First off I am going to put it out there. I love you Mina's! You are our new "go-to" restaurant on 79th street. Your food is wise, perfect, and I want to eat dinner at your restaurant every night. The 79th street corridor from Biscayne Boulevard east towards North Bay Village and south to around 67th street is an area that could in a few years become a new destination area. The roster in this area includes, Michy's, Blue Collar, Balans, Dogma, Federal and used to include Red Light. It's a little rough at the moment but then again so were Wynwood and Mid-Town.
To start the pita was homemade, warm, delicious and paired with 3 dips we chose. We selected the tzatziki with the perfect blend of cucumber and garlic; baba ghanoug with a nice spice to it and hummus a favorite of the table. We then had the spanakopita which was extremely flaky, tasty and perfect. The Greek salad had a bit of cabbage in it that rose to the occasion and was a nice unique touch. There are many other starters and salads which I hope to have this week, next week heck maybe even the following week. Why stop a great thing?
Our main courses consisted of the mussels a la bourgougne so melt in your mouth, baked beautifully and with crunchy toast included to mop up the sauce. We sampled the Coq Au Vin, a nice twist to the original with perfect gentle pieces of chicken thigh with carrots in a delicate sauce (so yummy), The fish tagine with fennel, potatoes, tomatoes and harissa has instantly become one of my new must haves at a restaurant. The fish was perfectly cooked and the spice excellent. The only miss was the Osso Bucco which was a bit bland and gamey but we met with the owner who told us it is typically its fall off the bone scrumptious; so we promised return and try again. By the way how cool is this, the owners mother is the head chef in the kitchen so it really is home cooking!
The wine and beverage list is good and suits the menu but could use a little depth and some better pairings, but this restaurant is young. (Shameless plug time, Mina's if you need my help let me know!)
Befitting a true 'neighborhood' restaurant the menu has some kid friendly dishes and the pizza is quite tasty. One inspired 8 year old diner said it was his second favorite pizza outside Mama Mia's in Naples FL. Our intrepid junior diner also told our perfect waiter Juan (who did great job) that he liked the restaurant because it was "fancy but not too fancy".
So if you are looking for really good food, with Mediterranean inspiration, and really reasonable price points and a fantastic atmosphere, then head to Mina's. I will be bringing as many people as I can!

disease prevention
lifesaving facts about heart failure with Dr. Charles M. Rhodes
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This makes the heart work harder and eventually leads to the symptoms of heart failure. Individuals with heart failure cannot exert themselves because they become short of breath and exhausted.
Based on data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, at age 40 the lifetime risk of developing heart failure for both men and women is one in five. OLBH cardiologist Charles M. Rhodes, M.D., helps us to understand the causes and risk factors for this life-threatening condition.
Q. What are some of the common causes of heart failure?
Dr. Rhodes: Heart failure is typically caused by blockage of the arteries, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart valve problems, chronic rapid or irregular heart beat, or damage to the heart after a heart attack.
Q. What are the early symptoms of heart failure?
Dr. Rhodes: Individuals should be alerted to symptoms of shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing either when active or when resting. Other symptoms include weakness or fatigue, problems breathing when lying down, waking up at night coughing or short of breath, swollen ankles or feet, chest discomfort, dizziness, and/or a "racing" heart beat.
Q. How is heart failure diagnosed?
Dr. Rhodes: There are a number of valuable tests available at OLBH's Cardiology Department to help determine a possible diagnosis of heart failure. The most important of these tests is the echocardiogram, or an "echo," which tells us how well the patient's heart is pumping.
Dr. Rhodes warns that heart failure is a chronic and progressive disease. "Many people don't even realize they have the condition because its symptoms are often mistaken for signs of aging," Dr. Rhodes added. "Heart failure does not develop overnight - it is a progressive disease that starts slowly and gets worse over time."
With early diagnosis and OLBH's advanced treatment options, people with heart failure are able to continue enjoying their everyday activities and have an improved life expectancy. If you feel you may have an increased risk of heart failure, speak to your physician about how the OLBH Cardiology Department can help you be diagnosed and begin to overcome the condition. If you are in need of a family physician, the OLBH CareLine can refer you to someone who meets your needs; simply call 606-833-CARE (2273) or e-mail email@example.com.
lower your heart disease risk
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart attacks and strokes together account for approximately 40 percent of all deaths. Heart disease, which commonly refers to conditions resulting from cardiovascular disease, can be prevented or postponed by lowering risk factors.
controlling risk factors
Certain risk factors of heart disease cannot be changed, such as heredity, age, race, or gender, but many other contributing factors can be controlled. By working together with a physician, an individual can reduce the risk of heart disease by lifestyle changes and/or the use of medications.
lifestyle changes
Cigarette smoking: Quitting cigarettes is the most important thing a person can do to prevent heart disease. If a person who smokes stops now, their risk of heart disease will begin to decline to the level of a non-smoker within a few years. Cigarettes increase the risk of heart disease in a number of ways. Smoking causes thickening of the blood, which can lead to clots. It raises the level of carbon monoxide in the blood, taking needed oxygen from the heart and other tissues. The nicotine in tobacco also restricts the coronary arteries, raising blood pressure, and causing the heart to work harder.
Elevated cholesterol levels: Most people are familiar with the "good" and "bad" cholesterol. Good cholesterol is HDL, which is associated with a cleansing effect in the blood. Bad cholesterol is LDL, which leaves deposits on the walls of the arteries, slowing the flow of blood and leading to atherosclerosis. Patients can do a great deal to achieve healthier cholesterol levels by controlling their diets. However, cholesterol levels also can be affected by heredity, smoking, and hormones.
Exercise and weight: Regular aerobic exercise tones the heart muscle and helps prevent heart disease. Moderate exercises such as stair climbing or brisk walking also are sufficient to benefit the heart. Exercise lowers cholesterol and blood pressure and is usually associated with weight loss.
High blood pressure: Hypertension can be lowered by exercise, stopping smoking, losing weight, and limiting the use of salt.
If lifestyle changes are not effective in managing the risk factors for heart disease, it may be necessary to add certain medications to lower blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Speak to your physician before adjusting lifestyle habits. If you do not have a family doctor, the OLBH CareLine can refer you to one who meets your needs; simply call 606-833-CARE (2273).
smoking cessation
OLBH offers a free, 12-week smoking cessation support group using the Cooper-Clayton method and nicotine replacement to assist individuals in kicking the habit of using tobacco products.
The hospital's smoking cessation support group encourages Tri-State residents to overcome nicotine dependency, keying into both emotional and physical needs. The group supports people, as they become non-smokers. Membership to the Human Motion Vitality Center is included during the program.
To register, please call the OLBH CareLine at 606-833-CARE (2273).
playing by the numbers to lower your cholesterol
Having high blood cholesterol can increase your risk of developing heart and vascular disease, or for having a heart attack. In fact, the higher your blood cholesterol level the greater your chance of cardiovascular disease and a stroke. When high cholesterol is combined with other risk factors, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, your risk for cardiovascular problems increases even more.
what is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance in your blood. When there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it builds up in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the body. As the arteries narrow, blood flow to the heart is slowed or blocked.
If there is not enough oxygen supplied to the heart, angina, a heart attack, or even death can result.
High cholesterol does not produce symptoms. That is why it is important to have your cholesterol level checked. Everyone age 20 and older should have a fasting (not eating or drinking for 12-14 hours) lipoprotein profile to determine exact cholesterol levels, at least once every five years.
A "lipoprotein profile" gives information about:
Total cholesterol
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad cholesterol" - the primary source of cholesterol buildup
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good cholesterol" - which helps keep cholesterol from building up in the arteries
Triglycerides - another form of fat in the blood
evaluating your risk of cardiovascular disease
Generally, the higher your LDL level and the more risk factors you have for cardiovascular disease, the greater the chances you will develop cardiovascular disease. In addition to a high LDL level, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease include:
High blood pressure
Low HDL cholesterol
Family history of early cardiovascular disease
Age - 45 or older for men; 55 or older for women
lowering LDL cholesterol
You can lower cholesterol by:
Eating fewer high fat foods (particularly those high in saturated fats)
Reducing the amount of cholesterol in your diet
Losing weight, if you are overweight
Increasing the amount of soluble fiber in your diet (beans, oat bran, melons, and dried fruits)
Exercising regularly
For more information about lowering your cholesterol, speak to your family physician. If you do not have a physician, utilize OLBH's free physician referral service by calling the OLBH CareLine at 606-833-CARE (2273).
high blood pressure and vascular disease
checking your blood pressure:
Check blood pressure when you first wake up and before dinner
Sit in a chair with back support for 3-5 minutes without talking. Rest arm on a firm surface, such as the arm of the chair, and keep it at heart level.
Do not drink or eat anything containing caffeine or alcohol at least 30 minutes before checking blood pressure.
Do not smoke 30 minutes before taking blood pressure.
Do not cross your legs while taking blood pressure.
Record blood pressure readings and report these to your doctor at your next visit.
Approximately 25 percent of the United States' population has been diagnosed with hypertension - high blood pressure, a major risk factor of vascular disease. Because the condition is so prevalent, and because it often comes with few if any noticeable symptoms, some patients find it hard to take treatment seriously. Studies show that only 21 percent of those being treated keep their condition under control. It's a mistake that could be fatal.
If it is detected and treated effectively with lifestyle modifications and medications, high blood pressure can be lowered indefinitely. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can cause severe damage to virtually every part of the body - most notably the heart, the brain, and the kidneys.
Heart: Dealing with high blood pressure over the long term puts a severe strain on the heart and the entire cardiovascular system. Chronically high blood pressure nearly always leads to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. With the narrowing of the artery, blood flow becomes even more difficult and blood pressure increases even more. "When a blood vessel leading to the heart becomes fully or partially blocked, the result is angina - a heart-related chest pain. The heart is crying out for oxygen, and if the blockage becomes great enough, or if a clot forms on the blockage, the result is a heart attack.
Brain: The most common type of stroke is a brain attack - caused by a full or partial blockage of a blood vessel serving the brain. When any part of the brain fails to receive the blood it needs, it dies and the result is usually death or severe disability. Another type of stroke strongly linked to uncontrolled hypertension occurs when a damaged blood vessel ruptures and leaks blood into the brain. In most cases, this causes a violent headache followed by a collapse into unconsciousness. Whatever the symptoms, a stroke is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.
Kidneys: The effect of elevated blood pressure is particularly damaging to the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, interfering with the organs' ability to filter blood effectively. Severe hypertension can damage the kidneys in a fairly short period. As kidney damage occurs, it makes blood pressure spike even higher. Hypertension is the second leading cause of kidney failure.
Detected early, hypertension can be successfully controlled for many years. Many effective medications are available, and should be accompanied by a change in lifestyle: regular exercise; weight loss; a heart-healthy diet high in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; and reduction of sodium intake to less than 2,000 milligrams daily.
For more information on high blood pressure and its risks, speak to your family doctor. If you do not have a family doctor, the OLBH CareLine can refer you to one who meets your needs; simply call 606-833-CARE (2273).
reducing risks
…of Stroke
Proper attention to controllable risk factors can reduce the chance of a stroke. Risk factors that lead to stroke include high blood pressure, heart disease, smoking, excess weight, and diabetes. The chance of having a stroke also increases with age and males have a slightly higher stroke risk than females.
…of Cardiovascular Disease
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis, a build up of plaque on the wall of an artery, can lead to clogged arteries in any part of the body. Normally, there are no symptoms of atherosclerosis until one or more arteries are so clogged with plaque that blood flow is severely reduced, or a blood clot forms, completely blocking an already narrowed artery. Some plaques can rupture or burst causing blood clotting inside the artery. If a blood clot totally blocks the flow of blood through an artery, a heart attack or stroke can occur.
There are a number of risk factors which can raise your chances of developing atherosclerosis. The most common factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, a family history of atherosclerosis, and being physically inactive. The more risk factors an individual has, the more atherosclerosis will develop. The most important way to prevent cardiovascular disease is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Individuals should adopt a healthy diet, have regular physical activity, stop smoking and maintain a healthy weight to prevent cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis.
….of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Heart disease and stroke are recognized by the public as important signs of cardiovascular disease. Another potentially fatal symptom of cardiovascular disease and the effects of hardening of the arteries is an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Approximately one in every 250 people over the age of 50 will die of a ruptured AAA.
Usually discovered by accident in a physician's office, an aortic aneurysm is a weak or damaged area of the aorta - the body's largest artery. As blood flows through the aorta, the weak area bulges like a balloon and forms an aneurysm. If this bulging becomes too large, it may burst or rupture causing a life-threatening situation that requires immediate emergency care. Fortunately, when an AAA is diagnosed early it can be successfully treated and rupture is prevented.
The OLBH Vascular Center is equipped with superior technology to determine if an aneurysm is present. By utilizing special tools and computer imaging, the center's specialized professionals can examine the body's arteries and diagnose an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Treatment is then planned based on the size of the aneurysm and its relationship to other arteries within the body. Aneurysms exceeding a diameter set by your primary care physician will require surgery. Small aneurysms may require no immediate treatment other than checking the aneurysm regularly to be certain it does not grow.
AAA can affect anybody, but most commonly occurs in men between the ages of 40 and 70. Even children can develop them as a result of trauma or certain medical conditions. Contributing risk factors include hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, inflammation or infection and cigarette smoking.
Limiting alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, lowering the amount of cholesterol and salt in one's diet, exercising, and losing weight can help prevent aneurysms.
If you are affected by any of the above risk factors for stroke, cardiovascular disease or aneurysms, please speak with your physician about detection and early treatment methods available at the OLBH Vascular Center. If you do not have a family physician, please contact the OLBH CareLine at 606-833-CARE (2273) for a family physician referral.

text: WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy has proposed new energy conservation standards and consumption thresholds for refrigerated vending machines that dispense bottled or canned soda and other drinks.The proposed measures would cut energy use of glass- or polymer-front machines by as much as 42% compared to the current energy consumption of these machines, while energy use in solid-front vending machines would be cut by about 15%."With roughly 3 million beverage-vending machines in the U.S., or one for every 100 Americans, a strong national standard means real savings for all the universities, park districts, hotels, and other institutions and businesses that pay the electric bills for these machines," Noah Horowitz, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement.Each machine manufactured under the new standards would save about $320 per year in energy costs, he estimates.A public hearing on the proposed standards is scheduled for June 17. After a review period, barring opposition, the rules will be adopted in August with the standards taking effect in 2012.Horowitz, along with representatives of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy and the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, also said that requiring smart controls on vending machines could save even more electricity and money, according to GreenerBuildings. These devices could automate certain features of the equipment and, for example, put lights in sleep mode or turn them off when the machine isn't in use.Parameters established by the Bush administration currently limit DOE's authority to set such a requirement, but standards adopted after July 1, 2010, will allow the department to incorporate these kinds of provisions.The proposed standards for vending machines are the first of approximately 25 new standards for a variety of products that the DOE must complete by January 2012 as mandated by court orders or Congressional deadlines. Fluorescent lighting tubes, refrigerators, water heaters and air conditioners are among the products subject to new standards.

Black Eyed Pea is located in Arlington, about 3 minutes from AT&T Stadium. You can actually see it from the front of the restaurant-pretty cool. They pride themselves on serving traditional southern fare. Being from the South and being a foodie, it excited me to see how people viewed and executed southern food. The menu consisted of things like meatloaf-which was a specialty item, burgers, ribs, steak and chicken, as well as a few seafood items.
I had the sweet barbeque chicken with fried corn on the cob and fried okra. The chicken wasn't all that bad, just a little dry. It was served with bacon, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes and chives. The okra was pretty good, I just prefer it a little crunchier. Now, this fried corn on the cob was a different story. It was deep fried and when I bit into it, tasted like it had been soaking in butter for almost forever. My sister and my little cousin both had it as well, and it wasn't a hit with any of us. My mom however just had to taste it because she couldn't believe none of us liked it, of course she thought it was good. My sister also had fried okra and meatloaf, which she said was a bit tough.
I don't really feel they really grasp the taste of the south, but reading reviews online, the Texans that eat here love it. The service was adequate at best, she didn't know whose food belonged to who and with a group the size of ours, you would think they would have given her a second person to help-bless her heart. I wouldn't really recommend it, but to each his own, right?

The decision for Sandra Oh to leave "Grey's Anatomy" has to be bittersweet. The accomplished actress is leaving on a career high and she definitely appreciates the fans. However, she is also shooting final scenes and getting ready for her last day of work this week. According to the USA Today on Tuesday, the actress is sharing some of her finale moments with the fans and has been working on cleaning out her trailer.
The actress revealed on Monday she filmed her last scene with Justin and she was heading out to clean her trailer in the studio lot. As many stars get their own accommodations when they work a big show, it seems that Sandra Oh has plenty of stuff to take home as well as clean out the trailer.
"Slowly wrapping out my trailer!" tweeted Sandra Oh from her official Twitter account. Sharing a look at the trailer, there were piles of stuff everywhere and it did look like she was moving.
The last day on set for Sandra Oh is expected on Friday. While the fans know she probably will be sharing moments during the day, there isn't any doubt she might wait until later as leaving "Grey's Anatomy" has to be very emotional. The star has been with the series for many seasons and she definitely has given her all on every show she has filmed. Fans recognize her dedication to the show too.
There is no word yet who might fill in for the actress on the next season or how the series will change without the doctor, but fans expect there will be something different. Whoever decides to step up and be part of the show will have big shoes to fill as Sandra Oh is very talented.
So how will "Grey's Anatomy" fans feel after the final scenes are shown next month for the popular ABC show? Most likely people will get off their couch and give Sandra a standing ovation. She's given a lot to the show and viewers really appreciate her talent.

v0.46 released
Sage Weil <sage <at> newdream.net>
Another sprint, and v0.46 is ready. Big items in this release include: * rbd: new caching mode (see below) * rbd: trim/discard support * cluster naming * osd: new default locations (slimmer .conf files, see below) * osd: various journal replay fixes for non-btrfs file systems * log: async and multi-level logging (see below) The biggest new item here is the new RBD (librbd) cache mode that Josh has been working on. This reuses a caching module that ceph-fuse and libcephfs have used for ages, so the cache portion of the code is well-tested, but the integration with librbd is new, and there are some (rare) failure cases that are not yet handled in this version. We recommend it for performance and failure testing at this stage, but not for production use just yet-wait for v0.47. librbd also got trim/discard support. Patches for wire it up to qemu are still working their way upstream (and won't work for virtio until virtio gets discard support). We've revamped some of the default locations for data directories and log files and incoporated a cluster name configurable. By default, the cluster name is `ceph', and the config file is /etc/ceph/$cluster.conf (so ceph.conf is still the default). The $cluster substitution variable is used the other default locations, allowing the same host to contain daemons participating in different clusters. All data defaults to /var/lib/ceph/$type/$cluster-$id (e.g., /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-123 for osd_data), and logs go to /var/log/ceph/$cluster.$type.$id. You can, of course, still override these with your own locations as before. There is also new logging code that allows the daemons to gather debug(Continue reading)

Paterson Swats Down Silver's Tax-Hike Hopes
The assembly speaker is once again aiming for a "millionaire's tax," which the governor dismisses — arguing that taxes are "addictive."
Governor Paterson has taken up arms in one of Eliot Spitzer's old battles against assembly speaker Sheldon Silver today. Very shortly after Silver went on the radio to call for higher taxes to deal with the state's budget problem, Paterson said in a conference that he wanted to avoid exactly that. "The reason I'm avoiding taxes is because I think taxes are addictive," Paterson explained. "What happens is, when you start taxing, people start thinking of ways to spend money.…I would only use that as a last resort and don't want it to be the first option right out of the barrel." On this he's allied with Republican Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (Joe Bruno's successor), and he's reliving a fight Bruno and Spitzer had with Silver back in March when the effects of the current crisis were beginning to take shape.
Silver, for his part, is using his usual lines of argument. On recalculating the year's budget, he advocates "a bit of a wait-and-see approach."
On an unrelated note, have you ever noticed that the assembly speaker kind of looks like a turtle?

Question of the Week: Presidential candidates
Published: Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 4:08 p.m.
It is election time, and many new voters cast ballots for the first time. In the close election between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, many young adults and teenagers were bombarded with campaign advertisements.
With the process of adjusting to adulthood and new responsibilities, to add a presidential campaign on top can be tough. Even young children have been affected by the election during Halloween as Democrats and Republicans wouldn't take their children to certain homes because of political affiliation.
So with all this in mind, several juniors and seniors were asked: "What do you think about the presidential candidates?"
"Obama doesn't seem like the best choice. Romney would be better, but not much better." — Ansley Whited
"I'm not fond of either of them. I don't think Obama is bad, just mediocre. Romney just doesn't seem like the appropriate leader." — Miranda Penley
"I feel like Obama is the better option of the two. He's done a great deal for us, and Romney wouldn't help like Obama has." — Seth Gibbons
"Mitt Romney is more business oriented but feels fake due to his excessive wealth. Obama has the benefit of a past presidency, but his overall performance feels at best mediocre, based on his past behavior." — Jacob Deal
"I dislike them both, but Obama seems like the lesser of the two evils. I agree more with Obama's policy than Romney's policy." — Justin Jarrell
"Obama's policy is better than Romney's policy, but I'm really pulling for Gary Johnson. I agree with more of his policy except for his gold standard idea. I think Johnson would make for a better president." — Clay Thompson
"Mitt Romney is an egotistical mogul and set himself up to look good even though he didn't do anything. Obama wastes less money and isn't as sneaky when he does business." — Cameron Hayes
"I prefer third parties, but I'd vote for Obama." — Justin Hendricks
"I'd vote for Romney, because I feel he'd lead better in this economy." — Destiny Shore
"I would rather have the same president right now. Seems like the best thing for now." — Itzayana Flores

Book synopsis
The author of this study analyses five major novels published by Hans Fallada between 1931 and 1947, including bestsellers such as Kleiner Mann – was nun? and comparatively neglected works such as Der Alpdruck. These novels explore significant problems in Weimar, Nazi and post-Nazi society, paying particular attention to the viability of personal values as a response to social problems. The author argues that Fallada's key concept of individual values is much more ambivalent and more mutable than scholars have yet recognised, that it is particularly influenced by the upheavals of 1933 and 1945, and that it is radically redefined in Fallada's last work, Jeder stirbt für sich allein. This book offers a close analysis not only of the crisis novels themselves, but also of Fallada's short stories, essays and letters, many of which have remained unpublished, and which illuminate his major works in ways which have not yet been fully appreciated.
Contents: Fallada's major novels Kleiner Mann was nun? and Jeder stirbt für sich allein – Literature of the Weimar Republic, Nazi and post-war Germany – Fallada's archetype of the «little man» – Literature of the Third Reich – Post-1945 literature.

Bay Co. School Board Members are also deciding the future of the Emerald Bay Academy facility, although it could be a slightly easier choice. Newpoint Bay Charter School has already submitted a proposal to lease the facility for the next 3 years at a cost of $345,000. School Board Members will decide Wednesday whether to accept the proposal.
Newpoint Bay opened last Fall with 150 9th and 10th grade students. There were already plans to renovate surrounding buildings for when they expand in upcoming years, but this will save that step.
"The Emerald Bay facility would give us enough space to reach our full size when we add 11th and 12th graders. Plus the classrooms are very large and it's a nice facility. There are plenty of outdoor spaces for our students to be able to get outside. They have basketball courts, lots of recreational areas," said Carla Lovett, Newpoint Bay Charter School.
Newpoint Bay Charter School is accepting enrollment applications for next school year. School officials will host an open house March 26 from 6:00-8:00pm. Another open house will take place Tuesday, April 14 from 6:00-8:00 pm. You can contact the school at 215-0770 or log onto their website.
The current facility is located at 700 West 23rd Street, Building H, Panama City, FL 32405.

Hereditary hypotrichosis simplex is a rare autosomal dominant form of hair loss characterized by hair follicle miniaturization. Using genetic linkage analysis, we mapped a new locus for the disease to chromosome 18p11.22, and identified a mutation (Leu9Arg) in the adenomatosis polyposis down-regulated 1 (APCDD1) gene in three families. We show that APCDD1 is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that is abundantly expressed in human hair follicles, and can interact in vitro with WNT3A and LRP5-two essential components of Wnt signalling. Functional studies show that APCDD1 inhibits Wnt signalling in a cell-autonomous manner and functions upstream of beta-catenin. Moreover, APCDD1 represses activation of Wnt reporters and target genes, and inhibits the biological effects of Wnt signalling during both the generation of neurons from progenitors in the developing chick nervous system, and axis specification in Xenopus laevis embryos. The mutation Leu9Arg is located in the signal peptide of APCDD1, and perturbs its translational processing from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. APCDD1(L9R) probably functions in a dominant-negative manner to inhibit the stability and membrane localization of the wild-type protein. These findings describe a novel inhibitor of the Wnt signalling pathway with an essential role in human hair growth. As APCDD1 is expressed in a broad repertoire of cell types, our findings indicate that APCDD1 may regulate a diversity of biological processes controlled by Wnt signalling.

Climatologist Michael Mann: "It is no longer acceptable for scientists to remain on the sidelines"
Last month in PLOS ONE, the climatologist James Hansen and 17 coauthors published "Assessing 'dangerous climate change': Required reduction of carbon emissions to protect young people, future generations and nature." On 19 January, the Pennsylvania State University climatologist Michael Mann, invoking their analysis, published a New York Times op-ed urging scientists to become cultural and political activists.
The PLOS ONE authors say they used "Earth's measured energy imbalance, paleoclimate data, and simple representations of the global carbon cycle and temperature to define emission reductions needed to stabilize climate and avoid potentially disastrous impacts." They warned:
Rapid emissions reduction is required to restore Earth's energy balance and avoid ocean heat uptake that would practically guarantee irreversible effects. Continuation of high fossil fuel emissions, given current knowledge of the consequences, would be an act of extraordinary witting intergenerational injustice. Responsible policymaking requires a rising price on carbon emissions that would preclude emissions from most remaining coal and unconventional fossil fuels and phase down emissions from conventional fossil fuels.
Mann reasserts scientists' climate consensus and condemns "irrational rejection of well-established science." The only "real differences among mainstream scientists," he writes, "can be found on two fronts: the precise implications of . . . higher temperatures, and which technologies and policies offer the best solution." But until "the public fully understands the danger of our present trajectory," he laments, debates about solutions "are likely to continue to founder."
He continues:
This is where scientists come in. In my view, it is no longer acceptable for scientists to remain on the sidelines. I should know. I had no choice but to enter the fray. I was hounded by elected officials, threatened with violence and more—after a single study I co-wrote a decade and a half ago found that the Northern Hemisphere's average warmth had no precedent in at least the past 1,000 years. Our "hockey stick" graph became a vivid centerpiece of the climate wars, and to this day, it continues to win me the enmity of those who have conflated a problem of science and society with partisan politics.
Enmity indeed. On 20 January at National Review Online—closely related to the magazine National Review, founded by the late conservative William F. Buckley Jr—National Review's publisher Jack Fowler attacked Mann as a "global-warming-monger," his Times piece as "vitriol and sanctimony," and his message as targeting only scientists who "are more concerned with political agendas than with hard data and the openness to prove theories in the face of challenges."
At National Review Online, as elsewhere, the enmity isn't new. In July 2012, NRO's Mark Steyn—occasional guest host for the radio talk show of the adamant climate-change denier Rush Limbaugh—published a column comparing two men who have been investigated at Penn State: the convicted serial child molester Jerry Sandusky and Mann, who was exonerated following the incident that climate-consensus disbelievers call "Climategate." Though Steyn at first distanced himself slightly from the Sandusky comparison, which he had borrowed from elsewhere, he ended with this explicit use of it:
If an institution is prepared to cover up systemic statutory rape of minors, what won't it cover up? Whether or not he's "the Jerry Sandusky of climate change," he remains the Michael Mann of climate change, in part because his "investigation" by a deeply corrupt administration was a joke.
That kind of enmity notwithstanding, the "Michael Mann of climate change" now challenges scientists to think deeply about their potential public roles. He asks, "So what should scientists do?" On one hand, he notes, they "have the distinguished former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, James Hansen, who has turned to civil disobedience to underscore the dangers he sees." But this "activist approach has concerned some scientists, even those who have been outspoken on climate change."
Mann poses, then answers, a further question:
Are Dr. Hansen and his colleagues going too far? Should we resist commenting on the implications of our science? There was a time when I would, without hesitation, have answered "yes" to this question. In 2003, when asked in a Senate hearing to comment on a matter of policy, I readily responded that "I am not a specialist in public policy" and it would not "be useful for me to testify on that."
It is not an uncommon view among scientists that we potentially compromise our objectivity if we choose to wade into policy matters or the societal implications of our work. And it would be problematic if our views on policy somehow influenced the way we went about doing our science. But there is nothing inappropriate at all about drawing on our scientific knowledge to speak out about the very real implications of our research.
My colleague Stephen Schneider of Stanford University, who died in 2010, used to say that being a scientist-advocate is not an oxymoron. Just because we are scientists does not mean that we should check our citizenship at the door of a public meeting, he would explain. The New Republic once called him a "scientific pugilist" for advocating a forceful approach to global warming. But fighting for scientific truth and an informed debate is nothing to apologize for.
If scientists choose not to engage in the public debate, we leave a vacuum that will be filled by those whose agenda is one of short-term self-interest. There is a great cost to society if scientists fail to participate in the larger conversation—if we do not do all we can to ensure that the policy debate is informed by an honest assessment of the risks. In fact, it would be an abrogation of our responsibility to society if we remained quiet in the face of such a grave threat.
Mann himself has not remained quiet, of course. For example, as reported here last June, he inserted himself into Virginia's nationally watched 2013 statewide election. To support Terry McAuliffe, the gubernatorial candidate who eventually won, he vocally opposed candidate Ken Cuccinelli on climate-politics grounds. As state attorney general, Cuccinelli had investigated and litigated about the research Mann had conducted earlier at the University of Virginia—that is, about Mann's "crime of believing in global warming," as the sarcastic New York Times columnist Gail Collins put it. A three-minute campaign video by Mann can still be viewed online.
The New York Times's online science columnist Andrew Revkin has offered thoughts and comments, including from scientists, about Mann's new challenge. Maybe surprisingly, little else has appeared in the media about it so far.
Steven T. Corneliussen, a media analyst for the American Institute of Physics, monitors three national newspapers, the weeklies Nature and Science, and occasionally other publications. He has published op-eds in the Washington Post and other newspapers, has written for NASA's history program, and is a science writer at a particle-accelerator laboratory.

Why is it that as soon as you decide to start exercising and eat better - which includes not buying any more chocolate to have in the house due to lack of will power and the ability to eat an entire block of Lindt in one sitting - that the world decides to fill your life with free chocolate. Yes, free - and lots of it as well. In the past 2 days our household has received:
- 2 huge boxes of after dinner chocolates FREE from Nescafe (80 chocolates in total!)
- a block of Lindt 85% cocoa FREE from a family member
- a new fruit and nut Toblerone they were handing out FREE at the shopping centre I work in
Of course, I should have just refused the chocolate. But that would be rude wouldn't it?

50 Cent Gives Surprise Concert at Boys & Girls Club in Brooklyn (VIDEO)
50 Cent is always happy to give back, and the rapper recently gave a few hundred young New Yorkers an afternoon to remember.
The performer gave a surprise show at a Boys & Girls Club in Brooklyn, delighting the kids as part of the Yahoo! Crash Concerts series.
"Maybe I can inspire a few people today," said 50 Cent before emerging on stage.
Judging by the screams of his little fans, we'd say they were happy to see him.

"Gadget" (ガジェット Gajetto) is an archetype of Machine-Type monsters. The first support for the archetype was released in Structure Deck: Machine Re-Volt.
There are two main groups of "Gadget" cards. The first is the colored "Gadgets" ("Green Gadget", "Red Gadget", "Yellow Gadget", "Gold Gadget", and "Silver Gadget"), which were used by Yugi in the anime and manga. The second group ("Gadget Arms", "Gadget Hauler", and "Gadget Driver") are "Morphtronic" support. "Gadget Soldier", who is not part of either group, is also part of this archetype.
Yugi used the colored "Gadgets" in the The Ceremonial Battle at the end of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga, Seto Kaiba and Kozaky used "Gadget Soldier", and Leo utilized the "Morphtronic" support "Gadgets" in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
Colored "Gadget" monsters
There are two subgroups of the colored "Gadget" monsters: the primary colored "Gadget" monsters and the metallic colored "Gadget" monsters. The primary colored "Gadget" monsters each can add another specific primary colored "Gadget" monster from the Deck to the hand upon being Summoned. The metallic colored "Gadget" monsters each can Special Summon a Level 4 Machine-Type monster from the hand upon being Summoned, and can Special Summon any other Level 4 "Gadget" monster from the Deck when destroyed.
The background art of each primary colored "Gadget" monster references both the "Gadget" monster they search out and the "Gadget" monster that searches them; the gears in the background refer to the former, and the energy lines around the "Gadget" refer to the latter. The eye color references the "Gadget" they search out as well.
Since their release, "Gadget" monsters have gained synergy with the "Ancient Gear" archetype due to "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera" and "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon", which gain effects when Tribute Summoned by Tributing specific primary colored "Gadget" monsters. Because primary colored "Gadget" monsters are all EARTH Machine-Type monsters, like "Ancient Gears", as well as the fact that "Ancient Gear" monsters need ready access to Tribute Fodder, the two archetypes merge well.
They also work well with the "Machina" archetype, which is the basis of a Machina Gadget Deck.
Play style
Colored "Gadget" monsters
A "Gadget" Deck is a Deck type that is designed to use the effects of the "Gadget" monsters ("Red Gadget", "Yellow Gadget" and "Green Gadget") to gain Card Advantage. You can Summon one "Gadget" and add another to your hand, to get ahead in card advantage and use 1 For 1 Cards to remove as many opposing cards as possible while staying ahead with extra cards you added to your hand with each "Gadget".
Machina Gadgets
With lots of support from the Machina Mayhem Structure Deck, Machina "Gadgets" focus on getting out "Machina Fortress" by dumping "Machina Force" or any monsters whose Level equal Level 8 or more by taking advantages of your "Gadgets". Machina "Gadgets" can easily search out "Machina Fortress" by using the effect of "Machina Gearframe". "Machina Peacekeeper" also helps since it can search out "Machina Gearframe" and then "Machina Fortress", however "Machina Peacekeeper" is not preferred as it slows down the Deck and could possibly become a dead draw at some point. Cards like "Pot of Avarice", "Daigusto Emeral", and "Scrap Recycler" are useful to this kind of Deck since you can re-use your "Gadgets" so that you may discard them to Summon "Machina Fortress".
Zombie Gadgets
Use "Zombie World" to turn the "Gadgets" into Zombie-Type monsters. This will allow the "Gadgets" to be able to use the standard Zombie support if combined with "Card of Safe Return" (Traditional Format only), this will create very large amounts of Deck Thinning. The "Gadgets" can then be used with "Plaguespreader Zombie" in order to Summon powerful Synchro Monsters.
Chimeratech Gadgets
Using "Cyber Dragon" with the "Gadgets" and with one-for-one removal cards to clear the opponent's field in order to Summon an overpowered "Chimeratech Overdragon" or "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" and possibly also "Cyber Twin Dragon" and "Cyber End Dragon". "Cyber Dragon Zwei" and "Proto-Cyber Dragon" can be used as substitutes for "Cyber Dragon".
Psychic Gadgets
Using the "Gadgets" in a Psychic Deck is a great way to develop early field control. Using the "Gadgets" combine with the Spell card "Emergency Teleport" on the first turn can give you a any where from a Level 5 to 7 Synchro Monsters. By using "Emergency Teleport" to Summon "Krebons" or "Psychic Jumper" you can easily get "Goyo Guardian" or "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" (both are in traditional format only), and since this is combine with the search effects of the "Gadgets", it will add an extra card to your hand to discard for the effect of "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier".
Powerhouse Gadgets
This Deck uses "Gadgets" and "Ultimate Offering" (now Forbidden) to Summon various monsters that use three Tributes and overwhelm the opponent. Various cards that may be used include: the legal Egyptian Gods, the Wicked Gods or even "Beast King Barbaros", "Gilford the Lightning", and "Destiny HERO - Plasma".
Ritual Gadgets
A Ritual Gadget Deck uses the "Gadgets" as quick Ritual material for "Demise, King of Armageddon" and "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion". By playing one "Gadget", you bring another to your hand, giving you 2 Level 4 monsters to Tribute for "End of the World". This Deck is easy to build and can quickly bring Demise to the field, often on the first turn.
Gadget Geartown
This Deck is based on the power of "Ancient Gear" with the relevant support of the "Gadgets". Both have synergy in this Deck, and they may use the special EARTH support "Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane". If you destroy "Geartown" you'll be able to Special Summon the Ancient Gear powerhouse "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon".
Xyz Gadgets
Cards like "Double Summon", "Ultimate Offering" and "Tin Goldfish", can be used to bring out two or more "Gadgets" to instantly Summon a Rank 4 Xyz Monster. It's easy to Summon up to 4 Xyz Monsters in a turn using "Ultimate Offering". Alongside packing your Extra Deck, use "Doomcaliber Knight" and "Thunder King Rai-Oh", 1900 ATK beatsticks with Anti-Meta effects that can also be used for Xyz Summons. These add an element of control to the Deck. "Gogogo" monsters also work well. And cards like Reborn Tengu and Summoner Monk can special summon directly from the deck for easier Xyz Summonning, deck thinning and field advantage.
It is worth combining the "Gadget", "Crashbug" and "Exodia" cards as the "Crashbugs" and "Gadgets" decrease your Deck size so you stand a better chance of drawing the "Exodia" cards. You can treat this Deck as a normal "Exodia" Deck so you can still use "One Day of Peace" for example.
While this Deck can be strong, cards like "System Down" and "Acid Rain" will destroy all three "Gadgets" and all "VWXYZ" monsters. "Malfunction", "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Royal Decree", and "Trap Reactor・Y FI" (which also inflicts burn damage) would prevent "Stronghold the Moving Fortress" from appearing in the field. Sliding cards like "Imperial Order" and "Imperial Custom" (try to get this card out instead) can counter these cards.

After the Premier League runners-up sacked Roberto Mancini, his former assistant is hoping to move on, with their final game of the season ending in defeat to Norwich CityManchester City assistant Brian Kidd says that the club will look to improve on their trophyless season after an "emotional" week which saw Roberto Mancini sacked as manager.
|Man City are 11/5 with Bet365 to win the Premier League in 2013-14
"It's been a really emotional week," Kidd told the club's official website. "That's not making an excuse. The defeat at Wembley [in the FA Cup final], the boss going ... it's been a tough week.
"I think we all seem a bit washed out at the moment. I think we're drained, to be perfectly honest."
After relinquishing their league title to Manchester United, losing to Wigan at Wembley and failing to get out of their Champions League group, the 63-year-old is aiming for significant improvements next term.
"We've got to look at where we can improve because the standards we set last season, we haven't reached this season," Kidd observed.
"The priority is to get a new manager first. That is the biggest priority. I'm pretty sure the club will scrutinise whoever they've got as candidates but the priority, for me, is the manager."

Chocolate + Bacon = Love. It's the perfect couple. So sexy. So delicious. What are you waiting for?!
I used a Lindt Chocolate bar with 90% cacao content. Feel free to use whatever you want. Next time I may go with 100% and add a little honey (if you try this please let me know how it turns out!).
The process is fun and can be done quickly too. I'll run down the ingredients, instructions and some tips so you can create the world's greatest dark chocolate covered bacon!
This recipe has been slightly changed from the recipe inside one of my favorite cookbooks, The Paleo Recipe Book.
Chocolate Covered Bacon Ingredients
- 2 lbs Bacon (preferably from a local farm so it's pastured)
- 1/2 to 3/4 lb Chocolate with a cacao content of your choice
- 4 TBSP butter, coconut oil, ghee or other fat that is heavily saturated
Step by Step Instructions
1.) Decide where you are going to place the bacon with warm chocolate on it so it can cool. I used a cooling rack that was set on a baking pan that had tinfoil on it. This was recommended but a large plate should work very well. This way you won't lose any chocolate too!
2.) Add your fat of choice (butter is best) to a saucepan. Melt the fat slowly, preferably at a low to medium heat.
3.) Add the chocolate bars as whole or in pieces to the saucepan once the fat has melted. Two bars at 3.5 oz may be exactly enough.
Important note: The recipe inside The Paleo Recipe Book calls for 1 pound of dark chocolate but this is way overboard. I've made this recipe twice. On Sunday I used 14 oz and used about half of the chocolate. I recommend going with around 8 to 12 oz so you have some left over for things like frozen chocolate covered cherries and bananas. Yum!
Melt that chocolate slowly. Go for the lowest heat then turn it up a notch if you need to. We need to cook that bacon!
4.) Fry your bacon. You know how to do this, right? I used cottage bacon since Rakowski farms was out of stripped bacon at the farmers market. Slice in half or however you like and then fry them up! You won't be able to do 2 lbs all at once. Be patient and have fun. Smell the deliciousness of bacon being cooked! If your dog is around then throw him some. Just make sure he does a dance first.
Once you are done frying all the bacon then your chocolate should be melted. Just turn up the burner a notch if you need to so the chocolate melts at a nice pace with the frying of your bacon. Cool? Oh, and let the bacon cool a bit before dipping it in chocolate!
5.) Take the saucepan filled with chocolate off the stove and place on a hot pad. Grab tongs and your plate of bacon and begin dipping the bacon into the chocolate piece by piece. Cover it good! Place each slice of chocolate covered bacon on your platform of choice (you did this in the first step, remember?).
6.) Place your plate (or whatever, maybe baking pan) of chocolate covered bacon in the fridge or freezer. Your decision will be rested upon how patient you are. I stuck it in the freezer. Store in the fridge after you enjoy a few slices and finish over a few days period (if you can).
7.) Save the bacon fat. Don't you dare throw it in the trash! If this is pastured bacon then you want to consume every last dripping of fat. Store it in a container in the fridge or let it sit out and use it in the future!
That's it folks. It's a fun process. Don't eat too much. If you do, you may mess with your digestion. I may actually give up on chocolate for 30+ days after I finish consuming my batch. Chocolate messes with my digestion. The higher the cacao content the worse. Unless I am able to stop after 1 block for the entire day…
5 Tips: How to make the world's best chocolate covered bacon
1.) Practice makes perfect. If you make this once per month for the next 12 months then you may become a professional in a year. Don't expect it to be perfect after your first go.
2.) Don't pat your bacon dry. Sebastien Noel, the creator of The Paleo Recipe Book, recommends that you pat the bacon dry with a paper towel. Why?! This is the same thing as throwing bacon fat in the trash. If you are using pastured bacon then please do not do this. Not only does it add flavor if you keep the fat but it adds positive effects to your health! Potentially a lot of Vitamin D!
3.) Experiment with different "additives." I am not talking about blue color #41 or anything. Why not go for 100% chocolate and add some honey, maple syrup or even fruit? What not some cinnamon? Don't be afraid to go crazy. As I stated in tip #1, practice makes perfect.
Maybe someday you will open up a chocolate covered bacon shop. Why not? Give me a holla if you do this.
5.) Decide who is going to eat this amazing concoction. The recipe inside the ebook calls for 2 pounds of bacon and 1 pound of chocolate. I used about 7 ounces of chocolate for 2 pounds of bacon but I am the only one eating it. Next time I will make 1 lb of bacon and melt only one 3.5 ounce bar of chocolate.
Discuss your thoughts by leaving a comment below
Have you ever made chocolate covered bacon? If yes, how did your recipe and preparation differ from mine? If not, are you ready to make your first batch? Do you think this concoction is ridiculous or ingenious?
Would you join the Chocolate Covered Bacon League if I created one through facebook? Or should it be tribe or club? Leave a comment below with your thoughts please!

What do 28 Days Later, I Am Legend and Burning Man all have in common? The correct answer is Sunset Overdrive. The sunny, colorful, bright open-world game currently under development at Insomniac Games was inspired by many things, but they may be a bit more subtle than you would probably expect.
Sunset Overdrive is looking to launch on the Xbox One later this year, but when you look at the themes we see in a typical end of the world game, this game in particular was created with a much different vision in mind. Sunset Overdrive Creative Director Marcus Smith described the ideas and moments that really inspired him and his idea of what would eventually become Sunset Overdrive.
"We started to get pretty worn-out on the whole, 'dark, depressing, monochromatic, just scrapping by' genre. Still, there was still *something* that attracted us to the idea of an end-times scenario.
"Seeing the character Jim walk around the empty streets of London at the beginning of 28 Days Later, or seeing Charleton Heston cruise around the streets of Los Angeles in the whale of a convertible, even Will Smith hitting golf balls of an aircraft carrier in I Am Legend, there was something clicked about how you could have fun in the end-times.
"We started looking at it less as 'the end' and more like a new beginning. One where the laws and societal rules no longer control our behavior.
"The idea that we wouldn't have to devolve into Lord of the Flies when society breaks down, but perhaps we could re-build based on more creative philosophies, like Burning Man. That was the spark, the impetus that drove Drew and I to create the basis for Sunset Overdrive," Smith said.
It's a wonder why no one else thought about this contrasting way of viewing an end of the world game before. It's almost obvious, if you are someone that wants to create something new and exciting, that is. Kudos to Insomniac for being one of the developers that is thinking outside the box these days.
Sunset Overdrive is set in the fictional city of Sunset City and will blend fluid traversal with the unique arsenal we have come to expect from a Insomniac title. Sunset Overdrive should be launching sometime later this year only on Xbox One.

The class of 2014, Nirvana, KISS, Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens, the E Street Band and Linda Ronstadt were honored at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, on April 10.
The show began when music producer Peter Asher awarded the late Beatles manager, Brian Epstein and former Rolling Stones manager, Andrew Loog-Oldham, who was not in attendance. Coldplay's Chris Martin left his conscious uncoupling at home to present the "angel" Peter Gabriel with the coveted award.
Country rock superstars, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris all performed an epic tribute in Linda Ronstadt's honor. She did not attend the ceremony because of her battle with Parkinson's disease.
Rise Against the Machine guitarist, Tom Morello introduced 70's glam group KISS with the most elaborate speech of the night calling them, "one of the most iconic bands of all time." He poured out his admiration for the band and said, "It should be all about impact, influence and awesomeness!"
The Boss, Bruce Springsteen delivered a heart warming speech to his beloved 'brothers and sisters,' of the E Street Band and said that their friendship is stronger than ever. Quest Love of the Roots enthusiastically introduced Hall and Oats in which the Philadelphia boys joked, "at least there's two of us!' referring to long speeches given by the E Street Band.
Michael Stipe of the REM settled a nostalgic blanket over the crowd when he came out to honor Nirvana. 'Nirvana captured lighting in a bottle," Stipe said in his speech and noted that, "it's not just pop music, it's something greater than that."
"I wish Kurt was here," said Kurt Cobain's widowed wife Courtney Love and front woman of the band Hole. "He would really appreciate this, " she said as she dedicated the award to their daughter Francis Bean and his family.
At midnight, Joan Jett walked onstage to join the surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and bassist, Krist Novoselilc.
Earlier in the week, rumors swarmed that Jett was going to front a Nirvana performance, after the Foo Fighters posted a picture on Instagram of what appeared to be Jett's Gibson guitar.
The rumors were put to rest when Jett performed a chilling rendition of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit, 'which she complemented with killer rifts and a raspy voice that was reminiscent of the late Cobain.
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, fronted 'Aneurysm,' Annie Clark of the indie band, St. Vincent took on 'Lithium' but the biggest surprise of the night was when Lorde closed out the show and belted a passionate interpretation of 'All Apologies.'
Overall, the night embodied prestige and reconciliation to recognize the legends of rock that influenced the world for decades. As Morrelo said, "it's a rock and roll and party all night hall of fame!"

Since the producers make so much a point of it, I'll make a point of it as well: the "in color" part of The British Empire in Color is both the program's only real strength and its fatal weakness. This formal stricture critically dictates and circumscribes the content of the show, making it by necessity only about the erosion and collapse of the Empire during the 20th century.
I'm not sure why this restriction is so paramount, that everything has to be in color. Perhaps color is seen as lending itself more to the epic sweep of history than black and white (and with its bombastic funereal score, its definitely going for epic). Or maybe color is a better analogue to the ambiguous history of the Empire, where nothing was black and white, where the best and the worst of Britain mingled into one of the most complicated legacies in world history. Or maybe the producers just figured everyone was sick of dry, black and white historical documentaries.
The British Empire in Color
US DVD: 29 Apr 2008
But by building its wobbly structure and thesis around the footage rather than the other way around, The British Empire in Color becomes less a documentary and more a showcase for rare archival footage and home movies. To be sure, this footage has its value, and some of it is remarkable from a technical standpoint, but its appeal would seem to be almost exclusively for historians, or maybe students of cinematic photography, and not really for a general audience, which I think was the intention.
And surely, the expectation from the title is that we (this theoretical general audience, chomping at the bit for 250 years of imperial history) would indeed be getting a generalist overview of British history, and its rapid development from a small island nation into the world's dominant naval and commercial power, the Empire on which the sun never set.
From the get go, though, it is clear that this is not going to be the case, and actually, without a strong background in 18th and 19th century British history, it is easy to become quite lost in the early parts of this three-part series. There is very little background or context given to Britain's position in the world as we open in the first decade of the 20th century, the program just sort of dives straight into surveying the zenith of the Empire (which the film posits somewhere between the two World Wars) and the subsequent rapid erosion and then complete loss of British power in the colonies quickly following World War II.
But what the program does offer (and where it sort of succeeds) is an alternate, non-Euro/UK-centric view of the British Empire and its colonial and territorial holdings in India, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. It's the view from the inside looking out. It's the view from the people living there, the ordinary people, the elite and the poor, the British colonists and the natives. It's a world and a viewpoint that's been rarely, if ever, seen, on film, and is a welcome historical corrective. Bolstered by narration taken from eye-witness accounts culled from letters and diaries, the cumulative effect is a scattershot prismatic view of the last days of imperial rule – the gaudiness of the Imperial overlords and their palatial lives, juxtaposed with the increasingly untenable lives of those they ruled over.
The program is divided into three 50-minute episodes, each focusing mostly on one major geographic area, while working in tangential asides of other colonies. The first episode focuses on the "crown jewel" of the Empire, India, and the various nationalist movements towards independence in the 1920s and '30s, culminating in 1947 when India freed itself from Britain. The price, however, was the bisection of India into two states, the second being Pakistan, leading to tragic strife and perpetual violent outbreaks that remain a glaring testament of Britain's toxic imperial legacy.
From there, the focus moves in episodes two and three to the African colonies, most notably Kenya and Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), where the British again had to contend with nationalist uprisings, these decidedly more violent than those in India. There is also a detour into the morass of the Middle East and the question of Palestine, where Britain tried to play both sides of the fence between the Palestinians and Jews during the controversial formation of Israel, and just ended up pissing off everyone and fleeing the region with its proverbial tail between its legs.
The final portion of the program focus on the state of the Commonwealth nations and the wake of the Empire after all these nationalist uprisings and movements to independence, and how Britain used Australia (mainly) and Canada to slough off population to relieve economic pressure at home, even as it was encouraging immigration to the UK from the West Indies and India for cheap labor. This leads to a passage (all too brief) of the horrid nearly genocidal treatment of the Aborigines and Native Americans, all under the name of paternalistic interest. But like I said, it's all too brief, and though to be sure dwelling on this issue is no one's idea of fun, the legacy of racism and prejudice is one of the most damning aspects of the Empire, and must be addressed.
But The British Empire in Color does a rather alarmingly good job of specifically avoiding discussion of racism whenever it can. It's strange, that a program so aggressively non-jingoistic, so non-Anglo centric, would gloss over this, especially since it goes to such lengths at the very end to extol the growing racial diversity and tolerance in present day Britain.
In the end, I don't really know what to make of The British Empire in Color. It's more a curiosity than anything else, a bit of stunt programming masquerading as epic documentary history. It's too superficial too be taken seriously, yet it does have a strange allure. Technically it's…well, some sort of achievement, gathering all this disparate unconnected footage of wildly varying quality (color film from 1911 is certainly stunning, but it does give one a headache) and splicing it all together.
The process of putting it all together, which is gone into in some detail in a 30-minute making of feature, was certainly laborious and meticulous. But to what effect? The program's novelty, in the end, can't distract us from its deficiencies, and ultimately The British Empire in Color simply drains away and fades into

text: Ten days after he went missing in Cachuma Lake, the body of 22-year-old Isaiah Sanchez of El Rio was found just after noon yesterday about one hundred yards from where he was last seen going underwater. A group of citizens who were on a rented pontoon boat spotted what appeared to be a body in the lake and called 9-1-1. County Park Rangers, Sheriff's deputies and a Sheriff's Coroner's detective responded. The body was transported by boat to the shore where a positive identification was made. Sanchez was on the lake with two friends on July 11 when their boat's engine broke down. Deputies say he tried to swim 50 feet to shore. The cause and manner of death is pending the completion of the Coroner's investigation which will include an autopsy and toxicology results. The family of Isaiah Sanchez has set up a memorial fund in his name.You can visit any Rabobank location if you'd like to contribute. The account number is 253323005.
