MARKET PULSE-Rocket Fuel, Stratasys, Omnicom, Apple, ArcelorMittal
(For more market insights, including options activity, click on ; for the Day Ahead newsletter link.reuters.com/mex49s; for the Morning News Call newsletter, link.reuters.com/nex49s) U.S. stock index futures fell on Friday. Dow Jones industrial average futures were down 0.13 percent at 16,489, S&P 500 futures were down 0.20 percent at 1,868.5 and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.21 percent at 3,530.
** OMNICOM GROUP INC, Thursday close $66.2
The proposed $35 billion merger between U.S.-based Omnicom and France's Publicis Groupe SA has been called off as the obstacles to moulding the two rivals into the world's largest advertising agency proved too much.
** APPLE INC, Thursday close $587.99, -0.01 pct premarket
Apple is close to paying a record $3.2 billion for Beats Electronics, two people with knowledge of the matter said, an expensive foray into music streaming and headphone gear that would mark a departure for the usually cash-conservative iPhone maker.
Separately, the company will unveil the next incarnation of its popular iPhone series in August, one month earlier than industry watchers were generally expecting, Taiwanese media reported on Friday citing unidentified supply-chain sources.

Mothers in Neptune. I'm sure there are good ones out there; statistics, if not anecdotal evidence, suggest that there have to be. But the ones I've seen? Don't quite measure up to the promises they tell you when you're a kid.
Veronica looked up from her desk as the door to the Mars Investigations office opened. Dick Casablancas wasn't exactly the last person she expected to see, but he was close.
She didn't say anything as he sat down on the couch; what was there to say? "I'm sorry your brother raped me, killed a bus full of kids and jumped off the roof of the Neptune Grand" didn't really seem appropriate somehow.
"I need your help," he said slowly, not looking up.
Veronica stood, but didn't go to him, hovering instead around the edge of the desk. "What do you need?"
"I want you to find my mom," he said, and Veronica had heard that one before. "Beav's ... Cassidy's funeral is tomorrow, and they won't let me move his body unless one of our parents signs for it."
Veronica swallowed. Dick wasn't exactly her favourite person, but she didn't think he deserved this. "She's not around?"
Dick shook his head. "She's in Sacramento. Just got back from Europe."
If Dick was trying to hide the pain in his voice, he wasn't doing a very good job. Veronica didn't point it out.
"Okay," she said. "I'll find her. Do you have an address?"
1147 Schwarzenegger Boulevard. Fitting, for the wife of the Governor's business manager. Unfortunately, the property was guarded by cameras and security guards who didn't seem to believe or care that I was a friend of her son's. So I resorted to more conventional means of getting Dick's mom's attention.
Veronica slid out of the car as she spotted the former Mrs Casablancas enter the café. Afternoon pilates followed by an overpriced all-organic soy decaf chai latte. The lives of the rich and powerful.
"Betina?" Veronica asked. The woman looked up as Veronica slid into the seat across from her. "Hi, I'm Veronica. I'm a friend of Dick's."
Betina smiled softly. "Oh, poor boy. How is he?"
"Not well. His brother's funeral is tomorrow, and he needs you to sign some papers."
Betina's smile faded, and she looked confused for a moment. "Oh, of course it's tomorrow. Does he need me to be there?"
"I think he'd appreciate it, yes."
Betina smiled again. "Of course I'll be there. You tell Dick I'll be on the first flight down. He knows that if he ever needs anything, all he has to do is ask."
What Dick really needed, Veronica thought bitterly, was to not have to hire a private detective to remind his mother about her son's funeral. She bit her lip.
"I'll tell him."
Veronica watched as Dick stood carefully two feet away from his mother. He hadn't thanked Veronica for finding her, and Veronica had neither expected nor needed him to. He had cried at the funeral, and she wasn't sure whether she had expected that.
It was a small service. Mac hadn't shown; not many people had.
Veronica hadn't watched as they lowered the casket.
"Lilies? I didn't order these."
"I did," Jake said, coming up behind his wife. He nodded at the men holding the flowers. "Take them inside."
"You didn't tell me you'd ordered lilies," Celeste said.
"You didn't tell me not to."
"It's tacky, Jake."
"They were Lilly's favourite."
"Of course they were." Celeste laughed, and Veronica hadn't thought it was possible to laugh at your own daughter's funeral. "But you don't have to give in to the whims of a dead girl, Jake."
Jake Kane turned away from his wife, and so did Veronica. She almost bumped into Duncan, who was staring ahead of him like he hadn't even seen her.
"Duncan," Veronica said quietly, and she had no idea what else to say. He looked at her, than, and Veronica took his hand almost before she realised what she was doing. He didn't pull away, and she breathed a sigh of relief as they walked into the church together.
"Lilly would have hated this," he said when the service was over, and Veronica nodded. If Lilly had had her way, there would have been no quiet church service. If Lilly had had her way, she wouldn't be dead.
"Duncan, come on. We've got to get home," Celeste said, and stopped when she saw Veronica. Veronica hurriedly dropped Duncan's hand. He didn't seem to notice.
Celeste looked Veronica up and down, a familiar look of distaste crossing her features. "Veronica," she said coldly. "Do you really think that dress is appropriate to wear to a funeral?"
Veronica blushed as she backed away. She didn't tell Celeste that the dress had been Lilly's, one she gave to Veronica. It was the one thing about the funeral Lilly actually would have liked.
That, and the lilies.
"Honey, you know I'm here for you any time you need me."
Betina's voice cut through her consciousness, and Veronica blinked. She wasn't at Lilly's funeral. She wasn't even sure if she was mourning.
She definitely didn't know why she was here.
"Now, I'm flying back up to Sacramento tonight, but you know I'm always just a phone call away."
Dick turned as his mother left, and Veronica offered the closest thing to a smile she thought was appropriate. Dick frowned and walked the other way.
"I guess he doesn't want to talk to me," Logan said as he came up behind Veronica, and she turned to face him. He took her hand, and Veronica let him, leading him away from the service.
He was dressed in black, wearing a suit she recognised. He had worn it to another funeral more than a year ago.
Veronica got out of her car and walked towards the cemetery. She could already see Logan, his head bowed, hands in his pockets. He straightened up when he saw her.
They walked in silence to his mother's grave. Lip service, really; they still hadn't found her body.
The headstone should have been tasteful and elegant. But it was just a little too big, a little too ornate. His father's doing, Logan had said.
"Beloved wife and mother. A star sent to heaven." Logan laughed, low and painful. "At least one of those is true."
Veronica looked at him. "Is Trina coming?" she asked.
Logan shook his head. "She's already on her way to God knows where. Ready to film her latest C movie."
Veronica didn't ask about Aaron. Even if Logan had wanted him there, it was doubtful he'd have come. He had already held his funeral.
"Do you think this is stupid?" Logan asked her finally, in a voice so low Veronica almost didn't hear.
She shook her head. "No."
"I just ..." Logan wasn't looking at her; he hadn't taken his eyes off his mother's grave. "I never got a chance to say goodbye to her, you know?"
When Veronica didn't say anything, he laughed again. "You can't mourn the living."
Veronica reached out and took his hand, an echo of the gesture she had performed for Duncan more than a year before. Logan didn't look at her, but he squeezed her hand slightly, and he didn't break.
"So, I'll come by your place later? Maybe we can have coffee or something."
Veronica nodded, and withdrew her hand slowly. "Sure. I'd like that."
Funerals. Anyone who says they're for the dead is either lying or seriously misguided. We create them for ourselves. It's our way of dealing with the grief. When the funeral is over, the mourning has passed, and we can move on.
I never got to bury my mother.
Veronica heard the door to the apartment open from her room, and she walked out, expecting to see Logan.
Or anyone but Lamb.
"Is your father here?" he asked, and Veronica shook her head.
"No. Why are you?"
"I need your help." His voice was anything but apologetic, and Veronica would have laughed if it weren't for the expression on his face.
"Help with what?"
Lamb strode into the apartment like he had been there a hundred times before, shutting the door behind him. "There's a guy wanted for murder in Texas. Sources tell me he's taken up in Vegas. I want to find him."
"So why do you need my help? Why don't you just go after him yourself?"
"It's out of my jurisdiction. Even if I find him, there's nothing I can do."
Veronica frowned. "If it's out of your jurisdiction, why do you even care? Let the cops in Nevada hunt him down."
Lamb turned to her, and his posture - confident, defensive, hands rooted to the gun belt on his hips - almost made up for the look on his face. "He's my father."
"And you want to bring him down?"
Lamb turned away. "Look, I figure we can track him down, call your father, he can bring him in. So do you want to help me or not?"
Numbly, not quite sure why she was agreeing, Veronica nodded. "Sure. Fine. "I'll help you."
Tracking down wayward parents. You'd think I'd be a natural at this. Dad thinks I don't know that he went looking for mom after the second time she split. I don't know if he ever found her. I don't know what he would have done if he did.
I did. She was in New Mexico the last time I saw her. I didn't announce my presence. I didn't run up to tell her that I forgave her, or that I didn't. I just left.
I must have learned that from her.
"Did I just see the Sheriff leaving here?"
Veronica looked up as Logan walked in, and forced herself to smile. "Yeah. It was nothing. He just wanted to remind me to come in for questioning. Like that's something I really want to do."
Logan smiled at her, and Veronica relaxed a little. "Okay, well, did you want to ..."
"Yeah." Veronica nodded. "Let's go."
"You wanted to see me?"
Lamb smiled tightly as Veronica walked into his office. "I have tickets to Las Vegas for this afternoon."
"We're flying?"
"Yes, we're flying. Unless you want to sit in a car for six hours while we drive there."
She really didn't. "Fine. What time's the flight?"
"Five thirty-five. You want me to pick you up at home?"
Veronica shook her head. "Do you know where the Mackenzies live?"
"Colony, right?"
She nodded. "Pick me up there."
He said he didn't want my dad involved in this before he had to be. I can see why he doesn't want dad's help, but I don't agree. I hate lying to him. But it's better than the alternative.
Veronica smiled at her dad as she got home. "I'm going to stay at Mac's for a few days," she told him, carefully maintaining eye contact. "Her parents are going out of town, and I don't think she wants to be alone."
Keith nodded, and Veronica went to her room, quickly packing a bag. She kissed her dad goodbye as she left.
It was a short drive to Mac's, and Veronica parked her car at the curb. She had only been half lying; Mac's parents were going out of town, but Mac was going with them, and she hadn't asked any questions when Veronica had told her about her cover story. Veronica almost wished she had; it would have been nice to hear her friend string more than a few words together, even if it meant having to explain her impromptu trip to Vegas with Neptune's not quite beloved Sheriff.
Lamb honked impatiently as he rolled up behind her, and Veronica got into the car wordlessly.
Flight 2617. An hour and fifteen minutes from San Diego to Las Vegas. An hour and fifteen minutes for me to work out why I'm even here.
"Give me your taser."
"What?" Veronica turned to look at Lamb, who rolled his eyes.
"Your taser. You know, that weapon that you don't think I know you carry? Hand it over."
Veronica pulled the taser out of her bag, and Lamb shook his head. At the security checkpoint, he placed it carefully alongside his gun, and flashed his badge as they were waved through. Veronica smiled. Maybe he could be good for something, after all.
"Can I have it back?" she asked, as they waited for their flight to be called. Lamb shook his head.
"When we get to Vegas," he said, and smirked. "If you're a good girl."
Veronica didn't bother to answer him.
He took up the arm rest once they were on the plane, and looked at Veronica as if daring her to complain. She shook her head and pulled a magazine from her bag.
Lamb handed her taser back after they landed, which almost surprised Veronica. They took a shuttle to the Riviera, and Veronica looked at him as they checked in.
"What, only one room?
Lamb smirked at her. "I wanted to keep an eye on you," was all he said.
They got in the elevator, and Veronica was careful to stay as far away from Lamb as she could in the confined space. When they got to the room, she heaved a sigh of relief at the two beds inside.
"I'm going to take a shower," she said, and Lamb nodded.
"I'll meet you downstairs."
The water was warm, almost washing away the guilt and indecision of the past few hours. When Veronica got out, she wrapped herself in a towel, taking her time as she dressed in something she hoped was suitably Vegas-y.
It didn't take her long to find Lamb when she got downstairs. He looked at her appraisingly, seeming to deliberately refrain from asking her how she got into the casino. It wasn't like he had never busted her for possession of fake IDs before.
Veronica laughed as Lamb lost his hand at the table, and he looked up at her, a challenge in his eyes.
"What, you think you can do better?"
Veronica smiled as she sat down, and Lamb slid half his chips over to her. It didn't take long for Lamb to lose his, or for Veronica to double hers.
"Why, Deputy," she drawled. "I do believe I'm winning."
Lamb scowled as he ordered them drinks, and Veronica didn't think that it would be a good idea to remind him that she was under twenty-one. She tipped the waitress with one of her chips as the drinks arrived, and looked up in shock.
Veronica sat, open mouthed, staring at Lianne. She almost didn't notice when Lamb left the table.
"What are you doing here?"
Lianne shrugged. "I'm working."
"I can see that. But ..." Veronica bit her lip before she asked her mother why she wasn't still in New Mexico. She wasn't supposed to know that. "How long have you been here?"
"About a month. I came up with ..." Lianne paused. "Veronica, I'm getting married."
Of all the things Veronica had ever expected to hear her mother say, that was definitely not one of them. "Married?"
Lianne nodded.
Veronica stared at her mother. "Tomorrow?"
"I know this is sudden, sweetie, but he's a good man. I think you'd like him."
Veronica thought that there wasn't much chance of that, but she didn't say that to Lianne. She couldn't seem to say anything.
"Oh, Veronica, I'm so glad you're here. I was afraid to call you, and ... it would really mean so much to me if you'd be there tomorrow."
Tomorrow. Her mother's wedding. This was way too much for Veronica to process.
But her mother was still looking at her, and as much as she wanted to, Veronica couldn't find the words to say no.
"Okay," she said finally. "I'll ... yeah, I'll be there."
When Veronica woke, it took her the requisite three seconds to register why she was in an unfamiliar bed. She rolled over as she finally remembered - Vegas. Lamb. Her mother - and blinked at Lamb, who was standing in front of her.
In a towel.
"Get a good look?" he asked her, and Veronica looked away. She got up, feeling distinctly overdressed in her pyjama pants and tank top.
"I'm going to take a shower," she said, hurrying into the bathroom before Lamb could drop the towel.
She came back out again in her pyjamas just as Lamb was pulling on his shirt.
"My mother's getting married," she said, still not quite believing the words that came out of her mouth.
Lamb looked at her. His gaze travelled over her body, and Veronica was suddenly glad that she was dressed in more than a towel.
Lamb raised an eyebrow.
"I told her I'd be there."
Lamb turned around, and Veronica supposed that that was her turn to get dressed. As much as she really didn't want to be naked in the same room as Don Lamb, it seemed that her only other option was to downstairs in her pyjamas, which was only slightly less appealing. She dressed quickly, keeping an eye on Lamb to make sure he didn't turn around.
When she had finished, she coughed, and Lamb turned to face her. He seemed thoughtful for a minute, and then nodded.
"Okay. You go with your mother, and I'll see what I can find out in the meantime."
Veronica nodded her agreement. "I'll call you when I'm done."
They went down in the elevator together, and Lamb smirked as Veronica was pressed up against him by a group of families. Crowd or not, Veronica silently vowed that she'd taser him if he moved his hand any further down.
He smiled as they went their separate ways in the lobby, and Veronica called her mother.
An hour later, she was standing in a dress shop as Lianne tried on her third gown of the day.
"What do you think?"
Veronica looked at her mother as she emerged from the dressing room, and smiled. "I think it's perfect."
"Really?" Lianne studied her reflection in the mirror. "You don't think it's too white?"
"It's your wedding dress," Veronica reminded her. "Besides, it's ivory."
Lianne still looked unconvinced, and Veronica reached out and took her hand. "You look beautiful. Trust me. It's the one."
Lianne smiled at her. "Oh, I hope so. This is ..." She paused as she went back into the dressing room. "I'm just really nervous. I shouldn't be, you know? I mean, I've done this before."
Veronica winced.
"I'm just really glad you're here, Veronica. It means a lot to me."
Lianne smiled as she came back out holding the dress, and Veronica nodded.
"I've been sober," Lianne said, after she had paid for the dress. "Two months and eight days."
Veronica looked up at her mother with something a little like shock.
"I just ... I wanted you to know that. That I've changed."
Veronica nodded. "Come on. We should get to the chapel."
"Okay. But wait, let me change first."
They had just got to the chapel when Veronica's phone rang, and she answered it with an apologetic smile.
"Where are you?" Lamb.
"Just got to the chapel," she told him.
"Across from the hotel?"
Veronica nodded, and then realised that Lamb couldn't see her. "Yes."
"I'll be there in a minute."
Veronica frowned as she hung up. A few minutes later, Lianne got up from her seat.
"Don!" she called, running over to embrace him, and Veronica cringed. "I didn't realise you two were -"
"We're not -" Veronica began, but Lamb interrupted her.
"Lianne," he said. "It's been a long time."
Just then, they were interrupted by a man who came up to touch Lianne just above the elbow. From the way he looked at her, Veronica guessed he was the groom-to-be.
"John," Lianne said. "This is my daughter, Veronica. Veronica, this is John."
He looked ... normal. Veronica didn't know whether or not that surprised her. But more than that, her mother looked happy, and Veronica tried to be happy for her.
"They're ready for us."
"Need a date?" Lamb asked, as John led her mother out of the waiting room. Veronica rolled her eyes, but she smiled.
"So what did you find out?" Veronica asked Lamb outside the chapel. The service had been short, and Lianne and her new husband had rushed off afterwards, leaving Veronica and Lamb alone.
Lamb frowned. "I got the address. He's staying on the edge of town. I rented a car."
Veronica nodded. "Let's go."
She followed Lamb to the car, and they sat in silence on the short drive over. Eventually, they pulled to a stop outside a small, weather-beaten house.
"Is this it?" she asked.
Lamb nodded, his jaw clenched tightly.
Veronica got the message that he didn't want to talk, and fell silent, watching with Lamb as he stared at the house. There were a million things that she wanted to say, but she didn't think he'd want to hear any of them. So they waited.
It was almost dark when they saw another car pull up.
"Is that him?" she asked, as a man got out of the car and walked up to the house.
Lamb nodded.
"It doesn't look like he's going anywhere," she said, after they had waited a few more minutes. "I'll call my dad."
Lamb started the ignition.
Veronica pulled out her phone and dialed the familiar number, smiling grimly when her father picked up.
"Dad," she said. "Listen, don't be mad, but I'm not at Mac's."
"I figured."
Veronica frowned. "What do you mean, you figured?"
Beside her, Lamb smiled.
"I called there today when your phone was switched off." Veronica could almost hear his shrug. "It was just a hunch. So where are you?"
She took a deep breath. "I'm in Vegas. With Lamb."
There was a pause at the other end of the line. "If you're calling to say you got married, I'm seriously considering disowning you."
Veronica almost laughed. "To Lamb? Is that really what you think of me?"
"Some days, Veronica, I don't know what to think."
She frowned. "Well, you can rest easy. We're on a case. Guy wanted for murder in Texas. Think you want to come pick him up?"
"All right. What's the address?"
"Well?" Lamb asked as she hung up.
"Well, my dad was happy to hear he hasn't suddenly gained a son-in-law."
Lamb smirked.
"And he said he'll be on the next flight over."
"Which means we'll be on the next flight back."
Lamb pulled in at the rental place, and Veronica looked at him. "Who did he kill?"
There was a long pause, and she thought he wasn't going to answer.
"My mother," he said finally.
Veronica knocked on the door, not sure if Lamb was going to answer. When he did, his eyes were bloodshot, and she wondered whether he'd been crying or drinking.
As he stepped aside to let her in, she saw the bottle on the table, and thought that maybe it had been both.
Lamb didn't ask her why she was there, like Veronica had been expecting. Instead, he reached for a glass from the kitchen and sat it next to him on the table, pouring a generous amount of amber liquid. Veronica took it silently as he handed it to her, and bit back a complaint as the whiskey burned its way down her throat.
"My dad hauled him in," she said as Lamb poured himself another drink. She refrained from saying "your father"; Lamb hadn't referred to him like that since he had told her who they were going after, and she didn't think he liked to be reminded. "He's flying back tomorrow."
Lamb nodded, and she finished her own drink. This time it burned slightly less.
He poured her another.
"The funeral was today," he said, sitting down on the couch. After a minute's hesitation, Veronica joined him.
"You didn't go?"
He shook his head. "I'm holding my own."
Veronica nodded. After everything, she couldn't say it didn't make perfect sense to her.
"My family," he said, when Veronica was on her third glass.
She shrugged. "I've seen worse."
He looked at her then, and she couldn't hold his gaze. "Okay," she admitted. "Maybe not a lot worse."
"Was it awkward?" Lamb asked. He didn't need to clarify what he was talking about.
"Oh yeah," Veronica said, and drained her glass. She should have stopped him when he reached to fill it up again, but she knew that she wasn't drinking for herself.
"Were you close to your mother?" she asked softly.
Lamb shrugged. "Not since I moved out here."
Veronica didn't ask him if he regretted it. It was a stupid question.
"Do you miss yours?"
She considered the question. "Sometimes," she admitted. "I used to, the first time she left. The second time ..." She shrugged. "I got used to it."
"And I have my dad." She felt guilty even as she said it, but Lamb didn't seem to mind.
"He's a good father."
Veronica looked at him. She couldn't remember the last time Lamb had said anything nice about her dad. "He is."
"Lousy sheriff."
She laughed. "He was better than you."
"That not what the voters say," Lamb said, and smiled. "Besides, he just couldn't pull off the look."
"You mean the 'I'm a complete jackass' look?"
"Admit it. I'm growing on you."
"Never," Veronica said, not quite sure which she was talking about.
"You helped me."
She shrugged. "It was a case."
They finished the bottle sooner than they should have, and if Veronica was drunk, Lamb was way past her.
"You need to go to bed," she told him seriously, and he smirked.
"Was that an offer?"
She laughed. "Only in your dreams."
The look in Lamb's eyes told her way more than she needed to know.
"You can't go home," he said, as Veronica helped him towards the bedroom.
"I can and will."
"You can't drive."
She shrugged. "I'll call a cab."
He looked at her, and Veronica almost flinched from the look in his eyes.
"Stay," he said. Not quite pleading, but not in any tone she'd ever heard from him.
"I'll stay on the couch," she agreed softly, and he nodded.
Family can be a tricky thing. You can't help the one you're born with, though most of us wish we could. But the good thing about family is that sometimes you get to make your own.

Someone walked in.
'Are you Imira? Are- are you okay?' they said. I looked up and glared at them. But I'd never seen this vampire before. He moved as if to run, but I had nothing against him.
'Wait! Shorty, just wait for a moment.' I said. He looked at me.
'I'm sorry,' I said. 'I thought you were Raven, messing about.'
'Is that who you were screaming at? Why?'
'Because he bit me.' I replied. I looked out the window and saw it was snowing.
'Hey, come on, lets go have a snowball fight! I'll beat you by miles!' I said brightly.
'You? Beat me? That's something I'd like to see.' he said, smiling.
That was the start of the great Vampire Mansion snowball fight.

The Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, last night unveiled an overhaul of the way the Bank provides cash to troubled lenders, while expressing his strong support for the City as a hub of global finance.
Mr Carney said the new liquidity framework reflected lessons learned from the financial crisis, when the Bank was criticised for being too slow to support crisis-hit lenders.
The Canadian promised that, in a new financial emergency, the Bank would lend to private banks against a wider range of collateral, rather than insisting on the best quality assets as before. He added that the Bank would lend funds for longer and that its facilities would be cheaper. Combined, policymakers hope these measures will make banks more willing to lend to those wanting to borrow.
"Five simple words describe our approach: we are open for business" Mr Carney said. He added that the new framework was "not ornamental" but was designed in the full expectation that struggling banks would in future avail themselves of the backstop lending.
And in a move likely to be interpreted as a departure from the approach of his predecessor, Lord King, who persistently warned against banks that are "too big to fail", Mr Carney said that the issue was safety, not size. "It is not for the Bank of England to decide how big the financial sector should be" he said. "Our job is to ensure that it is safe".
Mr Carney also warned that global "financial fragmentation" since the since the crisis of five years ago was holding back growth and undermining living standards. "Cross-border capital flows have fallen sharply since the crisis. Multilateral trade liberalisation has stalled, to the detriment of global prosperity" he said.Reuse content

Baked Rigatoni with Gorgonzola and Radicchio
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rigatoni and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain well in a colander, rinse under cold water and drain again. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Set aside.
Preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large fry pan over high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the radicchio, rosemary and vinegar. Sauté until the radicchio is soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pasta.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat. In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the melted butter and continue whisking until it turns light brown, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the warmed milk and bring to a very low simmer. Cook the sauce, stirring often, until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Stir in the Gorgonzola. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer the pasta to a 4-quart (4-l) baking dish and sprinkle evenly with the bread crumbs.
Bake until the sauce is bubbling, and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve. Serves 6 to 8.
Adapted from Williams Sonoma Pasta Night, by Kate McMillan (Weldon Owen, 2014)

Rocoto chile peppers (Capsicum pubescens) are one of the staple chiles used in Peruvian cuisine, along with aji amarillo, aji limo (often used in ceviche), and aji panca. Rocotos are quite spicy and resemble small bell peppers. In fact, the first time I saw them in the grocery I thought they were baby bell peppers, so I bought them, chopped them up, and put them in a salad - a fiery mistake!Rocoto peppers really shine in the salty, flavorful salsas that are almost always on restaurant tables or accompanying rotisserie chicken. This rocoto sauce is made with mayonnaise and lime, and is delicious with chicken and potatoes, on sandwiches, etc. You can find jarred rocoto paste in Latin markets and groceries that sell Peruvian products, or online.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2-4 tablespoons rocoto chile pepper paste
- Juice of one lime
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste (note - some jarred rocoto paste is already salted)
How to Make It
- Whisk ingredients together as listed, starting with 2 tablespoons of the rocoto paste.
- Add more rocoto to taste, depending on level of spiciness desired.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to used.

I wonder if this is for the pack-in download of the original game. I didnt play it, so Im glad I get to, but it seems weird that the achievement unlocks under this game (unless the original game is treated as an in-game feature rather than its own arcade downloadable title - I cant see it working any other way, unless this is just a bad description)

Yeah It does seem like a weird thing to do. Yet the Achievements for the original Alice only add up to 100 so maybe its 900 for Madness returns and 100 for the Original Alice, but all under one banner.

I'm confused... Isn't the first Alice supposed to also be a stand alone xbla release later this year? Meaning it would have it's own 200 achievement points? I hope this isn't accurate or we are misreading it.
Am I the only one that finds it odd that there is no info/trailers anything on Xbox Live and this comes out Tuesday?

you get a code in your game case when you buy the game. its not a standalone game but but rather more as dlc. also the graphics are improved and all that.

I just got through beating this. It was a great trip down memory lane. It is a little buggy, but manageable. My suggestion is to save FREQUENTLY! Cause you'll die a lot from something as simple as missing a jump. It's a tad annoying. But the game was fantastic. Gonna start on Madness tomorrow. Good gaming everyone!
|Comment #8 by Jack Pumpkinhed
Thursday, June 16, 2011 @ 02:06:39 AM
I second the saving frequently. This is an older game and only autosaves when you enter a new level. I think the reason this is tied to Madness returns is because it's a niec bonus and it's to get people caught up on the story of the original.
As for it being released as a stand alone, it will not have achievements. You will still need the Madness Returns disk to access the game. They are doing that for people who gamefly or buy used.

So if I shell out the $10 for American McGee's Alice and I don't have the retail game I can't play it? If that is true then it's really an awful move on EA's part. But that's what you get dealing with EA.

Monday, June 20, 2011 @ 04:38:06 PM
@11 its a feature of the game that you have to have an online pass for not regular DLC.
By your logic Bulletstorm broke the rules becuase it has MP achievements that require the pass.
Either way there's no rule that says a retail game has to have the full 1k, there have been others that have had less like Condemned and one of the LOTR games.
|Comment #13 by Darkelf X

@12 : OK, haven't played Bulletstorm yet. I'd really like to see MS stopping these kinds of "pay extra for your GS" methods. :/
I know I know.. :D
@Game : It was really nice, to play it again (still have my PC version :) ), BUT they should have at least taken the new control mechanics from A:MR for jumping and walking. XD

For anyone out there who is having trouble with the final boss this is what you do.
The monster queen will duck into the abyss. With the Jabbawock eye staff hold down Y. This unleashes a massive air-raid that will kill all the tentacles. Then fall down to the ledge on your right and collect the blunderbuss. Shoot her in the head. The blunderbuss uses the whole blue bar so you have to collect more hearts and two more shots should finish her off.

American McGee's Alice was terrible. At the very least, they should have added some slight adhesion factor to the game engine, considering you spend so much time platforming.
The concept of AM:A is great, but the developers are lazy for shoving their 11 year old game into a $60 retail sequel with only a graphical upgrade. This is 2011, try utilizing the abilities of modern consoles.
Also, to clear up the speculation above, AM:A is a Game Add On to Madness Returns when you look it up in the XBL Game Marketplace. It sells for 800MSP.

Yes. Right now I'm stuck in the crazed clock work trying to get to hatter. I have no clue what I'm doing and other than this game needing a major graphics and play update like auto saving in more than one place and better jumping abilities I like it. I never got to play the pc version so it's nice to know the backstory on madness returns.
|Comment #19 by Jack Pumpkinhed
Monday, June 27, 2011 @ 05:55:03 PM
@16: This wasn't really put in the game to be "new and improved" or anything of the sort. It's like a bonus for all the AM:A fans from WAY back when it initially came out as an awesome add on. By today's standards, yes, the game is definitely dated. Then again, I wouldn't be excited to play a updated version with new sequences, moves etc. because it destroys the nostalgia.
Either way, I don't think they are lazy for "shoving" their original game into this. I applaud them for doing what a ton of gamers wanted, which was for AM:A to be released in one form or another on Xbox.

@King I'm sure you've beat it on nightmare by now and so you realize you get the achievement for beating EVERY level upon completion of Nightmare. That allotta bloops! This is a loop hole that my bf discovered sometime ago and it is applicable to practically every game with the same line of completion achievements.

@24: an old shotgun.
@23: so you get the achivments for the original alice if you beat this one on nightmare? Thats a little shaddy: fool people into thinking you need to buy it new or an addon to by pass MS's rule of 1000gs w/out extra purchases. Also, to the person who mentioned fable 2: they fixed that (I think through DLC and/or the game thing on their site) because it was an accident. They didn't do it on perpouse and MS didn't let them get away with it.

You know, all of you can complain, bitch moan and gripe about this, but I for one absolutely loved AM:A for the sheer fact that it was challenging. If you can't get the controls down for the 360, then try something else and stop saying that they need to "stop making these kinds of horrible games." I agree with comment #19, and I love the nostalgia this game brings with it, as well as the satisfaction of finally killing the Jabberwocky and the Red Queen.

Just started playing AM:A last night and quite frankly it was amazing. Played it several times on the PC years ago (and still have it kicking about somewhere). The to be honest the controls on the 360 are FAR better than they were on the PC, so stop complaining !

I don't see what all the whining is about. Back in October of 2000, this was praised for its graphics and gameplay. This is what passed for a good game back then, and it's meant to tell the backstory of A:MR. Personally I like this idea, they figured this much later, the fanbase of this game was going to be insanely higher than that of the older game, and they wanted fans to experience both.

It does feel very outdated now, and was obviously built for PC, but I'm not finding it too bad. A game isn't good if it isn't challenging. I'm just going through it on Normal. Some of the jumping is dodgy though....

I think the game is a nice add-on when buying Madness Returns. It allows you to catch up with the story and gives you a chance to play the original without searching for a copy in a store which may or may not be compatible with your PC.

@46 - I just bought the game second hand, not knowing that you needed DLC to get all the achievements, so I was pretty irritated at first. However, I can confirm that the DLC IS still available as I downloaded it might. You may need to access it via the game's title screen though as opposed to Xbox marketplace. And the good news is that it is indeed free, if I'd had to pay for it I would have punched through a wall. No wonder EA is the most loathed games company in the world in spite of its sales.

A challenge in systems-level investigations of the immune response is the principled integration of disparate data sets for constructing predictive models. InnateDB (Lynn et al., 2008; http://www.innatedb.ca), a publicly available, manually curated database of experimentally verified molecular interactions and pathways involved in innate immunity, is a powerful new resource that facilitates such integrative systems-level analyses.
The innate immune system is governed by complex networks of molecular interactions, which when perturbed can result in dysfunction such as inflammatory disease. Systems biology approaches, which incorporate powerful high-throughput measurement technologies with computational analysis and mathematical modeling, are allowing us to study such molecular systems on multiple levels of regulation (Gilchrist et al., 2006; Oda and Kitano, 2006). These include protein-DNA interactions in transcriptional regulatory networks, microRNA regulatory networks, epigenetic processes involving DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling, protein-protein interactions in signaling networks, as well as autocrine and paracrine communication networks between cells. The construction of mathematical models, inferred from such global data sets measured dynamically over time and integrated with information available in public databases, will make it possible to predict cellular behavior under new conditions or environmental perturbations and, ultimately, will enable the development of systematic intervention strategies for reversing pathophysiological effects.
One of the most significant challenges in systems-level investigations of the immune response is the principled integration of disparate types of data for constructing such predictive models. The availability of information about molecular interactions and pathways is critical for addressing this challenge as it can (1) significantly reduce the search spaces for data-driven network reconstruction since the inferred dynamical rules of interaction can be constrained or biased toward the known network structures; (2) mitigate the sample size requirements for network inference since prior information about the connectivity is available; and (3) facilitate the interpretation of complex data sets, which can be visualized in the context of such pathways. In a recent issue of Molecular Systems Biology, Lynn et al. (2008) describe a powerful new resource that facilitates such integrative systems-level analyses: InnateDB (http://www.innatedb.ca) is a publicly available, manually curated database of experimentally verified human and mouse molecular interactions and pathways involved in innate immunity.
InnateDB contains more than 3500 curated innate immunity-relevant interactions involving around 1000 genes. In addition, to improve coverage of the innate immunity interactome, over 100,000 known interactions and approximately 2500 pathways from major public databases are also included and intelligently grouped to avoid redundancy between databases. The manually curated data are richly annotated with a variety of useful details, including supporting publications, interaction detection methods, interaction types, information about cells or tissues, and other contextual annotations. Where available, such interaction annotations from other databases were also imported into InnateDB. Importantly, all interaction data in InnateDB are available for download in a standard format, allowing computational biologists to analyze the interaction data using the tools of their choice and integrate such analyses with other measurement data. Additionally, detailed orthology predictions have been integrated into InnateDB in order to facilitate comparative network analysis of human, mouse, and cow.
InnateDB interacts with the user using a flexible web-based interface that offers searching by molecules, interactions, or pathways and provides lists of synonyms and external identifiers for genes and proteins. More complex queries are possible with Boolean operators, and molecular interactions can be searched by interaction type, cell or tissue type, and other annotations. The user can also search for genes that belong to a particular pathway along with all the genes that interact with them. Such searches can then be visualized using the Cerebral plug-in (Barsky et al., 2007) for Cytoscape (Shannon et al., 2003). This useful tool, also created by the InnateDB team, can visualize a network (e.g., the result of a pathway search), using a localization-based layout whereby the nodes of the network are arranged according to their subcellular localization, such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell surface, and so on. Furthermore, if expression data are also provided, they can be superimposed on the network by coloring the nodes in accordance with the expression levels of the corresponding genes or proteins.
The creators of InnateDB have clearly recognized the need for a flexible integrated analysis framework in order to achieve the promise of systems approaches to understanding immunity. Indeed, in addition to the highly useful Cerebral plug-in, which contains several standard analysis tools, such as k-means clustering, InnateDB also offers basic pathway or gene ontology enrichment analysis tools for identifying particular pathways or ontology terms that are enriched in differentially expressed gene sets. Although these analysis capabilities are useful and can generate novel insights, one can readily envision the need for more sophisticated analytical approaches that may include other data types or modeling formalisms. These could include integration of interaction and pathway information with transcription factor binding site prediction algorithms (Lähdesmäki et al., 2008) or transcription factor localization measurements using high-throughput technologies such as ChIPseq, proteomic measurements, microRNA regulatory networks and their expression measurements, as well as statistical and mathematical approaches for reconstructing and simulating biomolecular networks (Bonneau et al., 2007; Ramsey et al., 2008).
These approaches undoubtedly require flexible and adaptable software architectures that can support the rapid development of integrated tools for analyzing heterogeneous data typical in systems biology (Boyle et al., 2008). Such software architecture is being used and further developed as part of a large NIAID-funded international consortium focusing on systems approaches to immunology (http://www.systemsimmunology.org). The data generated by the project, which include genomic (SNPs and forward genetic methods using ENU mutagenesis), tran-scriptomic (genome-wide exon-level expression), proteomic (membrane-bound or secreted proteins using mass spectrometry or phospho-signaling using multiparameter flow cytometry), and interaction data (protein-DNA interactions measured using ChIP-chip or ChIPseq), are made available through a web-based data portal that provides access to the raw and processed data as well as to higher-level analysis results (Ramsey et al., 2008; Korb et al., 2008). Ultimately, seamless integration of the data in this portal with InnateDB's interaction and pathway information would enable more powerful analyses to be carried out, thus yielding new insights into the nature of the molecular mechanisms by which the immune system responds to infectious disease by inciting innate inflammatory reactions and instructing adaptive immune responses. A number of large-scale programs directed at a systems-wide understanding of immunity are currently being funded by the NIH. These include programs on innate immunity (http://www.systemsimmunology.org), signal transduction (http://www.signaling-gateway.org), lipidomics (http://www.lipidmaps.org), glycomics (http://www.functionalglycomics.org), inflammation (http://www.gluegrant.org), and the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) (https://www.immport.org). In addition, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have funded a number of large-scale vaccine initiatives (http://www.cavd.org). All of these programs are generating a mountain of data that need to be stored and analyzed. InnateDB promises to be an important brick in the wall.

Using electroencephalographic methods (EEG), we have analyzed the basal sleep structure and the EEG power spectra of gerbils and rats during periods of wakefulness (W), synchronized sleep (SS) and paradoxical sleep (PS). During the 6 hr light period examined, duration of sleep was similar for rats and gerbils, but gerbils showed fewer PS episodes and a… (More)

The early effects of 5 or 10 min global cerebral ischemia, sham operation and halothane anesthesia were evaluated in Mongolian gerbils by means of electroencephalography (EEG), neurological examination and passive avoidance training. The "ischemia-sensitive" gerbils (33% and 64% of the 5 and 10 min ischemic groups, respectively) died during carotid ligation… (More)
