revolt, which had taken place there.
The square is bounded by the Russian Admiralty to the east. On the west are the Imperial Senate buildings (now headquarters of the Constitutional Court of Russia). It is now a major tourist attraction as it is home to the Bronze Horseman. The square is also a major place to shoot fireworks at holidays.

Volunteer Opportunities
Communities Without Borders has been able to pursue its mission each year because we are fortunate to work with people who answer, "What can I do?" with their support.
One of the best ways to volunteer for CWB is simply to help us connect with people you know who may be interested in supporting our work.
We also have many volunteers who have knitted dolls (using our pattern) for us to take to our young students, many of whom have never had a doll. If you would like to knit a doll, we can send you a photo and a pattern wherever you are and you can contribute one or more of these cherished dolls to a young Zambian child.
Please contact us with your interest. Thank you!

M'Cheyne: Deut 31 (text | audio, 5:10 min)
Ps 119:97-120 (text | audio, 2:12 min)
Highlighted: Ps 119:102, 112
Contextualization: "When we enter a culture," writes Tim Keller, "we should be looking for two kinds of beliefs. The first are what I call 'A' beliefs, which are beliefs people already hold that, because of God's common grace, roughly correspond to some parts of biblical teaching. Because of their 'A' beliefs, people are predisposed to find plausible some of the Bible's teaching (which we may call 'A' doctrines). However, we will also find 'B' beliefs … beliefs of the culture that lead listeners to find some Christian doctrines implausible or overtly offensive. 'B' beliefs contradict Christian truth directly at points we may call 'B' doctrines" [1].
Love and Authority: In our culture, what the Bible says about God's love is welcome (an 'A' belief). Even nonbelievers love to hear Bono say things like, "I think I know what God is. God is love" [2]. This is an 'A' doctrine, a direct quote from 1 John 4:8. What the Bible says about God's authority, however, is unwelcome (a 'B' belief). Many verses in Psalm 119, for example, celebrate God's authority and word, e.g., "I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me" [3], or "I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end" [4].
Floating: How can we speak compellingly about 'B' doctrines in our culture? Keller says, "We need to 'float' 'B' doctrines on top of 'A' doctrines." That is, we need to show that 'A' and 'B' doctrines are equally true and interdependent. In The Problem of Pain, C.S. Lewis floats God's authority on God's love: "You asked for a loving God: you have one … not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way … but the consuming fire Himself, the Love that made the worlds … provident and venerable as a father's love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes." In other words, God is love, but His love is not dispassionate. He uses His authority to guide us and make us into fully flourishing human beings.
Prayer: Lord, Your love and authority are complementary, not contradictory, for you love us passionately. We confess, however, that our hearts often ask the same question that the serpent asked in the garden, "Did God really say …?" We question the loving quality of your commands. Reform us and incline our hearts to perform your statutes forever, to the end. Amen.

Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Finale Recap: Mona Is "A," Maya Might Be Dead
Anyone want some gum? In this week's pulse-pounding season finale of Pretty Little Liars (Season 2, Episode 25: "UnmAsked"), Mona's (Janel Parrish) hotel room is in dire need of housekeeping; Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) enjoys eating toffee ice cream almost as much as she enjoys acting self-superior; and we learn that "A" has teamed up with a handful of people (which is roughly the same number of people who saw the newest Eddie Murphy movie).
Wherein Hanna Chooses a Terrible Time For a Shower
No offense to Hanna (Ashley Benson), but she has terrible taste in friends, between Mona (who's "A") and Lucas (Brendan Robinson) (who's creepy, too). Come to think of it, the only person we can think of who had worst taste in friends than Hanna would be Snow White. (Seriously — Snow White voluntarily spent time with a guy who went by the name of "Grumpy"? And a guy who couldn't stop sneezing? We would have told her, "It's time to meet some new people, Snow! Try joining a book club or something.")
We loved how adorable Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) was when he surprised Hanna at the dance. Let's face it: An episode without Caleb is like a trail mix without M&M's. However, we're not sure why Hanna wanted to dress as Romeo and Juliet. Of course, knowing Hanna, she probably never actually finished reading that play, so she just assumes it has a happy ending. ("And then Romeo and Juliet got married, and then they had a lot of children, and then they moved to a retirement home in Boca Raton, Florida. The end!")
And if we're being honest, we wouldn't have judged Hanna too harshly if she had decided to actually slam her car into Mona as Mona was chasing after Spencer (Troian Bellisario), since Mona had proven to be repulsive and completely fake. (Come to think of it, "repulsive" and "completely fake" are also words that we would use to describe the new Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell.)
Wherein Aria Decides to Never Again Share Her Fro-Yo With Melissa
Is it just us, or did Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding) basically have the sexiest dance scene in history (not counting Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear in Risky Business)? And to anyone who thought that Ezra was "A," we have this to say to you: You should be ashamed, much like those scientists who release info about fried foods being bad for your heart. (In other words, we all know there's a possibility, but you don't have to say it out loud.)
And our second-favorite Aria moment was when she surprised Mary Smith Spencer by volunteering to help scope out the hotel guest book. C'mon — who doesn't love Sparia? We just wish that the word "Sparia" didn't sound like something that you could catch in a third-world country. Like, it sounds like a cross between SARS and gonorrhea. Yikes.
Wherein Emily's Grief Leaves Our Heart Shattered in a Million Tiny Pieces. (Something's Broken into a Million Pieces? Someone Get the Swiffer.)
For us, the most memorable scene was seeing Maya in a body bag (and in case you were wondering, body bags are *so* not in this season). Well, we think it's Maya, but we're hoping it's not! And on this show, you never can be sure if a character is really dead. Come to think of it, characters on this show are kinda like cargo shorts — they often keep showing up around town, even when you wish they wouldn't.
So how did Maya get in that body bag? It's probably "A"-related, since we hear Mona's watch alarm go off at midnight, just before we see the body. It's certainly conspicuous that Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) was standing in the crowd as the body gets rolled out. Was this the job of the "black swan" — and was that Melissa? (Nevermind that the girl dressed as black swan had no baby bump.) Speaking of "black swan," perhaps Natalie Portman is "A"? (However, if you ask us, nothing that "A" has done is more painful than sitting through No Strings Attached.)
Wherein Spencer Wraps Up the "A" Mystery. (Get It — "Wraps"? The Gum Wrapper? Never Mind.)
If it were up to us, would we have tried to save Mona from the edge of that cliff, as Spencer did? Fat chance (and no, us using the words "fat chance" was not intended as a Hefty Hanna reference). But it looks as though Spencer is a better person than we are. Oh, and who turns down a free piece of gum? If someone asks us if we want gum, we don't care if we're even already in the act of chewing a different piece of gum — we're taking the freakin' gum.
And come to think of it, why did Spencer believe Mona when she said she had to go to her car to get extra gum? Did Spencer think that Mona just recently went on a Costco run, and so there's a massive case of gum in her trunk? (Come to think of it, Mona presumably buys black gloves in bulk as well.)
Then again, all we really cared about with Spencer was seeing her get back together with Toby (Keegan Allen). If you weren't in tears by the time Toby delivered his line about how pretending not to love her was the hardest thing he's had to do, then it's probably because you're a robot who hasn't yet mastered human emotions.
- First of all, let's discuss the fact that Mona is "A." Sure, this is a perfectly sensible, safe choice. But is it shocking? Uh, not so much. The producers had promised that we'd be shocked by this scene, which is kinda like someone telling you that they have shocking news about bacon, and then the shocking news is: Bacon is delicious. (C'mon — everyone already knows that bacon is delicious. In fact, we wish we were eating some right now.) Plus, they told us that "A" wouldn't be the same as the person in the books and since Mona was "A" in the books we are a little disappointed.
- So because we weren't shocked by the identity of "A," the episode felt like a bit of a letdown. Who do we wish had been "A"? Gee — who knows! But since we were thinking we'd be shocked, our minds were racing to think of people who would really shock us. Say, maybe a parent. Or perhaps Simone, Aria's babysitter from Season 1. (Remember her?) Now that would have been shocking. (Random, but shocking.)
- We will admit that Mona's lair in room #2 of the Lost Woods Resort was pretty freakin' scary. But what's even scarier is thinking about how much money Mona has paid in hotel charges for that room all this time. And did Mona really need to change into her hoodie in order to attack Spencer? Maybe Mona is sorta like Superman, who can only fly while wearing his cape and tights. (Where's a phone booth these days when you need one?)
- Spencer mentions that Melissa dressed as the black swan in Philly last year, so of course we're wondering if Melissa is the black swan again. Of course, whoever was the black swan at the masquerade ball wasn't pregnant, which makes us wonder if Melissa isn't actually preggers. And if the film Baby Mama taught us anything, it's that 99% of women who claim to be pregnant are probably just faking it. (At least, we're pretty sure that's what it taught us.)
- Who knew that the word "toffee" would become a major clue? Certainly, it was no coincidence that "toffee" was both the flavor of frozen yogurt that Melissa was wolfing down, along with the color of lipstick that Crazy Mona is wearing. Is this some sort of hint that the two are working together?
- It's now apparent that someone has been controlling Mona and is in charge of this so-called "A team," but who? Our first guess would be Ali's twin, and we're thinking that Ali's twin was the person in red who visits Mona at the loony bin mental health facility. (And was anyone else hoping that the person in red would put Mona out of her misery and hold a pillow over her face, a la One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Or was that just us?)
- It was nice to see some continuation of the Dr. Sullivan storyline, but it was more than a little far-fetched that Toby somehow knew where she was hiding and was able to bring her back. That's why we're starting to wonder if Toby knows Dr. Sullivan's son (and since Toby calls her "Dr. Sullivan" on the phone, he's probably not her son himself). Could her son be Lucas?
- There are still a whole slew of questions about where Maya went and who might be responsible for her death. And we'll admit to being quite heartbroken that this is apparently the end of the road for Emaya, especially since Em wasn't able to answer Maya's call. Seriously — if anyone in the world has had worse relationship luck than Emily, then we do not envy that person.
- What is Lucas' role in all this, since he's chatting up Jenna at the dance? And what's he been doing since we last saw him? Let's just say he probably hasn't been trying out for the school's rowing team, given how slowly we saw him rowing that boat with Hanna in it back in "A Hot Piece of 'A.'" We're thinking that the Winklevoss twins from The Social Network could teach him a thing or two about rowing. (And Lucas could probably teach the Winklevoss twins a thing or two about making money from the internet.)
Other Things That Need To Be Discussed:
- So what will Ezra now do for work? We're thinking that, if he wants to work at a place that doesn't seem to have high standards about who they hire, he might consider applying for a job at the Lost Woods Resort. In fact, he and that guy Harold both: 1.) seem to enjoy quiet time alone, and 2.) are both probably registered sex offenders. (Well, we don't know for sure that Harold is a sex offender, but let's call it a hunch, shall we?)
- We almost burst into laughter when Dr. Sullivan said that Mona had a "high level of intelligence." Say what?! Uh, we'll take your word for it, Sully. We had no idea that the ability to do well on the "Showcase Showdown" of The Price is Right qualified as "high intelligence."
- Does Mona think that Hanna is only allowed to have one friend? Apparently, Mona wants Hanna to be a bigger loner than Ryan Gosling was in Lars and the Real Girl. (Sorry — give us a second while we fantasize about The Gos. [Long pause.] Okay, we're good.)
- Why was Melissa hogging Aria's fro-yo? Note to Melissa: This isn't The Hunger Games, where you either have to swipe people's food, or else subsist on chipmunk meat. (And speaking of The Hunger Games, we're thinking that Hanna and Haymitch would actually be close friends, given their mutual disrespect for authority and their love for boozin' it up.)

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Mississippi State head coach Rick Ray sensed something wasn't right with his team during the early morning walk through Wednesday morning.
It seemed to show on the court.
The Bulldogs dropped an 80-61 decision to the Alabama Crimson Tide inside Coleman Coliseum.
"I'm really disappointed in the way we came out and played," Ray said. "I thought we weren't very good in our shoot around (Wednesday). I thought we were a little loose, wasn't tied down and it carried over into the game."
The Bulldogs (11-5, 1-2) were already shorthanded and lost another player early in the game. True freshman point guard I.J. Ready left early in the game after a collision.
Ray assumes it's a concussion, but won't know anything until he talks to the doctors.
"We need him out on the court because he's a steadying influence on our team," Ray said. "He's a guy that can also make a shot and he's our best passer. Not having him out there was also a problem, but it shouldn't be a reason why you lose by 20-something points."

Steven Spielberg directing Bradley Cooper in 'American Sniper'
"American Sniper," the story of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, has found a director. Kyle died in February, but prior to his death the film rights to his book were purchased by Bradley Cooper. Cooper will star as Kyle in the movie, with director Steven Spielberg stepping in to helm the project, THR reports.
Spielberg comes to the project after his latest film, "Lincoln," was met with critical acclaim. There has been no start date announced for the movie, but both men are quite busy. Cooper is finishing up "American Hustle" for David O. Russell, and has already signed on for Cameron Crowe's next movie. Spielberg is producing "Jurassic Park 4," though he's put "Robopocalypse," which was to be his next directorial effort, on hold for the time-being.
Kelly died in a shooting at a gun range. Eddie Ray Routh, a fellow veteran reportedly suffering from PTSD, shot and killed Kyle and one other

See C. Aubert, Art of Pantomime (1927, repr. 1969); J. Lawson, Mime (1957, repr. 1973).
Pantomime (informally, panto) (not to be confused with a mime artist, referring to a theatrical performer of mime) is a performance genre traditionally found in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Ireland, and is usually performed during the Christmas and New Year season.
The style and content of modern pantomime have very clear and strong links with the Commedia dell'arte, a form of popular theatre that arose in Italy in the Early Modern Period, and which reached England by the 16th century. A "comedy of professional artists" travelling from province to province in Italy and then France, they improvised and told stories which told lessons to the crowd and changed the main character depending on where they were performing. The great clown Grimaldi transformed the format. Each story had the same fixed characters: the lovers, father, servants (one being crafty and the other stupid), etc. These roles/characters can be found in today's pantomimes.
The gender role reversal resembles the old festival of Twelfth Night, a combination of Epiphany and midwinter feast, when it was customary for the natural order of things to be reversed. This tradition can be traced back to pre-Christian European festivals such as Samhain and Saturnalia.
The Pantomime first arrived in England as entr'actes between opera pieces, eventually evolving into separate shows.
In Restoration England, a pantomime was considered a low form of opera, rather like the Commedia dell'arte but without Harlequin (rather like the French Vaudeville). In 1717, actor and manager John Rich introduced Harlequin to the British stage under the name of "Lun" (for "lunatic") and began performing wildly popular pantomimes. These pantomimes gradually became more topical and comic, often involving as many special theatrical effects as possible. Colley Cibber and his colleagues competed with Rich and produced their own pantomimes, and pantomime was a substantial (if decried) subgenre in Augustan drama. According to some sources, the Lincoln's Inn Field Theatre and the Drury Lane Theatre were the first to stage something like real pantomimes (in the later sense that has become codified with its fairly rigid set of conventions) creating high competition between them to create the more elaborate show. As manager of Drury Lane in the 1870s, Augustus Harris is now considered the father of modern pantomime. This form had virtually died out by the end of the 19th century.
There seems to be some scholarly disagreement as to exactly when the true pantomime genre gets started. According to one eminent authority, Russell A. Peck (the John Hall Deane Professor of English at the University of Rochester ),"The first Cinderella Pantomime in England was the 1804 production at Drury Lane, dir. Mr. Byrne," with music by Michael Kelly (1762-1826). This date would seem too early for panto in its mature form, with its extensive adherence to a set of conventions including the pantomime dame role, the principal boy played by a young woman, the animal-costume roles, audience participation, etc. But if Peck means that this was the first pantomime in England in the older sense of "low opera", then his date seems too late, for he seems to disregard the fact that pantomime as "low opera" had already arisen in Restoration-era England, considerably prior to 1804. But of course, this date only applies to pantomime productions of the Cinderella tale, not of other tales. Yet even limiting this claim to Cinderella, one finds that other sources give 1870 as the date of the first Cinderella pantomime in England (see below).
Traditionally performed at Christmas, with family audiences consisting mainly of children and parents, British pantomime is now a popular form of theatre, incorporating song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick, in-jokes, audience participation, and mild sexual innuendo. There are a number of traditional story-lines, and there is also a fairly well-defined set of performance conventions. Lists of these items follow, along with a special discussion of the "guest celebrity" tradition, which emerged in the late 19th century.
The most popular titles are:
The form has a number of conventions, some of which have changed or weakened a little over the years, and by no means all of which are obligatory.
Until the decline of the British music hall tradition by the late 1950s, many popular artists played in pantomimes across the country. Many modern pantomimes use popular artists to promote the pantomime, and the play is often adapted to allow the star to showcase their well-known act, even when such a spot has little relation to the plot, for example, Rolf Harris might perform Jake the Peg in a pantomime about Aladdin.
Nowadays, a pantomime occasionally pulls off a coup by engaging a guest star with an unquestionable thespian reputation, as was the case with the Christmas 2004 production of Aladdin that featured Sir Ian McKellen as Widow Twankey, which he reprised in the 2005 production at the Old Vic theatre in London.
As well as being an actor in the Shakespearean tradition, McKellen had become hugely famous with children as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and Magneto in X-Men. "At least we can tell our grandchildren that we saw McKellen's Twankey and it was huge," said Michael Billington, theatre critic of The Guardian, December 20, 2004, entering into the pantomime spirit of double entendre. In recent times, the in pantomimes have featured soap stars, comedians or former sportsmen rather as celebrity attractions, supplemented by jobbing actors and pantomime specialists.
The recently renovated Hackney Empire has presented an enormously successful and highly regarded panto with multi-racial cast since 1988.
York's Theatre Royal pantomime features no guest celebrities, but a regular cast headed by Berwick Kaler, who has played the dame there for 27 years.
Christopher Biggins has been a pantomime dame for 38 years running until 2007 when his attendance on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! made it impossible for him to do a panto that year. In Canterbury, the Marlowe Theatre, it is their tradition to have a famous person from "Eastenders" or "Neighbours", which are both popular soap operas.
In summer of 1974 "The Old Vic" performed "Jack and the Beanstalk" on a double bill with Euripides' "Bacchae" at the Edinburgh Festival. "Jack and the Beanstalk" was the perfect antidote to the passionate violence of Euripides' tragedy.
"The Adventures of Goldilockpick and Little Red Riding Hoodlum" is one of a string of fractured pantos by North Queensland playwright Todd Barty.
On the other hand it is probably fair to say that the familiarity of young Australians with the genre has declined rather than risen since the middle of the last century, for all manner of reason
Since 1996 [3], Ross Petty has been producing "Fractured Fairy Tale Musicals" at Toronto's Elgin Theatre. These shows are firmly in the old English pantomime tradition, incorporating many of the style's elements—broad comedy, winking asides that break the "fourth wall", audience participation and a man in a dress, often Mr. Petty himself.
The guest stars are chosen to be of fun and interest to Toronto audiences, and include Canadian TV stars (Ernie Coombs, better known as Mr. Dressup]], Sheila McCarthy, two of the Degrassi kids) ballet stars (Karen Kain, Frank Augustyn, Rex Harrington and athletes (Olympic skater Kurt Browning, WWE wrestler Bret Hart).
The list of shows produced is also in keeping with panto tradition: Peter Pan, Cinderella, Aladdin, Robin Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Snow White.
Among recent American revivals (or transplantings) of the genre, the Hideout Players in Chicago have now presented two Christmas pantomimes which stay true to the English form. Jon Langford, a British singer and artist, plays the pantomime dame, and a pantomime whale ("Moby Duck," half-whale/half-duck) has eaten the villain on both occasions. The genre has also resurfaced in Baltimore, with a 2007-8 Christmas season panto production of Puss in Boots at the Theatre Project receiving favorable review in that city's paper of record, the Sun. According to the Sun, panto is "a theatrical style that Roger Brunyate [artistic director of the Peabody Opera Theatre at the Peabody Institute], who wrote and directed this newly conceived Puss in Boots, remembers from his childhood in the United Kingdom." New York City's Pantomonium Productions has staged annual pantomimes since 2004, providing over 50% of tickets free to underprivileged communities in the New York Metro area.
As for the earliest pantomime productions in the US, the above-cited Professor Peck of the University of Rochester lists Cinderella pantomime productions in New York (March 1808), New York again (August 1808), Philadelphia (1824), and Baltimore (1839) But it is doubtful to what extent these early productions resembled pantomime by its current definition in England, which dates from about the last third of the 19th century.
Many theatres in cities and provincial towns throughout the United Kingdom continue to have an annual pantomime.
Pantomime is very popular with Amateur Dramatics societies throughout the UK, and the Pantomime season (roughly speaking, December to February) will see pantomime productions in many village halls and similar venues across the country.

Governor Announces Medicaid Expansion Plan
There are 650,000 people on Medicaid in Colorado, about 13% of the state population, but the publicly-funded health program doesn't cover ev
Today we're looking back at Governor Bill Ritter's term in office. This time specifically at his impact on health care. Our Health Reporter Eric Whitney has this assessment.
When Governor Ritter and the legislature wrote this year's state budget last spring, they included $212 million in extra money from the federal government.
The governor toured Israel to learn about energy and water projects. He hopes the relationships he forged might eventually yield jobs for Coloradans.
Community clinics are just regular health clinics, with one important caveat: they serve whoever comes through the door, insured, uninsured or just flat broke.
Ritter continues to grapple with Colorado's financial problems.

Can throw only so many meatballs before the center one.
worst pitch of the game and now we're down.
Is it "next season" yet?
That's what i was afraid over a pure power bat waiting on Bronson to go super slow.
Easy come, easy go.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
When Bronson loses it, he loses it.

Still, 2 runs and 6 innings....fantastic from Bronson. And now we're in the cards pen. I like our chances.

'Glee': Watch Britney Spears' cameos, read her tweets
Britney Spears didn't have to sing and dance in her "Glee" tribute episode, but if you watched closely, you got to see her, and if you were on Twitter, you got to read her comments.
The pop star appeared in at least three cameos that we could catch, and then she live-tweeted the "Britney/Brittany" episode on West Coast time Tuesday night (Sept. 28).
In the first clip above, she meets her New Directions counterpart Brittany (Heather Morris) in a dental, drug-induced fantasy sequence. How weird is it that Britney is talking to Brittany about her breath?
Before getting into the other cameos (or you can just skip to the end of the post), here are the tweets that Spears posted while watching "Glee":
- "Awww Heather Morris is sooo cute! Brittany S Pearce. Ha! She was so fun to work with and was really sweet in person."
- "John Stamos is still hot! He looks the same as he did on Full House."
- "I like Kurt's bow tie. Bow ties are sexy..."
- "I hate anesthesia!"
- "Slave: Oh...My...God...!"
- "I know how hard it is to dance with that snake! Nice job...."
- "The Me Against The Music set looks just like the original. Santana does a great Madonna impression."
- "Watching Baby brings back so many memories! Feels like yesterday...."
- "That's a serious afro ya'll!"
- "Kurt wears some pretty fabulous outfits."
- "Jane Lynch scares me."
- "I love this version of Stronger. Artie did a great job."
- "The GLEE version of Toxic is amazing!"
- "Jane Lynch is hilarious and scary all rolled into one."
- "Rachel has a beautiful voice."
- "I loved it! Thank you guys SO much for making this happen!"
Okay, as promised here's Spears' second cameo -- in which she wears a Cheerios uniform and lets the kids in on a great pizza topping:
And finally, our favorite one, for "Baby One More Time":

Allergy treatment can help children who have allergies and who also have frequent ear infections. Allergy testing isn't suggested unless children have signs of allergies.
Some people use herbal remedies, such as echinacea and garlic oil capsules, to treat ear infections. There is no scientific evidence that these therapies work. If you are thinking about using these therapies for your child's ear infection, talk with your doctor.

Tiger parts are still being widely sold in Sumatra, Indonesia, warns a new report. However, with tiger numbers dwindling, the illegal trade is looking like an increasingly unsustainable, as well as unsavoury, business.
Traffic, a wildlife monitoring network which works with WWF and the World Conservation Union, says the number of Sumatran tigers that are being illegally poached and sold is dropping. But that is not good news.
The group surveyed 326 shops across the Indonesian island of Sumatra in 2006 and found that 33 were selling body parts amounting to at least 23 tigers.
"This is down from an estimate of 52 killed per year in 1999-2000," says Julia Ng, lead author on new report. "Sadly, the decline appears to be due to the dwindling number of tigers left in the wild."
Conservation groups say the Indonesian government is not doing enough to protect the tiger subspecies despite ample evidence of their decline.
Lucky charm
Tiger body parts, including canine teeth, claws, skin and whiskers, are believed to bring good luck to those who wear them and to give protection from black magic. The bones of the right front paw are sometimes "infused" in a glass of warm water, which is then drunk to treat headaches.
With fewer than 500 individuals left in the wild, the Sumatran tiger is classed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union. To help protect it, Traffic ran a first survey of shops between 1999 and 2002. The names and addresses of the outlets selling tiger parts at the time were handed over to Indonesian authorities.
"If Indonesian authorities need enforcement help from the international community they should ask for it. If not, they should demonstrate they are taking enforcement seriously," says Heather Sohl of WWF.
Progress may be on its way, however - in December 2007, the Indonesian president announced a 10-year strategy to protect the Sumatran tiger.

Suicide By Cock
Remember the famous author Yukio Mishima? Remember when he committed ritual seppuku (what we call hari-kari), stabbing himself to prove a point? That's the same thing these girls are doing, sacrificing their tiny Asian pussies. Allowing their dainty bodies to be stabbed by big, hard American cocks. Sacrificing their wombs so that you can get off. It is a sacred thing they're doing, so we hope you appreciate it. When they allow their faces to be coated with thick globs of stinging sperm, you should offer up your own seed in tribute.

Duke has agreed to a contract extension with coach David Cutcliffe, who has the Blue Devils bowl eligible for the first time in nearly two decades. The school announced the agreement Wednesday. It will run through June 2019, though contract terms were not released. The fifth-year coach - who was Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator at Tennessee and Eli Manning's head coach at Mississippi - had been mentioned as a possible candidate for several coaching jobs after leading Duke (6-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) to bowl eligibility for the first time since 1994. The Blue Devils were also in the mix for the league's Coastal Division championship into November and close the regular season against Miami this weekend. In a statement, athletic director Kevin White said school officials are ''extremely excited, if not euphoric!'' when looking into the program's future. ''To be sure, `Coach Cut' represents just a great fit at Duke,'' White said. ''David and the staff have done an exe...

Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter
|Mission type
|Launch date
|Launch vehicle
|H-IIA204 as part of the Trojan Asteroid Explorer-cruise stage
|Mission duration
|at least 9 years
|Orbital insertion date
|Orbital elements
The Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter (木星磁気圏オービター,JMO) is an orbiter probe proposed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), as the Japanese contribution to the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM). JMO will be carried to Jupiter by the Jupiter and Trojan asteroid exploration (Trojan Asteroid Explorer), and once the mother spacecraft arrives in the Jovian system, the JMO probe will be separated and insert itself into Jupiter orbit. The mother space craft will continue its orbit toward the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. The JMO will cooperate with European Space Agency (ESA)'s JUICE (JUpiter ICy moon Explorer) probe, which will be launched during the same launch window with JMO.
Mission overview[edit]
JMO is currently planned to be launched in 2019 or 2020, attached to its mother spacecraft, the Jupiter and Trojan asteroid explorer. It will be inserted into Jupiter orbit in 2026 following its separation from the Jupiter and Trojan asteroids exploration.
Former plans[edit]
As of 2007, the spacecraft was slated for a lift-off in 2020 together with ESA's Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter (JGO) from which it will undock upon its arrival at Jupiter in 2025/2026.[1] JMO was planned to undertake detailed in-situ studies of the magnetosphere of Jupiter as a template for an astrophysical magnetised disk and affording the opportunity for "3-point" investigations of the Jupiter system via synergistic observations with JGO and NASA's Jupiter Europa Orbiter (JEO).
The size and weight of the JMO is extremely limited since it has to fit inside its carrier spacecraft. Due to this, the JMO can only carry up to 10 kg of payloads, allowing it to have only 2 to 3 scientific instruments. No matter what kind of innovative technology is available, it is impossible to conduct in situ observations with such a limited number of instruments. In order to solve the mysteries of the Jovian magnetosphere effectively with limited instruments, and to conduct observations never made before, the space craft will have a X-ray imaging spectroscope, featuring different wavelengths from instruments onboard NASA's Juno probe.[2]

Re: jack or nokia e71x?

Actually Windows Mobile doesn't suck. You just have to realize that just like regular Windows on your PC, you have to reformat and start fresh at regular intervals. I had an original Q9h, and even with being diligent and running SKtools everyday it still got slow. I updated with Win Mobile 6.1 and poof back up to speed. Now I reformat with Win Mobile 6.1 every 2 months. I've backed up everything and it takes me about 45 min and everything is back on and fresh.
You are making my point for me. I am definitely no Apple fanboy, but I haven't had to do a refresh of my OS in the almost year that I have had my phone. One of my biggest pet peeves about WinMo is that I have to wipe my phone and reload it at regular intervals. I shouldn't have to do that. Don't get me wrong, as a work phone, the iPhone falls short, but at least I don't have app freezes and memory leaks. I would love for MS to finally release a good, stable build of WinMo so I could more easily do my job, but it's been almost 10 years and they haven't figured it out yet.

Food not tasty and not even worth for the money we spent. We ordered for Baingan bartha with rotis and Solman fried fish. They charged $26 dollars but served only few small pieces with yukky taste. Not even worth $5.00. Baingan partha was not fresh and not tasty.

I went to this restaurant for their lunch buffet and had a bad experience with their food and service. Foods were just tasteless! Worse was the service. I will never recommend anybody to go to this place, at least for their buffet.

We had never been to Rajaji before. We just took our chance and thanks heavens we were not at all disappointed. We were worried about Parking. On our asking about the Parking we were told that there was a nearby parking. We had already paid the parking fee when the concerned server asked us if we got the parking place and whether we brought the ticket which Rajaji would stamp so that we would not be charged. We were really touched by his concern. As for Food we found it very tasty, the service was excellent. The staff took good care of us. Overall good value for money. We would definitely recommend it.
Posted by anonymous from CT on 07/28/2011
We were there over fourth weekend of July 11; service is very disappointing and seems that the person who took our order was confused. They have served one dish that was cooked a day prior and when we have complained, they have admitted the mistake. Not recommending anyone for wasting time and money.
Posted by anonymous on 04/19/2011
poorest quality of indian food i ever experienced in a buffet in US. food smells foul in the buffet. not worth the money. i will never in my life will go there again and also wont recommend to anyone . not much variety of dishes in the buffet.
Posted by grace07 on 08/20/2008
I've eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. The servers are friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The food varies in spiciness, though beware if you ask for *very* spicy. I once was unable to finish a dish because I felt as though my mouth was on fire. Other than that one incident, food is very flavorful and fresh. Definitely recommended!

HOUSTON – Leigh Lattimore picked up where she left off two weeks ago, taking home an individual crown as the Lamar men's and women's cross country teams competed at the Justin F. Cooper Memorial Rice Invitational.
Lattimore, who was part of the winning duo at last month's McNeese Relays, beat out Texas A&M's Karis Jochen by seven seconds to finish the four-kilometer event in 14:30.
As a team, the Lady Cardinals came in third with 80 points. The Aggies won the event with 29, and Rice was second with 64.
The trio of Louise Webb, Kayla de Bondt and Rachel Robinson finished 19th, 20th and 21st, respectively, with times of 15:46, 15:51 and 15:52.
Claire Arnold rounded out the scoring for the women five seconds later, ending 23rd at 15:57.
Megan Flanagan finished 35th at 16:07, and Belinda Aguilar clocked in at 16:59 to finish 67th. Kaitlynn Warren was 70th at 17:05.
Matt Johnsen led the men with a seventh place finish, completing the six-kilometer course in 17:00, and Sam Stabler was just six seconds off his pace, coming in 10th.
Rice took home the event crown with 77, and Texas A&M was second with 87.
Ash Harrell ended 18th at 17:22, Ryan Creech was 25th at 17:31, and Sean Guiney rounded out the scoring at 17:42, placing 33rd.
Also competing were Matt Jackson (48th, 17:56), Michael Kershaw (49th, 17:56), Sean Chalmers (60th, 18:07) and Chris Jones (87th, 18:40).
Both teams will return to action at next month's Notre Dame Invitational.

From what I have read and see I see the following scenerio taking place.
Tim Cook would be the top dog CEO, Scott Forestall would be the spokesman, In fact of all the execs at Apple Forestall seems to be the one being groomed at the "face of Apple." Truth be told I actually enjoy his presentations more than jobs. He is a bit less "radical" but "sells Apple" in a very teaching manor.
I'm not sure how Shiller fits into this. He definitely has to take a high leadership role but I could watch Keynotes with Forestall all day. I feel as though I have learned more about Apple products, OSX and iPhone programming than I have sitting in any class I have been in and he definitely makes it clear "why" Apple is better than the competition.
Apple After Steve Jobs?
Though somewhat morbid, if only in a stock
manipulation market sense, due to both Apple's phenomenal -- and resurgent -- success under the leadership of Steve Jobs, and the health issues faced by Jobs in the past, every time the man behind the Apple steps up on stage looking... well... whatever the vegan opposite is to Steve Ballmer's manbull big, rumors and speculation they begin to fly.
But how do you choose Steve Jobs' successor? What if you miss? Fortune shows us, joining the fray this time with a "Usual Suspects" type list, complete with PR pics and wikipedia hits, but wrapped together well and each given a somewhat considered ranking in the Jobs pool. (And for those of us who don't park outside Cupertino with a surveillance van, a few surprises might lurk in the sequence as well).
Of course, if they'd combined the crazy rumors of Ballmer getting the heave-ho from Microsoft following the PR disaster of Vista and stalled Micro-Hoo! negotiations, and pegged him as Jobs' obvious, if in first name only, successor... well that would have at least been ballsy and quite a bit more entertaining.
In the end, however, while Jobs is no doubt worth billions in ever-fickle market cap to increasingly capricious investors -- perhaps more than any other CEO active today -- the whole topic still comes off as a little on the gossipy side of TMZ.
Besides, we all know Kaiser Jobso will just whip up a clone eventually anyway, and show these would be successors what succession really is... And like that -- boom! -- they'd be gone.
