Jewellery made of halwa for Sankrant goes global

An intricately designed mangalsutra, a pair of bangles and a delicate nose-ring crafted out of halwa will be displayed at Halvyache Dagine Sankrant Kautuk Spardha 2010, contest started by city-based firm Patankar Khauwale.
For the contest, each participant who buys halwachaya dagine (jewellery of halwa) from the stalls has to send a photograph of him/her wearing the jewellery. The selected entries receive prize from the organisation. The contest is now going global with entries coming form Australia, Canada and the US as well.
The winning entries of last year's entries will be given prizes on November 29 at Balgandharva Rang Mandir.
In its 10th year, the competition was started by the Patankars to keep the traditional values alive. It is considered auspicious for the new bride and groom to wear this jewellery during Sankrant, which is gifted to them by their mothers-in-law. For making heavy jewellery, kaju and badam halwa along with pumpkin seeds and peanuts are used, whereas for lighter ones, sesame halwa is used.
"The contest is an effort to revive the tradition of wearing jewellery during Sankrant," said Ramesh Patankar, director, Patankar Khauwale, who are into making such jewellery since the last 50 years.
Though it took some time for the contest to gain popularity, last year there were over 400 entries from across the world and this year the number is higher than that.
"Many people buy these dagines for their relatives abroad," said Patankar. City-based Anuradha Pethe, who sent a pair of bangles, mangalsutra and earrings for her Boston-based daughter Anagha and a garland for her son-in-law, said the concept of celebrating Sankranti with halwa jewellery was appreciated a lot by Anagha's neighbours in Boston. "Some of them requested to send the jewellery next year," said Pethe.
Priced between Rs 30 and Rs 2,400, apart from jewellery, there are items for men too. For instance, when Shalini Mohite picked up few ornaments for her Kolhapur-based granddaughter Niharika Mane, she also bought a pagdi and a cellphone made of halwa for Niharika's husband.

Bad math smugly explained,
This review is from: The Wages of Wins: Taking Measure of the Many Myths in Modern Sport (Hardcover)
I really looked forward to this book after reading the review in The New Yorker. The reviewer's critical skills, evidently, do not extend to evaluating the merits of a logical argument.
There are so many logical problems with the analysis in this book, it is difficult to know where to begin.
I will limit myself to just a handful, among countless possibilities.
1) The authors find a correlation between the stability of a basketball team's roster and its winning percentage, and conclude that roster stability is a factor in producing wins! Classic problem of mistaking effect for cause. Clearly, winning teams are disinclined to make major roster changes, and losing teams are eager to. I was so amazed at this I reread it to see if I missed where they pointed this out. They didn't.
2) The authors show a correlation between more assists and winning percentage and conclude that assists help produce wins. Again, very silly. A team with a higher shooting percentage and fewer turnovers will of course get more wins and produce more assists. But the assists are not producing the wins - the shooting percentage is. Were these factors discounted? Not according to the text.
3) Most problematic, the authors define a way of measuring the value of players to a team, and then "prove" their method by summing these values, per player, across each team, and show that they do indeed predict the number of wins each team will get. What they fail to realize is that their method of apportioning value to a player necessarily sums back to team totals such as points per possession that we know correlate to wins per team. But this in no way proves that the apportioning is wrong. We could just as easily base each player's value "team's points while players is on the floor - opposing team's points while player is in the floor". Sum for all players on team, and you will find the team's points-per-game and the opposition's points per game, and you have just "proven" that your method of measuring a player's value is accurate.
4. In looking at rebounds, there is not even the slightest caveat that a player's rebounds per game are affected by who he shares rebounding responsibilities with. If you are in the front court with Shaq, you will get fewer rebounds, not because the other team gets them, but because your teammate does, so comparing rebounding stats between players across teams is highly questionable.
5. Ridiculously, they conclude that adding great players to your roster makes the other players worse not better (this is written as a great revelation, demythifying the common presumption that great players make teammates better). Adding great players indeed will make other players statistically less productive. They will take fewer shots, get fewer rebounds, fewer assists if a new ball-handler is added, etc. And so, according their evaluation method, the other players become worse. This should clearly tell them there is something wrong with their system, based so heavily on specific metrics of productivity. Instead, they simply accept the merit of their method as fact, and conclude that adding great players really makes other players worse!!!
The most frustrating thing about this book, however, for an analytically minded reader, is its smugness. They understand statistics. They have the answers. They are bringing them down from the mountains and explaining them to us idiot peons. All while their reasoning is so problematic.
I in no way am a supporter of the intuitive and nonsensical drivel one hears from so many sports coaches, players and commentators. I would have enjoyed a good, statistical, analytical study of the game of basketball. Unfortunately, this is not it.

Malcolm says:
I agree whole-heartedly with almost everything this reviewer says, but on his point about assists, I'd like to point out that maybe the causality works in reverse, too: Assists may lead to easier baskets and thus higher shooting percentages.

T.G. Randini says this: D. Blum GETS IT. A sublime analysis of major errors in Berri's work. Wish D-BLUM were writing about B-Ball and not that Berri guy. How did Berri ever get an economics degree? It just shows the standards of our higher education system have gone rapidly downhill.
Every point (nearly) in this D-BLUM's review of Berri's book makes perfect sense. IN ADDITION, Berri overvalues the ball-fetchers (rebounders) and undervalues the defense... that causes the missed shots... that permit the ball-fetching to take place.

Twark Main says:
Good point, that's kind of common knowledge, a player that can get you easy shots with great passing skills, Magic, Bird, Kidd, Chris Paul increases your teams shooting %. I know for a fact that when Bird and Magic left their teams, their teams shooting % went down.

Eisenhower says:
I haven't read this book, but wouldn't distinguishing cause from effect when looking at roster stability v.s. win percentage be a simple matter of seeing which one happens first? Major roster changes happen during the off season, so you could just see if teams start winning after they remain stable or before...

Thibodaux Firemen's Fair breaks records again
Published: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 10:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 10:45 a.m.
The Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department raised more money than ever at its annual Firemen's Fair — again.
And that means a portion of several years' worth of profit will pay for a new fire station in Acadia Plantation subdivision, plans for which will soon move forward, Fire Chief Randy Pate said.
The May event brought in about $633,160, which is more than $30,000 over last year's record-breaking amount.
Last year's fair shattered the original record of $440,00, set in 2009, but officials said it's thanks to loyal fairgoers that May's event maintained the trend of raising more than half a million dollars.
"It's a tribute to Thibodaux and the community," said Richard Alan Savoie, grand marshal of last month's fair.
"It's the community's support of the firemen," Pate said.
The fundraising can be attributed to Savoie as well, who has "been working 110 percent" to raise support for the fair and the department since he was appointed grand marshal, Pate said.
Like last year, the fair's total revenue before expenses on the event topped $1 million, he said.
The profits from the fair, which has been held for more than a century, fund about half of the volunteer department's budget; the city's fire property tax, or millage, makes up most of the rest, Pate said.
The new station, which will be the department's 10th in the city, must be built to stay in compliance with insurance regulations, Pate said.
An area is only considered protected by a fire department if it is within 7 miles of a fire station, according to the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana.
The fire department must expand as the Acadia Plantation subdivision expands as well, department President Joe Ayo said in the past.
The Thibodaux City Council unanimously approved the zoning change for the area, at South Acadia and Percy Brown roads, at a meeting last month.
The building itself is estimated to cost about $1.5 million, Ayo said.
Fire officials plan to pay for it with tax dollars as well, Pate said.
"We've been saving for this over the last few years," Pate said.
The fire department will hire an architect and contractor in the near future, Pate said.
"We're ready to start the building process," he said.

Created Equal: Films, lesson plans, powerful conversations
Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle brings four outstanding films on the long civil rights movement to communities across the United States. As part of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)'s Bridging Cultures initiative, Created Equal will encourage communities across the country to revisit the history of civil rights in America and to reflect on the ideals of freedom and equality that have helped bridge deep racial and cultural divides in our civic life. Four outstanding documentary films, spanning the period from the 1830s to the 1960s, are the centerpiece for this project. Each of these films was supported by NEH, and each tells remarkable stories of individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions, from slavery to segregation.
These four films illustrate the majesty of the civil rights movement: Millions of ordinary brave Americans rose up, said 'no more,' and changed the nation forever.

This is perhaps the greatest deal I've seen since I took over as spirits buyer ! If you've ever been curious about high quality mezcal (not the guaranteed hangover with the worm in the bottle) but never wanted to pay $60+ just to experiment, we've just found an amazing, one time only deal. For the past few years, Efrain Nolasco, born and raised in Oaxaca where mezcal is king, has been making organically-certified mezcal. He works with a co-op for local farmers in the small town of San Juan del Rio where the best agave is harvested. We carry two mezcals from him that are 100% organic and the cleanest, most pure mezcals I've yet tasted. Because of our success with these two bottles, he recently reached out to us and told us he's been sitting on two other mezcals that he made before he was certified and that, since he wants to focus on being an organic producer, he's willing to cut us a deal. The Embajador Blanco is made from organic agave but cannot label itself as such - hence the low price! This is smoky, vibrant, tangy, spicy and clean mezcal that can hold its own any day of the week with the pricier Del Maguey bottlings. For $19.99 it is the best price we have ever offered for a spirit of this quality. Mezcal is an underappreciated and overlooked product, but if we continue to get deals like this, it won't be long until the rest of the world starts paying more attention. Now is the time to indulge your curiousity - these won't last long. (David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer)

1962 And The Seattle World's Fair
My first recollection of hearing about a world's fair was Montreal in 1967, but that was mostly because I'm a baseball fan and I remember the new team from Montreal, the Expos, playing the Reds.  I had asked my Dad about their name, Expos, and he told me about the world's fair (Exposition) that had taken place two years earlier. As I got older and visited family in St. Louis, they often talked about the 1904 World's Fair and all the great inventions of the time.  The world's fair used to be a really big deal. They were the place to showcase the latest and greatest technological advances and inventions that would change the world. We don't hear much about them anymore but they're still around. The 2012 World's Fair was held in South Korea and mark your 2015 calendars when the world gathers in Milan, Italy for the next world's fair.
America no longer belongs to the organization of nations eligible to host a world's fair. There's just not enough interest here to make it financially viable. That wasn't the case in 1962 when the world's fair was held, for the second time, in Seattle. The 1962 World's Fair was a six-month celebration of science and technology, and featured an exciting mix of culture, cuisine and celebrity. At the time, the relatively unknown town of Seattle, hosted more than 10 million visitors from around the world.
On Monday night WOSU TV will present a new program that brings to life the sights and sounds of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. In 1962 WORLD'S FAIR: WHEN SEATTLE INVENTED THE FUTURE we'll hear from historians, community leaders and longtime residents about the excitement and ambition the Fair ignited.  Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen credits seeing the 605-foot Space Needle, Monorail, "Bubbleator" and other exhibits for inspiring his love of technology and science. Our own travel expert Rick Steves shares his thoughts on seeing "exotic" Belgian Waffles for the first time at The Food Circus.
It's also interesting to see just how important the world's fair was in 1962 when you get a glimpse of all the celebrities and politicians who visited the fair. Footage of people appearing at the fair include John Glenn, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow, Prince Philip, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Lawrence Welk, and, one of my personal favorites Elvis. I hope you'll tune in, or set your DVR, to experience the fun of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair.
1962 WORLD'S FAIR: WHEN SEATTLE INVENTED THE FUTURE airs Monday, August 26 at 10pm on WOSU TV with an encore presentation Tuesday, August 27 at 10pm on WOSU PLUS.

I was laying in an incline and thought I felt some PVCs the other night, but no dizziness or tachycardia. It was at night, so caffeine I don't think was an issue. Hasn't happened since, but it was kinda weird.

I have an aortic valve prolapse. It could be mitral valve prolapse. Most of the time it's not a big deal, it usually is more pronounced when your body is under stress. Mine acts up when I'm too tired, had too much caffeine, or pregnant. I have to take antibiotics when I have dental work or surgery and the Dr. said that when I get older, I'll probably need surgery. A lot of cases are really mild though and don't require any treatment. I would mention it to your doctor.

Heart palpitations are totally normal during pregnancy. I got them before I was pregnant and saw a cardiologist. He said it may get worse during pregnancy but luckily it hasnt for me. Not saying that's what it is for sure, but when it first started happening for me it was definitely scary. Even made me go to the ER once I was so freaked out. Just call or mention it to your doc next time to be sure.

Could be an electrolyte imbalance. Trying drinking some Gatorade and eating a banana the next time it happens.

THANK you. My midwife wanted me to wear a heart monitor for 24 hoursbut im trying to get insurance stuff figured out first.
Posted 02/20/2013
I also have PVC's. they are totally harmless and they say somewhere like 80% of all people have it happen at some point, some of us just more than others (me). Mine are deinitely more frequent when pregnant. It's like a skipped half beat an then a strong beat. I had a cardiologist check me too - 24 hour monitor, stress ECHO, all that jazz. He said I was fine. :-) Hope that puts your mind at ease!
Posted 02/20/2013
I was just in the hospital for heart palpitations. I felt my heart beating irregular and I would get dizzy light headed and blurred vision. Now I am on medication and have to see a high risk pregnancy dr. I'm only 21 the cardiologist said I'm too young for it and it could possibly be from the pregnancy or something I have always had and it's just starting to act up. It is scarey I would def call your dr about it !
Posted 02/20/2013
I have mitral valve prolapse. It's absolutely worse with pregnancy. I get pounding and fluttering for half a minute at a time, usually laying on my left side. I know it's normal because the blood supply is increasing and making the heart work harder.

Onata Aprile is at the center of the film as Maisie, in an almost eerily natural, watchful performance. She always seems to be in the camera's focus, while the marital squabbles and romantic entanglements explode in the background.
Adapted and extrapolated from Henry James' novel of the same name, What Maisie Knew is a film that puts the audience right in the title character's world -- and forces it to experience it the way she does.
Disconnect is upsetting, exhilarating and frightening in equal measures. It's got the ability to pierce your complacency with its cautionary tale.
Written by and starring the dreaded team of Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael, it's about -- well, really, who cares? Keep in mind that this is the same pair responsible for the awful Bride Wars and you get the picture.
It's easy to mock the feelings it evokes, but that's a shallow reading of a much deeper film. Cloud Atlas is one of the best films I've seen this year and one of the most satisfying.
Battleship succeeds in being big, dumb, and extremely loud, and after The Avengers, we should all be expecting a lot more.
In anticipation of 12/21/12, this past year saw a return of the doomsday film. Melancholia was an okay end-of-the-world movie, but for this fan, it was not a very good Lars Von Trier film. Perhaps a third viewing is in order.
Melancholia consists of a few moments of startling imagination, between which are sandwiched almost two hours of dreary, opaque storytelling.
If the world ends any time soon, as threatened for 2012, what will the last day on earth look like? That is the dominant conceit for two films in this year's New York Film Festival.

Millions of people worldwide wear medical-alert jewelry-bracelets, pendants, dog tags-to notify emergency personnel about conditions ranging from diabetes to epilepsy. Now several companies have taken the idea a step further with introduction of the medical-alert computer flash drive. With this device, the alert message is no longer limited to a half dozen or so engraved words on a piece of jewelry; the drive stores an extensive medical background that can be accessed by simply plugging it into a computer's USB port.
MedicTag of Cape Coral, Fla., is among the companies offering these user-friendly devices. Just connect the drive to your PC and a software program will open automatically, prompting you to enter emergency contact data; lists of physicians, medications, allergies, existing conditions and previous surgeries; and more.
The MedicTag flash drive, which costs about $40, is available through a variety of sources, including Amazon.com. An online search will reveal manufacturers of similar products.

Experienced Yoga Teachers – What You Don't Know Counts
Why Beginning Teachers are More Confident than Experienced Yoga Teachers
Yesterday morning one of my students asked me how my teaching has changed over the last 29 years. A few things came to mind: I no longer feel an ego need to demonstrate show-off poses. I no longer interpret "beginning," "intermediate," or "advanced" through the lens of what a person's body can or can't do. But most important, I'm a whole lot less confident that I know the answers than I was when I started.
I was not born with a lot of hubris. I've always erred on the side of humility. But when I started teaching yoga, while I knew there was lots more to learn, I felt that the alignment instructions I'd learned from some very competent and knowledgeable Iyengar-based teachers were gospel. Armed with instructions such as "lift your kneecap," "align your pelvis between two plates of glass," and "ground the four corners [inner and outer balls of the feet and inner and outer heels] of the feet" I felt as if I had a strong foundation.
And actually, I kind of did. I have tremendous gratitude and respect for B.K.S. Iyengar and what he has brought to the interpretation of Yoga. As Donna Farhi once said to me, he "cleaned up" the practice of asana. He was the first to emphasize the importance of alignment in facilitating the flow of prana, and the first to devise strategies that allow anyone, regardless of their flexibility, to be able to practice asana with structural integrity.
But years of practice—especially years of Insight Meditation—have taught me that there are no black-and-white answers to anything. "Lift your kneecap" has given way to a more integrated way to address lazy knees: adjusting the tilt of the pelvis to neutral so that the quads naturally engage and the knees can't hyperextend. "Align your pelvis between two plates of glass" was an instruction I dropped long ago, much to the relief of my hypermobile sacroiliac (SI) joint. Letting your back hip rotate inward in standing poses not only keeps your SI joint safe, but it also balances the work between your front and back legs because it is a more efficient use of your skeletal structure. I still like being aware of how the corners my feet are aligned.
There are countless instructions and countless poses I've stopped offering. Some of these are poses I once thought were important—Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, Purvottanasana and Matsyasana, to name a few. I've found these to be difficult for the vast majority to practice safely. The potential for injury outweighs the potential benefits even in—or maybe especially in—flexible people, but that's another blog post.
If Only You'd Try a Little Harder …
In my early years of teaching, I thought that if people just practiced enough, eventually they would be able to do the above poses, along with Urdva Dhanurasana with straight arms—often the benchmark for being able to join an "advanced" class. One longtime colleague studied with teachers all over the world in the hope of loosening her shoulders enough to do a Yoga Journal cover-ready Urdva Dhanurasana. I admired her perseverance and felt confident that someday she'd get her wish. That was before I understood that no amount of flexibility was going to allow her to do it, because the limitation was not in her soft tissue; it was in her joints. Now I understand that everyone's bony structure is different. The configuration of some shoulder joints will allow straight arms; others will not.
The more I've learned over the years, the more I respond to my students as an open question rather than with a pat answer. Decades of observing the countless differences in people's structures, genetics, lifestyles, temperaments and intentions has taught me that there's no single instruction or set of instructions that applies to everyone. The more I observe, the less I trust proclamations that any "master" teacher's way is the only way. That goes for what I believe to be true in this moment. It could change on a dime. I know that absolute truth is actually quite slippery if you're paying attention.
Knowing What You Don't Know
Chris Kourtinatos, a yoga teacher living in Stuttgart, Germany, posted his concerns about relatively inexperienced yoga teachers offering "master classes" on Facebook a while back. I share his concern. But I wonder if this phenomenon is simply a stage we all traverse as teachers—that of not knowing enough to realize that we really don't know that much. (Yes, I meant to say that.) Until you've taught for a while, it's hard to see that the instructions you repeat, that work for you in this moment, may or may not be appropriate for everyone. They may not even be appropriate for you in a year or 10.
When we're starting out, the best information we have is what we've learned from teachers who are more experienced than we are. That information is important. But questioning it, testing it, and watching and listening to our students when they tell us our instructions are not working for them is just as important. This inquiry takes time—years, if not decades—and it never ends. Consider that even in his 90s, Mr. Iyengar was still constantly exploring, and quite willing to change longstanding instructions when he made new discoveries. Being comfortable with not knowing inspires deeper inquiry, which is sort of the point of this difficult practice we love.
So if you come to a point in your teaching practice when you feel overwhelmed by what you don't know, consider that you just might be on a track that leads to greater wisdom.

Charlotte: I am once again so pleased that you wrote this important post. I feel lucky that one of my favorite teachers is and has been for almost 40 years, Ganga White. He always says to "stand on the shoulders of your teachers" and create your own yoga. From the start, he gave me the freedom to explore without the boundaries of absolutes. And, as you so beautifully stated, as we age, we do recognize how little we can be absolute about! I also am indebted to Mr. Iyengar, of course, as most of us probably are, but being able to discover your own yoga, just as he did and continues to do, is sometimes missing in many classes these days. SO, thanks again for your inspiring words.

Thanks, Shoosh! I love the image of standing on the shoulders of your teachers. It's really true. My teacher, Pujari, also never gave me answers, but he always pointed me to new ways of looking at things so that I could discover what I needed on my own. I also so admire Mr. Iyengar for his endless curiosity and willingness to continue to learn. That, I think, is the mark of aging with grace.

Thanks for your sharing. I appreciate your years of practice and observations.I find that the hardest individuals to re-examine their practice are those who have been doing for a time and are unable to change what they are comfortable with.Comfortable may not be appropriate for their own well being.
Charlotte Bell Says:
May 21st, 2014 at 5:22 pm
Thanks for your observation. I think it's really easy to get stuck in what we are comfortable with and to not look any further. It has really helped me to have a teacher who wouldn't let me get away with looking at things through my preferred lens. His commitment is always to the truth, and that has been his gift to all his students.

Hi Charlotte, me again, i agree with your views, once we learn the basics of teaching, we need to mature from our practice and learn from our students….One of the best pieces of advice i got from a adv. senior IY teacher before my asssesment was, teach to the students in front of you…yes i had my list of things to say and do but the students will guide me to what to teach how to teach when….As far as the iyengars i find they are the first to be flexible enough to change things around as there practice and explorations reveal new findings…at 96 BKS is still doing that…in closing Prashant Iyengar, i call him the rebel in the family because he will take all those rules and break them, he doesn't teach much actions, he is more of a philosopher when teaching…he goes beyond the mechanics of asana/ pranayama…be well
Charlotte Bell Says:
May 21st, 2014 at 10:22 pm
Hi Rogelio, Thanks, as always, for your insightful comments. I so appreciate Mr. Iyengar's willingness to explore and evolve. Gandhi said, "My commitment is to truth, not to consistency." For me, this sums up much of the discussion. Consistency requires us to be loyal to an idea. Truth requires us to look into each moment and respond accordingly to what's in front of us. I'd love to study with Prashant someday!

Thanks for the post, it sort of confirms that as I continue my own practice, I find that there are things I can and can't do. It's usually very different than some others in the class.
In the end, it seems we all have our own 'to-do list'. Because we all have different body shapes and capabilities, it seems natural that there are not any 'master commands' that apply equally to everyone.

• A fatal hepatic rupture developed, in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, as a result of hepatic arteritis. The patient had hypotension, falling hematocrit level, hepatomegaly, and evidence of progressive hepatocellular dysfunction. Hepatic dysfunction is not uncommon in rheumatoid arthritis, but is usually asymptomatic. Hepatic arteritis is a rare manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis; however, recognition of this complication is important, since early intervention may be important in successful management.

If you're like me, you can't stand being cooped up inside for a workout. When I go home for winter break, I do not have a gym membership and all I have available to me is a treadmill and bike in my dark basement.

text: Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors might be a fantastic source of energy for the future. It looks like the world is divided into two clans and the moment: those who have heard of LFTR and are enthusiastic, and those who have hardly ever heard of it because it is hardly mentioned even in the most recent textbooks. At some moments I even wonder if LFTR is not a hoax along with perpetual motions or Martian technology. But the more I read, the more I am convinced about it. Everyone who does not know about LFTR should google it immediately or look for information on this very forum. LFTR would produce only fission products radioactive a few centuries and no transuranians radioactive for thousands of years. Among the often quoted advantages of LFTR is the possibility of eliminating transuranian waste from "archaic" (I mean "present") nuclear technology by feeding some of it into the LFTR. I have no reason to doubt that but I wonder how long it might take. It is claimed that about two kilograms of Thorium a day would be enough to make an average LFTR (1 GW) work. It is absolutely awesome. But if we imagine that the quantity of transuranians fed into the reactors represents a 10% fraction of the Thorium, it would be 200g a day. I read there are about 20000 tons of Plutonium on earth at the moment. It means 100 LFTRs would need about 250 years to "burn" all this plutonium. Am I in the right time scale or not at all?

The taste is pretty bitter, but I need to figure out how to incorporate it into my meals more. I put 1/2 a scoop in my oats one morning to make chocolate oatmeal, but it needed a ton of sweetener.
Not my "cup of tea"

I wanted some dark chocolate drink and I got it, but I don't really like the taste. Added some erythritol and milk and it got little better, but I don't think I'll be buying this again.

Hotel Transylvania Rated PG, 91 minutes (Sony) 7/10
Despite the deluge of Adam Sandler films for which the adjectives ''adult'' and ''comedy'' vie to be the least-accurate descriptor, remember that Sandler can also turn his hand to children's movies.
Shunning the Pixar trend of animated movies for all, this Sony Pictures production is a crazy monster romp aimed at children, but it can also be amusing for adults. Sandler voices Dracula, who in this incarnation has turned his castle into a sanctuary for monsters and the undead, who live in fear of the modern world. When his grown-up daughter encounters a rogue backpacker and falls in love, chaos begins.
Hotel Transylvania will be a twofold surprise for parents: the monsters are kept friendly for all ages and Sandler and a star-studded cast are significantly funnier for adults when they try to entertain only children.

Meyers creates three distinct voices, with each woman speaking from a place of pain and strength while navigating complicated emotions in the aftermath of a life-changing event. The alternating perspectives maintain the intensity of the emotions and relationships, leading to the inevitable decision of which is more powerful: the harm caused by dishonesty, or the strength of forgiveness and love.
Five years ago, the lives of three women became inextricably intertwined. Tia was consumed by love for a married man, so she was devastated when he abandoned her after learning she was pregnant. Caroline adopted a baby she did not want, to give her husband the family he desired. Juliette fought to save her family, while dealing with the betrayal of her husband's affair. When Juliette opens a letter meant for her husband, filled with photos of a little girl that Juliette never knew about, she sets off on a journey to uncover the truth and inadvertently changes all of their lives forever. (ATRIA, Feb., 323 pp., $25.00)

Ted Simons: A new report by the New York and Washington-based Women's Media Center shows that disparities exist when it comes to women in the media, and that because of this disparity, journalism is missing voices and missing stories. ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication will hold an event focused on the report this Wednesday at Gammage Auditorium. Joining us now to talk about women in media is Gloria Feldt, cofounder and president of Take the Lead, an organization that prepares women for leadership roles, and Kristin Gilger, associate dean of the Cronkite school. Good to see you both here. Good to see you both again as well. Women's Media Center, what is that?
Gloria Feldt: The Women's Media Center is an organization, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make women's voices heard. To make women powerful and visible in the media. It's an organization that I've served on the board for some years, though I have term limited out, so I'm no longer on the board, but because I started Take the Lead, which is also a nonprofit organization to private sector pair and propel women to take their equal share of leadership positions across all sectors, and actually Take the Lead is hosting this event at Gammage, I wanted to make sure that this whole issue of women in the media and the impact of media on women's leadership would be an important part of that conversation.
Ted Simons: So what is the status of women in the media?
Kristin Gilger: Oh, wow. I'm glad you asked that question. Actually, they've been tracking this for some time, jump in here. It hasn't changed very much. Women represent, if you look at employment in the media, for example, women are about a third of the staff of newspapers, about a third of the management of newspapers, they represent about 40% of those in broadcast, but much smaller when you get higher up in the field. About 20% in radio. And when you look at the higher level positions, then of course there's still far fewer women than men in leadership positions.
Ted Simons: You mentioned a few categories here, define media. What are we talking about?
Kristin Gilger: Oh, geez. OK. Well, talk about who is surveyed in this.
Gloria Feldt: Well, the report itself looks at radio, television, print, online, and sports media for the first time, I think, and also looks at a breakdown not only by gender, but also minorities as well. So it's very comprehensive in its scope.
Ted Simons: I seem to remember, though, not so long ago, that some thought journalism was become a pink collar industry for lack after better phrase. That was the phrase being used. What happened there?
Gloria Feldt: It's what's happened in just about every profession. What's happened is, women have opened doors, women are earning 57% of the college degrees now and have been for almost two decades. So in the professions, women get the degrees, they start into their field, and then when they start, they're about 50/50, and as the years go on, there are fewer and fewer women closer and closer to the top. So that across all sectors of professions, women are about 18% and have been stalled at that place for almost 20 years. That's why we're taking the lead and saying, we gotta change that.
Kristin Gilger: If you look at journalism school, the Cronkite school, for example, is almost 70% women enrollment. And those -- Those numbers are not unusual for the Cronkite school. That's true for journalism schools across the country. Colleges, universities are primarily female enrollment now, I think it's around 60% or more. So there's a great interest with women going into the field, and some people say that is because as the field has had some stresses and maybe employment is a little bit more difficult or the pay is not as much as it might have been, then that men flee to other fields and there's more openings for women. That can be a good thing and that can be a bad thing.
Ted Simons: Interesting, I hadn't heard that. What -- Obviously as a dean you look at this, you're in the position of authority, you're seeing kids come in, you know what they want, you know where they want to go. How do you get them to where they want to go and also be cognizant of these numbers?
Kristin Gilger: Some of it is giving students opportunities here while they're here to be in leadership positions, and to try things that maybe they would have a harder time getting into into the profession. A good example is women in sports, for example. We have -- We're really ramping up our sports offerings and doing a sports journalism degree at the Cronkite school because there's so much interest in sports journalism. But that's driven a lot by female students. We have so many female students now who are very interested in sports journalism, and we were talking about this earlier as to why that is. And I think it's has to do with other cultural changes. They're coming to us and they play sports all their lives, or they're in families where sports has been a big deal. And it's not an unusual thing for them to think, why not? Sports journalism. I can do this. And so if they get the opportunities here to run organizations, to do internships, to run stats, or whatever it is, or cameras, or do the reporting, or work for MLB.com, or do our spring training program where they're going out and covering the spring training teams here, they come out with this level of confidence that they can do this.
Ted Simons: I want to ask you about that. In taking the lead, you have to be a bit of a leader. Do you -- Can you learn that at the university level with what we just heard, or is that kind of an innate sort of thing that you either got it or you don't?
Gloria Feldt: I think there are perhaps some innate characteristics some people may have more than others, but definitely these are learnable and teachable skills. And in fact I've been teaching a course at ASU for the last five years called women, power and leadership. I have a fairly low tech definition of leadership. I believe a leader who someone who gets something done. It begins to be less frightening when I deconstruct it like that, it begins to be less of something they would say I don't want to do that. But what I'd like to say is that what I have found in the research that I've done the last book I wrote, really delved into it, I interviewed women all over the country, I looked at the research, I looked into my own learned -- My own actual lived experience as a leader, and what I found is that women have an ambivalent relationship with power. And that until we grapple with that and deal with that head on, that we're not going to see women actually breaking through that to 18-20% barrier. So that's what I hope to infuse into this whole discussion of women in leadership.
Ted Simons: That's a great point. When you're dealing with students and you're looking at their future, 70%, that's a considerable amount there in this particular capacity. And yet we see so few in the professional world. How do you get a little bit more of that, I don't know, gumption or whatever you need, to make that --
Kristin Gilger: I don't know, the students I work with they've already got it. We just have to give them the opportunities. And I think that as this generation of women moves into the media, they're going to take those leadership roles. And there are -- And sports is another good example where if you look at the numbers of women in sports, if they're not sports editors, 10% of the women in newspapers, 10% of sports editors at newspapers around country are women, but there are slight increases, there are increases at the bottom level. So you see women going in as sports reporters, as producers, as web producers, as video producers, television, and so I still think that if they're equipped with what we can give them, if we encourage them in their practices and their leadership skills, they're going into those jobs and I think they'll move up.
Ted Simons: And I mentioned gumption on the part of the women. I'm sure there are quite a few with quite a lot of gumption who wind up just absolutely unable to move ahead for a variety of reasons. Are those reasons changing at all?
Gloria Feldt: There are still plenty of implicit biases. We all live in the same cultural soup as it were. And so both men and women ingest some of the same stereotypes about gender. Even though this is 2014, there are still some of those there. We still know that if you send two resume and one is Harry and one is Harriet, Harry is always viewed as being more qualified for the position. And so women have to be prepared for that kind of thing, and I believe one of the problems we face is actually a problem of success. Because we have seen a woman first almost everything. And so it's easy to think there are no more problems. But then what happens is that young women enter a profession and about 10 years later they get smacked with all kinds of consequences of these implicit biases they were not prepared for. We have to prepare them for that.
Kristin Gilger: There's no female bob Costas yet.
Ted Simons: No, I guess there's not. I assume they can all see right now with two eyes wide open. You know, you mentioned 10 years from now, in so many ways you can see this 18 to 25-year-old group, whether it's medical marijuana, whether it's gay marriage, a whole variety of issues, they see things differently than their elders, than the boomers and such. Is this a situation where we won't even be talking about this in 20 years, because this generation will have moved into higher levels of power and this won't be such a problem?
Gloria Feldt: We may have some differences of opinion about this. I tend to think that knock ever just happens. -- Nothing ever just happens. Though there are cultural trends, ultimately people have to consciously decide, we're going to take those steps forward.

Ted Simons: All right. Wednesday at Gammage. Correct?
Gloria Feldt: Yes.
Ted Simons: Good to have you both here.
Gloria Feldt: Thank you.
Kristin Gilger: Thank you, Ted.
