Flower colour

Skill level
A superb, bizarre plant producing a short, thick, branching stem with lovely silvery, bluish-green leaves. The flowers are usually white but may well have a pink tinge. It comes from the Mediterranean, especially Greece and Turkey, which means it needs wall-to-wall sun and excellent drainage. Though it can withstand the cold, it hates having its roots locked in sopping wet soil all winter, which is why it is traditionally grown in rock gardens or on stony banks.

Legislation to reimburse states for operating national parks during the government shutdown is now pending in the House as well as the Senate. Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) introduced the Shutdown Windfall Reimbursement Act (H.R. 4353), which would direct the National Park Service to reimburse states for costs they endured while operating national parks last October when the federal government shut down. The bill was referred to the House Natural Resources the Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation.
Eight representatives cosponsored the bill. The committee approved a similar bill last fall but the full House never voted on it.
Sen Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced a similar measure in the Senate in March. It is pending before the the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The Senate bill picked up seven cosponsors. Another bill to do that was introduced last fall in the Senate but never got out of committee.

College Hockey:Instant Win: Pioneers Top Seawolves In OT
Video Review Gives Drummond GWG
DENVER — The Seawolves of Alaska-Anchorage and the Denver Pioneers battled tooth and nail to end a dramatic game Saturday night at Magness Arena. But it was a small video monitor at ice level that had everyone's attention in Denver's 3-2 overtime win.
Jeff Drummond finished off a phenomenal give-and-go play with linemate Kevin Ulanski just to the left of the goalmouth to get the apparent winning goal. But as Ulanski and Drummond began to celebrate, play continued as it appeared that UAA goalie Nathan Lawson had made the save before the puck crossed the goal line.
Several more shots were taken by the Pioneers before a stoppage in play led to a video review, where it was determined, after much deliberation, that Lawson gloved the puck within the goal, giving Denver (18-6-1, 13-4-1 WCHA) the win and the series sweep.
"It was an unbelievable pass. [Ulanski] caught me off guard with a great play," said Drummond, who admitted he couldn't initially tell if the goal was scored. "At the time when I first shot it I couldn't really tell if it was [a goal]. Then I heard Gabe [Gauthier] screaming and yelling, saying it was in."
"It was a goal and the league got it right and obviously we were the beneficiary," said DU head coach George Gwozdecky. "More importantly it was the right call."
The Seawolves (7-14-3, 5-13-2 WCHA) wanted to avenge the 8-4 drubbing they suffered on Friday night and adjust to a Denver offense that was firing on all cylinders. As the first period got underway, it appeared that physical play and tighter defense was the approach UAA planned to take.
The bad blood that seeped into Friday's contest continued in earnest during the opening period. Denver forward Gauthier received a 10-minute misconduct after shooting the puck after the whistle. Shea Hamilton — UAA's ejectee from Friday night — engaged in some pushing and shoving and was sent to the box for two minutes.
The four-on-four that ensued set a quick tempo that allowed both squads to get quality chances in the first half of the period. Lawson looked sharp at the outset for UAA, snatching a Ryan Helgason wrist shot with a quick glove and getting good position to stifle another early Pioneer chance.
"He's been superb in the pipes for us lately," said UAA coach John Hill of his freshman goalie. "He deserves better than what we've been giving him."
But like the previous night's game, the Alaska-Anchorage defense allowed Denver forwards to get position in front of Lawson — a tendency that led to the night's first goal. Pioneer winger Mike Handza got behind the Seawolves' defense and was all alone in the slot for a pass from defenseman Jussi Halme. From there, Handza had time to make one deke before backhanding the puck past Lawson at 9:37 of the first.
"It gets old having the video session after games and it's full of negatives. We keep seeing the same mistakes," Hill said. "It's all mental. As soon as this group begins to mentally prepare for games we'll do better."
The second period saw a much tighter style employed by both teams, and a much improved defensive game from the Seawolves. Lawson thwarted a couple of DU chances, including one sensational glove save against DU's Luke Fulghum, who victimized Lawson for three goals the previous night, on a breakaway.
Good forechecking by Alaska-Anchorage put the Seawolves in position to tie the game. Forwards Lee Green and Ales Parez were pinching off a passing lane in the Pioneer zone when Denver forward Geoff Paukovich fell to the ice and lost the puck. Parez pounced on the puck and drove in on Denver netminder Peter Mannino, ripping a top-shelf goal to tie the game 1-1.
"They performed well tonight. They showed a lot more aggression and took a lot of our transition game away," said Gwozdecky about the improved play of the Seawolves.
Mannino agreed that the Pioneers expected, and received, a better all-around game from Alaska-Anchorage.
"We were prepared. We knew they were going to come out hard," Mannino said. "They're a good team. They showed that tonight."
Denver had a couple of power-play chances late in the second period, but unlike the first game of the series, the Pioneers couldn't convert and had some difficulty setting up in the Seawolves' end. Alaska-Anchorage's penalty killers closed off passing lanes and disrupted shots to kill both man-advantage opportunities.
In the third period, however, the Pioneers converted their first power-play goal of the night when Gauthier redirected a Paul Stastny pass into the UAA net to put DU up 2-1. While Denver attempted to take hold of the game, the Seawolves kept up their aggressive attack and generated solid scoring chances throughout the final period.
"[Alaska-Anchorage] battled hard and beat us to loose pucks," said Drummond. "They outmuscled us."
Mannino was steady in net despite the barrage and kept the Seawolves from tying the game. But with 1:01 remaining, Parez took a drop pass from just outside the left faceoff circle and launched a floating shot that fooled Mannino and tied the game at 2.
"Matt Carle came down to block [the shot] and I did the same thing," Mannino said. "I got kind of screened and lost it."
Now that the Seawolves had new life and Lawson was playing with confidence, the capacity crowd in Denver held its breath for overtime. Both teams furiously tried to control the puck, but it was the Pioneers who made the most of their chances when they had possession in the UAA end. At the 2:38 mark of overtime the win became official.
"I respect our league's officials and the officials on the ice," said Hill. "The official told me he was 100 percent conclusive that it was a goal. Denver deserves the win. We'll live with it."
Gwozdecky was happy with his team's overtime effort. "We knew if we could pursue them hard in their own zone deep, we'd be able to create a lot of chances on the transition."
Mannino also noted the support he received from teammates late in the game as a factor in the win and his confidence in the overtime period.
"We wanted both wins really bad," said Mannino (10-2-0). "I think our guys played incredible and that's all you can ask for as a goalie."

Barcelona was the location for the Bevan's October 2005 holiday.
We stayed in a small apartment close to the beach at Barceloneta, and the marinas. It proved a great base from which to explore the city.
We paid visits to the Gaudi monuments; La Pedrera, Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia, as well as the stadium at Montjuic and other 1992 Olympic sites.
One of our best days, however, was taking a train ride to the spectacular monastery at Monserrat.

Year Produced: 2004
NASA Kids Science News segment explaining how wind tunnels work and what they do.
NASA Kids Science News Network™ is a news-style standards-based program that uses the Web, animation, and video to introduce science, technology, engineering, math, and NASA concepts. NASA's KSNN™ uses animated characters (grades K-2) and Web and video technology (grades 3-5) to explain everyday phenomena of our world, correct misconceptions, and answer frequently asked questions.For more information visit: http://ksnn.larc.nasa.gov/home.html
Hi, I'm RJ with more KSNN
technology news you can use.
What is a wind tunnel?
A wind tunnel
is a tubelike structure
used to test different types
of airplanes.
Wind tunnels make air
move past an airplane
just like it's really flying
through the air.
A big fan usually makes the wind
that moves past the plane.
Wow, wind tunnels must really
be big to hold a whole plane.
NASA has some of the largest
wind tunnels in the world.
NASA even has small tunnels
to test scale model planes
before the real aircraft
is built.
This saves a lot of time
and money.
Wind tunnels work so well that
no aircraft is built or flown
until tested in a wind tunnel.
Can they test anything else
besides aircraft
in wind tunnels?
Yes, they even test race cars
and Mars spacecrafts.

Midtown Alliance is the driving force behind Midtown Atlanta's growing reputation as a top-tier business, leisure and residential destination. Our organization has a long track record of proactive planning, development assistance, and project implementation – all of which contribute to Midtown's emergence as a premier urban center.
The planning and urban design team at Midtown Alliance is the liaison between the private sector and the public realm and provides staff support to the Midtown Development Review Committee. We assist the development community with the design of high-quality projects consistent with the goals of the Blueprint master plan. We provide a wide array of development resources including economic data, maps, demographics, development trends, zoning consultation, design guidelines and other information to aid the private sector in the build-out of a livable, sustainable Midtown Atlanta.
Our commitment to delivering a high-quality urban environment has generated solid planning work in core focus areas such as land use, transportation and sustainability, and it provides the basis for our successful capital improvements program. These capital projects have transformed Midtown's major corridors with the construction of new sidewalks and bicycle facilities, decorative lighting, street trees, landscaping, improved crosswalks, and traffic signal management - all of which reinforce the district's strong urban identity.
Midtown Alliance continues to implement capital improvements and sponsor major planning efforts to maintain and enhance the district.
It all began in 1997 with an innovative community-based planning process known as Blueprint Midtown. Spearheaded by Midtown Alliance and strengthened by direct input from thousands of Midtown stakeholders, the Blueprint is a comprehensive master plan to promote economic development and enrich the quality of life in Midtown. It led to the creation of the Midtown Improvement District and was the impetus behind the single largest rezoning legislation in City of Atlanta history. To this day, the Blueprint continues to provide the framework for a broad range of programs and projects designed to attract new mixed-use development, manage transportation needs, ensure public safety, address environmental maintenance needs and implement a pedestrian-oriented public improvements such as streetscapes, parks and plazas.
Blueprint Midtown II
This 2003 update to the original Blueprint master plan focuses on retail, open space and walkability. It spurred an ongoing focus on developing the Peachtree corridor as a major shopping destination with 14 consecutive blocks of street-level retail from The Fox Theatre to the Woodruff Arts Center.
This vision for a million square feet of retail on Peachtree Street is well on its way. To date, more than 750,000 square feet of retail space has been delivered along the corridor, which is home to an interesting mix of unique shops and restaurants, some of which you won't find anywhere else in Atlanta.
Jointly led by Midtown Alliance (MA) and Central Atlanta Progress/Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (CAP/ADID) in 2011, this comprehensive effort developed a bold vision for the I-75/85 Connector between I-20 and the Brookwood Interchange. The planning process included public sector leaders from the City of Atlanta and Georgia Department of Transportation, a Leadership Team of Downtown and Midtown stakeholders, and a Creative Team of local design professionals. The first phase resulted in a strategic plan that defines opportunities to enhance the Connector in ways that both improve its appearance and create a positive economic impact for the City, nearby businesses, institutions, and destinations. Work has now progressed toward developing detailed designs, creating partnerships to facilitate implementation, and securing funding for enhancement projects. Funding was recently secured for enhancements of the two Peachtree Street bridges spanning the Connector.
In 2012, Midtown Alliance completed a sustainability action plan called Greenprint Midtown that established a vision and framework for meeting current market demands for greener living in a district that is vibrant, walkable and transit-rich. Through extensive community input and technical analysis, the Greenprint outlined a series of recommended programs and initiatives in the areas of energy, transportation, open space, water, and waste. Successful implementation of this plan requires the participation of every sector of the community – residents, businesses, property owners, and employees. The collective efforts of the community around sustainability are being captured as part of the Midtown EcoDistrict.

of George Hacker
Director, Alcohol Policies Project
June 12, 1997
FCC Commissioner Rachelle Chong today requested that FCC Chairman Reed Hundt remove a draft Notice of Inquiry regarding broadcast liquor advertising from the agenda of the Commission's June 19 meeting. That obstructionist action amounts to the latest diversion from the FCC's responsibility to assure that broadcast licensees use public airwaves to serve the public interest.
If the potential impact of liquor ads on children does not raise questions concerning broadcasters' public interest responsibilities, then what does? It's truly amazing that any Commissioner would duck the issue, refusing even to undertake an investigation that would include consideration of the Commission's jurisdiction to take specific remedial actions or make appropriate recommendations to Congress.
Distillers' longstanding voluntary ban on broadcast liquor ads occurred on this Commission's watch. Commissioner Chong's delaying tactic puts the interests of broadcasters and liquor marketers above those of children. Rather than block a vote on Chairman Hundt's draft Notice of Inquiry, maybe she should just leave.

|Finance expert discusses crisis in banking industry
The sub-prime mortgage crisis has sent the banking and financial services industry into a downturn that has caused the collapse of some of Wall Street's perennial heavyweights and the subsequent $700 million government bailout of the nation's financial markets.
To provide some insight into the state of the banking industry Knowledge Link sat down with banking expert G. Andrew Karolyi, the Charles R. Webb Designated Professor of Finance.
KL: What are some of the key initiatives that need to be implemented to turn the industry around and get the bad securities off the books of these institutions?
Karolyi: First and foremost they have to get an accurate evaluation of the non-performing loans and troubled assets that are on their books. Once they have a clear sense of the intrinsic value of these assets then they can decide strategically how to dispose of them. Clearly in a distressed form they are going to have to make some concessions.
Then, the banks can strategically dispose of them and write them down or absorb them into other entities. In the next 12 to 18 months, there maybe some form of consolidation in a lot of banks, especially those with regional footprints. Part of the asset disposable process will swallow them up into other entities where some banks will buy other banks as well as buying other assets.
KL: What effect will the government bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have on investors?
Karolyi: The bailout plan was an extraordinary rescue package that will likely go down as one of the most expensive bailouts in United States financial history. The markets have been waiting and wondering for some time about the extent to which the implicit "too big to fail" promise for Fannie and Freddie was good. On Sept. 8, we saw a positive resolution of uncertainty, especially among financials.
With $5.5 trillion worth of U.S. mortgages on the line, it is hard to have imagined any other course of action. But, my worry is there will be a sober hangover from the euphoria when we learn to what extent this is going to burden taxpayers in the long run. I am also curious as to what will happen when the two institutions start tapping freely into their respective $100 billion facilities and the next wave, if any, of mortgage-related write-downs arrive on our doorsteps.
KL: Private equity firms and hedge funds have been very active while banks have been hurting financially, how will this change these corporations?
Karolyi: That is an interesting dynamic, because we do not always know who these investors are. We are seeing private equity investors identify really interesting opportunities that are almost potentially taking advantage of the fears and anxiety a lot of investors have in these banks. They are seeing an opportunity to step in and take large positions where they would not otherwise. You wonder how much this is going to change the face of these organizational structures. The fact that these large potentially active private equity investors are trying to exert some control on these banks is something that we really haven't experienced and don't really know what kind of dynamic will stem from that.
KL: In the end, what effect will this crisis have on consumers and firms who want to borrow money?
Karolyi: One of the counter-arguments to consolidation is it creates scale economies that lower the cost of providing services. Many customers fear that services will not be provided as effectively as they would otherwise because it is a way to save money or that certain regions will not be accommodated. I think that there is too much competitive pressure in this industry for the services to fall off too far.
Banks retrench in down phases to prepare themselves for the up phase in the economy. If you can image seeing through the downstage of the economic cycle we are in now, try to imagine for an intermediate term what the consequences will be for consumers and depositors of banks. I don't see that they are going to suffer from any of this consolidation or the terms and conditions in which loans are being extended.

Samsung officially announces which of its devices will get Android 4.4 KitKat updates
Many smartphone makers have already made their Android 4.4 KitKat update plans official, but so far the biggest of them all has stayed mum. That changes today, though, since Samsung has finally decided to shed some light on its plans.
The Korean giant has made it clear which devices will get the coveted update, but there are a couple of catches. First, though, the good news. You're in luck if you own a Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III, Galaxy S III Mini, Galaxy Mega, Galaxy Light, Galaxy Note 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3, Galaxy Note 10.1, and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
All of these devices are set to get KitKat at some point. In the US, rollouts will start today. Previously, some (but not all) versions of the Galaxy Note 3 sold internationally got updated.
The list above applies only to US-released devices, though. Furthermore, "select" carrier versions of these handsets and tablets will get updated. That means that your carrier has the final word, and if it doesn't want to issue an update, Samsung can't force it to. We're also assuming that rollout timelines will be heavily influenced by carriers and carrier testing especially.
So while there is hope that all of the variants of the aforementioned devices will be running KitKat one day, it's not impossible that some would be left out by a carrier or two.
Given the US focus of this list, you probably shouldn't assume that internationally sold variations of some of those devices will receive the new software too. It definitely could happen, but keep in mind that Samsung hasn't confirmed anything like that – not yet, at least.

When Ubuntu 12.04 starts on my X201T the touchscreen works fine, I can touch anywhere and the mouse will appear there. However once I log in to the desktop the touchscreen starts acting like a touchpad. if I touch the screen it acts like a permanent left click, and if I move my finger on the left side of the screen with the mouse on the right, it will follow my motions with a slightly larger motion, much like a touchpad on high sensitivity. Touching in random locations does not make the mouse appear (or jump to a new location like a miscalibrated screen).
Any ideas?

Senate Republicans Still Haven't Decided Whether to Let Marriage Equality Come to a Vote
Because now that it might actually pass, why risk it?
GOP conference leader Dean Skelos once pledged to allow a marriage-equality vote go to the floor and let his members vote their conscience. But that was back when it didn't seem like it would actually pass. Now that it's one official vote away, with a handful more up in the air, why risk it? [NY1]

It will be a "Divergent" weekend at the box office. It is now just a matter of how much it makes. It banked $4.9 million already with the Thursday showings and is set to dominate this weekend. It is getting a jump domestically, noted The Hollywood Reporter. It will be released internationally on April 4.
Even though "Frozen" made the bulk of its money in 2013, it is still grabbing headlines. As it pushes its way to the top ten of all time (not including inflation), the DVD release flew off the shelves, too. Meanwhile, the 2014 box office is already over $2 billion and up more than 8 percent from last year at this time.
Now comes "Divergent" starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ashley Judd and Kate Winslet. Based on the book by Veronica Roth, "Divergent" will try to snare the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" crowd. That will happen and a drawback could be the comparisons. The comparison with plot for "Hunger Games" and the popularity of the first "Twilight." That has been the back story and if it can overcome that and stand on its own, then who knows how far or low it goes.
Oh, "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" are from Lionsgate. "Divergent" is, you guessed it, Lionsgate. So, the comparisons, fair or not, will be there. It will be sad if it hits a certain amount and still be called a disappointment. It will demolish "Muppets Most Wanted."
1. "Divergent" - 3,936 theaters
2. "Muppets Most Wanted" - 3,194 theaters
3. "God's Not Dead" - 780 theaters
4. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" - 304 theaters (expands)
5. "Nymphomaniac: Volume I" - 25 theaters
Not districts (as in "Hunger Games") here, but rather factions, "Divergent" seeks to empower those who do not conform. A gloomy Chicago backdrop is used and the tone is dark but the message is clear for those who seek it. Seeking peace is downright violent and must be done with force and mind control. A "Divergent" mind is, therefore, dangerous.
"Divergent" is review proof, at least for the first weekend and the pre-sales have been strong and the audience, primarily females, is the demographic. As the NCAA men's basketball tournament shoots into the first full weekend, that female audience will not be daunted. They will show up and see this film. It will be the book that drives them, not reviews, good or bad. It has been the males and females that have been the target so far this year, so enter the younger females once more.
Speaking of those Muppets, All all-star cast teams up with them in "Muppets Most Wanted." Does the plot actually matter for these? Nope, nor does a long-winded write up. They are the Muppets. Let's move on.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is enjoying a slow roll-out and a fantastic one, too. It has been written about right here as well. But, it is a nice sidebar so far in the movie season.

It is well known that it's possible to fool Fermat test with Carmichael numbers. But, is it possible to deliberately fool many-rounded Miller-Rabin test by constructing some special number without using brute forcing strategy? I know that one round of Miller-Rabin distinguish with probability 25% that number is prime, but for many rounds brute force will become infeasible.

In fact even brute force does not work, unless you know what random numbers the Miller-Rabin test will use to test the numbers, because in case of each possible non-prime number, some Miller-Rabin test input will reveal it is composite.
FIPS 186-4 C.3 contains recommended Miller-Rabin number of rounds to use to test the numbers. Those amounts of Miller-Rabin tests are expected to catch composite numbers with overwhelmingly large probability. The document contains useful information about Miller-Rabin and how test is supposed to (probabilistically) protect from this attack (fooling it with composite numbers).

Jonjo Shelvey has explained why the 2012-13 campaign was the most defining of his career to date and believes working under Brendan Rodgers has made him a better player.
Liverpool's No.33 made more first-team appearances than ever before - 32 - scored some memorable goals in Europe and made his England debut.
"I think this has been one of the most important [seasons] in my career so far," Shelvey told Liverpoolfc.com.
"The last three months has been a bit stop-start for me. The first part of the season I was enjoying my football but the last three months I haven't been because I haven't had as much game time as I would have liked.
"I suppose looking back I have played a few games in the first team, had some crazy moments and good moments. I would say it has been a good season for me personally.
"I made my England debut as well and I have learnt a new way of playing football with the new manager coming in. The defensive side of your game helps your attacking side so I feel I have learned that.
"It's nice to have a manager like Brendan who plays the young lads and has trust in you to go out and prove yourself."
Shelvey netted four goals for the Reds during their Europa League run, including a memorable header at Anfield against Udinese - and it is his European form which has given the midfielder most satisfaction.
Explaining his best moment of 2012-13, Shelvey added: "Probably the two goals I scored against Young Boys.
"Coming off the bench to get the two goals was good but then the following Saturday I was sent off against Manchester United so it was a bit of a rollercoaster week.
"I would have liked to have scored more goals, to be honest. I had some good chances to get more but there's only Hendo and Stevie who have got more goals from midfield than me, so that's good."
Regarding his hopes for next season and the areas of his game he feels he can improve on, Shelvey insists he is eager to get the chance to become a regular in the first XI at Anfield.
He added: "I think sometimes I've got to be calm and cool it down on the pitch because I'm quite aggressive, but then again if I take that out of my game then I wouldn't be the same player.
"You can have people telling you 'You can't do that and can't do this', but they are not on the pitch so they don't know what it feels like to be on the pitch.
"I just need to get a run in the team and play 10 games on the spin when I don't come out of the team."
On Liverpool's hopes in 2013-14, Shelvey believes there is no reason why the Reds can't make a concerted fight for a top-four finish and return to the Champions League.
He said: "I think progress has been made. We had a few draws last season and if we could have turned them into wins we would have been looking at a third- or fourth-place finish, but I think next season that will happen.
"This has been a rebuilding season with a new manager coming in and getting his style across, and I think the players are picking up more and more each day.
"I think the manager will hopefully bring us a couple more players in that will get us some more goals and obviously we need to replace Carra.
"You can't replace the man but if he brings in a few more players and gets us more attacking style then I think we can finish in the top four."

Heed the warningJuly 20,2013
Heed the warning
Equality, and pay equality specifically, has been an American debate for centuries. In 1963 the people of Vermont passed the Fair Employment Act, outlawing pay discrimination, and yet 40-plus years later women in Vermont were earning just 84 cents per dollar earned by men. Vermont citizens were overwhelmingly in favor of equal pay, and with a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate, Gov. Shumlin signed it into law.
The new law ties up some of the loopholes in Vermonts previous equal pay initiatives. Employers now must have business reasons for paying workers unequal wages. New protections for working mothers have been included.
Surprising to myself, and some residents of Vermont, was the opposition shown by the GOP. Nearly half of the House Republicans voted against equal pay, showing just how out of touch with the desires of Vermont residents they are.
Although this is a victory, and a step forward for Vermont, it is also an ominous reminder of the importance of a strong democratic presence in Montpelier.

San Francisco readers may have noticed a flurry of letters to the wine section of the Chronicle recently about one of this wine drinker's favorite topics: corkage policies.
Specifically, these letters address a controversy (stirred in part by a quote from Vinography in the paper a few weeks ago) over the fact that Pizzeria Delfina, the new venture by Craig and Annie Stoll, does not allow diners to bring their own wine.
I'm very pleased to see that this topic has been of interest and has fueled some public debate on the subject. If you'd like to catch up on the story, here's a series of links to help you do that:
The original mention in the Inside Scoop section of the Wine pages. (You'll find it halfway down through the column.
Another mention of the controversy.
It's amazing to me how many of the letters in response to this issue really miss the whole point of the discussion, though, at least from my point of view. Partially that's due to the fact that the mention in the Chronicle was brief, and didn't fully express my argument (perhaps it didn't fully express Craig Stoll's argument either), so I thought I'd give it a little more space here on Vinography and perhaps clear up some of the misperceptions that people have about the issues at stake here.
Here's the background. Stoll has two restaurants side by side:
One is a pizzeria that serves excellent pizza (see my review) and where diners get out for around $25 a person without any wine if they order an appetizer and dessert. There are (if my memory serves me correctly) about two dozen or so wines on the list, all of which are less than $40, some of them considerably less. Additionally, if you like, you are able to order any wine off the main wine list of the restaurant next door. You are not allowed to bring your own wine to this restaurant.
The second restaurant (literally 15 feet away, next door), is, of course, Delfina. An endlessly popular (and rightfully so) San Francisco dining institution that serves great rustic, yet refined Italian food. Here, prices are higher and diners usually get out for around $50 to $70 per person without wine. There is a decent wine list with lots of Italian selections ranging from inexpensive to high-end. Here, there is a corkage fee of $20.
So here's the debate. Why should the pizzeria have a zero corkage tolerance policy, when right next door (same owner, presumably same wine director, presumably same wine distributors, presumably same wine cellar) diners are free to bring their own wine for a modest charge of $20?
Many of the letters to the Chronicle and indeed, even Craig Stoll himself in an e-mail to me after I mentioned my shock at his policy, imply that this is an issue of economics, of a restauranteur's survival in a hard line of business. The argument goes something like this: Stoll should be able to do whatever he needs to in order to make a profit, including preventing penny pinching wine lovers from bringing their own bottles rather than buying one of the modestly priced bottles on the Pizzeria's list.
I call bullshit.
These arguments are so preposterous and illogical because THE ENTIRE POINT of having a corkage fee is to ensure that the restaurant owner makes the profit they need to when diners bring their own wine. Everyone who knows about even the most basic economics of the restaurant business is aware that the biggest margins are in the bar and the wine cellar. Most restaurants simply calculate the average profit that they make on most bottles of wine on their list, round up to the nearest five dollars and set the corkage fee at that price. That way, when some wine lover walks in with their bottle of wine, whether it is Yellow Tail or an '82 Latour, the restaurant will make at least as much money or even more than they would had that person ordered a normal bottle of wine off the list.
It's that simple and it's purely a business calculation for most restaurants. Some restaurants go so far as to put their corkage fee very high (say $50 at the French Laundry) to dissuade customers from bringing their own wines, but even those restaurants know that if someone does bring a bottle, they will not go out of business because of it.
So the second argument here, and the line that Stoll took with the Chronicle when he was interviewed for this story, is that it's his restaurant, his concept of matching food and wine, and he should be able to do whatever he wants.
This is absolutely true. There's no law saying that Stoll has to allow outside wine to his restaurant. He's the owner/chef he gets to make the rules. Even, apparently, if the rules are totally stupid and ultimately a bad business decision.
Before we talk about this from a purely subjective point of view, let's look at it objectively from the standpoint of a business decision. If we take for a given that Stoll wants his restaurant to be profitable and successful, and that profit and success come from more people visiting the restaurant rather than less, having an anti-corkage policy makes zero sense, because it ultimately means that you will alienate some (even if it is just a small portion) of your potential customer base.
This isn't some whiny argument from a wine geek who thinks his wines are better than what he can get at the restaurant. I'm going to continue to go there because I like the food, but the reality is that the there are some people who simply won't. How can it make business sense to drive those people away when you could be charging them a $25 corkage fee (which incidentally is probably twice the profit that the restaurant makes on ANY of the bottles it has for sale at the pizzeria)? It boggles the mind.
So what it comes down to is Stoll simply wanting only certain wines to be served with his pizza. Which is fine, conceptually -- he has some vision as a restauranteur for what he wants the experience to be. But it's rather silly, especially considering that 99% of the other restaurants in the city (fast food chains and taquerias aside) allow you to bring your own wine. Those of you in San Francisco, help me out here. Can you think of any other restaurant in this city, or even in the entire Bay Area that serves wine but has a no corkage policy? I can't.
At the end of the day, as one letter writer to the chronicle pointed out, bringing your own wine to a restaurant is a privilege, not a right. But when every other place in town lets you do it, finding a place that doesn't feels like a slap in the face. To me, Stoll comes out of this looking, instead of like someone with a unique vision for a dining experience, rather like someone who just wants his way, no matter what the facts of the matter are.
His prerogative, our loss.

HTC announces US-only Evo 3D handset
Mar 22nd
HTC has launched its first mobile phone with a 3D screen, using the same glasses-less, auto-stereoscopic technology featured on the Nintendo 3DS console.
The HTC Evo 3D, which is a US-only release and likely to remain that way, enables 3D movies, 3D games and the ability to capture and view 3D pictures and video in HD.
The Evo 3D looks like somewhat of a super-phone with 4.3-inch, 960×540 screen that's almost as detailed as the iPhone 4′s Retina Screen, a dual-core Snapdragon 1.2GHz processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
4G too? Yep
The Evo 3D will run on the Sprint Network's 4G WiMax network, for super-fast mobile broadband and will house a whopping 1730mAh battery to keep things going underneath the hood.
There's also dual five-megapixel cameras that can shoot 720p 3D video and 1080p 2D video.
Like the 3DS, users can turn the 3D-effect on and off with a switch, or move the content to a 3D ready TV using a HDMI cable.
The device, due out this summer, is part of the continuing Sprint-HTC hook-up and is unlikely to make it to the UK, but we'd be hopeful of seeing the same 3D tech housed in a future release.

Disabled woman's fury over handset 'promise' [Gloucestershire Echo (England)]

Disabled woman's fury over handset 'promise' [Gloucestershire Echo (England)]
(Gloucestershire Echo (England) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) DISABLED pensioner Martha Edwards is furious following a row with a mobile phone shop.
The retired social researcher claims 3 Mobile kept her waiting two hours when she tried to change her handset.
Martha, who has arthritis in her hands, bought a new handset and was told she could swap it if it was not suitable.
She claims the store agreed over the phone that Martha could exchange it for the bigger Samsung Galaxy s9000.
When Martha, 63, went to get the new, more expensive phone, the manager said he knew nothing of the agreement.
The Samsung Galaxy s9000 is a popular handset and no retailers currently give it away.
The phone is available on contract with the major suppliers.
Martha said: "To me, they promised something and went back on it and that's wrong. You don't do that to somebody." Martha was infuriated as she had asked the assistant to confirm the deal would go-ahead several times over the phone.
She arranged to make a two-hour round trip to Cheltenham when he was working. But Martha said when she arrived the manager refused to allow the deal to go through.
Martha, who originally comes from America, said: "I asked the shop assistant if he needed to write it down because I was worried this might happen.
He said it would be fine.
"They made a commitment.
To me, a verbal agreement is the same as a written one, especially when it is repeated." After offering Martha alternatives they eventually told her if she wanted the phone but didn't want to pay a higher monthly tariff, she would have to buy the phone separately.
She said: "I said I wouldn't mind paying a bit towards the phone but they wanted Pounds 380.
"I told them 'you've got to be nuts' I can't afford it." Despite being a customer for a number of years, Martha has now had her contract cancelled with immediate effect.
She has since found the phone cheaper online but wants to highlight her experience.
3 Mobile declined to comment when contacted by the Echo yesterday.

Handset upgrades keep consumers buying
Jan 31st
The global mobile phone market grew 17.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 as consumers ditched their old phones and opted for one of the many new affordable smartphones appearing in the market.
"Mobile phone users are eager to swap out older devices for ones that handle data as well as voice, which is driving growth and replacement cycles," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker.
Device shipments rose to 401.4 million units in 2010′s fourth quarter, up from 2009′s fourth quarter figures of around 340.5 million shipments.
In the western world there is a strong consumer movement towards smartphones, but in emerging markets low-cost feature phone makers such as China's ZTE are seeing their piece of the pie expand.
ZTE leapfrogged over handset makers such as Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Research in Motion (RIM) to claim the number 4 position worldwide for the first time during the quarter – but analysts with IDC are not sure how long the company will retain its current position.
"Change-up among the number four and five vendors could be a regular occurrence this year," said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team in a report released January 27.
"Motorola, Research In Motion, and Sony Ericsson, all vendors with a tight focus on the fast-growing smartphone market who had ranked among the top five worldwide vendors during 2010 are well within striking distance to move back into the top five list."
Consumers in the market for a new mobile phone will continue to be seduced by the extra features found on smartphones in the years to come says IDC. This trend will boost smartphone submarket shipments by 43.7 percent year over year in 2011.
In the Asia-Pacific region low-cost feature phones and high-end smartphones flew off the shelves. Smartphones were exceedingly popular in Korea, accounting for two-thirds of phones shipped during the fourth quarter of 2010.
The iPhone 4 HTC Desire, Nokia N8, Samsung Galaxy S and BlackBerry 8520 were Western Europe's top-selling handsets.
Apple and RIM lead the mobile phone market in the United States while smartphones from Nokia RIM, Samsung and Huawei helped boost the current social networking and messaging trends in Latin America.

2. Samsung – 20.1%
3. LG Electronics – 7.6%

Track 17: "Fire Burns"
Sounds Like: One of Pink Friday v. 1.0′s lusher pop tracks (think "Moment 4 Life"): in this case, a breakup song sung as painedly as its lyrics.
Pros: Every artist needs midtempo tracks and comedowns, and "Fire Burns" is more than sufficient in both regards. It just sounds great, made of piston percussion and sighing synths and faraway backing vocals. The chord change beneath the title's especially gorgeous. In other words, we're closer to R&B balladry than Roman ferocity, and the former's standards would very much pass a line like "I hope you lay down in your sleep and you choke on every lie you told."
Cons: For every line like that, there's a couplet like "This is a sickening joke that you play with my emotions / I pray you burn in hell and you never find the ocean." The music actually cuts out here, and it's probably meant to deliver the punchline but comes off more like the track's skulking away, embarrassed.
Roman Rating: 0/10. Roman would handle this breakup a lot differently. Maybe Nicki should've made this a double album, something along the lines of Roman / Reloaded?
WTF Moment?: Think too much about burning in hell and finding the ocean, and you'll probably WTF. Isn't hell supposed to be a lake of fire, anyway? We're overanalyzing this.
Previous Reviews: "Roman Holiday," "Come On A Cone," "I Am Your Leader," "Beez in the Trap," "HOV Lane," "Roman Reloaded," "Champion," "Right By My Side," "Sex in the Lounge," "Starships," "Pound the Alarm," "Whip It," "Automatic," "Beautiful Sinner," "Marilyn Monroe," "

18 April 2012
No one, especially not a child should have to go through what a 17-year-old Soweto girl went through at the hands of a group of depraved boys, (some of them are old enough to be called men but dont deserve the dignity associated with the ideal). Words cannot describe the outrage, anger and disgust felt by the ANCWL regarding this incident where a mentally disabled child was gang raped and then the video footage of the sadistic incident distributed on the internet and via cell phones.
The ANCWL met with the MEC of safety and security, Cde Faith Mazibuko, and spent the day with police in Soweto while the search for the missing girl was on-going. We were extremely relieved when she was found alive and safe by police. We would like to commend the swift action taken by police in arresting the culprits and the dedication to finding the missing girl. She was found in the custody of a 37 year-old-man who claimed to be her boyfriend. This man claims the girl told him she was 19; however the womens league believes this is no excuse for engaging in sexual activities with a mentally disabled child half his age. This man is the most vulgar kind of exploiter, he used this vulnerable child for his own perverse activities and only decided to hand her over when he knew police were in his neighbourhood and hot on his tail. This child is said to have the mental capacity of a five-year-old and is therefore not capable of consent, this man must face the full might of the law and be charged with rape.
This incident also raises questions about the society we are living in and the way boy children are being raised. Parents need to take responsibility for their children. The youngest suspect was just 14-years-old, parents need to instil morals and a strong sense of right and wrong in their children. When does it become acceptable amongst a group of peers to rape a girl and laugh about it? It just makes one sick to the stomach. It also brings attention to the technology available to young children, parents need to be the parents and check their childrens phones regularly, and deal out suitable punishment when unsavoury content is found on the phones, so children know what they are doing is wrong and unacceptable. The ANCWL would like to commend the mother who did just that and brought the incident to the attention of the police after discovering the video clip on her sons phone.
The suspects will be appearing in the Roodepoort court tomorrow and the Womens League will be there to ensure justice is served. These suspects must all get the harshest punishment the law will allow, and the ANCWL will be there to monitor the case and ensure this poor, vulnerable child who was disgustingly exploited gets to see justice handed down to those responsible.

Dec. 1, 2004
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
AMHERST, Mass. - Rashaun Freeman (Schenectady, N.Y.) and Anthony Anderson (Lynn, Mass.) scored 18 and 17 points, respectively, but it was not enough as Northeastern took an 84-68 win from UMass in the Mullins Center on Wednesday night.
The loss was the first for UMass this season as the Minutemen fall to 2-1. Northeastern improves to 2-2 on the year.
The Huskies received stand-out performances from Marcus Barnes and Jose Juan Barea, the nation's leading scorer, who scored 21 and 22 points, respectively. Aaron Davis and Bennett Davis each reached double-figures with 13 and 11 points.
For Freeman, his 18 points and 11 rebounds were his 13th career double-double.
Anderson's 17 point performance was a season-high and moved him into 30th-place on the all-time scoring list with 1,044 points.
Northeastern jumped out to an early lead for most of the first half, as Barnes and Barea combined for 27 points leading the Huskies to a 46-37 half-time lead.
A Bobby Kelly dunk gave the Huskies an 18-8 lead over UMass with 13:11 remaining in the half. UMass committed 13 of its 19 turnovers in the first-half; miscues which Northeastern turned into 24 points for the game.
UMass took its first lead of the game at 4:19 in the half on an Anderson fast break lay-up capping an 11-0 run which gave the Minutemen a 30-29 edge.
Northeastern, however, responded with a 17-7 run of its own to close the half capped by a Barea buzzer-beating three-point shot.
The Minutemen opened the second half with a 13-3 run led by Stephane Lasme (Libreville, Gabon) and Freeman who each hit two jumpers in the streak.
Maurice Maxwell's (Philadelphia, Pa.) three-pointer at 14:20 put UMass up 55-52 it's largest lead of the game.
After the Huskies took a five point lead on a Barnes three pointer, the Minutemen went on a 12-to-4 run taking a 67-64 lead on a Jeff Viggiano (Suffield, Conn.) lay-up.
Barea scored six of his 24 points and Aaron Davis hit two of his three trey's in the final 6:05 as the Huskies ended the game on a 17-1 run.
UMass will head to Washington to face Gonzaga on Saturday for the `Battle In Seattle.' The game will tip at 4:00 p.m. (EST) and will air nationally on CSTV. The Minutemen will next play at home when they face the defending national champions UConn (12/9). That game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

Emma Watson has become one of the most in-demand celebrities on the planet, and this is in addition to being a full-time college student at an Ivy League school. Yet, according to an April 3 story by The Huffington Post, the A-list star is also a certified yoga instructor. It is almost impossible to imagine how the star manages to find the time to balance all of her competing interests. Yet, according to comments she made in an interview, it seems this is a challenge that she enjoys.
But when I finish my degree, I will have a lot more time to pursue other passions, and I want to figure out what those will be. I love having something completely unrelated to the film industry. I want to find something that will let me use my brain in another way." - Emma Watson
While many actors spend their entire lives doing nothing else than refining their acting skills, Emma Watson has indicated that this is not going to be her long term plan. Rather, she seems to desire to be a modern Renaissance woman. Considering her academic success and creative talents, it seems that she just may have the talent needed to pull it off.

Bentley has long argued that its cars are driven, and not just enjoyed from the back seats. This new Mulliner Driving Specification for the Mulsanne is likely to be a hit then, as the £13,410 option not only brings styling changes inside and out, but also the promise of improved driving dynamics with sport-tuned suspension and steering.
'Sport' might sound odd in a luxury saloon weighing over 2.5 tonnes, but this car's 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers 505bhp and 1,018Nm. The Mulliner option does nothing to boost those outputs; instead Bentley's engineers have concentrated on tweaking the chassis to boost driver appeal.
On the road, the changes to the suspension and steering are difficult to spot. Explore the car's drive control settings – which comprise Comfort, Bentley, Sport or Custom – and you'll subtly step up the amount of weight in the steering, without any corresponding increase in feel.
Move up through the modes and the suspension will resist roll a bit more, and be slightly less settled over less than perfect road surfaces, but the differences aren't significant. Still, while the option doesn't affect the way the car drives that much, buyers will get a few smart visual tweaks over the standard model.
The knurled finishes on the door handles, gearlever and air vent controls are a classy touch, as is the diamond-quilted leather on the seats. Outside, Mulliner flying B badges mounted on the front wings are new; so are the two-part 21-inch alloy wheels, complete with titanium fasteners.
So although the Mulliner Driving Specification Mulsanne is no sports saloon, it has more of an edge while retaining its supreme comfort and refinement. This is a must-have, and in the world of £225,900 cars, it's good value.

As in previous seasons, a lot of speculation surrounded which stars would appear on season 18 of "Dancing With the Stars", and that was put to rest as the cast was revealed on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, March 4. The celebrity cast, which runs the gamut from champion athletes to television and movie stars, includes:
Amy Purdy
Danica McKellar
Cody Simpson
Bille Dee Williams
Diana Nyad
NeNe Leakes
James Maslow
Sean Avery
Drew Carey
Candace Cameron Bure
Charlie White
Meryl Davis
The last two to be revealed, Charlie White and Meryl Davis, not only are both Olympic gold medalists in ice skating, they've also been partners on the ice since they were kids. Able to dance together remarkably on ice, it will be interesting to see how they translate that to ballroom dancing with a new partner squiring them around on the dance floor.
Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad made news last year when she finally realized her dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida, completing the ordeal at the age of 64. Nyad, the first person to complete the swim without benefit of a shark cage, will be facing sharks of a different type when season 18 of DWTS commences on Monday, March 17, 2014 on ABC.

Gunning It Out
December 2, 2011
Tinker With Guns follows up his Derby win with Shootout title at the 2011 NRHA Futurity.
By Larri Jo Starkey
We still don't know what Tinker With Guns can do.
The horse has had a brilliant show season this year, but rider and trainer Andrea Fappani says he has yet to ask Tinker With Guns to give 100 percent.
"This horse is special," Andrea said. "I'm still saving it."
On December 1, Andrea and Tinker With Guns topped a star-studded roster of competitors to score a 231.5 and win the National Reining Horse Association World Championship Shootout in Oklahoma City.
"It was a very deep class (with) a lot of nice horses in it," Andrea said. "This horse has been great for me all year. I showed him quite a few times this year, and he kept getting better every time. I started off by winning the Cactus Classic on him, then we went to the NRBC and I was (third) there. Came here to the (NRHA) Derby and won it. And then I went to the Reining by the Bay and won that derby with a 231. He just kept getting better for me."
After about three months of rest, the horse's owner and breeder, Jim and Pat Warren of Rancho Oso Rio in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Andrea decided to try to get the horse's earnings above $200,000. The 2006 stallion had $197,267 in his bag as he ran into the pen for pattern 10 December 1, and the more than $31,000 he won will easily top $200,000.
"He's a great horse," Andrea said. "This run was a solid run. He's an amazing stopper, so I always count on my stops. I just tried to stay clean everywhere else. He turns really well, too, but on the circles, I always back off, because to me, the circles, when you push a horse as fast as they can go, that's when … you use up your horse. I'm lucky enough that I've got a big stop and big turns on him, so I backed off and tried to be clean, and opened him up in the stops."
Tinker With Guns is a sorrel by Colonels Smoking Gun and out of Tinker Nic by Reminic. He was started by AQHA Professional Horseman Randy Paul then had an injury that kept him out of competition as a 4-year-old. Andrea thinks that long rest is why the horse is so tough now.
