TSMC sees revenues surge by 25 percent due to 28nm demand
Leading edge technology drives healthy profits
CHIP FOUNDRY TSMC has seen its revenues surge by 25 percent to $4.5bn as demand for its leading edge 28nm process node continues unabated.
TSMC - foundry to some of the largest chip vendors including AMD, Nvidia and Qualcomm - reported bumper first quarter 2013 results. The firm saw revenues grow by 25 percent from the same period last year to $4.5bn, while profits rose by 18.4 percent to $1.3bn.
With TSMC expected to bring new process nodes on line as its customers demand ever smaller geometries for power savings, the firm said its 28nm process node was one of the reasons it exceeded revenue forecasts. Last year chip designers such as Apple and Qualcomm were falling over each other trying to secure production capacity at TSMC, such is the Taiwanese firm's lead over its rivals.
However TSMC CEO Morris Chang said his biggest challenge was to keep the fabs that are not producing chips on the leading edge process node running at full capacity. He said, "Keeping the mainstream fabs full is almost as important as advancing the leading edge. [...] Why do I talk about speciality [leading edge process nodes] technology? It helps the mainstream fabs stay full, hopefully."
TSMC also talked about its upcoming 20nm process node, with AMD already having said that it is waiting for the firm's next generation process node.
Even though Chang said keeping mainstream fabs - those that fab chips using larger geometries - is a challenge, it is unlikely that the firm will have much spare capacity at 28nm, given the number and size of its customers eager to use what is now a mature process node. µ

By Aaron J. Moore, MSN, RN-BC, travel nurse expert
I get many questions about what to look forward to when it comes to the housing provided by most travel nurse companies. It can vary from location to location and you always want to double-check; don't assume too much based on past assignments or what other travelers may tell you.
But if you choose the company-paid housing over the housing stipend, there are some basics that you can expect to find in your new digs. Other things may be negotiable.
Where your housing might be
Many travel companies have staff members whose only job is to locate and contract housing for travelers. Depending on your assignment location and your agency, there may be multiple places to choose from or just one.
Some locations seem to cater to travel nurses, like the apartment I had in San Diego, Calif., when it seemed like every traveler lived in the complex I did. I actually liked it because you got to know people quickly and could carpool to work.
Generally a travel nurse company will put its workers within a reasonable driving distance from work. However, this can be anywhere from right down the street to a 30-minute drive in traffic, so make sure your agency knows your preferences and how you plan on commuting. If you are planning on public transportation, for instance, make sure they don't house you out in the suburbs. If you let them know in advance they can work with you to accommodate your needs.
When I traveled to New York I passed on the car allowance to be housed in the city instead of the suburbs. It was well worth it and in reality most people use public transit there. Public transit can be your friend in a new city.
What your lodging will likely include
Most travel nurse accommodations are private apartments with a single bedroom, or they might be a studio or loft-style housing in some areas. A few companies may ask you if you would like to share a two-bedroom unit with a roommate, but this should be negotiable. If you plan to bring along family or friends, you can also ask about larger accommodations that may be available at additional costs.
Agencies generally advertise that their housing is "furnished," but make sure you know what that includes. In every apartment (or hotel) I stayed in I was provided with some basic furnishings and household items. I always had:
- A bed and dresser with drawers
- A couch and chair and some side tables
- I usually had a kitchen table and chairs, too, depending on the size of the apartment.
Some of my places came with your basic kitchen attire (pots, pans, and serving apparatus for four). But I learned to bring my own cooking stuff and then buy plates at the local thrift store and re-donate them before I left. If plates and such were there when I moved into my new place, I considered it a bonus! You normally need to bring your own bed and bath linens, as well.
If you are not sure what to expect, always check with your recruiter or housing representative. And don't forget to ask about things like:
- Pets – many apartments allow them but some don't, so make sure your agency knows upfront if you are bringing a pet with you
- Parking and storage
- Recreation facilities (some complexes have pools, gyms and more)
- Laundry facilities
- Nearby services, public transit, etc.

Harry Styles To Become A Ballerina? One Direction Star Wants To Take Up Ballet!
Well, THAT'S something we didn't expect to be writing about today.
Yep, it really is true, our very own Hazza is thinking of taking up dancing – ballet dancing at that.
Apparently, he's after being just like Mick Jagger, and hopes to emulate his dance moves.
I mean, we don't mind because you know, he looks pretty damn hot in a tutu 😉
An insider has revealed that he's spoken to Jaggers' personal trainer Torje Eike about taking it up.
The insider said: "Harry wants a career spanning decades like Mick's and to have that he recognises that fitness, health and developing his body is the key.
"He spoke to Torje about Jagger's intense routine of kick-boxing, running, weights and, most importantly, ballet.
"That's the Achilles' heel in Harry's training. He can't dance and neither can any of the 1D boys – their choreographer recognised early on that they shouldn't dance on stage."
Soooooo why would Hazza want to be prancing around in a leotard then? Now, that's a question.
We all know that 1D are under an intense fitness regime at the moment, to be in the best shape possible for their tour.
And that's where this has all come from. The boys have been getting into shape with personal trainer Mark Jarvis, and Jarvis's boss Ramzy Khachik suggested ballet.
He thinks it would be a good way for the boys to channel their energy into something that will make them hard workers, and help keep them fit.
He said: "Nobody works harder than ballet dancers. It's all about grace, stance and strength.
"Harry sees how supple Mick is, how he manages to stretch his body and do contortions.
"It's a brilliant art form and will get more grace into his movements – if you're graceful you can get away with minimalistic moves, which is what their choreography is about."
Who knows, next time you see 1D in concert, they might be floating around in pink tutus and ballet shoes.
Yeah, we doubt it too. But, who knows maybe we could have the next Billy Elliot on our hands?
What do you think about Harry taking up ballet? Yay or Nay?

G7530 - 40, the double-mastaba of Meresankh III
and its rock-cut chapel, G7530sub
We greatly thank Christian Mariais and Christiane Hachet, without whose help these pages would not exist.
Whilst the pyramids and the sphinx are by far the best known monuments at Giza, the area also shelters an enormous private necropolis, a real town, consisting of mastabas or rupestral tombs belonging to dignitaries of the IVth dynasty. Alas, very few are open to visitors, but in March, 2012, the SCA (Supreme Council of Antiquities) announced that the tomb of Meresankh III, closed until now, was safe to have special authorisation, and to be opened to the public. The tomb is in the eastern cemetery, and presents
considerable historic and artistic interest
, and as such it is one of the best preserved of the site.
Grand-daughter of Kheops (aka. Khufu, about 2600-2555 BC), wife of Khephren (aka. Khafre, about 2548-2522), the queen's burial illustrates the importance of the royal sons and daughters in Egypt of the IVth Dynasty
, a period at the peak of the Old Kingdom, which saw the craftsmanship of sculpture and painting reaching an extreme sophistication.
The cultural evolution of the state and society was greatly inspired by the ascent of the creative solar god Re, who, from that time, would occupy a major place in religion, ethics and the idea of the state in Pharaonic Egypt. The first appearance in the royal titles of name
"son of Re"
in reference to the sons of Kheops.
) strictly prioritised, as was the court. These cemeteries would function until the end of the Old Kingdom.
It was about creating a
city for the living ka
, reproducing the royal setting in the beyond. The king's ka, whilst leaving his pyramid, was thus able to meet the kas of his parents, family and servants, as he did when alive.
The western cemetery:
used since the first part of the reign of Kheops, it was intended for senior officials.
The eastern cemetery:
its occupation started late in the reign of Kheops, in the form of mastabas or rupestrian tombs. It was essentially intended for members of the royal family, as well as for very high dignitaries (these were often the same at this time period). Closer to the pyramid, can be found eight large double mastabas for the children of Kheops.
Very well ordered ("by level"), this cemetery was extended further, to the south (GIS south).
Since Reisner, the tombs belonging to these cemeteries carry a number of four digits preceded by the letter G, the first digit indicating the row.
The men working on the construction sites of the pyramids and in these mastaba areas of the IVth Dynasty were settled to the south of a massive wall (called "the wall of the ravens") which separated them from the royal necropolis; they had their own cemetery, different from that of the nobles.
"the Living One loves her"
, nevertheless, the name version of Meresankh,
"she loves life"
, is retained practically everywhere.
Her father was prince Kawab
, eldest son of Kheops by the queen Merytytes I, to whom the mastabas G7110+20 was assigned.
Her mother was Hetepheres II
, a daughter of Kheops, who therefore married her biological brother. Four children of the couple are known: Duaenhor, Kaemsekhem, Mindjedef and our Meresankh. Kawab should have followed Kheops, but he died before him.
Hetepheres II became queen by getting remarried to her stepbrother Djedefre
, who succeeded to the throne on the death of Kheops. After only eight years of reign, he died without an heir, and the power passed to another son of Kheops, Kephren. The transmission of power seemed to be made without any problem.
Hetepheres II had to have been a very important person, to whom her daughter probably owed everything, as found without doubt in the chapel of this daughter.
Meresankh III married her uncle Kephren
, biologic brother of her father, Kawab, of whom she later had several children: a daughter named: Shepsetkau and four sons named: Nebemakhet, Duaenre, Niuserre and Khenterka; some are named in the chapel. The heir to the throne isn't represented there and, therefore, it is difficult to explain why
major privileges
were granted to her. For example, only the royal wives are represented seated on a chair where a lion is engraved, a royal prerogative. She would proclaim herself as "daughter of the king, of his body, wife of the king" (see
); the precision "of his body" indicates a biologic filiation, whereas the title "daughter of the king" can rarely be only honorary. It is likely that Meresankh III had, at one time or another, played a role in the transmission of power, but which one is uncertain.
"On the very last day of the season, the gangs were clearing the eastern face of the third mastaba in the fifth row from the west, when a doorway was unexpectedly revealed in the rock under the eastern wall of this mastaba. Later we found that two stairways led down from the floor of the street to the level of the doorway, which was about two meters below. Above the doorway were inscribed the titles of a princess and queen named Meresankh. As soon as the debris in the doorway was photographed we cleared away enough of the sand at the top to crawl in; and getting our heads, one at a time, just inside the doorway, we saw a rock-cut offering chapel consisting of three rooms. The entrance to the main room was blocked by a cone of sand and stone, on the top of which we were lying (see
). Our eyes were first startled by the vivid colours of the reliefs and inscriptions around the northern part of this large chamber. None of us had ever seen anything like it."
This is in the seventh row of the eastern cemetery and is composed of a surface mastaba, a stone built chapel and a funerary chamber (see
Dunham_plan B
). The graffiti of masons indicates that the chapel was created in the 13th year of the king who is not named, but who can only be Kephren. The surface mastaba, necessarily previous, probably dates from year 1 to 5 of the same sovereign (Reisner).
1)- Initially, this represents a double mastaba, G7530 + 40
It was probably destined for Hetepheres II and was built during the reign of Khephren. It is adjoined to G7520, which it extends southwards, seeming to form a single unit. It is currently greatly damaged (lateral side view is opposite; for the view from above see
). This surface mastaba measures 47.50m north-south and 16.88m east-west and doesn't include a funeral shaft.
On its face, a chapel in blocks of thin limestone measuring 4.75 x 1.50m was arranged in the masonry of surface; it includes, west side, a deep niche decorated as in a palace facade.
Dunham and Simpsons also speak of an outside chapel in stones, incomplete, beginning flush with the southeast corner of the mastaba and extending northward for a minimum of 14.75m. and a width of 3.80m. The explanations and the plan which they produced are however confusing, and it is somewhat impossible to understand the basic idea which they wanted to describe, unless the monument has since been destroyed or moved.
2) - Secondly, the rock-cut chapel, G7530sub, was excavated and decorated under its northern part by Hetepheres II, for her daughter Meresankh III, who died before her.
This information is known by the addition of an inscription to the existing decoration and inscriptions on the sarcophagus, which stipulate that this was given by her mother, Hetepheres II. Hetepheres never used this complex, and Reisner thinks that she was buried in mastaba G7350.
Two stairways had been dug in the street separating the mastaba of Meresankh from G7650, one to the north, the other to the south, leading under the first part of the construction, into the base rock.
3)- This subterranean chapel is interesting in many respects
This was used at the time of the queen's burial - and probably afterwards, because it remained accessible for a long time - to place offerings as well as for various ceremonies, notably
the ritual of 'Opening of the Mouth', which appeared about this time. Originally, the aim was to enliven a royal or divine statue.
It would be practiced on everything which could receive a divine presence and would be used also for the deceased. In the Old Kingdom, the ritual was performed on the deceased's statuaries and not directly on the mummy in his coffin, as would be the case in the New Kingdom. This possibly explains the profusion of statuary in the chapel.
• This chapel is one of the better preserved, and certainly one of the most beautiful of the necropolis of Giza. The technical creation and the talent of the sculptors and painters show a high degree of mastery and, very rare,
two of the craftsmen are named in the monument.
• Its positioning in relation to the overlying mastaba is unique. Usually, the chapels are on the same level as the actual mastaba, either on its external face, or included in the masonry.
• There are sixteen statues built into the walls, an unusual number. Among these, ten women's statues of the north wall reveal the importance granted to the women of the royal family.
• The iconographic program of the chapel inspired the following generations. Some scenes would indeed become classics and would appear well placed in the decorative programs of many funerary Egyptian monuments, until the Ptolemaic period.
It is the actual chapel (G7530sub), with its three chambers and funerary chamber, which will be fully described in the following pages.
The chapel neighbourhood
south view, and
north view). It is reached by the steps leading down from the south and north. The well-preserved south staircase includes five slightly sloping steps (see
). The north staircase extends from a higher level and includes about twenty steps (see
At the southern extremity of this courtyard (see
) still exists part of an oblong compartment, maybe a serdab having contained the beautiful statuette of Hetepheres and Meresankh (more details of this can be found on page 4).
At the north extremity is a quite small room forming an appendix. The end wall is created as a false door (see
Flanking the entry facade and doorway of the chapel are two monolithic upright limestone pillars, which extend forwards from the upright surface of the main outer wall. These were created in order to support an architrave, which is now extinct. These pillars, as well as the now lost lintel, which surrounded the main doorway (slightly inset), are the only elements of the chapel to have not been carved directly in the rock.
A protective stone awning currently overhangs the entry, occupying the place of the extinct architrave. It is therefore impossible to photograph properly the inscriptions of the facade, and it is necessary to refer to the image of Reisner (see
The facade
.) This presents a well marked, very visible profile. In a very unaccustomed manner, the inscriptions on both sides of the entry provide only the dates of the death and funeral of Meresankh.
1) - The uprights
North side (on the right)
"Daughter of the king, Meresankh, year 1, 1st of Shemu
(i.e. 1st day of the summer season)
, day 21, going to rest with her ka, going to purification"
The queen has therefore died, and has been transported into the building of embalming.
South side (on the left)
"Wife of the King, Meresankh, year after 1, 2nd of Peret
(i.e. year 2, 2nd day of the winter season)
, day 18, her arrival at her beautiful tomb"
The time period between the date of her death and that of the burial is thus 273 or 274 days, clearly more than the supposed seventy days traditionally dedicated to mummification. A mystery also exists: Reisner places these dates in years 1 and 2 of the reign of Shepseskaf (the last sovereign of the IVth Dynasty, approx. 2503 - 2498), whilst Derry based the period presumed from the skeleton, thinks that the king in question was Mykerinos (father of Shepseskaf). In any case, both are at the end of the IVth Dynasty.
2) - The lintel
cm -131
"The beholder of Horus and Seth, the great favourite of the Two Mistresses
, the follower of Horus, great of favour, the beloved of Thoth and Horus, his companion, daughter of the king, of his body, wife of the king, Meresankh."
The Nebty or the Two Mistresses
relates to the two tutelary goddesses of Lower and Upper Egypt, respectively the goddess Wadjet, with the cobra head, of Buto in the Delta, and the goddess Nekhbet, with the vulture head, of Nekheb (el Kab). It is therefore about paying homage to the one who unifies the two lands under his authority.
The myth of Horus and Seth to the IVth Dynasty
Seth of Nubet (or Seth the ombite, Seth the former)
The god Seth, who is mentioned here, is Seth of Nubet (Ombos, Nagada) who possessed a specific sanctuary (
, the name of the oldest national shrine of Upper Egypt) in the Vth nome of Upper Egypt, and not Seth the Heliopolitain, brother and assassin of Osiris. He is associated with the red crown. In the predynastic period, the city of Nubet and that of Nekhen (Hierakonpolis), whose god was Horus (the former), played a major economic and political role. Their confrontation and the annexation (real or not) with kingdom of Nubet with the one of Nekhen became a founding myth, which would also serve to evoke the annexation of the Delta by Upper Egypt, the white crown swallowing the red crown (Pyramid Texts 243a and 410a). Subordinate to Horus, Seth formed with him an "appeased" and "pacified" couple, and one would see, for example, Unas (last king of the Vth Dynasty) being crowned by Horus and Seth, or, in the Middle Kingdom, the two gods uniting the plants of Upper and Lower Egypt in the sema-tawy symbol, formed from lilies of Upper and papyrus of Lower (see
), decorating the throne of Sesostris I. The divine couple is hierarchised and can be designated as Horus and Seth, where, following Mariette, Weill, Barguet... like an entity, "Horus and Seth", representing the monarchic authority itself.
Later, the Pharaohs would integrate this Sethiene dimension in their titulature, with the name 'Horus of Gold', the distant embodiment of Horus of Nubet (
means 'The Two Lords (Horus and Seth)').
This Thinite myth of Seth the former must be distinguished from the one of the murderous Seth who killed his brother Osiris, because he is much later, appearing in the Vth Dynasty, at the same time as the Osirian dogma.
MATHIEU Bernard : "Seth polymorphe : le rival, le vaincu, l'auxiliaire, ENIM 4, p. 137-158, 2011.
Translated here into English by J.J.Hirst with minor changes and additions.
The title "The one who sees Horus-Seth", or "Horus and Seth" is regularly carried by the queens of the IVth to VIth Dynasty
, who thus considered their spouse as the one who unites and reconcile the antagonists in the Two Lands. As is the case here, this title is associated most of the time to a Horian reference, to mark the predominance of Horus over Seth.
As Gauthier summarised it:
"To see the king, meant to be admitted, without witness, to contemplate his beauty and to adore his divinity in intimacy, which was a unique privilege, reserved to only the wife of the Pharaoh-god, to the queen".
The entrance
Its length is about 1.65m and its width, initially 0.85m, enlarging after the drum to 1.30m to include the wooden access door.
1) - The drum over the doorway
It should be remembered that this supposed to represent a rolled up curtain, which served to close the openings into the houses of the living. The text says:
"The one who sees Horus and Seth, the great favourite, the royal wife, Meresankh"
2) - North door jamb
Situated on the right on entry, the panel is divided in two parts: Anubis at the top and the queen below, with both of them facing east, out of the mastaba. Because of the nature of the rock, it was plastered, and the actual decor incised into plaster.
a) - Anubis
He is represented in the form of a reclining canine, with his tail descending behind the image of Meresankh. Around his neck he wears a piece of cloth as a scarf. He is accompanied above and below by the following text:
"An offering which the king gives, and Anubis, foremost of the divine booth, to a spirit who is noble in sight of the great god, lord of the desert"
. This last epithet designates Anubis himself.
b) - The queen
"The beholder of Horus and Seth, daughter of the king, greatly praised, wife of the king, Meresankh"
. She wears a large tripartite wig and a tight-fitting dress with supporting straps, but no jewelry. Her right hand hangs down her side, whilst the left is held across her chest.
In front of her, the
"funerary priest, Rery"
pushes a hyena (see
). It is perplexing to think of the use that the Egyptians made of this smelly animal, because it is difficult to think that they may have even eaten some of it. Beneath, a man pulls a male oryx (see
Behind the image of the queen are two women, one above the other. The upper one holds a chest on her head. The other approaches holding in one hand a large fan or sunshade, which also rests on her shoulder, and in the other she holds a smaller fan (see
3) - South door jamb
This is similarly sub-divided to the other facing wall. Again Meresankh faces out of the mastaba, to the east.
a) - Anubis
He is represented identical to his other image (see
). He is accompanied by the text:
"An offering which the king gives, and Anubis, he who is in the west, the Lord of the Sacred Land
= the necropolis)
, to the spirit who is noble in the sight of the great god, lord of the Sacred Land."
b) - The queen
"The beholder of Horus and Seth, the great favourite, the companion of Horus, beloved of him, the follower of Horus, wife of the king, daughter of the king, Mersyankh"
• Behind her stands a woman holding in one hand a bird, and with the the other she balances a chest on her head. Beneath her, a second woman advances, also balancing a chest with one hand, but this time on her shoulder, and in the other hand she holds a strangely shaped fan.
• In front of her stands an official character (see
), identified by the column of text behind him as:
"The royal purification priest, honoured before his Lord, Khemet[nu]"
. He is clothed in a loincloth and a short wig; he holds in front of him an unscrolled papyrus (more probable than a board, in spite of the rigidity of the representation). The text in front of him states:
"Presenting the document of the funerary-priest for inspection, by the overseer of funerary priests, Khemetnu"
. This represents one of the first known scenes of this type. In the rare cases where the papyrus is detailed, is usually found an invocatory offering list, a list of reverted offerings, of perfumes, of the service records of the funeral priests, a funeral domain induction, a census of livestock, etc.
Thus, from the entry, the visitor, the officiating priest and the deceased queen can be assured that the funerary service was, is and will continue to be eternally given.

Sasheer Zamata made her debut on "Saturday Night Live" on Jan. 18.
According to the NY Daily News on Jan. 19, this mid-season hiring of the first black female cast member since 2007 came shortly after criticism that there were no black female cast members. This prompted producers of "SNL" to hire a black female.
Not only did "SNL" hire a black female cast member, but it also hired two black female writers.
Many tuned in to see the performance of the 27-year-old comedian from Indianapolis; however, her performance was extremely low keyed on purpose for the first show.
She did not perform alone, so it was really hard to tell what's she is all about right now. She appeared in three short sketches.
In the first sketch she came to a bar mitzvah. Interestingly, the black female's first words in her new gig were "Mazel Tov." (For those who don't know, those are Jewish words for "Good Luck" or "Congratulations).
She appeared as songstress Rihanna and as a girl hosting a pajama party.
Zamata is a graduate of the University of Virginia and has been a performer with the Upright Citizens Brigade, two institutions that helped propel Tina Fey to great success.
Hopefully, we will see more from Zamata on next week's "Saturday Night Live."

It doesn't get more Gestapoesque than this. ABC News affiliate KXTV has the story of a Sacramento mother who was visited by the police and served with a notice informing her that she would not be permitted onto school property for a period of 14 days. [News video here]
What had Katherine O'Neal Duran done to become persona non grata at Mark Twain Elementary School? Had she spit in the principal's coffee? No, but she did something in the view of the administrators that was just as heinous. She had printed out and distributed forms to parents, which, by affixing their signature, would exempt their children from having to take the Common Core tests in math and English.
Questions arise, not least among them whether a school has legal standing to ban a parent because she disagrees with their teaching methodology. School officials don't even seem that sure of why Duran was banished in the first place. Gabe Ross, a spokesman for the Sacramento Unified School District, told reporters:
It appears she went a little too far with regards to how she distributed information at school sites, distributing information to children directly.
But when Ross was confronted with the reality that Duran never even set foot on school grounds, instead having her son Christopher hand out the forms to classmates, he relented.
When it comes down to cases, the school district has no justification for blocking the First Amendment right of a student expressing his views by distributing a handout to fellow students, so long as he is not disrupting school activities. Yet that is precisely what administrators did when they confiscated the forms from Christopher.
"I think it's an effort to undermine the anti-Common Core movement," Katherine Duran says.
It sure appears as though she has a point.

The Nature of the Research
The research is based on attendance at conferences, and committee meetings, site visits, recorded and unrecorded informal discussions, recorded and unrecorded interviews, telephone calls, email exchanges, and examination of archives (eg, at Smithsonian and NSF).
Methodological relativism is a principle of the research. This means that, as a sociologist, I avoid making judgments about those matters of science which are the subject of social analysis. My working assumption is that everyone - right or wrong - is nearly always acting rationally. (For example, even though almost everyone considers that Weber's 1984ff theory of cross-sections is wrong, I try discuss its reception in ways that are neutral in respect of its scientific value.)
This approach does not reflect the way scientists think about their work, nor the way I think about the work of my fellow social scientists.
I am grateful to the many scientists who have read and commented on drafts of papers, whether they were directly involved or not, and to the many other respondents for helpful feedback on the papers that discuss their work. I am, of course, deeply indebted to the gravitational wave community as a whole for allowing me to share in this great scientific adventure.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Is Kathryn C. Dennis pregnant with Thomas Ravenel's baby, who is Kathryn's baby daddy on Southern Charm, and is Kathryn's baby Shep's or T-Rav's? Bravo's Maury Povich-ized reality show Southern Charm is set to reveal who is the father of Kathryn C. Dennis's baby. That is, if she is even pregnant. By most accounts online, the father of the baby might be Thomas Ravenel. In fact, someone is now selling T-Rav baby clothing online since the series debuted.
For now, Kathryn C. Dennis and Thomas Ravenel are still dating and together 2014, claims a series of reports. Filming for the show was shot in 2013. As of late last year, the apparent couple were still together, posting affectionate pictures of one another on social media. Shep was nowhere to be found. She wrote "grilling burgers with my baby." She added "warming out tootsies by the fire", suggesting that the other pair of feet in the picture was Ravenel's.
Kathryn later on Instagram wrote "my muffin won the Aiken Four goal today". That prompted one fan to react "I hate to sound all fan girl, you are gorgeous and you guys make a beautiful couple". Over Christmas he gave her a Gucci gift.
But the two are still together, apparently. Just days ago, on Twitter, she affectionately accepted a fan's suggestion that the couple should be called "TomKat". Tonight's telecast is set to reveal if Kathryn is even pregnant in the first place, or if this is another faux twist. But don't expect the storyline to end just tonight.
Recently Thomas told news that allegedly Bravo didn't want the show without him. He modestly told news that Bravo "said they wouldn't have a show without me; I was the only Charlestonian in it." He also claims that other people began filming the series only to drop out, a problem that first plagued Shahs of Sunset as well. UPDATE 7:52 PM PST: Southern Charm just revealed Kathryn is NOT pregnant.

AUSTIN, Texas -Texas rallied for a three-set win at No. 2 singles on Sunday evening at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center to give the 13th-ranked Longhorns (7-1, 4-0 Big 12 Conference) a 4-3 victory over eighth-ranked UCLA (6-4).
Katie Ruckert, who is a perfect 7-0 in dual matches and 15-3 overall, topped Feriel Esseghir, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 to give the Longhorns the win.
Down 1-0 after the doubles point, Texas turned the tide in their favor with straight-set wins at the top and bottom of the singles lineup. Freshman Ristine Olson (Missoula, Mont.) has been a dominant fixture at the No. 6 position for Texas as she improved to 6-1 in dual matches on the year with a 6-2, 6-2 decision over Nina Yaftali. Classmate Petra Dizdar (Split, Croatia), ranked No. 18 in the nation, followed shortly after with a 6-4, 6-1 decision over 13th-ranked Jackie Carleton at the top spot.
After taking a 2-1 lead, the final four matches all went to a third set. From that point on the Bruins and Longhorns exchanged wins to set up the decisive match at No. 2 singles. Lauren Fisher of UCLA defeated sophomore Kelly Baritot (Allison Park, Pa.) at No. 4, 0-6, 6-4, 6-4 before UT retook the lead when sophomore Mia Marovic upended Laura Gordon at No. 5, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
Down 3-2, UCLA immediately countered with a victory at No. 3 singles when Sarah Gregg rallied for a 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 decision over sophomore Kendra Strohm (Tucson, Ariz.). Strohm, the 2003 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, staid in her match until the very end, finally having her serve broke at 4-4 in the third. The win for UCLA evened the score at 3-3.
The Bruins gained the upper hand early by winning the doubles point with victories at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. Yaftali and Gregg were on the board first after knocking off Olson and Baritot, 8-4, at the third slot. Fisher and Gordon then clinched the point when they topped Dizdar and Marovic as the No. 2 position by an 8-4 score as well. Although the doubles point was already determined, Ruckert and Strohm finished out their match at the top spot and posted an 8-5 win over Carleton and Esseghir.
UCLA returns home next week to face cross-town rival USC at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on Wednesday beginning at 1:30 p.m.

In the past few years, researchers have been working to discover how to prevent memory loss and other types of mental decline as we age. The good news: While genetics and aging (especially reaching 70 and beyond) can take a toll on your mental quickness, changing how you eat, exercise and spend your free time can slow down and possibly reverse damage to your brain. Here are six ways to boost your brain's staying power.
Eat fish regularly
Brains normally shrink as we age, mostly after 60. But a University of Pittsburgh study found that consuming fish can slow that process: Over 10 years, people who ate baked or broiled (but not fried) fish at least once a week had less brain-volume shrinkage in key areas related to dementia compared with those who consumed less fish. The fish eaters also showed a reduced risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI, a possible precursor to dementia) or Alzheimer's.
What's the link between fish and mental muscle? Probably omega-3 fatty acids, which are commonly found in fatty fish such as tuna and salmon. Research reported in the February issue of Neurology noted that having low blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with more brain shrinkage. "People with lower blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids had reduced brain volumes that were equivalent to about two years of structural brain aging," says study author Zaldy S. Tan, MD, a member of UCLA's Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research. This aging in turn translates to poorer performance on tests for visual memory, abstract reasoning and multitasking.
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), have been linked in research to better brain health because they reduce inflammation in the body and improve circulation by slowing the growth of plaque in the arteries, among other benefits. While it's not known how much fish translates into adequate blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids, "I always tell people to eat fish, particularly tuna or salmon, several times a week," says Michael Rafii, MD, PhD, director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at the University of California in San Diego.
Find a purpose in life
A study of more than 950 people conducted by researchers at the Rush Memory and Aging Project in Chicago showed that those who said they had a strong sense of purpose in life were almost two and a half times as likely to remain free of Alzheimer's as those who said they didn't. The more purposeful subjects also showed a lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment. Doing what you enjoy is what gives your life some meaning. "This could be as simple as volunteering at an animal shelter or getting involved with a community group or engaging with your kids, family and friends," says lead investigator Patricia Boyle, PhD, a neuropsychologist with the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center. This kind of involvement, she says, prevents you from getting bogged down "with work and the mundane and can help you stay mentally sharp in the long term."
Work up a sweat
If you haven't already started exercising, do it now: A Mayo Clinic study of some 1,300 adults showed that making time for regular, moderate workouts (consisting of exercises like brisk walking, aerobics or swimming) reduced the likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment among people ages 50 to 65 by nearly 40 percent. In a study from the University of Washington in Seattle, women with mild cognitive problems who did a high-intensity workout of 45 to 60 minutes on a treadmill or stationary bike four days a week for six months increased their ability to plan, organize and multitask.
"We hypothesize that aerobic exercise improves the health of blood vessels in the head, which in turn helps move oxygen and other nutrients to the frontal and temporal lobes in the brain, areas that support cognitive abilities," says Laura Baker, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine. If you can't fit that kind of workout into your schedule, don't worry, Baker says. "Focus on increasing the amount of physical activity you complete each day, even if that's just by a small amount."
Step away from the doughnut
Researchers suspect that overeating may be harmful to our brains. A study of the eating habits of over 1,200 older people suggested that consuming more than 2,143 calories a day doubles the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment over the course of 12 months. "Based on previous studies involving humans and experimental animals, I believe that cutting calories may be a simple way to prevent memory loss as we age," says lead author Yonas E. Geda, MD, associate professor of neurology and psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Eat a cup of yogurt a day
A glass of milk will also do the trick. A study that followed 972 Americans ages 23 to 98 for five years found that those who consumed at least one dairy serving (milk, cheese, yogurt or dairy dessert) a day tested higher on mental functioning than those who didn't. The possible connection: "We have learned in recent years that components of dairy—calcium, whey protein, vitamin D and magnesium—may play a role in reducing levels of obesity, diabetes and hypertension, all risk factors for impaired cognitive functioning," says study coauthor Merrill F. Elias, PhD, a psychologist and epidemiologist at the University of Maine in Orono.
Drink up!
You may already know that moderate drinking (generally one alcoholic beverage a day for women) reduces your risk of developing heart disease. Researchers have also found that downing one or two alcoholic drinks a day reduces the risk of dementia by nearly 40 percent among seniors (average age: 79); earlier studies show that moderate drinking also slows cognitive decline among midlifers. And it doesn't seem to matter if your beverage of choice is Cabernet, vodka or beer, says lead investigator Kaycee Sink, MD, who heads Wake Forest University's Memory Assessment Clinic in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "Alcohol increases good cholesterol, or HDL, and it acts as a mild blood thinner by blocking platelets," says Sink. "So if that's good for your heart, it's also probably going to be good for your brain." But beware: Heavy drinking nearly doubled the risk of developing dementia over a six-year follow-up period among the Wake Forest participants who already had MCI.

The PS11 Mini Holographic Patent-Leather Shoulder Bag ($1,990) from Proenza Schouler isn't the kind of bag our regular ol' selves can afford to carry around, but it's exactly the kind of bag our alter egos would sport! Think of it as a Jerrica Benton/Jem situation:... [More]

Inspired by the dough ball movement and the yumminess of Mama Pea's creations, I set out to create a gluten free version. Turns out they didn't stay as dough balls, but made fabulous cookies! Without further ado, I present…
Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butterscotch Cookies.
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup Better 'n Peanut Butter (I'm sure Jiff or Peter Pan would be just fine)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (I didn't have brown)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Combine margarine, peanut butter, both sugars, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum.
- Add both flours. Mix well.
- Add + combine butterscotch and chocolate chips.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Drop batter on cookie sheet by the spoonfuls.
- Bake for approximately ten minutes or until done. Cookies will be flat but will taste oh so good.
Makes approximately 24-28 cookies depending on size.
Step 1. Combine margarine, peanut butter, both sugars, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum.
Step 2. Add both flours.
Step 3. Add both butterscotch and chocolate chips. Combine.
Step 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 5. Drop batter on cookie sheet by the spoonfuls.
What is your favorite type of cookie?

The events took place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, from Jan. 3 to Jan. 5, and featured 500 of the nation's top underclassmen players.
Much like the members of Wing's favorite band, Radiohead, who took an alternative route to music superstardom, redefining themselves a couple of times before finding mainstream triumph, Wing's football career has taken him on an alternative path to success.
The Park City High School receiver, who enjoys learning several different musical instruments when he's not on the football field, also had to redefine himself on the gridiron.
Wing played quarterback for nearly his entire football career, only switching to wide receiver two games into the 2012 season in order to help kick-start the Miners' struggling offense.
While he says he's a "jack of all trades, master of none" when it comes to his music career, he's seemingly mastered the wide receiver position on the field.
Wing finished Park City's 2012 campaign with 10 touchdown catches and more than 700 receiving yards.
As far as where he'll end up playing in college, Wing is still undecided.
"My dream school would be Oregon," he said.
But he wouldn't be opposed to staying closer to home.
"I'd love to stay in Utah and play at the U because I'd have my friends and family around me," he said.
He added that he thinks he'd be comfortable within either of those schools' offensive schemes.
"They both run a form of spread offense and pass a good amount," he said. "Oregon runs the exact same offense I've been running for years."
There will be plenty of recruiters trying to help him make up his mind in the coming months. He's already drawing interest from Division I schools like Utah, Utah State and San Diego State.
For now, though, he's just trying to enjoy the competition and camaraderie at the All-American Bowl.
"The fact that I was invited is really cool," he said. "I credit Charlie Graves from Athletic Republic (an athlete training center) for helping me get to this combine. Now, I'm just trying to get some looks."
The actual game is being played today, after two days of build-up, including combine drills and meetings with recruiters.
"Everyone here is really serious and knows what they're doing," he said from San Antonio. "I've talked to some pretty cool recruiters."
But for now, Wing has some goals he wants to accomplish in high school, including helping the Miners rebound from a 1-9 record last year.
"I want to bring the tradition of winning back to Park City," he said. "Winning has always been very prevalent in Park City. I want to get back to winning Region 10 every year."
He's excited to work with new football coach Mike Shepherd, who coached the Miners from 1997 to 2005 and had a great deal of success.
"What he did in the past is what we need now," Wing said. "I talk to him as much as I can in school and I'm curious to see what happens next year."
But aside from wanting to return to the top of the region, Wing said his 2013 campaign will come down to just one thing.
"I want to have a memorable senior year," he said.

Hi, I need to do a parasite cleanse.
I believe that my current case of acne may be the cause of parasites (waste building up in system) as I was on all kinds of different antibiotics for 10 years, birth control pills, etc which totally have messed with my body as my acne is now worse than it ever was. (I am 28 and have had acne since 12).
In the past 6 months I have totally changed my diet to be extremely healthy - fruits, vegetables and fish, etc., no gluten no dairy no sugars.
I only use gentle natural products on my skin. I don't touch my face at all with my hands or anything else that could contaminate it. I do everything right and still acne persists!
I have come to the conclusion that there must be something else internally wrong with me and am convinced it must be an issue with toxins in my body, possible parasite waste, eating too much raw cookie dough over the years, too, maybe (haha).
I have been doing some research, and wormwood seems to be one of the most common prescribed supplements. Just wondering why it is not included as an ingredient in your parasite cleanse?
Your cleanse seems more like a colon cleanse, is it just as effective as taking wormwood, black walnut, and cloves?

STANFORD, Calif. - Jordan Richards can't help himself. He's just a naturally happy person. Even on Saturdays, when he lines up as Stanford's starting strong safety against some of the best receivers in the country.
"Sometimes I'll get frustrated after games," he said this week, while preparing for Saturday's home game against Washington State. "For the most part, I'm a cup half-full guy."
With good reason. Richards, a 5-foot-11, 208-pound sophomore from Folsom, Calif., shines on and off the field. He received straight A's in high school and was a two-way star in football. Richards was contacted by many schools but applied to only one: Stanford.
"Once I got in, I was all in," said Richards. "Just because of the guys I met and the coaches. The program was winning and the academics are second to none."
Richards played in all 13 games last year in the secondary as a true freshman and received three starts subbing for the injured Delano Howell. His first career start came against USC, and he responded with eight tackles. For the season, he finished with 31 tackles and collected a season-high nine stops against Washington.
This year, Richards has started every game and ranks second on the team in total tackles with 37. He ranks 18th nationally in passes defended at 1.43 per game and has two interceptions. SI.com named him a Midseason All-America Second Team selection.
"He's becoming a complete safety," said David Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football. "Once you trust your ability, you can be aggressive and anticipate. You have to have a voice and command, and he does have that."
Richards calls most of the defensive signals in the secondary. Being a year older, he said, has made a world of difference for him on the field.
"I've played a lot faster this year because I know what I'm doing out there," he said. "It's like night and day. The game has slowed down so much."
Don't be fooled by his infectious smile. Richards is a fearless, physical player who has a knack for being around the football. Earlier this month, he was involved in 11 tackles in the wild overtime win against Arizona. He recorded his first career interception against Duke, and pilfered another against USC, as the secondary held Trojan quarterback Matt Barkley without a passing touchdown.
His biggest rush on the field so far?
"When we can dominate an offense, like we did with Cal," said Richards.
He has a friendly competition with starting free safety Ed Reynolds, who has a team-leading three interceptions. Richards would also like to return one the distance.
Growing up, Richards admired NFL safety Ed Richards, who played 10 years with the New England Patriots and New York Giants.
"He always found a way of getting to the ball," he said. "He just made plays." So does Richards. He figures to have a busy afternoon against the pass-happy Cougars, who have two outstanding receivers in Marquess Wilson and Isiah Myers, who have combined for 75 catches and nine touchdowns.
"We know he's (Wilson) another really talented player and we have to contain him," said Richards. "We held (Cal's) Keenan Allen to four catches. We have one of the best front-sevens in the country and know people will come at us. We welcome the challenge."
Richards said the defense enters every game with same mindset.
"If they don't score, they don't win," he said.
While quarterback Andrew Luck often carried the Cardinal last year, Richards said the defense is trying to return the favor in 2012.
"It's our chance to put our signature on the team," said Richards.
Richards hasn't declared a major yet, but already has a pretty good idea what he wants to do with his life. He's leaning toward public policy or sociology.
"I wouldn't say I'm a brilliant person, but I push harder than a lot of people," he said. "I've had so many great class experiences with all of my professors. I want to do something with minority education. I want to make an impact."
He already has with the Stanford football team.

I haven't written anything about the markets in a very long time due to the experience in extreme boredom that they have become as of late. The election came and went and now that we are just ahead of the Holiday Season the apathy has hit monumental proportions. More significantly, what was the point of doing anything ahead of today's Fed meeting? There wasn't any and so nobody did.
Now that the announcement is out, I think in retrospect today will turn out to be a meaningful turning point. Not so much because of what they said, but because of where certain markets are and because of what they didn't say. Let's start with the latter point.
From the statement, we found out that the Fed is set to launch an unsterilized buying program of $85 billion per month ($40 billion in mortgage backed securities and $45 billion in treasuries). This part was widely flagged already. The more interesting part is the language in the text discussing how the Fed will essentially link their low rates to unemployment, with 6.5% being the threshold.
This is all within a text that attempts to portray a very benign and healthy economy, one described as having an improving labor market, a housing recovery and anchored inflation expectations. Sounds pretty good to me; so then why accelerate the aggressiveness of their radical money printing policy?
The answer is that the Fed realizes its policies haven't worked and are convinced they need to do more and more to prove an academic point that man is indeed more powerful than nature. At first, they said a stock market rally would set a fire under the economy. That hasn't worked. Then they said a new housing recovery would do it. Once again, nein. So now their answer is just print money like crazy and eventually it will work. Yes, they are insane, but we already knew that didn't we.
Actions always speak louder than words and their actions demonstrate a deep concern for the real economy and an unspoken understanding that things are not going well underneath the layers of propaganda.
Now onto the second point. I think today will mark an important turning point in the markets not just because of what I wrote above, but because of where things stand.
