Thanks. I am liking Washoku En a bit more from a quick online search. We don't drink, so we're singularly focused on the food. Thanks so much

Hi all - we will be in Ginza staying at the Courtyard. We are open as to atmosphere, we just want quality food.
And I have dug into archives - that is why I listed those places in the beginning. It is getting late for me to send for reservations so any updates today would be great. Thanks.

Going to add Kondo for tempura too...and possibly Daisan Harumi for another sushi place. Likely L'As also. Any other thoughts?
First time visitor to China and going to Kunming for 2 nights. Any advice on non-southern Chinese favorites there? We're into flavorful/spicy more than fishy. Thanks

Thinking of asking my hotel concierge to try and book me and my wife here. Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts? What am I missing?
We ideally want 2 or so high-end options and then the rest medium. We're in Tokyo for 4 nights.

We also are thinking of Fuku and Rokurinsha but if you have any other ramen places let me know too. Thanks
Suggestions please!
So any updates Kaijuqueen and Lau?? Tell us what is good in Tokyo!
Quick early dinner or Lunch to go between Lansing and Dtw??

I have some time to kill and I will be downtown around sunrise. Any killer breakfast (preferably with a Mexican slant) places with a great view? Outdoor seating ideal.
Any good, cheap mexican near JW Marriott Desert Ridge?
Looking for good, cheap mexican or southwestern near JW Marriott Desert Ridge..help!

Having a lunch with all ages and wondering if there's a place for 10-12 people to have BBQ in a nice atmosphere. Normally I could care less about atmosphere but the mother in law will be with us! Any good suggestions? We're open to anywhere in Chicago, ideally with decent parking. Thanks

Help! Tonight's dinner? Salpicon, Mexique, Quartino or??
Just got back from Tanta - was pretty good. Glad we tried it. Ordered the pork fried rice (good, but a tad sweet), ceviche w/ahi tuna and avocado (excellent), half chicken and sides (very good), causitas w/crab (so-so---needed lime), and quinoa salad (good). Probably wouldn't go again given the dining options in Chicago but overall we were glad we went. Clearly they're still working out kinks as a new restaurant since service was good but slightly spotty.
Great recommendation - thanks again! Now for our next meal, I don't have a reso for Frontera but would like to go!
Help! Tonight's dinner? Salpicon, Mexique, Quartino or??
Love the Recc for Tanta - been meaning to try it. Just snagged the last 6:30 one. Thanks!!

What's good on the Sunshine Coast right now?
Doesn't seem to be a lot of choices out there. Smitty's seems to be what people like, but other reviews are not so good. We are 12 people, all ages, and want a very, very good restaurant (ideally seafood).
Any recommendations also for a great brunch/breakfast place and a market to buy FRESH fish/seafood for grilling would be great too.

Nice "Different" Dinner Maybe 30-45 Min from Boston? Farm?
Thanks all. OK don't kill me. After an underwhelming experience at Cider Hill Farms (terrible apples left; none with a good taste), we went to Stonewall Kitchen and sampled our way to heaven and became too full for dinner! So we drove home, slept, and woke up at 10pm hungry for something spicy and flavorful. Myers and Chang did the trick - the Tigers Tears were excellent. But we will keep these suggestions for next time!

Nice "Different" Dinner Maybe 30-45 Min from Boston? Farm?
Looking for a nice dinner for 2 tonight away from the urban jungle (we live next door to Hungry Mother but don't want to go somewhere so close to home).
Somewhere like Gibbet Hill Grill maybe? We've never been there but the menu looks boring (http://www.gibbethillgrill.com/menu-w...). We'd love some good fall flavors, pumpkin, and some creativity.
The default may be Market at the W in Boston since we've never been, but we prefer something further away from the city that is a little calmer.
Ideas? We're going apple picking now! Thanks.

2 Days in Tofino - rate my choices
Final report: Cyn at night was pretty good (brisket was succulant, shrimp & gnocchi special was too spicy and a bit overwhelming). Their desserts of chocolate ravioli, plum gnocchi and spicy chocolate macaroons were the standout! They are still ironing out some kinks but it was good.
And brunch at the Pointe was awesome. Impeccable food and view.
Overall a great time in Tofino!

Quick mid-trip report:
SOBO blew us away. Halibut with the best gnocchi I've had in North America (mind you I've lived in SF, NYC, DC, and Italy). Best fish I've also had in a very, very long time. Awesome ceviche starter also. The place was a hit with our group of 6 skeptical foodies.
Tacofino was excellent as well. I recommend the cookie and lemon/ginger slush (normally I'd get the other flavor they had - lime mint - but something drew me to lemon/ginger and I was rewarded).
Trying Cyn tonight..and then the Pointe (Wick) for brunch tomorrow. Will report back.

The Isolation of Friend Virus Protein by Zonal Centrifugation
Gilbreath, Michael Joye
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectFriend virus; Zonal centrifuge; Viral proteins
The problem. Isolation of Friend virus protein in an increased yield for immunological purposes by zonal centrifugation was the purpose of this experiment. Procedure. Sucrose gradient zonal centrifugation was used to isolate Friend virus polysomes. The concentration of the polysomes and the removal of the sucrose was accomplished by ultrafiltration. Puromycin was used to release the nascent viral protein from the polysomes isolated, and the nascant protein was separated from the polysomes by centrifugation and then concentrated using ultrafiltration. Findings. 1480 mg of protein was isolated from 30 Friend virus infected mice spleens. This amount was significantly more than the amount expected. Aggregates of soluble protein are believed to have sedimented along with polysomes and these proteins may contaminate the Friend virus protein isolated. Only partial release of the nascent protein was obtained in this study. Conclusion. The use of sucrose as a separating medium does not separate large aggregates of soluble protein from the polysomes during zonal centrifugation. The use of puromycin in large amounts to release a usable quantity of nascent protein may make this method impractical due to high cost. Recommendations. Cesium chloride should be used in place of sucrose in zonal centrifugation in an effort to separate the aggregates of soluble protein from the polysomes. An attempt to increase the release of nascent protein with puromycin should be made. The isolated protein should be innoculated into BALB/c mice to ascertain the effectiveness of the viral protein as an immunizing agent and the possible deleterious effect of the contaminating soluble protein.

Copyright Insanity: School Policy Requires Students Hand Over Copyright On All Work
from the that-test-you-got-a-C-on?-school's-copyright dept
The school board claims it's doing this to keep up with the times -- especially the growing use of things like electronic curricula created by teachers, but obviously the policy goes way beyond that. Of course, we've seen other schools get greedy and seek to copyright and sell off curricula created by teachers. And that's already a crazy idea. But to have students' work included as well is (rightfully) angering a number of people.
Either way, this is yet another example of the insanity created by "ownership society," in which people are being fed the ridiculous line that all ideas and information can and should be "owned" thanks to things like copyright and patents. Is it any wonder that now our public schools even going down to elementary schools, are seeking the "rights" to student creations in order to create for profit ventures? This is a public school system, a place in which knowledge is supposed to be shared for the sake of learning. And the lesson they're sending is that information is to be hoarded by powerful entities for the sake of profits. Shameful.

AOL Threatens Blogger With Copyright Infringement Charge... For Doing The Exact Same Thing AOL Has Done On A Large Scale
from the shameful dept
Enter, Maryland Juice. A local Maryland blog, which recently had a post about some happenings in Montgomery County, which included relatively large excerpts of parts of an article from Patch, another property owned by AOL. It also included an image from the article. The Maryland Juice article included a significant amount of commentary about the article and, in particular, the photo, which was used to illustrate the point (that it was not a representative sample of county residents at the local meeting). And, yet... AOL lawyers sent a cease and desist letter:
As owner of the Content, AOL has the obligation to prevent the improper use of its proprietary material. Before pursuing any additional avenues to remove the Infringing Content, we are demanding that MarylandJuice.com take immediate steps to remove Patch's image and either 1) display no more than a 1-2 sentence snippet of this Content, with credit explicitly given as well as a link back to the full article available at http://wheatonmd. patch.com/articles/proposed-rule-change-for-accessory-apartments-meets-opposition ; or 2) remove and disable access to all Infringing Content, and agree to never repost or use the Infringing Content or any other AOL Content, absent compliance with the third-party use guidelines identified above.David, the Maryland Juice blogger, explains how excerpting, discussing and linking is all part of being neighborly online, and tells AOL to shove off, claiming fair use. Of course, you know who should know an awful lot about this kind of thing? Yeah, AOL and HuffPo. You see, a few years ago, when HuffPo tried to do its own "hyper local site," it was accused of doing more or less the exact same thing (but with less commentary, and more copying):
But, apparently, when someone does it to AOL, it's no longer okay? Now that's hypocritical.
And seeding HuffPo Chicago is a scheme whereby the publication takes some — in many cases all — of the content from another site, with a link back to the original.
The result is quick and easy traffic for the new Chicago edition, since the publication ends up catching some Google searches for keywords contained in the (Chicago-related) articles it takes. HuffPo already has good Google PageRank, so its own version of the content floats to the top of the results, even though it was not the original source.
HuffPo's justification, at least when the publication was pulling this crap with us, taking the entirety of our RSS feeds, was that the reprinted posts were good promotion, since they included (a totally buried) backlink to the original content on our site.

The CISPA Circus Goes To Baltimore With Another Misleading 'Local Pride' Editorial
from the maryland-versus-china dept
Recently, I responded to an editorial by CISPA author Mike Rogers in the Detroit News, wherein he took some blatant China fearmongering and targeted it at Michigan's specific industry concerns to rouse the local rabble in CISPA's favor. Now Rep. Ruppersberger—the other driving force behind the bill—is applying the same tactic in Maryland, with an editorial in the Baltimore Sun that focuses on the supposed cyber-threat to the life sciences industry:
Here in Maryland, for example, our growing life sciences sector has generated one-third of all job gains over the last 10 years. It's now supporting more than $9.6 billion in salaries for Maryland families and contributes nearly $500 million to incomes and sales tax revenues each year.
The 500 bioscience companies in Maryland are developing ground-breaking therapies for diseases like muscular dystrophy, inventing state-of-the-art medical devices and testing cutting-edge vaccines. These innovations are valuable and worth protecting. Indeed, just like designer handbags or secret family recipes, many want to imitate — and even duplicate — such successes.
For decades, countries like China have been using every means possible to steal the ideas of American corporations. Today, thousands of highly trained Chinese, Russian and Iranian hackers are pilfering our trade secrets by breaking into the computer networks of U.S. corporations. And we're leaving the door unlocked for them.
Something seems off about comparing the desire to copy new disease therapies with the desire to make knockoff handbags, but I guess that was just meant to clarify things for anyone who didn't understand why ground-breaking medical research is valuable. Of more concern is his statement that the door is left "unlocked"—a blatant exaggeration that makes it sound like CISPA's data-sharing provisions are the difference between airtight security and no security at all, even though security experts question whether CISPA would have any real impact. He then goes on to do exactly what I criticized Rogers for doing, by focusing in on the one (supposedly) useful and genuine cybersecurity aspect of the bill while ignoring the rest:
Currently, the U.S government can identify malicious computer code that could be an incoming cyber attack on a government or corporate network. But the law won't allow us to share this information with private companies so that they can protect themselves.
That's why House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican, and I have crafted the Cyber Intelligence and Sharing Protection Act (H.R. 3523), which the House overwhelmingly passed this month in a bipartisan vote. This common-sense bill will simply allow the federal government and American companies to share suspicious computer code. Despite recent media reports, the bill does not authorize the government to monitor your computer use or read your email, Tweets or Facebook posts. Nor does it authorize the government to shut down websites or require companies to turn over personal information.
This is just a bunch of half-truths, semantics and disingenuous statements. Firstly, while there may be some data sharing the government wants to do that is currently blocked by the law, there are also existing mechanisms that allow some sharing to happen. Rather than carve out specific exceptions to the specific laws that are getting in the way, CISPA creates broad immunity provisions that wipe out all existing privacy concerns.
Secondly, the bill does not "simply" allow what Ruppersberger says it allows. CISPA's definition of the information that can be shared allows for much more than just "suspicious computer code," instead potentially including all sorts of tangential data related to a network attack—which, yes, could include lots of personal information. CISPA also does not limit the government to using this information for merely technical purposes related to cybersecurity—it permits them to dig through whatever data they collect for evidence of certain types of crime. You'll notice that investigating violent crime and child exploitation (both specifically listed in the text of CISPA) are not mentioned anywhere in this editorial.
Thirdly, while both of Ruppersberger's assertions about what the bill "does not authorize" the government to do are technically accurate, only the latter is giving the full story. It's true that CISPA does not permit the government to shut down websites or require information from companies—but as for monitoring people and reading their communications, as I just described, it's a bit more complicated. No, CISPA does not allow the government to go out and monitor whoever they wish, but it does allow them to thoroughly mine whatever data is given to them—data that will undoubtedly include private information.
For good measure, Ruppersberger throws in some more fearmongering about terrorist hackers taking down power grids (even though CISPA doesn't include anything that would let the government put a common sense regulation in place, like, say, don't connect power grids to the internet) before circling back to the talking-point of Maryland's valuable medical research. Like Rogers, he plays up the imminence of the threat, claiming "it wouldn't take years from China to steal it all from us" and in fact "it could happen in mere keystrokes"—as if at any moment someone could just select "U.S. Economy" and press delete.
I have a feeling this won't be the last of these locally-focused editorials from the pro-CISPA camp. I'm rooting for a Las Vegas feature on the need to protect casino secrets, because while it would surely still be inaccurate and misleading, it might at least be interesting.

Public Health Official Forced To Shut Up On Twitter, Blog For Daring To Speak Honestly
from the real-names? dept
However, he recently got into a Twitter discussion in which he defended vaccinations. I recognize this is a touchy subject to some, but only to those who don't pay attention to what the science actually says (or those who ignore that the main report anti-vaccination folks use was later found to be fraudulent). Given the serious health problems created by parents now refusing to vaccinate their children due to clueless anti-scientific fear-mongering, you would think that a government Department of Health would be thrilled that one of its employees was defending vaccinations and talking back to someone who was arguing against vaccines.
Instead, however, it appears that after the guy he was arguing with sent a barrage of emails to higher ups at the agency, Najera was told to stop "all social networking activity related to public health."
I think the bigger issue is that a Department of Health would reprimand him for such actions and tell him to stop speaking about public health issues. Does the Department of Health really prefer that the actual experts stay out of these discussions, leaving them to those who aren't informed?

Maryland Corrections Agency Demanding All Social Media Passwords Of Potential Hires
from the privacy? dept
Apparently not everyone in local government was paying attention.
The ACLU is apparently taking on the case of a Maryland man who applied to be "re-certified" for a job with the Maryland Department of Corrections, after he had taken a brief leave. As a part of the interview process, he was required to hand over his Facebook password. Apparently, the Department of Corrections is now requiring all social media account info, including passwords, as a part of their "background check" process. In at least this case, the guy in question was told not to change his password for a few months -- leading to all sorts of questions about what private info state officials might look into while logged into his account. The ACLU sent a letter (pdf) to the Maryland Corrections Dept. noting that it believed the policy was "a frightening and illegal invasion of privacy," and a clear violation of the Stored Communications Act. The ACLU letter also demanded that the Maryland Department of Corrections rescind this policy.
It appears that Maryland's response to all of this has been to totally ignore the letter. The ACLU waited three weeks, and after receiving no response at all, has gone public with the story. I would imagine that a lawsuit will soon follow.

Judge Tosses Out Wiretapping Charges Against Motorcyclist Who Filmed Cop With Helmet Cam

Thankfully, in that case in Maryland, a judge has tossed out the wiretapping claims pointing out that there was no expectation of privacy out in public.
"Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public," the judge wrote. "When we exercise that power in public fora, we should not expect our actions to be shielded from public observation."This seems so obvious that it's troubling it needed to even go this far.

Maryland Judge Declares Pontiac G8 GT's Factory Taillights Illegal; Tells Car Owner To Get A Different Car [Updated: Or Maybe Not...]
from the judge-this dept
Went to court for my clear tail lights on my car and was found guilty!Nice to know that the officer and the judge seem to know better than everyone else, including the Department of Transportation...
The judge actualy told me she didn't care what the manufacturer said, what the federal govt said, what the DOT # stamped onto my taillights said if the officer says my lights aren't legal then they're not legal. I took the G8 sales brochure in along with pics of my car and other G8 GT's and the VIN trace by 3 different dealers saying my lights were factory none of it mattered she found me guilty of failing to display or reflect red light on the rear of the car. Didn't matter the reflecters were in the bumper, didn't matter where the light is has that little red circle, the whole lens isn't red so they're not legal. Also where the back-up and turn signals are should be the reflectors according to the cop so the V6 cars lights aren't legal either.
Judge stupid went on to tell me that maybe I should consider trading in or selling the car since its not legal in MD and that I'm going to continue to get the $60 tickets till I get rid of the car.

Maryland Police Confiscate Biker's Computers After He Catches Questionable Activity On Helmet Cam
from the that's-not-how-this-is-supposed-to-work dept
"A motorcyclist was showboating and recording himself doing it using a helmet cam. While stopped at a stop light, an off duty police officer stepped out of his (unmarked) car with his gun drawn. The rider received a citation and posted the whole episode on YouTube. 4 days later MD state police seized his computers and helmet cam and threatened to arrest him because it is illegal to record someone without their consent."You can see a long version of the events (without any sound) which shows the 3 minutes leading up to the incident here:
Or if you want to just see the part where the off duty cop pulls the gun (with sound), it's here:
The laws against audibly recording someone without their permission are not designed for situations like this one. They're designed for eavesdropping or things like recording phone calls. Using such a law to crack down on a guy showing an off-duty police officer totally overreacting to a traffic stop by drawing his weapon seems like a clear abuse of this sort of law.
However, now that we're reaching an age when everything anyone sees will soon be able to be recorded -- and for years, various research groups have been working on tools to make that easier -- these kinds of laws may need to be revisited. If many people are wearing devices that record everything they see and hear, suddenly such laws become a bit ridiculous -- even outside of the clear abuse above when such laws are being used to punish a whistleblower.

I think the board shape and design is just slightly different Also, I read a lot of good things about that bloody monster pci 5700le on the dell forums (there are a lot of dell people stuck without agp slots...including that friend of mine). The only reason I told my friend to go with the jaton one is because it specifically says it has the 128bit memory bus where the bloody monster one does not say this in its description. However, I do believe the bloody monster one probably does have a 128bit memory bus because everyone who has it seems to say it has great performance...and the agp versions of the same card from bloody monster also for sure have a 128bit memory bus...so I would assume the pci version is basically the same...just pci. So I think that you should be able to go with the jaton one or the bloody monster one.
And with respect to your question about how good this card is and if you will want to get rid of it in the near future...well I guess that all depends on what games you are playing and what settings you expect to play those games at. It would also depend on how powerful the rest of the computer is. The 5700LE should be able to play any game out there now even doom...the only thing is that you might have to keep the resolution at 800X600 and bump down the graphics settings some on certain games that are graphic card hungry. So depending on your system and the games you are playing...this might be a good card for you. For example...my brother just has a Pentium 4 1.8GHZ computer with 512MB of memory so it didn't matter if he got a faster graphics card...the rest of the computer would limit him. And he is playing mostly battlefield 1942 and battlefield vietnam which seem to be much more cpu bound...so he got a 5700LE AGP card because it was cheap and all he really needed. If you could provide us with the rest of your system specs and what games you are playing or hope to play then maybe myself or some others here could provide you with some more information on whether this card would be a good purchase for you. Obviously if money were no factor then the best option would of course to buy a decent agp or pci-express motherboard and at least a good midrange video card...but money usually is a big factor for all of us of course.

A Knox County man pleaded guilty Monday to a Willard armed robbery and using half of the stolen money to buy heroin.
Van J. Ward, 31, of Fredericktown, was convicted of an amended charge of robbery for the armed robbery at L&L Drive-Thru in Willard. He faces two to eight years in prison and maximum fine of $15,000 when he is sentenced Jan. 15.
"The state will be free to argue for any sentence at sentencing," Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler said about the plea deal.
Ward originally was charged with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, but he pleaded guilty to robbery, a second-degree felony. Huron County Public Defender David Longo said the amended charge is "a lesser included charge."
The Huron County Sheriff's Office started developing leads in the case July 2 when the Willard Police Department was involved in another investigation.
On June 27, Ward parked at L&L Drive-Thru. Leffler said the defendant was wearing a ski mask when he entered the South Conwell Avenue, Willard, business, "presented what appeared to be gun" and demanded money from the clerk.
Ward, who received $1,100 from the clerk, "used half of the money to buy heroin in Shelby, Ohio," Leffler said.
Detectives Josh Querin and John Harris interviewed Ward on Aug. 14.
"He indicated he had a heroin addiction of about 20 balloons a day," Leffler said. "Mr. Ward was cooperative with the authorities."
After Ward provided information on where the air-soft gun was, detectives recovered it Aug. 14 in Willard.
Ward's brother, Anthony A. Ward, 24, also of Fredericktown, is accused of being the driver.
"We currently have a holder on him for the armed robbery," Querin said recently. "Anthony has a significant criminal history and he's a good person to get off the street."
Ward has been unable to post a $100,000 bond at the Knox County Jail since Nov. 11. He is charged with trafficking in drugs in connection with an investigation by Fredericktown police.
"We've been working hand-in-hand with the Fredericktown Police Department," Querin said.
Van Ward, who is out on bond, is subject to random drug screens and is prohibited from possessing any deadly weapons.
"He's already under supervision in Richland County. They're aware of his situation," Longo said.

EDITORIAL: Mental illness
A leading national mental health organization, The National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, points out that there is no way to yet determine the mental state of Jared Loughner, the alleged Tucson, Ariz., gunman who killed six people and injured others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Loughner's erratic behavior in the months leading up to the horrid shooting was certainly bizarre, and by the observations of most of us outside of the field of mental health, insane. He had been suspended from Pima Community College after multiple run-ins with school police for disruptions on campus. According to a report from CBS and the Associated Press, he and his parents were informed by the school that he would have to get a letter from a mental health official indicating his presence at the college would not present a danger to himself or others. It is unclear whether he sought that mental evaluation.
But even when individuals are evaluated, the process may not red-flag a client as being dangerous. Such was the case in 2007 of Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech gunman who took more than 30 lives after a psychiatric evaluation led a judge to determine that the man was a danger to himself, but not to others. Thus, he declined to commit the man to an institution, instead recommending outpatient treatment.
Evaluating and treating mental illness is an imprecise science which relies on subjective assessments from qualified professionals. And, the system is rife with cracks that a sick individual may slip through.
That all said, it remains crucial that the states and the nation provide for screening and public education, and for treatment programs — in patient and out — to help those in need of care and their families. Although those mentally ill people who wreak havoc caputure the headlines, far more other Americans have been helped by treatment programs go about their lives without causing harm to themselves or to others. Indeed, the national council said it should be stressed that a person with a mental health condition is no more likely to be violent than any other person.
But the programs must be in place to help the mentally ill.
It has long been a concern of this newspaper that too many mental health institutions have been closed or dramatically downsized in favor of less-costly outpatient programs. It was that concern that led this newspaper to join a successful campaign of local lawmakers and others in 2002 to prevent the state from closing the Evansville Psychiatric Children's Center (EPCC).
We bring it up today because once again Indiana, this time behind Gov. Mitch Daniels, is seeking to eliminate the laws that prevent the state from closing the center or the Evansville State Hospital, or reducing their staffing levels.
Two Evansville Republicans, State Sen. Vaneta Becker and State Rep. Suzanne Crouch, are on the line again for the Evansville facilities, having met already with Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville.
The children's center serves up to 41 in-patient children who have severe mental illness and who have limited possibilities for care and treatment outside it. These children will have their best chance for survival as adults if they now have the safety and security of a facility such as the EPCC.

Spend an evening with Tony Bennett at The Sunrise Theatre
FORT PIERCE - In the 1950s, thousands of screaming bobbysoxers surrounded the Paramount Theatre in New York, held back only by police barricades, to see their singing idol Tony Bennett. Today those fans, as well as their children and grandchildren, continue to idolize the octogenarian, and all of Bennett's fans will be able to see him live at the Sunrise Theatre.
His initial fame came via a string of Columbia singles in the early 1950s, including such chart-toppers as "Because of You," "Rags To Riches" and a cover of Hank Williams' "Cold, Cold Heart." He has placed two-dozen songs in the Top 40, including "I Wanna Be Around," "The Good Life," "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)" and his signature hit, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," which earned him two Grammy Awards.
Tony Bennett is one of a handful of artists to have new albums chart in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and to this day. He has toured the world to sold out audiences, winning rave reviews whenever he performs.
In 2006, Bennett's NBC prime-time special, "Tony Bennett: An American Classic" received seven Emmy Awards, making it the most honored program of that year.
With worldwide record sales in the millions, dozens of platinum and gold albums to his credit, fifteen Grammy Awards including the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Tony Bennett will surely give you a night to remember.

Because they track a population of degree candidates and job seekers that's presumably at least something like you in terms of age, educational background, interests, and so forth, you'll find them to be a valuable source of information.
And while you're at it, ask them about the certification question, too. For my money, a masters's in infosec is about the same as most mid-level certifications. But I'm not hiring such professionals, nor can I offer you such a job either--so ask somebody who has reason to know what sells (and what doesn't) in your area, for people with your kind of background and credentials.

Champion Angel Food Cake
|Sifted cake flour
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs)
|Sifted sugar
|1 3⁄4 Cup (28 tbs)
|Egg whites
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs) (11 In Number)
|Cream of tartar
|1 1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|1 Teaspoon
1. Preheat 375°
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour and 3/4 cup sugar twice.
3. Use a rotary beater(electric or hand) and blend egg whites ,until they become foamy.
4. Add cream of tartar, salt and vanilla, one by one and keep beating to soft peak stage.
5. Add the remaining 1 cup sugar to the mixture blending continuously, adding one tablespoon of sugar at a time.
6. Be careful while blending, do not overdo. Beat only about one turn of bowl after each addition (5 turns of rotary beater); gently scrape sides.
7. Add flour-sugar mixture to the egg, in 3 or 4 parts, gently folding in with wire whisk, using about 12 strokes each time.
8. Take a large 10x14" or two 10 1/2 X 2 1/2" tube pans and pour the cake mixture in it.
9. Remove large air bubbles from the cake mixture, by cutting it through batter with spatula.
10. Place the pan in oven and bake it for 40 to 50 minutes.
11. Invert pan on rack and allow it to cool for about 1 hour ,before removing cake.
12. You can frost the cake if with desired icing if you like or serve with sweetened whipped cream.
For top results: Take care not to over-beat egg whites.
It's best to use eggs at room temperature rather than from the refrigerator.
Whites should stand in soft peaks so that the tips drop over when beater is lifted.
If you use your mixer, the cake will be less troublesome to make.

Debt Virus Spreads During Make-Believe Recovery: Matthew Lynn
Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The euro area is growing again. The banking system has survived its stress tests. The Greeks have implemented their first austerity measures with some success.
The fevered predictions of the early summer that the euro was doomed, and that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis would rip through countries such as Spain and Portugal like a virus, have been forgotten. The crisis appears to be over.
Don't believe it. Under the surface, the cracks in the euro are getting worse. The imbalances in the euro area are growing all the time. The resistance to the bailout package will rise as the terms turn out to be immoral and absurd. And the big-deficit nations are locked in a downward economic spiral.
The euro has bought itself some time, at a huge cost. And yet little has been done to fix the causes of the crisis.
True, there have been signs in the last month that the situation has stabilized. Last week, the European Union said the 16 economies sharing the euro grew 1 percent in the second quarter, the strongest rate of expansion in four years.
Most of Europe's banks passed the "stress tests," designed to judge their ability to withstand financial-market shocks, easily enough. They have bounced back from the crisis and look in decent shape again.

The euro has also strengthened to $1.28 after reaching $1.19 in June. Even Greek stocks are looking healthier: The ASE Index of leading shares quoted in Athens has bounced back to more than 1,600 from less than 1,400 during the crisis.
At this rate, even the editors of Germany's mass-market Bild newspaper will soon be congratulating their Greek friends on their sober and responsible approach to economic management.
Think again. Here's why we should be skeptical.
First, the euro area remains as dangerously imbalanced as always. Take a look at those growth figures. In the second quarter, German gross domestic product grew 2.2 percent. Other countries didn't do nearly so well. Greece's economy shrank 1.5 percent, while Spain registered just 0.2 percent growth.
The debt crisis has even helped Germany by weakening the euro, thereby strengthening its exports. It has hardly helped nations like Greece because they don't export much. Instead, the euro area is more lopsided. Germans are getting wealthier, yet they are being forced to subsidize Greeks who are getting poorer. That won't be sustainable for long.
Slovakian Opposition
Second, opposition to the bailouts may grow.
Slovakia has understandably refused to ratify its share of the rescue package. Any political system needs to be both fair and reasonable to command support. The terms of the bailout are neither. You can't tell relatively poor, hard-working people who have played by the rules, like the Slovaks, that they have to help out countries that didn't, such as Greece. You might get away with it once or twice, but if the euro area is simply a mechanism for transferring wealth from the industrious to the feckless, it is hard to see it surviving. The responsible nations are going to want out at some point.
Slovakia will no doubt be ignored. The EU doesn't pay much attention to protests from its smaller members, particularly from Eastern Europe. But Portugal and Ireland, which will also have to help Greece, may join the protest soon. Even if they don't, the billions in aid and loan guarantees promised for Greece and the other deficit countries can't be taken for granted. The new government in Slovakia was elected on a platform of opposing the bailout. "Say no to the Greeks" is a great campaign theme and will surely be copied in the region.
No Recovery
Third, the Greek economy is in a terrible state. It may have delivered on the first round of the austerity package demanded as part of the rescue. That was always going to happen. But the economy is still shrinking. With the government cutting spending and with strikes hitting the tourist industry, it is impossible to see it recovering any time soon.
As the Greek economy shrinks, the tax base will fall, and the task of curbing the deficit will get harder. Greece has always needed a growth strategy as well as a deficit-reduction one. There has been no sign of that so far.
Europe's sovereign-debt crisis was always going to be a drawn-out affair. Lulls in the storm are to be expected. Crisis finished? It's only just getting started.

Freshman Florida Congressman Curt Clawson (R) is still finding his way around the U.S. Capitol after his victory in a special election last month — and he's also apparently still figuring out that public officials of Asian ethnicities are not necessarily foreigners.
Foreign Policy uncovered video from a subcommittee hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — the Asia and Pacific subcommittee, on which Clawson sits — in which Clawson spoke to two high-ranking U.S. officials, Nisha Biswal of the State Department and Arun Kumar of the Commerce Department, as if they were Indian bureaucrats, and proceeded to lay out to them his own complaints against economic policies in India.
"I am familiar with your country; I love your country; and I understand the complications of so many languages, and so many cultures, and so many histories all rolled up in one," said Clawson. "So just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there... And I ask cooperation, and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?"
After an awkward pause, an obviously dumbfounded Biswal answered: "I think your question is to the Indian government. And we certainly share your sentiment, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S. government."
"Of course," a smiling Clawson responded, in a manner so self-assured that it did not immediately appear that he even realized his mistake.
As Foreign Policy notes, Clawson also spoke during the hearing about his favorite Bollywood movies. Eric Kleefeld
A North Korean biological weapons scientist has reportedly defected to Finland, taking with him 15 gigabytes of data detailing experiments on human.
The 47 year old — identified only by his surname Lee — fled a research facility near North Korea's border with China in June, The Independent reports. Citing a humans rights group, South Korean newspaper Yonhap says he plans to present his data to the EU in July. There is reason for caution, however: Neither his defection nor his planned presentation have been confirmed by European authorities.
Greg Scarlatoiun, director of the U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, reportedly told a Finnish newspaper that the story is at least plausible.
"We have been told similar stories in the past that human experiments are carried out in prison camps," he said, adding that the experiments in question likely involved chemical weapons testing on humans. Nico Lauricella
U.S. officials said Thursday that Tunisia's most wanted jihadist — Seifallah Ben Hassine, also known as Abu Ayadh — was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Libya last month. The strike targeted another al Qaeda leader. Ben Hassine's death, if confirmed, would mark a major success for Tunisia, which has been battling insurgents in its western border region. Last Friday militants massacred 38 people, most of them British, in an attack on a beach resort. Ben Hassine was suspected of masterminding several terrorist attacks and assassinations. Harold Maass
Health insurer Aetna said Friday that it would buy smaller rival Humana for $37 billion in the insurance industry's biggest deal ever. Antitrust regulators will have to review how the acquisition would affect competition. If the deal goes through, the combined company will have about $115 billion and 33 million members, nearly as many as No. 2 carrier Anthem. The deal could be the start of a wave of consolidation that was on hold before last week's Supreme Court ruling upholding ObamaCare subsidies nationwide. Harold Maass
In a gambit to shake up the debt crisis talks last Saturday, Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras called for a national vote on July 5 to decide whether Greece should accept the terms of its creditors' bailout deal. The move appears to be backfiring.
The dea in question is off the table. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stopped negotiations until after the referendum. The polls are neck and neck. And a Greek court might decide that the whole thing is unconstitutional anyway.
On Friday, the 50-person court is slated to hear an appeal alleging that the vote violates Article 44 of the Greek constitution, which bars referendums on "the management of fiscal policy and issues that affect the financial situation of the state." The claimants also argue the question posed to voters is too confusing. The Greek government reportedly doesn't intend to offer a rebuttal in court. Nico Lauricella
Pretty cute for 2,000 years old:
2,000-year-old marble dolphin surfaces near Gaza Strip http://t.co/yPXosuWCWc
— The Times of Israel (@TimesofIsrael) June 25, 2015
Dated to around the first century AD, this marble dolphin turned up on a recent archaeological dig at Kibbutz Magen, Israel, near the Gaza Strip. It's about 16 inches high, munching a fish, and may once have adorned a larger statue of the ancient Roman god Neptune or goddess Venus, both of whom were frequently depicted with sea motifs. Although the archaeologists found it in the ruins of a Byzantine settlement, they believe it to be Roman. For more on the little guy, head over to The Times of Israel. Nico Lauricella
The prequel to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is set to be released on July 14. But controversy about its history — and if Lee, 88, really wants it published at all — has grown thicker already. While the official story holds that Tonja B. Carter, Lee's lawyer, was reviewing an old typescript of To Kill a Mockingbird and happened upon the manuscript for its prequel, Go Set a Watchman, The New York Times has dug up a second, conflicting narrative.
According to the new story, Carter might actually have found the book in 2011, when viewing the contents of Lee's safe-deposit box during a Sotheby's auction house rare books appraisal. In the box, Carter — along with Justin Caldwell, a rare books expert, and Alice Lee, Harper's sister — are said to have discovered a typescript story that looked suspiciously like To Kill a Mockingbird, but clearly wasn't the same.
The other was a typescript of a story that, like Mockingbird, was set in the fictional town of Maycomb and inhabited by the same people. But Mr. Caldwell noticed that the characters were older, and the action set many years later, the person said. After reading about 20 pages and comparing passages to a published copy of Mockingbird for nearly an hour, Mr. Caldwell is said to have realized the differences and told the others in the room that it seemed to be an early version of the novel. [The New York Times]
However, Carter said she had to leave the room and denied she had ever heard of a different manuscript being found that day.
The implications of the second narrative could be hefty, though. While Go Set a Watchman has already rocketed to being the bestselling preorder in the publisher's history, some think that Harper Lee, despite assurances otherwise, might not actually want Mockingbird's prequel published. Adding to the suspicion is the fact that Alice Lee might not have approved of Carter or anyone else publishing the novel. Go Set a Watchman was announced to be released three months after Alice's death. Jeva Lange
U.S. health officials revealed Thursday that a Washington woman's recent death from measles marks the first time someone has died from the disease in the country since 2003. While measles is known to be a highly contagious disease, health officials say it is extremely rare to die from it. Though officials are not saying whether the deceased woman was vaccinated, they did say she that her immune system was compromised due to medications she was taking.
Over the last year, measles cases have soared to an all-time high of 644 since the U.S. was declared to be measles-free in 2000. In Washington state alone, there have been 11 reported cases of measles this year — six of which were in a single county. The spike in measles outbreaks, coupled with this recent death, have further sparked debate over the necessity of the MMR (measles, mumps rubella) vaccine, which some believe — without concrete scientific evidence — causes autism in children.

Running notebook: Weather aside, marathon day shines
By Roberta MacInnis | January 16, 2013 | Updated: January 16, 2013 9:41pm
Photo By James Nielsen/StaffPonchos and garbage bags were popular outerwear Sunday as rain bedeviled runners before the start and in the early hours of the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon.

More Information
Start to finish
Weather led to a higher than usual percentage of runners not showing up for the start of the races this weekend, but most of those who started were able to finish:
Marathon Half marathon 5K
Starters 7,12110,341 3,183
Finishers 6,67410,1173,183
Completion perc. 94% 98% 100%
Anyone who was on the Elysian Viaduct shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday certainly won't miss it when the Texas Department of Transportation demolishes the road later this year.
The sodden, wind-whipped start to this year's Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon doused the normally ebullient atmosphere. Nobody was joking about the prospect of running in such nasty weather for hours. It was eerily silent, aside from the sound of thousands of plastic garbage bags and disposable jackets flapping in the wind.
The miserable conditions may be the reason a whopping 40 percent of the 13,000 people who registered for the marathon never started the race. (The event's typical no-show rate is 15 percent to 20 percent.)
Their loss. Aside from the weather, this year's events cemented the Houston Marathon Committee's stellar reputation for staging quality races.
From a runner's perspective, it's hard to imagine how it could be any better — unless organizers figure out how to take control of the weather. It's apparent the committee has a system in which members sit down each year and assess what went right and what went wrong, then act accordingly. It seems no detail is too arcane to discuss.
Persistent complaints about congestion in the early miles prompted organizers to modify the start line last year, to great success.
Better every year
While the New York Road Runners enraged New York City Marathon runners in August with a new no-baggage-check policy — which they retracted before Hurricane Sandy made the issue moot — organizers here somehow managed to speed up last year's sluggish lines to drop off gear.
The George R. Brown Convention Center remains key, a warm, dry place to wait for the start and to recover at the finish. But the amenities and layout seem to improve each year. Runners who didn't have the legs to get through the line for the full breakfast or to walk over to the ice cream or yogurt stations needed only to stay in one place. Young volunteers wandered about offering nibbles to finishers like waiters at a cocktail party. Instead of silver trays with smoked-salmon canapes, they carried cardboard boxes loaded with Rice Krispie treats and Teddy Grahams.
On the course, the pack's concerns about deserted streets evaporated; the crowd was surprisingly robust given the conditions. But the committee encourages charities in its Run for a Reason program to have hoopla stations, and that enthusiasm boosted what could have been a relatively quiet day.
Great volunteers
As for the army of race-day volunteers, there is only one thing to say: Thank you — for standing in the rain, getting jostled, having water spilled on your coat, holding an armful of heavy medals and putting them around runners' sweaty necks. And smiling the entire time.
It would have been easy for the Houston Marathon Committee to hit cruise control this year after successfully hosting the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the marathon for both men and women last year. But it didn't.
Officials here have long admitted they don't expect to compete with prestigious international events like the marathons in Boston and New York.
But the 6,674 marathon runners and 10,117 half marathon runners who finished Sunday's races would no doubt agree: Here in Houston, runners of all abilities get world-class treatment.

Let's enjoy life!!!!!
I know pretty much what I am looking for in a man but I know life can surprise me and I like surprises! However, I am looking for someone confident and caring, and tries to enjoy life to the fullest, driven, and with strong family values. I am a very positive person and would like to be around someone that can see the positive in most situations of life. I am very driven and my family is my passion, most things I've done in life, I've done for them. I am very focus on my career. I am a very responsible and caring person, everyone that knows me can tell you that, specially my family. It is important to me to be with someone that works to live and not live to work. I am not looking for a health freak but someone that cares about himself and his well being enough to not eat Crystals and take a walk with me! I enjoy cooking for my friends and even more for a special someone. It is unlikely you would see me in a bad mood for no apparent reason and laughing is my secret to stay young at heart. I have strong family values and I live by my faith, and I would like to meet someone that can share some of their values with me. I love traveling, I can get lost (with gas and someone special) or stuck in an airport and not care! I won't approach a guy at a bar and start up a conversation, but on this site I think that if I see someone I am interested in, I will wink at you. So please don't judge girls here for taking the first step. Chances are I might run into your profile and you might not run into mine if I don't do something. Happy life!

Players are the ones who create the revenue, it's not the sponsors or corporates people want to see. Next of all when they are getting less than 20% of the revenue generated which has to go through the seven rounds. They wanted an increase for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round losers, that was the point of the negotiations.

Their mission eventually takes a turn for the worse then there's a sudden spree of absurd crimes taking place in the city of Gotham.For some reason, and more importantly: somehow, people are transforming into their favourite villain or villainess for a day. Identical to their original idol, the only differences is that they are more of a mockery or a parody of the original (real) villain. Secondly, their transformation comes to a conclusion that leads to their deaths.Who is behind this recent spree of wanna-be villains? What does the Tokyo crew got to do with it? Will the Batman head back to Tokyo as both Bruce Wayne and the dark knight to figure out if a certain fan has taken whatever means necessary to make his or her dreams come true?
