Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Serena Williams and Drake made out at Sotto. What did you do this weekend? Serena was in town competing in the Western & Southern Open; Drake came to watch. The two celebrated Serena's finals win with dinner at Sotto downtown and, apparently, a little mouth-on-mouth action. Drake also supported Serena at Wimbledon earlier this summer. NORMAL. The brothers Hanson, the objects of my adolescent affection after my JTT phase ended, are now in the beer business. The still-dreamy-to-me trio of Zac, Isaac and Taylor have produced a pale ale appropriately called Mmmhops. It's not available in Ohio, but you should be able to buy some online next month. If you're still following the Fat Jew on Instagram or Twitter, here are some reasons why you should consider cutting that shit off. Play Cincinnati I-Spy as you watch the trailer for Carol: I spotted Maury's Tiny Cove (the restaurant in the very first scene) and various Downtown streets, and those Christmas shop scenes were filmed in Eden Park. The movie is expected to be released Nov. 20. Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night with pressing questions, like "What ever happened to Rayanne from My So-Called Life?" Well, don't worry, because A.J. Langer is doing fine — much better than how her iconic '90s character probably would have fared (All that sex! Drugs! Wild hair!). In fact, she's a damn countess. Step aside, LuAnn. A.J. met British Lord Charles Courtenay in 2002 and they married in 2005. They have two kids. Real-life Rayanne swapped her title of a Lady for that of a Countess when Charles' father passed away last week, making her husband an Earl. In other words, boring, boring, boring, Rayanne now has a castle. The title includes a 14th-century estate in Exeter, England. Get it, Rayanne! Wanna attend the Gloss book release party that Marc Jacobs is hosting next month during New York Fashion Week? Well, first you have to be fabulous enough to get an invite — but that's not all. The invite features a lengthy, descriptive dress code that includes "fur coats over lingerie," "Grace Jones butch realness," "riding in on a white horse" (literally?) and sequins — three times. Read my wedding dress code the full description here. Highly specific talent: This woman sounds exactly like Beyoncé. If Beyoncé did commercial voiceovers. Rumors about a Sons of Anarchy spinoff were circulating before the seven-season show even concluded last year. The idea was a prequel focusing on SAMCRO's origins with Jax's dad John Teller and the rest of the Redwood Original. But FX is instead moving forward with a spinoff about the Mayans, a rival motorcycle club. If you can't wait for another Kurt Sutter series, tune into The Bastard Executioner, premiering on FX Sept. 15. The medieval war drama stars Sons' Gemma (Katey Sagal, Sutter's wife), True Blood's Bill (Stephen Moyer) and, naturally, the multihyphenate Sutter as a prosthetic-covered character called "The Dark Mute." And speaking of spinoffs, Fear the Walking Dead, a companion series to the similarly-titled The Walking Dead, is now on AMC. See this week's TV column to read more about the new series and other shows to watch this week. If you find yourself in the Chicago area and need a new gig, this Craigslist gem is searching for a tour assistant for a cat circus. MUST LOVE CATS!

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
James Franco is coming to Cincinnati two shoot not one but two films this May. The actor/filmmaker, who will always be Daniel Desario to me, will be working on two movies simultaneously: Goat, a frat hazing film based on the memoir King Kelly by Brad Land, and The Long Home, about bootlegger Dallas Harden, adapted from William Gay's novel of the same name. Franco is on to produce Goat, which stars Nick Jonas and Ben Schnetzer; he'll produce and direct The Long Home. The latter film's cast has not been announced yet, but a recent Facebook post by Franco mentioned the movie along with Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games series, Union, Ky., native), Timothy Hutton (a bunch of TV dramas I've never seen + Ordinary People), Keegan Allen (not to be confused with Andrew Keegan), Ashley Green (all the Twilights), Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Jim Parrack (True Blood) and Scott Haze (lots o' Franco flicks). Let's ponder while looking at a topless Franco: In a Salon article about HBO's Silicon Valley that called out the show's "woman problem," the writer mistakenly reported that Silicon's Kumail Nanjiani is the same person as Big Bang Theory's Kunal Nayyar. OOF. Look at this: Women Having A Terrible Time At Parties In Western Art History The Full House sequel show you've been wishing for is finally coming, and the cherry on top of this nostalgic cake has to be the fact that Kimmy Gibbler will return! Fuller House is set to premiere on Netflix sometime next year and will focus on D.J. (Candace Cameron-Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy (Andrea Barber). Adult D.J. is a vet, she has two boys and is pregnant with another, and the show picks up with her being recently widowed (R.I.P. Steve?!). Aspiring musician Stephanie moves in along with single mom Kimmy and her teenage daughter. It sounds like a pretty fucked up plot until you realize it is exactly the same as the original, but with ladies. Remake ALL THE THINGS with ALL THE LADIES! John Stamos is producing and will pop in from time to time as Uncle Jesse, but the rest of the original cast is still up in the air. This could be a big pile of awful, but one thing gives me hope: Stephanie is still pursuing her entertaining dreams! A masked hero in the UK is going around spray painting penises around potholes to try to get them filled faster. Best part: they're going by the name Wanksy. Inside Amy Schumer's third season just started, and already there have been some epic musical moments. She pays tribute to the It Girl of body parts, the butt — watch out, eyebrows are comin' for that title — in "Milk Milk Lemonade" and gives One Direction a realistic makeover with "Girl, You Don't Need Makeup." David Ayer revealed Jared Leto's Joker look for the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. Let the mockery begin! Cecily Strong hosted "nerd prom," which is the White House Correspondents' Dinner and not Comic-Con. See the SNL star's full speech here. Obama addressed the crowd beforehand and, thankfully, Luther the anger translator was on hand. Apparently any time more than two stars of a past TV show/movie are in the same room, that constitutes a reunion. So I guess there was a Lizzie McGuire "reunion" with Hilary Duff, Lalaine (Miranda) and Jake Thomas (Lizzie's little brother whose name I can't remember and won't look up). Considering Gordo, Lenny and animated Lizzie weren't there, this is truly a weak reunion. Sorry. Read more in this TIME article (seriously). If you need a massive dose of Beyoncé in a short amount of time: New movie trailers: Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling accidentally go to a strange sex party in The Overnight; Tyson Beckford's answer to Magic Mike, Chocolate City (dear god).

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
A terrified-looking local 2-year-old has become something of an Internet sensation over the past week. In a funny photo with a cute story-turned-viral image, Quincy Kroner posed with two friendly looking garbage men in front of their truck (as he held his own mini garbage truck toy). Pictured: Internet gold. Dad and Northside resident Ollie Kroner, who's no stranger to CityBeat, posted the photo on Facebook, saying, "Quincy's been waiting all week to show the garbage men his garbage truck. But, in the moment, he was overwhelmed in the presence of his heroes." The photo was shared by friends and family, then their friends and so on until the image appeared prominently on Tumblr, Imgur, Awkward Family Photos, Huffington Post and ABC News.Despite the sudden fame, Quincy continues to live a low-profile, tiny human life. Read more here. (Worth noting is the writer's choice to drive home the point that "it started with a sticker chart" and to include the comment "Garbage men get swole as hell and are generally the greatest people around.") Stock footage provider Dissolve created a "faux" TV trailer using only stock video, and it appears only slightly more generic that a CBS fall lineup. Just in time for Mad Men's final season premiere, AMC paid tribute to the show with a bench resembling the Don Draper silhouette logo that has become so iconic. The bench — which I really need them to mass-produce — was unveiled in front of the Time-Life building, which Sterling Cooper & Partners has called home in Mad Men universe since Season Four. Jon Hamm was profiled in GQ's April issue, and the show's leading man shared some advice given to him from a guy who knows what it's like to portray an iconic TV character and then, suddenly, not — Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston. "It's hard, man," Cranston told him. "It's hard to let it go. It'll hit you a couple of different ways at different times." But before you get depressed thinking about all of Mad Men joining Walter White and the other characters in the big TV set in the sky, there's still a whole (OK, half) season of Mad Men to obsess and drink over, starting April 5. Serena Williams made her own 7/11 video a la Beyoncé. Almost as good as the original and how cute is it when she stops dancing to let that old man walk by? Definitely needed more azz, though. Goodbye Zuckerberg, hello Luthor! Jesse Eisenberg lost his curly locks to embody his upcoming role as Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Check out his TRANSFORMATION (he just shaved his head) here.The cast of Pretty Woman the movie's 25th anniversary with a reunion on the Today Show. While it has been quite a few years since the last good hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold movie, don't count on a sequel. They say there will never be a Pretty Woman 2. At least some things are sacred. With that being said, of course there's new remake news this week. Fox announced that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will return as Mulder and Scully in the network's limited-series reboot of The X-Files. The John Candy classic Uncle Buck is also getting a TV remake. Mike Epps and Nia Long are set to star in the ABC comedy. (This isn't the first time Uncle Buck is getting the TV treatment — there was a short-lived series of the same name in 1990). Until then, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face. Some movies are getting turned into TV shows while some television series are getting reworked for the big screen. Finally, the Entourage movie trailer is here. Who doesn't love a good conspiracy theory? Reddit user Euchrid_Eucrow posted an in-depth analysis on the Barenaked Ladies song "One Week" (yes, you're reading all of this correctly) in the Fan Theories subreddit. S/He argues that that song — an upbeat Pop-Rock earworm full of random bits of early-Millennium pop culture — is about a man who killed his girlfriend and is slowly going mad as he stays in a room with the corpse. Internet! Here's Sarah Jessica Parker throwing fifty shades of shade at Tom Hanks at a hockey game. Forget Resting Bitchface — Carrie Bradshaw's got a very active bitchface.

Comedy Central's nightly "news" lineup is amidst a total overhaul with the recent end of The Colbert Report and the addition of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Stephen Colbert stepped down in December, and now The Daily Show's Jon Stewart is following suit. The comedian shocked audiences at a Daily Show taping this week with the announcement that he'd be retiring from the show sometime later this year. While Colbert left to replace David Letterman as Late Show host (Letterman will step down in May; Colbert will take over in September), it's unclear whether Stewart has another gig lined up, but it does sound like the show will continue with a new host. (The show originally featured Craig Kilborn before Stewart took over in 1996.) Amy Schumer stars in a new Judd Apatow movie and, predictably, it looks hilarious.Some previously unreleased Spice Girls songs hit the webz Wednesday, only to disappear from SoundCloud soon after. Could this be assign of another girl powa' reunion?! Speaking of leaks, House of Cards' third season — which does not premiere until Feb. 27 — was available on Netflix for about 30 minutes yesterday. No, Frank Underwood was not pulling a Beyoncé by releasing a full season unannounced. It was a "mistake." A leak? More like the best House of Cards ad ever. Anyone who had momentarily forgotten about the upcoming season is now ready to binge the moment it premieres. It's been a great week in fashion for models who don't look like hungry baby aliens, which is rare. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featured two plus-size models; "World's Oldest Supermodel," 83-year-old Carmen Dell'Orefice appeared on the cover of New You magazine; and Jamie Brewer, who many of us know from American Horror Story, walked in a New York Fashion Week show today, becoming the first person with Down syndrome to do so. Yay beauty diversity! And then there was The Grammys. The night's program kind of reminded me of the Super Bowl half-time shows of the early 2000s, where the desperate attempt to appeal to as many people as possible resulted in a mashup of lineups that simultaneously featured Nelly, Britney Spears and Aerosmith. Between Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett and Jessie J and Tom Jones, there were lots of slow songs sung by duos of old and young people, which made it very easy to watch the 603 other shows on Sunday nights (Hey, Better Call Saul!) Sam Smith was the big winner of the night: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album all went to the magical songbird. Beck won Album of the Year and Best Rock Album ("Beck is still making music?" – everyone. Yes, he is. Morning Phase came out a full year ago). All those categories sound the damn same! Of course, since Beyoncé was also nominated for Album of the Year — and a bunch of other categories she didn't win #salty — Kanye just had to, well, Kanye Beck's acceptance speech, and Bey and Jay Z were definitely surprised I love Beyoncé's subtle "No, Kanye, don't...Someone stop him…" — which is basically the equivalent of "Somebody get a sponge!" — and Jay's legit look of terror. Also of course, if anyone thought Kanye was taking a jab at himself by recreating Taylorgate, he wanted to remind them of what a real asshole he is by running his mouth some more after the show. And then other people responded to Kanye's response and now I'm writing about it. Circle of life, folks. Highlights: Sia's "Chandelier" performance with Kristen Wiig and Maddie Ziegler totally takes the cake as my favorite performance (and you know this is a serious claim when Queen Bey is in the picture). Kristen Wiig gave a soulful choreographed performance with the Dance Moms star — who would have guessed? GOOSEBUMPS. Beyoncé recreated her sister's recent wedding with her performance of "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" It was Sunday, after all. Amen! Speaking of taking us to church, Hozier and Annie Lennox was my favorite collab of the night, performing the former's breakout hit and "I Put a Spell on You." Intoxicating! Pharrell traded his Arby's hat for an old-timey child bellhop uniform and presenting a heavy performance of "Happy" And then it looks like Taylor Swift begged Jay Z to go to brunch with her. Awkward, especially when he finds out "brunch" is Taylor's word for playing tea party with her cats while in pajamas. But judge for yourself. "Brunch." "Brunch!" "BRUNCH." See all the winners here.

Many longtime Parks and Recreation fans are well aware of actor Chris Pratt's greatness, but sometimes it takes the combination of a personal trainer and a blockbuster action flick for an actor to get big mainstream recognition. Sure, Parks and Rec's Andy Dwyer may be all buff now, but Pratt is definitely not just relying on that body — he's even exploring other aspects of the entertainment business, like rapping! When on a radio show recently, Pratt talked about living in a van in Hawaii, smoking weed every day and blasting The Chronic 2001 on repeat. (Yes, Chris Pratt really was basically Andy Dwyer and yes, this story will fuel fantasies for years to come.) Thankfully, all that weed fog didn't cloud his memory, as he proved by rapping the better half "Forgot About Dre" from memory, to perfection. Between his actually good rap skills and his obvious musical talent as seen on Parks (Mouse Rat for life!), Pratt could probably be a successful musician. I can hear it now: Matchbox 20 meets Eminem… The titular line from The Killers' song "Are We Humans or Are We Dancer" has been dubbed the weirdest lyric ever. Am I alone in just now realizing "dancer" wasn't plural? Am I alone in giving this any thought at all? On Aug. 1, Netflix dumped a bunch of streaming movies and shows — due to the constantly expiring contracts with distributors — but several more were added. You may have to find other ways to watch Airplane!, Paper Moon and Heartbreaker, but you can now stream Air Bud, Kinky Boots, the Rocky franchise, Spice World and several other movies, plus new show releases throughout the month. Lea Michele is latest on the growing list of random celebrities appearing in the final season of Sons of Anarchy. The squeaky-clean Glee star joins the likes of Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love. Peep this vid of Jax Teller himself, Charlie Hunnam, addressing Comic Con fans from the Sons set. And to think he was thisclose to starring in 50 Shades… Beyoncé dropped a remix of "Flawless" this weekend. The track features Nicki Minaj — fresh album art azz controversy — and in it Bey acknowledges, for the first time, the infamous elevator incident of 2014. Quel scandale! Peep these popular movies and TV shows rendered as Little Golden Book-style children's reads. So Marnie from Girls is going to play Peter Pan in NBC's live staging of the musical. Really not sure how I feel about this, especially considering my confusion over always casting a woman to play the man-boy. Does it somehow make it less disturbing that the character is an adult, acts like a kid, and takes children from their room at night? Like, "Hey, guys, this actually isn't scary because Peter Pan is really a lady!"? I mean, far be it from me to insist on more men onscreen — There just aren't enough! — but all the guys I know with Peter Pan Complex are far from impish, androgynous waifs. OK, what the shit is happening here: Katy Perry's videos always carry a strong WTF factor, but "This Is How We Do" hurt my brain/eyeballs. There's a twerking ice cream cone, random nods to famous works of art, inedible tacos and pizza (the nerve!) and a sprinkling of cultural appropriation. Basically I haven't felt as hypnotized, confused and old since I watched "We Won't Stop" for the first time. Get off my lawn, girls! New movie trailers to hit the Interwebz: Disney musical Into the Woods starring Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine; dark comedy Birdman, which centers on an actor (Michael Keaton), known for his superhero role in films, as he attempts to create a Broadway play; and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar: wormholes and space travel with Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain.

Throughout history, people have often said they can remember many details about where they were when they heard monumental news: the moon landing or JFK's assassination, for example. So it is likely we'll recount to our children and grandchildren what we were doing when we learned of the most recent Great American Tragedy: The Solange-Beyoncé-Jay Z Feud of 2014. Just weeks ago, sisters Beyoncé and Solange Knowles were playfully performing onstage together at Coachella. Now, Solange has all but erased her sibling from her life (well, from her Instagram, at least). The fallout comes after the release of an elevator surveillance video from the Met Gala after-party in which (supposedly) Solange Knowles (apparently) attacked (a man who might be) Jay-Z as Beyoncé (reportedly) stood by. Check out the video here. This shit is a goldmine for gossip rags every media entity, so rumors, anonymous reports and vague speculations are coming out of the woodwork regarding all three recording artists. Some say Solange was just being a drunk mess and flipped when Jay told her to chill out; others report Solange has concerns about Jay's fidelity and Beyoncé has become his robot bride; it's also being speculated that the stunt is just a piece of performance art arranged by James Franco. At the end of the day, we can all hope the trio will work things out, because they are a fambily. And speaking of, shout out to my friend Miranda who brought it to my attention that the sisters sang the theme song for the early-2000s Disney animated series, Proud Family. Never forget. Now, cue the "Drunk in an Elevator" spoofs. Usually when your grandma discovers social media, it can be an embarrassing disaster. Not if your grandma is a badass bitch, though. Enter Baddie Winkle. With a Twitter and Instagram tagline that reads, "stealing your man since 1928," Baddie lives up to her name by posting pictures of her babely outfits, words of wisdom and videos of her twerk game. BuzzFeed calls her "the most hardcore grandma on the Internet." And she's a local! Baddie hails from Williamstown, Ky., just a few miles south of Cincinnati on I-75. Represent, Baddie! Macaulay Culkin was trending this week when his pizza-themed Velvet Underground cover band, Pizza Underground (yes, yes, a million times yes) tweeted an epic photo of Culkin. Kevin McAllister himself is seen wearing a T-shirt with a photo Ryan Gosling…wearing a T-shirt with a photo of Macaulay. Meta, for sure, but not to be missed in the photo is the awesome Pizza Underground coffee mug. I'll take one of each, please. BREAKING: Add another layer to this meta-ception. (Totally 'shopped, but I don't care) Like it or not, Ben Affleck is the new Bruce Wayne in the upcoming (and still untitled) Batman vs. Superman movie. Check out the first look at the actor in character with the new and improved bat suit and Batmobile here. Plenty of great authors have odd writing process quirks, and A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin discussed one of his writing secrets on Conan this week. When asked if he was ever worried about a computer crash or virus deleting any of his lengthy works-in-progress, the writer revealed he uses WordStar 4.0 on a DOS — essentially a dinosaur of a word processor on an ancient computer not connected to the Internet. Because when you're writing fantasy work about the Middle Ages, you get into character as much as possible. Game of Thrones is in the final four episodes of the season, but we're in for a bevy of new and returning shows this summer. Check out this week's TV column for a summer show preview. We're really looking forward to HBO's The Leftovers and Cinemax's The Knick, to name a few.

I'm a huge fan of locally-produced commercials-gone-viral. Cincinnati's Fick Chiropractic Centers current ad might not be up there with Jamie Casino, but it does feature a killer beat that deserves some attention. Is anyone else just tickled by the concept of a local doctor employing a beatmaker for a commercial? It totally caught me off guard while watching Fox 19 Morning News (aka the Jacki Jing Variety Hour — bitch has more devoted fans than Lady Gaga, just peep their posts on her Facebook page. Locals — including my boyfriend — are totally enamored by her beautiful glamour shots, bubbly attitude and penchant for cosplay. How are the rest of us supposed to compete, Jacki?!). Are you sick of Beyoncé yet? Trick question: If you answered "Yes," please get out of here immediately. NO ONE is sick of Beyoncé ever, in fact, parody videos and choreographed routines to her songs are still pouring out of the woodwork four months after the release of her self-titled album. The latest tribute of note comes from self-proclaimed "star on the rise" Chanel Carroll, who's serving up student loan realness in her take on "Partition" called "Tuition." 'Cause we all just want live that debt-free life. Everything about this is flawless, from her JLo-circa-2000 vibe to the clip art to the cameo by Ashley from Sallie Mae. I would crown her as winner of the Internet for the week, but she shares the title with this dude who's been reviewing fast food and other grub from his car since 2012. Check out one of Daym Drops' most popular videos, featuring Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I want this guy to narrate my life or at least read my eulogy because dude describes a plain drive-thru burger with the eloquence of a poetic preacher. And of course there's a musical remix. OH MY DAYUM! Avril Lavigne continues her assault on our earholes with the confusing, excruciating "Hello Kitty." The Canadian singer responsible for 80 percent of ties bought by young women in 2002 apparently has a massive Asian following, but the Japanime-style video is more of a cringe-worthy misstep than cultural tribute. Hey white pop stars, stop using Asian women (or any women for that matter) as props! Lily Allen, another 2000s pop relic, is also coming out with new music and a record that automatically gets my support by taking a dig at Kanye West. Sheezus drops next month; the album's titular new single is a total lady anthem with praise for the Lorde and rhymes about…periods. Whatever, I'm digging it. This week in movie remake fuckery: A Mrs. Doubtfire sequel is in the works, because nothing from your childhood is sacred! Mara Wilson, who starred as the youngest child in the film (as well as Matilda in the '90s Roald Dahl film adaptation) revealed on social media that she wouldn't be a part of it, as she's been out of the acting game for several years — which, according to over-each headlines, translated into Wilson "slamming" the sequel, making the private former child actor a trending topic. While we may never see a grown-up Natalie Hillard or Matilda 2 (thank sheezus), you can enjoy Wilson's musings on her blog. And just because: Mrs. Doubtfire as a horror film. Also, Goonies 2 is also officially a go. Thanks, Spielberg. Hey, that's not Pit Bull, it's Amy Poehler! Orange Is The New Black is back on Netflix for a second season June 6 and the new trailer is here. The whole gang's back, with a few additions, but the lingering question remains: Where is Pennsatucky?! It was recently reported that Laura Prepon signed on for Season Three as rumors circulate about her being the future ex-wife of Tom Cruise. This is what I like to call Scientology Sads: When you think you like someone — a famous person, obviously, because the group might as well be called Celebentology — but it turns out they're a Scientologist. Such a shame.

Senior prom is a special milestone for many American teens, but even traditions as old as school dances change over time. Intimate one-on-one dates have given way to group dates and attending as friends. Flip-flops and cutout cocktail dresses replaced the overdone evening look for many girls. And now a southern-fried specialty is getting in the prom game. Kentucky Fried Chicken — What? Yes. — partnered with Louisville florists to create the chicken corsage. For $20, Louisville residents can purchase a corsage from Nanz and Kraft Florists that includes a $5 gift card to KFC, where folks can then go buy the perfect piece of chicken. It can only be assumed that after prom, girls will press the greasy chicken bone between their yearbook pages, just like their moms did with their corsages when they were young. It's confirmed: Stephen Colbert will take over the Late Show desk once David Letterman retires sometime in 2015. That'll mean no more Colbert Report and, likely, the end of the host's faux-servative character. Start the countdown to the announcement of a new reality show following Letterman, Leno (and, let's just be honest — Craig Ferguson and Conan O'Brien) around Ex-Host Island. Move over, old people! Slightly younger people are takin' yer jerbs!In the contemporary classic Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan's Cady describes Halloween as, "the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Well, Coachella must be kind of like Halloween for celebrities, except instead of wearing lingerie and some form of animal ears, they throw on the most jumbled assortment of terrible fashion fads. Not sure about the new cream-colored designer jumpsuit you purchased? Try it out in the middle of the desert! Want to channel Woodstock without ever having been to, read about or seen a photo of Woodstock? Grab a Native American headdress and wear that shit to Coachella. The fest is HQ for floral head wreaths, jorts and combat boots (often all worn at once), and for some reason I cannot pull myself away from the celeb photos of this mess. It's like someone made a slot machine with various teenagers' style blogs on Tumblr and everyone going to Coachella must take a spin to determine their outfit. "Ooh, I got a bindi, a latex bra, a crocheted duster and gladiator sandals!" Just look at these famous attendees, capped off with Koachella Kweenz Kylie and Kendall Jenner. But seriously, you need to see this video that's (probably) of Leonardo DiCaprio Coachin' it up (people say that, right?) at an MGMT performance, which makes me feel weird and old. And since I brought up Lindsay, the supposedly sober starlet was supposedly washing down all that Coachella dust and glitter with vodka this weekend. The reports come days after the latest episode of her Oprah docu-series, in which she admits to drinking alcohol after her latest stint in rehab. Also, there were a lot of emo scenes of Lindsay filming herself crying. Get it together, girl. OPRAH WILL CUSS AT YOU AGAIN. And everyone knows if Oprah has to cuss at you twice, you will spontaneously burst into flames. Celebrispawn in the media is quite the hot topic as of late, particularly thanks to Dax Sheppard and Kristen Bell vs. Papz (this will definitely be a court case our children will study in history class). But what about fake famous babies — fair game? OK! Leslie Knope is pregnant! Pawnee's upcoming addition will be the Prince George of fictional TV comedy births. Which is to say, a very big deal. Parks and Rec's Leslie and Ben will be the best parents ever. I think I speak for fans everywhere by saying we can't wait for his or her first playdate with the world's most attractive child, Ann and Chris' little Oliver. Sunday was an epic night for television with the final Mad Men premiere (sort of) and a crazy-ass episode of Game of Thrones. These two are great popular, critically-acclaimed dramas, but they're on complete opposite ends of the style spectrum. Mad Men's seventh season debut was gradual and calculated (as always), giving viewers a chance to fill in the blanks between Season Six and now, speculate on what's to come and read into every little detail. And by detail, I mean Pete's California Ken Doll look, which was #flawless. Ratings were way down Sunday — the lowest-rated premiere since the second season's in 2008. Some attribute the drop to a lackluster episode, but the truth is probably that everyone was too busy losing their shit over this week's Game of Thrones to get into the cool Mad Men mood. Without giving too much away (and because I spoiled "the incident" for myself since I can't stay off the damn Internet — so I know it sucks), Thrones fans who hadn't already read the books were treated to a truly righteous, bubbly, bloody scene this week that totally flips the script for many of our favorite characters. Can't these people get through one wedding without having to immediately plan a funeral? New movie trailers to hit the Interwebz: bestseller-turned-likely blockbuster Gone Girl; two red band previews for 22 Jump Street (The College Years); Sex Tape, starring Cameron Diaz and a manorexic Jason Segel, a comedy that's exactly what you think it's about; and Jon Favreau's take on the foodie world, Chef. Aaand it looks like Jay-Z and Beyoncé may tour together for a string of shows this summer, so I need to go quit my job and fulfill my dreams of being a roadie. Byé!

If we pretend there is no air resistance, what muzzle speed is required to attain this altitude? How long does the projectile remain at a height in excess of 1.00 x 10²km, the height of interest for high-altitude research? (Answer in SI units)

It's the peak of spring migration thru America's most critical migratory corridor here in Deep South Texas, and colorful songbirds such as painted buntings and rose-breasted grosbeaks' are briefly stopping over to rest and refuel on their flight to breeding grounds throughout North America.
Dr. Bart Ballard, research scientist at Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M Kingsville, is conducting groundbreaking research on bird migration with state of the art radar. Dr. Bart Ballard, "We have always known that the Texas coast is an important area for bird migration, and we have really learned how important with this study." Dr. Ballard has discovered that literally hundreds of millions of birds funnel thru the lower Texas coast during the fall and winter migrations, far surpassing any other migratory routes that have been documented in North America. Ballard, "The closest passage rates in North America that has been measured is about 16 percent of what ours is. We are about six times more than the closest measurement of passage rates."
Dr. Ballard and his graduate students began their radar studies in 2007 and currently operate two sophisticated units during migrations. Ballard, "What we see is this white dot. That is the radar unit, and we have a two nautical mile radius and about four nautical miles across here is the range we are looking at. All these green dots are actually targets that the radar unit has identified as birds." Many birds, particularly in the spring, migrate across the Gulf of Mexico, and having access to undeveloped coastal habitat where they can rest and find a meal is critical to their continued survival.

I understand many people dont care and dont think we will win a game in the tourney (as do I) but I still love the Big XII Tourney and talking about it...If you dont like it then don't respond
Probably looking at the 9, 10, or 11 seed...
Who would everyone want to play in the 1st rd? I would say Neb. possibly KSU
Who would you want to play in the 2nd round out of OU, KU, and MU?
Honestly probably KU out of that bunch I would say, OU in OKC would be a beatdown and Carroll is a nightmare for us. If we would have spotted KU a 30-13 lead we may have been in that one down the stretch.
I think if we belive in ourselves and in one another, we can win IT!!!

If the tournament started today Iowa State the #10 seed would play Nebraska the #7 seed.

I agree. I think the ideal setup for us would include Kansas State or Nebraska followed by Kansas.

As year's-end approaches, Worth partnered with nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator to determine which groups make the most of your money. The organizations on this list have consistently demonstrated financial health and spend a high percentage of their budgets on programming. And due to a new, more rigorous rating system, which tracks accountability and transparency, it's an entirely new crop at the top this year—including some nonprofits that might surprise you.
UM has received 11 consecutive four-star ratings from Charity Navigator.
The private research university has more than 15,000 students and focuses on education. It also has impressive medical facilities: The teaching hospital at its Miller School of Medicine is considered one of the top 50 in the country, and UM has also invested heavily in researching cures for diabetes, Alzheimer's, autism and cancer. With its development of the Life Science & Technology Park, UM hopes to make South Florida a biotech hub.

Though its revenue totaled more than $100 million, Children's Aid Society spent less than 1 percent of that—just over $426,000—on executive compensation.
Founded in 1853, CAS provides for needy children and families in New York City and Westchester County with school, health and social services. To reflect that mission, CAS sold its Greenwich Village buildings in May because the programs housed there had little to do with the upscale neighborhood.
Contact: Kathy Gallagher de Meij, associate director of development firstname.lastname@example.com, 212.949.4945, childrensaidsociety.org
This philanthropy spends less than 1 percent of revenue on fundraising.
Scholarship America's best known programs include Dollars for Scholars, which helps students pay for college, and the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, which has distributed some $70 million to aid families of 9/11 victims.
Contact: Cathy Card Sterling, vice president of development, email@example.com, 952.830.7300, scholarshipamerica.org
HCZ evaluates the efficacy of its programs with rigorous, measurable criteria.
Designed to break the cycle of trans-generational poverty in Harlem, the organization provides programs to support children from birth through college. Last year 90 percent of the public school seniors HCZ worked with were accepted into college.
Contact: Mindy Miller, vice president for development, firstname.lastname@example.com, 212.360.3255, hcz.org
The annual average of administrative costs at EOC is 4 percent of the budget or less.
A Colorado organization that helps pay utility bills for those in need, EOC also has a sustainable approach to energy affordability: It provides grants to affordable housing communities for energy efficiency upgrades. At the state level, EOC lobbies for affordable energy policies on behalf of low-income consumers.
Contact: Skip Arnold, executive director, email@example.com, 303.226.5050, energyoutreach.org
Compassion International gets 80 percent of its revenue from donors sponsoring children at $38 per month.
CI was founded in 1952 to provide Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education, healthcare and Christian schooling. The organization has remained focused on child development and advocacy abroad, and today it aids more than one million children in 26 countries.
Contact: 800.336.7676, compassion.com
CBPP showed 18 percent growth in program spending last year.
The nonpartisan research institute advances policies designed both to reduce poverty and inequality and to restore fiscal responsibility. Conducting research on proposed budget and tax policies, the Center helps promote the Earned Income Tax Credit, a federal tax break for low-income working families that lifts more children out of poverty than any other government program while encouraging and rewarding work. The Center also works with 7,000 organizations nationwide to help eligible families file the tax returns necessary to receive the credits.
Contact: Robert Greenstein, president and founder, firstname.lastname@example.com, 202.408.1080, cbpp.org
This group's primary revenue—individual donations—increased by more than 15 percent last year.
Working to care for and find homes for neglected and abandoned pets, CAP has one of the highest adoption rates in Texas, about 47 percent. (That number is three times the national average adoption rate.) In January 2011 CAP opened its own 21,000-square-foot shelter.
Contact: Kappy Muenzer, executive director, firstname.lastname@example.com, 281.705.0686, cap4pets.org
Almost 97 percent of its funds go directly to programs.
The Florida-based organization focuses on improving the health and economic, social and spiritual conditions of poor people in Latin America and the Caribbean. Beyond donating food, Food for the Poor offers micro-enterprise opportunities and education, drills wells for clean drinking water, provides medical care and builds homes for families without shelter. It has built more than 2,400 permanent two-room homes for victims of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Contact: 954.427.2222, foodforthepoor.org
Gifts of $1 million or more have increased 402 percent in the last five years.
The private university is a leader in interdisciplinary research and global engagement. For example: The university works with the Food and Drug Administration on regulatory standards for the approval of biopharmaceuticals to ensure rigorous safety testing for new medicines.

Winged Liner: Easy How To!!!
In this very quick tutorial, I will show how to do the winged liner using all the 3 main types of eyeliners available, the Liquid Liner, Cream Liner, and the Pencil Liner.
I picked up this method from SarahVictor's 'watermelon makeup' video (in the 4.00min) and I find that this is the best for me, because:
1. It follows the natural shape of your own eyes, so anyone who use this method will be able to draw a winged liner which suits your own eye shape
2. Because you are extending your own eye shape, as opposed to just flicking out the liner which can end up quite randomly especially if you are new to winged liners, you willl always end up with symmetrical/balanced winged lined eyes. I think the tricky part of pulling off the winged liner is always figuring out how far out and the angle in which you do the 'wing' and most of the time, you end up with different looking 'wings' on both eyes

Sadly, a large number of solicitations, especially over the phone, for causes purporting to benefit police and firefighters are a lot less than they seem. Problems include ridiculously high fundraising costs, a non-charitable purpose (like labor negotiations) and even non-deductibility of your gifts.

Actress Kavita Verma admits she has been fortunate to groove to the "Hai ishq Krishna ki leela", an item number from forthcoming film "Policegiri", under ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya's guidance.
Mincing no words in praising Acharya, she said: "I feel fortunate that I did my first song with Ganesh Acharya, who choreographed the song. He pulls out the talent within you."
A trained Kathak dancer, Kavitta said she learnt how to belly dance for the number.
"He blended both these dance forms and has presented it very beautifully," she added.
Recently, Kavitta was caught up in a controversy regarding her scant dressing and for sporting a rosary on her body and the Holy Cross on her belly in the item song. But she apologised for it.
Directed by K.S. Ravikumar and produced by T.P. Aggarwal and his son Rahul Aggarwal, "Policegiri", starring Sanjay Dutt and Prachi Desai, releases July 5.

"The land of fire and ice: Iceland" Iceland by Nexus7
Iceland Travel Guide: 6,445 reviews and 20,252 photos
Iceland, the home of my ancestors (well one quarter at least). This magical land is enchanted with beautiful people who are as interesting as they are nice. The land is almost alien, but all the same remarkably beautiful. It is easy to fall in love with this country if you don't mind the crazy weather, which I don't. The history is great and the culture is fascinating. If you're tired of the normal European countries, check this one out.
This history of this island goes back to about 874, I believe, when Irish monks first inhabited it and a few vikings from Norway. It was used as a penal colony briefly, until they realized that if you went to the other side of the island(where the glaciers and tundra are not located), it was actually quite green and lush with pleasant conditions. People began to settle it and in 930 created a form of democracy called the Allthingi, which still exists today. It has the record as the oldest existing democracy. It was independent until 1262 when the Scandinavian countries came under one rule and it was not granted independence again for over 600 years. There were numerous steps to independence from the 19th to the 20th centuries. Iceland had its own religious reformations such as the switch to Christianity aroudn 1000 or so and then the switch from Catholicism, which of course was bloody and now they are Luthern like the rest of Scandinavia countries. Now the country of nearly 300,000 people enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world.
- Pros:Beautiful, fun, environmental, interesting
- Cons:Expensive, extremely seasonal
- In a nutshell:Iceland is more than an island, it's a another world.

Great page....LOVE your pictures!! My husband and I are going to Iceland in July, and I will definitely refer back to your pages for planning advice. :-)
I think you just got the wrong impression of the Sirkus bar actually! That bar is frequented by hollywood stars these days.. Icelandic people are usually quite friendly towards foreigners.
I enjoyed your page - we are off to Iceland in 4 weeks
Beautiful place to be visited, but just watching it I felt the cold!
wow, really fantastic page on iceland; some impressing pics! ...for some reason i also just love strolling thru residential areas btw and having a look at how ppl live etc. it is kinda interesting
Great Icleand page and some very unique tips!! :) Iceland has always been a place of fascination for me; I surely must go there someday. You know, the Leif Ericson photos reminded me: there's a monument to him in my hometown, Cleveland. :)
Very helpful tips! I am sure you liked Iceland. I hope to go some day.
Great photos! I'm going to Iceland in a few weeks and can't wait.
Nice page about Iceland. I had a great time over there some years ago. Greetings from Norway !

This is the im- portant fuot brought out by the prelimi- nary ftgnrea for hia report on the pro- duction of precious medals given out by Director of the Mint Preston. Tho total figures when officially announced will show a production during the last calendar year of not less than 000. The production for 1893 was Mr. Preston estimates the production of gold by the mines of the United States during to have been 800 tine ounots, of the coining value of an increase over 1893 of the largest amount produced n any year since 1878. The production of silver from the mines of the United Btates is estimated to have approximated ounces, of the coining value of showing a decrease as compared with 1893 of ounces. Although the production in the Jnited States is larger than ever before, Australia has passed the United Btates and become the largest gold producer n the world, and Africa, where a few pnars ago the yield was almost insignifi- cant, has come to the front with only ibout half a million loss gold output ban the United States. These facts will have an important >earmg on the monetary question in the United Status and other countries where here is more or leas clamor for the re- iteration of silver to free coinage on equal terms with gold. They indicate hat there is no ground for the content ion of the silver men that there is not enough gold being produced to supply he demand if gold alone is to be the itandard of value. SCRAM KTjK FOR WHEAT. Grout Kxoltomoiit Over the 1'rices NKW YOIIK, May excitement at the opening of the wheat market to- day exceeded anything seen heretofore during the present advance. It was a wild tumt.lt of buying with almost a total disregard to price, so that July opened from to 83Jo at tho same moment. This represented a rise of from the official clone of yester- day and laljc over the curb price. After jumping up to prices lost a cent aud then swung back again, ad vunciug to S'ij-c. Transit went far ahead of any day yet, amounting to bushels before 12 o'clock, which is almost an unheard of total. Most of this groat business was done dariug the first hour. The excitement at the open ing was intensified by the reported covering of a big Chicago short, who sold a large line of wheat last night, anr when tho market waa put np on him had difficulty in'getting margins. Tbie morning the private wires said he wae buying in his wheat and tbe Chicago market jumped a cent a bushel between sales. The merchant who keeps Pax is up to date and yon may know be keeps a fine line of goods. THERK IS PLENTY OF UOLD. TALK ABOUT SCIIOJTIISLD. Us Visit to Houston May Develop a Candidate.

WASHTKGTON, May Mnnas- siun, n naturalized citizen of the United States, has made complaint to the Sec- retary of State of bis arrest and impris- onment in Turkey about six months ago. He is of Armeainn birth, and be- came a citizen of the United States by nuturaliziition in 1893. According to bis deposition, he left New York in July 1893, to visit relatives in bis native city of Tokat, Turkey. At nople he showed his passport and eeived n permit from the government to go to Tokat. About three months later be was sum- moned toSamsoon to see a dying nephew. Thereupon he applied to the govern- ment to vise bis permit. The authori- ties took the permit and his passport to show tbe governor, They retained both and gave him a provisional permit, with which be was allowed to go to Bamsoon and return. Oa applying for his pass- port he was informed, after three months' delay, that it had been sent to he vali, or governor general, at Sivae. He laid the matter before United States ionsul J'ewett at Sivas, and was in- foinied by him that his papers had been sect to Constantinople. lu September ;be governor general visited Tokat, and when Manaseiau asked him for his pass- port he told him be should not have be- ome an American citizen. Arrebted and Sent to Prison. "Three days says Manassiau, "seven Turkish soldiers came into tbe uouse where I was with my wife and child, and in spite of my protests that I was an American citizen, and that they tiad uo right to arrest me without tbe information of au American official, they compelled me to go, saying tLe vali wanted me. They took me to prisoo. "Tbe next morning they put me in chains aud manacles and an iron ring around my neck, together with two murderers in a dungeon, and then sent me in a cart to Amasia. "Neither I nor my friends could send telegrams. The messages would be cepted, but not sent. But a messenger was sent to Sivas and information given to Consul Juwett, and yet nothing was done eilher by him or the consul at 3uoi8oon for two weeks. "They .brought me out occasionally to ask if I still persisted in remaining an American when I said I did, they took me buck to jail. "At the end of two weeks I was sent as a prisoner to Constantinople and put in prison. Tbe next day Minister Ter- rell was informed and I was released and sent to him. All Ills Money Stolen. "He heard of all I bad suffered. It was some days after my urripul that n letter came from Consul Jewett, and both he and consul at Samsoon have confirmed the outrage and injury inflict' ed upon me. "I dumfoundod to find, when I was released, that my wife had no ey whatever, all the money that I had, about and my watch havidg been stolen by the Turkish soldiers who ran- sacked my bouse tile night they arrest- ed me. "I sent an appeal by registered letter from Constantinople on December 12 last to the President of the United States, begging him that telegraphic instruc- tions be sent to Minister Terrell to secure justice for me. "No answer came. There had not been even a word against me from any Turkish official, and even the chief of police at Constantinople ezpressed as- tonishment that I should have been ar- rested and put in chains, when my record was BO clear. My crime was that I had become an American citizen." SIGNS OF BISTTEU TIMES. Improvement In the Stool nutl Iron Industry. NEW YORK, May Iron Age today says: The improvement baa now spread to practically every section of the country and to every department, with very few exceptions. The con- sumption is growing aud the demand is certainly very much better, buyers hav- ing given up resistance. Unless some fatality throws back the iron trade, the balance of this year promises to be quite good. Thus far only very few eastern con- cerns have followed the initiative of the west in advancing because the improvement in prices is ]ust begin- ning to reach them. The soft steel market is up, with little material available for July delivery. The steel rail trade is in better shape, although current reports are exager- ated. The wire industry is quite active. There has been a sharp advance in all nails. In the foundry iron business (here has been quite some activity in the west and a very decided hardening in the east.

PITTSBCKG, Pa., May devo- tional services of tbe Presbyterian gen- eral assembly, at the opening of the seventh day of its session, were con- ducted by Rev. Irvin M. Muldrow, a colored minister from Cheraw, S. C. The question of the relation of the students of Union Seminary to the pres- bytery of New York came up on an overture from that body. A long opin- ion was read, and it was recommended that the presbytery of New York be in- structed and enjoined not to receive students who are pursuing or who pro- pose to pursue their studies in semi- naries not approved by the general as- sembly. This motion was carried by a large vote, and in announcing result, Moderator Booth said that New York presbytery would note the instructions given by its superior authority, and would obey its orders. The opposition to this action was decided, but insuffi- cient to affect the vote of the assembly. The day of prayer for colleges was ffxed for the second Sunday in January. Judge William H. Jessup then took the floor and read the report on system atic beneficence, summarizing the gifts of the church during the year to the various benevolent purposes of its missionary and other boards. He was followed by Dr. Kufus S. Green of Elmira, N. Y., secretary of the com mittee. MR. CARLISLE ASTONISHED. Had STo Idea of the Size of the Soutul- Mouey Movement. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May an As- sociated Press reporter Secretary Car- lisle this afternoon expressed himself as astonished at the magnitude of the sound money demonstration. "I have the greatest said he, "in the ultimate success of the sound money movement. "The wave of silver sentiment reached formidable- proportions, but I think it has about spent itself and is already on the dec'ine. "In nay own state the struggle is a hard one, and I have seldom seen such great general interest in a public ques- tion as is shown there, and, in fact, throughout this section, I trust the good sense and judgment of the Southern people. "No section of the country is more vitally interested in the maintenance of a sound financial policy by tho govern- ment, and none has greater promise of prosperity under sound, economic con- ditions." GUAlimXG THIS MIXES. Trouble Is Expected and lloputles Are Summoned. PrrT3BUB.o, May trouble is expected on tho Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio road, and at the Turtle Creek mine. A Jarge number of miners assembled at Willock station yes- terday and marched to tbe mines of F. L. Bobbins in 11 body, remaining there all night. As a result the mine is closed today and the miners a're out for the G9-cent rate. The strikers today moved on to Snow- den, where the mines of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal Company are located. Sheriff Richards was notified, and at once sent, five deputy sheriffs there to prevent any rioting. A mass-meeting is arranged to be held at Turtle creek tonight to bring out the employes of the New York and Cleveland Gas (Joal Company, men who aie working at less than the union rate. A force of deputies has been detailed to guard the mines and protect the men who aie at work. Senator Faulkner on Silver. WASHINGTON, May of the silver movement today. Senator Faulkner said: "There has been an attempt to call a silver convention in West Virginia this summer, bat I do not think it will be successful. I opposed the movement as being ill timed and useless in a year when there was no national convention to which delegates could be sent. Even some of the free silver news- papers have declared against the con- vention, and inquiries sent to leading men throughout the state have brought in a great many adverse opinions. the national democrat 10 convention wiU make some oonoes-, sion to the silver men, but this conces- sion will not bo for free coinage. I be- lieve that some satisfactory arrangement will be 'made for the recognition of sil- ver, so that tbe government may not at tbe same time be embarrassed." Martl's Death. Olllclally Announced. WASHINGTON, May 23 con- firmation has been received here of the death of General Marti, the Cuban leader, in a battle with tbe Government troops. Tbe papers found on his body are expected to result in important des velopments, as he was in personal cor- respondence with insurgent sympathizers in the United'States, who have thus far eluded detection. Safe Works Burned. CAMBUIDQB, Mass., iSay plant of tbe Diamond Safe Works, corner of Maine aud 1st streets, this city, was destroyed by fire at about 2 o'clock this morning. The works covered one and a half acres, and consisted mostly of wooden buildinga. The total loss is esti- mated at with a very small insurance. Several firms near by also sustained considerable loss. Tho Government Authorities Power- less to Prevent it. THEIE POWER TOO LIMITED. Carcasses Condemned ns Unfit For Ex- portation Disposed of at eign Countries Alouo Protected. WASHINGTON, May of Agriculture Morton and Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, are very much exercised oyer the attack made on the effectiveness of the meat inspection now carried on under the act of 1890. The inspection provided for under the act was to meet the demands of foreign governments to which our meats was exported, but the authority given the Secretary was insufficient, and Mr. Morton has tried in every way to induce Congress to cure the defects. The truth has been that while the in- spection separated the healthy from the diseased meat and prevented the export of tbe latter, the Secretary was not clothed with the power to compel the destruction of condemned meat, and this could be sold in the domestic mar- kets. If the legislatures of the states bad taken steps to co-operate with the department by providing for the dec struction of carcasses condemned by the federal inspectors, the inspection would have been rendered effective. But this was not done and tbe Secretary appealed to Congress. Last December while the agricultural appropriation bill was under consideration, he drew up an amendment to tbe inspection act.and urged Senator George and others to in- corporate it in the bill. In his letter to Senator George he "At present, condemned animals, pre- cluded from interstate or foreign trade, are put upon the market where the con- demnation is made. When a swine carcass is found to be alive with trichi- nae, it cannot be sold to go into another state nor for export. But it can be put upon the market where it is killed." The amendment the Secretary pre- pared empowered him to "cause all carcassess which have been inspected, and for any hygienic or other reasons condemned to be tanked, rendered or otherwise disposed of in a way that shall effectually prevent the sale of tho same for human provided a penalty of for violation of the law. The amendment was accepted in a greatly modified form. It doesnoV go as far as tho Secretary desires, but may subserve his purpose. The amend- ment, however, does not go into effect until July 1. Meantime, however, the department objects strenuously to the intimations thrown out that the inspection, as at present conducted, in no wise protects domestic consumers. The Secretary, without the definite authority of law, insists that he has accomplished much. In tbe first place, he has compelled all persons having abattoirs, applying for inspection, to sign a written agreement to abide by tbe regulations of the de- partment and tank all carcasses of cattle, sheep and swine, condemned, except for trichinosis in perk. Of the carcasess inspected during the last fiscal year cattle, 46G sheep and hogs were tanked under agreements of this character, although the law did not specifically compel their destruction. This proportion of the total number of carcasses examined may seem small, but it is held that it should be borne in mind that animals sent to market are gener- ally in condition for slaughter, and, further, that all animals on the hoof discovered to be eick are rejected and not even admitted to inspection. With reference to trichinae in pork, Dr. Salmon says much public misap- prehension exists. Swine are not mi-- croscopically examined for trichinosis save such as are intended for export to only country that de- mands and exacts such an examination. It is purely a an Other coun- tries do not require it and rely upon the people to see that pork is well the only sure method of avoiding tri- chinosis. Dr. Salmon frankly says that he doubts the expediency and effective- ness of a general microsopical examina- tion for trichinas in pork. The results of trichinosis inspections in Germany do not justify it. There are more cases of trichinosis among the people of Germany than any other, and this is attributed directly to the facf that Germans, lulled into fancied security by the rigid inspection eat much of their pork raw or under done, whereas the people of other countries, appteoiating the dangers from trichinae, habifually cook all pork thoroughly.

Landon Donovan assists on L.A.'s first three goals and later scores his first goal of the season in the 67th minute to cap the rout.
Sounders FC midfielder Freddie Ljungberg placed his hands on his hips with a "How did this happen?" tenor as the final seconds of an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy ticked away Saturday.
The Qwest Field scoreboard read the final: L.A. Galaxy 4, Sounders FC 0.
A resounding defeat and Seattle's worst-ever loss at home in front of 36,273 fans, a team record for a Major League Soccer game.
"I think the fans deserve a big apology," said Sounders FC forward/midfielder Steve Zakuani. "They can't pay to watch that."

They did pay to see MLS's best team, however. The top-of-the-table Galaxy (7-0-1) has outscored opponents 15-2 this season and leads Seattle (2-3-3) by 13 points in the Western Conference standings.
They also paid to see arguably the league's two best players in L.A. forwards Landon Donovan, who assisted on his team's first three goals and later scored his first goal of the season in the 67th minute to cap the rout, and Edson Buddle, who had a quiet night with a lone assist after coming into the day with a league-leading nine goals.
Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid said it was his team's worst game in its two years of existence.
The habitual pain of missed scoring chances and untimely defensive errors, however, was all too familiar.
"We make mistakes and we suffer for them," Ljungberg said. "That's just the way it is at the moment."
The first misstep surprisingly came at a time Seattle was controlling the run of play. Despite playing the first 20 minutes primarily on L.A.'s side of the field, the Galaxy took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute on a 20-yard shot by Jovan Kirovski that glanced off the gloves of goalkeeper Kasey Keller, who was in position to make the save.
"Unfortunately I made a mistake, put the team a goal down and we didn't recover from it," Keller said. "It's one of the fun parts about goalkeeping. Some days you just have to hold your hand up and say, 'Sorry about that.' And that's what today was for me."
L.A. extended its 1-0 halftime lead quickly after the break on two set pieces from Donovan. In the 52nd minute, he found the head of 6-foot-5 defender Omar Gonzalez for a goal on a corner kick.
Five minutes later, Donovan earned his league-leading ninth assist when he sent a bouncing free-kick to Todd Dunivant, who dove to head in the cross for a 3-0 lead.
"The third goal is inexcusable," Schmid said. "Two guys (Peter Vagenas and James Riley) let the ball skip past them. That's inexcusable. You can't have that. Everybody's looking at the other guy hoping that they do the job for them."
Donovan tacked on the final goal in the 67th minute, hammering in a cross from Buddle on the right wing.
The unqualified defeat had Schmid saying that starting jobs in Seattle's lineup could be on the line. Most of the players had already received the wake-up call, however, at the hands of the Galaxy.
"We let the fans down, we let ourselves down — everybody," Keller said.
"Hopefully we can get better from it."
• Sounders FC midfielder Osvaldo Alonso left the game in the 37th minute after straining his right quadriceps. The Cuban, who had played every minute this season, was replaced by Nathan Sturgis.
• Young Colombian Miguel Montano made his Seattle debut in the 57th minute and was a lone bright spot for the home team.

Calabi-Yau three-folds and moduli of abelian surfaces II
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We give explicit descriptions of the moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with polarizations of type , for and . More precisely, in each case we show that a certain choice of moduli space of such abelian surfaces with a partial level structure can be described explicitly and is unirational, and in some cases rational. These moduli spaces with partial level structure are covers of the ordinary moduli spaces, so the Kodaira dimension of the ordinary moduli spaces in these cases is . In addition, we give a few new examples of Calabi-Yau three-folds fibred in abelian surfaces. In the case of , such Calabi-Yau three-folds play a key role in the description of the abelian surfaces.

In a letter to the Seattle City Council, the maritime leaders object to the "irreversible momentum" for a Sodo location and say the site is clearly preferred by the city, despite assertions that alternate sites will be evaluated in an environmental review.
A group of maritime-business leaders and the Seattle Mariners renewed their objections to a proposed sports arena in Sodo on Wednesday, a day after city leaders revealed a revised agreement they say addresses those concerns.
"We thought they were doing what we requested, but the MOU (memorandum of understanding) doesn't match that," said Jordan Royer, vice president with the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association.
In a letter to the Seattle City Council, the maritime leaders object to the "irreversible momentum" for a Sodo location and say the site is clearly preferred by the city, despite assertions that alternative sites will be evaluated in an environmental review.
Investor Chris Hansen, a San Francisco hedge-fund manager who grew up in Seattle, has spent $51 million on land in Sodo and has said he's not interested in building at a different site.

The letter is signed by representatives of the Seattle Mariners, the Manufacturing Industrial Council, environmental attorney Peter Goldman and Royer's group.
A revised MOU with Hansen to build a new $490 million arena was released Tuesday by Seattle City Council members who had helped revise the deal, presented in February by Mayor Mike McGinn and King County Executive Dow Constantine.
The new agreement created a $40 million transportation fund to address freight mobility in Sodo, one of the main objections of the Port of Seattle and maritime businesses.
The agreement also said final approval of a site wouldn't be given until a detailed environmental-impact statement was completed and alternative sites evaluated.
The review, expected to take about a year, also would determine the arena's impact on Port of Seattle business and require Hansen to address those.
But in their letter, the Sodo representatives say the revised agreement "clearly preselects a location and only pays lip service" to a state environmental review.
Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who helped negotiate the revised agreement, said he disagreed with the letter's analysis.
"To enter into a SEPA (State Environmental Protection Act) process, you have to have a project in mind," O'Brien said.
He added that council members want to see in-depth analyses of a variety of sites, including KeyArena.
In a meeting with The Seattle Times editorial board Tuesday to explain the revised agreement, Burgess was asked about the Mariners' opposition to the Sodo location for a new arena.
"I'm not holding my breath that they'll suddenly embrace competition next door," Burgess said.
The council's Government Performance and Finance Committee will vote on the revised agreement at 2 p.m. Thursday, likely sending it to the full council for ratification, possibly on Sept. 24.
In their letter, the Sodo opponents asked the council to allow more time for public review and possible amendments to the agreement.

Observations on Beau Brummell" (1845)
Barbey D'Aurevilly writes about Beau Brummell, the most important dandy of the nineteenth century, with a complete awareness of Brummell's "mythical" status. The factual details of the real Beau Brummell are irrelevant; all that matters is the legend built around the figure. D'Aurevilly's essay reveals a profound appreciation of how important the manipulation of appearances can be. Surface matters most to the career of a dandy, and as D'Aurevilly declares, Brummell was the master who set the standard for the rest of the century: "His entire life was an influence."
For all his pithy formulations, D'Aurevilly understands the dialectics of social control. For all the influence Brummell exercised on elite English society, he was at the same time a strict conformist. He set the standard for modern masculine attire by insisting that the elegant man remain inconspicuous at all times. To stand out, one must blend in. Brummell practiced this rule to perfection until his final insult to the Prince of Wales, which quickly resulted in Brummell's bankruptcy and exile. At the height of his fame, Brummell could adhere to the codes of convention while setting new standards that everyone else scrambled to imitate. This paradox of conformity and control at the very center of fashionable society reminds one of Norbert Elias's claim that Louis XIV was the most strictly regulated person at Versailles even though he set the standards his court was forced to follow.
The parallels between the ostentatious king and the understated dandy show how fashion, even in its subdued modern forms, retains a calculated showiness inherited from the baroque court.
