There are a lot of chain restaurants in Plano and even more in our big city neighbor, Dallas. Many people tend to lump all chain restaurants into one designation - unhealthy fast food. Some of those places would would fit that description (even though most of them have some sort of salad on their menus). Every so often though, there are some national chains that rise to the occasion to being healthy, fast, and with gluten-free options . Here are five restaurants you can find in and around Plano with many having locations elsewhere, too.
- Chipotle Mexican Grill: Not only can you find this chain everywhere, you can also use their website's nutrition calculator to choose the ingredients to make the exact item you want to eat in their stores. http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx
Whether you are watching calories, fat, or protein, and are eating gluten-free, all this information is on their website to serve you. See this webpage for special diet information:
- Domino's Pizza: Have it delivered or go to one of their many stores for pick-up, the gluten-free pizza crust offered by Domino's is crunchy and tasty topped with their spicy marinara and your choice of other meats and veggies. Domino's has a smartphone app that you can download for free, and when ordering a gluten-free pizza crust on it, you will be reminded about the potential for cross-contamination (which they also tell you about when you phone in an order, too). Insider's tip: Domino's has weekly coupon offers (none of them mention their gluten-free pizza crust). If you call and ask if they will accept a coupon for your gluten-free order, many locations will - especially if you are a regular customer. See their website's nutritional page and be prepared to be impressed: https://order.dominos.com/en/pages/content/nutritional/nutrition.jsp
- Zoe's Kitchen: OPA! Great Greek salads and other tasty Mediterranean dishes that are gluten-free are found at Zoe's. A particular favorite is the 'Greek Salad Trio' with tuna salad, Greek slaw, and potato salad (tell them to omit the pita bread). This salad is big and tasty. The only component of it with a light mayonnaise dressing is the tuna, and the others are dressed lightly with olive oil, herbs and spices - healthy, yummy, and a bargain. To learn about the goodness of all Zoe's food see: http://zoeskitchen.com/About-Zoes.aspx
- Mooyah Burgers: Order the Ice Burger - all the great things about a burger without the bun - for a gluten-free indulgence. Your burger comes wrapped in iceburg lettuce leaves along with the toppings you can select of cheese, bacon, or veggies for an easy-to-eat sandwich. Be mindful of possible cross-contamination with an order of fries (regular or sweet potato), if you need to be. Read all about their menu and nutrition: http://www.mooyah.com/menu_nutrition/
- La Hacienda Ranch: If you live in Plano or nearby, count yourself as one of the lucky ones to have a La Hacienda near you. If you don't, make sure when you visit the area to dine at a La Hacienda for authentic, grilled-over-mesquite-wood Tex-Mex fajitas with all the fresh made fixin's. Remember to ask for the house-made corn tortillas (instead of the flour ones) for gluten-free goodness. Go at mid-day and enjoy their fajitas for the lunch special price. Have a knock-your-socks-off frozen Margarita to wash it all down, and celebrate the man who created the first frozen Margarita machine (inducted into the Smithsonian National Museum in Washington, D.C., in October, 2005). http://www.laharanch.com/lahaciendaranch/home_laha.htm
Have a great weekend, and next week the topic featured will be converting everyday recipes to gluten-free ones. For convenience, you can subcribe to this column to receive email updates and links when new articles are published.

On March 16 Wetpaint shares the sneak peek of next week's "Once Upon a Time" entitled "The Tower." Fans already know that Zelena has taken over Regina's Enchanted Forest castle, and we also learn that Cora is Zelena's mother who abandoned her. It was also learned that Zelena was under Rumple's tutelage as well, so why does she have him locked in a cage?
Regina is obviously shocked that she has a sister, not so much so that her mother abandoned her because her mother was likely more evil than Regina is. How it was that Rumple never managed to let it slip that Regina had a sister seems strange, however, he might not have known depending on how closely guarded a secret it was kept.
At this point, we have learned that Zelena was the one that cast the spell that sent everyone back to Storybrooke and made them lose their memories, but why? If she isn't out for revenge than why is she keeping Rumple trapped in a cage, unless he did her wrong, or she is trying to extract something from him like dark magic, or is she trying to find his dagger so that she can become the dark one herself?
Despite what Zelena wants from Rumple, Emma and Charming will do their best to save him. Belle is also likely in Storybrooke using her book smarts to dig something up from every book mentioning the Wicked Witch that she can find in an attempt to save her true love.
What do you think the Wicked Witch Zelena wants with Rumple?

Jerry Petitgoue is truly a coaching legend for high school boys' basketball not only in the state of Wisconsin, but also in the country. When instructional videos first began coach Petitgoue was one of the first coaches to exhibit the skills and drills coaches could implement for success. Years later, coach Petitgoue is still at it! In this passing drill, coach Petitgoue puts all of the essential elements together to properly push the ball up the court. Coach's design allows his team to work on not only pushing the ball up the court with quick outlets, but getting the ball to the middle of the court in order to break any press.
Drill Setup: This drill is a full court drill that is continuous with groups of five players.
Athlete Movements: The drill starts with an outlet pass to the sideline and a quick relay pass to the middle of the court. The player receiving the ball in the middle of the court looks to pass the ball ahead for a quick layup. This process continues consistently until the next group is designated to be in.
Teaching Points:

RIT 4, Syracuse 3
ROCHESTER, NY – It was a night to remember for the RIT women's hockey team, (10-11-2, 5-3-1 CHA) as Cassie Clayton (Pickering, Ontario/PEAC School) scored a highlight worthy, short-handed goal with 1:17 to go in regulation, lifting the Tigers to a 4-3 win over CHA rival Syracuse (10-10-2, 3-5-2 CHA) on Friday evening at Ritter Arena.
Clayton sent the Ritter Arena crowd into a frenzy as she intercepted a pass from the Syracuse power play unit took, faked out the lone Orange defender in her way with some fancy stick handling then launched a shot top shelf over the shoulder of Jenesica Drinkwater, to give RIT the 4-3 lead with 1:17left and ultimately the win. It was the first short handed goal of the season for the Tigers.
Kourtney Kunichika (Fullerton, CA/LA Selects) reached a milestone by scoring the 50th goal of her career early in the second period on a power play that evened the game at 1-1. She became the 11th player in RIT history to score 50 goals in a career.
Erin Zach (Elmira, Ontario/Cambridge Fury) and Kolbee McCrea (Wawa, Ontario/Burlington Barracudas) each scored power play goals late in the period that helped RIT take a 3-2 lead. Celeste Brown (Great Falls, MT/National Sports Academy) and Taylor Thurston (Kanata, Ontario/All Saints Catholic)would earn the assists on the goal by Zach, while Lindsay Grigg and (Oakville, Ontario/Appleby Collegiate)Morgan Scoyne# would help set up McCrea's team-best 11th tally of the year.
Julie Knerr, Akane Hosoyamada and Melissa Piacentini were the goal scorers for the Orange. In net, Drinkwater made 20 saves in the loss.
RIT goaltender Jetta Rackleff (Bend, OR/Anaheim Lady Ducks) got the start in net and was strong, stopping 31 saves on the evening, several in sensational fashion, while allowing just the three goals. Her play was essential in many penalty kill opportunities, as she made a number of great saves to keep RIT in the game.
Syracuse out-shot RIT in the contest, 34-24. The Tigers were 3-for-8 with the man-advantage, while Syracuse was 2-for-7. Six of the seven goals in the contest came via special teams. RIT's three power-play goals tied a season-high, also done on Oct. 5 at Northeastern.
"Our power play finally came alive and was the spark for us from start to finish," said head coach Scott McDonald. "Jetta (Rackleff) really played well in goal for us tonight too, and then we get that highlight reel goal from Cassie at the end, just a solid team effort."
RIT began the game looking aggressive offensively for the first two minutes of play but couldn't get any shots off in their offensive zone. After 13 minutes the two teams were scoreless with only one shot on net, courtesy of Syracuse. It was the Orange's second shot that found the back of the net from Knerr with 11:25 remaining in the period.
As the period continued, both teams had several power play chances, and Syracuse nearly added to their lead with a deflection that slid between the legs of Rackleff, however she fell on it to keep the RIT deficit at 1. As the period came to a close a late Syracuse penalty would put the Tigers on a power play to start the second.
The second period started with a bang as Kunichika and the Tigers took advantage of the power play netting a goal with 18:55 on the clock, to tie the game at 1-1. After falling behind again to the Orange, 2-1, it was Zach's power play goal on a slapshot from the left circle that squeezed just past the right side of Drinkwater that tied thing up again. Minutes later, McCrea would add a third power play goal for the Tigers on a rebound shot right in front of the net, giving RIT their first lead of the game, 3-2.
The lead was short lived though as with just 17 second remaining in the second Piacentini netted a second power play goal for the Orange to make it 3-3.
In the third play was dominated by the Tigers who went to work in the offensive zone looking to grab the lead back again. Just when it looked as though the game may be headed for overtime, Clayton was able to intercept a pass and score the shorthanded goal by herself to give RIT the 4-3 win.
RIT is now 1-4-1 all-time against the Orange and holds onto third place in the CHA standings with a record of 5-3-1 and 11 points. The two teams will square off again in a week, as RIT will hit the road and head to Syracuse for rematch on Friday, Jan. 17. Game time will be 7 p.m.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.—The Syracuse ice hockey team (10-9-2) fell to RIT (10-11-2) in the final minute of play on Friday night in Ritter Arena. Six of the seven goals scored in the game were on the power play.
"There was a lot of special teams and it wasn't a very good game for either team," head coach Paul Flanagan said. "They out played us physically and they wanted it more. It really came down to a game of special teams, there was only one even strength goal the whole game. I give credit to what they did on the power play but I was extremely disappointed in our showing tonight."
SU outshot the Tigers 36-26 and edged RIT in the faceoff circle 39-33. Jenesica Drinkwater made 20 saves while Jetta Rackleff had 31 stops in net.
The Orange took an early lead when Jessica Sibley regained control of the puck behind the end line on the left side of the goal after exchanging possessions with the RIT defender and passed it out in front of the net to Julie Knerr, who was unguarded. Knerr skated to the left and sent one past Rackleff to take a 1-0 lead 8:25 into the game.
RIT scored 1:05 into the second period to tie the game at 1-1. Jess Patton got the initial shot off, which Drinkwater saved but she lost sight of the puck and Kourtney Kunichika netted the equalizer.
Syracuse regained its advantage seven minutes later on the power play when Akane Hosoyamada deflected a shot from Larissa Martyniuk, taken from the point, up and over the goalie, who was expecting it to be hard and low to bring the score to 2-1.
RIT then scored two in a row, both on the power play to take its first lead of the game with 3:24 remaining in the second period. The first was a goal by Erin Zach and the second was a rebounded shot into the net at the end of a two-man-down situation for SU.
Syracuse rallied at the end of the second stanza, scoring a goal when Nicole Renault took a wrist shot from the point that Melissa Piacentini redirected into the goal to tie the score at 3-3.
Both teams pressured on offense but no one was able to score until RIT had a shorthanded score with 1:17 left in the game. Cassie Clayton stole the puck and brought it up the ice, beating two SU defenders and sent in the game-winning goal.
The Orange put two shots on target in the final minute but a
penalty on Sibley ended Syracuse's offensive efforts.

Mercyhurst 3, No. 3 Cornell 3 [OT]
ERIE, Pa. – With a career-high 40 saves by junior goaltender Amanda Makela the Mercyhurst University women's hockey team tied third-ranked Cornell University 4-4 on Friday evening.
The Lakers extend their unbeaten streak to eight games and improved to 14-5-2 overall in the season. Cornell extended their unbeaten streak to four games and are 12-1-3 in the season.
Mercyhurst is now 2-3-3 when their opponent is the first to score as the Big Red scored their first goal of the contest at the 6:36 mark of the opening period. Alyssa Gagliardi tallied her fifth goal on a power-play goal when Hayleigh Cudmore fed her the puck in front of the Mercyhurst crease.
The Lakers answered back a little over a minute later after battling for a puck in their defensive zone. Senior Kaleigh Chippy created a turnover for freshman Paige Horton to pick up the puck and create the rush.
Horton shot a crisp pass to senior Christie Cicero who exploded down the ice on a one-on-one breakaway. Cicero skated her way to an open shot which was saved and knocked behind the net only for Cicero to pick up her own rebound and slide it past Cornell goaltender Lauren Slebodnick.
Two minutes later, Cornell put up their second goal of the contest to end the scoring of the first. Big Red's Ann Zorn collected the goal with Cassandra Poudrier adding the assist. At the end of the first Cornell outshot Mercyhurst 13 to 10.
At the start of the second, Mercyhurst did not loss momentum as sophomore Emily Janiga tallied an even-strength goal at the 3:25 mark. Senior Christine Bestland and sophomore Jenna Dingeldein tallied the assists.
Cornell however took away the lead yet again at the 10:56 mark of the second on a three–on-one opportunity. Big Red's Jillian Saulnier and Alyssa Gagliardi passed the puck back and fourth to create room for Emily Fulton to score behind goaltender Amanda Makela.
The scoring was not over as Mercyhurst tallied another goal on their only power-play opportunity of the period. After a battle behind Cornell's net, the Big Red tried to clear the puck but instead it bounced off the referee and onto the tap of junior Shelby Bram.
Bram then passed the puck in front of the net where sophomore Kathy Donohue was waiting. Donohue finished the puck under the pads of Slebodnick and picked up her sixth of the season.
The third period was scoreless throughout the first half until Mercyhurst took their first lead of the game at the 10:20 mark. Mercyhurst controlled play after a back and fourth first half of the period with Dingeldein leading the way. Dingeldein attempted a shot on net that was originally saved by Slebodnick.
However Cornell's Slebodnick left a rebound right in front of the net, which remained untouched as both teams battled. Bram finally picked up the puck to the left side of Slebodnick and muscled the puck over the goal line. With the power-play goal, Bram marked her sixth of the season and second point of the game. Donohue was also awarded the assist.
Four minutes later, Cornell tallied the equalizer on their second power-play goal of the night. The Big Red's Gagliardi forced overtime after scoring her second goal of the contest. Cudmore and Saulnier tallied the assists.
With a little four-on-four action mid-way through overtime and three shots attempted by each team, the Lakers and Big Red skated to a tie. Overall Cornell outshot Mercyhurst 44 to 37, as Mercyhurst is now 1-0-2 when outshot by their opponent.
After extending her scoring streak to seven games, Cicero also led the team with eight shots on net in the effort. Janiga, Bestland, and Chippy all tallied five.
Bram and Donohue both led the team with a goal and an assist apiece, while Dingeldein tallied two assists. Dingeldein is now nine assists away from her career 50, while juniorCaroline Luczak is looking for her career 25th.
Junior Amanda Makela made a career-high 40 saves throughout the 65:00 minutes played. Despite allowing four goals, Makela improves to 12-5-3 in the season. Slebodnick improved to 10-0-3 with her 33 saves.
The out-of-conference rivalry continues tomorrow, January 11, as the Lakers take on #3 Cornell at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. Puck drop is set for 2:00 p.m.

Colgate 3, Penn State 2 [OT]
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Nittany Lion women's hockey squad couldn't hold on to a late third-period lead as Colgate netted a power-play goal in overtime in a 3-2 Raider victory on Friday night at Pegula Ice Arena. Taylor Gross (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Jill Holdcroft (Pennsylvania Furnace, Pa.) tallied goals to pace the Penn State offense.
Penn State (3-17-2, 1-9-0 CHA) played one of its finest periods of the season in the second frame, out-shooting Colgate (5-13-2, 2-8-0 ECAC) 15-7 and scoring twice. Down 1-0, Holdcroft created a turnover deep in Raider territory and lifted a goal into the top shelf 6:43into the period. The unassisted tally was her fourth of the year.
Later on, Penn State's aggressive forecheck paid dividends as Shannon Yoxheimer (Jackson, Mich.) managed to keep the puck alive at the blue line and create a turnover that bounced to Gross. The senior captain made no mistake, slapping home her team-leading seventh goal of the year into the left-side netting for a 2-1 lead with 4:58 remaining in the period. The helper was Yoxheimer's seventh of the season.
The third period was another matter for the Nittany Lions as Colgate controlled possession and pinned Penn State for much of the frame. Colgate owned a 13-4 edge in shots with Taylor Volpe sending home a loose puck with just 2:05 remaining in the third period.
In overtime, Yoxheimer fired the first shot of the frame, but a minor penalty put Colgate on the power play for the fourth time in the game. A puck played to the point came to Katie Case as her blast was initially saved by Celine Whitlinger (Garden Grove, Calif.), but trickled through and Volpe pounced to put the game away.
Whitlinger played well all game and finished with 29 saves for the game. Her counterpart Brittney Brooks totaled 30 saves.
The Nittany Lions and Raiders each fired 32 shots in the game and both teams had four power-play opportunities. Penn State failed to score a power-play goal for the sixth straight game. PSU earned a 30-25 advantage in the faceoff circle with Laura Bowman(Minnetonka, Minn.) going 13-7.
The Nittany Lion scoring woes came to an end as Holdcroft's goal broke a scoring drought totaling nearly 292 minutes following four straight shutouts against Mercyhurst and Ohio State. Penn State drops to 1-9-0 all-time against ECAC Hockey teams.
The Nittany Lions and Raiders reprise their roles as adversaries on Saturday afternoon for a 2 p.m. game at Pegula Ice Arena. The game will be streamed live on BTN.com.

Ever since the band's Utah debut at the old Utah Fair Park Coliseum, supporting the now-25-years-old Nothing's Shocking, Jane's Addiction has become a bit of a white whale for me.
Through their successful (commercially, if not musically) follow-up, Ritual de lo Habitual, and invention of the Lollapalooza festival, the Los Angeles quartet was the arguably the most significant band on the planet for a brief window of the early '90s. Since then, though, they've mostly been on hiatus, getting together for a couple of albums of new material in the past two decades, and more-regular reunion tours that trade on the incredible good will the band built up during their initial burst into the public eye.
That good will is what drew me to Usana Amphitheatre Monday night, for an appearance by Jane's Addiction at the Uproar Festival that also featured fellow early '90s refugees Alice in Chains as well as younger, more creatively active acts like Danko Jones and Coheed & Cambria.
For their one hour on stage, Jane's Addiction proved well worth the effort of braving a decidedly metal-tinged festival and the drive to West Valley City for a run through some of Jane's Addiction's best. After starting with "Underground" from their 2012 release, the largely forgettable The Great Escape Artist, Perry Farrell and Co. wisely got down to the older songs that made their reputation.
"Mountain Song" led into another "new" song, "Just Because" from the band's 2003 effort, Strays. And while that track is a better representation of the band than virtually anything from their album from last year, it paled in comparison to its follow-up, "Standing in a Shower, Thinking."
"Been Caught Stealing" incorporated a bit of Farrell scatting about "wide open spaces" while guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Chris Chaney vamped through some jazzy improvisation. That loosening up by both band and fans helped the new "Another Soulmate" go down better than much of the newer Jane's material, while Ritual's epic journey of "Three Days" managed to capture all the over-stuffed grandeur of the original version.
After the expansive "Three Days," the show's final burst was an energetic blast, starting with the booming "Ocean Size" and moving through "Stop!," the percussion-heavy "Chip Away" and the set-closing acoustic take on "Jane Says."
Was the set predictable? Sure. Was Farrell in his best vocal form? Not really, whether due to the desert climate or merely the natural effect of aging. Were the "new" songs as good as the classics from Nothing's Shocking and Ritual? Of course not.
Even so, Jane's Addiction delivered a memorable burst of nostalgia that was far more effective than the Alice in Chains set that followed, and far more listenable than the Coheed & Cambria prog-metal excursion that preceded them. I've been wanting to see them every time I've had the chance since that Utah State Fair Park show roughly 25 years ago, and Monday's show proved that is not such a bad plan, all these years later.

Pretty sure my body is trying to tell me I'm pregnant
Ironic how some of you are getting on someone's case for stating their opinion.
That bloat post doesn't prove anything other than they're the ones with an actual baby bump bloat and not possible pms bloat.
ick. *wishes to bleach memory* thought of pms'ing women BLOAT BUMPING....yikes.
And if you're not pregnant then do members get to come back and say seeee it was just pms?
um pretty sure name calling is a pa and against rules somewhere.
FYI taking 3 years to conceive does NOT mean they don't know what they're doing. You can offend a lot of members...it's called infertility...educate don't hate.
Op says she's pretty sure her body is telling her she's pregnant and calling her bloat a baby bump probably why some are saying it's most likely just bloat.
Just my 2cents. I guess they made the ignore feature for a reason.
can't please all of the ppl all of the time...the world isn't full of rainbow farting unicorns...don't post if you're afraid of unsympathetic reactions some people don't blow smoke up others' @sses and not perpetuate false hope.
nonetheless best wishes with the progesterone symptoms!
"I hope your inner child gets colic and snot shits on your soul."
Patton Oswalt
Name calling is not tolerated and comments have been deleted as it's a pa.
Rudeness is not a vio-use the ignore user feature if you no longer want to see someone's responses.
Taking longer than a year to conceive does not mean the person doesn't know what they are doing-attc longer than a year could indicate fertility issues.
Any further pa will result in post closure; leaving open for op to update without having to create a new thread.
^what Rosey said.

A lot of people know what Jesus said, but they don't understand what it means to us today in reference to the new patch on an old cloak and new wine in an old wineskin. In Mark 2.21-22 Jesus said, "No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."
It is common knowledge that if you sew a new patch that hasn't been preshrunk onto an old worn pair of jeans, the first time you wash them the new patch will shrink and the jeans will be a mess. Likewise in ancient days, before wine bottles were invented, wine was stored in wineskins made of animal hide or gut. If new wine was poured into a wineskin that had been previously used, the fermentation process would burst the wineskin. This would not have been good for the wineskin or to the wine. They both would have been ruined.
Besides, to put new wine into an old wineskin would be asking for big trouble. The old wineskin has assumed a definite shape and is no longer pliable. It is fixed and somewhat brittle. The essence of this is that you can't put new ideas into old mindsets. You can't get new results with old behaviors.
Too often people start a new relationship; however, they bring along old ideas into the new relationship and before long they have ruined the relationship.
Putting new wine in old wineskin was just an analogy that Jesus was teaching that some new things just don't go along with some old things. Old stuff wears out and becomes unsuitable for use with new materials. When you put fresh wine in an old wineskin, the new wine interacts more strongly than an aged wine would and the bag will eventually burst.
The point of the analogy is that new ideas and new ways of behaving are incompatible with old mindsets. In other words, people can't bring along old habits and beliefs if they want a changed life. Otherwise, it might do more harm than good.
Too often we have heard people say, "I have always done it this way." That's the point. You can't do things the old way and expect new results. Don't bring old bad habits into a new relationship. Don't bring the same things on a new job that got you fired from your old job. If you want things to be better in your life, don't put new wine in old wineskin.

Carnival Valor, Carnival's newest Conquest-class ship, is on its way to Miami today. The cruise line officially accepted delivery of the 110,000-ton, 2,974-passenger vessel at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, which set sail early this morning. Carnival Valor will spend 12 nights crossing the Atlantic with just crew -- no passengers -- and arrive in Miami on December 13.
Almost immediately, the inaugural dance begins. First up? A two-night ceremonial cruise to the Bahamas that departs on December 15. Roughly half of the passengers onboard will be "regular" guests, the other half media folks, travel agents and VIPs. Upon its return on December 17, Katie Couric, co-host of NBC News' "Today," will handle godmothering duties as the ship is officially inaugurated. Carnival Valor will then undergo customary Coast Guard inspections before heading out on its first "real" cruise, a seven-night Eastern Caribbean voyage calling at Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. The ship, which homeports in Miami, will sail alternating seven-night Caribbean itineraries year-round; Western Caribbean trips will visit Belize City, Isla Roatan, George Town and Cozumel.
Curious about the ship itself? Keep an eye out for Cruise Critic's "sneak preview," which will launch later this month. But we can tell you that like its older Conquest-class siblings Carnival Conquest and Carnival Glory, Carnival Valor features a plethora of big-ship amenities -- 22 lounges and bars, 4 swimming pools, a 214-foot water slide and a 13,300-square-foot health club, just to name a few. One highlight is its theme of American heroism: The One Small Step Dance Club celebrates astronaut Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon, while the ship's two main dining rooms feature themes revolving around American presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

They don't give players a summer day with the Presidents' Trophy.
There are no parades associated with the award given to the team with the best regular-season record in the NHL.
No, those privileges only come with the Stanley Cup, a fact the Boston Bruins know all too well after they followed a 117-point regular season with a seven-game loss in the Eastern Conference Second Round to the Montreal Canadiens.
Boston is going to have to find a way to improve in 2014-15. However, even after losing top goal-scorer Jarome Iginla to the Colorado Avalanche as an unrestricted free agent, the Bruins didn't have enough salary-cap space to make changes to their roster.
They instead re-signed most of their restricted free agents and plan on retaining entry-level free agents Reilly Smith and Torey Krug, who each had a breakout season in their inaugural NHL campaign in 2013-14.
There are plenty of questions to be answered between now and training camp, and during the season, as the Bruins try to remain among the NHL's elite. Here are five:
1. Who will replace Jarome Iginla? -- Iginla was the new Nathan Horton. Now the Bruins need a new Iginla to skate with center David Krejci and left wing Milan Lucic. Among the Bruins' returning players, only Loui Eriksson and Smith seem to have the type of offensive skills it takes to play on the first line. Either player will give that line a different dynamic; Krejci is used to being surrounded by skill players with size and brute strength.
Eriksson figures to get the first chance to take that spot, barring a trade.
2. Can Eriksson rebound? -- Bruins brass has faith the injury-plagued wing, who scored 37 points in 61 games last season and sustained two concussions, wasn't the player they're going to have this season and beyond.
"I think Loui Eriksson is a player that can be even better than he was last year," coach Claude Julien said. "I think we started seeing that at the end of the year, and he could be a replacement for Jarome as a possibility."
Eriksson had a strong last couple months of last season, especially when Carl Soderberg was switched to center and Chris Kelly moved to left wing. If Eriksson doesn't win the job with Lucic and Krejci, maybe the Swede plays with center Patrice Bergeron and left wing Brad Marchand, or maybe goes back to the bottom six.
He needs to be the type of producer he was for the Dallas Stars, where he had 71 points in 2011-12.
3. Which forward prospect is ready for a promotion? -- Iginla and right wing Shawn Thornton left two forward openings, but Kelly's expected return from back surgery leaves one spot that, for now, the Bruins will look to fill from within the organization. Justin Florek and Matt Fraser made early impressions by playing well in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Ryan Spooner has had high hopes for a while. Alexander Khokhlachev has been gradually making his way into the Bruins' plans.
Boston drafted David Pastrnak late in the first round this June, and all of a sudden there was another competitor. The Bruins were impressed with the 18-year-old at their development camp and quickly signed him so he can make a push for an NHL job.
4. Can Tuukka Rask get some rest? -- The past two seasons, the Bruins had extremely capable backups for their No. 1 goaltender. Anton Khudobin had a .920 save percentage and 2.32 goals-against average in 2012-13, and last season Chad Johnson had a .925 save percentage and a 2.10 GAA to make sure the Bruins dealt with only a slight drop on nights when the Vezina Trophy winner was off.
It appears Niklas Svedberg will move up into the No. 2 slot. He was the American Hockey League goaltender of the year in 2012-13 but had some troubles last season, when he had a 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage. Svedberg has one game of NHL experience, so he's a bit of a wild card.
5. Which six defensemen will Peter Chiarelli pick? -- The Bruins typically keep seven defensemen in the NHL but rarely play more than six. Right now, there are no fewer than nine players who could claim a spot in the top six.
Veterans Zdeno Chara, Johnny Boychuk and Dennis Seidenberg are lineup fixtures. Dougie Hamilton and Krug earned the right to be in the top four with strong seasons. Then you have veterans Adam McQuaid and Matt Bartkowski, and second-year player Kevan Miller.
General manager Peter Chiarelli has cited prospect David Warsofsky as legitimate NHL player. If everyone's healthy, at some point there will have to be a trade. Boychuk, who's scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, would bring the most in return and free the most salary-cap space. But Chiarelli could move a couple of the younger players.

Cumberland County District Attorney Billy West said Friday that 17-year-old Tyt'ana Lisa-Nicole Johnson of Fayetteville was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder. A friend of the grandmother's also ate the greens. Both were treated at a hospital and released.
The Fayetteville Observer quoted (http://bit.ly/1iWtmtb) the grandmother, 51-year-old Gaylon Moody, as saying the teenager was angry because her cellphone was taken away. The paper reported that Johnson poisoned the greens while her grandmother was attending Easter services.
Johnson is being held in the county jail on $500,000 bail. Jail records didn't indicate whether she had an attorney.
Under North Carolina criminal law, anyone 16 years and older is considered an adult.

BOSTON - The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH), in collaboration with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Department of Psychiatry, has announced the opening of the Center for Early Detection, Assessment, and Response to Risk (CEDAR), a specialized clinic for young people experiencing clinical signs of risk for psychosis, and their families.
The clinic is funded by a grant from the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation to Drs. Larry Seidman and Anthony Giuliano of the BIDMC Department of Psychiatry, affiliated with Harvard Medical School and the Commonwealth Research Center, one of two research Centers of Excellence funded by DMH.
CEDAR, representing a public-academic partnership, is located in Roxbury at "The Spot," a storefront satellite community support program for youth operated by DMH through the Massachusetts Mental Health Center.
The CEDAR clinic is designed to work with teenagers and young adults who are showing early warning signs of psychosis. These signs can include new or worsening difficulties in school or social functioning or declining interest in people, activities or self-care. When these signs emerge in someone with a family history of psychosis, the risk for psychosis increases according to a paper published in the Archives of General Psychiatry by Cannon and colleagues in January 2008. Drs. Seidman and Giuliano contributed data to that multi-site study.
"We are very excited that DMH research funding is able to leverage broader financial support for cutting edge programs such as CEDAR," said DMH Commissioner Barbara A. Leadholm, M.S., M.B.A. "Early intervention is key to prevention and recovery from mental illness. This particular specialized care for young people serves as a model and will help keep them on track and support a successful transition into adult life."
"We are very pleased that these innovative services are taking root in Massachusetts and are hopeful that they will grow and develop over time," said Larry J. Seidman, Ph.D., director of the Commonwealth Research Center. "We are dedicated to improving methods for prevention and recovery from psychosis in its earliest phases and working closely with the DMH to implement and disseminate this knowledge."
The CEDAR clinic joins a world-wide movement towards earlier detection and treatment of the earliest warning signs of psychosis with a goal of increasing resilience in order to prevent the development of severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. The aim of these programs is to provide specialized outpatient clinical services to persons at risk for psychosis and their families to stem the progression of illness and deter disability.
CEDAR is under the direction of Suzanna Zimmet, M.D., and Michelle Friedman-Yakoobian, Ph.D. The CEDAR staff is committed to increasing the capacity of the Metro Boston community for early recognition and referral by providing outreach and training. CEDAR staff are available to consult with clinicians, middle/high school and college personnel, youth program personnel and other concerned adults in the community about identifying and providing services for young people who might be at risk for psychosis or to provide outreach and education programs.
For more information or referrals to the CEDAR program, please contact Michelle Friedman-Yakoobian, Ph.D. at 617-516-5120 or email
The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) is one of the 17 state agencies that comprise the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. DMH provides services to adults, children and adolescents with long-term or serious mental illness and serious emotional disturbance; provides early and ongoing treatment for mental illness; and conducts research into the causes of and treatments for mental illness. Through state operated inpatient facilities and community mental health centers and through community services and programs provided by nearly 200 mental health providers, DMH directly serves 21,000 citizens, including about 3,500 children and adolescents, with severe and persistent mental illness and serious emotional disturbance.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a patient care, teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and consistently ranks among the top four in National Institutes of Health funding among independent hospitals nationwide. BIDMC is clinically affiliated with the Joslin Diabetes Center and is a research partner of Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. BIDMC is the official hospital of the Boston Red Sox.

College Hockey:Maine, UMass strong heading towards break; BU not so much
It was a pretty brief week for Hockey East teams, and thus my three things that I learned this week will be equally as brief. Here we go:
1) Maine is climbing toward "legit"
I know this will draw the ire of some Black Bears fans, but I've had a difficult time calling this Maine team legit to this point. That said, reaching the break with a 9-6-1 mark and a 9-1-0 record inside the friendly confines of Alfond Arena is impressive. Now I know that the Black Bears beat a somewhat weak AIC squad this weekend, but wins at home against Massachusetts-Lowell, Boston College and Boston University tell me that this team is poised to be a potential sleeper (or should I say contender?) in the second half. The one issue that must be solved: winning on the road. A 0-5-1 mark away from home is cause for serious concern given that six of the next seven games for Maine will be away from home.
2) What should we make of UMass?
Massachusetts finished off a weekend road sweep of Colgate on Sunday giving the Minutemen three straight wins. But this streak follows an eight-game winless skid leaving me shaking my head as to what to make of this UMass team. The Minutemen still have one game left on Tuesday night when they host Denver, a team coming off a win and tie at Rensselaer. That game could be a statement game for UMass if there is to be any belief this team can finish in the top half of Hockey East.
3) And the Terriers remain inconsistent
Raise your hand if after BU's win over Cornell at Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving weekend that you began to have high hopes for the Terriers. I, for one, have my hand in the air. But a loss and tie to Merrimack followed by an ugly 4-1 loss against Bentley at home pushes BU to the break at 7-8-2 and in 10th place (albeit with games in hand) in Hockey East. BU, like Maine, is winless (0-5-0) on the road but has proved that there is little game-to-game consistency for this team.
Check back on Wednesday as I will be handing out mid-term grades for all 11 Hockey East teams.

Police shot a pit bull in Springfield, Oregon yesterday – and the injured dog still needs surgery to remove a bullet lodged in her shoulder. While some reports state that the dog, named Kiki, is "fine" and does not need surgery, Kiki's family - and those who are close to this case - assert that this is untrue.
According to yesterday's KEZI News, the dog, named Kiki, was shot on Tuesday evening near the intersection of S. 41st and Camellia St. According to the Springfield police, an officer was responding to calls of an "aggressive" dog and attempted to get the dog to come to him. The officer alleges that the dog made an "aggressive" move towards him in the middle of the street. The officer pulled his gun and discharged the weapon, shooting Kiki from a distance of only a few feet.
KEZI News stated that according to witnesses who did not want to be named, the officer's rendition of events is inaccurate - but now, witnesses are beginning to come forward and talk on the record. According to Sandi Sue Sexton, the police account of the incident is inaccurate. Sexton stated: "My son was there. This dog never made a threatening move toward the officer. The neighbors who witnessed the whole incident were screaming at the officer not to shoot the dog because she was not doing anything at all. But he shot her anyways, then proceeded to chase her over into my driveway with his gun out. She ran to my son and roommate for help. They were not scared of the wounded dog!"
According to No Kill Lane County, Kiki was seen this morning by the Cascade Animal Hospital, where staff took X-rays of the injured dog. A bullet is lodged in Kiki's shoulder and she still has a head wound, as well. Kiki will need ongoing emergency care for the bullet wound. She may need surgery to remove the bullet in her shoulder, because it may migrate later.
Residents have expressed outrage over the incident, stating that they were upset with the choice of weapon and that force was used. "That was definitely overkill in this situation," stated neighbor Brenda Brick.
She added: "I don't feel like that dog was that big of a threat at all. I live right across the street and I've only had positive interactions with that dog."
According to Sergeant Richard Lewis, the officer had no other options. Sgt. Lewis asserted that there were reports that a driver used his car to block the dog from someone on the street and told the person to get in.
Sgt. Lewis stated: "The officer wishes he wasn't put in that position, but he was. That's unfortunate for the dog."
Sgt. Russ Boring concurred: "It was chasing people down the street. We had one phone call from a neighbor saying that there was a younger type teen male that had been chased by the dog and had been cornered."
"They said they were scared of the officer running around with his gun out," Sexton countered. "[The officer] was still chasing her around while she was bleeding all over the place with his gun out, not saying anything to anyone. The blood is still in our driveway and the dog's driveway. She was chased to and retreated, when she started out in her own yard. The people who witnessed it and were screaming at the officer not to shoot her say they are filing a complaint against the officer."
According to Sgt. Lewis, his evaluation of Tuesday's incident was "justified" and no disciplinary action will be taken against the officer. Animal advocates, however, disagree – and they're planning a protest today.
Kiki's owner, Breonna Kerr, stated that her dog was a rescue pit bull. Kiki is still suffering from the injuries incurred from the police shooting and her family still needs help to pay for surgery. Save the Pets, a 501(c)(3) rescue organization, has agreed to collect funds for Kiki through their PayPal account. Donations need to be marked "Kiki Medical Fund."
Breonna Kerr comforted her dog yesterday as she tried to arrange her dog's surgery. The Kerr family continues to try to raise funds for their dog's life-saving surgery. To add insult to injury, the police stated that they will eventually provide the investigation information to animal control to see if any citations will be issued to the owner.
"It's not fair to her," Kerr stated. "The people say she was trying to get inside because the officer was chasing her and gunned her down, and I feel like it wasn't handled the correct way and it should've been done and dealt with differently than it had."
The police report that they're happy with how the incident unfolded. Sgt. Boring stated: "In fact, the officer did a very good job and several of the citizens commented that the officer did a great job out there and we're very happy with what happened."
While Kerr states that Kiki did escape from her yard, she wants justice for her dog due to the excessive use of force. Kerr stated: "That's a life, no matter if it's a human being or an animal. That's a life, and you know it's not fair for her to sit there and be like that in pain and agony."
A protest is planned today at the Springfield Police Department, located at 230 4th St., Springfield, on from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A Facebook page has been created for the event.
No Kill Lane County spokesperson Debi McNamara told Seattle Pets Examiner yesterday: "No Kill Lane County encourages all animal lovers to join the protest and make your voices heard. We also want to thank the veterinarians in our community who do step up in these situations and offer low-cost, life-saving care for the animals."
According to the Facebook event page, police officers have minimal training for dealing with canine calls, "resulting all too often in excessive force being used. This is made obvious with the most recent case of a pet dog being shot in the skull by the Springfield PD yesterday. Animal rights activists and pet owners are more than concerned over the recent rash of unjustifiable slayings of dogs and hitting so close to home here in Lane County we need to send a clear message, NOT IN OUR TOWN."

On Tuesday, March 4, ABC reported that Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice pleaded guilty to numerous fraud and tax evasion charges. As a result, both of the Giudices are facing jail time.
Teresa and Joe Giudice entered the federal courthouse and appeared before Judge Esther Salas. When asked if they were admitting to the fraud charges, both of them said, "Yes, your honor."
The Giudices pleaded guilty as a part of a plea deal. Teresa Giudice could end up serving less than two years while her husband Joe will serve a minimum of three years.
Prosecutors hit the Giudices with a 41 count indictment last year. They went on to add even more charges after a few months. They accused Teresa and Joe of exaggerating their income when they applied for loans.
They are also accused of hiding their money during the bankruptcy filing.

***UPDATE: The Eagles concert was rescheduled for Oct. 26***
Kres Chophouse, at 17 W. Church Street in downtown Orlando, is offering a pretty cool deal for folks going to the Eagles concert at the new Amway Center on Thursday night.
For $20 they'll offer you valet parking and a cocktail before the show. Considering the two parking garages around the Amway are $20 this seems like a perfect deal. You get a drink and the hassle is taken out of parking your car and getting out after the show.
There are other parking options around downtown Orlando for $10 or less, just might be a slightly longer walk.
I think other downtown Orlando businesses should follow this model, we might actually see a crowd back on Church Street again. Kres will also have their happy hour that day from 4-7 p.m. that includes Ketel One vodka specials and complimentary food.

Investors Take Portugal for a Ride
Investors sent Portugal and other highly indebted European countries a stern warning Wednesday: We'll lend you cash, but you're going to have to pay a hefty interest rate.
Portugal's debt managers raised over €1 billion ($1.27 billion) by selling new bonds to investors amid a severe flare-up of European debt fears. The risk premiums investors demand to lend to Portugal and Ireland are still around the highest levels since the euro was created in 1999.
The good news is that Portugal's fund-raising effort didn't fail. The bad news is the country paid dearly to attract investors: The average yield on Portugal's 2013 bond was 4.086%, sharply higher from the 3.597% rate paid at a similar auction in June. The yield on Portugal's new 2021 bond was 5.973%, a big jump from an earlier 4.17% rate.
Why are investors getting so demanding? For starters, they're worried again about the health of Europe's banks and economies. There's still uncertainty over what the Irish will do with troubled lender Anglo Irish Bank. Greece's biggest bank, National Bank of Greece, surprised observers Tuesday by moving to raise more cash.
Investors are also hungry for extra yield. With so many anxious money managers switching to safe assets like Treasurys and German government bonds, prices on these investments have soared, sending their yields to near-record low levels. (Bond yields and prices move inversely.) That, in turn, is making more adventurous investors look further afield, to riskier bets like Portuguese bonds that carry high yields.
Ireland, which will sell Treasury bills on Thursday, may end up paying through the nose too.
But things are improving a bit as Wednesday rolls on: The euro is heading higher and the deterioration in Europe's bond market is stabilizing, at least for now.

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
Obesity therapeutics firm Zafgen raised $33 million in a Series C financing round led by its existing investor syndicate including Atlas Venture and Third Rock Ventures. The company says the funds will be used to progress its pipeline and move its lead methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) inhibitor ZGN-433 (beloranib hemioxalate) into Phase II trials for the treatment of severe obesity, within the next 6–12 months.
Zafgen's anti-obesity approach is focused on restoring the sensitivity of the fat tissue in obese individuals to natural hormonal control mechanisms, which essentially then drives fat loss. ZGN-433 is being developed as a twice-weekly subcutaneous injection, but Zafgen says it is also working on second-generation compounds that would potentially be suitable for oral administration and for use in other indications.
Beloranib hemioxalate was originally developed by CKD Pharmaceuticals and proflied as a potential treatment for solid tumors. The drug is licensed exclusively to Zafgen worldwide excluding Korea.
In June the firm reported new data from a Phase Ib study evaluating ZGN-433 in severely obese individuals. The data showed treatment with ZGN-433 was associated with rapid and significant improvements in cardiovascular risk markers including LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein with no evidence of major tolerability or safety issues. The results in addition confirmed preclinical findings that MetAP2 inhibition leads to changes in fat metabolism and levels of leptin and adiponectin.
Positive topline results from the study had been reported back in January and showed ZGN-433 therapy met its primary weight loss endpoint, with treated patients demonstrating median weight loss of 1 kg per week. Changes in lipid parameters associated with treatment included a 38% reduction in triglyceride levels and a 23% reduction in LDL levels.

Brick Mansions : "PG-13" (1 Hour: 30 Min)
Starring: Paul Walker, Robert Maillet, RZA, Carlo Rota, David Belle
Directed by: Camille Delamarre
Filmed prior to Paul Walker's tragic and untimely death in 2013, this film is a French-Canadian action thriller film that is a remake of the 2004 French film District B13. The film was originally intended to be a direct-to video release, but after Walker's death, it was slated for a theatrical release. The rather implausible story occurs in near future in a dystopian Detroit that has abandoned an entire district known as Brick Mansions. Once this section was a much nicer neighborhood, but over the years (like Detroit itself) it has fallen into disrepair. Now in has been literally walled off and houses only the most dangerous of criminals as well as the poorest of the poor who are trapped there as well.
Unable to control the crime, the police have constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city (yah, we also thought that this part of the film's backstory was pretty implausible, still, it is what we have). Now, undercover cop Damien Collier (Walker) who himself is the son of a decorated, cop, killed on the job, is determined to bring his father's killer Tremaine (RZA) to justice. Meanwhile, Lino (Belle), who lives inside Brick Mansions, is waging a one-man war against Tremaine who has become the defacto crime boss of the sector. When Lino steals then destroys 20 kilos of Tremaine's "product" it sets off a series of events that will have profound effects on the entire city. Meanwhile (in a subplot that is almost tossed off and then dismissed) the Mayor is attempting to "rehabilitate" Brick Mansions so as to put in a new high-rise community that will help resuscitate the city itself.
So, into the lion's mouth goes Detective Collier who (reluctantly) teams with Lino as Collier attempts to not only nab Tremaine, but stop him from detonating a nuke inside Brick Mansion while Lino is attempting to rescue his ex-girlfriend Lola (Catalina Denis) that Tremaine has kidnapped so as to extract revenge on Lino and together the two men must stop Tremaine's plot to devastate the entire city. If you made it through this far (or about 10 minutes into the film), you'll realize that all of this is just fluff, and none of it actually matters as the entire point of all of this is to see Walker and Belle (who is credited with inventing parkour) jump around like street acrobats and fight off dozens of thugs while driving fast cars, getting shot at, and blowing the crap out of stuff. Still, the millions of Walker fans will flock to see this film, and it should all do well enough. (Oh yeah, rumor has it that Vin Diesel apparently told the producers that if the film was released theatrically, he would agree to do a sequel, and would donate his salary to Walker's daughter.)

Car Lust--AMC Gremlin X
It's hard to be a fan of the AMC Gremlin. Not only was it an awful car, but it was so famous for being awful that even when you think you've found another beleaguered Gremlin addict, they invariably turn the knife by smirking, winking, and saying, "Sure, I think the Gremlin is awesome!"
You know a car is terrible when the only people to profess to like it are really only claiming it to enhance their own ironic slumming hipness. I can't really judge them; I've hidden behind the faux-irony defense many times when my buddies start to sneer at my ridiculously poor taste in cars.
I really do like the Gremlin, though--and to examine why is to delve into my bad-car pathology.
For one thing, the Gremlin is the ultimate underdog--and it was built by AMC, the ultimate underdog automaker. For another, I actually quite like the styling. And, perhaps most compelling, the Gremlin never gets any credit for being one of the first primitive spores that would eventually evolve into the advanced life form now known as hot hatchbacks.
Let's start with the styling. The Gremlin looks like a big 1970s AMC sedan--big grille, large front overhang, high stance--that had an unfortunate buttocks amputation. That first impression is an accurate one. The Gremlin fundamentally is a big 1970s AMC sedan transformed into an ersatz economy car by the simple expedient of chopping off the trunk and rear doors in the most un-subtle way possible. The interesting footnote here is that the Kamm-back quasi-hatchback rear end was actually considered a very sporty look in the 1970s; that is, until the Gremlin adopted it and ruined it for everybody.
The thing is, the Gremlin actually looks pretty good to me. In Gremlin X trim, with nicer wheels and stripes, and often white-letter tires, the its big-car grille and funky profile make it look a bit like an ersatz muscle car with a receding hairline and a posture problems. It's a weird-looking car, to be sure, but endearing in how daring and honest it is.
I imagine there's still some consternation about me calling the Gremlin an early hot hatchback. I realize how ridiculous that sounds in 2008, but please, let me explain.
In the early 1970s, as the gas shortages began to hit, every domestic automaker was scrambled for its own high-economy small car that could go head-to-head with Volkswagen, Renault, and the Japanese. AMC's answer was the Gremlin. As an abbreviated big car, the Gremlin included a big-car engine--AMC's ancient but torquey straight-six. This combination gave the Gremlin ridiculously poor mileage in the teens, making it an abject failure as an economy car. But the upside was that in comparison with its peers, the Gremlin had a mountain of torque and was a spunky little performer--one of the first times in history that a supposed economy car made by a mainstream company could make that claim. Of course, this is all relative; by today's standards, the Gremlin is miserably slow.
AMC would later introduce a V-8, which was even faster and thirstier, as well as a four-cylinder sourced from Porsche/Audi--fundamentally, the same engine used in the Porsche 924. Despite this seemingly exotic lineage, the four-cylinder was primarily a tool for improved fuel economy and offered nothing in the way of performance.
One of the most appealing strengths of the Gremlin is its chutzpah. The Gremlin was available with all of the sticker-and-paint packages common to other poseur muscle cars of the time, as well as the now-legendary Levi's interior package. The Levi's package swathed the interior of the car in a fabric that looked and felt like Levi's denim, which seemed like a cool idea until you brushed up against a white-hot rivet while wearing shorts, or when found you couldn't throw your dirty jeans interior into the washing machine.
Go ahead and judge me - I like this car a lot in a very non-ironic way.
These photos come from, oddly enough, a user's page at the University of Michigan. Also worth checking out is Gremlin X.com, specifically their photo center, which includes both member's rides and some fantastic original press photos and brochures, as well as the original Gremlin press release.
I love these two commercials--both the significance attached to a $250 price drop and the quote: "I took my car in just to see if it was so. And it's so!"
--Chris H.

The Associated Press
Christian Bale, left, best supporting actor, Natalie Portman, best actress, second from left, Melissa Leo, best supporting actress, and Colin Firth, best actor, pose backstage with their Oscars at the 83rd Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES -- "The King's Speech" has been crowned best picture at an Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation.
The monarchy drama led as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claimed acting honors.
Colin Firth as stammering British ruler George VI in "The King's Speech" earned the best-actor prize Sunday, while Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in "Black Swan."
The boxing drama "The Fighter" claimed both supporting-acting honors, for Christian Bale as a boxer-turned-drug-abuser and Melissa Leo as a boxing clan's domineering matriarch.
"The King's Speech" also won the directing prize for Tom Hooper and the original-screenplay Oscar for David Seidler, a boyhood stutterer himself.

Plant Protein, Lower Blood Pressure
British researchers have found that those who get more protein from non-meat sources (vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.) tend to have lower blood pressure than their more carnivorous peers.
Dietary intake data was matched against blood pressure measurements for 4,680 middle-aged and older subjects over a six-week period. What emerged from this analysis was a strong inverse relationship between higher intakes of plant-based protein and lower rates of blood pressure. These results may help explain why a previous Mayo Clinic analysis found a 30% lower risk of death from heart disease among post-menopausal women who consumed high amounts of vegetarian protein sources.
How much protein do you need — and what are the healthiest plant sources? Thegeneral rule of thumb is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which works out to about 44 grams for a 120 pound woman, or 55 grams for a 150 pound man. When you think of "veg protein," soy products probably spring to mind — and indeed, a cup of cooked soybeans provides a hefty 28 grams of protein. But you might be surprised to learn that a cup of wild rice provides 7 grams, a cup of white beans provides 19 grams, a cup of cooked spinach provides 5 grams, an ounce of peanuts provide 8 grams, while a cup of cooked broccoli (or Brussels sprouts) provide 4 grams. Try our featured recipe, "Fettuccine with Figs and Chiles," which provides a whopping 12 grams of vegetable protein.
While your chances of developing hypertension increase with age, blood pressure is also on the rise among America's youth. African-Americans are at higher risk of developing blood pressure than other ethnic groups. Diet, lifestyle and activity levels greatly influence hypertension risk. Lose excess weight, increase exercise, reduce salt intake, and reach for potassium sources such as dates, raisins, potatoes and bananas.
Bonus: Japanese researchers found that walking just an hour and fifteen minutes per week — the equivalent of three 25-minute walks — was enough to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
