Happy New Year
January 2, 2012 - John Mehno
It's 2012.
I've resolved to take more naps in the new year, and I'm pleased to report that I'm doing well with that so far.
I've never been much of a New Year's person. I think I've explained it before, but it goes back to when I was a kid and Jan. 1 meant that school was starting again on Jan. 2. And I never had the Dec. 22 homework assignment completed, so that only added to the stress.
New Year's went irretrievably south for me when 1972 turned into 1973, and I woke to the news that Roberto Clemente had died in a plane crash. You don't forget something like that.
So here we with 12 fresh sheets of the calendar. The Steelers are in the playoffs, but I'm skeptical of their chances beyond this Sunday's game in Denver. The Penguins are Stanley Cup contenders, especially if Sidney Crosby can play again. As the snow flies outside the window, baseball seems like it's a long way off.
Here's wishing you all the best in the new year. Enjoy the occasional nap.

Wedding planning on a deadline for N.J. gay couples
TRENTON, N.J. -- Activists are still working to line up judges who could waive the three-day waiting period for same-sex couples who want to exchange vows first thing Monday, when gay marriage will become legal in New Jersey.
Garden State Equality executive director Troy Stevenson said the effort to get couples hitched without the waiting period was a "work in progress." Under state law, couples must normally wait 72 hours after applying for a marriage license before they can tie the knot.
Stevenson didn't have specific details on how many judges would be available to consider couples' waivers.
But he said many marriages will be held across the state as soon as possible once the new policy takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday.
The wedding frenzy started shortly after the New Jersey Supreme Court refused Friday to delay a lower-court order for the state to recognize same-sex marriages while the state appeals. The justices said they did not think the state's arguments were likely to prevail in the end and that delaying the lower court's order would hurt couples who would not be eligible for federal benefits until they can be married legally.

Product name : Octyldodecanol
Description :
A light oil (derived from coconut oil) which is used for its thickening and emollient properties.
Octyldodecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used in a wide variety of beauty products as an emollient and emulsifier, but also rarely as a solvent and fragrance ingredient as well. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is often seen as a thickener in moisturizers because of its lubricating and emollient properties.
Octyldodecanol helps to form emulsions and prevents formulas from separating into its oil and liquid components. It can also reduce the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken. Octyldodecanol acts as a lubricant on the skin, giving a soft, silky feel as an ingredient in lotion.
Uses :
Octyldodecanol is used in the following product types: lipstick; lip gloss; moisturizer; facial moisturizer/treatment; eye shadow; foundation; concealer; lip balm; anti-aging; sunscreen: makeup.

Did We Avoid Historical Failures of Antitrust Enforcement During the 2008-09 Financial Crisis?

Antitrust Law Journal , Forthcoming
U of Michigan Law & Econ, Empirical Legal Studies Center Paper No. 10-006

This introductory essay for a symposium on antitrust enforcement during economic crises provides a brief historical overview of the failures of antitrust enforcement during major economic crises and wars in the first half of the twentieth century. It then considers the reasons that historical narrative breaks off in the second half of the twentieth century and asks whether there is evidence of its revival during the recent economic crisis.

top 10 ways to bliss someone else's heartChristine Kang
It's springtime, and about to be Easter around these parts — the time of the year when we focus on rebirth and renewal. I always think of it as a time with so much potentiality in the air, you know? And it could be the pollen getting to me, but I really feel that with the warmer air, and the flowers beginning to bloom, it's almost like the weather is urging us to focus on the positive, and the bright side. To share the happy.
I know. I sound crazy, but stay with me.
I've mentioned before (ranted, actually), that I think that gratitude is important, even in a time when the world is in turmoil. At the time I wrote that, there was a lot of really ugly issues in the news, but I can't help but notice that regardless of what's making headlines, at some point in our culture, it became cool to complain. That somehow, we became convinced that sharing how miserable our lives are — with a wink and a wry smile, if we can manage it — makes us more attractive. That expressing our disgust and dismay at things, with complete hubris and without considering how that expression might affect our friends, family and loved ones, is somehow "brave" and "authentic." That public suffering and humiliation is entertainment.
But I've come to believe our general outlook behaves similarly to our bodies: our ability to look at the negative, if exercised like a muscle, gets stronger and more robust, to the point where all we can see is negative. (And I think this is true, even if we try to wrap up these expressions with a wink and wry smile, even if we think we're being funny or entertaining. Negativity is insidious this way.) And if all we see is negative, then happiness and joy necessarily make their departures.
The good news, I think, is that the same is true for our ability to look at the positive: if exercised, this capability gets strong and more robust, to the point where we are able to find hope and gratitude even in the toughest situations. To be clear: I am not saying that we shouldn't express frustration or anger or annoyance — I'm simply saying that perhaps it makes sense to be circumspect when we do. Relying on trusted friends for help is never a bad thing. Asking for assistance — even on the internet! — is often a good thing. But I think there's a stark difference between seeking comfort and assistance to get through tough times, and bitching on the internet for the sake of bitching. And I think the latter, while possibly giving us a shot of immediate solace, is far more damaging to our psyches in the long run than we can even begin to understand.
And so, in the spirit of newness and springtime, I thought I'd share my top 10 ways to share the happy, and put more good out into the world. These are really easy to do, too — so even if you're feeling a bit curmudgeonly, you won't feel too put out doing some of them — and who knows, maybe it'll cheer you up as well.
1. Wish people a good day, or a happy moment on Facebook or on Twitter. Just because.
2. Write a post or a Facebook update about a moment in your day that you were grateful for.
3. Share a video that has an awesome message or a positive story.
4. When you're out in public, sneakily (yet respecfully) take a photograph of someone who you think looks amazing — great style, say, or simply glows. Share it on Twitter. In other words, gossip the good stuff.
5. Share the blog posts or Facebook updates written by someone who has taken the time to share positive content.
6. Find positive news stories in the mainstream media (CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, New York Times, etc.), and be sure to share them and link to them.
7. Join Spotify or Blip.fm or 8tracks.com and start sharing music you love. Music is so often the Great Happy-Maker.
8. When a celebrity does something you think is noteworthy or amazing or selfless, compliment them publicly online (so many of them have Twitter accounts). So many celebrities either get rabid fanmail or criticism: sending them a public note of encouragement for inspiring behaviour will definitely be noticed and appreciated.
9. If you do write something online because you are bothered by an issue or are otherwise experiencing something difficult, be circumspect: for example, posit a solution, or invite sincere assistance. Be wary of inadvertently encouraging the gathering of torches and pitchforks, unless you are honestly trying to galvanize those who read your post for the specific purpose of creating positive change.
10. Take a photograph of something beautiful. Share it online.
And finally, Shawn Achor makes my point about why focusing on the positive is good for us better than I do, I think. Enjoy is very funny, insightful TED talk, below.

A former North Brunswick High School history teacher was sentenced to three years in prison today for engaging in sexual activity with a 17-year-old female student, authorities said.
Matthew Engelson, 32, of Cherry Hill, who also coached the girls' soccer team, appeared before Superior Court Judge Dennis Nieves in New Brunswick for sentencing. In September 2008, Engelson pleaded guilty to one count of child endangerment. As part of a plea deal with the state, charges of sexual assault and official misconduct were dropped.
Engelson admitted he fondled the student when they met at a location in South Brunswick in 2007 after exchanging sexually explicit text messages for months, police said.
As part of the plea agreement, Engelson surrendered his teaching certificate and cannot have contact with the victim or her family, authorities said. He will be registered as a sex offender under Megan's Law.


text: Jack Osbourne diagnosed with a devastating condition Jack Osbourne Mon-18-Jun-12 17:52 Share this Tell Us What You Think WTF 0 LOL 0 FAIL 0 OMG 0 HOT 0 CUTE 0 ] OZZY OSBOURNE's TV star son Jack has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The new dad has opened up about the autoimmune disease nearly two months after welcoming his first child with fiancee Lisa Stelly, revealing he found out he was suffering from the condition last month (May12) after he lost 60 per cent vision in his right eye. He was treated in the same hospital that daughter Pearl Clementine was born in April (12). In an emotional interview with Britain's Hello magazine, he says, "The timing was so bad. I'd just had a baby, work was going great - I kept thinking, 'Why now?' ...While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realised being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point - if anything it's only going to make it worse. Adapt and overcome is my new motto. Jack's diagnosis has left his famous family stunned; rocker father Ozzy adds, "If it was me, you'd think: 'Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him', but Jack is such a good guy." And sister Kelly took to Twitter.com on Sunday (17Jun12) to offer her thoughts, and asked fans to "support my brother in not only his bravery but honesty!" She added: "I love you so much jack & I'm so proud of you!" Jack's fiancee is determined he will pull through, revealing to Hello, "Jack will have to change his life for the better - get healthier, not get stressed."

Hendricks steamed through Sophia Fox 6-3, 6-0. But it wasn't that easy for DeBenedetto. It took DeBenedetto three sets to upend Jenny Sayre, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
The doubles team of Olivia Runk and Kate Hugendubler won a first set tie break and went on to finish off the opposition to secure the Mifflin County win.

Field Hockey
Cumberland Valley 4,
Mifflin County 0
MECHANICSBURG - Teamwork and good communication are essential to any sports team, and those are the two things the Mifflin County field hockey team lacked when the Huskies took a 4-0 loss to Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division opponent Cumberland Valley on Monday.
"We got completely outplayed by Cumberland Valley," Mifflin County coach Tish Maclay said.
Maclay was disappointed with the lack of teamwork she saw from her girls.
"We had very little communication, tried to play through their sticks too much, and had very little passing."
Mifflin County (1-2, 2-3) hosts Commonwealth Division opponent, Carlisle, on Wednesday.
Greenwood 2, Selinsgrove 0
MILLERSTOWN - It was a 60-minute defensive battle as the Greenwood field hockey team hosted Selinsgrove on Monday night, but in the end Greenwood came out on top with a 2-0 shutout.
"It really was a pretty wide open game, and I thought both teams did a good job of keeping the others from getting many decent shots," Greenwood coach Kent Houser said.
However, even though both teams made it difficult to score, Greenwood's Mackenzie Wirth and Hattie Kuhns were each able to sneak a shot past Selinsgrove's keeper in the first and second halves respectively.
Houser was pleased with his team's performance, and highlighted the girls' defensive performance.
"I thought we did a really nice job of keeping them away from our circle in the second half," Houser said.
Greenwood (3-0-1) hosts East Juniata tonight.
Boys soccer
Altoona 5, Mifflin County 1
ALTOONA - The Mifflin County boys soccer team made the long trip out to District 6 foe Altoona on Monday night, and came home with a 5-1 loss for the trouble.
Altoona's Mike Beckle was a thorn in the Huskies' side all night long. Finishing the game with a hat trick, Beckle was an offensive threat the Mifflin County defense couldn't quite handle.
"Beckle was a threat in the air all night long. He was very good at winning 50/50 balls all night long," Mifflin County coach Jared Byler said
Although Mifflin County took a tough loss, Byler wanted to highlight Weston Shugarts' performance from right wing.
"Weston Shugarts was doing a great job out on the right wing for us," Byler said. "He was running the defenders ragged, and just unfortunately we weren't creating anything off of those opportunities."
Mifflin County (0-4) continues to look for a win as the team travels to Cedar Cliff today.
Belleville Mennonite 4, Ligonier Valley 0
BELLEVILLE - The Belleville Mennonite boys made a promise to themselves at the beginning of this season - they wouldn't lose two games in a row. And Monday, after coming off a loss to Forbes Road last week, Belleville Mennonite stuck to its promise and defeated Ligonier Valley 4-0 at home.
"One of our goals for this season is not to lose two in a row," Belleville Mennonite coach Brian Renno said. "And after we lost last Thursday to Forbes Road, we needed to win today to accomplish our goal."
But Belleville Mennonite didn't just accomplish a goal with the win - Andrew Miller, the team's top scorer, also notched his first goal of the season.
"He hadn't scored yet," Renno said of Miller, explaining that Miller had been suffering from a mental block. However, after Miller scored against Ligonier Valley, Renno hopes to see him get back on track.
Miller's hat trick and Austin Byler's goal off a direct free kick constituted all of Belleville Mennonite's goals for the outing.
"Hopefully we can keep things moving," said Renno, who thinks his team has some good momentum right now.
Belleville Mennonite (2-2) travels to Columbia County Christian on Thursday.
Midd-West 8, Shikellamy 0
SUNBURY - Offense was the word of the game as the Midd-West boys soccer team traveled to Shikellamy for a big 8-0 Heartland Conference win.
Within the first five minutes of the game, Midd-West's Jake Keister notched a goal to break open the offense, and from that point on the Mustangs didn't stop scoring until the end of the game.
Midd-West coach Chris Sauer thought his team's offense was a little bit slow at first, but definitely gained momentum as the game progressed.
"We struggled at times because they played flat in the back trying to draw us off sides," Sauer said.
"But once we settled down and made better choices our offense started working."
And Sauer was right - the offense really was working. Midd-West outshot Shikellamy 23-6, and the Mustang's eight goals were spread out among six different players.
Midd-West (2-0, 3-1) hosts Danville on Wednesday for further Heartland Conference action.
Juniata Mennonite 1, Bloomsburg Christian 0
BLOOMSBURG - Tony Gehman's unassisted goal with 23:14 left in the game propelled Juniata Mennonite to a 1-0 win over Bloomsburg Christian Monday in boys soccer action.
Gehman had an open shot from the outside and converted for the game winner. Juniata Mennonite led in shots 21-6 and had opportunities to break the game open.
"We had quite a few opportunities before the goal," Juniata Mennonite coach Kurt Wagner said. "We were finally able to get one."
Wagner said his team's strong passing was the key in the win. During the season, the Lions have struggled to get to the fourth pass. But against Bloomsburg Christian, Juniata Mennonite did just that.
Juniata Mennonite hosts Sunbury Christian today.
Girls soccer
Juniata Mennonite 6, Bloomsburg Christian 1
BLOOMSBURG - It was a successful day for the Juniata Mennonite girls soccer team, as the girls traveled to take a 6-1 win over Bloomsburg Christian on Monday.
Juniata Mennonite's Lauren Breon had a hat trick, scoring goals in the first, second and third quarters. Alexis Hahn-Kline added two goals to the team's effort. Tianna Bells, and Valarie Meiser also scored for the Lions.
Juniata Mennonite coach Trisha Hoffman was very pleased with her team's performance.
"It was a very good game," Hoffman said. "Our defense hadn't been working too well together. It was a good game to work on that."
Juniata Mennonite (3-2) hosts Sunbury Christian today.
Mifflin County 3, Penns Valley 2
SPRING MILLS - Mount Union started slow. But then Tessa McCormick and the Trojans got things going.
After losing the first two sets, Mount Union rattled off the next three to claim a 3-2 non-league win over Penns Valley.
"We came out flat and were just going through the motions," Mount Union coach Tessa McCormick said. "We weren't using our offense."
In the final three sets Mount Union was using its offense. Ashlyn Drake finished the game with 31 service points.
"We talked more about pushing the passes up closer and the last three games we really started hitting the way we are capable of."
Mount Union (2-1, 0-1) travels to Williamsburg Thursday.
Heartland Conference
Midd-West 333, Shikellamy 346, Williamsport 349, Selinsgrove 353, Loyalsock 353, Mifflinburg 387
WILLIAMSPORT - Midd-West's Adam Winey fired a 76 to lead Midd-West to a Heartland Conference golf win Monday at Williamsport Country Club.
Winey's 76 was followed by Blake Zechman's 78. The final two scorers for the Mustangs were Aidan Edmiston (89) and Shane Connahan (90).
Midd-West (17.5-2.5) travels to Mifflinburg Sept. 18.
Mid-Penn Conference
Cumberland Valley 369, Mechanicsburg 415, Carlisle 419, Mifflin County 425, Northern 428, Red Land 431, Cedar Cliff 463
CARLISLE - Mifflin County put five scorers in the 80s in its Mid-Penn Conference golf outing at the wide open Carlisle Barracks Monday.
Led by Marc Auker's 82, the Huskies came in fourth with a total score of 425. Cumberland Valley, who had four players in the 70s, took home the top spot by firing a 396. Mechanicsburg was second and Carlisle was third.
"I said to our guys that's the type of golf we're capable of playing," Mifflin County coach Kevin O'Donnell said. "We can play better than that though."
Jason Perry followed Auker with an 83. Evan Pupo's 85, Hunter Walker's 87 and Nate Koller's 88 rounded out the scoring for Mifflin County.
"Today we were just able to relax and play golf," O'Donnell said.
Mifflin County (9-21) travels to Range End, Northern's home course, today.

The E language never >guaranteed Alice that she was only giving Bob access to post-X Carol. "Why build a Doomsday Machine if you're not going to tell anybody about it?" -- Dr. Strangelove Actually, E has guaranteed this for a long time, I just never documented this fact, nor explained it clearly. Certainly we should still argue this through, but the page above isn't documenting a change to the language, it's belatedly documenting the semantics I've had in my head that I've been implementing all these years. You question gives me the opportunity to get more of it written down. Thanks! Above, you ask the correct hard question: how do NEAR references, which allow synchronous invocation, screw this up? It turns out, in only the way documented on that page: [after Alice eventually sends a message to Carol] >If Alice and Carol are in the same Vat and Alice has a NEAR reference to >Carol, Alice can still immediately call Carol, perhaps delivering a message >before messages which were eventually sent earlier. Although this is ugly, it doesn't violate the above guarantee. But what about the case you ask about? Let's say that Bob and Carol are in the same Vat, whether or not Alice is in this Vat as well. The guarantee implies the following semantics: If message Y is delivered to Bob before message X is delivered to Carol, then the the reference "to Carol" contained in msg Y must be an promise for Carol, and therefore an eventual reference, that only gets resolved after X is delivered to Carol. There are two ways to implement an if-then specification. One of them is to make sure the condition part never occurs. The E spec in my head doesn't say how this if-then should be satisfied. The current E implementation satisfies it by ensuring the condition never occurs: If Carol & Bob are in the same Vat, then no matter where Alice is, X will be delivered to Carol before Y is delivered to Bob. (Correct programs of course may only count on properties of the E spec, not the stronger properties provided by the E implementation.) Further spec implied by the guarantee: If a partition prevents X from being delivered to Carol, then if Y gets delivered anyway, the contained reference to Carol must be or become broken. No message sent on it (such as W) may ever be delivered. If Bob & Carol are in the same Vat, the current implementation again satisfies this spec the easy way. In order for a partition to prevent delivery of X, Alice must be in a different Vat. A partition which prevents delivery of X will also prevent delivery of Y, so we don't need to worry about breaking the reference. >The only way I can see to rescue this behaviour is to attach semantics >to the Vat. Do you agree that the above spec rescues the guarantee without attaching extra semantics to the Vat? >To date, you've been very careful to restrict semantics to >the reference graph, allowing the Vat boundaries to be ignored. I >think this approach might be more valuable than the behaviour that >could be rescued. Actually, there are *some* semantics related to the Vat, such as the possibility of NEAR references only with a Vat, and the possibility of partition only between Vats. But I'm glad you appreciate that I've kept it down to a dull roar. I agree that minimizing Vat semantics is the more important issue. Would you agree that the above cake is both had and eaten? >If this behaviour is not rescued, then it begs the question of whether >there should be any order guarantees at all on sends. Are we sure that >we need them? Does the chaining of the return value from one >invocation into a parameter to a later invocation provide us with >enough control over the order of execution? I think so. I'd be >interested to hear from MarcS. It's certainly worth re-examining, but first a bit of history. Actors, Kernel Joule, and the early versions of Original-E both do as you suggest. AFAIK, EC Habitats, the decentralized graphically based, secure social virtual reality system remains the single biggest system ever built in the Actors / Concurrent Logic / Joule concurrency paradigm, and therefore its most extensive test. When we tried to build it without these ordering guarantees, we had a hell of a time. The ordering guarantees originated in syntactic sugar used in the Joule user language (though I don't think they are in the on-line manual). When we added these guarantees to Original-E and used them, suddenly a whole mess of n-party (for n >= 3) concurrency problems went away. Unlike Joule, Original-E and E provide the ordering guarantees primitively, rather than by sugar, and this choice would also be worth arguing about. In any case, I'm personally very happy with how the semantics here have turned out. >Dropping order guarantees on sends >creates a lot of implementation flexibility. It also blurs the line >between what a sturdy ref is and what a "live" reference is.

I think I now understand what you've been trying to explain to me about Droplets. Does the following E implement the semantics of a Droplets message send?

No fail-stop implied. UDP-like, rather than TCP-like. Cheers, --MarkM

I was very wary of paying money to an unknown company on the internet to have my phone unlocked, so spent ages trying to tell the good from the bad (phone numbers and contact emails etc.)
Of those I believed to be reputable, fonezone were the cheapest for my phone and came back to me within a couple of hours with the code I needed.
I was kept informed in the meantime of progress by email, so would very much recommend them for this service.

Comments Thread For: ShoStats: Danny Garcia Powers Past Erik Morales
Hard to watch future Hall of Famer Erik Morales go out this way. WBA/WBA junior welterweight champion Garcia landed the harder punches all fight and closed the show by landing nine of 13 power shots in round four- the last a left hook that cork-screwed Morales into the canvas.

After four years with the Jaguars, it appears that WR Mike Sims-Walker's time is done. Despite all the tools necessary to be a star in the league, Sims-Walker never put up the stats he was capable of and will now test free agency, whenever that is.
I'm a strong believer that MSW's lack of production in Jacksonville was due to a quarterback that did not fit well with his skill set. As such, I believe that Sims-Walker will have a productive season in 2011 if he is ability to stay healthy. In his four years with the Jaguars, he missed significant time in his first two and was hampered by an injured ankle in 2010.
If MSW is able to put together a productive season in 2011, it could be worth as much as a 3rd round compensatory draft pick in 2012 for the Jaguars. If for no other reason, Jaguars fans should be rooting for him for that reason. Besides that fact, Sims-Walker was a great member of the Jacksonville community and a personable player for fans. He will be missed… by me at least.

U.S. Army and Marine Corps units have been engaged in battles with the Taliban and Haqqani insurgency groups across the country. In July of this year, 46 American and coalition troops were killed, the highest number dating back to September 2011.

Casio releases tiny 12-megapixel compact
September 4, 2007 In years gone by, we wondered what we were going to do with the huge amounts of data from our decadent five and seven-megapixel digital compact cameras. At such a minute level of detail, surely the megapixel war was over in the compact digital market. Nobody told Casio though, with their latest Exilim release packing a colossal 12-megapixel image sensor. Each shot at the EX-Z1200's highest setting now takes up nearly 8mb of card storage, and you'll now need a 4000x3000 pixel monitor if you want to display your holiday snaps at full resolution.
The newest model in the Casio EXILIM series, the flagship EX-Z1200, offers 12.1 megapixel resolution providing an exceptional level of detail that allows crystal-clear printing, even in large sizes or when trimmed to show just one part of the image.
The camera incorporates CCD-shift image stabilization, a 3x optical zoom and the latest EXILIM Engine 2.0 image processing module with motion analysis technology. These innovative features work together to help prevent blurry shots due to shaky hands, subject movement or poor focus when photographing moving subjects.
In addition, the auto-tracking AF system now combines both face detection and motion analysis technologies. With this revolutionary new system, once the focus is locked in, it follows a moving subject's face, maintaining both sharp focus and correct exposure.
Pricing details have not yet been released.
Main features:
- 12.1 million effective pixels; 3X optical zoom
- CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism
- Incorporates the latest EXILIM Engine 2.0 image processing module featuring motion analysis technology
- Tonal range control reduces loss of detail in bright and dark areas, and helps to achieve smoother expression of skin tones and clear blue skies.
- Auto-tracking AF system maintains both sharp focus and correct exposure for a human face using both face detection and motion analysis technologies
- Maximum 3 shot per second shutter speed (when set at 3.0 megapixel image size)
- 2.8-inch Wide and Bright LCD display (maximum brightness of 1400cd/m2 at center of screen)makes viewing in bright outdoor light easier than ever before
Blur-reduction technologies:
- Automatically analyzes the velocity and vector of a moving subject and sets the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed
- Anti Shake DSP reduces blur due to shaky hands and subject movement, using high shutter speeds and high sensitivity settings
- Movie mode with electronic camera shake compensation function
- Effective Pixels: 12.1 million
- Imaging Element: 1/1.7-inch square pixel color CCD (total pixels: 12.39 million)
- Image File Format: Still images: JPEG (Exif Version 2.2), DCF standard, DPOF compliant Movies: H.264/AVC, MOV format
- Audio: WAV (monaural)
- Recording Media: Built-in flash memory (image area: 11.4MB), SDHC Memory Card / SD Memory Card / Multimedia Card / Multimedia Card plus compatible
- Image Size (Pixels):
Still images: 4000×3000, 4000×2656 (3:2), 4000×2240 (16:9), 3264×2448, 2560×1920, 2048×1536, 640×480

Selected Shorts The Stories of Alice Munro: Young Love
Audio not yet available
Audio not yet available
Guest host Hope Davis presents a coming-of-age story by Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro, and a quirky romance by Aimee Bender.
Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013. It was an acknowledgment of what her readers had always known—that her deceptively simple stories of small lives in small towns tell us a lot about what it is to be human. In the course of her long career she has published over a dozen short story collections. Other honors include the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, the Rea Award for the Short Story and the Man Booker International Prize.
SELECTED SHORTS has featured a number of Munro stories over the years, and the Nobel award was a good reason to celebrate her again. A special evening at Symphony Space included readings of two of her stories. Munro herself joined us via Google Hangouts, and chatted with another great contemporary Canadian novelist, Margaret Atwood. You can hear that talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFZXaeeMykc
This program features "How I Met My Husband." The narrator, a young girl from a rural community away from home for the first time, in her first job, grows up fast in the course of a summer. The story was first published in 1974 as part of Munro's collection Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You. The reader is Amy Ryan. Ryan was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for her performance in "Gone Baby Gone." Her work in television includes roles on "The Wire," "In Treatment," and "The Office." On stage she has appeared in "A Streetcar Named Desire," "The Women," and "Uncle Vanya" among other works
The second story on this program is Aimee Bender's "The Meeting." Its narrator, performed by Paul Hecht, is sure he's met the wrong girl; but he can't seem to stay away. Bender is the author of the short story collections "The Girl in the Flammable Skirt," "Willful Creatures," and "The Color Master," and the novels An Invisible Sign of My Own and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. She teaches at the University of Southern California.
"How I Meet My Husband," by Alice Munro, performed by Amy Ryan
"The Meeting," by Aimee Bender, performed by Paul Hecht
The SELECTED SHORTS theme is David Peterson's "That's the Deal," performed by the Deardorf/Peterson Group.

We're interested in your response to these programs. Please comment on this site or visit www.selectedshorts.org

Thanks to my daughter Rachel who just gave me a copy of I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar by Sharon Eliza Nichols. It's based on the Facebook group of the same name. The group has just short of 420,000 members, who amuse themselves by posting examples of bad grammar and spelling and feel superior by ranting about them. You can check out the flavour of the group here.
Some of the images are pretty funny:
Other zingers in the book include the nursery selling "Fresh Cut Penis $7.99," the road sign that reads "Dont't Drink and Drive," and some college's "Homecoming Spirt Week" sign.
On one level, it's fun to mock bad grammar, spelling and punctuation. It feels good to be part of the elite club that knows better. But the thing is, when you get all snobbish and judgmental it's pretty much certain you will make your own mistakes, which is exactly what happens to Nichols—she's gone and misspelled ACKNOWLEGMENTS in her book. And on behalf of all the people she humiliates, her mistake gives me a whole lot of pleasure.
Okay, it's important to use standard grammar and punctuation. I make a living by teaching people how to do it correctly. I care about grammar and find language endlessly fascinating. I know how poor grammar can erode credibility and inhibit communication. I feel frustrated when I read bad spelling in restaurant menus, on billboards and especially on expensive signage. I always wonder why they didn't ask someone to proofread before they went to print? Part of my curse is constantly editing the world around me.
But I've learned to be tolerant. Sure, if you constantly confuse their/they're/there or it's/its I hope someone points it out because people will judge you for being sloppy, lazy and ignorant. But if you mostly get it right and make mistakes once in a while, I'll assume you were rushed and forgive you. I'll focus on your overall message, not on the minor mistake.
I've also grown more tolerant of mistakes made by writers who speak English as a second language. Consider the courage it would take to speak and write in a foreign language—consider the minefields! If my life circumstances or choices forced me to speak and write in French, Russian or Chinese I know I'd make tons of mistakes. So I feel sad when these signs are mocked—the writers are doing their best and they deserve some credit for that. Still, how hard is it to check a dictionary?
Do you think I'm getting too soft? What's your stand on poor grammar?

There were two conclusions one could take after the Browns' 41-9 loss to the Steelers Sunday:
n Despite what his apologists said, Eric Mangini's squad did not play hard for him all the time.
n Mangini was finished in Cleveland.
Yes, two years is a short amount of time to judge a coach, and yes, the Browns have changed mentors more often than TBS shows "Saved By The Bell" reruns. Or so I've heard.
But stability for stability's sake isn't always a good thing. Ask Lions fans about Matt Millen.
There aren't too many NFL franchises that would tolerate back-to-back 5-11 seasons from a coach. You have to win to prove improvement at the professional level. Mangini's team was, forgetting Sunday, far more competitive this year than the year before. But back-to-back losses to the Bills and Bengals in December all but sealed his fate.
Losses to the hated Steelers and Ravens merely put an exclamation point on the matter.
It's easy to get down on the Browns after a day such as Monday, when it seems the team that can't get it right is starting over again. Does anyone realize that children born the last year of the team's last division title are now legally old enough to drink? How many of them even remember the pre-1999 Browns?
The last time I wrote on my favorite team, one reader accused me of being negative. While I feel for Mangini and his coaching staff, I believe this is a positive time for Cleveland fans.
You have to have confidence in Holmgren to pick the right coach. While he downplayed the possibility in his press conference, it's possible the right coach is looking at him in the mirror.
The Browns never have had a mentor who arrived with a rsum like Holmgren's, and that alone makes the chance enticing.
But assuming he appoints someone else, there's still reason to be positive. The 2010 draft may have been the best in the history of the new Browns, with quarterback Colt McCoy and defensive backs Joe Haden and T.J. Ward all establishing themselves as starters.
Imagine what McCoy could do in a West Coast offense. I don't want to knock Mangini's offense on his way out, but there were times it seemed that a bag of corn chips had more imagination.
No matter who the next coach is, I don't expect there to be a massive overhaul. The front office will stay the same. Key players, such as Ward, McCoy, Haden, Josh Cribbs and Peyton Hillis, likely will remain.
Aside from the coach, there is one change that stands above the others.
The Browns must win.
Otherwise, games like the one Sunday will seem like those "Saved by the Bell" reruns.
And no one wants that.

69 years later, a sailor collects his medals
PHILADELPHIA -- When World War II ended, 20-year-old Navy technician Robert Cyliax just wanted to go home.
After a flight from Iwo Jima to Japan, another to California, then a two-week drive back home to Philadelphia, Cyliax was tired and not concerned with collecting paperwork.
Nearly seven decades later, in a Philadelphia veterans' shelter, the 89-year-old former sailor belatedly picked up five medals for his service Tuesday, all earned but never received.
Members of Cyliax's family waited in the shelter as his younger son, Curt, drove him from his nearby home to the surprise ceremony.
Curt had told his father they were just on their way to "pick up" the medals.
"Oh, well, when did you get here?" the veteran -- startled, but smiling -- asked his relatives as he entered the shelter's packed kitchen.
After some hugs, a doughnut, a cup of coffee, and the Pledge of Allegiance, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., fastened five medals to the pocket on Cyliax's shirt with black binder clips.
"It's not too far from here our founding fathers launched this great republican experiment," the senator said. "They were the first patriots, the first veterans. Veterans have, over centuries now, allowed us to continue to be a great republican experiment."
Cyliax declined to give a speech -- he said he was "too surprised." Afterward, however, he recalled why he had not spoken of his time in the South Pacific, let alone worried about military honors, until now.
"Nobody cared -- it was (just) a matter of whether or not you were a D-Day veteran," Cyliax said.
Little more than a year ago, after the death of his wife of 64 years, the veteran began recounting his experiences overseas with his family.
"I think that, as he's gotten older, he's realized how much his service meant," said Curt Cyliax's wife, Susan. "In the last couple of years, he really started talking."

Apple dominates the mobile cloud ecosystem. In this video, Andrew Tonner reviews why iCloud's dominance should help Apple maintain its revenues and, in particular, repeat sales.
There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded, with more than 1,000% gains. However, after the company's major backslide recently, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

One of this month's features is Scott Michael's "Nano-Reef Aquariums, Part 1." Look for a follow-up nano article in the July issue. Between the two articles, Scott will leave no piece of live rock unturned as he delves into the advantages of these 30-gallons-or-less setups.
All-in-one prepackaged nano setups have opened up the saltwater hobby to a whole segment of the fish-and-coral-loving public that might not otherwise be able to keep saltwater animals in captivity — be it economics, the intimidation factor involved in keeping "giant" 6-foot-long tanks, a lack of space or a combination of all of these.Incidentally, I just picked up a 12-gallon curved-glass nano-cube (pictured) for my office here in Irvine, California. If you have any ideas on what to put in it, you can pass them along to me (details below). Here's what I wrote in one of my exclusives on FishChannel.com:
"I'm thinking along the lines of about a 2- to 3-inch-deep crushed coral sandbed; two pieces of eco-friendly live rock that, when pushed together, form an archway; some mushroom corals (Actinodiscus spp.); one orange-spotted goby (Amblyeleotris guttata); and three bumblebee snails (Engina sp.) for cleanup."
I'm also considering a goby-shrimp combination. Here are a few other suggestions I've already received:• Mandarinfish• LPS (large-polyped stony corals): Acanthastrea lordhowensis and A. echinata
For suggestions of what I should put in my new nano setup, go to my FishChannel.com article "Saltwater Nano-Cube" and log your thoughts into the comment field that follows. Go to FishChannel.com/NanoStocking.
I appreciate the suggestions I've received already and those that I will be receiving. Not only will I carefully consider everyone's ideas, but I'll heed any advice offered, too. I'll let AFI readers know what I decide to go with in a future issue.

Where you can catch Oscar-nominated films in Milwaukee
It's your last chance to catch up on Oscar contenders. Lucky for you many of them are still playing at a theater (or TV screen) near you.
AMC Mayfair Mall shows the final five best-picture nominees in a package on Saturday, and the Marcus Ridge Cinema is showing eight of the nine in package deals on Friday and Saturday; the movies are included below, but check the theaters' websites for details. And those nominated live-action and animated short films are still playing at the Oriental Theatre. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Monday Morning Mavs Donuts
Donut 1: Back in December…
O.J. Mayo's first chance to show up the only other team he has ever played for was back on December 21st and it didn't exactly go well.
But Memphis soured on Mayo's game and his next to years saw him coming off the bench and playing a reduced role. Following last season the Grizzlies chose to let him leave the franchise via free agency.
Mayo is having the best season of his career with the Mavericks averaging 18.4 points per game and shooting nearly 46 percent. But Mayo's homecoming to Memphis back in December was one of his worst performances of the season. Mayo scored just 10 points and shot 3-11 from the field as the Dallas Mavericks lost to Grizzlies 92-82.
Donut 2: Mayo's Quiet revenge
Mayo didn't exactly turn any heads on Saturday night either. Mayo finished with just 11 points. But on the other hand, he shot an efficient 4-7 from the field and was 2-2 from 3-point range.
But more importantly, when his former team came to his new home the result was much different than it was back in December. The Mavericks got a much-needed win and the Grizzlies were on the wrong side of a 104-83 blowout.
"That was cool,'' Juice said. "It was good. We handled our business."
After the game, Rick Carlisle summed up what he saw from Mayo in his second game against the Grizzlies.
"I thought O.J. played a really solid game," Carlisle said. "This is one of those times when you're playing against your former team. It's tempting to get caught up in all that kind of stuff and hunt for shots. He didn't do that. He played a really complete game. He really worked defensively. He made a couple of timely plays."
Donut 3: A long drought comes to an end
Just how bad did the Mavericks need a victory against the Memphis Grizzlies? By defeating the Memphis on Saturday and getting a win over the Sacramento Kings the previous Thursday the Mavs recorded back-to-back wins for the first time in over a month.
The last time Dallas won two straight games was back on December 10th. From that time up until the Sacramento victory, Dallas went 2-13 with wins over Washington and Philadelphia.
Donut 4: No better time than now
If the Mavericks are going to make a push to get back into the playoff picture (or simply work their way back to a .500 record) then now is the time to start making up that ground.
Starting with their game against Memphis on Saturday night, the Mavericks are in the middle of a stretch in that includes six out of seven games in Dallas and includes a four game home stretch. While there are certainly some tough opponents in that stretch, including Oklahoma City and San Antonio, long home stretches like this are rare and the Mavericks will need to find a way to take advantage.
Donut 5: Should the Mavericks target Rudy Gay?
The constantly swirling rumor mill would suggest that Memphis forward Rudy Gay is on the market. Some believe that the Grizzlies wouldn't mind parting with Gay (and his hefty contract) in order to be able remain financially flexible to continue to build around the core of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. There's even speculation that the Grizzlies are looking to add a scoring guard and that the Phoenix Suns are a possible destination for Gay.
With the Mavericks sitting well below .500 and considering Dirk Nowitzki's recent comments about not being able to "build around hope" might it be a good idea to make a trade for a good, young, borderline All-Star?
We're DB.com. So we'll eventually get the best in answers to questions like this. But in this space I can take a look at the numbers and see what kind of trade would be logistically possible. A trade that sent Shawn Marion and Vince Carter to the Grizzlies and landed the Mavericks, Gay would be logistically possible.
It would be hard to part ways with a player like Marion who does so much on both sides of the ball, but would a nucleus of Mayo, Gay and Nowitzki be worth it? On the other hand, some might say that Mayo and Gay never meshed well together when the two teamed up in Memphis.
Gay scored 12 points on Saturday night against the Mavericks and he is averaging 18 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season.
For now, toss this piece of grist into the rumor mill. ... along with everybody from Dwight Howard to Greg Oden to everybody in between.
Donut 6: What does Cuban have to say?
While Mark Cuban was not asked about any specific roster moves, he did comment Saturday night on the strategy of improving the team via trade. Cuban advised the media to pump the breaks on the idea that the roster needs immediate improvement.
"We're not going to make a trade just to make a trade," Cuban said.
But then again, if they did decide to make a trade…
"We're going to try to get better," Cuban said. "We're going to be opportunistic. If something comes along we're going to look… We never say 'this is the only way we're going to do it.' We're going to be opportunistic. If it's a short-term value trade we'll look at the pluses and minuses of it and make a decision. But there's a 100-percent chance we're going to look to do something."
Fish conducted a one-on-one interview with Mavs GM Donnie Nelson on this subject and much more. Stay tuned!
Donut 7: Speaking of Marion and Carter, which should play in the clutch?
Prior to Saturday's game Rick Carlisle was asked about his choice to as of late to play Carter in the lineup over Marion in the crucial final minutes of close games. Carlisle has always been an defensive minded coach, but recently he has chosen to rely on the more offensively focused player in Carter.
Here was Carlisle's response.
"Coach's decision," Carlisle said. "Sometimes it has to do with dynamics of running the floor. Other times we need a stretch 3-point shooter. Sometimes we need a playmaker off the dribble at that spot….As you've seen in recent games, sometime we go with both those guys when we play Marion at the five."
Donut 8: Matrix makes his case
The Mavericks didn't find themselves in a close late-game situation on Saturday night as they blew out the Grizzlies so neither Carter or Marion were in the game in the final minutes.
But despite Carlisle's reasoning for playing Carter in the clutch as of late, Marion made a pretty good case that the more minutes he plays the better. Marion had arguably his best game of the season scoring 20 points and shooting 9-13 from the field and chipped in four rebounds.
Carter scored 8 points off bench and recorded four rebounds and five assists.
Donut 9: Best Win of the Season?
Looking back at the Mavericks 15 wins this season, the Memphis Grizzlies at 24-11 have a better record than any of the other teams that Dallas has beaten.
Combining that with the fact that the Mavericks out played the Grizzlies on basically every level and completely blew them out by the third quarter and it is probably safe to say that Saturday night's game was the Mavericks best win of the season so far.
It is true that the Grizzlies might have been fatigued from playing an overtime game against San Antonio the night before, but it is a credit to the Mavericks that they were able to take advantage of that. These type of victories are often the ones that spark a struggling team to go on a run. Only time will tell if the Mavericks can sustain this success moving forward, but if they can manage to replicate the type of performance they had on Saturday and it might be fair to say that a number of people buried them far too soon.
"It's the kind of game we need," Carlisle said. "We need more of these. But they're hard to come by."
Donut 10: Put to the test
That theory will be put to the test tonight. Minny at Mavs, 7:30 tonight. DB.com will have full coverage during and after Dallas' attempt to get a third straight win.
Donut 11: Dirk looking like Dirk
We all knew that this team would never really be any type of threat in the Western Conference until Dirk Nowitzki was back playing at a level that we have grown accustomed to seeing from him over the years.
He may not be all the way back to normal, but if Saturday was any indication then Nowitizki is well on his way. He finished the game with 17 points off of just eight shots. He also made all three of the 3-pointers he took and tacked on 6 rebounds and three assists.
When Nowitzki is shooting well and scoring efficiently everything tends to click for the rest of the Mavericks. At least that has been the case for the past 13 years. No reason to think it will change anytime soon…
One more reason it makes so much sense for Cuban to say ...
Donut 12: The Final Word
"I just wanted to make clear to (Dirk) that we're in this through thick and thin. So there's no way that I'd trade him, no matter what." - Mark Cuban.

93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2011
(from vines on the Puligny side): Quite closed on the nose, hinting at creme caramel. A step up in intensity and structure from the Bienvenue, with stone fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by bright lemony acidity. Youthfully imploded wine with terrific steely cut. Impressively taut on the long, rising finish. An excellent Batard that should age well.

Even though winter is not yet over, we're beginning to see some preliminary outlooks for weather this summer.
The outlooks below are taken from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center and two private weather companies, ImpactWeather and Commodity Weather Group. The forecast discussion comes from meteorologist Fred Schmude, of ImpactWeather.
Generally, Schmude says, La Niña conditions over the Tropical Pacific will continue to weaken and we may even see neutral conditions (neither La Niña nor El Niño) develop over there during the summer months. Farther north the PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation) is forecast to remain negative during the summer, while both the TNA (Tropical North Atlantic) and AMO (Atlantic Decadal Oscillation) are forecast to remain positive.
Understanding these patterns allows forecasters to look for past years when conditions were the same, and look to what kinds of summers those years had.
With that in mind, here's the temperature outlook from NOAA:
Commodity Weather:
Commodity Weather
As you can see above, all three of the forecasting services anticipate the most likely outcome to be above normal-temperatures for southeast Texas this summer, although they are careful to state it should not be quite so warm as last summer.
For rainfall, there's less agreement. The three services are split between above-normal, normal and below-normal predictions for rain this summer.
Here's NOAA:
Impact Weather
Commodity Weather:
Commodity Weather
Schmude said the long-range forecasting tools for precipitation show "mixed signals" this summer, so it's hard to say with any confidence what kind of rainfall we might see. I would hope for a wetter summer as spring forecasts are generally dry and we might otherwise see drought conditions.
Some may recall the long-range forecast for the 2010-2011 winter: Warmer and drier. A bust, right? Not necessarily. Although early February was very, very cold it appears that by month's end the average temperature for December, January and February may well end up being slightly above normal. And generally we have seen below-normal rainfall.
I'll do a complete scorecard on the winter forecast once February ends.

I find it interesting that the headline was "Fatty foods" but the actual research primarily involved sugar, especially with the rats.
My cousin, who has just started eating Primal after my suggestion, sent me this news link today.
Fatty Foods Addictive as Cocaine in Growing Body of Science - Bloomberg
While the title is ridiculously misleading (they use 'fatty foods' as a synonym for processed, industrialized food), the article almost proves what we all believe in. Eliminate sugars, grains and bad fats, as this quote says.
"What has changed is modern processing that creates food with concentrated levels of sugars, unhealthy fats and refined flour, without redeeming levels of fiber or nutrients, obesity experts said. Consumption of large quantities of those processed foods may be changing the way the brain is wired."
It's funny because he sent it to me questioning the principles, but in fact just gave me more fuel to make them stronger! One thing I'd be interested to see is if bad fats (vegetable/trans) are as addictive as sugar. I find it highly unlikely, as they don't give any immediate survival benefit, but I would still like to see a study where they differentiated between sugar/bad fats/grains to see their respective effects.
I find it interesting that the headline was "Fatty foods" but the actual research primarily involved sugar, especially with the rats.
I don't know. I'm pretty addicted to good steak. There may be some truth to this after all.
The only paleo fatty food that I tend to eat addictively is nuts. Otherwise, the big offenders are all fatty carbs, like bread slathered with butter, French fries, potato chips, etc. But, I can eat 8oz of steak with a couple tablespoons of butter on top, and I won't eat anything else for six hours... so much for fat being addictive.
Cocaine, this is terrible way to die.

The Fourth Annual Chilifest was another success as 11 chefs competed for the attention of judges and the 150 attendees.
Held on October 7th at our Bothell funeral home, Chilifest was a partnership between Washelli, the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce and HopeLink, a local food bank. Judges included Tim & Victoria Hunter, Rev. Tor Berg and Mike McNamee. Attendees could vote for the Peoples' Choice award with donations of food or cash to Hopelink. Local radio station KOMO interviewed our community relations coordinator Dale Amundsen that morning about the gastronomical event.
Winners of the juried categories were Richard Olson and Susan Gardner of OlsonDesign in the Green Bean (vegetarian) category (a pumpkin-based concoction); Leeann Tesorieri of Country Village for the Mr. Meaty Award; the Burnt Spoon was awarded to Shirley King at the CarePlus Medical Center; and the Judges' Choice Award went to Christina Parish from Kenmore Self Storage for her "Witches Brew".
Richard and Susan also garnered the most votes in the Peoples' Choice award for their "Chilikin" chili.
We are proud to report that quantities of Rolaids, Alka-Seltzer and Beano were on hand for all who tasted.
From the Bothell Reporter article "Colorful Chilifest"; Chilifest 2009. Photographs by Andy Nystrom.
"Pictured are Seahawks fan Julie Cosgrove of J2J Creative discussing her "Tailgatin' Chili" with an attendee and Judy Gratton of RE/MAX Town Center serving her "Chiquita Chili" at last Thursday night's Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce Chilifest at Evergreen Washelli Funeral Home in Bothell. In the background with Gratton are Brad and Lisa Havens of Forte Communications ("Bar H' Hatch Chili"). Cosgrove mixed bratwurst, beans and peppers into her chili. Gratton's concoction featured pork and bananas. Winners were: Evergreen Washelli's "Meaty Man's Chili" (Mr. Meaty); Bastyr University's "Bastyr's Bodacious Beans" (Green Bean); Chateau at Bothell Landing's "Lip-Licking Green Chili" (Burnt Spoon); and Three Cups of Tea's "Not Just Another Chicken Chili" (Judges' Choice). Jennifer Armenta's "Serendipity" won the People's Choice award. The estimated 180-200 attendees tasted 14 types of chili during the event, which raised $1,000 in cash and food for Hopelink."

Digital company resurrects private equity investment
BERLIN — Lux Digital Pictures, a new German film company, is reanimating the dead in its first feature production, a 3-D remake of "Night of the Living Dead," and resurrecting the possibility of private equity investment following the demise of film funds.
The Berlin-based Lux Digital partnered with the pic's producer-director Jeff Broadstreet, coming on board to completely finance "Night of the Living Dead 3-D." Producers describe the film as "a homage" to George Romero's 1968 zombie classic — a title that is in the public domain.
Launched last year by Ingo Jucht, Lux Digital is backed by several equity investors, a setup that may prove increasingly interesting to German investors who no longer have the possibility to invest in tax-sheltering film funds following the government's recent clampdown on the market. Investors can still invest directly in production companies, however.
"After the closure of the media funds, such a structure is one of the few opportunities left to investors who are really interested in film production," says Jucht.
Lux Digital is developing two other projects: "Earth Creature," a sci-fi thriller penned by "Night of the Living Dead 3-D" scribe Robert Valding; and "Summer Love," a teen romance set in 1970s Cuba written by David Schmoeller.
Jucht is looking for a Latin American or Spanish co-production partner for "Summer Love," a story about an American teen who falls for a Cuban girl while visiting the island with his father.
Industry vet Tom Coleman is advising Lux Digital, which is focusing solely on English-language productions budgeted at around $2 million.
"The investments will be capped, but that doesn't mean we can't be part of projects with budgets of up to $5 million," says Coleman, adding the company is looking to remain fiscally disciplined by backing projects that make economic sense: "'Night of the Living Dead 3-D' is clever and commercial, it has a brand name you know and it's in 3-D."
Plus, Coleman adds, Lux Digital, as the name implies, is keen to use digital when possible. "We can deliver a professional-looking product at very low cost using high-definition digital cameras."
Lux Digital is currently shopping the pic to international distributors.

Tony Sanchez, Dan Morales, Victor Morales, Adrian Castillo, Manny Perez, Joe Ruiz, Nancy Bosquez, Ana Estevez, Ernesto De Leon, Xavier Rodriguez - those and other Hispanic candidates were on Tuesday's primary ballot.
The mountain of local and state Hispanic candidates, however, received a flat response from Hispanic voters in Amarillo.
In the Hispanic neighborhoods of east-central Amarillo, a slightly lower percentage of registered voters went to the polls compared with four years ago, according to Potter County records.
"We really hoped it would be a lot larger than it was, we were disappointed," said Potter County Justice of the Peace Bosquez, who ran unopposed for re-election in the Democratic Party primary. "It's a bitter pill to swallow."
On Tuesday, 13.18 percent of Potter registered voters went to the polls countywide.
The turnout rate, however, was only 9.16 percent in Hispanic neighborhoods, down from 9.8 percent in the March 10, 1998, primary election.
Besides the percentages, the actual Hispanic vote count of 1,136 was down from 1,178 votes cast in 1998.
Even with Democratic candidates Sanchez and Dan Morales running for Texas governor, fewer Amarillo Hispanics voted in the Democratic Party primary than in 1998. Back then, Democrats racked up 791 votes, compared with 665 this time.
Most candidates in Tuesday's election didn't advertise to Hispanics the way many others do, using the Spanish-language radio and newspapers, said Glenda Grisham, a director with Amigo Broadcasting and owner of La Voz Hispana newspaper.
Spanish-language radio KQFX-FM, 104.3, is a top-rated station in Amarillo, but only three of Tuesday's candidates advertised on it, Grisham said.
Usually, Amarillo candidates give only last-minute consideration to the Spanish media, Grisham said. Hispanic voters are either dismissed, or taken for granted, as being Democrats, but that's not true, Grisham said.
"We live in a free country; we can change our vote anytime we want," Grisham said.
Amarillo businessman Gilbert Guzman said education on voting, and getting more Hispanics registered, will increase the turnout.
Potter County Commissioner Manny Perez said he does not know why the turnout was so low.
"I wish I could tell you," said Perez, a Democrat. "I was very disappointed."
Perez said for Tuesday's primary election both he and challenger Ruiz ran active campaigns, which included walking the neighborhoods.
Perez said a big voter turnout would send a message to Austin.
"We need to show the Panhandle is strong," Perez said.
Bosquez said she does not know what can be done to get the Hispanic vote out in Amarillo, except more education.

I don't drink mine, I use it for stock, soups, and other cooking.
Hi I'm new to primal eating but am adopting a lot of the lifestyle changes mark preaches in primal blueprint, I've tried bone broth in the past and am going to start making it again, I'm curious if there's an optimal time to be drinking it? Or when others drink theirs? In the morning I have a pint of greed tea on waking, then a mug of black coffee with coconut oil then walk the dog and walk to work then eat a veggie omelette, would somewhere in there be beneficial or could it inhibit the green teas antioxidants and the coconuts mct benefits? I'm thinking a cup with my omelette? Thanks for any advice and I look forward to learning from some of you guys who have more knowledge in the field

I've considered drinking broth in the morning like having a cup of coffee. But so far all I've ever done is make soup. I made some nice chicken feet soup recently. I don't usually consume broth on a regular basis.

I just drink mine when I feel like it. Or when I am doing a 'half fast"
I do drink mine like a mug of coffee. Add some salt and spices (whatever your up for). I don't care much for soups I guess....just once in a great while. Plus I was in the bad habit of having an evening coffee and this displaces that nicely.
i wouldn't worry too much about timing. getting it in your tummy, whatever way possible is a good thing. don't over think it.
how about the opposite and drink it when you get a craving?
Didn't really consider the fact of drinking it to quench a craving, I was more looking at drinking it for potential health benefits, I was planning on making a big batch and freezing the majority and drinking a cup a day? Seems like the consensus might be that its overkill? I don't have any leaky gut issues that I know of just wanting to prevent anything
Hmm cool cheers, well if there's no downside at least then I'll go right ahead with planning a big batch
