Sharon Van Etten @ Cameo, 12/15/2012
This was so so so so so so lovely. What a treat to see Sharon in such a small space again with just a guitar & Heather Broderick on backing vocals for some of the songs. Sharon commented at one point that it was nice to see no one in the room wearing Santa hats and that this was the anti-Santacon. - BV photographer Amanda HatfieldA not very well kept "surprise," Sharon Van Etten, whose last NYC show was headlining Town Hall, was the "special guest" at the show she presented at Cameo on Saturday (12/15) that featured official sets from She Keeps Bees and Speck Mountain. Sharon's was a nice 12-song set, stripping down her backing to just guitar for the rare and intimate appearance. If you missed it, NYC Taper was on hand and already has his recording of the show up for you to download and you can stream her doing "Consolation Prize" below. Pictures are also in this post.
Sharon Van Etten will soon be on tour with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, hitting Beacon Theatre on March 28 - 29. Tickets are still available. More pictures from Saturday night's Cameo show are below.

Orca Team at NYC Popfest 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Looking more than a little like Joy Division, black-clad Seattlites Orca Team played Knitting Factory on Friday night (5/18) as part of NYC Popfest and were one of the highlights of the weekend for me. Though his resemblance to Ian Curtis was unmistakable, singer/bassist Leif Anders laid down a serious groove with his instrument (played high Beatles style) and never stopped dancing the whole set. Orca Team were crazy tight and a lot of fun.If you missed their terrific Popfest set a couple weeks ago, Seattle's Orca Team are spending the bulk of Summer 2012 on the road, hitting most spots in the U.S., including two stops in NYC: Cameo on July 1 and Cake Shop on July 18. In between those two NYC dates, the band will fly to Europe for a few dates surrounding the Indietracks Festival which happends July 6 - 8 in Derbyshire, UK. All upcoming Orca Team tour dates are listed below.
Look for Orca Team's new album, Restraint, to be out June 14 on the fine Happy Birthday to Me label. In the meantime, you can watch video of Orca Team's Popfest performance below as well as their video for "Too Busy to Love Me."

UT's MAC title game bid on the line at NIUWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The annual I-75 battle between the Rockets and the Falcons is Toledo's traditional rivalry game. But save for season-long bragging rights and a shiny new trophy to put on display until the next meeting, that contest holds little weight in the context of each program's Mid-American Conference championship hopes given that they're in different MAC divisions.
A rivalry that has become more chippy and albeit more important for UT as of late is that of its yearly matchup with Northern Illinois, a MAC West Division opponent which has been the team that's crushed the Rockets' MAC title game hopes in each of the last two seasons.
NIU scored a total of 128 points in those contests with a 65-30 blowout home victory in 2010 and a 63-60 shootout win on the road in 2011, representing two of Toledo's three MAC losses in its last 22 conference games.
"They've won two big football games because honestly, they [were more physical than] us and they beat us," UT head coach Matt Campbell said. "So, I think our kids know that. We've got great respect for their program and what they do, but we've got great faith in who we are and where we're at right now and we look forward to the challenge next Wednesday night."
While the Falcons will always be the Rockets' primary rival, the growing magnitude of UT's yearly matchup with the Huskies cannot be understated, and certainly isn't in DeKalb, Ill.
"I was told the first day on campus," second-year NIU head coach Dave Doeren said on the rivalry at the Huskies' weekly press conference on Nov. 8. "You know, when you have your press conference, tons of people walk up to you and congratulate you, and many of them said, 'Hey, beat Toledo.' And so kind of right away, I knew 'Hey, this is a big game here.'
"It wasn't something that I don't think nationally people think of that game. But for [former NIU head coach Joe] Novak, that was one team I know that it was always him and Toledo for the league all the time, and Toledo obviously got a lot of those wins."
Nearly five years after Novak retired, the story will be the same when the Rockets (8-2, 5-1 MAC) take on the Huskies (9-1, 6-0 MAC) at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb on Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
If UT wins, it will still need to defeat Akron (1-10, 0-7 MAC) at home on Nov. 20 to represent the MAC West Division in the MAC Championship at Ford Field on Nov. 30. If NIU wins, it will have the MAC title game bid locked up.
While Doeren said that he doesn't have any bad blood or ill will towards the Toledo football program, his team's annual meeting with the Rockets is one both NIU and its fan base particularly looks forward to.
On Northern Illinois' official athletic website—niuhuskies.com—a promo for Wednesday's game is the first thing visitors see when they go to the site. It encourages NIU fans to wear black to the "Senior Day" contest and features a video with highlights of the Huskies' win over the Rockets in Toledo last year.
In addition, the rivalry took an odd and more chippy turn in last year's contest, when Huskies' sophomore linebacker Jamaal Bass jumped into a UT band member and knocked over another as he made his way onto the field at the Glass Bowl. With the band members left hospitalized with concussions, Bass ended up receiving a three-game suspension and was indicted on assault charges.
Add in that Toledo defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Tom "Tuke" Matukewicz served on the Huskies' coaching staff for the last four seasons prior to his arrival at UT, and there's more than enough fuel for each team's fire heading into Wednesday night's matchup.
"They do a great job," senior strong safety Jermaine Robinson said of NIU's atmosphere. Robinson is tied for the MAC lead with four interceptions. "From the time we get there, we're stuck in traffic trying to get in there. That's how ready they'll go for that game. And by the time we get out and warming up, their stadium's already halfway full, so it's up there. I mean, it's for the [MAC] championship."
Though UT holds a 29-10 edge over NIU in the series, including an 11-7 mark in DeKalb and an 18-3 mark in Toledo, the Rockets are 1-3 in their last four against the Huskies. Additionally, Northern Illinois is the MAC's winningest program over the last 10 years (87-50) with 13 seniors that make up the winningest class in school history, also sporting the nation's longest home win streak at 20 games.
"A big thing with this week is just senior leadership, myself included," said senior linebacker Dan Molls, who leads the MAC and is tied for No. 1 in the nation with 132 total tackles this season. "We've really got to kind of take control of the team this week and just bring an extreme amount of focus and just prepare better than we ever have before."
NIU is the MAC leader in scoring offense (40.6 ppg) and total offense (478 ypg) and No. 2 in the conference in scoring defense (17.9 ppg) and total defense (375.4 ypg). The game will feature the MAC's top two rushers in junior running back David Fluellen and Huskies' junior quarterback Jordan Lynch, who rank No. 2 and No. 5 in the nation in rushing yards, respectively. Lynch also leads the MAC in total offensive yards per game (351.7).
"It's really a thing where, you know, it's a family thing," Fluellen said of playing at NIU. Fluellen has 12 touchdowns in 2012 and is tied for second in the NCAA with 1,381 rushing yards, averaging six yards per carry. "Everybody's there. Your back's against the wall. Everybody around you is not with you.
"That's the kind of thing you want to live up for and [be] like, 'All right. It's us against them. Nobody here is with us, and we're all we've got. We've got to go out there and do what we've got to do.'"
For Campbell, this year's matchup with Northern Illinois will come down to the details, an area of focus the Rockets have struggled with in their last two meetings with the Huskies. UT gave up back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns against NIU in 2011 and converted just two third downs in a 2010 matchup where it trailed 28-0 at halftime.
"I think that their ability to show up from the get-go has been one of the things that's probably been the most impressive about this Northern Illinois team," Campbell said. "And I think when you look at us, I remember being on that field there two years ago and we didn't show up. We didn't show up until about halftime.
"So I think it's a great lesson for all of us involved, and there's a lot of our guys that were involved in that football game. But again, this game will be decided on the details."

The 1990s brought surprising industrial development in emerging economies around the globe: firms in countries not previously known for their high-technology industries moved to the forefront in new Information Technologies (IT) by using different business models and carving out unique positions in the global IT production networks. In this book Dan Breznitz asks why economies of different countries develop in different ways, and his answer relies on his exhaustive research into the comparative experiences of Israel, Taiwan, and Ireland-states that made different choices to nurture the growth of their IT industries. The role of the state in economic development has changed, Breznitz concludes, but it has by no means disappeared. He offers a new way of thinking about state-led rapid-innovation-based industrial development that takes into account the ways production and innovation are now conducted globally. And he offers specific guidelines to help states make advantageous decisions about research and development, relationships with foreign firms and investors, and other critical issues.
Dan Breznitz is an associate professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs and the College of Management, and an associate professor by courtesy at the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Bruce Giantonio, MD, associate professor of Hematology/Oncology in the Abramson Cancer Center, is quoted in an MSNBC.com story about new data from the Women's Health Study showing that women who took low dose aspirin on alternate days for 18 years saw a 20 percent drop in their risk of developing colon cancer. Despite the promising implications of the findings, Giantonio hopes people don't take the wrong message from the new study. "People taking aspirin or NSAIDs shouldn't interpret these findings as meaning they can avoid screening," he said. "I think there's going to be a temptation to do that, but you still have to follow the recommendations."

The morning of June 2nd, I awoke around 8ish. I had a couple of stronger, but painless contraxs. Dh woke and we lay together in bed. Dh touched me in the way for intimacy and I thought afternoon would be more fun, more time. Then I thought why not, LOL, maybe it start the contraxs stronger, maybe this is baby day. So we made love, I finished, got up to go to the restroom and my water spilled out. I looked at the bed and saw a huge wet spot so my water broke as I climaxed. Dh had yet to finish so I offered, but he said he couldn't now. I felt alot of adreneline and excited, but scared. I went to take a shower, it was around 9am. I announced the the kids that my water had broken. The contractions in the shower were relatively mild and I wondered w/ a few if they were a contractions or what.
I came back up to my room and dh had set up the pool, started filling up. He had put the old sheets on and chux on as well. I then took calcium and vit C, for contraxs pain and broken waters. I was leaking all over and lined my bedroom w/ chux pads. I noticed that the waters were stained w/ meconium. It was light and w/o pieces thankfully. I looked up in Heart and Hands about mecomium to refresh my memory since I had never dealt w/ the issue before. I knew from reading that the new reccomendation was no suctioning for light mecomium. I prayed off and on and walked around my room. I had a commode upstairs and used that. I had loose stools often. I told dh as he sat on the bed and I on the toilet this was the ultimate in surrender and letting go, to have no control at all as to some basic functions of your body. The contractions were relatively mild so far, but were increasing lightly in intensity. At some point I checked my cervix and could feel some thickness left along w/ the baby's head and some soft down of hair. After a bit I laid on the bed as the contractions got more intense. Dh asked what I wanted, if I wanted him to touch me and I said just hold my hand. After a time I called to the kids to pray the rosary and I got into the pool. It felt too hot at first and I asked dh to put more cold water in, but then said no, it feels fine. So he turned off the water. The contractions were getting very intense and I could hear the kids praying which brought much comfort. At this point I start to lose track of anyting and all I fear is intense pain as I ride the contractions. Soon I started to feel pushy and pushed a wee bit. I felt so overwhelmed and at timesmy breathing was ragged. I felt close to total panic. I reminded myself as dh did to breathe deeply. For the first time dh doesn't question if I should be pushing yet, LOL. It was planned that Arden would take birth pics, as she had last time, and dh kept asking if I wanted her to come now, but I kept saying no. I didn't want her to see the raw intensity of this birth. I regret it now though, I wish I had those pics. I have usually felt the need to push when baby meets the perinium, but this time I felt the urge earlier. I swayed, got on my knees and begged God to help me. I felt almost crazy, I could hear dh tell me it will be ok and could feel him holding my hand. I know I must have looked wild, I could myself on a totally different plane of life, like I knew there was people here, but it was only me. And in a way it is b/c no one could fix this pain or intensity, only me, by pushing out the baby. It is such and odd feeling in that spot. As I had another contraction on my knees I felt a pop as he passed my bones and his head filled my vagina. I pushed w/ every bit and had my hand there as his head crowned. On my knees I pushed his head out and then sat back to push the rest of him out. I puhed w/ more might and out he came thank the Lord. As I lifted him out he had the cord wrapped once over his neck, in the back. I lifted my torso out of the water to unlooped as I told dh he had a short cord. After I unlooped it he gave a lusty cry and continued to cry. I then looked and of course he was a boy! There was no consoling him, as he must have had just as much of an intense birth as I had laboring w/ him. Dh called all the kids and they came right after. I felt slightly stunned, as I often do right after birth. W/in minutes some blood came. Finnian, my toddler looked very confused about the baby. Then they all went downstairs and put Finnian to bed. I got out of the pool as dh helped me, by carrying Esca w/ the cord still attached and pulsating.
I laid back on our bed w/ Esca. I felt his cord was now cool, limp and no longer pulsating so dh clamped it and cut. I wanted the placemnta out and sked dh to bring the bowl. I pulled a bit on the cord and could feel the placenta right there so I asked dh to cup the bowl around so I could push it ino the bowl. It slipped out easliy. It was the first time I had not squatted to birth the placenta. I then sat down w/ him on bed and looked him over. He was so squishy and adorable. I then dressed him, nursed and we rested.
Wow, Annabelle. That does sound like a very intense birth! You did so well keeping your cool, though. I completely remember that panicky feeling. Congratulations to all of you! Great job Mama!!!

Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad

Category: Main Course
Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Ashley Bothwell
For a satisfying last-minute supper, it's hard to beat a sweet potato zapped in the microwave. The fragrant filling of beans and tomatoes adds protein. Be sure to eat the skin, which is full of fiber, as well.
"I used curry powder instead of cardamon and 1/3 of a can of tomatoes instead of fresh. It was really tasty. My son had some of the leftover bean mixture pureed and used it as a dip for corn chips. I'm glad I have some leftovers.
Recipe Source: Eating Well
4 medium sweet potatoes
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
Meanwhile, in a medium microwaveable bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, oil, cumin, coriander and salt; microwave on High until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over medium heat.)
When just cool enough to handle, slash each sweet potato lengthwise, press open to make a well in the center and spoon the bean mixture into the well. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Associated Press
COLUMBIA — South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley is asking voters to give the mayor of the state's capital city more power. Voters in the Democratic stronghold will decide Tuesday whether to move to a strong mayor form of government, transferring most of the authority held by the city manager to the elected mayor. As in most South Carolina municipalities, Columbia's mayoral and council races are officially nonpartisan. Mayor Steve Benjamin ran for state attorney general in 2002 as a Democrat.
A spokesman for Haley's campaign says it shows that politics played no role in her decision to get involved in the local issue.
Rob Godfrey says Haley is backing the strong-mayor push for the same reasons she's fighting for the Legislature to transfer more authority and responsibility to the governor's office.

This version of the classic Hot Brown sandwich takes out the one head-scratching element: the turkey. I mean, it's not like the turkey taste bad, per se. I quite like the turkey in there. But still, it has always felt odd to me to combine what is regarded as one of the healthier meat choices with what has the potential to be the greatest calorific splurge of a sandwich ever created. Replacing the turkey with a grilled juicy hamburger patty realizes that potential. More

Nowhere is this fact more well-known than in Oklahoma, home of the Onion Burger, a burger that is nearly as much onion as it is meat. Today we're gonna talk about how to make your own at home. More
It took the Shake Shack years before it introduced a second burger on its menu aside from its signature Shackburger. When it hit the boards, the Smoke Shack was a near instant hit (we sure loved it).

The frita is a classic regional American burger created by Cuban immigrants in South Florida.

That it goes on just about anything—as a dip for raw vegetables or pita, as a sauce for roasted meats, as a dressing for hearty salads, a rub for grilled corn, and yes, as a sauce for burgers—makes it all the more easy to slip into the trap of making a batch each week and applying it willy-nillilly. It's a trap I really don't mind falling into. More
As a burger lover and a pizza lover, I've always liked the idea of some sort of burger-pizza hybrid, but it never really works according to plan. As our Home Slice Adam can tell you, designing a good hamburger pizza is no easy feat (I've yet to see a successful one anywhere, and pizza burgers rarely fare well either. This one, which is not quite a pizza burger, does a little better, I think. More
We all know how seductive a plate of poutine can be, right? You know, that Canadian late-night dish of fresh fries smothered with squeaky cheese curds and hot, meaty gravy? After a few beers it beckons to you, seduces you. A cheese-clad goddess enrobed in gravy, ready to nip your hangover in the bud. Heck, even without the beer goggles poutine is a pretty tough mistress to turn away. So what happens when your poutine employs her crafty wiles on an unsuspecting burger? The Poutine Burger emerges.

The flavors of bacon, grilled onions, and barbecue sauce have got to be classic for a reason. And it's not just because someone had the bright idea that salty bacon and plenty of sweet, smoky sauce can rescue even a mediocre hamburger. No, it's because when each of the elements is perfect—the burger juicy and medium rare with a smoky char from the grill, the bacon thick cut, crisp, and lacquered in tangy sauce, the onion softened to a sweet, sweet tenderness—it's a flavor combination that's tough to beat. Thing is, we rarely ever receive a perfect barbecue bacon cheeseburger. Here's how to do it. More
The combination of grilled beef in a sweet and salty marinade and kimchi is about as classic as it gets. Think: kalbi or bulgogi. Even the combination of marinated beef, kimchi, and cheese is not unprecedented. Just take a look at the Korean taco craze. Koreans will take slices of American cheese and melt them into their kimchi jjigae. I had an awesome bulgogi hoagie at Broadway Cafe in Ann Arbor last year. Even the Serious Eats book has a recipe for kimchi quesadillas. So to put kimchi on a burger seems only natural. More
A fat patty of grilled beef draped with a melty, oozy slice of pepper jack cheese, topped with roasted green chilis, and a handful of pickled jalapeños, served on a hearty bun with a generous swipe of chipotle mayonnaise. This is the burger that bites back. More
At The Burger Lab, I spend a lot of time playing around with how to form, blend, and cook patties for the optimal burger experience, but I've only rarely delved into the wild world of toppings. So this week, we'll be featuring a custom-topped burger every single day. More

Do you remember the old text-based role-playing games? Where you looked around the scene, picked up seemingly unrelated objects and used them to solve a puzzle? Or maybe you grew up helping Guybrush Threepwood through his adventures in the Tales of Monkey Island. Well, Kaptain Brawe leaps right smack bang into the middle of that genre.
Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World HD by Cateia Games has finally been published by G5 Entertainment for the iPad. The game begins by introducing the setting. The breakthrough in space exploration happened in 1812 — Victorian England with the Ion polar drive. So yes, this is a bit of a steampunk adventure with the most interesting blend of historical objects such as the huge gramophone horn and Victorian furniture with ray guns and wooden spaceships. In the game, intrepid Kaptain Brawe of the Space Police, along with his trusty ensign, eradicates Kribbs (space pirates) and rescues travelers in trouble. Kaptain Brawe is one of those marvelous characters: He takes pride in his duty to protect space travelers and uphold the law. He's a little naïve, a little bumbling, but always means his best. Together with his long-suffering ensign Kralek (who is the real brains behind Brawe's brawn) who remains on the ship and subtly makes fun of Brawe's special brand of inaptness, Brawe starts up Rowboat the robot, fires up the locators and takes off on their first adventure.
First, you must find the manual for Rowboat, which turns out to be written in French, so you have to translate it using the translator, but the translator is broken, so you have to fix it. When you find the locators, you'll find that one of them is missing an antenna, so you have to rig one out of some silicone (which, by the way, is hard as a rock) and some copper tubing ... and that's the short description.
On the iPad, all the action is tap, tap and drag or double tap. A blend between old-school RPG and a hidden-object game, Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World HD is a lovely a blend of genteel Victorian sensibilities and futuristic space-age adventure as seen in the graphics and text conversation. The graphics are a treat to the eye with subtle glows of color and gorgeous details. The backgrounds and areas that Brawe enters are varied, each with their own distinct character. The character animation is so smooth, you think you are watching a cartoon. The only thing lacking is voice, but sounds and music are still top-notch. Background music isn't incessant but does fade out and other themes introduced when you approach different areas, meet different characters or do different actions. Remember the old cartoons when you know the villain is approaching because of the music? Such musical themes are present in this game as well.
The tutorial is short, sweet and repeatable in case you missed something (especially useful for younger kids) but also sets up the relationship between Brawe and Kralek. Kralek doesn't think a whole lot of his superior, who of course doesn't notice at all. On the one hand, Kralek supports Brawe, but on the other sabotages him subtly, and this interaction brings on the smiles of amusement. There isn't any outright slapstick, but the humor runs through the game. There are several levels/adventures in the game, and you will meet several colorful characters along the way. Some of the puzzles are straightforward, but some are certainly head scratchers. The Internet savvy can find "cheat sheets" for Kaptain Brawe if need be.
Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World HD is a brilliant old-school sci-fi space adventure game wrapped up in Victorian trappings. It presents the best elements of the genre with strong characters, great scripting, humor, excellent sound, music and challenging puzzles. The only question is ... Hardcore or Casual mode?
The first level is a free demo; to unlock the rest, it's $4.99 for iPhone/iPod touch and $6.99 for the iPad.

First Union, the No. 6 U.S. bank holding company, said today its third-quarter profits rose 6 percent, topping estimates, as it turns around its operations after prior unwieldy acquisitions.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based bank, which has about $260 billion in assets and more than 2,200 branches, earned $852 million, or 86 cents a diluted share in the quarter, compared with $802 million, or 84 cents a share, a year ago. Excluding gains and restructuring charges, the company earned $702 million, or 71 cents a share, in the quarter.
Wall Street had expected the bank to earn 69 cents a share in the quarter, according to First Call/Thomson Financial, which tracks analysts' consensus earnings forecasts.
First Union is in the midst of a $3 billion restructuring plan, announced at the end of June, to revive revenue growth after troubles integrating a string of acquisitions. Its stock has tumbled about 40 percent from its 52-week high of $44-5/16 hit last November.
Many U.S. regional banks face slower revenue growth after a series of interest rate increases that have put pressure on lending profits. Higher rates make it more costly for banks to borrow to fund loans and sometimes make borrowers default.
UAL Posts $64 Million Loss
UAL, parent of United Airlines, the world's largest airline, said today it lost a greater-than-expected $64 million in the third quarter, before one-time items, as flight cancellations, delays and higher costs for jet fuel and wages hurt results.
Chicago-based UAL said the $64 million loss amounted to $1.29 a share, compared with a profit of $359 million, or $2.89 a share, a year earlier. The last time the company lost money was in 1993.
Analysts on average had forecast a loss of 54 cents, according to First Call/Thomson Financial, with estimates ranging from a loss of $1.15 to a loss of 20 cents.
Including a loss on warrants the company owns in Priceline.com, a charge for planned early retirement of four leased aircraft and a loss associated with the early retirement of debt, UAL lost $116 million, or $2.30 a share.
Revenues rose 1.2 percent to $4.91 billion from $4.85 billion a year earlier.
UAL, which has agreed to acquire US Airways Group Inc. for $4.3 billion, had warned twice during the third quarter that its results would fall short of analysts' earnings forecasts for the second half of the year. Prior to the last warning in September, analysts had expected the company to earn 97 cents a share for the quarter.
UAL said reduced capacity levels to address operational problems will continue to hurt its fourth-quarter performance. Additional costs from its new pilot contract, expected to be ratified this month, and from other labor contracts being negotiated and higher fuel prices, will likely cause it to lose money in the fourth quarter, the company said. BACK TO TOP
E*Trade Profitable in Q4
E*Trade, the No. 2 U.S. Internet broker, posted today a quarterly profit compared to a loss in the year-ago period as it sold investment assets and kept a lid on advertising spending.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, which has 3.3 million customers, reported a net profit of $47.7 million, or 15 cents per share, for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept 30. That compared with a net loss of $28.0 million, or a loss of 10 cents per share, in the same period last year. Net revenue rose 76 percent to $340 million.

Reckon you could give Jamie or Nigella a run for their money?
Would you like to help us raise some money for a leading UK Food Bank charity? We have just the thing...
Times have never been tougher than in recent years, and many of us have found ourselves needing to stretch the food budget to make it last. To show just how difficult it can be to feed our families on a limited budget, we have teamed up with leading food charity The Trussell Trust, to bring you the Buyagift £3 Challenge!
Between the 15th November and 15th December 2013, we will be asking you to prepare a delicious meal for a minimum of two people - without exceeding a tricky £3 budget.
The more creative you can be without overspending, the greater the chance you'll have of winning a delicious meal for two at a top London restaurant, a gourmet cooking lesson - and we'll also throw in a spa day for two. In support of the great work they do in the wider community, we will also be donating £600 to the Trussell Trust on behalf of the winner!
The winning meal will receive:
Remember: While we have specified that the meal needs to be a minimum of one course, we may give you extra kudos for
creating more than one dish - but ONLY if it is still creative, and within the budget.
The Trussell Trust empowers local communities to combat poverty and exclusion in the UK and Bulgaria. In the UK their foodbank network fed 355,000 in the six months from April to September, three times the number fed in the whole of the previous year. Each of those people had hit crisis point and found themselves with no money for food. This may be because of redundancy, benefit delays, domestic violence or simply receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. Trussell Trust foodbanks supply enough food to last for three days and point clients in the direction of other services that can help. Working with churches and community groups their ultimate aim is to open a foodbank in every community that needs one. Find out more at www.trusselltrust.org.
This competition is open to everybody over the age of 16 in the UK and Ireland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow.,
This review is from: Everything Matters!: A Novel (Hardcover)
Now, I know that word tends to be my fall-back summation when I'm really, really gassed by a novel. Or, more specifically, by what a novelist has done. The 'oomph' the effort shows the writer possesses. It can be in the way they use words, they way they construct their tale...or it can be with the dynamic force they exert, constructing something that just cannot be denied.
That's what Ron Currie, Jr. has done with 'Everything Matters!' He made me mutter 'Wow'. He scored 'A hit! A palpable hit!' many times over, he impressed the Hell out of me, he made me aware of just how strong a writer's voice can be... He took me on an adventure with this tale, and throughout so very much of it, I was nodding...and grinning. (Sometimes, smirking.)
I'm biased: I like it when a writer grabs you by the throat and says 'Listen to what I have to tell you. I've a tale you don't want to miss, give me your full attention.' I love to be engaged by a writer. Or a musical performer. Or a director, an actor, an orator...a leader. Yes, I'm an opinionated S.O.B., but I also love being led. Especially when there's a fascinating destination. And the way the novel begins, the way Currie pins you up against the wall while he does what he does, you can't help but believe that the destination is, at the very least, going to be 'fascinating'. And *then* some.
That's not to say Currie gets it all right.
The multiple-part narrative points-of-view are interesting...but in the end, more an exercise in determination than anything else. (Albeit mostly completed successfully.) I didn't entirely like what he chose to focus on in the story; I felt there were some omissions and dropped balls. And the 'coda'? Well... I can think of a couple of other 'possibilities' that deserved attention; not sure why he chose the one he did. To be honest, this aspect of the novel really irked me.
Which is testimony to how impressed 'and entertained' I was by the rest of the effort.
Even greater stuff is due from Mr. Currie; fortunate are those who will be reading him in the years to come.
(Personal rating: 9/10)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!,
This review is from: Everything Matters!: A Novel (Paperback)
Once I picked this book up, I was unable to put it down until I had finished it. I enjoyed every aspect of the book from the story line, to the underlining themes I so often think about myself. The plot of the novel is simple, but the author is able to make every detail of the book relatable to the reader. The book is written from many of the characters view points which allows the reader to bond and connect with each individual character. The story is a combination science fiction, human nature, and philosophy.
If you are often someone who wonders is there really a point to anything at all? this is the book for you or if you just want a page turner with lots of twists and turns, this is also the book for you!

(Opening statement from Ambassador Bremer's press conference in Baghdad, Iraq.)
Good afternoon. Before I take your questions, I'd like to make a few comments.
I'm delighted to be in Iraq. President Bush sent me to help the Iraqi people retake and rebuild their own country. In the short time that I have been here, I have seen many symbols and examples of the depth of depravity and evil of the former president, Saddam Hussein.
I've seen dozens and dozens of buildings, built purely for his own self-aggrandizement. And I've seen the poverty in which he forced so many of his people to live. In the last few days, I've seen the shocking and haunting pictures of mass graves which contain some of the thousands and thousands of Iraqis he murdered. I have heard from dozens of Iraqi citizens about their gratitude that the coalition has freed them from this horror.
Saddam Hussein was a truly evil man who repressed, tortured and murdered his people. He didn't go a day too soon. And now that the Iraqi people are free from his terror, they are rightly looking forward to a new beginning.
It is my responsibility as administrator of the international coalition to help the Iraqi people to turn Iraq into a stable, safe, peaceful and prosperous country. I take it seriously. And I'm going to make sure that we help them in every way possible.
Across most of Iraq, life is already better.
But there remain a number of problems, particularly law and order in Baghdad. I've travelled around Baghdad, and seen the shops open and people going about their lives. But there is a serious law and order issue, which we continue to address. Saddam released over 100,000 convicted prisoners onto the streets last October. Many of these people were political prisoners, but many of them were common, violent criminals. It's time the criminals were back in jail. And that's where we'll put them. In the past 48 hours, we have arrested about 300 criminals.
Police are coming back to work, and we're starting to train them.. In the old days, they received their orders from on high. In the new Iraq, they will be answerable to the Iraqi people. And those who were on high, the Ba'athists who used their power to repress the Iraqi people, will be removed from office. The Coalition Provisional Authority banned the Ba'ath Party on April 16th.
Shortly, I will issue a further order on measures to extirpate Ba'athists and Ba'athism from Iraq forever.
But we must do more than deal with the past. We will provide the conditions for Iraqis to govern themselves in the future. To that end, the Coalition Provisional Authority will work with responsible Iraqis to begin the process of establishing a government representative of all the Iraqi people.
Finally, I'm delighted to confirm that the United Nations mission here has agreed that the U.N. will use oil-for-food funds to purchase the Iraqi cereal crop, now being harvested. This will be a first. Saddam Hussein preferred to manipulate the cereal harvest for political ends, while he used much of the oil-for-food money to build projects like his Olympic stadium. When I met with the U.N. representative yesterday, we both agreed on the importance of securing a new United Nations resolution to allow the Iraqi people quickly to make use of their money now held by the United Nations. I hope that the Security Council will work swiftly on the draft resolution before them.
Thank you, and I am pleased to take your questions.

Youth forum discusses HIV/Aids prevention
A large number of students from universities and colleges in Hanoi discussed HIV/Aids-related matters at a forum on youth with HIV/Aids held in Hanoi on Sunday December 11.
The forum, jointly organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, the Vietnam Students Association Central Committee, the Vietnam Women's Union Central Committee and the Hanoi National University, attracted many young people.
Young participants from relevant agencies focused discussions on the situation of HIV/Aids-infected students and youth, how to assist and encourage young HIV/Aids patients to overcome difficulties, and measures to prevent HIV/Aids from spreading. They expressed young people's determination to make a greater effort in the fight against the deadly pandemic.
After the forum, participants took part in camping and other sport and cultural activities to disseminate information about the risk of HIV/Aids infection.

The song is called "Freaks." That should be a dead giveaway that the visual to French Montana's new single featuring Nicki Minaj would be a tad on the risque side.
Nicki's having a ball on the set of the "Freaks" video but we bet the men are enjoying themselves a little bit more with the exposure of Nicki's breasts with only pasties covering her nipples. Nicki's backside has always been a watercooler topic: Is it real or is it fake? Once the full video premieres her boobs will be all the rave for horny prepubescent boys and all the girls who'll think 'It's just not fair to have all that a– and tits.'

|IMG making Canadian push
|Written by HGO Staff
KELOWNA, British Columbia (13 September 2011) - Motion and home theatre producer IMG Comfort of Norway is launching a major push onto the Canadian retail scene under the leadership of industry veteran Karl Woll, an independent sales agent based here.
IMG's upholstery features steel-framed furniture, padded with cold-cure molded foam and covered in top grain Italian leather. It assortment includes swivel chairs, glider rockers, recliners, home theatre and stationary groups.
Woll notes IMG offers one of the most extensive consumer warranties in the industry: two years on the double-rubbed leather; five years on the motor for the power recline feature offered on a number of models; five years on the foam; and, ten years on the frame.
IMG's engineered high-performance recliners retail from $1,099 to $1,799 which Woll believes makes them highly desirable for the larger independent. "While this is not an entry level product, it is priced under Ekornes' Stressless line," he observed.
IMG Comfort is a division of the Norway-headquartered International Mobel Group. Company president Nils Hjellegjerde's family has been in the furniture industry 1941.
"Our chairs are very space efficient and follow the Scandinavian design direction," Hjellegjerde said, adding each chair features a patented support system that pushes the head support forward to cradle the head and neck as the user reclines.
All design, sales, marketing and administrative functions are located in Norway while their production facilities are in Thailand and Vietnam. Hjellegjerde is careful to stress his company owns and operates those factories.
Hjellegjerde said the third generation furniture maker is vertically integrated and controls all of the critical components of assembly process up to curing its own foam and cutting and sewing the leather covers.
A number of Canadian retailers throughout Western Canada are already flooring the line, as are a number in Atlantic Canada such as Gallery One in Halifax. A number of Leon's Furniture franchises have also picked it. For a number of years, DeBoer's was an IMG Comfort dealer. However, the Toronto destination furniture retailer went out of business earlier this year.
"We are targeting the better independent retailer who is willing to put some muscle behind the line," Woll told Home Goods Online. "Our goal is to find and work with the leading retailers in each city - with some exceptions; we don't want more than one key retailer per market."
Two key concerns for the majority of independent retailers are delivery and service. Woll said IMG average delivery time to a Canadian retailer's dock is eight to ten weeks from date of order. The product is also delivered suspended in its box - that is, it's totally encased meaning there is rarely any damage done during shipping.
To expedite service issues, Woll is maintaining a small parts inventory - such as replacement motors and mechanisms - at his office here for shipping as required. IMG will also ship parts directly to the retailer by UPS from either Thailand or Vietnam if need be.
Although IMG doesn't plan to show at the Canadian Home Furnishings Market in Toronto next January, it will open its first North American showroom in High Point in time for the April 2012 High Point Market.
In addition to Woll, IMG Comfort is being represented by Michele Champoux in Quebec and Shaun Pauley in Atlantic Canada.
Woll can be reached at .

Ted RussellThursday, November 19, 2009, 12:20pm - 1:20pm
In the legal field, some ethical rules are crystal clear, and others leave room for interpretation ... sometimes too much room. Nowhere do things get stickier than in the entertainment industry, where agents, managers and lawyers hash out business deals and disputes with one another every day.
What are the rules of the game? Are lawyers at a disadvantage because they are constrained by the rules of ethics? Or are lawyers the most dangerous ones in the room, given that they are legally obligated to "zealously" represent their clients' interests above all others?
Ted Russell is Senior Vice President of Litigation for Fox Entertainment Group, Inc. He has taught Ethics and Negotiation as an adjunct professor at Pepperdine and as a Lecturer in Law for the USC Gould School of Law. Russell is involved in a number of charitable organizations working to provide education and free legal services.

Quarterback Colt Brennan released by Roughriders
First Posted: Jun 11, 2012 4:48pm | Last Updated: Jun 11, 2012 5:27pm
Saskatchewan Roughrider quarterback hopeful Colt Brennan is no longer with the team.
The catch from the University of Hawaii, where he was considered a star, was released by the Roughriders Monday.
Brennan was a Heisman Trophy finalist who held a number of NCAA records, including for most touchdown passes in a single season.
He was drafted in the sixth round by the Washington Redskins in 2008, but released in 2010.
With Brennan's departure, the Roughriders still have three quarterbacks under contract -- Darian Durant and backups J.T. O'Sullivan, Levi Brown and Drew Willy.

Studies show that students engaged in regular physical activity have improved academic performance, reduced rates of obesity and fewer disciplinary problems.(2) They also show better retention of new concepts when materials are presented through direct, multi-sensory instruction. (3) We also found that most recommendations for introducing healthy habits focus on young children and addressing their interest. (1)
Reading is the foundation for all learning and the main focus of early elementary curriculums. Studies show that students in Grades K-2 and older remedial readers all benefit from being taught how to use letter sounds and spelling patterns to decode words. It is recommended that Explicit, Systematic phonetic instruction be included in all basic reading programs. (4)
Sound Off! was designed with the aforementioned facts in mind. Skill specific cross-lateral and whole body movements are combined with phonetic instruction. We took 63 phonetic skills and assigned each its own movement. Each skill/movement is then introduced using traditional phonetic reinforcement activities which are already being utilized in classrooms across the country (see examples). We topped it off by integrating the learning activities into a kid friendly theme which keeps students focused and motivated to learning. Sound Off! gets children excited about physically activity and learning at a very early age.

|Left ventricular dynamics during exercise in elite marathon runners.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2738255 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|To assess left ventricular structure and function at rest and during exercise in endurance athletes, 10 elite marathon runners, aged 28 to 37 years, and 10 matched nonathletes were studied by echocardiography and supine bicycle ergometry. Each athlete's best marathon time was less than 2 h 16 min. Echocardiography was performed at rest, at a 60 W work load and at an individually adjusted work load, at which heart rate was 110 beats/min (physical working capacity 110 [PWC110]). Oxygen uptake at PWC110 averaged (+/- SD) 1.14 +/- 0.2 liters/min in the nonathletes and 2.0 +/- 0.2 liters/min in the runners (p less than 0.001). The left ventricular internal diameter at end-diastole was similar at the three activity levels in the control subjects but increased significantly from rest to exercise in the runners (p less than 0.001). Left ventricular systolic meridional wall stress remained unchanged during exercise in the nonathletes but was significantly higher at PWC110 in the athletes (p less than 0.05). Both the systolic peak velocity of posterior wall endocardial displacement and fractional shortening of the left ventricular internal diameter increased with exercise; at PWC110 the endocardial peak velocity was higher in the runners than in the control subjects (p less than 0.01). The endocardial peak velocity during relaxation was comparable in athletes and control subjects at rest, increased similarly at a 60 W work load, but was higher in the runners at PWC110 (p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 2002 Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday dating back to our colonial times. Each November, Americans gather together family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy as citizens of this great land.
This past year has been exceptionally poignant in realizing all that America is and will remain. We are blessed to live in a nation that values freedom and the sanctity of life. And as we rally friends and allies from around the world to eliminate terrorism, we must carry those values with us.
We should also give thanks for the brave American men and women -- soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coastguardsmen and DOD civilians -- active duty and reservist alike -- deployed around the world. Many are spending yet another holiday away from their homes and families. They are protecting the freedoms that every American treasures so dearly. Their dedication to duty and selfless service are truly a blessing to us all.
On this special American holiday, the Joint Chiefs of Staff join me in sending you and your families best wishes. You are in our thoughts and prayers and in those of each citizen of our Nation as well.
May God bless you and may God bless America.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Religious right pastor Rick Scarborough had a discussion with deranged bigot Peter LaBarbera and his Tea Party Unity group and came up with what might be the single dumbest idea in history. He wants to file a class action lawsuit against The Gay. Seriously.
LaBarbera: We need to work on our conservative, alternate media and say, 'look, don't do the pro-gay thing, why don't you rather step out and support these ex-gays?' We should encourage Fox News to tell their stories. Fox is now telling the stories of black conservatives because the other media is not doing that, we should all get on Fox and say, 'come on, tell these stories, these wonderful stories of happy men and women who have left the homosexual lifestyle.'
Scarborough: Peter, the whole issue of a class action lawsuit, you and I have talked about this a little bit. I just wonder if you've explored that, talked to anyone about it. Obviously, statistically now even the Centers for Disease Control verifies that homosexuality much more likely leads to AIDS than smoking leads to cancer. And yet the entire nation has rejected smoking, billions of dollars are put into a trust fund to help cancer victims and the tobacco industry was held accountable for that. Any thoughts on that kind of an approach?
LaBarbera: Yeah I think that's great. I would love to see it.
Yeah, that would last about a millisecond in court. But by all means, waste your time on it.
