Some restaurants spring from the minds of their creators fully realized. With every detail thought out, proven chefs installed and concepts clear as prisms, such establishments hit the ground running and never look back.
But there's something fine and beautiful about a late bloomer.
Owners Christopher Zielke and Christopher Jeffers were certainly on to something when they opened Bolsa in a converted auto garage in Oak Cliff in 2008. Part grocery, part wine bar, with a wide-open kitchen, groovy cocktails and a covered patio, it instantly became a favorite destination for neighbors, hipsters and other Dallasites seeking kicked-back good eats.
As a newcomer to Dallas, I was charmed by the "twig and branch" flatbread, topped with roasted red grapes, lacy arugula and bits of goat cheese, and by the quirky, not-too- expensive wine list. Nothing I tasted knocked my socks off, but the place had a wonderful, friendly vibe. It's the kind of place where you're likely to wind up chatting with other diners, sitting on the long banquette under the window, maybe sharing your bottle of wine.
I returned a few times in the intervening years, and while I always liked the place, I kept hoping the cooking would take off more decisively than it did.
Last September, Jeff Harris, the talented chef who made his name at Craft Dallas, took over kitchen duties from departing Graham Dodds (who's now executive chef at Central 214). Harris, Zielke and Jeffers have been busy opening nearby Chicken Scratch, the Foundry and Bolsa Mercado, so it has taken the new chef half a year to make the menu his own.
That achieved, Bolsa, at long last, is realizing its potential.
You can taste it with Harris' smoked steelhead trout, set atop a vibrant salad of well-dressed frisée tossed with slivers of red onion, Granny Smith apple and pickled celery. Pull a bite of the fine-flavored smoked fish through the deep fuchsia beet purée on the plate, and taste. Spiked with horseradish, the purée is the perfect foil for the smoky fish.
Another salad celebrates spring with asparagus, crunchy-tender sugar snap peas, breakfast radishes and watercress. Harris coats them lightly in a lemony crème fraîche dressing, tossing in cherry tomatoes and chopped black olives for good measure. The olives overpower a bit; still, it's lovely.
If going all springy and light doesn't appeal, order up some chicharrones and cocktails and consider the options. The drink list is long, and it changes appealingly with the seasons. At the moment the tall, refreshing Jalisco Sunrise tastes just right: tarted up with Chartreuse and lots of muddled clementines, it's a drink I could sip long into the summer. Ditto the fizzy, herbal, citrusy, gin-happy Killin' Thyme.
When those chicharrones land, watch out. With a squeeze of lime and a hit of Espelette pepper, they melt in your mouth; a wonderfully chewy bit of pork skin concludes each bite. They're addictively earthy-good.
In fact, earthy-good is the governing aesthetic at Bolsa; the cooking is rustic and forthright. If the "twig and branch" flatbread doesn't seem as fabulously unusual as it once did, the one involving sausage and shishito peppers is terrific. Made a few doors away at Bolsa Mercado, said sausage is superb; the flatbread's crust, like a thin, crisp, beautifully charred pizza, has deeply developed flavor.
The stars of a charcuterie platter are a house-made country pâté made from Broken Arrow Ranch antelope (it's studded with dried Texas blueberries), and duck rillettes that are smashing smeared onto crusty slices of Empire Bakery baguette.
Have you saved room for a main course? It's not always easy, with appetizers this compelling.
If so, consider the crisp-skinned chicken breast crowning a sauté of English peas and fiddlehead ferns. A peppery, mustardy chicken jus pulls the flavors smartly into focus. Rarely does chicken breast have such superb flavor and succulence.
Harris manages to spotlight the essence of lamb by braising its breast and sending it out surrounded by tender baby artichokes, kalamata olives and kale.
Bavette, a cut of steak that's unusual here but popular in France, is Harris' choice for Wagyu beef. It comes to the table beautifully seared, sliced and accompanied by perfect roasted baby turnips and locally grown chard. Steak lovers generally divide into those who want a tender cut (filet) and those who prefer more flavor (rib-eye or New York), but this Wagyu demands no concessions. At $25, it is both the most expensive dish on the menu and very well-priced indeed.
If not everything's equally wonderful (grouper overwhelmed by a heavy romesco sauce, quail whose flavor suffers under the weight of bacony collards), that's understandable. Because one of the best things about Bolsa is its dynamism: Harris keeps the menu extremely seasonal and fresh by changing out dishes as often as two or three times a week. One night you might find a free-form tart filled with mushrooms and asparagus — a splendid main course that happens to be vegetarian. Another night a savory tart might feature Texas tomatoes and mizuna instead of the mushrooms. If there's a dud, it's as likely as not to be replaced by something compelling.
Desserts change frequently, too. Recently I enjoyed a chewy fudge brownie pie with crème anglaise and candied hazelnuts. A delicious strawberry-rhubarb tart, free-form and rustic like the mushroom one, was dressed up with cajeta whipped cream. One of the most memorable appeared last fall: a big peanut butter cookie, soft and warm, topped with vanilla panna cotta and spectacular berry preserves.
Because it's so dynamic, Bolsa is the kind of place you want to visit often.
Happily, the welcome's always warm. Stop in on a relatively quiet weeknight, and the place feels neighborhoody and personal. Share a bottle of wine with the next table, and your server's there with extra glasses even before you think to ask. And that wine list is definitely one to explore, with friendly prices and a number of interesting Texas vintages.
Because reservations aren't accepted, weekends can be crazy: On a recent balmy Saturday night, the wait for a table was an hour to an hour and a half. No one seemed to mind, though. We sat on a patio by the parking lot; a manager brought out extra chairs as would-be diners added their names to the list. He and a server kept coming by with offers to fetch drinks from the bar. One big group sat in a circle and ordered a couple of flatbreads. Everyone made friends.
And dinner? It felt like a party.

Facing one of the most daunting challenges in its history, Intel (INTC) for the first time will formally consider hiring its top executive from outside the company, after Monday's surprising announcement that CEO Paul Otellini will retire in May, three years shy of the mandatory retirement age.
Whoever succeeds him faces a formidable task, with the personal computer business that has long fueled the Santa Clara chip giant severely weakening and the fast-growing mobile-device markets it is trying to enter already heavily dominated by chip competitors.
"It's a little strange for this to be happening, to kind of put the company into this limbo, just at a time when there's a lot of concern about the strategic direction the company is taking," said Linley Gwennap, an analyst with the Linley Group. "It's a very critical point. Intel is facing a lot of issues right now with the PC business flattening out."
Gwennap also was surprised by the company's disclosure that it will look for a possible CEO replacement outside the firm -- as well as inside -- adding that, "in the past, the succession at Intel has been worked out and predetermined almost like the Chinese government."
The 62-year-old Otellini, who became the company's fifth CEO on May 18, 2005, succeeding Craig R. Barrett, could not be reached for comment. But in a statement issued by the company, he was vague about his decision to leave.
"I've been privileged to lead one of the world's greatest companies," said the departing chief executive, who joined Intel in 1974 and turned 62 on Oct. 12. "After almost four decades with the company and eight years as CEO, it's time to move on and transfer Intel's helm to a new generation of leadership."
Although previous Intel CEOs Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove retired well before 65, Otellini had been widely expected to remain until he hit that milestone, the mandatory retirement age. Some analysts speculated that his leaving now may be linked to the sluggish progress Intel has made getting its chips into smartphones and tablets.
"Otellini's departure could be related to the immense challenges Intel faces in competing in the mobile space," FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger concluded in a note to his clients.
But Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said the corporation's board had been surprised when told of Otellini's decision. He added that while "this is the first time that we've disclosed that we will be looking inside and outside" for a CEO replacement, that doesn't mean the board has a preference about that.
"Regardless of how qualified the internal candidates are, one should at least look at who is available," Mulloy said. "It's just good, sound, fundamental corporate governance to do it this way." Several media outlets reported the board is leaning toward an insider.
In disclosing Otellini's plans, Intel also announced several promotions of executives who conceivably could be candidates to replace him. Named executive vice presidents were Renee James, who heads Intel's software business; Brian Krzanich, Intel's chief operating officer; and Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith.
All three are "solid executives," said Raymond James analyst Hans Mosesmann in a note to his clients. But he said none of them appear to have the background needed to help Intel going forward, adding, "our bet is that Intel goes outside for its new CEO."
Based on his conversations with Intel sources, technology analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy agreed that Otellini's decision to step down was his own and that he probably "reached a point in his life where he just wanted to do something different."
But Moorhead also suspects Intel may be inclined to hire a CEO from outside, especially "somebody with a pedigree in a large company who understands how to move a major ship and move it along quickly." That's because he said Intel faces one of its biggest challenges since being founded in 1968.
One such challenge occurred in the late 1980s when it was battling intense competition from Japanese companies and decided to shift from making memory chips to brainy microprocessors. Another happened in 1994, when Intel revealed an embarrassing flaw in its Pentium processor. And a few years ago, it had to play catch-up when Advanced Micro Devices of Sunnyvale beat it to the market with a 64-bit chip.
Now Intel, which provides more than 80 percent of the microprocessors used in personal computers, is struggling to branch out into the smartphone and tablet market, which mostly use more power-efficient chips made by companies licensing a design from British firm ARM Holdings. Some analysts have put Intel's share at less than one percent in those mobile devices.
But while it may make sense for Intel to continue trying to get its chips into tablets, J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Danely believes it should stop trying to expand into smartphones, software and some other new markets. Contending the company too often has failed trying to expand into other businesses, he said it should stick with the PC business now because "that's the only thing these guys can do well."

Baked Turkey Croquettes
Not sure what to do with all your leftover turkey? Croquettes are a perfect way to use your leftover turkey!
I grew up eating these, but my mom always fries hers. I was hoping to make them lighter by baking them instead, and the results were great. I sprayed them generously with my misto and then baked them. Top them with a little turkey gravy or chicken gravy and serve with and a vegetable on the side. These also make great appetizers. You could substitute chicken breast for turkey if you wish. Enjoy!
If you're feeling like a sandwich instead, Skinny Turkey Cubans are delicious!! Or as someone mentioned on my facebook fanpage, you can make Skinny Turkey Nachos using shredded leftover turkey instead of ground turkey.

SEMMERING, Austria - Veronika Velez Zuzulova of Slovakia upset the favorites to win a World Cup night slalom Saturday for her first career victory.
She trailed overall World Cup leader Tina Maze by 0.55 seconds after the opening leg but overtook the Slovenian with a near-flawless final run. Velez Zuzulova finished in a combined time of 1 minute, 37.28 seconds. Kathrin Zettel of Austria was 0.10 back. Maze was third, 0.20 behind.
The rest of the field finished more than a second behind Velez Zuzulova, who celebrated her victory by lying face-down in the snow in the finish area for about 30 seconds.
"A while ago I was almost thinking that it's impossible to win one day," said the 28-year-old Velez Zuzulova, who has been racing on the World Cup circuit since 2000.
The Slovakian, who married her French coach Romain Velez in the offseason, said attacking was her only tactic for the final run.
"After the first run I was really happy," Velez Zuzulova said. "But the second run was really difficult, as I knew Kathrin had a good time. I had to attack; it was the only way I could win."
Zettel said she was "super happy" to finish second.
"To get this result in front of your home crowd is such a great feeling," she said.
Teenager Mikeala Shiffrin of the United States, who led the slalom standings going into the race, straddled a gate and didn't finish her second run.
Defending overall champion Lindsey Vonn missed the race while recovering from an intestinal illness, and world slalom champion Marlies Schild of Austria is out for three months after knee surgery.
Maze earned her 11th podium finish of the season, took the lead in the slalom standings and extended her overall lead. But she still couldn't hide her disappointment about losing her commanding first-run lead.
Maze leads the overall World Cup standings with 1,059 points, 427 ahead of Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, who finished fourth in the night slalom. Vonn is 645 points behind in fifth place.
"I am bit emotional," Maze said. "The year is ending; I am skiing so good. It's amazing."
Vonn has yet to decide if she will return to the circuit for speed racing from Jan. 10-13 at one of her favorite venues, St. Anton, Austria, said U.S. women's coach Alex Hoedlmoser.
The women's World Cup continues with two more slaloms - in Munich on Jan. 1 and a night race three days later in Zagreb, Croatia.
BORMIO, Italy - Even in a sport where races are often decided by hundredths of seconds, the results of Saturday's classic Bormio downhill were so tight that even the most experienced skiers were left stunned.
Hannes Reichelt of Austria and Dominik Paris of Italy shared victory with the same time on the Stelvio course - usually considered the circuit's most physically demanding - and the top four finishers were separated by a mere two-hundredths of a second in one of the closest finishes ever.
"On a hill as tough as this to have a race that close, that's surprising," said overall World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal, who finished third. "The crazy thing is we were fast in different sections."
Paris took the early lead by clocking 1 minute, 58.62 seconds for his first career win and Reichelt matched him to give Austria its first speed win of the season.
Svindal finished 0.01 seconds behind - the smallest possible margin - and Klaus Kroell of Austria was fourth, missing out on a podium finish despite being just 0.02 behind the winners.
"It's for sure the tightest race I've ever been in," added Svindal, who sat out training Friday with a sore throat. "Obviously 0.01 is extremely tight and you wonder what you could have done to be faster than the winner, but that's always the case. The race is over. I had a good run and I'll take third place today."
It was the ninth time two men tied for victory on the World Cup circuit, but the first time four racers finished within 0.02 of each other - among men or women.
In the super-G at the 1999 world championships in Vail, Colo., Lasse Kjus and Hermann Maier shared victory, with Hans Knauss 0.01 behind in third. However, the fourth-place finisher in that race, Stephan Eberharter, was 0.22 back.
There was also a downhill in Panorama, British Columbia, in 1992 won by William Besse, with Daniel Mahrer and Guenther Mader sharing second - each 0.01 behind. AJ Kitt was fourth in that race, 0.19 behind.
Among the women, there was a three-way victory in a giant slalom in 2002 in Soelden, Austria, between Nicole Hosp, Tina Maze and Andrine Flemmen. But again fourth place was further behind.
Travis Ganong was the top American finisher in seventh, a best-career result.
"When I train I push it to a certain amount and it's smooth and fast and consistent, and I reached that level today," Ganong said.

Can anyone tell me the rules regarding protests. Specifically, can a manager protest a length of game issue and when does the protest need to be filed?
We stopped a game after 1:54, 6 minutes short of our local rule. The reason was the game had started 55 minutes late and we had three games backing up behind it.
Also, who makes up the protest committee. Book says player agent, division director, and president. Any one else?
Normally, a protest can only be lodged when a manager believes that a playing rule has been misinterpreted. (Judgement calls, or official pitch count are non-negoatiable.)
In most cases, a protest for a rule violation after play must be announced prior to the next pitch or play. Otherwise, it is moot.
For protests that deal with ineligible players, including pitchers who have failed to meet rest requirements, these must be lodged before the umps lave the field.
However, for Little league specifically, some protests may be allowed (especially during tournament play) up to and including a point after the game. I don't have my book with me, so I cannot be more specific. And other rule books state what those associations will allow.
Now, to your local house rules. Since I do not know the details of them, I can at best speculate. But it seems that a protest of that rule "interpretation" should have been placed before the umps left the field. But I would ask the following: How many innings did you complete in the 1:54 minutes? [Someone needs to manage the game better, I think.] And what happens at 2 hours time? Does it say you are forced to quit? And if your house rules say that you must concede to backed-up games, then I suggest that you are outta luck!
I suspect that your are too late to protest. Do you have a beef with the board? Well, maybe, and maybe not! Somebody coordinated on your house procedures that says what you are supposed to do when you start backing up games. The time to have discussed that was back before the season started. By implication, all the managers should have know this one. And it sounds like playing 6 more minutes would have has as much effect as pouring a Pepsi into a blast furnance.
Mike CVUA
Thanks Mike. The local rule says no inning may start after 2 hours. By the exact reading of the rule, the game should have continued. The understanding was to be reasonable in the case of backed up games. I didn't see the wisdom in continuing since there were only 6 minutes left. I felt that was reasonable. They had already completed 5 innings.
Sounds like thet will resume where it was left off.
If you completed 5 full innings (or 4-1/2 if the home team were ahead)--and the game was not tied--then the rules specify that a winner can be declared based on what constitutes a regulation game.
So if the game were not tied, it's not likely to be resumed.
Mike CVUA
If, at the bottom of the fifth, you han't reached the two hour mark, per your local rules you should start and finish the sixth. So a protest would be valid, if submitted before the umpires had left the field.
Someone on the field needs to be the holder of the clock, on timed games. "Close enough" should never be a consideration. The bell rings when the third out is made at the bottom of the inning, and we've started new innings with just a handful of seconds left to go in the past. Fair is fair, and when you decide to go by a clock, you need to do it right.
This should have been protested (by the manager who's team was behind).
If Protested, it should be upheld and the 6th inning re-scheduled for a later date.
By ending the game before the time limit the umpire took away an opportunity for the trailing team to win the game.
Now, if this was LL Majors, "by Regulation" you can't have a time limit.
The "Exception" is if the game is the first night game on a field that has another game following it.
Do leagues put time limits on major games (say on a Saturday when there are 5 or 6 games scheduled on the same field) of course they do.
Is it against LL Regulations, Yes it is.
Do the leagues get a Waiver for it - most likely not!
Tom: As to who makes up the Protest Committee, if you are talking Little League, and I believe you are, Rule *4.19(f) applies.
Quoting 4.19(f)...."A committee composed of the president, player agent, league's umpire-in-chief, and one or more other officers or directors who are not managers or umpires shall hear and resolve.......protests."
But, not without its caveat re "not managers or umpires" as explained in Reg: I(b)--
If the president serves as a manager, coach, or umpire, he/she cannot serve on the protest committe.
A player agent cannot manage, coach, or umpire in their respective divisions. If only one player agent is on the board, he/she represents ALL the divisions within the league, thus, cannot manage, coach, or umpire in any division....and can serve on the protest committee hearing protests from ALL divisions----providing compliance with the restriction as stated..
However, for example, if more than one player agent on the board,, Joe and Susie--Joe for the minor division and Susie for the majors. If Joe serves as player agent for the minors he can manage, coach, or umpire in the majors: but in doing so cannot serve on the protest committee. {No rule against having more than one player agent on the board]
Susie, in compliance with not being a manager, coach or umpire in any division, can serve on the protest committee, addressing (legal) protests filed by any division manager within her league.
*Note: 4.19(f) says nothing about a coach, but Reg: I(b) does. I believe an error of omission, in that regard, applies to 4.19(f)
Hopefully, needlless to say, all above relates to regular season play. T-All-Star play...protests, go to Williamsport.
BTW---FWIW---LL Inc., holds no truck with a league that "buries" the title of player agent, and his/her duties, with some other title when complying with at least one being titled as player agent, to comply with that mandate.... and "covering" another with a title that allows that person to manage, coach, or umpire in the division ,he/she represents. It's been known to happen locally----and corrected!

A woman who tried to ram the gate into the White House was shot dead Thursday after she led police on a chase through Washington and wounded at least one police officer.
�Shelter in place,� Capitol police officers responding to the crisis barked out.
The House, which had been in the midst of heated debates over how to end the government shutdown, immediately went into recess.

The Lymphocyte Biology Section (LBS) studies basic aspects of innate and adaptive immune function, with an emphasis on the discrimination between self and foreign peptide-associated MHC molecules by T-cells as well as on T-cell antigen-presenting cell interactions and the subsequent delivery of effector function. Experiments at the biochemical, cell, tissue, and organism levels are used to build a more complete picture of both the operation of and the interface between the adaptive and innate immune systems, including the use of novel microscopic live animal imaging methods and a new technique for highly multiplex analysis of cell phenotype, signaling state, and function in complex tissue environments. Efforts are also underway to create computer models of immune function, both at the tissue and single cell level, with a current emphasis on TLR signaling pathways. Collaborative work is also underway to use systems methods to analyze the human immune response. The aim of this work is to create a detailed understanding of how immune responses to foreign pathogens or self antigens are initiated and unfold, as well as to develop new tools for predicting how the immune system will respond if perturbed, for example, by a candidate vaccine.
For more insight into the research of LBS and Dr. Germain, read "Ron Germain: Towards a grand unified theory," an interview that appears in the February 15, 2010, issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Imaging Immune Cell Dynamics and Function
LBS has made numerous contributions to the understanding of the cell biology of antigen processing and presentation by MHC class I and especially class II molecules. It also pioneered development of monoclonal antibodies to specific peptide-MHC molecule complexes and their use for visualization of the antigen presentation.
We have now moved from these studies of MHC-peptide ligand formation to studies of the recognition of these ligands by T cells. An exciting development is the establishment of multiphoton microscopy methods for real-time, high-resolution visualization of immune-cell dynamics in situ. This new technology is being used in conjunction with more conventional molecular and cellular immunological methods to: 1) describe the dynamics of innate and adaptive immune cell movement in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissue environments and to uncover the underlying mechanisms driving and guiding this cell movement; 2) localize the sites and duration of the cell-cell interactions involved in the development of adaptive immune responses; 3) analyze how differences in these aspects of cell migration and interaction affect differentiation events and functional immunity; and 4) investigate the dynamic behavior and effector activities of innate and adaptive immune cells in non-lymphoid sites, especially in the context of infections with various microbial and parasitic agents.
Our studies have allowed us to determine how long a T cell spends in contact with an antigen-bearing dendritic cell, the role of both physical (the fibroblastic reticular cell network in lymph nodes) and chemical (chemokine) cues in controlling T-cell migration in secondary lymphoid tissues, the contribution of dendritic cell-associated antigens to the activation of naïve B cells in vivo, the importance of SAP in differential attachment of T cells to antigen-presenting dendritic cells versus B cells and in germinal center formation, the involvement of neutrophils in Leishmania infection of the skin, epithelial cell TLR control of dendritic-cell extension into the gut lumen for bacterial sampling, and the interplay of myeloid and lymphoid cells within mycobacterial granulomas in the liver. Videos from published papers reporting these findings are available in the Videos tab.
Together, these studies are beginning to create a comprehensive picture of how immune cells traffic and interact during the earliest stages of immune responses, during the initiation of adaptive immunity, and during the delivery of effector functions in peripheral tissues.
Analysis and Modeling of T Cell Ligand Discrimination and Activation Control
A second major focus of LBS is on how antigen-receptor binding events are translated into intracellular signals regulating T-cell activation and differentiation. Previous contributions include an early description of TCR antagonists and partial agonists, the discovery that such ligands induce distinct early tyrosine phosphorylation events, and the recognition that the "wiring" connecting ligand engagement of the TCR to gene activation was modified during development to support effective positive and negative selection.
Ongoing work centers on dissecting the molecular basis for antigen discrimination and developmental changes in receptor-response linkage. We have identified two novel feedback regulatory pathways that help the T cell discriminate functionally between ligands of closely related structure. Such selectivity is at the heart of physiologic self/non-self discrimination. We have also uncovered evidence for a very important role of self-recognition in responses to foreign antigen that help explain the contribution of thymic-positive selection to adaptive immunity. These data are now being expanded by identification and analysis of additional TCR-linked feedback regulatory pathways involved in the control of T-cell activation and effector responses, as well as by the development of integrated computational models of early ligand discrimination by the TCR and downstream feedback control of intracellular signaling pathways. These mechanistic studies complement higher-order imaging studies in the development of a multiscale understanding of immune function. See all videos from LBS Research.

Hey there.
Whoever likes to play BTD5 (or any BTD versions) should look at this game called BTD Battles. And what is that?
It's an 1 vs 1 game, you win if your opponent loses all his lives (150). There are two different modes to play:
1) Assault: you can send bloons at your opponent;
2) Defend: you can't send bloons at your opponent and you need to hold out longer than your opponent. I recommend that you try to play "Assault mode" while you're still not used to play this game. Defend mode is not very easy for beginner players.
You also can play a private match! Call a friend and play together.

Nothing can stop Jack Bauer, dammit! Not even a cancellation notice.
Four long years after Fox pulled the plug on the TV thrill ride known as "24," Kiefer Sutherland's iconic action hero is back on the clock in "24: Live Another Day." Apparently, the world needs to be bailed out of deep doo-doo at least one more time.
Only now, things are a bit different. Jack comes to us via prime time's latest trend: The limited "event" series. Although "Live Another Day" still unfolds in "real time," it consists of only 12 turbocharged episodes, instead of 24. And it's shot entirely in London, where the beleaguered Bauer goes mano a mano with a whole new collection of dirt bags.
But some things never change. The revived "24" is still instantly involving and packed with a dizzying rush of suspenseful crescendos. The new Jack, meanwhile, is the same as the old Jack, which is to say he flips the bird in the face of terror and squirms his way out of major messes like a gun-toting Houdini -- all while managing to make a man purse look good.
Let's rewind: The last time we saw Mr. Bauer, he was being told by a disgraced President Taylor to flee the country, because both the Russian and American authorities would be gunning for him. He did, after all, plot to assassinate the Russian president. So he bid a sentimental goodbye to his loyal wing woman, Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub), and dropped off the grid with hopes of maybe someday resurfacing at a movie theater near you.
The big-screen idea never panned out. Instead, Jack is popping up across the pond around the same time the CIA has intercepted a death threat against the new and visiting U.S. President James Heller (William Devane). Concerned that Jack might have some connection to the threat, CIA operations chief Steve Navarro (Benjamin Bratt) sics his men on the "high-value suspect" during a frantic chase through the streets of London.
But CIA field operative Kate Morgan (Yvonne Strahovski) smells something fishy, and it's not just because Jack was apprehended near the river. She wonders how a stealthy former agent, who has eluded capture all these years, was snared with relative ease. She makes it her mission to find out.
Half the fun of watching "Live Another Day" is reconnecting with old friends at different stages of their lives. Chloe, for example, is back, but she's not the same snarky data analyst we came to love. She has joined an underground WikiLeaks kind of group and has become much more hardened and punked-out, as her heavy eyeliner will attest. When she and Jack reunite, there is instant friction.
Also back is Jack's former flame Audrey Raines (Kim Raver). She's now serving as a coddling aide to her father, the aging president, and is married to his uptight chief of staff, Mark Boudreau (Tate Donovan). The latter is understandably threatened by Jack's return.
As for Sutherland, he's all buffed up and chomps into his signature role with customary gusto. Is he up for a little fiery gunplay and ghastly torture? Sure. Will he unleash a sleeper hold or two? Absolutely. Does he utter his trademark "Dammit!" before the first hour is over? Of course, even though we're in the UK, this ain't no "Downton Abbey."
Fox made the first two episodes of "Live Another Day" available for review, which is a somewhat superfluous exercise because, 1) by now, "24" is pretty much critic-proof. You either roll with its adrenaline-laced craziness or not, and 2) the show's early episodes have always been taut and gripping. It's the middle-to-late hours where "24" so often succumbs to lame twists and wild leaps of implausibility. That's why a 12-episode edition of "24," at this stage, seems enticing. On the other hand, poor Jack now has even less time to kick butt and deliver us from evil.
UNEASY LAUGHS: Next Monday also brings the very welcome return of "Louie" (10 p.m., FX), the critically lauded, semi-autobiographical sitcom that takes the humor of discomfort to new heights.
The show is back for its fourth season following a 19-month hiatus, during which writer, director and star Louis C.K. recharged his batteries and worked on other projects. FX will air back-to-back episodes on Monday nights for seven weeks through June 16.
The opener follows a "typical day" in the life of the ruminative sad sack, including a trip to an insensitive doctor. The even funnier second episode has Louie, at the urging of Jerry Seinfeld, doing a benefit gig in the Hamptons that goes very badly.

SAN MATEO -- Before his team's West Catholic Athletic League showdown Saturday against unbeaten Archbishop Mitty, Serra coach Patrick Walsh never paid attention to his team's uncertain chances of making the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs.
He simply knew that a win would take care of everything.
"In my mind, because of the nature of the point system and how things are, there was really nothing to consider or think about -- we're going to be here or here," Walsh said. "Meanwhile, we have an opportunity to win a WCAL title. What we can control is right in front of us. What we can control is an opportunity to hang a banner in the Serra gymnasium forever."
The banner will hang forever after Hamilton Anoa'i caught three touchdown passes from Matthew Fa'aita and intercepted a pass to stop a first-half Mitty scoring opportunity in a 31-7 victory that left both teams with a share of the league championship.
But because Serra (8-2, 6-1 WCAL) won the head-to-head matchup it will receive the league's automatic berth into the Open and will probably be seeded second behind unbeaten Terra Nova. Mitty (9-1, 6-1) will receive the Open's fifth seed and will likely travel to Palma for a first-round game.
Serra built a two-touchdown halftime lead and put the game out of reach when Anoa'i, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament against Mitty last season, scored his third and final touchdown. The 69-yard reception extended Serra's lead to 31-7 early in the fourth quarter.
"We knew we were a good team, but we were always beating ourselves," Anoa'i said. "We tried to cut down on our mistakes today, and I feel like we did a good job of that. Coaches got us well prepared for the game. We just came out and did our assignments."
Even before the clinching score, Anoa'i had done a lot to give Serra a comfortable advantage. After Vince Camp returned an interception deep into Mitty territory, Anoa'i pulled down an 18-yard throw from Fa'aita to make it 7-0.
The two teamed again later in the first quarter as Fa'aita rolled left and found Anoa'i for a 24-yard touchdown.
Mitty got back in the game briefly on a 66-yard pass from Trenton Scharrenberg to Tommy Hudson, who caught the ball over the middle and outran the defense to the goal line.
The Monarchs then drove inside the Serra 20 before two penalties moved them back to the 29. The series ended when Anoa'i intercepted a ball that floated into the air after another Serra player and a Mitty receiver wrestled for possession along the sideline.
"They went down, and the ball popped out," Anoa'i said.
Kevin McGee's 5-yard run late in the half stretched Serra's lead to 21-7, and Mitty never recovered.
Asked what he told his players afterward, Mitty coach Matt Haniger said, "I basically told them they showed up to play, and we hurt ourselves early as far as jumping offsides six or seven times, putting ourselves in a hole. But even considering we had played a pretty poor half of football, we had an opportunity where we were 30 yards away from tying it up.
"But they were very physical, and they did a nice job of putting pressure on us and creating turnovers."
Walsh had similar praise for his team.
"I think this was our best performance of the year -- against a very good team," Walsh said.

Middle East media watchdog group critical of Keene Sentinel, alleges 'defamation' of Israel, Jews
A frequent contributor to this thinly veiled anti-Jewish vitriol is former Keene State history professor, James Smart, who weaves intricate conspiracies implicating Israel and its Jewish-American supporters. Smart denies he is anti-Semitic, although in the fringe publications like Veterans Today and Veterans News Now, he describes the "Zionist controlled American media" and defames numerous Jewish Americans in public service as secretly in the service of Israel.

Batting Average: .760 (84/110)
The two ratings are Batting Average and GHI. Both are defined below.
BA: The total number of stars achieved divided by the total possible stars a concert can achieve. Each song can achieve a total possible 5 stars, 5 being the best, 0 being the worst. Therefore, each show receives anywhere from a 1.0 to a .001.
GHI: This rating is used in The Phish Companion 2nd Ed. Each show is given a score from 0 to 5, five being the best and 0 being the worst.
The two scores are synonymous. I like the BA form better because each show receives a score closer to its worth depending on how you rated it.
The drive in was great with some friends and it was definitely a hot summers day. We spent those 9 hours watching the Clifford Ball DvD and enjoying the nice hot day. That dvd for some reason had runawayjim stapled on repeat in my mind until we got in the show for the opener....
Runaway Jim
The hood was trademark 3.0 trey with whale calls (I don't dislike that new pedal or whatever it is... I actually am happy that I got to see this new style he's messing with in the 2009 tour.)
But yea, the first set was almost a show in it's own.
To get started off w/ Runaway Jim was just like a BLAST OFF but then PYitE was kinda like a, bring it back go one, restarting of the show all over again. I really dug it.
Then to Ocelot which was the first time I had ever heard it and the 3rd time they played live... I think this song is a great tune that represents the new album and even era very well. Not only in style but lyric-ly and symbolically of where the band (and specifically Trey) is/was at that moment in time.
(honestly I think it has a lot to do with sobriety "You prance with the beasts that parade every night. And silently slouch through the forest twilight.
Dont be the only one left on the block. Come hide in the heard and float with the flock" that seems really 12-step like and also kinda like... yo dude, let's all get our head out of our asses unless we wanna be alone "on the block" thus becoming lonely opiate or w/e addicts.)
Anyways.. that song stuck out for me, being the first time I heard it. It automatically made me think of Trey's sobriety.
Foam was good. Never loved it but it was a great groove and excellent version.
Love Train Song, never thought I would get that my first show. Undermind.. meh
Mike's Groove - so happy to hear that as well on my first show, and at this point it was all surreal... I wasn't tripping or anything but singing runaway jim as I was walking up the ramp from it being stuck in my head, then hearing a mike's>hydro>groove, I was just in awe.
Coil... excellent, my buddy that was at the show w/ me loves coil and I was sure that was marking the end of the set... nope Character Zero. and they rocked the house with this one as well.
Second set started with Back on the Train which was also very appropriate... Waves into A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing was good but the David Bowie was mo'bettah. Army of One was good too... Page nailed it, Trey's wailing whale calls fit in with it pretty well. Reba (hell yes), Hello My Baby.... I absolutely love when they barber shop it. dank.
I was worried next was encore.. WRONG Julius (ok we're done right?) Wrong. CAVERN (rockin!) done? NOPE
HARRY HOOD! My favorite phish song and this version was 3.0 all the way. I love this song so much and was so happy to hear a version like this. I love NYE 93 and Jazz Fest 96 and a ton of other 94-98 versions and a million and a half more.. but this was my first live and I was so happy to hear (what I thought) was a very original, new style, version.
Then some keytar'd Frankenstein... they rocked my socks off
Great first show... I was hooked.
PS I have an extra superball ix VIP pass... msg me if you need/want one.
Thanks for reading this mess of a written review.
(would I download this show? yes.
which songs would I download for sure... Runaway, Ocelot, Train Song Mike's Groove, COil, Back on the train, A Song I Heard the ocean sing (though it's not my favorite song) D Bowie, Julius, Cavern, HARRY HOOD, Frankenstein.
It was a nice (lil') show. Checkout PYITE. Foam. Waves. Reba. Hello My Baby & a very tight Julius....and I do remember feeling a little rumble beneath my feet during Bowie.

Toddler Hospitalized After Fall From Bleachers
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 11:34 a.m.

ST. PETERSBURG | A 2-year-old boy fell 15 feet from the top of a set of makeshift bleachers Saturday night during the East versus West Shrine Game at Tropicana Field.
The boy, whose name officials did not release, was crawling up the bleachers just before 7 p.m. and fell through a small gap, St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue officials said. Rescue workers took the boy to Bayfront Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.
"He was crying, alert and oriented," said Fire and Rescue spokesman Joel Granata.
It wasn't immediately known how badly the boy was injured, but he was expected to be okay, Granata said. He was rushed to Bayfront as a "trauma alert" because of his age and the distance that he fell.

Modest Job Growth, Less Take-Home Pay Is Recipe for Depressed Consumer
Worries about the consumer outlook are elevated. First, despite a surprise pop in November, hiring is not accelerating at the end of 2012. Second, consumers are more pessimistic about the future as households realize they likely face higher tax bills next year. Modest job growth and less take-home pay won't support substantial increases in consumer spending.
At first glance, the November job gain of 146,000 was a positive surprise. Economists had expected only an 80,000 increase because of Sandy, but the Labor Department said the superstorm had little impact.
But labor demand isn't as strong as the November number suggests. That's because Labor also revised down hiring in September and October. Job growth over the past three months averaged 139,000 per month.
That's below the 157,000 average of the past year, and is only fast enough to hold the unemployment rate steady or to reduce it very gradually. (The unemployment rate dropped to 7.7% last month only because more Americans dropped out of the labor force, not because more job seekers found work.)
And then there is the fiscal cliff threatening the outlook. The consumer survey compiled by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan showed an unexpectedly large drop in economic sentiment and expectations in early December.
Economists at Goldman Sachs wrote in a research note, "Worries about the fiscal cliff figured prominently in the survey responses, with 25% making negative references to the likelihood of higher taxes." (Indeed, the drop in sentiment was larger in high-income households than that for lower-earning consumers.)
Fiscal worries also showed up in the consumer survey released Thursday by the Royal Bank of Canada. The survey found a large 38% of consumers say the fiscal cliff has worsened their view of the recovery. And 13% say the potential negatives of the fiscal cliff has caused them to reduce purchases or investments.
That's bad for retailers hoping for a successful holiday shopping season. Workers who realize their paychecks will shrink in January–the same time they plan to pay off the credit bills run up in December–may be looking over their gift lists and rethinking how generous they want to be this year.

Newark-based PSE&G said it intends to spend nearly half the money—$1.7 billion —to relocate substations and switches or to fortify them from storm surges. The company also wants to strengthen power distribution lines and make the electrical grid easier to repair.
New Jersey, like other places, has seen more frequent and more damaging storms, including Tropical Storm Irene and an ice storm in 2011. During Superstorm Sandy last year, 2 million of the company's 2.2 million customers lost power. The company says 800,000 would not have been knocked out if the proposed upgrades were in place. And the rest would have had service returned sooner.
"How we live and do business is so dependent on energy that any outage is hard to tolerate," PSE&G Chairman and CEO Ralph Izzo said in a statement. "Sandy was a defining event for all of us. The state's entire energy infrastructure needs to be rethought in light of weather conditions that many predict will continue to occur."
PSE&G serves about three-fourths of New Jersey electrical customers, including many in the suburbs of both Philadelphia and New York City.
The company said ratepayers would see no increases or small ones on their bills so long as the price of producing natural gas and electricity continues to drop.
Almost as soon as PSE&G filed its proposal, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce gave its support. "Investing in a reliable and resilient energy infrastructure that is better able to withstand powerful and damaging storms like Sandy and other natural disasters will help keep New Jersey competitive and open for business," chamber President and CEO Thomas Bracken said in a statement.
The proposal requires approval of the state Board of Public Utilities. A spokesman said the board cannot comment on matters before it.
Generally, there's an incentive for investor-owned regulated utilities like PSE&G have to invest in large projects such as power plants, transmission lines and substations because that's how they can best increase profits for shareholders.
Regulators allow utilities to earn a greater rate of return—typically around 10 percent—for big capital-intensive projects than for simply delivering electricity. The reason is that regulators need to give utilities an incentive to invest in big-ticket items that could improve the system. New Jersey does not have a set rate of return on infrastructure investments, but rather decides them on a case-by-case basis.
Investors cheer when these projects are allowed because they increase electric rates. But they are not always good news for customers. Even if the proposed project does not raise utility bills, it would keep them from dropping as much as they otherwise would because of cheaper energy generation.
PSE&G's plans call for updating all its substations that were either flooded during Sandy—a storm that caused $250 million to $300 million in damage to the company's infrastructure—or are included in new federal advisory flood maps as areas in danger.
Besides high winds felling trees across the state, Sandy caused havoc for the power company because of the storm surge on the Hudson, Hackensack and Passaic Rivers in northern New Jersey.
Other major projects in the company's plan include more than $1 billion to update gas lines in flood zones and $450 million to update monitoring systems to make it easier to locate the sources of outages.
PSE&G's Izzo has a prominent place in the state, not only as head of one of the state's key companies but as chairman of the Board of Governors for Rutgers University. In that capacity, Izzo has overseen the hiring of a new university president and a reconfiguration of the state's higher education system.

USA, 2013, 83 Minute Running Time
ENDS THURSDAY at Sie FilmCenter.
Shortlisted by the Academy as one of the best 15 docs of the year!
God Loves Uganda explores the role of the American evangelical movement in Uganda, where American missionaries have been credited with both creating schools and hospitals and promoting dangerous religious bigotry.
The film follows evangelical leaders in America and Uganda along with politicians and missionaries as they attempt the task of eliminating "sexual sin" and converting Ugandans to fundamentalist Christianity.
"The terrifying consequences of using the Bible to inspire homophobia seem of no concern to the missionaries of the Missouri-based International House of Prayer, whose speaking-in-tongues fanaticism virtually drowns out the film's more rational religious representatives. That's not necessarily a bad thing: with so many extremists on hand, [there's] no need for narration. [The director] simply stands back and allows his most deluded interviewees to fashion their own nooses." - The New York Times, Critic's Pick!
"Whatever the state of homophobia in Uganda — which [is likened] to an incipient wildfire — God Loves Uganda clearly lays the blame for it at the feet of the American evangelical movement. The movie doesn't really argue its case, preferring to stand back, in quiet outrage, as the representatives of that movement are shown with the match in their hands." - The Washington Post

We needed that win to secure a 4th spot, then a continued win would've made sure we're on the way to being in the CL next season.. The players blew it.. It was down to Rodgers to hammer that point home, ,that how important that game was... Now it could well be nigh on impossible to gain a CL place.. Suarez saying he wants CL football.. well why in the hell didn't you score and make that happen at Southampton? Mr Suarez...
Bill Shankly actually stated its on archive film check it out..."For me a player not giving 100% on behalf of the team and his team mates is a disgrace in fact hes far worse than that and if I could Id put that man in jail because thats where he belongs !"
Loki...Im just not convinced by Rogers as a coach think he isnt a motivator just an opinion. My gripe was about the manner in which we played the game..no fight , apparently no stamina heads down most of the time sorry mate wont do, not for me. We win four games and its as if we won the League title FA CUP and ECLC ? We used to regularly go on unbeaten runs of 15 20 games overthe decades Ive been a supporter ...4 games ...big deal ! Anyway you wina game in The Prem u move on one game at a time so whats the relevance of having won the previous 4 games they are gone done with and at Southampton we were damned lucky not to have come home to Merseyside after losing by a cricket score. We can talk about the last game till we play the next one then hopefully the boys ...and the manager..redeem themselves for probably what was the worst performance Ive ever witnessed from a Liverpool side.

I'm with you in part Colin. I cannot tolerate a complete lack of effort like I saw against Southampton. That's just not acceptable. I'm not screaming for heads and I can tolerate losing games but there is some serious kicking of the arris needed within the playing squad. There's something unhealthy I don't like in there.

I wonder how long Rodgers has at LFC.. we're a laughing stock..it's 1 step forward 3 steps back.. Southampton should've been an easy win after the Spurs game..

Armchair...sorry mate good to have u back on the board but truth is we were played off the park today by a superb performance from a very good side. Id read theyd been playing some good stuff but just hadnt been getting their just reward as the breaks had gone against them. EvenSAF said they were the best side hed seen at their place this season and compliments are few and far between from that man. With u though on the BR thing the man has made more howlers again in his starting selection ..seemed like rotation for the sake of rotation to me BUT if he starts that numpty Joe Allen again this season then I think FSG should hand him his cards immediately...if not before !

At about 7:50 a.m. Tuesday, a rollover accident near the intersection of Moccasin and 17th Avenue injured Anthony Brown of Galva.
Brown was driving a red Dodge Ram east on Moccasin road when he lost control on some loose gravel and went into the north ditch. Brown overcorrected and overturned into the south ditch. Deputies report that Brown was pinned under the roof of the truck by his arm, and firefighters used the jaws of life to pry him free.
Brown was transported to McPherson Hospital by EMS personnel. The extent of his injuries are unknown at this time.

Related story: George Takei, 'Star Trek's' Mr. Sulu, talks gay rights, a childhood spent in internment camps
Photo galleries: George Takei at Cal Poly Pomona | George Takei: Oh My
George Takei, 'Star Trek's' Mr. Sulu, talked about social justice in a digital world Tuesday at the Bronco Student Center at Cal Poly Pomona.
Takei took the stage after a standing ovation from the crowd of about 100 people and right away said, "Ohhh, my!"
Takei began his discussion with diversity equals strength and then talked about the Japanese American experience during World War II.
"We were told we would stay in a narrow horse stall," said Takei, of Japanese American internment at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.
"What would be grotesquely abnormal in normal times became normal in the internment camp," Takei continued.
He spoke about his time in the internment camps at the age of 5. "It's remarkable how young children can be adaptable," Takei said of the poor living conditions at the park.
Our first home after internment camps was in a Skid Row hotel, he explained.
After the war, Takei said the hatred against Japanese-Americans was intense.
Takei also talked about other experiences while growing up. He said he remembers being 9 years old when friends were saying, "Monica is hot," and all he could think is, "Bobby is hot."
When Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed and stopped equality and advancement of gays in 2005, Takei said he was livid.
He explained that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are part of family. Why do we want to put up barriers to our own kin?
He started using social media to tell get the word out to "sci-fi, nerds and geeks" about his musical "Allegiance," which will be opening in the fall on Broadway in New York.
Takei explained that we've made great progress in equality and diversity, but we still need to be optimistic and keep on pushing forward.
More details to come.

Read more: 101 year old counted in 1911 and now 2011 census
This weekend the 2011 census of Ireland was taken. The 1911 cenusus (now online), taken one 100 years ago, has allowed millions to trace their Irish roots just like Robert Sullivan.
I had no reason to wonder about the year 1911 when I entered Waterstones in Cork City to buy a book with the gift token my thoughtful neighbor, Betty, had given me.
I settled, after much browsing in that wonderful world of words, on the fine work on Tom Crean, Antartic explorer, written by Michael Smith.
At home I sat at the kitchen table, radio humming in the background, and had an initial flick through the pages of the beautiful photographs which make the book irresistible.
There is a great deal of reference to 1911 all through the work, as it was a defining year in Crean's life; it being a year of frantic preparation for the Scott race to the South Pole.
Suddenly, my attention was altered to the radio, where a woman was recounting her delight in discovering on the internet her family details contained in the 1911 census.
My morning had the effect that I felt I had no choice now but to further investigate the year 1911 for myself.
Beginning the search in the 1911 census
Making a beeline to the laptop, I simply googled "1911 census" and it magically appeared.
I enjoyed the momentary excitement of possibly discovering some details of my own clan, having grown up when the difficulties of 1950s Ireland left little time for harking back to even an even more frugal era.
The census was conducted on April 2, 1911, and the moment I began my Bantry search, I was aware of entering, in a very real way, the lives of those who lived in the place, almost 100 years ago.
The comprehensive digital compilation makes it child's play to follow, and soon I was transported to the old town, where the actual census forms, filled out by the "head of household," are on display at the touch of a button.
The street names are all listed, so all one has to do is click on the road you know is relevant.
By now I felt my throat drying up at the prospect and privilege of being the first family member to look upon the handwriting of my grandfathers, one of whom, my father's dad, I had never heard anything about.
Did he even live in their home, I wondered? My own father, never one to speak much of his childhood, only ever told me his name was John.
I knew they lived on Church Road, and was astonished to learn they were not listed there. Dad had told me he was born there, so how could this be? Disappointment.
Nothing for it now but to go through the streets alphabetically, all 54 of them. Far from this extra work being a chore, it was a delightful experience.
My day was spent in the company of all the people of 2 April 1911, in Bantry town, who for that one day on the 10 August 2009, visited my house, and shared with me their intimate family details.
The mystery of why some held an "unmatching" name to their parents or siblings are innocently laid bare, for example, and when the name of Molly Sutton had a thin line drawn through it, and replaced with another surname, we know a closely guarded secret is being shyly admitted to.
Nicknames I remembered from childhood came to mind upon coming across a family associated with the mischievous addition. Nicknames were never friendly, I recall, and were more of a slur.
But they are fondly brought to mind now, many years removed from when they were a barb meant to be painfully stung by.
All those long ago old ghosts and friendly shadows are still everywhere around me, and I welcome them, not ready for them to leave, and hoping they'll stay.
These were people whose own family members would have been close to the history of the Famine, and indeed many of those listed had themselves survived its horrors of hunger and disease, as children.
Finding my grandfather
I had arrived at "K" in the list of streets, and came across "Knocknamuck" (Hill of the Pigs), and chuckled at the idea of the relentless ribbing for anyone who lived there.
This area is part of Church Road, which is on a hill, but as can be imagined, someone took offense at being saddled with such a hilarious address, and it was quietly abandoned over time. One never hears the name now.

We're always on the lookout for the new and unusual when we travel. So was Nancy Bush when she first ventured to Estonia in 1995, picking up several handknitted lace shawls as gifts for her mother. The more she studied those shawls, the more intrigued she became.
After a decade of research, Nancy Bush has assembled a comprehensive tribute to these shawls in her book, Knitted Lace of Estonia—which I review this week.

Twitter's First Step With New Music Strategy: Billboard Charts
Twitter on Thursday said it is teaming up with Billboard to create a chart tracking real-time conversations about music happening on Twitter. The partnership represents the first step of Twitter's new approach to capitalizing on the chatter about music taking place on the short messaging service.
It's a fresh start that focuses on keeping the conversation within the current service, a departure from its attempt to separate it out with a standalone app released last year that quickly faltered.
There is more to come. As The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, Twitter has sought to ink partnerships with music streaming services Beats Music and SoundCloud in recent weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Vevo, the music video company launched by Vivendi's Universal Music Group and Sony's Sony Music Entertainment, is working with Twitter to offer bite-sized music videos, according to people familiar with the matter.
The real-time Billboard chart will "create the new industry standard for tracking and surfacing the conversation around music as it happens," said Twitter in a released statement.
The two companies have also signed a Twitter Amplify partnership, the social media company's complement to TV ads. This will help dispense the real-time chart, which will live on Billboard.com, beyond the website.
The charts will trace the most buzzed about tracks and those shared by artists in real-time and over longer periods.
The Billboard chart is the first realized project from Bob Moczydlowsky, Twitter's new music head, since he joined the company from Topspin Media in September.
The aim is to help organize the noise around music, the most talked about subject on Twitter by its 54 million monthly active users in the U.S. Twitter #Music app, which was pulled from the iTunes store last week, was more about discovering new music on Twitter. The chart and Twitter's strategy going forward is to better leverage the over one billion tweets about music that were shot off in 2013.
About half of all Twitter users follow at least one musician, according to the San Francisco-based company. More than 100 million of those tweets came from music accounts.

Before seeing the movie, I saw Stephenie Meyer on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She said the end of the movie would be different than the book. She said they added a twist, but was certain the fans wouldn't be upset. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but OH MY GOD! To explain the reaction of this twist in a packed theater is almost indescribable. I was clawing my chair, biting my nails and shaking my head. I glanced at my friends to see their expressions. There were audible gasps and cheers. There was clapping and yelling. She was right. The fans weren't mad. The twist was brilliant.
Like past years, I attended the movie on opening night with my best girls. Once again, we wore matching shirts created by Olivia from Gnome Sweet Gnome. {Olivia, you rock!} We may have started with one group of girls and ended with another, but our tradition held strong. The last four years have been a blast. Now, if Stephenie Meyer would just write another book so we can do it all over again.

In addition to using cashew butter as a sandwich spread, its rich flavor makes it an ideal alternative to cream when thinned with liquid. It can be used to make soups, sauces, and dips. It is especially good in Indian dishes and curries. Because cashew butter is an unprocessed food, the oil and solids sometimes separate in the jar but can easily be stirred together before use.

We love looking for ways to build key skills through play—and music play is no exception! Experimenting with volume, rhythm, pitch, tone, movement, and repetition is a terrific way to build key skills such as fine motor, gross motor, auditory discrimination, patterning, matching, and much more.
But we admit: When we see a collection of instruments or hear a catchy tune on the radio, our first instinct is simply to get moving and grooving! Is there anything more joyful than a toddler mid-boogie dance or a school-age kid smiling crazily while he feels the beat? Music can feel so freeing, so individual . . . and at the same time, it is one of the most powerful ways to feel togetherness. In short, music—especially for kids—is all about FUN.
This week, we encourage you to crank up the tunes and enjoy exploring music together. Make a family playlist, or dig up some old favorites to share with your kids. Learn a scale on the award winning Learn to Play Piano or haul out the pots and pans. You can even try whistling on a plant leaf or blowing across an open bottle top. Look for music everywhere. And when you find it . . . dance to the music!

Sparkle is a module that developers can stick in their Cocoa applications (five-step install!) to get instant self-update functionality.
By that, I mean that your app will be able to update itself, not just check for new versions: it'll read the update information from an appcast on your server, download, extract, install, restart, and even offer to show the users release notes before they decide if they want to update.
Required OS: not specified

We're using this in Awaken and it's been working great! http://awakenapp.com
When I started looking for a way to update my app (ChocoFlop) automatically, I stumbled upon this. This is simple, very fast to implement and it works. This really makes every mac developer's life easier. Thanks Andy!
really nice!
We're using this in Adium 1.0, it's really slick.

Hey Joe, home-rule might the answer to the question I posted to you about Slum-Lords? Then the city could write its own laws concerning rental property instead of going by what the state says. What do you think?
