KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Julia Mancuso's final race of the 2014 Olympics could not have gone worse Tuesday.
The Squaw Valley Olympian struggled on a rainy, snowy day in the Caucasus Mountains and skied off course on the first of the two-run giant slalom at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Center.
America's most decorated female alpine skier with four Olympic medals failed to finish. After winning a bronze medal in the super combined, Mancuso finished eighth in the downhill and super-G last week for her best performances of the season in those disciplines.
"I learned, especially from the super G, that it's the Olympics and you have to go for it," Mancuso told reporters, referring to skiing too conservatively last week.
Slovenian star Tina Maze won the gold medal, followed by Austria's Ann Fenninger and Germany's Viktoria Rebensberg. U.S. teen Mikaela Shiffrin was fifth in her Olympic debut.
Mancuso, 29, said inconsistent snow and poor visibility bothered her.
"I caught a really soft spot and it twisted me," she told reporters. "That's the only bummer when the snow's like this, you really have to be precise. You can't get out of body position, otherwise it gets the best of you."
The Tahoe skier went into the first gate too straight and got water on her goggles.
"So, then I was thinking, 'OK, now I've just got to go with feeling,'" Mancuso said.
The four-time Olympian won't leave Sochi disappointed after experiencing a rough start to the season.
"At the beginning of the season, I felt like there was no way I could come back," she said. "But after coming here, and having that magical day, it makes me want to keep going."

DETROIT -- A businessman says then-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick repeatedly traveled around the country aboard his private planes and never paid a dime in return.
Tony Soave says he was uncomfortable with the arrangement but didn't want to cross the mayor and jeopardize any work with the city.
Soave was a government witness Wednesday in Kilpatrick's ongoing corruption trial. Prosecutors allege that Kilpatrick enriched himself while in office by pocketing bribes and extorting people who had city contracts. He resigned in 2008.
Soave says Kilpatrick, sometimes accompanied by family, took 20 round-trip flights aboard his planes to destinations that included the Bahamas, Florida, New York and Texas. Soave says he paid for a $6,000 watch in New York that Kilpatrick gave to his father, Bernard, as a Christmas gift.

Pink Floyd to Release First Album in Decades
Add another point for social media. This time for revealing big news on future music. Pink Floyd will release its first album in 20 years, Polly Samson revealed on Twitter.
The writer, and wife of guitarist David Gilmour, announced that the band will release a new album based on music sessions from two decades ago.
"Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called "The Endless River". Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful," Samson wrote.
A spokesperson for Pink Floyd confirmed there will be a new album.
"Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album "The Endless River" in October 2014. It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the Summer," the spokesperson said.
After the Twitter revelation, background vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson, confirmed that she will be a part of the upcoming album. The singer re-shared a photo, and wrote "it wasn't what you thought it was" before sharing Samson's tweet and claiming: "YES. THERE IS A NEW PINK FLOYD ALBUM COMING OUT. AND I'M ON IT. And there was much rejoicing."
The band's Website did not include recent information on "The Endless River". The latest news from the band includes a release from May about the band's box set release of "The Division Bell".
Fans may not want to get too excited about a tour. Last year, drummer Nick Mason expressed doubt that the band would go on tour. "I don't think it's very likely," Mr. Mason told the WSJ, adding that the band's other members, David Gilmour and Roger Waters, wouldn't do it even for a lot of money. "One thing that will put us back together would be an equivalent of Live Aid, [so] if there was a good enough reason to do something."

Will the Raspberry Pi usher in a new generation of Linux users?
If you have not heard of the new Raspberry Pi yet, then you surely will soon enough. The new budget computer has just passed its Conformité Européenne testing, so now it can be stamped with the commonly seen CE mark and sold throughout Europe. A limited number of units were sold before the device was certified, and distribution was halted until the Pi passed the quality control tests. The distributors of the Raspberry Pi also took the time to make sure that the device meets all the regulations enforced by Australian, Canadian, and US supervisory bodies. So now the new Raspberry Pi, starting at the mere price of $25, is ready to be unleashed upon the world, but what does this mean for Linux users and developers?
Quite a lot actually, because the Raspberry Pi has been designed to use with Linux operating systems. The people behind the development of this cheap but powerful device always wanted it to be as accessible to the masses as possible. They knew an open source operating system was the only way they could keep the costs down, but there was a bigger reason behind their support of Linux. Their ambition with Pi is to get kids interested in computer programming again.

If this is what angels smell like, then they must be heaven scent.
It was the Angel Face rose -- at least that's what my sister said her friend said she calls it because she, the friend, has some of these floral visitants from paradise in her, the friend's, backyard and she, my sister, has smelled them. The variety is of the palest lavender shade (is it wrong to describe a flower with another flower?) and smells of, well, angels.
Yet the marker on the bud's bed at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden begged to differ, calling it a grandiflora Lagerfeld something or other, and I don't think it meant Karl, but you never know, seeing as how a Dick Clark and a Julio Iglesias were blooming gangbusters just steps away.
(Later, I looked up the Lagerfeld on the garden's website, and -- in addition to other stuff I didn't understand about parentage and hybridizers -- turns out there is indeed an "Ivory Tower Angel Face" connection in terms of pollen. And it really is named after Karl. So there. My life is complete.)
It's true that I'm pretty superficial when it comes to roses, but it totally doesn't matter when visiting this vast historic nirvana at Naglee and Dana avenues in the heart of San Jose, because it's all about the outward beauty, the showiness, the glam of the thousands upon thousands of roses that flirt and flaunt their way through any spring and summer romance.
And, unless you're so inclined, you don't need to have heart-to-hearts with these eye-candy objects. You don't need to prune your way into their personalities and thorny quirks. After all, you're not dating them, you're just an admirer with a wicked crush.
So leave the serious relationships to the volunteers and the Master Gardeners who care so deeply for this place that they brought it back from the brink of community blight a few years ago.
Yes, hard to believe this glorious garden, which opened in 1937, hit the skids in the mid-2000s, thanks to city-budget-induced neglect and weeds high as an elephant's eye. It was even put on horticultural "probation" in 2005 by All-America Rose Selections, which accredits gardens nationally. Luckily, the Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden was formed in 2007; rose lovers not only salvaged the garden's reputation, but garnered glory when it was named "America's Best Rose Garden" in 2010 by the very organization that had once cut it to the quick.
And it continues to receive accolades. Last month, the garden was named a "Frontline Park" by the City Parks Alliance, a national urban park advocacy group. Congrats, San Jose Rose Garden!
I wonder if somebody sent it roses.
That's all pretty cool, but you don't even need to know the history to enjoy the park. Feel free to frolic, and go ahead and call a rose by any gosh darned other name you want to.
The Lagerfeld -- the Angel Face to us -- was the first rose my sis and I encountered when entering the main gate on a recent weekend. This substantial nose knows a rose, so I went in for a full frontal assault, inhaling the scent so deeply I ended up with a petal partially vacuum-sealed to my right nostril.
Perhaps overwhelmed by the bud's sweet breath -- like when you test too many fragrances at the perfume counter at Bloomie's and have to sniff a cup of coffee beans -- I was surprised so many other roses had little or no scent at all. "Maybe they've been smelled empty," my sis offered, helpfully.
This lack of olfactory luster didn't seem to matter to the dozens of people wandering around that day. We saw someone photographing a very pregnant lady in a billowing red gown over by Julio Iglesias. The garden is a popular site for weddings. And, according to the website, it was even named "Best cheap date." (Wait, strike that, reverse it. Maybe start with "date" and work your way up to "very pregnant lady.")
If nothing else, it's fun to chuckle at some of the funny floral names. There's the Yabba Dabba Doo, buzzing with happy bees. The Eyeconic Lemonade. Dee-Lish. Class Act. Chrysler Imperial. Scentimental. And of course the Carefree series: Carefree Spirit, Carefree Delight and Carefree Beauty.
The adjoining expanse of grass and the shade of redwoods offer great spots for picnics. No dogs allowed, but blankets and baskets sure are. Make a stop at the equally expansive deli at Zanotto's Family Market just up Naglee a couple of blocks and pick up a grilled turkey-and-brie panini and a chocolate-dipped macaroon. Then get to the garden and nibble to your heart's content, sitting in a slice of Eden.

What: San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, Naglee and Dana avenues. Admission is free, and there's ample street parking. Info: http://friendssjrosegarden.org

The strangest month in Randy Bennett's 13 seasons as coach at Saint Mary's College is about to begin.
First, after seven straight home victories, the Gaels prepare to visit Boise State on Saturday. It will be the latest date for the team's first game away from home in 31 years.
"We haven't quite got it perfected," Bennett said of the Gaels' season-opening homestand. "We've just got to get the conference teams to play us at home every game."
No one's complaining about their next road trek. The Gaels travel to Hawaii during Christmas week to play in the Diamond Head Classic.
Then, beginning with their West Coast Conference opener Dec. 30 at Pacific, the Gaels will play five straight games without Bennett, suspended by the NCAA as part of sanctions levied on the program last spring for rules violations.
The five-game stretch also includes a road game against WCC powerhouse Gonzaga and ends with a Jan. 9 home matchup against Bay Area rival Santa Clara. Bennett will be allowed back on the bench two days later against USF.
At least the suspension signals a near end to the entire episode, after a long investigation and Bennett's attempts to appeal that were exhausted last summer. "It was more of a distraction for the past two years," he said. "There's no more unknown."
But the ban is fairly thorough, preventing the coach from attending team practices and having contact with players. Can he phone his assistants to talk?
"Not about the team," Bennett said. "I'm not sure we talk about much else."
In fact, Bennett isn't quite sure how he will cope with the separation. He knows he doesn't want to stew over every moment he's absent, but he certainly won't shut himself off from how his team is faring.
"I'll figure it out as it goes," he said.
One decision Bennett expects to make soon is which of his three assistant coaches will run the team for the 11 days he's on the shelf.
For now, Boise State has his attention. The Broncos take an 8-0 record into Tuesday night's game against Kentucky at Rupp Arena.
"I'm sure they're not thinking about Saint Mary's right now," Bennett said. "They're pretty good. It will be a good test."
The entire month will test Bennett in ways that are new to him. With the suspension looming after the trip to Hawaii, did it occur to him he should just stay on the islands until he can rejoin his team?
"It's not out of the question," Bennett said, laughing. "For my mental health, it'd probably be the best way to go."
UCSB is good enough that it battled UCLA on even terms for much of their game at Pauley Pavilion earlier last week before succumbing. But come March, when the Bears hope to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament, a loss to a Big West opponent could become a costly résumé blemish.
The Bears (6-3) take on Nevada (4-5) on Tuesday night and Fresno State (6-4) on Saturday afternoon, both at Haas Pavilion.
But Bright's career at Stanford might not be over. Because he played only seven games and will earn his degree in the spring after four years, he has the option to play -- at Stanford or elsewhere -- as a graduate student.
Stanford's options for filling the backup point guard spot are fewer. Senior Robbie Lemons and freshman Malcolm Allen likely will get the chance, but the two have combined so far for just 57 minutes and zero assists.

Food Safety for Consumers
The fresh and pre-packaged food products we buy and consume every day represent the best, most nutritious and widely available food supply anywhere in the world. Here in the United States, domestic and imported food products go through careful inspections from various governmental agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Missouri Department of Agriculture, along with dedicated efforts by city and county public health agencies. These inspections are conducted at the many manufacturing and processing plants and warehouses, and at retail stores and restaurants nationwide. They serve the invaluable role of helping to protect all of us from food-borne illness.
However, as soon as food is purchased, it becomes the consumer's responsibility to safely handle and prepare the food so that everyone who eats it continues to be protected. Though there are seemingly endless varieties of foods, preparation practices, eating customs, traditions, and habits, proper food safety practices can be effectively applied in any kitchen.
The information provided on this page is designed to inform and guide the consumer on ways to protect themselves and their family from a potential food-borne illness.
We at Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services hope you find this information informative and useful. You may print and copy any of these documents for your and other's use free of charge.

Make the right choice for your Christmas tree
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:29 a.m.
As you drive throughout Terrebonne Parish, you will see signs of the holiday season approaching. Christmas is not far off and Christmas trees will arrive soon.
Here are a few helpful practices that will help in the selection process before purchasing a Christmas tree:
- Measure ceiling height where tree will be placed.
- Measure width of area where tree will be placed.
- Consider aroma of tree. Virginia pine has an evergreen scent. Carolina sapphire has a lemon and mint scent.
- Consider allergies to pines.
- Consider foliage on tree. Leland Cypress and Carolina sapphire are known for "soft foliage." Virginia pine is known for sticky foliage, and Noble fir has stiff branches and good needle retention.
Selection and Care of Trees
Before buying a tree, you should perform the "needle-drop" test. Lift the tree about a foot off the ground and strike back down. If this results in a shower of needles falling, look for another tree.
Here are some other tips:
- Before you set up the tree, make a cut ¼- to 1-inch thick disk of wood from the base of the tree and place the tree in a stand that holds at least one gallon of water.
- Water, water and more water. Keep fresh water in the tree stand and check daily. As a general rule, stands should provide one quart of water per inch of stem diameter.
- Locate tree away from any type of heat source.
- Check wires and connections on all lights.
- Keep gift wrap and other flammables away from direct contact with tree.
- Only plug lights in if adults or responsible individuals are at home and keep an eye on the tree.
- Never let the tree stand run out of water.
- Unplug lights before you go to bed.
Atrazine Use in Home Lawns Now
November is a good time to apply atrazine herbicide to prevent winter weeds. Atrazine is a pre-emergence herbicide. It prevents weeds from coming up. To be effective, you need to apply it before the weeds germinate and emerge. Atrazine controls annual bluegrass or winter grass, sticker weeds, clovers, dollarweed, Florida betony and other broadleaf weeds. Follow the label for rates. Do not use Atrazine around trees, shrubs or winter flowers.
Do no use Atrazine if you have planted perennial rye grass or plan to plant it. Read and follow label on Atrazine container before use.
Checklist for December, January and February
- Plant tulips and hyacinth bulbs that have been refrigerated for six to eight weeks in late December or early January.
- Daffodil bulbs can be planted through late December.
- Mulch shrub and flower beds 2 inches to 3 inches deep to minimize weed problems.
- Winter is an ideal time to plant trees.

BOSTON -- Tamerlan Tsarnaev practiced martial arts and boxing, even aspiring to fight on the U.S. Olympic team. Dzhozkar Tsarnaev had been on the wrestling team at a prestigious high school and won a scholarship from the city to pursue higher education. Neighbors recalled the ethnic Chechen brothers, living on a quiet street in Cambridge, Mass., riding bikes and skateboards.
Two brothers, one dead, one alive and at large. After hours of only grainy images of two men in baseball caps to go on, a portrait gradually emerged Friday of the men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombing.
The brothers, who came from a Russian region near Chechnya, lived together on Norfolk Street in Cambridge. They had been in the country for about a decade, according to an uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md.
Less was immediately known about Tamerlan, believed to be 26 when he was killed overnight in a shootout. He was the stockier one identified in video released to the public, wearing a black baseball cap and khaki pants. He was involved in martial arts, and competed in boxing matches. According to a crime website he was once arrested for domestic assault on a girlfriend.
"I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them." he was quoted as saying in a photo package that appeared in a Boston University student magazine in 2010.
He identified himself as a Muslim and said he did not drink or smoke: "God said no alcohol." He said he hoped to fight for the U.S. Olympic team and become a naturalized American. He said he was studying at Bunker Hill Community College to become an engineer.
Dzhokhar, 19, attended the prestigious Cambridge Rindge and Latin school, participating on the wrestling team. In May 2011, his senior year, he was awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the city to pursue higher education, according to a news release at the time. That scholarship was celebrated with a reception at city hall.
He attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, Mass., university officials said Friday.
The school would not say what he was studying. The father of the suspects, Anzor Tsaraev, told the AP his younger son was "a second-year medical student," though he graduated high school in 2011.
"My son is a true angel ...," he said by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala. "He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."
Dzhokhar's page on the Russian social networking site Vkontakte says that before moving to the United States, he attended School No. 1 in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia's North Caucasus that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya. On the site, he describes himself as speaking Chechen as well as English and Russian. His world view is described as "Islam" and he says his personal goal is "career and money."
Tim Kelleher, a wrestling coach for a Boston school that competed in 2010 against Dzhokhar's team, said the young man was a good wrestler, and that he'd never heard him express any political opinions.
"He was a tough, solid kid, just quiet," said Kelleher, now a Boston public school teacher.
Deana Beaulieu, a 20-year-old student at Bunker Hill Community College who lives two blocks away from the suspects' home on Norfolk Street, said she went to high school with Dzhokhar and was friendly with his sister. She hadn't seen him since they graduated in 2011.
Speaking on the corner of Norfolk Street, she said she first met the younger brother in 2006 when she started seventh grade at the Cambridge Community Charter School and visited the family at their second-floor apartment that year. She recalled meeting the parents there.
"He was just a quiet kid," Beaulieu said of Dzhokhar, noting that she doesn't recall his ever expressing any political views. "I thought he was going to branch off to college, and now this is what he's done. ... I don't understand what the hell happened, what set him off like this."
Dzhokhar appeared in the video released by authorities on Thursday, identified as Suspect Number 2, striding down a sidewalk, unnoticed by spectators who were absorbed in the race. He followed Tamerlan by about 10 feet. He wore what appeared to be a gray hoodie under a dark jacket and pants, and a white baseball cap facing backward and pulled down haphazardly.
Tamerlan was wearing khaki pants, a light T-shirt, and a dark jacket. The brim of his baseball cap faced forward, and he may have been wearing sunglasses.
According to the website spotcrime.com, Tamerlan was arrested for domestic violence in July 2009, after assaulting his girlfriend. That report could not be immediately confirmed.
He was an amateur boxer, listed as a competitor in a National Golden Gloves competition in 2009. In a local news article in 2004, someone identified as Tamerlan spoke about his boxing and his views of America.
"I like the USA," Tamerlan was quoted as saying in The Sun of Lowell, Mass. "America has a lot of jobs. That's something Russia doesn't have. You have a chance to make money here if you are willing to work."
The paper quoted Tamerlan's trainer, Gene McCarthy, as saying: "He has a lot of heart. That's the key." It said he loved music, and played the piano and violin.
Noveck reported from New York.

Larry Taylor and dog Pearl walk down Main Street in Boone, CO, on Tuesday past some of the hundreds of pumpkins left around town.
TOPSFIELD, Mass. (AP) -- Organizers of a fair in northeastern Massachusetts claim a Rhode Island man has set a new world record with the first pumpkin ever to weigh more than a ton.
Leaders of the Topsfield Fair say the huge gourd grown by Ron Wallace of Greene, R.I., tipped the scales at 2,009 pounds on Friday, winning him $5,500 for first place and another $10,000 as a bonus for breaking the one-ton mark.
The Guinness World Record for heaviest pumpkin is 1,810.5 pounds set by Chris Stevens of New Richmond, Wis., at the Stillwater Harvest Fest in Stillwater, Minn., in October 2010.
A New Hampshire man appeared to break the record on Thursday. Steve Geddes of Boscawen turned in a pumpkin weighing 1,843 pounds at the Deerfield Fair in Deerfield, N.H.

Andy Buh, who coached linebackers at Wisconsin this season and is a former co-defensive coordinator for Stanford, will be Cal's new defensive coordinator, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Buh, 39, has accepted an offer from new Cal coach Sonny Dykes, the Journal said. According to the Golden Bear Report, Utah State defensive coordinator Dave Aranda was offered the position but turned it down.
Meanwhile, FootballScoop.com reported that Randy Stewart has been hired to coach defensive backs, Stewart, 54, comes from Eastern Michigan but was defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator at Cal from 1997 through 2001.
Stewart, who coached Deltha O'Neal and Nnamdi Asomugha at Cal, worked briefly alongside Buh during his 10-year stint at Fresno State. The graduate of Boise State coached linebackers at Eastern Michigan this fall.
Buh's hiring is a critical one for Dykes, whose Louisiana Tech team this season led the nation in scoring but was among the worst defensively.
Buh (pronounced "Boo") would have faced Stanford in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 but is the fifth assistant from the Badgers' coaching staff to take another job since Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema departed for Arkansas.
Before his one season at Madison, Wis., Buh spent two seasons as defensive coordinator at Nevada, his alma mater. He coached at Stanford from 2007 through '09, the last year as co-defensive coordinator.
Cal also got a weekend oral commitment from Dannon Cavil, a three-star wide receiver from San Antonio, Texas.
UC Davis: Former longtime Cal running backs coach Ron Gould will be named head coach at UC Davis on Monday, according to Footballscoop.com.
Gould, 47, spent 16 seasons at Cal, the past 11 under coach Jeff Tedford.
Gould did not return a phone message asking for confirmation.
He will replace Bob Biggs, who retired after 20 years as head coach at Davis.
Michigan: Coach Brady Hoke has suspended cornerback J.T. Floyd, punter Will Hagerup and linebacker Brandin Hawthorne for the Outback Bowl because of a violation of team rules.
Iowa State: Running back Shontrelle Johnson will miss the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 against Tulsa with a knee injury.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

MolBio Seminar Series
Tom Silhavy
Outer Membrane Biogenesis in Gram-Negative Bacteria
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria functions as a protective barrier. It is unusual because theOM bilayer is asymmetric; the inner leaflet is composed of phospholipids, but the outer leaflet is made of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Two kinds of proteins are found in theOM. Lipoproteins are inserted into the inner leaflet of theOM by posttranslationally attached lipid moieties. IntegralOM proteins are b-barrel proteins (OMPs). All of the components of theOM are synthesized inside the cell. They must be transported to, and assembled in theOM in the correct orientation to maintain barrier function, and all of this takes place outside the cytoplasm where there is no obvious energy source, such as ATP.
I will present a brief history of how the differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria led to the discovery of the outer membrane. Then I will describe how we have used genetic analysis to identify and characterize the cellular components required for LPS and OMP biogenesis. After discussing what is known about these essential cellular processes, I will focus on the genetic approaches we are taking to probe the mechanism by which β-barrel assembly machine folds and inserts OMPs into the OM. My talk will focus on the remarkable insights provided by extragenic suppressors.

After running through various config changes (setting bandwidth limits, specifying max buffer), I simply tried the previous version 1.70.0 and the studdering stopped instantly.
I tried this on another host and found the same results. 1.72 would studder mkvs and the 1.70 would not.
I used the same config in all attempts:
- Code: Select all
# Default: empty, which means PMS will automatically pick port 5001.
port =
thumbnails = true
thumbnail_seek_pos = 300
mencoder_ass = true
folders = /mnt/media/tv,/mnt/media/movies,/mnt/media/music
hide_videosettings = true
hide_enginenames = true
audiochannels = 6
image_thumbnails = true
mencoder_fontconfig = true
mencoder_ass_defaultstyle = true
I ran a diff on the 2 PS3.conf files in each versions renderers dir and there were no differences other than commented items.
Is there something fundamental I am missing from the 1.72 setup to support better mkv playback?

Channing Tatum is People magazine's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive
I can't believe I lost again.
"My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me,'" said Tatum, who married actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum in 2009. "I told Jenna after we'd been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked."
Says the actor: "She was like, 'What?'"
"Yeah, she calls me (the Sexiest Man Alive) now," he said.
Her Alabama-bred husband is also a sculptor who quotes Edgar Allan Poe, loves to give her massages and can't wait to start their family.
He probably also loves puppies and long walks on the beach.
"I'm ready; I think she's ready (for kids)," Tatum, 32, says. "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we'll see where we go after that."
"It's really easy for us guys to say, 'I want like 15 kids,'" he said. "Jenna will be like, 'Well you better get another wife!'"
Currently training to play an Olympic athlete in next year's "Foxcatcher," Tatum is all heart and muscle at 195 pounds. "I like to be lean. If I get too bulky I can't move well and I like to move," he says. "When I'm not training, I get really round and soft."
That must be awful ... being Channing Tatum and being "soft."
Which is just fine by his wife. "People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is," says Dewan-Tatum, 31. "He is such an openhearted person; what you see is what you get."
The rest of the list will be in the new issue of the magazine, which comes out Friday.

Saturday, August 4, 2012
Sandersville, GA -- When you play football at Washington County, there are a few things that you just understand. You're going to play one of the toughest schedules, you'll be expected to win anyway, and your committment level needs to be all in.
This year, those same things are true, but "All In" isn't going unsaid any longer.
Head Coach Joel Ingram wants the Golden Hawks to live that motto both on and off the field this year in an effort to get over the hump from winner to powerhouse.
WaCo's senior class has made the playoffs every year but has just one win in that span, so they're ready to go all in to get it done.
Ingram said, "Our motto this year is 'All In,' and that means school, community, family. That means it's not all in when it's on your means. It's all in for this football team."
Senior lineman Michael Selby added, "If you're 'All In,' you'll lay down your life. You'll do anything for the team. That means minus distractions. You gotta lay your body out there on the line every week."
The Golden Hawks will need to be all in in order to navigate what's probably one of the toughest schedules in the state.
Being in the smallest region in GHSA means Washington County has to go outside the region for six games, but they always look forward to the challenge.
"I think out of our ten game schedule, we play eight or nine teams that were playoff teams last year," Ingram said. "With that being said, there are going to be a lot of games where we're going to have to try to find the intestinal fortitude to win in the fourth quarter. It's just not the luxury of having games where you mercy rule people anymore because it is a very tough schedule."
The Golden Hawks open on the road at Eagles Landing Christian. The Chargers are coming off a state championship loss in Class A.
Washington County's new region includes arch rival Jefferson County, Thomson, Swainsboro and Dodge County.

Election Preparations in Guinea-Bissau
The United States urges the Government of Guinea-Bissau to adhere to the stated calendar for preparations for March 16, 2014 elections, including a credible and timely voter registration process. This echoes the President of the United Nations Security Council December 9 statement. We urge President Nhamadjo, Prime Minister Barros, Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman Mendes, and Technical Office for Assistance to the Electoral Process Director Na Bitan to ensure that there are no further delays in the election schedule and that timely registration occurs.
Authorities must also urgently improve security conditions and address impunity in order to provide a safe, peaceful environment for both voters and candidates. We expect the Ministers of Interior and Defense, and the Armed Forces Chief of Staff to ensure that security services respect rule of law, civilian authority, and human rights. Security services should cooperate fully with the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau and the Mission of the Economic Community of West African States.
The successful and timely conduct of these elections is a critical component of progress towards of national reconciliation, democratic governance, and economic reforms.

Bill Gross Bounces Back After Spring Swoon
Bond king Bill Gross's fund bounced back this month following the debt markets' spring swoon.
The $268 billion Total Return Fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., the world's biggest bond fund by assets, has handed investors 0.47% in total returns in July through Monday, according to data from fund tracker Morningstar It outpaced the 0.14% gain on the benchmark Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The fund suffered 3.6% loss between April and June, the most on a quarterly basis since the fund was launched in 1987, according to Morningstar. The benchmark lost 2.3% over the same period.
The fund run by Gross, founder and co-chief investment officer at Pimco, has lost 2.56% so far in 2013 through Monday, bigger than a loss of 2.31% on the benchmark, according to Morningstar.
Gross has taken great pains in recent weeks in reassuring clients to stay on board after the fund suffered an unprecedentedly large net outflow in June–nearly $10 billion.
Gross didn't reply to requests for comment on the bond fund.
Pimco has typically declined to comment on bond funds' returns and allocations, though Gross has been sharing his views on markets and monetary policy frequently via Pimco's twitter account.
Gross benefited from signs of stabilization in bond markets as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke soothed fears over rising bond yields. Bond prices fall when their yields rise.
Bernanke said earlier this month there is no "preset course" to taper, or reduce, the central bank's $85 billion monthly bond buying program. He reiterates that the central bank will keep monetary policy highly accommodative for a long period of time even if it starts cutting back on buying Treasury bonds in coming months.
Unlike many bond investors who rushed to cut exposure to fixed income assets in June, Gross held his holdings of Treasury bonds and Treasury inflation-protected securities steady while boosting holdings on U.S. mortgage backed securities.
Data from Pimco's web site showed at the end of June, Gross held 37% in Treasury debt which include both regular bonds and TIPS, unchanged from the end of May. Shares of MBS rose to 36% from 34% in May.
Gross's stance cost him dearly during the market rout, but this month, the strategy boosted the fund's return when bond prices recovered some lost ground.
Gross turned bullish on 10-year Treasury note in April but prices of longer-dated bonds fell at a sharper pace during the May-June selloff at a given rise in yields.
Over the past couple of weeks, Gross has signaled that he favors intermediate maturity Treasury bonds, especially five-year notes, via a number of comments on Pimco's official Twitter account.
"Longer maturities may not adequately compensate investors for sizable longer-term inflation risk," said Gross in his monthly commentary to clients on his bond fund's performance and strategies published on Pimco's web site. "Pimco continues to believe that the prolonged wave of ultra-dovish monetary policy will drive longer-term inflation higher."
That view of longer-term inflation risks also drove Gross' investment in TIPS.
"We will seek to add to our positions where valuations appear compelling as we believe that the threat of higher longer-term inflation persists," said Gross in the monthly commentary on his bond fund for June.
TIPS have handed investors a return of 0.36% in July through Monday, after a loss of 7.05% between April and June, according to data from Barclays.
Gross's bond fund could suffer if the U.S. economic growth picks up speed in coming months that allows the Fed to start tapering bond buying as early as September, said analysts. Fears of rising bond yields could continue to send investors out of bond funds at a time when U.S. stocks have persistently hit record highs.
Another potential blow for Gross's fund is falling inflation which could hit prices of TIPS, analysts said.
Still, Gross's bond fund held a solid long-term track record, beating benchmark index over one year, three-year, five-year, 10-year and 15-year periods.
The fund has handed investors an annualized return of 6.78% on average in the past 15 years through Monday, beating 5.52% on the benchmark, according to Morningstar.

BERKELEY -- On its first birthday, the Occupy movement on Monday celebrated from New York to San Francisco and Berkeley, where activists took credit for elevating income inequality, bank lending abuses and outright greed into the national consciousness.
Those who came out Monday in the Bay Area said the movement is alive and making real change, even though protesters are no longer setting up tents in bank lobbies and battling police in the streets.
"The energy is continuing," said Rabbi Arthur Waskow, of the Shalom Center in Philadelphia, who protested Monday in Berkeley. "It didn't disappear."
In New York, protesters clogged intersections and roamed around the lower Manhattan financial district, where police arrested about 100 by midafternoon.
In front of the Wells Fargo in downtown Berkeley, about 60 people celebrating Rosh Hashanah listened to a group of rabbis talk about the evils of big banks making money off home loans and foreclosures.
And in San Francisco, activists planned a daylong menu of events, including a march, a "debt burning" festival and demonstrations at banks.
Waskow, whose Shalom Center in Philadelphia works for social justice, came to Berkeley for the Rosh Hashanah protest and believes Occupy changed the national discussion about financial equality.
"Occupy changed the conversation in the U.S. so we could talk about the concentration of wealth and power," Waskow said. "Before, it wasn't even taboo to talk about -- it didn't exist. Suddenly, it was talkable. Now people are focused on keeping their houses and (on) the banks that were the center of the financial collapse."
But as organizers hail the movement's successes, in Oakland it had devolved into street warfare with vandals and angry anarchists squaring off against police. The message was muddled as a long list of social justice causes joined the grievances against capitalism, including police brutality, prison reform and protecting medicinal marijuana laws. Those at a large Occupy camp at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall were joined by drug dealers, street people and anarchists. Businesses were damaged, several people were critically injured in clashes with police and hundreds were arrested in protests held over several months.
"Occupy Oakland was tragically unable to deal with undercover police and anarchists," said Rabbi Michael Lerner of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue Without Walls in Berkeley and San Francisco, who joined the Berkeley protest Monday.
Still, Bay Area organizers say their message has been elevated beyond what they ever imagined.
Julien Ball and Buck Bagot, members of Occupy Bernal in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, said the movement gave them a launchpad to help people in their area fight banks on foreclosures. Bagot said since January they've helped more than 300 homeowners facing foreclosure avoid an auction, won 52 permanent loan modifications and stopped six evictions.
"A lot of people for a long time have had the general idea that things were not working for them and a tiny minority had a lot of power," Ball said. "The Occupy movement put that into a framework and inspired other people to fight back."
At Wells Fargo, which posted a second-quarter profit of $4.6 billion, up 17 percent from the year before, spokeswoman Mariana Phipps said the bank respects the movement's right to protest, but Occupy has not fairly characterized the facts about its business.
"We have a long history of local community investment and prudent risk management," Phipps said.
Phipps said the bank donated $213 million to 19,000 nonprofits in the last year, and its employees donated 1.5 million volunteer hours.
Mike King, an Occupy Oakland member who helped bring thousands of people to the entrances of the Port of Oakland and shut down one of the busiest shipping hubs in the country on Nov. 2, said Occupy has moved to the neighborhoods and the workers.
He cited his group's work organizing workers and riders of AC Transit about fare increases and driver pay cuts, the recent takeover of a building in the Fruitvale district to try to start a community library, and an upcoming Community Speak Out against police brutality at the Eastmont Mall in Oakland as examples of the kind of work that was spawned by Occupy.
"In all of these efforts, we've gotten an overwhelming response from people in the city," King said. "And you can't gauge that kind of response at a demonstration."

Breaking Up Is the Thing to Do in the Oil Patch
It's been a good week for investors calling for energy companies to split themselves into smaller pieces.
The parts-are-greater-than-the-sum camp got a lift from oilfield equipment maker National Oilwell Varco, which said Tuesday that it is considering spinning off its distribution business, which analysts say could be have a stock value of as much as $3 billion.
The next day offshore driller Noble unveiled long-anticipated plans to separate its older and shallow-water rigs from its newer, deepwater fleet. And on Friday, a subsidiary of Devon Energy filed plans with securities regulators to sell up to $400 million in shares as the Oklahoma City oil-and-gas producer cleaves off its so-called midstream business, which is comprised of pipelines, gas-processing plants and other assets.
These moves come amid a wave of breakups in the oil patch.
Some, such as those at Hess, Oil States International. and Marathon Petroleum have come at the insistence of activist investors. Others, such as Apache's pending $3.75 billion sale to a private-equity backed buyer of its shallow-water Gulf of Mexico fields and Occidental Petroleum's not-so-private contemplation of its own breakup, have come without significant public prodding.
Instigated or otherwise, the goal is usually the same. Isolating assets and business lines that trade at higher multiples of earnings is seen as a quick way to boost share prices.
The stock market reaction to this week's announcements was muted. Two were expected after all. But they were nonetheless cheered by analysts.
Referring to announcements from National Oilwell, Noble and Oil States' earlier decision to spin off a unit that provides oil field housing, analysts with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. said "feels like good news comes in threes."
Each company, the analysts wrote in a Wednesday note, are "adeptly utilizing favorable energy capital markets" to spin off units. The analysts said that the moves "simplify these oilfield stocks" and while they liked each company without the spin-offs, the potential for them to jolt stock values is "lagniappe."

Band director Mark Morello is still excited about his Bristow students' recent performance.
The Brentwood middle school singers wowed the crowd at the teacher of the year event in Concord.
"It was a great honor to perform for 500 outstanding teachers, administrators, school board members and business leaders," said Morello, an honored teacher himself in 2009.
"We sang at Barnes & Noble the third week of school, but this was definitely their first big 'gig.' "
The group consists of more than 70 seventh- and eighth-graders.
Morello is proud of the whole program but said a "standout moment came as they started to sing" the folk song "Liza Jane."
"Their eyes widened, and they all smiled, as if to tell me, 'Wow! We sound great!' That's my favorite expression from my students during a concert," said the clearly delighted instructor.
Another favorite moment was "Take These Wings" with eighth grader Katherine Elera on flute and former student Alex Marquez on piano.
The last song was "The Storm is Passing Over," which Morello referenced in his speech four years ago. "It's about how teachers can weather any storm, but it's the positive impact on students that endure."
Morello was in awe realizing the "vast majority of students had never been in a choir before. They just blew me away!"
The choir hits the stage next during the Brentwood tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 24 and Bristow's winter concert on Dec. 6. On Jan. 26, it performs the national anthem at a Stockton Thunder game, and on March 3 at a Sacramento Kings NBA game for 20,000 fans. "My students are very excited."
Morello first taught choir at Bristow in 1995, took a break to teach elsewhere, then returned in 2006.
"My students are wonderful, energetic, sweet, and make me laugh every day."
POLITICS 101: With the big election less than a month away, Liberty High students recently jumped into the fray.
Reps for congressional candidates Ricky Gill and Jerry McNerney visited the Brentwood high school with information and a chance for student internships.
Teacher Manny Lopez spearheaded the event, and is happy that about 35 students signed up for internships.
During the program, students received info on the candidates and the issues. Plus, the school's debate club members helped students register online to vote.
"The representatives interacted very well with the students," Lopez said. "I (saw) several students actively questioning the representatives about ... issues such as civil marriage equality."
Lopez liked the aspect of the internship option. "Since all seniors must complete 20 hours of community service, this was an excellent opportunity to arrange time (for them)."
The teacher was pleased with the day's results.
"As educators, we appreciate the importance of providing those opportunities ... I hope the students are better informed and more motivated to be involved and to vote."
TIME TO MEET: The Oakley school district presents two public forums on the financial challenges the district faces and the effects of Prop. 30. The free forums, open to all, will be: at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at Delta Vista Middle, 4901 Frank Hengel Way; and at 7 p.m. Oct. 22 at O'Hara Park Middle, 1100 O'Hara Ave. For more information, call 925-625-0700.

A lot of movies get added to Netflix's Instant Stream every week. Luckily for you, I'm here to dig through what's new and highlight new releases that may be of interest to BGH readers. Halloween is right around the corner and Netflix is really ramping up the horror releases. Tons of stuff this week. And without further adieu, joining the ranks of the Instant Stream this week are:
Amityville II: The Possession (1982)
At the risk of losing some nerd-cred, I have to come clean: the only Amityville movie I've ever seen was "Part 3D". Checking this one out.
