• For the season, Zavier Turner ranks 33rd in the country at 87.9 percent from the line, while Jesse Berry is the second best on the team at 83.1 percent.
• Turner led the nation in free throw percentage for several weeks earlier this season and made 27 straight free throws at one point, while Berry had a streak of 25 straight makes snapped Jan. 29 at Akron.

Bond Picking up His Scoring

• Bonzi Wells (1994-98) is the other. He ended his career with 2,485 points, 843 rebounds and 347 steals.
Ball State's Iron Man
• Senior forward Chris Bond has made 50 consecutive starts dating back to the last game of the 2011-12 season.
• Bond is the only Ball State player to start every game this season and was one of only two (Jauwan Scaife) to start all 30 a year ago.
• He has started 88 games in his career, including all 77 in which he has played over the past three seasons.
Majok One of the Nation's Best on the Boards
• Senior center Majok Majok leads the MAC and ranks 19th nationally in rebounding at 9.8 boards per game.
• He owns 12 double-digit rebounding games, including a career-best 18-rebound effort Jan. 3 against Oakland City. The 18 rebounds against Oakland City are the most in a game by a MAC player this season.
• Majok led the MAC last year and ranked 18th nationally at 9.8 rebounds per game.
Majok Majok's Double-Doubles
• Majok Majok is averaging just shy of a double-double at 11.1 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Only 15 players in the country are averaging a double-double.
• The last Cardinal to average a double-double in a season was Theron Smith, who tallied 19.6 points and 10.9 rebounds per game in 2001-02.
• Majok owns seven double-doubles on the year and 16 for his two-year Ball State career.
• With 25 points and 18 rebounds in the non-conference finale versus Oakland City, Majok became the first Ball State player with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in a game since Terrance Chapman did it in a January 2005 game at Eastern Michigan.
• For his two-year Ball State career, Majok is averaging 10.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
Finding Lineup Consistency
• After using six different starting lineup combinations over the first 10 games, Ball State has found some consistency over the past nine.
• The Cardinals have started three freshmen -- guards Zavier Turner and Mark Alstork and forward Franko House -- along with two seniors -- forward Chris Bond and center Majok Majok -- in each of the past nine games.
• Bond has started all 19 games this season, while Turner and Majok have each made 18 starts.
Turner's Fast Start
• Freshman point guard Zavier Turner is leading the Cardinals with averages of 12.1 points and 3.4 assists per game.
• He has reached double figures a team-high 12 times this season, including a career-best 24-point output Jan. 18 against Miami.
• Turner became the first Cardinal with at least 17 points and at least four assists in the first three games of a season since Larry Bullington in 1973-74 and just the second to accomplish the feat since Ball State began tracking assists in 1973.
• He became the first Ball State freshman with at least 17 points in the first three games of a season since Jim Fields in 1975-76 and just the second since freshmen became eligible for varsity competition in 1972.
Turner from Beyond the Arc
• Zavier Turner ranks second in the MAC in 3-point percentage (.426) and second in the league in 3-pointers per game (2.1).
• Turner has hit at least three 3-pointers in eight of the Cardinals' 19 games, including a career-high four against Marquette and Miami.
More Turner Rankings
• Zavier Turner also ranks in the top 20 in the MAC in minutes per game (32.4, 6th), assists per game (3.4, 7th) and points per game (12.1, 17th).
• He leads MAC freshmen in each of those categories (including the ones in the previous note).
Alstork's Big Night at Kent State
• Jan. 11 at Kent State, Mark Alstork became the first player since 2008 to lead Ball State in points, rebounds and assists in a game. Alstork finished with career highs of 15 points and 10 rebounds and matched his career best with five assists.
• The last Ball State player to accomplish the feat was Peyton Stovall on Jan. 16, 2008 against Western Michigan. Stovall led the team with 18 points and tied for team-high honors with seven boards and one assist.
Youth and Experience
• Ball State's lineup this season is heavy on both experience and youth.
• There are only two scholarship players on the Cardinals' roster outside the freshman and senior classes, so those two classes account for the majority of the minutes on the floor.
• Ball State's freshmen have stepped in to make an immediate impact, accounting for more than 40 percent of the team's minutes and scoring.
Persistent Crowder Gets His Chance
• Ball State walk-on senior guard Kindon Crowder has seen action in eight of the past 12 games. He played a season-high 14 minutes off the bench Feb. 18 versus Miami.
• Crowder is a former team manager for the Cardinals who first earned a roster spot as a practice player a year ago.
• He played high school basketball his freshman year at St. Francis de Sales in Chicago but did not play his final three seasons at Munster High School in Indiana.
Cardinals Add Mid-Year Transfer Jeremiah Davis
• Ball State has added Cincinnati transfer and former Muncie Central High School standout Jeremiah Davis to its roster.
• He will practice with the Cardinals during the spring semester, though he will not be immediately eligible able to play in games because of NCAA transfer rules.
• His family lost its Muncie home to a fire in November, and he sought to transfer after completing the fall semester at Cincinnati.
• Davis averaged nearly eight minutes per game as a freshman in 2011-12 for a Cincinnati team that reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. He was limited to four games last season because of a wrist injury for which Cincinnati has requested a medical hardship.
• Davis helped Muncie Central to conference and sectional championships in 2009-10. He then moved on to Huntington (W. Va.) Prep for one season before heading to Cincinnati.
Berry from Downtown
• Jesse Berry matched his career-high with six 3-pointers Dec. 30 at James Madison.
• Berry has moved into third place on Ball State's all-time 3-pointers list with 194 for his career. He ranks second in school history with 575 3-point attempts.
• Former Ball State teammate Jauwan Scaife set the school record for 3-pointers last year, finishing his career with 203 treys. Patrick Jackson (1998-2002) is second with 202.
Berry Reaches 1,000
• Jesse Berry surpassed 1,000 points for his career Nov. 30 at Cleveland State.
• He now owns 1,113 career points, the most of any current Ball State player.
• Berry is the 27th member of Ball State's 1,000-point club. Former teammate Jauwan Scaife, now a graduate student manager, became the 26th member last season.

Falling for the Flip Side
For some jewelers, what you don't see takes center stage
TO THE CASUAL OBSERVER, jewelry is all about catching the eye—how a stone captures the light, or the way a certain shade of gold complements the skin. But for some jewelers, the undersides and interiors of their pieces—places that are usually only noticed by the wearer—merit as much attention as the exteriors.
Munnu Kasliwal, the designer of Gem Palace in Jaipur, India, who died in August, was famous for his jewelry's hidden finishes—particularly the elaborate filigree and enamel on the backs of his necklaces.
"My father was a funny man," said Siddharth Kasliwal, the late designer's son and the ninth generation to take the reins of the family business. "One lady asked, 'Why should I pay for the reverse when nobody sees it?' He said, 'Why do you buy expensive lingerie when nobody sees that?'" Mr. Kasliwal laughed about his father's irreverent sales pitch, but explained that such intricate finishing is a tradition the family firm is carrying on.
This school of thought crosses cultures. A number of jewelry brands including New York-based labels Taffin, Wilfredo Rosado and Maiyet, and London-based Solange Azagury-Partridge, pursue covert luxury.
"There are little secrets that are yours to keep," said Taffin designer James de Givenchy, who approaches each piece he makes as a complete objet d'art. For Taffin, that might mean a sunken pool of pavé diamonds on a ring's interior, or a ring lined with contrasting colors of gold and engraved with a personalized message. He recently started using ceramic in vibrant shades, as in the cobalt-colored interior of a platinum band with pavé diamonds.
Kristy Caylor, co-founder of fashion label Maiyet, which makes two-faced fine jewelry, said the practice of hidden embellishment dovetails with the brand's ethos of old-school craftsmanship, sourced around the globe. "We try to find craftsmen that have a heritage technique," she said. One pair of dangling Deco-style Maiyet earrings is covered on the back in tiny diamonds—a gesture that echoes the luxurious handwoven linings of the label's clothes. Maiyet produces its fine jewelry in Jaipur, merging its modern designs with Indian tradition.
"It's a holistic approach to jewelry as a work of art," explained Dr. Amin Jaffer, international director of Asian Art at Christie's and author of "Made for Maharajas," a book on the objects commissioned by Indian princes during the British Raj.
Mr. Kasliwal, the Jaipur-based jeweler, intends to continue making the secretly exquisite works his father favored. He recently created an intricate cuff—with elephants wearing emerald blankets circling the outside and dancing ruby-eyed diamond deer within. The base was silver rather than gold, in an effort to offset the expense of the extra artistry—a cost he wouldn't imagine trying to curb. "Never sacrifice the detail inside," he said.

Dear Editor:
On Feb. 18, Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital representatives spoke to Del Webb's 55+ community about their plans for a hospital in Berkeley County Carnes Crossroad's area near the Route 17 - 176 intersections.
The controversy is ongoing as Trident Hospital alleges that two hospitals in the area, theirs in Moncks Corner, and Roper St. Francis' in Summerville would not reap sufficient patients to be profitable. Therefore, they contend one hospital is doomed to fail.
Roper St. Francis however, provided numerous supporting statistics and insights, which reflect serious research and consideration supporting a successful two-hospital business model. When Trident presented to Del Webb a few months ago, their arguments were conflicting and nonsensical.
Judge John D. McLeod ruled that he found "overwhelming evidence admitted at trial that both hospitals are needed and both hospitals in Berkeley County will be financially successful." He also ruled, "Trident's position that both hospitals will financially fail if both are approved is inconsistent with Trident's financials and its application."
The Del Webb 55+ community is supportive of Roper St. Francis building a hospital at Carnes Crossroads. It is important to note that within Cane Bay Plantation resides Cane Bay High, Middle and Elementary schools, ball fields, Park, swimming pools, the Publix mall, and one day an estimated capacity of 20,000 residents, as well as untold businesses.
There is also ample space to construct a Roper St. Francis Helipad within the Cane Bay Plantation.
Schools and residential development sports programs support a high expectation of injury, in addition to elderly resident's typical physical impacts. It is absurd that Berkeley County's growth projections, which support two hospitals, are not sufficiently clear to Trident regarding the necessity of a Carnes Crossroads area hospital. The judicial system twice approved both hospitals; however, Trident is again attempting to stop Roper St. Francis from building by taking this issue to the South Carolina Court of Appeals.
South Carolina Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell is tasked with overseeing the well-being of the elderly. We ask that the Lieutenant Governor support Cane Bay Plantation residents, including Del Webb's elderly 2,000 resident community, by removing this unreasonable lawsuit from the appellate court and transfer it to the South Carolina Supreme Court for approval of both hospitals in short order and eliminate this long-running debacle. It is estimated that this issue will be in court another 18 months to two years, with an additional two years prior to start of building.
We hope we are still here to see Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital come to fruition!

A spectacular hit-and-run crash early Saturday morning in front of the Delavan/Canisius College Metro Rail Station prompted authorities to close the station for safety and structural reasons, after one car catapulted onto the station.
The vehicle landing perpendicular to the sidewalk, with only one rear wheel on the ground, while the front half was hanging inside the rail station, according to the Transit Authority Police report.
A crane later was used to lift the disabled vehicle off the side wall of the glass dome, after the driver fell from the car's precarious perch and then fled on foot.
Transit police said that at about 3:30 a.m., a car driven by Roman A. Dunnigan, 33, of Amherst, struck an eastbound vehicle on West Delavan Avenue that had stopped at a red light and was attempting to turn left onto northbound Main Street.
Dunnigan's car then crashed into the concrete curbing, went airborne and landed upright along the station's shattered glass wall.
A witness saw a man fall out of that vehicle and run out of the station, police stated. Video footage from the Delavan Station showed the driver running up the escalator and fleeing.
Transit police officers went to Erie County Medical Center and found Dunnigan, who admitted that he was driving the vehicle that landed on the station, authorities said.
Dunnigan was charged with leaving the scene of a personal-injury accident, reckless driving, speeding, failure to keep right and unsafe passing, according to police reports.
Both he and the other driver, Ashley S. McNeal, 22, of Humboldt Parkway, were treated and released from ECMC.
C. Douglas Hartmayer, NFTA public affairs director, said the station, which suffered extensive structural damage, would reopen first thing Sunday morning.
"It will be closed until we can assess the damage and secure the building so it is a safe facility for our customers to use," Hartmayer said earlier Saturday.
The NFTA is providing bus-shuttle service to and from that station, from both the Humboldt-Hospital and Utica stations, until it reopens, he added.

Black, Hispanic entrepreneurs discriminated against when seeking small business loans
Editor's note: Press releases about research conducted by Sterling Bone, assistant professor of the Huntsman School of Business have been picked up online by publications around the world, including Yahoo Finance, Market Watch, the Boston Globe, Business News Daily, CNBC.com, Business Week and The Ogden Standard-Examiner. He collaborated on the paper with Glenn L. Christensen, Garrett Research Fellow, and associate professor of marketing at the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University, and Jerome D. Williams, the Prudential Chair in Business and research director of the Center of Urban Entrepreneurship & Economic Development at Rutgers University. The professors were guests on Access Utah. You can hear that broadcast here. The following is a story that ran in The Washington Post:
Black, Hispanic entrepreneurs discriminated against when seeking small business loans
By J.D. Harrison,
It's not easy these days to get a small-business loan.
It's even harder if your skin isn't white.
New academic research reveals that minority entrepreneurs are treated significantly differently (see: worse) than their white counterparts when seeking financing for a small business, even when all other variables — their credentials, their companies, even their clothes — are identical.
Conducted by business school professors at Utah State University, Brigham Young University and Rutgers University, the study featured nine businessmen—three white, three black, and three Hispanic. Similar in size and stature, donning the same outfits, and armed with similar education levels and financial profiles, they visited numerous banks seeking a roughly $60,000 loan to expand the very same business.
Once inside the bank, their experiences were not so similar.

Bring your expressive potential to life with amazing acrylic art. Experiment with a variety of acrylic mediums and pigments as you work from a different motif in each lesson. Learn essential glazing, drybrush and impasto techniques for paintings that convey depth and possess roundness of color. Achieve rich textures with mediums and grounds, including nepheline gel and iridescent copper for shimmering light effects. Use mixed-media techniques that are ideal for building vibrant surfaces and rendering floral techniques, including stenciling, scumbling and color washing.You'll even explore layering techniques using medium, to achieve translucent paint layers that recall classical oil paintings! After this class, you'll have the skills you need to confidently create inspiring acrylic art that is cutting edge and utterly beautiful.
Learn about the various projects and techniques you'll cover in class as you meet your instructor, Canadian artist and acrylic consultant Rh�ni Tauchid.
Dive into an introduction of direct painting techniques as Tauchid walks you through the steps to create a beautiful still life. Overcome any hesitation about familiarizing (or re-familiarizing) yourself with acrylics as you loosely lay in your objects and background, adding mass, roundness, highlights and depth as you go.
Discover the joys of indirect painting techniques with Tauchid's expert tips along the way. Work with washes to build up layers of gorgeous color in your underpainting, revealing lush undertones and complex color relationships as you go.
Taking the flower underpainting you created in Lesson 3, you'll move on to adding glaze layers with the use of new mediums. You'll learn how to choose between opaque, transparent and semi-opaque glazes to obtain the hues and effects that you desire. Tauchid also illustrates ways to determine how your mediums will change when they're dry, as well as how to add a new drybrush layer on top of your glazes.
Create dramatic, varied textures as you indulge your creative side with the impasto technique. Using high-viscosity paints and liquid mediums, you'll lay in the sky and ground of an alluring abstract landscape. Tauchid shows you how to work with unusual surfaces, create a wide variety of hues and bring your art up off the page (or board) with chunky textures.
Picking up where you left off in Lesson 5, you'll continue your impasto techniques with a variety of gel mediums. Tauchid demonstrates ways to paint ethereal and wispy clouds, utilize drybrush techniques to make the foreground pop, create delicate lines using ordinary household items and apply your final glazes.
Bring multiple textures and aesthetics together as you use stencils, paint, charcoal, polymer medium and more. You'll love working with dimension and texture in new ways as you celebrate the endless creative possibilities of this unique, eye-popping style.
"Whether you are new to acrylics or something of an old hand, these lessons will definitely provide several 'a-ha' moments. The explanations of the different mediums is especially helpful as the plethora of them available can be daunting. Perhaps the best take-away lesson from the entire course is to have fun experimenting, let go of the idea of having to create a 'perfect' picture and just play! Very well paced and easy to follow, I am sure I will refer back to this course repeatedly."

|Biological Imaging by Soft X-Ray Diffraction Microscopy
|Wednesday, 30 November 2005 00:00
Electron and x-ray microscopes are a valuable tool for both the life and materials sciences, but they are limited in their ability to image with nanometer-scale resolution in three dimensions nonperiodic objects that are several microns in size. To fill this gap, the technique of coherent x-ray diffraction imaging now under development takes advantage of the penetrating power of x rays while simultaneously removing the limitations imposed by lens-based optical systems. Researchers from Stony Brook University, in collaboration with scientists at the ALS and Cornell University, have taken a large step in this direction by using a lensless x-ray diffraction microscope to image a freeze-dried yeast cell to better than 30-nm resolution. Images were made at several angular orientations of the cell.
Electron microscopes are limited to biological specimens no thicker than a bacterium, and the technological challenges involved with making high-efficiency diffractive x-ray optics limits the capabilities of current lens-based x-ray microscopes. Coherent x-ray diffraction imaging, also known as x-ray diffraction microscopy (XDM), uses only the scattered intensities in the far field to recover the structure of the scattering object. If the object is nonperiodic, then the far-field intensity pattern is continuous and can be sampled finely enough that the phase, which is lost when intensity measurements are made, can be recovered by iterative computational methods (see previous highlight, "Demonstration of Coherent X-Ray Diffraction Imaging").
In XDM, the action of a lens is replaced by a computational process that recovers the far-field phase information through the iterative application of constraints in both image and diffraction space. These constraints describe a priori knowledge that we have about the object and typically take the form of a support constraint (e.g., a requirement that the sample be finite and isolated) and a Fourier modulus constraint (a requirement that the calculated diffraction intensities match the measurements). This method of imaging a non-periodic object by phasing its continuous diffraction pattern was first suggested by David Sayre (then at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center) and first demonstrated with x rays by John Miao (then at Stony Brook University) and others in experiments at the National Synchrotron Light Source.
The current work represents the first application of XDM to image an object as complex as a eukaryotic cell. The diffraction microscope, developed by researchers at Stony Brook and now stationed at ALS Beamline 9.0.1, is capable of collecting three-dimensional diffraction data sets from dry or frozen hydrated specimens to a scattering angle that corresponds to a reconstructed half-period pixel size of 6 nm for 750-eV x rays. The diffraction pattern that the researchers used for their image reconstruction is a subset (1200 x 1200 pixels) of the full CCD recording and extends to 10-nm resolution. Approximately 400 intensities at low spatial frequencies are missing because of the need to block the brightest part of the pattern to prevent damaging the detector.
The phasing algorithm, developed at Cornell and known as the difference map, controls these intensities and calculates the missing phases. The reconstructed image contains both magnitude and phase information (not the same as the diffraction phases calculated by the algorithm) about the scattered wavefield. An averaging technique was developed to minimize the effects of noise on the reconstruction. Similar reconstructions were obtained from eight angular orientations of the cell at 1° rotation intervals. The good agreement between the independently recovered structures provides confidence in the fidelity of the reconstructed images, and a comparison of adjacent reconstructions indicates a spatial resolution of better than 30 nm. This estimate is supported by an analysis of an effective modulation transfer function for the microscope.
Experiments aimed at imaging a frozen hydrated cell in three dimensions are ongoing and will allow us to test our calculations that show the radiation-damage-limited resolution of XDM to be 10 nm for biological specimens.

The 6 Steps of Rocking Out (When You're Over 30)
The Beatles made me love songwriting and production, David Bowie trained me in theatrics, and Pink Floyd moved me with grandeur. But at 18 everything changed: Soundgarden taught me how to rock.
The Before Soundgarden and After Soundgarden pictures are quite telling:
I can't stress just how important Soundgarden in general, and Chris Cornell specifically, were to my development as a musician and music fan. They changed the way I thought about music, the way I wrote music, and the way I sang -- taking me from a high B at best to a high E when I learned to open my throat like Chris. I started writing and singing stuff like this. (It's a rushed, shitty eight-track cut mostly from a live recording. You kids today with your GarageBand/Pro Tools don't get it! Also, the video is deliberately awful, so shush. Also, it may suck, but it sucks in a far more awesome way than my high school stuff sucked.) And in 1993, I saw Soundgarden at a Philly show and got roughed up in the mosh pit and it was awesome.
But just two years from their high-water mark, they called it a day. Cornell would go on to release two very good solo albums, three very mediocre albums with Audioslave, and one godawful collaboration with Timbaland that we will not discuss. Ever. Under any circumstances.
Click all you want. This is not a video embed. It will never play. As it should be.
Then a few months ago, they released King Animal, which is so good, it instantly cured any and all of the band's former sins. Cornell's Timbaland transgressions forgiven. Matt Cameron slumming it on drums for Pearl Jam forgiven. Kim Thayil raping his neighbor's dog forgiven! Here's a taste with a video link that will play:
In this state of euphoria, I went to see Soundgarden at Terminal 5 in New York City a few weeks ago. Their new album left no doubt that they could still rock, but could I? After all, I was no longer a long-haired teen. True, the passing years had brought me a lifetime of accomplishments and hard-earned sexual competence, but could I rock? Here is my night. You tell me who the rock star is.
#6. Picking the Right Clothes for Rock
Unlike the sexy young man from '93, I have a job. A job that sometimes requires wearing a suit. There was no way I was going to a Soundgarden show in a suit, so I wisely packed a change of clothes. But what about shoes? Two pairs of shoes? No way. I'm a grunger, baby. I wore my Doc Martens with my suit. What about The Man? Yeah, well, The Man would just have to deal.
After a full day of work, I lost the suit and replaced it with jeans and a fashionably tight green sweater. Why not flannel, you ask? Because I wasn't going to a grunge cosplay party. I was just dressing like myself, which is what I did back in the day when it became inexplicably fashionable for a couple of years in the '90s. See, grunge was always about doing what came naturally -- whether that was wearing some beat-up jeans, drinking 400 cups of coffee, or blowing your head off with a shotgun while tainting Neil Young lyrics.
#5. Pregaming Before the Rock
As a youth, or possibly Robert Brockway, you might prepare for a concert by getting incredibly high. You might drink all the beers, because yeah beers rah! But I was a grown man with grown man responsibilities. I'd have a few beers at the show, sure, but sometimes really rocking out means getting home without being too banged up to go to work the next day. OK, it never means that, but sometimes you can't get too banged up because you have to go to work the next day. Therefore, I pregamed with breakfast food to absorb the few beers I'd be downing later.
Rock 'n' roll!
I also left a 20 percent tip, because ROCK!
#4. Waiting in Line for Rock
Part of going to any show is the pregame cruising for chicks: "Hey, girl. You like Superunknown? Cool. Let's bone." But while that may have worked in 1993, there are three reasons it wouldn't work today: 1) It never worked in '93; 2) I'm married now; and 3) Soundgarden fans sure have gotten old and ugly. Holy cow, it was depressing. It looked like all that teen angst turned into 30 pounds of gut and male pattern baldness. Strangers looking at the line outside Terminal 5 probably assumed they were selling massive reconstructive surgery inside.
Also, some putz behind me kept goading the scalper for how much he was charging given what he'd paid on StubHub. Who tries to shame a scalper? It's his job to charge too much. That's the point. So yeah, I was a huge rock star on line, but the bar was set incredibly low. I also saw someone who might have been described as a "grunge hooker."
"Black Hole Sun costs extra."

James Fisher/Warner Bros./Associated Press
LOS ANGELES � �The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey� continues to rule them all at the box office, staying on top for a third-straight week and capping a record-setting $10.8 billion year in moviegoing.
The Warner Bros. fantasy epic from director Peter Jackson, based on the beloved J.R.R. Tolkien novel, made nearly $33 million this weekend, according to Sunday studio estimates, despite serious competition from some much-anticipated newcomers. It�s now made a whopping $686.7 million worldwide and $222.7 million domestically alone.
Two big holiday movies � and potential Academy Awards contenders � also had strong openings. Quentin Tarantino�s spaghetti Western-blaxploitation mash-up �Django Unchained� came in second place for the weekend with $30.7 million. The Weinstein Co. revenge comedy, starring Jamie Foxx as a slave in the Civil War South and Christoph Waltz as the bounty hunter who frees him and then makes him his partner, has earned $64 million since its Christmas Day opening.
And in third place with $28 million was the sweeping, all-singing �Les Mis�rables,� based on the international musical sensation and the Victor Hugo novel of strife and uprising in 19th century France. The Universal Pictures film, with a cast of A-list actors singing live on camera led by Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe has made $67.5 million domestically and $116.2 worldwide since debuting on Christmas.
Additionally, the smash-hit James Bond adventure �Skyfall� has now made $1 billion internationally to become the most successful film yet in the 50-year franchise, Sony Pictures announced Sunday. The film stars Daniel Craig for the third time as the iconic British superspy.
�This is a great final weekend of the year,� said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. �How perfect to end this year on such a strong note with the top five films performing incredibly well.�
The week�s other new wide release, the Billy Crystal-Bette Midler comedy �Parental Guidance� from 20th Century Fox, made $14.8 million during the weekend for fourth place and $29.6 million total since opening on Christmas.
Dergarabedian described the holding power of �The Hobbit� in its third week as �just amazing.� Jackson shot the film, the first of three prequels to his massively successful �Lord of the Rings� series, in 48 frames per second � double the normal frame rate � for a crisper, more detailed image. It�s also available in the usual 24 frames per second and both 2-D and 3-D projections.
�I think people are catching up with the movie. Maybe they�re seeing it in multiple formats,� he said. �I think it�s just a big epic that feels like a great way to end the moviegoing year. There�s momentum there with this movie.�
�Django Unchained� is just as much of an epic in its own stylishly violent way that�s quintessentially Tarantino. Erik Lomis, The Weinstein Co.�s president of theatrical distribution, said the opening exceeded the studio�s expectations.
�We�re thrilled with it, clearly. We knew it was extremely competitive at Christmas, particularly when you look at the start �L�s Miz� got. We were sort of resigned to being behind them. The fact that we were able to overtake them over the weekend was just great,� Lomis said. �Taking nothing away from their number, it�s a tribute to the playability of �Django.��
�Les Mis�rables� went into its opening weekend with nearly $40 million in North American grosses, including $18.2 on Christmas Day. That�s the second-best opening ever on the holiday after �Sherlock Holmes,� which made $24.9 million on Christmas 2009.
Tom Hooper, in a follow-up to his Oscar-winner �The King�s Speech,� directs an enormous, ambitious take on the beloved musical which has earned a CinemaScore of �A� from audiences and �A-plus� from women. Nikki Rocco, Universal�s head of distribution, said the debut for �Les Mis�rables� also beat the studio�s expectations.
�That $18.2 million Christmas Day opening � people were shocked ... This is a musical.� she said. �Once people see it, they talk about how fabulous it is.�
It all adds up to a record-setting year at the movies, beating the previous annual record of $10.6 billion set in 2009. Dergarabedian pointed out that the hits came scattered throughout the year, not just during the summer blockbuster season or prestige-picture time at the end. �Contraband,� �Safe House� and �The Vow� all performed well early on, but then, when the big movies came, they were huge. �The Avengers� had the biggest opening ever with $207.4 million in May. The raunchy comedy �Ted� and comic-book behemoth �The Dark Knight Rises� both found enormous audiences. And Paul Thomas Anderson�s challenging drama �The Master� shattered records in September when it opened on five screens in New York and Los Angeles with $736,311, for a staggering per-screen average of $147,262.
�We were able to get this record without scratching and clawing to a record,� he said.

Cheektowaga police are looking for a woman who is suspected of stealing items from employee lockers at two stores in the Walden Galleria.
The suspect was described as a white female who is about 50 years old, about 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing more than 180 pounds. She has short black hair and limps, favoring her right leg.
Police said the thief first struck at about 2:25 p.m. on Dec. 24. She entered the employee locker room at BEBE and took a wallet from an unsecure locker.
Investigators believe she returned at about 1:10 p.m. on Dec. 29, this time going to the employee locker room at Pottery Barn. She took items from a worker's purse.
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call Cheektowaga Police detectives at 686-3969. Anonymous tips can be texted to the Cheektowaga police's confidential tip line at TIP411 (847411). Text the keyword CPDNY, then the text information.

Caliper Life Sciences recently hosted a meeting where scientists described use of the company's technologies to support high-quality drug candidate discovery and optimization. The application of Caliper's imaging technology, automation/liquid-handling robotics, and chip-based microfluidics technologies to meet and overcome technical challenges in both drug discovery and in developing in vitro and in vivo assays were among the topics discussed.
Michelle Palmer, Ph.D., director of discovery and preclinical research, chemical biology platform, Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, described the institute's approach to integrating novel technologies for identifying small molecules that drive translation research and therapeutics.
The chemical biology and novel therapeutics platforms were established at the Broad to discover small molecules that impact biology and medicine and to innovate the process through which probes and drugs are both discovered and developed.
The Broad enterprise, she explained, "is part of a large network, the MLSMR, funded by NIH. Through that network, we collaborate on 25 new projects a year. Projects start with assay development, then progress to hit selection, and prioritization. The hits are then put through a battery of secondary assays to determine which are the most promising for chemical optimization. We work in close collaboration with our chemistry team. We then provide the data and the chemical tool back to the research community through NIH's probe report."
Dr. Palmer said that the Broad applies standard HTS assays as well as novel technologies to prioritize hits coming out of screens and then to discover and understand the mechanism of action of a particular compound. "This knowledge informs the medicinal chemistry process and ability to detect, quantify, and understand the effects of the compound in various cell and animal models."
The Broad applies a variety of integrated technologies to achieve this level of detail. These include next-generation chemistry (diversity-oriented synthesis), small molecule microarrays (SMMs), microfluidic-based chromatin modifying enzyme assays, multiplexed gene-expression measurements, and SILAC proteomics for target ID.
Dr. Palmer believes that automation has had a big impact on the small molecule characterization process, because, "the more you can do to automate a process and improve data consistency, quality, and reproducibility, the easier it is to think about the data. The data-visualization tools that are evolving to allow us to look at large quantities and types of data permit a much more unbiased approach to identifying the mechanism."

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Eventually, the healthier team and the more talented team came through.
What: No. 9 Clemson (7-1, 5-1 ACC) at Virginia (2-6, 0-4)
When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Where: Scott Stadium, Charlottesville, Va.
It wasn't a thing of beauty, but No. 9-ranked Clemson's return to the win column was a sight for sore eyes regardless of how it cobbled together a 40-27 victory over Maryland on Saturday afternoon in front of a late-arriving crowd of 48,134 fans at Byrd Stadium.
Game Ball / Numbers
Position: Wide receiver
Class: Junior
Statistics: School-record 14 catches, good for 163 yards; his 12th career 100-yard game
10 – Sacks by defensive end Vic Beasley, who had his third strip-sack of the year
13 – Clemson's interception total this season; safeties Jayron Kearse and Robert Smith made first-half picks
35 – Consecutive starts for Tajh Boyd, who's 28-7 in three years
160 – First time in school history Clemson's had a 160-yard rusher and 160-yard receiver in the same game
The Tigers (7-1, 5-1 ACC) were fine in the middle of the field, racking up 98 plays and 551 yards on the night. But they had field-goal drives of 55, 63, 67 and 68 yards, consistently moving the football inside the red zone but settling for three points at a time from kicker Chandler Catanzaro.
"You take a drive the length of the field, get inside the 5-yard-line, and not get anything but a field goal off it three times, four times … however many times it was is too many," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said.
"Every drive ends with a kick, that's what we talk about. But we'd much rather it be an extra point and not a field goal. So, very disappointed with that. Just getting beat at the point of attack and having a couple of tackles for loss."
However, the Tigers did complete the first half with their usual two-minute attack, soaring 58 yards in seven plays over 104 seconds capped by tight end Jordan Leggett's 5-yard touchdown catch from Tajh Boyd to give Clemson a 16-7 lead after an unsettling first 30 minutes.
The Tigers finished 7-for-8 scoring when reaching the red zone, but only had three touchdowns.
"We probably could have put this game away a lot easier if we do a better job in the red-zone, goal-line package," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "We'll have to go back and see what our issues were there. That was the biggest disappointment."
Senior tailback Roderick McDowell and junior wide receiver Sammy Watkins each had memorable games on the stat sheet, but each veteran fumbled inside Clemson's 25-yard-line to give the Terrapins plenty of opportunity to seize the lead.
But plagued by inexperience across the lineup, the Terps (5-3, 1-3) settled for field goals themselves. Caleb Rowe, starting for the injured C.J. Brown, only completed two of his first 19 passing attempts of the second half.
"We tightened up on our coverage, got a little tighter up on them to take away the quick throws, make them hold the ball a little bit longer, and mixed in some good pressures at critical times that affected them," Swinney said.
McDowell carried 30 times for 161 yards — exceeding both his career highs, which were set in the Georgia opener.
The fifth-year senior scored his first touchdown of any kind since Oct. 6 of last year, breaking a 14-game streak without reaching the end zone. McDowell sealed the victory with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.
"It felt pretty good, but at the end of the day, it's all about having a team spirit," McDowell said. "As long as you're helping your team out, that's all that matters to me."
The Tigers rushed for 248 yards, the first time they went over the 200-yard mark this season, and did it against a Maryland defense averaging 123.7 yards on the ground entering Saturday.
Boyd had a quietly efficient effort, completing 28-of-41 passes for 304 yards and one touchdown with one interception. He tweaked his left knee on a first-quarter sack in the red zone, but didn't miss any snaps until backup Cole Stoudt relieved him in mop-up duty late in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't expect anything other than him to respond with a great game tonight," Swinney said. "He got a little banged up, but he played through it. Just another great game, responding from one of his few bad ones (against Florida State)."
Wide receiver Sammy Watkins set a school record with 14 receptions, topping DeAndre Hopkins by one grab. Watkins finished with 161 yards, lifted by a monstrous first half (10 catches, 127 yards.)
The Tigers' defense had two interceptions in the first half (safeties Jayron Kearse and Robert Smith) and caused two fumbles in the second half. Defensive end Vic Beasley recorded his third strip-sack of the season on what was also his national-leading tenth sack.
Clemson is still chasing Florida State in the ACC Atlantic Division, but the Seminoles must lose two of their final three league games to let Clemson have a peek at an ACC Championship game berth.
Clemson won its seventh straight game away from Death Valley, the program's longest such streak in 35 years. It will go for No. 8 next Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Virginia (2-6, 0-4.)

UPDATED: Apple rejects South Park app for iPhone over "offensive" content
February 19, 2009 - 12:15
Christian Zibreg
Chicago (IL) - Boing Boing reports that the developers behind a new South Park iPhone application submitted it for approval four months ago. And now the developers have received a note from Apple which confirms the application has been rejected, citing "potentially offensive" content. And the irony is, Apple's iTunes Store carries seasons 11 and 12 of the TV show South Park: Uncensored, though admittedly with a TV-MA warning. Apple's message is this: Watching potentially offensive content is okay. Playing with it in an application is not.

on January 4, 2013 - 12:29 AM
, updated January 4, 2013 at 7:12 AM
Michael's Town Shanty is a modest, homey place with a few surprises.
It's set up like so many Western New York taverns, most of which serve very good food. The front room contains a horseshoe-shaped bar with small tables for diners off to the side. The back room, with about a dozen tables, is one of those comfortable, unpretentious places full of the happy chatter of families, couples and small groups.
The Shanty offers a Polish buffet for just $8.99 from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, and that's what John, Dan, Ruth and I were interested in. We were greeted right away by a young woman server and an energetic man who guided us to a table and showed us the menu specials. He was the owner, Michael.
One of the laminated pages he handed us was a list of 17 burgers, most of which were pretty unusual, such as the picnic burger, which is topped with baked beans and cheese. Michael said that customers love the Shanty Mak, a homemade version of the Big Mac, with the restaurant's own special sauce. Most of the burgers were between $6 and $8.
Although it didn't apply, Michael also handed us an interesting list of $6.99 dinners served from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and also on Saturday. The entree choices included pork loin, chopped sirloin or chicken Cordon Bleu, and came with either soup or salad and a chocolate mousse.
Another special of the house is a $10.95 seafood buffet offered Wednesdays between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Fish also takes center stage on Friday, with a $9.99 fish fry, Cajun grouper ($8.99) and crab-stuffed fish ($10.50).
The guys ordered from the menu and Ruth and I chose the buffet. Our server said the buffet included chicken, cabbage, lazy pierogi, kielbasa and pork chops – remember that list and you will be able to laugh at me.
The two menu items were excellent. Dan's Reuben burger ($7.50) was a 6-ounce, hand-formed beef patty, nicely grilled and topped with the ingredients of a Reuben – sliced corned beef, sauerkraut and melted Swiss, with Thousand Island dressing on the side. It was an unusual idea, and a winning one.
John is picky about meatloaf, so I knew the bar was high when he ordered the meatloaf stack ($8.99). The dinner started with mashed potatoes, topped with a sizable chunk of meatloaf. A generous portion of corn was arranged around the central pile, the whole thing was doused with brown gravy and several crispy, lightly breaded onion rings were on top. Almost everything about it was good, especially the nicely spiced taste and consistency of the meat.
Ruth and I took samples from the long metal tray on the buffet, which were all kept very hot. The golumpki, or beef-and-rice-filled cabbage rolls covered with tomato sauce, were plump and tender. The zing of contrasting flavors made the sweet and sour cabbage, and although we found the chicken breast pieces a bit dry, we loved the peppered noodles. A bowl of lazy pierogi was creamy and satisfying, the potato cakes had a nice crunchy breading and the segments of kielbasa were very tasty. We wondered about the pork chops our server had mentioned, then went back for seconds, finishing off with a small peach cobbler.
We finished, paid, and walked to the door of the back room to peek into the bar. It was then that I spotted three more large metal trays about six feet away from the main part of the buffet. I asked our server what was in them. "You didn't get any pierogi?" she asked. The overlooked trays contained pork chops and two kinds of pierogi.
I blamed myself for the oversight and promised to return for what I am sure are stellar pierogi.

The density of any substance is defined as its mass per unit volume.
Here, m is the mass of the substance and V is the volume of the substance.
Assume that the standard of density in this problem is that of water. In such a situation, we have to be accurate with the values of the standard temperature, standard pressure, and quality of the water as density varies with temperature and pressure.
In addition, it is not possible to measure density as a single unit like length and mass, as it depends on the values of mass and volume. So, density is a derived quantity. So, the values of mass and volume of water must be accurate in order to consider the density of water as a standard unit.

John Travolta recently called his next movie, Gotti: Three Generations – in which he'll play Mob boss John Gotti Sr. – "the most interesting untold story in America."
But that doesn't mean the subject matter is sitting well with everybody.
Adding fuel to the fire was an April 12 New York press event to drum up publicity for the upcoming film. Besides Travolta, Lindsay Lohan, who's in the running to play Victoria Gotti in the picture, attended the gathering with the famous Mob daughter
As a silver spotlight is being placed on the family, both alleged victims and critics of the Gottis are expressing outrage over their glorification.
"It's like putting salt in an open wound," says Scott Favara, the son of John Favara, who accidentally killed the mobster's son, Frankie Gotti, in a 1980 car accident. (Favara was driving and didn't see the boy on his bike.) Favara soon disappeared and was last seen being shoved into a van. His body was never found, and varying accounts surfaced that mob associated murdered him and disposed of the body by putting it in a barrel of acid or entombing in concrete.
John Gotti Sr. "destroyed our family," says Scott Favara, now a policeman.
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, who has a long running feud with the Gotti family and was shot several times in 1992 by a man later identified as an associate of John Gotti Jr.'s, also slammed the movie hoopla. "What we saw was an orgy of romanticism of organized crime," he says. "This movie is being billed as a love story between father and son. The media is just rolling over for them."
Gotti Jr.: 'Draw Your Own Conclusions'John Gotti Jr., 47, who sold the rights to his life story to the film's producer, Marc Fiore, says people can draw their own conclusions after watching the film.
"My father was an icon," said Gotti Jr. at the April 12 press conference. "He was a man larger than life. He stood true to his beliefs. Anytime you hear people say that 'John Gotti was a killer. John Gotti was a gangster' – yeah, he was."
But Jr. quickly added, "He suffered – he suffered greatly. He paid for every sin he may or may not have committed."
Gotti Sr., known as "The Teflon Don" because it was so hard for the feds to get criminal charges against him to stick, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1998 and died in jail in 2002, age 61, while serving time for multiple counts of murder, racketeering, extortion and tax evasion.
Exploiting RightsWhile some may find it outrageous, it is not illegal for the Gottis to make money from their story, so long as the film only depicts crimes committed by their father. The Son of Sam law, which prohibits criminals from profiting from their crimes, does not apply to his children.
"The person who commits the crime is the target of the Son of Sam law," says Leon Friedman, professor of Constitutional law at Hofstra University. "If the father does something bad, the children are not responsible for it."
Adds FBI spokesman Jim Margolin: "It's fair to say there are FBI agents who don't feel he is an appropriate person to glorify. But we haven't seen the movie yet."
For Favara, it's very simple: "They made John Gotti sound like a hero, which he was not. They are glorifying gangsters and they should think twice."
