NASA is announcing the International Space Apps Competition to support the Open Government Partnership (OGP), which President Barack Obama announced Tuesday. The challenge will culminate with a two-day event next year that will provide an opportunity for government to use the expertise and entrepreneurial spirit of citizen explorers to help address global challenges.
During the event, NASA representatives and officials from international space agencies will gather with scientists and citizens to use publicly-released scientific data to create solutions for issues, such as weather impact on the global economy and depletion of ocean resources.
"The competition embraces the concept of 'open innovation' to improve performance, inform decision-making, encourage entrepreneurship, and solve problems more effectively," said Nick Skytland of NASA's Open Government Initiative.
The OGP is a new, multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption and harness new technologies. NASA's participation in the United States Domestic Plan will promote innovation through international collaboration.
NASA is a leader in the U.S. Open Government Initiative. The president's FY 2012 budget request focuses NASA's efforts on a vigorous path of innovation and technological development. The path leads to an array of challenging and inspiring missions to destinations with an incredible potential for discovery, increasing knowledge about our solar system, developing technologies to improve life on Earth, expanding our presence in space, increasing space commerce, and engaging the public.

In response to Admiral Thad
Allen's August 13, 2010 directive to the Unified Area Command (UAC) to carry
out a comprehensive subsurface oil monitoring program to inform the emergency
response efforts, the Interagency Executive Leadership Group in collaboration
with academic partners in the Gulf region held a series of listening sessions
to solicit input on the development of the monitoring program. Many of
you participated in these extremely productive sessions hosted by the
University of South Florida, Mississippi State University and Tulane
University or provided written or electronic comments. After
carefully considering the many useful suggestions and recommendations you
provided, our sampling and monitoring activities were enhanced and culminated
in the final Implementation Strategy for Sub-Sea and Sub-Surface Oil and
Dispersant Detection, Sampling, and Monitoring. The strategy document
outlines the steps taken to integrate agency, academic, and private scientific
efforts in sampling, detection, analysis and reporting of results. It outlines
sampling plans; enables additional sampling based upon initial findings;
supports timely sharing of data and knowledge among government, scientific and
public parties; and involves government, academic and private researchers in
monitoring and data interpretation. The full strategy document is
available online at
The sampling program outlined in
this document was completed in late October. Now the Operational Science
Advisory Team (OSAT), which provides scientific analysis and advice to the Federal
On-Scene Coordinator, Admiral Zukunft, is analyzing the results. Based on
the OSAT's recommendations, Admiral Zukunft will make decisions about further
response, cleanup or sampling. The subsurface monitoring program also lays the
foundation for additional research into the spill's long-term impacts on the
health of the Gulf. Federal and state natural resource trustee agencies
continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts of the spill and, through the
damage assessment process, are determined to hold the responsible parties
accountable for restoring the damage done to the environment.
Data from this sampling program
will be made available electronically when it is quality assured, and in
addition, we plan to have the Joint Analysis Group provide more detailed
analyses and summary reports. We want to encourage, over the next several
months, collaboration and the combination of these data with those obtained by
other researchers, and to maintain an active dialog on what we jointly are
finding. We certainly appreciate any ideas you may have moving forward on
how this dialog can be enhanced.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank you for your input in this process and for your continued interest and involvement as we work together to protect and restore the ecological, economic and cultural resources of the Gulf and develop insights that will help inform future generations.
Papers are solicited for a special issues of IEEE J-STARS on Interoperability architectures and arrangements for multi-disciplinary Earth Observation systems and applications. Details are in the attachment.

FY2012 Prevention, Control, and Mitigation of Harmful Algal Blooms (PCM HAB) Program Request for Proposals
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is pleased to announce a competition for research funding under the Prevention, Control, and Mitigation of Harmful Algal Blooms (PCM HAB) Program. Under this competition, NOAA seeks to advance research on mitigating the effect of harmful algal blooms, or HABs, which is a growing problem affecting our nation's coastal and Great lakes ecosystems. HABs are blooms of marine and freshwater algae that can produce harmful toxins or accumulate in sufficient numbers to alter ecosystems in detrimental ways. HABs can result in a number of social, economic and ecological problems, such as contaminated seafood and drinking water, the mortality of fish and wildlife, negative public health outcomes, and costly economic impacts to coastal and Great Lakes communities. Thus, there is a need to better understand options for the prevention, control and/or mitigation of HABs. Through this funding opportunity, NOAA will support research that improves assessment of the societal and economic impacts of HABs, or determines the costs and benefits of management strategies used to mitigate, control or prevent outbreaks. To view the full request for proposals please visit www.grants.gov and search for Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-NOS-NCCOS-2012-2002987. Alternatively, you may use the liked provided, below. Please direct questions about the PCM HAB Program or funding competition to Dr. Quay Dortch, Program Coordinator, Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB), by phone at 301-713-3338 ext 157 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), in partnership with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin (NIAMS), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) solicits applications to: 1) examine impacts of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster on health, illness and quality of life for the general population residing in the Gulf coast region; and 2) increase the scientific evidence base needed to strengthen the resiliency of vulnerable populations along the Gulf coast to prepare for and recover from the effects of the DWH and similar disasters. In addition to the potential for exposure to oil, dispersants and other chemical mixtures, residents in the Gulf region are experiencing economic hardship, job loss, resettlements and other forms of psychological distress which may all adversely impact health and quality of life. The intent of this RFA is to create one or more community-based participatory research consortia of university-community partnerships to address health issues of concern to the residents of the Gulf States affected by the DWH disaster and to enhance capacity to respond to potential future disasters and prevent or minimize adverse health effects arising from them.
The EPA Science to Achieve Result (STAR) program is seeking applications proposing the development of assessment, tools and techniques, and demonstration of innovative technologies for providing information and capacity to adequately prepare for climate-induced changes in extreme events in the context of air and water quality management. The goal is to seek better understanding of the hazards (the extreme events) and to establish ways for climate scientists, impact assessment modelers, air and water quality managers, and other stakeholders to co-produce information necessary to form sound policy in relation to extreme events and their impact on air and water quality under a changing climate.
In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career projects. The purpose of the early career projects is to fund research projects smaller in scope and budget by early career PIs.
As part of the federal government's response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a $2 million Congressional appropriation for a grant or grants for "a study on the potential human and environmental risks and impacts of the release of crude oil and the application of dispersants, surface washing agents, bioremediation agents, and other mitigation measures listed in the National Contingency Plan Product List (40 C.F.R. Part 300 Subpart J)." To implement this appropriation through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grant program, EPA is seeking applications proposing to develop a research program, including an effective community outreach program component, to mitigate the impact of oil spills.
The research program must address one or more of the following topics: (1) development of cost-effective innovative technologies to mitigate the impact of oil spills; (2) development of effective oil dispersants, surface washing agents, bioremediation agents, and other mitigation measures ("dispersants/agents/measures") with low environmental impact; and (3) investigation of the effects of oil spills and application of dispersants/agents/measures on the environment. Applicants must also submit a community outreach program plan, the objective of which is to help impacted Gulf Coast communities effectively participate in the study and use its results. To achieve this objective, the applicant should work collaboratively with affected communities to identify significant risks posed by oil spills to human health and the environment, obtain their input in the design of a study to help the communities address these challenges, and provide technical assistance to them so that they can use the results of the study.

Jet Impact:
Former University of North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples caught the apple of Rex Ryan's eye at the NFL's scouting combine. While he was on the Jets draft radar in the months leading up to the draft, the Tarheel standout all but secured his spot with Gang Green after his superb combine performance. As powerful and agile as athletes come, Coples is the poster boy for the Jets 'One Step Faster' offseason initiative.
During Ryan's first three seasons with the Green-and-White, he never had the luxury of a defensive lineman capable of drawing double teams from opponents. Flash forward to the 2012 season and Coples could very well evolve into a disruptive force along New York's defensive front.
With doubt and cynicism surrounding the Jets selection of Coples with their first-round pick, Gang Green's newest edge pass-rusher will likely play with a chip on his shoulder to silence his critics. Under the tutelage of Ryan and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Coples will shine during his rookie campaign making his mark on the NFL from the get-go.
Defining Moment:
Coples will leave little doubt in the minds of many that he is deserving of a Top 20 draft selection. As the Jets embark on their 2012 campaign they will face early challenges with home games against the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans along with road contests opposing the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots highlighting their first-half regular season schedule.
The young buck has the opportunity to make an outstanding first impression in front of the Metlife Stadium crowd during New York's home opener against the Buffalo Bills. In spite of uncertainty about his coachability drive and to succeed, Coples will prove that the stage is not too grand and will have the greatest city in the world in the palm of his hand.

Category crunch: Infant formula in China - part 2
There have been a number of food safety scares around infant formula in China
In part two of just-food's category crunch on China's infant formula sector, Petah Marian reports on how product development has reacted to fears over product safety.
Infant formula manufacturers have quickly seized on consumer fears over food safety, with companies focusing their development on premium and imported products.
International players have convinced consumers of their products' safety by importing products, while a number of local companies have entered into joint ventures with international operators.
Heinz, which entered the China's infant nutrition sector in April 2010, has already attained a "strong brand value" in the country, the company's CFO Art Winkleblack said in November last year. Heinz imports its infant range from the UK, as, the Heinz finance chief said there is a "greater trust in imported formula".
The strategy seems to be paying off. Heinz said at a recent analyst day that it reported some 41% organic growth in its infant nutrition business in China during the 2011 financial year. The company said that innovation has driven sales growth in the division, with the company launching products like baby food pouches and SuperGold infant formula over the past 18 months.
Late last year, Chi-Med launched a joint venture with US organic food manufacturer Hain Celestial to produce a co-branded Earth's Best and Zhi Ling Tong organic infant formula, produced under agreement with an independent Swiss supplier.
According to Euromonitor, organic infant formula debuted in late 2009, developing after the melamine scandal when consumers in China were more willing to pay a premium for safe products.
However, organic baby food remains relatively nascent in the country with "consumer awareness of the organic concept still relatively low in China", says Euromonitor. Indeed, Perille emphasises that the impact of organic formula on the industry has been minimal to date.
"The prime focus remains on the overall quality and safety of ingredients and products, where consumer sensitivity remains very high," says Perille.
Synutra, which was at the centre of the allegations of premature breast development, also launched an imported product, called Super Series, in March this year. It is produced and packed in Denmark and was developed as part of moves to "rebuild trust" in its products, the company said on a recent conference call.
More recently, Chinese infant formula manufacturer Ausnutria Dairy announced plans to take a majority stake in Dutch dairy group Hyproca. Ausnutria said it plans to integrate Hyproca's global fine resources and develop its global competitive R&D capability. It also plans to build Hyproca's processing capacity to provide the Chinese market with "safer and higher standard infant food".
While the focus seems firmly on imports, Mead Johnson, the country's largest infant formula manufacturer by market share, told just-food that it plans to open its next Paediatric Nutrition Institute (PNI) in Guangzhou. Perille says that the move marks a strategic shift for the company from "Made in China" to "Researched, Developed and Made in China".
"With this new facility, Mead Johnson will be in an even stronger position to meet the fast-growing needs of the local marketplace by collaborating with top Chinese research and academic institutes to bring superior and tailored nutritional care to infants and children in China," says Perille.
Nevertheless, despite the company manufacturing most of its products in China, the company is clearly aware of consumer concerns over the safety of local milk, with Perille emphasising that all of its product ingredients, including dairy, are sourced outside the country.
Online retail has been another beneficiary of concerns over the safety of local products, developing as consumers have lost confidence in local milk powder following the spate of milk contamination incidents in recent years. According to Euromonitor, milk powder was the second most popular category for overseas online purchase in the first half of 2010, with a 17%, behind cosmetics with 28%.
Euromonitor found that young mothers are turning to the Internet to buy infant milk powder to take advantage of the lower prices and wider selection offered by these sites. The research firm says that retailers are ahead of the game in online dairy sales, as most manufacturers tend not to sell directly to consumers. Bright Dairy are some of the few dairy companies in China that are actively selling online through dedicated sites, or through stores on Taobao Mall – a Chinese website similar to eBay.
Consumers are turning to other non-traditional channels to buy baby formula. According to Euromonitor, sales of infant-formula through non-grocery retailers like mother and baby stores became "rather signficant" in China during 2010, taking over 20% of total baby milk formula sales.
Synutra is is one manufacturer to take advantage of this emerging trend. It said that it launched My Angel in December last year under a new business model, where it sells directly to mom-and-pop stores and speciality baby stores. Synutra said that because it distributes the products directly, it can sell to them at a much lower cost, providing them with a higher incentive to sell the product. Between the launch and the company's financial results announcement earlier this month, the company said that it had gained distribution in some 3,000 stores.

Mark Brown
Mark Brown makes fun, one-of-a-kind mixed media sculptures and clocks in his backyard studio in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Trained as a painter, he has worked on canvas for 25 years, and his interest in color, pattern and figurative imagery can be seen in this current body of three-dimensional work. Each of his pieces is a unique, stylized and engaging character.
Most of the components in Mark's artworks have had another life, and indeed much of what he uses is collected at tag sales and flea markets. This ensures that each individual piece has its own identity. He responds to the opportunities presented by the materials at hand, and he believes that each object has it own power. These household items were designed with style and utility in mind. This dash of panache carries over into the new, transformed union of vintage bits and pieces and contemporary sensibilities.
Mark's work is shown throughout the United States. Recently he spent a day with a film crew in his studio, and an edited version of that visit will be broadcasted on HGTV this fall. He was featured in Transformations East, a recycle show originating at the Fuller Museum of Art, and people from all over the world have collected his sculptures.

Slippery Rock U. projects $10M deficit
SLIPPERY ROCK -- Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania is expecting a $10 million deficit for fiscal year 2014-15.
President Cheryl Norton told trustees last week that the university is addressing the deficit through workforce reductions, cuts in operating budgets and by increasing revenue.
Slippery Rock University spokeswoman Rita Abent said that each division has been asked to cut costs by 9 percent.
But some university departments may only be able to cut 5 or 6 percent, and others may be able to cut more to compensate, she said.
Abent said the school will try to maintain a 20-1 student-to-faculty ratio.

Last week's column urging brewers to consider new ideas, from vending machines to malt-centric recipes, led me to a weekend of experimentation with some of the newfangled beer-improvement contraptions that are already on the market.
After several hours in the Sixpack Test Kitchen, I concluded that maybe we'd all be better off just leaving well enough alone.
Because as appealing as the Ultimate Aromatic Experience sounds, as one product promises, it's really hard to improve on the simple enjoyment of cracking open a bottle and pouring a fresh beer into a clean glass.
Still, as a team of devoted lab rats sacrificed their palates and dignity last weekend for a series of offbeat and somewhat calamitous experiments, I'm obligated to share the test results.

Rangers send Eminger to Whale for conditioning
The New York Rangers have assigned defenseman Steve Eminger to the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL) on a conditioning loan.
Eminger, 29, has skated in four contests this season, having made his season debut on Jan. 23 against Boston. He has not dressed in six of the Rangers' last seven games. Eminger is four points shy of 100 career NHL points, having registered 19 goals and 77 assists in 457 career regular-season games with the Rangers, Anaheim, Florida, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Washington.
The Woodbridge, Ont., native was acquired by the Rangers from Anaheim in exchange for Aaron Voros and Ryan Hillier on July 9, 2010. He was originally selected by the Washington Capitals as a first-round choice, 12th overall, in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
Eminger played 103 AHL games with Portland from 2003-05, and participated in the AHL All-Star Classic in 2005.

I used red onions, this recipe was very good, a nice ''custardy'' sweetness. My family all gave it thumbs up, thanks for posting. =)
This was very good and easy to prepare! It is rather rich, but we enjoyed it! I prepared exactly by the recipe and was very pleased at how it turned out! I used vidalia onions and I like the idea of using red onions as noted by a previous reviewer. Thanks!
I made this for my husbands work Thanksgiving Party, it went together easily and presenatation was good. I thought the flavor was mild (I followed directions adding only a little pepper to taste), but good, my husband thought it was bland, hence the 4 stars. Red pepper flakes or sirracha could be added to spice it up. Since this was one week before Thanksgiving I doubled it and froze the second casserole after baking, before adding the cheese topping and I'll update how it freezes & thaws), I know cream sauces can be problematic, but I'm hoping to make Thanksgiving day easier.
This is indulgent, but soooo worth it. This came together easily and is so good. Thanks!

Sir Ken has authored and co-authored a wide range of books, reports and articles on creativity, the arts, education and cultural development. Here's a selection:
The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
By Sir Ken Robinson with Lou Aronica
Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative (Wiley/Capstone)
By Sir Ken Robinson
"This really is a remarkable book. It does for human resources what Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did for the environment." – Wally Olins, Founder, Wolff-Olins
"Books about creativity are not always creative. Ken Robinson's is a welcome exception…" – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow
"Ken Robinson writes brilliantly about the different ways in which creativity is undervalued and ignored in Western culture and especially in our educational systems." – John Cleese, actor
Sir Ken has been chairman and principal author of influential commissions to promote creativity and innovation in education, business and the community. They include:
|All Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education In 1998, Ken Robinson led a national commission on creativity, education and the economy forthe UK Government bringing together leading business people, scientists, artists and educators. His report, All Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education (The Robinson Report) was published to huge acclaim. The London Times said: 'This report raises some of the most important issues facing business in the 21st century. It should have every CEO and human resources director thumping the table and demanding action.'A downloadable PDF version of the All Our Futures is available: Here
|Unlocking Creativity: A Strategy for Development Sir Ken was a central figure in developing a strategy for creative and economic development as part of the Peace Process in Northern Ireland, working with the ministers for training, education enterprise and culture. The resulting blueprint for change, Unlocking Creativity, was adopted by politicians of all parties and by business, education and cultural leaders across the Province. Information on the report and the Unlocking Creativity initiatives in Northern Ireland is available at: www.dcalni.gov.uk
|The Arts In Schools: Principles, practice and provision This report argues the case for the arts in schools and considers the consequent implications and conclusions. Our conviction is that schools must develop broader not narrower curricula and that the arts have an important place within this approach. www.amazon.com/Arts-Schools-Ken-Robinson

IF NOT FOR the NFL's labor issues, tonight would be glorious night for Eagles fans.
Imagine the boys at the Nova-Care Complex trading Kevin Kolb to one of the many quarterback-needy teams in the top 10. Imagine them getting their hands on Cincinnati's pick at No. 4 or Arizona's at No. 5 or San Francisco's at No. 7, and walking away with one of the draft's big prizes.
Maybe cornerback Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara. Maybe offensive tackle Tyron Smith or Anthony Castonzo. Maybe defensive end Robert Quinn or Aldon Smith.

Early morning weather causes power outages, school closures
CROWLEY – Bad weather that hit Crowley, and the surrounding areas, early Friday morning caused most of the city to lose electricity and some school closures.
Cleco reports that all outages were repaired by 7:54 a.m., but a couple of Crowley schools were forced to close before. St. Michael School and Redemptorist Catholic School announced closures earlier in the morning.
Meanwhile Notre Dame High School of Acadia Parish, Northside Christian School and all public schools in Crowley are open today. In fact, Crowley High School was lucky to never lose power at all during the early morning storm.
Cleco was able to re-energize the substation in order for residents in Crowley to have power, but the company is still unsure where the problem occurred. They do know that there was a problem with the high voltage transmission lines that power the substation that feeds the city of Crowley electricity.

OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: 05-1784-NEW/BOS 2005-250
Friday, September 23, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
ALBANY, N.Y -- An Amsterdam, N.Y., pallet recycler's failure to safeguard workers against a wide range of safety and health hazards has resulted in $120,000 in fines from the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Power Pallet Inc. was cited for alleged willful and serious safety and health violations following an inspection OSHA began March 15.
OSHA's inspection found that the company failed to develop specific procedures for shutting down machines and locking out their power sources to prevent accidental startup during maintenance or repair work. The company also failed to train workers on these procedures, provide an adequate supply of locks and ensure their use.
"The absence of lockout/tagout procedures, training and tools leaves workers exposed to the potentially fatal hazard of being caught in machinery that's accidentally energized," said John Tomich, OSHA's area director in Albany. "This employer knew these safeguards were required, yet apparently chose not to provide them."
As a result, OSHA cited the company for three willful violations with a proposed penalty of $115,500. OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard of or plain indifference to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
Four serious citations, carrying $4,500 in fines, were also issued. These covered hazards involving obstructed exit access, lack of engineering and administrative controls to reduce noise exposure, not training workers on all required elements of a hearing conservation program, lack of labeling on a motor disconnect and improper machine guarding on nail grinders. A serious citation is issued when death or serious physical harm are likely to result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Power Pallet has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply with them, request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The investigation was conducted by OSHA's area office in Albany, 401 New Karner Rd., Suite 300; telephone (518) 464-4338.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7773 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Egomaniacal Mom at Playground Won't Stop Until She Takes the Perfect Selfie
You don't have to a mother-to-be to take selfies (yeah, we're talking about you, Kim K. -- you're welcome for the free pub).
You don't have to a mother-to-be to take selfies (yeah, we're talking about you, Kim K. -- you're welcome for the free pub).
Social media is pushing to make today June 8th 'National Best Friend (s) Day'.
Have you heard about the new craze, the donut selfie! Well, this is my first attempt at one and I was on the air when I did it. It's not perfect. But can you give points for trying, okay? Thanks!!
It's ABC's turn at the Upfronts to premiere its newest offerings, and while earlier today we caught the full schedule for Fall 2014, the network has now premiered first looks at all trailers for its newest programming. Get a first look at Karen Gillan's 'My Fair Lady'-esque 'Selfie,' John Ridley's 'American Crime,' Spielberg alien drama 'The Whispers,' and even an update on Marvel's forthcoming 'Agent Carter' right here!
ABC has become the next in line to divulge their fall 2014 schedules in advance of the Upfront presentation this week, and while the list leaves off any major surprises, Marvel fans would do well to learn that new series 'Agent Carter' will indeed serve as a smaller series bridge between the first and second half of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 2.
While we're more concerned with ABC's renewal of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' and an official series order for 'Agent Carter,' the network had plenty more to offer in advance of its Upfront presentation next week. Not only will such staples as 'Modern Family' and 'Scandal' return, but freshman comedy 'The Goldbergs' has officially earned an additional season, in addition to such pilots as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Karen Gillan's 'Selfie.'
A 17 year old wanted to be clever and take a selfie with a squirrel in a park in Palm Harbor, Florida. I mean the squirrel looked friendly just sitting there on the railing looking in all its glory. Brian Genest from Auburn, Maine was able to get close enough to snap the selfie. That's when things went awry.
Just when you thought 'Selfie-gate' was over, 'Saturday Night Live' and the Weekend Update last night (April 12) gave their take on the David Ortiz and President Obama selfie controversy. Watch Kenan Thompson do a great impression of the Boston Red Sox designated hitter and all his 'new' endorsement deals.
David Ortiz, Big Papi, with the rest of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox yesterday (April 1) visited President Obama at the White House. He also stole the show when he asked the president to take a selfie with him. It seemed like just a wonderful, spontaneous moment. Not quite...

Reading the John Updike stories: 'Walter Briggs'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In Updike's slight story "Walter Briggs," the young married couple Jack and Claire are driving back from a thing in Boston with their two droopy little kids in their car. They're passing time in the enforced setting, as these young Updike couples of the late '50s seem to do, with a verbal game: "Who's Best?," riffing on people from their past. »Read Full Blog Post

not that good
Nail'd is a decent game in a field of excellent competitors. The game itself is fun in the beginning but starts to wear thin a little quicker than most. After about 20 minutes of game play, you start to notice all the missing polish on both the audio & graphical side of things. I had an extremely bad problem with textures and audio cut outs.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered Palestinian Authority (PA ) President Mahmoud Abbas a detailed proposal for a future Palestinian state.
According to an aide in Olmert's office, the proposal included a map delineating proposed borders for two states.
Olmert wants to reach an agreement during his remaining time in office, however long that may be. He said he will resign when a new Kadima chairman is elected in September or if he is indicted on any of the criminal cases under investigation.
Olmert proposes an Israeli withdrawal from 93 percent of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), which includes alternative land in the Negev for the percentage that would remain Israeli.
The plan proposes that Israel retain the city of Ma'ale Adumim, the Gush Etzion communities and outlying Jerusalem neighborhoods.
According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, new construction in Ariel and Efrat, approved by Olmert and his Defense Minister Ehud Barak, indicates they would like to hold on to these two cities.
Haaretz writes that Olmert intends to present his plan in stages to the Israeli public, noting that to keep the ultra-Orthodox Shas party from leaving the government, the status of Jerusalem will be postponed for now.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit the region next week to assess the plan's progress.

Shortly before 1:00 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 2100 block of Birch Avenue. When they got there, officer's found three chunks of concrete placed on top of a small object wrapped in black electrical tape. After securing the area they called the Spokane County Sheriff's Department's explosives disposal unit.
"They dispatched a team who came down and they were able to disassemble the item, which did in fact contain gun powder and appeared to be a homemade improvised explosive device," said Lewiston Police Dept. Deputy Chief Roger Lanier.
There's very little physical evidence that law enforcement has to go on, so if you know anything about this incident, Lewiston police would like for you to call them at 746-0171. This is the second time the Spokane Bomb Disposal Unit has been in the L-C Valley in less than a week.

It's super easy to lose track of how much money we spend especially on things like water, electricity, gas and other utilities. These bills quickly add up each month. Reducing your usage doesn't have to be a huge pain. You can make subtle changes like substituting your A/C for a fan, changing your water faucets to more energy efficient ones, lowering your light wattage and correctly insulating your home to avoid high heating bills. When you're hit with an extremely high utility bill or any unexpected expense try our instant payday loans to protect your family's finances.

Before applying for an online loan, ask your family and friends for a loan. Often, friends and family won't charge an interest rate so this method will save you cash.

APR: Representative APRs range from 200% and 1386%. The Annual Percentage Rate is the rate at which your loan accrues interest and is based upon various factors, including, without limitation, the amount and cost of your loan, the term, repayment amounts and timing of payments. The range of values displayed represents the entire range of APRs associated with loans offered by our participating lenders. Some states have laws limiting the APR that the lender can charge you. However loans from a state with no such limiting laws, or loans from a bank not governed by state laws may have even higher APRs. Only your lender can provide you with information about your specific loan terms, their current rates and charges, renewal, payments and the implications for non-payment or skipped payments. By law, the lender must show you the APR before you enter into the loan. Please be sure your lender gives you the APR along with the other terms of your loan before you sign their agreement.

Loans provided by participating lenders in our network are designed to provide cash to you to be repaid within a short amount of time. These types of loans are not a solution for long-term debt or credit difficulties. Never borrow an amount that cannot be repaid on your next pay period date.

Implications of Non Payment If you do not repay your entire loan on or before the loan due date, the loan will be considered "non-payed" and will be subject to a fee of $47.50. Your bank or financial institution may also charge you an NSF (non sufficient funds) fee. In addition, interest will accrue on any unpaid balance at a rate of 59% per annum. So as to avoid the overdue fee and overdue interest, please ensure that you have sufficient funds in your bank account on your loan payment due date.

We only use reputable collection agencies that comply with all prevailing best and lawful collections practices. Any customer who does not repay his or her loan in full by the loan's due date will be considered delinquent and the loan will be classified as non-payed. In such cases, the customer's file will be sent to a third party collection agency and customer will have this default reported to a credit agency. The customer's credit rating may be negatively impacted.
Renewal Policies and Practices: You may renew your loan once a month. Renewals are issued based on previous repayment history.
