Sponsorship includes the donation of Panasonic WhisperGreen and EcoVent Ventilation Fans
Newark, NJ (June 3, 2014) – Panasonic Eco Solutions is joining building industry professionals in 35 states and more than 80 communities across the U.S. as a sponsor of Habitat for Humanity's Home Builders Blitz to build, renovate and repair more than 250 homes. Panasonic Eco Solutions is providing WhisperGreen and EcoVent Fans for 300 total homes to be built during the Habitat for Humanity Builders Blitz week-long event, June 9-13.
The WhisperGreen ENERGY STAR® rated fans feature a DC motor with built-in intelligence called SmartFlow™ Optimum CFM Technology. When a WhisperGreen fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired airflow (CFM) is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated.
EcoVent is an ENERGY STAR® rated vent fan that incorporates a Veri-Boost™ feature to ensure that designed airflow is achieved to help meet ASHRAE 62.2, ENERGY STAR 3.0 for Homes, LEED for Homes, CA Title 24, CalGreen and most green building programs.
"Panasonic Eco Solutions is delighted to donate 600 fans to Habitat for Humanity, in support of the company's commitment to building a world where everyone has a safe and healthy place to live," said Patricia Monks, Product Manager, Panasonic Eco Solutions North America. "Panasonic Eco Solutions is devoted to providing energy-efficiency solutions to all consumers, and is happy to partner with Habitat for Humanity on their affordable housing efforts."
Home Builders Blitz 2014 is a partnership between Habitat for Humanity and the building industry to build homes across the nation. Builders and Habitat affiliates work closely to organize all aspects of building, including securing subcontractors and suppliers, fundraising and seeking donations of materials. Builders participating in the program this year will work with more than 80 Habitat affiliates.
Helping launch the event from Jacksonville, Fla., Steve Thomas, Emmy Award-winning former host of "This Old House" and "Renovation Nation," will help raise awareness of the event, traveling to Habitat's Home Builders Blitz work sites to discuss how building professionals are taking an active role in helping to address the affordable housing needs of their communities.
Habitat launched its first national Home Builders Blitz week in 2006, four years after Habitat for Humanity Wake County (North Carolina) and local builder Tom Gipson recruited 12 home builders to donate their time to each build a house in five days. National blitz builds with professional builders were also held in 2008 and 2012. To date, more than 1,000 homes have been built, renovated or repaired under the initiative.

Recently there's been some low-level agitation in the news about a Treasury bond bubble as investors continue flock to safe investments.
In my last post I mentioned the Wall Street Journal article "The Great American Bond Bubble," but not everyone agrees with the authors', Jeremy Siegel and Jeremy Schwartz, basic premise that pessimistic investors are inflating a bond bubble with their fears and that value stocks may be a better pick for income and inflation protection.
A column by Walter Updegrave on CNNMoney.com persuasively argues that bond bubble fears may be nothing more than hot air. He doesn't actually say that but I couldn't resist the pun.
The article answers the question posed in the title, "Will the next pop be the bond bubble bursting?"
Answer: Probably not but no one really knows what rates will do. Keep your bond portfolio diversified and avoid long-term bonds. The value of long-term bonds will be more affected by rate increases.
Donald Cummings Jr., managing partner at Blue Haven Capital in Geneva, Ill. has a similar viewpoint.
"I think that when the economy gets going, interest rates have a ways to move back up. But, boy, it's going to be a while before the economy gets going," he says.
"If a person had a 10-year Treasury bond in a 60 percent-bond, 40 percent-equity portfolio, and Treasuries fall 10 or 12 percent in a few years when rates go up -- I think they're going to far outperform that in equities," says Cummings.
When the equity portion of your portfolio does well, the fixed-income side could be struggling and vice versa. That's why investment professionals recommend a mix of non-correlating asset classes.
Bond bubble or not, keeping a diversified portfolio will mitigate the impact asset class bubbles and bursts have on your portfolio. Read this Bankrate story for more on asset allocation and building a diversified portfolio.
Cummings doesn't recommend going too far out on the yield curve but he's not avoiding Treasury bonds either.
"I sure wouldn't be buying 30-year paper right now. There are alternatives to Treasuries but they are not bad anyway," he says.
If you're nervous about a bond bubble implosion, your fears may be over-inflated.
Does media coverage of financial issues affect your investment strategy or do you stick with your plan no matter what?

After months of speculation, Universal Orlando has finally announced they are expanding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter into Universal Studios.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – 'London' & Diagon Alley is scheduled to open in 2014!
From a Universal Orlando Press Release:
"[...the] world's first centrally themed, multi-park experience expands The Wizarding World of Harry Potter across both Universal Orlando theme parks and allows Universal's creative team to bring an unparalleled vision to this unique project. The new area will bring to life some of the experiences and places found in and around London in the Harry Potter books and films, offering brand-new adventures for fans and theme park guests from around the world.
Diagon Alley and 'London' will be located within the Universal Studios Florida theme park, which is adjacent to Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park, where guests now experience Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.

No matter where she went on Friday, everyone wanted a piece of the teenager who is already being called 'Queen Yuna'.
Little girls wanted her autograph, men wanted a picture with her, women wanted to shake her hand and hundreds of reporters swarmed around her like bees to honey, hanging on to her every word -- even if she did not have much to say.
"Even before the Olympics, everyone in Korea knew who I am so I don't think it's going to make that much of a difference," the softly spoken Kim said.
Her Canadian coach Brian Orser clearly did not agree. A week after declaring that being with Kim was "like travelling around with Princess Diana", he struggled to find the words to sum up what her return to Korea would be like and shaking his head, he said "Oh my god".
After a very long pause he added: "It's going to be interesting going to Korea as they just adore her."
On the ice, Kim comes across as a goddess among mere mortals, driving home the gulf in class by a huge 23-point winning margin over her rivals in Vancouver.
Off the ice, she almost seems younger than her 19 years. After endless rounds of interviews, she skipped into the room occupied by just a few of her handlers and examined the table full of food before selecting a thin slice of chocolate cake.
She opened her arms wide when five-times world champion Michelle Kwan popped in to give her a congratulatory embrace and giggled throughout their short exchange.
For an instant, it seemed as if she had forgotten that she was the Olympic champion as she seemed star-struck by the whole episode.
However, when reminded of her achievement, she was still stunned.
She scored a record 78.50 points for her short program, a record 150.06 for the free skate and a combined total of 228.56 points -- shattering her previous world record by more than 18 points.
Her closest rival Mao Asada became the first woman to pull off two triple Axels in an Olympic program but was no match for the champion.
"It's not just the score, I'm just really satisfied that I produced my best ever performance at the Olympics with so many record scores," said Kim, wearing an official Korean jacket.
"I still can't believe that I earned the kind of scores usually reserved for male competitors. I was in great shock about my score, and in fact I still am as it's hard to believe."
That score would have placed her ninth in the men's event and had she competed for another 30 seconds as they do, adding in a 13th element, her score would have bumped her up even higher.
The scenario even brought up the question how she would fare if she had in fact taken a page out of golfer Michelle Wie's book and competed against the men.
"The components in a performance are different for the men. I don't know how well I would do if I did compete with the men but I'm surprised that such a scenario is even being discussed," she said, dissolving into giggles.
For now, she plans to defend her world title in Turin next month and Orser also hopes she will stick around for a while as he wants her to learn some more tricks.
"I'd love her to learn the triple Axel, that would be pretty sweet. But I haven't told her that yet," he conspired.
With all the pressure that had built up around her, he was also thankful that she will never have to find out what life would have been like if the unthinkable had happened and she had not won gold.
"They (Koreans) put a lot of pressure on her. They expect her to skate well and the consequences I think would be just too much for her to bear (had she not won gold). I don't think they are as forgiving as we would have hoped they'd be," he said.
For now though, he was happy for his young charge to bask in her moment of glory.
"When I was a child, I never thought getting an Olympic gold would be possible for me. But as I continued training, I saw some possibility of achieving that goal," she said, looking very sprightly despite getting only four hours sleep.
"Now that it's all over, looking back it seems like it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I now believe I was born for this and winning this gold medal was my destiny."

Nine jurors in the Federal Court of the Northern District of Southern California handed Apple Inc. a big victory against Samsung Electronics Co. The jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages, found all seven of Apple's patents valid, found Samsung infringed six of Apple's patents, and found Apple to not infringe any of Samsung's five patents.
There are five big winners from this verdict.
Apple is obviously the big winner. It is not the $1.05 billion damage award, but the ammunition that the verdict provides Apple to keep its competitors at bay.
The verdict will help Apple AAPL, -0.17% strengthen its brand, raise the cost for competitors, and make the moat around Apple products deeper and wider.
Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.49% is about to introduce Windows Phone 8 operating system. For details please see Microsoft and Nokia could pre-empt Apple.
Although Apple did not directly litigate against Google Inc. GOOG, +0.20% the real case was against Google Android. Now that it is clear that certain parts of Google Android infringe Apple's patents, phone manufacturers are likely to be more receptive to Microsoft Windows Phone 8 operating system.
Nokia Corp. NOK, -0.31% has tied its fortune to Microsoft Windows phone operating system. Nokia phones look and feel different than Apple iPhone. Nokia does not infringe Apple patents. The verdict gives Nokia a leg up on Android phones.
Research In Motion
Research In Motion RIMM has been left for dead. Now that Android is damaged goods, it opens up two potential opportunities for RIM. First, post-verdict RIM has become a more attractive takeover candidate than before the verdict. Second, now RIM may find more opportunities to license its technology.
On the surface it seems counter intuitive that Samsung (005930) is a winner. However a little digging below the surface shows that Samsung has become a dominant player in the mobile phone market in part by copying Apple. It appears that the new products from Samsung, for the most part do not infringe Apple patents and where they infringe Samsung can easily get around them. The point is that Samsung became a key player and if the cost is a billion dollars, it is a small price compared to the $12 billion profits Samsung generated last year.
The verdict is only one of the many factors that investors should consider before making investment related decisions about the five stocks mentioned above. Investors are well advised to utilize a system such as ZYX Change Method that has a proven track record of consistently generating profits in technology stocks under both bull and bear market conditions.
Full disclosure: Subscribers to The Arora Report are long Apple from $131 and have taken partial profits at $360, $525 and $629. Subscribers are also long Nokia.

Identifying a central theme among this year's cookbooks was easier than picking a ripe banana. The best and brightest recipe collections are ones that celebrate a specific way of cooking or a class of ingredients.
For us, vegetable-based cookbooks edged out the year's meat-minded tomes; we were drawn to the glorification of seasonal produce.
Gift givers will be glad to hear that, with a few exceptions, works of modest size and price tag are the norm.
The Middle East continues to pique our interest in ethnic cuisine. And some very fine food blogs yielded fine cookbooks.
Here are our picks, listed alphabetically within categories.
Bonnie S. Benwick and Jane Touszalin,
The Washington Post
Top Ten
'Canal House Cooks Every Day'
By Christopher Hershimer and Melissa Hamilton
(Andrews McMeel)
The meals these business partners (and food experts) made and shared at work evolved into a thick compilation of recipes you'll want to make - often. Rich Ragu Bolognese is an indulgent pleasure.
'Gran Cocina Latina'
By Maricel E. Presilla (W.W. Norton)
Impressive in scope and depth of research, this volume delineates Latin American cuisines with history, and by ingredients. The tradeoff of no photos vs. insightful essays and 500-plus recipes seems more than fair. Helpful "What to Drink" suggestions are included.
By Michael Natkin (Harvard Common Press)
If we had to choose one book to cook from in 2012, this would be it. The vegetarian blog of the same name has produced a recipe collection that draws on many cultures. The author's talent for tweaking flavor combinations elevates standard dishes and condiments. His shiitake tacos with asian pear slaw make a fine dinner in minutes.
'Jerusalem: A Cookbook'
By Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi (Ten Speed Press)
The Israeli city imprinted their food, the authors say, but their recipes reflect a broad range of Middle Eastern influence. The dishes are beautiful. This book's all the motivation you need to put barberries, sumac, pomegranate molasses and fenugreek seed in your pantry. Worth a look: Shrimp and scallops with tomato and feta.
'Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking'
By Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart (Gibbs Smith)
If anyone can do for Southern food what Julia Child did for French, it's the estimable Dupree. Recipes for Southern mainstays come with a storehouse of tips: how to cook a country ham, how to kill a trout, how onions can save a marriage. We liked fig and pecan tapenade with goat cheese frozen fruit salad and white fruitcake.
By Pat Crocker (William Morrow)
This is a big, beautiful bargain of a book that is almost a solo effort by the author - including the photography. Keep curried summer stone fruit in mind for after Memorial Day.
'Pure Vegan'
By Joseph Shuldiner (Chronicle)
The food is elegant, the photos are striking and the lifestyle proselytizing is absent. Shuldiner is a graphic designer and his book is intelligently organized with the cook in mind. Jicama salad is simple and flavorful.
By Diane Morgan (Chronicle)
Root vegetables are treated with respect, and photographed to stunning effect. The author spent more than two years researching, writing and developing recipes; her work is our reward. Try her salsify provencal.
'Slow Cooking'
By Antony Worrall Thompson
(Mitchell Beazley)
A chef's skill set is applied to the humble appliance, and some recipes push beyond the dump-and-wait routine. Most helpful: a chart that converts oven and stove-top cooking times. Check out spicy braised eggplant with prunes; pork, apple and lemon-thyme meatballs.
'The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook'
By Deb Perelman (Knopf)
Here's another fine example of blog-to-cookbook success. It's a fun, empowering read with recipes that beckon. Her linguine with cauliflower pesto is a quick and popular meal.

text: Why it's done By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Situations that may call for a tracheostomy include: Medical conditions that require the use of a breathing machine (ventilator) for an extended period, usually more than one or two weeks Medical conditions that block or narrow your airway, such as vocal cord paralysis or throat cancer Paralysis, neurological problems or other conditions that make it difficult to cough up secretions from your throat and require direct suctioning of the windpipe (trachea) to clear your airway Preparation for major head or neck surgery to assist breathing during recovery Severe trauma to the head or neck that obstructs breathing Other emergency situations when breathing is obstructed and emergency personnel can't put a breathing tube through your mouth and into your trachea Emergency care Most tracheotomies are performed in a hospital setting. However, in the case of an emergency, it may be necessary to create a hole in a person's throat when outside of a hospital, such as at the scene of an accident. Emergency tracheotomies are difficult to perform and have an increased risk of complications. A related and somewhat less risky procedure used in emergency care is a cricothyrotomy. This procedure creates a hole directly into the voice box (larynx) at a site immediately below the Adam's apple (thyroid cartilage). Once a person is transferred to a hospital and stabilized, a cricothyrotomy is replaced by a tracheostomy if there's a need for long-term breathing assistance.

Be a Wise Healthcare Consumer and Save
by Rebecca McCoy
Healthcare costs are rising. Unfortunately, it's not something you can usually cut from your budget. But how many times have you gone to see your healthcare provider about an ailment only to learn it's nothing? Or worse, how many times have you gone to see your healthcare provider about an unresolved issue and gotten nowhere? Either way, you're spending money, out of pocket or in co-pays. One thing you can do to help reduce these costs is to educate yourself about personal health issues. By becoming a wise healthcare consumer, you can reduce unnecessary health care visits, improve communication with your health care provider, and make fully informed decisions about treatment. This all leads to less spending on personal healthcare and the beneficial side effect of better care for you and your family.
Since healthcare isn't free, how about getting reliable health information for free? You're in luck. You don't have to spend money on medical school tuition to educate yourself. There are a variety of health-related resources you can use and they're all available to the public at no cost.
- Hospital or health center libraries. If there is a local community hospital or health center that you use, check to see if it has a medical library. Medical libraries are usually open to patients and their family members. Many of these libraries have collections of books as well as pamphlets or handouts on a variety of health-related topics. Depending on the library, you may be able to check out material. If you are interested in reading clinical and technical information, this is also one of the best places to go. Specially trained medical librarians can also be an excellent resource for finding medical information.
- Public libraries. You don't have to go to a special medical library to find good health information. Most public libraries have started consumer health sections because more and more people want the information. The section may include books, videotapes, audiotapes, and magazines. Ask at your local library about a consumer health section. Public libraries may also have two other useful resources. First, libraries sometimes hold talks or lectures for the community. Check to see if any of the scheduled talks are health-related. If not, talk to your local librarian. If enough people express interest in a certain topic, a speaker can be arranged. Second, public libraries have computers with Web access. There is an overabundance of health information on the Web. Much of it is out-of-date and incorrect, which can be dangerous to your health. The key is to make sure the information you read and use is reliable.
Reliable websites. To make sure that you're getting the best health information you can get on the Web, ask yourself some questions when looking at sites.
Who owns and runs the site? Is it a commercial organization trying to sell you something or is it a reliable professional organization or health system? (You'll note that government website addresses end in .gov and nonprofits end in .org). When was the website last updated? Is the information current or over five years old? Who is the audience? Is it meant for the average person or for health care professionals? Is the information accurate? Is it based on facts or opinion? Are references listed?
Good places to start looking for health information on the Web are government sources. You can search the following sites and the first two will display a collection of information from many sources.
- MedlinePlus (www.medlineplus.gov)
- Healthfinder (www.healthfinder.gov)
- Food and Drug Administration (www.fda.gov)
Another way to find reliable health information on the Web is to go directly to voluntary organization websites. There is an association for just about every health issue you can imagine. Below are just a few examples. You can certainly find others by using a good search engine or even the phone book. Many organizations have local offices where you may be able to get more information and tap into local resources and support groups.
- American Heart Association (www.americanheart.org)
- American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org)
- American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org)
- National Mental Health Association (www.nmha.org)
While you're on the Web, be on the look out for ways to get more information when you are not on the Web. For example, you may see that many organizations have toll-free numbers you can call for more information or for counseling. You can sometimes call and order single copies of health-related books or pamphlets for free.
Once you get going, you'll see how much information is out there. Just make sure it is safe and accurate. When it comes to your and your family's health, you don't have to settle. Obviously, saving money is not more important than your health. But, you can become active in your own healthcare, educate yourself, and avoid those unnecessary costs.

Black Beauty HTML version
19. Only Ignorance
I do not know how long I was ill. Mr. Bond, the horse-doctor, came every day. One day
he bled me; John held a pail for the blood. I felt very faint after it and thought I should
die, and I believe they all thought so too.
Ginger and Merrylegs had been moved into the other stable, so that I might be quiet, for
the fever made me very quick of hearing; any little noise seemed quite loud, and I could
tell every one's footstep going to and from the house. I knew all that was going on. One
night John had to give me a draught; Thomas Green came in to help him. After I had
taken it and John had made me as comfortable as he could, he said he should stay half an
hour to see how the medicine settled. Thomas said he would stay with him, so they went
and sat down on a bench that had been brought into Merrylegs' stall, and put down the
lantern at their feet, that I might not be disturbed with the light.
For awhile both men sat silent, and then Tom Green said in a low voice:
"I wish, John, you'd say a bit of a kind word to Joe. The boy is quite broken-hearted; he
can't eat his meals, and he can't smile. He says he knows it was all his fault, though he is
sure he did the best he knew, and he says if Beauty dies no one will ever speak to him
again. It goes to my heart to hear him. I think you might give him just a word; he is not a
bad boy."
After a short pause John said slowly, "You must not be too hard upon me, Tom. I know
he meant no harm, I never said he did; I know he is not a bad boy. But you see, I am sore
myself; that horse is the pride of my heart, to say nothing of his being such a favorite
with the master and mistress; and to think that his life may be flung away in this manner
is more than I can bear. But if you think I am hard on the boy I will try to give him a
good word to-morrow -- that is, I mean if Beauty is better."
"Well, John, thank you. I knew you did not wish to be too hard, and I am glad you see it
was only ignorance."
John's voice almost startled me as he answered:
"Only ignorance! only ignorance! how can you talk about only ignorance? Don't you
know that it is the worst thing in the world, next to wickedness? -- and which does the
most mischief heaven only knows. If people can say, `Oh! I did not know, I did not mean
any harm,' they think it is all right. I suppose Martha Mulwash did not mean to kill that
baby when she dosed it with Dalby and soothing syrups; but she did kill it, and was tried
for manslaughter."
"And serve her right, too," said Tom. "A woman should not undertake to nurse a tender
little child without knowing what is good and what is bad for it."
"Bill Starkey," continued John, "did not mean to frighten his brother into fits when he
dressed up like a ghost and ran after him in the moonlight; but he did; and that bright,
handsome little fellow, that might have been the pride of any mother's heart is just no
better than an idiot, and never will be, if he lives to be eighty years old. You were a good
deal cut up yourself, Tom, two weeks ago, when those young ladies left your hothouse

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of transdermal nicotine therapy for smoking cessation and suppression of withdrawal severity in conjunction with two different adjuvant counseling treatments. DESIGN: Two independent randomized placebo-controlled double-blind trials. SETTING: Smoking cessation clinic. SUBJECTS: Eighty-eight (study 1) and 112 (study 2) adult volunteers motivated to quit smoking. INTERVENTIONS: Eight weeks of 22-mg transdermal nicotine therapy with group counseling (study 1); 4 weeks of 22 mg followed by 2 weeks of 11-mg transdermal nicotine therapy with brief individual counseling (study 2). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Modified point prevalence (7 consecutive days of nonsmoking) at the end of patch treatment and 6 months after treatment initiation was assessed by self-report and biochemically confirmed; survival analyses were also conducted for both studies to compare treatment efficacy. Also, we examined the impact of the nicotine patch on specific withdrawal symptoms (anger, anxiety, awakening, difficulty concentrating, depression, hunger, impatience, and craving). RESULTS: Transdermal nicotine treatment produced higher cessation rates at the end of treatment than did placebo with both adjuvant counseling interventions: 59 percent vs 40 percent (p < 0.05 in study 1) and 37 percent vs 20 percent (p < 0.05 in study 2), respectively. Smoking cessation efficacy was maintained 6 months after initiation of treatment: 34 percent vs 21 percent (p = 0.08 in study 1) and 18 percent vs 7 percent (p = 0.05 in study 2). Survival analyses also revealed significant group differences in efficacy in both studies. Nicotine patches also suppressed a variety of withdrawal symptoms, including craving in the first weeks after patients quit smoking. CONCLUSION: Transdermal nicotine effectively augments smoking cessation rates with two different types of counseling treatment. Overall, the nicotine patch approximately doubles the sustained rate of smoking cessation. Additionally, the nicotine patch provides relief from some tobacco withdrawal symptoms.

"Confidenti@l has learned Wesley Snipes is set to reprise his lead role in "Blade," the 1998 vampire thriller that made more than $130 million and generated two sequels.
Sources close to Snipes tells us the 52-year-old actor's comeback after being released from prison in April 2013 (after serving two and a half years for tax evasion) is "looking good" and that he'll make $3 million from this film, plus a cut of the profits. Let's hope he remembers to pay Uncle Sam this time."
Here's a quote from an MTV interview with Wesley Snipes :
"I'd love to get back in the suit again and do some things I've learned how to do now that I didn't know how to do then. I think we're better at making that kind of a film now. Some of the things we did in the early parts of the franchise were experimental and now they've become customary in a lot of the 'Avengers' films and other comic book adaptations."
If there is a Blade 4 I'd say that a scene of him killing Twilight vampires is pretty much guaranteed. I do worry that they'd be tempted to water the movie down in the hopes of following in the footsteps of other pg13 comicbook movies which are undeniably successful however. Then again Wesley Snipes certainly knows how EX3 turned out by trying to go that route...
"In a high-profile deal for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin's zombie film Maggie, Lionsgate has scooped up North American rights to the movie on the eve of the Toronto Film Festival, where the film was set to make its world premiere.
As a result of the preemptive pact, the apocalyptic thriller will no longer make an appearance at the festival since Lionsgate is planning an early 2015 release for the film, directed by Henry Hobson from a Black List script by John Scott 3. (The Governator, who was looking forward to attending a festival, could still have his chance if Maggie makes a bid for Sundance in January)."
"McTiernan says he is being eyed to rewrite someone else's script and direct a film that is scheduled to begin in January. He's strongly considering it, but there's one thing he doesn't like about the project. "They are trying to put in Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it's a bad idea. I have to convince them not to."
Here's some information on another project McTiernan is working on with John Travolta:
"...According to McTiernan, Hannibal Pictures is handling the film (The company is an international sales agency that packages talent to sell to overseas distributors. An executive at the company confirmed it's indeed working on this project titled Warbirds, followed by another McTiernan project titled Red Squad.) Travolta has signed up for the lead, and McTiernan aims to begin shooting this autumn. As for other cast-members, offers have gone out to Queen Latifah and Johnny Knoxville, says the director. The paperwork isn't quite complete. "They offered a million so far, my agent is still hoping to get one million and a quarter," said McTiernan, before adding that when he was hot, he would command $8 million per picture.
Under cross-examination by the bank's lawyer, McTiernan was challenged about whether the Travolta film can really be counted upon. The director, who says he's been taking two-hour meetings every day on this project, said Hannibal hired his assistant director this week as well as people to scout airplanes. Then, there's CGI firms in Atlanta and Montreal being interviewed to handle the special effects that will cost $3-5 million since "it's sort of the dog-fighting movie of all time they couldn't make when they had the real airplanes because it's too damn dangerous."
Plus, it's John Travolta. "He's one of five or six guys... the old term is 'bankable,'" says McTiernan. "If they commit, the movie happens."

After a lull of a few years, Woodland's Shade Tree Plaza is filling up with anchor tenants -- and employment opportunities.
In-Shape Fitness opened Oct. 1 at 249 California St., filling the void of the vacant McMahan's Furniture, and Jan. 15 will mark the opening of Woodland's second Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, inside the former Rite Aid.
The Neighborhood Market at 215 California St., is about half the size of Woodland's other Neighborhood Market, located at County Fair Fashion Mall on East Gibson Road. The store opened in June, occupying the former Mervyn's which went bankrupt in 2009.
Around 95 new associates were hired for the California Street store beginning in September, which will focus on pharmacy, grocery and produce. Of those, 12 have already been promoted to hourly supervisors.
Staff began stocking the 35,000-square-foot store last week to prepare for its grand opening -- at which local schools will perform the National Anthem.
"The thing we implemented from the get-go is that we are one team," said Store Manager Carolina Pratt. "(The associates) are building the store. This store is a community store. It's a different kind of customer service because they can talk to the customers by name."
Pratt began her career with Wal-Mart 15 years ago as a temporary worker in Yuba City.
The first Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market in California opened at the end of July 2012 in Huntington Beach. The store also occupies a former Rite Aid that had been vacant for two years.
There are at least seven markets open in the Greater Sacramento region, including Carmichael, Elk Grove, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Roseville and Sacramento.
The Markets are a smaller version of Wal-Mart's Supercenters, about one quarter of the size.

When special investigator Ding Gou'er hears persistent rumors that there is cannibalism in the province called the Republic of Wine, he goes to learn the truth. Beginning at the Mount Luo Coal Mine, he meets Diamond Jin, legendary for his capacity to hold his liquor and fondness for young human flesh. A banquet is served during which the special investigator, by meal's end in an alcohol-induced stupor, loses all sense of reality. Interspersed are stories sent to Mo Yan himself by Li Yidou (aka Doctor of Liquor Studies), each one more mad than the next. Wild and politically explosive, The Republic of Wine proves that no regime can stifle creative imagination.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The Republic of Wine is a novel Joseph Heller might have written had he been Chinese. As it is, the honor goes to Mo Yan, one of China's most respected writers. Set in the fictional province of Liquorland, this tall tale begins with a rumor of cannibal feasts featuring children as the delectable main course. In response, Chinese officials send special investigator Ding Gou'er to look into the allegations. He arrives by coal truck at the Mount Lao Coal Mine, where he meets the legendary Diamond Jin, Vice-Minister of the Liquorland Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Bureau, a man known for an epic ability to hold his booze. Almost at once, Ding's worst fears seem to be realized when he is invited to a special dinner, given enough alcohol to stun an ox, and then served what appears to be "a golden, incredibly fragrant little boy." Horrified, he attempts to make an arrest and in the ensuing confusion, accidentally puts a bullet in the main course.
The braised boy was now a headless boy. The unsmashed parts of his skull had tumbled to the edge of the table's second tier, between a platter of sea cucumbers and another of braised shrimp, pieces of head like shattered watermelon rind, or pieces of watermelon rind like shattered head, watermelon juices dripping like blood, or blood dripping like watermelon juices, soiling the tablecloth and soiling the people's eyes. A pair of eyes like purple grapes or purple grapes like a pair of eyes rolled around on the floor, one skittering behind the liquor cabinet, the other rolling up to a red serving girl, who squashed it with her foot.Despite his hosts' explanation that the boy's arms are made of lotus root, his legs of ham sausage, and his head from a silver melon, Ding remains suspicious--until he is rendered so addled by wine that he ends up eating half an arm all on his own. As Ding continues his investigation, Mo Yan sends up the Chinese preoccupation with food, drink, and sex even as he daringly explores the nature of his country's political structure.
A lesser novelist might be satisfied with just this one narrative thread; Mo Yan, however, has bigger ambitions. In between chapters chronicling Ding Gou'er's adventures in Liquorland, the author has inserted letters and short stories purportedly sent to him by one Li Yidou, a doctoral candidate in Liquor Studies at the Brewer's College in Liquorland, and an aspiring author in his own right. The correspondence between fictional character and author allows Mo Yan to wax satirical on the subject of art, politics, and the troubling point where the two intersect in a Socialist society: "One of the tenets of the communism envisioned by Marx," the hopeful Yidou writes, "was the integration of art with the working people and of the working people with art. So when communism has been realized, everyone will be a novelist." In such a society everyone might write novels, perhaps; but as The Republic of Wine masterfully demonstrates, only a first-rate artist like Mo Yan could pull off such a subversive and darkly comic metafiction so seamlessly. --Alix WilberAbout the Author:
Mo Yan was born in 1952 to a peasant family in Shandong. Despite the audacity of his writing, he has won virtually every national literary prize, including most recently China's Annual Writer's Prize, its most prestigious award. In 2002, Arcade will publish his novel Big Breasts and Wide Hips.

The conservative anti-Obama documentary "2016: Obama's America" performed well in its opening weekend, taking in $2.2 million to make it the top-grossing documentary film of the year and putting it in the eighth spot for the weekend.
So what exactly is the movie about?
Here's The Huffington Post's take:
"2016: Obama's America" is based on Indian-American conservative author Dinesh D'Souza's book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage." (D'Souza also co-directed with John Sullivan, and narrates the majority of the film). A poster for the movie shows a profile of President Obama cast against a hazy gray fog with the tag line, "Love Him, Hate Him, You Don't Know Him."
And this is how Gawker described it:
Judging from the trailer, which comes complete with a terrific spy-movie techno-"Middle Eastern music" soundtrack, here are some of its themes:
—Barack Obama is a Bad Man
—He is from Africa
—He hates America
—Black people love to play Monopoly and fight with each other
That is Obama's America, in 2016: fighting colonialism by playing Monopoly. Scary.
One thing the documentary is not about, however, is birtherism.
As Slate's Dave Weigel, who reviewed (i.e., actually watched) the film last month wrote:
Twenty minutes into a new conservative documentary about Barack Obama, there's a moment that'll break a birther's heart. Dinesh D'Souza, the star and narrator of 2016: Obama's America, is telling the brief, encyclopedia-entry version of the president's life. The camera zooms over a map like one of the travel scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark—Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii.
"On August 4, 1961," says D'Souza, "Barack Obama II is born in the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu. His birth is recorded in two local newspapers."
... There are no conspiracy theories about Obama's birth, religion, Social Security number, passport, or college transcript. Instead, there is a deep dive into Barack Obama's known Communist associates, his late father's avowed socialism, and his mother's radicalism.

text: Margaret Mead is a specialist in what she herself describes as "conditioning of the social personalities of both sexes." Her mother, a pioneer in child psychology, taught her to take notes on the behavior of younger children before she was eight years old. Her first field work, in the Samoan Islands, was undertaken in 1925-26. In 1925, too, Miss Mead obtained a National Research Council fellowship and an appointment as associate at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. On her return to the United States in 1926, Miss Mead was appointed assistant curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History. She has been attached to the museum ever since, becoming an associate curator in 1942. A second field work, the Manus Tribe of the Admiralty Islands in the West Pacific Ocean, was made possible by a Social Science Research Council Fellowship in 1928-29. In 1930, Dr. Mead began her third field trip, this time to study an American Indian Tribe the identity of which is concealed by the name of "the Antlers" in her book reporting her findings and conclusions. Between 1931 and 1933, Dr. Mead was again in the New Guinea area investigating three contrasted tribes, the Arapesh, the Mundugumor, and the Tchambuli; her part in the work was financed by the Voss Research Fund of the American Museum of Natural History. For three years, starting in 1936, Dr. Mead was engaged in field work in Bali and New Guinea. Then, in 1939, Dr. Mead began two years as a visiting lecturer at Vassar College. Dr. Mead during World War II wrote pamphlets and interpreted American GI's to the British. She also served as executive secretary of the Committee on Food Habits, the National Research Council, from 1942-45. She was a visiting lecturer at Teachers College from 1947-51 and has served as consultant on mental health, as a member of the Committee on Research of the Mental Health Division of the National Advisory Mental Health Council of the United States Public Health Service, and as a member of the interim governing board of the International Mental Health Congress. She was also secretary of the Institute for Intercultural Studies, a member of the American Anthropological Society, the American Ethnological Society, the Society of Applied Anthropology of which she was president in 1949, the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Science and a number of other science bodies, as well as of the American Association of American Women and the Society for Women Geographers, which awarded her a gold medal in 1942. She is a fellow of the American Society for Orthopsychiatry, and in 1951 served as vice-president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Council of Learned Societies. Today, Dr. Mead is Curator Emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History but remains active as a participant in scientific meetings and similar activities. She always found her profession so diversified that she has not felt need for a hobby; she reportedly enjoys the theater and reads good poetry.

text: I'm a cheapskate sometimes and after having super expensive systems in my vehicles for many years, I now just want something noticably better than my stock setup, but I also don't want to spend more than about $400. I've been talking to Crutchfield and Car Toys. What I have decided is that I'd like to install the following. Focal Access 165A1 component speakers with crossover in the front Alpine KTP-445U inline amp I can buy both of these for about $280. I may add some Focal IC 165 for another $120 for the rear doors. That would be ideal. The biggest question, or should I say stumbling block for me, is installation. I have no problem getting door panels off, and if I have to modify the A-pillar speaker cover to accommodate the tweeter, I don't mind. But dealing with the crossovers and inline Alpine amp . . . well, I'm not sure if it will become a problem. For instance, the instructions I have been able to find, simply warn that the inline amp may have to be wired to the battery in certain situations. I have no idea how the current speakers are wired up to the head unit (which I'm keeping stock for now). And I know I can put the crossovers inside the door panel in the square hole above the speakers. But to take advantage of changing crossover settings, I wonder if it's better to install in view, under the dash?? Anyone with experience and knowledge on this, who can educate me on what to expect, and more importantly, help me decide if I should even do it myself . . . that would be fantastic!

I have come across a number of links but it seems they either require scientific scales for the quantities to be accurate ( which I would rather not spend to come up with the teaspoon or so of actual solution) or they are amped up so that I am not measuring in tenths of a gram....but they are for very large ( it seems) quantities. Any help or suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated.

Aug 21, 2013 - By The Dallas Morning NewsMexican President Enrique Pena Nieto still needs to fill in details about his intriguing proposal to open up more of Mexico's energy industry to foreign investment. The fine points will determine whether the plan he announced last week will indeed attract outside capital.
But based upon early reports, the new leader's ideas for reforming an industry that Mexico long ago nationalized are significant.
First, a substantial opening of the nation's energy operations could flow more capital into Mexico so it could produce more of its undeveloped reserves. The production would almost surely translate into an uptick in Mexico's economy. In turn, that would help the United States. A more stable Mexico means a more stable border.
Second, allowing foreign investors to produce Mexican oil reserves would give U.S. firms greater access to a nearby market. Foreign firms have some rights there already, but they are limited. As a result, energy companies in the U.S. largely have chosen not to work with Pemex, Mexico's state-owned oil company.
Pena Nieto's plan won't give American companies total access to Mexico's reserves. American companies couldn't own the reserves, as foreign energy companies can do in the U.S. But international companies could start drilling more in Mexico. And they could participate in profit-sharing contracts, much as foreign companies do in places like Ecuador, Iraq and Malaysia.
If successful, a profit-sharing arrangement could boost the U.S. energy industry, which includes many Texas companies. U.S. firms particularly have the expertise in drilling for shale gas reserves that Mexico lacks.
Third, greater energy production in Mexico would open up greater supplies of oil close to the United States. Even if oil flows through world markets, it is nice to have the potential of a stable source of energy in this hemisphere. Mexico reportedly has as much as 30 billion barrels of oil and gas offshore that awaits production
Fourth, the fact that Pena Nieto is making this move is eye-catching. As the leader of the PRI, he comes from the political party that once controlled Pemex. Now, he is proposing to open up that very operation. If the details get worked out correctly, this would be a Nixon-goes-to-China move on his part.
Of course, there are many moving parts in this plan. That's why former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza rightly urges both optimism and caution. Many regulatory details need working out. They will determine how interested companies in Texas and elsewhere are in expanding operations in Mexico.
Still, Pena Nieto's step toward economic liberalization is encouraging. We hope it opens a path of pursuit for energy companies in Texas and beyond.

Hi Diary.......this summer is sure turning out to be an education for me.......brother and I met this new friend last week......big fat toad..well Freddie caught it and he started foaming at the mouth.....mom hauled us in the house.....washed his mouth out... it was yucko. Lucky they weren't posionus toads......Marine Toads and Colorado River Toads are deadly, so please mom says don't play with the toads/ Well we don't catch on real good, cause tonight several small and medium size toads in the back yard...and we pawed them...rolled on them....trapped them....but didn't mouth them... Mom had a fit...she made us come in......just ruined our fun.
Then last Monday she and Dad bought us a wading pool.....we are really having a great old time with it. Then yesterday morning went out, and under the bushes where Mom had dumped the water, made easy to dig mud. I had so much fun.....Mom said oh my goodness.....look at you Libby Lou......there wasn't any where that wasn't muddy except my lower back and tail....you could verily see my eyes.....So I got a bath first thing in the day.....Freddie just had his feet dirty........but he got his bath also.
We are hoping to go camping someday soon.....but don't know for sure, might wait till fall and hope it cools off some....we love to go to the new walking trail they made , and see all the people. Got to go shopping with the folks this morning.......we stay pretty busy. Been trying to mind the folks more it is hard but mom says we are doing better all the time. Can walk from the car now to the house, without them hanging on our leash.......that is unless a cat comes along...Then I forget and run after it.....sorry just can't help it. Well will talk to you later.......have a good summer diary. Libby Lou
Well in Nov. mom said she though I was almost 6 pounds.......well the doctor said yester day before surgery I was only 5 pounds 3 ounces....so this is end of January........so I think she guessed wrong. I am going to be a little tyke.....I will be 8 months old the 24th..........Libby Lou
I went into the animal hospital yesterday....and they altered me, and pulled some baby teeth, and micro chipped me. Mom stayed till I was out of surgery, they couldn't run her off...she said no I am staying till I know she is ok....I was so happy she said that...but I didn't remember after a while. But she came this morning and brought me home. Freddie and I want to play, but mom won't let us do anything accept sit on her lap to visit. But it hurts a little once in awhile when I move wrong. So Mom says later we can play again.......he sure missed me last night mom says..he was lost. I still need to sleep a little more today than usual. Mom was so happy it was over....I am so happy for her...she doesn't feel like this.......Libby Lou

An attack on a prominent Sumner County lawyer early Sunday has resulted in the arrest of a 33-year-old Wellington man.
Charles L. Kitch Jr. was booked into jail on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated burglary, criminal damage to property and criminal trespass. His bond was set at $100,000.
Kitch is accused of entering the Wellington home of 72-year-old Jack Potucek and striking him with an object. Potucek is a well-known local attorney and serves as legal counsel to the Sumner County commission.
Potucek is recovering at his home.
The attack is said to have happened at Potuceks residence in the 1000 block of N. Washington, around 8 a.m. The alleged victim became aware of the suspect, who was in a rear enclosed-porch area of the home.
When Potucek opened the door, he was struck by the assailant, who had an object in his hand. The men ended up outside in the backyard of the home, where Potucek was able to get the attention of a neighbor who called 911.
Police continue to investigative a motive in the attack, which is believed to have been unprovoked, Wellington police chief Tracy Heath told Sumner NewsCow Monday.
Potucek was treated and released from the hospital the day of the attack.

Calculating Poker Odds
If poker is a game you play frequently, you have probably considered the importance of calculating poker odds. This can not only help you become a better player due to your understanding of the game, but it can also help you plan your strategy when playing a hand. The more you play poker, the more important it is to know where you might stand in every hand. What sets apart skilled poker players from novices is their ability to calculate the odds of each hand.
The first step to calculating poker odds is to understand the various combinations of hands and how they rank. Once you have accomplished this, you will be able to know your chances of getting a particular hand and what that hand will likely mean for your overall game.
The second step to calculating hand odds is to determine how many cards are left in the deck, and how many will complete your current hand. Doing this quickly will take practice, but the more experience you have, the faster the process will become. Practice calculating poker odds at Sportsbook.com Poker for free. The number of cards left in the deck is very simple. It starts with 52 cards, only the cards for which you know the value are to be considered removed from it. The complicated part is trying to determine what cards your opponents actually hold.
The cards that are not visible to you are called pocket cards. This means their value is only known by the person holding them. Because you will not know the values of the pocket cards of your opponents, you must assume they are all available in order to actually statistically figure the odds.
The cards that will complete your hand are called outs. Figuring this number and their values is actually very simple as well. If you know what cards are included in a deck, and understand the various types of hands and what they include, you will be able to use deductive reasoning to figure this statistic.
By knowing what you have, and then figuring what you would need, you can assess what is left in the deck in order to also figure out what is missing. That way, you will have a clear idea of whether or not you can complete that hand.
As stated above, the more you do this, the quicker the entire process will become. You will also gain a better understanding of the game by calculating poker odds. This will not only make you a better poker player all around, but will also help you to better understand your opponents. You may find that it even increases your chances of winning in the long run so checkout Sportsbook.com Poker. See you at the tables.

In-app purchases accounted for a new high of 76% of revenue in the Apple App Store for iPhone in February 2013, up from 53% in January of last year, according to [download page] a new report from Distimo. Breaking that down further, the study shows that 71% of revenue came from in-app purchases from free apps, while in-app purchases from paid apps generated another 5% share.
Examining the top 250 grossing iPhone applications in February 2013 released since January 2012, the study reveals that average revenue per download is actually higher for the small amount of paid applications ($2.25) than for the free apps ($0.93). So it appears that the large share of revenues generated by in-app purchases from free apps owes itself more to quantity than monetization. In fact, of the 250 top grossing applications, just 27 were paid only. (That in itself is an indication of the power of the freemium model, though: the vast majority of top grossing apps are freemium rather than paid apps.)
About the Data: All numbers in the report are based on Distimo AppIQ data, which allows users to view estimated revenues and downloads for every app in the Apple App Store and Google Play. The data excludes advertising revenue.

Villainous Company: More Guns Don't Necessarily Lead to Higher Rates of Gun Related Crime
...it could be that concealed carry rates have no appreciable effect on gun deaths, as counterintuitive as that would be for both the gun rights and gun control crowds.
In looking at this chart, the Editorial Staff snidely thought to ourselves that the more guns = more gun-related crime meme rests on the assumption that all gun owners (whether they obtain firearms legally or otherwise) are equally disposed to commit crimes.
Doesn't make much sense, does it?
In addition to looking at the supply of guns, I thought it might be interesting to look at what has happened to the supply of criminals over time. Though this tidbit is interesting, I'd prefer to see normalized incarceration data:
the nationwide prison population swelled by about 80 percent from 1990 to 2000, increasing by as much as 86,000 a year. By contrast, from 2007 to 2008, that population increased by 25,000, a 2 percent rise.
Thanks to the magic of Google, here's a time series graph of the incarceration rate over the same time period used in the firearms chart:

- Uniform, orange globe-shaped fruit

Winner of SSE's 2007 Tomato Tasting. Uniform bright orange globes with solid flesh, few seeds, and mild sweetness. Excellent keeper. Indeterminate, 85 days from transplant.
Learn to Grow it
You should start plants indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date for transplanting them into the garden. Plant them outdoors 2-4 weeks after your last expected frost.
Plant your seeds 1/4-1/2 in. deep in soil trays or pots. Transfer them to 3-4 in. pots when their true leaves appear. When transplanting, bury seedlings up the stems up to their leaves.
Make sure that your soil is well fertilized as this crop is a heavy feeder and takes a lot of nutrients from the soil. Consider adding compost to the soil the year before you plant.
These plants prefer warm weather and soil so they should be grown when temperatures are over 68 degrees F. You should avoid watering them from above as damp leaves may be susceptible to disease.

Long Dormant Rockaway Beach Rail Line: Eyesore Or Savior?
Some people look at the long-abandoned stretch of railroad tracks as an eyesore – a place where locals dump their rusting and rotting garbage and derelicts hang out. They want to turn that eyesore into a greenway of sorts, a bicycle path that the community could be proud of.
Others, however, many of them who live or work in Rockaway, see that abandoned line as a chance not to build a bike path, but to revitalize the line and cut forty-five minutes for commuters from the peninsula to Manhattan.
Old-time Rockaway residents will remember that more than forty years ago, there were two ways to get to Manhattan from Rockaway on the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). The "long way" took passengers through the five towns and then to Jamaica and into Manhattan. The "short way" took passengers across the bay on what is now the subway trestle. That route went through central Queens directly to Grand Central Station in Manhattan. It is the four-mile stretch of unused track that is now the subject of the controversy.
While it regularly takes more than an hour to get to Manhattan from Rockaway, utilizing the unused track for a new rail system would cut that time to approximately 40 minutes, according to transit experts.
"Old time residents remember getting to Manhattan in 42 minutes," says Rockaway resident Norm Silverman, an official of the Regional Working Group, an organization that has been lobbying to reopen the unused line for years. "The long commute from Rockaway to Manhattan is unnecessary. Direct service through Queens on the old Rockaway Beach Line of the LIRR could save 20 to 30 minutes on each trip."
Silverman says that the group, working with engineers and commuters, hopes to get the funding from the MTA budget to reopen the line.
"The right of way still exists," he adds. "Brush, garbage and trees would have to be cleared and new tracks and signals installed, but it could be done for less than $400 million."
Community Board 14 favors the reopening of the line as well.
"The Community Board voted years ago to support the revitalization of the line, and we haven't changed that since," says the board's district manager, Jonathan Gaska.
Gaska, however, thinks that the revitalization of the line is a long shot.
"It probably would have been easier to do fifteen years ago when we first discussed it," he said. "Now, it's a tough issue. We are probably better off talking to the state to revisit express trains on the A Line and ferries."
"Those are probably more doable," he added.
Proponents of the greenway bike path, however, believe that the line will never be reopened and that their plan is the only viable answer to the deterioration of the right of way.
"We want to transform an unused, abandoned and rather ugly piece of land," Jordan Sandke of Richmond Hill told Oren Yaniv of the New York Daily News.
Any changes to the land, which is owned by the city, must be approved by three community boards (although not by Community Board 14, which represents Rockaway interests) and a number of city agencies.

I LOVE this oil. It only takes a few drops to cover the face, a couple more for the neck, so the bottle lasts a long time. It doesn't cause me to break out; I have no negative reactions to it at all. What it does is bring out a wonderful color and texture to the skin, plumping up the skin so that fine lines disappear instantly. I use it over a treatment or serum, and it doesn't leave my face oily. But if you have oily, normal or combination skin, this might not be the product for you. If, on the other hand, you have very dry skin, you must try this.5
