 The first Texas location of 365 by Whole Foods Market, the "streamlined, value-oriented" grocery chain aimed at millennials, has been announced.

 Houston is one of the first five cities to get a branch of the new chain. The Houston store will be located at Interstate 610 and Yale, and is the first 365 by Whole Foods Market store in Texas, according to spokesman Michael Silverman. "We haven't announced the timetable for the opening of the Houston store," Silverman says, but store openings are scheduled through 2017.

 The Houston location will be at the northeast corner of Yale and Loop 610, near the Heights, Garden Oaks and Oak Forest neighborhoods, in a new complex called Yale Street Marketplace.

 The company has also secured leases for 365 by Whole Foods Market locations in Bellevue, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Santa Monica, California. The first 365 store will be located in the hipster Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.

 In a release, Jeff Turnas, president of 365 by Whole Foods Market describes the concept as having "a fresh format and a unique product assortment."

 "We think 365 will offer convenience and value while providing the quality standards and transparency that consumers love and expect," he says. One of its selling points is lower prices on natural and organic products.

 According to the release, the first locations will open in the second half of 2016, and the company plans to double the number of 365 by Whole Foods Market store openings in 2017.
 Texas favorite named the very best burger in America 2015-07-27T12:43:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-27-15-whataburger-best-burger-america-fast-company/
 In what is surely no surprise to Texans, a burger from Texas won a national contest pitting 32 burgers from around the country.

 Fast Company magazine did a week-long bracket to determine the all-important issue of which restaurant chain serves the most delicious burger in America. The magazine collected 32 contenders: eight each from the East Coast, West Coast, South and Midwest.

 Texas-based Whataburger won against them all.

 The list included longtime chains such as McDonald's and Burger King as well as upstart chains such as Five Guys and the hip, new Umami Burger. In a play that has no doubt earned Fast Company copious clicks (including ours!), the magazine put it to a public vote from July 20-24.

 Whataburger was judged on its original burger featuring a beef patty with mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and diced onions. That the Texas-based chain would beat generic entries such as Mickey D's hardly seems a surprise. That it would also beat popular regional chains such as Krystal and White Castle is inspirational.

 But its win against overly hyped burger joints such as In-N-Out and Shake Shack is a victory that tastes as sweet as one of its fried cherry pies.

 Fast Company is a business magazine that focuses on technology, business and design. Nothing there about food, but since Whataburger won, we'll let it slide.
 Texas high-speed bullet train gets new boss and big chunk of cash 2015-07-22T11:27:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/travel/07-22-15-high-speed-bullet-train-dallas-houston-texas-tim-keith-ceo/
 The high-speed passenger railway between Dallas and Houston has a new boss and an infusion of funding.

 The Board of Directors of Texas Central Partners (Texas Central) has appointed Tim Keith of Dallas as the new CEO for the organization, effective immediately.

 Texas Central also announced the closing of a round of development funding that brings $75 million dollars in new capital, all from Texas-based investors into the company. The offering was oversubscribed and the funds will be used to support ongoing development activities.

 Texas Central is the private, Texas-based and Texas-led development company that will construct and operate Texas' first high-speed passenger railway between North Texas and Houston as well as the terminal stations and surrounding development.

 As CEO, Keith will be responsible for leading all aspects of the system's finance, development, construction and eventual operations. He will also develop and implement Texas Central's vision for high-speed rail in Texas and serve as the primary interface between internal operations and external stakeholders.

 Keith was selected from a number of potential candidates because of his nearly 25 years of financial and operational experience in large real estate and infrastructure projects.

 He was formerly the Global Chief Executive Officer of RREEF/Deutsche Bank Infrastructure Investments, where he managed the worldwide operations of the firm's infrastructure funds management businesses. He had a 10-year career with RREEF/Deutsche Bank, a New York-based global alternative asset management firm, where he held various senior executive positions and served on the firm's Global Executive Committee.

 Keith previously co-founded HKS Capital Advisors where he served as its chief investment officer. He was also an executive at Hunt Realty Investments where he helped found, grow and sell Meridian Industrial Trust.

 The Texas Central board is comprised of chairman Richard Lawless, Robert Eckels, John Kleinheinz, Jack Matthews and Melvin Richmond.

 In a statement, Lawless described Keith as the ideal person for the job.

 "Over the last five years we have focused on selecting the city pairs, building the team of advisors, and starting the regulatory review," he said. "Tim is the perfect person to lead the project into the next phase. Under his leadership, we are confident Texans will soon be traveling from Houston to Dallas in less than 90 minutes on a privately developed transportation solution."

 Texas Central Railway (TCR) is the independent company formed in 2010 to promote the adoption of high-speed rail in Texas. It will continue its efforts related to the regulatory process — including the ongoing Environmental Impact Statement — in close coordination with Texas Central.

 Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings noted that "investors from our own Texas communities have determined that private high-speed rail is not only needed, but it's worthy of their financial investment."

 Houston Mayor Annise Parker called it "an exciting project" for Houston, Dallas and Texas. "After riding the train in Japan and witnessing its success there, it is great to see confidence in the project from Texas investors," she said.
 J. Crew debuts first Mercantile store concept at Texas retail center 2015-07-22T09:13:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/fashion/07-22-15-j-crew-mercantile-shops-park-lane-dallas/
 A J. Crew store opening at the Shops at Park Lane in Dallas will be the first of its kind in the country. Called J. Crew Mercantile, it's a new concept from J. Crew that features value-driven merchandise for women, men and children.

 The J. Crew Mercantile clothing line was originally conceived to be manufactured specifically for sale at J. Crew Factory stores. The fashion brand has now decided to start opening J. Crew Mercantile stores that will sell that cheaper line exclusively.

 But the J. Mercantile collection also will be available at J. Crew Factory stores. The distinction is location: J. Crew Mercantile stores will open in "convenient retail centers," which in this case is code for "malls."

 The J. Crew Mercantile at the Shops at Park Lane is slated to open on July 22, replacing what was previously announced as a J. Crew Factory store.

 J. Crew intends to open more J. Crew Mercantile shops at strip centers and malls. J. Crew already has Madewell, a sibling chain targeted toward millennials that it debuted in Dallas, at NorthPark Center, in August 2006. There is a regular J. Crew store at NorthPark too.

 Ward Kampf, president of Northwood Retail, which owns the Shops at Park Lane, says that J. Crew Mercantile gives the company a new way to grow. "This gives them a hybrid store with more flexibility for opening stores," he told the Dallas Morning News.
 DFW Airport looks for touchdown with Dallas Cowboys-themed restaurant 2015-07-19T13:18:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/travel/07-19-15-dallas-cowboys-theme-restaurant-dfw-airport/
 If you dream of asking Tony Romo to pass you some wings, then you're the right diner for the Dallas Cowboys Club, a new restaurant opening at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport by global restaurateur HMS Host in partnership with the Dallas Cowboys.

 Located at Terminal A, gate 22, the Dallas Cowboys Club is one in a series of similar team-themed restaurants from HMS, says spokesman Sean Matthews. Others include the Minnesota Wild, a hockey-themed restaurant in Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the San Jose Sharks Bar.

 But these are not just places to buy a T-shirt and have a beer. "With HMS, our focus these days has been on culinary and customer service," he says. "It's definitely food forward."

 The "Texas-inspired" menu includes game-favorite appetizers such as chicken tenders, wings, shrimp skewers and a chicken quesadilla. Half-pound, grass-fed burgers come in four options, from plain to BBQ to bacon and cheddar.

 Sandwiches are priced from $11.99 to $12.99 and include beef and pork tortas and a brisket sandwich with pickles on brioche.

 Among the five entrées are chicken with rice, salmon and a flat-iron steak with chimichurri sauce. Side dishes include baked beans, sweet potato fries, and a slaw made of corn and beans. There's little designated for vegetarians other than a mac and cheese skillet entrée for $12.99. Two of the three salads come with chicken.

 Breakfast is served until 10:30 am and includes eggs, French toast, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy with choice of bacon, ham, pork or turkey sausage.

 A full bar includes at least five beers on tap, plus wines, both by the bottle and in two glass options, 6- and 9-ounce.

 "This takes the iconic Dallas Cowboys and marries it with iconic food and service that HMS is known for," Matthews says. "We're giving travelers something new and exciting."

 Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders pays a visit to Texas this weekend 2015-07-16T15:07:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/07-16-15-presidential-candidate-bernie-sanders-texas-tour-dallas-houston/
 Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will hit two major cities in Texas, part of a series of town meetings he's conducting in various cities across the South.

 On Sunday, July 19, he'll join Dallas Democratic leaders for a town meeting at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in downtown at 1 pm. Later that day, he'll head south to Houston for a town meeting at 7 pm at the University of Houston.

 An independent senator from Vermont, Sanders announced his candidacy in May. His main campaign issues focus on getting big money out of politics, dealing with income and wealth inequality, combating climate change, and making a living wage.

 Other agenda items include rebuilding infrastructure, establishing pay equity for women and making college affordable.

 According to Politico, he's the envy of the other candidates, Republican and Democratic, because he has such vibrant grass roots support. More than 76 percent of his donations were $200 or less.

 Younger supporters have seized on a favorite catchphrase, "Feel the Bern," which they're using on Facebook, Twitter and T-shirts; it has at least two Facebook pages.

 Sanders' appearances in Texas will be preceded by a stop on Friday in Iowa, where he'll discuss veterans issues at a Friday press conference in Cedar Rapids, then speak at an Iowa Democratic Hall of Fame dinner that night, along with fellow Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee.

 On Saturday, he'll be in Phoenix, Arizona, at a rally, where the demand for tickets was so high that the event had to be moved to a larger facility.

 The town hall meetings are free to attend, but you must RSVP to get a ticket.

 The Dallas event is at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, from 1-2 pm. RSVP here for tickets. The Houston event was originally at the Cullen Performance Hall on the University of Houston campus, but was changed due to demand and is now at Hofheinz Pavilion; RSVP here for tickets.
 Texas billionaire steps in to save Blue Bell homemade vanilla 2015-07-15T08:38:18-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-15-15-fort-worth-billionaire-sid-bass-blue-bell-vanilla/
 A billionaire from Fort Worth has stepped in to aid the besieged Blue Bell Creameries. According to an announcement from the Brenham-based ice cream company, Texas businessman Sid Bass has become an investor and partner.

 "We are pleased Sid Bass has made a significant investment with our company," said Blue Bell president Paul Kruse. "The additional capital will ensure the successful return of our ice cream to the market and our loyal customers."

 Blue Bell has been shut down since April, after a multistate outbreak of listeriosis was linked to its ice cream; 10 people became ill and three died. The contaminated products have been found at the company's Texas and Oklahoma plants.

 According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the company is planning trial runs at its Alabama plant but has not set a date for when its ice cream will be available to the public.

 Sid Richardson Bass graduated from Yale University and Stanford Graduate School of Business before joining the family business founded by his great-uncle, Sid Richardson, and his father, Perry Richardson Bass.

 Bass is active in the family oil and gas and carbon black businesses. He has managed long-term investments and worked closely with management teams throughout his career, notably the Walt Disney Company. He is also, apparently, a homemade vanilla fan.

 "We are excited to be a part of the Blue Bell brand and family," Bass said in a statement. "Blue Bell is the quality leader in the ice cream industry. We believe quality is the principle attribute that ensures the success, growth and longevity of a business."
 New Texas foodie fest taps Austin's top culinary talent 2015-07-14T12:04:44-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-14-15-festival-klyde-warren-park-palate-jonathan-waxman-amanda-freitag-austin-chefs/
 Dallas' Klyde Warren Park has announced the lineup for its new food-and-wine festival. Called Park & Palate, it will take place on September 25-26 and will feature a swath of chefs from across Texas.

 The VIPs include Amanda Freitag, a frequent Food Network guest and judge on Chopped, and chef-restaurateur Jonathan Waxman.

 Showcasing chefs from across Texas, the lineup runs from Tyson Cole to Top Chef contestants such as John Tesar, Tiffany Derry and Tre Wilcox. The goal is to pump up Texas' culinary scene while raising funds for the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation, which operates Klyde Warren Park, said chairman Jody Grant in a statement.

 "Few things bring people together like great food and wine, so we feel like Park & Palate is both on-mission and a great way to raise awareness and funds," Grant said.

 The festival will kick off Friday night with a competition between a dozen Texas chefs to create "comfort food with a modern twist." Participating chefs include Alma Alcocer (El Alma Restorante and Bar), Andrew Wiseheart (Contigo), Becky Masson (Fluff Bake Bar), Jeff Balfour (Southerleigh), Julio Peraza (Madrina), John Tesar (Knife), Kent Rathbun (Hickory), Michael Fojtasek and Grae Nonas (Olamaie), Tyson Cole (Uchi), Jason Dady, Tiffany Derry, and Tre Wilcox.

 A grand tasting on Saturday September 26 features more than 30 Texas chefs and 30 wineries along with an open bar.

 Chefs, mostly from Dallas, include Anastacia Quinones (Kitchen LTO), Brian Luscher (Luscher's Red Hots), Danyele McPherson (Remedy), Dennis Kelley and Melody Bishop (Lark on the Park), Graham Dodds (Hibiscus), Jeramie Robison (Shinsei), Meaders Ozarow (Empire Baking Company), Omar Flores (Casa Rubia), Richard Blankenship (CBD Provisions), Sarah Snow (The Grape), Stephen Rogers and Allison Yoder (Gemma), and more.

 Tickets went on sale Tuesday morning at ParkAndPalate.org. They start at $150 and vary in pricing for each day. General admission is $250. VIP tickets, which include entry to the VIP lounge in Savor Gastropub with food by Jonathan Waxman, wine seminars, and mixology demonstrations, plus prime viewing of the main stage, are a mere $450.
 Starbucks messes with Texas by introducing new barbecue brisket sandwich 2015-07-09T09:44:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-09-15-starbucks-bbq-barbecue-brisket-sandwich-summer-menu/
 It's a good thing Texas doesn't get all cuckoo and territorial about little things like barbecue; otherwise there might be grounds for outrage over a new menu item at Starbucks. Continuing to expand its food program, the coffee chain has debuted an unprecedented sandwich on its summer menu, made with BBQ beef brisket.

 The BBQ beef brisket sandwich comes on sourdough bread, with Jack cheese and onions braised in Gordon Biersch blonde bock beer. The sandwich, which is "reminiscent of an outdoor barbecue," is served warm.

 There's also a chicken sandwich on flatbread, and a new bistro box packed with omega-3. It contains smoked wild Alaskan salmon cream cheese spread, edamame hummus, omega-3-infused trail mix with dark chocolate chunks, wheat-free crackers and cucumbers.

 Bistro boxes are like adult happy meals. A prosciutto and mozzarella pinwheel bistro box is available only on a test basis in Orlando and San Diego.

 Citing a 2013 study showing that 50 percent of what Americans eat each day is snacks, Starbucks has added more than a dozen snacks, which it says are designed to be consumed day or night, for plane travel or road trips, for spontaneous picnics and after-work bites. Does that leave out any eating event opportunity?

 "Since so many people are snacking these days, we decided to increase the number of snacks we offer in our stores, both sweet and savory," says Ellie Halevy, a Starbucks VP.

 Several of these new snacks are seasonal, including taffy, chewing gum and a raspberry chocolate chip scone that replaces the cranberry orange scone, available through September. The snacks will be available in 3,400 stores in major metropolitan areas.

 On the beverage front, Starbucks rolled out cold brew coffee, which has become a coffeehouse darling. Ground coffee is steeped in cool water for 20 hours, and it is served unsweetened to highlight its smooth, naturally sweet taste.

 That's different from iced coffee, which is coffee that's brewed hot, then iced down, and often doctored with milk and sugar. And as long as we're going through this, an iced latte is espresso brewed hot, then mixed with ice and milk.
 Virgin chooses designer neighborhood for swanky new Texas hotel 2015-06-26T10:31:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/06-26-15-virgin-hotel-dallas-texas-design-district-turtle-creek/
 Virgin Hotels, the lifestyle hotel brand by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, has confirmed it will open a hotel in Dallas, in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods: the Design District. The property will be located on Hi Line Drive and Turtle Creek Boulevard, and it is expected to open in 2018.

 The company was considering a number of locations, but Virgin Hotels CEO Raul Leal said in a release that the company is "ecstatic" to be part of the Design District.

 "With chic stores, eclectic galleries and upscale restaurants, we expect Virgin Hotels to move into the neighborhood seamlessly, as its aesthetic and offerings will attract growing local creative class and business travelers," Leal said.

 The "lifestyle" hotel will have more than 200 rooms, including grand chamber suites. The property will offer multiple dining and drinking outlets, including its flagship Commons Club, a rooftop terrace with a pool, gym and spa.

 This continues Dallas' ongoing love affair with Branson, whose Virgin America airline is now flying out of Love Field, with lots of nonstop flights and competitive fares that benefit travelers to and from Dallas.

 Virgin Hotels Dallas will be a new build located within the 33 acres that developer Dunhill Partners and its founder Bill Hutchins acquired in 2014. In addition to Dunhill, the property will be developed by Vinculum Partners and the Crosland Group; it will be managed by Virgin Hotels.

 Virgin is opening hotels in all the major cities. The most recent opening was in Chicago, with Nashville and New York next. The company is looking at cities such as Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and London, be it conversions or ground-up development.
 New downtown Austin steakhouse promises spacious rooftop deck 2015-06-15T13:39:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/06-15-15-stk-steakhouse-downtown-austin/
 A new steakhouse lacking vowels is coming to Texas from New York City. Called STK, it's part of a big chain from a company called One Group Hospitality, which intends to open outlets in both Austin and Dallas.

 Austin gets the lower-priced model, called STK Rebel, and it's going in the central entertainment district downtown. The Dallas location will be in Uptown. Both restaurants are projected to open in 2016.

 STK is "a modern twist on the American steakhouse concept," aka a "steakhouse." The company boasts that it's "not your daddy's steakhouse," eschewing antiques on the walls or a stuffy, old-fashioned atmosphere.

 That said, the menu appears to have some of "your daddy's" classics, such as beef tartare, lobster, mac and cheese, creamed corn, and chocolate molten cake.

 There are branches in Las Vegas, D.C. and London, with more coming: Milan in May, and Orlando and Chicago later in 2015.

 STK Rebel maintains the unique features and energy of STK, with a cheaper price point. In addition to the one planned for Austin, there's a STK Rebel slated to open in Denver.

 In a release, One Group CEO Jonathan Segal describes Austin and Dallas as booming cities. "Particularly given the prime locations with indoor and rooftop space we have secured, we're extremely excited about entering these markets," he says.

 STK Rebel Austin will consist of a 7,000-square-foot restaurant and 4,000-square-foot rooftop deck at 305 E. Third St., the one-time home to the Melting Pot. STK Dallas will be located at 1899 McKinney Ave., in what was previously a glitzy bar called Glass. At more than 14,000 square feet, the space is huge; it'll include a patio and a 6,500-square-foot rooftop lounge.

 Notably, the One Group recently signed an agreement with BankUnited N.A. for a second term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6 million to help facilitate the continued growth of the company. Surely that info whets your appetite?

 The One Group is a global hospitality company that develops and operates upscale, high-energy restaurants and lounges and provides hospitality management services for hotels, casinos and other high-end venues both nationally and internationally.
 More details revealed about Whole Foods Market's new store for millennials 2015-06-12T11:49:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/06-12-15-whole-foods-market-affordable-chain-365/
 In May, Whole Foods Market announced it would be launching a new, separate chain tailored to a younger millennial audience. Now that chain has a name: 365 by Whole Foods Market.

 According to a release, it will offer convenience and low prices on natural and organic products. 365 By Whole Foods Market is slated to begin appearing in 2016.

 Jeff Turnas, a 20-year Whole Foods veteran, will serve as president of the new concept and will be based at the company's headquarters in Austin. Turnas' previous leadership positions include his role as president of the company's North Atlantic and U.K. regions.

 Turnas says in a release that the 365 by Whole Foods Market experience will be both "efficient and rewarding" as well as "fun and convenient," with a modern, streamlined design and innovative technology. You can see Turnas in a YouTube clip, with his tousled millennial hair and casual millennial hoodie, describing the concept as "fresh" and "cool."

 Whole Foods shoppers will recognize 365 as the existing generic store brand that does cheaper knock-offs of other brand-name goods.

 But do you see yourself going to the store and shouting out to your honey, "Hey, I'm going to 365 By Whole Foods Market!" Probably not. Shortened to initials, it would be 365BWFM; that doesn't sound so great either. It'll probably be more like, "Hey, I'm going to 365."

 According to Bloomberg, 365 By Whole Foods Market was not the only name the company considered. Other names included Dailyshop and Swiftgoods.
 Starbucks gets a little nutty with 6 new Frappuccino flavors 2015-06-08T11:13:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/06-08-15-starbucks-frappuccino-six-new-flavors-cotton-candy/
 After a longtime policy of being very measured with its flavors, Starbucks is going a little crazy by introducing six new Frappuccino beverages, available June 8. They will become part of a social media vote campaign for the company.

 From June 19-30, customers can vote for their favorite on Frappuccino.com. The winner will be announced July 3.

 "Over the years we have seen many creative recipes from our customers, and the six Fan Flavor Frappuccino beverages featured in the Flav-Off contest represent a few of the most popular recipes," said Starbucks marketing director Renee Jones in a release.

 Starbucks' most recent flavor was S'Mores, released in May for summer 2015, with graham cracker-flavored syrup, coffee, milk, ice, marshmallow-infused whipped cream, milk chocolate sauce and crumbled graham crackers.

 The six new flavors show the company's continued gravitation away from coffee and more toward an ice cream-type lineup for this drink:

 Caramel Cocoa Cluster. Toffee nut syrup, coffee, milk, ice, dark caramel sauce, whipped cream, mocha sauce.

 Cinnamon Roll. Cinnamon dolce syrup, white chocolate mocha sauce, vanilla bean, coffee, milk, ice, whipped cream, cinnamon dolce topping.

 Cotton Candy. Vanilla bean, raspberry syrup, milk, ice, whipped cream.

 Cupcake. Vanilla bean, hazelnut syrup, milk, ice, whipped cream. Similar to a limited-edition Birthday Cake flavor released in March, which also had vanilla bean and hazelnut syrups.

 Lemon Bar. Lemonade, vanilla syrup, milk, ice, whipped cream, caramel sugar.

 Red Velvet Cake. Mocha sauce, raspberry syrup, vanilla syrup, chocolate chips, milk, ice, whipped cream.

 Starbucks launched the Frappuccino 20 years ago; the only two flavors were coffee and mocha. In other countries, there are unique Frappuccino flavors that reflect their palates, such as coffee jelly or red bean green tea in Asia, algarrobina Frappuccino with syrup from the black carob tree in Peru and the chocolate brigadeiro Frappuccino in Brazil.

 We get cotton candy.
 Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell wraps up newly announced fall tour in Austin 2015-06-02T11:33:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/06-02-15-chris-cornell-austin-acl-live-moody-theater/
 Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell is launching a fall 2015 acoustic tour that includes two stops in Texas — one in Austin and one in Dallas. The tour, which launches on September 20 in Los Angeles, marks Cornell's release of a new solo album, Higher Truth.

 The Austin date, serving as the U.S. tour finale, is November 2 at Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater. The Dallas date is November 1 at the Majestic Theatre.

 Higher Truth comes out on September 18. It's Cornell's first solo album since the 2009 release of Scream. He's done solo tours previously such as the one in 2007 that included a stop at House of Blues Dallas. Soundgarden has come through Texas twice in the past two years: in 2013, when they made stops in Houston, Austin and Dallas; and in 2014, when they toured with Nine Inch Nails.

 Fans who sign up for Chris Cornell's email list will receive an exclusive link and code word to purchase tickets in advance of the public on-sale date. American Express card members can get advance tickets beginning June 3 at 10 am. Tickets for the general public will go on sale beginning at 10 am on Friday.
 Marijuana bill goes from Texas House approval to governor's desk 2015-05-19T14:33:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/05-19-15-marijuana-bill-legislature-texas-house-greg-abbott/
 Texas is just a Greg Abbott signature away from approving a medical marijuana bill that will be hard to fulfill but is viewed as a positive step toward marijuana legislation.

 On May 18, the Texas State House voted 96-34 in favor of Senate Bill 339, which allows patients with intractable seizure conditions to access a marijuana extract containing high levels of cannabidiol, or CBD, and only trace levels of THC.

 SB 339 previously passed the Senate on May 7. It now heads to Gov. Abbott, who has until June 16 to sign off.

 Although marijuana advocates welcome the bill, it's seen as flawed because it requires doctors to engage in conduct that is prohibited by federal law.

 "On a certain level, the legislature should be commended for acknowledging the medical value of marijuana, and it is a historic vote in that sense," says Heather Fazio, Texas political director for the Marijuana Policy Project. "[But] lawmakers missed several opportunities to amend the bill in ways that could have provided real relief to countless Texans. Not a single patient will be helped by this legislation."

 SB 339 requires doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients, but prescribing exposes doctors to federal criminal sanctions.

 In other states where marijuana is legal, doctors only "recommend" medical marijuana or "certify" patients to use medical marijuana. Unlike prescriptions, "recommendations" and "certifications" are federally legal and protected under the First Amendment.

 Texas is not the only state with a "flawed" bill. There are 14 states — including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Utah and even Wisconsin — that have adopted similar laws, allowing limited access to products containing CBD. But 23 other states and the District of Columbia have comprehensive medical marijuana laws that actually work.

 "Nearly half of the states in the country have effectively implemented medical marijuana programs, and I have no doubt Texas could adopt an even better one," Fazio says.

 Another flaw in the bill is that it allows for extracts with very little THC. Some seizure patients say that a higher ratio of THC is necessary to effectively reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

 The bill also fails to allow access to any medical marijuana products for people suffering from other debilitating conditions, such as PTSD, cancer and multiple sclerosis, for which medical marijuana has been found to have significant medical benefits.

 Despite SB 339's limitations, advocates such as the Marijuana Policy Project and Progress Texas support Abbott's signing it into law. In some states, it has taken up to three years to implement marijuana laws, between the operation of dispensaries, the application process, finding locations, building facilities and starting cultivation.

 "Even if doctors are unwilling to 'prescribe' marijuana, starting the implementation process will ensure a system of safe access is ready to go when the legislature meets in 2017 — at which point it can fix the flaw and expand access to patients with other serious conditions," Fazio says.

 Progress Texas director Ed Espinoza says he's encouraged, because the bill has received strong support from a bipartisan majority. "While the bill does not provide for full-scale medical marijuana, it is an important first step," Espinosa says.
 Whole Foods Market launching new grocery store concept for millennials 2015-05-06T18:06:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/05-06-15-whole-foods-market-austin-new-concept-grocery-store-target-millennials/
 Millennials, look out: Whole Foods has its eyes on you. The Austin-based supermarket giant is launching a new, separate chain specifically tailored to meet the needs of that younger audience.

 What that means: a more streamlined design, with an emphasis on technology, and lower prices in an effort to combat its pricey "Whole Paycheck" reputation. The company announced its plans during a quarterly financial report on May 6.

 "Today, we are excited to announce the launch of a new, uniquely branded store concept unlike anything that currently exists in the marketplace," said co-chief executive officer Walter Robb. "Offering our industry-leading standards at value prices, this new format will feature a modern, streamlined design; innovative technology; and a curated selection.

 "It will deliver a convenient, transparent and values-oriented experience geared toward millennial shoppers, while appealing to anyone looking for high-quality fresh food at great prices."

 Robb said that the company is "building a team" to focus on this new concept and negotiating leases. No announcements were made on locations.

 The plan is to begin opening stores in 2016, with "rapid expansion" anticipated.

 "We believe the growth potential for this new and complementary brand to be as great as it is for our highly successful Whole Foods Market brand," Robb added. "We look forward to sharing more details about this exciting new venture sometime before Labor Day."
 Texas marijuana laws take another tiny, positive step for mankind 2015-05-05T11:51:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/05-05-15-marijuana-laws-texas-house-committee-approval-austin/
 A bill that would reduce the penalties for marijuana possession in Texas got a nudge forward after an approval on May 4 by a committee in the state House of Representatives. HB 507, authored by Rep. Joe Moody of El Paso, would make possession of up to one ounce of marijuana a civil fine of up to $250.

 The bill was approved by the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. Under current Texas law, individuals who possess less than two ounces of marijuana can be arrested and given a criminal record; they face up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.

 "Texas cannot afford to continue criminalizing tens of thousands of citizens for marijuana possession each year," said Rep. Moody in a statement. "We need to start taking a more level-headed approach. It is neither fair nor prudent to arrest people, jail them and give them criminal records for such a low-level, non-violent offense."

 According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2012, there were 72,150 arrests or citations issued for marijuana-related offenses in Texas — 97 percent of which were for simple possession. And yet, that same year, nearly 90 percent of all burglaries, including home invasions, and 88 percent of all motor vehicle thefts went unsolved.

 Ann Lee, executive director of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP), said that this is a change that Texans want and need.

 "We hope our elected officials will do the right thing here and listen to their constituents," she said. "Our state needs to get out of the business of arresting and criminalizing people for possessing marijuana."

 Lee and her husband, Bob, founded RAMP based on the belief that the prohibition of marijuana is opposed to the Republican principles of limited government, individual responsibility and personal freedom.

 According to a poll conducted by the University of Texas in February 2015, 76 percent of likely voters in Texas favor reform of marijuana laws.

 The Monday night vote was a second chance after three marijuana bills were voted down on May 1, including HB 507 and two others that would reduce small amounts of marijuana possession from a class B to a class C misdemeanor.

 Representative Abel Herrero, chairman of the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence, reconsidered and voted favorably for Moody's HB 507 on Monday, alongside Rep. Terry Canales. Yay Moody, yay Herrero, yay Canales. Voting against the bill were Plano representatives Jeff Leach and Matt Shaheen. Booo Leach, booo Shaheen.

 The measure will now advance to the House Calendars Committee, where it must quickly pass in order to be debated on the House floor. Senate Bill 1417, the companion to Moody's, has been assigned to the Criminal Justice Committee but has not come up for a hearing.
 This Austin high school is one of the most challenging in the nation 2015-04-23T09:29:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/04-23-15-most-challenging-high-schools-list-washington-post-austin/
 One Austin high school ranks among the most challenging in the nation, according to a report by the Washington Post.

 The Ann Richards School for Young Woman Leaders ranks No. 19 out of the most challenging schools. The report covered more than 2,300 campuses nationwide.

 For its formula, the Post took the total number of college-level tests and divided that by the number of seniors who graduated. The tests include the Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education.

 The formula is called the Challenge Index.

 "The Challenge Index is designed to identify schools that have done the best job in persuading average students to take college-level courses and tests," they explain. "It does not work with schools that have no, or almost no, average students. We put those schools on our Public Elites list."

 Some teachers are not impressed by the Post's annual survey. One called it "one of the most flawed and detrimental activities occurring in education today," charging that "administrators obsessed with getting their school recognized on these horrible lists are short-changing the kids."

 A commenter named SuburbanMom suggests that the ranking system be given a more accurate title. "'Most challenging' is not accurate," she says. "How about 'The best at driving out the special ed students and bringing up the bottom?'"

 The outcome is skewed by the fact that some parents must pay for placement tests while other students who qualify for free or reduced lunch take them for free or at a discounted rate. The survey also has at least one school on the list that has since been closed.

 Six other Texas schools join the Ann Richards School in the top 20: three in Dallas and one each in Arlington, Houston and Lubbock.
 Popular Austin bar closes Dallas location after 5 years in business 2015-04-21T09:16:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/04-21-15-henderson-avenue-dallas-j-blacks-closing/
 After five years of serving cocktails and upscale pub grub on trendy Henderson Avenue in Dallas, J. Black's Feel Good Kitchen & Lounge will close on May 2.

 According to a statement from Manera Restaurant Group, which is J. Black's Austin-based owner, the uptick in bars opening on Henderson and surrounding areas created increased competition for business. "With the resurgence of Lower Greenville, the Henderson Avenue location saw a downturn in business, which eventually led to the closing," the statement reads.

 Co-founder Sean Fric said he regretted the closure. "Unfortunately, this location didn't work out as long term as we would've hoped," he said. "But we love Dallas and appreciate the five great years we had here on Henderson."

 J. Black's opened on May 2, 2010, with reasonably priced drinks in a comfortable setting including a showpiece patio at the entrance. It was among the first to host a "bloody Mary bar" with help-yourself toppings.

 The bar will remain open for the next two weeks, ending with a two-day Last Call closing weekend party on May 1-2. Doors open at 4 pm both days and will feature "clear the shelves" drink specials throughout the weekend.

 "Manera Restaurant Group would like to thank their loyal patrons, neighbors, vendors and most importantly their dedicated staff for whom the success of J. Black's would not have been possible," the statement reads.

 The company will renew its focus on the J. Black's locations in Houston and Austin, while also preparing to launch new concepts in Austin.
 Texas brewery crafts malty new beer with the Toadies 2015-04-01T12:49:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/04-01-15-fort-worth-martin-house-beer-toadies-bockslider/
 Rekindling a successful collaboration, Fort Worth's Martin House has partnered with rock band the Toadies on a new beer that's lighter and maltier than the past. The new beer, called Bockslider, is a bock beer whose flavor profile was formulated between band and brewery, says Martin House spokesman David Wedemeier.

 "Bock is a pretty traditional style, although this one will probably be more malty than some of the bocks you might find," he says. "The guys wanted something a little less hoppy and easy drinking. One of their favorite styles is bock."

 One year ago, Martin House and the Toadies released Rubberneck Red, under a similar arrangement, with a release party that included a Toadies concert at the brewery.

 "It's a similar collaboration but this time we're doing it big," Wedemeier says. "The last time we had 500 people at an acoustic show. This time, it'll be fully amplified and we expect thousands on our back lawn."

 The beer will come out the same day. "We'll launch the draft version at the end of April, with distribution on the day of the concert, which is April 26," he says. "And then the beer will come out in cans a couple weeks after that."

 The label art combines the meaning of bock with a reference to the inspiration, a song by the Toadies called "Backslider."

 "'Bock' is German for goat, and that's a goat skeleton at a grave," Wedemeier says.

 And as opposed to the Rubberneck release, which came out in a four-pack of 16-ounce cans, this will be a traditional six-pack of 12-ounce cans. Its lifespan will probably run about two to three months.

 "We don't make anything like this right now," Wedemeier says. "We made a porter a while ago, and we make a stout which is malty. But this is a unique beer for us."
 Rolling Stones choose only one Texas stop on upcoming Zip Code tour 2015-03-31T11:55:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/03-31-15-rolling-stones-summer-concert-tour-att-stadium-arlington-atx/
 The Rolling Stones have announced a 15-city North American stadium tour and only one Texas city is on the list. Their Zip Code tour, which launches in San Diego on May 24, hits AT&T Stadium in Arlington on June 6.

 The tour also hits Columbus, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Orlando, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Detroit and Buffalo before wrapping in Quebec on July 15.

 "We are excited to be back in North America playing stadiums this summer," Mick Jagger said in a release. "We are looking forward to being back on stage and playing your favorite songs."

 The Zip Code tour will see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood back on the road after their critically acclaimed 14 On Fire tour in Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2014. It's the first Rolling Stones tour since the band played North American stadiums on 2005-2007's A Bigger Bang Tour.

 The stage design for the stadium shows will include a thrust that extends deep into the audience, allowing the Stones to interact directly with their fans. The set will also feature video screens and special effects.

 The tour coincides with the May 26 re-release of their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers, one of the band's most revered releases with tracks such as "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," "Bitch" and "Dead Flowers."

 Tickets and VIP packages for the Arlington show go on sale Monday, April 13 at 10 am. American Express card members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning at 10 am on Wednesday, April 8 through Sunday, April 12 at 10 pm for select markets.

 Starbucks adds new menu items that are convenient and healthy 2015-03-30T08:58:00-05:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/03-30-15-starbucks-wraps-thai-chicken-edamame-hummus-atx/
 We may love Starbucks for its espresso beverages, hot and cold, but the coffee majordomo has another menu expansion that fits in with the modern-day healthy-eating trend. On March 31, the chain introduces two new wrap sandwiches designed for lunch and dinner.

 There's the Thai-style peanut chicken wrap and the edamame hummus wrap, both weighing in under 500 calories.

 "Our customers are looking for convenient, delicious, grab-and-go options with wholesome ingredients," said Starbucks VP Clarice Turner in a release.

 The edamame hummus wrap has spinach, zucchini and bell peppers layered in a creamy herb spread, and it's cut into pinwheels so it is portable and easy to eat while on the go. It's paired with a creamy roasted tomato sauce and sesame flax crackers.

 The Thai-style peanut chicken wrap has grilled chicken, vegetables, ginger cream cheese and chile lime spread.

 Starbucks has one wrap with egg whites, spinach, feta cheese and tomatoes that's pitched as a breakfast item. A staffer at the Lakewood store said the wrap is among the chain's most popular products.

 "We sell out of it pretty quickly, it's so convenient," the staffer said. "We've heard from customers who wanted more options."
 Austin boutique grocery expands to high-profile Dallas neighborhood 2015-03-01T12:40:00-06:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/03-01-15-royal-blue-grocery-dallas-highland-park-village/
 Royal Blue Grocery, the Austin-based urban market with lots of prepared foods to go in addition to supermarket basics, is expanding to Dallas' Highland Park Village. It will replace a space previously occupied by Tom Thumb.

 Royal Blue spokesman David Staley did not return emails, but HPV owner Ray Washburne said the deal was signed, with an opening targeted for July 1.

 Tom Thumb announced its intent to leave the center Highland Park Village a year ago and finally closed in November 2014; rumors of its replacement were tossed around, such as Dean & DeLuca.

 There are five Royal Blue Grocery stores in Austin, all in the downtown area and each custom-fitted to its neighborhood. For example, one in a residential building offers lots of to-go meals. Insert joke here about what might best suit Park Cities locals. All Royal Blue Grocery stores feature Stumptown Coffee, and some have nitro cold brew on tap.

 At 5,500 square feet, the new market will not take up all of the old Tom Thumb space, which was small even by supermarket standards at 18,500 square feet.
 Jury reaches guilty verdict in American Sniper murder trial 2015-02-25T08:11:46-06:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/02-25-15-verdict-american-sniper-trial-chris-kyle-eddie-ray-routh/
 After little more than two hours' of deliberation, a jury found Eddie Ray Routh, 27, guilty of capital murder in the fatal shootings of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield.

 The verdict came in just after 9 pm in the court of Erath County Judge Jason Cashon, who sentenced Routh to life without possibility of parole.

 Routh, a former Marine, shot Kyle and Littlefield during a trip to an outdoor shooting range on February 2, 2013. After the crime, he confessed to the police that he "had to kill men today."

 The prosecutors did not seek the death penalty. The jury, comprised of 10 women and two men, heard nine days of testimony from witnesses including Kyle's widow Taya and mother.

 Routh pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, and a doctor at a Veterans Affairs hospital diagnosed him with PTSD. But the jury determined that it was not the cause of the murders.

 Kyle, a former Navy Seal, was the subject of a movie and book, American Sniper.
 Radical pay-what-you-want film Hits stops in Austin on Thursday 2015-02-08T12:00:00-06:00 Teresa Gubbins http://austin.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/02-08-15-david-cross-pay-what-you-want-movie-hits/
 Austin will be part of an experimental film tour by comedian David Cross, whose first feature film, Hits, will screen for one day at Violet Crown Cinema. The unusual part is the payment structure: You pay whatever you want.

 It's the first feature film to be released on BitTorrent, with pay-what-you-want theatrical screenings in 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada — including Austin, Dallas and Houston — on February 12. The film also has Texas ties in producers Ryan Brooks, who's from Houston, and Jessica Latham, who's from Amarillo.

 Hits, a dark comedy exploring the nature of fame, debuted at Sundance in 2014. It stars an ensemble cast, including Michael Cera, Matt Walsh, David Koechner, Meredith Hagner, Jason Ritter, Amy Sedaris, Wyatt Cenac, James Adomian, Amy Carlson, Kurt Braunohler, Erinn Hayes, Jessie Ennis and Jake Cherry.

 Cross says that the atypical release of the film is an experiment to see if filmmaking can become more "sustainable." He's also simultaneously releasing Hits as a BitTorrent bundle, a publishing project that connects artists directly with fans.

 Cross says he was inspired by similar ventures executed by musician Thom Yorke, Radiohead and comedian Louis CK. Radiohead was first to try pay-what-you-want with their 2007 release In Rainbows, and Thom Yorke sold his 2014 album Tomorrow's Modern Boxes on BitTorrent. Louis CK has sold comedy specials directly to customers, including his successful January 2015 release Live at the Comedy Store.

 Hits will screen at Violet Crown Cinema on February 12 at 6 pm. Tickets will be available at the box office that day beginning at 11 am are are limited to four per person. Cash only.

Quick in and out. Always have good experience with Orchard UHaul.
It took them a very long time to even acknowledge that I was even there. From what I could see they weren't that busy. No one was at the counter to help me for 20 minutes.
We've been coming to this one for the last 5 years, we have moved just about every year... We love it! We've always had great customer service in person and over the phone booking the reservations! Thank you!
There was an issue during checkin where the equipment I had reserved wouldn't be allowed to be checked out electronically. It took the guys a while to get the system to allow them to check out the vehicle by transferring the truck out and then back into the location. Maybe patch this bug orool into is? Other then that the ladies running the place were professional and able to handle the mass of customer well.
Your staff members were friendly and on the spot, the vehicle was in great shape, and the return process was a snap. Thank you for a great experience!
I would like to thank Keesha White for helping us to remove the contents of a storage that had been unused for eight years. We also got a new 20 ft truck in lieu of a 15 ft truck which, as it turned out, worked better for us. The entire staff was very friendly.
Efficient and courteous staff. Truck was ready when I arrived and was in good shape. Return after hours was no problem.
it was roasting hot in the building. I felt sorry for the employees who had to work in that environment, I think it was actually cooler outside.
I represent a 501c19 VFW Post 1173 in Boise, ID.
We were receiving a donation from Lowe's Meridian, ID.
Their donation was over $2,000.00 for disable Veterans Ramps. Your store managers could not provide an in kind donation of a truck for 3 hours. What does this say when a corporation as large as Lowes can give back to our local veterans but U-Haul wants to make money on our efforts. I did ask for an exception but was informed none was allowed. You got your $48.00 but you could have made several thousands of value to a donation to the Veterans community. I would like to honor your efforts but unfortunately cannot............Think about this for a moment.

Awesome staff. Very friendly. Very helpful. Thanks for making it easy.
Excellent customer service.
picked up on Friday afternoon and the place was busy and appeared understaffed. the staff worked very hard trying their best to accommodate all
When we first reserved the trailer we were to pick it up at the Chinden location. When we arrived they flatly responded that the prior customer failed to bring it back and they transferred our reservation to the Orchard location. My husband was not impressed with the Chinden location representative. Said he offered no apology for the inconvenience and was not friendly. We were grateful to have received much better and friendlier service from Orchard street location.
Great service.
I reserved a 17ft to haul my trailer. My daughter's boyfriend called and talked with a male employee who stated the 1/2 ton pickup would haul the trailer without a problem. So I changed the reservation, I indicated I needed the equivalent of 3/4 ton or higher in both calls. When I rented and attempted to use the pickup the lever snapped off the height adjuster. When I returned the truck I was charged for the time and miles used and no explanation of whether the insurance I paid would cover the broken lever was discussed. The information of tongue weight I needed was only discussed after the first issue failed. I should be refunded and the damage repaired for your employees not hearing me tell them and ask them if the truck was a 3/4 ton. Kat Bridwell 208 867 0455
Great customer service. ..friendly people. .wouldn't change a thing!
Terrific Customer Service!
Everyone there was very pleasant and more than willing to help me check in.
The uhaul was the best part of my move!
Make sure the rates are the same as quoted.
Friendly prompt service would be nice. Recognize a customer is there, even if you're busy.
We picked up the equipment here but it was dropped off at a different locale. The staff here we have no complaints with. They were very helpful, the place clean and well run. The equipment had, however, been serviced poorly. So it is hard to fairly say, what went wrong, where...
Everything was awesome. Friendly service, was fast service. No wait time. Will recommend this uhaul store. Thank you.
Job well done. Very friendly and helpful staff, fast service. Thanks U-Haul.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
06 Oct 2013 16:28 GMT | Sport, Japan
Trainer Criquette Head-Maarek won her first Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe in 34 years on Sunday after impressive filly Treve powered clear of a high class field at Longchamp.
When the pace picked up, the Sheikh Joaan Al Thani-owned filly took the lead as Joshua Tree dropped away.
The way she won was incredible because she didn't have the best of races
Criquette Head-Maarek, Treve trainer
Treve had five lengths in hand over favourite Orfevre, finishing second again after beaten a neck last year, as jockey Thierry Jarnet completed a hat-trick of Arc victories despite only taking the ride late last week after Frankie Dettori suffered a season-ending injury.Head-Maarek, who first won Europe's richest race with Three Troikas in 1979, was full of praise for her unbeaten horse who has now won the French Oaks, Prix Vermeille and the Arc in one season."The way she won was incredible because she didn't have the best of races. She was never covered up. She had to come on the outside all the way," the 64-year-old told Channel 4 television."It leads you to think that when horses are good, numbers at the start make no difference and the ground, no difference."She also had a mention for the stricken Dettori, thanking him for the way in which he rode Treve in the Prix Vermeille."I want to say thank you to Frankie Dettori because he rode an amazing race on her in the Vermeille - he saved her for today."Japan are still seeking an elusive Arc victory after Orfevre, trained by Yasutoshi Ikee, could not match Treve's acceleration at the business end of the race.

The synthesis of capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) conjugated with an antibody (AB) as a gatekeeper has been carried out in order to obtain a delivery system able to release an entrapped cargo (dye) in the presence of a target molecule (antigen) to which the conjugated antibody binds selectively. In particular, MSN loaded with rhodamine B and functionalized on the external surface with a suitable derivative of N-(t-butyl)-3-oxo-(5α,17β)-4-aza-androst-1-ene-17-carboxamide (finasteride) have been prepared (S1). The addition of polyclonal antibodies against finasteride induced capping of the pores due to the interaction with the anchored hapten-like finasteride derivative to give a MSN–hapten–AB nanoparticle S1-AB. It was found that the addition of capped material S1-AB to water solutions containing finasteride resulted in displacement of the antibody, pore uncapping and entrapped-dye release. The response of the gated material is highly selective, and only finasteride, among other steroids, was able to induce a significant uncapping process. Compared with finasteride, the finasteride metabolite was able to release 17 % of the dye, whereas the exogen steroids testosterone, metenolone and 16-β-hydroxystanozolol only induced very little release of rhodamine B (lower than 10 %) from aqueous suspensions containing sensing solid S1-AB. A detection limit as low as 20 ppb was found for the fluorimetric detection of finasteride. In order to evaluate a possible application of the material for label-free detection of finasteride, the capped material was isolated and stored to give final sensing solid S1-AB-i. It was found to display a similar behavior towards finasteride as to that shown by freshly prepared S1-AB; even after a period of two months, no significant loss of selectivity or sensitivity was noted. Moreover, to study the application for the detection of finasteride in biological samples, this "aged" material, S1-AB-i, was tested using commercially available blank urine as matrix. Samples containing 70 and 90 % blank urine were spiked with a defined amount of finasteride, and the concentration was determined using capped S1-AB-i. Recovery ranges from 94 % to 118 % were reached.

Today, math enthusiasts around the world celebrate the mysteriously long number, Pi, which has been calculated to over 1 trillion digits passed the decimal. The Greek letter represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and has roused an annual celebration on 3/14 for the past four years. Pi is a transcendental and irrational number, meaning it will continue infinitely without repeating, which is why it has confused yet fascinated mathematicians for centuries. For years, Pi Day has been bringing fun to math classrooms as well as admitted math geeks around the world. Even those who are not typically excited over math equations often take part in the celebration, for example, by eating pie! There is an endless amount of ways to take part in the celebration. For example, take on a Pi Day Challenge. If you're looking for more unique ways to celebrate, check out […]

When Kristen Wiig left Saturday Night Live earlier this year, we were a bit crushed. But recently we've become quite attached to newcomer Kate McKinnon, whose impersonation of Chelsea Handler (as the Swedish host of Helga Lately)
instantly had us hooked. Tonight, the comedic blonde returns to UCB, where she honed her improv chops, for
Characters Welcome, the monthly showcase, hosted by Michael Hartney and Justin Tyler (at UCB's East Village outpost), that brings together comedians to perform their favorite original characters and impressions. And, when it comes to impressions, McKinnon won't be short on material.

text: Pendulum - The Island (Steve Angello, AN21 & Max Vangeli remix) by AN21 published on 2010/11/25 14:54:35 +0000 Download now on beatport: http://bit.ly/eAWq4p Pete Tong plays the almighty remix of the Pendulum's 'The Island' on his BBC Radio 1 Show, due for release on the 24th November. "3 of the world's biggest names in dance join forces to nail an absolute monster of a track from Pendulum...what are you waiting for?" Sure to bed itself firmly as a soaring dance anthem, "The Island" is a perfect example of the heavy progressive sound that has emerged from the band's desire to innovate their musical palette -- an uplifting yet sinister atmosphere amongst a vicious attack of grinding beats and synths. Steve Angello needs little introduction. As 33.3% of the Swedish House Mafia, the in your face and in demand elite collective, joins two of the hottest breakthrough electronic artists of 2010; Steve's skilled sibling AN21 and new kid on the block Max Vangeli who are both responsible for the massive 'Swedish Beauty'. With their chart topping music played by Superstar DJs worldwide including Tiesto and David Guetta, the three heavyweights combine huge sonic distortion and thundering drum loops with their infectious and unmistakable dance floor production; turning Pendulum's "The Island" into one of this years hottest remixes. The release will feature as a Beatport exclusive & Steve has had massive Beatport success this year with four number ones already under his belt -- from KNAS, his edit of Harry Romero & Jnr Sanchez 'Where You Are' both on SIZE & 'One' & 'Miami 2 Ibiza' with Swedish House Mafia, and we are sure "The Island" can round it off to 5... Following Pendulum's headlining sets at the Reading and Leeds festivals, the remix's pumping synthesised melody and powerful vocals sparked a huge reaction at this years ADE in Amsterdam and has been one of the biggest tracks to feature in recent Swedish House Mafia's sets.

Style Files: Katy Perry Kicks Off Keyhole Dress Trend
They say three makes a trend. And while Katy Perry, in a sea foam green Gucci 2013 resort wear gown, may have kicked keyhole dresses into a whole new sphere of consciousness on the red carpet at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards growing celebrity and designer embrace of the style doesn't stop there.
The style is poised to make a comeback and variations rolled down the runway during New York Fashion Week from designers like Rachel Zoe (below), Carolina Herrera and Diane Von Fursterburg.

The trifecta who've officially made this trend a threesome include Julianne Hough at the Tommy Hilfiger New West Coast Flagship Opening, in a navy Tommy Hilfiger design, on February 13 and Ashley Benson at the Spring Breakers premiere in Paris, wearing a black floor length gown by Amit GT with ample keyhole cleavage on display, on February 18.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Swedish Attraction
by Paul on 11/20/07 at 03:56 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Karl Samuelson at NHL.com,
Today, every NHL team has a Swede in its lineup, but one team has eclipsed all others in the successful integration of Swedish hockey players – the Detroit Red Wings.
Five of Detroit's top 10 scorers last season were Swedes, and this season seven of their regulars hail from the "Land of the Midnight Sun."
So what is it about the Red Wings' organizational culture that enables Swedish players to excel?
